Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING BUT THAT OF WHICH I CREATED...which in this case is practically nothing...not anything worth while...not like Inuyasha or anything *sigh*

The Plan

Inuyasha's wound hasn't completely healed. Try as he might, he can't seem to get over Kikyo and her betrayal. But it seems Kagome is making her way into his heart. Taisho ojii-dono seems to have succeeded in making Inuyasha feel absolutely horrible. However, it's not just Inuyasha who is suffering under his rule. Even the cold Sesshomaru, Taisho ojii-dono's lapdog, is being hurt by the old man. What is it that makes Taisho ojii-dono want to make everyone so unhappy? What is so wrong with Katsuko, Sesshomaru's mother, that made Taisho ojii-dono deem her unable to take care of her own son?

...

Kagome blinked in surprise when she found Eriko at the door. "...hi?"

"Come!" Eriko grabbed Kagome's arm.

"Where? Why?" Kagome blurted as Eriko tried to drag her out of her home.

"Inuyasha asked me to bring you over," Eriko answered cryptically.

Kagome sighed, "Why?"

Eriko looked at Kagome with a sly smile before shoving her in front of Inuyasha's door and opening the door for her. "Ask him."

Kagome entered just as Izayoi headed back upstairs. "Inuyasha?"

He lifted his head and it was obvious that he had been crying.

"Inuyasha?!" Kagome asked as she headed towards him.

"Kagome, do you think I'm unlovable?"

...Meanwhile...

Mrs. Higurashi put down her oven mitts as she heard an impatient ringing at the door. "Hello," she smiled brightly as she opened the front door. She was surprised to find an angry old man standing there with a briefcase. "Hello?"

"Mrs. Higurashi, are you aware that I was prepared to offer your daughter an innumerable amount of money and she refused my offer," the old man began.

Mrs. Higurashi smiled knowingly as she recognized him as Taisho ojii-dono. "What for?"

"I wonder the sa-"

"No, I meant what were you offering her the money for?" Mrs. Higurashi clarified.

"Well, I don't much approve of her relationship with my grandson and I was-"

"Then I'm glad she refused," Mrs. Higurashi answered as she began to shut the door.

"But-" he grabbed the door as she tried to shut it.

"She made the right decision in my own opinion," Mrs. Higurashi continued, "Because I'm not sure you could offer anything worth that grandson of yours."

Taisho ojii-dono gritted his teeth. "Do you realize-"

"I hope to get to know you better at the wedding," Mrs. Higurashi cut in, "However, right now I have some cookies I need to pull out of the oven." She shut the door.

Taisho ojii-dono dropped the briefcase in frustration. "This irritating miko and her damn family!" He pulled out his cell phone and sharply ordered, "Find me Fujiwara Hideko."

...Meanwhile...

"Unlovable?" Kagome gasped, "Of course not. There's not a single person on this planet that's unlovable."

"Then why did...why..." Inuyasha's eyes fell to the ground momentarily before he opened his mouth again, "Do you think...do you think Kikyo only wanted me for my money?"

Kagome blinked in surprise. Inuyasha's tears streamed down his cheeks. Kagome's heart clenched. "I...I...she and I weren't very close..." Kagome bit her lip, "But I'm sure Kikyo really liked you. I don't think she would have ever lied about her feelings for you. I'm positive Kikyo really loved you."

The small smile that spread on his face faded quickly. "Then why...why did she leave me?"

Kagome's eyes fell. He sounded so vulnerable. Kagome gulped before meeting his eyes. "I don't know Kikyo well enough to say. But I'm sure that at this minute, Kikyo's probably wondering how you're doing. I'm positive that she's almost called you thousands of times before realizing that she can't. She's probably stewing in her regret. She wishes she could see you again. I'm sure all the money in the world wouldn't mean anything to her now, Inuyasha," Kagome put on a small smile, "That's how I'd feel."

Inuyasha's face fell again.

Kagome lifted his head with her hands, placed on either side of his face. "Inuyasha, never mind what your grandfather said. He's just jealous of you, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha snorted, "You sound like my mother."

"No, really, he is. He can't stand the sight of you happy because he isn't and he can't be," Kagome tried to keep her voice steady but it shook slightly in rage, "He made the decision to marry a woman for financial and business reasons. His marriage is a practical sham and he feels all his descendants must suffer the same way."

Inuyasha looked away.

"Inuyasha, look at me. Your grandfather is a racist asshole, okay? He can't see you past those cute, little ears atop your skull," Kagome continued, "But you have family that does. There are always girls that will only see you for your last name. But there are girls that don't. There are girls that hate the yen signs that float around your last name, Inuyasha."

"Oh yeah?" Inuyasha challenged, "Like who?"

"Like me," Kagome answered before pulling Inuyasha's face up to her own. Locking lips.

"Inuyasha, would you-" Izayoi sighed and turned back around with her tray of cookies, "I'll leave my baby and his fiancee alone for now."

Izayoi glanced at the clock. "Shouldn't Inutaisho be home by now?" she sighed, "I don't see what's so great about that icicle of a son that always keeps him late. But then again, I don't know Sesshomaru that well." Izayoi picked up a soft-baked chocolate chip cookie, "Poor Katsuko, if Taisho ojii-dono had left the 'future heir' to the Taisho business with his mother, maybe Sesshomaru would turned out a lot better. I can't imagine what it would be like not to be able to see my baby."

Kagome pulled away and a deep blush set. "S-s-sorry...I-I-I don't-"

Inuyasha averted her gaze, blushing as well. He got up. "Don't...don't sweat it. That's what fiancees do right?"

Kagome nodded. An awkward silence ensued.

"I think I should go home now..." Kagome declared and headed for the door.

Inuyasha's nose picked up an aromatic scent, "Mama made cookies."

Yesh, a kiss! It wouldn't be a PinkCatsy fanfic without the impromptu makeout, would it?
