Chapter Two: Dance with me
Just then however, all thoughts were washed from her mind like a flooding bank as she caught sight of a boy walking through the entrance doors...
A man walked in; his no longer whole heart distinguishing him from the boy he'd long ago been. Long, luscious black hair tied back in a loose ponytail, black, baggy jeans, black and white sneakers, and a tight, black, sleeveless muscle shirt, which covered amazingly toned muscles, could only be topped by those searing eyes. He stared past passively, dutifully the lustful eyes of girls he'd had long ago or could have.
Needy Bitches, he thought, that's all they ever want.
Every girl that the handsome newcomer passed swooned completely… some nearly falling off of their seats and others spilling their drinks all over their faces as they tried to get a better look.
Inuyasha paid them no attention whatsoever, however. He seemed to know where he was headed and was oblivious to all else.
Kagome had never set eyes on such a guy with such a demeanor. He seemed angry yet stoic and handsome and sexy… He walked with total confidential grace and his eyes held so many different emotions veiled by his hard exterior and good looks, which Kagome would admit to nobody, struck her interest like none before.
As he paused to search the room's entirety, his dark eyebrows creasing slightly, she shook her head and admonished herself for such thoughts. And you were just saying…She rolled her eyes in spite of herself.
Inuyasha had finally spotted his half brother behind the bar. He sighed softly to himself as though he were performing some monotonous chore and began walking through the dancing couples to get in closer proximity to his destination. He wore a slight scowl on his handsome face.
Several girls had tried to grab his attention, all begging him to dance with them. He'd softly refused their mounting pleas, weaving out of their siren-like caresses. He first had some unfinished business to deal with.
Sesshomaru, along with two other women, was behind the wooden bar taking orders and handing them out as well. Sesshomaru was currently wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. A white dishtowel lay sprawled across one muscular shoulder while he filled up a cup of soda from the machine. (A/N: He has the white hair but no demonic features…sorry bout that…it has to do with the rest of the story plot.)
Inuyasha sat down on one of the cushy stools and folded his hands, one over top the other, very business-like as he contemplated the menu up above. Sesshomaru handed the drink he'd been previously filling up to a woman sitting to the left of Inuyasha.
"Thank you," drawled the woman, leaning forward to receive her drink with a flirtatious smile.
"You're welcome," Sesshomaru replied most stoically. He then turned to Inuyasha, not making eye contact and instead grabbing an ordering pad. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah… uh… I'd like a large peanut butter milkshake with a large order of cheesy fries." Inuyasha smirked as Sesshomaru finally looked Inuyasha full in the face and familiarity finally flashed across his blue orbs. "With some ranch on the side, preferably." It seemed Inuyasha's voice had been the trigger, for his half brother had yet to see him in this appearance.
"Brother?" Sesshomaru asked with one snowy quirked eyebrow.
"Uh, Yeah. Duh. Who else orders such a…how do you word it? …Stupid combination of food that can only result in devastation..?"
"Only you Inuyasha, do I know to be so overly dramatic. And stupid." He'd smiled just a tid bit…barely noticeable, but there nonetheless. "Where've you been? And what the hell have you done to your face? Your hair? Last time I checked, you were a half-"
"Hey, shut up about that, okay?" Inuyasha interjected offensively, looking over both shoulders suspiciously as though somebody would be listening in on their conversation. He leaned on the counter and lowered his voice. "They found a way to conceal…it."
"Oh. That explains it." Sesshomaru's contemplative frown lasted several moments before he seemed to shake off his subconscious train of thought. "So …do you really want to order that junk?" Sesshomaru asked, both brows raised in questioning this time.
"Nah…actually, I think I might hit up the dance floor," he said as he spun around in his seat, the better to see the ladies on the dance floor. "I like what you've done with the place." He paused thoughtfully. "Any good dancers worth mentioning?"
"As a matter of fact-" he was cut off once again as the song was suddenly stopped and Miroku's booming voice once again returned to the loudspeakers.
"Hey, hey, hey! Guess who's back in the house!" All the girls shouted.
"Stupid idiot." Inuyasha grumbled.
"How about we pick up the beat and see if we can lure our star dancer back onto the floor?"
More shouting, now louder as the boy's sexual innuendoes of howls and woots joined in.
Kagome, embarrassed by the sudden spotlight, threw her head down on her folded arms upon the table. The real spotlight actually did find her hiding form and everybody turned towards her and began cheering her on.
"Come on, Kags, you know you want to!" teased Ayame.
"Yeah, your crowd awaits you, princess!" Added Rin.
They both smiled mischievously and each wrapped an arm around a befuddled Kagome as they pulled her up.
"Ahhh! No! I could never!" she said playfully dramatic, putting a hand up to her forehead in feign resistance. The crowd cheered louder.
Inuyasha slid entirely off the comfy red stool and made his way slowly, alluringly through the crowd.
She laughed suddenly and jumped out of her friend's embrace, now officially pumped and refreshed and ready to show her stuff.
Her laugh reached his ears like the lulling toll of church bells, pulling him in seductively. He could finally see her whole body and Kami, was she smoking hot.
She tried her best to ignore those dark eyes boring into her. They gave her chills. The good kind or the bad kind, she couldn't yet tell. Walking to the middle of the floor where a small circle had been formed to give her space, she stopped abruptly with a little flick of her hips and, leaning her head back, took a deep breath. She loved the attention almost as much as the thrill.
Bad date forgotten? Check. Adrenaline pumped? Check.
Amid the sudden silence, save for the few floating whispers, a lone form broke away from the crowd and walked up to Kagome.
Chocolate eyes clashed.
Kagome's breath hitched.
He was even more breath taking up close. He was now only two feet away. She searched his eyes questionably and took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies that had decided to tickle her stomach just then.
"Hey," he said. His voice was low, it rumbled deep from within his muscular chest.
"Hey." She replied casually, flicking at a loose strand of fallen hair.
"Dance with me."
