Chapter 3
"I-I need to think about it. That is not a no, it's a maybe ok. Just need to sort some things out ok," Kagome quickly said cleaning it up.
"I wasn't expecting that answer but I understand. Just wear it for me, take it out for a test run," Bankotsu said and placed the ring on her left ring finger.
Kagome looked at the ring and smiled. She kissed Bankotsu again and he responded back. The kiss got hot and heavy and clothes disappeared from their bodies.
Next thing the couple knew they were in the throes of lovemaking, crying out each other's names.

5:25 a.m.
Inuyasha was outside of Kagome's single family house. He had been outside of her house for the last 45 minutes. He was still pissed at catching Bankotsu's face between his wife's legs and couldn't do a damn thing about it. He brought out a black velvet box out again from his pocket and looked at the contents inside.
It was a heirloom from his grandmother. The ruby encrusted ring had ten diamonds surrounding the ruby in a square like shape. He ran his finger across the smooth jewels and closed the black velvet box.
He got out of his Cayenne black sports car and knocked on the front door.
Knock Knock
Knock Knock
Inuyasha heard feet shuffling across the hardwood floor. Then he heard the door unlock and slowly open. Kagome was in her purple robe with a yellow towel on her head.
"Morning, Inuyasha. I know you said 5:30 I just need to get Kenji dressed and put my shirt on," Kagome said rubbing her hair to dry it with the towel.
"It's ok I'll get him up. Is your friend still here?"Inuyasha asked sarcastically walking behind Kagome.
"Inuyasha. Seriously you two act like prima donnas. To answer your question, no he is gone. He had an early flight," Kagome said throwing her towel in the wicker basket in the bathroom.
Inuyasha in took a quick breath when he saw Kagome's undressed state. She only had her black shorts on and a black bra. She was trying to fix her hair quickly. He looked at her and saw a flash of silver on her finger where he planned to put his ring at.
He grabbed her hand and looked at the small ring.
"Cute. Did Kenji get this out of a Cracker Jack Box or something?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome snatched her hand away and hit his arm.
"No Kenji didn't get it out of a Cracker Jack Box,"Kagome said looking at her left hand.
"Where did you get it from then?"Inuyasha asked crossing his arms.
"Bankotsu gave it to me. He proposed to me," Kagome said in one breathe.
"Sorry love I didn't get all of that," Inuyasha said and turned a red faced Kagome towards him.
She told him and he was floored.
"What was your response?" Inuyasha wanted to know.
"I told him I would think about it,"Kagome said and turned to finish getting ready.
'So I still have a chance,' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"I'm going to go and get Kenji ready,"Inuyasha said and Kagome nodded her head.

Later in the car
"So what do I need to know. We didn't practice or anything," Kagome said placing her cellphone in her purse.
"Well we have been good friends since our Junior year in college and that's been six years. We had Kenji four years ago and wanted to make everything right six months ago,"Inuyasha said.
"Well you know the best lie is the one that's close to the truth,"Kagome said looking at Inuyasha.
"The only thing is not true is the part about us married. I almost forgot. Look in the glove compartment, pull out the black bag, open it and look inside," Inuyasha instructed her.
She followed the directions,opened the bag and pulled out the black velvet box. She opened the box lid and gasped.
"Oh my God,Inuyasha. This is beautiful," Inuyasha exit off the freeway and pulled over to a rest stop.
He turned towards her and grasped her hands.
He kissed all her fingers and double kissed her ring finger.
"I pictured this a bit different but this has to do," Inuyasha said turning in his seat after he unbuckled his seat belt.
Kagome giggled and did the same.
"I love you and want to spend the rest of my existence with you beside me. You are my best friend, mother of my child and confidant. Will you do me the honor and privilege of being ?"Inuyasha asked running his fingers through Kagome's hair.
"Yes Inuyasha I would love to be your wife forever and ever,"Kagome responded and leaned in to kiss her fake husband.
Inuyasha placed his hand behind her head to deepen the kiss.
"Eeww Mommy kissing Daddy," a four year old voice broke the romantic moment.
"Morning Buddy," Inuyasha chuckled and looked in the rear view mirror of his SUV.
"Morning Daddy. Morning Mommy," Kenji giggled and yawned a little bit.
"Morning Sweet Pea," Kagome turned in her seat to look at her son.
"He's already calling you Daddy ,"Kagome asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well it's something that's between us. It's a secret and I told him it's ok to call me that when that imposter is not around,"Inuyasha said signaling to the car behind him he was going to the next lane.
"Inuyasha,"Kagome said a bit agitated.
"Don't Inuyasha me. I don't like that guy. There is something wrong with him,"Inuyasha said parking his SUV at the gas pump.
Kagome looked at him with incredulous eyes.
"What?" Inuyasha asked when he felt Kagome's eyes on him.
"What do you mean you don't like him. What did he do other than beat you in asking me out?" Kagome asked while passing her son earphones, her EvoFire Tablet, some apples, and a cold waffle.
"I think he is around only because of a misunderstanding and wasting time. He thinks that he has a chance,"Inuyasha said and got out of the car.
Kagome shook her head and closed her eyes.
4 Hours Later
Bbbuuuurrrrmmmmm
Kagome was startled awake from the horn of a ferry. Kagome looked around and saw she was alone in the car. She got out and locked it then looked for her son and Inuyasha.
She found them on the top deck of the boat. Kenji was in Inuyasha's arms pointing at the seagulls that was skimming the water. Kagome leaned into Inuyasha's side and took in the majestic view of the expansive lakeside view.
"Mommy, I'm thirsty," Kenji said.
"Ok baby. Come on there's some snacks in the car,"Kagome said and held her son's hand.
"Inuyasha? Is that you? Oh my gosh it is you!" a female voice said to the right side of Inuyasha.
Inuyasha turned and recognized the female's voice. It was his friend Sango Mitcham.
Sango hugged Inuyasha and he reciprocated the exchange.
"Uhm, excuse me. Inuyasha who is she?" Kagome asked.
The two friends separated and Sango raised her eyebrow.
"Well, aren't you going to introduce me or are you ashamed?" Sango asked.
"Kagome, this is Sango," Inuyasha started but Sango finished.
"I'm his baby momma of his three kids," Sango said and held her hand out.
