Kagome stumbled over to Sango, her movements slowing down. Kagome had never drank before. She knew she was a lightweight…this was definitely not good.
"Sango! Sango! Sango, I need you!" Sango turned to see Kagome come stumbling forward. Miroku looked a bit put out by the interruption. Sango was acting like she could actually tolerate him.
"What is it?"
"I think I am-hiccup…" Kagome laughed nervously, hiccupping again," I had some punch."
Sango stared at her with her mouth open, "Kagome, you need to get out more…didn't you know not to drink anything here?"
Kagome gave her a weird look, "well…nope."
Sango sighed, "I will have to take you home, come on."
Kagome tried to wink at her eye and got caught up in the function, finally giving up, "We have a plan…I'll be back." She hiccupped as she walked to Miroku and whispered in his ear. "Sango thinks I am saying something secret to you. It's fun to tease her." She leaned back while Miroku laughed, looking at Sango as he did. Sango fumed and grabbed Miroku by the sleeve. Kagome may be drunk but she still had it. Sango would be busy all night trying to find out what she had said. Now…time to work.
She wandered over to table Kikyo was on. "Hey, remember me? Kikyo glanced down and smiled.
"Yeah…in the little room. You wanna dance too?"
Kagome had not one wit of better judgment. It had all flown away with mister sober. "Why not?"
The song changed to "Right Thurr" by Chingy and Kagome started to dance.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Inuyasha rubbed his temples. He needed an advil. Every time he took Kikyo out, he had to stay dead sober to look over her ass. Girl was crazy when drunk. Where was she now? Oh yeah, the table. Dancing her little heart out while everyone watched. That girl got on his nerves sometimes. He glanced up momentarily and looked back down before his gazed flew back to the table. Kagome was on the table, drunk, and dancing with his girlfriend. He was going to kill Sango for letting her get…GOOD LORD WHAT WAS THAT GIRL WEARING! He looked around the room. Fuck…every man in the room save Miroku was looking at the table, at Kagome.
He did NOT have the time to analyze why that pissed him off. He got up and made his way to her. The song changed to "Suga Suga" by Baby Bash. Kagome closed her eyes and stopped following Kikyo's moves, making up her own. Inuyasha stopped in his tracks, his breath catching. Sweet lord…
He shook his head…not good to have impure thoughts about his sister's roommate. He looked up again, not able to move. She moved slowly, her hips swaying, her hands roaming through her air. It was like the beat was following her body. Inuyasha clenched his fist, trying to regain control of his body. He walked to the table, stepped up and swept her into his arms.
He groaned as she accepted her new position by leaning into him and wrapping her arms around his neck. He walked her into the other room and put her down, pressing her body against a wall. "Kagome, do you know who I am?"
Kagome smiled, dancing had been fun, but being with Inuyasha was decidedly better. She nodded, feeling very seductive, "I would know your body with my eyes closed," She whispered in his ear. He shivered, his response to her immediate. He closed his eyes. 'Okay Inuyasha, go over the facts, she is drunk and innocent. I FORBID you to take advantage of her.'
Inuyasha opened his eyes, confident in his power of will. "Kagome, you are drunk, I am going to walk you home before you get hurt."
She raised one eyebrow and gave him a lopsided smile, "Okay." Thank God she was a friendly drunk.
Inuyasha took a deep breath and picked her up, heading back to the living room to find Sango. When he reached her, he frowned, "You are fired from being bodyguard."
Sango smiled, latching immediately to the opportunity, "You're right, wise choice. You're her new one. We are attending a party tomorrow, make sure to be there."
Inuyasha looked appalled. He glared at Miroku and Sango, told them he was taking her back, and stomped off. "Stupid, conniving, witchy wench."
"Love her that much do you?"
Inuyasha glanced down at Kagome, "Don't look so smug. Thanks to her I am saddled with YOU."
Kagome made a small 'o' with her mouth before tucking her head in the crook of his neck. "Could have sworn you fired her."
Inuyasha growled, irritated that she was still coherent, "Just shut up and pass out."
"What about Kikyo?"
"She'll be fine, Miroku will watch her…and she does this a lot. You are new to this state I'm guessing."
Kagome didn't care what he thought, she was just too tired. Inuyasha saw her eyes close and knew she had fallen asleep. He walked her back to the dorm and made his way to the top floor. He opened her door and set her on her bed.
She woke up, blinking her eyes to focus better. When she looked up at Inuyasha, he was watching her intently. She knew some of the stuff she did tonight was stupid. She couldn't really place what that was, but she knew Inuyasha had gone out of his was to help her.
"Thanks Inuyasha, I haven't ever done that before and I can't really think right now but I am sure I should thank you."
"Have you ever been kissed before?"
Kagome was startled…had she? "Uhh…"
Inuyasha raised his eyebrows, "Don't you know?"
"Why do you want to know?"
There was a long pause before Inuyasha sighed, leaning down to capture her lips in a short, chaste kiss. It took her breath away.
When he pulled away, she said the first thing on her mind, "Did you do that to educate me or on the off chance that I won't remember tonight tomorrow?"
Inuyasha could not answer that. He had no idea why he had said it or why he had kissed her. Jesus he had actually kissed her. This is Kagome, the cute girl who lived with his sister. He couldn't explain what the hell was wrong to himself, much less a drunk girl.
He sighed again, "Don't worry about it. Get some sleep, I'll call tomorrow to find out where you're going."
"You're actually going to be my chaperone?"
Inuyasha grinned, for protecting her virtue as a chaperone would do was definitely not one of the thoughts in his mind. "Maybe…life could get worse. I could be dead. Well, that's not worse, but I could be being tortured to death. Well, that's not really-"
Kagome threw a pillow at him, "Shut up you."
He laughed, grabbing the pillow and smothering her with it playfully. She laughed and pulled him on top of her to gain the power. He grabbed her wrists and forced them behind her head.
He smiled at her and leaned down to her ear. "For your sake and mine, I shouldn't 'chaperone' you. But that's better than you by yourself, since it's obvious you can't take care of yourself."
"Sure I can, just not when my mind is fuzzy."
"Hmm, like now?"
"Yup."
He leaned down to kiss her. Reason be damned. He couldn't resist…it felt to right. "You're right, you are completely defenseless." He caught her scent and it drove him wild. Man, this was Kagome, the funny girl that he adored. What was wrong with him? He had a girlfriend for gods sake! Shit…
He groaned, "Which is why I have to leave, see you tomorrow."
She smiled, content in her drunken state, "Okay bye bye."
He looked back, smiled, and closed the door.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Ugg… my head." Kagome put her hand on her pounding head, not even daring to open her eyes to the light. "I feel horrible…what the heel is going on?"
Sango looked up from her book to her friend, "It's called a hangover, and it might just screw you over for class today."
Kagome cracked an eye and squinted at Sango, groaning again. "Why the hell do I do these things to myself. I have to go to class. I have a quiz. What time is it?"
"11:30. You still have two hours." Sango got up, grabbed a few things, and walked over to Kagome. "Here, take this aspirin and this whole bottle of water and go back to sleep. You should be okay by the time you have class."
Kagome grabbed the aspirin and took them with half the bottle of water. "Thanks, say… where did you learn this?"
Sango laughed, "Are you kidding…I have an older brother. I've seen more hangovers than you've seen birthdays."
"More than 18 then."
Sango sighed, "Yes…most definitely. Now got back to sleep. I'll wake you in an hour and a half."
Kagome closed her eyes and tried to forget her pounding head, "Thanks Sango."
