Chapter 3:
"Sugoi!!! Houjo-kun this place is amazing!" Their so called 'apartment' is the whole top floor of the building, Houjo has really outdone himself.
He laughed at the look of the two, both eyes wide with their mouth agape. "Well...the company said they were going to give me the biggest they have. Plus I told them how you two are staying with me and I will only settle for the best."
Kagome looks at Houjo with a bit of skepticism, "you...Masuki Houjo, actually voicing your thoughts to your superiors?"
"So part of that statement is a little bit skewed...but you gotta admit, this place is fit for a king!"
"Or a hime!" the little child giggled. "Maybe Fluffy will have a friend soon Mama?"
Kagome knew what that meant, he daughter always wanted a pet, she loves animals, but right now Kagome didn't want to get one until they moved to their own place. "I don't know if the owner allows animals...but don't worry chigo...we will soon." Her daughter smiles in understanding. "Now...why don't you go and find out which one is your room?" The apartment has two bedrooms and an office, the two decided that they should turn that into her daughter's room so that she has more space for her toys.
"My room! Fluffy," she gasp holding her stuff dog so that they we're facing each other, "I have a room! Arigatou hakufu!!!" She runs straight to Houjo latching on to his leg, (sound familiar?) he looks down at the little demon and laugh at the childs antics.
"Yeah, only the best for the little hime," she giggles and ran off in search of her room.
"Don't forget, we're going to the park tonight!" Kagome cries out. "Wear something warm, it's gonna be chilly tonight!"
"Hai Mama!"
> > > >
It was another busy day at the shrine, Kikyo had just finished sweeping the long steps, needless to say she's exhausted. "Thank Kami it's fall," she loves this time of the season. To her it's the time when everyone get's ready for the big change that's soon about to takes place. Plus the colors of the leaves are beautiful, 'nature's masterpiece,' she muse.
Everything is quiet and peaceful, a rarity in her case. When was the last time she's had a time to herself? 'Years',she answered. The trees are beautiful, an array of reds', oranges', greens',and yellows' all ready to fall from any sudden movement the wind brings. The trees never looked this beautiful since...Kagome left.
Her feelings began to dampen when she began to think about the demoness, 'where can she be?' It's been two years, two long years since she last seen her. She remembered the last thing thing Kagome had told her, "Be happy with your life little sister...at least you don't have to live forever with the feeling of pain deep in you heart. I envy your kind, because in the end...you only remember the good things. My kind...we live forever...and forever is a long time especially when you're not with the person you love." That was the first time she has ever seen her that serious, Kagome was always happy she made others happy aswell. She has the heart and soul of a human trap in an immortal's body. "I only wish the best for you...oneesan," she smiled, realizing that's the first time she ever addressed her like that.
"Why are we at a shrine?" She heard the sound of a little girl and immdiately looked at the shrine steps to await her new visitors, 'at this time of the day?It's late,' usually peak hours are around noon. She felt an aura that seems to lighten her mood, she knows this aura...the aura of someone she hasn't seen in two long years.
"We are going to meet someone very important to me...I know you'll love her," answered a familiar voice. 'It couldn't be,' her eyes widened when she saw the figure of the person she was just thinking about. "Kagome..."
"It's been a long time Kikyo," Kagome stopped at the top of the stairs, she urged the little child behind her, who was currently hiding, to come up and meet the young miko. "I want you to meet Kikyo...she's like my little sister. Kikyo, please meet my daughter."
Kikyo looks at the little girl in front of her, silver hair, gold eyes, a full demon for sure, it can only mean one thing, she gasp covering her mouth with her small delicate hand, "Please to meet you Kikyo-sama," the little girl shyly approached the miko. Kikyo kneeled to get a better look at the little girl. She placed her hand on the little girl's cheek, her eyes getting misty.
"You're beautiful..." Kikyo whispered and looked at Kagome, "just like your mother," she grinned. "You and I are related you know..."
"Really...how?" the girl asked.
"You and I have the same ancestors, we are the descendants of the two hanyous Midoriko and Kaede," the little girl made a face indicating that she didn't understand.
"I've tried explaining that to her...she never got it...don't worry when it's time, I'll call ya," Kagome interrupted. Kikyo stood and looked at the little girl then back at her. "She was born a couple of years ago, I'm sorry I never called," came Kagome's answer.
"I understand...what brings you here?" She wiped the unshed tears from her eyes.
"We are staying not far from here, we just got here this morning...you're the first person I've seen so far. So how is everyone?"
"KIKYO!!! DID YOU EVER GET MY BOXERS WASHED?" Kagome knew who this was, how could she forget that brash hanyou, sure enough said inu was coming out of the shrine house. She tried to hold back the giggle from coming out when he stopped and stared at her wide eyed.
"Ka...Ka...KAGOME!!!" he ran past Kikyo and grabs a hold of Kagome spinning her around. "Where the hell have you been? You didn't even bother to call or tell anyone where you were going? We were all worried sick!?"
"Great to see you too Inuyasha," she giggled. Just then he noticed the little silver haired girl next to Kikyo.
"Hey...who's the girl?" his thumb pointing at the quiet girl staring at him.
"Inuyasha...I'd like you to meet...your niece. This is your Uncle Inuyasha." The little girl waved at the hanyou.
Inuyasha couldn't believe it, he was an uncle...wait if he's her uncle then that means.... Just before any word was said a loud thud was heard, Inuyasha was unconscious and currently on the ground.
"Oh dear," gasped Kikyo, her eyes widening.
"Haha...I like him, he's funny!" The little girl giggled while pointing at the fallen hanyou.
> > > >
Kagome took her daughter to the guestroom and gave her a coloring book to entertain herself with while she speaks privately with Inuyasha and Kikyo.
Just as she closed the door to well house...."YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SHE'S SESSHOUMARU'S KID!!!" She forgot just how difficult it is to speak privately when dealing with Inuyasha.
Kagome waved her hand frantically trying to calm the hanyou to prevent him from making a scene."Shh!!!! Be quiet Inuyasha!"
He just "feh'd" as usual and sat at the lip of the well, arms crossed, he looked right at Kagome with serious eyes, "okay...spill it..." he said with a deep voice.
"Yes...Sesshoumaru is her father... and I never actually told anyone this...except Mama...and Souta...and ojiisan...and Houjo...and his fiance," she laughed nervously, averting the two pairs of eyes that's looking intently at her and opted at looking at her glove, 'hey look at that...lint!'
"Does you daughter at least know who her father is?" Kagome just looked at her and again back at her gloved hands her cheeks a bit red tinge," I see..."
"That's it I'm calling him!" Inuyasha made a move to stand but was suddenly pushed back enough that he's close to falling down the well, two sapphire eyes looking dangerously at him, at that moment Inuyasha feared for his life, "or not?" he squeeked.
"No! If anyone will say anything about this it will be me!" She almost snarled her hold on his buttoned up red shirt getting tighter, blinking a few times she looked at Inuyasha to see him cringing," Gomen...Inuyasha...it's just...I'm scared...I want to tell him when the time's right." She slowly got off him, Inuyasha letting out the breath he's been holding in the whole time. "Please..."she looked at the two, "can we just keep this between us, I don't want Sesshoumaru to find out about her right now...plus I need to explain to her that she's going to meet her father soon." Inuyasha didn't even pay attention, he was too busy checking if his heart is beating, instead finding tiny rips her talons made.
Kikyo nodded her head in agreement, "we understand Kagome," she looked at Inuyasha, "don't we... Inuyasha?" He nodded his vigorously to prevent anymore unwated reactions or destruction of her favorite shirt, from any of the two. 'These two will be the death of me!'
"Thanks...well we better get going...I promised her we're going to the park, do you two want to come?" she smiled.
"Uh...no! No thanks Kagome...er...we're ah...we got some stuff to do," he grinned, while scratching the back of his head.
"O...kay..." Kagome was a bit suspicious..."Hey!" Inuyasha looked a bit nervous when she pointed at him, "Are you two planning on..." Inuyasha was sweating, "getting married?! I mean come on you two have been together for what, three years now...just tie the knot why don't you!"
He almost had a heart attack, "What!? I mean.." he crossed his arm again, raising his nose, "It's none of your bussiness!"
"He proposed three months ago," Kikyo showed the gold ring with a huge 2 carat diamond, which made Kikyo's tiny finger even smaller than possible, "we are to be married in Spring." Kagome's eyes was getting blurry with tears, "we are planning our wedding...that is why we can not go to the park with you. I believe Shippou is there...he misses you."
"Shippou!!! I miss that kitsune!" She gasped with excitement. "Aww... congratulations you two!!! Am I invited to the wedding?" The couple looked at each other then nodded, "KAWAII!!! I'll be there! Well I gotta go okay!"
The couple waved goodbye at the mother and daughter and as soon as they were gone Inuyasha grinned as if he had an evil plan in the works. "Inuyasha..."
"I'm calling that baka brother of mine," he walked in the house with Kikyo following him.
"We promised her!" Kikyo was not one to break a promise, especially because it deals with Kagome. "Let the two work out whatever dipute or problems they may have, we are not to get in the way, " she reasoned.
"Feh...we promised Kagome that we wouldn't tell Sesshoumaru about his daughter, we didn't promise that we weren't gonna tell him she's here! That baka...he had someone good and he just let it go...I would never do anything that stupid!" (A/N: kinda sound hypocritical there huh?) He dialed the number to his brother's cellphone, knowing he had to answer it because it was his 'emergency only' number.
"What." answered the other line.
"Guess who's back?" Inuyasha said in a sing song voice which didn't sound all too good, he smiled, looking at Kikyo who was not very comfortable with what he is doing.
"Inuyasha...you sound like a dying cat do you anything important to say, I have no time to play such foolish games," he bit back.
He was fuming, he was the one that's suppose to piss of Sesshoumaru, well two can play that game,"now that she's here again I suppose your gonna work you ass to ground again and drive her away like last time huh?" he said, none too sweetly.
"...." Inuyasha smile grew bigger 'checkmate', his brother knew exactly who he was referring to.
"Yeah...she said something about going to the park...I don't know about you but I'd get there as fast as my demon legs could ge-" the phone was cut off. "Knew he wasn't that stupid."
