That's Just The Way It Is

Chapter 2

Shopping Trip Catastrophe

<><><><><><><><> <><><>

As much as I would have loved to scream, I knew I couldn't so I held it in, and still had my fake smile plastered on my pretty face.

"O-okay daddy." I said through clenched teeth. I heard Inuyasha grumble something but couldn't make it out. I kissed my daddy goodbye and left the office like there was a rabid dog on my heels…err…I guess you could say there was in this situation. Inuyasha folded his arms across his chest, which I took notice to and almost gasped at the sight before me. Seeing how I really wasn't looking at him before, I didn't notice the clothes he was wearing.

"Wow." I whispered to myself. He had on a red silk button down shirt with the top three buttons un-done, showing off his strong collar bones and the top of his built chest. His black baggy jeans of course left many things to the imagination…boxers or briefs? And his black dress shoes, just making him look like the real man that he is.

"Is there something you want?" I heard his sultry voice say and I couldn't help but nod. That's when I woke from my trance, hearing Sango and Miroku Snickering in the back. Gawd I must have looked like a real idiot.

"U-um, yeah…l-lets go." I stuttered. Jesus! The things this guy could do to me.

<><><>

We had decided to take the maroon Mercedes Benz, only because it was Inuyasha's favorite car and he was the one driving. Hey, I wasn't complaining…ok maybe I was, but Inuyasha can be a very annoying person.

"So what mall you want to go to?" Inuyasha asked. I shrugged.

"The Tokyo mall is fine. I just want to buy one outfit…"

3 HOURS LATER…

"Oh You really just wanted to buy one outfit." Inuyasha grumbled holding at least twenty bags. Miroku who was next to him, in the same boat, dropped some of the bags for the tenth time.

"Gawd do you guys really need all of this stuff?" He asked. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course Miroku. A girl always needs choices and the more clothes, the more options, and the more options, the less we need to go to the mall."

"Yeah but the more we have to wait for you in the house." I glared Inuyasha's comment. He didn't even flinch and that got me a bit angry.

"Fine then lets go." I said. Though Inuyasha didn't move a muscle. I looked over to him and saw that he had a serious expression…very serious. "What's the matter Yash?" I asked. He didn't respond to quickly.

"Kagome you and Sango get into that store right now." He said pointing to the store we were in front of. In seconds I figured what was wrong and pulled Sango with me. To the people around us we looked pretty weird and I felt kind of bad for what was about to happen. We as Inuyasha and Miroku dropped the bags they were holding and walk stiffly to where there was a dark hallway, leading to an emergency exit. I swallowed hard, afraid of what might happen.

"Kag you ok?" I look to Sango and nodded my head. We had been through things like this all the time, that's why Sango and I carried small hand guns in our purses.

"Yeah-" Before I could finish, two strong hands covered my mouth. I didn't scream because that just wasn't me and so I looked over to Sango, who had a captor of her own. Both man, due to the hands, were dressed in all black with black masks over their faces. I narrowed my eyes and did what I knew best, I fought back. Skillfully I brought back my foot and connected it with his 'lil jewels'. He hollered as he let me go and I took this chance to take out my gun and point it at his face. Sango had done practically the same thing and already had the guy at gun point.

"OMG they have a gun!!" Yelled a passing pedestrian. Before anything else could happen shots were fired and they sure as hell weren't from us. People all over the small started to scream. I rolled my eyes and looked back at the guy, getting frustrated I took off his mask, revealing a Neko youkai.

"Who's your employer?" I yelled into his face, knowing the drill.

"Like I would tell you bitch!" He hissed. I was shocked for a moment, this guy had guts and I had to hand to him.

"Oh really?" I asked pointing the gun right in the middle of his fore head.

"Go ahead. Pull the trigger, you'll never find out anything." He said a sly smirk on his face. 'Damn.' I thought, knowing that was the truth. So of course I didn't pull the trigger but still held it up to his face, just in case he tried something funny. After about a couple of minutes, I heard footsteps run toward us and turned to see Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Who the hell are they?" Miroku asked, pointing his gun as well. Inuyasha didn't need an explanation and quickly took something out of his pocket and placed it on both men. I raised a questioning brow.

"Any movement from you two and that electric charger I placed on you will send 200 volts of pain soaring through out your body." He said in a deadly voice. The youkai who I had at gun point, sucked his teeth and moved his leg to show that he wasn't scared. The poor guy looked like he was having a seizer with the way he shook. The guy next to him looked on in horror and decided not to even try and breath. "Come on lets go." I heard Inuyasha say and nodded as we all headed out the emergency way.

We were only a car away from our car when we heard the sirens of at least five police cars. Quickly we all dove behind the closest cars and waited as they past. Finally we got up and almost ran to the car. And through out all this, I just had to get a mean headache.

<><><>

At home things were worse than at the mall. Guards were all lined up at the outside of the villa and most of the people who came in were being stripped search. Good thing we had dropped off Miroku and Sango or they probably would have to go through that. I was hoping to just go straight to my room, but I guess that was asking for to much.

"Kagome your ok?" I heard my father say the minute I stepped into the house. I nodded lazily and tried to smile.

"Of course dad. You think a bunch of wannabe dealers could take me down?" I said proudly and my father smiled.

"Psh, how could they, you're a Higurashi they should have known better then to touch you." He said. "Remember Kag never back down and stay strong, always fight till the last drop." He said, I smiled warmly. Since the day I was born my father had taught to always be strong, emotionally and physically. Hell he was the one to teach me hw to fight and shoot any kind of gun. Its weird that I didn't turn into a tomboy. I guess I could thank Sango for that.

"Hey dad I'll be in my room if you need anything." I said and he nodded his head.

<><><>

The room I was in was all white, nothing but all white. It was so plain and empty, just the way I was feeling, or was it really me? I looked around and spotted a window and so I walked over to it and opened it. Bad mistake, for the minute it opened I was sucked in to darkness.

"What the-?" I asked myself, as I felt I was floating, that's when I touched solid ground. Suddenly the darken atmosphere changed and I was in back yard. The day was sunny and probably warm due to the clothes I had on. The flowers in the garden were at full bloom and I smiled. I looked to the right of me and saw Miroku and Sango waving over to me. I waved back, then I looked to the left of me and saw Inuyasha, and oddly enough he was smiling at me. I called out his name, but no words came out, and so I just tried to run after him, but each time I felt like I was getting closer, he was just pulled back, out of my reach.

Again the scene changed and this time I was in my fathers office. I gasped at what I saw, a man I did not recognize had my dad at gun point. I could hear as the man chuckled. I wanted to say something, but again nothing came out of my mouth, all I heard was my father begging for someone to keep me safe. My eyes widened. And that's when the man pulled the trigger…

<><>

"NOOO…!!!" I yelled. I shivered lightly as I saw that I was in my room again. "All a dream." I said aloud and looked over to the clock, it read 2:45 AM. Shit did I sleep a long time. I was still spooked up from the dream and decided to get a quick drink.

Walking down the long and dark hallways didn't scare me as much. What did was the eerie silence that was with it. Finally I made it to the kitchen and poured my self a full cup of ice cold water. When I finished it, I washed my cup and put it away. I was just about to walk up the stairs when I heard yelling coming from a room across from my daddy's office. Instantly my insides froze as images from my dream came into mind. Slowly I walked over to the half opened door and peered in, making sure that no one could see me.

Inside were two men, one of them kneeling in front of another man. My heart leaped into my throat as I hoped that the man kneeling wasn't my father, but as I got a better look, I noticed it wasn't because my father was sitting behind a desk across from that man. I also noticed Inuyasha on the side. His cold mask in tact as he glared at the kneeling man. They exchanged a few words that I couldn't make out. The only thing I did hear was my father saying something, getting up and taking the gun one of his lackeys had and pointing at the man.

"Say good night to day light." I heard him say before he pulled the trigger. I gasped as I saw the man's blood ooze out from both the front and the back of his head. Only seconds later did I realize my mistake and I glanced up, right into Inuyasha's golden gaze. Our eyes locked and I couldn't help but, stare. I blinked once before I turned from the door and broke into a sprint, heading straight to my room. Just when my hand was about to touch the door knob, another hand grabbed mine an spun me around. I didn't need to look up to know who it was.

"Why were you there?" He asked in a gruff voice.

"I-I didn't mean too." I tried to say, only it came out in a whisper. Never in my life did I ever see my father kill anyone, I mean hell, I knew he did but never did he do it in front of me. And as I kept thinking about it all I could think of was that damned dream. What if it really was my father instead of that man, I would have witnessed everything. I could just picture it now. The same crimson blood oozing from my fathers head as he fell limply to the ground and me standing there helpless. Before I knew what happen, tears started to pour from my eyes. 'Wha-? My…tears?' I thought. Never in my life did I remember myself crying. If that wasn't enough of a shocker I felt as two strong warm arms encircled my waist and pull into a warm chest.

With to much gentleness he lifted my chin with his hand and made me look up to him. I instantly got lost in his glowing amber-gold eyes, almost to the point where I didn't hear what he was saying.

"Don't cry Kagome." He said in a low and husky voice that had my heart pounding like it was going to come bursting out of my chest. Slowly I saw as his face leaned into mine and I couldn't help but suck in a breath. 'Is he going to kiss me?' I thought. In matter of seconds our lips locked and I could feel the heat from his body latch onto mine. Slowly I encircled my arms around his neck as he pushed me against the wall. Our kiss intensified when his tongue slipped into my mouth and explored its crevices. I did the same, not feeling shy at all and that's when our tongues met in a heated battle.

<><><>

I stretched numbly and yawned. Instantly I shot up in my bed and looked around. It was morning!

"Was all that a dream?" I asked myself. Slowly I brought my fingers up to my lips and brushed them lightly. "Did Inuyasha really kiss me last night, or was it a dream within a dream?"

Ah hells did Sango and I have a lot to talk about today!

AN: GAH very short chapter! But I thought this a very good place to stop, so the BIG question is…was Kagome dreaming or did Inuyasha really kiss her???? @_@ Well the more reviews I get the faster we will find out. SO REVIEW PLEASE!!!!! ^_^
