Only took ten days for me to get this up, that's actually fast for me.
Sorry about that cliffy I left, but I liked how it ended. I'm glad everyone
liked the kiss, more fluff like that will be going on later, so be happy. I
got so many reviews, I mean 254 is a lot, at least for me it is. Thanks for
reviewing, review replies are at the bottom. Oh and for people who read my
fic "Being Me" it is now a Sess/Kag.

WARNING: Lemon will be in later chapters. Spelling and grammar is far from good though I have a beta reader and I do run spell check.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha, just the plot for this fic and Kira, which really does not say much.
* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *
The kiss only lasted a few seconds, and I am glad for it. What was he thinking kissing me like that? But I guess this is a romantic scene, and we are here together, so I could understand why he did it. I was the one to pull away, actually we both kind of did.
"I am sorry. I do not know what possessed me to do that." Sesshoumaru said, he sounded so sorry, I could not be mad at him
"It's okay." I said smiling at him, and in turn him looking at me like I'm a crazy person
"I know you did not mean it. This place is so beautiful it can make you do crazy things." I said, trying to tell him it was okay, and I guess it worked because he nodded and turn to the water
I felt a bit sad looking at him, he seemed to be so lonely, and I hate seeing people like that. We came here to have fun, so that is what we are going to do.
"Come on, the water looks great." I said grabbing Sesshoumaru's hand and dragging him to the water
I know he could easily stop me if he wanted to, but I guess he didn't mind because he was just letting me lead him to the ocean. As I stepped into the water I let go of his hand and walked out a little further, the water felt nice. It was cool out, but not too much so, which made the water feel even better.
"I love the ocean. It always looks so magical, almost like it's not even real." I couldn't help but say, I feel like I can say almost anything to him, even something everyone else would find stupid, it's a nice feeling
I saw him nod out of the corner of my eye, he was not much for words, I knew it. It was just nice to be able to talk to him, and have him listen to me, he really is a good friend. At least I hope that he is a friend.
"Let's swim." I said then walked even further into the cool water, I really did need a day like this, it was nice to not have to worry about anything thing for once
I left Sesshouamru standing there, I knew he would follow me in time. He was not wearing his normal attire, but he was still over dressed for a day at the beach. Coming out of my thoughts I noticed that I was already waist deep in the water, I suppose thinking too much will make you forget what you are doing.
"It would be nice to forget."
* * * * * * * * * * * Sess' POV * * * * * * * * * * *
I do not know why I kissed her, I could not help myself. I suppose she could be right, this is a magical place, a place that will make you do crazy things if you are not careful. Her lips were soft though, like rose petals, I would not mind kissing them again.
"But that will never happen." I found myself whispering
She was hurt, she felt she was alone. She would not be ready for any form of relationship, and I was much the same why. I have seen what love can do, and I do not wish to feel it. To feel the pain of love, I will avoid it at all costs. My sister is feeling that pain right now, she is in love, but that love she found so wonderful is ripping her apart, slowly, piece by piece. And in turn it is ripping me apart in much the same way. Kira had been my world for so long, my only reason of staying here, but now I feel that there is another reason, and right now that reason is floating in the ocean looking like the magical creature she is.
"What is wrong with me?" I have been asking myself that a lot lately
I was not one to show how I feel, but since I met this girl, all I have wanted to do was shout that I loved her, but do I? I have known her for less than a week, but yet I feel like she is one of the only people who can understand who I am on the inside. I had never showed any interest in her before when she was with my brother, I never talked to her. I thought if she was stupid enough to fall for him then she was not worth my time, but I was wrong. She is worth every bit of it and more, she is a wondrous creature, so caring, she is everything good in the world.
"Are you getting in the water or not?" her voice called out, I was too wrapped up in my thoughts to notice much around me
I took off the pants I had been wearing, I did not want to go out of the house in shorts, though I do not know why, I suppose I just did not feel comfortable like that. I took off the shirt I was wearing, folding my clothes and setting them on the towel that I brought. After I was done I walked towards the water again, I had not been to this place in quite sometime. I stepped into the water, and right away I felt the memories pouring into my mind. Memories of my mother, so kind, yet so sad.
"I suppose I did need a day off." I said as I walked even further into the clear water, I was feeling better already
As soon as I got far enough out, I began to swim towards Kagome. I was suppose to be cheering her up right now, but I suppose I could cheer myself up in the process.
"So you finally decided to join me, ne?" she asked in a playful voice, I had never seen her like this, she was splashing mw with water like we were a couple of little kids
I splashed her back, and soon enough it turned into an all out water-war, I had not been in one of those for the longest time.
"Okay, I give!" Kagome screamed after a good fifteen minutes of splashing each other in the face
I stopped splashing her and was just content with swimming around near her. She looked even more beautiful with her wet hair clinging to her smiling face. I had to hold back a sigh as I continued to look at her, making sure she did not notice it.
"Let's get something to eat." She said a minute later, smiling even more so then she had been
"Let's."
* * * * * * * * * * * Youkai Yume Kira's POV * * * * * * * * * * *
I was waiting for the call that would determine my little brothers fate. It's not really as dramatic as that, I am just trying to get into the pranks mood. Hiten will call me and tell me where everything will take place, but knowing him he will not tell me what they are going to do, he likes to surprise me, more so he likes to keep me in suspense. My cell phone began to ring all of a sudden, and to my surprise my hand shot out and grabbed it before I even knew what was going on, I swear it has a mind of it's own.
"Moshi moshi?" I answered, kind of sweetly, just to make sure it was him
"Lobby." was all he said before he hung up
"Perfect, now everyone will get a chance to see this." I thought as I stood up from my brothers desk
I walked out the door after I I picked up some papers that I 'needed' to take to Miroku in the lobby, of course it was just an excuse to get down there and not be blamed for this new prank. I got on the elevator and made my way to the lobby, it was pretty busy as it usually was. As I walked towards the stage I saw Inuyasha staring at Kikyou as she served some semi- drunk men some sake.
"Whore." I muttered to myself as I 'waited' for Miroku
I looked up a second later, and to my surprise saw my brother little servant Jaken, he look utterly sick, it was a funny site. I watched Jaken walk closer to my brother, and that's when it hit me. I knew what the plan was.
"You're going to enjoy this." a whisper in my ear, that sent shivers down my spine said
"You are a genius." I said, not turning to look at him
Hiten was so close to me I could feel him slightly pressed against my back as we hid behind part of the stage. I may have had a reason to come down here, but I did not want to take a chance of Inuyasha seeing me before the plan was done with.
"So why are we doing this again?" Hiten asked, sometimes I swear he could be a moron
"He hurt someone close to me." I said still watching my little brother watch his slutty girlfriend
I was waiting for the plan to unfold, but Jaken was taking his sweet time, he was also looking even sicker.
"Are you su-" I tried to finish my sentence, but Hiten turned me around and proceeded to kiss me
I kissed back for a second before I pulled away realizing what I was doing. I was kissing my ex while I was engaged to a man that I love, or do I? Before I could react to him I noticed the plan starting.
"Inuyasha Ichikawa, will you marry me?" Jaken's now shrill voice rang out, I suppose he was going for loud, which was good
"What the hell!?" my little brother shouted as he stood up as fast as he could moving away from the toad youkai
"Inuyasha, are you gay?" Kikyou asked as she stepped forward in the crowd
People were milling around looking on at the amusing seen. A little green youkai asking a Inu hanyou to marry him, while a slutty waitress asks if the hanyou is gay, it was turning out quite well.
"Hell no!" Inuyasha shouted looking at Kikyou in shock, I suppose he was wondering how she could even ask that
Jaken was down on one knee, making him look even shorter, holding a diamond ring out to my brother.
"Well last night you certainly thought differently." Jaken huffed, now getting into this whole bit, he was actually a pretty good actor
Kikyou's eyes went wide as she gaped at Inuyasha, Jaken had turned his back on them, now facing me and he winked and smiled.
"I AM NOT GAY!" Inuyasha shouted, now the attention of the whole casino lobby was on him
"But honey, you said you loved me!" Jaken shouted and began to cry, everyone gave him looks of sympathy
All around I could hear things like 'That bastard' and 'How could he do that too him' from everyone watching, this was going better than I had planned.
"I never said that!" my brother yelled, trying to get Kikyou to believe him, but she did not seem too
"I thought you loved me. I was even going to have the surgery for you!" Jaken said, sobbing even more, he was really good with dramatics
Jaken ran off a second later in tears, Kikyou stormed off pissed as hell, and Inuyasha just stood there not knowing what was going on.
* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *
We had spent hours swimming, and playing in the cool ocean water. It was like a dream, kind of magical in a way, I never thought I would be doing this with Sesshoumaru, he never seemed like the type to do something like this. I guess Kira had a lot to do with it, but I think deep down he wanted to get away from work and just have fun.
"I'm hungry. Why don't we go get something to eat." I said as I dried my hair, brushing my fingers through it to make sure I didn't have any knots I would have to take care of later
"Alright." Sesshouamru said, agreeing with me as he dried his hair, much like I was with my own
He had beautiful hair, I would just about kill for, but I liked my hair too. It was not too long, but wasn't short either, and the color wasn't too bad.
"Do you want to get a burger?" I asked after we packed up all of our stuff and our clothes were back on
All he did was nod, so I grabbed my stuff and began to walk back the way we came. The beach had gotten even more crowded since we had come early in the morning, it was now later in the afternoon. We walked back to the car, there was a burger stand near the car so we could walk there after we put our things away.
"This place has the best food." I said, trying to get Sesshoumaru to talk, but he seemed to be in his own little world, which was weird for him
I grabbed his hand again, it was warm and I was surprised when he entwined his fingers with my a few seconds later. I looked at him, but he still seemed out of it, so it must have been a natural reaction to someone holding his hand or something.
"What can I get you?" the guy behind the counter asked me as soon as we walked up, Sesshoumaru didn't seem to want to come back to reality so I had to order for both of us
"I need two burgers, two fries, and two Dr. Pepper's." I said, just getting us both what I normally get, Sesshoumaru would just have to deal with it
"Seven-hundred and eighty four yen." he said the price
I gave him the money after digging it out of my pockets, I was surprised I even had any money in these old shorts. If I found out Sesshoumaru was just trying to get out of paying, then I was going to kick his ass, okay so I'm not, but it's nice to dream that I could.
"So, are you going to talk or just stand there all day?" I asked, I had let his hand go a when we got here, he was acting very weird today, not that I have known him very long to know how he acts, but it did not seem like this was normal
"Let us find a seat." he said, I almost threw my hands up and called out in glee, not really, but it would have been funny
"Okay." I said walking over to a table, I like it here because you get to eat outside and watch the ocean
Sesshoumaru sat down across from me, seeming more here than he did a minute ago. I couldn't help but wonder what is the matter with him, he seemed to be fine earlier, but not now.
"The food should be ready soon." I said, just trying to break the silence, he seemed more into talking before than he does now
He nodded again not saying anything, it was really getting on my nerves. Before when we first came here, and when we were swimming, he was talking as much as I have ever seen him talk before, and now he's so quiet, a big change in such a short amount of time.
"I'll go and get the food." I said then stood up, not waiting for him to say anything, I was getting mad at him, and I had no real reason too
I went to the counter and grabbed the food after I made sure that it was ours. I walked back to the table, but before I got there I heard a familiar voice. I looked around, and that's when I saw Kouga and a girl, a girl that was not Kira. The had just sat down at a table behind ours, which made it where Sesshoumaru could not see them. I hurried back to the table, taking quick glances at them every once in a while. I set the food down as I sat down in my seat.
"Ne, Sesshoumaru?" I asked, trying to get his attention as he made for the food
"Hai?" he asked then sipped his drink
"Ano. Kouga-kun is here, with a woman." I said nervously, I had to tell him, even though I knew he would be pissed
He looked up at me, I could see the anger starting to swell up inside of him, he was so protective of his sister, I was afraid of what he would do.
"So this is why he has been so distant with her. He has a girlfriend on the side." He said, trying not to let his anger show in his voice
I nodded and lowered my head, I did not know what to say. I didn't even know about any of this, I didn't know he was distant with her as of late. I suppose Kira did not want to tell me here problems when she knew I had my own, she was just that type of person.
"I suppose we must tell her about this, but first I believe I will go over there and kick his ass." Sesshoumaru said, then jumped up surprising me, I thought he wasn't going to do this, but I was wrong
I jumped up after him, but of course since he is a youkai he was already there holding Kouga up by the shirt.
"Let me go." I heard Kouga say, the woman he was with was screamed a bit, but she was silenced with a glare from Sesshoumaru
"You are in for a world of pain."

Nother cliffy, I know how much you hate them, but I like them. I did not get to have my beta reader look over this, so there are probably many spelling/grammar mistakes, I will go back and fix them later. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Oh if you are a Inu/Kag fan also, I posted my first Inu/Kag fic. Please review and tell me what you thought of this chapter, even though it probably sucks.

Thanks for reviewing.
~~
Kagura-Hime: I'm so happy you love it, I love writing it. I have gotten so many reviews telling me how much they like Kira, I never thought people would like her, people don't seem to like OC's much, I'm glad you like her though. Actually, Kira was based off of a voice in my head (the vindictive one) she actually was, it's weird I know. I hate Kikyou too, I use to like her, you know when she was dead and there was no reason to hate her, but when she came back I became a rabid Kikyou hater. I will do many bad things to her, I will in all of my fics that I put her in. I don't feel bad anymore, I gave him his own fic to be with Kagome in, and be nice. I'm a big Sess/Kag fan too, but I do like reading Inu/Kag fics also. Yup, the kissed, everyone was waiting for that I know, so there it was, short but sweet I guess you could say. Yes I do have a mailing list for it actually the link is in my profile. Wow thanks so much for adding me to your favorites, I feel so good when people do that. Thanks for that nice review, take care of yourself and I hope you keep reading.
~~

I am getting better with my spelling/grammar, my beta reader said so ^-^v, so I'm not worrying over it anymore. I'm happy you think it's original, I looked around and didn't see anything like it, so I was happy I thought of it first. I hope you liked this chapter, I worked a good while on it because of all of my amazing reviewers. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

~~
DaakuKitsune: I am glad you thought it was great, makes me all happy. Did you like all of the surprises? I worked hard on them. I think she should too, it will teach him to not read at the table. I know, poor Kag, but it'll get better, I mean she's gonna end up with the hottest guy in the anime (in my opinion at least ^-^). People complained that there was no fluff, so I made fluff in the form of a kiss, go me. Ahhh, did you like the rest of the plan? It was the best part, at least that's what I thought. I actually liked Hiten in the anime, don't ask me why though, I just did. The only pairing that I don't have planned is Inuyasha and whoever, but I shall come up with one soon! lol, I forget about characters all the time, I mean I haven't had Sango and Miroku in this fic alot, but it will change, hopefully. Don't you hate Kouga now? I know I do, and I was the one who made him do it, eh heh. Okay this is going to go on forever, let's just agree that pour fics are in the same category in the good department (make sense? @.@). It is worse than rabbits, I have found like 20 or more, I see a new one every day it seems, I could imagine the looks you got, lol. I'm glad you loved the chappy, I hope you loved this one just as much. You're a great authoress too! Thanks for another WONDERFUL review, it's nice to know people are sticking with my story.

rured: That they do, and I hope you liked this update, I got it out very fast. Thanks for reviewing.

WARNING: Lemon will be in later chapters. Spelling and grammar is far from good though I have a beta reader and I do run spell check.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha, just the plot for this fic and Kira, which really does not say much.
* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *
The kiss only lasted a few seconds, and I am glad for it. What was he thinking kissing me like that? But I guess this is a romantic scene, and we are here together, so I could understand why he did it. I was the one to pull away, actually we both kind of did.
"I am sorry. I do not know what possessed me to do that." Sesshoumaru said, he sounded so sorry, I could not be mad at him
"It's okay." I said smiling at him, and in turn him looking at me like I'm a crazy person
"I know you did not mean it. This place is so beautiful it can make you do crazy things." I said, trying to tell him it was okay, and I guess it worked because he nodded and turn to the water
I felt a bit sad looking at him, he seemed to be so lonely, and I hate seeing people like that. We came here to have fun, so that is what we are going to do.
"Come on, the water looks great." I said grabbing Sesshoumaru's hand and dragging him to the water
I know he could easily stop me if he wanted to, but I guess he didn't mind because he was just letting me lead him to the ocean. As I stepped into the water I let go of his hand and walked out a little further, the water felt nice. It was cool out, but not too much so, which made the water feel even better.
"I love the ocean. It always looks so magical, almost like it's not even real." I couldn't help but say, I feel like I can say almost anything to him, even something everyone else would find stupid, it's a nice feeling
I saw him nod out of the corner of my eye, he was not much for words, I knew it. It was just nice to be able to talk to him, and have him listen to me, he really is a good friend. At least I hope that he is a friend.
"Let's swim." I said then walked even further into the cool water, I really did need a day like this, it was nice to not have to worry about anything thing for once
I left Sesshouamru standing there, I knew he would follow me in time. He was not wearing his normal attire, but he was still over dressed for a day at the beach. Coming out of my thoughts I noticed that I was already waist deep in the water, I suppose thinking too much will make you forget what you are doing.
"It would be nice to forget."
* * * * * * * * * * * Sess' POV * * * * * * * * * * *
I do not know why I kissed her, I could not help myself. I suppose she could be right, this is a magical place, a place that will make you do crazy things if you are not careful. Her lips were soft though, like rose petals, I would not mind kissing them again.
"But that will never happen." I found myself whispering
She was hurt, she felt she was alone. She would not be ready for any form of relationship, and I was much the same why. I have seen what love can do, and I do not wish to feel it. To feel the pain of love, I will avoid it at all costs. My sister is feeling that pain right now, she is in love, but that love she found so wonderful is ripping her apart, slowly, piece by piece. And in turn it is ripping me apart in much the same way. Kira had been my world for so long, my only reason of staying here, but now I feel that there is another reason, and right now that reason is floating in the ocean looking like the magical creature she is.
"What is wrong with me?" I have been asking myself that a lot lately
I was not one to show how I feel, but since I met this girl, all I have wanted to do was shout that I loved her, but do I? I have known her for less than a week, but yet I feel like she is one of the only people who can understand who I am on the inside. I had never showed any interest in her before when she was with my brother, I never talked to her. I thought if she was stupid enough to fall for him then she was not worth my time, but I was wrong. She is worth every bit of it and more, she is a wondrous creature, so caring, she is everything good in the world.
"Are you getting in the water or not?" her voice called out, I was too wrapped up in my thoughts to notice much around me
I took off the pants I had been wearing, I did not want to go out of the house in shorts, though I do not know why, I suppose I just did not feel comfortable like that. I took off the shirt I was wearing, folding my clothes and setting them on the towel that I brought. After I was done I walked towards the water again, I had not been to this place in quite sometime. I stepped into the water, and right away I felt the memories pouring into my mind. Memories of my mother, so kind, yet so sad.
"I suppose I did need a day off." I said as I walked even further into the clear water, I was feeling better already
As soon as I got far enough out, I began to swim towards Kagome. I was suppose to be cheering her up right now, but I suppose I could cheer myself up in the process.
"So you finally decided to join me, ne?" she asked in a playful voice, I had never seen her like this, she was splashing mw with water like we were a couple of little kids
I splashed her back, and soon enough it turned into an all out water-war, I had not been in one of those for the longest time.
"Okay, I give!" Kagome screamed after a good fifteen minutes of splashing each other in the face
I stopped splashing her and was just content with swimming around near her. She looked even more beautiful with her wet hair clinging to her smiling face. I had to hold back a sigh as I continued to look at her, making sure she did not notice it.
"Let's get something to eat." She said a minute later, smiling even more so then she had been
"Let's."
* * * * * * * * * * * Youkai Yume Kira's POV * * * * * * * * * * *
I was waiting for the call that would determine my little brothers fate. It's not really as dramatic as that, I am just trying to get into the pranks mood. Hiten will call me and tell me where everything will take place, but knowing him he will not tell me what they are going to do, he likes to surprise me, more so he likes to keep me in suspense. My cell phone began to ring all of a sudden, and to my surprise my hand shot out and grabbed it before I even knew what was going on, I swear it has a mind of it's own.
"Moshi moshi?" I answered, kind of sweetly, just to make sure it was him
"Lobby." was all he said before he hung up
"Perfect, now everyone will get a chance to see this." I thought as I stood up from my brothers desk
I walked out the door after I I picked up some papers that I 'needed' to take to Miroku in the lobby, of course it was just an excuse to get down there and not be blamed for this new prank. I got on the elevator and made my way to the lobby, it was pretty busy as it usually was. As I walked towards the stage I saw Inuyasha staring at Kikyou as she served some semi- drunk men some sake.
"Whore." I muttered to myself as I 'waited' for Miroku
I looked up a second later, and to my surprise saw my brother little servant Jaken, he look utterly sick, it was a funny site. I watched Jaken walk closer to my brother, and that's when it hit me. I knew what the plan was.
"You're going to enjoy this." a whisper in my ear, that sent shivers down my spine said
"You are a genius." I said, not turning to look at him
Hiten was so close to me I could feel him slightly pressed against my back as we hid behind part of the stage. I may have had a reason to come down here, but I did not want to take a chance of Inuyasha seeing me before the plan was done with.
"So why are we doing this again?" Hiten asked, sometimes I swear he could be a moron
"He hurt someone close to me." I said still watching my little brother watch his slutty girlfriend
I was waiting for the plan to unfold, but Jaken was taking his sweet time, he was also looking even sicker.
"Are you su-" I tried to finish my sentence, but Hiten turned me around and proceeded to kiss me
I kissed back for a second before I pulled away realizing what I was doing. I was kissing my ex while I was engaged to a man that I love, or do I? Before I could react to him I noticed the plan starting.
"Inuyasha Ichikawa, will you marry me?" Jaken's now shrill voice rang out, I suppose he was going for loud, which was good
"What the hell!?" my little brother shouted as he stood up as fast as he could moving away from the toad youkai
"Inuyasha, are you gay?" Kikyou asked as she stepped forward in the crowd
People were milling around looking on at the amusing seen. A little green youkai asking a Inu hanyou to marry him, while a slutty waitress asks if the hanyou is gay, it was turning out quite well.
"Hell no!" Inuyasha shouted looking at Kikyou in shock, I suppose he was wondering how she could even ask that
Jaken was down on one knee, making him look even shorter, holding a diamond ring out to my brother.
"Well last night you certainly thought differently." Jaken huffed, now getting into this whole bit, he was actually a pretty good actor
Kikyou's eyes went wide as she gaped at Inuyasha, Jaken had turned his back on them, now facing me and he winked and smiled.
"I AM NOT GAY!" Inuyasha shouted, now the attention of the whole casino lobby was on him
"But honey, you said you loved me!" Jaken shouted and began to cry, everyone gave him looks of sympathy
All around I could hear things like 'That bastard' and 'How could he do that too him' from everyone watching, this was going better than I had planned.
"I never said that!" my brother yelled, trying to get Kikyou to believe him, but she did not seem too
"I thought you loved me. I was even going to have the surgery for you!" Jaken said, sobbing even more, he was really good with dramatics
Jaken ran off a second later in tears, Kikyou stormed off pissed as hell, and Inuyasha just stood there not knowing what was going on.
* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *
We had spent hours swimming, and playing in the cool ocean water. It was like a dream, kind of magical in a way, I never thought I would be doing this with Sesshoumaru, he never seemed like the type to do something like this. I guess Kira had a lot to do with it, but I think deep down he wanted to get away from work and just have fun.
"I'm hungry. Why don't we go get something to eat." I said as I dried my hair, brushing my fingers through it to make sure I didn't have any knots I would have to take care of later
"Alright." Sesshouamru said, agreeing with me as he dried his hair, much like I was with my own
He had beautiful hair, I would just about kill for, but I liked my hair too. It was not too long, but wasn't short either, and the color wasn't too bad.
"Do you want to get a burger?" I asked after we packed up all of our stuff and our clothes were back on
All he did was nod, so I grabbed my stuff and began to walk back the way we came. The beach had gotten even more crowded since we had come early in the morning, it was now later in the afternoon. We walked back to the car, there was a burger stand near the car so we could walk there after we put our things away.
"This place has the best food." I said, trying to get Sesshoumaru to talk, but he seemed to be in his own little world, which was weird for him
I grabbed his hand again, it was warm and I was surprised when he entwined his fingers with my a few seconds later. I looked at him, but he still seemed out of it, so it must have been a natural reaction to someone holding his hand or something.
"What can I get you?" the guy behind the counter asked me as soon as we walked up, Sesshoumaru didn't seem to want to come back to reality so I had to order for both of us
"I need two burgers, two fries, and two Dr. Pepper's." I said, just getting us both what I normally get, Sesshoumaru would just have to deal with it
"Seven-hundred and eighty four yen." he said the price
I gave him the money after digging it out of my pockets, I was surprised I even had any money in these old shorts. If I found out Sesshoumaru was just trying to get out of paying, then I was going to kick his ass, okay so I'm not, but it's nice to dream that I could.
"So, are you going to talk or just stand there all day?" I asked, I had let his hand go a when we got here, he was acting very weird today, not that I have known him very long to know how he acts, but it did not seem like this was normal
"Let us find a seat." he said, I almost threw my hands up and called out in glee, not really, but it would have been funny
"Okay." I said walking over to a table, I like it here because you get to eat outside and watch the ocean
Sesshoumaru sat down across from me, seeming more here than he did a minute ago. I couldn't help but wonder what is the matter with him, he seemed to be fine earlier, but not now.
"The food should be ready soon." I said, just trying to break the silence, he seemed more into talking before than he does now
He nodded again not saying anything, it was really getting on my nerves. Before when we first came here, and when we were swimming, he was talking as much as I have ever seen him talk before, and now he's so quiet, a big change in such a short amount of time.
"I'll go and get the food." I said then stood up, not waiting for him to say anything, I was getting mad at him, and I had no real reason too
I went to the counter and grabbed the food after I made sure that it was ours. I walked back to the table, but before I got there I heard a familiar voice. I looked around, and that's when I saw Kouga and a girl, a girl that was not Kira. The had just sat down at a table behind ours, which made it where Sesshoumaru could not see them. I hurried back to the table, taking quick glances at them every once in a while. I set the food down as I sat down in my seat.
"Ne, Sesshoumaru?" I asked, trying to get his attention as he made for the food
"Hai?" he asked then sipped his drink
"Ano. Kouga-kun is here, with a woman." I said nervously, I had to tell him, even though I knew he would be pissed
He looked up at me, I could see the anger starting to swell up inside of him, he was so protective of his sister, I was afraid of what he would do.
"So this is why he has been so distant with her. He has a girlfriend on the side." He said, trying not to let his anger show in his voice
I nodded and lowered my head, I did not know what to say. I didn't even know about any of this, I didn't know he was distant with her as of late. I suppose Kira did not want to tell me here problems when she knew I had my own, she was just that type of person.
"I suppose we must tell her about this, but first I believe I will go over there and kick his ass." Sesshoumaru said, then jumped up surprising me, I thought he wasn't going to do this, but I was wrong
I jumped up after him, but of course since he is a youkai he was already there holding Kouga up by the shirt.
"Let me go." I heard Kouga say, the woman he was with was screamed a bit, but she was silenced with a glare from Sesshoumaru
"You are in for a world of pain."

Nother cliffy, I know how much you hate them, but I like them. I did not get to have my beta reader look over this, so there are probably many spelling/grammar mistakes, I will go back and fix them later. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Oh if you are a Inu/Kag fan also, I posted my first Inu/Kag fic. Please review and tell me what you thought of this chapter, even though it probably sucks.

Hai- Yes
Iie- No
Ohayo-Good Morning

Taiyoukai Lord Sesshoumaru: I thought it was too, it was very fun to write. I'm glad you loved it, I really worked fast to get it out. I know, no one expected the kiss, that's why I put it, and it made a great cliffy. Did you like tha plan? I did, I couldn't stop laughing as I was writing it. Oh Kikyou will hurt, she will hurt very badly. So did you like the Kouga thing? I know I did not get into it a whole lot, but I will in the next chapter. The stalker guy will come back in soon, I know it seems like everyone forgot about him, but they didn't. Short review this time, but still nice. I hope you liked this chapter, thanks for reviewing.

Kaze no Miko: Have you been eating sugar out of the bag? lol. Yes a kiss finally, I know how much everyone wanted fluff, so you got it. I'm glad you loved it, it was fun for me to write. Thanks for saying that, I love when people say I'm one of their favorite writers. I will keep it up as long as I can. Lemon will be a while later, this fic is going to be a long one, the lemon will not be posted here because of the new rule or whatever, but it will be at MM.org, and AdultFanFiction.net. Thanks for reviewing.
~~
Kagura-Hime: I'm so happy you love it, I love writing it. I have gotten so many reviews telling me how much they like Kira, I never thought people would like her, people don't seem to like OC's much, I'm glad you like her though. Actually, Kira was based off of a voice in my head (the vindictive one) she actually was, it's weird I know. I hate Kikyou too, I use to like her, you know when she was dead and there was no reason to hate her, but when she came back I became a rabid Kikyou hater. I will do many bad things to her, I will in all of my fics that I put her in. I don't feel bad anymore, I gave him his own fic to be with Kagome in, and be nice. I'm a big Sess/Kag fan too, but I do like reading Inu/Kag fics also. Yup, the kissed, everyone was waiting for that I know, so there it was, short but sweet I guess you could say. Yes I do have a mailing list for it actually the link is in my profile. Wow thanks so much for adding me to your favorites, I feel so good when people do that. Thanks for that nice review, take care of yourself and I hope you keep reading.
~~

~~
HellzAznGrl: Glad you loved it, everyone else is kinda mad, well most of them. I'm so sorry about that, I had to leave it how I did, don't ask me why though. I hope this update was good, and Kikyou will die, be brought back, and then die again, lol. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for reviewing.

~~
Niamha: Sorry, I had too, I swear my sister was pointing a gun at my head and she told me too *she nods still holding the gun* she is evil. Was this update fast enough? I hope so. I'm glad you like it so much, makes me very happy knowing people are enjoying what I write. *blushes* I'm not that great at all, but thanks for saying so. I am getting better with my spelling/grammar, my beta reader said so ^-^v, so I'm not worrying over it anymore. I'm happy you think it's original, I looked around and didn't see anything like it, so I was happy I thought of it first. I hope you liked this chapter, I worked a good while on it because of all of my amazing reviewers. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

lilchinese-ham: Happy to see that you liked my fic so far. I hope you liked this chapter too, I worked hard on it. Thanks for reviewing and adding me to your favorite authors list ^-^
~~
DaakuKitsune: I am glad you thought it was great, makes me all happy. Did you like all of the surprises? I worked hard on them. I think she should too, it will teach him to not read at the table. I know, poor Kag, but it'll get better, I mean she's gonna end up with the hottest guy in the anime (in my opinion at least ^-^). People complained that there was no fluff, so I made fluff in the form of a kiss, go me. Ahhh, did you like the rest of the plan? It was the best part, at least that's what I thought. I actually liked Hiten in the anime, don't ask me why though, I just did. The only pairing that I don't have planned is Inuyasha and whoever, but I shall come up with one soon! lol, I forget about characters all the time, I mean I haven't had Sango and Miroku in this fic alot, but it will change, hopefully. Don't you hate Kouga now? I know I do, and I was the one who made him do it, eh heh. Okay this is going to go on forever, let's just agree that pour fics are in the same category in the good department (make sense? @.@). It is worse than rabbits, I have found like 20 or more, I see a new one every day it seems, I could imagine the looks you got, lol. I'm glad you loved the chappy, I hope you loved this one just as much. You're a great authoress too! Thanks for another WONDERFUL review, it's nice to know people are sticking with my story.

rured: That they do, and I hope you liked this update, I got it out very fast. Thanks for reviewing.
