Chapter 3: Dinner Surprise ~*~The Next Night~*~
Kagome stood in the bathroom getting ready for the dinner. She was finishing up by putting on her earrings and jewelry. "Eiri, do you have that bottle of wine that I asked you to buy?" Kagome asked as she put the last earring in.
"Yeah, I put it on ice," Eiri said as he walked into the bathroom fixing his tie. Kagome turned to him and helped him fix his tie. "Are you nervous?"
"Of course," Kagome said shakily. Eiri smiled and took her hands into his own, leaning down and kissing the knuckles gently.
"Everything will be fine, Kagome. Relax, okay?" Eiri whispered as he kissed her forehead. Kagome nodded and gave him a quick chaste kiss. "Besides, you look gorgeous, as always."
His eyes trailed over her body. She wore a beautiful black dress that had ties for the straps and went down to her calves. She wore black heeled slippers and had diamond earrings and an elegant white gold necklace. Her hair was down and rested gently on her shoulders. Kagome smiled happily. "Thank you, and you look great too," Kagome said as she looked at his blue dress shirt, solid black tie, and black dress pants. Just then the phone rang. "I'll get it."
She walked into their bedroom and grabbed the phone from the night stand. "Hello...Uesugi Residence..."
"Kagome, it's Aya. Were you going to pick up the..."
"Shit. Yea, umm...I'll send Eiri over."
"Alright, good luck."
Kagome hung up the phone and sat on the bed massaging her temples. "You forget the dessert at Aya's?" Eiri asked as he came out of the bathroom. Kagome nodded and Eiri smiled. "I'll go run to her place . Your guests should be here soon anyway."
Kagome smiled and hugged him. "Thanks," She said happily. "I love you so much."
"I love you too, sweetie," He said kissing her quick after grabbing his car keys. "I'll be back in a few. Don't worry, sweetie, you'll be fine. They're going to love you."
"Thanks. Tell Aya thank you," Kagome said and watched him run out the door. Kagome sighed and finished setting the table. Just then the doorbell ran and Kagome ran over to answer it. She opened the door and froze. "Oh my god..."
Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha got out of the car and looked up at the apartment. They knew Kagome and her fiancee lived on the top floor because it took up the whole top floor. They walked in and rode the elevator to the top and stopped at the door. "Remember, Inu Yasha, she has a fiancee now...don't do anything stupid," Sesshomaru reminded. Inu Yasha nodded and knocked on the door. Within a few seconds, the door opened and he saw Kagome standing in front of him in a black dress that hugged her form just right. It went down to her calves...she just looked absolutely beautiful.
"Oh my god..." She gasped.
Inu Yasha stood in front of her dressed in a black suit with a blood red shirt and black tie. Next to him was Sesshomaru, who was in a black suit with a royal blue shirt and yellow tie. Kagome's jaw was hanging by the hinges as she stared at the brothers in disbelief. Finally reality seemed to kick in. "Wha...Wha..."
"Kagome, maybe we should come inside and explain," Sesshomaru suggested. Kagome nodded and let them in. She took their coats and hung them in the closet before turning towards them again.
"So, I'm assuming, Sesshomaru, you're Takamada?" Kagome asked. "Why!?"
"Kagome, we wanted to tell you, but we also didn't want to change the past and obviously fate brought us back together and..." Inu Yasha explained before freezing. He noticed that no one else was in the house and looked at her with a confused expression. "Where's your fiancee?"
"He went to my friend, Aya's to pick up the dessert," Kagome sighed. "Listen...don't mention any of this to him...he doesn't..."
"It's okay, Kagome. We won't say a thing. If he asks though, we met a few years ago and you dated Inu Yasha for half a year," Sesshomaru said. "You met at a school function."
"I see you still have everything planned out, Sesshomaru," Kagome spat. "Did you plan this? I mean back in Sengoku Jidai you try to kill me and now you take me as your intern!?"
"Kagome, you are more than qualified for this job," Sesshomaru assured her. "And I thought it would be a bonus that I knew who was working for me."
"You don't know me," Kagome spat just as they heard the rattling of keys and Eiri walked in with a chocolate souffle.
"Hey honey. Aya said it came out perfect," Eiri said as he set it down on the kitchen counter. Then he turned to their guests. "Hello."
"Eiri, guess what? I've met them before. Inu Yasha...a little more than once but still..."
"Really? That's great."
"Eiri, this is Sesshomaru Takamada, the C.E.O., and his younger half- brother, Inu Yasha Hitami. Inu Yasha...Sesshomaru...this is my fiancee, Eiri Uesugi, otherwise known as Yuki Eiri," Kagome introduced.
Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha stood up and shook his hand politely, even though Inu Yasha really didn't want to. "It's nice to meet you," They all greeted.
Eiri settled down next to Kagome and smiled. "Oh...wine...would you like any? Or something to drink?" Eiri asked jumping up again.
"Wine will be fine," Sesshomaru
said.
'Yes, that would be great," Inu Yasha said through clenched teeth, earning an elbow from Sesshomaru.
Eiri nodded, not noticing Inu Yasha's tension or Sesshomaru's elbow, and went to pour the wie. He came back and handed each of them a glass. Kagome watched as Eiri settled back down next to her and sighed. "So...how do you know, Kagome?" He asked curiously.
"Umm...Kagome and I dated a few years ago. I met her at a school dance," Inu Yasha said. "I introduced her to Sesshomaru a few times too."
"Oh, I see..." Eiri said.
"Well..how about some dinner?" Kagome said uneasily. They nodded and took their seats around the table.
~*~After dinner~*~
"Wow, Kagome. I definitely remember the ramen now. I don't think I ever realized how much I missed it," Inu Yasha sighed with content.
"It was delicious, Kagome," Sesshomaru said.
"Thanks," Kagomesaid in response.
"And that chocolate souffle...oh my god, Kagome..." Inu Yasha said. "So good!"
"I think my brother missed your cooking, Kagome," Sesshomaru pointed out. "You're a lucky guy, Eiri."
"Yeah...I am," Eiri said with a smile as he looked up at her. "So...what exactly will Kagome be doing at your office?"
"She will be doing first hand work with our financial department, employment, brainstorming...everythign," Sesshomaru said.
"And you're not required to work the extremely long hours like Sesshomaru does," Inu Yasha sdded.
Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru and smiled. 'You haven't changed a bit, Sesshomaru. You always put everything you've got into your work..." Kagome said catching a glint of sadness in his eyes, which was rare because he usually kept his emotionless mask in place.
"Well, Kagome," Sesshomaru said as he got to his feet. "Thank you for diner and for inviting us here. It was nice meeting you, Eiri."
"Yes, nice meeting ya," Inu Yasha said.
"Thank you for selecting Kagome. I'll get your coats," Eiri said and walked away.
Kagome turned to them and smiled. "Thank you for everything," she said.
"Anything for you, Kagome," Inu Yasha whispered so that she couldn't hear, but Sesshomaru did He smirked and walked over, kissing her cheek
"Monday...tomorrow...Inu Yasha will come by to pick you up," Sesshomaru said. "8 o'clock,ok?"
Kagome nodded as Eiri came back with their coats. He handed Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha's coats back to them and put his arms around Kagome, warning a growl from Inu Yasha. "Well thanks again, you two," Kagome said as she kissed Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru on the cheek. "I'll see you both tomorrow."
They nodded and left. Once the door was closed, she sighed with relief. "That went really well," Kagome said.
Eiri smiled and walked up to her brushing her hair out of her face. "Yes, it did," Eiri said and gave her a sweet, gentle kiss. "You mad a great impression on them...and I'm sure you made a good impression on them before now..."
Kagome pulled away and stared at him with surprise. "What?"
"Inu Yasha was eyeing you the whole time and I saw Sesshomaru trying not to stare," Eiri said.
"What are you implying? I didn't sleep with them...I'm still a virgin and I intend to be until we're married, "Kagome said. "You know that. I can't believe you're doubting me."
"Kagome..." Eiri began.
**What do you think? I hope it's okay. Please review and tell me how to make it better if you have any ideas...
