Not According to Plan
 
Chapter Four: And it begins
 
Kagome stood in her living room with her mouth hanging open. “You want me to wear that?!”
 
Glancing down at the item of clothing he was holding in his hands, Shippo raised an eyebrow. “Why? What's wrong with it?”
 
“It's a tad…” she paused for a moment, trying to think of the right word to describe the dress. “…revealing, don't you think?”
 
Shippo shrugged, “I don't see anything wrong with it.”
 
“But it barely covers my knees.” Kagome protested.
 
Shaking his head, Shippo placed the dress on her lounge. “But this dress goes perfect with the wig I got you.”
 
“…What wig?”
 
The young journalist pulled out a blonde wig from his bag and handed it over to Kagome, causing her eyes to widen.
 
“What on earth makes you think I'm going to wear that?” she asked.
 
“Well for one: it's a well known fact that Inuyasha tends to prefer blondes.” he explained, “And two: I think its best that Inuyasha doesn't recognize you, especially considering everything that's happened between you two so far.”
 
Begrudgingly, Kagome put on the wig and looked at herself in the hallway mirror.
 
“I look like some blonde bimbo.” She muttered to herself.
 
Shippo walked up behind her, “So? Do you remember all the details for Koga's birthday party tonight?”
 
Frowning, Kagome nodded, “Of course I do, you've told me them over two thousand times for the last six days straight.”
 
“Well just in case, run it by me one more time so I know you have it totally under control.” he insisted.
 
She let out a small sigh, “My name is Yani, and I am an accomplished and talented author. I will go to the party, wish Koga a happy birthday, and then when the time is right introduce myself to Inuyasha were I am to…to” Kagome cringed, “to…charm him.”
 
Shippo beamed, “Good. I'm glad to see you're fully prepared and ready for this.”
 
Giving her friend a sceptical glare, Kagome pulled the blonde wig off her head and walked back into her lounge room. “I can't believe I'm actually doing this.”
 
“You're not going to back down on me now, are you? Not after all the work we've done for the last few days.”
 
She frowned, “No…but I hope you realise you owe me big for this.”
 
Shippo waved his hand dismissively, “Of course, of course. Now…” he picked the dress back off the lounge and handed it to Kagome. “Hurry up and get dressed. We leave in an hour.”
 
Taking the dress, Kagome shook her head as she headed towards her bedroom.
 
…How do I get myself in to these situations?
 
~*~
 
“Inuyasha, you do realise we've been at this party for almost two hours now.”
 
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow as he glanced across at Miroku. “Yeah, so?”
 
He shrugged, “No reason. I was just wondering how long you were going to try avoid Koga for.”
 
“For as long as I can get away with it.”
 
A small smile formed across Miroku's face. “You can't ignore him forever you know.”
 
Inuyasha scowled, “Why not? The only reason he even invited me tonight was so that he could rub the fact that he's a year and a month older than me in my face.”
 
Shaking his head, Miroku glanced around the room.
 
…well speak of the devil.
 
He nudged Inuyasha and chuckled. “It would appear that your favourite movie-star is heading towards us as we speak.”
 
Frowning, the hanyou turned towards where Miroku was looking. “Oh great… Just who I didn't want to see.” he muttered, noticing who it was that his agent was referring to. “What does Koga want?”
 
“Who knows, but tell me how it all works out.”
 
Inuyasha's eyes widened slightly as he watched Miroku start walking away. “Hey!!” he exclaimed, “Where the hell are you going?”
 
Miroku shot the movie star a sceptical look over his shoulder, “Come on Inuyasha, you can't seriously expect me to hang around while you and Koga try to kill each other.” A small smile formed across his face. “Besides, the ladies are calling me.”
 
Rolling his eyes, the movie-star scowled as he watched Miroku turn around and head off into the crowd.
 
…One day I am so going to fire his arse.
 
“I have to say mutt face; I'm surprised you decided to turn up tonight.”
 
Inuyasha spun around, his scowl deepening as he noticed Koga approaching him. “I'm surprised every time I witness the rare occasion where you are able to walk and talk at the same time without falling over.”
 
Ignoring the obvious insult, Koga tsked. “Now, now dog breath, is that any way to speak to those older than you?”
 
“Get over yourself you mangy wolf,” Inuyasha growled, “You're only a year and a month older than me.”
 
Koga shook his head, “I may only be a year one and a month older than you, but maturity wise—I'm several years ahead.”
 
Clenching his fists, Inuyasha took a step forward. “You trying to start someth-”
 
“Koga, I hope you're not causing any trouble over here.”
 
A young woman stepped forward, casting an inquiring look between the two movie-stars. “We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last time you two got in a fight.”
 
Koga gave the woman a wide smile. “Ayame, would I do that to you?”
 
“Koga, I've been your agent since you were seventeen. I am fully aware what you're like.”
 
She turned towards Inuyasha, “Speaking of agents, I met up with Miroku a while ago and he tells me that it's your birthday next month.” Ayame smiled, “How does it feel to be turning twenty six?”
 
“Wow, you're turning twenty six already, Inuyasha?” Koga asked, feigning disbelief. “I can't believe they grow up so fast.” He added in, wiping away a fake tear.
 
Inuyasha frowned, “You on the other hand wolf boy, still haven't grown up at all.” Turning around, he walked away from the two wolf demons and headed across to the other side of the room.
 
He sighed, “I need a drink.”
 
However, as he made his way towards the bar, he found himself suddenly stopping dead in his tracks.
 
I know that scent…
 
Forgetting his previous plan of getting a drink, Inuyasha spun around and headed towards the familiar scent—almost one hundred per cent certain of who it belonged to. It was a scent Inuyasha knew he would not be forgetting in a long time.
 
However, as he made his way through the crowd he was surprised to find that not only was the woman who had the familiar scent not who he thought it was, but that both Miroku and Sango were standing there talking to her.
 
What was going on?
 
Frowning, Inuyasha walked over towards his publicist and agent, both of them smiling as they saw him heading over.
 
"Inuyasha, glad to see you're not beating Koga up,” Miroku commented casually.
 
Sango nodded in agreement, “Yes, it'd be nice if you two could spend a couple of hours in a room and not break each other's bones.”
 
Then, she grabbed the woman who was standing besides her by the arm and pulled her forward. “Oh yes, before I forget. Inuyasha, this is Yani. She is a talented author.” She smiled, “Yani, this is Inuyasha” Sango let out a small chuckle, “Not that you hadn't most likely figured that out by now.”
 
The woman gave Inuyasha a small smile, “Pleased to meet you.”
 
Inuyasha stood there for a moment, still slightly puzzled about the woman standing in front of him. He was certain that it had been her that he had smelt, but how could they be the same person? For starters, this woman had blonde hair, not black—not to mention the fact that this woman was respectful and polite.
 
So, the question in Inuyasha's mind remained…
 
…how could it be that this woman had almost the exact same scent as Kagome Higurashi?
 
~*~
 
Kagome began to feel nervous as Inuyasha continued to stare at her. There was no way he could recognise her in this get up, could he? Was it possible that he already could see straight through her disguise?
It then clicked. Of course! Though her physical appearance was different what with the blonde wig and…ahem…dress, she and Shippo had done very little to change her scent—a dead give away to any demon, specially a dog demon. How could she have been so careless as to forget that major detail?
 
…Shippo, I'm so going to kill you for making me go through all this.
 
Luckily for her however, before Inuyasha could stare at her long enough to realise the truth, his agent, Miroku suddenly stepped forward.
 
“Oh would you look at that,” he suddenly spoke up, “It would appear that Sango and I got so caught up talking that we forgot to, uh…” Kagome watched as he glanced around the room for inspiration.
 
“…We forgot to, um, uh…wish Koga happy birthday,” he finally answered.
 
Then, without another word, Miroku grabbed Sango by the arm and started pulling her away. “Maybe you two should try and get to know each other better.” he added in with a wink as he glanced over his shoulder.
 
Watching them walk away, Kagome's eyes widened slightly as she watched Inuyasha's publicist pry her arm out of Miroku's grasp and clip the agent behind the head.
 
…what a strange pair, she thought to herself.
 
“Tell me…Yani, is it? Are you related at all to a woman called Kagome Higurashi?”
 
Kagome froze, “Uh, um…no.” she stuttered, turning her attention back to Inuyasha. “I mean…uh, yes! Yes! Kagome and I are…”
 
…sisters…cousins…twins…c ome on you can think of something!
 
“She and I are second cousins.” Kagome finally answered, shaking her head at the obvious lie she had just made.
 
Raising an eyebrow, Inuyasha gazed directly into her eyes. “Is that so? Are you two close?”
 
“Not really. Because of my career I have to travel a fair bit for book tours and such.” Kagome plastered on a fake smile, “Is there any particular reason why you asked.”
 
“You have very familiar…attributes.”
 
“Good ones I hope.”
 
“Let's just say that she definitely left her mark.”
 
Was he actually falling for this charade? Kagome let out a relieved sigh. The last thing she wanted was for this conceited asshole to think that she was so enamoured by him that she dressed up as someone else in an attempt to get close to him because lets face it, that's exactly the conclusion he would come to.
 
Kagome turned her attention back to the movie star in front of her, “I hear that you are about to start working on another movie next month?”
 
“I'm thinking about it.” Inuyasha replied, still staring at her intently, “I have a few other important matters I want to finalise before I get back to acting.”
 
“Really? Like what exactly? I'd love to hear all about it.” Kagome had to restrain herself from gagging. Acting all nice and friendly with this guy was seriously taking its toll.
 
A small grin crossed his lips, “You a fan of mine or something?”
 
“Only you're biggest! I've seen all your movies!” Shippo was so going to pay for this. “You have to be one of the greatest actors around.”
 
“You really think so?”
 
Oh you have got to be kidding? Kagome couldn't believe she was doing this. “Uh…yeah! Of course! Everyone I know loves you and your movies. You're really talented.”
 
Miroku and Sango suddenly reappeared. “It seems you have gotten yourself another fan, Inuyasha.” The agent spoke up, giving Kagome a small wink.
 
“Leave Yani alone,” Sango argued, shooting a reassuring smile towards to the supposed author, “It's not her fault that she, like most of the female population, is drawn to Inuyasha's charm.”
 
Drawn to Inuyasha's charm? Drawn to Inuyasha's charm? They seriously have got to be joking. It was taking all of Kagome's strength to not just burst out laughing right there and then.
 
Miroku massaged his chin in thought, “I just got a brilliant idea. What if-”
 
“No Miroku, Yani will not bear your child.” Sango interrupted.
 
He gave the woman beside him a weird look. “Uh…That wasn't actually what I had in mind. However.” He paused. “That is definitely an interesting idea.”
 
These people all had to be insane Kagome decided. There was no way that these three could be mentally healthy the way that they act.
 
“Just get to the point, Houshi.” Inuyasha suddenly spoke up, not wanting his agent and publicist to get into another argument.
 
Miroku spun away from Sango, “Ah yes, my brilliant idea!” he turned his attention back to Kagome, “I think Yani, our young author here, should write a novel about Inuyasha.”
 
“What?!”
 
~*~
 
Now before you guys say anything I just want to say that just because it appears Inuyasha is fooled doesn't make it so. He could be fooled or maybe he isn't? Could it be that Inuyasha doesn't suspect anything? Or maybe he knows it's Kagome under that disguise? I am not going to tell you which. Lol. Its up to you to guess.
 
Cheers,
