A/N: Hey folks! This chapter starts with a flashback but instead of making the whole text in italics, only the dialogue are. So enjoy!
"Ahh, stop it! I don’t want you to take anymore pictures! Seriously Inuyasha, put that thing away!"
"Aww, come on! Don’t you know how hot you look in that tank-top and hipster-"
"-Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha grinned and snapped the picture, despite Kara's protests. She cried out, momentarily stunned by the bright flash. She attacked blindly and tried wrestle for the digital camera she bought him on his birthday (a gift she was regretting at the moment.). Inuyasha easily pushed her off and took another picture. Her teeth were bared in a growl, eyes narrowed sharply and her hair stood on all ends.
Inuyasha snickered. Yea, she was going to kill him if she ever saw this picture.
"Inuyasha!" Kara groaned in defeat and covered her face with her hands.
"Just one more picture."
"No."
"Aww, come on Kara," He paused for her reply, but was met with silence, "Okay...will you take a picture if I'm on it?"
Kara pulled her hands from her face and looked up. Inuyasha was lying stretched out on the bed giving her the puppy look - the one she could never resist. After few moments she broke the stare, sighing.
"Tsk! Like I have a choice..." She muttered.
Inuyasha bit his lip to stop from grinning widely and tugged her hand. Kara grumbled and let Inuyasha pull her down beside him. He moved closer and brushed his thumb across the wrinkle between her eyebrows. He always did that when she frowned, like with the act he would erase her dislike.
And it did.
Kara ducked her head, blushing and threw her leg over his, snuggling closer.
"Bastard."
Inuyasha flashed her a grin and held the camera above them, angling it slightly to the side.
"Ready?"
"Yea."
"Okay, on three. One, two, three-"
He pressed down the button, the flash blinding his eyes but he could fell how his face grew hot when her lips pressed against his cheek. His heart fluttered his chest and Inuyasha sighed with a smile.
"I love you, Kara."
"And I love you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha stared at the picture he took seven years ago. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the girl lying next to him. Her lips were curved into a smile while she kissed him. The twinkle in her eye gave the impression she knew he was going to blush, which he did.
Inuyasha stared at himself and snorted. He looked like an idiot. Cheeks flushed red. Eyes squeezed so tightly that it looked like he was grimacing, rather than smiling.
They were seventeen at the time and had just moved in together. Back then Inuyasha was insanely in love with Kara. He was sure she was going to be the woman he would marry, have kids then finally grow old with.
Amazing how things fucked up.
Inuyasha sighed and cupped his face.
"Inuyasha?"
"Kagome?!" Inuyasha sat up with a start, "You're back?!"
"Yea, I got off work early."
"Oh..." Inuyasha trailed off.
Kagome raised her eyebrows then moved her eyes to the things he had spread out on the bed. Inuyasha followed her eyes and nearly yelped. He quickly got on his feet and gathered the letters, birthday cards, pictures, poems and other memories and placed them in a wooden box. He closed the lid, clicking on the lock and got off the bed.
"So, how was your day?"
"Inuyasha...what’s in the box?"
"Nothing." He tried answering calmly and nervously licked his lips.
Inuyasha could feel Kagome watching him as he walked over to the closet and opened it. He placed the box on the top shelf and stepped back. He would leave it there only temporarily then put it back in its hiding place. He knew if he left it there, Kagome's curiosity would get the best of her and she would try opening the box - and he couldn’t let that happen!
He turned back around and plastered an easy grin on his face. But noticing how Kagome narrowed her eyes and titled her hip to the side, folding her arms across her chest, he knew wasn’t getting away with anything.
Inuyasha glanced quickly away and rubbed his neck.
"Kagome, have you heard?"
"Heard what, Inuyasha..." She drawled his name.
"Kara's back."
He heard Kagome's sharp intake and looked up to see her jaw drop. She stared at him wide-eyed. Shock written all over her face.
"W-what?!"
"Father told me. She landed this evening."
Kagome chewed her bottom-lip and ran hand through her dark hair.
"Eh, is it for the wedding?"
"Yea."
"I guess...I guess that was expected. I mean, Kara and Ayame are best friends, so..."
"Hm..."
Silence built up, the couple lost in their own thoughts when Kagome broke it,
"Does she know I'm one of the bridesmaids?"
"I don’t know," Inuyasha shrugged.
"W-what do you think she will she do when she sees us..."
"Knowing Kara, she will probably attack us on site and claw our eyes out," Inuyasha chuckled humourlessly and raked a hand through his hair, gritting his teeth.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome began saying, not sure what to say when she saw the grim look on his face.
"Whatever she does, we deserve it."
Later the same night, Sesshoumaru stepped into his bedroom running a towel through his long hair. He walked over to a dressing table and picked a brush. Both the dressing table and brush used to be his mother's. He had inherited all her things after her death, including the house he grew up in but Sesshoumaru sold it.
Not wanting to stay in a house filled with few good memories and many bad ones.
The time was currently little pass two a.m. and he was completely alone. Unlike his father, Sesshoumaru didn’t have any servants and instead hired a maid, who came and cleaned his house four times a week. Sesshoumaru didn’t really need her since he rarely was home and often spent nights at his office working or his nights at one of his lady friends since he never took them home.
To Sesshoumaru that would only complications things.
Bringing a woman home would mean something. Something he didn’t mean seeing as women had the tendency to read into to things little too much. The woman would probably start thinking he was trying to tell her in a discreet way that he was letting her in and showing her a side nobody had ever seen before - as a result complicating things!
Sesshoumaru ran the sliver brush through his hair, thinking over today’s events. He almost scored a major deal signing Kikyou Higurashi to his fashion house. She had been a huge star few years back, being the very definition of ’Gothic Lolita’ when she was caught sniffing white powder up her nose and dropped out of the spotlight.
But since than she cleaned herself up and was eager to get back to work.
Sesshoumaru still needed to go through some papers before he made the contract finally. After all, she used to belong to his rival’s house and he didn’t want to end up getting sued because of mishandled paperwork.
But Higurashi wasn’t thing on his mind when he tossed the towel onto the floor and crawled into his bed, naked.
"Sesshoumaru, I have you told Kara is coming back?"
"For wedding?"
"Yea. She is going to be one of Ayame's bridesmaids."
"Hm."
"Did you know?"
"No. We haven’t spoken since June."
"Oh..."
Sesshoumaru looked up from the paper he was about to sign. Kouga was sitting across from him in a chair. He was going through the week's time schedule, but by the way he kept tapping the pen on the board, furrowing, Sesshoumaru knew Kouga's mind was elsewhere. He sensed there was something he wanted to say, but had decided against it and kept quiet instead. Being the person Sesshoumaru was, he didn’t pry and figured if it was something important, Kouga would tell him later.
Kara...
It had nearly been five years since Sesshoumaru last saw her. She never came home for the holidays and even if she had, Sesshoumaru doubted he would have dragged himself to the manor to celebrate with the family.
They hadn’t spoken in months. The last being on her birthday when he called to congratulate, but the phone call had been cut short because she had leave and meet up with her friends.
They would send the occasional mail, checking up to hear how the other was doing - nothing more.
Never once had they brought up the night they had had sex. She never mentioned. He never mentioned.
But that didn’t mean he never thought of it.
Sesshoumaru rolled onto his side and closed his eyes. He wondered how things were going to be between them when they finally met. Would it be awkward? Or would she act like nothing ever happened and brush the night off like nothing...
If she did, then Sesshoumaru was going to the same.
Ironic, how things seemed so simple when Sesshoumaru fell asleep to that thought, not knowing what Fate had in store for him.
