~

The penthouse at the Tokyo Grand Hotel was very busy on Tuesday morning.

Inuyasha paced his balcony slowly, looking out at the buzzing city below him.

Today would be a disaster, he knew it, he could feel it in his flesh. Kagome already didn't like him, how would she react to both their family and her family together? Inuyasha already knew that when his mother or father said family reunion around him he ran for the hills. But what would his family think about hers?

What would her family think about his? His mother was lovable, of course, but his father was a little harder to get along with.Inuyasha really hoped that Sesshomaru wouldn't be there. He had a talent of saying that wrong thing at precisely the right time. Like bringing up Inuyasha's past relationships, or how he went home saying that Kagome was nothing but a stupid picky bitch last night.

He really, really hoped Sesshomaru would not be there."Inuyasha, come back in here."

The hanyou turned and went back inside, closing the doors behind him. "Mom! Stop that!" he said immediately when he saw her with his clean clothes, folding his underwear and putting them in the dresser.

"Well you're not going to do it." she said reaching for another pair. Inuyasha went over and pushed her away, grabbing his briefs and boxers and shoving them unceremoniously in the drawer. He closed it roughly.

"I don't see why you're even folding them, I'll have to wear them again." he argued, walking over to the corner table and sitting down. He sighed, watching one of the maids change the sheets and blankets on the bed, listening to the other in the living room spraying Youkai Sensitive Spray to kill all the odors she found.

Izayoi walked over and sat down at the small table. "You really should have something done with the penthouse for Kagome-"

"Mom, she's not going to care if the place is 'romantic' or not."

She laughed. "You really need some tips from your father. I've met Kagome, she'll like some candles, red sheets, a little perfume on the pillows."

"Perfume on the pillows? Are you kidding? I won't be able to sleep." he said pouring himself another cup of coffee.

"You're not supposed to sleep tonight, Inuyasha. Tonight is your wedding night, you'll be fucking all night." Izayoi said rolling her eyes.

"Mom, stop saying fuck, really, it makes you sound so stupid. There are some people that just shouldn't fucking cuss, and you, are one of them. Stop it."

"Fuck." Izayoi said smiling. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

Inuyasha waited until the maids were gone to order something to eat, his mother still complaining about how he should make the place nice for Kagome. Personally he didn't see the point; sex was sex, with or without the fancy environment. He finally gave in, and let her put in the specifications with the manager that were to be done before they got back from dinner.

Inutaisho stopped by just after five thirty, on his way to pick up Kagome. He made the night's agenda clear to both of them, and made sure Inuyasha was getting ready.

When he walked out the door Inuyasha huffed, and plopped down on the couch with his tie in hand. "Mangy bastard." he said boredly, putting his hand in his palm.

He stood when the door opened again. "I heard that, pup." Inutaisho said warningly before he left, and Inuyasha let the other insults run ramped inside his brain.


~~~ <.< ~~~


Sota whined. "What now?"

Miroku huffed as he marched back over to Sota. He grabbed the teens tie and forced it loose, pulling it off and retying it around his neck.

"Like this." he explained, redoing it and pulling it tighter then he preferred. "This is your sister's big day, you have to look perfect." he said quietly.

Sota loosened the evil thing and turned back to the mirror, folding his collar down, glaring at the tight garment.

Miroku hurried down the hall and into Kagome's room, where he found her standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself. "You look great." Miroku assured.

Kagome smirked a little, and looked back at the mirror. The dress he had sent had been absolutely gorgeous. Although red wasn't he favorite color, it definitely made her look good. It came tightly down her torso, loosening considerably at her hips and drifting down to her knees lightly with small slits on either side. Though she didn't really like the tight halter top, Miroku absolutely loved it on her.

Miroku walked over and picked up the diamond necklace, going behind Kagome and dropping it in front of her face. He fastened it behind her neck, and pulled her hair through. "Gorgeous." he whispered.

Kagome put the earrings on, and pushed her hair back, smiling. Miroku smiled again. "There's no way you can not feel like the most beautiful woman ever with sixty three and a half karats on her body." he said smiling.

Kagome smiled. "Are you sure I should wear this, I mean, I feel like a walking open jewelry vault. This is a lot of rock."

"Of course it is, and it's all yours!" Miroku said smiling.

"Yah, it is isn't it?"


~~~ >.> ~~~


The stretch limousine pulled up by Kagome's house at precisely six o'clock. Sota made sure everyone knew that someone was coming to the door by yelling it from his bedroom. Kagome was downstairs in only a few seconds with Miroku, Sota asking how she ran in three inch spike heels from his doorway. She opened the front door as Inutaisho reached the front porch. She smiled, and extended her hand. "Mr. Soma, it's nice to see you again. Please, come inside to meet my family." Kagome said, bowing a little as he shook her hand.

Inutaisho came inside, slipping his shoes off and stepping up onto the carpet."This is Miroku, my best friend. Miroku, this is Inuyasha's father." Kagome introduced.

Miroku and shook his hand and bowed to him a little.

Sota came down the stairs next, and paused before walking up to Inutaisho, even he was intimidated by the tall youkai."This must be the man of the house, Sota, is it?" Inutaisho asked. Sota nodded.

"Oh, Mama!" Kagome called, walking over to her Mother as she came out of her bedroom. "Meet Inutaisho Soma, Mr. Soma, this is my Mom." Kagome said smiling, proudly presenting her family.

"It's such a pleasure to meet you, finally." Mama said smiling, bowing and shaking his hand.

"As it is you, I do see where Kagome inherits her beauty." Inutaisho complemented, making Ms. Higurashi blush.

"And of course you're where Inuyasha gets his." Kagome said smiling. "Oh, um, is it okay for Miroku to come too? He just got back in from America and begged to go with me." Kagome lied. Inutaisho nodded.

"The car is waiting for us, we'll meet Inuyasha and Izayoi at the restaurant." he explained, Kagome nodded, picking up her purse from the door side table.


~~~ <.< ~~~


Inuyasha paced the dim room quickly, chewing on his left thumb nail a little, his cute fuzzy ears flicking and twitching with every tick of the black and silver clock on the wall. He stopped pacing, and leaned back in the corner, tapping his foot nervously.

"Calm down, Inuyasha." the only other person in the private room said smiling, sipping her ice water as she had promised to have no alcohol tonight.

"You don't understand!" Inuyasha snapped, but his friend stayed calm, ignoring the hanyou's temper.

Sango smiled as she stood. "Yah, I think I do. I'm married, you know. I know exactly how you feel." she said softly, smoothing out her tight yellow dress.

"Well-, well you don't care that you're married!"

"Of course I care, my husband is a heartless asshole who buys me everything I ever want and make sure that I'm perfectly happy as long as I keep my responsibilities up." Sango said shrugging, crossing her arms under her breasts.

"Well, Kagome's not like you, she's not going to be submissive to me like you are to Kono."

"I'm not submissive to him-"

"Yah yah yah, whatever, you're 'assuming the role of a wife', whatever. Do what you want with your marriage, I'm trying to worry about mine." he said pointing to himself.

Sango rolled her eyes and walked over to him, taking his wrist and pulling him over to the round table seated for seven in the middle of the room. "Sit down before you start sweating, Inuyasha." she advised, and he did, sitting and gulping down half a glass of ice water quickly. "Think they could have given us a tackier room?" Sango asked putting her head in her palm.

Inuyasha shrugged. "It doesn't bother me." he said, looking around at the two toned maroon and red walls. The only other option had been the green room, and he had refused it on sight.

The beaded hangings over the doorway jingled a little as Mrs. Soma came into the room. "Oh! Sango, I didn't know you were coming." she said smiling.

"I wasn't, he begged me." Sango said shrugging.

"Dear, don't you think you could have dressed a little more formal?" Izayoi asked as she walked around the table, looking down at the tight strapless dress Sango wore.

"My wardrobe consists of every piece of revealing clothing my husband thinks would look good on me. So most of my dresses are skin tight. Not that I mind, I find the attention nice. Especially when they get one of those 'I'll rip your dick off and ass rape you with it' looks from my husband." Sango said laughing.

Mrs. Soma nodded, and sat down on Inuyasha's other side. "Honey, do you want me to order anything?" she asked.

"No, I'm fine. I just, I just know this is going to be a complete disaster." he huffed as he hung his head and laid it on the table cloth. "When is Sir Rikama getting here?" he asked.

"Soon, honey, don't worry, you're getting married with or without him." she said patting his arm.

"Great..." he groaned.

"Maybe I should had invited Kono to come." Sango said thoughtfully.

"No." Inuyasha said firmly. "I could not take all this, plus him being all- all, husbandly like."

"Husbandly like?"

"You know, Sango, give that to me. Sango, did you iron my shirt? Sango, we should leave early just so I can screw you over the couch tonight." he said putting his face in his hands.

"I don't like it over the couch, it chafes my stomach." she said rolling her eyes.

Inuyasha growled. "Whatever."

"Miss, Sir," they heard, the beads over the doorway rustling, and everyone looked up to see the hostess standing in the doorway.

"The rest of your party has arrived." she said moving to the side.

Inuyasha stood as his Father came inside the room and went over to his wife. Ms. Higurashi followed, then Sota, and a man he had never seen before. Inuyasha's eyes widened when his fiancé came into view, holding the beads to the side and letting them fall behind her. It was like time slowed down when she looked at him. She had worn everything he sent her, the shoes, the dress, and the necklace, oh god he hoped she liked it all.

"That her?" Sango whispered beside him, low enough that only he and possibly his Father could hear. He nodded slightly, and walked around the table.

"Kagome, come, sit by me." he said taking her arm. She bowed her head and followed, he turned to Sango.

"Sango, this is Kagome Higurashi. Kagome, this is Sango, one of my best friends." he explained.

"You already know my Mother and Father, of course." he said quietly.Mrs. Soma and Ms. Higurashi were already getting acquainted, smiling happily and sitting beside each other. Sota said hi quietly to anyone who was listening before he sat down beside Inutaisho seeing it was the only open seat.

Miroku took Kagome's left, and she quickly introduced him to Inuyasha. "This is Miroku, my best friend." she said smiling.

"I've heard a lot about you." Miroku said, shaking Inuyasha's hand in front of Kagome.

"And, this is Sango." Inuyasha said, motioning to her, she nodded her head to Miroku, who returned the gesture.

"Okay, now who's this?" Izayoi said, motioning to Sota.

"Oh, this is my son, Sota, Sota, introduce yourself." Ms. Higurashi said.Sota stood and shook her hand with a smile.

"Pleased to meet you ma'am." he said quietly.

"Such a gentlemen. But dude, there will be no ma'am when your addressing me, alright? Iza is fine."

"Ma'am is reserved for me." Sango said smiling, flipping her hair back.

"Oh, hush." Izayoi said smiling.

Inutaisho spoke again. "Well, let me say I'm glad for everyone being here tonight. Both Inuyasha and Kagome requested there was no large ceremony, so they settled for dinner. Later Sir Rikama will be here, and we can get these two married-"

"So they can start making grand babies for me!" Izayoi interrupted, she and Hina toasted to this.

"Dear, I'm sure Sota doesn't want to hear about how busy they will be tonight." Inutaisho said quietly, but to where everyone could hear.

Inuyasha and Kagome chuckled a little, and looked at the table when Inuyasha's hand scooted up against hers. She looked up at him, completely ignoring what the parents were talking about across the table. She scooted her hand against his, and slipped it up under his, his fingers falling between hers. She smiled a little, and looked away as he gripped her hand.

"Are you even listening? Kagome?"

Kagome looked back up, her Mother was looking at her. "I'm sorry, what?" she asked.

"Izayoi wanted to know if you like the gifts."

"Oh, yes, very much. The delivery man said it was 'I. Soma', so I didn't know if it meant Izayoi, Inutaisho, or Inuyasha." she said laughing.

"Well," Izayoi said as two waitresses came in with the ordered drinks. "I picked out the shoes and dress, but he picked out the jewelry, and paid for everything." she said. "He wanted to put you in this blue dress I have in the store, but it would have made you look like a little girl. He changed his mind to red at the last minute. Do you like the dress?" she asked.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Kagome said again. "I love all of it." she said smiling, putting her hand up on her necklace, looking at Inuyasha and smiling. "I've never had anything so nice." she said quietly, mainly to him.

"You're going to have many more beautiful things if I have anything to say about it." Inuyasha whispered.

Kagome looked away, blushing.

Ms. Higurashi suddenly changed the conversation, much to her daughter's likings.

"So, Sango, was it? How is it you know Inuyasha?" she asked.Sango smiled.

"I was one of the few humans to be allowed to go to the Hiraque Academy when I was young. Father adopted my brother an I when I was thirteen, after my parents died." she said.

"I begged him not to let her get shipped off to an orphanage." Inuyasha said smiling.

Inutaisho smiled. "Yes, if only Iza had given me a daughter like you by blood..."

"Well I'm sorry!" Izayoi joked, everyone smiled and laughed.

"What about you?" Sango asked Miroku."Oh, I'm really sure how we met." Miroku said laughing.Kagome smiled.

"Well, we were neighbors, but we never really talked. But when I was seven, I fell playing a game in a playground and hurt myself. A few boys started to make of me, then Miroku came over and made them leave me alone."

"They were inseparable." Hina said sighing. "He came over every day to play with her. He was like an older brother to her, 'Here, you have to draw it like this' or, 'No! I don't want tea I want chocolate milk!' "she mimicked.

"I remember that!" Kagome said happily. "I convinced him have a tea party with me, and Sota, who couldn't even tie his shoes yet, and when he found out it was actual tea he got mad at me when it tasted bad! Do you remember?" she asked, Miroku nodded, rolling his eyes. "So I got his chocolate milk and poured it in his cup, which was still half full of tea, he didn't even swallow before he noticed it." she said laughing.

"Ok Kagome, shut up." Miroku said blushing.

Sota laughed. "Remember when you dressed him up in Mom's clothes?"

"No!" Miroku said reaching over and clamping his hand over Sota's face. "There will be no speaking of such things." he hissed at Sota. "Right, Poppy?" he asked through his gritted teeth.

Sota stopped struggling and silenced himself.

"Wait," Sango said picking up her glass. "If you two are six years apart, then wouldn't you have been too old to play tea party?"

Miroku shrugged. "I dunno, I just, didn't mind. It was like having your own little servant for a few years you know? Then she started the... fourth grade, and I was already in high school. There was a year or two where we really didn't talk or play or anything. I was a jock and she was a little girl who live next door. On the nights I wasn't doing anything I babysitted her and Sota so Ms. Higurashi could go out, or work. Once she hit the sixth grade and I was a senior, I started taking her out with me again. Granted, she was only twelve, but I didn't take her to parties or anything.

"My friends loved her of course, and the whole 'I'll rip your cock off and beat you with it if you touch her' protectiveness kicked in." everyone laughed. "I dunno, she just, grew on me. She was going to school with most of my friends' little siblings. I started working, and then I started college, and I was still baby sitting. Then, once she was in the... oh what was it... oh, when she was a junior, she met Ko-"

Kagome cleared her throat loudly. She shook her head at him.

"Oh, well, she got her first boyfriend, so that made me stick around more-" everyone laughed "- to make sure he wasn't doing anything. You know, I see you're point Sango, why am I friends with you?" he asked Kagome.

She looked shocked and slapped his chest. "Ass hole."

"Should we order food?" Sango asked pulling the front of her dress up a little. "I'm starving." she added.

"Doesn't your husband feed you before you go out?" Inuyasha teased.

"Shit, if my husband found out all the things I ate when he's not around, he's be furious. If he found out that I was adding body fat to myself by sitting and eating marshmallows and chocolate when he isn't home, he'd keel over and die." she said smiling. Kagome gave her a wired look, then she glanced at Inuyasha."Oh don't worry." Sango said smiling. "Kono's just worried that I'll let my figure go." she said shrugging.

"I'd take some serious work to ruin that figure." Miroku said quietly, Sango glanced and him, and then away, as though the complement offended her.

"Well, I agree." Izayoi said happily. "Let's get some menus." she said thoughtfully.

Sota went to get the waiter, who came with another waitress to refill drinks.

The first course of dinner arrived right in the middle of Mr. Soma's tale of Inuyasha's first girlfriend, when he was eleven. Kagome found it particularly entertaining, while Inuyasha remained silent, letting the story-telling run it's course. All the while their hands lay together on the table between them, every minute or so Kagome glanced down, looking at the sharp talons at the tips of his fingers and the careful way he held her hand with them.

Dinner, all four courses, went smoothly, stories bounced from Izayoi, to Sota, to Sango, to Inuyasha, to Ms. Higurashi, and back to Inutaisho, then to Miroku, and back to Izayoi. Kagome stayed quiet, her mind still too focused on her hand, and how close Inuyasha was. She realized for the first time how lovely his face was, had strong, yet gentle his features were. She nibbled on her dinner, even the dessert she didn't eat much of. Right in the middle of her chocolate and banana ice cream and cake, she looked up with everyone else as Inutaisho stood.

He walked towards the doorway, pulling the beads back. "Sir Rikama." he said with a small smile. Inuyasha smiled again, standing. A male youkai considerably shorter than Inutaisho's tall form came in, donning long blue robes lined in white. He held an old leather bound book to his side, and the young boy behind him held a backpack that looked way too heavy for him. The boy too, was wearing all blue, but his clothes were pants and a dress shirt with a vest. His feet shuffled a little with Inutaisho looked at him.

"This must be your Atacuya?" he asked. The young boy nodded smiling, and nearly fell over his own two feet when he came into the room.

"His successor." Inuyasha whispered to Kagome, who nodded.

"How have you been?" the old man asked Inutaisho."Fine, fine," Kagome didn't catch the rest, they were talking in a language that she and most other humans did not understand. Hiraque wasn't taught in any school other than youkai academies. And trying to find someone to teach you for no good reason, was hard. Hiraque was an old, sacred language, and it was a privilege to be able to speak the tongue of their ancients.

"Let me get more seats, here, have mine." Inutaisho offered.

The old male sat down, and looked over at Inuyasha and Kagome. "Ah, Inuyasha, it's been a while, hasn't it?" he asked softly.

Inuyasha nodded. "Sir Rikama, this is Kagome, my fiancé." he said smiling a little as he sat down, taking Kagome's hand back.

"Ohh, of course. I do remember you." he said. "Of course you were only a pup then." he added.

Kagome didn't really know what to say after the "pup" comment, so she just smiled warmly.

Sir Rikama turned out to be a slightly annoying man. Whenever someone began to speak, he interrupted, trying to enter the story or joke, or whatever was being said very rudely. Inuyasha didn't seem to mind, and shut his mouth when the old man began to speak. At least he has respect for the elderly, Kagome thought to herself...


~~~ >.> ~~~


It was nearly eleven when every left.

Kagome looked at the radio of the car. It was eleven fifty six. How had it gotten so late? She looked back out the window, pulling Inuyasha's- her husband's blazer tighter around her shoulders. The car still hadn't warmed up completely."My husband." The two words had been echoing in her head for the past hour and a half.

He was her husband.

Not a friend, not her fiancé, or her boyfriend.

Her husband.

The ceremony had been shorter than she had thought, thankfully. They had knelled, put their hands together, and repeated the phrases read from the old book Sir Rikama had been holding onto. And even though the phrases had been in Hiraque, she knew what they had basically meant. To honor, to obey, to hold, to keep... blah blah blah. They hadn't kissed, only drank from glass half full of some drink that Kagome hadn't recognized.

Then they had toasted, and she drank wine with her new husband. He hadn't let go of her hand for more than a few seconds since, until they got into the car.

Kagome's hands fidgeted with one another, and her bottom lip was subjected to the entire ride of being nibbled at nervously. Her shiny white French pedicure nails glimmered a little in the darkness of the floorboard. And she hoped Inuyasha hadn't noticed her staring at her own toes so intensely. When the car slowed, and turned into an underground garage, she looked up and took a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked as they pulled around and down the isle to an empty space.

She looked and him, and nodded, brushing her hair behind her ear. The faint scent of his cologne caught her attention, and without trying to attract his attention, took a small sniff. She wondered what it was, it smelt nice.

Inuyasha turned the car off and unbuckled himself, Kagome followed. She opened the door as he hurried to get out and get around the car. He helped her out, and then retrieved her bag from the back seat along with a very dark bottle of the mystery liquid they had shared earlier. Kagome remembered how hard it had been packing her overnight bag. Her head had hurt with the debate of whether to bring lingerie, sweats and t-shirts, dresses, or shorts and a swimsuits. She had decided to bring a little of everything.

Inuyasha locked the car and put her bag over his shoulder, putting his other arm around her waist in a gentle manner. They walked together towards the stairs that went up to the lobby. The only sound was Kagome's heels clicking on the concrete.

The lobby was a long, maroon and navy blue carpeted room with sitting areas to either side, signs that pointed to the restaurant, the gym, and other special features of the hotel. Inuyasha led Kagome across a marble floor to a long, high black counter.

"Messages?" he asked the woman sitting behind the desk, who reached over to a basket and shuffled through a few papers. She shook her head.

"No Mr. Soma, but your room is ready for you, would you like for me to had a bellboy take your bag?" she asked.

"That's okay, I'll take it. I need a six AM wake up." he said as he began to walk away. He turned back, briefly. "Oh, and this is my new wife, make sure to accommodate her to whatever she likes when I'm not here." he added, the woman nodded, bowing a little.

Inuyasha led her over to a small hallway with two elevators, on on either side, and he pushed the up button. He and Kagome waited for a minute, then the elevator arrive, and they stepped inside. Inuyasha pushed the button labeled P and the doors closed.

Kagome shrugged out of his blazer, and he took it from her, hung it over one arm.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, she nodded, keeping her head down. It was one hell of a long elevator ride, no one else got in or out. They were all alone.

A lump formed in the back of the young girl's throat as the elevator doors dinged, and began to move. It took all her might not to push Inuyasha out and go back downstairs. She followed him when he stepped out into a short, decorated hallway. He led her to the left, and over to a set of white double doors with long, thin frosted windows in the middle. He took out a plastic key and slid it in the door, the little light going green and the door opening open for him. He let her in first, and Kagome bowed her head again as she passed him.

The living room was quite nice, spacious, and comfortable. There was a couch and two poofy chairs, a plasma screen television hanging opposite them. The kitchen was off to the side, sectioned off with a long sectioned bar. There were white double doors across the living room that Kagome only guessed was the bedroom. Then to the right were French doors that led out to a balcony, the long white drapes held to the side of the doors. Inuyasha walked past her and over to the bar, he set his keys and her bag down.

"Would you like to shower?" he asked, going over to the wall and turning the lights on.

Kagome shook her head, she had showered before leaving, and didn't want him to sneak in on her while she was naked and wet. He paused, also uncertain of what to say. Kagome stepped down to the living room and sat on the two steps.

"Maybe you'd like to change." he suggested as he walked back over, she shrugged. "Are you hungry? You didn't eat much of dinner." he said, sitting by her. She shook her head, and he shook his, mocking her. She looked at him and he crossed his arms on his knees, hunching over like her. "Are you comfortable?" he asked.

For the first time in a few hours Kagome cracked, and giggled at him. She laid her head on her arms and nodded. Inuyasha followed.

"Well, we can stay here then." he whispered, staring back at her.They looked at each other, studying the face of the one they would be spending their life with. It was a few minutes before Kagome looked away, beginning to loosen up. She stood, and he raised his head as she walked over to her bag.

"I guess I'll change." she said quietly. She looked towards the double doors and pointed at them silently making sure that was the bedroom, he nodded.

Inuyasha stood when she went over and inside the doors, he walked slowly over, and followed her through the small opening. Kagome was looking around. She looked at the low bed, nothing but pure white sheets and a poofy comforter, the bed already turned down for them. She could smell aroma oils, and looked around at the neat dresser and an identical television to the one in the front room on the wall opposite the bed. She walked over to the bed, feeling the soft cotton sheets. She was glad it wasn't silk, silk could get very hot, even at night.

"I thought red silk would be too... cheesy." he said for lack of a better word.

"It would have been. I like white." she said simply, putting her bag down and opening it. She sat down, and looked at him. "Um... could you-?"

"Oh, yes, I'm gonna go, use the bathroom." he said nodding and moving away towards an open door to the left. He went through, turning on the light as he closed the door. Kagome took her shoes off and looked through her bag.


~~~ <.< ~~~


Inuyasha sighed and he sat on the edge of the large round tub, his head in his hands. What am I going to do? he thought to himself. She's uncomfortable. But I still want to take her as soon as I can. She's nervous. But she's your wife now, just get it over with, break the ice.

He scratched into his hair and sighed again as he stood. He went over and relieved himself with a satisfied groan. He hadn't pissed liquidb all night. Once he was done he took off his tie, shirt, shoes and socks, then he went back to the door and opened it quietly. He was a little disappointed when he saw he was just in time to see her pulling a pale pink nightgown down over her hips. She glanced over her shoulder, then went back to her things, laying her jewelry back in it's box and storing it safely in her bag.

Inuyasha walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, she paused as he stepped a little closer. She stayed stilled as his second hand slipping onto her hip, then she felt a strange thing. Inuyasha lowered his head to the back of hers, nuzzling his nose into the soft fountain of hair. He nuzzled around, and smiled to himself, she smelt so nice. Kagome tried not to laugh, he paused, and moved his mouth over to her ear.

"Find somethin` funny?" he asked in a whisper.

"Are you... smelling me?" she asked, he laughed with her a little.

"Why yes, I do believe I am smelling you." he said, returning to her hair and burying his face in the back of her neck. She giggled a little, leaning forward. But he caught her with one arm, and pulled her back against him. He inhaled her scent deeper.

"I have to use the bathroom." Kagome said suddenly, stiffening. She peeled Inuyasha's arm away and hurried over to the door he had himself used. She closed the door quickly behind her, and Inuyasha sighed. He went back into the living room, she would be in there for a while. He took the bottle he had brought in and went around the bar into the kitchen. There were a few dishes that he had requested were left for him.

The hanyou took out two medium wine glasses, took them back to the bedroom, and poured the liquid inside them, the white syrupy substance swirled slightly before coming to a rest. He set the glasses down on the dresser, opening the top drawer. Just like his mother had asked, a dozen small white candles had been left for him. He didn't feel like lighting them, and frankly he still didn't see the point. He closed the drawer and looked back over at the bathroom door, was she finished yet? He heard running water.

But the running water didn't stop, she didn't come out drying her hands, or come out at all. Inuyasha was becoming impatient. Tonight was supposed to be the night they had lots of hard core, flesh slapping, skin nibbling sex. And the night only had forty three minutes left, he noted as he took off his watch as well, emptying his pockets in the same thought. He went back to the bathroom door and knocked softly. The water cut off, and he heard her move behind the door.

"Yes?" she asked softly.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Kagome, open the door. You've been in there for almost ten minutes, doing nothing. Come out already." he paused, but she didn't open the door. "At least come have a drink with me, please, wife?" he asked softly.

Kagome gulped, who would deny him such a simple request? She peeked the door open, and he moved to the side as she could come out. She turned the light off, and he led her over to the drinks he had prepared for her. Hanging her hers, he raised his own to his lips. Kagome followed, sipping the liquid slowly.

"This isn't alcoholic, is it?"

"You'd have to drink several bottle before you felt anything Kagome, it's safe." he said taking another sip.

Kagome downed her glass and Inuyasha chuckled. He set his half full glass down. "Would you like to listen to some music?" he asked. Kagome nodded, taking his glass once his back was turned, she swallowed this as well, and then walked over to the balcony doors. She went outside, shivering at first, then she bucked up and enjoyed the view of Tokyo despite the cold. Inuyasha followed her, soft music starting in the background.

"You'll catch a cold." he said, putting his hands on her shoulders. He slid his hands down, kissing her left shoulder blade softly.

Kagome felt much more comfortable now, and leaned back a little, smiling. She felt his arms slide down and drape around her waist, her head leaning back to lay against her husband's chest. Her husband...These words didn't sound as bad as they had half an hour ago, or half an hour ago. Her, husband. Her eyes drifted closed, and the sweet taste of that strange drink lingered on her tongue. She licked her lips, and looked over at her empty glass. "What was that?" she asked.

"Just a ceremonial drink. Would you like some more?" he asked in her ear, his nose nudging down her neck slowly. Kagome nodded, and he took her glass. "Alright then, don't go anywhere." he whispered softly.

Kagome didn't understand her disappointment when he withdrew from her, she took a deep breath, and blinked, hoping to get rid of the images in her head. It was strange, like she could sense that his mind was imaging the same images she was. She walked over to the stone balcony, the cool wind blowing her nightgown behind her. She was cold, but it was nice out here. After a few glances around she walked back to the doors and went inside in time for Inuyasha coming back with the drinks. She took her glass and drank half of it, Inuyasha sipping his slowly. He really didn't need it, he was horny enough as it is.

She finished her glass quickly, and licked her lips with a smile. Inuyasha turned and took her glass back to the bottle on the dresser. Kagome put her arms around herself again, smiling a little awkwardly, filled with the sudden urge to run over and grab his ass through his slacks."God!" she shouted suddenly. "What's wrong with me?!"

Inuyasha smiled knowingly, then he turned to her, looking concerned. "Kagome, what do you mean?"
