I sat in the black SUV with sweaty palms. I could feel someone's eyes on my back, but tried to ignore it. I pulled out my iPhone. I had two texts.
One was from Sango:
Heyyyyy, chica. Wen u come bak to JP, let me kno. I NEED u to meet my new fiancee.
The other was from my mom:
Call me. : )
I did so instantly.
"Hello?"
"Mama?" I asked. I hoped the person looking at me would turn away and give me some privacy.
"Dear, I'm glad you called. You're father is going insane. He's offering to give the paper boy a thousand dollars just because you and Kouga broke up," My mom said. Dad was soooo insane…
"I'll talk to him later, Mama. Tell Souta I said hi," I said. We hung up and I risked a glance at the Mystery-Man. He was glaring at me hard. What the hell did I do?
"Father, this is Kagome. Kagome, this I my father, Inuyasha Taisho," Inumaru said and smiled. I looked at Inuyasha. He glared at me. Not too friendly, I see…
"You ran off to a foreign country with her?" Inuyasha asked. How rude!
"No, Dad. Don't be silly. I met Kagome in the airport. She needs a job so I thought you could hire her," Inumaru said. I wanted to smack the kid. He was nice, but that didn't help that his father was staring me down… or that that same stare turned me on…
"I had no idea he planned this. I just wanted to go home," I said. I want no part of this kid's plan…
"That's not what you said last night," Inumaru said, "Ow!"
I pinched him in the back. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at his son. I glared at Inumaru through the corner of my eyes.
"So, you ran off to a different country, skipped three days of school, had me and everyone else worried about you, and then spend the night with a random woman who could be your mother?" he asked coldly. How old did he think I was?
"No. I just didn't want to be home right at that moment. So, I left. I met with Kagome by chance. She didn't have any say in anything. Dad, I think you're looking at this close mindedly. I got to have a once in a lifetime experience. I probably matured more," Inumaru said. The crap was coming out so easy for him…
"Bull shit," Inuyasha said.
"Dad! Think of the positive! You have to admit- Kagome's a very beautiful woman! I could have been with an ugly troll!" I really wanted to smack Inumaru…
"Ugh! What is wrong with you! You don't seem to understand that you left the country without my permission! You could have been hurt!"
"Yeah, but dad-"
"I don't care. Give me your phone," Inuyasha said and outstretched his hand. Inumaru sighed and gave it to him. Inuyasha crushed it easily. I almost flinched.
"Dad! That was my new Evo!" Inumaru said. Damn… I've been wanting the Evo…
"Here," Inuyasha said and tossed it back to Inumaru. It's screen flickered and dies out. Inumaru looked like crying.
"Give me your wallet and iPod," Inuyasha commanded. Inumaru did do and watched as Inuyasha pulled out each credit card and broke them. Inuyasha broke the iPod. Inuyasha found some hundred dollars bills and ripped them up. He pulled out what looked like a driver's license and broke that too. I felt bad for Inumaru. Inumaru made a shrill whining sound.
Inuyasha looked dead serious as he laid out some rules, "You will go to school and you will be picked up by me or your driver to be brought straight home. You will not be going any where, but school and home. And to make sure you don't sneak out, Your new room will be the room on the top floor. The one without windows."
"Dad!" Inumaru said. "You can't do that! I need money! What about if I have an emergency at school?"
"Tough shit. Not my problem," Inuyasha said. Inumaru looked away and looked miserable. Probably not used to having no money or freedom… I would hate to have Inuyasha as a father…
"Kagome."
I looked up when Inuyasha called my name. It sounded soooooo much better when he said it.
I croaked out a dry, "Yes?"
"Where can we drop you off? I am very sorry for my son's forwardness and any trouble he may have caused you," he said, but he wasn't looking at me. He was on his Blackberry.
"It's okay. He's just a boy. I have a place on-" I started, but couldn't finished. In my "So high, I'm flying on love" phase I'd sold my apartment and was planning on moving in with- ugh, Kouga…
Inuyasha looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Instead, I'll get a cab. I don't want to bother you with anything."
Inuyasha was about to say something, when the song "Stacy's Mom" began playing. It sounded weak and deformed. It was coming from Inumaru's crumpled Evo. I stared down at it.
The SUV pulled to a stop and I went forward. Damn this slippery dress! But, I never hit the ground. What the hell? Inumaru's dad changed p the SUV so the back seats faced each other instead of facing forward. I was supposed to hit black carpet. I felt arms around me.
I looked up and Inuyasha's arms were around me. It was kind of weird considering his hand was awfully close to my right boob…
"Kagome?" went Inumaru's concerned voice. I sat up and looked at him with thankfulness. He wasn't that bad a kid…
"I'm fine," I said.
"Yes, you are."
I turned. A man with short black that was parted down the middle (it kind of looked like James' from Pokemon, but not so stiff and more bouncy.) He smirked and came into the SUV. Was I being gangbanged?
I sat in my seat. Inumaru came closer to me, but my eyes were on the guy who just came into the SUV. He sat next to Inuyasha and stared at me. Could he see up my dress?
"Inuyasha, where did you find such a wonderful specimen of female beauty?" he asked. I would have blushed I if wasn't getting such a weird vibe from the guy…
"Shut up, Miroku," Inuyasha said.
"Don't tell me! You're the lucky man dating this wonderful female?" Miroku said. For the first time, Inuyasha blushed. Was he sensitive about being in a relationship with a woman?
Inumaru offered me a piece of gum and I took it. I could trust Inumaru… I think. We watched as Inuyasha and Miroku argued. I preferred to pop my gum on the inside of my mouth to avoid getting it on my face and it sounded loud and rude.
POP, went my gum… Miroku and Inuyasha stopped arguing at once. They looked at me and I did my all-finger-waggle-wave at them. Miroku smirked and did it back. An engagement ring stood out on his hand. Inuyasha glared at Miroku.
"They do this a lot. It just means my dad finds you attractive," Inumaru said. TMI…
"Why don't I get out here?" I asked. My day had enough craziness as it is. I texted Sango asking for the directions to her place.
"Right here?" Miroku asked. I looked out the window. We were almost to the old child care center I worked at.
My phone vibrated. 12 Kazu Street.
"How about we drop you off at an actual place?" Inuyasha asked.
"12 Kazu Street then," I said.
Miroku looked suspicious of me. "Why there?"
"I have a friend who lives there."
"Sango lives there?" Inumaru asked. I popped my gum and nodded to him. That's great cause Miroku's engaged to Sango!"
I froze. Oh, look at that! 12 Kazu Street! The vehicle stopped, I got out, Miroku got out, and Inumaru tried to come out and barely missed Inuyasha's hand. Inumaru came up to me and attacked me. His arms were around me and he was acting like a child.
"Please, don't go! If you go he'll totally kill me! I don't want to die young and handsome!" he wailed. What does he want? Old and hideous?
Inuyasha sighed and came for Inumaru. This would be cuter if Inumaru were about twelve years younger…
"What's going on out here?" I turned and there she was. A slightly fatter version of Sango Taijya. She smiled and the frowned. She looked confused.
"Inuyasha, Inumaru, Miroku, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Visiting," Miroku said.
"But, now we're leaving," Inuyasha said. Inumaru hid his face from Inuyasha. Which meant his face was in…my...boobs… Not cool…
Inuyasha froze and watched me. I looked at him and sent a silent massage. Get him off!
Inuyasha stood there and watched. If he was watching my boobs, I swear I'll murder him.
"That's enough, Inumaru," Sango said.
And that's how it happened… That's how Inuyasha Taisho came into my life and left it…
I was currently sitting on Sango's couch with a tub of ice cream on my lap. Vanilla-Strawberry swirl, yum! I sucked on the spoon in my pj's. Sango was out buying maternity clothes with Miroku at Baby Gap. She was preggers… not a full month, yet. She was pregnant through the last few days we saw each other… I'm not mad she hadn't told me about Miroku.
She wanted to keep her rich, perverted, lawyer of a boyfriend to herself. I don't care…
I heard the doorbell rang and I sadly put down my ice cream to get it. I adjusted my blue tank top and went to the door. Sango's home was a two floor, modest home in a suburban area.
I opened the door.
"Hi, Kagome!" Inumaru yelled. He was in a white button up shirt with dirt stains that was out of his pants and navy blue pants. Black converse were on his feet. He had a basketball tucked under his arm. A smudge of dirt was on his face. I wiped it off. He seemed truly happy to see me.
Well, I am easily missed… It had only been five days, though.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. Then, my tank top and shorts combo didn't feel so comfortable. Inuyasha Taisho came up behind Inumaru and looked straight at me. It felt like he was setting me on fire.
! ! !
"Inuyasha?" I asked, breathlessly.
"Kagome. May we come in?" he asked. I nodded dumbly and moved to the side. They walked in. I will only say this once. NO man can fill out a suit like Inuyasha Taisho. His hair was pulled back in a rubber band at the nape of his neck. He looked completely put together, unlike his son. I followed them into the living room. We all sat down together. Inumaru reached for my left ice cream, but Inuyasha smacked his hands away. Inumaru pouted.
"Kagome, I has come to my attention that you haven't been to work in the last five days" Inuyasha said. What the hell?
