Chapter 16: The Tickets

Inuyasha glared at the wall in front of him. His frustration was overwhelming. He had been so close to Kagome, so fucking close, and then she just disappears off the face of the earth again.

 

In a sense though, he was relieved.

 

He found himself thankful that he wasn't the only one who had seen Kagome in the last week. The fact that Miroku and Sango had also seen her was a proof of his sanity and that it wasn't lost.

 

But still…

 

Inuyasha growled. How was it so fucking easy to lose one single woman?

 

It had been a week since Inuyasha had met that `Ron' fellow. He had alerted all youkai to keep a close eye out for her, and had asked local pedestrians if they knew where a Kagome Higurashi was. He was still—always—given the same answer, though.

 

No one knew where she was.

 

She was in Japan, but the damn question was where?

 

Where had she hidden herself?

 

Inuyasha ran his hands over his tired face.

 

It was no use dwelling over the situation. Being at work, dealing with Miroku, and having to live in the same house as Sesshomaru was stressful enough, and he needed a walk.

 

Inuyasha sighed before pushing himself up from his chair. He slid out from behind the desk and made his way to the lobby, stopping briefly to tell his secretary that he was going to be gone for a while.

 

The main entrance was crowded as normal, but Inuyasha paid no heed to it as he made his way out of the automatic sliding doors and into the streets of Tokyo. The sun on his face was refreshing to his shot nerves. The pedestrians took no notice of him, going about their every day without acknowledging him. The feeling was also refreshing. He was surprised at how happy he was to be ignored. Normally he demanded attention!

 

Inuyasha couldn't help but snicker quietly to himself.

 

A conversation from his right quickly caught his attention. Inuyasha perked as he heard a couple of teenage girls gossip about Blue, going on over some rumor that had recently developed, saying that Blue would unveil herself for the world and all to see at the Jano Awards.

 

Inuyasha diverted his attention away from the gossiping girls, not wanting to get his hopes up too high. He was quick to berate himself a moment later though, as he realized what it was exactly that he had just done, fall for the gossip that normal teenage girls—like Akina—so easily did.

 

“Damnit,” he mumbled to himself. “Stupid girls and their stupid gossip,” he complained quietly, making a secret mental note to check if the story was real or not.

Kagome looked out at the passing buildings with a smile on her face. Sachiko sat beside her, looking out of the opposite window, marveling at the streets bustling with pedestrians. She turned happy eyes towards her mother, excited that they were going to visit her grandmother again.

 

“Okaasan, how much longer until we make it to Grandma's?” she asked innocently, her eyes glowing with her excitement.

 

Kagome looked at her daughter briefly before turning back around to look at the passing scenery.

 

“Just a little longer, sweetie,” Kagome told her, noticing the familiarity of the streets and buildings.

 

Sachiko smiled a huge smile at her mother before turning her attention back to the view, trying hard to contain her excitement. She began to make small, unconscious, dog-like whimpers in the back of her throat, unable to contain her excitement completely. The noise was not a noise that Kagome had never heard. She had become used to the yelps, barks, whines, and whimpers Sachiko made when she was in certain moods. She was more than certain, though, that the man driving the taxi had never heard them.

 

She looked up sharply as soon as the noises became audible to her ears, looking at the rearview mirror as the taxi driver looked back at them, raising his eyebrow in curiosity. Kagome laughed nervously as she redirected her attention to her daughter.

 

“Sachiko!” Kagome yelled in a hushed whisper, trying to get her hanyou's attention.

 

The whimpers abruptly stopped as Sachiko looked away from the window and to her mother, a smile still on her face.

 

“Yes, Okaasan?” she asked curiously.

 

Kagome sighed and brought her face down to Sachiko's. “You were whimpering again,” Kagome whispered quietly in Sachiko's concealed human ear. Sachiko made a small squeak of embarrassment before her cheeks inflamed, becoming a deep red.

 

“Sorry,” she mumbled quietly, earning a small laugh from her mother.

 

“Hun, it's not me who cares, I think it's quite cute, but you know what happened the last time a stranger heard something like that?” Kagome asked quietly, knowing that Sachiko knew what she was talking about.

 

“I know Okaasan,” Sachiko mumbled again, the heat in her face turning an even darker shade of red.

 

Kagome just shook her head with a gentle smile on her face, deciding to not comment any further on the situation as the Sunset Shrine came into view. She mumbled to the taxi driver that that was where she wanted to be, waiting patiently as he pulled over by the mountain of stairs. Kagome got out of the cab before turning to Sachiko and getting her out of the cab, paying the man what she owed and watching as he burned rubber out of her sight. Kagome smiled down at Sachiko, hiking the child on her hip before turning and staring dreadfully at the mountain of stairs.

 

“Son of a bitch,” Kagome mumbled to herself, not in the least bit looking forward to climbing them.

 

“What Okaasan?” Sachiko asked. Kagome momentarily lost her footing before turning to her daughter, plastering a fake nervous smile on her face.

 

“Nothing! I said nothing!” Kagome exclaimed, laughing nervously under Sachiko's scrutinizing stare. Kagome smiled before turning her attention back to the task at hand. “Well I hope that you're ready to see Grandma, and you get to meet Uncle Sota too. I can only hope that he will be there like he told mama,” Kagome told Sachiko, mumbling the last part to herself while trying to strike a comfortable conversation between them. “Really?!” Sachiko asked her mother excitedly, “I didn't know that Uncle Sota would be there!”

 

Kagome laughed at her daughter. “Chicky I told you, what, ten times, that you would be meeting your Uncle today!” Kagome told Sachiko with a laugh. Sachiko blushed before hiding her face into Kagome's neck, trying to hide the hot blush on her face.

 

The two continued to chat to one another before Kagome finally saw the end of the stairs come into view. She let out a breath of relief, “I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel,” Kagome told Sachiko happily, trying not to pant from all the exertion. After all, the weight of gravity and the added weight of Sachiko got tiring.

 

As soon as Kagome cleared the last step and the shrine came into full view, she let Sachiko off of her hip, trying not to look too relieved as the blood circulation returned to her arms. Sachiko on the other hand, laughed loudly before running to the house and knocking vigorously on the door. There was a moment of silence before the door was opened and Ms. Higurashi smiled at the toddler, laughing and scooping her granddaughter into her arms. She stood by the door patiently with a soft smile on her face, watching as her daughter came walking to the house at a more controlled pace.

 

“Hello dear,” Miyome said to her daughter, embracing her with a one armed hug as she tried not to squash the little tike on her hip.

 

“Hello Mama,” Kagome replied, happy that she was with her mother again.

 

Miyome ushered Kagome into the door before closing it and calling for Sota loudly. A thump was heard from above the trio followed shortly by the padding of feet as he made his way from his room to the hallway. Kagome watched with a smile as her little brother, who was not as little as she remembered him being, made his way grudgingly down the stairs, mumbling obscenities to himself.

 

“Sota.” Miyome called, trying to get her son to look up. As soon as he did it was like a tidal wave of emotions burst from him. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, gaping like a fish at his sister as he tried to form a sentence with his shot mind, not being able to control what was happening. His emotions jumbled together as he saw his sister, his sister who he thought that he would never see again.

 

“Hey.” Kagome mumbled quietly, the smile never wavering from her face.

 

“Kagome!” Sota yelled before embracing her sister in a quick hug. He released her a moment later, shooting questions left and right with not a single breath or pause for her to answer.

 

“Whoa, whoa, calm down there,” Kagome told Sota, ruffling his hair like she had done so much in the past. “Let's start with one question at a time, but first you need to meet your new niece.” Sota looked at his sister confused, following her hand as she motioned for him to look at Miyome.

 

One again, Sota found himself gaping like a fish. Kagome reached over and pulled the necklace from around Sachiko's neck, watching as two black doggie ears emerged on the top of her head, as well as her canines appearing and the dangerous talons currently gripping her grandmother's shirt. If Sota hadn't realized who the father was by the ears, then the eyes were what would have given her away. Her eyes changed from a crystal blue, morphing into a golden honey color that so painfully resembled her father's.

 

“Oh my god.” Sota mumbled to himself.

 

Kagome sighed before shaking her head. “You can ask me all the questions you want, but the real reason I came here was to invite you to my coming out party,” Kagome told her mother and little brother. She was met with two different stares, one from her mother who was shocked—knowing what Kagome was talking about—and one from her brother who stared at her like she were insane.

 

Kagome laughed to herself before turning to her brother. “You have a lot to be told, little brother.”

Inuyasha smirked to himself as he dialed a number he had memorized by heart. It rang for a few seconds before a feminine voice answered.

 

“Hello?” Inuyasha's smirk grew even more.

 

“Why Sango! I haven't heard from you in a while,” he said, trying to strike conversation with the woman before he let the bomb fall.

 

“Yeah well, what can you do?” Sango replied; Inuyasha could almost imagine her shrugging her shoulders in mock sympathy.

 

“Well actually there is something I wanted to invite you and your lecherous husband to,” Inuyasha told Sango, getting right to the point.

 

“Oh?” she asked, the curiosity in her voice apparent, “And what would that be?”

 

Inuyasha felt the smirk return to his face.

 

“The Jano Awards.”
