It's been long but; I'm alive . SO SORRY about my disappearance for a while. I had a HUGE project to do in world geography. They gave us a month to complete it and everyone waited until the last minute to get it done xD and plus I was sick but that's not new... (I'm feeling better now :D )
Alright so, Read, Review, and Enjoy...
"I'm surprised you came to see me son." Seira admitted into the wall phone looking at her now twenty-four year old son through a glass at the prison she had been staying at all this time.
"I simply came for an answer." He said. It was quite embarrassing for Sesshomaru to have his own mother be stupid enough to attempt murder. "Why'd you do it?"
Seira frowned staring down at her orange prison suit. "I'm...not really sure."
"Everyone has their reasons for doing something. Now tell me, why was Izayoi's death so important to you."
"Sesshomaru! That women broke our family apart!" Seira cried. "She ruined everything!"
"Father stopped loving you before he even met Izayoi. Please stop ignoring that minor detail."
"Who's side are you on Sesshomaru!"
"I've always seen Izayoi as a mother figure for me and it displeases me you would try something so idiotic. You hurt my family greatly."
"Sesshomaru... I'm so sorry."
Even if she was a youkai she still had feelings. Sesshomaru still had respect for his mother but nothing like it had been in the past. She had changed completely.
"I hope you'll be out of here in time of my wedding."
"Wedding? Sesshomaru you've claimed a mate?"
"I have."
"Kagura?"
"I've discussed this already with Kagura years ago. She...didn't think she would make it to our first anniversary. She has only been getting worse. I still go and visit her often but she had ended our relationship. I've asked Rin to be my mate."
"Poor dear. Congratulations . Hopefully I am out of here by then. Just a little longer."
"I must be going now." Sesshomaru stated looking at his Rolex.
"Alright...Goodbye Sesshomaru."
"I'll see you soon."

"Now to wrap the quarter up we will begin our baby lesson. This project is worth two hundred points. Don't do it and you will fail my class." warned Mrs. Blew. "You will not be able to choose your partners, I'll choose them for you." Mrs. Blew smirked as the class groaned.
Kagome sunk into her seat as Mrs. Blew called out names of students in pairs. She was hoping she wouldn't get stuck with
"Kagome Higurashi?"
"Yes?"
"You'll be partners with Hojo."
' Really? Oh come on...' Kagome groaned smashing her face onto her desk and sighed. Why Hojo? Out of all the kids in the class she just had to choose him! Why not InuYasha... Kagome listened carefully until some other names were called up until InuYasha's name was called.
"InuYasha, let's see...you'll be working with Kikyo."
"KYAA! YAY!" Kikyo screamed jumping out of her seat. Everyone in the room, including Mrs. Blew and InuYasha, looked at her like she was insane.
"Alrighty..moving on...let's see Miyamoto you'll be working with..."
Kagome didn't bother to listen to the teacher anymore and frowned. She was going to have to have a pretend baby with...with...oh she couldn't even say it.
"H-hi Kagome." Hojo said shyly, scooting his desk closer to hers. "Do you want a boy or girl?"
'What'd I'd like is for you to go away...' Kagome ranted in her head but she knew better than to speak impolitely and answered with a kind smile. "It doesn't matter to me Hojo. I'll let you decide."
"Boy it is than! I'll go tell Mrs. Blew."
"Yeah, you do that..."
"Inu! Can we have a girl! Pretty please." Kikyo begged resting her head on InuYasha's shoulder.
"Whatever you want." He whispered into her ear sending shivers up her spine.
"Okay. Be right back." She winked skipping over to the teacher's desk.
Kagome watched from a distance at the couple. "They were meant for each other weren't they."
"Probably... I feel your pain girl." Said an unknown voice on the side of Kagome.
"Huh?" She said confused looking up. She didn't realize she was all of a sudden speaking her mind.
"I'm Ayame.. You like InuYasha right?" A female wolf demon with green eyes and red hair said to her. Kagome blushed a bright red and hid her face with her binder.
"Hey! Not so loud!"
"Whoops." Ayame giggled organizing her binder. "Looks like you've got it bad."
"You have no idea." Kagome sighed.
"Try me. I've liked Kouga ever sense fourth grade." She admitted very bravely.
'She...likes Kouga! Eww!' Kagome adjusted in her seat and took a deep breath. "I've liked InuYasha ever since I met him in preschool..." Kagome confessed though mumbled InuYasha's name so nobody would quite catch it.
"Aww. How cute. Anyways, I know how you feel watching the one you love share their love with another..."
"I just wish he wasn't such an air head and get the hint I like him..."
"Oi! Kagome, look. Isn't he precious?"
"Honestly, I totally forgot about the whole project. I was talking to...uh..."
"Ayame." Ayame stated, laughing.
:How embarrassing... I'm terrible at remember names. I'm sorry Ayame."
"No problem."
"Well I was thinking of the name Ugineojo." Hojo suggested.
"Hojo..."
"His middle name will be Nang."
"Hojo..."
"And the last name could be both of ours combined but honestly I prefer your last name because Higurashi is so original..."
"Hojo..."
"Why yes Kagome?"
"The only thing I care about is getting a good grade; do whatever you'd like." Honestly this project would have been a bit more entertaining for Kagome if InuYasha was her partner.. Not that she was obsessed but you know...
"Golly Kagome. I-i'm honored."
'Golly! Nobody says that...'

"I put the key into the ignition first right?" Kagome asked a little unsure grasping InuYasha's car keys in her hand.
"Fail. First you should always put on your seat belt." InuYasha replied smartly with a smirk. Kagome was grateful InuYasha was willing to help her learn how to drive. If there was anyone Kagome's mother felt Kagome was in proper hands with it was without a doubt InuYasha.
"Ugh... Fine. I suppose you don't wear a seat belt on your motorcycle?" Kagome said with a roll of her eyes, clicking in her seat belt. "Seat belts buckled. Now I put the key into the ignition?"
"I'm too cool for seat belts and no Kagome you must adjust your mirrors."
"Ugh! This is so stupid!" She mumbled angrily adjusting her mirrors.
"What? Do you want to get in a car accident?"
"No! But still InuYasha, when are we going to get to the actual driving!"
"Ask me when you're mirrors are adjusted."
"Happy! Now what!"
"hm...mhmm...mmhmm...oh wait, you need to scoot your seat up a little."
"Are You kidding me!"
"No..."
Giving InuYasha a death glare Kagome scooted her seat up and placed both hands firmly on the steering wheel.
InuYasha laughed and ruffled Kagome's hair. "Chill out Kags I was just kidding. You can put the key into the ignition now. After that put it into drive."
"Finally!" Kagome squealed.
"Drive slow."
"You're no fun."
"This is serious business Kagome." InuYasha tried saying without smiling but failed.
Kagome laughed but stopped when InuYasha grabbed her chin.
"InuYasha..." Their faces drew into each others until InuYasha grinned and forcefully moved Kagome's head in the direction of the front of the car.
"Rule number one Kagome; never take your eyes off the rode no matter how handsome your passenger may be." He said with a toss of his hair. Kagome blushed and quickly shooed him away.
"You're ridiculous. Now show me how to...uh do this thingy."
InuYasha rolled his eyes and stepped out of the car. Kagome followed after and looked over the car. "InuYasha! Where are you going? You promised you were going to teach me how to drive! I'm sorry for getting distracted but I'll be serious now! I promise." InuYasha made his way over to Kagome's side and got into the driver's seat scooting back the seat a little too far.
"You know what; I'm bored." He decided. "Sit." InuYasha requested patting the extra seat between his legs. "There's enough room."
"Inu...? How's this going to teach me how to drive?"
"It won't. We're just taking a break and have some fun."
It would be a bit awkward to Kagome to have to sit practically in InuYasha's lap while they drove. The tiny thought of that image made her blush. After much deciphering she took a seat. She jumped a little when InuYasha's arms made their way at the sides of her waist and gripped the steering wheel.
"You've gone absolutely insane."
"You need to have more fun. Now shh and close the door." He whispered into her ear.
'WOW.' Kagome was practically melting. 'If Kikyo saw THIS! MAN!' Kagome obediently closed the door and listened for the next set of directions.
"'Kay this is going to be so awesome. I had this idea..."
"Oh no...is this like when we both swam in ball gown dresses?" Kagome groaned making InuYasha laugh.
"I'm surprised you remember that. It's...uh...another thing that was on the list of things I've always wanted to do."
"Which would be...?"
Completely ignoring the question InuYasha started the car. "You steer. I control acceleration."
"WHAT!"
"Don't worry, If things get out of hand I'm right behind you and will take control of the car."
"We could get in trouble with the police doing this."
"The Taisho's own this bit of land; plus, I'm InuYasha, I can do what ever I want. Ready?"
"Guess I don't really have a choice."
"Good answer." He said stepping on the gas pedal.
Kagome had to admit, it was just like an arcade car race where you got to drive as crazy as you wanted. She swerved about a million times but it was good immature fun. In the middle of Kagome's fun InuYasha's cell phone rang.
Picking it up he answered still pressing his foot down on the pedal " Hello? Kikyo?... Hey. Just, cruising you know? …..our project? I guess your house...Can't right now I'm with K- a friend...WHAT!...I ain't cheating on you wench! Why can't I spend time with my friends? Oh my god really Kikyo? Really? Babe oh my god I'll talk to you later...love you bye." InuYasha angrily threw the phone into the backseat and rolled down the window. "Jeez; it's like she's my mother." He joked. "I wanna drive now.."
'InuYasha if you were mine I wouldn't care where you were every second because I trust you...' Kagome sighed.
"Okay."Kagome shrugged letting go of the steering wheel.
Kagome pressed down hard on the gas pedal almost regretting it. Kagome thought InuYasha was an expert driver. No matter how fast she went. As he drove he couldn't help but notice a twinkling light resting on Kagome's bosom. Sense he didn't feel like being convicted as a pervert and brutally getting slapped, he looked away.
"So...you um...kept the locket?"
"Hm?" Kagome grabbed the locket and smiled at it. "Yeah. Only take it off when I shower or sleep." 'Now tell me why you were looking at my chest.' she added in her mind.
'All these years...she has kept it.' he couldn't help but smile. "'kay enough fun. Someone has to get her license."
"Fine..."

"Dude it was so much fun. We drove like maniacs!" InuYasha told Jakotsu as they both worked on different clients.
"Seems like you had a nice day yesterday." Jakotsu smiled.
"Mhm. What about you?"
"Oh the usual."
"What's the usual?"
"A good game of poker. Won myself three hundred dollars."
"Wow. You must be good."
"No one can read this poker face." Jakotsu winked.
'Heh...heh...I know I certainly can't.' InuYasha said to himself a little creeped out.
"Inu!" Kikyo joyfully said coming into the salon with a robotic baby in her arms and a bag. "Me and Midoriko came to visit you at work! We brought you lunch!"
"Aw...It's like you're a married couple already. How cute. I wish someone would bring me lunch."Jakotsu said with a sigh and went to go charge his client.
"So..Midoriko?"
"Yes! Do you like it? It was my great great great grandmother's name."
"That's a lot of greats. I like it."
InuYasha and Kikyo both walked into the back of the salon where employees could eat their lunch in peace. Kikyo set the bag on the table and pulled out a chicken salad.
"Uh Kikyo..."
" This is my salad; silly. Have to watch my figure. I got you a number 7."
"Sweet."
As they ate Kikyo just had to bring up yesterday. "Where were you yesterday InuYasha?" She asked wiping her mouth politely with a napkin.
"I told you I was with a friend."
"Which one?"
"I don;t see how that matters but if you really must know; Kagome."
"E-excuse me?"
"God Kikyo, we go through this all the time. You freak out when ever I hangout with girls. I don't tell you who you can and cant be friends with. But this is Kagome, best friend since preschool! What is she going to do!"
"I'm sorry; I just get worried something will happen between you and another girl."
"I can't believe after all these years you've known me you still don't trust me."
"Inu! I never said I didn't trust you. Is it rare for a girlfriend to be skeptical of who her boyfriend hangs out with?"
"In a way. But seriously; I'm an Inu Hanyou. Loyalty is in my blood whether I like it or not. It's who I am. I'd never do something like that.
"Okay...I believe you. I just can't help but get worried when you aren't by my side."
'A bit clingy now aren't we?'
After lunch InuYasha had to immediately get back to work. He kissed his girlfriend goodbye and went to go fetch his next client.
"So how was your number seven." Jakotsu said with jealously seeping into his voice.
"It wasn't amazing but it'll do until I get home."
"You know my imaginary birthday is coming up..."
"Jakotsu if you still want another number seven tomorrow I'll go to lunch with you." InuYasha laughed.
"You mean it!" Jakotsu couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"But it's uh not a date."
'Yeah sure.' Jakotsu purred in his mind. Now at least he had something to look forward to.

"Oh Sesshomaru! It's too much! I'm fine with a small honeymoon you know." Rin exclaimed looking at the honeymoon suggestions Sesshoumaru had came up with.
"Nothing's too much for you Rin."
"Kyaaa!" Rin squealed falling off the desk like a fan girl. "You are so cute!"
"I honestly thought you would mature after highschool...but I was wrong."
"Ah come on, you love me."
Sesshomaru just smiled and continued his work.
"Is Seira going to be at the wedding?"
"I'm not sure; I really hope if she does everything will go smoothly and my younger brother will act maturely. I want this wedding to be perfect."
"Aw Sesshy it's okay if it's not perfect. I don't judge things like that. As long as we are married is all that matters."
"Cute but I'm not following for it. Now go make me a list of all the friends you want to invite for the wedding."
"Yes sir." She saluted running out of the door. Only seconds later she peaked her head through the door and twirled a piece of hair around her finger. "Uh Sesshy?"
"Yes Rin?"
"I know you're doing all of the planning and stuff but could I pick out the bride's maid's dresses?"
"Of course."
"Yay! Okay, I'll be in the bedroom. Love you!"
"Love you too..."
Sesshomaru thought about all the disasters that could happen at the party. It made him shiver. Perhaps he should order security at the wedding just in case things got out of hand. It wasn't like InuYasha ever forgave Seira. That would be too good to be true.

Kagome stared at the nappy haired robotic doll in front of her. It was her turn to care for the baby.
"Honestly I never thought I would get stuck with such an ugly baby. I think you need a makeover." Kagome found a tiny red shirt that used to be Sota's and put on the baby. After that she went into her bathroom and looked through her beauty bag which held two black, clip on cat ears. She had dressed up as a cat one year for Halloween but thought the ears were too cute to get rid of. Before she left the room she grabbed a small white wash cloth. She placed the wash cloth on the baby's head and with struggle, put on the clip on ears. "Aww... It's adorable now."
"You made a voodoo doll of InuYasha?" Sota laughed coming into his older sister's room with his friend Hitomi.
"No! It's for a project."
"Then why are you trying to make it look like InuYasha? I could of sworn it didn't look like that when you brought it home."
"You can't blame me! That thing looked hideous."
"Hojo's not going to want to carry around a mini InuYasha. You know that he dislikes him."
"I was going to change it back. I just got bored."
"What a weirdo. Come on Hitomi I'll show you around the shrine."
"Okay. Bye Kagome-Chan."
"Yeah, bye." Kagome said pulling off the items on the baby. She picked it up by it's foot and threw it hard on the wooden dresser. Kagome groaned when the baby started crying. "Shut up you stupid baby!"
"Kagome?" Gramps said knocking onto her door though it was open apparently he hadn't realized it.
"Yeah Gramps?"
"You got a letter in the mail."
"Really? Who's it from?"
"Seh...uh...seshh..uh..mer...You know what, why don't you just figure that out yourself." He said giving up on pronouncing the difficult name. He flicked the letter at her which surprisingly she caught.
Kagome was shocked; this letter was from Sesshomaru!
"We would like to invite you to Rin's and Sesshomaru's wedding rehearsal on March 31st." Kagome said reading it out loud. "It's an invitation to Sesshomaru's wedding Gramps!"
"Sesshomaru? Who dat?"
"What do you mean 'who dat'? That's Sesshomaru Taisho, InuYasha's half brother."
"Ohh..." After what seemed like a five minute pause Gramps nodded and left.
Kagome couldn't believe the Higurashi's were invited. It had been so long since they were all together. Not only was she going to go to a wedding but a Taisho wedding! They organized the best events ever.
'Oh my gosh. That means I get to see InuYasha in a Tuxedo. Ah! What am I going to wear?'
Sadly for Kagome, she forgot all about Kikyo who was probably going to be invited as well.
I'm SO sorry I've let you and myself down! . ( times a million) So... hopefully I'm back onto regular schedule. I'll be working on the next chapter later today. (promise) I hoped you liked the chapter. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. :)
