Hey my wonderful readers

Okay, this chapter is my LONGEST yet. I typed it out before I wrote anything to you guys to see how many pages it would be on its own, it's 10, usually mine are 7 with my beginning rant and my review answers. So wow. All you people who wanted Kagome to come back so badly will love this chapter I'm sure. I do. Soon they will have to go back to school, it is Sunday after all. So until next time my lovely readers.

BoredGirl17: okay, you have to understand how confused she is right now. Have you ever been in an abusive relationship, especially when it's your father, and have you ever been raped, by two different men, one being your father? I doubt it, and if you have, I'm super sorry, but she's so confused right now, and she realized how much she missed Inuyasha. She does love him if you remember. She decided she needed to see him again. So that's what kind of story it is.

Princess-Serenity-Serena: thanks, I'm glad you like it. :D

Shichinintai's Girl: read on and you shall see just how cute it is. :P

PyroFreak101: she was only at Bankotsu's for a day, you guys act like she was there forever. Haha, I would never keep Inu and Kag apart too long.

MarineMP18: well thank you for that. I'm glad you're enjoying it so much. Don't worry, you're not rushing me, you're just giving me more inspiration to get it done. :D

Abused Abuser: seeing as I enjoyed writing this chapter the most out of all the other ones, I'm sure it's the cooliest. So worth the wait. :P haha, not that I'm conceited or anything, I just like this one. And yes, the nightmare is very sad.

KagomeMarie: yes, all seems well in Kagome's life at the moment aye?

Neko-chan7625: I'm glad she's going back too, it was no fun when she was at Bankotsu's cause Inuyasha was sad and Kagome was scared, but now all is well, for now. I'm glad you think I'm good with their personalities, honestly, I just start off with something I think they'd say and then the rest kind of writes itself.

Last chapter:

"I will, see you later then?"

"See you later big brother," she smiled and pulled him into another bear hug.

Currently:

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru left the Shichinintai's (AN: a.k.a. Bankotsu's) after Sesshomaru came down the stairs, sporting his usual stoic face.

"How did it go? When is she coming back? Will she let me see her?" Inuyasha asked eagerly.

"She won't be," Sesshomaru's reply rang through the hanyou's ears, she wouldn't be coming back, now what? They promptly walked out of the house, Inuyasha had the look of utter defeat displayed across his usually cocky, I-have-everything-together face, and as he slowly sank into the passenger seat he sighed, fighting to hold back the tears that were trying to break through the invisible barrier of his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away as Sesshomaru entered the car. There was no way he was going to let Sesshomaru see him cry, not even when he may have just lost the love of his life forever.

'Wait a minute, love of my life? Where did that come from. I don't love Kagome…do I? No, I can't love her, she's my worst enemy, but then again…maybe I do…' The car ride home was silent, you could cut the tension with a knife, Inuyasha was lost in his thoughts of Kagome, as was Sesshomaru, both didn't want to speak to the other, neither wanted the other to know what they were thinking, so both sat there in silence, silently hoping that the other couldn't read their expressions and figure out what the other was thinking about. About 15 minutes later they arrived back at their mansion, and both headed upstairs to separate rooms, Inuyasha to his bedroom and Sesshomaru to his office.

(AN: nothing of particular importance happens while they're in their rooms, so moving on…)

4:59 p.m., the Takahashi's:

"Hey Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha called up the stairs to his brother, he was in the kitchen rummaging for food.

"Yes Inuyasha?" he called back, clearly annoyed that his work had been disrupted.

"Wanna go out to dinner tonight? We have nothing here."

"Fine," he sighed loudly, but just loud enough that Inuyasha would be able to hear downstairs, he does have demonic hearing after all. It was then that Inuyasha realized something, he ran upstairs, burst into Sesshomaru's office, and caught the demon in a questioning stare. "May I help you little brother?" This caused Inuyasha to rush over and feel his forehead, normal, scent, same, overall appearance, still normal, "What's wrong with you?" Sesshomaru asked, a little freaked out by his brothers behavior, but he didn't show it.

"No, the question is, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling alright?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, first you agree to go out to dinner with me, in public, where everyone will notice us together, then you called me little brother."

"And?"

"First off, you NEVER want to go out in public with me, and second off, you don't call me little brother, like ever, you hardly acknowledge that we share any relationship other than letting me live here with you."

"Things change."

"But you…" DING DONG!

"Go get the door will you?"

"Feh, fine, bastard." Inuyasha grumbled the last part as he walked down the stairs, of course Sesshomaru heard, but he chose to ignore the statement, something he wouldn't normally do, but he was in a good mood, Kagome was coming back, actually, that should be her at the door. "Hello?" Inuyasha snapped, opening the front door.

"Is that the kind of welcome I get nowadays?" a feminine voice pouted.

"K…K…K…"

"Yup, it's me, did you miss me?"

"No! Now get the hell away from here, bitch!" Inuyasha yelled, slamming the door in the girl's face. He started walking away and was halfway up the stairs when…DING DONG. The doorbell sounded again, Inuyasha slammed open the door, "I thought I fucking told you to go away, Kikyo!"

"Kikyo?"

"K…K…K…"

"Come on Inuyasha, sound it out, KA-GO-ME."

"Kagome…" he breathed, pulling her into a tight hug, "What are you doing here?"

"Well," the young beauty blushed, "I, kinda…I missed you okay?"

"I…I…I…I missed you too," Inuyasha grinned sheepishly.

"While I hate to break up such a lovely reunion, I believe it's time for our dinner plans," Sesshomaru chimed in, "You two can continue your conversation when we get back."

"You! You knew?! Bastard!"

"I don't know what you're talking about Inuyasha."

"Don't play dumb, you knew she was coming home and you didn't tell me!"

"I told him not to," Kagome said quietly, bracing for impact, none, it would take a while to get used to this.

"Why, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked clearly hurt.

"I wanted to surprise you," she looked away guiltily, "I…I'm sorry," she added, tears in her eyes.

Inuyasha saw and immediately felt his heart clench, "Don't cry Kagome, it's alright, see? It's okay. I'm just glad you're back."

"You…you are?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course, now lets go get some food in that stomach of yours, kay?"

"Okay," she smiled as they all hopped into Sesshomaru's car and drove off.

"Hey Sessh, where are we goin?"

"It is a surprise."

"Not another one. Don't you think I've had enough surprises for today?"

"It is not for you, baka, this is for Kagome."

"Then why can't I know?"

"She will hear if I tell you, stupid."

"She can see right now!" Inuyasha yelled, pointing at the girl seated next to him in that back. (AN: Inuyasha wanted to ride in back with her.)

"True," Sesshomaru pondered, pulling out a blindfold from the dashboard compartment, "Put this on her."

"Why do you have a blindfold?"

"It is no concern of yours."

"Keh, whatever," Inuyasha said as he tied the blindfold onto the girl.

"I'm not sure I like this, I can't see."

"That's the point, wench."

"Don't call her a wench."

"And what are you going to do abut it?"

"I will rip your throat out."

"Try me."

"I shall."

"Do it."

"Not now, I am driving, baka, do you want us to get in a car wreck?"

"Maybe I do."

"I highly doubt that."

"And why not?"

"Because your girlfriends in the car."

"Girlfriend?" Kagome finally asked, thoroughly confused. Sure she wanted him to be her boyfriend, even told Mukotsu he was, but were they really going out?

"She's not my damned girlfriend!"

"And why not? Am I not good enough for you?"

"What? No, I never said that!"

"You implied it."

"I did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not, why does it matter anyways? Not like you want to go out with me or anything, right?" he asked, sounding a little hopeful at the end.

"And what if I do?"

"Then why don't you?"

"Because you haven't asked me yet!" they both continued to yell, Sesshomaru out up the little slidey window thing that blocks noise like they have in limos a while ago, so he couldn't hear anything that was going on in the back.

"Maybe I wasn't sure if you liked me!"

"Well I do! Mmph!" she covered her mouth quickly as realization of what she said overcame her.

"You do?" Inuyasha asked slowly, making sure he heard right. She slowly lowered her hands and nodded.

"I do, I do like you Inuyasha."

"I like you too."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I do. Willyougooutwithme?" he asked quickly, he was never like this around girls, but Kagome was different, he wanted to be everything she wanted him to be, he wanted to be perfect for her, she deserved it. The car stopped and the window rolled down.

"What was that?"

"I said will you…" he started, but was cut off by Sesshomaru, and mentally cursed him for interrupting.

"We are here." Sesshomaru informed the two, unaware of the events that just went on. (AN: I could end this chapter here, but I'll be nice and keep writing.) He went around to Kagome's door and pulled the blindfolded girl out of the car, he the proceeded in pulling her by the arm inside the place they had arrived at.

When the tugging on her arm finally stopped and her wrist was let go she asked if she could take off the blindfold, when no reply came she asked again, only to feel someone untying it from the back, she recognized his scent of pine and immediately knew it was Inuyasha, she loved the way he smelled, it reminded her of the woods, she loved it there, it calmed her and made her feel safe, nothing could get to her while she was with nature, or at least that's how it felt. As the blindfold fell she took in the atmosphere of the restaurant they were at and squealed with delight, she used to LOVE this place! It was a place a lot like Chuck-E-Cheese's, all the games and rides, but the food was much better.

"I am glad you like it, Kagome, I remember this used to be your favorite place."

"It still is I'm sure!" she smiled broadly, giving Sesshomaru a big hug, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" she chanted, jumping up and down.

"Jeez, a little excited there are we Kags?" Inuyasha laughed at the girls antics, she was acting like a 5-year-old. She stuck out her tongue at him and when he started towards her playfully she ran away and he chased after her, they disappeared around a far off corner leading to the bumper cars. Sesshomaru just sighed and shook his head then headed off to order the pizza.

With Kagome and Inuyasha:

Inuyasha had finally caught the girl and currently had her slung over his shoulder with her pounding on his back telling him to put her down. Inuyasha had tickled her almost to death when he caught her but when he spotted the bumper cars he immediately picked her up and carried her in that direction.

"Don't count on it Princess."

"Princess?"

"Keh, yeah, cause princesses can't run very fast," he smirked, knowing that she was glaring at his back at the moment. She soon got over it though when she realized they were still walking.

"Where are you taking me anyways?" she asked curiously.

"Why don't you find out for yourself?" he replied, setting her down in line.

"Bumper cars?"

"Yeah, got a problem with it?"

"No, I love these things."

"Good, cause we're next," he said as they took their seats in the little cars, Kagome in a deep blue one, and Inuyasha in a, yup you guessed it, red one.

"You're going down." Kagome smirked from her car.

"No you are!" the 'ride' started and the two immediately crashed into each other, Kagome had more momentum and sent Inuyasha's car flying backwards. As he tried to regain control the giggling girl smashed into him again, this time sending his car spinning, when he finally situated himself she slammed into the back of his car, this time he went forward, but was able to regain control quickly. Inuyasha put his car in reverse and floored it, hitting the unsuspecting girl; she didn't see it coming through the tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. Her face went serious, which scared Inuyasha to no ends, after a second or two the corners of her mouth pulled up into a mischievous looking smirk, time to get serious. She slammed into the little red car, then again, and again, and again, by the time the ride was over, Inuyasha was sure he had whiplash.

"Told ya."

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, still recovering from his whiplash.

"Told ya you were going down."

"You never told me you were an expert at bumper cars."

"You never asked," she smirked again.

"Oh no, what is it this time? Last time you smirked like that I got my ass handed to me in bumper cars."

"Oh, nothing. Hey, do you think you could carry me?"

"Why?"

"Just wondering if you were strong enough."

"What?! Of course I'm strong enough! I've done it before haven't I?" he glared in her direction, but seeing the sweet smile on her face made it quickly melt away into a small grin.

"I meant on your back."

"Sure I can."

"Prove it."

"Hop on," he told her, bending his knees slightly so she could have easier access to his shoulders and waist. She slowly put her small hands on his shoulders, jumped up and wrapped her legs around his toned chest…along with her right arm hooking around his neck, giving him a choke hold. The hanyou leaned forward so far her long legs lost their grip and she almost fell on her butt, if Inuyasha hadn't caught her. He then proceeded in flipping her upside down and pretending to drop her on her head. She just laughed; she knew he would never harm her. After twirling her around he flipped her again and carried her bridal style to the table he had spotted Sesshomaru at a while earlier. "So Kagome,"

"Yes Inu?"

"Where did you learn that move?"

"Sango taught it to me," she blushed, "It obviously doesn't work so well."

"And why did you try it on me?"

"Had to test it out," she smiled, and so did he.

"Too bad for you I'm a better fighter."

"Are not!"

"Am too!"

"Are not!"

"Am too!" etc etc etc. When they finally got to the table Sesshomaru was gone and they were both glaring daggers at each other. "Bitch."

"Bastard."

"What are you two doing?" Sesshomaru asked, seeming to come out of nowhere.

"That bastard over there seems to think he's a better fighter than me!"

"That's cause it's true! I just showed her back there and that one day at school!"

"Yeah but I kicked your ass in the beginning."

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Will you two just SHUT UP?"

"Yes, Sesshomaru," they sighed in unison.

"Now, the pizza will arrive soon, I expect you two to act like you like each other until I get back, I must use the restroom, no fighting," he scolded, feeling like more like their father than their brother.

"Yes, Sesshomaru," they sighed in unison again, but as soon as he was out of earshot…

"Bitch!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"How?"

"You know he won't get mad at you. But he sure as hell will at me!"

"So?"

"So I'll be taking all the heat and you won't get any, bitch."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"You're what?"

"I. Am. Sorry."

"For getting you in trouble."

"Never seemed to bother you before."

"Well it does now."

"Why?"

"It just does okay?"

"Hey, you never answered my question."

"What question?"

"The one I asked you in the limo."

"You never finished it."

"I said, will you…?"

"PIZZA!" an overly cheery waitress yelled at the two teens. She had short, brunette hair that was tied halfway up to the side, she had soft brown eyes and a huge grin on her face, her nametag read 'Rin'.

"Thank you," Kagome smiled at the girl, who seemed to be only a couple years older than herself.

"It's no problem! If you need anything else, you know who to ask!" she smiled politely as she walked back to the kitchens.

"What a sweet girl, she'd be perfect for Sesshomaru," Kagome said to herself.

"Oh no, you are NOT setting Sesshomaru up with anyone."

"Why not?" Kagome pouted.

"Because Sesshomaru will…"

"Sesshomaru will what?"

"Freak," Inuyasha finished like he had not been interrupted at all.

"About what?"

"Will you go out on a date with this really cute girl I know? She's just about your age."

"I'm not sure…"

"Please??" Kagome asked, putting on her cutest puppy-dog face.

"Fine," Sesshomaru sighed, "When is this date?"

"I don't know yet, I'll go ask," Kagome said cheerfully, skipping off in the direction of the kitchen.
