Forbidden Fruit
Chapter 1
Kagome Higurashi was the girl to be in her little section of the world. She was beautiful, intelligent, and came from a wealthy family. Her time was spent between attending classes at her very prestigious Catholic school, shopping, and just enjoying her time with friends. In all honesty she was the type of girl every guy wanted to date and every female wished they could be. For her sky was the limit while the limit was the sky for everyone else. The world was at her fingertips and she was determined to grab it and hold on for as long as she could.

~*~*~
It was early September 5th and instead of enjoying her last weekend before the start of her senior year of high school, Kagome was forced by her mother to tag along on a spa date so that they could beautify themselves for her father's business gala later that night. Jason Higurashi was the next big thing, what with him having somewhat of the monopoly on electronics’ industry after having bought out both Sony and Apple Industries, and tonight was the celebration of all of his accomplishments. While Kagome loved a good party as much as the next person she wasn't really looking forward to the night's festivities. It was a business party and since she wasn't in Corporate America yet she'd rather be out with her friends vacationing in the Hampton's or heading down to Splish Splash to ride some rollercoaster.

"I really don't understand what's the matter with you," Kimora Higurashi told her daughter while their got their hot oil massages.

"I just don't see why I have to come. I doubt there's going to be anyone else my age there so I'm either going to end up being hit on a man old enough to be my father or stuck at a table while father mingles and makes business deals," she replied with a pout.

"We don't ask you for much Kagome so one day out of your schedule isn't going to kill you," Kimora replied before moaning lightly as the masseuse worked a kink out of her lower back.

"Don't sit over there and act like I don't spend time with you and daddy. It's just that this is my last summer before school starts and I want to do something fun...something more exciting than a business event," Kagome replied.

"You'll get over it," Kimora replied shortly.

Kagome looked at her mother with an annoyed expression etched on her face before giving her masseuse the signal to stop and leaving the table, making sure that she clutched her towel over her naked body. She headed into a changing room and pulled back on her lime green lace bra and panty set before pulling on her long skirt, lime green C&C California tank top, and flip flops. After quickly fastening her watch back around her wrist she headed over to the section of the spa that catered to nails and proceeded to get a manicure and pedicure. Just as the nail technician finished putting the top coat over her nails her mother walked in with her bright yellow sun dress and Prada sandals.

Thankfully Kagome was saved from having to speak to her mother by the ringing of her cell phone. She grabbed it from her purse and smiled when she saw her little brother's picture flash on the screen. She flipped the screen of her Sidekick and answered it with a polite, what's up baby?

"What are you doing toady?" Souta asked me.

"Mommy has me in a spa almost all day and then we're going to pick our outfits up from the tailor's. I still can't believe she's making me go to this," Kagome replied.

"Better you than me," he replied with a laugh.

"How did you get out of this?" she asked him.

"I have football practice from five to eight. That doesn't give me much time to get back home, shower, get dressed, and then head all the way out to the Waldorf for the party," he replied.

"You're a lucky bastard," Kagome replied as the buzzer went off signaling that the ultraviolet lights had finished drying her nails. She pressed it again to make sure that it was thoroughly dried before turning her attention back to her brother.

"And I know this. So you're down for heading to Six Flags tomorrow?" he asked.

"Yeah. I need a little excitement before heading back to the monotony of classes," Kagome replied.

"Great so John, Corey, Monica, and Yumi are coming," Souta answered.

"Aright. Let me go. I'm finished drying and I still have to get my hair done," Kagome replied as she slipped her sandals back on and looked at her glossy nails that she had trimmed and filed in even squares. Kagome hung up her phone and tossed it back inside of her Louis Vuitton purse before heading over to the hair salon to get her deep condition treatment.

~*~*~
"You look wonderful sweetie," Kimora said as she looked at her daughter's simple, yet elegant, French Twist.

"Thank you," Kagome replied as placed the small hand held mirror down and stood from the seat. Her mother, as usual, had her hair in long loose curls that fell midway down her back and was running her fingers through the silky mass.

"Are you ready to go?" Kagome asked her mother as she wanted back her credit card.

"Yes," Kimora replied as she glanced down at her watch and saw how much time she had before she had to start getting ready. "I can't believe that it's already five o'clock. We really have to get a move on it."

Kagome rolled her eyes at her mother before thanking the people who had worked on her and headed outside where her mother's silver Bentley Continental. The two of them took their respective seats before pulling off and heading to the tailor's to pick up their outfits for the gala.

~*~*~
"So what are you going for tonight?" Kevin asked, his lips shining with his sheer pink gloss.

"I'm wearing black tonight and since it's a formal environment I don't want to go overboard but I would like my eyes to look smoky and please don't reshape my lips," Kagome said as she sat down, facing him, on her vanity chair while tying her white satin robe tighter around her scantily clad body.

Kevin nodded before grabbing her make up kit, which was filled with contents he suggested she purchase for these types of events, and quickly began to apply her Guerlain Divinora Pure Radiance. The 24 karat gold particles quickly melted into her skin and he nodded at the golden glow in her complexion. His face mirrored his concentration as he smoothed the Divinora protective base over her eyelids before using the loose kohl liner to draw a thin black line from the inner corner of her eyes to the outer corner. Kagome hummed to her Rihanna CD as Kevin painted her eyelids in black and gray hues and fought the urge to blink as he coated her thick lashes with a primer and black mascara.

The make up process was a relatively quick one, taking about half an hour, but when he finished Kagome praised him for the work he'd done. He'd used black and gray creamy eye shadow to give her the smoky look she'd wanted, making her sparkling blue eyes pop in the process. Her fill curvaceous lips were lined using her linen Dior Lipliner pencil and filled in using her sweet whisper Juicy Rouge lipstick. She thanked Kevin for a job well done before sending him off to her mother.

Kagome locked her bedroom door securely once Kevin was gone and tossed off her robe. She smoothed out the straps of her black seamless low rise thong before unzipping her garment bag and pulling out her gown. She carefully pulled the black Versace dress out of the bag and placed it on the bed before tossing the garment bag inside of her closet. The dress was simply beautiful what with the crocheted bodice with a deep v-neckline and an open back with scroll detail. It was fitted to cling to her hour glass frame and she hoped that the tailor had it fit to perfection before there was no time to get that error fixed.

She unzipped the size of the dress and stepped into it, positioning it correctly, before zipping it up. Kagome had to stifle an excited scream as she looked at herelf in the full length mirror. The dress fit perfectly tastefully showing off her perky full C breasts, toned arms, flat stomach, and rounded behind. Her make up was an added bonus and just gave her the image and affect she was going for.

She glanced at the clock and cursed when she realized that she only had less than an hour to finish getting ready. With urgency in mind she grabbed her black jeweled open toed Versace pumps and slid them onto her perfectly painted feet. She smoothed her dress over her shoes before heading to her jewelry box to add some much needed accessories.

Kagome quickly sorted through her extensive jewelry box, pulling out the priceless pieces that she wanted to display for the night. An amazingly designed virevolte necklace by Van Cleef & Aprel's was chosen to decorate her neck while a pair of simple diamond and pearl diamond drop Chris Aire earring dressed her delicate neck. She was carefully adding a few diamond studded dragonfly clips to her hair when her mother knocked on her bedroom door telling her that they were ready and to meet them outside at the limo.

"I'm almost ready!" Kagome exclaimed as she snapped the clip firmly in place and heading back to her jewelry box.

Kagome tossed the last few accessories she wanted into her black clutch before spraying on her perfume and leaving her room. She quickly made her way towards the main hall and down the winding staircase before waving to the butler as she walked out of the house and made her way over to the black stretch limo awaiting her. As she slid into the butter soft leather seat her parents smiled at her and complimented her on the way she looked.

"Thank you, the two of you look beautiful," Kagome replied as she slipped her sunflower ring on her left ring finger and her marquise scroll ring on her right ring finger.

"Thank you baby girl," Jason said as he helped her fasten her diamond bracelet on her wrist.

"So what's the game plan for tonight?" Kimora asked her husband as she crossed her legs allowing her floor length gold dress to rise a bit and show her gold Dolce & Gabbana sandals.

"I've invited the who's who of New York. Everyone in coming from Donald Trump to Sean Combs including the ever reclusive Inu Taisho," Jason said.

The name Inu Taisho snapped Kimora's attention from her engagement ring and wedding to her husband. Inu Taisho was a business Tycoon who had his hands in a little of everything. There wasn't much known about him except that he had two sons, a wife who even in her forties put some of the younger twenty year olds to shame, and that until two months ago he'd lived in a huge mansion somewhere in Boston.

"Inu Taisho? How did you work that out?" Kimora asked as she flung her hair out of the way, inadvertently making her diamond necklace and earring attract more light.

"I just sent an invitation and for some reason he agreed," Jason shrugged.

"So are the rumors true?" Kimora asked, excited to find out new gossip.

"What rumors?" Jason asked. He was a business man and he rarely dealt with anything but hard facts. Rumors were things he didn't entertain and so he had no idea what types of things were spreading about this multi-billion dollar tycoon.

"That he's a demon," Kimora replied.

"How should I know? I've never met the man," Jason shrugged.

"Can you believe it though? I wonder what one would look like," Kimora muttered.

"Then why don't you ask grandpa?" Kagome asked her mother, rhetorically.

Kagome's grandfather, who moved back to Japan to be closer to his brothers, went on and on about demons and how he must constantly bless the shrine to keep the evilness at bay. She thought the whole thing was a crock. No one had any proof that demons were real and if they were, and were as bad as everyone made them out to be, then why weren't they trying to destroy the world and take over.

"Your grandfather is a little gone sweetie. I tried to tell him years ago that demons aren't at all anything like what they were portrayed. They even have equal rights now," Kimora replied.

"Then why haven't I ever seen one? Why doesn't anyone talk about them?" she asked.

"Demons tend to stay to their own. They don't necessarily like or trust us; they deal with us because they have to but they normally stay to themselves which is why I think Inu Taisho is a demon," Kimora said.

"So you'd like to meet a demon? Maybe be friends with one?" Kagome asked.

"Sure, why not? They're no different then anyone else," Kimora said.

"So if Mr. Taisho is a demon what will you do? Go up and say hi I'm Kimora Higurashi and I would love to pick your brain even though I was raised by a priest who said you were all evil?" Kagome asked her mother sarcastically.

"No, I think I have more couth than that," Kimora replied just as the car pulled up in front of the Waldorf Astoria. The driver put the car and park and let them out before driving around back to find an available parking spot.

Inuyasha

"Bring your ass on Inuyasha!" Inu Taisho yelled at his youngest son.

"I'm coming dad! Take a chill pill!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he stuffed his feet into his Gucci loafers. "I don't understand why I have to come anyway. Sesshomaru is taking over the business, not me."

"He's right father, he's only a liability to our grand purpose," Sesshomaru replied as he slipped into the back seat of the limo.

"Yes Sesshomaru works with me and will actively take over the business when I decide to retire but each of you will be handed thirty percent of the controlling stock so it's imperative that both of you are involved in business functions," Inu Taisho said.

"Yeah Sesshomaru. You need to stop picking on me because I pull more bitches than you," Inuyasha said cockily as the limo driver made the short ride from their penthouse apartment in the Trump to the Waldorf Astoria.

"No I pull bitches, you pull those human females," Sesshomaru replied coldly.

"Semantics," Inuyasha replied with a wave of the hand before turning his attention to his father, "Now these humans do know that we're demons right?"

"They suspect," Inu Taisho replied.

"Well this will be an awkward situation," Inuyasha muttered as he thought about his obvious dog ears and his father's and brother's youkai marks.

Kagome

The party had been in full swing for the last hour and the only half way decent men there were well into their thirties and that left Kagome with no realistic romantic options and totally bored. After mingling until well after midnight Kagome decided that her parents wouldn't miss her and left the table she's been sat at and headed over to the bar to order herself an apple martini. Just as she was taking a sip of the lime green liquid she heard an unfamiliar male voice say, "What would daddy say if he saw you drinking alcohol?"

Kagome rolled her eyes, irritated, knowing that it had to be someone who worked with her father. Probably some middleaged guy trying to climb his way to the top and hoping to blackmail her into talking him up to her father. While she normally would have guy given the guy the one finger salute and walked off she decided to humor him. His voice was a smooth baritone and he smelled amazing and that offered him a little more attention than she normally would give, especially since she had no better options for the night. She twisted her body to face this mysterious visitor and stopped short when she saw the incredibly handsome man sitting next to her cradeling the neck of his beer gently between his fingers.

"I don't believe we've met," Kagome said, ignoring his rhetorical question alltogether, staring into his amber eyes.

"We haven't," he replied as he put his drink down and offered me his hand. "I'm Inuyasha Taisho."

"It's nice to make your aquaintence Inuyasha," Kagome replied as she slipped her smaller hand into his larger one.

"Would you like to dance?" Inuyasha asked Kagome as the beginning notes of the tango started playing.

"I would love to," Kagome replied as she placed her drink down on the bar and offered him her hand.

Inuyasha led her to the middle of the dance floor and wrapped his arms around her and swayed to the music before starting in on the overly sensual steps. What started off as a simple dance quickly turned into a show as the other party goers stopped what they were doing to watch the young couple taunt and tease each other on the dance floor. As Kagome and Inuyasha struck their final pose applause rang out around the room and the two of them broke eye contact and blushed before waving in the general direction of the other people and started to walk off. The two of them headed over to Kagome's empty table and waved down one of men holding champagne trays and grabbed a flute before turning their attention to each other.

"So how do you know my father?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"I don't," he replied before taking a sip of his drink. "My father and several guest were invited; hence my appearance."

"So what do you do?" Kagome asked him.

"I'm a student," Inuyasha answered shortly.

"Really? What college do you go to?" Kagome asked.

"I'm enrolled in Saint Dominic's," he replied.

"Really? I go there too. What year are you?" she asked.

"I'll be a senior this fall," Inuyasha answered.

"Me too," Kagome said, excited for the first time about the start of school.

"And here I was thinking I wasn't going to know anyone," he replied softly.

"Can I ask you something?" Kagome asked Inuyasha after a moment of silence.

"You just did," he answered with a smirk.

Kagome rolled her eyes before saying, "Are you a demon?"

"Why?" he asked.

"I've just never met one and those," she said pointing to his ears, "look a little too real to be a joke."

"I'm half. Does that bother you?" he asked.

"No," she replied before yawning.

"You're tired?" he asked.

"A little. I've been running around all day and this isn't exactly my scene," Kagome answered.

Inuyasha stood and offered Kagome his hand. She took it, looking at him curiously, as he led her out of the hall and to the front of the hall.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked.

"You're tired and it doesn't look like the party is ending any time soon so I thought I'd hail you cab so that you can go home," he replied.

"Thank you," she replied.

Before either of them were outside good the door man hailed them a cab and opened the door. "So I guess this is it?"

Inuyasha didn't say anything. He just stared at her for a minute before capturing her lips in his. Kagome stood still, shocked at Inuyasha's forward-ness. After a minute she shrugged off any doubts and wrapped her left hand around his head and kissed him back. She sucked gently on his bottom lip before switching the angle for better access. Inuyasha moaned and pulled her closer to him before taking control over the kiss. When the need to breath became more important than their union they parted and breathed shallowly.

"Will I see you again? Before school I mean?" Kagome asked him.

"That depends," Inuyasha said.

"On what?" she asked.

"What you're doing this weekend."

"I was going to head to an amusement part with some friends tomorrow, you're more than welcome to come along," she offered.

"I think I will," he replied before grabbing her hand and jotting his phone number down. "Call me. Leave the instructions to the park on my answering machine."

Kagome nodded before slipping into the back of the limo and relaxing on the thirty minute drive to her house.
