Note: This chapter is a teensy bit more suggestive themes than the previous chapters. It definitely isn't anything mind-bogglingly sexual, but it makes a few references to sex.

Oh! And Inuyasha may or may not piss you off. I know he pissed me off. Just a quick warning. (;

He hadn't spoken to Kagome for days. He wasn't sure what he would say to her, and it wasn't like she made an extraordinary amount of effort to contact him either. There was no doubt that she was probably just as cluttered as he was. Their relationship was complex, yet so simple.

She was his. End of story.

His what, though? That was where the simplicity desisted and yielded to the complexity. She was his bestfriend, ever since the day she lent him her red crayon when he was the new kid in preschool, she stood by his side. Even when he was ridiculed for being scrawny; even when he was ridiculed for being a half demon, she never left his side.

As he got older, built more muscle, and learned how to defend himself properly; the bullying ceased, and instead of girls turning their noses at him, they flocked him. Whether it was for his looks or for the dollar signs attached to his name, they fell at his feet, and vied for his affections. But Kagome, she was there before any of them, and she would stay by him. She had to.

She was his.

"Inuyasha, come back to bed. I'm cold."

Kaguya pouted, alluring eyes peering at him behind fluttering lashes. She rose from the bed, not even bothering to wrap the sheets around her nude body, and made her way over to him.

Inuyasha threw her a fanged smirk, stroking the naked thigh she wrapped around him. The smell of sweat and sex filled the air. "Cold huh?" His hand continued gliding against her skin.

Kaguya nodded with a sultry lick of her lips. "Can you warm me up baby?"

His smirk widened, lids sinking as a groan tore from his mouth when she pressed her body even closer to his, rubbing her heat against his hardness. Without replying, he fondled her bottom, placing rough nips on her exposed flesh.

"Miroku, you're an idiot!" Kagome exclaimed, laughing. "Can't you stop feeling up on every nice ass that passes by? Geez!"

Miroku grabbed the ice cream cone from her, licking it languorously. "Hey, you have a nice ass and I don't feel up on you!"

"You did when you first met me in middle schooll!"

"Yeah, and I learned my lesson when Inuyasha almost pulled out my dick and fed it to me. Shit!"

At the mention of Inuyasha's name, Kagome's mood dampened a bit. They hadn't spoken since the incident in her bedroom, and she couldn't keep her mind from drifting to the way it felt against him. She wanted it - it being whatever he was willing to bestow - and if Kaguya hadn't called, she wouldn't have stopped him if he tried to get any further.

And that bugged her. Immensely. She wasn't 'easy', she wasn't like any of the girls that her two best guys - Inuyasha and Miroku - chucked off to the side when their 'little game' was up. No, she was raised better than that, and she had too much self respect to ever be in any of those girls' positions.

"Plus, it'll be too incestuous to touch you now, you're like my baby sister. I'll feel like a pervert."

His voice interrupted her thoughts, and she giggled, flicking away her bangs. "Pfft. You are a pervert Miro! And, I am not a baby! You're like what - older than me by 2 months?"

He simply stuck his tongue out in response, his lips sliding into a grin. Kagome was a close runner up to his favorite girl. Of course, Sango would always be the first, but Kagome definitely gave her a run for her money. She understood all his salacious jokes, and he could always trust her to keep quiet on confidential matters.

"So, how are you and Sango?"

Miroku sighed, his grin dropping into a frown. "I don't know." He really wasn't sure anymore. He cared about her, there was no doubt about that, and she had to feel something for him too. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so angry with him when he was with other women. He just wasn't entirely sure on his feelings for her. They were strong enough that he wanted to throttle himself when he hurt her, but were they strong enough to put a stop on his bad habits?

Kagome looked at him earnestly. "Do you love her?" She was aware that the relationship between Miroku and Sango was as complicated as her relationship with Inuyasha. Different, but similarly elaborated.

Love... that word intimidated him. There were so many intricacies attached to the word, so many things that could go wrong with the feeling. "I don't know the answer to that either." He answered honestly.

Kagome patted his arm soothingly. She could relate to what he was feeling.

She, herself, was confused with her own feelings for a certain someone.

"Who's this, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha stared at the picture frame in Kaguya's hand.

"Oh, that's Kagome."

Her brown arched. "Kagome?"

Yup, good ol' Kagome. His Kagome. His bestfriend. Just his, all his. "Mhm. I've known her for awhile, so she's a good friend. Well, actually, she's my bestfriend." The same bestfriend that he was extremely close to having his way with a few days ago. Fuck.

Kaguya's eyes drifted back down to the picture of a sunny scenery and a dark-haired girl kissing Inuyasha's pouting face. "Should I be worried?" Her tone was playful, but there was an underlying hostility to her question.

Inuyasha gazed at the picture for a moment. Should she be worried?

"Nah." He wasn't sure if his answer was completely genuine, because he didn't know himself.

"You sure she's just a friend Inuyasha? She looks more like a girlfriend than a bestfriend in this picture."

Well, that probably had something to do with the fact that the picture was taken when they were dating during their second year of middle school. His lips lifted into a soft smile. She was his first girlfriend, he was her first boyfriend, and they were in puppy love for a good two years.

"I hope you liked my gift Inu. I wanted to give you the perfect gift." Kagome gleamed at him, coruscating eyes put the sun to shame with their radiance.

Inuyasha exhaled deeply, readying himself for what he'd been planning to say for weeks. He was anxious to finally put his plans to action, he couldn't chicken out now. Still... it certainly didn't help that she looked so pretty today in her dress.

"Of course I liked it dummy. I'd like anything from you Kagome, but..." He trailed off.

Kagome's brows furrowed and her eyes already began to fleck with worry. But what?

"I want another gift from you."

Kagome tipped her head to the side. "What?"

"I want-" he swallowed thickly, heat spreading on his face. "-I want you to become my girlfriend."

Inuyasha was blushing profusely now, cheeks adorably scarlet, as he waited for her response. It was his 13th birthday and he had pulled her away from the rest of the guests to a private area in the garden. He watched as her eyes widened and she flushed sublimely.

His ears drooped when a few more minutes passed and she remained silent. "It's okay. I understand." Then, he turned to leave.

"No. Wait-!" Kagome latched onto his arm. "I.." She worried her bottom lip before suddenly standing on the tips of her toes and swiftly pressing a chaste kiss -their first kiss- on his lips. "I would love to be your girlfriend."

"Inuyasha! Helloooo! Anyone home?"

Flustered, his eyes connected with Kaguya's. "Huh?"

"Is this Kagome girl more than just a friend?"

He lowered his head, breaking eye contact, and snatching up a pair of boxers. "I'm gonna take a shower, you comin' with?"

Kaguya pursed her lips, eyes narrowing slightly. He didn't answer her question. So, did that mean that she did have competition? Her eyes swept over his chiseled features down to his athletic physique. Yes, Inuyasha was three years younger than her. He was still in highschool while she was already in college, but he fucked her better than any man her age. It definitely helped that he was gorgeous and filthy rich too. Her eyes moved towards the picture in her hand again, placing it back on the desk. This Kagome girl would not get in the way, she would make sure of it.

She sauntered over to him with a sensuous swing of her hips and a suggestive twinkle in her eyes. She winked flirtatiously as she walked past him, towards the door of his bedroom's bathroom. "You comin' lover-boy?"

He was captivated by her seductive strut and the inviting way her long hair kissed naked skin. With a nod, he followed after the bewitching woman.

Mentally, she smirked. She was twenty-one and sexy. What could he want with a silly, little, highschool girl when he had her?

Inuyasha embraced Kaguya's body from behind, their skin smacked against eachother as they walked in unison through the door to his bathroom. She noted with arrogance that he was already ready to play some more.

What could the little girl even have to compete with?

Absolutely nothing.

A/N: So, I hope those of you who read enjoyed this chapter. I have a feeling it probably bothered you reading about Inuyasha and Kaguya. It bothered me writing it. (X

I was wondering if it would bother anyone if this story included "lemons". I'm sure many of you know what "lemons" are by now, but just in case you don't; a "lemon" is basically a "love scene", in other words, a scene that contains sex. I'm thinking about including more sexual scenes in this story, just to spice it up more, but I wouldn't want anyone to get uncomfortable. Of course, if "lemons" are included, they definitely wont be detailed to the point of having anyone blushing to their toes. (X Please do tell me your personal preference on this case. I would appreciate knowing. (:

Reviews are highly appreciated, it makes me feel better knowing what others thought of the chapter.
