From The Inside

Ch.6: Some Things Just Never Add Up...

By: DumbAssPunk

            They all stopped in front of the main building, handing the keys to a random valet. Looking over at the long line, the guys simultaneously sighed. The same thought rang through all of their minds- *What a long wait...* Kurama was surprised out of his musing as Natasni tugged on his hand, following Kagome and Hiei up to the front, oblivious of the cat calls and leering looks that she received. Kurama, on the other hand, did, and was death glaring random guys. Kagome was talking with the bouncer when they got there.

            "Hey Josh! Is Stephanie there?"

            "Hai, Kagome, she is. Are you all going to chill for a while?" The large Southern guy smiled down at her (non-lecherously of course).

            "Yep! You don't mind, now do ya?"

            "Naw, go on ahead. Tell Steph 'Hi' for me while you're at it." He moved out of the way, and ushered then in the door. Kagome grinned at the group.

            "Let's go!"

-----------------

          Kagome and Natasni grinned, letting go of their escorts' arms. They both leisurely walked out to the dance floor, with a swing in their step that they sure as hell knew the guys were watching. Turning to one another, the both shared a wicked grin.

            ^Ready? ^

            ~Hell yea! ~

            The music started up, and they began dancing, sensually lip singing with the song. As Brittney Spears: Toxic, kept playing, their dancing became more wild and exotic, until it could only be called one thing~ dirty. Hiei and Kurama were stock still, watching with certain adjustments here and there to clothes, and their jaws were slightly slack. The music soon changed, and both drug their guys out. Kagome grinned at Hiei's dazed expression.

            She blinked up at him innocently, though her mischievous grin threw the look off a bit. "What? Don't know how to dance, my tree sprite?"

            He rolled his eyes, smirking. "You're not challenging me, onna."

            "Really." She raised a brow at him. After a moment, she sighed dramatically. "Fine, I'll just have to ask Kuwabara to dance with me then." She gestured over at him, what was dancing by himself at the moment, reminding her of a rabid baboon...

Hiei growled, pulling Kagome closer to himself. "You are not dancing with him." He pulled her gently by the waist to the main floor, missing her triumphant smirk as Nelly's song: Burn, came on. Wrapping her arms around his neck as his wrapped around her waist, she smiled and rested her head on his well chiseled chest.

---------------

            Stopping for a moment between songs, Hiei and Kagome were talking of random places in Makai, Reikai, and Ningenkai that they'd been and so forth when she was suddenly engulfed by something large and white. Hiei forced down a growl as this extremely tall guy swallowed up his Kagome. All of a sudden, a little sign came out that quelled his jealousy (which he'd never admit), if not his anger. It read, "WHO THE HELL IS HUGGING ME?!", in Kagome's handwriting. Hiei smirked slightly before pulling the guy off her, or at least...he tried to, to be stopped by a tail attaching the man to Kagome. *What the...a youkai?!* He growled as the girl climbed out of the guy's arms and tail discreetly, coming to a stand next to her original date, a puzzled look on her face as the male youkai slowly turned around. Hiei was now nonstop growling, his arm around her waist and standing defensively next to her. He blinked as he took in the guy standing before them, whose eyes were on Kagome. He was about 6'8" at least, with long silvery hair cascading down his back. His bangs were slightly messy and parted to give an over all 'fallen angel' appearance to the rest of his attire. Molten gold eyes were slightly detached, but were sparked with anger for being brushed off most likely, and some sort of anticipation was slowly growing as he gazed down at Kagome. He had a white muscle shirt showing off powerfully built arms and tone abs of his influential frame, and baggy white pants held with a silver studded leather belt, the kanji for 'inu' stamped in the leather. A silvery brow rose, and suddenly a fluffy silver tail was draped over his left shoulder and his facial markings showed through. A light blue crescent was in the middle of his brow, and two maroon stripes were on his pale features, along with more winding from his elbow to his wrists.

            "Sesshou?" Hiei glanced over to see Kagome looking up at the guy with a glazed and dazed look, and glanced back at the guy with a glare, seeing him nod once to her. She sprang forwards, taking the tall youkai by surprise.

            Hiei scowled. He didn't enjoy this at all. *Why does it feel as if not only had she herself had stabbed me in the heart, but she'd heated the blade and twisted it as well?! All she's doing is hugging that pompous jerk...*

            'It's because you love her.'

            *Who are you to tell me what I feel?*

            'Baka- I am you! ~_Sigh_~ Simpleton. I'm your conscious- you can call me chibi Hiei! ^_^'

            *Hn. I'm already 'chibi'. It seems that she goes for the tall, dashing, unemotional, egotistical types who aren't against being like that in public.*

            '~_Yawn_~ Dome with the pity party yet?'

            *What?!*        

            'You heard me! Now tell me, if you supposedly "don't like her", then why are you so possessive and such right now?'

            *Because...well...I...SHUT UP! I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU!!!*

            '~_GLARE_~ I will not shut up until YOU admit that YOU like her as more than friends!'

            *I do NOT! This is merely what they call "friendly concern".'

            'Feh! Even you know that sounded pathetically weak!'

            *SHUT UP YOU ANNOYING VOICE IN MY DAMN HEAD!!!!!!*

            'Not until you admit it.'

            *I don't like Kagome!*

            'Do too.'

            *Do NOT.*

            'Too.'

            *Not.*

            'Too.'

            *NOT.*

            'Too.'

            *NOT.*

            'Too.'

            *NOT.*

            'Yea, you do.'

            *FINE! I'm in love with Kagome! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW YOU EVIL LITTLE THING IN MY FRIGGEN HEAD?!*

            '~_Blink_~ Y-y-y-you are?'

            * ~_grumblegrumblediegrumble_~ *

            'Wow. I thought it was just a..."crush" as they call it.'

            *Well, it's not. Now, you've got your answer, so LEAVE.*

            'Not so fast~ one more question.'

            *If it will make you leave...*

            'Well...two actually. 1) Do You wish to take her as a mate someday?'

            *.........Hn.*

            'Hn, interesting. 2) Have you noticed how similar their scents are?'

            *WHAT?!*

            'Eh...heh...heh...IdiditbecauseyoureallyneedtoopenuptoyourselfandnowI'mgoingtogoJane! ~_Runs_~'

~_Growl_~ I will kill it one of these days...* He was shaken out of his daze by a pale hand waving in from of his face. He snatched it from the air with his own, and traveled down its attached arm to meet concerned blue eyes gazing back at him. His face visibly relaxed as he looked at her, and his eyes closed for a moment to reassure her. She smiled and hugged him gently.

"Hiei-kun, I'd like you to meet my brother, Lord Sesshoumaru, Taiyoukai of the Western Lands and Ruler of Makai."

            Hiei knelt with one knee on the floor and the other bent as he kept his face down, studying the carpeted flooring. *First, she's Koenma's fricken younger sister. Now she's the sister of the ruler of Makai?! What next?*

            "Hn. Stand Hiei. If my sister sees something in you then you're respected in my eyes." He barely smirked as Hiei blinked up at his, slowly standing. Feeling a glare, Sesshoumaru turned to Kagome. "Hai?"

            "You, mister, have a LOT of explaining to do. I swear if I didn't like you so much I'd kick you so hard they'd need another ruler in Makai." She poked him hard in the chest to emphasize her point.

            He waved her hand away. "Hai...Hai...Hai, the point of all this is that you do like me, if you could leave me such a gift before disappearing. You know InuYasha is here as well?" His brow rose at the end of his inquiry to show that he was interested.

            Kagome leaned lightly on Hiei, who didn't seem to mind. "Really? Sheesh, might as well have a friggen family reunion!"

            Sesshoumaru grimaced. "Please don't. Do you know what the last one was like? I swear that the family is dysfunctional, with it's vastness of inu, fire, neko, ookami, rain, wind, ocelot, and toad demons; mikos, demon exterminators, monks, spirit realmists, super naturals, humans, and so forth. What a headache. Why did I even start to put the Western Line back together?"

            "And I thought my family had been complicated..." murmured Hiei.

            Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as Kagome giggled and said dryly, "You really have no idea. Kagome, Kirara nearly killed Mark- do you know how hard it is to get a fire neko to leave the realmist be after he said that Sango was annoying? And Koenma always starts trouble with InuYasha, I swear." Sesshoumaru sighed. "And to think it all started over a bowl of Ramen..."

            Kagome giggled. "You guys still eat Ramen?"

            He nodded. "Of course. We're technically the creators, for once your supplies ran out, Sango found a way to make them herself."

            Kagome grinned. "Always knew she was smart."

            Sess rolled his eyes. "You are the only one I know who would find this humorous. Come, we can sit in the tables further back."

            "Alright, fluff-ball. Hold your horses, as I tell the others where we're going. I hate to worry people." Hiei smirked. *Yea, riiiiiiiight.*

            Kagome's eyes closed and one of her numerous barriers came down. ^Hey guys? ^

            ~Hai? ~ Natasni tilted her head to the side.

            -Hai- Kurama stood with an arm around Natz as he waited.

            /*Smirk* Hai. / Hiei walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder.

--Hai – Kuwabara stood leaning on the bar, with Yukina looking up at him to see what the matter was. He quickly told her what was up before placing his attention back with Kagome.

            What's crackin'? Yusuke held Keiko to himself as he and she swung to a slower song, his head resting on hers as she rested her forehead on his chest.

            ~*~Why am I included, Kagome-imouto? ~*~ Sesshoumaru was looking down at her curiously.

            ^Well, I need to-^

            KAGOME!!!!

            Kagome blinked, trying to remember who it was who was screeching her name in their heads painfully. ^Eh...that's my name...^

            Oh my GOSH! This is so neat! I can't believe it's you! I mean, when's the last time we like talked?! That was back...wow! That one time when you were totally mauled and having troubles with insomnia...strange how you slept a lot at my house... She continued to ramble on about her house.

            Hiei opened a private link. /Mauled, Kagome? /

            ^I'd rather not talk about the lower aspects of my life. ^ She stared blankly forwards, her eyes unfocused, and anywhere but on him.

            Hiei growled, taking her chin to have her face facing his. /Kagome. Stop this. You hide everything from me; from us. I've told you the horrors of my past, and it's healed me through you. Why won't you let me offer the same to you? /

            The temperature of the club dropped a few notches, and rain was now falling heavily outside and pounded the roof. When she met eyes with him finally, he inwardly gasped. Her normally calm ocean blue eyes were stormy cobalt, with bright orange streaks through them, and were full of pain.

            A growl of warning met everyone's ears within an eight-foot radius of Sesshoumaru, as his eyes seeped red. *~Speak not of what you do not understand, three eyes. You WILL respect my sister's decision of tell who she wants, when she wants, and not press her. If I ever hear or hear of you asking her again, I will-~*

            ^Do nothing. ^

            Sesshoumaru let mildly surprised eyes rest on Kagome, his face nearly impassive as usual. His left ankle was glowing a bright orange, with bits of cobalt weaving through it for a few moments before he nodded and turned, calling over his shoulder commandingly, "I will be expecting you no later than five minutes from now." He soon disappeared into the crowds.

            /I apologize, Kagome. / Hiei buried his head where her neck met her shoulder.

            Kagome smiled slightly, stroking his wild black hair idly with a shaking hand. ^Hiei...^

**VaSr: Hehe, I'm sorry if it's been a bit over a week, if it has been..., I seriously can't remember what day I'd placed Ch.5...

InuYasha: Feh. You just were lazy, and didn't feel like typing!

**VaSr: SHUT UP! YOU'RE TELLING ALL MY SECRETS!

InuYasha: Technically, you did.

**VaSr: *Glares, but surprisingly does nothing...*

InuYasha:    ?!

Miroku: Milady VaSr, may I say that you've learned some definite patience sense we've last talked?

**VaSr: Well, it's not actually that, it's the fact that I've learned that there's no use getting mad and beating up him when there are others who are happy to do so for me.

Miroku: @_@ *baffled*

**VaSr: *points behind InuYasha*

Miroku: *turns, to have eyes widen* O.O Kagome-sama, Kouga-san?

**VaSr: *Grins wickedly*

Kagome: INUYASHA!

InuYasha: *cringes*

Kouga: MUTT FACE! HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS ABOUT MY WONDERFUL WOMAN!!!

InuYasha: *glares* Bit me, you flea-bitten wolf!

Kagome: INUYASHA!!!!!!! How dare you say that about Kouga-kun!!!! SIT! SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIT, and oh, by the way, why don't you SIT down, are you having fun SITting? I believe that to SIT is a great thing, for I love to SIT! Don't forget to SIT SIT SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! And here's an OSUWARI FOR GOOD MEASURES!!!!!!!!!

**VaSr: *Blinks, and walks over to what seems to be a naturally made pit, with smoke coming from it.*

Pit: *moans, groans, and curses*

**VaSr: Oh dear, I think we hurt that pit when InuYasha fell in it. It sounds hurt...

Kagome: No, VaSr, that isn't a pit, that's a big Inu-crater and it's him muttering down there.

**VaSr: *blinks* Oh. Well, that's ok then. *turns and walks away*

Kouga: *Laughs, and throws rocks at InuYasha from his seat next to the crater, where his feet dangle down over the edge* Stupid Mutt-face!

Sesshoumaru: I think we're to go now....Look down or else...*glares evilly*
