Taste Of Love

Day after Tomorrow
"Pick up!" Kouga hissed as Inuyasha glanced back at his phone uncertainly. The ring tone kept on singing its j-pop tune and, indirectly, it was getting annoying. Inuyasha looked at his fiancée who had no expression on her face, just annoyance.
"What are you waiting for?!" Kouga raised an eyebrow as Ayame glared over at her husband.
"He can't really pick up can he? They did break up!"
Sango frowned and Kagome sighed. "Just pick up! She won't hang up any time soon." Kagome insisted as Inuyasha, hesitantly, answered the phone and pressed it against his ear.
"Takahashi here." He said in the most stoic voice he could muster up after planning his wedding. It was a hard task, indeed, but it wasn't something Inuyasha couldn't do.
"Inu-kun!" Kikyo squeaked on the other side and Inuyasha had to hold the phone a hand away from his ear to prevent himself from turning deaf. Miroku and Kouga stifled their laughter as Kagome raised an eyebrow in amusement. Ayame and Sango had no comment, they were used to Kikyo's fake perkiness.
"What is it?" Inuyasha inquired in a dull voice while sending a wink over at his fiancée. Kagome rolled her eyes and turned to the other two girls, silently continuing on their planning while Inuyasha took care of Kikyo.
"What?" Inuyasha snarled. "Dammit Kikyo, did you think I was fucking joking when I said that we – are – through?!"
That caught Kagome's attention immediately as her head snapped in the direction of where Inuyasha seemed like he was going to explode in anger. His lips were pressed into a fine thin line as his eyes were furrowed close together. He seemed to be getting very ticked off at that moment and Kagome's bets were that he was mad at the little porno on the phone with him.
"What?!" Inuyasha's voice was rising. "No I was not fucking joking!"
"She thought he was joking?" Sango sounded amused and Ayame had to stifle her laughter. Kouga and Miroku and sustained in not laughing but their purple faces weren't helping out the women much either. Their comical faces during such a comical situation was too much for Ayame and she burst out laughing.
Inuyasha shot her a dangerous look as Ayame shut up instantly.
"Nobody is laughing." Inuyasha spoke tightly as Ayame clamped her hand over her mouth.
"Oops?" It was a muffled sound that escaped from the cracks between her fingers. Kagome's hands were clasped on her lap as her eyes were downcast. That didn't go by unnoticed by Inuyasha. Growling impatiently, he turned his attention back to the woman yapping on the other side of the phone.
"Are you done?" He raised an eyebrow, a subconscious movement.
Some more yapping before Inuyasha closed his eyes in frustration.
"Stop having high hopes," Inuyasha stated calmly, "and let me continue with what I'm doing."
Kagome assumed Kikyo asked what he was doing based on the dangerous look that flashed across his eyes.
"Not that it's any of your damn business but I'm planning my damn wedding."
Another pause.
"Yes with Kagome!"
Another pause.
"I told you," Inuyasha smirked, "we are over." And he hung up.
Everybody was quiet for a little while before Miroku, being the brave one, spoke up for the entire group. Hell, even Kagome was scare and she was the legal fiancée!
"So… what'd she want?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "Nothing really…"
"Intense conversation, for nothing." Kouga smirked as Inuyasha threw a dangerous glare over at the friend. Kagome remained quiet and Inuyasha noticed right away. Hell, he wasn't engaged to this woman for nothing.
"So let's get on with…" Inuyasha began speaking but was immediately cut off by Kagome.
"You told her you're getting married to me."
Inuyasha frowned. "Yeah, so?"
Kagome looked up at him with fear-stricken eyes. "You told Naraku and my father that you're married to me… Inuyasha if word leaks…"
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Then we'd be scandalized for fraud."
Miroku rolled his eyes. "Smooth move Takahashi."
"Fuck it Lin." Inuyasha scowled, glaring directly at the doctor. The situation was becoming more complicated than Inuyasha had originally assumed it to be. His mouth had run off and he told Kikyo that he and Kagome were getting married. On the flipside, he had told Akira and Naraku that he and Kagome were already married (and he had produced fake papers to go with it).
Kouga sighed. "This shit is messed up…"
"DADDY!!!" Hikari's voice tore through the mansion as she pushed open the door to the game room that the six adults were in. Kouga stood up as his daughter launched herself into his arms, shoving her face into the crook of his neck.
Sheepishly, Ai walked into the room, her small pig-tails bobbing with every step she took. Miroku inwardly cursed as he stood up and walked towards his daughter in three large strides. Ai looked up cutely as Miroku lifted his daughter into his arms. Instantly, Ai wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hi Daddy!!" Ai smiled as Miroku frowned, glancing over at a weeping Hikari.
"What did you do to her?" Miroku asked sternly as Ai eeped. Kouga sighed and headed for the door, ushering Miroku, with his eyes, to follow him. Ayame and Sango stood up, both of them wanting to know what happened between their daughters.
That left Inuyasha and Kagome…
Alone…
In a room…
Together…
Inuyasha stood up and walked towards his fiancée, sitting down beside her. On impulse, Kagome's head leaned up against Inuyasha's shoulder as his hand automatically went around hers. He hugged her close to him.
"I hate this," She murmured to herself. Inuyasha frowned as he watched the top of Kagome's head.
"Hate what?" He just had to ask…
Kagome glanced up at him, looking at him through her lashes. "Do you really want to know?"
Inuyasha could only nod.
Kagome took in a deep breath before leaning her head against his shoulder once more. Her eyes closed as she felt him draw slow circles on the blade of her shoulder. Her inner pain started pouring out almost immediately.
"First of all… I'm trapped in this marriage thing." She whispered. "I always wanted my marriage to be something sweet and romantic—not something like this. I mean getting married to a man who slept with me, having to marry him to keep a gang rapist away from me and my unborn child wasn't on my list of childhood dreams." Kagome began, her sentences flowing out. Inuyasha felt the pain behind her words and couldn't help but feel that it was his fault why this woman was in so much pain.
"And then there's the fact my dad wants me to marry Naraku and he hates you to the point of insanity." Kagome shuddered slightly before looking Inuyasha in the eye, a small smile playing on her lips. "But still, it seems so perfect in all of its imperfectness."
"Why does your father hate me?" Inuyasha murmured as Kagome sighed.
"Something about that movie you pulled your funds from," Kagome murmured, "remember my father asked you for a huge loan for a movie? You pulled that last second and my father's highest budget film went down the drain. To pay everybody back, he had to dip into our personal funds… and then you had to go open your big mouth on national television saying that my father was the worst director and screenplay writer in the history of the film industry."
Inuyasha started laughing as Kagome completed her story. He remembered that. Akira Higurashi had brought a proposal for a movie titled Sanctity of the Hunters. The title seemed intriguing enough so Inuyasha put in a few million USD to fund the movie without reading the manuscript. Four months in, however, Miroku and Kouga got their hands on the manuscripts and they both claimed it sucked. Inuyasha wanted second and third opinions so he asked Ayame and Sango as well as Kikyo (who he was dating at the time) to read through the script and they hated it as well.
Taking things into his own hands, Inuyasha read through the play by play and figured the movie sucked in all its totality. So he pulled his funding and on national television he referenced as to why he pulled his funding.
"Your dad hates me for that?!" Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh. Kagome punched his shoulder playfully.
"It was bad okay!" Kagome mumbled. "I had to go to a public school for a few months while they got enough money to get me back into private school. I think it was one of those times where my parents were glad that I had Miko's identity a secret."
Inuyasha cringed. "That bad huh?"
Kagome nodded. "You wouldn't believe it. He hated you ever since…"
"Big blow to the ego, now that his only daughter is married to me," Inuyasha grinned playfully as Kagome rolled her eyes in utter sarcasm.
"You find the funny amusement in everything, don't you?" Kagome smirked. "What happened to the stoic I don't care about anything besides me and Kikyo and money Inuyasha that I met oh so long ago?"
Inuyasha drew out a husky fine grin as he brought his face incredibly close to Kagome's. Instantly, her breath caught in her throat as Kagome peered at Inuyasha from behind her lashes.
"You wanna know what happened?" He blew in her face, his voice barley above a whisper. Kagome heard him perfectly clear though as her eyes widened, her arousal spiking.
She nodded slowly as Inuyasha's lips brushed against the tip of her nose. "The I don't care about anything besides me and Kikyo and money Inuyasha that you met so long ago…" His lips slowly dragged against Kagome's soft cheeks and her eyes followed him with every movement he made, her hands fisting on the sides of the couch. This – felt – good… "Met you…"
Kagome's eyes widened instantly as Inuyasha's lips pressed softly against her left earlobe. She couldn't believe her ears…
He just—did he… Words were incoherent in Kagome's mind as she felt Inuyasha's lip trail over her body as his left hand caressed her arm. Common sense and the ability to comprehend from right and ring fled Kagome's thinking line as she succumbed to her fiancé's ministrations. Her chin tilted up as Inuyasha's lips sought refuge on hers.
The kiss was intoxicating as well as invigorating. A wave of fresh butterflies erupted in Kagome's stomach and she knew it wasn't just the baby. He made her felt compete and fresh when no other man could've… though having no other affairs with other men could bias her, Kagome was sure that nobody else could make her feel such a way.
Inuyasha's hand snaked around Kagome's neck and pressed her closer to him, trying to feel her as much as possible without taking off their clothes. Sex during pregnancy could prove to be a fatal thing, even if the expecting mother was practically a month in.
"Told you they couldn't keep their lips off each other." Kouga's voice broke the trance Kagome and Inuyasha were in and she flung off him, like he poisoned her.
"Why is it you always fucking walk in when it gets good?" Inuyasha snarled as he leaned on to the sofa, Kagome cuddling up against his side. Inuyasha's arm wrapped around her shoulder and he, too, snuggled right into her.
"Internal radar man," Kouga smirked, "I'm built for these things. I walked in on Miroku taking off Sango's shirt once."
Sango punched Kouga's arm and he burst into laughter, sitting on the chair that Inuyasha was in a few moments ago.
"What happened?" Kagome spoke up, "With Ai and Hikari I mean."
Sango rolled her eyes. "Little girls fighting over on what to make their little Barbie doll. Ai wanted a flight attendant and Hikari wanted a model and Ai punched Hikari in the back."
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Just like how you punched Kouga on the arm?"
"Like mother like daughter," Kagome teased as Ayame started giggling wildly. Miroku snickered and rolled his eyes as Kouga grinned in superiority at Sango.
"Shut up," She mumbled, "Can we get on with it?"
Deciding that fun time was over, the group of six settled down and began discussing what they were a few moments ago.
"So we're screwed because of Inuyasha's big mouth," Miroku started, "Naraku and Akira know that Kagome and Inuyasha are married and Kikyo has the notion that they are getting married."
"That's not it," Kagome shot a nasty glare towards Inuyasha, "asshole told some reception desk lady at Japan and his editor lady that we are married."
"Smooth move." Kouga snorted as Kagome nodded in agreement.
Inuyasha held his free hand up in defense, since his other hand was nicely around Kagome's shoulder.
"It's not my fault I take pride in my wife!!"
"Put a sock in it, Casanova."
Inuyasha laughed heartily as Kagome muttered some nasty swearwords underneath her breath. He poked her rib, causing her to jump slightly.
"Don't get stingy, Mademoiselle." Inuyasha cooed as Kagome shot a glare at him through the corner of her eyes.
"Cut the sexual actions," Ayame spoke up, "and get down to the business. When is the wedding, now that we have such stupid roadblocks? If Kikyo spreads word that you two are getting married and it reaches Naraku or Akira, then it's possible that Akira can sue Inuyasha for fraud."
"But we have the certificates." Inuyasha shot back.
"Forensics can prove it's fake," Sango murmured, "marriage certificates are made on special paper and I found a duplicate. It's not on the same material certificates are printed on."
"Great!" Inuyasha snarled. "My lawyer can't even fraud me properly!"
"Fuck you." Sango hissed as Miroku snickered. He loved it when his wife got mad. Made her seem sexy.
"I suggest you do a quick wedding," Kouga stated, "something small with a few relatives. Inuyasha, you invite your parents, Sesshomaru and Kagura and that's it. We don't want outsiders complicating things. The Lin's, Asuki's, Falcons, Ayumi and Daichi and we can come," Kouga kept on going, "you know, friends of the couple type of thing. Sango can do the legal work and yeah…"
"What about the minister," Kagome spoke up, "assuming we're doing the Japo-Christ wedding."
Ayame started to speak. "My uh—cousin's husband, Renkotsu, has a marriage license certificate thing. If you want, we can get him to do the ceremony. Renkotsu won't say a word. And you can get his six other brothers to be security. They all are so deadly—especially Ginkotsu."
Kouga snickered. "Just don't bring Jakotsu."
"The gay one?!" Sango burst out as Ayame blushed.
"Shut up, Jakotsu isn't gay… he's just isn't sure about his sexuality."
"Right," Miroku rolled his eyes.
"Back on topic!!" Inuyasha called out. "So we have our guests, the minister, we'll do the wedding on my private beach since you girls want it so bad. Ayame, Sango, take Kagome dress shopping tomorrow and pay as much as you need for speedy service, charge my platinum if you have to. I'll go get a tuxedo tomorrow, Kouga and Miroku, you two can work on getting special services to film the ceremony. Nothing to abstract, if you two can pull it off professionally then so be it. I'll put Yuka, Eri and Ayumi in charge of getting the beach set up and… the ceremony will take place the day after tomorrow."
Kagome's gaze shot towards her fiancé.
"Day after WHAT?!"
Inuyasha smirked sexily down at her. "Day after tomorrow, Mademoiselle…"
