You Want Me to WHAT?
Disclaimer: Inuyasha's not mine.
lostdreams: Sorceress_destiny informed me on a little detail that probably should be clarified. For the sake of this fic, Shippo is a little over 21. He's older than both Inuyasha and Kagome. Sorry if I didn't make that clear before. ^_^ Anywho..on with chapter four: The Aftermath..
-@--@-
Kagome took the stairs two at a time until she reached her apartment on the 4th floor of the 6 story brick building.
Wow, what a night! What a guy! Kagome was almost giddy as she walked inside, locking the door behind her. Her apartment was small, only a kitchen, living room and a bathroom. It was more like a loft than an apartment really. She slept on a hide-a-bed couch. Other than the couch she had a few mismatched chairs and a desk. Koga paid for the rent to keep her there, but she had to provide her own furniture. She did have a small TV and a phone, but that was it for appliances. She didn't even own a microwave.
Flopping back on her bed she let the events from the night course through her head. Nothing could ruin her mood, nothing that is, except for the blinking red light on her answering machine. Getting up slowly she cautiously approached the machine as if it was going to attack her.
"You have 4 new messages," the electronic voice informed her.
*BEEP*
"Kagome? It's Koga." Kagome slumped down in a chair.
Oh here we go..
"I don't know where you are babe, but call me." Kagome sighed as the message ended.
*BEEP*
"Kagome? Where the hell are you? I called the club and they said you left right after your performance. So where the fuck are you? Call me when you get back!" Koga's voice was strained as though holding back the rage he was feeling at that moment.
*BEEP*
"Kagome! You crazy virgin!" Kagome smiled at Rei's nickname for her. She was the only dancer in the club who was still a virgin. Rei hadn't believed her when she first mentioned it.
*#*#Flashback#*#*
All the girls had gone out for coffee after the club shut down. They had been sitting around the table talking about their worst sex stories. (It's a girl thing..^_^)
"And then he told me that next time, he'd like to invite his sister to join in!" Rei's story got a series of 'Oh my Gods' and 'No ways'. Kagome just laughed. Rei had told her that story the day after it happened.
"So what about you Kagome? You've gotta have some good ones!" Ryoko had pressed. Every looked at her expectantly, especially Rei.
"Yea!" Rei exclaimed. "You've never told me anything about your love life!" Kagome blushed fiercely.
"Well, um..that'sbecauseIdon'thaveany," she muttered quietly. It was true. Koga was slowly trying to make his management position something more, making it harder and harder for her to go out. Rei's eyes widened as she was the only one who understood her rush of words.
"You don't mean to tell me that you're still a virgin do you?!?!" Reiana's voice was full of disbelief. The other girls all looked at her in shock.
"Yea, I am," Kagome's face was the most brilliant shade of red.
"Not even with Koga?" one of the girls had pressed.
"Gods no! Never Koga! Never!" Kagome exclaimed. The other girls looked at her curiously. Most of them considered Koga a catch, but Rei nodded in agreement. She knew that Koga had, on occasion hit Kagome and she all but feared him.
"Whatever...crazy virgin!" Rei said with a grin. The name had stuck.
*#*#End Flashback#*#*
Kagome shook the memory from her head. She'd been so lost in thought she'd missed the rest of Rei's message. Rewinding it she replayed the message again.
*BEEP*
"Kagome! You crazy virgin! Koga called me looking for you! I told him you were here with me, but you had stepped out for a moment, and that we were going out with later so that's why you wouldn't be home. I don't know if he bought it. Call me when you get back hon!"
Oh great. At least Rei was smart enough to get him off my trail for now. Kagome thought, silently thank Rei for probably saving her life. One more message to go.
*BEEP*
"KAGOME! WHERE IN THE SEVEN HELLS ARE YOU? ANSWER THIS PHONE RIGHT NOW BITCH! YOU BETTER FUCKING HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE FOR THIS YOU STUPID WHORE! I SHOULD BEAT YOU SILLY YOU DAMN WENCH! YOU BETTER FUCKING CALL ME THE SECOND YOU GET HOME IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!" *BANG* Koga had slammed the phone down.
Kagome's mouth went dry. She knew Koga would be mad that she wasn't at his beckon call, but he sounded angrier now than the time she had actually run away from him. Shaking slightly, Kagome *almost* began to regret ever seeing Inuyasha.
Why does my life have to be so fucking complicated? Kagome pulled her knees to her chest and tried hard not to cry. A incessant knocking at her door pulled Kagome sharply out of her misery. Gods! Please don't let that be Koga! She prayed silently as she tiptoed to the door.
"Kagome? Are you home? It's Rei! Open up!" Relief spread through Kagome's entire body as she quickly opened the door.
"Oh Rei! I'm so glad it's you! Is Koga really that mad at me?" she asked quietly.
"Oh, he's pissed darling, but don't worry, I'm almost positive he bought my story."
"I'm not so sure," Kagome grimaced. She replayed Koga's last message for her. Reiana's face paled visibly.
"Shit! He really was mad! Where have you been all this time? Out with that guy?"
"Yea," Kagome admitted sheepishly. Rei smiled instantly and turned girly on her.
"Okay. Details. Tell me you're not a virgin anymore." Rei said with an impish grin on her face.
"Rei!" Kagome blushed fiercely. "I am still a virgin, thank you very much!" she said indignantly.
"Whatever, I wouldn't have been.." Rei trailed off. She had a wicked grin on her face. "Okay then so what did you do?"
"Nothing really. We just went out for coffee and talked. Then he drove me home," Kagome said, as she prepared to take a shower.
"Aww! So are you glad you took a chance? He's a good one night stand, or in your case, a one night conversation," Rei acknowledged. Kagome froze for a moment. Rei noticed. Rei got up and crossed the room until she stood right in front of Kagome. "You aren't going too see him again are you?"
"Umm.." Kagome faltered.
"Kagome! Do you have a death wish?!" Rei asked incredulously.
"Of course not!" Kagome exclaimed. "But, oh Rei," She sank miserably into a chair. "He's like no one else I've ever met. He's nice and kind and funny.."
"Kagome stop! Listen to yourself!" Rei grabbed her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "I know you seem to like this guy but think about you're health!" Rei let go and slumped to her knees. "I don't want to lose you! You're my best friend." Kagome's face sobered considerably with these words.
"Then help me," she said quietly.
"What?!" Rei looked stunned.
"I'm serious Rei. I'm not going to give up on this guy just like that. I'm not letting Koga scare me into not seeing him again." Rei nodded slowly. As crazy as she believed Kagome was at this moment, she couldn't help feeling proud of her.
"Koga wouldn't scare you, he would maim you," Rei said with a weak grin. It was a bad joke and they both knew it. "You know I'm on your side Kagome. You didn't even have to ask. I'll do whatever you need me too." Kagome smiled and gave Rei a huge hug.
"Oh thank you!" Kagome exclaimed. "Shit! I better get in the shower and then call Koga!"
"Why shower first?" Rei asked puzzled.
"Because ten to one Koga will want to come over. And since he's a wolf demon he'll be able to smell Inuyasha on me," Kagome explained, as she turned the shower on.
"Oh, right. Of course," Rei said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You want me to hang around until he gets here?"
"No, that's okay." Kagome answered looking a little nervous. Personally she would have liked Rei to stay, but if Koga was as mad as he had sounded on the phone, Kagome didn't want Rei getting hurt as well. "You're story was believable. I'll just stick to that."
"You're sure?" Rei asked.
"Positive. I'll be fine." Kagome kept the smile plastered on her face until Rei left. It was only then that the smile fell and the dread of what was to come set in.
-@--@-
He awoke late the next morning. His head was still spinning about the night before. Inuyasha didn't remember driving back to school. He didn't remember getting to his room. He didn't remember getting into bed. All he could remember was praying she wasn't a dream. She had been too good to be true, and aside from their social differences they actually had a lot in common. Same taste in music, movies and whatnot.
Was she real? The question plagued him. He fought the urge to call the number he held in his hand right then and there.
"Hey Inuyasha? You home yet?" Miroku was knocking at his door. Grudgingly Inuyasha got up and opened the door. Miroku was looking at him with a devilish grin on his face. "So, have fun last night?" Inuyasha gave a little groan. How did he know this was coming? He tried shutting the door in Miroku's face, but only managed to shut it on his foot. "Ah ah ah Inuyasha. You do not ditch me and then expect me not to ask. So who was she?"
"Who said anything about a girl?" Inuyasha growled, flopping down on his couch.
"Oh come on! How dumb do you think I am? We were at a strip club for Gods sake. All of a sudden I get this text from you saying you were heading out somewhere and not to worry about you. So which one was it?" Okay, so Miroku was better than Inuyasha had thought, but then again you would have had to been a total moron not to realize he had hooked up with someone. Which is probably why Shippo wasn't at his door too. It wasn't that Inuyasha didn't like Shippo, it was just sometimes the guy was not the brightest crayon in the box.
"You remember 'Mistress Jewel?" Inuyasha asked, fully enjoying the astonished look on Miroku's face. "Well her real name's Kagome and she's a very interesting person."
"You went out with HER?" Miroku's expression was priceless. He was clearly impressed. Out of their small clique, Miroku was always the ladies man, but Inuyasha had just out done him in one night.
"Yea, she's great." Inuyasha said with a smile.
"YOU HAD SEX WITH HER?" Miroku asked, misinterpreting his comment.
*WHAM*
"NO! PERVERT!" Inuyasha growled, smacking Miroku hard across the back of the head.
"Ow, jeez, Yasha, I just asked.." Miroku muttered as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well ya should have thought about the consequences before you opened your mouth." Inuyasha said smugly. His right eyebrow was still twitching slightly.
"So are you going to see her again?" Miroku asked, flopping down on the couch next to Inuyasha.
"Yea.."
"Your dad won't like her. Sesshomaru will like her less." Miroku stated the obvious. Inuyasha was already well aware of how disappointed his father would be if he knew his son's current interest was a stripper.
"Mom will like her." Inuyasha said indifferently. He got along great with his mom. Though his dad treated him like the black sheep, him mom was supporting Inuyasha.
"Yea, but your mom likes everyone. I don't think she has a single enemy."
"Nope." A moment of silence lapsed between the two friends.
"You happy?"
"Yep."
"Good." Miroku stood up. "I'll see you later."
"Where are you going?"
"To tell everyone what you did last night. This is so great..AAAAHHHH!!!" No one got to find out why this was 'so great', because Miroku was too busy running for his life, up and down the halls, trying to stay out of Inuyasha's reach.
