Okay guys, you don't know how sorry I am that this update took so long, but with school and everything life has been CRAZY! And I've somehow managed to get myself involved in ever school activity possible. Not even kidding, I'm in the play, student council, leadership, and one of the sports teams, plus I actually have to do school work, or at least that's what my mom tells me. Anyways I'm sorry it's a short chapter, hope you like it anyways. Also I am going to apologize ahead of time, my next chapter won't be out for awhile most likely, unfortunately someone important to me has passed on, and I need some time to deal with that before I come back to writing, I'm very sorry, but I hope you all understand.

Summary: Kagome loved him, but she thought he loved someone else. She disappeared with a secret she never wanted him to know, he never stopped looking for her, but what happens when he finds out her secret about their past, and finds her.

Chapter title: INU-BABY!

Inuyasha claimed her lips. Kagome melted against him; every time he kissed her made her feel like it was the first time all over again. All thoughts of anger and what Inuyasha needed to tell her pushed out of her mind. 'How can he do this to me?' she mused in her muddled mind.

His touch was much different from his impulsive kiss; it was gentle and more than made up for it. His hands set her skin ablaze with heat, made her heart flutter and set goose bumps crawling over her skin again. His one hand on her hip, gently caressing up and down, it slid up her shirt feeling the soft skin of her back until it reached the clasp of her bra, before it retreated down back to her hip where it stayed obediently.

'I'm still so in love with him….'

Inuyasha wanted nothing more than this. This moment. This feeling of her body arched against his, the feeling of her welcoming his kiss, the feeling of her lips against his. It was all he had dreamed of for the past 5 years. Time melted away and Inuyasha felt like he was 18 again, and he had a 16 year old Kagome in his arms, like they were in the past. But they weren't. They had a daughter, new lives, and a bad past, but none of that mattered at the moment, none of it. Because in that moment, they were together.

Guilt filled Inuyasha, no matter how much he wanted this, it was wrong. He pulled back from the kiss and leaned his forehead against hers, "Kagome, we can't, this is wrong. You're with Kouga, and I'm with-" he was cut off yet again, but this time by a loud knocking on the door. Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome and glared at the door, willing the person on the other side to go away. It didn't work, the person knocked again. So, frustrated, Inuyasha made his way to the door. He noticed Kagome pulling on her jacket and retrieving her purse from where it had dropped minuets before.

Inuyasha heaved open the door only to be nearly tackled to the ground, "INU-BABY!" came the gleeful shout from the girl who had flung herself onto Inuyasha.

Inuyasha and Kagome just stared in disbelief. Kagome because she now knew what Inuyasha had been trying to tell her, and Inuyasha because she was the last person he had expected to see.

"Kikyo what are you doing here?" he finally managed to ask.

Kikyo smiled, "I missed you so much, I just had to come see you, I was so lonely without you baby. Didn't you miss me?"

Inuyasha hesitated, glancing at Kagome, who still went unnoticed by Kikyo, but she had her back turned to the couple, "Yeah, of course I missed you babe. It's good to see you," he said turning back to Kikyo and quickly kissed her.

When Inuyasha pulled back from Kikyo, Kagome had turned back to face the pair, "well Inuyasha, it's late, and I promised Kouga I would call him tonight, so I'm going to go."

Kikyo reached out and stopped Kagome before she could pass, "wait, aren't you Kagome? I thought you, like, disappeared."

Kagome laughed cheerfully, "Yes, that's' me. But I don't think I really disappeared, just left for awhile. I'm glad to see you're doing well Kikyo."

"Uh, yeah thanks, I guess." Kikyo clung possessively to Inuyasha's arm, and he looked very uncomfortable.

Kagome smiled, "Kikyo, don't worry. I'm not going to try and steal Inuyasha, he's all yours. I was only here for a business meeting. And besides, I'm not sure my boyfriend would be pleased if I cheated on him," she said soothingly, Kikyo visible relaxed, but not much.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I never thought that. But uhhhhhh it's good to see you're well too Kagome, goodnight," Kikyo blushed.

"Goodnight Kikyo, Goodnight Inuyasha," Kagome then proceeded to exit the hotel room and began to make her way down the hall to the elevators.

"Kagome! Kagome wait!" Inuyasha was jogging down the hall after her, he stopped in front of her, "Kagome, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to find out like that, I really didn't."

Kagome looked Inuyasha in the eyes before she said, "Don't worry, if I remember correctly you got to meet my boyfriend this morning the same way. Inuyasha as much as I would like for it to be like it had 5 years ago, it can't be. We both grew up, and our lives are separate now. It doesn't mean we can't be friends. I know we still have things to deal with, and friendship might take a bit of work, but I brought that upon myself, and I plan to work for it." Kagome could see Kikyo peering out from the door, but knew she was out of earshot. "Inuyasha, I know you just got her, but I was wondering if I could take Inume tonight, then take her shopping in the morning tomorrow. If that's alright with you."

"Yeah it's cool; I know she really wants to see you anyways. I guess it's been awhile since she last saw you huh?" he said.

Kagome looked at her feet, "Yeah, I had problems getting away from my classes and all. It's probably been about 8 or 9 months. Not as bad as 5 years, but I still missed her a lot Inuyasha."

"Well, you knew that there was an Inume to miss. I was spared the pain of missing her. You can pick her up from Sessh and Rins room. Next floor up, room 512." He began to turn away, but said over his shoulder, "Oh, and Kag's. I thought I told you before, all my friends call me Yash!"

Kagome smiled and headed towards the elevators, and Inuyasha back to his room, but Kagome stopped when she remembered something, and quickly turned around, "Yash!" he turned to see why she had called him, "ummmm, we left my car at the restaurant, I don't have any way to get home."

"Oh, right," Inuyasha stopped for a minuet, "Alright, you head up to Sesshomaru's room and get Inume; I'll meet you up there in a second."

"Alright, thank you," Kagome smiled.

"Keh." He mumbled back, and went into his room.

Kagome got onto the elevator and pressed the button for the next floor up. Waiting patiently until the doors re-opened she quietly exited and searched for room 512, when she finally found it she knocked on the wooden door. After a moment of hearing shuffling around the door finally opened to reveal an exhausted looking Sesshomaru.

"Kagome? What are you doing here?" He asked slightly surprised.

Kagome laughed, "Nice outfit Fluffy!"

Sesshomaru looked down at what he was wearing, and much to his surprise he was only wearing his boxers and a towel around his shoulders. He blushed. Without a word he walked, more like ran, back into the room and into the bathroom, Kagome just laughed and let herself into the hotel room. The room was exactly like Inuyasha's in every way. Except for on the couch there was a sleeping Inume and a sleepy looking Rin.

"Kagome? What are you doing here this time of night?" Rin asked before yawning.

"It's only 8:30 Rin, and I came to pick up Inume, Inuyasha said I could have her for the night." Kagome exclaimed.

"Well that was very un-Inuyasha like," Sesshomaru said, walking in with more clothes on. But before he could say anything else Kagome whipped around and smacked him, hard. "Owww, what was that for?" He whined.

Kagome glared at him, "you're lucky that's all you get mister! How could you not tell me Inuyasha was with Kinky-ho? You could have at least warned me."

"WH-what? Why? Why would-" Rin Interrupted him.

"Sesshomaru, Shut up!" She exclaimed glaring at him.

Kagome smiled weakly at Rin, "I'm going to use your bathroom for a sec, k?"

"Of course, just through there," Rin smiled back.

Kagome walked into the Bathroom, and closed the door lightly, and leaned against it. Although the door was thick and shut tightly, she could still hear the couple in the next room.

"Sesshomaru! You know you're just like Inuyasha sometimes! You know as well as I do that Kagome still loves Inuyasha!" Rin whispered harshly to her Mate.

"Yes, I know that perfectly well. But we can't pretend that things are like they used to be Rin. The truth is that Inuyasha is with Kikyo, and Kagome is with that Kouga guy. And their past together could possibly prevent those two from ever being in love with each other again. The best we can hope for is that they'll be friends." Sesshomaru sighed.

Kagome couldn't listen any longer. Pushing herself away from the door she opened it and walked out just as Rin started to speak once again.

"Fluffy! Why can't you--" that's where Kagome cut in.

"Shut up! Would you guys please just shut up already! I'm sick of having to listen to people talk about my life when they think I'm not listening! Mom, Souta, Jii-chan, Auntie Izayio, Uncle Inu, and now even you two." Kagome stared into the guilty faces of the two. Just as she was continuing she noticed Sesshomaru perk up and shift his gaze towards the main door, but she ignored it, "I'm going to say this once and only once. Yes I still love Inuyasha and I always will, but his heart has always belonged to Kikyo. You all know that's why I left and took Inume with me. I have always known that something like this would happen one day, so just leave me alone about it and let me get on with my life!" Kagome then went and cradled the sleeping Inume into her arms, careful not to wake the girl.

Just then a knocking came from the door, Sesshomaru went to get it, and in walked Inuyasha, "hey, you ready to go?"

Kagome nodded, "Mhmm."

"Wait, you're taking her?" Rin asked, confused.

Inuyasha nodded, "yeah, we left her car at the restaurant, so I'm gonna take her home."

Rin was still confused, "Restaurant? But Inuyasha I thought you had a business meeting tonight,"

"He did, with me. Turns out that firm that was looking to hire me was the same one we own, I sorta forgot about it. So I'm just going to take up my half of the Firm, making me C.E.O alongside Inuyasha." Kagome explained.

Sesshomaru nodded solemnly, "Makes sense."

Inume stirred, "Mommy………" she mumbled turning into her mothers' chest and clung to her.

"Don't worry baby, I'm here." Kagome soothed her daughter.

"Wanna go?" Inuyasha grunted.

"Sure thing," Kagome said, she looked pointedly at Rin and Sesshomaru before walking out behind Inuyasha.

Finally they reached Inuyasha's car and Kagome gently placed their daughter in the back seat and made sure she was secure before getting into the front beside Inuyasha. Without a word he pulled out of the parking spot and down the main street, Kagome directed him to where her house was, but that was all for conversation.

: MEANWHILE :

Rin turned to her husband knowingly after the group had left, "How much did he hear?"

"Everything from her telling us to shut up on. He knows now if he didn't before." Sesshomaru said, "All we can do is wait and see how he reacts to it."

Rin nodded, and with that the two headed off to bed.

: BACK WITH INUYASHA AND KAGOME :

'Did I really hear her say that she still loves me? But how can that be? She's with Kouga. If she loved me wouldn't she just come out and tell me? Doesn't she realize it's always been her I've loved? I have to tell her,' Inuyasha was having a silent battle inside himself, but finally when he opened his mouth to tell her what it was he had wanted to, Kagome's cell started to ring.

Digging through her purse she managed to find it, Kagome glanced at Inuyasha before she answered it, "Hello?... Hey Kouga………… yes, yes it's over, I'm on my way home right now………………………….. Yes I got it………….. I know we'll figure something out, we won't let it separate us, I promise……….. No, sorry, I can't go out tomorrow, Sango and I have plans all day………………… alright, I'll call you tomorrow night, bye…….. I love you too, bye." She hung up and put her phone back into her purse, chancing a glance at Inuyasha. His eyes were hard and staring straight at the road, his jaw was set in a line, and his knuckles were turning white and he gripped the wheel.

'I must have heard wrong. She doesn't love me, she loves Kouga,' Inuyasha sighed.

Only moments later they pulled up to Kagome's house. Just as Kagome was about to get out she turned to Inuyasha, "when do you want me to drop her off?"

Inuyasha hesitated, "Uhhhhh, whenever you want, you can keep her for a few days, it doesn't matter." Kagome nodded before she got out, then retrieved Inume and just as she was shutting the door she paused a moment.

"Good-bye Inuyasha," and with that she closed the door, and carried the sleeping child into the house.

"Bye Kagome."

: NEXT DAY :

It was about 10:00 Saturday morning when Sango let herself into the Higurashi house, her and Kagome had planned to go shopping today, "Hey Kags, you up yet?" she called.

"Yeah, I'm in the kitchen," Kagome called.

Sango walked down the hall and into the kitchen as she saw her best friend cleaning the breakfast dishes. "Hey bum, you ready to go shopping?"

"Oh quiet you. I'm almost finished, and then I just have to--" Kagome was cut off.

"Mommy, I can't get my sock on," A little girl walked in, with one sock half way on, and the other still in her hand.

"Oh, honey come here, I'll help you," Kagome laughed, leading the little white haired girl to one of the kitchen chairs and sat her down before helping her slip on her socks. "There you go baby. Now why don't you run upstairs and grab mommy her purse, Kay?"

"Kay!" The young child exclaimed, leaping off her chair and running back out of the kitchen.

Sango's mouth hung open, "was-was that just Inume?"

"Hmm? Oh yes. I hope you don't mind her coming with us, Inuyasha had an unexpected visitor so I took her for awhile." Kagome said happily. Just then Inume ran back in and handed Kagome's purse to her. Kagome smiled kindly at the little girl, "Thank you sweetie, now, I'd like you to meet your Auntie Sango, she's Mommy's best Friend."

Inume turned to Sango and looked at her for no more than a moment before she launched herself at the young woman, "Auntie!"

Kagome just laughed at the look of pure shock on Sango's face, "Chill Sango, she knows who you are, I told her about you. Anyways, wanna head out?"

"Uhhhh, sure, I guess." Sango moved her gaze from the little girl around her leg, to Kagome.

: LATER THAT DAY :

"Okay, so where to next?" Sango asked as they exited 'Papaya', their favorite store.

Suddenly Inume started excitedly pulling on her mothers' hand, "Mommy! Mommy! Look, can I go? Can I?" She was pointing to an inflatable castle that had been set near the mall food court.

Kagome laughed, "Sure thing Inume, you go ahead and play. Auntie Sango and I will go sit over there, be careful, and no talking to strangers."

"Thank you mommy!" the little child exclaimed as she ran off to join the other children playing.

Just as Sango and Kagome were about to sit down they heard someone calling their names, "Kagome, Sango, hey!" it was Miroku and Kouga.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Sango asked.

When they reached the girls Kagome greeted Kouga with a small kiss, he happily returned the kiss. "What's going on? Why are you here?"

"Looking for you guys!" Kouga answered.

Kagome and Sango shared the same confused expression.

"You won't believe it! I won this radio contest and managed to get 6 free tickets to Disney Land! So Kouga and I figured the four of us, and I thought we may as well just give the other tickets away to some other couple." Miroku said excitedly.

"Oh my gosh! That's awesome!" Kagome cried latching onto Kouga happily.

"Miroku that's so cool!" Sango exclaimed, happily kissing Miroku on the cheek. Then she noticed what she had done and blushed brightly, turning away.

"Ah, yeah, it's pretty cool, now we just gotta find someone to dump the other Tickets onto." Miroku immediately changed the subject.

"Yo, what's up?" A male voice came from behind the group, everyone turned.

Kagome was the only one to smile, everyone else frowned at the appearance of the man, and the woman beside him, "Hey Inuyasha, Kikyo, what are you doing here?"

"Inu-baby was taking me shopping!" Kikyo exclaimed.

Kagome smiled, "well that sounds like fun. Oh, sorry. Inuyasha, Kikyo these are my friends, Sango, and Miroku, and this is my boyfriend Kouga. Guys, these are some friends of mine from Japan." Kouga was about to open his mouth, but Kagome knew from the look on his face what he was going to ask, "Don't ask, it's a long story. Anyways Inuyasha is the Co-C.E.O of The T and H Law firm, the one I had the interview with last night."

"Co-C.E.O? So what do you only have half the say in whether Kagome gets the job or what?" Miroku asked

"Well if that's the way it goes then she defiantly has the job," Inuyasha laughed, the others just looked confused, except Kagome.

"I don't get it," Kouga stated bluntly.

Kagome placed her hand on Kouga's arm, "I'm the other C.E.O Kouga. Another long story, I'll explain it to you all another time."

"Hey! This is perfect!" Miroku suddenly exclaimed, everyone turned to him, "Inuyasha, Kikyo, I know you guys obviously don't really know the rest of us, but your one of Kags friends, and she's like a sister to us, well except Kouga, that'd be sorta gross, but anyways, if you're one of her friends I'm sure you'd fit in great--"

"Miroku, is there a point to this?" Sango interrupted.

"Oh, yeah, anyways, I won six free tickets to Disney Land and Sango, Kagome, Kouga and I are all going, but we have two extra's, you guys wanna join?"

"Oh my gosh! Inu can we?" Kikyo squealed, Kagome noticed Inuyasha wince slightly at her pitch.

Inuyasha thought for a moment, before ever so slightly shifting his gaze to Kagome so no one would notice but her, she nodded her head a little to indicate that it didn't matter to her. Inuyasha looked at the group, "Sure, why not, it sounds like fun. When would we be going?"

"That's awesome, it's this weekend. We can all meet at Kagome's because I'm assuming we all know where that is. So it's a plan. But Kouga and I gotta head out; we're meeting the guys, later." Miroku cheered before he headed off.

"Bye baby," Kouga said as he kissed Kagome good-bye and left with Miroku.

"Well, it looks like we're going to Disney Land this weekend," Kagome said.

Alright, well I know it's a small stupid chapter, but it got the main points across, and set everything up for the amazing trip to Disney Land, and don't worry I already have that chapter mostly written so it should be up soon. Anyways I'm sorry it was a crappy chapter after such a long wait, I hope you all still love me!
