To my Reviewers: I enjoyed your reviews. I don't have much to say right now. But I thank the usual reviewers who have been reviewing since chapter one. Thanks a bunch. Oh and er...no the last chapter isn't how people get tested for pregnancy.
The stick up the butt was the "Man way" for testing.
The "Woman Way" is that the women go out and buy (basically it's a stick in a box) and pee on it. Then that stick tells you if you are pregnant or not. Yeah...basically...Sometimes it can be inaccurate, but now there are more accurate ones. –nods- Not that I ever needed one. Ew! No! I am a virgin, but you didn't need to know that....

As soon as they arrived all the girls awed at the decorations. The room so vast and high. There were six balconies and a great white chandelier at the very center of the ceiling. The food tables covered one side of the room. Couples were already dancing to the live orchestra.
"It's wonderful!" Kagome exclaimed. "The last one was nearly as big and great as this one!" She clung to Hojo's arm as he led her onto the dance floor.
Kouga offered his arm to the reluctant InuYasha. InuYasha was too busy looking at Hojo and Kagome, more or less, glaring. He felt a tug on his arm and noticed that Kouga wanted to dance. He growled lightly, but followed him onto the marble dance floor.
Miroku practically swept Sango off her feet. He picked her up slightly and then twirled around carrying her onto the dance floor. (That's Miroku for you, the perv)
Sesshoumaru glanced at Rashi. "Do you want to dance?" he asked, holding out his hand.
Rashi hesitated and looked at him and then to his hand. He withdrew his hand slight before she caught it. She smiled up at him, "Of course, Sesshoumaru-sama." She allowed him to lead her onto the dance floor. He took her hand in his and wrapped his other hand around her waist.
Rashi tensed. No one had ever been this close to her. She rested her free hand on his shoulder and together they moved across the dance floor, twirling around.
"Rashi-san, is something wrong? You've been acting differently," he asked as they danced.
"It's nothing," she replied with a smile, "I'm fine now."
"But there was something bugging you, correct?" he asked.
She sighed, her eyes giving in. "Yes. I was concerned about you and Kagura. I can't believe Kagura would do something like that."
"I didn't love her and she didn't love me. I am surprised we lasted for two years," Sesshoumaru stated. "It's time that we reveal that we don't love each other."
"Oh," she looked down. "So when did you realize you didn't love her?"
"When I realized I loved someone else," Sesshoumaru replied.
"Who's that?" she smiled up at him. "Someone I know?" Sesshoumaru was her friend, her fatherly figure, but why...why was a sense of jealously washing over her at the mention of someone he loved? Could it be possible...that she loved...Sesshoumaru? No! She couldn't! He probably loved someone older and more mature than she.
"Yes it is someone you know," he replied as the music stopped. "Would you like something to drink?"
"Yes, please," her throat was mildly dry. He led her over to the drink stand and got some ginger ale and handed it to her. She drank it gratefully. "So are you going to tell me who the lucky girl is? Eh?" She elbowed him.
"Later perhaps," Sesshoumaru replied with a smirk. "I want to make you twitch in your seat."
"But Fluffy!" Rashi used his nickname and his eye twitched. She smiled innocently at him. "Who is it? Can I guess?"
"Yes," he answered.
"Kagome?"
"No."
"Taka?"
"Ew no."
"Kagura?"
"No."
"Kikyou?"
"No."
"Hmm well I don't know anyone else besides...me." She looked up at him. She stiffened. "Is it me?"
"..." He took her by the hand and led her out onto the balcony. He leaned against the stonewall as he looked across the land. "Rashi...I have had an attraction to you since I met you. I just thought it was because you were so happy and joyful like Rin. I always have thought of you as my daughter until this evening when you came down wearing that dress. I realized that you were more than a daughter. You didn't look anything like my daughter. You looked like a beautiful woman. My woman. Early that day I realized I did love you, but I had to find out. So I drove down to see you and greeted your beauty. I do love you."
"..." Rashi stared at him, not knowing what to do. Emotions flew over her and she smiled wildly. She then burst out laughing. She had to hold her stomach as tears of laughter filled her eyes and she toppled over.
Sesshoumaru turned toward her and watched her laugh. "Is my love funny to you?"
"No..!" she gasped for air and wiped her eyes. "No! Not at all! You see...when I get overemotional I start laughing. I'm sorry." She stopped laughing, a few giggles escaping. Why did she have to go and burst out laughing? She had ruined the moment. She inwardly groaned. She cleared her throat. "Pretend that didn't happen."
She stepped forward and looked up at him. "Sesshoumaru-sama...I...I love you too. But I thought I would be stealing Kagura from you if I admitted I loved you. I knew I loved you, but I pushed that feeling aside because you were too much of a fatherly figure. But now...now I know that I love you truly. I truly do love you."
He relaxed. He had though she thought the whole idea of him loving her was funny or some sort of way telling him she didn't love him back. A sign of rejection. He lifted his hand and brushed it smoothly across her cheek. He brought her face up to his and leaned down to brush his lips softly against hers.
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him back. She deepened the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her fingers played with his white silk hair. She felt his arms snake around her waist, pulling her body closer to his. He pushed her slowly towards a wall and trapped her there.
Her back was pressed against the cold stone as Sesshoumaru hungrily kissed her in a fiery passion. His hands traveled around her back and then slid down, past her waist and onto her butt.
She then let her tongue slide out of her mouth, pressing against his lips, wanting to gain entrance. He happily granted her entrance and they had a war on tongues. She loved his taste, the way his body felt in her embrace and the way he smelled.
He released her lips from his only to receive a begging plea. He kissed her lips once more and then kissed her jaw line, working his soft kisses to the crevice of her neck.
"Sesshoumaru-sama," she breathed. "We should stop before we end up naked on the balcony."
He groaned slightly in protest as his tongue slid across her neck, enjoying her skin upon his tongue. He never kissed Kagura this way. He never kissed anyone this way or felt this fire burning. He felt her push slightly. He groaned again, telling her just one more minute. He then led his mouth to hers once more and pushed his lips against hers once more, enjoying her taste. He finally, forcefully stopped.
His lips parted from hers, leaving an inch between them. He breathed on her lips and then softly kissed her cheek. He then brought his hand up once more to cup her cheek. His golden eyes met with her brown eyes.
A teasing smile came across her face as he led her over to a bench. They both sat down. "You know what?" she asked in a teasing tone.
"What?" he asked with great curiosity.
"I still think it's a portable pillow," she then leaned on his fluff and snuggled her head into it.
"But it's not," he protested softly.
"To me it is," she replied with a smile as her eyes closed. "I love you Sesshoumaru."
"I love you too, Rashi-chan," he replied, kissing the top of her dark hair.

InuYasha stepped on Kouga's feet purposely every chance he got. He hid the smile every time Kouga winced. "Do you want to stop, Taka?" he asked.
"Why?" InuYasha asked, "I'm having fun."
"But you're stepping on my feet..." he pointed out.
"Oh am I? I'm sorry," InuYasha said and then stepped on it again.
Kouga let go of InuYasha. "I have a feeling you're doing that on purpose!"
"Finally your brain works," InuYasha replied. "Now you notice."
"Why are you being so rude? I have done nothing to you!" Kouga said.
"No but you took Sesshoumaru's wife away from him," InuYasha smirked. "And thus you will pay."
"What kind of bitch are you?"
"An angry one," he replied and grabbed Kouga and practically pressed him against his body, "Let's dance." And so the dance of pain had begun.
He stepped on Kouga's feet and Kouga tried to wriggle free, but InuYasha just pressed harder. With his free hand he kept digging his nails into Kouga's side. "Having fun?" InuYasha watched Kouga's painful expression.
"Let go!" Kouga yelled and InuYasha pushed him on the ground.
"How dare you cheat on me!" InuYasha acted. "How dare you!" He forced tears coming out of his eyes. "We had such passionate sex together! And to think I'm carrying your baby!" InuYasha forcefully sobbed harder.
"WHAT? I DIDN'T NOT EVEN KISS YOU!" Kouga protested.
"That's what you said to your other girlfriend! Our sex was soooo good!" InuYasha started laughing, though making it sound like he was sobbing. "You'd give our sex life away to that...that whore!!!" InuYasha stormed off and Kagome broke away from Hojo and ran after InuYasha.

Crisa Rei: Ahhh yes such a short chapter. But it was good, wasn't it? Especially the little make out scene. That was NOT a lemon. It was just an orange. Are there even oranges? You can't even make orange juice with this orange!
Here are my "citrus" ratings:
Orange: Mild Touching/Make outs
Lime: Lots of touching/Lots of making out
Lemon: SCORE!
