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.

Age Brackets: Kagome – 20, Sango – 22, Miroku – 25, Inuyasha – 26

The End, of the Beginning
Inuyasha smirked sexily down at her. "Day after tomorrow, Mademoiselle…"
Kagome stared blankly at her fiancé as Sango hailed the first reaction. "DAY AFTER TOMORROW?!" She shrieked. "Are you insane?! Did Izayoi drop you on your head when you were a baby?!" Sango stood up, her face contoured into a gnarly scowl.
"How do we pull offTAKAHASHI Inuyasha's wedding, in TWO nights?!"
Inuyasha shrugged. "It's possible." He responded as Kagome frowned, pulling away from him.
"Couldn't we have a nicely planned wedding and have it next summer or something?" Kagome inquired, raising an eyebrow, "Why the rush?"
"We're getting caught up in our little lie." Inuyasha stated. "The longer we prolong this thing, the harder it's gonna be. Might as well turnall of our lies into truths and get it over with."
"I guess sucking face with Kagome killed your brain cells." Kouga snickered. "You could have just said you two eloped and didn't want to publicly announce your wedding just yet."
Ayame shook her head. "That screws us up even more. Inuyasha was with Kikyo until Kagome went back to Japan. He told Akira that he married Kagome since the summer… eloping won't work because Kikyo was Inuyasha's girl till recently."
Everybody seemed to clue into Ayame's logic. Ayame shrugged. "Besides, we have no actual proof besides forged wedding papers that these two actually got married. Might as well make the wedding as soon as possible and, as Inuyasha said; turn all his lies into truths."
Inuyasha nodded to Ayame. "THANK you! I can see you are the brains in your marriage."
Ayame gave a gallant bow as Kouga snarled, glaring at his friend, the big bad business man. Rolling his eyes, Inuyasha turned to Miroku. "Agree with the plan?"
Miroku nodded. "Yeah, besides with your kind of money, you could've pulled off the wedding by tonight."
"Then we're safe?" Inuyasha looked around at the faces of the people around him. Kagome seemed unsure and Sango looked downright mad but other than that, Ayame, Miroku and Kouga accepted the marriage be held in two days.
"Shouldn't the bride agree?" Sango wailed. "I mean it is her wedding!"
Kagome shrugged. "Whatever seems fit—it's not like I have anybody to object to my rather rushed marriage."
Inuyasha squeezed Kagome's hand as she smiled a rather fake smile. Kouga, Ayame, Miroku and Sango all saw through it but they decided not to point it out. It was, after all, a rather tough time that Kagome was going through. Nodding, Ayame stood up.
"Well we should get going—I have to call up Ayumi to start planning your wedding."
Grinning, Sango, too, stood up. "Yeah, I have to book dress fittings for tomorrow evening."
Miroku and Kouga got up as their wives bid Kagome and Inuyasha farewell. Ayame and Sango went to retrieve their daughters as Kouga clapped Inuyasha on the back.
"Smooth man," He rolled his eyes as Kagome kicked his shin.
"Don't be all sarcastic with my man, Lang." She teased as Inuyasha whooped in laughter. Kouga only chuckled as he hugged Kagome before leaving the room. Miroku stared at his two friends for quite some time before exerting a deep breath of air.
"You know something," he murmured as Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
Miroku smiled. "I always wanted you two to find somebody perfect for the other and I guess I got what I wished for—I know you two will make the other happy… for as long as this marriage lasts that is."
Inuyasha smiled warmly. "Thanks man- oh, I got a question for you doc, before you leave."
Miroku nodded as Kagome raised an eyebrow at her fiancée.
Inuyasha cleared his throat. "Is ah—sex during pregnancy a good thing?"
Kagome's eyes widened as Miroku got that look in his eyes once again. "Why do you ask dear Inuyasha…?"
Inuyasha growled as he stood up. "Is it?"
Miroku snickered. "Yeah- it's recommended that you do… why?"
"No reason, now leave before Sango rips your balls off."
Miroku laughed as he shook hands with Inuyasha before leaving the room. Instantly, Kagome stood up and sucker punched Inuyasha's arm. "What was that for?!" She wailed as he raised an eyebrow in amusement.
His pregnant fiancée was yelling at him for asking their best friend if sex during pregnancy was fine… what a joke!
"What was what for?" Inuyasha toyed as Kagome frowned, crossing her arms.
"That was an uncalled question…"
Inuyasha laughed as he moved to hug Kagome but she wiggled out of his hold, her back still facing him. "That was unfair Inuyasha." Kagome mumbled as Inuyasha sighed, going back to hold her. Once again, Kagome moved out of his hold.
"Leave me…" Kagome ordered as she left the room, in a dramatic attempt to walk away from her horny fiancé. Inuyasha merely ran his fingers through his hair, laughing at the helplessness of his fiancée.

Damn Casanova, Kagome thought maliciously to herself as she, aimlessly, walked around his mansion. She knew she was lost but she didn't care too much. If worst came to worst Inuyasha would send a search party throughout his castle-like mansion to find her.
Until then she was mad at him for even asking such a crude question so a perverted doctor.
Stupid-stupid…STUPID Kagome cursed in her head as she took a random left in a random hallway. Frowning, she saw a large oak door with a golden knob glare at her rather ominously from the end of the hallway. It was the only door in the hallway.
Curiously, Kagome went towards the door and placed her hand on the doorknob. She practically saw all the rooms in the mansion including Inuyasha's workout room and she hadn't remembered a hallway that looked like this one before.
Taking in a deep breath of air, Kagome pushed the door open to reveal four walls filled with posters…
Posters of models… of Kagome's friends…
But what caught Kagome's eyes the most was the fact that three out of the four walls was dedicated to Miko…
To her…

"Marika," Inuyasha lazily called as he left his game room to find his personal maid rush towards him.
"Yes, sir?" She responded as she stood in front of him, a duster in one hand.
"Where did Kagome go?"
"I saw her heading towards the Posters room…"
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "She knows where she's going?"
Marika giggled. "No, sir… she looked pretty lost… I was going to go help her but the kitchens had a problem…"
Inuyasha smirked. "Its fine, I'll go find her."
-x-
Kagome walked into the room to find posters of her staring at her, left, right and center. Her eyes were widened in surprise, as she walked towards the farthest wall, where a collection of her black and white pictures were hung in a flawless pattern. Never had she seen such an obsession with her…
"I see you found our posters room…" Inuyasha's voice floated from behind Kagome. Glancing over her shoulder, Kagome acknowledged her fiancé standing there before turning back towards the posters.
"Obsession in me much, Casanova?" Kagome murmured as Inuyasha chuckled, walking towards his fiancée. He wrapped his arms around her waist and instead of fighting back, Kagome relaxed in his hold.
"It's my layout designer," He whispered against her ear, "she loves you and always wanted to call you for a photo shoot—but your agent always said you're busy. Sucks huh? Perhaps we could've met sooner…"
Kagome laughed as her fingers laced with his. "Will I meet this layout designer any time soon?"
"Jessica?" Inuyasha frowned. "Perhaps… if she promises not to hyperventilate and tackle you and our baby to death."
Kagome giggled as she leaned back into Inuyasha. His breathing was even against her neck and Kagome couldn't help but shudder against his chest.
"So what was up with that question to Miroku?"
Inuyasha snickered. "Just curious—if you're ever in the mood to have some non-drunk sex."
Kagome merely rolled her eyes as she turned in Inuyasha's arms, her hands gripping the front of his shirt.
"In two days we get married."
He stroked her hair admirably. "Yes, mademoiselle, in two days we get married."
Kagome smiled as she slowly rose to her toes, squaring her chin in Inuyasha's direction. And that was all the invitation he needed.
He captured her lips in a searing kiss.
And all around them were faces of Miko, watching them seal their love with a simpletaste.

"No!!" Kagome wailed as she stood in the tailor's room the next day, getting her dress fitted. "It's too skimpy and inelegant for a Takahashi wedding!"
Ayame tapped her chin as Yuka tilted her head. "She's right Sango," Yuka nodded, "total inelegance. I mean… if one crouched enough we'd be able to see Kagome's butterfly thongs."
"Shut-UP!!" Kagome wailed as she turned back to the elderly tailor, who seemed to be frightened of Kagome's temper.
Ayumi snickered as she covered the receiver of her cell phone. "It's the pregnancy hormone." She teased as she turned her attention back to who she was talking to. While Kagome got her dress fixed and fitted, Ayumi was calling the catering company and reconfirming with Inuyasha about the location of his private beach.
"How about something just off the shoulder and curvy?" Kagome inquired. "Not too tight but not plus size loose either. Something perfect…"
"I mean her husband is the Takahashi Inuyasha," Ayame put in as Eri nodded in vigor, "if you pull off Mrs. Takahashi's wedding dress perfectly, you might get extra business."
The tailor seemed to take all that in and busied herself to find the perfect dress for Kagome. Sighing, she jumped off the platform and sat down beside Ayumi, who was still on the phone discussing the menu.
"Is Inuyasha getting his tux fixed with the guys?" Sango inquired as Kagome nodded.
"Yeah, and Hojo and Daichi are in charge of decorating the beach."
Kagome frowned. "Do I trust those two with the decoration of my wedding?"
"No," Ayumi called, "but Daichi knows if he screws it over he has me to answer to."
"And me," Sango nodded and Ayame snickered.
"And me and everybody else who wants this wedding to be perfect."
The tailor returned with a neatly packaged dress in her hands. "Madam," She called, "try this on."
Smiling, Kagome got up and thanked the tailor before disappearing behind a curtain.

"Let's break tradition and get him a red tuxedo." Miroku grinned. Sesshomaru, who was notified of his brother's arrangement, made it to the tuxedo shop to help Inuyasha buy a new set.
"Red? I oughta hit you." Sesshomaru muttered as he stood up.
"Black, with a tie."
"That's so typical!" Miroku wailed and Kouga hit him upside the head.
"During Ai's wedding, you wear a red tuxedo; Inuyasha gets to choose his preference on his wedding day."
Shaking his head, Inuyasha eyed the large rack of tuxedo's, some with pinstripes, others pure black while some tuxedo's hailed a dusty shade of black. Turning to his brother, Inuyasha merely nodded before Sesshomaru disappeared into a sea of tuxedos.
"Red," Hayabusa snorted, "what a hippie."
Miroku rolled his eyes. "Break tradition man! If Inuyasha does it, the rest of the world will have a rainbow coloured wedding!"
"Like Kouga said, do it at Ai's wedding." Inuyasha shot as Sesshomaru walked back with a finely trimmed suit.
"Try this on," Sesshomaru thrust the tuxedo into Inuyasha's arms and the young business man nodded, disappearing behind a curtain.

Kagome slumped into the mansion that night and found her fiancé sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of something. Upon seeing Kagome enter the house, Inuyasha put his cup down and got up to physically greet her.
"How was your day Mademoiselle?" Inuyasha whispered as his placed his hands on her shoulders, guiding her over to the sofa.
"Hell…" Kagome sighed as she sat down on Inuyasha's lap, digging her head into his neck, "I can't wait till it's all over."
Inuyasha merely smiled, stroking her hair. "Tomorrow Miko," He whispered against her cheek, "we're getting married… tomorrow…"

Okay not the BEST chapter but it was one of those inspriationless fillers that are needed to advance the plot (sigh) welp, they get married next chapter and the second major climax is well approaching XD
