A/N

I see you liked the insults... hee hee... I gotta admit, they are good! Though, I have to tell you, I didn't make them up... I got them from ... well... I'll tell you later. I need to keep my sources a secret... Ask me at the end of the story, k?
Well, anyway, here's chapter two...
Day 2 – The Dinner
The day started out just as Sango had said, her showing up EXTREMELY early. When you have a grumpy college student who was pissed the night before, you can get a nuclear explosion in the house.
"What time is it?" Inuyasha groaned as he was pushed out of bed. Once his eyes were opened, he saw two girls hovering over him. "AHHHH! Get away! What a shame. Looks like the ugly fairy kissed you on both cheeks..."
"Oh, shut up for today. We have lots of work to do." Sango said pulling him out his room. "Don't give me a rough time or I can make a REALLY bad image for you mister."
"Oh yea. What could you do? Make me look funny?" Inuyasha taunted in a childish voice.
Both Sango and Kagome glared at him. "Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but you. You just abuse the privilege."
"Wench."
-glares- "Let's just get to work so I can leave this hell-hole..." Sango muttered.
In the kitchen, Inuyasha found himself some breakfast, consisting of some bread he managed to find and cold bacon. "OK. Now what?"
"Click your heals together and say, 'I need a life, I need a life.'" Sango spat at the hanyou who sat down across from her.
"Ooo, real funny." He spoke sarcastically. "Can't you be a little nicer?" The hanyou begged extremely sarcastically.
"She'll try being nicer if you try being smarter." Kagome stepped in, taking a seat next to Sango.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Ok, Mr. Yamasaki. Tonight there will be millions and millions of viewers watching you and Kagome closely. You both hate each other, but for the sake of tonight, act like boyfriend and girlfriend. Now don't scream, but a small kiss wouldn't do you bad, Kagome." Sango said then prepared herself for the screaming she knew would come from Kagome.
"WHAT?! I'M NOT KISSING THAT PIG!" Kagome shouted.
"I'm here!" A voice said from the other room.
"Miroku! Get away!" Inuyasha shouted. Too late, the boy was already in the kitchen area and drooling over the two ladies in front of him. He eyed the all-famous girl closely, "So, Kagome..."
"Pervert..." Sango muttered. "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to wait out in the other room or leave for several hours. We are very busy and need time alone. Do you mind?"
Looking the girl up and down, Miroku nodded slowly. "I suppose. If it pleases my fans..." He turned to leave then walked out slightly depressed.
"Now, tonight. You'll walk into The Shikon on an, obviously, red carpet. Cameras and photographers will line the walkway. Ignore as many flashes as you can and just keep walking. Fans will be asking for autographs, do very little, as minimum as possibly. Inside, you will be escorted to a table where Kagome will be seated." Sango stood up and walked a distance away. "Like this..." Sango went out the door then came back in, smiling and stopped in front of Kagome. "Good evening." Sango said in a "manly" voice.
"Hello, Inuyasha!" Kagome said very sweetly. "And then I'll say a few words, which I still need Sango for, and then we'll both be taken to the front of the restaurant for introductions and a few questions." She looked over to Sango for further instruction.
"Yes. Now, let's review what we've done already. You've just walked into The Shikon, what do you do?"
Inuyasha scratched his head. "I... wait to be escorted to a table... where Kagome is sitting... I say a few nice things... we get taken to the front... and..."
"Good!" Sango interrupted. "Let's practice, shall we? Come here, boy..."
Inuyasha stood still with arms crossed giving Sango the evil glare. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say something bad?"
"Bitch..." The hanyou mumbled under his breath walking to where Sango stood. "Ok, now what?"
"Roll over and play fetch."
"Would you cut the smart-ass attitude?!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Fine... then I'll be a dumbass..." Sango said coolly. "Now. You've just entered. What do you do?"
"I kill you. That's what I do."
"WOULD YOU BOTH STOP! I WANT TO GET THIS DONE JUST AS BAD AS YOU DO!" Kagome shouted from her chair.
"Fine. I walk up to Kagome...(walks to Kagome and takes her hand to help her up). Good evening Kagome." Inuyasha says with an entirely fake smile on.
Kagome is smiling as well. "Good evening, Inuyasha."
"Now, kiss her hand. For publicity." Sango whispers.
"I AM NOT KISSING THAT BITCHES HAND!"
"DO IT!" Sango threatened.
The hanyou rolls his eyes and bends down slightly to connect his lips to the top of her hand. "Happy?!"
"Very." The girl observing the "couple" walks over to the two. "This way..." She says motioning for them to follow. The two obey, then walked side by side to the living room. "Now someone will come out and say a few words. Please be patient and act like you like each other?"
Inuyasha and Kagome glare at each other. "It will work for tonight only." Kagome states firmly.
"Good. Then you kiss on the lips after they're done." Sango said quickly.
"WHAT?! NO WAY!" The two shout in unison.
"DO IT." Sango threatened again.
"I hate you..." Kagome grumbled through gritted teeth at Inuyasha.
"Just a reminder, 'sweetums', hating me won't make you pretty." The hanyou mumbled as the two got closer. As soon as their lips connected, they were apart and blushing just a quick.
"Oh, come on! That looked REAL convincing!" Someone's voice said from somewhere.
"MIROKU!" Inuyasha shouted seeing the young man in the open window.
---
That night, Inuyasha rode in a limo by himself. He took in all the rich features of the better, fancier part of town where he never got to go. The people walking by looked like they owned a million dollars in their purses, the buildings could have probably survived the end of the world with how sturdy and strong they looked. 'My goodness... no wonder Kagome is such a snob... these people roll in money day and night!
"Almost there, Mr. Yamasaki." The driver said through the window separating the back seat from the front.
"K." Taking one last look at the buildings, the car rolled to a stop. As Inuyasha waited for the chauffeur to arrive, he thought about what he was supposed to do. 'Wait... do I go to Kagome... or does she come to me?! Do I-'
"Excuse me, sir. We've arrived." The man said opening the door for the contest winner to step out of.
The hanyou scooted out of his seat and stood on the carpet. In front of him was the most people he'd ever seen gather and scrunch into one place. Screaming girls and flashing cameras blinded and deafened him as he walked down the lane, having a fake smile the entire way. Along the path, he stopped to sign several autograph books and shake a few hands.
Inside the place was just as bad. People all around him were wearing expensive clothing. He looked down at what he'd purchased earlier when the Higurashi team showed up to give him a complete do-over. A black tux fit over his slim but muscular body nicely. Compared to what the men in the restaurant were wearing, this looked like street clothes.
"This way, please." A man in a waiter attire said as he motioned towards the girl sitting at the front, Kagome.
Inuyasha followed, keeping his fake smile plastered to his face. As he approached Kagome, he actually saw she looked really nice. She wore a sleeveless light blue dress with glove like accessories reaching above the elbow. A small pink rose clip sat daintily in her hair with small beads adorning the side. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders and was slightly curled under.
Finally realizing that he was supposed to do something, he reached out his hand. "Good evening, Kagome. You look quite nice." 'Gag me with a spoon!'
"Thank you, Inuyasha. You look quite handsome, as well." 'Some one shoot me!'
The hanyou was grinding his teeth as he leaned down and kissed her hand lightly. A small 'ooh' came from the audience, as well as the people watching around the world.
Inuyasha had Kagome sit down and then took a seat next to her. "I'd like to welcome you all tonight to a very special occasion!" A woman's voice spoke from the front. Everyone turned to look. "I'm Sakura Megami, and tonight we are proud to introduce Kagome Higurashi! (applause) and our special guest, Inuyasha Yamasaki, the young man who won the Higurashi contest! Let's give them both a big hand!" Inuyasha and Kagome stood up from where they were seated. "Can I ask both of you to come up here for a minute?" The lady asked.
Both stood up and walked to the podium on the small stage. Kagome walked to the microphone first. "Hi everybody!" She spoke cheerfully. A loud cheer erupted. "How are we all doing tonight?" (more applause) "I'd like to say that putting myself out of my normal schedule to spend three weeks with one of my fans (That's what she thinks...Inuyasha thought) is definitely going to be different, but Inuyasha, here, will definitely make the time go by! We've already been acquainted and I have to say, he's some guy!" (A small laughter from the audience.) Kagome inwardly cursed. (perhaps too much for a PG-13 story...) (Beta: Too much? Are you kidding me?! This is like PG! Where's the action?! Lol.) "Let's congratulate Inuyasha on a job well done!"
The hanyou just smile fakely and nodded. "Well, thank you Kagome. I'm sure we all hope you have fun on your time off!" Ms. Megami said taking the microphone back. "Let's wish them well, shall we?" The woman started clapping as Kagome walked by Inuyasha, but, doing as rehearsed, he grabbed her hand and spun her into a hug and kissed her. Both of the two were blushing deeply as the audience whooped and cheered while they walked back to their seats. "I'm sure you all watching that you could have been here to witness that for yourselves!" Sakura joked. "Now, let's continue with the nights events..."
---
"EWWW! EWWW! I kissed him! Ew!" Kagome pretended to wipe her tongue with a tissue once they were in the limo on the ride home.
"Hey, it's not like I had a choice back there!" Inuyasha hissed glaring at the girl seated across from him.
"I know... but you could have done it a lot less noticeable..." The girl mumbled.
"Psht! You're so ugly, the tide wouldn't even take you out!"
"Don't hate me because you hate me, hate me because you ain't me!"
"Ooooo. Using your famous-ness now are we? I dream of being the best, you dream of being better than me. But you know what? DREAM ON!"
Kagome glared. "In life, only one person gets to shine. SO move OUTTA my way cause you're blocking MY LIGHT!"
"Hey, guess what? I got a headache from YOU!" Inuyasha spat back.
"I'm sorry! Does it look like I was listening to you?"
"Shut up!"
"YOU!"
"YOU!"
"YOU!"
"SHUT THAT THING YOU CALL A MOUTH!"
"MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO!"
"YOU'RE MOMMA'S SO FAT, YOU HAVE TO TAKE TWO TRAINS AND A BUS JUST TO GET ON HER GOOD SIDE!"
"You leave my mother OUT of this!" Kagome screamed on the verge of tears.
"Cry me a river, build me a bridge, then do everyone a favor and jump off it!"
"Your lips keep moving, but all I hear is blah, blah, blah!"
"Can you two keep it down back there?" Sango asked from the front seat as she rolled up the window.
"You pile of saturated SHIT!" Inuyasha shouted rather loudly at Sango.
"See, now look what you've gone and done?" Kagome shouted.
"Me? You started it!" The hanyou yelled.
The car suddenly jerked forward, sending the two sprawling on the ground – on top of each other. "SANGO!" They both shouted untangling themselves.

A/N:
Whee! Another one done! Yayers! Okay. So what did you think? Chapters will probably be long with the story, I'm figuring. ----And there is 23 total, the 21 days, then the day before, and the day after, and possibly a 24 if the situation arises.----(Beta: I did not know how to reword this so um...try to figure it out by yourself please.)
So, I'm glad to hear everyone is liking it so far!!! For all of you that read "Beautiful Stranger" too, I apologize for the shortness and crappiness of the last chapter. I was rushed and was feeling really bad at the time. So, I'll work on a new chapter now that school is out and try and have it before next Wednesday rolls around.
