crimsonwhispers: Thankies for reviewing chapter four. O.o Ya know, you just might be right, we might be twins.
Sniff, sniff. I feel so proud of myself. This is my one successful story. I actually have more fun reading other people's works then working on mine.
Okies dokies, a super mega short summary:
Sango goes to work on Wednesday and happens to find a chat room left on by a customer and the topic was: How do you find forgiveness in someone that right-hooked you in the face? Sound familiar. It should. (Unless, you got Alzheimer's or something like that…) It turned out the person that started the topic was Flarenii and she was using the computer right across from Sango. Flarenii questioned Sango as to who Miroku was, but before Sango answered Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippo walked in to invite her to a linner. (Lunch + Dinner) Flarenii ran into the middle of the street and mysteriously poofed just as a truck was about to run her over. When they arrived at the fancy restaurant, it shocked Sango to see who the waiter was: Itachio.
Big Q: (shakes head) She is such a hypocrite. Last chapter she gave a summary that was so short it didn't count as a summary, and this chapter she said it was going to a 'super mega short' summary and she gave a huge one.
Big Q: Oh, yes, since the author is currently out cold (takes one moment to look at drooling and sleep talking corpse) I'll make an announcement. Last chapter was originally named "Waiter", but since the waiter wasn't exactly in the chapter until the end, the author changed it to "Coupon" since it was focused on Kagome's discount coupon. (listens to someone behind stage) What? I'm blabbing. Oh, sorry, on with the story!
Chapter 6: Dark Horizon
"Hello there, you beautiful ladies and not-so-beautiful germs. Welcome to our beyond fancy restaurant, Dark Horizon. May I be of any assistance?" A silk, smooth voice said.
The figure did a bow and as soon as he looked up with that same Prince Charming on his face, Sango gasped.
That face was just like Itachio's.
"What the-…Hey, what the hell was that supposed to mean!" Inuyasha shouted.
Kagome latched on his arm. "Calm down, Inuyasha." Wouldn't want to get kicked out of a fancy-ass restaurant when you got a 20 percent discount coupon, now would you?
The Itachio-look-alike stood up straight, Sango noticed that the Itachio she knew was shorter than he was. He smiled. "It would be queer wouldn't it if I said beautiful gentlemen, wouldn't it?" Seeing Inuyasha pissed off must have been amusing since his smile read, "Ha! You're such an ass!"
He must have noticed the look of shock and recognition on Sango's features because he gave his Prince Charming smile and took a hand in his (A/N: This guy has a thing for smiling.) "Can I help you, miss?"
Sango was shocked. This guy…t-this guy was…Her first instinct was to slap him, well, that was what she normally did to Miroku, but…Miroku... She shook her head mentally. Maybe a punch? Wait, that was what she did when she right-hooked Itachio. So what should she do? The first thing she did was draw her hand back quickly. "Don't touch me!" She hissed. "I didn't just forget what happened at the park last week, so don't assume that I have forgiven you."
Inuyasha and Kagome look at each other confused while Shippo's eyebrows were written with worry. Did something go wrong on her blind date last week?
"What do you think Sango's talking about?" Kagome whispered.
"How the hell am I supposed to know? But she looks like she knows this bastard." Inuyasha said, loud enough for the waiter to hear.
"Shh!"
He didn't seem to hear, either that or he was plain ignoring Inuyasha's bad-ass idioticness. He threw on a confused and slightly hurt expression, when you're a Prince Charming that has girls flocking to you and a certain lady pushed you away, you'd feel that way. "I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. Have we met?"
Sango was beyond surprise, it was 102 percent shock. Why was he pretending that he didn't know her? Sango knew what Itachio looked like and they had spent a date together, if you count that as an actual date, but then Sango realized that there was something else different about this guy from Itachio other than the height difference. Up close, you notice that his eyes are gray, not like Itachio's silver, (A/N: Wow, huge difference. Sango musta taken some time remembering Itachio's eyecolor. Sango: I do not!) not to mention that his hair was a little longer nearly his shoulder, but combed in a more elegant style. He had it partly gelled back with a few bangs hanging over his eyes creating the to-die-for-so-handsomely-sexy-Prince-Charming look. The most noticeable thing was his…NAMETAG: Hiroshima Jaamaru
While Sango was ogling at the stranger, Kagome cleared her throat as if to tell the waiter that the rest of the world existed. "Excuse me?"
Itachio-look-alike turned his attention back to Kagome. "Yes, can I help you?"
"Hey, asshole, quick doddling and get us a table for four. ." Inuyasha growled, still ticked off at being called a "not-so-beautiful germ". Not saying that he was beautiful or anything, but whenever he looks in his mirror, Inuyasha finds that he's rather decent looking.
"Ah, yes. Of course." He gave a sparkling smile to Kagome, who blushed, which caused Inuyasha to send a ray of jealous rays and was about to jump the waiter for stealing his girl. However, Kagome was still latched to his arm, and when Hiroshima was leading them to their tables, Kagome followed, dragging Inuyasha with her.
Sango stood where she was. Wait, that nametag said he was Hiroshima Jaamaru. It could mean that he and Itachio are from the same family, but they looked exactly alike aside from the minor differences. Shippo noticed his older friend's lost-in-thoughtness and tugged her shirt sleeve. "Sango, are you okay?"
No answer.
Shippo sighed worriedly before asking quietly, "What happened on your blind date, Sango?"
Sango hesitated whether or not to tell him about the incident. After all, he was still a child, he wouldn't understand her feelings about Miroku. Sure he knows that they were in love, but it runs deeper than that. (A/N: Not saying that they did it or anything.) Itachio had called Miroku and old lover, but there never was any other man but Miroku! Forcing a smile, I mean really forcing, Sango walked towards the table. "Nothing happened."
Shippo followed her, not convinced at all. After all with that show he just witnessed, there had to be something more. And he wasn't as naïve as they made him out to be.
Hiroshima had brought them to a nice table at a window facing the lovely lawn. You could almost see his Prince Charmingness sparkling around him. Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "Who does that fucken bastard think he is?"
"Calm down, Inuyasha!" Kagome said with a hint of irritation in her voice. Why does he always get so…so…jerk-like whenever some other guy says something to make her blush?
Hiroshima pulled out a chair and smiled. "Please take a seat, my lady."
"Why, thank you." Kagome said, taking a seat. (A/N: No, she ain't sluttingly flirting, Inuyasha. She's just being polite, something that you can't be with in the same sentence.)
"What!" Inuyasha was shocked at the way that that slimy, slicked-haired bastard was specially treating Kagome.
Shippo, who had forgotten his worryness for a moment, was at awe. "Wow, my lady. This restaurant must really be fancy."
"No, it's more like rubbing fanciness on the noses of pretty girls." Sango said rather coldly pulling out a chair herself next to Shippo.
The Prince Charming waiter's smile evaporated slightly when Sango ignored his offer for his her to take a seat in a chair he had pulled out. However, that didn't stop his flirtatious manner. Bending over slightly next to Sango, he asked softly, "Well, dear lady, anything to drink?"
Sango ignored him with a huff and turned to face Shippo.
Kagome, still captivated in OMG-he's-so-charming, replied. "I'll take a Coke." rather dreamily.
"Coke." Inuyasha said gruffly, leaning back in his chair with his feet crossed on the table.
"Orange juice!"
Hiroshima nodded and scribbled it on a check book. "And you?"
Sango, still not looking at him, replied rather blandly, "Water."
"I'll leave you to take a look at the menu for a moment while I fetch your drinks." Hiroshima said with a charming smile before weaving his way around the clusters of other tables.(A/N: This guy uses the word "charming" way too much to describe himself…)
No sooner did he leave when another voice reached the group's ears. "Well, well, I certainly didn't expect you to be here, Inuyasha. One would think you could barely afford McDonalds." A cold voice reached their ears.
Inuyasha fell backwards from his chair and when he got back up, he saw the last person he wanted to see in the world. "Sesshomaru." His golden eyes seething with, "I fucken hate you, you ass-headed bastard!"
But, the older Taiyoukai wasn't alone, with him was a cheerful little girl with black hair that had to be around eight or ten years old, Sesshomaru's bastardly butler Jaken ("Little slime-toed bastard…"-Kikyo), and a woman that looked around Kikyo's age with raven-black hair and piercing blood red/pink eyes. (A/N: In my opinion it looks pink. Does it look pink to you?)
"Ah, Inuyasha…" Kagome (about time she snapped outta it) said softly, not wanting him to start a fight with Sesshomaru in a fancy restaurant filled with people.
Too late, he exploded. "What the hell was that supposed to mean! And why the hell are you here anyways? Out on a date with your new girlfriend?" He said, indicating the woman with the red eyes with a jerk of his head in her direction.
"I'll have you know that Master Sesshomaru is her to discuss important matters with his associate, if it's any of your business which it's not!" Jaken said, glaring up at Inuyasha.
"Keh!" Inuyasha replied.
Sango, Kagome, and Shippo stayed quiet watching the argument. As far as they were concerned, Inuyasha won't think twice to start a fight with Sesshomaru here. However, as of late, the two brother's relationship has gotten mildly better. Meaning instead of fighting each other when they meet, they attack each other with insults.
While the two glared at each other for a minute, Sesshomaru's waiter, a spikey-haired blond with golden eyes like Inuyasha rolled his eyes and tapped his foot audibly.
"How long are we going to stand here, I'm in a hurry." The raven-haired woman said, impatiently.
"What I was going to say." The blond man said. His nametag read: Hiroshi. "If I may, sir, lead you to your private room?" You could tell he was saying this with forced politeness. Hey, anything for a big tip.
After glaring at Inuyasha without blinking as much as a normal human would, Sesshomaru walked towards a separate room. "Let's go, Jaken."
"Yes, sir!" The short man stated and marched after him, the red-eyed woman rolled her eyes and followed.
"Bye-bye!" The little girl waved and followed after Hiroshi, who was staring at Kagura's chest unnecessarily.
Inuyasha was still seething in his seat by the time Hiroshima came back with their drinks. "Something the matter, sir?"
Seeing as Inuyasha was ignoring everybody, Kagome quickly shook her head. "No, nothings wrong!" She said, laughing nervously. "Eh…we'd like to order now."
"Ah, yes." After setting the drinks down in front of their respective owners, Hiroshima pulled out his check book.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Sango said promptly, getting up.
"Eh, miss, what about your…" Hiroshima broke off.
Kagome smiled, looked like Sango needed some time alone. "She'll take whatever your salad special is today."
While the others were ordering, Shippo can't help but think that he was definitely right about Sango's blind date going down to hell. The youngster hopped out of his chair and ran after Sango, nearly tripping a black-haired girl who was carrying a stack of dirty dishes. "I need to go too!"
In truth, Sango had no idea where the bathroom was. All she saw was tables, tables, and a few doors leading to the kitchen. She spotted what looked like the blond waiter from before and tapped his shoulder.
The person turned around, but he was someone else, his eyes were sparkling blue and now that Sango looked at him, he was a bit shorter and younger too. What is it with this restaurant and people looking the same! "Yeah, can I help you?"
"I'm looking for the restroom." Sango said.
"Oh, over there next to that ugly painting of that stupid ship. See?" The teen pointed out the painting.
Muttering a quick thank-you, Sango turned to leave when she heard a voice. "Sango, wait!"
Shippo bounded up to her. "I'm coming with you too!"
Next to the stupid painting the teen had showed her was a doorway leading down a dim hall and at the end of the hall was a sign that said: Customer Restrooms. Definitely more classier than Flarenii's restaurant. Great, why was she thinking of that now?
Near the end of the hall, Sango froze and Shippo bumped right into her. "Ouch! Why'd you stop, Sango?"
She heard voices, and they sounded like they were getting nearer. What was worse was that it sounded like two Itachio's conversing. Sango couldn't find herself to walk and instead listened.
"…and so she looked livid."
"…"
"Why the face? She's bound to still be mad. I mean, after all, she did right-hook you in the face, didn't she?" The first voice laughed.
"She just slapped me, okay."
"That's not what Flarenii told me."
" Yeah, well, she just sprouts shit."
"Hmm…I don't think so. Maybe she-"
Hiroshima stopped talking when his brother froze and stared in front of him. He turned and saw Sango's and Shippo's surprised faces, while they saw two Itachios, one taller than the other, in front of them.
This Itachio was definitely the asshole that she had right-hooked a week ago.
"You know him/her?" Hiroshima and Shippo asked at the same time.
"Yes/No." Itachio and Sango answered.
After a few moments of silence, Sango walked between both men roughly and headed to the ladies room.
The three stared at each other in silence until disaster struck. The front doors were kicked open and the tye-dye wonder, Flarenii hollered at the top of her lungs, "ITACHIO! I KNOW WHERE THAT CHICK WORKS AT!"
"You had Flarenii stalking her?"
"No…"
"Don't lie."
"Yes."
"You two are idiots."
"We know."
