DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter Ten: Keeping Things Under Control
Saturday came by in no time. That night, Kagome decided to wear a black dress with spaghetti straps. The skirt had one side ending at the middle of her thigh while the other side came to the middle of her shin. The dress had sparkles on it and she wore strapped on heels to finish her outfit.
Kagome waited patiently for Miroku to get ready. She didn't really know if going out with Kouga was the right choice, but if Inuyasha was going to go out with Kikyo, then she certainly was not going to let him live that one down.
They had agreed that Miroku and Kagome would pick up Sango and meet up with the rest at the restaurant. Sesshomaru had already booked a table for them at Shikon Palace, the newest restaurant in Tokyo.
Miroku was busy straightening his hair in front of the mirror for the tenth time when Kagome barged in to rush him. He ignored her, until he felt her small fingers grab a hold of his ear and drag him to the door.
"Ouch!" Miroku yelped. "Can you please go a little bit easier on the ear?"
"Ears?" Kagome mocked him. "I didn't notice you had any, or you would have heard me call you for the thousandth time!"
"It wasn't the thousandth time," Miroku pouted. "Besides, why are you in such a rush to be with Kouga?"
That stumped Kagome. She really didn't want to see Kouga, but instead, Inuyasha. She knew that Kikyo would be putting herself all over Inuyasha and it was her duty to put Kikyo in her place. She wanted to hurry and prevent anything from happening before they had a chance to arrive.
"I'm not eager to see Kouga," Kagome spat out. "I just want to get there on time."
"Sure," Miroku teased. "Maybe you're eager to see Inuyasha instead?"
This earned him a punch in the stomach. He whimpered at the pain.
"Are you sure you were not a boxer in your previous life?" Miroku choked out.
Kagome rolled her eyes and waved her fist in front of Miroku and he got the message. They quickly left the apartment and drove over to Sango's.
When they arrived at Sango's, Miroku stepped out of the car and went to Sango's door. When the door opened, Miroku's breath caught in his throat when he looked at Sango's dress. It was red with straps that crossed in the front and it ended just above her knew.
"So, do you like my dress?" Sango teased when she saw Miroku drool. "I take it you like it."
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her butt and let out a shriek and turned around and slapped Miroku.
"Pervert!" Sango yelled at him.
"Sorry, I just couldn't help it," Miroku explained. "You just looked so beautiful, like a goddess..."
"Oh please," Sango rolled her eyes. She then went out to the car and noticed that Kagome was sitting in the backseat. She immediately joined her friend.
"Aaw, Sango," Miroku whined. "Why aren't you sitting in the front with me?"
"Because I like to sit with important people," Sango replied.
Miroku pretended to pout until Sango leaned up and gave him a quick kiss.
"Aah! I'm scarred for life!" Kagome teased. "PDA alert!"
"PDA?" Miroku asked, thoroughly confused at his cousin's reaction.
"Public display of affection," Kagome answered with a giggle at her cousin's clueless expression.
Sango blushed at that, but was quick to retaliate. "Oh, don't you wish you could do that to Inuyasha?"
"No I don't!" Kagome denied quickly, a little too quickly. "I mean..."
"Yup," Sango continued. "I know what you mean. You would actually prefer to go a little deeper than a quick kiss, right?"
"Oh shut up," Kagome grumbled and Sango just giggled at the turn of events.
They arrived at Shikon Palace with no further mishaps.
When they arrived, Miroku helped Sango get out of the car while Kagome simply scrambled out of the car by herself. The others were waiting by the entrance and Kouga had a bouquet of carnations waiting for Kagome.
Kouga approached Kagome, and much to Inuyasha's dismay, he kissed her on the cheek and handed her the carnations.
"Thank you," Kagome murmured and allowed herself to be escorted into the restaurant. She glanced at Inuyasha when she walked by and was disgusted that Kikyo had immediately latched herself onto Inuyasha. Inuyasha, in the meantime, required Sesshomaru and Miroku to grab a hold of his arms and restrain him from jumping forward and ripping Kouga's head off.
Kagome was shocked at his behavior and wondered if she should do anything to calm Inuyasha down. She decided that the best thing was just to ignore the boys and head inside.
"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru hissed. "Calm yourself. It's your fault that you agreed to go with that slut, Kikyo."
Inuyasha's shoulders sagged when his crime had been verbalized. The group then followed Kouga and Kagome inside. The waiter led them to their reserved table. It was a circular table and Inuyasha immediately sat down on Kagome's right while Kouga had already claimed her left side. Inuyasha growled low, but Kouga heard him anyways. Kagome seemed to be oblivious to the tension between the two boys.
Kikyo pouted, "Inuyasha, I'm your date. Why do you keep on turning over there?"
Inuyasha sighed deeply and forced himself to turn back to her, although his ears remained alert to any conversation that went on between Kagome and Kouga. So far, the conversation was safe and still rated G. They were simply talking about the high schools that they came from.
When their food arrived, everyone ate quietly for the first few moments. Miroku, sensing the tension in the air, decided to break the silence by risking his life. He groped Sango.
"Pervert!" Sango screamed, her face was rapidly turning red. "Why did you do that?!" People in the restaurant turned their attention to their table.
"Huh, it's nothing," Kagome tried to excuse her group's behavior. People then shrugged her shoulders and returned to their meals.
It took them nearly five minutes to calm Sango down, but during that time, Miroku has suffered five slaps.
'The things I do for this group,' Miroku thought with a sigh as he cradled his abused cheek.
The meal resumed until they were nearly done. Music had been playing in the background and now the urge to dance overwhelmed the group. Kouga stood up and asked Kagome to dance. Inuyasha tensed up when he heard the invitation.
"Um, ok," Kagome answered, a bit hesitantly. She took his hand and allowed him to lead her to the dance floor, where a few other couples had already started to dance. Inuyasha then grabbed Kikyo's hand and rushed her to the dance floor too. He wanted to dance close enough to Kouga and Kagome to make sure that Kouga did not have his hands where they didn't' belong.
Sesshomaru and Miroku also asked their partners to dance too.
"Fine, but no tricks, Miroku," Sango warned.
Miroku raised his hand in mock surrender and quickly led her near Inuyasha. Sesshomaru and Rin also danced close to Inuyasha. Both Miroku and Sesshomaru were hoping to control Inuyasha if things got out of hand.
The first song was a slow song and Kouga tried to pull Kagome closer, but she felt kind of awkward, so she tried to keep enough distance between them. Inuyasha smirked when she did this. 'Good,' he thought. 'That moron can't do anything unless Kagome allows him.'
Now to his predicament, Kikyo had herself directly against him. Inuyasha was disgusted with her behavior and tried to push her away. But Kikyo remained stubborn to his attempts. Finally, Kikyo just reached up and kissed Inuyasha right on the mouth in front of all the dancers. Inuyasha was too shocked to push her away. Miroku, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Sango stared in shock, then they quickly turned towards Kagome.
Kagome was shocked at this. Tears began to fall down her cheeks. She pulled Kouga closer to her and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Kikyo finally let go of Inuyasha. Inuyasha was in shock. He then looked at Kagome and saw how close she was to Kouga. He was angry at the sight, but then he saw the tears that were running down her cheeks.
"Can you please take me home now?" Kagome whispered in Kouga's ear.
Kouga nodded his head and they began to leave. Inuyasha was shocked and he tried to remove Kikyo's hands from his body.
"No wait!" Inuyasha shouted at Kagome. "Please wait!"
Finally, he managed to break free from Kikyo's grasp and headed after Kagome.
He reached her and grabbed her wrist. "No, please Kagome, please let me explain."
"No!" Kagome yelled at him. "Let me go!"
"No, Kagome, you have to listen to me," Inuyasha pleaded.
"I don't have to do anything."
"Let her go, moron," Kouga spat out. Inuyasha was distracted and turned to Kouga to retort when Kagome used the distraction and yanked her wrist away from Inuyasha.
Inuyasha refused to give up. He made a grab for Kagome's arm again and barely managed to grab a hold of her elbow. Kagome was mad at this and she slapped him.
Inuyasha took a step back, surprised that Kagome had slapped him.
"Stop hurting me Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled at him before she dragged Kouga out to his car.
Inuyasha was too stunned to speak. Miroku felt sorry for Inuyasha. Rin and Sango were glaring at Kikyo, and they were going to make her pay for her actions. Sesshomaru muttered, "Baka." But deep down, he felt sorry for his brother.
Miroku put a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. Sango asked the question, "Inuyasha, you didn't really want to kiss Kikyo right?"
"Of course not!" Inuyasha yelled vehemently. Sango nodded her head and Rin hugged Inuyasha. "We'll help you sort things out with Kagome."
Inuyasha had to smile. He really appreciated his friends' efforts. "Now, where's that whore Kikyo?"
Inuyasha and the others turned around, but found out that Kikyo had already escaped. Inuyasha sighed and prepared himself to go apologize to Kagome.
