Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Inu Yasha and Gravitation....
Also, I used the last name, Takamada and Hitami's from Striking Falcon's To
Bear Witness. GOOD FIC, by the way...I suggest everyone read it if you
like Sesshomaru x Kagome pairings. Striking Falcon, if you have a problem
with this please let me know and I will change the last names immediately.
Chapter 1: The News
Kagome walked into the house and closed the door behind her. "Eiri- kun! I'm home!" Kagome called as she set her car keys on the table and took the groceries to the kitchen counter. Just then, the blonde-haired young man that she called for poked his head out of one of the rooms.
"Hey, how was school?" He asked his college student fiancee. He was older than she was and a well-known novelist. He was twenty-six and she had just turned twenty. She started unpacking the groceries and smiled.
"It was alright. I got my test back from Yu sensei and I got an A," Kagome said cheerfully.
"Really? That's great!" He said as he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"He also said I should apply for this internship at Takamada International. I guess it's an internship to be Takamada's personal assistant. He told me, if I applied, he would write me the best recommendation ever," she told him.
"Well then you're going to apply, right?" Eiri asked.
"I don't know, Eiri...I mean we haven't even started planning the wedding or anything..." Kagome said, but Eiri turned her around to face him.
"Listen to me, Kagome. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You should apply. I mean...it doesn't hurt to apply, and it doesn't guarantee that you'll get the job, but think about the future. Think what it could look like on a job application, or Takamada might even keep you..." Eiri explained. "We can put off planning the wedding for awhile longer. It won't hurt to do that."
Kagome smiled and kissed him quickly on the lips. "You're right. I'll start filling out the application," Kagome said happily as she stepped out of his arms to unpack the groceries. "So...how's your novel coming along?"
Eiri sighed. "It's getting there," he said as if it were the slowest torture in the world. Kagome smiled and walked over to him, cupping his cheek in her hand. He leaned into the touch and smiled.
"Well I'm sure it'll be great," she assured him. Eiri smiled and nodded just as Kagome pulled away. "Oh, I bought some stuff for tempura tonight, if that's okay with you."
Eiri nodded and started heading back to his study. "Anything is fine with me because your cooking is great no matter what it is," He told her. "I'm going to try to write a few more pages before dinner though, okay?"
"Alright, I'll call you when dinner is ready," She told him as he closed the door behind him, leaving Kagome alone in the kitchen to cook.
~*~Meanwhile...~*~
"Sesshomaru, did you finish those papers on the Sakura Project yet?" The black-haired young man asked.
"Yes, Inu Yasha, I'm done with them," The man at the desk sighed as he pulled out a stack of papers. He tossed them onto his desk and Inu Yasha picked them up.
Just then the door burst open and a short, rusty brown-haired young man ran into the office. "Shippo, don't you know what knocking is?" Sesshomaru questioned as he massaged his temples.
"Look what I just found in the announcements section of the newspaper," Shippo said as he handed the paper to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru took it and caught a glance at a familiar girl in the arms of a good- looking young man. The headline read: "Profound novelist, Yuki Eiri engagaed." His eyes widened when he finally recognized the girl and his jaw dropped.
"What is it?" Inu Yasha asked as he took the newspaper from his elder half-brother's hands. As soon as he took it, he looked down and his eyes widened. "Oh."
"It seems your wench is engaged to Yuki Eiri..." Sesshomaru said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
Inu Yasha slowly sat himself down in one of Sesshomaru's chairs. "Don't call her a wench," Inu Yasha said softly, still in too much shock to actually argue with his brother.
"I know, Inu Yasha. She deserves more respect than that..she's not like any human we have ever met," Sesshomaru said.
Inu Yasha sighed and ran his fingers through her hair. "Kagome..."
"I told you two we should've approached her after she finished her job in Sengoku Jidai, but no! You two had to play big corporate figures: Sesshomaru Takamada and Inu Yasha Hitami," Shippo said only earning a growl from both taiyoukai and hanyou.
"Shut up, kit. If we would've told her, she would've freaked out," Sesshomaru snapped.
"I...I don't get it. She's twenty and he's twenty six. He's a writer and she's a college student...how the hell did they meet? And the age difference..." Inu Yasha contemplated aloud.
"Because you know...five hundred and fifty years difference in age is so much better," Shippo laughed before he earned a bop on the head. "Oww! Damn it, Inu Yasha, if Kagome was around, she'd 'sit' your ass until there was no tomorrow!"
"If Kagome was around...I wouldn't feel like this..." Inu Yasha said softly as he got up and walked out of the office sadly. Shippo and Sesshomaru watched him and felt really bad for the hanyou.
"Poor Inu Yasha..." Shippo said softly.
***Poor Inu Yasha indeed...***
