Sorry for taking so long to update…--; hopefully I will be able to finish this story soon. .

Sunlight filtered through the window, the glow of warmth cast over the two sleeping figures on the bed, their sorrow figures unmoving.

Eventually the girl stirred. The mass of raven hair reveal a pale and tense face, her concern directed at the sleeping figure of the tall male on the bed. After a moment, she sighed and got up.

Kagome grabbed the keys and walked out of the room and down the corridor of the hotel. She approached the lifts waiting impatiently for the door to open. After a few minute, she gave up and took the stairs instead.

A moment later the same elevator door open and a woman stepped out. Her features alike to girl who had stood at the same spot not a moment ago.

Kikyo took out a piece a paper clutching it firmly in her hand then proceeded to Inuyasha's room.

Kagome held the phone pressing the numbers hesitantly. The phone rang once before it was picked up immediately.

"Kagome? Is that you my dear?"

"Mum…" Kagome cried silently. It had been so long since she heard her voice.

"Kagome where are you? Where have you been lately? I have been so worried!"

"It okay mum, I'll be coming back soon. I am just calling to tell you that I am okay. Please don't worry about me."

"How can I not Kagome?" Ms Higurashi sobbed into the phone. "I lost two daughters in one week, if it wasn't for Kouga and his help I don't know what I would've done!"

"Kouga?" Kagome whispered stunned at what she just heard. "Is Kouga still there?"

"Kagome…Kouga still loves you baby. I don't know if it's right for you to be with Inuyasha, especially seeing as how hurt Kouga was when he saw you guys on TV."

"You all saw us? How can this be?"

"Kagome, almost everyone knows about your story now. Come home when you are ready okay? I am waiting for you."

"Kikyo! What are you doing here?" Inuyasha exclaimed jumping up from the bed.

"I should be asking you the same question Inuyasha. What are you doing here?"

Inuyasha flinch at the tone of her voice. "I am sorry-"

"You are sorry?" Her voice rose. "What are you sorry for? For the pain you cause me by public announcing your love to another? Or maybe because not once have you bothered spending time with me this year since you were too busy looking for your precious Kagome?"

"Kikyo, please understand that what we feel for each other is not love, there is no point to stress this relationship. We will only hurt each other."

"I can' believe you said that Inuyasha. There is feeling between us and I will make sure that we will be together, no matter what!"

Kikyo stomped out of the room slamming the door behind her leaving a shaken Inuyasha behind her.

Kagome looked carefully at the figure from across the street. Her heart thudded when she realised that it was Kikyo. Kagome hurriedly said goodbye to her mother and hang up.

At the same time, the girl caught Kagome's figure, her face turning into a scowl.

Kagome steeled herself as Kikyo approached her.

"Kagome, I am going to make you pay for taking my Inuyasha. Never once in my life have anyone dare to hurt me this much. I will return the pain which you have caused me Kagome, thrice fold if not more."

"Inuyasha doesn't love you Kikyo." Kagome retorted. "He chose me over you and if you were to have any decency left, you would stay away from us."

Kikyo growl then slapped Kagome leaving behind a red handprint.

"You better watch out Kagome because I am not planning to let Inuyasha go so easily. I had him first and I will be his last."

Kikyo grinning at Kagome's shock expression. "Stay away from my guy you bitch!" .

Inuyasha saw Kagome come in the hotel room and instantly got up and walked over.

"What are you doing Inuyasha? You are injured, go back to bed!"

Inuyasha ignored her hugging her tighter instead.

"You meet Kikyo didn't you?" He asked quietly.

"How did you-"

"Don't take her seriously Kagome. Kikyo has always been strong willed so she would not take this easily. But she will eventually accept it, don't give up now."

"I d-don't know if this is right Inuyasha. She looked really upset."

Inuyasha sighed wrapping his arms around her tighter. "This is our happiness you are talking about Kagome. Her pain will not be anywhere near mine if you were to let me go like the way you did before."

Kagome reached for his face searching his eyes and was glad at what she found.

"I love you Inuyasha!" Kagome whispered.

"I love you too Kagome."

Inuyasha leaned down and there lips met. For that one blissful moment Kagome forgot about her troubles and instead focussed on the happiness that was in front of her, ready for her to take and keep forever.

"Kagome!" Ms Higurashi shrieked as she flung back the door and grabbed Kagome.

"Don't you ever dare to leave me like that again Kagome."

"Mom, I am fine please, let go already." Even though she said that, she was glad to see her mother again. Her relief faded altogether when she glimpse someone else standing behind them.

"Kouga…"

"Kagome, nice to see you again." Kouga replied stiffly. He nodded at Inuyasha who was standing behind Kagome then disappeared to the back of the house.

"Ms Higurashi, it's my pleasure to met you." Inuyasha offered his hand to which she ignored.

"I can tell that my daughter love you a lot Inuyasha. However I do not plan to let her throw away her love so easily."

Ms Higurashi stared at him steely, trying to judge to uncomfortable man standing before her.

"Mom…what are you doing?" Kagome hissed.

"Be quite Kagome." She shushed her and then turned back to Inuyasha.

"Kagome have suffered too much because of you Inuyasha, but I know you two belong together and I think you will be able to bring her the happiness she deserves. However…" Her voice rose-

"If you EVER hurt her again, I will make sure that you will never see Kagome again. DO you understand me?"

"Yes Ms Higurashi. I will take good care of her."

"Good." Her face cleared and then surprising both of them, she gave Inuyasha a warm hug and ushered them into the kitchen.

"Are you hungry my dear? Lunch is ready, have it with me before you go anywhere else okay?"

Kagome squeezed Inuyasha's hand nodding at her mom's request. She was happy because her mom had accepted them. The worry in her heart dissipated and so was her hesitation with her relationship with Inuyasha.

Hell, if even her mother approved it, then they must have done something right.

Inuyasha heaved a big sigh of relief.

Kagome's mother was one scary woman.

"-so Inuyasha confessed his love and the rest of the story you already know." Kagome said wrapping her arm around Inuyasha as they sat around the sofa sipping warm tea.

Ms Higurashi smiled a bit then frowned.

"I am no longer uncertain about you and Inuyasha, Kagome. I can tell he is a good guy. However I am worried about this Naraku guy. What if he decides to attack Kagome again?"

"As I said before, I will do everything I can to protect her." Inuyasha replied with feeling.

"That I already know, but it is hard not to worry when you daughter is being hunted by a mad man."

"Mom, we are still not sure yet who Naraku is after. After all, none of his attacks were directly aimed at me, maybe he isn't even aware of me yet."

Inuyasha stiffen. "We can be certain that he is aware of you Kagome."

Kagome looked at him worried. "He would have found out everything about you by now. As long as it's someone important to me, he will know about."

"Well, he'll just have to face both of us then. There is no way I am going to let him get off easily for shooting at us and putting a bullet through you Inuyasha." She said hotly.

"What!!" Ms Higurashi exclaimed. "You certainly didn't mention that in you story Kagome!"

"Opps…" Kagome replied meekly cowering under both her mom and Inuyasha's glared.

"God dammit Kagome…How bloody long do we have to take to convince your mother this time?" He growled under his breath.

"Until I am convinced that Kagome will be safe - which seems to be extremely unlikely at the moment!"

Kouga frowned angrily. That arse hole. What did Inuyasha have that he didn't?
He can't understand why Kagome would choose someone like Inuyasha over him.

Deep in thought, he was unaware of Ayame who had stopped walking.
"What are you doing lagging so far behind?" He snapped when he realised the she wasn't beside him.

Ayame narrowed her eyes. "You were thinking about Kagome weren't you?"

Kouga stiffened then sighed exasperated. "What the hell are you thinking about Ayame, why would I be thinking of her?"

"Because Kagome came back didn't she?" Ayame snarled. "With her pretty boy Inuyasha as well.."

"Ayame, I am warning you. Don't speak of Kagome in that way."

"Or what? Are you going to hit me?" She yelled.

"I can't understand this Kouga. Why do you still care about someone who doesn't give a shit about you while you turn a blind eye to those who do?."

Ayame walked up to him and shoved him back roughly.

"Where was she when you needed her most huh? Did she ever give you a chance to show her your love? No, she did not because she doesn't like you! Wake up Kouga, she will never love you no matter what!"

"Shut up you bitch. I don't know about Kagome but I know that will definitely never like someone like you!" He yelled back and ran off angrily.

I am going to get Kagome, "NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!" He screamed out loud still running.

Ayame sank to her knees sobbing uncontrollably. She had lost Kouga again and it was Kagome's fault - again.
