"Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene, just give me an hour and then, Well, I'll be as high as the ivory tower. That you're living in. Come on now. Chorus!"

They sang loudly, "Cause I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases by blues away. And I'll be okay. And I'm not big on social graces think I'll slip on down to Oasis, oh I've friends in low places. Cause I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases by blues away. And I'll be okay. And I'm not big on social graces think I'll slip on down to Oasis, oh I've friends in low places. .

And I'll be okay. And I'm not big on social graces think I'll slip on down to Oasis, oh I've friends in low places. As they sang this Inuyasha couldn't help but notice Sesshomaru, nuzzling on Kagome's neck, and Miroku wrapping his arms around her waist. He didn't know the burning feeling coming inside him was jealousy. Then he went up to the stage and looked at Kagome as if she was doing something that would get her killed. Yuki entered the room, and his father jumped off the stage and ran to her.

Panting he held her in his arms, and whispered loving words into her ear, making her smile, and blush. Sango and Miroku made eye contact, and he let go of Kagome, and went to her, and when he touched where their ring had been he was sober, and looked back at Inuyasha smiling as he left, with Sango. "Hey Miroku do you think it'll work?" Sango asked laughing at how they had tricked the two. "Hai, Sango. But all the alcohol hurt my head, can we go home now, instead of to school?" He asked as if he needed permission. Even though he was Youkai it would still hurt after he drank so much. Sango nodded, and they walked home, holding each other close. Rin walked up and kissed Sesshomaru on his neck, and Sesshomaru shivered remembering what had happened last time. He grabbed the mike and sang a song that made rin blush no matter how many times he sang it. She had been a country girl ever since she been with Sesshomaru. He seemed to like the western songs, and this on he sang when he wanted to get some later that night.

"Yea, she's my lady luck, hey I'm her wild card man. Together we're building up a real hot hand. We live out in the country; she's my little queen of the south. Yea were two of a kind working on a full house. She wakes me every mornin' with a smile and a kiss. Her strong country lovin is hard to resist. She's my easy lovin woman, I'm her hard working man, no doubt. Yea, were two of a kind working on a full house. Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine, and her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans. She loves me tender when the goin gets tough; sometimes we fight just so we can make up. Lord I need that little woman, like the crops need rain, she's my honeycomb, and I'm her sugarcane. We really fit together if you know what I'm talking about. Yea were two of a kind working on a full house. This time I found a keeper, I made up my mind. Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine. The sky's the limit no hill is too steep. We're playing for keeps so draw the curtain honey turn the lights down low. We'll find some country music, on the radio. I'm yours; your mine Hey that's what it's all about. Yea were two of a kind working on a full house. Lordly mama we'll be two of a kind working on a full house... Yee ha!" He yelled as Rin kissed him on the lips at the end.

Inuyasha felt lonely at that moment, until Kagome came and knelt in front of him. When his brother stated singing he gave up, and sat down sulking. " Hey master, Inuyasha Sama, Your not mad are you? I... I never meant to disobey you and I've had plenty of time to sober up." She got on her hands and knees, and bowed. Then looking up at him with those eyes asked what she was to do. He traced her face with his claws. "Your to go to my room, and wait there until I return to you. Understand." He said to her smiling. She was actually aware of what happened and sorry for it. But why? He wondered. She bowed once more and left his side. He looked up at his brother who now became sober. He walked to the stage one more time. PUNCH!!!!!! "That was for touching Kagome! You sick demented bastard!" Sesshomaru had a cut on his face near his eye, as blood ran down it, and he smiled at his brother, while turning to Kikyo. Inuyasha felt his stomach sinking for his brother was telling him that is was Kikyo's idea! He ran towards her, and she ran the other way. "Kikyo... it really was your idea. ChiChai!" Inuyasha's father came into the room for father of course, and not his name called him. "Nani? Kindachi did you call me for nothing?" "Iie father. I need you to shie Kikyo. She bribed Sesshomaru to flirt and seduce my concubine. She must shie." "Hai..." His father said softly. " Anatatachi will be killed in the morning at dawn, but until then she is fine. Kudani?" " Hai father." Inuyasha said with frustration.

Later that night Kikyo brought them their dinner. Kagome had done more of Inuyasha's homework, and she showed much sadness, that made him tell her to stop and just wait for dinner. When it arrived he ate it with her, for the first time. "Master Inuyasha? Might I be aloud to speak freely?" She asked with fear in her tone. He said nothing. She looked down at their tray, and continued to eat. "Nani for?" He asked. She looked at him from across the table. "I was wanting to... well apologize for the incident in the big room today." His eyebrow twitched. " Anatawatashi may, but not about that incident. I would like to know about your life before you came here concubine, and of your name." Kagome turned her eyes from him along with her face. She looked to the side of the room. "Does it hurt you to talk about it?" He asked softness on his face. She closed her eyes trying to hold back her tears. "Hai Master Inuyasha Sama. It does. But if you wish for me to..." He put two fingers to her lips to hush her. "If it hurts then tell me when you are ready concubine. Anyways... Is there anything you want to talk about?" He asked sitting back in his spot for he had to lean over to hush her. She blushed. "Who was the servant who sent in our food if you don't mind me asking." He coughed. "Naze?"
"Why? Because I had a sister by the name of Kikyo who died, and I haven't seen her since, and she loved you dearly my lord." His eyes opened wide. Could that be the Kikyo I'm getting killed? But she said her sister died. Perhaps... wait when we found her she looked of clay! It is her sister! He realized after working it out in his head. "Inuyasha sama? Master? Are you alright?" Kagome asked. "She is indeed dead then... I see. Perhaps I will ask that servant her name, but I am troubled to say that she is going to be killed at dawn." Kagome gasped. "Do not be frightened... it is not as though you are going to be killed." He said as if it were a possibility. She looked in fear at the door. She then was sad once again. She sipped the juices of her miso soup, and went for her tea. He smiled at her. " Do you not know the customs yet? Baka! You sip tea once the other is done eating, and it is your finishing desert!" He made himself sound cold and cruel, she flinched in fear, and put her hands in her lap. The dress she was provided was from Rin. It had been too small for her, so Rin gave it to Kagome as a gift. "Where did you get that dress? I don't remember giving you anything but your uniform back. Did Rin give that to you?" He asked her with inspection. She nodded. "Hai master Inuyasha sama." "Just call me master Inuyasha. I hate the sama, only san if you have to." She looked down, hardly nodding. He picked up his tea, and Kagome felt weak at the thought of even going near it. He set his back down and went to her left side, grabbed her tea, and shoved it in her face. "You wanted it before did you not? Or are you wasting my time. I pray for you if you are." She brought her hands to the tea touching his, and as his eyes grew shocked she brought them back down as quickly as she had brought herself to look at him. He grabbed her hands from her lap and made her hold the tea putting his over hers to help her keep hold of it. "There you baka. (Sigh) Huh?" She had rested her head on his shoulder. " My name is Kagome. And what is a concubine supposed to do? Onegai tell me master Inuyasha." He blushed, but didn't complain about her head on his shoulder. At least she wasn't flirting with his cousin, or brother like she was. He rested his head upon hers and nodded. "A concubine Kagome is a slave that only does what their master tells them to do, and is only their bedmate. Rin is Sesshomaru's concubine, but they love each other, and Rin is hoping he will take her for a mate, like my cousin Miroku did." Kagome looked a little Confused. "I thought Miroku was human, and Sesshomaru is a youkai, and only Youkai are masters. Are you telling me Miroku is a demon?" She asked shocked.
"Hai Kagome. He is a youkai. But I'm not." He said shadows coming over his face. "I'm only half. I'm a hanyou." Kagome cupped his face in her palm, and wiped away a tear with her thumb. "Does that matter?" She asked. He felt strange inside. He just wanted to kiss her and make love to her there on the floor, or wrap her in his arms caress her and kiss her until she screamed out his name. He looked down at her confusion and shock on his face. She was smiling, and looking at him as if it was the same thing.

"You don't think I'm weaker, or lower?" He asked to see what she meant. She brushed his face with the back of her hand still smiling and looking up at him. "Watashi wa think Anatawatashi are stronger then both combined, for that's what you are. Doojine are strong because they believe in love, and inner strength. Youkai are strong because they believe in protecting, and keeping things safe. When you put that together no matter what you are if you have both of that you're invincible. Even if you truly die, your soul will be reincarnated as something stronger, and that means your forever living. Does it not Master Inuyasha san?" She said setting her hand back into her lap. He stared at her with peace, and understanding. He moved in closer, and put a hand behind her neck. He wrapped his arm around her back and kissed her as they moved onto the floor. She was blushing bright red, but he didn't care. It felt so right to kiss her. He stopped the kiss to look down at his concubine. Now that she knew what her job was; what was he going to do with her? He wondered ponderously in his head.

She stared in to those golden eyes. And she was reminded of her father. His could look that way sometimes, but her father of course was the miko part of her. He had been a demon and turned pure by her mother, and became a human. But he kept those beautiful golden eyes. Kagome loved her father's eyes so soothing and loving. She ran her fingers through his silver hair. He was so handsome. As she continued to run them through his hair she accidentally brushed his ears. He didn't stir. She rubbed the insides of them, and he looked at her, with innocent desirable needing eyes. He kissed her pushing her back on the floor, and his arms wrapped around her now, and holding her tightly close. "Inuyasha san...Master. Do you want me to be your concubine?" He lay back on her chest. "Hai Kagome." He moved off her avoiding hurting her body, and held out his clawed hand. "To bed?" He asked with a sighing to his voice. She grabbed his hand as he helped her up. Then Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by her ankles and was holding her in his arms, with her hands on his neck in fear he might drop her. He walked up the ladder, and his Kimono was warm and soft against her like a blanket.

When he set her on the bed he turned back to the ladder, and went back down returning with a green kimono such as his. He threw it to the side, and crept over to Kagome. She was in fear of him hitting her, or raping her. But that was not his intentions. He lay down beside her, and she settled down looking at him in the eyes. He brushed her face with his hand. "Kagome, right now I want to tell you I love you but I know nothing about you, or of you're family." She smiled. "Tell me then, and I know nothing of you're family, except you like to have a good time." She said jokingly. He laughed. "Right..." He kissed her and moved her dress down from her neck to her waist. He pulled her close still invoking the kiss. Kagome clenched his Kimono tight with a sense of need. He broke the kiss with her leaning up as if not expecting it to end. "I... Gomenasai." Kagome apologized. He traced her face with his claws. Kissing her, her body pressing against his.
