Take that Parris Hilton! You want something hot? Then look at my iPod cuz it's so cute and knows how to accessorize.)

 

 

 

 

 

The Café In Manahatta

Part Ten

 

 

My White Rose came in on Sunday. He looked weary and tiered with big, dark circles under his eyes, but he was still rather pleasant.

 

“Coffee. Black.”

 

“To stay or to go.”

 

“To go.”

 

It was strange. He didn't get another coffee or a muffin. I didn't think much of it. I was still feeling like crap over what happened with my sister. She called me up last night to tell me that she broke it off with Inuyasha. She didn't want anything to come between us, and that if she had to choose between the two of them, she would choose me. She was furious with the way he treated me.

 

I felt like even more of an ass then before.

 

My White Rose was my last customer. I had to go over to Kagome's and make things right.

 

I cleaned up, locked up, and closed everything. I grabbed my subway metro card, and soon, I was standing in front of Kagome's apartment. I raised my hand and knocked.

 

“Kagome,” I called. “Kagome, we need to talk.”

 

I heard shuffling and the door opened to reveal a red eyed and faced woman. She looked nothing like the sister I grew up with.

 

“Oh Kagome…what did you do?”

 

She leaped up to me and wrapped her arms around me. I thought that she would never let go.

 

“I'm so sorry I never told you,” she hiccupped through her sobs. “And I'm sorry he talked to you like that.”

 

“Sh…” I whispered, rubbing her back, “don't say that…”

 

“But I am! I never should have kept it from you. We…we share everything,” she chocked as I helped her back into her apartment and led her over to her couch.

 

“You had every right to keep it from me,” I whispered to her as I leaned her head on my breast, still rubbing her back. “You were trying to protect me, and I hurt you. I am the one who is sorry Kagome. I deserved everything I got. Please…forgive me.”

 

She kept sobbing into my shirt, wetting it completely.

 

“I missed you,” she lamented, “and I miss Inuyasha.”

 

“Oh, Kaggie, tell me that you didn't really break up with him.”

 

She looked away from me, a whimper caught in her throat.

 

“I just wanted you back, and he was…was…I thought it was the right thing to do. And…and we have only been dating for three months.”

 

I was a monster.

 

Three months was the longest Kagome had ever dated someone for. She had a bad first relationship. Her boyfriend, who she was head over heals with months before the relationship began, was two-timing her or with her. She was his girlfriend on the side. After that, she wouldn't let herself get attached to anyone male in a relationship other then friendship. She never dated. She was like me without the dead fiancé.

 

“We are getting you cleaned up.”

 

“What? Why?” she sniffled.

 

“You are a mess, and you wouldn't want Inuyasha to see you like that,” I told her as I went over to her bathroom and started the shower. I made sure that it was hot.

 

“Why is he going to see me? Kikyo? What are you doing?”

 

I pulled her up and marched her over to her bathroom and threw her into her shower, not caring if her pajamas got wet or not. I ignored her started little scream and yelp from the temperature of the water. She looked like crap. She needed this.

 

“Clean yourself, and come out after you have.”

 

I had things to do in that giant of a closet she owned. I needed to find something that said, `I'm sorry, I want you back. Please, forgive me.' It had to be somewhat dressy too though, and there it was: the perfect little black dress.

 

I found her phone and looked through her contacts.

 

Perfect. She still had his number, but I didn't want to call him yet.

 

I ran down to management, phone still in hand, and pulled a few strings.

 

Now all I had to do was text him to meet Kagome.

 

I need to talk to you. Please. Meet me on the top of my apartment roof in two hours.

 

“I'm out Kikyo.”

 

She looked better.

 

“Good. Do your hair. You don't have much time.”

 

“Time? Kikyo, what are you talking about?”

 

“You will see,” I told her as I ushered her back into the bathroom. “We're getting your man back.”

 

Her phone vibrated. A text.

 

Why? It read.

 

Meet me and I will tell you.

 

I sent it.

 

I was walking out the door when it rang again.

 

Ok. Two hours, but you got fifteen minutes to explain when I get there.

 

Fifteen huh? I had a lot of work to do.

 

After I worked my magic and prepared everything that I could, I found Kagome sitting on her bed in nothing but a towel and straight hair with only twenty minutes until she had to be on the roof.

 

“What are you doing!” I screeched.

 

“Kikyo…he will never take me back. This is stupid!”

 

“Don't think like that,” I cooed, rushing over to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “He will want you back. I'm sure of it, and if he doesn't, then he isn't worth your tears.”

 

She smiled and finally got dressed and put on makeup while I hunted down the perfect pearl necklace. I draped it around her neck, and then stepped back to admire my work. I did a good job putting that outfit together. The dress was classy, but clung to her almost like it was spray painted on, and the pearls just helped to tie everything together. Once her strapy shoes were on, I ushered her up to her roof, and told her to call me in the morning.

 

There were two elevators in her building. I took one down. Inuyasha took the other up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/n: And now things are better…yay! No new chapter tomorrow…I got a tad behind because of homework and I couldn't keep up with my “quota”. In theory…I have more chapters…but this one was longer, and I like to stay a few chapters ahead just so that I don't get to be 6 months behind (like I was with another story).

 

I got a request for the chocolate muffin recipe. I don't have one (sorry…I never made these things before…) but that doesn't mean I can't find one that sounds good!

 

 

Irresistible Double Chocolate Muffins

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

1 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup wheat germ

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup low-fat buttermilk

3/4 cup pumpkin puree

DIRECTIONS

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.

Combine flour, flax seed, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and chocolate chips in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just until combined. Spoon equal amounts of batter into muffin cups.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 to 30 minutes.

 

Thanks to those who R and R-ed! Much love to you!

 

 

Now for the AR's!

 

 

To: kokoronagomu

I will post A recipe (note the word A), and there will come to be a time when all of that music and poetry stuff happens…but she has to establish her café some before she branches out like that. If people like the recipe thing…then I will go for Blueberry Scone next :-P. Please keep in mind though that I have never made any of these, and that they are just recipes that I found online. Thanks for the review though, and keep reading!

Hehe…well…he is! We will hear alllll about their reltionship: through Kikyo's eyes. If I ever plan on doing a sequel, then it will be short, sweet, and through Kagome's eyes, unless if near the end I switch POV's and retell up to the place where I left off. Not very likely though…but we will see. I still have a ways to go. ANYWAYS…Everyone in the story is human (until further notice). Think of it like this: everyone looks like they are human, and unless if it will add more drama (positive and needed drama), they are human. Too many cooks in the kitchen though ruin the soup, so more then likely, everyone will stay human. Well, thank you for giving this Kikyo story a shot! I promise all “bitchyness” will have good and through explanations. Thanks for the review, and keep reading!
