IMPORTANT: I know this is different, and it’s supposed to be that way. For reference, the names you are seeing is how they are stored in each other’s address book:

If I say, “Mikyou”, that’s what Inuyasha has Kikyou has stored as in his contact list. So if it's:  “Mikyou [4:04]: Honey, where are you?” that means it’s Inuyasha looking at it.

“Hey, woman!” Inuyasha called as the door opened.

Kagome, in the midst of flitting between customers, looked up, eyes widening and color  fading from her cheeks at the sight of him.

“Hi, Taisho-sama.” Kagome swallowed.

“Kagome, we need to talk.” He smiled slyly. “You need to use some coral to tame your temper regarding my brother.”

“Not at work, Taisho-sama,” Kagome almost begged.

He grabbed her arm and took her into the back.

“Look, wench,” he said gruffly. “I told ya I screwed up last year, right? My brother was trying to do me a favor and got me a gift--without telling me--to try and save my ass cuz he thought I’d forgotten again. He’s not cheating with my wife!” Inuyasha snorted at the thought. “He’s the most honorable man I know.”

Inuyasha almost dropped his jaw as he registered what he said. “Wait wait,” he backpedaled. “Don’t tell him I said that.”

Kagome, who was faint from relief, chuckled. “I won’t...that is, I won’t if I ever see him again.”

He laughed at her. “Trust me, you’ll see him again.”

Peeking up at him, she said, “Really? I didn’t do too much damage? I did,” she cringed here, “call him a slimy bastard, but that was before I knew all my facts!”

“You’re fine.” He patted her on the shoulder and wandered out of the store, hands stuffed in his pockets.
