"What?" Kagome Higurashi sat in her office in a stunned state barely aware of the explanation she was getting from her best friend.
"Their plane crashed," The woman watched her with sympathy. "I'm so sorry, Kagome..."
"H-how?" Kagome's brain was filled with questions.
"The plane exploded a few moments after it took off." She fidgeted a little and Kagome took notice.
"Sango, what's wrong?" Kagome didn't think it could be worse, she just found out her parents died.
"Well... The investegators suggest there might have been a bomb on the plane."
Kagome's skin paled, "But I was going to be on the plane with them, too. If I hadn't been with..."
Sango gave Kagome a pitiful look, "That's why they said that. They also think it could have something to do with Takahashi Industries."
Kagome was confused what did they have anything to do with this? "Why is it they think that?"
"Don't you realize what day it is?"
Kagome glanced at her calander, then back at Sango, "What so special about today?"
"It's been two years since Sesshoumaru Takahashi was murdered," Sango said, amazed she had forgotten. "Exactly two years."
Kagome's head fell into her open palm, "Oh kami-sama..."

"Do you know how much of a problem this?!" A man with his black hair in a small ponytail near his neck watched his friend scream at his secratary with an amused smile.
The young girl in the office was visibly shaking under her employer's hard glare, "Y-y-yes, Takahashi-sama."
"What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't just go out there and say, 'Oh, it's just a coincidence'!!"
The girl flinched and was about to try to answer him before someone cut in, "Maybe you should stop asking your secretaries for advice, then maybe you could keep one for more than a month."
Inuyasha stopped his screaming to glare at his friend, "What do you want?"
The man moved from his spot in the doorway, "Oh, just to talk."
Inuyasha looked down at some papers on his desk, "Too bad, I'm busy."
"That's a shame, it's about Kagome," He turned around started back out the door. "I mean for once SHE'S the one asking to talk to you..."
Inuyasha looked up at the sound of the name, "What are you talking about? Hey! Miroku, come back!"
A smile that showed through his violet eyes appeared on his face but as he turned around, Miroku made sure to wipe it off. "Well, I was just at her office and though she's not exactly at her best, she says you two need to talk about this."
Inuyasha raised an interested eyebrow.
"She also said that since she knows you so well you're probably screaming at your poor secretaries about things they shouldn't know considering you're such a terrible businessman."
Inuyasha gave him a flat look, "And I know her well enough to see that you're lying through your teeth."
Miroku sighed, "Okay, so she didn't say all those things about your decisions in the company, but she DID say that you two needed to talk."
"About?"
"I'm not the only one who knows that you scream at the nearest inanimate object when you have no idea what to do."
"She's a living person."
"Not very lively when she thinks her job is at stake," Miroku nodded at the still shaking girl.
Inuyasha barely glanced at the girl before covering his face with a clawed hand, "Ayumi, get back to work."
She nodded quickly and darted out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Miroku raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha and asked, "Is it that bad?"
Inuyasha glared at him, "What do you think, Houshi?"
"Sorry."
"When does she want to talk?" Inuyasha sighed as he began putting papers back on the desk.
"Now."
Inuyasha's hand stopped in mid-air before he asked, "What do you mean now?"
"Exactly that," Miroku smiled at him. "Actually, you were supposed to meet her in one of the board rooms five minutes ago."
"And you couldn't say that before?!"
"You said you were busy."
Inuyasha decided to leave the room before he was accused of another murder...

"No."
"But it was your parents wishes-"
"No."
"Do you want the companies to be destroyed?"
"No."
"So why not?"
"No!" They'd been going on like this for the last hour, and it seemed they weren't getting anywhere. Inuyasha and Kagome sat in chairs opposite of each other, their best friends trying to persuade them into an 'easy' agreement. After a hour long talk, a lawyer walked into the room with a briefcase full with only a few papers. Soon the lawyer was running out of the room, fearing for his life and the two tempermental people inside.
"I am not marrying her!"
"And I'm not marrying him!"
A nerve above Sango's eyebrow ticked and considering she had been calmly telling them that it was for the best for so long, they just wouldn't listen. So in a blink of an eye her fists were curled up on the table and she was screaming, "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WANT TO DO! THERE ISN'T A CHOICE IN THE MATTER!!"
"Sango."
"Yes, Miroku?" She asked stiffly.
"Deep breath in, then out..." He watched her slowly relax and shook his head softly.
"Wait... What do you mean 'no choice'?" Kagome's face showed her confusion.
"What Sango means is..." Miroku paused trying to find the right words before some else decided to start screaming. "After Inuyasha's parents died, Kagome's parents realized that if anything happened to them, something would need to happen between you two."
"So, knowing that you two would never settle your differences like adults," Sango interjected. "They thought it be best that you were to be married, that way even if you two are having personal problems, the companies will be joint so you wouldn't be able to use that against each other."
"But if you haven't noticed, they companies were working together since before Sesshoumaru was murdered!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Well, if you would listen, dog boy, you would see what we're getting at!"
"Yes, but it was obvious that one day you two would have to take over the businesses. Don't you realize you would have been married even if both of your parents were still alive."
"I think we need to talk more about this..." All attention was now drawn to Kagome.
"I agree, I doubt-"
"No," Kagome interrupted Miroku. "I think Inuyasha and I need to talk about this." She stood and started out the room.
"Why?" Inuyasha asked as he began to follow her.
"Because, we do." She pushed him into an elevator and soon they were out of th building, headed towards a bar.
