From Friendship to Love

Chapter Fifteen: Seven Wonders…Inuyasha Wonders

She pushed the water from her face with both hands and pushed it back towards her hair. Kagome heard the loud splash of the water after it had raced down her dark black hair, and hit the cream tile under her feet. The showerhead sprayed the water over her slender form, washing away the soapy suds.

Kagome smiled, her hands scrubbing the jasmine scented conditioner into her hair. She had created an addict, in herself and Inuyasha. Two weeks had passed since their first time together, the first time for the both of them. Since that night, they had been together two other times and came close too many times to count; the desire burned and itched at their souls, driving them almost crazy.

She watched the steam rise from her heated body while she waited for the conditioner to set in her hair. That night had been the best night of her life, aside from Kouga. Kagome shook her head; Sango had informed her about what Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Rin and herself had done to Kouga. They thought it had been as funny as hell. Inuyasha? It took him three days to stop laughing, and even now he would break out and start chuckling when he thinks about it. Kagome had to admit it amused her ever so slightly hearing that Kouga had been forbidden to ever step foot in that hotel again.

Luckily for Kouga, word of his escapade in the hotel did not reach their school. Yet! As Inuyasha so profoundly put it. Inuyasha had the picture Sesshoumaru had taken of Kouga in the hotel room. He considered it, in his words…fucking precious. It would not surprise Kagome in the least, if her best friend had already blow up the photo and made about a billion copies of it. Inuyasha had threatened more than once since Prom to plaster the school walls with that embarrassing picture of Kouga.

Kagome stuck her head under the running water and began working her hands through her long tresses to rinse out the creamy foam. Kagome's eyes examined the shower. It was beautiful, with a creamy marbled tile floor, and the three walls surrounding her displayed the elegance of landscapes from around the world. The open side of the shower was separated from the rest of the spacious bathroom by a frosted glass barrier, three feet from the floor; gold panels met the frosted glass. The door of the delicate wall was on the left side, away from the golden showerhead. Nothing but the best, when it came to the Tama family.

Kagome had spent the early morning of her day with Inuyasha's mother. She seemed to have gotten stronger since her last weak spell; Mrs. Tama even managed to walk on her own without the help of a walker or another person. Inuyasha unfortunately was forced to listen to his father's lecture about the importance of the family business and a good college education most of the morning.

It was around noon when Kagome decided to invade Inuyasha's shower. She had ninety minutes till she had to leave to meet the rest of her senior class in the school parking lot. From there they would board three charter buses to ride five and a half hours to an amusement park called Seven Wonders. The park would close its doors to its regular customers and reopen them from eight at night to three in the morning for graduating seniors from all over the country. She hoped Mr. Tama would release his son soon, so she could see him for a little bit, before they were forced back into the world that kept them separated.

Kagome sighed as she lifted her face to the water, her eyes closed, losing her self in the sensation of the heated liquid running down her face, her neck, her body. She wanted him, she wanted to feel his hands on her body, hell she'd be even happy with a simple conversation at the moment, so long as she got to be with him. The night that was to come at Seven Wonders was sure to be fun but as always, Inuyasha's time would be devoted to Kikyou and Kagome would be left wishing, hoping, wanting him to be with her instead.

Her eyes shot open when she felt a pair of strong, rough hands encircle her waist pulling her body against a rock solid chest and an instant later, a soft pair of lips grazed the sensitive skin on her neck. Kagome leaned her head back against his shoulder, trying to bite back the smile that was trying to escape her lips while her hands moved to rest over his.

"I see you've escaped him." Kagome stopped resisting the curve of her lips upward; she pressed back against his naked form, her firm ass pressing against his harden member, earning herself a half moan, half growl in return.

Inuyasha's hands began exploring her wet, slick body. His hands found her soft mounds and began rolling the harden nipples between his fingers, while his lips found their way up to her ear, "Naw, I just got up and walked out."

"Why did you do that?" Kagome asked turning so that she faced him.

Before answering her question, Inuyasha crashed his lips against hers in a thunderous kiss. His tongue instantly darted in her mouth and began massaging the moist caverns of her sweet mouth. His hands want to touch every crevice of her body. He had been waiting all morning to kiss her. It had been slowly driving him insane, knowing that she was in his house, within his reach but could not go to her. She plagued his mind every second of every hour. He was constantly forced to be near her but never allowed to touch her, to talk to her, to acknowledge her as anything other than an enemy. And to be kept from her in his home was more than he could bear.

When he left his father's office, he went in search of her, knowing that she was somewhere in the house since her car was still hidden in the garage. Then after searching the house and the grounds for a good fifteen minutes, he decided to head to his room. Upon entering his bedroom, he stared hopelessly at the steam rising from under the crack of his bathroom door. She had been in his room all along, the last place he thought to look.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome mumbled against his eager mouth, breaking him from his thoughts. She took a step backwards, her arms locked around his neck and pulled him completely under the raining water. After soaking him was accomplished, Kagome trailed a finder down his neck over his chest, across his stomach and cupping his engorged rod with her hand. Inuyasha's breath hastened, softly moaning from her ministrations.

"My father got a business call, and I waited thirty minutes for him to finish the conversation. I got sick of waiting and so after I signed the damn paper he wanted me too, walked out," he finally answered her question, his eyes locking with hers as his hand reached up to gently stroke her cheek.

"Oh…," was all Kagome got out before Inuyasha shut her up with his mouth. The fingers of her free hand kneaded at his muscular shoulders as the heat began to build in her abdomen.

"We have to get ready…the buses leave in an hour." She managed between the ravishing of her mouth and stroking him.

"Feh, and it only takes twenty minutes to get dressed and twenty minutes to get to school from here….so that leaves…," it was Kagome's turn to shut him up, having to stand on her tip toes to do so.

The water pounded against them, and in a blink of an eye, Inuyasha had grab Kagome's ass and lifted her off the ground, rotating slightly so he could press her against the back wall of his shower. Kagome instinctively wrapped her legs around him when he hoisted her off the ground. She threw her head back against the wall in a silent scream, as he entered her in one swift motion.

Kagome fought to keep her nail out of his shoulders as he stretched her walls to fit his enormous size. Supporting her body against the wall, Inuyasha pulled Kagome's hands above her head, pinning them, like her body, to the wall. Her warm, tight passage constricted around him as he began to thrust in and out of her slick folds. Kagome moaned and arched her back after Inuyasha slid his hands down her body, gripping her hips and began feverishly pounding in her, harder and faster than before.

Inuyasha caught himself staring at her breast as they bounced up with every shove into Kagome, the erotic sight was to heighten his energy. He fought to keep control of himself while trying to bury his think shaft deep into his love. Her moans and grasp against his wet skin only urged him further to edge. He took a step back from the wall but let Kagome keep her back pressed against it. He pulled himself almost completely out before slamming back into her, hitting the farthest point in her that he could ago. He moaned loudly, her walls gripping his shaft at his action. The sensation caused him to repeat the same action, each time her walls contracting tighter around his hard member.

He felt her insides begin to spasms signaling her release and he sped up his thrust so that he could release with her. Her muscles sucked firmly on his penis as her climax peaked. He shoved one final time into her warmth before discharging his seed in her waiting womb. Inuyasha muffled Kagome's cried of ecstasy in the final moments of their lovemaking.

---------------------------------------------

She walked up the large, wide spiral staircase that led to his third floor bedroom. She cursed Inuyasha for having a love of heights, thus making her walk three flights of stairs. The woman straightened out her tight, short, red skirt then unbuttoned the first three buttons on her white-collared blouse, slightly exposing the tops of her breasts.

She did not knock when she reached his door, only invited herself in, her eyes began searching in vain for him. His room was enormous and filled with his sword collection, and football posters. Not a single thing was out of place with the exception of his bed. She eyed a tan duffle bag on top of white comforter before dismissing any thoughts about it. Her attention was directed towards Inuyasha's bathroom when an inaudible sound emerged from behind the closed door. Smirking to herself, she glided over to the door. The girl pushed her bra up to make her breast look perkier before softly knocking on the door.

"Inuyasha, honey?"

---------------------------------------------

Inuyasha rested his head on Kagome's shoulder after trying to catch his breath, his body still attempting to recover from the unexplainable high he had just experienced. His arms still held his angel close to his body. Kagome was content, she was happy. Her hands gently stroked his back before reaching for the shampoo.

Inuyasha muttered something under his breath she could not make out when she began lathering the shampoo in his silver, silky mane. After a few moments of enjoying the feel of her fingers massaging his scalp, Inuyasha looked up. Her face was glowing, her eyes sparkling exposing every ounce of love she had for him. He could not help the huge smile that danced on his lips before he leaned down and captured her swollen lips.

A knock was heard at the door and the two lovers instantly tensed. Inuyasha released the kiss only to press his forehead against Kagome's and his grip tighten around her in a protective manner.

"Inuyasha, honey?" a muffled female voice rang through the bathroom.

Inuyasha growled. Kagome looked up into his eyes, and could clearly see fear….fear of being caught, and fear of hurting the girl at the door. She stared down at the floor, trying not to let Inuyasha see the pain in her own eyes. She didn't know why, but it hurt her to know that despite all that has happened between the two of them and how much the girl annoyed him, he still cared for her.

"Kikyou…," he barely whispers her name, his eyes closing in shame after see a flash of pain in Kagome's sapphire colored diamonds before she looked away.

"Yes, Kikyou?" he called out as he reached up, gently grabbing Kagome's chin, and forcing her to look at him.

"I love you," he whispered to her, before kissing her nose and pulling her closer to his body, hoping she would let go of her insecurity about his feelings for Kikyou.

"I was on my way to pick up Sakura and I thought I would come by and see you," Kikyou yelled on the other side of the door, 'I'm coming in,' she thought to herself.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He bent his head down towards Kagome's ear and once again whispered to her, "You know, I could just scream at you…Oy Bitch, What the hell are you doing in my shower naked? What? Bitch! I didn't put that in you! You tripped and fell on it…I think Kikyou would buy it, how about you?"

Kagome's face was buried in the crook of his neck, so he could not see her facial expression, but he felt and watched her body shake with suppressed laughter. He reached up and wiped away a trail of bubbles from his soapy hair. It would be so easy to just let Kikyou catch them and let it be over and done with. Then he would be free to love Kagome they way she needed to be loved. But then, if they were caught, all hell would break lose for both his family and Kagome.

The door creaked open and Kikyou step inside the bathroom. Inuyasha spun around and saw Kikyou's blurry figure through the clouded glass.

'Fuck' he thought.

A movement just below him caught his eye. He looked down to see Kagome sitting on the shower floor, her back against the wall, her knees brought up to her chest, her folded arms laying on top of her knees, and her chin resting on her arms. He stared at her for a moment then realized that she just saved his ass, providing Kikyou didn't decide to join him the shower. That would definitely make for an interesting revelation on Kikyou's part.

Kikyou only saw the top half of Inuyasha through the frost, and by sitting on the floor, Kagome hid herself from Kikyou's view because the gold panels block her body from sight.

The water was no longer hot from running for so long, the luke-warm water ran down his back. Inuyasha replaced his back with his head to rinse the shampoo from his hair, so he could attempt to get Kikyou out of his bathroom.

"I am trying to finish my shower, you know," Inuyasha acknowledge Kikyou's present, noticing she just stood there waiting for him to speak.

"Yes I know," she responded, licking her lips, "Mind if I join you?" she asked in a seductive tone.

"I do mind. You can wait until I am finished," he responded, turning the faucet off, and ringing his hair out.

Kagome drummed her fingers on her forearms, and picked her head up to rest against the wall behind her.

"Inuyasha! You never let me have any fun!" Kikyou whined, "I am beginning to believe you can't get it up or are you really gay?," she teased.

Inuyasha loosened his grip on his hair and it fell against his moist skin. His hands remained where they were, as Inuyasha simply stared at his girlfriend, his jaw almost reaching to floor. Kagome bit her tongue and buried her face in her arms trying desperately to stifle the laughter trying to escape.

'Trust me, Kikyou. He's far from gay. But he can't help it if the sight of your toothpick, clammy body sends his and every other male's member into hiding.' Kagome thought to herself, smirking the entire time.

"Fuck you, Kikyou" Inuyasha snapped back when his wits returned to him.

"Gladly!" Kikyou chirped as she began to make her way towards the door of the shower.

"Just hand me a damn towel."

Kikyou mumbled to herself while she grabbed one of the marshmallow soft towels off the counter next to the shower stall. She flung it over the top of the shower entrance where the glass stopped a foot below the ceiling. Inuyasha retrieved the towel and quickly dried himself off, as he did, he glanced down at Kagome who now had one elbow propped on top of her knee while her chin sat in her half open fist. She gave him a knowing, amused smirk before and corking an eyebrow at him.

Inuyasha simply snorted at her, but smiled to himself as he stepped out of the shower room, careful not to open the door too wide.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome raced in her car down the street towards the senior parking lot. Her adrenaline sprinted through every vein in her body. There was no doubt about it, her death was inevitable because he was surely to kill her the second he got the chance.

Inuyasha had changed in to his black pants, white tank top, and red button down shirt before escorting Kikyou down to her car. Kagome was finally able to leave the bathroom to change herself.

She waited for what seemed like forever, before Inuyasha to return to her. She accomplished getting dressed in her tight black pants, a tight spaghetti strap top, and a see-through button down, collared green over-shirt. Kagome finished with her make up and drying her hair, and still Inuyasha did not come back up to his room.

It wasn't her fault; people do some wild things when boredom takes over their minds. She had noticed the dress shoes he was going to wear to the event that night, they just sat there on the floor next to his bed. She knew he hated shoes, and that he despised socks even more. He could always get away without wearing socks, but shoes he had to wear. So knowing, that Inuyasha would stick his bare feet in his shoes, she ran over to his closet and retrieved the tube of icy-hot, he kept in his gym bag.

Before her conscious could reprimand her for being a bad girl, she squeezed the bottled of pain-reliever into the toe end of both shoes. When he finally did return, she spent a few minutes with him talking before he decided they should get going. His facial expressions were absolutely priceless as his mind tried to register why his toes had this weird tingling sensation.

It was only seconds later that his shoes were flung across the room, his eyes burrowing playfully, dangerous into Kagome's soul, while both feet subconsciously dug themselves into his carpet. She had been in hysterics the entire time and only managed to get away from his lunging body by a spilt second. That was when she ran down the stairs, to the garage, and into her car, speeding her soon-to-be dead-ass away from his mansion.

Her car came to a screeching halt as she pulled into a parking space. Kagome got out of her car, her body trembling with excitement and fear at the sight of Inuyasha's car at the entrance of the parking lot. He had been on her tail the entire trip. Her eyes scanned the lot; almost half the seniors were present, waiting patiently to be allowed to board the buses.

She spotted Sango and Rin sitting in Rin's yellow convertible only three cars away. Inuyasha entered the parking lot, his car rolling closer and closer to the area she decided to park.

Kagome began walking towards her friends, ignoring him, and knowing that he really could not do anything to her while in the present of others. She smiled wickedly at that thought, understanding that she was safe for the time being. Upon reaching her friends, she said nothing, only climbed into the back seat and made herself comfortable, staring smugly out the windshield of the car.

Rin and Sango stopped their chatting long enough to watch their friend silently make herself at home in Rin's car then turned their attention to the Senior Class president who parked his car directly in front of the yellow Camero. A staring contest ensued. The two females in the front of the car kept looking back and forth between the two lovers, wondering what in the hell was going on.

"What did you do to him, Kag?," Rin was the first to speak up.

Kagome smile only grew, but her eyes never left the tall, handsome man who now was leaning against the hood of his car, smirking right back at her.

"Oh nothing much.," Kagome's eyes shot up to the passing clouds when Kikyou took Inuyasha's attention off her and putting her hands behind her head.

'I win,' she thought proudly, she could hear her two friends speaking to her but nothing registered but that single notion.

"Kagome?," Sango's voice reached her ears.

"What?" Kagome answered Sango, descending her gaze towards her.

"Don't give me that tone of voice!" Sango scolded her.

"Sorry, mommy." Kagome pouted.

Rin shook her head before attempting to speak, "Well, since you decided to stop listening to me, I'm not going to tell you what I over heard Sessy talking about to his investigators."

Kagome eyes grew the size of saucers and automatically sat up right, "What did he find out?"

Rin could not help but notice the hope pouring from Kagome's expression, "Relax, it may not be anything, especially since I know he hasn't told Inuyasha yet."

"Just tell me" Kagome said inching closer to the front of the car.

"Well, Naraku apparently had a gotten another woman pregnant a few weeks before he married his pregnant fiancée. At present there aren't any traces or clues as to who the woman was or where her and the child, well adult now, are located."

Kagome squealed and hugged Rin from behind, pinning her to the driver seat of her car. Sango hunched down in the seat as most of the student in the parking lot turned in the direction of the high-pitched noise.

"Calm down, it still may not be anything. It not illegal to cheat on your future wife, besides I don't think Kikyou's mother even cares what Naraku does, so long as she stays his wife."

"I know," Kagome let go of Rin and sat back in her seat, "I can still hope though, can't I?"

Rin looked back at her friend and gave her a sympathetic smile, "Of course you can, Kagome, of course you can."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

On the trip to the park, Inuyasha rode on the first bus with Kikyou and Miroku, and Kagome rode on the third with Rin and Sango. Sango and Miroku had gotten into a minor argument right before they got on the bus. So for the sake and sanity of all, they decided to ride in separate buses so both could calm down and talk it over when the senior class reached their destination.

The five and half-hour drive to the theme park, was incredibly humorous for Kagome. The entire time, Inuyasha continuously sent her text-messages each one depicting a different, unique way he was going to torture her when he got her alone. When they finally reached Seven Wonders, Rin snatched Kagome's phone from her and counted 96 total messages from Inuyasha every single one of them a threat, he had every intention of following through with. Some threats were corny while others Kagome would rather not experience and some sounded absolutely delicious.

The park was huge and divided into four sections each depicting monuments, sceneries, culture aspects, foods, shops and rides of the Seven Wonders of the World. There was a an Egyptian area for the pyramids and the lighthouse of Alexandria, an Grecian region in honor of the Colossus of Rhodes and the Statue of Zeus, an Asia minor or Turkey part showing the Temple of Artemis and The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and a section displaying the hanging gardens of Babylon. Each part of the park had anywhere from mind blowing roller coasters to gentle, relaxing boat rides.

Kagome, Rin, Destiny, Sango and Miroku hung out together while enjoying the thrill rides and the food that the park had to offer. It took most of the first half of the night for Sango and Miroku to completely make up and when they did, it was ten minutes before they realized the other members of their group left them. Sango called Kagome on her cell and located their friends and in a short time rejoined the group.

Kagome leaned against the railing behind her; her arms folded across her chest and her lower lip sticking out ever so slight. She hated water rides; especially ones where the sadistic designers enjoyed sending the vehicle filled with riders down a nearly straight, seventy-foot drop. So why did she even get in line to ride? Stupidity! Yep, that had to be it. She was just plain stupid. Kagome could feel her stomach already doing flip-flops and they were a good ten minutes from even boarding the boats.

The narrow hallway that constituted as the waiting line for the ride was decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphics etched to perfection in the stone walls and orange-colored lanterns hung from the ceiling. Kagome felt like she was actually standing in the labyrinth of the ancient pyramids rather a mere replicate. The distraught female looked down at her silver watch. It was a quarter till one.

Inuyasha hummed happily from the other side of the railing where he stood adjacent to Kagome. Kikyou, Sakura, and him had gotten in line behind Miroku, Sango, Destiny, Rin and Kagome. He wondered why Kagome chose to ride something she didn't like riding. But dismissed the thought noticing the look on her face and concluded that she was wondering the exact same thing. In all honesty, he was just happy by the fact that Kikyou decided to be civil and not start anything with Kagome tonight, which meant all he had to do was keep his mouth shut and all would be good.

They reached the docking platform minutes later. The "canoes" that the passengers rode in were divided into three compartments in which two people could fit, one in front of the other. The person in front would have to sit between the legs of the person behind them and all six riders had small grip bars on each side of the boat. Two canoes loaded at a time, starting with the second in line then the first. Once boat number two was full, Miroku and Sango were directed to the front line of boat number one, then Destiny and Rin were lead to the next line, and Kagome and Inuyasha to the last line.

Inuyasha looked back at Kikyou and Sakura, who were so busy talking, neither noticed that he was gone, or that they would be two whole boats behind him. He smiled, without a doubt this was going to be his favorite ride of the night. Kagome turned and looked at him with a glint in her eyes, she had realized the same thing.

"Ah, Kagome, do you want me to switch with you?" Destiny asked her friend in hopes of saving her from a ride through hell.

"Feh!" came out of Inuyasha's mouth as his gazed returned to Kikyou to see if she noticed anything yet.

"I'll be fine, I'd rather torture the bastard by making him ride with me." Kagome answered Destiny the same gleam in her eyes.

Rin's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she stepped into the boat. Sango sat in Miroku's lap, Destiny between Rin's legs, and Kagome in Inuyasha's lap and the canoe launched forward into the dark tunnel that marked the start of the ride.

Rin stared at the scenes in each room they entered, and shivered from the brisk of cold air as the boat passed under an arch. She found herself getting bored as each setting portrayed ancient Egyptian customs and traditions. Rin noticed Destiny in the same state of boredom as she had her elbow propped on the left side of the boat, her cheek resting in her palm, and her eyes staring into the water. In front of her Sango and Miroku passed the time by seeing how far their tongues could go down each other's throats. She missed Sesshoumaru. Soft moans behind her, caused her to turned around and find Kagome and Inuyasha performing the same act as Sango and Miroku.

"God! All four of you need to get a fucking room!" Rin shouted out of annoyance of not having someone too.

The two couples ignored her outburst, while Destiny stared at her slightly confused before looking behind her. Rin watched her reaction, and giggled when Destiny's eyes nearly popped out of her head and her mouth hung open.

Kagome was leaning back against Inuyasha's chest, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She had tilted her head enough to reach Inuyasha's lips as he leaned down to kiss her. Kagome broke the kiss, to be met with her friend staring at her in shock.

"Destiny, are you alright?" Kagome asked her, while Inuyasha placed small, suckling kisses down the side of her neck.

The brown, curly haired girl snapped back into reality, "Yo…You and…" she couldn't quite make out what her mind was trying to register.

"Yes, Kagome and Inuyasha. To make a very long story short, they are actually in love but can't let Kikyou find out because her father is blackmailing Inuyasha." Rin tried to ease the girl's mind quickly not wanting to go into a lengthy explanation.

"And soon enough, I'll be able to make an honest woman out of her," Inuyasha said against her neck, with a mischievous smile.

Kagome elbowed him the ribs in response. After a few more moments Destiny seemed to found some peace of mind about the startling new information she just received and returned to staring out the side of the canoe. Kagome happy the attention had left her and Inuyasha shifted herself so that she straddled Inuyasha's waist and then hungrily claimed his lips pressing her heat against his shaft, his hands moved from her waist down to her backside.

Sango and Miroku finally discontinued their embrace when the boat shifted, glancing back only to find an interesting sight behind the females in the middle. Rin sighed to herself taking notice of Sango and Miroku intently watching the two behind her. Curiosity getting the best of her, she took a peak back to get a full view of Inuyasha's hands down inside Kagome's pants massaging her friend's bare ass.

"Shit, Inuyasha's worst than Sesshoumaru when he's horny." Rin spoke aloud without realizing she had.

Miroku threw his head back letting out a deep, loud chuckle signalizing to Rin that her last thought was verbalized to everyone in the group. Turing every shade of red, the petite girl heard female giggles from beside her and in front of her while a groan of protest could be heard behind her.

"Thanks Rin. I need that image in my head." Inuyasha griped, trying to shake the detailed illustration from his head.

Kagome had her forehead on his shoulder, her hands gripping his biceps, trying not to laugh; he had gone from partially excited to limp as a noodle in two seconds. She had never thought it was possible for a male to do that.

"I'm sorry, I did not mean to say that out loud, its just that Sessy has a fascination with my ass and…" Rin buried her face in her hands when four of the six in the boat almost fell over in hysterics, she was on a roll tonight, "I'm shutting up now."

"Please do!" Inuyasha whimpered, he was going to have nightmares for months.

Kagome reached up and stoked his cheek, "Shh, it's okay baby." She managed to choke out before busting into laughter again.

"It's not funny!" Inuyasha retorted, trying to sound angry but failing miserably since a chuckle danced at the bottom of his throat.

"Yes it…AHHHHH!," the boat lunged down a twelve foot drop, water splashing up into the canoe.

Inuyasha began turning blue from the death grip Kagome had around his neck. His hands managed to grab a hold to her wrist and pried the terrified girl off him.

"Damn girl, that's only the little drop," Inuyasha spoke to her watching her small body still trembling in fright.

"I know," Kagome tried to regain some composure, "I just wasn't expecting it"

The trip continued through the important time periods of Egypt, each room taking the unsuspecting passengers higher up in the building, leading them closer to declination of the Egyptian empire and the downward fall of their small boat

Kagome clung tightly to Inuyasha, her breath coming in short pants as the ride progressed. He simply rubbed her back and held her close to his body.

"Why did you bother getting in line, Kagome?" Inuyasha gently spoke to her.

"Because I am STUPID!" Kagome cried into his shoulder.

The silver-haired man bit back a chuckle before kissing his angel's temple.

"I mean I like these kind of rides, honestly…it's…it's the anticipation of what going to happen that freaks my mind and body out."

He noticed to glassy reflection of her eyes when she lifted her head to speak to him. He raised his hand and wiped the hair from her face, giving her a soft smile.

"Here, turn around, lean against me, close your eyes and just relax. I'll hold on to you, I promise."

Kagome did as he told her and she felt safe when his arms wrapped around her upper half keeping her close to him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

The black haired female tapped her foot against the tan brick road as she waited. She didn't like standing in a dark alley behind a shop, alone. She hugged her arms to her ribs as a cool breeze swept passed her body. If he didn't show up, he was dead and she would be the reason why. She re-read the text message he sent her…

Meet me behind the bookshop on main street 15 min b4 we leave.

"Sorry, Kagome," she nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of his voice.

"Inuyasha!," her voice a notch just below yelling, while she clipped her phone back on her pants.

"What?," he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing her against him.

"Don't sneak up on me like…" she attempted to scold him but her mind quickly gave away to the sensations Inuyasha was invoking in her body.

His warm hands raced under both her shirts, and began caressing her chilled skin. His lips played havoc at the conjunction of her neck and shoulder. Then just as quickly as he had started he let ago of her and began walking away, leaving her craving for more.

"Inuyasha?" she called out somewhat bewildered by his actions.

"Hey, nobody ever said torture would be fun baby," he bit his lip, the corners of his lips curving towards the stars.

Kagome fumed, she took many hasten steps to catch up to him and just before she could whack him in the back of his head, he spun around taking her in his arms and making a two complete circles before setting her back on her feet. Seconds afterward he eagerly lean forward to indulge in one of his favorite pastimes, bringing his hand to the back of her head so he could deepen the kiss.

-----------------------------

Kouga stared at the small white building he saw Inuyasha walk behind contemplating on whether he should follow or not. His evening had been pretty much dull since he had been to Seven Wonders at least a dozen times before; the excitement of the theme park had long lost its interest him. He rode the second bus on the way to the park, since Inuyasha rode in the first and Kagome in the second. He stopped to think about those two particular people for a second.

Kouga did not remember much about the party after prom only that he tried to force himself on Kagome in his drunken state and he had not gotten very far before Inuyasha had beat him to a pulp. Then when consciousness returned to him, he found himself strapped butt-naked to a hotel bed and two minutes later the entire hotel staff barged in the room singing happy birthday for only God knows why. Inuyasha! Who else could it have been? But the question that really got to him was why did Inuyasha so inaptly defend Kagome?

His thoughts were broken when one of his buddies spoke up behind him, "Shouldn't we be heading to the bus?"

"You three go on without me, I'll be behind you in a few minutes." Kouga responded his eyes trailing up to the corner Inuyasha took.

"Where are you going, Kouga?" a tall, lanky friend asked.

"Nowhere, just go!" Kouga snapped back harshly.

When all three of his friends were out of sight, Kouga proceeded across the street, down the slender path and crept around the corner of the bookstore. He stopped dead in his tracks at the sight his eyes fell upon. His rival stood there before him kissing the one person on this earth Inuyasha should never be embracing, if he wanted to keep his relationship with Kikyou.

An evil smile played at his lips, 'Oh yes, Inuyasha is going to pay for what he did to me.'

Even if Inuyasha didn't want to be with Kikyou anymore, if she found out, there would be hell to pay and she would not fall short of destroying Inuyasha and his whore. Payback's truly a bitch, especially where Kikyou is involved.

But Kouga wanted Inuyasha to know who was the one that ultimately started his annihilation. Kagome left first to catch the bus, while Inuyasha waited behind for a few minutes before leaving to do the same. When his rival was alone, Kouga made his presence known.

"So, Inuyasha…I see that I have discovered your dirty little secret." Kouga said smugly, delighting in the sound that emerged from Inuyasha's throat as he spoke.

Inuyasha turned and looked Kouga dead in the eyes, anger was apparent in all his features, "And what do you plan to do about it asshole?"

"I plan to reap in the spoils of my plunder," Kouga explained, "beginning with the reaction Kikyou will have to my news."

Kouga's haughtiness faded when Inuyasha's rage dissipated and his lips mirrored Kouga's evil grin. That action followed the retrieval of his cell phone from his pants pocket. Kouga watched in puzzlement as Inuyasha played with his phone for a few moments before Kouga felt his own phone buzzing.

'What the hell?' Kouga thought as he flipped up the top panel to discover Inuyasha had sent him a photo.

He opened the message containing the picture and paled instantly, his eyes shot up to the sender.

"One word spoken out of your mouth about Kagome and I, will result in that photo being hung on every inch of every wall in our town, the high school being my first target."

Inuyasha's eyes narrowed at the ghostly figure in front of him, who had obviously gone into a form of epileptic shock. He could faintly hear the word "No" repeatedly coming from Kouga's mouth.

"Good, I am glad we are on the same level. Keep that copy for yourself, I've got about a hundred others at home." Inuyasha said reinforcing his threat, as he walked away to follow in Kagome's footsteps back to the buses.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha stared up at the dark sky above him as he waited in line to broad the bus. The few stars that did appear in the hollow void were dim. The night had gone by pretty good, he got to spend some time with Kagome, shock the hell out of Kouga, and had a little bit of fun in the process. He was about to enter the bus when the Lone Ranger rang from his side.

Groaning to himself and making a mental note to change his ring tone, Inuyasha looked at the caller ID before answering.

"Don't tell me you only just now figured out I walked out on you, old man." Inuyasha spoke without a greeting, taking a step aside to lean against the bus.

"No I noticed the second you left, but my time did not permit me to contact you until now." His father coolly replied.

"Whatever, can't this wait until this afternoon it's already three in the morning and I am too tired to bother with any business shit right now."

"The details can but I thought you might like to know what it was you signed without reading this morning before I could explain the terms to you."

For some unexplainable reason Inuyasha felt his blood run cold, "What did I sign?" his voice a fraction lower than it had been moments before.

"The Tama Company and the Shikon Company are merging as you might already know. Well the contract was drawn up under the compromise that my youngest son marry Mr. Shikon's eldest child, well in Naraku's case his only daughter. I signed the agreement and so did Naraku, all it need was your co-signature since your taking my place in few short years and your brother signature. I sent the document for Sesshoumaru's signature a few hours ago."

Inuyasha felt his lungs constrict, what had he done? Why the hell did he sign something without reading it first? All hope of ever being free from Kikyou skipped merrily away from him, as depression and anger raced to take its place.

"Does Kikyou know yet?" he did not want Kikyou spreading the news around before he could get to Kagome.

"No, Naraku was waiting for the completion of the merger so that the both of you could tell her of the good news. We both agree, the marriage will take place shortly after the two of you graduate in a few weeks. Well I must retire. Goodnight." and that was all Mr. Tama said before hanging up the phone.

Inuyasha clutched his phone in his hand. His mind screamed for him to wake up from this nightmare. No, it was not some terrible dream it was real…reality. He felt all his organs shatter into dust, but none as quick as his heart.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sesshoumaru slammed the contract on his desk, "Fucking Bastard."

He knew Inuyasha did not read the pact, because if he had he never would have agreed to sign it. His bond to Kikyou was a legal matter now. After the contract was complete, the nagging bitch would find out in mere hours of her engagement to his brother and no doubt the entire country would know of it by either her mouth or the press. So Sesshoumaru decided he would withhold his signature on the document for as long as he could, to give Inuyasha adequate time to inform Kagome of his idiocy.

The phone on his desk rang, sitting down in his huge, white leather chair; Sesshoumaru pressed the crimson button to the speakerphone.

"Yes?" he frigidly answered.

"Sir, we can't find any trace of the woman or the child," a rough, sharp voice crackled from the speaker.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temple, "Keep looking, not that it matters now," he pressed the red button again ending the conversation before spinning his chair to stare out his office window.

He feared Inuyasha was beyond his help now; the stupid bastard signed his fate, and now he was going to have to live with it.
