Ch. 11 Partying is Such Sweet Sorrow

Inuyasha quietly opened the door to the dorm/apartment and peeked in carefully. The living room/den was dark and quiet, no signs of life whatsoever. He then listened around like a guard dog on duty for any sounds, just because nothing seemed to be around doesn't mean that there isn't anything there. He focused all his hearing onto one room and breathed out a sigh or relief when he heard calm and steady breathing in a continuous rhythm.

"The coast is clear, he's sleeping." He whispered to Miroku behind him.

"Good because it would be hard to explain this to him." He whispered back gesturing to the very drunk girl who was sleeping now that he and Inuyasha were struggling to navigate her in the room.

Inuyasha turned back to him and said, "There won't be any chance to explain if he sees her like this."

"Half-breed and friend, I would like to have a word with you now. Oh, and bring Kagome with you." Sesshomaru's voice boomed from inside his room. He didn't sound angry, in fact, he sounded extremely calm and polite but both people who were called knew him all too well.

'Oh shit!' Inuyasha and Miroku thought at the same time. They swallowed their pride and slowly walked to Sesshomaru's door wit Kagome in their arms. The air outside the door felt heavy and thick, if he wasn't furious earlier, he sure was now.

-------

It all started earlier when Kagome was having a little date with Naraku. No, they aren't exclusive but it was getting to the point that it was looking like they were. She had invited him to the room earlier in the day to help her do some homework so that they could go out later with nothing to worry about. This got on a particular roommate's nerves.

Sesshomaru stayed quiet about the whole ordeal but she could easily see his uneasiness, he growled every time Naraku's name was mentioned but she didn't see his eyes flash red every time he was around. Naraku could sense the rage that his rival refused to express, it rolled off him in waves. Kagome couldn't tell since she was only human so he was thinking that he would help her out a bit.

Before Kagome left to go out with Naraku for the evening, she went back in her room to look for her cell phone and that's when Naraku decided to expose Sesshomaru's true nature and make Kagome wearier of the dog.

"Hi Dog." Naraku said to him as if it was an everyday thing. Sesshomaru had come into the kitchen to check up on Kagome every once in a while and to send Naraku heated glares.

He looked up from the fridge with a cool look and responded with, "I'm sorry but I don't speak pathetic excuse for a half-breed, I'm sure Inuyasha could assist you."

Naraku gave a mock laugh and said, "No I guess the all mighty son of a cheapskate wouldn't."

"My father isn't a cheapskate. Your father, on the other hand, fits in that department."

"I thought you don't speak pathetic excuse for a half-breed, maybe you're not as high and mighty as you and everyone say you are."

Way to turn the words around right? People have been doing that a lot to him lately.

Sesshomaru growled, no longer wanting anything to do with the conversation and decided on the task that he was going to do of ignoring his hated rival. He would have done great if Naraku didn't continue taunting him.

"She says that we're not together but I know better, I practically hold her heart in the palm of my hands. I'm so grateful that you didn't decide to go after this one, or maybe you're losing your touch."

"Hn." He said rudely, trying his best to ignore the asshole. He was starting to wonder what was taking Kagome so long to find her phone. He was ready for her to take him out of the room before he did the task himself.

Sesshomaru was acting as if he wasn't listening but Naraku continued talking knowing he would, "I wouldn't want your leftovers anyway, the smell of dog isn't something that I enjoy. Then again, maybe she was too good for you."

Sesshomaru stiffened, his eyes narrowed just a bit and his hands balled up into a tight fist. He started to count to ten as he chose now as the time to return to his room. He was down to two when he heard:

"I hope you're not expecting your roommate back anytime soon, I plan on keeping her all night."

In speed that was ungodly, Naraku's back slammed into the wall causing it to crack behind him with a clawed hand gripping at his throat and ceasing all airflow.

Kagome had been searching all over her room for her phone. She was losing it a lot lately most of the time was because Sesshomaru stole it from her to see if she had any personal text or voice mail from a certain admirer and then he would erase them before she had a chance to see them. As many times as she changed her password, he always found out how to. He would then tell her that he bought her the phone so it's just as much of his property as it was hers then he would place it in a different place from where she put it. She finally found the pesky little device in between her mattress and she would have rolled her eyes at his hiding place if she didn't hear a 'bang' sound.

She could only imagine what was going on and she wanted to tear her hair out when she saw Sesshomaru with blood red eyes, snarling at Naraku with a single hand around his throat. She saw Naraku looking at her as if asking for help as his face started to turn blue. Also by this time, Inuyasha came out of his room to see what was going on and went over to help Kagome break the two up. He didn't like Naraku either for the same reason as Sesshomaru but it wouldn't look good on anybody in the room if he did away with him there.

After prying Sesshomaru's hands from Naraku's throat and Inuyasha held his brother back, she sent Naraku home after apologizing about how sorry she was for his actions. When the door closed, she unleashed her viciousness on him. They argued and argued and…argued.

Finally, she had enough and closed herself off into her room. She wanted to get out of the room and away from him.

"Kagome, get back here." He tried to go back so that he could reason with her but Ayame stopped him. She only caught the last portion of their argument, since she just returned from her job. Inuyasha, who was sitting on the couch, watched it ignored by the two after his part was done.

"Two hours and twenty-eight minutes, great job. If you keep it up you'll be able to out due mom and dad. Rin told me that after we left home, they argued for about five hours." He said as he looked at his watch.

Sesshomaru gave him a cold and deadly glare while growling.

"Sesshomaru calm down, what happened." Ayame said wanting to know the reason for his anger.

"Naraku!" He growled, "I bet the asshole set me up just to make me look bad in front of her!"

"He and Kagome got into an argument just because he almost put Naraku out of his misery." Inuyasha budded in.

"Oh my, what did he do?"

Sesshomaru turned away not wanting to say, it would expose the reason for his anger which he really wasn't to sure of why he was. He just acted on impulse, he had no idea why he attacked him. No, he doesn't like Naraku and he would gladly get rid of him by any means but he wasn't insulted by him or whatsoever. All he did was talk about Kagome, but he couldn't tell her that.

Too bad that Inuyasha can.

"All Naraku did was talk about Kagome and he snapped like the true rabid dog he is."

Sesshomaru's anger was now directed to his Inuyasha. "I thought you were a mutt and not a rat."

"I thought you were perfect and not an asshole, oh wait, you're always one of those."

Sesshomaru's patience was completely gone now but Ayame kept a hold of him before he mauled his half-brother. "Inuyasha, stop taunting Sesshomaru."

"Fine, I got better things to do anyway. There's a huge frat party going on and it's calling my name. Me and Miroku are going to it." He said as he stood up and went to his room.

Once he was gone, Sesshomaru pulled away from Ayame roughly and went to his room. Lifting weights in his room seemed like a very great idea all of a sudden.

Inuyasha was putting on a brand new striped red and black Polo shirt and some baggy black jeans and black timberland boots. He was all ready for the party for the night when there was a knock on his door. He went over to it and found Kagome on the other side.

"Kagome, what do you want?" He asked with a sincere tone.

Kagome looked away from him and said, "I heard that you were going to a party tonight. I just want to get out the room and clear my mind and to get away from your jackass brother, can I go with you?"

After what she been through, he wouldn't mind her tagging along to get away from Sesshomaru. Besides, it would be fun to have a girl go with them to the party. "Sure but hurry and get ready, Miroku will be here any minute now."

She smiled at him giving her thanks and left back to her room so that she could get dressed. As soon as she was in her room, Miroku was at the door knocking away. Ayame let him in where he tried to cop a feel but she growled at him, which was enough to make him cringe and retreat his hand. He never dared to risk himself with a demoness unless they were willing for him to do it.

"Hey Roku." Inuyasha said as he saw his him enter the room.

"Inuyasha, looking sharp as always. So are you ready, the party waits for no one."

"Yea yea, I'm ready but we're having a little extra company joining us tonight."

"Oh and who is it, I hope it's a lovely lady."

Inuyasha just turned over his shoulder and yelled, "Kagome, are you ready yet?"

"Almost, I just got to fix my hair."

Miroku's eyes showed a bit of mischievousness in them when he mentioned her name. "Oh then, tonight should be very promising then."

Sesshomaru heard the commotion and didn't like where this was going. Kagome was going to a party with those two idiots…not good. He stepped out his room to go protest to Kagome when he ran into her in the hall.

His eyes widened and his mouth started to water. He felt a heat in his chest like he never felt before at the sight of her. She wore a tight short-sleeved shirt where the top of the shirt started just under her shoulders with black embroidered flowers at the top corner and a skintight but comfortable looking black mini skirt that showed off her long legs that ended with black stiletto boots on her feet. Her hair was up in a sloppy but cute bun exposing her long neck. It's been a while since he saw her nude but the clothes that she was wearing was giving him a nice reminder.

"Did you hear me Sesshomaru?" Kagome said with a livid look. Sesshomaru then came back to earth. "I said, stop staring at me and let me pass."

"You are not going anywhere." He said still blocking her way.

"And who gave you the right to tell me that and why would you care where I'm going? Get the hell out of my way." She growled as she kneed him. Miroku and Inuyasha winced as they saw it, they knew it was coming. She was fed up with him and she had that 'Out-of-my-way-or-die' look. She past him as he doubled over and his eyes tinted red from embarrassment, anger, and frustration.

He turned around once he felt that he could stand up strait again so that he could force her to stay but she was already out of the door.

"I'll go with her to the car." Miroku said as he was stepping out the door.

"Alright then but don't try anything."

"Don't worry, after that little display of anger, I wouldn't touch her even if my life depended on it."

When he was gone, Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru and said, "I hope you know that you were asking for it. You may be a big bad demon but you need to learn that you can't always have your way. I'm glad that someone else on this whole damn earth other than me knows that."

Sesshomaru turned away feeling defeated but refusing to show it. "Besides, she's not one of your whores or anything of yours, so stop bitching around."

Inuyasha stepped out of the door to leave but stopped when he heard, "Inuyasha, you know that I never approved of the activities that you run off to at night for obvious reasons. If anything happens tonight, you will regret that you left at all. You might as well never come back, I am beyond pissed as it already is and I don't need another thing to set me off."

Inuyasha knew what he meant, he hoped that everything would turn out okay. He never feared his brother or backed down from him but the way that he was acting, especially with Kagome involved, told him to value his life. He couldn't understand why he was being so fussy about her all of a sudden but he wasn't going to risk anything tonight. Sesshomaru has so many opportunities to dispose of him, he might actually do it if something happened to her. Inuyasha just nodded to him and left on his way.

Sesshomaru growled low as he thought over the words that his brother told him. It seems he's not such an idiot after all although his choice of words proved that he was. He was right as much as he hated to admit it and he really didn't want to admit it.

"You're just like her." Ayame said. She had been watching the confrontation between the brothers just in case something happened.

"I'm just like who?"

"Kagome, you're just like her, stubborn and hard headed. You're just as jealous of Naraku as she is when you're with your fan girls. At least she admitted that she was."

"Kagome…was jealous?"

"Yup, she likes you Sess, she's in denial now but I know she likes you. I believe that the only reason that she doesn't want to admit it is because she's afraid of another failed relationship, she hasn't had the best luck with guys but you've been the only guy that survived her malicious ways."

Sesshomaru sneered at her but just turned away and sat on the couch and tried to distract his mind by watching TV. 'She likes me alright, she likes to see me go insane.'

The trio in the silver 2006 Dodge Charger was enjoying the car ride while listening to some of their favorite songs to get them pumped up about the party. Miroku at the wheel since it was his car, Kagome was at shotgun, and Inuyasha was once again sitting in the back seat but he didn't mind at all. Kagome needed a gentleman and since Miroku was far from that being the perv he is, he would be happy to oblige.

They finally made it to the club where the party was being held at and after paying their way, they proceeded to go on with their plan of letting lose and having fun. Miroku and Inuyasha showed Kagome many of their friends who practically flirted with her but she let it slide. Those guys who did so were still losers who would have a snowball chance in hell with her but it was fun to make them think that they did.

A fast pace song came on and Kagome couldn't stop herself from dancing to it. If she weren't going into art, she would defiantly go into choreography. Inuyasha and Miroku took turns dancing with her. Across from where they were a pair of red eyes was watching them.

Naraku had come to this party as a favor from one of his friends and he decided to go since he was greatly upset on how things turned out before he had to leave Kagome. He was greatly surprised to see her there though. He really did plan to keep Kagome for the night knowing that it would piss Sesshomaru to no end…well that and because he needed a good screw. It's been a while and every female that he came across always swooned for the ungrateful dog. He was a little content that he got her to hate him even more than what she told him so it would be only a matter of time before he had his way with her.

Kagome was sitting at one of the many chairs scattered at tables at the club. Both Miroku and Inuyasha left her there so that they could flirt. She didn't mind, they did what she wanted to do which was dance so the least that she could do for them is to let them have some boy time to do boy things. Just as long as they don't leave her behind and dance with her some more before they called it a night.

She sat on the chair tapping her foot and her upper half swaying to the rhythm of the song while she was humming. She was also thirsty, she had danced her little heart out with nothing to drink but now her body was forcing her to look for something to drink.

"Kagome? Hey I thought that I would never see you at something like this." She heard and looked to see where the voice came from.

"Naraku what a surprise, oh and I'm just here to uh…just have fun." Kagome said not really wanting to tell him about the intense argument that she had with Sesshomaru.

"Same here, I mean since our date was ruined, a friend of mine asked me to come so here I am."

They sat with out saying a word for a bit and then Naraku said in a hopeful tone, "Are you hungry, thirsty, anything?"

Kagome smiled at him remembering her thirst and said, "Yea, I'm a little thirsty. I would like to have something to drink."

Naraku smiled, knowing what he was going to do and took her hand to go with him to the bar. He didn't want her friends to see what he was going to do knowing that Sesshomaru wanted them to watch over her. She at first didn't want to leave knowing that they would be worried if they found out that she was gone but she looked back at her roommate and his friend before she stood up and left the place that she was sitting at. She was only going to be gone for a few minutes, they won't even know that she ever left her place.

She moved threw the crowds as best as she could with Naraku leading until and found herself at the bar. He turned away from her and asked for two of the best drinks that they had and paid the bartender after he handed her a filled up cup. Before he handed her a cup, he took out a small envelope that had fine ground up white powder in it and poured a generous amount, which dissolved on contact. He was going to use this on her on their date but this would work out fine if not better. He gave her the cup and she looked at it wondering what it was before taking a small sip and realized that it was alcohol. She never drank any alcohol in her life but she found that she liked the taste of it. There was something about it that she liked.

It had been just about half an hour since Inuyasha and Miroku started flirting, and Inuyasha was thinking about getting back to Kagome. He turned to Miroku who just got his 26th slap to the face for the night. She shook his head in pity for him wondering if he has cheeks of steel. It was either that of his cheeks were completely numb from the years of abuse. He might as well have a red handprint tattooed on his face since he always had one.

He hooked two fingers at the back of Miroku's shirt collar and dragged him away from a girl who was about to add another red handprint to the side of his head.

"Come on Roku, let's get back to Kagome, we've left her alone long enough." Inuyasha said as he continued to pull Miroku.

"Aw but I almost had that one. Kagome's a grown woman, she doesn't need us to baby sit her." Miroku said trying to resist but still let him pull him away.

"Miroku, you don't live with a bastard, I do. Before I left the room, I saw the promise of death that in his eyes. Don't think that you're off the hook, after he done with me, he'll come for you."

"Fine then, you win but where is she?"

Inuyasha then looked to where they sat her only to see that she wasn't there. They didn't stray too far from her. Inuyasha tried to sniff her out but there were just too many scents to sift threw. Finally, he caught a little whiff of her along with the strong hint of alcohol. He was hoping that she was just next to some drunk guy or something that he saw leaving with another guy, but he already knew that wasn't going to happen. As he got closer, he saw that the drunken guy was indeed Kagome and the other guy was Naraku so he knew automatically he had something to do with this.

"Naraku, what did you do to her?" Miroku said out loud as he neared them.

Naraku smirked innocently but the tone he used told them that he was fully guilty of her state. "I've done nothing, I just found her here drunk at the counter. I decided to take her to my room to sleep off the alcohol."

Inuyasha then pulled him by his shirt collar, which caused him to let Kagome go, and she almost fell flat on the floor if it wasn't for Miroku who caught her.

"Hee hee hee, hi pwetty kitty cat." She slurred while looking up at Inuyasha, smiling and reaching out to stroke his ears. Even in her drunken state, she still had the nerve to call him a cat. He didn't even bother to argue with her because she wouldn't be able to understand while she was like this.

Both men gave the red-eyed man an evil glare to warn him to stay away and he knew that they would tell Sesshomaru. Naraku's smirk widened, let him find out then, Kagome will want nothing to do with the dog if she somehow wakes up in the morning next to him. He knows that Sesshomaru won't be able to contain his animalistic nature as long as Kagome still has those drugs in her system. He could barely contain himself as it stared taking effect when her scent shifted from being normal to fully aroused when around him.

It was going to be a long ride home and Miroku could only hope that she don't ruin his seats. Inuyasha was thinking about how dead that they are. Things didn't go as bad as what could have really happened but the thing is that nothing was to happen to her. He couldn't understand why Sesshomaru wanted to keep watch over Kagome but it would be useless to get the answer out of him.

Inuyasha quietly opened the door to the dorm/apartment and peeked in carefully. The living room/den was dark and quiet, no signs of life whatsoever. He then sniffed and listened around like a guard dog on duty for any thing out of place, just because nothing seemed to be around doesn't mean that there isn't anything there. He focused all his hearing onto one room and breathed out a sigh or relief when he heard calm and steady breathing in a continuous rhythm.

"The coast is clear, he's sleeping." He whispered to Miroku behind him.

"Good because it would be hard to explain this to him." He whispered back gesturing to the very drunk girl who was sleeping now that he and Inuyasha were struggling to navigate her in the room.

Sesshomaru had just fallen asleep, he was going to stay up and wait till they came back but then he shook off the thought, thinking of what would be the purpose of doing that would be. Once again, he was caught in another dream with Kagome but this time just when they were about to kiss, he smelled alcohol. He then heard his brother and friend's voices room. His eyes shot open sensing something very wrong.

Inuyasha turned back to him and said, "There won't be any chance to explain if he sees her like this."

"Half-breed and friend, I would like to have a word with you now. Oh, and bring Kagome with you." Sesshomaru's voice boomed from inside his room. He didn't sound angry, in fact, he sounded extremely calm and polite but both people who were called knew him all too well.

'Oh shit!' Inuyasha and Miroku thought at the same time. They swallowed their pride and slowly walked to Sesshomaru's door with Kagome in their arms. The air outside the door felt heavy and thick, if he wasn't furious earlier, he sure was now.

Both were thinking that they should drop Kagome here and run off but the door opened. His eyes were cold and his face expressionless as the first thing he looked at was Kagome. He bent down and scooped her sleeping form up and laid her on his bed gently. Miroku and Inuyasha took this opportunity to leave but Sesshomaru let out a warning growl daring them to run.

"Inuyasha, I told you not to come back here if anything happened. It's too late to run and Miroku you have been dragged into this as well. I am in no kind of mood to deal with ignorance so if you tell me a good enough excuse to what in the hell happened, I might decide to only break one of your limbs."

They told him the story that they saw found her drunk with Naraku. She had got out of their sights and into his, they didn't mean for it to happen but it did. Sesshomaru growled and cinched his fist so tight that he dug his claws into his own hands and started to draw blood.

"I will deal with the ignorant fool tomorrow then, I'm in desperate need of sleep at the moment."

With that, the two nervous wrecks left to the safety of their own living spaces, Inuyasha locking and pushing something up against his door just in case Sesshomaru decided to pay him a visit while he was sleeping and Miroku scrambled out the door.

Sesshomaru sighed, closing and locking his door, and turned to think about what he was going to do with her now only to see that she disappeared from his bed.

"Uh Kagome…" Sesshomaru said wondering what happened to her but then he felt two arms come around from behind. He stiffened a bit but realized that it was none other than Kagome.

"Sezmaru…" She slurred but in a surprisingly sexy way that sent shivers up his spine. "It's…hot in here, are you…hot?"

He broke out of her grasp and turned to her and his jaw dropped seeing her in nothing but her underwear, her shirt and skirt was mysteriously gone. She had a lustful look in her eyes and a sexy little smirk on her lips. The smell of her arousal hit him hard, he couldn't smell it over the alcohol at first but now it was all that filled his sensitive nose. She then came back to him and put her arms around his neck, grinding her body against his. Sesshomaru felt the need to put his arms around her waist but instead suppressed it and just groaned when he felt her pull him down for a kiss. His eyes fluttered closed as his body was loosing the battle to surrender to the vixen in front of him.

She some how pulled him down to his bed where he gained full control by taking over her mouth. Something wasn't right he could taste it. Sure she tasted like nothing but alcohol, which he thought strangely gave her more flavor, but there was something added to it. He pulled up from the kiss breaking it before she pulled him back down realizing what was wrong, she was drugged. He knew the taste of the ecstasy pills that a few of the females that he been with used.

He had to stop this before…before…too late, he was very much turned on, the tightening in his boxers was getting painful as she continued to kiss and grind her body against him. It became even worse as moaned his name even though she kept saying it wrong. Sesshomaru was a slave as he felt his instincts setting in.

-------

Kagome started to wake up, her head was pounding very badly and her body was aching. She had the wildest dream last night. She and Sesshomaru were having a hot make-out session before things started to get out of hand. She tried to sit up only to find out that she had something heavy and warm slightly on top of her, which turned out to be Sesshomaru. She looked at him and he looked back with blood shot eyes.

"Sess…wait what's going on?" She sat up and noticed that she had no shirt on or skirt. She covered herself, pulled the covers against her, and said, "Why am I in your room…sleeping in your bed with you…half naked?" She asked afraid that her dream was more than a dream because it really was more than just making-out.

Sesshomaru sat up with her and said with a serious look, "You finally decided to give into my charms and let me take you."

Her eyes went wide, she didn't remember anything other than drinking the alcohol that Naraku gave to her and she felt scared then angry. She heard Sesshomaru laugh on side of her and then turned to glare at him. "This is not funny Sesshomaru, I can't believe that you took advantage of me…then again, yes I could. I want you to stay away from me form now on you twisted dog!" She just felt like de-manning so that he'll never take advantage of her or any other girl again.

"No, I'm just kidding, you came home drunk thanks to your good for nothing guy friend and I took the liberty of taking care of you last night. As for your clothes, I didn't touch them, you took them off yourself and somehow lost them. I believe he did it just to get you in bed with him, he told me that he planned on keeping you all night."

Hey, it was finally his turn to get the bastard in trouble and it seemed to work. She scowled at the thought that Naraku got her drunk for a one-night stand.

If only she knew the whole story. Right when he was about to give in completely, she all of a sudden fell asleep. He was disorientated and extremely horny now but he was glad that it was over. He was about to get up so that he could take a cold shower and then go to her room to sleep for the night but she somehow wrapped her body against him and refused to let him go. He gave up, being too tired to try, and had to deal with her grinding, mewing, moaning, sent, and such the entire night. He didn't get an ounce of sleep at all that night.

"Well could you help me out here, I would really like to go take a shower now."

Sesshomaru slowly got out of bed and handed her one of his t-shirts, she quickly put it on and went to the door. She took one last look at Sesshomaru who plopped back down onto his bed and then left out. With her finally gone, he felt that he could finally get some sleep so he laid back down and closed his eyes, only to have new images of Kagome under him flash threw his mind. He then realized that he might never sleep normally or at all again.


A/N: Well I hope that you like my early update. I have some good news, no I didn't save a bunch of money on my car insurence because...well I don't have a car (sad hunh, I'm 18 and have no car). The good news is that I'm almost done with the next chappie and if I get some good reviews in, I'll update it either tonight or tomorrow. I really like how that chapter is turning out. Here's a sneek peek of what it is, the next chapter is called "Voices":

Alone. They were alone and he wasn't going to waste no time. Sesshomaru scooped Kagome in his arms, surprising her a bit but she wrapped her legs around his body as soon as they came into the dorm/apartment after classes. He was greedily kissing her and she was doing the same to him.

His hands ran all over her backside, butt, and thighs while hers were tangled in his hair. She loved how silky soft his hair was and always let him know by stroking it gently. She was the only one he allowed to do so.

Things were getting too heated and he found himself going to his room with her still in his arms. Once the door was closed, there would be no telling how long it would take for them to come out again. Like it mattered, he was going to enjoy every second before...

A/N (again): Well that's all you get for now. I know you hate me but you won't for long if I update early.
