'He looks so familiar, wait can it really be…' Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when he turned towards her, and he gasped. "Ka…Kagome?" Kagome's eyes widen like saucers "In…Inuyasha?" Suddenly everything became dizzy to Kagome; she felt her legs start to give out. Inuyasha didn't waste any time, and in less then a second he had Kagome in his arms just moments before she hit the ground. 'I can't believe it, after all these years she has finally returned to me.' 'My Kagome!" Inuyasha thought as he carried her to the pin striped blue couch. Gently laying her down, he brushed her bangs away from her face. "All these years I've been looking for you, and you come back to me." Inuyasha whispered to her, he then remembered that horrible day.

FLASHBACK

"Inuyasha wait, don't go." Kagome cried clutching his leg in a death grip. "Kagome, I promise I'll come back for you." Inuyasha said with a reassuring smile. The teary eyed Kagome looked up at him "You promise." Kneeling down to her "With all my heart Kag, I gotta go now to make, sure everyone is alright." Giving her one last hug, he turned to Sesshomaru "Take care of her, make sure she doesn't get hurt." Sesshomaru picked up the crying Kagome in his arms "I'm going to Rin's if you need to find us." "Be careful Inuyasha, she needs you." Inuyasha smirked "You can bet I'll be back." He shouted running towards the house.

'That day will forever haunt me, if I had only gotten there seconds before, or I went with the both of you.' Inuyasha's thoughts were cut off when he noticed Kagome starting to stir. 'Was it all a dream, is Inuyasha really my new boss?' Kagome thought with her eyes shut tightly. "Inuyasha?" she said weakly "Kagome, I'm here now, it's going to be alright." She finally opened her beautiful blue eyes, and saw him; tears immediately came to her eyes, as she launched herself into his chest. "Oh Inuyasha I've missed you so much!" A small smile appeared on Inuyasha's face "Same here Kagome, same here." He said wrapping his arms around her, and gently stroking her long raven black hair.

"It's been a long 13 years Inuyasha, where were you?" Kagome said, and new tears threatened to fall. He chuckled lightly "Looking for you of course." Gently rubbing her back in small circles, she immediately calmed down. 'Works like a charm, every time.' He thought, "Kagome, what happened 13 years ago at Rin's house?" She pushed lightly against his chest, to look at him, and sighed deeply.

FLASHBACK

Sesshomaru quickly ran with Kagome in his arms, towards Rin's home. "Sess what about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked worriedly. He chuckled lightly "He'll be fine, for the most is he's to stubborn to let anything happen to himself, and plus he's a full blooded youkai like myself, so I would worry to much." Burying her face into his chest, she thought if her mother, Inuyasha, and his mother as well. Moments later they arrived at Rin's house, just to make sure they weren't seen, Sesshomaru took the back way in. Tapping on the beautiful, white French door, Sesshomaru put Kagome down to stand.

Seconds later a small 12-year-old girl opened the door. She had beautiful chocolate eyes, and semi long black hair. "Sesshy, I've missed you." The girl said lunging herself into his arms for a deep hug. "Hello there Rin, how are you?" Sesshomaru allowed a rare smile upon his face while holding the young girl. Finally releasing him from her death grip hug, she noticed the eight-year-old Kagome. "So whose this cutie, surly not my replacement Sesshy." Rin said with a pouty face. "Of course not Rin, I could never replace you." Placing a hand behind Kagome and gently pushing her forward. "This is Kagome, Inuyasha's girl." Rin smiled widely at the young girl. "Well you two come inside, before it rains."

Closing the door, Rin turned to the two and smiled at Kagome "Would you like some cookies, Kagome?" 'A kid can never turn down sweets.' Rin thought. "Yes, please Miss Rin." A shocked expression crossed Rin's face, "Inuyasha picked a good one Sesshy, and she has wonderful manners." Handing Kagome a plate full of chocolate chip cookies. "Thank you." Kagome said sweetly and sat down at the dinning room table to eat her cookies. "So what kind of trouble are you in Sess?" He chuckled lightly pulling her in for a deep hug "You know me all to well my dear Rin." He sighed deeply "Kagome lives on an ancient shrine, earlier this afternoon it was destroyed." He looked over to Kagome who was happily munching on her cookies. "But we don't know what was the cause of it, it looks like a bomb did it, but there is a stench of youkai all over it." Sesshoumaru suddenly felt an eerie sensation as his inner alarms went off. Perking his ears around the house, the youkai gingerly sniffed the air of the house and frowned in puzzlement. 'Hmm, nothing smells out of place,' Rin's parents came downstairs, when they saw Sesshomaru. "Ah Sesshomaru, how are you?" He turned to look at them. "Fine thank you." Rin suddenly became worried "Sess, where's Inuyasha?" "He's checking the shrine out, he'll be here soon." Rin let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "At least she's safe here." Rin's parents said after hearing the whole conversation.

"That's what you think." Came an evil sounding voice. Sesshomaru immediately pushed Rin behind himself. "Who are you, and what do you want?" Sesshomaru growled lowly, a wolf youkai stepped out of the shadows, and smirked at Sesshomaru. "So you're the youkai the mortals feared so much, you don't look like a challenge to me." Sesshomaru looked at Rin's parents and back to Rin, his eyes told them what to do. "My name is Kouga, and I'm the Wolf Youkai Prince." The youkai said in a cocky tone, and moved forward. "I'm here to collect a young girl, by the name of Kagome." Kagome looked up, and looked over to the person who spoke her name, the Youkai now known as Kouga looked in her direction and smirked. Rin, and her parents took this opportunity to make a break out the backdoor, and didn't stop running until they got to the destined safe house.

"I now see why those two mortals are willing to pay tons of money for her." Sesshomaru made his way slowly over to her hoping the wolf youkai wouldn't notice. "I wouldn't move any closer Sesshomaru." Kouga snapped at him making him freeze. 'I would have him dead by now, but I can't allow Kagome to see me kill it'll traumatize her.' Sesshomaru thought, "Sorry you dead beat wolf, but the girl stays with me." Sesshomaru said proudly. "Really, well I hold some respect for you Sesshomaru, since your father was very powerful, but times are hard, and my pack needs the cash." Kouga smirked and snapped his fingers/claws two times. Sesshomaru heard snarls come from all over the house, in stepped 20 very strong wolf youkai, growling, drooling, and ready for some action. "Once you're done with this no good dog come back home." Kouga said walking to Kagome, and picked her up, making her drop the cookie she held in her hand. She immediately struggled to break freak of his grip, Kouga not liking this pricked a spot on her neck, making her fall into a deep slumber. "Thank goodness I don't have pups, Sesshomaru, don't feel bad she'll be going to a nice family, they might feed her once a week if she's lucky." Kouga laughed evilly. "Boys, do what you were paid to do." Kouga said snapping his fingers once and taking off at the speed of light. All at once the 20-wolf youkai surrounded him, and attack furiously. Sesshomaru could only take so many at a time, which were about 15 wolfs. They left him bloodied weak and ready to die. Kagome awoke the next morning handcuffed to a brittle bed, which felt like it would collapse at any given moment. 'Where am I, where's Inuyasha, where's my mommy, and why am I here?'

"I found a job, right after I got out of College, it was for working here." She turned to Inuyasha, and then I found you again." She quickly broke down, and sobbed Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her in to a deep hug. "Shhh it's going to be alright Kagome." He stroked her long raven hair, and just held her. 'Now that I've found you my Kagome, I'm never letting you go again."

"Well at least you survived these last 13 years." He chuckled lightly "Come on lets get you cleaned up, and moved into your new office." Inuyasha led Kagome into the mini bathroom just on the other side of the office. The bathroom was a nice size, had a closet for extra clothes, a full shower which Inuyasha never used, and of course a toilet, and sink. Inuyasha took a damp cloth and dried her eyes, and allowed her to fix her make up. Kagome exit the bathroom looking refreshed, and good as new. "You've gotten so beautiful, within these past 13 years." Hearing this made Kagome blush furiously. "Come on let me show you, your new office." He said wrapping his arm around her shoulder and leading her out the door and over to the next room. "Kagome, I hope you like it, sorry it's a little dusty Yura never was one for tidiness." Kagome giggled and threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck, "I love it, almost as much as I love you." She said pecking his cheek, lightly. He sighed wrapping his arms around her back.

'Now I remember, 13 years ago I was going to the shrine to confirm to her mother's request of us being betrothed together, but it seems fait had other plans.' He smiled increasing his hold on her 'I won't ever let that happen again.' He leaned down and placed a tiny kiss on her head. "13 years and you're sure you're in love with me Miss Kagome." He chuckled lightly "I always thought of it as a crush, but then I really learned the truth when I saw you again." Inuyasha leaned in and captured her lips, but then regretfully pulled away. "Let me take you out to lunch Kagome. Sesshomaru, and Rin can come as well, it will be like a welcome back party or lunch however you want to look at it as." A huge smile appeared on her face "Sounds great to me, I'm kind of famished anyways, and you better tell me what you've three been up to these last 13 years." He chuckled lightly moving a strand of hair behind her ear "We'll go when you get settled in your new surroundings, and as soon as Sango gets here." He turned around and moved towards the wall, and pressing against it to reveal a door leading to his office. "She should be here soon, I'll come get ya when she arrives, it's really, really good to see ya again Kagome." Inuyasha said stepping through the doorway, and closed the door.
