Koga sat in the honbu dojo, head down cast, he had been on edge lately, his world was standing still, he felt restless, but even that was no excuse for what he had done it had been three weeks since he had the incident with Ayame. He had come here to this place of ancient wisdom to clear his head, yet it was not working the tears her eyes shed floated through his mind, the pain he had caused her, it all rang so clear in his mind. This was not the first outburst he had towards her; this seemed to be an ongoing ordeal. But why he pondered, there was no explanation that he could think of for why whenever he was near Ayame the littlest things set him off.
"Koga Kyodai-san "Came a voice from the entry way of the dojo. Koga turned around to see his cousin Ginta. "Yes, what is it" Koga asked annoyance laced in his voice. "The Saiko-Komon has asked that you go to the advisers meeting, at Kei kumicho's place" after saying this Ginta bowed and left. Koga looked up; this meant he had to see her. He sighed shaking his head. He stood and walked out of the dojo, he needed to get ready for this meeting, and hopefully he would survive it.
The room looked as if a tornado had just hit different silk kimonos' lay upon the bed, matching obi belts were hanging off of chairs, Koshi-himo sashes and Date-Jime belts were all over the floor along with the Obi-Jime. Kagome, Sango, Ayame and Rin were getting ready for the advisers meeting it was a very formal affair, it was the last one of the year where many things were to be spoken of, such as finances, important clan information, merger information, meeting with new members, and lastly marriage proposals. The girls were getting ready it was almost two hours away but the preparations for formal wear was difficult and all four girls had to be dressed.
Rin was the first to be dressed, her Kimono was a deep blue with light blue clouds hovering over a lake where rose petals drifting on the wind settled. First Rin put on her white tabi socks, then she put on the juban: though it would be warm this evening Rin was old fashioned and preferred something under her kimono. Next she put on the Kimono, Kagome made sure the back seam was centered, and she wrapped the right side of the kimono over her body then overlapped the left side. She held the Kimono tight as Kagome fixed the eri-sugat. Kagome took the white koshi-himo belt and tightened it below the extra fabric at Rin's waist; she crossed the belt over the back and tied it in the front, using the excess material to cover the koshi-himo. Next Kagome took the white Date-Jime and wrapped it around her waist, covering the Koshi-himo. The girls admired the first round of Kagome's work and nodded in approval. The art of Kimono wearing was passed through the generations, and Being Kagome's first time she was pleased.
"Ayame if you could, tie the obi please, Kagome looks like she's had enough" Rin said smiling.
Kagome nodded in agreement, and Ayame smiled happily. Ayame took the light blue obi fabric, that had white cloud patterns, she placed the fabric around Rin's waist once and then a second time, she then overlapped the belt and tied it, she began to twist the obi fabric and then centered it she tied it several times creating a beautifully centered bow. After Rin's kimono was finished the girls lined up one by one. Ayame was in a gold Kimono with a beautifully designed tree with leaves falling turning from green to deep oranges, reds and browns, her obi belt was a burgundy color. Sango's Kimono was a deep purple and blue creating an evening sky effect with the twinkling silver stars her obi was a solid purple. Kagome's Kimono was blood red a gold dragon danced along the fabric, her obi was solid red. When the Kimono's were finished, Rin started on their hair. Because of the beautiful way Ayame's fire red hair contrasted with her kimono Rin curled her hair, leaving cascades of curls down a couple of inches under her shoulder, she gave outlined Ayame's eyes in deep black eyeliner to bring out her green eyes, and added clear lip gloss for a Final touch. For Sango Rin gave her a high pony tail and outlined her eyes lightly in white eyeliner to bring out her eyes, adding four coats of mascara to make her eyes pop, and finished her off with pink lip gloss. For Kagome She straightened her hair so it fell down to her lower back, and curling her bangs under, she dapped some gold eye shadow on the inner corners of her eyes and outlined the top of her eyelid with gold eye liner, and finished by placing red lip gloss on Kagome. Rin sat in front of the Mirror, she placed her hair in a traditional bun, and placed a Kanzashi in her hair, it was a beautiful hair decoration that had silk lilies hanging from it. She placed a smooth clean line of eyeliner to her top and bottom eyelid, and added some mascara, and a pink lip gloss. The girls smiled at one another, they were ready to turn heads.
Loud music and laughter could be heard from the large dining room, the meeting had begun as it usually had with food and food and drink so that all could make merry, socializing happily. Inuyasha walked in, adoring a traditional male kimono, by his side was his brother dressed in the same attire, and all the men wear wearing the black haori, with the white Haori-himo. "Ah Inuyasha and Sesshomaru please sit" Kei said over the boisterous talking. Inuyasha spotted Koga who sat fidgeting with his Haori-himo, he stifled a growl. The coward had been hiding out since that day, but this was neither the time nor the place. He sat down next to Koga who did not even spare him a glance, Inuyasha watched as his brother took his seat next to their father who was busy carrying on a conversation with Kei, and to Inuyasha's Surprise Eiji Rin's father, he was smaller in size than his younger brother Kei, his aged with written on the creases on his face, and his sunken eyes, although for today they were filled with a great Mirth.
"My my it seems it has been forever since we have all been present at one of these gatherings" Inu no Tashio said picking up his cup of sake. Kei and Eiji followed his lead, everyone else followed after. "It surprises me that your sons have changed so much since I last saw them" Eiji said looking between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru." Inu no Tashio nodded "Every day I as the same question when did they change."
"And Koga you have grown to, but why are you sitting at the lower end of the table? Didn't Hideo send you in his place?" Eiji asked. Koga looked up his eyes held a deep worrisome emotion. "Hiedo-sama will be here he just was caught up at the elder meeting tonight but as soon as that is done he will be here." Eiji nodded "So where is the food Kei, I thought Akane and Izayoi were preparing the meal, I do miss their cooking." He chuckled after he said this eyes darting around the room. "Patients Eiji, we are still waiting on some people to arrive."
A few moment later the Shoji was pushed open, Eiji looked up his eyes bright with delight it had been too long. Their stood Rin in her elegant kimono her hair and makeup beautifully done. Sesshomaru could not take his eyes off of her, her beauty pierced through him, his heart quickened, and his desire for her began to grow. Rin looked directly at him and gave a soft smile their brief moment was interrupted too quickly. Eiji stood and walked over to Rin, not caring about who was in the room or where he was he took her hand in his own. "Rin, my wonderful little Rin you have grown to be as beautiful as your mother." This made Rin smile, oh how she had missed her father. "Come sit ,sit" he urged her , taking her back to the table she sat between her father and Sesshomaru who's penetrating amber gaze grabbed her attention, she was caught in his eyes but quickly diverted her gaze.
"Oji-san, Kagome and Sango went to help Oba-san and Izayoi-san with the food, and Ayame went to wait for Hiedo-san outside." Kei nodded. Shoji doors flew open and Kagome and Sango came in with treys of food, followed by Akane and Izayoi. The food was laid on the tables; everyone was ready to dig in. Kagome went to take her place at the end of the table with Koga, Sango Followed Kagome.
"Hey I got a bone to pick with you" Kagome said pointing at Koga, Koga just looked at her his ice blue eyes, seemed to drift in and out of conscious awareness. Kagome's heart melted as she looked at her friend who was obviously struggling with himself. "Look you can't run away anymore Koga you have to face her, if you had done it that day things would not have turned out this bad." Kagome said her voice softening. Sango nodded "Koga why don't you go talk to her you may not have not have another chance to clear the air." Koga looked at her confused and Kagome glared at her. Koga realized they were hiding something from him and he was definitely not happy about it.
Inuyasha who had been sitting there was oblivious to the world around him; he was too busy staring at Kagome. She looked, dare he think it, breathtakingly beautiful. He had seen many different sides of Kagome over the years, the sweet innocent girl, the slut, the badass, but never had he seen her look as beautiful as she was dressed so formally. Kagome, could feel his stare baring a whole through her yet, she dared not turn to face him, for some reason he had caught her eyes when she walked into the room. The moment her eyes caught his, her heart quickened, but that was not new to her. Though she hated him ferociously, he had always held that power over her, with on glint of his golden eyes that were filled with emotion; he could bring her to her knees.
"Hiedo- sama" Eiji said looked towards the open shoji, where Ayame stood next to her grandfather. Her grandfather stood at a magnificent height, his wisdom writing on the wrinkles on his ancient face, his light green eyes danced in joy as he saw his former pupils. "Eiji it has been quite some time" Hiedo was quickly immersed in the conversation of the room. Ayame made her way to the table and took her seat right next, she never made eye contact with him; she immediately turned to Inuyasha to strike up a conversation.
The void that was between Koga and Ayame left Koga miserable. He wanted to talk to her to tell her he did not mean what he said, but how could he without an explanation there was no point in apologizing. He was not going to apologize for being upset at her taking his ex-best friend's side over his, and Kagome's. Koga watched as she spoke with Inuyasha her eyes bright, she smile lighting up the room. The anger within him began to build again, but why?
The meal continued tension within the room was high, caused by the group of teenagers that sat at the end of the large dining table. When the meal was over Kei stood thanking every one for joining and began to talk about the finances, everything was going smoothly. After Kei was done speaking on the year's annual fiscal reports and how he was glad they had earned more money than they had spent this year. Hiedo stood up when Kei sat down, every one gave their full attention to him. "I am getting old" he said with a slight chuckle. "And though I will live for many, many more years, I know when enough is enough." Everyone looked on with curiosity especially Koga. Hiedo was a father figure to him, his parents were killed when he was very young and Hiedo took on the task of raising him.
Hiedo continued " I am going to be giving up my position as the head of my family, I am too old to still be doing these things, I named my successor long ago and that has not changed." He glanced over at his granddaughter the jewel of his heart. "Ayame will take over the clan, but many of you have inquired about her being female. She is stronger than most of you here so I hope that in turn you will respect her leadership and he ability through an objective point of view rather than seeing her as just a girl. But the one thing that has been going around more than the issue of Ayame taking over is the issue of who she will marry." Koga's eyes lit up as he looked at Ayame who seemed engaged in the conversation till this point, when her glowing green eyes dimmed and an uncomfortable aura surrounded her.
"Many have proposed that they are suitable to marry her, and I am sure those of you who have offered are. But it is not me; you must win over my granddaughter." He said "So for those of you who wish to discuss the matter please ask her." With that Hiedo sat down. Eiji decided to speak up from where he sat "well since we have reached the marriage proposal, part of this meeting, I must say that don't even think about asking me about my daughter or niece, that you have to speak with Kei about, so stop calling me guys." He said laughing whole heartedly. Some of the men in the room began to laugh, Kei glared at them, he was not ready to give his daughter away she was still a little girl only 18. The party continued with sake and everyone partook. Ayame decided she had enough of the laughter and drinking. She stood and walked out of the Shoji doors. She wandered to the coy pond and sat their stirring the water with a stick.
Koga watched her leave; it pulled at his heart stings to know something bothered her. "Koga you need to tell her" Kagome said gently. Koga looked up at her "Tell her what Kagome, what can I say that won't fuck this up even more" Koga growled out. "Tell her what you feel, tell her you love her." Kagome said trying to get it through her stupid stubborn friends head. "Kagome…I..I" he stuttered.
"Oh so I guess you ok with it then." She said looking past Koga and her eyes caught Inuyasha's. "Ok with what?" Koga asked regaining his confidence. "There are men in this room who want her, so you're ok with that. Your ok with the idea of someone else holding her hand, kissing her, marrying here, laying with her in bed, fathering her children" With each word she spoke Koga began to growl, and so did Inuyasha. Sango was the only one to pick up on it though. Koga and Kagome to engrossed in their own argument. "Who the fuck are you trying to kid Koga, because if you didn't love her you would not be pissed off by these facts." She said. Koga hated when Kagome read people, yes damn it he loved her he loved Ayame more than words could express, but he was not the best choice for her he hurt her so much how he could expect her to even forgive him, he knew he did not deserve her. "Get off your ass Koga and go get her before someone else does." Kagome said as she got up and walked out of the dining room and towards her own. Koga sat for a minute "The bitch for once in her life is right" Inuyasha said. Koga stood up "And what the fuck would you know about anything half-breed" Koga said as he walked out following Ayame's scent.
Sango Looked at Inuyasha whose eyes were down cast. "Inuyasha why, were you growling, when Kagome was talking to Koga." She asked curiously. Inuyasha looked up at Sango who held a deep concern.
"I don't know what you are talking about Sango. By the way where is Miroku?" he asked trying to change the subject as quickly as he could. "Miroku is visiting his Okasan" she said softly. Inuyasha wished he hadn't asked. Miroku had lost his Okasan when he was ten, and his Otousan had left to find himself after that leaving Miroku alone, but once a week he made a visit to his mother. Sango, who helped him through it all, was also afflicted by his sadness whenever he went. They sat in silence each pondering their own thoughts.
Rin smiled as she spoke with her Otousan, who laughed at every joke she made even when they were not funny. It had been almost a year since she had seen him and this time with him was wonderful. "So Rin are you and Taishō's boy together now or what?" Eiji asked
Sesshomaru listened as he spoke with one of his father friends, he was curious as to where Eiji's conversation was leading. Rin blushed a deep red. "Otousan, Sesshomaru and I are just friends as we have always been." She said shaking her head. "Why? I thought you were in love with that boy, I mean as far back as I can remember you both seemed so drawn to each other, like me and your Okasan." He said his mind traveling through his memories.
"Everyone thought you two for sure would be together, do you not love him any more Rin" he asked, he watched as sadness filled her eyes. "It's not that Otousan, it's the opposite" she said her voice filled with pain. "Oh I see so it is he who has lost his way to you." Eiji looked at Sesshomaru who seemed to be deeply engaged in conversation, yet he knew better, the Tashio boy was listening and that's exactly what Eiji wanted. He knew Rin loved that boy, but that boy had broken her heart and for that he would pay. "So are you planning on being a spinster since your ideal relationship did not pan out?" "No Otousan, I am with Hiten right now" she said her eyes shining with happiness.
"Oh Hiten, my well I must have a long talk with him then, when he gets back." He chuckled. "I bet this is why he accepted the last minute mission he did not want to be interrogated by me." Rin laughed. "Otousan he takes on missions because he wants to be promoted, right now he thinks his status in the clan is to lowly and he does not deserve me." She said thinking back to when Hiten told her that. "Oh so he plans to marry you then." Eiji commented a little saddened by the fact that soon a man would take his precious daughter away. "We have talked about it, he says he wants to marry me but we have to take each day one at a time." "Rin, do you want to marry him?" Eiji asked. Sesshomaru was anxious as he listened. "I don't know my mind wants to, it tells me it's the rational thing to do, I love Hiten he is one of my very best friends and he will always hold a special place in my heart, but my heart says that I don't not love him as a women who is marrying a man should. But I do believe if we do marry and we have children I can grow to love him more." She said tears prickling at her eyes. She picked up a cup of Sake and swallowed. Eiji watched as he daughter turned to the sake for comfort. He decided to drop the subject. He turned to Kei and Inu no Tashio and began to speak on other matters. Sesshomaru was infuriated, how she could allow herself to break down like this.
Koga stood at the corner of the house watching Ayame as she sat their twirling a stick in the coy pond. Her hair glittered beneath the full moon, her green eyes unfocused; she just looked so unbearable beautiful, he stifled a groan. Did she know she had this effect on him that all he had to do was be in her presence and sinful thoughts of her began to run through his mind? Did she know she was torturing him more painfully than any enemy of his could every hope they could.
Ayame was oblivious to him, until he was right behind her. She looked as he sat next to her, his ice blue eyes begging for her forgiveness. "Ayame" he spoke his voice deep and husky. She placed a finger to his lips. "I know Koga you don't have to "she said. He was annoyed at this and opened his mouth and bit her finger lightly. "Koga" Ayame gasped. She removed her finger and moved her hands behind her away from his line of sight, and turned her head from him.
Koga turned her face back to him "listen to me please Ayame." He said his voice pleading. "I am sorry I was stupid, I am always stupid around you, and I dunno what it is Ayame" he paused and looked into her emerald eyes. "But something about you drives me crazy." He said his voice strained. "When Hiedo –Sama said some of the men asked for your hand, I was pissed, but I didn't want to admit it. But then I was confronted and I realized that the thought of any man wanting to hold you, kiss you, to make you his own and give you a child, it made me want to stand up in that room and tear apart any man that even dared to look at you. I need you Ayame, I need you more then I have ever needed anyone in my life." He whispered.
His face was so close to hers his breath washed over her face, his lips right there. She was nervous his stare held such a primal force. "Koga what are…" she was cut off his lips brushed lightly against hers. She was shocked she tried to pull away. Koga put his arms around her pulling her closer. Koga kissed her forcibly; Ayame gave up her struggle and kissed him back her hands laced in his hair pulling him closer, she felt her back softly hit the ground. They broke apart Ayame and Koga breathing heavily, Koga groaned. He moved his nose to the nape of Ayame's neck; he inhaled deeply and dragged his fangs lightly over her skin. "Koga" she strained. He sat up Ayame still lying on the floor her mind racing. She sat up, looking at Koga lovingly "What does this mean? "She asked breathlessly. Koga pulled her close "Ayame I am yours if you will have me." Ayame smiled and threw her hands around Koga. No words needed to be exchanged they both knew what this meant.
He had been gone for sixteen days, he mind wondered to the lithe blonde, women he had met in the bar. He shook his head why was he thinking of her, he knew it was because he was deprived of the one he loved. They had been apart for almost three months, but it was worth it if it meant that one day he could proudly ask for her to be his wife and mate.
Walking towards Hiten was a short man, this was definitely Akiko. He had embezzled millions of dollars from Kei's company three years ago, and had been on the run since. His head was wanted and Hiten would gladly deliver it. Stealthily Hiten approached Akiko, he unsheathed his sword, and Akiko stood still. Hiten could hear his heart could hear Akiko's heart beating. Hiten now stood before Akiko who was unable to move. In one swift movement his head was on the floor blood pooling around his crumpling body. Hiten grabbed the discarded head, someone would be along shortly to clean the mess, but for now he was going to claim his prize.
She was drunk, terrible drunk, when she tried to stand she fell to the floor and began to laugh. Even her drunken laughter put a smile on Sesshomaru's face. She looked incredibly child like, it made him want to laugh just like when they were children. Eiji watched them, a small smile appearing on his face,
"Sesshomaru, my boy please take my fool of a daughter to her room, I think she has had too much fun for one night"
Rin sat up and scooted over to Sesshomaru, "Oh fluffy-sama please tell Otousan to let me stay" she whined.
Sesshomaru held back a chuckle and in a serious tone he spoke "Rin, the party for you is over, Lets go" He stood and held out his hand to Rin, she happily took it. Sesshomaru led Rin out of the dining room; they began to walk to the main house.
"Fluffy-sama stop" Rin cried out. He stopped on command. He turned to Rin who was now holding her stomach, "Rin what is the matter" before she could answer she leaned over the rail and heaved into the grass below. "I don't feel so well" she cried turning to Sesshomaru, tears streaming down her face. Sesshomaru walked over to her, he watched her sink to the floor. "Rin come on" he said softly holding out his hand again she took it, and he pulled her into his arms, picking her up, she rested her head against his chest and tears silently fell down her cheeks.
He carried her to her room; he opened the door and placed her on her bed. Sesshomaru turned to leave, but was stopped at the tugging at the back of his shirt. "Sesshomaru can you help me?" she asked a pink tinge covering her cheeks.
Sesshomaru though it was from the ample amount of Sake that she had ingested till she stood and turned around. He realized what she was asking; nothing was spoken as he began to untie the obi, and the smaller belts, her kimono fell to the floor leaving her in only the juban. The material was sheer, he shamelessly looked at her, his eyes followed the length of her legs, they were muscular yet feminine, his eyes traveled dangerously up to her round bottom, Sesshomaru groaned, it was perfect in his opinion and would be perfect for him to grasp as she… he shook his head of his inappropriate thoughts, as his eyes travelled up her back his eyes landed curiously on the tattoo, It was a sakura branch with beautifully decorated blossoms. He did not realize how close he had gotten to Rin, until she shuddered from the closeness.
The juban fell to the floor, his precious Rin stood bear before him, his mind was telling him to leave while he could, but his youkai commanded him to take her. He placed one hand on her hip, he pulled her against him his arousal was apparent. Rin shuddered as he pulled the ornament from her hair it flowed in waved down her back. "Sesshomaru-sama" Rin moaned as his breath fanned over the apex of her neck and shoulder. He wanted her, he knew she could feel how much, he knew she wanted him, he could smell her arousal. He turned her around to face him, her eyes held such deep emotion he could not decipher it all.
He pulled her naked body to his clothed one and took her lips, kissing her deeply. She untied his haori and pulled it off, she realized in her drunken stupor, she pushed away from him. She began to cry as she sank to the floor.
"Get out "she screamed at him. Sesshomaru grabbed his haori walked outside the door and stopped what had gone wrong when everything felt so right. "Hiten, I am sorry" he heard it clear, although it was a pain filled whisper, he realized what went wrong, and they could never be. He stormed away out of the house and out into the darkness, he needed an outlet for his frustration, and his youkai called for blood.
Kagome had changed out of her Kimono and into a red shirt and dark blue jeans, she grabbed her jacket and walked down towards the stairs, when she saw Sesshomaru rushing down them Shirtless. She decided to let it go today, whatever Rin had gotten herself into she could help her out tomorrow, but right now there was something Kagome needed to do. She walked out of the house and down the flowered path into her garden. It was filled with roses of every color, when her mother was pregnant she began a garden, and it was bestowed upon Kagome as her first birthday gift. Behind the tall rosebushes was a large rock wall that kept people out, or as Kagome saw it, it kept people trapped in. Lucky though behind the blood red rose bush was a large hole in the wall, Kagome's only means of escape. She cautiously moved the branches of the bush, and crawled out onto the street on the other side. Freedom, this rush always flowed through her when she escaped her cage. She began to walk down the street following the street lamps, the street was eerily quiet. She made it to a large three story building with flashing neon lights. "The Palace" the sign flashed brightly, she walked around to the back, and she entered the building through the back door. She was oblivious to the golden gaze that followed her.
When Kagome got inside, it was chaotic girls scantily clad were roaming about frantically. Kagome stormed from room to room looking and looking. She felt sick when she found what she was looking for. There in the corner shooting up was her sister, topless and being fondled by some old guy who was smoking a joint. Kagome walked over to her, this sight made her want to cry, she really didn't hate her, this was her sister, yes Kikyo hated her but Kagome could not make herself hate someone who she once idolized and looked up to .
"Kikyo come on we have to go before someone sends a search party" Kagome said softly. Kikyo was lost in an intoxicated state. Kagome tried helped her up, Kikyo stumbling over herself. "I am fine, leave me alone" Kikyo pushing Kagome off her. Kikyo walked past her. The old man on the couch stood up. "Who might you be beautiful?" he asked Kagome was disgusted. She left walking into the hallway to search for her sister once again. Kagome found her slumped over the only toilet, in the backstage area. Kagome found one of Kikyo's friends and retrieved her clothes, laying them next to her sister so she could change.
"What the hell do you think you're doing" came a voice. When Kagome looked she saw whom she recognized as the owner of the club that did business with the clan. "I am taking her home where she belongs and if you don't like it you can speak with my father." Kagome said angrily. "Do you honestly think I would keep her here as a dancer if I Hadn't" He said stubbornly. "Now you can either let her stay and go on your way or you can let her leave and you can stay in her place." He said. Kagome looked at Kikyo who was in no condition to do anything but be sick. Kagome decided at that moment, she took out her cell phone and dialed "Sango don't ask any questions just do as I say… That is an order. I want you to come to the palace and pick Kikyo up, take her home through my entrance don't let anyone see you, I will be their later."
With that Kagome hung up the phone she looked at the clubs manager. "So how does this work? How did you bribe my Otousan to let her dance here?" Kagome asked as he led her to the dressing room. "Well first of all it was not me who asked but my superior, he has dirt on Kei-sama or so he says and I believe that Kei-sama believes him or else she would not be here, and bedsides Kagome she has been doing this for so long and still you try to save her, it amazes me I though she hated you." He said. Kagome said nothing as she walked into the dressing room and began to strip in front of the manager," here" he through a white sequenced cover up at her that had snap buttons down the side, and a red thong and bra. Kagome changed quickly putting on high stiletto boots. She walked to the side entrance of the stage the music was blaring she took a deep breath as she sauntered on stage.
Sango Pulled around to the back of the Palace, she got out of the car and she spotted Kikyo slumped over, next to another women Sango recognized as one of Kikyo's friends. Sango looked at the girl sadly Kikyo was a mess. She tried to lift Kikyo but for being so thin she was surprisingly heavy. Suddenly the weight of the girl disappeared.
Sango turned and their standing before her was Inuyasha he opened the car door and placed Kikyo inside his eyes were glowing gold tinged with red. "Where is Kagome?" he growled out. "I don't know Inuyasha she just sent me to get her" she said pointing at Kikyo. "She went in their where is she?" Sango shook her head. "I haven't seen her I swear Inuyasha." Inuyasha wasn't listening he could smell her sweet cherry blossom scent; he rushed through the back door of the gentlemen's club.
His heart was pounding, he needed to find her, he needed her next to him, and he needed to protect her. There was Tamaki the manager of the club "Inuyasha what a pleasant surprise" he said. Inuyasha Growled threateningly and pushed Tamaki against the wall his clawed hand against his throat. "Where is Kagome?" he growled out through gritted teeth. Tamaki pointed to the side entrance of the stage. Inuyasha reluctantly let him go and rushed to the entrance of the stage, from the corner he saw her walking down the cat walk in a tight little dress, when she got to the pole she began to grind on it.
Inuyasha growled, he saw her hands move to the side of her dress and the sound of the buttons that held the fabric closed beginning to come undone. He could not control the ferocious sound that came from his deep within his chest and reverberating throughout the club causing a complete silence to fall except the music that was playing.
Kagome had reached the last button at the top of her outfit, a flash of silver, invaded her vision. She looked up into piercing Gold eyes, they were angry, scared and they had a hint of triumph. It was then Kagome realized that the small dress had fallen yet she was covered by a red haori, and before her stood a half clothed hanyou. He picked her up and carried her back stage.
"Put me down I have a job to do stupid" she said. He gave her a warning growl, but Kagome didn't care. "Put me down now asshole" she said as she kicked at him and punched him. Inuyasha chuckled, "If you want me to let you go you're going to have to try harder than that" he smirked down at her the haori she was wearing had fallen during her struggle, he looked over her vivacious body and licked his lips winking at her. "Pervert" She yelled as she pulled his hair. "Ow bitch" He whined, that had hurt. "Fine I will let you go" he said as he deposited her from his arms, Kagome winced and waited for the instant hurt, but it never came.
He had caught her mere inches from the ground. Kagome looked at him, for the first time since they were young adolescents she could hold not hate for him in her heart, and this scared her. He had brought her back to a place in her heart she never wanted to revisit, she had locked it and thrown away the key, yet her he was pulling the door open. When they had gotten outside his corvette was parked right behind the entrance. He placed Kagome in the passenger's seat and closed the door gently, he walked around and got in, putting the key in the ignition he looked at her, "you're going to tell me what happened." He said, as he started the car and took off.
Kagome sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she had the craziest dream, she tried to get out of bed but something was preventing her from moving any farther. She looked down an arm was wrapped protectively over her waist, her eye widened, she looked at the person next to her and her heart softened , his silver hair covered his beautiful face his puppy dog-ears drooping in his sleep. She smiled and moved her hand over to his ear, began to rub his ear gently, smiling at the purring noise he made in his sleep. She giggled when he tried to swat her hand away, she reluctantly removed her hand, but was stopped when his clamped over her wrist. His golden eyes opened and peered at her through silver strands of hair. He was pure perfection, laying there; he never had to do anything extraordinary to be the one that made her heart speed up.
"Kagome, you still haven't told me what happened last night." His words were spoken softly. Kagome looked around and for the first time she noticed, this was not her room, this was not her bed, and next to her the person she despised lay in nothing but boxers, and in his hand he held the key to her heart and his. "First you tell me why I am here in your bed" she looked down at herself; she was still wearing his Haori which barley covered what was left from her outfit from the club. "I asked first Kagome what were you and Kikyo doing at that place?" At the mention of her half-sisters name, reality hit her she was in bed with her half-sisters boyfriend, and if she told him the truth of why she was there, she was sure his heart would break, and no matter how much she hated him, or how much she wished to get back at Kikyo, Kagome could not do that, she knew what it was like to have your heart ripped to shreds and how hard it was to piece it back together again and keep it whole. "I don't want to talk about it okay, so if you could just let me go I am sure my family is wondering where I am." She said as she tried to pull herself from his grip, but he held her tighter. "I swear Inuyasha if you don't let me go I will purify you, without a second thought. "KA-GO-ME tell me why you doing at the Palace last night." The concern in his eyes broke her, she would lie, yes should lie and save him from heart break.
"I work their okay, to pick up some extra cash, and Kikyo she found out. She wanted to stop me cause if Otousan found out she would be blamed. She got their before I did and I don't know what happened but it was fucked up cause when I got their she was a mess." Kagome said as she moved to look out of the window. Inuyasha shook his head, why was she trying to hide the fact that she was lying, she had tried to cover her scent. He growled "Get dressed I am taking you home" he said angrily. "I don't have any clothes jack ass" she muttered.
"Third Drawer" he said as he left. Kagome walked to the dresser and opened the drawer, she was surprised to find her clothes where their neatly placed, they were from when she was younger and spent all her time at this place, and next to it was newer clothes, she grabbed them and went to the bathroom and put them on.
Kagome walked out of the room in a tight red tank top and denim shorts. She walked down the hall way and saw Inuyasha sitting on the couch, he stood up and walked to the door without even sparing her a glance. He dropped her off and sped off. She walked up the steps and into the house; it was quite till she got upstairs and heard Rin sobbing.
He speed down the Highway he was pissed, more than pissed his youkai, Tetsusaiga pulsated in the back seat, he was close. He arrived at a high rise apartment building in one of the upscale area of downtown Tokyo. He grabbed Tetsusaiga and went around to the alleyway. He jumped up to up on the balcony of the first story and continued to make his way to the twenty-fifth floor. He stood on the balcony, he was definitely in there. Inuyasha pushed the sliding glass doors off the tracks and onto the living room floor. A man rushed out of the room, holding a gun. A shot was fired it hit Inuyasha in the shoulder "Fuck that hurt" Inuyasha growled.
He advanced on the man before him. He stretched out his long clawed hands and gasped the man around the neck drawing blood the gun hit the floor. Inuyasha growled menacingly before he let go of the man, he withdrew Tetsusaiga. He positioned the blade at the man's chest right above his heart, the man could not even scream, because Inuyasha using his demon speed impaled the man. He withdrew his sword from the man and placed the sword above the dead man's throat and then slit it. This man was not worth of a proper death. He kicked the body onto the carpet and cleaned his blade on the couch; he walked out the front door and headed to the elevator.
