Kagome smiled at herself in the mirror turning in a slow circle. Kagome tucked her neatly brushed hair behind her ears and fluffed up her bangs slightly as she pressed her lips together lightly spreading the clear raspberry flavored lip-gloss out evenly.

'Oh yeah, this'll show him'. She thought to herself as she remembered back to him calling her short, nerdy and ugly.

Smokey paced back and forth in front of the bathroom door bouncing slightly as she did so, a look of pure annoyance on her face. It was Saturday night, Aya was out, Kagome was leaving and she really had to go pee.

She rapped on the door lightly and said in a overly sweet voice.

"Kagome, could you please hurry up?" A muffled reply came from behind the door.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a minute." Smokey growled in slight frustration.

"You said that ten minutes ago!"

… Five minutes later…

Kagome emerged from the bathroom her hair nicely done, a small amount of make-up on her face, and a spaghetti-strap light purple dress accenting all of her womanly features nicely. Smokey pushed past her.

"About time!" She practically slammed the door and Kagome huffed opening her mouth to complain that she hadn't said anything about her outfit when she to heard Smokey from behind the bathroom door.

"You look nice Kagome." Kagome smiled happily running her hands over the dress slowly.

"I'll be back sometime tonight." Smokey growled suddenly and stuck her head out of the door.

"Try to be back before dawn." Kagome giggled.

"Yes mother." She said sweetly then giggled again as Smokey winced.

"On second thought, you can stay out as long as you want to."

Kagome walked out of the dorm building tucking her hair back behind her ears and looked around cautiously but with a bounce in her step. She walked out into the garden determined to find InuYasha. She knew she was his 'slave' now for a week but she still could show him up while she was at it. She walked over to the bench she spent many study sessions on and sat down.

Kagome waited for about fifteen minutes looking around and humming softly before a hand pressed against the back of her neck lightly and she felt a warm breath in her ear.

"You smell good." The voice sent a more or less comfortable shiver up her spine.

"Do I?" Her voice shook slightly with the after effects of the shiver.

"Mm Higurashi, if I didn't know better I'd say that you have some uncontrolled emotions about you." Kagome swallowed.

"Well, I guess you don't know any better Taishou." InuYasha smiled and leaned forward pressing his cheek to hers.

"That would be Taishou-sama, my bitch." Kagome managed a small snort.

"I'm not a bitch but unfortunately I am your slave." InuYasha growled softly, he wanted that control over her, wanted her to be completely his for the week.

"For the next week, your whatever I want you to be Kagome." Kagome's breath hitched in her chest as his deep voice holding many emotions seemed to echo in her head.

InuYasha stood up straight letting go of the back of her neck and looked down at her back as she stood. He watched her eyes as she moved around the bench gracefully then they roamed slowly over her body. She felt a blush run up the back of her neck.

"Higurashi, you're looking awful nice, where do you think you are going tonight?" Kagome shifted and felt her plan to show him up slowly backfire.

"Where ever you want me to go, Taishou-sama." She muttered. She forced the honorary to his name and he could tell.

"Good." He gave her a cocky grin.

"I hope this week passes fast, I can't wait to get away from you already." She said defiantly up at him her feathers ruffled by the grin he used so easily.

He grabbed her wrists lightly yet sternly.

"Oh? And why is that?" He asked with a monotonous voice.

"I have a promise to keep." He pulled her closer and her chest brushed lightly against his.

"A promise to who and what about?" Kagome let out a slightly frustrated noise.

"I do not wish to be so close to you and it's not like it's any of your business, Taishou...sama." She added on as an after thought.

He growled loudly yanking her forwards and pressing his lips roughly to hers. She let out a startled gasp and put her hands on his chest pushing as hard as she could. He let her go suddenly and she fell back with a soft noise, expecting to hit the ground, only to be caught around the waist.

"Was that close enough?" He growled lowly into her ear. "Because if it wasn't I could get a lot closer." Kagome felt him rest his hand lightly on her thigh and she shook her head no. Not really nervous, but not exactly calm either. He moved his hand up from her thigh to her hip ignoring the painfully obvious feel of her through the thin dress. Kagome's breath sped up a notch.

"Since you're my slave now...I can do anything I want with you." He whispered huskily in her ear.

"Why would you want me anyway?" Her voice was soft and slightly startled at the implications in his.

"Think about it Higurashi, your body is practically perfect and you're the type to put up a good struggle. I can already hear you moaning out my name as I thrust into you." If possible InuYasha's voice deepened. Kagome's cheeks burned and she squashed down the feelings stirring up within her.

"'Wh.....who says I would put up a fight?" InuYasha bit her neck lightly and her whole body flinched in surprise. He leaned back to look at her face. A mixture of surprise, confusion, panic, and a very small amount of lust lingered there. He grinned suddenly and released her.

"You're so easy Higurashi." He took a step back from her and she stared at him blankly as he held out his hand to her. "Come on…let's go get something to eat." She meekly took his hand, confused as he pulled her forward looping an arm around her waist and led her out of the garden.

Stealing a shy glance at him she noted his handsome profile. He glanced to the side at her and she quickly looked at the ground slide, caught off guard. InuYasha chuckled giving her waist a small squeeze.

"Why so shy Higurashi?" Kagome bristled.

"Well, I'm not like you. I get embarrassed easy." InuYasha mocked hurt.

"So you're saying you're embarrassed to have me so close to you?"

Kagome bit her tongue knowing better than to say anything about their closeness again if she planned to keep her heart beating through the night. He stopped in front of a car and looked down at her turning to face her fully. Kagome slowly looked up at him, her heart aching a bit in her chest.

"What…?" She shifted as he grinned down at her.

"You look very beautiful tonight Kagome." Her heart stopped and didn't start up again until after she was seated in his car, and he closed his own door slicing through the silence with a question a smile evident in his voice.

"Anywhere you want to go?" He kept his tone casual and she managed to shake her head.

"No; where ever you want to go is fine."

InuYasha inclined his head slightly in thought before taking off out of the gates of the school.

"What kind of food do you like?" She blinked rapidly, trying to process the chance in attitude.

"Erm…the edible kind?" He laughed.

"All right then. We'll just keep the plastic substitutes to a minim then." Changing gears he glanced over at her and shifted a bit in his seat.

"So do you have a boyfriend Higurashi?" Her brows furrowed as she looked out of the window, a blush rising on her cheeks.

"No, but I've been asked a few times." He looked straight again and the remainder of the ride was held in thick silence.

He pulled up to a fairly run down looking building, old paint peeling and the light outside of it flickering like it couldn't decide if it had enough electricity or not. He got out and walked over to her side of the car, opening the door for her.

"Not that I mind or anything, but since I'm the slave, shouldn't I be the one to open your door?" She glanced at his face as she stood, straightening the dress.

"Even though you're my slave you look like a real lady right now, so I'm being a gentleman." The insult rolled so smoothly off of his tongue she had to think about his statement twice to catch it. Kagome grumbled.

"Gee, thanks Taishou-sama, I appreciate your immense hostile...I mean hospitality." She said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. Moving past him she didn't catch his small smirk and wouldn't have known what it was about until he reached forwards and plucked her back by the back of her dress.

"The place we are going into is a sort of club. Try not to stray too far from my side unless you want to end up having some stranger take you to their house and do really nasty things to you." He whispered in her ear and she shuddered involuntarily.

"I'll keep that in mind." He released her and smacked her ass lightly.

"Good." She let out a surprised and slightly angry yelp as she glared at his back as he walked away from her chuckling.

Smokey flipped the page of her novel, sitting up as she read and leaned closer so that her nose was nearly touching the words. She was really into the book, and it was the final fight scene and she just knew someone was going to die. There was a kick to the chest, to the knee, then a punch to the stomach, the hero coughed up blood and the villain laughed; and the laugh sounded like…a cell phone? She paused and looked up to where her cell phone was ringing on the bedside table with an annoyed noise. Reached over she mashed the silent button and was satisfied when the sound stopped. Turning back to the book she re-read the paragraph. There was s kick to the chest, to the knee, then a punch to the stomach that had the hero couching up blood and the villain laughing…riiiiing

"Oh for fucks sake!" She snatched up her cell phone, flipped it open and growled into the receiver. "What the hell do you want?" The answer at the other end faltered slightly.

"Ah…did I catch you at a bad time sis?" He remembered back to the time she was with her first lover and blanched. Smokey sighed and marked her book, snapping it closed and stood.

"No Hunter it's fine. What do you need?" She quickly got to the point wanting to get back to the book and stretched her back as she walked around the empty room.

"I was just wondering what you're doing tonight. I thought we could go and drink our sorrows away of being lonely and single." She raised a brow.

"What about that one girl who always hangs on you? What's her face...sat on a pin or something like that?" Hunter's brow twitched slightly and he huffed.

"Her name is Satsuki...Akai Satsuki." Smokey rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. Anyway, what happened to her?"

"Her and the other girls went to some club. I didn't feel like tagging along, or being hanged on the whole time." Smokey made a noise and smiled.

"So you mean you want to drown your sorrow. Misery and company and all…" Hunter snorted.

"Same difference." She chucked.

"All right then bro. I'll go and get a drink with you. But you know if we get caught we'll be kicked out of the school." Hunter shrugged in indifference.

"So? We just don't get caught."

...

InuYasha pushed Kagome into the club by the small of her back. Looking around she could see that only people from the school were there and frowned a bit. Her gaze roamed over the bar and she wasn't shocked to see the lowest, moronic people of the school sitting there laughing loudly over drinks and slurred words.

There was a dance floor in the middle, where couples bumped and grinded against one another and surrounding the floor were tables with a few private booths against the walls. As shitty as it looked on the outside, the inside made up for it an then some. Even if the people weren't classy, the place sure as hell was.

InuYasha led her to a booth and slid in motioning for her to do the same. She moved into the seat and before she could get settled back against it a cheery looking red head moved up to the table, smiling brightly.

"Hey Taishou! How's it been going? What can I get you today?" InuYasha smiled charmingly up at the girl.

"It's been going good Tsubame. Just get me my usual and whatever this chick orders." Tsubame turned to Kagome and gave her a pleasant smile that Kagome couldn't help but return.

"What would you like?" Kagome fidgeted.

"Can I have a coke and whatever's good to eat." Tsubame nodded. "Sure thing Chicky. It'll be a couple of minutes."

InuYasha stretched his arm out behind the back of the seat slowly his gaze roaming around the room then settling on Kagome's face.

"Your really tense Higurashi. Maybe you need to get laid." Kagome's head snapped in his direction startled then slightly outrage.

"What?" She hissed between clenched teeth and he smirked at her.

"You heard what I said." Kagome's brow twitched.

"You moronic pervert." InuYasha raised a brow.

"Oh? Then what should I call you? The Virgin Mary?" Kagome's face heated up like a glowing coal in anger and embarrassment.

"And just what makes you think I'm a...a...virgin?" She hissed in his ear. InuYasha shifted, leaning forward so that his lips rested against her neck as he spoke.

"Well let's see here. Mm, because for one, you are so easy to embarrass and number two," His lips pressed to her smooth skin barely. "That's for me to know and you to find out." He mumbled against her neck his warm breath blowing across it causing a small electric jolt to run through her body.

Slowly she reached up and set her hands on either side of his face, her thumb brushing over his lower lip gently.

"InuYasha- sama?" She whispered, leaning close enough so her breath brushed against his lips and his eyebrows shot up a bit in surprise.

"Yes?" She shifted again, a dark look crossing her face as she grabbed his cheeks, pulling the skin away from the bones.

"I swear if you don't stop touching me I'm going to leave you without anything to deflower a rat with."

"Ow ow ow! Fuck, shit! Ow!" She let him go and sat back crossing her arms over her chest. He rubbed his cheeks with a slight pout.

"That hurt."

"Good!" Kagome snapped and Tsubame giggled as she walked up carrying a tray.

"You two are so very cute together." InuYasha grinned and Kagome snorted. Smiling, Tsubame sat down two plates in front of them; both had a Cheeseburger and fries. She handed them their drinks then walked off just as cheerily as she came.

Kagome picked up a fry, nibbled it then smiled softly to herself eating it slowly. He watched her for a moment then grinned, eating his own. They sat in comfortable silence as they ate, the music playing only a few feet from them seemed non-existent to the couple.

InuYasha finished first and leaned back, rubbing his hand over his stomach and sighed with a pained expression.

"Hn…it was so good, but maybe I should have slowed down a bit." He grumbled and Kagome picked up a fry, biting off the end of it.

"Pigs always eat fast." She said in a cheerful tone then froze as her eyes locked with the crystal blue ones of Nanami's.

"Ohohoh! Kikyou-sama, look who's over there on a nice little date with your man!" Kagome's hair stood on end from the laugh and she flicked her gaze quickly to InuYasha.

Kikyou turned in her seat, looking over at InuYasha and Kagome slowly, her eyes icey.

"Well, well, well. Look what the mutt dragged in."
