InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love Is... ❯ Silent Lunch ( Chapter 5 )

* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

I had awoken to sunlight in my eyes which made me wince slightly, I closed my eyes only to open them a minute later. The light wasn't so bad anymore as I looked around my new room for the time being. It was a big room filled with beautiful furniture. There was a TV built into the wall, the walls were painted a light blue and the bed I slept in was big with satin black sheets.

"Time to wake up and face the horrid day." I sighed at I got up and began looking through my bag for something to wear

I finally found a pair of blue jeans and a black tank-top that was clean, I snatched them up and went into the bathroom that was located in my room. The bathroom was also big, which I did not mind at all. I decided to take a quick shower before Sesshoumaru and Kira left for work, I still had a job besides singing, I was a hostess at the restaurant also. I got that job on my own, but Inuyasha got me the singing job, but I really didn't need him too he just wanted to have something to throw back in my face, I knew that was the only reason, well that and he wanted his brother to thank him for getting such a good act.

"I need to stop thinking about that jerk." I scolded myself

It didn't take long for me to take my shower, it felt good to get clean. I stepped out dried off and got dressed.

"I need to get some new cloths until I can get my clothes from home." I sighed while looking at myself in the full length mirror located in my room right next to my dresser. I grabbed a brush Kira let me borrow and brushed my hair really quick before I ran out the door to the dinning room Kira showed me the night before. I hadn't really seen Sesshoumaru since the drive here, Kira said he was working in his study. As I entered the dinning room I saw Kira sitting next to Sesshoumaru at the head of the table, from the looks of it she was trying to get him to put the newspaper down and pay attention to her.

"Ohayo Kira-chan, Sesshoumaru-sama." I said as I walked closer to them, there was already a place set for me right by Kira

"Ohayo Kagome-chan." Kira said looking up at me as I sat down, Sesshoumaru said nothing as he continued to read

"Sessy, put the paper down." Kira told him in a you-better-do-what-I-say tone

He still said nothing, that's when I saw the mischievous look in her eye. Kira pulled out a lighter and continued to light the newspaper on fire right in Sesshoumaru's hands. It took Sesshoumaru a minute to notice his paper burning, he wouldn't have noticed if he wasn't reading the part that was currently on fire. He dropped the paper and poured his glass of water on it, Kira caracked up laughing.

"You do know that, that was uncalled for, do you not?" he asked looking at his older sister, it was a pretty funny scene. It made me wonder if she did this often

"It was not uncalled for, it was the only thing that would get you to put that damn newspaper down and pay attention to me." she said glaring at him, I could tell that Kira wasn't in a very good mood anymore.

She always amazed me, one minute she would be laughing and joking, but then the next she would be thoroughly pissed ready to kill anyone that got in her way. She was like a little kid , carefree and happy, then the next thing I know she would be like the wisest person to ever live. I guess since she is hundreds of years old it was possible for her to be that way. She was a very strong youkai, people would have never thought twice about there being youkai and hanyou's in this time, but about fifty years ago something happened to make it where the world knew and respected youkai and even hanyou's like Inuyasha. I never knew exactly what had happened, I never really thought about it. My thoughts were interrupted by Kira and Sesshoumaru's little "fight"
"I was paying attention to you, can I help it that you did not notice?" Sesshoumaru asked the very pissed off Kira

"You were not paying attention to me at all, you never do. I'm finding my own place to live, so me and Kagome can get out of here and away from you!" I hear Kira shout, and saw the look on Sesshoumaru's face, he didn't look to good

"You want to move out on your own? After all these years you will finally be gone?" He asked, I knew he was trying to sound as happy as he could to annoy Kira

"Well I would be moving out when I get married anyways!" Kira knew that would make him mad, she once told me that Sesshoumaru hated living alone, they had always lived together and he liked it that way. Kira said she would live with him until he got a girlfriend, it had been many, many years from what she told me

"Fine see if I care." Sesshoumaru growled, then stood up and walked back to his study

Kira seemed thoroughly pissed now, but it seemed she was more mad at herself than at her brother.

"Does this happen a lot?" I asked trying not to make her even more mad

"Just every morning." Kira sighed, then stood up following the path Sesshoumaru took

I just sat there eating my breakfast waiting for the two to return so we could leave for work, I didn't want to be late again, but of course if it was the bosses fault I wouldn't get into any trouble. About ten minutes later they came back, neither seemed mad anymore, which made me sigh in relief, I couldn't handle moving again.

"Are you ready to go Kagome-chan?" Kira asked me as she gathered her jacket and bag into her arms

"Hai." I said doing the same as her

I followed Kira out the door, Sesshoumaru was walking behind us. We got in the car and began on our way to the casino. The casino had a hotel in it of course, so there was a lot of things to do in the morning, actually there was a lot of things to do at any time, the casino was always open, as was the restaurant. The bar however opened a bit later in the evening. I watched as Kira and Sesshoumaru fought over the radio, Kira wanted to listen to one of her CD's that she loved so much, and Sesshoumaru didn't want to listen to music at all, but in the end Kira won, I noticed that she always seems to win, I think Sesshoumaru lets her win on purpose. Maybe it was to make her feel better, and make her stay with him longer. I decided not to think about it, it would just give me a head-ache and that's the last thing that I needed.
"So Kagome-chan, we should go shopping for new dresses for the party tonight." Kira said snapping me out of my thoughts, which wasn't that hard to do

"Okay." I said looking out the window, it was eight o'clock in the morning, I was late for work, but this time I wasn't going to get into any trouble, not that I have before thanks to Kira, and Inuyasha, but mostly Kira.

A few minutes later we arrived at the casino, Kira was the one who named it. So I worked at the Youkai Yume Casino, Kira named it Youkai Yume because mostly youkai came here. Well not mostly youkai, it was more of a mix between youkai, hanyou's, and humans. None of the staff seemed to mind, or were just oblivious to it, either way it was a great place to work. The Youkai Yume was a very safe place to be, because of a spell that was placed on it, the spell helps protect against those youkai, hanyou's, or humans that insist on fighting to the death in the middle of the casino or bar.

"See you later Kagome-chan, I will try and stop by at lunch, then we can go shopping after work." Kra said once again snapping me out of those damn thoughts of mine

"Okay Kira-chan, that sounds great." I said smiling at her as she walked away, Sesshoumaru had already left to his office

I made my way to the restaurant, not a lot of people were there yet, but there were still a few tables full. I went into the back to change into my work cloths that I always left there so I wouldn't forget them and get in trouble with the bitch of a manager. I was the hostess here during the day, but I still had a boss, and she just happened to be best-friends with the tramp of a waitress Kikyou.

"Higurashi your late, if you are late one more time I will be forced to fire you." Speak of the devils evil spawn, she always tends to sneak up on me

"I'm sorry Yura, but my ride made me late this morning." I said innocently, I knew she could never fire me

"I do not care, you are no longer with Inuyasha, therefore no more special treatment for you." she said trying to sound like she was actually my boss, and had the power to do something like that to me, she failed miserably

"If you want me to get Kira and have her explain why I was late I would be more than happy to, and as for Inuyasha, I have never wanted nor expected `special' treatment because we had a `relationship', but since I am not late that often, and when I am I have a good reason I expect you to keep away from me. You may be my so called boss, but I only follow orders from Kira and Sesshoumaru-sama." I hissed at her, I hated when she thought just because she had a fancy little title and made slightly more than me that she was better than me

She was speechless for a minute, when she finally found her voice I was smirking at her, not evily, but not nicely either.

"I will be taking this up with Sesshoumaru-sama, and see what happens then." she said then stomped off towards the kitchen

"Kami do I hate that bitch." I thought as I made my way to my "post" at the door waiting for more customers to arrive.

It was finally lunch time and I was starved, true people would say I have no really job, but they were wrong. I made sure everything went smoothly throughout the casino and the bars, I was the one that protected this place and made it safe for people and their families. Nobody but my Sess-chan knew this though, I would complain about how tired I was and people would ask how I could be tired when I did nothing all day, if they only knew. I made my way to the restaurant to grab some lunch and meet up with Kagome like I always do.

"Great, I will have to deal with Yura now since Kagome was late this morning. Oh well I need to blow off some steam." I said shrugging ash I made my way through the glass doors, I was met by a very tired looking Kagome

"Ah, the breakfast rush, and now lunch, how will you ever survive?" I asked as I grabbed her arm and pulled her over to the table I sit at almost everyday

"I'll be fine, I'm use to it by now. It amazes me how many people stay here day after day." Kagome said resting her head on her arms, I really felt bad for her

"At least we get to go shopping soon." I said trying to get her to cheer up some

"At least." she said not taking her head off of her arms

"I suppose I have a certain person to deal with." I said, knowing that would get her to perk up, and I was right, Kagome lifted her head and smiled at me

"Hai, how can someone be that big of a bitch to someone they barely know. I swear her and Kikyou are hell's spawn." she said with a slight giggle

"That they are, maybe worse. If you can get any worse that is." I said joining in on her Yura and Kikyou bashing, this was one of my favorite things to do as I waited for my lunch. I have the same thing everyday at the same time, so I don't have to order it and wait for it to get done

"And now that me and Inuyasha are no more, she's even worse. She spilt a drink on me today, good thing my foot was sticking out slightly." she said winking at me, which made me break down in laughter

"Maybe I should go see her right now." I said with one of my smirks on, Kagome knew what I was planning, I could see it

"Alright, you go do that and I'll go get our food." Kagome said standing up

"Okay, sounds good to me. I need to let some of this aggression out before I do something really bad." I said also standing up, I walked to the back room leaving Kagome laughing her ass off by our table
"This is going to be fun."

* * * * * * * * * * * Sesshoumaru's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

After leaving my sister and her friend I ventured off the my office to wait for my moronic half brother, but he never showed up. So now I am not in a very good mood, and I have no intention of searching for him just so I can yell at him, no I will have plenty of time later, I have a lot of work now.

"Yeah, just keep telling yourself that, and maybe you will begin to believe it." I sighed, I do not usually do that, but I am very much bored and have no work left to do

I stood up and left my office, not really knowing where to go. As I began to walk I found myself going towards the lobby restaurant, food did sound good right now, since it was in fact lunch time and I did not get to finish my breakfast this morning. As I entered I found my sister's friend sitting at a table with enough food for two, obviously my sister was here, as she was everyday, but where was she exactly? I looked around but I still did not see her, so I made my way to her table.

"Hello Higurashi-san, is my sister here?" I asked the girl as I sat down across from her

"Hai, she's in the back talking to Yura. Would you like me to get you something to eat?" she asked me, I had to admit she was quite different from other humans, true humans were not too afraid of youkai nowadays, but they still were not to comfortable, but she was

"No thank you, perhaps I will get something a bit later." I answered her, even though I was hungry I was not going to disturb her meal just to get me something to eat

"Okay, I'm sure Kira will be back soon." she said obviously trying to start a conversation

"Yes, I believe I will wait for her." I said looking around, I haven't been here in a while, I usually have food brought to me, or Kira brings me something for reasons only she knows

I sat in silence with the girl, waiting for my dear sister to return from whatever it was the she was off doing. I was half tempted to eat her lunch, if I knew that she would not hurt me for it.
* * * * * * * * * * * Kira's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

I spent a good half hour yelling at Yura about being more respectful towards "her" employees. It's not like her job was that much better than Kagome's, actually it's almost better to be a hostess. At one time I was a hostess here, but Sessy didn't like me working for him as a hostess, he thought the new job I have was much better, because no one knew I had it.

"Oh and Yura, if I ever find out that you are being a bitch to another employee, I will be forced to fire your ass." with that said I walked off to join my friend for lunch

As I got closer to the table I found Sessy sitting in my place across from Kagome

"They do look kinda cute together." I though as I saw them talking, they didn't look like they were saying too much, but still they seemed to be getting along

It didn't take me long to make my way back to the table. I stood there for a second, I wanted to see how long it would take my brother to notice I was standing behind him, it only took a few seconds.

"Ah your back, I was waiting for you to return." Sessy said as I sat down in-between him and Kagome

"I had something to take care of." I said winking at Kagome, Sess saw this and gave me a slight curious look, but I just brushed it off

I grabbed my food from in front of my brother and began to eat it, I only ate about half and slid the plate back to him. I knew he would be hungry by now, and he seemed to forget to eat a lot of the time, even though he was sitting in a restaurant, he can be so clueless sometimes. I saw him take up his fork and dig into my food, I knew he would like it, we seemed to have similar tastes in food as well as other things, I guess we truly are twins.

"Ano…Kagome-chan, are you ready to go shopping now?" I asked the now silent girl sitting next to me

"I still have work." she answered a bit sadly

"Do not worry, Yura can handle your job for a few hours." I said waving my hand slightly trying to get my point across

"I suppose if it's okay with Yura." she said looking at her plate

"Oh who cares if it's okay with that bitch, she was asking for more hours anyways." I said then stood up gathering all of my things

"Get changed and we'll go and get new dresses for tonight, along with some other cloths if we happen to find some." I said giving her a quick wink and then turned to my brother who had already finished off the rest of my lunch and was now sitting quietly

"Okay, I'll be right back." Kagome said as she got up and went towards the back to get changed and gather her things as well

As soon as she was gone, I sat back down, this time I was sitting across from my brother so I could see his face while I teased him, I felt like a child again

"So Sess-chan, you seem to be getting closer to Kagome-chan, have a crush I don't know about?" I asked sweetly

"I do not have a crush, I was merely talking to the girl while waiting for your return." he said coldly

"You never could take a joke, little brother." I said knowing he hates it when I call him little brother, but it is true, I was born first and him second, therefore I am older than he is

Before Sessy could say anything else, I saw Kagome step out of the back room, a very mad Yura followed behind her taking her place at the main door.

"Ready Kagome-chan?" I asked the girl as I again stood up from my seat

"Hai." she answered and began to walk towards the door

"Have fun little brother, and try to make it home on time, the party is at eight o'clock, so we're leaving at seven." I said then gave him a peck on the cheek, he always hated it when I did that

I walked to the door with Kagome, leaving behind a very embarrassed youkai, that's what made it so much fun, I love to pick on my little brother. Speaking of little brothers, there was a certain one I needed to find.

Me and Kira made our way through the casino to get to her car, or was it Sesshoumaru's car? I decided not to think about it, it didn't matter anyways. As we walked, I saw Kikyou, of course I would she was working today, she worked everyday. I tried not to lose myself, I tried to walk proudly, but I was failing, I guess Kira must of noticed this because she gave a low growl and glared at Kikyou from across the room. No doubt Inuyasha was around here somewhere, he after all had to protect his precious woman. Hah! Precious, right, and I'm Utada Hikaru, I sighed as we continued to walk.

"Perfect day…just like the rest." I thought to myself trying not to cry, I was past crying, long past

I finally saw Inuyasha, and so did Kira, he was sitting at a table not too far away from his bitch, watching her like a hawk. I looked over at Kira, she had a mischievous gleam in her eyes, I knew that this could not be good, nothing was ever good when she had that look in her eyes. Before I knew what was going on, Kira had already made her way to Inuyasha, and neither one of them looked to happy.

"So little brother, I see you missed your meeting with Sess-chan today." Kira said smirking at him

"Why, did he tell you that or something?" he asked in a bored tone as he continued to gaze at the bitch of his

"No he did not, but you seem to be in one peace so I just assumed you were to much of a wimp to show up." Kira said in a semi-cold tone

"Feh, I'm not a wimp, father called me down for a meeting this morning, I had to go." he said still not taking his eyes off of Kikyou

"Yes, hide behind daddy, let's see how far that will get you." Kira said then turned around muttering "wimpy hanyou" as she walked away, I followed behind her not giving Inuyasha a second glance, he wasn't even worth it

We made it to the car, Kira for no reason just busted out laughing, and for some reason I'm not aware of, I joined her. We laughed until we got in the car and put on our seatbelts, but stopped when Kira started up the car

"Tokyo Mall?" Kira asked me

"Hai, that sounds good." and with that answer we began our shopping adventure
