Clearly in Denial
Chapter 4 – Feeling Way to Damn Good
-
The week for Kagome had gone by fairly quickly. Despite work it had been a good week. She had met up with Sango on Sunday and showed her the city. It had been strange to see Sango’s excitement over little things such as the subway, or the ridiculous amount of cabs. The city was really Kagome’s work when she thought about it. Looking over it, protecting it. She found it hard to enjoy it anymore yet with this woman she had just met she had found herself really enjoying herself. Sango had become Kagome’s first real friend in a long time and that thought alone made her that much happier.
‘Now to get a decent lay’ she thought whilst flicking through papers, signing what needed to be signed and glancing over cases to be handed out.
“Higurashi!”
“What?” she jumped in surprise leaning forward from her desk and peering out from all the piled up paper work.
“Oh, Hojo, sorry I was daydreaming”
“Are you sure, I called your name several times. Are you feeling well? Perhaps you should take the rest of the day of…”
“I’m quite well I assure you”
“What’s this, someone not well?” a gruff voice called out.
“Its Higurashi sir”
“Hojo! I’m fine” Kagome spoke firmly she didn’t want her boss calling her weak or something. He was somewhat sexist.
“Higurashi huh!”
The head of the department was a fairly tall man who was pretty plain looking. He was in his late forties and had dull brown hair which was always sticking up at the side. Kagome often wondered if he had ever brushed it, at least once in his life. She had always felt an urge to flatten it down whenever she saw him, it was that annoying. Either that or perhaps her life really was so dull that she found herself annoyed at such trivial things. He was the only man in the department who had a moustache, perhaps an authority thing, and he had a clear beer belly that was restrained by a plain leather belt, always.
“Don’t tell me it’s getting too much for you. Well we don’t want you injuring yourself, paper cuts and such”
Kagome flinched, great here we go ‘women, the weaker sex’ she thought in annoyance.
“Boss, I’m quite all right. I was just…”
Whilst she struggled with an excuse other than daydreaming on the job she noticed Hojo's concerned eyes.
‘Geez he has no bloody reason to be like that. There’s nothing bloomin wrong with me!’
“Well I suppose you have had more work lately and after your good work with last weeks case why don’t you take the rest of the day of”
Now that was a surprise!
“What?!” Kagome looked up at the head with wide eyes. She had not expected that at all!! She was sure she was stuttering. ‘What happened to women are incompetent and need to be challenged so they may compete with men!’ she questioned herself mentally imitating her bosses voice.
“Are you sure, I mean I really do feel...”
“Yes yes! Hojo here can do some of that paper work cant you boy!”
Up until that point Hojo seemed to have been quite content however he just smiled and answered agreeably.
“Ah well that’s sorted” The man walked over to Kagome's desk picking up a pile of untouched papers handing them to Hojo and walking out the office.
Kagome smiled to herself when she noticed her fellow officer struggling with the large pile of papers.
“Well I hope you feel better tomorrow Higurashi”
“I’m sure I will Hojo” Kagome replied smiling, she had recovered from her shock and was bounding out the door. This opportunity was very rare and she planned to take advantage of it.
-
The jingle of bells alerted Sango to her next customer. She smiled brightly when she found it was her new friend.
“Kagome shouldn’t you be at work!”
“I should” Kagome laughed mischievously “But I'm not, I’m ill apparently”
“You are?” Sango answered confused though smiling.
When she had first met the girl there had been sadness in her but since they had met she had been smiling whenever she had the chance. Sango nodded to herself absently, she was happy here. Her business was doing well despite it only being open for 3 weeks or so and she hadn’t been lost once. That was a good sign.
“I got of and I didn’t have to do a thing. I’m going to enjoy this!”
“By spending your time here?”
“Sure”
“You are a strange one Kagome”
“I try”
Kagome reached over the counter spotting a large tray of freshly made doughnuts.
“Hey!” Sango lightly slapped her friend’s hand. “If you want those you’re going to have to help me. I’m the only staff today!”
“I get of work to do more work...geeee” Kagome laughed walking around the counter to beside Sango, “Then again it’s a fair deal”
Within moments Kagome had used the staff room to pull of her jacket and badge leaving her in pinstripe pants and a plain white shirt.
“Where do you want me Sango?” she asked moving to the café section where Sango stood smiling with an apron in her hands.
“Come on I customised them myself, see this little logo” Sango grinned pointing proudly to the little design on the front beside the name of the café. The apron itself was a deep red with a hint of purple.
“Cute Sango really” replied Kagome laughing as she let Sango put on the apron.
Grinning wildly Kagome stood her hands clasped, “I have to say” she said in a loud dramatic voice, “This is one of the happiest days in my life. To be accepted as a genuine Café Moto worker. I just want to thank my mother and my father and my little annoying brother.” She bowed wiping pretend tears from her eyes as Sango giggled.
“Bravo!” Sango cheered.
“Ahem!”
The two girls spun round red faced to greet their customer.
-
“I think…I’m pooped!”
“I knoooow” groaned Sango as she rested her head on the till.
“I didn’t know it would get so busy! And painful!”
Sango looked towards the raven haired girl confused. “Painful?”
“God yea. All those people, Buying my Doughnuts!” she sighed dramatically
“Ah I see, well you have to admit those guys that came in earlier were pretty hot”
Kagome laughed hysterically remembering, “I kept missing their order I was too busy staring, “Oh I’m sorry, could you repeat that” she spoke in a dumb tone a large goofy smile upon her lips.
“Then again that guy...oh yes…Emanuel was something huh!”
The two girls laughed.
“Oh my god I can’t believe him. He was hot but what a sad git!
Kagome stood tall ready to imitate, she took Sango’s hands and put on a comic and deep voice, “Excuse me miss, but I couldn’t help but notice how stunningly beautiful you are” Sango broke out into a fit of laughter while trying to play along putting on a gormless look. “Please if you would allow me, Emanuel” Kagome punched her chest proudly, “I shall take you away! On my big white stallion and we shall ride into the sunset and have a big family. Now away!”
“OH YES YES EMANUEL. We must but no. what would my family say” Sango shouted playfully thankful the café was currently empty.
“They will love me my darling for I am EMANUEL”
“Does Emanuel do coffee?” a deep voice asked playfully.
Kagome jumped for what seemed the millionth time that day and gasped.
“That bell really doesn’t worry” Sango mumbled a smile on her lips.
Kagome struggled to say anything. It was Him! Again! Those eyes were such stunning amber and they looked at her playfully, clearly he heard her big scene.
“Uh...we uh...ye...”
“Yes we have coffee sir” Sango answered for her friend.
Inuyasha looked at the two girls behind the counter. The one who had answered him was taller than the other and she had long deep brown hair that was tied into a neat ponytail. Her browns eyes were full of amusement. The other, he did recognise. He had bumped into her the other week. Her ebony hair was tied into a messy bun and she seemed terribly embarrassed.
“Well I’ll just have a simple cup of coffee then”
“Opposed to a…” Kagome asked.
“One where I have to make a million choices. Like Starbucks”
“Ah yes” Kagome muttered turning to check on the pastries and such though it was pointless.
“That’s one coffee sir, will that be all?”
“Yes thanks.”
After handing over his money he went to sit down by the window pulling out a folder and sitting back in one of the sofa seats. Sango grinned sending a knowing look to Kagome.
“What!? Can I have my doughnut now?”
“Sure Kagome”
Smiling she lifted the clear lid her eyes brightening as she reached for the one doughnut left, ‘sprinkles yum’
“What are you like?” Sango muttered while wiping down the counter top.
“What do you mean?” she said despite her mouthful of doughnut.
“Geez you must hang around guys to much”
“Yep just not the right ones!”
Leaning closer Sango whispered, “What about that one” casually pointing to the man who had just entered and had her friend blushing.
Kagome’s blush returned and she poked Sango in the side. “Don’t be stupid”
“How am I?!” She said laughing whilst serving another customer.
‘This is New York, a city, a big city…no HUGE, what are the chances of seeing him again?’ Kagome thought absently leaning on her hand on the counter. She tried desperately not to stare at him but he was…something else all right. ‘Tall, well built from what she could see. That long silver, almost white hair. Did he dye it…that is a tad strange but still he suits it. And those eyes, there...’
Sango noticed her friends glazed over eyes and realised it wasn’t over the doughnuts. She walked over to her silently and mimicked her expression. She found it amusing that Kagome was talking aloud but seemed completely unaware.
“…Amazing” Sango uttered laughing at her friends surprised look.
“Talking aloud?”
“yep”
“Great”
“I imagine you were also thinking. I wonder what he looks like without that shirt on”
Sango giggled at Kagome’s shocked face, “Am I right then”
“No!” declared Kagome, “However that is a good point” she added smiling at her friend.
-
Inuyasha smiled to himself. He had enjoyed making the girl uncomfortable.
He had to admit though there was something about her. He kept thinking he had seen her previously, before she had bumped into him that is. There was just something about her and she wouldn’t leave his mind. He was very much aware of the girls’ appreciative glances but he didn’t mind. If only he could remember where this ‘Emanuel’ was from. He thought with a grin.
“It’s raining! Man look at it come down!” Kagome uttered. She noticed the silver haired male look up and out the window and she frowned. Had he heard her? She hadn’t been that loud.
Just then the bells jingled wildly as the door opened and another male entered the café. He looked around absently before dumping his jacket beside the male beside the window. He smiled pleasantly and Sango couldn’t help but smile herself.
“AHA!” Kagome shouted from behind her causing her to gasp in surprise.
“What?” she asked innocently.
“Oh come on. I saw that look. You want some to!!!” she laughed, “He’s no bad I’ll give you that”
It was now Sango turn to blush, “Kagome!” her mouth then turned upwards into a somewhat malicious look. “Perhaps you should go see if he wants something?”
“Well then” Kagome picked up a notepad, “I figured you would have wanted to serve him. Oh well.” She turned her back to her friend before she stopped. It was only then she had noticed who he had sat beside.
“Oh har har Sango soo smart”
“Not really you were just soo unaware” she said with a playful grin pushing Kagome out from behind the counter laughing at her friend’s uneasiness. “You should have worn a mini” she whispered humorously.
Kagome walked stiffly to the table.
“Hi, what can I get for you?” she asked as pleasantly as she could whilst cursing her friend.
“Oh well I have to say there are a lot of things I want” the man smiled at her. His dark black hair slightly wet and hanging over his eyes which appeared to be blue. Kagome was a little unsure what he meant but she had some idea.
“Miroku, cut it out. Cant you take a break from being a lecher for one day” the other man mumbled.
Kagome smirked, ‘this could be interesting’
“Oh that’s ok!”
“See Inuyasha she doesn’t mind at all. A lot of women find me quite charming actually”
‘So that’s his name’ Kagome thought.
Inuyasha just looked at the girl curiously, ‘What is she thinking? Perhaps she is just dumb’
“Oh yea my friend over there loves lechers though I’ve never been sure why. She said she thought you were hot you know. She must be drawn to your type” Kagome spoke trying to keep the smile from her face. She was trying to sound simple and probably pulling it off. She was desperately trying to ignore the one called Inuyasha though.
“Oh really” Miroku muttered a knowing grin on his face.
“It’s not wise to put ideas in his head you know”
She couldn’t avoid it. She could feel those glowing amber eyes on her. She looked at his though briefly. Just to acknowledge him, she didn’t want to appear rude.
“Ideas?” She asked stupidly.
‘What’s taking so long’ Sango thought to herself. She was beginning to dread what Kagome was saying. Her eyes nervously looked to the table and sofas where the two men where along with her waitress for the day.
“Oh yea she would like that” Kagome replied enthusiastically to Miroku laughing madly inside. ‘Sango might actually get something out of this’
Sango continued to clear one of the tables and return to the front counter when she noticed the man who had just entered approach her.
‘Oh my God what is he doing?’ her mind was a nervous wreck by the time he reached her and she tried to look as though she didn’t see him until it was unbearably obvious he was there and she had seen him.
“Um, how can I help you?” she asked whilst nervously glancing back to her friend.
‘Oh your sooo getting it!’
-
“You’re either scheming something or the worst cupid I’ve ever seen”
Looking down Kagome noticed she was being spoken to.
“Um. Neither actually”
“And whys that? Wouldn’t suit the diaper and arrows”
The dark haired girls widened, ‘Just what am I suppose to say to him. I don’t know him. I’m not used to this but I guess it is my fault’
“I’m not sure anyone can pull that look of”
“hmm”
His voice was deep and held a hint of roughness. She found herself at a loss of what to say to the man in front of her.
-
“Oh I was wondering how I could help you”
“Excuse me?” Sango asked clearly baffled.
“You know you’re a very beautiful women and the fact you appreciate a fine man such as myself shows you have sense”
Sango mouth dropped slightly, ‘what the fuck?’
Kagome laughed to herself. He was really playing up to the lecher title. She listened intently waiting to see her friend’s reaction. She was clearly embarrassed.
Just then a man who had been sitting further back in the café got up in a rush heading for the door speaking animatedly on his mobile. His face was bright red and he seemed incredibly pissed and in no mood to stop pushing past Kagome roughly knocking her down.
“AH! HEY ASSHOLE, MANNERS!” she shouted in frustration ignorant to what she had landed on.
“That’s service” came the sarcastic comment. It was quiet but she could hear it loud and clear. Kagome struggled to move as she turned her head and was face to face with the man who had been occupying most of her thoughts. There was a smirk on his face as he looked at her flushed one. His mouth wasn’t far from her own and she understood why she had heard him so well.
“And what service!”
The two on the couch gasped in surprise, they had not been aware of there company.Miroku laughed. “Comfortable? Your friends quite the spitfire!”
“Really?” Kagome asked trying to cover her embarrassment as she tried to remove herself from Inuyasha’s lap.
“Watch were you put your hands” though his voice was gruff it still amused him to see the waitress squirm finally pushing herself up.
Inuyasha looked to his friend not surprised to see a red mark across his face.
“Did you really expect anything else?” he asked.
“Well she was certainly something. Besides I like a challenge.”
Inuyasha shook his head, “You will never change”
Kagome looked nervously from the two. ‘Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea’
Turning she went back to her friend to see the damage.
Sango was positively steaming. “WHAT A COMPLETE AND UTTER PERVE” she ground out angrily. Her eyes found Kagome’s and her expression didn’t change despite Kagome’s weak smile.
“It was just a joke…you know haha”
“A…joke. So you knew he was a dirty shit!”
“Um…no!” Kagome squealed before rushing through the back running from her angered friend, “Seriously it wasn’t serious!”
“See what you’ve done now?”
“What ah come on female friends like to chase each other all the time. It’s completely normal”
“What are you on? Bay watch? Maybe in your mind its normal.”
“I can’t help if they want to fight over me” The dark haired man leaned back in his seat a lopsided grin on his face.
Inuyasha could only laugh, is friend was…well blind. He had to be either that or just plain stupid.
-
“Kagome” Sango laughed, “He’s the real deal”
“Wait you mean you actually liked that guy?” Kagome asked in complete shock.
“Hell no. I meant He’s the real live Emanuel.”
The two girls laughed in the back room.
“So you’re not mad at me?”
“Nah. It’s been a while since I slapped somewhat. It was pretty amusing. But seriously, are there no decent guys out there?”
“Probably not”
“Hmm really? So you seemed pretty comfortable. Who’s the hunk?”
“SANGO!” Kagome shouted blushing. “I was pushed ok! That’s all. Besides as far as I could tell he was pretty arrogant”
“Least he wasn’t a lecher” she smiled coyly. “You do like him though?”
Kagome paused. She wasn’t sure. As silly as it was she was just more curious than anything else.
“I don’t know anything about him Sango. He could be a raving lunatic for all I know. Or a crook or worse, a cop.”
“You’re such a detective Kagome” Sango stated laughing. “Why don’t you ask him? Sometimes in life we have to make the first move it’s as simple as that”
The girls were soon alerted to the bell at the till.
“Customer” Sango sighed.
-
“So Inuyasha what’s on your mind?”
He would never tell his friend the truth. The lecher would only take something he said and make it worse anyway. But that girl, She was starting to plague him and it was somewhat disruptive. He was here for one thing. Revenge. Getting involved with some girl was something he couldn’t afford to do.
“Just this file I got from Jasper”
“God he must have freaked when he saw you. Bless the old man!”
Inuyasha smirked to himself before his face turned cold. “He’s good for something I guess.” He muttered holding up a plain brown envelope.
“What’s that then?” Miroku asked curiously accepting it and taking a look”
“All the information on the project started 12 years ago”
“But…I thought that only started 5 years ago. You mean it had been running all that time?”
“Yes. It still is Miroku”
Miroku coughed the surprise evident in his expression, “You can’t be serious”
Inuyasha's eyed his friend, “Deadly. I imagine you know what I’m planning to do now”
“Yes” Miroku sighed ruffling his hair. “I…I understand why you want to do this Inu but…these guys there…different. They will kill you”
“What little faith dear friend. You know I’ve learned from previous mistakes I Know what I have to do now” his friend radiated confidence in his tone but he had always been that way. It did nothing to calm Miroku. He also knew that when his friend made a choice there was no going back.
“Well old friend” he declared stretching, “You know I’m here if you need anything”
“I was counting on that. Besides you still owe me”
“Wha? I don’t recall”
“Oh come on think Russia, 7 years ago”
Miroku took on a thoughtful stance before he laughed wickedly, “ah yes but what fun we did have”
“We?!” Inuyasha sighed, there was no changing him.
“Whatever I’ve got to go anyways, I’ll catch you later.”
Inuyasha stood picking up his jacket heading for the door; he could feel her eyes on him again. It was a little annoying to say the least, turning his head he looked directly at the girl he had learned was called Kagome and licked his lips laughing to himself when she ducked behind the counter. He left quite amused.
‘OH MY FUCKING GOD!’
“Kagome? What are you doing down there?” Sango asked quizzically.
“Oh uh…Nothing.”
Sango smirked, “Sure” before leaning down so she could look her friend in the eye.
“You know I mentioned to that guy your name…just in case he or his FRIEND might like it”
Sango giggled as she dogged her friend’s hand.
“You didn’t!!!”
“Haha, opps. Was I not suppose to”
“Oh great. There goes a wonderfully embarrassing day”
-
Yea yea it’s been a while I realise that but I tried. Enjoy even though it’s a majourly lame chapter. Just some things I had to get out of the way. Em yea I have to say I liked EMANUEL hahahaha. I do stupid things like that all the time, some day someone’s totally gonna laugh in my face when I try an impression. Lol.
DiScLaImEr –Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. I don’t know why u need to know that I would imagine it’s pretty obvious by now…ah well!

“Oh, Hojo, sorry I was daydreaming”

Sango noticed her friends glazed over eyes and realised it wasn’t over the doughnuts. She walked over to her silently and mimicked her expression. She found it amusing that Kagome was talking aloud but seemed completely unaware.
“…Amazing” Sango uttered laughing at her friends surprised look.
“Talking aloud?”
“yep”
“Great”
“I imagine you were also thinking. I wonder what he looks like without that shirt on”
Sango giggled at Kagome’s shocked face, “Am I right then”
“No!” declared Kagome, “However that is a good point” she added smiling at her friend.
-
Inuyasha smiled to himself. He had enjoyed making the girl uncomfortable.
He had to admit though there was something about her. He kept thinking he had seen her previously, before she had bumped into him that is. There was just something about her and she wouldn’t leave his mind. He was very much aware of the girls’ appreciative glances but he didn’t mind. If only he could remember where this ‘Emanuel’ was from. He thought with a grin.
“It’s raining! Man look at it come down!” Kagome uttered. She noticed the silver haired male look up and out the window and she frowned. Had he heard her? She hadn’t been that loud.
Just then the bells jingled wildly as the door opened and another male entered the café. He looked around absently before dumping his jacket beside the male beside the window. He smiled pleasantly and Sango couldn’t help but smile herself.
“AHA!” Kagome shouted from behind her causing her to gasp in surprise.
“What?” she asked innocently.
“Oh come on. I saw that look. You want some to!!!” she laughed, “He’s no bad I’ll give you that”
It was now Sango turn to blush, “Kagome!” her mouth then turned upwards into a somewhat malicious look. “Perhaps you should go see if he wants something?”
“Well then” Kagome picked up a notepad, “I figured you would have wanted to serve him. Oh well.” She turned her back to her friend before she stopped. It was only then she had noticed who he had sat beside.
“Oh har har Sango soo smart”
“Not really you were just soo unaware” she said with a playful grin pushing Kagome out from behind the counter laughing at her friend’s uneasiness. “You should have worn a mini” she whispered humorously.
Kagome walked stiffly to the table.
“Hi, what can I get for you?” she asked as pleasantly as she could whilst cursing her friend.
“Oh well I have to say there are a lot of things I want” the man smiled at her. His dark black hair slightly wet and hanging over his eyes which appeared to be blue. Kagome was a little unsure what he meant but she had some idea.
“Miroku, cut it out. Cant you take a break from being a lecher for one day” the other man mumbled.
Kagome smirked, ‘this could be interesting’
“Oh that’s ok!”
“See Inuyasha she doesn’t mind at all. A lot of women find me quite charming actually”
‘So that’s his name’ Kagome thought.
Inuyasha just looked at the girl curiously, ‘What is she thinking? Perhaps she is just dumb’
“Oh yea my friend over there loves lechers though I’ve never been sure why. She said she thought you were hot you know. She must be drawn to your type” Kagome spoke trying to keep the smile from her face. She was trying to sound simple and probably pulling it off. She was desperately trying to ignore the one called Inuyasha though.
“Oh really” Miroku muttered a knowing grin on his face.
“It’s not wise to put ideas in his head you know”
She couldn’t avoid it. She could feel those glowing amber eyes on her. She looked at his though briefly. Just to acknowledge him, she didn’t want to appear rude.
“Ideas?” She asked stupidly.
‘What’s taking so long’ Sango thought to herself. She was beginning to dread what Kagome was saying. Her eyes nervously looked to the table and sofas where the two men where along with her waitress for the day.
“Oh yea she would like that” Kagome replied enthusiastically to Miroku laughing madly inside. ‘Sango might actually get something out of this’
Sango continued to clear one of the tables and return to the front counter when she noticed the man who had just entered approach her.
‘Oh my God what is he doing?’ her mind was a nervous wreck by the time he reached her and she tried to look as though she didn’t see him until it was unbearably obvious he was there and she had seen him.
“Um, how can I help you?” she asked whilst nervously glancing back to her friend.
‘Oh your sooo getting it!’
-
“You’re either scheming something or the worst cupid I’ve ever seen”
Looking down Kagome noticed she was being spoken to.
“Um. Neither actually”
“And whys that? Wouldn’t suit the diaper and arrows”
The dark haired girls widened, ‘Just what am I suppose to say to him. I don’t know him. I’m not used to this but I guess it is my fault’
“I’m not sure anyone can pull that look of”
“hmm”
His voice was deep and held a hint of roughness. She found herself at a loss of what to say to the man in front of her.
-
“Oh I was wondering how I could help you”
“Excuse me?” Sango asked clearly baffled.
“You know you’re a very beautiful women and the fact you appreciate a fine man such as myself shows you have sense”
Sango mouth dropped slightly, ‘what the fuck?’
Kagome laughed to herself. He was really playing up to the lecher title. She listened intently waiting to see her friend’s reaction. She was clearly embarrassed.
Just then a man who had been sitting further back in the café got up in a rush heading for the door speaking animatedly on his mobile. His face was bright red and he seemed incredibly pissed and in no mood to stop pushing past Kagome roughly knocking her down.
“AH! HEY ASSHOLE, MANNERS!” she shouted in frustration ignorant to what she had landed on.
“That’s service” came the sarcastic comment. It was quiet but she could hear it loud and clear. Kagome struggled to move as she turned her head and was face to face with the man who had been occupying most of her thoughts. There was a smirk on his face as he looked at her flushed one. His mouth wasn’t far from her own and she understood why she had heard him so well.
“And what service!”
The two on the couch gasped in surprise, they had not been aware of there company.Miroku laughed. “Comfortable? Your friends quite the spitfire!”
“Really?” Kagome asked trying to cover her embarrassment as she tried to remove herself from Inuyasha’s lap.
“Watch were you put your hands” though his voice was gruff it still amused him to see the waitress squirm finally pushing herself up.
Inuyasha looked to his friend not surprised to see a red mark across his face.
“Did you really expect anything else?” he asked.
“Well she was certainly something. Besides I like a challenge.”
Inuyasha shook his head, “You will never change”
Kagome looked nervously from the two. ‘Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea’
Turning she went back to her friend to see the damage.
Sango was positively steaming. “WHAT A COMPLETE AND UTTER PERVE” she ground out angrily. Her eyes found Kagome’s and her expression didn’t change despite Kagome’s weak smile.
“It was just a joke…you know haha”
“A…joke. So you knew he was a dirty shit!”
“Um…no!” Kagome squealed before rushing through the back running from her angered friend, “Seriously it wasn’t serious!”
“See what you’ve done now?”
“What ah come on female friends like to chase each other all the time. It’s completely normal”
“What are you on? Bay watch? Maybe in your mind its normal.”
“I can’t help if they want to fight over me” The dark haired man leaned back in his seat a lopsided grin on his face.
Inuyasha could only laugh, is friend was…well blind. He had to be either that or just plain stupid.
-
“Kagome” Sango laughed, “He’s the real deal”
“Wait you mean you actually liked that guy?” Kagome asked in complete shock.
“Hell no. I meant He’s the real live Emanuel.”
The two girls laughed in the back room.
“So you’re not mad at me?”
“Nah. It’s been a while since I slapped somewhat. It was pretty amusing. But seriously, are there no decent guys out there?”
“Probably not”
“Hmm really? So you seemed pretty comfortable. Who’s the hunk?”
“SANGO!” Kagome shouted blushing. “I was pushed ok! That’s all. Besides as far as I could tell he was pretty arrogant”
“Least he wasn’t a lecher” she smiled coyly. “You do like him though?”
Kagome paused. She wasn’t sure. As silly as it was she was just more curious than anything else.
“I don’t know anything about him Sango. He could be a raving lunatic for all I know. Or a crook or worse, a cop.”
“You’re such a detective Kagome” Sango stated laughing. “Why don’t you ask him? Sometimes in life we have to make the first move it’s as simple as that”
The girls were soon alerted to the bell at the till.
“Customer” Sango sighed.
-
“So Inuyasha what’s on your mind?”
He would never tell his friend the truth. The lecher would only take something he said and make it worse anyway. But that girl, She was starting to plague him and it was somewhat disruptive. He was here for one thing. Revenge. Getting involved with some girl was something he couldn’t afford to do.
“Just this file I got from Jasper”
“God he must have freaked when he saw you. Bless the old man!”
Inuyasha smirked to himself before his face turned cold. “He’s good for something I guess.” He muttered holding up a plain brown envelope.
“What’s that then?” Miroku asked curiously accepting it and taking a look”
“All the information on the project started 12 years ago”
“But…I thought that only started 5 years ago. You mean it had been running all that time?”
“Yes. It still is Miroku”
Miroku coughed the surprise evident in his expression, “You can’t be serious”
Inuyasha's eyed his friend, “Deadly. I imagine you know what I’m planning to do now”
“Yes” Miroku sighed ruffling his hair. “I…I understand why you want to do this Inu but…these guys there…different. They will kill you”
“What little faith dear friend. You know I’ve learned from previous mistakes I Know what I have to do now” his friend radiated confidence in his tone but he had always been that way. It did nothing to calm Miroku. He also knew that when his friend made a choice there was no going back.
“Well old friend” he declared stretching, “You know I’m here if you need anything”
“I was counting on that. Besides you still owe me”
“Wha? I don’t recall”
“Oh come on think Russia, 7 years ago”
Miroku took on a thoughtful stance before he laughed wickedly, “ah yes but what fun we did have”
“We?!” Inuyasha sighed, there was no changing him.
“Whatever I’ve got to go anyways, I’ll catch you later.”
Inuyasha stood picking up his jacket heading for the door; he could feel her eyes on him again. It was a little annoying to say the least, turning his head he looked directly at the girl he had learned was called Kagome and licked his lips laughing to himself when she ducked behind the counter. He left quite amused.
‘OH MY FUCKING GOD!’
“Kagome? What are you doing down there?” Sango asked quizzically.
“Oh uh…Nothing.”
Sango smirked, “Sure” before leaning down so she could look her friend in the eye.
“You know I mentioned to that guy your name…just in case he or his FRIEND might like it”
Sango giggled as she dogged her friend’s hand.
“You didn’t!!!”
“Haha, opps. Was I not suppose to”
“Oh great. There goes a wonderfully embarrassing day”
