Chapter 15: The Call

 

X_X_X_

 

Inuyasha leaned back in his chair, trying to balance a pen on the bridge of his nose out of sheer boredom.

 

He was currently sitting in his office, doing absolutely nothing.

 

He managed to look out of the window from the corner of his eye, trying still to balance the pen.

 

Just as he was back to concentrating on the pen Inuyasha's door opened in a rush, causing him to lose his balance and topple over the top of the chair in his surprise. The pen sailed through the air before smacking him unkindly in the face. The hanyou cursed at whoever was at the door, displeased that the idiot had caused him to make such a fool of himself.

 

He sat up quickly, fire burning in his eyes.

 

The fire only grew stronger as he saw who had caused him to fall.

 

“Miroku, what the fuck?! Did you forget how to fucking knock?!” Inuyasha snarled in an angry tide, baring his concealed fangs at the ex-monk.

 

The man in question fought hard to quell his laughter at the scene that he had just seen from the hanyou.

 

“Oh, I'm sorry Inuyasha,” Miroku said, letting a chuckle pass through his lips before he covered it up quickly with a cough, covering his mouth with his hand and drawing his eyebrows down.

 

Inuyasha just growled at the man before sitting in his chair with a huff while crossing his arms over his chest.

 

“Is there something that you find humorous, lecher?” Inuyasha growled out.

 

Miroku shook his head with a smile. “No, no. Nothing,” Miroku told Inuyasha, trying to cover up for his mistakes.

 

His face became instantly serious, though, as he remembered what he had come here for.

 

“Inuyasha,” Miroku began, “I have some interesting news to convey to you.”

 

Inuyasha looked at his friend with confusion in his eyes, noticing how serious he had become.

 

“Umm, yeah what is it?” he asked Miroku uncertainly.

 

Miroku scratched the back of his head and looked off to the side for a moment, trying to figure out how he was going to tell his friend this.

 

“Well, as you know I took Sango out to lunch yesterday,” Miroku told Inuyasha, looking up to gauge his reaction.

 

Inuyasha smiled. “Oh yeah, that's right! So how did it go?” he asked the man.

 

Miroku looked sheepishly to the side mumbling a small `not too well,' before once again growing serous.

 

“I didn't come here to talk about the date. I came to talk about what Sango and I both saw,” Miroku told the hanyou, noticing how he had succeeded in catching the man's attention.

 

“Okay,” Inuyasha said uncertainly. “Then what did you come here to tell me about?” he asked, cocking an eyebrow in confusion.

 

Miroku took a deep breath, trying to calm his raging nerves before he broke the news to Inuyasha. “We saw Kagome.”

 

Inuyasha looked at Miroku with an unreadable look on his face.

 

“What time did you say again that you saw her?” Inuyasha asked, a thoughtful look crossing his face.

 

Miroku looked at Inuyasha, the questioning evident in his eyes before he replied. “Yesterday at lunch. Why?”

 

Inuyasha leaned forward in his chair, resting his elbows on the desk with his head propped up on his balled fist.

 

“No reason,” he mumbled distractedly. Miroku just grew confused at the look in Inuyasha's eyes, noticing how hard he was thinking before he nodded to himself and turned to face him.

 

“Is that all?” Inuyasha asked, not seeming as confused or distressed as Miroku thought he would be.

 

“Umm, yeah,” he replied, not knowing what to think of Inuyasha's nonchalant mood over the whole situation.

 

“I'll see ya later,” Miroku told Inuyasha before turning and making his way out of the hanyou's office, missing the cunning smile crossing Inuyasha's face.

 

Inuyasha chuckled to himself in the quietness of his office.

 

“Kagome you're so close that I can almost taste you,” he mumbled to himself, the fire in his eyes gleaming dangerously.

 

X_X_X_

Kagome laughed at Sachiko as she pranced around the hotel, dancing and singing childishly to one of her songs.

 

Sachiko turned her bright eyes to her mother, silently telling her that she wanted her to dance and sing along with her.

 

Kagome laughed again before hopping up and singing a solo part while Sachiko danced.

 

Sachiko smiled brightly at her mother, delighted that she was playing with her. Another solo part of the song came on and Kagome motioned that Sachiko should sing it. Sachiko smiled before taking over, singing to match her mother as much as she could.

 

Kagome smiled again with a giggle as she watched her child's antics.

 

The moment was ruined, though, as her phone began going off, screaming for her to pick it up.

 

Kagome rolled her eyes before walking over to the phone resting on the kitchen counter, pressing the pause button on the CD player on her way.

 

She grabbed the phone off the kitchen counter, rolling her eyes when she saw who it was on the caller ID.

 

Flipping it open Kagome asked very disdainfully, “What do you want Ron?” making sure her irritation was as clear as possible.

 

There was a nervous chuckle on the other end.

 

“Umm.” Ron stuttered.

 

“Ron, I told you that if you called me it better be an emergency.” Kagome began, irritated that she couldn't get a break with just her and her daughter every once in a while.

 

“Well, this is kind of an emergency,” Ron said uneasily, the uncertainty evident in his voice.

 

Kagome sighed before running a hand down her face.

 

“Fine, what is it?” she asked again, wanting to get him off the phone as soon as possible.

 

“Well, umm, you see, I got a call from someone very important today,” Ron told Kagome, trying to break the news to her as softly as he could.

 

“Ron,” Kagome started, letting his name hang in the air in a silent threat.

 

“Umm, well…the call I got was from the president of the Jano,” Ron told Kagome, silently wondering to himself why he had to risk his life in telling her this.

 

“Okay…” Kagome replied, feeling a knot work its way into her stomach, not liking where Ron was going with this. “And…?” she asked the man.

 

“Well, they want you to perform there,” Ron told Kagome.

 

She sighed in relief, feeling the knot in her stomach diminish. “Oh well, that's a relief,” she told Ron with a giggle.

 

Ron gulped to himself, saying a small prayer to whoever was merciful and told Kagome what he didn't want to tell her.

 

“Yeah, but hun, there's a catch,” Ron told Kagome.

 

Kagome raised her eyebrow in confusion. “And that would be…?” she asked him.

 

“You have to take off your mask,” Ron said.

 

Kagome just shrugged, “I do that all the time,” she told him.

 

“You have to do it with the cameras rolling.”

 

A long silence stretched between the two.

 

“What?” Kagome asked quietly.

 

Ron gulped before nodding; quickly remembering that she couldn't see him. “Uh, yeah.”

 

Kagome just laughed. “Ron you're crazy! That's like the biggest event of the year! Every rich person, celebrity, and fan will be watching or there!” Kagome laughed, finding Ron's sick sense of humor funny.

 

“Kagome, I'm not kidding,” the man told her, knowing for sure that he was going to die.

 

The laughing stopped as soon as it had started.

 

“You told them that I couldn't do it right?” Kagome asked, feeling her blood pressure rise in anger. “You told them that I couldn't, no won't do it, didn't you?!” Kagome yelled.

 

“Kagome,” Ron began, suddenly talking to her in such a seriousness that it caught Kagome's immediate attention. “I think that it's time you stop hiding and grow the fuck up,” Ron told her.

 

Kagome took the phone away from her ear and looked at it with an offended look, hurt that Ron—who had never talked to her in such a way—just said what he had.

 

“What?” she asked after pulling the phone back up to her ear, her question coming out breathless from the shock of what Ron had just said to her.

 

“I said, grow the fuck up! Kagome, you don't need to keep yourself hidden behind that god-damned mask! Stop running away from everything you hate to accept! If there is ever anything that you don't want to see, hear, or even know about, then you run! You fucking run like a god-damned coward!” Ron yelled at the girl, telling her this to hopefully get his point across.

 

Kagome stared hatefully at the kitchen counter top. “I don't run,” she told him quietly, too afraid that she would snap if she spoke any louder.

 

“Kagome you run from everything. The only thing that you couldn't run away from was your daughter, and guess what?! Everything turned out great between you two!” Ron yelled at Kagome, sick of how she pretended that she didn't run away from things she wasn't willing to accept.

 

“And you know what I hate the most Kagome?” Ron asked her, knowing that what he was about to say to her was something she needed to hear.

 

“What?” Kagome asked quietly, not a speck of emotion in her voice.

 

“You never stay to work it out. You always jump to conclusions.”

 

Tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes at that statement, her emotions, fears, and faults making her more insecure then she had ever felt.

 

“I know,” she said quietly, more to herself than Ron.

 

“Kagome?” Ron asked the girl.

 

“What?” Kagome asked, not knowing if she wanted to hear anything else he had to say to her.

 

“I'm only doing this because I love you,” he told her, the sincerity and concern in his voice clear.

 

Kagome laughed a watery laugh. “I know,” she told Ron, happy in a twisted way that someone had the balls to stand up and tell her that.

 

“I'll perform at the Jano,” Kagome told Ron after a moment of quiet. “You're right it's time that I stop hiding.”

 

Ron laughed. “That's my girl!” he exclaimed happily, pleased that he had finally knocked some sense into her.

 

Kagome laughed, dabbing at the corner of her eyes with her fingers as she realized that she was stronger then she thought. Ron was right. She didn't need to hide.

 

“Well then I'll talk to ya later Ron,” Kagome told Ron, seeing the impatient look on Sachiko's face. “I'm playing with Sachiko and I think she's getting irritated,” Kagome finished, earning a laugh from Ron.

 

“Like mother like daughter!” he told Kagome.

 

“Yeah, ha ha,” Kagome replied dryly.

 

“Oh! Wait! Before you hang up!” Ron yelled suddenly, remembering something else he had to tell her.

 

“Yeah?” Kagome asked, wondering what it was now that he had to tell her.

 

“Congratulations on the new boyfriend,” Ron said happily.

 

A look of confusion played across Kagome's face.

 

“Umm, Ron what are you talking about? I'm not dating anyone,” Kagome told the delusional man.

 

“Oh…you're not?” Ron asked, suddenly confused.

 

“No…” Kagome said, wondering what had gotten into him.

 

“Well some really hot guy came by the hotel room yesterday, like right after you left. He seemed to know you really well,” Ron told Kagome, trying to remember if there was anything suspicious about the guy.

 

“Oh…okay. Well what was his name?” Kagome asked, knowing that if Ron thought the man was hot then he probably was.

 

“Shit.” Ron cursed quietly, drawing a blank on his name. “I forgot damnit. It was like…yana, yaba, kanna…I don't know,” Ron rambled, trying to jog his memory.

 

“Oh well,” Kagome said. “Clearly he wasn't that important if you forgot.”

 

“It's not that,” Ron retaliated, “It's just that you wear me out!” he said dramatically, sighing and placing the back of his hand against his forehead for better emphasis.

 

“Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll talk to ya later Ron. Sachiko and I have some bonding time to catch up on,” Kagome told him, watching as Sachiko began tapping her little foot impatiently.

 

“Okay hun, I'll talk to ya later,” Ron told Kagome.

 

“'Bye,” Kagome told him, hanging the phone up and turning to Sachiko.

 

“Okay, okay! Where were we?” she asked teasingly, pushing the play button on the boom-box, laughing as Sachiko picked up where they left off.

 

X_X_X_

Ron walked around the room before suddenly stopping.

 

“Inuyasha!” he suddenly yelled, remembering the name of the man who had come to the hotel the day before.

 

He turned to pick the phone up again before dropping his hand.

 

“No, no, it's not that important,” he mumbled to himself, deciding that he had pushed it today in their conversation and he didn't want her pissed at him.

 

“Oh well,” Ron smiled devilishly. “I'm sure they'll meet again.”
