Episode Cuatro
Recap: "But what if you had killed him? You would have faced unbelievable charges! And then where would that leave everyone?! Hm? You would be sitting in jail and Inuyasha would be a wife beater. How would your poor father look? And another thing"-Kagome was cut off by Sesshomaru's lips descending onto hers.
"I get the point, okay? Can we just take a shower now?" Sesshomaru chuckled.
"I sounded like a nagging old wife, didn't I?" Kagome smiled softly. "Indeed." Sesshomaru nodded.
H.C.A.H.O.
The next day, Kagome walked into school fresh and rejuvenated after Inuyasha's punishment. Not only had Sesshomaru beaten him an inch of his life, but when Inutaisho got home, and Izayoi came back from where ever she was, he got one hell of a yelling. It felt good to be loved.
Kagome skipped in the hall to her locker and grabbed her books before skipping off to class. She saw Miroku walking into math and followed him. She put her hands over his eyes and giggled in a sing-song voice; "Guess who". Miroku stopped, contemplating who it could be.
"Kagome?" He guessed. "How did you know?" She pouted when she looked at him. "I saw you coming through the corner of my eye. You're about as sneaky as an elephant" He gave a lopsided smile. "Are you saying I'm as heavy as an elephant, that's it, isn't it? You think I'm fat" Kagome pressured, joking around.
She sounded neurotic and paranoid! "No! No! Of course not, merely plump" Miroku laughed nervously. The two of them burst out laughing and skipped into class.
H.C.A.H.O.
School went without a hitch for Kagome. Inuyasha had been suspended indefinitely and was sitting in in-house suspension for now, eating lunch with the learning impaired. (A/N: I have a problem with saying special-ed so this is the phrase I use because I think saying special-ed is mean and calling people retarded and special education isn't retarded, just learning impaired)
She nervously walked home, dreading going to her parents house. She hadn't been home in two days and definitely hadn't called. She slowly opened the door to her home, taking a deep breath as she did. "Hello? Is anyone home?" She squeaked. "In the living room" Her step-fathers low voice came. Yup, she was in trouble.
"Hi Mama, hey Yoru" Kagome said with a brisk smile, trying to act as if nothing was wrong. "Sit sown" Her mother ordered. Yoru, her step father and fellow dog demon shook his head. Kagome immediately sat in the chair next to her. "Where the hell have you been?" Yoru demanded in a deathly calm voice. "The Taisho residence" Kagome squirmed in her seat.
Her mother sighed in relief, as did Yoru. "Why didn't you call? Or Inuyasha"-"Inuyasha and I broke up two days ago" Kagome interrupted. "Then why were you over there?" Korari (Kagome's mother) hissed. "I was with Sesshomaru" Kagome gulped. "Why the hell were you with Sesshomaru?!" Yoru screamed, "We were…we were just hanging out" She whimpered.
Yoru sniffed the air lightly. His eyes narrowed down on Kagome. "You slept with him" He whispered sharply. "Kagome!" Korari gasped. Kagome hung her head down so they couldn't see her blushing. She was embarrassed, yeah, but not ashamed. "Yes?" She brought her head up. "You know you were getting married" Her mother sneered.
"That man was only going to take a virgin in order to merge companies with Yoru and you messed up his chances!" She yelled. "Wow, so your little weapon dispenser won't join in merging with Naraku, who is a middle aged man you're trying to get me to marry! It's disgusting if you thought I would sleep with him!" Kagome snapped. "Get out of my house you slut. You disgraced your family!" Yoru roared.
"Well, I'm glad I did! I wouldn't want to be in a family where they sell their daughter to some virgin obsessed psycho! I'll get my stuff and leave!" Kagome shouted before stomping upstairs. She threw some underwear, t-shirts, jeans, two more uniforms, and a couple of tank tops and shorts into a duffle bag. She stalked into the bathroom and grabbed her brush, deodorant, toothbrush, curling iron, flat iron, and hairspray. She threw everything in before stomping back down stairs and out the house.
Kagome got a block away from the house before whipping out her cell phone and calling Sesshomaru. It rang twice before he picked up.
"Are you busy?"
"Not really"
"Can you pick me up?"
"I'm in class. Walk to my school and I'll meet you after my class"
"If you're in class, how are you on the phone with me?"
"One, Bluetooth. Two, I'm Sesshomaru Taisho"
"Okay, I'll see you in a few" Kagome hung up and walked slowly to Tokyo University.
H.C.A.H.O.
Kagome sat impatiently in the lobby of the college. Her foot was tapping furiously on the tiled floor. Finally, Sesshomaru came from the hallway she could see clearly. He spotted her and smirked a bit. Kagome jumped up and ran over to him. "I got kicked out" She pouted. "How did that happen" Sesshomaru asked as he kissed Kagome lightly.
"Well, my step dad Yoru was supposed to merging with Naraku what his faces company, but the only way Naraku would merge would be if he could marry me while I was still a virgin. He knew I wasn't a virgin anymore and kicked me out. All I have is this small little bag" Kagome explained dramatically.
"Well, who are you going to stay with?" Sesshomaru smirked. Kagome gaped at him. "Just kidding. You can stay with me" He smirked quickly. She closed her mouth and crossed her arms defiantly. Sesshomaru put his arm around her shoulder and kissed the top of her head. They walked out and to his car. Halfway through the silent ride, Kagome spoke up. "Ne, Sesshomaru, this isn't the way to your house" She pointed out.
"Sit back" He ordered, his eyes never straying from the rode. Kagome sat back and crossed her arms. "You didn't have to be so mean about it" She grumbled. "I simply meant to wait and see where we were going, okay?" He corrected himself. "Okay" Kagome cheered up. "Besides the fact, we're here" He pointed to the gated community up ahead.
Kagome raised an eyebrow to it. "Are we going to an old person's home? It looks so boring" She snorted. "Hn" was Sesshomaru's reply.
Coming to the gate, Sesshomaru placed an i.d. card into the slot then pressed in a code. The gate opened for him and he drove through slowly, passing by townhouses (A/N: You know, houses connected together. My big brother lives in one which is where I got the idea. They're really nice and have awesome backyards! Along with a gardener that comes and trims hedges for you. I love it there)
He drove further into the community, making so many turns Kagome wasn't sure how to get back out! He stopped at a row of houses, the block containing of three connected houses. He parked in the lot marked 22 and got out of the car to help Kagome out. Sesshomaru then proceeded to the red brick house on the right end of the other two. All the houses looked the same, red brick, and one long roof going over the three dwellings with three chimney shoots.
The only real differences were the curtains, welcome mats, the flowers, and the paths leading to the door. Kagome shrugged and followed Sesshomaru into the house. The foyer was a cream color and had an end table with a mirror placed over it and a picture of a little girl with raven hair, chocolate eyes, and one front tooth missing.
Sesshomaru went into the dining room where the staircase was. Kagome looked at the room and saw it was mint green with cherry wood floor and a lacquered black table in the center that sat about six with three plates stacked on one another and a glass at each place.
Upstairs, Sesshomaru led Kagome to a room on the right side of the stairs. The room looked to be the master bedroom. It had tatami mats placed inside cherry wood frames. Across from the door, there was a platform bed made of cherry wood with an earthy green comforter placed over folded down cream sheets. There were a bunch of different green toned pillows on the bed and the walls were a cream color as well. The curtains were the color of grass in the fall with a brown curtain hanging on the rod.
"Wow Sesshou, I never knew you had such good taste" Kagome praised. She looked about the room again and saw two cherry wood dressers across from each other. You could tell which one was Sesshomaru's by the various bottles of cologne sitting on the top shelf and the open jewelry box full of watches, chains, rings, and cufflinks. "So, why two dresser Sesshou?" Kagome asked even though she knew the answer.
"One is for you" He simply replied. "Wait a minute…You knew I would want to move in with you as it was!" Kagome pointed a finger at him accusingly. "Of course I knew. You seem to spend more time with me than most females can handle. I also knew of you engagement to Naraku and that he has a fetish for virgins. Of course, I also knew your step-father would be angry when he smelt me on your person. It was really just thinking ahead" Sesshomaru explained.
"And what makes you think I want to stay with you now" Kagome challenged. "I have a feeling, that after my next surprise, you won't be going anywhere" He smirked before walking to the closet in the bedroom. He opened and Kagome squealed. Half the closet was full of his clothes and the other half was full of what Kagome guessed would be her new wardrobe.
"That was your first surprise. Follow me for your second" He smirked. Sesshomaru walked out of their room to the one diagonal to him on his left. He barely got the door open before a blur of black and orange came rushing at him. "Sesshomaru-sama! Rin missed you soooo much! Rin lost her other front tooth while you were gone, see?" The little girl who looked to be five or six blurted out with a lisp.
"Rin, if you lose anymore teeth, you won't be able to eat anymore, did the tooth fairy leave you any money?" HE chuckled as he picked her up. "No! Rin wanted to wait until Sesshy-papa was home so she could show you her tooth" Rin scowled stubbornly. "Well, why don't you show me later, there is someone here to meet you" Sesshomaru suggested. He put the young girl done and Kagome stepped inside the room.
"Who are you?" Rin asked cutely. "I'm Kagome, your…Sesshy-papa's friend" She smiled sweetly as she crouched down to eye level to the girl. "Oh, do you wanna come see my dolls?" Rin shyly twirled a lock of her hair around her finger. "Sure, I love dolls" Kagome agreed cheerfully.
Sesshomaru nodded his head before walking out the room and downstairs. The girls went over to Rin's doll house and played for about an hour before cleaning up their mess. "Ne Rin, why don't we go shopping? I can get you some new toys." Kagome suggested.
"Okay!" Rin smiled brightly. "Let me just get changed and then we can get your Daddy's credit card" Kagome smiled devilishly. She walked out Rin's room and into hers and Sesshomaru's. "Let's see my new wardrobe" She murmured and pulled open a drawer. It was full of shorts in every style. Settling on a pair of black, white, and tan plaid shorts, Kagome picked black halter top and black flip-flops to go with it.
The shorts ended mid-thigh, held up by a tan button on her outer-thighs. Kagome pulled her hair up in a high ponytail and put a pair of black sunglasses on top of her head before grabbing her purse. Kagome stepped out of her room at the same time Rin stepped out of her…wearing the exact same thing she was.
"This is…awkward?" Kagome said questioningly in as low, unsure voice. Rin simply giggled and took Kagome's hand. They skipped down the stairs together and into the kitchen where Sesshomaru was working on a paper. He looked up at them and raised an eyebrow to their matching outfits.
"Sesshomaru? Can Rin and I go shopping with your credit card? I just want to get her a few toys and maybe…a few toys for our self?" Kagome murmured seductively. "Three toys for Rin, no more than a hundred each. You may pick up yourself three items as well, no toys and no more than a hundred dollars each. Be back by five" Sesshomaru instructed before slapping his gold card into Kagome's hand and turning back to his paper.
"Thank you Sesshomaru!" Kagome squealed and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Sesshy-papa! Rin loves you" She giggled and gave him a quick hug before running off to Kagome. "Come on Mama-Kagome!" She smiled and led the older woman to the next block down.
"What are we waiting for Rin?" Kagome asked, completely confused. "The shuttle that'll take us to the garage. Sesshomaru keeps his other car in there-the one Jaken drives for Rin! He's probably waiting for us because Sesshomaru usually calls while I'm on the shuttle and tells Jaken to start the car" Rin explained.
Soon, a silver small bus came rolling into slight at a moderate pace. It stopped at the block Kagome and Rin were standing on and opened the doors. "Well hello Rin, and who is this?" A woman with bright orange-red hair greeted them brightly. "This is my new Mama" Rin beamed. "Hi, I'm Kagome" She smiled sheepishly, blushing at the little girl's introduction for her.
"Oh, well nice to meet you. I'm Aya Kitsune" The older woman introduced herself with a smile. "You'll be seeing a lot of me, Rin and my little Shippou are very close friends" She continued. "O-Okay" Kagome nodded unsure before getting on the bus. She sat next Rin and they rode the rest of the way to the garage in silence.
The came to a really big building and the bus doors opened. Kagome took Rin's hand in hers and got off. They went into the building and Kagome nearly fainted at the sight of all the expensive cars in one place. "Miss Rin! Miss Rin!" A piercing voice came calling. An imp, not even four feet tall came running.
"Hi Jaken!" Rin giggled. "Allow me to escort you to the-Who is this human filth!?" He squawked, pointing his staff in Kagome's face. "This is Rin's new Mommy!" The girl chirped. "Sesshomaru-sama would never marry such filth!" Jaken objected. "Oh really? Well, we're not married one, and though we are dating, you have to listen to me" Kagome smirked.
Jaken walked away, grumbling something under his breath about stupid humans. Kagome shrugged and followed him to the car. He opened the door for them, slamming it shut before Kagome barely got her foot inside. She gave him a dirty look before crossing her arms.
H.C.A.H.O.
At the mall, Kagome searched for the store she was looking for on the directory. When she couldn't find it, she looked up, huffing in annoyance…Only to see 'Toy R Us' sitting right in front of her. Kagome scowled at herself before grabbing Rin and trudging on to the store.
Upon entering, Rin immediately ran to the doll section. She grabbed a Polly Pocket doll set that came with four dolls and two pairs of clothes for them all. "Can I get this and more clothes for my baby doll, Mommy?" Rin looked up at Kagome with innocent eyes. "Of course sweetheart, let's go get them" She smiled.
Rin skipped off to the section where baby dolls were and looked to a shelf with watery eyes. "Mommy, they don't have the clothes for my toy?!" She whined, running to Kagome and clinging onto her leg. "Rin, don't cry. Maybe they had to send them back to get some that were extra special fro you. Why don't we get you something different?" Kagome smiled sweetly at her.
"Really?" She croaked out.
"Of course sweetie. I'll even get you the one toy that I still want to this day...A Barbie truck. That was the toy when I was growing up! I wanted one so bad! All my friends had one but my mom was like it was useless" Kagome grumbled, crossing her arms and pouting. "Mommy, let's go get it!" The girl giggled before pulling Kagome to the back of the store to wear bikes and such were held.
She took a large box and hauled it to the cash registers.
One freakin' hour later
Kagome tapped her foot impatiently as she stood behind a lady looking for 31 cent in exact change to give the cashier. Rin swayed back and forth as she walked in circles around Kagome. "Here 31 cent! Take it and get of the god forsaken line!" Kagome growled as she slammed the change on the counter.
The woman gave her a snotty look before taking her bag and stomping off. "Can I put these toys on lay away?" She smiled sweetly at the boy behind the register. "Sure. Would you like to pay now or when you come back?" He asked. "I'll pay now. I'll be back in a half hour. Charge it" She nodded.
The boy took the card and slid it through the scanner before handing it back to Kagome. She took Rin's hand and they walked out the store together. "Mommy are we going home yet?" Rin moaned. "Just on more stop sweetie" Kagome smiled tiredly and picked up the sleepy girl.
She spotted Victoria's Secret all the way down from where she was. She sighed and dragged her feet along the floor to reach the store, chanting the whole way "It's worth it. It's worth it" All of the sudden, a blur of black sped in front of her and Kagome couldn't avoid.
She hit into the person and fell flat on her bum. "You know, it's extremely rude to just jump in front of a woman holing a child" Kagome spat, adjusting the sleeping Rin in her arms so she was more comfortable. "Sorry, I just had to meet you. I saw you from across the room and was attracted to you almost immediately. I think I should make you my woman" An arrogant and deep voice came from above. A calloused hand was stuck out to Kagome. She stared at it like it was poison and got up on her own.
"Okay, one, I'm not interested in you. Two, I don't give a flying kitty if you were attracted to me from across the room, you don't just run in front of a person like that. Three, my fiancée would not enjoy me 'being your woman' so back off" Kagome sneered and continued on her way. "Well, well, well, a feisty one. I like that. My names Kouga" He gave a cocky smirk.
(: A/N: Last chapter was changed, instead of Kouga telling everyone about Kagome and Inuyasha breaking up, it was Hiten)
Kagome rolled her eyes and kept walking. She made it through the doors of Victoria's Secret and went straight to all the lingerie. Kouga followed her right to it. He was talking about their relationship or something, Kagome wasn't paying attention. She just picked up her size in an expensive white night gown that was supposed to be extremely sexy and cost as much as her three items would all together.
She yawned as she walked to the register and paid for the clothing. Kagome skipped out of the store and back to Toys R Us to get the Barbie truck
H.C.A.H.O.
Kagome opened the door to the red brick house and pushed the extremely large box through the door with her foot. She sat on it, trying to catch her breath as Rin came through the door holding her Polly Pocket set and smiling.
"How was your shopping trip?" The velvety smooth voice came from the living room. "Terrible. First, some lady in Toys R us was looking for exact change for like a half hour" Kagome growled as she stood up and stomped over to Sesshomaru. "Then, while I was on my way to Victoria's Secret, some youkai comes up to me talking to me about relationships or what ever. He followed me into the store and down to the car!" She continued before giving him a light peck on the lips.
Sesshomaru simply chuckled. She gave him a half hearted glare before walking into the living room. "All I want to do is go upstairs to our bathroom and take a nice hot bath before slipping into this nice new lingerie I got" Kagome sighed, walking with her eyes closed as if to relax.
When she opened them, she was faced with something she didn't expect.
"You!" She sneered.
H.C.A.H.O.
Well, what did you think? It took me a while but I did it. I'll try to update soon with all my stories. Bye bye!!
