"Hey," a man in his early thirties called to his best friend Higurashi who was in his late twenties. They were drinking beer outside the Higurashi's mansion as they watched two young boys play wrestling while their wives watch over them.

"Hey what?" Higurashi asked his friend Takahashi. They were sitting on a garden bench while he was humming to his sleeping two weeks old daughter Kagome. Her rosy cheeks glowed at the moonlight as she yawned cutely.

"I was thinking, why don't we have an agreement? I mean, when the time comes that my sons and your daughter grow up, they'll surely have to get married too. And in time like this, we won't be sure if the one they'll marry will marry them because of love and not their money…."

"You mean an arrange marriage?"

"Yeah…."

"Goodness Takahashi," Higurashi chuckled. "My Kagome is just a few weeks old and we're already talking about marriage?" He chuckled again while playing little Kagome's fingers. She was now awake and her pool of gray eyes twinkled in the dark.

"But since you mentioned that, yeah……… I think that may work. Aside from making them avoid users, our family will be combined as one too."

Takahashi smiled at Higurashi's last comment.

"So, which one of my sons you like her to end up with?"

"Hey, don't sound like we've been discussing business here," Higurashi chuckled. Takahashi just drank half of the content of his bottle.

"Well, not that I'm against your Sesshoumaru, but I have fond of your younger one Inu there…………."he smiled as they watched two and a half years old Inu jumped to six years old Sesshoumaru from his back and knocked him down. Sesshoumaru easily got up and pinned a very hyper Inu on the ground effortlessly but wanting revenge definitely.

"Then Inu it is." Takahashi smiled. They both held up their bottles of beer and cheered.

"To Inu and Kagome's future."

>>>--------------->~*~*~*~ oOo ~*~*~*~<---------------<<<

"Gaaaaaaaahhhhh I HATE HIM!!!" nine years old Kagome Higurashi shouted as she stormed inside their mansion. She flopped down, not too graciously on their couch at the living room.

"Why honey? What's wrong?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she sat at the end of the couch, removing her mittens and apron because she was baking at that moment, and combed Kagome's raven hair with her fingers.

Kagome had grown in such a beautiful young girl. Her gray eyes sparkled even more and it was brought out more by her long, v-shaped midnight hair. Her pale white skin with a rosy glow made her even prettier than she was.

She sat up abruptly as she looked at her mother.

"He did it again, ma! He humiliated me again in front of everybody!!!" She yelled while clenching her fists and pondering the white throw pillow like it was that person who made her angry. Poor pillow……..

Her mother just smiled like her daughter's out burst is just a normal happening. Well actually, it does. Every Monday afternoon, when her daughter arrives from school, it always happens. And it was usually worst at that day unlike the other days of the week. That's why Kagome hated Monday.

"What did he do this time?" Kagome's mother asked. Actually she doesn't need to know. She just loves to hear her daughter's stories. It reminds her of her young life with her crush, which she pretended to hate at that time too. And she was sure Kagome might end up like her because as of now, that boy she had a crush with was Kagome's and baby Souta's father. In short, it was her husband.

Kagome started her usual Monday routine. Blabber.

Friday. Eleven years old Inu Yasha much more known as Inu Takahashi was yet again sulking while walking down the hallway of their school for who knows what reason.

"Yow Inu! What's with the mood today?" His twelve years old best friend Miroku asked while tapping him on his shoulders.

"What's what?" Inu asked. He was still sulking and he didn't heard what Miroku just said.

"Geezze, don't tell me you're sulking because it's Friday!" Miroku commented throwing his arms on his sides while rolling his eyes.

"Weekends suck." Inu simply said while changing his shoes at the shoe locker.

"You're the only person I know who don't like weekends. Why? Because there's no Kagome to be teased at home, ne?" Miroku snickered.

Inu glared at him while slamming his locker's door closed.

Saturday. Inu was in his room playing his latest video game when he sighed deeply and pushed the button `OFF' then lied on his back and shifted comfortably on his plushie white carpet. He closed his eyes, not bothering to turn off the TV. He opened his eyes and tilted his head as he stared at his closed door. On his door was a picture of Kagome smiling with tiny wholes due to him because he put it up there as a dartboard.

"Now that's more I like it." He said to no one in particular as he stood up smirking and grabbed some darts in his drawer.

Sunday. Inu sighed but he was a little more cheerful today. Miroku called and told him they were going to their Subdivision's garden to catch some creepy insects. There were no creepy insects in their garden that's why they needed to go in other gardens. But then he was excited at the thought of creepy things. Kagome hated creepy things. He usually spends his Sundays, thinking for the best prank to play at Kagome. That's why Mondays were the best days in his life.

Monday. Inu was eating his breakfast as quickly as he can. At his side, on the table was a small box with tiny holes.

"Inu darling, careful with your food." His mother reminded him as she poured some orange juice in his glass.

"Yeah son. It's still early. You're not gonna be late for class." His father said while drinking his coffee and reading his morning paper.

"Yeah honey. And even if you're late, your school won't run away. It will be still there." Her mother chuckled while sitting next to him.

"Sakura, he's not afraid about being late or about the school running away. He's just excited." Fifteen years old Sesshoumaru told to his step mother. Three years after his real mother died, his father Takahashi married Inu's mother. At first he hated her, but after a few more years, he got fond of her, but still, he doesn't like calling her `mom' or `ma' even `aunt'. Sakura didn't mind it though.

"Excited? About what?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura, your son already has a girlfriend." Sesshoumaru told her. Takahashi chuckled while Sakura stared at him in surprise. Inu accidentally swallowed his sausage with out chewing it, so he coughed and coughed and coughed.

"Or should I say `girlfriendS'" Sesshoumaru said mockingly as he continued, "I thought you liked that Kikyou girl? You told me that three months ago. But since Dad's best friend's daughter transferred, you're not spending much time with Kikyou anymore. Two timer."

"I am not excited! I don't have any girlfriend! I don't like Kagome! And I am NOT a two timer! Ma, don't listen to him!" Inu shouted after he drank his glass of juice straight.

"Well…….. I'm not going to be angry at you if you have a girlfriend hon……… but being a two timer is-

"Ma!" Inu shouted.

At school. Second floor corridor…………

"Hey Kagome!" Inu shouted, running to catch up on her. Kagome looked behind her and when she saw it was Inuyasha, she continued her pace like she didn't saw Inu.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me?"

"I don't have time for your silly jokes."

Inu chuckled. "No. I won't do anything to you. I came for peace."

"Peace your face! I won't fall for that one! Hmph!" Kagome snarled while she took a corner that leads to another hallway.

"No really. And as a peace offering, I'll introduce you to my friends, including your crush Sesshoumaru. You know, my half brother in high school ?" Inu smiled. `Idiot. She definitely won't buy that!' he thought.

Kagome stopped abruptly and Inu almost knocked her down when he crashed on her back. She didn't mind it though. He almost wanted to curse her but decided against it cos it will ruin his plan.

Kagome spun around and looked straight into his violet eyes. He blushed at their sudden closeness.

"You mean it? You really mean it?" Kagome asked with a hopeful look in her eyes.

`What? She fell for it? HAH! Whaaaaat an idiot!!!!'

"Well ummmm…….. yeah. So what do you say? How about this lunch break?" Inu smiled innocently.

She beamed and smiled cheerfully. It's not just a smile, it was a genuine one. He didn't know what came to him but he suddenly wished he could always make that smile appear on her face.

"Great! Lunch break it is! Wait me at the cafeteria!"

As she run to her room, she was still waving at him while flashing a toothy smile while calling back at him, "You promised that huh?!!! Don't break it!"

He was left on the hallway, staring at her room's door as she disappeared.

"Keh! Why would I feel guilty! It's not my fault she easily trusts people. That's stupid!" He mumbled to no one in particular as he tightened his grip on the box with small holes.
