Kagome's Birthday Party by Kogasangel
Kagome's Birthday Party
A/N: This fic is actually based off of an email I received a while ago, but it was with a wedding and not a birthday party. Anyways, I was reminded of it today and this little number came dancing out with my muse. Please enjoy and review. Thanks.
If anyone wants to know about the story behind this, just let me know. I have the email at work and I'll copy it and post it to the forum tomorrow evening when I get home. It's actually quite funny.
~!~
He sat and watched as his younger brother smiled indulgently at the young woman beside him. For nearly five long years, he had watched the young woman bloom from an insecure teenager who was struggling to break free from her elder sister’s shadow to become the vibrant woman she was now. Her beauty aside, she was clearly still very innocent as her views of the world were untainted.
Unlike his. He had been brought up in a life which made him vicious and vindictive. However, from the first time he met her, he knew that she had been made just for him, much like an angel sent to save him and his soul from eternal damnation.
But, fate was unkind and he had watched as the young woman named Kagome fell in love with his half-brother. While he and his half-sibling were not close, he simply had too much honor to attempt to destroy the new-born love his half sibling and Kagome had discovered and so, he sat back and would continue to watch as that love raged into an inferno.
Time passed, as it always does, and more often than not, he found himself watching as his half sibling spent less and less time with Kagome. He had even gone so far as to pretend not to remember events that he was supposed to take Kagome to and would promise that he would make it up to her.
As months slowly went by, he continued to watch as Inu Yasha would sneak away from Kagome and go off on his own. Finally, the temptation grew to be too much and it was at a gathering for Kagome’s twenty-first birthday that he finally decided to act.
Once again, Inu Yasha had forgotten to inform Kagome that he would not be attending the party and on the day of the event, he rushed to his elder half-brother and begged him to appear on his behalf.
“I totally forgot and I don’t even have a present for her.” Inu Yasha said, his hands running through his long hair. “Come on, Sesshomaru. If you do this for me, I’ll let you have anything you want. I swear on my mom’s life. Please?”
He thought for a few minutes, but it was not on Inu Yasha’s request. Instead, he went through a list of what he knew Kagome liked and finally settled on a gift he was sure would please her. Glancing up at his frantic brother, he gave a sharp nod and said, “I will do this for you, but I will reserve my payment for a later date.”
“Thanks!” Inu Yasha said, smiling. “I owe you one, big time.” And, with those words, Inu Yasha sailed out of his office with a large grin. However, he never noticed the smirk that played upon his elder brother’s lips.
Sesshomaru picked up his telephone and when his secretary picked up, he said, “I will be leaving for the day, Nazuna. Have the files for my meeting on my desk by Monday morning and once you have done that, you may have the rest of the day off.”
His secretary thanked him and when they hung up, he got up from his desk and gathered his belongings. If he were to escort Kagome, he would have to make sure that everything was perfect for her special night.
When the time arrived to pick up Kagome, he felt an emotion that he had rarely had the displeasure of experiencing. He was actually nervous and wondered if Kagome would deny his request to be her escort. However, as his car pulled up to her front door, he got out and as he was making his way towards the door, he stopped when it opened and Kagome stepped out.
She never failed to enchant him and this evening was no exception. Kagome was dressed in an ivory colored strapless dress that fit her curves like a second skin. She had a soft smile on her face and when she saw that it was him, and not Inu Yasha, her smile seemed to dim a bit, but then lit up even brighter than before.
“Sesshomaru, you look so nice!” She exclaimed and then turned her back to him in order to close her front door and lock it. Once she was done, she turned to face him and sighed. “I’ve been told that you have been graced with the honor of escorting me. I’m sorry that you were pulled away from whatever you were doing.”
He stepped forward and offered her his arm. When she accepted and wrapped her arm around his, he escorted her back to his car and calmly said, “It was no hardship to escort you. Actually, I am honored to do so.”
Kagome smiled and gave a soft hum before climbing into the car. Once they were both inside and buckled up, he started up the car and pulled out into the street. Kagome was quiet and after a while, she softly said, “Kikyou is in town.”
“Is she?” Sesshomaru replied and glanced over at the young woman. Because she had her hair down, it was hard for him to judge if this was a pleasant turn of events or not. “How is she doing?”
Kagome’s head lifted and she shrugged. “You know, as kids and teenagers, I was always envious of Kikyou because she possessed this self-confidence that I didn’t have. As we got older, I realized that the person she was becoming was not the same kind of person I wanted to be. My parents often praised me for finding someone like Inu Yasha and I think that deep down, Kikyou resented the attention I received because of my relationship with him.” She confided, though she didn’t understand why she was sharing this with Sesshomaru of all people.
She looked over at the man beside her and mentally approved of his attire. To say he was gorgeous would have been an insult. He was far beyond gorgeous and when Inu Yasha told her that it would be Sesshomaru who was escorting her and not him, she had felt a spark of anxiety because nothing that she wore or did to herself would match his own looks. In fact, beside him, she felt plain and unattractive.
He felt her eyes upon him and fought the urge to smirk. He knew that he looked good and he was very proud of his physique. But, he also knew that unlike him, Kagome was a bit more insecure about herself and he decided that it was time she learned just how attractive she was.
Kagome glanced around and frowned. Sesshomaru had turned onto the highway instead of going downtown where the party was being held. He must have sensed her confusion because he said, “We have some time before your party starts and I am hungry. I know of a restaurant that serves the best steaks in Tokyo.
A bright smile crossed her lips and he turned his eyes towards the road. After a few more minutes of comfortable silence, he decided to break it. “Your sister sounds as though she is jealous of you. I would not be concerned over it. You have done much with your life as she, from what I understand, has gone from man to man looking for something better.” He said as he pulled off of the highway and towards their destination. “Is your sister going to be at your party?”
“She said that she was and that she had a big surprise for me.” Kagome murmured, but didn’t inform him on how uneasy she was to learn what the big surprise was. “Inu Yasha said that he would meet us at the party, but that he could not stay for very long.”
“I see.” Sesshomaru said as he pulled up to a very high class restaurant and watched as the valet quickly came over and opened Kagome’s door before helping her out of the car. He gave his keys to the valet and whispered that there would be dire consequences if his car held even so much as a scratch on it when it was returned to him. The valet gulped and gave a quick nod before slipping into the car and driving it to where it would be parked.
Sesshomaru didn’t see Kagome’s mouth turn into a frown when she noticed a familiar car sitting close to the restaurant. For now, she would keep her mouth shut and if she noticed anything, she would handle it then.
Sesshomaru escorted her into the restaurant and they were quickly seated at a table by the window. Once their orders had been taken, they engaged in small talk while waiting on their food. He sat back in his chair and froze when he noticed his younger brother sitting at a table with a young woman who resembled Kagome. They were laughing as they fed each other from their plates.
Sesshomaru’s golden eyes slid back over towards Kagome, who was smiling and staring out of the window. He did not want her special night ruined and when their meal arrived, he glanced down at his watched and informed Kagome that they were going to be late if they did not hurry.
Kagome’s puzzled expression made his stomach churn as he called to the waiter to hurry up with the bill. They ate in silence and when they were finished, he gave his credit card to the waiter and quickly settled the bill.
He helped Kagome up from her seat and maneuvered his body so that Kagome would not catch sight of his half-brother and her sister betraying her. Kagome simply allowed him to lead her out of the restaurant and then into the car once the valet had driven it around.
As he drove away from the restaurant, he thought of several ways to pay his half-brother back, but decided that once the party was over, he would inform Kagome of what he had seen.
Kagome glanced over at her companion and said, “Sango and Ayame did a great job of decorating the hall for the party. I got to see it earlier today when I showed up to set up a surprise that I’ve been cooking up for a few weeks.”
Glancing over at her, he allowed a small smile to grace his lips and then reached over to pat her hand. “You are a wonderful woman, Kagome.” He said and then frowned. “I just hope my half-brother knows what he has.”
Kagome laughed, and the sound reminded him of tinkling bells. “Oh, I think that by the end of tonight, he is going to know just what kind of woman I am.” She said and before he could draw his hand away, she grasped his hand and entwined her fingers with his.
He felt his body heat up at her touch, but when she didn’t pull away, he moved their hands to rest on his lap and allowed his thumb to make small circles on her skin. For him, this moment made up for the rushed dinner that his half-brother had ruined for him.
When they arrived at the party, Kagome glowed as she walked into the reception room on Sesshomaru’s arm. He could see the shocked expressions on his father’s and her friends’ faces, but he did not care. She was his for the evening and he would take full advantage of it.
After about an hour of greeting her guests, Kagome’s hand tightened on his arm and he turned to see his half-brother walking towards them, a smile on his face.
“There’s my sweet girl.” Inu Yasha said as he pulled her away from Sesshomaru and into his arms. “Are you enjoying yourself?” He asked as he pulled away to take a good look at her in her dress.
Kagome smiled and nodded. “Very much. Sesshomaru has been wonderful to me and even took me to dinner before the party.” She said and then grinned. “Kikyou is here!”
Inu Yasha’s smile faded a bit as his girlfriend rushed forward to meet her sister. As the sisters talked, Sesshomaru leaned down and said, “I know what you’ve been doing.”
Inu Yasha glanced up at his elder half-brother and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“It is true that I took Kagome to dinner. In fact, it seems you and I have the same taste in restaurants. I saw you and her whore of a sister at Youkai Winds.” Sesshomaru replied, disdain practically dripping from every single word.
Inu Yasha’s eyes widened and he quickly looked over at Kagome only to see Kikyou staring at him lustfully. It was clear that the elder sister was not listening to Kagome and was trying to catch his attention.
“Kagome didn’t see us, did she?” Inu Yasha asked. Despite everything, it was not his intention to spoil his girlfriend’s birthday.
Sesshomaru sneered down at his half-idiot and said, “I made sure that she did not see you. I don’t want to see her harmed in any way.”
Inu Yasha’s head snapped around and he stared up at Sesshomaru, “I don’t want her harmed, either.” He insisted. “It’s just that Kikyou and I have this amazing chemistry and I just don’t think that the spark between me and Kagome is as strong. I am trying to sort this out and I’m trying to make sure that Kagome isn’t hurt.”
“You may be concerned regarding Kagome, but her bitch of a sister is not.” Sesshomaru replied. “That female doesn’t care whom she hurts just as long as she gets what she wants. Right now, she wants you because Kagome has received quite a bit of attention from her family regarding your relationship. A word of advice, brother, is hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
Inu Yasha snorted. “Even if Kagome did find out, she wouldn’t do anything.” He snapped, angrily. “It’s clear that you know nothing about Kagome. It doesn’t matter how angry she gets, she will never walk away from me.”
Sesshomaru watched as his half-brother stalked off. Kagome came back over to where he stood. “Kikyou had to take a phone call.” She said and smiled when he extended his hand to her. Once her hand was firmly within his, he began to lead her over to where her friends stood.
When the music finally died down, the DJ said, “All right, everyone. Please take your seats because the birthday girl has an announcement to make.”
Kagome blushed prettily and made her way towards the stage. All around her, people were whistling and clapping. As she finally came to a stop before the microphone, she gazed out at the crowd and motioned to the crowd to quiet down.
“I would like to thank everyone who came to my party. This means so much to me and I can’t tell you just how humbled I am to have friends and family who care about me so much.” Kagome said, smiling.
“Because you care so much about me, I wanted to make sure that you are all aware of some changes that will be going on in my life and that I am finally free of burdens that have held me back for so long. So, with that being said, I would ask all of you to please reach underneath your chairs and retrieve the envelopes that I have placed there for this occasion. However, I ask that you do not open them just yet.” Kagome said in a teasing voice.
Once everyone held an envelope, Kagome smiled and said, “I have many people to thank tonight. First and foremost, I would like to thank Sesshomaru for escorting me this evening. I know just how busy you are, but that you gave up your time for me has made me very happy. I’d like to thank Sango and Ayame for their awesome decorating skills and Miroku who I only had to smack twice. I’d like to thank Kouga, Ginta, and Hakkaku who graciously offered this reception room. I’d like to thank both my parents as well as Lord and Lady Taisho for their continued love and support. Finally, I would like to request that my sister, Kikyou, and my boyfriend, Inu Yasha, please stand up as this surprise is sure to be one that the both of you remember for a long time.
The crowd applauded as Inu Yasha and Kikyou stood up, their envelopes still in their hands. Kagome smiled at the two of them and then glanced over at a pair of young men who were leaning against the wall.
“I forgot to thank two other people, Bankotsu and Hiten. Because without them, this little surprise would not have been possible. Inu Yasha and Kikyou, would the both of you do the honors in opening your envelopes first and once theirs are open, everyone else may open theirs.” Kagome instructed, her eyes trained upon the two people before her.
Kikyou ripped into her envelope and pulled out the contents. Her face quickly lost color as she gazed upon the pictures in her hand. Inu Yasha pulled out his set of pictures and his mouth opened in shock. As the other people opened their envelopes, Kagome could hear their gasps and murmurs as they, too, saw the pictures and then glanced over at the two standing before them.
Sesshomaru went through each picture slowly and had to hand it to Kagome. When the girl wanted to get back at someone, she did a fantastic job. Each picture had Inu Yasha and Kikyou in a very compromising position and it was clear from the dates on the pictures that their affair had been going on for a very long time.
Kagome smirked when Kikyou’s eyes turned toward her. Kagome watched as Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru’s father stood up and approached his son. The elder Taisho was furious and his younger son wisely began to back away.
Kagome stepped back to the microphone and called for everyone to be quiet. When there was complete silence, Kagome addressed Inu Yasha and Kikyou. “If you think that I am so stupid that I would not realize what was going on, then it is the two of you who are stupid.” She snapped angrily. “Just to let the two of you know, I’ve known both Bankotsu and Hiten for a very long time and it was Bankotsu who informed me of what was going on. He saw the two of you in Kyoto when he was there for a business trip and actually followed the two of you into a hotel. Because he cares about me, he refused to let me play the fool. That is what you do when you care for someone. And, it was Hiten who kindly offered his assistance in following the two of you around town. However, I must say that in all fairness, the two of you made their jobs very easy.”
Taking a deep breath, Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru. “Inu Yasha, you had Sesshomaru escort me here tonight because you were meeting up with Kikyou. What Sesshomaru didn’t know is that I recognized your car when I saw it parked near the restaurant entrance. He also didn’t realize that you were sitting at a table that allowed me to see you in a mirror that was next to our table. He did his best to make sure that I didn’t see you so that my birthday would not be ruined. He is a far better man than you, Inu Yasha.” Kagome said. “My only regret is that he was not the one I met first.”
As her now former boyfriend sat down in his chair, Kagome turned her anger onto her sister. “I actually looked up to you.” Kagome said, though the anger she held for Inu Yasha softened into sadness and disappointment. “I never realized just how petty and insignificant you truly are until now. I’ve wasted so much time trying to help you and all you were doing was looking for ways to stab me in the back. Well, you will never get the opportunity to do so again. As of this minute, you are no longer welcomed around me, Kikyou. In fact, from this moment on, I don’ t have a sister. You used to be someone I could go to and who would never think to hurt me, but some time ago, that sister died and you replaced her. I’d rather remember the Kikyou from when we were kids and not some whore who will do just about anything to get what she wants. You wanted Inu Yasha and now you can have him without all of the sneaking around.”
Kikyou slowly nodded and leaned over towards Inu Yasha, “Let’s get out of here.” She said and when he stood up, she glanced over her shoulder at her sister. “You weren’t woman enough to keep him, Kagome. You didn’t know how to satisfy him.”
“Well, that may be true, but now he has you and from what I know about you, you’ve had more than enough practice on how to satisfy a man. At least until he runs out of money, that is.” Kagome replied and motioned towards Sango and Ayame to sit down. “She isn’t worth it.”
Inu Yasha stood up and said, “It didn’t have to come out like this. How dare you humiliate me in front of my family!”
Before Kagome could reply, Sesshomaru stood up and said, “How dare you go behind her back, sleep with her sister, and then return to her. It is you who are in the wrong, Inu Yasha. Do not place blame upon Kagome for calling you out on the actions of you and her sister.”
Inu Yasha glared over at his elder brother, but froze when his father calmly said, “You and Kikyou need to leave, Inu Yasha. You have brought enough shame to my family with your actions and you will not do it any further. However, I want you to know that this family will never accept Kikyou should you decide to engage in a relationship with her. Kagome is still our daughter, even if she is not with you.”
Inu Yasha slowly nodded. His father basically informed him that no matter what happens with Kikyou, his family would deny her and anything that resulted from their union. Glancing over his shoulder, he watched as Sesshomaru moved to Kagome’s side before gently smoothing back a piece of hair that had fallen over her shoulder.
As he left the reception room, he realized that not only did he lose a good relationship, but his family had sided with Kagome. Bowing his head, he followed Kikyou out into the night and didn’t look back.
~!~
As Sesshomaru drove, Kagome glanced over at him and asked, “How tired are you?”
Lifting his eyebrow, he replied, “I am not tired.” When she suggested that they drive down to the beach, he nodded and began driving towards the beach. Once they arrived at the beach, Kagome got out of the car, minus her shoes, and waited for him to join her.
As they walked, Kagome said, “I’ve known for a while. In fact, once Bankotsu informed me of what was going on, I stopped having sex with him. I suppose he just figured that my refusal of him gave him license to go and hump Kikyou.”
He reached out and took a hold of her hand. “He would have used any excuse.” Sesshomaru said as he glanced down at her. “As long as he was able to do what he wanted, he would have never stopped the affair.”
“I know.” Kagome said, but then stopped in her tracks. “But, if I am to be honest, I don’t really care that he cheated. I am angry that he was so sneaky about it and that Kikyou only did it because she wanted to prove that she could and that she was jealous, but what we had was not something that would have been something that lasted a lifetime.”
He stared down at Kagome, but then said, “If you knew that, why did you date him for so long?”
“I wanted to prove to myself that I was capable of being in a relationship with someone. I suppose you think that it is silly, but I couldn’t have the one I wanted, so I went for the one who wanted me.” She explained softly.
He stepped closer to her, his large hand gently tilting her chin up so that she looked him in the eyes. “Who was the one you wanted, Kagome.” He asked quietly.
Kagome smiled and stepped closer to him, her body instantly warming when it came into contact with his. “I used to watch you when you would bring your work home and you looked so stressful and I used to wish that for once, you didn’t have the worries that always seemed to be upon your back. For a long time, Inu Yasha used to say that if there were anyone who could take me from him, it would be you. I used to laugh and tell him to stop being so insecure, but deep down, I knew that what he said was true.”
Sesshomaru pulled away from her slightly and narrowed his eyes. “I refuse to be used as a replacement, Kagome.”
Shaking her head, Kagome whispered, “You have it all wrong, Sesshomaru. You are not his replacement; he was yours.”
Kagome didn’t have time to continue her explanation. Instead, a warm pair of lips crashed down onto hers and effectively silenced her. When she felt the tip of his tongue upon her bottom lip, she immediately opened her mouth to him and allowed him to taste every inch of her mouth.
She didn’t know how they returned to his car, but when she was lifted onto the hood of the car and pushed onto her back, she decided that she didn’t care how they got there. He continued to kiss her and when her dress was pushed up to her hips, she moaned at the feel of his fingertips tracing around the edge of her panties.
Sesshomaru finally had her! The woman he wanted was finally his and he was not going to let her go. Now she would see why he was superior to his half-brother and not just in the office. He allowed his index finger to stroke her through the fabric of her panties and he was surprised at how wet she had become. The entire crotch of her panties were soaked.
Kagome’s eyes snapped opened when she felt his hot breath against her thigh and she looked down to see Sesshomaru’s eyes trained upon hers. Making sure that her eyes didn’t stray, he allowed his tongue to slip out and slowly travel from her core to her clit. Despite the fact that her panties were still on, he didn’t seem to mind that fact because his eyes closed as though he were savoring her flavor.
She could feel his hands slide up to her hips and then tighten as he pulled her down the hood of his car so that he would have better access to her. When she was where he wanted her, Kagome heard the sharp rip of fabric and lifted her head in time to see him bring her panties to his nose for a good, long sniff.
When his eyes moved back to hers, Kagome only had a moment’s notice from the smirk upon his lips that he was about to do something naughty and cried out when he buried his face into her crotch. His talented tongue moved around her, learning her, as he altered his movements so that she could never guess what he was going to do next.
Climax after climax hit her as she struggled from the onslaught of his passion. When he finally decided that it was time to care for his own needs, he gave her a moment to rest as he slowly moved up her body to kiss her.
Even though her juices remained upon his lips, Kagome found herself addicted to the combination of her flavor mixed with his. While she had been with Inu Yasha, the thought of kissing him after he had gone down on her made her sick, but with this man, she couldn’t bring herself to care. As he kissed her, she felt his hands lifting her in order to get to the zipper of her dress and once he had pulled it down, his hands moved to push the bodice down so that he could get to her breasts.
His mouth followed his hands and Kagome’s fingers found purchase in his long hair. His teeth gently nipped at a tightened nipple while his hand massaged and tested the weight of the remaining breast. She startled a bit when she felt him move between her legs and realized that he had released his cock from its confines and he was now preparing himself to enter her by allowing her juices to coat him.
Once he was ready, he pulled away from her breast, pulled her from the car and turned her so that she was now lying on her belly against the hood of the car. Kagome panted as she tried to grind back against him, but his large hands and body kept her from moving. His hand reached down and lifted her right leg onto the bumper of his car and once she was in position, he moved into alignment with her and thrust all the way to the hilt.
Kagome cried out as she felt him fill her, but when she reached over her head and was able to tangle her fingers in his hair, she turned her head and found his lips waiting for her.
His thrusts were deep and strong. Each time he would return to her, she felt his tip kiss her cervix. His left hand made its way between her legs and as he fucked her, his fingers made sure to massage and gently pinch her clit until she came hard for him.
Kissing her once more, he pulled back from her and wrapped his arm around her so that she was unable to move. He made her rest her head against the hood of his car and then began to roughly impale her as he struggled for his own completion.
As his climax came rushing towards him, he could not help but think that all those years of waiting for her had been well worth it and when he finally began to coat her womb with his seed, he vowed to never let her go, even if he had to bind her to him. She had wanted him and now she had him and he was never going to make the same mistake that his foolish half-brother had made.
~!~
Inu Yasha watched Kagome’s house and nervously checked the time. The party had been over for several hours, yet Kagome was not home. It had been his intention to apologize for his behavior and for breaking her heart, but now, it was also his intention to ask her to forgive him and to not leave him.
Screwing Kikyou had been a major mistake. Once they had left the party, Kikyou screamed at him that it was all his fault that she was now a laughing stock and that he was not to ever speak to her again. She, of course, forgot that it was she who had approached him and that it was she who had convinced him that Kagome was not the one for him.
But, now as he waited, he decided that she had probably stayed over at a friend’s house and that she would probably not be home for some time to come. He made the decision to drive over to Sesshomaru’s house to speak with him about how to get back into Kagome’s good graces.
After all, they were family and Sesshomaru knew how much he loved Kagome, even if he had not shown it for a while. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and was greeted by Jaken, Sesshomaru’s retainer. The small man stepped aside and led him into the living room. Inu Yasha was about to sit down, but froze when he noticed a small purse sitting on a chair. Walking over, he picked up the purse and examined it, then paled when he recognized it as a purse that Kagome owned.
He dropped the purse in the chair and was about to run up the stairs but was stopped when he saw Sesshomaru coming towards him.
“Where is she?” Inu Yasha snapped, his anger growing by the minute. “You asshole! You took advantage of her, didn’t you?”
Sesshomaru shrugged. “I think that she is the one who took advantage of me, actually.” He replied, his tone dry. “However, it really doesn’t matter since we both enjoyed the end results.”
Inu Yasha’s mouth formed a hard line and he cried, “You knew that I loved her, so why would you do this?”
“Because I wanted him to.” A soft reply came causing the two men to look up to watch Kagome descending the stairs in one of Sesshomaru’s shirts.
“Because you wanted him to.” Inu Yasha repeated. He began to shake as her words filtered through his brain. “How long has this been going on?”
Kagome moved over to Sesshomaru and allowed him to pull her to his side. Though he remained quiet, she knew that he would take full control of the situation if she could not handle it.
“I’ve loved him for a very long time. But, we got together last night.” She answered, causing Inu Yasha to stagger back as though he had been slapped.
He glanced from Kagome to Sesshomaru and a realization came rushing to him. Never before had Kagome ever cuddled him like she was cuddling his brother now. As he took a good look at the new couple before him, it was clear that Kagome was telling the truth about how she felt about Sesshomaru and from the way he was holding her, Sesshomaru felt the same.
Without another word, Inu Yasha turned on his heel and left his brother’s home. When he was gone, Sesshomaru glanced down at Kagome, who was smiling.
“What has you so happy?” He asked, though he had a good idea of why she was happy.
Kagome looked up at her lover and shrugged. “I am with the man that I loved and the man who betrayed me knows what he has lost. What is there not to be happy about?” She relied and then gave him a saucy wink before slipping out of his arms and headed towards the stairs. She unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing and cast a glance over her shoulder.
“Coming?” She asked as she allowed the material to fall to the floor at her feet before she started up the stairs and towards his bedroom.
Lifting an eyebrow at her antics, he said, “Indeed.”
As he followed Kagome into his bedroom, he was sure of two things: 1) His Kagome was full of surprises and 2) It was never wise to anger his Kagome. He was pretty sure that his half-brother and her sister were learning that lesson well.
