Chapter 15

Friends

 

Kagome felt a similar sensation to the kitsune seduction creep over her as she sunk into the oozing honey of Yoko's eyes. He reached for her face, his fingers stroking her lip, a breath away…

“BEEP!”

Yoko swore, jumping backwards. Kagome blinked, dazed, as the watch on her wrist blipped and froze.

“Oh no!” Kagome pouted, tapping the face as the numbers read zeros and ones,

“The past must have confused it! I usually take it off as well, but I forgot this time…”

The kitsune had prowled back to the miko's side, observing the sporty pink mechanism on her wrist with a distrusting look, rapping his fingers on the now blank face.

“What is it?”

“A watch,” Kagome replied, holding back a giggle at the kitsune's obvious burning curiosity, “Or a least it was…mou, mama's going to kill me…oh!!”

Kagome blinked, remembering with a horrible jolt the reason she had set her watch's alarm all those weeks ago…

Flashback

“It's going to be great! As long as my older brother's there my parents are happy to leave us the house to ourselves…plus, it means I can invite all my brother's hot single mates!”

Yuka beamed at her friends, taking a breath to drink in all their captivated faces. All, that is, apart from Kagome.

“Neh, Kagome-chan? Are you listening?”

“Huh? Oh, sure,”

Yuka exchanged a look with Eri.

“Oh good. So what are you wearing?”

Kagome blinked.

“To what?”

“Kagome!!”

“Ah, gomen, gomen! I'm just tired, Yuka-chan! What were you saying?”

Yuka huffed, crossing her arms.

“My birthday party! I'm having it in two weeks time- you are coming, right?”

“Of course!”

Eri laughed, grabbing Kagome's wrist.

“It might be a good idea to make a reminder, Kagome-chan. Just in case,”

Kagome laughed nervously, setting the alarm on her watch.

“You guys! I won't forget!!”

End flashback.

“They were right!” Kagome moaned, burying her face in her hands, “For once, they were spot on…”

“Who were?” Yoko blinked at the raving girl, still inspecting her watch.

“My friends…oh never mind! I need to go! In fact, right this minute! Oh kami, I haven't got her a birthday present or anything!”

“Birthday?” Yoko repeated.

“Hai! Mou, I'm going to be late!!”

 

 

In all the hurry, Kagome had completely forgotten the reason why she and Yoko had ended up in the den at the first place. However, as Yoko arrived at the spot they had departed from hours before, it all came flooding back.

“Oh, kami! I left Sango-chan all alone too!”

Kagome rubbed her head with a deep sigh.

“I am getting such a headache with all this remembering and forgetting!”

Yoko looked at her sympathetically.

“I never knew young ningen girls had such hectic lives…”

Kagome laughed, “Well, I guess I'm just not your average ningen girl…”

“Indeed,” Yoko purred into her ear, his hands snaking around her waist,

“Which is perhaps why I am attracted to you so…”

“Oi!! Get you hands off her, kitsune!”

Kagome immediately blushed, spinning around to face the growling hanyou.

His hand was at his hip, his claws drumming impatiently on his sword's sheath.

Don't look guilty, don't look guilty…mou, it's not working!!!

The more Kagome tried to look normal, the hotter her face became. But the hanyou was too busy eying up the kitsune to notice. He finally turned his gaze to her, regarding her with his usual scowl.

“Where have you been, wench? You've been gone hours!!”

Inuyasha shot a further filthy look at the slightly smirking kitsune that was behind Kagome, “And that sure as hell ain't Sango!”

Yoko went to speak, but Kagome cleared her throat nervously, all too well remembering the last time Yoko tried to make excuses…

“Inuyasha! Thank goodness you're here! This miko was trying to make me have mad, passionate love with her; otherwise she was going to purify me!”

Blushing further, Kagome spoke quickly.

“Yoko was just helping me get some flowers! I've got this thing tonight you see, and I forgot to get my friend a present, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity!”

The hanyou frowned, while Kagome made frantic signals behind her back. Taking the hint, Yoko discreetly took a seed from his hair, and began to manipulate it into a bouquet of flowers.

“Keh! What makes you think I'm going to let you swan off anywhere, bitch? We haven't done one spot of hunting today!”

Yoko bit back a snarl, concentrating on the job at hand.

“Ano…well, I know…but I really can't miss this party…and it would be terrible to turn up empty handed!”

“Couldn't you have just bought some in your time??”

“Ano…I guess…but then again…Yoko here is the expert! And I'd rather get my friend something special!” Kagome smiled hopefully, but Inuyasha wasn't backing down.

“You know something, wench, if you put as much thought into shard hunting as you do your stupid friends back in the future we could have the fucking tama whole twice over!!”

There was a sudden `poof!' as one of the flower heads exploded.

“Hai, I'm sorry Inuyasha. We'll do lots when I come back, I promise! Plus it's only one night…”

“Yeah, yeah, bitch. How many times have I heard that before??”

Kagome could hear a low rumble as Yoko began to softly growl behind her.

Mou…I thought if I kept my temper Inuyasha would just return the favour...wrong again, Kagome…

The miko turned around to Yoko, taking the beautiful blossoms from his hands and looking pleadingly into his eyes as she spoke cheerfully.

“Arigato again, Yoko!”

The kitsune moved daringly to kiss her, but Kagome smartly dodged it, frantically shaking her head at him and whispering a hushed “Gomen!”

“Ok, Inuyasha, I'm going now,”

“Keh. I'll walk you, wench,”

“There's no need! I-”

“Get into trouble every fucking time my back is turned? Yeah, I know. Let's go then,”

Inuyasha threw one last look of contempt towards the silently seething kitsune before heading off, his arms tucking into his sleeves. Dithering, Kagome hastily said goodbye to the kitsune before catching up with the hanyou.

The kitsune watched them go, curling his fists tightly at his sides.

One day Inuyasha…I will steal her from you…

The kitsune closed his eyes, a slight smile gracing his features as he breathed in the pure lily like musk of the miko which hung sweet in the air.

You mark my words…

 

 

Kurama sat up bolt right in his chair, his green eyes sparkling.

She's coming back!

The avatar caught sight of his face in the mirror and started. His usually sleek and satin sheen hair was lank and stuck to his head in slicks. His shirt was hanging off his shoulder, and he smelled of sleep.

Shower first, I think…

Wise choice…

Kurama grabbed some fresh clothes from his room, before heading to the bathroom and stepping into the hot shower. The water hit his back like needles, but he welcomed it. His muscles were tense from falling asleep on the couch for days on end, watching the miko's escapades in the past.

Lathering some home made shampoo into his hands, Kurama closed his eyes and let the suds trickle down his face.

Perhaps we should wait for her to call…her mother said she would when she returned, after all…

Maybe…sheseemed to likeus anyway…

I think she was just glad Kagome has someone else in this time who she can talk to about the past…she didn't even turn a hair when we told her Kagome had went down the wellt…

She's used to it after all these years, I suppose…

The way she smiled at us, like she already knew…it's the way I've always hoped our mother would react…

Kurama sighed a little sadly, standing directly under the shower spray so it soothed his aching back.

I'm sure she would, if you just told her…

A high trill set Kurama's heart beat racing, erasing all further thoughts from his and Yoko's mind. They both thought at the same time- Kagome??

Kurama turned the shower off in one swift motion, wrapping a towel around his waist and dripped water all through his flat. He reached the phone excitedly, answering quickly, “Moshi Moshi?”

“Yo, Kurama! How's my favourite kitsune?”

The avatar deflated, but not for long.

“Yusuke! I'm fine, thank you! How are you? How is Keiko?”

“We're great! Though we'd be even better if you could come to our engagement party next weekend!”

Kurama gave a genuine smile. Yusuke and Keiko had been engaged for a few years now. After a shaky start, Yusuke had opened a ramen stand, and thanks to Keiko, it had become immensely popular. With the business thriving, Keiko's parents, who already owned a ramen bar, got a loan out for the couple and within a year, the two had their own shop. With Yusuke's confidence and…interesting people skills, and Keiko's life long experience of working in a ramen bar, the shop thrived and the couple were doing immensely well.

“That sounds lovely. It's been a while! Where are you having it?”

“The Hotel Nikko- you've heard of it, yeah? And don't worry, I've booked us all rooms…I want this to be a night to remember!”

“Well, thank you for the invite. It will be my pleasure to come! Are you inviting Hiei?”

“Well, if you want to come together that's cool…”

Kurama gritted his teeth in a grin at Yusuke's suggestive tone. The former spirit detective loved to imply the kitsune and the hybrid were a secret couple, and had being doing it lot of late.

Ah…if only…

Yoko…dangerous line of thought…please refrain from mental images…

Heh…too late…

Kurama further grinned when he realised how he could turn the tables on his good friend.

“In fact, Yusuke, as tempting as that might be, I was wondering if I could bring another friend…”

“Ah, trying to make the little bugger jealous? Could work, I guess…”

Kurama chuckled.

“Perhaps. Would you mind?”

“Not at all! Who's the lucky guy?”

Kurama bit his lip. Yusuke really was something else.

“Actually, it's a she. A miko by the name of Kagome…”

“WHAT?”

Score for team Kurama…

Indeed…this has been a long time coming…

“Why so surprised, Yusuke?”

“Ano…I'm not!”

“Really? My eardrum is pounding for nothing?”

“Stop foxing around, Kurama! Spill the details! I want height, weight, eye colour, cup size…”

“I'm afraid I have to go now, Yusuke! But I will gladly bring Kagome along. Give my thanks to Keiko,”

“Kurama!”

“Sayonara!”

Kurama hung up with an uncharacteristic grin. It would be good to met up with his friends again- he missed them, living in this city, so far away.

And now I have an excuse to pop around to Kagome's!

 

 

Kagome breathed in the fragrance of Yoko's flowers yet again as she walked side by side with Inuyasha.

They're so pretty! Yuka-chan will love them!

“Aren't they lovely, Inuyasha?” Kagome asked the hanyou.

“Keh! Plants are plants, wench,”

Kagome touched the delicate petals, silently disagreeing.

“Right. So one night, bitch, ya got that? I don't want to have to come looking for you like usual!”

“Hai, hai,” Kagome sat on the side of the well, carefully tucking her flowers to her chest to protect them.

“What's that?”

Kagome stopped, turning to meet the hanyou's gaze.

“Nani?”

His claws caught around the chain that fallen out her top, the white rose winking in the sun.

“Oh…ano…”

Inuyasha growled, “Did that kitsune give you this?”

Kagome's hands tightened on the flowers stems.

“Hai, he did…as thanks for me saving his life- you know, for the time Kikyo tried to kill him?”

Kagome closed her eyes.

Baka! Baka, why did I come out with that!

“Nani?” Inuyasha demanded, shaking her shoulder, “Oi, what do you mean?”

“Nothing,” Kagome whispered.

“Kikyo just shot him regular arrow! I was there! He didn't even twitch!”

Kagome took a deep breath.

“It doesn't matter, Inuyasha,”

Just like before…you didn't want to believe she tried to kill me either…

“Oi, bitch! It obviously matters; otherwise you wouldn't have said anything!”

Inuyasha put a little more pressure on her shoulder.

“He looked perfectly fine to me, anyway!”

“That's because I found him in time! If I hadn't got there and pulled out the arrow, Yoko would have been purified slowly and painfully!”

Stumped, Inuyasha simply blinked.

“Yeah well…that kitsune is no friend of Kikyo's…so she acted how she saw fit!”

Kagome pulled Inuyasha's hand off her shoulder, angrily retorting,

“Well, Kikyo is no friend of mine, Inuyasha! And if she ever harms Yoko again, I'll act how I see fit!”

There was a purple flash as Kagome disappeared down the well. The hanyou slumped with a sigh over the wooden assemble, his claws sinking into the already scratched surface.
