.../...CHAPTER.15...
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I say would it be a sin
(Be a sin)
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows (Oooh)
To the sea (Oooh)
So it goes
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

Ch.15 Regrets
RECAP.
"The jewel is powerful right?" Kagome asked.
"Ya, the most powerful thing. Why?"
"It wanted to protect you cause it sensed something in you, it had it's reasons so maybe you have some type of future with the jewel." She told him.
"You sound like your dad." He smirked. "That sounds like something your dad would say."
"Then i'm glad to still be able to have some connection with him." She smiled.
"Your dad loved you so much." He told her.
"I know." She smirked. "I loved him just as much."
"After we argued over me being the best, yes I was the best in that gang." He chuckled.
"Cocky as a kid also, sheesh." Kagome laughed.
"Ya whatever." He smirked. "As I was saying, after we talked about that he went on, like I told you before about how the miko loves to meet people and how beautiful she was and what a little angel she is. He was right too." He smirked and saw her cheeks turn red. "Then he said what keeps him going was the thought of going home to his family every day and that was why he wouldn't give up. He told me that there was someone that would keep me going too. Someone I might not know yet but I would meet up with someday and that person would be my destiny. I think I found that person." He told her as she gave him a questioning look.
END.RECAP.
"You shouldn't say stuff like that unless your completely sure of yourself." Kagome told him.
"Oh i'm sure trust me." He smirked.
"Oh really? What is it like a hero or something?" She laughed.
"No more like a love." He said before he leaned forward and covered her lips with his own but pulled away when she didn't return the kiss. She looked at him and he could see the shock in her eyes. "I wanted to explain everything to you first so I wouldn't be hiding anything cause I realized how much you mean to me and it scared me and I didn't know what to do so I tried to stay away from you to prevent all of this but I realized that I can't stay away from you." He explained with a slight panic when she hadn't responded yet. "Kaggs...Kagome, you mean so much to me and...you just make it so hard for me to stop my feelings for you cause..." He started and looked staight into her dark brown eyes. "Because I-I love...you." He admitted to her. She looked at him and bit her lower lip with a blush to her cheeks not knowing what to do or say. "Can you say something at least?" He asked nervously.
She looked at him and remembered everything they went through since she met him. At first he was a real jerk to her but with his sweet moments. He would look out for her and protect her which had a big affect on her after thinking he hated her then after so much drama passed he finally kissed her and told her everything and he turned out to be so affectionate. He was the first guy that she had liked so much to just want to be around all the time, he just had some kind of affect on her that made her want to constantly be with him and she felt so safe with him especially when his arms were around her. The sound of his voice soothed her and not to mention it was sexy. She was able to learn so much from him and was also able to know the real him with his permission when so many others didn't have the privelage to know how he really was and here he was telling her that he...loved her. She knew she liked him alot, she loved him around her and she loved everything about him but did she really love him? The first time she talked about it with Sango she was still in her heavily crush stage. But how did she feel now after so much time had passed and she got to spend all that time with him? She remembered something that she had done a couple of weeks ago.
"Kagome plea-..." He started but stopped when she had a smile on her face.
"There will never come a day
You will ever hear me say " She began to sing softly and Inuyasha looked at her with a questioning gaze.
"That I want or need to be without you
I want to give my all
Baby just hold me
Simply control me
Because your arms they keep away the lonelies
When I look into your eyes
Then I realize
All I need is you in my life
All I need is you in my life...
Cuz I never felt this way about lovin
Nooo
Never felt so good baby
Never felt this way about lovin
It feels so good" She finished the short song she remembered that she had written one night when she couldn't sleep and all she could do was think about him. She smiled before she wrapped her arms around his neck practically jumping on him, making him fall back and she giggled before she leaned down to him and kissed him.
He slowly reached around her and wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss. After hearing the lyrics he felt a little better but wanted to hear what she meant from her in words.
"Inuyasha..." She said between kisses before she pulled away from him and looked down at him. "I love you Inuyasha." She said softly with a blush. He let out a relieved sigh and let his nerves relax from stressing so much and tightened his grip around her.
"I love you so much Kagome." He whispered before he began to nip at her neck as the butterflies returned. "Where did that song come from?" He pulled away and asked curiously.
"I couldn't sleep...and I was thinking about you...and I wrote it." She explained shyly. He smirked and gave her a light kiss.
"Sing me another one." He smiled and turned so she was under him.
"What if there isn't another one?" She asked slyly.
"But there is, I can tell by the way you said that." He told her.
"Lately when I look into your eyes I realize
You're the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe
How lovely you make me feel inside" She began to sing with a smile since he was right.
"You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz " She stopped for a moment and left a light kiss on his lips before continuing.
"It seems like the light you give?
From the start you told me, I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring
I want to give you everything
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control these butterflyz" She was cut off when Inuyasha covered her mouth with his own. She closed her eyes and returned the kiss. She smiled into the kiss and he pulled away to let her go on.
"You and I are destiny
I know now you were made for me,
Oh oh ooh
I can't control it
It's driving me
Taking over me" She sang and arched her back to him as she let her feelings soak into the song. He reached his hand behind her and slid it from her shoulders down to the small of her back as she lied her back down on the blanket.
"ohhh
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control, I can't control it
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz" She sang and reached up to rub his cute little ear.
"Oh, oh no uh uh
You give me something I just can't deny Something that's so sweet I just can't control the way I feel
oh no oh no oh no oh no
You give me something I just can't deny Something that's so sweet I just can't control the way I feel
Ohh I never felt like this." She finished off softly as she slid her hand down to stroke his cheek and he leaned down and nuzzled her cheek.
"You and me both baby." He said quietly before leaving a light kiss on her neck along with a couple of light nips.
"Inuyasha, will you promise me something?" Kagome asked quietly.
"Anything." He whispered with a kiss to her cheek.
"You wont leave on those missions anymore, that you'll stay with me." She told him.
"Kagome...I...I'll be with you always if you let me even forever if I can but..." He started and she sighed and looked away from him when he said 'but'. He sighed not wanting to make her feel this way. "Kagome I love you." He told her then nodded. "I won't go on as many missions, i'll stay here...with you." He smirked and she looked at him with a smile and threw her arms around his neck.
"Promise?" She asked and pulled back to be able to look at him.
"Promise." He said and held out his pinky with a smirk. She laughed before linking her pinky with his. He chuckled before leaning down to kiss her fully on the lips.
Inuyasha and Kagome both sat in a back office of the club the next day with Kagome in his lap on the couch while they watched tv asking each other random questions.
"My turn." Kagome smiled. "What would you do if...hmm..." She stopped to think but then smiled slyly and turned her head to look at him. "If Hojo showed up." She nodded with a smirk.
"What would I do? I'd fucking beat his ass for ever bothering you." He told her with a slight growl to his voice.
"You better not." Kagome laughed.
"And why not?" He asked her.
"Because you'd be the one getting in trouble...wait till he attacks first so you can say you were defending yourself." She smiled.
"Good idea." He chuckled.
"Your turn." She laughed.
"Ok...what would you do if...if another girl flirted with me?" He asked with a smirk.
"I'd kick your ass." She glarred at him.
"What! Why me!" He asked out.
"Cause she wouldn't flirt with you if you wouldn't flirt back." She told him with a nod and crossed her arms.
"Man that's fucked up." He sighed. "Ok well what if I wasn't flirting with her and she just hits on me?" He asked.
"What makes you think she would?" She smirked.
"Ouch, that hurts." He said with a narrowed look. She laughed and shook her head.
"Ok i'm sorry. I'd have to tell her off then yell at you for not telling her to back off." She told him.
"Everything that happens would be my fault. How messed up is that." He shook his head and looked away from her.
"Aww, well just don't mess with that girl." Kagome laughed. "It might happen cause your just so sexy so watch out." She told him with a laugh.
"That sounded like sarcasm to me..." He said dully and glarred at her.
"Well it wasn't, your to damn hott for it to be." She smirked with a blush.
"I know." He smirked.
"Shouldn't have said anything, your already cocky enough." Kagome laughed when he sent her a glare.
"I told you already, it's confidence not cockiness." He mumbled.
"Like I said before, same difference." She laughed and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Your a bitch." He said simply.
"What! Well your a jerk!" She told him with a glare. He chuckled and captured her lips in a full lip lock.
"If I didn't know any better, i'd say you weren't even watching the tv." Miroku chuckled as he walked in. Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome and sent Miroku a glare.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Yash! I'm hurt! I can't come and just check on my favorite couple?" Miroku asked with a hurt look.
"No." Inuyasha said simply.
"Well your right, I need to talk to you about something Inuyasha." Miroku said in a more serious tone.
"About what?" Inuyasha asked also becoming serious from the tone in his voice as he sat up.
"It's...private." Miroku said and looked at Kagome. "Sorry Kaggs." He apologized.
"It's ok. I can go if you want." She said and stood up.
"Actually I need Inuyasha to come with me somewhere." Miroku told her.
"Ok..." Kagome said carefully, a little afraid of what was making them both sound so serious.
"Now?" Inuyasha asked.
"Something tells me it would be very important to you." Miroku told him. Inuyasha nodded and gave Kagome a quick kiss on the lips as Miroku walked back to the door.
"I'll call you later." He whispered to her. She nodded and returned the kiss. "I love you." He said before heading to the door and she nodded as she watched the two walk out with a worried feeling.
"'I love you'?" Miroku asked when they walked out of the room. "When did this happen?"
"Can it Roku." Inuyasha glarred.
"Well this just makes what I need to show you even worse." Miroku told him and Inuyasha looked at him questioningly then stopped in his tracks.
"I'm not going anywhere until you assure me that this isn't about Kagome." Inuyasha said sternly.
"I wish I could man." Miroku sighed with a shrug.
"What's going on? What is this about?" Inuyasha asked with a growl.
"It's better if I show you." Miroku nodded.
"Then show me now." Inuyasha said as they walked quickly outside the club and to Miroku's car. Miroku drove to the den where the gang was and led Inuyasha to a back room where all the computers were and took him to the fax machine where a single sheet of paper was left in it. Miroku nodded when Inuyasha looked back at him from the paper and Inuyasha reached down for it and began to read it. He growled when he saw who it was from but continued to read. His hand lifted to his forehead as he read on. He read the rest with a glare and then crumbled the piece of paper when he finished and threw it against the wall. "This is bullshit! She isn't a part of any of this crap!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I know as well as you do that this is fucking garbage but we need to take care of this before they take action." Miroku explained to him.
"Your right, but i'm going alone." Inuyasha said and looked up at him.
"What! Why? I'll go with you!" Miroku told him.
"This is my responsibility, it says for Inuyasha to go not Inuyasha and Miroku. I am not screwing this up and risking loosing her. Your just going to have to wish me luck." Inuyasha told him.
"Good luck...but when are you going?" Miroku asked.
"It said to leave a week after new years." Inuyasha told him as he looked down at the floor.
"What are we supposed to tell Kagome?"
"Don't." Inuyasha said simply. "I don't want her to know about any of this."
"You need to tell her though, how are you supposed to explain it when you leave?" Miroku asked him.
"I'm going to have to just...stop this." Inuyasha sighed.
"You can't do that!" Miroku yelled out of shock.
"I have to! It's the only way she wont be involved in this anymore!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"You know how much that will hurt her!" Miroku asked.
"Ya...well it'll hurt more to keep this going. Physically at least. I'm not going to allow it, besides...it's not going to hurt only her." Inuyasha muttered the last part as he walked out.
THAT.NIGHT.
RIINNNG RIINNNG
"Hello?" Kagome answered her phone.
"Hey, what's up?" Inuyasha asked.
"Nothing, everything ok? I figured you'd come back to the club cause Miroku went back." Kagome told him.
"Sorry, I had to take care of some stuff." He told her.
"Is everything ok though?" She asked again.
"Ya everything's going to be fine." He assured her.
"You sound sad or something." Kagome told him.
'Try wanting to commit suicide at the moment.' He thought. "No i'm fine, just tired I guess."
"Maybe you should get some sleep then." Kagome said with concern in her voice.
"I will but I want to tell you something first." He told her with a sigh. 'Come on Inuyasha...you have to do this. Just don't think about it and just do it. If you hurry and say it then hang up then you wont hear her cry.' He thought making himself feel worse.
"What do you want to tell me?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Kagome I don't..." He started. 'This is so much harder then the way I planned. Dammit, I just got her and now I have to lose her? I'm seriously going to get them for this.'
"You don't what?" Kagome asked.
'Ok just say it, think of her as Kikyo. That should make it real easy.' Inuyasha nodded but when he opened his mouth to talk nothing came out. 'There is no way Kagome can be compared to that bitch Kikyo. She is so much better. Why does this have to hurt so much?' He thought and brought his hand to his chest.
"Inuyasha? You there?" Kagome asked when she got no response.
"Uh ya." Inuyasha said.
"Oh, well? You don't what?" Kagome asked again.
"I don't think i'll be on time to the club tomorrow." He said with his eyes tightly shut as he kicked himself on the inside for not telling her what he needed to say.
"Oh ok, it's ok. Sango will be coming by too by the way, just make sure you grab some food for everyone." She smirked but let it fade when she still felt like something was bothering Inuyasha.
"Ok, see you tomorrow." He told her.
"Night, I love you." Kagome told him.
"...I-I love you too, good night." He said hesitantly making it harder for himself to do what he knew he had to do.
KAGOME.
"I wonder if he's ok." She wondered to herself after she hung up then walked back to the couch and picked up her mail she left on the coffee table. She picked up the one that drew the most attention just by the sender's address.
'Tokyo University College
6980 Chiku Lane
Tokyo, Japan 85337'
"It came..." She said hesitantly as she picked up the letter. She slowly opened up the envelope and pulled out the typed letter and began to read it.
INUYASHA.
"I love her way to much to so that, wouldn't that be...I don't know...wrong?" Inuyasha asked.
"No cause you'll be back. You'll hurt her the most if you break up with her. Yash believe me when I say she'll be happy to see you when you return after she has some time." Sango explained over the phone.
"So I just act like nothing is wrong at all and then when it comes time for me to leave then what am I supposed to say to her?" He asked with irritation.
"Tell her the truth, you shouldn't lie to her." Sango told him.
"And if this happens again afterwards?" Inuyasha continued his questioning.
"Then we'll take care of it." Sango said simply. "Stop sweating it Yash. Everything will be ok. We'll take care of her while your gone too. You know I won't let her stay upset, Kagome's my friend." Sango assured him.
"I know...I guess I freaked out when I read that letter. I'm starting to think I shouldn't have ever gotten so far with her though." He sighed.
"Well once you tell her you love her then it's hard to take it back." Sango told him. "Don't regret what you did, just go with the way you feel about her...just don't break up with her." She added the last part quickly.
"I don't think I can...I tried already...it's to hard." He sighed.
"Is Inuyasha Kappei admitting defeat for once?" Sango asked with a laugh. "So you've finally been brought down to your knees then." Sango teased.
"Ya...only for Kagome though. If you know what I mean." Inuyasha said the last sentence quietly.
"Ew gross." Sango said simply and Inuyasha laughed. "Thanks for sharing that...I guess I could always share with Kagome since you were so kind to share with me, then she'd know what kind of power she has over you." Sango said slyly.
"Bitch." Inuyasha muttered.
"Then stop sounding like Miroku, one pervert is enough." Sango sighed then broke out into a laugh when Inuyasha growled but let it die with a sigh.
"...Sango...I don't know what i'm doing anymore." Inuyasha said with a softness to his voice.
"Then just do what I say." Sango joked.
"Sango i'm being serious here. I don't want to screw this up but..." He cut himself off.
"Your not. Damn Inuyasha, she's going to be fine. It's just a stupid threat to get you there. They wont mess with her cause they don't even know where she is but you should just go and take them their stuff so they don't look for her. You've been doing this for years, you know how it works." Sango assured him.
"Well what if I don't like how it works anymore?" Inuyasha growled.
"Isn't that why you always told me and Miroku to keep our relationship down so they wouldn't threaten us? Sorry to mention this but when you went out with Kikyo you made sure it was kept quiet so nothing would happen, maybe you should have done the same with Kagome. I know it's hard but with all this...you know?" Sango sighed.
"I know...that's why this...this will be my last run." Inuyasha said as his final decision.
"Wha-...wait, what do you mean? I'm sorry i've known you so long and the way you made that sound may have made me think of something else, clarify what you meant by that." Sango told him.
"You heard me right. I'm done with this...for good." He added the last part on.
"Ok ok ok, i'm sorry I think my hearing is going or something. Damn phones but...now are you saying your done with the gang?" Sango asked again from her shock.
"You really know how to irritate a person...yes Sango the gang! Damn woman." Inuyasha rolled his eyes even though she couldn't see it.
"Holy shit...I better call an exorcist or something, I think you've been possesed or something. Is this Inuyasha i'm talking to? Inuyasha Kappei? There is no way this can be Inuyasha, he's like my own brother and he's never been able to surprise me. Maybe I have the wrong number or something cause I know Inuyasha and i've never heard him talk about leaving the gang on serious matters." Sango said as she walked with her hand to her chest out of surprise.
"Are you done yet?" Inuyasha asked dully with a sigh.
"Shut up before I smack you."
"Oh sure let me see you reach through the phone." Inuyasha laughed at the stupid comment.
"Ok well excuse me I just can't believe what i'm hearing. Your the one who swore to this gang and let it take over your life. I shouldn't say this cause I know your head is big enough but your the best man what are you going to tell the others? They already lost Koga and once you leave so will Miroku, that gang is going to fall apart once you leave." Sango explained to him. "I'm not trying to change your mind, i'm just curious is all."
"I know, they're going to have to go on with their lives. You asked me before if I would ever leave the gang and ever since we started after Tamashii tried to convince us to get out I said the same thing that I would never leave unless I had a good enough reason cause to be honest that gang was my life. We keep saying it's been about three years cause that's when we got so involved but let's face it, it's been nine years or was it twelve...can't remember. But you try changing your life from doing something that seems like a routine. It's hard to break that." Inuyasha explained as he lied back on his couch and reached into the small drawer beside it.
"You don't have to tell me that cause i've been there and done that. I quit and ya it's hard which is why I jumped in and helped you guys every so often but what are you going to do? Life changes and for us it changed for the best." Sango told him.
"Ya I guess. For the first time in my life I was scared out of my mind last night." Inuyasha admitted.
"When you told her you loved her?" Sango asked.
"How'd you know?"
"Cause that's how I felt with Miroku. You never know what the other person is going to say and it scares you the most cause once you tell them it could make you or break you." Sango told him.
"Hell ya it can. I thought I was going to die when she didn't say anything. I almost died." He said and heard Sango laugh. "I'm serious." He said with a chuckle. "But then...when I got that letter...I thought my heart was about to give out. It's scary as hell, this thing." Inuyasha sighed.
"Ya, and it's called love." Sango corrected him.
"Whatever, I just gotta figure out what to tell Kagome. Now i'm going to shut up before I say something I shouldn't cause i'm so tired I can't think straight." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Alright." Sango laughed. "I'll talk to you tomorrow then. Don't forget I want some fried rice and Miroku wants sushi...yuck." Sango told him.
"Fine." Inuyasha laughed.
"Hey i'm glad we got to talk, i've been wondering what's been up with you." Sango told him.
"Ya I know, good thing I talked to you before you beat it out of me." Inuyasha sighed.
"Good thinking." She laughed. "Night."
"Night." Inuyasha said and hung up.
THE.NEXT.DAY.-WELCOME.BACK.LUNCH.
"Mmm, this is good." Sango said as she ate her fried rice.
"It better be, that shit cost me ten dollars." Inuyasha complained and got up to walk to the bar and get everyone drinks.
"No no no, it cost ten dollars for the fried rice AND that nasty sushi!" Sango corrected him.
"It's not nasty." Miroku told her.
"Ya...it is." Rin nodded.
"Why aren't you eating Kagome?" Shippo asked when he noticed her sitting quietly.
"Oh, sorry kinda dazed off." Kagome smiled and continued to eat.
"Something bothering you?" Katsuki asked curiously.
"No, nothing bothering me." She smiled with a shrug.
"Liar." Sesshomaru said simply.
"Your not a very good liar." Koga told her.
"Sheesh everyone gang up on her." Ayame rolled her eyes.
"Ya you guys, back off a bit." Sango told them as Inuyasha came back and put the drinks on the table and sat next to Kagome.
"Hey something wrong?" Inuyasha asked when she wasn't eating again. Sango sighed and rolled her eyes. "What?"
"We just got through telling everyone to stop asking her." Ayame told him.
"Well I wasn't here." Inuyasha glarred at her.
"It's ok guys. I could say something if you'd all stop asking." Kagome said with a half smile.
"Well I-..." Sango started but Miroku put his hand over her mouth to let Kagome continue.
"Thank you." Kagome laughed. "I was just thinking, that's all. Nothing to freak out about." She said simply.
"That's it? Isn't there more you'd like to say?" Ayame asked.
"Ya like what you were thinking about?" Rin asked.
"Hey what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked her.
"You guys! I'll eat. Will that make you feel better?" Kagome asked.
"She doesn't have to tell you what she was thinking about." Sango told them after pulling Miroku's hand away. Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer and wrapped his arms around her with his chin resting on her shoulder as he whispered to her.
"Is everything ok?" He asked in a whisper and got a nod in response.
"Inuyasha! Stop asking her." Sango ordered.
"Well i'm just curious, damn woman." Inuyasha glarred at her.
"Ok, i'll tell you guys. I got a letter yesterday and..." She started but stopped when Miroku quickly looked at Inuyasha. "What?"
"Umm...nothing...what did the letter say?" Miroku asked nervously as Inuyasha let a growl slip out at the thought.
"It was...from the college...why?" Kagome asked and looked behind her at Inuyasha.
"Oh. What did it say?" Miroku asked with a relieved sigh and Inuyasha shrugged when she looked at him and also let out a relieved sigh.
"Why did you get a letter from the college?" Rin asked curiously.
"Cause I want to take a few clases..." Kagome said carefully.
"Your going back to school?" Sango asked.
"Ya...I was just thinking what i'd do with the club if I did...that's all." Kagome shrugged.
"Why do you want to go back to school?" Sesshomaru asked.
"To get a better education...and plus I need a business license to keep the club." She sighed. "An inspector told me about a week ago and was surprised to know i've had it this long without one."
"You don't need one." Ayame told her.
"Well that's what he said so I applied for the class and it will only take about two months." Kagome explained.
"Well that's cool." Rin nodded.
"Ya but I have to close the club until then." Kagome sighed.
"No you don't." Sesshomaru said simply.
"Uhh...well that's what he said." Kagome told him.
"Sesshomaru has a business license. He took all those classes, he has all those degrees and stuff." Inuyasha shrugged.
"What are you saying?" Kagome asked and looked over at Sesshomaru.
"He's saying, that he'll take over while your taking classes. Right Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked.
"Sure." Sesshomaru shrugged.
"No it's ok, you don't have t-..." Kagome said but Inuyasha put his hand over her mouth now.
"Just take the offer." Inuyasha told her and pulled his hand away.
"Fine." Kagome rolled her eyes with a smile then looked over at Sesshomaru. "Thank you so much Sesshomaru."
"Oh call him Sesshy." Inuyasha smirked.
"Watch it puppy." Sesshomaru glarred at him then turned to Kagome. "No problem." He said as the others laughed.
"Aww poor Sesshy." Inuyasha smiled.
"Poor Sesshy? What about poor puppy? Going to get hurt cheating on a girl the way you are." Sesshomaru said and shook his head slowly.
"Excuse me?" Kagome asked and looked at Inuyasha.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked.
"Poor Jakotsu." Sesshomaru sighed and it got quiet while everyone tried to hold in their laughter but failed as they all burst into laughter at the mention of the name.
"Fuck you." Inuyasha glarred at him.
"Jakotsu?" Kagome asked.
"Yes Inuyasha, tell Kagome about Jakotsu." Sesshomaru told him.
"Asshole." Inuyasha said.
"Who is Jakotsu?" Kagome asked as she pulled away from Inuyasha a bit.
"Inuyasha's admirer. 'He' is so in love with Inuyasha." Sesshomaru nodded.
"Wha-...he?" Kagome asked before she started laughing.
"Yes, he." Sesshomaru smirked.
"He's a fucking idiot who wont leave me alone." Inuyasha muttered.
"Oh wow, I remember Jakotsu." Sango nodded. "He wanted Inuyasha so badly because Inuyasha is 'so damn sexy'." Sango laughed.
"Do I hear sarcasm?" Inuyasha asked. "Well what about when he said Miroku was pretty good looking himself?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes well he wanted you more though." Miroku told him.
"Inuyasha! You said you weren't gay." Kagome teased him.
"Watch it bitch." Inuyasha growled.
"Ok guys, let's stop picking on Inuyasha." Kagome told them.
"Aww but it was so fun." Sesshomaru said.
"Ya but Inuyasha is such a poor sport." Miroku shrugged.
"Change of subject here, we meet up at the restaurant chosen out at eight for dinner." Sango told them all.
"Should we invite Jakostu?" Koga asked and got a growl from Inuyasha.
"You don't even deserve a welcome back dinner. A lunch should be good enough for you." Inuyasha told him.
"What about me?" Ayame asked.
"I didn't say you, we just don't have to invite Koga." Inuyasha shrugged.
"Ya but I want Koga there." Ayame told him with a smile.
"Ok guys that's enough. I'll see you guys later cause I have to get going." Miroku told them.
"Same here, I have to go make that phone call." Kagome smiled as she stood up. "Want to take me home?" She asked Inuyasha since he had driven her there.
"Sure, let's go." He said as he stood.
"See you guys tonight." Kagome waved as they walked out.
"Later." Koga said.
WEEKS.LATER.
"Kagome, wake up." Inuyasha said quietly as he shook her gently.
"No, go away." Kagome said tiredly.
"Come on baby, everything still needs to be set up." Inuyasha told her.
"I hate you." Kagome muttered as she sat up. Inuyasha chuckled and kissed her on the cheek.
"No you don't, you love me." He smirked. "Merry Christmas." He told her.
"Oh ya!" Kagome said as she jumped out of bed. "It's christmas!" She said as ran out of the room and into the bathroom to wash up. Inuyasha got up and walked into the living room as he started laying out a few presents. "Inuyasha." Kagome called as she walked into the living room.
"What?" He asked and looked over at her as she walked over to the kitchen door.
"Come here." She smiled.
"...why?" He asked carefully.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said as a warning. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked over to her and was surprised when she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head down as she pressed her lips against his. He only took a second to respond to the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her and licked her lips. She parted her lips and let him slip his tongue into her mouth as it instantly found hers. She stepped back a bit when he leaned down a bit more but lost her balance when she leaned against the open door and fell through and her back hit the floor with Inuyasha on top of her. "Oww." She said as she arched her back from the floor cause of the pain. "Merry Christmas." She laughed.
"Damn Kaggs, you ok?" Inuyasha asked with a chuckle as he lifted his wieght off of her.
"Ya." She laughed. Inuyasha stroked the side of her face which calmed her laughter. Kagome smiled when he looked down at her with his own smile and felt the return of the butterflies and she looked up into his amber eyes and saw the passion and love he held in them that only came out for her. She rested her hand over her stomach in hopes to stop them from fluttering so fast but they only moved more quickly. "The door was open." She blushed.
"We should be getting the place ready." He said as he leaned down to her and left a trail of light kisses over her neck.
"Ya...we should." Kagome agreed but pulled him up to her by his shirt and pressed her lips against his once again.
"Mm...Kaggs...baby...we have...to talk." Inuyasha told her between kisses. He finally pulled away after placing a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Really...there is something I need to tell you...that i've been putting off for a couple of weeks." Inuyasha told her.
"What is it?" She asked as he sat up.
"Let's get off the floor first." He chuckled as he stood and held a hand out for her to take.
"Ok." She laughed and let him take her to the living room to sit on the couch. "Oh ya I forgot to tell you, we're going to throw Ayame and Koga a baby shower once the new year starts." She smiled.
"I thought guys weren't supposed to go to those?" He asked.
"They aren't usually but this one's for both of them so guys can go. We'll probably throw her another one for just her too though." Kagome explained. "Me and Sango decided to throw it for her, you and Miroku are going to help right?" She smirked.
"Uhh...that's if i'm here." He said hesitantly.
"What do you mean?...Where are you going?" Kagome sat up straight and looked at him.
"That's what I need to talk to you about." He told her. "There's this thing I have to take care of and it's very important but I'll try hard not to stay gone long." He explained to her.
"Where are you going?" Kagome asked.
"I find out when I get a fax that will tell me where to go...after new years." He added on.
"...oh." She said but forced a smile for him. "It's ok." She shrugged.
"...Baby, it's not that I don't want to go." He told her.
"I know, I said it was ok." She shrugged again and stood. "Come on let's get everything ready." She told him. He sighed with a nod feeling guilty as ever.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Will you get that Inuyasha? I need to change." Kagome called out as she walked to her room.
"Sure." Inuyasha said and ran to the door.
"Hey, Merry Christmas." Sango said when he opened the door and gave him a quick hug.
"Merry Christmas, where's Miroku?" Inuyasha asked as he looked down the hall.
"Bringing up the presents." She told him as she walked in. "Where's Kagome?"
"Getting dressed."
"Excuse me?" Sango asked and looked at him.
"Don't even woman." Inuyasha warned her as she laughed.
"Miroku said he had a big surprise for me so we have to hurry this along cause I want my present." Sango smirked.
"Oh really? Any hints?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"No, she has to be patient." Miroku said as he walked in with a load of presents in his arms.
"Well the presents not for me, do I get any hints?" Inuyasha smirked.
"Suuure, you want your kiss on the lips or cheek?" He chuckled.
"On second thought i'll pass." Inuyasha muttered with a glare.
"That's not a hint. You just don't want anyone to have any hints." Sango glarred at him.
"I know." Miroku smirked. "I wonder if Kagome wants a hint." Miroku said with a thoughtful look.
"Don't even think it." Inuyasha growled.
"Don't even think what?" Kagome asked as she walked into the room.
"He doesn't want me to give you any hints about Sango's gift. Can't imagine why though." Miroku sighed.
"I want a hint!" Kagome said excitedly.
"No you don't. Not from this pervert." Inuyasha told her.
"Oh...nevermind." Kagome laughed before she gave Miroku and Sango both a hug. "Merry Christmas you guys."
"Merry Christmas, now are we going or what?" Sango asked with a smirk.
"Ya let me grab my jacket, oh can you guys help me take the presents for the others?" Kagome asked.
"Sure...let me put ya'lls presents under the tree." Miroku said as he took Kagome and Inuyasha's presents to the tree then grabbed the presents that were for other people and stuck them in a bag. They all had a bag full of presents and had to put half in Inuyasha's car and the other half in Miroku's car before they drove down to the club.
"Alright no getting drunk this time." Kagome laughed as her and Sango walked to the tables.
"You got that right." Sango laughed along as she helped Kagome put tables together. "So how many people are we talking about?"
"All of us, our families and just other friends I guess...I don't know. Ayame, Katsuki and Rin are in the kitchen starting the dinner." Kagome told her.
"Oh ok, I hope one of them know how to make a turkey." Sango laughed.
"...Shit...I knew I forgot something." Miroku as he walked over.
"...what?" Sango asked. "Miroku...please don't make me have to kill you." She warned him.
"I'm just kidding sweety." Miroku laughed. "Koga and Inuyasha are in there cooking it."
"They can cook? Why is this the first time i'm hearing this?" Kagome asked.
"They cook when they want to." Sango shrugged.
"Oh I need to see this." Kagome laughed as she dragged Sango to the kitchen with her. They walked into the kitchen and saw both Koga and Inuyasha cutting up vegetables with aprons on.
"Nice aprons you guys." Sango said trying to keep in her laughter.
"They were the only one's left, Kaede was so kind to let us use them." Koga muttered. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha trying hard to keep in her laughter.
"So...what's on the menu 'World's Greatest Mom'?" Kagome asked not being able to keep it in any longer as she burst out into laughter.
"Maybe you should be asking the '#1 Cook'." Sango laughed as she pointed to Koga. Both boys continued cutting vegetables with a growl.
"Hey girls, do we really want our food to be spiked?" Miroku asked.
"Ya, you wouldn't want to suddenly feel sick after eating turkey would you?" Koga asked them.
"Oh shut up." Ayame said as she threw a tomato at Koga.
"Hey! You almost got that in the stuffing!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Oh no! Not the stuffing!" Kagome said before she started laughing again.
"Quiet you." Inuyasha said and threw the tomato at her.
"Inuyasha it's called Midol, you should try it sometime." Miroku said before he also laughed.
"Midol this asshole." Inuyasha yelled before he threw his knife at Miroku.
"Holy shit!" Miroku yelled before ducking down before the knife stabbed into the wall behind him.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she looked over at Miroku in shock.
"No trying to kill my boyfriend!" Sango yelled at him as he pulled the knife out of the wall.
"What if he wouldn't have dodged that!" Rin asked.
"He would have." Inuyasha shrugged as he grabbed another knife and continued to cut vegetables but looked up when Kagome, Rin and Katsuki still looked at him out of shock. "What!"
"You tried to kill me dumbass." Miroku smirked as he took the knife from Sango and threw it at Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked up and caught the handle of the knife just before it hit him without a bit of worry.
"Thanks." Inuyasha said and wiped off the knife before using it to cut the parsley.
"Ok, I have to get out of here before I have a heart attack." Kagome said as she walked out of the kitchen with her hand over her chest.
"Way to freak her out." Sango laughed even though she felt she shouldn't be and walked out after Kagome.
"I'm going to laugh when one of you slip up and get hurt." Koga chuckled as he started adding the seasoning to the turkey.
"Ya right, like that'll ever happen." Miroku laughed. The other three girls just shook their heads as they went on with what they were doing as Inuyasha washed his hands before walking out after Kagome.
"Ya don't worry about it, they were only playing. They're stupid like that." Sango shrugged.
"Hey now." Inuyasha said as he walked over.
"Well you are." Sango said. "Just telling the truth." Sango smirked.
"Your so kind." Inuyasha said dully.
"You guys are dumb." Kagome laughed as she left them and walked back into the kitchen.
"How nice..." Sango said and sent a narrowed look toward Inuyasha before they both walked back to the kitchen.
"Wow that was great." Sango said. "I have to give you guys credit, that was actually good."
"Ya really, who knew you boys could cook. Everything was good but I was surprised about the vegetables and turkey tasting so good." Kagome laughed.
"Gee, thanks." Inuyasha sighed. "No respect Koga, we get no respect at all #1 cook." Inuyasha sighed.
"Your telling me World's Greatest Mom." Koga smirked before everyone started laughing.
"Well I think you both did very well." Kaede smiled.
"Ya it was great." Kohaku said.
"It could have been better." Kagome's grandfather said.
"Now now, I think the boys are very good cooks." Mrs. Houko said with a smile.
"Yes and it's great to see all of you on a better occasion." Mr. Kappei said as Inuyasha rolled his eyes and took a sip of his drink.
"And it's also good to see you two getting along so well." Mrs. Kappei said refferring to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
"I was actually surprised Koga invited us, it's like the older we get the more our children stray away from us." Mr. Matsuno, Koga's dad said.
"That is so true." Mrs. Kouji, Miroku's mom said.
"Oh no..." Miroku muttered.
"They are still children but act as though they know everything." Kagome's grandfather said.
"Kill me now." Kagome said quietly as she leaned against Inuyasha as he chuckled lightly while rubbing her shoulder.
"I'd have to disagree with you all. I think they know what is right." Inuyasha's grandfather, Mr. Kenichi said.
"You would say that." Mr. Kappei said and Inuyasha just glarred at his father while Sesshomaru shook his head.
"Excuse me!" Mr. Kenichi said.
"Well, I have to agree with Myouga." Ms. Higurashi nodded.
"Well we're all glad you all have something to say about us but i'd like to go ahead and give Sango my present." Miroku said as he tapped his fork against his glass.
"Now? I don't think now is a good time." Sango told him.
"Hey, it'll calm the chaos for a bit." Miroku shrugged as he got up from his chair. "I'm new to this so i'm going by how i've seen it." Miroku said as he got down on his knee.
"Uh, M-Miroku?" Sango asked as she watched him. There were gasps going around the table with a few smirks on a couple of the guy's faces.
"Sango...we've been together for a long time and I can't tell you how much I love you and your the only girl for me, your the only one that I want and I want to make it official. If you can't tell by now why i'm on one knee then I just look like an idiot." He smirked as he reached into his pocket. "But what i'm trying to say is...Sango, will you marry me?" He asked as he opened a small box to reveal a gold ring with a large diamond on it with two small diamonds on both sides of it. Sango gasped as she looked down at the ring and felt her eyes water and looked at Miroku with her hand over her mouth from her shock and nodded.
"Yes." She said, being the only thing she could say at the moment and Miroku hugged her tightly before pressing his lips to hers and let it turn into a long passionate kiss as everyone clapped for the two.
"Whoo! Go Sango!" Ayame yelled.
"Oh by the gods. My baby girl is getting married?" Mrs. Houko asked with excitement.
"That's what it sounded like." Kohaku said sarcastically. Mrs. Houko sent him a glare and hit him on the back of the head. "Ow mom." He complained.
"Don't make fun of your mother." Mrs. Houko told him.
"Now I know where Sango gets her attitude." Rin whispered to Sesshomaru making him smirk as he tried to hold back his laughter.
"Looks like we got another wedding to plan, willing to help Kagome?" Ayame asked.
"Of course." Kagome smiled as she stood up and walked over to Sango to give her a big hug after Miroku placed the ring on Sango's finger. Everyone gave Sango a hug afterwards before Sango walked back over to Miroku and gave him a big hug.
"I love you so much." She said quietly to him before she captured his lips in a short gentle kiss.
"I love you too." Miroku said when they separated, after a few minutes Inuyasha stood and cleared his throat.
"Getting married, that's a change. I know it will be fine though cause there is no other perfect couple other then you two." Inuyasha smirked. "
"We're not married yet." Sango laughed as she wiped away her tears.
"I know, just killing the awkward silence here." He shrugged.
"I'll be right back." Kagome said carefully as she stood.
"Where are you going?" Rin asked.
"I...think I smell something burning." Kagome said as she walked toward the kitchen.
"Shit!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran into the kitchen followed by Koga.
"Holy shit!" Koga yelled as Inuyasha ran for the fire extinguisher.
"There goes dessert." Inuyasha sighed as he put out the fierce flames that arose from the oven.
"Oh wow." Kagome said as she looked at the cake as Koga pulled it out.
"Ah! Hot!" Koga said as he threw the cake pan on the counter.
"No shit." Inuyasha muttered.
"Oh my..." Sango said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Well...this'll be a day none of us will ever forget." Koga shrugged with a chuckle before Inuyasha sprayed him with the fire extinguisher.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.
"I thought I saw fire!" Inuyasha defended himself.
"Asshole." Koga muttered as he grabbed a towel and started to clean off then went to the freezer and grabbed the ice cream. "No cake so I guess we wont be needing this. Take this dogboy." Koga said before sticking his hand on the container and throwing it at Inuyasha, hitting him in the chest.
"Damn wolf." Inuyasha muttered and got ready to spray the fire extinguisher but didn't get the chance when Kagome took it away.
"Oh no you don't!" Kagome told him. "You two act like children." She sighed with a shake of her head as she put it up.
"Sad isn't it?" Sango asked with a sigh.
"Ya ya ya, go back to your fiance." Inuyasha told her.
"Fine I will." Sango smiled before she walked out.
"Today was crazy, but a good day. Sango was so happy." Kagome smiled as her and Inuyasha sat on the couch at her apartment.
"Ya she was. It's good to see her so happy." Inuyasha smiled.
"To bad you and Koga had to ruin the moment and burn the cake." She rolled her eyes.
"Hey, the moment would have been just fine if you would have waited till after it was over to check on the kitchen." Inuyasha told her.
"Oh ya, and have the place burn down?" She asked and hit him playfully.
"At least the moment would have been saved." He chuckled.
"Sure it would have." She said sarcastically.
"Mhm..." He nodded as they starred at the tv for a few minutes. "What now?"
"Let's open presents!" Kagome said excitedly.
"Ok let's go." Inuyasha laughed at her excitement as they went over to the tree and Kagome grabbed the box closest to her.
"This one's from...your dad..." Kagome said and looked up at him to see his surprise.
"Your kidding me right?" He asked as he took the present from her and looked at the tag to see sure enough that there was a present from his father.
"See what it is." Kagome told him.
"I think i'll pass." He rolled his eyes and put it back on the floor.
"Inuyasha...your dad doesn't seem as bad as you make him out to be. I mean, I can tell you two don't get along and stuff but he cares for you. If he didn't he wouldn't have helped you out so many times." Kagome told him.
"He probably does it for my mom. He doesn't give a rats ass about anyone. Did you hear that comment he made at dinner? Kagome you just don't underst-...What are you doing?" He asked when he saw Kagome pick up the gift and start to rip the paper off.
"Proving you wrong." Kagome said simply as she lifted the lid off to find another box.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked as he took off the lid to that box to find yet another box.
"Your dad has one sense of humor." Kagome laughed as she watched Inuyasha pull off lids to several boxes as they got smaller.
"It's a note?" Inuyasha asked when he got to the smallest box and picked up the note to find a very small box.
Inuyasha,
It's about time you got to this letter, I was laughing the whole time I was putting the boxes inside each other but if you paid any attention you would have noticed that under the top of each box there was something taped to it. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas my son because I believe we've been in this battle of ours for quite a long time and it's due time we forgive and forget.
"Forgive and forget? Feh." Inuyasha rolled his eyes before he continued reading.
Right now your probably thinking 'Psh, forgive and forget? This old man is crazy.' And no your mother did not put me up to this. I've realized that we have drifted and being father and son that's not good. Your mother thinks I don't know anything about you and I told her, 'What is there to know? He's a twenty-five year old boy who can't do anything for himself.' But that's not true...as hard as this is to admit, I don't know anything about you because I spent all my time criticizing you for joining that gang when I should have been looking out for you more and as you kids say 'I should have had your back.'
"What the fuck?" Inuyasha asked as he laughed. Kagome smiled as she watched him read the letter.
Your probably laughing at me right now. Well since I don't seem to know what you like at all I had problems trying to pick out a gift, usually your mother buys the gifts but she made me go shopping. Wow, I now hate shopping. I'm son but I just went with what I thought you'd like. This is for not getting it for you when you turned eighteen. I promised to get it to you if you kept up your grades but I didn't keep up my end of the bargain. You kept up your grades in school but I held it against you since you joined that gang. I hope you like it, just don't get in trouble with it.
"Wha-...no way...it can't be." Inuyasha shook his head before he read on.
It's just I never liked you being in that gang and then you got involved with Kikyo. I'm sorry son but she was trouble from the start, I didn't really...approve of her, to me she was...let's not get into that, but Kagome...she's pretty special. Don't let her get away.
Inuyasha blushed and rolled his eyes not being able to believe what he was reading.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked when she saw him blush and held back a laugh.
"Uh, nothing." He said and continued reading.
Well have a good Christmas son. It'd be nice to hear from you.
Truce?
Inuyasha sighed and looked up at Kagome with a glare. "Damn you bitch." He shook his head. She laughed with a smile.
"I was right wasn't I?" She asked.
"Shut up woman." He muttered. She laughed before she hugged him.
"Told ya." She giggled. "What'd you get?" She asked curiously.
"I have no idea. Check all the box tops." He said as he opened the small box that was left then picked up a key that was inside. "...no..." He said simply.
"What!" Kagome asked as he looked down at the key in shock. "What is it?"
"I don't know...what did you find?" He asked with a bit of excitement.
"Uhh...car freshener?" She said questionably as she picked up the object and put it in one box. "Steering wheel cover..." She said as she put it into the box. "A red and black marker...uhh...ok..." She said as she looked oddly at the markers before putting that in the box too. "And a picture...of the clouds...with a blue line across the sky of the picture." Kagome said and handed it to him for him to see. Inuyasha took the picture and looked at it before he started laughing. He fell back on the floor from laughing so much. "Uhh...Inuyasha?" Kagome asked carefully.
"Holy shit." He said simply as he laughed. "Go ahead and open your presents he said as he tried to calm his laughter.
"Uhh...ok." She said as she looked at him oddly before she started opening her presents. They both went ahead and opened their presents at the same time. Kagome got a bracelet and a cute shirt from Sango and had gotten Inuyasha a cape and mask with a note saying,
I saw it and I couldn't pass it up. ROFLMAO!
Love, Sango
Apparently that was for laughs but his real gift was a necklace with a purple shade of beautiful beads with fangs between every so many beads. Kagome had gotten some perfume from Ayame which she probably got on her honeymoon along with cologne for Inuyasha. They had both gotten clothing and such from most of their friends but then lastly they both opened their gifts from Miroku.
"I'm afraid to know what's in these." Inuyasha said carefully as he smelled his present.
"Your terrible." Kagome laughed then opened her's. Inside was a small glass figurine of an angel and a card. She opened the card and read it.
Hey Kaggs,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! You've become one of the best of friends to me and everyone, your the one who keeps everyone in their good moods and I want you to know that i'm here for you no matter what and so are the others and that you can count on us for anything and DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK! lol We don't mind. We are actually all surprised Inuyasha was able to end up with such an angel like you, you've been able to change him for the better. He's never smiled as much as he has since you've came into his life and for this we're all glad and we love having you as our friend. Have a great christmas girl.
Love, Roku
P.S. lol Look in the box and you'll find some mistletoe, surprise Inuyasha a bit just don't surprise him to much if you know what I mean. lmao! Sorry sorry, my reputation preceeds me. lol.
"Oh gods." Kagome laughed as she picked up the mistletoe. "What'd you get?"
"A little dragon statue with another sword." He smiled as he shook his head as he checked it out. "The boy even sharpened it." He chuckled. "What'd you get?"
"This." She smirked as she went over to him and held the mistletoe over him before pressing her lips against his for a gentle kiss.
"I'll have to thank Miroku later." Inuyasha chuckled and captured her lips once again before he wrapped his arms around her waist letting the kiss evolve with more passion and love pouring into it as the seconds went by. Inuyasha reached up and grabbed the mistletoe from her hands and threw it behind him before he tightened his grip around her as he slowly laid her on her back without pulling away from her. She wrapped her arms around his neck just before a loud noise was made outside.
"What the hell was that?" Inuyasha asked as he pulled away from her as Kagome laughed.
"Fireworks. The landlord of the hotel does it every year. Like tradition." She shrugged and Inuyasha chuckled as he leaned down to her so he was at least an inch away from her lips.
"Fireworks huh? Interesting." He smirked as he let his lips lightly touch hers.
"Merry Christmas Inuyasha." She whispered.
"Merry Christmas baby." He whispered back. "Oh wait...you never opened my present." He realized and pulled away from her as she sat up.
"I forgot." She said as he picked up the small box and handed it to her. She tore off the paper and opened the small box that held a small silver ring with many small white jewels forming some kind of figure. "It's so pretty, but what is it?" She asked curiously as she looked at it in awe.
"I'm giving it to you as a promise ring, that i'll always be here for you and i'll never leave you. It's called a triquetra or also called a trinity symbol it symbolizes that the Holy Spirit is three beings of power, honor, and glory but is idivisibly one god. The diamonds along the celtic symbol forms the shape of the trinity symbol which also means..." He started but Kagome cut in.
"Eternity..." She said as she looked down at the ring then back up at him with a smile.
"Ya...how'd you know?" He asked.
"I've heard of the trinity symbol." She shrugged. "So your promising to stay with me for eternity?" She smirked.
"If that's what you want." He smirked back. She smiled before she wrapped her arms around him for a tight hug. He chuckled as he pushed her down. "I'm not done." He told her as he reached for the box and took out the small pillow that held the ring and pulled out a small bracelet. "This is just what's called celtic astrology jewelry." He said simply as he showed her.
"What does it mean?" She asked in wonderment as she looked down at the piece of jewelry.
"It's a pendent with the symbol of the month of your birthday. So this one is January for your birthday and this one means...Always looking ahead, these people are reliable, trustworthy and ambitious. They like to keep a low profile. Very passionate when their blood is up...hmm..." He said with a chuckle making her blush lightly. "They prefer the company of a very few close friends...interesting to know." He smirked. Kagome smiled with a blush before speaking.
"What's yours?"
"Mine?...Mine is, Brave and fearless like the Celtic New Year, they like to use their personal magnetism to influence others. Their intense emotions make them exciting and persistent lovers." He smirked.
"I know the brave and fearless part is true cause you keep trying to give me a heart attack when you do something but I don't know about the rest." She laughed.
"Want to find out?" He teased.
"Ya you wish." She shook her head at him then handed him his present and grabbed a blanket to put over her shoulders.
"Cold?" He asked and she nodded. He chuckled as he continued to open his present.
"You never wear one." She said when he looked at the nice watch.
"It's kind of hard when your fighting other gangs." He smirked as he put it on and looked at her when she handed him another present but this one was flat. "More?" He laughed as he took it and opened it up.
"I want to hear more of your songs." She smiled as he looked down at the music sheets with his name printed on the right top corner of each page.
"I don't think so...I don't write music anymore." He told her.
"Come on Inuyasha, you did when you had to. Why can't you?" She asked him.
"Why do you want to hear my music?" He asked curiously.
"Cause it's from you. I've seen you when you write music and I know you like to, you used to love music so much didn't you?" She asked him.
"Once upon a time ago ya..." He started but stopped and watched Kagome as she got up then came back with her guitar and started playing the intro to the song he wrote a long time ago that he played for the contest.
"Did you not feel anything when you played at the contest?" She asked him. He didn't answer as he came over and sat behind her.
"Look, let me show you." He chuckled as he grabbed her hand and grabbed the pick from her and played the intro once again. "Yes I love music, thank you for the gift." He rolled his eyes and placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder.
"That's what I thought." She smirked. "Are you staying the night?" She asked with a blush.
"Do you want me to?" He asked her a little surprised at the question.
"Maybe." She smirked. He laughed and kissed her gently on the lips.
Inuyasha lied next to Kagome thinking about what his dad said and looked on the night stand to see the keys lying in the box then reached for the phone. He hesitated and looked at the sleeping girl for a moment before he dialed the number.
"Hello?" A man's voice answered.
"Hello...dad?" Inuyasha said.
