A/N: some memories for you guys! Hoping I did good on this chapter. R&R (:

Chp 10, Let's talk

The music was loud and the base had the walls vibrating. She was dancing, it felt different but she was doing it. Around her was Sango, Rin and some other people she could have sworn she knew. She didn't care, she was having fun. Pretty soon she felt hands resting on her hips and heat radiate behind her back. A body was pressed up against her and she caught the sight of flowing silver hair before she smirked and pushed back. They were in the middle of the dance floor but they didn't care. The music gave them a high and together they were feeling it. His hands would move up down her thighs and hips and lower sides as she moved to the music. Eventually, she stopped dancing on her own and rested against his body. She continued to move from side to side. Her body would sway as she descended and came right back up. It wasn't long before she felt him harder behind her and she had to stiff a giggle. She loved what she did to him at these moments. She knew it wasn't a good idea to tease someone who just loved getting what he always wanted but she didn't care.

She was feeling him and the music as she lifted an arm and draped it over his shoulder. He leaned into her and started to kiss her in places that made her go insane inside. The music started to change and the beat was different but she was still going with it when something felt off. The body heat that was resting behind her was gone. She stopped dancing and quickly turned around. It was just in time to see some female dressed in the sluttiest clothes dragging Inuyasha away. She pulled towards the other wall at the end of the dance floor. His back faced it and her back soon faced him as she did her best on him. Lagome could only watch in shock as he started to go along with the girl and even grab her to pull her closer to his body. Having seen enough of the near porno she left the dance floor and just walked out of the club. It was late and she was too far from home so she getting ready to call a cab when something grabbed her wrist.

"Ahh" she screamed as she was pulled back on the curb.

"WHERE do you think you're going?" he said still holding her arm.

"HOME" she hissed

"why? we haven't been here that long!" he argued.

"Why? WHY! Because If I wanted to watch basic porn, I COULD GO ONLINE!" She yelled in his face but he smirked, unphased.

"jealous?" he cocked his head to the side.

"Fuck off" she hailed another cab down.

"Oh- come on Kagome I could take you home- just. Not now!"

"Go fuck your slut" she said opening the door"

"At least she might actually give it up!" He threw up his arms at her.

"Go to hell" she yelled before getting in the cab and going home in silence...

"MAMA!"

"AHH!" she screamed as the figured jumped on her bed and screamed in her hear. Shiori nearly toppled over the side of the bed but quickly recovered.

Her breathe was hard and her face was flushed. She put a hand to her cheeks and felt dry tear streaks. It's been years since a memory haunted her nightmares. That night, specifically, should have been the night she gave up on him but it was only the beginning. Kagome started to take in her surroundings before last night started coming back to her. She was not looking forward to a grumpy morning but it seemed as though fate was obviously against her.

"Baby- kids What are you all doing here?" Kagome looked at the three.

"Rin-" Takumi was caught off.

"Rin sent you." Kagome waved him off.

"I really need to start locking my door," Kagome yawned.

"Not on your life!" Someone yelled from the door.

"Why send the kids if you're going to come in yourself." She didn't even have to look to know it was Rin.

"Because it's more fun that way." She giggled.

"What do you want?" Kagome glared before propping back underneath her warm blanket facing the opposite direction.

"Well aren't we grumpy? I brought presents, you grouch." Rin glared at the girls back.

"Leave 'em at the door and call it a day."

"I should take that as an insult.." another voice muttered making Kagome turn around to inspect. Before she could she who it was her curtains were spread open allowing every single ray on the sun to flow into her room and more specifically, her face.

"Oh for the- What are you doing!" She hissed at what she soon saw was Jakostu.

"Waking your sorry ass up" was all he said.

"Uncle!" Shiori yelled reminding Kagome that children were in the room.

"Sorry baby.." he said to her before jumping beside Kagome on the bed.

"Why are you all so annoying.." Kagome grumbled falling back on the bed.

"Why are you so angry? It's a glorious day and we have lots to talk about!" Jakotsu grinned only making her hate him more at the moment.

"Go to hell" she mumbled before a pillow hit the back of her head.

"Yo" Sango walked into the room.

"I had no idea my room was open for the public" Kagome sarcastically remarked.

"as always" Jakostu said staring at his nails.

"Who's this?" Sango pointed towards a now rose-red Shippo. Kagome used her hands to tell him to come on the bed with her so she could comfort and introduce him.

"Everyone! I would like you to meet Shippo" She smiled before placing the kitsune on her lap for everyone to see.

"..And Kirara.." he added as the cat demon propped herself atop his lap. The last thing they all expected was

"OH MY GOD, THAT'S THE CUTEST THING EVER!" Sango fawned over the cat demon who took an instant liking to her. Kagome and Jakotsu were horrified seeing as Sango hasn't considered anything cute in a girly way since like halfway through high school and she certainly hasn't fangirled over anything, ever. Rin was just as shocked but Sango wasn't paying attention to them.

"ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod, Can I keep her!" She yelled finally looking at the surprised faces. Kagome looked at Shippo who seemed kinda sad at the question but she stepped in.

"Hey.. If Sango holds onto her it doesn't mean you don't get to see her. Sango lives near me and she's almost always around, I basically can't get rid of her which means we won't be away from Kirara right?" Kagome smiled at the boy who beamed. She wasn't planning on it but now she knew she would take this boy to New York with her. She liked him and so did the kids. What's another kid to an already weird family?

"SO! With that settled, Kagome get your lazy ass-sorry kids- up from bed, NOW!" Sango went and pulled the covers making all the kids move around and start to laugh.

"My goal was actually not to leave this bed today"

"as if.." Jakotsu retorted jumping off. He found her some clothes and basically dragged her into the bathroom to get ready. Her shower was quick and her clothes were comfortable.

They pulled her away from her room and decided that she needed food so they started up their own makeshift barbecue in the back. Rin went to force Sesshomaru away from his office as well as grab his parents. Nobody mentioned Inuyasha's name and for that, she was thankful. Sango was on the grill with Inutaisho while playing with the new love of her life, Kirara. The kids were running around and Izayoi quickly fell in love with Shippo.

"Have you asked her yet?" Sesshomaru looked at his Fiancee.

"No.." she looked down.

"How come, did it not go well?"

"I don't know. She was grumpy this morning. If something went well she's usually happier in the morning. I hope he didn't fuck up to badly this time."

"There are only so many chances that girl can give him.." Sesshomaru muttered.

"Exactly."

"What are you guys whispering about?" Kagome walked up to them and sat down.

"You" Sesshomaru said before Rin punched him in the arm.

"What! It's true.." he pleaded with the fiancee that was now ignoring him. He will never understand these women.

"Me?" she asked but already knew.

"Yes, you.." Rin said.

"Just ask me Rin. I know you want to." Kagome blurted.

"How'd it go?" Rin asked shyly.

"Good, great-save for a few little arguments but when do we not."

"That's gre-" she was cut off.

"-Up until he felt the need to appear at some club."

"Idiot" Sesshomaru muttered.

"a WHAT!?" Rin yelled catching everyone's attention. Unfortunately, Sango and Jakotsu noticed the beet red color on Kagome's face and felt the need to join the gossip party.

"well- then what happened?"

"It was nothing serious really-"

"Sweetie, you take everything seriously. Just tell us."

"Someone asked him if he was tied down and he said no the he could still party with the 'runts' at home. He was playing it cool like his own family didn't even matter, you know? So I said fuck it and left him there without another word." Kagome admitted.

"You're both retarded." Sango blurted out.

"How am I retarded!" Kagome hissed.

"For the same reason I always tell you! You never give someone the chance Kagome! You've been doing this for almost five years!"

"Doing what?" Rin and Sesshomaru were confused.

"She doesn't give away trust very easily and when she does... well, it's a very tiny amount. So when someone does the smallest stupid thing in her book she- seh walks away and won't hear another word of it." Jakotsu explained.

"I do NOT!"

"You so do" Jakotsu and Sango said together.

"I take it, you have ll had this argument previously?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Try getting the girl to date- AT ALL." Jakotsu said.

"Don't even go there" Kagome glared.

"Oh shut up ,you're a stubborn prude. Everybody knows it." Sango waved her off.

"Fuck you." Kagome hissed.

"Not really going that way anymore, sorry" Sango grinned at the girl.

"You've gone that way?" They all turned around to find a really happy looking Miroku. He seemed a little to happy to here of Sango's experimental days when she was first in New York. Aside from Miroku's perverted mind the only thing on anyone else's was giant hanyou elephant that popped up.

"Can I talk to you?" he looked at Kagome.

"Fuck off" Sango piped in.

"Would yo-" he was about to snap at the brunette before a hand appeared on the girl's shoulder.

"Sango it's fine.." she said giving the former girl a small smile.

"You sure?" Sango looked at her.

"Might as well listen to you guys now right?"

"You choose now over all of those dates?! Oh lord.." Jakotsu blurted. Sango sat back down next to him and Miroku sat across form her were Kagome was just sitting. His eyes never left Sango's and if Kagome was correct, she could have sworn she saw blush creeping up her cheeks. She made a mental note to follow up on that later. Right now, she had something to do. She started to walk towards the gardens, away from the smoke of the grill and the earsof any other demons. She found a bench in front of a small fountain and sat down.

"so?"

"so"

"You wanted to talk Inuyasha so talk."

"Geez, don't have to force it you know."

"Actually I do. I don't have to be here listening to your crap!" She snapped standing up and facing him.

He had know idea. He really had no idea what he did to her to make her walk out on him last night. What could he have possibly done to piss her off this time, he had no clue. But he could tell something got to her last night. She had that look in her eyes that had hurt deep down in there with anger and resentment tryingt o cover it up.

"What did I do..?" He asked looking down. The soft tone of his voice was more than enough to surprise her. She took a moment before answering because she didn't want to sound to much like an asshole seeing as he changed the playing field.

"You should know" She sat back down.

"But I don't."

"And you openly admit that?" She looked at him.

"Kagome. Just.. tell me."

"You should know by now that I take almost everything personally, Inuyasha."

"Yea.." he said still trying to figure it out.

"We've known each other forever and you've never seemed to learn what you can and cannot say with me around." she added.

'what the hell did I say? He thought.

"Yea" he replied.

"I don't care what you want to do with your nightlife, Inuyasha. That's entirely your business and I have no control over that just because you're the father of my kids. But just.. Don't- try not to make it seem as though the family life isn't.. enough for you. Like it doesn't matter.." she admitted. He though hard, really hard. He would have missed it completely if she never tried to explain. She was just looking t him for a few minutes before it finally hit him.

"Aw-hell no! I can still party with two runts at home!"

"Shit.." he muttered to himself as everything made sense in his mind.

"huh?"

"Kagome- I-" he was cut off.

"FOOD'S DONE!" his father yelled in the distance. Kagome started to get up and walk towards the patio.

"Kagome" he called and she actually turned around.

"I'm sorry.."

"Been hearing that a lot lately.." She looked down at her feet.

"I know I- I'm trying- You know I am. It's just.. not easy. To change.." He admitted, looking away.

"To change? Change what?" she asked.

"For you Kagome. For the twins- well, kids" he smiled softly reminding her of Shippo.

"Why are you trying to change?"

"Because.." was all he said.

"Because?"

"You- you don't need the guy who focuses more on what drink to order. I don't-want you to be with that guy.." he blushed.

"And who do you want me to be with?" she asked feeling her heartbeat race inside of her. She wanted to know what he was getting at. She didn't want to give herself any shred of light or hope until she heard the truth from him.

"I um- I want you.. to be with the guy who you- who can't be away from you for too long. The guy who.. is just right for you." He looked down at his feet. He felt his heartbeat and wasn't sure if the rate it was going was healthy for him.

"just right for me?" She looked at him.

"yea"

"And who would that be" unfortunately, she had some hope inside of her.

"I was- I mean I was hoping that.. It could be me." He finally looked up at her letting the tint of his cheeks be visible. She had to hold back a giggle at the sight of him looking so vulnerable. Here he was confessing something to her and she felt her heart race and the tug of a smile at her lips. 10 minutes ago she was hating him and for some reason he never fails to make her happy again.

"You?" she smirked.

"Yea.." he looked down.

"Inuyasha." she said

"hm?"

"No more stupid club appearances?" She smiled at him. He was actually taken back by how she was reacting. He was prepared to catch his heart from flying out of his chest at the fact that she technically hadn't rejected him. The fact that he was this happy about being on her good side again kind of scared him.

"So you're saying..?" He looked at her with those eyes. Dammit, she needed some self control. She tried her hardest to hold her ground against them this time but she knew it wouldn't last.

"I'm saying you're forgiven" she said stronger than she thought and literally clapped for herself on the inside.

"Yes! Thank you thank you!" He hissed before throwing his arms around her waist and flinging her around. She started to laugh but she knew she wasn't done and so did he. he put her down and let her continue.

"I'm not saying we're together, Inuyasha" she added and his heart sank along with his smile. She had to hold herself back from leaping into his arms again just to get him to smile. She suddenly felt horrible for doing this to him.

"If you want that, you're going to need to work. I'm not that love struck 17 year old anymore-"

"Are you calling your old self easy?" he snorted despite himself. She just glared at him.

"No, but my old self fell in love with you at the age of 9 so.. She was easily convinced when it came to you. It's different now." she added

"Different how?"

"Different as in, I take work. I'm talking flowers, letters and dates that don't suck. You woo me and you got me, got it? I may not have been in many relationships Inuyasha but I do know what I want. so basically, don't fuck up again." she stated.

"yes ma'am" he saluted making her laugh. He was happy to see her laughing with him again. Last night was hell for him when he realized that she left.

"Are ya'll gonna EAT! We got some people happy to take your shit!" Sango yelled.

"Coming!" Kagome yelled before passing Inuyasha and walking back. She was about two steps past him when he grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. Their bodies crashed and Kagome was about to scream when she realized that her lips were being occupied. She melted into the kiss just as soon as he pulled away.

"Wha-" she tried to ask.

"I didn't get mine last night.." he smirked before running towards the patio.

'Holy shit, did the kids see, everyone? she thought before panicing.

"INUYASHA!"
