Chapter 4- Newfound Consistency to Blush
This is a story about two opposing gangs fighting for one new member. Though a girl, she is easily one of the strongest beings in the country, or so her trophies say. But something foes wrong...the three deomns trying to recruit her...they fall in love with her! And she feels for the three as well. There is no way this can end well.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
The pizza boy angrilly knocked on the door for the third time in fifteen minutes, but he couldn't be heard over the good time inside the house. Finally fed up, He kicked the door seven times, startled when he heard an angry youkai yell for silence before swinging open the door.
"Whatever angers you have, i suggest next time you do not take them out on my door, human." Sesshomaru hissed, having been in more of a foul mood than usual because, not only was Kagome there, but she hadn't said more than two words to him and was currently laughing it up with Inuyasha.
"I, I...uh, p-pizza?" He asked, holding it up.
Sesshomaru stuck his hand into his pocket, pulled out 2,149.50 yen (20 american dollars). Once he took the pizza, he slammed the door without a word and carried it toward his half brother's room. His eyes narrowed and a growl began to build up in his chest when he saw that HIS Kagome was wrestling with his HALF brother. Waiting silently until he was noticed, he took his anger out on a slice of pizza.
Why are you even angry about that mere wench as you often refer to her? His beast taunted.
I do not. I simply do not wish for Inu-baka to do anything that will ruin our chance of having her to join us.
Riiiight.
He accidentally released a growl aloud, though it was only intended for his 'always right on time' beast.
Kagome glanced over to him and squealed as she fell off of the bed, Inuyasha tumbling onto her. "Oi, Sess, why'd you just come in my room like that?! We were busy!"
"I can see that." He said icyly, glaring at his younger sibling.
"Inuyasha," Kagome groaned painfully as the back of her head throbbed, "move you hands."
"Huh? I don't understand those words, Kagome." He smirked as one of his hand tightened its hold on her butt and the other on her breast.
She looked and him with a smirk. "Then shall I speak in a language you understand, baka?" She repeated what she had said in the ancient dog demon tongue.
His eyes widened. "How do you know that? Humans can't. Especially not miko."
"Yeah. Well, I'm an exception. For some reason, I was born with the knowledge of all languages known to men and youkai. Dunno why. Don't ask. Just get off." She watched him get up before taking the hand he offered. "Besides, one of my ex boyfriend did a study on it."
"Ex boyfriend? What do you mean by that?"
She giggled, taking a slice of pizza from Sesshomaru. "Thanks, Sesshomaru-san. Inuyasha, it an exboyfriend is when you go out with someone, it doesn't work out, so you break up. I'm sure you're someone's ex." She maneuvered around the room. "But then again, with your grades, attitude, eating habits, and lack of cleanliness, maybe you aren't."
"As a matter of fact, I am." he walked to her side confidently.
"Really? So...some idiot allowed you to get away?" She shook her head. "I never knew such morons existed. I never would have let go."
He leaned again his dresser, wanting Sesshomaru to hear the answer to his next question. "What do you mean be that?"
Kagome smiled softly, flopping on his bed. "Even you aren't that dense, Inuyasha, You just want to hear my compliments." A smirk replaced her smiled, "But what I meant is, you're cute, actually pretty smart when you try, occassionally sweet, and fun to be around." She laid her face on his pillow. "And you smell nice. I guess you and Sess inherited that from your father. Lord Inutaisho smells wonderful, like a pure, clean forest after it rains."
Inutaisho leaned in the doorway and smiled. "Why, thank you."
Gasping, Kagome shot up, a blush rising on her face. "L-lord Inutaisho." Gathering herself, she stood and bowed. "It's nice to meet you again, sir."
"Again." Sesshomaru stated rather than asked.
"Yes. He attended my mother's funeral. If he hadn't been there, my father surely would've fallen into a state of dispair. As well as I and my brother, Sota. I'm not sure if I thanked you, Lord Inutaisho."
Inutaisho chuckled. "There is no need to be so formal, Kagome. You may call me anything from Tai to second father. After all, you are the daughter I wish I had instead of these two." He opened his arms to her.
Kagome laughed, wrapping her arm around him and inhaling his scent. "Your scent was what calmed me when I thought I'd break down, Tai. And you truly did pass it down."
"Thank you for the compliment." He stroked her head affectionately.
Groaning when her phone rang, Kagome backed away, her eyes widening when she read the caller i.d. "Nani? Why are you calling me?"
"Kagome, you do not sound happy to hear from me."
"No. I suppose I don't sound happy to hear you. That really should tell you something, Muso-kun, I mean -san." She bit her lip and stared at her feet.
"You called me -kun."
She scowled. "I meant -san. You're not -kun anymore. How did you even get my number?"
Muso smirked. "I have my ways."
"Do the words Restraining Order mean anything, because I'm two seconds from getting one for you. I want you to state the nature of your call within the next five seconds or I will hang up and change my number."
"Kagome, my love, I wish to see you."
"Why are you doing this? Honestly? You don't have feelings for me anymore and that's mutual. I'm a little busy with some friends right now."
Muso frowned. "My dear, I have never stopped caring for you. I still very much love you."
Her eyes filled with tears. Oh, how long had she wanted so badly to hear those words?! Since they're break up months ago! When he hurt me so badly!
She could remember her words clearly. "Muso! Did you hang up on me?! Muso!" Kagome growled, folding her phone shut. "I am so going over there!" She had rushed over to his home, only to find him in the arms of her cousin, Kikyo, who had moved there from America, and now was gone again, hopefully forever.
"Don't lie to me, Muso. I'm not as gullible as I used to be. Your saying you love me will do nothing to change the fact that I hate you with every fiber of my being."
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha angrily looked to their father, hoping to find out what had happened and who this guy was, but Inutaisho only gazed at Kagome with concerned and angry eyes.
"I would not lie to you. Seeing how badly I hurt you, it's so hard to live with myself. I need you by my side. I made a mistake because...because..."
"Because you wanted sex and I wasn't ready?" She laughed bitterly. "Well, you got it from my cousin, so why don't you call her up."
"Kagome, I've changed. I joined the Kuro Chi Yakuza a little back and, Naraku doesn't let me off easy because we're related. He's made me work hard, made me think. I miss you."
She smirked. "And you'll miss me even more in hell, Muso Onigumo."
"Kagome, give me another chance. You have to!"
Kagome back away from Inuyasha, Inutaisho, and Sesshomaru. "I don't have to do anything. You're testing my patience. Please, I am not in the right location to be angry."
"Kagome, I could never stop loving you! I will have you again!"
Kagome's hand caught alight with her miko energy, burning her phone into oblivion. She began to breath heavily, trying to ignore what just happened. Why didn't I ask them to leave while I was on the phone?! They'll hae questions! She forced herself to smile and looked up. "Well, uh, Inuyasha, wanna watch me and Sesshomaru practice for the swim meet?"
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her. "Sure...Um, are you okay?"
"Me? Oh, I am totally fine. If you ever see him, don't tell my aniki-san. He'll try to handle it as always." She grabbed her swimsuit from her bag, and hugged Inutaisho again. "It was nice seeing you, Lord Tai." Se headed off toward the bathroom.
After Kagome was gone, Inutaisho let out a long breath. "I'll tell you what I know of it when she leaves. I just hope she can handle the scum. Have fun boys, but not too much. Like I said, she's like a daughter to me. I don't want her hurt." With that, he turned and left. "Oh, and inuyasha, you can't watch them. It's your turn to do the evening dishes."
"Oi, why do you let the help go so early?!"
Sesshomaru rose from under the water, smirking at Kagome as she gasped for air. She glared at him, smacking his arm playfully. "Hey, we can't all have strong, youkai lungs."
He smirked at her. "If you were to mate a demon." Why did This Sesshomaru utter that?
"Mate a demon? Good idea. Who knows what powers I'll get." She swam closer and grabbed his arm. "Would you be my mate?" Her serious face bursted with laughter when Sesshomaru appeared shocked. "You, the mighty Sesshomaru, was actually shocked! And you showed it! Kami, that's funny!"
"Oh, is it?" Sesshomaru asked with an elevated eyebrow. "I assume this is as well?" His arms surrounded her waist, draggin her beneath the water. As they waded beneath the water, he opened his eyes to see her smiling at him, before turning and swimming away quickly. Hm, a game of cat and mouse? Or shall I say, dog and cat. Eagerly, he chased after her, not swimming to his full potential to give her a chance for a while. But when Kagome shifted gears, bursting through the waters of the large pool, he picked up the pace and caught up with her. His hand grabbed her ankle, and he smirked when she whirled around. His smirk disappeared quickly when he rammed into her, unable to stop himself because of the water pressure, and their lips connected.
Kagome's eyes widened as she felt Sesshomaru's soft lips move against hers, applying a little pressure. She shivered slightly when one of his arms rounded her waist and the other pressed the back of her head to make her come closer. She gasped, water rushing into her mouth. I'm kissing Sesshomaru Tashio! Oh, I was! Now, I'm drinking this pool water! She swam up to the top with Sesshomaru and panted. Once again, she held him tight, breathing against his neck. "It's too often that I leave my mouth open underwater. That was just a tad unexpected." She muttered, trying to hide her flushed face from his vision.
"Yes. It was." Sesshomaru released her quickly and got out of the pool. "We are done for the night. I will see you Sunday evening."
"Oh, um, okay. Sure. Mind if I swim for a bit." She sighed when he nodded and left. Youkai! You have the nerve to kiss me then just abandon me as though I've done something wrong! Ugh, I hate Sesshomaru. She turned when she felt someone swimming toward her. "Inu!" She called happily.
He smiled. "Hey, Kag! What, did you just call me Inu?"
She cocked her head to the side. "Yeah. And you just called me Kag."
"It fits you." He flirted, grabbing her hands. "I saw Sess come in and decided that it wouldn't be gentlemen like if I left you out here alone."
"Wow, you are better than Sesshomaru." She giggled, jumping on his back. "Hey, I've got an idea. Let's get out of the pool, and then we can fall backwards into it."
Inuyasha nodded and got out of the pool, standing at the edge. "Ya ready?"
Kagome strengthened her hold on him, placing her mouth near his ear. "Ready as I'll ever be. Oh, and jump up a little."
"You got it." He leapt a ways into the air, laughing along with Kagome as they came crashing down into the water. When they were back to the surface, he smirked, "You look cute drenched in water."
"So do you." She flirted, running her fingers through his hair. "Your hair's so long. Can I braid it? Please?"
He shook his head. "I don't think so, vixen."
"Come on. I'd get on my knees but then I'd be about twenty feet below water. Come on, Inu. Pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease!"
"Fine, but first, I get to ruin yours."
Giddily, Kagome nodded and dragged Inuyasha out of the pool and over to a lawn chair. After she pushed him down into the chair, she sat between his legs, leaning so that he could do her hair. Inuyasha repressed his arousal as he sniffed and combed through her lucious black hair. Kagome relaxed completely against him with a quiet yawn. "So, Inu, tell me something about you that I don't know."
He purred softly when he felt her hands moving p and down his shin. "My mom died too. Only she died when I was four. I hardly remember what she looks like. But I know she loved me. I remember everything about her, just not the way she looks. I can remember every song, every story, every caring thing she ever said. I thought she was perfect. I thought she'd stay with me forever. But hey, with a ningen mom, you really shouldn't expect that."
"I know. But being a ningen isn't always bad. It's being a ningen that allows me to be the way I am. My being mortal makes me curious. It makes me different from youkai. I can feel. I can love. I can hate. I can lay my life on the line for someone. Demons aren't like that. It's rare to find one who can do all of that. Basically impossible, I think. And besides, living forever is over rated. After a while, your life begins to repeat itself. Nothing will be new. There will be no surprises. And at the end of the day, you go to bed, knowing when you wake up, everything will be the same."
Inuyasha froze, looking down at her. "I never thought something so...wise could come out of someone so young...and beautiful." He breathed sharply when Kagome turned to face him. "I-I uh..."
She smiled and cuddled into his arms, blushing heavily. "Thanks. For some reason, it seems so much better hearing that from you than some of the guys who say it at school. It sounds truthful from you." She leaned to kiss his cheek, but her lips were guided to his when he grabbed her jaws gently. The kiss was firm, lasting three minutes straight. Inuyasha kisses so nicely, as does Sesshomaru. But Inuyasha won't run away from me because he's afraid of his feelings. She nuzzled deeper into his arms. "Tell me more about you, please."
"Uh, being in a yakuza isn't as bad as you think, Kagome." He stared up at the moon. "It gives us a bond. We look after each other. No one goes without protection. I'll admit, we do fight alot and we kill, but that's not all, Kagome. So, what do you think?" He frowned when she didn't answer. "Kagome?" Her soft, even breathing reached his ears. She's asleep. She's so cute. Adjusting her in his arms, he stood and entered the house. "Old man," He started, approaching his father, "Kagome fell asleep."
"Let her stay in your room." He scowled at Inuyasha's smirk. "Don't try anything with her, Inuyasha. I mean it."
"I won't."
Inutaisho shrugged skeptically. "Of course you won't. I'll call her father. Just try not to wake her. She has been busy today with you, Sesshomaru, and Naraku."
"How do you know about Naraku?"
Inutaisho smirked, lifting his cup to his pursed lips. "You and Sesshomaru have competition for Kagome's sweet little heart. He called her phone a while before she burned it to tell her that he was more than ready for Act 7, scene 9. I looked in Kagome's script which she had left on the coffee table. That is one very heated kissing scene, my son. I suggest you win her over before he does. He is the son of a con man. Very persuasive." Kissing Kagome's forehead, he left his now outraged son.
Inuyasha growled, holding her closer. "Naraku can not have you, Kagome. As of now, you are mine."
"Is that so?" Sesshomaru appeared out of nowhere.
"What the?!" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes to glare at his brother furiously. "Yeah, that's so. And she seems happy with me. So she's mine."
"Oh, really?" Sesshomaru asked boredly. "And when we kissed in the pool, that was..." He trailed off purposely. "She is not yours, little brother."
Inuyasha snarled. "So you want a human now? Well, find another. She's mine."
Kagome fisted Inuyasha's shirt in her sleep. "So noise, baka. Whatever you two are arguing about can wait until the morning, K?"
"Okay, Kagome."
She smiled and drifted off completely. Mine? What's his? Some Ramen, no doubt. Inu-kun downed a few cup and still managed to eat over half the pizza.
"You heard MY Kagome, Sess."
"She is not yours, and will never be. Remember that, half breed." He glided to his brother, pushing Kagome's bangs from her face and kissing her forehead. "Goodnight, MY Kagome." He then proceeded to retire to his room.
"Bastard!"
Kagome stirred. "Inu-kun." She whimpered.
"Sorry, Kag. Let's go to bed." Kun? He smiled, resting her in his bed before joining her. Holding her flush against his chest, he felt content. "You are mine, Kagome."
In her sleep, Kagome moved closer and intertwined their legs. "So safe."
"Yes. Safe from everything when we are in each other's arms." Slightly shivering at her touch when her hands crept under his shirt and scraped her nails against his back, he allowed himself to fall asleep in the safety of his Kagome's arms.
"Okay, Naraku and Kagome, or shall I say, Nobuo and Amaya," Sasaki-sensei began, talking into his mega phone, "this is the most heated, sexually explicit scene in the play. Act 7, Scene 9! I am ready whenever you are!"
Kagome took a deep breath, peering out the curtain. I wonder why both Inu-kun and Sesshomaru decided to come watch. Ignoring it, she prepared her mind for the scene before turning to Naraku with a smile. "So, you ready, Raku-kun?"
Before school that morning, she had met up with Naraku so they could practice. After talking a little, Kagome realized that Naraku was not like everyone said, malicious, evil, manipulative. She thought he was sweet, caring, handsome. After a little, she found herself blushing whenever he looked her way of smiled at her. Though she hadn't realized, she was falling for all three of her demon 'friends.' And that would prove to be her downfall.
"Of course, 'Gome." He said, lifting a clawed hand to her chin. "Two drunk love birds, we are."
"Who are you, yoda?" She laughed through her blush. "We're playing two drunk love birds. Let's go out there." She took his hand and they stumbled believably drunkenly onto the stage. "Oh, Nobuo, d-dahling, that wuz a pawty to wival all pawties, wasn't tit?"
Naraku nodded, cloaking his arms on her hips. "Yes, d-deah. Yes, itwas." He chuckled tipsily along with her as they toppled to the ground. "I do not be-lieve I've ever dr-druken so much s-sake in my life." He murmured as he laid on top of her.
Kagome reached up, lacing her hands in his hair. "Tell me...are y-yoo too ty uhhed (tired) to pwease me?"
"I cud nevew be too t-ty uhhed to please yoo m-my wife." He inclined his head, but just before they touched...
"CUT!" Rang through the gym.
Sasaki-sensei scowled. "That is my job! Who ever said it, silence! Kagome, Naraku, wonderful job, keep going on that road! Start at Kagome's asking about Nobuo pleasing her!"
Kagome scowled. "What is Inu-kun doing?"
Naraku smirked, kissing her forehead. "He does not wish to see us kiss. However, he has no choice."
"Tell me...are y-yoo too ty uhhed (tired) to pwease me?" Kagome said again, fighting back a giggle and a blush as she felt his hand tip toe up her thigh.
"I cud nevew be too t-ty uhhed to please yoo, m-my wife." Naraku repeated, his fierce red eyes taunting Kagome as he stroked her and pressed his lips to hers.
Kagome groaned and wrapped one of her legs around Naraku's waist, allowing him to grip her thigh. "I so can't believe I'm doing this in public." She whispered, gasping when he bumped against her, allowing her to feel just how aroused he truly was. "Oh my Kami, you are..."
"Yes." He whispered, bumping her again, "I am." His whisper soon became a loud grunt, "Amaya, I can not wait to take you, my sweet."
"I can not wait for you to, my husband."
"Cut!" Rang out again, this time coming from a deeper, more demanding voice. Sesshomaru strolled to Sasaki-sensei. "This is not how I envisioned this when I assisted in teh writing."
Sasaki-sensei smirked. "You did not write this part, so you really have no say, Sesshomaru."
He growled. "I think I do. My name is partially on the script."
The conversation was stopped by a giggle. Kagome gasped for air between laughs as she pushed Naraku. "Down boy! Down! Off! Stop!"
"No. I do not think I will." He tickled her harder, chuckling. Since when do I find joy doing something that is not, as others would say, evil? "And I am not the dog, so 'Down' will not work. Try on Inuyasha."
"Hey, you wanna start something, spider-boy!" Inuyasha snarled.
"Pup, we're busy. Vanish."
Inuyasha shook his head. "No way. Not until you move away from Kagome."
"Inu-kun?" Kagome began, only to be interrupted.
"That will not happen anytime soon." Naraku retorted.
"I think it better, or I'll skin you alive!"
Sesshomaru appeared beside his brother. "Neither of you halflings ill do a things while Kagome is near. If she is harmed..."
"What?!" Inuyasha and Naraku yelled out.
"Shut up!" Kagome cried, gaining there attention. She pointed to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, "You and you, follow me. You, Naraku, prepare for my return. Come on, bakas." Kagome began to lead them out. Once outside the auditorium, she pushed the two against a wall. "What the hell is your problem?!"
Inuyasha folded his arms and turned away. "Feh."
Sesshomaru averted his gaze. "Hn."
"If this is about your stupid Yakuza, I'll think about it. Just, stop pausing this thing. Everytime you yell cut, I'm left to do this scene over and over. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen! But I plan to be a world wide actress, so if starring in this stupid, highschool play is going to prepare me, I will do all I can to be sure my part is well played!" She hissed, before turning and storming away.
Inuyasha sighed. "Kami, she scared me." He walked off down the hall, Sesshomaru silently going the same way.
Naraku wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist as they walked toward the parking lot. "I see you got the dogs to leave us be, 'Gome."
"I don't understand. This stupid recruiting thing is messing with everyone's head. I don't see why they think us being in a play together will automatically make me want to join you. I'm torn. I really don't want to join one. But I don't want to have to leave if I don't." She sighed, resting her head on his shoulder. "I don' t know what to do."
"Calm yourself, tenshi. You will find the right path soon. I am sure of it." He stopped her and turned her to face him, meanwhile gazing into her eyes. "Okay?"
She tried to look away, but he wouldn't let her. With blush steaming on her face, she whispered, "Okay."
"Feel comfortable with me, Kagome." He crushed his lips into hers needily.
Kagome didn't know what to say, but she kissed back just as hard...and she enjoyed it as much as the delicate kiss from Sesshomaru and the somewhere-in-the-middle kiss from Inuyasha. When she backed away, she stared at the ground and bit her lip, stunned when she felt a tongue on her neck.
"I said be comfortable, my tenshi." He ceased tasting her neck and left her with a gentle goodbye kiss.
"Sesshomaru's kiss. Inuyasha's Kiss. Naraku's kiss. All so amazing, yet so different. What am I going to do?!" She slammed her head into a locker.
