Chapter 3

"Okay, I slept with Kikyou, I admit it. But, it's not like I did it on purpose! It was an accident. You on the other hand left me without so much as a goodbye!" Inuyasha retorted. He didn't understand why she was still so upset over something that happened almost six years ago.

"How the hell can you accidentally sleep with someone, Inuyasha? That has got to be the best thing that has ever come out of your fucking mouth!" Kagome yelled. How dare he write his mistakes off as accidents? Okay, so what she did wasn't a very responsible or mature thing to do, but he cheated! That was worse, right?

"I was drunk, Kagome. You two favor a lot, and in my drunken stupor, I thought she was you. Look, I regret it, but I can't take it back and I can't change it, yeah? I hate admitting this, because I hate being wrong, but I was wrong. I was horribly wrong, and since that day I haven't had not one drop of alcohol. I'm sorry." Inuyasha told her quietly. It took a lot out of him to admit his feelings and to actually apologize. Kagome bowed her head to look at the floor. He had come clean and she finally had the closure she so desperately needed. She was ashamed of herself just as much as he was.

"I'm sorry too." She finally admitted after several moments of silence. It was hard saying those words to him, when for so long she felt as though she had done the right thing. She had felt that he had deserved it and she wanted him to hurt just as bad as she did. She just didn't realize that maybe he might have been hurting worse.

"Now, can we go sit down and discuss what we are going to do about our children?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome nodded and proceeded down the long hallway into her living room. She flopped down in her favorite recliner and put her feet up. Inuyasha sat down on black leather sofa next to her chair. They stared at each other for a minute, finally taking each other in. Kagome hadn't changed one bit, her black hair was longer now, falling halfway down her back. Her breasts were a tad bit larger than he remembered, but she'd had children since he last saw her. She looked tired, way more tired than he remembered her. She needed to be taken care of for once in her life.

Inuyasha still had his boyish features and rock hard physique. He still had his arrogant demeanor and soft heart. He seemed a lot calmer now than he had been years ago, and he looked a little bit thinner, like he had lost some of his muscle tone. This made her frown, was he eating properly? Was he just worried or busy and didn't have the time to look after his body they way he used to?

"You look good." Inuyasha told her, interrupting her thought. "Thanks, you don't look half bad yourself." She replied and looked away blushing. How did he still manage to get under her skin like nobody's business? But damn, the man had a body that was built for pleasing a woman.

"H-How are we going to do this?" Kagome asked him nervously. He could take their children away from her in a heartbeat; he had the money and power. He wasn't that cruel though, was he?

"Either we can go back to Japan and you can be with me and our children will be where they belong, or you can do this the hard way." He answered smoothly. "What's the hard way?" She asked. "Ah, see…I just knew you were going to ask that. I put a lot of thought into it, and you're gonna love this, yeah? If you don't agree to come to Japan with me, then the kids can come with me, and you can stay here and do whatever it is that you do." Sure, he could threaten her with taking Izanami and Koharu but he would never do that. She didn't have to know that of course. Yeah, he was playing dirty, but so had she.

"Mmm…Japan sounds lovely. Will Sango be going back as well?" Kagome asked defeated. She couldn't compete with him, and at least he was offering her a chance to be with their children. "I thought you would come around. Sango is already back in Japan, Love. Don't sound so disappointed either. This will be like paradise for you, I promise." Inuyasha said lovingly.

That's what she was afraid of. She didn't want to be too comfortable with Inuyasha, he could take everything away from her again, and she just wasn't ready to give him her heart yet. But even this early in his little game, she knew she had lost.

Kagome and Inuyasha set about sorting through the belongings in Kagome's small house. "Look, get rid of all of this…crap, and I'll buy you new things. Plus, you can't take all of this shit with you anyways." Inuyasha demanded. "No! I'm just going to leave my things here because you tell me to!" Kagome yelled back at him. "Okay, take pictures and other sentimental shit that you so obviously need, and take a few of the kid's favorite toys. Everything else can be thrown out." He argued back.

"Why are you so dead set on me getting rid of everything!?" Kagome shouted again. "Because, you don't need this stuff, I already have everything you and the kids could possibly want." He told her. That's just like him, he knew she was going to cave in and come back with him. That just burned her up even more. Just what the hell was wrong with him? Two could play that game. "Right, so I have my own room?" She asked him sweetly. "Of course I'll share my room with you, Kags." He answered cheerfully. Damn him. How did he always know how to out maneuver her?

"And Kikyou, I want her gone." "Kagome, she's been gone since the day you left. Didn't Sango tell you?" No…no she hadn't. It sure would have saved Kagome a lot of embarrassment at the present time. Gods she looked like a fucking idiot right now. "No, she neglected to tell me that." She answered coolly. She was beyond upset right now. Here he was coming into her house and telling her to move, and now he was telling her what she could and couldn't take!? What the fuck?!

Kagome walked into Izzi and Haru's room and began to pack away some of their favorite toys. She should have known that he was going to only want the best for his children. She was glad that he was taking an interest, but for how long? When was he going to get tired of being tied down? She didn't have time to think like that right now. Besides, if she could make in America with two small children then surely she could make it in Japan.

"What you doin' Mama?" Koharu asked Kagome with a puzzled look on his face. "Well baby, we're moving back to where I'm from. Won't that be fun?" "I don' wanna moooove! I hate mooooving!" Izanami whined so loudly that Kagome was sure that the neighbors heard her. Inuyasha walked into the room with them and bent down in front of Izzi. "You don't want to come back to Japan with me and Mommy?" He asked her softly, brushing the long black hair from her face. "No. I want to stay here!" She whined again.

"Okay, if that's what you want. We could always tell your neighbor to leave you food and water every so often." He smirked. "NO! Don't leave me!" She squealed and attached herself to his leg. "Well, now that you're coming with us, what would you like in your room? Any special toys?" He asked her. "Hmm…I want a princess bed with a cape around it!" She yelled excitedly. "A cape?" Inuyasha asked Kagome confused. "No, she means a canopy. She saw one at the mall several months ago, and it's been a big fascination for her since then." Kagome explained.

"Oh, okay. What else?" He asked her. "I want a snake!" Koharu asked, feeling like he was being left out. "Koharu, what have I told you about interrupting? I can promise you that your Daddy won't forget about you." Kagome said sternly. "Yes Mama, I'm sorry Daddy." He apologized sweetly.

"Well Daddy, I want a pony, a trampoween, a princess racecar, and a big swing set!" Izanami told them. "Alright, I promise you that you can have every one of those things." Inuyasha told her. "Inuyasha, I don't want them to be spoiled." Kagome glared. "They can have nice things and not be spoiled, Kagome." Yeah right, she knew he was going to spoil them. What, did he think she was an idiot?

"Okay, Koharu it's your turn. What do you want?" "I want a snake, a big racecar bed, a pool, and a playground!" He jumped up and down and clapped his hands. "Well, you both can have all of those things. Now, help your mother pack up the toys that you want to take back home with you." Inuyasha told them. The twins rushed off to help each other get packed.

"Out of curiosity, when are moving?" Kagome asked him. "Oh, I was thinking tonight." Inuyasha answered. "Tonight? I can't be ready by then! Are you nuts?" She asked him angrily. "No, I am not crazy. But it's not going to take you all day to figure out what you're going to bring with you."

And, he was right. Within three hours they were all sitting on Inuyasha's private jet. The kids were so excited and Kagome hoped that he wasn't going to let them down. She could handle it if he let her down, but not their children. It just wasn't right. The flight was long and they were all so tired. Kagome and the children fell asleep halfway through the flight and Inuyasha made a call to his best friend Miroku.

"Yes, Inuyasha?" Miroku's voice sounded sleepy and gruff.

"I need you and Sango to go shopping and buy everything on the list that I'm sending you through my blackberry. I need you to have this items set up and ready by two o'clock tomorrow afternoon." He answered.

"Are you serious? Its 3:00am here, Inuyasha. Couldn't you have just called me in like three hours?"

"Shut up and do it. I need it to be perfect, that's why I'm sending Sango with you. I already emailed her and she didn't bitch like you."

"Fine. Consider it done."

Inuyasha smiled and ended the call. He knew Miroku liked to complain, but he also knew that Miroku would never let him down. Between him and Sango, everything would be perfect for their arrival tomorrow. He finally allowed himself time to close his eyes and drift off to sleep.

"Inuyasha! Wake up; we've been landed in this stinking airport for thirty minutes now!" Kagome shouted into one of his sensitive dog ears. "Oi, wench! Don't shout!" He yelled back at her and rubbed his ears. "Mommy always yells so loud, and it hurts my ears too, Daddy." Koharu told him. "Well, Mommy is just going to have to stop yelling isn't she?" "Yes she is, Daddy!" Izanami nodded emphatically. Kagome and Inuyasha laughed and gathered their belongings and their children and exited the plane.

Kagome paused as she saw Inuyasha walking over to the shiny, silver Volvo. His taste in vehicles had certainly changed. Either that or he had bought a car to cater to their children. He had generally been fond of the Aston Martin two seater convertible, but that wouldn't hold all of them. Maybe he was responsible after all?

They finally got to Inuyasha's mansion that he so graciously shared with his brother Sesshomaru and his wife, Rin and their son Akira. Honestly, after Inuyasha and Sesshomaru got over their blatant hate for each other, they actually liked each other's company. Not to mention Rin was rather taken with Inuyasha and didn't see the point in living so far away from their family.

Nothing had really changed on the outside Kagome had noticed upon her arrival. No doubt Sango and Miroku still lived here, but hopefully some of Inuyasha's old friends no longer hung around. They were shady people and Kagome and Inuyasha had two children and there was no room for any mishaps.

Rin, Sesshomaru, and their son walked out of the front door and made their way towards them. No doubt that Kagome was going to like it here after all…
