After April had introduced Kagome and Inuyasha to everyone they picked up
their bags and went to the parking arcade. Everyone had brought their own
cars but they were all small and cramped so April decided it be best if the
three of them sat in the back of a pickup truck.
They sped out of the city and down the highway. Inuyasha would stick his head up over the roof of the pickup to feel the wind on his face but scrunched up his nose at the smell of exhaust fumes.
"Why does this time smell so bad?" He sat back down in the corner of the pickup.
"It's fumes and stuff like that Inuyasha. You wouldn't understand." Kagome looked at him and saw the curiosity in his eyes. She couldn't help but laugh at him; he looked like a little puppy, even with the baseball cap that covered his ears.
"Oi, what you laughing at wrench?" He demanded.
"Nothing." She smiled to her self. The cold was beginning to inch its way through Kagome's blouse that she had changed into on the plane. She closed her eyes and leaned back shivering ever so slightly. Her eyes snapped open when she felt two strong arms pull her into a warm embrace. She tilted her head back to look into Inuyasha's golden eyes. He pulled her onto his lap, and held her tightly.
"You're going to get sick, wrench." He laid back and closed his eyes. To his surprise Kagome leaned into him more, mumbling a soft Thank-you.
April held her laughter in. They looked adorable, contentment on both of their faces. About time, She thought.
The pickup truck drove off the smooth highway and rode down a bumpy country road. Over the horizon a large house appeared. It was massive. The lawn was well kept of with a driveway the wrapped around the front yard.
"It's beautiful," Kagome said from beside April.
"Well when it comes to houses and anything expensive, Shippo never settles for anything less than perfect."
The pickup turned into the large driveway, and maids, servants, cooks and many other people came out to greet their guests. They grabbed their bags and dragged them inside. A butler came up to them and bowed.
"Hello, milady. Choose which ever rooms you would like and we shall prepare them for you. Supper will be served at six."
"Thank-you" April nodded her head and took Kagome and Inuyasha up the huge flight of stairs. "Okay, Let's see. Perfect! Kagome I think you would like this room."
April flung the doors open and Kagome walked in. The room had different shades of pink and purples and had a second floor to it. The bottom floor had few windows but a huge TV and chairs with a dining room. The second floor was surrounded by huge windows and had a huge bed in the middle of the room. There was also a bathroom with the similar style as the rest of the rooms. It could have been mistaken for a small apartment.
"I love it," She whispered still looking at the room.
"Good! Now Inuyasha your room is right next to hers," April tugged him out of Kagome's room and into a room exactly like hers; only it was blue with red accents and had a small gym in the corner.
"If you two have any questions ask a butler or maid or something cause I have to go deal with some business for Shippo. Be back soon."
April ran down the hallway and out the front door leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone.
"So..." Inuyasha directed his sight somewhere else, trying to make any eye contact with Kagome.
"I saw some CDs in my room lets have a look!" Kagome exclaimed grabbing Inuyasha's hand dragging him into the large room. The close contact made Inuyasha blush and he dipped his head so she couldn't see.
"Aha!" She let his hand go and sat next to a extremely tall self lined with CDs. She pulled out one and went over to the stereo. Inuyasha peered over her shoulder curiosity painted on his face. "Would you look at this it has English and Japanese settings."
She turned on the stereo and a soft beat emitted from it. Inuyasha looked at it curiously.
"Don't worry it won't hurt you, just... just listen to it." Kagome sat down on the coach and Inuyasha followed suit.
* When you feel all alone*
*And the world has turned its back on you*
*Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart*
*I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you*
*It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold*
*When darkness is upon your door*
*And you feel like you can't take anymore*
Kagome tugged on Inuyasha's haori and stood up holding out her free hand.
"Would you like to dance?" She asked blushing slightly.
"I don't want to."
"Please?"
"I don't... I don't know how."
"I'll teach you." She tugged him up onto his feet. She put his hands on her hips and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Just do as I do." She directed softly as she swayed side-to-side laying her head on his chest.
*Let me be the one you call*
*If you jump I'll break your fall*
*Lift you up and fly away with you into the night*
*If you need to fall apart*
*I can mend a broken heart*
*If you need to crash then crash and burn*
*You're not alone*
The song reminded Inuyasha about himself. He looked down at Kagome, her eyes closed. He didn't want this moment to end. He relaxed as he looked at her more. Growing more courage he wrapped his arms around her instead of letting them rest on her hips.
*When you feel all alone*
*And a loyal friend is hard to find*
*You're caught in a one way street*
*With the monsters in your head*
*When hopes and dreams are far away and*
*You feel like you can't face the day*
Kagome closed her eyes tightly and leaned into Inuyasha. This moment was perfect being in the arms of the man that stole her heart. Yes this was perfect.
*Let me be the one you call*
*If you jump I'll break your fall*
*Lift you up and fly away with you into the night*
*If you need to fall apart*
*I can mend a broken heart*
*If you need to crash then crash and burn*
*You're not alone*
*Because there has always been heartache and pain*
*And when it's over you'll breathe again*
*You'll breathe again*
Inuyasha's head rested on top of Kagome's head and inhaled her scent. The smell of sakura lifted his spirit and calmed his nerves. Never would he of thought that Kagome Higurashi would be this close to him.
*When you feel all alone*
*And the world has turned its back on you*
*Give me a moment please*
*To tame your wild, wild heart*
Kagome felt his head on top of hers and his chest expand, as he smelled her. She followed suit and inhaled his scent. He smelt pretty good for all she could tell for she didn't have super smell as Inuyasha did. He smelt like the forest, not like the dirt and mud, but the sweet smell of pine and wild flowers.
*Let me be the one you call*
*If you jump I'll break your fall*
*Lift you up and fly away with you into the night*
*If you need to fall apart*
*I can mend a broken heart*
*If you need to crash then crash and burn*
*You're not alone*
Even as the song ended they didn't part. They stood there clinging to each other. Inuyasha moved Kagome slightly away from him so he could look into her bluish gray eyes.
"Kagome I... I..." Inuyasha stuttered trying to find the words for how he felt. Kagome put her finger to his lips.
"Shhhh. Just hold me for a little long. Please Inuyasha." Kagome snuggled into him and Inuyasha held her tightly to his chest.
"Kagome. I have something I want to tell you." Inuyasha broke their contact once more.
"Inuyasha what is it?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha took her over to the couch and sat down, patting the fabric next to him to tell her to do the same.
"How long have we known each other?" He asked looking away.
"About a three years now. Why?" Kagome took his face in her hands so she look him in the eyes.
"Well over this year. I've well I've grown very fond of you." He looked her in the eyes. She looked slightly confused. "And well these feelings. Damn it I'm no good at these stupid emotions! Well what I'm trying to say Kagome is I...I...I love you." He squinted his eyes, waiting to be sat.
"Inuyasha." She whispered. She dove into his chest so fast that it knocked most of the air out of his lungs. "Oh Inuyasha! I love you too." Tears flowed down her cheeks, but these weren't tears of sadness but of happiness. Inuyasha took her hands and kneeled on the ground.
"This may be sudden and all but I want you to answer me truthfully." He looked into her eyes. They sparkled with happiness and life her smile could brighten the darkest of rooms. "Kagome Higurashi would be my mate." Kagome's face if it was possible changed from glee to pure happiness.
"Yes. Inuyasha I will be your mate." She exclaimed. His lips were warm when they reached her lips. It was full of passion as his tongue pushed through her lips and played with her own tongue making Kagome weak at the knees. Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and took her to the bed. There they fell asleep in each other's embrace.
April exited the building and hoped into the Silver Ferrari convertible (FERRARI F360 MODENA SPIDER F1 to be more precise). She drove down the driveway onto the dirt rode soon coming to the highway heading towards a small café where she was suppose to meet for some business that he could make to due to the fact that he wasn't in the same country.
She turned off the highway into the small town. The café that she was meeting his associate in was right in the middle of downtown. After a half hour of detours and one-way streets she turned into the parking lot of the small café.
A lady greeted her at the door of the café. "Can I help you ma'am?"
"Yes I have reservations for meeting an associate here."
"Ah yes he has arrived. Allow me to take you to your booth ma'am."
April followed the lady quietly, but when they made it to the table it was the last person she wanted to see. The lady saw the gazes between the two alone.
"April."
"Chrono."
"It's nice to see you here, I guess you're Shippo's companion?"
"Yes and why in hell are you his associate?"
"Hmmm. Merely business that's all. Okay it involves some very expensive delectable, that he owns and I want."
"Thought so. Filthy Bastard."
"April this is strictly on business terms not personal terms agreed. So will you sit down and disgust this matter like civilized beings."
April sat in the small booth feeling very uncomfortable at the close proximity.
"So what is your offer and what do you want."
"I want his estate in California. I am willing to pay 600 000 dollars." He rested his head on his crossed fingers.
"Is that all you wanted? Jeesh Shippo could of dealt with this over the phone."
"I also want all of its contents."
"What the hell do you take me for? A complete idiot? There are contents in that house that cost more than the house itself."
"Well?"
"We'll go to Shippo's house and call him from there." She stood up and turned towards the door. A smile flickered across Chrono's lips.
"Just to let you know I am not happy about this! One wrong move and I'll kill you!" She walked out the door and into her car. "Well hurry up I don't have all day!"
Chrono hopped into his Mercedes Benz (2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM) and followed April to Shippo's estate.
Kagome awoke in Inuyasha's arms. How good it felt to be in his strong embrace. She turned so she could look into his face. He had fallen into a deep slumber and he looked so peaceful. Kagome's hands went up to his ears and rubbed them. A deep purring came from his chest. Causing Kagome to giggle, like the little schoolgirl she was.
Inuyasha's eyes fluttered open.
"Good mourning." He said meekly, his voice full of fatigue. Kagome glanced at the clock, 12:30. They had been asleep for two hours.
"More like good afternoon." She answered back. His grasp loosened as he put his hands over his head and stretched, yawning letting Kagome to see his fangs.
"I think we should get up now." Kagome said sitting up.
"I don't wanna." Inuyasha whined.
"Oh come on you big puppy, you really don't want anyone to find us like this." She said getting up but Inuyasha grabbed her around the waist and dragged her back into bed.
"Let 'em. Let them all know that Kagome Higurashi is my mate!"
"Ah Inuyasha. Come on I'm hungry!" She exclaimed dashing off to the bathroom.
"Okay than." He gave in, smiling at his new mate. Sure it was sudden but o- well he didn't have to worry about Kagome leaving him anymore. He tugged on his jeans and went to his room to get some clean cloths and to let Kagome do her own thing.
Kagome shut the bathroom door behind her and slipped into the warm water. Her and Inuyasha... mates. That brought a smile to her lips. She stayed in the bath for 15 minutes before she forced herself out to get changed. She wore a light blue summer dress that hugged her upper body tightly but fell loosely to her knees when it reached her hips and a pair of light blue high heel sandals that tied up her calves. Her hair was back in a loose braid.
When she emerged from her room Inuyasha's mouth hung wide as he stared at her in awe. She was extremely beautiful, especially in the eyes of Inuyasha. He held his arm out o her and she took it gracefully. They walked downstairs and headed for the backdoor, but were intersected by their butler.
"I wouldn't go out there at this very moment if I were you." He said spreading his arms out in front of the large doors.
"And why not." Inuyasha questioned clearly annoyed at the man who had interfered with them.
"Milady is doing business." They looked at him questioningly, "Follow me."
They followed him into the large living room, which had windows that looked over the back yard. He pointed to a small table next to the large pool. And there April was sitting with a man in a tan coat and had black hair. Kagome gasped when she recognized the man. Inuyasha looked at her curiosity plastered his face.
"But why would she be doing business with Chrono?" Kagome asked the butler.
"It is defiantly not on her free will. From what I have gathered she is selling him one of Milord's estates." Kagome nodded, but poor Inuyasha was farther behind than when he started.
Kagome looked at him and said "Well I guess I'll explain." Kagome took him over to a couch and began talking about the whole 'April and Chrono' situation as she put it. She was almost finished when they heard yelling outside and they ran to the window.
"YOU SAID THIS WAS STRICTLY BUSINESS! WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK I - ME THE PERSON WHO HATES YOU MORE THAN ANYHING IN THIS WORLD, WOULD WANT TO DATE YOU!" She turned on her heel and ran into the house. Chrono ran after her.
"April wait, please." He yelled after her as they entered the house. The presence of Kagome and Inuyasha was oblivious to them.
"No! I won't wait anymore. I've waited for too long. I trusted you for too long. No Chrono, no more waiting." April turned to him, holding back her tears. She would not show him that he had broken her. "Why don't you go back to your fiancé!"
"But...But..." He stammered.
"Don't 'but' me! I know she isn't dead. Shippo did a little look in on it and you want to know something. She is feeling better than she ever has except for the fact that her fiancé left her and her child without so much as a goodbye!" She yelled. That one hurt, she could see it in his eyes.
"Oh but you don't understand. The child, guess what, not mine. And you want to know something else, her, that night I was drunk, her and I never had sex! We didn't even kiss or hold a hand!" He yelled at her. "So the reason I left without saying goodbye, was cause I was so pissed off when the real father told me what happened. I left that night knowing very well that, that lady took me from the woman I loved, the only woman I ever loved. So if you won't wait for me anymore, I am sorry."
April was speechless. What if it was a trick just another lie? She couldn't stand it anymore! Her knees gave out and she cried more than she had since he left her. The silent tears ran down her face and the sobs were heard from throughout the house. She felt two rough but gentle hands cup her face and rub the tears away.
"Don't cry April, I don't like it when you cry." He said his voice soothing and soft instead of the harsh voice that was yelling at her a moment ago.
"I'm not the woman you loved 3 years ago. She died along with my heart. Now you want me to forgive you! I forgave you when you told me you woke up in my best friend's bed or that she may be having your child. I forgave YOU. But I won't forgive you for leaving me for HER. Just leave okay! I'll call you about the offer on the estate." April turned on her heel and walked upstairs.
Chrono stood there for what seemed like hours. Finally his senses came beck to him and he pounded the wall.
"Damn Bitch! Why should I care?" He whispered and left the house.
Inuyasha and Kagome stood there in each other's arms. Never had they seen anything like that.
"I think I'll go talk to April." Kagome said looking up at Inuyasha.
"Okay."
Kagome walked into April's room which was exactly like hers only silver with blue accents.
"April." Kagome called quietly as she climbed the steps to the top floor. There on a heap of pillows and blankets was April, crying like the world was coming to an end. "Oh April, don't cry." Kagome ran over to her bed and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but...but..." April inhaled and exhaled harshly.
"It's okay. Inuyasha and I saw all of it. You know what we should go do something tonight like go site seeing or something." Kagome said bouncing up and down on the bed. April smiled.
"Hey what about a hockey game! Toronto Maple leafs and The Calgary Flames are suppose to be playing tonight and in order to get to the Saddle-dome we have to go down through downtown!" April exclaimed.
"Yeah that sounds like fun!"
That is it for this chapter everyone! Next time Inuyasha, Kagome and April go to the hockey game. FUN!
They sped out of the city and down the highway. Inuyasha would stick his head up over the roof of the pickup to feel the wind on his face but scrunched up his nose at the smell of exhaust fumes.
"Why does this time smell so bad?" He sat back down in the corner of the pickup.
"It's fumes and stuff like that Inuyasha. You wouldn't understand." Kagome looked at him and saw the curiosity in his eyes. She couldn't help but laugh at him; he looked like a little puppy, even with the baseball cap that covered his ears.

She tilted her head back to look into Inuyasha's golden eyes. He pulled her onto his lap, and held her tightly.
"You're going to get sick, wrench." He laid back and closed his eyes. To his surprise Kagome leaned into him more, mumbling a soft Thank-you.
April held her laughter in. They looked adorable, contentment on both of their faces. About time, She thought.
The pickup truck drove off the smooth highway and rode down a bumpy country road. Over the horizon a large house appeared. It was massive. The lawn was well kept of with a driveway the wrapped around the front yard.

"If you two have any questions ask a butler or maid or something cause I have to go deal with some business for Shippo. Be back soon."
April ran down the hallway and out the front door leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone.
"So..." Inuyasha directed his sight somewhere else, trying to make any eye contact with Kagome.
"I saw some CDs in my room lets have a look!" Kagome exclaimed grabbing Inuyasha's hand dragging him into the large room. The close contact made Inuyasha blush and he dipped his head so she couldn't see.
"Aha!" She let his hand go and sat next to a extremely tall self lined with CDs. She pulled out one and went over to the stereo. Inuyasha peered over her shoulder curiosity painted on his face. "Would you look at this it has English and Japanese settings."
She turned on the stereo and a soft beat emitted from it. Inuyasha looked at it curiously.
"Don't worry it won't hurt you, just... just listen to it." Kagome sat down on the coach and Inuyasha followed suit.
* When you feel all alone*
*And the world has turned its back on you*
*Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart*
*I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you*

"I don't... I don't know how."
"I'll teach you." She tugged him up onto his feet. She put his hands on her hips and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Just do as I do." She directed softly as she swayed side-to-side laying her head on his chest.
*Let me be the one you call*
*If you jump I'll break your fall*
*Lift you up and fly away with you into the night*
*If you need to fall apart*

Kagome looked at him and said "Well I guess I'll explain." Kagome took him over to a couch and began talking about the whole 'April and Chrono' situation as she put it. She was almost finished when they heard yelling outside and they ran to the window.
"YOU SAID THIS WAS STRICTLY BUSINESS! WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK I - ME THE PERSON WHO HATES YOU MORE THAN ANYHING IN THIS WORLD, WOULD WANT TO DATE YOU!" She turned on her heel and ran into the house. Chrono ran after her.
"April wait, please." He yelled after her as they entered the house. The presence of Kagome and Inuyasha was oblivious to them.
"No! I won't wait anymore. I've waited for too long. I trusted you for too long. No Chrono, no more waiting." April turned to him, holding back her tears. She would not show him that he had broken her. "Why don't you go back to your fiancé!"
"But...But..." He stammered.
"Don't 'but' me! I know she isn't dead. Shippo did a little look in on it and you want to know something. She is feeling better than she ever has except for the fact that her fiancé left her and her child without so much as a goodbye!" She yelled. That one hurt, she could see it in his eyes.
"Oh but you don't understand. The child, guess what, not mine. And you want to know something else, her, that night I was drunk, her and I never had sex! We didn't even kiss or hold a hand!" He yelled at her. "So the reason I left without saying goodbye, was cause I was so pissed off when the real father told me what happened. I left that night knowing very well that, that lady took me from the woman I loved, the only woman I ever loved. So if you won't wait for me anymore, I am sorry."
April was speechless. What if it was a trick just another lie? She couldn't stand it anymore! Her knees gave out and she cried more than she had since he left her. The silent tears ran down her face and the sobs were heard from throughout the house. She felt two rough but gentle hands cup her face and rub the tears away.
"Don't cry April, I don't like it when you cry." He said his voice soothing and soft instead of the harsh voice that was yelling at her a moment ago.
"I'm not the woman you loved 3 years ago. She died along with my heart. Now you want me to forgive you! I forgave you when you told me you woke up in my best friend's bed or that she may be having your child. I forgave YOU. But I won't forgive you for leaving me for HER. Just leave okay! I'll call you about the offer on the estate." April turned on her heel and walked upstairs.
Chrono stood there for what seemed like hours. Finally his senses came beck to him and he pounded the wall.
"Damn Bitch! Why should I care?" He whispered and left the house.
Inuyasha and Kagome stood there in each other's arms. Never had they seen anything like that.
"I think I'll go talk to April." Kagome said looking up at Inuyasha.
"Okay."
Kagome walked into April's room which was exactly like hers only silver with blue accents.
"April." Kagome called quietly as she climbed the steps to the top floor. There on a heap of pillows and blankets was April, crying like the world was coming to an end. "Oh April, don't cry." Kagome ran over to her bed and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but...but..." April inhaled and exhaled harshly.
"It's okay. Inuyasha and I saw all of it. You know what we should go do something tonight like go site seeing or something." Kagome said bouncing up and down on the bed. April smiled.
"Hey what about a hockey game! Toronto Maple leafs and The Calgary Flames are suppose to be playing tonight and in order to get to the Saddle-dome we have to go down through downtown!" April exclaimed.
"Yeah that sounds like fun!"
That is it for this chapter everyone! Next time Inuyasha, Kagome and April go to the hockey game. FUN!
