Ending of last chapter:

"For the rest of the night Kagome, and Inuyasha enjoyed themselves, with their friends. They left the ball around 2:30am. Hojo, Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri all went to their hotel rooms, and the others piled into a taxi to go home. As they walked into the house Kagome heard Sesshomaru, Amy and her mother in the living room, but she decided to go right to bed with Inuyasha. She really didn't feel like getting into any big conversations right now. Despite the fact that Kagome had been almost raped again, she had a good night. A little while later Kagome and Inuyasha were snuggling in bed. Tomorrow was Christmas eve, and they had a lot to do.

Chapter 21 Surprises

" 8:25 am "

Kagome awoke from her deep slumber, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see amber ones staring back at her. She flashed a smile to her future mate, and then started to get out of the bed, but before she could do so Inuyasha pulled her into his arms, and kissed her on the lips. He flipped Kagome over so he was on top of her, she giggled and kissed Inuyasha back. He nibbled her bottom lip and Kagome surprised Inuyasha by licking one of his fangs. Kagome's hand went to the top of Inuyasha head and started to gently rub his ear. A low purr was passed into Kagome's mouth, but was swallowed by more kisses. They broke apart panting for air, but Kagome keep up her torture attack on Inuyasha's ear. Inuyasha's hands were entangled in Kagome's raven hair, he gently pulled her head back, exposing her neck and he kissed her pulse points. A jolt of electricity rushed through Kagome's body. Inuyasha's kisses became rougher, he pulled Kagome night shirt over her head and through it on the floor next to the bed. He trailed kisses down over her breasts and stomach, earning a small moan from Kagome. Kagome nibbled lightly on Inuyasha's ear, this drove him over the edge. His blood started to run faster, and his heart pumped wildly. He pulled away from Kagome, and sat on the other side of the bed. Kagome sat up on her elbows and looked over at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha what's wrong?" Kagome asked crawling over to him, forcing him to turn towards her.

"Kagome we can't do this." He muttered and he turned his back to her. Kagome wrapped her arms around him.

"You are being stupid Inuyasha, we can do what we wan.." Inuyasha cut Kagome off.

"Just shut up, you don't know.." Inuyasha shouted. Kagome pulled away, he had never yelled at her like this, she looked in his eyes as he turned to face her, she caught a flash of red. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome she looked like she had been slapped across the face. Inuyasha got up and walked into the closet, got changed and left the room. He left Kagome crying on the bed.

Inuyasha walked through the halls of the mansion trying to find a quiet place to think. He never meant to shout at Kagome like that, or to hurt her. He could help it, if they had to go any further...Inuyasha stopped outside of a door, for some odd reason he was drawn to it, he opened the door and found Sesshomaru reading a book near a fire place. Inuyasha shut the door as he entered the room. He sat across from his half brother and looked around the room. It was filled with books of all kinds, some looked to be dated back at least 500 years. Sesshomaru put down his book and waited for his brother to speak. He could tell something was bothering him, but it was up to Inuyasha whether he wanted to share or not.

"I fucked up bad." Inuyasha finally said.

"How so?" Sesshomaru crocked his eye brow.

"I yelled at Kagome, she looked like I slapped her."

"And?"

"I left her crying in our room." Inuyasha sighed, he really wasn't in the mood to tell his problems to his brother, but he had no one else to help him.

"That's cold, why did you yell at Kagome?" Sesshomaru knew why, but he found it amusing to hear it from his brother.

"There are a couple of reasons, but the main one is we can't have sex until after we destroy Naraku. If one of his minions smelt me off Kagome, he would use her to get to me. I can't image what he would do to her."

"You could have easily told her that Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said, while rolling his eyes.

"But that's not all, I starting to lose control over my demon side, I can't let that happen, it would take her, not caring about the circumstances." Inuyasha sighed again.

"That can simply be resolved." Sesshomaru stated.

"How?"

"Mark her, that way you demon side will be content with the fact that you are bound together by the marks, and no can touch her, but you." Sesshomaru said, with that he got up to leave.

"Sesshomaru how.."

"If you think your demon side is hard to control, try being a full demon. Now go talk to her." Sesshomaru left the room. Inuyasha sat for a while thinking of how to beg for Kagome's forgiveness.

Sesshomaru walked down the hallway to his room, he opened the door, shut it behind him and locked it. Amy was lying in bed relaxing.

"What's the matter with Inuyasha now?" She asked.

"He was having trouble controlling his horny demon side." Sesshomaru chuckled.

"I wouldn't laugh if I was you. I remember a very horny demon, that didn't like the fact that he had to wait. He even punched holes in the walls." She smiled at Sesshomaru.

"Rin, my Rin, I remember oh to well. That was your 17 birthday, a year after I asked you to be my mate." Sesshomaru got into bed with his love.

"Say it again." Rin asked.

"Say what?"

"My name."

"Rin." Sesshomaru hissed playfully into her ear. Rin kissed him on the lips.

"I hate the fact that we have to hide behind my friends back."

"You know we have to, we have no other choice."

"I know, it's just I hate it that's all."

"You are to honest Rin." Sesshomaru kissed Rin on the lips again this time with more passion.

Inuyasha walked back to his and Kagome's room. He had thought of a way to ask for forgiveness, it was now just a matter if she would forgive him or not. He carried a rose in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. He saw their door come into view, he walked up to it slowly, he stood outside the door for a second. He was afraid to go in, he wasn't sure what Kagome was going to do.

He knock on the door, no one answered, he knock again, and again no one answered. Inuyasha opened the door, and looked around the room. Nothing had changed, but he saw Kagome on the bed crying. Inuyasha rushed to her side and pulled her into his arms. Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's eyes, they were soft and gentle.

"Kagome I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get angry with you." Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, he wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"Why?" Was all Kagome said.

"Kagome we can't have sex until after Naraku's dead, if he found out that we were mates, he would use that to his advantage. I couldn't bare to lose you." Inuyasha stopped for a second, Kaogme was about to speak but he put his fingers to her lips. "Don't say anything yet, there's more. My demontic side is trying to take over, it wants to take you here and now. I can't let that happen." Inuyasha wiped the last of Kagome's tears away.

"Inuyasha.."

"Wait I'm not finished yet!" Kagome looked at him strangely. Inuyasha got off the bed and got on his knees on the floor. He pulled out a piece of paper, and handed her the rose.

"Kagome I don't know how to ask you for your forgiveness, but here is what I promise to you." With this, Inuyasha passed the paper to Kagome.

On it, she read, "1) I will always love you

2) If I ever shout at you again you can sit me a 1000 times

3) For every tear that you shed I will replace them with kisses

4) I will try to be honest with you for now on"

"I love you with all my heart, will you please forgive me" Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, she was smiling, another tear ran down her face. She couldn't believe that Inuyasha was being so sensitive.

"Of course I will." Kagome flung her arms around Inuyasha.

"Kagome will you let me mark you?" Inuyasha ask nervously.

"Yes." Inuyasha got off his knees and got back onto the bed. He pulled Kagome into his lap, so that she was facing and her legs were behind Inuyasha.

"Kagome once I mark you there is no turning back. You are my mate until death comes upon one of us. Do you understand these conditions?" Inuyasha looked into Kagome's eyes, there was not a trace of doubt in them.

"Yes I do." Kagome's smile grew wider.

"Are you sure?" Inuyasha asked once more.

"Yes already, now what do we have to do?" Kagome asked, she was a bit nervous.

"First I have to mark your neck, that's the first mark the second is on your hip, but that will have to wait until later." At first Kagome didn't know why he couldn't do both the marks now but then she understood.

"Kagome this might hurt, so prepare yourself." Kagome took a deep breath, she had heard some stories about how demons marked their mates. One she heard that they would bite just above a females, well you know , so no other demon would touch her. Others would cut symbols into the flesh of the females, and if another male touched her inappropriately, it would start to burn.

Kaogme was glad Inuyasha's mating rituals were not as bad as them, but if they had to be, she would have done anything to be with Inuyasha. Inuyasha pushed the hair away from Kagome's neck, she took a deep breath, and Inuyasha plunged his fangs into Kagome soft skin. Kagome's breathing became heavy, her heart rate sped up and her vision went blurry. Jolts of pain coursed through her veins, but they didn't hurt to much. Inuyasha pulled his fangs from Kagome's neck, and licked the blood from the wound. Within a couple of seconds a scar started to appear, it looked like a crescent moon, just like the one on Sesshomaru's head. Kagome put her head on to Inuyasha's shoulders. She felt content, she was on a natural high.

"Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked.

"Never been better, what's next?" She asked.

"Well you have to mark my neck and that will bind us." Inuyasha said simply.

"But how am I suppose to do that?" But then Kagome looked at her hand, her finger nails are pretty sharp. She took her fore finger and pointer and pressed them against the skin on Inuyasha's neck. After she knew they would leave a mark, she did as Inuyasha did and licked all the blood from her fingers and his neck. She watched as a crescent moon scar appeared on his neck. Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a passionate kiss. They broke apart.

"We are now bonded together by our blood and souls." Inuyasha said quietly. The air in the room seemed to glow an ere pink, mixed with blue.

"Inuyasha, I love you." Kagome said, as she and Inuyasha lid back in the bed.

"I love you too." Inuyasha kissed Kagome, but were interrupted by a knock on the door. Inuyasha really wanted to say Fuck off to who ever was out there, but he decided to just answer the door. Kagome let out a long sigh, this was suppose to be there alone time.

"Inuyasha just tell them to go away." Kagome said devilishly.

"OK." Inuyasha opened the door to revel Kagome's little brother.

"Hey Inuyasha are you coming down for breakfast?" Sota asked.

"In a little while." Inuyasha said.

"I wouldn't be to long until Mike and Jordan are already down and they have as big of appetite as you." With that Sota was gone.

"Come on Inuyasha lets go get some breakfast and then we'll get cleaned up." Kagome said getting off the bed.

"I rather stay here for a while." Kagome nearly dropped to the floor, Inuyasha was giving up food for her. "But I see our moment has been ruined, come on lets go get some breakfast." Kagome took Inuyasha's hand in her's and they went to the kitchen.

They walked into the kitchen to see everyone eating and talking. Inuyasha sat down next to his brother and for a second it seemed like they were actually family. Kagome sat down next to Inuyasha and took some food from a tray for her and Inuyasha. Andrea who was sitting to the right of Kagome noticed the mark on Kaogme's next. She tapped Kagome on the shoulder and whispered into her ear.

"Are you and Inuyasha are mates!" She sounded really excited.

"Ya, I'll tell you about it later." Kagome said back.

Everyone went on eating, Kagome excused her self to go to the bathroom, and for some strange reason Inuyasha followed her. She hauled him into the bathroom and shut the door quickly, and locked it. Inuyasha smirked at Kagome, and she kissed him on the lips.

"You couldn't wait until after breakfast to do that?" Inuyasha hissed in her ear.

"No, I also have something to ask you. Are we going to tell our friends and families now that we are officially mates, or are we going to wait until later?" Kagome wasn't sure what Inuyasha wanted to do.

"Well Sesshomaru, and his family know. They can sense it, so we might as well."

When they got back to the table everyone was done, Sesshomaru, Amy and Margaret had left the table, and gone into the living room to finish off some last minute preparations for tonight. They were having a small Christmas eve party, just with family and close friends.

"Inuyasha you dog you!" Mike shouted as him and Kagome entered the room.

"Keep down tonight you two!" Jordan howled, Kagome's face glowed a bright red, but Inuyasha just smirked.

"Jordan, shut up. " Aalyah hissed, she wanted to torture Kagome later.

"Well I guess they already know." Inuyasha chuckled.

"Know what?" Sota asked.

"Well, Inuyasha and I are now mates." Kagome smiled at her little brother.

"It's about time." Sota said, Kagome sweat dropped.

"What do you mean it's about time?" Inuyasha looked at Sota.

"Well you and Kagome were always fighting, and then you would make up, so you could plainly see that you loved each other. How could you be so blind for so long!" With that Sota got up and went to go find his mother.

"He makes it seem so simple." Inuyasha said and sat down next to Mike and Andrea.

"So what do you guys want to do?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome gave Inuyasha a peck on the lips.

"You call that a kiss?" Inuyasha growled, he pulled Kagome into his laps and passionately kissed her.

"We all know what Inuyasha wants to do!" Mike and Jordan said in unison.

"Well put Mike." Jordan said.

"Why thank you Jordan, but I think you said it better." Mike replied.

"If you boys are done acting so childish." Aalyah glared at her boyfriend, then she turned to Inuyasha. "Actually Inuyasha, us girls have to go finish off wrapping some gifts, so we will see you later." With that Andrea and Aalyah pulled Kagome out of Inuyasha's arms and went upstairs.

"What gifts are you talking about?" Kagome said. She thought she wrapped all the gifts, except for Inuyasha. "Shit, I forgot about Inuyasha's gifts."

"Well, we will help you wrap them." Andrea said.

"And you can tell us about the mark!" Aalyah added with a giggle.

They go to Kagome's room, a note had been laid on Kagome's bed, she read it and then put it away. Then all three jumped on the now made bed and started to wrap gifts. Kagome told them about the morning events, well not all of it. She left out some of the personal stuff.

"That's so sweet. Can we see the list?" Andrea asked.

"I don't see why not, just don't say anything to Inuyasha. He might get embarrassed, or mad." Kagome giggled as she pulled the list from her bed side table.

"Kagome this is romantic." Aalyah sighed.

"He is a different hanyou, when we are not around the group, he is sweet, kind, romantic, and loving. Then when we are back travelling with our friends, he seems distancing, and rude." Kagome turned her head from her friends. ' They don't need to hear this.' Kagome thought.

"From the sounds of it, he is just trying to hide his feelings towards you from the others." Aalyah said thoughtfully.

"I agree, he also seems to be protecting you, by doing this." Andrea added.

"I think you two are right." Kagome smiled, at her friends. They seem so understanding towards her relationship with Inuyasha. "Come, lets finish off the gift wrapping." Kagome said cheerfully.

Kagome looked in the bottom of the last shopping bag, what she found was not what she expected. It was the lingerie that the girls teased her about in the mall. She looked at Andrea and Aalyah, they looked like they were ready to bust. Kagome's face grew a deep shade of red.

"Did you two have anything to do with this?" Kagome, knowing fully only they could be behind it.

"Well we thought that you and Inuyasha should have some fun this Christmas." Andrea said trying her best not to giggle.

"Ya, but try to keep it down, some of us like to sleep during the night." With that Andrea and Aalyah could not longer suppress their laughter, at first Kagome was angry at them but she soon joined in.

Down stairs Inuyasha was listening to Mike and Jordan tell stories about, well everything. He could barely breath because he was laughing so hard. Mike got up and started to do a dance that Jordan did when he won an award in Kumite(Fighting) at the nationals last year. Both Jordan and Mike were third degree black belts in Karate, they were also trained with swords, bo-staffs, and other Japanese weapons.

"Me and Jordan are like brothers. My parents are good friends with his, so it was natural for us to become friends." Mike said.

"Why aren't you spending Christmas with you family then?" Inuyasha asked, he didn't know much about Mike.

"They went to Germany for Christmas, every couple of years they go somewhere for a vacation and this was the only time they could go. I'm not complaining though I have a second family to spend Christmas with."

"Hey, why don't we go to the combat room." Jordan suggested.

"Let's go." Inuyasha had been itching for a good fight lately.

Inuyasha followed Jordan and Mike down a series of hallways until they finally reached what they were looking for. When they walked in and Inuyasha's eyes popped out of his head. There were every type of weapon imaginable, new and old. You could go through simulations, lift weights, practice your hand-eye coordination, and much more. Just as Inuyasha was about to go change Sesshomaru walked in.

"Inuyasha you need to come with me now." He commanded. Inuyasha didn't argue, he just signalled to the guys he had to leave, and followed Sesshomaru to the front hallway.

"That's the last one." Andrea said. They finished wrapping all their gifts.

"Ummm girls I got to go see my mom. I'll see you later." Vague suspicions and uneasiness played on the edges of Kagome's mind. Her mother had left a note on the bed saying for her to meet her in the front hallway in 30 minutes. Kagome couldn't imagine what could be up.

She walked swiftly to the front hallway, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Margaret were already there. She slowed, and stopped just in front of Inuyasha, he took her hand in his. Sesshomaru motion them to follow him and they did. He lead them out side to an waiting helicopter. Kagome gazed at it for a moment before moving.

'What's going on?' Kagome asked herself in her head.

'I don't know mate.' Kagome's eyes widened, she just heard Inuyasha's voice in her head. She looked at Inuyasha who was looking at her. Kagome was possitive, this time she and Inuyasha were reading each others minds.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha muttered.

"We have to talk now." Kagome said to him. Inuyasha helped Kagome up into the helicopter and they were off.

"So Sesshomaru were are we going?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome was sitting next to him, who was across from Margaret, and Sesshomaru was sitting next to her.

"To Kagome's father office, we had some business to attend to there." Kagome blanched, her heart start to beat uncontrollably, and she couldn't catch her breath. All thoughts of what happened a few minutes ago left her mind, her eyes started to water, but no tears fell.

"Kagome dear what's the matter?" Margaret look worried, she didn't know if they should be doing this now. It could effect Kagome's recovery, she was doing so well. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome and got her to put her head between her knees to help her catch her breath. Inuyasha ran his hand over her back, Kagome started to calm down and relax. She sat up again, and leaned her head on Inuyasha's shoulder, and looked at her mother, and Sesshomaru. They have been keeping information from her since she first arrived home and she was fed up with it. Tonight Sesshomaru would tell her everything, from start to finish.

"Sir, we are just about to land." The pilot said to Sesshomaru.

"Thank you." Kagome looked out the window, she could see the enormous building that housed her father's company. A bright red K & S was mounted on top of the building. The pilot landed the air craft with out any trouble. Each person filed out one by one, Sesshomaru lead the way again.

A few minutes later Kagome was in front of her father's office, no one had been in their since he died. She stepped towards the door, she could feel Inuyasha's hand on her shoulder, she took the key that Sesshomaru had just given her, and un locked the door, it opened with no problem.

The room wasn't one bit dusty, it helps when you have the best air ventilation system in the world. The room hadn't changed one bit, it looked exactly as it had when Kagome had last seen it.

"Do what you need to do, then get out." Kagome said coldly. Sesshomaru took no offense from Kagome's tone, this was extremely hard for her, he understood why. Sesshomaru walked over to the desk and opened it, he pulled out some papers. They seemed to be what he was looking for so he left the room right away with Margaret.

"Lets give her some time alone in here." Sesshomaru whispered to Margaret, she nodded her head and followed him out the door, making sure she closed it all the way.

"Are you all right?" Inuyasha's voice was soft.

"No, Inuyasha I'm not all right, for once I'm not going to lie. This hurts, they didn't have to do this to me today. I just want to be happy for one day, but it seems as if fate doesn't want me to be." Kagome was leaning on a wall, she pounded on it with her fists. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks. "I just want him to be alive again, I want to hear his voice, his laugh, and see his smile. They didn't have to take him away from me. They didn't..." Kagome was now on the floor, Inuyasha had taken her into his arms. Kagome hands were turning a deep red slightly, Inuyasha knew how Kagome felt, he had also lost his mother at a young age. The only reason being was because she married a demon and gave birth to a half demon.

Kagome looked across the room and saw a door. She got up and walked towards it. Each step she took seemed to take all her energy, Kagome reached out for the handle to open it, at first it wouldn't move but suddenly the door swung open. Inuyasha was now behind Kagome, her hand in his. Kagome walked forward into the darkness, she felt the walls looking for a light switch but found now.

"Where's the damn light switch?" At that, the lights came on, Inuyasha was amazed, but said nothing.

"Kagome what is this place?" Kagome looked around, when she was a child, this placed looked as if it was for making candy, but now she knew. It was a research lab.

"It's a lab." Kagome voice was shaking uncontrollably, she was scared and excited at the same time.

"Look Kagome there is a TV across the room." Inuyasha pointed to it, and then followed Kagome as she went straight for it. A tape was still in the VCR after all these years, Kagome pushed play, and a man appear on the screen.

"Dad!" Kagome couldn't hold back her tears.

"Baby K if you are watching this tape then I am no longer with you, this room has been enchanted so that once I died only you could open the door. I am sorry that I missed the past ten years of you life, I know you are now 18, and in your last year of high school. My Baby K has grown up.

This room was built to research Miko's and their powers. I wanted to know everything I could, so I could train you to be able to defend yourself at a young age. Many people would and will kill to have your powers Baby K, remember that always. If I had to find out sooner on how your powers worked I might still be alive today, but don't blame yourself. I have left two other tapes here for your mother and brother, please make sure they get them. I know later you will be thinking I could save you, but don't try. Kagome let fate run it's course." The man on the tape looked past the camera and nodded his head. More tears ran down Kagome's face. "Inuyasha take care of my baby, and congratulations on becoming mates. I am proud of you both! Please be careful when returning to your era Inuyasha. I love you Baby K! Stay true, pure and loving..." With that the tape ended.

Kagome couldn't speak, she never expected something like this. How did her father know all this? How could he have known about Inuyasha and her? Kagome grabbed the tape from the VCR and the other two that were next to it, she turn around and walked from the room.

"Kagome." Inuyasha followed her out the door, she shut it and then went out the office door. Sesshomaru and her mother were at the other end of the hall talking. She walked past them in the hall and went straight for the door, that lead to the roof. Once there, Inuyasha lifted Kagome up into the helicopter, and waited for Sesshomaru and Margaret.

By the time they returned to the mansion, it was 1:30 pm. Everyone was sitting down to their dinner. Kagome went over to Sota and told him to follow her. Terry lead them to a game room, Kagome went over to the t.v, and VCR and popped Sota's tape in. Again Kagome's father appeared on the screen. He spoke to Sota, he told him to be strong and take care of his mother, and other stuff like that. When the tap finished Kagome handed the other one to her mother. She put her hand on Sota's shoulder, tears ran down his cheeks but he said nothing.

Inuyasha stood behind Kagome with his arms wrapped around her waist, he whispered calming words into her ears. After they were all done watching the tapes, everyone sat around just staring off into space. Sota was sitting on the floor, he stopped crying, and was now just looking at his feet. Margaret couldn't keep her tears from falling, she couldn't help it, such a long time without hearing your husbands voice or see his face can take its toll on a person. She was sitting in a chair, as for Kagome she was sitting on a couch, her head was buried into Inuyasha's shirt.

"After all this time." Margaret finally said. "If I had known there were something left for you two I would have gotten it."

"Mom, there was a reason for all this, dad didn't want us to find the taps until now. Don't beat yourself up on it." Kagome was lying down with her head on Inuyasha's stomach.

"It seems as if this was our presents from your father."

"You're right mom." Kagome smiled at her mother, she always knew some way to make everything better.

"We still have each other, no matter what happens." Margaret smiled and wiped the last of her tears.

Kagome looked up at her mate, and blow him a kiss.

"Why don't we go get some food?" Margaret asked.

"I'm starved, I never really ate this morning." Kagome got up and followed her mother to the kitchen, but Inuyasha stayed seated. He noticed that Sota never said a word, which was unusual for him.

"I forgot what his voice sounded like." Sota said quietly.

"Kid you were too young to remember your father." Inuyasha spoke for the first time.

"I should have remember his voice." Sota pounded the floor.

"Sota let me tell you something, I lost my father when I was 5 years old. I can't really remember anything about him." Inuyasha messed up Sota's hair. "Come on let's go and find your sister and eat." Both Inuyasha and Sota went right for the Kitchen.

The rest of the day was spent having fun, and relaxing. Kagome seemed to be happier now, her face glowed and her smile was bright. The one thing that had been nagging at her for most her life was now at peace. Knowing that her father died in peace or he at least accepted his death. Tomorrow was Christmas day and it would be a exciting day. While in the kitchen everyone sat around talking about the tapes, Kagome didn't mind, she loved the fact that she had someone to share with.

"So you feel more at peace now?" Aalyah asked.

"Ya, it's just the feeling that has been sitting in my stomach for all these years just disappeared."

"Wow that's so strange." Andrea shook her head.

Later on that night a Christmas party was held in the mansion. There was excitement around the mansion, the servants were even excited. Kagome stood in front of her bathroom mirror, checking herself over making sure that nothing was out of place. She wanted to look perfect tonight, she was wearing a crimson red dress that came just below her knees, and cut low enough to reveal some of Kagome's cleavage, but not enough to make her sluttish. Inuyasha came up behind her, and kissed her neck.

"You look stunning as ususal." Inuyasha placed another kiss on Kagome neck, sending cold shivers down her spine.

"Stop we are going to be late for the party." Kagome whined.

"You sure you want to go, we could just stay here." Kagome turned around in Inuyasha's arms.

"This morning you wouldn't hear of..." Inuyasha pressed his lips against Kagome's, she shut up instantly and kissed him back. They broke away from each other and Kagome stared into Inuyasha's eyes. "Come on, let's go."

"Feh, whatever." Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand and they went down stairs to the living room. When they entered Kagome was shocked, the room had been transformed. A Christmas tree stood in the corner of he room. It was about 11 feet high and had white and gold decorations on it. The room seemed to be glowing, and a small band was playing on the other side of the room.

"Lets go find Sesshomaru and have a chat."

"Whatever." Kagome glared at Inuyasha, he was starting to get on her nerves with all the 'whatevers'. "Look he's over there next to the fire place." Inuyasha pointed out. Kagome pulled Inuyasha with her as she walked towards Sesshomaru.

"Good evening Kagome, my don't you look beautiful." Kagome blushed lightly.

"Sesshomaru tell us what's going on?" Inuyasha asked bluntly.

"I guess you both have a right to know. Kagome, before your father died I helped him make a tape for you and your family. I don't know how he got the information , but he got it. He told me that you would be home this Christmas and I would have to take you to his office, there you would know what to do and I was suppose to get some paper work from his desk.. That's all I know right now, but I am sure soon I will be able to tell you more, from the documents I got from there today."

"That's it, he told you nothing else." Kagome looked into Sesshomaru's eyes they seem to be warm.

"Yes, he told me nothing else. I am sorry I can't help you more."

"Thank you very much Sesshomaru, you have answered some of my questions. Oh, I just remembered, umm me and Inuyasha have been experiencing telepathic communication between us. Any ideas?" Kagome asked.

"I read about this once, when a bond between to people becomes so strong they have the ability to communicate telepathically, now I am not saying you will be able to do this all the time, but I guess you will have to wait to see. Now I must go find my wife." Sesshomaru bowed towards Kagome and Inuyasha and left them alone.

"Inuyasha it always seems to happen to us." Kagome laugh a little, it could come in handy sometime.

"Hey Kagome, Inuyasha." Andrea said as her, Aalyah, Mike and Jordan joined Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Hi guys. Andrea and Aalyah you to look beautiful." Kagome said.

"You look hot yourself." Andrea said.

"So are you liking this party so far?" Aalyah asked.

"Ya, but we have only been her for about 15 minutes."

"Oh, so what time do you think Sota is going to wake us up in the morning?" Mike questioned Kagome.

"Oh I say about 5:00." Kagome giggled.

"Hey do you want to go dance?" Jordan asked his girl friend.

"Ya, you guys coming?"

"I guess we will join you." Mike said and lead Andrea to the dance floor.

"Want to dance?" Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, she wasn't looking to well.

"I really don't feel like dancing." Kagome told Inuyasha.

"Do you want something to drink?" Inuyasha asked.

"Ya, that would be great." Inuyasha pecked Kagome on the lips and walked towards the buffet table.

Kagome stood there and listened to the soft music that was being play, She heard something behind her and turned around, her jaw dropped...
