A/N: being a girl I literally squealed noticing that I got another review (: Anywho! Next chapter is here after some editing. Hope you enjoy!

Chp 6; Potential mates

It wasn't even Shiori crying anymore, it was Kagome. Kagome took her kids and ran up to the Greenhouse. She wanted to be the furthest away from where she was. It was the first place she thought of as , Izayoi was out today with Inutaisho so it was empty. Rin ran up after them and caught Kagome just before she fell to her knees. She was still wet from her bathing suit and now she was nearly sitting in dirt but she didn't care. Her twins were watching her with tears in their eyes. They never liked to see there mother like this, they never have seen it. She was always so strong in front of them. This killed them, especially Shiori. They both were hugging her sides as she sobbed and Rin was stroking her back while Kagome cried into her shoulder. It seemed like hours but eventually she was able to breathe again. She gave both of her kids a kiss on the forehead before telling Rin to take them to their rooms for a bath. Not long after Rin left, the greenhouse door opened again. She didn't even need to look.

"Go away" she said not even looking at him.

"No" he said sitting down on the floor next to her. He was still in his swimming trunks.

"I said go away" She moved away from him only to have him push closer.

"And I said no, dammit!" he yelled back. It was silent and she still wouldn't look at him. But he was staring at her. Her legs were dirty and her knees looked scraped. Her hands were dirty but she was still wiping her face with them. Of course she'd been crying, he told himself. He just kept on looking at her and smelt the falling tears before he couldn't do it for much longer.

"Would you just look at me already!" He said

"No"

"Kagome!"

"I said no Inuyasha!" but as she was yelling he pulled her face around by her chin.

"Leave me alone!" She cried out trying to pull back but he wouldn't let her.

"Jesus Kagome! Just look at me and listen!" He pleaded

"Why should I!" she yelled back.

"Because I'm asking you to." He said seriously. His sincerity surprised her so she said nothing, just stared at him. She could see that he was fighting himself but she couldn't think of why. So, she just stayed quiet while he tried to figure out what to say.

"Listen, I -, I'm sorry about the way Kikyo acted. She wasn't supposed to be here today" She was about to butt in but he put a finger to her lips before continuing. "She wasn't supposed to be here at all. I've been ignoring her for quite some time now." He said seriously.

"Doesn't mean anything.." she muttered more to herself.

"I need you to know that I wouldn't actually let someone disrespect you or my pups like that." He said

"But you did Inuyasha, you did just that!" she hissed.

"No, I didn't. I pulled you back from clawing at her face. There's a difference."

"Same thing to me" she scoffed.

"No, you were just mad she was here in the first place and then you both started acting bitchy together. You are both at fault for that one" He simply told her. she snorted and he ignored her.

"I did nothing wrong"

"No, you protected your children. But you were still a little too angry with it"

"Are we attempting to pour the blame on someone because I assure you Inuyasha, you will lose this battle." She threw at him.

"Quit the act, Kagome!" he hissed

"Who's acting!" she yelled

"You are!"

"Why would I be!?"

"Because your still fucking pissed that I was with her in the first place!" he yelled back stunning her. He could say it so easily when she has only said it twice in her life. She hated even thinking of the past but it could roll off of his tongue like nothing.

"I'm leaving" she said trying to get up but he pulled her back down

"No you're not"

"Like hel- "

"We aren't done talking" he said.

"Well, I am!" she yelled

"Then just listen, dammit! For once!" he yelled shutting her up. She pouted more by habit and sank back down in her spot crossing her arms over her chest.

"You're still mad at me "

"no shit" she snorted before he shot her a glare making her to shut up again.

"Like I was SAYING, you're still pissed over everything. You're mad I was with Kikyo at all, you're mad I cheated on you with her in the Beginning of our relationship. The Beginning, Kagome and you're mad that you gave yourself to me only to have that thrown in your face by Kikyo" he stopped to see how she was doing and she looked stunned.

"Ma- mad that I what?" she nearly whispered.

"That you gave yourself to me that night at the gala. I know it because that night obviously changed your life entirely. an- "

"You're an idiot." was all she said, cutting in.

"Wha- how am I an Idiot. I'm finally saying what you couldn't for the past near 5 years!"he hissed

"But it's not" she replied

"not what?"

"Not the truth." she sighed

"What?" he looked at her confused.

"I was never... mad.. at myself for it being you. Yes, I was angry that you ended up choosing her and that you cheated on me with her but that.. was years ago. I was never mad that it was you though. I'd known for a long time that I was only going to give myself to someone that I was IN love with. Even if you didn't love me back that way, I knew there was love from you and I had more than enough for the both of us. For some time, yes I regretted it but that quickly changed when I had the twins because for one I would have never been blessed with them if I hadn't and two, I knew that you were someone I would always love enough to never want to take it back. I loved you so much that it felt right and still does." She stood up and started walking out. Inuyasha could just stare because what she was telling him was more than he ever thought she would admit right now. When she reached the door she turned to look back at him before leaving.

"Don't ever think I regretted it, Inuyasha. It was real for me. It was beyond what I thought was love and I was grateful that it was you I shared that with, always." was the last thing she said before running back to her room. She knew Rin had the kids so she had some time to herself after that unexpected revelation. This was the second night in a row that she would fall asleep with tears in her eyes and she hated it.

"Kagome? honey?" Rin knocked before walking, waking her up. Shiori followed in after her as well as Takumi. They both flew onto her bed and jumped for bear hugs and she couldn't help but smile even with the massive headache she felt from all that crying last night.

"Hey, guys" she said.

"We thought you might need some fun time today"

"I have to work sadly" Kagome said

"I called Ayame, she said technically you don't even have to come in unless there's an event and you've got till Thursday for that" Rin smiled.

"Sneaky" Kagome said to her smirking.

"You okay?" Rin asked, joining the group on the bed.

"as good as I can be" Kagome forced a smile for the twins but even they knew better.

"Shiori, tell mama what we are off to do for the day" Rin said wanting a happier mood throughout the room.

"Dwesses!" Shiori yelled throwing up her arms! Takumi just shook his head.

"Oh don't worry Takumi, you and Sesshomaru are going for tuxes together it's just the girls doing the dresses" Rin clarified poking Takumi to tickle him.

"Dresses? as in plural?" Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yes, I forgot, you don't know yet! I've decided… to make Shiori my flower girl and Takumi the ring barer!" Rin squealed trying to pull Kagome off of the bed.

"Now get that cute butt in the shower and get ready because we have an appointment at the shop in an hour, let's go chop chop!" Rin said with herself and Shiori trying to push Kagome into the bathroom.

"It is cute, isn't it?" Kagome winked before running into the bathroom.

An hour later they were at the salon sitting patiently as Rin was taken to a dressing room to try on several dresses. Shiori was amazed with every dress and couldn't seem to sit still for much. But, whenever Rin would come out in a different dress Shiori would finally pay attention with a huge smile. Izayoi and Kagome's mother were with them as well as Sango who Kagome learned was recently added to the Bridal party. Even Jakotsu showed up because Rin learned of his profession and just NEEDED him there. It took a long time but eventually, they found it. It was the perfect gown for Rin. It was lace with cap sleeves and a low but modest open back. It was form fitting down to her hips where it flew to the bottom with a sway. Underneath the Lace was satin so she was comfortable yet elegant as well. The mothers cried and even Sango and Kagome teared up. Shiori just felt like she was in wonderland.

Next up was finding a dress for Shiori. That didn't take long seeing as while she couldn't sit still, Shiori found a dress she was in love with that she could actually wear. Everyone coo'd when she came out with it on and when the measurement and down payments were done, the group set off. Rin felt the need to make this day productive for many reasons. One being the whole Kagome and Inuyasha thing and she wasn't just going to sit there and watch her closest friend sulk all day. When everyone else showed up and saw the way Kagome was acting, Rin just gave them a look basically saying that she will explin later and that was that. They all did their best to keep up the cheery mood all day. The next thing to do was to check out a place where Rin wanted to hold the reception.

It was beautiful but of course Jakotsu had his reasons as to why she shouldn't so that made it a NO in the book. After that, it was hall hunting. Izayoi offered up their very own ballrom but Rin felt as though it wouldn't seem like such a wedding if it was just done at home. She wanted the whole experience and no one could even argue that bit. They knew what church they wanted it in and by the end of the day they had a few options for the reception again that this time, Jakotsu approved. Now Rin just had to go over it with Sesshomaru before making a decision. Kagome went home to find her boy because she was missing him and she found him playin with Sesshomaru's tablet while he was doing work on his own laptop. Takumi was very easily distracted. When she walked in however he smelled his mother and ran to her and Shiori who was in her arms. They all went to eat dinner without Inuyasha in sight. Even Miroku was there today, and an awake Kouga.

"So, how was today ladies?" Sesshomaru asked at the table.

"Fun!" Shiori yelled making everyone smile.

"Ohh we got a lot done!" Rin squealed.

"I'm glad" He smiled at her.

"Oh Kouga?" Kagome felt like being a bitch all of a sudden.

"Hmm?" he looked at her while stuffing his face.

"When's your wedding set?" he almost choked and Miroku had to slap his back a few times.

"You're getting married!?" Izayoi asked happily.

"Wh- what?" Kouga went wide -eyed.

"I mean, you have a potential mate right?" Kagome smirked.

"I- how do you know that!" Kouga hissed.

"Oh… maybe because she works for me" she winked.

"Ayame? She's in Tokyo?!" He yelled.

"Her name's Ayame? How pretty!- Is she a wolf demon as well?" Izayoi squealed.

"Oh yes! And gorgeous too. We always have to dress up for work events and the guys just fall in love around her" Kagome teased looking straight at Kouga

"WHAT! WHAT GUYS?" He jumped up.

"Oh now you care? should've stopped pussyfooting around, maybe she wouldn't have left." Kagome simply stated.

"Where is she, Kagome?" Kouga demanded

"Not telling."

"Kagome!" he yelled

"I won't say a thing until you get your act together. She deserves more than that and you know it!" Kagome fought and finally he retreated to his seat looking defeated.

"Why the hell are you picking a fight with me today anyways.." Kouga muttered.

"It's just your lucky day" she winked making him growl. Everyone started laughing, hard.
