Finding You , Keeping You

~ Chapter One ~

Exotic Trance

Pulsing , and sporatic vibrations sprung from the walls , bouncing off abruptly , crashing to met the same from the floors , as the pounding beats from up above , made the sweaty bodies, who posessed listening ears , to obediantly sway. It was always this way , the dark , and the deep mist combined with the sultry symphony , would create the most tantic movements to fall from the most nimble creatures , as it would follow what the inner expanse of the room demanded. Although the one with decieving violet eyes , had caught a mere sight of a human , and one he didn't quite expect, as it was someone the man was sure his eyes recognized , if only slightly.

In the middle of the room was the silken curves of a woman , who upon coming to the look in her eyes , reminded him of a girl he once knew , but still here this woman was, and regardless of who this woman claimed to be that the fact remained to be seen , his senses didnt lie. At the time the male himself didn't allow himself to act, at least not yet, and from his lessons over the centuries , as a lot of them had been from the very person that he was just intent on watching , but that didn't stop the nagging questions which had been forming since the moment his eyes laid upon her. To him, it still seemed to be quite a rather great shock to see her here like this , as it had been such a long time since the last time her presence was allowed in his , and this abrupt experiance was one that it wasn't certain if it could be readied for .

The woman had indeed changed from the distinct , tho far past memories that was kept within the vast reaches of the gazer's recollections, and so much in fact that the only thing that had gave him the clue that it was her , was not only her slightly distorted scent ,or that the tired gaze that had permeated into her once lively eyes , but was a certain look that somehow spoke louder than words when her chocolate orbs did softly scan over his direction. It wasn't one of recognition , or surprise , hell love would be welcome at the time , but no , not even pain leaked out from her blank stare , and the only emotion that carried into her eyes was nothing . Absolutely nothing.

' Kagome?'

The music changed directions in tempo , and so did the movements , as this one was more rapid in its precession , but this time the tempting figure with the following tasty shadows was no longer dancing alone . It had appeared that another soon joined her from within one of the dark corners of the room, but while she moved against the thin sheet of red satin , with black silk entertwining in the middle of her essemble , as greedy fingertips quickly grazed upon heated flesh, then almost immediately , one's orbs, bleeding flames behind his hidden fasod spoke of a jealous rage. Abeit unfair, yes indeed had been so long since those long days had past , that he could have , though he didn't , but did the man with the angry , possessive stare give a damn ?

No ..

Actually , the male did not give a flying fuck ! If it was true , being the one dancing in front of him was really her , than she was his ,and this time no one would stop him from getting what he had for some time now desired.

Once the music faded , and another slowly claimed it place with vigor , the male watching soon made his way to the crowds , and before anyone could yet stand his way clasped his hand over hers . Afterwards without pause, the male then pulled her near , dancing hungrily close to her body , with his lips lightly touching her earlobe when his words fell away from his lips.

"I found you ..."

Although , her reaction was to him somewhat expected because of the way he did look to her now , but not why it was true, and unfortunately for him it wasn't the reason the male had once thought, for the very time that he had pulled her off the floor into one of the more private areas , did he unveil his true identity two things happened.

One : The girl screamed

Two : The male in question quickly had a flock of people surround them ..

Oddly enough , out of those , one 's voice snaked it's way into the small area from where all of them stood , and that one sound continuously began to make his skin crawl , as well as his stomach dropping into his legs, for he knew without looking , who that voice belonged too. Though how , or why this was , the male didn't have a blasted clue , which made things to be undeniably worse.

It was Naraku ..

Or at the very least something very close to being apart of the sneaky bastard.

Thereafter , once it was all said and done , the male who had only the intention of reconnecting to his long lost was quickly asked to leave with a slap to the wrist warning him not to return , and make a scene . So , the male did the very next best thing , he waited . Yep, indeed sat and waited hidden high within a nearby tree, which of course was done so very carefully because at the time it had been a very long time since he had the reason to do so , just waiting for the slight change for him to approach the woman , without all the damn interruptions.

While in his perch , the male pondered as to the reasons why , or how what had occured been so , but as it seemed with the growing snarl escaping with frustration , he came up with nothing to explain the reasons for this result to have happened. It was certain that the Kagome he knew , and the one just now were totally different people , rightfully so , but why did she fear him, as she didn't know that he would'nt hurt her. Didn't she remember?

Evidently not ..

The male's musings were suddenly cut off , as he noticed the last person come out to wait at the nearby bus stop , which was a block away from where the place was down another street , as then and there was decided that he would make his move. Swiftly leaping from tree to tree steadily , but carefully , then jumping out from one of them in front of her , so he wouldn't scare her , and with gentle words pleaded with her not to scream ..

" Kagome, its okay .. I am not going to hurt you , okay ? J Just please don't scream .."The male waved his hands outwards , and while softly commanding her at the sight of the womans gasp .

" H-how do you know my name ? Do I know you from somewhere? Have we met ?" The visably shaken woman spoke with the small broken voice of a mere child about to be punished ..

"Because I know you, Yes, and Yes.. Along time ago .."

"Oh , um .. I am sorry , but who are you , and why is it that I don't recall ? Where we close ?"

"We can talk all you want , but don't you want to maybe get out of the cold , maybe go in someplace warm , first? I promise , your safe with me .. Would you like a ride while we discuss things?"

"First answer my question, if I am as safe as you say , and that I should trust you then give me what I want .. "

" Fine ! Look , like I said it was a long time ago , at least for me , but for you maybe a year tops.. I don't know why it is you don't remember , but if you want I can help you find out . Yes , we were close .. Can we leave it at that , wench ! I don't want you to freak out on me anymore than you are , okay ?"

A shiver ran down the woman's spine , as the words burst from his lips , especially with the much disliked petname that he felt she needed at this point. Within her mind , the biggest thought was , could this man be stupid , as to gaining a womans trust with distasteful name calling, but somehow his words , though not knowing how , made her feel in a way safe with him ..

" Very well, um .. Do you have a car , or are you waiting for the bus too?"

" How far do ya wanna go ?"

" To my apartment , actually its not to far away from here ..Would you mind ?"

" Follow me .." The male took her by the hand , and led her around the corner where it was even a deader street than the one the bustop was ..

"Okay , um .. Where did you park ?" The woman responded ..

" Alright , hop on .." The male had spoken once in a position where he was squatted before her in a pair of tan Khakis , and black button up , with no shoes , as those along with his socks were discarded next to where they stood , but even though his back was turned , he could feel her hesitation, before her words..

" Um , who did you say I was to you ?"The woman said hesitantly , as her actions spoke the same while climbing upon his back ..

"My wife ..." The male responded just as quickly , but softly spoken, and tightened his hold upon her thighs to prevent her escaping , until she heard him out, then took off into the night sky..
