Taste Of Love
Kagome ran away from her demanding family and found herself right in the arms of Takahashi Inuyasha. Caught up in his world, it's getting hard for her to leave, for she has had her first taste of love.

Hell, for One Month
"Ninety nine bottles of juice on the wall, ninety nine bottles of juice! Take one down and pass it around, ninety eight bottles of juice on the wall!" Ai sung at top of her lungs as Kagome yanked a white t-shirt over Ai's head.
"Calm down sweetheart." Kagome frowned as she tried to pull the opening over Ai's head.
Two weeks passed rather sufficiently and nothing too exciting happened. Yuka and Hayabusa, along with their two kids, Kasumi and Ichiro, would be two weeks late because of something that happened Hayabusa's work place. Daichi and Ayumi decided to come along with Yuka and Hayabusa and since Hojo and Hayabusa owned a partnership together, Hojo and Eri Asuki along with their son, Kyo, would be two weeks late as well.
So only the Lin family, the Lang family and Higurashi Kagome would go on their great journey to the Takahashi summer home. Miroku claimed that Inuyasha kept a spare key around the home so they could easily enter. Miroku doubted Inuyasha would be there…
Highly doubted.
"Kouga and Ayame are going ahead of us," Miroku told Kagome as he walked into his daughters room to find Ai all ready and Kagome ready herself. "Hikari is coming in our car to keep Ai company so you can get the joys of babysitting two kids."
Kagome gasped. "I'm insulted that you would call it babysitting!"
Miroku rolled his eyes and left the room, muttering something like a second daughter and Kagome glared at his back before turning back to her beautiful goddaughter. "You got perfect marks on your preschool report card," on the side she muttered to herself, "those exist?" before turning back to her goddaughter, "So we're going to have the bestest time the next month. Daddy's off work and Hikari's going to be there with you!"
Ai squealed as she jumped up a few times, launching onto Kagome's back who gave her a piggyback ride down the stairs, all of their bags packed and by the door. Sango placed her hands on her hips and raised a brow at the two girls before her.
"Miroku is right, we have two daughters."
Kagome rolled her eyes as she picked up her suitcase and walked out the door. "You guys are weirdo's, you know that right?"
"And proud." Sango merely rolled her eyes as they headed to the driveway, where Miroku was ready in the car. Kouga and Ayame had already arrived and Hikari was waiting in the Lin car. Miroku got out and went to the entrance, to grab a few bags to shove into his trunk as Kagome waved at Kouga and Ayame before going into the car, sitting behind the driver's seat while Hikari and Ai buckled in.
"How long is the ride?" Kagome raised a brow.
"Four hours," Miroku announced as they all buckled in, "so get ready and prepare your ears for Hikari and Ai's singing."
Ai pouted and Sango laughed as Kouga and Miroku reversed, Miroku's car going ahead of Kouga's.
"Long ride," Sango sighed, "here we come…"

"We're here," Inuyasha said as Kikyo hopped out of his car.
"Great! I was getting tired." She yawned as she stretched, purposely trying to show her body. Inuyasha merely ignored her as he went to the summer home. It was a rather large home in the middle of larger property. The property had a few ponds, a forest, a back yard pool and jungle gym (for whenever the kids came over) and a horse stable.
"So," Kikyo winked seductively at Inuyasha, "I'll take your room…with you in it?"
Inuyasha shrugged as he brushed past her, causing her to pout.
"Do whatever, I'll prepare lunch…"
"Lunch?" Kikyo seemed aghast as she walked behind Inuyasha, frowning.
"We're here, in your summer home… virtually alone- with your workers here to prepare lunch for us… why pass up golden opportunities?"
Inuyasha raised a brow. "And what do you propose we do?"
Kikyo pressed her lips against his and his hands, though reluctant, went around her waist, she was leading them back to the sofa. Her back hit the sofa and they rolled over it, Kikyo on top and Inuyasha on the bottom.
"That's more like it…" She moaned as they continued…

"So like fifteen more minutes?" Kagome yawned as she leaned against the backrest and Sango nodded.
"Yeah… anyways, how are you going to pull off one month at the Takahashi place without blowing your cover?"
"Right," Kagome rolled her eyes, "Sango nobody knows Miko is Higurashi Kagome."
"And if Akira decides to advertise your state of being missing?" Miroku raised a brow and Kagome snorted.
"I'm a legal adult."
"Girl has a point." Sango nodded and Kagome laughed as Miroku pulled up to a rather rural, rather farmer-land like patch of area.
"We're here?" Kagome raised a brow.
"Almost." Miroku nodded as Ai squealed. "Five more minutes before we pull up to his property."
"Imagine Inuyasha is at the summer home," Kagome tapped her chin, "having ravishing sex with his girlfriend or something- wait he does have a girl right?" Kagome raised a brow.
Miroku chuckled. "Yeah, Kikyo- heard of her?"
Kagome coughed. "Scandalous porn star? Who hasn't?"
"Porn? What is that?" Hikari raised a brow and Kagome gulped.
"Bad word, don't say it." Sango said sternly as Miroku pulled up in front of a beautiful creamy white home with pale yellow shutters and a deep black roof.
"Rather good looking house," Kagome mused, "must admit, one of the most sophisticated homes I've seen."
"Really?" Sango raised a brow as they headed over to Kouga's car, as they had parked in the front of the home. Inuyasha's car was in the back, so they didn't see it- or else they would've been spared an untimely sight.
"Yeah- I have a summerhouse, it's quite small and it is nothing compared to this."
"Takahashi Inuyasha," Kouga rolled his eyes as he walked up to them, "need anything else said?"
"Good point." Miroku chuckled as Ayame and Sango started fretting over their daughters. Kouga started pulling the bags out of both cars as Miroku and Kagome went to open the door, Kagome quite curious to see what the richest man's summerhouse would look like.
"You have any idea where the spare key is?" Kagome asked as Miroku grinned as he reached down and lifted the WELCOME carpet and Kagome sweat dropped.
"What a typical hiding spot- I wouldn't have ever guessed." She grinned as Miroku laughed. Ai and Hikari ran up to Kagome as Miroku opened the door and pushed it open…
"HOLY SHIT!" Miroku roared as Kagome's hands flew down and covered Ai and Hikari's eyes, her own eyes reflecting shock.
"Ai, Hikari, let's go back to the car…" Kagome said as she was about to move the kids but Miroku reached down and lifted Hikari up, waking away from the door and placing her down beside Ayame as Kagome rushed over with Ai.
"What's wrong?" Sango raised a brow.
"Remember how I said what if Inuyasha was over making out with his girlfriend?" Kagome asked sheepishly as Sango's eyes bulged.
"WHAT?" She screamed as she and Ayame ran over to the door to find Kikyo on top of Inuyasha, both of them in utter shock.
"Oh my god!" Ayame's hand flew up to her mouth as she turned back and looked at Kagome who was twitching madly, and two very curious girls beside her.
"Ai and Hikari didn't see?" Ayame asked and Miroku nodded as he punched his car. Kouga was grinning wildly as he walked over and stood between the two women, his arms wrapping around Sango and Ayame.
"Having fun there, man?" Kouga raised a brow and Inuyasha growled as he shoved Kikyo off of him.
"What the hell are you all doing here?" He snarled as Kouga shrugged.
"Our summer activity was to ambush your summer home. The others ain't here, they all busy but the Lang's and Lin's are here."
Inuyasha stood up and walked over to the door, a hard look on his face. His clothing was messed up, his hair in disarray, strands coming out of his ponytail. His face was flushed from sucking lips with Kikyo for so long and his anger flaring, for the fact they had came to his summerhouse without permission.
"Who gave you permission to fucking come over?" He growled.
"I was gonna ask for permission!" Miroku said walking up, "But Sango started yelling at me for keeping beer in Ai's reach."
"You can't stay." Inuyasha said strongly. "I planned the next month with my girlfriend and I ain't gonna give it up because you dumb asses didn't think you should call me. Fucking retards…"
"Stop swearing." Kagome spoke up, walking up with Ai and Hikari beside her. Inuyasha's eyes slightly widened as he saw the young woman walk towards him, her body releasing an aura of defiance.
"Pardon me?" He raised a brow, his voice like silk.
"I said," Kagome repeated calmly, "stop swearing. Ai and Hikari are here and I, personally, do not think you should use vulgar language in front of two, still developing, young girls. If you, honestly, have a problem with us staying, then say something, and don't say it with dirty words attached to it. You can very well say you do not wish for us to stay without attaching the F word."
Inuyasha's mouth tightened, not liking how she was shutting him down.
"Now," Kagome said, "I have a summerhouse too, I have to admit it's small but I have one here, my father thought it'd be good if me and my brother did." Kagome tried to keep the names of her family member not mentioned. "It's only three bedroom but maybe we could work it out? Ai and Hikari can sleep with me and you four can get your own rooms."
"What about when Hayabusa, Daichi and Hojo arrive with their family?" Kouga asked and Kagome frowned.
"The kids can sleep in my room…" Kagome tried to work it out.
"Great summer this turned out to be." Ayame threw her hands up in the air and Kagome sighed.
"No- it's not gonna turn out bad. Worst comes to worst I'll rent us out hotel rooms just to make it feel like we've gone somewhere." Kagome grinned comically as Hikari frowned.
"Uncle Inu isn't going to let us stay?" She tilted her head. "I wanted to try horseback riding!"
Kagome went down to eyelevel with Hikari and Ai. "No- your Uncle Inuyasha is busy so we'll go to Kagi's summerhouse?" She said, referring to herself, since Hikari called her Kagi.
Inuyasha leaned against the door as Kikyo came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his torso.
"You heard what he said," her grin was bittersweet, "leave?"
Kagome snorted as she held Ai and Hikari's hands and started walking away, but Kikyo frowned.
"Excuse me? What the hell was up with that sound?"
Kagome pretended to look shocked. "What sound? I do believe sucking face with mister rich snob over there is making you hear things."
Miroku stifled his laughter as Inuyasha looked, blatantly, shocked.
"Excuse me?" He said, pushing himself off the doorframe, "what right do you have to call me a rich snob? You, my dear, do not even know who I am."
"Rich business man with a porn star girlfriend," Kagome rolled her eyes, "need be said more?"
Kouga hooted as he walked over to Kagome. "This," he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "is my girl. I taught you well!"
Kagome laughed. "Growing up with you, wolf man, can teach a girl one thing or another."
Ayame grinned as Kagome waved them all over.
"Since they want to do stuff," Kagome emphasized stuff, "alone in his summerhouse, I propose we either head over to my summerhouse, which is small and I have no idea where it is so we have to randomly drive around Hong Kong, or we can all bunk at the Lin household, what you say?"
"Aw man," Sango sighed, "I wanted to get away from our house for a month. Staying there, I have to look at Miroku's doctoring books and my law books everyday on that ugly bookshelf." She turned to her husband. "Speaking of which, we have to replace it."
"Talk about bookshelves later." Ayame was annoyed. "Four hours in a car to get here, Ai and Hikari are pretty disappointed."
Kagome sighed sadly. "Yeah I know. What can we do? Ai," she turned to her goddaughter, "Hikari- what do you guys wanna do?"
"Stay here." Ai said almost instantly and Hikari nodded, causing the adults to frown. Kikyo did not like where this was headed, she wanted alone time with Inuyasha, but by the way his facial expressions were working, she knew he was gonna let them stay.
"Can't," Miroku shook his head, "this is why I say, ask permission first. Got our butts in a pickle now."
Sango looked aghast. "What was that supposed to mean?!??! Butts in a pickle?"
Miroku leaned over and whispered in her ear: ass busted.
Sango snorted as she shoved her husband. "You are an idiot."
"Thank you!" He grinned cheekily as they were about to get into the cars when Inuyasha started walking their way. Kagome was helping Ai and Hikari buckle up in Kouga's car, because they wanted to ride in that car now. Kagome would go with Sango and Miroku in their car. Everybody was already buckled in and Kagome was heading back to Miroku's car when Inuyasha stopped her.
"I demand an apology." He said as she stared up at him, both of them behind Miroku's car. Kikyo paled, wondering why there was such a close proximity with her man and that teenager (she had no idea Kagome was 20…). Miroku and Sango didn't notice but Ayame and Kouga definitely did.
"Think he'll let us?" She whispered over to him as they looked out the rearview window.
"Probably- Kagome has a knack for making people do what she wants them to do."
"For what?" Kagome raised a brow as Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"For implying I am a rich snob. You, my dear, are a spoiled little brat and have no right to call people names. You are turning into another Ai."
Kagome laughed sarcastically. "Excuse me? I am her godmother, technically that means I am another Ai!"
Feisty, Inuyasha thought, I like that in a woman…
"Fine." Inuyasha stepped back. "Shall we have a bet?"
"Stakes?" Kagome never turned down a bet.
"By the end of the month if I find you more mature and you do not find me a snob, I'll give you anything you want."
"And if I lose?" Kagome raised a brow and Kikyo wanted to scream.
"You have to," Inuyasha smirked, "publicly humiliate yourself."
"Publicly…" Kagome frowned. "Define publicly."
"National television."
Kagome would've slapped him, if he didn't look so serous. "And why do you want to place this bet?" She raised a brow.
"Nobody shits with me," he said in a deadly whisper, "and gets away with it."
"All I did was call you a snob." Kagome tested.
Definitely feisty… definitely like. He thought, quite amused.
"And that I am not. You stay out of my way, we stay out of yours. House is big enough."
"I have no idea why you are going to let us stay but hey, if that means we don't have to drive four hours back home then so be it!"
Kagome slapped the trunk of Miroku's car, and Ai, Hikari, Kouga and Ayame were already out of their car.
"We stay!" She squealed and Ai jumped up in happiness, Hikari already laughing. Inuyasha grumbled as he turned around, ignoring the glare Kikyo gave him.
Why the fuck did I do that… he asked himself, why did I let her stay? Shit- what the fuck came over me. I wanted to spend time with Kikyo, not baby sit.
Thought, unbeknownst to himself, he was actually quite… glad, that Kagome was staying…
But why? He kept questioning… he would find out the answer as to why he let her stay before the month is out.
This is going to be hell, for one month…
