A/N: Okay, in this chapter the meaning of the title is revealed. Or in other words, how it relates to the story. I'm wondering whether anyone is going to be able to figure it out. I'm guessing it's a yes though. Review replies are at the end of the chapter and I hope you like it. Don't forget to review!
When some thing is written like "", it shows what the character is saying.
When written like '', it shows what the character is pondering or in other words thinking. It may also be used to stress out a word. For example, "You baka, I 'do' want to go to the party!".
When words are written in italic as shown, it shows a flashback. In other words a thought of the past. It may be before hand noted with a :Flash Back: but furthermore may not.
Enjoy!
Chapter 4: Unforeseen Truths: Part Two
Kagome blushed at the man, who only continued to smirk. She couldn't believe it, when she thought of Yuni's father; she pictured maybe a middle-aged man. Not this guy who seemed to be in his early twenties. Kagome had to admit, he was very handsome, with his silver hair that matched Yuni's which was in a single braid that was thrown over one of his shoulders, and eyes that were much more golden then Yuni's, if it were even possible. He was wearing a black suit with a matching red tie.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the woman before him, when not receiving any response, "Fine then, if you want to, you can keep calling me daddy, not that I don't mind." he smirked.
Kagome frowned, as she flushed in embarrassment, all previous thoughts forgotten.
"Where's Shintara?" Inuyasha questioned, as he placed his daughter down.
Kagome blinked, she then realized he was referring to Ms. Tomeda. "She's not here, she went to go meet her boyfriend, I'm watching her if that's what concerns you."
Inuyasha frowned, "And you are?"
Kagome sighed, "I'm Ms. Tomeda's new assistant, Kagome Higurashi sir."
Inuyasha raised a brow, "Really?"
Kagome gave him a wary look, "Um, yeah, really."
Inuyasha took his eyes off Kagome and looked down at his daughter.
"What took you so long Daddy?" Yuni asked, while she pouted.
"We'll talk about it later, go get your stuff." Inuyasha smiled, as he ruffled her hair.
Yuni smiled, "Okay Daddy." she said, as she ran off to get her things.
Kagome smiled as she watched the exchange between the two, maybe he wasn't that bad.
"Where the hell were you!" Inuyasha said angrily, as soon as Yuni left.
Kagome frowned, then again, she could always be wrong. "I went next door to get-"
"Why weren't you here when I came? Don't you know in the contract your not supposed to take the kids off the premises unless there's an emergency or permission from the parent." Inuyasha said, angrily.
Kagome frowned, "What did you want me to do, leave her here?"
"No, you were supposed to stay with her until I came to pick her up." Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha, "Listen, " Kagome said heatedly, as she walked up to him. "One, you shouldn't be asking me where 'I've' been, where the hell were you! You were supposed to be here more than an hour ago. Two, I know that's in the contract, it also says that if a parent comes more than an hour late, the caretaker is allowed to take the child to the police station. I could've done that too. But I didn't, instead I decided to wait for you. Thirdly, I could've gotten my mother's dry cleaning if YOU CAME ON TIME!"
Inuyasha was surprised; he then frowned not liking the fact he was being yelled at, "Listen-"
"No!" Kagome yelled, as she poked him on the chest with her finger. "You listen, I don't appreciate being yelled at! If anything, I should be getting a thank you instead of all this animosity! I'm starving and because of you I missed dinner!"
Inuyasha arched a brow, "Then I'll have to take you to dinner, won't I."
"Don't try to act all…what did you say?"
Inuyasha smirked, "I said, I'll take you out to dinner."
Kagome blinked in confusion, she wasn't expecting that. "I…"
"Yay! Gome coming to dinner with us!" Yuni squealed in excitement, with her backpack and other things in hand.
"Um…I don't know if-"
"Listen, I already promised Yuni I'd take her out to eat tonight, so it's no problem."
Kagome looked up at them hesitantly, "But I-"
"Pweety Pwease Gome." Yuni pouted, as she wrapped her arms around Kagome's legs.
Kagome looked down at Yuni, "But…"
"C'mon," Inuyasha said, as he knelt beside his daughter. "Can you say no to a face like this." he said, as Yuni gave Kagome the puppy eyes.
Kagoem bit her bottom lip, trying resist the look Yuni was giving her, she then sighed as she looked down at the two, "Fine."
Yuni smiled as she grabbed Kagome's hand. "C'mon Gome, let's go, we gonna have so much fun." she squealed, as she headed towards the door, pulling Kagome with her. Kagome smiled as she walked towards the door with Yuni.
Inuyasha smirked, watching Kagome's retreating form, as her hips swayed from side to side. Now this would be interesting.
Kagome sighed, she really didn't know what she was thinking. Half of her was screaming for her to turn around, while the other half didn't actually mind it. Besides, he did offer and he was paying for it.
She looked behind her worriedly, "Well at least I hope so, I didn't bring any money to buy something to eat, just enough to get me home."
She was confused, one minute he was yelling at her for practically being irresponsible, the next he was offering her dinner? It just didn't seem to add up.
Her eyes widened as Yuni steered them in front of a Mercedes Benz, as she stared at it, she didn't notice the annoyed look Inuyasha was giving her.
Inuyasha unlocked the doors, "Are you just gonna stand there and gawk at it all damn day, our are you going to get in?" he said, as he opened the door to the passenger's seat for her.
Kagome looked up at him hesitantly, she knew if she sat in front with him she'd be so uncomfortable, just the thought of it made her nervous. She looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was doing this purposely to make her uneasy. Deciding to dismiss the fact, she slid in as he closed the door after her. Inuyasha smirked while he walked over to the driver's side and got in.
Kagome put on her seat belt as looked over to Inuyasha who didn't. She looked at the back to see Yuni lounged on her back. She then gazed up at Inuyasha expectantly.
"Well?"
Inuyasha looked over to her in confusion, "Well what?"
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Aren't you two going to put on her seat belts?"
Inuyasha frowned, "Your kidding."
Kagome scowled, "Why would I?"
Inuyasha sighed as he reached for his seat belt, "C'mon Yun, get up and put on your seat belt."
Yuni pouted, "But daddy…"she whined.
"No buts." Inuyasha answered, as he started the car.
Yuni frowned as she sat up and put on her seat belt.
Kagome sighed, as she watched Yuni put struggle to put it on.
"Gome, we gonna finish watching the movie?" Yuni asked.
Kagome smiled, "Yeah, I think Ms. Tomeda will play it for you guys tomorrow."
Inuyasha raised a brow, "Yuni her name's Kagome, say it with me Ka-go-me."
Yuni blinked in confusion, "That what I said daddy, Go-me.
Inuyasha sighed as he drove out of the parking lot. "Your right 'Gome," he said referring to the seat belts. "I feel safe already." Inuyasha smirked, as he drove out of the parking lot.
Kagome glared at him, "Don't call me that!"
Inuyasha arched a brow, "Yuni does."
"Well she can't help it," she said, until she realized that he was staring at her, she blushed and turned the other way, hoping to avoid eye contact.
Inuyasha smirked when seeing she was avoiding his gaze. He had to admit, she was beautiful. With her dark hair that cascaded down her back and just as equally beautiful brown eyes. And her outfit mad it all the more better.
Yuni's eyes widened when she remembered something, "Oh daddy, I have something for you." she said, as she looked through her backpack.
Inuyasha looked through his rear view mirror, "What?"
Yuni smiled, "This." she said, as she showed him her drawing.
Inuyasha stopped at a red light, then took the drawing. Inuyasha smirked, "Wow Yuni, it's real good."
Yuni took off her seat belt and got up as she looked over her dads shoulder. "I drew me, and you, and the lake you always take me to. And our house is aaaaall the way over here." Yuni grinned, as she pointed to the house. "Even Gome said is was good."
Inuyasha smirked as he looked over to Kagome, "Did she?"
Kagome blushed, "Um, yeah. I did. Take it from me, the girl who flunked art class in the fifth grade." Kagome smiled.
Yuni beamed.
Inuyasha arched a brow, "In that case, shouldn't she 'not' take your word for it."
Kagome glared at him, "It was a joke!"
"Well it seemed like a bad one to me."
Kagome frowned, now she really felt like getting out of the car.
"You can put it on the fridge Yuni." Inuyasha said, as he made a turn.
"But daddy," Yuni said. "We got nine fridges, which one do I put it on?" she asked curiously.
Kagome arched a brow, 'Wow, how rich do you have to be to have nine fridges.'
"Which ever one you want Yun." Inuyasha smiled, as Yuni grinned. "Now where to?" Inuyasha asked, as he snapped Kagome out of her thoughts.
"I don't know," she said, as she looked back at Yuni. "Where do you want to eat?"
Yuni put her finger on her chin in thought, "Um, Wacdonalds." she smiled.
Kagome nodded, "Fine, Wacdonalds it is."
Inuyasha frowned, "If I wanted to go to Wacdonalds, I would have made us something to eat at home."
"But daddy," Yuni frowned. "Your cooking yucky."
"Why am I not surprised." Kagome laughed as Inuyasha scowled. "Besides, you're the one who asked where I wanted to eat."
Inuyasha snorted, "That doesn't mean I would have actually considered it."
Kagome frowned, "Okay then, why don't you choose."
"Why don't we go to that Sushi restaurant." Inuyasha suggested.
Kagome shook her head, "No I don't want to go there, it will only remind me of what I missed at dinner."
"Fine, how bout we go to that Global Cuisine, they have all types of foods there."
Yuni smiled, "Daddy, is it that place where they give you crayons and pictures?"
"Yeah." he then looked over to Kagome smirking, "Unless you have a problem with that."
Kagome smiled as she tried to hold her ever-decreasing patience, "Wouldn't have it any other way."
Kagome kicked a near by can as they walked towards the restaurant. "I don't see why you couldn't park closer to the restaurant." Her feet were killing her, and she didn't feeling like walking the extra block to get there.
Inuyasha snorted, "You could use the exercise."
Kagome frowned as she watched Yuni skip on ahead of them, "What, are you calling me fat or something?" Kagome asked angrily.
Inuyasha shrugged, "Hey, it came out of your mouth, not mine."
Kagome opened her mouth to say something, but closed it when she remembered something.
"Crap, I forgot my sweater." she sighed.
"Here," Inuyasha said, as he handed his keys. "Hurry up and get it and meet us down at the restaurant, it's right on ahead."
Kagome sighed, "Let me guess, your not coming back with me?"
Inuyasha snorted, "And walk all the way back to the car, hell no."
Kagome glared at Inuyasha before turning back towards the direction of the car.
"Daddy?" Inuyasha looked down at his daughter. "Where Gome going?"
Inuyasha smirked, "Oh, she's just going to get something from the car. C'mon, lets' go. She'll meet us at the restaurant."
Inuyasha sighed as they reached the restaurant.
"Hello, how may I help you?" the woman said, not even sparing him a glance.
Inuyasha frowned at the woman, "A table for three."
The woman sighed as she turned the page of the magazine she was reading, "Okay, a table for three-"
"I'd actually want a booth."
The woman looked up and arched a brow; "Sorry we only give booths to families."
Inuyasha frowned, "Who the hell made up that rule."
The woman glared at him as she showed him her badge that said manager, "I did."
Inuyasha scowled at the woman. He then looked down at his daughter who was moaning.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." she whined, as she put her hand over her stomach.
Inuyasha sighed as he looked towards the entrance of the restaurant to see a very disgruntled Kagome. He smirked at an idea.
"Finally," Kagome gasped, as she held on to the wall. She was finally at the restaurant and could think of nothing else but sitting down to rest her feet, and eat to fill her empty stomach. She was irritated, angry, practically famished, and not in the mood for Mr. Tashio's games. She smiled as she saw Yuni and her father. "Hey, I got my…" she stopped as she found Mr. Tashio's arm over her shoulders.
Inuyasha smirked, "Is this family enough for you?" Inuyasha questioned.
The manager blinked in surprise, "Oh, I'm sorry sir, I did not know-"
"Just make sure it doesn't happen again." Inuyasha said, interrupting her.
"Um yes of course, right this way um..."
"Tashio," Inuyasha said. "Mr. Tashio."
The woman nodded as she directed them to a booth.
Inuyasha smirked as he grabbed Kagome's hand and followed the woman with Yuni skipping ahead.
Kagome blushed, "Um Mr. Tashio, w-what's going on?" she questioned, as they followed the woman to their seats.
"Right now, we're together alright." he said quietly so the manager wouldn't hear.
"What!" Kagome cried out, as many people in the restaurant looked over at them.
Inuyasha looked around at the staring people before smiling, "Oh don't worry, we just found out we're expecting." he explained to the people in the restaurant, as he put his hand on Kagome's stomach.
Kagome flushed in embarrassment as many people congratulated them and gave them there best of wishes. Kagome was still blushing as she scooted into the booth with Inuyasha while Yuni sat at the other side.
"Well," the manager said. "A waiter or waitress will be with you in a moment to take your order." she said, before she departed to attend to other customers.
Inuyasha smirked, "Well that was easy enough ouch."
Kagome glared at him as she punched him on the arm. "What the hell was that about." she asked angrily, as she watched Yuni color.
"Damn it, I told you already, we're a couple."
"A couple!"
"Yeah, as in together. But in this case, husband and wife."
Kagome glared at him, "I know what you mean, but why?"
"It's the only way to eat in the booths." Inuyasha explained, as though it were that simple.
Kagome scowled, "Does it matter where we sit!"
Inuyasha frowned, "Do you want to eat or what?"
Kagome sighed as she decided to not argue. It wasn't worth it, and the sooner she shut her mouth, the sooner they could order their food.
Inuyasha looked up as he saw a waitress heading towards them. "Now Kagome remember, you're my wife and Yuni is our kid, go that."
Kagome nodded as she looked through the menu, not paying him any mind.
The waitress smiled at them, "Hello, my name's Catrina, and I will be your waitress for this evening."
"Hi Careena." Yuni grined.
"Why hello," Catrina smiled. "What will you like to order?" she asked Yuni.
Yuni bit her bottom lip as she looked through the menu, "Um, I want this." she said, as she pointed to a burger deluxe, which came with fries.
Inuyasha frowned, "Yuni are you sure, those burgers are rather big for you, why don't you get something on the kid menu."
"Daddy, I can eat it."
"Yuni, you're going to end up wasting it." Inuyasha said.
"I always eat my kiddy meal." Yuni looked over to Kagome. "It true Gome, it really is."
"I believe you." Kagome smiled.
"Oh stop it already, and let's order," Inuyasha said.
"I did and I want the-"
"Fine," Inuyasha sighed. "But you have to eat everything."
Yuni looked on worriedly, "Everything?"
"Everything."
Yuni bit her bottom lip in fret, "E-Even the yucky green stuff?"
Inuyasha nodded, "Even the yucky green stu-I mean lettuce." he said, as Kagome and the waitress laughed.
Yuni crossed her arms, "Well I'ma eat everything. Even that red circle thingy." Yuni said boldly.
Inuyasha smiled towards his daughter with her stubbornness and pride, which almost rivaled his own. "Don't you mean tomato."
Yuni smiled, "Yeah, that!"
"And what would you like to drink?" the waitress asked Yuni.
"Orange juice please?" Yuni grinned.
Catrina smiled as she wrote it down, "Now aren't you the polite one."
Inuyasha raised a brow, "It's all news to me."
Yuni smiled as she stuck her tongue out at her dad.
Catrina smiled, "What will you be having Mr. Tashio,"
"Steak."
"And how would you like that?"
"Well done," Inuyasha sighed as he closed his menu. "And I'll have water with that."
Catrina nodded, "And what will you be ordering Mrs. Taisho?" she asked Kagome, who wasn't paying attention.
"Um…Mrs. Taisho?" Catrina questioned.
Inuyasha elbowed Kagome who was looking at the menu.
Kagome looked up, "Huh?"
Catrina arched a brow, "Mrs. Taisho, what do you want to order?"
Kagome frowned, "Who?"
"Uh…you"
Kagome continued to frown, until realization struck her, she then smiled. "Oh yeah, I'm Mrs. Taisho, aren't I?" Kagome said, as she laughed. Catrina looked at her suspiciously, Yuni cocked her head to the side in confusion, while Inuyasha frowned, looking at her as though she was the dumbest idiot he'd ever seen, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
Kagome smiled nervously, "Um…you see, Inu and I are newly weds." she smiled, as she grabbed Inuyasha's arm and placed her head on his shoulder, which caught Inuyasha by surprise. . "And it's just taking me a while to get used to being called Mrs. Taisho."
Catrina smiled, "My husband and I went through the same thing, well at least I did."
"Well, it's good to know we're not the only one's, huh Inu?" Kagome smiled, as Inuyasha smirked.
"Yeah, your right." he smirked, as he played along. "Good to know we're not alone." He said, as he put his arm over her shoulders.
"Well, is there anything you'd want Mrs. Tashio?" The waitress asked.
Kagome smiled uncomfortably, holding back the urge to hit him for putting his arms over her shoulder. 'He's taking this a little bit too seriously' she thought, as she saw Inuyasha smirk. "Um, how about a salad, with French dressing and water please."
"Are you sure?" Inuyasha asked with fake concern. "You know your eating for two now, who knows, possibly even more." he said, as he tried to hold back a smirk.
Kagome glared at him, seeing the corner of his lips turn up ever so slightly. "That will be fine Inu, I have to eat healthy food for the baby, remember?" she said through gritted teeth.
Yuni's eyes widened, "Gome having a baby." Yuni exclaimed happily.
"Your parents haven't told you yet?" Catrina asked, while Yuni shook her head.
Both Kagome and Inuyasha looked alarmed, "Um Yuni-"
"How you know Careena?" Yuni asked curiously.
Catrina laughed, "Well the whole restaurant knows."
Yuni frowned then looked over to the other two. Not liking the fact she was the last to know.
"So, I can see this is a family moment." Catrina said, as she saw Yuni's glare. "So I'll go see what I can do about your orders." she said before she left.
"How come you didn't tell me." Yuni asked, looking hurt.
Kagome shook her head, "No Yuni," she said as she pulled her self out of Inuyasha's grasp. "I'm not having a baby-."
"Your not?" Inuyasha questioned, interrupting her.
Kagome punched him on the arm angrily, "Mr. Taisho!"
"Fine," Inuyasha said, as he rubbed his abused arm. "Yuni, she's not pregnant." he said before smirking. "Well, not yet."
Kagome glared at him as she hit him again as he continued to smirk, "Kag, I was only joking." he said through laughter.
Yuni blinked as she watched the two bicker. She shrugged as she picked up her crayon and went back to coloring.
Kagome glared at him, "Don't call me Kag."
"Well you gave me a nick name," he smirked, putting his arm back around her shoulders as he leaned in. He then whispered seductively into her ears, "It's only fair I return the favor."
Kagome blushed as she looked over to Yuni who was looking at them with a grin. She then moved away from Inuyasha. "Um…move over, I have to go to the restroom."
Inuyasha arched a brow, "Why?"
"Oh Kami," Kagome said sarcastically, anger evident in her voice. "Shall I go into detail?"
"Fine," Inuyasha laughed, as he got up and let Kagome through.
Kagome got up and straightened her skirt, and with a glare over her shoulder towards Inuyasha, she walked towards a waitress in hopes of asking where the ladies room was.
Inuyasha smirked as he watched her retreating form.
"Daddy?"
Inuyasha looked over to his daughter who propped her elbows on the table, resting her chin in her hands. "Yes." Inuyasha answered.
"Why Gome so mad?"
Inuyasha smirked, "She's on her…nothing, it's a woman thing. You'll understand when you're older."
Yuni frowned, "But daddy-"
"Yuni," Inuyasha smirked as he got an idea. "You know how Kagome and I are pretending to be together." Yuni nodded. "Well I think Catrina is getting a little suspicious, so we have to be a lot more convincing."
"Ooooh daddy can I help?" Yuni smiled, as she jumped up and down in her seat.
Inuyasha smirked, "You just read my mind."
Kagome sighed as she splashed some water on her face in hopes of cooling her self off. She was relieved that no one else was in here. She looked up in the mirror to find her self flushed in the face, red all over. Every little thing he said or did made her react in ways no other person was able make her. She knew he was above all handsome, but he was older. Every time he looked at her, she felt hat all over whether she showed it or not. How the hell was she supposed to survive the rest of the night!
"That man will be the end of me." she sighed, as she walked out of the restroom and towards their table.
Inuyasha smiled as he saw her. 'Kami, there he goes again.' she thought, as she felt her self blush for the umpteenth time.
Inuyasha got up and put his hand under her chin as he examined her, "Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"Um yeah, why?" Kagome asked nervously.
"Well, your red all over."
Kagome flushed in embarrassment, she was wondering if this was actually concern for her well-being or if he was acting like last time.
She smiled, "Um thanks, but I'm fine." she said, as she sat down.
Inuyasha sat down besides her, "That's good," he smiled.
Kagome smiled back, maybe he wasn't that bad.
She watched as his smile turned into a smirk, "So, it's that time of the month huh?"
Kagome glared at him, "You don't ask a girl that kind of question!" she cried.
"So you are?" he asked smirking.
"That's none of your business. Why do you want to know anyway?" Kagome questioned outraged.
Inuyasha shrugged, "It gives us guys a warning to stay on your good side for the remainder of the week."
"Mommy you okay?" Yuni asked.
Kagome looked over to Yuni, "Of course I am, what gave you that idea?"
Yuni shrugged her small shoulders before smiling, "I don't know, daddy told me it was a woman thingy." she said, before she went back to coloring.
Kagome's eyes widened "Wait he told-" Kagome stopped as she realized something. 'Wait, did she just call me mommy?' she thought. She then looked over to Inuyasha suspiciously who happened to be avoiding her gaze and whistling. She was too young to be a mommy, even a fake one at that. Kagome sighed as another thought hit her. She responded! When Yuni called her mom, she responded!
'Is that how I feel?" Kagome thought, as she looked over to Yuni. She wasn't really that surprised; she adored Yuni and was rather protective of her when she was with the little girl. So much that she remembered Ms. Tomeda telling her that Yuni wasn't the only child at the day care, because she spent so much time with her. She smiled when Yuni looked up at her and grinned.
"Mr. Taisho," Kagome said, knowing he was up to something.
"Mr. Taisho?" Catrina questioned, confused to why Kagome was calling him that.
Inuyasha looked surprised as well at seeing Catrina there with a tray of drinks. He then smirked at an idea before he smirked and looked towards Kagome.
"Now Kagome," Inuyasha said, acting as though he were shocked. "We're not in bed anymore, you can stop calling me that." he smirked.
Yuni smiled, "Yeah mommy." Yuni said, as she giggled.
Kagome blushed in embarrassment, as she watched Catrina turn red at the comment.
"Um…" Catrina muttered, "Here are your drinks." she said, as she handed each one of them their drinks. "I'll be right back with your food." she said, as she left.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha, "Why did you say that?"
Inuyasha shrugged, "Had to do something, you almost ruined it for us."
"But you didn't have to say that. Kami, I'm surprised I didn't die form embarrassment." Kagome muttered, as she hid her face in her hands.
"That was fun." Yuni giggled.
"Well here it is," Catrina their waitress said, as she arrived with their food. "A steak well done for Mr. Taisho, a salad for Mrs. Taisho, and," she smiled, as she looked over to Yuni whose eyes were filled with excitement. "A burger deluxe for Yuni." she said, as she placed the burger before her.
Yuni face went from that of excitement, to worry, as she looked at the burger. It was so big, bigger than how it had looked in the picture. Her eyes widened in disbelief, how did they expect her to fit it in her mouth!
"Well I'll be back shortly." Catrina said, as she went to attend to other customers.
Inuyasha smirked, "What's with the face Yuni."
Yuni looked over to her dad, not wanting him to know how she felt. "Well daddy," she smirked, which to Kagome horror, looked much like her father's. "I was just thinking it would be bigger."
Inuyasha smirked, "Really, it's not too big for you?"
"No daddy, I can eat it." Yuni smiled, as she scooted over to Kagome's side. "Can you cut it in half for me." she asked Kagome, who complied.
"And why do you want to cut it?" Inuyasha questioned, amusement evident in his voice.
Yuni smiled, "Um, because it make it easy to eat it."
Inuyasha shrugged, as he went back to eating. Yuni sighed in relief.
"Here you go Yuni." Kagome said, as she handed Yuni back her plate.
"Thank you mommy." Yuni smiled, as she scooted back over.
Kagome smiled at her, "Your welcome."
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, surprised that she was taking the whole 'mommy' thing better than he thought.
Yuni looked up when she saw her dad wasn't looking, and took one half of her burger and dropped it under the table. She looked up to see that her dad didn't catch her, but Kagome did. Much to Yuni's relief, Kagome winked at Yuni as she continued eating. Yuni smiled, she looked down at the other half of the burger she knew she had to eat. She took of the top and made a face of disgust when she saw the tomato. She took it out and threw it somewhere under the table. Yuni then put the top back on and smiled as she tried to eat the rest of the burger.
Yuni sighed when she finished her burger, as she tried to wipe her mouth with her sleeve.
Kagome frowned, "Yuni, don't use your sleeve, use the napkin." she said, as she reached over the table and wiped Yuni's mouth.
Inuyasha frowned, "I'm surprise you were able to eat that thing." he said, wishing he had actually watched her.
Yuni smiled, "Told you I could do it daddy."
"Now let's get you cleaned up." Kagome smiled knowingly, as Inuyasha let her out. "You're a mess."
"Okay." Yuni yawned; she then grabbed Kagome's hand as she led her to the bathroom.
Inuyasha sighed, as he looked at the check for how much he had to pay. He then reached into his wallet and pulled out the cash and a tip. He frowned when he realized that his cell phone was beeping, pulling it out of his pocket he saw he had one missed call. He then called redialed the number.
"Hello," the person said at the other line.
He arched a brow, "Kagome?"
"Um Inuyasha, how'd you get my number?" she asked.
"Did you call my cell phone?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh yeah, I remember now. I looked on the list where all the parents numbers were and I called you when you were coming late."
"Okay, you two done." Inuyasha questioned.
"Yeah, almost." Kagome said. "Yuni is just using bathroom."
"Fine, you two meet me up front, I'll see you there." he said, before he press end on his phone.
Kagome frowned, realizing he had hung up on her. "The nerve." she muttered, as she put her phone in the pocket of her skirt. She turned around when she heard a toilet flush.
"Okay Gome, I'm done." Yuni said, as she got on her toes to turn on the faucet and wash her hands.
Kagome smirked, "I wander if your dad realizes what you did."
Yuni shrugged, "I don't know, I hope not." she then yawned, "Gome I'm tired."
Kagome smiled as she picked Yuni up and into her arms. "Let's wait out front for your dad, okay." she said, as Yuni rested her head on Kagome's shoulder.
"Okay mommy."
Inuyasha sighed as he got up from his seat and soon felt something under his shoe. He frowned when he saw it was a tomato, which he stepped on. He then looked under the table to see half a burger. "Yuni." he muttered under his breath.
"Don't worry, she isn't the first."
Inuyasha looked up to see Catrina, "That's the last time I let her get anything that big." Inuyasha sighed.
Catrina laughed, "Well don't worry, I'll get that cleaned up."
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah well I better get going I told Kagome that-"
"You two aren't married are you?"
Inuyasha looke up in surprise before he sighed in defeat, "What gave it away?"
"How about everything." she smiled.
"So are you gonna tell your-"
"Manager?" she said, finishing his sentence. "No I won't, besides, your daughter seems to really like here, it would be a shame if you were to be banned."
Inuyasha smirked, "Really?"
Catrina nodded, "Yeah, that and you left me quite a tip." she said, as she waved the bills. "Have a nice evening." she smiled.
"Yeah, you too." he said, as he walked towards the entrance. He frowned when he found that Kagome and Yuni weren't there. He then figured they probably went ahead to the car. He sighed as he saw he had quite a walk ahead of him.
He smirked when he saw Kagome leaning against the car with a sleeping Yuni in her arms, who had Kagome's sweater draped over her shoulder.
Kagome frowned, "What took you so long?"
"Nothing, I was just talking to the waitress." he said, as he unlocked the car.
Kagome looked surprise, "Oh really, what did you guys talk about?" she questioned, as she put Yuni in the back seat and put on her seat belt trying to ignore her burning rage of jealousy.
Inuyasha arched a brow at her attitude, "Well, she told me she knew that you and I weren't a couple. Why?"
Kagome smiled in relief, "Oh, no reason." she said, as she got into the car. Soon followed by Inuyasha.
"Is that all she said."
Inuyasha smirked, "Actually no, she also said that I was incredibly handsome and that she wishes she were in your shoes."
"Yeah right." Kagome sneered.
Inuyasha started the car as he drove out of the parking lot. "C'mon, you can't say none of that was fun."
Kagome rolled her eyes, but much to her dismay smiled, "Are you kidding? I feel sorry for who ever actually becomes Mrs. Taisho. That's too much work for me."
"Don't you mean you feel envy?" he smirked.
Kagome laughed, "You wish."
"So Kagome," Inuyasha sighed, "Where do you live?"
Kagome arched a brow, "Why do you want to know?"
"I don't know, maybe so I can take you home. But if you don't want to, you can always come to my place." Inuyasha smirked.
Kagome blushed in embarrassment, "Oh yeah, well I live at the Higurashi shrine."
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah I know where that is."
"Good," Kagome smiled, as he started driving towards her house.
They both missed asa certain somebody saw them go into the car together, not looking at all happy.
Kagome sighed as he parked the car right in front of the shrine.
Kagome smiled, "Thanks for dinner, I had fun."
Inuyasha smirked, "Didn't you say a while ago that you 'didn't' have any fun?"
"Okay I lied, happy?"
"Yeah, I am," Inuyasha smirked, as he leaned in towards her.
She blushed, "Um Inuyasha…" she said nervously, as she tried to calm her racing heart. "W-What are you doing?"
"What do you think?" he smirked as he leaned towards her, kissing the side of her neck. She closed her eyes and sighed as his lips brushed past her cheek. He pulled away as he looked deep into her eyes and his gaze went to her lips, and there they lingered. He then leaned in, ever so slowly…
"Kagome Higurashi, get your 16-year-old butt out of that car this instant!"
They both froze as they heard the voice from outside. Kagome looked to the side from their position and saw her mom standing half way up the shrine steps.
"Kagome!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled.
Inuyasha looked up at Kagome hesitantly, "Y-Your sixteen?" he questioned.
"No," Kagome said angrily. "I'm seventeen, my birthday was last month. You'd think she'd remember that."
"Y-Your seventeen?" he said, not believing what was happening. He didn't see that age any better than the first.
"Yeah I-"
"Kagome!" her mom yelled. "Get out of that car or so help me I will pull you out myself."
Kagome gave Inuyasha an apologetic look before she got out of the car, closing it behind her. She then walked halfway up the steps towards her mother.
"Mom I can explain." Kagome said, knowing she was caught in the act.
"Explain what Kagome!" Mrs. Higurashi said angrily, as she crossed her arms. "How you didn't call!"
Kagome frowned, "But mom I did call."
"Yes you did call." Mrs. Higurashi sighed. "About two hours ago, it's now almost ten-thirty." she said, as she looked behind her towards the car far off on the street. "Who is that?" she questioned, as she tried to look through tinted windows.
Kagome sighed, "Mom that's Mr. Taisho, you know Yuni's father. He came late and offered me dinner."
Mrs. Higurashi frowned, "That's besides the point. What I'm mad about is that you should have called and told me where you were going and when you'd be back."
"I'm sorry mom." Kagome sighed.
"Now come up and-"
"Can I at least say bye." Kagome sighed.
Mrs. Higurashi nodded, "Yes, but don't think you're off the hook. There's plenty more where that came from."
Kagome sighed, "Let me guess, I'm grounded for a week."
"Make that two." Mrs. Higurashi muttered, as she walked up the steps.
Kagome turned around and was surprise to see that the car was gone. She sighed, "Great, he left already." She put her hands on her lips as she thought of the kiss they had almost shared. He was so charming, handsome, and…
"Oh Kami." Kagome said as she blushed, wondering why she was thinking such things.
Kagome shook that from her thoughts. What was she thinking? That was a mistake and meant nothing, she was sure of it.
"He's probably thinking the same thing." she sighed. Then why did she feel otherwise? Why did the thought of him kissing her made her feel good inside. She then realized that her mom didn't see what almost happened.
"Thank Kami those windows were tinted." she sighed, knowing that if her mom had seen it she'd be getting more then two weeks of punishment.
"Shit!" Inuyasha cursed, as he drove home. He couldn't believe it, she was seventeen! Why was it that when he finally found someone who wasn't after him just for his looks or money, she had to be seventeen. He sighed; she was too young for him. Sure it was only a five-year difference, but still, too young.
"Damn it, I should have known." He muttered. The signs were there, how she was worrying over her mother's clothes as though she would be in trouble, the way she acted so innocent, how her face went red and her cheeks rosy at any little comment he made…
He was just lucky that the mother didn't see a damn thing. He frowned, it was all a mistake that he would make sure never happened again. She meant nothing to him.
Inuyasha frowned, "Then why can't I stop thinking about her." he muttered angrily.
Yuni yawned as she stretched her arms over her head. She then rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and frowned when she noticed Kagome wasn't there. "Where mommy daddy?" Yuni questioned.
Inuyasha sighed noticing she was talking about Kagome. "I dropped her off home already."
Yuni pouted, "I didn't get to say bye bye."
Inuyasha face softened as he realized he just drove off after she had shortly got out of the car without even a word.
"Neither did I."
A/N: I'm done! Well what did you think? I hope you all enjoyed it! I'm wondering if there's anyone at all, who expected this. And if anyone understands the way the title relates to the story. I also hope no one's mad about Inuyasha and Kagome being interrupted. But how bad would it be if they kissed so quickly after they had met. What fun would that be! Another reason I'm happy is because I finished reading the new Harry Potter, even though it wasn't as long as the fifth one, it was still good because it had more romance and jealousy in it! Which I absolutely loved.

Luna-Divine: Yay! I'm so happy you loved it. And I'm glad you gave my story a chance! I don't often read one chapter fics either but I believe at times their worth the time and that it's not the amount of chapters, but the content that counts. :sighs: Now I'm starting to sound like my uncle.

kikiablackangel11: Glad you enjoyed it! Since you and everyone else couldn't wait for Inu to make his appearance, I had to put him in the next chapter. Thanks!
purepriestess345: Thanks!
demonic-hotty: I'm happy you like the story! You were right about Yuni's dad being Inuyasha, but wrong about Kikyo being the mom. I don't really like Kikyo much, so I wouldn't make her cute little Yuni's mother. She will play another role in the story. And about Inu not trusting women is a good guess but far from it. He actually has no problem with women; it's just that he always ends up dating women who don't want him for nothing but his looks or money. Thanks for the review, I loved reading it!
