From Our Past

Chapter 4 The things we do for our jobs.

"Well Inuyasha, are you ready for a big night of dancing and women?" Miroku patted Inuyasha on the back as they walked down the stairs toward the bar to get a good spot so they could watch all the women that came in the door.

"You never stop do you Miroku?" Inuyasha scoffed at the encouragable man next to him.

"Never stop that is my modo. It is my goal in life to please as many women as I possible can before I die." He smirked back. Inuyasha laughed at him whole heartedly.

"MIROKU SWEETY!" Came a squeal from near the bar. He smiled as the bouncy blond waitress came running up to him and gave him a hug. Like clockwork he rubbed her behind as he hugged her back and she giggled even more then pushed him away. "You naughty boy." She smiled and shook her head. "What will my favorite gentlemen have tonight?"

"The usual for me." Miroku said then turned to his partner in crime. "And for you my friend?"

"Just a soda and lime for now. Don't want to get too well rounded before the evening even gets started you know." Inuyasha smiled then glanced back at the doorway. There was only one person he didn't want to see and basically since they had stopped dating she didn't come here but then again she had been trying to contact him for the past two weeks almost every day. He had checked and she wasn't in town that he knew of but then again she could be hiding out. Miroku guided him to a booth table close to the stairs and dance floor but still had a good enough view of the door where they could see the people coming in. It didn't take long for the blond to returned with their drinks. Miroku signed his tab slip then stretched out to enjoy the pleasant scene of the ladies that were already coming in the door. He recognized all so far since they were regulars here trying to find rich husbands.

Inuyasha watched half interested and was beginning to wonder why he even came tonight. His heart wasn't into it at all. He was about to make an excuse to leave when Miroku sat up all of a sudden with an open mouth. His blue eyes almost bugged out enough to make Inuyasha laugh. Curious he followed Miroku's stare to the door. His own mouth dropped.

"Kikyou?" He whispered. His heart was ready to pound out of his chest. 'This can't be! I don't even want to see that bitch.' A growl escaped his chest and he gritted his teeth.

"No not her. She never looked that good." Miroku was almost drooling on the table as he leaned forward. "Ever seen that girl with the Kikyou look alike?" Inuyasha shook his head no and glared closer at the girl he thought was his ex-girlfriend. The harder he looked the more he saw the differences. She was a little shorter and slimmer. She carried herself with grace and pride. Her eyes danced with the light and she had a pleasant smile on her face. He didn't ever remember seeing Kikyou smile unless there was a camera involved. His concentration was broken when Miroku stood up announcing that he was going to invite them to come set at the table with them. Before Inuyasha thought to stop him he was half way to them.

Inuyasha watched intently as Miroku approached them and very politely introduced himself. They both seemed to respond to him and he didn't try to grope either one. This was a first. Inuyasha looked shocked as the two lovely women followed Miroku to their table. He watched her walk toward the table. It was like slow motion the way her legs moved and her hips gently swayed with her stride. The dress inched up her thigh ever so slightly with each step only to fall back into place as she would bring the next foot forward. His eyes followed that silky smooth dress up the curves of her body to her perfect size breasts that were hidden below the low cut yoke of the garment. He uncontiously wet his lips when he viewed the creamy smoothness of her shoulders and neck. They got to the table just as his gaze reached her face once again. A flawless smile graced her cherry lips as their eyes met. Her blue gray eyes sparkled like saphires.

"Ladies I would like you to meet my best friend Inuyasha. This is Sango and the lovely lady you are staring at is Kagome." Inuyasha's face turned pink but he stood anyway and offered his hand which each girl took in turn. Then he offered for Kagome to slid into the booth before him as did Miroku to Sango. He tried hard to think of something to say as Miroku rambled on about different things. It didn't take long for him to notice how nervous Sango was. She would smile politely but didn't say much. Kagome would answer any questions given her with precise and almost rehearsed answers. She would laugh on que and appeared to be the perfect date. Inuyasha had a hard time not staring at her. She would catch him from time to time but all he could do was turn his head and blush. Finally he got the courage up to ask if they wanted something to drink.

"Just soda and lime for me right now. No use getting to carried away this early." Kagome smiled sweetly.

"Funny that is what Inuyasha said. Am I good at picking the right girls or what." Miroku congratulated himself. Sango and Kagome just giggled along with him as Inuyasha blushed.

"What about you Sango?" Inuyasha asked to get off the subject.

"A double scotch on the rocks if you don't mind." She looked at the other two sheepishly. She gave a little smile shyly. "I need a pick me up." She turned her head to hide her red face. Miroku and Kagome chuckled.

"You mean more like something to give you some gu..." Kagome started.

"Kagome!??" Sango shot daggers at her. Inuyasha started to laugh with the others as Sango laid her head on the table in defeat. When the waitress came back with their drinks again Miroku signed the tab sheet to pay for it.

"So what brings you ladies to this part of the country?" Miroku asked trying to make small talk.

"Oh I am here on business. This is my first time here and had heard about this place so wanted to give it a try." Kagome said jovially.

"But how did you get in? You have to be on the list. That is unless you got connections." Inuyasha looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"That was easy. My friend told me a long time ago and I made the reservations right after I found out I had to come here. That must have been about a month ago or so." She smiled sweetly with an innocence in her eyes he couldn't resist. It seemed like a normal answer but there was something about her that he just couldn't get over. The others were talking away about all sorts of stuff but then Miroku was good at that. He definitely made a good PR man. Inuyasha caught himself looked at Kagome out of the corner of his eye from time to time. Her smile, those lips, that ear lobe 'WHAT! STOP THAT YOU ASS. YOU JUST MET HER GEESH!' He scolded himself. 'I'm hopeless. It has been two months and already I feel like I can't live without a woman. Pathetic!' He berated himself in his mind. By now the music started and Sango was on her second drink.

"Wanna dance my pretty woman?" Miroku cooed at her. She slammed down half of the drink and giggled as he took her hand to lead her out on the dance floor. Inuyasha and Kagome just stared at her mood swing. She sure wasn't being shy now by the way she dancing with Miroku.

"Does she drink like that often?" He asked Kagome as a second thought.

"Wouldn't know. I just met her today at the meeting. I practically had to drag her out to get someone to come with me. I might have been better off just coming alone." She watched with wide eyes as Miroku swung her around a couple of times the brought her back into his arms. As soon as she was there he ran a hand down to her butt and rubbed. Sango giggled and merely pulled his hand back up to her waist. This was a very different reaction from what Kagome would have thought concidering the way Sango had talked earlier that day about being a piece of meat.

"Nah you wouldn't have wanted to come by yourself. Then the wolves and the mashers wouldn't have left your lovely side all night and guys like me would never be able to get near you." He smirked at Kagome's blush. "What? Are you embarrassed?" He pulled her chin up to face his gaze with a sideways smirk. He stared into her eyes for a moment then smiled. "It is the truth you know. Those eyes are irresistible." She giggled totally embarrassed now. The song had changed to a slow one. More of the kind that Inuyasha liked. So while he still had her attention he asked "would you like this dance?" He stood and offered her his hand. She took it still blushing. As elegant as a waltz he swept her onto the dance floor with a series of twirls until she was safe in his arms. He held her tightly around the waist but not too tight. It was enough to make a girl swoon.

The dance was like magic. It seemed like the whole room disappeared leaving only them and the music. She gazed into his eyes totally under his spell as he swayed with her across the dance floor. 'Why does this feel so familiar? It makes no sense but I feel so safe here in his arms.' She thought as she studied every feature of his flawless face. Subconsciously she had wrapped both her arms around his neck and he had wrapped both his hands around her back drawing her even closer to him. He too was studying her features as his hands wandered slowly up and down her spine gently dragging his fingers ever so softly sending shivers through her body. Slowly he leaned down where their noses were a mere inch apart. She could feel his warm breath on her lips as he began to close the distance. Softly he brushed his lips against hers just as the song ended. The enchantment faded and the room came back into view as the music changed to something more upbeat again. He still held her in his arms and smiled down at her unable to break his vision of her that is until Miroku patted him on the shoulder as he and Sango went back to the table with their arms around each other.

"Um... thanks for the dance. Sorry about...you know." He seemed kind of at a loss for words.

"Your welcome and no problem. It wasn't exactly unwelcome." She smiled shyly as they walked back to the table. He surpressed a grin as they set back down. There were two more drinks for them. Sango and Miroku were very chummy since both had drank quite a bit. Kagome started to take a drink of her 'soda and lime' but gagged on it. She looked at it as if it had grown two heads then turned and looked Inuyasha whom was looking at his with suspicious eyes. He lifted it then sipped it and had the same reaction. They both looked over at Miroku and Sango who busted out laughing and knew what they did. Frowning Kagome waved the waitress over and asked for a plain Pepsi that time. Inuyasha gave her his drink as well but stuck with soda and lime. "Sango are you being mischievous?" Kagome raised an eyebrow at her but Sango only grinned. Sighing she accepted another dance with Inuyasha but threatened them both if they touched their drinks before they got back. The two only smiled innocently and promised they would behave.

"You don't really believe them do you?" Inuyasha asked as they danced.

"Not on your life so don't get far from the table. If they think we are watching them maybe they won't do it again." She glanced over but didn't see them. "I don't see them that could be trouble."

"Over by the bathrooms. I see Sango standing in the line." Inuyasha confirmed and pointed so Kagome could see.

"I was worried but where is Miroku?" They both looked around but didn't see him.

"I wouldn't worry he is probably there too. Can't drink that much and not have to make at least one trip there." Inuyasha commented. Kagome raised an eyebrow as he pulled her close when the music changed to a slow one again.

"Would that be from someone who knows?" She smiled playfully.

"You could say that. At one time maybe but I don't drink much now because it was getting too out of hand. It caused allot of problems." He smiled down at her and snaked his hands to her back less dress again. She tensed a little until he leaned down close to her ear. "You know I am not really in the mood for this place tonight. Would you care to join me for some coffee maybe?" He looked hopefully in her eyes and she knew what he meant.

"I can't leave Sango. I don't think she is being very responsible right now." He knodded he understood and spun her around few times making her giggle. They danced a couple more dances then returned to the table. Both looked at their drinks suspiciously then sipped them. The threat seemed to work and they were normal. They must have set there for almost thirty minutes then realized that the other two had not been back to the table. Inuyasha scanned the dance floor but didn't see them. He waved over the waitress and asked her if she had seen Miroku around.

"Oh yeah. He and that pretty little thing left about half an hour or so ago maybe longer. I heard him say he had something he wanted to show her. Oh and by the way he left before paying his tab." Inuyasha's face was red with anger. He growled startling the waitress but he apologized quickly and handed her a creditcard.

"I think we better go. If I know Miroku he took her back to our hotel room. I don't want to tell you what may be going on there but if you want to catch up with your friend then I suggest we go after them." He had a look of urgency in his eyes and Kagome could only think the worst. Poor Sango, she had talked her into coming here and now some pervert was going to take advantage of her drunken state. It was all her fault. They walked up to the bar and Inuyasha signed the credit card slip. A guy at the bar started to talk to Kagome while he was busy and was trying to talk her into dumping him to stay there and party but she was politely telling him that she was tired of the atmosphere and needed to leave. Inuyasha was about to deck the guy when he grabbed Kagome's arm but someone grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around.

Next thing he knew he had arms wrapped around his neck and someone was kissing him. His fist instinct was to go with the flow so to speak then he heard a definite "Uh-hum!" from behind him. He looked down and realized it was the one person he really didn't want to see. Kikyou gave him a pouting look as he pulled her arms away from his neck. He hesitantly turned around to find a very irritated Kagome glaring at him. He smiled weakly.

"Um...Kagome this is Kikyou. Kikyou this is Kagome my sort of date for tonight. Now if you will..." He lightly pushed the woman away from him.

"Oh don't let my presence stop you. I can find Sango by myself and save her from your lecherous friend. Just tell me what hotel and I will get her myself. Please continue since you seem sooo ingrossed in her affections." Kagome started to storm off but stopped as Kikyou started to talk about her.

"Oh Inu sweety, you don't need that second hand trash. You stay here with me and I'll make it all up to you. I promise. That director was nothing to me I have always just wanted you but you were gone so much. I get lonely." She cooed trying to get her arms around him again. Inuyasha held his hands in front of himself backing up a bit.

"Well interesting coming from someone who is wearing last years K-Mart clearance special. Did you buy that off the rack or did you have someone give it to you as a present? Oh I know I guess second hand trash like me wouldn't know the difference between your pathetically cheap awnsomble and my Vico original that I purchased just this day." Kagome said snidely with a sweet smile and batted her eyes.

"Well I never..." Kikyou fumed.

"And you probably never will." Kagome crossed her arms over her chest scowling. "But really I don 't have time for your little reunion. Please Inuyasha if you will just tell me where your friend took Sango then I will have my 'limo' take me there." Just then she heard her pet name being called over the loud noises around them. She spun around and saw the one man that could help her to make her point very clear to this wanna be. Kagome smiled wickedly.

"Kag darling that dress is definitely you. You really should take me up on my offer you know. We could make beautiful clothes together. My brains and flare for style and that cute little body of yours. Oh dear have mercy. But anyway did my ladies take care of you properly or do I have to spank them." The man giggled femaninly even though he had several very pretty girls hanging off him that looked like models. The strange man imbraced her and they did a peck to each others cheek like most rich snotty people do.

"Vico it is so nice to see you. It is so nice to see you but I am afraid I have to leave in a few moments. As for your girls they were absolutely fabulous and more then helpful. I want to thank you for keeping the store open for me late on such short notice. You are my main man you know that." She smiled smuggle as she turned around to face Kikyou. He hugged Kagome tightly and grinned happily. Kikyou's mouth was hanging open. She knew full and well who this strange man was.

Inuyasha watched this strange man come through the crowd of people and start drooling over his girl. 'Wait did I say my girl? I hardly know her.' He thought as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. The guy was definitely gay and if he wasn't he should be. He wore his shirt open under his white suit with a few gold chains and even earrings. His fingers were adorned with several very expensive looking rings and he had his long multi colored hair pulled back at the nap of his neck with a long scarf. The guys voice was very girly to say the least. Inuyasha glared at him when he hugged and kissed the girl of his desires. This whole situation did not bode well for a new relationship just starting out.

"Oh Kag who is your gorgeous friend?" Vico smiled widely and started to walk forward. Kikyou put on her prettiest smile as she stepped forward to meet the one designer she had been desperately trying to get an interview with. He could make her modeling career for her if she could get him to look at her portfolio.

"Mr. Vico I have been trying..." She started but the man only brushed her off as he passed her by and went behind her. She turned slowly realizing he wasn't talking about her. Even worse he was standing grinning like a fool at Inuyasha who had a very freaked out scared look on his face. Kagome held back a giggle.

"Vico this is Inuyasha and he is more of an acquaintance really." She winked at Inuyasha playfully. He looked back at her with pleading eyes wishing she would get this guy away from him. "I am sure he would just 'love' to get to know you but before you whisk him off I need that hotel. Inuyasha?" The poor guy was dumbfounded. She was actually going to leave him to this gay vulture.

"Umm....I...I...I should probably just take you there. That is it." He tried to push his way past Kikyou but between her and the other ladies that were hovering around the man he was having a hard time getting through. He really didn't want to make a scene.

"Oh no please don't let me interrupt your little make up session with...um..what was your name? Oh yes Kickyou. I guess if you can't 'pull' yourself away then I will just ask my driver to take me all over until I find it. Nice to meet you Inuyasha. Vico it has been a pleasure I will see you at the club. Chow!" With that she spun around and walked as seductively as she could toward the entrance. Inuyasha watched unable to fathom what she had just left him in the middle of. This guy was man-handling him like an over affectionate woman talking about his new men's line collection while Kikyou was pushing on the other side of him trying to get this Vico guy's attention. As he watched Kagome walk away he felt like his heart would drop into his stomach but then she stopped and glanced back at him. She blew him a kiss then grinned as she used her index finger signaling him to follow her out.

"Excuse me." He said and pushed his way past not taking his eyes off her. He dashed through the crowd trying to catch her before she disappeared completely. The cool air hit him in the face with a refreshing breeze and he caught her scent. He looked in front of him at the black limo and saw a sexy leg being pulled in as the driver held the door.

"Kagome?? Please wait I can explain. Kagome!" The limo driver looked at him questioningly as he ran toward the car.

"It's ok Charlie." Kagome smiled and leaned forward a little so she could see the look on Inuyasha's face. Charlie held the door for him as he stepped into the plush car and sat next to her. They sat in silence until Charlie opened the window and asked where he was to take them.

"Oh The Empierium." Inuyasha said quickly then looked at Kagome who just stared out the window quietly. He looked at her desperately trying to think of what to say. Her scent filled the car making it hard for him to concentrate. Finally in defeat he knew he had to start before it was too late. "Look Kagome I am sorry about Kikyou." He began slowly.

"You don't have to explain really it isn't like we were on a date or anything. Although you were acting like you were 'unattached'. I should be the one apologizing for the scene with Vico. I shouldn't have left you there mercilessly." She still stared out the window watching the various people and store windows of the down town area they drove through.

"No that isn't it. We used to go out but broke up. It has been a long time now and every once in a while she does that. Tracks me down when she is out of money and tries to get me back. I am really sorry I shouldn't have embarrassed you by kissing her like that. I just got caught off guard. Regardless of my looks I really don't get that many women to notice me and are attracted to even fewer." He said sarcastically trying to lighten the mood with the last part.

"Oh you get more looks then you think. But you have the kind of looks most women don't think they have a chance for so they don't bother." She turned and looked at him with a serene smile. He stared into those deep brown eyes and felt like melting.

"Sure I do. That sounds more like what most guys probably think about you." He commented not taking his eyes from hers. She cocked her head to one side shyly and grinned.

"Oh and how would you know that?" She glanced back at him.

"Because that was what I was thinking when I fist saw you standing at the door with Sango." He grinned then leaned closer to her. She slid back a little from him but was stopped by the edge of the seat. Grinning like a lion drawing near its prey he slid close enough that his nose almost touched hers. "Are you nervous?" He asked a little devilish grin tugged at the corner of his lips. Slowly he began to close the distance between their lips.

"Me nervous? Never." She tried to lean back more but was causing her self to slide down in the seat.

"You should be foolish one." He whispered and pressed his lips against her soft ones. At first she slid down until there was no where to go. He was over the top of her as her back rested on the seat. His tongue ran across her lower lip asking for a more passionate kiss. Hesitantly she let him have access to her mouth and didn't regret a minute of it. That kiss was the most heavenly she had ever experienced. It caused shivers to run through her whole body unlike anything that had happened before. Without warning she moaned involuntarily and unable to contain her excitement any longer.

He took that as a sign and smiled a little before continuing with his caresses running his hand down the smooth curves of her side to her thigh then back up her hip and to the small of her back. He ran his fingers gently up her spine causing her body to shiver more. This reaction pleased him immensely causing more arousal in him. She wasn't with out her own vices. She had one hand running her fingers through his hair while the other arm snaked under his jacket and was gently clawing at his back through his shirt. He almost lost complete control when she slid the hand down to the small of his back and ran the tips of her fingers just under the belt of his pants and pushed gently pulling him closer. This time he groaned and a growl immited from his chest so low it sounded more like a purr to her but was still very erotic.

This probably would have went on for some time or even went farther if they hadn't been interrupted by Charlie who simply tapped on the glass and said they were there with out looking back. They looked into eachother's eyes for a moment trying to catch their breath but quickly straightened themselves up when they heard Charlie's car door close as he got out to open theirs for them. Inuyasha got out first then held out a hand for Kagome to assist her out. She pulled the hem of her short dress down a bit as she stepped out. She glanced at Charlie embarrassed a bit but he gave her a knowing smile. Just as they started toward the door Charlie asked if he should stay or return in the morning. Kagome was about to answer but Inuyasha informed him that he would make sure she got home safely. Charlie grinned at him then replied he couldn't leave her it was his job to transport her while she was in town.

"I'll call you on the phone when I need you." Kagome said with out taking her eyes from Inuyasha's. He smiled at her feeling more complete then he ever had. They didn't wait to see if Charlie left or remained in the parking lot. As they walked with their arms around each other they didn't even notice the doorman, the counter clerk or anyone that might have been in the lobby as they made their way to the elevator. The ride up to the hotel suite was quiet. Neither of them could figure out where that burst of passion had come from. They were literally strangers to be truthful. When they did make eye contact they would smile at eachother then blush before turning to look at something else. They walked in silence down the quiet hall to the door. Inuyasha turned and looked at her before opening it feeling the need to clarify something.

"Kagome....I wanted...." he stumbled over his words. 'What is wrong with me? I can speak in front of a convention but can't say what I feel to this girl in front of me. She smiled up at him expectantly so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I..just wanted to...tell... you that if you don't....you know...umm..want to stay here after we get Songo...I would understand completely." He looked at her hopefully. That same serene smile on her lips she raised her hand to his cheek and brushed her fingers down it to his chin.

"Just open the door would you already. We'll just take it one step at a time." She grinned as he let out the air he had been holding. The room was partially lit by a lamp that set on a stand half way down the hall toward the bedrooms. When they walked in Inuyasha took his jacket off and laid it on the back of the couch then turned on a lamp next to it. He glanced at Kagome but she seemed entranced by the room.

"Pretty nice suites huh?" He smiled as she knodded. "The view is great." He pointed toward the balcony. She set her purse on the couch below where he had laid his jacket and walked that direction. "I guess I should check to see if they came here or not." She glanced at him and he walked quietly down the hall toward Miroku's bedroom. When he got to the partially opened door he listened intently to be sure he didn't interrupt something. That would be way to embarrassing. There was something that sounded almost like moaning. He could feel his face heat up from a blush and was glad Kagome was not there to see it. Careful not to open the door more he leaned closer to make sure. It wasn't moaning, it was snoring. He quietly opened the door to a very cute scene. He just had to show Kagome so he tiptoed back down the hall where he found her trying to figure out where the door to the balcony was.

"Pssst." He motioned for her to come with him when she looked at him questioningly.

He took her hand and placed a finger over his lips to show they needed to be quiet then led the way down the hall to the open door. She had to stifle a giggle when she saw the two of them. They had both passed out on top of his bed completely clothed. Sango was on her back with her right arm flung up so her hand rested at the same level as her head. Miroku was on his stomach with his right hand resting on her right hand and their fingers were laced tightly together.

"That is really cute." She whispered. "We better let them sleep it off." She closed the door quietly then walked with Inuyasha back down the hall toward the living room.

"Want some of that coffee I mentioned earlier? Of course I didn't mean in my hotel room but since we are here I can make some." He offered. She knodded and sat on the couch to wait for him. 'Thank god for instant coffee.' He thought and quickly heated up some water in the microwave. It only took about 3 minutes before he came in and offered her a cup of steaming brew. She smiled and sipped it gingerly testing it for heat.

"Very good thanks this will help to wake me up." She smiled and took another sip.

"Oh hey that view come on you have to see it. I always ask for this room when we have to come here it is the best in the whole place." He stood with his coffee and walked over to the balcony door. He held open the curtain so she could walk in front of him. It was breath taking. The lights of city spread out to the right and left with the harbor directly in front of them. The many different boats had lights glowing in the darkness along their decks and masts while the water of the ocean reflected the light cast down by the moon and stars giving it all an enchanting effect. Kagome sighed heavily and leaned into Inuyasha's shoulder.

"This is really nice. Why don't I get rooms like this?" She scoffed sarcastically with a giggle. Inuyasha watched her eyes sparkle in the light and the way her lips moved as she talked. Her laugh was like music to his ears. For the life of him he couldn't figure out what it was about her that he was so attracted to. She was absolutely beautiful. Not only physically but spiritually as well. It was if she glowed. She turned and looked at him smiling. He blushed a little from getting caught staring. "What?" She asked jokingly and poked him in the side with her finger. He flinched a little since he was a bit ticklish there. She raised and eyebrow and grinned evilly. "Are we a little jumpy?" She poked at him again. He dodged this time and grabbed for her hand catching her wrist with his free hand. "Oh you think you can stop me with one hand?" She laughed merrily. He laughed with her and set his cup on the patio table quickly so he could grab hers from her other free hand before she could get him with it.

"Don't tell me you like to wrestle? I thought mature women didn't like things like that." He grinned as he began backing into the room again to avoid any accidents on the balcony.

"Nobody has ever accused me of being mature." She scoffed back at him. He tried to get her other hand that was darting around his sides trying to get a tickle in where she could. He would flinch when she made contact and was going to assault her with tickles of his own but she was pretty fast with that small hand of hers. It was all he could do to keep it way from his sides. She would giggle maniacally.

"You better stop." He laughed as she got his side again. When they got close enough to the couch he tackled her on it and held her hand over her head. They both giggled like children for a few minutes then he finally got his wits back and realized the position they were in. He looked at her and sighed at he ran the back of his fingers down her cheek. "God you are so beautiful." He said out loud before he could stop himself. She blushed but smiled at him. He leaned down and kissed her lightly testing her mood. When she returned it he made it more passionate. Their hearts beat wildly in their bodies with each touch of gentle fingers on sensative skin. His body was getting more aroused by the minute. She turned him on like no other woman ever had. Finally in frustration he made himself pull away from her and set up on the couch. She looked at him confused for a second.

"Is something wrong?" Her eyes searched his for a reason why he would stop in the middle the most wonderful feeling she had ever had.

"I...I'm not like this. Really...you may not believe me...but I don't just go after every beautiful woman like a dog in heat. Sorry for the expression..." He looked at her shocked face. His face turned several shades of red as he stared at the floor. He felt like he sounded so stupid.

"I don't normally do this either but it feels so right. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just push too hard sometimes." She slid her legs off the couch trying to think of what to do next. Inuyasha jerked his head up and looked at her. "I just got carried away. No harm really sorry." She started to get up with a menagerie of emotions showing in her eyes. He could smell the confusion, fear, then sadness as each swept through her heart. He gently reached out for her hand and pulled her back down.

"No it isn't like that. I started it and I didn't mean to push you into something you aren't ready for. I've just never felt like this with anyone. It is sort of scary in a way. But you didn't do anything." He reassured her. Slowly he cupped his hand over her cheek and ran his thumb across her lips. She closed her eyes and sighed. "There is something about you... I don't know what it is....but I want more then just this. I...I..." Kagome placed a slender finger over his lips then leaned in and kissed him gently.

"If I wasn't ready or willing then I wouldn't be here." Slowly she kissed the corners of his mouth then along his jaw and down his neck. He moaned unable to hold back any longer. He took her mouth with his passionately forgetting his inhibitions. Gently he picked her up and carried her into his room.
