Life's Lemons
Chapter 1
"Damn it!" a young man grumbled, looking under the bed, "Sweetheart? Have you seen my-"
"On the dresser…" she yelled, loudly but sweetly. He looked and rolled his eyes. 'I knew that…'
"Thank you…oh-and do you know where I put-"
"In your office." she yelled once again.
He came down the stairs having a conflict between his tie and his fingers. His silver plated hair hung in a low ponytail at the base of his neck, and amber eyes rolled when he gave up the losing battle with his tie and went in search of his briefcase. He looked inside the door for a brief second, and sure enough…his wife had been correct- again- and he found his briefcase on it's side: papers and important documents strewn across his desk.
"I see you've yet again lost the battle with your tie…" His wife walked in, in his red silk robe; her black ebony hair pulled into a neat bun on the top of her head, and her make- up done.
"I see you have yet to get dressed."
"Well, I have 2 hours, love, you have 10 minutes." She said tauntingly, handing him his keys and mocha latte. He took them gratefully while she fixed his tie.
"Men are totally hopeless…" she mused, with a warm smile fixated on her pretty, porcelain face. She looked over her handy work after she had finished, as she tucked it behind the freshly pressed folds in his suit. He put his coffee on the desk behind him and pulled her up, flush against his chest.
"Men are totally hopeless, huh Kagome? That's not what you told me last night." he growled lovingly into her ear. Kagome soon found and imaginary spot on the floor very interesting as a light pink blush tinted her cheeks. He was amazed. After all they had done together, she could still be so shy! She was like an innocent little virgin and that's one of the things he loved about her. She was always so pure- Well, she looked and acted pure on the outside at most times, but on the inside? Ha! Yeah right…
Memories of last nights- and this mornings- activities came back and flooded her mind.
"You know," he started, "I could call my office and say I can't make it in today…" He started to play with the little strands of hair that she had left out of her bun and continued his thoughts. "Then that leaves me here at home, then you could call your boss and say you have the flu or some thing and you're coming down with a headache," He whispered seductively in her ear, determined to get his way today.
She tauntingly looked at him, full on knowing what he meant.
"So that would leave us here to do nothing all day? Sorry InuYasha, I don't think I could do that all day."
"Oh, that's where you're sadly mistaken, see, I never said we'd be doing nothing all day." He smirked.
"Oh really?" she answered sweetly, "then what would I be doing?"
"Me…" He whispered in her ear. He gently nipped at her ear lobe and sucked on it. He smelt her scent spike and his lips curled upwards. He leaned down and deeply inhaled the air that occupied the space between her collar bone and the side of her neck. This had to get him his way, this always worked… and then again, some times it didn't.
"Inu…Yasha…"
'Come on Kagome! You have things to do today, remember?'
"If…If you don't hurry…Kouga will beat you to the office again."
"Don't change the subject, Wench," He pulled her back far enough to see her face and chided her gently.
"Then it won't bother you when he taunts you for a week after today?" She asked, knowing she just gained the upper hand.
"Damn it! Have I ever told you how much I hate him?" he asked sulking.
' Here it goes' she thought, 'the old we're-moving-out-in-the-next-month speech'
"We are so moving this next month. He is a big pain in the ass, and he annoys me at work constantly, and -did I mention that I hate him?"
"Every day dear, now, get going before you're late." She shook her head at her husbands whining and sighed and smiled, 'What am I going to do with him?'
She kissed him goodbye and headed back up the staircase to continue getting ready. He grabbed his coffee, keys, and briefcase and headed out the front door, determined to get to work before his good-for-nothing, shit-for-brains neighbor did.
"Hey mutt-face!" 'Speak of the devil' "Did you come out to collect the newspaper?" Kouga asked walking out the front door.
"As a matter-of-fact, yeah, I did-just so I could shove it up your ass and-"
" InuYasha!"
" Crap."
"stop irritating the neighbors, and you forgot your phone." Kagome made her way to InuYasha through the 6 inch, fluffy-new fallen snow. She tried to follow his tracks that were impressed into the snowy crystals that blanketed the porch and driveway. "Your clients wouldn't be too happy if they called and you didn't answer."
"Thanks," he pulled Kagome into another flush embrace and captured her lips in one swift movement. He dragged his fangs across her bottom lip, earning him a light purr from his mate. He was granted access, of course, without hesitation, until-
"Get a room, nobody wants to see that…" Kouga unlocked his car and got in.
"Maybe I will," he picked Kagome up bridal style and gave her a chaste kiss, before she lightly hit his arm.
"You need to go, you should have left already." She said smiling and turning back to the house.
"Can I have one for the road?" InuYasha asked,-well more like begged. Kouga rolled his eyes and shook his head before starting his car.
"Nope. When you get home, you can have all the kisses you want; so the faster you go, the faster you get home…" She said in a sing song tone as InuYasha grumbled and got in his car and drove off.
.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.
' Damn it Kagome! Your appointment is in an hour and your still not ready!' She hurriedly looked under the bed and found her shoe's long-lost partner. She slipped on her heels and looked around for her phone. 'Mental Note: Tell InuYasha I'm hiring a maid for our bedroom. Every other part of the house some how manages to stay clean, how is it this is the only room that gets messy? Even our bathroom stays clean'
' Because Einstein, this is the only room that InuYasha insists on being in-duh!' She grabbed her phone off the bed side table and put it in her purse as she took her keys off the hook in the walk in entry to their home. She walked out into the cold, frostbitten morning and somehow managed to make it to her new black convertible BMW that InuYasha had gotten her as an early Christmas present.
She drove off to the doctor's office, patting herself on the back for getting out of the house on time. ' I deserve a treat for that… the mall will work! That's it, Ayame and I are going to the mall for my treat to myself.'
.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.
"Taisho, Kagome? Appointment at 8:00 to see Doctor Rumiko?" Kagome stood up from the uncomfortable chair that sat among the others in the waiting room. She followed the young nurse down the white washed walls and heavy wooden doors that lined the hallway. She soon found herself in front of an opened door with a doctor sitting on his stool inside, flipping through papers on his clipboard.
"Doctor Rumiko? Mrs. Taisho is here to see you." She informed him with an irritated tone. Kagome quizzically glanced her way before walking in and taking a seat on the cold cot, covered in clean white, crinkly paper.
"Why thank you my lovely, sexy Sango…"
"I'm on duty, pervert," she replied hotly, slamming the door behind her, leaving the pill bottles and jars on his desk rattling in her wake. Kagome looked to the doctor to find a small, amused smile play on his face. As she looked closer she could see a pink, fading handprint sporting his left cheek.
"Now then, dear lady, how can I be of service?"
"Well, I'm here to confirm my husband's Christmas gift." He glanced at her quizzically as she smiled brightly. "I'm late on my cycle and I want an ultra scan done to see if I'm really pregnant," she said looking around at all the bright, colorful posters of the human anatomy plastered on the wall.
"Damn…"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, nothing. I- uh- was just thinking…" he replied.
'Damn it. She's wearing a ring, so she's married and-holy mother of Buddha! That's not a ring! That's Mount Fuji on a gold band! Lucky Bastard…'
"Excuse me? Doctor Rumiko?" Kagome asked as her doctor's eyes were staring off into space.
"Please, call me Miroku," 'Well…husband's not here. Sexy nurse?…not here…'
"Dear lady, would you kindly consider bearing-"
"Pervert!" Sango suddenly appeared, heavy metal tray in her hands, held high above her head. She had startled Kagome, and she almost jumped right of the cot. She decided she could wait and was going to leave. "I can't believe you! Did you not see her last name? Not only is she married, but to one of the best lawyers in the country! Her husband would kick your ass in a heartbeat. First in court, then physically!"
"I think I'll just come back a little later…" Kagome said as she tried to sneak past the two.
"No no no! Please allow me to run the ultra scan test. That's what you're here for right?" Kagome nodded her head. "good, cause I don't think Doctor Rumiko will be getting up any time soon." they both glanced in Miroku's direction; they giggled at his position sprawled out on the floor and the swirls they saw in place of his eyes.
"Please, the machines are in the back room. If you'll just follow me."
