Chapter 6

With a sigh Kagome picked up her thin rectangular cell phone and pressed a few buttons to call her boyfriend. The last time she'd seen or spoken to him was when he left for Hong Kong to start his new internship. The day when Kagome was dropping Hojou at the airport they spotted an old couple meeting at one of the terminals. The elderly couple was holding hands and the old woman had tears in her eyes as she kissed the old man. Hojou was holding her hand and gave in a little squeeze, “ That'll be us one day Baby.” Kagome blushed and looked into Hojou's loving eyes, they were filled with sincerity. Kagome sighed at the memory and after several rings Hojou's automated voicemail prompt spoke and then beeped.

“ Hey Honey, it's Kagome.. I haven't spoke to you in what is now a week? Well, I've missed you terribly. I was just thinking about when we said goodbye. I know you're busy with your new internship and getting settled into your new apartment. Work hard Honey.. but not too hard. I can't wait to see you when you visit next month. But, I'll talk to you later…Bye.” Kagome had debated whether or not to say `I love you' in her message, but it would have been a lie. She didn't love Hojou. Their relationship was stable and nice, but it was far from love. She just always assumed that love would develop between them, as her parents said Hojou Akitoki would be a `trophy husband that any sensible girl would dream to marry.'

“ Who was that?” Kagome jumped from her seat on the couch to see Inuyasha leaning against a wall. He looked as though he'd just woken from a nap, or a romp with the maid. His silver hair was wild, but still silky in appearance and his topaz eyes twinkled with an unreadable emotion.

“ My boyfriend, Hojou.” Kagome replied coolly managing to keep her sapphire eyes on the hanyou without getting flustered.

“ You never mentioned a boyfriend before.” Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow at Kagome who rolled her eyes with annoyance. He admired her form, from her black pumps and her long toned legs disappearing beneath a black skirt, up to her dark gray button up top hiding her perfect breasts. She appeared more relaxed today with her long wavy raven hair falling perfectly onto her shoulders. Inuyasha let out a sigh as his heart began to beat rapidly in his throat.

“ You never asked, anyway he's in Hong Kong for an internship.” Kagome crossed her arms and turned her attention to a book she had in her lap.

“ Internship for what?” Inuyasha asked curiously, `If she has a boyfriend, it's going to be hard to get at her..' Inuyasha chuckled to himself, 'what the fuck, no pussy ass college student is going to make me lose my car.

” He's going to be a doctor.” Kagome smiled at the thought of her boyfriend. The man she would most likely marry. The hanyou inwardly grimaced at the content smile on Kagome's rosy lips. Maybe she loved this Hoho guy, but Inuyasha was determined and if he had to make her love him to get into her pants.. he would do it.

“ He must be smart.” Inuyasha said with a bored tone.

“ An absolute genius.” A low rumble rose from his throat barely audible to Kagome, but she heard it. He was growling at her. Clearing her throat Kagome tried to change the direction of the conversation. “ Where are we going later?” Inuyasha smirked locking his topaz eyes with the young miko.

“ Somewhere.” He said with a mischievous lilt and a lick of the lips. Kagome blushed deeply and opened up her thick book scanning the pages.

“ How vague.” Kagome mumbled momentarily looking up at Inuyasha. For some reason or another, she secretly feared Inuyasha's eyes. They had a power to them. If she had stared too long into them she could lose herself in the golden orbs. Somehow she got the feeling he knew this and it was the reason he always tried to catch her eyes in deep gaze.

“ Of course.. That's what makes it great.” Inuyasha winked to the girl before leaving for his bedroom. After a little `herbal session' with Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha took a seat on his love seat and flipped open his laptop and began to type, for once in a long time he was inspired to write.

With a smile Inuyasha reread what he wrote. It was his best work in months, the words seem to flow perfectly. He saved what he had written and shut off his laptop. The hanyou walked over to his bed and laid back, the ceiling seemed to spin slowly as he stared upwards. His mind began to wander as his eyes drift lazily shut. `Kagome Higurashi, what a beautiful conquest she will be and imagine the inspiration the tragic loss of her virginity will cause.. It's a win win situation.'

Kagome stood up from her place on the couch and slowly made her way to see Inuyasha. Given he was rude, perverted and cocky, but he was all she had in Tokyo. She had no one else. With a tentative knock, Kagome listened for a response. When none came she opened the door a crack. She peeked in and saw Inuyasha sprawled on his back looking peacefully asleep. `I guess we're not going out tonight.' Kagome thought with a small chuckle. She knew that light smell that lingered in the room, the smell of weed. How she loathed that smell. Every time the scent reached her nose it made her want to wretch, especially since now it brought harsh memories to her. Kagome had a brother, one that no one spoke of directly anymore.. He was barely thirteen and had already gone to rehab for substance abuse. After the family suffered bad publicity they sent Souta to live with their grandfather and never spoke of him and his problems ever again.

Kagome sighed then looked at the hanyou who had been relentlessly hounding her since she had walked into the Takahashi mansion. Surprisingly to Kagome the hanyou was fast asleep with a relaxed expression gracing his handsome features. Shaking the offending thoughts from her head she shut the door behind her and made her way to the gardens.

“ Has my son begun pestering you yet?” Inutaisho asked Kagome with a deep chuckle then a gulp of his martini. Izayoi playfully smacked Inutaisho on the shoulder chastising him for talking calling their son a pest.

“ Define `pestering' Inutaisho-sama.” Kagome said with a polite smile. She hated having to be so polite all the time, but it was part of how they were supposed to be. Polite at all times, it was important for developing lasting relationships, which in turn could lead to business connections one day.. or at least that was what her parents had always told her.

“ Trying to pursue you is what I mean. My son is a fuck up.. Kami knows I know it. But one thing I can give him is that he's determined. Determination is important in an career and I know he's gonna need it when he and Sesshoumaru take over the family business.” Kagome was floored by Inutaisho's words, never had she heard a father call one of his sons a `fuck up'. Izayoi saw Kagome's astonished expression and gave her an apologetic look for her husband's statement.

“ He isn't a lost cause Kagome. He's bright. Extremely bright, but isn't quite as.. as focused as other students. Inuyasha gets caught up in the typical high society teenage world. You know, the parties, clubs, drinking and drugs. He isn't a bad child.. just a typical bad teenager.” Kagome nodded slowly and smiled with understanding to them both though she was almost angry at how little they thought of their youngest son. “ Has he heard that your boyfriend is the Akitoki boy?” Izayoi asked curiously.

“ Actually, he walked into the living just as I was leaving Hojou a voicemail.” Kagome said with a slight blush staining her pale cheeks.

“ I'm sure he wasn't the least bit happy. I've seen the way he looks at you. If I wasn't so sure I raised him myself I would think he was raised by a pack of hormone crazed dogs.” Inutaisho said with a chuckle, he finished his martini long ago and waved over a maid for another drink.

“ Your parents have said something about you and Hojou talking about marriage. Is it true?” Kagome was starting to feel like she was in an interrogation.

“ What?! No, well, not seriously anyway. But they think he'd be a good match.” Kagome was positive it was her father who would say something like that to the Takahashi's.

“ I actually think you and Sesshoumaru would be a better match. He has a really level head, just like you Kagome. My Inuyasha is too much of a little troublemaker for you.” Inutaisho said with a kind smile. Kagome inwardly chuckled at the thought of herself and the walking block of ice she had met the day before.

“ Really? Sesshoumaru?” Kagome asked with a small laugh, biting back every fiber of anger that coursed through her veins. “ How old is he anyway?”

“ Well, technically he's a youkai, different mother and he's I believe 347 years old at least.” Izayoi replied with a finger on her chin. Inutaisho nodded in agreement with a bored look on his face.

“ Something like that. After the first hundred you begin to lose count.” The maid brought Inutaisho another drink and he gulped it down quickly. Kagome was tempted to tell Inutaisho to slow down with the drinks, but she didn't think he would take it well. Who was she to tell one of the richest men in Japan to cut down on the alcohol?

“ I actually don't think he'd be a good match.. You know that trouble he got that Tama girl in..” Izayoi said shaking her head negatively then rubbed her temples with her fingertips.

“ Who?” Kagome couldn't help but ask.

“ Kagura Tama. A girl Sesshoumaru dated, but that's in the past.” Izayoi's tone hinted that she didn't want to talk about whatever had gone on between this Kagura girl and Sesshoumaru. Kagura.. Kagura. Why did that name sound so familiar?

“ If you would excuse me, I think I would like to take a little nap before dinner.” Kagome said politely getting up and bowing to the youkai and his delicate human wife. As Kagome made her way to her room she couldn't figure out that name, Kagura.. why had it seemed so familiar? Shaking her head to lose her train of thought she curled into the guest bed and fell into a light slumber.
