Making the Most of Our Lives: Chapter Two

Disclaimer: Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. I’m just the obsessive worshipper.

A/N: Mucho Importante! Kagome’s drifting crew is called Team Midoriko. The other teams are; Fang, Miasma, Shichinintai, Ikazuchi, Kurohyou, and Gouhara.

As Kagome and Sango drove into FoxFire, their eyes widened.
“Whoa. The crowd’s never been this big before.” Kagome could only nod at her sister’s words. Pulling up to their personal garage, they stepped out, only to be swallowed in tight hugs from Asuka and Aiji, the mechanic twins that worked part-time at Higurashi Corp. After being released from their death grips, they took in the appearances of their mechanics and closest friends. The twins were beautifully tanned skin, had startling green eyes and rich caramel-colored hair that was layered haphazardly. Both wore white tank tops tied beneath their breasts, baring their toned tummies as it was the Midoriko custom. Their navy blue mechanic suits were rolled down low around their hips, held up by suspenders. Kagome whistled low.
“Damn, we have the hottest mechanics ever, don’t we Sango?” The four laughed and joked around a while before a silver Benz pulled up to them.
“Here’s your surprise!” Aiji exclaimed as she jumped up and down excitedly.
“Sur…prise?” Sango mumbled as the driver’s door opened to reveal a tanned calf encased in bronze heels. The person emerged to reveal her entire glory. A creamy cappuccino skirt hung low around her hips and ended in a slanted line across her thighs, her matching tank top hugging her upper torso. A wide smile and honey brown eyes stared back at them.
“Rin?” Came the awed voices of Kagome and Sango.
“In the flesh.” Asuka and Aiji smiled as the two sisters stared at the twenty-four year old with gaping mouths. When they snapped out of it and swallowed the older girl into a hug, the mechanic twins jumped in. After they broke apart, they talked and laughed as they caught up, smiles never ceasing.
“Looks like we got company.” The five girls turned to see Shippo and three guys coming their way. Two were obviously demons and brothers at that. They had long, silver hair, beautiful golden eyes, and claws. The taller one had pointed ears and demonic markings whereas the shorter one had puppy dog ears. The remaining guy was definitely human. He had black hair pulled into a little ponytail at the base of his neck and two tiny gold rings in one ear. Rich violet eyes and a lecherous grin.

His ears twitched upon his head. He couldn’t hear a word they were saying! He, Sesshoumaru, and Miroku had been chatting with Shippo when a black Jaguar had pulled and parked in front of the big garage. He couldn’t see the driver, but had a clear view of the passenger. He watched as a girl emerged and couldn’t help but to notice how hot she was. Black heels, nice, long legs, short black skirt, toned tummy, tight black halter top that didn’t leave much to the imagination. Oh yes, she was high on his list of hotties. But when she turned to scan the crowd, he was startled to discover that she had blue eyes. ‘Hm. Blue eyes. That’s rare.’
He had watched as the girl and her friend were attacked and hugged by twins that appeared to be mechanics. But then a silver Benz had pulled up and a slightly elder girl stepped out. He’d watched them greet each other and chat when Shippo interrupted his thoughts.
“I see you‘ve found your soon-to-be garage neighbors, Yash.” The Inu Hanyou replied with a “Keh.” Miroku and Sesshoumaru turned to look in the direction Inuyasha has been staring. Miroku’s eyes had a glint in them as he turned to Shippo.
“Shippo, why don’t you introduce us to our neighbors?”
“Yeah, yeah. Just don’t try anything.”

The girls had immediately swallowed Shippo into a hug. When they’d finally released him, he was ten shades of red. Cooling down, he pulled Kagome from the rest of the girls.
“Kagome, this is Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku; they lead Team Fang. Guys, this is Kagome, she’s the brains behind Team Midoriko. Her family took me in when mom and dad died.” The greeted each other and Kagome gestured behind her.
“This is my sister Sango, our mechanics Aiji and Asuka, and my cousin Rin.” Everyone did the being respectful thing.
“Kagome,” Shippo began, “I got news for you.”
“Sure Shippo, what’s up?”
“You know how you guys have the biggest garage and all…” He scratched his head sheepishly. “And you only use half the space so…”
“Just spit it out, runt.” Inuyasha interrupted. The Kitsune glared at the Hanyou before continuing.
“These three here and their racing crew are moving into town and I was hoping you could share your garage with them while I rebuilt the one next door.”
“I-- I don’t know, Shippo. I’ll have to check with the girls first…” At this, Sango stepped forward and placed a hand on Kagome’s shoulder.
“Sure thing, Shippo. It’s the least we could do for you.” Shippo thanked them and hurried off, mumbling something about pre-race preparations. Everyone scattered off into the garage, some getting ready for the races, others getting to know the place better. After a quick chat with a Sesshoumaru and a call to the rest of his team, Inuyasha left the second floor loft to check out the cars in the garage. As he descended the stairs and turned the corner, he was greeted with the sight of a luscious bottom in a black miniskirt that lead to creamy, bare thighs. Shaking his head, he realized he was staring at Kagome, who was bent over and looking under the hood of a black car. Speaking of said car, he admired its sleek, black paint job with the subtle silver patterns.
“Nice car you got there.” He smirked when she ‘Eeped’ a bit and shot up, subconsciously fixing her skirt. Regaining her composure, she gave a proud smile.
“I know, thanks.” He chuckled at her response.
“So what is it?” He asked as he stepped closer and inspected the car.
“Mazda RX-7, but I doubt you could call it that now.”
“Got a name for it?”
“My baby’s name is Shikon.” He nodded appreciatively.
“Nice paint job too…”
“Thanks, did it myself.”
“Wow,” he arched a brow.
“Yep, so where’s your car?”
“Crew‘s driving it over right now.”
“I see. You gonna race?”
“Race and win,” he smirked, but it faltered as she began to laugh. “What’s so funny, wench?” He almost cringed when he saw the dark look in her eyes. Almost.
“The name’s Kagome. Ka Go Me. Not wench. And you see this garage? Do you know why we have the biggest one, the only one with a preinstalled second floor loft?” She paused in her tirade, eyes flashing angrily. Inuyasha swallowed hard. “Because my crew brings in more wins than any other.”
“We’ll see about that, wench!” He felt his anger responding to hers. He almost laughed as her eye twitched. But she could obviously see the amusement in his eyes as her face faded into a cool smirk.
“Don’t worry babe, I like a little competition.” He was on the verge of retorting when everyone chose that moment to come downstairs. Sesshoumaru and Aiji approached the two at the same time.
“LittlebrotherKags,baby,youracingKougawill behereinfivecarandbikeweneedtoprepracetonight?”< br> “We can’t prep until they get here, bastard.”
“Both, what about you Aiji?”
“Just bike tonight. But I wonder who I’ll be facing from their team.” She grinned evilly. Sesshoumaru’s phone began to ring and he walked off to answer it.
“Where are the rest of our girls? We need to be ready in twenty. Can you go make sure Rin’s bike is out of storage and working good?”
“They’re getting bandaged, and sure boss.” Aiji grinned at her ‘boss’ as Kagome rolled her eyes.
“Thanks, I’ll see you in a few.” Inuyasha had watched the entire exchange and didn’t fail to notice the bandages on both girls. A quick scan told him all the Midoriko members sported bandages. He turned to Kagome, who was looking over a clipboard.
“Mind explaining the bandages?” The sapphire-eyed woman scribbled a note before looking up.
“These bandages distinguish the Midoriko girls from other racers and drifters. The girls are bandaged in different place according to rank. The highest rank is wrapped forearms,” she gestured to her own arms, “then it’s wrapped hands, then either right calf or thigh, then the left calf or thigh, and the lowest rank would be a wrapped upper right arm.” Inuyasha raised a brow.
“Pretty organized.”
“Yeah. Well, we take what we do seriously.” Their conversation died when a fleet of cars drove up to the garage.
