Chapter Nine:
Oo0O0oO
"I can't believe you're asking me to do this!" Tao's uncle, Inuyasha, hissed, clutching the phone tightly in his hand.
"Come on uncle! It's an important part of the plan!" Tao whined.
"What plan?" Inuyasha asked, flopping down onto his leather couch.
"Agree to do it and I'll tell you." Tao bargained.
"Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to regret this if I agree to help you?" Inuyasha groaned.
"You won't. Now, do we have a deal?" Tao asked, waiting semi-patiently on his side of the phone.
Inuyasha sighed and pondered. Glancing at the clock he came to a conclusion.
"Fine. I'll do it----BUT! Under one condition." He warned quickly.
Tao sighed. "And that would be?"
"A years supply of ramen. Every flavor."
"Done."
Oo0O0oO
"Kagome?!" Came Mrs. Higurashi's call from downstairs.
Kagome sighed and took one last glance at herself in the mirror before leaving the room. Pretty soon she wouldn't be able to wear her business suits. She'll be bigger than a baby whale.
Venturing down the stairs and entering the kitchen, she found her mother cooking at the stove, something Kagome smiled fondly at. When she was still in high school, she could remember coming down the stairs every single morning for breakfast to find her mother cooking food at the stove.
"Good morning mama." She said, going to the fridge and pouring herself a glass of orange juice.
"Oh Kagome you're up. Good. Inuyasha just called and said that he's wanting to give you a ride to work." Mrs. Higurashi said, scrambling some eggs into some fried rice.
"Inuyasha called and asked that? Mama…I think hell just froze over." Kagome chuckled. Mrs. Higurashi smiled and looked up to watch her daughter.
"Are you planning on telling Sesshoumaru?" She asked, turning her attention back to the food.
Kagome looked down at the orange she was swirling around in her glass. "I don't know. I know I'll have to sooner or later. I…just don't want to yet." She said. " 'I'm' still trying to get used to it." She added quietly.
Mrs. Higurashi nodded and emptied the fried rice into a bento box. "I made your lunch. Have a nice day sweetie."
Kagome looked up from her glass and slowly smiled. Just like in high school. "Thanks mom." She said, taking the box and heading towards the door.
Just as the slipped her 3-inch heeled shoes on, she saw Inuyasha walk up the back steps of the door.
Smiling she yanked the door open, thoroughly startling the hanyou.
"Good morning Inuyasha. How are you?" She asked, stepping outside onto the back step.
Her brother-in-law shrugged and keh'd. "Same old. Nothing exciting." He answered.
"You need a life Inuyasha." She sighed, before laughing at his protesting face.
"Let's go wench. You don't wanna be late do ya?" He asked, taking out his keys and selecting the right one.
"No. And now that you mention it, why did you want to drive me to work?" She asked, walking next to him down the long stretch of shrine stairs.
Inuyasha visibly flinched and a nervous gestation possessed his hands. "Can't your brother-in-law be nice for once? Come on wench. I ain't THAT cold hearted."
Kagome smiled and waited for him to unlock and open her door. After he did and she climbed into the front seat of his nice car, she sighed and turned to him with a quirked eyebrow.
"You're not very good at lying, Inuyasha. You never have been." She said.
Inuyasha growled, making her laugh. "Look I just wanted to say that I have a friend who's single and he's looking in the market. I thought of you. If you're not ready to start dating again than that's fine." He said.
Kagome frowned. "You mean like a blind date?"
"Keh. Whatever you women call it these days." He snorted, pulling out into traffic.
Kagome turned her gaze back to her window. Was she ready to start dating again? Was she emotionally ready too?
The problem was, was that she KNEW she wasn't entirely over Sesshoumaru. Deep down, she knew that he would always be a part of her and no one would be able to take that place. But…she wasn't 'with' him any longer. Maybe…maybe she'd feel better if she met someone else…to keep her mind off of current matters. Off of 'him'.
Sighing, she turned her attention back to the driver and smiled. "I guess I can give it a shot. When is it?" She asked.
Inuyasha looked mildly surprised. His eyebrows rose so high they disappeared beneath his bangs and he visibly relaxed the tenseness from his body. "Er…this Friday. 7:00. He said that he'd pick you up if you agreed to go out with him."
Kagome nodded. "All right. That sounds good. Casual or formal?" She asked.
"Formal." He answered a little too quickly. Kagome quirked her eyebrow once again before shaking her head.
"All right. Tell him that I'll be more than happy to go out with him." She said.
"Keh." He scoffed, pulling into her warehouses' parking lot.
"Thank you for the ride, Inuyasha." She smiled, before leaning over and pecking him on the cheek. Inuyasha swallowed hard and scowled when she giggled.
"What now?" He demanded.
"My lipstick just came off that's all." She giggled, taking a tissue from her designer's bag and wiping his cheek.
"K-keh." He stuttered, flinching and leaning away from her.
"See you later!" She smiled, before hopping out into the wintery weather.
Inuyasha waited until she was inside of the building before pulling out his cell phone and dialing. The person answered on the fifth ring.
"I got her. She's agreed to meet Kouga on Friday." He said. "Don't forget my ramen----hey! HELLO!? Dammit, Tao! There goes your Christmas presents!" He yelled, throwing his phone onto the passenger's seat.
Oo0O0oO
Tao hung up on his uncle just as he said `ramen' and did an unnatural girly squeal of excitement.
"Master Tao? Are you well?" Came a British accent.
Tao flushed and whirled around to find the butler standing there with a concerned expression on his face.
"Uh…yeah! Everything's fine, Keitaro. See ya later!" He called, running from the kitchen and up to his bedroom. Closing the door and flopping onto his bed, he pulled out his pocket sized notebook and smiled.
"Good. Everything's going to plan. Now to call Kagura and apologize…heh. And then set up a date for her and father at the same restaurant as mom and Kouga." He planned. 'If his father's temper is as easy to spark as they said it was, then surely he would become jealous at seeing mother with another man…'
Tao smiled bitterly before writing down a list of new ideas.
"Operation: Recharge is underway!" He smiled.
Oo0O0oO
Kagura sat at her vanity and was grumbling and frantically trying to get a new look going with her knew 'hair cut'.
"That little brat…" She snarled. Her shoulder length ebony tresses were now cut short into a French bob. It was SO wrong.
"I'll make that little brat suffer. Mark my words."
