-sob- thank you to all who reviewed, it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside :D

I know, I'm a loser, ha-ha! Enjoy chapter seven!


"Ahhhhh!" Kagome stretched as she slowly opened her sleepy eyes. She turned her head, expecting to see her alarm clock digitally telling her what time it was. But to her surprise, she saw the bottom of Inuyasha's TV. She shot up and something silver flew off her stomach and groaned.

"Kagome!" realizing that Inuyasha had been using her stomach as a pillow, she giggled and apologized.

"Sorry Inuyasha, I didn't know you were there…" Inuyasha sat up and smiled at her, and Kagome remembered why she had woken up on Inuyasha's floor.

"I'm sorry, did I fall asleep here? I didn't mean to cause you any trouble-"

"Don't be stupid, you didn't cause any trouble. Besides, I fell asleep to." Inuyasha said, standing up from the floor. Kagome looked around and sweat dropped. There were bags of junk food strewn all around the living room floor along with empty soda cans. Come to think of it, She felt a nagging pain at her stomach

"Aw dammit, I think I have a stomach ache…and I have to go to class today too!" Kagome's eyes flew open. "Oh my god class! What time is it!" She scrambled to her feet, grabbing her car keys while glancing at the clock. It read 8:06 a.m.

"Dammit! My class starts in half an hour and I live 20 minutes away from you! I'll have no time to get ready!" Inuyasha watched with amusement while Kagome was freaking out.

"Do you have to go today?" he asked in a cool tone. Kagome whirled around

"Of course I do! I can't miss class, I would be so far behind, oh, and we have a lab today also," she groaned.

"Well first, you can't go in a raspberry crème filled shirt." Kagome looked down and realized he was right. Her clothes were a mess.

"Here" She looked up and Inuyasha handed her one of his shirts.

"Ah! I couldn't really,"

"You're going to be late…" Kagome glanced at the clock 8:10. She grabbed the shirt and ran into the bathroom to change. Meanwhile Inuyasha looked around for her backpack. She had brought it over yesterday, saying that she was going to try and do her homework while she was cleaning the house. After a couple minutes he found it in Shippou's room, and as he walked out Kagome cried out frantically, "I can't find my backpack!" Inuyasha tapped her on the shoulder and handed it to her. She grinned widely and gave him a kiss on the cheek as thanks. She rushed out the door, calling out after her that she would be back around 8:00 for dinner. Inuyasha stood, rooted to the spot, grinning like a schoolboy. 'She kissed me!' He growled and shook his head. 'It was just on the cheek…you're acting like she nailed you.' Still, he couldn't help but feel butterflies in his stomach as he started to clean up the living room yet again.


"Miss Higurashi! I suggest you keep awake in my class, lest you would like to be removed permanently from it!" Kagome's head shot up and she blushed deeply.

"Sorry." She sighed as she felt her eyes feel heavy once more. She had guessed that she fell asleep around 3 am, so she hadn't gotten much sleep. She willed herself to stay awake as she heard a chuckle come from behind her. 'Hm? I don't remember anyone ever sitting behind me…' She made sure the teacher was babbling on about cell division before she turned around curiously. 'Oh my god he's beautiful' Kagome almost dropped out of her chair. She was looking at a man who must have been about 25. Like Inuyasha, he had long, flowing silver hair. He was clad in a black business suit that clashed harshly with the golden orbs you call eyes. Come to think of it, they were the same colors as Inuyasha's also. The man had a sharp, yet soft face, with two purple stripes on the sides of his cheeks. He had milky white skin, and delicate hands.

"Can I help you, Miss Higurashi?" the man said, his voice almost like a purr. It was deep and silky almost. Kagome blinked and realized she had been staring. She quickly shook her head and turned around quickly. She didn't think she would ever stop blushing. She tried to focus intently on the droning of the teacher, but it was no use. She kept thinking back to the man, and how his lips barely moved as he said her name. She could feel two eyes on her back, and knew he was watching her. This only made her blush even more as she sighed and willed for class to be over.


Inuyasha growled and rubbed at his temple. He replayed the message just to make sure he had heard right.

"Inuyasha, work has brought me to Tokyo University, and I have kindly remembered that this is where you reside. I will be there for dinner at 9:00, oh and please don't run away like you did last time little brother." Inuyahsa could almost see his half brother smirk as he growled once more. 'God dammit, why can't he just stay in a hotel and not bother to come and annoy me!'

"Is uncle Sesshoumaru coming here!" Shippou chirped from the living room.

"Yes." Shippou squealed with glee and Inuyasha winced.

"Don't do that Shippou it hurts my ears!" He pouted, rubbing his sensitive ear on top of his head. "Besides, you only like him because he brings you the latest spider-man action figure…"

"So!" Shippou continued on with watching TV. as Inuyasha got up to make his bed before Kagome got home. He could just hear her now…

"If you never fall into a routine, then there's no point in cleaning up! You have to make your bed every day, and hang all your clothes. Soon you won't even realize your doing it!" Kagome finished in a cheerful tone. Sighing, he fell back onto his newly made bed and fell deep into thought. 'Kikyou, I know you said that if you ever died it would be alright to remarry, but I don't know…'

-Flashback-

"Kikyou, what if I died?" Kikyou looked over at Inuyasha through the darkness and replied, "I would be devastated…" She played with a strand of his silver hair as she lay across his chest. "Well, In case I died, I give you permission to remarry. I wouldn't want you to live life alone, unhappy all the time. I wouldn't want Shippou to grow without a father figure either." Kikyou chuckled quietly and Inuyasha frowned. He was serious! "Inuyasha there will never be another for me. If you died, I would never remarry. I would be content with little Shippou. However, If I died-

"No. Don't even talk about it. That will never happen." Yet again Kikyou chuckled and replied,"Inuyasha we will all die someday, some sooner than others. But in case I do die, I also give you permission to remarry. In fact, I would be devastated if I knew you went on to live life alone again, without another love." Inuyasha was about to protest, but before he could Kikyou silenced him with a soft kiss and whispered, "Goodnight, my love"

-End flashback-

Inuyasha sighed and rolled over. 'Is it okay? Is it alright for me to like someone else? No matter what I will never stop loving you, Kikyou. But what if I'm falling in love with someone else? Is that so bad?' He glanced over at the clock and it read 7:48. He felt his eyelids become heavy as one last though ran through his head. 'Kagome will be home soon…'

"Inuyashaaa! Wake up sleepy head!" Inuyasha slowly lifted open his eyelids and his heart fluttered. Kagome's beaming smile greeted him.

"Finally! I've been trying to get you awake for the past 5 minutes!"

"I told you he was a heavy sleeper!" Shippou piped up from behind her. He rolled his eyes and got up, yawning. Suddenly he said, "shit what time is it!"

"Uhmm...8:15. I just got here, why?" Inuyasha groaned as Shippou answered her question.

"Uncle Sesshoumaru is coming for dinner tonight! At precisely 9:00, that's why! He's never late!" Shippou said with his finger in the air. Kagome smiled.

"Uncle! You never told me you had a brother Inuyasha!" She was ecstatic at the thought of meeting Inuyasha's brother.

"Half brother." Inuyasha spat out. Kagome frowned.

"I take it you don't get along?"

"That would be an understatement Kags!" Shippou added. Inuyasha grabbed Shippou and gave him a noogie.

"Has anyone ever told you you have a big mouth?"

"Wahh! Daddy let me go!" Kagome smiled warmly as she saw father and son tussle about. After the laughter settled down she asked,

"So, do you want me to make dinner?" Already making her way to the kitchen. Inuyasha and Shippou followed her.

"Hell no. Don't work yourself over him. We'll just go out and eat.

"Okay! Well if you don't need me then I'll be heading home then, I have to finish up my homework, it's due tomorrow." 'Inwardly, she sighed. She had wanted to meet him so much!' She looked over at Inuyasha who stopped her.

"Who said anything about you not coming with us?" Kagome stared at him.

"Well, I just assumed, family and all, I'm just an outsider you know-"

"Nonsense. Family or no, you're just as important." Kagome blushed as she realized he had her pinned to the wall, his body dangerously close to hers. Suddenly she smacked him away and brought her hands to her face.

"What am I going to wear? He must be a very important person, if he's Inuyasha-sama's brother! She subconsciously smoothed out her hair and Inuyasha's shirt, which was three times too big for her.

"Don't do that."

"What?"

"Call me sama. I'm only 23." Kagome smiled and nodded her head. At that precise moment they all heard a knock on the door, and Shippou jumped up and down excitedly. Inuyasha smacked his forehead and Kagome just smiled stupidly at the door.

"So, should I get it?" Inuyasha waved his hand, and she took it as a yes. She quickly unlocked the door and pulled it open, ready to greet the man, but her breath left her throat. The man that was sitting behind her in class that day smirked down at her and said in his silky smooth voice, "Well hello miss Higurashi, what a surprise…"
