Thank you Chapter 26 Reviewers!
OrihimeKurosakiInoue – Thank you love! And…right. It's nice to talk to people but it is awkward when you know you have something important to say but…cant for one reason or another. And I know it's so funny to hear everyone's different feedback when I switch up couple scenes and test the waters. I don't know who's stronger sess/kag fans or inu/kags fans. I'm almost afraid to put anyone with anybody…almost. Read you later!
Nyght Elf – All my love, prayers, and best wishes to David. I hope he is doing better.
I'm not sure about the length anymore. It honestly depends on work and time. I originally wrote this with it being 35 chapters long total. I pre-write all my fanfics before publishing the first chapter onto the site. But as I go back and do the cleanup, detailing, etc…more scenes and more information gets added. Then I think of things that I missed and side character stories I neglected so that increases the story length as well. I hope to not reach 100 chapters and over because I honestly don't think I'll be able to complete it if it gets so long. So you're about to see a major push forward in this story and lots more updates. I want to finish this fan fic by my birthday.
And I would LOVE to read your work! Let me know which one you want me to take a look at! Hope I can help!
MysticSea88 – Thank you for your review. I should fix that now. I've been putting it off for the longest.
NarukoSon – Thank you so much! Our side couples are so fun to write. Hope you enjoy this next chapter!
KagomeLove2 – Right. But Kaguya may be on to something….
alucardgal – Here you go! Enjoy!
Madam Fluffy – Right! Nobody asked that question! What would happen if Kimi found out that Shiori was dating Shippo? Or her family? Or anyone. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Youkai55 - So many questions and even more about to be raised! Thank you love for your review!

Chapter 27: A Glass of Wine
The day felt so odd. It felt oddly empty. Everything was happening but nothing seemed to matter around her. Kagome held onto Rin's hand as they walked to her restaurant from their cozy apartment. Their boots beat against the pavement as they walked enjoying the breeze that announced the arrival of fall in Paris. Kagome embraced it thinking it would do wonders for her skin. She hadn't gotten much sleep at all over the course of the last two nights. Everything from the past that she thought could stay buried seemed to come up like weeds. She was always praised for her poise and her ability to hold things together. Yet this week was proving that there were cracks in her armor.
Kagome reached for her cellphone in her purse and noted she had just a few additional texts or calls. She sent Inuyasha a message after his departure but he didn't respond back which was upsetting. But then he did call her and tell her about the doctor that was coming to see Rin. She didn't know what was happening with him lately or why he reacted the way he did. He just rushed off and she knew with his hearing he had to have heard her call out his name. Kikyo said she didn't know anything but she doubted that. Kikyo always knew things even things no one was supposed to know. She was good at that. But Inuyasha came back to drop her off at home and everything was fine. So she thought…
Kagome stopped to allow Rin to pick a flower she saw along the way. She was reminded of Sesshomaru who vanished right with his brother. She had received his messages about their menus but nothing else. That was a man that infuriated her and yet brought much sense into her life. One minute he could be the most arrogant and insulting creature on the planet. Next he could be a treasure trove of information and showing great care in Rin's development. Now though, he was absent. And the loss was felt. Kagome waited patiently until Rin came back to her and reached for her hand again. She held the flower up and Kagome bent down allowing her to place it in her hair. Kagome's aura pushed affectionately onto Rin expressing her joy for her gift and Rin smiled brightly. They held hands and continued towards the crosswalk.
Kagome took in a deep breath as they waited at the corner for cars to pass. She looked down and smiled at a happy Rin looking everywhere at all the commotion. Rin was carrying her cactus to be taken to Jinenji's flower shop for a check-up. She looked so cute carrying the odd plant close to her like a pet gold fish. Rin had told her the plant had a fever and needed to see the doctor. Then she proceeded to tell her that it was because he didn't have any friends. Kagome already prepared herself for another plant to be joining their window sill that day.
"While we are here, we can get Aunt Yoyo flowers." She said as Rin nodded her head in agreement. Her feet started moving showing how ready she was to go to the shop. Kagome smiled before looking up again and finding the road to be safe for passage. They walked across the street together and bounded for the park to cut through as always. Kagome held onto Rin's hand and rubbed the back of her fingers. There was still so much to do and yet time seemed to be flying by. Rin had appointments coming up with the American hanyou behaviorist who was flying all the way here to meet them in person and see to Rin's development. She didn't want to communicate prior to their meeting explaining that she wanted to first see for herself what Rin was doing in the environment that she was in. Kagome sighed hoping that finally all her questions would be answered regarding Rin's growth. Then there was her family.
Kagome turned a corner to cut through the park that would lead them towards her restaurant. She adjusted her purse on her arm with an uncomfortable expression. She called her brother to hopefully reach him but as always she was greeted with the sound of his voice machine. She left him a message and explained Kikyo's condition without giving too much as to why she was in there just in case he didn't know everything. To her surprise, she received a text back from him with a simple, 'I know'. This infuriated her a bit.
How did he know?
What did he know?
Was he talking to Kikyo every day?
If so why didn't he tell her?
What did he think?
What was he doing now?
Kagome knew nothing about his Souta's life and yet he seemed to know everything about Kikyo's. She wanted to ask if she had spoken to him but she didn't want there to be conflict when she had just gotten back part of her family. Kikyo seemed so different and yet there were flickers of her personality that still remained the same. Her sarcasm and dark humor was forever ingrained into her DNA. Being with her in the hospital reminded her of the many times when they were teenagers, laughing about any and everything that had happened that day. She wanted those good times back with her family. But part of her was scared to allow that fully back into her life. Truth be told she wasn't sure she could trust things to be like they were before.
She felt the cold chill in the air upon her departure. She would have liked to think she had connected with her sister but, she knew better. Several times she could feel the taste of the questions she really wanted to ask sit on her tongue but the time and the place wasn't the best for it. She didn't want to use Kikyo's hospitalization as the battle grounds for their family drama. The pain and sadness was in her belly and it wanted out. She wanted her family back but at what cost? She had sacrificed quite enough and did what she had to do to keep the rest from going up into flames. But she couldn't deny the hurt she felt to think that her siblings had this conversation together and Souta has decided that regardless of whatever he was going through…he didn't want her in his life. That he would rather resort to two word texts and voicemails than to hear her voice.
Kagome stopped at the corner out of the park watching for safety concerns before crossing. Rin's aura was vibrant and connecting to hers in a constant array of vibrant colors changing all the time. She seemed to glow the closer they came to her restaurant. She wondered if Rin could pick up who was inside at the distance that they were and decided to turn it into a game. Rin's nose could detect anyone these days. After spending her time with the royal Inus, Kagome thought maybe Rin had confused herself and thinks that she was one of them.
Kagome signed to her and spoke at the same time what she wanted to know. Rin happily yipped and signed everyone's name that she could smell. She was surprised at what Rin was telling her and doubted the accuracy of her nose. There was no way so many people could be inside. Kagome reached the door and it swung open with Miroku and Myoga ready to greet her and take her coat and purse. Her eyes grew wide to see the tables pushed together to make extra space and the room was filled with everyone. Rin walked carefully holding her prize in her hands and set it on the table next to Sango. Sango opened her arms and Rin filled them. Kagome walked around greeting everyone in shock that they showed up so early.
"Miroku…I thought this was going to be just us two this morning." Kagome said as she was kissed on the cheek by Sango.
Miroku hung up her coat and shrugged his shoulders. "Everyone cares about you and this place…so everyone wanted to help out."
"We heard about what's going on." Bankotsu said dressed in his black biker jacket and jeans. His long braid was tossed over his shoulder as he took out the toothpick from his mouth. "We figured all hands on deck with everything on your plate."
"It is our duty to help you." Myoga piqued in and blushing as Kagome moved to kiss him on his big cheeks. He coughed and crossed his fingers over the table.
A dark skinned woman with vibrant green eyes sat next to Bankotsu dressed in a pretty white shirt and a wide lilac dress. Gold bangles lines her left wrist and sung as she stood from her chair. Kagome walked over and greeted her excitedly knowing who it was. "Esmerelda! What on earth!"
"So this was the surprise." Bankotsu said watching the two hug tightly.
"But of course!" Esmerelda said with delight in English with a very heavy French accent. Bankotsu wasn't exactly fluent just yet except for kitchen phrases. "I was told you guys may need additional hands." She explained air kissing Kagome on both cheeks. "I'm just a chocolatier but I can help however you need."
"You don't need to do this." She responded. "But we would be happy to work with you." Kagome let Esmerelda go watching her sit back down next to Bank who wrapped his arm around her protectively. Esmerelda laughed at his glare that he through at Myoga warningly.
The morning had been filled with surprise and greetings from everyone. Sango and the twins already knew Esmerelda well and so he had taken the time to introduce her finally to everyone else. Quite pleasantly, everyone was very kind and open with her. Nothing was strange or odd and even Myoga couldn't find anything negative to say about the young woman. Instead, he turned his attentions into letting her know what a "ruffian" Bankotsu was and how grateful he should be that a lovely woman of her statue would grace him with her daily presence.
Shippo walked from the kitchen to the table with the twins holding a plate of fresh fruit filled crepes looking rather rumpled yet happy. He set the big bowl down and turned to go back into the kitchen when a hand grabbed his.
"Shippo!" Kagome said in shock at seeing him so early for once. "How did you get here! It's so early! Don't you have class today at 8:00! Oh no!" She completely neglected his training during all the stuff happening in her life and in her kitchen. She meant it when she said she wanted him to succeed and she wouldn't let him down. She wanted him to thrive and he was such a hard worker. He deserved everything she could give him. She looked at her watch on her wrist and nodded. "We can get you there in ten minutes using the company van." She said almost pulling him towards the door.
Shippo laughed and stopped her. "It's fine, Kagome. My class is this evening today. I managed to swap my lesson for a makeup session." He explained pulling her delicately back towards the table. His tall statue dwarfed her as he passed her along.
"But you are never up this early! It's hard to even get you awake if you can sleep in! Why?" She asked looking at him curiously.
"That's' what we liked to know." Miroku said leaning over the table to look at the young demon standing looking bright and chipper. Watching how Shippo carried himself and walked around almost in daze that early morning spoke volumes. Miroku knew of course what had gotten into him. Well…what he had gotten into. Miroku knew the expression very well. It also didn't go unnoticed that his normal hour and a half commute to work was cut down into minutes. "Tell us Shippo. What has inspired you so?" He asked leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head.
Shippo sighed hiding his blush very well and moved to head back towards the kitchen to help get the rest of the things. "Nothing." He spat out quickly trying not to give the finger to the monk. "Just I wanted to help too and luckily Sango called me ahead of time so I could get here. Also, I've been practicing on my own for my upcoming test. Besides Miroku and everyone has been giving me good pointers."
"He takes his exam in three months!" Jac announced coming out of the kitchen holding a plate of fresh eggs and bacon. Everyone beat the table and clapped with excitement for the young chef.
Shippo face palmed feeling embarrassed. He already felt enough stress as it was. "You guys….I still got a lot of work to do."
"You are going to be an exceptional chef young Shippo." Myoga spoke up moving to Kagome's empty chair and pulling it out for her. "You are already showing far more potential than this cretin." He said motioning towards Miroku. "I'm surprised we keep getting customers. If only they knew who worked behind the counters." He sighed.
Miroku feigned hurt and sat up in his seat trying to look refined. "I have you know, I have a lovely reputation."
"Says his Instagram." Jac threw out there before smirking and walking back towards the kitchen to get the rest. He motioned for Shippo to take a seat but the poor boy was just looking for a way out.
"Besides, Shippo and I do share a lot in common these days." Miroku smirked and looked at Shippo who looked as if he wished the floor underneath Miroku would swallow him whole. "Isn't that right, Shippo." Sango elbowed him and faked an accident as she passed Rin to him for a greeting.
Sango glared at Miroku before cutting in to save Shippo from Miroku's jest. She had her own conclusions about Shippo's recent happiness. Plus the way Miroku was teasing the boy, she knew a girl was involved. She felt so much joy for Shippo if her conclusions were correct. The boy needed a break in his life. "Mark your calendars everybody. Shippo is coming up in the chef world!" She praised.
"I'll come by during your prep times Shippo to give you further instruction and to help you in whatever techniques you need refinement. Your sauces and soups are amazing so make sure to play to your strengths. You got this and we are going to all be there when you take that test." Kagome said while sitting down in her seat. Myoga pushed in her chair and went to his own next to Bankotsu.
Kagome looked about to see several chairs empty and so they conversed some more at the table. The door rang and she turned as Miroku got up to open the door. She looked curiously until she saw Kaede and Totosai walk in looking rather cute and creating marriage goals for everyone in the room. Totosai walked in while escorting Kaede on his arm. He took off his hat in greeting and everyone quickly greeted them. Kagome stood up to greet them and Rin was already out of her seat attempting to climb up Totosai's black pants legs. "I didn't know you two were coming! How!"
"We were told you needed help by Miroku." Kaede answered as her chair was pulled for her. Totosai sat next to Myoga while holding out his cane for Rin to play with. "Don't give her that! She could hurt herself!" She chastised the old demon blacksmith.
Totosai looked confused at his wife yet continued to let Rin hold his cane which was secretly a weapon and his tool used to make his infamous sword. "You said something, dear." He asked scratching his bald head as everyone at the table sweat dropped no longer sure if their marriage was one they wanted to emulate anymore.
The two twins Botan and Momiji bounded into the room placing down their dishes with Jac coming out with a cart pushing plates, bowls, silverware, and more food. Everyone helped out passing over things while Kagome dug into her purse and took out her documents, notepad, cell, and pens. Miroku sat at her side and had his notes ready as well while food and plates were prepared. Kagome sat for a moment to look around the room at the people around her. Breakfast was hot and served on the table. Delicious smells filled the room bringing everyone to the table. Sango was already filling out a plate for Rin who signed what she wanted. Sango was happily speaking and doing her best to sign back to her with the little knowledge she had. The twins showed their freshly baked honeyed croissants. She smiled hoping that Shippo's experience will encourage them to consider culinary school as well. Old and new faces were around her chatting it up and laughing joyously. She missed this so much. Life would be perfect if she could just get her family here as well.
Kagome cleared her throat at her last thought. She smiled and took her time preparing her thoughts and writing down things that needed to be discussed. Soon everyone was eating and glasses were filled with whatever drink suited them. The sound of silverware and conversation grew louder and louder. She laughed as Rin finally made her way to the one person she wanted. Or rather one thing she wanted. Shippo's twitching fiery tail. She could see the shivers ripple through the young demon's body as Rin rubbed and played with his appendage. Poor kid was gripping the table to avoid ruining Rin's temporary happiness. Kaede came to the boy's rescue and offered Rin another fruit crepe to eat in which she happily crossed over laps to get back into her chair. Kagome waited until she had seated and everyone was comfortable before staring the meeting off.
Kagome tapped her tea cup and everyone began to grow silent and turn to her expectantly. "Before we start I just want to thank everyone for coming. I mean this is…this is great. Thank you." She said looking around at the smiling and determined faces. Kagome looked down at her lap gathering her courage to ask the next question. She picked up her pen and clicked it nervously before looking around at everyone again. "Be honest with me. What exactly do you know?"
It was silent around the room for a second as people shared glances wondering if they should say what was passing around or not. Kagome didn't exactly tell them much of it and they felt as if she wasn't keen on telling anyone for a reason. The twins scooted forward and looked at each other before Botan spoke. "We know you have been at the hospital a lot."
"Your sister is there and that can be very hard on people." Momiji finished reaching for her twin sister's hand encouragingly. "We didn't know you had a sister. We didn't know you had family here." They both said in unison looking at Jac nodded his head toward Kagome letting her know as always he heard through the grapevine everything.
Kagome's inhaled deeply and swallowed. She thought quickly on how to properly acknowledge their truths without giving too much more away. She wasn't sure where she stood exactly with her family and their sudden truce was fresh and didn't need to be poked at. She looked at Sango who knew some details due to them knowing each other through culinary school and Sango's travels to Japan with her bakery. However, even Sango's knowledge as far as she knew was limited.
Sango raised her hands up in defense. "Don't look at me. I didn't say anything."
"And restaurant week is coming up and we don't have a menu for it yet ready." Miroku cut in hoping to slice through the awkwardness with work related concerns. He watched Kagome write down the things that concerned everyone on the pad. "Also, the fall season is almost here so previous ingredients will no longer be as abundant as they were during the spring and summer. We need to discuss the changes in our daily menu."
Kagome wrote down quickly before looking up again to acknowledge others. "Ok. What else?"
"We have three events we are contracted to cater for the fall. As always we have the Annual Halloween Charity and Winter Wonderland Ball at the Opera Theater. But we also have this high profile fashion gala show coming up during Fashion Week." Shippo added placing the invitations he collected off the kitchen board and passed them around the table for everyone to look at. He ran his slim long fingers through his wild hair thinking about how crazy those events get with the food demand. He was just thankful they worked with other places to supply the large amounts of food offered and didn't have to cater the whole thing.
"Ok." Kagome breathed out heavily reading over the list of everything. "Is that all?" She asked as she looked around the room at all the heads that bobbed. She nodded and checked the first thing off the list. Her mouth suddenly had gone dry but she would much rather get this out the way. It was difficult to talk about. For so long she focused on pushing everything away and putting up a hard facade. Now it all came back like a boomerang. But this was her livelihood and she would not have her past affect her money and future. "First thing…" Kagome started while making eye contact with everyone. "I do have a sister. My sister lived in Japan but has come to visit me here in Paris. She is my full blooded sister as well." She stopped and took in a deep breath before continuing. "I didn't know she came here to Paris to see me but in doing so she risked her health. She is fine but she just needs rest so I'm going to be spending these next few weeks seeing to Rin's needs and also seeing to my sister's health."
"Your sister got a name?" Bankotsu asked leaning back in his chair and chewing his chopstick while Esmerelda leaned her head on his shoulder.
"K-kikyo." Kagome stated. "Kikyo Higurashi." She said with more confidence. The name sounded so foreign upon her lips having said it out loud. She braced herself for the fall out not sure of how they would take the news.
"So cool!" The twins spoke up as everyone looked to them for information. Momiji looked excitedly and spoke first. "She's a famous designer, artist, and model. Not to mention one of the World's Grand Priestesses on the Youkai Council." Botan sat up and looked at Kagome. "B-but then she vanished."
"Kikyo!" Totosai said rubbing his chin hair as he looked to the ceiling. Everyone turned to look at the old man as he searched his long memory. "Quite a powerful woman I hear. So you both come from Midoriko's line. I bet you're quite proud of your sister."
Kagome nodded her head as curious gazes were thrown at her. She was curious as to why no one would voice Kikyo's other dark past. Did they not know? Didn't they read magazines? Kagome looked around and took note that her bunch weren't ones for gossip it seemed. She said a silent prayer in thanks for that bullet she dodged for now. "Yes, well…Kikyo needed…she needed a break from everything. But she's here in Paris and trying to get back into her art it seems."
"You should invite her over for a meal." Jac offered looking around at the crew as they all nodded and voiced their agreements.
"She's your family. She is more than welcome to eat with us Kags." Bank offered backing up his sibling.
"Yeah it should do her some good to have a good meal and let her know we all are here for her." Sango added.
"Maybe she can spend time with myself and Rin on the mornings you absolutely have to come into the restaurant." Kaede spoke up from the other end. "I'm sure she would love to spend time with her niece while touring Paris. I certainly wouldn't mind another place setting for tea. It could also help her get well with fresh air."
Kagome looked at them all with a warm smile. Just this morning she was thinking about all the things she had going on in her life that she didn't give thanks for all the wonderful people in her life helping her every step of the way. She felt teary eyed at everyone's generosity. She tapped her pen and nodded in agreement. "I-I'll pass the message along." She looked at her notes gathering herself. "Ok menu. Menu and operation hours."
Everyone gave their ideas for the fall menu along with the exuberant input from the royal family's previous help. It was an explosion of creativity and innovation at the table that mingled with that of decadence and tradition. New items were pitched for the menu and old items were claimed forever staking their territory on the menu for the indulgence of their patrons. The excitement as palpable and it felt amazing to deliver the news that Spring could allow them all to have the same days off. If they successfully completed the events and did well to finish out the year, they would have enough money to close doors for two days every week maybe on a Sunday and Monday. Of course they would have to supplement with more events but that would be sorted out later. She was so happy to deliver the news to her hard workers. They finally would have money and time to take time off for themselves. She thought it was the least she could do to say thank you for all their hard work.
News was shared that they would be partnering with Sesshomaru's place which had everyone shocked and excited. It was the first and only time they partnered with anyone during restaurant week. They thought it was brilliant and would definitely spark interest for all the foodies and celebrity enthusiasts. Kagome showed them Sesshomaru's menu and wine options. Everyone pulled things and matched them to compliment. Esmerelda was added to their group serving on dessert and chocolate drink detail. She would be the final stop for their patrons to go and they would host her in the garden as well so that she wouldn't miss out. But they had to be mindful of her schedule as well because she was auditioning for a leading role in the play Anastasia. For critics and participants, they decided that they would leave the garden open. Miroku suggested that patrons showed proof they ate at Tashio's place by a stamp and their receipt. If they show it to them they could try their al le carte menu and vice versa.
For the first time no reservations would be needed during the week at the Shikon. Of course people with them would have their tables but everyone else would pay for the al le carte menu items. This meant more revenue and more foot traffic. This would remind the people of why they make reservations and why the classic mannerisms of food affairs were held in high regard. Food was an art and it brought people together for a sit down meal. They were not a fast food place for one to just waltz in and go. They gave an experience that made every patron feel like royalty. This is what they were promoting.
"What's this going on with you and Sesshomaru?" Jac asked leaning on the table to look down the center at Kagome.
"Huh?" Kagome asked confused before catching on quickly. "Nothing! Jac!" She responded trying her best not to roll her eyes at Jacs antics.
"It don't look like nothing." He responded with Cheshire smile. "I mean we have seen and heard more about him than the press ever sense both of you met. Now he's teaming up with us? Sounds like a whole lot of something."
"Oh please." Kagome said waving him off. "Look he is helping me with Rin's learning behaviors. He's just being helpful." She responded looking down at Kaede who held a gentle smile that made her a little uneasy. Kagome looked back at Jac and shook her head. "Besides he's engaged." She said feeling the weight of her words all of a sudden.
"When has that ever stopped anyone." Jac responded slyly earning him a hard glare from Sango. "What! I'm just saying. Our Kags here has way more to offer on the table than that slut he is on the verge with self-destruction with. And hotter too."
Kagome groaned and just looked away refusing to be tugged in by Jacs conversation. But she could see the wheels turning in everyone's head as no one seemed to deny what Jac was saying underneath his comments. She couldn't believe they would think that she and the Ice Prince had a thing. It was absurd. It was crazy! He was very handsome and she did enjoy seeing how doting he was with Rin. Plus he had a passion for food. His menu for example was well crafted and had inventive items that were very appealing to her taste buds. But that was where the line was drawn. Beyond that he was just…exasperating. Always shoving his opinion down other people's throats and walking around like he owned everything. He was a Prince but that didn't mean shit. She didn't want that. Besides, what could she possibly do with the demon that had a stick up his ass all the time? An attractive ass…
Kagome shook her head at the thought. Nope. She wouldn't go there. The demon was going to be married and no doubt going to be an even bigger pain in her ass. No she didn't have affection for him. It would take a hell of a lot of dates for that to happen. Lots of liquor too on her end. She felt sorry for the demon more than anything. He was about to tie himself to Satan's daughter in the name of responsibility and tradition. For a demon so opinionated and intelligent…he was a dumbass. Tying himself to someone so…distasteful. She was all for loving someone regardless of their flaws but Kaguya's attitude was a huge barrier that would have the Queen of England closing her gates to avoid a brief sitting with the arrogant demoness. He should have taken her advice the first time she gave it. He should leave her and be with someone he cares for and someone that cares for him. Kagome was practically growling to herself at the table as everyone talked amongst themselves forgetting her 'lack of a love life' for a moment. She looked over at Miroku who held a smirk on his face as he leaned back in his chair.
Miroku had never seen Kagome smitten with anyone but the blush on her face was tell-tale. He could see the little vein popping in her temple. Jac was always one to get the scoop and was never wrong about these sorts of things. Jac had clearly smelt something and it was Kagome's libido finally responding to stimuli in her environment. This was going to be fun to see. He reached over and poured her a glass of vintage wine he had been generously giving out to his peers. "Here. You may need this more than you think today." He said pouring her a much needed glass of wine to help her swallow the feelings he knew she was choking on.
