Chapter 1: You have to marry!

-

-

-

It was ten o' clock and she was getting ready for bed, when a knock came on her door. She gave a yes, and then the maid came in, telling her that her father was asking for her. She gave a wave of acknowledgement, taking this a sign as the maid left. She followed the maid a few minutes later.

She cringed as she touched the cold metal bars to help her navigate through the stairs. Why? she thought, Why does dad have to call a family meeting right when I was about to get a much-deserved sleep. As she reached the last step, she finds her way to the family room only to find the rest of the family members waiting for her.

Moments later, after everyone has wiped the sleep off their eyes, Jouichi Higurashi called his family to order. This man is actually a business tycoon. One of the richest man in Japan, possibly even the world.

Owning the most successful oil companies, Hikaru, he will soon find out that the hardest thing he earned will be his daughter's forgiveness once she learns of the reason this family meeting was called. He silently prayed that Kagome won't kill him. But it was for the best.

"Remember Kagome," he then spoke, after taking a deep breath, "when Taishou and I set you up with his son, Inuyasha?" (A/N: I changed Inuyasha's father's name.) After hearing a grunt that he assumed was a 'yes', he continued, "Well, we decided for you two to marry." Kagome mouthed a small hai. Wait for it….

"WHAT?!" she screamed as the words finally registered in her brain. "WHY?! I can't even stand him! Lest should I be bound in matrimony with that stinkin' jerk!!!!" "

We decided to get a merger to wipe that smirk of Naraku's face once he achieved the top spot as THE RICHEST MAN IN JAPAN!", he replied to the drastic teenA/N: basically, she's still a teen, 19)

"And not to raise any suspicion from him, you have to act like your in love."

"Why tell them now dear?" Minako asked her husband.

"Because," he replied, "early tomorrow we will meet them at Shikon to properly discuss the arrangements. And plus, Taishou and I only planned this yesterday. It slipped my mind." he then turned to the sulking Kagome, "We'll rent the function room A."

"Why on earth are you telling me this??" Kagome asked, "Wouldn't I be with you when we go there?"

"Actually, no. Inuyasha will be picking you up at around 9. This will be another "date" with your "boyfriend", alright?" With emphasis on the words date, and boyfriend, he turned away, dismissing his family as his wife went together with him to their bedroom.

At the Takahashi residence…

"…so at nine, you will be picking Kagome up. You know where the meeting is right?" Izayoi asked her son, Inuyasha. Receiving a 'feh', she was quite glad that he was taking this alright. Maybe because he, and Sesshoumaru, were both present when InuTaisho them the news.

"Son," his father's deep voice called, "you may now go to sleep. Please, be at your best behavior with Kagome." After his father's words, Inuyasha went straight to his room, with his mother reminding him that he has to wake up early to make himself presentable towards Kagome.

Keh! he thought, I could sleep in for all I care. As he drifted back to sleep, he thought of a new way to make Kagome's life more miserable...

The next morning…

"Where is he?!" Kagome said with pure annoyance, "Dad said nine, but it has been a whole hour and he's not here yet." I wonder, she thought if he ever forgot? As if on cue, a knock was heard on the door. As she opened it; he was there, with a grin, no a smirk, on his face.

"Miss me?" he asked cockily. "No!" "Ah, too bad." Inuyasha did the unexpected. He slammed her to the door with hands at her sides to prevent her from walking away. He leaned in to her neck, breathed his hot breath on her, moved to her ear, whispering huskily, "'Cause, I sure did."

Kagome widened her eyes only to hear him laugh and told her that they had to get going. I was a pity that Inuyasha had his back turned to Kagome, because it would just add to his list of mischief for the day, to make her blush. And, oh, she was blushing. Hard.

"What has been taking you so long?" Taisho asked them mischievously. Now Kagome knows where Inuyasha takes after. "I woke up late." Inuyasha answered. Jouichi just shrugged it off not really caring as long as they got here.

Kagome eyed the place and saw an unfamiliar yet familiar face. A/N: LOL!!) What is that?? It was Ayuka Takahashi! A vocalist of a famous rock band and, not to mention, heiress to Takahashi Computers. Turns out that she is the cousin of Inuyasha. Wonder why she is present to this "meeting".

"Where are we going?" she asked. It has been a week since the meeting at Shikon. They already know what to say. I mean, Taisho and Jouichi planned what he has to say when he proposes. They didn't say exactly when. "Yakuza." he answered briefly, as the restaurant came to view. They found a parking space and just as Kagome was getting out, Inuyasha was helping her. What is up with him? Kagome asked herself. He is acting weirder than usual.

The couple were quite oblivious to the two whispering women in a café just across. "Mai, I'm sure of it! It's InuKag!" Obviously, this is what they cawe haven't seen them alo lled the Inuyasha-Kagome couple. "You're right Yue! Come on, ne for weeks. Something is up!" "This will be great news!" The two reporters then jogged towards the restaurant.

"Inuyasha, I…" Kagome started and started to blush as events week ago flood into her mind. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and started to kneel on his knees, with her hand in his. Kagome looked around and saw that most people were watching the couple already.

"Kagome I…" Inuyasha said bringing her attention to him….
