"Sango I honestly don't know what's going to happen now that he is back" searching through my closet, shirt after shirt looking for my dress coat for the morning.
"you're not the only one trust me, but we can only hope it will be in your favor"
Hoping along with her "I can't believe tomorrow is my one-year anniversary at the hospital, but I can't believe even more that I can't find this stupid black blazer!"
"Kags its probably in the way back above those purple pumps you bought for the almost date with Inuyasha in high school"
"How do you remember these things!" walking towards the back of my closet I found it "you're a genius"
"they making you wear a suit for this"
"no, it just goes perfecting with the skirt I have picked out tomorrow, complete look" placing the blazer with a maroon colored thigh high pencil skirt "you know me"
Knock Knock "Kagome dear you have someone at the door for you"
"alright ill be right down mother" putting the phone back to my ear "sorry Sango I got to go"
Sitting my phone down on my bed I stood and made my way down our grand staircase, my steps became slower and slower as my visitor came into view. Onigumo stood in my house with his hands in his pocket, whistling as I met the last 6 steps "Kagome dear I swear you get more beautiful every day" stepping towards me he reached out and pulled my hand into his giving it a small kiss.
Instantly I pulled my hand back wiping it across the back of my shirt "Hello to you too Onigumo now please leave" Turing to head back up the stairs until I felt his hand on me again "yes".
"Now now my dear not so fast, we have things to talk about, for one the return of the gallant Inuyasha" his grip tightened around my wrist keeping me in my place "it seems he has agreed to the terms of his inheritance, that meaning you"
I stopped fighting at that "what do you mean"
"oh, so you didn't know" letting go of my hand he started laughing "it would seem your future father in-law made it a clause in his will, a wedding or a company"
"that's ridiculous, your lying" turning to face him fully "you're just looking for something to gloat about"
"I wish that was true" both heads turned to see a new face in the room.
"Inuyasha"
"just in time, such a knight" Onigumo turned and bowed to the both of us before leaving us alone.
Time seemed to stop, both stood in complete silence unsure of what to say. Finally, I left the room assuming he would follow me up the stairs, he was no stranger to my bed room. Sitting on my bed I waited for him to step through my door, few seconds passed before I saw two dark brown dress shoes standing in front of me, looking up I stared into his beautiful amber eyes "please tell me the truth now"
Pulling the chair from my vanity he slid in front of me and took a sit, for a moment he just looked down and was thinking, looking up he finally met my gaze "last week I was in my own world you know, I never planned to come back here and be involved in my fathers crooked life" his eyes met mine again as I tried to stop the tears starting to form, so he came to push me away?
"When my father died Sesshomauru set out to find me and he did, hiding on a fishing boat in the freezing cold, I thought I was at least doing a good job of hiding, when he told me about fathers passing he mentioned I would have to come home" reaching towards his pocket he pulled his wallet out and inside was a folded up letter "father told me I was to come home and face the music"
"so here I am, or so I thought" handing me the letter "he got his last laugh that's for sure, he left the company to me, all of it"
"the exact thing you never wanted" I saw where this was going.
"there is a catch Kagome"
"always seems to be with your family"
"I should probably tell you that Sesshomauru told me about things going on with Onigumo" I flinched
"Inuyasha that stuff doesn't matter, it's the past plus you left not caring so you can't suddenly do it now"
"well its no longer the past, his father wants the company and they intend to fight for it"
"how can they take it, they are not blood?"
"my father and Naraku made a contract between themselves, tying all us children together"
"how so?"
"the only way to keep the company in the Takanashi family is for you to become one"
For a moment I was confused and then it sunk in, Onigumo was telling the truth "our marriage has to happen?"
"Kagome, I know it's what you have always wanted"
"I've never wanted it because it was a requirement, I wanted it to be mutual" it was getting what I wanted although.
"I can't promise you it right away but eventually it would be that way?"
Looking into his eyes I could see the emotion was there, this man did love me "can I have some time to think about it, next thing you'll be telling me we need an heir within the year!"
"well how about I give you tonight to think and I pick you up for dinner tomorrow night? Say 7 sharp?"
"you mean like a date?"
"that's usually what dinner represents with me?" smiling at me in the way he always had I had no other choice come blabbing out of my mouth.
"alright, see you at 7"
Standing up to leave my room "wear something formal" he walked through the door and was gone.
Wear something formal? Who was I kidding I was excited. A chance to finally be married to the man I had always wanted to be with, heading back into my closet for the second time that night I started searching through my dress collection for the perfect one, something red.
Downstairs Inuyasha found his way into 's study along with the old man. Reading the contract together they agreed on a date and both signed the document "she isn't going to be very happy about this you know" the old man spoke.
"Sure she will grandfather, its been her dream since we were 14 years old, all girls want to be a Takanashi" placing the document back inside its folder then into the briefcase I shook the old mans hand and headed home.
Walking inside the Takanshi manor doors I placed the briefcase inside my fathers' study and pulled out my cell phone to call Sesshomauru, his wife was the best party planner.
"yes litter brother?" cold as usual
"I just arrived home from the Hiragushis and I have the contract signed, so I would like Rin to brush up her party planning skills and have an engagement party thrown together for tomorrow night, say 7:30pm"
"what on earth are you talking about"
"the sooner the better brother, tomorrow I shall announce my engagement to Kagome officially to the board and get things rolling, Onigumo was already sniffing around her house today so no time to waste"
"not even god himself could plan a party like that in under 24 hours Inuyasha" Yelling was heard in the back ground and a couple demands "sorry Inuyasha your brother is a fool for my party planning skills" Rin quite possibly the only person to control my brother "so you said by 7:30 tomorrow night, right? All the board members will need to be contacted, flowers can be picked out easily in the morning"
Minutes had gone by of Rin listing all the things that would need to be done before dinner time tomorrow, with each demand it made me love her even more as a sister. Closing my eyes to sleep tonight would be the first decent sleep in the last week since I've been home, soon enough there would be nothing Naraku could do about this wedding.
