Chapter 26: The Party and the Uninvited Guests.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Walking in the house Kagome looked around but saw no one. "Where is everyone?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "Maybe they are outside." He suggested grabbing her hand and leading her through the kitchen before opening the back door, followed by Sango and Miroku.
"Surprise! Happy birthday!" Everyone shouted as Kagome walked out.
Kagome looked around at all the decorations. Everything from the balloons, streamers, the happy birthday sign, the table cloth even the wrapping paper hiding the gifts inside was all the colors of neon. She felt tears gather in her eyes. "You guys! You didn't have to do all this for me!"
Iziyoi waved her off. "We wanted to honey." She said coming up to her, pulling her in a hug. "You are like my daughter, I love you and want you to be happy."
"I love you, too." Kagome said giving her a watery smile.
"Come! Lets open presents!" Sango said grabbing Kagome's hand and running to where the gifts were.
Sango and Miroku got her a couple outfits, a new purse and a couple expensive sunglasses. Rin and Sesshomaru got her some new shoes, some jewelry and hair accessories. The last gift was from Iziyoi and Taisho, she noticed it was a neon blue box with holes punch in the top. She took the top off and saw a black yorkie puppy. She loved all her gifts and gave everyone a hug and a thank you.
"Alright, lets eat." Taisho said clapping his hands.
"Wait, there's one more gift." Inuyasha said taking a small box out of his pocket. "About a month ago I laid eyes on the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. As I got to know her and her kids I knew that I was done for, that there was nothing that I wouldn't do to make them happy and to see a smile on their faces. I fell hard and fast, all three of them have me wrapped around their fingers and I wouldn't have it any other way. A few nights ago I asked this girl if she would be my mate, but today, I'm asking her to be my wife." Inuyasha said getting down on one knee. "Kagome Higurashi, love of my life, will you make me the happiest, luckiest man in the world by not only becoming my mate but also my wife. Will you marry me?"
Kagome covered her mouth with her hands as tears leaked out of her eyes. She gave Inuyasha a watery smile as she nodded her head. "Yes, I will." She said giving him her left hand so he could slip the ring on her finger. Before Inuyasha could put it on, though, a barrier shot up pushing everyone away from Kagome effectively separating everyone from Kagome.
"Oh what a beautiful proposal. I hope we didn't miss the cake." A male voice said and Kagome's blood ran cold as she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't fucking touch her!" Inuyasha growled as everyone tried to get through the barrier but it wasn't budging.
"However," Kagome's dad continued as if Inuyasha never spoke. "You are still underage and need my permission and I don't think I want to give it to you."
"I emancipated myself from you. I don't need shit from you." Kagome said but immediately regretted because a manly hand landed hard on her cheek making her fall down and her cheek to burn from the slap.
"Kagome!" Everyone shouted at the same time.
"Watch your mouth when you're talking to me!" Kagome's father shouted.
Kagome started to cry. "Why!? Why can't you just let me be happy!?" She screamed through her tears getting on her hands and knees trying to stand up.
Kagome's dad kicked her in the stomach making her cough out pained yell, falling down rolling on her back coughing trying to get her breath back in her lungs. "You had no right to leave me!" He screamed at Kagome. " You belong to me! Now, you've fucked up and fell in love with another man! Well, we'll just have to fix that, won't we?"
Kagome saw as her dad took a pistol out and point it at Inuyasha.
"No! Please! He doesn't mean anything to me! I don't love him!" Kagome panicked.
Kagome's dad looked at her with a hateful look. "Then why did you agree to marry him?"
Kagome looked at the ground sending a mental apology to Inuyasha but she had to save him some how and this was the only idea she had. "Because, I needed him for his money." Her heart broke as she said the words.
"Hmm, I don't believe you." Her dad said lifting the gun back up to point at Inuyasha.
"No! Please, if you let him live, I'll go with you! I'll never run away ever again. Just let him live." Kagome begged.
"That's not good enough! You need to be punished!" Kagome's dad yelled. "Me shooting him isn't good enough, but, I do know what's good enough." An evil smile curled his lips as he shoved the gun in Kagome's hand. "Shoot him."
"No!" Kagome shouted. "I won't shoot him!"
"You either shoot him or I'll make you."
When Kagome didn't move her dad rolled his eyes and walked up behind her jerking her arm up to point the gun at Inuyasha. Kagome reeled back and headbutted her dad's face making him fall. He quickly got up, though, and grabbed her by the neck slamming her against a tree. Kagome barely registered her name being called out. She started to panic, her vision started to blur but she still saw as Kikyo walked over to Inuyasha pointing her own gun at him.
"Get back together with me or die. If I can't have you no one can." Kikyo demanded Inuyasha.
Before Inuyasha could say anything they heard a gun shot, saw Kagome's dad fall on the ground clutching his leg and screaming in pain. She then walked over to where Kikyo stood and shoved her gun on Kikyo's temple. "Drop the gun."
"No! He's supposed to be mine! You stole him from me!" Kikyo screamed cocking her gun.
Kagome cocked her own gun as she shoved it against her temple again. "I didn't steal him from you! You cheated and used him, it's your own fault that you guys are not together anymore! Now, drop the gun!"
"But he's mine!"
"Wrong! He's MINE! And I don't share!" Kagome shouted. "Now, for the last time, put the fucking gun down, now!"
Kikyo sighed and dropped the gun, but Kagome pushed the gun against her temple again. "What? I dropped the gun!"
"Now the barrier!"
Kikyo rolled her eyes but the barrier dropped. Before Kagome realized in Inuyasha enveloped her in a bone crushing hug as his claws trailed up her arm and grabbed hold of the gun. She relinquished her hold on the gun without fight. They heard the police sirens get closer and knew the police would be here soon.
"Umm, where did your dad go?" Taisho asked as everyone looked around.
"Shit!" Inuyasha cursed, he was gone. The police came, arrested Kikyo and promised to keep a look out for Kagome's dad.
"This isn't over! I will get what I want!" Kikyo screamed as she was being shoved in a police car, then they were gone.
Please review! Until next time, bye!
