InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forever In Love ❯ Coming Together ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: Coming Together

 

Kagome walked into the new house that her and Yash just bought together. She dropped the box she was carrying and looked around at all the boxes that blocked all access to the other rooms.

 

Yash walked up beside her carrying Kit on his back. “Hey there, baby. Is that the last box?” Yash asked.

 

“Yes it is. We are officially moved in! Now all we have to do is unpack everything,” Kagome smiled and kissed Yash on the cheek.

 

“Hear that Kit? Now we can adopt you. We meet all the requirements for adoption,” Yash said.

 

“Well there is one more thing Papa! You have to get married to Mama!” Kit squealed and slid off of Yash's back.

 

“Oh, right, I forgot about the marriage thing,” Yash whispered. Kagome just got to work on unpacking, knowing that this wasn't a good subject for Yash. Every time someone mentioned them getting married Yash changes the subject immediately.

 

Kagome had asked him about it once, but that hadn't ended well. So she decided to drop the subject, since they were still young.

 

“When are you going to get married Papa?” Kit asked.

 

“I never thought I would get married until I met Kagome,” Yash admitted. Kagome paused at what she was doing before looking up at Yash.

 

“Come on Kit. It's time for you to go back to the orphanage. Maybe we can talk Kaede with letting the marriage thing slide since we are living together,” Kagome smiled at Kit.

 

“Okay! Let's go now Mama!” Kit said excitedly.

 

~*~*~

 

“Are you able to let it slide this time Kaede? I mean Yash and I have high paying jobs and we are living together in a house with a small yard,” Kagome said.

 

“I do believe have met all the requirements of the adoption agency and you've filled out all the paper work. If I remember correctly you were accepted. Kit is your new daughter. Here are her things. I found out this morning, but I forgot to call you,” Kaede smiled.

 

“Oh my god really? Are you really serious?” Kagome asked.

 

“Of course dear. You can go tell Yash and Kit the great news,” Kaede said pushing Kagome out the door.

 

Kagome found Yash getting tackled by a bunch of little kids and she smiled at the sight. Maybe one day they could have kids of their own.

 

“Yash! Kit!” Kagome called and waited for the two to come to her. She watched as Yash tried walking with kids wrapped around his arms and legs. Kit ran over and hugged Kagome, noticing that Kagome was carrying a box of her stuff.

 

“Where am I going Mama?” Kit asked.

 

“Home, Kit. Kaede decided to let the marriage thing slide. You're our new daughter,” Kagome smiled as she knelt down in front of Kit.

 

“Really? You hear that Papa? I get to go home with you and Mama!” Kit cried and latched herself on to Kagome in a hug. Kagome lifted up Kit as she stood and smiled at Yash.

 

Yash was still trying to get the kids off of him so he could hug Kagome and his new daughter. He finally got free and turned to pull Kagome into a hug. Kagome felt a pang hit her heart as he hugged her and their daughter. Something was missing. She didn't know what it was, but she could feel that something was off.

 

~*~*~

 

Kagome dropped Kit off at school before heading off to work. She worked the regular nine-to-five day like, most people, for the most famous magazine in all of Japan. The pay was excellent and the job was fun. Now that she had a big house and a family, what more could she ask for?

 

She walked into the giant corporate building and went to the 10th floor. She stepped out of the elevator and almost ran into her partner, Yuki. He was her photographer and go-to guy.

 

“Sorry about that Yuki. I didn't see you coming there,” Kagome said blushing a bit.

 

“It's alright Miss Kagome, I don't mind running into you at all,” Yuki smirked. Yuki was a young man of 20 years of age, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Ever since he was assigned to work for Kagome he had been trying to catch her attention, but had no luck.

 

“Are you ready for the business trip next month? I can't wait to go to America. I'm so excited,” Kagome smiled trying to make conversation.

 

“Speaking of the business trip, the company is only going to pay for one room and since I'm a struggling college student I can't really pay for my own room. I was thinking maybe we could share a room with two beds or something?” Yuki said.

 

“Oh sure, that would be fine with me. If they don't have a room with two beds then I can pay for your room,” Kagome suggested.

 

“No I wouldn't let you do that! I could never let a lady pay for me,” Yuki said.

 

“All right, if you insist,” Kagome said and went to her office.

 

Yuki smirked as he watched her butt sway as she walked. God, she was extra sexy today. Yuki couldn't wait to go to America either, but not for the same reasons as Kagome.

Yash sighed as he turned off his computer screen for his lunch break. He leaned back in his chair as he pulled out a black little box from his top drawer. He opened it to reveal a diamond ring with `Forever in love' engraved on it.

 

“God damnit! What the fuck is wrong with me? Why can't I ask her to marry me?” Yash growled at himself. He was pathetic. He couldn't even ask a girl to ask him to marry him. But he was wrong, this wasn't just a girl, it was THE girl. Why was he so scared of asking him?

 

Was it rejection? He didn't think so, but he was slightly scared that she would reject him. If she stayed with him for five years then he highly doubted that she would reject him.

 

He knew what was stopping him. The fact that being with the same woman for the rest of his life scared him. What if she stopped loving him? What if she wanted to leave him for someone else?

 

What if…What if…What if…

 

“Fuck it! I'm going to ask her tonight!” Yash said and stood up. He left his office and walked to the break room.

 

“Hey there Yash! How are you today?” Jakoru asked. Jakoru was a colleague of Yash's along with the woman that sat next to him, Mimi. Jakoru was a 30-year-old gay man, but he hid it well. The only way everyone knows is because he came out one day.

 

Mimi was a 19-year-old intern at the office. She was good for errands and stuff along that line.

 

“I'm fine, I gotta leave early to pick up my daughter. She has a half day today,” Yash said.

 

“Oh yeah, that's right, you adopted a little girl,” Jakoru smiled.

 

“Do you have any pictures of her?” Mimi asked.

 

“Not at the moment, I left my wallet back in my office. I'll show you later,” Yash said sitting down.

 

“Something is bothering you. What is it?” Jakoru asked.

 

“It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous about tonight,” Yash said.

 

“What's happening tonight?” Mimi asked.

 

“I'm going to ask Kagome to marry me,” Yash smiled.

 

“Are you sure you want to do that? I mean you are still young and hot. You can go out and get any girl or guy you want,” Jakoru smirked.

 

“Yeah, I love her and I want to stay with her for the rest of my life. I mean we adopted a daughter together. Why wouldn't I want to marry her?” Yash asked.

 

“Leave him alone, Jak! It's his life,” Mimi said.

 

Jakoru and Mimi both had things for Yash. Jakoru worked at the Taisho Company for twenty years and hated every minute of it until Yash walked through that door.

 

Mimi only wanted to work there just so she could see Yash. Her major wasn't even in business.

 

No that Yash was getting married neither of them could have him. Maybe that could change. Life usually had a weird way of not working out right?

 

~*~*~

 

Kagome sighed as she walked down the street. What a long day it had been. She couldn't wait to go back home and just sink into a bath of steaming hot water.

 

She walked up to her house and opened the door. Yash was standing on the other side, holding a single rose.

 

Kagome put her stuff down and smiled at Yash. “What's going on?” she asked looking around. The room was dark with candles everywhere, giving off a dim light.

 

“Kit is asleep in her room and I thought we could have some fun. I know you had a long day and you worked really late tonight, but can you humor me?” Yash smirked.

 

Kagome walked over to him and kissed him on the lips. “I'd love to humor you. This is just what I wanted. A quiet evening with you,” she whispered against his lips.

 

“It won't be quiet for long, babe,” Yash joked and deepened the kiss.

 

Kagome broke the kiss when she could smell delicious food nearby. “You cooked?” she asked.

 

“Yup, I did everything you see,” Yash said proudly showing Kagome the dining table and the food that was laid out.

 

“It's wonderful! Thank you so much!” Kagome gasped and hugged Yash tightly.

 

“Well you deserve it, and tonight's a special night,” Yash smiled.

 

“Why is it special?” Kagome asked curiously.

 

“Because I'm with the woman I love,” Yash said.

 

“Okay, something's going on here. You are never like this!” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“I have something I would like to ask you,” Yash stated and pulled out the small box from his pocket.

 

“Oh my god,” Kagome murmured as Yash got down on one knee and held out the box in front of her.

 

“Kagome Higurashi, you are my reason for living and without you I would survive, but I would be dead inside. I promise to never leave you as long as I live and that I will always love you. I want to grow old with you and have children with you and I want to sit on a porch swing with you when are 100-years-old, talking about how many good times we had together. Please would you do me the honor of marrying me? Marry me and become my wife, my Kagome Takahashi,” Yash proposed, pouring all of his fantasies out to Kagome, hoping she would accept him.

 

Kagome smiled down at him and nodded her head as tears ran down her face. A lump in her throat made her speechless as Yash slipped the diamond ring on her finger and stood up in front of her.

 

Yash kissed her, knowing that words would only get in the way at this moment. This moment that was so perfect he wished time stood still.

In the other room Kit listened to her parents and jumped for joy. Her mommy and daddy were going to get married. This was the happiest day of her life.
