Recap:"Well, I can't very well have you freeze, can I?" I smiled down to her.

"I suppose not." She smiled back to me.

That was the beginning of my very own happily ever after. From that moment forward, I knew that I was in love with this ravishing woman. I would do everything in my ability to make her eternally mine..

Chapter 2. Past Lives

I was in my officestaring down at my wedding ring. I have to admit, it was a funny feeling, to be married. To be bound to someone. I always grew up thinking that marriage was never going to be my thing. Hell, I never thought I'd fall in love. Of course I'm glad this happened for me. I didn't want to go through life alone, and miserable, either. It was truly a shock to everyone else as well, being mostly my family and co- workers. I have to admit that I don't have many friends, and the ones I have are like family to me. It saddens me that my parents didn't make it to see me marry. My father died a few years ago, and my mother died giving birth to me, so I never even knew her. I have two siblings, they're only half, but, really that never mattered to me. My sister, Rin, is only fifteen, and my brother, Inuyasha, only a few years under me. Their mother is human, but still it didn't matter, all demons have concealment seals on them to hide any markings or abnormalities. This only hides, not strips us of our power though, so we must still be careful.

Inuyasha is in a band of his own, Anti- Love(hinthinthaha), with his friends, and Rin is in a teen band, Yoru No Tsuki (I know it's a bit lame, but really, I can't find myself able to tell her.). I suppose my father's side of the family seems to have a hereditary skill for music, weather it be for singing or just playing an instrument. Inuyasha plays the guitar, occasionally the piano, and sings in his band, and Rin sings in her band. I produced both of their bands under my company. I have talent, I just do not wish to apply it in a career. I usually write lyrics and music. And rarely, Inuyasha will use them to complete an album. I haven't an issue with it, he might as well, and get it over with. I'll get credit for it in the fine print on the CD, anyway, not that anyone reads all that. My closest friend, Kouga Niimura, and I run the company, although he's just a producer, he usually takes over for me, as Shacho when I take trips, or vacations, whatever. I find him perfectly able.

We've actually been friends since we began school for the very first time. He always seemed to be in all of my classes. Poor kid though, he was always picked on because one, he was nerdy beyond nerdy, and two, the guys hated him because the girls loved him. He was still a good looking guy. I was the same way, only I was never picked on. I was always bigger then everyone else, as in I was always much taller, and I was always better built. All throughout high school I was six foot three inches, and I am now six foot five inches. Kouga, was always well built, but always lagging behind in height. Seeing as such, he was always in fights, and he never lost any of them, but still, the fools kept coming at him. But after we graduated, and were in college, he went through a growth spurt and shot up to my height, seemingly over night. In high school, I never bailed him out of a fight and I never fought for him. I knew he could do it himself. Really, all he had to do was assert a little demonic energy, and that was the end, but he never did, and fought just as a human. And that's what always made me admire him. I wouldn't bother doing that, even though I should, and that's what I found so admirable.

Inuyasha was always about three years behind Kouga, and I, seeing as he was younger. I always looked out for him in a way, I didn't allow him to get into fights, and I always made sure he got good grades. Without our father around much Inuyasha was always stepping out of bounds, and he needed to be put back in place once and a while, and I always took upon myself to do that. I always took care of him the best I could, and I have to say now, that I did good, and I gave myself a pat on the back for it. His mother was someone that no one needed around, or wanted around for that matter. My father had a one night stand with her about three years after my mother died. My father never recovered from her death and often did foolish things for years, until he drank himself to death. Inuyasha's mother was a crack- whore, literally, and didn't really want Inuyasha, so she willingly gave him up to us without a fight. Inuyasha knows all about this and doesn't care. He wont even meet her, and she probably wont meet him either. Inuyasha was picked on once a while, as far as I knew, and he never minded it, until they said something about our father, or me. Then he would talk back. Inuyasha is a bit scrawny compared to me or Kouga, but was still always very strong. He wasn't very tall until his senior year where he grew to his full height, at six foot three inches. And he was always a ladies man, much like Kouga. They both always had a girl on their arm, and all of them never lasted long. Inuyasha's band now, is insanely famous, and most of it is Inuyasha. He usually writes all of the lyrics, and music, and he's very good at it. The band if only of four members, Miroku, Bankotsu, Shippou, and himself. High school group I guess. The one song that made them famous: "Kings And Queens", and their following song: "Wasted" only got him farther.

Rin, is my adopted sister. My father said he found her, on a street next to a dead dog, crying, cold, and scared. And he couldn't just leave her there, so he brought her, home, and legally adopted her. We were officially siblings when she was five. And now, she's fifteen, in a famous band, and excelling in school. When our father died, I took her, and I'm continuing to raise her. Inuyasha takes her on weekends, and summer vacation to stay with him, and she resides with me for her schooling. I know, that sounds like a parent joint- custody thing, and it sort of is, without custody papers, and between her big brothers. She's an extremely good singer, and sings in the band Yoru No Tsuki. Her and Inuyasha do a lot of duet work, and they always sound very good, and I'm proud of them both. Her band is really for teenagers, and younger people. Eventually it'll mature as she does. She's not going to be the Japanese Miley Cryus, I'll be sure of that. She's already too popular with the boys enough as it is, she doesn't need more attention. She usually writes the songs, and leaves the music to the instrument players. She's very smart, and excels in school, and everyone seems to like her. She's easy to get along with, she's just an all about naturally nice girl. And for her age, she's unnaturally tall. Almost like she carried my father's genes for real, being his biological daughter. She's only fifteen and five foot seven. One song that made her and her band famous was "Laugh Away". And the song that really put her on the charts was a song that she did with Inuyasha: "Ichirin No Hana." And that was all thanks to Inuyasha's influence.

I only have a few close people to me in this world. My mother didn't have any family other then my father, and my father's extended family are all old, annoying elders that think that all our life choices were foolish, so I don't want anything to do with them, nor does Inuyasha, and Rin's oblivious.

But now, of course I have my lovely wife, Kagome, an addition to the three people I actually care about. Kagome and I were married about a month ago, and we were dating for about three years before I could possibly think of marrying her. But of course, I knew when It was the perfect time to propose. About a year ago, I decided to produce her, and she quickly became famous. Her voice was definitely perfect for just about any type she wished. She's a very good song writer, but leaves the music up to the band she was placed with. The very first song she wrote was "Before The Dawn". It was truly a beautiful song, but what really got her noticed was "October", which was another song just as beautiful, but it was a little sad too. I think her song "Fields Of Innocence" was a bit better, but that's just me, I suppose.

Kagome grew up in the heart of Tokyo, on the Higurashi shrine that was run by her grandfather priest, who actually has extremely weak spiritual power. But Kagome is actually a very powerful Miko. But she never cared for it very much and didn't work on the shrine with her grandfather. She had grown up loving music, listening to it, and looking to it for comfort. She was only about five years old when her father was killed in a fatal car accident. She started to listen to his favorite music, and started to really love it. And she says she has her father to thank for her love of music, and where she is today. She always wanted to make her father proud of her even in death. And I know now for a fact that he must be extremely proud of her. Of course her grandfather threw a conniption fit when he learned of her relationship with a demon. But Kagome said that it never mattered to her, which makes me feel very good about it, because I always found that to be my downfall in relationships. Her mother didn't mind either. In fact I think her mother is more kind then Kagome herself is. Kagome takes after her mother in many aspects, like mother like daughter. She has a little brother, Souta, who is five years younger then Kagome, who is only twenty- four. He is a senior in Rin's high school. Which makes me think. I believe Rin said something about a Souta once. I'un remember. Kagome graduated high school with average grades, and never went to college, she always got by with her job at Star Schmucks, and then she met me. About three months after we began dating she moved in with me, and we decided that she should concentrate on music more, and she ended up keeping her job, even though I bought her anything she wanted. Prideful, independent woman, something I really like about her. She had always wanted to travel to Germany for god knows what reasons, but on behalf of that wish we honey- mooned in Germany.

And here we are now, happily married for a month now, and both of our lives couldn't be better. And to all of our hopes it will stay that way for a very long time.

; Gimme a break~ I pulled an all nighter again. But I found the need to place everyone and their significance, so here it isss~ Hope you like it.
