Sesshomaru led them up to the door and knocked before Kagome could change her mind. He saw the look in her eyes, like a deer caught in headlights. But he knew that in order for them to work she would have to face her fear sometime; and that time just happened to be now.

Mrs. Higurashi opened the door to see her older daughter’s fiancée standing in the door. “Welcome Mr. Taisho, to what do I owe the honor.”

“Hi mama,” came a voice from behind him. Mrs. Higurashi peeked over to see Kagome stepping out from behind him.

“Oh good, Kagome, you’ve come at a wonderful time. We were just discussing your sister’s wedding. Come in, come in.” And with that Mrs. Higurashi ushered them in and towards the kitchen. “Kikyo, Inuyasha, look who came.”

“What the hell are you doing here,” Inuyasha exclaimed seeing his half-brother standing in the kitchen doorway. “Shouldn’t you be slaving away in your office?”

Sesshomaru growled, but said nothing as Kagome, once again, walked around towards his side. “Good evening, Kikyou. Inuyasha.” Kagome said nodding her head at each of them After Kagome walked around everyone seemed to freeze, each one dancing around the other’s emotion, tension building in the air. It was quickly becoming suffocating.

“I just want you both to know, I’m happy for you. Especially now that I don’t need you Inu, instead I found Sesshomaru, who as of this evening, I am happily engaged to,” Kagome said, a calm, aloof mask on her face, copying Sesshomaru. And with that the tension broke and all hell broke loose.
