Summary— Sessh/Kag – Kagome and Sesshoumaru are both Seniors in the same college, only being acquainted once through Inuyasha. Kagome going into Massage Therapy and Sesshoumaru taking over his father's business. What they don't know is that their parents are secretly planning on something that will lead to a very big problem for the both of them.
Chapter 1– Surprise!!
Beep Beep Beep
Kagome's hand reach out to the side of her bed and shut the alarm clock dead. Steel grey eyes opened groggily to morning's bright sunshine shining in her face. She sat up warily before pushing the dark red blankets aside and walking to the bathroom. 'Today is the day.' It was her last day of college before she graduated along with all the others. 'I should be happy about this right? But I'm not. We'll all be leaving each other, going our separate ways.' She sucked in a large breath and exhaled slowly. After brushing her hair and teeth, she exited the bathroom to her closet. 'What to wear, what to wear..' She rummaged through many pieces of clothing before spotting her favorite outfit. 'This'll do perfectly!' She took out a black shirt and the pair knee knockers that went with it. The shirt had black and blood red laces in the front that showed a good serving of cleavage, but not too much that would go into category 'slut'. On the front there was a red vine with thorns that curled around the shirt that stopped between her breasts. At the end of it, was a withered red rose. You could tell it was withering away, because the petals looked limp. The knee knockers were all black with red outlines and many of the same colored red roses embroidered all over. It was a perfect outfit indeed. She had many compliments on it and many stares from both genders.
She quickly put on the outfit and her favorite pair of Adidas. It was only 8:30; she didn't have to be in her classes until 9:30. That gave her an hour to drive and pick up all of her friends. She grabbed her bag and ran downstairs to tell her mom she was leaving. She could hear her mother softly singing in the kitchen and could smell the food she was cooking. Even after being 23 years old, she still liked to live with her mother.
“Good-morning ma~” Kagome said in a sing-song voice.
“Good-morning Kagome dear. I trust you slept well last night?” her mother Sora said sweetly.
“As always,” Kagome smiled.
Sora had a big smile on her face. Bigger than she normally had. 'Hmm, somethings up. She's planning something, I can see it on her face, in her eyes.' Kagome smiled at her mother.
“I have a surprise for you Kagome. That is, when you get home dear.” Sora smiled even bigger. She looked like she was so happy at that moment. 'Well it must be good if she's highly happy about it.' Kagome found herself smiling back at her mother.
“Alright. I'll be home before 8. Is that alright? Oh and, your gonna come to the ceremony tonight right? I think I'm the only who's going to give a speech!”
“Of course dear! I wouldn't miss it for my life!”
“Great!”
Kagome sat up from the table and kissed her mother good-bye. She grabbed her keys from the rack next to the door and headed out. “Love you mom!” she yelled before closing the door.

Outside Sango's and Miroku's house
~
Kagome pulled into Sango's driveway and honked the horn. She didn't have to wait long until Sango and Miroku came outside. Sango walking to her car, and Miroku locking their door. They both were her best friends since Middle school. After they all graduated high school some years ago, Miroku proposed to Sango and of course, she said yes. Some months later they got married, bought a house etc etc. Even though they had a car, they all agreed on having Kagome pick them up. She smiled as they both entered her red Mustang. Sango up front, and Miroku in the back.
“Good-morning you two.” Kagome said kissing her best friend on the cheek.
“Good-morning Kagome,” they both said in unison.
Kagome pulled out and headed off in Inuyasha's direction. “So...” Kagome mumbled. “Today is the day, she groaned
“Your not happy about it Kagome?” Sango said turning her head to face her best friend.
“I am, but I'm not at the same time. Then I won't see your faces everyday. Or have the joy of picking you all up every morning,” she said sadly. “I'm gonna miss seeing you guys everyday. I mean I know we'll be in touch a lot and go out together. But it's still not the same,” she kept her eyes on the road.
“Aww, Kagome!” Sango squeeled. “You shouldn't feel like that hun! We're all the best of friends, and no one can take that away. Right Miroku!”
“Right Sango!” Miroku nodded with a smile.
That made Kagome smile. “I love you guys!” She chirped before putting on their favorite rock station.
~
It was 9:15 when they reached Inuyasha's apartment. He was outside waiting in his usual spot, looking very grumpy. 'He never was a morning person' Kagome giggled silently. There was a time back in high school when her and Inuyasha had something between them. But their love broke away when the new girl came to their school, looking very much like herself. At least that's what everyone said. She didn't think so, she thought they looked nothing alike. Her name was Kikyo. Somehow Inuyasha fell for her, and Kagome, being the kind hearted girl she was, let her love go. Even though it broke her heart, she didn't hate Inuyasha, nor Kikyo. At first, Kikyo greatly disliked her because everyone compared her to Kagome. But the three got together one night and talked. Since then, they've all been good friends. Inuyasha had to set Kikyo straight, that Kagome was his best friend and he did love her. That she couldn't get Jealous over them. She understood and the two made a truce.
She pulled in front of him and growled.
“Took ya' damn long enough!” He bit out. Kagome giggled and honked the horn when he was in front of her car.
“WENCH! WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR!?” He yelled out. The three erupted into laughter.
“Hurry and get into the car Inuyasha. We're going to be late baka!” Kagome laughed.
Sango opened the door to let Inuyasha in. She pulled her seat up so he could fit in next to Miroku.
“Well, here goes the start of the ending” Kagome said with a small frown tugging at her lips.

Graduation Ceremony
~
The five friends all stood next to each other, holding hands. Kagome first, Sango second, Miroku third, Kikyo fourth, and Inuyasha fifth. They each waited patiently for their names to be called. Their palms sweaty from anticipation and nervousness. Sango was the first to go
“Sango Taijiya Houshi,” The announcer called. Sango smiled to each of her friends. And let go both of the hands she was holding. Kagome moved next to Miroku and held his hand. His name was next.
“Miroku Houshi” the announcer spoke again. Miroku did the same as Sango. It was Inuyasha's turn next.
“Inuyasha Takeshi,” he smiled at Kikyo and me. I moved closer to Kikyo and grasped her hand. She smiled a nervous smile. The announcer spoke again.
“Sesshoumaru Takeshi,”
Kagome watched Sesshoumaru walk toward the announcer and take his papers. His face calm and emotionless. She had only met him once through Inuyasha. Kagome had went over Inuyasha's house one day introduced her. She didn't seem to really care. He seemed rather... annoyed.
“Kikyo Kaguya,” she heard the announcement. She looked at Kikyo and smiled. She smiled back. There were a few names called before hers. Some of them made a speech, so it took longer than she expected.
“Kagome Higurashi.” Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She walked up the the stand and told the announcer she was going to make a speech. The man nodded and moved the side. She smiled at the crowd with cameras flashing and small whispers. Nervousness pulled at the pit of her stomach. She pulled the microphone closer to her face.
“Well, where to begin?” She laughed nervously. “ I guess, I would like to thank everyone. Everyone who has helped me get through life these past few years. I'll guess I'll start with my friends and family and then my professors. Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and Kikyo. I want to thank you all for everything you have done for me. For being there for me, for so long. You may think you've done nothing, but you have. You guys have filled my heart with so much love and friendship, and that alone means the world to me. I don't think I would have ever made it this far without you guys. I love you all.”
Sango and Kikyo had tears in their eyes, but smiles on their lips. Inuyasha and Miroku were smiling, with love in their hearts.
“Mom, your somewhere out there,” she looked around the crowd and seen a waving hand in the air with a tissue. Kagome smiled. “I want you to know, your the main cause I'm here right now. Your the reason I'm so motivated in life, and want to keep waking up every morning. Just to see you smiling and singing in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. You've pushed and pushed me. Pushed me to be the greatest that I can be. You are my life, and I love you with all my heart mom.” Most of the crowd went “aww” and many whispers could be heard. “Now, to my professors. Many people think that, when you have a teacher or a professor, they can only be a teacher or professor. I do not believe in that one bit. I have grown to admire, adore, respect wholly and love my professors. Professor Diana, Professor Laughlin, Professor Gorsline, and Professor Sirman. You guys mean so much to me. Over these past few years, you've helped me gain all the knowledge, most of it, that I have. You have been there for me when I wanted to give up, and pushed me harder than anyone else. Even you mom!” The crowd emitted a light laughter. “I want to thank you, for giving me the strength, and the potential that I need to live my life to it's fullest. I won't ever forget you guys, never. And I believe...” she paused “That is the end of my speech.”
Everyone stood and applauded loudly for Kagome. She had tears welling in her eyes, threatening to fall. She didn't hold them back one bit, and they fell freely down her cheeks. She grabbed her papers and headed down to her friends. They all ran to her and had a group hug.
“Kagome! That was an amazing speech,” Sango said, tears in her eyes.
“Heh heh. The funny part is, I didn't even write one out!” Kagome and the rest laughed. “Yeah, it just came and I said it. But what it really that good?”
“It was fantastic Kagome,” a familiar voice said. Kagome turned around and her Four teachers were standing there, smiles gracing their lips.
“It really was something Kag,” Professor Diana said ruffling her hair.
Professor Laughlin skipped over to her and gave her a big hug. “Kagome, you have a great life. Be free and have fun! You have my phone, my e-mail, and my address. You better stop by once in a while and say hi woman!”
“Yeah!” Her other Professors said.
“I will! I promise!” She smiled and more tears slid down her face. Tears of happiness. Maybe this day wasn't so bad after all.
~
It was about 5 p.m Kagome concluded. Now, it was time to party! She would have liked to party the whole night, but she told her mother she would be home around 8. After leaving their college, her little group of 5 went down to to their favorite club, Venom and had a few drinks. She was the only one that didn't get wasted, she still had to meet with her mom. It was about 7:30 and she needed to get going.
“Hey you guys!” She yelled over the music. “I have to go home, and see what my mom wanted, alright? Do you guys need a way home?”
Inuyasha turned his almost blood-shot glazed eyes toward Kagome. She could tell he was a little drunk but not quite there yet. “Nuh! Kikyo's gonna take us home, kay' Kags!” And then he ordered another shot of strait up Tequila.
“Alright you guys. I'll see you tomorrow!” She hugged and kissed all four of them before exiting the club.
~
Kagome got home at exactly 8 o'clock. She walked through the door and called out to her mom. “Ma? You home?”
“In the kitchen sweetie!” She heard her mother's sweet voice.
She walked into the kitchen, definitely not expecting what... who was in there. Her eyes widened considerably before speaking.
“S-Sesshoumaru? Takeshi-san? Whats going on?” [A/N- Taisho Takeshi = daddeh!] Sesshoumaru was leaned up against the kitchen wall, a bored look on his face. He probably didn't know why he was here either.
“Hello Kagome, wonderful speech you gave today.” Takeshi-san said.
Kagome blushed a little. “T-Thank you Takeshi-san,” Kagome gave him a small smile. “So, anou, whats happening?”
“Well Kagome,” Sora spoke. “Takeshi-san and I, have been speaking, and planning for quite a while. And we have made a conclusion that we are going to arrange...” Sora paused for a moment, hoping her daughter's reaction was good. “Your's and Sesshoumaru's marriage,” she finished calmly
“WHAT!?” they both both bolted out in unison.
“WHAT THE... WHY!?” Kagome yelled.
“I refuse,” Sesshoumaru said deathly calm. Anger highly evident in his narrowed amber eyes.
“How could you..mom..” she turned to look at her mother, but couldn't. Tears blurred her vision.
“Oh Kagome hunny, I thought you'd be happy with this!” Sora slowly walked to Kagome and embraced her.
“No no no no, NO! I can't! I don't even know him...” she whispered. “Take it back...” she said dejectedly.
“I'm sorry baby,” Sora cradled Kagome's face “I can't. We already turned in the papers and everything. We thought you two would like it.”
“You told me Love was everything. And that Love came with Trust and then came marriage. Why would you marry me off to someone I don't even know? Better yet, someone I don't love.” she sobbed in her hands.
“You know. I was married off to your father when I was only 17. I didn't love your father. I never seen him in my life before. Never even heard his name. I felt the same way you are feeling right now. I cried in my mother's arms, asking her 'Why?' She sent me off saying it was for the better. And you know what? I soon, very soon fell in love with your father. He was my everything. Only a year later, I had you. I was so happy. That's why I'm doing the same thing for you, because I believe in all my heart, you will be happy.” Sora spoke softly.
Kagome sniffled. She still wasn't happy about this. She looked behind her mother's shoulders and seen a very pissed off Sesshoumaru. Yes, he was very handsome, not even handsome, he was beautiful. He just seemed so cold. That's why she had a problem with this. He didn't seem like the type that could love. But like they always say, 'Looks can be deceiving.' She didn't know she was staring until a set of amber eyes locked onto her steel grey ones. She blushed softly and looked to the floor. She'll just have to give it a try, and so will he.
“Well,” Takeshi-san started, “We have just about everything set and prepared.”
“What do you mean 'everything'?” Kagome questioned. Apparently Sesshoumaru wanted to know also, since he nodded after her question.
“As in, we got you into the jobs you both wanted. And we got you, your house and all the accessories within it. Since you both have your own cars, we didn't bother with that.” Sora said.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru glared at their parents.
“How long have you two been planning this?” Kagome said with anger
“About 6 months” Takeshi-san answered.
Sesshoumaru growled.
“When is the day?”
“The day?” Sora questioned.
Takeshi-san laughed a little “The day of the wedding Sora-san.”
“Oh! Excuse me on that! In 2 months.”
“Why so soon?” Sesshoumaru stated stoically.
“Well, because we've been planning it for so long. We don't want to delay it anymore.” Sora nodded.
Takeshi-san stood up and gave Sora a soft hug. “I think we will be on our way now.” He nodded to Sora and then Sesshoumaru.
“We'll see you sometime soon Takeshi-san, Sesshoumaru dear.” Sora led them both out of the kitchen, but before Sesshoumaru left, Kagome called his name.
“Anou, Sesshoumaru.” He turned slowly to look at his betrothed.
“Yes?”
She slowly walked over to him and held out her hand “You have to help me make this work, yes?” Kagome fidgeted and then looked into his eyes. She waited a few moments before he spoke.
“Yes.”

“Of course dear! I wouldn't miss it for my life!”
“Great!”
Kagome sat up from the table and kissed her mother good-bye. She grabbed her keys from the rack next to the door and headed out. “Love you mom!” she yelled before closing the door.

“Your not happy about it Kagome?” Sango said turning her head to face her best friend.

“Hurry and get into the car Inuyasha. We're going to be late baka!” Kagome laughed.
Sango opened the door to let Inuyasha in. She pulled her seat up so he could fit in next to Miroku.
“Well, here goes the start of the ending” Kagome said with a small frown tugging at her lips.

Graduation Ceremony
~
The five friends all stood next to each other, holding hands. Kagome first, Sango second, Miroku third, Kikyo fourth, and Inuyasha fifth. They each waited patiently for their names to be called. Their palms sweaty from anticipation and nervousness. Sango was the first to go
“Sango Taijiya Houshi,” The announcer called. Sango smiled to each of her friends. And let go both of the hands she was holding. Kagome moved next to Miroku and held his hand. His name was next.
“Miroku Houshi” the announcer spoke again. Miroku did the same as Sango. It was Inuyasha's turn next.
“Inuyasha Takeshi,” he smiled at Kikyo and me. I moved closer to Kikyo and grasped her hand. She smiled a nervous smile. The announcer spoke again.
“Sesshoumaru Takeshi,”
Kagome watched Sesshoumaru walk toward the announcer and take his papers. His face calm and emotionless. She had only met him once through Inuyasha. Kagome had went over Inuyasha's house one day introduced her. She didn't seem to really care. He seemed rather... annoyed.
“Kikyo Kaguya,” she heard the announcement. She looked at Kikyo and smiled. She smiled back. There were a few names called before hers. Some of them made a speech, so it took longer than she expected.
“Kagome Higurashi.” Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She walked up the the stand and told the announcer she was going to make a speech. The man nodded and moved the side.

Sango and Kikyo had tears in their eyes, but smiles on their lips. Inuyasha and Miroku were smiling, with love in their hearts.

Kagome got home at exactly 8 o'clock. She walked through the door and called out to her mom. “Ma? You home?”
“In the kitchen sweetie!” She heard her mother's sweet voice.
She walked into the kitchen, definitely not expecting what... who was in there. Her eyes widened considerably before speaking.
“S-Sesshoumaru? Takeshi-san? Whats going on?” [A/N- Taisho Takeshi = daddeh!] Sesshoumaru was leaned up against the kitchen wall, a bored look on his face. He probably didn't know why he was here either.

“Well Kagome,” Sora spoke. “Takeshi-san and I, have been speaking, and planning for quite a while. And we have made a conclusion that we are going to arrange...” Sora paused for a moment, hoping her daughter's reaction was good. “Your's and Sesshoumaru's marriage,” she finished calmly
“WHAT!?” they both both bolted out in unison.
“WHAT THE... WHY!?” Kagome yelled.
“I refuse,” Sesshoumaru said deathly calm. Anger highly evident in his narrowed amber eyes.
“How could you..mom..” she turned to look at her mother, but couldn't. Tears blurred her vision.
“Oh Kagome hunny, I thought you'd be happy with this!” Sora slowly walked to Kagome and embraced her.
“No no no no, NO! I can't! I don't even know him...” she whispered. “Take it back...” she said dejectedly.
“I'm sorry baby,” Sora cradled Kagome's face “I can't. We already turned in the papers and everything. We thought you two would like it.”
“You told me Love was everything. And that Love came with Trust and then came marriage. Why would you marry me off to someone I don't even know? Better yet, someone I don't love.” she sobbed in her hands.
“You know. I was married off to your father when I was only 17. I didn't love your father. I never seen him in my life before. Never even heard his name. I felt the same way you are feeling right now. I cried in my mother's arms, asking her 'Why?' She sent me off saying it was for the better. And you know what? I soon, very soon fell in love with your father. He was my everything. Only a year later, I had you. I was so happy. That's why I'm doing the same thing for you, because I believe in all my heart, you will be happy.” Sora spoke softly.
Kagome sniffled. She still wasn't happy about this. She looked behind her mother's shoulders and seen a very pissed off Sesshoumaru. Yes, he was very handsome, not even handsome, he was beautiful. He just seemed so cold. That's why she had a problem with this. He didn't seem like the type that could love. But like they always say, 'Looks can be deceiving.' She didn't know she was staring until a set of amber eyes locked onto her steel grey ones. She blushed softly and looked to the floor. She'll just have to give it a try, and so will he.
“Well,” Takeshi-san started, “We have just about everything set and prepared.”
“What do you mean 'everything'?” Kagome questioned. Apparently Sesshoumaru wanted to know also, since he nodded after her question.
“As in, we got you into the jobs you both wanted. And we got you, your house and all the accessories within it. Since you both have your own cars, we didn't bother with that.” Sora said.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru glared at their parents.
“How long have you two been planning this?” Kagome said with anger
“About 6 months” Takeshi-san answered.
Sesshoumaru growled.
“When is the day?”
“The day?” Sora questioned.
Takeshi-san laughed a little “The day of the wedding Sora-san.”
“Oh! Excuse me on that! In 2 months.”
“Why so soon?” Sesshoumaru stated stoically.
“Well, because we've been planning it for so long. We don't want to delay it anymore.” Sora nodded.
Takeshi-san stood up and gave Sora a soft hug. “I think we will be on our way now.” He nodded to Sora and then Sesshoumaru.
“We'll see you sometime soon Takeshi-san, Sesshoumaru dear.” Sora led them both out of the kitchen, but before Sesshoumaru left, Kagome called his name.
“Anou, Sesshoumaru.” He turned slowly to look at his betrothed.
“Yes?”
She slowly walked over to him and held out her hand “You have to help me make this work, yes?” Kagome fidgeted and then looked into his eyes. She waited a few moments before he spoke.
“Yes.”
