Chapter 4: New Life, Bad Move

Just as Inuyasha said, we were out of his small house within a few days. I had called Sango the morning after I stayed at his house for the first time, telling her that I was going to be living with Inuyasha from now on but I would see her at school the next week. She didn't complain because she told me that her and Miroku had hit it off the night before, and even though he was pretty touchy and perverted she really liked him and was going to live with him also.

The day before we got the moving van to take all of our things away I went out shopping buying all kinds of varieties of clothes and shoes, from formal suits to summer skirts and tank tops. And formal party dresses to summer dresses and party clothes. Inuyasha had said he didn't think teachers could wear party clothes, but what he doesn't know is just because I'm a teacher doesn't mean its going to stop me from going out to have fun.

Also along with all of the clothes that I bought, I bought the furniture that I wanted or needed for the room I was going to have at the mansion. And when I got home that night I thought that Inuyasha was going to have a heart attack because of the huge stack of receipts that I had gotten from all of the stores I went to. That night we finished packing the remainder of the things that were inside the house and going to the mansion the next day, and then we laid down on our pallets on the floor and fell asleep.

THE DAY OF MOVING

Inuyasha and I got woken out of our peaceful slumbers by a loud bang at the door. Inuyasha growled and pulled the pillow over his head, leaving me to go to answer the door. I stood up slowly rubbing my eyes, making sure my clothes looked OK, and combing through my hair with my fingers before opening the door.

"KAGOME!?" A female voice said surprised.

I looked up in shock to see Inuyasha's parents and brother standing before me. I smiled and ran to hug Izayoi. "I thought I would never see you again! I totally forgot that you were coming because of all of the things going on lately!" I screamed excited.

"Oh it's so good to see you! We haven't seen you in so long. You're beautiful as always. How is that son of ours treating you?" She asked.

"Good I guess." I replied looking down at my feet.

"You mean you guys are back together but you're not getting along very well?" Sesshomaru asked.

I looked at him and smiled slightly. "We aren't back together." I said earning shocked looks from all three of them. "We're just friends, he owed me something for causing me so much trouble and so I'm going to be living with him in the mansion. Besides, he is already dating Kikyo Shikon, the famous actor."

"What?!" Izayoi said.

"Where is Inuyasha?" Inutaisho finally spoke up.

"I'm right here." Inuyasha said from behind me, making me jump.

Izayoi glared at him and stood up tall. "Why didn't you tell us that Kagome was here?" She asked.

"Do you have to know every part of my life?" He responded, lifting an eyebrow.

"Yes we do, you may be old enough to live on your own and do what ever you want, but just remember that we are the ones that are helping you live here. I could have talked your mother out of letting you go into coast guard and into letting me push you into business, but I didn't because I didn't want to push you away." Inutaisho said.

Sesshomaru stepped forward and grabbed a hold of my arm, careful not to gouge my arms with his claws. "Come Kagome, I think we should take the first moving van over to the mansion, I have a feeling this is going to get even more serious than it is now if we stay."

"Oh no you aren't taking her anywhere Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said.

"I'm fine. Your brother wouldn't harm me, because if you remember right we used to be friends." I said looking at him. "I don't want to get in the way of your family affairs anyway, I'm not part of the family so I'm going to leave and let you talk." I turned around and waved while walking to the van with Sesshomaru.

"It really is good to see you again Kagome, really. You have grown up a lot and have more beauty to you than you did, if that is even possible." Sesshomaru said while keeping his eyes on the road.

I smiled. "Thank you. You on the other hand haven't changed a lot besides getting taller and having more muscles. Although; you have a fatherly aura to you. How has everything been?" I asked.

Sesshomaru looked at me and smiled for once. "You remember Rin from high school right?" He asked.

I nodded. "She was the silent one in my grade that always sat in the corner away from people, looked like a geek but without her glasses on she was gorgeous?"

"Yes that was her, and may I say that she has totally transformed into a beautiful butterfly." He replied.

"Ugh, Sesshomaru, stop getting all gushy, I can deal with the rest, just no more of the mushiness from you, it just isnt normal." I said looking at him with a grossed out face then we both started laughing.

"I missed having you around." He said finally getting his composure back from laughing. "Anyway, Rin and I hit it off right about the time that you and Inuyasha broke up. We got married shortly after, I tried to send you an invitation but it just came straight back."

"Oh, yeah, I was never hardly at home but mostly at school or with my friend Sango, and before long I just moved out of my apartment and moved in with her." I said.

He nodded and continued. "Anyway, it so happens that she was pregnant when we got married, so nine months after our wedding she gave birth to a little girl. Her name is Keitaro Amaya Takahashi. Of course I love my daughter a lot even more than my own life, but she cant be the one to take over the business when she gets older, so we had to have a heir. Rin is now pregnant again, but with twins now, one boy, one girl. We came up with two names already, our boy is going to be Kaemon Ryu Takahashi, and our girl is going to be Nariko Yoshe Takahashi."

"Those are lovely names." I said smiling. "I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your wedding or Keitaro's birth."

He looked at me and smiled. "It's fine. Rin is at a hotel resting while Keitaro takes a nap, we're going to stay here until she gives birth because she wants these children to be born here, though I don't know why." He replied.

"It's a beautiful place. I want to have a family here someday." I replied.

He nodded. "So what made you decide to come here?" He asked.

"Well…" I thought about whether I should tell him or not, and finally realized it was Sesshomaru, he would know what I meant. "Well I just got my teaching degree back in Japan a little over a year ago, and I quickly got accepted into a school there. As you can imagine, I was never able to forget your brother, he was the first guy that actually stayed with me, and not for sex. Not like I would have gave him my innocence anyway, but he didn't want it, he wanted my love. After he left I was encouraged to work my way up as fast as I could so I could come to America and find your brother." Taking a breath I looked at him.

"I kind of figured you were going to do that." He replied.

I nodded and continued. "Things did not work out as planned. I was going to come here and get working with my best friend Sango and then perhaps run into Inuyasha someday. But for some reason the ship we were on, on the way over sunk. I wasn't ready to swim so I swallowed water and started choking, staying above water as best as I could with some of Sango's help, but eventually I blacked out. The next thing I knew I was choking up water and looked up to find your brother right there beside me. He saved me…" I finished.

"Oh so that's how he found you. I bet you were both shocked. But not as shocked as mom and dad were when they seen you open up the door to Inuyasha's house today. We weren't expecting anyone but him to be there, and we were defiantly shocked to find that you two weren't dating but that he was dating the biggest slut ever." He said.

I nodded. "Yeah…"

"You still love him." He said more than he asked.

I nodded again. "Yeah I do… but you know, I need to move on. He has Kikyo, and that first night that I was with him; he even told me that he thought he loved her. I'm not going to be some girl sitting on the sideline while he plays his little game. I'm going to go out and find someone to love me. Maybe they won't be as good as Inuyasha was when we were eighteen but at least I will be happy and he will too.

Sesshomaru nodded. "I agree that you should go find your happiness. You deserve so much more than what he has and will put you through until he gets his head out of that ass of his and think straight about what he really feels about you. He cant possibly love you less than that… thing… that he is dating now." He said looking at me and smiling.

I smiled back. "So is this the mansion?" I asked as we pulled in a long S driveway.

"Yes it is, want to go look around?" He asked.

"Yes that would be nice, maybe I can even figure out which room I want before Inuyasha has a say so." I said smirking.

Sesshomaru chuckled and took out his key. I looked up at the mansion we were standing in front of. It was HUGE, we walked forward and as soon as we got into the doors we were amazed. Just on the floor itself there was a door that led to a 4-car garage, two stairways that went up to the second floor from each end of the mansion, an elevator even! There was a spiral staircase that led up to a balcony hallway that led to a huge dining room. "This must be a place for huge parties." I said. "Your parents must have spent a fortune."

"Not really." Sesshomaru replied. "But yes, this is meant for huge parties, there will probably be quite a few here. Come on we aren't done looking at all of the rooms." He said as we walked to look at the rest.

We finished looking at the first floor there were three bedrooms with private baths, a leisure room that is open to the pool deck, a laundry room, media/home theater, a storage area, and an outdoor cabana.

"I…I'm afraid to look at what is on the second floor." I said.

Sesshomaru laughed. "Me too. But we have to find out some time or another. Come on." He said grabbing my arm as we took the spiral stairs up.

The second floor was even more amazing than the first. It held a dining room, a wine cellar, a parlor, a living room, a study, an alcove, and a cute island kitchen with a pantry. Also a family room and breakfast nook, and a powder room (bathroom), the elevator that was linked with the one downstairs, and also the stairway and spiral stairway that lead downstairs. To top it all off there was a large master suite with a personal bath and WIC and instead of a window there was a large deck that overlooked the pool and hot tub out in the back yard that had beautiful lights surrounding it, I could only imagine how beautiful it would be at night time when all of them were reflecting off of the water. The whole house has pure white carpeting and the walls had the same color of paint while the finest oak wood put the ceilings together in a slanted form.

I smiled. "It's all so beautiful." I said.

"Yes." He replied. "Did you decide which room you want?" He asked.

"Well I know I cant have this one sadly." I said.

He nodded.

"I guess I'll take the one downstairs that is closest to the pool door." I said smiling.

Sesshomaru smiled and shook his head and then we walked back downstairs just as Inuyasha and his parents came walking through the door.

"What do you think of the place Kagome?" Inutaisho asked.

I smiled a bright smile at him. "It's big and beautiful enough to fit the highest king and queen." I said.

Izayoi smiled. "Just think of you as the princess." She said.

"Oh no, me myself in a place like this, if I didn't know Inuyasha I'd just be a common maid." I said.

Sesshomaru looked at me. "What did I tell you in the van about your beauty?" He asked.

I blushed. "But even if I do have that much beauty, it doesn't mean I would suit a princess." I replied.

Inutaisho smirked. "Whatever you say. But your new nickname from Izayoi and myself is going to be princess."

If it was possible I blushed about twenty shades of red before turning to Inuyasha and asking what van my things were in.

"They are in the third. Come on Sesshomaru, mom, dad, lets get all of this stuff inside here and set up before its night time and too late for you guys to head back to your hotel." Inuyasha said.

We all nodded and got to work.

6 Hours Later

I sighed laying down on my bed that I had just made. Izayoi, Inutaisho, and Sesshomaru had just left after we went out to eat dinner and I was exhausted and sore from moving all of our things from the vans to the house.

I sat up and looked around my room that still had boxes sitting around with clothes inside. 'I wonder which one has my bathing suite in it.' I thought.

Standing up I went over to the boxes that were marked 'Summer' and opened it up. Luckily the first one I opened was the one that had my bathing suit in it. It was kind of simple. A black two-piece that ties around my neck and back once and bikini bottoms that tied at each side. I took off my dining clothes and put them in the hamper by my door and quickly put on the bathing suite. I went to my dresser and looked in the mirror. "Oh yuck…" I said as I seen how many knots and rats were in my hair. I dug my hairbrush out of my purse and started working my way through the rats' nest and then brushed my hair back into a low ponytail. I then looked at myself in the mirror again. There were a few major things that changed about me from the eighteen-year-old girl I used to be when I last seen Inuyasha. I no longer had the baby fat that I did back in high school, but my stomach was flat from working out on my spare time with Sango. My breasts went up three sizes from a 36b and I was a double d. And my butt had gotten rounder from working out too. Since it was still the summer time I still had a tan from going and sitting out with Sango and swimming at her house with her and her and our brothers Kohaku and Souta.

After I was satisfied with how I looked I went inside my bathroom and got a towel then headed to the door that lead to the pool and hot tub. I laid the towel down and took my flip-flops off, making my way over to the hot tub. After a long day of working, there was nothing like a good soak in hot water. And boy did I need some relaxation.

I heard the shutting of a door behind me and opened my eyes to turn around and look. There stood Inuyasha, in his red and black swimming trunks, his well defined abs and muscles popping out. I almost couldn't pull my eyes away but not wanting to start anything I cleared my thoughts and looked away.

He walked over to me and looked down. "Mind if I join you?" He asked.

"Sure, it's not only my hot tub." I replied.

He smirked and got down into the hot tub, sitting beside me. "Ah, feels good after a long day huh?" He asked.

"Mmhm." I said leaning my head back. When I opened my eyes to look at Inuyasha he was looking at my chest. "Eck stop being such a pervert Inuyasha, you have a girlfriend, go stare at her chest."

"Well I cant help it if they are just there, besides they have gotten bigger…. Way bigger." He said.

"Thank you Captain Obvious." I said.

"Well you got Captain right." He said winking at me.

I shook my head. "Inuyasha Takahashi you haven't changed a bit." I said sarcastically.

"And you Kagome Higurashi, have changed too much." He said back, hiding a smile.

I shook my head again. "Whatever."

He chuckled. "So what did you and Sesshomaru talk about the way here?" He asked.

"Oh you know, how we were doing, he told me about Rin and his family. So we stayed on that topic for awhile and then he asked me why I decided to come here so I told him why and how I got here. Then we arrived here at the mansion." I said.

"Oh?" He said leaning back. "Why are you here?" He asked.

"Are you always this snoopy?" I asked.

"Only with people that interest me." He replied.

Sighing I sat up. "I came here because this was the only place I could find a good opening with kindergartners, plus, California holds a bunch of amazing and interesting things." I said while watching all of the lights turn on, one-by-one, reflecting off the pool in an amazingly beautiful way.

"I see." He said. "And here I thought you came back to see me."

I blushed. "Why would I do that? I hadn't seen you for five years, I was shocked when I woke up to find that you were the one that saved me." I replied.

He sat up. "It's my job to save people, do you think I wasn't shocked when I moved your hair out of your face to reveal the girl that I once loved?" He asked.

"Well… I didn't mean for it to sound like the way you took it Inuyasha, I'm sorry." I replied.

He shrugged. "It's okay, I know a way that you can make it up to me." He said moving his face close to mine to kiss me.

I would have done it too, if it weren't for the image that popped into my mind of Kikyo. I pulled back and looked at him still moving closer. "What about Kikyo? You said you loved her." I replied.

"Humans… they are merely just for play for us demons." He said.

I was shocked and pissed. So he was just going to use me as a play toy? I don't think so. "You asshole!" I screamed slapping him as hard as I could across the face. "Don't treat me like I'm a play toy like Kikyo, I'm not going to be your bitch. If you thought that think again." I said slapping him again before getting out of the hot tub, grabbing my things and going inside.

So what did you think?? Yeah I know I ruined a perfect moment for Inuyasha and Kagome to be intimate, but they ant be all lovey dovey can they? It's only the fourth chapter! So I'll leave you with some interesting questions… Will Kagome stay away from Inuyasha? Will she go to him and accept to being his play toy? Will Inuyasha dump Kikyo? Will Kagome and Kikyo meet? Will I ever stop asking these questions?? Haha. Well you guys will just have to keep reading to find out!! REVIEW PLEASE!! Until next time… --Paige;
