Chapter 10: Before They Leave
"You keep looking at Ayame," Inuyasha states as he leans against the mini bar.
Koga shrugs in response as he brings the bottle of beer to his lips.
"Why did you two even break up?" Inuyasha asks with a raised brow.
"She was clingy," Koga mumbles as he watches Ayame dance with one of Inuyasha's cousins.
"And you aren't?" Inuyasha asks with a raised brow. "Wait sorry, you're possessive."
"She wanted a lot of committed that I wasn't ready for."
"But now-"
"What are you? A couple's counselor now?" Koga growls as he looks at his friend. "Just because you're married with kids doesn't mean that I have to follow that lifestyle as well."
"I didn't say you had to. But you look stupid pinning after someone who you broke up with even though she was willing to give you the world."
Koga pauses in what he was going to say. He glances at Inuyasha before looking back at Ayame who's laughing at something her dance partner said.
"All I'm saying is that you need to figure out what you want before you go jumping into something that you shouldn't be in," Inuyasha says before turning around and asking for a glass of water. After receiving it, he walks away. Koga sighs as he looks at Ayame. 'Did he still want, her?'

Later That Night
"How are you feeling?" Inuyasha mumbles as he and Kagome slowly sway to the music. There were still a few people left. His parents had retired to their rooms a few minutes ago. They were planning on leaving that weekend for their "honeymoon".
"Good," Kagome mumbles. "A little sleepy."
"Hmmm," Inuyasha hums as he watches Kazushi play with his Grandpa Makoto. "So," he mumbles.
"So?" Kagome asks with a giggle while entwining their fingers.
"Were you serious about staying here?" He asks as he kisses the side of her head.
"Yes, I was," Kagome states as she pulls back a little to look up at him. "We don't have to stay here long. Maybe a year or two after the twins are born; see if we like it here. If that's okay with you."
"If that's what you want," Inuyasha responds causing Kagome to sigh.
"And if that's good with you. You have a law firm in America Yash. I can model anywhere. If us staying here ruins you-"
"It wouldn't. I have everything under control," Inuyasha tells her. "I'll have Lee step up and take over."
Kagome nods her head in response.
"I'll call and see if I can get our stuff moved-"
"First we have to find a house, silly," Kagome says as she lays her head on his chest.
"Yeah. We can do that sometime this weekend."
Kagome nods again as she looks up at him. "I like this side of you. The obedience is such a turn on."
Kagome loudly squeals as Inuyasha suddenly turns around and dips her.
"I'm not your puppy little girl. I'll show you the big and bad dog that I am," Inuyasha growls before nipping at her chin. His wife giggles as her arms snakes up and wrap around his neck.
"And I can't wait for you to show me."
.

Fifteen Minutes Later
With Kikyo
"I'm sad that you couldn't come," Kikyo says as she closes the door to her room. She walks towards the bed and takes off her heels. She's jungles her phone between her shoulder and ear.
"I am too. I love spending time with you," Bankotsu says as she leans back in his chair while playing with the pen in hands. "I know you would have liked to show me off."
"I would have. I want to show everyone who's always makes me smile," Kikyo says as she starts talking off her jewelry.
Bankotsu lets out a chuckle as Suikotsu walks into his office. "I can't take credit for all of that, though."
"You can," Kikyo says. "I haven't smiled like this in a long time."
Suikotsu sets a folder on his desk before walking out. "Well, maybe tonight, you can come over and I can increase that smile."
"What are you applying Bankotsu?" Kikyo seductively asks as she stands up and looks at her reflection.
"I think you know," Bankotsu says as he opens the folder and takes out the slip of paper; it was a phone number. 'The boss wants to talk. I wonder what it is that he wants.'
"Well I'm a little tired right now, but maybe later," Kikyo says in a false sad tone.
Bankotsu chuckle as Suikotsu rushes into the room. He raises a brow but Suikotsu quickly walks towards his desk and writes something down in his notepad. He leans forward and reads it, it said: Son #1 is here.
His eyes widen as he looks at Suikotsu wide eyes.
"But ma-"
"Kikyo, I'm going to have to call you back, something came up."
"Oh. Okay. Well goodnight."
"Night."
"B-"
Beeeeep!
"He hanged up on me," Kikyo says with a furrow of the borrow. "I wonder what came up."
.
.
With Bankotsu
"Mr. Spider," Bankotsu greets with a bow as a tall, slender man walks into the room with long black hair.
"Bankotsu, why so formal? Address me as Byakuya," Byakuya says as he walks towards the couch in the corner. "Would you make me a drink, I'm rather thirsty."
Bankotsu nods towards Suikotsu who nods and turns to make a drink at the bar in the opposite corner of the room. Suikotsu keeps an eye and ear out towards the other two men in the room.
"What brings you by?" Bankotsu asks as he takes a seat next to Byakuya on the couch.
"Father wanted to know your progress and he wanted to make sure you got the new number," Byakuya states as Suikotsu hands him a glass filled with liquor. "Thank you."
"Everything is going smoothly and yes I did."
"He also wanted to know how long it would take," Byakuya states before taking a sip of his whiskey on the rocks. "He was extremely impressed by the church fire."
"That was an accident," Bankotsu states with a glare; he was still angry over the incident.
"But he liked it," Byakuya points out. "He loved the attention and the fear in Makoto's eyes."
"So, your father is a sadistic," Bankotsu responds with a smirk causing Byakuya to nod his head from side to side.
"Tomato, tomato. So how long do you think it would take?"
"How long does he want it to take, I can get and kill her right now."
"Killing her wasn't part of the deal," Byakuya reminds. "Not yet anyways. However, father desires for her capture to be unexpected. Because of the church fire, capturing her now would be a given."
"I need a time frame. I have other offers and jobs to do," Bankotsu states as he leans against the couch.
"There's what, seven of you all, someone else can't do additional jobs?" Byakuya questions as he starts to drink his whiskey on the rocks.
"There's six of us. Jakotsu is," Bankotsu starts to say but pauses. Suikotsu tilts his head to the side at his brothers' pause. "is no longer with us. We also like to work together and get the current job done before we move on to another."
Byakuya nods as he finishes his drink. "I'll say five months."
"Uhh."
"Have Kagome captured in five months. Is there a problem?" He asks with a raised elegant brow.
"That's too long," Bankotsu defends his previous action of annoyance and anger.
"Long enough for it to be a surprise," Byakuya says. "The element of surprise, remember that."
Bankotsu sighs as he leans back. "Five months is fine then. However, the monthly payments need to be in the account on the first of every month. Not a second late or we drop this."
"$500,000 will be placed in the account on time," Byakuya says before setting his glass down on the coffee table. "Well, I'm sorry to cut this meeting short, but I must visit father before the time gets late."
Bankotsu nods as they both stand up; Suikotsu continues to stand against the wall.
"Nice doing business Bankotsu," Byakuya states while holding out his hand.
"Likewise, Byakuya," Bankotsu says as he shakes his hand with a sinister smile on his face. "Likewise."
.
.
With Kagome
"I'll come over this weekend, Naomi," Kagome says as she gets into bed. "And yes, I have started showing. It's like a small bump," she tells her friend as she rubs her stomach. "Okay. I'll see you soon. Okay, bye."
Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" Kagome shouts as she gets herself situated in bed. She twists around to grab her glass of apple juice off the nightstand.
"Hey."
"Hey," Kagome responds back as she looks at Sango. "What's up?"
"Is Inuyasha here?" She asks while walking fully into the room and closing the door behind her.
"No. He's taking a shower. What's up?"
"So you know abo-"
"You being pregnant, yes," Kagome finishes as Sango takes a seat on the side of the bed. Sango nods in response.
"So, what are you going to do next?" Kagome asks before taking a sip of her drink.
"I, uhh, I don't know," Sango responds before running her fingers through her hair. "I wasn't even planning on having kids, especially this early."
"Kids are blessings," Kagome states as she places a hand on her stomach. "You're just scared right now and that's completely fine."
Sango sighs as she leans back. "What do you think I should do?"
"You should tell Miroku," Kagome states. "So, you both can work through this together. From here on out, it's not just you anymore."
Kagome leans over and with his free hand, grabs Sango's hand. "Hey, look, everything's going to be okay. If you decide to keep and have this baby, your world is going to change, in a good way. You're going to love that baby and he or she is going to mean the world to you; they'll look up to you, literally."
Her and Sango giggle at her little joke. "But just think this over and talk to Miroku before you make any major decisions."
"Thanks, Kagome."
"Hey, Sango, what are you doing in here?" Inuyasha asks with a raised brow as he throws his wet towel on the dresser; he's dressed in grey shorts and a red wife beater.
"Just checking up on Kagome. She looked sick," Sango says as Kagome takes a sip of her apple juice.
Inuyasha nods as he turns around and puts his hair into a ponytail. "Is the pervert still drunk?"
"Most likely," Sango says with a sigh and shake of the head.
"Miroku's drunk? He looked perfectly fine to me," Kagome says as she sets her glass down on the nightstand.
"Miroku's a weird drunk. Like he acts completely normal, he's a little too friendly and he starts talking about the past but he's normal," Sango states with a shake of the head.
"That sounds amazing," Kagome says in awe.
"Until the next day though," Inuyasha interjects. "He has the worst hang over. Kami! I can still smell his barf in the backseat of my car."
"That's disgusting," Kagome says as she places a hand over her mouth as she envisions what Inuyasha just said.
"It is," Sango states with a shake of the head. She pats Kagome's knee before standing up. "Well, I'll let you two be. I can't wait for the spa tomorrow."
"Me either!" Kagome tells her with a smile.
"Well, goodnight you two," Sango says as she gives them a wave before walking out the room.
"Night," Kagome and Inuyasha both say.
As Inuyasha gets into bed, Kagome leans over and grabs the remote and turns the tv on. She places the tv on a crime show before snuggling into her husband's side. Inuyasha wraps an arm around her shoulders and pulls her closer to him.
"Did you have fun today?"
"Yes," Kagome whispers as he kisses her head.
"Hmmm."
"Inu."
"Hmmm?"
"I love you."
Inuyasha smirks as he looks down at her. He kisses her head before turning to look at the tv.
'Today was a good day.'
.

The Next Day
With Rin
Rin smiles as she watches her fiancé husband type something into his laptop. She walks into the room carrying a plate of breakfast food and a glass of orange juice.
"Hey," she happily greets.
"Hey," Sesshomaru mumbles back as he continues to type.
Rin sets the food and glass on the night stand before grabbing his laptop.
"Rin, I was working," Sesshomaru tells her.
"I know, but it's early and I need attention," Rin states as she climbs up and into his lap.
Sesshomaru chuckles as he places his hands on Rin's hip.
"What is it?"
"Today's a special day," Rin squeals. It was the day that her and Sesshomaru first met, it was also the anniversary of when they first started dating. She leans over and grabs a piece of bacon and feeds it to him. Sesshomaru chews on it while looking at Rin with a raised brow.
"Well it's not your birthday," he says as he leans over and grabs a piece of bacon. "And it's not my birthday, so what is it?"
Rin's face goes blank at his statement. "Are you serious?"
"What's today Rin?" Sesshomaru asks with a raised brow.
"UHHHHHH! You jerk!" Rin screams as she pushes away from.
"Rin will you calm down and tell me what today is?" Sesshomaru says as Rin jumps off the bed and towards the door.
"You're so stupid sometimes, Sesshomaru. Like can you remember one day; our anniversary, the first day we meet and started dating," Rin snaps as she turns around to face him.
"Shit, Rin I'm-"
"You're sorry?" Rin questions with a raised brow. "You're always sorry. You know what the funny thing is? You're always sorry but you never mean it."
"Rin don-"Sesshomaru starts to say as he gets out of bed.
"No, Sesshomaru!" Rin snaps. "Whenever I'm around you, I'm always the obedient one who allows you to just walk all over me and I'm tired of it."
"Ri-"
"You're a fucking jerk!" Rin shouts before turning around, walking out the room, and slamming the door behind her.
Sesshomaru sighs as he sits on the bed and runs his hands through his hair. "Women," he mumbles before thinking over what Rin just said, well rather yelled.
.
.
With Rin
"I fucking hate him!" Rin shouts as she marches into the kitchen.
"Who?" Ayame asks as she sets her empty glass into the sink.
"Sesshomaru! That man! Uhh! He's so frustrating sometimes."
"Well Kagome, Sango, and I were planning on going to the spa today, since Thursday is my last day in Tokyo. You want to come?"
"Yes! You're a lifesaver, Ay!" Rin shouts as she starts to walk out of the room. "I need to get away from that rude dog!"
Ayame chuckles as she watches her friend start her rant about her "good for nothing" fiancé.
"Let me good find Kagome and tell her the update," Ayame says as she walks out of the kitchen. She walks up the stairs and to Inuyasha's old bedroom.
She knocks on the door and waits until she here's a breathless 'yes'. Ayame raises a brow before shrugging it off and opening the door. "He-Oh my gosh!"
"Ayame!" Inuyasha and Kagome shout as they try to cover their naked bodies.
"Oh my gosh!" Ayame shouts as she places her hands over her eyes.
"Close the fucking door, Ayame!" Inuyasha growls as Kagome covers herself with a pillow.
"Okay! Sorry!" Ayame shouts as she slams the door. She leans against their closed door with a red face.
Koga laughs as he walks down the hallway and sees her. "Your nose didn't tell you that those two were busy?"
"Shut up! I wasn't paying attention," Ayame defends as she leans off the door and walks down the hallway with him.
Koga chuckles as he glances at her. "How are you?"
"Oh me? Good. I'm leaving in a couple of days, so Kagome, Sango, and I were planning on going to this spa," Ayame says as they walk down the stairs.
"Sounds nice. Maybe before we leave, we can get dinner together," he suggests as he stops on the second stair and looks at her.
With wide green eyes, Ayame nods. She smiles as she reaches up and twirls a piece of hair around her finger. "I'll like that."
Koga flashes her another smile before continuing his journey down the stairs.
Ayame sighs as she leans against the railing. "The man has me wrapped around his finger." She shakes her head with a slight frown on her face. "Oh Koga."
.
.
An hour later
"Ayame, will you stop apologizing?" Kagome questions as she glances at her from her spot next to her.
"I can't believe you walked in on those two doing it," Rin states with a giggle as she gets off the highway.
"I didn't even mean to!" Ayame shouts in horror as she covers her eyes.
"Has Kazushi ever walked in on you two?" Rin asks as she stops at the red light before making a right turn.
"All the time," Kagome says as she digs through her purse and grabs a candy bar. "We usually try to get intimate at night when he's sleep, but he always manages to burst through the door right in the good part."
"Ewwww, Kagome! TMI!" Ayame shout a as she covers her ears.
"Exactly. Inuyasha basically my brother," Rin whines from the front seat.
"Well you asked," Kagome says with a grin before opening the candy bar and placing it in her mouth. They girls laugh as Rin turns into the parking lot of the spa place. After getting out and going inside, they are greeted by Sango and Kikyo.
"Kikyo, I didn't know you were going to be here," Rin states as she hugs her friend.
"I wasn't, but Sango mentioned that you all were going to the spa and I decided that I needed to relax before I go," Kikyo responds with a slight shrug.
"Well this shall be fun," Ayame states causing Kagome to look at her before turning to take a seat in the waiting room, the girls follow her.
'This shall be fun indeed,' Kikyo thinks as she glances at Kagome who's currently talking to Rin.
.
.
With Naraku
"I'll be back in an hour," Sota states as he stands in the door way of their office. Naraku nods as he continues to type words on a document. "Do you want anything?"
"Sushi and strawberry milk."
Sota rolls his eyes at his brother's unusual request but nods. Naraku waits five minutes after Sota leaves before standing up and pulling out his phone. He opened the message that he received ten minutes ago. It read: I am here
After meeting Suikotsu at the designated location and blind folding him, Naraku shoves the clueless Suikotsu into the room that he and Sota were using as their office.
"The rough housing isn't needed," Suikotsu mumbles as Naraku takes the blind fold off and tells him to sit in the seat adjacent from his. Suikotsu rolls his eyes but does as told.
"You know how much this is costing me, right? If one of the brothers find out-"
"That's none of my concern," Naraku states as he takes his seat. He leans over, opens the desk drawer and pulls out a notepad and pen. He slams them on the desk before looking at his ex-lover's brother.
"Now, tell me what the Band of Seven is up to."
.
.
With the Girls
"That massage was much needed," Kagome says as one of the workers paints her toenails red.
"Same here," Sango agrees as she leans back in her seat and takes of sip of her champagne.
"So, when are you and Miroku leaving?" Ayame asks as she looks at her friend. They were sitting in a chair getting a manicure and pedicure done while Rin and Kikyo were getting their massages. After they were done, they would all go take a shower then go relax in the steam room.
"It was supposed to be Wednesday, but Miroku's job wants him in by Wednesday so we're leaving tomorrow afternoon. Back to the life of work and stress," Sango states as she raises her glasses. Kagome and Ayame laugh but grab their glasses along with her.
"Cheers!" They shout before taking sips of their drinks.
"When are you leaving Ayame?" Sango asks as Kagome takes a sip of her orange juice.
"Thursday. How about you, Kagome?"
Kagome sets her glasses down before looking at her new friends. "Actually, Inuyasha and I are planning on staying here until the twins are born."
"Really?! That's cool," Sango tells her.
"Thanks. It would be nice to be close to the family and what not," Kagome says. "Especially with mom and dad retiring, I think the kids would like spending time with them. I know Kazushi would love to."
"Putting the kids first, I like it," Ayame states with a nod as she takes a sip of her champagne. Sango nods as well as her hand shift down to her stomach; she catches Kagome's eye before moving her hand away.
"So, have you and Inuyasha started betting on the twins' genders?" She asks.
"Yeah. Inuyasha thinks it's' girls, but I think they're boys."
"What does the winner get?" Ayame asks with a giggle.
"Well we hand to change it. Now the winner gets a 'special' prize," Kagome says with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Ahhhhhh!" Ayame and Sango scream causing the workers to jump a little.
"I strive to be like you and Inuyasha! It's so cute!" Ayame gushes as Kikyo and Rin walk into the room, wearing white fluffy robes.
"We're pretty great," Kagome says before letting out a laugh.
The girls continue to talk amongst themselves as they get 'wined' and dined. Overall though, they were having a good time.
.
.
With Inuyasha
"I don't know why I play pool with you," Inuyasha says as he slams money on the green pool table. Makoto grins as he pockets the money. "I have a growing family, you know."
"Then you shouldn't have said money was involved," Inu No Taisho says from his spot on the side. Inuyasha rolls his eyes in response.
"So, when are you and Kagome leaving?" Inu No Taisho asks as he stands up and gathers the balls. Makoto steps back and allows him to set up the game again.
"About that," Inuyasha says as he scratches the back of his head. "Kagome wants to stay here for a while."
"Really?" Makoto says in surprise as he looks at his son-in-law.
"Yes. So, I've been looking around for a house for us to stay in," Inuyasha states.
"You know you can always stay with us," Inu No Taisho offers.
"We know. But Kagome wants to get the feel of Tokyo again."
Inu No Taisho nods as he walks towards the corner of the room to fix himself a drink.
"So how long are you guys planning on staying?" Makoto asks as he sits on the side of the pool table.
"A year or two," Inuyasha states. Makoto nods before looking at his son-in-law.
"Inuyasha."
"Hmmm?" Inuyasha responds as he looks at his father-in-law.
"You're good to my daughter," Makoto states. "I appreciate that."
"Was that you trying to be nice to me?" Inuyasha asks with shock. Makoto barely gave out compliments, especially towards him. The closest thing he got to a compliment from this man was when Kazushi was born. And the compliment was: "You finally did something useful. At least we know you're not a blank shooter."
Inuyasha shook his head at the thought.
"Well, I guess I should be nicer towards you since Kagome is on children number 2 and 3 and we're going to be seeing more of each other," Makoto states as Inu No Taisho walks towards him and hands him a glass filled with gold liquor.
Inuyasha's eyebrows furrow at the comment. "Thanks Makoto."
"However, Korari told me that I need to be nicer towards people, so I guess I'll start with you," Makoto points out with a smile before bringing the glass to his lips. Inu No Taisho chuckles as his son rolls his eyes.
"Thanks. Can we just get on with the game?"
"But seriously, you're a good man and I'm glad Kagome has you in her life," Makoto tells him truthfully as he gets off the pool table and sets his glass down on the side. Inuyasha nods as hears the truth behind his voice; he really appreciated that.
"Well now that we got that out of the way," Makoto says as he walks around the table to grab his stick. "How much are we betting this round?"
.
.
With the Girls
"It sounds like you all had fun years ago," Kagome says with a smile as she rubs her stomach through the towel. They were all in the steam room. Currently the girls were talk about the past and the 'good old times'.
"We did. It was perfect too because we were all couples," Ayame states with a smile.
"Yeah, life was good," Rin states with a smile.
"I thought it still was," Kagome says. "What happen?" She asks as she looks around.
Rin glances at Sango who glances at Ayame who glances at Kikyo.
"What happened, guys? You're acting like it's a secret," Kagome states with a laugh as she looks around the quiet room.
"Well, I guess I'm to blame," Kikyo tells her with a slight frown. "When I denied Inuyasha's prop-"
"Kikyo, it's not your fault. We just all kinda drifted apart," Ayame says. "We all went our separate ways and started our own lives."
"She's right," Sango agrees. Rin nods in agreement.
Kagome stares at the friends before biting her lip. She had this question that needed to be answered. "So, what do you think would have happen if you accepted his proposal, Inuyasha's proposal?"
"I'll be sitting where you're sitting," Kikyo states, without hesitation. "What Inuyasha and I had, it was strong, it was special, nothing could destroy what we had."
There's silence after Kikyo's statement, Ayame closes her eyes and leans against the wall. Sango looks at Kagome while Rin looks at Kikyo with her hands covering her mouth, she could literally see the fighting that was going to happen.
"I see," Kagome states as she places a hand on her stomach and stares at Kikyo. "However, if it was so indestructible, why is he with me. One bump in the road shouldn't have caused you guys to fall apart like that."
Kikyo sighs as she runs a hand through her semi-damp hair. "Look Kagome, I was just being honest. I know you wanted an honest answer."
"And I appreciate that. Don't get angry now that I've respond to you in an honest way," Kagome defends as she leans forward a little.
"You shouldn't be so hostile, Kagome," Kikyo mocks as she leans up a little.
"Then stop talking about my husband like you still want him," Kagome snaps. "I'm not being hostile, I'm being aware and protective, there's a difference."
"Look Kagome, I don't want Inuyasha," Kikyo states causing Sango, Rin, and Ayame to raise a brow.
"Because you're involved with someone else," Kagome mockingly responds as she stands up. "I get that but listen to me."
Kikyo crosses her arms as Kagome looks her dead in her eyes. "When you're done with whatever relationship you're in, you better stay away from my husband."
"Your little petty threats aren't welcomed," Kikyo says as she stands up as well.
"There's no threats here, honey," Kagome states. "I keep promise."
"Wow. I just now noticed it. I can't believe that I didn't see this before," Kikyo says as she places a hand on her head. She laughs causing everyone, besides her, to raise a brow.
"What have you noticed, wise one?" Kagome asks as she places her hands together and bows.
"You're jealous," Kikyo tells her, giving her a sinister smile.
"Jealous of what?" Kagome asks with a raised brow.
"Because I had Inuyasha first. He held me first, he kissed me first, told me he loved me first," Kikyo states. "I was his first for everything-"
"Wrong," Kagome interrupts causing Kikyo to stop in her speech.
"What?"
"I was the first one Inuyasha gave himself to. I was the first one Inuyasha truly fell in love with, the first one he held at night and told his darkest secrets to," Kagome says as she slowly walks towards her husband's ex-girlfriend. "The first one who mothers his children, the first one he's sees in the morning and the last one he'll see at night, the first one he'll caress and touch when he wakes up."
Kikyo's eyebrow furrow and her frown deepens at Kagome's statements.
She stops a few inches away from Kikyo's face and smiles. "You were never Inuyasha's first, Kiks. You were just there, sweetheart."
"You bitch!" Kikyo loudly snaps, she was about to raise her hand when Sango interferes.
"And that's enough," Sango interjects as she steps in between the two.
"Let's just sit over here, Kiks," Ayame says as she moves Kikyo to sit in the corner while Sango moves Kagome to sit in the other corner.
"You know what, I'm tired of this," Rin snaps causing everyone to look at her. "Kikyo, look," she says as she turns to face the woman in questioning. "Inuyasha isn't yours. Hell, he'll never been yours. He loves Kagome. You missed out on your opportunity, or life with him when you said no. You were just a moment too late."
Kikyo looks down at her statement, she was right.
"And you," Rin says as she turns to face Kagome.
"Me?" Kagome asks with a raised brow as she places a hand on her stomach.
"Yes. Stop attacking her, stop staking your claim on Inuyasha. We know he's yours," Rin says. "But," she starts to say causing Kagome to look at her. "We were all rude towards you when you first came. We shouldn't have behaved like that. We're all grown women."
"We do apologize, Kagome," Sango states, causing Ayame to nod in agreement.
"I'm sorry too," Ayame says.
Kagome sighs as she runs her hands through her hair. "Forgiven but never forget."
"I can live with that," Rin says as she takes a seat next Kagome on the bench.
"So, for these last few days, can we just be friends, or at least civil with each other?" Sango asks.
"I can do that," Kagome says. "I think you're all really cool and nice to hang out with. I think we just got off on the wrong foot."
"Agreed," Rin states.
"Friends?" Ayame asks.
"Friends," Kagome says with a smile.
"Friends," Sango and Rin state.
"Friends," Ayame tells them before looking at Kikyo who had become silent throughout the entire conversation.
Kikyo sighs as she runs he fingers through her hair and looks at all their faces. She cracks a small smile as she looks at them. She couldn't get over the hurtful statements, however, she would try for now.
"Friends."
.

With Naraku
"Give me a name," Naraku tells Suikotsu.
"I don't know his name, honestly," Suikotsu states. Naraku rolls his eyes while looking down at his notepad. "However-"
Naraku looks up as he beings to speak. "He goes by the name of Bandit and recently, his son Byakuya. "
"Bandit and Byakuya?" Naraku questions with a raised brow.
"Yes. Number 7 recently mentioned the name the other day," Suikotsu says as Naraku writes something down.
"Interesting," Naraku mumbles as the door opens.
"Hey Naraku, I go-WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?" Sota shouts as he pulls out his gun and points it at Suikotsu. In response, Suikotsu pulls out his gun and points it at Sota.
"Will you two put the fucking guns down,"
"Naraku do you know who he is? He's fucking part of the Band of Seven."
"I know who he is and that's why he's here," Naraku snaps as he stands up and grabs the gun from Suikotsu's hand. "Sota, put the gun down. He's not a threat."
"No!"
Naraku sighs; he positions himself so he's standing between the two. "Look, Sota, Suikotsu is working for us now. I contacted him after the church fire and-"
"More like kicked my ass and threatened me," Suikotsu mumbles causing Naraku to turn around and glare at him.
"He's been giving me information about the Band of Seven and who they're working for," Naraku explains.
"In exchange for what?" Sota questions with a glare.
Naraku sighs as he runs a hand through his hair. "I offered him time to see Jakotsu and a lighter sentence than his brothers when caught."
Sota continues to glare at the two. After a minute of silence, Sota sighs and stops pointing his gun at Suikotsu. "You're going to tell me everything that you know," he states with a serious look and tone as he looks at his brother.
Naraku nods as he looks at Suikotsu who continues to stare at Sota with cautious eyes.
"Can we act like civil people and sit at the table?" Naraku asks as he gestures towards the table and chairs in the corner of the room.
"I don't know, can we, Suikotsu? Hopefully you don't kill another twenty people on your way there."
"First of all," Suikotsu snaps as he glares at the younger man. "That was my other personality."
"You have two, right?" Sota mockingly says. "I know all about you and your murderous brothers."
"Okay, can we stop chit chatting and get to business?" Naraku snaps. "Suikotsu's here because someone is after Kagome and we need to know why and how the Band of Seven are planning on capturing her."
Sota growls as he crosses his arms over his chest. "Fine. Let's hear what he has to say. However, we can't believe everything that he says."
"I know that," Naraku states as he pushes Suikotsu towards the direction of the table.
"Why am I always being man-handled. I'm not Jakotsu, I don't like that shit," Suikotsu states as Naraku shoves him down. Naraku rolls his eyes as he sits in the chair diagonal from him while Sota sits across from him.
"So how are you guys planning on stealing our sister and why?" Sota asks immediately. Suikotsu rolls his eyes as he places his arms on the table.
"Fine. He's what I know-"
.

Later that Night
With Kagome
"Okay, babies, we had our midnight snack, now, it's time to go to sleep," Kagome says as she places the empty bowl into the sink. She had just had a huge bowl of vanilla ice cream with fudge. She walks out the kitchen and into the hallway.
She looks towards the front door as she hears commotion coming from the outside. She raises a brow and walks towards the front door. She opens the door only to be greeted with the happy face of her husband.
"KAGOME!" He screams in a high-pitched voice.
"Oh my Kami, what did you guys do?" Kagome growls as she looks passed her husband and towards the slightly drunk men behind him.
"Sorry Kagome. We kinda drank too much," Koga says as he rubs the back of his head. Kagome glares at them before grabbing Inuyasha's hand.
"Kagome, Kagome, guess what we did today! Guess!" Inuyasha shouts as he jumps up and down.
"What did you do?" Kagome asks with annoyance. She already put Kazushi to bed, she didn't want to deal with another child tonight.
"We had a lot of beer and whiskey," Inuyasha whispers as he wraps his arm around her shoulder and leans his body against hers. "It was so goooooooddddd. I had SSOOOOO MUCCCH fuuuunn."
"I'm glad because you won't be having any more fun again," Kagome says as she walks backwards and Inuyasha follows. She glares at the men with fire in her eyes.
"Did you need help, Kagome?" Miroku asks. Kagome glares at them from over Inuyasha's shoulder as she continues to walk backward.
"I don't need any of your help. You guys have done enough," Kagome snaps as she lightly pushes Inuyasha off of her before dragging Inuyasha up the stairs.
"Byyyyyeeeee guyyyyyyssss!" Inuyasha screams as Kagome drags him up the stairs. He waves before turning around and placing his hands on Kagome's waist.
"Kagome! KAGOME! Kagome! Where are we going? Huh? Huh?"
"To sleep, you need sleep," Kagome says as they continue to climb up the stairs.
"So, you think Kagome is mad at us?" Koga asks as Sesshomaru locks the door.
"Nah, she good," Miroku states. "Well, I had fun boys. However, tomorrow is when I take my departure, I do hope we see each again."
Sesshomaru rolls his eyes at Miroku's speech; he was drunk too. Out of all of them, he was the soberest. However, the men give Miroku a hug and a pat on the back.
"Just call us and we can hang again," Koga tells him, causing Miroku to smirk and nod.
"Will do my friend. Will do," Miroku states before they walk towards the staircase.
.
.
With Kagome and Inuyasha
"You're really drunk," Kagome says as she takes off Inuyasha's shoes.
"I know. Hehe, don't tell mama," Inuyasha says in a kid's voice.
"I should tell Izzy so your dumbass can get in trouble," Kagome mumbles as she stands up and starts to unbutton Inuyasha's shirt. "You're just a big o'puppy."
"Woof Woof!"
Kagome shakes her head as she unbuttons his last button. "Okay, take off the shirt."
Lazily, Inuyasha leans up and takes off his shirt and shoves it in her face.
"Good boy," Kagome coos with a roll of the eyes as she grabs the shirt and throws it somewhere on the floor.
"Now, take off your pants."
Inuyasha smirks before standing up and pulling down his pants and boxers.
"Really Yash?" Kagome asks with a raised brow as her husband stands in front of her naked, besides the socks and boxers and pants around his ankles. "You know what, I don't even care. Get in bed."
Inuyasha shakes off his pants and boxer before diving into bed and getting underneath the covers.
"He's like a total child," Kagome mumbles with a shake of the head as she walks to his side of the bed. She smiles as she remembers the time he proposed to her. Although she hated him when he was drunk, she liked taking care of her husband, her personal big baby.
"Is baby Yashie ready to go to bed?" She coos as she ruffs his head. Inuyasha eagerly nods as he stares up at her.
"Good. Just lay there and go to sleep," Kagome says as she kisses his head. She sighs as she walks around the bed and gets in on her side. She leans over and turns off her light before getting comfortable in bed.
"Kagome."
"What?" Kagome asks as she gets underneath the covers.
"I love you."
Kagome turns around and looks at her husband who's looking at her with big, golden, puppy dog eyes.
Kagome giggles as she cups his face and leans over and kisses him.
"I love you too, silly puppy. Now go to sleep."
Kagome giggles as he snuggles into her neck and closes his eyes.
"My big puppy," she mumbles as she runs her fingers through his hair.
.
.
With Sango and Miroku
"I thought you'll never come back," Sango states as Miroku opens the door to their room.
"Yeah, sorry about that," he says as he walks into the room. He closes the door before walking towards her and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "We were just having fun."
"Uh ah. Well I hope you weren't having too much fun," Sango says as her eyes narrow. Miroku just grins as he walks away from the bed and towards the end of it. He was planning on taking a shower and going to sleep. "Are you drunk?"
"Most likely, lover," Miroku tells her with a grin causing Sango to roll her eyes. "But Inuyasha's drunker that I am. So, who's the real loser?"
Sango shakes her head as she closes her laptop and places it on the night stand.
"Hopefully Kagome won't still be pissed at us tomorrow," Miroku says as he throws his pants into the dirty clothes' hamper.
"What did you guys do?" Sango asks with a raised brow. "Buy out the entire bar and drink yourselves to death?"
"Well we start playing never have I ev-"
"What are you guys, school girls?" Sango asks with laughter in her voice. "You guys are so immature."
"ANYWAYS!" Miroku shouts causing Sango to burst out in laughter. "Well, we came to learn that Inuyasha and Kagome are sex freaks."
Sango shakes her head at his comment.
"No, I'm serious, they had sex in the laundry room on the dryer and washer machine while they were on. Sango, my dear, we need to step our game up."
Sango shakes her head again, she didn't even want to know how he knows that. Miroku grins at her before walking into their bathroom without a shirt or pants on, just his boxers.
Sango sighs as she runs her hands through her hair. She needed to tell him now before she chickens out.
"Miroku!"
"Yes, my love!" He shouts as he turns the water on for the shower.
"I'm pregnant!" She shouts before closing her eyes. She waits to hear his shouts of joy or horror but it never comes.
"What was that, Sango? Sorry, the water drowned you out," Miroku says as she walks out the room with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"I-" Sango starts to say but pauses as she looks into Miroku's eyes. She could see the trust and admiration in them. She couldn't hide the truth anymore.
"I said, I'm pregnant."
Miroku just smirks as he looks at her, "Pregnant as i-"
"In less than nine months, you're going to be a father. We're going to have a baby."
Miroku stares at her, blankly for a second causing Sango to bite her bottom lip.
"Are you serious?" He slowly asks.
Sango nods yes in response. Before she knew it, Miroku was jumping up and down for joy and shouting. "Are you serious!? You're serious! Oh my Kami! Yes! Yes!"
She giggles as she watches the ecstatic Miroku. He runs to the bed and grabs her; he wraps his arms around her in a tight hug and he continues to shout out his joy.
"Oh my Kami, San, we're going to have a baby!"
"I know," Sango says as tears form in her eyes; this was the happiness she has ever seen him. She smiles as he gets down on his knees and kisses her stomach through her tank top.
"What are you doing?" She asks as she wipes the tears off her cheek. He ignores her as he places his head on her stomach.
"Hey baby, I'm your dad. I can't wait to see you," he whispers causing more tears to run down Sango's cheek. He gives her stomach another kiss before standing up and kissing Sango.
"Why the tears, love?"
"I'm just so happy," Sango whispers as he wipes the tears from her eyes.
"Me too," he states with a chuckle as tears form in his eyes as well. "I can't believe it, Sango. A baby! We created a baby."
Sango nods giving him a grin. She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a hug. Seeing his happiness made her realized that she wasn't alone and that this baby would bring a joy that they couldn't reach on their own.
"I love you, Miroku," she whispers.
"And I love you, Sango," he says as he hugs her back.
.
.
With Kikyo
Knock knock!
"Hel-Kikyo?" Bankotsu says in shock as he stares at the woman standing in front of his door. He's wearing grey jogging pants and a white t-shirt.
"Hi," Kikyo responds with a weak smile. "Can I come in?"
"Uhh, can you wait one second," he states. Before should could respond, he closes the door. She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. Today was not a good day. After the spa, she had called a taxi and went out to eat. Afterwards, she sat at the beach and reflected. She sighs again; she just wanted someone to hug and comfort her.
"What am I really doing with my life? Would anyone truly love me?"
She looks up as a man with long dark brown hair and eyes walks out of Bankotsu's apartment. The man also had a small mole under his left eye and a green bandana wrapped around his head; the bandana matched the green button-down shirt that he wore. Along with the green shirt, he wore a black suit.
"My father will be in touch," he states.
Bankotsu nods as he opens the door wider. "I'm anticipating it, Muso."
Muso nods before walking around Kikyo and down the hall. Kikyo watches him before turning back around to face the smiling Bankotsu.
"Who was that?"
"A friend from work," Bankotsu states. Kikyo nods in response. "Come in," he says as he steps back. "You look sad, tell me what's wrong."
Kikyo nods as she walks inside; Bankotsu closes the door behind her.
.
.
With Naraku
"How was your food, Jakotsu?" Naraku asks as he walks into the room.
"Well since the food was actually good, I would say excellent," Jakotsu states as he gives him a smirk. "Thank you."
"I didn't do it because of you," Naraku snaps. "I did it because I was in a good mood."
However, that was not the entire truth. Seeing the individual that he loves in such the condition that he was in, he felt bad for him.
Jakotsu nods in response as he places both of his hands in his lap. Naraku had also allowed him to have his hands and feet uncuffed while he ate his first meal in a long time.
"Why are you in such a good mood?" Jakotsu timidly asks.
"Your brother gave us some information that we needed in order to take your brothers down," Naraku says as he places a folder on the table before sitting on it. He tilts his head as he stares at Jakotsu's dirty and bruised face. He had a scratch over his left temple. 'He needs medical attention.'
"Which one was it? I bet it was Suikotsu, wasn't it?"
"Correct."
"And what did you offer him in exchange for it?"
"A lighter sentence when caught."
Jakotsu nods as Naraku leans over and runs his thumb over the scratch on his forehead. He closes his eyes at the touch. This was the first time that Naraku had gently touched him in months. He cautiously raises his dirty hand and places it on Naraku's cheek. Naraku looks up at him with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry," Naraku mumbles.
Jakotsu gives him a gently smile before telling him: "I am too."
Before Naraku realized it, Jakotsu had placed his lips against his. He sighs before kissing back. He places both of his hands on Jakotsu's face and deepens the kiss. Jakotsu opens his mouth, allowing Naraku's tongue to snake its way inside, however, when their tongues touched, Naraku's eyes widen in realization. He quickly stands up and pushes a shock Jakotsu away from him.
"What the-"
"Stop it!" Naraku exclaims. "You can't do that. We can't do that!"
"Nar-"
"You can't kiss me and hope what I had for you comes back."
"I didn't think that," Jakotsu defends. "I know that your feelings for me are still there. I know that you still love me, just like how I sti-"
"Your brother will be here tomorrow at 3 for thirty minutes. No longer, no less," Naraku snaps as he grabs the vanilla folder off the table and stomps out the room. He throws the door open, revealing Sota standing on the other side. Jakotsu sighs and looks at Sota who gives him a nod before grabbing the door and closing it behind him.
Naraku marches down the hall, opens the door at the end of the hallway, and rushes inside; he slams it shut behind him. He throws the folder on the door before leaning against the door and sliding down. He places his hands over his face and lets out a sad sigh as tears form in his eyes. However, he refuses to let them fall; he wasn't a coward.
He sighs while leaning his head back. "Why?"
"Why?" He repeats as he bangs his head against the steel wall.
"Dad, I know you don't agree with me being who I am or Jakotsu but- "
"You're wrong," Makoto states as he leans back in his chair. "I love you regardless of who you like. You could have green skin and blue hair and I would still love you because you are my son, my flesh and blood."
Naraku smirks at his father in response. "Thanks."
"However," Makoto states causing Naraku's smile to turn into a frown.
"What is it?"
"It's your boyfriend Jakotsu," Makoto says with a frown. He leans over, opens the draw next to him, pulls out a folder, and throws it onto the table. Naraku gets off the couch and walks towards his father's desk. He opens the vanilla folder and looks through the documents and photos.
Makoto watches his son's face transform from shock to horror.
"Impossible, he couldn't have, I would have known," Naraku whispers as he continues to look through the pictures and documents. Makoto sighs as stands up and places a hand on his shoulder.
"Your boyfriend, is part of the terrorist group, The Band of Seven. The group themselves have been known for kidnapping, assassinations, murders, robberies, and stealing vital information from the government," Naraku tells him. "Naraku, I'm afraid to say it, but Jakotsu has been using you."
Knock! Knock!
"Na-Na, you in there?"
Naraku sighs as he stands up and opens the door, allowing his younger brother to enter the room as well.
"Hey," Sota says as he closes the door behind him.
Naraku doesn't say anything as he leans against the cold wall.
"I know it was hard for you-"
"Can we not talk about this right now?"
"Sure. Whatever you want," Sota says as he turns his back. He places his hand on the door handle and twist. He glances at his brother who's looking down at the ground.
"You good?"
"I will be, give me a minute."
Sota nods before walking out the room and closing the door behind him. He didn't know how his brother was feeling but knew that this was hurting him. To find out that the person you're in love with is lying to you hurts, especially when that person is lying about who they really are.
Sota sighs as he leans against the wall to the room that his brother is in. After discovering who Jakotsu was, their father had Naraku confront and arrest him. Afterwards, their father sent Naraku away to work on another case while he, Sota, kept on obtaining information about the Band of Seven.
His research concluded that the Band of Seven was responsible for over three dozen murders, twenty car and building bombings, and stealing of numerous files from government official. Overall, they were an organization build for destruction.
"Once we get all their names, it'll be a wrap; especially once we find out who's their leader and discover if they have a boss," Sota mumbles. Suikotsu refused to tell them the names of his brothers, he would only refer to them as numbers. He looks up as the door opens and Naraku walks out.
"Let's get to work," Naraku states as he closes the door and walks down the hallway.
"Aye Captain!" Sota shouts as he marches after him.
.
.
With Sesshomaru and Rin
Sesshomaru sighs as he opens the door to his bedroom. After Rin had snapped at him earlier, they barely saw each other for the rest of the day; other than when Rin stormed into their room to grab clothes for her outing. His eyes widen a little as he sees Rin sitting at his desk tying her hair into two braids.
"You're awake."
"And you're back," Rin says as she ties off the ends of her braids before standing up. Sesshomaru closes the door as she walks towards her side of the bed. However, before she can get in Sesshomaru grabs her arm.
"Sesshomaru what is it? I don't want to fight right now," she says while looking at her fiancé.
"Rin, I truly am sorry," he confessed. "I'm so stupid and should have realized how much important dates and events mean to not only you but us."
"Sesshomaru."
"No. I need to appreciate you more," Sesshomaru says as he gets in his knees in front of her. Rin silently grasps as he stares up at her as she stares down at him. "Rin, I love you," he says as he grabs her hands and place them on his cheeks. "I need to be the man that appreciates you, the one who treats you like his equal, his queen. So, starting right now, I'm going treat you like that."
"Sesshomaru," Rin slowly whispers as he turns his head and kiss her palm.
"Hmm?" He asks as he turns to face her, but instead, he kisses her stomach.
"Stop it," she whines as she grabs his ears and pulls him back.
"What Rin?" He asks as he looks up at her.
"Thank you," she says. "Thank you for understanding where I was coming from. Kami, I'm glad that you're my fiancé, that we're getting married-."
"Let's get married right now!" Sesshomaru exclaims with a grin.
"Sesshomaru!" Rin screams with laughter in her face. She shakes her head as she stares at the love of her life.
"Rin, I love you so much, I want the entire world to know it. I want them to see-"
"Sesshomaru," Rin interrupts as she covers his mouth. "Shut up and make love to me."
Sesshomaru grins behind her hand as he slowly stands up. Before Rin knew it, Sesshomaru had swept her off her feet and into his arms.
"With pleasure," he says as he walks to their bed. He sets her on it before climbing onto of her; Rin wraps her arms around his neck in response. He gives her a long passionate kiss before leaning back to catch their breath.
"Sesshomaru, I love you," she whispers as she moves her hand down his neck and shoulder and to his chest.
"And I love you, too, my Rin," Sesshomaru mumbles before bending down and sealing her lips again.
.
.
With Koga and Ayame
"Time for bed!" Ayame shouts as she closes the door to the bathroom. As she walks down the hallway, she spots Koga walking down the hallway as well.
"Hey," he says as she walks to her room that's across from his.
"Hi. Trouble sleeping?" Ayame asks as she stands in front of her door.
"Nah. The guys and I just got back," Koga tells her. Ayame nods as she turns to go to her room, but Koga calling her name stops her.
"Yes?" She responds as she turns to face.
Koga sighs as he runs a hand through his hair before saying. "This whole week, I've been thinking a lot about us and it made me realize how much that I still want and need you. Our break up, was a mistake. We're young and I was just afraid of the commitment we were about to get ourselves in."
Ayame continues to stare him as he takes a breath before continuing with his speech. "And since I got over my insecurities, I was hoping that we could, you know, get back together, pick up from where we left off."
Ayame stares at him with a smile on her face. "Well I'm glad you realized that."
Koga smirks at her comment and nods.
"However, while you were getting over your insecurities, I'm starting to get over mine as well. Koga, you hurt me when you said we should break up. You made me question myself and whether I was worth it."
"Aya, I'm sorry about that."
"And I know that," Ayame interjects. "However, it's unfair for you to build yourself to be a better person while I stay in the same state I'm in. I need to learn how to be by myself for a while. I need to realize my self-worth."
Koga nods at her confession.
"So, when I'm ready, we can give us a shot again," Ayame confidently states. Koga dumbly nods as he stares at his ex-girlfriend. Ayame smiles and nods before placing a hand on his cheek and giving him a kiss on the forehead before turning around and opening her door. "I do love you Koga, but I need to work on myself first."
"I love you too, Aya," Koga says as he walks towards her. He places a hand on her shoulder before bending down to give her a peck on the lips. They pull away from each other and smile at one another.
"Good night, Koga."
"Night," he mumbles as he watches her disappear the door and into her room.
.

The Next Day
With Kagome and Inuyasha
"Bye Auntie Sango!" Kazushi gushes as he wraps his arms around Sango's neck.
"Bye honey. I'm going to miss you," Sango says as she rubs his back.
"Kazushi, what did I tell you about yelling?" Inuyasha mumbles with a groan as he places a hand to his temple.
"Ignore your daddy, honey. Scream as loud as you want," Kagome says with a grin. Inuyasha groans again as he leans his head on Kagome's shoulder.
"Where's Miroku?"
"Throwing up in the bathroom," Sango states with a giggle. Kagome giggles as well.
"So does he know about-"
"Yeah. He knows. I told him last night," Sango interrupts with a huge smile on her face.
"I'm guessing by that smile that everything went fine," Kagome states as Inuyasha cuddles into her neck.
"Yes. Everything was amazing. He was so happy," Sango states as she places a hand on her cheek. "I'm happy."
"I'm glad," Kagome says. "Well, call me when you get back, go get a check up with a doctor."
Sango nods in response. Inuyasha groans as he turns his head to look at Kagome.
"What are you two talking about?" He mumbles.
"I'll tell you later," Kagome responds as she pats his cheek. Inuyasha sighs again as he closes his eyes. The girls laugh as they continue to talk until Miroku comes back and its' time to board.
Both of the couple give each other a hug. Sango and Miroku give their nephew an extra-long hug.
"When we play?" Kazushi asks as Kagome picks him up and balances him on her hip.
"When I get back, honey," Sango states as she grasps his wrist.
"Soon?" He asks with wide eyes.
"Maybe, okay. I'll call you when we get back home. Sounds good?"
Kazushi happily nods in responses causing Kagome and Sango to chuckle.
"Good boy," Sango says as she gives him a kiss on the cheek. Miroku ruffles his hair before picking up their bags.
"Say bye-bye Aunt Sango and Aunt Miroku," Kagome whispers into Kazushi's ear.
"Bye-Bye!" Kazushi shouts as he waves his hand. Sango and Miroku wave back before continuing their journey to the check-in counter.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom. Be right back," Inuyasha states as he gives Kagome a kiss on the cheek before walking away.
Kagome nods before walking to take a seat in the waiting area. Just as she bends down, someone taps her shoulder. She turns around and a smile forms on her face.
"Hi stranger! I haven't seen you in a long time," she says.
.
.
With Suikotsu
Suikotsu quickly looks around Bankotsu's office before walking inside and closing the door behind him. He quickly walks towards his desk and starts looking through folders; Naraku wanted the name of their boss. He continues to look through the stacks of papers.
"There's nothing," he snaps as he throws a folder on the desk. As he does that, a piece of a paper blows across the table. He picks up the paper and reads it, it was a set of number, a phone number to be exact. He quickly takes a picture of it before rearranging the desk to how it was before he messed it up. As he was putting a folder into a drawer; the door starts to open. He freezes.
'Bankotsu's not supposed to be back until later. And everyone else left, who could this be?' He thinks as he pulls out his gun and points it towards the door.
"Who the he-" he starts to say as the door opens fully and the individual walks inside.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Suikotsu."
.
.
With Inuyasha
"I'm never going drinking with the guys again," Inuyasha mumbles as he throws water onto his face. After drying his face, he walks out the bathroom. After this, he and Kagome had a doctor's appointment and were planning on looking at a house a few miles away from his parents' house. He looks around the crowded airport and sees Kagome talking to a man in the waiting area.
'Who is he?' he thinks as he makes his way towards them.
"I'm back," Inuyasha says as he stops to stand next to Kagome. He gives her a kiss on the cheek before turning to face the man she was having a conversation with. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Inuyasha asks as he looks between Kagome and the man she's talking to. Kagome stiffens a little as she turns to look at Inuyasha. She gives him a smile, causing her husband to raise a brow.
"Daddy, I saw a puppy," Kazushi gushes as he looks over his mother's shoulder to stare at him.
"Really? What kind was it?" Inuyasha asks with false excitement it his voice.
"White! It was really big!"
"Really?" Inuyasha asks in false shock as he wraps his arm around Kagome's waist, pulling her hip to his.
"Hey, hunny," Kagome finally says.
"Hmmm," he hums as he kisses the top of her head. "Who's this, sweetie?"
Kagome raises a brow at his pet name before opening her mouth and stating: "Well this is-"
"I'm Hojo Atiko," Hojo says as he holds out his hand. Inuyasha nods and bends down to shake it. "Kagome and I used to be engaged."
"It was arranged by our grandparents," Kagome pops in.
"Oh really?" Inuyasha says as he continues to shake Hojo's hand.
"Yes. We were two peas in a pot as they say," Hojo jokes. "I actually thought we would go all the way, you know?"
Inuyasha lets out a forced laugh as he continues to shake Hojo's hand. He adds pressure to it as he continues to shake it.
"Haha, you're too much Hojo," Kagome says with a smile as she rocks Kazushi. "We were close. However, this guy over here decided to become a computer geek for the CIA in France."
"Kagz, you're embarrassing me," Hojo tells her with a chuckle. "But yeah, what we had some good times, but at the end of the day we decided to just be friends," Hojo states. "I'm sorry. I'm talking too much. I didn't even ask what's your relationship with Kagome."
"I'm her husband and the father of her children," he says with a forced smile. "It's nice to meet you."
.
.
With Kikyo
Kikyo sighs as she sits up in the messy bed. Her hair is placed over her right bare shoulder as she looks around the room.
After she had knocked on Bankotsu's apartment last night, he had made her some tea and allowed her to vent about all her problems. Their sentimental conversation turned into a passionate night that left her with the current smile on her face. She lets out another sigh before looking around the room for some type of clothing. She spots Bankotsu's white t- shirt and quickly slips it on.
"Where is Bankotsu?" She asks herself as she walks into the bathroom and doesn't see him in there. She turns around, walks out the bathroom and bedroom, and down the hall. She pauses as she passes by a room where she hears her lover's heated voice. She looks through the small gap of the door and sees Bankotsu's back turned towards her.
'I'll surprise him, maybe we can start round two,' Kikyo thinks with a grin as she quietly opens the door and walks into the small office.
"I want Kagome! Dead or alive! At this point, it doesn't matter," Bankotsu snaps into the phone.
"Bankotsu?"
Bankotsu turns around and his eyes widen in shock.
"Kikyo."
.
.
.
A/N:
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Kikyo just found out the truth! What will she do with this information? Will she tell everyone or keep it to herself? How will Bankotus react? Why was Bankotsu so upset? Will she even have a chance to tell anyone; will Bankotsu kill her on the spot?
And what all is Suikotsu telling Sota and Naraku? Who's the person who walked into Bankotsu's office? A traitor? One of his brothers? Looks like Inuyasha is getting a taste of how Kagome felt towards Kikyo. ^0^.
So many questions that will be answered soon. ^-^
