That’s Just The Way It Is
Chapter 8
Suspicions
<><><><><><><><><> <>






It was like a dream, one that Kagome did not want to wake up from. She smiled happily as she brushed some of Inuyasha’s bangs out of his face. He had stayed the whole night, and no they hadn’t done a thing, like she said, she was going to lose “it” until she was married. But he did stay with her, both talking about each other and such, until they fell asleep on her bed. Kagome smiled even more when she remembered what they talked about.

______FLASHBACK______

When they finally separated for air, they just stood there looking at each other.

“You know you look much cuter when you cry.” Inuyasha said. Kagome hit him lightly on the arm as she lead him to her bed for them to sit.

“So your saying I’m ugly when I’m not crying.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes and pulled her into his lap, something Kag wasn’t expecting, but soon melted into him.

“You know I didn’t mean that, but if you want to say that, then that’s your problem.” He said laughing when she tried to hit him with a pillow. That just made him attack her and pin her to the bed. Kagome blushed and looked up at him innocently, making Inuyasha smile warmly. “Man do I like you a lot.” He whispered.

“Me too. I have ever since I met you, even though your four years older then me.” She laughed.

“Same here.” Kagome looked at him strangely.

“Then why didn’t you ever look my way or even let me know.” Inuyasha shrugged and sat up from their compromising situation.

“Well I thought seeing how your father protected you like you were a new born baby, that I would have to earn his trust before I could start to court you.”

“Court me?” Kagome asked. Inuyasha nodded his head.

“Yeah, that’s what we youkai call it, think of it as dating, but we take much more seriously.”

“Oh so US humans don’t take dating seriously?” Kagome asked raising an eyebrow.

“No.” He said bluntly. “What I mean is that when dating, people tend to do it for a short while, and most people don’t stay together for long. But with courting your basically dating your life long mate. That’s how it is for youkai, once we choose, we can’t just un-choose.” He tried to explain. Kagome thought about for a while before nodding her head.

“I think I get it. That makes sense. So you want to be with me forever?” She asked in a shy voice. Inuyasha chuckled and stole a quick kiss.

“Only if you’ll have me?” Kagome smiled and put their fore heads together.

“You don’t even need to ask.” She said before both shared a sweet kiss.

_____END FLASHBACK_____

Kagome was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t see when Inuyasha’s eyes fluttered open or how he just stared at her. That is until she turned back to him and almost jumped 10 feet into the air.

“Holy crap, I thought you were asleep.”

“I was, until your wonderful scent woke me up.” Kagome blushed instantly and got up form the bed only to be pulled back down by strong arms. Kagome’s back met Inuyasha’s warm chest as he buried her head in the crook of his neck. “Don’t go just yet. You know this will probably be the only time we can be like this. Let’s not waste it.” He said into her ear and kissed hot trails down her neck, sending shivers up her spine.

“Man, Yash where did you learn to kiss like that.” She heard him chuckle in her hair.

“It’s called instinct, I could never kiss anyone like this except you. Also I’ve already started to court you an that means that any man you come into contact with, you’ll repulsed by them.” Kagome’s head whipped around to face him?

“What?!” Inuyasha rasied a brow.

“Geez don’t sound to mad about it.” He said, his ears dropping a bit. Kagome shook her head.

“No, I’m not mad, just surprised, what about my father?”

“It only works with people you don’t know. So if a man came up to you and touched you, you would feel a slight jolt and so would he, also me too. It’s the same with me, only with women.”

“Oh ok, that’s weird but I’m okay with it.” Inuyasha nodded his head and was about to kiss her when there was a knock at the door. Both heads whipped up to look at it.

“Kagome, its me your father, please open this door.” He said in a controlled voice. Both Inuyasha and Kagome turned their head s to each other.

“Oh shit!” Both said in unison.

“Hurry hide.” Kagome whispered to Inuyasha who scurried under the bed. “Umm…just a moment daddy!” Kagome squeaked out, when she saw Inuyasha was safely hidden, she ran to the door and slowly opened it.

“Well its about time, what are you hiding…a boy?” Sanoske laughed, while Kagome paled.

“Uh-hehe yeah right dad.” She hehe-ed some more before letting her father in. “So…what are you doing up here?”

“What now I can’t visit my daughter in her room?” Kagome shook her head.

“Sorry, its ok its just that you rarely do anymore, so I just thought,”

“Yes I understand, I guess the business has kept me busy. And soon enough you will be consumed into it.”

“Oh yeah…”

“That’s one reason I came up here, I want you to start your first mission today!” He said a little too happily.

“Really? What am I supposed to do?”

“You’ll see when it comes, be ready for 3:00 on the dot. Bye” He said with a wave and left the room. When Kagome saw that he was fully downstairs, she gave a out a loud sigh. Inuyasha pulled himself from under the bed and was about to walk up to Kagome when there was another knock on the door and he had to dive back under the bed.

“Yes?”

“Kagome…it’s me Kikyo.” Kagome’s eyes narrowed as she opened the door.

“What do you want?” She asked in a deadly voice. Kikyo look so guilty and she looked like she was on the brink of tears, but Kagome controlled herself.

“Oh Kagome, please, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean what I did, I don’t even know why I did it! Please I beg you not to be mad at me. Your like a sister to me and I would die protecting you, please don’t take what happened seriously, it meant nothing to me and I’m sure nothing to Inuyasha.” Inuyasha who obviously heard everything rolled his eyes. ’Of course he didn’t think anything of it, he wanted Kagome not Kikyo.’ He thought, mentally smacking Kikyo. Kagome paused for a long while. She knew perfectly well it meant nothing to Inuyasha, but what if Kikyo did it again? I guess that was a chance she had to take.

“Alright I forgive you Kikyo, but please do not pull another stunt like that again. We’ll have to talk later ok.” She said. Kikyo brightened up and gave her a hug. Kagome hugged her back and smiled a she slowly closed the door.

"So is it safe yet?" Inuyasha said grumbling. Kagome had to laugh as she bent down to see him all scrunched up.

"I think so, although Miroku might come along, so-"

"Oh hell I'll kill the next person that comes to knock on that door, I swear I will." He said pulling himself out from under the bed. Kagome shook her head and wrapped her arms around his middle.

"So when are we going to talk to my dad?"

"Dunno, how about today, so we can get it over with." Kagome sighed and looked down to the ground, before she felt Inuyasha's fingers under her chin. He slowly lifted her head and looked deep withen her eyes.

"Inu-" Before she could finish he brought his lips down to hers. Kagome being brave licked his lips, asking for entrance, he gladly complied and smiled in the process. They were just about to indulge more into their kiss when the door was swung open and a loud gasp could be heard.

"OMG I am so sorry, I didn't know you guys were in here...together...like...that." Sango said and went to walk back out.

"Wait Sango!" Kagome yelled before her friend could leave. Inuyasha grumbled a few things before sitting on the bed with his arms crossed over his chest.

"So...looks like you two have finally admitted your love for each other." Sango said a huge cat grin merring her face. Inuyasha just glared at her while Kag beamed brightly. "You have to tell me everything." She squealed and Kagome couldn't help but do the same.

"Kagome your not going to possibly tell her everything?" Inuyasha asked a hint of pleading in his voice. Kagome quickly turned around to him.

"Of course I am, she's my best friend, I tell her everything!" She said and started to push him out the door. "Now I want you out...for now." Add seductive wink here. "we have to talk some girl talk, I'm sure Miroku is downstairs, he's never far from Sango's side. Why don't you go make friends with him or something." She suggested before shutting the door in his face. Inuyasha stood there for a few minutes, wondering what the hell just happened.

"I still can't believe that Kikyo's back, I thought we would never see her again."

"Same here, I mean it was so out of the blue. She didn't even call." Kagome said pulling another pillow under chin. Sango was also sprawled out on Kag's bed, both with pillows supporting their heads.

"So do you think maybe that she could be working for someone?" Kagome gave Sango a serious look.

"You don't think that she could be working for Naraku do you?"

"Who knows though I wouldn't doubt it. I guess this just means we have to keep our eyes open when around her." Kagome nodded faintly and let her head fall to the side.

"I wonder why she was spying on us?" Kagome said more to herself but Sango heard and thought about it to herself also.

"C'mon we should go downstairs and see what's up with our men." sango said with a wink and dragged Kagome off the bed and out the door.

A shadowed figure quickly scurried from tree to tree, trying to find a shady and far away spot. Finalling succeding in finding a big enough tree, it took what look to be a cell phone out and dialed a number quickly. The ringing sound went off for about a minute before someone answered.

"So you got in?" Said a gruff voice on the other side.

"Of course who do you think I am?" The figured almost yelled, but contained it due to their surroundings.

"You know your mission. I want you to call back two days from now, I need to know you pregression."

"I'm hoping that I can go far, I know these people like the back of my hand and getting them to say anything about the business is like trying to get a newborn baby to walk." The voice chuckled lightly.

"Just remember what your there for."

"I know...sir." And with that the phone was cut off and the figure slinked back to where it came from. What the figure didn't know that it was being watched and not just by one person.

________________________________________________________________________ _____

"Blah blah blah, Miroku please shut the hell up." Inuyasha said for the billionth time.

"You know your no fun, I really don't see what Kag sees in you."

"I'm glad, I'd be scared if you did." Miroku flicked the finger to him and Inuyasha just rolled his eyes. Just then the door to the living room opened and in stepped Kagome and Sango.

"Hey Roku!" Kagome said cheerfully.

"Sup Kag, so I hear a little suttin suttin happened between you and Inuyasha here!" He said his brows going up and down, in a suggestive manner. Kagome turned horrified eyes to Inuyasha who looked like he was a deer caught in the head lights.

"You told him what we did?!"

"What the fuck?! What the hell did we do?!" He turned to Miroku. "And when the hell did I tell you anything!?"

"What do you mean what did 'we' do?!" Kagome shrieked. Inuyasha instantly got up.

"You know what I mean." Kagome turned her head to the side, her chin up in the air.

"No I don't think I do."

"Kagome." He growled out.

"Inuyasha." Kagome spat back.

"Ok you two can calm down now, it was only a joke, I didn't think you guys were going to have a lover's spat over it." Miroku said rubbing the back of his head. Sango sighed while the other two just turned away from each other, blushes staining their cheeks. there was a moment of silence before Kagome got fed up with it.

"So what do you guys want to do today?"

"Not much, we have to meet your father later for a meeting." Miroku said. Sango nodded remembering why she had come here.

"Oh yeah, my father came to my room this morning, something about today being my first mission."

"Finally we get to be in some action." Sango said throwing a fist into the air.

"Knowing Sanoske, he won't give Kagome something so dangerous, probably simple, like a drop off." Inuyasha said.

"But why would I do a drop off? Isn't that what his lackys are for?" Inuyasha shook his head.

"Not if its with someone higher up and anyways his "lacky's" are used for keeping wanna-be drug dealers off our territory. You know the dirty work." Kagome nodded at this information.

"So what do you do?" Inuyasha smirked.

"I'm your fathers right hand man." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I know that, what I want to know is what you do as that." Inuyasha shrugged.

"Not much but kill anyone that gets in your fathers way. I've also handled some meetings before when your father couldn't do it, for either sickness or just being to busy." He said proudly. Kagome had to contain a giggle from seeing his chest puff out a bit. " I used to handle the money too, but I think he will also be giving you that job." He gestured his head to Kagome, who raised her brows.

"Really? Not bad, at least I don't have to kill anyone." She said with a wink.

"I wouldn't let you anyways, from now on I will be going with on all of your missions no matter what." Inuyasha said with a My-Word-Is-Final tone. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"You can't treat me like a little girl Inuyasha, I can take perfect care of myself. My father wouldn't be giving me this job, if he didn't think I was going to be safe." Inuyasha snorted and Kagome couldn't help but over at him.

"Your father wouldn't have given you this job if he didn't think that you would have a billion gaurds around to protect you." He said with a smirk, but when he saw her saddened face it was instantly wiped away.

"I see, so this is bascially a waste of time."

"Kagone." He said her name. "Its not, just do it and maybe he will get used to it enough that he would call off some gaurds. Its only for your protection. So quit whining." Kagome looked at him with a roll of her eyes.

"I wasn't whining, but whatever." She said and walked over to the door. The others just stared after her as she left the room.

Kagome's POV


I wasn't really that mad as I left the living room. I figured my father might have done that anyway, I mean I am his only daughter so I guess its natural to be worried about me. Duh. Though it would be nice if he could think for once that I can take care of myself. I'm hoping this way, with the business and all, that I can prove it to him.

My thoughts were interuptted when I saw something move from the corner of my eye, I was in the hall for the back gardens and the movment had came from the doors just in front of me, though is anyone had come in they wouldn't have seen me. Slowly I slinked my way to the column that was what kept me hidden and noticed that it was Kikyo who came through the doors.

I saw as she slipped something into her pocket, looking around as to make sure no one was around. I wondered what on earth she was doing and wanted to confront her, but thought that, that might be a bad idea. That's when I heard her mumble somthing.

"This mission is sure going to be harder then I thought." My eyes narrowed into slits. What the hell could she mean by that? What mission? I'm pretty sure my father didn't give her any mission! So what was she talking about?

Only one thought came through my head...

'Naraku'













AN: Blah Blah Blah....uh-heheh I feel as though this chapter was just a filler with fluff in it, to amuse you readers...^_^; Some things were reavled and somethings weren't. The big question I know has to be going through your head is... "Is Kikyo working for Naraku?" And well the answer to that is... "Hmm dunno, you'll have to keep reading to find out." Now I don't want you guys to think that from here on things will be peachy, or that now that Inu and Kag are together everything going to be alright...aw crap I think I'm giving away to much..lol. Okay I will shut up now and let you review!

What are waiting for go review!!
