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.

Okay, Now What?
"I'm here to take my wife back to Hong Kong."
Akira's eyes widened as heart beat increased. Fisting his left hand, Akira took two steps closer to his daughter and her—husband.
"Lies." Akira snarled. "You aren't married to Kagome! I saw you when we went to get Kagome last week… if you were really married to her you would've stopped us then!"
"I was shocked." Inuyasha continued, his voice matching Akira's tone. Naraku, Hiroshi, Setsuna, Korari, Souta and Kagome all watched their eyes wide. Kagome was especially shocked. Since when did she get married?!
"Shocked?" Akira raised a brow, clearly not believing Inuyasha. Inuyasha merely smirked as he crossed his arms out in front of him. He looked dangerous, no doubt about that. The look on his face screamed death and if looks could kill, Akira and his forefathers would be burning in hell just about then.
"Yeah. When Kagome and I got married she hadn't said anything about being Miko. When you, uninvited might I add, barged into my summerhouse, you claimed that Kagome was Miko. My reason was shock." Inuyasha had practiced that line on the plane since it took off to the minute the plane landed. He hoped it sounded realistic enough.
Akira didn't seem amused. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and saw him literally seething. Then she glanced at Naraku who seemed in obvious shock. Lastly, Kagome idly looked at her little brother who seemed to be smiling in appreciation at Inuyasha. Perhaps this wasn't the best way to get her to not marry Naraku but evidently it was her only option. Kagome was the one who had to pick now. Marry Naraku and prove Inuyasha to be a liar, ultimately fueling her father's hatred for the business tycoon or go along with what Inuyasha was doing. He obviously wouldn't have come without a plan. If Kagome went along with what Inuyasha was saying, maybe she could go to a safe place, for both herself and her baby, and discuss everything with Inuyasha, trying to settle everything in a calm manner?
It was her best option right about then. Feeling a small diamond ring on her middle finger, Kagome subtly took it off and slipped it onto her ring finger before placing a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. She made sure her wedding finger was in clear view.
"I didn't think you would come." Kagome whispered, but loud enough for everybody to hear. Inuyasha was shocked as he heard Kagome speak but inwardly jumped for joy. Turning around, he smiled at her as he cupped her face with one hand.
"The initial anger subsided and I just had to come get you." Bringing his face down, he nuzzled her cheek with his nose. "You know I love you."
Kagome smiled as she subtly winked at her brother. "I love you too Inuyasha."
"Get your damn face up and away from my daughter!" Akira roared as he walked directly up to Kagome and Inuyasha. "She, in no way, told me she was married to you so I had no knowledge. You will annul this wedding so my daughter can marry Naraku!" Naraku gripped Inuyasha's arm to yank him away from Kagome. Growling, Inuyasha whirled around and shoved Akira so hard he tumbled back onto the sofa.
Korari gasped.
"Don't touch me." Inuyasha hissed. "My wife is not a possession. You cannot sell her off to that gang raping baboon. She's my wife. We were legally bounded together and I will be damned if you fucking make her marry Naraku."
"I didn't gang rape Lilly!" Naraku whined but Inuyasha shot him a dangerous look.
"It wasn't Lilly numbskull! Her name was Aiko! You don't even know your damn ex-wife's name!" Inuyasha spat out like liquid venom.
"Lilly, Aiko," Naraku rolled his eyes, "they're all the same."
"No they aren't!" Inuyasha fought as he took a step forward. "But perhaps to an asshole like you, they are all the same. How many girls did you gang rape? Seven? Eight?"
"I never gang raped anybody!" Naraku pressed, his eyes glistening in anger but Inuyasha gave a cold sarcastic laugh.
"You expect me to believe that?"
"My son-in-law would never gang rape anybody!" Akira roared as he flew his hand out in front of him. Inuyasha laughed a cold maniacal laugh.
"Son-in-law? Sir, by law I am your son-in-law."
Akira suddenly smirked as he stood up off the sofa, dusting off his shoulders. "You have no proof. You have no proof that you two are married. You could just be faking it for all I know."
Kagome's eyes widened in horror as Inuyasha drew out a wispy smirk. "I thought you might say that. Which is why I brought," Inuyasha reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper, "this baby along."
Passing it to Akira, Inuyasha felt he had won. No question about it. Opening the folded piece of paper, Inuyasha swore he saw Akira's heart stop beating.
All the proof he wanted and more.
"A… certificate?" Akira whispered as Kagome frowned. Nudging Inuyasha, Kagome glanced up at him as he raised an eyebrow down at her. Grabbing his collar, she pulled his ear close to her mouth.
"You are going to explain how we're married and just how did you get a marriage certificate when we aren't even remotely close to getting married?"
Inuyasha smirked as he kissed Kagome's cheek, making sure Naraku had clear view before standing up. "Kagome feels tired," wrapping an arm around her waist, he drew her close to his body, "so we're gonna rest some in her bedroom before we leave to our hotel. I am not letting my wife stay in a house where she is treated like a dog."
"I'll escort you." Souta stood up, grinning at his father before following his sister and brother-in-law upstairs.
Setsuna whirled to Akira. "Did you have the slightest idea that your daughter got married?"
Akira frowned as he glanced at Naraku, Hiroshi and Setsuna. "Something is fishy about this."
"Well this isn't our place to stay anymore." Hiroshi said strongly. "Your daughter is a married woman."
"That didn't stop your damn son from marrying a woman who was already married. Wasn't her name Lilly?" Akira snarled as he turned to the Onigumo family. Setsuna frowned.
"My son is a saint!"
Korari stood behind her husband as Akira released his anger on the Onigumo family.
"Saint? Everybody knows he gang raped Aiko! I was trying to keep it low in this damn family so Kagome wouldn't disagree to the marriage but now that she's married to that Takahashi, I guess I can say whatever the hell I want!" Definitely, Akira was pissed.
"Let's go." Setsuna commanded as her husband and son followed her out of the house. Korari whirled onto her husband.
"You had to confront them didn't you?" Korari screeched.
"Does it matter? Kagome is married to that damn business asshole!" Akira scowled as he faced his wife. Korari had a determined look on her face.
"Inuyasha is richer than Naraku. Perhaps this could help?"
"NO!" Akira blared. "I'll make sure those two don't get a satisfactory marriage. I hate that damned Takahashi."
Korari sighed as she moved to go to her bedroom. She had to make sense of all this. Leaving her husband in the living room, Korari silently walked up stairs, her thoughts on her daughter.

Sitting in Kagome's bedroom, Souta sat on the floor as Kagome sat on the bed, glaring at Inuyasha sitting beside her.
"What the hell was all this?" Kagome shot at Inuyasha, her eyes blazing with anger. So now she can finally release the demon scratching within her. Oh she was angry. Sure she played along to get rid of Naraku, but that really didn't mean she wasn't not angry.
She was fuming.
"To get you away from Naraku." Inuyasha shrugged as if it was the most common thing he could do in the world. Souta snorted in amusement.
"Gotta admit though, Nee-chan, his idea was flawless."
"Flawless?" Kagome screeched. "What if my signature on that damned certificate wasn't perfect?"
"Sango knows you well enough to forge your signature perfectly." Inuyasha informed as he traced patterns on Kagome's bed sheet. Kagome's eyes slightly widened.
"Sango was in on this too?"
Inuyasha nodded. "Miroku knew too but he said something about Gandhi and the Macarena and something about you not knowing… that bitch yelled at me for a hell of a long time."
Kagome smiled fondly. "Yeah- Miroku and Kouga are way too protective of me." Shaking her head, she turned her glare back at Inuyasha.
"Fine, we're married happily for quite some time and my retarded dad kidnapped me from right under your nose and you couldn't run after me because I'm Miko." Kagome winced. "Okay, now what?"
"Now?" Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "Now I take you back to Hong Kong and we act for a few months that we're happily married. You parents found out and so did Naraku's family so no doubt that the press and media will find out within the next two days. Eventually we can call for a divorce after you're sure that your parents won't sign your life off to Naraku."
"And why are you doing all this?" Kagome raised a brow as Souta found watching his sister and Inuyasha better than watching television.
"Because you're my Mademoiselle." Inuyasha smirked as Kagome rolled her eyes, groaning.
"Shut up, Casanova." She tacked in for old time's sake. Crossing her arms over her chest, she glared definitely at Inuyasha. "So I have to bloody pretend to be married to you for a few months or until the coast is clear for me to go around and fall in love?"
Inuyasha smirked. "Pretty much." I'll hide the fact that I know she's pregnant for now. Wait until she tells me.
Kagome sighed. "Why? Why am I caught up in all of this?"
"Because God loves you too much." Inuyasha muttered sarcastically. "Pack your things. We're gonna stay in a Hotel for three days before our return flight to Hong Kong. I left Sango in charge of getting my place ready for you to stay in."
"So I'm actually gonna be living with you?" Kagome asked in an incredulous tone.
"No shit." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "The Takahashi Inuyasha's wife living someplace else besides with him? Yeah that's gonna go pretty nicely with the people."
"Who cares about people!!" Kagome roared as Inuyasha snorted.
"Apparently Miko doesn't," Inuyasha muttered darkly, "but I do."
"Oh so now you're gonna burn me about Miko?" Kagome shrieked, practically inflamed. "I couldn't tell you because I couldn't! You were just a bloody random guy and I was staying in your summerhouse. I don't tell everybody about who I am okay!"
"After the uncountable times I spoke about hiring Miko for a few shots?" Inuyasha raised a brow and Kagome crossed her arms.
"You would've found out eventually when you called my agent."
"Right. Pack your things, we're leaving in an hour."
Kagome sighed as she glanced at her brother. "I ain't getting out of this right?"
Souta shook his head. "I think it's better Nee-chan. I mean if you stay here then Father and Mother might take severe action. You know? It could also harm you and your baby."
Kagome's eyes widened as she looked over at Inuyasha. He merely stood up and looked at Souta. "At least you understand kid. Help your sister pack while I tour your place. Honestly, compared to my house, this thing is like… tiny."
Inuyasha left Kagome's bedroom and she frowned, looking down at her little brother. "Did he hear you say I was pregnant or did he choose to ignore it?" Kagome inquired as Souta shrugged.
"Who cares? He'd find out eventually right? C'mon, let's pack…"
Kagome frowned but nodded as she and her brother packed her stuff.

Inuyasha walked down the stairs and took in the Higurashi home. It was quaint and comfortable, he would give the house that much. Clustered though. His house was more spacious. But what did he honestly expect? He was fifty times richer than the Higurashi's.
But wait. He was now married to one of them. How irony worked.
Inuyasha spotted Akira sitting on a sofa and smirked as he walked up to his father-in-law.
"Hey pops." Inuyasha smirked as he sat down beside Akira. Akira shot him an ugly glare.
"Don't call me pops."
"Alright, daddy-o." Inuyasha shrugged as Akira snarled.
"I'm Higurashi-san to you!"
"Ehh?" Inuyasha raised his brow. "But you are my wife's father making you, by extended family, my father. Legally you are my father-in-law."
"I will never be your damn father-in-law!" Akira hissed as Inuyasha snickered.
"Honestly pops," Inuyasha shrugged as he picked up a glass ball from the coffee table, "loosen up."
"Shut up Takahashi."
"Takahashi Inuyasha or," Inuyasha smirked rather evilly, "Takahashi Kagome?"
"My daughter is never going to be considered a Takahashi!" Akira bit out as Inuyasha shrugged, throwing the glass ball in the air.
"Oh I don't know. She is married to me…"
"Shut up!" Akira snarled as he stood up but instantly glanced towards the staircase.
"Casanova!" Kagome grinned as she raced down the steps. Inuyasha smiled as he stood up in time to catch his wife flying towards him. Kagome lunged at her husband and placed a kiss on his cheek before giggling. She pulled back and gestured towards her brother, lugging her stuff down the stairs.
"I'm ready."
"That was fast, Mademoiselle." Inuyasha mused as Kagome grinned.
"Yeah well, Souta helped me."
"More like I did everything bro." Souta snickered as Kagome shot him a dangerous glare. Souta had agreed to play the loving brother-in-law to Inuyasha while this little charade was happening. Since Souta was a child prodigy and acted already, playing his sister's innocent little brother would be simple.
"You are not leaving!" Akira roared as Souta came to the base of the stairs with his sisters stuff.
"Stop us." Inuyasha hissed as he snaked his arm around Kagome's waist and started leading her to the door. Akira frowned as he lunged forward and caught Kagome's arm, tugging her backwards.
Inuyasha's eyes widened as Kagome stumbled backwards, barley missing the glass coffee table. Her leg banged against the edge of the table as Akira kept on tugging at Kagome.
"Let her go!" Inuyasha snarled as he ran forward and freed Kagome from her father before pushing Akira to fall flat on his back.
The air knocked out of Akira's lunges.
"DADDY!" Kagome shrieked as she saw her father gasping for air. Inuyasha snorted.
"Leave him Kagome," Inuyasha murmured, "he has enough acting background to pull off an out of breath scene. Let's go. You need to rest."
Kagome nodded as she glanced at her father one more time before following her husband. Husband.
"Take care kiddo," Inuyasha ruffled Souta's hair before picking up Kagome's bag. Kagome smiled and kissed her brother's forehead before following Inuyasha towards his car.
Souta felt like laughing. This was such a movie scene!
-x-
Kagome and Inuyasha remained quiet as Inuyasha placed Kagome's bags in the back trunk. Kagome buckled up as Inuyasha expertly pulled out of the driveway and zoomed out of the Higurashi property. Remaining quiet for half of the journey, Kagome thought she was going to explode.
It was such an awkward silence.
"Alright then Takahashi." Kagome hissed. "We had sex one night, you're still dating Kikyo and here you are saving me from my rotten future by marrying me?"
Inuyasha merely smirked.
"You are going to explain yourself like no man has explained before."
He only laughed. "Looking forward to it, Mademoiselle."
