Chapter 2: The Festival
InuYasha's p.o.v.
Inside his deep blue room Miroku sits across from me with his hand holding his head.
"So… you really don't think you'll ever love her? What a pity to waste a chance to find true love. Unlike you I have found mine! " Miroku gloats.
"Does she know?"
He frowns and has a piece of sweat drop from his forehead.
"Do tell me about this imposter then. Surly you must have found her charming. I myself have already asked the dear sweet Kagome to bear my children. However she refused."
"You did what?" I growl.
"Oh don't worry InuYasha I ask every young lady that… except for the young lady Sango. But I shall soon, so no need to fret."
Kagome's p.o.v.
At her house.
In my pink room Kikyo sits by my side.
"How can you agree to such a thing? Your parents are way out of line here. And especially why him? He has to be one of the most insensitive jerks around! How can you even stand him? Ugg!" I Fume.
"Really Kagome, it's not that bad. InuYasha is really an okay guy. I'm sure that once you get to know him you'll see what a good guy he is."
"Get to know him! I don't even want to see him!"
"Well you may have to with him being my fiancé and our sponsor."
"Yeah, what was with that whole I'll be their sponsor thing?" I rant in a mocking voice. "And did you see how he walked around the place like he owned it? Making suggestions her and there. Uck!"
Ding Dong.
"Ugg, I'll go get that," I moan. Dragging my feet down the stairs I finally make it to the door. As I open t I see these two beautiful golden eyes, long gorgeous sliver hair, some of the cutest doggie ears I've ever seen… and the MOST DESPICIABLE FACE I'LL EVER SEE! "What on Earth are YOU doing here?"
"Save it, "he starts, "I'm just here to pick up Kikyo. So don't flatter yourself."
"Why would you come over here, to MY house, to pick up Kikyo?"
"Oh sorry, Kagome. When you and I made plans to hang out here today I just gave InuYasha this address to pick me up at."
"What?"
"You do remember when I said that I had to go to my grandparents' house right?"
"Uh, yeah… sure. Have fun Kikyo. I guess I'll see you when you come back. By the way when is that day?"
"In about two and a half weeks. Don't worry thought, you won't be lonely. InuYasha will be here, and you tow can work on the restaurant while I'm gone. It'll be a chance for you to get to know each other. Have fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new and improve restaurant. Bye"
As the door slowly closes I wonder how she could leave me to face that jerk alone. Ugg, this is going to be a long two and a half weeks.
InuYasha's p.o.v.
In the car.
'Dam, I wish she'd stop talking.'
"When we were in the restaurant why did you say you were our sponsor?"
Remember back to that day in the restaurant, I have no idea why I said I'd be their sponsor. I just know that when that one suit put his hand on the imposter, and spoke to her like that, something in me just snapped. It was like this weird thing inside of me needed to protect her. I've never had that feeling before. And then back kin my room when Miroku had said he had asked the imposter to bear his children the same thing happened- only this time I felt like I had been betrayed.
Kikyo is starring at me now, waiting for an answer.
"What's it to you," is all I manage. With that she lets it go and gazes out the window.
At last we arrive at her grandparents' house. As she leaves I'm left to wonder why I said I was their sponsor.
Somehow on this long stupid trip, I go from wondering about why the hell I said I was their sponsors to what will it take to get the restaurant going and recognized. And that's how I got here- on this stupid podium talking to the gossip finding press about my kick ass idea about…
"InuYasha why did you call this press meeting?" asks one of the reporters.
Another one asks, "InuYasha, is it true that your father has you engaged to some nobody waitress so he can build a casino?"
'What he never told me about that.'
"Alright! Stop your questioning; I'll tell you. Okay I'm this sponsor for a new awesome restaurant called Fate. You see we're going to have these two great festivals- one for other investors, and one fore the people.
For the investors well have lots of ingredients and they'll get to watch us cook for them, check out the restaurant, and see the various events we'll have going on.
For the people we'll have very similar events, but they'll also be some contests, like dancing.
Other events for the festival will come. It'll be a very fun and special event for everyone. So I hope I'll see you all there." I finish as I turn my back on those losers, and walk away. Now I just have to tell the imposter.
Ding Dong.
'What is taking so long? How hard is it to open a door? One, two, three, four, and five…" I count tapping my watch. Six, seven, eight, nine, TEN! Finally she opens the door! Why is she looking at me like that? It's like she's never seen anyone at her door before.
"What took you so long?" I spit out.
"What! I came as soon as I heard the doorbell ring!" she yells back. "You know you've got some nerve coming to MY house just to bug me!"
"What! I didn't come here to bug you! I came over here to tell you a great idea I had for the restaurant!"
She blinks stupidly, then smiles and says, "Oh really, lets' hear it."
As I tell her my awesome idea she goes from peaceful to angry. "Why the hell are you getting angry, stupid imposter," I mumble the last two words.
"First of all you may be our sponsor, but that doesn't give you the right to make big decisions for us! I'm the owner! Two- my name is KAGOME! KA-GO-ME! She huffs giving me reason to look stupid while blinking.
As I turn around and walk out the door I holler, "Kagome…HA, I like the name imposter better!"
"As I continue to walk away I hear her call out, "JERK!" and slam the door shut.
