Inuyasha

Chapter 5: Disconnected

Since that night, Kagome never replied him, in fact it has been about a week or so that she has not replied his calls, and message. Kagome would never answer his call to her phone or answer the door when he visited her home. And it was starting to worry him as he would more than often message her on a daily basis and even trying to call her phone whenever he has time to.

Kagome closes her eyes as she recalls the day that they had went out to have dinner. It was still somewhat of a shock to her on his confession. It was really not something that she had expected.

"Stop joking around Miroku," Kagome said her voice shaking a little as she looked at him in disbelieve.

Her mind was slow in registering what he had just told her, she had long since locked most of her emotions away since that bad break with Inuyasha. Shunning just about everyone except him who forced his way through, and it was not too long after his own break up with Sango.

She saw the hurt in his eyes, but more so, she saw the fear of being rejected in them that scares her. Kagome was unsure of how she had felt and apologizes to him before leaving the place as she walked away as fast as she could to put distance between them, knowing well that Miroku will come after her.

It was a good thing though that she had decided to go full-time into the modelling career, and her manager wasted no time in pushing her for more jobs and sometimes even a few television appearance no matter how big or small the roles are.

Kagome to say was lucky when she was assigned to go to Okinawa for a quick shoot with a photographer who was looking to create his first ever album and gallery showing, with her as his main star subject. They were slightly behind of schedule because of her inability to portray a certain emotion that was requested of her and though it greatly frustrates not only the rest of the crew and her photographer, but even herself.

Everyday she would see the messages that Miroku would leave in her phone, messages and voice mails all urgent and hoping that she would reply to him, some of them even asking if she was angry at him and still avoiding him. He is partially correct, mainly the avoiding him part. Other than that, she has been nothing but busy as hell as Kagome worked tirelessly over the tightly packed schedule that her manager had created.

"So sorry for the trouble today," Kagome apologizes to the photographer and the rest of the crew, as she felt guilty for being one to hold everyone back when everyone is already tired and want the project to be over.

"Ne, Ai-chan, do you have a trauma of sort," the photographer asked her as Kagome was about to walk back to the hotel.

"…I'm sure I do not know what you mean," she replied with a smile as Kagome turned to face the photographer.

"Your smile whenever it touches on this topic, will never hit that mark," the photographer told her as he resumed packing his items.

"I'll work harder on it, thank you, so sorry about the trouble I've caused," Kagome replied with a troubled smile before she turn to catch up with some of the crew as she returned to the hotel with them.

He was not wrong and it was something that even she herself was currently having trouble to get pass. It was just that one emotion she was unable to get past, and her smile that gave away the bitter-sweetness in her. It was a good thing though that they were able to meet with the deadline of their shooting dates with no need to extend their stay for another day of shooting.

Two Messages received…Beep…

"Hi, it's me again, I was wondering if you'd want to hang out and play some games together…well…call me,"

Message End…Beep…

That was one of the latest messages that she had received recently that made her wonder if he would ever give up. Though from the tone of the message it sounded like he was tired, something that she could relate to at the moment, but because of work she was to remain undisclosed to the people around her except for her manager.

"Hello Manager-san I'm done today, we should be returning tomorrow in the morning to Japan," Kagome spoke over the phone as she packed her items into the luggage.

"Oh! That's great news! Thanks so much for your hard work, there's a 5 days break for you from tomorrow so take a break for a while," her manager happily replied into the phone before they hung up.

"Five days," Kagome mumbled as she slides the phone screen to end the call.

It was perhaps about time that she returns Miroku's call and face the truth of things. Or perhaps she should take that 5 days to think things through between them before she call him to meet up and talk about this face to face. Kagome sigh as she looks at her phone lying in bed bedside of her in contemplation of what she should now do. Though truth of the thing is that she was still unable to get over Inuyasha despite of what she told Miroku.

Somewhere through the night in her thinking, Kagome had somehow fallen asleep and was rushing in the morning to checkout of the hotel at the same timing as the rest of the crew as they travelled to the airport together. Most of the time during the flight she would doze in and out of sleep if not talk to the crew-members as some of them would sometimes take selfie together as they uploaded it onto their Twitter or Instagram account.

By the time that Kagome reached home it was about late evening, having decided to stop by the main office to drop off some gifts that she had gotten for everyone when she was in Okinawa doing her shooting. It was also somewhat bad luck on her part that the president was there, and they ended up doing some discussion on her future with them and their plans for her.

"What a tiring day," Kagome mumbled as she waited for the lift to stop at her level as she rolled her luggage out beside of her.

"Kagome…" she heard a male voice called out her name in a low breath as though in disbelief.

"I missed you so much," Miroku told her as he rushed up to hug her tightly without giving her the chance to react or move away from him.

"I was so worried when I could not get in touch with you," Miroku rattled on as he pulled apart from her but still within his arms as he inspected her body with his eyes worried that she might have gotten some form of injury of sort.

"Miroku," Kagome called out his name, not sure how she should react or behave since the time that he confessed to her.

It was most certainly rather awkward for her as they stood in the corridor that leads to her apartment unit. She was going to take the next few days to think about their relationship and how she should face him, but now that he was in front of her, she is speechless and her mind is a blank at the moment.

"Here let me help," Miroku immediately say when he spotted her luggage as he help her push it to her apartment, as he guided her there with a hand to her back.

"No one knew where you were, I thought something bad must have happened to you…" Miroku rambled on as he continued speaking trying to make light of the situation between them as though he had not confessed at all. Or so it seemed to Kagome.

Is she supposed to be the same as him and treat it as though nothing had happened? Or was she to come forth and say something about it. Both of which she was unable to do so at the moment as they stood in front of her unit with Kagome blankly looking at the door and him looking at her questioningly with worry evident in his eyes.

"The keys?" he asked her as Kagome turn to look at him blankly, blinking her eyes at him.
