Chapter 23: Gloating and Missing
'Mrs. Kagome Takahashi,' she thought, liking the sound of that.
It was now the next morning and Kagome woke up, feeling lighter than usual. It was Winter break, she was the future Kagome Takahashi, Naraku isn't evil, no Kikyo for a month (sadly no Inuyasha for a month) but hey, she is now his fiancée, could life get any better?
Kagome yawned as she got up and sat on her bed. She looked at her ring on more time before a grin, going from one ear to another shone on Kagome's face. She was so happy, she was- she was- she was happy! No other word can explain it! Excited, happy, erotic, euphoric, exhilarated, overjoyed, joyous, man, to go on an on she'd need a thesaurus. Kagome jumped out of bed and picked up some warm clothes before running to the shower. Tonight, Sango, Shiori, Kirara, Megumi, herself and Rin are going to celebrate at the Takahashi mansion.
'I might get Ah and Un to come.' Kagome thought as she turned on the shower. She was so giddy at the moment, she'd probably watch the proposal on tape over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again! Kagome moaned as she felt the water hit her back, relaxing her muscles.
'He's mine, not Kikyo's.' she thought as she washed her face. After her shower she dired her hair, pulled on a pair of black jeans, a red sweater and a black scarf. Kagome pulled on some black boots and wore some silver bangles on her left wrist.
'Temptress,' she giggled to herself as she walked downstairs.
Souta was already eating breakfast and her Jii-chan was in his bedroom. Kagome ruffled her brother's hair before walking outside.
"Where to Nee-chan?" her brother asked.
"Sango, Shiori, Kirara and Rin are all celebrating for me, I'm at the mansion." Kagome said as she saw Jaken and the black Benz pull up.
"I'm out Souta! If Yashie calls, tell him to call his house."
"Will do." Souta said as he continued to watch T.V. and eat breakfast.
Kagome giggled and she got into the car and Jaken smiled at her. "Looking very good today Kagome-sama."
Kagome smiled. "Arigatou Jaken,"
Jaken nodded and started to drive towards the Takahashi mansion.
Kagome stared at her ring, not being able to get enough of it. She was engaged to the biggest singer of the time, she was engaged to the love of her life, her best friend, her boyfriend, her Inuyasha. Kagome squealed and Jaken looked back at her. "Any reason why you're so happy?"
"Yashie-kun proposed to me!"
"Oh yes, he showed us the ring before he did."
"Yay!"
"You're very hyper Kagome-sama."
Kagome laughed. "I'm going to get married to him Jaken, should I be sad?"
"I suppose not, oh yes, Rin-sama said that Kikyo would be coming too, so you need this." Jaken handed Kagome a blood red face mask.
"It seems I'm going to a masquerade." She said dryly as she put the mask on. Jaken chuckled as he pulled up onto the driveway and indeed they saw a Silver Toyota parked outside.
Kagome got out and walked up to the door, her engagement ring gleaming in the light. Rin opened the door and squealed. "SWEETHEART!"
"Hey tubby," Kagome said adjusting the mask on her face.
"Sango! Kirara! Shiori! Megumi! Kagome is here." Rin said.
"Is Kikyo here yet?" Kagome asked.
"Not yet," Sango grinned as Kagome took off the mask. "Thank you! HI guys!"
"LET'S SEE THE RING!" Kirara squealed.
Kagome grinned as she held out her hand. The four girls squealed as they saw the ring. "Wow Kagome-chan, you marrying Inuyasha, big whoopee! I'm SO the main of honour!" Sango grinned.
"Fine then, we're brides maids." Shiori smirked.
"Can I be flower girl?" Megumi grinned. Everybody stared at her in awkwardness before bursting out laughing.
"To bad I'd have a baby by then." Rin pouted.
"We're not getting married NOW Rin," Kagome grinned, "probably when your child is old enough to stay with Sesshomaru for long periods of time."
Rin squealed and hugged her friend.
"Wait, if Kikyo is coming over, then shouldn't she recognize Sango?" Kagome asked.
"We're using the excuse of Miroku being his best friend; Inuyasha is a bit close to his best friends' girlfriend." Megumi grinned.
"Why ARE we inviting Kikyo?" Kagome asked, "I mean if I'm his fiancée, we shouldn't be inviting his ex girlfriend." Kagome said.
"True, but if we keep this up, then the break up will be more painful for her." Kirara smirked.
"You guys are so evil, I love you!" Kagome grinned. The doorbell rang and Sango quickly helped Kagome put her mask on. Kikyo walked in to find three band members (Sweetheart, Kirara and Shiori), Inuyasha's best friends' girlfriend (Sango), Sweethearts "cousin" (Megumi –in actuality it was Inuyasha's cousin but they used the excuse of Megumi being Kagome's cousin because Inuyasha didn't know what else to tell Kikyo-) and of course, the pregnant in-law, (Rin.)
"Yeah, hi." Kikyo sniffed as she sat down beside Kirara. Kirara stood up and sat down beside Kagome, giving Kikyo a rough look.
"Anyways, like we were saying, YOU'RE ENGAGED! WAI!" Rin squealed as she hugged Kagome who tried to hold her back, trying to think of the baby.
"Rin, sweetie, give Mina some space." Kagome coughed, "I don't want my goddaughter to be born weird because you're to busy hugging me because I'm engaged!"
"BUT- BUT- BUT!" Rin whined.
"Stop saying such a horrible word Rin!" Kagome teased.
"Shut up Sweetheart," Rin squealed.
"How the hell does Fluffy-kun let you run around like that?" Kagome asked.
"Because he loves me." Rin squealed.
"I swear," Shiori shook her head.
"Oh, oh, oh, Kirara are Ah and Un coming?" Kagome grinned.
"Ah is, not Un."
"Why?" Kagome frowned.
"Orthodontist," Kirara said. Kirara was a close relative of Ah and Un so she knew everything about them.
"He doesn't need braces," Kagome frowned.
"Apparently, his mom thinks he does." Kirara grinned.
Kagome laughed and shook her head. Kikyo glared at them all before glaring at Kagome specifically. 'I wanna just rip that mask off,'
"Let me see the ring again," Megumi said staring at the ring.
"Is it real? Real? REAL?" Shiori asked.
"Knowing him, it probably is." Sango said looking at the ring.
"Can I see?" Kikyo asked. Kagome smiled at her, trying to keep her hatred to a bare minimum.
"Sure," She said. Kikyo walked over and stared at the ring. She had to admit, she was impressed that she was able to snag a money bag who could afford such an engagement ring.
"Are you two gonna have an Engagement party?" Rin asked.
"Probably, when he comes back, if not, then we're getting married after graduation." Kagome said as she pulled her hand back from Kikyo and stared at it.
"Does Inuyasha know?" Kikyo asked.
Everybody looked at her before Kagome coughed. "Uh, yeah he does, he was the first one to know." Kagome said.
Kikyo shrugged. "I bet my Inu-kun could afford a better ring than this."
"Yeah sure, he could, but I go for sentimental value, not quality." Kagome smiled, "Inuyasha probably could have afforded more, but this ring means more."
Kikyo glared at her. 'She's talking as if she was the one engaged to Inuyasha!'
"I think Inuyasha is going to ask me to marry him," Kikyo smirked, "we've been spending a lot of time together."
"Or maybe he pitied you because he spends so much time with Sweetheart," Rin said.
"Shut up you fat whore,"
"Excuse me, I was a virgin on my honeymoon, unlike you," Rin spat, "probably fucked up every boyfriend you had. Too bad you didn't score Yasha."
Kikyo stood up and glared at her. "Take that back whore!"
"Excuse me, Sesshy-kun is home," Kagome coughed.
"Keep out bitch!" Kikyo glared at her.
"Don't be calling me a bitch, at least my man loves me enough to ask me to marry me, speaking of which, Mama was there when he did it and she even taped it, Sango and Miroku were by too," Kagome grinned at Kirara, Rin and Shiori, "we can, watch it later."
"OH MY GOD YES! Sango said it was the most romantic proposal ever!" Megumi squealed
Kagome grinned. "Oh yes, it was!"
"Can we shut up about this?" Kikyo growled.
"No we ca-" Sango was cut off when Kagome's cell rung. She took it out of her pocket and squealed. "It's Yashie-kun!"
Kagome picked it up and winked at Kikyo who glared at her.
"Hey Yashie-kun!"
"Hi Sweetheart, how's it going?"
"It sucks,"
"Why?"
"I'm at your house with your girlfriend over," Kagome coughed, "and she's dissing my fiancé."
"Ouch, do I really wanna know what she said?"
"No you don't, I'll tell you when you get back." Kagome smirked at Kikyo who flared up and stomped to the bathroom.
"Alright, she's in the bathroom, oh my god I miss you." Kagome sighed.
"It's ok Kagome, baby, I'll be back soon."
"A month and a half is too long! You're coming back on Valentines day." Kagome whined.
"I know, but wouldn't you want to spend V-day with your fiancé?"
"I suppose, how's Cancun?"
"Without you, even heaven wouldn't be worth it."
"Cheeky,"
"I love you too."
"Can't you come back earlier?"
Inuyasha sighed. "Sadly no, I even think I might extend this trip."
"What? WHY?" Kagome whined.
"You will not believe how popular we are," Inuyasha sighed, "I think dad signed off a contract here and I have to do a show,"
"WHAT? But we duet almost all of the songs."
"Yeah I know, I'm just gone tell him to dig his grave, I miss you and I ain't doing no stage fuck,"
"You're so sweet,"
"Thank you, now I have a date with the pool, later Sweetheart."
"Bye, and don't you dare eye those Cancun girls."
"Of course not, I'll ogle them, not eye them."
"You're not funny."
Inuyasha laughed. "Later Sweetheart,"
"Bye Yashie." And they hung up, in time too because Kikyo walked out. "Well, that was a nice conversation, I need to go home now or else my brother will murder me, my turn to make dinner." Kagome groaned.
"Alright then, but you're coming back tomorrow with the proposal tape ok!" Rin squealed.
Kagome grinned. "Yes, no worries." She hugged them all and smirked at Kikyo before leaving.
'UGH!' Kikyo mentally screamed as 'sweetheart' left.
"Finally, we can get married Inuyasha," said a beautiful girl with midnight black hair. Inuyasha smiled as he wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. "Yes, now that Naraku and she are out of the way,"
The girl giggled as she lightly slapped his rock hard chest. "I love you so much Yashie."
"I love you too," He whispered as he lightly leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips.
Flash forward—WEDDING
Inuyasha waited for his bride to come out. The wedding bells rung, the bridal music began and a wondrous white goddess stepped out from behind the doors.
Inuyasha felt his chin go wet as Miroku chuckled. He shut his mouth for Inuyasha as Sango smiled at the two.
'My wedding,' he thought as he stared at his bride.
Inuyasha forgot everything, as soon as his bride arrived. For when the priest spoke, for when he said his vows, he didn't know. All he knew was her beauty.
"Do you, Takahashi Inuyasha take Higurashi Kagome to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Do you, Higurashi Kagome take Takahashi Inuyasha to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." Kagome said as she stared at Inuyasha.
Kagome woke up from her dreamily happily. She had been constantly getting that dream and she knew that her wedding night would be the best. Today was Valentines Day! School started at the beginning of February and everybody was pretty much bummed, since exams were nearing.
Kagome squealed. It was a Saturday today; her fiancé was due to come back, what more? She danced around putting on white pants and a pink sweater. She had a red hand band on and red nail polish. Today she was all Red, White and Pink!
Kagome danced down the stairs. She kissed her brother's cheek who yelled.
She kissed her grandfather's cheek who yelled.
She called her mother at work… who yelled.
"Man, what's with all the yelling?" Kagome asked her brother as they both sat down on the sofa.
"I think we've had enough outbursts of 'INUYASHA'S COMING' from you to last a damn lifetime." Souta growled.
"Unlike you, I'm engaged."
"Unlike you, I'm still young." Souta shot.
Kagome grinned, "Ever noticed how Kim's brother and Megumi's husband have the same name, Koto."
Souta laughed. "Yeah, except Kim's brother is Koto Hiro and Megumi's husband is Koto Kawasaki."
"Weird eh, how they're both Koto though."
"Now I'm going to get confused on which Koto is which."
Souta laughed. "You're like that Nee-chan."
Kagome smirked. "So what? Anyways, where do you think Inuyasha will go first? His place, Miroku's place, Kikyo's place, or over here?"
"I'd say over here," came a very, very masculine voice from behind the two. They stood up and slowly turned around to come face to face with Inuyasha Takahashi.
"YASHIE!" Kagome squealed as she lunched into his arms and hugged him. Inuyasha smiled as he pressed his lips against her temple. Souta grinned and walked away, giving the engaged couple some time to them selves.
"Oh my, when did you arrive? How did you get here so early? Didn't anybody see you?" Kagome asked as she raced his features, letting her fingers linger at his lips. He licked her lips before possessively hugging her again.
"6am, by limo, and no."
Kagome laughed as he pressed her lips against his. It was a short and tender kiss and their tongues touched for a short moment.
"I missed you so much," She said as they pulled back.
"Sam here, Sweetheart." He murmured as he nibbled her bottom lip.
"I love you," She moaned into the kiss.
Inuyasha put his left hand on the small of her back and his right hand around her waist. Her hands hung around his shoulders as they intensified the kiss. As much as Souta didn't want to do it, he had promised his mom to film any Inuyasha/Kagome romance when he returned. Se he was standing at the gate, filming this.
"Never leave me for a long time," Kagome pouted.
Inuyasha smiled as he rubbed his nose against hers. "Never, my Kagome."
"When are you two getting married?" Souta asked. The two finally acknowledged his presence.
"After graduation?" Kagome said.
"Right after graduation." Inuyasha smiled.
"When will you dump Kinky ho?" Souta asked.
Inuyasha and Kagome frowned. Kagome looked at her fiancé expectantly.
"Yes Yashie, when?" She asked.
Inuyasha sighed. "I'm thinking of a good way of doing it." He muttered.
"Do it today," Souta said moving in closer with the video camera, "she'll have a memory, dumped by Takahashi Inuyasha on Valentines day."
"I'm not that mean," Inuyasha said.
"Your fiancée is." Kagome shot as she shoved his shoulder.
"You really don't like this eh?"
Kagome sighed and shook her head. "No, I love you, I want the world to know that. Mama said she doesn't care about the publicity any longer, so we can tell everybody I'm Sweetheart."
Inuyasha smirked. "But as promised, it shall be revealed at Prom."
"Oh, then it's sooner than you expect. Prom is held on April 21st because our exams cut in during May and June. Then of course our grad is in July."
"Shit, and it's February 14th today," Inuyasha said.
"Say, let me see the Christmas gift I got you." Kagome grinned. Inuyasha chuckled as he unzipped his jacket. Kagome stepped into his arms and sniffed him.
"Perfect, you wore it." She said.
"Well, the cologne you gave me was pretty addicting." Inuyasha smirked.
Kagome laughed as she slapped his arm. "So what are you going to do now?"
"I wanted to spend time with my fiancée and help Souta make a movie on our love life, but sadly I need to visit Miroku, Sango, go home, unpack, and then dump Kikyo today."
Kagome's eyes lit. "Seriously?"
Inuyasha laughed. "Seriously. I'll see you later?"
Kagome smiled and pressed her lips against his. "Yeah, later."
Inuyasha nuzzled her cheek before leaving to the limo. Kagome sighed and fell back onto the sofa.
"Can life get any better?" She grinned into the video camera.
"Wait until you're pregnant Nee-chan." Souta smirked.
Kagome laughed, actually liking the idea of having Inuyasha's kids.
