Chapter 10: Reunions

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked dumbly. He thought he was dreaming. There was Kagome, his Kagome, hand in hand with….. Sesshoumaru?!

"Hello Inuyasha." Kagome said smiling. She was surprised with her reaction. Then her voice took on a false sweetness, bringing a smile to Sesshoumaru's face. "And Kikyo! My dear cousin, how are you?"

"Fine" Kikyo said tersely. This was not how it was supposed to be. Kagome was supposed to be a broken mess, not holding happily onto Inuyasha's brother.

"Well aren't you as bitchy as ever." Kagome smiled sweetly. She didn't feel as brave as she sounded. Sesshoumaru must have felt this, because he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. Kagome sent him a real smile. Sesshoumaru smiled back.

Inuyasha caught all of this. He couldn't believe how beautiful Kagome looked. He also couldn't believe that she was with his brother.

Meanwhile, back in the apartment, Sango and Miroku heads shot up at Inuyasha's earlier question. Sango raced to the door, Miroku right behind her. She was about to leap onto Kagome when she saw the intertwined hands. A sly smile spread over her face. "Look at you. And here I was worried about you."

Miroku came up behind Sango. A silly grin came over his face. "A business trip, eh? What kind of business were you up to?" Sango smacked him. When he recovered, he was a bit shaky, but the cheesy grin remained. Kagome shook her head, and unconsciously leaned up against Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru instantly snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. Sango's smile widened at the public display of affection. Her smile also became evil when she saw the way Inuyasha watched the two. This was going to be a great night. "Why don't we all….."

"Kagome!!!" the forgotten child lunged into Kagome's arms. For once Inuyasha was grateful to the runt, because when Shippou entered Kagome's arms, she and Sesshoumaru broke apart. He didn't know how much more of that he could take. "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too, sweetie." Kagome said. She smiled at the child. Shippou beamed.

"Let's go inside." Sango said. Kagome entered carrying Shippou, Sesshoumaru close behind her, his hand lingering on her waist. Inuyasha followed, his eyes on Kagome and nothing else. Sango smirked at the door and stuck her foot out. Inuyasha fell flat to the ground with a crash. Kagome and Sesshoumaru turned. Sango was trying and failing to hold back her laugh. Kagome burst out laughing, knowing very well what Sango did. Sesshoumaru smirked. Kikyo moved to enter the apartment, but Sango blocked her way.

"Excuse me." Kikyo said coldly, her tone quickly silencing Kagome's laughter.

"I am sorry, but we don't allow whores in here." Sango said calmly. Kikyo's eyes narrowed.

Inuyasha growled as he lifted himself off the ground. "Sango…" he said warningly.

"Let her in." Kagome said calmly.

"What was that?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"What was that?" Inuyasha asked. (Hahaha if you don't get that I'm sorry)

"Let her in." Sango looked ready to argue, but stopped herself when she saw the gleam in Kagome's eyes. She allowed herself a small smile. The night just got even funnier. Kikyo walked in trying to look high and mighty. By then, Inuyasha had peeled himself off the ground. Kagome and Sesshoumaru had sat down on the couch and, to Inuyasha's irritation, were whispering and laughing about something. He sat in a chair across from them. Kikyo sent Kagome a glare as she snuggled into Inuyasha's lap. Sango rolled her eyes and sat down on the opposite end of the couch. Miroku got an idea, "Drinks anyone?" He got a flurry of responses, including, to his delight. Kikyo's. As he went to get the drinks, an awkward silence loomed. Inuyasha watched Sesshoumaru and Kagome closely. Kikyo glared at Kagome. Kagome just smiled at both and turned to talk to Sango. Inuyasha transferred his glare to Sesshoumaru, who just smirked and gave Kagome's waist an intimate squeeze. Kagome, oblivious to the tension, turned to give Sesshoumaru a beautiful smile. Inuyasha's anger faltered and he found himself wishing with all his heart that that smile was directed at him.

Miroku returned with the drinks. Only Sango saw his smile. She smiled in return. Miroku handed Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Sango their drinks. He noticed Sango's knowing smile and winked. He made his way over to Inuyasha and Kikyo. As he rounded the table he tripped and spilled the drinks. Had Kikyo not been the only one affected, this could have been purely accidental. But seeing as all three drinks landed on Kikyo, it had been planned. While Sango and Kagome held back laughs, Miroku said sorry and plopped down next to Sango. Kikyo got out of the chair furiously glaring at Miroku. Kagome let out a snort when she saw the front of Kikyo's shirt. "You're sorry?" she shouted. "Can you at least help me at all?"

"It was an accident." Miroku said innocently.

"An accident?! What. Do you think I am that stupid?"

"Yeah" Sango said, her tone filling in the "duh". "Let me see, if kissing your cousin's boyfriend isn't enough, just being here while she is and thinking that you fit in already marks you as village idiot." Sango then glared at Inuyasha, "But, then again, you are dating the biggest idiot in the state, so you two fit really well together." Kikyo fumed and Inuyasha growled. He opened his mouth to say something when Kagome cut him off.

"Do you have something to say Inuyasha?" Kagome said calmly, but her friends could see the anger in her eyes. "Are you going to deny it? Are you telling me that her kissing you while we were still going out is not stupid? Or that you leaving with Kikyo and not coming back all night not even dumber? I may have left, but you could have tried to find me. Sesshoumaru did." She ended her tirade with a confidence none in the room had ever seen. For the first time in the relationship between her and Inuyasha, she was completely sure about something. Sango, had she not been so shocked, would have laughed at the look on Inuyasha's face. Sesshoumaru recovered first. Any doubts he had about this first meeting between Kagome and Inuyasha vanished. He resisted the urge to kiss her.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said softly. "Do you really mean that? I mean, you left Kag."

"Yes, Inuyasha. I left. But you didn't come after me." Kagome said just as softly.

"I was held back by every guy in the restaurant!" Kagome was not going to blame this on him. (*sigh*)

"Inuyasha, you could have sent those men through the walls if you had wanted to bad enough. The instant you said "Keh" in the restaurant, you made your decision." Kagome said still very calm.

Kikyo realized that she had been forgotten. She began to make her presence known again. "HELLO? What about me? Doesn't anyone care that I am soaked?"

"No" Sesshoumaru and Sango said simultaneously.

"That's your boyfriend's job." Miroku said.

Inuyasha got up, still watching Kagome. "Fine. Come on."

They went into Inuyasha's room. Kagome never gave them a second glance. Sango turned on Kagome the minute the door closed. "Wow! That was amazing! I am so proud of you!" Kagome smiled. Sesshoumaru kissed the top of her head.

"Sango's right. That was amazing. One more reason on my list of why I love you." As Kagome smiled up at Sesshoumaru, Kikyo and Inuyasha came back into the room. Inuyasha felt his heart tighten in his chest at the smile Kagome was giving Sesshoumaru. He didn't miss how Sesshoumaru's face softened as he looked at Kagome.

The two sat down in the chair again, Kikyo getting close to Inuyasha. Sango huffed and muttered "slut" under her breath. Kagome broke the silence.

"So, Kikyo, did you get all that you wanted and more?" Kagome already knew the answer. She didn't know why she asked, she just did. Kikyo smiled triumphantly, thinking she had one up on Kagome.

"Oh yes my dear cousin." Kikyo said seductively. Sango fought the urge to gag. Kikyo's eyes glittered evilly. The rest of the room watched the two, not knowing what was going on.

Kagome nodded to herself. She now had no regrets at all. Inuyasha obviously made his choice. "Good" she said to Kikyo's surprise. Kagome reached and grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand and squeezed it warmly. She looked directly into Kikyo's eyes. "So did I."

The room was silent. Kikyo stood up. "I don't really want to be here right now. Want to go to my place?" She asked. This was her last ditch effort to hurt Kagome.

To her surprise and fury, Inuyasha shook his head. "No thanks, Kikyo. I am going to stay here tonight."

Kikyo was pissed. She grabbed all her stuff and stormed to the door. When she opened it, Kagome stopped her.

"Wait Kikyo." She got up smoothly and walked over to the door. She leaned in and whispered something in Kikyo's ear. Nobody could hear it but the look on Kikyo's face was classic. Kagome shoved her the rest of the way out and slammed the door in her face. She sank to the floor laughing. "God, where is a camera when you need one. The look on her face was priceless." The others looked at her, confused, while she laughed happily.

"What did you say?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Kagome giggled then pulled herself together. "Oh, I'll tell you later, when immature ears aren't listening." Every pair of eyes in the room turned to Inuyasha, almost willing him to leave so they could find out what sweet Kagome said.

Kagome looked at her watch. "Oh! Princess Bride started 30 minutes ago on HBO. Come on!" She ran towards the remote eagerly. Everyone else in the room groaned, and Sango snatched the remote before Kagome could get it.

"Kag, sweetie, we watched that movie like two nights ago." Sesshoumaru said from the couch, his last comment earning him surprised glances from Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. Miroku spoke first.

"Ahhh, but the question is, did you two actually watch the movie?" Miroku smiled. Sango smacked him.

Sesshoumaru decided to have a little fun with Kagome and, indirectly, Inuyasha. He looked Miroku in the eye and with a small smile said, "Some of it, not all." Kagome turned around and smacked him.

"You pervert!" Kagome lifted her arm to smack him again, but Sesshoumaru grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into his lap. He put on a hurt puppy face and asked, "What, are you embarrassed?"

"No!" Kagome said quickly, turning around to face him. "No, of course I am not embarrassed." She smiled at him and turned to Sango, who had an amused smile on her face. "No, Sango, Sango listen. I fell asleep, promise, I fell asleep." Sango nodded, but the smile stayed. Inuyasha looked uncomfortable with the whole conversation. Miroku, though, wasn't ready to give up.

"So, you two didn't do anything during the movie, but by Kagome's hasty denial, I assume you two………" Miroku ended the sentence suggestively. Kagome groaned and dug her head into Sesshoumaru's chest, which didn't help her too much.

"Sesshoumaru, stand up for me, come on, boyfriends should stand up for their girlfriends."

"Oh, but Kag honey, I am not going to lie for you." Kagome's gasp was lost in Sango and Miroku's laughter. Inuyasha just looked shocked. Kagome fought to get out of Sesshoumaru's lap, but he wouldn't let her go. He just pulled her closer. "Kagome, I am sorry, don't be mad. We were just playing. They know that." Kagome finally melted into his embrace and leaned her head back onto his shoulder.

Inuyasha, not liking this at all, said, "Why don't we just watch Princess Bride." He turned on the TV and tried to ignore the comfy couple near him.

Kagome managed to stay awake for all of it, but barely. She was half asleep on Sesshoumaru's lap by the end.

"Keg, we have a problem." Sango said wearily from the couch.

"Umm, we do?" Kagome replied, snuggling further into Sesshoumaru's warmth.

"Yeah. I sure can't drive home safely tonight and you are in worse condition."\

Miroku jumped in. "You girls can stay here tonight."

Kagome jumped up, instantly awake. "You are joking right? She looked at Sango who was yawning at Miroku's side. "I can drive." She finished lamely.

"Kag, if anyone here should be complaining, it's me. Now, we really have to. I'll sleep on the couch. You can sleep in Sesshoumaru's room." Sango knew nothing would happen between the two, which is why she was okay with this. The couch wouldn't be too bad….

Kagome was pretty awake now, but she knew Sango had a point. She shrugged. "Whatever."

"But Sango, dear, you don't have to sleep on the couch. I have a perfectly good bed." Miroku asked hopefully.

Sango snorted. "Yeah, like I would sleep in that room with you voluntarily." She turned to Sesshoumaru. "You don't mind, do you?"

To Miroku's glee, Sesshoumaru just gave a small smile and shook his head. Kagome looked from Sango to Sesshoumaru and back. "If I didn't already know for sure that you hadn't known I was coming back, I would say this was planned."

Sango just smiled. "Of course it wasn't planned. Wouldn't dream of it."

Sesshoumaru got up. "Kagome, you want to come with me to get my stuff from your car and we can grab a change of clothes for you?"

"Of course!" Kagome said happily, holding out her hand for someone to help her up. Inuyasha moved to help, but Sesshoumaru easily beat him to it.

"We'll be back in a little!" Kagome threw over her shoulder as they walked to the door. Inuyasha opened his mouth to offer to help, but Miroku quickly put his hand over Inuyasha's mouth to stop the comment.

"No problem. Have fun you two!" Miroku said suggestively.

Sesshoumaru smirked and put his arm around Kagome. "Don't worry." Kagome hit him.

"You are getting to be just as bad as Miroku, you pervert." The two bantered back and forth out the door. When the door shut behind them, Inuyasha swore explosively.

Miroku and Sango just sat back. "Wow" Sango said. "I thought that would be more difficult. Who knew the two would get together on their own?"

"Yeah, that is sure to be a great story. I'm sure, though, that your well placed comments were vital, my dear Sango." Miroku sighed.

Inuyasha's brain slowly worked out what they were saying. "Wait, you two set them up?"

"Wee, not technically," Miroku stated. "We planned to, but the two did it all by themselves."

"What? You planned to? Why? She's mine." Inuyasha shouted.

Sango's temper flared. "She's yours? Are you joking?! You are the one who shacked up with her cousin every night since she left! And you have the balls to call her yours? I don't think so."

"Keh. You don't know what you are talking about Sango. We love each other. Her relationship with my dumb brother is just s fling, a rebound while she gets over me." He sat back, trying to look superior.

Sango giggled. "Yeah, Inuyasha, that's all it is. A fling. Because she still looks like she is totally in love with you. The way she told you off, the way she cuddled with Sesshoumaru, yep yep she is completely in love with you. In my opinion, I think she is in love with him. I never saw her fool around with you like that."

Inuyasha huffed and sat back, impatiently waiting for Kagome to return.

10 minutes later

Inuyasha was wondering what was taking them so long.

"What are they doing? They only went to go get Sesshoumaru's stuff. What could take them so long.?"

Miroku leaned back and closed his eyes. "I know what I would do with Kagome in an empty parking lot." Sango smacked him. He started. "Wait, did I just say that out loud?"

Inuyasha was too frustrated to respond. "I am going out."

"Well I am coming. I don't trust you. You are an idiot." Sango said.

Inuyasha didn't reply as he went to the door and threw it open.

What he saw caused his blood to freeze in his veins.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~

Meanwhile….

Kagome and Sesshoumaru were slowly walking back towards the apartment. They reached the hallway, but halfway down, Sesshoumaru stopped Kagome.

"Kagome, what did you say to Kikyo?" Kagome smiled in memory.

"I thanked her for everything she did for me." Sesshoumaru let out a rare laugh. "What? You said I couldn't tell Inuyasha, so I went second best. His girlfriend. It will get to him eventually."

"I love you so much. You have the greatest spirit." Sesshoumaru smiled mischievously. "You know what I have wanted to do all night?"

"What?" Kagome asked.

"This" was all he replied before he claimed her lips in a passionate kiss. (Enter Inuyasha)

Kagome felt her entire body melting against his. It had never been like this with Inuyasha. She moved her head she he could deepen the kiss. The bags were forgotten on the floor, as Sesshoumaru pushed Kagome against the wall and showed her how much he loved her. They finally broke apart when the need for air overtook their need for each other. Kagome took a ragged breath. "I love you too." Then she initiated the kiss. She felt him smile against her lips before she thrust her tongue into his mouth. He let her lead for awhile before he took over again. Sesshoumaru lifted Kagome up, while still kissing her, and put her legs around his waist. A battle of the tongues ensued, before both ended up back in Kagome's mouth. The two continued as long as air allowed before finally separating.

"We should go back in before they send out a search party." Sesshoumaru said reluctantly. Kagome whined.

"Do we have to?" Sesshoumaru smiled.

"Well, in there we have a bed, which will be a lot more comfortable than a wall."

Kagome sighed, and then disentangled herself. "Fine whatever." She took his hand and picked up the bags. "Lets go then love." She winked as they walked together back to the apartment.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~

Back to when Inuyasha first saw "the kiss"

He couldn't believe what he was seeing. His Kagome was all over his brother. He couldn't help thinking that they had never kissed like that.

Sango and Miroku came up behind him. "Wow" was all Sango said. Miroku stopped in his tracks.

"I would normally interrupt a moment like this, but I think that if I did Sesshoumaru would kill me." Miroku whispered.

"I agree on that and I have a suspicion that our sweet Kagome would too." As they watched Kagome turn her head, Sango nodded. "Yep, she would kill you. Damn I wish a guy would kiss me like that."

"How come it never looked like that when you guys kissed, Inuyasha?" Had Inuyasha not been totally engrossed in what was before him, he would have pounded Miroku. He saw the two break apart. `Finally' he thought. Then he saw Kagome whisper something then…restart the kiss?!

When they saw Sesshoumaru put her legs around his waist, Sango pulled the two boys back into the apartment. Inuyasha started to resist, but she punched him. "They deserve their privacy, and no matter how romantic that may seem, I really don't want to watch what happens next. Who ever thought Kagome would start the kiss?"

Inuyasha sat on the couch dejectedly. He knew that it had never been that passionate when they went out. Sango and Miroku left him to his thoughts as they waited for the couple to return.

They entered smiling at each other. "Well that took you guys long enough. What did you do, pray tell?" Miroku said slyly.

Kagome blushed lightly. "I don't believe that is any of your business. We…walked slowly, that's all. We just enjoyed each others company." Kagome smiled innocently. Sesshoumaru refrained from commenting.

Sango snorted. "Your blush contradicts that, Kag. Sesshoumaru what's your excuse?"

"Seeing as I am sharing a bed with her tonight, I'll support the story of walking slowly. I can say, though, with all honesty, that we were just enjoying each other's company." Sango laughed. Kagome threw up her hands and walked into Sesshoumaru's room to change.

"You sly dog." Miroku said.

About twenty minutes and ten blushes later, everyone went to bed. When Kagome and Sesshoumaru shut the door, Sesshoumaru caught Kagome up in a bear hug and spun her around. Kagome giggled happily. He threw her on the bed and jumped on after her. He looked at her unsurely. "Are you sure you want to do this? I can sleep on the floor." Sesshoumaru offered. He didn't want to screw up this perfect relationships.

"It's okay. I trust you." She smiled up at him. Sesshoumaru pulled her against him. Both hoped that this would be the first of many nights of falling asleep in each others arms.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~

Inuyasha lay on his bed for an hour. He couldn't stand it anymore. He got up to and left his room. He crept cautiously by Sango, praying that she wouldn't wake up. She didn't and he made his way to Sesshoumaru's room. He had to make sure they weren't doing anything. As he slowly opened the door, thanking god that it didn't squeak.

Kagome had her back to Sesshoumaru's chest, and was smiling softly in her sleep. Sesshoumaru had his arms protectively around her, and her hands rested in his. They looked like the perfect couple, completely happy. His heart broke. (Do you think he has one?) As he left the room, one thought crossed his mind. `I am going to make you mine again, Kagome. You just wait. You will love me again.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~

Niamha here!

Sorry for the week wait. That was horrible. I would like to thank all my reviewers. I love you and don't want to lose you. I am going to work extra hard and see if I can get another chapter up by Wednesday. That may or may not happen because I am working on the newspaper that also must be finished on Wednesday. But I will work my hardest. Promise. ^_^ Anyway if you want me to email you if I get it out early, give me your address and I will. Well here is the preview.

Breaking up can be a bitch:

Inuyasha sat in his car, outside the house for ten minutes. He knew what he had to do but was afraid to do it.

He slowly got out of the car and made his way up the path to the front of the house. He hesitantly knocked on the door. He told himself over and over again that this had to be done. That didn't make it any easier though.

The door opened and Inuyasha's breath caught in his throat. It was time.

"Kikyo, can I talk to you?"
