Hey my lovely readers! Look at this fast chapter! Woot, proud of me?
So when are things going to heat up between Inuyasha and Kagome…well, I have to be evil on this one, I have a really nice thing that is going to thicken the plot, this will come later, three words: Car crash, death, you think of the last word.
The Kikyo and Naraku thing, well, things are definitely going to heat up between them two, I mean, it just has to right?
And about what Kikyo said about Kagome in like the second chapter. ("She's using you, Inuyasha!") When he is going to find out…I have no idea…you'll see…
Oh, and the sex scene, hm…no idea yet. Let's have a vote…skip over that or still do it. I mean they're gonna wear those skin tight outfits if they do it anyways.
Well, well, well…have fun reading this!
Crawling in the Dark
Chapter Fifteen
"I can be you hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away."
- Hero by Enrique Iglesias
"But Kagome, you need more time to have fun! You can't be too stressed out!" Sango complained and tried dragging Kagome out the door. They were going to a club and their plan was to dance all night.
"I'm stressed out when you guys are the ones complaining to me everyday about not enough practice time." Kagome rolled her eyes and mumbled. She wasn't going anywhere, especially not to a bar or club, where she could get drunk and probably make the biggest mistakes of her life. Yes, she was stubborn, so what?
"Kagome! Stop being so damn annoying!" Ayame screamed, trying to persuade her.
"Guys, I don't need to go to some 'club'…" she quoted with her fingers, "…to relax, I can relax right here…" Kagome then plopped herself onto the couch, convincing them she should stay.
"You are such a great actress," Ayame said sarcastically.
"You've been on that couch all day doing nothing, but stressing out. Today's your break, so you deserve to have some fun," Sango sighed.
"Yes, exactly. Yesterday was your acting day, today is your break. B-R-E-A-K. You know what that means?" Ayame went into her room to find some clothes.
"Ok, ok, fine. As long as you guys stop annoying me," Kagome gave in and got up, then started heading out the door.
"Wait!" Ayame ran towards the door, blocking her from getting out, "What the heck are you doing going out like that?" She looked down at her clothes in disgust, "No way, you have to look better. I think I have just the thing."
Kagome ended up wearing one of Ayame's dresses. It was a dark blue spaghetti strap and the neckline was draped. The dress went down to her knees.
"I thought we were going to a regular club." Kagome looked at herself in the mirror. It was way too formal for her taste.
"Well, it's sort of formal I guess." Sango put on the last bit of make up. She was wearing a black halter top.
"Yeah and we're going to dinner first." Ayame's hair was in a lose bun, not too neat, not too messy. Her dress was strapless dark red.
"You guys, I really don't feel comfortable wearing this to a restaurant, everyone's going to stare." Kagome put on her heels and grabbed a purse.
"So? Let them stare, especially the guys." Ayame put her lip gloss in her purse and put on her shoes also.
&
The three girls walked into the restaurants. Kagome was right, everyone did stare, Sango and Ayame didn't mind though. They got a table and the waiter gave them their menus.
"Can I ask you a question?" The waiter asked stupidly, while staring at the girls' dresses.
"Um…sure." Sango answered.
"Why are you guys like all dressed up?"
This almost made the three choke on their own spit! Why they all were dressed up? What a stupid question!
Ayame caught her breath and said as seriously as possible, "Because we feel like it and we're just crazy like that."
He looked horrified, "Really?"
"No! Joking, joking…it's a joke…take it." She rolled her eyes and the girls laughed some more.
"Ok…" He nodded his head slowly, because no one would actually answer his question.
"Well, can we hold on these menus? We're waiting for another person." Sango broke the silence and asked sweetly. The waiter nodded and left.
"Who are we waiting for Sango?" Kagome asked.
"Miroku of course!" She clasped her hands together and gleamed.
"Miroku?"
"Yeah…"
"But he's in LA."
"No, he came yesterday, said he took a break to visit me, how cute is that?"
"You never told me that."
"Really? It must have slipped my mind; I mean everyone was so busy."
"Yeah, I guess so."
No wonder Sango wanted to go so bad and wouldn't take no for an answer, Miroku was coming! From LA to the NYC, did they miss each other that much? Kagome shook her head, if only Hojo would do that to her, she would like to see Hojo again, he was such a nice boy, and very different from Inuyasha…
"I think I see him!" Sango gasped and ran to the door as fast as she could. It was Miroku. They hugged each other as if they haven't seen each other in years and let go after a few minutes. They then gave sweet little kisses, even though Miroku was hoping for more.
"Oh my god babe, you look so beautiful! I missed you so much!" Miroku gave one of his sexy grins.
"Oh, me too honey! I think about you everyday!" Sango and Miroku hugged some more.
Kagome and Ayame just stared at each other and tried not to laugh. They were way over exaggerating it. It has been only a week or two.
"Well, I brought two people with me." Miroku finally said, after about half an hour of hugging and kissing.
"Oh?" Sango looked suspiciously.
"Yeah, you guys come in, no need to stand out there." He waved his hands.
The two guys were Inuyasha and Kouga. Kagome was a little disappointed. She was hoping she wouldn't see him again. She got way more than enough time with him making the movie. And Kouga, she hasn't seen him in a while, does he even recognize her?
"Kagome…two cute guys…they could be our dates." Ayame said in a low whisper. She then got up and went to greet them. Kagome followed her; she didn't want to be sitting there all by herself.
"Hi, I'm Ayame." She smiled and introduced herself to Kouga.
"Hey sexy, I'm Kouga." Kouga looked at her and smirked, this made Ayame giggle; she was really attracted to him. Was it that love at first sight thing? Maybe it was…
Kagome stared at a blank wall. She was going to act normal, act like a friend to Inuyasha, or hopefully a friend. Just be normal…
"Well, let's go sit down." Sango suggested.
&
The dinner went actually pretty well. Sango talked about what has happened in New York and Miroku talked about what Sango missed in LA. Ayame and Kouga did a lot of flirting; they were very attached to each other. As for Inuyasha and Kagome, they just talked.
"So where's Kikyo?" Kagome asked the question she's been wondering for a while now.
"I called her today to come, but she said she was busy, something about school." He shrugged and took a bite of his steak.
"How's she been? I haven't seen her in a while."
"Well, she's pretty, that's for sure." He laughed at this at stared up into the roof, "And she hasn't changed since high school, still the same."
"I'm guessing that's a good thing?" The conversations felt normal, they were coming without Kagome actually thinking about it.
"Oh yeah, lively, fun, she's all that."
"That's great, when are you two getting married?" That question came out of no where and Kagome didn't even feel anything when it came out.
Inuyasha paused, he had never even thought about this, he had never discussed with Kikyo about this. And now Kagome's here, asking him about marriage. It really made him think, when are they getting married?
"Let's not talk about me, why don't we…talk about you." He suggested.
Kagome laughed, "It's pretty boring."
"Nothing better to do."
Kagome told Inuyasha about college, which classes she took, and what an experience it was. She also told him about getting the letter for the movie and summer break.
"You went back for summer break?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, Fourth of July," Kagome said thoughtfully.
Inuyasha suddenly remembered, "Were you the one at Miroku's house?"
Kagome thought about it for a while, "Actually, I think that was me and Ayame."
"So that's who crashed our party."
"Not exactly crashed…" She rolled her eyes.
"We were having a high school reunion sort of thing."
"Oh, awesome."
"Yeah, high school was pretty cool."
"I guess it was." For Kagome it wasn't the best experience. She didn't really have any friends or a social life at all.
"And when we started dating…" Inuyasha stopped himself before saying more. This was such a mistake. It brought back, once again, so many memories. They weren't painful, but they weren't pleasant either. It was just…awkward. Flashbacks of every date flashed through both of their minds.
Kagome bit her lips, why did he have to mention that? She was doing fine just now. Inuyasha had to ruin it. This was probably going to ruin her night.
Damn! That just came out of thin air! How stupid! Why did he have to bring that out? She's probably not talking to him again. High school was over; it was in the past, stop thinking about it!
"Hey, if you two would stop staring into space, we would like to go now." Ayame laughed. Her arms were wrapped around Kouga's waist and Kougas' around her shoulders. They really did look like a cute couple.
"Oh, yeah, let's go." Kagome quickly grabbed her stuff and followed everyone.
&
"Today's for all the couples!" The DJ announced.
They had arrived at ACID, it was regularly a club, but today was a special occasion. Everyone was dressed up and the place was beautifully decorated.
"Woo!" Ayame yelled and got to the dance floor immediately. They were playing Disco Inferno by 50 cent. It was one of her favorite songs; she memorized every single word of it.
"Yo mama show me how you move it,
Go ahead- put ya back into it,
Do your thing like there aint nothin to it,
Shake...shh..shh..shake that ass girl."
Kouga, Miroku, and Sango all joined her.
Ayame and Sango grinded against Miroku and Kouga, things couldn't get better.
"Go, Go, Go, 50 in the house - bounce, y'all already know what I'm about.
The flow sounds sicker over Dre' drums nigga,
I ain't stupid - I see Doc and my dope come quicker.
Whoa!"
"Oh c'mon guys! Dance!" Ayame yelled at Kagome and Inuyasha for standing there.
"You guys are ruining all the fun!" Sango followed.
"You don't come here just to stand there." Kouga rolled his eyes, he didn't really care about them two right now, all he cared about was Ayame and the feeling of her dancing all over him.
Kagome joined in, as well as Inuyasha. It was kind of boring just standing there, so might as well dance.
"Shorty' hips is hypnotic, she moves its so erotic, but watch - I'm gone bounce
that ass girl.
I get it crunk in here, I make it jump in here, front in here, we'll thump in
here.
Oooohh."
Kagome shook her hips from side to side with the music, while Inuyasha just danced with the beat. It was actually sort of fun, she loved dancing, but was usually too embarrassed to do it.
Kagome got a lot of the guys coming up to her and trying to dance with her, but she turned them all away.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome; she was actually pretty good of a dancer. It didn't look strange one bit. Now if only Kikyo was here, they would have a blast. He would dance with Kikyo all night and they wouldn't let go of each other.
"Shake...Shake..shh..shh..shake that ass girl."
The song was over.
"Now here's one for the couples!" The DJ said enthusiastically.
The music came on and immediately, Ayame and Sango screamed. It was the song Hero by Enrique Iglesias, a perfect, romantic song to slow dance with.
"Let me be your hero." Miroku whispered with the song and to Sango. She giggled, it was way too cute. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. Sango loosened her grip on his neck and leaned her head against his chest. All of the two weeks were made up in this dance, this moment.
"Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back.
Would you cry if you saw me crying,
Would you save my soul tonight?"
Kouga put out his hand, for Ayame to take. It was a polite way of asking, "Would you dance with me?" Ayame blushed a little; she had never felt like this before. This feeling was so overwhelming.
"I can be you hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever;
You can take my breath away."
Ayame and Kouga were consumed into their own world, their own thoughts; it was as if no one else was around and they were just dancing under the night sky.
Sango and Miroku looked like they would never let go. They were just dancing away, and away; drifting away and away.
"Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care, you're here tonight,"
Kagome was bopping her head slowly to the music. Inuyasha was tapping his feet to the rhythm. They were both looking around as if they knew what they were doing. Finally, Inuyasha's eyes landed on Kagome. Kagome's eyes couldn't rip apart from his gaze.
"I can be you hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away."
"So…" He said.
"So…" She replied.
"Wanna dance?"
"Sure."
"I just want to hold you,
I just want to hold you, oh yeah.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight."
They held each other, not too close and not too far. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha.
"So are you enjoying tonight?" She asked, might as well bring up a conversation.
"Yeah, I guess so." He led Kagome along with the beat.
"I can be you hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away."
"It's different, you know?" Inuyasha shrugged a little.
"Yeah, it is different."
"I don't think we've ever danced together."
"Well, the movie."
"That doesn't count, I mean real dances."
"I can be you hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain,
I will stand by you forever,
You can take my breath away."
Kagome did it; she actually danced with him without having her feelings in the way. It felt normal, like they were dancing because they were friends, not couples. She liked this feeling and wanted it to last.
Here Inuyasha was, dancing with his fiancé's worst enemy. What was he thinking? He loved Kikyo, so why was he dancing with Kagome? Truthfully, every time he was near Kagome, he thought of Kikyo. She reminded him of her so much, yet they were so different.
"You can take my breath, my breath away,
I can be your hero."
Oh…so they sort of become friends…not really…but sort of, just for the day (heh, I'm evil) And of course, just a reminder, Inuyasha and Kikyo still need to get married, Inuyasha still loves Kikyo, and Kagome is beginning to be a friend…for the most part anyways.
