Chapter 9: Reunited


"My brother booked the next flight here; he found a lot of interesting things about Kikyou. Apparently they are interesting enough for him to have to come down here himself."

"What do you mean 'interesting things', Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, bringing the pillow to her lap as she sat.

"Like I would know, I never knew Kikyou as well now that I realize it." Inuyasha grumbled. It could be anything, and a part of Inuyasha didn't want to know. Sesshoumaru was able to dig up anything, from past lovers to old nicknames. He didn't know how he did it.

Kikyou, what have you gotten yourself into? He thought as he glanced at his left hand. After all these years, neither he nor Kikyou had taken it off. Quickly looking at Kagome's hand, he sighed. She wasn't wearing his ring. There was no hope of her possibly being Kikyou now, why hadn't he noticed that before? It could have saved him from all the doubts he had. However, Inuyasha was happy that she wasn't Kikyou. He liked Kagome as her own person. He may have liked her a little too much.

"Why don't you know Kikyou that well? You guys are married… you're supposed to know each other inside and out."

"We pretty much married for the money," Inuyasha told her. "Sure, I liked Kikyou a lot back in college, but I liked her intelligence when it came to business. I liked it enough to marry her. So we married and took over the business when my dad retired."

"That explains the sleeping with other women." Kagome replied, causing Inuyasha to scoff.

"She was never in it for love in the first place. Neither was I. My youkai hated her defiant ways and craved the flesh of a submissive woman. So, I began sleeping around. I was always protected, though. Soon enough, she came home smelling like another man and I flipped. I became so crazy that I thought I could kill her. That's why I got so scared when I flipped on you.

Sometimes I wonder if it was just the marriage driving my youkai insane when it came to her. Because before we married she smelt like someone else once and I didn't mind at all. Then all of a sudden we're married and she comes home covered in another guy's scent I black out, and when I've come to she's terrified and my knuckles are bleeding from the various holes I punched in the wall."

"So no matter what, you'll always want a submissive woman?" Kagome asked. If she had any hope of being with him, they went flying out of the door now. She simply could not just tame down her fire for one guy, no. She just couldn't be this submissive little mouse he wanted.

Inuyasha chuckled and shook his head. "I used to, until I met you." Kagome blinked at him.

"What?"

"Yeah, normally I enjoy your fire, earlier today was just all sorts of fucked up." He said as he began playing with the ends of the blanket he was wrapped in. "I only want you to listen to me when it comes to protecting you. The only dominating I want to do to you is in this bedroom." He waggled his eyebrows at her and efficiently dodged the pillow that came hurling at him. Kagome was blushing as she folded her arms and looked away from him. Inuyasha laughed.

"You're such a fucking prude sometimes."

"I am not!"

"Please, every time I say something suggestive you go into a blushing frenzy!"

"Okay, okay fine, say something sexual then."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at Kagome, but listened to her nonetheless. "I don't think you could handle the ways I could rock your world. I'd have you writhing underneath me in five seconds if you'd let me." His voice took a low, seductive, and husky tone as he looked at her, and expected her to blush. She didn't, and he found himself taken aback.

Kagome tilted her head to the side, and a smirk graced her luscious lips.

"Please, I'm a dancer. I am fit and I am flexible. I am able to move in ways you can't even imagine. I could fuck you in so many ways that you would see stars by the time I'm done with you. If anyone's world is going to be rocked, it's yours." She had scooted from her spot closer to him, and her finger tapped on his nose for the last few syllables. Inuyasha just stared at her and she burst into laughter. Was that drool?

"I told you, I'm not a prude." She said, standing up. Inuyasha quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to lie down on the bed once more.

"Do you think I'm going to let you leave this room now, little miss?" Inuyasha told her as he swiftly moved on top of her, pinning her hands beside her head. The flashbacks of her dancing came into his mind, and he felt himself harden instantly. Kagome giggled. She couldn't notice it, good.

"Yes, because your brother is coming."

"To hell with my brother." He said as he bent down to kiss her. Kagome's eyes widened for only a second before she returned the kiss.

"Shall we see how well you can rock my world?" Inuyasha breathed in her ear, sending shivers throughout her body. These shivers were definitely from pleasure. Kagome moaned softly as his hand began caressing the skin right under her breasts.

"Inuyasha, I think you should know—"He kissed her again as his hand traveled down to her shorts, cutting her off. Kagome's brain nearly shut off at the contact, but his hand moving lower sent alarm signals to her brain. Once he broke the kiss, she spoke again.

"I'm a virgin."

Inuyasha immediately stopped, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he looked at her.

"What?"

Kagome sighed and shimmied away from him as she sat up. "I have never had sexual intercourse with a male." She told him. "Do you comprehend me now?"

"I know what you said, woman! But I mean, what you just said, that's not very virgin-like of you!"

"I just had to show you that I am not a prude!" She exclaimed. "Plus, your reaction was hilarious." She smiled, and Inuyasha growled suggestively.

"Now I have to call your bluff and say that you wouldn't be able to rock my world. Do you even know the basics to having sex?" Kagome laughed hard.

"Are you kidding me?! I am twenty three years old, of course I know all about sex. You're acting as if I'm ten or something."

"You're the first virgin I've seen in a while, sue me."

Kagome made a face at him. "I'm just one of those people who would like to wait until I know I'm in love. Sorry I'm not that easy." Inuyasha smirked at her.

"One night with me and I'll make you fall in love."

"Sometimes I think you're worse than your friend."

"Only around you. I mean come on; I'm taking a vow of celibacy just for you. I need to let out my sexuality somehow." He joked. Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled. Suddenly a knock came on his bedroom door.

"Yea?" Inuyasha called out.

"Inuyasha-sama, Sesshoumaru-sama has arrived." The voice of Myouga came to their ears, and the two sighed.

"Alright," He replied.

"Time to face the music," Kagome said. Somehow, she feared what the older Takahashi had to tell them. It could be anything from dirty dealings she did within the club or that she had a terminal illness or something. Either way, Kagome was scared.

Inuyasha was scared too, although he wouldn't show it. Opening the door, he watched as Myouga bowed once more.

"He said you are to meet him in the conference room."

"Conference room?" Kagome asked. "We have a conference room?" Inuyasha nodded.

"Yes, thank you Myouga. And yeah, when my parents lived here my father liked holding business meetings from time to time in the pleasure of his own home. I on the other hand do not like taking my work home. So when he retired and took my mother out to tour the world, I basically pretended like the room never existed." Inuyasha replied. Kagome nodded and pursed her lips together.

"I see, I guess that's why I didn't even know it existed."

"There is a lot to this house you don't know existed."

"Hey, that's not very nice."

"I never said I was a nice person."

"I should kick you."

"Only if I can kiss you."

The walk to the conference room took a good few minutes, in which were spent making smart ass remarks to each other. Inuyasha took a deep breath as they approached the double doors, and swung them open. They both stared at the tall, silver-haired male seated on the desk, sipping on what looked like whiskey on the rocks.

"Took you a while," His smooth voice made its way to her ears, and Kagome was just mesmerized. While Inuyasha had that wild, unruly attractiveness to him, his brother was sexy in all ways elegant. He was tall, much taller than Inuyasha who already stood tall at 6'2, Sesshoumaru had to have been around 6'6. His facial markings just accentuated his bold features, and his pointed ears gave him that ethereal look. He looked intimidating and breath-taking at the same time. However, he seemed too cold and distant for Kagome's liking.

"What did you need to show us?" Inuyasha asked, and Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome.

"This woman isn't your wife, Inuyasha, yet she bears a striking resemblance to her… seems like you never learn from your mistakes the first time, hm?" He criticized, earning a gasp from the woman and a growl from his brother.

"You didn't come over to fucking insult me, Sesshoumaru, get on with it." He said, trying to keep his temper in check. He was too grown to fall for his instigation. And he didn't need Kagome to see any bloodshed.

"Hm, very well." He simply said, and he pointed at the manila folder on the table. "Let's begin, shall we?"

Kagome immediately disliked Sesshoumaru the moment he had insulted Inuyasha, but she bit her tongue to keep herself from stepping over the line. She had to respect him, of course, not only was he Inuyasha's brother but he singlehandedly conquered the business world as well as the police force in China. There were even rumors that he was gaining control of the Mafia. This guy was big, big news.

Opening the folder, Sesshoumaru took out what looked like pictures and laid them out in a row. "These are placed in chronological order, I want you two to study them all very carefully and tell me what you notice."

"Just can't tell us straight out, huh." Inuyasha grumbled as he took the first picture from the row. Sesshoumaru snorted, and he rolled his eyes. He read the date on the picture, it was back in 2005. Kikyou couldn't have been older than twenty two. He scanned the picture, unable to find what was wrong.

"I don't get it."

Kagome studied the others, and opened her mouth to speak.

"There," She pointed to somewhere on one picture. "The same man is present in every picture, same distance from Kikyou. There's too much time in between some of the pictures to be considered a coincidence. That must be the stalker…"

"He looks like Naraku." Inuyasha said, his eyes narrowing at the picture. In every picture, there was a man whose eyes were shielded by sunglasses, but the long hair and features were very similar to Naraku's. However, Inuyasha had to admit, Naraku's hair was much longer and wavier than this man. But, that didn't rule him out; he could have worn a wig for all they knew.

He studied Kikyou's form, and sighed. She seemed so oblivious to the danger that was so close to her as she stood at the cross light, clad in her work attire. It must have been their lunch break, for Kikyou always enjoyed walking to get lunch. All of the photos were taken during her lunch break, and Inuyasha growled. How could he have missed all of this? He felt like the worst husband ever.

"Naraku may have ill intent towards you and Kikyou, but he has too much time on his hands to stalk Kikyou like a fool." Sesshoumaru said, bringing him out of his thoughts. "He may know Naraku, since they bear a similar resemblance. Perhaps he has a brother that few know about. I may look into that when I return home." He collected the pictures and brought out two more. "These however, might spark your interest more."

Inuyasha looked at the pictures and his anger flared.

Kagome gasped. The picture looked differed from the others, located at a fast food joint. Kikyou, however, wasn't there. It was her. It was Kagome and Miroku. The two were ordering their food, and guessing by the angle the security footage was taken the camera was behind the register. The stalker they finally put a face on was seated at the table behind them, his eyes glued to her as he held a newspaper to his face. The other one was from security footage as well, but showing a larger amount of the restaurant, and the same man was there seated at a table behind them, this time the newspaper was down and his cell phone was up. Could he have been taking pictures? Kagome looked up at Inuyasha.

"This is why I didn't want you leaving the building." He growled, and Kagome gulped as she nodded.

"It would do you well to listen to your… husband; sometimes he isn't all that dense." Sesshoumaru said, taking the pictures and putting them back in the folder. "These are emails we had pulled up from Kikyou's work and personal email."

"How do you get all of these?" Kagome asked, and Sesshoumaru threw her a look.

"Connections." He replied nonchalantly.

Inuyasha read them.

March 10, 2010 12:43 pm. It was to her work e-mail.

Dear, Kikyou.

I have admired you for a while now, but you don't know me. I, however, know you. I've watched you since the day I saw you. I'm sending you this e-mail in hopes that you will meet me at 3254 Hikashi Ave at 3 o'clock pm tomorrow. I will be waiting, my dear.

-O

"O?" Inuyasha asked himself. "O as in Onigumo?" He said, and he looked up at Sesshoumaru. "Where's her reply?" He questioned, handing the paper to Kagome.

"There was none. She may have deleted them, and with your network, once they are deleted they are forever lost. I surprised to find that she didn't delete these."

"She was probably collected evidence, so when he finally revealed himself she could put him away. That's what I would do." Kagome spoke, and she began reading the next one.

March 13, 2010 1:23 pm. It was another work email.

Kikyou, why haven't you showed up? I'll ask you again to meet me. Same time, same place. If you don't show, I may get a little upset.

-O

"At least we know she didn't meet with him." Kagome said, and she skimmed through the next emails until a particular one caught her eye. He had gotten a hold of her personal e-mail account.

January 6, 2012 8:07 pm.

Why don't you ever reply to my e-mails, dear Kikyou? It's been two years now, and not once have I received a reply. I've grown terribly upset with this hard-to-get thing you're pulling with me. It's that stupid husband of yours, isn't it? Don't worry; I have something planned for him. He won't live to see another day. Don't fret; no harm will come to you at all. You will be mine. I will make sure of it.

-O

"Still, no reply." Kagome said. Inuyasha took the paper from her and read.

"Fucking bastard," He looked at the date and his eyes widened. "This was a month before the plane crash." He looked at Kagome. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru.

"We need to find him, and put him away."

Sesshoumaru nodded his head. "Indeed. However, he is annoyingly very clever. He's used a different e-mail address each time, and whenever we traced the emails back the IP addresses came from libraries and computer centers." Inuyasha growled.

"How hard can it be to find this fucker?! I'll fucking rip his throat out!"

"Calm down, little brother. It's only a matter of time before he slips."

"Like in the hospital," Kagome spoke, and Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.

"You've seen him?"

"No, he didn't show his face… but he apologized for hurting me. He admitted to planning the plane crash, but he thought Inuyasha would be in my—err, Kikyou's place."

"What were you doing on the plane?"

"I… I don't know." Kagome admitted, her eyebrows drawing together in confusion. Why had she gone on a plane, to Los Angeles out of all places?

"Kagome can't remember anything in the past two years," Inuyasha told his brother, and Sesshoumaru pursed his lips together.

"I see. Well, for now all you can do is wait until we can give this buffoon a name. I will look into Naraku Onigumo; perhaps he could have hired someone to play her stalker."

"This is why you came here? To show us pictures and e-mails?!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "I could have done all of that myself!"

"Bite your tongue, little brother; you know full well you lack the means to obtain these." Sesshoumaru snapped. "I have business to attend with none other than Naraku tomorrow. Surely you would like for me to obtain what could be valuable information from him as well?"

Inuyasha sighed. "Very well, I'm going to bed now." He glanced at the large clock hung over the door. It was nearing ten. They had missed dinner, but Inuyasha didn't mind. From the looks of it, neither did Kagome.

"I'll join you," Kagome spoke, and Sesshoumaru merely nodded.

"I will retire to my old bedroom; I hope it hasn't been damaged due to your ignorance."

"Like I would touch your shit." Inuyasha retorted.

"Such foul language." He heard Sesshoumaru mutter to himself. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and grabbed Kagome's hand, leading them to the bedroom.

Once inside the bedroom, Inuyasha sighed.

"That was the first time I haven't attempted to rip his throat out." Kagome chuckled and shook her head.

"That's good, then." Yawning, she laid down on her spot on the bed.

"Damned woman and her left side bullshit," Inuyasha grumbled to himself as he pulled the covers over him as he lied down. Kagome giggled and playfully smacked him.

"Oh shush—" A yawn cut her off, and Inuyasha pulled her into his arms.

"Sleep, woman. I'm taking you out for breakfast tomorrow."

"But what about the stalker—"

"Don't worry about that son of a bitch; I doubt he'll try anything while I'm around. I'd notice him from a mile away thanks to those pictures."

Kagome smiled sleeping and nodded. "Okay," She said as she instantly fell asleep.

"I will never get over how fast you are able to fall asleep." Inuyasha whispered to her, and he threw his arm over his eyes.

He could get used to this, sleeping with Kagome, waking up with her in his arms. The thought sent his heart soaring, but then the knowledge that this was temporary soured it.

Well, maybe she won't be gone for good. Maybe we can work something out after all this is over.

Those were his final thoughts before he joined his raven haired beauty in sleep.


As usual, she woke first. Blinking the sleep away from her eyes, she glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was nine in the morning. Groaning, she wondered how she could have slept in this long.

We went to bed at ten, that's almost twelve hours of sleep! Turning around, she looked at Inuyasha.

"Hey," She whispered to him, receiving a grunt in response. "It's nine, and I'm hungry." Suddenly, his arms wrapped around her as he pushed on her back, burying his nose in her neck.

Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha opened his eyes and brought his head up to look at her.

"Morning," He said, and Kagome shivered at how sexy his voice sounded. Something about a man's voice when he just wakes up…

"Morning." Kagome said as she smiled. Inuyasha buried his face in the crook of her neck once more.

"I could stay like this forever," She heard him groan, and a blush prettied her cheeks. Kagome giggled as he got up. "Too bad that we're starving." He added, making his way to the bathroom. Kagome sat up and made a face at him.

"I wanted to shower first," She pouted. Inuyasha smirked at her as he took off the shirt he wore.

"I don't mind sharing the shower." He said with a waggle of his eyebrows. Kagome blushed and turned away. "Saves time and water, ya know."

"Yeah, yeah, just take your shower!" Kagome quipped, fighting the smile that was trying to form on her mouth. She heard Inuyasha chuckle as he closed the door behind him after tossing the shirt in the laundry hamper beside the door.

"Pervert," She grumbled as she turned on the TV he had mounted to the wall on the wall opposite the bed. She began flipping through channels and decided to stay on the cartoon channel. She leaned back onto the pillows and watched the little sponge and starfish catch jellyfish. Kagome soon found herself giggling at the show.

By the time the show ended, Inuyasha stepped out of the shower, and Kagome's eyes widened as she took his form in.

That towel hanged dangerously low, and looked like it could fall off any minute. Biting her lip, she dashed to the bathroom, not saying a word to the hanyou.

Inuyasha blinked as he watched her close the door, and shrugged to himself as he got dressed. Slipping into a pair of boxers, he grabbed a pair of slightly loose jeans and a dark red V-neck shirt and began to put the clothes on.

As he was finished, he sat down on the bed to put a pair of black socks on. Looking at the television, he chuckled. Leave it to Kagome to watch cartoons.

After a few moments, Inuyasha found himself engrossed into the cartoon. A few minutes after that, Kagome emerged from the bathroom and Inuyasha stared at her.

She was walking sex at that exact moment, her hair a wet and wild mess, and the towel that clung to her skin showed off every curve of her body. Not to mention it was incredibly short on her. He smirked as she caught him staring, and laughed as she ran to the closet.

"Don't be so shy, Kagome, I was only appreciating." He said loud enough for her to hear.

"Shut up, pervert!" Came her muffled reply. Inuyasha chuckled as he turned his attention back to the television.

Kagome soon emerged wearing a white V-neck t-shirt, a black cardigan sweater, and blue tight fitting jeans. Slightly running back to the bathroom, she began blow-drying her hair. Afterwards, she tied it up in a tousled bun. Deciding to not wear make-up today, she smiled at her reflection. Emerging from the bathroom, she looked on Inuyasha as she slipped into her plain black ballet flats.

"I'm ready." She told him, and Inuyasha nodded.

Secretly eying her as he slipped into his sneakers, he marveled in her natural beauty. However, he decided to tease her about it as they walked to the garage.

"You look like you can blend in with high school kids," He told her as they entered the car. Kagome rolled her eyes but still smiled.

"I've always looked younger than I was." She told him, buckling in her seat belt. Inuyasha didn't say anything as he opened the garage with the remote, and backed out.

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked as he drove towards the main gate. Inuyasha shrugged.

"I don't know. There are tons of places we could go." This earned him a weird look.

"Okay… then where would you like to go?"

Inuyasha thought for a while, and then nodded his head. "We can go to IHOP." He told her, and she nodded.

"Sounds good."

The rest of the drive was spent in comfortable silence.

Reaching the diner, Inuyasha quickly parked and the two go out. Locking the car, he took Kagome's hand in his and began walking to the entrance.

Kagome fought the blush that was dying to appear on her face, and kicked herself mentally.

Silly Kagome, you fucking sleep with the man and you're going nuts over him holding your hand? Gee, I wonder how it'd be like once you decide to sex him up.

I haven't heard from you in a while, and I'm not going to sex him up! Kagome retorted mentally. Her nagging conscience has returned. Sometimes, she felt insane for having such a foul mouthed and bitchy conscience. Was anyone else like this?

Suuure, I'm a part of you, I know what goes on in this head of yours. Hell, I'm the one that thinks of the steamy stuff he can do to you. Imagine what his hands could do? Or if he's packing big… What's his shoe size?

Kagome nearly rolled her eyes, and decided to shove that part of her out of her brain temporarily.

I am clearly insane. She told herself.

"Two, please." She heard Inuyasha say, gaining her attention. She looked at the hostess and almost dropped. The hostess looked at her as well and her eyes widened as she instantly paled. She looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Miss?" Inuyasha asked, raising an eyebrow at the woman.

"K-Kagome?" The hostess spoke, and Inuyasha choked on his next words. Kagome just stared at her as tears formed in her eyes.

"Sango." Instantly, the woman now known as Sango called out to her coworkers.

"I'm taking a break, something just came up." She said as she grabbed Kagome, ruthlessly dragging her to the restroom.

"Hey lady, that's my wife—"

"Inuyasha, please, I've got this." She said, throwing him a pleading look. Inuyasha growled and nodded, taking a seat on the padded bench against the wall.

Entering the bathroom, Sango whirled around and brought her hand across Kagome's face in a harsh slap.

"How fucking dare you." Sango seethed. "You're dead. You're supposed to be dead, and I see that you're fully alive and well and on the arm of Inuyasha fucking Takahashi for crying out loud!" She exclaimed. Kagome held her cheek in shock as the tears fell. Shaking her head she opened her mouth to speak.

"I'm so sorry; I wanted to tell you so bad." She said; her voice breaking. "There was a mistake the day of the accident. The world thinks I'm his wife. They think I'm Kikyou Takahashi," Kagome said through her tears, and she began explaining everything she could to her.

After about five minutes of explaining via short story, Sango began to tear up and threw her arms around Kagome in a hug.

"I'm sorry! I've missed you so much… I'm taking an early out, we have so much to talk about!" She said, cupping the cheek she had slapped in her hand. "I'm sorry, it was a reflex… I've cried for about a good two months when they said you were dead. I broke down during the funeral, I was just angry that you didn't tell me you were alive. But now I understand, and for that I'm so, so, so, so sorry."

Kagome smiled tearfully as she embraced her best friend again. "It's okay; I would have done the same. Remember, though, I'm Kikyou."

"Got it… Kikyou." Sango said as they opened the door to exit.

Inuyasha immediately smelt her tears, and growled menacingly at Sango. "The fuck you do to her?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and sniffed. "Relax, Inuyasha, it was just a tearful reunion. I'd like you to meet my best friend, Sango."

"At least he's over protective of you," Sango grumbled as she bowed her head. "Sango, Sango Morimoto."

He grumbled a few incoherent words to himself but returned the bow. "Inuyasha, Inu—"

"I know who you are," Sango chuckled. "Hell, the whole world knows who you are."

Inuyasha just scoffed and turned his head away. "I'm hungry, woman, can we eat now?"

"Oh! Yes, we can. Sango—?"

"No problem, right this way." Sango said, motioning them to follow her after she picked up a couple menus. Seating them in a booth, she handed them their menu. "When you're done, let me know. That's when I'll take my early leave." Kagome nodded and Sango left them alone.

"Best friend, huh?" Inuyasha told her, and Kagome nodded.

"I've known her since I could remember." She admitted, and Inuyasha nodded.

"I remember Miroku talking about a Sango; the lecher is practically head over heels for her."

Kagome blinked at him, and her eyes widened. No wonder it was as if Kagome knew the woman Miroku was talking about! And he did tell her that she had a friend who died on the plane crash. Face palming herself, she groaned.

"I should have realized!"

"Well don't beat yourself up about it." Inuyasha muttered as he began deciding on what to order. Sango soon returned, with a little notebook and pen.

"So, what will it be for you guys?"

The two gave their orders and Sango smiled as she walked away. Kagome and Inuyasha began chatting idly as they waited, unsure of what to really talk about.

Then, after a decently long wait, their food came, and the couple quickly ate.

"Oh, this is so good!" Kagome moaned, and Inuyasha's ears twitched as he eyed her. "Mmmm,"

This woman… Inuyasha thought, deciding not to comment. That meant one thing, though; Kagome would be very responsive in bed. The thought alone spiked his own arousal, and he hoped to Kami that there weren't any youkai in the vicinity.

The rest of their mean went by in another comfortable silence.

Paying the bill, Kagome motioned for Sango, letting her know they were done. She nodded and spoke to her manager who easily let her go. Pulling off the apron she wore, she grabbed her belongings and followed them out.

"Do you have a car, Sango?"

"No,"

Kagome made a face. "What happened to your red car?" She asked, and Sango threw her a weird look.

"I totaled it in a car crash last year, you were there!" She said. Kagome pursed her lips, deep in thought.

"You forgot to tell her about your missing memory, huh?" Inuyasha said. "You can ride with us." He told Sango, who nodded. "Kagome can't remember the past two years." Sango's eyes widened.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I hadn't realized—"

"You apologize too much, woman."

Sango threw him a glare.

"It's very rude to interrupt." She told him. Inuyasha scoffed and remained silent. As they assembled in the car, Sango sighed.

"I need another job." She said, and Kagome looked at her.

"Well…" She trailed off, looking at Inuyasha. "I need a bodyguard?"

"Whoa, what? I need a body guard who's able to fight and protect you—"

"I'm very skilled in martial arts, black belt and state champion six years in a row. Dancing was just a hobby." Sango interjected.

"Yeah, and I trust her with my life. She would be perfect!" Kagome said, pouting at Inuyasha. "Please?"

Inuyasha looked at her, then at Sango through the rearview mirror and sighed. "I will consider it."

Kagome smiled. "Thank you!"

Sango bowed her head. "I would be honored to be your bodyguard, Kagome. Besides, it'll give us much time to catch up." She said.

"Of course. Anyways, do you still live with your parents?"

"No, I still live in our apartment."

"…Our?"

"Yes, we moved there two years ago. I can show you sometime, if you'd like. Maybe help you regain some of your memory." Sango offered, and Kagome nodded.

"I'd like that."

"I've really missed you, Sango."

"I've missed you too, Kagome."

The rest of the ride home was void of speaking, only the music from the radio playing.

Kagome felt even more a peace with herself. The next step was finding a way to contact her family.

Other than that, she was truly happy at that exact moment, stalker and pretend life be damned.
