Inuyasha felt like the ride home from work was taking far too long. He hated the fact tonight he was needed to stay longer to finish up some unexpected work. It had been a couple of days since Kagome had moved in. It wasn't terrible, but it was as silent as it was when he was living alone. She hadn't attempted to kill him in his sleep like he was honestly expecting her to do so he could punish her, but she still kept to herself.

Whenever they ate, she would say that she wasn't hungry and just went into her room that he managed to force her in. But she still didn't like the fact he had personal access into it. He glanced at the time to see it was quarter after eight. Than the thought popped into his head that possible Kagome was beginning to wonder where he was, and why he was coming home at such a later hour.

Smirking he knew that if that was the case he would have to stay later more often. Pulling up to the apartment, he parked and made his way inside towards the elevator pressing the top floor. He tapped his foot waiting impatiently as he watched the number of the floors go up until the doors opened to the penthouse hallway. A wonderful scent hit his nose the moment the doors opened fully. Not only Kagome's, but one that made his mouth water with the fact he was starving since lunch.

Unlocking the door, he walked inside tossing his keys in a nearby dish. He walked further into the main room and was shocked by the sight in the kitchen. Kagome was cooking. In demon ways, a female's job was to cook for her mate and any of her children, and the fact she was doing it was a pleasing idea.

You could tell she was thinking of him, because on the dining table that he hardly used, she laid out two places. Everything set in a proper format. She changed from her uniform into a pair of shorts and a red shirt that was cut into a v-neck and gave hint to her cleavage. God how he loved when she wore his signature color. But over her clothes she had on a light pink apron that just added to the image of her being a perfect mother and wife.

She was stirring something in a pan when she obviously sensed his presence and turned around.

"Oh you're back." She said not too startled. "I made stir-fry. That okay with you?"

Inuyasha blinked dumbfounded, and finally remembered he wasn't dreaming.

"Sure…I didn't know you could cook."

"I am the daughter of Ai Higurashi. Would you hand me the plates?"He nodded and picked up the two plates set at the table and walked over resting them on the counter.

"I'll be right back." He whispered in her ear. Quickly he darted off to his room and took off his light suit jacket and tossed it in a chair then began fiddling to get his tie off. After applying just a tiny dash of cologne, he briskly walked back to see Kagome had put the apron on the island and was already sitting down, waiting on him.

"Thanks for waiting for me." He said walking around to the other side of the table and taking the seat across from her. Taking his chopsticks Inuyasha took the first bite of his mate's own cooking. Fireworks were exploding inside his mouth from his taste buds. The way the sauce blended into the meat and the flavor of the vegetables over the rice was exquisite.

"Didn't know you could cook this well." He complimented taking another mouthful. He was devouring while Kagome was taking small ladylike bites.

"Are you saying you doubted my skills?" She asked raising an eyebrow but had a playful smirk on her face.

"Well you never told me or showed me until now."

"You never asked about it." She muttered quietly but Inuyasha heard perfectly.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Try and think about it."

Once they both finished Kagome took both plates and after rinsing them she put them away in the dishwasher when she felt arms in-circle around her shoulders creating an 'x' over her breasts. She felt a warm breath against her neck as a whisper entered her ear.

"Thanks for dinner," He said kissing her neck while running his tongue over the courting mark. Kagome shuddered from the sudden arousal she felt from feeling his touch.

"I'm going to get some fresh air." She excused walking over to the storm doors that led out onto the balcony.

Inuyasha didn't even try to stop her from doing so. In fact he just smirked enjoying the chase he got from her, knowing she was beginning to give in. He walked over to the open door out in the balcony and stood in the doorway. The way she stood outside looking out and the wind blowing her hair was like she was a goddess. He took a step outside, a sudden breeze passed by blowing his hair in the wind.

"You have quite a view from up here." She spoke softly as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Yeah," He said moving over next to her. Although this information wasn't anything new since he heard her already admit that. "It's great for New Years and summer fireworks."

Kagome shook her head. "Nope, the shrine is. Climbing up on the roof and looking out to the city, and then the sky is a great view."

"It has to be the same from up here." He protested but she just shook her head again.

"Nope, totally different. At the shrine you can actually look up and see the stars above you."

"Keh, the what if you fell?"

She shot him an annoyed look. "Like you don't probably crawl up to the roof of here."

"Well I'm a hanyou, you're a human you could have broken your neck."

"Please," She scoffed. "I'm practically a pro at getting on the roof." Inuyasha grinned at a sudden idea as he wrapped an arm around her waist and made a giant leap in the air. "OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Going up on the rook 'Miss Pro'." He chuckled landing on the slated roof. He was right by the edge, and Kagome had her legs wrapped around his waist and clinging him to dear life in fear that she might fall off and Inuyasha was enjoying this. It would be another thing he would have to do more often.

Taking a few steps back to hopefully relieve the poor girl, it didn't. So managing to un-wrap her legs from his waist, he slung them over his arm and held her in a cradle.

"Ok…I feel better now." Kagome shuddered and tried to get out of his hold that he refused to loosen, but just pushed her harder into his chest.

"You'd lose your balance and just fall." Kagome didn't try to even argue and just looked up at the black sky and could at least find a few stars.

"I bet the night sky was really pretty when you were just a little kid." Inuyasha crained his neck back and remembered the times before all these buildings were made. It was just a small town then.

"Yeah, there were more stars than sky." He smiled. It was cozy sitting in his lap. Being tired, Kagome felt so relaxed that she might have been able to fall asleep. But knowing him, he would take her into his bed. "You tired?"

"Yeah, probably from all my studying." She yawned while Inuyasha let out a snicker.

"You study too much woman."

"I probably studied more than you did."

"I didn't have to! When I was your age I knew all the bullshit they taught me…" Both sat in silence at what he just said.

"That's why I find it awkward to get married to you." She murmured as he raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"You're like seven years older than me, and that's only counting in human years. It's kinda pedophilic."

"Is not." He scoffed. "Technically, when I reach twenty-five my aging slows down. So I'm going to be twenty-five for another fifteen years or so then I finally turn twenty-six.

"So you're going to be running Taisho co. for the next hundred years or so?"

"Possibly, depends when I have pups."

"That isn't happening anytime for a while now pal." Kagome objected.

"We'll see." He smirked in return.

"Can you take me down? I have- SCHOOL!" She screamed the last part at the sudden jump he made back down on the balcony. Kagome once again had her legs back around his torso and her arms slinged around his neck. "You've got to stop doing that

"Nah, I don't think so." He smirked teasingly. "are you so scared you might need to sleep in my room?"

"Goodnight." She said instantly letting go and walking off to her room. He could tell she wasn't too mad, she apparently knew he was playing with her although he was also serious. He listened as she walked down the hall to her room and lightly closed the door behind her instead of slamming it like she usually did.

Deciding it had been a long and successful day, Inuyasha made his way back to his own room. Just stripping and putting on a pair of sweats he laid on his bed looking at the light from under Kagome's door until it went out. Rolling over on his side he sighed and closed his eyes as sleep came upon him.

"Night Gome."
