Chapter 6

“Secretary, would you please let in the girls.” Sesshoumaru said through the intercom.

“Right away Mr. Sesshoumaru.” The secretary responded.

Kagome, Ayame, and Sango walked in Sesshoumaru's office and sat on the couch. Sesshoumaru was in his office chair, Inuyasha sat in the windowsill, and Miroku leaned against the wall. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha. He returned a wink to her. Sango looked at Inuyasha then Kagome and giggled. Ayame just rolled her eyes.

“How was your weekend girls? Are your vocal cords well rested?” Sesshoumaru said while he leaned back in his chair.

“It was alright.” Sango looked at Miroku and he smiled.

“That's good to hear because your voices will hurt for the next few weeks.” Sesshoumaru got up from his chair and began to walk around.

“What do you mean by that?” Ayame spoke out.

“During the next few weeks you will perform as an opening act for Inuyasha. Also in about a month there will be an awards ceremony. Have you girls ever heard of the annual Singers Ball?” Sesshoumaru sat at the edge of his desk.

“Of course, it premieres every year on television.” Kagome said.

“Well you girls as well as Inuyasha will be performing at it.” Sesshoumaru began to walk around again.

“Are you serious?” Kagome and Sango squealed. Ayame sat there and watched them. What good was it for her to perform there if only Kagome was going to be noticed.

“Yes I'm serious. Here's the other part to it. I want to record a demo CD with you, and give them out at the ceremony. After the ball, I am going to record an album with you. The board members have already set a release date for the CD to come out. We are already falling behind so we are going to have to push it. I also want you girls to go on tour with Inuyasha over the summer. Therefore, I suggest you start doing online classes. ” Sesshoumaru sat back at his desk.

Kagome and Sango squealed. Ayame's anger was flaring up. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and he smiled.

“Here's the deal girls.” Miroku spoke, “Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we are going to learn the four songs Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru wrote. We go into the recording studio Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You have Sunday off and then the following Monday we learn the song for the awards ceremony. We also plan to get ya'll in the dance studio sometime that week. I've seen the dance and I got to tell you, it's hard.”

“I have dance classes to teach on Saturdays. There is a recital coming up and I can't miss a class.” Kagome said.

“Is it possible you can move your classes to Sunday?” Sesshoumaru asked.

“I'll try. It's going to be hard to find a room in the studio on Sundays that can fit 25 students.” Kagome was not looking forward to telling this to the studio owners.

Ayame rolled her eyes. She hated listening to Kagome's troubles.

“Will I get to sing lead?” Ayame burst out.

“Excuse me?” Sesshoumaru looked up at Ayame.

“You heard me. Do I get to sing lead?” Ayame was yelling now.

“First of all you need to calm down your voice. You will sing the part you are given!” Sesshoumaru raised his voice.

“You told me when I first signed that contract I was going to be able to sing lead later. Before you came along, I was the leader of this group. Now all I see is that bitch getting all the attention. She can't sing like me and you know it!.” Ayame said this while pointing her finger at Kagome.

Inuyasha was angry. He got up from the windowsill and walked towards Ayame as if he was going to fight her. Sesshoumaru held out his arm and stopped Inuyasha.

“Ayame calm down!” Sango yelled.

“Shut the hell up Sango! You've always been the weak one so stay out of it! You're the worst singer in this group!” Ayame snapped at Sango.

Ayame hurt Sango's feelings. Sango began to cry and she ran out the door. Miroku ran after Sango down the hallway.

“What the hell is your problem? How dare you insult Sango and me like that!” Kagome stood up and looked eye to eye with Ayame.

“What are you going to do bitch?” Ayame pushed Kagome but she didn't fall.

Inuyasha got in between Kagome and Ayame. He didn't want Ayame to hit Kagome. If she did, his inner demon would probably come out.

“That's enough.” Inuyasha said to Ayame with an angry face.

“So I guess your dog lover is protecting you now.” Ayame smirked.

“It stops here Ayame! Get out of my office!” Sesshoumaru yelled.

“It's too late. I'M ALREADY LEAVING!!!!” Ayame stormed out of Sesshoumaru office. She knocked over a cart and pushed papers off a worker's desk.

“By the way, it was me who told the reporters of Inuyasha and you!” Ayame yelled when she got on the elevator. The doors shut and Ayame was gone.

Kagome began to cry. Inuyasha pulled to her close to him and she wept in his chest. Inuyasha kissed her forehead and she looked up at him.

Sango and Miroku walked in the room and saw Kagome crying.

“Ayame just quit.” Kagome said while still in Inuyasha's embrace.

“What are we going to do?” Sango looked at Miroku then Sesshoumaru.

“She'll come around.” Sesshoumaru plopped in his chair and rubbed his temples.

“What if she doesn't?” Sango looked at Sesshoumaru.

“She will, and if he doesn't we'll find some one to replace her.” Sesshoumaru got up from his desk.

“Replace her?” Kagome and Sango said at the same time.

“Don't worry about it girls. You just do what you have to do and leave all the problems to me.” Sesshoumaru walked up to both of the girls and patted them on the back.

“You guys are dismissed. Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and Kagome I expect to see you all on Monday. Keep me informed about the studio Kagome.” Sesshoumaru walked over to his office door and opened it.

“I will.” Kagome walked out the door with Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango.

Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku walked outside to the parking lot. They decided to talk for a couple of minutes since they were in no rush.

“So are you two official?” Miroku said while he and Sango leaned against his car.

“I guess so. It said so in the papers.” Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and pulled her closer to him. They all laughed.

“What are you guys going to do?” Kagome looked at Miroku then Sango.

“I don't know. Probably nothing.” Sango answered.

“How about we all go to the sports bar down the road?” Inuyasha considered.

“Alright. Last one there buys dinner!” Miroku and Sango dashed for the car.

“Come on Kagome!” Inuyasha and Kagome ran to Inuyasha's car. By the time they got in the car, Miroku was pulling out of the parking lot.

“Hang on babe!” Inuyasha put the car in drive and zoomed off.

Miroku and Sango were in the lead. Inuyasha and Kagome were coming up the left side fast. Miroku pressed the gas pedal down more.

“Your Corvette may be fast Miroku, but my Mustang is faster!” Inuyasha pressed the gas pedal harder.

“Woohoo!” Kagome screamed. Inuyasha came up the left side of Miroku again, but this time he passed them.

“How'd they get past us?” Sango looked at Miroku.

“I don't know.” Miroku kept his eyes on the road.

Inuyasha and Kagome beat Miroku and Sango to the restaurant.

“We beat ya'll bad!” Inuyasha said as he got out the car. He walked over to Kagome and put his arm around her waist.

“Don't rub it in.” Miroku said opening Sango's car door allowing her to get out.

“Don't worry we wont order the most expensive thing on the menu.” Kagome said. She and Inuyasha burst into laughter.

“You had better not.” Sango sighed at the defeat.

All four of them walked into the restaurant. They immediately got a seat by the bar.

“Can I get you folks?” The waiter asked.

“Get me and my friend her two beers.” Miroku told the waiter.

“How about for the ladies?” The waiter asked.

Kagome and Sango looked at each other.

“Me and my friend over there would like apple martinis.” Sango and Kagome chuckled.

“Right away. I'll be back to take your orders momentarily.” The waiter turned and left.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome.

“I thought you didn't drink.” Inuyasha raised his eyebrow.

“Tonight is a special occasion.” Kagome leaned over a kissed him on the lips. Inuyasha still wasn't buying it.

“Get a room you two.” Miroku teased.

Kagome drew back from Inuyasha. Inuyasha linked his fingers with hers.

“Kagome I was wondering if I could crash in your dorm for the remainder of the week. I want to let Ayame cool down. After all we only have another week of classes then it's summer break!.” Sango gave Kagome a high five.

“Amen to that. Next year I'm going to take online classes. I'm going to be staying with Inuyasha. He's thinking about getting an apartment.” Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled.

Inuyasha smiled back at Kagome. He squeezed her hand. He was so glad she agreed to live with him.

“Here's your drinks.” The waiter gave Inuyasha and Miroku their beers and Kagome and Sango their apple martinis.

“Thanks.” Sango began to sip on her drink.

“What can I get you?” The waiter asked.

“Cheese burgers all around.” Miroku told the waiter.

“Yes sir. They'll be right out.” The waiter took their menus and walked away.

Kagome sipped her drink. Even simple alcohol drinks were too strong for Kagome. Inuyasha chuckled.

“You sure you want that?” Inuyasha gulped down some of his beer.

“Yes I'm sure.” Kagome sipped on her drink again. She wished she ordered a soda.

“Are you excited for the ball next month?” Miroku looked at Inuyasha.

“Not really. I was nominated for an award.” Inuyasha replied.

“That's great Inuyasha!” Kagome smiled.

“It's not that exciting. Once you've been in show business as long as I have, awards just get boring.” Inuyasha sighed.

“Did you tell Kagome about the song on your new album? Did you tell her about the video? Did you also mention the trip?” Miroku drank some of his beer.

“I was going to surprise her.” Inuyasha shot a death glare at Miroku.

“Well you might as well tell me now.” Kagome was anxious to hear this.

Inuyasha sighed. “You and I are going to record two songs on my new album together. We are also going to record a music video. And…” Inuyasha sent another death stare at Miroku, “You and your singing group are going to go on tour with me in late July.”

Kagome threw her arms around Inuyasha and squealed. Sango gasped in surprise and smiled. People began to look at them and Inuyasha blushed.

“This is so exciting! I can't wait to tell my mom.” Kagome kissed Inuyasha on the cheek.

“Sango, I just wanted to inform you I will be coming also. So be ready for Miroku 24-7.” Miroku reached for Sango's butt. Before he could touch her, Sango smacked his hand.

“Lecher.” Sango kept her eyes on Miroku making sure he didn't try anything funny.

“Here is your food!” The waiter place the burgers in front of each of them.

The four of them were becoming the best of friends. Even though Sango seemed she didn't like it when Miroku groped her, she really started to like Miroku. Sango even stole some of his fries when he wasn't looking.

They all finished their dinner. Miroku and Sango paid for the dinner since the lost the race. Inuyasha and Kagome laughed when they paid the bill.

“Sango are you coming with us?” Inuyasha asked while walking out the restaurant.

“Yea I'm staying at Kagome's place.” Sango said while walking next to Kagome.

Inuyasha and Kagome got into the car. Sango and Miroku walked slowly behind so they could chat a little.

“Well, well, well. Look what we got here. It looks like Miroku got himself a girl.” Inuyasha was looking through his rearview mirrors.

“Go get him Sango! Woo!” Kagome giggled.

“So Sango, what are you going to do now your not a star anymore?” Miroku looked at Sango.

“I want to finish getting my degree. I also want to go to law school.” Sango smiled thinking of her being successful.

“Very impressive. What about your social life?” Miroku asked.

“What do you mean…like dating?” Sango was confused.

“Yea. Are you planning on seeing anyone in the future?” Miroku was reeling her in. He stepped closer to Kagome.

“Maybe, why do you ask?” Sango moved closer to Miroku. There faces were inches apart.

“What would it take for you date me?” Miroku looked into Sango's eyes.

“Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?” Sango smiled.

“Possibly. Would you be willing?” Miroku slithered his arms around her waist.

“I think I would enjoy that. I'll be your girlfriend.” Sango reached up and kissed Miroku.

Miroku didn't fight back the kiss. Sango pulled away from the kiss.

“Inuyasha did you see that?” Kagome giggled.

“Nothing like young love.” Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Kagome face grew red fast.

Sango handed Miroku a piece of paper. “Call me.” Sango turned to walk to the car.

“Will do Sango. Will do.” Miroku put the piece of paper in his back pocket and turned to walk to his car.

-NEXT DAY-

“Kagome…wait…were you going?” Sango was on Kagome's laptop writing a paper for class.

“I'm going to Inuyasha's for dinner. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.” Kagome was hopping on one leg trying to put a shoe on the other.

Kagome wore a green dress that stopped just bellow the knees. It was strapless and showed every curve on her body. She wore her hair down with curls in them. She wore gold hoop earrings and a diamond necklace that once belonged to her grandmother.

“Lucky. I have to write this damn paper.” Sango sighed.

“I promise I'll help you finish it when I get back.” Kagome grabbed her purse.

“Thank you. I need all the help I can get. Don't be out too late.” Sango continued to work.

“Okay `Mom', bye!” Kagome teased Sango as she walked out the door.

Kagome walked outside of her dorm. Inuyasha sent a limo to get her since she didn't own a car. He also couldn't pick her up because he had to help his mom with dinner.

A female demon stepped out of the car. Kagome was frightened by the girl. She had white hair with a white flower in it. She had no facial expression and her skin was as pale as snow.

“This girl is worse than Sesshoumaru. It's almost like she has no spirit.” Kagome thought to herself.

The girl walked to the other side of the car and opened the door.

“Right this way ma'am.” The girl stepped back to let Kagome in the car.

Kagome got into the car. Something about this girl bothered her. The driver closed the car door when Kagome got in. She walked over to her side of the limo and got in. She fastened her seat belt, stated the ignition, and drove off.

“Tell me driver, what is your name?” Kagome looked at the driver.

The driver did not answer Kagome's question. She kept her eyes on the road. Just then the driver's cell phone rang.

“Hello?” The driver answered the telephone.

“Do you have Kagome with you?” An evil voice said through the telephone.

“Yes sir.” The driver answered.

“Good. Call me to give the signal to Kagura.” The evil voice said through the telephone.

“Aright sir.” The driver hung up the phone.

The car was silent for about ten minutes. Kagome had to finally break the silence.

“Who was that on the phone earlier?” Kagome asked the driver.

“The boss.” The driver answered.

“Oh.” Kagome looked out the window. She could tell they were nearing Inuyasha's house. The houses were huge. They all were built along the beach side.

The driver pulled up to a gate. The guard looked in the limo and wavered his hand for them to enter. Kagome gasped. Inuyasha's house might have been the biggest house on 5th street.

The driver parked the limo and got out. She walked over to Kagome's door and opened it.

“Here we are miss.” The driver stood back while Kagome got out. She closed the door behind Kagome.

“Thank you.” Kagome bowed to the girl and walked towards the house. The driver got back in the limo and reached for her cell phone. She dialed a number and put the phone to her ear.

A person answered the phone.

“I have delivered the girl to the Taisho house.” The driver spoke into the phone.

“Very good Kanna. I have one more task for you. I have been doing research. Inu Taisho happens to love peanut butter. This may sound stupid to you, but if you raid the house of all peanut butter he is bound to go to the store to get more. When he gets to the store I will order Kagura to do her job. We will go from there.” The evil voice spoke through the phone.

“Yes Naraku. I will do thy bidding.” Kanna answered Naraku.

“Excellent.” Naraku laughed through the phone.

Kanna hung up the phone. She looked through the window. She had to plan everything at the right time in order to sneak into the house.

Kagome walked up the stairs. Her heart was beating at its fastest rest. Kagome breathed in and then out. She summoned all her courage and rang the doorbell. She waited about twenty seconds before some one answered the door. The door cracked open. A small fox kit opened the door.

“Hello. You must be Kagome. Inuyasha has been talking about you all day!” The small kit smiled up at Kagome.

“Well hello to you too. Yes my name is Kagome.” Kagome smiled back to the child.

“Shippo who is at the door?”

Kagome recognized this voice. Inuyasha walked down the stair and up to the door.

“Hey babe. I've been waiting for you patiently.” Inuyasha pushed Shippo with his foot to the side. He leaned down and kissed Kagome on the lips.

“Ewww!!!” Shippo covered his eyes and stuck out his tongue in disgust. Kagome broke the kiss and giggled at Shippo's facial expressions.

“Don't you have some where to be runt?” Inuyasha bend down and showed a mean face towards Shippo.

“No! You aren't the boss of me.” Shippo yelled.

“I'm not he boss of you eh?” Inuyasha slammed his fist into Shippo's head.

“INUYASHA!” Kagome yelled. Shippo began to cry.

“I'M TELLING ON YOU!” Shippo ran off toward the kitchen.

“Why do you have to be so mean?” Kagome punched Inuyasha on the left arm hard.

“He gets on my nerves.” Inuyasha held his left arm with his right hand.

“That no reason to hit him.” Kagome lowered her voice.

“Why did you have to hit me?” Inuyasha put his arms around Kagome's waist.

“I'm sorry. How about we kiss and make up.” Kagome said in a submissive voice.

“I like that idea.” Inuyasha said in a husky voice. He leaned down and kissed Kagome. Kagome pulled back first.

“Don't I have to meet your parent?” Kagome questioned. Inuyasha was still in a trace.

“Huh? Oh yea right this way. Dinner will be ready soon so I hope you're hungry.” Inuyasha rapped his right arm around Kagome waist and led her down the hallway. Kagome giggled.

Inuyasha lead Kagome to a set of huge double doors. It had a crescent moon in the middle of it. Inuyasha came to the door and knocked on it.

“Come in Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha opened the door with Kagome following him.

“Hello there Kagome. I have heard so much about you.” Inu Taisho got up from his chair and walked towards Inuyasha and Kagome.

“Why thank you. I have also heard a lot about you.” Kagome bowed to the demon.

“I here you are a new addition to my company. It is a pleasure to make music with you.” Inu Taisho motioned for Kagome and Inuyasha to sit down.

“You as well. Your company was the first to actually accept us. Me and the other girls in the group auditioned for many talent agencies across Japan.” Kagome sat down and crossed her legs. Inuyasha sat to her left and placed his right hand on her knee.

“I'm glad to hear that. I pray that our sales will not double, but triple with you girls out there singing.” Inu Taisho looked at Kagome then Inuyasha. There was a sudden knock on the door.

“Dinner is ready.” Izayoi popped her head through the door.

“Mom, this is Kagome.” Inuyasha stood up with Kagome.

“It's very nice to meet you. You're such a lovely girl.” Izayoi walked up to Kagome and shook her hand. “Come let's talk over dinner. I've been in the kitchen all day.” Izayoi led Kagome to the kitchen leaving Inuyasha and Inu Taisho behind.

“So you think she's the one?” Inu Taisho looked at Inuyasha.

“Actually yes. I'm able to smell her mating scent.” Inuyasha looked at his father.

“When do you plan to tell her?” Inu Taisho asked.

“Soon. I don't want her freaking out over something like this.” Inuyasha walked out the door with his father following him.

They both walked into the dinning room.

“Dinner everyone!” Izayoi yelled.

Shippo and his parents walked into the dinning room followed by Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru and Inu Taisho sat on the heads of the table. The maids helped Izayoi place all the food on the table. Shippo and his parents sat on one side and Kagome, Inuyasha, and Izayoi sat on the other.

“Darling would you do the honors of cutting the turkey?” Izayoi looked at her husband and smiled.

“I would love to. Oh Shoichi and Suzume, have you met Kagome?” Inu Taisho said carving the turkey.

“I don't believe we had. It's nice to meet you. We are Shippo's parents. We travel from Kyoto.” Shoichi (father) answered. Both of them bowed their heads.

“It's nice to meet you too. I am from Tokyo. I'm here in Kamakura for school.” Kagome selected the food she wanted to eat and placed it on her plate. By then they were all eating.

“Do you attend the university here in Kamakura?” Inu Taisho asked.

“Yes, I live on campus.” Kagome sipped on her water.

“What do you major in?” Izayoi looked at Kagome.

“Kami! They are throwing every question they have at me!” Kagome thought. “I major in Medical Technology. I've always have had a passion to help people.” Kagome looked back at Izayoi.

“Impressive. Do you do any extra activities?” Inu Taisho asked.

“I teach a dance class for children.” Kagome sipped on her water more. She didn't like all the tension.

“Kagome is a really good dancer. She knows everything from jazz to hip-hop.” Inuyasha blurted out.

Kagome mouthed “thank you” to Inuyasha. He had jus saved her from 100 questions from Izayoi and Inu Taisho. The remainder of the dinner was nice. There was occasional chatting.

“Inuyasha, why don't you and Kagome join me and your father in the sun room?” Izayoi got up from the table with Inu Taisho. He protectively put his arm around his wife's shoulder.

“We would love to father.” Inuyasha got up from the table. Kagome followed him closely into the sun room. Izayoi and Inu Taisho sat on a love chair on one side of the room. Inuyasha and Kagome sat on the couch on the other side of the room.

“Would you two like some wine.” Izayoi looked at Inuyasha then Kagome.

“No thank you. I have decided not to drink since the incident yesterday.” Kagome looked at Inuyasha. They both laughed.

“I would like some mother.” Inuyasha continued to laugh.

“What happened yesterday that was so amusing?” Inu Taisho raised his eyebrow.

“Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and I decided to go to the sports restaurant yesterday after the blow over with Ayame. Miroku and I ordered our usual beers. Kagome decides to be bold and ordered an apple martini. Even a simple alcoholic drink like that was too strong for Kagome. Thank kami she didn't drink the whole thing. If she did, she would be worse than me when I'm drunk.” Inuyasha and Kagome laughed even harder. Izayoi giggled while Inu Taisho kept a straight face.

Inuyasha and Kagome saw that what seemed amusing to them wasn't to Inu Taisho. There hard laughter became sarcastic giggles.

“Oh come on honey, they were having fun.” Izayoi playfully shook her husband.

“Indeed. So tell me Kagome, what attracts you to my son? Do you plan to have a deep relationship with him?” Inu Taisho was beginning to have second doubts about Kagome.

“With all due respect father, that is Kagome's and my business.” Inuyasha answered before Kagome could. He didn't like his father asking 1 million questions.

“I understand Inuyasha, but for my company's sake I have to know these things. I wouldn't want you dating another woman like the last one you dated.” Inu Taisho looked at Inuyasha with a `father knows best' face.

“Sir, I care for your son very much. I would never hurt him in any way. If I did, I would never be able to forgive myself. I don't know about Inuyasha's last girlfriend, but she missed out on a great guy. I'm thankful that I have Inuyasha, he's one of the best friends I have ever had, and I admire his heart more than anything in the world” Kagome linked her hands with Inuyasha and looked up into his eyes. Inuyasha smiled at her and placed a soft kiss on her cheek which meant `thank you'.

Both of Inuyasha's parents smiled. Inu Taisho was particularly proud of Inuyasha. His son had found such a smart and strong woman. All Inu Taisho wanted to hear from Kagome was that she loved him. She might not have said the word `love', but he knew she meant it. Inu Taisho wanted the best for his son, after all he wanted grandchildren. He knew Sesshoumaru wasn't the type for marriage and he knew he wouldn't see grandchildren from him for a WHILE.

“Inuyasha why don't you give your guest a tour of the house. I bet she wants to know how much stuff is in the place.” Izayoi smiled at her son.

“Alright.” Inuyasha got up and bowed to both of his parents. He linked his hand with Kagome's and led her out the room.

Izayoi got up and walked behind the couch. She places her arms around Inu Taisho's neck and gave him a sweet kiss. She pulled back and then placed a small kiss on his forehead.

“We have raised our son into a fine gentleman.” Izayoi said as she smiled down at her husband.

“Yes we have. No all we have to do is find Sesshoumaru a girl like that.” Inu Taisho and Izayoi laughed.

“How about we go upstairs and test how fine of a gentleman you are.” Izayoi whispered in her husband's ear.

“After I eat a peanut butter sandwich.” Inu Taisho gave a puppy dog pout meaning `Please? Can I have some?'

“You and your peanut butter.” Izayoi sighed. “Alright but don't take too long. I'll be waiting in our bedroom.” Izayoi said in a sexy voice.

“I'll be there.” Inu Taisho reached up and gave his wife a tender kiss on the lips. Izayoi went upstairs to their bedroom while Inu Taisho went to the kitchen to look for his favorite after dinner treat.

Inuyasha opened the door to his room. Kagome gasped when she walked in. Inuyasha's two dogs rushed up to Kagome to greet her. Kagome petted each dog on the head and walked up to Inuyasha.

“So this is your room.” Kagome looked around the room. She noticed he had instruments and music all around the room.

“Yep. My own little piece of heaven.” Inuyasha plopped onto the bed. Kagome walked up to the bed kneeled down beside him.

“How many instruments do you play?” Kagome looked around the room once more.

“A lot. I play the sax, drums, guitar, piano, and violin.” Inuyasha turned his body so that he was facing Kagome.

“I play a little guitar myself. I never finished learning though.” Kagome grew sad. Her father began to teach her to play before he died. He never finished though because he died.

“I'll teach you.” Inuyasha extended his arm and held Kagome's hand. He sat up on the bed and scooted towards the edge. He grabbed Kagome's other hand and rested them on his chest.

“Really? I haven't played in a long time. I don't remember everything.” Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's golden orbs.

“Yes, anything for you. If you want something I'll give it to you.” Inuyasha stroked her cheek gently. He smiled down at Kagome.

“Thank you; you don't know how much this means to me.” Kagome smiled back at Inuyasha.

“No problem babe.” Inuyasha leaned down and kissed Kagome. Kagome and Inuyasha's kiss became a make-out session. Shippo entered the room and gave a disgusted look.

“You two are at it again!” Shippo stuck out his tongue.

Inuyasha pulled back and looked at Shippo. He did not let Kagome escape from his embrace.

“Don't you have to play with you dolls runt?” Inuyasha looked down at Shippo with a `go away' face.

“I don't play with dolls! I'm not five you know!” Shippo argued.

“Yeah yeah. Come hear!” Inuyasha let go of Kagome and walked up to Shippo. He grabbed Shippo by the tail and held him so that they were eye to eye. “Why don't you be a good demon and leave me and Kagome alone.” Inuyasha kept his eyes on Shippo.

“Just because your my cousin and ten times bigger than me does not mean I can't kick your butt.” Shippo tried to take a swing at Inuyasha, but he couldn't reach him.

“I wouldn't be talking so tough right know. I could knock you out any second.” Inuyasha balled his hand up into a fist.

“Inuyasha! Put him down!” Kagome came up behind him and punched his on the shoulder. Inuyasha put him down on the ground while mumbling under his breathe.

“Next time you won't have Kagome to protect you.” Inuyasha gave Shippo an evil smile.

Kagome sighed and sat on the bed. Inuyasha acted like a child when he was arguing with Shippo.

“Kagome thank you from saving me from this immature puppy!” Shippo stuck his tongue out at Inuyasha.

“Get out before I really hurt you!” Inuyasha raised his first again.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome snapped at him.

“Oh and Inuyasha…” Shippo kicked him and ran out the room.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled as he started to run after Shippo. Inuyasha halted and poked his head out the door.

“Kagome, you let him get away!” Inuyasha walked back in the room with a pout on his face.

“That's right. You shouldn't bully children that are younger than you around. If you had children of your own I bet you wouldn't want them to be bullied around.” Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and put her arms around his waist.

“Children of my own?” Inuyasha looked down at Kagome at lifted one eyebrow. He smiled down at Kagome and she started to blush.

“I'm just kidding doll.” Inuyasha leaned down and kissed Kagome on the forehead. Kagome hugged his tighter. She loved moments like this.

“Am I interrupting anything?” There was a knock on the door. Inuyasha turned around and saw his father standing in the doorway.

“Inuyasha, I'm going to the store. I want you to come with me.” Inu Taisho looked at Inuyasha.

“Alright Dad. What about Kagome?” Inuyasha looked at his dad then Kagome.

“I'll stay here. I have to ask your mom for a couple of recipes.” Kagome said.

“Alright. I'll be right back.” Inuyasha leaned down and gave Kagome a peck on the lips. He walked out of his room and followed his father down the hallway. Kagome walked down to the kitchen were Izayoi and Suzume were. Shippo later came in the kitchen looking for Kagome. Shippo and Kagome instantly became the best of friends.

Kanna sat in the limo and saw Inuyasha and Inu Taisho walk out of the door. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed her boss's number.

“Yes Kanna.” Naraku answered the phone.

“They just walked out of the house. I will be at the store in ten minutes. Kagura can take her stance now.” Kanna spoke into the phone.

“Good Kanna. You have done your job well. Now don't take too long.” Naraku hung up the phone.

Kanna put the phone into her pocket. She opened her car door and got out. She walked to the back door and opened it. Inuyasha and Inu Taisho got into the limo. Kanna shut the door when the got in. She got into the front seat and drove off.

“Inuyasha I am really proud of you son. You have met a wonderful girl.” Inu Taisho patted his son on the shoulder.

“Thank you father. That means a lot coming from you.” Inuyasha smiled at his father.

“Now when will I expect my first grandchild?” Inu Taisho teased his son.

“Dad! Kagome's not a demoness. You don't court humans for a week and then ask them to marry you. Humans take longer times then demons to fall in love. I probably will date Kagome a couple more months before I ask her to marry me.” Inuyasha looked at his father.

“I'm sorry son. I'm getting older every day. You and Sesshomaru are grown men now. I hope that I will be able to see a grandchild before I pass into the next world.” Inu Taisho grew sad at the thought of death.

“Don't talk that way Dad.” Inuyasha looked at his father.

“You're right son. Oh, here we are.” Inu Taisho looked out the window. They had arrived at the store. Kanna pulled into a parking spot and Inu Taisho got out the car. Inuyasha watched him walk into the store.

Inu Taisho got what he wanted and went to the cashier to pay for it. Kagura saw Inu Taisho in the store and loaded her shot gun. She made sure she kept focus on Inu Taisho. Inuyasha saw his father walk out of the store with a paper bag. He was ten feet away from the limo.

BAM!!!!!!!!!!

Inu Taisho fell to the ground.

“DAD!” Inuyasha ran out of the limo up to his father. Tears were running down his face. Kanna pulled out of the parking lot leaving Inuyasha stranded.

“SOMEBODY HELP! MY FATHER HAS BEEN SHOT! OH KAMI!” Inu Taisho's blood soaked Inuyasha's hands and clothes. One of the store owners ran out the store while the other called the ambulance.

“DAD YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. DON'T GIVE UP ON ME.” Inuyasha cradled his father in his arm.

“Inuyasha? Inuyasha! We got here as fast as we could.” Kagome ran up to Inuyasha and gave him a tight embrace.

“Inuyasha how is your father? What have the doctors said?” Izayoi rushed up to Inuyasha and grabbed his arm.

“I don't know yet. They are doing everything the can to save him.” Inuyasha hugged his mother.

“Why did you let this happen? Leave it to a hanyou to mess everything up!” Sesshoumaru slammed Inuyasha against the wall. Sesshoumaru's inner demon was showing. His eyes became blood shot red.

“Sesshoumaru release Inuyasha! It wasn't his fault!” Izayoi yelled.

Sesshoumaru released Inuyasha. Izayoi was right, it wasn't Inuyasha's fault. Sesshoumaru's eyes turned back to normal. He sat in a chair across the room and rubbed his temples.

“Is this group related to Inu Taisho?” The doctor walked up to the group. They all gathered around him.

“How's my husband? Will he be okay?” Izayoi rushed up to the doctor.

“Your husband is in critical condition. We have done all we could. He only has a couple of minutes left. He wishes to see his two sons, wife, and a young lady by the name of Kagome.” The doctor bowed his head in sorrow.

Izayoi burst out into tears. Inuyasha held his mother to his chest and let her cry. Kagome held her hand over her mouth and looked away. The doctor led them to the room Inu Taisho was in. Sesshoumaru knocked on the door and then opened it.

“Come in, come in.” Inu Taisho lay in the bed with a small smile on his face. He had barely enough energy to speak.

“Darling!” Izayoi rushed to his side immediately. Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Kagome walked to the other side of the bed.

“Izayoi it's alright. I only have a couple of minutes so I want each of you to hear me.” Inu Taisho held his wife's hand and kissed it.

“Sesshoumaru, you are now the head of the Taisho family. Take care of my mate as if she was your real mother.” Inu Taisho looked at his eldest son.

“Yes father. I am honored.” Sesshoumaru bowed to his father and the stepped back.

“Izayoi, live strong. I love you with all my heart. I will be with you always even in your dreams.” Inu Taisho kissed Izayoi's palm.

“Yes my darling.” Izayoi leaned down and kissed Inu Taisho for the last time. She pulled back and rubbed her hand against his cheek. She smiled at Inu Taisho.

“Inuyasha my son. You have proven yourself to be a man. I want you to hold on to this woman. I can tell that one day you two will have beautiful pups to love and cherish.” Inu Taisho looked at his son and smiled.

“Yes father. You will be able to look down from the heavens at your grandchild.” Inuyasha smiled at his father. His arm was protectively around Kagome's shoulder.

“Kagome, come closer child.” Inu Taisho reached out for her to give him her hand. Kagome obeyed and gave him her hand.

“You are a strong woman yourself. I want you to take care of my son over there. You told me you cared a lot for him.” Inu Taisho smiled Kagome.

“Yes sir.” Tears were swelling up in Kagome eyes. This reminded her of her own father's death.

“Love is something that I know you will discover shortly. You and Inuyasha will have your fights from time to time, but promise me you'll think of love before anger…” Inu Taisho could feel pain from where he was shot. He could tell these were his final moments.

“Darling!” Izayoi held his hand tighter.

“I give my blessings to you all. I can now die in peace because I am around the people I love…” Inu Taisho looked at each of them one more time. His vision was becoming a blur.

“Father.” Sesshoumaru walked over to Izayoi and let her cry on his chest.

“I promise Mr. Taisho. I promise.” Kagome released his hand and went to Inuyasha. Inuyasha opened his arms welcoming her into his embrace. Kagome cried into Inuyasha chest. Inuyasha bowed his head in sorrow.

Inu Taisho blurry vision became darkness. His steady breathing became short breaths. His heart slowed until it came to a complete stop. Sesshoumaru looked at his father. He was going to find out who did this to his father.

“Father I promise I will avenge your death.” Sesshoumaru thought to himself.

“Come on lets go home.” Inuyasha lead the group out of the room. He could hear his mother still weeping. He felt sorry for her. He knew she would be crying for days and days.

“Dammit!!!” Inuyasha walked into his room. He kicked the music sheets that were on the floor. Kagome watched him from the doorway.

“One minute my father is alive, the next thing you know he's dead!” Inuyasha sat at the edge of his bed with his face in his palms.

“Don't beat yourself up.” Kagome sat on the bed behind him and wrapped her arms around his chest.

“I watched him fall to his knees. I can still smell his blood on my hands.” Inuyasha looked at his hands. He looked away; he couldn't stand the scent of blood.

“I know how you feel Inuyasha. I lost my dad when I was seven. I could never forget his death. I know my dad wouldn't want me to be sad or live in the past, so I moved on.” Kagome held him tighter.

Inuyasha gasped. Kagome was right. His father told him to hold on to Kagome, and that is what he was going to do.

“Thank you…” Inuyasha said softly.

“For what?” Kagome released Inuyasha.

“For your kindness. Kagome, you're the first person who's ever listened to me.” Inuyasha turned and faced Kagome. “Can I ask you a question Kagome?”

“Anything.” Kagome looked Into Inuyasha's sorrowful eyes.

“Can you stay with me? Just for the night?” Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ear. Kagome face grew red.

“Umm… what do you mean?” Kagome face was still red.

“Like the night we were stuck in your dorm.” Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He realized he asked her the wrong thing, but meant something else. Kagome smiled.

“Anything for you babe.” Kagome looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha kissed Kagome passionately. Kagome pulled back from the kiss and lay down on the bed. Inuyasha lie down next to her and put the covers over them. Kagome was surprised what happened next. Inuyasha began to cry.

“It's okay Inuyasha. That proves you have a good heart.” Kagome let Inuyasha cry into her chest. It's the least she could do since he let her cry into his chest when she cried.

-NEXT DAY-

Inuyasha woke the next morning with nobody next to him. He sat up in the bed and stretched.

“I wonder were Kagome went.” Inuyasha got out the bed. He stuck his nose in the air looking for Kagome's scent. “At least she's still in the house.” Inuyasha thought to himself. He walked into his bathroom and looked into the mirror.

“Nothing like morning hair dues.” Inuyasha chuckled to himself. He shook his head like a wet dog would shake its body. He brushed his teeth then washed his face.

Inuyasha decided to put on some black sweatpants and a red t-shirt because he fell asleep in his dress clothes the previous night. Inuyasha stretched on last time then walked out his room. He walked down to the kitchen because his stomach was growling.

When he walked in, there stood Kagome reading the newspaper while eating a bagel. She was leaning over the counter because she didn't feel like sitting in a chair.

“Well hello hello. Look who's down here.” Inuyasha walked up to Kagome and kissed her on the cheek.

“Hey sleepy dog. I thought you would never get out of the bed. It's almost 12:00.” Kagome put down her bagel and turned to face Inuyasha.

“I really missed you this morning.” Inuyasha slithered his arms around Kagome's waist. He had her against the counter. He leaned down and kissed her neck then her jaw.

“Well I'm here now.” Kagome looked at him and smiled.

“I can also see you slipped into my clothes.” Inuyasha looked to see what she was wearing. She had on a pair of his sweatpants and one of his button down long sleeve shirts.

“It was all I could find. Have you ever looked in your closet?” Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck.

“Yeah. It looks like a battle field.” Inuyasha laughed. “Did I ever tell you how much I enjoy your scent?” Inuyasha picked Kagome up and set her on the counter top. He dug his nose into her neck and inhaled her scent. This tickled Kagome. She began to giggle and squirm around.

“That tickles!!! Stop it!” Kagome's giggles became laughter.

“No way. I know your weakness now.” Inuyasha dug into Kagome's neck again. Inuyasha started to kiss her neck. Her laughter soon turned into moans. “You like that don't you.” Inuyasha said in a husky voice. He continued to kiss Kagome's neck. He moved up her jaw line to her mouth. He kissed her fully on the lips. Kagome pulled herself closer to Inuyasha deepening the kiss. Inuyasha slipped a tongue into Kagome's mouth. Kagome could hear a growl rumbling in his chest. Inuyasha let his hands roam up and down her back. Sesshoumaru walked into the kitchen with a disgusted face. He thought it was very rude for the two `lovers' to be making out on the counter top.

“Good morning to the two of you!” Sesshoumaru saw Inuyasha and Kagome. The instantly broke away from their kiss and looked in opposite directions. Kagome's face was completely red.

“Why are you so dressed up?” Inuyasha backed away from the counter allowing Kagome to jump down off it.

“We are going to read father's Will today” Sesshoumaru opened the fridge and pulled out a carton of milk. He poured himself a glass and then put the carton back in the fridge.

“What do you mean `we'?” Inuyasha raised his eyebrow. Inuyasha placed his right arm over Kagome's shoulder.

“You, your mother, and me. I'm sorry to say Kagome can't come.” Sesshoumaru gulped down his glass of milk. Inuyasha looked at Kagome with a `sorry' face.

“I have to go back to my dorm anyways. I have a final tomorrow and then no more school.” Kagome smiled up at Inuyasha.

“I forgot tomorrow was your last day. Do you need help moving out of your dorm?” Inuyasha said to Kagome.

“I could always use an extra hand. My mother, brother, and grandpa are coming on Saturday to help me move out. After all next year I will be taking online classes.” Kagome smiled.

“After class tomorrow I'll pick you up. I have to show you something.” Inuyasha smiled back at Kagome.

“Alright. I'm going to go upstairs and get showered. Could you drop me off at my dorm?” Kagome picked up the plate with her half eaten bagel on it. She walked over to the trash can and threw it away.

“Yeah. I'll drop you and then meet Sesshoumaru and my mother at the lawyer's office.” Inuyasha was still leaning against the counter.

“When do you have to be there?” Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru.

“In about one hour.” Sesshoumaru looked down at his watch.

“I guess we better hurry!” Kagome ran out the kitchen. It took her forever to get ready, so she thought it would be better to beat Inuyasha to the bathroom.

“You better not take up all the hot water!” Inuyasha ran after Kagome to get ready.

“See you tomorrow babe!” Inuyasha yelled out his window. He was late for the appointment with his mother and brother. He rolled up the window and drove off fast. Kagome waved goodbye to him as he drove off.

Kagome hummed to herself as she walked into her dorm room. Sango sat on the couch across the room with an angry face.

“Hey Sango! How was your final?” Kagome looked at her friend and smiled. That made Sango angrier with her.

“It was just fine, but the exam isn't what I'm worried about.” Sango was pissed off. Kagome had never seen Sango so angry before. Was it something that she did?

“Then what are you so tensed up about?” Kagome sat next to her friend. Sango scooted away from her. Sango couldn't believe Kagome had really forgotten. “Sango what is the matter with you. Did I do something wrong?” Kagome was confused now.

“YES IT'S SOMETHING YOU DID! Do you remember a little promise you made to me yesterday? `I promise I'll help you finish it when I get back' you said! I really needed help from you yesterday, and what do you do? SPEND THE NIGHT WITH INUYASHA! I guess your boyfriend is more important to you than me! If I get a `D' or lower on this paper my parents will not let me sing any more! Plus, I'll fail the class and I won't get the credit! I'll end up taking the class over! I need to take this class to fucking graduate!” Sango threw stuff across the room. Kagome had never had Sango yell at her like that. Ayame would, but never Sango.

“Number one, I did not sleep with Inuyasha last night. Number two, the reason why I couldn't come back yesterday was because…” Kagome yelled back, but then Sango cut her off.

“I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! Excuses, excuses! That's all you ever give!” Sango stormed out of the room with her belongings.

“Wait were are you going?” Kagome ran to the door and watched Sango storm down the hallway.

“ON A DATE WITH MIROKU. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GOES ON DATES. I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE AYAME WAS RIGHT!” Sango opened the door exiting the building and slammed it behind her. Kagome walked back into her room and flopped on the couch.

“Why the hell is every one so mad at me!” Kagome whispered to herself. She had her face in the palms of her hands crying.

“Ah, here it is.” They lawyer sat across for Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Izayoi looking through his folder. The lawyer pulled out Inu Taisho's Will and placed it in front of him to read it.

“Well, go on and read it.” Izayoi sat in between Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. She held both of her sons' hands because she never thought she would be in a lawyers office reading her husband's Will. When a demon mates, his or her partner share a life bond with the demon. They grow old and die together. If one partner is killed, then the bond breaks. Izayoi who is a human will no longer age as slowly as a demon. Her life expectancy will be like any other normal human.

I Inu Taisho write this Will on March 9, 1974. These are the belongings I leave behind when I enter the next world…

I leave my house and the furniture in it to my wife/mate to Izayoi Taisho. If deceased, the house and the furniture shall be passed down to my eldest son Sesshoumaru Taisho.

My life savings shall be split between Izayoi Taisho, Sesshoumaru Taisho, and Inuyasha Taisho. 50% to Izayoi Taisho. 25% to Sesshoumaru Taisho. 25% to Inuyasha Taisho. If deceased, the money shall be given to Sesshoumaru Taisho and Inuyasha Taisho's children.

I leave any owned cars to my youngest son Inuyasha Taisho. If deceased, Inuyasha Taisho's children shall receive the cars.

Finally, I leave my record company and all its stocks and shares to my eldest son Sesshoumaru Taisho. If deceased, Sesshoumaru Taisho's children shall own the company along with its stocks and shares.

Inu Taisho

3/9/74

The lawyer finished reading the Will. He gave each of them the Will to sign. They each took turns looking over it and then signing it. The lawyer bowed to each of them and then vice versa. Sesshoumaru, Izayoi, and Inuyasha walked out of the office. After all, Izayoi had to plan a funeral for her beloved husband.
