div style="outline: none !important;"It had been 3 days since the dinner with the Shikon clan. Kagome and Korari had immediately connected. Akira and Toga confirmed their scents matching indicating they were related. They still got a DNA test to be sure. Those results would be in within a week. In two days the Shikon clan was to return to Tokyo. Kagome felt so torn. She finally met her mother and was getting to know her, and they were being separated again./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Tonight was her date with Inuyasha. After dinner Inuyasha walked her to her car and invited her on a date. Her heart had fluttered, and she immediately said yes. She had no idea where they were going but he told her to dress casually. She was thankful for that considering every time she went with the Shikon clan it was a formal event./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Grabbing a pair of light wash skinny jeans and a red long sleeve cashmere sweater Kagome started getting ready for her date. She put on her clothes and put on black Ugg boots that had two bows on the back. Searching in her closet she found a long black trench coat that had faux fur on the collar and hems of the sleeves and bottom of the jacket./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome left her hair down falling to the bottom of her back and framing her face. She put on light eyeliner and mascara. Making sure she had everything she needed, and one last look over in the mirror she was ready. Inuyasha had told her he'd pick her up, so she went into the living room to wait for him. Before she could sit down the doorbell rang. Brushing off imaginary dust she quickly opened the door her heart pounding in her chest./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Opening the door stood the handsome hanyou. His silver locks pulled into a high ponytail with his bangs out and two pieces of hair framing hose face. His ears stood tall and twitching at little sounds. His golden eyes bore into hers with intensity as a smug smirk was on his lips with a fang poking out. He wore a red t shirt and black faded jeans with holes in them. On his feet were red and white Nikes. On his left wrist was a silver Rolex watch. In the same hand he held a bouquet of white lilies and red roses./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Good evening gorgeous." He greeted her./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Good evening. You look good." She replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Holding out the flowers towards her he said, "these are for you." With a smile./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome grabbed the flowers with a smile on her face and sniffed them. "Thank you, they're my favorite. Let me put these in a vase and we can go?"/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Sounds good." Was all he replied, smirk still on his face./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome quickly out the flowers in a vase with some water and made her way back to the door where the hanyou was waiting. She smiled at him and told him she was ready. Inuyasha grabbed her hand in his and walked downstairs and out to his car./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Reaching his car Kagome stopped and stared in awe. In front of them was a sleek black Lexus LS 350./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Your car is gorgeous." She commented./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""The lady about to get in it is even more gorgeous." Inuyasha whispered in her ear./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome blushed and looked at him. He simply smirked at her and guided her to the passenger door. Opening the door for her and letting her sit and out her seatbelt on before shutting the door and making his way to the driver's seat. He started the car when she asked him. "So where are we going?"/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Bowling" he replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Really? I've never been bowling. I took you as the kind of guy to have dates at fancy restaurants."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Keh, you're not an ordinary lady. Yeah, a fancy restaurant is nice but one I'm tired of being in a monkey suit and two you seem like the type of girl that appreciates the time more than the place."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome smiled softly. "You are absolutely right."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"The drive was a fairly quick one. They kept themselves busy asking each other questions about the other and telling jokes. When they pulled up to the bowling alley inuyasha got out the car and opened Kagome's door./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""You are quite the gentleman." She smiled at him./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha grabbed her hand and placed a delicate kiss on it. Kagome blushed at the contact and felt her insides turn and ignite a fire inside her. He smirked at her and replied, "I try to be."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"The couple made their way into the bowling alley. Turns out Inuyasha rented out the whole alley. She was appreciative of the privacy. She never fully stopped being scared her father would find her. They got their shoes and bowling balls and made their way to their lane. Kagome vs. Inuyasha who would win?/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha grinned at her and told her he was so far unbeatable. Kagome grinned back and decided to make this a challenge./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Okay, loser has to wear a tiara that says loser at the next Dinner we all attend." Kagome challenged./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha gave a toothy grin and extended his hand. "You're on. Shake on it."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"They shook hands and got into position. Inuyasha let Kagome bowl first. "Ladies first" he said./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome got into position, took a deep breath and swung. The ball rolled down the lane and knocked all the pins over. 'STRIKE' the screen displayed. Kagome turned and smiled at him. "Go ahead puppy."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha gave a playful growl and swung next. He also got a strike. Kagome's next turn she knocked half the pins over and tried to get a spare but ended up with one pin standing. Inuyasha rolled a spare, knowing half down then the other half./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"They continued playing until the game was finished. Two hours later they were neck and neck. Whoever got this last shot was the winner. Inuyasha rolled a spare. Kagome was nervous, not that she was against wearing the looser tiara, she just really wanted to beat the unbeatable hanyou. She looked at the pins, took a deep breath, and rolled. It felt like eternity for the ball the roll down the lane. The ball made contact with the pins. A full strike! Kagome squealed and jumped up and down./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I won! I won! AHA I beat you!" She declared./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha smiled at her. He wrapped a hand around her waist and pulled her close./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I think the winner deserves a prize" he whispered in her ear. Kagome looked up at him. Their eyes meeting./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Oh, and what would that prize be?" She responded. Inuyasha smiled at her gently and leaned his head down./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Their lips met. The kiss was seemingly sweet until Inuyasha swept his tongue against her lips asking for permission. She granted him entrance. Using her own tongue lot lick his fangs. Their tongues battled for dominance, with Inuyasha being the victor. Kagome pulled back slightly and bit his lip taking it with her as she pulled away. Inuyasha growled low in his throat and wrapped a clawed hand behind her head to keep her close./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome moaned into the kiss. She could feel her lower region getting wet with excitement and her nipples press against her bra begging to be touched. Inuyasha slid his hand that was around her waist into her back pocket. Grasping her ass firmly. Kagome moaned again./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Uh…if you guys are finished playing…uh you can do another game…" a meek voice called out to them./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"They separated and looked over at the employee he looked terrified. Behind the counter they could see what the presumed to be the manager watching. He probably sent him over./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""That's fine, we'll be leaving actually." Inuyasha stated as he grasps Kagome's hand and they grabbed their things, returned their bowling shoes and left./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Getting into the car Kagome immediately busted into a fit of giggles. Inuyasha simply smiled at her and soon started chuckling with her./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""He looked so scared!" She cried out in between giggles./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Keh he probably never even kissed a girl let alone had to break two people kissing apart" Inuyasha replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome's giggles died down and she turned to look at him. Smiling brightly, she told him she had an amazing time./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""How about we continue this then? I know I food pizza place not too far?" He suggested./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome's eyes widened at pizza. She loved pizza. She excitedly agreed and they went on their way to the shop./div

div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha was walking Kagome to her apartment door./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I had a great time tonight Inuyasha." Kagome said softly./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""As did I." He replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome smiled at him and leaned up on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek. The feel of his broad shoulders under her hand sent a wave of desire through her body. As she was pulling away from his cheek, Inuyasha turned his head and met her lips with his. Wrapping his arms around her waist, bringing her closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Pulling back for air they locked eyes. Kagome smiled lowly at him. Inuyasha leaned over and kissed her cheek./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Goodnight Kagome." And with that he left./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome turned and went into her apartment. She shut the door and slid down it with a goofy smile on her face. Jakotsu chose that time to walk to the doorway to question how her date went./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I'm assuming it went good?" Jakotsu commented slyly./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome smiled at him and replied, "it was amazing." Then she went to go change./div

div style="outline: none !important;"em style="outline: none !important;" /em/div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome woke up smiling and in a good mood. She got out of bed and went to take a shower when her phone dinged signaling a Text message. Picking up her phone she saw it was a message from Korari./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"'Tomorrow will be our last day in Kyoto we'd like to meet with you today to talk about going forward. Meet us for lunch at Shikon around 1pm?'/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"As Kagome replied confirming she'd be there her happy mood came to a halt. She had such an amazing time with all of them. She didn't want to say goodbye. After reconnecting with her family, she finally started to feel whole. She always felt like something was missing but now she felt complete. Kagome knew she couldn't go back to Tokyo with them. Where would she stay!? She quickly disregarded those thoughts. She knew overthinking would just cause an anxiety attack./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"After a quick shower Kagome dressed it black cargo pants with a pink form fitting t shirt that said 'Babygirl' in rhinestones across the chest. She slipped on a pair of 'triple pink Nike' dunks and brushed her hair, clipping the small section that would be framing her face behind her head with a pink mini butterfly claw clip. She left her face bare, no makeup needed./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Applying some Chapstick as she made sure she had everything in her purse she grabbed a plain white full zip hoodie to battle the cold on her way to check on the restaurant. Jakotsu was managing today but he sounded overwhelmed and since Kagome had to meet her mother there at 1 it would work out. Grabbing her belongings Kagome quickly made her way to the restaurant./div

div style="outline: none !important;"em style="outline: none !important;" /em/div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome walked into the restaurant, and it was not as busy as she thought it'd be. She walked to the office, greeting the other employees as she passed by. Reaching the office, she saw Jakotsu sleeping on the desk. She giggled behind her hand before walking towards him to wake him./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Wakey wakey eggs and Bakey." Kagome sang while shaking his shoulder./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""AH I WASNT SLEEPING!" Jakotsu exclaimed as he shot up. A piece of paper stuck to his cheek./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome couldn't contain it; she busted out laughing./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Ugh! Kaggy that's not funny. I've been losing my mind all morning! Nothing is making sense! I am so conf-wait what are you doing here?" Jakotsu turned to face her./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""To help you. I'm meeting my mother later and I know how much you have paperwork so I'm here to help." Kagome smiled at him, a giggle still playing at her lips./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Oh, thank Kami! Here you go!" Jakotsu quickly got out the desk chair she pushed Kagome into it. Turning her to face the massive pile of paperwork. "I'll get out your hair! Let me go help on the floor!" And with that he ran out the office./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome sighed to herself and started sorting the paperwork. Jakotsu was so confused because this paperwork just needed to be organized by date and filed. She checked the time it was 9am. She should have time. With that she dove right in to organizing the paperwork./div

div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Korari, hi! I didn't realize the time." Kagome greeted./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""No dear, I'm early I wanted to speak with you." Korari smiled at Kagome./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Oh, of course. Is everything okay?" Kagome immediately got worried. Was Korari upset she wouldn't call her mom? Was she tired of her already? Would she tell her father where she's been? Thoughts started to consume Kagome and she could feel a panic attack coming on./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Yes sweetie, don't worry it's nothing bad. I promise." With a warning smile Kagome could feel herself starting to relax./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Okay, what's going on?" Kagome asked./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Well as you know, we're leaving tomorrow, and I know it's short noticed, but we'd love it if you'd come back to Tokyo with us."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome sat shocked she was not exactly expecting that./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Korari continued "You can still work we own several restaurants if you want to work but you by no means have to. We all stay on the clan compound you can have a house built and there's plenty of room in our home. The compound is several homes close together and we have a clan house where Toga and Izzy stay that's where meetings are held and everything. If you don't want to come, I'd completely understand. I would just love to be closer to you so we can continue to get to know each other. I know the DNA results are not back yet but, I KNOW you're my daughter."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome was still in shock, looking at the ground. "What about this restaurant?" Was all she could get out./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Well, Jakotsu is more than welcome to come as well but if he wants to stay, we will make sure there's a second manager here to help him with everything." Korari replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""You've thought everything through?" Kagome smiled./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Of course, honey, so what do you say?"/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome looked at Korari and hugged her tightly. How she crossed the room that fast Korari wasn't going to question. She simply hugged her back./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I'd love to…. Mom" Kagome whispered with tears in her eyes./div

div style="outline: none !important;"It had been 3 days since the dinner with the Shikon clan. Kagome and Korari had immediately connected. Akira and Toga confirmed their scents matching indicating they were related. They still got a DNA test to be sure. Those results would be in within a week. In two days the Shikon clan was to return to Tokyo. Kagome felt so torn. She finally met her mother and was getting to know her, and they were being separated again./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Tonight was her date with Inuyasha. After dinner Inuyasha walked her to her car and invited her on a date. Her heart had fluttered, and she immediately said yes. She had no idea where they were going but he told her to dress casually. She was thankful for that considering every time she went with the Shikon clan it was a formal event./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Grabbing a pair of light wash skinny jeans and a red long sleeve cashmere sweater Kagome started getting ready for her date. She put on her clothes and put on black Ugg boots that had two bows on the back. Searching in her closet she found a long black trench coat that had faux fur on the collar and hems of the sleeves and bottom of the jacket./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome left her hair down falling to the bottom of her back and framing her face. She put on light eyeliner and mascara. Making sure she had everything she needed, and one last look over in the mirror she was ready. Inuyasha had told her he'd pick her up, so she went into the living room to wait for him. Before she could sit down the doorbell rang. Brushing off imaginary dust she quickly opened the door her heart pounding in her chest./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Opening the door stood the handsome hanyou. His silver locks pulled into a high ponytail with his bangs out and two pieces of hair framing hose face. His ears stood tall and twitching at little sounds. His golden eyes bore into hers with intensity as a smug smirk was on his lips with a fang poking out. He wore a red t shirt and black faded jeans with holes in them. On his feet were red and white Nikes. On his left wrist was a silver Rolex watch. In the same hand he held a bouquet of white lilies and red roses./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Good evening gorgeous." He greeted her./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Good evening. You look good." She replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Holding out the flowers towards her he said, "these are for you." With a smile./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome grabbed the flowers with a smile on her face and sniffed them. "Thank you, they're my favorite. Let me put these in a vase and we can go?"/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Sounds good." Was all he replied, smirk still on his face./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome quickly out the flowers in a vase with some water and made her way back to the door where the hanyou was waiting. She smiled at him and told him she was ready. Inuyasha grabbed her hand in his and walked downstairs and out to his car./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Reaching his car Kagome stopped and stared in awe. In front of them was a sleek black Lexus LS 350./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Your car is gorgeous." She commented./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""The lady about to get in it is even more gorgeous." Inuyasha whispered in her ear./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome blushed and looked at him. He simply smirked at her and guided her to the passenger door. Opening the door for her and letting her sit and out her seatbelt on before shutting the door and making his way to the driver's seat. He started the car when she asked him. "So where are we going?"/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Bowling" he replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Really? I've never been bowling. I took you as the kind of guy to have dates at fancy restaurants."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Keh, you're not an ordinary lady. Yeah, a fancy restaurant is nice but one I'm tired of being in a monkey suit and two you seem like the type of girl that appreciates the time more than the place."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome smiled softly. "You are absolutely right."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"The drive was a fairly quick one. They kept themselves busy asking each other questions about the other and telling jokes. When they pulled up to the bowling alley inuyasha got out the car and opened Kagome's door./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""You are quite the gentleman." She smiled at him./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha grabbed her hand and placed a delicate kiss on it. Kagome blushed at the contact and felt her insides turn and ignite a fire inside her. He smirked at her and replied, "I try to be."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"The couple made their way into the bowling alley. Turns out Inuyasha rented out the whole alley. She was appreciative of the privacy. She never fully stopped being scared her father would find her. They got their shoes and bowling balls and made their way to their lane. Kagome vs. Inuyasha who would win?/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha grinned at her and told her he was so far unbeatable. Kagome grinned back and decided to make this a challenge./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Okay, loser has to wear a tiara that says loser at the next Dinner we all attend." Kagome challenged./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha gave a toothy grin and extended his hand. "You're on. Shake on it."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"They shook hands and got into position. Inuyasha let Kagome bowl first. "Ladies first" he said./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome got into position, took a deep breath and swung. The ball rolled down the lane and knocked all the pins over. 'STRIKE' the screen displayed. Kagome turned and smiled at him. "Go ahead puppy."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha gave a playful growl and swung next. He also got a strike. Kagome's next turn she knocked half the pins over and tried to get a spare but ended up with one pin standing. Inuyasha rolled a spare, knowing half down then the other half./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"They continued playing until the game was finished. Two hours later they were neck and neck. Whoever got this last shot was the winner. Inuyasha rolled a spare. Kagome was nervous, not that she was against wearing the looser tiara, she just really wanted to beat the unbeatable hanyou. She looked at the pins, took a deep breath, and rolled. It felt like eternity for the ball the roll down the lane. The ball made contact with the pins. A full strike! Kagome squealed and jumped up and down./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I won! I won! AHA I beat you!" She declared./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha smiled at her. He wrapped a hand around her waist and pulled her close./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I think the winner deserves a prize" he whispered in her ear. Kagome looked up at him. Their eyes meeting./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Oh, and what would that prize be?" She responded. Inuyasha smiled at her gently and leaned his head down./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Their lips met. The kiss was seemingly sweet until Inuyasha swept his tongue against her lips asking for permission. She granted him entrance. Using her own tongue lot lick his fangs. Their tongues battled for dominance, with Inuyasha being the victor. Kagome pulled back slightly and bit his lip taking it with her as she pulled away. Inuyasha growled low in his throat and wrapped a clawed hand behind her head to keep her close./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome moaned into the kiss. She could feel her lower region getting wet with excitement and her nipples press against her bra begging to be touched. Inuyasha slid his hand that was around her waist into her back pocket. Grasping her ass firmly. Kagome moaned again./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Uh…if you guys are finished playing…uh you can do another game…" a meek voice called out to them./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"They separated and looked over at the employee he looked terrified. Behind the counter they could see what the presumed to be the manager watching. He probably sent him over./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""That's fine, we'll be leaving actually." Inuyasha stated as he grasps Kagome's hand and they grabbed their things, returned their bowling shoes and left./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Getting into the car Kagome immediately busted into a fit of giggles. Inuyasha simply smiled at her and soon started chuckling with her./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""He looked so scared!" She cried out in between giggles./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Keh he probably never even kissed a girl let alone had to break two people kissing apart" Inuyasha replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome's giggles died down and she turned to look at him. Smiling brightly, she told him she had an amazing time./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""How about we continue this then? I know I food pizza place not too far?" He suggested./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome's eyes widened at pizza. She loved pizza. She excitedly agreed and they went on their way to the shop./div

div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Inuyasha was walking Kagome to her apartment door./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I had a great time tonight Inuyasha." Kagome said softly./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""As did I." He replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome smiled at him and leaned up on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek. The feel of his broad shoulders under her hand sent a wave of desire through her body. As she was pulling away from his cheek, Inuyasha turned his head and met her lips with his. Wrapping his arms around her waist, bringing her closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Pulling back for air they locked eyes. Kagome smiled lowly at him. Inuyasha leaned over and kissed her cheek./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Goodnight Kagome." And with that he left./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome turned and went into her apartment. She shut the door and slid down it with a goofy smile on her face. Jakotsu chose that time to walk to the doorway to question how her date went./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I'm assuming it went good?" Jakotsu commented slyly./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome smiled at him and replied, "it was amazing." Then she went to go change./div

div style="outline: none !important;"em style="outline: none !important;" /em/div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome woke up smiling and in a good mood. She got out of bed and went to take a shower when her phone dinged signaling a Text message. Picking up her phone she saw it was a message from Korari./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"'Tomorrow will be our last day in Kyoto we'd like to meet with you today to talk about going forward. Meet us for lunch at Shikon around 1pm?'/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"As Kagome replied confirming she'd be there her happy mood came to a halt. She had such an amazing time with all of them. She didn't want to say goodbye. After reconnecting with her family, she finally started to feel whole. She always felt like something was missing but now she felt complete. Kagome knew she couldn't go back to Tokyo with them. Where would she stay!? She quickly disregarded those thoughts. She knew overthinking would just cause an anxiety attack./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"After a quick shower Kagome dressed it black cargo pants with a pink form fitting t shirt that said 'Babygirl' in rhinestones across the chest. She slipped on a pair of 'triple pink Nike' dunks and brushed her hair, clipping the small section that would be framing her face behind her head with a pink mini butterfly claw clip. She left her face bare, no makeup needed./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Applying some Chapstick as she made sure she had everything in her purse she grabbed a plain white full zip hoodie to battle the cold on her way to check on the restaurant. Jakotsu was managing today but he sounded overwhelmed and since Kagome had to meet her mother there at 1 it would work out. Grabbing her belongings Kagome quickly made her way to the restaurant./div

div style="outline: none !important;"em style="outline: none !important;" /em/div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome walked into the restaurant, and it was not as busy as she thought it'd be. She walked to the office, greeting the other employees as she passed by. Reaching the office, she saw Jakotsu sleeping on the desk. She giggled behind her hand before walking towards him to wake him./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Wakey wakey eggs and Bakey." Kagome sang while shaking his shoulder./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""AH I WASNT SLEEPING!" Jakotsu exclaimed as he shot up. A piece of paper stuck to his cheek./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome couldn't contain it; she busted out laughing./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Ugh! Kaggy that's not funny. I've been losing my mind all morning! Nothing is making sense! I am so conf-wait what are you doing here?" Jakotsu turned to face her./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""To help you. I'm meeting my mother later and I know how much you have paperwork so I'm here to help." Kagome smiled at him, a giggle still playing at her lips./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Oh, thank Kami! Here you go!" Jakotsu quickly got out the desk chair she pushed Kagome into it. Turning her to face the massive pile of paperwork. "I'll get out your hair! Let me go help on the floor!" And with that he ran out the office./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome sighed to herself and started sorting the paperwork. Jakotsu was so confused because this paperwork just needed to be organized by date and filed. She checked the time it was 9am. She should have time. With that she dove right in to organizing the paperwork./div

div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Korari, hi! I didn't realize the time." Kagome greeted./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""No dear, I'm early I wanted to speak with you." Korari smiled at Kagome./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Oh, of course. Is everything okay?" Kagome immediately got worried. Was Korari upset she wouldn't call her mom? Was she tired of her already? Would she tell her father where she's been? Thoughts started to consume Kagome and she could feel a panic attack coming on./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Yes sweetie, don't worry it's nothing bad. I promise." With a warning smile Kagome could feel herself starting to relax./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Okay, what's going on?" Kagome asked./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Well as you know, we're leaving tomorrow, and I know it's short noticed, but we'd love it if you'd come back to Tokyo with us."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome sat shocked she was not exactly expecting that./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Korari continued "You can still work we own several restaurants if you want to work but you by no means have to. We all stay on the clan compound you can have a house built and there's plenty of room in our home. The compound is several homes close together and we have a clan house where Toga and Izzy stay that's where meetings are held and everything. If you don't want to come, I'd completely understand. I would just love to be closer to you so we can continue to get to know each other. I know the DNA results are not back yet but, I KNOW you're my daughter."/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome was still in shock, looking at the ground. "What about this restaurant?" Was all she could get out./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Well, Jakotsu is more than welcome to come as well but if he wants to stay, we will make sure there's a second manager here to help him with everything." Korari replied./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""You've thought everything through?" Kagome smiled./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""Of course, honey, so what do you say?"/div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;"Kagome looked at Korari and hugged her tightly. How she crossed the room that fast Korari wasn't going to question. She simply hugged her back./div
div style="outline: none !important;" /div
div style="outline: none !important;""I'd love to…. Mom" Kagome whispered with tears in her eyes./div
