Chapter 30

Lord Wanabe's Palace

Kagome and Haru were sitting on the big hall where all the other guests also came there. The hall is so big and beautifully decorated like a big banquet party. Everything on that hall is looked very classical and expensive things. All the servants who worked there, mostly a beautiful women.

Then Lord Wanabe entered the room followed by his concubine behind his back. There are maybe 10-20 more women. Actually Kagome was bit shocked when he saw Lord Wanabe for the first time. He doesn't look as she thought before….a big, ugly, fat and older man. In fact, he was quite breathtakingly good-looking with his tall and athletic body. She is almost blushing to herself when Lord Wanabe noticed her admiration towards him. Well…no wonder all the women here are grazy about him said Kagome.

"What do you think of him", said Haru while pouring some sake into her cup.

"He looks cute…" said Kagome bluntly while drinking the sake. When she looked at Haru, she was surprised to see the expression of his face. She saw some jealousy in there! Funny thing, she was glad about it.

"Bah…..",said Haru spontaneously.

As soon as Kagome heard that tone, immediately her cup slipped from her fingers. She looked at Haru directly…….

"What…..what….you said just now….?" said Kagome astounded of his remarks.

"What happened to you? Are you alright?" said Haru confused now.

"Well….probably nothing…..sorry I am fine…." said Kagome. She tried to control herself again. Just now….I'll be damned….if I was wrong. I saw Inuyasha's reaction in him. Her heart is beating fast now. She stared at him now. Suddenly….she felt the desire to touch him and feel his skin with her fingers. Is Haru is Inuyasha? No… it can't be. Stop It! I think this because I drink too much sake. She said to herself

"What's wrong with you…? Why you stare at me like that? You can't wait to go to bed with me, aren't you……my beautiful wife. We wait till this party is over…Ok", said Haru wittily at her.

"You….. ….How dare you! I…I hate you." said Kagome is blushing almost in tears. She looked away from him. She is scared now not because of anything but she can't deny that she WANTED HIM!

Haru smiled triumphantly at her and held Kagome's hand closely to him. Kagome just noticed that Haru got a sword on his waist. I didn't know he can fight, said Kagome. It's samurai type…not Tetsaiga. I guess I was wrong…He is not Inuyasha.

"Is it necessary to bring a sword in a party like this?" asked Kagome.

"Yes….I need it. Especially when you bring your beautiful wife in a party like this. People may think you bring a girl to offer for the host ", said Haru now looking at Kagome as if as he wanted to kiss her. Kagome was blushed and looked at somewhere else which she was surprised that Lord Wanabe's eye is on her now.

Suddenly all the noises in the room were quite, all the attention directed to the host of the party.

"Welcome all! To my party. Help yourself with all the foods. Whatever in here is free unless my women of course…." said Lord Wanabe jestingly followed by the crowds' laughing.

"However, today I am so glad my dear friend….Master Haru is here….with her new wife", said Lord Wanabe. He looked at Kagome. Kagome can feel Haru is so tense. He is standing up now and said…

"Thank you….for inviting us. Yes…just today we are married. Let me introduce you …This is my beautiful wife, Kagome….My Lord…" said Haru. Kagome stand and gave a smile to everyone then back to seat again.

"Well….well….I admit that you have a very good taste Master Haru with woman. I am amazed by the news that you are getting married so soon with Lady Kagome. Have you known her before?" said Lord Wanabe. His eyes are all over Kagome.

"Of course….she is my fiancée…She came here to get married with me by surprise. She got lost when she was trying to find me. Luckily your people had helped her to get to my house. Thank you for that." said Haru. He is bowing down his body.

"Oh….how romantic….I never heard you have anything to do with woman before…Master Haru", said Lord Wanabe.

"Because I only have Lady Kagome in my mind", said Haru. Kagome can sense some truthfulness of his words by some reason. Let's start the party now….." said Lord Wanabe.

Then suddenly all the noises were all over the hall. People were talking, laughing and eating. Then she saw Haru approaching to Lord Wanabe and had a word with him. While from his back, she can see some of the woman were looking at Haru lushly and trying to pull him somewhere. Kagome was jealous looking at that scene. However, out of the blue, a man came from nowhere standing in front of her.

"Hallo….Lady Kagome….I want to congratulate your marriage", said that man. Then he held her hand very tight.

"Your hand feels so soft ………." said the man. He looked drunk. Before she can say anything further. Something had hit this man at his back. He felt to the ground.

"Don't touch my wife….you bastard!" screamed Haru so angry. Kagome had never seen him like this before.

That man tried to get up and was about to punch Haru. Before he can do that, Haru kicked him first.

"You'd better go before I kill you…." said Haru. He was getting ready to pull out his sword. Suddenly some four men were coming out from the crowd directing their swords to Haru. It must be that man's friends. Kagome can see something dangerous is about to happen. She was rushing to Haru and held his arms.

"Let's go Haru….Leave them alone…." said Kagome.

"Yes…Master Haru ….You'd better go home. Let your wife….stay here with us…." said one of the men. Kagome can see how angry Haru is. He is standing in front of Kagome and blocking her body.

"Haru…." said Kagome scared.

"Don't worry…Kagome. I will protect you….." said Haru impulsively.

Kagome got dizzy now of his comments. Someone also had said the same promise about me in the past. Haru then pulled Kagome at side.

"Wait for me there…." said Haru.

Then he fought with the four men. While the fighting was going on….none really cares to stop it. They kept on partying. Even... Lord Wanabe was not there anymore. She can see everyone is drunk now. Haru defeated all the four men easily. Kagome was so impressed how he can fight so well….

As soon as all the men were lying on the ground unconscious, Haru carried Kagome on his arms in his bridal style. This time Kagome can't take it anymore….the strange and confusing emotions that she has been covered it up… is out now. She cried and screamed out loud……

"Inuyasha………..", then she looked at Haru and closed her eyes.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in the bedroom. She was alone there. She tried to look for Haru. He wasn't there. She started to worry about him. But then he saw him entering the room.

"How do you feel?" said Haru. He is sitting next to her now.

"Thank you….I am fine now", said Kagome sincerely.

"Don't have to thank me….I am your husband now", said Haru.

Suddenly the word "husband" made Kagome realised she has a husband now.

"Why don't you get to sleep…today is a frightening experience for you. I will never take you to that party again…" said Haru apologetically.

"It's not your fault", said Kagome. She then covered her body with the blanket and is about to go to sleep when she realised that Haru will sleep there also with her in the same room. Before she can say anything…

"Don't worry I will not do anything to you. I will sleep there on the corner. You can sleep here", said Haru. He walked away from her. Then both of them go to sleep.

Kagome's mind is wondering away from tonight's experience. She felt for somehow her husband…is a good man and care about her. The only thing that she worried now is her own feeling. She tried not to think about it but she knew it that she started to fall in love with this man. How can she not be? When his appearance look exactly the same as her first love. How could she differentiate between her love to Haru and Inuyasha? How about if Inuyasha came back one day….how she is going to explain to him that she married to his twin? She is so confused of what's going on.

She saw that Haru had already slept. Slowly she approached him. She was sitting close to him and stared at him properly. He looked like Inuyasha especially when with hair down like this. His nose…lips….how could she forget that? But again this man said he is not. Without she realised what she was doing, she put her fingers at Haru's forehead. She runs through her finger from there down his nose, and lips. She can feel how trembling her hands when her finger touched his skin. However, suddenly Haru's eyes was opened and looked at her. She was surprised and got up immediately but before she can do that. Haru's arm was grabbing her.

"What are you doing", he whispered to her.

"Sorry…..I…I….can't sleep….I just want to know…." said Kagome so embarrassed.

"What you want to know…." said Haru so amusingly.

"Are you Inuyasha or not?' said Kagome honestly.

"You called his name before you were unconscious, didn't you? You must love this man so much…that you can't accept that he is gone...now",said Haru in his jealousy tone.

"That's not your business…." said Kagome angry.

"It is my business…you are now my wife. You have to commit only to me", said Haru insistently.

"But….I didn't know you…" said Kagome. She tried to pull her hands from him.

"Since you want to find out….why don't you do it now…." said Haru suddenly. He pulled Kagome towards him and kissed her. When he covered her mouth it was shatteringly intimate, his tongue parting her lips and starting to move around inside her mouth. Kagome couldn't help but realize how aroused they both were.

Now slowly Haru's hand pulled away her night gown. Her creamy flesh naked chest with two beautiful rounded breasts. Her nipples stood proudly awaiting for his attention.

"You are so beautiful ….Kagome…." whispered Haru.

He trailed kissed down her neck and chest. Tempting his way to each nipple in turn, teasingly nipping and licking. Kagome's breath caught as the tenderness of his touch encircled her breasts, each hand kneading softly, fingers travelling the short distance to tweak her nipples. Kagome moaned as her sensitive areas were stimulated. She felt his tongue drift lower; soft kisses attacked her stomach before his hot breath blew across her mound.

"Oh….Inu….yasha!" escaped her lips in broken stutters full–blown lust.

Suddenly Haru stopped and squeezed Kagome's arms tightly.

"Why you have to call that damn name again…?" said Haru annoyingly. He then pulled her away and walked out from the room.

"I…I…..Haru... please wait….." said Kagome with tears on her cheeks.
