Chapter 5- We Have Lift Off!

"InuYasha?"

"Umm… no?" InuYasha said. Kagome took off his sunglasses and hat to reveal his disguise. "It is you! Why are you here? Where's Gramps? And," Kagome's voice went down to a whisper, "why are you still human?"

"I should be asking the questions! Why didn't you tell me you were going overseas, huh? Why did I have to hear it from everyone else, when I should of heard it from you?"

"I…" Kagome was surprised, she never seen him so serious, yet sincere. "Why did you lie to me?" InuYasha said, letting his voice get lower and sounding more sincere.

"I…"

"You what? I thought you loved me, huh? I'll give up Kikyo for you! I'd do anything for you! At least I'll tell you the truth! You know why? I love you, that's why. And ever since last night, I thought you loved me, too. But I guess you don't…" Kagome's lips cut off InuYasha lecture. "Kagome!" Ms. H. said, "People are looking."

InuYasha slid down in his seat and took a deep sigh, and so did Kagome. "Ewww… InuYasha you're gonna catch something from her." Sota said in disgust. Kagome smacked him in the face. "Ladies and Gentlemen… please fasten your seatbelts. We are ready for lift off." The pilot announced.

"WHO THE HELL WAS THAT!" InuYasha yelled.

"It was just the pilot who's fling the plane, don't worry." Kagome said.

"Okay, but he wants me to do what with my what?" InuYasha's yelling attracted a stewardess, she came up to him and asked, "Is this your first time on a plane?"

"Umm… yea…" he answered. So she helped him put on his seatbelt it on him. Kagome was really upset because she thought that it really wasn't necessary, "Umm… Thanks, but he's a big boy. He can handle it." She said moving the stewardess' hand away from his legs.

"Umm… okay. If you need anything, and I mean anything, my name is Himeko." She said winking at InuYasha.

"Is there something wrong with your eye?" he asked. Himeko became offended and walked away. "Oh, Himeko got the 'hots' for InuYasha!" Sota said.

"Yea, and she needs to go somewhere and cool off…" Kagome said obviously mad.

"I'm sure InuYasha could do her the honors." Sota said. InuYasha just sat there not knowing he was just flirted with.

Suddenly the airplane started shaking, the moving, and finally it was in the air. "InuYasha? What's going on? Why did Gramps give you his ticket?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome, you're not going to a family gathering, you're going to meet… your fiancé." InuYasha said.

"What? You're kidding!"

"Would I kid about this? Would I run like hell to catch a plane, for fun? Would I put on your grandfather's 'too small' suits, making me feel like an idiot, for kicks!"

"You might…"

"You have got to be kidding me!"

"He's telling the truth, Kagome," Ms. H. interrupted. "I was going to tell you when you were going to meet him there."

"Great. You mean everyone knows I'm getting married except me!" Kagome yelled.

"Well, think of it this way, the cat doesn't know… so now you have someone to be clueless with." Sota said

"Shut up Sota, I'm serious" Kagome snapped.

"Don't worry, Kagome. I won't let someone make you their mate!" InuYasha said.

"InuYasha…" Kagome sighed. After all that I put you through, you'll still stay with me? He trusted me. And I lied to him. Yet, he still wants to protect me. I don't deserve him. She thought.

"Umm… can I speak to you InuYasha?" Ms. H. asked. Her and InuYasha went to the back of the plane and found two empty seats. "What is it?" InuYasha asked.

"We can't tell Kagome about the consequences of her rejecting the engagement." Ms. H. said

"WHAT!" he yelled, "You don't want me to tell Kagome that if she doesn't marry this guy, they'll kill her?"

"I'll tell her when the time is right."

"Oh, like before? When you 'told' her about the engagement in the first place."

"That was different…"

"Whatever." InuYasha got up, but Ms. H. grabbed his hand. "Please don't tell Kagome. That's the only favor I ask."

"Yea… whatever."


Hours later the plane landed, and a man with brown hair and hazel eyes wearing a sweat shirt and jeans had held up a sign the said 'Higurashi family' "We are the Higurashi family, who are you?" Ms. H. said.

"I'm your cousin Jack." He said.

"Oh, we spoke on the phone! Kids this is Jack. Jack, these are your cousins Sota and Kagome, and this is Kagome's friend InuYasha."

"Hello to you all. Umm… Can I ask you a question Mr. InuYasha?"

"Yea… what?" InuYasha answered.

"Is that the only suit you have?"

"Yea… why?"

"Well, while I'm taking you all on a tour around California, we can go shopping for you."

"That's great! Do you want to InuYasha?" Kagome asked.

"Anything's better than wearing that Tiny Tim outfit." Sota said.

"Sure, why not?" InuYasha agreed.

"Good, let's go then!" Jack said.
