I don't own Inuyasha so don't even try and sue me..

Welcome and enjoy the new chapter of:

Messing Around

" Kagome why aren't you ready!?" yelled Sango upon seeing her friend. Kagome who was wearing her pink fluffy pajamas looked down at herself.

" I'm not going Sango," she said opening the door for her friend to enter. Sango just stared open mouthed.

" What?! We have to go! It's Kouga's party, you know the only reason he's having one is to see you."

Kagome sighed, " Look Sango I just don't really feel like going. You can still go without me." Sango frowned looking at her friend. " Look Kagome I know your upset about your mum leaving but you have to get out. You haven't left your house all week. I think Kouga's party will be good for you."

" It's not about my mother I just don't want to go," insisted Kagome although she knew that Sango could tell she was lying. Sighing Sango put an arm around her best friend.

" Kagome I know your upset, but you shouldn't let this stop you from living your life. Live life like it's meant to be lived."

At this Kagome looked at Sango, her expression changing, " What did you say?"

" Uh, get up and get out?" guess Sango not really remembering.

" No at the end."

" Oh," she said in realization. " Live life like it's meant to be lived?" Kagome smiled at the memory of Blade saying the same thing before he left.

Sniffing she replied, " Okay I'll go." Sango face lit up with joy.

" Oh my god thank you so much Kagome. I'll never forget this." Sango engulfed Kagome in a massive hug. Kagome just smiled into her friends shoulder trying to go by the advice Blade had left her with. It had been a week since her encounter with him yet she couldn't get him out of her mind.

Not just his looks but also his personality. He was so carefree, annoying but carefree. She hadn't met anyone who could get a reaction out of her like he could.

" Okay Kagome lets get you ready," said Sango grabbing Kagome's arm and dragging her up the stairs. Sango dragged Kagome all the way to her room before sitting her on the bed and rummaging through her wardrobe.

" Hey Kagome where did you put that top you bought last week?"

" In the back, with all my black clothing. It'll be right at the end of the hanger." Kagome watched as Sango threw all her clothes out of her cupboard looking for the top.

" Hey Kagome what's this?" Sango held up a black jacket. " It looks like a guys jacket," said Sango in a suggestive tone.

" That's because it is." Kagome could see Sango's eyes light up with joy.

" So you got lucky? It was Kouga wasn't it?"

" No! It's not what you think. My mum's lawyer came over with his younger brother. He left his jacket here by accident. I was keeping it here for when he comes back to get it. I doubt he would leave a $2000 jacket here and not come back to get it."

" Yah I suppose. Oh hey I found the top!" Sango grabbed it off the hanger and threw it at Kagome. " Put it on while I find the jeans," she ordered. Kagome stripped from her pajama top and put on the black silk halter.

Kagome examined herself then pointed out to Sango, " Hey, I can't wear a bra with this."

Sango popped her head out of the cupboard. " Oh don't worry about it. Just don't do too much jumping and make sure you tie up the strings really tight." Kagome nodded then made sure to tie the back up with double knots. She still felt a bit uncomfortable wearing something so… raunchy? She wasn't sure the word to describe how she looked but she knew she wouldn't want to be perceived like that.

" Ah ha found them." Sango grabbed the pair of jeans then threw them at Kagome to. " Okay I'm going to find some makeup that'll match your outfit." She left into the bathroom ransacking Kagome's makeup case.

Kagome quickly changed from her pj pants to the pair of tight fitting jeans Sango had thrown at her. Looking in the mirror she examined her appearance.

" Oh very nice," complimented Sango, holding a handful of make up.

" Well I don't know. I look like a hooker like this." Kagome turned around to see her exposed back in the mirror.

" No I think you show enough to make guys want you but cover enough to make sure they know they can't have you. Kagome you look sexy just accept it." Kagome sighed and nodded. " Okay now hold still while I do your makeup." Kagome obliged and pouted her lips.

Once Sango was done Kagome turned to look at herself in the mirror. " Wow Sango, that actually looks pretty good."

" What, like there was any doubt," the girl laughed. She had applied a light powder to stop shine and had done a smoky black eye shadow. On her lips Sango had applied a shimmery light lip-gloss just to give her lips more of a shine. " Okay now that your done I need to do mine." Sango stripped off the coat she was wearing to reveal a tight fitting black and pink dress. The dress was made with black material and was off the shoulder, it had pink embroidery all down the right hand side.

" Wow Sango that dress looks amazing!"

" Thanks," said Sango happily turning in front of the mirror. " All I need to do is my make-up and you're hair and then we're done."

Sango wasted no time in grabbing the waver and making Kagome's hair wavy but manageable. She did this while applying mascara and lipstick to herself. Kagome couldn't help but think what a talent for multitasking Sango had.

After ten minutes of pulling and brushing Sango had finished Kagome's hair and her make-up. " Okay let's go girl," said Sango pulling Kagome off the bed and racing down the stairs. " We're already 10 minutes late." Kagome laughed at her friend's enthusiasm.

" Why is it you want to go so bad?" asked Kagome running after her best friend.

" Uh, no reason," Sango blushed. Kagome smiled and tried again,

" Okay who is it?"

" No one," Sango insisted. Kagome looked at her friend scrutinizing her every move. Sango faltered under Kagome's gaze.

" Ah ha! I knew it. Who is he?"

" Just some guy. Okay let's get into the car," Sango quickly unlocked the door of her red Mercedes and stepped in. A grin quickly spread across Kagome's face and she got into the car as well.

" So who is this guy then?"

" No one, now be quiet I need to concentrate while I drive otherwise we'll crash." Kagome rolled her eyes.

" You can drive while painting your toe nails. I doubt talking to me will be that much of a stretch."

" Can't talk, driving," said Sango in a concentrating voice. Kagome sighed and gave up. She would soon discover who the mystery guy was once they got to the party.

###

" Hey Inuyasha hurry up!" yelled Miroku from downstairs. Inuyasha looked at his reflection once more in the mirror.

" Arg," moaned Inuyasha once again trying to do his hair. He roughly matted his bangs over his eyes and tried to get the rest to look like he'd just woken up. " Stupid hair. I swear I'll cut you off if you don't do what I want you to," he threatened.

" Hey Inuyasha, you alright up there?"

" Fine," he growled back still trying to get his hair right. " You stupid son of a bitch," he muttered ruffling his hair.

" Ah Inuyasha?" Inuyasha turned sharply to see Miroku standing at the doorway. " Just wondering if you wanted any help."

" Nah I'm fine. My hair just refuses to be right. It makes me look like some freak with bad hair." Miroku looked at his friend and gave him a 'don't give me this shit' look.

" What's the real problem here?" Inuyasha turned away from Miroku refusing to meet his eye.

" Nothing, I'm just pissed off at my hair," he explained. Miroku tutted his tongue and said,

" You know you can't lie to me. Just tell me the truth."

Abruptly Inuyasha turned and glared, " Fine you want to know what's wrong? I'll tell you. My girlfriend dumped me because it would look bad for her image. I really cared about her and she just threw me aside. Now we are going to crash a party where she is likely to be, surrounded by ' her people'. I don't know Miroku but it just seems a bit strange to me."

Miroku adopted a thoughtful expression. " Hmm yes Inuyasha I see your point. But, wouldn't it be good if you showed up, and acted like she didn't exist. Then she would think you were over her, other than still sulking. You can even hook up with a chic. Think about it. It's the perfect revenge."

Inuyasha pondered Miroku's suggestion taking in the advantages and disadvantages. Miroku watched his friend closely trying to decipher what he was thinking. Finally Inuyasha said,

" Okay you're on Miroku. I'll find the hottest chics in the place and make them mine for the night. That should get under Kikyou's skin." Inuyasha smiled devilishly. " She won't know what hit her."

" There's my boy," said Miroku happily patting Inu on the back. " Okay well lets get going before all the honeys are taken." Inuyasha nodded and let Miroku lead him outside to his car.

###

"Come on Kagome lets go," urged Sango as they arrived at Kouga's house. Kagome looked over at the people throwing up in the front yard.

" Uh Sango, I'm starting to have second thoughts. I mean with what I'm wearing people might get the wrong idea," Kagome looked nervously to her top and once again made sure it was tied up tight.

" Kagome don't worry so much. You'll be fine. I'm here if anyone try's anything."

Kagome nervously nodded and got out of the car. Immediately she heard wolf whistles. Blushing she got straight back into the car.

" Sango I'm not going," she said folding her arms. Sango sighed and got back into the car.

" Kagome I know you feel uncomfortable but can you please just come in for a while. For me?" Kagome looked at her friend who's pleading eyes forced her to submit.

As they walked up the path towards Kouga's house Kagome started her interrogation. " So who's the reason you wanted to come to this thing so much?"

Sango blushed but forcefully replied, " No one, I'm just here because I think you need some cheering up and what better place than here." Kagome gave her a 'who do you think your kidding' look and continued her questioning.

" Do I know him?"

" No, no one does so don't bother asking anyone."

" Oh so he probably doesn't go to our school. Wait but everyone here goes to our school, unless…"

" Oh look Kouga's spotted you," Sango interrupted and pointed to Kouga. Kagome's eyes met his across the room. He gave a cocky smile and started to make his way toward her. ' Oh no,' she thought as she watched him advance on her. She liked Kouga but as a friend and nothing more. She knew he liked her but didn't have the heart to tell him she didn't feel the same. He was a good friend and she didn't want to hurt his feelings.

" Hi Kagome," he greeted upon reaching her.

" Hi Kouga," she said politely.

" Wow you look beautiful," Kagome could feel his eyes wander around her body and she felt her self-consciousness returning.

She smiled nervously, " Thanks. Uh, so are you having fun?"

His smile broadened, " Well I am now that you're here."

Kagome smiled politely saying, " Aw Kouga, that's so sweet." Sango looked between the talking couple and decided to give them a little space.

" Hey Kagome I'm just going to get some punch," with that she left Kouga and Kagome to converse more.

" So Kouga how have you been? I haven't seen you in a while."

Smiling he replied, " Well my dad's been traveling Japan so haven't seen much of him. Mum's been looking after our relatives so I've just been hanging out with the gang. How about you?"

" Oh I've been fine," she lied and folded her arms in an antisocial way. He took no notice as he went on,

" So Kagome I was thinking, would you want to come out for a ride in my Silica sometime?"

Kagome's smile faltered and she uncrossed her arms, " Um Kouga… I… I think we should just… I mean… I just think… I need to sit down for a while." Kagome pushed past him and went to sit on the couch. Kouga followed looking worriedly at her.

" Is something wrong? Are you feeling alright?"

" Yeah, I'm fine. I just have to sit down for a while." She rested her head back on the couch and closed her eyes.

###

" Wow, this party is bouncing!" yelled Miroku over the blaring sounds of the speakers. Inuyasha tried to cover his ears, as he was pretty sure he would suffer irreparable damage because of the music.

" Yeah," he nodded although looking around he had to disagree. People where out the front throwing up because they'd had to much to drink, couples where situated everywhere making out and the damn music was going to cause him to become deaf. " Hey Miroku, lets go inside!" yelled Inuyasha to his friend.

Miroku nodded while checking out some girl's ass. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and sifted through the crowd to the front door. Looking inside he saw half naked girls dancing to the rhythm of the music. 'Maybe this party is going to be better than I thought,' Inuyasha smirked and walked over to one of the better-looking girls dancing.

Coming from behind he placed his hands on her hips. He felt her react to his touch as she moved her hips from side to side. Smirking he started to move his body to the rhythm. Moving his lips to her ear he said,

" Hey, girl." She spun around to face him smiling. Upon looking at his face the girl features lit up.

" Hey sexy," she purred pulling him closer. Smirking Inuyasha placed his hands on the small of her back then slowly slid them down. The girl seemed to enjoy the contact as she giggled lightly.

" So do you go to Shikon High? Because you don't really look like you do," the girl said while pressing her hips into his body.

" Hey I'll go wherever you go honey," he said watching her blush.

" So how come you're wearing those clothes? They look like something a punk would wear."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the girl's ignorance. She may be hot but she had no brains. " What, don't tell me you've never been with a guy like me before?"

" No, punks are trouble makers, and poor," she stated matter-of-factly.

" Well that might be true, but they're hot. Don't you think?" The girl giggled and nodded pressing her body to his.

" So hey do you want to get out of here for a while?" Inuyasha asked in a husky voice. The girl smiled and faked ignorance,

" And do what?"

" I think you know," said Inuyasha as he bent his head down and gently kissed the nape of her neck. Giggling the girl grabbed his hand and led him one of the unoccupied sofas.

###

Kagome rested her head on the sofa watching her surroundings. Everywhere people where dancing and having a good time, but her, she was sitting on the couch grouching about, well she wasn't sure what.

" Hey Kagome are you feeling any better?" Kagome whipped her head around to face Kouga.

" Uh yah, I feel a little better," she replied putting her hand to her forehead. She didn't have a fever or anything but she felt really hot. It was probably because the room was over crowded.

" Well do you want to come dance for a while?" Before Kagome could answer Kouga was pulling her up off the couch. Once he pulled her off the sofa her spot was immediately taken by a couple who where making out. She looked back at the two with disgust. She knew everyone did it but still. Looking back at them she was shocked to see Rikki, a girl from her school who was labeled a ditzy slut, making out with some punk youkai looking boy. Looking more closely at the boy she realized her mistake, he was only half demon.

What was someone like that doing here anyway? Only people who went to her school were invited. Trying to get a better look at him she pulled out of Kouga's grasp and turned around. Looking at him she felt a strange sense of deja vous towards him.

" What's wrong Kagome?" asked Kouga grabbing her wrist lightly.

" Huh, what?" she was to mesmerized by the strange punk boy to notice Kouga's presence.

" I asked if you where okay, you seem a little distant."

Kagome turned to face him reluctantly, " No I'm fine. I was just… doesn't matter. Lets go dance." She placed her hand in his. He smiled and led her to the middle of the lounge where the majority of the people where dancing. Placing his hands on her hips he started to dance. Kagome, although uncomfortable, placed her hands around his neck and moved her body to the music.

###

Sango watched Kagome from where she stood next to the punch. It looked like Kagome was uncomfortable as her movements where stiff and unnatural. Sighing Sango guessed she should probably bail her friend out of the awkward situation. Putting down her cup she walked through the crowd toward Kagome. Suddenly someone grabbed her from behind.

" So you did show," said a masculine voice in her ear. She could recognize the voice anywhere.

" Miroku, what the hell do you think you are doing?" She shrugged out of his grip and turned to face him. He looked just as she'd remembered him. The scruffy skater boy who broke her heart.

" Come on Sango, you can't tell me you didn't come because you thought I would be here." As she faltered a grin spread across his face. " Sango, you look beautiful. Just as I remember you." Gently grasping her hand he placed a fleeting kiss on her knuckles. She quickly grabbed it back.

" We're over Miroku. It was your choice, you cheated on me."

" No I did not!" he stated shocked. " Okay my hands might have wondered a bit but I never had any feelings for those girls. I never did anything with them. Sango, you have to understand. I've never felt anything like what I felt when I was with you. I know you feel the same. That's why you came."

Sango's anger boiled, how dare he make presumptions about her. Okay they might have been spot on but he had no right to tell her what her motives for coming to a party where.

" Actually I came to this party because I was invited. I'm not sure I can say the same for you."

Miroku's expression remained smug. " Sango, I know you better than anyone else. You can't convince me with you're cold demeanor towards me. I can tell you're lust burns for me like the white hot intensity of a thousand suns." He subtly moved his hand to her backside.

Sango stared at him open mouthed, " You're so full of yourself. Okay maybe part of the reason why I came to this party was you. But now I see my mistake. You're nothing but a dirty pervert!" With that slapped him hard across the face and started to walk away.

Getting desperate Miroku grabbed her wrist. " Please Sango just listen to me for a second," he pleaded. Sighing she remained still.

" Sango, I've never felt this way about any other girl before. I was stupid to ever let myself loose control. You were the best thing to ever happen to me. Please just give me a chance. I can change."

" No I don't think you can. I'm sorry Miroku but I just don't think it will work," Sango could feel a lump building in her throat as she spoke the words. She really liked Miroku, but he broke her heart and she still wasn't over that. Looking down at her feet she whispered, " Sorry."

Miroku's expression dropped. Letting go of her wrist he said, " I hope you realize I won't give up." Sango didn't respond as she walked off into the crowd.

" Well this party sucks," muttered Miroku as he watched her disappear. Walking back over to the punch he subtly took out a small bottle of very strong liquor and tipped the contents into the punch bowl.

" Might as well try and get a few extra people drunk," he said to himself tapping the bottom of the bottle to make sure all of the liquid was removed.

###

The girl residing in Inuyasha's lap moaned as he moved his hands up and down her thighs. She giggled lightly placing kisses along his jaw. " So what did you saw your name was, girl?"

" I didn't. It's Jessica."

" Well Jessica, do you want to go upstairs and look around?" The girl giggled lightly as she nodded. Getting off the couch Inuyasha lead the girl through the crowd towards the stairs.

" Where do you think you're going, Inu?" asked a feminine voice from behind Inuyasha. He turned quickly to spot Kikyou staring at him with a stoic expression. Forcing a smile he said,

" Well actually me and Jessica were going upstairs to look around." Kikyou looked to the girl beside Inuyasha glaring slightly.

" We need to talk Inu."

" Well how about Jess?" asked Inuyasha motioning to the girl.

" Piss off slut. Go find some other guy to fuck." Said Kikyou levelly. The girl looked at Kikyou dumbfounded.

" Bitch," she muttered but left anyway. Inuyasha watched the girl waltz away. Snapping her fingers in front of his face Kikyou asked, " What can't you spend 5 minutes without checking out some girls ass?" Inuyasha turned his attention back to her and frowned.

" What do you want?"

" I just wanted to tell you I've seen you tonight with at least 6 different girls. I know you're doing it to get back at me and I'm just here to say it's not going to work. I know it's all meaningless and you still want me."

Inuyasha stared at his ex. ' How is she so damn perceptive?' Of course she was absolutely right. These girls meant nothing to him but he couldn't let her know that.

" If that's what you want to think then fine. I'm just having a good time, just because your jealous don't try and turn it around on me."

Kikyou's expression remained neutral. " I know you Inuyasha. These girls mean nothing. You want me and you know it." She left this statement linger until finally slinking off back to the crowd. Inuyasha frowned knowing that his little scheme had backfired. Now he had to think of something bigger, something that would really piss Kikyou off.

###

" Hey Kouga, I'm kind of thirsty," Said Kagome as she retracted from his arms.

" Oh I'll get it," Kouga offered but Kagome shook her head.

" No it's okay Kouga. I can go you just have fun, okay?"

He shrugged and continued to dance. Moving through the crowd Kagome finally reached the punch. Looking around she tried to spot Sango but couldn't see her. Grabbing a cup she dipped it into the punch and drank hurriedly. Her throat had become dry from not having liquids in a while. After she finished the cupful she grabbed another gulping it down fast. By her third she was feeling a bit strange. Disregarding the feeling she continued to drink until she had at least five cupfuls.

Once she finished she faced the room again. Everything was spinning fast and the music and lights where getting to her. ' What's wrong with me?' she thought while her vision doubled. Stumbling through the crowd she tried to find Sango.

" Sango…" she yelled slightly slurred. Stumbling past people she tried desperately to find her best friend. Feeling light headed and giggling she could feel herself falling. Suddenly she was grabbed around the waist by strong hands. " Sango?" she asked trying to suppress the food threatening to come up.

" Nope, sorry girl I'm not her," said a masculine voice from above her.

" Who are you then? Huh, well who are ya?" she asked aggressively trying to get up. She head the boy sigh and lift her to a standing position. She spun on the balls of her feet to face him. However with her lack of balance she ended up falling into him.

" Whoa girl, you need to settle down a bit," said the boy as she held her upright by her shoulders.

" Who are you to tell ME what to do!" she yelled trying to shrug him off. " Sango, Sango where are you!?"

" Look, I don't think you should be here in your condition. Why don't we go upstairs and try to get you sobered up?"

" What condition? And why would I need to sober up? I'm not drunk, I never drink alcomahol… hiccup"

" Okay well I think we still better get you out of here before you do something you'll regret."

" Oh… I see. You want me to go upstairs with you. I'm not a naïve little girl you know. I know what that means!"

" Oh and what you that be?" amusement flickered through his voice. For the first time Kagome looked up at him. Seeing his rugged good looks and skater clothes she recognized him instantly.

" Hey I know you," she whispered. Inuyasha looked down at her shock in his eyes. ' Oh no, busted.'

" You're that hot skater guy that was making out with Rikki," she said giggling.

" Uh yeah… that's who I am. Now lets go upstairs where you can relax."

" I don't think so mister. Just because you're hot doesn't mean I'm going to let you take advantage of me!" Inuyasha stared at the girl as if she was crazy.

" Why would I want to take advantage of you? Look I'm just trying to help, if you don't want it then fine. But I'm warning you right now you'll regret it if you stay here."

Kagome huffed, " Whatever punk boy, I'm out of here." She stumbled out of his grasp and pushed her way through the crowd.

" Sango! Sango! You hoo? Sango where are you?" Bumping into people continuously Kagome could feel her vomit rising again.

" Hey Kagome!" She turned her head to see Kouga making his way towards her. ' Oh no' she thought she tried to keep from throwing up.

" Kagome are you alright? You don't look to good?" Kagome couldn't help but giggle as she said,

" I'm fine Kouga, just the ground keeps on moving. It's hard to balance."

Kouga looked at her appearance before realization hit him. " You're drunk."

" No I don't drink. You know that! Besides the only think I drank tonight was that punch," Kagome smiled widely and slumped into his arms. " You're such a good friend Kouga."

" Friend?" he asked.

" Yeah the bestest friend I could ever wish for. You're like my big brother. But you know I don't like you anymore than just a friend. I just didn't want to tell you because I thought it might hurt your feelings. Isn't that funny?" she giggled uncontrollably. She was to drunk to notice as he face fell and sadness crossed his features.

" Yeah Kagome that's really funny, okay look I want you to wait here while I find Sango. Don't move, do you understand me?" She nodded vigorously smiling happily. He grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her down onto a seat. After making sure she was all right he left.

Kagome watched the crowd move, swaying to the music. Her eyes felt really heavy and she could feel herself sliding down the couch. ' What have I gotten myself into?' she thought her head pounding.

Abruptly the music changed to get low. Kagome smiled broadly.

" I love this song!" she screamed getting up and running into the crowd. Her body moved to the music as she forgot about her nausea and headache. She just listened to the music and let her body move.

' 3, 6, 9 damn you're fine…

booty shock it shake it to me one more time…

get low…

get low…

get low…' She laughed as she felt a guy come up behind her and move his hands over her body. She turned and smiled seductively. She backed up motioning him to her with her finger. She looked back and spotted a table. Climbing onto it she started to dance again.

The guy followed her up and placed his hands on her hips. She did a body roll down so she was squatting then straightened her legs so her ass was at groping level. She then did another body roll up. Shaking her hips to the music. She turned to face the guy smiling.

" So you like what you see?" she laughed when he hastily nodded his head. " Well get ready then," she said pushing him back off the table so she was solitary. The song changed to Boom Boom by Britney Spears causing Kagome to smirk. She moved her body sensually to the beat of the song. She was barely aware of the crowds that were now watching her cheering.

She started to move her hands around her body seductively. She then moved her hands to the back of her top. Slowly she undid one of the ties. The crowd starting screaming louder. She then moved her hand to the next tie, the one currently holding her top to her body. Slowly, teasingly she grabbed it pulling slightly. Before she got to far she felt someone grab her hand.

She turned to see the guy from before.

" What do you want?" she asked angrily. " I was having fun!"

Inuyasha quickly grabbed the stings of the back of her top and tied them securely to the girl. " Yeah I'm sure you were, but I'm afraid you'll have to stop there. I know you can't think straight now but in the morning you'll be regretting this all."

" No I won't! I'm a big girl I know what I'm doing!" she yelled. Inuyasha could barely hear her over the booing of the crowd surrounding the table. Getting fed up he grabbed her around her waist and threw her over his shoulder.

" I'm getting you out of here. You might not now but in the morning you'll be thanking me."

" No I won't. I hate you! Let me go!" She yelled thumping hard on his back.

In a calming voice he said, " Look girl just try and relax. I'm not going to do anything to you."

" I don't believe you!"

" Fine then don't but I'm not letting you go until you're sober." Inuyasha climbed the step to the second story. Kicking open a door to a bedroom he dumped Kagome onto a bed. " Now we're just going to sit here until this party is over."

" Awe but that is boring!" she whined. Inuyasha crossed his arms and sat next to her,

" I don't care. I'm not letting you make an idiot out of yourself."

" What do you care if I make an idiot out of myself?"

" I know you're not like that. You're better than that." Kagome turned to him a smile on her face.

" Awe that is so sweet!" Kagome wiggled closer to Inuyasha smiling.

Inuyasha looked at her oddly." Oi girl, what are you doing?"

" I'm going to kiss you stupid!"

A shocked expression crossed Inuyasha's face. Quickly he put up his hands and said, " Ah no I don't think that's such a great id…" Kagome however didn't notice and leaned forward crushing her lips into Inuyasha's. She opened her mouth and flicked her tongue against his bottom lip. He obliged as he opened his mouth willingly. Kagome deepened the kiss as she massaged his tongue with her own. Inuyasha had to bite back a groan.

He could taste the alcohol in her mouth, but it tasted more like… punch. Inuyasha abruptly broke away from the kiss.

" I'll kill Miroku."

Kagome pouted as she felt him break away. Frowning she asked, " What's wrong?"

" You're drunk, this isn't right."

Anger surged through Kagome, " I know what I'm doing. I'm not a child I understand the consequences! Why does everyone think I can't handle myself? Kouga thinks I need him to protect me, Sango thinks I'm unstable and my mother couldn't give a shit! Well guess what?! I'm fine, there is nothing wrong with me and I know what I'm doing!" She crushed her lips into his once again. Pushing him back onto the bed she crawled on top of him. She pulled is shirt off placing kisses on his chest.

" No, you're not thinking straight," said Inuyasha pushing her away from him. He expected her to burst out in another rage but it never came. Instead her face screwed up as tears streamed down her face.

" You don't want me. No one does," she sobbed getting off him. Inuyasha pushed himself onto his elbows and looked to the girl sobbing at the edge of the bed.

" What? I never said I didn't want you, but you're drunk. I couldn't take advantage of you like that."

She didn't seem to hear him as she said, " Everyone leaves me, no one cares about me."

" That can't be true. How about your parents?"

A spiteful smile twisted on her features. " My dad's dead. I never really see my mother anymore. She left my brother and me in the care of our nanny. "

" Well how about your friends?"

Kagome smiled slightly. " Sango's great, but she can only be there so much for me. She has her own life." Her smile faltered as tears started to stream down her face again. " I have no one." Inuyasha awkwardly patted the girls back. He wasn't used to people being emotional around him. He had no idea what he was meant to do.

" Well ah… how about a boyfriend?"

Sobbing she said, " I don't have one. I need to concentrate on school. Plus I don't feel that way about anyone I know."

" Oh well… ah… okay look girl I'm not very good at this. But I do know this, no one is ever alone. No matter what happens there will always be someone there for you," he smiled reassuringly. " Like right now I'm here for you, Kagome."

Kagome looked to him, " How did you know my name?"

Inuyasha realized his mistake. She didn't realize they had met before. " Oh, you told me. You might not remember because you were sort of out of it at the time."

" Oh. Umm… did you tell me your name?"

He smiled shaking his head, " Inuyasha."

" Well thanks Inuyasha." Kagome wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

" Hey it's no problem."

Unexpectedly the door opened to reveal Kikyou hanging off some guy. " Inuyasha?" she asked upon seeing him on the bed. Turning her attention to the girl on the bed she looked shocked. " Kagome?"

Kagome let go of Inuyasha and turned to Kikyou.

" Oh hi Kikyou. Hi Naraku."

Kikyou glared daggers at the girl. " Inuyasha I think we need to talk." Inuyasha noticed the anger in her voice. Shrugging he asked, " Hey Kagome will be alright for a while?"

Crossing her arms she replied, " I'm not a 2 year old." Inuyasha smiled and left the room with Kikyou.

" Okay what do you want now?" Kikyou glared at him voice cold and hard.

" You can't have me so you sleep with my look alike. How immature are you Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha started at her dumbly. What made her think he was going to sleep with Kagome? He then realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt. ' Oh that could it.' He thought looking down at his bare chest.

" Look Kikyou why do you care what I do. You broke up with me, remember. Who I sleep with none is none of your business."

" But her Inuyasha? You're more pathetic than I thought." Inuyasha clearly heard the jealousy in her voice.

" Look Kikyou what I do is none of your business. For someone who claims they don't like me you seem really interested in who I get with."

" Flatter yourself all you want. I'm just warning you that whatever you have up your sleeve won't work."

" What makes you think I have something up me sleeve?"

" I know your type Inuyasha. Kagome is not it."

" Whatever Kikyou. Now if you would excuse me I don't want to keep Kagome waiting." Smirking to himself Inuyasha entered the room Kagome was in.

In his head he was already devising the perfect plan to get back at Kikyou. Kikyou seemed really jealous of Kagome. So if he got with Kagome and not just a fling, but a serious relationship Kikyou would get really jealous and want him back. He could then dump Kagome saying it didn't feel right between them. Inuyasha smirked to himself. It was the perfect plan.

He smirk faltered however when he saw Kagome.

" Hey what's wrong?" he asked. Kagome looked really bad almost as if she was going to throw up. ' Oh no.' Inuyasha grabbed her hand and ran through the hall. Opening random doors he tried to find the bathroom. " Hang on Kagome," he urged searching the halls for the bathroom.

Finally finding it thrust her inside. She quickly ran to the toilet and let her stomach empty. The whole time Inuyasha was by her side holding her hair back.

Miroku looked desperately for his friend. Apparently someone had found out he'd spiked the drink and they were looking for him. He didn't see the problem considering people where already drunk. A little more liquor wouldn't hurt anyone. But still some of the jocks were apparently looking for crashes to beat up. This meant he and Inuyasha needed to get out of here before they got beaten the crap out of.

Miroku and Inuyasha were pussies though they could fight. Miroku just didn't like the odds much. Twenty buff Jocks against a hanyou and monk.

Miroku cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, " Hey Inu! Inuyasha!" Sighing when he heard no answer he made his way upstairs. Looking around he didn't see Inuyasha anywhere in the hall so started to look into the rooms. Most of them contained busy couples, but Miroku just said, " Oh sorry" and shut the door again. Several times he heard people yell after him, 'Pervert'.

" You have no idea how old that word is getting to me," he mumbled as he continued to check into rooms. All of a sudden he heard yelling. Running to the source he found Inuyasha sprawled out on the floor.

" Kouga have you seen Kagome? I can't find her anywhere," said Sango in a worried voice.

" Yeah I saw her just a moment ago. I can't find her anymore though. Some people said they saw her table dancing.

Sango looked at him incredulously, " What? Kagome wouldn't do that."

" She was drunk when I last saw her."

"But Kagome doesn't drink alcohol."

Suddenly Sango was pushed aside. " I couldn't help but over hear your discussion," said a girl's voice. Sango turned to see Kikyou standing there with a smug look. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. " Well if you want to know why she's drunk, I think someone spiked the punch. I know I've seen some punks here that I don't think go to our school. If you want my opinion they were the ones that probably did it."

Sango suddenly remembered an incident last holidays where a certain monk descendant filled the punch with liquor. ' I'll kill him' she thought.

" Okay well thank you for the info Kikyou. Now if you would excuse us we have to go beat the crap out of some skaters." Sango pushed her way through the crowd and toward the jocks. Once getting there she said, " Hey guys. I was just wondering if you could do us a favor." One of the boys stepped forward and said, " Yeah what is it Sango." Sango started to explain the situation. Once she was finished she said, " Okay what I was wondering was could you please find anyone who's a punk and doesn't go to our school and throw them out. While you are at it try and find Kagome." The group of boys nodded and departed to find any crashers.

" Okay Kouga, lets go upstairs and search." He nodded and followed the girl upstairs.

Sango was about to open a door when Kouga stopped her. " I don't think you want to do that."

" Why not! Kagome could be in there and in trouble." Sango forced the door open. Upon seeing the inside she blushed deeply and slammed the door shut.

" You can't say I didn't warn you." Sango mumbled something then asked,

" Okay then where could she be?"

" In her condition my guess would be the bathroom." Sango nodded and headed straight for it.

Bursting through the door she found her friend leaned up against the wall with some guy not wearing a shirt holding her shoulders.

" What the hell are you doing?!" yelled Kouga upon seeing the boy touching Kagome.

" Trying to keep her from passing out," Inuyasha responded barely noticing the intruders.

" Get off her you bastard!" Kouga aggressively grabbed Inuyasha by the arm to a standing position the punched him hard, throwing him to the ground.

Seeing his best friend sprawled out on the floor Miroku ran to him. " Hey dude are you alright?"

Inuyasha got up holding his head, " Yeah, some jerk just punched me for trying to help this chic. These people are crazy." Inuyasha looked up to see the guy that punched him holding Kagome in his arms.

" I think you two better leave before things get ugly," he warned.

Inuyasha growled about to refuse but Miroku stopped him. " Yah sure, we're gone," said Miroku grabbing Inuyasha's arm and dragging him away.

Inuyasha started to growl at Miroku, " What the hell did you do that for?"

" Well because they've got about 20 huge jocks after our heads."

" Feh I could take them"

Miroku rolled his eyes. " Whatever dude. This party sucks anyway, it's no loss if we leave a little early." Inuyasha shrugged. He knew Miroku was right but he would have liked a few extra hours with Kagome. Once he convinces her to go out with him his plan will be in full swing. It shouldn't be that hard considering she was all over tonight.

Once they reached the car Inuyasha got into the drivers seat and started the engine.

" So how did the plan go?" asked Miroku.

" Well…" Inuyasha spent the ride home explaining to Miroku the new plan.

Kagome heard distant voices calling her name. She managed a choked " Inuyasha?"

" No it's me girl. Sango. Hey who the hell is Inuyasha?" Kagome forced her eyelids open to see Sango and Kouga with worried expressions. Upon seeing the light above her she cringed.

" Oww, damn that hurts." She held her hand over her eyes trying to block out the headache that was slowly building.

She heard Sango laugh, " Welcome to the wonderful world of hangovers." Kagome cringed her nose.

" Where am I?"

Kouga answered with, " You're still at my house. The parties been over for a while but we were going to wait till you woke up to bring you home."

" Oh okay. Hey where did Inuyasha go?"

Sango and Kouga exchanged confused looks. " Who?" they asked in unison.

Kagome shook her head, " Oh, no one. Umm okay so are we going home now?" Sango nodded and helped her friend off the kitchen table.

Kagome couldn't help but wonder about Inuyasha. Was he even real or did she just imagine him? In the end she decided it didn't matter. Imaginary or not he helped her out and she appreciated that. Suddenly Kagome remembered something.

" Sango?"

" Yeah."

" Who was the guy you came here for?"

Sango's sweat dropped and she just replied, " I think you need your rest Kagome. I think you should stop talking altogether actually until all the alcohol in your system is gone." Kagome frowned but kept opn bugging her friend all the way home.
