OMG! Robert Pattinson is filming the honeymoon scene for Breaking Dawn only walking distance from my house! AHHHHHH! He's lucky that's I found out too late or I would have gone down there and broken some harassment laws…
ROB! Wait for me! The age difference doesn't matter! Age is just a number! I would fly to Hollywood right now to ask you… for Taylor Lautner's number. I tried to contact his publicist and manager but, it's harder than it seems… ;P
Back to the story…

Kagome fingered Inuyasha's shirt as she laid on his chest the following afternoon. The young couple was currently resting on a hill about a mile away from the castle. They had been there all afternoon, most likely avoiding the inevitable.
"You do realize that our fathers are furious with us?" Kagome asked.
"I'm not too worried," Inuyasha started. Kagome looked up at him in question. "If they wanted to yell at us they would have sent someone for us."
"They did."
Kagome immediately got off of Inuyasha and sat up. Inuyasha got up at a slower rate and both of them turned around. Sesshoumaru stood patiently behind them.
"What do you want Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked while Kagome rubbed her arm idly.
Sesshoumaru's golden eyes flickered to her for a second before he continued, "Father sent me for you. He expected to see you four hours ago."
"Then why is it that you're only telling me this now?" Inuyasha asked, slightly irritated.
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes, "I am not a messenger. I did not have to come all this way."
"It was no more than two miles," Kagome muttered. Sesshoumaru chose to ignore her comment while Inuyasha smirked at his brother. Sesshoumaru turned his back on his brother and walked back the way he came. Inuyasha turned to Kagome.
"Do we have to go?" Kagome asked when she turned to him.
Inuyasha brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear and responded, "we don't have to do anything. We can ignore him and go back later. Then we can say he never told us anything."
Kagome gave him a look and shook her head, "Come on. Let's go."
She moved to get up, but he was faster. Inuyasha pulled her down and onto her back and began to assail her neck with his lips. Kagome squealed and giggled underneath him.
Not too far away, Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes again and shook his head. He looked back once and continued on. 'Irresponsible Children…'

Inutaisho sat in the throne room next to Sato. Both men had their hands folded and blank faces. The large, grand wooden door opened and Izayoi and Ai entered. They approached their husbands and smiled.
"Hello, Love," Izayoi greeted.
"You wished to see us?" Ai asked pleasantly.
"Yes. Why is it that I have to find out that my daughter has to sneak around in my castle? Her home?" Sato asked.
"I don't' know. Maybe you should ask Kagome," Izayoi responded.
Inutaisho gave his mate a hard stare. "This is serious, Izayoi. Have you nothing proper to say about your son?"
"We're right here!" Inuyasha spoke up from the door. Kagome shook her head.
Inutaisho and Sato came down from their thrones and faced their wives and children respectively.
"This is an outrage! The whole kingdom knows about you two and your little scandal! Do you know how this makes us look!" Sato exclaimed.
"I don't give a fuck what your kingdom says!" Inuyasha challenged. Kagome rested a hand on his arm in an effort to calm him down.
"Inuyasha don't test me. Because of your mistake our whole family is being implicated. Do you have any idea what you have done!" Inutaisho yelled.
Kagome gasped softly. 'A mistake?' Kagome turned away and started to pull away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha picked up on her changed demeanor and glared at his father for upsetting her.
"Inutaisho! That was uncalled for! How dare you call them a mistake! What is the matter with you! Have you gone insane!" Izayoi yelled, her voice raising with each word.
Inutaisho didn't back down, "My own people are speaking of revolting against me! We would lose everything! Everything! All because he has to get involved with a human! Ridiculous."
Izayoi back up. Her face became hard and cold. "Well, Inutaisho. If you consider being with a human a ridiculous mistake, that's perfectly fine. I'm glad we know where we stand," Izayoi said and left briskly. Everyone turned to Inutaisho, questioning his next move.
"Well, Father. It seems like things can't possibly get any worse. Can they?" Sesshoumaru asked as he walked into the room from a smaller door with Kikyou by his side.
"What do you want Sesshoumaru?" Inutaisho asked.
"We've come to settle things. And to tell you that I nor Sesshoumaru will be getting married," Kikyou said.
"What?" Sato asked.
"The treaty calls for one child from each kingdom to marry. No more than that. Also, it doesn't specify which children. What I'm saying is that I am not marrying neither of these two," Kikyou finished and gestured to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
"I refuse as well," Sesshoumaru said.
"Well, there it is," Sato said.
Inutaisho scoffed and passed a hand through his hair, "If that is all, then fine. I don't care. If you two don't want to be wed then fine. If you'll all excuse me, I have a mate to talk to."
As Inutaisho was making a move to leave, the large doors slammed open. Sato let out a cry of anguish.
"I just had those polished!" Sato exclaimed.
At first it seemed as if no one was behind the door until a loud smack was sounded.
"Myoga, what are you doing here?" Inutaisho asked.
"My lord! The kingdom! She is under attack! I came as quick as I could to bring you the news!" Myoga yelled from Inutaisho's palm.
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were on alert now and Inutaisho stood up straighter. Kagome looked at the dog demons with worry etched onto her face. Ai looked to Sato and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Who is launching the attack?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked at him questioningly, but he didn't look at her.
"It is the demon, Ryuukotsei. He is back my lord. He's returned and there's nothing we can do-o-o!" Myoga said.
Inutaisho flicked away the flea and spoke up, "Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha gather your things. We leave in no more than an hour."
As Inutaisho and Sesshoumaru turned and left, Kagome held Inuyasha back. "What's going on?"
"You weren't listening. My home is being attacked by an old enemy of my father. I have to go home."
"Now? But, we finally got everything settled and now you have to leave? How is that fair?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha wiped imaginary dirt off her cheek and replied, "I won't take long. Just try not to get into trouble… or is that too much to ask for?"
Kagome rolled her eyes playfully, but embraced the hanyou after a while. Inuyasha was shocked at first, but slowly held her to himself.
"I understand why you need to go. Just don't go out there and act reckless. Be careful," Kagome whispered.
"Thank you."

Izayoi sat in her chamber on her bed. Izayoi sniffed and wrapped her arms around herself tighter. She truly thought that they were over this. Maybe she was wrong. Maybe he'll never get over her heritage. She'll never be good enough for him.
"Izayoi?"
She turned around suddenly and stared at her mate. When he made a move to come closer, she turned her back to him.
"Izayoi, I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. I'm only a man," Inutaisho said.
"And I'm supposed to forgive you because of that? I'm only a woman. A human," Izayoi said.
"I don't care that you're a human," Inutaisho said and walked closer to the bed.
"Stay away from me, Inutaisho. I want nothing to do with you."
"I can't say the same, Izayoi. Everything I do has something to do with you. You are so much of me. I said something stupid and I'm sorry. You don't have to forgive me now. I just wanted to let you know that much before I go."
That got her attention. "Go where?"
"I have to go home. Ryuukotsei is back. He is attacking our home and I intend to fight him."
Izayoi stood and responded, "Are you insane? You'll hurt yourself. It's too dangerous."
"Izayoi. I love you too much to hurt myself and not come back to you. If I don't come back," Inutaisho stated, but was interrupted by Izayoi's adamant 'you will', "I would to know that another man has to keep you company. That's my job. You will stay here and out of harm's way."
"I get it. You have to go be a big man and protect what's yours. Well, go ahead. Maybe I'll forgive you if you come back with a new, silk robe for me," Izayoi said.
Inutaisho smiled. At least for now, he wasn't in hot water…

Just do something you guys…. I'm going to B-E-D…
