Author's Note:
Thanks for all the reviews; I was a little worried about the first chapter so it makes me happy that people actually liked it. There will be a bit of OOC in the chapter; it can't be helped though, and it will most likely continue through out the story. There is also a slight Lemon in the chapter…key word…SLIGHT. Its crappy; I've been at work while writing this and there has been plenty of distractions.
Arodwen: Fried chicken? HA that's awesome.
Anyway here is chapter 2
Chapter 2
Inuyasha sat in the spare room listening to the phone conversation going on in the living room. Ok so he didn't really mean to ease drop but her voice would rise in volume every so often and he couldn't help but catch what she was saying. He frowned, Koga was an idiot. He didn't understand what was going threw his head at times. He was pushing away the greatest girl in the world and all because of a stupid job. 'And apparently a stupid girl'
He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard a door slamming. Walking out of the bedroom, he made his way to the living room; being mindful to proceed with caution incase there would be a flying object of some sort or any other means of Kagome showing her frustration. 'Wouldn't be the first time' he grumbled to himself while recalling the "Bathroom incident". He didn't know she was in there, he didn't know she was having the worst day in the world; he also didn't know she was naked. Shaking the incident from his thoughts, he peered around the corner slowly only to not see her in the room. Walking to her bedroom, he softly tapped on the door thinking she was in there.
"Kagome? Are you in there?"
"…No…" came a muffled reply. Shaking his head, he opened the door and slipped in before shutting it. The room was so dark. The thick curtains didn't allow a spec of light in the room and he could barely make out her form under the bed sheets.
"What happened?" he asked sitting down on the edge of the bed. He already had an idea; apparently Koga wasn't being to faithful. "Koga is an asshole" Kagome replied, her voice was still muffled from being under the covers but being up close he could hear her better. Inuyasha sighed; he really didn't know what to say or do to make it better. He's known Koga forever, and even though the prick got on his nerves, he was still his friend and was torn between two sides. He considered Kagome his best friend, no one knew him as well as she did.
"I over heard bits and pieces. Care to fill in?"
Kagome sighed. She didn't really understand why she was so upset. After all, she technically cheated on him too. 'This is different' her mind screamed. 'That was a one time thing, and yet this seems like it's been going on for awhile'. Was that it? The fact that all this time (up until the last minute anyway), she was faithful but he wasn't? Kagome could feel the tears well up in her eyes. She really loved him, she really did. She was hoping to just put it all behind her and forget the "incident" and move on, she and Koga would work out their issues and everything would be peachy. Kagome snorted. 'So much for that.'
"A girl answered his house phone, I tried the cell first but it was turned off. When I asked who she was, she was like "I'm his girlfriend, who are you?" when I asked how long they were dating she said almost a year. Then Koga got on the phone and I just went off." Kagome pulled her head out from under the blankets and Inuyasha could see that she had been crying. He growled to himself, he was half tempted to go over and punch him in the face. "Don't worry about me Inu, after all, we are technically already separated. I'm fine." She said, placing her hand on his arm. She felt him tense before he shrugged it off.
"FEH, I'm not worried about you. I was just thinking how I'm gonna kick that prick in the ass" he said standing. Kagome chuckled softly to herself. Inuyasha never stayed out of character for long, and frankly he was kind of freaking her out with him being all nice and concerned. Inuyasha shot her a glare before crossing his arms and turning around. It was nice to hear her laugh and see a smile on her face; not that he would tell her that or anything. 'Koga doesn't realize what he lost, though one day he will.'
Kagome rose from the bed and made her way to her dresser. It was late and she decided she had enough excitement for one day. "Are you staying tonight?" she asked him while pulling out some clothes to change into. "No, I think I'm gonna go home tonight. Did you want me to stay?" he asked watching her bend over to the bottom drawer. 'Nice ass.'
He quickly shook his head totally missing what she said. "Huh?"
Kagome turned around and straightened up. "I said you don't have to, I'll be fine." Walking over, she gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek while bidding him good bye. Inuyasha snorted and briefly hugged her back before walking out the bedroom door. After hearing the front door shut and lock, Kagome began to slip off her clothes while silently debating on taking a bath. After deciding that she was too tired, she slipped on the over size tee-shirt and boxers and then crawled into bed.
He glared at the ceiling, rolling over; he glared at the alarm clock. Rolling on to his other side, he glared at the wall. He was running out of things to glare at. He even tempted to glare at his daughter before sending her to bed, but that lasted a half a second, that smile seemed to melt away the glare; much to his annoyance. He couldn't sleep, and it was entirely that woman's fault.
'Kagome…'
He just didn't understand; how can a mere slip of a girl cause so much chaos in his life? It didn't help that Rin spent the rest of the night going on and on about dinner on Monday. The girl was practically oozing with excitement and she's never even met the woman. He just had a feeling that Kagome's charm would win over the girl and then he'd really be in for it.
'She's never cared for any one else that I really associated with.' He thought. 'Even with Kikyo who's she known for nearly her whole life never gotten this type of response' Grabbing a pillow, he placed it over his head hoping it would some how help. He wasn't really sure what he was attempting to do with the woman. He didn't think he was ready for another relationship. The only positive thing from his last one was his daughter and that was it.
It didn't help that his family as well as Kikyo kept on harping on him that he needed a mother for Rin. Yea she needed a mother, he knew that, but now was not the time to be searching for miss right. Plus, half the women he met didn't care to much for Rin, only his money and social status. Kikyo seemed to be up to something too. He made the mistake of calling a few times to, nonchalantly learn more about her sister. Apparently that wasn't working because his father called him just this morning asking about "Some girl named Kagome". He frowned.
Kikyo explained to him that Kagome's boyfriend broke up with her not to long ago and it wasn't because of what they did that night. He briefly wondered if she ever told him about that night but considering how hammered they where that night, he doubted she remembered enough to tell. Even he had a problem remembering all of that night and that was saying something.
He forced the thoughts away before they even appeared. It was the one thing that bugged him the most. He's been with plenty of women, and none has had this type of an effect on him. He felt like he was addicted or bewitched or … or something. It seemed like every time he thought about that night at Bank and Kikyo's house, images of them being together flash briefly in his head and no matter how many cold showers he took, his erection wouldn't go away. He even tried to just sleep with another woman, hoping that it would help. It didn't. He pictured that the skinny blonde below him was a raven haired beauty, with nice shapely thighs, and well rounded breasts.
Sesshoumaru groaned and proceeded to hit the pillow that was over his head. 'Maybe if I beat it out?' he silently mused. Yanking the pillow from his head he tossed it across the room. "Shit"
He glanced over to where the pillow was, silently cursing its existence. Why? He didn't know. He needed something, anything to focus his anger on and the pillow seemed like a nice, soft easy target. 'Soft….' Closing his eyes, he pictured something else that was soft. "Grrr damn it" he quickly shot open his eyes and sat up. It was pointless. Walking to his private bathroom, he walked in and shut the door. Reaching in the shower stall, he turned on the hot water and quickly stripped himself of his boxers. The steam of the hot water quickly filled the room and he took a moment to bask in the warmth humid feeling. Feeling the ache cause from his thoughts, he walked into the shower and mentally scowled at what he was going to do.
It couldn't be helped. He hated what he was about to do, it was beneath him really. Standing under the hot spray, he grabbed his pulsing erection in his hand and began slowly pumping his hand along the length. Closing his eyes, he pictured the raven haired woman; in all her naked glory. Increasing his speed and grip, he pictured thrusting himself into her dripping core all the while she tossed and turned; moaning his name as he hit all the right spots. Feeling his peak approaching, he increased his speed even more, his hand moving in jerky motions as he continued to picture her withering under him. He spilled his seed and watched it for a moment as it dripped off him only to be washed away.
He was disgusted with himself; one, because he never stoops to pleasuring himself and two, because it didn't even take much to reach his climax. Quickly switching from hot to cold water, he let the piercing, cold water wash over him before shutting it off. After drying himself off, he swiftly threw on his boxers and crawled back in bed.
Kagome was lured awake to the smell of bacon. 'Bacon?' After some quick stretching, she walked out and followed the invisible trail of bacon towards the kitchen. 'Who is here anyway?' she questioned as she rounded the corner.
Kikyo was busy pulling some toast from the toaster while Bank grabbed some plates and set them on the small table in the kitchen. Kagome just stood there watching the two as they worked in the kitchen with ease. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" She asked, making herself known.
"Good morning sleepy head. Thought you could use a good breakfast for once." Kikyo said without even skipping a beat in her work. Bank simply waved before going back to grabbing plates and cups. Shaking her head, Kagome made her way to the table and sat down. "Wait… what you mean for once?" she asked glaring at her sister.
Kikyo could feel the glare but shrugged it off. "Since Inuyasha's been staying here, you picked up his poor eating habits. Cold pizza and chips are NOT good for you" She shot her sister a look over her shoulder before going back to the food. Kagome just shrugged before taking a sip of coffee that Bank offered her. "But it was a veggie pizza and sun chips…those are kinda healthy…PLUS bacon isn't all that good for you either ya know?!" she protested. Bank simply shook his head, opting to stay out of the sister feud. He learned a long time ago to stay out of them. No matter what side he took, there would be hell to pay so it was best to just stay silent.
Kikyo glared at her younger sister. "Do you even WANT me to comment back to that and besides, who said you were getting any bacon?" she asked sitting plates of yummy, delicious smelling food on the table. After a slight distraction of the bacon, Kagome shot her gaze back to her sister and then back to the food, shaking her head no. 'More important' she chanted in her head as she reached over and started pilling food on her plate. Bank watched in a daze as Kagome loaded her plate, silently appraising her. 'Damn, girl can eat.' Kikyo simply shook her head before grabbing some food. Kikyo totally noticed Kagome go for the bacon first. 'She will pay'
Breakfast was a silent affair. Every so often, Kagome could feel her sister and brother in law's gaze and it was getting annoying. "What?" she asked, not bothering to look up. She had a feeling they where up to something. Kikyo never willingly woke up this early on a Sunday and normally she make Bank do the cooking. 'Come to think of it…how the hell did they get in here anyway?' she asked herself.
"Inuyasha called me last night." Was all she said. Instantly, Kagome knew the rest. Inuyasha told them Koga was a cheating bastard and Kikyo was here to cheer her up. "It's ok…. I'm ok. Thanks for coming over, you guys really didn't have to though." Kikyo simply shook her head in the negative before placing her hand on her sister's arm. "You know I care about you, despite how much I may torment you and all." Kagome just nodded and poked around her food. She suddenly lost her appetite but didn't have the heart to just throw her food away. She sighed.
"I was really upset at first. But now, I think it's for the best that we went our separate ways." She said looking at her sister to show she meant every word of it. "He wasn't faithful…" she paused. "And I really have no room to hate him" she silently mumbled to herself.
"What do you mean?" Kikyo asked while leaning over the table. She could barely make out what her sister said.
Kagome paused. She didn't know if she should say anything. Did it even matter any more?
"I…"
"Yea?" Kikyo asked, leaning even more towards her sister.
"I kinda… well, I didn't mean too really." Kagome said while glancing back at her food, nervously she picked at it all the while she tried to gather the right words to say.
"Didn't mean to what?" Kikyo asked. She was starting to get impatient. "Just spit it out already"
"I slept with someone a few weeks back!" she said quickly. Bowing her head even more, she waited for the onslaught of jabs.
"Well I knew that." Kikyo said, satisfied Kagome finally said it out loud.
"Huh?" Kagome looked up; confused beyond belief. 'She knew?' looking at Bank she saw him nod. 'He knew?' "Wha…you knew?" she asked baffled.
"Well, Yea, I mean, I come out of my room to find my living room a mess, picture frames all knocked off the walls and of course the dinning room table was upside down. OH and lets not forget this!" Kikyo looked at Bank and saw him smile before reaching into a bag at his feet. 'Funny, where did that come from?'
Kagome's thoughts came to a screeching halt. 'What…the…HELL?!' "I found this hanging on my patio door knob as well." Kikyo said while pointing the object currently dangling from Bank's hands. A smile of triumph across her face and Kagome was mortified. In Bank's hands held a nice, expensive, satin, red bra that Kagome was convinced dropped off the face of the earth. Now, she wish she could drop off the face of the earth. Kagome took a deep breath and after a few seconds, she slowly rose from her seat. Taking two, slow steps, she stepped to the left and paused for a few seconds before looking at the traitorous garment. 'Well, now I know where it was' she thought to herself.
The room was deathly silent. Shifting her eyes between Kikyo and Bank she took in their shit eating grins before glancing back at the bra. The bra that was hanging oh so perfectly in Bank's hand. 'They knew, and they didn't say anything?'
It happened in a flash. Kagome reached over and yanked the bra from Bank only to bolt to her room as fast as her legs could take her. She quickly slammed her door and locked it before running and diving under the covers.
Kikyo sat stunned, she never seen her sister move so fast. A grin adorned her face. Getting up from the table, Kikyo barked a quick order for Bank to clean up and then made her way to her sister's bedroom. Upon arriving at the door, she found it locked and proceeded to bang on the door. "Alright Kags, now that the jig is up, why don't you give your dear old sister some details?" Kikyo said through the door.
Kagome panted, she was a tad out of shape. She could here her sister tapping on the door, as well as her request. 'HA as if I'd kiss and tell' Kagome mused to herself. "GO AWAY! I'M NOT TELLIN!" she shouted from under the covers. She was mortified really. She knew Kikyo wouldn't let her live this down. Kagome gasped. 'What if she told mom?' The possibilities of what she did or could do ran through Kagome's mind all the while Kikyo continued to bang on the door.
"Kagome! Let me in!" Kikyo said, slowly rising her voice. "Don't make me break down the door"
Kagome sighed before getting out of bed and unlocking the door. It wouldn't bode well if she had to replace a door; her land lord wouldn't be to happy if he found out either. When she opened the door, she saw the grin on her sister's face and Kagome mentally shuddered. "Ok, Ok, there, ya happy now?" Kagome said making her way back to the bed. It was after all her comfort zone, and right now, she needed some comfort. Sitting up on her bed, she watched as Kikyo followed suit and sat across from her. Placing her head in her hands, Kagome waited for the interrogations to commence.
"SOOOOO…?" Kikyo started and Kagome simply sighed waiting for what she would say next. "Was he good in bed?" Kagome shot a look at her before glaring at her. "WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?" she yelled, startled that her sister would want to know something like that about her friend.
"What?"
Kagome sighed. "Well, the thing is, I don't really remember to much about it. I mean, we did get pretty wasted that night. I was so fucking confused when I woke up. It took me a few minutes to gather my thoughts; it was pretty obvious what happened. I was wigging out that I was pregnant like you wouldn't believe." Kagome said, her shoulders slumped in defeat. It felt good to finally say it all out loud but she still felt horrible about it. 'What would people think? What did Kikyo think? Or Sesshoumaru?'
Kikyo grinned, she knew this has been bothering her sister for some time now. It was strange how it worked actually. She could just tell when something was bothering her sister and vice versa. There was no such things as secrets between them and Kikyo knew it just took a little encouragement to get her talking. "It's ok, I don't blame you really. I mean, Koga never put out and never had any time for you. Plus Sesshy is HAWT! Don't you think he kinda looks like Inu?" Kikyo asked.
Kagome glared at her. "Stop insinuating things between me and Inuyasha. I don't really think they look alike, minus the hair and eyes. I mean, they are two TOTALLY different people. And it's not like I really PLANNED on sleeping around… it just…kinda happened." Saying the last part slow, she couldn't help but second guess that. After all, she was pretty attracted to the man, and already told herself she wouldn't mind trying to hook up with him if it wasn't for Koga. It was strange really, she never really felt that way while with Koga. She never even looked at another man thinking "I'd like to tap that". Sesshoumaru was different though. 'Oh yea…'
"He called me the other day." Kagome said, reminding herself as well as telling her sister. 'I almost forgot, the dinner.'
"Oh?" Kikyo asked, a slight tilt in her head indicating she was intrigued. "What did he want?"
"Well, his daughter accidentally called me. She sounds really sweet too, how old is she again?"
"She will be seven in October. She called? Wow? Sesshy never leaves his phone unattended." Kikyo wondered if maybe it was a set up. After all, he's been pussin out with calling her already, would he stoop as low as to get his 6 year old to call? Kikyo was pulled from her thoughts when her sister spoke up.
"Oh, well anyway, he invited me to dinner tomorrow night. I said I'd go, but I'm kinda nervous. I mean, I remember stories you told me, he is a womanizer and he could have any girl he wants. Why would he want to associate with me? Plus, what if he thinks I'm a loose woman? I don't want a repeat of that night." 'right?' Kagome started to panic and Kikyo couldn't help but chuckle.
"I think you are over reacting. One, its just dinner. Two, do you really think he'll do something with Rin there? Three, I think you'd be surprised with him." Kikyo debated on telling her sister about all the phone calls she gotten from him about her.
Kagome paused in her ranting and hyperventilating. 'Oh yea, Rin will be there.' Kagome felt like hitting herself. 'He wouldn't try anything with her there.' Kagome gave Kikyo a skeptical look however. "Please, as far as anyone is concern, I'm like sloppy seconds." Kagome told Kikyo who in return simply shook her head. 'Here we go' "Kagome, shut up. Don't let what happened with Koga ruin your life. I know you cared about him a lot; don't know why, but you did." She shot her look silencing her protests as she continued talking. "But, you need to move on, face it, you weren't happy and I'm not telling you to rush into anything. Just, simply enjoy yourself for once in your damn life." Kikyo rose from the bed when she heard Bank call her.
"We are leaving now, Jakotsu wants us to come over his place and help him with his scrap booking before having lunch with their family. Since Bank isn't much help in the scrap booking field, it's me to the rescue." Kikyo said making her way to the door. Kagome got up and followed her; Bank was already out in the hallway holding a few bags of unknown things.
Kagome snickered at the thought of Bank helping Jak with scrap booking. The brothers loved each other to death, but Bank was a homo-phob and he also didn't know squat about scrap books. Jak was a real trip too, he had the pleasure of meeting Inuyasha once and it was love at first sight as Jak put it. To bad for him Inuyasha was straight as an arrow. She was brought out of her musings when her sister embraced her.
"Let me know how dinner goes alright? I'm gonna be calling you first thing Tuesday morning. I'd call Monday night, but I don't want to interrupt anything." Kikyo said with a rise of her brows in the suggestive way. Kagome simply glared at her before hugging her back and waving good bye to Bank. Shutting the door, she made her way into the kitchen. Looking around, she saw that Bank did a fine job at cleaning up and made a mental note to thank him. He even managed to do the dishes.
Kagome walked over to the freezer and opened it up. She was stressed, and as any full blooded woman, she needed a certain something to help her deal with it. 'Mint Choco Chip Ice cream to the rescue' she mused. Opening her eyes from her brief dream of ice cream Mountains with fudge snow caps, she gasped at what she saw; or didn't see. "WHERE IS IT!?" she frantically moved items around searching for it and nearly died with what she found.
"What the hell?" Kagome grabbed the frozen container and read the note attached to it.
Stop eating JUNK! Love, your sweet, caring sister.
Pulling the note away, she read what the container was. 'Tofu… Ice cream' "WHAT THE HELL!" She was pissed. That bitch stole her ice cream. Shutting the freezer she then opened the fridge.
"Fine, if I can't have my damn ice cream, I'll have some pudding." Reaching into the fridge, she went to the shelf that has her pudding only to grab an apple. 'What the…?' Looking at the apple, then to the fridge, Kagome could feel her anger building; her hands were shaking so much that said apple fell from her grasp as she read the huge note posted in her fridge.
OH! I took the liberty of cleaning your fridge.
"DAMN HER!"
Kikyo glanced over at her partner in crime and then to the load of groceries in the back seat. "Did you even take the mayo?" She asked him while quietly laughing at the whole thing.
"Well, you asked me to get everything bad out of there, so I did." He said, grinning as he pictured Kagome's face when she noticed her food missing. As if on cue, Kikyo's phone began to ring. Bank looked over and saw the smile on her face when she looked at the caller id. Answering the phone, she quickly pulled it away from her ear. Kagome's yelling could be heard loud and clear and Bank couldn't help but laugh about the whole thing.
"It was for your own good." Kikyo said, trying to over power the volume of her sister's voice. "Think of this as a fresh start…… I know you need your chocolate…..yeah; I know he took the mayo…...Kagome your being a little outrageous here……he took the expired milk?" Kikyo glanced to her husband giving him the 'what the hell is wrong with you" look before looking forward again. She sighed, her sister was promising her a painful death unless her food was returned and a laughing husband in the background wasn't helping. "Umm, Kags I'll talk to you later." Kikyo hung up the phone and quickly turned it off. She reached over and grabbed Bank's phone and turned it off as well.
Bank noticed this and couldn't help but comment. "So, trying to avoid her now huh? Did she scare you that bad?" Kikyo glared at him before huffing and looking away.
"You don't know my sister that well apparently. When she's mad, none avoid her wrath." Kikyo looked behind her and glanced around the bags off food. "You! I can't believe you even took the expired milk. I was wondering what that smell was. If that shit opens up in my car, your ass is grass." Bank shuddered at the tone his wife used. Nodding vigorously he focused on the road, all the while praying to stay out of trouble with both sisters.
