Chapter 4: The price of kindness

"Mother, I don't know where Kagome is. The damn phone lines went down. She could be anywhere." Said an excited man.

"Hojo dear, why did she go missing in the first place?" His genteel mother mentioned. From the beginning she didn't approve of her son's courtship with the girl. And it seemed that things were going well once they broke up. But her foolish son tried to reconcile their differences. He just didn't understand they came from two different worlds.

"We got into a fight. She was mad again that I have female friends. You know how possessive she is." He lied to his mother. He would never tell her of the many liaisons that he had with other women. He was just disappointed that Kagome found out. In his mind she was the perfect wife material. She had the body of a porn star, she wasn't too bright. And unlike other women, she didn't care about money.

"Well you know that her upbringing causes her to be paranoid. She's an orphan Hojo. She doesn't understand your needs. You just need to find your self a nice girl who knows how to follow direction without asking questions." His mother said not for the first time. Mrs. Akitoki wasn't stupid. She knew that her son constantly cheated on Kagome. Boys will be boys she thought. Kagome doesn't understand that society looks away at infidelity.

"So what are you going to do dear?" She asked.

"I'm going to look for her." He lied not telling her he had a guest who was currently occupied.

"You sound out of breath dear. Why not wait until the snow stops." She said full of concern.

"Ok I'll think about it. Love you got to go Mother." He said hanging up his cell phone. He sat back and moaned appreciated at the woman giving him service.

"Baby would you go look for me if I were lost in the storm?" The girl asked from between his legs.

"Did I tell you to stop bitch?" Hojo lifted his head staring at the girl. She stiffened and slowly went back to work. He looked at the girl's name tag, it said Anja. As much as he loved womanizing, he still was concerned about Kagome. He didn't like what his mother said or this lousy cleaner said.

'Kagome, where are you?' He thought

---------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------


It has been three days since Kagome was stranded with Inuyasha. Three days of being taken care of by a stranger. And though she should have been leery of letting him care for her, she had little choice. She felt safe with him, much safer then the guys back at the lodge. She couldn't help it if fate sent her to a handsome man.

She was in the bathroom and carefully stood up and for the first time since being in the cabin, she took a good look in the mirror. Her waist length hair fell in its usual silken curtain around her face. Her wide blue eyes absorbed the stunning prettiness of her features. She then gazed at her body, and frowned.

It wasn’t her fault that when she was stressed she would lose weight. Nor was it her fault that she was used to a strict diet. Even before being with Hojo, she just didn’t eat like everyone did. She looked and counted the ribs that were now showing. She noticed that her six-pack was dissipating.

Her looks carried a downside. The last few men that she dated all loved the size she was in. They all encouraged her to be the exact weight she had been since middle school. Her doctor even told her that she should gain a good 15 pounds, but she didn't care at the time.

She had long and slender legs, narrow hips and her breasts were full and perky a bit too large for her size, and that was her best feature. At least that was Hojo’s opinion. She pulled on a pair of sweat pants several sizes too big and pulled on a shirt.

Inuyasha was in the kitchen cooking and for a few moments Kagome was hovering by the door unsure of what to do next.

“Come in make yourself at home. I have some food ready for you.” He stopped and looked directly at her. “I don’t bite.” At that statement she sat down at the kitchen table and waited.

“So what do you do for a living?” she asked.

Well, I am working here and there. I am here for another two weeks and then I move on.” Inuyasha replied

“Oh so you are a caretaker here. So how long does that last?” He turned and looked at her with an expression of bewilderment. Then his face cleared. “You must be really good at what you do. You are so clean and tidy. I bet you are really popular because of how good you are.” She commented admiring the kitchen.

His left eyebrow cocked slightly but didn’t comment on the matter. Instead he asked. “It has been a couple of days now. Don’t you think you need to call someone to let them know you are ok?”

“Oh you have a cell phone?” She asked

“No I have a land phone. And it’s up and running now. That ex of yours might worry about you.” He commented wondering not the first time why she wouldn’t contact anyone.

“I seriously doubt it. I bet he is too busy banging the housekeeper then to notice that I am gone.” She complained.

“I thought he was your ex. Why does it matter if he’s sleeping around? Unless you feel that it’s beneath him to sleep with the help. Is that it? So you are jealous aren’t you?”

“Yes I am a tad jealous. I should be. He invited me up here to rekindle our relationship. He told me he wanted to marry me and to be with me, but at the same time have his fun. I don’t agree with that and refuse to share.”

“Well Kitten, it seems like the crowd you are with has some interesting ideas.” He said pouring himself a drink.

Well I never said things were perfect. He is my ex after all.” She muttered getting frustrated again. He did it again. He made her seem like a little girl and she had no idea how he did that. It was getting to her, because he looked like he was about 5 or 6 years older than her. She knew she was attracted to him, yet it wasn’t the same for him.

“How old are you Inuyasha?” She finally asked him

“Why?” He looked pointedly at her. He had noticed the heated looks that she gave him. Sure he is flattered, but he liked to play with this girl. She was just too easy to tease.

“Are you in your late twenties?” She asked him. He shook his head and waited for another guess. After two more, he had enough. He chuckled and walked over to her. He leaned over her and once his lips touched her ear, he whispered. “I am 58 years old.”
