Disclaimer: I love the only Inuyasha related thing I own. My cute little chibi inu key-chain which lives out its happy life on my iPod making fashion statements everywhere (Ha! Take that Parris Hilton! You want something hot? Then look at my iPod cuz it's so cute and knows how to accessorize.)

Part Eleven

 

“I can't believe how stupid I was to almost let him go,” Kagome told me when she walked into my café bright and early.

 

“I take it everything went well last night?”

 

“Well…I didn't get off Scott free, nor did he, but I still have my Inuyasha. Do you know how good it feels to say my Inuyasha?”

 

“I have a fairly decent idea, yes,” I replied. I wasn't about to tell her that that's exactly how I felt when I was with Joe.

 

“How did you manage to do it Kikyo? Everything was perfect when I got there. Lights, food, the dress…everything!”

 

“I had a bit of help with the lights,” I told her. In all the time that Kagome had lived in her apartment, not once had she ever really been on her roof. I went up there more often then she did. Her roof was almost like a tiny central park, but with more bushes and less trees. There were still some trees…but that was besides the point. They keep Christmas lights up a good portion of the time: I just had to run and buy the white Chinese lanterns to stick in the trees. The food was easy too. A good, cheep Italian place that Kagome loves to go to, some red wine, and some of the blueberry scones she had yet to bake. I thought that something hand made by Kagome would be a good addition. Throw that on top of the glass table and a few white candles, which I also bought, and presto! Instant romantic setting in the middle of good ol' Manahatta.

 

“I don't care how you did it, but you did, and I am so very thankful. Kikyo, you have no idea how wonderful he is! I have so many different things that I want to tell you about him, but I don't want to be late for work.”

 

“Stop by after and then we can talk about him, ok?”

 

“I will!” she called on her way out the door, coffee and scone in hand.

 

I could see Mr. Simon looking at me out of the corner of his eye, and I knew that I had to go over to him and talk once I finished up with the next few customers that walked through the door. I was just putting the change into the cash register when I heard the door open, and my White Rose came in…only…he didn't look like my White Rose. He was wearing a suit and tie. His hair was cropped and slicked back. There was no laptop on his person, just a large briefcase.

 

“Coffee and a blueberry scone.” He looked…good this way. Really good. Older even. I was surprised to see him like this, but I summed it up as a meeting with a publisher or something. After getting over my shock, I suddenly realized that this would be the perfect time to come up with some witty remark. Something flirtatious. Something that showed that I had taken an interest in him, yet wasn't too strong or blatant.

 

His phone rang and the moment was gone.

 

He flipped it open while I got him his coffee and his scone, and he laughed at whatever the text said. He speedily paid me with another ten and left.

 

This day was too odd for me. My sister and Inuyasha, my White Rose coming in on a Monday and in a suit and tie…something was bound to happen.

 

I felt a little bewildered by our interaction today, but again, I chose to ignore it. After all…curiosity killed the cat.

 

I walked over to Mr. Simon and sat down, another cup of coffee and a muffin for him.

 

“It's on the house,” I said, and he smiled.

 

“Well, what do I owe this pleasant surprise too? You coming to me for once instead of me coming to you?”

 

“It has been a rather strange day.”

 

Mr. Simon nodded and swirled his coffee as if it were a fine wine, sipping some of it before putting the cup down and letting the feel of it seep into his hands.

 

“I take it that everything with your sister worked out.”

 

“Oh, yes. I can't believe how big an ass I was.”

 

“Watch that mouth of yours young lady. I am known to scrub out dirty ones with soap.”

 

I laughed. It was good to sit with Mr. Simon and joke around and just talk about everything.

 

He became my second constant that day.

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: YAY! Inu and Kag are together again. I needed a quick break from writing this, and now I feel aaaaaaaall better. I should be posting once a day again, but if I don't, then it will be coming in the next few days! I wanna try and wrap this guy up before the end of the school year, and I have 20 more school days left. You may begin placing bets now :-P. Thank you so much to everyone that has read and reviewed! It means the world to me! Now then…keep reading (and throw a review in there too :-P).

 

 

 

 

And now the AR's!

Haha…well…it goes along with her bubbly and unpredictable personality, and Inuyasha was kinda rough with Kikyo. Haha…we will see. I might not get around to it (I do have 3 other stories and 2 books I am working on. This is a short break for writing stress, if that makes sense), but if all else fails, I give you a go a head for tackling that one. I'll be sure to read it ;-). Eh heh heh…well…turns out I wasn't behind, but rather, working ahead…but it all worked out well in the end? 20 days…20 and then it won't matter. Anyways…thanks for the review, and keep reading!

 

To: jflorea

 

Aw…thank you! That means a lot to know that you are still out there :D. She realizes that now…but at the time she felt really really hurt by Kagome since they are so close, and Kagome booted off Inu because they ARE really really close, and she couldn't stand the way he treated Kikyo. Well…I think this last chapter cleared everything up…but he was in the dog house for a while. Dog house…lol. Thanks for the review, and keep reading!

 

To: kokoronagomu

 

Ah…but we don't know if that was him or not, but someone was defiantly worse for wear. This last chapter cleared everyting up, so no worries…they are in the clear now! Thanks for the Review, and keep reading!
