Chapter 19: If I Ain't Got You
. [Kagome's World] .
It had taken them awhile, but Kagome had gotten them in shape. The hardest part would probably teaching Sango how to walk in Italian pumps. They stood back and looked at themselves in her full length mirror, both beaming with pride and anticipation.
She turned to Sango, and nodded, who in turn nodded back. They grabbed their purses and walked out the door.
[InuYasha's World]
His head shot to his right as he looked at the top of the stairs. Kagome and Sango stood there. But boy did they ever.
He was sure that if he kept his mouth open anymore, he would start to drool. He could already picture Miroku drooling, regardless.
Kagome wore a strapless black dress that hugged her in all the right spots. It was tight until her thighs, when it cut off and dangled elegantly off to the side. Jewels were embroided into the material, following the flow of the creases. Her hair was pulled up into a clip, and flowed over the rest of the clip gracefully, curled tendrils framing her face. Her shoes had cross-over straps in a matching black, that looped up around her ankles once before joining as one. She held a matching black purse, with trails of jewels along the clasp, hanging of the black string.
Sango also wore a black dress, but it had a different shape. It had two fairly thick straps on both sides. One extended like a regular tank top, the other went across her arm, revealing her perfect shoulders. The material was looser in the front, causing the material to fold slightly, creating a rivet of patters that looked like several layers covered it. It came across the top of her chest evenly, only dipping slightly, as it gathered in the top left of her shoulder in a jeweled broach. The dress also hugged her petite waist and thighs, but fanned out before cutting off mid-way down her calves in graceful waves. Her hair, although in it's normal fashion, had be rid of all its waves, courtesy of Kagome's flattening iron. Her bangs framed her face, as a matching clip to the broach on her dress pinned back the top layer behind her head. She held a clutch, with jewels embroidered into it also. Her shoes resembled that of Kagome's.
They both wore designer glasses, Kagome's of a blue shade, Sango's of an indigo. Both glasses faded as they moved from top to bottom, and InuYasha watched as they both tipped them down to look at them, revealing silver eyeshadow on Sango, and Kagome's smoldering eyes.
They walked down the stairs in unison, and strolled past the dazed males, straight out the door.
InuYasha and Miroku gaped after them, as their backs revealed a low-cut on Kagome's dress, and an open cross-pattern of material on Sango's.
They stopped and turned to them, as Kagome called out, "Well, are you coming?" before continuing to walk away.
InuYasha and Miroku looked at eachother before both speaking out a fairly loud "Dayuumm," one that both girls could hear, before smiling and running after them, closing the door in their wake.
. .
[Kagome's World]
Her and Sango walked side by side, Miroku and InuYasha on the other sides of them. They inwardly beamed. It was the reaction they had been hoping for. Kagome's stomach fluttered. Did he really think that she was beautiful? She stole a glance at him, and saw him looking at her, only to divert his gaze quickly with a blush on his face.
She looked at Sango who had just done the same with Miroku, who was now very pink in the face. Most unlike his usual calm and collected outer- shell. They exchanged a silent smile and a wink before focusing on the path ahead.
They walked for a bit longer, before Kagome started to become a bit frustrated. I mean, it was great getting this much attention and scaring the crap out of them, but she was starting to miss his touch already. She had barely seen him all day. She scootched towards him a bit as they walked, and he visibly stiffened.
She pretended to shiver and mentioned something about being cold, but he only gave her his coat. She crossed her arms in frustration. Gods, couldn't he take a hint?
A few subtle hints and an increasingly peeved Kagome later, she still hadn't gotten him to take her hand or wrap his arm around her. She grumbled to herself under her breath, inwardly feeling very alone, but put on an angry face.
She trodded along the sidewalk, still visibly upset, not watching where she was stepping. Her heel caught in a crack in the sidewalk and she swayed forward, her arms automatically shooting out to brace herself for the impact. But it never came. A familiar set of arms wrapped around her waist, and stood her upright. She looked up and smiled at him, and he blushed lightly.
She frowned. "Ever since today you've been acting weird. What's wrong with you? I'm still Kagome."
He blinked and looked at her before smiling and linking his hand in hers. She smiled at him, and leaned her head on his shoulder as they continued walking. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Miroku reach for Sango. But the most suprising part was that he didn't reach for her behind, rather in favour of her hand. She saw Sango blush prettily, before accepting his hand in her own.
She smiled. Tonight was indeed going to be fun.
. .
They reached the club, along with many other couples as they waited outside to get in. Kagome could already hear the music and she shook with anticipation. Oh how she wanted to dance.
When they finally got inside, they made a beeline towards a table to reserve it. They sat around for a bit, before Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. Her favourite song came on, and she jumped up. InuYasha watched her with confusion.
"Oh, I love this song! Come dance with me, InuYasha!" He turned light pink, before replying,
"D-Dance?"
"Yeah!" She exclaimed. "It's ok if you don't want to," she stated, a bit disappointed, but trying not to let it show, "I'll be right there." She pointed to a spot on the floor, before mingling with the crowd.
. .
[InuYasha's World]
He watched her walk into the crowd, before returning his gaze to the table.
"InuYasha!" a female voice started, "Go dance with Kagome!"
He mumbled something under his breath, and they leaned in closer to hear.
"I don't know how to dance," he admitted a bit nervously.
"Oh is that all?" she stated.
He looked up, confused, "What do you mean 'is that all' ?"
"It's not that hard. Kagome showed me how. She said you just had to 'move with the beat' and that it would come to you. She said there was no right or wrong way to dance."
He turned his head to look at her on the dancefloor. He had never actually seen how people in her time danced before. A lot of people around her, mostly couples, were dancing in a very weird way. Thinking about, it made him blush. He decided to focuse on Kagome.
She moved her hips in a seductive way to the beat, her arms following her movements. He watched as she became one with the music, his eyes following her body, landing on her delicate face. She was smiling in a way he had never seen her smile before. She had smiled for him many times...but not like that. He wanted to be the cause of her smile, he wanted to be the one to make her smile that way.
The song ended as another one came on. A lot of people shouted for joy, and seemed to move with a re-newed happiness in their system, Kagome included. He could tell she liked the song, and her body moved better with it. He could feel both her and the music calling to him. He wanted to get up so badly, but his feet wouldn't move.
She moved faster to the rhythm, her hips swaying gracefully but playfully to the beat. She turned so that her back was to him, and he watched as she danced in sync with the music. His will power to stay seated hung on by a thread, but it snapped, as she turned suddenly to the music, the tendrils around her hair flying gracefully, as her head turned gracefully.
He was gone.
. .
[Kagome's World]
She moved to the rhythm as the second part of the song commensed.
Here we go
She swayed to the beat, her body moving like it had a mind of it's own. She was so lost in the beat, that she didn't hear someone approaching until two strong hands rested on her waist. She turned suddenly to find InuYasha standing infront of her. She beamed at him, before turning so that her back was against his chest. She placed his arms around her stomach, and began to move to the beat, feeling him join her soon after.
The minute you walked through my door,
I knew this love is forever more.
But then you told me all these lies,
Seems you really opened up my eyes
She usually tweaked the lyrics to her liking, but never-the-less, she continued to sway with InuYasha to the beat. He moved like he had done it all his life, and she was amazed at how quickly he caught on. He pulled her closer, and it startled her a bit, but never stopping her movements.
All-All-All-All I want,
Is a little piece of heaven.
All-All-All-All I need,
Is a little piece of heaven, now that you're gone
She began to become lost in both the music and InuYasha, as the pace quickened slightly. He lowered his head to the crook of her neck, and she could feel him breathe deeply, the air tickling her neck. She rubbed her head against his absently, as they moved as one to the music.
You taught me right from wrong,
And told me always to be strong.
Here we go.
But now I'm better off alone,
I'm searching for a better home.
She raised her arm around his head so that her head rested limply on his back. She had never danced like this before. His touch was making her dizzy, and the found it hard to concentrate. He raised his head a bit, and pressed his cheek to hers. She relished the contact as the moved more daringly to the music.
All-All-All-All I want,
Is a little piece of heaven.
All-All-All-All I need,
Is a little piece of heaven, now that you're gone
The song was coming to an end, and Kagome regretted it already, even while the music still played.
"And you said," she made out between gasps of air, "That you couldn't dance?"
He smirked, but offered no reply as he simply gave his answer through his movements.
Na, na na na na na, na na na
Na, na na na na na, na, na, na.
Here we go.
Na, na na na na na, na na na
Na, na na na na na, na, na, na.
You are my fantasy.
They began to slow, as the rhythm decreased a bit, their movements more sensual to the slower pace. Kagome ached for the song to go on, so that she wouldn't have to let go. She wanted to moment to last forever. She frowned in disappointment. It just wasn't fair.
All I want,
Is a little piece of heaven.
All I need,
Is a little piece of heaven.
All I want,
Is a little piece of heaven,
All I need,
Is a little piece of heaven, now that you're gone.
His grip on her waist loosened, and she turned to face him, as they swayed softly to the last part of the song.
I can see it in your eyes.
She locked gazes with him, and time seemed to stand still. Suddenly, he dipped his head in low, and his lips met hers. An electric shock coursed through her body at his touch, and she shivered in pleasure. She responded to his kiss, and broke it fairly soon, considering they were in public.
She looked around tentatively to see a few couples watching them, some winking, and she grabbed his hand to lead him off the dance floor back to their own table.
Miroku and Sango watched with wide eyes.
"That," started a seemingly shocked Sango, "Is dancing?" Her face visibly paled, and Kagome couldn't tell if she wanted to try it, or didn't want to touch the subject at all.
"I think I could start to like the dancing in your era, Kagome-sama," Miroku stated, as his smile got visibly bigger.
Sango groaned, but was inwardly greatful. She actually wanted to try it with him. Without him groping her of course. Kagome could tell by the look on her face, and winked at her, making her blush a bit.
She got up, "I'm going to the bar to get some colas, I'll be right back." They nodded and she smiled, setting off in search of refreshments.
. .
Some hours later, they were all sitting at the table, all covered in a bit of sweat. Over the course of the hours, InuYasha and Kagome had danced to quite a bit more songs, and Sango and Miroku had also joined. They had caught on fairly quickly, and even Sango seemed to want to go again for more.
Kagome guess it was about twelve thirty, and was becoming pretty tired. She stifled a yawn, as she sipped more of her cola. Thank God for caffeine.
The DJ came on the speakers, stating that he was about to play the last song for the night. Kagome grabbed InuYasha, as Sango did Miroku, and they all walked onto the dancefloor for one last time.
They stood parallel to eachother, and Kagome showed them the posture for a more slowly-suited beat. She demonstrated by taking one of InuYasha's hands and placing it on her hip, and hooking one of her own arms around his neck. She took his remaining hand in hers, and held it out to the side. Sango and Miroku did the same, just as the music started to play over the crowd.
Some people live for the fortune.
Some people live just for the fame.
Some people live for the power,
Some people live just to play the game
Kagome swayed gently to the music with InuYasha. She loved this song. It made her think about him. Everytime they would visit a village in the Feudal Era, she always thought of the next chorus. It always saddened her, but in a way...it reminded her of just how much she loved him for who he was.
Some people think that the physical things,
Define what's within.
And I've been there before,
But that life's a bore.
So full of the superficial.
She loved classical dancing. She felt InuYasha shifting, and opened her eyes to look at him.
"Something wrong?"
"I don't like...the space...between us," he whispered, blushing slightly.
Kagome smiled, before removing her hand from his, and placing it around his neck to join her other one. His joined his own on her waist, as she closed the gap between them, turning her head to rest on his chest, as she closed her eyes again.
Some people want it all,
But I don't want nothing at all,
If it ain't you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings,
Some just want everything,
But everything means nothing, If I ain't got you, yeah.
They rocked gently to the beat, and Kagome looked over to Sango who was dancing with Miroku. They were still in the previous position, both too shy and embarrassed to follow their lead.
Kagome locked eyes with Sango, and moved her head and hand slightly, motioning for her to move closer to Miroku like her and InuYasha. She faltered slightly, before gathering her courage, and throwing both her arms around his neck, and pulling close to him so he couldn't see the blush on her face.
Kagome watched as Miroku froze for but a second, before placing both hands around her waist; and keeping them there.
Some people search for a fountain,
That promises forever young.
Some people need three dozen roses,
And that's the only way to prove you love him.
She closed her eyes and breathed deep. She unlocked her hands, and moved them lower, in favour of his waist. She leaned against him, as the embraced to the song. He kissed the top of her forehead, and she smiled into his shirt.
"I love you InuYasha," she stated, unafraid.
"As do I, Kagome."
Hand me the world on a silver platter,
And what good would it be,
With no one to share,
With no one who truly cares for me?
She turned her head so that she could see his eyes, and stared into their violet depths, watching as a flicker of amber shone through every now and then.
He lowered his head to her, and she rose a bit as they kissed chastely, before resuming their regular positions, enjoying the truth and comfort of the song and its lyrics.
Some people want it all,
But I don't want nothing at all,
If I ain't got you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings,
Some just want everything,
But everything means nothing, If I ain't got you, you, you.
She squeezed him tightly, as tears formed in her eyes. For once in her life, she was truly sure of her future. She was truly happy. Nothing could bring her down now.
She had everything she had ever dreamed of and more. A little girl's fantasies turned to an everyday lifestyle. Her knight in shining armor. Or, more technically, red.
Some people want it all,
But I don't want nothing at all,
If it ain't you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings,
Some just want everything,
But everything means nothing, If I ain't got you, yeah.
She felt InuYasha rest his head atop hers, and she relished more contact. She was living in a world of sheer bliss. She knew, that if nothing else, she would never forget this night.
Or this song. This would be...
If I ain't got you with me baby...
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing,
If I ain't got you with me baby.
Their song.

Kagome swayed gently to the music with InuYasha. She loved this song. It made her think about him. Everytime they would visit a village in the Feudal Era, she always thought of the next chorus. It always saddened her, but in a way...it reminded her of just how much she loved him for who he was.
Some people think that the physical things,
Define what's within.
And I've been there before,
But that life's a bore.
So full of the superficial.
She loved classical dancing. She felt InuYasha shifting, and opened her eyes to look at him.
"Something wrong?"
"I don't like...the space...between us," he whispered, blushing slightly.
Kagome smiled, before removing her hand from his, and placing it around his neck to join her other one. His joined his own on her waist, as she closed the gap between them, turning her head to rest on his chest, as she closed her eyes again.
Some people want it all,
But I don't want nothing at all,
If it ain't you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings,
Some just want everything,
But everything means nothing, If I ain't got you, yeah.
They rocked gently to the beat, and Kagome looked over to Sango who was dancing with Miroku. They were still in the previous position, both too shy and embarrassed to follow their lead.
Kagome locked eyes with Sango, and moved her head and hand slightly, motioning for her to move closer to Miroku like her and InuYasha. She faltered slightly, before gathering her courage, and throwing both her arms around his neck, and pulling close to him so he couldn't see the blush on her face.
Kagome watched as Miroku froze for but a second, before placing both hands around her waist; and keeping them there.
Some people search for a fountain,
That promises forever young.
Some people need three dozen roses,
And that's the only way to prove you love him.
She closed her eyes and breathed deep. She unlocked her hands, and moved them lower, in favour of his waist. She leaned against him, as the embraced to the song. He kissed the top of her forehead, and she smiled into his shirt.
"I love you InuYasha," she stated, unafraid.
"As do I, Kagome."
Hand me the world on a silver platter,
And what good would it be,
With no one to share,
With no one who truly cares for me?
She turned her head so that she could see his eyes, and stared into their violet depths, watching as a flicker of amber shone through every now and then.
He lowered his head to her, and she rose a bit as they kissed chastely, before resuming their regular positions, enjoying the truth and comfort of the song and its lyrics.
Some people want it all,
But I don't want nothing at all,
If I ain't got you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings,
Some just want everything,
But everything means nothing, If I ain't got you, you, you.
She squeezed him tightly, as tears formed in her eyes. For once in her life, she was truly sure of her future. She was truly happy. Nothing could bring her down now.
She had everything she had ever dreamed of and more. A little girl's fantasies turned to an everyday lifestyle. Her knight in shining armor. Or, more technically, red.
Some people want it all,
But I don't want nothing at all,
If it ain't you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings,
Some just want everything,
But everything means nothing, If I ain't got you, yeah.
She felt InuYasha rest his head atop hers, and she relished more contact. She was living in a world of sheer bliss. She knew, that if nothing else, she would never forget this night.
Or this song. This would be...
If I ain't got you with me baby...
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing,
If I ain't got you with me baby.
Their song.
