Ch 4: Press Conference

 

Kagome didn't remember much from the previous day, all she could remember was arriving from the funeral and going to bed. She lay in bed for a few minutes before getting up and taking a shower. She soon got out of the shower, got dressed and made her way downstairs. She walked into the living room, expecting to find it empty, but it wasn't.

 

“Kagome dear,” Mrs. H says getting up from the couch, “You're awake.”

 

Kagome nodded looking around the room, Mr. and Mrs. Takanashi were both there looking expectedly at her.

 

“What?” Kagome says as she takes a step back, “Look I'm fine, well as fine as I can be.”

 

“We know dear,” Mrs. T says as she hugs her, “we just dropped big news on you right after the funeral.”

 

Before Kagome could respond Inuyasha came busting through the kitchen doors, “I can't believe you guys don't have ramen! How do you survive? Wench! You're awake! Finally! You know I don't have all day to wait on you!”

 

Kagome blinked her eyes a couple of times before realizing Inuyasha was talking to her, “Good morning to you too Inuyasha. Sorry for keeping your majesty waiting.”

 

Before anything else could start Mr. Takanashi stepped in, “Well kids we have to talk about how we are going to do this engagement. I scheduled a press conference to talk about Sam's passing and I believe that there will be the best time to announce the engagement.”

 

“So soon?” Kagome asks stunned.

 

“I know it's soon sweetheart, but we don't have a choice.” Mrs. H says putting an arm around her daughter.

 

Kagome nodded her head as her mother continues, “It'll be fun! We have to go dress shopping and of course we have to find a good house for you both! That reminds me we have to get someone to get your things in Paris and -“

 

“Oh god,” Kagome says putting a hand over her mouth, “Koga”

 

Mrs. H looked quickly at her daughter, her eyes widening, “You have to tell him.”

 

“Who's Koga?” Inuyasha says getting annoyed at the situation.

 

“You have to tell him,” Mrs. H continues.

 

Kagome shakes her head, “I can't, I can't do that to him.”

 

“Honey you must!”

 

“WHO'S KOGA?” Inuyasha didn't like getting ignored.

 

Kagome nods as she turns to go back upstairs, “I know, I'm going to call him.”

 

The adults in the room nod as they turn back to talk to Inuyasha to discover that he's gone.

 

“Where did that boy go?” Mr. T asks looking around.

 

Kagome slowly made her way upstairs as slowly as she could, how could she do that to Koga? How could she break his heart like that?

 

She stared at the phone for a while before finally having enough courage to dial his number.

 

The phone rang a couple of times before he answered, “Hello?”

 

“Koga?”

 

“Kagome? Is that you?”

 

“Yeah, look I-“

 

“Kagome I was so worried! Are you ok? Of course you're not ok! God I wish I could hold you right now!”

 

Kagome smiled, “Me too, Koga look-“

 

“I can't believe it Kagome, your dad's gone-“

 

“How did you know my dad died?”

 

Koga laughed, “You're kidding right? Kagome your father is one of the most powerful men in the world, the whole world knows of his passing!”

 

“I just didn't realize-“

 

“I'm coming to be with you!”

 

“What? Wait Koga,” Kagome takes a big breath before she continued, “I have something to tell you. I-“

 

“What Kagome?”

 

“I- I just need time to be with my family for a while, to reconnect.”

 

“I understand baby, call me when you're ready and I'll come to bring you back ok?”

 

Kagome was chocking back tears, “uh hu.” `I'm not coming back'

 

“Then we can continue our picnic, how does that sound?”

 

This time Kagome sobs got louder, “Koga-“

 

“Shhh its ok baby, go be with your family, I'm here when you need me ok?”

 

Kagome nodded, “Ok”

 

“Alright baby, I love you.”

 

Kagome hesitated before answering, “Me too.”

 

She quickly hung up the phone and buried her face in her pillow. After a few minutes of crying she dried her face and looked in the mirror.

 

“You look like crap,” A voice said behind her.

 

Kagome stared at Inuyasha through the mirror as he leaned against the door.

 

“So,” he says trying to sound casual, “who was that?”

 

“None of your business.”

 

Inuyasha smirked, “You're going to be my wife soon and whatever your business is, it's my business.”

 

“Well dog boy,” Kagome says picking up a brush and running it through her hair, “we're not married yet so you have no business in my business.”

 

“He made you cry.”

 

“What?” Kagome says putting the brush down.

 

“He made you cry, I promised your father that I would protect you, and part of that job is not letting anyone make you cry!”

 

Kagome started fuming, “I am not some porcelain doll that needs protecting, much less from you!”

 

“He must be important.”

 

“Who?”

 

Inuyasha was getting irritated, “The guy you were talking to wench!”

 

“He,” Kagome looks down, “he was my boyfriend.”

 

“Sounds like you guys were pretty serious, he said `I love you' and all,” he frowned, “Feh! Not that I care!”

 

“Were you listening to my conversation? You were spying on me weren't you?”

 

“No! I was uh- AH! WATCH IT WENCH!” He dodged just in time as a vase came flying at his head.

 

“I'm back less than a week and you're already making my life a living hell!”

 

“Don't kid yourself wench! You're not my piece of cake either!”

 

“Get out of my room! GET OUT!”

 

“Feh! Fine! Wench I just came to tell you that they want you to get ready, we're going to be leaving for the press conference in 20 minutes!”

 

Kagome sighed and sat down on her bed, “I'm doing this for you daddy, only for you.” Then she got up and went to get dressed.

 

When Kagome got down stairs everyone was already waiting at the door. All of them filed into the black limousine that was waiting for them.

 

The adults went to the front of the limousine while Kagome and Inuyasha sat next to each other in the back.

 

“Here,” Inuyasha says pushing something into Kagome's hands.

 

“What?” Kagome asks confused looking down at the little velvet black box, “what is this?”

 

“What do you think it is wench?”

 

Kagome slowly opened the box and saw a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

 

“Do you like it?” Inuyasha asks slowly.

 

Kagome continued to look down at the ring, then to Inuyasha and nodded.

 

“Feh, then put it on already!” he says taking the box from her hand, and sticking the ring on her finger.

 

“Thank you.” She says quietly, “but when?”

 

“I got it the day your dad died.”

 

Kagome nodded, “Thank-“

 

“You ready for it again?” Inuyasha asks turning his head to look outside the window.

 

It took a moment to realize what Inuyasha was talking about; he was talking about going back to pretending, to living a fake life. She stared at Inuyasha's profile for a moment noticing that she was being selfish. She had only been thinking about herself, she even forgot that Inuyasha was being forced into the same engagement he didn't want either.

 

“I, uh, I don't know if I can.” She says shaking her head.

 

“You can do it, you're strong, besides, I'm here to protect you wench!” he says quickly grabbing her hand in his.

 

Kagome smiles and looks down at their hands, “You keep saying that you're going to protect me.”

 

He turned seriously to her, “I don't go back on my promises.”

 

They soon arrived at the press conference that was being given at one of Sam Higurashi's biggest companies.

 

Each of them came into the press room, Mr. Takanashi taking the center seat. Mrs. H and Mrs. T were sitting on one side of him, and on the other Inuyasha and Kagome.

 

“Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,” Mr. T began, “thank you for being here. We want to thank you for the respect you have been having in this delicate time for the Higurashi family as well as my own. This marks a time of great sadness and a great man has left our presence. Sam Higurashi was not only a brilliant business man, but a wonderful husband and father, and the best friend anyone could ask for. We all know that he will be missed greatly and his contributions to charities shall not stop, and neither shall Higurashi Inc. In this great time of great sadness, hope and joy has arrived to make Sam's passing a little easier, Inuyasha if you please.”

 

Inuyasha slowly got up with a smile on his face, he turned to Kagome taking her hand in his, “Come on you can do this.”

 

Kagome took his hand also smiling and got up from her seat.

 

Inuyasha took a deep breath before continuing, “I'm happy to tell of you that Kagome and I are engaged!”

 

At that moment the press room went into a frenzy, reporters were all talking at the same time and millions flashes were going off in the room.

 

Inuyasha and Kagome continued to smile as he pulled her closer to him.

 

Mr. T took control of the room once more, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present to you the future, Mr. and Mrs. Inuyasha Takanashi!”

 

The room burst into applause and congratulations.

 

“Show us the ring!” a few of the reporters shouted.

 

Kagome laughed lifting her hand up, giving them a glimpse of the big rock on her finger.

 

“Inuyasha! Kagome!” a young photographer in the front row says, “How bout a kiss for the front page!”

 

At that moment everyone started cheering, KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!

 

Kagome looked nervously around the room then back at Inuyasha. Inuyasha just smiled and looked down at her, “better give them what they are asking for.” He whispers.

 

Inuyasha gently grabbed the sides of her face bringing her to him. He gently kissed her first then pulled slightly back. Kagome's eyes were closed and Inuyasha could not help but kiss her again, a deeper kiss this time. They pulled back slowly and looked at each other out of breath.

 

“Thanks!” the same young photographer says, “that was perfect!”

 

Inuyasha and Kagome quickly waved goodbye to everyone and went out of the room, quickly being followed by their parents.

 

The next day, true to the reporter's word, there was a big headline “Higurashi and Takanashi Unite!” and underneath it there was a big picture of Inuyasha and Kagome kissing.

 

This headline would be seen around the world.
