Chapter Eleven

Unfolding Knowledge, Unforgettable Facts

 

Inuyasha sat up, stretching the sleep from his body and rubbing his eyes awake from the night before.

 

“Ah, Inuyasha,” the hanyou looked up and saw Miroku standing at the door to his bedroom, “You're awake, come, have some breakfast.”

 

“You made something?” Inuyasha asked in disbelief. He sat up and tossed a shirt on.

 

“No, as a matter of fact Sango made something.” Miroku smiled knowingly.

 

“Oh really?”

 

“Yes.” Miroku glared.

 

“And you babysat?” Inuyasha smiled.

 

“Oh ha, ha, just because I have a child and you do not, doesn't mean you have the right to bug me,” Miroku huffed, “Children are a beautiful thing.”

 

Inuyasha sighed and followed his friend to the kitchen where Sango and their little child was, “Good morning, Rei.”

 

“Good morning Uncle Inu.” The little girl smiled and continued eating her pancakes.

 

“You want some Inuyasha?” Sango asked.

 

“Yeah, that'd be great.” The hanyou sat down beside Rei who was hungrily eating up her syrup river of a mess.

 

“So, do you have work today?” Miroku asked.

 

“Yeah, that bas—I mean brother of mine wanted me in today.” Inuyasha sighed.

 

Sango glared at her friend, warning him for his bad language as Inuyasha gulped and started eating the warm pancakes.

 

“Well, better get going.” Inuyasha said as he grabbed his jacket and walked to the door.

 

“Bye bye Uncle Inu.” Rei yelled as he gave her a kiss on her forehead and left out the door.

 

Pulling on his shoes, he hopped into his car and headed for work on another boring day. Hearing his cell go off, he grabbed it and checked the ID. “Sesshoumaru…” He growled as he pulled it up to his ear, “Hello?”

 

“Where are you?”

 

“I'm heading for work.” Inuyasha grumbled, “Are you planning on hackling me everyday?”

 

“Yes,” He didn't need to see him to know that Sesshoumaru was smirking, “But I do need you here as soon as possible.”

 

“What happened now?” Inuyasha sighed.

 

“Just stop in my office before you leave today.” Then the line went dead.

 

“Bastard.” Inuyasha flipped his cell closed and tossed it into the passenger seat next to him.

 

Stopping at another obnoxious red light, he opened his glove box to find something to listen to. His hand skimmed over the cd cases and stopped on a thin piece of paper of some sort.

 

Being curious, Inuyasha pulled it out and looked at it. However, the light changed and he decided driving was more important as he drove down the streets of Tokyo and to work.

 

“Good morning, Mr. Takahashi.” The happy secretary smiled as Inuyasha walked in.

 

“Good morning, Midori.” Inuyasha smiled back, “Any calls?”

 

“Yes, you have another call from Goro, but that's it.” Inuyasha nodded then walked to the elevator.

 

Pressing the `up' button, he waited patiently for the metal doors to open.

 

“Inuyasha-sama?”

 

“Yes?” Inuyasha answered the man who just walked out the elevator.

 

“It's good to see you, I didn't think you'd come.”

 

“Why wouldn't I come?” Inuyasha asked.

 

However, the man had successfully walked off without answering him. With a sigh, he turned to enter the elevator but found that it had already closed.

 

“God dammit.” He grumbled as he pressed the button once again. Walking in, he pressed another button, then adding in the `close doors' button he was on his way.

 

Inuyasha found himself stopping at the wrong floor, number twelve. The doors opened and in walked a stout man, roughly forty or so years of age.

 

“Going up, sir?” He asked.

 

Inuyasha nodded and watched him press the floor button he needed. Then the man just stood there, not moving or talking, just standing there. Inuyasha became very awkward as the man's floor finally came.

 

“Good day.” Then the doors closed again and brought Inuyasha to his floor and office.

“What did you want?” Inuyasha asked as he entered his brother's office.

 

“Sit.” Sesshoumaru said.

 

Inuyasha hesitantly sat down at a small chair next to the desk, “Now what?”

 

“You've been working here for roughly half a year, correct?”

 

“Yeah…?” Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

 

“I've decided to personally hand over and dub you the heir of Takahashi Incorporated.” Sesshoumaru gave a small smile.

 

Inuyasha's jaw dropped; him, the soon-to-be owner of Takahashi Inc, the company their father created. He just couldn't believe it. For once, he wished Sesshoumaru hadn't gotten straight to the point.

 

“Uh, what brought this idea on?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“I believe you have earned your trust here, now, you may leave and we'll talk about this later.” Inuyasha got up, eyeing his brother, and then left without another word, only confusion.

 

It was almost surreal…and fast. His brother was such a professional at getting people in and out fast through his office.

 

Heading down to his car, he noticed everyone, or mostly everyone, had left for home already.

 

Looking at his digital watch, he realized it was already seven at night, late already. Inuyasha sighed and got into his car.

 

A small sound caught his attention, pulling something from under him; he held a small paper, the paper from this morning.

 

Inuyasha sighed.

 

Opening it, he started to read the feminine handwriting,

 

 

Inuyasha,

 

Just wanted to say this to you, after our special night together, I was thinking. Not bad thinking, just thinking about, well…life. Here I go…babbling again.

 

I wondered if I was ever going to meet up with you sometime in the future, but I highly doubt it, you're way across the world by the time you read this. It's silly, really. I mean, how this could happen in such a short time, me falling for you. I didn't think it was possible, until you left, and then I realized. I love you.

 

Yes, I love you Inuyasha Takahashi. It took me awhile to figure it out, but when I felt my heart break when you left for your plane, it was pretty easy. It was just weird putting it into words.

 

So, I hope that when you find this, wherever I cleverly hid this, I want you to know that I'm happy for you, whatever you're doing, and I hope that one of these days you'll come back to me.

 

With love,

Kagome.

 

 

Inuyasha stared at the paper, memories came back to him and it hurt. The possibility that he forgot about her, that he forgot to go back for her was unimaginable.

 

However, it happened, and it hurt.

 

It hurt more then hell freezing over if that made sense. He left her, over a year ago now, planning to go back to her. However, work, life, they all got in the way.

 

“I have to…” Inuyasha struggled to say the words he was repeated in his mind, over and over again. “…go back to her.” Inuyasha felt a small tear cradle his cheek, as it fell and hit his khaki jacket.

 

Keying the ignition, he was down the road and heading for home. He had plans to settle, and fast.

 

 

 

 

Yes, it's a boring chapter, but the next few will be terribly exciting, in my own words. Just trust me and wait for them, they'll be good, I promise.
