"Damnit, what the hell is taking those two so long to get ready!?" InuYasha
yelled impatiently, as Miroku and him stood outside of Miroku and Sango's
room waiting on Kagome and Sango.
"Well, women generally do take longer to get ready than us men do," Miroku said, picking a piece of lint off of his sleeve.
"And I can't believe I let you convince me to wear this stupid monkey suit!" InuYasha fumed, tugging at his tie and making it come lose, "It's not like this is a really big special... occasion..."
InuYasha trailed off as he noticed Kagome standing in the door way smiling shyly at him. She looked just like he pictured her in his day dream with her long slender legs shown off from under her dark green knee length dress. Just the sight of her legs was enough to constrict InuYasha's chest, but the fact that Kagome's chest was shown off in the sleeveless neckline made InuYasha feel like he was suffocating.
"InuYasha, what are you complaining about now huh?" Kagome asked teasingly, as she walked up and fixed his tie for him, "There. If you keep tugging on it like that, it might just break."
"F-feh!" InuYasha looked away indignantly, hiding his blush behind his ink black hair.
"My My Kagome-sama, what a lovely brooch you are wearing today," Miroku said, only to be smacked in the head by the un-noticed Sango.
"I noticed that you were also admiring the area around which Kagome's necklace hangs Houshi," Sango said, glaring pointedly at Miroku as he straightened and tried to feign ignorance, "You can't pull the wool over my eyes."
"Sango, I am hurt that you would think so lowly of me," Miroku said, giving Sango a quick once-over, or maybe not so quick.
"Spare me!" Sango huffed, glaring at Miroku as his eyes trailed up and down her tight fitting crimson dress that went down to her feet and the rather showy v-neck at her breast.
"InuYasha," Kagome walked up to seemingly oblivious hanyou and tapped him on the shoulder, "did you find a sitter for Shippo?"
"Yeah, he's in the room watching TV," InuYasha mumbled, walking to open their own suite, "Hold on, I'll get him."
"Wow! Kagome you look so pretty!" Shippo bounded out of the room a few seconds later, instantly latching onto Kagome's neck.
"Oh, well thank you Shippo!" Kagome said, hugging the little kit to her, "now lets be going, shall we?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Alright now Shippo, remember what we told you," Kagome said, as she held Shippo's hand and they walked down the corridor and approached room 6574, "you need to keep your disguise up and be polite to the young lady."
"No fighting with the little girls... unless they start beating on you first, then you have no choice," InuYasha said, receiving a glare from Kagome, "Alright, no fighting period, you got that?"
"Yes Mother, Yes Father," Shippo said, smirking at his surrogate parents faces.
"Hello, welcome to my life, not gratuity is necessary please leave your child at the door," Jenn answered the door with a bored expression on her face.
"Um, thanks alot, Shippo will be no trouble at all," Kagome said, bowing to the girl, who bowed back, before turning to leave.
"So kid, come in and join the chaos that is going to get me into so much trouble," Jenn said, leading Shippo into the room where her sisters tore the room apart.
"I hope everything will be alright," Kagome said, as InuYasha escorted her to the front entrance where Sango and Miroku waited.
"He'll be fine," InuYasha said, looking around for Sango and Miroku, "We should probably be more worried about that girl and her little sisters if you ask me."
"Hm... I'm sure they'll be okay," Kagome said, latching onto InuYasha's arm, making him blush, "So, going to eat dinner before we go to the show?"
"What are you crazy!?" InuYasha said, as they reached the elevator where Miroku and Sango were waiting, "These damn tickets cost us a fortune and we're not spending anymore money on you girls tonight!"
"Oh give it a rest InuYasha," Miroku said, as the elevator door opened, "You know damn well that dinner is included with the show, so you shouldn't worry about anything Kagome-sama!"
Sango looked skeptical, "What could possibly be served that's good to eat at a strip show!?"
"It's not a strip show Sango! It is a wonderful showing of culture!" Miroku said defensively as the elevator started to descend.
"Oh give it a rest Miroku!" Sango said in exasperation, "We all know that the only reason we're going to this show is because it's the only one that you guys could get tickets for! And the fact that there are women with hiked up skirts!"
"Well... At least we're getting out... It could be worse they could be forcing us to gamble again," Kagome said as they exited the elevator.
"Never again!" InuYasha said suddenly, getting everyone's attention, "We are never gambling ever again..."
"Um... Okay, whatever you say InuYasha..."
"Alright Mr. Event Planner... How are we getting to this great show of culture?" Sango asked as the exited the hotel into the parking lot.
"Right there," Miroku said, pointing to two occupied parking spaces.
"Are you serious!? You rented a two seat convertible and a motorcycle!?" Sango yelled, smacking Miroku upside the head, "What the hell were you thinking!?"
"Hey Hey Hey! At least we got you a damn ride! You could be walking right no if it weren't for us!" InuYasha yelled, deciding to side with Miroku for once and sitting on the Motorcycle, "So either shut up and get on a vehicle or start walking!"
Sango glared at InuYasha before she curtly turned and sat in the passengers side of the convertible. Miroku smiled widely and took the drivers side before inserting the key and starting out of the parking lot.
"Okay InuYasha, we'll meet you there!" Miroku called back before he exited the parking lot to do battle with the horrendous traffic of the strip.
"Um... I guess I'm riding with you then..." Kagome approached InuYasha tentatively as he put on his helmet and revved up the engine getting a feel for the bike.
"Seems that way, get on," InuYasha said, tossing Kagome a helmet with an arrow and a rose on it and then gesturing her to sit behind him, "Unfortunately Miroku didn't get us a two seated so you'll have to squeeze."
"Um... okay..." Kagome hopped on the bike behind InuYasha and tried to stay as far to the back as possible by holding onto the back of the seat, "Is that okay?"
"Keh, that's fine by me," InuYasha said, revving the engine again before kicking his feet off the ground and starting off at a rather high speed, "Watch your feet."
"Wahh!" Kagome lifted her feet up and immediately slid forward and latched herself to InuYasha, pressing her cheek to his back and closing her eyes.
InuYasha blushed at Kagome's contact but ignored it and started into traffic. Now, being the rather impatient hanyo he is, InuYasha doesn't really stand for traffic, so he immediately started weaving through the traffic and continually speeding up to prove his point.
"InuYasha, I think this is illegal...!" Kagome said, clutching InuYasha tighter as people in cars honked their horns and yelled curses at them, "And I really don't think these people are appreciating it!"
"Shut-up you bastards! Just keep you damned mouths shut!" InuYasha barked back at the cars and flipping them off, as he continued to speed through traffic.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So Miroku, finally decided to join us have you?" InuYasha said mockingly as Miroku and Sango walked to the entrance of the theater.
"Well, unlike you two vigilantes Sango and I actually abide by the law and sit in traffic," Miroku said coolly to InuYasha while walking past him.
"Oh you know that you are just jealous and would've done the exact same thing!" InuYasha sneered before following Miroku in to their table in the front row.
"Oh of coarse we're in the front row!" Sango threw her arms in the air, "If this was actually a respectable show, they would've probably settled for dead in the back and behind a freaking' pole!"
"Hm, I guess so," Kagome said, taking her seat next to InuYasha and Sango.
"Hey, Kagome what's wrong?" Sango asked, looking at Kagome worried, "You seem so quiet and timid tonight. Is something the matter?"
"Um... Well, I guess it could be that I'm still in shock from InuYasha's driving habits!" Kagome smiled and then looked down at her hands in her lap, "But... I just have a feeling that..."
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our show tonight!" a man in a tacky blue suit walked onto the stage and started to announce what they were to be expecting that night and starting the show off.
"Oh god... if this isn't the tackiest show I've seen in my life, god strike me down right now..." Sango said, after watching twenty minutes of can-can girls kicking up their boots.
"Well, at least the food is good," Kagome said, pushing around the food on her plate and trying to avoid looking up at the stage.
"And now ladies and gentle men... the moment you've all been waiting for!" The announcer said from off stage as the lights went off and a single spotlight shown on center stage, "the lovely Japanese beauty!"
"Oh My God!! There is no way! Is that!?" Sango stood up in her chair as a woman with really long black hair walked onto the stage with practically nothing on.
"I don't believe it!" Miroku stood up as well as whistles could be heard coming from the audience.
"Huh... but... that girl... who...?" Kagome looked at Miroku and Sango and then to InuYasha who had the look of someone who'd seen a ghost on his face, "Inu-Yasha?"
"Ki-Kikyo..."
"Huh? That. that's Kikyo?" Kagome looked at the girl on the stage as she began to sing some song about having sex and freak dancing with a pole.
"Damn. this must be what she meant about going into acting. I always thought she was a slut but man. Ah!"
Miroku was punched incredibly hard from the side by a very angry InuYasha who stood over him menacingly, "Don't you ever say anything about Kikyo you goddamned hentai."
"InuYasha!" Sango yelled indignantly as she knelt to help Miroku up, "that was completely un-called for! Just chill out okay!? This has come as a shock for all of us!"
"Feh!" InuYasha turned around and started for the back entrance of the stage, knocking out the guard, after Kikyo had finished her act.
"Damn it. that jerk is completely nuts. he should have guessed Kikyo would end up doing something like this and just forget about her." Sango said spitefully as she helped Miroku to his feet.
"Yes but it is always hard to just give up on someone you once loved," Miroku said matter-of-factly, "I don't think we can even start to understand what he's going through right now."
Kagome sat in her seat speechless listening to Sango and Miroku's conversation as if she didn't even exist. And then her thoughts drifted to InuYasha and tears welled up in her eyes. Kagome wiped at her eyes furiously and cursed herself for being so stupid. She didn't even understand why she was crying or why exactly her chest felt constricted in pain. All that she knew for certain was that she needed to get out of that theater, away from Sango and Miroku, and away from InuYasha right now.
Sango looked up at her conversation with Miroku as the chair next to her was knocked to the floor empty and just in time to see Kagome speeding out the door with tears in her eyes, "Kagome!"
". Hm. I get it." Miroku said solemnly as Kagome completely disappeared from the theater and Sango slumped back into her chair.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome quickly parked the motorcycle in a spot and started walking quickly towards the large illuminated castle tower. As soon as she entered the doors she made a beeline for the elevators and forcefully pushed the button and waited for the elevator to open. When the elevator doors slid open what seemed like hours later, Kagome stomped in and slapped the six button, not bothering to wait for any other people who might want to get on as well to get on. As soon as the doors closed Kagome pressed her forehead to the cool metal surface over the button pad and tried to stop her flow of tears and regain any sense of composure that she could muster.
After she was fairly certain that she could maintain a cool façade and a normal voice, Kagome walked out onto the sixth floor and to door 6574 and knocked on it quietly. She was met with a sight that on a normal day would have made her burst out laughing but tonight was different; she only looked surprised at the disheveled looking little girl who looked like she had a bad experience with a toaster that answered the door.
"Get back in bed or I'll get Shippo-chan to give you a once more with his foxfire!" Jenn said laughingly at the girl as she walked to the door, "Oh Hello! Come to pick up Shippo alread. hey, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine thanks," Kagome said smiling sadly as she greeted Jenn, "Was Shippo good? He didn't cause any trouble did he?"
"Oh no! Not at all he was a great help!" Jenn smiled broadly as she called Shippo to the door, "He's a very nice little boy!"
"Well, I'm very grateful that you could watch him for us miss," Kagome picked up a very sleepy Shippo and bowed to Jenn, holding out a twenty, "For your troubles."
"Iie," Jenn said, shaking her hand at the money and gently pushing the bill back at Kagome, "You keep it. and I hope whatever is bothering you is resolved."
Kagome bowed again and then headed back upstairs to her room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I can't believe that Kagome had the nerve to take off with the motorcycle like that!" InuYasha ranted as him, Sango, and Miroku made their way back to the hotel room.
"I think you got off lucky InuYasha," Sango said curtly, "if it were me in this situation I would beat the crap out of you."
"What the hell are you talking about!?" InuYasha ranted as they stepped out of the elevator and onto their floor, "I didn't do anything!"
"InuYasha you are so blind that it's sad," Miroku said thoughtfully as he began to open his hotel room door.
"Yeah okay, whatever Mirok.. Hey!" InuYasha yelled indignantly as the door remained closed, "What the hell Kagome! Open the door!"
"Go away InuYasha! You're not allowed to come in!" Shippo yelled from the other side of the door.
"What!? You little brat open up right now before I break down the door!" InuYasha yelled, banging his fist on the door to prove his point.
".Please go away InuYasha." Kagome's timid and sad voice came to the door and InuYasha could tell that her forehead was pressed against it.
"Kagome what's your problem huh?! You're being stupid!" InuYasha yelled through the door before being pushed away by Sango.
"You! Go watch TV with Miroku or something!" Sango yelled before knocking quietly on the door," Kagome, can I come in and talk to you?"
Kagome timidly opened the door and allowed Sango to come in. InuYasha's eyes met with Kagome's for a brief moment and InuYasha was able to see the pain and sorrow etched clearly into them. They were blood shot and tear trails could be see clearly on her cheeks.
"Come on InuYasha, lets go learn how to play poker," Miroku said, pulling InuYasha by the arm into his room.
"Kagome."
A/N: *holding up a shield and decked in full armor* OMG! DON'T KILL ME!!! I have a slightly reasonable excuse I suppose. actually it isn't all that good. See, I had run into a wall. Yeah, a writers wall. You know, I hit the damn thing so hard that I went into a coma and I just now woke up. yeah. ahem. anyways. I am so incredibly bored these days that I might just be compelled to write through my writers block. I did through this chapter, that's why it sucks. I will hopefully get the next chapter out soon so just sit tight, ne?
Disclaimer: You know, I bought all the characters on e-bay but I have some up for sale. Yeah, anybody want to bid anything for Kikyo? Yeah, she's always ruining my perfect plots with her incessant meddling! Just because she's a bitch in the show, do you think that gives her the right to mess with Kagome and InuYasha's blossoming love in my story too!? Man. anyways, you can have her. .Alright so I don't really own anything but I'm sure you already knew that didn't you?
Next Chapter: The happiest day of her life. is it really?
"Well, women generally do take longer to get ready than us men do," Miroku said, picking a piece of lint off of his sleeve.
"And I can't believe I let you convince me to wear this stupid monkey suit!" InuYasha fumed, tugging at his tie and making it come lose, "It's not like this is a really big special... occasion..."

I will hopefully get the next chapter out soon so just sit tight, ne?
Disclaimer: You know, I bought all the characters on e-bay but I have some up for sale. Yeah, anybody want to bid anything for Kikyo? Yeah, she's always ruining my perfect plots with her incessant meddling! Just because she's a bitch in the show, do you think that gives her the right to mess with Kagome and InuYasha's blossoming love in my story too!? Man. anyways, you can have her. .Alright so I don't really own anything but I'm sure you already knew that didn't you?
Next Chapter: The happiest day of her life. is it really?
