Chapter 5 : Old Neighborhood

Inuyasha pushed the button second floors, he tied his tie with looking at elevator mirror. Few seconds later he walked out from the elevator. He stopped in front of Kagome's Gallery. From window he could see she prepared some long dress on the mannequins. "May I come in?"

"Oh, hi Inu." Kagome put the dress that she grabbed, on the desk. "Come in. I don't lock the door. "Inu opened the door and walked in. "You come early. How are you today?" He gave her a friendly hug. "I'm fine. Thank you. I have to prepare this dress. You are the one who said that I'm beginning to work today, right?" Said Kagome. Inu give her his famous smirk. "Yea, right." He scanned surrounding that big room. "By the way, don't u have assistant?"

"No, I don't. I'm used to prepare all by myself. Sango helped me sometimes."

"Hooo… Are you a perfectionist person?" Kagome laughed a little. "Well, not really actually. It's just that I have enjoyed all my activity. Besides, my dresses are only one in this world. Not any of these are same."

"I see…Wow!" Said Inu, made Kagome's cheeks turned pink this time. "Actually, I want to invite you to have dinner at my house tonight. Would you?" Kagome smiled to him. "Pleasure…"

Mrs. Yasha took out a hot strawberry cake from oven. "Yup, this is the last." When she prepared it on the table, she saw from window that her son arrived with a woman whom wear a black short dress with pattern white horizontal line in front the chest. Hurriedly she approached them.

Inu almost jumped when he wanted to open the main door but suddenly the door cracked open with his mother behind it, giving them big wide smile. "Hello Mom." He gave her a comfort hug and peck on her right cheek, then he stepped aside, showing Kagome.

"So, this is your new friend you talking about?" Mrs. Yasha smiled at Kagome. "Yes, Mother. This is Kagome Higurashi." Said Inu. "Hello, Mrs. Yasha, how are you?" Asked Kagome. "I'm perfectly fine, thank you, dear. Come on in. I'm just finish prepared my cooking." Said Mrs. Yasha.

After finished with the dinner, they're talking and laughing on the coach in front of the television. "By the way, with who do you live now, Kagome?" Asked Mrs. Yasha. "how is your family?"

"They are good. I live alone now for 3 years. My family live in Kobe. My mother, Grandpa, and my little brother, Sota. They run a shrine at there."

"I see, what is your mother name?" Asked Mrs. Yasha. "It's Reiko Higurashi." Mrs. Yasha gasp at this, then laugh harder until she cried.

"What's so funny, Mom?" Inu and Kagome give confused stare to her. "Ahahaha… You know what, the world is really narrow. Her family was our neighbor long time ago." This time, Inu laugh hard with his mother too, leaving Kagome dumbly watching the mother and son.

Finally after both of them can calm, Mrs. Yasha told Kagome what cause all of that laughing. "Sorry, dear… We don't mean to be rude like that. It's just we don't believe it at first." Kagome smiled at her. "It's ok. I can see the funny side of this."

"So, how is your mother?" Asked Mrs. Yasha. "She lives with Grandpa and my younger brother, Sota." Said Kagome. "How about your father?" Kagome frowned at this. "He died when Sota was two years old. An accident on the street, he hit by a drunken car." "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, dear…" Mrs. Yasha hold Kagome's hand to give her support. "It's ok. We could accept this suddenly lost long time ago." Kagome smiled again. "Can I have your family number? I want to call your mother, speaking old times when we were still neighborhood." Said Mrs. Yasha. "Sure." Kagome wrote the number at a purple paper beside the phone then gave it to her. "Well, can we start to eat?" Asked Inu sheepishly. "I'm hungry." Both of the women laugh at this, they went to the dining room to eat together.

Several minutes later…

"Wow, this is the best chicken teriyaki I ever eat. Hm… How come you made this pudding so soft, Mrs. Yasha?" Asked Kagome enthusiast. "It's Yasha's family cook secret. I can teach you how to make it if you want." Said Mrs. Yasha smiled proudly. "Well, there is one person again who can admit my cook skill ness." Inu's left eye twitch at this comment. "Mom, I always eat at home. I even brought my lunch to the office." Said Inu rather annoy. "Yes, but always Miroku who eat your lunch." Said Mrs. Yasha stubbornly. "Mom, if I don't eat your cook sometimes, that doesn't mean I dislike your food. I just need variations." "Then say it. Just like Kagome." Said Mrs. Yasha who give him a pleading look, but Kagome could see a sprinkle in that. "Keh!" The only reply from Inu who has flush at his cheeks.

Kagome amazed at this situation. It made her missed her family. It made her remember about how her mother liked to tease her and Sota in the same ways. She wanted to tease Inu about his shyness when suddenly her mobile ring in a special melody, made her know that it's a Sango's call. Saying an excuse, she went to outside the dining room to accept the call.

"What's up?" Asked Kagome to the phone.

"OH,MyGod!Kagome,MirokuaskedmetoadateatBolivaCaféon7p.m.Co uldyouaccompanyme?Oh,shit,whatshouldIwear?Myfavoritepinkormysteriousblackli keyours?ShouldIblowmyhairortieditonaponytail?ShouldI-"

"Wow, Hold on a second…"it need 3 second to make a click in Kagome brain to what Sango's babbling and her speed speech." Just wear what you like to wear. Don't get nervous. Oh, c'mon, u ever go to a date before. Anyway, it's not funny if I go to your date. Aww… You are not a high school girl anymore, Sango."

"No no no no… You must come! Err… I'll tell him that we have a double date. Yea, that's it!"

"What?!" Kagome clamped her mouth with her right hand when she realized she shout it loud, made Inu and his mom stared at her. Kagome smiled at them and mounted a `sorry' then back at her conversation. "Are you crazy? I don't even have a boyfriend now."

"Uhm… maybe you can ask your ex? Hm… bad idea… Arg… just grab a guy around you or something like that. Please… I promise I will give buy some of your dress if u want to have double date with me this time." Said Sango pleadingly.

"Hm… a guy around me?" Kagome turn around and catch her eyes with Inu whom drink his tea with her mom and give her a `what' look. "ok, but you ,just keep your promise!" She can hear Sango's laughing gladly. "Sure. Ok, I'll see you tomorrow." Then she closed her mobile.

"Inu, do you mind to go double date with me tomorrow on 7 p.m. at Boliva café?" Asked Kagome.

Before Inu open his mouth to reply, his mom already claps her hands. "Oh, that's wonderful! Sure he can dear. He has to go with you!" Inu made a big sweat drop at his mom action. "He can't decline if a woman decided to ask a man out first. It gives the woman much strong will to do that." This time made Kagome blush a little. "Uhm… actually, Sango has a date with Miroku, and she asked me too. Since I don't have a boyfriend, so…" "I'll go with you. Don't worry." Inu winked at Kagome who blushed deeper. "Beside someone need to control Miroku hand's curse so he won't mess up their first date." Three of them laugh at this.
