Chapter seven: Thing's she won't Say
Kagome sat looking up at the lights of the Eiffel tower. She knew they would come looking for her but she just wanted time alone to think. She played the kiss with Inuyasha through her head. Why did she feel guilty about it? She liked him so it didn't seem like that big of a deal. But then her mind drifted to Miroku.
What was she doing with him? She knew what they had was just fantasy. He called her Sango during their act of heated passion. She played it off as if she didn't hear him. Why didn't he just go for her if he liked her? Why play with her heart when he could have the girl he actually liked. She didn't understand it.
She looked at all the passing couples and smiled at them. They seemed so happy as if nothing in the world could destroy them. But surely there was something, there had to be something. She looked at them again, she pictured Inuyasha and her standing there kissing under the lights, just enjoying their life.
She blinked once then twice and looked at Inuyasha. She shook her head but he was still there and getting closer. She stood and when he got close enough she reached out her hand and touched him. She sighed and sat back down, "I was hoping my mind was just getting good at imagining things…"
He scoffed, "What the hell do you think you're doing? We have been looking around town for you for the past hour. Do you know how worried Sango and Miroku were?"
She looked up at him, "Why does it matter? They like each other. I'm just a bump in the road for them and you know it. You saw how Miroku looked at her today at the shoot. It's like I'm just some booty for him."
"So what?" Inuyasha asked. He sighed then sat down next to her. "It's not like you like him either."
She looked at him, "How do you know that?"
He looked at her, "Do you?"
She searched his face as if it would give her an answer then sighed, giving up. "I don't know who I like. I thought I liked him but he has feelings for Sango." She stood up and walked away from the bench. "I don't know why I'm here anymore. I thought this is what I wanted. To be like my parents." She hugged herself, "You guys got into this business to meet them. I feel like I'm expected to be them."
Inuyasha stood and placed his hand on her shoulder, "No one is expecting you to be them Kagome."
She moved from under his touch. "Lies! You didn't want me, you wanted my parents. I know you blame me for their death." Tears formed in her eyes but she willed them back. "Don't stand there and lie to me. I'm not a child."
He took a step towards her and she took a step back. "Yes I didn't want you; I thought you were just someone who thought they were the best because of who their parents were. But then," He grabbed her shoulders, "Then I met you. You changed all of that. Ya I was a total and complete dick when we met but that's the way I am."
She looked away from him. "Inuyasha, I can't do this. I thought I could but I can't. I'm leaving tomorrow, you can find some else to pose with Miroku." She removed his hands and walked towards the street and called a taxi.
Inuyasha watched her. She was leaving. Walked, rather riding in a taxi, right out of his life. And he let her. He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Sango, "If you see her don't let her leave." He said while getting his own taxi.
"What do you mean? Did you find her?" Sango asked.
"Yeah, but she's confused and wants out of the contract and wants to go back home. " Inuyasha held the phone away from his mouth and told the taxi to take him to the hotel.
"Why...what happened between you guys?" She asked.
"She's just confused Sango. Just if you see her, tie her down or something." Inuyasha waited for a response then hung up.
The taxi driver looked back at him, "Girl troubles?" he asked.
Inuyasha looked up at him, "Something like that."
When they got to the hotel Inuyasha paid the man and thanked him. He walked up to the door and spotted Sango and Miroku, "Did she come back?"
Sango looked at Miroku, "We haven't seen her Inuyasha."
"Damn it, where the hell did she go now?"
Kagome sat up in her bed. It had been four days since she left Inuyasha at the Eiffel tower. She surprised her family when she walked in through the door. She honestly surprised herself when she told the taxi driver to take her to her house. When she saw Kimmy though she broke down and started crying. Kimmy had then ushered the boys away and helped her to her room where she told her substitute mother everything.
Kimmy had been surprised at all that had happened. She held Kagome in her arms on her bed and rocked her gently back and forth, "Well sweetie it is your choice, but think about what you are doing before you throw it all away. Get some rest for now; we'll see what Smith says tomorrow."
That night Kagome had fallen asleep quickly. The next day Smith had come over and talked to her. He told her that Sango had called him and how worried she had been. Kagome looked out the window while listening to him. She watched the boys working in the yard.
"Kagome, why did you leave?" He asked her.
She looked at him and then back out the window, "I don't know."
He sighed, "I highly doubt that. I know this wasn't the location you wanted but you can't just up and walk out. Do you know how much money was used for that and how this will look on you?"
"I don't care." Kagome said and looked at him, "I don't want to be a model anymore."
Smith's eyes widened. He stood and patted her shoulder. "I'll let you rest. We'll talk more about it later."
Kagome had run that conversation through her heard for the last few days. She got out of bed and went down to the kitchen. Everyone was down there, they looked at her and Roi was the first to say good morning. She had missed that, being greeted by her family.
Tama looked at her, "You got something in the mail." He handed her a somewhat padded envelope.
She opened it and pulled out a magazine and a letter. On the magazine cover she was staring back at herself. It was one of her and Miroku that Inuyasha had taken. In bold letters it said, 'Takashi Photography at it again with amazing photographs!' She looked at the letter and unfolded it.
Dear Kagome,
I was unable to finish the photo shoot due to you leaving, but the magazine understood. You are still young, you shouldn't have to be forced to do things you don't want to. I'm sorry things turned out the way they did. After you left Miroku and Sango told me that they were going to start dating. Miroku feels bad for what happened between you two and wishes to apologize to you. We won't force you to meet with us but we would like to.
Honestly I'd like to finish the photo shoot. So when you feel up to it just have Smith call Sango. We will always wait for you. Kagome…
Respectfully,
Inuyasha Takashi
Kagome put the letter in the magazine and took it up to her room after making herself a cup of coffee. What would she do now? Modeling was her life. She sipped at her coffee. "Focus on school." She told herself. She smiled, that's what she wanted the most. She shook her head and looked at the magazine. She picked it up and flipped through it.
The pictures Inuyasha had taken were amazing. Just simple amazing. She hit her head with it. Why did she just up and leave. Why didn't she tell Inuyasha what she had been thinking, things would have been easier.
She looked at an envelope on her desk. Smith had left it the other day. Another job no doubt. She opened it. It was local; a swimsuit company wanted her to do some shots with some other people. She thought about it. "Modeling hm?"
Serin knocked on her door and she looked back at him, "What do you think I should do Serin?"
He walked over to her desk and took the magazine up and looked through it. "Do you like it?" he asked.
She watched as he sat on her window seat and looked at the pictures.
"I love it."
"Then why did you leave?"
She looked at his face, "Because I'm scared."
One of his eyebrows rose, "Of what?"
"Falling in love."
The two just looked at each other for a few minutes. He coughed then stood, "This Inuyasha doesn't seem like a bad person. Mom doesn't tell you but he's been calling the past couple of days to see how you are." He handed her the magazine, "Maybe it's time to face your fears?"
She took it and smiled, "Do you think he would take me back?"
Serin stretched, "Ask him yourself." He handed her a piece of paper. "His number. I copied it for such an event." He patted her head, "Call him or I will put gun in your hair."
She laughed and picked up her cell phone. She watched him leave and close the door. She dialed his number, her heat beating harder and louder with each number. She held it up to her ear and waited.
"Inuyasha speaking." He answered.
She froze. "Hello?" he said.
"I…want to finish the photo shoot." She said.
"Kagome?" it sounded like he had just dropped something.
"Yes, I was childish the other day. I was scared and didn't know what to do. Inuyasha, please take me back and let me finish the photo shoot." She said looked at the magazine.
"I'll have Sango send a taxi to get you. I knew you would call. I would have waited forever if I had to." He said. She could tell he was smiling.
"I'll pack then." She smiled. She was about to hang up when he started talking.
"When you get here we need to talk." He wasn't smiling anymore she could tell.
"Okay Inuyasha." She said and hung up. She smiled; she was a very stupid girl for leaving but was so happy that he was taking her back. She would tell him about the other job later. What did he want to talk to her about she wondered.
Let me know what you thought. Tootles^^
