Chapter 1: Our Last Night
 
It was graduation and the entire class was currently baking outside the high school grounds for the graduation ceremony. All 254 off the senior graduating class were currently melting under the layers of their robes and wished for the ceremony to be over. They wondered for the umpteenth time that day why the ceremony wasn't simply held in the school auditorium. Who cared about school tradition when you're just asking to have skin cancer out here in the sun?
 
“Takahashi, Inuyasha,” The principal announced.
 
Inuyasha smirked and walked up to the platform with a swagger in his step. Girls swooned at the sight and his girlfriend, Kagome simply rolled her eyes. His antics were typical and all too predictable for her.
 
As the principal handed him his diploma, Inuyasha suddenly gave her a bear hug and planted a kiss on her cheek. He held out his diploma high, waving it in the air and cheered. The other guys on the soccer team cheered for him. He was their captain after all.
 
“When I almost believe him to be incapable of making a fool of himself, he proves me wrong and serves to further mar the family name,” a cold baritone voice said next to Kagome.
 
The young woman turned around and smiled at Sesshoumaru, “Be nice, nii-chan, it's graduation and he's entitled to have some fun…” she turned her gaze to Inuyasha to find him blowing a kiss to her, making her sweatdrop. “Er…” She waved at him timidly as the other students laughed at the couple.
 
“You were saying?” There was a smirk on Sesshoumaru's lips.
 
“Oh be quiet, nii-chan.”
 
Inuyasha finally stopped his little show and walked back over to his seat next to Kagome. He wrapped an arm around her and pecked her on the cheek. “You know I love you, right?”
 
Kagome giggled and snuggled into his arm. “Definitely, you say it all too often.”
 
“Brother, you should refrain from your antics. It simply confirms our beliefs of your stupidity.”
 
Izayoi lightly smacked Sesshoumaru on his shoulder. “Now Sesshoumaru let's just all be nice for today. We don't want to ruin the mood.”
 
Kagome shrugged out of Inuyasha's shoulders.
 
“What's wrong, babe?”
 
“Ugh, it's just too hot Inuyasha, keep your hands to yourself. I'm sweaty enough as is.”
 
“I like it when you're sweaty,” An evil glint appeared in his eye, “Especially when it makes your skin all shiny, it just makes me want to lick—Oww!”
 
Kagome elbowed him roughly in the ribs, “Not with everyone else around!” She hissed heatedly under her breath.
 
“Aww come on, you didn't have to hit that hard.”
 
Izayoi coughed to interrupt anymore of the conversation. Honestly, she didn't have to know about her son's love life, even though she knew deep down that he's no longer a virgin. Beside her, Sesshoumaru continued watching the ceremony as if he heard nothing.
 
And thus, the afternoon continued, with the heat slowly melting the entire audience.
 
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000
 
“Inuyasha there you are!” A bald man made his way over to the group with his son Miroku following not too far behind.
 
“Mr. Houshi, hey.” The two groups met and exchanged greetings.
 
“Say, where's your father?”
 
“Keh, like I care where that old man is.”
 
“Inuyasha!” Izayoi admonished. “I'm sorry, but he's still upset over Inuyasha's career choice. He didn't like it when Inuyasha refused the family business.”
 
An understanding dawned on Mr. Houshi's face, “Oh I see… Eh, don't worry my boy, I'm sure with your looks girls will kill to see you in the big screen.”
 
As the two adults talked the teenagers stood a distance apart to have their own conversation.
 
“Hey, Miroku,” Kagome said to her cousin. “Where's Sango?”
 
“Ha! Sango went off to the bathroom to change, she was practically stuck to her robes.”
 
"You know what, Yash, I think I'm going to go change too. I'm wearing a dress under this and I don't want to ruin it before dinner," Kagome said, waqlking towards the direction of the bathroom.
 
"You sure you don't want me to help you undress, Kags?"
 
Kagome simply waved him off and Izayoi cleared her throat. "I prefer if you dont' say thinsg like that around me and anyone else for that matter," Izayoi said.
 
"Aww, mom, I was just trying to be helpful. And besides, it's not as if I haven't seen her naked before."
 
Izayoi sighed and covered her face with her hand.
 
Mr. Houshi laughed and patted Inuyasha on the back. "Yeah, with that kind of charm Inuyasha definitely has what it takes. Just you wait, Izayoi, soon your son will be famous and all the girls will be after him."
 
"Honestly, Ryujiro, I don't want anymore girls after my poor boy. Imagine all the jealous women plotting things for Kagome."
 
"It can't be that bad can it?"
 
Miroku laughed at his father's ignorance. "Dad, you don't know how scary the wrath of jealous women can be. Kagome's just lucky that everyone respects Inuyasha enough that they won't try something on her."
 
At that moment, Kagome and Sango emerged in their semiformal dresses, their robes on their arms. "Sorry we took so long," Sango said giving Miroku a chaste kiss, "there was a long line in the bathroom."
Izayoi said, "So are we all ready to go to the restaurant then?"
 
"Will the old man be there?"
 
"I don't know, Inuyasha. I urged him to come. Let's just hope he gets over all this."
 
"I'll take Kagome in my car. We'll just follow behind you guys." And with that Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist and headed off to the parking lot.
 
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000
 
Kagome enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing through her hair as Inuyasha's BMW convertible sped down the freeway. "So your father's still not coming around, ne?" She said with a tentative glance to her boyfriend of four years.
 
"Keh, as if I care. He can go just stay at home and fuck himself."
 
Kagome sighed. She saw how tightly he gripped the shift gear which showed that he was clearly bothered by the entire situation. Kagome reached out and placed her hand over his. Their eyes met and he gave her a soft smile.
 
"Listen, Kags, I was wondering... are you doing anything tonight?"
 
"No, I already finished packing. Why?"
 
"I was wondering if you could spend the night at my house."
 
"Oh..." Kagome blushed, knowing the implications of what they were going to do that night. "Of course, Inuyasha, I'll come."
 
Inuyasha turned to her and smirked. "I'll make it worth it, Kags."
 
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000
 
Later that night the entire family and Kagome arrived at the Takahashi mansion, satiated and ready for bed. As a servant welcomed them in Inuyasha saw his father standing in the entrance hall, as if he had been waiting there the entire time.
 
"Good evening, dear," Izayoi greeted her husband. Inutaisho gave her a quick peck on the cheek before turning to greet Kagome.
 
"Staying for tonight?"
 
Kagome blushed and nodded.
 
"And you, you're still set on being an actor?"
 
"Keh, got a problem with that?"
 
"No."
 
"Yeah, that's what I thou--wait, what?"
 
"I decided," Inutaisho said, placing his hand on his son's shoulder, "that I shouldn't try to control your life. If you don't want to work in the family business that's fine. I just hope that you're absolutely certain that you want to pursue this."
 
"I am."
 
"Very well. Good night then, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Kagome. Your mother and I will go to sleep now. Just remember not to make too much noise; our bedroom is right next to yours mind you."
 
When they were finally out of earshot and Sesshoumaru went up the stairs Kagome groaned. "Oh my God! I can't belive your father just said that!"
 
"Keh, seems like the old man has a sense of humor after all. Come on, Kags." He grabbed her and threw her petite body over his shoulder.
 
"Inuyasha, put me down!"
 
But he was already hopping up the stairs, easily skipping ten steps at a time. As they reached his room he kicked the door closed, making sure to lock it. He lightly tossed Kagome onto his bed and he followed not too far behind, pouncing on her and showering her with kisses.
 
"I-Inuyasha! S-stop!" Kagome laughed, trying to squirm away from him. But Inuyasha just pinned her down and proceeded to kiss her down the length of her neck. "It tickles!"
 
"Keh." He stopped and sat beside her. Kagome followed his example and looked at him.
 
"I just remembered, what am I supposed to wear? I didn't bring any clothes."
 
"You don't have to wear anything."
 
"Inuyasha!"
 
"Okay, okay! I'll give you one of my t-shirts." He walked over to his walk-in closet and pulled out an extra red shirt that said "Bite Me." He tossed it over to Kagome.
 
"Thank you." she picked up the shirt and went to the bathroom to change. Inuyasha followed her not too far behind. He tried to control himself when Kagome unzipped her dress, clad in nothing but a matching bra and panties.
 
Very, very lacy panties that were practically see-through.
 
"Inuyasha, are you okay?"
 
"Damn, bitch, you're hot. Do you know how much you turn me on?" Inuyasha walked over to her and pinned her to the wall, kissing her hard.
 
"Mou, Inuyasha, let go and let me change."
 
"Keh... are you sure you want to wear anything? I take it back, just wear what you have on right now and come join me in my bed."
 
"No," Kagome giggled, "Now be a good little puppy and maybe I'll give you a treat later." She shrugged on his shirt.
 
Inuyasha sighed. He missed the sight of those panties already. "Fine, bitch, but it better be good. Now come, I wanna talk about some stuff."
 
Kagome paused in brushing her hair. He seemed so serious all of a sudden. "About what?" She put the brush down and looked at him apprehensively. With that kind of tone she doubted she would enjoy this conversation much.
 
"The thing is... you're going to study abroad in Europe and I'm going to America for acting school."
 
"Yes..."
 
"It's going to be a long four years, Kags. What are we supposed to do?"
 
"Do about what?" She was starting to get scared now. Inuyasha hardly looked normal when he was this serious.
 
"Us, Kags. Long distance relationships don't work, you know that."
 
"But our relationship is special, Yash, we should be able to make it work. Why are we talking about this? This is ridiculous!"
 
"Maybe at first Kags. Maybe for the first year or so our relationship will survive. But what will we do after that?"
 
"What do you mean?"
 
"Kags, believe me, a long distance relationship won't work. Just look at Sesshoumaru and Kagura. They quickly decided to let go of each other after the first year."
 
"Well maybe their bond wasn't strong enough."
 
"It sure was strong enough if Sesshoumaru almost marked her. Just think about it, Kags. At first it'll be nice talking to each other on the phone. After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder. But after awhile you'll establish your own life in Italy and I'll live my own in NYC. At that point, talking to each other on the phone will turn out to become more of an obligation, rather than an actual relationship."
 
"So what are you saying?!"
 
"Maybe it's time to let each other go Kags." Inuyasha bowed his head down. He refused to let Kagome see the tears in his eyes.
 
"I don't understand you Inuyasha, why are you pushing me away? This is the time when we have to keep our relationship strong! And... I love you. You know that, you idiot!"
 
"I know, and I love you too Kags." He looked up at her and wiped the tears from her cheeks with the pad of his thumb. "Dammit, I love you so fucking much that it hurts."
 
"Then why should we do this? Let's just try to stay together."
 
"It won't work out, Kags. Believe me. It's better to let each other go now while things are still easy on us."
 
Kagome grasped his arms and cried. She didn't ever want to let go. Ever. "You'll be the only one for me, Inuyasha."
 
Inuyasha hugged her back. "I know. And you'll be the only woman for me. Any woman is second best to you. Just stay strong Kags. Who knows? Maybe we'll see each other again in the future."
 
"And we'll pick up where we left off?" There was a spark of hope in her eyes.
 
"Yes, we'll pick up right where we left off."
 
"Okay." She smiled and snuggled deeper into his arms.
 
"Now, come on. I want to make our last night memorable." He picked her up bridal style and carried her to his bed. He furiously took of his shirt and unzipped his pants, letting it fall onto the floor. He began to trail hot kisses down her throat.
 
"Mmm... Yash." Kagome shrugged out his shirt and wrapped her arms around his back.
 
The hanyou made quick work of her bra and panties, tossing the shredded cloth on the floor. Kagome mentally groaned. There goes another set.
 
Inuyasha took off his boxers and pressed his body into Kagome, their two bodies fitting together snugly like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Placing a blanket over their naked body, Inuyasha reached over to the lamp beside his bed and shut off the lights, leaving the room in darkness.
 
Needless to say, Kagome hardly slept a wink that night and Inuyasha was one happy hanyou.

Well, here I am filling out prescriptions at my internship when my muse suddenly banged me on the head with this fanfic. After struggling to contain it for three hours, I couldn't help it anymore. I just had to find the nearest computer (in a hospital of all places) and type this down. So here you have it, another fanfic to add to my ever-growing list of incomplete fanfics. Don't worry, I know. I'm a very sucky, irresponsible author.
 
Please take the time to leave me a review and tell me what you think. I do my utmost best to come up with fairly original ideas so that I can prevent adding yet another fanfic to the pile of crappy clichés out there. For the first time, I will accept flames just for this chapter. God knows I deserve it, after leaving you guys in the dark for so long. Just remember to have a bit of mercy. I'm a senior in high school with a long life ahead of me and only one computer. I can't afford to have this computer burned by a flame. Otherwise, no more fanficcies for you.

Meanwhile, here's a preview of the next chapter... just because I'm cruel like this...
 
"So I guess... this is goodbye? .... I love you, Yash. Don't you ever forget me. I'll never forgive you if you don't. We'll see each other in four years, okay?"
 
"Well Kagome this is your big break. Just wear that hot dress and strut your stuff. The people love you, darling!"
 
"Oh my goodness Kagome look, look! This is an article about that hot Japanese American actor I've been telling you so much about. Just look at him, isn't he gorgeous?! Ugh, I love him so much! Whoever that woman is, she's lucky to have him."
 
Kagome gasped when she saw the headlines on the page. She hardly noticed it when the tears started pouring down her eyes, making her mascara run down her freshly blushed cheeks. There on the front page was a picture of Inuyasha. But it wasn't his naked chest that she was staring at. It was the words, written there in bold letters. For the first time, she wished she didn't understand English. Then maybe she wouldn't be so heartbroken. On top of his picture were the words, "INUYASHA TAKAHASHI, HOT FRESH ACTOR NOW MARRIED! DETAILS INSIDE ON THE SECRET WEDDING!" Kagome whimpered and threw the paper away. If he was going to forget about her, then fine. She can easily erase all her memories of him.
