I'm reediting on my birthday... it's great... the things I do for you. LOL reediting 10-14
A/N Hey I was going to update faster but my stepfather grounded me for 3 damn days, but that's alright. I know what inuKagfreak101 wants now so I'm going to obviously do it. She is the review winner obviously. But before I continue I wanted to ask a relevant question. What paring do you guys like the most. Sesshomaru X Rin (when she's older) Sesshomaru X Kagura or any other pairings that evolve Sesshomaru. Oh and out of pure randomness my favorite ice-cream is vanilla, and once I had cookie dough ice cream. But my cousin doesn't like cookie dough so she threw the piece of ice-cream in the trash from her mouth, and when I saw her do that… I couldn't eat cookie dough flavor again, well to the story peeps.
Disclaimer: I ate it at a custard place… but I'm pretty sure it wasn't custard, but the employees were all turds anyway so that's alright. I don't own Inuyasha and sadly no outfits that are silver.
Chapter 21 :( Christmas special part 2)
Kagome waited for him to make the first move. He was inches from her lips, but he wanted her to feel the anticipation and spark before he kissed her. She had her eyes closed and her lips puckered, but it just didn't feel right. She hadn't seen him for weeks and there he was trying to kiss her. Kagome had no idea why, but it felt as if he was taking advantage of her. 'I at least deserve some sort of an apology right?' She asked herself 'or maybe I can make him admit that he missed me again or… there was no time to think about it. Either she was going to swap spit or make him work for it."Wait" is all she said; he halted his advances. "Why should I let you kiss me?"
He backed up looking down at her in shock. She looked extremely gorgeous at that moment but for some odd reason he was a bit turned off. "Because… you're my mate…" he said while glaring at her in annoyance. Kagome's smile instantly disappeared and she let her eyes drift away. He obviously thought just because he mated her without even asking he was allowed to do whatever he liked. She didn't even spare him a glance before leaving the kitchen all together.
Inuyasha watched her go reluctantly. 'I don't have to put up with her bitchy attitude.' He told himself, but for some odd reason he couldn't stop himself from shooting forward after her."Why are you always acting like this?"
Acting like what…?" She asked while zipping around to face him. She hadn't noticed that he was right behind her so she bumped into him slightly.
"A brat... you're acting like a spoiled brat." He said while crossing his arms. She huffed and turned away towards the elevators. "You're always acting like the world owes you something…"
"I act like the world owes me something…How about you... You're the definition of a spoiled brat…I never once asked my parents for anything…"
"Sure you don't… you just ask the rest of the world to do your bidding." That made her pause in her spot. And Inuyasha let a smirk grace his features.
"Oh… so now I'm high maintenance just because I won't let you get in my pants."
"Ha… that's where you're wrong…" He spat while staring daggers at her. She was inches away from the elevator, and her right hand was inching towards the up button so she could make a hasty get away. "If it wasn't for that Goddamn mate's mark I wouldn't even want to be with you."
Her heart halted and a knot formed in the back of her throat. She turned towards the elevator not wanting to face him. "Um wait…" He mumbled. He had just caught what he said. "I didn't mean that… I…"
"No… I'm glad you feel that way…" She interrupted as she pressed on the 'up' button for the tenth time. "Now we don't have to pretend to like each other…"
"Kagome… really I didn't mean to say that… I was caught up in the moment… I…"
"Please… shut up… don't ever talk to me again. And as for this mate mark… I want it off…" The elevator doors opened and Inuyasha could feel his heart racing. He couldn't let her go without explaining what he meant. She walked forward; her face parallel to the ground. He could already smell the tanginess of tears feel the still air.
"Kagome wait… I didn't mean it I swear… can we talk this over… like adults."
She was pressing down on the 'up' button from the interior of the elevator. She made sure to look away from him. She could already fill tears filling up her eyes. "Leave me alone Inuyasha…" She demanded as she jabbed the button over and over.
"Come on let me explain… it was a mistake."
"I hate you…" she barked out making the hanyou shut up instantly. He looked up at her as the doors began to slowly but surely close. She was staring at him with a face filled with tears and he could feel his heart slowly sink. No one said anything and it was almost as if time halted…
"Uh… I'm…" He muttered, but before he could even apologize the doors began to close. He only stared at the metal separators till he heard a huge thud on the other side of the doors… "Kagome…" He called while running towards the stairs. He already knew she had collapsed… he just knew when he got to the other side she'd be lying lifelessly on the elevator's tiled floors.

Her eyes were blinded by something orange. She had to blink ten times to try and see clearly. Where the hell was she? A hand met her brow as she made sure she knew her name and other personal information. "Okay… I'm Kagome, My birthday is in January uh… what else do I need to know?' she thought to herself as she sat up in her seat. She felt a slight tingle on the side of her neck reminding her of yesterday's events. She searched around her looking for a familiar face, but there were none. She turned her attention at the bright light above her. So she was in Inuyasha's room. How the hell did she get in here? She was extremely sure they were having an argument. But that wasn't the least of her problems. She had just noticed that she was completely and utterly naked. Why was she laying in Inuyasha's bed in the nude?
Her head started to hurt from all the confusion. She was beginning to wonder how her life got so confusing. Was it too much to ask for some clarity… a note stating why she was in his bedroom naked could have helped. She sighed looking around for some sort of explanation when she heard something to her right. She turned watching the double doors begin to open. Her first reaction was to yell but she pushed it to the side and decided just to act as if she was sleeping. The minute the door swayed open she pinned herself under the sheets and closed her eyes. She could hear the unknown person walk through the door and lock it behind them. She could hear footsteps coming closer towards the bed. Whoever the stranger was closed the dome and headed over to her. "Are you still sleeping, Kagome?" he whispered. She knew now that it was a guy and not any guy... her fiancé telling by his voice. "I mean I know you took a big fall but it's 3 in the afternoon wake up." She subconsciously sighed. She knew now for a fact it was Inuyasha. He was the only one who could take a tragic situation and turn it into an insult.
His sentence helped her remember what had happened yesterday. She was arguing with him, then her mate mark over reacted and she fell over. After that a magic donut came in and did a dance with her. She danced all night long at some bakery shop, but she was going to take a shot in darkness and say that part was a dream. Inuyasha didn't say anything for awhile. He just sat beside her. She was wondering if he was worried. "Over sleeping is one thing, but you've been out for four days …"
"I've been sleeping for four days!" Kagome screamed while shooting up in total shock. She let her eyes land on the hanyou beside her. He had all his focus on her. He seemed to be examining her with the utmost scrutiny. She had no idea why, she pushed a hand through her hair trying to look presentable. After awhile he still wouldn't say anything he just sat and stared. She narrowed her eyes in confusion. Did she have something on her face?"What are you looking at?" she demanded after awhile. She followed his glance down to her chest. Her breast were completely out and exposed. "Well great you're officially a pervert." She said while slumping down to cover herself.
"Don't flatter yourself. You had something on your left boob is all." He lied she knew she had nothing on her breast. "And no you haven't been sleeping for four days I was lying. Now sit back up so I can wipe off that smudge on your boob." He said, and Kagome narrowed her eyes. He was such a perverted ass. He laughed a little at the reaction to his joke. The room got a tad bit awkward and he diverted his attention from her to look down at his watch. "So are you going down stairs or are you going to lay here naked?" He asked, and she turned on her side looking away from him. "Well if you are then I'll join you"
"What's going on down stairs?" She asked while tightening the sheets around her body. No way was he going to get another glimpse of her.
"That's a stupid question… today is Christmas." She sat back up in surprise. She wasn't facing him, but he still had a great view of her breast. The nipples were hard and pointing. She took a glance at him and pulled the sheets up. She couldn't stop the blush that took over her face. She had to stop forgetting to keep the sheets on her body.
'Oh yeah today is Christmas.' She thought to herself. She turned away from Inuyasha completely… She dropped her hands down letting the sheets slip. She didn't care that her breast were out now. Her back was towards him. 'I did put the gifts away right? Yeah I did.' She scratched the top of her head while looking towards Inuyasha. He seemed just as entertained staring at her bare back as he was her bare breast. She narrowed her eyes bringing the sheets up and positioning herself towards him."Why am I naked anyway?"
"Well you passed out and I knew you were mad at me. I decided you being unconscious was the only way I was going to get to have sex with you." he said and Kagome let her jaw drop in shock. He smiled at her reaction. "No… I'm just joking…I took your clothes off because you were heating up."
"It's the dead of winter why would I be heating up?" She questioned. He only shrugged, and she decided to let it go. It probably was a mate mark thing. She slid deeper into the sheets pulling the covers over her head.
"Well don't you think it's about time you got up?"
"Hey leave me alone, we're not talking…" She shot out while letting her head resurface. "You owe me some sort of apology."
"Fine I'm sorry for all the things I said to you yesterday, and if you want me to be your slave just for a damn kiss, I'll be more than happy to do it." He said with a roll of his eyes she was really ticking him off.
She smiled in response, but for some reason it didn't make her feel better. He had hurt her feelings yesterday."Well I'm sorry to have led you on, but an apology won't help."She eyed him sighing deeply. "You made me feel like a whore yesterday. You don't even care about me. You said it yourself… but you want me to have sex with you."
He sighed deeply. "You act as if you didn't say anything offensive to me either… Well I agree with you an apology won't help." He stood up from his spot. "But removing the mate mark will…" She felt her breath halt, and she eyed him. He seemed extremely serious. "Just come to my room later today… I'll remove it." She sat up ready to say something, but he left the room before she could.
He couldn't be serious. He had no choice but to mate her, then again knowing Inuyasha he didn't do well with not having a choice. Well… that's not what she wanted. She didn't want him to remove the mate mark… did she? She got out of bed… well she had to find a way to stop him from doing it without losing her demeanor.

She decided to make sure she looked extremely attractive. That would work right? She walked downstairs unsure of herself. She had on a strapless black dress with a small clutch hand bag. She walked down stairs casually. She knew she looked good on the outside, but she wasn't very sure of herself internally. 'Think positive,' she told herself as she walked determinately down the swivel stairs. She was eyeing her high heels hoping they wouldn't slip. She would have taken the elevator but the stairs were a better entrance. She was trying to catch Inuyasha's attention. She had finally made it to the end of the stairs, and she was happy to see that everyone in the house was staring at her. Her plan was working… soon Inuyasha would be the one begging her to keep her mate mark, and she'd get to keep her integrity.
"You look gorgeous Kagome." Izoyta said looking up at her. Kagome set her eyes on Inuyasha's mother. She had on a long flowing dark red dress. Her hair was in tight curls and she had a skinny strapped black purse to her hip.
"Thanks… you do to." Kagome said. She smiled to the older woman before searching around the foyer. She spotted Inuyasha who was staring her way. She was about to examine his facial expression, but her view was blocked by Izoyta who was trying to stop Shippo from opening the Christmas presents.
"Change of plans Kagome…" Inutashio said from his spot at the front door. This got Kagome's attention, and she turned towards the inuyoukai."Your parents are meeting us at a restaurant… and may I say you do look stunning." Inutashio said. Kagome smiled saying her thanks. So that was two people who thought she looked good so far. She was wondering what the most important person thought. Inutashio left out the front door. His wife and his sons followed except one.
"So… who are you trying to impresses with that number?" He asked. Kagome turned to face the half demon. He had a very nonchalant expression on his perfect face. He had taken notice of her before anyone else, and he was surprised and stunned at how beautiful she looked. She was always attractive but tonight took the cake.
She took a deep breath. So obviously he did take notice, but he wasn't apologizing for what he said, and she was too stubborn to tell him how she felt. She turned to face him and he waited for her to speak, but she didn't. Instead she smiled widely and turned walking out the front door.
"Wait…" he said stopping her. She let a genuine smile grace her lips. Her plan was already working. She dropped the smile and turned to face him. "So you're going to just ignore me…you have no reason to be mad. You asked for it."
"Asked for what… I have no idea what you're talking about." She said while turning. Inuyasha furrowed his eye brows and grabbed her by the arm making her spin towards him.
"What… wait…"He said in a bundle. Kagome had to be the only women who could catch him off guard. Did she really not know what he was talking about?"Is this some sort of game you're playing? You told me you wanted me to remove your mate mark...Do you still want that?"
"Inuyasha… you do what you want… you always do what you want. So why should this be any different?" She left after that leaving him in the house dumbfounded. He sighed walking out of the front door in a confused stump.

"My head hurts!" Shippo screamed as they headed into the restaurant. He was now pulling on Sesshomaru's slacks wanting him to look down, but instead his oldest brother continued to stare forward. The only time he slightly acknowledged Shippo's bratty existence is when he kicked him. Sesshomaru just looked down at the fox kit and cocked an eyebrow. Shippo was quiet the rest of the time. Kagome was following Izoyta watching to see if she could see her mom through any of the glass windows. It seemed effortless. Inuyasha who had gotten there pretty much at the same time was arguing with his father about rather or not he could remove his tie.
"You know what dad, could you please stop… I'm not in the best mood and I really don't care about this tie." He said to his father as he fixed his tux and began loosening the burgundy silk tie. Izoyta was in the middle of the restaurant talking to the host. She said something about reservations and the man nodded walking away. She began to follow the host to one of the seats towards the back. Once they all got to their seats the man supplied them with menus and they all stared down at them as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. Izoyta said a small hi to Kagome's mother before sitting next to her to discuss woman things. Kagome said a quick hi to her family before sitting down next to her younger brother.
"So Souta, how's mom been doing?" She asked. the tall menu covered her noise as she looked around the table. Finally everyone was seated and not just loitering around. She glanced at her mom who was discussing her work out methods, then her eyes went to her father who was talking about how Souta that morning didn't wear a tie either. She looked back at Souta who was ignoring her and staring at a family of four. He was gawking at the daughter who seemed to be 16 and looking very hot in his opinion. "Souta I'm not in a very good mood today can you please listen to me and stop being a pervert, trust me I know to many of them to add a 4th."
"What did you say sis I wasn't paying attention, repeat it." He demanded as he ripped his eyes away from the girl. Kagome rolled her eyes about to repeat her question when Inutashios' booming voice interrupted her.
"I would just like to make an announcement." he announced as if no one at the table could see that."We have a dinner party to celebrate the success of the merger, since are profit has gone up so high we've almost beat are rivals." everyone at the table clapped except for the couple that made it all possible. Kagome sat in a grunt once the announcement was announced. She looked away from Inutashio towards Inuyasha who seemed very engaged in what his father was saying. She childishly grunted again to get his attention. She made sure to be extremely loud this time, and InuYasha actually turned to eye her. He was about to comment on something when his dad began anther "ground breaking" announcement. He turned away from her towards his dad. "The dinner party will be after the wedding and will include everyone who made all this possible. Of course that would be the Higurashi's and my own staff…." Kagome rolled her eyes looking somewhere else and dismissing the rest of Inutashios' speech. Everyone clapped their hands in unison at the end of it and began to look back down at their menus.
Once everyone picked out there orders they sat around the table and talked for awhile, well not all of them. Kagome just stared at her nails then filed them a couple of times, redid her lip gloss, and reapplied her mascara. After seeming a bit conceited, she looked up from her very infatuating nails and took a short glance at Inuyasha. 'Come on Inuyasha… look towards me… come on look at me.' She thought to herself. She knew it was a bit stupid to think 'just looking attractive' would win him back, but that was all she had. She couldn't just openly tell him how she felt. she was much too stubborn for that. He didn't even glimpse at her. He just took an unnecessary yawn before changing the page to his menu. He wasn't even really looking through it. he had already ordered his meal. He sighed a bit bored than looked forward. He sat up when he realized Kagome was gawking at him. She looked down at the table when he caught her stare. What was wrong with her?
The food came and they all ate normally while continuing their boring conversations. Kagome made sure to eat in a particularly dainty way. She kept stealing glimpses at Inuyasha and he unbeknownst to her continued to do the same. She sighed when she realized nothing she did was catching his attention. She had faked a cough three times and he still didn't take notice. She sighed about to try another technique when a woman's voice singing whipped through the room. She realized it as being her ringtone. She bowed down grabbing her purse. "I'm sorry… I was going to put it on silent… and I…" Her voice trailed when she finally caught the phone and pressed talk. "Hello…"
"HEY BITCH" a girl screamed from the other end of the phone. Kagome turned around to check if anyone at the table heard. They all stopped their conversations to stare at her. They had defiantly heard. She raised her phone back up and smiled. "I'm sorry about that it's a wrong number…" she whispered to everyone at the table.
"You dumbass you can't just call people and curse… what's wrong with the standard hello this is Sango…?" Kagome hissed in the phone as she walked towards the bathroom. She opened the door and conveniently locked it so no other woman could use the bathroom while she was in it.
"Wow… I always say hey bitch when I call you…" Sango said while rolling her eyes. "Why do I have to change all of a sudden… ugh… is your mom near you?"
"Yeah… everyone was near me…" Kagome stated as she leaned against one of the walls. She pushed a hand through her face in a frustrated manner.
"Okay well I'm sorry I'll just call you later I guess…" Sango said sadly as she pushed the phone away from her ear…
"No… no Sango I need you." Kagome huffed through the receiver as she slid a hand threw her bangs, she yawned once more before laying down on the floor of the public restroom.
"Really… what's up are you having any problems I need to hear about?" Sango asked as she grabbed a magazine and started reading it.
"Yeah… you know how I told you me and Inuyasha weren't talking… well we weren't talking right… and he came downstairs… and I came downstairs. And he tried to kiss me, but I was like no… you didn't even apologize… how dare he try to kiss me when he didn't even apologize right… does he think I'm a whore or something?" Sango's attention began to fade as she took in Kagome's confession. She was getting a bit engrossed in what she was reading. She was about to turn the page in the magazine when she heard sniffing on the other end.
"Kagome are you crying?" She asked incredulously.
"Yeah… cause I was so upset… you know… because it's like how could he do that to me?" Sango opened her eyes in shock. She hadn't been listening to anything her best friend had said.
"Okay well Kagome take a deep breath and repeat what's going on again okay." She said calmly, and Kagome did just that repeating the whole story over again.
AND WHILE THIS IS GOING ON!
"Inuyasha Kagome's been gone for a while why don't you check on her?" Izoyta recommended as she took a fork of pasta and laid it at the center of her opened mouth. Inuyasha spooned up his potatoes and made a disagreeing look at his mom before taking his napkin and wiping off his lips. He could tell his mom was going to force him to go no matter what. He rose from his seat and left. He grunted as he walked towards the restrooms. Why the hell should he have to go? He wasn't a woman it wasn't like he could go into the bathroom. He walked towards the door hoping to just call her name so she could come out. He grabbed hold of the door knob only to release it at the sound of someone crying.
"And he was being a total jerk… right?" He heard. He couldn't really decipher most of the words. The girl was sobbing too much. He edged himself closer to the door. He could hear the girl's words a lot better. "It's like I know I love him, but he doesn't care… he's still the same old InuYasha… and I'm all new… and no one really understands how awkward this is for me… cause you know our past. And my mom doesn't care… she just keeps telling us to do all this ridiculous stuff… and every time things are going great she fucks it up. Like me and Inuyasha were getting along amazingly once… and my mom said she was going to end the merger… so Inuyasha is all like I can take the mate mark off… and it sucks when your own mom isn't even in tune with you. Izoyta is more in tune with me than her…" Inuyasha at this time knew the girl was of course Kagome. He put a hand to the door knob, but she had locked the door. "I don't know what I have to do to prove to him that I love him… but it's like impossible cause he's a total idiot… and even if he did love me… we argue like everyday… and I don't want a relationship like that who does…?" Inuyasha dropped his hand and looked down waiting for her to finish. His body felt so fragile all of a sudden. Like every one of his nerves were loose and exposed. "Yeah… well I don't want to talk about it anymore…" She sniffed. "Okay… I know I know… your baby is going to be gorgeous… I don't want to talk about your damn baby either Sango…" She snapped. There was a huge pause in the conversation and she all of a sudden began to laugh. It made Inuyasha smile slightly. "Hmm… yeah you're going to have one hell of a cute baby."
She got up and headed to the mirror only to back up from her reflection. How she was going to explain the droopy make up and puffy eyes were beyond her. She grabbed a paper towel and rinsed it with warm water. She'd have to redo her makeup but that wouldn't take too long hopefully. She sighed as she wiped off some eyeliner. She heard a slight knock on the doo making her look towards it and sighed. The least she could do was unlock it so other people could use it. She walked over to the door. She imagined a line of nicely dressed women holding their pee and crouching down. She opened the door with a slight smile on her face. "Sorry I…" She stuttered but her words halted when she looked up to see Inuyasha standing right in front her. "What do you want" she demanded she let her bitchy persona surface. He didn't say anything he just stared at her for what seemed like forever. She groaned annoyingly. He was probably reacting to the tear marks on her face. "What the hell do you want?" She demanded. He still didn't say anything he just gawked at her. "Okay… whatever it's not like I care." She said while ripping some of the tears off her face. She fixed her dress quickly before trying to walk past him. He purposely blocked her making her back up. "What's going on?" she asked as she stared at him.
"We need to talk."He said locking the door behind her. Her heart began to beat excessively.
!
!
!
"Now where has Inuyasha gone to?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she wiped the edge of her lips, she gently lagged the napkin on the table and started to get up."I'm a little worried… I'll go look for them," she added as she left for the bathroom.
"No don't… it's alright sit down, we should get a man to do the work. You don't have to worry. I bet there fine." Izoyta added as she ushered Mrs. Higurashi back to her seat. She slowly looked around the table for a suitable man to look for her son and his fiancé. She took a look at her youngest son who was eating an extra shrimp from his brother's plate. 'Too young' she thought to herself. She then glimpsed towards her husband. He was having a very engaging conversation, so she decided to leave out the two husbands they were probably talking about business. She took a glance at her oldest son he was about to take a bite out of his shellfish. "Sesshomaru" she said in a demanding voice. He was caught off guard and he began choking on the piece of food already in his mouth. He took a look at his mother. "Sesshomaru go get your brother he's somewhere around here." He sighed a bit irritated but got up and started walking towards the bathroom.
!
!
!
"Is all that true?" he asked as he stared at his fiancé. Kagome looked up at him not knowing what he meant.
"I… what…?" He narrowed his eyes in anger."Oh…" she muttered thinking about her conversation with Sango… he must have over heard. "Did you hear what I said to Sango?" she asked glaring at him in distaste. He only nodded staring at her in total intensity. She rolled her eyes walking around him. "No, I was just practicing for a play." She said sarcastically.
"Are you being sarcastic? Cause I'm not playing… I'm dead serious." He said, by the sound of his voice she could tell how serious he actually was.
"Well... I am too…" she said staring down at the floor. She was a bit afraid to look him in the eyes. She didn't know if he was referring to the insults that she had called him or the actual emotions she felt for him. She hoped it was the insults.
He rolled his eyes staring at her stubborn pose. "Kagome I'm trying to apologize…" He murmured… "It would help if you apologized too."
She didn't even register his words. Things were getting a bit too intense. Those words weren't for him to hear. She walked towards the door to unlock it.
"Wait…" He said. "Don't you want to patch things up?" He asked. she paused and shook her head signaling no. He felt his heart sink. He wanted to leave her alone. Let her walk out the door and just end it, but he couldn't. He turned towards her grabbing her by the arm. "I heard what you said… I can't just let you leave…"
"You could try…" She whispered and he couldn't help the small smile that formed on his lips. She smiled a bit too. "You weren't supposed to hear that… it's not fair… it's embarrassing…"
"How is that embarrassing… you said you loved me…" He whispered… she shrugged. It became intensely silent, and he gently tugged on her arm bringing her closer to him. "I wish you could have told me yourself… it would have fixed up a lot of things." He murmured. She looked up slowly. He took a deep breath. He was going to try to kiss her. He was hoping his efforts didn't get rejected like last nights.
