Hey all, it's me back with another chappy. J Oi! This one took some thinking really. Lol… I thought of a bunch of different idea's… maybe I'll put them in later. But I am not sure yet. Having a whole 13 hours of sleep since Thursday afternoon doesn't help much either.. URGH! I love my job and shift, but I have to admit, it's not always the best.. Well, anyways… for you my dear Inu-fan012 (I told you I would dedicate one to you back! LOL).

Disclaimer: I begged and begged and begged, but still, no ownership to Inuyasha.. L

Business Finished

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome who was sleeping comfortably in her bed which he'd just laid her down upon. What else was he going to do? Let her sleep in the passenger seat of her car? Especially with her mom and brother leaving the next day for San Diego with his father and brother on business. That would be real nice. He exited her room through the balcony window, and leaped on the treetops back to his own estate. He slipped through the unlocked glass door to his room, his sanctuary which was dark and inviting. He sniffed smelling something unfamiliar in his territory only to find his father sitting in the chair, waiting with a necklace of a sort in his hands.

"Inuyasha, so nice of you to come home." his father said dryly.

"I'm so glad that you're here to welcome me." he said rolling his eyes and turning on his light. His room was black with red trim. The carpeting black like the walls. It was his favorite shade, since it was technically not a color. He'd learned that in art class when he was in elementary school. He sat in the chair beside his father and looked with suspicion at his father, cocking his right eyebrow up.

"Why are you in here? What is that in your grasp?" he asked.

"I've come to tell you how proud I was of you for not showing your ass today in front of the Higurashi's." he replied, fidgeting a small bit with the necklace, which Inuyasha now had come to see that it was an old rosary of sorts.

"Is that so?"

"I also came to speak with you before I finished packing and retired for the night." he said, still fidgeting with the rosary. "Son, your mother left this with me, to place upon your neck on the eve of your 19th birthday. I will not be here tomorrow, and I feel bad about it. I made a promise to your mother that I would carry out her last wishes."

Inuyasha looked at his father quizzically and then at the rosary. "Okay? So, put it on me and leave. It's not like I care, you never seem to be here on any of my other birthday's."

"I want to explain to you, how it was explained to me in the note your mother left with it. You see, you mother always knew from the time that she conceived you that you would have an extraordinary love in your life. She was quite clairvoyant, and she had a little magical power. She put a spell on this rosary, before you were born. She knew you would be crass and rude. And that your words and strength could hurt the one you loved. The only person that can activate this rosary's power is one that was meant to be with you. How it's activated I don't know, what it does I do not know either. All I know is that she wished for me to give this to you." his fathered finished and placed it around his neck.

Inuyasha looked at the rosary on his neck then at his dad and busted out in laughter. "You've lost your mind father!" he struggled to get out.

"Inuyasha, look at me. This is indeed no joke." his father said, looking stern and serious.

Inuyasha looked at his fathers face and immediately stopped his laughter.

"I know I never seem to be there for you, but this is my job. I apologize. What have you planned for tomorrow?" he said, trying to lighten the mood. Inuyasha gripped the rosary around his neck, and wondered why his mother had done this. He barely heard the question that his father had asked him.

"Oh, I am taking Kagome around. Sango and Miroku are going to join me. We'll probably just hang out. I don't really care much for my birthday anyways. The only one I look forward to is my 21st, and we both know why that is." he said, his hands still grasping the rosary around his neck and gazing at it, and half laughing.

"Inu, I apologize for volunteering you to show her around, but upon meeting her, I had this feeling that the two of you would get along. Does she know about our family, about you? Did you two get along?" he asked with almost concern.

"She saw my ears," he began taking off his cap and tossing it on his bed, "she doesn't know what we are or what I am yet. I'm a little afraid to tell her, honestly. We get along for the most part. She likes to argue it seems. As soon as we went to go into the house, Miroku groped her, and she slapped both of us. I was angry at first, but now that I think of it, it was most amusing."

"Sango allowed him to grope her?" his father asked bewildered.

"She told him, if he helped us she would allow one grope on Kagome. All he said after being slapped was that it was more then worth the pain of being slapped. Sango was laughing herself into tears. Kagome fumed, and yelled at him." he explained then laughed.

"Well, I hate to say this son, but I must be retiring for the night. We are taking Sota along with us to San Diego. Try to get along with her. You never know, you could be great friends. Happy Birthday son." his father said standing up and patting him on the shoulder.

Inuyasha watched as his father exited his room. 'I just wish, we would have more time to talk.' he thought a little disappointed that their conversation was already over.

'And he wonders why I can't stand him at times. Oh well.' he thought getting up and getting ready to crash out. He had another long day ahead of him. He hit the pillow and immediately fell into a troubled sleep, with frightening things in his dreams.

"Kikyo? What are you doing?!" he yelled to her.

Kikyo was standing there with a gun pointing it at his head in range and ready to fire. She cocked it back and readied her finger on the trigger. Naraku standing with his arm on her shoulder.

"Die, Inuyasha!" she said cold and full of hate.

As she began to pull the trigger, a girl screamed his name and came to the side. He wasn't able to get a glimpse of the girl.

"Sit Inuyasha!" the girl on the side yelled, the rosary on his neck began to glow and Inu fell flat on his face into the sand of Santa Monica's shore. The bullet just barely grazing him as he came down hard on the ground.

"Damn you girl! You will pay!" yelled Kikyo turning the gun at her and quickly shooting her in the chest.

"No! Kikyo! Why?!" he said running to the girl once the spell had worn off. He held her in his arms and looked down. Her face a blur.

"Just remember that I love you." the girl said and closed her eyes.

"No, wake up! Please, wake up!" he yelled shaking the lifeless girl in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks, "With out you I'm nothing!"

"Great. Execution style, and you have nothing more to live for." Kikyo's voice said behind his full of hate for the man she once said she loved and pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*

Inuyasha shot up in bed, the sweat dripping off of his forehead. It was too real, but he couldn't make out the person or what she said that made him fall to the ground. He went into his bathroom and splashed water in his face. 'What did that all mean? I haven't had a nightmare since mom died.' he thought. He dried his face and laid back down. After a few minutes he finally fell into a dreamless sleep.

Kagome had just finished getting dressed. Sango and Miroku were on the way to her house to pick her up and head to Inuyasha's. They told her that they would be going to the beach later that day and to wear a suit. She had her red and black striped bikini on under her black Dickies skants and black fitted punk 'Hello Kitty' tee. She slipped on her sandals, and got her backpack packed with a towel and a change of clothes. They told her to bring something nice to wear to a fancy restaurant. They had made arrangements for Inuyasha's birthday. She decided on a light black sundress with black flowers on it she had bought in Coney Island one summer. She had her bass out already. Inuyasha had laid it against her nightstand when he'd put her in her bed. She heard Miroku and Sango coming up the stairs.

They opened the door and before Miroku plopped down next to Sango on the bed she asked him to tote her bass amp to his Navigator. He did as he was told since Kagome asked in her sweetest voice and Sango gave him a death glare. He picked it up and carefully toted it down to the SUV. His baggy green and black board shorts looked like they were about to fall at any moment. He had a white tee with a Dead Kennedy's logo on it and sandals to go with it. Sango wore black board shorts and a green Happy Bunny shirt that said Bite Me and sandals.

"I like your shirt." Kagome said after Miroku went downstairs with her amp.

"Thanks, I like yours too." Sango answered.

"Hot topic?"

"Yeah, you?"

"yup." Kagome said and they laughed.

"So, why are you bringing your bass?"

"I felt bad because it's his birthday and I don't have anything for him. So I'm going to play for you guys."

"Cool, that's sweet. I can't wait to hear you sing. Don't feel bad. He doesn't really want to celebrate any of them except his 21st of course." she said.

"Well, you guys still got him something though, didn't you?"

"Well, yeah." Sango replied, laughed, and then continued, "you like Inu don't you?"

"He's an asshole, but yeah. I like him ok."

"No, I mean. Like, if he asked would you date him?" she said

"I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. Right now, though, as much as we argue, no I probably wouldn't. unless, of course, I had some control over him."

"Sometimes, no control is best. But with Inu, I definitely see your point. Well, lets get downstairs and go. " she said sighing, seeing that Kagome was ready to go with her bass and backpack on.

'Why would Sango ask me something like that? I don't think I like Inuyasha. He's such a pain in the neck! But he's so cute and sweet when they were driving in her vehicle. What do they know that I don't?' she wondered blindly and followed Sango downstairs.

"Earth to Kagome!" Sango said waving her hand in her face, waking her from her thoughts.

"Sorry. What?"

"What do you want to listen to?" she asked her.

"Here, put this in!" Kagome said handing Sango a CD from her back pack.

"Leftover Crack?" Sango wondered.

"I've heard of them. They are a weird band. Pretty good, but weird." Miroku said starting down the road.

"Well, it can't hurt to try something new." Sango said and popped it in.

Kagome sat back and sung along with Atheist Anthem. She believed in God, but was non denominational. She agreed about what they said about come of the churches. The thoughts about Inuyasha started forming in her mind again. Her quick conversation with Sango, the events of the last two days. She felt anxious to see Inuyasha for some reason. I guess it's because I'm going to play and sing for them. The song came to an end and she heard a slap from the front seat. Sango turned down the music and yelled at Miroku for groping her.

"I hate that Miroku, you know that! Why do you insist on being so childish and perverted!"

Kagome just laughed at her new friends from the backseat, and turned back to her thoughts. 'Why am I so nervous? I've never been nervous to play or sing in front of anyone. Why am I acting like this?' she thought looking down at her hands which were trembling.

***Hey there. Well, I hope you liked it. It's not really funny, I just had to put the wonderful rosary in here. I love it when Kagome sits Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: I can't believe that in a story where we're all punks you would give me that damn rosary! Do you know how much it hurts when she sits me?

I'm sorry.. It may be painful for you, but all of us fans love it.

Inuyasha: I'm going to get you for that.

Well, you have a couple of choices, 1. you deal with it, and you and Kagome get together in my story sooner; 2. I bring Kagome in and have her sit you right now; or 3. I let Kikyo win in this story. Which I really don't want to do. I hate that bitch. So?

Inuyasha: *grrrr*

Inuyasha, don't start that with me, or I'll bring Kagome in and have her sit you just to be mean.

Inuyasha: *gasps* you wouldn't!

Yes I would, you know I would.

Inuyasha: okay, I'll just deal, just don't let her sit me right away or right now.

I'll think about it.

Inuyasha: think about what?

Kagome: How did I get here?

Hey Kagome welcome, me and Inu were just talking about you..

Inuyasha: *shoots death glare at punkkagome*

Kagome: all good I hope!

But of course *smiles wickedly at Inuyasha* Are you going to be a good little puppy?

Inuyasha: *grrr* yes, and don't call me that, please!

Okay, I won't. *looks at a very confused Kagome* don't worry, I brought you here for back up.

Kagome: I see. *smiling evilly back at me*

Inuyasha: man… I'm in trouble.

Okay, well, until next time. J *~Ja~Ne ~*
