Recap:

Sango dragged an excited Miroku out to the dance floor leaving Inuyasha and Kagome at the table. Kagome was just working up the nerve to ask him to dance, when someone she least expected walked over to the table and tapped her on the shoulder.

It was Kouga.

Trust

Chapter 8-

"Look Kagome, I know I made a mistake, but you have to understand. I love, I need you. I want you back. Please forgive me?" he gave her pleading eyes.

Kagome was too scared to move or speak. Inuyasha had been ready to leap at Kouga when he had first arrived, but now he was frozen in place, curious as to what Kagome would say.

"I-No Kouga, I-I c-can't!" she yelled the last part, and everything went silent, but Kagome didn't notice.

"You bastard, I trusted you! You made me believe that I was safe!SAFE! And you turned around and tried to do that! You ruined my life! I can't even be in the same room as a guy without freaking out now! I can't trust anymore because of you! Well you know what? I've had it with being scared. I'm sick on constantly thinking what will happen again if I let someone in! Fuck you and GET OUT OF MY LIFE!"

Kagome ran to the stage and grabbed the mike. She began reciting a poem she had written that was called "Reasons", looking Inuyasha straight in the eye the whole time.

"You sit there and smile, and of course, I smile back.

You seem to like me, but I can't really be sure.

You want to make me smile, and I do, but my hearts not in it, and you can't figure it out.

There are reasons for that.

You like the fact that I'm different, that I'm set apart from everyone.

I don't fuss over my hair, or talk about clothes all the time like everyone else.

I'm comfortable in my own skin, and I can be insane.

But there is a dark side you've never seen, no one has.

There are reasons for that.

I want someone who I can laugh with.

I want someone who I will wrap their arms around me.

I want a soul-mate, I admit it, but I can't bring myself to say it out loud.

I do not show deep emotions, I don't show what I'm truely feeling.

I hide behind a wall.

There are reasons for that.

You won't be able to figure me out.

I don't let people get close.

My hearts been broken too many times.

I do not trust as easily as I used to.

There are reasons for that.

You may ask me what is wrong.

Don't expect me to answer.

I cannot let someone into my heart again.

I've been betrayed too many times before.

I cannot let you see the real me.

The me that sits alone and cry's.

The me thats begging for attention.

I won't let you in.

There are reasons for that."

Kagome stopeed for a moment to collect herself. Then, she stopped looking at Inuyasha, and turned her attention to Kouga.

"That's how it use to be, but now I see.

I won't hide anymore, I'm free.

Take your sympathey and all your class,

I don't want it so you can SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!"

She stepped off the stage and everyone clapped. She gave a true smile for the first time in ages, and it was directed at Inuyasha. He felt like melting into a puddle.

Meanwhile, Kouga disappeared into the crowd. Reaching the back of the club, he stepped into a private room to talk with someone there.

"Your plan didn't work!" Kouga hissed at the shadows.

"Ku ku ku. Temper temper. Relax, that was only the first step remember. Why aren't you out there starting step 2?"

"Fine."

Kouga left the back room, and made his way to the exit. Talking quickly with one of the bouncers, he made his way back to the dancefloor. Searching for Kagome's table, he found it, but was disappointed to find that she wasn't there. Scanning the dancefloor, he growled loudly to find her dancing, no, correction, GRINDING with Inuyasha.

He couldn't take it anymore. Kouga left, but not before knocking over several people in his rage.

.:.In The Cat's Meow.:.

Sango and Miroku passed Inuyasha and Kagome grinding on their way back to the table. Sango panted that they were going to have a rest, and Inuyasha and Kagome nodded before returning to their dance.

The song changed to a slow song, and Inuyasha put a hand on Kagome's waist. When she didn't protest, he put his other hand on her waist. Kagome brought her hands up and clasped them behind his neck. Sighing contentedly, she turned her head and rested it on his chest.

.:.With Sango and Miroku.:.

"AWWWWWW! Thats so kawaii!(sp?) Look at them dance Miroku!" Sango looked at him. Little did she know that Miroku hands had been wandering again, and sure enough...

SMACK!

"HENTAI!" Sango screamed.

Suddenly, about 3/4 of the people in the club turned around and looked at them.

"Would ya give it a rest Miroku?" they all said. Miroku turned bright red and suddenly found the table very interesting. Sango, however, used this to her advantage.

"Yeah! Listen to them!" She told him, then went to go get a drink.

.:.With Kagome and Inuyasha.:.

"I'm going to get a drink, I'll meet you at the table." Kagome told Inuyasha when the song ended. He nodded and headed towards the table while Kagome headed for the bar.

When she got there, she noticed Sango and slipped beside her. She ordered a pop, and her and ango went back to the table.

The rest of the time spent at the club was uneventful, except for when Miroku got up for Kareoke and sang "You My Sunshine" while staring at an extremely red-faced Sango.

Miroku's mother came to pick them up at 10 like she said she would, and drove them back to the house. Afterwards, they spent the rest of the time watching the movies, the comedies and then the chick-flick, as none of them really felt like following the plot to a scary movie after dancing up a storm.

Sango fell asleep in Miroku's arms on the couch, and Kagome fell asleep in Inuyasha's arms on the loveseat. Soon, Miroku was asleep, and only Inuyasha weas awake. But he too soon joined his friends in a blissful dreamland, that was peaceful for all of them. Except one.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Isn't it amazing how two words can change the entire ending of a Chapter from complete, to cliffhanger? Ah well, it isn't that bad so NO COMPLAINING!

Oh! AND...The poem "Reasons" that Kagome recites is a poem that I wrote a long time ago. Before this story was even thought of. So, therefore, you cannot use it unless you have my permission. If you really want to use the poem, I will please ask that you credit it to me, as I am the original writer. Also, I want a copy of where you have posted it. To credit the poem to me, just put at the bottom By: Aithne Fekete, or whatever, just as long as it is said that I wrote the poem!
