December 7:
Kagome was still a bit shocked over what had happened almost two days ago. Shippou still never went home to his mate and had been at her home for a total of 5 days so far. She continued to mindlessly scrub at the marble countertop that housed the sink, her arm moving rhythmically back and forth.
"Kagome..?" Shippou said softly, looking at his mother figure worriedly as he sat at the bar that was provided inside the kitchen. She stopped and looked up, her blue eyes glazed over. "Why are you cleaning so…"
"Mr. Quillish Wammy is going to be here soon with his ward Rue, Ryuzaki… I want to make sure everything is perfect when they arrive today.." She mumbled quietly, going back to cleaning. Shippou sighed and stood up, putting back his concealing charm to hide his pointed ears and fox tail.
"I think it's time for me to head back to the Den, wife must be pretty bored with only two twins to look after." He chuckled weakly. Kagome rolled her eyes and nodded, Shippou moved to hug her, but she made no move to hug him back- only patting his shoulder affectionately.
"Tell them that Grandma loves them, alright?" She asked weakly. Shippou nodded and smiled, moving to the door. He slipped out and was gone, Kagome was alone once again.
She took a shuddering breath and sighed, continuing to clean the counters.
She couldn't believe it… Someone died on live television…
There was a knock on the door shortly after. Kagome stopped cleaning, washed her hands and went to open the door:
"Hello-?" She asked, peeking out into the hallway. There stood a tall older gentleman with a small smile on his face. His eyes were squinted and lined with wrinkles, along with some of his cheeks and around his mouth.
"Hello, Higurashi, Kagome. Am I correct?" He asked, bending down at the waist to bow. Kagome blinked and opened her mouth to answer, though no words came out, she closed her mouth and nodded mutely, humming her approval.
The older man stood tall again, easily dwarfing her 5'1 form. His smile never left his mouth and neither did the squint to his eyes.
"I am Quillish Wammy, your grandfather told me many stories about you, I couldn't wait to meet you for myself before I finally kicked to the dirt." He chuckled dryly Kagome laughed weakly, gesturing inside her apartment.
She was sure that if he was wearing a hat, he would've tipped it in her direction. He was a true English Gentleman with the way he acted and spoke.
"Mind if I ask if it's alright for me to keep my shoes on? I'm afraid my back isn't like it used to be." He chuckled again, waiting for her nod of approval from behind his spectacles. Kagome nodded, waving it off with her hands.
"Splendid! Your grandfather mentioned that you were a sweetheart, I can say that so far I am not disappointed." He grinned, moving inside and smiling down at her once again. She didn't know why, to her it almost sounded like an insult, but she blushed anyways as she stared at the back of his fine black pressed suit.
She was about to close the door, taking a step and moving it as she went, but the older male turned around and looked out into the hallway. Kagome blinked and stopped moving, pulling the door back towards the wall: Maybe he forgot something?
"Ryuzaki, please come in here and introduce yourself to this kind young lady."
Kagome blinked in confusion then peeked back out into the hallway. There stood another taller, and undoubtedly younger, male. Though with his slight hunched form, he wasn't standing as tall as he should've been.
"Hmm?" He hummed absently, glancing back towards the apartment, a sucker's white stick sticking out of his mouth. He saw that Watari was already in the apartment with a perplexed looking woman standing in the doorway.
"Ah. My apologies… Higurashi-san." Ryuzaki mumbled, walking up to the door. He didn't bow, just looked down at her with his cold and calculating eyes, though she didn't seem the bit phased by this. Strange. "I am Rue Ryuzaki, though I much prefer to go by Ryuzaki if you wouldn't mind." He spoke, taking the sucker out of his mouth and licking the little red glob that was still at the end of it.
Her eyes watched the movement with slight interest, then blinked and looked back at the taller man's face. If he combed his hair, got more sleep, and wasn't so… pale, he would've been undoubtedly attractive.
Not like he wasn't already, of course…
"H-hai…" Kagome breathed out, bowing towards him and straightening out. She smiled brightly and moved to the side, offering him into her home. "Ryuzaki-san, only if you call me Kagome. Higurashi-san reminds me of my mother…" She said.
The taller male nodded, moving inside her apartment with a grace she would've never expected from someone who had such bad posture. She was slightly jealous since even she couldn't move like that.
She brushed the emotion away just as fast as it came, she didn't even have to ask Ryuzaki to take his shoes off, and they were already in a neat pile by the front door. They were much… worn out looking.
"C-can I get you two anything to drink? Anything at all?" Kagome spoke up, blushing brightly. Why was she embarrassed? Was it because there were two foreigners in her apartment? One of which was undoubtedly nice while the other held a sort of arrogance?
"If you wouldn't mind, some tea would be lovely for the both of us." Wammy said, smiling and bowing again. Kagome nodded, moving into the kitchen to boil some water. Her eyes snapped open, she was a horrible host! She didn't even offer any place for them to sit!
"Oh! Please excuse my rudeness, I don't entertain much. Please sit wherever you would like." Kagome said, peeking out of the kitchen. Quillish Wammy nodded, giving her another small smile before setting himself down on a recliner chair. Ryuzaki seated himself on a corner of her couch.
His eyes instantly zeroed in on the sugary treats that were placed on a silvery tray. Doughnuts….
Kagome came back out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with the tea pot and three cups and one jar filled with sugar cubes. She set the tray down next to the sugary treats and saw Ryuzaki eyeing them hungrily.
"Please, take as many as you would like. My friend enjoys sugary snacks as much as a little kid does." She laughed softly, Ryuzaki didn't even nod, he basically lunged for the powdery doughnuts he was eyeballing a few minutes prior.
Kagome laughed again, moving over to Quillish.
"Wammy-san, do you need anything else?" She had asked, pouring him a cup and offering it to him. He smiled in greatfully and took the cup from her hands.
"Actually yes, if you wouldn't mind… Could I have three cubes of sugar?"
Kagome smiled. She liked these two.
Ryuzaki reminded her of Shippou, in a way, he was surely as tall as the fox demon. And Quillish Wammy reminded her of when her grandfather wasn't so… Crazy.
She moved back into the kitchen once she gave Quillish the sugar, she slipped on some water that was still on the floor. She gasped in surprise and collided with the tile below.
Great… NOW her klutziness kicks in? Perfect.
"Higurashi-san, are you alright?" Ryuzaki spoke up from next to her. Kagome's brow ticked, her name was Kagome.
"Yes, Rue-san." Kagome bit out, sitting up on her knees as she nursed her sprained wrist. "But just so you know… I did not fall!" Ryuzaki lifted one of his oh-so-perfect slightly bushed eyebrows at her defense. She suddenly blushed a very bright red. "T-the floor looked at me funny so I… used my mad ninja skills to… attack it?"
Ryuzaki scoffed, helping her from the ground.
"I'm sure, everyone in Asia knows how to be a ninja, am I correct?" He rolled his coal eyes, moving towards her freezer, grabbing an ice pack from there.
With InuYasha and Shippou still around, there are bound to be bruises that make their way into her home.
"Here, this should help with the swelling. Use heat after 5 minutes and 36 seconds." Ryuzaki said, his eyes flickering back and forth between her wrist and the bruise that was starting to show.
Kagome almost rolled her eyes at this… Almost. She winced instead when the pack of ice touched her wrist. She was the medic in her group of friends! If she could fix a broken bone, she could take care of a sprained wrist.
Though she settled for smiling in gratitude instead.
"Thank you, Ryuzaki-kun." She said softly, looking at the ground as a blush stained her cheeks. What a day to be caught off-guard by her stupid klutziness. Ryuzaki blinked in surprise before his features softened, he patted her head gently.
"Only something anyone would do, Kagome-chan."
Kagome's blush got deeper. Dammit all.
A/N: A little Kagome/ L fluff. I would also appreciate some more reviews. Please? Thank you for your support for this story!
Also: Some insight for next chapter!
Kagome huffed, glaring at the slightly amused man in front of her, he lifted one of his brow's, she felt her own tick in irritation. Dammit them all. ''I'm NOT a klutz! I'm gravitationally challeneged!" She bit out. The man barked out laughter, holding his sides.
"Of course you are, Miko."
Her name was Kagome, dammit!
