Last Time
"Kagome," he said, dropping to one knee, "will you marry me?"
Now
It was like a bell, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to watch the young couple standing on the dance floor.
"InuYasha I…" Kagome was stunned. Technically they were already married, and InuYasha had told his brother and Rin they were engaged although they had yet to see a ring.
InuYasha smirked at the woman before him, standing up so that he was taller than her, and pulled out a small dark blue box. His smile just got bigger when he watched Kagome’s expression go from surprised to stunned in a matter of seconds. The ‘engagement’ ring was beautiful. The sparkling white gold band was the most… plain thing, even with a Celtic design etched into the band, with a series of 3 diamonds in the center; the 2 outer were a pale blue while the center ring was a black diamond Kagome didn’t even know existed.
Kagome tried to find the words to say as InuYasha slipped the ring onto her finger, "InuYasha…"
"Don’t worry about it right now," he said, leaning down to kiss her gently, "just think about it."
Kagome nodded, and kissed him back with more passion than either one of them expected, "I’ll think about it." At that exact moment the room erupted in applause, and Miroku and Sango took that as their perfect moment to run off to their honeymoon.
After the reception
"Kagome I can’t believe that ring!" Rin gushed as they got ready to go home, "IT’S BEAUTIFUL!"
Kagome giggled, looking down at the heavy piece of jewelry on her hand, "it truly is. I don’t know if I can accept it though…"
"Don’t worry about it," came a bored voice, "he wants to throw his money around on a daily basis, this is something worth it now."
Kagome sighed, still looking at the ring. She was more of less in her own little world until she felt a arm wrap around her waist, "you ready to go?"
Looking up, Kagome smiled and nodded, "yeah. I’m tired, I think it’s finally time to get some sleep."
InuYasha smiled at her, and together they walked to the car to go home.
By the time they got home Kagome was asleep in her seat of the car.
"Kagome," he said softly, gently shaking her shoulder, "we’re home."
"Yeah," she said, rolling her head to the other side of the seat, "I’ll be up in a minute. Just give me a min- snore."
InuYasha quietly laughed before getting out of the car and moving to Kagome’s side. When he opened her door, he was stunned at how she looked. She looks unreal, he said to himself. The moonlight shined off Kagome’s skin softly, while her hair shimmered blue.
"Come on," InuYasha said softly, wrapping his arms around Kagome and pulling her out of the car, "lets get you in the car."
Kagome didn’t say anything, as much as when InuYasha had her out of the vehicle and into his arms, she instantly cuddled into his body.
"InuYasha stay with me," she said quietly when InuYasha got into her room and laid her gently on her bed.
He was surprised to hear that. Kagome wants me to sleep in here with her? After managing to get Kagome into a pair of pajama’s without showing anything that shouldn’t be seen by his eyes, InuYasha tucked her into bed. But as he stood to leave the room, Kagome wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Don’t leave me," she whispered, "stay here tonight."
InuYasha looked down, Kagome was awake, but just enough to know what was going on. She was staring up at him with glassy eyes, "InuYasha please don’t leave me."
He sighed, "okay. Just give me a moment to change. I’ll be right back." Kagome nodded, closing her eyes and cuddled deeper into the covers.
When InuYasha got back to Kagome’s room, she was crying in her sleep.
"Shit," he said, crawling into the bed beside her, moving to wrap a arm around her middle but was surprised when she rolled over and buried her face in his bare chest. Almost instantly though, when InuYasha pulled her to him, her crying toned down and she was just sniffling.
"Kagome," he said, "how lovely to see you? A pretty girl like you needs to be home, with your husband. He’s going to be worried."
"Who are you?" Kagome asked the shadow, "why are you following me?"
"Don’t be like that love," the man said, moving out from the shadows, exposing his body, and his eyes, while his face stayed shadowed, "don’t you remember me? We had such a good time."
"Leave me alone," Kagome said, remembering the mans voice, "and don’t bother me again."
She turned from the man to leave. She got a few paces before she felt a arm snake around her waist and pulled her into a body.
"Now don’t be like that love," he growled into her ear, pushing her into a wall, "how about we have fun. Like old times."
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kagome squealed as the man pushed her into the wall, his hand sliding down he hip and up her skirt.
"Don’t make any noise," he said gruffly, "because you’ll only make it worse."
Kagome woke up screaming, "GET OFF ME!"
"Kagome what’s wrong?" InuYasha asked, sitting upright from where he was when Kagome shoved him away from her.
"GET OFF ME!" she screamed again when InuYasha tried to embrace her, "DON’T TOUCH ME!"
InuYasha was confused, but he still tried, and finally Kagome allowed him to embrace her. She continued to softly sob into InuYasha’s chest as he held her close to him. When she finally calmed down, InuYasha realized she had fallen asleep again. Looking at the clock, InuYasha groaned,
Gently InuYasha laid back on the bed, pulling Kagome with him so her head rested on his chest.
When Kagome woke up the next morning, she was greeted by the sound of a deep rumbling just below her ear. Looking up, she blushed to see InuYasha curled around her- shirtless, holding her to his chest. When she tried to pull away from him, he pulled her back into his rock hard chest with a low growl.
"InuYasha," she whispered, "I have to take a shower. I have a job interview today."
InuYasha just grumbled, pulling her closer, unconsciously pressing his lips to her neck, "forget the interview. Stay with me today."
Kagome giggled, wrapping her arms around his waist, cuddling into him, "I need a job InuYasha."
"No you don’t," he whispered, "you don’t have to work with me."
Kagome sighed, "I understand you’re the CEO of your brothers fancy company, but I need my own job."
"So come work with me," he said gruffly staring into her dark eyes, "I can get you a job."
"What is your company anyway?" Kagome asked, gently trying to put a bit of distance between them, "I mean I’ve never really understood what you do. You go to work with Sesshoumaru, I stay home with Rin, you guys come home, we have dinner, me and Rin talk, then we all go to bed. You and Sesshoumaru don’t talk about work, well not at the dinner table, and then on your days off we don’t do anything. I’d like to know something more about my fiancé."
InuYasha was surprised to say the least, she called him her fiancé, "so we’re engaged now?"
Kagome nodded, smiling, "yes. But I really would like to get to know you better."
"Then spend the day with me," InuYasha said, pulling her to him once more, "we’ll talk about work. We’ll find out what departments have opening and see what you do. I’m more than positive Sesshoumaru wouldn’t mind you working for us."
Kagome smiled, "alright. I still need to call the magazine and tell them I can’t make it."
"What magazine?" InuYasha asked, slightly angry.
"Tokyo Fashion Times," Kagome said, "I was meeting with the CEO today to get a job as the new head photographer."
"Where’s your portfolio?" InuYasha asked, a glint in his eyes.
"In my case," Kagome said slowly, sitting up, "why?"
"Because you’re the appointment I was going to cancel," InuYasha said, his head drooping.
Kagome started laughing, "are you serious?"
He nodded, "my dumb ass secretary didn’t tell my the appointments name, other words I would’ve just looked at your stuff earlier."
"Well in that case," she said with a grin, "don’t move. I’ll get my portfolio."
InuYasha nodded, and watched Kagome as she rummaged through the briefcase sitting on her desk. When he got the book, he was almost stunned at the portraits Kagome had. There were all kinds; actual portraits that were posed along with candid, pictures of buildings and landmarks, and his personal favorite was a self portrait of Kagome, but you couldn’t really see all of her; there was a library type room, and all you could see of Kagome was the underside of her arm along with the line of her body from her breasts to her feet.
"This is amazing," InuYasha said as he flipped through the labeled sections, "I had no idea you were a photographer."
Kagome blushed, "yeah well I got my bachelors while still in high school and I’ve been working for a while. Although I don’t always get the greatest gigs. That’s why when we came down here, I was looking through the ads and found the Fashion Times had a opening for a photographer."
InuYasha grinned, "well I’ll give it to Sesshoumaru. He’s got to okay all hires, but I think you’ve got the job."
"Really?" Kagome squealed, before launching herself at InuYasha, "THANK YOU!"
InuYasha laughed a bit, hugging her back, "not a problem. I know talent when I see it. You’ve got something."
Kagome grinned, cupping his face in her hands, "you are the best fiancé ever."
"Well in that case," he said, closing the short distance between them with a long and sweet kiss.
