InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love Is... ❯ The Next Day ( Chapter 11 )

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

The next morning I woke up feeling better than I had in a while, my dreams even got better. I was actually prepared for the day instead of fearing everything that may happen. I got out of bed and got dressed as fast as I could without rushing myself. Tonight is going to be great, I am going to give one of my best performances ever, and everyone will be there to see it. I know Kira is going to like this, she'll probably want to take me shopping after it.

"I just have to get through work first." I said sighing to myself

For the most part I liked my job, but then I had to deal with Yura, Kikyou's best-friend. They ganged up on me so many times in the past, but after I started dating Inuyasha they stopped. I have a feeling today will be one of the worst days ever for me, Kikyou would have told Yura what happened last night with that jewel, so Yura is going to try and make my day a living hell, if not the rest of my life.

"I need coffee." I said to myself as I made my way to my bedroom door

As I walked out into the hallway I could hear Kira and Sesshoumaru talking as they ate their breakfast. It was nice to have people to talk to in the mornings while eating, it just seemed like something a normal family would do, even if they weren't exactly normal.

"Ohayo Kira-chan, Sesshoumaru." I said as I stepped into the living room

"Ohayo Kagome-chan." Kira said with her normal smile on her face even though she is NOT a morning person, quite the opposite actually

Sesshoumaru however just nodded at me as he continued to read the newspaper like I've seen him to every morning I was here, so therefore I have come to believe that he did this every morning. Thus I can conclude that every morning there is a fight between the two siblings that always ends with Kira saying she is going to move out, Sesshoumaru saying fine and going off to his room, then Kira says she's sorry and they make up and heads off to work. Not exactly normal, but at least it was a routine for them to follow.

"We should get going soon." Kira said as she finished off the last of her coffee just as I was pouring my first cup

"Hai. You know how I hate to be late." Sesshoumaru said finally putting his paper down

"He spoke! And he put down the paper! The world is coming to an end!" Kira gasped and shouted dramatically to get her point across that he spends to much time ignoring her in the mornings

"Must you act that way?" Sesshoumaru asked with his own little sigh, he was getting a bit annoyed with her morning antics and it showed

"Hai. You know you could never stand me if I acted any other way." Kira said smiling at her brother in a cocky way

"You are right, it could be worse." he said with his own little smirk when he saw Kira's face turn red with anger

"I'll get you while you sleep." Kira said to Sesshoumaru while standing up, all the while I was enjoying my breakfast and cup of coffee as well as the scene playing out in front of me, mornings couldn't get any better than this

I stood up a minute later with my dishes, Kira had retreated into the kitchen and was now washing off her own plate, cup, and silverware.

"Kira-chan?" I asked a bit quietly, though I have know her forever and she was like my older sister, I still got nervous when asking her for things

"Hai?" she asked turning around drying off her hands

"I was wondering if it would be alright if I left work a bit early today, I have something I need to take care of." I asked her trying not to look her in the eyes

"Of course, just remember you have a show tonight." Kira said giving me one of her sisterly smiles

"Arigatou, this means so much to me." I said giving her a hug

"No problem, I mean it's not like it's a big deal if you skip out on work once in a while. You're the reason we get most of our customers, they come to hear you sing." Kira said while hugging me back

"You really think so?" I asked as we broke apart

"Of course, you think they like that dump?" she asked in a teasing way as she took my dishes from my hands and continued to wash them off

"They come to hear you sing because you have a gift, Kagome-chan. Sure it's a nice place to come and everything, but why do you think most people come back time after time? It's because you are the most talented singer I have ever had the honor to hear sing, plus I made a great menu." she said half serious half joking

"Thanks Kira-chan, you always make me feel a lot better." I said giving her one last hug then made my way out into the dining room to find that Sesshoumaru wasn't there anymore

He was probably getting whatever he needed ready for work while he waited for us to get done. Oh well it's not like I needed to talk to him or anything.

* * * * * * * * * * * Sessy's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

Kira always seems to make me later, even when she does not try. She can not help anything that she does, and that makes her more unique then everyone else in the world, there is no ne else out there quite like my sister. She is the most precious person in my life, and I am honored to be her twin brother.

"We are going to be late again." I said sighing as I gathered the papers I had been working on the night before

Really there was never that much work that I had to do myself, I could just get someone else to do it for me, but I was never really the type to hire someone to do simple work for me when I could very well do it myself, and do it better. Kira use to help me with my work, but she grew bored with it, so I gave her a new job and she seems to like it.

"I best get going." I said to myself as I made my way to the door pulling it open

I could hear Kira and Kagome talking as I headed out into the hallway making my way into the living room area, but before I got there I heard the females laughing.

"And what may I ask is so amusing?" I asked knowing that I would startle them, and that amused me though I tried not to show it

"Nothing, I just told Kagome a few of our brothers more embarrassing moments." Kira said obviously trying not to start laughing again

She loved to tell people our little brothers embarrassing stories when we were younger, and she still does. I never want to get on her bad side, I have a reputation I have to maintain, and it's hard enough without her spilling every little thing I did as a child. Though I doubt she would ever do that to me because I know just as many stories about her as she does about me that her fiancée would just love to hear.

"Very well. Shall we go?" I asked trying again not to seem to interested in what they were giggling about, even though I would have loved to have heard exactly what story she told about him

"Hai." Kira answered me while grabbing her jacket and putting it on before we got outside

Kagome also put her jacket on and then grabbed her bag she had probably put her outfit for tonight's show in. She always had to pick out her own clothes, so at least she has fairly good taste. Her clothes are not too revealing, but she does show a bit of skin, which is always a good thing, not that I look that often, but it is hard not to notice.

"But she does have nice skin." I thought to myself then looked over to my sister who looked overly happy since she hated the mornings with a passion

"And what prey tell has you so happy this morning?" I asked her as I got into my car waiting for Kagome to get in so I could start driving

"I was just remembering a dream I had last night." she replied and I knew she was lying, she did something, something she felt very proud of which could only mean it was something really bad

"You will tell me the real reason." I said not asking but telling her, she could never keep things from me for to long, but she could keep them for a little while

"Hai, hai." was all she said as I began driving to work so I could sit at my desk all day looking over and signing boring papers all night then come home and do the same thing while my sister yells at me

Yes, life sucked.

* * * * * * * * * * * Main Bar Kira's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

"try not to work to hard Sess-chan, you either Kagome." I said as I sat down at the bar watching my brother and best-friend walk off to work

Kouga had better get here soon, because I am going to bitch-slap him for not showing up last night. People were asking me where he was, and why he was not there with me and I really did not like that. Kouga was going to pay for standing me up, and he is NOT going to like it at all.

"See ya later Kouga." I could hear a voice behind me say

I turned around and came face-to-face with the one person I wanted to kill..Kouga. He is soooo going to get it now.

"Now tell me Kouga-chan, why did you not show up last night?" I just had to ask in my sickly sweet voice that scared everyone who heard it

"Well. You see. I really should get to work." he said trying to get me to let him go, but I am not going to do that

"I want to know why you stood me up last night, and it better be a good reason." I said dropping the sweet voice letting him know how angry I was

"I can't tell you, at least not yet." was all he said to me before he walked into the back room most likely so he could change and get away from me

To say that I am mad is an understatement, I am furious, he has never acted like this before and I want to know why he is now. Kouga has never stood me up before, not even when he had that thing for Kagome, and I don't even hold that against him anymore, I really never have. I need to know what is going on with him, he obviously will not tell me anything until he thinks I should know, so that means I am going to have to ask Miroku what the hell is his problem.

"Now where is that pervert at?" I asked myself trying to remember what Miroku is doing today

He's usually near the stage when there's going to be a show, but I have not seen him yet. He might be with Sango, but do I really want to interrupt what they are doing? Yes, yes I do, I need to know otherwise I am going to be in a bad mood all day, so I am really doing everyone a favor here.

"Now where would Sango be?" I whispered to myself as I scanned the room for the only other woman I would consider a little sister

Sango was a chef here, but today was here day off, even so she would be hanging around because of Miroku, and also because of Kagome's show tonight. Now all I have to do is find her and I will find Miroku not to far away. I should go and ask Kagome, and maybe get some lunch sent up to Sesshoumaru while I'm there, he never eats lunch unless I send it or bring it to him myself.

"If I wasn't here he would starve to death." I thought to myself as I walked to the restaurant

It only took me a few minutes to walk there thanks to my enhanced speed that I rarely use, there was never a need but this time I had to see if Kagome knew where Sango and Miroku where. I walked into the restaurant, but I didn't see Kagome, instead I saw Yura in all her bitch ass glory.

"Where is Kagome?" I asked not even bothering to say hello, I never do so why should I start now

"I have no idea." was her reply, she didn't even look at me

"Of course you do. She works here, so that means you would know where she is while she is in fact working." she was working my last nerve, no wait she was past that

"Just because she works here does not mean I know where she is at all times. For all I know she skipped out early." Yura said looking me in the eyes smiling smugly at me

"No she did not, but that does remind me. You will have to take over for her in a few hours, I said she could leave early because she has some important matters to take care of. I hope you don't mind." I said smirking right back at her as I watched her smile fade away

"If I did not know better I would say she is receiving special treatment." she said giving a knowing sort of look, gee I wonder why

"Of course she gets special treatment. She is my friend and one of the only reasons people even come here, she is like a sister to me and I am tired of the way people treat her, so I am treating her a different way. If you do not like it then take it up with my brother Sesshoumaru." I said in a snotty tone that I oh so hate, but it is necessary to get through to these stuck up bitches

"I was only pointing it out, I do not mind it." she said lying to me, it was obvious she hated the way I treated Kagome, and I kind of liked that

"Very well, but now tell me where she is so I can talk to her before I get in an even worse mood." I said in my demanding voice that always made it where I got what I wanted, though I do not use this tone very often either, I'd rather have people like me and not fear me, but I have to do what I have to do

"Last I saw she was in the kitchen since it was not busy." she finally gave me an answer I could accept

Instead of answering her back I just brushed past her and entered the kitchen. Inside I found Kagome talking to someone, and that someone was Sango the exact person I was looking for, it seems she decided to work today instead of spending it wondering around the casino.

"Kira-chan, what are you doing here? Do you need some food prepared?" Kagome asked me as soon as she was me enter

"Iie. I was wondering if you knew where Sango was, and it seems that you do." I said looking over to the other girl who had by now stopped what she was doing to look at me

"Did you need something from me, Kira-chan?" Sango asked as she turned back to whatever she was cooking

"Hai. I was wondering if you knew where Miroku was, I have been searching for him." I said replying to her questions

"Iie. He said he had some things to take care of, that's why I am working today." she said as she worked

"I see. If you see him could you tell him I have some important matters to discuss with him?' I asked in hopes that one of them would bump into him later on in the day

"What matters would that be." both of them asked me at the same time, which almost made me laugh, but instead I chuckled a bit

"It has to do with Kouga. He has been acting strange and he will not tell me why he did not show up at the party last night. I need to know what is the matter with him, and since he tells Miroku everything I thought that he would know." I said looking down at the floor, I tear slid down my face and I did not want them to see it

"I hope everything turns out alright. I know how happy you two make each other." Sango said trying to cheer me up, and it almost work but I looked at Kagome, her face was filled with pain and sadness

She was remembering what Inuyasha had done to her. My problems where hurting her in a different way then they were me. I never meant for this to open her wounds up, but I can not help it either.

"I hope it turns out alright too. Oh Kagome, I told Yura you would be leaving early, so she will be covering for you, so you can leave when you are ready." I told her about Yura so I could at least get her to think about something else for a little while, I know she is hurting a great deal, but she will not be for long, I know from past mistakes on my part

"Thank you, I will be leaving shortly. I do not want to be late after all." that was all she said as she left the room to either change, or work a little while longer

"She is sad." Sango said after Kagome had walked out of the kitchen

"Hai, I know. She will get over it soon, I think she will surprise everyone. Even herself." I said looking at the door she had just left through "After all, our little Kagome is growing up."

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

What's with love anyway? First the guy I love dumps me for a girl he has been obsessed with for who knows how long, yes I know that I 'dumped' him, but really he dumped me, I would not have done that if I had not have heard what he said that night, but enough about that. Kira is having problems with Kouga, sure the guys is a little weird, and use to have this weird possessive thing about me, but they are in love, at least that's what I always thought. I know Kira loves him, but does he love her?

Love is a fickle thing. One minute you know you love someone and they love you back, you're happy and content just being close to each other, and then the next minute, they leave you for someone else with no explanation. I never want to love again, I never want to feel the pain it brings into your heat making you wish that you were dead. I do not want to be one of those girls that falls for every handsome guy she comes in contact with, my heart can not take it.

"So you are leaving early again." I voice said snapping me out of my thoughts

"Hai Yura, I'll be leaving in about fifteen minutes." I said just picturing the look on her face when Kira told her that she had to take over for me

"You do know that I will find some way to end this special treatment. You are no longer Inuyasha's girl, so that means this will all come to an end soon." she said with malice in her fake cheery voice

"You know something, I don't care. I don't care what you threaten me with, I don't care about anything anymore. Do what you want to me, just remember this. I. WILL. GET. YOU." with that said I returned to my work like nothing happened, my day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it still wasn't that good either

I starting towards the back so I could get ready to leave when someone came through the door. I was surprised to see Sesshoumaru there, he never comes down for meals, well besides the other day when he was looking for Kira.

"Sesshouamru-sama welcome." I could hear Yura saying in what she thought was her seductive voice

She has been trying to get with Sesshoumaru since she started working here, I think he was the only reason she wanted the job so bad. I never knew why they kept her around, it would not be hard to fins someone to replace her.

"Would you like something to drink?" Yura asked him while batting her eyes lashes and playing with her hair

"No." was all he said to her and then walked off to the table we had occupied the previous day

I wanted so bad to make Yura mad, so I did the only thing I could think off. OI walked over to the table Sesshoumaru was at and took out my notepad and a pencil

"Would you like something to drink? Or would you like to order now?" I asked not knowing if he would answer or not, but I was surprised when he did

"Water would be fine. I will loom at the menu for now." he said not smiling, but I saw the humor in his eyes when he looked over at the fuming Yura

"Hai, I will be right back with your water." I said walking away sending a smirk at Yura while I had the chance

I walked back into the kitchen to find that Kira had left and Sango was of course still cooking. I walked back to the cooler that help all of the bottled drinks, and glasses to keep them cold. I grabbed a bottle of water and a glass, but I decided to talk to Sango for a second before I went back out.

"Where did Kira-chan go?" I asked

"She went to find out where Houshi-sama is." Sango said using our little inside joke, she calls Miroku Houshi-sama because we know he is the exact opposite, and one time he told us he wanted to be a monk

"I see, well I'm going to bring this to Sesshoumaru-sama, and take his order then I'll be leaving." I informed her so she would know I was leaving and to keep an eye on Yura while I was gone

I walked back out the door only to find Yura babbling on about something and Sesshoumaru ignoring her. Yura was practically sitting at the table with him, hell if she could she would sit in his lap. As I approached the table Sesshoumaru looked up at me, which made me smile a bit, I mean who wouldn't?

"Here is your water Sesshoumaru-sama. Are you ready to order?" I asked hoping to get my work done so I could leave, but I kind of wanted to stick around now

"Hai. And please, call me Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru said to my complete surprise, I never thought he would let me call him Sesshoumaru

"What would you like, Sesshoumaru?" I asked ignoring Yura's glares

"Just some miso soup, I seem to have lost most of my appetite." he said looking over to Yura before taking a sip of his water

I looked over at Yura as he did and noticed that she had un-buttoned her shirt some so now her chest nearly hung out of it.

"It will be out in a minute, Sesshoumaru." I said turning away from him and walked right up to Yura who had gotten away from the table, but just a little bit.

"Yura, this is a family restaurant, put your clothes back on." I said then went into the kitchen, only turning around a little so I could see the look on her face, and it was priceless

I walked back into the kitchen, Sango was still there and Kira had not come back yet, she did seem pretty anxious to find Miroku to see what was going on.

"I need a miso soup for Sesshoumaru." I told Sango who began to heat some up right away

"That's all?" Sango asked as if it was a shock

"Yura un-buttoned her shirt again." I told her, she has done that a couple of times before thinking that people actually want to see that, or just Sesshoumaru, and every time she did he ignored her even more and made some rather rude comments about it

"Will she ever learn?" Sango asked laughing a bit while she stirred the soup

"I guess not." I said grabbing a bowl and silverware

"So are you leaving after this?" she asked I guess trying to change the subject off of Yura's cleavage

"Hai, I thought it would be better if I served Sesshoumaru instead of expecting you to do it." I answered her as I set up a small try to the we use to bring out the smaller orders

"I suppose it is. Wait since when did you start calling him Sesshoumaru?' she asked and I almost blushed at the tone she used

"He told me to call him Sesshoumaru a few minutes ago." I answered her as she poured the soup into the ready bowl

"Well anyways you bring that out so you can get going." she said once again changing the subject, she was good at not prying into stuff to much

"Hai, I will. See you later on tonight." I said then walked out the door carrying the tray

I walked back towards the table seeing Sesshoumaru still sitting there, and Yura was no where around. It was strange, usually when he was here she never left his side for even a second.

"Here is your soup." I said setting down his lunch

"Thank you.": he said taking ht spoon and taking a small bit of the soup

"Where did Yura go? She is suppose to take over my shift and I am about to leave." I asked him though I'm not that sure why I did it, but alas I did

"I sent here away before I lost my whole appetite." he answered making me giggle

"She'll do that to a person. Well I better go, see you later Sesshoumaru." I said but he only nodded at me

I walked into the back room and went to my locker, Kira had insisted that every employee get one, and I am glad for that. I put on some blue jeans, and a black tank top, it had been a little warm out lately so it was the perfect time to bring out the tank tops. I replaced my work clothes since I was coming back later and I could pick them up then, and I headed out the door. My bus was going to be picking me up in a few minutes so I had to hurry to make it there.

"I hope they are happy to see me."

Okay that's all of the chapters I have right now. The next one is half way done, so I should be posting it in a couple of days. I'll reply to all of my wonderful reviews in the next chapter. Oh and I want to say I am sorry for my horrible spelling and grammar, but I'm not a perfectionist, if I was then I would never post my fics.
