+The Forget-Me-Not Dinner+

Kagome watched as the junk president's two limousines made their way down her street and parked in front of her parent's mansion. Kagome closed her room curtains and then flung herself onto her bed.

Her father was here.did that mean she had to act like his daughter. After all, he was never like a father to her, just some guy with enough money and power to send shivers down people's back when they uttered his name. As far as she was concerned, she had no father.

It was 5 o'clock and dinner started in just an hour. Kagome had little time to kill. Soon Patricia would climb the stairs in a hurry and force her down the stairs like a rag doll. Then she would have to make nice with the bastards downstairs, as if she cared about all their wealth and esteem. She would rather sit on a cactus.

"Kagome! Get up! How can you lie down like this when the president of Tokyo, Inc. is downstairs?" Patricia yelled. She took Kagome's limp arm and threw her up easy.

"Oh right, the junk guy." Kagome muttered.

"What is the matter with you?"

"I'm just tired. Maybe I can skip this thing.Ms. Patricia, just tell them I'm sick.im dying! Anything! I just can't perform like my mother's little puppet tonight," Kagome begged. But Patricia ignored her plea and sent her out her room.

"Miss Kagome, you can do this. Don't worry. In a couple hours it'll be over. And besides," she said with a wink and nudge, "there's a handsome little boy there just your age. Your mother wants you to meet him."

Oh great, Kagome thought, just my luck. She slowly descended the winding steps and gradually made her way into the receiving room, where the royal family stood, boasting about their latest accomplishments-a yacht here, a mansion there, and a summer villa in France.

Kagome stood there for a moment until her own father looked up from his wine and noticed her standing idly by the podium. He stared at her for a second first and Kagome remembered her father in this man who was drinking the finest wine and wearing the best suit money had to offer. His eyes were still as gentle as ever.

"Kagome, my daughter! Come here, don't be shy!" he bellowed. He stood up and then turned to the guests, "this is my daughter Kagome. Isn't she beautiful?"

Kagome felt her cheeks blush and she calmly entered the room, reaching for her father's extended hand. She held it and he pushed her forward to the crowd sitting before him.

"Kagome, this is Mr. Chikara and his wife Madame Chikara." Kagome turned to the aging couple to her left. They reminded her of her own mother and father-proud, ruthless, and a little self-centered. Madame Chikara appeared to be an interesting lady with an air of cunning and arrogance. She smiled at Kagome and then sipped her glass of wine, thus revealing fingers filled with rings-diamond encrusted. It nearly blinded Kagome.

Then her father turned her direction to their lovely sons, who resembled so much of their parents. How precious.

"And these are their mighty handsome sons." Kagome faced them and was instantly greeted by one of their sons with a welcoming smile. Kagome brushed it off and focused her attention on her smiling sister who was being passionately embraced by her loving fiancé. Oh gag me out, Kagome thought, am I in hell?

"This is Sesshamoru, your sister's fiancé and this is their other son."

"Miss Kagome, allow me to introduce myself personally, my name is Kouga Tora Chikara," he said and then gently lifted her hand. He bent over and gently kissed it. Kagome, tore it away from his lips and yelled, "What the fu--"

"Kagome, you should introduce yourself as well," her mother yelled from behind her.

Kagome sighed and then muttered, "Hi, I'm Kagome Higarashi."

"Kagome, that's such a lovely name, its like the sound of a beautiful sparrow drifting in the breeze of--"
"Yeah, it's a great name. So, I guess, I'll be seeing you all." Kagome turned and tried to make a run for it but instead bumped into her angered mother. Damn, she couldn't make a run for it.

"Kagome, you can't leave until we've eaten..don't be so rude." she said bitterly. But, she quickly covered up her bitterness with a fake giggle and the crowd parted for dinner.

"Kagome, do me the honors by sitting next to me," Kouga said. Kagome was about to tell him to shove it up his ass when she felt her mother's glare and instead smiled and took his hand. --
"So, Kagome, what school do you go to?" Madame Chikara asked eagerly between sips of champagne.

Before Kagome got the chance to answer, her mother butted in and answered for her, "She goes to Yakosuko High School. A very prestigious school in our area. That is where Kikyo graduated from, first in her class." Kikyo and their mother exchanged a playful smile and shifted their attention towards Madame Chikara who was equally boasting about her two sons.

Kagome was relieved that dinner was over and she thankfully didn't trip over Kouga and ultimately creating a domino affect. Of course, Kagome wouldn't have been surprised if she had tripped over Kouga. He followed her like a wolf all throughout dinner, walking her to the kitchen when she needed another fork and even escorting her to the bathroom. She had tried to escape through the bathroom window but it was far too small. Damn..

Sadly, Kagome was forbidden to leave the guests until they had left. So, here she was now, face to face with wolf boy himself. He sat there grinning like a moron in front of her before opening his mouth and asking, "So, you have a boyfriend or what?"

"Excuse me?" Kagome asked.

"You know a boyfriend.they buy you stuff on holidays and kiss you good night."

"No, I don't.I mean."Kagome stopped talking and suddenly the clouds of heaven parted and she saw the light. It was magical.

"I mean, yeah I do..."

"Which one is it.yeah or no?"

"Yeah I do."

Kouga sat back and drank his wine, "Okay then, what's his name?" he asked.

Kagome turned white for a moment and searched deep within her memory vault for a name, any name. "His name is-is Inuyasha!" she yelled.

"Inuyasha? Hmmm.okay well I better find this Inuyasha and challenge him to a duel!" he proclaimed.

Kagome's heart ceased to pump. Her brain froze, as it always did in crisis situations. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, I have to challenge him if I want your hand as my wife."

Breathless, Kagome muttered, "Wife? Excuse me but no one is getting married but my sister and your brother.so if you don't mind--"

"No Kagome, I've claimed you as my woman and I am going to have you one way or another. And you know what I bet your parents wouldn't mind having me as their son," he said and turned to her folks who were goofily watching them from a distance with stars in their eyes.

Kagome turned to him rather confused and cocked her head to one side, trying to examine him. What had happened to 'Oh, my name is Kouga blah blah blah and I am honored to meet you.blah blah blah.?' She felt as though she was sitting with a completely different person.

"Kouga.so this is the real you?" Kagome asked smiling.

"In the flesh, my woman. Did you expect me to act like some weirdo prissy boy?" Kagome thought about that for a moment and nodded.

"So, what you say? You like the real Kouga Chikara?"

Kagome giggled and her parents took that as a sign of wedding bells. "I'd rather eat shit.or maybe you should eat shit."

"My woman, don't talk to me like that.treat your man with respect. Are you PMSing?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and turned away. The punk, she muttered.

"Let me buy you a diamond ring. Will that make you feel better?"

Kagome glared at her giggling mother. This was all her mother's doing. She wanted them married. She always got her way.
