"Follow me," Kagome blushed slightly and shyly began to lead Inuyasha out of the alley. Taking him back around to the front of the club Kagome stopped. "Here you are. You're friends are probably waiting for you." Kagome said with a somewhat sad smile. It didn't go unnoticed.
"Probably," he murmured lightly. Yes Shippo and Miroku were probably both still in there wondering what the hell he was doing. Personally he liked the thought of spending more time with Kagome. "But this wouldn't be the first time I've ditched them for something better," he finished with a smile. Kagome almost fell over. He would rather spend more time with her, than go back to his friends?
This guy is too good to be true! Kagome's mind raced.
"So do you want to go get coffee or something?" she asked timidly. Please let him say yes! She was throwing caution into the wind and she knew it. Oh if Koga could see her now. Kagome suppressed a shudder and fixated her gaze on the man in front of her.
"Sounds great," he answered with a smile. Kagome's knees went weak. "Let's go." He offered her his arm.
Oh! This is just like in the movies! Kagome's thought happily. "Where to?" she asked, slinking her arm through his.
"Well, I know this great place on 13th Street. Care to walk?"
"Sure," Kagome nodded and smiled, but her mind was reeling. That's in the ritzy part of town. She gave Inuyasha another once over out of the corner of her eye. He was wearing black dress pants and a long, sleeve, maroon button down shirt. Well Rei sure wasn't joking..this guy really is a piece of work. Kagome sighed lightly. If only I had met him before Koga, she thought wistfully. Oh well..I can at least pretend he's mine, even if it's just for the night.
"So..how long have you been dancing?" Inuyasha asked, trying to break the silence. Here he was going to have coffee with a stripper he hardly knew. What the hell am I doing? he thought as he kept stealing glances at the girl on his arm. She beautiful, that's no lie, and she has a great personality, but dad and Sess would kill me if they knew.
"A while.." she answered vaguely. She already understood that her status was way beneath his, she just wasn't ready to admit that yet.
"You're very good."
"Thank you." They both lapsed into silence. Kagome was busy thinking about what Koga would do to her if he found out about this, while Inuyasha was thinking along the same lines, except with his father and brother. Neither seemed to mind that they weren't speaking at the moment. They both understood the enormous differences between their two worlds, but for the time being neither cared. They continued walking, just basking in each other's company.

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Kagome instantly felt out of place. This was clearly where the rich kids spent their free time, and even though it was almost one in the morning, there were still a few people there. A couple people waved at Inuyasha as he pulled her to a table in the back.
"This is one of my favorite places! My friends and I come here all the time." Inuyasha told her as they sat down. Kagome nodded weakly. The menu was looking really expensive and she only had five dollars to her name. It wasn't like she didn't make good money dancing, it was just that Koga kept most of it as a manager's fee, well that, and it was a way to keep her submissive to him. If she was broke, how would she run away?
"Order anything you want. My treat," Inuyasha said, as if sensing her distress. Kagome looked surprised for a moment before offering a grateful smile.
"So what's your favorite?" she asked. In all actuality, Kagome had only had strait black coffee, and the only choices were regular or decaf. She had a vague idea bout all these different types of 'lattes' and 'cappuccinos', but had never tried them. Inuyasha seemed to understand the deeper meaning of her question.
"Well I usually get a mocha latte, but I know Sango really likes the pumpkin chie, so that's what I would recommend." Kagome smiled.
"Sounds good." He's so sweet and considerate, why is my life so complicated?!?! Kagome though miserably. Snap out of it girl, it's not like you really would stand a chance with him anyway. He's just being nice; there's no way a rich guy like him would ever go for a piece of trash like you. Kagome fought the thought from her mind. She knew it was probably true, but she didn't want to deal with it right now.
"So..what do you do?" she asked, hoping that conversation would keep her mind off her own dismal thoughts.
"I'm in school right now. At Sengoku Jidai University."
"Wow!" Sengoku Jidai?!? That's the most prestigious and expensive university in the world!! Kagome had underestimated him. She had guessed he was rich, but not filthy rich. Damn! "What are you studying?" she questioned further.
"Law," he answered quietly.
"That's so interesting! I think it would be so much fun to be a lawyer!" Kagome gushed. She wasn't just saying that either. She watched Law and Order religiously. That Jack McCoy was an awesome prosecutor.
"Yeah..great fun.." Inuyasha sounded less than thrilled. Kagome picked up on it instantly.
"You don't want to be a lawyer do ya?" she asked gently. Inuyasha looked uncomfortable.
"It's not that..I just don't want to be the kind of lawyer my father is pushing for.." he mumbled quietly. What am I doing? She doesn't need to know this. Kagome noticed that he was fidgeting, clearly saying he didn't want to talk about it. She placed a tender hand over his.
"It's okay.." A tortured silence befell them and Kagome thought desperately for a way to end it.
"So..um..how 'bout them Mets?" she tossed. Inuyasha looked at her for second before he busted up laughing. After that the two fell into easy conversation, laughing and talking the rest of the night away.
-@--@-
Inuyasha looked at the girl in front of him. She's so easy to talk to. I feel like I've known her forever. He had become enchanted by Kagome. She was beautiful to say the least, but her personality made her that much more appealing. He never believed in love at first sight, but being with Kagome made him more apt to believe.
"So..tell me..how does a girl like you manage to stay single? Have rough manager that chases away all the guys?" he teased. He noticed immediately that his question made Kagome clam up. She even stiffened her posture. What did I say? She doesn't have a boyfriend does she? Why would she come out with me if she did? he mentally barraged himself.
Why did he say that? He couldn't know about Koga! Oh Inuyasha, if I thought I could get away I would, just to be with you! Kagome's mind raced. She racked her brain for a witty response. Willing herself to slacken, Kagome reclined in her chair.
"I guess I just haven't found a guy worth my time.." she said coyly. Inuyasha perked up considerably after hear that.
I'd make it worth you're time to be with me. Screw my dad and brother. Inuyasha thought rebelliously.
Why do I keep leading him on like this? Sure he's gorgeous and amazing but Koga will kill me! Literally! Kagome's mind panicked.
Too late dearie, your heart's already gone. A tiny voice in the back of Kagome's brain piped up. The worst part about that stupid voice was Kagome couldn't argue with it.
It's right. He already has my heart. Gods! How in the seven hells to I get myself into these things?
"Ready to go?" Inuyasha interrupted Kagome's thoughts. She looked outside and was shocked to see the sun was coming up.
"We talked all night!" she exclaimed. I hope Koga didn't try to call.
"Yea we did." The exited the shop to the empty sidewalks. It was a bit too early for everyone else. The city seemed almost quiet, like they were the only two left. "My car's nearby in the campus lot, how about I give you a ride home?"
"That would be wonderful!" What the hey..I've already been with him this long. She blushed when Inuyasha took her hand as they walked toward the campus. It was only a block, which probably explained why Inuyasha said he and his friends spent so much time in that coffee shop. Inuyasha stopped in front of a private garage and pulled open the door. Inside, Kagome saw the most beautiful silver car.
"1967 Shelby Gt, fully loaded, excellent system.." Inuyasha bragged about the car, looking at Kagome for approval.
"It's beautiful!" she breathed. She had to change her impression yet again. Not only was he filthy rich, he was filthy stinkin rich!
"Get in." Inuyasha opened the door for her. She examined the car's all black interior. Real leather seats, black lights by the feet, he really went all out on his car.
This car costs more than my entire apartment building! she thought in awe. She was almost embarrassed to direct Inuyasha toward her home. It was such a dump and it was in a bad neighborhood. Inuyasha either didn't notice or didn't care because he made no comment about either.
"Well this is my stop.." she said with a weak smile. She really didn't want to leave him. Inuyasha surprised her further by getting out, opening her door and escorting her to her building. Why does he have to be such a great guy? Why couldn't he be a total asshole? Then I wouldn't be in this mess. She had been looking down at her feet, not meeting his eyes. Shivers ran down her spine as slid a finger under her chin and lifted her gaze to meet his own.
"Good night," he murmured.
"It's good morning actually," Kagome said with a giggle. Inuyasha chuckled. "Well thanks for everything. I had a good time," she said lightly.
"Me too." Inuyasha's gaze was becoming more than Kagome could bear. She found herself looking at all his facial features before becoming fascinated by his lips. Smiling slightly, Inuyasha bent his head and brushed his lips against hers. Kagome was shocked by the action and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Am I worth your time?" he whispered. All the consequences that had plagued her mind that night were gone. For this one moment the only two people in the world were her and Inuyasha.
"Yes," she answered breathlessly. This was too just too perfect. Inuyasha grinned broadly. She gave him her phone number. "I'm off Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays," she told him, still in a daze.
"I'll see you again then, real soon." Inuyasha backed away also in a daze. Kagome nodded, too happy to speak. "Well bye then..oof!" Inuyasha had backed into the corner of his car. Grinning stupidly he got in and drove away. Kagome stood locked in one spot for another moment before heading inside.
Screw Koga! her mind thought blatantly. She was in love!
