Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or his ears, or his beautiful silver hair, or his hot… wait I'm getting off topic here. Anyway, what I do own is the idea for this story-not to mention this story. Oh and I DO own all of my own added characters (Hyuka, Shinju, Yukina etc.) Though Yukina and Shinju were only in the prologue. And I will be selling Shinju on e-bay soon…didn't like his character too much.
A.N: Um…Well, not much to say except that if you didn't know, in the fic, Kag doesn't know that Hyuka is her step-mom and no one else does either. Hyuka wants to keep it a secret to save everyone the trouble…ya, right! Oh and I totally forgot to mention this in chapter 2 but Kouga is a demon in this fic. I decided to keep the demon's cuz I just hated the thought of Inuyasha without his little-whittle ears. BTW hope every1 likes this chap, I was very confused about some parts and…ya. I might not continue after this chapter though…sniffs I only got 5 reviews! I guess it's not too popular with you readers. If you want me to go on with this story just review and tell me…I need to be inspired! Ok, anyway enjoy!
Chapter 2: Flawless Planning
"Rise and shine Kikyo!" Kagome cried with absolute cheer. Kikyo who was still slumbering off in La-La Land mumbled a leave me alone then turned over on her cushiony (is that a word?) bed.
"That 'ain't gonna happen!" Kagome replied with more enthusiasm than a monkey high on liquid paper as she shook her older sister to get up again. 'Ughhhh, Just what I need,' Kikyo thought absent-mindedly. 'Kagome waking me up at 6:00 in the morning! Since Kagome was still shaking Kikyo like a rattle, Kikyo took her pink, fluffy pillow (identical to Kagome's) from underneath her head and plopped it over her face, covering her ears also. 'Why isn't she going away? I'm just too tired to go to wo-' She didn't get to finish her trail of thought because realization kicked in.
"Whoa!" She cried as she shot up from bed. "Kagome is waking ME up at 6:00 in the morning!" Eyes wide, she stared shocked at her younger sibling.
Kagome cocked an eyebrow. "Yes, Kagome is waking up Kikyo at six in the morning so she will get extra time to get ready for work." Kagome said talking in third person for no apparent reason.
"But why-I mean how?" She put a hand over her eyes to close them. "Wow, I wonder if this is like some weird dream and I'm just-Ow!" She opened her eyes and looked down at her arm where her pale colorless skin was now bright red. Then she glared at Kagome who was giving her wide, toothy grin.
"What, I had to show you that you weren't dreaming." She defended and sat down on the bed with a thump. "And besides, why is it such a big deal if I wake up early?"
"Well, first of all, you aren't the early-morning-type, secondly, you've actually never woken up before me just to tell me to get ready for work, and thirdly, the last time you woke up before 8:00 am was when they put Pirates of the Caribbean on T.V for the first time and they put it way too early but you just couldn't miss it." She answered all in one breath.
"Wow, when I asked you why it was such a big deal I didn't mean for you to tell me the whole story about Kagome Higurashi's waking up habits." Kagome replied obviously overwhelmed by what Kikyo had said, boy was Kikyo the observant one.
"Whatever," Kikyo replied then got up and left to go to the washroom. Kagome bit her pinky nail and started revising her plan.
"Hmmm…"
After five minutes of silent thinking she broke into a giddy smile.
"I get up early tomorrow morning, snag some of Kikyo's brand name clothes not to mention some money, get the 9:00 bus and head down to Wac Donald's, ask them for a job and that's it!" She said aloud. Yes, wasn't it sad? Kagome's plan had so many flaws you could easily say that it wasn't a plan at all. But Kagome always the naïve little girl she was hadn't even given those flaws a thought. In her mind it was go up to the owner of Wac Donald's ask him/her if she could get a job there and them answering ''Sure, why not? We always need more hands around the place." And so that was that. It was too bad she hadn't told anyone her plan yet, if someone had been drinking coffee it would be all over her face from them laughing.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
'Who are these people and exactly what are they doing here?' Was the only thought running through Kagome's head at the time. As soon as he had descended down the stairs from the room she and Kikyo shared, all she saw was men and women in black clothing with the word 'Crew' printed on their T-shirts pushing television equipment around. There were cameras about everywhere and Kagome got more confused by the second. She felt a warm hand on her shoulder and she turned around to see Kikyo giving her a questioning look.
"Don't ask me," she said shaking her head as she gave another glance around their huge living room. " I'm probably thinking the same thing you are." She nodded in agreement and whispered to her.
"Let's go ask one of the 'Crew' people." And Kikyo took her hand and pulled Kagome to the nearest 'Crew' member, a plump looking woman in her fifties.
"Excuse me," Kagome and Kikyo said in unison. The woman turned with a slight shuffle and looked at the two with a formal smile.
"Yes?" she asked. Her voice was frail and sounded gentle. The woman wore her hair in a lose bun, some of her grey hair sticking out in different places. Her face was a huge sign of wrinkles and aging but she seemed the grandmother kind. Surprisingly there was one thing that stood out on her. Covering her right eye there was a black eye patch. Kagome could think of no reason why she would be wearing it.
'Probably some sort of accident.' Kagome dismissed and Kikyo then spoke up.
"Um, we are the Higurashi daughters, my name is Kikyo," and she looked at Kagome. "And this is my younger sister Kagome." The old woman bowed as low as she could (which wasn't very low considering her age) and shook hands with the girls.
"My name is Kaede and I'm the interviewer. Did you girls need something?"
"Yes, um we were just wondering…" Kikyo trailed of not knowing how to phrase the question but then Kagome just simply blurted it out.
"Who are these people and what are you guys doing in our house?" Kagome asked totally forgetting her manners. Kikyo glared at Kagome who gave a nervous smile.
'What, I just don't like beating around the bush.' She thought. Kaede gave a knowing smile and glanced around the room. "Child, your mother is the mayor and we are here because we are having a live interview with her. And, as I told ye earlier, I'm the interviewer so I'll be interviewing your mother."
"Oh," Kagome said and Kikyo smiled. 'Yay! Maybe I can get on T.V!' she thought and rushed off to her room to change into something classier with a 'I'll see you later' to Kagome. Kagome sighed at her sisters behavior although only a few seconds earlier she hadn't been doing a very good job at displaying hers either. Kagome turned to Kaede who was shouting orders to some frazzled looking teenager who was probably new.
"So this is about the Shikon Industries thing, right?" Kaede turned her attention to Kagome again. "What, oh yes, yes. We need some answers about the whole thing and how Mrs.Higurashi is going to deal with this." Kaede answered. Kagome stood there in thought until Kaede interrupted her.
"Well, Kagome-chan I'll be going now, you can never trust those teenagers to do things right." Kaede said a shuffled off towards the flustered young girl carrying some equipment. Kagome shook her head of her thoughts and hurried upstairs.
As she got into her room she spotted Kikyo standing at the mirror touching up on her make-up. Once again she sighed deeply.
"Gosh Kikyo, it's not like your famous now or anything!" Kagome scolded while sitting atop her bed and flipping through a magazine aimlessly. Kikyo 'hmpfed' then carried on applying her makeup.
"Well, I still have to look good, what if the camera man gets me on tape an I'm not looking good, I'd die of embarrassment!"
"Whatever," Kagome said nonchalantly and closed the magazine with yet another deep sigh. 'So bored…need something to do…'Kagome then noticed the remote control to the T.V lying innocently on the bedside table.
"How about a little T.V," Kagome said to no one in particular. "We can even watch mom. That lady Kaede said it was going to be live." She picked up the remote and pressed the power button and the television flickered on. There was an American game show coming on channel 12 that was called 'The Price is Right' but since Kagome could barely understand English she decided to change the channel.
Kagome quickly surfed through the channels until she came upon channel 40, where the news would come on 24/7. There was a preppy looking young woman who was standing in front of a huge screen displaying the wind currents. 'Jeez, don't they know no one even listens to that stuff.' Kagome thought as she started getting bored again. A small flashing sign at the bottom of the screen caught her attention no sooner. " Tokyo Tonight will start at 1:00 am with a special interview with Mayor Higurashi." Kagome read aloud and Kikyo whose face was still pushed up in front of the mirror turned around with curiosity.
"Ooh yes! I hope mama's ready for this." Kagome nodded eyes still fixed on the T.V
"Ya, let's just hope she won't screw up, that Mr. Onigoumo Naraku creep will pop right up to get her seat." Kagome said and this time she wasn't just joking around.
