Chapter Three: Unrequited Love?
That evening Inuyasha walked through the door to his house in a daze. He never knew that his best friend that had hurt him five years ago, lived right next door to him and his brother. But she did and now that he was right next to her he knew what the feeling was inside him. And it scared him out of his mind.
Since it was only three in the afternoon Inuyasha didn't expect his brother who was a lawyer to be home. But as Inuyasha walked through the kitchen he was stopped by his full blooded Demon brother, Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha, what's troubling you little brother?" he asked not looking at his brother.
"Sesshomaru? What are you doing here?" asked Inuyasha sitting down across from him. "I thought you were in court today."
"The guy killed himself when they realized that there was no way to save the case."
"It was the Onigumo case right?" asked Inuyasha he didn't know why but that name sounded so familiar.
"yeah but I'm not worried about that." said Sesshomaru. "I'm worried about you."
"It's nothing Sesshomaru." said Inuyasha looking toward Kagome's house.
"I doubt that." Said Sesshomaru. "You do know that Kagome lives next door right."
"Yeah." Inuyasha sighed staring out the window at her house.
Sesshomaru looked at his brother with sympathy. He knew what it was like to be in love with a human girl. Though Inuyasha would deny it he had fallen for Kagome and he fell hard. "Inuyasha tell her how you feel. I think you would be surprised."
"I don't love Kagome like that." Inuyasha lied "I never have."
"Okay, okay. I have to go pick up Rin. We're going out today you'll be home alone for a while." said Sesshomaru getting up and gathering his papers.
"Alright." said Inuyasha then he remembered that he needed to tell Sesshomaru that he would be gone for the summer to the beach. "By the way Sesshomaru my friends and I are going to the beach for the summer break."
"Alright. You going to be there all summer?" asked Sesshomaru.
"No only about three weeks." said Inuyasha
"Okay. Is Kagome going?"
"Yeah. Her and her friends." said Inuyasha
Nodding Sesshomaru walked out the door and then on a last minute decision walked over to Kagome's house. Once he got over to the house he asked to see Kikyo after Kagome's mother opened the door.
"Of course. Come in Sesshomaru. It's good to see you again." she said letting him in the house. It was then that he realized that Kagome's father had died and that was why he hadn't sensed him when he walked in
"You too." said Sesshomaru as Kikyo walked down the stairs
"Hello Sesshomaru."
"Hello Kikyo. I need to talk to you." said Sesshomaru.
"Let's go out back." said Kikyo and she led the demon to the back yard.
"So what's up Sesshomaru?" asked Kikyo
"Inuyasha." said Sesshomaru simply. "I know he loves Kagome but he won't admit it."
"Kagome is the same way. That's why we're going on this trip. The beach was where she and Inuyasha first admitted that they liked one another beyond friends." said Kikyo. "That's why we're going there."
"Good." said Sesshomaru see in exactly what Kikyo was planning. If they got them to where they both told the other that they care for them then maybe they would be able to get them together. "Thank you Kikyo." And he left.
Kikyo sighed as she watched him leave the shrine. Then she looked over at the tree where her and Kagome had first met and became close friends. "This summer break is going to be interesting, Nalika." She said to the demon that had appeared next to her.
"Yeah that's true." said the black phoenix demon. "I just hope that they don't interfere."
"They would be fools if they tried messing with Kagome. One her powers are way stronger than mine and two Inuyasha would kill them before they get a chance at her." said Kikyo but she knew the truth. If the Sahado demons found Kagome and Inuyasha then their two friends would die.
