DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter Nineteen: Regaining What Was Once Lost
That night, Kagome dressed in a black strapless dress that had one side reach her mid-calf while the other side ended just above her knee. Silver glittery butterflies decorated her right side. Kagome then decided to wear black heels. She wore a pair of diamond stud earrings and a silver chain with a butterfly pendant. She also put on some silver bangles to complete her outfit.
Kagome then turned to the mirror to admire her reflection. She then sat down at her dresser and decided to leave her hair down and added some silver eyeliner and a bit of pink lip gloss on.
Miroku was done long before she was and was sitting patiently on the couch waiting for her. Kagome stepped into the living room and announced that she was ready. She pretended to be fine by smiling really big and declared that they were going to have such a fun night together with their friends. But Miroku saw right through her act.
"You don't have to pretend that you're so happy, Kagome," Miroku stated calmly. "You can go ahead and admit that you would be happy if your date was actually Inuyasha this time."
"No," Kagome denied. "That's not what I mean. I mean, I'll really be happy tonight because we are just going to enjoy each other's company."
Miroku knew that Kagome was lying and that she was hurting inside, but he let is slide. Miroku and Kagome then walked out to his car. The others had agreed that they would actually meet at the restaurant.
When they arrived, Kagome noticed that Sango was already waiting for them and Inuyasha was standing as far away from Kikyo as possible. Naraku stood calmly next to Kikyo. Kikyo did not take the hint that Inuyasha was sending her and still continued talk to Inuyasha. They were waiting for Rin and Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was a bit surprised because his brother was never late for any kind of appointment. He was the type that had to have everything organized and on schedule or chaos would break loose.
Inuyasha had looked at Kagome and was openly showing how impressed he was of her outfit. Kagome blushed when she noticed Inuyasha staring at her. She then looked away quickly and jumped into a conversation with Sango. Sango, in the meantime, had noticed that Kagome was standing way too far from Kagome that she nudged Kagome closer to Inuyasha. Unfortunately for Kagome, she slipped and was about to fall. Kagome waited for a painful landing, but it never came. Someone's arms caught her before she actually fell. Kagome opened her eyes to find herself in Naraku's arms.
"Uh," Kagome was shocked that Naraku had intercepted her fall. "Thank you."
"Of course, Kagome," Naraku smiled. "Anytime."
His arms remained around her waist and Kagome shifted uncomfortably. Inuyasha growled at Naraku, "Let her go now! You're not allowed to touch her!"
Kagome shook her head as she felt the oncoming of a major headache. It was not supposed to happen this way. Inuyasha was supposed to be paying attention to Kikyo, and here he was, constantly looking at Kagome. Naraku was supposed to stay out of the way.
Kagome touched Inuyasha's shoulder lightly to calm him down. His anger seemed to fade away immediately. Kagome was about to remove her hand when Inuyasha pulled his hand up to hold it there. He then stared intently into Kagome's eyes. She wanted to look away, but his piercing amber eyes held her captive. Luckily for her, she was released out of her trance by the interruption that took the form of Rin's and Sesshomaru's arrival.
The couple walked in casually and the entire group headed to their table. Sango pushed Inuyasha into a chair on the right side of Kagome and glared at Kikyo, daring her to sit next to Inuyasha. Kikyo, being a dense person, ignored the hint and occupied the seat on the other side of Inuyasha. Naraku had also made sure to sit next to Kagome.
The meal went on silently, but Kagome barely ate any of her food. She just played with her food. After dinner, Rin announced that they were going to a dancing club. Miroku, Sango, Rin, and Sesshomaru had secretly planned to go to the club and force Kagome and Inuyasha to dance together. They were determined to put the couple together again.
When they arrived at the club, Kagome resorted to just sitting at a table by herself. She had encouraged the others to dance. Sango and Rin dragged their boyfriends to the dancing floor despite their protests about not being able to dance.
Kikyo then turned towards Inuyasha and latched herself onto his arm. "Won't you come out there and dance with me?" she asked seductively. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He was so annoyed with her. She refused to give up. All throughout dinner she was constantly talking to him. She also tried to touch him and he had to slap her hands away numerous times. She was slowly driving him insane and Kagome thought that this was good for him?
Inuyasha then turned to Kagome and she looked away. The sight of Kikyo draping herself all over Inuyasha made her feel a pang of jealous. 'Stop this,' she berated herself mentally. 'You pushed Inuyasha away and tried to give them a chance. You have no right to be jealous.'
The mental beating she gave herself did little to ease the pain that she felt when she saw Kikyo so near Inuyasha. Naraku then tapped Kagome on her shoulder to get her attention.
"Will you join me in a dance?" Naraku asked her, while flashing a pleasant smile at her.
Hoping to get Inuyasha to actually dance with Kikyo, Kagome agreed to Naraku's offer. Naraku then took his hand and led her to the dance floor. Inuyasha, seeing this occur right before his eyes, snapped and dragged Kikyo to the dance floor too.
Inuyasha and Kikyo danced close to Kagome and Naraku. Sango and Rin also noticed this and steered their boyfriends closer. Knowing Inuyasha's temper, they were hoping to calm down Inuyasha if anything happened.
The music was techno and the couples were dancing to the music wildly. Kagome didn't really feel like dancing so she only followed Naraku's lead. Inuyasha was disgusted with Kikyo. She kept on trying to lean even closer to Inuyasha, but he made sure to keep his distance. He looked over at Naraku and Kagome and growled deeply at Naraku.
Naraku had pressed himself closer to Kagome and she was feeling very uncomfortable at this. She kept on trying to push herself away from Naraku. Naraku then groped her and Kagome then hissed at him. "Let go of me now!"
Naraku ignored her, but suddenly, he felt himself being lifted in the air.
"Didn't you hear her?!" Inuyasha growled at Naraku. His eyes were turning red and Naraku could sense that he was in danger. "She told you to let go of her! How dare you lay a finger on my Kagome?!"
Sesshomaru pushed his way through the crowd and tried to get Inuyasha to put down Naraku. Kagome was crying when she saw Inuyasha. He looked so mad and ready to rip Naraku apart. It took both Sesshomaru and Miroku to get Naraku free, but not without some damages. Inuyasha had punched Naraku in the eye and was getting ready to launch himself at Naraku again. Kagome saw that the two boys would not be able to hold back Inuyasha any longer so she jumped in and hugged Inuyasha. He calmed down when he felt Kagome's arms wrap around him.
"Stay away from her," Inuyasha threatened Naraku. Naraku now sported a busted lip and multiply bruises on his body and a black eye.
Inuyasha then turned to Kagome and put an arm around her waist. "We need to talk. Now."
Kagome nodded her head and allowed Inuyasha to lead her outside. They walked past Kikyo and Inuyasha had the urge to slap her, but refrained himself from doing so when Sango and Rin both spoke up.
"We'll take care of her," Sango reassured Inuyasha. She then got mischievous glint in her eyes. She would make sure that Kikyo never interfered with Inuyasha and Kagome again.
When they were both outside, Inuyasha leaned against the wall and hugged Kagome to him. For awhile, they just stood there in silence. Kagome began to calm down while Inuyasha's hand rubbed her back comfortingly.
"We really need to talk, Kagome," Inuyasha whispered to Kagome. He looked down at her face. She nodded to indicate that he could go on.
"I love you," Inuyasha confessed. "I want us back together again.
Kagome had stiffened when she heard him. "I love you too, Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. "But..."
"Stop," Inuyasha gently commanded her. He then covered her lips with his own. It was a brief kiss and he finally let go. Kagome was speechless and she stared into Inuyasha's amber eyes. "I love you Kagome. And you say that you want me to be happy, so, please don't try to push me away from you and back to Kikyo."
Kagome hugged Inuyasha. "I'm so sorry Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. "I thought that you might still love her and that...you only saw a reflection of her in me."
Inuyasha suddenly snapped up and stared into Kagome's eyes. "You think that I would use you like that?!" Inuyasha yelled. "I would never do that!"
Kagome cringed at the tone of his voice. Inuyasha, seeing this, immediately calmed down and gathered her into his arms. "I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't' mean to make you cry, but I just couldn't believe that you would think that way of me."
"I'm really sorry Inuyasha," Kagome cried and hugged him even closer to her. "I was talking to Kik...I mean, I just had that thought all of a sudden and I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry that I didn't trust you. I love you so much, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha didn't miss the abrupt stop in her speech. "You talked to Kikyo?"
Kagome shook her head but Inuyasha insisted that she explain herself.
"Well, I did have a conversation with Kikyo," Kagome admitted. "She claimed that she had changed and that she deserved a second chance. I couldn't bear to see someone else suffer because of me, so I...broke up with you."
"Keh," Inuyasha's voice sounded a bit bitter. "So you were willing to see me suffer but not anyone else?"
"No! That's not what I meant. I just thought that you would be happier with her than...with me."
Inuyasha gently wiped her tears away. "You are so silly Kagome. But maybe that's one of the reasons why I love you so much. You are so precious to me. You are beautiful, caring, and have a fiery personality that can match mine. We were meant to be together...and I won't let anything rip us apart."
Kagome smiled softly and hugged Inuyasha again. She loved the feel of his arms around her. She felt so protected just standing in his arms.
"Now that we're back to our normal relationship," Inuyasha began before Kagome cut him off.
"What do you mean normal relationship?" Kagome teased. "I never agreed to go back to our old relationship."
"But...but...I mean...after you know about Kikyo," Inuyasha stuttered.
Kagome giggled and looked at Inuyasha's panicked face. "I was just kidding. But I am serious about not wanting to go back to our old relationship. I want to start a new one because...we both know how we feel about each other. Our old relationship lacked trust...and love." Inuyasha smiled and nodded his head. Then, his eyes twinkled. "Now that it's settled, let's see how Sango is taking care of Kikyo."
Inside, Sango and Rin were having fun blackmailing Kikyo. They were threatening Kikyo about revealing her most embarrassing moments to the public if she didn't leave Inuyasha and Kagome alone. Kikyo was crying and begging them not to tell. She agreed to leave the couple alone and decided that it was time to leave.
Inuyasha and Kagome came in and Inuyasha laughed when he saw Kikyo begging on her knees to Sango and Rin. They had gathered the attention of everyone in the club and Sango and Rin were pretending to make Kikyo swear on the 'phonebook' because they couldn't find a Bible. Kikyo looked ridiculous kneeling on the floor and being forced to swear that she wouldn't bother Inuyasha and Kagome.
When it was over, she ran out of the club. Naraku followed her, but glared at Inuyasha on his way out. Kagome shook her heads at the others and scolded them for being so mean, but had to admit that it was funny.
"So, what was her secret?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Actually," Rin answered. "We really don't have a secret over her head, but Sango was so convincing that dense people like Kikyo actually fell for it."
The group laughed and they decided it was time to go home.

P.S. I also noticed that some people have asked to be in my story. I am very surprised at this, because I thought that my story was silly. Anyways, if anyone really wants to be in my story, then just let me know, and I will try my best to put you in my story. Though I do not guarantee this. So please don't be mad at me.
