Strictly Business
Ch 5: When?
 
It was early morning when a figure on a large white bed finally made any movement. The figure rolled on her side, her dark hair sprawling on the bed and clashing with the pure white sheets. Now sleeping beauty wouldn't stay sleeping for long as a loud bang made her suddenly awake up from her slumber.
 
“I thought mom said that Sota couldn't play those damn drums in the morning.” Kagome grumbled as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and brushed her fingers through her hair.
 
It had been a week since the press conference that announced that she and Inuyasha would be married. That week had been crazy, they were doing one interview after another and going to countless events.
 
Kagome mindlessly brushed her fingers along her lips. She was thinking about that kiss again. It wasn't like her and Inuyasha never kissed before, it was just that this kiss was different from the kiss that he had given her when they won prom king and queen or countless kisses before that. This time the kiss was powerful, it was intense, it was different from Koga's kisses, it stirred up a feeling inside of her, and most importantly it stirred up a feeling that she wasn't suppose to feel, especially not with Inuyasha.
 
Kagome sighed and turned on her side, `Why am I thinking about this? It wasn't like he wanted to kiss me, he was pretending that he wanted to. But, he did kiss me again; the first kiss was short, like the ones he had given me before, but the second one, GOD!'
 
Kagome huffed angrily and grabbed the remote from her night table, “I need to think about something else.”
 
She mindlessly flipped through the channels trying to find something to watch, it was her own face that caught her attention on the TV. It was one of those shows like the Insider, or Extra or those celebrity obsessed shows that ran on TV. They were talking about their engagement, showing the picture of them kissing again.
 
“Damn it! Don't they have another picture they could show!” she says as her mind wanders back to the kiss. Shaking her head she focused again on what the show was saying.
 
“Well Tracy,” a well dressed man says looking at is co-host, “many find this engagement fishy. As we all know Kagome and Inuyasha were high school sweethearts, but after they finished high school Kagome moved to Paris and Inuyasha, well Inuyasha lets just say had fun at the New York and LA night clubs!”
 
His blonde co-host nodded, “I have to agree with you John, we can only assume that the relationship ended after high school. We have no reports that the two had any contact while Kagome was in Paris. It makes us wonder if they had a secret relationship! This makes it even more juicy! A secret romance, a low profile, she's in Paris, and he's in New York!”
 
John laughed, “Well lets not get ahead of ourselves Tracy, we have no proof that the two had any contact at all over the year. What we do know is that they are together now!”
 
“And they make an adorable couple! I wonder what their children will look like!”
 
“Well before children they have to settle down the family businesses that they are now merging. This is the main reason that some people are skeptical about this marriage, many believe they are just marring for the merger!”
 
“That's not true! They look like they are very much in love, look at that kiss!” Tracy says pointing out the picture again.
 
Kagome sighed and turned off the TV, “Love? Love my ass!”
 
A knock on her door stopped her from her further babblings.
 
“Sis? You awake?” her brother called from outside the door, “Mom wants you down for breakfast when you get up!”
 
“K Sota thanks, I'm going to take a shower then I'll come down.”
 
Slowly Kagome got up from her bed and made her way to the bathroom. After a quick shower she grabbed a pair of jeans and a black spaghetti strap shirt with black flip flops. Just because she was rich she didn't need to parade around in an all Chanel outfit.
 
She was coming down the stairs into the living room when she saw him, “Fluffy!” She says as she runs into a tall figure with long white hair.
 
The man embraced her spinning her around, “Princess!”
 
Kagome laughed as he put her down, “When are you going to stop calling me Princess?”
 
The man thought for a moment before answering, “About the same time you stop calling me Fluffy!”
 
They both shared a laugh before collapsing on the couch. It was then that Kagome realized that they weren't alone. Inuyasha sat sprawled against the couch and Mr. T sitting in another one of the chairs.
 
Mr. T laughed, “Fluffy! That always cracks me up! When did you start calling Sesshomaru, Fluffy again?”
 
Kagome laughed, “Um I think it started when we were 8, well Fluffy you were 10. We were playing dress up, Inuyasha wouldn't let me put a pink feather boa on him and I convinced Fluffy to let me put it on him.” Kagome stopped her story, giggling recalling the old memory, “After I saw it I just started calling him Fluffy, and I guess the name stuck!”
 
“Well you're the only one that he lets call him Fluffy.” Mr. T says smiling.
 
“Well I guess that I'm just special!” Kagome says smiling.
 
“Feh!” Inuyasha says making himself know, he never liked to be ignored, “Yeah, special ED!”
 
Kagome signed. “Oh real mature Inuyasha, how long did it take you to come up with that one?”
 
“I must agree with Kagome little brother; I think you used that one on me when you were 5.”
 
“Feh! Well since you both are so perfect for each other, why don't you two just get married!”
 
“Well I do wish I could marry you instead of him.” She says nodding her head to an angry looking Inuyasha.
 
Sesshomaru shook his head, “Wish we could, but I already found my Rin.”
 
Kagome nodded, “Where is Rin? I haven't seen her since I left!”
 
“She'll be here later.”
 
“Ok well I'm going to go something to eat; I'll talk to you guys later!” Kagome says as she gets up and makes her way out of the living room, “Oh by the way Fluffy, thank you for my flowers! They were beautiful!” She says as she runs to him and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.
 
“You gave her flowers?” Inuyasha snarled.
 
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes before answering, “Well little brother it was her birthday, May 12? Any of this ringing any bells?”
 
“Honestly Inuyasha,” Mr. T says, “I expected more from you, I mean you did date her for four years, I would at least think you remembered her birthday!”
 
“Will you two just get off my back!” he says while getting up.
 
“Where are you going?” InuTaisho asks getting up from his chair.
 
“Out”
 
“Now Inuyasha that isn't -“
 
“Just let him go dad, he has a few things on his mind. Marriage is a big commitment.”
 
“I know Sesshomaru but we don't have a choice! You more than anyone know that Naraku is getting more powerful by the day. If we don't merge he will destroy both our companies. Its asking a lot from them and I hope that one day they will forgive us.”
 
“He will dad, don't worry about it. They both will, Inuyasha is a good person, deep down, really deep down, like deeper than the grand canyon deep, deeper-“
 
“I got it Sesshomaru, now let's go, we have some papers to sign.”
 
Kagome had been eating her cereal quietly when her mom came in.
 
“Good Morning dear, did you sleep well? Well tonight you and Inuyasha have another charity event to go to. I was hoping that you wanted to go shopping before the event.”
 
Kagome nodded, “Sure mom.”
 
There was a knock on the door before the two women could continue their conversation.
 
“Kagome dear can you just get that please?”
 
Kagome sighed and got up, in a house as big as this wasn't there suppose to be somebody to get the door?
 
She slowly made her way to the door as the knocking insisted, “I'm coming! I'm coming! Jeesh!”
 
Kagome opened the door only to be knocked down by a blur of pink and black.
 
“Kagome! Oh my god I missed you so much! You were suppose to call me when you got into town! Well I know that it hasn't been the best time for you but oh my god how come you didn't tell me that you were going to get married! As your best friend I expected to be the first one to know! But NO! I had to hear it from the stupid Tracy bimbo on the TV!”
 
“Sango?”
 
“Yes Kagome”
 
“Shut up!”
 
Sango nodded and hugged her friend again, “I missed you!”
 
“Me too! I can't believe you're here! What are you doing here?”
 
“You're mom invited me silly!”
 
“Oh Kagome,” Mrs. H says as she walks into the main hall, “I see that you got the door! I thought that you would like if Sango would come shopping with us, after all we are picking out your wedding dress!”
 
Kagome smiled despite herself, even though she didn't want to marry Inuyasha, she did always dream of putting on that white wedding dress.
 
“Well come on you two,” Mrs. H says grabbing her purse, “we don't have all day, we have to be back here by 6, you have the charity event Kagome!”
 
Both girls nodded and climbed into the car after Mrs. H.
 
They soon arrived at a dress shop and were soon showed to the VIP room were they could try on the dresses comfortably without out being bothered by other customers.
 
Kagome was trying on one dress after another when she finally saw it, it was perfect, it was everything she ever dreamed of and more.
 
“I found it!” she says jumping up and down.
 
“Oh its beautiful Kagome!” Her mother says clasping her hands together.
 
“It looks like it was made for you!” Sango says smiling at her friend.
 
“Good! Now that we found my dress, onto the brides made dresses!”
 
Sango groaned, “I'm not looking forward to this part! The bride goes crazy and picks outs the ugliest dress that you can ever imagine!”
 
“Now Sango!” Kagome says crossing her arms, “You have to give me more credit than that! I would never pick out something ugly for you to wear!”
 
“Ok Kagome I trust you!”
 
“Ok good! How bout this blue one!” She says holding up a bright blue frilly dress.
 
Sango signed and flopped down on the sofa.
 
“Inuyasha are you dressed yet?” InuTaisho called impatiently to his son from outside the door.
 
“I'm not wearing these shoes! They make my feet hurt! Can't I just go with my tennis shoes or better, barefoot!”
 
“Inuyasha!” InuTaisho says barging into the room, “Just put on the damn shoes and come on!” He looked over at his son, “You look nice, but you didn't brush you're hair did you?”
 
“I'll brush it!” he says hastily as he grabs a brush and runs it through his silver hair and tied it in a low ponytail, “I don't know what your rush is anyways, besides I bet the wench isn't even ready yet!”
 
InuTaisho sighed, “By `wench' you mean your fiancé? Well son now that you're getting married I need to share some knowledge with you. You will ALWAYS wait for your wife to get ready and NEVER complain about how long she takes, understand?”
 
“Whatever” Inuyasha says brushing past his father and going in the living room to wait for his future wife.
 
It didn't take long for Kagome to come down the stairs and when she did, Inuyasha's breath caught in his throat.
 
She was wearing a red cocktail dress that tied behind her neck leaving her back exposed. There was a fair amount of cleavage showing making her breast bigger than their really were. The dress came down just past her knees, showing off some of her legs. (a/n: not good at dress descriptions! Sorry! It's pretty in my head!)
 
Kagome came slowly down the stairs, Inuyasha's stare was making her nervous, he never really looked at her like that. This gave her time to admire his wardrobe. He was wearing a black suit with a plain white shirt, no tie and the shirt was unbuttoned, making some of his chest showing.
 
Inuyasha finally snapped out of his trance and crossed his arms, “You ready?”
 
Kagome numbly nodded and followed Inuyasha out to the limo. The ride was silent, neither wanted to fight before the event, it was harder to act like they were in love when they were mad at each other.
 
Inuyasha suddenly broke the silence, “We're going to have to talk to some reporters tonight.”
 
Kagome nodded, “Mom told me, you think theirs going to be a lot of them?”
 
Inuyasha shrugged, “How should I know, but we're about to find out.”
 
The car stopped and Kagome took a deep breath.
 
“You'll be fine, just hold on to me and smile.” Inuyasha says without turning to her.
 
Before Kagome could respond the door was opened and Inuyasha stepped out smiling, he soon turned and offered his hand to Kagome for to get out. The couple stepped onto the red carpet smiling at the photographers.
 
Kagome had never really liked this part of the charity events, all the causes were important to her but she hated having to come here so people can yell out her name and get pictures of her.
 
Kagome clutched Inuyasha's arm tighter as they made their way to the first reporter in the long line of them.
 
Inuyasha turned to her and held on to her hand tighter and smiled, a real smile, one that he didn't use often, “I'm right here, don't worry.”
 
Kagome nodded and smiled while answering the reporter's questions. It was all pretty boring really. All the reporters asked the same questions and you had to give the same answers you gave before. It wasn't until the last reporter that they got the question that Kagome was dreading.
 
“So when is the wedding?”
 
Kagome smiled, “Its -“
 
“In a week!” Inuyasha finished for her while hugging her to him.
 
Kagome looked at him a bit surprised then turned and smiled, “In a week!”
