InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Cafe In Manahatta ❯ Part Twenty Eight ( Chapter 28 )

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 Twenty Eight

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never made it to Onigumo's office to talk to him about how things went at my sister's party. Peoples' New Years resolutions seemed to exclude coffee, and if anything, I had more customers then ever. I think that it helped wake people up on their way to the gym, and I found myself needing to open sooner and close later then I had before. I couldn't decide how to feel about that, but it was what it was.

 

When things started to get a little slower, around two in the afternoon, Onigumo called to check up on me instead, asking questions like, “and how did this make you feel,” and the likes of it. I don't think that phone calls were a normal procedure for psychologists, but since I'm a friend, I think that we can get away with it.

 

I had just hung up the phone when Kagome had magically appeared behind the counter and was contentedly munching away on chocolate death.

 

“So Inuyasha and I are thinking about doing the whole `meet the parents' thing.”

 

I raised an eyebrow.

 

“Like with Ben Stiller?”

 

She giggled. “Hopefully it won't go like that per say, but we want to get more serious.”

 

More serious? Clearly late night snuggles and tickle fights were no longer satisfying her.

 

“How much more serious?”

 

She took a deep breath before letting out, “like moving in together serious,” in one big whoosh.

 

That was a big step, especially for her. I shoved my hands into the front pocket of my apron and fingered the lid to my `miracle drug'. I had taken it at nine that morning, like usual, but that didn't stop the memories of a time when I lived with Joe from filtering in from around my barriers.

 

“And when are you thinking about doing that?”

 

“I don't know,” she replied as she ran a hand through her silky hair, shaking it a bit when she got to the crown and to her shoulders. “We only just started talking about it yesterday, but I told him that I wanted him to meet my parents first before we did anything like that.

 

I nodded my head. I knew that Mom and Dad were going to be thrilled. They had found out about Inuyasha around Thanksgiving, and they had begun to pester Kagome about meeting him during Christmas.

 

“I was thinking maybe the end of the month, but Inuyasha has been needing to stay later and later at work these days…he has a big case coming up soon, you know.”

 

“You have mentioned it, yes.”

 

“It's in February, but he tries so hard to do everything to the best of his abilities,” I clenched the bottle hard in my hand as she started another `Inuyasha is perfect, Inuyasha is the love of my life' monologue. “It will be hard to fit it in around his schedule is all.”

 

The timer in the back sounded, and Kagome threw the paper around chocolate death away.

 

I went into the back and pulled out chocolate-walnut turnovers and set them off to the side.

 

My baby sister was growing up, and I was being left in the dust to long after a dead man, and a man that I hardly talk to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: I am VERY excited for when things start with a 3 in the next few chapters. I just wrote chapter 34 and 35, and I LOVE how they came out. Not the way I had planed it exactly, per say, but still a fantastic end result, if I do say so myself.

 

I forgot to say this yesterday, but I will say it now.

 

THIS STORY WAS NOMINATED AT IYFG FOR BEST DRAMA AND BEST AU!

 

It didn't place, but it was still great to be nominated. This was like…a month ago or so? Ah…well…se la vida.

 

Thanks to all who have reviewed! It means a lot, and I hope that everyone will continue reading the story!

 

 

 

 

 

Now for the AR's (and yes…they are the normal ones. Still feel super bad about the mass one from yesterday :( )

Hehehe…nah…we have a ways to go yet before he shows up. My plot is a pain in the butt that way :-P. He will show up though! Hn…it would add a lot more drama, that is for sure, but we will just have to see what really happens ;-). I know I know I know…I'm horrible. First not telling you if it really is Inu, and then not updating for around three months? What can I day…summer just got to me :). I already have the next…hn…seven chapters done, and after I post this one I am gonna start with chapter 36. What can I say…I feel like I am on a roll, and I have the BEST scene planned out in my mind for around move in day. I think I already gave to much info. I know…I'm an evil wench. Thank you SO much for the review, and I hope that you will keep reading! This story is back in business!!!

I know…and that is why I normally try to be a bit more dependable…but…it's summer darnnit! And the last time I posted during a summer session, the amount pf people reading and reviewing went waaaay down…but that was back in the days of my story White Rose. Hahahaha…I think that the suspense is killing everyone! Even me! I can't say when that part will be posted, of coarse, but I think that a lot of people are looking forward to that post. Now I just have to decide if I should put a heads up about that or not. Hn… hehe. We will see ;-). Anyways…thanks for the review, and I hope that you will keep reading!!!

 

 

Thanks to everyone that read, and please review!

 

 

WILL WRITE FOR REVS (and the fun of it…but revs up the fun)!
