[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I do not own Inuyasha or anything related to it. Therefore, there's no need to sue me or any of that nonsense. Thank you!

Summary: Inuyasha is a business man with no desire to run the family business, known for his mean streak and sour attitude. Inuyasha becomes the object of many people's hatred. Kagome is a mother of two, doing everything she can to give her children a better life. But when Inuyasha suffers an accident and loses all memory of the last ten years, can Kagome show him what love is or will Inuyasha's past ruin a second chance he was given at life?

Miroku awoke the following morning to a slight nudge on his shoulder. His eyes cracked open and saw that Sesshomaru was standing above him in his scrubs. "Wake up, Miroku." He rubbed his eyes slowly, pushing himself up right in his chair. "Rin's on her way over. You need to get washed up and get over Shikon."

"Why can't Rin do that? I don't want to be there today." Miroku sighed, running his hand through his hair.

"You're the owner, Miroku. You HAVE to be there." Sesshomaru replied, glancing over Inuyasha's stats.

"Rin's the General Manager! Technically, she has to be there too." Miroku stood from his chair, and stretched his arms above his head.

"She'll be there later today, but for now, you need to get your ass over there." Sesshomaru stepped away from the equipment in Inuyasha's room and walked to the door, turning back to look at Miroku, "He's going to be fine, Miroku. If he wakes up, or takes a turn for the worse, I'll let you know. I promise." Miroku nodded at Sesshomaru in understanding, then turned to the sleeping Inuyasha.

"I'll be back soon. Get better." Miroku patted Inuyasha's hand, and received a shock when Inuyasha took hold of his hand. Miroku stared at Inuyasha, hoping that he would wake up, but his eyes only fluttered slightly.

"Mi-" Inuyasha lips parted as he took a breath, "Roku." After that, Inuyasha fell silent and released Miroku's hand. Miroku smiled at his friend, a small tear forming at the corner of his eye. He nodded at Inuyasha, and left the room. The hospital was rather quite, but the silence always made Miroku nervous. The cold air in the halls of the hospital blasted against Miroku's skin, causing him to shiver. As he stepped outside, he shielded his his against the bright sunlight, but it wasn't any warmer outside.

The drive to Shikon was slow, but Miroku had spaced out so he doesn't remember the trip. He exited his car and stumbled into the front doors of Shikon. Kusano was there to greet him. "Hello, Miroku, sir. How are you?"

He forced a smile upon his face, "I'm okay. Long night."

"Would you like me to get you coffee, sir?" Kusano asked, pouring a cup for herself. Miroku shook his head, "Sango's at the bar. She was looking for you."

At the mention of Sango's name, Miroku's spirits jumped to an all time high since last night. "Sango? I told her to take the day off. On second thought, I'll take that coffee, Ku." Miroku began to walk away, "Can you bring it to me at the bar?"

Kusano nodded, "Yes sir." Miroku walked through the Shikon dining area, through the hallway and into the bar. The restaurant was still empty since they didn't open for another hour. He quickly spotted Ruby behind the bar and walked over to her.

"Hey, where's Sango?" Miroku took a seat at the bar, "Is it too early for a shot?" Just as he asked the question, something hit the underside of the bar. A moment later, Sango emerged, rubbing the top of her head. "Well, good morning, Sango."

"Miroku? H-Hi." Sango stuttered as she continued to rub her head. She blushed furiously beneath the penetrating gaze of Miroku. "How are you doing today, sir?"

"Call me Miroku, Sango. There's no need for pleasantries." Miroku flashed her a boyish grin that made Sango's stomach fill with butterflies, and do flips.

"Yes sir. I mean, Miroku." Sango's cheeks were a bright pink. Ruby looked at Miroku and nodded.

"I'm going to go to the kitchen and help with the prep." Ruby said, before disappearing out of the room. Sango watched her go, and instantly became nervous as she realized she was alone with her gorgeous boss.

Miroku looked at Sango, taking in all her features. Her big, beautiful, brown eyes. Her gorgeous red lips, her long brown hair, her gorgeous slender neck, then his eyes fell to her chest, "What the hell are you wearing?"

Sango's face became almost as red as her rosy lips. She was wearing a red corset, trimmed with black lace. It squeezed her large breasts, almost pushing them completely out of the corset. "A corset?" She glanced back at Miroku, who was gawking at her, his lips slightly parted as he lost himself in her beauty. "Do you like it?"

"I-I-It looks lovely." Miroku took in a deep breath. He wanted to jump across the bar and take her into his arms, kiss her red lips until they were swollen, and love her until he collapsed. "Uh, Kusano said you were looking for me?"

Sango placed her hand on top of Miroku's and gave him a worried look, "I just wanted to know how you were doing."

Miroku nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine. Inuyasha is okay. He hasn't woke up but he's stable. His brother Sesshomaru works at the hospital he's at."

"If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me." Sango gave him a smile as she leaned forward, giving him a full view of her cleavage. She caught him steal a glance at her chest but said nothing.

Miroku blushed seven shades of red as he realized Sango caught him, "Th-Thank you, Sango. I should get to the kitchen." He kissed her hand quickly, sending a jolt through both their bodies. They took a quick look at each other, then Miroku staggered away bumping into tables, refusing to take his eyes off Sango's beautiful face.

Sango giggled at her boss as she watched him stumble into everything as he retreated shyly from the room. Dear lord, the handsomeness of that man is through the roof. She smiled to herself then blushed when she realized she was thinking of her boss in sexual ways.

Kagome held Sakura's hand as Shiro walked a few feet ahead of them through the park. It was an exceptionally beautiful day except for low temperature, which didn't bother Shiro or Sakura. When the two kids had learned they were going to the park, they got so excited. It had been years since their mother had a day off from work. Sakura was currently tugging on Kagome's hand towards an ice cream stand.

"I want ice cream, Momma." Sakura beamed up at Kagome, which made Kagome smile.

"How about I take you two to my new job and we can get dessert there?" Sakura instantly began nodding her head, then Kagome looked over at Shiro, who shrugged then nodded. "Well, let's go then!" Kagome smiled down at her two beautiful children, took both their hands and led them in the direction of Shikon No Tama.

Kagome sat in her apartment a few blocks from her art school. She was supposed to see Naraku today, but she hadn't received a call or text from him all day and that worried her. She decided to go to the school to see when her project was due. It was Friday afternoon which was when the school was usually buzzing with activity, but luckily, her instructor didn't have an afternoon class.

The halls of the school were jammed with people. Some of the art students were posting their projects in the display on the first floor of the school. Kagome walked in and stopped to admire some of the projects of the Art majors. As she was doing so, she saw Naraku out of the corner of her eye. He was standing there talking to one of the Culinary instructors. "Naraku?" She recognized the instructor as Chef Jean Pierre of her French cuisine class. "Naraku!" She called out, this time getting his attention. Naraku spotted her and excused himself from the conversation he was having with Pierre.

"What's up, Kagome?" Naraku asked nonchalantly, walking up to her.

"I came to see when my project was due. Why haven't you called me?" Kagome looked at him sadly, noticing that his lips looked bruised.

"I decided to take an extra course today. So, I ended up being rather busy. I'm sorry." Naraku said, avoiding Kagome's gaze.

Kagome eyed Naraku carefully. She could tell something was off about him, but she quite figure out what it was. "What extra course did you decide to take?"

The question caught Naraku off guard. 'She never questions what I do, so why is she doing it now?' He thought of something quickly, "I took an extra course in Italian cuisine with Instructor Ramone. She agreed to it rather easily."

"Well, okay." She leaned up and kissed his lips. "Are you still coming by tonight?"

Naraku nodded, "Of course. I just need to go home and get some things before I head over." He kissed her cheek softly, "I'll see you tonight okay? I got to get going." Naraku kissed her lips one more time then darted from the building. Kagome watched him leave, feeling as if something wasn't right, but she pushed the feeling from her mind.

Once outside, Naraku took out his phone as it rang. "Hey. Yeah, I'll be over shortly. I'll see you soon." He hung up with a wide grin on his face.

Sakura shook her mother's hand as they entered Shikon No Tama, "Mom, where do we sit?"

Kagome shook her head, trying to come back to reality, "Uh, hold on. We have to wait for Kusano to show up." On cue, Kusano walked up to them from the kitchen. "Hi, Ku!"

"Oh, Kagome! What're you doing here? I thought Miroku gave you the day off?"

Kagome giggled, "He did. I brought my kids to eat some dessert." Kagome smiled and Ku, who returned the gesture then led them to a table.

Kusano set down menus on the table, "I'll let Miroku know you're here, okay?" Kagome nodded and Kusano walked away. Kagome sat at the table chatting with Shiro and Sakura until Miroku walked up.

"Miss Kagome, how are you?" He asked with a broad smile plastered across his face, "Are these your kids?"

Kagome nodded, "Yup. This is Shiro." She gestured to her son, who waved at Miroku, "And this is Sakura." Then she gestured to her daughter, who gawked at Miroku with a large smile.

"They're gorgeous kids." He smiled at them, then turned his attention to Shiro and Sakura, "Anything you want is free." He whispered to them, glancing at Kagome with a smirk, "As much dessert as you want."

Kagome shook her head, "Miroku, you don't have to do that. I have plenty of money-"

Miroku raised two fingers to silence her, "None of my employees pay for anything when they're here. Without them, I wouldn't have a business, so I feel it's necessary to take care of them while they're here. As I said before, everything is free of charge." He smiled at Kagome, "Now, what can I get your lovely family?"

"A whole cheesecake!" Sakura announced gleefully.

"Twenty bowls of ice cream!" Shiro said excitedly, raising his hand for no apparent reason.

"Oh, calm down you two." Kagome giggled then turned to Miroku, "I guess three slices of strawberry cheesecake and three hot fudge sundaes."

Miroku nodded, "I'll get that out to you right away." Miroku smiled at the family once more then disappeared into the kitchen.

"Mommy, is that your boss?" Sakura asked turning to Kagome with bright eyes.

"Yes, baby. He is." Kagome replied, staring off at the kitchen doors. I wonder how long he was at the hospital last night? He looks awfully tired. Moments later, Miroku emerged holding the slices of cheesecake.

"Here we are." Miroku stated as he placed the plates down, "The sundaes will be done shortly. I'll have Kusano bring them to you. I need to go check on Sango."

Kagome raised a brow at him, "You NEED to check on her?"

Miroku blushed, "Uh, yes. Ruby went home early, so she's back there by herself." He scratched his head, averting his gaze. "It gets tough back there."

"Whatever you say, Miroku." She smirked at him, causing him to blush even more. He quickly darted away, leaving a giggling Kagome with her kids.

Rin sat beside the sleeping Inuyasha, clutching his left hand tightly. She had been in the exact same position for nearly five hours, refusing to leave Inuyasha's side. Sesshomaru had stopped by several times to check on his wife and brother, Miroku had called once to see if had changed, and Izayoi had called nearly every hour.

Currently, Inuyasha wore a slight smile on his face. He still hadn't spoken as far as Rin knew, but it was good to see a smile on his face. "Oh, Inuyasha. I wish you'd wake up already. I miss you." She squeezed his hand. Why do you always get hurt for being the good guy? Rin hated that Inuyasha always got the short end of the stick. Everytime something bad happened and Inuyasha stepped in to help, something always happens to him.

"Rin." Her head shot up and she looked at Inuyasha. Did I really hear him or did I imagine it? She watched him closely. "Rin." She squealed, seeing his lips move and saying her name. He knows I'm here! Rin squealed again. She wanted to throw herself onto him and hug him until he woke. She watched him again, hoping he would say something else, but he was quiet once more.

"Wake up soon, Inuyasha. We're all waiting for you." She kissed his hand, feeling it twitch beneath her lips. A knock sounded at the door, nearly causing Rin to jump out of her chair. She turned to face the door and saw Sesshomaru standing there, with a grin on his face. "Well, hey there, Doctor Takahashi."

"Hey, you." Sesshomaru entered the room and swiftly walked to her side, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Want to get some food? I have an hour for lunch."

Rin smiled up at her husband and nodded, "That sounds lovely." She took her husband's hand and stood from her chair. They left the room, their fingers tangled together and they both wore giant smiles. Everyone watched as the two strode through the hallways until they got outside. The couple walked across the street to a small cafe that Sesshomaru usually went to for lunch. The cafe was small and technically, owned by TGE, but Inuyasha just bailed out a family friend when he hit financial problems.

"Sesshomaru! How are you doing today, old friend?" An older man, maybe fifty-eight, with long, grey hair pulled into a short, high ponytail. A long patch of grey beard hair pointed straight down from his chin, and small, beady eyes sunk into his head.

"Good afternoon, Totosai." Sesshomaru led Rin to a small table near the edge of the cafe, "Business is good, I hope."

Totosai nodded, "Business is always good." He gave Sesshomaru a friendly smile, "I'm assuming you'll want the usual?"

Sesshomaru nodded, "Yes, two orders please."

Totosai nodded and disappeared into the small kitchen behind the counter. Rin looked over at Sesshomaru with a puzzled look, "What's the usual?"

"Roll of sushi and a coffee." Sesshomaru answered, taking a quick glance at his phone.

"That sounds disgusting." Rin said, with making a gagging noise.

"It takes some getting used to, baby. It's pretty good." Sesshomaru grinned at his wife. Chills went through her body everytime he grinned, smirked, smiled, or anything. Sesshomaru was the definition of perfect in her eyes, and she let him know daily how much he meant to her.

"Are you getting off early tonight?" Rin asked, watching Totosai as he brought out Sesshomaru's order.

"I believe so. Why?" Sesshomaru replied, before shoving his face full of sushi.

"I was thinking that we could do some stuff together." Rin averted her gaze as she blushed. Like rape you mercilessly or let you fuck me until I can't walk.

Sesshomaru swallowed his food and nodded, "We could do that. Maybe I can take you out for dinner and drinks." He smiled at her. She giggled at him in return. The rest of the hour went by smoothly then they returned to the hospital. As they were nearing Inuyasha's room, they heard talking coming from it. They entered the room. Sesshomaru grinned to himself, and Rin teared up. There sitting up in his bed was the golden eyed, silver-haired hero. He was staring outside of the window, his eyes shining against the sunlight that entered the room. He turned to face Rin and Sesshomaru with a grin.

Sesshomaru and Rin glanced at each other with a smile and thought at the same time, Inuyasha's awake.
