You Killed my father
Chapter four: New Ideas turned Professional
A five year old Kagome was sitting with a blue sundress that her mother just purchased her inside of a shopping mall. Her family had been going out shopping. Her grandfather had brought her two eldest sisters to a toy store. Kagome had chosen to stay behind. Instead, she was looking at her mother's bright yellow buttoned up the full front sundress. Her mother had a stern face on her as she bit her lower lip staring at a kimono.
"What is wrong mommy?" Kagome said as she stood up on the bench. She looked into her mother's eyes that seemed to glisten with sadness.
"The boy that killed your father, he wore a red kimono." Her mother said through a tear.
Kagome had gotten up in her bedroom. How many dreams must I have? I mean, can't I just be told who it is. Must I always have these dreams! Kagome stretched out wide. She had passed out with her last nights clothing on. I am so lucky my sister is strong enough to carry me drunk ass out of a bar. She grabbed the bottle of Tylenol and full water bottle that her sister was nice enough to leave beside her night stand. Promise me, I will never do that again. She got down the two pills of medicine with a big gulp of water.
Kagome moved her tired feet to move to her closet. There she pulled out a tank top low V neck sundress that it opened at her mid-chest. It had a white two inch white ribbon around just below the chest area and tied up at the side. She pulled out white flip-flops from below. A bra and a underwear from her dresser. Once she got all of the clothing, she moved into the bathroom area.
After twenty minutes of being inside the bathroom, she finally emerged in the clothing. Her damp brushed hair was let lose and to her left side. She moved her way down to the kitchen.
She started to make coffee and pancakes for everyone. Moving a big plate of the pancakes to the table she looked around. She got her coffee this time having Irish coffee mate inside of it and two sugars. She moved to her spot with the coffee and another plate.
Kagome was just about to grab herself some pancakes when she heard a noise. She looked to see Rin coming down. Rin was dressed in a strapless gold metallic corset topped dress that went and waved out to the bottom of the dress. The dress went down to her lower thigh. Her hair was done up with half in a pony-tail at the back and the rest flowing down; and. she had two small strands of hair at the front. She wore a golden three strands danging hooped earrings. She had the same heart shaped necklace that she wore to greet Sesshomaru. She grabbed a plate and a cup of coffee.
"You know, last night, Sesshomaru and I made love. It had been so long since he told me he loves me. I think he almost forgot he told me that he loves me when we first kissed." Rin said as she sat beside Kagome and grabbed one pancake. Rin was eating when she noticed that Kagome had not grabbed any yet. "Eh, was I suppose to wait?"
"No, you just starled me is all." Kagome said as she grabbed her own two pancakes. "Oh I forgot the maple syrup." She went and grabbed the maple syrup and sat back down. "Well, it just proves that he loves you. I am getting the feeling that he is a man of few words. And, the words he does speak are important when he does."
"Yes, he doesn't like to waste time with talking." Rin said as she used the maple syrup then took a bite.
"Urg, I hate today." Kagome said as she dropped her head. Why was I such a fool last night?
"Then, maybe you should not have been came that intoxicated last night. I mean after all, you are under age. Technology speaking, you shouldn't even be drinking!" Sango said as she made her presences known. Sango had her hair flowing loosely. She was wearing a black short sleeve cotton sweater-dress that went down to her mid-chest area. It flowed out at the bottom and stopped at her knee. She had no make-up nor jewelry on. "I do not like carrying family members simply because they are too wasted to know what is what." Sango said as she made her way to grab a cup of coffee.
"Yes, Sango." Kagome said as she felt embarrassed.
Sango put in the cream and sugar. "Kikyo is amazing, she has the breakfast hot yet in the shower."
"I doubt Kikyo did it. I think it was more Kagome." Rin said. "I think it was her way of apologizing." I hope they don't get into too much of a fight. Sango hates people who drink too much because a lot of the criminals she deals with is good people who do stupid things when drunk. Although, I don't get why Kagome got so drunk last night.
Just then, Kikyo came into the room. She was wearing a white lace-trim baby doll dress that showed no chest and cupped her shoulders. It fell straight down from her chest to not show a lot of curves. It went to her mid-thigh length. Her hair was done up in a tight bun. She was wearing a large silver bracelet that sparked. "Mmm, I smelled breakfast. Who got up and did it?"
"Apparently Kagome." Sango said as she nodded Kagome's way. "Coffee, Kikyo?"
"If you would be so kind." Kikyo said as she grabbed both her and Sango a plate each. Sango made Kikyo a cup of coffee with cream and sugar inside of it. "I wish I could start a new restaurant. But, I have no credit to my name. I can't put this house on if I was to ever go bankrupt."
"Who is going bankrupt?" Sesshomaru said as he entered the room. He wore a single breasted gray two-button signori suit. His dress jacket had been left undone. He had a white shirt underneath it which had two of the top buttons undone. Sesshomaru had on a black belt.
"I was just weighing my options out loud. I want to start a business but I don't know how. I feel like such a failure before I even begin!" Kikyo said as she sipped on her coffee and got her pancakes. She sat down. I wish there was some way to point me in the right direction.
"I am sorry Kikyo. There is nothing I can do." Sango asked reaching for the pancakes. She was also now siting down.
"Why are you getting so stressed before you even begin?" Rin asked gently.
"I want to open a new restaurant and I don't know how!" Kikyo stated as she started to whine.
"So, you are completely and utterly stuck?" Sesshomaru asked. "How did we even get started on this whole adventure in the first place?'
"It is my birthday soon, I am getting so old." Kikyo explained. "I want to reach my dreams. And, in the morning sometimes I am whining."
"I shall loan you the money. I will have one of my lawyers make a contract to protect both parties. After the meal I tasted last night, I do not doubt your abilities. If you agree to my terms there will be no interest." Sesshomaru explained while he got himself a black coffee and sat down. He grabbed two pancakes.
"And they are?" Kikyo asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Condition number one, you agree to ultimately pay for the contract and the lawyers time."
"agreed, I hope I can do it after I open and by monthly."
"Agreed. Condition number two, you agree to have a branding coach of whom I deem fit and pay the price."
"How do I know whether or not it would be a good branding coach?"
"I will sect three different coaches with different abilities. You may choose one of those three. Do not worry, I will be picking out of the coaches I personally have used and made thousands if not millions on their advice."
"Fine, then, agreed."
"Condition number three, I or someone I deem appropriate can assist you with picking the location."
"Why does location matter? Wouldn't cost and everything matter more?"
"Well, you are right with that one. I will assist you myself with ensuring everything is priced right. But, in all business it is about location, location, and location. You need to be near enough to the community of your who you are catering your meals to. So, my condition still stands."
"Well, if your willing to help me with weighing the cost and price of everything then I can agree to ensuring that I choose the right location."
"Final condition, if my life's partner and or I need a place to have a business meeting we can do it at your place with a ten percent deduction on the total food and drink cost."
"Agreed."
"I want any of you women to feel free to come to me for business advice." Sesshomaru nodded at Sango and Kagome. "My door is always open to those I trust."
"I do not mean to intrude on you assisting my sisters out." Rin smiled as Sesshomaru had finished his meal. She cleaned up both her and his spot. "But, we have the meeting."
Rin and Sesshomaru had stood in front of an empty three-story building. It was twenty by twenty feet long. The front of it looked grey and damp. It obviously needed another paint job to make this look like a fetching new place. It had a large red for-sale sign at the french door entrance. There was a place for the a sign to go at the top of the french doors and a large sign closer to the road. It had a ten-by-ten parking spot in front of the building.
"Well, here goes nothing." Rin said as she opened the glass door. The building smelled of old damp areas. But, there was no mold smell coming from anywhere. "Well, so far so good."
The inside of the building had several windows around the area. There was a secret elevator at the back, which was extremely dark. There was absolutely no furniture anywhere. The room was painted a solid brown color. The red carpet had looked like it was strained by something black.
Sesshomaru was busy taking notes on his black pad of paper. Rin knew the more that Sesshomaru wrote down the more work the areas had to make it tip-top shape. But, the deal was particularly a steal and their extreme left over budget could make this place look dashing.
A short brown hair woman approached them. She had blue eyes. She was very tanned and looked six months pregnant. She had a black buttoned up tank-top blouse on. A white to the knee long skirt. She had on black high heels. She smiled gently showing her bright white teeth. She had on smoky eyeshadow and pink lip-gloss. She was five foot but her shoes boosted her up to five-foot-five. She smelled of strawberries. "Good morning." she said gently with a confident sounding voice.
"Hello, I am Rin. He is Sesshomaru." Rin smiled at the girl.
"My name is Sarah. I will be giving you a tour of this place. As you can already see there is some repairs that need to be done. If you would follow me to the elevator." Sarah said as she lead the way. After both were in she pushed the top floor.
The top floor was looking much brighter with many more windows. It had grey paint on it. There was good solid hard-wood flooring. This room had no notes on for Sessshomaru to write down. It had the feeling of an office space, with still a lack of furniture.
"It is sound proof, so it is great for meetings or stretching. I learned that you were a fashion designer." Sarah explained.
"Yeah, this room almost doesn't have anything that it needs." Rin agreed. Expect for maybe a better color on the walls, and actual furniture.
"Well, there is one more level to show you." Sarah said as she pushed the bottom level button.
On the bottom level, it was dark and bleak. It looked like the whole space only had three windows and barely any light. There was dark grey cement as flooring. Sesshomaru shined a light at the area, and saw that it had no mold on anything. A small grey rat came running towards them.
Sarah started to freak out. She fainted almost going to land falling on top of her stomach; but, Sesshomaru grabbed her and started to carry her bridal style. Rin pushed the first floor button. They went to the middle of the room on the first level. Sesshomaru carefully laid down the woman.
"Oh my goodness, what happened?" Sarah asked as she finally awoke.
"You fainted." Sesshomaru said. He was starting to slowly raise.
"My baby! Please tell me, I didn't fall on my baby! I am seven months pregnant!" Sarah grabbed on to Sesshomaru's arm.
"You only look six months." Rin said. "But, no, you didn't fall on your baby - my sweetie caught you before it."
"If you are having such issues, you should not be at work. Go take some maternity time off." Sesshomaru stated.
"Well, you see, you guys were the last clients I was suppose to deal with. I had earlier sent in my maternity sheet. I didn't have the maternity sheet in when I booked you. So, I was requested to help you both." Sarah explained. "I agreed."
"You shouldn't stress you or your baby out too much. But, I will take the place. We will go to the office and instruct them to do the sheet. I will ensure you get the commission." Rin said as she smiled. "After all, you almost took a nose-dive to help us."
"Wow, you seem so nice. Do you have any children?" Sarah said as she let go of Sesshomaru's hand.
"No, but I have a worry-wrat for a sister." Rin said. Kagome, be safe.
Kagome was sitting at her bedroom chair looking over her laptop and her homework. She was just about to get into more studying when she was suffering the net. There were so many people out there that had absolutely no idea about law. It was kind of irritating her about the lack of knowledge. Kagome had opened a blog using a free program. Since she was not fully in the law school, she titled it from a University student. She was answering the questions that she found online and then made a note to ask for more questions.
She heard her phone ring. "Hello?"
"Hey Kagome! It is me, Kikyo! Sesshomaru found me a great place to start the business. I believe that Rin and I are going to have an joined Grand Opening day next week. Maybe you can invite some of your friends." Kikyo spoke through the phone.
"Why couldn't you wait until you came home to ask me that?" Kagome sighed.
"Well, it is simply really. I am looking for new furniture for the restaurant! I am just waiting for this branding guy to show up. He was suppose to be here like fifteen minutes ago. Sesshomaru said that he was running half an hour late. But, both of them are coming."
"Yeah, are you sure your not just excited?" Kagome laughed as she said that.
"Well, maybe that too." Kikyo agreed slightly.
"Alright, well have fun shopping!" Kagome teased as she hanged up her phone. You know, maybe it would be great to invite him to it...
Kouga was dressed up in black jeans had a rip on the left side knee. The jeans had a grass stain on the left knee. He had a brown shirt on that read 'I have two lists. The first list is for my friends. The second list is for people who irritate me and must pay the price. Talk to me and your be on the second list.' His hair was let out. He had white running shoes on. He looked very relaxed.
He went to the end of the grocery store where the meat was stationed. He stared at several different choices. I believe that this would be the best choice. He thought as he picked up the pork for making sandwiches. Although, it is so hard trying to pick something for someone else to like it. He headed into the bun area. I hope she likes this picnic. I should get her flowers to. I wonder what she is doing right now.
Kouga grabbed his cell-phone from his pocket. "Hello." He answered. Although he had caller-ID, he was too busy to look at the name.
"Hey Kouga!" Kagome's voice came through the phone line.
"I thought you were still mad at me. It is wonderful to hear your sweet voice." Kouga smirked. He grabbed whole wheat buns.
"I am sorry about getting so mad earlier. Really, I shouldn't have done that. It was kind of - "
"No, I should have made my intentions clear. I plan on doing that very soon." He studied the buns and then placed them into his cart. "Just have your schedule ready."
"Well, before you tell me your intentions, please accompany me to two different grand openings. Rin is opening her new fashion store in the morning next week. Kikyo is then opening her restaurant that night."
"It would be my honor. Anything else, my woman?" He smirked through the phone.
Kagome laughed thinking it was a joke. "Nope, bye."
Kouga then heard a click. They seem very close sisters. I wonder if Kagome has anymore sisters, that I haven't already meet.
"Pervert!" Sango yelled as she slapped Miroku's face; because, he had just grabbed her butt. Sango was wearing the same thing as earlier while getting working on the stuff for the shrine. Sango put down the new order of charms into the store. The female customers all went crazy over the love, good luck, and fortune charms. The boys went wild for the being tougher charms, and fortune charms. Adults tend to buy more of the romance, feeling better, and more money charms. "Well, just don't stand there groping me! Grab a box and make yourself useful."
Miroku stood wearing a pair of black jeans that fit him comfortably and had no rips. He had a tight silky purple dress shirt on that he undone did the first two buttons on. He then had a black jean jacket to fit loosely on top. He smelled of chocolate Axe spray. "Hmm, why should I? I don't work here." Sango's death glare quickly made him change his mind. "Alright, already, I'll grab one my sweet Sango."
"I ain't your sweet nothin'. You go running off to all these co-workers and you have never given me the time of day! Why the hell should I be anything but just plain Sango to you?" Sango yelled.
Miroku placed down the box with the rest of them. Then, grabbed her hands. "Sango, please do not fear. I just thought you were one of the guys, before." Sango glared at him harder. "I mean is, we worked so close together it seemed like you wouldn't mind. Please Sango, if you intend to have me hit on you more, I will." He rubbed her butt. "Trust me, I have truly realized how beautiful you are."
"Pervert!" Sango slapped him again.
Sesshomaru appeared in front of Sango and Miroku. He had left his suit jacket inside. "Is there a problem here? This Sesshomaru could hear you yelling inside of the home. This Sesshomaru is trying to get work done for Rin." He crossed his arms.
Sango glared at Miroku. "Just someone keeps rubbing my ass! I am busy trying to get these boxes inside before the rush of more people come to our shrine. It is only opened during certain hours because that is when I can spend the time. Kikyo helps sometimes; but, I doubt with her new business that she would have the time anymore. Kagome helps only in the summer time. I feel so tired; but, I must continue. I am sorry for the noise."
Sesshomaru stared at Sango. "Why did you not come and tell this Sesshomaru this morning? Kikyo and this Sesshomaru already started the plans on her new business. The offices are closed. You, pervert, do something useful and continue the set up. This Sesshomaru will pay you a hundred dollars while this Sesshomaru prepare a business plan for the girls' shrine with Sango."
"Alright, done deal." Miroku went back to his work.
"When, should I announce the changes to my sisters? Shouldn't I talk it over with them?"
"They would be very busy opening their own businesses. You must tell them at the Grand Opening dinner."
The restaurant was jammed packed. It had looked like a very expensive and exclusive Asian food restaurant. The table clothes were red and had a wishing tree as a decoration. There was white plates and a small white bowl for food. There was rice already waiting for the people. There was Chinese lanterns above. It smelled of incense around the room. The table was made out of red wood and chairs that were also made out of the same wood expect for had some cushion below for the seat. The male waiters were dressed in white kimono shirts with red kimono bottoms. The girl waitresses had on tight Chinese red dresses.
Kagome studied everything around the room. She was wearing a black Korean styled dress which had long net sleeves went up to above her chest and went as a mini on the bottom. She paired it with golden hoops, a fake gold necklace that went down to her chest, and matching gold platforms. Her hair was done up in a tight French braid. She had smoky make-up and shiny pink lip-gloss. She put on strawberry perfume. She went up to the black booth where the hostess was supposed to be. "This place is gorgeous."
The hostess came to her hearing her say that. She was in a black Chinese dress with a red dragon around the bottom. She had her hair up in a bun and two sticks coming out of it. She had lightly brown eyeshadow and red lipstick. She was wearing black flat shoes which made people notice she was five feet tall, exactly. She was very petite. "Thank you, I will let our owner know you think so."
Kouga standing beside Kagome wrapped an arm around her. He was wearing a lightly silver dress shirt done up to his collar. He had black dress pants that really made his muscular legs noticeable. He had on a black six buttoned suit jacket. His hair was done up in a bun and tucked into his collar; so, it would appear that he didn't have long hair. He smelled of chocolate. "I am sure, Kagome can tell her that herself."
"I am sorry. I don't understand." The hostess replied. "Our owner works in the kitchen."
"Perhaps this would explain it better. My reservation is under Higurashi."
The hostess bowed her head. "Oh, then your the final sister. Your party already arrived. They said you were getting dressed and waiting for someone. Follow me." The hostess walked to the back of the room where there was a red door slider. She slide the door opened and waited for both to enter. "Your waitress will be with you shortly." She explained.
There was a large circular table. With a larger wishing tree that instead of dinging with paper, like the rest out front, dinged with crystal. There was crystal table setting with stainless steel spoons, forks, and knifes. The table was made out of maple wood. There was individual soft-liked red chairs with maple wood. The table could easily fit all of the girls along with a partner, and another couple. There was two white bottles of sake along with tiny white cups around the table. There was also a large bowl of rice for people to start eating.
Kouga moved to two empty chairs and pulled one out for Kagome. Kagome sat down at the chair. "Thank you. Let me introduce the people you haven't meet yet."
"Well, I know Rin. Nice new designer clothing store you have by the way." Kouga nodded at her.
Rin was dressed up in cream colored dress that went to her knees. The dress had been done in a square neckline and had long sleeves. She matched it with soft cream eyeshadow and very light pink lip-gloss. She had her hair up in a cream colored bow. She had matching cream colored shoes. She chose not to match it with any jewelry. "Thank you."
Kagome waved to the man that was sitting on Rin's left and her immediately to Kagome's right. "This here is Sesshomaru. He is Rin's brother and the brother of Inuyasha."
Sesshomaru left his hair down. He had on a Flying Golden Fire Dragon Wadded jacket and black dress pants. He nodded at Kouga. "Inuyasha is my half brother. How do you two know Inuyasha?" He spat the words out of his mouth. Don't tell me, he is close to my half brother.
"Well, I am Kagome's TA. Inuyasha is in our discussion group." Kouga explained. "Although, to be honest with you, Inuyasha is an annoyance. He keeps getting into fights with everyone in my class."
Just then, Inuyasha walked into the sliding door over hearing the conversation. He was wearing a red kimono for males. He sat down beside the chair that Kouga was about to sit down at. "Hello half-brother. Hello TA. Are you guys plotting against me?" He said in an annoyed voice.
"No, damn it. And why the fuck are you here?" Sesshomaru yelled.
"I am close with the owner. Thinking about asking her to be mine. If, you catch my drift." He poured some sake for himself and winked.
"I was just telling your brother how you always pick fights at my discussion group."
"Half brother!" Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru yelled in unison.
"Whatever!" Kouga yelled frustrated.
"And, it is not my fault, they shouldn't be so idiotic!" Inuyasha growled.
"Let's just agree to disagree and have a pleasant dinner." Kagome said getting in the middle of all the yelling.
"Fine!" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha agreed.
"Yes, Kagome." Kouga said gently as he took his seat. "Anyways, continue with the introductions."
"The girl sitting beside Rin is named Sango. She is my fourth and last sister." Kagome waved across the table.
Sango was wearing a black silky tube-top dress that went down to her knees. The dress had on a extra back material that was semi-see through on top of the silk. Her hair was left down. She had a golden heart shaped necklace with white beads around it. She had put on green eyeshadow to match with her green high heels. She smelled like Jasmine. "Hey-o!"
"The man that is sitting beside her is called Miroku. They are each others police partner." Kagome explained.
Miroku had some of his hair in a pony-tail. He wore a purple Calligraphy jacket with golden embroidery. He had on black stripped buttons to tie the shirt together. He had on black pants. "Wow, I feel like the outcast. I am not the family and I don't know anyone else here besides Sango." He said as he touched his golden hooped earring.
"I don't think it should matter. As long as you were invited here by one of the sisters. It was just a consequence that I know Inuyasha and he also happens to be Sesshomaru's brother." Kouga responded. "I am just happy to be here with Kagome to support her two different sisters." Kouga cupped Kagome's cheek.
"Thank you for going to the two grand openings." Kagome said gently.
Kouga took the hand off of Kagome and poured himself a glass of sake. "No worries."
"Oh, and everyone, I have an announcement!" Sango said happily. "I have looked into how to make the shrine more profitable with Sesshomaru's help."
"Wow, congratulations Sango!" Rin smiled. "I know how much that place means to you and Kagome; although, Kagome is busy with school." Rin smiled.
"Speaking of school. I also started a blog for people to ask me questions about what I am studying!" Kagome smiled.
"Wow, so like all the sisters are putting new or old ideas and trying to turn them professional!" Miroku said shocked.
A/N: Please read and review. Also, who do you think killed their father? More clues are on their way.
