Author's note: Just an FYI, I cannot stress enough that this IS an Inuyasha/Kagome pairing, this story will lead to that but keep in mind that i'm not just gonna throw them together right away that would make this story very short lol and would make no sense.
I also wanna apologize for the late upload, I am currently revising all my chapters for this story! Please leave a review if you like it! It motivates me to write 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 3: Somber days.
They're could not have been a more perfect day to be lounging by the poolside. Outside appeared to be windless, warm, and not even the blue sky could veil the beautiful rays of light beaming through the large casement window in Sango's office.
Yet here she was, stuck at her desk all day.
Sango could not explain how many times she had been so close to throwing her phone out the goddamn window. Tabloids have been blowing up her phone after all this time they still had the nerve to bug her for a statement about Kagome's split with Miasma Records. Sango felt her mood plummet, nestling her face between the palms of her hands, and her manicured tips massaging through her chestnut strands, the silence was so sweet.
Her small moment of quiet was cut off when her phone blared 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns n' Roses, she saw her husband's name light up and silenced the ringer.
"Hey babe, sorry I didn't call you back earlier I've been fighting with Diane from People magazine, that nosy little bitch has been hounding for any information she can get on Kagome's case. She paused for a minute, deciding to catch her breath before continuing. "You know..it's just shit like this that make me ponder the idea of quitting my job and living under a rock." She groaned.
"My love, you are way too beautiful to be hiding your life away under a rock, plus you'll miss your heated bathroom floors." Miroku teased.
Damn, he got her there.
Before she could get another word in she heard her husband's voice again.
"Sweetheart there was something I did want your advice on, I emailed you some documents that Rin sent me this morning. Naraku's lawyer is requesting an official print out from Kagome's bank listing all of her revenue and whatever large purchases she made during her time at Miasma." He spoke not bothering to hide his uneasiness.
"Are you fucking kidding me? That asshole is going after her assets now?" her mood grew gloomier by the minute, today just couldn't get any worse.
"I'm sorry my love, I didn't mean to make your day any more stressful, but we should talk to Kagome about this tonight, Rin's been trying to get this case settled before her engagement party." He sighed.
The weight of the world was on her shoulders once again, Kagome was not going to like this, she was already weary enough as it is. In all the time Sango had known her, Kagome was never the person to open up so easily and they're parts of the story she always left out when her past came up. Still, Sango wasn't stupid she had put two and two together, Naraku and Kagome's relationship was obviously more than "professional" he had to been holding something over Kagome for her to wait this long to finally bring him to court over their broken contract, but whatever that fucker had up his sleeve she would do everything in her power to protect Kagome, they were like sisters and she wasn't going to let him have the chance to hurt her again.
Sango hesitated before finding her voice again. "Miroku, Kagome doesn't want to deal with this and I don't want to put her in an even more vulnerable state where she slips back into bad habits...I just don't want to see her relapse again after all the progress she's made.."
"Sango, I understand Kagome entrusted us to take care of her affairs and the last thing I want to do is cause her more anxiety but you have to convince her to at least give Rin a call, it's kind of silly if she won't take the time to sit down with her own lawyer. She is my friend too but just because she has fame and money does not give her a rite of passage to act like a spoiled child. We have to stop treating her as such! You're working overtime just to keep her life afloat and I've barely seen you these past couple of weeks, it would be nice to have a normal dinner with my wife again." Miroku tried his best to be understanding of Kagome's situation but at the same time Sango had to draw the line between work life and personal, with the past few weekends they spent going out clubbing with Kagome he started to notice some familiar behaviors resurface but of course until he was sure, he wasn't going to bother Sango with such matters and there was no use breaking her heart all over again if he didn't have proof.
But there it was, the naked truth Sango had been avoiding, she knew her husband had a point but it was so difficult to stand on the sidelines and watch someone you loved destroy themselves.
"I know baby and I'm sorry I haven't been home more, why don't we get dressed, eat a nice dinner and talk everything out over a nice glass of wine? I could use it after the day I've had. I'll call Kagome and tell her to have lunch with me and Rin tomorrow." Sango said, she was going to take Miroku's advice and hope a nudge here and there would put Kagome on the right track.
"That sounds wonderful my love." Miroku answered back but then his voice got low. "Oh and Sango..,don't bother wearing anything underneath."
Sango's face reddened, "Miroku! Seriously do you always have to be a lech!?"
"Sango my sweet, I'll never give up winning your affections even in marriage, I love you, oh but if I get you drunk enough tonight, will you bear my children?"
the line went dead.
Miroku sighed to himself and frowned "guess that's a no.."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next afternoon~
Thud, "Motherfucker!" she winced contacting the roof's hard surface inside the moving vehicle, she rubbed the small, sore bump that had colonized its way on her hairline.
She was late.
Sango called her in the middle of recording and decided she needed to have lunch with her and Rin at the Bellagio. What was the point of hiring people to do everything for her? Okay maybe she was being a little cranky but she still had seven more songs that weren't complete and time was not on her side not to mention she was out of coke and the Xanax she was prescribed did not have the same effect anymore so she had to drop by one of her back up contacts to pick up some emergency dope.
Struggling to get her legs to stay up, she waited till her limo stopped at a red light and gracefully slipped her thong upwards feeling the small fabric travel upwards against her smooth and sun kissed legs. 'Success!' She thought, doing a small victory dance in her mind. Kagome reached into herfine, black Chanel purse pulling out a small compact mirror, she grabbed her favorite clear gloss, and applied a small amount on her pouty lips, her ebony locks had been blown out to perfection with her flown curls falling gracefully past her shoulders reaching to her lower waist, her long lashes were up at attention but not enough to hide the focus from her piercing grey eyes being framed with a fierce cat eye wing that sat on top of natural eye shadow, and she was dolled up in a black velvety soft slip dress, it stopped 3 inches above the knees caressing her smooth thighs and the thin spaghetti straps parted ways backwards leaving her with an open back side and as a small touch she had her diamond studs inside both her small lobes and a tiny bar crossing through her industrial piercing.
Kagome could feel the warm climate beating through the windows, the small beads of sweat were slipping down swell of her chest, she was content with her decision to skip out on a bra the triangle bodice emphasized her natural, large perky breasts, and with this heat the extra layering would've be a nuisance. Once they had arrived at their destination, she quickly laced up her black velvet, thigh high heeled boots, gaining her composure she flashed a sweet smile at the doorman as he assisted her out of the car, she said her pleasantries and walked through the luxurious Italian inspired hotel, passing through the lobby she never got over how gorgeous the botanical garden stood, surrounded by colorful trees and a various flowers existing in harmony with the dim but colorful lighting, after passing up all the various fancy designer shops she was relieved that she didn't have to hear the loud click in her heels anymore and was greeted by her hostess.
"Hello, miss Higurashi, Miss Taiya, Miss Oshiro had already informed us if your arrival, please if you will I'll show you where we have them seated." She smiled graciously.
"No thank you, that won't be necessary I see them now, but I appreciate it." Kagome said, sliding her way gracefully to where Sango was waving her down at, reaching the table she kissed Sango hello on the cheek and moved over to bend down and give Rin a small hug. Rin Oshiro was probably the cutest thing she'd ever seen, her face was soft and heart shaped with small freckles that danced their way from her button nose down to the apples of her cheeks, her straight brunette locks were thrown up in a high ponytail and she was wearing a gorgeous strapless yellow, floor length sundress that complimented her small and dainty figure. Moving down to sit in her seat she noticed Sango was rocking a black formal blazer with a plunging neckline, it showed off some cleavage but it was very classy and she matched it with fitted black slacks and Louis Vuitton peep toe pumps.
Her bitches were looking good today!
Rin clapped her hands together obviously not able to contain her excitement. "Guys! I'm getting married!" she exclaimed, pulling out her small hand and laying on her ring finger was a sparkly three karat pear shaped diamond nestled in a silver band.
"WHAT?! Rin that is amazing! Are you going to tell us who mystery guy is?" Sango gushed ogling at the beautiful piece of jewelry, she noticed Kagome was kind of silent and nudged at her "Kags don't be an ass, say congratulations!" She whispered in her ear quickly before Rin turned her attention back on them.
That was her cue, Kagome threw on a forced smile. "Congrats Rin, you're so lucky." It was a lie; Rin was fooling herself. Happiness, love, joy...they were not real. Not like she was an expert on happiness, but she could clearly see through the bullshit that mainstream society was trying to sell them. She laughed inside bitterly. The closest she had ever felt to joy was the rippling effect of the heroin delivering her current state of nirvana. Yeah, she did not need love. Trying to steer her focus back on the tedious chit chat of wedding details she almost missed Rin's question.
Kagome blinked before asking again, "I'm sorry. What did you say Rin?
Rin giggled, "Silly! Are you daydreaming over there? I asked if you would be available to attend my engagement party tomorrow night, Sesshy's flying into town with his family, ooh I can't wait for you guys to meet them! Sango just said she's coming with Miroku!"
Kagome shot a glare at Sango, great her participation meant she had to attend now, oh joy.
"Wait..Sesshy? Not to be rude but what kind of name is that Rin?" Kagome asked letting out a small condescending chuckle letting her hand play with the piece of hair that had fallen over shoulder obviously gaining the attention of the handsome gentleman at the bar.
"Yeah I was going to ask you Rin, what's this guy about? You've never really said too much about him." Sango chimed in, she was genuinely curious about the new man is her friend's life and wanted to make sure she could stamp her approval on him.
"Well..we wanted to keep our relationship on the low so we could keep it private and out of the media, dealing with Kagome's legal case I've had a lot of unwanted attention, which puts a thought back in my head!" Rin turned her full attention to Kagome before continuing "Kaggie, when I told Sesshy about your case he said already knew you personally!"
Wait what? Apparent confusion fell on Kagome's expression. "Rin, I've never heard of him, I don't know anyone named Sesshy." she stated furrowing her brows, she took a sip of her Pinot noir, she was almost ready to puke but after a while her body got better at controlling sickness from drugs, she just needed to get through lunch before they noticed.
Sango was also interested in this piece of news, leaning in closer to listen better when Rin spoke up. "Oh..well Sesshy's just his nickname silly goose! His real name is Sesshomaru Tashio, you have heard of the Tashio family! They're huge real state tycoons, well except Sesshy's little brother, Inuyasha, he's the only one that decided to do something different, I think he's a doctor now hmm.." She tapped her chin while deep in thought.
Kagome paled. Tashio brothers? Did Rin just mention not just Sesshomaru but Inuyasha too? As in the family they'd be seeing tomorrow night?..which meant her bitch sister was also in town.
Oh yeah, she was fucked.
She was about to open her mouth when Sango interjected.
"Kagome! Why didn't you tell me you knew him? I would have gladly bought a house from his sexy ass! He's so yummy, and his cover on Forbes was hot." Sango teased, joining in a giggling fit with Rin.
Rin looked up with stars in her eyes. "I know, he's just so beautiful, ugh I can't wait for him to meet you guys! But anyway, I think I'm gonna head out, I have to meet the wedding planner at my place, Oh Kaggie! I spoke to Naraku's lawyer and they've agreed to a settlement finally, he's going to fax me some papers and what not, I'll text you the details later, bye my lovelies! don't be late tomorrooowww" She sung, grabbing her purse and giving Kagome and Sango a goodbye kiss on the cheek.
Sango stood up and grabbed her belongings as well, throwing the waiter a hundred-dollar tip on the table. "Well honey bunz I am off to meet with David to go over the songs you recorded today, and we'll start fresh tomorrow morning, love you kags text me later girl." She bent down to hug Kagome goodbye.
"Bye bitch!" She winked waving her off.
Kagome chugged the rest of her wine and glanced around the restaurant noticing the man at the bar was still sitting there, he had what appeared to be vodka in his hand and locked eyes with her, Kagome smirked, she played this game all the time.
Slowly getting up but her eyes never leaving him, she walked over to where the ladies room door resided before she closed it behind her she saw him slowly follow in her direction.
Hook, line, and sinker.

"Oh, god"
"You can call me Suikotsu, babe." He mumbled, his face was buried in her inner thighs, trailing his wet tongue along her pink jewel, causing her moans to increase, he lips gave their attention to her sensitive nub, nipping and hot flicks with his tongue till he felt her legs quiver, "Aah!" she panted feeling the pressure of his thumb against her clit, her pussy glistened, covered in her juices, her back was arched she palmed her large breasts pinching her erect nipples, and her eyes were shut tight, her stomach was twisting in knots as she rocked against his talented mouth.
Upon sensing her nearing release, and with much restraint he pulled himself away and lifted her up he felt her legs wrap around his waist and she was now pressed against the stall. "I don't want you to cum like that." he whispered. She felt his hot breath against her neck, his lips traveling from her collarbone and making his stop to her left breast playing with her hardened peak, she moaned louder feeling his tongue dance circles around her nipple, he sucked on it for a little bit before getting bored and she watch him tear off her tiny thong off.
"I'd hold onto something if I were you."
Doing as she was told, she felt him spread her legs wider and bit her lip when she felt his engorged cock pressing against her pussy as he sought entry, she mewled writhing in need, she needed to get fucked now.
"Want me to take the pain away, baby?" whispered in her ear while directing the enlarged tip inside her awaiting cunt. Kagome hissed feeling his cock fight its way inside her tight channel, "N-Need it.."she moaned with her face flipping from one side to the other, he slammed into her so hard her body scooted up the wall, her pussy clenched welcoming the hardness that filled her up, loving the way he fucked her.
"Oh god, yes" She gasped, her hands was clenched against the top of the stall, her cheeks were flushed, her breasts bounced with every upward thrust, she was close, lost in the feeling as his cock drove deeper and vigorously he never got over her sweet little mewls of pleasure, his orgasm blinded him as did hers, he felt her teeth latch onto his neck barely making sense of the muffled scream, his body jerked he could feel her orgasm induced spams straight through his cock, the sensation was devouring her and she had no choice but to give in, coming down from her own release, her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she felt his seed spurting inside her, she instantly went limp, feeling his body collapse against hers, his hot breath panting against her neck.
After a few minutes of awkward silence and regaining their composure, Kagome turned to walk out of the bathroom first, but his voice stopped her in her tracks.
"H-Hey I know this is kind of sudden but could I maybe call you sometime?" He stammered a bit, it wasn't every day you ran into the Kagome Higurashi, let alone fuck her brains out in the bathroom stall.
Kagome sighed, this was the part that always annoyed her but she'd have enough practice to know how to break them down easily, rubbing her hands behind her neck she looked at him sheepishly. "Suikotsu was it? This was fun but im just not dating right now." Poor sap, he looked defeated, she took his sigh of disappointment as her cue to make her exit.
Peacefully making her way to the lobby once again, the sound of the TV broadcasting compelled her to listen as she saw a woman appear on the screen. "Hey guys! Welcome back to Star Today, this is Irini Sasaki coming at Las Vegas
with the hottest news! So it's been confirmed, real estate big shot Sesshomaru Tashio and Rin Oshiro are indeed engaged! Clearly over exaggerating the new piece of information. We had our suspicions but now the world can rest in peace knowing that these two are indeed getting married! Our sources informed us that it will be a small intimate wedding, and they plan to have family and friends flying down to Sin City for the engagement party!

Stay tuned tomorrow for more news at Star Today! Im Irini saying goodnight!"
Why did everything around her stop moving? She could have sworn she was walking, she felt sick, her stomach was twisting in knots.
So, it was true.
She felt dizzy suddenly, the memories, the truth, the lies were all crashing down at once.
She bolted out the door.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She didn't flinch as the glass made contact beneath her soles.
Yes, it hurt but it did not compare to her cunt of emotions.
"In this world you've tried,
not leaving me alone, behind.."
She clenched her fists and grabbed the bottle of wine sitting on her piano and once again never flinching as she watched the shards of glass disperse into tiny pieces creating a landmine that was once her living room. She screamed at the top of her lungs, her legs collapsed underneath her as she fell to the floor and her breaths were short. Failing to catch up she sobbed uncontrollably, tears falling harshly making their way from her lips into her mouth, she didn't have Inuyasha anymore, he was gone, he left her. Long ago..
"There's no other way
I pray to the gods let him stay.."
Staring up at the ceiling, she ignored the stinging pain, she had small cuts from the heels of her feet to the shards of glass slightly digging into her thigh, with confusion settling in, she couldn't understand why she couldn't get him out of her head, yes he had the first and only man she'd ever love, but it had been nearly nine years for her. From the drugs, and all the mindless fucking it felt like it all started with him, it wasn't supposed to end up like this. She wasn't supposed to become like this.
"The memories easy the pain inside.."
She smirked at herself, amused at her own self-pity, she envied her sister, and for once the tables had turned. Silent little Kikyo who always minded her business and was never late to school was fucking her boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend now, behind her back for god knows how long and now she was going to be his little trophy wife. My, My she had to give props to her twin sissy, she was more devious than she had led on throughout their childhood, but then again they were never really close to begin with. Kagome was the social butterfly, she was bubbly, and never hid her childish innocence, whereas Kikyo was quiet and did not talk much to her, she kept to herself and focused on studies like Kagome. Looking back, Kagome realized that maybe Kikyo always had the upper hand, she had her womanly figure develop freshman year, she had guys constantly turning heads and fawning over her, but an innocent eighteen year old Kagome couldn't have foreseen Kikyo's betrayal. She snorted at the memory, naivety was her least favorite flaw and in her line of work, it could've been her downfall.
"Now I know why.."
Her eyes were half lidded, the pain was slowly subsiding if just had lain still, feeling her the weight lift off, she slipped out of consciousness where a dreamless sleep awaited her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Outside was pitch black and there wasn't much you could see but he could feel the vibrations of the storm clouds rolling in. Sighing to himself he looked down at his chunky, silver plated Rolex watch, "four more hours.." ten hours had passed since they had departed Tokyo, a huge part of him was scared shitless but a small part was confident and also happy for his brother and his soon to be sister-in-law Rin, they were the perfect match.
Sneaking a glance to his right, Sesshomaru had fallen fast asleep for most of the flight, he usually popped an Ambien an hour before traveling to calm his nerves but he was pretty good at masking his anxiety. Unlike him, Inuyasha hated flying, it was one of the reasons why he built his practice in his hometown. Tokyo was safe and he liked being close to his family, and his brother had to pretty much drag him kicking and screaming. Yet there was a small upside, he did have some time to himself. Running his sharp talons through his fallen bangs sweeping them out of his eyesight.
He shut his eyes, slipping deeper into his thoughts, the silence made him uncomfortable. Kikyo had decided to stay back home helping her mother with the shrine or so she says he knew she was probably in their bed fucking her latest side piece. Inuyasha sighed wondering why he ever proposed to her. On paper they made sense, the successful doctor and the beautiful, young model but he could not shake the feeling he was making a mistake.
"I need a fucking cigarette." He thought wishing he could obtain the box of Newport's tucked away in his luggage, instead he settled on chugging down the rest of the Hennessy that sat in his tray, letting his mind roam, it's not like he had a bad life, his parents loved him, his brother was his best friend, and he liked his fiancé. He mentally snored, there was only one person he had ever given his heart to, and her name was Kagome Higurashi. he never forgot the day he watched her heart shatter into a million pieces. Being eighteen and stupid was no excuse but he had been so young, and he was never positive that Kagome was his one and only until it was too late. his heart was crushed when he tried to come to see her the day after. Her mother informed him that Kagome decided to take a last minute flight to Los Angeles and pursue her singing career while going to school part time.
Still, Inuyasha wasn't an alien, he kept up with the tabloids every now and again, following her career and hearing about the trouble she'd gotten herself into over the years, and in all that time he never found the courage to find her, I mean what would he have done? Drop in on her saying Hey Kagome! I know it's been like 9 years, but I miss you? His mood dampened, if only it were that simple.
But if only he knew that somewhere, she was longing for him as well.
