Chapter 21: Pre-Trial

*************************************************************** ***************

The next day was not what you called a good morning. Clouds covered all of the sky, showing that a storm was approaching. I guess you could say that was the perfect setting for a day like this.

"Kagome, Kagome dear. You have to wake up or we are going to be late."

"Mom just five more minutes." Said a ruffled Kagome. Her head was in her pillow and at the moment her mother and her were having a tug-of-war with the blankets. Kagome opened one eye and looked over to her clock. At seeing both her eyes widen and she looked at her smiling mother. "MOM! Are you crazy?! Its freaking 5:00 in the morning!"

"Kagome, how dare you speak to me like that?" Mrs. H tried to say in a demanding voice, but was failing, because she was just too nice. Kagome smirked at this and got out of bed stretching her sore muscles.

"I'm sorry mom, but why did you wake me up so early?"

"Kag don't tell you have forgotten so quickly." That just hit her like a tone of bricks. How could she forget, just yesterday night the families had went over it. Kagome smacked her forehead.

"Ugh. Today is that pre-trial thingy." Kag's mom nodded and shoved her into the bathroom.

"Okay now I want you squeaky clean when you come out of there and make sure to wash behind those ears."

"MOM! I'm not 5."

"Well sometimes I wonder." She said laughing. Kagome rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her. "Oh yea and I'll have something for you to wear ready out here for when you come out alright?" Her mother yelled through the door.

"Alright!" Kag yelled back. "Today is going to be such a frustrating day. I've never really been to a court, man, I don't know what to do." She said aloud as she looked at herself in the mirror. ((She is still clothed you sickos!)) "And what's worse Christmas is in three more days AND Inu's birthday! Right after this I need to buy everyone presents, so much to do, so little time." She sighed and stripped out of her clothing and turning on the luke warm water.

~*~*~*~*~AT INU'S~*~*~*~*~

Unlike Kagome, Inuyasha had woken himself and everyone in the house bright and early, at least at 4:00 in the morning. Everyone on the house grumbled talking about crazy people and how they were high on something. 30 minutes later the family was now assembled in the dining room for breakfast, Inuyasha sitting in his a little too perky for anyone's liking.

"Son I know you dislike Kikyo, but that doesn't mean you had to torture us too." Inutaisho said taking a huge gulp from his coffee. Inuyasha looked at him seriously.

"Actually your not the only ones who I "tortured". I just got off the phone with Kagome's mom, ((^_~)) and all my other friend's parents."

"Inuyasha!" Akira yelled to her son. "I can't believe you. The pre-trial isn't till 8:00 and you woke everyone at 4:00?!"

"Not everybody, just you. Everyone else at 5:00." He said again calmly and seriously.

"Looks like its official, what the hell are you on?" Sesshomaru said from his quiet spot next to…the sleeping Rin. Inuyasha laughed at that and everyone waited for him to answer.

"Gawd you guys are weird, I swear I'm not taking anything. I just wanted everyone to be up and ready for the trial." Akira shook her head as the maids tiredly made their way into the room with trays of breakfast.

~*~*~

"Err…mom?"

"What is it hunny?" Kagome turned to her mother as she came through the door. "Oh Kagome you look so nice."

"Are…you sure?" She asked look at her mirror and giving herself a skeptical look. She wore a dark navy blue woman's business suit that had a nice fitting jacket and short skirt to match. The skirt had a slit in the back which made Kagome a little subconscious. She wore tan panty hose and black high heel clogs, because she REALLY did not want to wear those pointy shoes her mother gave her. "Mom isn't this skirt just a tad too short. I thought they were supposed to go to your knees, not mid thigh." she pouted and tugged at the skirt for the millionth time.

"Oh Kagome, that is how its supposed to be and stop that you'll wrinkle it." Kagome obeyed and started on her hair. She did the quickest thing possible and took two chopsticks, twirled her hair and pushed down so that it cane into a messy bun. "Wow Kagome, you look very professional, or at least you look like a tired business woman." Kagome's brow raised as she looked at her mother.

"Uh thanks?" Mrs. H nodded and dragged her daughter down the stairs and into the kitchen where two plates full of eggs, bacon, toast, sausages, and a glass of orange juice lied ready on the table. Kagome inhaled deeply at the great smell it emitted. "Mmm…this looks yummy, but…" Kagome looked around. "Wait, what about Souta?"

"Oh, I didn't think that he needed to go so your grandfather and him went to visit your aunt and uncle." Kagome oh-ed and sat down. She waited for her mother and once both were comfortable, they did a small prayer and dug in.

~*20 minutes later*~

"Are you ready Kag?" Yelled Mrs. H up to her daughter. Kagome came down the stairs and heard her mother laughing.

"What's so funny?" Mrs. H kept laughing as she pointed to her daughters legs.

"You! Why do you have a pants on?" Kag's eyes widen a she looked down at her wind-breakers. (Just so you know they are those kinds with the buttons on the side so that you can just rip them off)

"Mom it's the middle of winter. You think I was going to freeze my legs? And anyways these come off with a tug of the side." She showed by opening a few buttons. Mrs. H nodded her head, but still giggled at the strange look it had.

"Well lets go." She said and handed Kagome her winter coat. Starting the car the two women left for the Yokoda mansion.

~*~*~

*Ding dong* ((lol))

One of the many maids in the house quickly attended the door, as the rest were busy with all the other guest. There shivering to no end was a blue Kagome and a smiling Mrs. H.

"Oh you poor dear. Hurry come in." The maid said helping Kagome in. Inuyasha who was just coming down the stairs saw her and in an instant was at her side.

"Hey Kag you ok?" She turned to him and nodded a bit chattery. Inuyasha chuckled. "If you keep doing that your teeth are all going to fall out and I don't think I would want to kiss you anymore." Kagome's eyes narrowed and Inuyasha backed up a bit. "Um…why don't I just get you a blanket. Be right back!" And with that he was out of sight. ((can we say OOC?)) Mrs. H had been left with the maid leaving Kagome to wonder where they went, but that wasn't for long seeing how she could here all the commotion coming from a room to the right of her. Opening the doors she revealed that everyone was there.

"Hey Kag!" Said all her friends in unison. Kagome tried to smile up to them, but only chatter came out. She felt something very warm rap around her and found that Inuyasha had brought her a huge fluffy black blanket.

"Thanks." She got out and snuggled into the warmth. Inuyasha kissed her cheek.

"No prob." The two looked up to see the whole room staring at them and they couldn't help but blush.

"So you two ready, even though we have…" Akira looked at her designer watch. "Two hours left." The nice comfy blanket was instantly discarded and Kagome's eyes were bulging.

"t-two…t-t-two…TWO HOURS!!!" The whole house rocked at the last two words, as Kagome exploded. She turned to a very pale Inuyasha who right now was inching his way to the door. Kagome's eyes were now slits and sweat was slowly pouring down the hanyou's face.

"uh…um…eh-hehe…Kag?" He said trying to find the wall for support. Kagome slowly made her way to him and in a very in-human like speed grabbed a handful of his hair and brought him down to the ground. Kouga who was across the room howled with laughter, but when Kagome's glare looked his way, he shut up real quick. "Kag that kind of hurts…really it does."

"I'm glad!" She growled and Inuyasha had to think twice whether she was human or not. "Why did you wake me up at 5 in the morning, when I could have slept till 6:30?!" She said yanking his hair for each word. ((Gawd I'm evil ^_^))

"I just…wanted…everyone up and refreshed…is that such a crime?!"

"At 5 in the freaking morning YES it is!" Everyone in room was now getting worried about poor Inu's head and the migraine he was going to have. So Inutaisho came to the rescue. Grabbing Kagome with one arm he lifted her high enough so that Inuyasha could escape. The minute he got up, he fell back down, due to Kagome still having a death grip on his hair.

"Kagome let the fuck go!" He yelled. Akira's eyes widen.

"INUYASHA!" He winced at the sound of her voice.

"Sorry mom." While they said that. Inutaisho was busy trying to loosen her grip.

"I could use some help here." He said looking to the others. Inuyasha started laughing at this.

"That's pretty sad dad. The great Inu-Lord Inutaisho can't even take on a puny girl." Both Kagome and Inutaisho narrowed their eyes to slits.

"Really Inuyasha?" He said letting go of Kagome and having her pull harder.

"OKAY OKAY! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. PLEASE help ME!"

~*~*~

Inuyasha rubbed his temples as the migraine wouldn't go away and he had taken an Excedrin half an hour ago.

"Kag why did you have to pull so hard?" He whined as he lay his head in her lap. She rubbed his cute little fuzzy ears, much to his pleasure.

"Well now you know, never to wake me three hours before the set time." Inuyasha nodded and snuggled into her lap. They had taken two stretch limos. One for the teens the other for the parents. Right all the teens were taking this chance to make out with their couples.

~*7:45 AM Tokyo City Court House*~

The limo's came to a halt in front of a very tall and wide building. People were coming in and out of it like ants. And reporters were lined up as they saw the limo. The driver quickly opened the door and the teens got out. Kagome was freezing her butt off no thanks to her mother who made her take off the wind-breakers. Her skirt kept flowing up a little and Inuyasha started to growl at everyone who looked her way, even old women. ((err?))

"Kag it's really weird and hot seeing you wearing a skirt but did it have to be so short." He said into her ear. Kagome shivered lightly.

"Well it wasn't my choice obviously." Inuyasha shrugged as they had finally made out of the horde of reporters and into the warm court house. "Oh gawd I think my legs are frozen." Kag said rubbing at her blue legs. Her mother had come in shortly and was next to her.

"Oh dear stop complaining, I thought you were stronger then that." That got her. When it came to her ego and pride Kag would do anything to uphold it.((hmm…sounds more like Inuyasha?))

"Of course I'm strong, a little frost bite never hurt anyone…right?" Everyone sighed as they were brought into a large court room, with a few other people. Kagome looked at her surroundings. The room was an oak brown and was mostly made of marble. 'Rich bastards' she thought as they sat in the wooden seats a few feet away from the front of the room, where two other trials were being held. A woman and man were up against each other and so far it looked the woman was on the brink of tears. It seemed that the woman was filing a junction, and sadly the man was winning. ((A junction is a restraining order))

"I think we go up next." Inuyasha whispered into her ear. Kagome nodded still rubbing her legs. Kirara who was next to Kag looked down to her legs and noticed that if she kept doing that, she would have a long hole in her panty hoes.

"Uh…Kag?" Kagome looked to the fire-cat demon.

"Yeah?"

"If you keep rubbing your gonna make an embarrassing hole in your hoes." Kagome looked at her weird until she got what she said and started to rub harder. "Kag!"

"I just want to have an excuse to wear my wind breakers." She said with smile. Kirara giggled and shook her head. 5 more minutes passed when they were called up. There were two benches in front of a small wooden fence. Inuyasha and his father sat on the left side while the gang sat two benches behind them. So far no one saw Kikyo and the judge had just excused himself for a bathroom break.

"Hey you think Kikyo ditched or something?" Sango whispered to Kag. She looked at her and shrugged her shoulders.

"I dunno. That girl sure is crazy though." Sango nodded her head in agreement. Just then The devil herself came walking in. Her look was not all that great. (when has it ever been?) Her hair was in a mess and she had no make up on or perfume, everyone thanked the Lord for that! Slowly she sat on the second bench aside from Inuyasha, Who tried very hard not to glare at her but instead did to the wall in front of him. Kagome and everyone else, except for her mother, glared at the girls head.

"Gawd I hate her." Kagome grumbled. The gang nodded at that and waited for anything else to be said. Finally an officer with the judge came in.

"All stand for the Honorable judge Mikado." Everyone stood and for the first time noticing all the reporters who had already lined up in the back taking twenty pictures a second.

"We have come here today to see what Miss. Kikyo Ashikata pleas. The prosecutor Mr. Inuyasha Yokoda. You may all sit." The crowed sat quickly and quietly.

"May Miss. Ashikata's lawyer please come up to the stand." Quickly a woman in the same close as Kagome stood and went to face the judge. "And will Mr. Yokoda's defence lawyer please come up to the stand." Inutaisho also did the same. The two stood there for a while until the judge finally talked. "Ms. Anme I presume." She nodded her head. "What does your client plea?"

There was silence for another while until she to spoke up. "My client pleas...innocent." The whole gang gasped, even Inutaisho gave out a sound. Why in the world would she be so stupid to do that. Thought everyone as they talked amongst themselves. Inuyasha took this time and looked over to Kikyo, who for some reason had a smile on her face. He scowled. 'Stupid wench really thinks she is going to win.' He thought and looked behind. Kagome caught his gaze and silently they said they loved each other. Once again the judge spoke up.

"Alright this court is adjourned until next week. Please be prepared for the next trial and also everyone happy holidays." With that said he got up and left threw the doors behind him. Kagome instantly went to Inuyasha's side.

"Hey you ok?" He nodded and smiled down at her. The others came and together they left. "Well that was short."

"It was just the pre-trial. We didn't even have to really be there." Sesshomaru stated. The teens stopped dead in their tracks.

"WHAT!?" They all yelled in unison. Inuyasha quickly let go of Kagome and made a dash for the limo. The others turned murderous glares to him and Kagome lead the way.

"Oh Inuyashaaaa...."

AN: Well that's all for this chappy. I know not good huh? Um next chapter will be Christmas time! And a little surprise from Inuyasha. Oh yea just wanna say that the pre-trial doesn't really go like that. I kind of figured it out AFTER I wrote so left it. Yea, I'm lazy. -_-, Plz review and tell me what you think!
