Author's Rant: Sorry guys. I got caught up reading a Fanfic. Lol Here's the final chapter. I hope it finishes up on all that needed to be wrapped up. ^_^

Finishing Touch

Damn I've done a whole lot of scary shit in my day. We're talking from stealing my dad's shaving cream and him finding out about it, to confronting Sesshomaru to win his heart back. But this here what I was doing now, I was close to shitting in my freshly pressed jeans and ripping off my navy and stripped red polo to high tail it to the nearest exit.

Unfortunately my only exit was being blocked off my a certain stoic face jerk who was also attired in a similar fashion of dark blue jeans and a crimson button up, undone at the base of his neck. I wish I could possess that smooth, collected stance he had, casually draped against the side of my bathroom door, arms crossed and head cocked with so much arrogance I wanted to fuck our plans and fuck him instead.

We'd only been together three full days since our rekindling and around the second day when I came home, I found a note from mom saying she'd be arriving back with my old man in tow. I was horrified to read on that since I took forever coming back home, it meant we'd patched things up and to expect the correct protocols for blessings and parent meetings.

As if it wasn't bad enough I had to get Kagome back in good terms with me now I had to finalize the deal with an approval from my mama and now daddy too? Dad wasn't all hyped up and went ape shit like my mama because he always learned to let her scream until she got tired and joined him on the couch to watch TV. But when he got pissed there were times even mama got scared and had to shut her mouth. I remember that one time I broke his favorite baseball bat signed by a famous player, while I was outside playing stick ball with a few friends.

Boy did he wear my ass out with that belt. I couldn't sit for two straight days and even by the time it was healed I had to inch on those ass cheeks to keep the sting at bay.

Now questions and confusion of how this day would go were boiling wildly in the pit of my stomach and the entirety of my mind. I could only wonder what he would think, finding out his son was dating another man or if he did approve, what the hell he was going to say to Sesshomaru.

I mean hell I was his one and only child, his only baby boy. A man like him wouldn't be able to resist regulating some ground base rules about how he wanted his child treated. Kagome had been no exception when it came to this and when we broke up . . . well . . . let's just say Pop wasn't feeling all that pleasant when he saw her ass again.

There'd been cuss words, some yellow, a pitch of don't come back here again bitch and some major apologizing when mama found out.

So I was expecting nothing short of difference from my old man if he welcomed Sesshomaru with opened arms or banished him to the pits of hell for corrupting his son's mind.

Damn, then there was that own age difference thing and the fact that Sesshomaru was a full bloodied dog demon.

Shit that territory shit was gonna be raw.

"You seemed troubled?" Sesshomaru figured as he crossed his legs at the ankles.

"No shit," I grunted as I ran a comb through the side lock for some God reason refused to grow with the rest of my hair. "I never liked bringing anyone I dated to see my parents 'cause it was always something crazy involved."

Sesshomaru lifted a manicured brow, "Such as?"

I gave him a narrowed look, "Babe its best you find out on your own. Me explainin' it at gonna save you from this shit."

"Should I be worried?"

Another drawn look was tossed as my wordless way of saying you'll find out in a few.

My comb hit a small snag in my side lock while putting a small concentration on my babe and it took a second to detangle it but soon I was primed and prepped for this moment of truth. As I examined the results of my final trim, turning my head side to side, looking for any misleading pieces of hair sticking up where they weren't supposed too and running a quick brush over my ears to reduce that fluff dried look. Whenever I checked to see for perfection I always ended up finding something extra needing my attention and no one would be surprised that my patience was wearing thin.

"Damn," I softly sneered when discovering another trail of uneven hair failing to match its brothers and sisters in the smooth white trail behind my back. "I'm never gonna be ready."

"Inuyasha."

"Yo?" I answered absentmindedly since my thoughts were debating over the consequences of cutting my hair to a boy cut or dealing with a lengthy ponytail like Koga sported.

My breath caught for a second when Sesshomaru's came around my waist, tugging our bodies in the usual stand up spoon. I coaxed my head to the side, catching view of temple since his chin was resting on my shoulder. "You look fine," he whispered against my jaw.

"Keh, ya ain't gotta tell me," I said all smug. "I was born fine, raised fine and will die fine."

"Then what ails you?"

I paused, moistening my lips as was his learning habit when I hesitated to say what was on my mind. "Just some stuff," I mutely answered. "Just worried about how this'll go and if everything will vote well." I glanced up to meet his even gaze in the mirror seeing he too was watching my reaction as well. And strangely I couldn't see a speck of concern in his eyes. "You ain't nervous?"

"Immensely so," He honestly replied, which to my open mouth shock I was surprised to hear him say.

But his expert poker face had me thinking he was all for the meeting, ready to strike in without a moment's opinion. You can imagine how my mouth gaped like fish as I determined the best way to reply and trying to ease through the haze of humorous stupor.

"Would you rather I go about with fear of the unknown?" Sesshomaru mumbled against my neck. "You're barely holding up your own, it wouldn't make sense to show my concern."

"Yeah but," I turned around in his arms. "I'm here too babe. If you're nervous hell ya gotta tell me."

"I don't exhibit my emotions to people. It makes it complicated to keep my reputation in tact you realize."

I rolled my eyes and patted his chest, playfully. "You can't be badass all the time. Believe me I tried that shit and look where it got me."

"Hm I know. . . Inuyasha."

I sucked in just as I did whenever Sesshomaru lowered himself down to my level, expecting a kiss.

Only this time, I felt his face hover above me for a while before the press of his brow cooled against my skin and his nose brushed mine, just like an eskimo smooch. I released long sigh, contently closing my eyes, leaning as much as I could without bringing our lips together; I just savored this kind of physical connection as his way of cherishing me for a soft moment. His hands came to rest against the small of my back, and in turn I brought mine up to cup his chest, chuckling to myself.

"Something funny," The minty scent teased against my lips.

"Nah," I chuckled again. "I'm just . . . hell it's nothin'." Shit I didn't want to mess up the mood. Too much girly shit in a single setting could mess a brother's game up. I declared myself too much of a simpleton when it came to how much I truly enjoyed doing this kind of snuggling with him.

It made me feel all gooey inside, ya know, like you're warmed by eating a freshly baked cookie or humming nicely after sipping some heated cocoa in front of an open fire.

I simply basked in the wake of these rarity when he showed his physical connection of how much he loved me.

And I wanted so much to stay this way with him, but when both our ears quirked at the sound of three sharp door knocks, my heart sunk nervously and I opened my eyes to see his honey gape lined with me.

"They're here."

"Hm," He kissed me briefly, a little too soon for me and stepped back, interlocking our hands together. "Are you ready?"

Swallowing a huge gulp of air conditioned air, roaring quietly from the ventilation above us, I checked my reflection one last time just to be on the safe side. But when I saw Sesshomaru shaking his head with the smallest smile on his face I couldn't help sniggering at his annoyance and reached up to kiss his lips.

"Yeah, I'm ready."

Inu no Touga Shigure.

A man of extremely high statures in many places, and even a couple of countries as a well-rounded fellow. With a job as a seasoned attorney and an extended reputation fairly known for being cool yet stern, Inu No Touga was better not messed with. From the tips of his pointed Inu ears, his shapely slanted gold eyes and one set of navy stripes, to the wide, bulky spread of his body, he easily powered over all who stood before him in my suddenly too small living room.

Well he would've towered over everyone if Sesshomaru hadn't happened to be the exact height of my father saves for a one or two by my babe.

For the longest time after I escorted my mom and dad inside, Sesshomaru for some reason had took to standing in a clearing of my room, dead center and my father came stalking evil eyed until he stood in front of him, eyes cold and commanding for respect.

Sesshomaru though had taken to shifting most of his weight to his left foot and folding his arms defiant of anyone daring to make him bend backwards. I on the other hand was sitting next to mama, holding her hand which she patted to calm my nerves as I exchanged a worried glance between the two important men in my life.

There were no spoken desires or hand gestures offered to greet the other male. There was only this sense of sizing up the other in curious and yet barreling measures to see if they were worth the time.

During the midst of this mama had explained that she had to ease the subject on to Pop about me being coupled with a man and that he wasn't too keen on learning about this development. But after some time to think it over and detailing what she'd seen for herself to him, my dad slowly and very reluctantly came to terms with the fact that Sesshomaru made me happy.

However she couldn't stop him from coming to see the very man who dared to try and take his son from him. So in the end that lead to them coming all the way up here to engage Sess in some parenting concerns and no, no's on what they wanted to happen and what they were against.

But if I had to be honest, I was fucking close to cussing both their asses out for just standing like a couple of stuck up dicks, acting like no one else was in the room. And I was about to do just that, when I opened my mouth to speak and just as the first word left my lips, I received the most evil glare from my father to keep quiet.

My ears sagged in my hair as I inched closer to my mama in case he decided to go ape shit on me. Inwardly, yeah I was pissed because I knew exactly what was going on between them and I wasn't able to interpret the behavior because of my dear ole mother. She told me she was going to raise me to be sophisticated and well mannered; she didn't want me to grow up knowing the full primitive customs of my other half.

So it was for that reason I felt obligated to grant her a single eyed glare that she knew I deserved. But all she could reward me with was an apologetic shrug and a pat on my ears. "Touga love," She started sweetly, looking his way. "Do you think you could wrap up your caveman issues a bit early? I do want to speak with Mr. Mixon before we leave here."

I heard my father sigh and felt his agitation at being interrupted of his whatever the fuck he was doing. "Mind your business woman, the men are having a moment." Boy daddy must be in a mood if he's talking to mama like that because either he's lost his mind or completely forgot who he's married too.

"Touga."

Well, that's my cue to find another spot to sit. Mama said his name meaning shit's about to blow off. I blew as I stood, casually acting like I was going to get a cup of drink when I was really putting some distance between me and my mama's purse, because lord knows what she's carrying since today's Saturday.

My new form of safety ended up being my counter top in front of the kitchen where from here I could see, Sesshomaru's profile and Pop's face more fully sculpted in a frown that he assumes supposed to be intimidating.

One of my ears swerved to the side when I heard some rustling from where I previously was and low and below, my mom was digging through her purse for something and before I could ask what she was doing, I heard a deep throaty growl come from the two staged Inuyoukai.

"So, Sesshomaru Espada," My dad started off, giving my babe a once over. "I've heard some decent words about you from my wife and failed to get a word out at all from my son," That part was directed towards me but I waved it ignoring him.

Sesshomaru nodded. "I've nothing negative to give reason for possible disrespect."

Dad's nostrils flared as he inhaled the subtle scents of colliding youki. "An Espada you say you are."

Sesshomaru again, offered the same positive gesture.

"By any chance would your father be InuTaisho Espada, the same young man who's partner for Hueco, Donte and Espada Defensive Law Firm?"

"Yes."

"Oh?" I glanced over to see my mother suddenly interested in their closed off conversation. "Does that mean your mother is Ms. Sukiko Espada?"

I looked over to see my father's interests reach his hairline and back to see Sesshomaru once more deliver a nod.

That sent my mother into a tail spin flurry as she popcorned off the couch and ran over, shoving her husband to the side and grasping Sesshomaru's hand much to everyone's surprise. "I'm very fond of your mother. We were close friends during our college days."

"Are you Izayoi Shigure then?" Sesshomaru questioned in case he was mistaken. At her nod, a softer look appeared in my boyfriend's eyes. "Ah, she's told me a great deal about when I was young. You and here were sorority sisters if I'm not mistaken."

"Oh yes, your mother was such a hotty tot thing back in those days. She used to whip out a hand and have at least ten boys coming to her beckoning."

Oh wow. Don't 'cha just hate when your parents magically know every damn body? I swear I can take them to the store and they'd swear up and down they know the person's mama, daddy, sister, brother and all that stuff.

"She told a similar story about you Mrs. Shigure," Sesshomaru cleared his throat, darting a glance at me and my dad. "Was it true you were able to convince the football team that if they dated you they'd receive a million dollar night spent in Iza Land?"

"What the heck?" Saved myself from that hell term but I was damn near close to saying it.

"A night in Iza Land?" My dad folded his thick arms as his face wore a very frightening expression. "Do tell?"

"Oh hush Touga. As if you weren't a whore back in your day."

Daddy gasped, much to my amusement. "I dated one girl at a time thank you."

"One every five minutes" Mama snorted as she patted Sesshomaru's hand like he was a child witnessing a fight. "Don't worry dear, he's just upset because he was one of those football players who I promised a night in Iza Land."

"But I was the one who flowered Iza Land and shut the theme park down for repairs."

"Oh my god!" I shrieked covering my ears. "Yo, your son's in here ya know. Keep that junk to parental rating!"

"It was a night in Iza Land that you were conceived you crazy Boy. And," Dad folded his arms, thinking back to that night. "I do believe we named a ride after you. What was it baby?"

Mom made a thinking noise with her tongue. "I think it was the Inu spinner. I think we were on the wall for—"

"Ya'll for real? Really?I don't wanna know you bent mama like a pretzel! Ew!"

"Boy you might learn somethin'."

"Daddy please!"

For fucking sakes my parents said that as if it wasn't a big deal but fucking Christ I was just scarred with horrid images of my parents . . . d-d-d-doing it. Oh my God that's disgusting! "Can we pleassse talk about something other than how you discovered fire and wrote on stone tablets? Oh my God." I groaned burying my embarrassed red face in my hands. My face grew even redder when some of Sesshomaru's sexy chuckling reached through the cracks of my fingers.

I peeked out a dirty eye all of which he ignored as he cleared his throat loud enough to grab everyone's attention. "As amusing as it is to hear how my love came to be, I'd prefer we discussed the previous matter at hand."

Mom and Dad, thank freaking God, stopped talking about the good ole days of descriptive fucking to give their full attention to Sesshomaru.

This time it was my mother to lead the conversation with a straight forward opinion. "First off, Mr. Espada, I will admit to having been thrown a bit after having to hear from a friend that my son was seeing a man, but even more so when I witnessed the ordeal for myself. To learn that he could possibly be. . ." She swallowed hard, finding the right usage of words. "Well when I learned that he could possible be gay, it was disorienting to say the least. I didn't want to believe it at first but I soon came to terms with it that it might be true." She gave Sesshomaru a pending look. "I understand that you're a very articulate young man and well respected amongst your peers as an upcoming doctor."

Mama's been doing her homework.

"You're a handsome and well-mannered person from what I've seen thus far . . . but," Oh shit, mama's eyes were turning darker. I ducked back a little feeling my stomach churn at what she might say. "That's all fine on the exterior but what I'm concerned about is the interior. You've come across as a proud, prideful demon of high pedigree but I'm more worried if this could possibly be a front in hopes of taking my son from me."

She looked at me then with an expression that threw me; almost as if she were afraid of something happening.

"He's my baby, my only child and I know for him to want to take this path, he must really care for you," her voice cracked the same time I felt my heart clot itself in my throat. "I need you to promise me. If I give my blessing for this, will I have any reason to believe you'll harm my son or can I trust that you'll take care of him and love him like he so deserves?"

"Mommy. . ." Damn, that touched something in me. I . . . didn't know how to react to her looking so vulnerable. Mama never came off to me as being anything other than a strong, courageous woman, but to see her breaking down to a fragile dainty lady, scared me. I was so concerned I eased from around my placement and came to give her a hug from behind, resting my chin on her shoulder.

She kissed my cheek, reaching over to pat my cheek before casting a fleeting emotion Sesshomaru's way for an answer.

"Mr. Shigure, Mrs. Shigure, I can't make a promise that I won't possibly hurt Inuyasha in the future because with all relationships, will come problems. There will be times we argue, times we fight and maybe moments when hatred rules over reason." I looked up at him, my eyes widening at the truth.

Dad was livid as he stepped forward, between us and Sess. "If you hurt my boy I'll—"

"Pop," I softly stressed. "Let 'em finish."

Dad reluctantly gave Sesshomaru a throaty warning before retreating back beside me and Mom.

Sesshomaru mouth his gratitude and continued on. "Any kind of hurt that is caused your son, I vow will never be done purposefully but I do promise if he is hurt I will try to my very last breath to solve whatever it is or cause it the same equal amount of pain." Then without so much as caring that my family was in here, Sesshomaru reached out his hand, tugging my arm from around my mother and in a trance my gripe loosened and I fell into his embrace. He kissed my temple despite my daddy's snarl and pulled me into his chest. "I'll always do right by your son Shigure," This time the promise was directed toward my scowling father. "With all that's in me, I love Inuyasha like I will never experience with another. He will be always be my own and I his to do with as he pleases."

His chin came to rest between my twin flaps as a calmer, smoother demeanor, shivered through his youki and into my system, but what he said next sent chills down my spine. "Regardless of whether I get your blessings, I will have Inuyasha for my own. Your approval would mean a great deal to the both of us but if you'll disagree, nothing will stop me from keeping him. I will have your son, no matter the cost." His arms tightened around my midsection even as I inclined my head to see his jaw set hard as stone.

Daddy was frozen in place, eyes licked with flames of anger and determination to break my babe in half. I knew Pop wouldn't agree a hundred percent with what I was willing to put myself through, but this was one of those times I wanted him to understand that this was a decision I was ok with making.

"Touga," My mama placed her hand over her husband's chest, shaking her head. "Don't stop happiness. You can't," my ears wiggled at her downing sigh. "You can't protect him from everything sweetheart. He's going to need to live eventually."

"But at what costs?" Pop argued. "To be with a man who could easily use him? Inuyasha's young and naïve. Their age difference puts our son at a disadvantage. Who's to say he isn't hurt in the long haul? It'll be us to have to nurse his wounds and prepare him for the next heartbreak."

"And who's to say I'm not hurt if don't take this chance?" I sharp injected to both people but mostly for my father's ears. "Look, I-I know this may shock ya both to see this and it's a bit sudden but I know what I want. Stop talkin' like I don't know what I'm doin'." It was my turn to fold my arms over Sesshomaru's to display my loyalty to his side. "He's really good to me Pop. You would never imagine all the things he's done and so much more. I was the one to hurt him but he took me back." Looking over my shoulder, I presented my most charmed smile to my babe, leaning into his support. "I love Sesshomaru, Daddy. You may not approve because of age or breed or because he's a man but he's what makes me happy."

Daddy didn't feel too confident about our togetherness even after I poured out my soul. But as it seemed to pass, the dark storm brewing in the eyes he bestowed me, slowly died away.

"Inuyasha," Daddy stepped forward, pulling me free of Sesshomaru's embrace. "Is this what you really want? Is he what you really want?"

"Yes," I answered without hesitation. "I know this is what I want. I'm sure." I squeezed his hands. "Trust me Daddy. Sesshomaru's good for me. And," I winked at my babe. "I'm sure you'll like 'em too."

Pop sighed, rolling his eyes to the ceiling, "Boy I swear you'll be the death of me." But he nonetheless, gave his grunted consent, pulling me close to give his tightest bear hug—but not without granting Sesshomaru the cruelest evil eyes in the world. "For every tear my boy shreds, you'll peel twice as much Espada. You understand me?"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, "Yes sir."

His gaze fell down to my mama who finally decided to weave through the thong of men to reach out and take my man's large hands in her delicate smaller ones. "Take care of him Sesshomaru. Make my baby happy."

"You've my word," Sesshomaru brought her fingers to his lips. "I'll try my hardest to keep him safe, and make him the happiest I can."

"Thank you sweetie," She whispered, bowing respectfully. "That is all I ask of you."

I turned around, chuckling to myself at the hilarity of it all. My parents finally got to meet my babe and without any piece of blood shred in sight though we came damn near close to it. All in all, I don't think it could've turned out any better than it had. I knew eventually Sesshomaru earn some of my father's respect. He was just going to work through his hard wall before that happened. As for my mom, as I gazed between the loving eyes she adored me with so many times since I was a baby, I knew she was already infatuated with him.

It'd do for now, but there was still a small piece needing to be corrected. One final lost that I hoped wasn't too late to fix.

Two weeks have passed since the change of my life and so many others.

And so in hopes of sharing my happiness, I decided to throw a party. Nothing crazy cause that's up Kagome's ally when throwing some crazy shit. Nah, this was one of those easy going, laid back bar b ques where only close family members and friends could come out to rejoice in a time of cozy relaxation.

"Mother fucking how the hell ya gotta play a fuckin' spade! We gonna need that later stupid!"

"Easy stupid so I can cut ya ass for that ace. Now gimme my shit ya jerk!"

"You just fucked up a got'damn book doing that shit!"

". . . oh . . . my bad bro."

"Oh my God. For real tramp?"

Well some of the relaxation. The get together was agreed to be held in Sesshomaru's back yard, to hold all of the crew that included his parents who weren't as bad as mine were, his friends, my friends and even Bankotsu and his stupid date Hiten. If ole dude told anyone about that porno incident we scrapping. Ain't shit to it.

"Play the damn card woman, why the hell are you trippin?" That was Hiten.

"Look I got this. Just say how many you can get." Anddd that was Rin's cocky ass.

"I can do three and a possible."

"Cool I can handle five."

"Pfft ya shittin me. I doubt you can pull that outta ya ass."

"Fuck you!"

"Hey, watch your mouths. My mamas are here." I shouted at the idiots,

"My bad!"

I shook my head at the foursome playing a game of spades near the end of the fence. Kagome, Rin, Bankotsu and Hiten were all crowded in a hunched focus, a couple of them even trying to cheat. I learned after getting to know 'em a little bit that Bankotsu wasn't too bad a guy to hang with. Last week we ventured out to the gym to see who could attract the most attention. Unfortunately that turned out to be the same time Hiten came in and Sesshomaru followed behind a few minutes later.

I was standing on the back veranda looking from one end of the yard to the other at the pair off group of people. Nearly everyone was here for the get together. My parents were separated, each taking one of Sesshomaru's parents to discuss whatever kept them entertained. I saw daddy over there demonstrating an easy way to swing a golf club and Sesshomaru's father, InuTaisho, nodding and pointing out more angles to take.

My mama was huddled under an umbrella table with Sesshomaru's mother, a very lovely lady, talking about their fun days under the sun and whatever else made them tick. Takemaru, Kagura, and Naraku were all chatting amongst themselves, sipping from their cups and watching their bratty sister beat the hell out of Kagome and Hiten. It felt good seeing everyone get along, all things at ease, stuff so comfortable and without any worry.

Yeah, life was good as hell.

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru emerged from his sliding glass door, wrapping his arms around my neck from behind. "You have two visitors Love."

Looks like the moment of truth was about to show. "Cool," I sighed. Time to get this shit over with.

I turned in time to see both my invited guests, my boys, my road dogs, Miroku and Koga. Both were weary as I was, looking from me to Sess as they came closer. When Sesshomaru made to leave us to our privacy when the two came close up, I held his hand, motioning for him to stay and boldly wrapped my arm around his waist.

Koga's blue eyes widened for a split second as did Miroku's but I was prepared for however it came to them but I'm sure that what I did was more than enough for them to see that I cared for Sesshomaru regardless of what they said or did.

I lifted my eyebrow at them both, waiting for someone to say something but either say anything. Guessing it was due to my babe being near, I whispered for him to give us a moment and kissed him on the lips before he left, leaving us alone.

So there we stood staring at each other after nearly three weeks of no talking, or any sort of communication. We were finally back together again.

But I was going to be the one to break it through. "Now ya know."

Koga shoved his hands in pockets and nodded. Miroku cupped his hands behind his back, rocking back and forth on his heels.

After a while I stepped between them holding out a fist to each one, "So we still cool?"

Miroku looked at my balled fist and didn't waste time, reaching out to pound his with mine. "Of course my friend. You know we'll always be here."

I was relieved to hear it but now it was time for Koga. "So bro?"

Koga sighed, shaking his head. "Look man you do you. We gonna be dogs no matter what 'cha do. I'm just pissed ya didn't think to tell us cause of your stupid ass insecurities." But still he reached out pumping our fists together for a quick dab. "Just don't do that shit again bro. We ain't here to judge you."

"Right," Miroku agreed. "If you like 'em, we love 'em."

"He's right. Besides you liking dick ain't gonna stop us from eatin' pussy right?"

"Right. Thanks guys," We did a couple of one armed hugs, ending on a snap and a shake. "Now then, if we through being a bunch of pussies," I looked around to be sure mama wasn't around. "What 'cha say we go handle those fools at the table."

"Hellllo," Miroku purred, slicking back his raven hair. "I'll definitely handle that beauty with the lovely body."

I checked out the honey he was referring too and shook my head fast. "Nah man, she's got two brothers with the po' po'. Ya don't wanna try that." But the poor dick driven fool was already strolling over despite the warning.

And right on cue, I checked the side fence to see both brothers already on full alert. Takemaru was the first to meet Miroku just as he arrived to the table and escorted him to the side of the fence to have a bit of chat.

But where was Naraku?

"My, my, my what do we have here?" I checked to the left and oh my damn I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Naraku was strolling behind Koga, like he was a hungry man looking at a slab of steak. I looked at Koga who was quick to turn away. "Umm sorry man, I don't swing that way."

"Swing what way?" I saw Naraku comb around until he was directly in front of my best friend, eyes half lidded to their bed room charm. "I'm just here to chat."

"Chat?"

"Hmm Mmm, perhaps we could retire elsewhere for a little privacy." Naraku was all up in there this time, using his very sultry voice like a set of curving claws. I chuckled to myself, knowing full and damn well Koga was looking all shocked and what not.

"Umm, sure," Koga looked at me and shrugged not thinking much of it. "Cool we can talk a little bit. What 'cha got?"

"Ohh we can begin with your name."

"Koga. Koga Wolfe."

Naraku held out his hand. "Naraku Oni. And what a very," The hand he took from Koga's was brought to his lips and pressed with the softest kiss. "Very handsome man you are."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, bro, slow ya roll." Koga snatched his hand back like he was burned. "We can talk but keep that shit in ya pants. I love pussy like no body's business." The wolf demon was already gone before Naraku could say another word on it.

When the spider demon cast me a seductive glint, I shrugged and mouthed a sorry. Naraku winked at me, mouthing in return that Koga was his for the taking and went to pursue the retreating wolf, eyes blazing with alluring desire.

Oh damn, I hope Koga was ready for that.

"Something amusing?" I couldn't stop chuckling even when Sesshomaru came by my side.

"Yeah look." I pointed to Sesshomaru's dark haired god brother, following after Koga and catching him near an empty table and offering a seat. Somehow he was able to convince the wolf demon to talking.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. "Honestly, he can't seem to help himself sometimes."

"Keh, you can talk," I teased, elbowing his side. "You did the same from what I remember."

"Yes," His hand snaked around my hip, pulling me close to his side. "And I'd do it again."

"I bet you would. Come on," I leaned up to kiss his delicious lips. "We got a bunch of folks to entertain and I ain't doin' this shit on my own."

"Hmm mmm," He snatched me back for another kiss, more lingering and suckling then the last. "But I need a little bit of your flavor first."

"Mmm yeah," I leaned in to suck his bottom lip between my fangs, lapping the plump flesh like a swollen berry.

I was happy now. No maybe more than happy, possibly feeling as loved as I could ever feel.

And the funny thing was, I've always had this vision of how I would meet my true love someday.

But never would I have guessed that a Lemon Meringue pie could ever lead to the start of any something everlasting.

I guess it just goes to show you that the tiniest things could lead to something much bigger and so much more thrilling.

Well people, that's the end to the beginning of me and Sesshomaru's relationship. There will always be the ups and downs that will end up pissing us off. And even times when I think I can never deal with being around him. There will also be people who didn't understand the beauty of our relationship.

But it didn't matter because in the end we would always have each other to lean on.

"You is a cheating son of a bitch!"

"I ain't cheatin' ya stupid tramp!"

"Go to hell!"

"Yo, chill with the cussing!" I shouted across the yard. "Our mama's are here fools!"

"My bad!"

I rolled my eyes looking over my shoulder at Sesshomaru's same irritated smile. We both chuckled at the crazy fools and finally left our cozy hug to join the rest of our family hand in hand. Things wouldn't be easy for us.

But I didn't expect them too.

Because we were going to be fine.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Did you get a chance to—"

"Yeah babe." I winked at his handsome face. "I made the pie."

Sesshomaru smiled, returning my wink. Yeah I knew my babe well. I knew he'd want his pie, just like he knew I'd have it ready for him.

Like I said, we were going to be fine.

Oh yeah, just fine.
