Hi! I know it's been a long while. I just have really little computer access rite now! Enjoy!

I do not own Inuyasha.

I do own The Solstice Rose because I made them up.

Last time:

Hitoshi looked up and his eyes widened.

"Mizuki?"

This time:

"Oh my god!" Mizuki screamed running toward him and practically tackling him to the floor.

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist, "I missed you too."

Kiyomi felt something tug on her heart as she stared at his arms around her waist. She quickly snapped out of it and turned to a rack of clothes.

"How have you been?" she asked.

"Good, how about you and Kimi?" he asked.

"I'm good and Kimi got married."

"Seriously? Wow, has it been that long since I've been here?"

"Only about five years," she shrugged.

"You know what," Kiyomi interrupted, "um I don't see anything I can use so I'm just gonna go."

She made her way toward the door. Hitoshi let go of Mizuki.

"Wait a minute, your leaving already," he asked.

"Yeah, um you can just stay here and catch up with Mizuki."

She hurried out the door leaving a confused Hitoshi behind. Kiyomi stalked down the street. Why she was angry, she didn't have a thought about how he had held her and let out an
unwanted growl. Why was she so angry? She pondered this until she collided with something hard. She staggered back and glared up at whatever had gotten in her way.

"Oh, sorry I-oh hey Kiyomi," Bankotsu grinned.

"Bankotsu what are you doing here?" she questioned.

"I'm working."

"Oh, me too."

"Who you lookin' for?" he asked.

"Uh," she dug out a wanted poster from her pocket, "Adachi Ichiro."

His eyes widened and he fidgeted a little.

"Oh really?" he laughed nervously.

"Yeah," she noticed a rope tied around his hand. "Did you catch someone?"

"Um, yeah."

"Who?" she asked peering behind him.

He stepped in her line of view. She raised an eyebrow and tried again, but he wouldn't let her look.

"C'mon, let me see!" she whined.

He shook his head vigorously and stepped back. She rolled her eyes, grabbed the rope, and tugged it forward. At the end of the rope was none other than Ichiro Adachi. She let go of the rope and frowned.

"Nosy," he muttered.

"Damn it Bankotsu! Now I only made three grand!" she pouted.

"Your the one who went for the little guys first," he shot back.

She sighed and threw the wanted poster away.

"I'm just gonna go home."

"Wait, why don't we hang out?" he asked blushing slightly.

"Really? Wow, I don't know. I don't want to leave Kagome alone and-."

She stopped as she saw him give her puppy dog eyes. She flinched; oh shit. He grabbed her hand and nuzzled it.

"Kiyomi," he kissed her hand, "please?"

She felt herself relax and opened her mouth to answer, but she was suddenly pulled back. She turned her head to see Hitoshi glaring at Bankotsu.

"Sorry but we have to go home," he growled.

"She's a grown woman, she can decide for herself," Bankotsu bit back.

Hitoshi chuckled a humorless chuckle and tightened his grip on her waist, "That's the thing though. I won't let her go with you."

"Excuse me?" Kiyomi asked in outrage.

"You heard me."

"And what makes you think I'll let you take her?" Bankotsu scoffed.

Hitoshi laughed, hoisted Kiyomi over his shoulder, and ran off. Everything turned into a blur and Kiyomi tried desperately to get her hair out of her face. They stopped and she found herself on top of Midtown Tower.

"What the hell," Kiyomi snapped. "What makes you think you have the right to decide what I'm going to do!"

He stayed silent and stood with his back turned to her.

"Answer me you ass!"

He was suddenly right in front of her and her eyes widened in shock as he gazed down at her with luminous green eyes.

"Because you're mine."

Kagome stumbled into the living room sleepily making her way to the kitchen for some water. She heard snoring and walked toward the sound to find its source. There sprawled on the floor was a sleeping Inuyasha. She giggled and nudged him with her foot.

"Wake up Inu," she whispered.

He stirred and opened his eyes.

"Why are you on the floor?"

"'Cause Hitoshi tipped over the couch and I was too lazy to get back up."

She rolled her eyes and started back for the kitchen. Then, Inuyasha remembered something and stood up.

"Wait Kagome!"

"Huh?"

He ran a hand through his hair and blushed slightly.

"I was wondering if, um, tomorrow you'd like to go out with me," he mumbled.

Kagome's eyes widened and she blushed.

"Um sure."

"Ok then um I'll pick you up at your room I guess."

They laughed and went into the kitchen together.

Sesshoumaru had woken up at the wonderful aroma of omelets. The stupid human chef must have learned how to cook. He tried to ignore it but the scent took over his senses and he ended up walking out in nothing but his black Armani slacks, a white wife beater, and Via Europa Troy Oxford's. He walked into the kitchen to see Kagome at the oven humming. He was in shock; this human could cook? He sat down slowly still observing her cautiously as if she was going to throw one at him or something.

Kagome sensed his presence and turned around.

"Good morning Sesshoumaru," she greeted smiling, "do you want an omelet?"

"Hn."

"Cheese or plain?"

"Hn."

"Cheese it is."

He observed her closely. How did she know that's what he wanted? He was snapped out of his thoughts once the lovely scent he had been wanting was placed under his nose. He resisted the urge to inhale as it was that the human was watching him.

"What?" he asked.

"I want to see if you like it," she replied.

He raised and eyebrow and cut a piece of the dish off. He put in his mouth and almost, almost, showed on his face what was going on in his mouth. It was the best thing he had ever tasted.

"Sooo," she pressed.

He cleared his throat, "It's decent."

She bonked him on the head.

"What did your mama tell you about lying," she scolded.

He looked up at her like she was crazy.

"Did you just hit this Sesshoumaru's head?"

"Yes this Kagome did," she huffed.

She walked back to the stove to prepare her last omelet. She had made six plain and five with cheese since she didn't know what everybody liked. She put the last one on the plate and sighed in accomplishment. She jumped as Sesshoumaru came up behind her and trapped her against the counter. She whirled around to meet hungry eyes.

"Uh, do you want another omelet?" she asked meekly.

"I will not tolerate disrespect Ms. Higurashi," he warned huskily.

"It wasn't disrespect. It was a...disciplinary act because you were being a little fibber," she defended (A/N: lol wut?).

He raised and eyebrow and smirked (A/N: that looks so sexy in my head). This disturbed her so she tried to back up but the stupid counter got in the way.

"Then what 'disciplinary act' should I give you for hitting me?" he questioned.

"You should move your arms, that will teach me a lesson."

He leaned forward and bit her earlobe causing her to yelp.

"I was thinking dinner tonight."

"Sorry, I have plans with Inuyasha," she replied trying to push him away.

He was shocked, "Inuyasha? You're choosing to go on a date with that mutt and not me?"

That pissed her off. She pushed him hard, with a little miko touch, making him go back enough for her to, move around him, but she got right in his face.

"Ok, you can stop right there," she snapped poking his chest, "I don't care why you hate Inuyasha or what you think of him, but do not disrespect him in front of me because, to me, he's better
than you by a long shot!"

She pushed passed him angrily. Sesshoumaru whirled around and grabbed her wrist pulling her back against his chest.

"What do I have to do to have you as my own," he muttered.

Her eyes widened and a light blush dusted her cheeks.

"Thaw your heart out."

She yanked free and left him standing there in amazement; did she just reject him?

(A/N: You see kids that's is what you called pwnage. Lol sorry it took so long review!)
