She nibbled on her lower lip, worried about the soon to happen event. And it was no small event either, it was monumental. Life altering really. But it was going to be done simplified. Just for the four of them. In public.

A long tapered finger pulled her lip from between her teeth, a thumb soon rubbing across the painted and slightly swollen flesh.

"You worry too much."

She let out an unladylike snort, he obviously didn't understand the situation like she did. "You wouldn't say that if you knew what he's like."

Looking up, she blinked before scowling. Oh, he understood, and was going to enjoy every minute of it.

"You're cruel."

The hand that had cupped her face slid to the back of her head while the person before her bent down so their lips were a hairs breadth away from each other.

She saw through half lidded eyes how his own sparked in victory and his lips quirked up at the corners lightly. With the slightest of pressure, he tilted her head up and claimed her lips in a searing kiss. Like everything else in his life and about him, it was dominating, fierce, passionate, and perfect.

When he finally released her, her lips panted against his own as her hands gripped the front of his suit.

"I've waited long enough to claim you, I believe I'm entitled to be a little, cruel. Especially with him."

"But why today of all days?"

"Simply because I can." his voice had dropped to a rumbling husky timber that sent shivers running up and down her spine, and he knew full well how she reacted to it.

"Besides, it's time he learns to share."

Rolling her eyes, Kagome couldn't deny that fact. It was something she noticed when she first moved to New York to live with him, her Mother's idea really, to get away from anything that could put her in danger. Well, it worked for a while, and then she got in the middle of it all over again.

"Come, I believe we're fashionably late as it is."

Nodding her head, Kagome allowed him to lead them further into the restaurant to where her father waited. She smiled at the sight of his own smiling face as he tried to 'woo' his own partner, only for her to coyly rebuff his efforts. It simply made him try all the harder.

In all honesty, they should just marry, everyone saw it.

His smile grew when he caught her eye, only to be quickly replaced with a scowl when it landed on the male next to her. As her father stared 'him' down, he refused to say his name unless it dealt with business and then usually sounding much like a child with a temper tantrum.

Kagome rolled her eyes, letting go of the hand she held onto to greet her father.

"Happy Father's Day." she leaned up and kissed her father's cheek while wrapping her arms around his shoulders in a warm hug.

"It would be, if 'he' wasn't here."

"Tony! Don't be like that! Besides, today's a very important day." she tried to move back, only to realize that her father wasn't about to let her go. "You can let go now."

He pouted down at her, but when she kept her face void of any expression, he let out a sigh and released her to help her into her seat. Though he made sure she was further away from her date and closer to himself.

Shaking her head at her father's antics, she silently asked her date to allow her father to have at least that much. What did he do instead? Move his chair so that he was just as close to her, if not closer, than her father.

Trying to ignore the two of them was near impossible when she was literally stuck in the middle. Pepper tried to calm her father down, but when that didn't work, the red headed woman offered whatever support she could from her seat.

"Thanks anyways Pepper, but I've grown used to their antics."

"One shouldn't have to, especially in public."

Shrugging her shoulders and taking a sip of water, Kagome waited for their food to be brought to them. When he date caught her eye, she could easily see what he wanted. Shaking her head in negative, she silently told him 'later'. To say that her father was upset with their silent communication, would have been an understatement. Even with Pepper trying to calm him down didn't help, nor whatever bribes and threats she issued.

Dinner was, to say the least, an interesting affair. So it was by the time they were into desserts or after drinks when Kagome finally felt it was time to breach the reason her date was there. Well, more like try to, as her father had taken to ignoring him the entire evening.

"So Tony, Dad, I have something I want to share with you." she had been quick to learn, that if she called him by any sort of fatherly title, things would be easier when dealing with him.

"You finally decided to join the family business!"

"I- What?!"

"Every time I bring the subject up, you always say you need time to think about it."

"But... I'm already in the family business. Both of them." she didn't have to explain what second family business she was talking about.

Tony merely pouted. It was true, she did work at Stark Industries, but he meant for her to inherit the whole thing, to become his heir. As for the other business, he still wasn't really happy about that one. But he did like every time he got to boast to Legolas and Natasha about his daughter's skills and victories compared to their own, and only after she had 2 – 3 years of intensive training where they had their whole lives was a perk he did enjoy.

"Fine. What was it?"

Kagome smiled, kept her eyes on her father the entire time, but she reached out with one hand towards her date to which he clasped and secured it in his own larger one warmly.

"Sesshoumaru and I are getting married!"

There was a few seconds of silence, but Pepper quickly spoke up, easily and happily congratulating the happy couple. It made Kagome particularly glow, she had respect for the other woman. Pepper was a great friend and always tried her hardest with any problems that Kagome usually went to her mother with.

"Congratulations you two, you make a handsome couple. Does your mother know?"

Shaking her head Kagome spoke up. "No, I wanted Tony to be the first. Sesshoumaru and I are going to Tokyo next week, so I'm going to tell my family then."

Her smile faltered when she turned towards her silent father, his face was baring no emotions what so ever. It was making it hard for her to tell what he was thinking or feeling.

"Tony... Dad?"

Sesshoumaru rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. While it didn't really matter to have the father's blessing in this day and age, both himself and Kagome were a little traditional. He had in fact spoke with her brother about taking the miko as his own, as well as her kit, as he did know her the best. But for Kagome herself, it was more of an emotional thing, to have her father accept their union.

"... I... I think I need a drink... WAITER!"

"Tony!"

"Give him a moment, he had it in his head that he could keep you for himself forever. Just like every other father. I think his brain is catching up with the fact that you're not 16 anymore."

"16 isn't all that young. And it's not like we won't see each other anymore. He's still my Dad, nothing's going to change that."

Kagome leaned closer towards Sesshoumaru as both women turned towards the man they were talking about. He was talking to the waiter in hushed tones and pointed to something specific on the wine list that he was holding.

"Dad..." the hope she had inside of her that he accepted that she and Sesshoumaru were going to marry, died with the words he said next.

"You haven't handed in the reports that were due for today." Tony watched as his daughter actually wilted in her seat. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he mentally winced at the next words he was going to say.

"Just because you're... engaged, doesn't mean you can slack off. As my daughter, others will look towards you and your work ethnics. So that means handing all papers in on time. That will include until your... wedding day, to which I will be walking you down the aisle." he pried and eye open to take in Kagome's ecstatic face.

She threw herself from her chair to wrap her arms around his shoulders, gushing 'thank you' and 'I love you' over and over. His own arms wrapped tightly around her in return. But the message he was sending his soon to be son in law was something else entirely.

'Hurt her, and I will kill you.' he did have friends in high places. He was pretty sure Thor wouldn't mind doing anything for Kagome, which pissed him off.

Sesshoumaru merely bowed his head, wearing that damn smirk of his, and all of this with an unaware Kagome still in the middle.

Tony grimaced, his hold on Kagome tightening all that much more and silently praying that the damn waiter would hurry up with their drinks. He could really use a stiff one. Or two. Ah hell, he could use the whole bottle.

AN: A little something that came to mind when Sugar0o requested one with Sesshoumaru as Kagome's significant other and Tony as her father. Well, I hope this is to your liking! :) Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
