Kagome Pov.
That day ,at the company ,it took all the energy she had left and Sango was bossy enough to not let her leave the work undone until 10 pm.
Kagome cursed, arriving in her gloomy room, not wanting to hear anyone or eat dinner.
Izayoi prepared her a nice hot bath and she thanked God for such a mother in law.
Her real family wasn't the best subject,because her parents were dead and the only blood relative she had was her little brother Souta who liked to keep away since Kagome choosed to marry Inuyasha and become a public personality while he just wanted to study and be a doctor and stay away from drama and stuff.
‚'' I can't wait for the weekend'' she thought entering her private bathroom.
The warm water made her body ache at first contact but it was relaxing so Kagome closed her eyes for few minutes.
She learned to not allow her mind be free, to not imaginate things, to not remember about the past, about him...She didn't take a break for 3 years, it was dangerous to think about Inuyasha.
She wanted to be just another night without..him.
Sesshomaru Pov.
He was waiting,not knowing how to react to the sudden comeback of his little brother. He tried to picture in his mind ,how to punch him for what he did, but then he spotted his white hair.
-Yo! thank you for coming. his voice was a bit cool and Sesshomaru didn't imagine this kind of greeting.
⁃ You sound like an old man coming from his Tahiti trip. he responded, checking him out from head to toe.
⁃ I hope you came alone. Inuyasha said, moving his luggages around.
⁃ Of course i did! Remember you are the stupid one in this family?! he snapped.
⁃ Chill out Sesshomaru, i just want to go home and sleep. he ignored his comment quite calm, maybe too calm for him.
⁃ You can't come home, especially like this. he told him and opened the trunk's car.
⁃ And why is that? he sounded curious and Sesshomaru wanted to punch him again.
⁃ You kidding me? Kagome leaves there, nobody knows you are coming, little brother are you that dense? i thought the last years would make a difference. he confessed, quite irritated.
⁃ Right...this time you could sense the pain in his voice.
Sesshomaru looked at him, trying to explain why all of this, and he was good at reading him since they were little but right now, a new kind of Inuyasha was standing in front of him.
⁃ I will take you somewhere else if you want. he said, pressing the pedal.
⁃ Take me to my apartment. he finally spoke after few minutes.
⁃ That apartment? I guess its ok since Kagome never goes there.
⁃ I know..again Sesshomaru noticed the pain ,coming from his mouth.
When they reached the residence, Inuyasha went straight to the apartament and both of them found it odd that it was cleaned and intact, but none spoke about it.
⁃ Inuyasha...You know you can't just walk like this into -
⁃ I know! he snapped ,not looking at him.
⁃ I hope you know what you are doing then.
With that, Sesshomaru left, not wanting to deal with his shit for the rest of the night.
By morning, everything will change in their lifes, and he hated that Kagome was going to suffer again.
Inuyasha pov.
Seeing Sesshomaru wasn't an option but Miroku was out of town and he needed to avoid the mass media.
Inuyasha walked around the apartment, touching the walls, noticing how clean it was.
" Maybe Kagome cleaned it..." that thought put a little smile on his lips.
He wished to go where she was, wished to go and tell her " sorry", "forgive me" and all those stuff, but it was too soon or maybe too late for that.
Reaching their old bed, the demon inside him, sniffed the pillows and found the nice smell of her, still fresh like she was beside him.
It turned him on immediatelly, his need for her being so real, but unfortunatly all he did was to punch the mattress like a mad men.
Tomorrow ,he will have to face his family and this time he can't back away, he will have to stick to the plan until the end even if it will be hard for him and Kagome.
At last, he got home, in the same bed he used to share with his wife and that made him relax and fall asleep smiling.
Izayoi POV.
Izayoi made her way to the kitchen, helping the maids to make lunch. She wasn't the best cooker , especially not like Kagome, but she tried her best.
The girl cooked for her long time ago, which tasted amazing and she hoped Kagome would have become a cheff and open her own restaurant but that never happened.
Knock Knock.
⁃ Oh, madame, i will go check the front door. the maid informed her.
⁃ Sure Patty, if its the mail please bring it here. she said still cutting some veggetables for a soup.
After a minute,
While she was checking the pot, she heard the maid making some noise and few seconds later she saw her sweating, standing behind her, with a pale face.
⁃ Is it something wrong Patty?
⁃ Madame, there, at the ...at the front door is your son! she sounded scared.
⁃ Oh Patty, you don't need to be scared of Sesshomaru, i know he might look scary but -
⁃ No! the other son madame! she interrupted her.
The spoon found the floor in that moment and Izayoi ran to the gate.
⁃ Inuyasha! Inuyasha is that you? she screamed from the stairs.
He didn't respond , instead he revealed himself to her eyes and his face could have spoke for him.
Instantly she hugged her son, sobbing like a little girl, thanking God and her husband for bringing him back.
⁃ I'm here mother, i'm sorry ..he tried to say but she told him to shut up.
⁃ Oh my god! This is a miracle, i knew your dad could make you comeback! she smiled and took a while to look at him.
⁃ Mom, i can't really stay..i mean. he couldn't say no to his mother, no matter how polite he tried to sound.
⁃ But Inuyasha... she tried to resonate and change his mind, still smiling and checking him out.
⁃ Mom, maybe later we can meet and talk. I don't want to meet -
⁃ Kagome. she continued for him, realizing the situation.
⁃ Yes, i don't think its the best moment...this time she saw the pain that flashed throughout his amber eyes.
⁃ She is not home sweetie, she has a bussiness trip and will comeback tomorrow night. she informed him while closing the door behind him.
Inuyasha POV.
He relaxed a bit, knowing Kagome wasn't home for now.
Seeing his mother after so long, made him feel soft a bit, he knew how hard it was for her, and the reason he decided to comeback was because of her. He hated to make her worry even though Izayoi was a nice lady and she trusted her sons with everything.
He knew his mother wouldn't criticise him for now, it was safe to stay around for a little while and let her enjoy his presence.
Once they made it back to the kitchen, she prepared lunch for him and started to talk about her garden and his father, work, and the new party.
⁃ A new collaboration? he asked while taking a bite of his bread.
⁃ Yes, Kagome was the one to get a new contract with this men, Koga or something. I heard he is the last survivor of a wolf demon clan and he owns a lot of land near the ocean. she poured some wine in glasses.
⁃ And when is the party? he inquired.
⁃ This friday dear. Please tell me you will come, everyone will be there, Kagome was so busy preparing for it and your dad wants to make sure he will meet everyone in person. she told him still smiling.
⁃ Maybe i will. he said and took the last bite of meat balls.
⁃ Inuyasha... i think you need to know that Kagome might not really like the fact you cameback but...she tried to study him while talking.
Inuyasha knew what she was doing, thats why he avoided the subject and put his, now empty plate ,in the sink.
⁃ Don't worry mom, i know. he kissed her temple fast and left the kitchen to go upstairs.
He knew from Miroku that Kagome moved to his parents and usually wasn't home, most of the time being away on bussiness trips or at the company.
He sniffed the air and found her scent at the end of the hall.
Walking into her room, he spotted how messy it was, clothes all around the chairs and many documents left on the bed side.
"She really works hard" he thought taking a sit down on the floor.
But, A knock of the door made him come to his senses.
⁃ Hello my son. I knew i would find you here. his father told him, still stoic as ever.
⁃ Dad. he merely accepted his entry.
⁃ I appreciate you finally found your way back home. If you could come with me to the study. he pressed the last words with his tongue and Inuyasha knew he was serious.
⁃ Sure old men. He signed, having no reason to not follow his father.
When they made it to the study, Inuyasha took some time to remember all the books and things his father kept in there.
⁃ Inuyasha, i believe your mother informed you about the new party we will be holding and of course that your presence is a must. he said while presenting his son a glass of wine.
⁃ Yes, i know the details. he accepted the drink.
⁃ This is more than you think. now he captured Inuyasha's attention.
⁃ What do you mean? he asked curious.
⁃ Naraku will show up too and you will be a shock for many, especially Kagome.
⁃ Why doesn't that surprise me? That scumbag is invited everywhere. Inuyasha didn't like this situation but he had to face it.
⁃ Sooner or later we will have to deal with this. he hated when his father acted so philosophical.
⁃ Yeah yeah. Cut me some slack ok? I just cameback. Please don't tell Kagome i'm back okay? he had to leave this place, the air was thick.
⁃ She is still your wife, Inuyasha. His father replied sensing how he tried to avoid the conversation.
⁃ I know. he said with grief in his voice and left the mansion in a hurry.
Inuyasha knew he had to come up with some plan and show at the party, like his father said, it was a good opportunity to meet Naraku again.
Flashback
⁃ I told you to get out of my office now! he screamed at him.
⁃ Make me , Inuyasha. his voice was pure poison and he sounded like he enjoyed torturing him.
⁃ Like hell i will! he growled and his eyes turned crimson red.
His demon part wanted to rip him off, and throw his limbs. He couldn't believe his " threat " and the nerve he had to actually come here, so carefree.
⁃ This is just the beginning. You are a fool Inuyasha, the one that usually entertains the king. In this case, I'm the King and i'm about to take your Queen.
In that moment he punched Naraku in the face and his evil smile made his blood go insane.
Fortunately Sango called the bodyguards and they were on time to take a puzzeled and angry Inuyasha off Naraku's body.
Flashback end.
Friday Party.
Miroku POV.
He looked at the invitation ,then at the silver haired men who stood beside him on his car.
Inuyasha showed two nights ago at his place and it was a relief he finally got to see his friend and talk. He looked mature, as much as a 30 years old semi demon could look, but his eyes were different and that made Miroku feel pity for him.
Tonight, they were going to break the party, and that thought gave him a headache.
⁃ Man, this calls for trouble. he complained.
⁃ Miroku, shut the fuck up and park this car already! he said irritated.
⁃ Come on, be thankful i accepted to drive you here, safe and sound. he mimicked a smile, teasing him.
⁃ I don't know how Sango accepted you. he retorted.
⁃ My beautiful lady is here tonight, you know i never miss the chance of seeing Sango in a sexy dress. he was day dreaming already.
⁃ Oi, i don't need your pervert side coming out tonight. Just remember about Naraku and spy him. he ordered before going out the car.
Tonight he was looking very handsome, both of them picked a grey shade suit with neckties, red coloured for Inuyasha and dark blue for him.
Most of the ladies were looking at them and Miroku flashed his sexy smile at them before catching up with a walking Inuyasha.
⁃ I hate to be on the spotlight. he whispered towards Inuyasha.
⁃ You are such a diva. he commented trying to ignore him.
He had to stick to the plan and spy on Naraku that night, which wasn't that hard since the men loved to party and his bodyguards weren't always with him.
He went inside first and greeted some people to blend in better.
The place looked amazing, the service was First class, and he praised Kagome's skill in his mind.
Miroku checked his phone few times and somehow he got nervous, knowing what will be happening in 5 minutes.
Inuyasha POV.
He wasn't nervous, instead, he was scared, but that didn't make him back away and he stood straight in front of the door.
Even from the car park he catched her scent from so many people, and he started to walk confident towards the big ballroom.
There, was his wife and his family talking and laughing like a normal night.
Kagome was dressed in an ocean blue dress that matched her eyes and jewerlies, looking lovely.
Once he got closer to them, his father took notice of him and reached Izayoi's hand.
The press already started to take pictures and their blitz noises made Kagome look in his direction.
That was it...
In that moment, their eyes met and a spark flashed through their bodies, and he walked towards her, ignoring the photographers, having a blank expression.
She was shocked, that much he could read but he hoped she wouldn't make a scene there.
⁃ Hey! Sorry for being late. that was his response and he congratulated himself for being such a good actor and act like everything was cool and natural.
But something told him that Kagome wasn't going to do the same, and it proved him right when she excused herself and left the table.
