"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed,
With a word she can get what she came for.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven........"
The song ended, and a couple more chords were played on the guitar.
They were beautiful, as his voice. She finally, let sleep overtake her.
In the back of her mind, she was still conscious, because when she heard
her name, she woke up right away.
"I dedicate that to you, Kagome."
She smiled. She didn't know who it was, or who sang it, but it would
be forever in her memory, locked away with a key. As it was in her heart.
She still had her eye's closed. If she didn't, she would have noticed
the pink petal, that was kissed, and sent her way. It landed next to her,
and she felt the warmth radiating off of it, inside of her...
Also, if she had her eye's open, she would have noticed the silvery
hair flowing in the wind, right in back of her...

It Takes Two To Do The Tango
Order Nine
Jealousy Is In The Air!
Jealousy, jealousy,
Two o'clock in the morning , I don't see my love around.
You say you want to be with me girl,
But you're never to be found.
I know you're seeing someone else,
And it's sending me insane.
Jealousy , taking me over and over again,
Jealousy , saying you love ,but inside you pretend.
You say I go on needlessly,
Finding wrong in all I see.
But I know in my heart from the start,
You wanted to play,
You know I'm so alive with you.
Telling love with all you do.
I know I'm gonna drive your love away.
You were my inspiration,
You were the answer to my prayer.
A lover I could depend on and soften all my cares,
I can't believe you're out at night holding someone new.
-Jealousy

Kagome sat at her seat in history looking out the window aimlessly.
It has been six days now ever since the whole bet. And throughout it, she
was loosing terribly. Inuyasha would no longer even come near here, or
spare her a glance. She doubted that he even thought about her at all.
For once, she didn't care about loosing the bet.
She cared about loosing Inuyasha.
She sighed and wished there would be someone like whoever played that
music for her out there waiting for her. She wondered what it would be
like to be in their embrace, and hear sweet words flow out of his mouth
with a sweet melody. But no, she didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve
anything close to that.
It was about half-way through the period, when a tall boy walked in,
with long black hair in a pony-tail. "Sorry I'm late, I had some business
to take care of." He said, sitting down in his seat. Now, you know he was
pretty close up there in the charts, actually. After Miroku, you know,
the third. Inuyasha, Miroku, then Kouga. Yeah, people swooned over him
too.
He wore a baggy shirt, and baggy pants, and leaned in the back of his
chair. He looked around the room and saw Kagome. He smiled, and since the
teacher was out at the moment, decided to make his move. "Hey, Kags. Whatcha'
doin' Friday night?" He said, showing off his pearly white teeth.
"Umm.. actually, I don't think I have any..-" She was cut off.
"She's with me, bug off you ass." A masculine voice said, looking
Kouga straight in the eye. He was just ASKING for a fight if he
went on and said anything more.
"Oh, really? Well I'll have you know, that she's my girlfriend, and
we're dating. So bug off, screwball." Kouga said, raising a fist to Inuyasha's
face. He was going to accept the fight, if there was one.
"Kagome would never go for someone like you! Who the hell would want
someone like you? Your just a fuckin' ass wimp!" He said, starting
to growl within his throat.
"STOP IT!" Kagome yelled out, she then stood up out of her chair
and came within two inches' of Inuyasha's face. "How dare you! You son
of a bitch! You listen here, you will not go ignoring me, and then
all of a sudden come out and tell me who I can and can't date! Who the
fuck
do you think you are?" She said, pushing him into the wall.
"I think I'm the one who should be protecting you from him!" He said,
like it was the most obvious thing in the world, and everyone knew it.
"If you were protecting me, why did you still hurt me so much?"
Her voice got quieter, and her eye's got glossy.
"Kagome.. I-" Cut off by Kagome's whimper.
"Fine, if you want to ruin my life more than it already is, DO
it. I don't care anymore! This is it Inuyasha, if this is what makes you
happy, than go right ahead. But, remember, I still get pay-back. And I'll
show it to you right now." She all of a sudden, leaned up to the stunned
Kouga by the conversation, and kissed him.
Fully, on the lips. His eye's widened, and he then smiled within the
kiss. He closed his eye's along with her, and wrapped his arms around her
waist. She compelled by wrapping her arms around his neck, and pushing
herself against him. Inuyasha just stood there, not showing any emotion
in the world.
Kagome pulled away, and then looked at Inuyasha. "I still...I can't
get rid of you Inuyasha, not even when I'm kissing another man." She said,
with a sigh.
Inuyasha just looked at her, his mind starting to get to him... "Kagome,
I can't stop you. Be with Kouga, but you have to promise me one thing."
He said, suddenly in front of her.
"What's that?" She said, breathlessly looking in his face full of sorrow
and regret.
"Don't forget me." He all of a sudden, shockingly, leaned his head down,
put his hand on her chin and tilted it up.
He kissed her.
It was a full kiss, and he just let go on the grip he had on her. "See
you 'round, Kagome." He walked silently out of class, heading towards
his secret spot outside.
By the time he walked out, she finally opened her eye's, staring out
the door like he was just going to come back in, like it was any old day.
Smirking, and scowling, ready to play a prank on her. Not this time, this
time, it was for real. He wasn't coming back.
She stood there, stunned, as well as the rest of their class. Their
point of view, was loudly spoken by the class clown, Shippou.
"HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?" He said, everyone clearly
understanding what he said, and what he was thinking.
On the count of three...
One..
Two..
Three.
Kagome ran out of the room and everyone sat in silence. Somewhere, during
this whole thing, the teacher had come back, and dropped all her papers.
This, was going to be a long day..
***
Kagome ran as fast as she could, running to the place where Inuyasha
was probably was at. Then, she tripped over a rock, and some pain seared
through out her veins when she felt something on her neck, she looked down.
It was red. It was.. holy crap! That was from her dream.. but,
her dream.. IT WAS REAL!
She really knew now, she had to get a move on, and find Inuyasha. She
didn't care any more about the bet, she didn't care that it had only been
six days. She did not give a rat's ass damnit! She ran as fast as her legs
could carry her, and finally got out into the beginning of the field. She
saw a figure, in the middle of the field, just standing up and pushing
their head towards the sky.
"Its now.. or never.." She all of a sudden, sprinted to the figure,
and wrapped her arms around it from the back. She snuggled into him, and
rested her head on their backbone. "Inuyasha.. Don't.. don't leave.. don't
go, stay.. with me." She said, quietly, nuzzling her face into his long
and slivery hair that rested on his back.
He just stood there, eye's open wide in shock. He let Kagome speak for
him. "I don't care if I'm rushing.. I just want to be with you.. even though
we've hated each other for so many years, I can't let this pass up..."
She suddenly let go of him, and walked right in front of him. She looked
into his moist amber-golden eyes, and said it. All these years of harboring
those feelings, and the last six days in the truth.. the light..
"Inuyasha, I love you."
He gasped, and looked down at her. She was crying, and it didn't look
like the best thing in the world in his opinion. Only because, he didn't
like to see her cry. So, he put his hand on her cheek and whipped away
the tears. She looked up to him in hope, and he looked down and gave her
a warm smile. He leaned down slowly, and whispered in her ear.
"I love you too, Kagome."
She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, and pulled away slowly. Then,
she went right for his lips, and when they kissed, all the pent-up emotion
seemed to come out. They embraced each other, and pulled the other close.
Inuyasha broke away from the kiss, and looked Kagome deeply in the eye's.
"Kagome.. I'm sorry for everything.. everything I did to hurt you.. and
this.." He touched her cheek and she flinched. It was where he slapped
her, and it was still red.
He was hurt beyond all reason when she flinched at his touch. He instead,
leaned in and kissed it, and then went back to rubbing her cheek. This
time, she didn't flinch. "I'm so sorry Kagome.. I just, I don't know..
I was kind of mad, you know?" He said, trying to make scene.
"I understand.. I mean, I did after all play you like that, and I am
pretty sorry about that.. I won't do it ever again.." She leaned up and
kissed him again, "But, I do need to know one thing."
"What?"
"Where did this come from?" She pointed to her neck, and let Inuyasha
see it in the light. He just blushed, and took his hand and scratched behind
his head.
"Um.. Kouga?" He grinned, obviously guilty.
"You little devil.." She said slyly, still enjoying the embrace fully.
All of a sudden, the wind picked up, and it froze her to the bone. Inuyasha
held her closer, and the snuggled into each other's arms, Kagome closing
her eye's in relaxation.
Once again, cherry blossoms danced around them, when Inuyasha just started
singing out of nowhere to her.
"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed,
With a word she can get what she came for."
"You... were the one.. singing to me.." She said, breathlessly, taking
in his beautiful voice.
"I was.. it was dedicated to you, and only you. I don't bother with
Kikyou anymore, I don't care about her.." He nuzzled his face into her
raven hair, and took a deep breath. Her scent was wonderful, and full of
anticipation. "...Gods, Kagome.. you.. are so wonderful, I don't
know how I could have ever hated you.. maybe I just played pranks on you
because I didn't want to like you.. I didn't want to end up like all the
other guy's who you dumped shamelessly after one night of fun." She caught
the disappointment in his voice.
"If I tell you something, you can't tell anyone. Okay?" She said,
sternly.
"You have my promise."
"Well, you have nothing to be jealous of. I'm a virgin." She said, looking
at the ground, suddenly finding it more interesting than his face at the
moment.
He just grinned, evilly at that comment. Oh man, did he have an idea
now..., "Kagome, you do remember what I said earlier, a couple or so days
ago?" He said, questioning her.
"No.. I don't recall anything out of the ordinary." She said, trying
to catch on what he was getting at.
Then, she had a flashback.
-Flashback-
He put his hand on the back of her chair, and pulled.
Crash, went her chair. Crash, went his head.
Kagome flailed her hands around, and she grabbed onto his shiny thick
silver hair. And of course, with her falling back, Inuyasha's hair wasn't
going to help keep her up.
He fell along with her, and he landed on top of her. The last position
he would ever want to be in with her, of all people! Now, what happened
next, wasn't expected, and Inuyasha, was NOT happy.
Kagome leaned up to scratch her head, and check it to make sure she
wasn't bleeding, and her lips came in contact with his. Their eyes both
widened and Inuyasha jumped off of her like no tomorrow.
He was in terrible shock. "You...just stole my first kiss! You ASS!"
He screamed out, pointing a finger at her.
She, also went into shock. 'Inuyasha's.. never been kissed? Oh my
God.. what have I done..?' She thought nervously. "Its not my fault! Your
the one who pulled back my chair and fell on top of me! Don't blame other
people for your mistakes!"
He growled deeply within his throat. "You...bitch.. you will pay
the ultimate price. I'll steal something precious from you, just you wait.
You won't be happy if I have anything to do with it!" He yelled, slamming
his hand on the desk.
Kagome then said, "I have nothing that you can steal."
"I'll find out.. I have my sources."
-End Flashback-
She gasped as she realized what he was getting at. "You wouldn't...
you wouldn't dare.." She said, looking at him, very surprised.
"You would be surprised of what I'm capable of, Kagome." He said, still
grinning down at her. She suddenly jumped out of his embrace, and ran through
the field laughing.
"You can't catch me! So you can't touch me!" She yelled, taunting him.
"Oh yeah? Well, it doesn't matter, 'cause you already agreed."
He smiled, and she stopped in her tracks.
"Since, when did I agree?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at his
talk. She had another flashback.
-Flashback-
"Tell me.. tell me how you feel."
"I feel like dying. I feel like I shouldn't be living. I was cruel,
to this one boy. He was a wonderful blessing, and I used him like a piece
of garbage. He didn't like me much either, but I could tell I was beginning
to grow on him.."
The person snorted.
"...so, this was all because of a bet that was made. I took the offer,
and it resulted horribly. Because.. I got him very angry at me. But...
I didn't want that. I realized.. that.. I loved him.."
The person whimpered.
"I loved him. I really did. But, the problem is, I still do..and..-"
she was cut off, by the last thing she thought possible.
The person, kissed her. She didn't know who this was, but she kissed
back fully, thinking she could trust them. They then deepened the kiss,
and she wrapped her arm's around him. She then broke the kiss, and tried
to look at him, but she still couldn't, she sighed in frustration.
"Who, are you?" She finally asked, curiosity getting the better of
her.
"The person who got my first kiss from you."
Kagome just smiled, "Sorry honey, but I've taken lots of people's
first kisses, you have to be more specific."
"Lets just say, someone who you know."
"It takes two to do the tango." She said, calmly, really trying to
regain her vision. She smiled when she heard the guy gasp at what she just
said. "I take it as you know what the means, my friend. In my language."
"I do. I do know what it means."
-End Flashback-
'Oh, great. Good move Kag's!' She said in her mind, without sarcasm.
She then turned around and smiled at him. "So.. you want me, ne? How about
we make it, *Kagome* style?" She walked up to him, letting her hips
bounce back and fourth, while walking to him.
"I..." He was froze, when he saw the way she was moving, and gulped.
She slyly ran a finger from his jaw-line down to his throat, and kissed
his neck. She blew hot breath in the nape of his neck, and said, "Not here..
not now.. you can wait, my puppy."
She then just walked off, back to school, without Inuyasha. He just
stood there, finally realizing she was gone, and left to follow in her
footsteps.
To say he was on Cloud Nine, was the biggest understatement,
of the century.

AN: They're together, yay! Hm.. but you know, this is only on chapter
nine, and what about that bet that Inuyasha made with Miroku? Uh oh, I
hear trouble coming on its way..
