A.N. I've decided of making it a day of updates! So far I've gone through You've Got Mail and The Not So New Guy. After I update this chapter I'll go through was I can for The Engagement AND HOPE that it'll be enough to get me updating on a regular, if not hyperactive basis like I was in high school when I started these. But anyway. Now to go on with the story.
P.S. this story is actually almost done! I'm not wanting to make it too much longer because it'll just start getting boring. But I can guarantee the ending will be fine!

"Why InuYasha?" James asked, "I don't think he's very important."
"He is to this story," Kagome retorted, leading him back to her friends, "your grandfather stole me, literally, from InuYasha."
-+-
"What do you mean he 'literally' stole you from InuYasha?" James asked, slightly confused.
Kagome laughed, "what are the stories your mother, or him, told you about his chosen human mate?"
James smiled, thinking about the stories, "when he was young, right after the pack was virtually destroyed, grandfather came upon a pack of the strangest people he could see. Two demons accompanied a half demon, a monk, a DEMON SLAYER, and a strangely dressed human girl."
As he said the 'strangely dressed human girl' Kagome laughed, "I was not strangely dressed!"
"Let me continue!" James said.
"Anyway. He watched them for a while, before picking a fight with the half demon protecting the girl. It was a strong battle for someone who should have been easy to destroy, but in the end grandfather found that the girl could see the Shikon Jewel shards he carried in his body and found that she would be useful. So when the time was right, he carried her away from her companions knowing she was better off with him in the long run.
"Later though, he found that the girl was different from the other humans, grandfather found himself falling deeply in love with her. Declaring she would be his human mate, grandfather posed a major threat to all those left in his pack that anyone who harmed her would die at his hand."
Kagome laughed. For the most part the story was right. She was proud that Kouga hadn't changed the story around here and there to make himself seem like a hero saving her from the clutches of evil!
"Can I tell you what happened then?" Kagome asked, "I am surprised to hear how accurate it is, but in all actuality your grandfather kidnapped me and one of my companions."
James looked at her, "he never said anything about another person being with you."
Kagome smiled, "yes. He wouldn't because like InuYasha, he never considered Shippo anything more than a nuisance."
"Your god-son?" James asked.
Kagome nodded, "yes. My god son, his parents, Miroku and Sango are the demon slayer and monk you referred to earlier as my companions as well.
"When we encountered your grandfather he was so fast we almost didn't know he was coming until he was there, ready for a fight. Him and InuYasha battled for some time over the jewel shards I saw he had in both legs and a arm. InuYasha decided that we would take them from him to further put the jewel I shattered, back together, but Kouga didn't like that. For some time they battled, his own companions doing nothing more than stand there. But in the end Kouga got away from InuYasha, stealing me away in the process."
James stared at her for a second before laughing, "you know this sounds like something out of a childrens book right?"
Kagome nodded, "yes. But it is my past. Technically it is your past as well."
James nodded, pulling Kagome to sit next to him in a booth, "continue please?"
And so Kagome told James the rest of the story about how Kouga claimed her, and the battle between the Wolf Demon Tribe and the Birds of Paradise.

"Do you think Kagome and James are…" Sango asked InuYasha when she noticed they hadn't returned to their booth where Ally was still sitting.
"No," he said handing out another beer and taking the money, "James was going to tell Kagome that he knows."
"How'd he figure it out?" Sango asked, rubbing her slightly swollen belly nervously, "I mean it's obviously he's of Kouga's decent, but…"
"Kagome believes that he is Kouga's reincarnation," InuYasha replied, "and I believe her. He is too much like that piece of filth to be anything else."
Sango laughed, "what do you think will happen?"
"I don't know," InuYasha replied, wiping the bar with a rag, "but if he hurts her I will tear him to shreds with my own claws."
Sango smiled, "you will not. Because then Kagome and Ally will never forgive you."
InuYasha looked at her, "I guess you're right. Where the hell is Jose?"
"He called a bit ago and said he was going to be a few minutes late," Sango replied, handing him a beer that was just ordered, "some kind of jam on the 101 west."
InuYasha nodded, "whatever. Go sit with Ally, you need to be somewhere more comfortorable."
Sango laughed, "I'd rather be home or something but I'd promised Kagome I'd stay down here a bit longer."
InuYasha nodded, "just don't do anything strenuous. No dancing, no cleaning, NO YELLING AT MEN."
Sango nodded, smiling and walked over to their booth.

"So you met InuYasha when you fell down a well?"
"Not technically but yeah," Kagome said. She had been forced to explain how she knew InuYasha as well, "when I fell in the well and was transported to the Feudal Era, I was trapped by some village men who thought I was a spy from another village. Later we discovered I am Lady Kikyo's reincarnation. But when a demon tried to kill me to get the jewel that was secretly in my body, I ran. All the way to the forest where InuYasha was. When I got there he was awake, still pinned to the tree I found him on. We fought as he was stuck there, until the demon came. More fighting ensued. I got him off the tree somehow, still cant figure it out actually, and he killed the demon. Then he tried to kill me. We found a way to subdue him, that necklace he wears is how I do it, and I traveled with him for years before I left with Miroku and sango and shippo."
James stared, "that's completely uneventful."
"I don't want to go through the whole ordeal," Kagome said, "a lot of it was hurtful for me in more than one way. Physically I was beaten by demons, thrown around like a beach ball, for the longest time InuYasha was mentally horrible to me, only just to be nice the next day… he was crazy back then. And then there was Kikyo."
"You said she was dead," James said confused.
"She was brought back by a witch," Kagome said. "Stealing part of my soul, and those of other women, she continued to hunt InuYasha until the had gathered agreement to destroy Naraku.
"But InuYasha always continued to love her. And it always hurt because he'd go and contradict himself numerous times. In the end it was what made me leave."
James nodded, gabbing her hand, "thank you for telling me that. I can tell it hurts to think about it."
Kagome nodded, "It's fine. I don't think about it anymore. Lets go back."
James nodded and followed her back to where they had previously been sitting.
"I told you they were still here," InuYasha said as they approached the table.
Kagome just raised a eyebrow when she recognized the song, grabbing Ally, "THIS IS THE SONG THAT PLAYED WHEN YOU FIRST BROUGHT ME HERE!"
InuYasha laughed with James and Sango as Kagome and Ally danced. Laughing as they remembered the first time Kagome had ever set foot in Phoenix.
"Remember that night?" Kagome asked as they moved to the music.
"Yeah," Ally said, "you met the bartender that night… that didn't last long at all."
Kagome shook her head, "no. it was strange. I think InuYasha may have scared him."
Ally laughed, "probably."
Just as Kagome and Ally were going to go sit down because the song changed, Kagome felt strong arms wrap around her and pull her close to a hard chest.
"You are evil," James whispered in her ear.
"How so?" Kagome asked, moving her body against his to the beat of the music.
"Your dancing," he said slowly, "it's hypnotic."
Kagome laughed and rolled her hips against his.
"Let's go home," he all of a sudden said, gently nipping at her neck.
"Okay," she said absently as he continued to kiss her, "guys we're leaving."
InuYasha and their other friends just stared as Kagome grabbed her wallet and tugged James to the door.
"I have a feeling I'm going to be a aunt soon," Sango said with a grin as Kagome and James left.
"Don't say that," InuYasha replied, "I'd skin him."
Ally smacked him, "what the hell?"
"It's not what you think," InuYasha and Sango said at once.
"Then what is it?" Ally asked angrily.
"Kagome dated a relative of his," InuYasha quickly made up, "back in Japan. It was bad. I don't need that happening again."
Ally nodded, resting her head on his shoulder, "you're a good friend."
"I'm even better at other stuff," he replied with a smirk.
"Not in front of me please!" Sango squealed as InuYasha kissed his fiancé deeply.
Ally smiled, "sorry. Hey Sango your bag is shaking."
Sango looked over at the table and noticed it too, pulling her cell phone out she answered.
"Hey beautiful," came her husbands voice, "guess where I am."
"Tokyo?" Sango asked as she got up and went to the bathroom where it was less loud.
"Our house in Phoenix," he replied, "you off work soon? I have shippo, take out, and me of course."
"You aren't supposed to be home for another two weeks," she said surprised.
"Kagome's grandpa let me leave early with a extra raise randomly," he replied, "now are you coming home?"
"I'll be there in twenty minutes," Sango said.
"See you then," he replied.
"Bye," she said softly. Hanging up and going back to InuYasha, "hey can I take off early?"
"Sure," he said, "you could've left any time you want to. By the way. Your on maternity as of tomorrow night. You're getting too pregnant to be working in a bar."
Sango pulled a face but nodded, "thanks. Of and Miroku's back. You guys should stop by tomorrow or something."
InuYasha nodded, hugging Sango before she said goodbye to Ally and left.
"How about we make Jose close up and you come back to my house," he said suggestively.
"I think we can do that," Ally said with a smirk.
A.N. yup it's a short chapter. I hope yall enjoy. I'll update this later this week.
