InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Secrets Come To The Surface ❯ Coffee Shop Letcher ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: This fic is rated M for a reason! (Yeah, the rating change is kinda weird. I'm trying to get used to it.) If you object to foul language, violence, or sexual situations, please read no further! (Because it makes the story so interesting!) Also, I don't own Inu Yasha, of course, but I wish I did. Grr… this wonderful creation belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. < .*. >

 

Lillikyi: *Hides from readers.* Yes, I'm sorry!!! I know it's been a reaaaalllllyyyyy long time since I updated. *Hides behind Sess from all the evil glares.* I worked really really really hard all summer long and I even got to be a manager at my job! I promise now that college is beginning I'll be able to write more. Cross my heart!

 

Sess: Yes, she will write more, and I will hold her captive at her computer to do so. *Smirks.*

 

Lillikyi: *Rolls eyes.* I think someone discovered some anime porn. *Raises eyebrow.*

 

Sess: *Flustered.* What… no, that's not it!!! *Blushes.* If it was there… it was on your computer!

 

Lillikyi: Well, hey, whatever floats your boat. *Winks.*

 

Sess: Uhhh, right.

 

Lillikyi: Yeah, yeah, so on with the show!

“Hey Joe! Iced white mocha, double shot with mint!”

 

“Girl, do you ever get anything else,” an elderly man with grizzled white hair shook his head, contemplating the young girl in front of him. “All that caffeine is going to get to you someday!”

 

“Not if I can help it!” She laughed, waving him off and moving to her usual cracked and worn booth that in the back of the little coffee shop that once had been red, but now had faded to a mauve-colour with age and time. `This place never changes. Kami, I love it here.'

 

When she got there she was startled to see someone already sitting at their table. Flustered, she contemplated what to do. Should she ask the guy to move? Should she just pick another table? `What the hell do I do? Kags said make sure to get our table. This fucking sucks!!!' She glared evilly at the boy that was causing her irritation. `He is kinda cute though…'

 

At that moment Miroku looked up to see a girl giving him a nasty glare. `What the fuck?' he thought. `I wonder what her problem is. She is hot, I'd love to help her out, and maybe more…' He smirked, his hentai thoughts taking over and imagining how she could take out her frustration on him… at his house, alone… they'd be in the bedroom and…

 

“Excuse me! Take a fucking picture, it'll last longer!” she yelled at him. `Frickin' pervert!' The grin on his face gave away his thoughts.

 

“Dearest, please forgive my perusing of your beauty. I believe I've fallen head over heals in love and it has temporarily stunned me. Please, can I know the name of the one that keeps my heart?” he said, reaching over and grabbing her hand to kiss it.

 

Momentarily confused and shocked speechless, she hesitated, `What the hell is this guy on?!!!' That's when she felt the hand rubbing her ass…

 

SLAP!

 

At that instant Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha walked into the little café. Kagome's jaw dropped open to see her best friend Sango slapping Miroku. Inuyasha fell to the floor laughing and Sesshomaru merely smirked.

 

Being the only one that could talk at that moment, Sesshomaru walked up to the pair, one of which looked like she was going to murder the other. “It's nice to see that you to have, uh… met…”

 

Regaining her composure, Kagome tried to keep from laughing. “Sango, this is Miroku, Inuyasha, and you've met Sesshomaru…” she gestured to each of them individually.

 

Sango crossed her arms, “Well, maybe your friends can put a leach on this letcher and you can tell me why you sounded so anxious on the phone.” She motioned and they all slipped into the old worn red leather booth, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru on one side, Sango and Kagome on the opposite. Sango waited for Kagome to speak.

 

Gathering up her courage, Kagome faced Sango, “I don't want to drag you into all of this. You're my best friend and I'm afraid things have gotten way out of control. Are you sure you want to get into this?”

 

Sango took a deep breath, “Kags, come on, you know me. I'm always up for anything. I'll always be there for you. Plus there are things that… make me stronger than the average girl. Come on, spill it.”

 

With knowledge that came from centuries of living and surviving Sesshomaru looked at Sango deeply for the first time. There was something different about her. He lightly scented the air, unnoticeable to most of the group. “Kagome.”

 

“Yes, Sess, what is it?” she said, turning to him and watching his intense gaze fixed on her friend.

 

“You can tell her everything. She is a hunter,” he said, reaching across the table to hold her hand in his, a slight but comforting and encouraging gesture.

 

“A hunter? What the fuck is that?” she said, brows furrowed as she looked between the rest of the group.

 

Before anyone else could respond Sango turned her hardened stare to Sesshomaru. “Yes, the Youkai is right. I am more than I appear. As are the rest of you,” she said, narrowing her eyes and looking at the rest of the group, for the first time noticing the earrings of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha and the significance of what they meant.

 

Seeing her look of suspicion Inuyasha's hands automatically went up, “Yo, hold it taijia, we come in peace, lay off with the demon exterminators look.” Sango's eyes returned to Kagome. “Kagome, I know you're a Miko… I can sense auras. I've known ever since I met you. It's one reason I chose to stick by your side. I knew that it would draw demons,” she said, looking at the brothers, “powerful demons to you. After I heard what had happened between you and Menomaru before I had met you, I decided that power like that should be protected.”

 

“My family is one of demon exterminators. Yes, we know that Youkai still exist, powerful Youkai. Some good, some bad, which help and pray upon the weak. I have spent my years training to fight this evil, practicing and protecting. But, lately you've shut me out. I have no idea what is going on and I need to know so I can help you. I'm your friend, you can tell me,” she said, taking Kagome's hand in hers and letting her see the truth within her eyes. “Plus, I'd like to know what you're doing with two demons and a baka Houshi that can't keep his Hentai hands to himself!” Sango narrowed her eyes and glared at Miroku who gave a sheepish grin and shrugged his shoulders.

 

Inuyasha grinned, “Miroku's an idiot, don't bother with him, he's not worth yelling over.”

 

Miroku made a gesture toward his chest as if he had been shot, “Etu brute?” Kagome laughed at this as Miroku turned to Sango. “My love, please don't speak such harsh words. You know that we shall last into eternity and beyond. The radiance of your soul matches mine completely and I shall walk to the ends of the Earth and back for you,” he said, raising his hands dramatically.

 

“Can it letcher,” Sango turned to Inuyasha, “Shut him up, will you?”

 

Inuyasha elbowed Miroku in the side hard. “Now's not the time, shut up Monk.” Miroku rubbed his ribs and sighed, but kept quiet.

 

Kagome then looked at Sesshomaru, who held her hand still. He squeezed it softly to give her encouragement. She turned to Sango and told her what had happened since she had met Sesshomaru. `Well, almost all, I'm not telling her about the juicier parts of course!' As she continued on with the story she saw Sango's face getting darker and darker. When she was finished Sango growled, “I'll kill the sonofabitch!!!!”

 

“No,” Sesshomaru said, “that's my job. You are to protect Kagome. Menomaru wants to taint her power so that he can control her. She MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.” He turned to Kagome, “Plus, I don't know what I would do if something happened to you. Now that we are mated and our souls are joined I don't know what my Youki would do… I could go insane, or worse…”

 

“NANI?!!!!” the whole group screamed.

 

“You did WHAT?!!!” said Inuyasha.

 

Kagome giggled nervously, “Uh, whoops. I guess I didn't mention that…”
