Chapter 7
Ever since Inuyasha told Kagome about what happened, Kagome keeps herself busy with school instead of linking her arm around Inuyasha whenever he escorts her across the hallways of the school. It'd be too freaky. Inuyasha is doing his best to resist his demon instinct to claim Kagome. After all, he wants her to meet his parents before that.
Before class, Miroku can clearly see Inuyasha's concern. "Care to explain what happened? He asks Inuyasha. Knowing fully well that the security cameras are on them. "Later." It was only said because Inuyasha cannot let the school know about what happened before entering the building. Miroku turns to his sight to Kagome who is in a similar scenario. He knows for sure that Kagome would give him the same respond.
Back at Sakura Hills, Sango is minding her own business on her phone until she sees Kikyo holding Naraku's hand as they enter class. "Are you sure they've done their job?" Kikyo asks him. Without realizing it, Sango videotapes with her school pin to catch the conversation. "Yes. I was able to persuade the council to make sure that Kagome remains in Shikon High instead of a trimester." Naraku chuckles darkly as her chaste kisses Kikyo on the lips.
Sango couldn't believe what she found out. She knew for sure she didn't like Naraku in the first place and now she has a new reason to dislike him even more. 'Kagome must know about this.' She thought to herself. She knows for sure that she doesn't want to get caught by them. "As such, Inuyasha will know for sure that it was me who actually sent him that message instead of you." Naraku added. Sango caught that as well. 'Oh no.' Sango gasps silently.
"Exactly. After all, Inuyasha is too much of a pathetic fool to know about the mating laws. I know for sure that I'm not his mate, but that girl Kagome is." Kikyo smirks as she wraps her arms around Naraku's neck. Sango can prove this to not only to Kagome but also to Inuyasha even though she hardly knows him. But now's the time to show them about Kikyo and Naraku's scheme.
When school rings the end of the day, Kagome's phone chimes to alert her about something. Kagome opens the screen to see something. It was a video message after a text saying. 'You won't believe what I just found out.' The text is from Sango. "What's going on, Kagome?" Inuyasha asks as they get into his car with Miroku getting into the backseat. "I got a video message from Sango. Looks like she sent it earlier today since we can't use our phones in school." Kagome said as she plays the video with Inuyasha and Miroku watching over her shoulder.
While watching the clip, Kagome begins to feel a dark aura emanating around Inuyasha's body. She turns to see his golden eyes glow red with rage. "Inuyasha calm down." Kagome takes a hold of his hand. All of sudden her touch tames the aura around him. "So it was Naraku instead of Kikyo. He must've used her phone to send me that message." Inuyasha spoke with a growl. "We need to pick up Sango and brind her to my parents." He suggests to her. Kagome nods. "Let me call her to ask where she is." She presses the phone icon by Sango. A second later. "Kagome, you know what happen what I found out?" Sango speaks to her. "Yes I just did. Inuyasha and Miroku are with me as well. Inuyasha wants to bring you to his house. Where are you?" Kagome asks her friend. "I'm waiting by your house." Sango answers calmly. "Ok stay there. We're coming to get you." Kagome said before hanging up.
Inuyasha drives all the way to Kagome's house in record time. Just like Sango said, she is waiting by Kagome's house. "Get in Sango." Kagome calls out as she has her window down. Sango rushes into the car. Once in, Inuyasha drives to his house. "So, Sango is there anything else you found about the wicked duo?" Inuyasha asks her this time. "No that's all I was able to get. Why are we heading to your place?" Sango answers before asking him.
Inuyasha doesn't answer her question because he pulls up to his mansion. Kagome and Sango widen their eyes to see such a place. "You live here?" Kagome asks him, not believing where she and Sango arrived. "Yeah." That was all the girls got from Inuyasha. Inuyasha parks to the closed garage door. They follow Inuyasha through the front door. "Welcome home, Master Inuyasha." Myoga greets him. "Where's dad?" Inuyasha asks him instead of greeting the flea demon. "He's in his office in the middle of his meeting call. He forbids any disturbances." Myoga warns him. Miroku knows fully well to follow the rules of Inuyasha's house.
"Fine. Any idea how long his meeting is?" Inuyasha asks Myoga. Myoga shakes his head. "No clue, master. You're going have to wait till he's finished." He answers Inuyasha. Inuyasha gestures his friends to follow him. "Let him know that I want to talk to him." Inuyasha said to his butler. Myoga bows. "You have my word." Inuyasha nods back and goes into the kitchen.
Kagome and Sango enter the kitchen. They couldn't believe that this kitchen is full of the top-of-the-line appliances. "Wow." Was only Kagome word. Sango nod in agreement. "My mom is a gourmet chef, so she needs this to make her dishes." Inuyasha calms the girls down as he offers them drinks from the fridge. "I couldn't even come close to this kind of skill. Is your mother famous?" Kagome asks Inuyasha and she gratefully takes a soda from him. "Nah. She just loves to cook. We have dinner parties every weekend." Inuyasha shakes it off.
As such the patio doors open up. "Oh, Inuyasha. Welcome home. I see you have guests." Izayoi smiles warmly. Sango and Kagome bow down to her. "Hello, Mrs. Takahashi. My name is Kagome Higurashi." Kagome greets her first. "And I'm Sango Taijiya." Sango greets Izayoi couldn't help but feel something positive about the girls. "It's a pleasure to meet you two. But please call my Izzie." Izayoi recommends it to them. "As you too, Miroku." She smirks to him. Miroku sweat drops about it. "Yes, ma'am." Inuyasha couldn't help but snicker in his head so he wouldn't embarrass his friend.
"So what's going on?" Izayoi asks the group curiously. "Nothing much. I thought it'd be nice to have Kagome and her friend Sango visiting. I hope that's okay with you." Inuyasha answers as his rubs the back of his neck. "Oh honey. They're always welcome here. As long as you obey these three rules." Izayoi permits Inuyasha's friends.
"Rule number 1…" She has her index finger pointing up. "No one is allowed in Inuyasha's father's office. It's forbidden unless he allows it." The girls nod to show her that they understand it seriously. "Number two…" She has two fingers out. "We respect each other no matter what. Even the host or the hostess must provide refreshments to their guests." She tells them. 'That explains why Inuyasha gave us drinks.' Kagome realizes the gesture. "And number 3…" Izayoi has her third finger out. "Whenever you're here, don't hesitate to ask me for anything." Izayoi smiles in the end. "Ok, Inuyasha. I'm going to be in my greenhouse. I'll be in to make dinner." Izayoi tells her sons before as she grabs her gardening gloves out of the mudroom's drawers and goes back outside.
