Chapter 6

Izayoi is cooking Inuyasha's favorite meal. Ramen. And lots of it. Toga comes in to see her putting the finishing touches of the dishes. "Do you think he's calm down?" Izayoi asks her husband/mate. Toga looks towards the hallway where the stairs are located. "I hope so. Ever since we told him about his future, he's been very upset about it." Izayoi nods. "Yes. When I met Kikyo, I kind of felt something was wrong about her." She frowns in the end as she places the bowl at Inuyasha's spot at the table.

Inuyasha comes out of his personal bathroom with a towel around his waist. He doesn't even bother looking at his phone. Making sure there isn't false hope if a new text from his now ex is trying to get his attention. "Who am I to kid? There's no way Kikyo would try to get me to do something to her." He murmurs to himself as he puts on red sweatpants, and a white short sleeve t-shirt. He then dries his hair with the towel. He is about to get to his homework, until the ramen's aroma seeps into his room. Just one sniff made him forget about the homework and goes downstairs.

Toga and Izayoi wait patiently until Inuyasha comes into the dinning room. Inuyasha is about to enter until he sees what's in front of him. "What's going on here?" Inuyasha asks them with his arms crossed. "What are you talking about? I made your favorite dinner." Izayoi replies innocently. Inuyasha however isn't buying it. "If this is about what happened earlier. I'm not doing it." Inuyasha said with a low growl and walks back out of the room.

Toga uses his demon speed to get in front of his son. "You're being rude to your mother. Now go back in there and eat your dinner. Your mother worked so hard on it." He points his clawed finger towards the entryway into the dinner. "And I don't want to hear any complaining from you." Toga warns him as well. Inuyasha knows for sure that he doesn't disrespect his parents. However, whenever it involves him on a personal level. He kind of loses it. He absently walks into the dining room and eats his dinner.

The following morning, Kagome waits patiently for Inuyasha to pick him up. She looks to her phone to see that he's 5 minutes late. She is about to walk towards the direction to Shikon High until Inuyasha pulls up to her street. Kagome sighs in relief. "Get in." Inuyasha said as he had the window down with a scowl on his face. It was noticed by her. Kagome gets in and Inuyasha speeds off. The way of his driving, Kagome is beginning to feel a bit nervous. She glances to see Inuyasha is too focus on the road. For the look on his face, Kagome can immediately tell that something awful happened to him. She is one who wants to pry, but decides against it.

Inuyasha pulls up to the parking lot of the school. Once parked, and turned off, Inuyasha doesn't get out. Kagome decides to get out, but Inuyasha's hand grabs her upper arm as well as locking the doors. "Not yet. We need to talk." Kagome remains in her spot. "So what's going on? We're going to be late." Kagome reasons with him. "That's the thing. My father told the school about my late attendance." Inuyasha said back without looking at her.

"But I have to be there. Could you please release me so I can get to class?" She asks him in a demanded way. The harder she tries to get her arm free, the tighter his grip was. The bell rings. "Great thanks to you, I'm late." Kagome looks away with an upset look. "The school is aware of that as well. So don't be worried about it." Inuyasha spoke back with annoyance. "What exactly is going on? Why being so irritated?"

At this point, Inuyasha pulls his phone and shows Kagome the message he got from Kikyo last night. Kagome reads the message and knows why Inuyasha is upset. "Oh. I'm sorry. I had no idea. Was it something you did?" She asks him carefully. Inuyasha shakes his head. "No. and it's not what she did. It's what my parents did." He answers her as he let's go of her arm. "I won't pressure you to tell me what your parents did. It's up to you if you want to talk about it." Kagome assures him as her places her hand on top of his.

Just feeling her soft hand on his rough one, Inuyasha couldn't help but grasp it. "The thing is that you're my future mate." He admits to her with his eyes covering his golden eyes. Kagome didn't see that coming. "I'm sorry. What do you mean by that?" She asks him.

"The thing is that I'm a half demon. So as such even though there's relationship between you humans, a relationship with a demon is a serious thing. Once a demon finds himself a mate, he does whatever it takes until that chosen accepts the terms." Inuyasha explains the ways of the demon customs. "But why me? We just met and now your demon wants me to be your mate?" Kagome is unsure about this topic.

"It wasn't me who picked you. My parents did. You know I had a relationship with Kikyo before this whole Student Exchange Program." Inuyasha growls in annoyance. Kagome sighs. "All I could say is that you have a right to decide who you want to be in a relationship with. Not your parents. It's not fair." Inuyasha looks at her with sincere. "You're right. In human terms. But not demons. Once the demon finds his mate, it's over. I even tried to convince my parents about it, but they made themselves clear. As such they want to meet you this weekend." Inuyasha places his forehead on the steering wheel.

Kagome never saw this coming. "Ok. Is there a certain dress code I have to wear to meet your parents? I don't know if I have anything that's fancy to their liking." She decides to comply. "Any dress will do. Even though I live in a mansion, I dress as casually as I can to feel I can fit in. But this is the kind of attire my parents wear." Inuyasha said with hope as he shows a picture of his parents in formal wear. Kagome can see the resemblances between the two. The silver hair, little fangs, clawed hands and golden eyes from his father. But his facial is straight from his mother. Even for the long hair. "They're beautiful." She smiles admiring their stunning looks.

Inuyasha relaxes a bit more. "We might as well get to class. But we mustn't tell anyone about this mate thing. That's why we had to discuss it in my car because there aren't any school cameras to eavesdrop on us." He explains why they had to be in private. Kagome ahs and they both get out of the car and head to class. At that moment, Kagome will have to do whatever it take to impress Inuyasha's parents.
