Love Undercover

Chapter: The Ex-Husband

Summary: Things couldn't get worse when Kagome’s boyfriend breaks up with her on her 21st birthday, ruining her love life. To top it off, her ex husband moves back into town with another girl. However...it wouldn’t hurt to join him in a little mystery case right?

Author’s note: Hey everyone! I know, you’ll probably kill me since I have so many unfinished stories. But, I wanted to write something new and innovated. And so, instead of Sesshoumaru and Kagome this time, its Inuyasha and Kagome. Also, it’s a mystery fic! So, please bare with me, I promise it’ll get better!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Reality bites you in the ass when you least expect it. For me it was on Valentines Day, which turned out to be my 21st birthday and is happening right about now. Ken, my long time boyfriend for about a year and a half is currently breaking up with me for some French floozy. Well at least, that’s what I heard; I was too busy trying to not think of ways to smite him. We did everything on the couple to do list together, go shopping, picnic in the park, you name it. Except that wasn’t good enough for him, he wanted to spice things up. He wanted sex.

“Kagome?” He asked. I felt his chocolate eyes looking at me. Out of all the places he chose to break up with me in, he chose my favorite restaurant, Romantique. The aroma of Italian style food pervaded throughout the air, and there was my food, which was all stabbed into pieces. How I wish that was him. The lush red velvet carpet beneath us won’t be as smooth anymore after I’m done with it. Well, at least in my spot. Restraining from stepping on him with my three inch heels, I took out my anger on the carpet instead.

“I’m listening.” I smiled, plastering a sweet smile on my face.

“You know this is happening because of you…” He said, turning away from me and staring at the dimly lit candle. Wait, what? Me? He just did not play the blame game.

“Okay, I’m sick and tired of this. You’re blaming ME? You cheated on me with that French hoochy and it’s MY FAULT?” I tried to keep my voice down, no luck.

“I saw the photo’s of you and some other guy on your Facebook.” Ken said, his voice growing deeper.

“You’re breaking up with me because of Facebook.” Life couldn’t get any better than this. “Or, are you breaking up with me because I didn’t have sex with you for the past year and a half?”

“I saw the pictures of you with some other guy on the beach just last week. And Kagome, you know I didn’t have a problem with the whole sexual intercourse business.”

Suddenly, I thought I was hallucinating. One side of me wanted to beg him to take me back, the other side told me to walk out. Too bad the softer side left the building when he mentioned the pictures on Facebook. “Look you raging hormone moron, I don’t even need you anymore. Ken, I’m not going to let you decide what happens in this relationship anymore. And, the first thing I’m changing is YOU.” I shouted getting up, grasping for my purse behind my chair. “By the way smartass, that guy was my brother Souta.” I hissed, storming out of the restaurant. I don’t even know what pictures were posted on Facebook.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“Ka-go-me.” I heard my name being called from my bedroom door. I recognized that voice from a mile away; it was my best friend Sango who has always been there for me ever since we were children. It was 1AM in the morning, and being how such a wonderful day today was, I couldn’t sleep. After storming out of the restaurant at around 11PM, I figured I might as well enjoy the single life and have a drink or too at the bar. Except, that didn’t turn out well.

“Go away, I’m having a headache.” I moaned, rubbing my temples with the tip of my index finger. Suddenly, I felt as if a million paparazzis chased me down and started photographing me in my bedroom. “Turn off the lights!” I shouted.

“I know what you need hun.” Sango smiled her quirky smile. “Let’s go check out the singletons online.”

“Oh no. I just got out of a relationship, there is no way in hell I’m getting myself into another one.” I groaned once more. But too late, Sango was halfway across my room and pressed the circular ON button on my laptop.” I wish I never given her the keys to my studio apartment.

“Oh come on! Kagome, this is your 21st birthday and it’s Valentines daaaay!” Sango sung in a sing song voice.

“Don’t even remind me. Aren’t you supposed to be with Miroku?” I tried to get her out of my place as soon as possible. Suddenly, little icons popped up on my computer screen.

“It’s done loading! And, Miroku is sleeping at 1AM silly. He flew in and took me out on a date, then had to fly back out to Tokyo.” Sango sighed, sitting on my computer rolly chair. I almost forgot, Miroku doesn’t live with us anymore. Sango could only see him about once a month ever since he took that job as an assistant or something. But, it has only been two months since he left. I knew Sango hadn’t been the same.

“Want some coffee?” I gestured, I figured since we’re staying up all night mocking models and going gaa-gaa over guys; we probably need loads of caffeine.

“Yes, please.” Sango smiled, clicking on the little icon with a blue E. A window then popped up as she started typing on the URL line.

Getting up with only shorts and a T-shirt on, I dragged myself to the kitchen. My apartment wouldn’t be considered as small, but it is a studio apartment. The walls are painted a light creamy green, and had simple white floral designs on it. White curtains dangled loosely on top of my window as the wind blew it black and forth. Arriving at the kitchen, I turned on the coffee maker and got out my favorite coffee grinds. After pouring it in and adding water, the smell of coffee filled the air.

“Ohh! This is interesting…” I heard Sango gasp with excitement.

“What is it?” I asked, curious.

“Inuyasha is going out with some other girl. Look it’s on the news!” I could care less about him. He and I go way back, but it was old business. I continued to wait until the glass coffee pot was filled up then pressed off. Opening four Splenda packets, I put two in each and poured the coffee in along with the half and half. Carrying it into my room I saw Sango intrigued by the news. “Look!” She pointed with her index finger. And on the screen, there was the man whom I divorced two years ago with some foreign girl by his side.

“She doesn’t look Japanese…” I mumbled to myself. Sango wasn’t paying attention to me; she was too busy reading the headlines and the news article.

“She’s from Paris. You know in France?” My blood started boiling. First it was the French Floozy Ken dumped me with, and now my ex-husband is with some French girl too. Not that I care.

“Yes I know.” I cracked a smile, pretending not to care. I slowly sipped my coffee as I read the headlines: Inuyasha getting engaged?! I almost spat out my coffee. It was only two years since we were divorced, and he goes on and gets engaged to some other girl.

“Wow, I can’t believe this.” Sango sighed, still looking at the screen. “Do you still like him Kagome?” She smirked, sipping her coffee.

“What?! No!” I turned my head ninety degrees. Sure, he was a great guy and all; but after what he did to me, he nothing more than some rich snobby guy who’s always in the newspaper headlines.

“Alright then, well I’m going to bed! Night!” Sango smiled, putting her coffee cup on the table and flopped onto my bed.

“Wait!” I exclaimed, but no luck. She has already taken my bed. “Ah, fine you win. I’ll take the couch.” I grabbed my pillow from under her head and headed towards the living room.

“Hey!” Sango gaped.

“Well you got the bed.” I stuck my tongue out, walking out at the same time. It was now 2AM.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“Wakey wakey!” Sango’s voice rang in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge table leg staring at me. My back ached and my butt was sore. “Silly, you toppled over when you were sleeping!” Sango laughed, helping me up to my feet. I glanced at my wall clock, it was about 7AM and it was a Monday. I forgot I had to go to work in about an hour. Rapidly getting up, I ran into the bathroom without getting a change of clothes.

“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?!” My voice muffled through the door. I heard a light laugh from my best friend.

“Kagome, I woke you up at 6:30 but you told me to leave you alone!”

Fifteen minutes later as I got out of the shower with only a towel on, I had 45 minutes to eat my breakfast and drive to work. “Okay well sorry, it wasn’t me who barged into my best friend’s house in the middle of the night.” Changing quickly, I threw a blue top on with a pair of jeans.

Sango flashed me a smile. “You know I love you. And I’ll drive you, don’t you have to pick up Ayame?”

I nodded, stuffing a muffin in my mouth. “Come on!” I shouted. “Oh wait, do you have a change of clothing?” I asked, almost forgetting she just plopped herself on my bed yesterday without bringing any extra clothes.

“Oh its okay hun, I grabbed something from your closet earlier.” Sango smiled. “Now lets go!” As we walked down my apartment and out of the door, we smiled at the doorman. Suddenly, we were staring a new Mercedes Benz.

“Sango, didn’t you learn the lesson about stealing when grandma caught you taking candy from me?” I asked, gaping at the new car.

“Oh pish-posh Kagome. Miroku bought this for me!” Sango giggled, I suddenly caught myself staring at my own car. My lovely Toyota Camry, which I had for about a good five years now.

“He takes a job in Tokyo and now he’s a millionaire.” I groaned. It seemed as if the world was all prospering except me.

“Well he does work for your ex-husband.” Sango reminded me as we got into the car. The smell of new leather entered my nose. I cringed, opening the window as fast as I can.

Rolling my eyes, I quickly got out my phone and dialed Ayame’s number, we were almost at her house. After two dial tones, I heard Ayame’s high pitched voice. “Hello?” I spoke into the speaker. “Ayame! Hey, we’re almost there at your house, so be out by 7:45. Bye now!”

Pulling up in front of Ayame’s house, I noticed how big her house was. There was a front yard, a back yard, and a grill on the side. “Why is she working for me if she has such a huge house?” I asked Sango, who was also looking out my window.

“Because we all love you Kagome. After that harsh breakup with Inuyasha, we thought it might be better if we moved closer to you.” Sango smiled as Ayame opened the door.

“Ditto that!” Ayame chimed in.

“Thanks guys.” I smiled, reassuring myself that I don’t need guys to live.

As the car sped up, 15 minutes later we arrived at a small café with a pink and white awning. The glass window was sleek and translucent. From the outside, you can see the revolving disks which had a cake on each layer. Outside of the café stood two small round tables, with four chairs surrounding each table. In the middle of the table, there was an umbrella which blocked the sunlight out. But something was strange; there were more people than usual. The costumer line was huge. When we walked in, we saw Rin already there.

“Hey everyone.” Rin greeted us with her happy and carefree nature.

“Why are there so much people here?” I asked, the café was never this busy. Only on special occasions such as Christmas, where everyone buys cakes and cookies. The line went out down the block.

“We heard that someone special is coming to the café today!” one of the girls from the line giggled, looking at me. She looked about my age, or younger.

“Who is it?” I asked her, putting my apron on and going to the cashier counter.

“Geneviève!” Suddenly, everyone squealed as the name was shouted. There were massive amounts of teenagers ranging from girls to boys on the line. Well, whoever it was I had to thank her. She was bringing my little café a huge business. As the day went on more and more people came in. I felt as if the line will never stop. We had to rush the bakers to come up with more cheesecakes and pies. It was about in the afternoon when I heard a huge scream from the line.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“Its Geneviève!” Girls started screaming as I ripped the receipt my cash register spat out and gave it to the girl in front of me. As I looked up to see what all the hype was about, suddenly I was in awe. The girl had wavy chocolate brown hair, sky blue eyes and had the body of a model. And then I looked at myself. I was wearing an apron with the café name Amour plastered on it and I had no time to do my hair today.

“You must be Kagome!” She gripped my hands with her French accent.

“Um, yes. How can I help you?” I smiled, I had to thank her for her bringing such great business to my little café.

“Can you make my wedding cake?” She exclaimed. “I heard that you’re the best cake designer around here.”

“Aww, where did you hear that from?” I asked, being praised by a supermodel isn’t what I get everyday.

“My agent. Now please, I want a beautiful cake with a lot of fleurs and it has to be roses.” She stated, showing off her wedding ring. It had a sparking diamond with a gold band holding it. The band had little engravings on it, I couldn’t make it out since I was too busy writing.

“Mhmm..” I nodded, continuing to scribble down notes.

“And on top I would like you to carve a little statue of me and my husband!” She giggled as she clapped her hands together.

“Well, how does your husband look like?” I asked.

“You don’t know?” She gasped, looking at me like I had grew a pair of horns.

“Well, not exactly..” I looked at my friends. They were all sweat dropping. Am I the only one who doesn’t know what's going on around here?

Suddenly, I just grew a tail according to her. “We’re all over the news!” Talk about narcissism.

“Well maybe if you gave me a picture..” I inquired. She quickly dug into her Chanel bag and popped open her wallet. Then as she put the picture on the table there was Inuyasha and her, together at the park having a picnic.

“This is my husband.” She smirked, looking at me. “And if you mess up our cake, I will tell the press that your little café is trash.” She stated, shoving me the picture of Inuyasha. So this was the French Floozy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It was 8 at night as I started cleaning up the café. After telling everyone to leave, I wanted some quiet time. I cleaned up the kitchen, and the exterior of the café. I didn’t know if I should be mad or happy. Rubbing my temples once again, sitting down with a cup of coffee I heard the café door chimes ring. “Sorry the café’s closed.” I plastered a smile on, getting up to see who it is.

“Hello there.” A suave voice greeted me. I recognized that voice from a mile away. As I looked up at the handsome stranger, there was my ex-husband standing right in front of me.

“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked.

“I came to see my cake maker.” He smirked at me. He was wearing a white button up shirt with a black tie. Matching it with dark black pants and designer dress shoes, it was defiantly Inuyasha. His hair was long and sleek white as always.

“I’m not making the cake for you.” I spat out. “Go ask someone else.” I crossed my arms, going back to my coffee.

“Oh come on, remember those days when you told me you’ll do anything for me? Well today is the day.” He smiled his killer smile with pearly white teeth. I now regret ever saying anything to him.

“Didn’t you say the same thing? With the lines ‘I’ll die for you if I have to’?” I retorted. “Well now is the time to die. What are you waiting for? I have a knife in the kitchen. Do you prefer long ones?”

Inuyasha smirked at me once more. God, I used to melt whenever he did that to me. “I have an engagement party today at 10PM.”

“I heard you die faster if you stab yourself in the chest.” There was no way I’m going to his engagement party.

“I invited everyone, Ayame and the girls are already getting their hair and make up done.” Inuyasha kept his smirk on his face. My mouth fell open, my friends all wanted to go to his lame engagement party.

“I’m not going.” I crossed my arms and looked away.

“If you don’t, I’m telling your grandfather that we broke up.” He is using the Grandpa card. I wanted to smite him now. We knew my grandpa was hospitalized, so we decided not to tell him anything about our breakup. For over the last two years, I visited him myself and told him that Inuyasha was too busy with work. And now, if Grandpa found out…he’ll be devastated.

“You’re an ass.” I cursed at him, walking out of the café.

“I’ll get someone to close down the café for you and if you stay too late, I’ll have professionals run it for you tomorrow.”

“No. I’ll get up on time and I’m leaving right after anyway.” I mumbled. As I got out, there was a huge limo staring at me. “What’s this?” I asked him.

“You’ll be getting your hair and make up done, as well as getting your dress and all that girly stuff.” Inuyasha chuckled, getting into the backseat with me.

“Its okay, I’ll take my Toyota.” I reassured him, getting out of the limo.

“Why do you even keep that old thing?” He asked.

“Shut up.” I gave him a cold glare.

He then took out his phone and flipped it open. “Do you want me to call the hospital now or later?”

I got in the limo quietly.

End of Kagome’s POV

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It was 11 o’ clock as Kagome’s limo pulled up to the Grand Ball Plaza. Outside, there was a huge crowd surrounded by the paparazzi. Outside the door, there were two doormen who opened the door for Kagome when she walked in. Upon entering the building, she fell in shock there stood a huge water fountain made out of black marble pumping out water. The caramel marble floors added a chic look to the place. As she was gestured into the grand ball room, she looked at the couple standing on stage making their announcements. Everyone was dressed either in a tuxedo or an elegant dress. On the back table, there were drinks and elegant round tables. Kagome suddenly saw her friends waving at her to come sit at their table.

“Kagome, you’re late!” Sango whispered, clapping with everyone else.

“Sorry, I didn’t even want to come to this thing anyway.” Kagome sat down as a waiter dressed in black and white brought her the entrée.

“You’re an hour late honey!” Rin frowned, sipping her Apple Martini. Suddenly everyone clapped once again and the couple stepped off the stage. Half an hour later, it was time for everyone to get to know each other. For the business people, they were to expand their businesses. For the women, it was to gossip.

As Inuyasha approached Kagome, his eyes widened in the dimmed light. She wore a sleek black dress with a halter neck, which created a V shape on her neck. The dress hugged her body perfectly and her hair was pulled back into an up do. Her peep-toe black heels added length onto her legs. Diamonds shimmered on her neck and ears as she looked at Inuyasha.

“What do you want?” Kagome crossed her arms.

“You look beautiful.” Inuyasha stated smoothly.

“You are too, err.. I guess.” Kagome retorted back, not looking at Inuyasha.

“So I want you to meet my fiancé.” Inuyasha smirked as he gestured Geneviève to come over. As Geneviève walked over, she held Inuyasha’s hand.

“Salut bébé.” Geneviève purred as she hugged Inuyasha.

Kagome wanted to hurl. Even though that was her ex-husband, she hated Geneviève. “We’ve met before.” Kagome smiled her sweetest smile at her.

“Ah yes, at that shop? No?”

“Amour” Kagome snapped. ‘You wanted me to make your cake you floozy.”

“Oui! Oui!” Geneviève smiled, now caressing Inuyasha.

“Can you please get her out of my site?” Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.

“Sorry, no can do.” Inuyasha smirked.

Music filled the room as people traded business cards and got to know one another. Martini’s and wine were consumed and delectable dishes were eaten as well. It was almost midnight as Inuyasha and Geneviève were about to announce their wedding date. As the two stood in the middle of the dance floor with champagne in each other their hands, Inuyasha noticed Kagome was right next to him.

“And now I want to announce that my lovely Geneviève and I…” Inuyasha opened his mouth.

BANG!

Suddenly, a loud gunshot was heard. Geneviève screamed as she dove for cover, searching for Inuyasha. Everyone was screaming and running for cover. The room was a complete mess, tables were turned over, drinks were spilled and camera’s started flashing. Kagome cried as she heard the familiar shot. That was how her parents died, they were shot. As she crouched down and looked up, there was someone hugging her under the table. Kagome couldn’t see who it was but, but his scent was familiar. When she looked up, there was Inuyasha’s gold eyes looking at her with his arms wrapped around her.

Author’s note: Long chapter, I know. Please review, reviews gives me the motivation to write. Knowing that you guys like the story makes me happy as well. And, I apologize for Kagome’s POV if it was flawed. It’s my first time writing a POV.
