Last Time

“I love you InuYasha,” she whispered, kissing his bear chest.

“I love you Kagome.”
Now

“I don’t care if he’s scared of me,” Kagome said into the phone angrily, “he’s a grown man for Christ’s sake. I’m not going to hurt him, just take pictures of him. -pause- I can say that name, I’m not a Christian. -pause- I don’t care if it offends you, if you don’t like the way I speak or act then you can just forget about the shoot and have another prestigious fashion magazine in
Japan shoot your model… wait THERE ISN’T ONE!”

InuYasha continued to watch Kagome as she yelled at the modeling manager on the phone before intervening, “I’m sorry we’ll have to call you back” and hung up the phone.

“WHAT’D YOU DO THAT FOR?” Kagome wailed, “I ALMOST HAD HIM WRAPPED UP!”

InuYasha laughed and pulled her into his lap, “calm down and breathe. Remember just because the doctor said you’re health was up doesn’t mean you can’t still be sick. Just calm down for a minute.”

“I cant afford to calm down,” Kagome whined, trying to wrench free of his hold, “Sango’s almost got the case in the bag. Just one last hearing and we’ve got the verdict.”

“I can’t believe it only took a month,” InuYasha said, stroking Kagome’s back, soothing her into being still. It had been a month since the fiasco in the tabloid about Kagome’s personal life, they had managed to tell everyone that they weren’t secretly married and disposed of the marriage certificate, and were now working on a real wedding. One that was to happen very soon.

“Guess what,” Kagome said seductively, kissing his neck.

“What?” InuYasha asked.

“I’m really happy to be with you right now,” she whispered, nibbling on his ear.

“Glad to hear it,” he replied, moving to capture her lips in a kiss.

“You’re too good at that,” Kagome said with a sigh when she pulled away from him.

“Nope,” he replied with a grin, “you’re just easily satisfied.”

“That too,” she said, kissing him again. InuYasha groaned as Kagome rearranged herself in his lap to straddle his thighs, finding
it easier to deepen their kiss that way.

“How about we move this somewhere more comfortorable,” he whispered, kissing her neck and standing up, making sure that he had Kagome properly secured within his arms.

Kagome laughed as InuYasha laid her down on the bed, almost tripping as he made his way.

“Do you want me too…” he started, looking intently down at her.

“What do you think?” she asked, pulling his shirt loose from his jeans, “we’ve already done it before.”

“Not that,” he responded with a laugh, pulling her shirt off completely, “I meant do you want a condom?”

Kagome smiled, and leaned up to kiss him again, “if you don’t want one then I don’t want one.”

InuYasha grinned, “did you ever make that doctors appointment?”

Kagome nodded, working the buttons of his pants off, “yeah. It’s not for another week though. Something about this being a major ‘season’ for babies. Why are we talking about this now?”

“Because why you were busy I got you completely naked,” InuYasha replied with a smirk, leaning down to capture her nipple with his tongue.

“You-you-you’re evil,” Kagome gasped, “I didn’t…” she couldn’t finish her sentence because InuYasha was teasing her so thoroughly she forgot what she was saying.

InuYasha grinned at her as he started removing his pants, “you know my dear, we’re all by ourselves.”

Kagome smirked up at him, allowing him to place her body as he saw fit, “yes my love, but that doesn’t mean someone won’t come home and find us.”

“I will not apologize for anyone who enters without knocking,” he replied with a smirk, slowly and excruciatingly entering her.

“InuYasha,” she whispered as he gently moved himself inside her.

“Yes?” he asked, pulling her legs so they draped over his shoulders, allowing himself to drive deeper within her.

“I was thinking,” she whimpered, groaning as the new position forced InuYasha to hit a spot deep within her that for sure would be her undoing.

“How about less talking,” he said suggestively, thrusting himself in her harder, “and more loving.” Kagome nodded not able to agree properly, rolling her hips upward to meet each of his thrusts.

“Oh god InuYasha,” she whimpered as his harder thrusts became faster, “more please! I- I- GOD DO IT FUCKING FASTER!”

InuYasha laughed at her impatience, “come on dear. If I go any faster there will be no fun.”

“Do something,” Kagome whimpered, rolling her hips up against his harder.

“Kagome,” they heard Rin saying, “STOP DOING THAT AND GET OUT HERE! I HAVE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!”


-*later*-

“What time is the hearing today?” InuYasha asked

“Three P.M.” Kagome replied, “but it’s still pretty early. I’m supposed to meet Sango to go over some stuff. There is a lot of media coverage on this, especially about our being married so I’ve gotta make a big deal, wave my left hand around and talk about our upcoming wedding. Speaking of which, because of everything that’s going on, Sesshoumaru thought it would be a good idea to run the wedding and the things for my dress in the magazine.”

InuYasha nodded, “you have to be the single woman I know who’ll make love to her husband and still talk about work.”

Kagome grinned and ran one foot up his leg before flipping them over so she was straddling his waist, “are you complaining?”

“Not at all,” he replied, allowing her to kiss him passionately, until there was a bang and the door burst open.

“INUYASHA! KAGOME! AHHH! SORRY!” Sango had burst in the room and saw what was going on, and her naked best friend and instantly regretted it.

Kagome started laughing and laid her head on InuYasha’s shoulder, “that’ll teach her to just barge in here again I guess.”

InuYasha nodded, wrapping his arm around her waist and rolling them over again, causing her to clasp her ankles around his waist, “but we’re in a bind aren’t we. Sango you’ll have to wait.”

“Cant do that,” she called through the door, “the hearings been pushed up to noon. Kagome get away from him and come out here. We have 3 hours.”

“I’m coming,” Kagome called, pushing InuYasha away before kissing him, “remember Yash. We’ve got all night after the hearing.”

InuYasha grinned and kissed her again, “is that a promise?”

“Anything less would be a crime,” she replied, quickly grabbing a dress from the wardrobe and pulling it on.

45 minutes later

“So my main thing to do is talk about how I met InuYasha here while visiting my mother and had a fling that turned into something else; and then talk about how the last time I came down we hit it off so well I decided to come back to him because my relationship with Kouga wasn’t at all as perfect as it seemed?” Kagome asked Sango. After 20 minutes of talking about what the reporters might ask her, they came up with a story.

“Yes,” Sango said, “and if they talk about the marriage just say it was a hoax and that you two were never married, but you are planning a wedding for later this season.”

Kagome nodded, “we haven’t set a date though.”

“Didn’t you both say you wanted it to be in the fall?” Sango asked her friend, confused. It was February and Kagome and InuYasha had a season they wanted the wedding to be, just not a proper date or whether it would be right or not. But they still have time in the end.

“We do,” Kagome replied, “but considering that InuYasha doesn’t really have a family outside the people here, and I don’t really speak to mine we don’t know how big it’ll be. It’ll probably end up mainly being you guys, his brother and Rin, Miyouga, my family at the shrine, people from work, and some models that I’ve kept in contact with after our shoots.”

Sango nodded, “either way. This small wedding will get lot’s of coverage from the media scandal made with this Miso Suigami. Speaking of which, InuYasha might be a witness, being your fiancé and all so he needs to be as vague as possible.”

Kagome nodded, “and the hearing’s been brought up to noon? Damn, I still have to call work, get some stuff done with a shoot I’m trying to get up, and talk to a caterer. We’ve decided on a meal, just not when the date is. We’ve even got a location, and I have my dress, and damn I never should’ve gotten it fitted. We’re going to have to have this wedding soon, speaking of wedding we need a band… maybe just a DJ and that’ll be it. I’ll have the food set up buffet style with different foods… damn I got too much to do today. Sorry Sango I have so much to do and 2 hours to do it in. We’ll se you at the court house.”

Sango just nodded and watched as her friend raced up to her bedroom to start her business, then her cell phone rang, “Hello,” she answered, “-pause- why did his attorney drop? -pause- I see and who is the new one? -pause- why him? -pause- I understand -pause- No I’m not going to let this get in my way. -pause- Why shouldn’t they know? -pause- Good point. I’ll be there soon. Good bye,” and she hung up her phone, angry about the new information.

with Kagome and InuYasha

“Kagome you do know that multitasking is going to get your hurt right?” InuYasha asked as she raced around the room half dressed with a cell phone attachment in her ear.

“Shut up Yash,” she snapped, finding the skirt she wanted, “yes the name is Higurashi, we spoke earlier. -pause- I understand your model is frightened of me, but assure him I’m not as mean as they say. -pause- HE’S 18 GOD DAMNED YEARS
OLD! I’M ONLY A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN HIM! -pause- I do not remember ever working with this model -pause- we went to high school together? Sir I went to high school with many people. -pause- I understand he’s got issues but I truly do not remember running him over with a golf cart. -InuYasha sniggers- Please inform him that I will not be allowed near any machinery that isn’t a camera or electronics, those of which he is not allowed near. Will that make things better? -pause- Thank you, the shoot is for Monday. -pause- Noon, if he’s late then he’ll not work with another fashion photographer in the hemisphere when I’m through. -pause- Thank you. Good bye”

“I think I’m starting to remember why I fell in love with you,” InuYasha whispered in her ear as she zipped up her skirt.

“Good to know it,” she said with a grin, turning to face him, “now. When should we have this wedding? We just need to set a time, date, and whether we want a DJ or band, and when the caterers should show up.”

InuYasha laughed, “you are relentless.”

“Just busy,” she called, rushing into the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup.

“How about in two weeks,” he suggested.

Kagome popped out of the bathroom, a bug eyed expression on her face, and a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth, “’wo ‘eeks?”

“Yes two weeks,” he replied, kissing her cheek. “I can call the caterer, and get a DJ. You said your grandfather could marry us right?”

Kagome nodded and spit out the toothpaste, “yup. He just has to get the paperwork and have Sango sign it when we’re done. I think it‘s too early. We‘re in the what… third week of February already? I wanted to wait a little longer.”

“You‘ve spent the last three weeks getting everything done already,” InuYasha said with a grin, “and you’ve already got a dress right? -Kagome nods- and the girls have theirs? -nods again- Then we just need a few things. I’ll do it all and you finish getting ready. Today is Friday… so we’ll have it two weeks from tomorrow… on the 20th.”

“How about we do it in… a month? That way I can get a few other things set up here and there,” Kagome replied, not paying
attention as she put curlers in her already styled hair and started to apply her makeup.

“Fine,” he said, lying back on the bed to wait, “a month. I guess I shouldn’t have complained about October huh?”

“Nope,” Kagome called, triumph dripping from her voice, “because you my love just moved the wedding up.”

20 minutes later

“… so you’re also a VJ? -pause- That’s great. How big is your screen? -pause- Perfect. And your price isn’t bad either. -pause- So are you free on the 20th of next month? -pause- Great. The service starts at 5:00 PM and last’s one hour. You can set up in that time and eat if you’d like. We have a caterer and you’ll just tell them what you want, or you can just set up a list and eat with the guests it doesn’t matter to us. -pause- Okay. I think I have something that we can give you for the first dance. -pause- Yes we are planning on it lasting until 2:00 AM, but people will probably be gone by then. -pause- Thanks, see you then. Good bye.”

“That went well,” Kagome commented, coming out of the bathroom, all made up and just needing a shirt.

“Your looking well,” he replied, wrapping his arms around her waist for a kiss.

“Nope!” she said, pushing him away and grabbing a lavender long sleeved silk button up shirt to contrast the dark blue skirt, “you’ll ruin my makeup.”

“For a fashion photographer you sure don’t coordinate well,” InuYasha remarked, going through Kagome’s clothes and pulling out a identical skirt, and a identical shirt in different colors. The new skirt was a dark burgundy and the shirt was a pale mauve, “that’ll go better. And it matches your makeup.”

“Never do that again,” Kagome said, quickly changing.

“Why?” he asked with a grin.

“My husband can’t have better style than me,” she remarked, buttoning the shirt up and leaving 4 from the collar undone.
“Ah but I can,” he said, quickly buttoning the top button, “and don’t leave that undone. I don’t need men staring at you.”

Kagome laughed and grabbed a pair of shoes to match her skirt and a black purse, after putting a extra lipstick and her cell phone and palm pilot in it she was ready to go.

“You called the caterer right?” she asked.

“Yes,” InuYasha drawled, “everything is set. We just have to send out the invites. I even put the date and time and sealed them so they just have to be mailed.”

“You’re the best,” Kagome said, hugging him, “you get a special treat when we get home.”

“I better,” InuYasha said with a grin.

“Behave,” she scolded as they climbed into his car.

“I always do,” he said cheekily, “now you ready?”

Kagome nodded and they took off.

At the Courthouse

“You guys just barely made it,” Sango said, “and there’s been a new defense attorney added. Suigami’s dropped at the last minute.”

“Who is it?” Kagome asked, looking around.

“Me.”

A.N. YAY! YOU HAVE TO REVIEW!
JUST KIDDING!

“MIROKU!” Kagome and InuYasha both practically screamed.

“One in the same,” he replied with a smooth smile, “it would seem that my professor wants me to take a case on my own so I’m here. He’ll be supervising and everything… but it’s my case.”

“Why would they let that go?” Kagome asked, “isn’t it a conflict of interest or something like that? Your wife is the other lawyer and I’m the one suing your client.”

Miroku shrugged, “you watch way to much Law and Order. But I don’t think it’s a problem because we’re not really family and Sango isn’t the one doing the suing she’s the prosecutor.”

Kagome nodded, “well this ought to be a fun day.”

InuYasha nodded and they went into the courthouse.

One Hour Later

“Any new witnesses?” the judge asked, looking at Miroku expectantly seeing as he was a law student he needed to know everything.

“I call InuYasha Taisho to the stand,” Miroku proclaimed, -dramatic intake of air from the ‘audience’-

As InuYasha walked up to the podium he smirked at Kagome and gave the jury a award winning smile before sitting down.

“Mr. Taisho,” he started, “is it true that you and Kagome are a ‘fashion forward couple’?”

“In a sense yes,” InuYasha said, “we are the heads of a photo department in the magazine I co-own.”

“So you are part of the ‘media scene’?” Miroku stabbed.

“Technically,” InuYasha replied coolly, “but we do not photograph or write articles for a tabloid like Mr. Suigami.”

He nodded, “have you ever noticed Mr. Suigami around you or your fiancé?”

“No I haven’t,” InuYasha answered truthfully.

“Not once while you were out with Miss Higurashi you never saw this man?” he said, reiterating his first question.

InuYasha got smart and decided to play the cute guy with the jury being all women, “No. I could never take my eye’s off my beautiful fiancé long enough to notice a reporter.”

All the women in the room took a collective breath and sighed, making a ‘awing’ sound as they did so.

“What about in my own wedding?” Miroku said, “you said… and I quote… ‘there was a strange reporter who kept taking pictures of only Kagome and I, but I guessed it was just a family member of their’s I didn’t know.’ End quote.”

“That is true,” InuYasha replied, looking Miroku straight in the eye.

“And did you make a gesture for him to leave?” Miroku asked.

“No I did not,” InuYasha replied, “I had no clue who the man was. So I did not question his motives for being at a wedding.”

“What about while Miss Higurashi was in the hospital?” Miroku asked, “did you not hear him or see him while you were in the, waiting room?”

“No,” InuYasha stated.

“No further questions,” Miroku said, knowing he got no where with InuYasha.

“Your witness,” the judge said to Sango.

“Mr. Taisho,” she started, “how long have you been seeing my client?”

“For 4 months,” InuYasha replied his rehearsed line.

“Wasn’t she in a relationship with Kouga Lin?” Sango asked, knowing this would come out wrong.

“Yes she was,” InuYasha replied.

“Why did you two keep a affair secret for two months before she moved with you?” Sango asked.

“When Kagome and I met… personally,” he started, “we got off nicely. Both in separate relationships, and it progressed into a
long term once she went back to Tokyo.”

Sango nodded, “and when did you two decide to come clean with it all?”

“About two months ago,” he said. “Kagome had come home to visit her family and we met at dinner where her mother and my adopted father had us accompany them. We hit it off well and I had to get her back. I knew she was serious in her relationship, but we are right. With Kagome I am truly happy, and with me Kagome has a light in her eyes I’ve never seen her with.” All the women sighed again, and Kagome grinned up at him.

“So you ‘stole’ her away from a serious boyfriend because you were ‘right‘?” Sango asked.

“Technically,” he said, “I knew that if she didn’t want to be with me then it was her right. But I gave her the choice, and Kagome came home with me. Not long after that we got engaged.”

Sango nodded, “and in the time you two were together you never once saw Mr. Suigami?”

“Well I saw him at your wedding,” InuYasha replied, “not knowing who he was. We let him photograph us, but never noticed that he continued to follow us.”

“How did Mr. Suigami get the information that Ms. Higurashi might not be able to have children?” Sango asked.

“I do not know,” InuYasha replied, “we went to the hospital and found that the doctor she saw never told him. We are guessing it might have been a nurse he found, there was never anyone found as to who told him.”

Sango nodded, then turned to the jury, “no further questions your honor.” The judge let InuYasha go sit before Sango started up again. “This is a simple couple in little words. They both work hard and have led rough lives to get to where they are today. Miso Suigami squeezed his way into their lives and published information that was meant to be left at home. Not in the public eye. Kagome Higurashi and InuYasha Taisho are good people, Miso Suigami has almost completely ruined that with his article. The article that posed as one praising this young woman, was really passing around secrets and lies of her. Yes she might not be able to be able to bear a child, but should the whole country know this? No. Do you think this man should be allowed to go around, spreading stories that all in all ruin a entire company? I’ll leave it to you to decide.”

Miroku grinned at Sango as she sat down, “Ladies of the jury. Miso Suigami might have done something that makes him seem sick and despicable, but he is still a man working for his life. He did what he was told and there is nothing illegal about it. I only ask you this, would you prosecute a man doing his job? This man didn’t spread lies… many. This man didn’t put anything that wouldn’t be found out later by someone else. I have nothing more to say. I just hope you think hard about what you will do.”

Miso had a grim expression, he knew that no matter how pathetic the case seemed, he still would loose because of the women on the jury. Nobody wants a man to continue journalism after publishing a story like that. It’s not even gossip, it’s a families lives set out for the entire country to see.

“The jury will no deliberate,” the judge announced, “we will recess until that time.”

As they left the courtroom, Miso approached Kagome and InuYasha who were talking quietly to Sango.

“I want you to know I never meant to make any bad movements on your part,” he said, his nasally voice bothering them deeply, “I just did my job.”

Kagome and InuYasha nodded and watched him walk away towards his boss.

“That man?” Kagome said, “he was asking me questions… question’s that were in the article. About Kouga and whether he hit me, and the marriage.”

“What?” InuYasha asked angrily
“I didn’t answer anything… nothing that could make it any interest. He must be the boss,” Kagome said quickly
InuYasha nodded, “he’s the editor and chief of Miso Suigami’s paper.”

Kagome nodded, “oops.”

“You all may come back now,” the bailiff said.

The recess was short but it was a unanimous decision within the jury. Every person found Miso Suigami guilty. He lost his license as a professional photographer and can’t work for another magazine or tabloid in the country.

THE END!

A.N. And there is the true end of this chapter. I hope it was long enough. I know it was for me. And review! I have to know everything! ENJOY!
ME!
