Things I Like
Well…I have no excuse. It's updated now. Merry Christmas!
Chapter 7:
The day after
The girls grinned at each other from ear to ear, waiting for the call they knew was supposed to come. Currently they were out getting supplies for the barbeque before sending out the invitation to Kikyo's new boyfriend, and their boyfriends as well.
Kagome's phone rang and she picked it up quickly. "Moshi moshi." There was a pause for a minute before she responded again. "Yes tonight, geez Souta, how many times am I supposed to tell you this?" She kidded, listening to the response. "Alright…your on speaker."
~Listen, you have to promise you wont do anything. And I mean anything.~
They looked at each other, gathering closer around the phone while absentmindedly grabbing a gallon of milk.
"We're listening." Sango said.
Ayame smiled. "I promise."
~All of you need to promise.~
They sighed, "We promise." They stated, now grabbing some hot dogs and barbeque sauce.
~I'm inviting my girlfriend, I swear if you do anything to her, I will hurt you.~
"You have our word." Kagome stated with a grin, then said, "Be at Kikyo's by five." Then she hung up, pocketing the phone just as Kikyo's phone rang.
She looked at the caller and told the others to hush. "Moshi moshi." She said in her normal tone, while the others finished the shopping list so they could leave. By the time they got back over to her, she wore a grin and the phone was once more in her pocket.
"So? What's up?" Ayame asked, placing the last bit of food into the cart. The group waited somewhat patiently for the response.
Kikyo grinned back. "He doesn't suspect a thing." She laughed lightly while the others did the same. The cashier smiled at them kindly, with a hint of curiosity while they paid her what they owed for the groceries.
"Have a nice day" She called to them, they nodded back at her.
"You as well." Ayame replied with a wave. The two went out the door and stuffed everything into the car before getting in themselves and putting the cart away.
They drove away to the house to get ready as fast as possible.
Hours later—
Everything was close to being done and people were just starting to come over when they noticed Inuyasha park his car in the front yard.
Kikyo left them to greet him. The girls watched the interaction with a cautious eye.
Souta walked up behind them, his girlfriend over by the table. "Don't tell me you stole from him too."
The three jumped, turning to greet him. "It wasn't stealing. It was borrowing without permission." Sango stated with a shrug.
"Yeah, we're giving it back." Ayame said while turning back to look outside.
"Right now in fact." Kagome finished as she watched Kikyo slip the watch into Inuyasha's pocket without his knowledge. "It's given back. Now where's this girl you were talking about?" She asked, Dragging Souta away from the window.
"Mayuri," Souta called, causing a girl with short brown hair and brown eyes to turn towards them. Both Souta and his girlfriend were somewhere in their teens. "This is my sister, Kagome. Kagome, my girlfriend Mayuri."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mayuri-chan." Kagome smiled, shaking her hand.
"You as well, Kagome-san." Mayuri replied, slightly more at ease then she was previously.
"And don't worry about not making any friends here, I'm sure everyone that you meet will be excited to have you in the family." Kagome said. "We're all nice here."
"That's great to hear." She whispered slightly nervous again before being bombarded by the last three of Kagome's friends while Inuyasha stood somewhat off to the side.
"Hey, Inu. How's it going?" Kagome asked, watching as his happy façade changed to one of anger.
"Not good. Some bastards came and stole my watch and who knows what else in the house while my family was all there." He glowered.
"That's too bad. Do you have insurance?" She asked, picking up a pie and placing it on the porch.
"Yes, but that doesn't matter! They stole from me and that's that."
"Alright, just curious. No need to get angry."
They went through the rest of the day easily enough and by the time it reached eight o'clock, everyone was starting to leave.
At the Taisho mansion---
Inuyasha got out of his car, walking into his house and pocketing his keys when he felt it. He pulled out his hand and his watch came with it. A frown marred his face as he stared incredulously at the object.
"What the hell…"
To Be Continued…
Yeah…her you are.
