A sleeping form jerked upright in bed as he picked up his ringing cellphone from under his sheets.
Who the fuck calls this late? The Inu male quickly swiped to answer the call. "Hello? What the fuck do you want? Do you know what time it is jerk-off?" Inuyasha barked into the phone. His eyes quickly widen as he went silent.
"She's here..?" He said shallowly, his pulse racing. "Wait, where the fuck did you say you found her? A fucking strip club! What the fucking fuck?" He whimpered. Why would she strip at a strip club instead of coming back to them? To me?
Inuyasha quickly ended the conversation and flopped down onto his pillows. "Why didn't she just look for us? Why didn't she ask for help?" He whispered to the ceiling.
He heard the soft shut of his front door and checked the time. Oh. Her shift is over.
He heard slow footsteps down the hall. The creak of his door made him sit up on his elbows. He eyed her as she took off her smocks and made her way towards the bed. "Oh! You're up?" She whispered, with a large smile on her porcelain face.
"Yea, doll. I just got a call from lord asshole. I'll be back sometime," Inuyasha mumbled as he got up from bed slowly. His wife eyed him suspiciously.
"You don't normally go at his back and call, what's this time any different than the others?" She countered. What a hot head. "It's some important business thing he needs to speak with me about." He lied hesitantly, but he can't let her know now. Not when his first love is on the line.

After the dance was finished, and the boys had called a taxi and went for the night, he payed the waiter a nice tip.
"Thank you, sir!" She purred delightfully, obviously eyeing his fat stack. Disgusting. Sesshomaru cleared his throat as recognition and made his way to the front desk.
"Is there a Kagome, or a Higurashi working at the moment" He asked leisurely. He waited patiently until the male came back. After the man told him a curt yes, Sesshomaru asked to speak with her.
"H-hello." He heard a small, shaky voice behind him. He turned around slowly. There she was, her make-up done to perfection and her body shown in the skimpy outfit amazingly. He looked a little deeper and saw her slightly bruised face. He quickly came to conclusions on how her life has been.
"Hello, Kagome. " He said broadly, his deep voice rattling her nerves. He could tell she was on the verge of tears, and asked if he could take her home for the night. The male of course didn't care, and let her off her shift. "You owe me Kag." He called to her as he took her out of the club.
The car ride was silent, and all he could do was wonder. Why was she in this mess, and what happened to her face? Make-up can only hide so much from his keen eyes.
"Im sorry," she whispered. For what? He kept his eyes on the road. He didn't want to answer, he knew that she already would've known what his response was. "I got into some trouble when I came back, money trouble. My momma's sick.. I didn't want to get help. I'm sorry. I know you've been searching, I know." He could hear the shakiness of her voice and the soft sniffles.
He couldn't find an ounce of him to pity her. She did this to herself. He glanced at her scantily. She looks broken. He fixed his eyes back to the asphalt he was currently driving on, seeing the small yellow lines fly by in his peripheral. After a few minutes, Sesshomaru turned into a long driveway.
"Be glad Shippo did not notice you." He said delicately. She looked at him in horror. "That was Ship?" She whimpered, obviously ashamed. He replied with a deep "hn" and left it at that.
He parked outside of his home, and shut off his car. He looked to his right to see her in thought, and he could at least say she was beautiful. She has definitely grown.
Her long thick eyelashes were wet with unshed tears, and her cheeks took on a rosy hue. He felt a little bad for upsetting her.
"Let us come inside," He said as he exited the car lithely. Sesshomaru walked to the other side of the car, opening the door thus inviting her out. He heard a soft "thanks" as Kagome stared at the ground. Her self confidence was much lower than before, he noted that quickly. To think working a job that showed your whole body, you would be much more conceited.
He walked up the way, unlocking his door and holding it open as she followed behind. He took his shoes off, as did Kagome. She followed him to the kitchen where he poured them both fine wine. Sesshomaru gave her the glass and sat down waving her to the seat across from him as he did.
"We must talk, Miko," he paused softly thinking about his word choice. "I have also invited Inuyasha, whom will be here shortly." He said over the rim of his glass before taking a long sip. She eyed his throat after he swallowed, watching his prominent adam's apple bob. He set the glass down and drummed his pointed claws along the top of the marble table. He could hear her gulp down a harsh swig of the wine, and she exhaled softly.
"Okay, let's talk." She said, giving him a steely eye. That's more like it. He gave a nod of approval, as she started telling him about what her life as been like since she fell back down the well.
