What Was it That You Never Said?

Chapter 3: Let's Have a Riot.

The club was packed and the music was good. People where out on the floor dancing and mingling. Miroku entered the club, Kagome on one arm and Sango on the other. Pushing through the crowd he escorted them to their booth, set away from the dance floor. They sat down and ordered some drinks, watching everyone dance. Kagome smiled, the party atmosphere making her feel better then she had felt in a while now. Tapping her foot to the music she sipped her drink.

"Hey Kagome, let's go dance!" Sango yelled over the loud music.

Kagome nodded as Sango took her hand and pulled her out onto the dance floor. They danced around each other, not really caring if they looked cool, just doing felt right out there. Miroku watched them for a moment, before turning his eyes to the door. Hoping to see Inuyasha come in at any moment. He stood and made his way for the door to catch his friend as he walked in.

"Inuyasha, I am so glad the you decided to come!" Miroku patted the other man on the back. Inuyasha smirked as the taller man lead him to booth. They both sat down, Miroku making sure that he was facing the dance floor, just incase Inuyasha was spotted. He looked over his friend and smiled.

"So Kikyou decided to let you out."

"She wasn't even home, still studying. That girl spends to much time in the books. But, I am not complaining, it gives me more time to be alone." Inuyasha sighed, looking around at the dancers.

"Are you so sure that she is always studying?"

Inuyasha glared at him. "What are you trying to say?" He growled.

Putting his hands up to proclaim his innocence, Miroku shrugged. "Maybe she is not always being so honest with you. You said it yourself that there is not love in you arrangement. So why is it so hard to believe that she wouldn't seek intimacy with another man? You wont even touch her."

Inuyasha sighed once again looking over the dance floor again. "Its just not right."

The music changed from the fast paced techno song that was blaring to silence. Everyone turned to look up at the stage, including Inuyasha and Miroku. A young man was standing up there holding a microphone. He cleared his throat and smiled to the crowd. "Tonight is amateur karaoke night. Here is your first singer. Come on up here young lady"

Kagome blushed as mounted the stage. She took the microphone. and the music flooded the club.

'Have you see a cripple dance?
Pay your money, baby
Now's your chance
Eyes like cyanide
I am so dumb
Just beam me up
I've had it all forever
I've had enough

Inuyasha thought his heart stopped as he saw her on the stage. His Kagome, his one love, so close but so very far away.

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity, yeah
From moving ground

Her voice was like whiskey and smoke, smooth and rich. It covered the senses like think honey.

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
And now I understand
You leave with everything
You leave with everything I am
Withering

"Kagome.." Inuyasha whispered as he stood up, never taking his eyes off of Kagome. They where like a magnets pulling at his heart strings.

And now I know that love is dead
You've come to bury me
There's nothing left here to pretend
Anything
Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

He was standing at the side of the stage stairs, looking up at the angel on the stage. His Kagome...

I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
Under your skin
Under your skin '

The crowd went wild as the song came to a close. Kagome smiled radiantly, waving to everyone then taking off down the stage steps. A strong arm reached out and pulled her against a strong chest. Confused, she looks up into those oh so familiar violet eyes. Her heart stopped.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome whispered as her eyes roamed his face, as if she was looking for something. He hand was still gripping her forearm. Their bodies pressed flush against each other. Inuyasha inhaled deeply, her musky sent flooding her senses. At that moment, his restlessness seemed to be content, the pressure in his chest seemed to be bearable.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She cried as she pulled away from him. Glaring at him, she put her hand on her hip. "Where's your girlfriend?"

He leaned forward, watching her swallow and look down. Pretending to straighten her dress, she fiddled with her skirt. He could feel his chest contract again painfully when she pulled away. With her face flushed from dancing and her hair free falling around her, he could help but think she was more beautiful then ever before. With a shrug, Inuyasha put his hands in his pockets to prevent pulling her back against him again.

"I just decided to go out. I guess I chose the right place." He said with a cocky smirk.

She glared back at him. "Well, I don't think that Kikyou would appreciate you ignoring her--"

"She's not here."

Kagomes mouth closed with an audible click. Why would he be here and not bring his usually over possessive girlfriend? What exactly is going on?

"But...-"

"She is always studying, and that's pretty much it." He said rather matter-o-factly.

This time she didn't know how to respond to him. Inuyasha not wanting to deal with an uncomfortable silence grabbed Kagomes hand and pulled her toward the dance floor. She just let him lead her to the floor, not really knowing what to do.

"What are you doing?" She finally asked as they started to dance. Everything feeling so normal, even though they had not seen each other in six months.

"Dancing. We danced all the time when we where younger. It was our thing." He said putting his palm on the small of her back, pulling her closer to him. They started to move across the floor with natural ease. Everyone faded from their world and it became the music and just them. The way it used to be, before chaos set in. It seemed like they floated, moving with grace that would make a dancer cry.

But all things must come to an end. The music faded and reality came crashing back down on the pair. Kagome gracefully moved away from her partner. "I think I better go..."

She looked confused, her brows furrowed in thought. Inuyasha wanted to kiss the lines away. That thought alone gave him pause, when had he starting thinking of Kagome that way?

She fought through the crowd to the door and out into the cold night air. Her boots clicked on the sidewalk as she moved away from the club and down the street. The scars on her heart ripped open and bleed, Kagome walked off into the cold night trying to get her head back on straight.

--

Sango saw Inuyasha move to the stage as Kagome sang. Moving to intercept him before her broken hearted friend saw him, Miroku grabbed her around the waist and pulled her flush to him. "Miroku-"

He put a finger over her lips. "I called him. I know he is here. This is the only thing I can think of to make them happy again. We both know that this isn't right and that they should be together. I got them in the same room, Fate should do the rest." He whispered in her ear.

She turned to her boyfriend and nodded, a forlorn look on her pretty face. "But what if-"

Miroku cut her off this time with a kiss. No time for what ifs. They would have to see if his set up worked.

--

Will Inuyasha follow Kagome, or will he sulk back to his apartment alone? Only one way to find out...

Anyway, thank you to those that left a comment. It means alot to hear back from the readers. The next chapter should be up tomorrow.
