A.N. NEW CHAPTER! Read it! hehehe
Her mother smiled, “well as his wife, you should be thinking he’s very good looking.”
“His what…” Kagome tried to say before trailing off.
“I hate to tell you like this,” her mother said, “but when you were little. You and InuYasha were married.”
Kagome couldn’t think. The only thing that was in her mind was run away. She fainted.
Now
Kagome woke up with a headache. She figured that her being married to InuYasha was all a dream, but the more she thought about it the more she found it was reality.
As she walked down to the kitchen, she saw her mother sitting at the table, drinking a cup of coffee.
“Good morning Kagome,” her mother said, “did you sleep alright?”
“As good as a drunk person,” Kagome replied sarcastically, “I even have the morning after hangover.”
Her mother gave her a look before getting up and going to another part of the house.
Might as well do something today. Just as Kagome pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, it started to ring.
“Hello,” she said, taking a sip of her coffee.
“Kagome,” came her friend Sango’s voice, “why didn’t you tell me you were here?”
“I was busy,” Kagome defended herself, “I was going to call you right now to see if you wanted to hang out.”
“Of course,” Sango said, “I have something big to ask you too!”
Kagome smiled to herself, she knew what Sango was going to tell her.
“Well meet me at the mall,” Sango said, “I’ll be in the food court.”
“Okay,” Kagome said, “I’ll be there in a hour.”
“Great,” her friend said before hanging up.
One Hour Later
When Kagome arrived at the food court in the mall, she more heard her old friend than she did see her. That was until Sango pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
“What have you been up to!” the girl squealed in Kagome’s ear, “I only find out about you from the tabloids that have pictures of you and the new boyfriend.”
At hearing this, Kagome started to feel guilty. And it showed.
“What happened?” Sango asked.
Kagome shook her head, and smiled, “I’ll tell you later. You wanted to tell me something?”
The other girl nodded, “I’m getting married.”
Kagome feigned shock, “OH MY GOD! THAT’S GREAT! To who?”
“Miroku,” Sango said as if it weren’t a big deal.
“You hated him in high school,” Kagome said, “now your marrying him. It’s cute.”
Sango blushed, “yeah. He’s still a pervert. But now it’s just… he’s a little different.”
Kagome smiled, “I’m happy for you.”
Sango grinned, “I also want you to do something for me.”
“Sure,” Kagome said, “as long as it’s not having your children for you. I’ll do whatever you want.”
“Great,” Sango said, “you’re my maid of honor.”
Kagome had a huge grin on her face now, “REALLY! THANK YOU! OH MY GOD!”
Sango giggled at her friend who was hugging her currently.
“No,” Sango said when Kagome let go, “thank you. But um… do you remember InuYasha?”
Kagome nodded, “I had dinner with him last night. With my mom and his adopted father.”
Sango smiled, “yeah. That’s good, well he’s the best man.”
At this Kagome paled.
“What’s wrong?” Sango asked worried about her friend.
“It’s nothing,” Kagome said, “I’m fine. Lets shop.”
Sango nodded, dragging Kagome into random dress shops where they managed to find something they liked in each store.
At the end of the day Kagome was exhausted. She needed to call her boyfriend though, but since she was getting on a plane that night. She would just ambush him in his apartment.

At the Airport
When Kagome got back to Tokyo, the first place she went after getting her car was Kouga’s. She wanted to surprise him. Knowing he was angry that she didn’t properly tell him she was leaving, she thought this would be a good way to make it up to him.
Arriving at Kouga’s, she went up to the floor he was on. Knowing that he was home, she went strait to his apartment. Knocking on the door, she heard some shuffling before a curse being let out and then he answered the door. Half dressed.
“Kagome!” he said, “you back.”
“I’m back,” she said with a grin, bringing him down for a kiss, “did you just wake up?”
“Yeah,” he said with a smile, “come in! Sorry if it’s a mess. The guys came by earlier.”
Kagome nodded, “oh. That’s cool. Sorry about just up and leaving.”
“No problem,” Kouga said as he led Kagome to the couch and sat down with her, “you’re here now. It’s all good.”
Kagome giggled, “your right. I’ve got news.”
“Tell me,” Kouga said, nuzzling her neck.
“I’m going to be in a wedding,” she said, allowing him to kiss her wherever his lips met.
“That’s great news,” he said, “who is it? A girl from school?”
“Not exactly,” Kagome said, pulling his face up to hers to kiss him, “my best friend Sango back in Kyoto.”
“Are you the maid of honor?” Kouga asked, kissing her cheeks down her jaw and then gently teasing her neck.
“Yeah,” Kagome breathed as the man slid his hand up her shirt. Making his way to her bra, “but I’ve got to go back next weekend. The wedding is in one month, and she still has to get a dress, and the bridesmaid dresses and everything. She just has a date, the church, and a band picked out. Oh and a place for the reception. Your coming right?”
Kouga though, had quit paying attention all together and was working on getting her shirt off.
“Anything for you,” he mumbled, kissing Kagome’s stomach.
Kagome giggled, “Kouga. We need to stop, I still have to go home and get my stuff set to leave next week.”
“Fine,” he said, pulling away from her, “you never let me have any fun.”
“Maybe because you have friends who barge in whenever they want,” Kagome said, swatting him on the arm.
Kouga blushed, but walked Kagome to her car anyway.
“We’ll spend time together before I go,” she said.
“Okay,” he replied, leaning into the vehicle to give her a light kiss, “I’ll see you later then.”
Kagome nodded, driving off. Suddenly feeling guilty about letting her boyfriend kiss her.
Maybe if mama hadn’t told me I was married. How can someone let two children marry though? Because it’s on the consent of the adults in their lives. It’s bullshit. I’m talking to mama. Maybe I can get a divorce.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
With InuYasha
“Lord InuYasha,” Miyouga said, “what is the matter? Ever since our dinner last night you’ve been acting strange.”
InuYasha shrugged, “it’s nothing Miyouga. I’m just tired I guess.”
The older man nodded, “well if you’re not feeling well I can call a doctor.”
“No,” InuYasha said, “I’m just going to go to bed early.”
Miyouga nodded, before getting up to call Mrs. Higurashi.
When InuYasha reached his room, he plopped down on his bed. Kagome, for some reason unknown to him, hadn’t left his mind since the previous night. He figured she would know by now, about them being married, but he still wasn’t sure how she would react. When he found out they would be together in the wedding as best man and maid of honor, he was a little startled. But in a way he was happy. He would be his wife’s escort to their best friends wedding. If he only knew why all of a sudden he thought of her as his wife, when he had not before.
“Maybe I should take a trip to Tokyo,” he said to himself, settling under his sheets for the night, “visit the wife.”
In a way. InuYasha liked the way that sounded.
The Next Morning
“Hey Miyouga,” InuYasha said, going downstairs to find his guardian, “I’m going to take a trip for a few days. Visit a friend.”
The older man looked at him for a minute, and smiled.
“Your going to see the lovely Ms. Higurashi aren’t you?” he asked InuYasha with a smile.
“Yeah,” he replied, grabbing his car keys to go to the airport, he already had some stuff in a bag and had made a reservation at a hotel along with flight reservations all online, he just had to leave, “I’m going to try and get to know her. Even though I still think we should divorce.”
The older man nodded, and walked InuYasha to the door.
“Do behave yourself InuYasha,” Miyouga said.
“I always do,” InuYasha said with a grin before leaving.
“Now,” he said, pulling out his cell phone once he was on the road, “to get Kagome’s number.”
-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
< b>With Kagome
“He can’t be coming here,” Kagome said to herself, “he cant. Why would he want to visit me? We don’t even know each other.”
Maybe it’s because you’re his wife, the voice inside her head told her rationally.
“Why would he want to visit his wife?” she asked herself again, “he said he’s known about me for a while. Why now? Is it because of the wedding?”
Before Kagome could rationalize herself again, there was a knock on the door. Which she took her time answering, she was just scared.
“Hey Kagome,” InuYasha said when she opened the door. For some reason, all of a sudden Kagome found herself very attracted to the man. He was just standing there, leaning against the doorframe like he did it every day, and to Kagome, it was the sexiest thing she’d ever seen.
“H-hi InuYasha,” she said, “come in.”
InuYasha smiled, following the woman into the apartment. It wasn’t what he had expected, he had a distinct feeling she would make it very girly, but it wasn’t. she had painted the room light blue, with grey trim and black furniture to match. All which was so clean, he was scared to touch it.
“You have a great place,” he said, watching Kagome dart around the small kitchen.
“Thanks,” she said, “coffee?”
“No thank you,” he replied, still watching her closely. He noted how the simplicity of her house clothes still made her look like she was ready to go out at any moment, and how her hair was tied left small tendrils to dance around her face.
“I heard you found out,” he said, sitting at the small table with her.
“Um.. Yeah,” Kagome said nervously, “it was a big surprise.”
InuYasha nodded, “are you planning on staying here? Or coming to live with me in Kyoto?”
“I don’t know,” Kagome said truthfully, “we don’t know each other. I mean… I have a boyfriend. You said just the other night you’ve got a girlfriend. Wouldn’t it be easier to just divorce?”
InuYasha smirked, she was thinking the same thing as him. But that was only until he found out that they couldn’t divorce. Not until they had spent time together.
“Unfortunately,” InuYasha said, “it’s not that easy. We need to get to know each other, find out if we really want a divorce or whether we would want to stay married. Learn to love each other. You get what I’m saying right?”
Kagome nodded, “yeah I get it. Well, I don’t know. I mean, Kouga.”
She couldn’t think of anything to say. She felt bad, because he was a great guy and she didn’t want to leave him like that. Although she could feel her feelings deteriorate from him every time they met. He just seemed to get more attached to her, making it harder for her to go through regular life.
“Why don’t we try to get tot know each other as friends?” InuYasha mused, “or maybe more?”
Kagome turned red, “I guess we could. I’ve been meaning to separate from him for a while as it is. I just… I cant.”
“Why?”
“In a way,” she said, looking into her mug of coffee, “I love him. But in the same reasoning, I want away.”
“Explain that to him,” InuYasha said, hating the fact that he was forcing himself to be so nice about the situation, “tell him everything.”
Kagome flushed, “I cant.”
“Why?”
“You know who Kouga is right?” she asked, going on once he nodded, “well the guy he is, that’s him. But he also isn’t always so nice. He normally isn’t bad, just… sometimes when he gets angry, he gets violent.”
InuYasha got mad then. How can she stay with a guy that’s violent? What if he hit her?
“Has he ever hit you?” InuYasha asked, letting his anger show.
“I… he… I made him mad,” she tried saying, remembering the argument they had. Kouga had wanted to sleep with Kagome, but they were staying in a friends house, and she wasn’t comfortorable with it.
“That doesn’t matter,” InuYasha said, “what gives him the right to hit you? Whether you made him mad.”
“He hasn’t done it since,” Kagome said, eyes pleading for InuYasha to calm down.
“But he still get’s angry easily doesn’t he?” InuYasha asked, making it a statement.
“Yes,” she said, biting back tears, “but he wont hit me. Not again.”
InuYasha watched her. Remembering the Kagome he saw in high school. She wouldn’t ever let men push her around, not teachers, and especially not peers.
“What happened to you?” he asked, “when we were in school. You were tough, and now. You’re letting this man charge your life?”
“He doesn’t,” she said, it was the truth, “he just wants certain things. I run my life.”
InuYasha looked at her again, “do you get time off school?”
Kagome nodded, “the next few weeks. There is some major stuff going on that the students aren’t aloud to be there for. I guess some kind of regulations require that if something like this is going on, we have to leave.”
“Come back with me,” he said, taking her hand, “get rid of the guy and spend time with me. Your husband. Spend time with Sango and your family.”
Kagome was dumbstruck. She remembered InuYasha in high school too. He was rude, never showing emotion. Now… he was practically begging her to go back with him.
“I need to tell him,” she said, looking at her hand being held in InuYasha’s, “he has to know.”
“I’m coming,” InuYasha said, “just in case.”
She nodded, standing up.
“Alright,” she said, “but stay in the hall. I’m going to get dressed, then we’ll leave.”
InuYasha nodded, and waited for her to be ready.
At Kouga‘s half a hour later
“What are you saying?” he asked, dumbfounded.
“I’m saying,” Kagome said calmly, “that we need time. I’m going back to Kyoto because I just found some news that I need to attend to.”
“You can’t leave me,” Kouga said, “I wont let you.”
Kagome was stunned, “what do you mean you wont let me? I’m a adult, I can do as I please.”
“You’re my girlfriend,” Kouga said, grabbing her arm, “you will do what I say.”
Kagome looked at him, wide eyed. What happened to him.
“Kouga,” she said, wincing from the way he was holding her, “your hurting me. Let go.”
“NO,” he roared, “NOT UNTIL YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE!”
Just as he raised his hand to hit her, the door burst open.
“Let her go,” she heard InuYasha say, she had closed her eyes.
“Who the fuck are you?” Kouga asked, looking at the other man.
“Someone in Kagome’s life,” InuYasha said, moving closer, “now let her go.”
Kouga raised a eyebrow, “she’s my girlfriend. I’ll hold her anyway I like.”
“She’s my wife,” InuYasha countered, knowing it would make the other man mad, “I’ll take her if I want.”
“What,” Kouga said, voice deathly low, “why didn’t you tell me you were married?”
Kagome whimpered when he dug his nail into her arm.
“I just found out,” she said, trying not to cry, “we didn’t know until recently. That’s why I’m leaving.”
“You fucking whore,” he said, raising his hand to strike her. But just as he swung, his hand was caught.
“Don’t you lay a hand on her,” InuYasha said, bending the wrist in a way it’s not supposed to move. Kouga acted like it didn’t hurt.
“Take her,” he said, throwing Kagome at the other man, “she was boring anyway.”
Kagome was stunned, after the way he acted with her. He made her seem like she was the world, and now, he made her seem like she was just a trophy. Something pretty to take for photo shoots.
When they got outside, Kagome was numb. She didn’t know what to do. Everything refused to process in her mind. She felt a panic attack coming on.
“What happened?” she asked herself, falling to the ground, putting her face on her thighs, “why did this happen to me?”
InuYasha watched the woman in disbelief.
“Kagome,” he said, kneeling down to comfort her, “it’s alright. You don’t have to worry about him now.”
Looking up, Kagome didn’t see InuYasha. But a friend. Launching herself at the man, Kagome began to sob uncontrollably.
“I’m coming home with you,” she said, “we can try this. Or we can just divorce and I’ll stay with mama and gramps.”
InuYasha nodded, “we’ll figure it out when the time comes. Let’s go get your stuff.”
Kagome nodded, standing up. Wiping the last tears from her eyes, she gave InuYasha the car keys. She couldn’t drive.
He took the keys and helped her into the car before getting in himself. For some reason, he had a good feeling about this woman.
---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------
2 days later
Kagome and InuYasha packed what they could of Kagome’s belongings into the car, and drove back to Kyoto. They would hire a moving company and have everything else brought later. She was going to stay with her family until her and InuYasha decided what they were going to do.
“Kagome,” InuYasha said quietly, nudging the sleeping woman, “we’re here.”
“Okay,” she mumbled, rolling over in the car seat to look at him. He was beautiful, or so she thought, so perfectly masculine she couldn’t understand. The night they spent in a hotel, Kagome was uncomfororable because he reserved the room under Mr. and Mrs. Taisho.
Flashback“Why didn’t you just put it under InuYasha Taisho and Kagome Higurashi?” Kagome asked when they got into their room.
“Because,” he said, tired of her complaining, “it was cheaper that way.”
“I told you I could pay for half,” she said, sitting on the bed, “and there is only one bed in here. Where are you going to sleep?”
InuYasha had been putting their bags in the small closet, looked up so fast he hit his head on the rail.
“Me?” he asked, “you! I’m sleeping on the bed, you get the couch.”
“I’m not sleeping on the couch,” Kagome said haughtily, “you sleep on it. You’re a guy. You’re supposed to be able to get comfortorable anywhere.”
InuYasha snorted, “I can. But I’m not passing up a bed.”
Kagome was about to say something, but InuYasha moved towards her, getting so close she thought he was going to kiss her.
“We’ll share,” he said, “besides. You’re my wife, I promise I wont do anything.”
Kagome nodded, before pushing him out of her way, “fine but I get the shower first.”
InuYasha nodded, and laughed.
“Knock yourself out,” Kagome stuck out her tongue before going to clean up for the night.
When she got out, InuYasha was lying on the bed in just his boxers.
“Is that what you sleep in?” he asked her, eyeing the short shorts and tank top she was wearing.
“It’s better than what your wearing,” she said.
InuYasha snorted again, before climbing under the covers.
“Hey,” Kagome said, moving to stand in front of him, “can I sleep on this side? Habit.”
InuYasha nodded, scooting over to let her in. Kagome giggled and then climbed into the bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
When she woke up, Kagome was awkwardly warm. She didn’t under stand until she tried to move. When she almost sat up, she felt a odd weight and was then pulled back onto the bed. Looking around, she felt InuYasha behind her, holding her around the waist.
“InuYasha,” she whispered, “get up.”
“No,” he said, pulling her closer just to nuzzle into her hair.
“Get up,” she said again, swatting at his arm.
“Fine,” he said, pulling away, “WHAT THE HELL!”
Kagome smirked when he noticed who she was.
“Finally,” she said, moving to grab some clothes to change.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?” he asked, cowering.
“Huh?” she asked, before looking in the mirror. Her hair hadn’t dried before she went to bed. So she had a large amount of tangles.
“Get used to it,” she said, grabbing her stuff.
End Flashback
InuYasha laughed, walking to the other side of the car to get her out. Just as he did, she bit him.
“Damn it!” he exclaimed, holding his finger, “What did you do that for?”
“I don’t know,” she said, “felt like it.”
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and waited for her to get out of the car. When she did, they heard voices calling her.
Turning around, Kagome saw her old friends from high school. Yuka and Eri.
“Hey Kagome,” they said at the same time, “we heard you were moving back and came to see you.”
Kagome nodded, “yeah I am.”
InuYasha cleared his throat to make her remember he was there and waiting.
“Oh yeah,” she said, “I want you guys to meet InuYasha. My husband.”
A.N. I’M DONE! Yay! Review. Tell me everything!
--------------------------------------------Chapter 2: The Surprise--------------------------------------------
Last TimeHer mother smiled, “well as his wife, you should be thinking he’s very good looking.”
“His what…” Kagome tried to say before trailing off.
“I hate to tell you like this,” her mother said, “but when you were little. You and InuYasha were married.”
Kagome couldn’t think. The only thing that was in her mind was run away. She fainted.
Now
Kagome woke up with a headache. She figured that her being married to InuYasha was all a dream, but the more she thought about it the more she found it was reality.
As she walked down to the kitchen, she saw her mother sitting at the table, drinking a cup of coffee.
“Good morning Kagome,” her mother said, “did you sleep alright?”
“As good as a drunk person,” Kagome replied sarcastically, “I even have the morning after hangover.”
Her mother gave her a look before getting up and going to another part of the house.
Might as well do something today. Just as Kagome pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, it started to ring.
“Hello,” she said, taking a sip of her coffee.
“Kagome,” came her friend Sango’s voice, “why didn’t you tell me you were here?”
“I was busy,” Kagome defended herself, “I was going to call you right now to see if you wanted to hang out.”
“Of course,” Sango said, “I have something big to ask you too!”
Kagome smiled to herself, she knew what Sango was going to tell her.
“Well meet me at the mall,” Sango said, “I’ll be in the food court.”
“Okay,” Kagome said, “I’ll be there in a hour.”
“Great,” her friend said before hanging up.
One Hour Later
When Kagome arrived at the food court in the mall, she more heard her old friend than she did see her. That was until Sango pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
“What have you been up to!” the girl squealed in Kagome’s ear, “I only find out about you from the tabloids that have pictures of you and the new boyfriend.”
At hearing this, Kagome started to feel guilty. And it showed.
“What happened?” Sango asked.
Kagome shook her head, and smiled, “I’ll tell you later. You wanted to tell me something?”
The other girl nodded, “I’m getting married.”
Kagome feigned shock, “OH MY GOD! THAT’S GREAT! To who?”
“Miroku,” Sango said as if it weren’t a big deal.
“You hated him in high school,” Kagome said, “now your marrying him. It’s cute.”
Sango blushed, “yeah. He’s still a pervert. But now it’s just… he’s a little different.”
Kagome smiled, “I’m happy for you.”
Sango grinned, “I also want you to do something for me.”
“Sure,” Kagome said, “as long as it’s not having your children for you. I’ll do whatever you want.”
“Great,” Sango said, “you’re my maid of honor.”
Kagome had a huge grin on her face now, “REALLY! THANK YOU! OH MY GOD!”
Sango giggled at her friend who was hugging her currently.
“No,” Sango said when Kagome let go, “thank you. But um… do you remember InuYasha?”
Kagome nodded, “I had dinner with him last night. With my mom and his adopted father.”
Sango smiled, “yeah. That’s good, well he’s the best man.”
At this Kagome paled.
“What’s wrong?” Sango asked worried about her friend.
“It’s nothing,” Kagome said, “I’m fine. Lets shop.”
Sango nodded, dragging Kagome into random dress shops where they managed to find something they liked in each store.
At the end of the day Kagome was exhausted. She needed to call her boyfriend though, but since she was getting on a plane that night. She would just ambush him in his apartment.

“No problem,” Kouga said as he led Kagome to the couch and sat down with her, “you’re here now. It’s all good.”
Kagome giggled, “your right. I’ve got news.”
“Tell me,” Kouga said, nuzzling her neck.
“I’m going to be in a wedding,” she said, allowing him to kiss her wherever his lips met.
“That’s great news,” he said, “who is it? A girl from school?”
“Not exactly,” Kagome said, pulling his face up to hers to kiss him, “my best friend Sango back in Kyoto.”
“Are you the maid of honor?” Kouga asked, kissing her cheeks down her jaw and then gently teasing her neck.
“Yeah,” Kagome breathed as the man slid his hand up her shirt. Making his way to her bra, “but I’ve got to go back next weekend. The wedding is in one month, and she still has to get a dress, and the bridesmaid dresses and everything. She just has a date, the church, and a band picked out. Oh and a place for the reception.

With InuYasha
“Lord InuYasha,” Miyouga said, “what is the matter? Ever since our dinner last night you’ve been acting strange.”
InuYasha shrugged, “it’s nothing Miyouga. I’m just tired I guess.”
The older man nodded, “well if you’re not feeling well I can call a doctor.”
“No,” InuYasha said, “I’m just going to go to bed early.”
Miyouga nodded, before getting up to call Mrs. Higurashi.
When InuYasha reached his room, he plopped down on his bed. Kagome, for some reason unknown to him, hadn’t left his mind since the previous night. He figured she would know by now, about them being married, but he still wasn’t sure how she would react. When he found out they would be together in the wedding as best man and maid of honor, he was a little startled. But in a way he was happy. He would be his wife’s escort to their best friends wedding. If he only knew why all of a sudden he thought of her as his wife, when he had not before.
“Maybe I should take a trip to Tokyo,” he said to himself, settling under his sheets for the night, “visit the wife.”

“Hey Kagome,” InuYasha said when she opened the door. For some reason, all of a sudden Kagome found herself very attracted to the man. He was just standing there, leaning against the doorframe like he did it every day, and to Kagome, it was the sexiest thing she’d ever seen.
“H-hi InuYasha,” she said, “come in.”
InuYasha smiled, following the woman into the apartment. It wasn’t what he had expected, he had a distinct feeling she would make it very girly, but it wasn’t. she had painted the room light blue, with grey trim and black furniture to match. All which was so clean, he was scared to touch it.
“You have a great place,” he said, watching Kagome dart around the small kitchen.
“Thanks,” she said, “coffee?”
“No thank you,” he replied, still watching her closely. He noted how the simplicity of her house clothes still made her look like she was ready to go out at any moment, and how her hair was tied left small tendrils to dance around her face.
“I heard you found out,” he said, sitting at the small table with her.
“Um.. Yeah,” Kagome said nervously, “it was a big surprise.”
InuYasha nodded, “are you planning on staying here? Or coming to live with me in Kyoto?”
“I don’t know,” Kagome said truthfully, “we don’t know each other. I mean… I have a boyfriend. You said just the other night you’ve got a girlfriend. Wouldn’t it be easier to just divorce?”
InuYasha smirked, she was thinking the same thing as him. But that was only until he found out that they couldn’t divorce. Not until they had spent time together.
“Unfortunately,” InuYasha said, “it’s not that easy. We need to get to know each other, find out if we really want a divorce or whether we would want to stay married. Learn to love each other. You get what I’m saying right?”
Kagome nodded, “yeah I get it. Well, I don’t know. I mean, Kouga.”
She couldn’t think of anything to say. She felt bad, because he was a great guy and she didn’t want to leave him like that. Although she could feel her feelings deteriorate from him every time they met. He just seemed to get more attached to her, making it harder for her to go through regular life.
“Why don’t we try to get tot know each other as friends?” InuYasha mused, “or maybe more?”
Kagome turned red, “I guess we could. I’ve been meaning to separate from him for a while as it is. I just… I cant.”
“Why?”
“In a way,” she said, looking into her mug of coffee, “I love him. But in the same reasoning, I want away.”
“Explain that to him,” InuYasha said, hating the fact that he was forcing himself to be so nice about the situation, “tell him everything.”
Kagome flushed, “I cant.”
“Why?”
“You know who Kouga is right?” she asked, going on once he nodded, “well the guy he is, that’s him. But he also isn’t always so nice. He normally isn’t bad, just… sometimes when he gets angry, he gets violent.”
InuYasha got mad then. How can she stay with a guy that’s violent? What if he hit her?
“Has he ever hit you?” InuYasha asked, letting his anger show.
“I… he… I made him mad,” she tried saying, remembering the argument they had. Kouga had wanted to sleep with Kagome, but they were staying in a friends house, and she wasn’t comfortorable with it.
“That doesn’t matter,” InuYasha said, “what gives him the right to hit you? Whether you made him mad.”
“He hasn’t done it since,” Kagome said, eyes pleading for InuYasha to calm down.
“But he still get’s angry easily doesn’t he?” InuYasha asked, making it a statement.
“Yes,” she said, biting back tears, “but he wont hit me. Not again.”
InuYasha watched her. Remembering the Kagome he saw in high school. She wouldn’t ever let men push her around, not teachers, and especially not peers.
“What happened to you?” he asked, “when we were in school. You were tough, and now. You’re letting this man charge your life?”
“He doesn’t,” she said, it was the truth, “he just wants certain things. I run my life.”
InuYasha looked at her again, “do you get time off school?”
Kagome nodded, “the next few weeks. There is some major stuff going on that the students aren’t aloud to be there for. I guess some kind of regulations require that if something like this is going on, we have to leave.”
“Come back with me,” he said, taking her hand, “get rid of the guy and spend time with me. Your husband. Spend time with Sango and your family.”
Kagome was dumbstruck. She remembered InuYasha in high school too. He was rude, never showing emotion. Now… he was practically begging her to go back with him.
“I need to tell him,” she said, looking at her hand being held in InuYasha’s, “he has to know.”
“I’m coming,” InuYasha said, “just in case.”
She nodded, standing up.
“Alright,” she said, “but stay in the hall. I’m going to get dressed, then we’ll leave.”
InuYasha nodded, and waited for her to be ready.
At Kouga‘s half a hour later
“What are you saying?” he asked, dumbfounded.
“I’m saying,” Kagome said calmly, “that we need time. I’m going back to Kyoto because I just found some news that I need to attend to.”
“You can’t leave me,” Kouga said, “I wont let you.”
Kagome was stunned, “what do you mean you wont let me? I’m a adult, I can do as I please.”
“You’re my girlfriend,” Kouga said, grabbing her arm, “you will do what I say.”
Kagome looked at him, wide eyed. What happened to him.
“Kouga,” she said, wincing from the way he was holding her, “your hurting me. Let go.”
“NO,” he roared, “NOT UNTIL YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE!”
Just as he raised his hand to hit her, the door burst open.
“Let her go,” she heard InuYasha say, she had closed her eyes.
“Who the fuck are you?” Kouga asked, looking at the other man.
“Someone in Kagome’s life,” InuYasha said, moving closer, “now let her go.”
Kouga raised a eyebrow, “she’s my girlfriend. I’ll hold her anyway I like.”
“She’s my wife,” InuYasha countered, knowing it would make the other man mad, “I’ll take her if I want.”
“What,” Kouga said, voice deathly low, “why didn’t you tell me you were married?”
Kagome whimpered when he dug his nail into her arm.
“I just found out,” she said, trying not to cry, “we didn’t know until recently. That’s why I’m leaving.”
“You fucking whore,” he said, raising his hand to strike her. But just as he swung, his hand was caught.
“Don’t you lay a hand on her,” InuYasha said, bending the wrist in a way it’s not supposed to move. Kouga acted like it didn’t hurt.
“Take her,” he said, throwing Kagome at the other man, “she was boring anyway.”
Kagome was stunned, after the way he acted with her. He made her seem like she was the world, and now, he made her seem like she was just a trophy. Something pretty to take for photo shoots.
When they got outside, Kagome was numb. She didn’t know what to do. Everything refused to process in her mind. She felt a panic attack coming on.
“What happened?” she asked herself, falling to the ground, putting her face on her thighs, “why did this happen to me?”
InuYasha watched the woman in disbelief.
“Kagome,” he said, kneeling down to comfort her, “it’s alright. You don’t have to worry about him now.”
Looking up, Kagome didn’t see InuYasha. But a friend. Launching herself at the man, Kagome began to sob uncontrollably.
“I’m coming home with you,” she said, “we can try this. Or we can just divorce and I’ll stay with mama and gramps.”
InuYasha nodded, “we’ll figure it out when the time comes. Let’s go get your stuff.”
Kagome nodded, standing up. Wiping the last tears from her eyes, she gave InuYasha the car keys. She couldn’t drive.
He took the keys and helped her into the car before getting in himself. For some reason, he had a good feeling about this woman.

2 days later
Kagome and InuYasha packed what they could of Kagome’s belongings into the car, and drove back to Kyoto. They would hire a moving company and have everything else brought later. She was going to stay with her family until her and InuYasha decided what they were going to do.
“Kagome,” InuYasha said quietly, nudging the sleeping woman, “we’re here.”
“Okay,” she mumbled, rolling over in the car seat to look at him. He was beautiful, or so she thought, so perfectly masculine she couldn’t understand. The night they spent in a hotel, Kagome was uncomfororable because he reserved the room under Mr. and Mrs. Taisho.
Flashback“Why didn’t you just put it under InuYasha Taisho and Kagome Higurashi?” Kagome asked when they got into their room.
“Because,” he said, tired of her complaining, “it was cheaper that way.”
“I told you I could pay for half,” she said, sitting on the bed, “and there is only one bed in here. Where are you going to sleep?”
InuYasha had been putting their bags in the small closet, looked up so fast he hit his head on the rail.
“Me?” he asked, “you! I’m sleeping on the bed, you get the couch.”
“I’m not sleeping on the couch,” Kagome said haughtily, “you sleep on it. You’re a guy. You’re supposed to be able to get comfortorable anywhere.”
InuYasha snorted, “I can. But I’m not passing up a bed.”
Kagome was about to say something, but InuYasha moved towards her, getting so close she thought he was going to kiss her.
“We’ll share,” he said, “besides. You’re my wife, I promise I wont do anything.”
Kagome nodded, before pushing him out of her way, “fine but I get the shower first.”
InuYasha nodded, and laughed.
“Knock yourself out,” Kagome stuck out her tongue before going to clean up for the night.
When she got out, InuYasha was lying on the bed in just his boxers.
“Is that what you sleep in?” he asked her, eyeing the short shorts and tank top she was wearing.
“It’s better than what your wearing,” she said.
InuYasha snorted again, before climbing under the covers.
“Hey,” Kagome said, moving to stand in front of him, “can I sleep on this side? Habit.”
InuYasha nodded, scooting over to let her in. Kagome giggled and then climbed into the bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
When she woke up, Kagome was awkwardly warm. She didn’t under stand until she tried to move. When she almost sat up, she felt a odd weight and was then pulled back onto the bed. Looking around, she felt InuYasha behind her, holding her around the waist.
“InuYasha,” she whispered, “get up.”
“No,” he said, pulling her closer just to nuzzle into her hair.
“Get up,” she said again, swatting at his arm.
“Fine,” he said, pulling away, “WHAT THE HELL!”
Kagome smirked when he noticed who she was.
“Finally,” she said, moving to grab some clothes to change.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?” he asked, cowering.
“Huh?” she asked, before looking in the mirror. Her hair hadn’t dried before she went to bed. So she had a large amount of tangles.
“Get used to it,” she said, grabbing her stuff.
End Flashback
InuYasha laughed, walking to the other side of the car to get her out. Just as he did, she bit him.
“Damn it!” he exclaimed, holding his finger, “What did you do that for?”
“I don’t know,” she said, “felt like it.”
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and waited for her to get out of the car. When she did, they heard voices calling her.
Turning around, Kagome saw her old friends from high school. Yuka and Eri.
“Hey Kagome,” they said at the same time, “we heard you were moving back and came to see you.”
Kagome nodded, “yeah I am.”
InuYasha cleared his throat to make her remember he was there and waiting.
“Oh yeah,” she said, “I want you guys to meet InuYasha. My husband.”
A.N. I’M DONE! Yay! Review. Tell me everything!
