Chapter 10: A rose and a question
"How are you?" Kagome asked as they separated.
"I'm good. The real question is, how are you?" Koga asked as he looked at her.
"I'm doing great," Kagome said with a smile. Koga looked at her then turned to Inuyasha.
"Hey mutt-face, didn't I tell you to protect my woman?" Koga asked as he took his seat next to Kagome.
"Shut up you flee-bag. I am protecting her. What would Ayame think if she heard you call Kagome your womam," Inuyasha snapped back.
"Oh dear," Korari said with a giggle as she watched her future son in law and Koga fight over Kagome.
"Can you two stop arguring?" Kagome asked. The boys ignored her and continued arguring.
"Are you ready to order?" a small voice asked. Everyone turned to their left and looked at the small waitress. Makoto cleared his throat before speaking.
"Oh yes. I'll have..."
-With Amaya and Kiere-
"Are you girls happy that your daddy and Kagome are seeing each other?" Izayoi asked as she washed dishes.
"Yeah. So if Kagome and daddy are doing that, does that mean Kagome is going to be our new mommy?" Kiere asked as she took a sip of her chocolate milk.
"She might be. Would you like that?" Izayoi responded as she put the last dish into the dish rack to dry.
"Yeah but will mommy still be our mommy?" Kiere asked with a tilt of the head.
"Of course dear. Your mommy will aleays be your mommy and Kagome will be here too, if you want to talk to her or play girly games that your father doesn't want to play," Izayoi explained to her before looking at her oldest granddaughter. "What about you, Amaya?"
"I like the idea of it. But knowing father, he might mess something up or ask Kagome to marry him after Kiere graduates from college," Amaya responded with a smirk. Izayoi giggled at her granddaughter as Kiere looked confusedly at them.
"I hope not. I would like a grandson before I get too old," Izayoi replied as she open the freezer.
"You're not old grandma!" Kiere shouted in her defense.
"Thanks dear. Now which do you prefer, chocolate or vanilla?" Izayou asked as she held up two containers of ice cream.
--With Inuyasha:
"Then Kagome fell head first into the pool," Sota finished with a laugh as he told a funny memory about Kagome. The whole table erupted with laughter minus Kagome who was blushing.
"Who knew you were such a dare devil Kagome," Inuyasha teased.
"I didn't know the diving board was so high, so when I looked over it, I panicked," Kagome defended as she ate a roasted carrot. Inuyasha shook his head as he dipped a small piece of steak into steak sauce. Korari took a sip of her water then looked at Koga.
"So Koga, how are the kids? Did they like Thailand?"
"They're good. And yes, they liked Thailand. Ayame loved the beautiful scencary. But they can't wait to see their aunt," Koga responded as he took a sip of his wine.
"When are they coming back in?" Makoto asked as he wiped his mouth.
"Next week. Ayame wanted to stay with her parents for a few days," Koga replied as he set his glass down.
Makoto noddrd and turned to his daughter and her 'date'.
"So, are you two dating?"
Kagome paused in her chewing as Inuyasha smirked in his drink.
"Yes," Kagome responded uneasily. Mrs. Higurashi let out a squeal as Koga choked on his spit. Sota groan as he reached into his pocket and handed his father a ten dollar bill.
"I knew. Didn't I tell you Makoto!" Korari said excitedly.
"Yes you did dear," Makoto responded with a smirk but then his face turned serious.
"Really Kagome. You could have anyone, but that mutt," Koga told her.
"Shut up, you mangy wolf," Inuyasha responded as he wrapped an arm around Kagome's shoulder.
"Will that be all for tonight?" Their waitress asked as she started to collect empty plates.
"Strawberry cheesecake?" Makoto questioned as he looked at the table. They nodded.
"Six slices of strawberry cheesecake," Makoto order.
"Eight slices," Kagome called out. Makoto glanced at his daughter.
"For Amaya and Kiere,"
Makoto nodded and ordered eight slices of cheese cake, six slices for here and two to go.
Korari smiled at her daughter.
'She's going to be a good mother,'
****After dinner****
"That was a good dinner," Kagome told Inuyasha as he stopped at a stop sign.
"It was," Inuyasha replied as he wrapped his right hand around Kagome's.
"When do you think I can go back to work?" Kagome asked him.
"Whenever you feel up to it," he told her.
"So can I go back to work this Friday?" Kagome asked as she gave him a puppy look. Inuyasha glanced at her as he continued to drive.
"Fine, but the minute you're not feeling well, I'm taking you home," Inuyasha replied.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Kagome repeated before giving him a kiss on the cheek. Inuyasha smirked in response.
They drove in silence the rest of the way home. When Inuyasha pulled into his driveway and turned off his car, he noticed Kagome had fallen asleep. He sighed, unbuckle his seat belt, and got out his car. He open the door to Kagome's side, unbuckled her seat belt then picked her up bridal style. He placed her purse and container of cheesecake into her lap, before closing the door with his hip.
When he made it to the door to his house, his father open it for him. Inuyasha quietly thanked him before walking in.
"How was dinner?" Izayoi asked as she walked towards his son.
"It was good," Inuyasha replied.
"Do you want me to dress Kagome in her pajamas?" Izayoi asked. Inuyasha nodded in response. Inuyasha and Izayoi walked up the stairs and to his room. Inuyasha laid her on his bed then grabbed her purse and the container of cake. He set her purse on the dresser before telling his mother he would meet her downstairs when she was done. Izayoi nodded as she grabbed a bag on clothes.
Inuyasha walked out the room and went to go check on his children.
He opened Kiere's door and smiled when he saw her clutching the teddy bear Kagome had got her in her hands. He closed her door before checking on Amaya. He smirked when he saw his oldest sprawled across the bed. He closed the door, before walking down stairs.
"We're they good?" Inuyasha asked his father who was putting on a light jacket.
"Angels. Why couldn't you and Sessgomary be like them?" Inu No Taisho asked him. Inuyasha chuckled and shrugged in response.
"Kagome's all settled," Izayoi said as she walked down the stairs.
"That was fast. Thanks mom," Inuyasha responded as he gave her a hug.
"No problem hunny. Her bruises and scratches are healing nicely," Izayoi told him. Inuyasha grinned down at her. Inuyasha released his mother from the hug, and let his father help her put on her jacket.
"Thanks again guys," Inuyasha told his parents as he open the door.
"No problem son. But you could have come home a little later," Izayoi said as she gave her son a kiss on the cheek.
"Your mother is right son. We would like another grandchild," Inu No Taisho told hom as he patted his son on the back. Inuyasha blushed and looked the other way.
"Really guys?" Inuyasha asked. His parents laughed before walking out the door.
"Bye honey. Love you,"
"Bye son,"
"Bye guys. Love you too," Inuyasha responded. He watched them get into their car and drive off before closing the door to his house.
"I wonder if Kagome is up for us going on a date?" Inuyasha mumbled as he walked to the kitchen to put the container of cheese cake away.
***Friday****
"I can't believe I'm going back to work. It's so exciting," Kagome said as she brushed off some dust off her black pants. Inuyasha nodded as he leaned against one of the railings in the elevator. Kagome smiled at him before waiting for the elevator to stop of the 50th floor.
Once the elevator doors open, Kagome walked out with Inuyasha behind her. She was about to go to her office when a friend of hers, Eri, stopped her.
"Oh my gosh, Kagome I heard what happen. I'm so sorry," Eri gushed as she wrapped her arms around Kagome.
"It's okay," Kagome responded as she hugged her back. Kagome missed Inuyasha walking away from them and into her room.
After ten minutes of Eri telling Kagome how sorry she was, Kagome finally escape Eri by telling her she had a lot of work to do, which she did.
Kagome set her back against her closed door and let out a sigh. She leaned off her door and walked to her desk that was filled with papers and envelopes. She threw her white purse and black messanger bag on her couch before standing in front of her desk.
"Let's get to work," she mumbled as she picked up a hand full of papers and envelopes. She walked behind her desk to take a seat in her chair, when she dropped all the papers and enevlopes in shock. In her chair was a bouquet of roses with a note attached. Kagoeme slowly bent down and grabbed the flowers. She sniffed them before taking the note off the stems. She flipped the note open and smiled.
What do you say about me and you going out on Friday night. No kids or annoying friends. Just you and me?
-Inuyasha
"So what do you say Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he leaned against her door frame.
"Yes," Kagome replied excitedly as she ran towards him and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. Inuyasba responded quickly.
"Whoa. Is this what you do when you're at work? I'll appreciate it if you take your lips off my daughter's, Inuyasha."
Kagome and Inuyasha quickly broke apart and turned to look at Makoto Higurashi.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
