A.N. I want to dedicate this chapter to zoey tamagachi for her review on my previous chapter! I am super happy that there is still someone out there who was excited to see that I made a update! I, hopefully, will be able to finish this story before it hits 40 chapters, but to be honest I don't know if that is possible.

"Rin," Sesshoumaru said fairly loudly walking into his fathers house. "I have a surprise for you." The one simple phrase was enough to have the young girl racing down the stairs and into her fathers arms.

"WHAT IS IT!" she squealed, loving surprises Rin knew it would be a fantastic surprise.

"Tonight we are going out to dinner with a very special lady," he said quietly, sitting with the child in his lap.

"I don't want to meet another one of your girlfriends, Sesshoumaru!" Rin exclaimed. "They're all so ugly and mean. I miss Kagome!"

"I do not have any girlfriends, Rin." Sesshoumaru chided, knowing full well his daughter was sick of him introducing her to new women. "And, it is Kagome we are meeting with tonight."

"REALLY!" the child screamed. "Is she coming back to us! Is Kagome going to be my mother?"

"I do believe so," he responded quietly.

"Kagome?" Sango called, walking into their very messy and very noisy apartment. "Why are my clothes in the living room?"

"I am going to dinner tonight," her friend called from her room. "I am trying to find the right outfit."

"You have a date?" Sango questioned, staring at her friend who was currently raiding her closet.

"Of sorts," Kagome admitted. "I am meeting Sesshoumaru and his daughter Rin, well you remember Rin, for dinner tonight."

Sango nodded, staring at her friend. She was worried for the girl. She did not want things to go the way they had before, also, she did not want Kagome to get too attached to the child again just to pull herself away once more.

"You sure it's a good idea?"

"Why wouldn't it be?" Kagome asked, finally deciding on a simple black dress and red silk shoes.

"Because I don't want to see you back to where you were before," Sango said. "He tore you down with that InuYasha interrigation, and I don't want to see you go through that again."

Kagome smiled, she knew her friend was very concerned. Considering everything that had perspired in the last several months between her and Sesshoumaru, she herself didn't feel like getting hurt again. Although she couldn't stop it, she felt that something needed to be done between the two of them. "It's just dinner Sango, I will be okay."

"She is meeting Sesshoumaru Takahashi for dinner," the man explained. "They have reservations at some italian place and plan to discuss many things."

"Can you be sure?"

"Since receiving a position in her company, I have been privy to hearing riddiculous gossip concerning Ms. Higurashi and Takahashi. It would seem there is a running bet through all the departments on to when they will get back together."

The man smiled, he knew Kagome was ready to go back to Sesshoumaru. She liked to bring him up in their conversations whenever they met, 'Sesshoumaru messed this up at work' 'Sesshoumaru is trying to make me look bad in front of my staff' 'Sesshoumaru is taken a special interest in many of the people who show interest in me' SESSHOUMARU SESSHOUMARU SESSHOUMARU! He could not wait for the day that Kagome realized he was the one for her, when that day arrives, he will take down Sesshoumaru Takahashi and make sure he never bothers Kagome again.

"I want you to keep extra tabs on them," Naraku said with a smile. "Just until I can get Kagome back into realizing it is I she wishes to be with. It could take some time. Also, ensure that they do not reconcile their relationship. Not tonight. No, I need just a little more time with Miss Higurashi."

"You know Sesshoumaru," InuYasha said with a smirk. "Kagome isn't one to forgive and forget so easily."

"It has been several months since we had ended our relationship," Sesshoumaru replied cooly. "I do not wish for her to forget, I realize what I had done and said was wrong. All I wish for is that she will finally forgive me."

InuYasha shuddered, to the day, the thought of his brother and his ex girlfriend seriously disturbed him. He had moved on from Kagome, as well as Kikyo and was currently focused on his newest conquest. He had met a interesting girl in one of his classes, she said she was from America, but she didn't look nor sound American considering her perfect Japanese. Not that it mattered, he was focused on the fact that she wasn't a Higurashi and that was okay with him. He finally felt the need to keep as far away from that family as humanly possible.

"Maybe you shouldn't make her seem like this is some business deals between our fathers," InuYasha tried. "That is one of the reasons she was so agains't this relationship in the first place."

"That and the fact that she was against the idea of arranged marriages in general," Sesshoumaru replied. "Now we must leave. Kagome is expecting us any minute now."

"Kagome," Sango sang. "I think we should look for a new place!"

"WHY?" Kagome screeched. "I love this apartment! It's so cozy and beautiful."

"And small," Sango countered. "We have a lot of stuff since we both got differen't jobs, and I think it'd be fun."

"Oh yes," Kagome said sarcastically sitting on the couch. "Super fun as we argue over who gets the master suite, and how the living room is going to look, and whether Miroku is allowed to move in or not…"

"Okay so obvious things will need to be worked out," Sango said quickly. "But you can't seriously tell me you're comfortable in the closet of a room we each have?"

"I guess bigger rooms would be a good thing…" Kagome started. "But we will talk about it later. I have a demon to meet."

"Good luck," Sango called.

"HI KAGOME!" Rin shouted the second she saw the older girl in the parking lot.

"Hello Rin!" Kagome said happily as the girl launched herself at the adult. "I have missed you!"

"I missed you too!" Rin said, allowing a tear fall from her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Kagome asked. "And where is your father?"

"I am here," Sesshoumaru said, appearing out of no where. "How are you?"

"Just fine, thanks."

"You look well," he responded. Instantly Sesshoumaru realized he sounded completely idiotic, he had just seen Kagome the day before.

"As do you," she responded with a smile.

As they walked into the restaurant, Kagome realized how badly she wished Sesshoumaru would grab her hand; or put a arm around her waist. This evening will either go one of two ways, lets hope it goes a good way.

"Kagome I wish to ask you something of great importance to both Rin and I," Sesshoumaru stated.

"Yes?" Kagome asked.

"We would like for you to return to us," Sesshoumaru said. He realized he sounded heartless, and as if he were conducting a business deal. But this specific way of acting is how he won Kagome over in the first place.

"Excuse me?"

"Marry me."

A.N. That is the end of the chapter. Yes, it is not very good. But to be honest, I want to finish up what stories I have going now, as I am in the process of a very different story Hope to get a few reviews!
