Chapter 17:
Kagome grumbled as she scrubbed the kitchen floor. She would show that Inuyasha what clean was. She was going to make this house into a spotless home! She spotted a dirty speck and scrubbed it furiously. She did kind of mind the cleaning. It was tiring but someone had to do it. She could cook, she was a princess taught by the best Japanese culinary chiefs. She had to be an all around gal.
Moving on she somehow vacuumed, dusted, wiped, sprayed, and scrubbed the house until it look spotless. Kagome fell on the couch. She made a memo to herself to honor all the maids at her estate. Exhaustedly she slowly pushed away from the couch. She trudged upstairs and into the clean bathroom. Closing the door slowly, she undressed and stepped into the shower.
Kagome inhaled the fresh scent of her shower gel. She felt revived and energetic. Smiling, she dried her body and stepped out of the shower. Humming all the way into the kitchen after dressing, she got the cooking preparation ready. She opened the refrigerator and frowned. There was nothing in the refrigerator. Nothing! Zip! Nada!
Kagome groaned as she closed the refrigerator door and slumped in the cheap kitchen chair. Now she was going to have to go into town and buy food. She wondered if they had a flea market or if they had little food stands on the street. That would be fun instead of going to a grocery store. With a new ambition Kagome rushed out of the house, locking the door, and down the walkway. She headed straight for the base. Once she got there she asked a few people and got directions to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome ran into Inuyasha who was discussing something with a fellow soldier.
Inuyasha glared at her. Kagome stopped in her tracts and wonder if this was a bad idea.
"What do you want, Kagome? I'm kind of busy here. I'm talking to Colonel Fukao here." He said indicating that this Colonel Fukao was very important.
"I just need some money." Kagome said, ignoring the Colonel and Inuyasha's glare.
"Why?" Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously.
"If you don't want dinner tonight then fine!" Kagome pouted at him. She turned her back and crossed her arms.
"Fine, Fine…" Inuyasha grumbled as he got out his wallet.
"Major, is this your wife?" The colonel asked.
"Uh, yes sir! This is my wife, Kagome." Inuyasha squeezed Kagome's shoulders close to him. They both smiled at the Colonel in a fake way. He laughed heartily.
"Glad to see loving couples now a days. Most of them divorce in a year!" He slapped Inuyasha's back making Inuyasha cough. "Your wife is beautiful Major! Don't let her go!" He chuckled again. He whispered to Kagome. "If he's not good in bed then you can divorce! That's # 1 reason why people divorce!" Then he roared in laughter. Kagome blushed viciously.
"Uh sure…" Kagome muttered and took the money, pecked Inuyasha's cheek, and walked away. Inuyasha stumbled back in surprise. Kagome smiled, if she was to 'pretend' to be his wife, she might as well act like it.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
"Hum hum humm…" Kagome hummed her favorite tune, Final Distance by Hikaru Utada, as she stirred her stew. The aroma of the food filled her nose. She chopped up the vegetables and threw them into the pan she had perpetrated already.
"Hello?" Inuyasha called as he unlocked the door. A warm aroma penetrated his nose once we walked in. He walked into the living room but stopped dead in his tracts. He looked around the whole house. IT WAS CLEAN! Whoa…
"Kagome!" Inuyasha ran into the kitchen to find Kagome busy at the stove, running to the counter, sink, refrigerator, and back to the stove. He could see she was busy.
"Oh, hi Inu! I'm cooking right now." She said as she ran into the pantry to get some spices.
"I can see that…" Inuyasha said, sweat dropping from behind his head.
"Yeah, I cleaned the house and I washed your clothes. I also ironed them. Um, sorry about your shirt."
"Why?" Inuyasha asked as he stole a piece of meat from one of the plates.
"Because I burnt it." She smacked his hand away from the plates. "Get away. No eating until I finish."
"You burnt my shirt?!?" Inuyasha cried as he licked his hand that had a sweet sticky substance on it from Kagome's dish.
Kagome automatically pointed at Inuyasha's favorite shirt on the couch. Inuyasha lifted it up. It had a huge hole in it, shaped like an iron.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
"muhp.. umm... verish gosshd!!" Inuyasha said with his mouth full. He grabbed more of the little round balls and placed them into his mouth with his chopsticks. He ate and ate until he couldn't breathe anymore. Kagome just watched him with anticipation.
"So... what do you think?" Kagome asked eagerly.
"I've had better." Inuyasha said, wiping his mouth. He eyed one more piece on the plate and picked it up and placed in his mouth. Kagome's face dropped.
"You've had better?" Kagome asked. "Was it good?"
"It was ok." Inuyasha said. "Dessert?" He asked impatiently.
"Oh yeah…." Kagome took out a pineapple upside down cake form the refrigerator. "Here." She placed it in front of Inuyasha who dug into it the second Kagome took her hand away.
"You know, if I didn't know better I think you like me cooking." Kagome said slyly. "But since its 'ok' I guess I'll just buy dinner from the stands from now on." She smirked at Inuyasha, looking at him for an answer.
"No, no need for that. Your cooking is fine." Inuyasha said in between bites of pineapple.
"Then admit it!!!" Kagome demanded. "I'm not a spoiled brat!!!"
"Uh... you're a spoiled brat." Inuyasha said, taking another bite of her cake.
"Then I'll feed these to the dog. Wouldn't want you to eat 'spoiled food'!!!" Kagome snatched the cake away from Inuyasha.
"NO!! YOU'RE not a spoiled brat!!!" Inuyasha cried. He greedily took the cake back into his arms and ate the rest of it.
"Thank you." Kagome smirked and skipped into the living room and up the stairs.
"Yeah… Yeah… just because you can cook doesn't mean you're not a spoiled little princess." Inuyasha growled.
"I heard that!" Kagome hollered from upstairs.

Kikyou sighed as sat in her large hotel room. She had been captive inside this American hotel for weeks. She never went out or anything. She was lonely. She only had her body guards as company but they were always out getting something for her or investigating and determining if it was safe. Kikyou missed her sister. She missed her father. But most importantly she missed Naraku. She and he were having a secret relationship. At nights they would get together and have a romantic walk through the city park. Kikyou sighed. She ached inside to see Naraku once more. He would tell her how much he loved her and kiss her neck and ears. Trailing little kisses around her mouth, he would hug her close to him. A tear fell from her cheek. She wanted him so badly. She then made up her mind. She placed a trendy hat and shades on. Applying dark markup and changing her clothes, Kikyou slipped out of her room unnoticed. Walking out into the public, Kikyou walked past the bustle of New York City. She came to the nearest pay phone, dialing the number quickly she waited for an answer. Each ring made her even more paranoid and jumpy.
"Hello." A smooth voice came from the other end of the line.
"Naraku?" Kikyou quavered into the phone.
"Kikyou?" Naraku asked. "Kikyou, babe I missed you soo much."
"Naraku! I missed you soo much!!!" Kikyou cried into phone. "I'm so scared." She whispered hoarsely.
"Babe, I miss you to." He said. "I know your scared buy hang in there. Maybe I can come see you. Where are you?"
"I'm in…"
"Princess!!!" Kikyou turned to see her body guard, James towering over her. Kikyou automatically hung the phone up. "You can't leave the hotel! You could be in danger right now. Who were you calling?" He asked her.
"I was just calling home." Kikyou brushed off James's glare. She walked past him but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into an alley.
"You can't do things like that!" He cried. His deep hazel eyes penetrated into her. He was half white and half Japanese with light brown hair that was messy. His rugged look made him gorgeous and free. "You are in danger. You cannot risk anything." He pinned her to the wall. Kikyou shrugged him off.
"Yes, I know." She hung her head low that James couldn't see her eyes. Kikyou looked up into the sky that was barely seen for the towering skyscrapers covered the sky. She held back tears. "I-" She started out shakily. "I want to go back now." She said quietly. She and James headed out for the Hotel.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
"Kikyou?" Naraku waited for an answer. "Kikyou!" He said again, a little louder. "KIKYOU!" No answer.
"DAMN IT!!!" Naraku yelled as he threw his cell phone against the wall. The stupid bitch hung up on him. Naraku growled as he sat down.
"Sweets are you ok?" A pretty petite blonde popped into the room. She stood held a bed sheet to her body as she approached Naraku.
"Yeah I was just talking business." Naraku said, pouring some wine into the glass.
"Oh ok." The girl said perkily. She hopped onto Naraku's lap, and kissed Naraku's ears. He growled in reaction and grabbed the girl forcefully. She giggled girlishly and whispered things in his ear that Kikyou would not be happy with.
That naïve princess was good, but soon he would have to get rid of her. It was either that or marry her for the power of Japan. It could work… Kikyou was crazy for him.
