Case of the Ex: Part 1: The Beginning

Chapter 8: her answer, his secret, and Cherokee

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the songs used.

"Kagome?"

Silence

More Silence

"Kagome" he asked again.

"What am I suppose to say, Sesshoumaru! Yes, I wanted to have sex with my best friend?" Kagome hissed as she moved to get out of bed and she was about to but Sesshoumaru pulled her to him again and hugged her. Kagome felt him buried his head into her neck and take a long intake of breath, smelling her scent.

"No, but the truth would be nice" he whispered as he got up from the bed, wrapping the sheet around his waist. Before he went into his bathroom he said, with his back facing her. "He doesn't love you Kagome. Not as much as I do". Then he went into his bathroom and closed the door. Minutes later the water could be heard.

Kagome sat there on the edge of his bed, in shock had she heard him correctly? Did she hear him say that he loved her? But the question was…how does she feel about him? She had known Sesshoumaru before she met Inuyasha. She connected with him more than she did with Inuyasha. Inuyasha was all about sex when Sesshoumaru was about class and respect. But she felt some feelings towards him but she couldn't bring herself to love him back? And way was that you might ask? That's because;

She still had feelings for Inuyasha!

Even though he had hurt her the way he did, that doesn't take away all of the times that they had spent together. She felt sorry for herself. She really did. She wanted to love Sesshoumaru back, but how can she do that? Sighing Kagome got up from the bed and put on her nightclothes and walked out of Sesshoumaru's room and into hers.

She went into her bedroom and took a shower. Forty-five minutes later she came out in only a towel. She went into her closet and picked out, a blue tank top and dark blue hip huggers. Pulling her hair into a high ponytail Kagome went over to her bed and sat down on the edge of it, picking up her phone she dialed Sango's number.

Ring

Ring

"Hello"

"Hey Sango"

"Kagome Alexandra Higurashi, what was so important that you couldn't even call your best friend" Sango asked heatedly.

"Sorry, mom. But things have been complicated here. But I'm fine" Kagome said

"So…?" Sango drawled out

"So, I was wondering if you would want to come with me and Sesshoumaru to the new Cherokee place, Miroku invited as well" Kagome asked

"You mean…Shikon No Tama? Yeah sure we would love to go" Sango exclaimed excitedly. She was finally going to see her friend.

"Kool, we'll meet you there"

"Okay"

"Bye"

"Bye"

Click

Kagome smiled. Now the next step is to try and get Sesshoumaru to agree into taking her. Kagome got up off of the bed and walked to Sesshoumaru's room, and knocked on the door.

"Enter"

She turned the doorknob and opened the door thinking. 'Here goes nothing'.

O.O

He sighed as he sat on the stool, watching television. He had nothing better to do with his time, Kikyou was never home and he had no friends what so ever. Inuyasha started to wonder if he should tell her what he found out yesterday. He had went to the doctor yesterday to get a check up to see if Kikyou had given him something and found out that he didn't catch anything and that was a relief. Cause if he had then he would have thrown her ass out, but that's beside the point. The doctor had told him that he couldn't have any kids because some thing happed to him when he was little. But thing is that he couldn't remember, maybe he should ask him father or something. Inuyasha was pulled out of his thoughts when Kikyou came through the door.

'Fuck, she smells like Naraku' he thought disgustingly. He didn't do anything, but turn his head the other when she came up to him to give him a kiss. He looked her over when she was in the kitchen; she was wearing a black tight tank top and a mini skirt. She was 2 months pregnant and she was wearing that kind of clothing. If he really did care about her then he would have demanded that she take that tight clothing off was she trying to kill the baby? Cause with all of that stuff that she was wearing she was doing a good fucking job.

"So what are we doing today, Inu-honey" she asked as she grabbed a glass of orange juice.

"Well I thought that we could go to Shikon No Tama and sing a bit" Inuyasha said

Kikyou brighten a bit and she put the glass in the sink and walked up to him. She hugged him and he thought that he was going to gag, but said nothing.

"That's a great idea. Let's go" Kikyou exclaimed and grabbed his hand and ran out the door.

O.O

"Miroku get ready, Kagome just called and wanted us to meet her at Shikon No Tama" Sango shouted to her husband, as she sat calmly on the couch watching television and drinking tea. When Kagome called she was already dressed. She was wearing a shimmering red halter-top and a black skirt that stopped at her knees and moved with her whenever she walked.

"I'm ready," Miroku said as he walked out of the bedroom wearing a purple button up shirt, with two buttons undone and black baggy jeans. Sango smiled and stood up.

"You look nice," she said as she hugged and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled.

"You look beautiful"

"Thanks" she blushed.

"Come on" he said as he grabbed her hand and lead her out the house and to their car.

O.O

Kagome stepped into Sesshoumaru's room and gasped. He had only on a pair of black baggy jeans, no shirt and his hair was wet. He turned around.

"What can I do for you Kagome?" he asked as he grabbed a white shirt from his bed and pulled it over his head.

"Ummm…I was wondering if you would want to go to Shikon No Tama?" Kagome asked

"Yeah..sure why not" Sesshoumaru smiled at her and she blushed.

"Come on lets go" she said as she grabbed his hand and walked out of his room and was out of the door before you could say 'whip flash'.

O.O

When Kagome got to the bar, Sango and Miroku were already there getting out of the car. Sango and Kagome hugged each other and went into the bar chatting all the way. Sesshoumaru and Miroku were left behind staring at Kagome and Sango's backs.

"Hey Sesshoumaru"

"Hey Miroku"

With that they went into the bar, sitting at the table that Sango and Kagome were sitting at. Sesshoumaru was sitting on the right side of Kagome and Sango on the left of her with Miroku on the right of Sango. (A/N: confusing?)

Kagome looked around the place. She saw that there were rounded tables in the middle of the room, a stage up front and a bar to the far left to the wall. It was simple but it was cool since they had flashing lights. Kagome got up and walked over to the person that was in charge of the Cherokee and told him their names. He smiled and nodded and she smiled and walked back to her seat. But before she could reach her seat she saw Inuyasha and Kikyou sitting at a table near the bar laughing and smiling.

"Oh shit" she whispered. Inuyasha must have heard her because he turned around to look at her and he widened his eyes.

'Oh boy' they thought as Kagome walked quickly back to her seat and Inuyasha returned his attention back to Kikyou who was looking at him curiously.

At the table Kagome told them what happened and they looked at her worriedly.

"Guys, I'm fine..really" she reassured them

"Are you sure?" Miroku asked

"Yes"

"That's not the worst part, Kagome. I heard that Kikyou is pregnant with his baby" Sango whispered

"I don't care what that fucker does with his dick. He is not ruining my fun" Kagome hissed as Sesshoumaru put his arm around her.

The three of them nodded as they looked to the stage when a fat man appeared on stage hold the microphone. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and black tie underneath. He was bald and wore glasses that were round and small.

"Hello ladies and gentenlman and welcome to Shkon No Tama. I'm your host Mr. Forman and let's get the singing started. The first contestant is Ms. Kikyou" he announced and everyone started to clap for her as she bounced up the stares, but the four friends. She got the microphone and smiled brightly at Inuyasha and said. "This is for my love, Inuyasha" she looked over at the man who was in charge for the music and told him what she wanted to sing and he nodded.

The music started and she started to sing, badly:

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high, can't come down
Losing my head
Spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
Tasting the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip
From my devil cup
Slowly taking over me

Too high, can't come down
It's in the air
And it's all around
Can you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
Tasting the poison paradise
I'm additcted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
Tasting the poison paradise
I'm additcted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
Tasting the poison paradise
I'm additcted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

Intoxicate me now
With your loving now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your loving now
I think I'm ready now

By the time that she finished the song, everyone had covered their ears. Some where on the floor clutching their heads in pain. Mr. Former ran up stage and shoved her off and grabbed the microphone and said, "You can't sing"

"Yeah"

"NO SHIT" one screamed

"Now on to our next singer, and hopefully he can sing is Mr. Inuyasha," he said as everyone clapped as Inuyasha got up and walked up the stage and grabbed the mic. He turned to the person that was in charge of music and told him what he wanted and he nodded slowly.

Kagome had never heard him sing before and was shocked when she heard the music start and he sung wonderfully.

I saw you walking
Down on Melrose
You looked like an angel
Straight out of heaven, girl
I was blown away by
Your sexiness
All I have to do is catch up to you


Slow down I just wanna get to know you

Inuaysha looked over to Kagome for a minute and then turned his attention to Kikyou who stood up and clapped wildly for him along with every one else. He walked down the stage and back to his seat.

Mr. Former came up and took the mic. "Next we have Ms. Sango," he said as everyone clapped.

Sango smiled and kissed Miroku on the cheek and whispered in his ear. "Pay attention" and he nodded as she walked up to the stage. She took the guy what song she wanted and he nodded. The song started and she sang:

The real me is a southern girl with her Levis on and an open heart
Wish I could say the save the world, like I was super girl
The real me is to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately I've been jaded life got so complicated

I'm still thinking about it almost forgot what it was like
Do you know what it feels like?
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you
Now that I'm with you

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
Cuz I'm still thinking about it almost forgot what it was like
Do you know what it feels like?
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you

Come and take me
Love you save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself
With you
With you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now (Baby as I do now)
Now that I'm with you

Sango looked at Miroku and smiled brightly and he returned it as she ran off stage not listening to the many people who were clapping for her and hugged her husband kissing him passionately. They stopped when they heard him call Miroku's name.

"Kagome" he hissed, looking over at her. She had a smile on her face.

"What I heard you sing before and you sounded great. So why not sing now?" she said innocently.

"Whatever" he said as got up and went to the stage where he told the guy what he wanted to sing and he played it. When the song started and he started to sing Sango looked at him and thought "Yep Kagome was right he can sing' she smiled brightly when she saw him look at her while he was singing.

Ladies and gentlemen
It's my pleasure to introduce to you
He's a friend of mine
Yes, yes I am
And he goes by the name... (haha)
Justin
Wowwww

All the way
from Memphis, Tennessee
And he's got somethin' special for y'all tonight
He's gonna sing a song for y'all
About this girl

Come in right here?

Yea, come on
On that sunny day didn't know I'd meet,
Such a beautiful girl walking down the street
Seen those bright brown eyes
With tears coming down (so he said to himself)
She deserves a crown
But where is it now
Mama listen

Senorita, I feel for you
You deal with things, that you don't have to
He doesn't love ya, I can tell by his charm
But you could feel this real love
If you just lay in my

Running fast in my mind
Girl won't you slow it down
If we carry on this way this thing might leave the ground
How would you like to fly?
That's how my queen should ride
But you still deserve a crown
Well hasn't it been found?
Mama listen..

Senorita, I feel for you (feel for you)
You deal with things, that you don't have to (no, no)
He doesn't love ya, I can tell by his charm
(he don't love ya baby)
But you could feel this real love (feel it)
If you just lay in my...

Ah, ah, arms...
(Won't you lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms...
(Mama lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms...
(Baby won't you lay in my)
Ah, ah, arms...

When I look into your eyes
I see something that money can't buy
And I know if you give us a try
I'll work hard for you girl
And no longer will you ever have to cry...

Senorita, I feel for you
You deal with things, that you don't have to
(Deal with things you don't have to)
He doesn't love ya, I can tell by his charm (no, no)
But you could feel this real love (feel it)
If you just lay in my...

Ah, ah, arms...
(Whoa)
Ah, ah, arms...
(My baby)
Ah, ah, arms...
(Oooh, yea)
Ah, ah, arms...

When I look into your eyes
I see something that money can't buy
And I know if you give us a try
I'll work hard for you girl
You won't ever cry

Now listen,
I wanna try some right now,
See they don't do this anymore.
I'ma sing something
And I want the guys to sing with me
They go:
"It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?"
And then the ladies go
"I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you"
Guys sing!
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
And ladies..
I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you
Feels good don't it? Come on
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
Yea, ladies
I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you
Show the good to me

Sing it one more time
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
Ladies,
I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you
Yea, yea..
It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?
Ladies,
I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you

Gentlemen, good night, Ladies, good morning

That's it

He finished and walked off stage smiling at Sango and pulled her into a hug whispering "I love you Sango"

"I love you to, my little pervert" she smiled and he chuckled. They sat down and looked at the stage when Mr. Former came up and said "And now for our next performer, we have Mr. Sesshoumaru" everyone clapped.

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome and she giggled nervously.

"What"

"I can't believe you did that," he said dangerously

"Oh come on Fluffy. Please sing" she asked giving him the puppy dog look

"Whatever"

He walked up to the stage and grabbed the mic telling the guy what he wanted to sing and when the music started, he looked at Kagome and started to sing.

Mmmm... MMMM... Yeah

Baby I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume the make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are you stick around and I just don't know why

If I was yo man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'll be coming home (back to you)
Every night doin' you right
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Wish for the diamonds (I have the ring)
Baby you're a star ( I just want to show you, you are)

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

Listen
Your true beauty's description looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety - nine and it's a shame don't even know what you're worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
Cause you're bad and it shows from your head to your toes
Out of control baby you know

If I was yo man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'll be coming home (back to you)
Every night doin' you right
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Wish for the diamonds (I have the ring)
Baby you're a star ( I just want to show you, you are)

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

You deserve better girl (you know you deserve better)
We should be together girl (baby)
With me and you it's whatever girl
So can we make this thing ours?

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

Let me love you that's all you need baby

Sesshoumaru put back the mic and calmly walked back to him seat, seeing that his friend and his brother were speechless.

"What?" he asked

"You sing beautiful, Sesshoumaru" Kagome whispered

"Yeah" Sango and Miroku said together in agreement

"Whatever" he said and blushed some.

"Hey Kagome when do you go" Sango asked leaning in. When Kagome was about to answer Mr. Former announced that Kagome was next.

"Right now" Kagome said happily. She was about to get up when she whispered in Sesshoumaru's ear, "Listen to me sing carefully" she said and pecked him on the cheek. Shocked he nodded slowly and watched as she bounced up the stage. She turned around and told the guy what she wanted to sing and he nodded. When the music started she looked at him and smiled then she began to sing:

You complete me
Like air & water boy I need thee
And when I'm in your arms I feel free, fallen
My head's up in the clouds
In love, I'm proud to say it loud
Like an accident it happened
Outta nowhere it just happened
And I ain't mad at all because...

I've fallen...head over heels
I've fallen...in love with you
I've fallen... and I can't get up
Don't wanna get up because of love

Baby to let you get away is crazy
So I'm doin' what it takes
To make you pledge your love to me
You see, 'cause I'm trying to be your lady
Forever and ever baby
The picture wouldn't be the same
If you weren't standing next to me
Can't you see I've fallen

You compliment me, not an accessory
You're necessary

Whenever this big bad world scares me
You're there with me yeah
Security, are you here with me
You're my happiness my joy
I smile because of you boy
I look forward to the time I spend with you
Whatever it is we do
'Cause I've fallen for you boy
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Fallen


I've fallen for you boy
Head over heels for you
So in love with you
In love, for you

Touch me, touch me
Hold me, hold me
Love me, love me
Kiss me, in love with you
Talk to me, talk to me
Caress me, lay with me
Don't want to get up, explore me
You're my everything

"Fallen"

When she was done she smiled and bowed and walked over to her seat not aware of angry golden eyes that watched her. 'Sesshoumaru can't have her….she's mine' Inuyasha thought as he looked back to Kikyou who was to busy studying her nails.

"So did you like the song?" Kagome asked slyly

"Yes….I did very much" Sesshoumaru said smiling kissing her.

"I bet you did" she replied. Laying her head on his shoulder, watching and listening to other people sing. All the while their friends looking at them with a smile on their faces.

'About time' they thought

O.O
