AN: IMPORTANT!! This chapter will now be rated R instead of PG13. There will be no sex scenes (yuck! O.o;;) though, so don't worry. That's not exactly why. And no one gets raped.

Moving on. Here's the second chapter. Sorry for all the mistakes in it, but I don't think there is too many. Please enjoy ^^ and if for any reason this gets too…intense, then just stop reading. For those of you who go to high school dances (even middle school, unfortunately) this should be nothing you haven't see *sighs*

So go ahead and read ^^ and tell me what you think at the end.

Deceitful Lies

CHAPTER 2: Foiled Plans

"Kagome!!" Kagome turned around and was tackled by a small kid by the name of Shippo. He had a busy tail that had thinned out a bit over the past couple of years.

She fell onto her back with an 'umph'.

"Shippo," Kagome said lovingly. The small kitsune has grown almost twelve inches in the passed two years and was now half Kagome's size.

"I'm so happy you're here! I haven't seen you since…" he trailed off as he got off of her to count his fingers. Kagome took this chance to get back to her feet and dust herself off.

"Since yesterday?" she finished for him. Shippo smiled innocently.

"Yeah." Inuyasha muttered, rolling his eyes. "Now we have to get going. Sesshomaru just left Rin's place." Shippo tilted his head.

"He told me to tell you not to follow him and told me to call him if I saw you leaving the house," Shippo said.

"Well you're not going to tell him that we're leaving. You're going to stay here and keep your mouth shut," growled Inuyasha. He had been living with the small youkai ever since they came back to the forest. He found Shippo…irritating.

Shippo frowned at Inuyasha. He still looked up to him, but also found the hanyou quite demanding most of the time.

"Can I come with you?" Shippo asked Kagome. She was about to nod to him, but Inuyasha answered first.

"No." Shippo pouted.

"I wasn't asking you! I was asking Kagome!" he completely ignored Inuyasha as he turned to look at the girl before him. "Can I? Please, Kagome?" Kagome glanced at Inuyasha, who had a determined air about him. He shook his head and Kagome sighed.

"I'm sorry Shippo…I would let you, but we have no idea where we're going. With the way they kept it a secret, it could be very dangerous for you. I don't want you to get hurt." Shippo bowed his head, glaring at Inuyasha. "But I'll tell you what. We're going to go to the ice cream parlor tomorrow, okay?" Shippo brightened considerably and vigorously nodded his head.

"Feh." Inuyasha turned his head away from Kagome.

"It's not like we're doing anything tomorrow," argued Kagome. She knew it was just because Inuyasha didn't want to hang out with Shippo. He saw enough of him as it was. Besides, Kagome knew that they thought of each other as brothers more than anything. Inuyasha, acting as the older brother, didn't want to hang out with Shippo. Shippo, as the younger one, wants to hang out with his 'cool', older sibling and his friends.

Inuyasha snorted.

"Alright, let's get going," Miroku cut in. Sango cleared her throat as she led the way out of the house. Inuyasha and Kagome stayed behind for a moment.

"Don't you dare tell, got it?" Inuyasha warned menacingly. Shippo glared at Inuyasha.

"What makes you think I won't?" Shippo grinned. He liked to play around like this with Inuyasha, but hated it when the tables were turned. Kagome sighed. She could already see where this was going.

"Will you please not tell Sesshomaru or Rin that we're following them? For me?" Inuyasha scowled at her but said nothing. Shippo nodded.

"Anything for you cause you're much nicer than Inuyasha." Kagome smiled sweetly at him and rustled the hair on his head.

"Thank you." Kagome gave a triumphant look at Inuyasha who snorted again. They walked out the door and ran into the car. "Bye Shippo!" He waved after them from the window.

"Alright, let's see where Sesshomaru is going…" Miroku looked down on the radar and pointed in the direction he wanted him to go. "It looks like they're heading into the heart of the city…"

Inuyasha made a turn onto a highway and then made a right off of it. They could see more lights as they drove on. It was then that Kagome realized how late it was. They had been 'studying' for almost three to four hours before Sesshomaru finally left Rin's house. Kagome wondered if they were waiting for a place to open or maybe waiting for the time of their reservation if they had one.

"Almost there…" Miroku said, nearly impatiently. "Make another right here." There were many buildings, some stacked upon others and some way too tall to do that. Many small business stores and restaurants lined each street.

"Over there is a space. Pull over to the side." Inuyasha made a sharp turn and then parked the car dangerously close in between two other cars. He got out of the convertible and reached over to pull Kagome out.

He glanced at Kagome and noticed she was shivering. It wasn't really cold since it was spring, but…

"You okay?" he asked. She nodded, but he took off his black leather jacket and swung it around her shoulders.

"That's funny…" Miroku began, gaining everyone's attention. "It's pointing over there into that car."

"That's his car." They began walking over to it. Inuyasha pushed his face up to the glass and peered inside. "His shoes are in there," said Inuyasha, anger rising with every word. "We'll never be able to find them now! There's way too many shops around here and too little of parking spaces!!" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and glared at a passerby. The poor women yelped and scurried off as fast as her short stumpy legs would carry her.

Kagome and Sango sighed deeply as Miroku stepped up beside Inuyasha.

"There's nothing we can do about it now. But why would Sesshomaru leave his shoes there?" Miroku offered some comfort which didn't help them at all. Kagome rested her head onto Inuyasha's shoulder and he laid his chin onto the top of her hair..

"Well since we're here, how about we do something," Kagome suggested, but suddenly wished she hadn't. Inuyasha and Miroku grinned.

"There's something that we've always wanted to do…" They grinned and Kagome and Sango backed away slowly.

"Wh-what would that b-be?" Kagome stuttered.

"Let's go into a club and dance," answered Miroku. Inuyasha smirked. The girls were about to turn and run, but they had already gripped their arms and started dragging them back.

"We're too young to get into any of these clubs and you know that!" Kagome yelled. "There's no way, even if we wanted to go, that they'd let us in!"

"You're forgetting we can sneak in. Miroku and I know of a back way that'll get us in free of charge!" Inuyasha exclaimed victoriously. Kagome frowned at him.

"I think they'd notice that we're not twenty-one yet!!" Kagome swatted Inuyasha's arm off hers and turned her back to him. "I won't do it. There's no way in hell that you'll ever get me to go into that kind of bar! There's stripping in it, Inuyasha!"

"We'd go there to dance…and come on…we'd just go there for the dancing." Sango raised an eyebrow.

"And tell me, Miroku and Inuyasha…how do you two know about this club? Gone there before, perhaps?" She narrowed her eyes at Miroku when he gulped. "You were dancing with other girls?! Other women stripping!!" She yelled at him and stormed off.

"Sango…it's not like that! Honestly! You know you're the only one for me!!" he tried to explain. She glared at him and sat back into the car. He leaned over her and tried to give her a comforting hug, but to no avail.

"Get away from me!" she cried. Kagome and Inuyasha watched as Miroku tried his best to explain. "Let's just go back."

"Kagome…" Inuyasha said painfully slow. He was watching her.

"Don't worry about it…" she said softly, turning back to Inuyasha.

"Kagome," he said again. "Miroku and I went to this club before we met you two." Sango got out of the car and stood beside Kagome, sighing.

"I swear that it was before I met you Sango!" Miroku sighed.

"I believe you…but why do you want to go back?" she questions quietly, leaning onto him.

"Let's go dancing, please? There's not a better place than this!" Miroku begged. He put on these puppy eyes to add some effect.

"Fine, we'll go…" Kagome said, almost laughing at Miroku.

"That's great!" Inuyasha picked her up into his arms and swung her around. "Let's get going."

"But if we get caught…" she left the threat hanging in the air. The guys walked ahead of Kagome and Sango and went around a semi-tall building that had a sign saying "Club Rock" on it. Kagome and Sango bumped shoulders as they walked in. Surprisingly, the back door was unlocked.

"Hey Inuyasha, Miroku! Is that really you?" came a girlish voice. Stepping into the light of the club, a tall redhead came into view. She glanced at Kagome and Sango and looked them over. "Who are they?" she said with a disgusted look on her face. Sango returned the look, but Kagome just looked at the ground.

"This is Sango and Kagome," Miroku answered, but before he could tell her more, she interrupted him.

"Come on, Inu," she said seductively. "There's a dance contest with our name on the winning trophy." She winked at him and his eyes widened. She dragged him onto the dance floor and started to dance around him like a lunatic.

"Who the hell does she think she is?!" Kagome growled to Miroku. He sighed.

"She's the number one dancer at any club around here. She and Inuyasha went out for awhile, but he eventually broke it off. She thinks that he might go back to her, for some reason." Miroku shrugged. "Want me to handle it? Looks like Inuyasha is going to have trouble this time now that she saw you here. She's jealous, and that is NOT a good thing at all…."

"No, I want to see how he gets himself out of it, this time." Kagome stood on the sidelines, glaring at the girl. Kagome thought he seemed to be flirting with her. Inuyasha met her eyes and gulped as Kagome stomped over to them.

"Who's she? Anything special?" The redhead sneered with a look .

"I'm Inuyasha's girlfriend," Kagome said coolly, standing besides Inuyasha. He now had a horrified, ashamed look on his face. "Been so for two years now." The redhead frowned. Kagome took this time to take a really good look at her and see what Inuyasha saw in her.

She had long, curly, red hair tied back into a bouncy ponytail. She was Inuyasha's height and had long, almost silky-looking legs. Her curves were much more desirable than Kagome's. Her eyes glinted in the light…

There was no way that she could compete with her. Kagome wanted to cry at this revelation, but was able to refrain from doing so.

"Inu! That was a LOT longer than we went out! There's no way in hell that this little hoe can mean more to you than me!!" Kagome gasped. She was about to say something back, but Inuyasha nudged her in the ribs.

"I'll be right back Sam. I'm just going to get some drinks. Kagome, why don't you come and help?" and they left. Kagome glowered at the hanyou when they were out of her earshot. She looks slightly pissed to be kept waiting.

"How come you wouldn't stand up for me! She just called me a hoe!"

"Don't worry about it okay? Look, I've got a few friends I'd like to go catch up and dance with. Why don't you take Sango and go dance a bit?" Inuyasha suggested. Kagome winced. "I'd also like to have my jacket back. It's not cold any more anymore, and I kinda wanted to wear it here."

"Feel like old times, doesn't it? When you didn't have a girlfriend." Kagome grimaced when he nodded, but he didn't notice. She wasn't even sure he was paying attention because his eyes were with this group of guys and slutty-looking girls. She threw the jacket back at him, but he caught it with ease.

"Thanks Kagome. I knew you'd understand."

She wanted to slap him right then and there and walk off, but she didn't what to see Sam's satisfied smirk. She was still watching them with a deadly glare.

"Fine…Miroku going with you?" Kagome asked, hiding her angry quite well. She glanced over at Sango and Miroku…they were still standing together, even if they were surrounded by a group of jealous girls and a few interested guys. He had his arm around her shoulders and was holding her close to him.

'At least someone is going to be happy tonight. What they have is true love, even though they both have their kinks to work out. At least he didn't abandon her…'

Kagome tuned back around, but Inuyasha was gone. He was in the middle of a group of guys telling some sort of story. Kagome closed her eyes and sighed. She had a bad feeling this wasn't going to turn out okay.

"Kagome! Come on over here and meet my old gang," Miroku called over to her, sensing her mood. Kagome quietly went over to them and stood behind Miroku and Sango. Kagome must have looked pitiful because some of the males gave her a wink.

"Hi," Kagome said shyly and miserably. One of the men came up to her. He had wild black hair and a white smile. He had on a black biker's jacket with a white skull on the back. A snake was crawling through the skull and added a nice touch to it.

"Would you like to dance, babe?" he grinned at her and Kagome glanced at her friends. Miroku nodded encouragingly, though Sango looked appalled at him calling her friend 'babe'.

"Sure…" Kagome answered slowly as he grabbed her hand and towed her out onto the dancing floor. She looked around curiously as they started to dance. There was a live band called the "Samurai's" on the broad stage. Some girls with wild hair were trying to reach up and touch them, but they backed away so they were out of reach.

Sango and Kagome had been right. There WAS stripping. Kagome turned away and the ugly site and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see these women at the bar on the other side of the club dancing with poles. It was downright nasty!

Kagome shuddered. How could anyone like going here?

"Hey, you're pretty good…Kagome, right?" she looked up at the guy and nodded, snapping out of her nightmarish daze. "My name is Tog. Actually my real name is Kyle, but everyone calls me Tog."

"Nice…to meet you…Tog…" she felt weird saying that, but smiled nonetheless.

"Hey, you heard of the dance competition tonight, right?" Kagome nodded. "Would you like to be my partner? You're rather good…I'd say you'd be a great match for Sam—"

"I…" she glimpsed over at Inuyasha…he was with Sam and dancing. There was no way he'd ask her to dance…not surrounded by all though pretty girls. "I'd love to."

"Cool," he said, obviously excited. "It should start any minute." Kagome forced another smile onto her face.

"Can you excuse me for a moment?" and she left before he even had a chance to answer her. Sango met her halfway.

"Miroku asked me to dance in the competition with him. He turned down all the other girls just to be with me!" Sango was jazzed…

"Well I wish I had the same luck. Inuyasha doesn't even want to be seen with me." Kagome sighed. "I'm dancing with 'Tog' over there in the competition. Inuyasha wouldn't ask me anyway, not with Sam hanging onto him like that…" Sango put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"I'm sure that's not it at all…Sam's pretty, but she's nothing compared to you. She looks like a real bitch," Sango said unconvincingly (except for eh bitch part).

"Look at Inuyasha's choice before me? Kikyo…maybe he thinks I'm slowing him down or something…" Kagome's eyes started to get a little puffy. Sango didn't know what else to say.

"Why don't you go dance with Tog then and show him how much better you are than that girl. I'm sure once he sees you, he'll regret dancing with her!" Kagome nodded, but didn't think it was true…Sam was like a model and Kagome was…plain looking compared to her. She began to wonder why Inuyasha broke up with her.

Tog walked over to Kagome.

"They're starting. Come on," and she let him lead her over to the dance floor as a short, but very skinny woman around her mid-twenties went up onto the stage, stealing the microphone for a moment from the band. She cleared her throat to gain everyone's attention.

"Are you ready?!?!" She screeched into the microphone. Cheers of 'yeah!' filled the place. "Then let's get today's competition started!!! I will be judging. Only rule is no sabotaging other's moves. If I see that then you and your partner will be disqualified. If I tap your shoulder, then get off the floor!" she gave the mic back to the leader singer and walked off.

The band started playing even wilder music than before. Kagome was lost within the confusion. She decided to do what did best: dance.

Within minutes, half of the couples were already seated on the sidelines, looking longingly up at those that were left. The lights started to flash madly and in many different colors. Kagome could only the outlines of all the people, but a certain outline with ears seemed to stick out.

Inuyasha was dancing with Sam. At least she was keeping it clean…for now. Now only five couples remained, then four, three, and then two. Inuyasha was now watching Kagome and Tog. He stared jealously at them.

The judge had by now found another microphone and was announcing on it.

"With only two couples left, the rivalry is rising. Each is dancing with such passion…who will win?" That was when Sam started to dance a little dirty…Sam and Tog… (AN: what's sad is that they dance like this at ALL the high schools around here -_-;;)

"What are you doing??" Kagome screamed as he pulled her close and started rubbing against her. "Get off of me!!" Her cries were drowned out by everyone, including the judge…that is, everyone except a certain hanyou…

"Don't you like me, baby? We can go back to my place after we win this contest and get a little down and dirty…" he laughed and she struggled to get away.

"Let go of me!!" She wanted to cry out for Inuyasha, but for some reason she wouldn't…she didn't like thinking that she needed him when he was dancing the same way with that girl…Kagome was crying by now.

Sango and Miroku were watching them from the sidelines. They looked at Kagome worriedly, wondering if they should go and help her. Just as they were about to, someone else stepped in.

"Get off her, asshole!" came a voice from behind Kagome. She turned her head to find Inuyasha behind her. Suddenly Tog was off of her and on the ground being pummeled by the hanyou. The music stopped as even the band watched the fight. Tog tried to get Inuyasha off of him, but gained no ground in this fight. Miroku and Sango had to pull him off.

"Inu…" Sam said softly to herself. Kagome heard it though. "He never would have done that for me…"

Kagome was too terrified by the site to say anything.

"That's enough!!" called the judge. "Stop it right now! Both of you are disqualified!" She got in between them, and, surprisingly, Inuyasha let her.

"I don't ever want to see you within fifty feet of her again! If I do, I swear you won't live to regret it!" growled Inuyasha threateningly. For a moment, Kagome could have sworn his eyes flashed red…

Tog backed away from him with wide eyes as if he had just seen a monster. Inuyasha turned to Kagome and she stared at him.

"Kagome…I—" he was about to say more, but Kagome walked out of the club without a word to anyone. Sango flew out of the club with her, leaving Miroku with Inuyasha.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

AN: Oy…Inuyasha just dug himself deeper into his grave…but Kagome's not helping the matter. There will be NO rape or sex scenes, I SWEAR. So if you were okay with this chapter, then you'll be okay with the rest of the fic.

About where Sesshomaru and Rin met, that should come next chapter, so don't worry. Rin will tell all…^^;; and I'd say you're going to be a little surprised.

REVIEW please!! I really would like to know what you think! Critiques are welcomed, and flames with reasons to why you're flaming me or my fic are ok as well. Just plain "This sucks!" is kinda stupid and will be ignored.

For those who want to be emailed with the next chapter, just leave your email if you haven't told me already. Also, for those who don't want to be emailed anymore, just tell me.
