InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forever a Shadow ❯ 2 ( Chapter 2 )

2.

 

“He's not home.” Kikyo awoke to the sun pouring through her bedroom windows. She could hear the girls playing in their bedroom. Her hand fumbled on the nightstand till she found the phone. In a daze she dialed his cell number. It rang only twice before he answered. “Where are you Inuyasha? Why didn't you come home last night?”

 

“Kikyo, you do know there was a party last night, right?” His voice sounded thin over the phone to her, hollow.

 

She pulled the phone from her ear, rolling her eyes at the ceiling, and then put the phone back to her ear. “Yes, I know there was a party, but you should have come home.”

 

“I had too much to drink, so I slept in my office. Sorry, but you didn't want me driving home drunk, right?”

 

She wanted to reach through the phone and strangle him. “You were alone?”

 

Silence for a split second. “What the hell is that supposed to mean? Of course I was alone!” His voice was impatient. “Listen honey I'll be home soon.” He hung up his cell phone.

 

“Love you too.” Kikyo threw the phone across the room; it took out their most recent vacation picture when they were in the Bahamas last year. The glass spider webbing as it hit the floor. “Well how about that, is that a portent or what!”

 

------****------

 

 

“Bitch!” Inuyasha threw his cell phone at Kagome's feet. “How dare she accuse me of anything!” He hit the steering wheel repeatedly, only stopping when Kagome placer her hand over his, she had a way of quieting his rage with the simplest of gestures. “Sorry. Didn't mean to blow up like that.”

 

“It's okay.” She pulled her hand back, staring out the window at the cold January morning. “Does she know about us?”

 

“No! Don't worry about it; she is always so fucking suspicious. God I hope the girls don't take after her. She has to question everything, and Kikyo has to be right. She is always looking down on me, like I should be more like my brother! So composed, never with a hair out of place, and no feelings, just cold. They both think they are better than me, and I am sick of it!”

 

Why did I even open my mouth, Kagome you're an idiot. Now he's never gonna stop.

 

She looked back at him, undid her seatbelt, climbed over the gearshift and kissed him. “Okay, I get it, they are unfeeling people.” The car swerved a bit as he regained control. She sat back down in her seat, her hand gently stroking his crotch; she could feel him harden against her hand, the jeans rough to her touch. “Now isn't that better.”

 

“Yea, but we cant do anything about it, were almost to your place, and I have to get home to the shrew.” His eyes widened as she undid the button of his jeans, and pull down the zipper, he nearly hit a light pole as he felt her tongue, and lips encircle his member. “You're making it tough to drive in a straight line.”

 

Some guardian angel or someone was looking out for him as her parking garage and apartment building came into view. Inuyasha pulled into the garage; thankful they made it in one piece, stopping his car next to hers, cutting the engine off.

 

------***------

 

 

“What the hell?” Onigumo Naraku couldn't help but notice Inuyashas car swerve dangerously in front of him.

 

He slowed his car down even more as they pulled into her parking garage. Onigumo lit another cigarette, he knew where they were going, and he had followed them to the upscale apartments before, many times. He waited at the side of the street a few minutes before pulling into the garage himself. Driving slowly, his car crept past Inuyashas sports car, he could only make out one person, and then her head came into view.

 

He smiled to himself. “Lucky bastard, Kagura rarely does that for me.”

 

He pulled up to the next level of parked cars, pulling into a visitors spot. Onigumo pulled on his black leather jacket, and a baseball hat, pulling his long black ebon hair into a ponytail, not wanting to alert the two to his reoccurring presence, he doubted either one remembered what he was wearing earlier, they were to interested in each other to notice his understated clothing. He got out of the car, looked at his watch 11:36; he made his way slowly to the elevators. Pushing the button to call the elevator car he waited. Down the level below him he heard Mr.Inuyasha Chikara's sports car start up.

 

“Guess he's just dropping her off this time.” He heard the elevator chime below him, well knowing the elevators passenger. The door opened to his level. “Miss.” He nodded politely, hitting the button for the 21st floor; he already knew she would be getting off on the 17th.

 

 

He was staring at her, really he didn't mean to be so obvious, it was just the way she looked. Even in plain, everyday clothes she was stunning. Last night when he was watching her at the party, he wanted to be with her, but then again so did everyman in the room. What struck him as odd was the fact that she and Kikyo could easily pass for sisters. Granted Kikyo was older, but the similarities between the two were uncanny. Those intense beautiful eyes, that was the difference between the two, this girl had gray-blue eyes, where Mr.Chikara had deep brown.

 

Onigumo met those alluring eyes; she was staring directly at him, puzzled and a little fearful. The demon he was wanted to take her have her treat him like she did Inuyasha, hell she could use him for sex when ever she wanted, but he had learned to control his darker desires eons ago. Not to mention Kagura would feed him his balls, if she smelled another woman on him.

 

“Do, I know you sir?” She was trying to get a better look at his face under the hat he kept his head low.

 

“My friend lives here, that is why you think you know me miss.” Blatant lie, but what was he going to say, “I've been following you for the past month, but don't worry about lil' ole me.”

 

------***------

Inuyasha pushed his car faster than he should, weaving in and out of traffic, luckily it seemed most of the city was still recuperating from hangovers, so there weren't too many cars out on the road. He still could not believe Kikyo, he had lied to Kagome, there was the remote possibility his wife was beginning to piece together his late night board meetings, and long weekends at the office. She was no idiot, and he knew that if he was not more careful she would find out his secret. Why was he not eaten with guilt over his faithlessness? He always thought he and Kikyo would be happy forever, until he met Kagome, as soon as their eyes met his soul screamed for her, and his body responded, she filled a void he never knew he had. He made it to his condo a barely after 12:00, he really had put his foot into his car on the way home.

 

“Inuyasha sir.” Matthew, the valet was waiting to take his keys, as he stepped from his car, he stopped realizing he had left his cell phone on the floorboard, he couldn't leave it, that was his lifeline to Kagome. It was going to be a long remainder of the weekend without her.

 

“Take care of it Matt.”

 

“I always do sir.”

 

He rode the elevator to his top floor condo, the entire floor was his, hell the entire building was his, and using his key he unlocked the mechanism that would allow the car to travel to the top. As soon as the doors opened Kari and Suki were waiting for him.

 

A chorus of “Daddy!” Greeted him as his girls rushed him. They both leapt into his arms, their demon abilities making them more agile than the normal five year olds.

 

Inuyasha kissed them both on the cheeks twirling with them, dancing to unheard music, waltzing them into the living room. The girls giggled hugging him even tighter.

 

“You both are still my best dance partners, you know it?”

 

“Yes.” The girls answered in unison.

 

He flopped down on the couch as the girls began telling him all of the yucky thing associated with the flu they had, but they both agreed that the medicine was the worst, and that they were both better. Upset that their Mother would not let them out of the house to play with their friends, for another few days.

 

“Now girls, you do not want to get you're friends sick do you?” Kikyo gracefully walked into the room. She smiled warmly to Inuyasha. “You don't look any worse for wear Inuyasha. I see you are all showered, the hangover must not be too bad then.” She gave his an accusing look that nearly stopped his heart.

 

“Girls, why don't you go and play for a while. I need to talk to Mommy okay?” The twins nodded, leaping off his lap, they raced to their room. “I'm sorry about this morning baby.” He rose from the couch pulling her into a hug; he buried his face in her neck. “You know I love you Kikyo.”

 

She grimaced, stiffening in his embrace, she then relaxed as he kissed her neck softly. “Do I?”

 

Inuyasha pulled back from her, hurt by those two simple words. “Why would you say that, of course I love you, you are the Mother of my pups. I'm sorry you couldn't be there last night.” He hugged her closer.

 

“Really Inuyasha?”

 

“Yes, now stop that, you're being all paranoid again.” He chuckled. “Sango got trashed. She was playing pinball with the walls by the time Miroku got her out of there. Then again I passed out by two myself. I'm just glad I made it to my office and didn't sleep on the floor.” God, the lying is getting easier, what does that mean? “And of course Sesshomaru, was as sober as ever, Rin was a bit tipsy though.”

 

Kikyo tenderly kissed his lips, he responded, with more ferocity than usual. She seemed to be pleased with his answers, she even forgot about the envelope that was less than three feet away, threatening to rip all she knew, and loved apart.
