Chapter 2: Asking Again
"Ex-husband," Inuyasha said, looking not at Raya but directly into Kagome's eyes. "My ex-wife and I have been divorced for two years."
He had actually come here and suggested she pretend they were "involved." Kagome made herself look steadily back at him while she said,
"Raya and I are very old friends."
"Very," Raya said. "You ok, Kagome?"
She couldn't help smiling—until she realized that Inuyasha did, indeed, appear predatory.
"I'm fine," she murmured. The man she'd once thought she loved had narrowed his gold eyes to slits and fastened his attention on Raya.
"Do you make a habit of letting yourself in here?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome bristled but before she could respond, Raya advanced and assumed the stance of a man ready to fight.
"You're Kikyo's husband," Raya said, his voice flat and menacing.
"Ex-husband," Inuyasha said. He braced his feet apart. "I thought I already told you that."
"The guy who—."
"Raya!" Kagome cut him off. "There's nothing you need to be worried about here."
All she needed was to have Raya start to spill all the intimate details that Kikyo had shared about her marriage. Raya hooked a thumb in Kagome's direction.
"This lady is a very dear friend of mine. She doesn't look happy and I've got a hunch it's more than some punk forger that's making her that way."
"Raya—."
"Leave this to me," Raya ordered, flashing her a warning with green- shadowed blue eyes. "We look after each other down here, Mr. Ikeda. Weirdos like you aren't welcome."
Kagome played her fingers over her mouth. Inuyasha's expression showed clearly that he didn't regard himself as a weirdo in the room.
"What's this about forgers, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. "Are you in some type of trouble?"
"Oh, the boys quick," Raya said, snorting. "Someone's copied your collection and cost you an entire season's take and he wants to know if you're in some sort of trouble."
Kagome cast Inuyasha an amused glance—and saw that he was anything but amused.
"Inuyasha was just leaving," she said. "Weren't you?"
"Not until I'm sure you're all right."
Kagome opened her mouth, but couldn't form words. He was right when he said they'd known each other since she was born. But Inuyasha Ikeda had never, ever shown any signs to consider her as anything but a shadow in his existence, a shadow he wouldn't miss if it disappeared.
"What happened?" Inuyasha continued. "Someone came here and copied your work?"
"This is not the time to discuss my personal affairs," she told Inuyasha. To Raya she said, "You'd better get back. The intermission's got to be about over."
"Intermission from what?" Inuyasha asked suddenly.
"The revue at Brody Blue Door," Kagome said quickly. "Get going, Raya. Please."
"They'll cover for me. Gina can go on first."
"I think the lady just told you to get out," Inuyasha said, and there was absolutely no doubt that he looked mean. A mental pictures of Inuyasha landing a punch on Raya's scarlet painted mouth was more than Kagome could take. She went to Raya's side and put her arm into his.
"Come on." She said. "I'm fine. Of course, I'm going to be a total wreck when all this really sinks in. That's when we'll all have a talk." She took him out the door, picking up the shoes he'd dropped on the way in. "I'll come by the club later. Tell the others to stick around."
"Kenji was gibbering, dumbass," Raya said, still avoiding to look back at Inuyasha. "He said that hag up at Fables threatened to spread the story all over town if you don't take the whole collection out of circulation."
"It wasn't that straightforward, but I'll be ok." The very last thing she would ever have wanted was for Inuyasha to hear that she was in deep trouble—especially after what he just told her. Not that she believed his tales about Toto. Raya kept on grumbling, from the apartment and she shut the door behind him.
"Do you make a habit of hanging out with drag queens?"
"Oh, that's it." Making fists, she marched across the room and whipped the cover from her workbench.
"That kind of ignorance isn't worth bothering with, but maybe you can learn something. Raya's not a drag queen. He's a female impersonator and a good one too."
"Are all your friends like him?"
"No," There was no way that she'd be able to concentrate now. "Some people might say most of my friends are strange."
In the silence that followed she gave in to the urge to study him—thoroughly. He'd only got better-looking, damn it. And there was something that hadn't changed at all; her throat still tightened at the sight of him and her heart beat faster and all the little muscles low in her belly wound into thrill coils.
He smiled. For as long as she could remember, a smile from Inuyasha has been able to reduce her insides to mush.
"When did you get to be so pretty, Kagome?"
She drew in a breath and it stuck in the middle of her chest. Damn him. His kind had sixth sense when it came to gauging a women's reaction to them. Not her reaction would be different from most women's.
"I mean it," he said, as if reading her mind. He pushed his hands in his pockets of his jeans and walked lazily to stand on the opposite side of the bench from her. "I use to think you were a prissy, colorless thing."
"Thank you very much."
"Not at all. It takes a strong man to admit he was wrong. I was wrong."
The man was mysterious and he was dangerous. She had an expert witness to that fact.
"I can't help you," she told him.
"Look at me," he told her, and when she did he said, "I think we should help each other, don't you? It appears we're both in trouble."
Inuyasha stood well over six feet tall, leanly muscular and possessed with an aura of barely restrained energy. And he was, as anyone who had ever known him would agree. His long, silvery hair. The sharp of angles of his face. His eyes were bright gold.
"Am I right Kagome?" he asked softly. The firm lower lip was fuller and when he spoke he revealed he fangs. Kagome had spent many girlish times—and not so girlish—hours mesmerized by the thought of Inuyasha's mouth. She wasn't a girl anymore.
"Kagome?"
She turned her gaze to his.
"You and I have nothing in common." Why did she still have a tiny part of her that still wished it weren't so? He reached out a settled a hand on top of hers on the workbench. She didn't pull away.
"How's Kaede?" His question surprised Kagome.
"Great."
"Still holed up at Four Seasons?"
"She's at the County, not the Four Seasons," she told him about her grandmother. "And she's not holed up, as you put it. She likes freedom and a hotel suite gives her that. She hates cooking. Room service makes sure she doesn't have to cook anymore. And she can come home and go whenever she wants to."
"Bit tough to do that with a drawbridge always up, huh." She went to pull her hand away but he closed his fingers around hers.
"Sorry." He lowered his head and looked up from under dark, spiky lashes. "I like Kaede. Actually I've missed seeing her. All I meant was that I don't blame her for walking out of Toto when he decided to fill the moat and keep the drawbridge up. Bit unfair you wouldn't say?"
Kagome didn't want to talk about this, to Inuyasha or anyone else. Her grandparent's separation still caused her pain.
"Will you help me Kagome?"
"No."
"Geez." He closed his eyes and grimaced. "What's it going to take? If you won't help me make him reason, I'm going to have to get a court order for him to cease and desist. You won't like that."
No. But she didn't, for an instant, believe Inuyasha would do something like that.
"What did you think I was asking you for when I first came here tonight?" Kagome drew on a sharp breath and felt her face grow hot.
"I—nothing. I didn't know why you were here."
"Oh come on." Propping his elbows on the bench, he lifted her hand and held it in both of his. With the tips of his fingers he played with hers.
"You can fess up. What did you think I wanted?" Her finger tips were soft and his were soft. The friction between their skins made itself felt all the way to those tiny muscles deep in Kagome's belly—and lower. He bent her hand back and traced the lines' on the palm.
"What, Kagome? You can tell me." She watched his lips forming words, and his eyes as they followed the movement of his forefinger over her palm.
"Who lives here with you?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome ran her tongue over her dry roof of her mouth.
"No one you know."
"A man?"
"A man," she agreed.
"Your lover?" She tried to jerk her hand away. Inuyasha laughed and tightened his grip. He was too strong for her.
"Not your lover." He grinned in just the way she'd remembered. "Am I right?"
"You think you can seduce any women you want to, don't you?" she said. "I know all about you, Inuyasha. You're trying to seduce me now."
"Me?" His flaring brows rose innocently over widened eyes. "How could you even suggest that? I'm a man of honor." Still smiling at her, he bent his head and blew softly across her palm.
Kagome shuddered. She shuddered and shut her eyes. The sensation was raw and for an instant she felt as if she were naked and his breath bathed her heated body.
"That's enough," she snapped, opening her eyes and tugged against his grasp until he let go.
"A man of honor who drove his wife away after three years of marriage." The smile left his face.
"We won't talk about Kikyo." He said. What on earth has she been thinking of, to let him wind his way around her senses for even a moment?
"If you thought Kikyo was the way to get Toto to do what you want, you wouldn't be here," she said. "You still want Kikyo, don't you?"
He crossed his arms on the bench.
"What makes you say that?" Kagome wasn't comfortable with him so close, but she wouldn't give him the idea that he could frighten her away.
"Kikyo and I tell each other everything, Inuyasha. I know how often she hears from you." He shook his head very slowly from side to side.
"It pointless to pretend that you don't. You didn't consent the divorce because you didn't have a leg to stand on. And we both know why, right?"
"I don't think you know anything about what happened with Kikyo and me," he said softly, so softly. Kagome's stomach flipped over.
"Can you tell me you haven't tried to get back together with her?" He look steadily into her eyes.
"Why didn't I notice that you're beautiful?" he said. "It's not like me to miss details like that."
"You're changing the subject."
"You're right. Help me with Toto."
"No."
Inuyasha sighed. Everything is perfect about him. She remembered when he broke his nose and it healed well. It doesn't even like never broke. It happened during the summer. When Toto and Kaede were still together and still happy, and Kagome's mother was alive—and Inuyasha's grandfather and, his father. Inuyasha's step-mother and his brother Sesshomaru had also been there of course. Not too much later, Kagome's mom died. Then her father, Rocco, meet and married Lilly, Kikyo's mother.
"What are you thinking about?" Inuyasha asked.
"How you broke your nose." Kagome said and pressed her lips together. He smiled.
"Long time ago."
"Long time." Kagome agreed. Kikyo was just about the same age as Kagome. Rocco had adopted Kikyo and they slowly became friends.
"Use to be great when our families got along, didn't it?"
"I guess so." She said, but knew that she missed those days.
"Things change and we have to move on." Rocco and Lilly had moved to run a food corp. Then Toto and Kaede had announced that they are disowning there own son on the grounds that he had bad taste in second wives and he was "boring as hell."
"You and I could make ourselves responsible for pulling the families together again, Kagome." She only half heard what he said. Kikyo was the beautiful one. Everything about her was great. From her hair, her gray eyes to her nice tall frame body. Kikyo was the one that all the boys wanted to date and later, wanted to marry. Even when Kagome hadn't seen her sister for weeks, she could still hear her laugh and visualized the way she walked, the way she grabbed any attention of any man who saw her.
Inuyasha had staked his claim to Kikyo when she was 15 and he was 17. He'd seriously told Rocco he wanted to marry her and will wait till they're older. He did wait.
"It could be great again, Kagome." Inuyasha said. "All it's going to take is a united front from you and me. They'll all fall into line if they see we've got something going."
Kagome looked into his clear gold eyes. Kikyo had lived and breathed Inuyasha Ikeda. All she'd talked about was how he made her feel and how she never wanted to stop feeling him make her feel that way. He'd taken her love and twisted it. Two years had passed since the divorce and Kikyo was her old self.
There was a great deal about her sister's lifestyle and worried Kagome, in a way her obsession with her own sexuality, but at least she seemed happy. Kagome couldn't let Inuyasha interfere with that.
"She won't have you back." Kagome told him. His expression grew blank.
"Kikyo's writing again. She's got a great series going on about a hard- boiled police guy. This one's going to fly. Don't interfere anymore, Inuyasha. Go away and leave her alone."
"You don't understand," he said. "I'm not . . . . . . . . . I'm not here about anything to do with Kikyo. When I walked in here, I . . . . . . . . . Well, take it any way you want to for now, but corny as it sounds, I'm not sure I ever really saw you before tonight."
It took all of Kagome's power not to catch his words and take them to her heart. He splayed a hand over his chest in a gesture, she remembered him using since forever.
"Forget I said that." He told her. "It doesn't matter—not now anyways. Join me in putting a dumb old man disagreement to bed, Kagome."
She saw him a minute detail and felt the disintegration of the barrier she'd start building as a girl of 15, when she'd seen how he looked at Kikyo.
"Tell Toto that we're in love, Kagome," he said very quietly. "Who knows, maybe we were meant to come together like this. Maybe we can make the myth come true."
"Damn you," she whispered. "Damn you, Inuyasha, for the shit head you are."
"Hey—."
"No. No! I will not lie to my grandfather. Kikyo's right. You're an arrogant son of a bitch who never for one moment doubts that he can make any women jump if he wants to."
"Kikyo—."
"Don't say one bad word about Kikyo. You made her suffer the way no human should suffer. She ought to have made sure you suffered as much. She should have seen you in jail."
"In jail?" He screwed up his face. "What the hell do you mean in jai?"
"What I say." Kagome stomped around the bench and passed him. His hand shot out to grab her arm.
"Oh, you're very good at manhandling women, aren't you? That makes you feel like a really big man."
"Goddamn it! Listen to me."
"Listen to you pretend you didn't almost destroy my sister with your demands? Listen to you deny that you're an animal disguised as a man? Listen to you try to say you haven't been hounding her to come back to you ever since the divorce?"
"Yes," he hissed. He was pissed off.
"If I didn't love my sister, I'd tell her you came here tonight. I won't because it would hurt and frighten her. She's told me all about you, Inuyasha, and not a word from it is pretty."
"I'll bet. And now you're going to listen to my side."
"Out!" she ordered and waited until he slowly approached. When he stood looking down at her in the doorway, she said,
"You almost destroyed Kikyo with your demands. Now you're trying to use sex, to make me heel."
"I wasn't using sex, for God's sake. I—."
"You use sex for everything," she cut in. "You're addicted to sex and that's why Kikyo left you. Get out." He let her push him outside.
"This is only the first round," he told her. "I'll be back."
"Not if I see you coming. If you do, I'll make sure some of the people whose opinions you value so highly know all about your perversion."
"Perversion?"
"Perversion, yes. Any man who forces his wife to walk around naked in from of him every minute of the time he's with her is perverted." His mouth worked but made no sound.
"Finally speechless? You made her cook your meals naked and wash dishes naked." Her throat tightened and she fought to swallow.
"And only a pervert makes his wife have sex several times a night in every sick way he can dream up." Inuyasha found his voice.
"Are you going to list those way with me?" he asked. His mood had become dangerous. Kagome was beyond caring.
"That would turn you on, wouldn't it? Well, I don't know all the ways, but you do."
"Tell me, tell me one." She thought for a while. "Well . . . . . . . . . Making her dress up as a school girl and watch dirty movies, and . . . . . . . . ." Her face turned red in embarrassment.
"Go on."
"You like to pretend you were seducing a school girl and made her do all the things on those nasty movies."
"What things?"
"You took off her clothes and then you made her . . . . . . . . ."
"What did I make her do?" He was pissed. It looks like he would burst anytime.
"She had to get down on her knees and in front you while you kept on watching, and . . . . . . . . . and . . . . . . . . ." She couldn't say it.
"And what? Suck my cock?" He pulled the door from her hands. "Is that what I made her do?" Kagome turned around.
"I bet the worst part was when I sucked her back—hard—right? Sorry I don't have time to stick around for a full fucking evaluation. Later, okay babe?" The floorboards creaked as he walked down the stairs. She slammed the door and she heard him say,
"Later Kagome. I'll be back."
Well there is chapter 2. And yes I have finally updated. Sorry that I took so damn long. I'm out of school so I will update faster. I swear. Please review. I love it when people review. It makes me update faster. Well thanks to all the people who reviewed before. Thanks a lot. Until next time!

All she'd talked about was how he made her feel and how she never wanted to stop feeling him make her feel that way. He'd taken her love and twisted it. Two years had passed since the divorce and Kikyo was her old self.
There was a great deal about her sister's lifestyle and worried Kagome, in a way her obsession with her own sexuality, but at least she seemed happy. Kagome couldn't let Inuyasha interfere with that.
"She won't have you back." Kagome told him. His expression grew blank.
"Kikyo's writing again. She's got a great series going on about a hard- boiled police guy. This one's going to fly. Don't interfere anymore, Inuyasha. Go away and leave her alone."
"You don't understand," he said. "I'm not . . . . . . . . . I'm not here about anything to do with Kikyo. When I walked in here, I . . . . . . . . . Well, take it any way you want to for now, but corny as it sounds, I'm not sure I ever really saw you before tonight."
It took all of Kagome's power not to catch his words and take them to her heart. He splayed a hand over his chest in a gesture, she remembered him using since forever.
"Forget I said that." He told her. "It doesn't matter—not now anyways. Join me in putting a dumb old man disagreement to bed, Kagome."
She saw him a minute detail and felt the disintegration of the barrier she'd start building as a girl of 15, when she'd seen how he looked at Kikyo.
"Tell Toto that we're in love, Kagome," he said very quietly. "Who knows, maybe we were meant to come together like this. Maybe we can make the myth come true."
"Damn you," she whispered. "Damn you, Inuyasha, for the shit head you are."
"Hey—."
"No. No! I will not lie to my grandfather. Kikyo's right. You're an arrogant son of a bitch who never for one moment doubts that he can make any women jump if he wants to."
"Kikyo—."
"Don't say one bad word about Kikyo. You made her suffer the way no human should suffer. She ought to have made sure you suffered as much. She should have seen you in jail."
"In jail?" He screwed up his face. "What the hell do you mean in jai?"
"What I say." Kagome stomped around the bench and passed him. His hand shot out to grab her arm.
"Oh, you're very good at manhandling women, aren't you? That makes you feel like a really big man."
"Goddamn it! Listen to me."
"Listen to you pretend you didn't almost destroy my sister with your demands? Listen to you deny that you're an animal disguised as a man? Listen to you try to say you haven't been hounding her to come back to you ever since the divorce?"
"Yes," he hissed. He was pissed off.
"If I didn't love my sister, I'd tell her you came here tonight. I won't because it would hurt and frighten her. She's told me all about you, Inuyasha, and not a word from it is pretty."
"I'll bet. And now you're going to listen to my side."
"Out!" she ordered and waited until he slowly approached. When he stood looking down at her in the doorway, she said,
"You almost destroyed Kikyo with your demands. Now you're trying to use sex, to make me heel."
"I wasn't using sex, for God's sake. I—."
"You use sex for everything," she cut in. "You're addicted to sex and that's why Kikyo left you. Get out." He let her push him outside.
"This is only the first round," he told her. "I'll be back."
"Not if I see you coming. If you do, I'll make sure some of the people whose opinions you value so highly know all about your perversion."
"Perversion?"
"Perversion, yes. Any man who forces his wife to walk around naked in from of him every minute of the time he's with her is perverted." His mouth worked but made no sound.
"Finally speechless? You made her cook your meals naked and wash dishes naked." Her throat tightened and she fought to swallow.
"And only a pervert makes his wife have sex several times a night in every sick way he can dream up." Inuyasha found his voice.
"Are you going to list those way with me?" he asked. His mood had become dangerous. Kagome was beyond caring.
"That would turn you on, wouldn't it? Well, I don't know all the ways, but you do."
"Tell me, tell me one." She thought for a while. "Well . . . . . . . . . Making her dress up as a school girl and watch dirty movies, and . . . . . . . . ." Her face turned red in embarrassment.
"Go on."
"You like to pretend you were seducing a school girl and made her do all the things on those nasty movies."
"What things?"
"You took off her clothes and then you made her . . . . . . . . ."
"What did I make her do?" He was pissed. It looks like he would burst anytime.
"She had to get down on her knees and in front you while you kept on watching, and . . . . . . . . . and . . . . . . . . ." She couldn't say it.
"And what? Suck my cock?" He pulled the door from her hands. "Is that what I made her do?" Kagome turned around.
"I bet the worst part was when I sucked her back—hard—right? Sorry I don't have time to stick around for a full fucking evaluation. Later, okay babe?" The floorboards creaked as he walked down the stairs. She slammed the door and she heard him say,
"Later Kagome. I'll be back."
