Silver Beast: Grumpy Pants
(Friday, May 22nd - 6:45 PM, Kwakiutl Reservation - 4 months, 4 days and 2 hours remaining)
Kagome was waiting at the top of the stairs when she heard the familiar putter of Inuyasha's motorcycle drive into the reservation's parking lot. She was confused when she noticed he wasn't dressed in his suit but ratty jeans and a dirty t-shirt. Had he decided to not dress up for the occasion? Even from the top of the stairs she could feel his negative energy. He was most definitely not in a good mood meaning his inner beast was unpredictable. Unsure how to respond to his bad attitude she smiled and waited patiently for him. He was halfway up the stairs when he finally looked up to see her.
"What the hell happened to your dress?" Inuyasha snapped, as he looked her up and down in confusion.
"Huh? Oh! Someone bought it by the time I went to get it." Kagome said as Inuyasha adjusted his backpack on his shoulder. "Is… is this one not ok?"
"It's fine." Inuyasha shrugged as he walked past her towards the grand hall. "I'm going to go change. Just wait here, I'll be back in a minute."
"Oh… alright?" Kagome answered uncertainly.
It took a little over twenty minutes for Inuyasha to come out of the mens' room. By then dinner had already finished and the tables were being put away to open up the dance floor. To Kagome's relief Inuyasha seemed to have calmed down a little and was dressed like a proper gentleman. He looked very handsome in his black suit and white dress shirt. He even had sleek black dress shoes to match. They were a little wrinkly from sitting in his bag but nothing drastic. The only things missing were the red tie he had wadded in his hand and the red rose she had in hers.
"You look nice." Kagome smiled softly. "Need help with your tie? I used to fix my dad's all the time."
"Whatever makes you happy, wench." Inuyasha huffed as he passed her the satin red necktie.
Determined to not let his bad attitude get to her, Kagome tossed his black locks to one side, flipped the collar on his white button up and went to work on his tie. She could feel his stare on her face while she worked but was not going to grant him with her attention. He was not going to be rewarded with a kiss for being an ass. Satisfied with his tie she laid his collar back down and went to secure the flower on his lapel. She almost had the needle through the flower's stem when it poked her finger.
"Ouch!" Kagome hissed as the blood trickled down her finger.
"Damn it Kagome! Can you not be a klutz for more than ten seconds?" Inuyasha grouched as he pulled her finger away from her mouth. "Don't! You'll get blood all over your dress."
"I'm sorry." Kagome sniffled as she tried not to cry.
"What are ya sorry for?" Inuyasha scoffed as he grabbed one of the fancy napkins off a nearby table and ripped off a strand with his teeth.
"For making you mad." Kagome choked out as it got harder and harder not to cry. "Whatever I did to make you angry at me I'm sorry."
"Shit… Kags don't cry." Inuyasha sighed as he tied off the handkerchief and pulled her into his arms. "I ain't mad at you. I'm just pissed at Sesshomaru for making me late."
"Really?" Kagome hiccuped as she enjoyed Inuyasha's hand running up and down her exposed back soothingly.
"Yeah, he had me running all over town today doing errands for him all while knowing I had prom tonight. By the time I was finished doing his chores and had a shower it was ten minutes before prom was supposed to start. When I was ready to go I found out he'd taken my car, not his or Kagura's car but mine! I was going to take his car but he had the keys and Kagura was out with Rin." Inuyasha growled. "I didn't want my prom clothes to get messed up on my bike so I had to change out of them and then get re-dressed in what I'd worn earlier. Then to make things worse I forgot your damn corsage I bought for you on the kitchen counter. I'd wanted tonight to be special and all I ended up doing was unloading my frustrations on yah. I'm really sorry Kagome."
"It's ok." Kagome sniffled as she leaned up to peck him on the lips. "I probably would have been mad too if that had happened to me."
"Me being an ass still doesn't make it right." Inuyasha sighed. "I promise I'll do better the rest of the night and if not you can yell at me later."
"Kay." Kagome giggled as she felt Inuyasha loosen his hold around her. "Want to go see if there is any food left?"
"Hell yes, I'm starved!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he took her uninjured hand in his and pulled her out of the lobby.
"There you guys are!" Sango shouted from their table. "We were wondering what happened."
"Don't ask. It's a long story." Inuyasha grouched as he sat down at the table with Kagome.
"Thanks for saving our food." Kagome said as she and Inuyasha began to eat.
"No problem!" Miroku smiled as he leaned back in his chair. "There were a couple other late arrivals so the kitchen staff didn't have a problem with it."
"Feh! I would have found a way for us to have food." Inuyasha said as he stuffed his face. "The kitchen ladies love me."
"I wonder why?" Kagome smirked as she watched him shove another large bite into his mouth. "I'm sure you'll eat anything they put in front of you."
"Not everything." Inuyasha blushed as he suddenly realized he was eating like a pig once again.
"Care to dance my love?" Miroku asked as he pushed back his chair and offered Sango his hand.
"As long as you can keep your end of the deal!" Sango said as she took his hand.
"What deal?" Kagome asked before she took a sip of her drink.
"If Miroku can last the entire night without touching my butt I'll let him kiss me on the lips." Sango said, causing Kagome to nearly choke on her drink.
"Hoho… I don't know… that's quite a tall order you got there Sango." Inuyasha smirked as he looked at Miroku's determined expression. "I don't think he can do it."
"You wound me Inuyasha." Miroku jest as he placed his hand over his heart. "I thought you would have more faith in me?"
"Not with the record you have." Inuyasha laughed. "I give it an hour and you'll fail."
"I give it half an hour." Kagome added.
"You all are so cruel." Miroku sighed.
"We should go get our pictures taken before we get all hot and sweaty from dancing." Kagome suggested when she noticed the photo booth across the dance room.
"Good idea." Sango said as Kagome pushed in her chair. "You coming Inuyasha?"
"Give me a minute!" Inuyasha grouched before taking a quick swig of his drink.
While they waited in line Sango and Kagome made sure the boy's ties and buttoners were straight before checking each other out to make sure their makeup and hair was in place. To everyone's surprise Miroku so far was on his best behavior. He didn't even flinch when the photographer's assistant moved his right hand to sit on Sango's lower waist. He was a proper gentleman and it brought the warmest smile to Sango's face. When it came time for Inuyasha and Kagome's turn she had Inuyasha stand behind Kagome with his hands resting on her hips. With them being so close Kagome was practically leaning her back against Inuyasha's chest.
"Were you thinking of me when you picked out this dress?" Inuyasha asked quietly into Kagome's ear as the photographer adjusted her lens.
"Maybe." Kagome blushed as she smiled for the camera. "I didn't know much about you at the time besides your Japanese roots. I hope I'm not offending you by my choice."
"Not at all. The dress suits you really well. I just didn't realize the flower design was cherry blossoms until we were standing in line." Inuyasha whispered huskily in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. "You probably didn't know this, but my family's symbol is the cherry blossom."
"Really? The Higurashi's is the sun." Kagome asked as she turned to look at him over her shoulder.
"Hm." Inuyasha nodded as his amber eyes warmed to a honey gold. "I like that it's covering your body like a second skin. It makes me feel proud of my heritage."
"Well I'm honored to wear it." Kagome giggled before kissing his lips.
"Alright you two. Let's keep it moving so other couples can have their photo taken." Chuckled the photographer.
"Just one more!" Kagome said as she pulled Inuyasha's necklace out from under his shirt and pulled it over his head. Not wanting the necklace in the picture she tossed it at the photographer's feet. She smiled up at him as his disguise fell to show his true self. "No more hiding when you're with me."
"Feh…" Inuyasha blushed as he held her a little closer and smiled for the camera.
"Oooh! I love this song!" Sango squealed just as the song Lean On by Major Lazor and DJ Snake began to play. "Come on Miroku!"
"Wait for us!" Kagome laughed as she picked up the necklace and pulled Inuyasha along behind her.
Wanting to get in on the fun, Sango and Kagome dragged the boys to the center of the dance floor. It took them some getting used to all the shuffling around them but they eventually got the hang of it. Soon they were having a great time dancing and singing to the music. When the music picked up the beat they jumped and grooved to the rhythm. It had their blood pounding in their veins and their hearts racing in their chests. They sang as loud as they could to the lyrics and laughed until their stomachs hurt. It was tons of fun and a great memory for all of them. When the DJ switched the beat to a more seductive rhythm Miroku had a hard time keeping his hands to himself. It didn't take long for his bad habits to get the better of him. All Kagome and Inuyasha could do was shake their heads at him when Sango slapped Miroku up the side of the face. No matter how many times she punished him he never learned his lesson.
With the smug look on his face they all knew his thoughts were that it was worth it in the end. Lucky for Inuyasha, Kagome had no issue with his lips and hands exploring her body. As the sway of the music slowed they got swept up in the intoxicating rhythm of their bodies moving and grinding together. With her back to his chest she was able to feel every one of his muscles move against her. He felt so hot and his musky scent had her leaning closer against him. He growled hungrily when she pulled on his tie to bring him closer to her. All she could do was pant for breath when his lips began to suck on her neck as his hands ran along her body. Everything he did to her brought her body to life in ways she never knew it could. She mewled when his knuckles tickled her exposed thigh and teasingly cupped her breasts. Hearing his own groans and grunts of pleasure as he ground his hard arousal against her ass had her panties slick with her juices.
Were they in a more private setting she didn't doubt his hand would have slipped beneath her dress to stroke her. Needing him to understand her want for him she turned around and hooked her leg around his hip. They both moaned shamelessly as his hardened length ground against her wet heat. Although their clothing separated them it didn't stop the rush of pleasure from spreading all the way down to their toes. As their tongues tangled in hot passionate kisses her fingers fisted in his silver hair. Her gentle pulling along with the slow rhythmic grind of her hips had him growling hungrily against her lips. They might have gone a little further had someone not knocked into them in that moment. Before Kagome knew what was happening she'd been jostled and pushed clear across the dance floor. At one point her hand had gotten stepped on and she'd received a knee to the ribs. Were it not for Inuyasha pulling her off of the floor she might have been trampled.
"You alright?!" Inuyasha yelled as he frantically checked her over.
"Yeah… but I could use some fresh air." Kagome panted as the heat of the room was starting to give her a headache.
"Come on, let's go outside." Inuyasha said as he took her hand and weaved her out of the crowd.
