Disclaimer: I just got off the phone with my lawyer and he gave me good and bad news. Bad news: I don't own Inuyasha or any characters in this fic. Good news: My tuition isn't due until Monday...hey wait...that's not good news! I'm freaking broke!

Love's Stranger

Chapter 1: Unfinished Business

Inuyasha rolled over and looked at his wife while she slept. They had just moved into the house he had built for her, since he was a professional architect. Ever since they met, she loved watching the stars. He promised that he'd give them to her, and that he did. In their bedroom, the ceiling was replaced with glass, so she could have her stars whenever she wanted them. They had a three year old son, SaDontè, who was a little on the mischievous side, and they had been married for four years.

As mentioned before, Inuyasha was a successful architect, while his wife Kagome was a thriving webmaster. They were both 26, and were deeply in love. Their wedding had been a big one, with more than 200 guests. Today was the last that they had to share together before she went off to New York to design a site for one of her client companies.

Rubbing his finger against her cheek, she stirs and then opens her eyes. She smiles at him, and he kisses her softly.

"Morning love."

"Hey sweetie. Is SaDontè up yet?"

"Not that I know of."

"Good."

Just then a hyperactive boy runs in and jumps on his parent's bed, causing them to sit up.

"Mornin' sleepy heads! Rise and shine! I'm hungry!"

"You are?"

"Yeah mommy! Get up!"

"Okay, I'm up."

She gets up and puts her slippers on. SaDontè shoots his father an evil look and then goes back to jumping around his mother.

"Come on Dontè, let's go eat."

Extending her hand to her son, he takes it and they go downstairs. Getting up, Inuyasha slides one of his feet inside his slippers, but stops when he feels something gooey on his foot. Pulling it back out, he looks at the brown substance covering his toes and the bottom of his foot. Peanut Butter.

"SADONTE!"

Downstairs, SaDontè jumps at the sound of his father's voice. Kagome turns to her son shaking her head.

"Whut did you do to your father this time Dontè?"

SaDontè pouts and crosses his tiny arms.

"He shouldn't have made me eat dose veggies last nite."

Kagome kneels in front of her son.

"Listen here little boy, your father and I know what's best for you. If he says do something, then do it. You understand?"

"Yes mommy."

"Good."

She goes back to cooking while he sits at the table drawing. Noticing his quietness, she looks over at him.

"You're too quiet over there."

"I'm just drawin mommy."

"Dontè, I swear to God above, if you're drawing on my table again, I will put all your crayons in a pot, melt them down, and then mold the wax over your body so can't move."

With that, the little boy puts down his crayons and pushes them away. Inuyasha walks in and takes his seat across from his son, eyeing him.

"Hi daddy."

"Where'd ya get the peanut butter kid?"

"From your mama."

Both parents look at their son in disbelief.

"Kagome, did our son really just say that to me?"

"I think so."

Inuyasha gets up and grabs his son up by the shirt.

"Now, you wanna say that again?"

"I did daddy! I got it from her! Grandma gave it to me yesterday!"

"Oh...well why didn't ya just say so?"

He tosses his son up in the air and makes him laugh hysterically. Kagome just laughs and shakes her head. She sets two plates of food in front of them and they all sit down to eat. As soon as her back is turned, Dontè throws a forkful of eggs at his father. Never one to back down, Inuyasha flings a forkful right back. Hearing discreet giggles behind her, Kagome turns around to an eggy mess.

"Boys!"

After cleaning and dressing SaDontè, she goes downstairs to answer the door. It's her sister Kikiyo.

"Hey."

"Hey Kikiyo, come on in."

"Is my nephew ready yet?"

"Yeah, I just finished dressing him. Thanks so much for taking him for the day. Inuyasha and I really needed some time alone."

"No problem, I know what you mean. Anytime."

Inuyasha comes downstairs and sees them.

"Hey KiKi, ya ready for our lil demon?"

She laughs.

"Yeah, I'm ready."

"SaDontè, come down here and see ya auntie!"

Within seconds, SaDontè is flying down the stairs and into Kikiyo's arms.

"Hey auntie!"

"Hey Dontè, how are you?"

"I'm great! Can we go ta the park today?!"

"If you want. Go get your bag so we can go."

"Okay!"

He runs back upstairs and then comes down with his duffel bag.

"Bye mommy, bye daddy!"

"Wait a minute lil boy. Come here and gimme kiss."

He lets go of the doorknob and runs into his mother's arms, planting a big kiss on her cheek.

"I love you mommy."

"I love you too. Now do daddy."

SaDontè goes over and hugs his father.

"I love you daddy."

"You too. Now get outta here and have fun."

"Bye you two. Have fun, but don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"Whatever you say Kiki."

Kagome closes the door behind the two retreating forms and then turns to her husband. Without a word, he pushes her against the door and kisses her, making her moan. She pushes him to the floor and crawls on top of him. Kissing and touching each other, Kagome sits up and opens his shirt.

"Off with it Inu."

"Can we at least wait until our child is out of sight first?"

"No, I don't have much time before I leave."

She leans down and licks on his chest, paying special attention to his nipples. He groans in pleasure.

"I want to do as much as I can to you before I have to leave. I want something to remember you by for the week we'll be apart."

"Oh really? But first..."

Getting up, he suddenly lifts her off her feet and carries her to their bedroom upstairs. He looks her body over and smiles at her approvingly. He starts to make a trail of butterfly kisses down her throat.

"Inuyasha..."

"I have to treat you like the lady you are."

He slowly lowers himself onto her and she wraps her legs around his waist. Looking into her eyes, he leans down and captures her lips in a passionate kiss.

"Love, let's have another baby."

She looks up at him.

"Seriously? You want another baby?"

"Yeah, don't you?"

"Of course I do, let's do it."

"I love you Kagome."

"I love you too Inuyasha."

A/N: Yeah, so what? We all love Kurama/Kagome pairings, but trust me, this will turn into one. Just let the story roll on its merry lil course and we'll all be happier. As for reviews, go head and do it, but I must warn you: I don't dig flames, no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT Y'ALL. Naw, as a matter of fact, flame if you want, it'll give me something to laugh at. I got a co-writer on one of my other stories in progress that's a Flame Killer. Her name's Killa. You don't wanna meet her after throwing a flame, trust me. Thanks to erybody who has read this, or is gonna read this. Later.
