Sesshoumaru stepped out of the car he had hired to pick up Higurashi for the evening. It was a standard town car. He knew there was no need to be flashy.
He made to walk into the tall apartment building when a grumble from behind him turned him completely to face the unexpected visitor.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Sesshoumaru lifted his eyebrow at his little brothers so thoughtful way of greeting him and had to resist the urge to roll his ocher eyes.
'This baka,' he grumbled, believing his luck at the moment had run out if he had the unfortunate fate to meet with him before the party.
He raised his eyebrow slightly at the other man, "what are you doing here? And why are you dressed like you are about to take your bike around the city."
InuYasha smirked slightly before he grumbled at his brother, "what the hell is it to you?"
Sesshoumaru only stared at the man in front of him, "you do know that tonight –"
InuYasha waved his hand in front of the other man, "Yeah, yeah," he replied as he rolled his eyes, but then he started to walk into the apartment building leaving his brother to stare after him.
Sesshoumaru watched as he turned to the elevators and tapped his foot impatiently, before he pushed the door to the stairwell harder then need be.
He felt a smirk play on his face as he turned to the phone, "so it is her."

"I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
Kagome turned to her phone and tried to answer it before it went to voice mail. She looked to the phone and was mildly surprised to see it was an unknown number, but for once, decided to answer it.
"Hello."
"Miss Higurashi," the calm voice greeted her.
Kagome felt her cheeks flush as she thought about her sensei, "Takahashi Sensei."
She could hear the slight smile in his voice, "no need for formalities tonight, Kagome. Call me Sesshoumaru."
She blinked in surprise, as her cheeks immediately dusted in the light pink as was their custom. Her pause was fast. Her mouth hung open a moment. "Sesshoumaru," she corrected quickly. She knew that the man on the phone was not one she wanted to let down.
"Good, well, I was about to come up to accompany you to my car, but something has come up, and I must take a call. Would you care to meet me down in the lobby?"
Kagome quickly shook her head, "No, that should be fine."
"Good," he replied. "I will see you down here in a few minutes then."
Kagome hurried to agree, "Yes, Takaha – I mean, Sesshoumaru," she was glad the blazing flush on her cheeks was not visible to him at the moment.
"See you shortly."
And with that the phone went dead.

Deciding to ignore his brother instead of playing in his plot that no doubt ended with him making an ass of himself, he strode into the tall apartment building with the white box securely under his arm.
He made his way to the elevator and had to grumble when it was located on one of the upper floors, and he immediately began the unnerving twitch of his foot.
It seemed like everything he had planned for today kept getting detoured.
'First the conversation with Miroku and then Sesshoumaru,' InuYasha grumbled to himself.
He was a little more at ease when the elevator began to move down only to stop on the floor below.
"Fuck this," he huffed and made his way to the stair well.
He ran as fast as would possibly be expected for mere humans to be capable, but when he was sure there was no one, he went a little faster.
With little energy expended, he finally made it to her floor, and when the door flew open, he took in a deep breath and was not disappointed to catch her scent.
He smiled.
He did not know why after the concert she was pointedly ignoring him. After that kiss, all he wanted to do was make her do it again and again.
But when she saw him at her door, he knew that he would get her to agree to come with him.
No woman would dare deny him.
'She's like putty in my hands,' he mumbled to himself.
He was not unnoted to the smell of her arousal when they kissed, which was why he had let out that moan. It took him by surprise.
He made his way over to the door where her scent was the strongest and knocked.
It only took a few seconds before, "Kagome did you –"
He stood and smiled at the girl. He recognized her. It was one of the girls from Aishiteru. Shimizu.
"Takahashi?"
He could hear the disbelief in her voice.
He felt his eyebrow raise, but did not let the smile waver from his face."Is Higurashi here?"
Rin let her eyes wonder to the ground, "I am sorry, but she just left."
"Left?"
He hated how much emotion showed through when he repeated the word. He did not need any one to know what he actually felt.
She flinched, but she brought her gaze up to look at him, "Yes, sorry. She has a date."
InuYasha felt his eyes widen, but quickly masked his concern, "Oh, okay. Well thank you, Shimizu."
"I will tell her that you stopped by," Rin hollered as she stepped out of the apartment to catch his eyes.
He turned around with a grin on his face, "No, it wasn't important. Have a good night, Shimizu," and with that he made his way back into the stair well.

Sesshoumaru smiled when the young woman made her way into the lobby as he pushed himself off of the black car.
She spotted him, and he was not displeased to see a small blush paint its way across her cheeks.
She bowed to him when she reached his side.
He did not try to hide the small grin that made its way across his face, "The dress looks amazing on you," he told her truthfully.
He loved the way her curves showed just so.
Her eyes widened as the blush deepened, "thank you."
He held out his arm to her, "shall we?"
Kagome nodded her head, taking his arm in hers. Allowing him to dictate the evening, glad for once to take Rin's advice.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
InuYasha made his way as quickly as he could to his bike, leaving the white box in the lobby. He had no need for it.
He caught her scent when he made it to the lobby. It was still pretty fresh. He must have been only five minutes behind her.
'Who the hell is her date?' his mind roared.
He hated when another male tried to challenge him, especially with something that was his.
His toy, of course.
His youkai flared as he caught his brothers scent with Kagome, and his bike roared to life.
Sesshoumaru was in for a good kill when he got his hands on him.
'How dare he touch what is mine!'
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
The ride to their destination went a lot better than Kagome had originally thought. Sesshoumaru was actually not that unemotional once she gave him a chance. He even told her a few things that made her laugh on the way.
"We're here," he told her as he nodded his head towards the place the car suddenly stopped at.
Kagome had to hold her tongue as she looked over the building in front of her. It was huge. It was brilliant. "It is beautiful," she told him out-loud.
He let out a small chuckle. "Leave it to my parents to hold back no expense."
Kagome turned quickly, "this is your parents house?"
The butterflies that she had kept at bay upon seeing Sesshoumaru tonight quelled came back full-force.
He came around and opened the door for her.
She turned around, thinking that he was just behind her but shook her head. 'There was no way he could be that fast,' she chastised herself.
As she stepped out she looked over the large building.
Sesshoumaru sensing her unease, took her small hand in his own and locked arms, "they won't bite," he told her jokingly.
Kagome had to resist the urge to call out for any gods listening to her to kill her as she looked uneasily over at him, "you promise?"
He looked into her eyes, and not for the first time that night, he caught himself getting mesmerized in her azure eyes, "I would not let anything befall you," he told her truthfully. Honestly.
The sound of such awe in his own voice sounding so foreign to him.
She smiled at him as she drew closer to his body. She felt so at ease with him. Not at all like how she felt around another man that Sesshoumaru reminded her so much.
"Take me off to my death then," she grumbled quietly.
He laughed hearing her small plea.
The first laugh he had in a really long time.

Tougaou turned when he caught a new scent hit his nose.
He turned to his mate and touched the tip of his nose, before he signaled that she follow.
They excused themselves from their guests and made their way to the front room.
He knew that he smelled the scent before, but for the life of him, he could not recall where.
Sesshoumaru stepped into his line of view, wearing a black Armani suit with his dark brown hair cropped at the nap of his neck. The fang that bind his youki hidden in that small ornament around his neck.
The small woman next to him though is what gave him pause.
She had worn a light yellow kimono aligned with a pale dusting of sakura blossoms that was held in place with a salmon colored obi. Her hair up in little twist tied at the back of her head.
He turned when he heard his wife gush behind him, "Oh how kawaii is she."
Tougaou rolled his eyes at his wife as she rushed over to the unsuspecting girl, "don't scare the girl, before she has a chance to be properly introduced," he grumbled to his mate, although there was really no detest in his voice. The small grin a true sign of such.
She hardened her eyes at her husband but quickly turned to face the woman, "Sesshoumaru, are you going to introduce us to this beautiful woman?"
The young woman on the receiving end of the compliment flushed prettily.
Sesshoumaru allowed a small grin to reach his lips, which did not go unnoticed by the older man in the room.
"This is Higurashi Kagome," he told his parents as the girl slightly nodded her head in respect.
"Kagome, this is Takahashi Tougaou, my father, and Takahashi Izayoi, my mother."
The woman, his mother grabbed her, "Kagome, may I call you that?"
Kagome's blue eyes widened a moment, before she nodded her head. She knew it was odd for mere strangers to have access to a persons given name, but 'maybe they are foreigners,' she thought to herself. Thinking that had to be the best reason behind the weird behavior.
"Oh good," his mother gushed as she squeezed her in embrace. "It is not every day Sesshoumaru brings a girl home."
"Do not start with this mother," Sesshoumaru started pinching the bridge of his nose.
Kagome felt the blush increase on her face.
"Oh, hush, she is beautiful."
Kagome's eyes widened.
"Izzie, you are scaring the poor girl," his father cut in.
Kagome smiled nervously at the pair int front of her, "no, thank you for the compliments. I am deeply moved by them."
"You hear how respectful she is," Izayoi gushed. "Too bad Inu –"
"Kagome?"
Kagome looked beyond the woman fawning over her as her eyebrows knitted together, "Ayame?"
The red haired girl came over. "I thought I heard you in here," she replied quickly. Her head slightly bowed to Master Taisho as she made her way to her friend.
Tougaou could only look on with a slight upturn of his eyebrow. The situation was only becoming more and more complex.
Kagome looked to the red haired girl, "I thought you and Yoshida were on a date?"
Ayame blushed, "Well, you see."
"Ayame."
Ayame stilled as she heard Master Taisho call her name.
At that moment, Koga walked in, "What is going on?"
Kagome looked over at a shocked Koga.
"That mutt didn't bring you, did he?"
Kagome raised her eyebrow, "Who?"
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Speaking of the baka," Sesshoumaru grumbled as he turned to face his brother. His eye twitching at seeing him still in his bike leathers.
The loud voice gave Kagome pause. She was certain she had heard that gruff timber somewhere else before.
"Ah, and that is Takahashi InuYasha, my brother," Sesshoumaru told her as he stood next to her.
InuYasha looked at her with this fire in his eyes.
Behind her, the Inu no Taisho shook his head, 'so that is how I knew her scent.'

A/N: well, poor Kagome. She didn't see it coming :(
Thank you all for reading and reviewing my story. This chapter starts a new chain of chapters I will be working on. The new direction I will be taking this story is going to be apparent, hopefully.

I am going to try and keep aspects that I feel you all like, but just keep letting me know so that I keep you all happy :)
