Well, after so much time off, here's chapter 8. Finally! LOL. Sorry everybody, but I've been madd busy. Life is getting crazier by the day for me. Oh yeah, one of the reviewers told me that I should get back to the romantics, so I'll do just that. Since this site doesn't allow certain things though, I'll post a clean version here and the lemon version at my site: Anime Haven. (not uploading until later tonight though) Just go to my author page on here and click for my homepage. Once you get there, you may need to click the Home link to refresh the page though. It's been acting crazy lately. So anyway, read and enjoy, you all deserve this.
Disclaimer: I own a car note that's late. I'm barely bout to own my car, so what makes you think I own any of the characters in this story?
Chapter 8: In A Perfect World
Kurama picks up the ringing phone in his office.
"Hello?"
"Dr. Youko, this is Inuyasha Keith."
"Hai, Ohayo Mr. Keith, how are you?"
"I'm alright, and you?"
"I'm doing fine. So tell me, did you ever find your wife?"
"Um…no, I didn't."
"Gomen."
"It's alright."
"So we are still on for the renovation this week, correct?"
"Yeah, I wus just confirming the time and dates. Starting this Sunday at noon, right?"
"Hai."
"Alright, and will somebody be in the house?"
"Just my daughter and the babysitter."
"Oh, you have a daughter?"
"Hai, DollyAnn is 5 months. The babysitter is always there because my wife Kari and I are away at work."
"You know, your house is similar to mine in a way."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I built the house I live in now for my wife as a wedding present. The skylight you want in your bedroom is the exact one I put in for her."
"It's becoming popular is it?"
"Yeah."
"That's why you are the best I see."
Inuyasha chuckles.
"Yes, so while Kari and I are away, you can work on the house."
"No problem Dr. Youko."
"Please, Kurama will suffice."
"Alright Kurama, then call me Inuyasha."
"Great then Inuyasha, I shall see you when I return from Tokyo on Monday then."

Sunday, Sango answers the front door and is face to chest with Inuyasha. She looks up just as he takes off his sunglasses, revealing his golden eyes. Sango forces herself to breathe and keep her cool as she lets him in.
"Mr. Keith, I've been expecting you."
"Please, just call me Inuyasha. And you are?"
"I'm the Youko's personal babysitter, Sango."
"My men are setting up outside, would you mind showing me to their bedroom?"
"Sure."
He follows her upstairs, noting how the house looks. When they get to the bedroom, he takes out his notepad and tape measure. He starts to measure the room and write on his pad. Sango stands there, trying her hardest to peel her eyes away from his butt.
"We'll be running in and outta here Miss, I hope you're alright with that."
"Oh, you're fine, I mean, it's fine!"
He turns to her then back to his work.
"Good."
Feeling rather embarrassed, she leaves the room. He was way outta her league anyway. He was 29, so there was no way he'd even want her, even if she was 21. Besides, he was probably still single because of his wife dying. Sighing, she takes DollyAnn and grabs some car keys. She heads out and misses the phone ringing.
"What am I falling all over him for when I have Hiei?"
She sighs.
"If only I could get the short retard to propose, then maybe I wouldn't have to fawn over other men."
"I heard that you baka."
Turning around, she lets her eyes come to rest on the short doctor leaning against his black Mustang parked in front of the house. He opens his eyes to meet hers.
"You know, you shouldn't speak out loud words that aren't meant to be heard by others."
"Who said that my words weren't meant to be heard you jerk?"
He shrugs.
"I don't believe that a woman such as you is ready for something such as marriage yet."
Sango narrows her eyes at him.
"Care to explain why not?"
"No."
He turns to get in his car.
"Then why don't you kiss off Hiei. I'm tired of being treated as a second class person to you. Go screw yourself for all I care."
Hiei stops and turns back to the woman who was currently putting his best friend's daughter in her car seat. It was always freakishly frightening how Sango was capable of keeping her cool whenever she was upset, save for that one time on the street in front of the bridal shop. Nevertheless, it was a scary trait. As he stands there contemplating what she just said, his eyes widen in realization.
"Did she just dump…me?"

Upstairs, Inuyasha looks at the phone ringing on the nightstand. The answering machine picks up.
"You've reached the Youko residence. We're not in at the moment, please leave a detailed message and we'll get rite back with you."
"Beep!"
That's the exact moment Inuyasha chose to turn off his drill to check his progress. The female voice he hears makes him freeze.
"Hey Sango, it's me, Kari. I just called to let you know that we made it here safely. We'll check back in later. Give Dolly a kiss for us please? Bye!"
She hangs up, but Inuyasha continues to stare at the phone.
"She sounds just like Kagome, but…"
He shakes his head and goes back to work.

In Tokyo, Kari and Kurama are sitting in the park under the Sakura trees. She's sitting in his lap and his hands are wrapped around her waist.
"This is so sweet of you Kurama."
"Happy anniversary koi."
He hands her a long flat box and she looks at him. Opening it, she gasps.
"Oh Kurama…"
There's a blue diamond platinum bracelet, necklace and earrings. She turns and kisses him. Noticing that she's crying, he wipes her tears.
"Don't cry kobito."
"I can't help it. My life has been nothing but perfect since I met you."
"That's because you're perfect."
They kiss again, but it's short lived, because Kurama pulls her to her feet.
"Come koi, let's go back to the hotel and celebrate the right way."
Kagome giggles and pulls him towards the street. Running at her fastest, she reaches the hotel entrance in no time and sprints pass the front desk. Once inside the elevator, she pushes the button for the Penthouse.
"Kagome…"
Said woman looks to her husband and tries to cover her fit of giggles she's about to have after seeing his flushed face.
"Oh I'm so sorry Kurama. Here, let me relax you."
She hits the emergency stop button and goes over to him, catching his lips in a fiery and passionate kiss. Taking control of the situation, Kurama pushes her against a wall a lifts her body to rest on a handrail. She breaks free of the kiss and licks his ear.
"In the elevator? Are you sure love?"
"Well you started it. I only want to finish it."
XXXXXXXXXXSORRY EDITED OUT AS A PRECAUTION!XXXXXXXX
As the elevator holding the two lovers finally starts up again and reaches the Penthouse level, the gold doors slide open silently to find a group of two men and a woman waiting. Kagome smiles brightly.
"Whoa, you guys might not want to use that elevator. It got stuck between floors and we were in there for an hour!"
"Yes, be extremely careful with that one."
The couple quickly makes their way to their suite while trying to hold back their laughter. Feeling complete, neither one had a doubt in their mind that their life was perfect.
Little did they know, their perfect life together was about to be turned upside down.
A/N: So I made this chapter a bit longer than the rest since I've been away so long. I also want to say that this story will be coming to an end in the next chapter or two. Yep, Inuyasha's in their house, so he's bound to find out, right? Who knows, this is Inuyasha we're talking about here. Dense as hell. No joking. I 'm leaving some events unanswered in this story though, like Sango and Hiei's relationship for example. Hmm, maybe I'll let her meet Shessy. Who knows? I do need a title for the sequel though. Inspire me readers! Thanks for the reviews!
