"Inuyasha? This is a different client we're seeing right? The one we're flying to now." Kagome gulped. She was so nervous that her knucles were white.
"Sort of."
"What do you mean, sort of?"
"Sort of means, half yes and half no."
"I asked you why did you say that? Not the meaning of sort of."
"It's a different guy, but it's the same lady." Inuyasha snorted. "Don't care about her. She's one of those whores that travel around the world to get money."
"I asked you about the client. Not the women accompanying them. Did you clean your ears this morning?" Kagome wrinkled her nose. "Eww, who farted?"
"Not me, but from what I know, it's called natural gas." Inuyasha gave her a knowing look. On the way to the airport, Kagome had been repeating the same question again and again asking about the client. Inuyasha had been nice enough to bear with her until she screamed about the "natural gas" that someone let out. Kagome was still fanning the air infront of her. Rolling her eyes, Inuyasha stood up. "Sit here, wench."
Kagome shot him a confused look. "Why?"
"Since you can't stand the fucking smell, I guess I'll have to bear it for you. Now get your ass off the seat and move, bitch."
He was irritated. Kagome just know he was irritated and she had a feeling she caused it. Wincing, Kagome quickly stood up, nearly stumbling as she fell into Inuyasha's arms. A sudden flash went through her mind. In this picture, she was in Inuyasha's arms. Then suddenly, Inuyasha pushed her away onto the ground. The words he said were not clear. Then Inuyasha pushed her into the well. The well? The hidden well?
"Earth to Kagome." Inuyasha's voice broke through her thoughts.
"Huh?" Then she realised she was still wrapped around Inuyasha. Blushing, she shoved her arms off him and sat at the window seats, watching the clouds float by as she thought of what happened.
"Can I ask you of another favour?" Inuyasha seemed a little bit embarassed.
"Say it. I'll see if I can help you."
"When we come back, I would like to go to one place."
"What place is that?"
"I-" Inuyasha coughed. "heard about this place called Midoriko's cave. I heard that it includes a priestess who fought demons and merged with them to form the so-called Shikon no Tama, the jewel of four souls. It also brought about the most famous story in history, the story of the hanyou and the miko. I found it interesting that it was still standing after 500 years so I thought I would like to pay it a visit."
"Hmm... I'm curious too. I've heard the story of the Shikon no Tama from my jii-chan when I was younger. I didn't hear about the story of the hanyou and the miko. Care to summarise the story?" Kagome glanced up hopefully.
"Alright. There was this hanyou, pinned to the tree because he tried to steal the Shikon no Tama. His destiny was to be sealed forever on the Sacred Tree, Goshinboku. It was said that he was there for more than fifty years. Then came a mysterious miko, priestess, she was said to be from another era and also the reincarnation of the miko that pinned the hanyou. But she somehow freed him. The story continued untl one point where the miko broke the jewel. They set off to find the shards together. As they traveled they got closer. On the way, they met a taijiya and a priest. The four of them traveled high and low. It was said that the taijiya and the priest were together and that the miko and the hanyou got together but were never brave enough to confess their love. People knew them for years around Japan. But the miko and the hanyou suddenly disappeared one day. Some people said it was because of the hanyou's stubborness that lead them to perish together. Some of them said that the hanyou and the miko were reincarnated together. There are many different types of legends. What do you think?"
"I think the miko and the hanyou were together in the end. No matter where they are, they know where and who each other is and is stll together." Kagome gave a contended sigh. "How did you get hold of the story?"
"History books. Classical movies and books."
"A guy who watches classical movies and books. Is he too lonely or is he just wanting love?"Kagome giggled at the thought of that.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing."
"Go to sleep wench. When we reach there you have to change immediately and get ready for the act." By the time he looked down, Kagome was already in her dreams. Smiling he requested for a few cushions from the stewardess and a blanket. Making her as comfortable as can be, Inuyasha closed his eyes. "You know, that was low."
"What?"
"Asking her to go with you just because you saw both of you together there in your dreams. You lied to her too."
"No big deal. I just need to get to the bottom of this mystery that's getting me in circles."
"Admit it."
"Admit what?"
"That you like her."
"Keh. That's just fucking stupid. She's just my maid"
"And wife."
"No."
"Deny all you want.You can't stay in your world forever."
"Who are you anyway?"
"Your conscience."
"Oh?"
"Doubting me?"
"No."
"Good. Then shut up and sleep. I'm tired too." Inuyasha gave up trying to argue and closed in eyes. In minutes, maybe even seconds, he was in a deep sleep with his head leaning on Kagome's.
None of them know that from afar, two people were watching them.
"How's it going?"
"Everything's just fine. They are going to visit the miko's cave when they come back."
"Do you think she will let them in?"
"Of course. Kagome-sama is a miko herself."
"If that's what you say, Houshi-sama."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm nervous." Kagome's hands were sweaty and cold. She didn't bother to wear her shawl as the last time she wore, it was hot and itchy. She was gripping her hands so tightly that it was white and very, very sweaty.
"Thought we had done this before." Inuyasha raised his eyebrow. It had started out alright. After getting off the plane, both were well-rested. The problem was the car that took them to the hotel. Kagome began to get nervous when she was changing and now, she was totally scared.
"Well, I didn't expect you to have such big contacts. I'm not so... so... used to it."
Inuyasha grinned at her discomfort. "How about we make a deal? Promise me you'll behave yourself and I'll promise you a tour around Paris for 2 days. Shop all you want. I can provide the money."
Kagome's eyes lit up at the idea. "Really?"
"Yep." Seeing Kagome relax, Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief and lay back. Kagome was even more beautiful than the first night. Because of the fact that Inuyasha wanted to see her in the same manner again and also because the client was a big one who will sign the contract if he licks his boots enough, Inuyasha had taken the trouble of inviting the hairstylists and make-up artists to pump her up. Inuyasha had taken the enjoyment of seeing her being made into a real princess for the night by sitting on the chair and sipping his red wine while watching the people fuss over her. Kagome was abit of uncomfortable at first. But Inuyasha's smile had somehow made her relax. In the end though, she had really appeared as the princess of his dreams. Her hair was permed into ringlets at the bottom, all down. Her jewelery was totally different this time, it was more expensive looking and bigger too. Inuyasha had promised to give her the whole set if she behaved herself too. Kagome rejected him. Her hair had shiny dots on it. Her face was like a barbie doll's. Blue eye shadow, she didn't need much blush because she already had rosy cheeks, with pink lipgloss. She was glamourous.
Reaching the destination, Kagome began biting her nails again. "But I'm really nervous."
"You don't have to say anything. Just smile." Inuyasha assured her. Linking arms, both of them walked into the mansion. It was gigantic, really."You can walk around. I need to entertain the client. Just don't do anything stupid." Inuyasha whispered into her ear. Kagome nodded and started towards the swimming pool at the back. It was beautiful. Everywhere was decorated with shimmering things. It looked to romantic and beautiful that Kagome had to remind herself that she was there as a act-wife and not a real fiancee. Smiling sadly, Kagome sat down on a swing and watched people communicate, talk and laugh. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an old man staring at her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Young lady, how much for one night eh?" The man whistled to her.
"Whaaa...?" Kagome eyes widened in disbelif as her mouth fell open.
"I asked you how much for one night. I doubt much though. You don't look that much expensive to me...."
~*~*~*~*~
Oh crap! He was the guy she met at the pub when Sango dragged her there the first time! Kagome lowered her head, looked high, looked low , anywhere but him. Kagome's heart started beating faster and faster as the man made his way to her.
"Hi again, business, right?" The old man glanced at her, then at Inuyasha. "Wonder what will happen if I tell everyone about.. how we met?"
"Don't be rash. What do you want?" Kagome refused to back down.
"You know what I want. But before that, you embarassed me that night, so it's my turn." Saying the man grabbed Kagome by the elbows and pull her up. "YOU BITCH! LEAVING ME THAT NIGHT!" He shouted out words unfamillar to Kagome as her eyes stung with tears. Her night... Her beautiful night. Cinderalla Princess night... Destroyed.
~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha turned his head at the commotion.
"What's that about?" Sanota-san asked. Inuyasha eyes widened as he saw Kagome being man-handled by the old man. Rushing there, Inuyasha stood infront of Kagome and punched the man, sending him flying into the water. Inuyasha turned around, only to glower furiously at Kagome.
"What the... Who the fuck was that, bitch? Why did you let him do that to you?"
"Your woman is a prositude. I met her at the pub. Maybe she's not one now. But she was. With her friend, Sango, I think?" The man, though furious at Inuyasha was laughing evily. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the elbow and pulled her away. Away to the safety of his car where he can shout at her.
"Who the fuck was that?" Inuyasha repeated.
"He-"
"Do you have any idea how stupid and humiliating it is?" Inuyasha bellowed. "It's no use. The contract's broken. Let's go home."
In the car, it was so quiet. "Look, I'm sorry. I-"
"IT'S NO USE EXPLAINING YOURSELF ANYMORE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BE SO FUCKING CHEAP!"
"Well I-" Kagome stopped. "Wha..t?"
"I DON'T CARE WHAT ARE YOU SELLING OUTSIDE. BUT THIS IS A FUCKING IMPORTANT MEETING! NOW IT'S FUCKING BROKEN! HAPPY NOW?"
A silence followed. Finally Kagome swallowed the last of her pride and broke the silence. "Stop the car." She said calmly.
"What?"
"You heard me. Now stop-the-car" Kagome's tone was clipped. Her lips tight. She was trying with all her might not to cry. She can do that later. Almost all her pride was gone. She had to save some for herself. Inuyasha stopped the car and Kagome got off.
"What are you doing?"
Kagome didn't answer. She didn't dare to. Walking away, to kami knows where. Deep down, Kagome wished that Inuyasha would stop the car. Just for her. Instead, Inuyasha got on and... drove off. She stared after the car in disbelief. Finally, she regained conscious after realising it was freezing cold.
She started after the car. Finally, she came to a pier. Sitting on a stone and crying her heart out, she knew her heart was breaking, piece by piece. Each broken off piece seemed to pierce into her. The more there is, the hurtful it was. Kagome cried until morning, cried herself to sleep. A certain young man walked over to her and placed his jacket over her. Sitting on the ground and watching the water's ripples, he waited for her to wake up.
"Huh?" Kagome woke up. "I hate these shoes." Wincing at her sore leg, she finally noticed the jacket and the man beside her watching her with amusement. "I look terrible, don't I?" Kagome barked out a terse laugh. A laugh devoid of any real humour. Kouga winced. "What are you doing here anyway?" Kagome asked.
"That should be my question. What happened? You look like a panda." He teased, refering to the mascara markings around her eyes.
"Uhh...Nothing."
"And you think I'm going to buy that?"
"Can we don't talk about it please? Ahh... I'm hungry. Anything to eat?"
"Well, when coming I looked at all the... restuarants but they were closed."Kouga grinned at her. "But I have a plan."
"How did you know I was here?"
"Instinct" Kagome glowered at him. "Okok, I didn't know. I like this place, that's all."
"Yeah, feels relaxing, doesn't it?" Kagome breathed in, trying to forget the hurt she endured, the fact that Inuyasha had so little faith in her, that Inuyasha doesn't trust her. And to think that she had believed in him all along. She was truely disappointed. Forcing a smile meant for Kouga, "Lets go then."
"Sure."
"How?"
"My bike of course."
"You have a bike?"
"Yeah.Rented it. Nice though." Kouga winked at her. Kagome smiled weakly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Can't believe it! Women!" Inuyasha banged at the steering wheel. "You know, she was right though. You were a little bit too mean."
"Look-" The sound of his cell phone ringing broke through the silence.
Inuyasha sighed. "Yes, Father?"
"I've arranged for you to get married again. You're not young anymore, and it's time for you to get married and give birth."
Inuyasha dropped the phone.

Adriannod: Thanks for awnsering my review! Anyway, I think them getting their memory back or somethink would be cool! Maybe Mrs.Higurashi is not telling kagome something. Maybe Kagome's mom has pictures of Kagome and inuyasha together. Keep up the awesome work, and the long chappies!
Fiona: Do you mean that my chapters are not long enough? xDD I'm sorry, because I need an ending note. When I think of it, I leave the story as it is. I might edit it when I finish the whole story. So until then, happy reading!
Elphaba: awesome story. i love the plot. i wonder what mrs.H is hiding. cant wait 2 see wat you write next update soon please. Always, Elphaba
Fiona: Urgh. Regarding this, I probably need help from the readers. I just wrote this part without thinking. Can anyone propose more ideas of the mystery of Mrs. Higurashi so that maybe I can piece them together and form a totally "sensational" mystery?
