Chapter 21: The Girls Drinking Party

The unknown girl who was trying to sneak away with a mysterious looking bottle was none other than Kagome herself. She claims the only reason why she was doing this is so that Sango can try something new, but we all know better don't we? Kagome had grabbed a giant tequila bottle with two shot glasses and a couple of limes.

The major trick here was for her to get up the stairs without waking up the boys, especially the one with the adorable puppy dog ears. Kagome tiptoed up the stair case as quietly as possible while the shot glasses were clinking together. She stopped and looked over to the living room to make sure the boys were still sleeping. "Whew…." she sighed with a bit of relief while whispering to herself "I need to be more careful…." She continued her climb and was almost to the top when she heard a sudden snore come from the living room. All she could do at that moment was run back into her bedroom and close the door behind her.

Back down to the living room, Inuyasha overheard a door close and opened one of his amber eyes. "Huh?" he replied with a sleepy voice "Did I just hear a door close?" Inuyasha rolled over on his side, still a little tired from his party that he had with Miroku a couple of hours ago. He slowly sat up while sitting on the floor and rubbed both of his eyes. "Itai…!" He cringed placing a hand on his forehead "Oh man….my head hurts. I guess it's been a while since I had that much sake." he replied painfully. He looked around the living area with his ears twitching to see if he could hear anything else that he might of missed. He replied lightly "I swore I heard a door…..uh what's that?" He stuck his nose in the air and took a deep breath "Kagome's scent…?" as a sheepish grin overcame his face. "Now what were you doing down here little girl? I guess I'm going to have to see what you are up to……."

Kagome closed the bedroom door behind her and replied "Whew!…..I didn't think I was gonna make it…."

Sango looked across the room while sitting on Kagome's bed and asked "Did you wake up the boys Kagome-chan?

Kagome giggled and answered "No, I don't think so. All I could hear was their snoring."

Sango laughed and commented "Geez, those lushes! They probably had too much to drink." She placed a finger to her cheek and asked "I wonder who won the sake contest anyway?"

"Well, in any case…." Kagome said while holding up the bottle of tequila "I brought this for you so that you could try it."

Sango had a look of interest and asked "Oh, what's that?"

"Something my mother ordered from Mexico….if I remember right it's called Jose Cuervo." Kagome answered while trying to read the label.

Sango looked at Kagome confused and asked "Mex-i-co? Where is that?"

Kagome sat on the bed next to Sango and reminded her "Do you remember when I told you about America and where it was located at?"

"I believe you said that it was across the ocean." Sango answered back.

"Exactly!" Kagome said while taking out the limes "Mexico is to the South of America….." Kagome continued while placing the limes on her night stand and cut them into halves. She cut the halves into fourths and handed one to Sango. Kagome picked up the bottle of alcohol and poured both of the shot glasses to the top. She picked up one of the glasses and said "Okay, watch me…."

Sango nodded with curiosity and witnessed as Kagome brought the glass to her mouth, taking the tequila in one gulp. She quickly raised the lime that was in her other hand and sucked the juice out so that she could reverse the effects of the tequila. "Whew!" Kagome exclaimed "I forgot how strong that stuff can be." while smacking her lips together.

Sango asked "Is it really that strong Kagome-chan?" wondering if she should even try the stuff.

"You won't know unless you try one yourself Sango-chan." Kagome answered back while handing her a shot glass.

Sango took a deep breath to raise her courage and replied "Bottoms up…." She raised the glass and tipped the tequila down into her throat.

"Hurry Sango-chan! Use the lime next!" Kagome reminded Sango.

Sango's eyes started to water as she placed the lime in her mouth and sucked some of the juice out. "Wow! That stuff burns your throat as it goes down!" she commented while sticking her tongue out.

"Yeah, I know…" Kagome giggled "Isn't it great?

Sango nodded and answered "Heck yeah! Give some more of that stuff." while laughing back at Kagome.

Kagome poured more tequila into Sango's glass and said "Ya know, it's been a while since we had a chance to talk privately."

Sango nodded and replied "Yeah…I know. We have been too busy fighting all the time. It's nice to have a break from all that has been happening" She swallowed the tequila in her hand while the lime followed after. Sango sighed from her last drink and asked "That reminds me, you never got a chance to tell me who you found back in the Sengoku Jidai Era. Please…..tell me if it was Kohaku?" Sango said with a look of desperation.

Kagome placed a frown on her face and shook her head "I'm sorry Sango-chan….but it wasn't." She placed a hand gently on her shoulder trying to comfort poor Sango.

"Oh it's okay Kagome-chan…." Sango said while putting on a small smile. "Who did you find?" trying to change the subject..

"Oh we found Kaede!" Kagome said while she poured more tequila in her glass.

Sango looked at Kagome and asked "Really? But how did she survive?"

"Well…." Kagome started to explain "She placed a barrier around the village so that all the villagers will be safe for the time being."

Sango thought for a moment and asked "Wait a minute……Kaede can't hold that barrier up all by herself? Can she? Is there someone else helping her?"

Kagome nodded and replied "Yeah, someone is helping, but you might not like the answer."

Sango's eyes opened wide and asked "No….you're telling me that…."

"Yep!" Kagome interrupted before Sango could finish her sentence "Kikyo is there…..but……that's okay." as she put on a smile and took a shot with her tequila.

"You're okay with that Kagome-chan?" Sango looked down at the floor and was thinking that Kagome had lost it when she smiled at the thought of Kikyo being around the village. She looked back at the miko confused and asked "Kagome-chan…is there something you are not telling me?"

Kagome giggled and grabbed Sango''s shoulder with her loose hand "Oh Sango-chan you will never guess what happened!" Kagome laughed with excitement as Sango looked at her with bewilderment.

"Kagome-chan! Tell me before I explode!" Sango said with curiosity in her eyes.

"Inuyasha told Kikyo in her face that he loves me and only me!" Kagome said with a giant smile.

"N..N…NANI? Are you serious?" Sango yelled out with excitement. "Oh Kami! Did he tell you this?" asking while trying to calm Kagome down.

Kagome nodded in response "mmm….hmmm….he told me that he loved me"

"So…has he kissed you yet?" Sango asked with a deviant look.

Kagome blushed and said "Oh yeah….." as she raised a hand to cuff her red face "that hanyou is a great kisser! Nani? don't tell me you forgot Sango-chan? We kissed in front of you, Mirkou and Shippo-chan!"

Sango replied "Opps gomen....I guess the tequila let me forget for a sec.Well anyway...." Sango continued as she hiccuped. "I have heard that youkai and half demons make great lovers…."

Kagome stiffened at Sango's comment and said "Sango-chan! Where did you get this from?"

"Nani? The people at my village told us about youkai and hanyous being great lovers. We had to learn all sorts of things when I was training to be a taijiya and that was one of our lessons." she continued while she held her glass out to get more tequila. Kagome poured the spirit in her glass while Sango asked with a sheepish grin "So do you wanna know why they make great lovers?"

Kagome was hesitant, should she even dare to accept what Sango was going to tell her? Kagome nodded anyway and said "Okay, sure why not?"

Sango replied "A hanyous and youkais body is perfectly shaped in everyway possible, especially the ones that are born beautiful. Have you looked at Inuyasha's body up close Kagome-chan?"

Kagome thought for a moment and said "I really didn't get a good look, well I have seen him naked before but I didn't really look at his features up close."

Sango smiled as she took her shot of tequila and brought the lime after that "Well, They make great lovers because their manhood is much bigger than a humans. I also heard they have better stamina and can last longer while mating with their partners….."

Kagome's eyes flew open at what Sango just told her. "Um Sango-chan…." Still sitting on the bed, she threw the opening of the bottle of tequila in her mouth and guzzled as much as she could.

Sango laughed at Kagome and pulled the bottle out of her mouth. "Come on Kagome-chan…..is what I told you scaring you?"

Kagome shook her head and replied "Yeah I know he has an incredible sculpted chest and toned muscles on his back, but….. Oh Kami! I will never look at him the same way again. I don't know if I am ready to…."

Sango placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder and calmly told her "There is no need to worry, if it's true that Inuyasha is more gentle than he was when you first met him, there should be no worries. I have noticed that he has been watching you more attentively lately." Sango continued "I think he would know his limits when the time has come for you two to share yourselves intimately." Sango said with a smile "Also, the best thing about making love to a youkai or a hanyou is that they mate for life. Once they have chosen a mate they never leave them, they are very faithful companions."

Kagome sighed and replied "Arigato Sango-chan, that was actually pretty interesting . I never imagined being someone's mate for life!"

"Hey now! Don't be talking dirty!" Sango replied while shaking her finger at Kagome.

"Sango-chan! You started this conversation!" Kagome laughed while a thought popped in her mind and blurted out "Oh Sango-chan…." Kagome continued while giving Sango a devious grin "What about you and Miroku?"

Sango blushed and said "NANI? What do you mean?" trying to act innocent.

"Come on Sango-chan…..I have noticed that Miroku hasn't groped you ever since everyone arrived in this era." Kagome commented.

"S..S…So that doesn't mean anything." Sango replied.

"What's the matter Sango-chan? Don't you want to admit something?" Kagome still nagging on "Admit that maybe Miroku has strong feelings for you and you the same for him?"

Sango grabbed the bottle of tequila and started to consume a good portion of it. She pulled the bottle from her mouth and replied "Okay fine. I….I….care deeply for Houshi-sama…"

"How much do you care for him?" Kagome asked.

Sango gritted her teeth and confessed "I love him! There I said it…. Happy?"

Kagome smiled and said "Yeah….and you?"

Sango smiled back and replied "Uh…huh, me too."

The two girls were ecstatic. They haven't been so happy ever since they could remember, they were just glad to be able to spend time together and share their feelings privately about the boys that were sleeping down stairs. Kagome and Sango were feeling the effects of the alcohol while they were uncontrollably laughing at each other, they almost have consumed the whole bottle. They were also unaware that someone was sitting outside the bedroom door, wanting to know what was going on inside the bedroom full of giddy girls.

Inuyasha sat on the floor next to the bedroom door twiddling his clawed thumbs. He contemplated to himself 'Should I be a good boy and mind my own business or take a peek and see what they are up to….' His curiosity got the best of him as he attempted to kneel on his knees and look inside the keyhole, but instead stopping himself before going any farther. Inuyasha could hear the laughter of the two girls, it was driving him insane. He sat back down on the floor, pinning his ears back and blinking his eyes 'Damn! I can't hold out! I need to know what is going on in there…..'

Before Inuyasha had another chance to see what was going on, Miroku snuck up beside him and pushed one of his feet to Inuyasha's head. "Hello….and what do we have here?" replied the monk.

Inuyasha jumped up to the houshi and covered his mouth "Shh! Be quiet! I don't want the girls to catch wind that I am here…."

"Oh I see…" Miroku whispered. "So…..what's going on anyway?"

"Keh! Hell if I know. I was trying to find out but someone decided to walk up to me and interrupt." the hanyou said with distaste in his voice.

Miroku leaned down to the keyhole and said "Allow me to do the honors…."

"Whatever…" Inuyasha said while crossing his arms.

Miroku looked in the keyhole of the bedroom door and saw Kagome and Sango with their evening attire. They both had on spaghetti strap night shirts and bikini panties to match. He witnessed as Kagome poured some sort of liquid in a glass for Sango as she took the glass to her mouth and gulped it down. The only thing that was on Miroku's mind, at that moment, was on what they were wearing.

The houshi swallowed hard and said "Beautiful……"

Inuyasha looked down at Miroku confused while asking "Huh? What's going on?"

"Oh my friend, the girls are having their own party. I just wish we were invited….." Miroku answered with saliva coming down the side of his mouth.

Inuyasha pushed Miroku to the ground and knelt down on the floor so that he could take a peek. He looked in the keyhole "Nani? Are they drinking?" as he questioned the houshi.

"Forget the alcohol….look at what they are wearing!" Miroku answered back while wiping the drool from his mouth. "Oh! Those poor beautiful women and not one man to go in there and……"

"Miroku you're such a hentai! Besides, that would mean taking advantage of the girls…You're such a pig." Inuyasha said while looking up at Miroku.

"Not really….." Miroku replied back with a smile "We were drinking too."

"Feh!" the hanyou remarked "I have more self respect than that." A thought crossed his mind as he contemplated if he should ask Miroku. "uh…..Miroku?" Inuyasha started to ask.

"Hai my friend?" Miroku answered while looking down to Inuyasha.

"Do you remember when Kagome turns eighteen?" Inuyasha asked with a little hesitation.

Miroku smiled and said "She will be turning eighteen this Spring, I remember Higurashi-sama telling me this the other day. Isn't that the same day the both of you first met was on her birthday ?" Miroku asked with a whisper.

Inuyasha nodded in response and replied "Yep, it was….." a smile covered his face as he thought of Kagome back then. She was so young, so beautiful, so innocent. Now she was maturing into a woman, a woman that he wanted for himself and wanted to claim as his mate. Inuyasha thought to himself 'This coming Spring will be the right time, but the only problem I have is controlling myself until then…..'

Miroku looked at Inuyasha confused and waved his hands in the hanyou's face "Uh….Inuyasha? Hello…..Is someone there?" trying his best to get Inuyasha's attention.

Inuyasha popped out of his daydream as he overheard something with his sensitive ears. Some ones footsteps was approaching quickly toward the door as he attempted to speak. "Miroku we gotta go!"

Miroku looked at Inuyasha confused and all that came out of his mouth was "Huh?" Inuyasha picked himself up and grabbed Miroku by his undershirt, running as fast as he could back down to the living room. Apparently one of the girls heard something outside bedroom door and wanted to know what all the noise was all about.

Inuyasha threw Miroku back on the couch and whispered "Lay down and pretend that you were sleeping. I think the girls overheard us talking….."

Miroku's eyes popped out of his head and laid down on the couch, covering himself up from head to toe with his comforter. "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap….." Miroku said underneath his blanket.

Inuyasha dropped himself next to the couch, leaning against the side while covering himself up with Kagome's comforter. When he got comfortable enough, he calmed down a bit while he thought to himself 'Man, Miroku was right. What the girls were wearing was pretty cute….' he smirked as he took one of his hands and scratched his head. 'Oh Kagome….' Inuyasha sighed as he continued his thoughts 'I hate to admit it but I was almost tempted to join you in there…..that damn monk is a bad influence on me!'

The real reason Inuyasha heard footsteps was because one of the girls was running toward the bathroom to upchuck what she had just swallowed. It seems our Miko and taijiya could not handle their alcohol like they thought they could, so instead they took turns using the bathroom. Poor Sango and Kagome…….
