Enjoy! Am I on a roll are what?

Inuyasha

After the concert ended around eight, an hour later than expected, people started flooding out of the seats like there was free money out in the parking lot. Tsubaki and Kagura had made a mockery out of themselves the entire time, throwing themselves at men who walked past our seats and shaking their asses in the faces of the women seated behind them trying to see the stage. Blues is not a booty-shacking music; it is slow-grinding, finger snapping music, but they were acting like Jay-Z and Kanye West were performing.

We had quite a way to walk back to our car, and I was ready to get the hell away from Kikyou friends. I couldn't wait to get back to the house so they could hop in Kagura's car and roll out. They had been talking about hitting two or three clubs later that night. Good for them; that meant I could have some quality time with Kikyou. Things were still tense since I'd found out about the birth control pills. Even thou we were back on track and planting to have kids soon as possible. I was still struggling with that betrayal. What upset me most was her taking the choice away from me when I might actually have agreed with her decision. It should have been our decision and not hers alone.

"Honey, Tsubaki and Kagura want to know if we can stop by Jin for a drink before we head home."

I gawked at Kikyou disbelief. The three of them were standing there on the grass near the parking area waiting for my reply.

I took Kikyou's left hand into my right. "Baby, I thought we were going to spend tonight alone. We hung out with your friends. Now it's our time."

"Just one drink." She pouted. "I'm not ready to go home yet."

Tsubaki suppressed a laugh and I rolled my eyes at her.

"It's Labor Day weekend," Kikyou added. "Let's hang out and have some fun."

"Why can't your friends have fun on their own? Or with their men?" I paused, then went for the kill. "Oh, that's right. They don't have any men, except the ones who drop by to fuck them and then bounce."

"You know what?" Tsubaki said, stepping closer to me with much attitude.

"I know your breath reeks," I answered. "Other than that, I don't know anything about you, nor do I care to know."

"Fuck you Inuyasha," Tsubaki hissed.

"No, you can't fuck me that's the problem. You wish."

Kagura jumped in then. "Can you two stop acting all childish? This shit ain't that damn serious." She turned to Kikyou, who had let go of my hand and now had her arms crossed defiantly across her chest.

"Kikyou, let's head back to your place and then Tsubaki and I can come back down to Jin."

"It makes zero sense to go all the way out to Wheaton and then have to come back down Fourteenth and U when we're right off Sixteenth. Inuyasha is being difficult." Kikyou said.

"I'm being difficult?" I shook my head. "You asked me to come out here with them and I agreed. I even offered to drive so we wouldn't have to bring two cars. Now, because I was nice, you want me to continue to cater to them. Damn, no good deed goes unpunished."

Kikyou started trying to gratify her friends' emotions instead of mine by telling them I would change my mind by the time we got in the car. That she would talk to me about it. She was whispering like I couldn't hear every word; like I wasn't even standing there. It was totally disrespectful, and I wasn't about to change my mind either. We were headed out to Wheaton, which was less than fifteen minutes away, and not two or three hours like she'd tried to make it sound.

I spotted her again. The woman in red. The one from the gym. She and her friend were headed straight in our direction. Our eyes met, and then she looked away. She must have remembered me. It wasn't like we had ever spoken. They were less than ten yards away from us when she glanced back at me and smiled. Beautiful smile. Beautiful eyes. It wasn't a flirtatious smile; merely a "How are you doing today?" smile. I smiled back, still wondering why I was so drawn to her.

"Tsubaki and Kagura are going to the bathroom," Kikyou said, as they walked off toward the outside restroom facilities. "While they're gone, we need to hash this out."

"There's nothing to hash out." I watch the woman in red as she said something to her friend. Then her friend in the sundress walked off toward the bathroom as well, and the woman in red came even closer to us. She was probably planning to stand in the same general area to wait for her friend to come back. She was less than five feet away from us when someone screamed.

It all happened so quickly. The screams . . . the headlights . . . the expression of terror on the woman's dressed in red face. . . the strong desire to save her . . . the impact . . . the pain . . . darkness.
