They were about 4 hours into the party, and it showed no signs of stopping. The drinks seemed endless and the music boomed, Kagome could feel the vibrations in her chest, but it just made her dance more. With a drink in her hand, she made her way towards her friends. She smiled at them as they 'ooo'd and "ah'd" at her in her bikini. She gave a little spin, so that they could see all angles of her in her pastel yellow bikini, that had a single embroidered black rose on the part that covered her left breast. "Wow Kagome, you look really good!" Sango said, nodding her head in approval. Ron and Ayame smiled at her.

"Yeah! You look great Kagome!" Rim says over the music, jumping up and down in her spot. She was wearing a dark purple bikini, with a white floral design. It hugged all the right curves. Sango and Ayame wore matching blue and white bikinis.

"Hello ladies!" The girls turned in the direction of the voice and saw Miroku, standing with a red solo cup in his hand, he made his way toward Sango. "Pleasure seeing you again, Sango." He says, with a sheepish grin. Ayame, Rin and Kagome glare at him, before linking arms and walking away. "Oh it seems we've been left alone, what a shame." Miroku says sighing. He turns back to Sango and noticed the glare she was giving him.

"What do you want, lecher?" Sango says angrily. Miroku laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his head with his free hand.

"Now now, no need to be so brash, my dear Sango." Miroku says, as he wraps an arm around Sango's shoulders. Sango relaxes a little, glad that Miroku has found another part of her body to touch, that isn't her butt. "Would you like a drink?" He asks her, as he leads Sango toward the coolers where the alcohol was being chilled. Sango smiled at him, nodding her head in response.


"God damn it!" Inuyasha yelled, his fists balled up as he glares at the woman in front of him. "How many times do I have to tell you? I only love you!" He follows, smashing his fist into the nearby table. He had come into the pool house to give himself a break from the sensory overload outside m, but Kikyō has slipped in quietly behind him. They were in the living room, the walls were able to drown out most of the rap music being blasted outside.

"Until I fucking believe you, Inuyasha!" Kikyō yelled back. Inuyasha growled at her, turning his back on the argument but Kikyō moved forward and pulled on his shoulder. Quickly his hand reached out and grabbed her wrist. She gasped. "Let! Go!" She yelled, struggling to get out of his grasp. Inuyasha turned in his spot until he was facing her once more, and gave her a gentle push. "Do you really love me?" She questions, tears welling up in her eyes.

Inuyasha was starting to get quite tired of the constant arguments, unfaithfulness and lies in the relationship. He felt as if he was always being accused of something, or doing something wrong. Walking on eggshells was becoming the new 'normal' for him. "Next time you try to pull me you won't be so lucky." Inuyasha growls, although they both knew it was an empty threat. His eyes softened as he saw the tears welling up in her eyes. She always cried when they argued, he took it as a sign that perhaps she still cared, despite constantly going behind his back. "Yes," he said, his voice low and hushed as he approached Kikyō. "Yes, I love you. I love you a lot, Kikyō." He wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's petite frame, his cheek resting on her head. "But... you've lied to me Kikyō." Inuyasha said, his voice a whisper. Kikyō looked up at him. "You constantly go behind my back, you lie to me, you've cheated on me with god knows how many men." He pulls away from Kikyō. He captures her chin in his fingers and tilts her head, so that she's looking at him. "Just...what does everyone else have that I don't?" He asks, softly. He cups her cheeks in his hands and stares into her eyes. "Kikyo, tell me how I can be a better boyfriend so that we can go back to having fun at the party." Inuyasha says, as he looks out of the glass double doors toward the party. His eyes land on Kagome, who was playing cup pong on the lawn with Koga. He noticed the arm that Koga had around her waist and instantly was put in a sour mood. Kikyō follows Inuyasha's line of sight, when she noticed his hands stiffen on her face. She saw Kagome, in her bathing suit, laughing and playing cup pong with Koga. She saw her jump up and down in celebration, and jump into Koga's arms.

"So it is true." Kikyōsaid bitterly, she reached up and put both of her hands on Inuyasha's chest, pushing him away. He stumbled back, and stared at her. "You did sleep with Kagome, didn't you?" Inuyasha's face pales. "Your face says it all Inuyasha." Kikyōsaid, tears once again welling up in her eyes.

"Huh? No! We didn't sleep together." Inuyasha yelled, his hands balling up in fists. "We didn't! At all! I don't even like her like that!" He defended himself, and started walking closer to Kikyo. Kikyōput her hand up, and Inuyasha froze in his spot. "You know what Kikyo?" Inuyasha says, laughing. He puts his hands up and shakes his head. "I'm done with this shit."

"What?" Kikyōsaid in disbelief. "No, Inuyasha you can't just end it like this!" Kikyōsaid, she stumbled forward, to grap onto his wrist. "You can't just leave me like this-"

"Get your fucking hands off of me." Inuyasha snarled at her, tugging his hand out of her grasp. "Why can't I? All you fucking wanted was my money, getting to hang out with celebrities, the clothes and shoes I got you." Inuyasha scoffs, shaking his head. "You can keep all that shit. I have no use for it." He sighs, and looks out toward the party. "Yeah, Kagome did spend the night over here. We didn't fuck, we just talked. And you know what? So what! Why don't you tell me how many men you've had in your room, hm Kikyo?" He stared at her, with anger in her eyes. Kikyōgulped looking up at Inuyasha. She felt defeated, frozen on her knees in her spot. "You never loved me Kikyo." Inuyasha said, and pushed one of the doors open, the loud sound of the music surprised him for a moment, before he was tackled in a bear hug by Bankotsu and dragged toward the coolers.

"Inuyasha! Lighten up my man!" Bankotsu yells over the music, hitting Inuyasha in the chest. He laughs at him, and hits him back. Bankotsu pulled out a cold bottle of coconut rum. Inuyasha opens his mouth and Bankotsu pours it into his mouth. Around them a crowd had begun to gather and shout 'Chug! Chug! Chug!'. "Keep going!" Bankotsu shouts, and laughs as Inuyasha closed his mouth and quickly jerked his head to one side.

"Fuck!" Inuyasha shouts, coughing. He stumbles in one direction, and felt his ear brush against something soft. He looks up and notices his head dangerously close to Kagome. "Oh shit, my mad." Inuyasha mutters, laughing. Kagome arched an eyebrow at him. "What? I'm serious, I didn't see you."

"You're good, Inuyasha." Kagome said. Inuyasha grinned at her, and looked at her up and down. "What?" Kagome asked, "you like what you see?" She noticed Sango and Ayame staring at her from the corner of her eye. They were making kissy faces and fanning themselves, she rolled her eyes internally.

"Perhaps." Inuyasha breathes, and grabs her by the hand, pulling her in the middle of the circle. People began to clap and hoot at them. He reached into the cooler and pulled out a bottle of cognac. "Ready?" Inuyasha asked, as he opened the bottle. Kagome giggled at him and took the bottle from his hands. "Oh? Alright then." Inuyasha said, and crossed his arms. Kagome winked at him, and tilted her head back to pour the cognac into her mouth herself.

"That's my woman!" Koga called from within the crowd, pushing his way to the front. "No one's over my baby!" Koga said, and Inuyasha growled.

"Shut up you smelly ass wolf!" Inuyasha hollered looking around. Kagome tilted her head back down, and handed the bottle back to Inuyasha, swishing the remaining cognac in her mouth before swallowing it. "Well, now I know you can hold your alcohol." Inuyasha said, closing the bottle and throwing it back onto the bed of ice it was on. Kagome smiled at him and turned back toward her friends, but found them both to be occupied with men. Sango was too busy trying to fight off the lecherous monk, and Ayame was trying to get Koga's attention but Koga kept staring at Kagome. "So." Inuyasha said, bring Kagome's attention back to himself. "Like the party?" He asked, looking out at his backyard. The pool was full of people having fun and laughing, on the lawn people were lounging and drinking. He looked up toward the roof of the pool house and groaned when he saw who was on it. "Oh no..." He groaned, facepalming himself. Kagome looked confused.

"What?" She asks, looking around. "What's wrong? Are you- oh, oh dear." Kagome said, as she looked up toward the pool house roof. Shippo was standing on it, looking down toward the pool. He looked scared, but the people in the pool were encouraging him. "This can't be good." She groaned, wincing internally.

"Shippo!" Inuyasha called out, cupping his hands over his mouth. "Don't jump-" he feels a hand hit him in the stomach and he winced, glaring over at Kagome who looked to be enjoying what was about to happen all too much. "Alright then, but if he cracks his head open, you're taking responsibility." He warns, and crosses his arms to watch Shippo. Shippo backed up, and then ran forward, forming his body into a cannonball as he jumped off the roof into the water. "whoo!" Inuyasha hollered, and then he himself jumped into the pool. Kagome laughed as he jumped in, and looked around her, her eyebrows furrowed as she walked toward Sango and Ayame.

"Hey girls." Kagome says, laying a hand on each of their shoulders. The girls turn around and smile at their friend.

"Hey!" Ayame says, widening her eyes with curiosity. "What's up Kags?"

"Have you guys seen Rin and Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, raising her eyebrows at them and putting her lips together in an 'o' formation. Sango and Ayame gasp, as Koga and Miroku share knowing glances and decide to walk away from the girls. "I'm not gonna make any assumptions but..." Kagome said, shrugging her shoulders.

"No way!" Sango said, shaking her head. "Rin isn't that type of person! She's not going to have sex with him now! She gets embarrassed way to easily!" Sango said, laughing. Ayame grunts next to her. "Her and Sesshomaru do make an adorable couple though." Sango admitted, sighing.

"Nah, no way." Ayame said next to Sango, Kagome turned to look at her. "Sesshomaru is way too cold for her! He definitely would have zero consideration for her feelings." Kagome shrugged her shoulders.

"I mean, I guess you could be right."


Sesshomaru sighed, rolling over on his bed. Rin panted next to him; her hands covered her face. "Oh my god." She said softly, "I can't believe I just did that." She turned to look at him, and caught him staring at her. "Um...we should probably get back to the party." Rin said softly, attempting to get up. Sesshomaru stretched out his arm, rolling onto his side, he draped it over her bare chest.

"No." He said lowly, pulling his arm in, around her chest. "We can stay in my room for a few minutes." He said, breathlessly. Rin blushed next to him, but willingly snuggled up to his body. "Do you think this little war between us will end soon, Rin?" Rin looked over her shoulder at him, as his arm moved so that his hand laid on her shoulder, his claws scratching gently at her skin.

"What do you mean Sesshomaru?" Rin asked, clueless. He rolled his eyes at her. "What war? I'm confused." Rin said softly, as he twirled a strand of her hair in his hands.

"I mean this prank war." He said, Rin tilited her head. "You know how ever since we moved in Inuyasha and Kagome have been pulling pranks on each other."

"Ohh." Rin said, and shrugged her shoulders, facing away from Sesshomaru. "I don't know. Both Delta Psi and Alpha Rho Gamma seem to enjoy it." Rin said, "Besides, they both find it funny. I think the only way it will end is if one of them stops finding it so amusing." Rin said, matter-of-factly. Sesshomaru nodded.

"Hm, I supposed you have a point." He said closing his eyes. Rin looked over at him and giggled, pushing his shoulder slightly with hers. "Huh?"

"C'mon." She said, wriggling out of his grasp, Sesshomaru whimpered. "We've got to go back down before people notice we're missing." Rin says, as she pulls on her bikini. She turns her back on Sesshomaru, who tied the strings in the back together on her back as she tied the other ones around her neck. Sesshomaru got up from comfortable bed, and grabbed his swimming trunks, pulling them back on. Rin turned toward him. "Okay, I'm going to leave first, and then you follow like...ten minutes later."

"Ten minutes?" Sesshomaru growled, rolling his eyes. "We could just leave together Rin. Surely you aren't ashamed of having been in bed with me, are you?" Sesshomaru teased, lifting an eyebrow.

"No, of course not." Rin said, laughing nervously. But Sango, Ayame and Kagome won't let me hear the end of it if they find out! Rin thought. "It's just that everyone else make such big deals out of everything." She said, rolling her eyes. Sesshomaru nodded.

"Yes, I suppose so." He sighed, scratching his head. "Very well then, I'll see you in ten minutes." Sesshomaru said, giving Rin a kiss before pushing her out of the door.
