A.N. I hope you liked the last chapter. This one goes out to Nobodies Perfect-Not Even You for a great idea on this new one.

Last Time

"Let me go!" she squealed, before being silenced. He bit her neck, "GET OFF ME NOW!"

"No," Sesshoumaru said, before feeling a sharp agonizing pain in his… happy parts.

Now

"OPEN UP, IT'S THE POLICE," came a yell outside the door.

"What the hell," Kagome said before the door slammed open.

"Are you Ms. Higurashi," the first officer asked, walking swiftly into the house. His men immediately pounced on Sesshoumaru when they saw him pinning a frightened Kagome to the wall.

"Yes," Kagome said slowly, "what's this about."

"We got a call about a rape in progress," the officer asked, "we're going to have to take him downtown."

Kagome was stunned, and surprisingly Sesshoumaru didn't try to resist.

"Officer," she said, walking after the guy, "it wasn't rape. He's my fiancé, we were just playing around."

"Even so," the officer said, "a call like that cannot be taken lightly. We have no choice but to take him down town."

Kagome said to herself as she put on some shoes and was about to leave her apartment,

"Kagome where are you going?" Sango asked just as Kagome walked out the door.

"Um…" Kagome said, "well while you left me alone. Some neighbors called the police, they heard me and Sesshoumaru… dispute. And he got arrested for raping me. I've got to go tell his father and get him out."

Sango nodded, not really understanding because Kagome was talking so fast. She figured everything was alright and went inside to get ready for bed.

at InuYasha's

"Kagome what are you doing here?" Mr. Takahashi asked her when he answered the door.

"Um…" Kagome started, "well you see… Sesshoumaru's been arrested."

"What do you mean he's been arrested?" the man asked.

"Well that part is easy to explain," InuYasha said walking up to his friend and father, "you see when the police come and burst open a door. Normally they put these metal cuffs on your hands that bind them…"

"I know that," Mr. Takahashi said angrily, "what I don't understand is why."

"Well we were… having a slight argument," Kagome started, "and I guess it got too loud because a neighbor called the police and told them I was being… raped."

The man just looked at her for a minute. Why would they think she was being raped?

"Why were you two fighting?" he asked, not wanting anything to go wrong with the engagement.

"I… well…" Kagome started but InuYasha interrupted her.

"He was mad at me," he said, "he got mad that I fell asleep on Kagome's bed with her. It was a accident, nothing happened."

"Nothing better have happened," his father said.

"It didn't," Kagome said angrily, "now follow me to the police station. They won't let me collect him because we are not married or blood related."

"I'll go get him," the older man said, "you two stay here. We'll be back soon enough."

Kagome nodded, feeling almost guilty.

"So why do the neighbors think Ice Pick was raping you?" InuYasha asked with a grin.

"We were arguing over what he did to you, and apparently I turn him on when I get mad because he pushed me into a wall and I guess the neighbors heard me yelling at him to get off me because the next thing I knew the cops were bursting into my apartment," Kagome explained.

InuYasha just nodded, a little surprised at what he had just heard. As much as he hated his brother, he knew Sesshoumaru wasn't normally the type to let his beast get the better of him.

"Oh so I found some of those old picture books," InuYasha said, changing the subject.

"Really?" Kagome asked with a smile, "where are they. I wanna look at them."

"C'mon," he said with a grin, "they're upstairs, but I'll bring them down here. Go into the living room."

Kagome nodded, and went to go sit down on the couch to wait for her friend.

"Sesshoumaru if she said to leave her you should have," Kagome heard Mr. Takahashi scolding his son, "now you have to go to a court hearing for this kind of thing."

"I do not understand why," Sesshoumaru's bored voice filtered into the room, "she told the officers she wasn't pressing charges."

"Well you need to speak with Kagome," his father said, "we cannot have this marriage go wrong."

"Does anyone care if I'm still here?" Kagome spoke up, "and I will not speak to him. I might not press charges, but that doesn't mean I'm going to speak with him. Tell InuYasha to bring the books to my place tomorrow. Good bye."

The Next Day

Kagome woke up the following morning more excited than she'd ever been. She was in her own apartment, sure she lived with a friend, but it was hers.

"I don't have to deal with my mother anymore," she said to herself with a smile as she snuggled deeper into her bed, "but I still have to go to the shrine today."

"Kagome," she heard Sango call from the hall way, "get up."

"Why?" Kagome yelled back, "I don't have to be at the shrine until 10:00 this morning. It's only 7:00 what do you want me up so early for?"

"Because I'm making our first meal in OUR OWN APARTMENT!" Sango squealed as she burst into Kagome's room and jumping on her bed.

Kagome giggled, but joined Sango in a childish game of jumping on the bed before following her into the kitchen for some breakfast. Kagome was surprised to see the amount of food the girl was pulling out of the refrigerator along with the cabinet.

"Sango where did all this food come from?" Kagome asked as she watched her friend pull out some rice from a canister to put in the rice cooker.

"I went shopping yesterday," she replied simply, "around the time that Sesshoumaru was getting arrested."

Kagome couldn't help but laugh, even though she wasn't pressing charges on Sesshoumaru for the alleged rape, his father had been calling her all night trying to apologize for what happened. Although he wouldn't tell her, Kagome was more than positive it was so she would forgive Sesshoumaru and the preparations for the wedding could begin.

"Damn it," Kagome said as her cell phone went off, "I bet it's Mr. Takahashi again. Calling at the ass crack of the morning to apologize again."

Sango laughed as Kagome went into her bedroom to retrieve the menacing device.

"Hello," she said.

the person on the other line said.a.n. I don't have a name for her, someone help me and then I'll change it.)

"Oh," Kagome said, "hello Mrs. Takahashi. How are you?"

the woman said,

"I don't know," Kagome said unsure, "I have to work today with my grandfather. My cousin is taking my place as the shrine maiden, but because of that I have to do bow and arrow demonstrations for the shrine guests."

Mrs. Takahashi said,

'great,' Kagome thought to herself, 'now I've got to go wedding dress shopping. Maybe I should make up with Sesshoumaru to get more ideas on this cursed wedding.'

"I really don't know," Kagome said, "I'm busy all weekend with the shrine. And then I'm supposed to spend more time with Kikyo, because apparently being her family isn't enough…"

The older woman laughed into the phone,

"Don't worry," Kagome said, "he's already forgiven."

Mrs. Takahashi said,

"Bye," Kagome said, snapping her phone shut and walking back in the kitchen, but just as she did, she had a revelation of sorts.

"Does any one have any questions?" Kagome asked the group, "or does anyone want to give it a try?"

She had been working all day; giving briefings on how to use a bow and arrow, how they were used in combat by priestesses in the Feudal Era, and demonstrating how to use it. Every once in a while, someone would try and normally nobody would hit the target head on. But some were lucky enough to get pretty close to the bulls eye.

"I wanna try," came a small voice.

"Okay," Kagome said, looking for the person behind the voice, until a little boy with orange hair and green eyes pushed his way to the front.

Kagome thought to herself, before finding a bow small enough for him to use.

"What's your name?" she asked the boy.

"Shippo," the boy said quietly.

"Are you sure you wanna try?" Kagome asked him.

"Yeah," he said with a smile, "I can do it."

Kagome grinned, and helped the small boy get the bow into position and helped work it.

"Great job," Kagome said as he hit the target, just one ring away from the center.

"Thank you," the little boy said, "KOUGA DID YOU SEE THAT!"

Kagome turned around, surprised at what she heard.

"Yup squirt," she heard him say, "great job. Hey Kagome."

"Hey Kouga," she said, as the other visitors started to leave, "oh and you all remember. There is a new legend being read at 5:00 if you go now, you can see the beautiful Priestess Kikyo up close with excellent seats."

Many of the people obliged Kagome and went to hear the legend, but Kouga stayed where he was, being tugged by the small boy.

"C'mon Kouga," Shippo said, tugging his arm, "I wanna go hear the story."

"In a minute squirt," the older boy said, "this is Kagome she's almost family."

"Not exactly," Kagome said, "Sesshoumaru and I aren't speaking. Well I think he's going to break up with me."

"Do I get my chance?" Kouga asked, hope glistening in his eyes.

"Maybe," Kagome said with a smile and a wink. She liked Kouga, just not the way he liked her. She didn't want to lead him on, but if he was a good way of getting Sesshoumaru to drop her, then she would do what was needed.

"Kagome," Kouga said, taking her hand, "remember. My cousin doesn't deserve you, just let him go. I'm more than enough man, or demon, than you could ever get."

Kagome giggled, "I'll remember that."

The boy smiled at her, before grabbing Shippo and taking him to hear the legend.

Later That Night

"Sango I'm back," Kagome called, walking towards her friends room. She saw that it was opened a crack so she pushed it open a little more but when she did, she saw Sango pinned to a bed, with Miroku doing the pinning.

"OH MY GOD! I AM SO SORRY!" Kagome cried, shutting the door, but not before she could hear her friend laughing.

Walking back into the living room, Kagome could hear someone knocking on the door, when she answered it, she shut it instantly.

"Kagome," he called innocently through the door, "open up. Please."

"Go away," she yelled, sitting on the floor against the door, "I'm not really speaking to you right now."

"Don't be rude," he said, "just open the door. I have a gift for you."

"Yeah right," Kagome said, "if you do. Put it by the window for me to see."

"Fine," he sighed, "look out the window."

Kagome did as told, and when she did she saw a huge teddy bear holding a box of chocolates sitting in front of the window.

How does he know my weakness for bears? Screw the bear, how did he find out about the chocolates? Only Naraku knows about that little weakness. He wouldn't. He better not have.

"Okay," she said, opening the door, "I'll let you in. Just for a minute."

"Thank you," he replied, walking in, but the look in his eye scared her.

"Sesshoumaru?" she asked questioningly, "what's up with the expression?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, sitting on the couch, propping the bear up next to him, "I'm apologizing to you. Do you not like it?"

"No it's great," Kagome said, "but your eyes."

"I assure you," he said, "it's nothing. But I do have a proposition for you."

"About?"

"Our engagement," he said with a smirk.

A.N. I guess this chapter is alright. I hope you reply. I've got a idea for what else is coming up, it'll just be a while before I post anything again.
