From Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 8 – Heaven


Last time

Except for the ''like my stupid half-brother' part, when he had said he wasn't a heartless bastard, it had made her think. From that day, she started to think about him more. And the night of the play of Romeo and Juliet, it was definitely a turning point. When he had kissed her at their last scene, she had definitely felt something.

I even told him afterwards that it was my first kiss! I still can't believe I did that…

The morning when he helped her with her groceries came back to her too… He was so sweet then…

She realized just then that maybe she did like him and that was the reason why it hurt more than it should have when Kikyo said the hurtful things that night.

And now… After what happened the last twenty-four hours… She just realized… She's falling for him…

I…I think… I already have…
"Sango, I'm back!" Kagome called out when she stepped into the apartment. It seemed unusually quiet to her. Still exhausted from the night before, Kagome collapsed on the couch and decided to doze off for a bit.

Not a minute later, she heard the door close and the sound of footsteps coming nearer.

Kagome lifted her head and questioned, "Sango, is that you?" As soon as the words left her, the footsteps came faster and she was soon engulfed in a tight hug. "Kagome! Do you know how worried I was! I can't believe you were staying with INUYASHA of all people! And how could you hang up one me twice! Rin and I were…"

Kagome stopped her friend's rambling with a shake of her shoulders. "Sango, calm down! I'm all right. And I'm sorry for hanging up on you…"

The other girl sighed and joined the girl on the couch. "Where's Rin?" Sango was quiet for a moment before answering. "I think she's at a job interview… She didn't really tell me where it was though… I guess we'll find out when she gets back later." Kagome looked puzzled but didn't think hard on it.

The two girls sat in silence for a while until Sango broke it. "So…"

Kagome turned her head to her friend nervously. "So… What?" Please don't ask about Inuy…

Sango interrupted her thoughts. "So… Spill Kags! What happened at Inuyasha's?"

Kagome groaned inwardly. She knew she had to tell Sango everything because she always found out everything anyway. How, she will never know… Here we go… "Well… You see… Yesterday…"


Taisho Co.

"Miss Rin, if you'll just sit there, Mr. Taisho will be with you in a moment." The secretary said politely, pointing at the opposite direction. Rin nodded with a smile and walked to the nearest chair, thinking to herself. Taisho… Sesshomaru Taisho… Rin winced. Inuyasha's half-brother…

A small blush started to form as she continued to think her thoughts about the famous Sesshomaru Taisho.

I wonder if Kagome got home okay… Hope this interview won't take long…

"Miss Rin, Mr. Taisho is ready to see you now," the secretary called to her.

Rin stood up with confidence and strolled over to where her interview was being held; in his office. The doors closed behind her as she continued to walk towards the end of the room where a large desk sat.

The room was fairly spacious with a huge window that showed the view of the whole city in the back. Rin walked more until she got to the desk where Sesshomaru was.

She stood in front of the desk, not knowing what to do. Playing with her fingers, she was thinking. I wonder what I should do…

She didn't have to worry about her small problem when Sesshomaru spoke up first. Without even glancing up from this paperwork, he quietly said, "You may sit," gesturing towards the plump chair in front of his desk.

Rin's mouth formed an 'o' and immediately sat down as told. She looked around the room some more, not knowing what to say. She didn't notice when Sesshomaru finally glanced up at her.

The inu-youkai was surprised when he looked up to see the girl interviewing for a job at his company. He knew he had smelled a familiar smell from five years ago, but could not identify it specifically. Now he remembered. He suddenly smirked inwardly at the memory. This is that girl from that baka hanyou's high school play five years ago who kept looking back at me… Hm, should be interesting…

A few questions here and there later, Sesshomaru stood up and Rin followed suit. "Well I'm pleased to say Miss Rin, that you qualify for this job at Taisho Co." Sesshomaru stated politely.

Rin's eyes widened and excitement filled her. Forgetting where she was at the moment, she couldn't help but to squeal. Realizing exactly where she was however, she calmed herself down and apologized. "I'm sorry Mr. Taisho! I was just… Excited… I mean…"

Sesshomaru's normal cold façade lessened as his eyebrow quirked in amusement. "Quite all right Miss Rin. So would you be able to start tomorrow morning perhaps?"

Rin tried to keep her cool but nodded vigorously. "Yes! It's no problem at all; tomorrow is perfect! Thank you so much Mr. Taisho!"

This girl has so much energy in her… Probably sugar… "Yes, then I will see you tomorrow at seven o'clock sharp. Goodbye Miss Rin, and have a nice day."

Rin practically hopped away as she waved goodbye to the still amused youkai.

As Sesshomaru watched Rin bounce away, he couldn't help but to let a small corner of his lips curve up.


"…That's what happened." Kagome finished.

Sango stared at the other girl with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. "So… You and Inuyasha are… Friends now?"

"Sigh… Yes, Sango." Kagome replied. "And… He apologized for being a bastard in high school…" Kagome frowned a little but nodded anyway. "And… you like him don't you?" Kagome was about to reply yes until she caught onto what her friend was doing. "Sango! No, of course not! Well as a friend, yes… But you mean… Um…" A small blush started to rise as Kagome stuttered.

Sango smirked and crossed her arms. "Deny it all you want Kag, but I know you and I know you're gonna fess up sooner or later… So now, I'm gonna ask again… You're in love with that guy, right?"

Kagome stuttered some more. She was about to answer but was saved by footsteps coming their way. It was none other than Rin. "Kagome! You're back!" She latched herself to the poor unsuspected girl in a death hug. "I'm glad you're all right! Sango said you were staying with Inuyasha?" Rin let her go and noticed Sango's I-have-the-greatest-matchmaking-plan-in-the-world face and Kagome's I-know-Sango-is-up-to-no-good face. "Um… Is there something you guys need to tell me?"

Both girls shook their heads and saw Rin standing before them with a confused look on her face. Before Kagome go to speak first, Sango beat her to it. "Inuyasha and Kagome are friends now and Kagome's in love with him," Sango simply stated as if it was nothing. "SANGO! I AM NOT!"

Rin looked lost for a second before the words sunk into her. "Waitttt… You're in love with Inuyasha Taisho? The biggest jerk alive in history? The inu-hanyou with the hottest half-brother alive whom I'm officially working for now!"

Sango and Kagome followed with her until her last statement.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up Rin! Since when did you think Inuyasha's half-brother was hot? And since when do you work for him?" Sango demanded. Even Kagome had to quirk an eyebrow at that.

Rin blushed furiously and bowed her head. She chuckled slightly and sat down on the couch. "Well… You know that Romeo and Juliet play from high school?" At her friends' nods, she continued. "Well you know… I was watching Kagome and Inuyasha being all mushy—"

"Hey it was just acting Rin!" Kagome intervened. Sango and Rin both gave her looks that clearly said, 'Sure it was.' Kagome pouted and crossed her arms.

"As I was saying! When they were 'acting' I was looking around the auditorium… I don't know why… Just felt like it I guess. But yeah, I looked in the back and there was this guy who looked so familiar. He had Inuyasha's long, silver hair and had absolutely no emotion on his features at all. Hm, he also had these strange markings on his face… It was probably tattoos. Well that's when I realized he looked familiar because he was the owner of Taisho Co. and also Inuyasha's half-brother. He looked absolute handsome!" Rin stopped her story and started to daydream.

Kagome sweatdropped and Sango waved a hand in front of their friend's face.

Rin came back from cloud 9 and continued her story. "Oh! Well yeah… And today I went to a job interview… At Taisho Co. But before you guys say anything! It was NOT because of Sesshomaru! I've always wanted to work for a big company… And… This seemed like the right one…"

Sango gave her the 'yeah right' look and Kagome just smiled at her friend. "So what do you do there?" Kagome asked curiously.

Rin smiled big and answered, "You're looking at Sesshomaru Taisho's new personal assistant!"

"…"

"…"

Sango snapped out of the shock first. "You've GOT to be kidding me… That's SO awesome!" Rin stood up and squealed excitedly and Sango joined her. "I know! Isn't it amazing? Sesshomaru's personal assistant! Eeeek! I'm so excited!"

Kagome got over her shock and then plainly said with hidden amusement, "You act like you like him or something…" She smiled mischievously, knowing Sango would forget about her and Inuyasha.

Unfortunately, luck was not on her side. Rin turned red and stayed quiet, while Sango exclaimed, "And you're in love with that half-brother idiot of his Kag."

"I..I.. SANGO!"

"What?" Sango gave an innocent look, which did not faze Kagome at all.

"Oh Sango, we all know YOU like MIROKU." Rin blurted out. The words made Sango lose her breath and stutter. "Wh-what are you talking about Rin? Me? Like that pervert? When pigs fly!"

Kagome joined in on the teasing. "Oh come on Sango! We all know you've liked him since like forever. And EVERYONE knows he likes you too."

"Well then Inuyasha must like you too Kagome since he was being SO nice and he apologized for being a jerk and he wanted to be friends with you!"

Rin giggled. "I think that's enough girls! Let's not get so worked up! How about we go out for the night?"

Sango and Kagome nodded and called it truce. They knew they weren't really mad at each other. It was just normal teasing they did as if they were real sisters. "All right! Girls night out!" Rin shouted happily. But then again, when was she ever not happy? Sango and Kagome wondered about that.


At that moment elsewhere…

"Come on Inuyasha… It'll be fun! Besides, you just moved back here! We should go out for the night; go clubbing or something. We're bound to meet some lovely ladies there!"

Miroku begged the stubborn hanyou endlessly.

Inuyasha growled in annoyance and threw his hands up in the air. "ALL RIGHT FINE!" Miroku heard him mumbling something like "Damn annoying pervert…"

Miroku chuckled to himself, shaking his head. "Stop grumbling and pouting Inuyasha. You're not gonna regret this night!"


"So where did you have in mind Rin?" Sango asked the bubbly girl.

"Hmm… Well I was thinking we should go clubbing tonight! We haven't in forever!"

Sango and Kagome agreed and the three friends started to get ready. They still had a couple of hours.

When those couple of hours went by, they were ready to go clubbing for the night.

Sango drove while Kagome and Rin sat in the passenger seat and back seat. They arrived at the club, "Heaven." The three friends got out of the car and walked to the front doors. There was an incredibly long line and they were annoyed but got in line anyway.

"Agh, the lines are so long Sango! And I don't think I've ever been to this club before… Is it new?" Kagome asked her friend.

"Yeah, this is the newest club in town. Maybe there's another way we could get in without waiting in this long line…"

"But how?" Rin asked.

Sango held up her hand when she noticed a limousine driving towards the front doors. She smirked, a plan forming in her head. "Ladies, follow me. I got an idea…" Kagome and Rin looked unsure but followed their friend anyway when she started to walk away.


In the limousine, two figures were talking. Just as they opened the door to their right to go out, Kagome, Sango, and Rin sneaked into the limo through the other side. The two guys didn't notice as they got out of the limo.

Taking their chances, Kagome, Sango, Rin also scoot over to the other side and stepped out of the limo. Immediately, Kagome and Sango attached themselves to the two guys while Rin just hurried alongside them.


The guys were surprised when a girl linked her arm through theirs. It took a split second before all five of them realized exactly who was who.

"INUYASHA?"

"KAGOME?"

"Lovely Sango!"

SLAP! "PERVERT"

"Umm…"

"What are you doing here?" They all yelled at the same time.

Rin spoke up above everyone else. "Hey guys, umm, how about we talk about this when we get inside?"

Inuyasha and Miroku looked around them and agreed with her. They walked to the front doors and the bouncer let them in without questions. After all, Inuyasha is well known as the half-brother of the richest man in Japan.

As soon as the five of them got in, music blasted throughout the club and neon lights were exploded everywhere.

Rin shouted out loud first. "COME ON, LET'S GO FIND A TABLE!"

Before she ran off, Inuyasha stopped her. "NO NEED, WE GOT A PRIVATE TABLE HERE. JUST FOLLOW ME!" They had to shout because of the incredibly loud music. They heard Inuyasha nonetheless and followed him towards the upper level of the club. Their table was a VIP table and the seats were nice and cushiony. Even the music seemed less loud where they sat.

"So you wanna explain how you got out of the limousine after us?" Inuyasha asked with his arms crossed. He had a scowl on his face but Kagome noticed a look of amusement in his eyes. "It was Sango's idea!" Both Kagome and Rin shouted. Sango gave them a dark look. "Thanks a lot girls."

Miroku sat closer to Sango and slipped an arm around her shoulders. Sango looked at him suspiciously but stayed still. "Why my lovely Sango! Howdid you ladies get in the limousine anyway?"

"Well we got here about ten minutes before you guys… And the line was so long… And when we saw a limousine driving by, we decided to sneak in from the other side and come out with you guys so the bouncer would think we'd be with you. Thus, getting us into the club no problem without waiting in that monstrous line!"

Miroku chuckled. "Not bad… Not bad at all…"

SLAP!

"PERVERT!"

Sango immediately stood up and walked to sit between Rin and Kagome. Inuyasha laughed at his friend's misfortune. Kagome had to giggle at it too but mostly; it made her smile to hear Inuyasha laugh. When she looked at him, he caught her looking at him and they were lost in each other's stare.

The others noticed and silently agreed with a nod of their heads to slip out of the table.

Rin and Sango headed towards the bar for a drink while Miroku followed them like a lost puppy.

It wasn't until a while after their friends had left that Inuyasha and Kagome noticed that they were alone. A blush crept up to Kagome's cheek at the realization. Inuyasha turned slight pink at the thoughts running across his mind. He also noticed what she was wearing just then.

Kagome was wearing a red halter that exposed her belly button, revealing her pierced naval and a black mini skirt that reached mid-thigh. It hugged her curves just right and revealed her long legs. Finally, she had on matching black boots that was tight around her leg, almost reaching to her knees. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with a few strands hanging down to frame her face. Light, natural makeup was visible on her face and a small amount of jewelry.

Inuyasha couldn't help but to stare at her. Daamn… She's drop-dead gorgeous! He was surprised to see her naval pierced but found it sexy on her. When did she get her belly button pierced? It's HOT! His eyes traveled lower and he admired her nice, slim legs. He was starting to get turned on by just staring at her and almost whined.


Kagome was checking out Inuyasha, unaware that he was doing the same thing. Oh gosh… Inuyasha… He's hot… She blushed at the thought.

Inuyasha was wearing black, baggy jeans with a silver chain hanging off his pocket. He had on a tight red muscle shirt that showed off his muscles nicely. He wore a black button down shirt over the muscle shirt, teasing anyone staring at his abs. On top of his head, he wore a black bandana that covered his hanyou ears.

Kagome was almost drooling at the sight of him. It was then that Inuyasha noticed her staring at him and he smirked. "Like what you see wench?" He teased.

Kagome snapped out of the thoughts and shook her head, embarrassed at being caught red-handed. Crossing her arms, she retorted, "I could ask you the same thing Inuyasha."

Inuyasha blushed, realizing she knew he was staring at her too. He looked away and mumbled an apology. Kagome giggled. "No need to apologize Inuyasha… By the way… You look nice…" A tiny blush formed once more. Inuyasha kept the heat in his face back and smirked. "I could say the same about you wench, but 'nice' would be an understatement."

…You're downright fuckin sexy, Inuyasha thought.

Kagome smiled. "I bet Miroku, Sango, and Rin left on purpose…" She started.

Inuyasha snorted. "Keh, probably." He looked over at her and she looked somewhat nervous. But why? "So… You wanna dance wench? Or do you not know how?" He smirked when Kagome snapped her head up with a new fire in her eyes. To his much surprise, she smirked at him. Kagome SMIRKED at HIM. She stood up and dusted her skirt. She looked down on him and said, "Come on dog-boy, let's dance."

Inuyasha stood up also with a mischievously sparkle in his eyes and took her hand, leading her onto the dance floor.


A song with a fast rhythm started to play as Inuyasha and Kagome appeared onto the dance floor. Inuyasha immediately started to dance and smirked at Kagome as if daring her to challenge him. Kagome wasn't intimidated the tiniest bit. In fact, as soon as she started to move her body to the beat of the song, Inuyasha's eyes grew wide in surprise.

She moved in perfect rhythm and grace. She started to gain the attention of other guys surrounding them. They all had the look of desire and lust in their eyes. Even Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off of her. The way her body moved, it was like he was under a spell.

Damn, when did she learn to dance like that?

Instinctively, a low growl rumbled in his chest when another guy took his chance to go behind Kagome to dance with her. Jealousy ran threw Inuyasha as he watched the enticing girl dancing with another man. The demon in him screamed for him to take back what was his. Mine…

Slowly and skillfully, he got closer to Kagome and practically yanked the other guy off of her and took his spot in a split second that she didn't notice. He put his hands on her hips and pulled her a big closer to him possessively and glared at any other guy that was staring at the still dancing girl.

The song changed yet again and Kagome flowed with the music. She put her hands behind her dance partner's head. She didn't even realize she was dancing with Inuyasha until they got closer and he whispered in her ear huskily, "You win Kagome…"

Eyes widening without stopping, Kagome huffed out, "Inuyasha?"

"Keh, who else would it be wench?"

Kagome smirked at his normal attitude and stayed quiet and just continued to dance against him. She decided to tease him a big and grinded against him harder. She knew she got him when he took a sharp breath and tightened his hold of her, pulling her even closer if possible.

They were both breathing heavily and were relieved when the song finally stopped and a slower one played.

Kagome stopped and turned around to face Inuyasha. He didn't seem as tired as she was, but he was still breathing a little harder than normal. Probably his hanyou blood, she thought.

Inuyasha stared at her face and found it extremely attractive the way sweat glistened her face, the way her eyes were shining brightly with emotion, and the way her bangs were framing her face perfectly. Her chest heaved as she breathed in and out.

He smirked. "Are you tired yet wench?"

She knew he was challenging her again. She smiled big and retorted back. "Bring it on dog-boy!"

Kagome was taken by surprise when suddenly Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist. That's when she realized a slow song was playing.

"Dance with me?" He asked.

Kagome almost laughed. He had the cutest look on his face that she just couldn't resist. In response, she wrapped her arms around his neck and they started to dance slowly to the music.

"When you said you'd see me again soon, I didn't know it was this soon… What a coincidence huh?" Inuyasha asked suddenly.

Kagome giggled and content filled her as she laid her head against Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha immediately tightened his hold of her and pulled her closer, resting his cheek on top of her head.


From somewhere else, three people were spying on the lovely dancing 'couple'.

"Awwwww… They look sooo cute!" Rin squealed. Sango agreed excitedly. "I know! We just HAVE to get those two together!"

"I agree with you there Sango dearest. It's quite obvious that they like each other. Except to them at least…"

"You're right. We have to get them to admit that they like each other somehow…" Sango trailed off.

"I know!" Rin exclaimed. "How about a blind date?"

Sango smiled mischievously. "Excellent! And how about… We leave them here tonight so Inuyasha would have to give Kagome a ride home!"

"Ah but my lovely Sango, Inuyasha was my ride!" Miroku complained.

Sango hit Miroku on the head and he winced. "Rin and I will take you home Miroku so stop whining!"

They continued to bicker and Rin smiled, knowing their real feelings towards the other. Slowly and quietly, she eased away from them just as the three of them had earlier, to leave Kagome and Inuyasha alone. They'll call me when they've ready to leave… And with that thought, she headed to the bar again. The bartender was cute… But not like my Sesshomaru-sama!

Sango and Miroku finally stopped bickering and noticed a certain bubbly girl missing. "Hey where did Rin go?" Sango questioned.

"Hmm, I'm not sure… I think she left us…"

Sango looked to kill. I can't believe she let me alone with this pervert!

"Sango?"

At her name, she snapped her head towards Miroku's direction and looked at him suspiciously. "What do you want?"

"Would you like to dance?"

She was caught off at his question and dumbly nodded her head.


Kagome sighed happily as she danced in Inuyasha's arms. This is perfect… But… I wonder what it means… Does he like me like I like him? Sigh… Probably not… He's just… Being nice that's all… So don't get your hopes up Kags…

Inuyasha heard the content sigh coming from the raven-haired girl and couldn't help but wonder what was going through her head at the moment. I wonder… If she likes me as much as I like her… Hell I'm in fuckin love with this wench… Beautiful… Sexy… Wench… Sigh, Kagome… If only you knew… Without realizing it, Inuyasha's arms pulled her closer to him and he took a deep breath of her scent. Kami, she smells so good…


When Kagome felt Inuyasha's arms pulling her closer, she lifted her head and met his gaze. She blushed but didn't look away. They were lost in each other's eyes.

Kagome shuddered. He has the most beautiful golden eyes…

Unaware of their actions, they leaned closer and closer…

Just as their lips were about to touch, someone interrupted them. "Higurashi?"

The spell broken, Kagome jumped back and Inuyasha let her go. Kagome turned around and stifled a groan when she saw the brown-haired man in front of her. She walked back a step and bumped into Inuyasha's chest. She heard a slight growl coming from him but ignored it. Putting on a smile, she addressed the one who called her.

"Hojo! Hi!"

Hojo smiled widely back at her but then noticed Inuyasha behind her. "Higurashi what are you doing here? And…" Realization dawned on him. "Is that? Inuyasha? I thought he moved. What are you doing with him Kagome, I thought he was a jerk to you!"

Kagome felt a headache coming on. "It's all right Hojo… Inuyasha and I are friends now… Sango, Rin, and I came to the club and saw Miroku and Inuyasha here so we decided to just hang out for the night together…"

"Oh… I thought you were… Dating Kouga…" Hojo started.

Kagome winced at the memories rushing back to her. "Kouga and I aren't going out anymore Hojo…"

Hojo looked happy for a second before looking slightly glum again. "So… Does that mean you're going out with Inuyasha now? I mean, since you guys seem pretty close right now…"

A blush appeared on Kagome's face. "Oh! No! We're just friends!"

For some reason, as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it. She felt Inuyasha stiffen and take a small step back.

Hojo looked happier. "Oh really? So um… Do you wanna… Dance or something?"

Inuyasha realized this 'Hobo' guy liked Kagome and he was hurt when she said they were just friends. But then again… It was the truth… But it still hurt. He was about to turn around and leave when he felt someone tug on his wrist. "Where are you going Inuyasha?" He didn't even turn around but freed his wrist from her grasp. "Bar for a drink." Then, he left her alone with Hojo.


Kagome sadly watched him leave. Inuyasha… Don't leave… I'm sorry… She turned around to face Hojo. "I-I'm sorry Hojo… But I think I should go… I'll um… See you later?" Without even waiting for a reply, she hurried to where Inuyasha left.

Hojo looked dejected. She must like Inuyasha from the way she was staring at him when he left… Lucky bastard… If he hurts her…


Inuyasha arrived at the bar and ordered a root beer. He didn't feel like drinking any alcohol that night so a root beer was his next choice. When he felt someone plump down on the seat next to him, he was surprised to hear Kagome's voice echoing in his ear.

"Inuyasha? Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?" Kagome asked. She didn't want him to be upset with her. They were having a good time until Hojo had to come and ruin it. She looked down at her lap, fiddling with her fingers.

Inuyasha looked to his right at her and noticed her head was down. He suddenly felt bad for making her upset thinking he was upset with her. Well, I am, but she doesn't need to know that.

"You didn't do anything wench. I was just thirsty."

Kagome gazed up at him and knew he was lying but didn't press on it. Suddenly, she yawned and felt kind of drained. Inuyasha noticed and looked concerned. "Are you okay Kagome? Are you tired? Do you wanna go home?"

Kagome smiled at his concerned voice. "Yeah, I guess I'm a little tired… I should call Sango and Rin. Hold on a second."

What the two of them didn't know was that Sango, Rin, and Miroku had already left the club.

When Kagome opened her cell phone, she had voice mail from Sango.

'Hey Kags, it's Sango. Rin and I left already with Miroku because we were getting tired. We dropped off Miroku so you better catch a ride with Inuyasha. Bye, we love you!' Click.

Kagome sweatdropped. "Looks like they left us here Inuyasha."

Inuyasha didn't look surprised. "Figures. So come on." He stood up and waited for her. She only gave him a puzzled look. "Don't you want me to take you home? It's kinda dangerous to walk around the streets in the middle of the night. Especially with what you're wearing."

Kagome frowned at the last statement but realized he didn't mean it as an insult. "All right."

The two of them left the club and went outside. Kagome suddenly shivered because of the cold air. Inuyasha noticed and wrapped his jacket around her shoulders. She looked at him gratefully. "Thanks Inuyasha."

"Keh, you need it more than I do."

She rolled her eyes at his arrogance but smiled anyway.

Soon, a black limousine drove by and stopped in front of them. Inuyasha opened the doors for Kagome and waited for her to get in. Kagome was awed by the inside of the limo. It was definitely spacious and cozy. Sleep was getting to her as she looked out the window. It claimed her a minute later and her head rolled until it met with Inuyasha's shoulder. He blushed and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

The driver smiled at the picture. She is the one for Master Inuyasha…

Inuyasha looked down at the sleeping girl with a small smile on his face. I love you Kagome…


Fifteen minutes later, they had arrived at Kagome's apartment. Inuyasha hated to wake her but he softly shook her shoulders. "Hey, wake up wench…"

Kagome stirred slightly and opened her eyes. "Huh?" She was met with his usual smirk. "We're at your apartment wench."

"Oh. Okay."

When she got out of the limo, he stepped out with her. She lost her footing and almost tripped if it wasn't for Inuyasha who caught her. "Oh! Thanks Inuyasha…"

"Keh. You should watch it wench… I might not bet here next time to catch you when you fall…"

Hearing the familiar words from years ago made her smile. "Right."

When they got to the front door, they stopped. Kagome turned around to face him. She took off the jacket and handed it back to him. "Thank you Inuyasha… I had a lot of fun tonight…" Ah, stupid! You sound like you guys just went out on a date or something! Kagome mentally kicked herself.

Inuyasha blushed when she said that. This moment made him feel like they just got back from a date or something. "Me too…" Idiot, is that all you can say?

Kagome smiled and it made his heart race. "So I guess I'll see you around?"

When she didn't get a reply from him, she noticed he was staring at her; again. His eyes traveled from her eyes down to her lips. She followed his gaze and blushed. Smiling, she leaned up on her toes to give him a kiss on the cheek.

When she was about to touch her lips to his cheek, she didn't expect it when he suddenly turned his face so that his lips met hers. Her eyes widened in shock but didn't pull back. Slowly, she kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck as he slowly wrapped around her waist.

The kiss ended all too soon and Kagome immediately missed the warmth he gave her. Inuyasha was reluctant to pull away. "Wow…" He breathed.

Kagome was flushed and didn't know what to say. She was shocked nonetheless. She smiled at him once more and without giving it a thought, she leaned up again and gave him a quick peck on the lips, then ran inside her apartment door.

Inuyasha stood there dazed and had no idea what had just happened until he heard the door close. He was speechless. He stood in front of her door for another few seconds and then retreated back to his limo.

Behind the door, Kagome slid down onto the floor and leaned against the door. She traced her lips with her finger and a smile crept onto the face. It was just like… Our first kiss…

In the limo, Inuyasha was still on cloud 9. I can't believe… Kami I love her… He let a playful smile appear on his face as he continued to think about the girl he fell for. That was heaven…


Ah! I'm so so so sorry for making you guys wait! You have every right to be mad! I tried to make this chapter a little bit longer! I hope you guys liked it! RR please!
