Mirra27: Thanks, I'm really glad you liked Falling. To answer your question yes, there will be InuKag in this story, in fact, this is their chapter. Hooray al around!
Northstar2790: I had a feeling that you would like that chapter...(eats cupcake) yummmm.... I'll have (or well try to have) more Sango Miroku fluff in this chapter but this is the Inu/Kag chapter so theres gonna be more of that than anything.
and a few responses from Falling:
outofplace: I completely understand not reviewing. My computer is broken at the moment (well not completely broken) so I can't review stories unless I'm at school or on the other one.
Elf of the Forest: Thanks, I'm glad you liked the ending. I hope you like this one too!
Ok that's all for the responses for now. I seem to have lost a few faithful reviewers though... :( probably because I don't have any specific main character for this story so it's harder to know of this stories existance. This will be the InuKag chappie so ENJOY!
"Mmmm... Buffet..." Inuyasha drooled, as he looked at the numerous types of food in front him, just waiting to be put on his plate and eaten. There was a sudden sharp pain on the back of his head, causing him to wince slightly. "Ouch, wench what was that for?"
Kagome sighed from her position behind him in line for the buffet. Sango and Miroku had decided to have the buffet instead of having only a few meal choices, so that people could get exactly what they wanted. "Stop drooling all over the food! Everyone else has to eat it to, remember." She stated as she started to dish up her own food. "And for the last time my name is Kagome, not wench!"
"I wasn't droolin." Inuyasha huffed.
"Just dish up your food," She said casually butting in front of him, earning an annoyed growl from the silver haired man.
"Hurry up, Dog Crap." Kouga's voice came. "Your holdin up the line."
"I'm goin." Inuyasha mumbled as he filled his plate with everything in his sight.
"Oh god..." Sango exclaimed as her father began to tell yet another rather embarrassing story of her childhood.
Ayame giggled and patted her friend on the back. "It could be worse," She said cheerfully.
"How so?" Sango asked, giving Ayame a doubtful look.
"He could start telling some freak story about Miroku asking you to marry him when you were little kids..." Ayame shrugged, remembering her own wedding reception and the story her grandfather, with the help of Kouga's dad, had told. Sango looked at her horrified. "Hey, it happened to me!" Ayame said, laughing at her friends' expression.
The speeches continued for another half hour or so. Kagome and Ayame were kind enough to tell the story of the first time they had met Miroku. Once they were out of the way, a live jazz band began to play. Sango and Miroku headed out to the dance floor to enjoy their first dance as a married couple, Kouga and Ayame soon followed.
Kagome sat at the table smiling as she watched her friends dance happily. She felt a nudge on her shoulder and looked up to see Inuyasha standing over her, hand extended to her, smirking. "Care to dance?" He asked.
"Sure," Kagome said taking his hand and following him to the dance floor. Kagome was surprised at Inuyasha's ability to dance. She figured he would have had two left feet but he was really quite talented. "Wow, Inuyasha! I'm seeing a whole new side of you." She giggled as he dipped her.
"You ain't seen nothin yet." Inuyasha whispered in her ear as he brought her back up out of the low dip. He began to twirl her around and pulling of rather complicated moves.
After the song was over Kagome stared at Inuyasha in awe. "Where on earth did you learn to dance like that?" She asked, her eyes full of disbelief.
Inuyasha shrugged. "My mom taught me when I was younger..."
"She must have been an amazing dancer." Kagome awed.
"Yeah, that's what she use to do, before she met my dad that is..." Inuyasha informed her.
"Well, she did a great job teaching you," Kagome giggled. Just then there was a tap on her shoulder. She looked back to see Kouga standing behind her.
"Wanna dance?" He asked, holding out a hand.
Kagome looked to the side, seeing Ayame dancing with Kouga's father. She giggled and nodded, taking Kouga's hand and beginning to dance with him.
"Come on Inuyasha," Sango said, taking Inuyasha by the arm. "Let's see what you're made of."
As the night went on, the crowd slowly began to decrease. It was nearing 11 pm, Inuyasha was currently dancing with Ayame for the fifth time that night. Inuyasha watched as Kagome walked out to the balcony of the hall. Ayame followed his gaze and smiled to herself.
"You gonna go after her?" She asked looking up at Inuyasha.
"Huh?" Was Inuyasha's oh so intelligent response.
"Are you gonna go see what's wrong with Kagome?" Ayame repeated to herself.
"Why would I do that?" Inuyasha asked, blushing slightly.
Ayame rolled her eyes at the stubborn male and stopped dancing. "Just go after her..."
"But-"
"GO!"
"Alright, alright, I'm going." Inuyasha said walking towards the large double doors that Kagome had just gone out of. "No need to bite my head off."
Ayame just shook her head at mane before going to look for Kouga.
Kagome sighed sadly as she sat down on a stone bench on the balcony. She was looking up at the night sky, head in her hands, lost in thought.
"Oi Wench!" Inuyasha called as he came out side, drawing her attention to the attractive silver hair man. "What are you doin out here?"
She sighed again and returned to looking at the stars. "Nothing," She breathed.
Inuyasha blinked before sitting down beside her, looking at her quizzically. "What's up with you? You didn't even yell at me for callin you wench."
"I dunno," She said softly, turning her gaze to her feet. "Just feeling a bit... lonely I guess..."
"Lonely?" Inuyasha asked, looking at her as if she was crazy. "Your surrounded by people how could you feel lonely."
She rolled her eyes and sat up straight, looking out at the light of New York City. "Not lonely as in having no one around. Lonely as in... How do I phrase this..." She thought out loud. "I don't know how to describe it really... It's just that with Sango married now, I won't see her as much. And Ayame is ready to pop any day now. With the baby she's not going to have time to hang out like we use to. I just feel a bit left behind. Both of my closest friends have someone else to share their lives with now and I'm still stuck at square one."
"So, what? You're depressed because you don't have a boyfriend." Inuyasha asked, trying to get what she was saying.
"Well, yes and no." Kagome shrugged.
"What then?" Inuyasha pushed on.
"It's not because I don't have a guy, it's that I don't have anyone to spend time with anymore." She sighed, leaning back. "Though it would be nice to have a love life..."
"Well, why don't you? I mean, you're not bad lookin or nothin. A guy would be crazy not to want you." Inuyasha stated, blushing lightly.
Kagome blushed a bright pink, giving Inuyasha an odd look. "That's really sweet of you to say Inuyasha. Thank you." She said smiling at him.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, drawn to her beauty. He wouldn't deny to anyone that she was attractive, that was obvious. But there was something else about her that he just loved. Maybe it her fiery attitude, or possibly the fact she was one of the few women who dared stand up to him. What ever it was, he was drawn to it like a fly to light. Slowly, ever so slowly, he leaned forward and pressed his lips softly against hers.
Kagomes eyes widened when their lips touched. Was he actually kissing her. She had liked him for so long, she just couldn't bring herself to admit it to anyone. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips back against his, returning the chaste kiss.
He pulled away smirking, but saying nothing as he turned his head and looked up at the night sky. Kagome smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, her hand moving into his. Locking their fingers they both sighed happily, watching the sky. Kagome closed her eyes when she saw a shooting star, making a wish. A wish she would tell no one
"HA!" Sango cheered as she and Miroku watched their friends out on the balcony. "You owe me five bucks!" She smiled smugly, turning to her husband holding out a hand for the expected money.
"I can't believe Inuyasha made the first move..." Miroku said blinking at the happy couple on the bench.
"He did now, pay up!" Sango said happily. Miroku shook his head and pulled out a crisp five-dollar bill and placed it in her hand. With a big smile on her face, Sango leaned forward, placing a kiss on his cheek then grapping his hand and leading him to the dance floor.
A/N: Kag/Inu fluff! yay! I know I didn't give you guys much of it in Falling but I hope this sorta semi makes up for that. Once again I'm sooooooooooooon sooooorrrryyyy that it took so long for this update. But finally my school work load is lessened. I should have more time to write my stories.
Anyways! Next chapter is the Kouga/Ayame and the last one (In this story....)! Oh Happy Days!
