Chapter one
The sound of a head banging against a desk sounded throughout the quiet house. Kagome dropped her head on her desk, completely frustrated. Her head lay upon a bunch of papers, with difficult math equations scribbled across them.
"I can't do this! None of this is sticking in my head, I'm going to fail the exam!" She cried out.
A loud ringing came from her right and Kagome leapt from her desk, with a fright. She looked down at her phone that was the cause of the loud ringing. Her best friend's name flashed on the screen. Kagome grabbed the phone and pressed it to her ear.
"Yes, Sango?"
"Babe, you are coming out with me tonight." Sango stated.
Kagome pinched the bridge of her nose. "Sango, I've told I'm not going out tonight. I need to study for my math final."
That's all she's been doing lately.
"Babe, that's what you've been doing every night, for the past week. Come out with me, its Friday night! And you've just turned 18, come live it up now!" Sango argued. "You know what, I don't care if you say no, I'm gonna come get you anyway. I'm on my way now."
Before Kagome could stop her, Sango hung up the phone. Kagome let out a frustrated laugh and plopped herself on her bed. She smiled slightly. Sango was always like this, never taking no for an answer.
Kagome had turned 18 last Friday, and she hasn't even celebrated it yet. She hated that her birthday was so close to finals. And she had to admit, she would've liked to go out tonight. But the weight of the math final was weighing on her, and she was terrible with math. She needed every minute to study!
Before she could contemplate anymore, she heard her front door open and someone coming up the stairs. Her bedroom door opened to reveal a breath-taking Sango. Sango was wearing a dark purple, strapless cocktail dress with matching high heels. Her make-up was done to perfection, with silver eyeshadow and dark red lips.
"Okay, so lets get you ready." Was all Sango said before making a beeline for Kagome's closet. After five minutes of digging around she threw out a deep blue cocktail dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves. Then she pulled out a pair of black wedges.
"Get ready."
Knowing that she had no choice now, Kagome silently slipped the dress and shoes on. Sango pushed her by the shoulders over to the vanity table and sat her down and began to do her makeup and hair.
45 minutes later Kagome was finished and when she looked in the mirror she was surprised. She did not recognise the beauty in front of her. Her ebony hair was perfectly straightened and styled n an elegant way. Her makeup was light, with deep blue eyeshadow that made her eyes look amazing and nude lipstick. Now that she had seen what she looks like she was suddenly excited to go out.
She quickly turned to face Sango with a bright smile on her face. "Okay, what are we waiting for? Let's go already!"
They quickly ordered an uber to the nearest club: Pandemonium. It was a new club in town; only having opened up about two months ago. But it quickly become very popular especially with the younger crowd such as Sango and Kagome. It took about 15 minutes for the girls o arrive there and luckily the line to get in wasn't that long.
The bouncer scanned over their ID's and gave them an interrogating stare. Kagome felt panic wash over her at that moment; they didn't remember to check the minimum age requirement before they left. Some clubs only let you in when you are 21 and some at the age of 18.
But her panic quickly went away when the bouncer handed them back their ID's and let them inside. Both girls breathed a sigh of relief as they entered the dark and thriving club. It was nearly packed inside; with a mountain of people grinding and drunkenly dancing on the dancefloor. Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and quickly walked to an open spot at the bar.
"Seeing as it was your birthday last week; tonight is on me!" Sango said loudly, as they could barely hear over the techno and trap music the DJ was playing.
Kagome smiled and thanked her. It took a few minutes until the barman finally made his way over to them. He was handsome; thick brown hair long enough to tie into a small pony at the back of his neck. Gorgeous blue eyes, and when the light caught him you could see two gold studs in his ears. When he caught sight of Sango, he grinned flirtatiously.
"How may I be of service, my lady?" He said, seductively.
Sango rolled her eyes but grinned back at him and ordered two double Vodka's with cranberry juice. He winked at her and went about to pour their drinks. When he came back he set them down on the table and as Sango was about to pull out her wallet he held up his hand to stop her.
"No charge, for such a beautiful woman and her equally as gorgeous friend." He said with a wink.
Before the girls could protest, he leant across the bar to give Sango a kiss on the cheek and wish them a good night. Sango and Kagome walked to a table while Sango was blushing like crazy.
"Oh my fuck, he was so cute, girl." Sango moaned while holding her head up.
Kagome laughed and took a sip of her drink before replying. "Maybe, if you're lucky enough, he'll give you his number at the end of the night. Just try not get too drunk before that."
Sango rolled her eyes at her friend but couldn't help but join in her laughter. Out the corner of Kagome's eye something caught her attention.
Or maybe someone.
She turned to her right to see who it was and her breath stopped. Sitting not too far away from her at a private table was the most gorgeous man she had ever laid eyes on. He had long, straight silver hair that seemed to reach up to his hips. You could clearly see the muscles pulsing under his tight black long-sleeved shirt. But his ace was the most fascinating to her.
His face was smooth and handsome. He looked like a God had chiselled him out of stone. The tattoos on his face were the most striking to her; three magenta stripes on his cheeks and a blue half-moon on his forehead. Usually Kagome hated face tattoos but on him it was so sexy and alluring. Lastly, she came to his eyes; they were golden and smooth and looking directly at Kagome.
She quickly turned to face Sango and blushed scarlet at the fact that this handsome stranger had caught her drooling over him. She quickly started sipping on her drink, praying Sango didn't notice, but unfortunately she did. She turned to where Kagome was staring and gave her a devilish smile.
"Mr. Tall and Sexy can't take his eyes off you, babe. It's like he's having eye sex with you."
Kagome quickly snapped her head up to give a wide eyed stare at Sango and slowly turn to face the handsome stranger. Sango was not wrong; when Kagome caught his eye again she could see the lust and wanting in his eyes. And he smiled a seductive smile before standing up and making his way towards them.
Kagome panicked and quickly downed her drink before grabbing Sango's hand and dragging her away from the table. "Let's go dance!"
A confused Sango and Kagome pushed their way through the crowd on the dancefloor until they found a spot wide enough for the both of them. Kagome had always been a good dancer and she could always get lost in any kind of music. And that's what she intended to do right now. Shaking off her nerves from the stranger she started to dance to the music with Sango soon following her lead.
Soon, she became lost to the music and forgot about her unnerving meeting of the stranger. A few songs had played since then and Kagome went back to the bar to go fetch new drinks for her and Sango.
She waited there for a few minutes as the bar was more packed than earlier. She stilled quickly when she felt strong hands hold her hips from behind and lips close to her ears.
"I don't like being run from, little one." A seductive and deep voice said.
Kagome quickly spun around ready to slap the pervert that was touching without permission before she stopped herself. It was her gorgeous stranger. His golden eyes were so intimidating so close to her. He still had a hold of her hips and his lustful smile sent shivers down her spine.
She was speechless.
He smirked at her lack of speech and softly grabbed her chin so she couldn't tear her eyes away from him. "That was very naughty of you to run, my darling."
He pushed her further into the bar until he was flush against her. The more he spoke, the more turned on Kagome was getting. She had no idea why she had this pull towards him or why he had such an effect on her. It was familiar and comforting, but also exciting and terrifying at the same time.
"Do I know you?" She questioned with a wavering voice. Damn, she hated how he was affecting her.
He grinned and Kagome's eyes widened at what she thought were sharp, elongated canines.
"No you don't but soon you will, my love. You will soon realise that you belong to me alone."
As he said that he started to lean down to try kiss her. Her senses finally came back to her and anger flared inside Kagome. Before she knew it, she had slapped him hard.
So hard, in fact, that the people close to her stopped what they were doing and gasped. They looked between the two of them in fear.
"I don't know who you think you are; but I belong to no man. I am my own person and you will treat me accordingly if I am ever so unfortunate to run into you again. Fuck you, asshole!" She shouted.
With that she turned on her heels and stomped her way towards the dancefloor.
The stranger stared after her in surprise. No woman had ever disrespected him so much and it turned him on. He had grown bored over the few centuries with how obedient the women he bedded were.
He smiled devilishly and decided right there and then. This woman was going to be his mate one more or the other.
