Chapter Eight

She absently strummed her fingers along the desk where the phone resided; she had been playing this game for awhile now. She's dialed the number and hears the voice of the other line say "hello' then quickly hangs up. It has been some time now since Kagome had left Sango and her friends so abruptly and she was seriously starting to regret it.
Kagome was always the type of person who could never stay mad at someone for too long. Yes her friends hurt her, but she was not only hurting her friends with her absence but also herself. She needed them.
Not as if things were bad for her right now, she was living in one of the most beautiful places in the world and dating a charming man whom she met at an Italian café and she wasn't in a coma to boot!
Her life was starting to make sense again. But she couldn't help but feel the pangs of guilt for treating Sango and she did and couldn't help but miss the friends that she loved.
With resolve, Kagome dialed the number once again.
"Hello! I swear to Jesus that if you call one more time I will call the cops on your god forsaken ass you…" Sango yelled
"It's Kagome."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"I can't believe he still doesn't know!" Inuyasha fumed as they all sat around waiting for Sesshoumaru and Kagura to arrive. Apparently Kagura wanted to meet all of Sesshoumaru's close friends
"I can't believe you know! Only I was supposed to know!" Sango whispered back, "Wait I have a phone call…'hello?...' no one is there"
"You told Miroku!" Inuyasha retorted as he fidgeted impatiently, he was not looking forward to seeing his future sister in law.
"He is my boyfriend, of course I would tell him." Sango answered, "Who keeps calling me? …'hello?...' they hung up again."
"Yea, so what? I can't believe that you told Kikyo before me!" Inuyasha said while he waved his finger angrily at her
"I didn't tell her, she was eavesdropping on my conversation." Sango countered
"I wasn't eavesdropping; I overheard you while I was passing by." Kikyo calmly replied
"Same difference! When are those two going to get here?" Sango said, "Oh my god, I am going to throw my phone out the window! …'hello!!...' dam they keep hanging up!"
"I can believe you guys didn't tell us!" Rin said frustrated with all the bickering, just put your phone on silent.
"I know, we all have the right to know, she was one of our best friends too after all" Shippo added
"Yea, well I promised Kagome and if she knows that I told you then I'll look like a bitch!" Sango exclaimed
"How will she know? She is in Italy for god sakes." Rin answered
"We all just have to keep our mouths shut around Sesshoumaru." Sango warned
"And we all can't forget Kagura and Sara." Miroku said, "Is Sara coming tonight by the way?"
"Yes, let's have a dinner party with the bride and invite the mistress." Inuyasha said sarcastically, then pointed to Sango's silent phone that was illuminated signaling an incoming call "Someone is calling you; Put it on speakerphone so we all can yell at whoever this punk is."
"Sweet Jesus, this person doesn't quit! Hello asshole! I swear to Jesus that if you call one more time I will call the cops on your god forsaken ass you…" Sango yelled
"It's Kagome." Sango heard on the other line. Everyone was silent.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
He was in hell, he had come to the conclusion that he had died and was just living in hell. He was thinking of how being consumed in a raging fire would be less painful than listening to the chatter of this insistent woman who he loathed to call his fiancé.
They has started to spend more time together, especially since with wedding was approaching soon. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized he would spend the rest of his day in misery.
This diabolical, putrid creature that was given the name Kagura had to be the most annoying, manipulative, self centered woman he has ever come across. He was sure that she was the anti-Christ.
Maybe he was being over dramatic…or maybe not
Tonight he would have to subject his friends to a night with this woman, he was not excited about it, and he found her to be quite embarrassing.
"Our children with be very attractive don't you think Taisho?" Kagura said as she was applying and obnoxious color to her lips, "Well if they aren't there is always plastic surgery. Ugh, giving birth just seems so nasty; maybe we can get a surrogate."
"I don't even want to think of the children you would spawn." Sesshoumaru answered while he drove to Inuyasha's apartment; he was disgusted of the prospect of reproducing with this woman, he knew she would be a horrible mother and any child coming from her womb was bound to be doomed
"ARE WE ALMOST THERE?" Kagura yelled
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Kagome?" Sango whispered, "Is that really you?"
"I'm sorry Sango." Kagome sincerely said, "I was angry, but I never should have shut you all out of my life."
"Never, I am just so glad you called." Sango said in a near sob, and then laughed, "I wish you called sooner, everyone misses you!"
"I'm assuming you told Inuyasha, Miroku, Shippo and Rin." Kagome giggled
"How did you know? Well, I guess you know me too well" Sango lightly laughed, "But I only told Miroku because he is my boyfriend now, everyone else found out in their own way"
"HE IS YOUR WHAT?" Kagome said excitedly and heard a roar of laughter in the background, "finally my god… Am I on speakerphone? Who is with you?"
"Miroku, Inuyasha, Shippo, Rin and Kikyo" Sango answered and everyone yelled "Hi" "I miss you" "I can't wait to see you"
After everyone calmed down, "…who is Kikyo?" Kagome asked
"She is my woman." Inuyasha answered
"It is nice to finally hear your voice Kagome." Kikyo warmly said, "I've heard so many great things about you."
"I am so glad that Inuyasha has finally found a girl who is willing to put up with him" Kagome joked, then she timidly asked, "So you guys don't hate me do you?"
"Who would we hate you?" Rin asked
"Because I didn't tell you that I woke up."
"We could never hate you Kagome." Shippo said
"Good, cause I am planning to come visit next week." Kagome informed them with a sign of relief, "Well I have to go you guys, and I have so much to tell you. I can't wait to see you…but please you guys…don't tell him."
"You don't even need to ask." Sango replied and then after everyone said their goodbye to Kagome she hung up
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"We're here." Sesshoumaru flatly said
"Finally" Kagura grunted as she strutted out of the car and toward Inuyasha's apartment
"Why isn't the door opening?" Kagura yelled as she tried to open the door to the apartment building
"You have to have a key you twit." Sesshoumaru said in a bored manner
"Ugh! That is the dumbest thing I ever heard." Kagura muttered
"You are the dumbest thing I have ever heard." Sesshoumaru let himself into his brother's apartment to find the mood very…suspicious
Some were in near tears from joy; while others just held huge grins on their faces, but everyone beamed with excitement…something wasn't right, never has he found this crowd so happy to see him.
"What is wrong with you people?" Sesshoumaru inquired
"Nothing! We are just happy to see you." Rin answered quickly
"…sure" Sesshoumaru said, whatever had them on such a happy high was no care to him
"Let's get this over with" Inuyasha groaned as he plopped himself on his sofa
The air was very awkward, normally it wouldn't be, but with Kagura thrown into the mix, it just destroyed the usual mood.
Even when Sara was with them they all managed to have a good time.
However, now Sesshoumaru, Kagura, Miroku, Inuyasha Shippo and Rin sat in the living room while Sango and Kikyo were still visible in the kitchen cooking dinner for the past hour. It was very quiet, they didn't know what to say to each other and you could cut the tension with a spoon.
Rin finally decided to strike up a conversation, "So next week should be fun right Sesshy? Aren't we all going golfing like old times, just don't give me a golf cart" Rin laughed, "As we all know I can't drive them."
"Yes Rin." Sesshoumaru answered
"Yeah, especially with Kagome being back and all" Inuyasha absently muttered then instantly froze realizing this rather huge mistake
He froze as well for a moment, as if trying to process that was just muttered and then sharply glared at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru dangerously asked, "What did you just say?"
