Servant for a hundred Days
Chapter 5: Sesshomaru's Birthday
"That's enough now, go and take a bath and change into the black kimono," ordered Inuyasha as he walked toward his bedroom. "So early? I haven't even finished sweeping the floor yet," Kagome protested. "We wouldn't want Kikyo to come and find us going out together would we?" asked Inuyasha flatly. "Kikyo is going too!" Kagome gasped in shock. "I rather die than going there than!"
"You are going and that is that!" said Inuyasha stubbornly, "So if you don't want her family and her to see you coming with me this early than step on it!" Inuyasha went into his room after that.
Kagome sighed, "Isn't it the same, weather they see me before we go or when they see me at the ball, this sucks!" Kagome complaint to herself. She swept all the dust into a dustpan and brought it all the way downstairs to throw it in the dustbin. After throwing the dust, she put back the broom she was holding and headed to Inuyasha's bathroom to take a bath. (I'm sure you wonder why Kagome didn't use any other bathroom right? It's because Inuyasha never wanted to tell her, and the mansion is just too huge for her to go find where the bathroom is.)
When kagome reached Inuyasha's room, Inuyasha was already done bathing and changing. Kagome almost turn into stone when she saw him. He wore a richly black tuxedo and tied his silver hair into a low ponytail behind him. He looked so handsome! Aren't like his usual gangster look, he now looked like a gentle man. Kagome quickly turned away when Inuyasha caught her looking at him and looked at her. She quickly went to Inuyasha wardrobe and grabbed the kimono and rushed into the bathroom and quickly locked the door. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the bathroom door and turn back to face the mirror and adjust the bow on his neck.
When Kagome came out of the bathroom, in the beautiful black kimono, Inuyasha was still in front of the mirror, but he was growling while adjusting the bow on his neck. After 30 minutes of bathing Inuyasha was still working on his bow? What an idiot! At last Inuyasha pulled the bow off his neck and threw it on the ground. "Stupid thing!" he yelled as he jumped on top of the bow in anger, just like a little boy. Kagome giggled and went up to him. Inuyasha stopped jumping and blushed when he saw Kagome, he blushed because of the beauty of kagome and because he was acting like a kid. Kagome took the bow from the floor and helped Inuyasha with it. "There, as simple as a piece of cake," she said while smiling at him. Inuyasha cleared his throat, "No one asked you to help," he said flatly. "Just admit it; you don't know how to use a bow, ah, let me help you with your hair too. You didn't brush it before you tie it, right?" said kagome as she untied the black ribbon and took a brush to brush Inuyasha's hair. Inuyasha obediently sit down on a chair to let kagome brush his hair, he purred slightly. "There," said kagome as she tied Inuyasha's hair together with the ribbon. Inuyasha snapped out of his little happy thought and stood up. "Let's go," he said as he exited the room. "Hai!" Kagome answered cheerfully as she followed him.
They reached a really, really huge mansion after 30 minutes of driving. And as usual, Kagome's mouth dropped opened again. Inuyasha sighed "You wouldn't want people to see that would you?" he asked, which made Kagome slap her mouth shut. They went into the mansion together, which was full of bright lights and music, many people was around too. At the great door of the mansion, there was a mid age man that has lots of wrinkles like a toad, well he look like one (I'm sure you could guess who he is). He frowned when he saw Inuyasha, and Inuyasha did the same thing back. The toad looking guy was about to say something when a beautiful looking women came from inside the mansion, she silenced the toad guy with a smile. This woman looked really elegant and totally beautiful, she has black hair tied into a bun behind her head, and she was wearing a white gown that flowed all the way to the ground, sparkling with the diamonds on it. She smiled at Inuyasha "Glad you could come, brother in law, Sesshomaru has been expecting your arrival,"
Than she looked at Kagome "Ah, this must be Kikyo,"
Kagome almost lost her balance but Inuyasha held her arm. Actually Kikyo and Kagome do look alike though!
"Kagura, this is Kagome, Kikyo will be coming later on with her stupid family," said Inuyasha calmly. Kagura start laughing. "Oh dear, (laugh) I'm sorry, I though you were Kikyo. You do look alike, and I'm glad it's you who came with my little inu-boy, not that stuck up Kikyo. Inuyasha, don't worry about the Kikyo thing, I hate them as mush as you do, Sessy also have a really deep dislike for them,"
There was smoke coming out of Inuyasha's head. "I appreciate you for having the same thought I have but what's with the 'Inu-boy' thing!" said Inuyasha raise his fist, but than he calm himself down with a deep breath. "Kagome, let's go in,"
Kagome quickly nodded and followed Inuyasha, not like she had any choice for Inuyasha was holding her arm. Kagura lead the way. Kagome still doesn't understand what Kagura and Inuyasha were talking about just now but she just played along.
Kagura brought Inuyasha and Kagome to an elegant and beautiful gentleman. Kagura and that gentleman really looked like a perfect couple. He was talkin to some rich guy that seemed to be really interested to what he said. He has pure white long hair, and it was tied into a long braid. He wore a white suit that matched his hair and Kagura.
Kagura went between the rich guy and the elegant looking gentleman. "Excuse me Yokinaru san, I need to talk to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru darling, Inuyasha is here," she said with a smile. The gentleman named Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha and gave him a cold smile. "I thought you would rather go trash the city than come to my birthday, Inuyasha." He said calmly, than he looked at Kagome. "I see you brought Kikyo san with you,"
"Hubby, this is Kagome san. She is not Kikyo, even if she looked like her. She is Inuyasha's new woman," said Kagura with a happy smile. This time both Inuyasha and Kagome almost lost their balance. Inuyasha and Kagome was about to protest together when someone suddenly hugged Inuyasha from the back. Inuyasha and a woman looking man fell onto the floor with Kagome and her wide open mouth. "Oh, Inu-poo, it's been so long since I last hugged you!" said the man happily as he hugged Inuyasha who was struggling to get up, both of them was still on the floor. "Get off me you bustard!" Inuyasha barked as he pushed the woman looking man off him and getting on his feet. "We meet again Inuyasha," said another young man that also has long hair tied into a braid, but they were black. Five more man stood behind him, the woman looking man stood up and went to cling on Inuyasha's arm. Kagura pulled the confused Kagome to one side. "You better stay here young lady because they could get quite crazy sometimes, they are Inuyasha's childhood enemies, except snakotsu who seems to be in love with Inuyasha, and he is a gay. Those boys are the seven brothers, not really brothers but they are one of the biggest and richest gangsters you can find in Tokyo." Kagura explained.
"Sesshomaru darling, let's bring Kagome san here to the guest room to wait until Inuyasha finish his little talk with Bankotsu," Kagura said cheerfully, leading Kagome to the hall. Sesshomaru nodded and followed them. Kagome wanted to protest and stay near to Inuyasha but her mouth just wouldn't open. So all she could do is follow Kagura and give a good first impression.
They reached a quite room where there were two huge black couches and a little table between them. Kagura asked Kagome to sit on the couch while she went to light the fire place. Sesshomaru sat on the couch opposite Kagome and smiled a friendly smile at her, she nervously smiled back. Sesshomaru must be Inuyasha's brother, he has the same golden orbs Inuyasha had, thought Kagome. Kagura sat walked toward them and sat beside Kagome. She looked at Sesshomaru and giggled. "He might look cold and scary but inside, he is just a nice and warm puppy, right Sessy" said Kagura with a happy laugh. Sesshomaru sighed and Kagura laughed again. "He could be quite cold to my brother-in-law sometimes, but that's natural. So don't worry Kagome san,"
"Uh, hai," answered Kagome with a little smile. Kagome isn't really used to talking freely to a stranger. "Would you like some Japanese tea, Kagome san? I have to apologize for addressing you as Kikyo just now," said Sesshomaru with a friendly smile. "Uh, it's okay. Uh, tea would be nice, uh…um..." Kagome couldn't think of what she was suppose to say, her tongue seemed to be tied up. Sesshomaru got up and exited the room. Kagura laughed again. "Don't worry Kagome san, you'll be part of the family soon. You don't have to be that nervous around us," said Kagura with a playful smile. Sesshomaru coughed as he came in with a tray. He put the tray down on the table and poured Kagome a cup of tea. "Thank you," said Kagome as she took the cup of tea. "But to tell you the truth, I'm only Inuyasha's maid. He suddenly asked me to be his maid for no reason," said kagome, she left out the part where she scratched Inuyasha's car because she didn't want them to know.
Sesshomaru shake his head. Kagura laughed again. "What a poor way of getting close to a young lady, Inuyasha is as stubborn as usual. But you are lucky to win Inuyasha's heart, he can be so stubborn sometimes that he wouldn't even want to make friend with a girl or even let one into his house! Kikyo known him since he was a little boy so she has a right to go into his house" said Kagura. Kagome blushed and looked down at the beautiful black kimono she was wearing. Is it really true that Inuyasha actually likes me? Than the Kouga and me thing would really had hurt his heart, thought Kagome with a guilty feeling as she sipped her tea.
Suddenly Inuyasha burst in the room with Snakotsu pulling on his arm. "No! Don't go find that ugly girl, Inu-poo! Let's go dance!" begged Snakotsu. "Let go of me you fool!" Inuyasha screamed angrily. Kagome who was drinking tea choked on it and started coughing. Kagura quickly stood up and pat Kagome's back. "Kagome stop your stupid coughing and get this bastard off me! Do whatever you want with her, Snakotsu! Just leave me alone!" screamed Inuyasha. So much for Inuyasha liking me… thought Kagome in her mind. Sesshomaru got kagome a glass of water and Kagome quickly drank it down. "Thanks, I feel much better now," said Kagome. She walked over to Inuyasha and hit him hard on the head. "Hey, what was that for!" asked Inuyasha angrily. "For offering me to Snakotsu and ask him to do whatever he wants with me," said Kagome, angrily, than she smiled at Snakotsu. "Snakotsu sama, I give you the permission to take Inuyasha and have fun. Inuyasha, be nice to others," ordered Kagome as she gave another hard hit on Inuyasha's head. "What the!" said Inuyasha. "Hey, I like you already. You're nice, better than that Kikyo anyways, thanks for giving me Inuyasha for the night," Said Snakotsu with a smirk before dragging Inuyasha out of the room. "Kagome, how dare you! You bastard, let go of me!" screamed Inuyasha as he was dragged out.
Kagome went back to the couch and sat down. She sighed. "Inuyasha is such a jerk today. And that Snakotsu guy really give me the creeps," said Kagome. Sesshomaru sighed too. "I got to go now, many guest are waiting for me. By the way, You are pretty good at handling Inuyasha. No one ever ordered him around before, except for me and my wife, Kagura. You'll be a great wife for him," said Sesshomaru as he exited the guest room. Kagura smiled. "That's true though. I guess I had to go too. Don't worry, I already have someone to accompany you. My daughter will be here in a minute," said Kagura.
Just as she said that, a girl with shoulder-length black hair came into the guest room. "Kagome, this is Rin. Rin, this is Kagome. You know what to do now, I got ta go meet some friends," said Kagura, she too exited the room. Rin smiled. "Let's go!" she said happily and pulled Kagome out of the room to the crowds.
Rin brought Kagome to the food table to get some food, the dance floor to dance, and even the garden to have a walk. Suddenly, Rin saw three people near a tree and she smiled happily. "Kagome san, I would like you to meet my friends!"
Kagome and Rin went to the three people. There was two person, a young lady and a young man, who was almost Kagome's age, but a little older and a boy that was a bit older than Rin chan. When The boy saw Rin, he grin and ran over to hug Rin. Rin hugged back and laughed happily, when she let go of him, he walked back to Kagome. "Kagome, this is Kohaku, my boyfriend, and this is Sango, his elder sister. This is Miroku, Sango's boyfriend," Rin introduced Kagome to them too. After that, she ran off with Kohaku, leaving Kagome with Sango and Miroku. Three of them went back into the mansion and sat at a bar not far from the main door, which was quite close to the dance floor. After a while of talking, Miroku asked Sango for a dance at the dance floor. So both of them went to the dance floor leaving Kagome all alone at the bar. Sango had insisted that Kagome came with them but Kagome said she was okay at the bar by herself, so Sango and Miroku wasn't evil or something, leaving Kagome all by herself at the bar. Inuyasha was no where to be seen, he was at the ballroom, with Snakotsu.
The last thing Kagome wanted it to happened came when she was alone. Kikyo, a white haired young man (who was a few years older than Kagome), and another elegant and powerful looking man came into the mansion from the main door. Kagome wanted to hide but Kikyo already spotted Kagome. Her face turned to a very unhappy frown. "Why on earth are you here!" snarled Kikyo. "And where is Inuyasha?"
Kagome took a deep breath. "He is with a guy called Snakotsu, and I didn't want to come, Inuyasha made me come," Kagome said calmly. "Ceh, don't blame my Inuyasha, girl. I know you are the one who begged him to bring you!" said Kikyo. "Just try to stay away from him, he is MY fiancé," said Kikyo as she stomped off to the ballroom. Her fiancé? They are engaged? These questions played around in Kagome's mind. The elegant and powerful looking man and the white haired young man were left in front of Kagome. The elegant man had weird curly long hair and evil looking red eyes, while the white haired boy got shoulder length white hair which he let down and a naughty evil smirk, he too have red eyes. "I'm Onigumo Naraku, and I advice you to stay out of my plans and let my daughter get Inuyasha," said the elegant man, he gave a last evil smirk at Kagome and walked off. The white haired boy smirked at her too. "I'm Onigumo Hakudoshi, Naraku's son, actually more like clone. You are?"
"Kagome, Higurashi Kagome," answered Kagome. This young man really gives her the creeps.
"And how are you related to Inuyasha?" he asked.
"I'm his maid, nothing much, so leave me alone," said Kagome angrily.
"No need to get over reacted, Kagome san, would you mind going to the ballroom to dance? Coz I don't dance in these filthy bars," said Hakudoshi.
"I'm with some friends," said Kagome, she was feeling really uneasy.
"It's okay, we can come back later," Hakudoshi offered his hand, and like a spell, Kagome's hand accepted them.
They went to the ballroom and dance. Kagome used to have ballroom dancing lessons so she was quite good in it. They danced and danced, Kagome suddenly felt so peaceful as she dance, her steps seem so swift and she felt so floaty when she swirl. Hakudoshi was the charming kind of person, the really gentle and romantic to ladies kind of guy. So Kagome suddenly felt comfortable with him, as if her problems all went away. She sweared that he had used some spell of some kind to make her accept him so easily.
When they got tired, Hakudoshi brought kagome out to the gardens where they sat by the fountain to rest. He also brought wine for them to drink. Kagome wasn't a drinker and she gets dizzy easily so she didn't want to drink the wine. But she was soo thirsty that she just took it and gulped it down glass by glass. Hakudoshi smirked and drank his too.
Kagome start to get dizzy at her fourth glass of wine. "I need to get back to my friends," she said dizzily. She stood up to walk but all she could do is wobble, Hakudoshi looked at her and tisked-tisked. Kagome tripped on a stone as she wobble and fell. Hakudoshi stood up and caught her in his arms, both of them looked at each other. Hakudoshi smirked again and lean down to kiss kagome passionately.
"No, I told you I don't want to," said Inuyasha. "But, but, my dad is not going home early tonight, he has some friends to party with, and I have to go to school tomorrow so I have to go back home early!" moaned Kikyo. "For the last time I'm not bringing you home! You can just follow your brother's car..." Inuyasha's voice trailed off when he saw something that sliced his heart into two. Inuyasha pulled Kikyo behind a bush and peek at the two people beside the fountain at the garden. Hakudoshi, Kikyo's elder brother was kissing Kagome and worst yet, Kagome was kissing back (she was drunk, she didn't know what she was doing, but Inuyasha didn't know she was drunk). Kikyo smiled evilly at the sight. Inuyasha's heart suddenly went cold, lifeless. The warmness in his heart every time he sees Kagome went in a flash. Inuyasha stood up and slowly walked towards the mansion. "Kikyo, you can follow me back if you want,"
Thip...thop...thip...thop...
Drops of rain start falling down from the sky, than it became a heavy rain. Inuyasha and Kikyo had went into the mansion, so did the other guest, except Kagome and Hakudoshi who was still outside, wet all over. Hakudoshi took off his white coat and cover the unconscious Kagome with it. "Don't worry Kagome san, I'll take you home. I know where your home is, I know everything about you…" whispered Hakudoshi as he took Kagome bridal style to his car.
