A.N. okay. I'm back for now. This is such a boring chapter for me. I guess you could say when I was working on it I didn't have to much fun. But I hope you enjoy it.
Last Time
"Hi Kikyo."
Now
"Kagome why didn't you call me?" Kikyo whined 20 minutes later.
"Because I didn't want to bother you," Kagome lied as she patted her cousins hand, and I didn't want you showing up.
"It wouldn't be a bother," Kikyo said, "but your mother called me last night and informed me. She thought you had called and wanted to make sure I showed up."
Kagome nodded, making a mental note to never forgive her mother for this.
"Well anyway," Kikyo said with a smile, "I'm here. We can hang out, and just hang for a bit after the party?"
Kagome nodded, "I'm sorry Kikyo. I need to talk to my fiancé. Why don't you go talk with Yash and Miroku?"
Kikyo nodded before running off to where the boys were standing.
"Sesshoumaru," Kagome said as she walked over to the boy, "we need to talk."
"What about?" he asked turning around, "I think everything needed to be said had already been done."
"You know what I'm talking about," Kagome said, venom dripping from her words, "our plan backfired."
"I wouldn't say backfired," Sesshoumaru retorted, moving closer to Kagome, placing her closer to a wall, "I rather enjoyed the way it went."
Kagome flushed, "well it wasn't supposed to be like that. I mean… we just…"
"We just what?" Sesshoumaru asked, placing a hand on her waist, backing her into said wall, "we just need to do it again? I quite agree."
Before Kagome could reply, Sesshoumaru leaned in and kissed her again. This time though, she wasn't going to kiss him back. Instead, she pulled one foot up and took off her shoe. Grasping the heel, she used it as a handle and hit the demon in the head with front. It worked as she expected too, Sesshoumaru pulled away from her, rubbing his head.
"That's what you get," she said before slapping him very hard across the face, "for assuming I would let you do that again."
You could say Sesshoumaru was less than dumbstruck as he watched Kagome walk away from him.
"What was that?" came the outraged voice of his father, "I thought you two were getting along?"
Sesshoumaru looked up, "we were never getting along," he growled, "we just saw eye to eye for a whole two minutes."
Before his father could say another word, Sesshoumaru excused himself and left the party.
After The Party
"Kagome what happened with you and Sesshoumaru?" her mother asked over the phone, "I thought you two were okay?"
"No," Kagome said, "we were getting along fine. But he forced himself on me, kinda, and I didn't like it. So I hit him."
"Well that wasn't a nice thing to do," her mother scolded, "you need to apologize."
"Why?" Kagome asked as InuYasha pulled up to Sango's house, "he was being a pushy bastard. I don't let anyone treat me like that. YOU taught me that MOTHER."
Kagome and her mother continued their conversation for a while longer, before Kagome got out of the car and met Sango at the door.
"Yes MOTHER," she replied, exasperatedly, "I'm staying with Sango again…" pause "Okay. I'll call you before work tomorrow."
InuYasha had followed the girls to the door, "your still working at the diner?"
"Yeah," Kagome said, "I need money, and I've only been there a while. It's not that bad actually. But I'm saving to get out of here soon. Probably get a apartment. I've got enough money to afford the first couple of months rent for a while. It's just a matter of finding a place I am not scared to live in."
"I know a place," he said, "I'll have the manager call you with information."
Kagome nodded, "thanks."
"Yeah," he replied, following the girls into the house, "but one question. What was going on with you and my brother?"
"It's complicated," she replied, "but can you have him go to the diner around… 4:00 p.m. tomorrow?"
InuYasha nodded before leaving for the night.

Sesshoumaru didn't understand why Kagome wanted to talk to him, especially after the way she hit him at the party.
"She better be planning on apologizing," he said to himself as he got out of his car and walked towards the diner.
"Hardly," Kagome said, leaning against a window in front of the restaurant.
"What did you want to see me for then?" he asked, looking down at her.
"We need to go to the next step," she said, "my mother called me last night. Your mother and her talked and somehow managed to smooth things over. They're hell bent on this marriage. I don't know why either."
"My father said something last night to mother," Sesshoumaru said, "he thought I wasn't home. I guess there was some kind of deal made between them. You're to gain your fathers company, but only if you marry."
Kagome was stunned, "what? Daddy's company went down the drain I thought."
"No," Sesshoumaru remarked, "my father's been overseeing it. He makes sure it runs smoothly, uses the profits it's made and puts the money into your home's bills, medical bills for your grandfather. And the rest goes into two accounts for you and your brother."
Kagome nodded, "alright. But still. Marriage? Isn't there another way for me to get the company? I mean, I don't want to marry. Not now."
"No," Sesshoumaru said, "my father said that he's going to start training you to take over. After the wedding, it's yours. Which means that soon my father will be showing you everything."
"Soon?" she said, "how soon?"
"Well," he said, "you'll have to ask the mothers. They wont give the date away."
Kagome sighed. This was too much for her to comprehend.
"Alright," she said, "I'll talk to my mother later. Right now I've got to get inside, it's only my second week. And SHIT! I'm late."
Sesshoumaru laughed at the girl as she ran inside, and quickly punched her card.
Might as well make her day pissy, he thought to himself.
"Excuse me," he said to the girl at the counter, "can you tell me which is Kagome's area?"
The girl pointed him to the far corner of the store.
"Thank you," he said before sitting down.
"Kagome," said one of the other girls working with her, "who's the guy? He came in wanting to sit in your area."
Looking at who the girl was talking about, Kagome sighed.
"He's my fiancé," she replied angrily.
"Did you two have a fight?" the girl asked, noticing Kagome's face.
"Yeah," Kagome replied, "all the time."
"Well why not break up with him?"
"Can't," Kagome said, "it's not allowed."
"Does he beat you?" her friend asked, "I'll call the cops if he does."
"It's nothing like that," Kagome said shaking her head and arms wildly in the air, "we were arranged into the whole thing. We just got into it big time recently."
"Well I would say pass him along this way," the girl said, "but he seems kind of high maintenance."
"He is," Kagome said grabbing her notepad and a pen, "but I gotta go. He's not the only one in my area now."
The girl nodded, and Kagome walked over to Sesshoumaru.
"What do you want?" she asked him rudely.
"Well is that anyway to speak with your fiancé?" he asked, making sure everyone heard him.
"It is when you're a ass," she spat out, "what do you want? I have other customers."
"Well for now," he said, "I'll take a coke. But I'm not ready to order."
"Okay," Kagome said writing down the order, "I'll be back after I get their orders."
"Of course," he said, "love you dear."
Kagome blushed, and turned around and gave him a look.
"Hello," Kagome said, walking over to the other table, "I'm Kagome and I'll be your waitress today. Can I start you off with something to drink?"
The couple was a older one, about her grandfathers age.
"Yes dear," the man said, "can we have to hot teas and a plate of warm biscuits?"
Kagome wrote that down, "would you like anything else? Butter? Jelly or jam?"
"Oh yes please, all of it," the woman said, "that would be lovely."
"Alright," Kagome said with a bright smile, she liked old people, "I'll have that for you as soon as I can. And I'll bring your tea. Would you like lemon?"
The old man nodded, and Kagome wrote that down and walked away.
"Such a nice girl," the woman commented to her husband, "she'll make one man a wonderful bride."
Sesshoumaru heard the old couple, as they were sitting right behind him. He looked up when Kagome came to his table with his soda and two tea cups with tea bags and a bowl of lemons.
"Honey," he said with a sugary tone, "thank you so much."
"Stuff it," Kagome said with venom, "I'll be back in one moment."
Sesshoumaru nodded, and watched Kagome at the table behind him.
"Here you go," Kagome said to the elderly couple, "I'll have your busicuits in one moment. They're still in the oven."
"Oh thank you dear," the woman said, "by the way. That boy there, he keeps upsetting you. Is he bothering you?"
"No," Kagome said with a smile, "he's just my 'boyfriend'. We're not agreeing today."
The old lady smiled, giving Kagome a knowing smile and took the younger girls hand in her own.
"It'll be alright dear," she said, "just remember that whatever it is, your both young enough to overcome whatever it is."
"Thank you," Kagome said, "I will remember that."
The lady smiled and watched Kagome go back to Sesshoumaru's table.
"Are you ready to order?" she asked, a little nicer than before.
"Oh yes," Sesshoumaru said, and she didn't like the tone he said it in.
"What will that be?" she asked, pen poised at her notepad.
"I would like a cheeseburger, everything on it, a side of fries, and you to go," he said with a smirk.
Kagome groaned, "the few times you smile. And you do it here, to humiliate me?"
"I don't know what your talking about," he said, "but I guess if I can't have you to go. I'll just wait until you get off."
Kagome looked at him, "that'll be a long time. Why don't you go home, and I'll talk to you later?"
"Of course," he said, "but not until I eat my lunch."
Kagome smiled, and went to put his order in, and grabbed the order for the older couple.
Ten minutes Later
"How are you two doing?" Kagome asked the older couple, she still hadn't gotten any other customers in her side of the diner, but then there were only four other tables with people, "can I get you anything else? More tea?"
"Oh no dear," the lady said as her husband buttered another biscuit, "we're quite alright. Thank you though."
Kagome nodded, before leaving their table.
"Sesshoumaru," she said moving to his table, "how's your food?"
"It's quite alright," he said, "although it would be nicer if you sat with me."
"Can the fake act," she said sitting across from him, "what exactly do you want?"
"I have absolutely no ideas on how to stop the wedding," he said with a cold expression on his face, "and clearly you're to dense to think of anything so I'm stuck with it all on my own."
"Look," she said, "I am having just as much issues as you when it comes to the sabotage. And I don't know why, we're just going to have to wait."
"Right," he said.
Kagome was going to say something when she noticed the old man was flagging her down.
"Is there something I can help you with?" she asked sweetly.
"Yes," the old man said, "can I have some more of those biscuits? They are marvelous."
Kagome smiled, "of course. I'll be back in one moment."
When Kagome took the couple their biscuits, she also handed them the ticket.
"When your ready," she said, "I'll help you at the register."
The older couple nodded, smiling at the girl as she went towards the back to get Sesshoumaru's ticket.
"It would seem," the other waitress said, "that you and the hunny aren't getting along to well."
"No," Kagome said looking at the boy in question, "I wouldn't mind him if he weren't so arrogant and rude. Although I still wouldn't marry him."
The girl nodded, "well why don't you break it off. What'll it do? Break the hearts of your mom and his family?"
"Besides that," Kagome said, "I get out of my own company."
The girl raised a questioning brow.
"I inherit a company if I don't marry the guy," she explained, "it's the only thing staying to keep me from totally killing him. FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING!"
The girl nodded, "take him his ticket. The old couple from table 9 is waiting for you at the register."
Kagome nodded, taking Sesshoumaru his ticket before going to the register.
"I hope you enjoyed your snack," Kagome said to the couple.
"Oh yes," the man said, "those biscuits were good. I'll have to come back for more tomorrow."
"Well thank you," Kagome said as the man handed her the bill and money, "I'll tell the cook. She makes them from scratch."
The man was impressed, "I didn't want to leave your tip on the table. It's not to say your boyfriend will take it, but someone else might."
Kagome giggled, and accepted the money, "thank you."
The couple nodded and left the store. As Kagome walked into the back to put the money in her tip jar in her locker, she noticed Sesshoumaru waiting by the locker area.
"What?" she asked, "are you ready to cash out? I'll be up in a minute."
"You told the old couple I'm your boyfriend?" he asked.
"I had to," she defended herself, "they were getting all nosy."
The demon grinned, "well as a boyfriend. I should tell you, you've got jelly on your cheek."
Before Kagome could say anything, Sesshoumaru pinned her to the wall.
"What are you doing?" she asked as he leaned down so his face was level with hers.
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything, he moved to the side and kissed Kagome's cheek, letting his tongue slide over the skin, licking the jelly off Kagome's face.
A.N. I HOPE YOU LIKED IT! I've been working on it all week. And yeah, I like it! REVIEW!
