A.N. Okay! New chapter! I hope you enjoy. Review at end!

Last Time

"Na-Naraku…" she stuttered.

Now

"Hello Kagome," the man she called Naraku, "it's been a while since we've seen each other."

"NARAKU!" she squealed, jumping into the mans arms, "when did you get back?"

"A few days ago," the man replied, "I was hoping to catch you here working. But I guess I'm unlucky today."

Kagome giggled, "Naraku. This is my best friend Sango. Sango this is Naraku. He's my ex."

Sango nodded at the man, "nice to meet you."

"Same to you," he said, "but please call me Onigumo. Naraku is my last name, Kagome calls me that… well I'm not sure why. But she does."

"Because your first name sucks," Kagome replied with a faux haughty attitude.

"Of course it does," Naraku said, hugging her again.

"Well," Kagome said, "we were just going to get lunch. Why don't you join us."

"If its not a problem with your friend," he said, "I would hate to intrude."

"No it's fine," Sango said with a smile, "join us."

"Okay," the man replied, going with the two girls to a booth in Kagome's normal area.

With Sesshoumaru

"Lord Sesshoumaru," cried a voice, "I have new information."

"Jaken," the demon said, "if you continue that damned yelling I will be forced to silence you permanently. Now what is this news?"

"Yes milord," the smaller demon said, "well that Higurashi girl. I saw her today, with a half demon. They seem very close, they embraced like lovers."

Sesshoumaru raised a single eyebrow, "did you find out his name?"

Jaken nodded, "he goes by the name of Onigumo Naraku. He just moved here from America."

"Right," Sesshoumaru said, "I know of whom you speak. He had some family business to attend there. I thought he was gone for good."

Jaken shook his head, "It would appear not. He is with the wench now at the diner she works at."

"Silence Jaken," Sesshoumaru said rubbing his head, "go on and do something else. I have no other need for you today."

"Of course milord," the boy responded before leaving the older demon.

"Now," Sesshoumaru said to himself, walking over to his lap top, "just to do some more background search on Kagome Higurashi."

With Kagome and Naraku

After Kagome took Sango home, she decided to spend some time with Naraku. Even after they had broken up, and he moved to America they had remained good friends.

"How was the United States?" Kagome asked, "I heard it's interesting there."

"That indeed it is," naraku said as they drove to no where in general, "the land there is different. But many of the cities, even the small ones, are very congested. It is much like Tokyo, but not. It's very different though."

"Did you meet lot's of people?" she asked.

"Yes I did," he replied smiling at the girl, "people of almost every race. Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Spanish, Mexican, Polish, too many to name. It was almost overwhelming."

Kagome giggled, "I would love to see that some day."

"Maybe," naraku said, taking Kagome's hand in his, "when I go back you'll accompany me?"

"Well," Kagome started. It was obvious naraku was trying to rekindle their relationship, "you see naraku… I'm… ring ring… hold on."

"Hello?"

"Hello Kagome," came a deep, bored voice, "am I interrupting anything?"

"Yes Sesshoumaru," she replied coldly, "you are. What the hell do you want?"

"Is that any way to speak to your betrothed?" the demon asked sarcastically.

"Yes it is," she replied, "I will speak to you later. Good bye."

Naraku studied Kagome intently; looking at her from the face down. She had changed from the last time he'd seen her. Grown up.

"Who was that?" he asked.

"That's what I was going to tell you," she replied, turning in her seat to look at him, "that was Sesshoumaru Takahashi. You know him I think."

Naraku nodded, "yes I know him. Arrogant son of a bitch."

Kagome giggled, "that he is. But you see… well he's my… how do I say this? I'm engaged to be married to Sesshoumaru."

The man was stunned, "what? When did this happen?"

"About a month ago I guess," Kagome said, "no less than that. Maybe three weeks."

"How long have you known this man?" naraku asked, not angry. Almost hurt.

"A long time now," Kagome said, "I've been friends with his brother for years. You know how me and InuYasha had dated for a while."

Naraku nodded, "yes I remember. So you started dating his brother and got engaged?"

"No," Kagome said sadly, "it was arranged by our families."

Naraku was stunned, "your families?"

Kagome nodded, "it was a wish of my fathers that I marry Takahashi's eldest son. And he and my mother carried out that wish. And I'm engaged. There is almost no way out of it."

"I see," naraku said, "do you have any feelings for this Sesshoumaru?"

Kagome shook her head, "not good ones. He makes me mad. I almost feel… if he weren't so arrogant and rude I might like him. But I don't think I could ever love him."

"Well Kagome," he said, "I need to get to my hotel. I hate to cut this visit short, but I have a meeting with my sister."

Kagome nodded, "no problem. Where are you staying?"

"The Takahashi Hotel," naraku said with a smirk.

Monday

Kagome was happy on Monday morning. She had met up with naraku for lunch on Sunday during her break, and they caught up some more. But what she didn't like was that Sesshoumaru had shown up at the diner. It was almost as if he had planned to know naraku was going to be there.

Flashback

"So naraku," Kagome said with a grin, "order anything. I'm paying."

Naraku smiled, "well I have learned to like American food. Its funny that there is a american style diner here now."

Kagome nodded, "a man decided to build it not long ago. I guess McDonalds was making him mad I heard. But it's a hit. People come here constantly."

"I see," naraku said, "well let's see how the double bacon cheeseburgers are."

"They're rather good," said a stoic voice behind Kagome, "although I suggest you get cheddar cheese as to american."

Turning red from anger, Kagome turned around to face Sesshoumaru.

"What are you doing here?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"I came to see my fiancé while she was at lunch," Sesshoumaru stated, pushing Kagome further into the seat to sit with his hip to sit them, "but I found her dining with her ex-fiancé."

Kagome blushed, and naraku turned pale.

"How'd you find out?" she asked.

"You don't want to know," Sesshoumaru said darkly.

End Flashback

"Sesshoumaru you better stay away from me today," Kagome said as she picked Sango up for school.

"Hey what's wrong?" sango asked her friend.

"Nothing," Kagome said, "just thinking about yesterday."

"What happened?" the other girl asked, buckling her seat belt.

Kagome told sango about the previous day as they drove to school, getting random exclamations on the way.

"What are you going to do if you see Sesshoumaru?" sango asked her friend as they walked into the school.

"I don't know," Kagome said, opening her locker, which popped open on the first try, "SCORE!"

Sango laughed at her friend, who started going on, TO HER LOCKER, about how it better comply with her that day or she would beat it later.

Just as Kagome pulled out her book for first class, she saw a note fall from the locker.

"Sango can you get that?" she asked, pulling out her math book also.

Bending down, sango picked up the note and noticed how it was from Sesshoumaru.

"It's from the hubby," sango said with a grin, handing the paper to Kagome.

"Don't," Kagome said reading the paper.

Meet me in the classroom early. We need to talk about many things.
-S

Kagome sighed, "I'll see you later. I have to go see the mad dictator."

Sango laughed and said bye to her friend who was already walking away.

In Class

"What do you want?" Kagome asked, sitting down in her seat.

"Well glad to see your happy about seeing me," Sesshoumaru replied emotionlessly, "but we have much to talk about."

Kagome nodded, "I gathered, seeing as you said so in your note."

Sesshoumaru let a small smirk escape his lips.

"OH NO! LORD SESSHOUMARU SMILED! I MUST RUN AWAY!" Kagome shrieked, getting up from her chair to run when she felt herself being pushed into a wall.

"No one insults me," Sesshoumaru hissed in her ear, making her shiver, "that includes you woman."

Kagome nodded.

"Now," he said letting go of Kagome, "about this Naraku person. Why were you with him?"

"He's my friend," Kagome replied hotly, "and it's none of your business what I do."

"Until we can crack a plan to ruin this wedding," Sesshoumaru remarked, "you are still my fiancé and I do indeed have a right to know if you're with another man."

Kagome smiled, "your jealous."

"I do not get jealous," Sesshoumaru said hotly as Kagome started singing.

"SESSHOUMARU'S JEALOUS! SESSHOUMARU'S JEALOUS! SESSHOUMARU'S JEALOUS! SESSHOUMARU'S JEAL…"
Before Kagome could finish her song, Sesshoumaru silenced her. With his lips.

A.N. I thought this was a good place to stop. It's not a long chapter or anything. Only about 4 pages on word. But not bad I guess. NO FLAMES ON THE NARAKU! I haven't gotten him to do his thing yet! Just wait. It'll get better from here!
