Careless Whisper

Disclaimer- These kind of make you feel down cause I have to admit I don't own Inuyasha and that's kind of depressing. lol.

.../...CHAPTER.13...


And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone

Ch.13 Wedding Shopping

RECAP.

"Did you call the guys?" Ayame asked Sango.

"Yup, their going to meet us at the mall. I couldn't get a hold of Inuyasha though." Sango shrugged.

"Call again." Rin said and handed her Kagome's phone.

"Ok." Sango nodded and dialed his cell phone number. He picked up after four rings.

"Hey sweetheart." He answered sleepily.

"Hey honey, what are you up to?" Sango asked trying hard to keep in her laughter.

"Sango?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yup, did you think I was Kagome?" Sango teased as she laughed.

"What do you want?" He asked with a yawn. Ayame took the phone from Sango since she was laughing to much to tell him what was going on.

"We wanted to go shopping for the wedding. You know, pick out clothes and stuff. All the guys are meeting us at the mall." Ayame explained to him.

"How many of you are over there?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"Just me, Sango, Rin and Katsuki." Ayame shrugged.

"When are you going?" He asked.

"After Kagome gets ready. You going or not?" She asked.

"I guess. I'll meet you at the mall." He told her.

"Great, see you later." Ayame said and hung up.

"How come he didn't answer when we called?" Rin asked.

"He was probably asleep and wouldn't answer unless it was Kagome." Katsuki smiled. "How sweet."

"What's sweet?" Kagome asked as she walked out of her room in a pair of flared jeans, a white tank top and with her hair left wet.

"Love." Ayame said simply with a shrug. Sango elbowed her and Katsuki looked over at her.

"Uhh...ok...So why are we going to the mall?" Kagome asked them as she put her shoes on.

"So we can look at dresses to get for the wedding. We decided to make it a group outting." Katsuki told her.

"The guys are meeting us at the mall too. Ayame decided to make it a small wedding so it's mostly her family that's going to be involved in it." Sango shrugged and picked up the jacket and handed it to Kagome. "Come on let's go." She told her. Kagome nodded and put the jacket on and grabbed her purse before they walked out of the apartment.

END.RECAP.

Inuyasha got out of his car and walked over to the entrance of the mall and saw Koga, Sesshomaru, Shippo and Miroku waiting outside.

"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked as he walked over to them.

"Same thing you are." Sesshomaru said simply.

"This is stupid, why can't the girls shop by themselves?" Shippo asked.

"Ya your telling me." Koga mumbled.

"It's your wedding man." Inuyasha told him.

"I know...the girls made us come." Koga sighed.

"It's not that bad. When's the last time when been to do something without it having to do with the gang?" Miroku asked.

"Ya by the way i'm surprised you guys aren't on some kind of job or something." Shippo told them.

"Well ever since Inuyasha stopped going as much and didn't take jobs our schedules opened up." Miroku shrugged. "At least we're not working."

"So Kagome has had some kind of affect on you huh Inuyasha?" Shippo smirked.

"Shut up, i'm just here cause I was told to come and Koga's getting married soon." Inuyasha said and crossed his arms.

"Ya whatever just wait till Kagome gets here. You wont be saying the same thing." Miroku told him.

"Does anyone know how long we'll be here?" Koga asked them.

"The girls will be shopping. We're probably going to be here a long time." Sesshomaru told him.

"Well we can't, we were invited to go eat at Kaede's house." Shippo told them.

"Thank the gods. I am starving. I didn't get a chance to eat." Koga said.

"You sure are complaining alot." Inuyasha told him as he sat down on a rail along the side.

"There's the girls." Shippo said when he saw them walking over.

"Great you guys made it on time, no let's go." Ayame said as she tried to herd them all to start walking. Inuyasha hopped down from the rail and waited for Kagome to walk over.

"Nice jacket." He said when she walked over to him.

"Thanks. I found it this morning. You like it?" She smiled.

"Ya, I could have sworn I had one just like that." He chuckled.

"Wierd. Don't know." Kagome laughed before he leaned down to kiss her.

"Hey no time for that, we gotta get going." Ayame told them as she pushed them. Inuyasha and Kagome laughed as they started walking.

"Calm down woman." Inuyasha told her as she started walking.

"We need to shop, no time to calm down." She smiled.

"You think Sango is bossy? Wait until you get to know Ayame better." Inuyasha told Kagome.

"I heard that." Ayame told him.

"Well stop being bossy and I wouldn't say it." Inuyasha said as they followed her inside the mall.

"Shut up." She said and glarred at him. "Ok you guys go look at whatever so we can shop. We'll meet at the food court in about an hour and a half then we'll go to Kaede's house." Ayame told them all.

"See? I told you." Inuyasha smirked before he walked away from Kagome.

"Come on girls. Let's go." Ayame told them as she led them to a dress shop. "We're just looking today but we can buy whatever we want." Ayame assured them.

"So what are you doing this weekend?" Sango asked Kagome as they walked to the back.

"I think i'm going to go see my family. I've been meaning to go since we came back...not that i'm going to tell them what happend." She laughed. "But to just see them. I haven't seen my brother in a long time now."

"You have a brother?" Sango asked.

"Ya, I miss my baby brother." Kagome pouted and laughed.

"How old is he?" Sango asked her curiously.

"He's actually nineteen about to turn twenty. I can't believe how old he is though." She sighed.

"So is mine." Sango laughed. "Ya I know how you feel." Sango smiled.

"But the little jerk never calls." Kagome laughed.

"Are you going to take Inuyasha with you?" Sango asked curiously.

"Take Inuyasha where? To my family's house?" Kagome asked and Sango nodded. "I guess I could. It might be fun. Ya I think I will." Kagome smiled with a nod.

"I don't want to look at these dresses right now. I'm going to just wear a dress I have, i'd rather spend my money on something i'll wear more then once." Sango sighed and looked over to where Ayame was.

"Ya your right. I think i'll do the same thing." Kagome said and stopped looking through the racks.

"Let's get out of here." Sango told her.

"Ok, you going to tell the others?" Kagome asked her.

"Ya, hey Ayame we already have dresses so we're going to go walk around the mall." Sango said.

"Ok, just meet us at the food court." Ayame told her.

"We will." Kagome nodded.

"Cheaters." Rin said shaking her head and Kagome shrugged with a laugh as she walked out with Sango.

"So how are you and Inuyasha doing?" Sango asked curiously.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know. Just how your doing." Sango shrugged.

"Good I guess. I don't know, by the way he acts around everyone I would have never guessed he could be so sweet. Gods I love seeing him smile too." Kagome giggled.

"Got it bad." Sango laughed.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

"You like him don't you?" Sango asked her.

"Of course I like him, I wouldn't be going out with him if I didn't." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"No...I mean more then you did when you started going out with him." Sango told her.

"Of course. I just love him being around and just holding me." She said honestly with a slight blush from actually saying it out loud.

"Could you...maybe...be falling for him?" Sango asked slyly.

"Falling for him?...Y-You mean...in love?" Kagome asked with a deep blush now covering her cheeks. "I never really thought about it...I don't know. I mean I know I like him alot but love?...I'm not sure if i'm actually ready to fall in love." Kagome blushed.

"Damn Kagome, calm down." Sango laughed when she noticed her blush.

"I'm sorry but...you kind of caught me off guard there." Kagome shrugged with a slight laugh. "I know I love him being around and I get butterflies when he kisses me and looks at me. But...I don't know." Kagome said hesitantly.

"Aww, it's ok. I can't wait till you do though, that will be my main goal." Sango smiled.

"Your goal? What do you mean your goal?" Kagome asked her.

"Well...I knew you had a crush on Inuyasha...and I knew Inuyasha kinda liked you on the trip so...I talked to him after that time he kissed you and asked him some stuff that made him think alot which may have been the reason he ignored you alot cause he was confused but...well after I beat him up a couple of times and he had admitted to me that he liked you I made him find a way to tell you." Sango explained with a pleased smile. Kagome stopped walking and just looked at Sango with a surprised look.

"Sango!...I guess I should be thanking you then. He is so hott." Kagome giggled.

"Eww, I don't want to hear that. He's practically my brother." Sango laughed.

"Oh then I guess you wouldn't want to hear that he is such a good kisser." Kagome laughed as Sango covered her ears.

"Shut up Kagome!" Sango yelled trying to tune her out.

"Ok ok ok...i'll stop." Kagome laughed as Sango dropped her arms. "Oh ya he has such a sexy body." Kagome said before she started running down the mall while laughing as Sango chased after her.

"Get back here!" Sango yelled as she ran. Kagome turned into the store she wanted to go to and stopped when she found some cute clothes.

"You can kill me later, first lets shop. Then i'll tell you more." Kagome grinned. Sango made a face and nodded.

"Let's shop...please." Sango said making a face like she was going to gag.

"We need to go partying. I mean that time at that club was fun...we need to do that again...only differently." Kagome laughed.

"Ya we do. And not smoking this time though and maybe not as many drinks for you." Sango laughed along with her. They stayed in that store for at least fourty minutes looking through clothes until they decided to check out. "This time when I give you the clothes I chose for you, you can't freak." Sango told her.

"Fine. Same to you. It was only two outfits anyway." Kagome said as she held her hand out as they waited in line.

"Ya right, i'm waiting till you get home to give it to you." Sango stuck her tongue out.

"Fine." Kagome nodded and paid for her clothes and the clothes she got for Sango and Sango went to another cash register to pay for her clothes and the clothes she got Kagome.

"Let's go look for the guys." Sango told her.

"Where do you think they'd be?" Kagome asked.

"Either in the arcade, the weapon store or the lingerie store." Sango listed off.

"Lingerie store?" Kagome asked.

"Knowing them ya." Sango nodded.

"Perverts." Kagome said simply.

"Yup. Let's find them." Sango said.

"Ya so you can see how hott Inuyasha is." Kagome laughed.

"Kagome...run." Sango said simply as Kagome took off that moment and Sango ran after her. Kagome went straight to the arcade glad to find them in the back. The moment she saw Inuyasha she ran over to him and hid behind him.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Shh. Maybe she wont see me." Kagome whispered then ran behind one of the machines.

"Uhh...your girl has problems." Miroku said simply then saw Sango run by and Inuyasha gave him a questioning look.

"Same for you." Inuyasha said.

"Where's Kagome?" Sango asked them. Inuyasha shrugged and Miroku just looked at Inuyasha with a nod. She heard laughing and walked over to the machine.

"Should we?" Inuyasha asked Miroku.

"Might as well." Miroku shrugged. The other guys just started walking out of the arcade away from them. Miroku grabbed Sango and pulled her away from the machine so Kagome could get out. "Is this going to become a routine everytime we go somewhere together?" Miroku asked.

"Maybe." Kagome said simply with a smile as she got out and walked over to Inuyasha. Sango shrugged and smiled when she looked at Kagome and turned around to kiss Miroku. He was surprised at first and surprised but responded instantly.

"Ugh gross. Sango...please." Inuyasha said and looked away. Kagome couldn't help but start to laugh. "What's wrong with you?" Inuyasha asked. She shook her head and smiled with a shrug.

"Let's leave them." Kagome said and started walking away. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her from behind as he walked with her out of the arcade. "So what did you do this whole time?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Nothing, follow Koga around as he looked at tuxedos. It was so boring." Inuyasha sighed.

"Aww poor baby." Kagome teased as she laughed and they sat on a bench and he pulled her to sit on his lap. "Well it seems like you bought something." She told him.

"Ya some shirts and pants. What about you?" He asked as he grabbed her bag.

"Just some clothes after me and Sango ditches the others." Kagome said as she watched him look though her bag.

"Umm...isn't this kind of...short?" He asked as he pulled out a piece of clothing.

"That's a shirt." She told him.

"Ya I figured that but...what exactly do you wear it with?" He asked as he looked at it.

"You wear it like that. It's not mine. It's for Sango." Kagome laughed.

"Oh gross..." He said simply and dropped it back into the bag. "I've seen shirts like that but none that short." He said referring to the tube top.

"Ya I know." Kagome laughed. "That's what she gets for that leather outfit she got me. She got me something too. She wont let me see it until I get home she said." She shrugged.

"I don't know. That outfit didn't look to bad on you." He chuckled when she glarred at him and sat back while pulling her closer. He felt her jump when his arm slid across her side. "Whoa are you ok? Did I hurt you?" He asked her worriedly. She shook her head and looked away trying to keep in the pain. "Then why aren't you looking at me?" He asked her and moved her to sit next to him. "I'm so sorry." He said softly.

"It's ok. I'm ok now. It's getting better. It's almost gone now." She assured him.

"I'm sorry." He said softly and leaned toward her.

"It's ok, i'm sure you can make me feel better." She smiled shyly.

"Ya, maybe." He smirked as he let his lips brush against hers. She giggled as he kept brushing his lips against hers, teasing her.

"I think i'm going to throw up." Sango said as she stood there with Miroku.

"Your telling me." Miroku smirked. Both Inuyasha and Kagome turned to look at the two.

"Then don't look." Inuyasha said simply with a smirk before kissing Kagome fully on the lips.

"Ugh...trying not to." Sango said and looked away.

"Hey you guys let's go." Ayame said as she walked over. "Why is it you two every time we have to go somewhere?" Ayame asked with a smirk.

"It's still new to them, they can't keep their hands off each other." Miroku smirked.

"Funny." Inuyasha said before he stood up along with Kagome.

"Let's go, we're sorta running behind. I told Kaede four o'clock and it's already four fifteen." Shippo told them as he looked at his watch.

"Ok let's go." Ayame told them.

"Hey Kagome want to trade clothes in the car?" Sango asked.

"Sure." Kagome smiled.

"I can take some people in my car." Inuyasha offered.

"Good, you'll take me, Kagome and Miroku." Sango smiled as they walked to his car.

"Sure Sango, will that be all?" He asked with a roll of his eyes.

"No that's ok." She smirked and got in the back. Kagome got in the back with her and smirked as she put her bag on her lap.

"Ready?" Kagome asked as Miroku got in the passenger seat while Inuyasha started the car.

"Sure." Sango smiled. Kagome pulled out the piece of clothing Inuyasha had asked about earlier, which was the pink tube top that was only meant to cover her breast and that's about it. Sango glarred at Kagome as she pulled out the black mini skirt to go with it. "Well I guess there's some clothes that will go into my stash for when I get drunk." Sango smirked as she looked at the clothes questionably. "My turn." She smirked as she pulled out the first piece of clothing.

"Well your money might have just went to waste." Kagome laughed as she looked at the small leather pants with chains hanging down the side. They looked like they would be really tight.

"You never know." Sango shrugged with a smirk and pulled out the top to go with it which was what looked like a leather bra with chains and zippers on it.

"Excuse me, what the hell is that?" Kagome asked. "I never saw anything like that where we were looking." Kagome told her as she starred at the piece of clothing.

"Well thats what you get for walking off. You left the chance for me to look else where. And it's not like it's something bad. These are normal. You just wear them just like a bra but without your other clothes." Sango laughed. "I forgot the word for it."

"Kind of revealing don't you think. You want me turn into some kind of biker chick or something? What's with leather all the time?" Kagome asked. Sango smirked and just shrugged. "I'm not letting you see the rest till you go home." Kagome told her as they pulled into the driveway.

"Inuyasha! Don't you think Kagome would just look so cute in this?" Sango asked as she got out of the car and showed him the outfit. He chocked a bit when he saw the outfit and looked at it with a surprised look.

"Where exactly is the rest of it?" Inuyasha asked and looked around as if to make sure no one was looking.

"Exactly!" Kagome said and shoved the clothes into the bag.

"Ya, I bet Inuyasha would say other-wise if you actually wore it." Sango smirked.

"You and your dirty mind." Kagome rolled her eyes. Sango sighed and nodded.

"That's what happens when you hang with these guys for to long." She shrugged and laughed as they walked up to the door while the other cars pulled into the driveway.


"Hey can you pass the rolls?" Miroku asked as they all sat at the table eating.

"Wow Kaede this is great." Kagome said as she stuck her fork in her food.

"Ya it is." Sango said as she put food in her mouth.

"Well i'm glad you like it." Kaede laughed as she saw them eat. "So how is the club going?"

"It's good but I think I might have to sell it." Kagome said and took a sip of her drink.

"What!" Rin asked, surprised.

"Why?" Miroku asked.

"Ya you can't do that!" Sango told her.

"That's like our hang-out." Shippo told her. Kagome froze and looked at everyone when they all told her not to.

"Umm...ok...maybe I won't." She said carefully.

"I bet someone could take over it for a while." Inuyasha assured her.

"Why are you going somewhere?" Sango asked her.

"No...I just can't make my mind up for what I want to do with it. I wanted to remodel but that will cost alot and I want to keep it I just kind of need a break from the responsibility." Kagome told her. "I just can't pay for the club."

"I bet if we just all helped pay for it then we could keep it open." Miroku told her.

"No no no, you guys don't need to do that." Kagome assured them.

"Kagome, listen to me. You are our friend, we're not about to let you sell your club. You've grown on us to much." Sango smirked.

"She's right. Besides we want the club to stay open." Miroku told her.

"There is no way i'm going to let you close. If you close then I become job-less." Rin told her. "Now no one want's that." She laughed.

"See, I told you." Inuyasha chuckled.

"You guys are crazy, but i'll keep it open. And I'LL pay for it." Kagome laughed.

"How about this, you sell it to me since you wanted to sell it then after you decide on all the modifications and it gets finished then I sell it back to you." Miroku told her. Everyone got quiet and looked over at Kagome.

"After talking about it now I don't really want to give it up." Kagome laughed shyly.

"Well then you'll be manager." Miroku told her.

"I won't feel right about doing that." She shook her head.

"Co-manager?" Miroku asked.

"N-No." She said hesitantly. "I can figure this out." She assured him with a smile.

"Get Inuyasha to help you." Ayame offered.

"Like Inuyasha can pay for that. I don't want anyone paying for my club." She told them. Sango trid not to laugh and looked over at Miroku and then the others.

"Uhh...Inuyasha can pay for it." Sango told her.

"Ya but it's not my money and you know that." Inuyasha told her.

"Inuyasha you know it is. You just don't want it cause it's from your dad." Miroku rolled his eyes.

"What are you guys talking about?" Kagome asked as she tried to understand.

"Inuyashas' dad has alot of money but him and his dad don't quite get along." Shippo told her.

"As you saw on the trip." Sango told her.

"You should be grateful to him you know." Miroku told him.

"Shut up Miroku." Inuyasha glarred at him.

"Oh ya! Kaede did you want anything from the shrine? I'm going there this weekend." Kagome told her.

"No no child. Just tell your mother to get down here and visit you for once." Kaede smiled. Kagome laughed and nodded.

"Ok." She nodded. After they finished their meals they went into the living room drinking coffee and sodas.

"Aww look at little Shippo." Ayame said as she looked through a photo album.

"They're school pictures he used to give me. Sadly he stopped after a while though." Kaede laughed.

"Well I got older..." Shippo shrugged.

"That doesn't look like a school picture." Inuyasha said as he pointed at the picture and laughed. It was a picture of Shippo when he was younger with chocolate all over him.

"There's not really a difference. He's still the same runt." Koga chuckled.

"Funny." Shippo said sarcastically.

"Oh look that looks like..." Sango said and pointed at the picture then looked up at Kagome.

"I'll take that now." Kagome said and took the album from Sango.

"That was you wasn't it?" Sango laughed.

"Ya laugh it up. Well I hope you got a good look cause your not seeing it ever again." Kagome stuck her tongue out at her as she went back to her spot on Inuyasha's lap.

"I didn't get to see." Inuyasha told her.

"To bad." She laughed then got back up when he reached for the book. Shippo got up and held his arms out.

"Throw it over here." He told her. Kagome tossed the book to Shippo and he took off.

"Run Shippo!" Kagome laughed when Inuyasha grabbed her.

"You two still act the same way you did when I used to take care of you." Kaede laughed.

"Hey!" Kagome pouted.

"Hey!" Shippo yelled as he walked back into the room without the book.

"Wow and to think you always said I acted like a child." Rin laughed.

"Shut up Rin." Kagome glarred at her but then looked up when the front door opened.

"Where have you been?" Koga asked as Sesshomaru walked in.

"I had to run somewhere." He said simply and went over to sit next to Rin.

"I'm not a child." Shippo protested.

"You both are. Face it." Miroku laughed. Kagome and Shippo looked at each other and sighed. After they fought over who was more childish they decided to leave since Sango said Kaede shouldn't still have to look after two children after twenty years.

Kagome went home after getting the rest of her clothes from Sango and started packing so she could go to the shrine. She was glad when Inuyasha had decided to go with her and told him to pack some clothes and he said he'd pick her up the next morning.

THE.NEXT.DAY.

"Damn woman. Now I know why your so small. There is no way you can go up and down these steps everyday and not be able to keep a physique like that." Inuyasha said as they walked up the shrine steps. Kagome laughed as she pulled him along up the stairs.

"Come on, it's not that bad." She said having to drag him the rest of the way since he was going slow. "Ok a few rules, don't upset my grandpa no metter what he says, be respectful and be nice to my brother." Kagome explained to him.

"You just told me the obvious but ok. It's not like i'm going to do the opposite of all that intentionally." He assured her.

"Ok ok. Just be yourself. That way they should like you." She smiled.

"Ya how can you be so sure?" He asked slyly.

"Because, that's the reason I like you." She told him. He smirked and was about to lean down to kiss her bt stopped when the front door opened.

"Haven't you ever heard of knocking? Damn."

"Sota!" Kagome yelled before she hugged him.

"Hey sis. You brought home a guy?" Sota asked with a chuckle.

"Why?" Kagome asked and gave him a narrowed look.

"Grandpa. This is going to be a scary visit." Sota said before walking in and taking a bite out of the apple he had. Kagome walked inside while dragging Inuyasha in behind her.

"Well he'll have to get used to it wont he?" Kagome smirked. "This is Inuyasha. Inuyasha this is my brother Sota." She said and went to sit on the couch. Inuyasha shook Sota's hand and nodded.

"Nice to meet you." Sota said simply.

"Should I be afraid or something?" Inuyasha asked him.

"I don't know. Your safe for now. They went somewhere...I think they told me where but I wasn't really listening." Sota shrugged then sat on the other couch. Inuyasha rolled his eyes then sat next to Kagome.

"You guys talk while I go put my stuff in my room." Kagome said as she got up.

"How old are you Sota?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"I'm nineteen. You?" Sota asked.

"Twenty five, so what should I expect?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well first my grandpa has to approve of you, or at least that's what he says but he hasn't ever liked any guy that Kagome has had a crush on." Sota shrugged as he continued eating his apple.

"Great." Inuyasha nodded.

"I think Kagome wants us to talk or something." Sota told him.

"About what?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know. Like basketball?"

"Ya..." Inuyasha said carefully.

"One on one?" Sota asked as he finished his apple.

"Let's go." Inuyasha smirked as he got up.

"Ok." Sota stook up and led Inuyasha to the backyard. Sota grabbed the ball and went over to the basketball court he got his mom and grandpa to put in after alot of begging when he was fifteen. "First to ten." Sota said as he bounced the ball.

"Your on." Inuyasha said as he crouched down and watched the ball as Sota bounced it from hand to hand. The moment Sota tried to turn and throw it into the hoop Inuyasha came and stole the ball and tossed it in.

"Lucky shot." Sota said as he got the ball and tossed it to Inuyasha.

"Ya right kid." Inuyasha said as they continued the game. This was the best way of getting to know each other they thought. Half an hour later Kagome came out of the back door and walked over to see them both sweating as they tossed each other the ball.

"Hey Kagome." Sota said when he saw her as he blocked the ball from Inuyasha.

"One shot and I beat your brother." Inuyasha smirked.

"Yes I saw. I've had a front row seat right up there." Kagome said and pointed to her window.

"Dammit, I almost had you." Sota said when Inuyasha got the last shot.

"Ya we were tied for the longest time. Not bad kid." Inuyasha said and hi fived him.

"That was a long game." Kagome told them.

"And you could have done better?" Sota asked her.

"I don't know." Kagome shrugged. Sota looked over at Inuyasha then ran over to Kagome with his arms open. "No! Sota! Your all sweaty!" Kagome yelled as she backed away from him. She almost fell back but Sota caught her and hugged her. "Ewww! Gross!" Kagome yelled as she tried to push him away while Inuyasha laughed. "You could help me!" Kagome yelled but finally pushed Sota away from her.

"Aww i'm sorry." Inuyasha said and came over and hugged her.

"You guys are nasty! I'm going to kill you Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as he held her tightly. Inuyasha smirked and captured her lips with his own.

"Ugh, I've just been scarred." Sota said and covered her eyes. "God my eyes are burning." Sota said and rubbed his eyes. Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome and threw the basketball at him. "Ow." Sota said when it hit him in the stomach.

"I'll scar you alright!" Kagome said and picked the ball up again and started running after him.

"Kagome!"

Kagome stopped and dropped the ball when she heard the familiar voice.

"Hey!" Kagome yelled as she ran over to her mother and hugged her.

"Your all wet." Her mother told her.

"Oh ya." Kagome laughed. "Forgot."

"What are you doing here?" Ms. Higurashi asked.

"Visiting, I haven't been by in a while now." Kagome shrugged.

"Well actually since your here I was wondering if you could watch your brother cause your grandfather and I have to go out of town." Ms. Higurashi said guiltily.

"What! Mom! I finally come home and you leave." Kagome sighed.

"Sorry honey. So who is this?" Ms. Higurashi asked when she saw Inuyasha standing next to Sota.

"This is Inuyasha." Kagome smiled. "This is my mom, she's leaving so we came up here for nothing." Kagome sighed.

"He just whooped my a-...I mean beat me in basketball." Sota corrected himself.

"Hey Sota you want to come to my place while mom is out of town?" Kagome asked.

"Sure." Sota shrugged.

"Hey! Who are you?" An old man asked as he walked over.

"Inuyasha sir." Inuyasha said as he stuck his hand out to shake the man's hand.

"Be nice grandpa." Kagome said before she hugged him.

"Kagome? I was actually talking about you." Her grandpa said. Kagome glarred at him and he laughed. "I kid I kid." Her grandfather laughed. "No really...who are you young man? What are you doing here?"

"Kagome invited me sir." Inuyasha said and looked over at Kagome for help.

"Ya, so your going to be nice cause I like Inuyasha." She said and stuck her tongue out at her grandpa.

"Hey now young lady." Her grandpa warned. Kagome laughed and hugged him once more.

"We have to get ready to go." Ms. Higurashi said.

"Already?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, sorry honey." Ms. Higurashi sighed as she started walking toward the house.

"Guess i'm going with you Kags." Sota shrugged.

"Don't you have school?" Kagome asked him.

"Thanksgiving break sis, duh." Sota rolled his eyes before walking toward the house.

"Young man you better respect my granddaughter, your lucky I have no time for questioning." Kagome's grandpa said before walking inside.

"Lucky me." Inuyasha said sarcastically then turned to look at Kagome. "So what now 'Kags'?" Inuyasha teased.

"We go home." Kagome smiled.

"That's kind of cute." Inuyasha told her.

"What is?" Kagome asked.

"'Kags' I'm going to start calling you that." He told her.

"Ok. Better then the other thing." She mumbled the rest to herself.

"What other thing would that be?" Inuyasha asked.

"Nothing, I better go put my clothes back in my bag." She smiled before going inside. He chuckled before following her in.


"I guess put your stuff in the other room." Kagome said as they walked into her apartment.

"Ok, be right back then." Sota said as he took his bag to the spare room and Kagome took her bag into her room. Inuyasha followed her to her room and sat on her bed as she put her clothes up.

"So what now kitten?" Inuyasha chuckled.

"First i'm going to kill Sota, then you." She glarred at him when he used the old nickname that Sota told him.

"Aww but it's cute." Inuyasha chuckled when he saw her pout.

"No it's dumb. I swear if you ever call me that in public i'll act like I don't even know you." She threatened him. He chuckled and nodded.

"Ok, I won't say it in public Kags." He smirked.

"Right." Kagome said and walked out of the room. Inuyasha got up and followed her out to the living room then Sota came out of the room once he was done. He got an instant glare from his sister and laughed as he went to sit on the couch. "Don't sit, I want to go to Sangos'." Kagome told him. He stood back up as Kagome walked to the door.

"I think it's safer if we're in public. There are witnesses." Inuyasha whispered to Sota. Kagome glarred at Inuyasha when the doorbell rang.

"Funny Inuyasha." Kagome said and opened the door. "Hey I was just about to go to your place."

"Oh, well glad your home. I was hoping you'd still be home." Sango told her as she walked in.

"Why what's going on?" Kagome asked her.

"Got the invitations." Sango said and handed her one. "Hey Kagome...who is that?" Sango whispered when she saw Sota.

"Excuse Sango, she has no manners." Inuyasha told Sota.

"Shut up Inuyasha. Hi i'm Sango." She waved.

"I'm Sota. Nice to meet you." He laughed.

"Oh! Your Kagome's brother!" Sango said.

"Ya, hi." Sota said.

"Are you going to the wedding?" Sango asked him.

"Uhh...what wedding?" Sota asked and looked over at Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Not my wedding!" Kagome told him with a laugh.

"Koga's wedding. A friend of ours." Inuyasha said before he started laughing.

"Ok Inuyasha it's not that funny." Kagome said giving him a narrowed look.

"Sorry." He said and cleared his throat to try to stop laughing.

"Anyways...you can come. My brother is going, he's your age." Sango told him.

"Cool. I guess I'll go then." Sota nodded.

"Hey can I see your dress that your going to wear?" Sango asked Kagome.

"Sure." Kagome nodded.

"Ya go show her kitten." Inuyasha said but didn't expect the purse that hit him after saying that.

"Kitten?" Sango asked.

"It's nothing." Kagome assured her as she led Sango to her room. She went into her closet and moved aside her clothes to get to the far right side and pulled out the dress.

"Oh that is so cute!" Sango told her as she looked the dress over.
