Chapter6: Will You?
It had now been 3 months since the incident at the court house and Sango. Media had been swarming the mansion for days after that hoping to get answers as to what happened, but Sesshomaru had Miroku get rid of them and had security watching the mansion 24/7. He wanted nothing to bother Kagome so that she might be able to heal in peace. As for that reporter who got the whole rape and stand down scene on tape, he was ordered to hand over the tape and was immediately fired from his job. Sesshomaru had seen to the destruction of the vile video. After all that had happened Kagome had also decided to put her schooling off until she felt she could go back.
Today was a special day for Sesshomaru, he was going to be buying Kagome's engagement ring. She had no idea what he was planning but she knew he was up to something.
Sesshomaru had awoken early that Saturday morning in order to prepare some things ahead of time. He made sure that Kagome was not disturbed as today and tonight was going to be all about her. Sesshomaru walked into his study and picked up his phone and dialed Kagome's mom's house. He waited a few seconds before someone picked up, "Higarashi shrine, Souta speaking." Souta said into the receiver. "Souta it's Sesshomaru, is your mother home?" Sesshomaru asked. "Oh hi Sesshomaru, yea my mom's home let me go get her." He said as he put down the phone. A few seconds later Ms. Higarashi picked up the phone. "Hello Sesshomaru how are you dear?" She smiled. "I am doing very well Ms. Higarashi; I have called to ask you to dinner tonight Your son and your father are also invited." He asked. "Oh that sounds lovely. What should we wear dear?" She asked. "Don't worry about that, I will be having my tailor come to your house to take measurements and then give you the clothes." He said. "Oh, this must be some event. What's the occasion?" She asked. "I am proposing to Kagome tonight and I would like for her family to be there." He smiled into the phone. "Oh my goodness, this is going to be so romantic. I can't believe my little girl is all grown up." She said. "That she is. Dinner is when I will do it; we are going out on my private yacht. I will have a limo pick you up at around 5 and bring you to the docks. You will be arriving ahead of us because I want you guys to also be a surprise." He said. "I understand. We will be ready. See you then Sesshomaru." She said. "Alright." He said and hung up the phone.
Sesshomaru then made a few phone calls to make sure the yacht would be ready and fully stocked before the evening and that there was a full staff working and to also place the menu for the night. Once everything was in place he went downstairs and was greeted by the staff. "Good morning mil'lord, would you like some breakfast?" Suki asked. "Not this morning Suki, I will be going out for a while. In one hour I want you to send Kagome her breakfast in bed with these on the tray." He said handing her a single rose and an envelope. "Yes mil'lord, when should we be expecting your return?" She asked. "I should be home in about 2-3 hours. When I get home we will have a light lunch and then Kagome and I will be having dinner on the yacht. Do not tell her of my plans, this is a surprise for her." He said. Suki bowed, "Yes my lord. Have a good outing." She said before leaving.
Sesshomaru grabbed his keys and got into his car and began his drive into town. He had to find the perfect ring for her; he remembered her telling him that her favorite stone was a sapphire. Once in town he parked in a parking deck and decided to walk to the jewelry store that he had bought her earrings.
Once inside the store manager looked up and smiled, "Sesshomaru my old friend, how are you?" The thin snake demon asked. "I am fine Bruno, how have you been fairing?" He asked. "Oh you know business is business. It's slow. So what can I do ya for?" He asked. "I am here to get an engagement ring for Kagome." He said. "Damn Sesshomaru, you are one lucky dog. So what are you looking for?" he smiled. "She said she likes sapphires." He said. "Does she want true sapphires or lab created?" He asked. Sesshomaru smirked, "Now Bruno you know I only want the best for her, price is no object with me. I will be getting her a true sapphire." He said. "Alright, you're in luck. I just got a shipment of some a few days ago. It might be best if you build the ring yourself. There is nothing in my store you would like." He said. Sesshomaru nodded, he like Bruno because he was honest and would tell it like it is, he knew he would never steer him in the wrong direction just for a quick buck.
Bruno went into the back and brought 5 nice sized stones and all were different shapes. But there was one that stood out to Sesshomaru, "Can I see the heart shaped one?" He asked. "Of course." He said handing him the beautifully pigmented stone. Sesshomaru inspected the stone and he loved it. "How many carats is this?" He asked. "Um let's see the heart is 3 carats alone, will you be putting diamonds with it?" Bruno asked. Sesshomaru nodded. "Alright then let's pick out the style of the ring. Ah here is a good one, it is a white gold band and it will hold the heart in the middle and you place two nice size marquise cute diamonds on either side. I can also make the wedding ring to match this." He said. "Very good, I'd like that. Now I'd like each of those marquise diamonds to be at least 2 carats each." Sesshomaru said. "Alright, and what kind of diamond would you like?" He asked. "I'd like a flawless diamond." He said. "You have wonderful taste Sesshomaru. Kagome is going to love it. I just hope I get to meet her one day." He smiled at Sesshomaru. "You will, in time. Can you set the ring now or will I have to wait?" He asked. "I can set them now for you my friend. Would you like an engraving on the ring?" Bruno asked. Sesshomaru thought for a moment and nodded. "Make is say, 500 years in the making." He smiled. Bruno looked at him oddly. "She will understand its meaning." He said. Bruno smiled and set to set the ring and engrave it.
About an hour later the ring was done and all polished up. Sesshomaru inspected the ring and it met his expectations. "Very nice, now how much do I owe you?" He asked. Bruno went to his register and started typing in numbers, "I am giving you a discount on this seeing as you shop here all the time. Your total comes to $30,000. I took off 8,000." He said. Sesshomaru nodded and handed him his credit card. Once the transaction was done he thanked Bruno and hurried to get home.
It had been an hour and Suki had the breakfast tray ready. She had placed the rose in a small glass and the letter next to her plate. She then climbed the stairs to Sesshomaru's room and opened the door to see Kagome was still asleep. She smiled, 'The misses looked so peaceful when she was asleep.' Suki thought. Suki set the try down on the night stand and then proceeded to wake Kagome.
"My Lady, breakfast is ready. Lord Sesshomaru has something to give you." She said. Kagome opened her eyes and sat up. "He has something for me? What is it?" She said stretching. "It is on your breakfast tray my lady. Please enjoy, if there is anything you need please let me know." She said bowing and leaving the room. Kagome was still not used to the honorifics but she knew she had to get used to them since she knew one day she would be Sesshomaru's mate/ wife.
Kagome then sat up and took the tray from her nightstand and placed it in front of her. She noticed the rose and smiled at it, she then noticed the envelope. She reached out and grabbed it then opened it to see Sesshomaru's hand writing.
"My dearest Kagome, I hope you enjoyed breakfast in bed. I had this specially prepared for you. Today you are to do nothing and I am going to pamper you. Once you are done eating I would like for you to put on a swim suit and put clothes on over it. We will be going to the beach, make sure you pack some towels and a change of clothing. I have taken the liberty of having Suki buy you a variety of swim suits in your size, so please pick one you like. I have also gone out for a bit and will be back soon. I love you and will see you soon.
Love Sesshomaru. P.s. I picked that rose for you this morning out in the rose garden. Hope you like it."
Kagome couldn't stop blushing; it was bad enough every time she looked at Sesshomaru that her belly would get butterflies. This had to be the nicest thing anyone had done for her. Kagome quickly finished her breakfast then went to her dresser and opened it to see all different kinds of bikinis. As she looked at each one to see which one she wanted one caught her eye. She reached in and grabbed the top and bottom and examined it. She noticed it had the same pattern as Sesshomaru's old kimono in feudal Japan. 'Sesshomaru is going to love this.' She thought as she put it on and then found a nice white sun dress to wear over it.
About an hour later Sesshomaru came home and saw Kagome waiting for him in the dining room. He walked over to Kagome and kissed her lovingly. "Did you sleep well?" He asked. "I did, and thank you for breakfast, the rose, and the card. It was really sweet." She said. "You are welcome my love. Now let me go change into my swim trunks and then we shall have a light lunch and then go about our day that I have planned for you." He said as he climbed the stairs. 'Hmmm I wonder what he's up to. All this special treatment is nice but it's weird for him.' She thought.
A few minutes later Sesshomaru emerged into the dining room donning a pair of red and white swim trunks that looked like his old kimono as well. 'Wow, we are going to match today.' She chuckled to herself. Sesshomaru looked at her, "Is something funny?" He asked lifting an eye brow. "No, just something I thought of. Now what's for lunch?" She asked. "Suki, Ryu please bring out lunch and explain to Kagome what it is." Sesshomaru said.
Out walked Suki and Ryu with a bowl of something steaming. "My lady here we have a light crab soup made with the finest crab money can buy. And the main course will be out shortly." Suki said placing the bowl in front of her. "Wow, this looks and smells delicious." She smiled while grabbing her napkin and folding it into her lap and then lifting her spoon and tasted the soup. "This soup is excellent, my compliments to the chef." Kagome smiled. Suki and Ryu bowed and left the room. "I am glad you like it koi, I knew you said you liked crab." He said eating his own soup. "It's good, just wait til you eat my home cooking." She smiled at him. "You can cook? I was not aware you could. I would love to try your food sometime." He said. Kagome smiled and finished her soup and as soon as they were finished Ryu and Suki returned with a plate that looked beautiful.
"Here we have a pan roasted sea bass lightly seasoned with a garlic butter sauce over asparagus and cherry tomatoes, with a side of jasmine rice. Please enjoy." Ryu said bowing and leaving the room. "Wow Sesshomaru this looks good. Your chef is amazing." Kagome said as she took a bite of the sea bass. When she tasted the fish she had died and gone to heaven because that fish was that damn good. "I am glad you like it." He said.
About 45 minutes later they were done and about to head out the door. "Suki we will be back in three days. Keep things running smoothly and no business calls unless it's an absolute necessary alright?" He asked. "Yes master, have fun." She smiled. He nodded and met Kagome at the limo. "What did you tell Suki?" She asked. "Just to keep things running smoothly." He said. "Oh alright, where are we going?" She asked. He smiled at her, "That is a surprise." He said as Izaki began to drive. "Well that's no fun." She said doing her pouty lip that he loved so much. He leaned down and captured her lips in a tender kiss that made her arousal spike. He smiled and parted, "I love your pouty lip, you look so sexy." He said. Kagome blushed and decided to turn her attention out the window.
It took about half an hour to get to the boat docks. "What are we doing out here?" She asked. "Follow me and you'll find out." He said taking her hand. They walked past a couple of small looking boats until they came upon a huge luxury yacht. "Go on Kagome, climb aboard." He said gesturing to the huge yacht. "You mean we're going on this?" She asked amazed. "Yes my love now climb aboard, we have a schedule to keep to." He smiled. "Oh sorry." She smiled and climbed up with the help of who she gathered was the captain. "Thank you." She said. "You're welcome my lady. Good afternoon my lord, are we ready to go?" He asked. "Yes Etsuko cast off." He said. Etsuko bowed and went into cabin and started the engine.
Soon they were miles away from the coast and about an hour after they arrived to where they were going. Kagome noticed Etsuko drop anchor and they were in the middle of the ocean. "Uh Sesshomaru what are we doing, fishing?" She asked. "No my dear, we are going scuba diving." He smiled as her face lit up. "Really?" She asked excitedly. "Yes now go get suited up." He smiled. "What do I need to do?" She asked. "Just take off your sun dress. The equipment can go on with your swim suit." Sesshomaru said while he took his shirt off. Kagome stared at him and licked her lips hungrily. It didn't matter how many times this man took his shirt off he was still soo sexy with his wash board abs. Kagome shook her thoughts away and took her dress off. Sesshomaru did a double take when he saw which swim suit she had picked.
When Kagome had taken off her sun dress Sesshomaru saw her flat stomach and sexy silky legs. It took everything in him not to pounce on her and take her right there, but he repressed those thoughts and placed the air tanks on his back and checked his gages. Kagome then walked over and sat next to him at the end of the boat and Etsuko helped put her air tanks on and checked her gages. "Now Kagome, we have about an hour of air in here so keep checking your gage to make sure you are ok on air." He said. "Alright. Sesshomaru, what do you think of the new swim suit?" She asked. "You look absolutely divine my love. Right now it's taking me everything I have not to take you right here." He admitted. Kagome laughed, "Look at the pattern, notice anything?" She asked. He took a closer look and noticed it was his royal kimono pattern. He smirked, he hadn't noticed that because he'd been too busy staring at her sexy body. "It's the Western lands colors. Very nice Kagome, now let's get moving missy we have other things to do on our list." He smiled at her. She nodded and the two jumped into the water.
Scuba diving had been one of Kagome's dreams and Sesshomaru was glad he could grant her that. As the two explored the sea floor, Kagome got to see lots of beautifully colored fish and lots of coral. It also just so happened that a pod of dolphins came by and were curious of the two and played with them, one even let Kagome grab his dorsal fin and swam with her. All to soon their hour was up and they resurfaced, "Did you have fun?" Sesshomaru asked. "Are you freakin kidding me, I had a blast. You know people would pay an arm and a leg just to swim with a captive dolphin and I got to swim with a pod of them in the wild for free. This has been the best day ever, I don't know if it can get any better." She laughed. 'Oh it will my love, it will.' Sesshomaru smirked. "Come let's get dried off and changed. I had Suki pack something nice for you since the occasion calls for it." He said. "Alright mister just what do you have planned?" She asked looking at him with suspicion. "You shall see my dear." He smiled.
So the two climbed back on to the yacht and dried off. Kagome had opted to go take a shower downstairs and then change and put her make up on. Once out of the shower Kagome saw this beautiful floor length black dress laid out on the bed with a paid or expensive black high heels. Kagome looked at the maker of the dress and gasped, the dress was made by Vera Wang herself. Next to the dress Kagome saw a note and picked it up. "Dear Kagome, I had this dress made just for you. Vera had a favor she owed me and this is what she did for me. I hope you like it my love. Love Sesshomaru."
Kagome put the note down and smiled, "That man never ceases to amaze me." She said as she took the dress and put it on. It was a strapless dress with a slit on her left side that went all the way up to her hip. She then put her make-up and her hair. She had decided that she would pull her hair up into a tight bun leaving only one strand of curled hair on each side of her face to frame it. Kagome had also wondered if Sesshomaru had packed something that could go in her hair, because knowing him he would have. She went back to the bag and sure enough there was a box with a note on the top that said open me. Kagome opened it to see two combs that were Sapphire encrusted. She gasped seeing at how beautiful they were. She then placed them in her hair and looked at herself. The dress and combs matched her beautiful eyes perfectly, and once she deemed herself presentable she decided to make an appearance on the upper deck.
Sesshomaru had been talking to Etsuko about some business since Sesshomaru had long ago changed into a nice pair of black slacks and a white button down shirt with his Armani black shoes. Sesshomaru stopped talking when Kagome climbed the last step. His eyes were glued to her, his eyes drifted down her body seeing how the dress hugged her figure and how that slit made her look all that more sexy. Etsuko smiled, "I'll leave you two to talk. We should be ashore in 20 minutes." He said. Sesshomaru nodded and walked up to Kagome and took her hand. He then gently placed a kiss on the back of it, "You look…wow…you looks so good words can't describe it." He said. Kagome blushed.
He smiled and lead her over to the cushioned bench seats at the back of the yacht. Kagome sat down and Sesshomaru handed her a glass of Champaign. "I'd like to make a toast to us, may we be filled with a happy life together." He said. "To us." Kagome smiled and tapped his glass before sipping her own. The rest of the trip back to land was spent with Sesshomaru whispering sweet nothings in Kagome's ear making her blush.
At the Higarashi shrine the tailor had just finished fitting everyone. Kagome's mother wore a beautiful Chanel black dress with low heels, and both Souta and Mr. Higarashi adorned Armani suits. "Wow you boys clean up really well." Ms. Higarashi smiled. "You look beautiful mom." Souta smiled. "Thank you dear, but I think we should get going. The driver is here and Kagome and Sesshomaru should be there in under half an hour." She said to the two, they nodded. As they left Ms. Higarashi said a quick thank you to the tailor and then she quickly got into the waiting limo.
It took only 15 minutes to get to the yacht that would be taking them out for a romantic dinner, where Sesshomaru would propose to Kagome. "Alright, Ms. Higarashi once on the yacht the staff will show you to your seats. The master has instructed us to make sure you stay there until they get there." The driver said as they stepped out of limo. "Alright." She smiled and all three boarded the yacht.
"Ms. Higarashi, Mr. Higarashi and Souta, please this way." A waiter smiled and they followed him into the cabin to see it set beautifully. There was crystal wine glasses, fine china and real silver utensils. "Wow, Sesshomaru goes all out doesn't he?" Souta said. "Yes Souta he does, but he does it for Kagome." Ms. Higarashi smiled. "And you know Kagome deserves to finally be happy." Grandpa said. They all agreed. "Would you care for some wine Mr. or Ms. Higarashi?" One of the waiters asked. "Why yes thank you." Ms. Higarashi said. "None for me thanks, just water." Grandpa said. "Souta would you like some sparkling white grape juice?" A cute waitress said. Souta blushed and nodded. "Thank you." He said. "My pleasure, now if you'll excuse me the master and the lady have arrived." She smiled leaving with the rest of the staff.
When Sesshomaru and Kagome had got off the first yacht Sesshomaru led her over to a bigger one. "We're going on another boat ride?" She asked. "Yes my dear, but this is for dinner. You will really enjoy later." He whispered into her ear. That sent shivers down her spine.
Kagome and Sesshomaru walked on to the yacht and was greeted by the entire staff. "Good evening my lord, my lady." They said. "Is everything set?" Sesshomaru asked. "Yes my lord, just as you had requested." One waiter said. "Very good, tell the captain to cast off." He said. "Yes my lord." And the waiter left. Then another one approached them, "Please follow me." The waiter smiled.
So Kagome and Sesshomaru followed the waiter into the cabin and when Kagome saw her family she gasped, "Mom, Grandpa, Souta, what are you guys doing here?" She asked. "Sesshomaru invited us to dinner as a surprise for you." Ms. Higarashi said. Kagome turned to Sesshomaru and hugged him, "Thank you, this night just keeps getting better and better." She said. Sesshomaru quickly kissed her, "Anything for you my dear." He said.
They both sat down and had menus handed to them. "Kagome you look beautiful tonight." Her grandfather said. "Thanks grandpa, Sesshomaru had the dress made for me, it's by Vera Wang." She said. "Oh how lovely." Her mother said. Kagome looked at the menu and decided to have the pan roasted halibut with the crab cakes with a side of steamed vegetables. Sesshomaru had gotten the grilled salmon with rice pilaf and a salad. Kagome's family all got the same thing Sesshomaru got.
Once all the food was brought out they had light conversation. As the night wore on dessert was served and then Kagome and Sesshomaru retreated to the rear of the yacht. "It's so beautiful out here." Kagome said admiring the stars. "Yes but not as beautiful as you Kagome." He said taking her hands. Sesshomaru was nervous and Kagome could sense it. "Are you alright Sesshomaru, why are you nervous?" She asked. 'Damnit I didn't conceal my nervousness very well. Oh well now or never.' He thought.
Sesshomaru grabbed the box from his pocket and got down on one knee, when Kagome saw this she gasped and knew what was coming. She then had tears come to her eyes, thinking this day would never come. Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome's hand and opened the box, "Kagome Marie Higarashi, would you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Kagome Marie Tashio?" He asked nervous as hell. "Yes." Kagome choked out through her tears. Sesshomaru then put the ring on and pulled her into a tight loving hug with a kiss so passionate Souta made a gaging noise. Ms. Higarashi smacked him upside the head for being rude and continued to watch the new happy couple.
Once Kagome and Sesshomaru parted she dried her tears and looked to her family. "You knew about this?" She asked. They all nodded with huge smiles on their faces. "I should have known you guys would be in on it." Kagome laughed. After the proposal they stayed out to sea for another hour before heading back. When they arrived back at the docks Sesshomaru had two limos waiting, one for Kagome's family to go home and one to take them to the hottest club around. Of course during the ride back to the docks Kagome changed into a short black dress with heels and placed her Vera Wang dress back in its dress bag.
Kagome sat in the car admiring her new ring, "Sesshomaru how many carats is this ring?" She asked curiously. "7 why?" He asked. Kagome nearly choked, "7 carats? How much did you pay for this and what kind of stones did you use?" Kagome asked. "It doesn't matter how much I paid for it and I only get the best things especially for you." He smiled. Kagome didn't know what to say, so she just kept admiring the ring.
Once to the club they walked up to the front of the long line that wrapped around the building. "Hey you can't cut!" Someone yelled, "Yea!" Another yelled. Sesshomaru turned and everyone gasped, "Those of you who just yelled please step forward." Sesshomaru said narrowing his gaze. Two jocks then stepped out of line with their dates and up to Sesshomaru. The smiled thinking they were being invited in with the most popular man in Japan. "Sup Sesshomaru, thanks for inviting us to join you. These losers don't deserve anything less than to wait out here while we party." The first jock said. Sesshomaru sneered, "I was not inviting you and your twit friend in with me and my fiancée. For making us wait to get in I hereby banish you from this club. Did you get that Yaki?" He asked the bouncer. "yes sir Mr. Tashio." He said glaring at the two jocks. "Hey you can't do that, this isn't your place!" The second jock yelled. "On the contrary I am the owner of this establishment and so I can do what I wish and ban who I want. Now get out of my sight. If my staff sees your faces here ever again you will be sent to jail for trespassing. Got it?" He growled. "Y…Yes Mr. Tashio sorry to have kept you waiting." The second jock said. "Man what the hell are you doing? Why are you backing down from this punk? Just because he's the most popular man in all of Japan doesn't mean he can push us around. You don't know who your messing with Sesshomaru." The first jock said. Sesshomaru lifted a brow, "Oh and who am I messing with?" He asked. "I am the star quarterback for Japans best football team and there I demand the same amount of respect your get." He said crossing his arms.
Sesshomaru smirk but soon frowned when he felt Kagome's anger start to rise for this prick keeping them from enjoying the rest of their great night. Sesshomaru turned to Kagome and leaned down and kissed her, "I will only be a moment koi." He said. Kagome smiled at him as he pulled out his phone. He then dialed a number and waited a few seconds for someone to pick up.
"Hello, Mr. Ushida speaking how can I help you?" The man asked. "Are you the coach for the Tokyo Titans?" Sesshomaru asked. "Yes I am, may I ask who's speaking?" He asked. "This is Sesshomaru Tashio speaking." He said. "Oh, Mr. Tashio how nice of you to call. Can I help you with something?" Ushida asked. "Yes, I need you to terminate your star Quarterback for your team." Sesshomaru said. The jock looked at him and gasped, "You're bluffing, there is no one on the phone." The jock said. "Mr. Tashio I beg your pardon but why would I terminate Izuma's contract? He's our best player." Ushida said. "Your Quarterback here has disrespected me and my fiancée by demanding to be treated with as much respect as I have. Let me remind you Ushida I have worked hard to get where I am today and I will not tolerate some low life thinking he deserves the same level of respect as I have just because he plays football. Don't let me forget that I fund your team and if you expect more funding then I suggest you cut him from the team, and if you do I will give you a better player." Sesshomaru said looking at his friend. "Who do you have in mind Mr. Tashio?" Ushida asked.
"Son what is your name?" Sesshomaru asked the second jock. "Ishamura sir Ishamura Ibiki." He said. Sesshomaru nodded and went back to the phone. "His name is Ishamura Ibiki. I am pretty sure he will make a great addition to your team." Sesshomaru said. " You're bluffing Sesshomaru I know you are. Mr. Ushida is not on that phone." Izuma growled. "Mr. Ushida your star player thinks I am lying, he thinks you're not on the phone." Sesshomaru sighed. "Put him on the phone Mr. Tashio, I'll set him straight." Ushida said.
Sesshomaru handed the phone to Izuma and Izuma put the phone to his ear. "Izuma, your fired. I have already shredded your contract and you will never work in sports again. You should have known no to speak to Mr. Tashio that way. He is the one who gives us the money to get new equipment, jerseys and flies us to our matches around the world. Good day to you." He said and hung up. Izuma couldn't believe his ears. He then handed the phone back to Sesshomaru and turned and walked away with his date head hung in shame. Ibiki on the other hand thanked Sesshomaru, "Um Mr. Tashio, may my date and I wait in line to get in?" Ibiki asked. Sesshomaru nodded as the two walked to the back of the line to wait to get in.
"Finally, can we go in now?" Kagome asked. "Of course." He said as they both walked in to the club. Once inside Kagome saw it was nicely decorated and the dance floor was huge. "I am going to get a drink." Kagome said making her way to the bar. Once there the bartender smiled at her, "Hi, what can I get for you?" He asked. "Could I get a shot of 151." She said. The bartender looked at her with a shocked expression, "Wow ma'am not one woman here has ever taken one of those without choking. If you can shoot that without making a face I'll give you $100 bucks." He smiled pouring the drink. Kagome smiled, "You're on." She said as she took the shot and swallowed it without making so much as a flinch. The bartender laughed, "Well I'll be damned, you are one hell of a demoness. That will be 4.50." He said.
That was when Sesshomaru walked up, "Everything for her is on the house." He said. The bartender looked up, "Oh, hi Mr. Tashio, is this lovely lady your date tonight?" He asked taking the empty shot glass. "She is my fiancée Howard." He smiled, Howard looked at Kagome with a look that said 'Holy shit.' "You are one lucky demon Mr. Tashio, this lovely lady sure knows how to knock'em back." He smiled. "That I am, and yes she could rival anyone here and I am sure win." He smiled at the blonde headed Chameleon demon. "Is that a challenge I hear?" He asked. "That is up to my fiancée Kagome. You care to show these demons how we roll?" He smiled. Kagome laughed because she'd never seen this side of Sesshomaru, but she loved it. "You bet I'll take that bet. What are the stakes Howard?" Kagome asked. Howard tapped his chin with his index finger trying to think of a good wager. "How about we get the person who thinks they can beat you, you two drink the most potent thing I have. Then once you two have been good and liquored up we will have a singing contest. The winner will have bragging rights for an entire year, get a $500 cash prize and have their picture hung on what I like to call the 'Wall of Champions.'" Howard said.
Kagome thought this over and smiled, "You're on." She smiled then turned to the DJ and signaled for him to turn off the music. Everyone looked around and Howard spoke up, "Ok listen up everyone, we have a drinking challenge and are looking for one person who thinks they can beat this demon." Howard said. Then one burly man stepped forward and Kagome could tell he was human, "Are we drinking against the great demon lord Sesshomaru, because if we are I'll take that challenge." The man said. "Not this time Kenny." Howard said. "Then who is the demon?" Kenny asked. "She is." Howard said pointing to Kagome. Everyone looked at Kagome up and down, "You mean to tell me this young lass is going to challenge one of us well seasoned men?" Kenny laughed. Kagome smirked an evil smirk, "I could take on any of you men and win. Don't judge before you see what I can do. Now who is man enough to take the challenge?" Kagome asked. Kenny laughed, "I will young lady, but be warned I won't go easy just because you be a woman." He smiled a toothy grin. Kagome's grin became even wider, "Alright there Kenny, my name is Kagome and I will be your challenger. The challenge is we have to drink as much as we can of whatever Howard gives us, then from there we have to have a battle of the songs. The one who can sing the clearest and most coherent will win bragging rights for a year, a $500 cash prize and your picture on the 'Wall of Champions.'" Kagome said. Kenny nodded, "I accept, alright Howard let's get this rolling." Kenny said.
Howard smiled and put two shot glasses on the bar. He then went under the bar and pulled a nice purple bottle. When he poured the liquid in the glass it was a dark blue color. "Alright, my alcohol of choice is demon sake. Each competitor will each consume 5 shots of this potent liquid and the proceed to the stage. You each will get to pick your own song and sing one at a time. Whoever is the clearest wins." Howard said laying down what was to be done. Both Kenny and Kagome nodded. Kagome looked to Sesshomaru who smirked, "Go get'em Kagome." He said. "You bet your ass I will." She smiled knowing she had an advantage.
When Kagome had still traveled through the well she had visited Sesshomaru a few times to heal Rin when she was sick. Usually when she would stay the night he and she would share a few shots of the demon sake. She got her tolerance up each time she visited him and was now able to take 8-10 shots without passing out.
Howard poured the shots and both of them downed them without even a flinch. Kenny was able to choke back another 2 before he started feeling the effects. Demon sake always got to humans faster than demons and it took a lot to get a demon drunk. Kagome slammed back the rest of hers and made her way to the stage. Kenny had also finished his and stumbled to the stage.
Kagome picked out her song, she decided to go with an American song called "Us Against The World." By Christina Milian. When the music started Kagome began to sing and everyone stopped talking and looked at her. Sesshomaru was surprised as hell, he had no idea Kagome could sing. Her voice was beautiful, like a chorus of a thousand angels. Kagome sang the song with not so much as a hiccup or a slur, once she was done everyone applauded her, even Sesshomaru. Kagome made a bow and let her competitor take his turn.
Kenny had also gone with an American song since he was American. He had chosen to sing "Let The Bodies hit The Floor" By Drowning Pool. The poor man was so hammered by the demon sake he slurred so much. In his mind though he sang the song perfectly. After all was said and done Howard had named Kagome and Kenny the winners because Kagome and Kenny were both really good and he couldn't chose the winner, that and Howard have never seen a human hold down so much demon sake. Kagome had forgone her $500 cash prize and given it to Kenny seeing as he could probably use it more then she could. 'For crying out loud Sesshomaru bought me a 7 carat diamond and sapphire engagement ring. I obviously don't need that money, I would rather he have it and use it for what he needs or wants.' She thought to herself.
"Alright how about we get this party started?" Howard said. "Let's." Kagome said. Howard smiled and signaled to the DJ to start the music again. Once the music was up and everybody was dancing Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru and led him to the dance floor. Kagome began to sway her hips and Sesshomaru placed his hands on her hips and moved with her. Kagome's arousal spiked as she moved her body to the music and Sesshomaru sensed this. All he wanted to do is take her to the bathroom, lock the door and fuck the hell out of her, but he stopped those thoughts because he didn't want to have sex with her until their wedding night so it would be special for her.
They danced for a few hours before they decided to call it a night. Once in the limo Kagome yawned. "Sleep it will take us about 20 minutes to get to the hotel." He said. "We're going to a hotel?" Kagome asked. "Yes, I thought we could use a few days to bask in the engagement happiness. The hotel we are going to is a 5 star luxury hotel. It's owned by one of my good friends. He's already reserved us the pent house suite." He smiled. "Wow, I've never been to a 3 star let alone a 5 star." Kagome mused. Sesshomaru smiled, "Well, here you can do a lot of things. The food is the finest in the country, they have a spa, and it's right in the middle of down town so there is lots of shopping." He said. Kagome smiled, "Wow, I can't wait to get there." She said and laid her head on Sesshomaru's shoulder.
Once to the hotel the front desk gave them their keys and told than that their room was on the top floor, when Kagome and Sesshomaru got in the elevator Sesshomaru pushed the button for the 64th floor. Once the elevator stopped and opened it opened up to a spacious room with nice view of Japan. Kagome stepped out and gaped at how big it was. "Sesshomaru this room is as big as an apartment." She said. "Quite, but this is one of the smaller suites I've been in." Sesshomaru mused. "What, you mean you have been in bigger suites?" She asked. "Yes, now come let us get to bed, we have a big day of shopping tomorrow." He said. "Alright, but Sesshomaru I don't have anything to change into." She said. He smiled, "I have our maid pack our bags and send them over here earlier. You will find your bags in our room." He said.
So they walked into their room where Kagome saw the huge king sized canopy bed. She smiled and ran and jumped onto it only to sink into the bed because it was soft. Sesshomaru laughed at her and helped her up so she could change. Once changed Kagome slipped into the bed with Sesshomaru and they watched tv until they fell asleep.
The next couple of days were a blur for the both of them. Kagome had bought a whole new wardrobe of Chanel and a few other very expensive clothing. Sesshomaru wanted to make sure she dressed the part of being Mrs. Tashio. He had also bought her several pieces of fine jewelry to go with her outfits.
"Sesshomaru, when are we going home?" Kagome asked. "Tonight after dinner. Come we still need to get you a nice dress for dinner and some jewelry to match it." Sesshomaru said. "Why can't I just wear something that we just bought?" She asked. "Because koi those clothes are for company gatherings." He smiled. "Oh, that makes since. Alright then let's do some more shopping." She said pulling his hand back towards the mall.
As Sesshomaru walked with Kagome he saw a really nice jewelry store. "Kagome go ahead and get something you like, make sure it's elegant. We are meeting my good friend who owns the hotel." He said. "Oh ok, where are you going?" She asked. " I am going to go get something for tonight. I will meet you in the store, I'll just text you on your phone to see where you are." He said. "Alright." She said and walked into a Valentino store. Once she walked in a sales associate walked up to her. "Hello welcome the Valentino store, is there anything I can help you with?" She asked. "Um yes, I am looking for a nice gown for a dinner I am going to." Kagome said. "Alright follow me, I will take some measurements and bring out some dresses for you to pick from and try on." She smiled. Kagome smiled and nodded.
After the measurements were taken the sales lady went into the back and brought out 5 different dresses. When Kagome looked at the first 3 dresses she instantly said no, they were the most hideous dresses she'd ever seen, but the other two that were left she liked and it was down to a simple black dress or this beautiful red cut out gown. Kagome took the red one to the dressing room and tried it on. It hugged her curves and the back of the dress flowed while the front was short. She fell in love with this dress and knew this was the one for dinner. When Kagome came out the sales associate smiled, "Did you like this one?" She asked. "Oh yes I did, I will take this one." Kagome said. "Do you need shoes with it?" The lady asked. Kagome nodded and the lady asked her shoe size and then went back and pulled a nice pair of silver high heeled sandals. "Oh these will be perfect." Kagome said excitedly. "Will that be all Miss?" The lady asked. "Yes please." She said. So the sales associate brought her up to the front and rang the items up. "Alright your total comes to $3,670.87. Will that be cash or credit?" The lady asked. Kagome nearly died at how much that dress was. Growing up she never paid over $30 for a pair of jeans let alone $3000 for a dress and shoes, but then again her jeans were designer. So Kagome pulled out her credit card Sesshomaru had given her, "Credit please." She said. The lady smiled and swiped the card and after it was approved she bagged the items neatly. "Thank you for shopping with us, we hope to see you again." She smiled. "Thank you." Kagome said and left.
Back with Sesshomaru he was in the jewelry store and had just purchased a beautiful diamond necklace and earring set. He knew Kagome would love it and it would match anything she wore that night. After he had made his purchase he pulled out his cell phone and text Kagome. She had responded that she was at Valentino's, he was thrilled that she had good taste in clothing and knew whatever she had picked out would be stunning.
Once he had gotten to her she stood and smiled at him. "What did you get?" She asked. "That my dear is a surprise for later. Did you get something nice?" He asked her. "If nice to you is about $3,000 then yes." She said. "You only paid $3,000 for a custom Valentino's dress? I'm impressed, usually that man's stuff is way more pricy then that. I am glad you got something you like." He said. "So it's ok that it was that much?" She asked nervously. "Yes it is fine. Remember Kagome money is no object to me. I have been building and saving money for over 500 years. No matter how much we try we will never be able to spend all of the money I have." He said. "Wow, I didn't know you had that much. I mean I knew you were a millionaire but damn, I think you blew that out of the water." Kagome laughed. Sesshomaru chuckled, he was glad she was having fun.
When Sesshomaru looked down at his watch he saw that it was 4:30 p.m. "Kagome we have to get back to the hotel and change. We will be meeting my friend at 6." He said. "Alright, I would like to get a shower in before we go." She said. He nodded and they walked to the limo and went back to the hotel.
Once back Kagome set her bags down in the bathroom and closed the door and locked it. Sesshomaru found this odd and knocked on the door, "Kagome why did you lock the door?" He asked. "Because I want to surprise you with the dress." She said. "Ah, ok." He said and left her to do her thing. Kagome got undressed and got into the shower and quickly washed her hair and body. She rinsed and then got out, after drying off she wrapped the towel around her and began to do her hair. She first dried it and then began to braid part of her hair and then placed the other part in a tight bun and wrapped the braided hair around it. She pinned it in place with bobby pins then prayed it with an ungodly amount of hair spray so it wouldn't fall. After that was done she unwrapped her towel and placed her sexy red laced underwear on. She then slid the dress on and fixed her boobs the way she liked it. When she looked into the mirror she had ample cleavage and was showing off enough sexy leg that she knew Sesshomaru would drool.
She then set to the task of doing her make-up perfectly. After that she place her heels on and checked herself one last time before opening the door slightly to see Sesshomaru putting the last touches onto his Gucci tux. Kagome quietly walked out of the room and once she was out she cleared her throat a little. Sesshomaru turned and nearly got a nose bleed. He was stunned, she looked absolutely ravishing. She had nice tits and those silky creamy legs were sexy as hell. "You…uh look stunning my dear. At times you make me wish we were already married so I could take you right here and now." He said walking up to her. "Now now, we don't want to ruin my hair and make-up. How about later we play around if you know what I mean." She smiled. Sesshomaru smiled, "Let's, but for the meantime I have something for you." He smiled and turned from her and went to his bag which came from the store he bought his present from. He then pulled out a rather large velvet box. Kagome knew it was going to be necklace of some kind. When Sesshomaru opened it she gasped, there sitting in the box was a huge all diamond necklace and dangly diamond earrings. "Oh my gosh Sesshomaru these have to be the most beautiful things I have ever seen." She said looking at them in awe. "Not as beautiful as you my dear." He said as he lifted the diamond necklace and placed in around her neck. Kagome fingered it and smiled, "Thank you." She said. "You are welcome. Nothing but the best for my bride to be." He said making her blush. Kagome put the earrings on and then they were ready to leave.
"Kagome before we go I will tell you that Miroku and my security team will be tailing us and escorting us to and from the dinner. The media already knows about this dinner and I am sure will be there. Will you be ok?" He asked. "Yes, I will be fine. Miroku does a really good job at keeping us safe." She said. "Yes he does." He said. 'That's because if he didn't he'd lose his life.' He thought. "Now let us go." He said leading her to the door.
Once down stairs the media was already there. Sesshomaru didn't think they would be here but none the less kept walking. "Sir, who is your lady friend?" A reporter asked. "If you want to know answers I will be briefing everyone later this evening. Now if you please we have a dinner to go to." He said pushing past the massive crowd of cameras and microphones.
In the car since they decided to take the Lamborghini Kagome looked at him. "What did you mean you were going to brief them?" She asked. "It's high time that everyone knew who you are. I want everyone to know that you are my everything and that I would do anything for you." He said taking her hand. Kagome blushed, "That's so sweet." She said kissing his cheek. Sesshomaru smiled as he sped off to the restaurant. When the pulled up Kagome read the sign Aragawa and looked at Sesshomaru. "I've heard of this place, it's the most expensive place in Japan. Reservations are really hard to get, how did you get one?" She asked. "Remember Kagome I am the most powerful person in all of Japan with my business." He smiled. "Oh yea." She smiled and got out.
When they walked in it was a very nicely decorated place. They walked up to the podium and the waiter greeted them. "Welcome, do you have a reservation?" He asked. "Tashio." Sesshomaru said. The waiter looked at his list and didn't see his name. "I am sorry sir, there isn't anyone by that name. Perhaps another name?" He asked. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. He hated when things never went right. "I am having dinner with Masashita Mitsumora." Sesshomaru said. "Hmmm I am sure you are." The waiter said sarcastically. Kagome was annoyed and hungry and you never messed with a hungry Kagome. Kagome stepped up and looked at the waiter in the eyes, "Do you know who you are talking to mister?" She growled. "The waiter looked at her and sneered, "Yes a couple of wanna be rich people. Get out of the restaurant before I call the police." The waiter said making the shoeing motion with his hand. Sesshomaru was about to rip the man's head off when Kagome placed a hand on his arm. She then glared that the man, "This is Sesshomaru Tashio, Japan's biggest business tycoon. Remember him now?" She snarled. "No, now I will give you three seconds to leave." He said. "No, I want to see a manager now." Kagome growled trying to keep from making a scene. The man rolled his eyes and sighed and walked away only to return a moment later with a portly man.
When the manager saw Sesshomaru he immediately bowed, "Lord Sesshomaru, how nice to see you again." He said. "Yea well you won't being seeing much of him unless you get rid of this piece of trash you call a waiter." Kagome growled. The manager looked up to see Kagome's light purple eyes glowing slightly with anger. "I am sorry ma'am but who are you?" He asked. "She is my fiancée and demands the same respect I get, but it seems that your waiter here thinks were are wanna be rich people and has threaten to call the police on us." Sesshomaru growled. "I am terribly sorry it will be dealt with." He said turning to the man, Kagome saw him whisper something in his ear and man walked out almost in tears. "You won't have any more problems with him. Now your table awaits you, right this way." He said leading the two to a private area.
Once in the room Kagome spotted a lion demon beginning to stand when he saw them walk in. "Sesshomaru my old friend how have you been?" The demon said. "Very well Kazuko, this is my fiancée Kagome." He said introducing her. Kazuko looked her up and down, "Well nice to meet you young lady, and might I say you look exquisite tonight." He said. Kagome blushed, "Thank you." She said. "Kagome this is my good friend Kazuko, he and I have known each other since we were pups. He is my vice president of my entire company." Sesshomaru said. "Oh how nice to meet you." She said. "It's my pleasure my dear." Kazuko said. Before anyone could start talking a waitress came in, "Good evening my name is Baki and I will be your server. Could I start you off with a nice wine or Champaign?" She asked. "I'd like a glass of white wine please." Kagome said. "And we'll have red wine; make sure it's a sweet wine though." Kazuko said. "Certainly." She said and left.
Kazuko then turned to Kagome, "So Kagome, how did you meet this big lug?" He smiled. "I met him when I traveled to the feudal era from my well on my family's property." Kagome said. Kazuko looked at her funny, "What do you mean?" He asked. "I am the Shikon Miko." She smiled. He then looked at her with wide eyes, "That's impossible, the Shikon Miko lived 500 years ago." He snorted not believing her. "Sesshomaru shall I go into the story?" She asked. He smirked and nodded. Kagome then launched it to the tail of her travels through time and how she meet everyone. Once she was done Kazuko looked like he'd just seen an alien. "So you traveled through time until the final battle with Naraku and once the wish was made you were thrown back here and not to long after you dated the mutt before he broke your heart again and Sesshomaru here picked up the pieces?" he asked making sure he had everything right. "Yep, that about sums it up." She said. At that moment Baki came back with their drinks and placed them in front of them. "Are you ready to place your order?" She asked. "Yes, Both my fiancée and I will have the Kolbe steak, medium rare." Sesshomaru said. Kagome looked at him funny, he then leaned over to her, "Trust me, it's the best thing here. That appetizers are really good too." He said. Kagome made the 'oh' face and went back to talking with Kazuko after he had ordered.
"So Kazuko, do you have a mate?" Kagome asked. Kazuko looked at her with a sad smile, "I used to, my mate was taken captive when the humans thought to over throw Japan, all before we came to live in peace. They ended up making an example out of her and executed her in front of all the demons ready to rally against the humans." He said. "Oh my, I am so sorry. That is just awful." Kagome said. "No worries my dear, my mate was a proud woman and she died with honor and dignity. Not a day goes by that I still tell her I love her." He said smiling. "Do you have any pups?" Kagome asked. "I sure do, I have 43 and they have all given me grandpups and they have given me great grandpups." He smiled. "Wow, how does it feel to be a great, great grandpa?" She asked. "It's great, I get to spoil the hell out of them then send them home." He laughed. "As it should be." Sesshomaru smiled.
Dinner went off without a hitch and soon it was time to go. Kagome and Sesshomaru said their good-byes to Kazuko and promised to come stay at the hotel again. They then got into the car and drove home.
Once home Kagome silently slipped into the bathroom to change into her new lingerie she had bought while she waited for Sesshomaru at the mall. She had bought a sexy black lace nighty that had a matching thong. Once it was on Kagome walked into the room and laid on top of the covers and waited for Sesshomaru to come back in.
About 5 minutes later Sesshomaru walked through the door and stopped when he saw the sexy woman that lay on his bed. He immediately got a hard on and looked her up and down. "See something you like?" She purred. "Indeed I do." He said and moved to begin taking off his clothes, but Kagome stopped him once he had his shirt off. Kagome moved to where she was sitting on the edge of the bed and moved Sesshomaru in front of her. She let her hand wander and then finally unbutton and unzip his pants. When she slid the fabric over his hips she noticed he wasn't wearing any boxers. "You went commando tonight?" She asked amused. "Yes I did." He smiled.
Kagome smiled as he pulled the pants off his ankles and stood back up. Kagome gently grabbed his throbbing dick and began to stroke it squeezing as she went. Sesshomaru moaned at how good it felt. Kagome smiled knowing she could make him feel such pleasure. She then decided to place her soft pink lips over his hard member and lightly lick and suck while cupping his balls. Sesshomaru was thrown into a world of bliss, he wondered how she knew how to do things like this seeing as she was still a virgin and never fooled around with Inuyasha, but all thoughts were pushed from his mind when he felt her sucking a little harder making him jerk his hips forward.
He then placed his hands lightly on her head and moved his hips as his member slid in and out of her mouth. He watched her and it turned him on even more. "Kagome…" He panted. Kagome then thought to do something else and began to hum, the vibrations made Sesshomaru almost cum right there it felt so good. "K..Kagome… if you keep doing….ugh…that…I'm gonna cum." He panted at her. Kagome smiled and did it again and that threw Sesshomaru over the edge. As he came hard Kagome swallowed every single drop of his essence.
Once she knew he was done she removed her mouth and smiled up at him. She could see that his beast was close to the surface seeing as his eyes were tinged red. She smirked, "Was I that good my love?" She quipped. "Oh you were so good my love, but I am afraid if I keep going I will end up breaking my promise to you." He said. Kagome smiled, "I understand, I just wanted to please you tonight." She smiled. "You did well." He admitted. "I am glad, it was my first time trying out that kind of stuff." She blushed. "Where did you learn to do that?" He asked. "watching porn." She blushed. Now Sesshomaru had to laugh, "I must say you are a quick learner, but I wouldn't have pegged you one to look at porn." He chuckled. "I was curious." She said. "Well, there is a first time for everything. How about we watch some tv then go to bed?" He asked. "Sounds good to me." She said getting under the covers while Sesshomaru climbed in on his side. Then for the rest of the night the cuddled until they both fell asleep.
