That's Just The Way It Is

Chapter 7

Your Back, Kikyo!

<><><><><><><><> ;<><><><><>

Kagome sat happily at the breakfast table. Aya had cooked her some scrambled eggs with cheese and Kagome just couldn't say no. Yesterday when they had gotten home her father looked furious and relieved at the same time. He had even hired more body guards to be at different parts in Tokyo and in Kyoto.

"So what did you do next?" Aya asked finishing up washing dishes. Kagome looked at her before eating another piece of egg.

"Well we started to play poker,"

"I hope you did the things I taught you!" Aya said quickly. Kagome laughed and nodded her head.

"Of course, without it, I'd be the worse player! Well anyways after I won five times!" She bragged. "I figured the guys were used to me and being friendly, so I did the "cutesy wootsie" act and got them to succumb to me. It was so funny, though I feel bad for Kouga, I don't think he deserved to die, he wasn't really that mean to me, oh well." She said in a whisper. Aya sent a sympathetic look before taking her empty plate and putting it in the sink. "Thanks for the breakfast, it was delicious!" Kagome said and waved goodbye.

A woman about the age of 21 with long straight black hair that was tied into a low pony tail, walked up to the double doors and rang the doorbell. The guards next to her nodding their heads, recognizing her. She smiled coldly and smoothed out her white and red summer dress. After about two more minutes the door opened and the person on the other side almost gasped.

"Kikyo?" The woman, known as Kikyo smiled and tilted her head.

"It's good to see you, Inuyasha."

<><><>

Kagome was just about to go to the "play" room when she heard Inuyasha say a name she knew all to well. Her face instantly lit up and she ran to the doorway. She could believe there, actually standing there, was her long time friend that had left about two years ago, due to family issues.

"Kikyo!" Kagome yelled out excitedly. Kikyo's head snapped to the voice and the cold glare she was giving everyone was broken and replaced with one of pure joy. The two girls ran into each other and hugged. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe its really you!"

"Same here, you've gotten taller and you look so more mature!" Kikyo said pulling back to inspect her. Kagome did the same.

"Look at you, you look like a drop dead gorgeous model!"

"Well thank you very much." Kikyo said in an Elvis expression. The two laughed, until there was a cough from behind them. They turned to see Sanoske there with a fatherly smile. Something flashed in Kikyo's eyes for a second before they turned back to normal. Sanoske not missing it and only wondered what it meant. The two hugged.

"Its good to see you papa."

"Same you Kikyo, you sure have grown, and its only been two years. I'll get your room fixed as soon as possible." Kikyo nodded a thank you. Sanoske smiled one last time before he gestured for Inuyasha to follow him. Kikyo eyed him as he walked by her. And Kagome couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Uh, Kikyo?" Kikyo was taken out of her trance and looked embarrassed to Kagome.

"Yes?" Kagome rolled her eyes playfully and grabbed her hand.

"C'mon we have so much to catch up on."

<><><>

"You think its strange?"

"Something is up, it's been two years and we haven't heard a thing and then boom, this happens."

"I know, it surprised me too."

"I want a full check up by the end of this week."

"Okay"

<><><>

"So you guys have kissed?" Kikyo asked. Kagome nodded. She could tell Kikyo looked disappointed but didn't question it. "So are you going to take up your fathers offer?"

"Of course, I mean, I was born into it and I guess I live for adventure."

"But Kag there are different things that you can do for adventure, become a cop!" Kagome looked at Kikyo like she grew a second head.

"A cop?! That's like betraying my father! I couldn't do that! You know that Kikyo." Kagome said chuckling, but stopped when she saw Kikyo's serious face. "What's the matter?" Kikyo shook her head a little to quickly and smiled.

"Nothing jus thinking of back home. My sister is getting better, it cost a fortune for her surgery though."

"Oh yeah, Kaede! Is her eye better?" Kikyo sadly shook her head.

"They had to remove it and now she has to wear a patch over it." Kagome bit her bottom lip as graphic images came into mind.

"Aw poor thing! You'll have to give me her address so I can send something!"

"Alright." The two sat in silence. Both not knowing what to say, until Kagome had an idea.

"Hey want to go with me, Sango, and Miroku somewhere?" Usually Kikyo wouldn't hesitate in going but the girl shook her head no.

"I'm kind of tired from the trip and would like to rest for now, maybe tomorrow?" She asked, getting up from her chair in Kag's room. Kagome nodded her head.

"Okay then." She said. Kikyo smiled and walked out the door, closing it slowly behind her. "Hmm?" Kagome hummed, she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was up with Kikyo.

<><><>

"So what did you get?"

"Clean files, though Miroku told me that they had been edited not to long ago. but the people who did it are very good at hiding who they are."

"Damn"

<><><>KAG'S POV<><><>

I walked out of my room and closed the door, locking it as always. I'm just about to walk down the stairs, when I think about Kikyo. Slowly I creep over to her room and knock softly on the door. Nothing. I open it to find no one in the room.

"Wonder where she went." I slowly close her door and turn around when I collapse into someone and I feel my heart leap out of my throat as I am scared shitless.

"Where are you going?" I hear is voice and shudder.

"Why do you care?" I ask looking at up at him. Inuyasha's golden eyes glow oddly in the dim hallway.

"Just wondering, seeing how I'm your personal body guard. Also seeing how you were kidnapped just yesterday." I stuck out my tongue.

"So what, doesn't mean I have to end my life now! And if you MUST know, I'm going out with Sango and Miroku. If you want to tag along, be my guest!" I hiss. He only shrugs and I take that as a sign to slip out of our close proximity. Before I can even get a foot between us, I feel one if his strong arms around my waist and bring my back to his toned chest. I shudder lightly as his breath is at my ear.

"When you get back, me and you need to talk." He whispers and nips my ear.

"O-o-okay." I stutter. He lets go and I walk over to the stairs, afraid I might fall and tumble down. Damn him.

<><><>NORMAL POV<><><>

Inuyasha chuckles softly at Kagome reaction and walks down the stairs after her. Both never noticing the pair of brown eyes watching them from a dark corner in the hallway.

<><><>

Slowly yet skillfully she walked over to the ajar door and peered in, making sure no one could see her or smell her. She wasn't a high miko for nothing and skills proved useful in her new field of work. She thought that she was so good that she didn't even notice the presence that next to her until they tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped and turned, her eyes glaring at whoever got closer to her without her knowing.

"Inuyasha!?" She hissed. The hanyou glared down at her.

"I don't think you have any business spying on Sanoske." He said coldly. Kikyo rolled her eyes.

"I wasn't spying, I saw he was busy and was just waiting, like I don't know what he does, that I need to spy on him?" She said another roll of the eyes.

"Riiight." He said. What happen next was something he REALLY wasn't expecting. Kikyo had stepped on her tepee toes and kissed him! And guess who just happened to walk in through the door at that moment?

"INUYASHA!" (AN: The perfect cliffhanger)

<><><>

Kagome was just about to turn on her car when she remembered she had left her cell phone in her room, and it was the only thing she had during an emergency, though she rarely used it.

"Ah what the hell." She said getting of the car and heading back to the house doors. She quickly opened it and what she saw in front of her made her blood run cold. "INUYASHA!" She yelled out suddenly, not really knowing why. She saw as Inuyasha pushed Kikyo off him and look at her guiltily. Kikyo with a similar look. "H-how could you?" She asked sadly. Inuyasha shook his head and was about to walk to her, when Sanoske's office door opened.

"What is going on out here?" He asked annoyed at being interrupted with his meeting. Kagome just shook her head and ran up the steps to her room. Inuyasha took one look at Sanoske and ran after. Kikyo just stared at the floor. "Mind telling me what happened?" Thundered Sanoske's voice towards Kikyo, who looked like a deer caught in the head lights. After a minute she nodded slowly and followed him into his office.

<><><>

Inuyasha couldn't believe what that bitch had done. She knew that he liked Kagome, she was the first person he told and basically the only. And she has the nerve to something as stupid as that, and what's worse Kagome just HAD to come in at that moment. Did God really hate him?

"Kagome please let me in." He said calmly at her locked door. He could hear her muffled cries and wanted nothing but to hold her right now. "Kagome you don't understand, I didn't kiss her, I wouldn't hurt you like that."

"I would I know that?! I don't even know if you like me!" He heard her cracked voice say.

"Well if you open the door and let me in, then I can show you that I do like you!" There was some silence, before Inuyasha heard the click of the lock come off and the door slowly come open to reveal and red and puffy eyed Kagome. Her bottom lip out in a pouting way, making Inuyasha smile.

"You have two minutes." Growled out Kagome, her face changing from cute pouty to angry wild cat. Inuyasha nodded and stepped into her room, he looked around the dark room and noticed it hadn't changed much from the last he was in there. It was at least 5 years ago. "I'm waiting." Came Kagome's voice, taking him out of his trance, to look at her face.

"Ok listen. When you left I had noticed that during our time in the hallway someone was watching us and they were using miko powers to cover it." Kagome gasped lightly at this info. "And the only people who have miko powers in this house are you and Kikyo, obviously it couldn't have been you, so it was Kikyo. After that I had went downstairs and saw her spying on your fathers meeting, again trying to mask her scent. I caught her told her it was wrong, she denied it and next I knew SHE was kissing me, and oddly enough in that moment you walked in and saw us. I didn't even get a chance to push her away." Inuyasha finished with a sigh and he looked away, knowing Kagome probably thought he was lying. 8 years, 8 long freaking years he waited and for what? nothing.

"I see." He heard Kagome say and felt as her hand come up to his cheek, moving his face to look at her. He noticed that she had gotten closer and was only a breath from his lips. "So tell me, do you really like me?" Inuyasha smirked, his eyes lighting up with a new found glow.

"More then you know." was all he said and all Kagome needed to hear before both their lips met in a sweet yet passionate kiss.
