(A/N: Hey fans! I'd just like to thank my usual reviewers, and I'd like to also thank myself, for actually getting in the mood to writing another chapter. This is going to be a long story. About in the 30-50 chapters long, so don't anybody go anywhere. In the summer I usually update this story every week, so don't mind if you don't see my update until July. Since I'm in Canada for a while, I decided to update. So don't mind me. Please review. I'm so happy with the high amount of reviews, and I'm hoping that you all can keep on giving them to me. It would help a lot! And for the person who mentioned that Chibi means mini. I know that, I'm Japanese myself.)
Chapter 10: Once a Player, Always a Player, but sometimes… people can change the Theory.
Ring, Ring, Ring
Kagome groaned, as she hit the phone once more. She then buried her head in her pillow. Hoping for comfort.
It was Sunday, and was 10: 15 a.m. Ever since she saw InuYasha kissing Kikyo, and left him, he had been calling her every second of the day. She couldn't get up without hearing it ring! The ringing died down on Saturday, and became every half-hour. Today ever since 6:00 a.m he had called her every hour!
Kagome had not had slept since. Every time her head hit the pillow, it was awaken by the phone a few minutes later. Her mansion was entirely hit with the echoes of ringing on every wall.
Her mother had left a while ago. She left telling Kagome that she had things to accomplish for the day. Souta had finally gotten irritated, and left house to go hang with his friends.
So, here we had Kagome, in the house, alone…
Ring, Ring, R----
"THAT'S FUCKIN' IT! I'M SICK, AND DAMN TIRED OF HEARING THAT PHONE RING!" Chibi yelled, as she stomped into Kagome's room, and broke the phone in her room.
…Well… not entirely alone…
Kagome blinked. After not sleeping for two days, her senses were not what they used to be.
Chibi sighed. 'At least I got rid of one.'
She turned to Kagome, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Kagome, as much as I hate InuYasha…" she grabbed Kagome by her shirt "BUT YOU MUST TALK TO HIM BEFORE I'M FORCED TO KILL SOMEONE!"
Kagome sighed. "Chibi, I understand your pain, but I can't help you. All I want to do is sleep, and can't do it. My body is sore, my eyes are tempted to fall, my coordination is awful, and I can barely think straight. I need to sleep before I can solve anything. I also do not want to talk to him, ok?"
Kagome lightly toke Chibi's hands off of her, and rested her head on her pillow. Her attention was still on Chibi. Waiting for a response.
Chibi sighed. "Listen Kagome, I don't know what you're thinking about, or what happened, even though I can read your mind, but you must talk with him once you feel better. Your art assignment is due tomorrow, and your original classes will start soon. You need to talk. Plus, my cousin just moved near here. So, not only do you need your sleep. I have to meet her today."
Kagome nodded, and slowly drifted off into a deep slumber.
Chibi smiled. She always felt happy when Kagome was feeling better. Kagome grew to her like everyone else. She made her feel welcome, and appreciated. After having your parents killed, you lose hope. Tenshi, Kagome, Sango, and etc helped change that. Tenshi also helped by studying her powers, and helping them grow.
She silently tucked in Kagome, and left the room. Her thoughts could not be on InuYasha, or the evil phone. It had to be the new discovery she had just unfolded. That was her mission today.
That is what she needed to complete…
A woman walked the busy streets of Tokyo. A joyful smirked played on her face. The smirk was one of pleasure, a job well done, and other unknown things.
She walked continuously. The world was practically at the tips of her beautiful, and enlightening fingers.
The men whistled with amusement, and satisfaction, as they saw her grace walk with a steady, and sexy pace.
She wore a black denim mini skirt, and black suede boots. She also wore a simple purple, and black designed camisole. Jewellery was hanging off her body. And her usual dark shades, to match her dark hair, with some simple purple streaks. Light, and yet she was beautiful.
She walked into a jewellery & clothing shop, and went to the cashier.
The woman at the desk looked at her, and smiled.
"It's very nice to see you again. How are you?" She said kindly. You could tell she was innocent. Her hair was a short brown. She was wearing a pink baby doll t-shirt, and a pair of white denim Capri pants.
"I'm fine Yoko. I just lost a ring of mine. You know, the Angel Quartz?" She replied, as she laid down her purse.
"You lost it? But, it was given to you by a higher angelic as a gift. I don't know if I can give you a replacement. They aren't like ordinary rings, jewels, etc." Yoko explained.
"Well, I need a quick replacement. I'm on a mission for that bastard, and need a quickie. It doesn't have to be full powered. I had to transfer some power into my original, but I dropped it, and now 'they' have it." She said, as she toke of her shades.
Yoko nodded in understanding. "I'll look for one, but if I can't I suggest you use the other jewellery you were presented with. I'm not quite sure if I can help with the situation."
Yoko went into the back to go find what her customer was looking for. She would never admit it, but she always looked up to her, even if she was practically like a sinner of the angelic clan.
InuYasha collapsed onto the ground of his bedroom. Never in his life had he been so depressed.
He shook his head. No, when his childhood love left him in the dust with a broken heart, he felt an even greater pain.
He sighed.
Why? Why must she have left him? He knew that they would never be, but the fact that he had felt guilty kept bringing him down. It hurt so much he could barely stand it.
He got up, and laid down on his bed for comfort. The whole situation between the three of them that happened on Friday made him feel odd. It gave him the right to feel guilty about a woman's feelings for once.
Kagome was, different. That was all he could say. She didn't drool over him, like most of the female population did, and that attracted him to her. It made him happy. It was a challenge for once. He bet if he had dated her that the experience would be a whole different story.
She was rich, beautiful, strong, courageous, and smart. So many things he couldn't describe.
Even her scent made him to go crazy. Just the thought of her, turned him on…
…Seriously…
The thought just got him hard. How can one girl do this to him?
He even called every freaking hour. Before it was every half, and minute. How could she even stand to ignore him for so long? Was it the fact that she had truly hated him?
When she told him that… did she mean it?
The thought of that hurt him, and made his heart wilt in sadness. He was like a just born puppy, hoping for company, chance, and love. Mostly wanting attention though.
The frustration had finally hit him. It was 11:35 a.m, and he had yet to talk to Kagome.
He didn't care anymore. He wanted to see her. So he toke a shower, got dressed, ate some food, and walked out the door passing by Sesshomaru, and Rin.
He said his goodbyes, and left.
Driving quickly towards The Higurashi Mansion.
Tenshi sat down at her desk, as Chibi, and Aurora both seated on the other side.
"I'm confused… can someone kinda enlighten me on what is going on?" Aurora asked. She was fiddling around with some of the stuff in the room.
Chibi blinked. "Well, basically, I have a friend named Kagome, and when she was young she fell for a half-demon. That half-demon is InuYasha. Once Kagome's father died, she had to move, and could not see him anymore."
Aurora stared at Chibi waiting for her to continue. After a few minutes she narrowed her eyes.
"That's all?" She asked.
"What? You were expecting the whole fairy tale?" Chibi asked.
"Why y-"
Tenshi cut Aurora off. " The basic's is that after that, Kagome's memory was erased. InuYasha lost only some of his memories, and doesn't know the girl's, which is Kagome's, name. So lately, family, and friends have been managing the two. Only, when they both had their little 'reunion', we only found out that InuYasha became a player, and Kagome more violent. So we have to get them to remember. The only problem is we keep having interruptions along the way."
Aurora nodded. A little shaky, but since it was only the basics, she understood pretty well.
Tenshi put down a ring onto the table. It was the Angel Quartz Chibi had found.
"This ring is, an Angel Quartz. It is very rare. Chibi found it. We have reason to believe it has to do with most of the occurrences of an odd shadow lately. I've already informed Chibi of the basics, but after searching for a while, I found some results."
Tenshi handed the two of them of a folder. Both folders contained the same documents of information on the ring.
"It seems that after much consideration. This ring can only be owned by an Angelic." Tenshi put the ring down on the table. "Angelic's are powerful humans. Think of them as angels. Most innocent. They are basically a huge clan. The clan is filled with many gods. Each god consists of an element. Then there are subjects. They follow that element, and god. Each angelic gets jewellery. Basically female Angelic's do. Male Angelic's just get weapon, while, females on the other hand get both. Jewellery, and weapons are given to each angelic by a stage or age. Completing a grade in training for instance, will grant you with one. The higher you are in the stages or when you are awarded, then that means the more powerful your gift."
Tenshi looked at both girls, who nodded endlessly, barely listening, but still on page. They both looked at the documents as well.
Tenshi toke out a book, and opened a specific page. Showing to them. It showed many jewels, and descriptions.
"The jewels are like power stones, and other talismans. So judging by the fact that the intruder left an Angel Quartz, it gives us the clue that they are a female."
"That, and the fact that their, an Angelic." Aurora chimed in.
"Correct." Tenshi nodded.
"She must be strong, because this ring seems very full of her energy." Chibi said, as she held the ring in between the tips of her fingers.
Aurora just looked at the ring carefully, as Chibi held it.
"Hey, what would happen if the ring was worn? What's so special about it?" She asked. She was quite curious about the things going on around her.
Tenshi looked at Aurora, and stated, "Put it on."
With hesitation, Aurora toke the ring from Chibi's hand, which earned her a hit, and put the ring on her finger.
Once it was on, she just blinked. Continuously she blinked.
"What do you feel?" Tenshi asked.
"I feel… light? Different? Refreshed? Energized?"
Tenshi smirked. "You feel refreshed, because this specific jewel enhances power, and magical abilities. It also helps stop depression. Most problems are taken away from your body while you wear it. Once it's taken off, unless you've trained well, your power, and feelings ill go back to its normal state."
Aurora nodded. "What about the elements? You said there were many elements. What different kinds are there?"
Tenshi put her index finger under her chin, and thought. She was trying to remember the different elements.
"Well, I only remember some. That, and the fact is, that I didn't finish reading the many different things on Angelic's. But, the ones I remember are: Dark, Light, Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Ice, Sleep, Heal, etc. Just think of one's that are normally used in this time, and age."
"Ok, so tell me this, what do you want us to do now?" Chibi asked. She was getting irritated that she was getting left out."
"I want you two to visit a jewellery, and clothes shop downtown. It's very rich, but I have rea to believe that a trainee Angelic works there. She is also responsible for carrying the Angelic jewels, charms, and weapons." Tenshi went onto her computer, and searched something up. " Her name is Yoko. Inside your folders, it has info on her, and things you may want to ask about. She should be able to help you two."
Aurora nodded. " So do I take the ring?"
"Yep," Tenshi nodded, " You'll need it as evidence that you know what you're talking about."
Aurora walked out the room, while Chibi toke a notepad, and pen, then followed her.
Tenshi just stared into space.
Different events were happening lately, and sometimes. They're just hard to understand. After the mystery of this Angelic is solved, they can go back to the original problem.
… InuYasha and Kagome…
Tenshi may have only met Kagome after the fact, but she still cared for the issue.
InuYasha was mainly hurt, and deceived most of his life. And Kagome, she was usually put in the middle of things.
It was the death of her father, and the person who caused it, to cause so much havoc.
InuYasha drove up to the mansion, and entered, pushing all the guards, and people out of his way.
He no longer cared. His project was due tomorrow, and he needed it done. He also wanted to see Kagome. To smell her, to see her genuine smile, shine up his day.
When he walked into the mansion he spent 36 minutes wandering around, trying to find his way to Kagome's room.
…InuYasha always gave dense a WHOLE new meaning…
When he stood at her door, he grew tense. Her scent became strong, and from the hint of difference in her scent, he could tell that Kagome was tired.
Who could blame her? Not getting any rest for two nights can be tiring. He rested his hand on the doorknob, and slowly turned it, opening the door. He was trying to be silent.
When he entered the room, the door slowly creaked. Showing anybody with sensitive hearing, that he had indeed entered.
He walked up to Kagome, closing the door behind him. Then kneeled down beside her.
He smiled. He felt… peaceful. Kagome was sleeping in a large T-shirt that stopped at her thighs.
He continued to watch her.
'She's more beautiful than usual. She just glows.' The exhaustion showed, but she still had that cute, adorable, and innocent face, that she always deeply held.
He reached out, and gently touched her face.
Her skin was soft, and delicate.
Kagome felt something smooth against her cheek, and wanted to feel more of it. Whatever it was, it was soft. She liked that factor.
She slowly opened her eyes. Slowly blinking them open, and screamed at what she saw.
Aurora, and Chibi entered the store of Tenshi's demand. When they entered the store they noticed its beauty, and the many customers it held.
Chibi's eyes darted around the room, and lead Aurora to the cash register.
Yoko was there at the moment. She had told her customer to go into the back room, and told her to check for what she was looking for on her own. That way she wouldn't have looked stupid, if she had gotten the wrong thing.
Right now Yoko was shining the glass, trying her best to make it look perfect.
Her attention was averted from the glass when two women stood up to her. She thought the one with the pink hair looked cute. They must have been relatives, because they had some similar qualities.
"Welcome, what can I do for you two today?" She said in a cutesy tone.
Aurora put down the ring on the desk.
"Were looking for information on this specific ring. We think that you may know a few things that we want to, on it."
Yoko blinked, and looked down at the ring, and then at Chibi who had then taken out a notepad, and pen.
Yoko shook her head stubbornly.
"I do not know of what you speak. I know nothing about that ring." She said, as she continued to clean.
Aurora, and Chibi exchanged looks.
"I think you do know," Chibi started, "It's an angelic ring, am I right bitch?"
Her tone was irritated; you could tell she wanted to get straight to the point. Chibi was always the direct type. She always toke the direct approach.
Aurora on the other hand, was smirking. Yoko was innocent. She could see it well enough. She knew that Yoko wasn't trained either. So, if they were about to fight her, she would back down from her lack of strength, and knowledge.
Yoko stared at Chibi, then Aurora. Aurora just closed her eyes, and crossed her arms.
"Tell us, NOW." She stated.
Yoko nodded. When Chibi had stated it was an Angelic ring, you could tell that they knew their information, and wouldn't leave without more.
"It's and Angel Quartz-" She started, only to be cut off by Aurora.
"We know that already, get to the point." Chibi smacked Aurora from the back of her head.
"She was going to," Chibi looked at Yoko, "continue."
"Well, this one belongs to a passed Angelic. Meaning so is like a sinner. Her tribe banned her. She's very powerful." Yoko slowly toke the ring, while Chibi was writing notes, and Aurora looking at the shining jewels.
Yoko saw the mysterious customer come back, and stand beside her.
"What's going on?" She asked. She had carefully tipped the ends of her glasses so Aurora, and Chibi would not see her eyes.
Yoko smiled. "Congrats, I just found your ring." She handed the ring to her.
Aurora just stared at her, while Chibi slowly –and smartly- scooted away.
The woman put on the ring, and summoned a time freeze. Doing flips off the walls then kicking Aurora to the ground.
"Thanks Yoko, much help." She said, as she stepped off the fallen Aurora, and made her way to the door.
Yoko nodded then dunked behind the desk. 'How come those two didn't get stopped as well? Are they also Angelic's?'
Her thoughts were stopped when she saw Chibi crawl beside her, and jot down some notes.
Aurora quickly attacked the woman recklessly, only to have every attack dodged.
She quickly went for a punch, but the mysterious woman caught the punch, and toke her hand, throwing her to a wall without any effort.
She snickered. "Please, like you would be any competition for me? You're still an amateur. Clearly you couldn't defeat a mouse. I'll thank you for the ring though; I couldn't imagine a life without it. Bye suckers!" She said as she summoned a cloud, and disappeared.
Aurora, Chibi, and Yoko coughed at the dust, and noticed time had just gotten back to normal.
"What the hell?" Aurora said, as she got up.
Yoko slowly scooted away, only to have Chibi take her by her collar.
"You… are… OURS!" Chibi yelled, and dragged Yoko out of the store, not caring about the customers, and having Aurora follow behind.
Kagome jumped out of bed, and put her back on the wall. Slowly sliding down.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She yelled. 'I don't know why I'm asking. Once a player, always a player.'
"I'm here to work on our project what else? I mean you don't even have decency! I keep calling about our project, and you can't even answer! What the hell is that? We have original classes tomorrow, and I think I want to start off fresh, don't you?" InuYasha yelled back.
'So much for telling her, you missed her.' His conscious said.
He growled. 'I don't need you right now.'
'Ok.'
(A/N: I know that was random, but I'm very random at the moment…)
"Decency? Decency? I bet you don't even know what the hell decency means! Just to let you know, you inconsiderate jerk; I haven't slept for two whole days! You want to know why? Hum, let me see, I don't know. Maybe it was you! You keep calling my house like it's the only number you know! And my needs are never important, right? It's only YOUR fucking needs that are important. Unless you get your daily fucking, you're not happy! You're such an unfair, fucking bastard of a guy I ever met!
"Excuse me?" InuYasha yelled back.
"You heard me straight! You know exactly what I said! Get out of my house!"
"NO!"
"What?"
"You heard me! Here you are sitting here sleeping when we should be working. You're such a bitch!"
"Bastard!"
"Slut!"
"Ass!"
"Whore!"
"Whore? You're the MAN WHORE!"
"FEH!"
Both of them sighed.
"What's the point in arguing? The only reason why I've been avoiding you is, because you're such a dog, and I hate your perverted habits. You think women are objects, and their not!"
InuYasha looked at her. Her eyes held so much emotion. He could tell there was more to what she was saying by the way her voice cracked. But, he wasn't willing to pressure her into something she didn't want to tell him.
"Sorry…" he said.
Kagome looked at him. She was shocked. 'The' Great InuYasha was saying sorry?
InuYasha looked at her.
"What?" He yelled.
"No, it's nothing. I just can't really see you apologizing to someone. You're thick headed, and junk. You like stick to what you yourself choose to believe in. That's one thing I like about you." She smiled.
InuYasha looked at her, and snickered.
"Don't get used to hearing it, 'cause I ain't gonna be saying it often!" InuYasha stated. He looked to the ground in a depressed fashion.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." She hesitatingly replied.
"Will you promise that we can be friends? I don't care about getting you into bed. As long as we are both friends, I can be happy."
She smiled, and nodded. "Sure."
She pulled out her hand, and let InuYasha shake it.
"Friends?"
InuYasha shook her hand. "Friends," and captured her hands, "Just remember to accept me for who I am."
Kagome nodded. "Let's finish the assignment, k?"
"Feh."
… But sometimes… people can change the Theory…
(A/N: FINALLY! I finished this chapter. I enjoyed writing this one, because I like it when they finally become friends. I wanted to make it more dramatic, but the situation I typed this in, kinda stopped me from doing so. So don't mind. As usual I want 15 reviews from both fanfiction . net and adultfanfiction . net . Please tell me things I must improve on if you really want them improved. As for the fear factor thingy, I don't watch it, but e-mail me if you want ideas still. Also, I have some of the 11th chapter done. Yoko moments, Inu/Kag moments of course, Sess/Rin, San/Mir moments will all be in there. I'm not to sure about Aurora since she's not really tied into anything, but I will see. Chibi, Tenshi, Rai, will also be in there. Some characters will enter the scene. So don't forget to review. Even if it means that you just say update. I don't really care.)
