Chapter 4
Kikyo
"Are you ready?" I asked Hojo as our car pulled into the entrance circle of Taisho Castle.
I suddenly regretted treating Inuyasha badly as I stared at his ancestral home. The Taisho's really had a castle! I shook that from my thoughts and smirked at the havoc I was about to reek. Once the driver opened the door Hojo exited the car and offered me his arm. I slipped my left hand through his and smiled widely as the photographers started snapping pictures. My dress for the evening was a beautiful backless red gown that left little to the imagination. It was Inuyasha's favorite color on me and I had decided to use it to commemorate tonight's outing. Not only will this be the first time Inuyasha and I have been in the same building together since he broke up with me but it was the night that Hojo and I would reveal our engagement to everyone.
I looked down on the beautiful three stoned white diamond ring resting on my left ring finger and smiled as it caught the light. Hojo may not have been as good in bed as Inuyasha but he sure did know how to pick out jewelry. I smiled as the camera and leaned into Hojo as we walked down the white carpet that started from the sidewalk where the cars unloaded and ended at the entrance to the ballroom.
We handed our invitations to the man in charge of the guest list and were promptly shown to our table. Hojo pulled out my seat and I sat down before looking around to see if there were any people I knew or if Inuyasha had made it yet. Unfortunately the only person I knew and was on friendly terms with was Kagura and she was sitting across the room with her own date. Sesshomaru and his wife were seated at a table with some of the bigwigs in the electronic industry. Rin, as usual, was dressed impeccably well although that's not saying much since she's married to a man worth more that even I could spend in two lifetimes, which is saying something seeing as if I could I would be flying to New York and Milan every weekend on a shopping spree. I would have made my way over and made conversation with the younger woman but Sesshomaru has never liked me and because of that Rin was never fond of me and then with the way things ended with Inuyasha and I...let's just say that we weren't on the best of terms.
~*~*~
Rin
"Kikyo is here," I whispered to Sesshomaru as we walked away from our table and over towards my father-in-law.
"We know dear," Izayoi said as she and Inu Taisho met Sesshomaru half way.
"You look beautiful ma," Sesshomaru said as he kissed his step mother on the cheek.
"Thank you sweetie," she said with a bright smile and kissed him on the cheek before whispering something to her husband and walking off to mingle.
Mrs. Taisho was in her fifties but thanks to her mating with Mr. Taisho, and her daily yoga classes, she didn't look a day over thirty. Her dress for the night was almost identical to mine except that it was brown and she had a slit up her skirt. A very high slit and I smirked, already hearing Inuyasha's mouth when he saw his mother. Her long dark brown hair was down in loose curls framing her face. A beautiful yellow and white diamond necklace dressed her delicate neck while a pair of matching earrings fell from her ears.
Just as that thought passed through my mind another guest was announced and I looked at the door to see Inuyasha and Kagome walking in. Kagome looked breath taking and I couldn't help but notice how striking she and Inuyasha looked as a couple. Her back was turned to me as they were led to their table and I had to control myself from the shock as I noticed how low her dress was. I glanced over in Kikyo's direction and smirked at her angry facial expression and it took everything I had to wipe the grin off of my face. Yeah bitch, he doesn’t need you.

Inuyasha
It wasn't until we got to our table that I noticed how low Kagome's dress was cut in the back and it took everything I had not to drag her up to one of the bedroom's and ravish her. I took a deep calming breath and my nose twitched as I smelled the familiar fragrance of Chanel no.5 wafting around the room. I looked up and there was Kikyo sitting next to Homo staring at Kagome and if looks could kill Kagome wouldn't be sitting here. I grabbed my flute, which had just been filled with Crystal and lifted it in Kikyo's direction before taking a sip. I could almost see the steam coming off of her as she stared at me and Kagome. Before she could storm her way over to us my parents came over, both eager to meet Kagome.
"I know we raised you to have more manners than that Inuyasha," my mother said from behind her. My ears instinctively flattened at my mother's admonishment and I stood and began to make the introductions.
"Ma, Pop this is my friend Kagome Higurashi. Kagome these are my parents Inu and Izayoi Taisho," I replied.
Kagome stood and shook each of their hands while saying, "It's nice to meet both of you."
"So what do you do Miss. Higurashi?" my father asked her.
"I co own and run Shikon Dating Service alongside Rin," she replied.
"Really? Why did you decide to run a dating service?" my mother asked.
"I majored in Business Marketing with a concentration in psychology. I had been working at a corporation making a great living for myself when Rin called me and told me she was thinking about starting a business and wanted me to work with her. The service we provided is a positive one and it allows me to use both my business mind and psychology degree," I replied.
"I like this one Inuyasha," my mother replied, causing me to blush.
Kagome just smiled and turned her eyes to me. My father smiled at our reaction before asking Kagome to dance. She nodded and slipped her hand in his and followed him onto the dance floor.
~*~*~
Kagome
I was introduced to Inuyasha's parents who were nice and very welcoming before we were joined by the other people of our table who were all in their late forties, early fifties. Soft jazz was playing by a live band and I was swaying side to side. I looked over and noticed Inuyasha staring at me. I fought down a blush as I asked him what was the matter.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked.
"Sure," I replied with a genuine smile.
As soon as we got to the part of the floor sectioned out for just this activity the song morphed from Warren Hill's Sax in the City and into No Ordinary Love. I slipped my hands over Inuyasha's shoulders and wrapped them loosely around his neck while his hands rested over my hips. We swayed to the music and just enjoyed the moment. It wasn't until I looked up that I noticed the heated gaze of someone staring at me. She looked at me as if I had intruded on something that belonged solely to her.
"It seems you have an admirer," I whispered in Inuyasha's ear.
"Who?" he asked with a curious frown.
"The woman in red," I replied, nodding my head over in the woman's direction. He glanced in the direction I had pointed out before rolling his eyes and telling me that it was nothing.
I, being the perceptive person I was, decided that she might be the reason that Sesshomaru didn't want him to be alone in the public and decided if I was going to be his trophy girlfriend, so to speak, than I would make sure that he got out of it what was asked. I leaned over and placed my head on his shoulder.

Kikyo
"Come on Hojo," I replied as I stood from my seat.
"Where are we going?" he asked as he stood.
"We're going to dance," I spat as I headed over onto the dance floor.
I positioned us beside Inuyasha and his date. I danced close against Hojo and began to move my hips to the music. As the song changed I parted from Hojo and tapped the girl Inuyasha was dancing with on the shoulder and plastered on a fake smile as I asked to cut in. She started to move back but Inuyasha grabbed her and pulled her closer before shaking his head and turning to me.
He looked me in the eye before clearly saying, "I don't quite feel like dancing."
He then grabbed his little...tart and walked over to his table. It took everything I had not to yell at him but I just glanced at the diamond on my left finger and plastered a smile and danced with Hojo for one more song before heading back to my table.
~*~*~
Rin
"I would have given anything to have been Kagome a moment ago. Being able to see all that action first hand," I whispered to Sesshy.
"What are you going on about now?" he asked me.
"Kikyo tried to cut in on Inuyasha's and Kagome's dance," I replied.
"I saw. I'm glad he finally has that wench out of his system," Sesshomaru replied as he kissed me on the temple and went to talk to some of the other guests.

Kagome
The dinner had been in full swing for close to two hours and the dinner had been amazing. The garden salad had been wonderful as had the soft buttery biscuits that came along with it. My lobster had been tender and delicious and the sparkling Crystal was delicious. The night was wonderful and now everyone was just talking and getting to know one another. The band was playing South Beach and I would have loved to dance to it but I had to use the rest room. I leaned into Inuyasha's ear and asked if he could give me directions to the ladies room. He nodded and gave me the general direction and I kissed him on the cheek as a thank you before excusing myself from the table and heading towards the rest room.
I was in the middle of washing my hands when the door to the bathroom opened and the same woman who tried to cut in on my dance with Inuyasha walked in. She looked me up and down before heading to the sink and washing her own hands. I grabbed one of the hand towels on the side and tried my hands before making my way to the door.
"How do you know Inuyasha?" the woman in red asked.
"I don't see how that's any of your business," I replied.
"Well I'm making it my business," the woman replied before turning and staring me down.
I shook my head before saying, "This is a lovely evening and I'm not trying to get into it with someone I don't know enough to care about."
"This isn't about care. It's about you stepping in on territory that's mine," she replied.
I looked her up and down before laughing and saying, "So you're an ex?"
Her eyes squinted and she placed her hands on her hip before saying, "I'm not an ex. I'll have you know that I was the love of Inuyasha's life."
"Was being the operative word," I replied before opening the door and walking out of the bathroom.
~*~*~
The night had flown by and it was a lovely evening. I danced to great music of my favorite genre, soft jazz, and ate delicious food. I couldn't have asked for a better night and the fact that I got to look beautiful during it all was an added plus. When Inuyasha dropped me off at home later on that evening all I could think about was taking off the little make up I had on, showering, and going to sleep.
I had just wrapped my hair up and covered it with a bonnet when my phone started ringing. I pressed the speaker button before saying, "Kagome speaking."
"Hey," Inuyasha's baritone said over the line.
"Hi," I replied softly over the line as I opened my lingerie drawer and pulled out something to sleep in.
"I’m sorry to disturb you but I wanted to say good night," he replied softly.
I smiled before saying, "Good night Inuyasha."
He hung up the phone and I turned off the speaker before I pulled on my white silk gown and slipped in the bed for a comforting sleep.
