Chapter 3: In da club…
Souta and Kagome were currently driving around in his car talking. Or rather Kagome was being interrogated on her sudden interest in a certain person.
"How old is he?" Souta asked not being one for subtlety.
"23" Kagome answered back simply.
"Too old for you, and what does he do?"
"He is not!" she defended "And come to think of it I never asked him" she said thoughtfully
"Can he fight?"
Kagome grinned at her brother while remembering the last hour. "As a matter of fact he's a very skilled and talented fighter. I took him on at the gym"
Souta swerved the car in his disbelief and somewhat anger, his overprotective side appearing "YOU DID WHAT!...did he hurt you scratch that did he hit you at all? How many times have I said I don't want you fighting guys Kagome?"
"But Pooh Bear I-" she was cut off by Souta's reprimanding.
"Don't Pooh Bear me" he said a little angry but then he calmed down seeing the look on Kagome's face. "Look Bunny I know you're an excellent fighter and you can handle your own but you're still my little sister and I love you way too much to let anything ever happen to you. Can't you understand how much I worry about you?" he finished softly
"I know, and I'm sorry…but you don't always have to worry about me Pooh Bear I'm a big girl now and do you really think I would make such foolish decisions that would end in me getting hurt?" she asked him
He gave her 'the look' "What about Kouga or does he not count?"
"That's different, Kouga wanted something I wasn't ready to give and…well…look Souta he's nothing like Kouga okay please just trust me on this and give me the chance to give him a chance…I- I really like him" she told her brother hopefully.
Souta stopped the car in front of Kagome's lavish apartment building (which him having such great real estate connections purchased for her free of rent.). He then turned to her. "Okay I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and you can date him…but NO sex until you're married." He added in a fatherly tone.
Kagome blushed like mad and slapped her brother one playfully. "Souta…!" he just laughed.
"So is there anything you want to do tonight?" he asked her when he stopped laughing.
"I don't know yet…I was going to call Sango when I got upstairs and see if she had plans. I'll call you and tell you later, but right now I'm beat." She hugged her brother and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then she hurried to the front entrance of her home and waved one last time to Souta who was waiting for her to get upstairs safely.
Once she got to her cozy penthouse apartment and assured her brother she was safe she changed into an oversized tee-shirt that read 'If you don't like my attitude…quit talking to me" and picked up the phone to call Sango.
"Moshi Moshi" came Sango's voice at the other end of the line.
"Hey Monster it's Kagome"
"Oh hey munchkin what's going on?"
"Nothing just wondering what your plans were for the night"
"Oh well since tonight is my night off as bouncer at the club I figured I'd go there tonight just for fun, do you want to come?"
"Definitely I haven't been to a club in a while…I'll call Souta and tell him that's where we're going…he wanted to do something tonight."
"Okay I'll tell Kohaku to come too and we can all hang"
"Okay sounds like a plan" Kagome agreed.
"Oh and Kagome wear something sexy."
"Better yet I'll wear something devastating." Both girls laughed and then hung up the phone.
Kagome then called her brother and told him the plan. She went to sleep after setting her alarm clock for 8.
3 hours later
The sound of her annoying alarm woke Kagome up at 8 sharp. She sprung out of bed to take a quick a shower. Stepping out of the shower smelling like Victoria's Secret 'Love Spell' (that smells soooooo good) she went to her room and began rummaging through outfits. She finally picked out a black low rider pleated leather mini-skirt with a black spaghetti-strapped tight fitting mid-riff and a sleeveless crimson leather jacket that stopped short just below her breast. On the back of her jacket she had it customized to read 'TOUCH' in bold black letters and a small black poison skull symbol. She added a chain to her hip that repeated the word caution linked together and her sliver bracelets and chain and slipped on her black and red 2-inch heels that strapped around her leg all the way up to her calves. She put mousse in her hair so that instead of it being long and straight it would be shorter and curly.
She phoned her brother who picked her up in the in 10 minutes wearing black pants and an open blue button down with a black wife-beater under it along with his navy blue timberland boots.
"Hey Pooh Bear" she smiled at him after getting into the passengers side.
Souta looked her over like she was crazy. "What the hell are you wearing?" he scowled.
"Clothes…duh" she answered sarcastically
"You call those clothes" he indicated pointing at her outfit.
She rolled her eyes. "Souta don't make me take a taxi"
"But look at-" he began to complain
"I'll walk Souta I swear I will" she threatened.
"To hell you will…my little sister isn't walking anywhere wearing that" he said and took of toward the club where they would meet Sango and Kohaku.
"Souta when we get to the club you have to promise not to cause a scene ok" she pleaded.
"I'll try" he said
"No you have to promise" she said seeing right through his answer.
"Fine!" he pouted.
20 minutes later
Souta's midnight blue Lexus pulled up in front of the club. He and Kagome got out and the valet took the car. They walked towards Sango who was waiting at the door wearing white low-rider pants, a white and magenta tube top and magenta toe out sandals. Kohaku was standing next to her wearing an outfit similar to Souta's only he had a green button down and a white shirt under that.
"Damn Munchkin you look hot!" said Sango
"You look equally sexy" Kagome replied
Kohaku and Souta looked pissed. The girls just rolled their eyes.
"You let her leave the house wearing that" Kohaku whispered to Souta.
"She's sneaky man…real sneaky. What about Monster her outfit isn't as bad as Bunny's but still…" he trialed off.
"You really think I want to ignite her fuse…pfft!" Souta laughed at him.
"You guys ready to go inside?" the girls asked.
"Yea" they answered
Sango greeted the bouncer who obviously knew her and allowed them inside. Once inside the boys told their sisters to behave and disappeared into the crowd. The girls then made their way over to the bar. There at the bar serving drinks was a man with short black hair tied into a ponytail at the nape of his neck wearing a black wife-beater and black pants with a rocawear belt.
"Sango I didn't expect to see you here tonight…and who is your lovely friend?" the guy asked.
Sango rolled her eyes. "This is my closest friend almost like my sister, Kagome a.k.a. Munchkin and she's off limits to you perv."
"Sango you wound me" they guy feigned hurt. "Hello Kagome my name is Miroku and I'm ecstatic to say that I'll be serving you you're hearts desire tonight." Miroku said with a perverted grin.
Kagome blushed. "Nice to meet you…I think" she chuckled.
"So what do you have worth drinking back there Miroku?" asked Sango
"I've got the perfect thing." he turned his back to the girls and began simultaneously pouring different liquors into a shaker and adding ice. He began shaking it up and smoothly with one hand set up two glasses and poured the contents into them. He pushed the drinks toward them and they eyed him warily.
"What is this?" asked Kagome giving the drink a skeptical look
"It's my version of sex on the beach." He grinned.
"Figures" said Sango.
Both girls took a cautious sip of their drink. Their eyes widened considerably.
"This is actually good" complimented Sango with a surprised tone.
The girls finished their drinks and he poured them another. "I'll be right back girls"
said Miroku when his pager went off. He went to the back room. Sango and Kagome sat there chatting and laughing at some of the people in the club.
Miroku returned. "My apologies ladies that was my cousin he should be here any minute." And as if on cue a guy appeared behind Sango and Kagome.
"Hey Inuyasha I was just saying you'd be here." Kagome gasped and almost choked on her drink.
"You ok munchkin?" asked Sango while she and Miroku gave her a weird look.
"Munchkin?" asked Inuyasha. He spun Kagome's barstool around to face him. His eyes widened at her appearance.
"You two know each other?" asked Sango and Miroku in unison.
"Yea he's the guy I was telling you about from earlier." Sango looked at the guy again.
"Hello I'm still confused over here." said Miroku.
While Sango was filling him in Kagome stood up.
"Hey Inuyasha didn't expect to see you again so soon." She said smiling at him.
Inuyasha was too busy gaping at her attire to hear what she was saying.
"Um hello Inuyasha?" Kagome said waving a hand in front of his face.
"Oh um hey…you look...hella sexy Kagome." he complimented her.
"Thanks" she blushed. "You too." She added taking a look at the grey slightly baggy pants he wore and the crimson button down shirt with the white wife beater under it. He matched himself pretty well and to top it all off he had the matching grey, crimson, and white timberlands boots to go with it. The outfit altogether brought out the color of his hair really well.
"So who're you here with?" he asked
"Well I came with my brother Souta and met up here with my friend Sango and her brother."
"I see-" he was about to say something but was interrupted.
"So Kagome are you going to properly introduce us or what?" asked Sango.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "This is the ever sweet cough Sango and Sango this is Inuyasha my best challenge since you." She laughed at the last part.
"Nice to meet you Sango" Inuyasha greeted
"Same here…so you're the one who's got little munchkin here all hot and wet" she teased.
Kagome blushed like mad. "SANGO!" she blurted and quickly covered her mouth, giving her the look before she let go.
"Excuse me, don't mind what I say, I have compulsive issues" commented Sango like it was rehearsed. (which it was. Lol.)
"So cuz you came to help me out huh?" asked Miroku
"Hell no, I helped Kanuyami earlier when you should've been, you're her brother not me. Kami the things I do for you people." Inuyasha feigned exasperation.
"But I was busy earlier." defended Miroku
"Yeah, busy chasing skirts…save it I'm here to chill."
"No one understands me" complained Miroku shaking his head.
"Whatever…anyway Kagome do you want to dance?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah why not, I owe you one for kicking you're ass earlier" she joked.
Inuyasha scrunched up his nose at her comment. "Please I let you win"
They began walking towards the dance floor. "Oh really so I guess I'll have to beat you for real another time then." She was baiting him again
"I guess you could always try." He teased.
Lose My Breath by destiny's child came on and (no I'm not a destiny's child freak, but I do like their music) Kagome grabbed Inuyasha and began dancing. It happens to be that Kagome is a rather talented dancer in many styles, especially in modern hip-hop and Inuyasha was a little surprised by the things that she could do many with her rear end. (lmao) No mistake about it Inuyasha was no amateur himself and he soon caught on to her rhythm. They dance together for a while, when a girl came up behind Inuyasha and tapped him on the shoulder.
He stopped dancing and turned around. He was met with the sight of the last person on the earth that he wanted to see. His Ex!
When Inuyasha had stopped dancing Kagome turned round to see what the hold up was and met with sight of Inuyasha glaring at some girl.
"What the hell are you doing her Kikyo?" he growled out. (Keep in mind that there are no demons, mikos, or hanyous in this story)
"I was just out for a night on the town and I thought that I'd go to a club tonight…but I guess It was fate that we should see each other again so soon." She said smiling at him seductively.
"Fate my ass Kikyo, why are you really here?" He asked.
"You know Inuyasha…I miss you. I think I made a mistake in ending us so early." She said stepping closer to him.
He took a step back and bumped into Kagome who was watching the scene with a barely discernable frown. Inuyasha looked at her and their eyes locked.
Kikyo saw this and decided to interrupt the moment. "Who's you're little friend Inuyasha?" she asked while grilling Kagome.
Before he could answer, Kagome did.
"My name is Kagome and I'm far from little…you would be who?" she asked not really interested in the answer.
"I am Inuyasha's girlfriend Kikyo." She replied.
"Kikyo you are not my girlfriend, you broke up with me last month." Inuyasha reminded her.
"Well I was hoping that we could rekindle our old flame."
"Well you're a little too late as you can see, my interest have moved elsewhere, now be gone because you're really fuckin' up my mood."
"Interest elsewhere! I know you're not talking about this little girl"
To answer her question Inuyasha put his arms around Kagome's waist, she added to the effect by leaning into his embrace.
Kikyo was fuming. "You can't be serious. Inuyasha I won't be replaced by some cheap skank."
"Cheap skank am I?" Kagome asked. She did a roundhouse kick on Kikyo shutting her up nicely.
The music stopped and a crowd formed around them. Kikyo got up slowly.
"You little bitch!" she yelled.
Souta, Sango, Kohaku, Miroku and Kanuyami came running to the center of the circle the crowd had formed just in time to see Kagome combo Kikyo. Right jab, left jab and right uppercut and Kikyo was T.K.O. (Technically Knocked Out)
"And she made me promise not to make a scene" Souta commented to Sango and Kohaku. They all shook their heads.
"Inuyasha what's going on here?" asked Miroku
"Kikyo showed up, blah blah blah and she started calling names and then she hit the floor…twice" he informed holding up two fingers and grinning.
"Who the hell let her in here?" fumed Kanuyami.
"I don't know." said Miroku and Inuyasha in unison.
"Dammit I told the bouncer not to let her in here, Kami I even showed the man a picture!" Kanuyami yelled
"Calm down Yami…that's it inhale…exhale." Miroku instructed his sister.
"I can't stand Kikyo…excuse me I have to go unload on security." She turned and began heading towards the bouncer, but then she turned towards Kagome. "Thank You for kicking her ass. I'm guessing you're Kagome…Inuyasha wouldn't shut up about you...AND WILL SOMEONE GET THIS WENCH OFF MY FLOOR!" with that and a smile she resumed her hunt for the bouncer.
"Skitzo I'm telling you" Miroku shook his head "I guess I better get her out of here, uh, Sango could you give me a hand?" he asked
"Sure…and I'm telling Kanuyami you said she was a skitzo" she and Miroku began dragging Kikyo off to the back exit.
Souta and Kohaku came over to Kagome, and Inuyasha and Souta began checking Kagome for physical damage. Inuyasha was giving Souta the 'who the hell are you look'.
"You okay Bunny?" he asked checking her face.
Kagome swatted his hands away. "I'm fine Pooh Bear she didn't touch me."
"Good, now why the hell were you fighting?" he said beginning his nagging.
"Short story…no patience to tell." Kagome answered simply.
"Well find some patience because you will be telling me later." He told her. "Who are you and why are you so close to my little sister?" asked Souta grilling Inuyasha.
Seeing that Inuyasha was about to say something foul Kagome cut in. "This is Inuyasha, remember the guy I told you about earlier."
"Oh…this is Inuyasha"
"What I'm lost who's Inuyasha?" asked Kohaku
"Inuyasha is bunny's boss' younger brother." Souta informed
"Oh I see, and who is he to munchkin?" asked Kohaku
"Well that's what I'd like to know…Bunny?"
Kagome began blushing so Inuyasha finally spoke up. "Let's just say I'm hoping to be more than a friend…and I'm guessing that you're her older brother Souta… who're you?" he asked Kohaku
"I'm sorta like her older cousin, but I'm Sango's older brother."
"Greeeat! Now that the interrogations are over, Souta are you ready to leave?" asked Kagome finally finding her voice.
"No actually I'm not, why do you need a ride?"
"Well yea I do but if you're not ready to go I guess I can wait."
"If you want to leave now I can take you home Kagome." Inuyasha offered.
"I don't think so…there will be no kisses goodbye tonight bunny, I'll take you home"
"Oh Souta give it a rest…you promised" Kagome reminded him.
"Yeah man you can't watch her 24/7." Kohaku added.
"You're supposed to be on my side" Souta grumbled.
Ignoring her brother who was currently mumbling about traitors, kid sisters and promises, Kagome turned back to Inuyasha.
"I think you taking me home would be great let's go before my brother realizes I'm leaving, he's so overprotective." Kagome suggested. "Tell Sango I'll talk to her later Kohaku."
"I will…behave yourself Munchkin." He warned her.
"Can't promise anything." She tossed over her shoulder as she and Inuyasha began walking towards the exit.
The drive to Kagome's apartment was joined by a comfortable silence. Inuyasha pulled up in front of her house in his red BMW.
"Um thanks for driving me home." Kagome smiled at him.
"No problem, I wanted to." He informed her.
"Would you like to come upstairs for a while?" (No, Kagome is not one of those fast girls, she's just being polite, plus Inuyasha is gorgeous who wouldn't invite him upstairs.)
"Uh yeah, you sure your brother won't blow a gasket?" he joked.
"He'll get over it." She laughed.
They both got out of his car and walked to her apartment. They took the elevator to the very top and went to her penthouse apartment.
"Welcome to my humble abode" Kagome pretended to be formal.
"Wow you're pretty well off, Sessh must pay you well" he complimented.
"He does, but my brother bought this for me…Do you want anything to drink?" she asked while taking of her jacket and untying her shoes.
"Yeah, what do you have?" he asked trying to avoid looking at her
"Every carbonated drink known to mankind and orange juice".
"I'll take a coke." (mmmm! I luv coke!).
She tossed him a coke can and flopped down on the couch next to him with her own. They sat there in silence for a while.
"So…are you going to willingly tell me who that Kikyo girl was or am I going to have to force it out of you?"
"It depends on how you force me to tell you…I may not mind your methods too much."
Kagome blushed "There are two ways…I could beat it out of you or I could hmm…I don't know…still beat it out of you."
"Or you could just forget about it and find something more interesting to talk about." He suggested looking her in the eyes.
The moment their eyes met Kagome lost her train of thought. Becoming lost in his liquid gold gaze she was in a trance. His face was inching closer to her and she subconsciously licked her lips. Inuyasha closed his eyes and she followed. He brought her face to his and gently kissed her.
What started out innocent soon gave way to something deeper. He brushed his tongue against her lips for entrance and she obliged him. She leaned towards him until she was pressed against his chest and he put his free arm around her. He rubbed small circles on the small of her back causing Kagome to emit a small moan. He nibbled on her lower lip and she tangled her fingers in his hair. They continued until they were both pressed for air.
Inuyasha was the one to reluctantly pull away. They sat there tangled up in each other breathing hard.
"Damn…" was the only thing he could manage.
The moment was ruined by the sound of Kagome's phone ringing. She sighed and began getting up to answer it, but Inuyasha pulled her towards him, not quit ready to let go.
"I really should get that." She whispered feeling like if she spoke to loud that reality would come crashing down on her.
"Just let it ring whoever it is will hang up sooner or later." He whispered back, but the phone kept ringing.
"It's probably my brother having a fit because I didn't call him yet."
He sighed "Then I guess you do have to get that…I wouldn't want you're brother to start a search party, he seems liable to do that."
"Yeah or worse he might call my ji-chan." She reluctantly got up and answered the phone.
It was a cordless so once she picked it up she sat back down with Inuyasha. He wrapped his arms back around her.
"Moshi Moshi" she greeted
"Don't Moshi Moshi me…where the hell are you?"
"Hi Souta" she said rolling her eyes. "I'm home sorry I didn't call you sooner."
"Yeah well what kept you?"
"Nothing really it just slipped my mind I was kinda exhausted."
"Mmhm…who is there with you?"
"Inuyasha is…why?"
"WHAT?"
Kagome physically cringed at his volume…Inuyasha could hear him and was laughing.
"Calm down Souta it's no big deal." She said trying to placate him.
"No big deal Kagome he's a guy and it's past midnight…he should be home and you should be asleep."
"Souta I'm 21 not 12 and love you very much, but I would appreciate if you would let me make my own decisions and stop treating me like a child."
"Bunny…look I just worry…I don't want a repeat of Kouga okay."
"I know Pooh Bear…but I learn from my mistakes."
"I hope so…just be careful, Aishiteru bunny."
"Aishiteru" and she hung up.
She turned to Inuyasha. "He worries you know?"
"Yeah, if I had a younger sister I would probably be neurotic too."
She laughed at his assessment of the situation. "He is neurotic isn't he." she said it more than she asked it.
"So are you going to tell me who Kouga is and why your brother doesn't want any repeat of him?" he changed the subject.
"Are you going to tell me what the deal is with Kikyo?"
"Fine you win." He pouted
She smirked at him and kissed his cheek. "You're cute when you pout"
He looked almost appalled. "I do not…oh whatever…didn't you want to know about Kikyo?"
She coughed a little to stifle her laugh. "Okay I'm sorry."
He pulled her closer to his chest and she leaned into him even more.
"It started about a year ago. She and I got together and things were really good. Anyway half way into the relationship things got weird and she became distant. I don't know what it was but it felt to me like something was really wrong. She didn't kiss the same and even the sex was lame."
Kagome tensed a little and a blush formed on her face. He stopped his story and looked at her.
"What?" she asked.
"Why are you blushing." He asked her.
"I'm not blushing." She defended
"Yes you are…now tell me why."
She stayed silent and turned her face from him.
His eyes widened when he realized. "Kagome are you a virgin?"
She darkened by ten shades of red.
"Kami you are…I didn't know girls like you still existed."
"Well they do and yes I'm a virgin…you got a problem with that?"
"Not at all, I think it's cute."
"Seriously?" she asked.
"Yeah its not often a guy finds a good looking girl who hasn't been around".
She smiled at him "Okay continue"
"Well a few months ago I thought she was cheating on me…I didn't know for sure so I didn't accuse her of anything. I still had my suspicions but, last month when I came home there was a message on my answering machine with Kikyo dumping me. And since then I've despised her." He finished.
"Do you have any regrets?" she asked him.
"Too many for my liking…now what's the deal with this Kouga guy?"
"He was a great guy really but, he wanted something I couldn't give."
"What was that?"
"He wanted to have sex"
"So you couldn't or wouldn't?"
"I couldn't. I wasn't ready to give up that part of me. And although I loved him he didn't love me enough. When I told him no he left me on the spot. I was heartbroken. So much that I couldn't even be angry. When I told Souta he wanted to kill him, but I told him to forget it. Every since then Souta has issues with me dating afraid of a repeat of Kouga. But the funny thing is I think I was sad because of the reason he left more than of him leaving at all. Its like I loved him but I knew he wasn't the one for me…I guess that's why I couldn't be with him the way he wanted me to.
"I can understand that…when Kikyo broke up with me I wasn't hurt because she dumped me but more because of the way she did it…I guess we both knew they weren't the one."
"I guess so." she agreed as a tear fell down her face.
Inuyasha looked at her. "Why are you crying?"
She sniffed once "It's just that I haven't talked about Kouga since I told Souta not to go after him."
"Hey don't cry for him he not worth it." His voice was soft as he wiped the tear with the pad of his thumb.
Leaning back into his embrace she lifted her face to meet his lips. Denying her nothing he kissed her back fully. She turned her body to face his. Inuyasha leaned back further until his back was flat against the seat of the couch, Kagome's body draped over him. He wrapped his arms tighter around her and she caressed his face with the tips of her fingers while deepening the kiss.
Then the phone rang.
She stopped kissing him and dropped her forehead against his. They laughed out loud together while looking at the caller I.D. It was no other than Souta.
She smiled at him and he smiled back.
"I should get that" she said.
"And I should get going." He kissed her quickly and they got up.
Kagome picked up the phone. "Yes Souta" she said pretending to yawn.
"Were you sleeping?" he asked
"Yes or at least I was on my way." She complained.
"Are you alone?"
"Yes now bye Souta and don't call me again tonight." With that she hung up.
Inuyasha stood bye the door grinning. "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
"I have work, but then I'm free. I get off around five."
"Alright then I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Sure." She smiled.
He leaned down and kissed her one last time then left.
