Summary: Kagome comes home after five years being away for an anniversary party and a baby shower. She brings with her more than just dirty laundry but secrets too. Inuyasha sees her and wants to rekindle their broken relationship. When Inuyasha and Kagome finally meet up is it too late to start over?
Chapter 1: Let's Do this Dirty Laundry
"Oh my god Kagome! Where the hell are you?" a frantic female voice started to yell through the cell phone mouth piece.
Kagome rolled her eyes and made sure that she could still hear out of her ear.
"I am almost there, Rin. Keep your panties on would you please. Hiten can drive so fast without getting a ticket," Kagome said smoothing out her black skirt and recrossing her legs.
She looked outside of the tinted back passenger window and sighed.
'I thought I would never come back here,' Kagome thought to herself.
"Mom and Pop's anniversary party is about to start and you're suppose to be one of the surprises," the young woman said sounding desperate.
"Honey, I know.I had some things to take care of,"Kagome said smirking at her driver's eyes through the rear view mirror.
"Oh you mean-," Kagome interrupted the woman before she started guessing.
"Yes, he wasn't happy I can tell you because he wanted to meet everyone," Kagome said speaking in code that she knew the woman on the line would understand.
"We did too! It's been what, five years since the famous producer and screenwriter, Kagome Higurashi has graced her peasant friends with her presence?"Rin said melodramatically.
"Oh Rin shut up! You just visited me for my birthday two months ago," Kagome said chuckling.
"Yes, that was fun! Well I got to make this short. He-who-must-not-be-named and Professor Umbridge has made it. Oh god here they come towards me," Rin said trying not to panic because they were her least favorite people.
"Rin, Lord Voldemort is not as strong without his horcruxes. Thankfully Harry destroyed them!"Kagome said acting melodramatic and giggling at the end.
"Kagome, see that is why you are much cooler than that ghastly woman. HP for life. That stick in the mud doesn't get my HP references. It's like have you picked up a damn book in the last fifteen years geesh,"Rin sighed.
"Rin you are too much! Remember,he is your brother-in-law. He replaced me with that thing to be his wife," Kagome said trying not to sound like the bitter ex-wife.
"Honey you know you will always be my sister! Not that- oh yes Momma. No I will have to see you later at the in-laws party. My favorite two people just showed up. Hurry now, ok!" Rin said trying to act natural and fake giggle in her phone.
"Ok Rinny baby. Momma gotta go barf and finish sucking yo daddy's dick dry," Kagome said in a stereotypical old woman's voice.
"Kag-cough, cough-Mother! My virgin ears!" Rin said turning red and having visuals of her actual mother doing such things to her father and shuddered.
"Just kidding. Oh we are pulling up now. Be inside in a flash. Kisses, bye,"Kagome said hanging up her phone and reapplying her makeup and freshening up her look.

"Bye Momma," Rin said to the ring tone.
"Rin dear, it's so nice to see you again," Kikyo said and kissed her cheek.
'Don't slap her and just grin,' Rin thought.
"Your mother is coming? I haven't seen her since your wedding. I think she is a funny lady. Speaking of weddings I have some other ideas for your baby shower if you want to sit and talk in the morning," Kikyo said with a smile on her face still holding Rin's hands.
"Oh that's sweet. But Kikyo, hold on one second. Dear," Rin saw her husband Sesshomaru and almost ran to him.
"Oh your sister-in-law found you. She has been hunting you down for the last two days and never seemed to catch up with you even if I just talked to you," Sesshomaru said bending down to kiss her on her lips.
"Correction Love. Your sister-in-law. Mine is coming inside any moment. So... you was the one that was giving away classified information," Rin said leaning into Sesshomaru and giggling.
"Kaggy is here? What about her-?"Sesshomaru started to ask but Rin jabbed him in his side with her elbow.
"Shh, Lord Voldemort might hear you," Rin said trying to close her husband's mouth from yelling out in pain and looked around for Inuyasha.
"Seriously Rin, you and your Harry Potter. If I didn't know any better I would think that you was having an affair with that Brit," Sesshomaru said removing her hand from his mouth and rubbing his side.
"Oh Sesshy you are the only one for me and Harry Potter," Rin said giggling and heard the butler announcing another guest arriving at the secret anniversary party.

Ten Minutes Earlier
Kagome waited until her car drove around and was parking in the front door area. She waited until someone opened the door for her and offered a hand to help her out.
She made sure that she wore her tightest black dress and her favorite red heels that made her calves look like they were carved from the gods. She twisted her hair and threw it behind her and teased her bangs. She pouted her lips and applied some red lipstick. She took a deep breath and knocked on her window after she adjusted her breasts to make them perky.
Her driver opened the door and leant her his hand. She grabbed it and he kissed her on the cheek.
"Go get them tiger," the assistant said.
"Thanks. Be close because I may leave early than expected,"Kagome said smoothing out her skirt.
"I had gotten instructions that you are going to be staying here for the weekend with the Takahashi's and until the birth of your nephew. I have your bags already packed and in the trunk," Hiten said while popping the trunk.
"Oh shit, I forgot. Well if tonight doesn't go well please make arrangements for me to stay at a hotel just in case. Reserve it and if everything goes right then cancel it or stay there yourself. If not then we won't have to drive around looking for someplace to sleep," Kagome said trying not to giggle because she knew when certain people were in the same room she tended to lose her cool.
'Not this time. I have matured. I will not be the naive little bitch that ass knew. Woosai!' Kagome thought and followed the patiently waiting butler to be escorted inside of the house.
"Sir, there is parking around back and you can enter through there. The other chauffeurs and maids are back there,"the head butler informed Hiten.
"Actually he is my boyfriend he will be with me. Have someone else drive the car around, Myoga," Kagome said with venom dripping through.
Hiten wrapped his arm around her hips and grinned.
"Kaggy, I didn't know you felt that way about me," Hiten whispered while they walked up the white stone stairs.
"I know! You will not be treated second rate while I'm here. You are my best boy friend and my assistant. Plus my rock and many other hats that you wear. You are too valuable to me," Kagome said and leaned into his side.
Hiten kissed the top of her head.
"So I got a chance to get laid tonight?" Hiten asked and wiggled his eyebrows.
"Slow your roll buddy. Let's get this party over with. I need a drink," Kagome said while she followed Myoga through the doors to the party.

Inside of the Mansion
The couple enters the room after Myoga introduced Kagome and Hiten to the guests and hostess. Hiten had his arm around Kagome's waist.
"Kagome! You made it! I'm so glad you was able to make it! I missed you so much!" Rin squealed making almost anyone in close proximity deaf.
"Rin what you say? I think, I think I can still hear in my ear,"Kagome said popping her ear to recover from the squeal.
"Oh Kagome you kiddier," Rin said hugging Kagome harder and released her.
Rin looked over to Kagome's male friend and grinned.
"Oh! Who's this?" Rin whispered and wiggled her eyebrows to Kagome.
Kagome rolled her eyes and grabbed Hiten's hand.
"This is my-,"Kagome began but was cut off.
"Yes, that's a fair enough question, who is he?" Inuyasha asked walking up to the hugging women and finishing his bourbon in one gulp.
"Why do you care dear? Clearly she is over you and settled for someone...so...common,"Kikyo said coming up to the small gathering and wrapping her arms around Inuyasha's neck trying to kiss him.
Inuyasha pulled her away and placed his hand on her waist.
Kagome stiffened and Hiten felt her shaking. He turned her head and kissed her on the lips softly. Inuyasha clenched his teeth looking at the kissing couple. His glass cracking under the pressure.
"I'm her boyfriend and soon to be fiance, Hiten Carne," Hiten said looking deep in Kagome's eyes and kissed her nose, "nice to meet you,"Hiten said facing the people that was around him and holding out his hand .
Inuyasha just looked at Hiten's hand in disgust but Rin reached out and shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you! So you are the one that put that sparkle back in our Kagome's eyes,"Rin gushed and Sesshomaru came up to his wife and wrapped his arm around her expanding waist.
Sesshomaru shook Hiten's hand, "nice to finally meet the mystery guy. Come, all the men are gathering over in the dining room. When my parents come, my father is going to want to meet you too".
Hiten gulped a bit and followed Sesshomaru towards where the other men were gathered. Inuyasha followed after taking one last long look at Kagome.
Kagome ignored him and was dragged over to where the women were gathered talking by Rin. Kagome few minutes later felt her phone vibrate in her purse.
Hiten: WTF did I get myself into? Your "friend" Inuyasha keeps staring at me...what's his issue?
Received: 2015/07/06 8:47pm.
Kagome giggled and showed the text to Rin. Rin finished talking to Sesshomaru's great aunt's best friend's cousin. Rin giggled at the text.
"Is our Inuyasha regretting his decision and not playing nicey nice with our future brother-in-law?" Rin laughed giving back Kagome back her cell phone.
Me: He is a big pussycat. Ignore him lol

"Right! So since I'm here and I'm your child's godmother what else do we have to tackle on your long list of baby things?"Kagome asked grabbing Rin's elbow and moving her away from the cackling hens.
"Well since Michael or Nicolas will be born three months away I pretty much have almost everything done. We do have a cake tasting and finalization of that, decorate nursery so we need a theme still, hospital arrangements and outfits," Rin said looking through her phone on her To-Do List app.
"Well I sent you a list of nursery themes I saw on DIYterest and I already confirmed with Rev. McAllen he is more than willing to do the baby dedication two months after my nephew is born," Kagome said looking at her email from the Rev. McAllen.
"I will let Sessh know that. See that's why I love having you near! Everything runs so smoothly. Oh my little Avery and Emery are going to be so excited about their new cousin,"Rin said texting Sesshomaru.
"Other than that it doesn't sound like much. So Sess finally locked down his vote for godfather? Is it Jaken the loving assistant?" Kagome asked grabbing and taking a sip of champagne.
"Oh that, well, Jaken was the obvious pick," Rin said twiddling her thumbs.
Kagome tried not to scowl at that.
"Tsk, I was only joking. Well we don't have to have him there for the services . It can work. But if he just has to be there then when we take photos make sure that he is at the end so we can "accidently" crop him out the pictures. Ok what's next," Kagome said internally patting herself on the back.
"Kagome," Rin said looking around to make sure that Jaken wasn't listening.
"You know you was thinking it," Kagome said sipping the rest and getting another glass.
"Well rest assured it's not him anymore. His parents vetoed that before it came out of our mouths. They firmly put their foot down on that suggestion," Rin said.
She ended up telling Kagome about that night.
Inu no Tashio had a gut wrenching laugh and had to wipe away tears. Izayoi just shook her head and was going through her address of her friends who had sons around her children's age that could be the godfather.
"I can just imagine Mom and Pops laughing and Mom calling every eligible and sane male from here to Los Angeles to be Sess's pick for godfather. Why didn't you guys pick someone that was already in the family?" Kagome asked and finished her champagne.
Kagome and Rin heard someone say to get ready to yell surprise. The couple were outside parking.
"I guess it's true. Great minds think alike, because that is what we did," Rin vaguely said and started to clear her throat.
"One," a male voice whispered.
"Well, who is it?" Kagome asked walking to where the rest of the guests gathered in a semicircle facing the doors everyone entered through.
"Two," a group of people said low together.
"Oh you will be surprised," Rin said acting scared and looking around for Sesshomaru to take the brute force of Kagome's guaranteed anger when she found out who.
"Three," the group became bigger and a little louder.
Giggling was heard in isolated spots around the room.
"Spill it," Kagome hissed not liking the stall.
"Four."
"Well-," Rin looking around again.
"Rin!"Kagome irritated with the guessing game.
"Five,"the party goers said in unison.
"It's Inuyasha!"Rin shouted and covered her mouth.
"Surprise!" everyone yelled.
The honored couple walked in and was greeted by a hundred or so people holding up their champagne flutes shouting and clapping at them.
"What the fuck," Kagome yelled and that was carried throughout the room.
