On request, I'm going to make this a little bit longer, but only a little. I wanna hear a BIG thank you to Caitlin who gave me a good idea that will probably stretch it out a few chapters.
Ch.11
Kagome had decided to go out shopping while she let Miroku and Sango have some alone time. After he had phoned she had gathered her purse and their page long list of items she had to purchase and began to descend down the apartment to the ground level. It was a beautiful outside so she had decided to walk instead of taking her car. The air was crisp giving a slight chill. She cursed herself for not thinking to bring a jacket, instead she wore a tight pale pule tank top and dark blue jeans. She walked down the street absently, ignoring the world around her. She strolled through the crowded streets of Tokyo, brushing past people as went. She continued on her way to the store when she was unceremoniously pushed onto her rump. She muttered a quiet excuse me and made to stand up. She saw a pale hand in front of her; offering to pull her up, she silently took it and the man pulled her onto her feet. "I'm sorry." The man said as she looked up at him.
"That's okay, I should have been looking where I was going." She apologized sheepishly. She noticed uncomfortably that he was staring at her, pausing every so often to look at her body. "Uh, excuse, do I know you?" She asked, wondering why the man was admiring her so.
"Perhaps, but I don't want to wrongly assume you for some one else." He said flashing a charming smile. "Hi, my name's Naraku." He said sticking out his hand. She looked at him curiously for a moment before deciding that they didn't know each other.
"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Kagome." She said throwing her own dazzling smile. She took his larger hand in hers, unknowingly; his hand enveloped her own.
"Kagome, do you happen you work at Hitodai?" He asked naming the club where she worked. That's why he was studying her, she had probably slept with him once. She had slept with so many men that this one didn't seem to ring a bell.
"Yes, I do." She said ashamed, he was probably going to ask her for sex now. She closed her eyes and turned her face down, surprisingly, he didn't ask any question, just stared at her intently.
"I came, last night actually. I was there with Miroku and Inuyasha." She instantly remembered him; he was the silent one that she hadn't spoken to too much. Her lips formed a slight 'o' as she looked at him shocked. Why wasn't he asking her for a good fuck? A blowjob? Or something?
"Oh, yes I'm sorry. I don't know why I forgot, must be stress, I guess." She said withdrawing her hand. "So, where are you headed this afternoon." She questioned politely.
"Oh, just for a random walk. You?" He answered with general interest. He was a polite man and Kagome instantly liked him.
"Just to the store." She trailed off while wiping imaginary dirt off of her bottom. She looked up at him and had a thought. "Hey, since you're going for a random walk, would you like to accompany to the store, that is if you want. Don't feel obliged to or anything." She stuttered nervously. She didn't feel like being alone at that time and Naraku seemed to be nice enough.
"Why not, miss. What is your last name, I didn't quite catch it." He asked eagerly. His eyes no longer bore into her body but were staring deeply into her eyes. Not many men stared into her eyes like that when she wasn't at work. But then again, not too many men recognized her until she was up on that stage dancing...Or in the sex rooms with them. She blushed and looked away, pretending to be interested in something across the street.
"Higurashi, but you can just call me Kagome." She answered lamely. "Thank you Mr. I don't believe you gave me your last name either." She said playfully.
"It's Onigumo, but as you said, Naraku is fine." He answered in an amused tone.
"Alright then, let's go." She said grabbing his hand and leading him toward the store. On the way they talked of unimportant issues like work. Well, it was mostly about his work...She didn't feel comfortable talking about her own. Thankfully he seemed to understand that. They talked about other unimportant things such as the weather and the like.
When they reached the store she excused herself to grab some of the more feminine necessities before returning to his side. After that they began to walk around the store together, picking up the things that she needed. Once she grabbed everything she needed she walked up to the clerk, a young girl with dark hair. She looked around sixteen with a freckled face. Her nametag read Nazuna, a pretty name. Kagome began to unload all of her necessities from the cart onto the counter.
"Is that everything, miss?" Nazuna asked pleasantly.
"Yes, thank you miss." She replied as Naraku waited outside having a smoke. She waited patiently as the girl rang up the total.
"That will be 3753 yen, please." She rolled off. Kagome remembered when she tried to get a job as a store clerk before she became a prostitute. Her manager had drilled a likewise phrase into her head.
She reached for her purse and took out her credit card. Nazuna slid the machine over and Kagome swept the card before punching in her pin number. Once that was done she thanked the girl and went outside to meet Naraku. "All done?" He asked.
"Almost. I just have to go the bank. Want to come with?" She answered.
"Sure, can't have a helpless girl walking alone through the streets of Tokyo." He said jokingly.
She stopped dead in her tracks. "Helpless!" She fumed. "I am any thing but helpless." She said in a deadly calm voice. She stormed over to him as if to give him a good slap but when she raised her hand to strike him he caught it before she could touch him.
"Jeez Kagome, it was just a joke. I'm sure that you're anything but that! Guess it wasn't that funny though," he replied with a small smile. Kagome immediately flushed and bore holes into the ground. How embarrassing!
"Oh my god! I am so sorry! I've just been under a lot of stress lately. I'm so sorry! Even after you agreed to come to the bank with me! I'm such a bitch! I'm so-" She was caught off guard when he silenced her ever moving lips with a short kiss.
His lips descended to hers, before he put them on her own he gave a slight, arousing blow. When he kissed her it was at first a light one but when he began to remove himself from her she threw her hands around his neck and pulled him closer. He began to nibble on her bottom lip, demanding entrance to which she quickly complied. His tongue sensually licked her clean teeth then moved on to have a fierce battle with her tongue. After a few more seconds of intense kissing she pulled back. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that! It's just that I'm under so much stress." She said flushed. All the while she was talking Naraku was trying to either fight the hard that she had just gave him or trying to fight the urge to kiss her again.
"It's okay." He said breathlessly. "I should be the one apologizing, I shouldn't have kissed you like that. I'm sorry for my intrusion."
"That's okay, I didn't exactly fight it." She said before grabbing his hand. "Uh, come on, I still gotta go to the bank." She said regaining her breath. Once she had got her breathing pace back to normal she began to work on the blush staining her cheeks. She led him to the bank a few blocks down, this time the walk was in comfortable silence.
When they reached the bank she deposited the money she had earned from Inuyasha. Once she was done with that they walked back to her home. Usually, Kagome never felt comfortable showing possible clients her home for safety reasons. He walked her up to her apartment where she invited him in. "Unfortunately my dear, I cannot. As much as I regret it, I must be getting home. Thank you for inviting me on your walk around. Perhaps we could do it again another time." He suggested hopefully.
"I would love that." She replied honestly. She wondered if Sango and Miroku were still inside 'doing it' but she figured she had been gone for a good hour or so, they must be done by now or had the decency to get a more private room. She wondered if she should kiss him farewell or not. Thankfully he seemed to have decided for her and gave her a crushing kiss. His lips pounded onto hers, sucking her bottom lip gently. She opened her mouth and gave a low moan; this man was a good kisser. He didn't compare to Inuyasha though, she thought ruefully. She clenched her eyes shut and concentrated on the man in front of her. Even she knew it was rude to think of another man while kissing a different one.
He slowly pulled back, looking at her intently. She began to hesitate under his intense gaze. She mumbled something low under her voice while playing with her hands in a nervous gesture.
"I'm sorry, Kagome. I didn't quite catch that." He asked innocently even though he had heard what she said perfectly with her demon hearing.
"I said would you like to come dinner with me on Friday?" She asked. She looked at him hopefully although a fierce blush was brushed onto her cheeks.
"I would love to." He answered before giving her a slight peck on the cheek. He took a pen from his pocket and grabbed her hand. He began to write a number while saying, "That's my number. I'll see you at 7:30. Oh and Kagome? Wear something casual, okay?" He said before walking off with a slight bounce in his step.
"'Kay." She said touching her cheek. After he was out of sight she began to fumble with her keys trying to find the right one. When she finally did she opened the door to see Sango leaning against empty air where the door had just been. Sango clumsily began to fall but Kagome caught her gracefully. "Hi Sango." She said flatly.
"Uh, hey Kagome." She said looking up from the younger girl' arms. "Two things." She said with a big smile across her face. "Me and Miroku made up! He didn't cheat on me!" She said gleefully.
"No way!" She shrieked as though she hadn't planned the whole thing. "Oh my god, Sango! I'm so happy for you! How was the make up sex?"
"It was great!" She said with a big smile. Kagome was beginning to consider that maybe her smile would just stick there without the help of glue. "Secondly, who was that hotty?" She demanded. "I want all the juicy details! How did you meet him? Is he a good kisser? Did he ask you out? Does he have any cute friends?"
Kagome couldn't help but laugh at her friend's antics. "I bumped into him on my way to the store. He's a phenomenal kisser. Yes, he asked me out. And Sango, your currently dating Miroku if you forgot." The last comment made Sango blush.
"So, when is he coming?" She asked intrigued.
"He said Friday but I'm thinking of inviting him to the club." She said.
"Going to have sex before the first date? Kagome, you're getting loose." Sango lectured.
"Yeah, I know. But Sango, you know you would, too." She teased.
"No doubt! So what are you going to wear?" She questioned.
"Dear god! I have no clue!" She said before rushing to her room to find something to wear. "Sango! Help me!" She screamed from her bedroom. Sango gave a sarcastic moan before rushing to help her friend find a suitable outfit.
A/N: Also, I wanna hear a huge thank you to my new beta reader, Maisie (a.k.a.: Princess Anime whose first story will be coming out shortly). Okay that's it for now. Oh and don't worry, just adding a little drama to the mix.
