Chapter V: I'M READY…
Inuyasha was nervous. He didn't know why but he was. It might have something to do with the fact that he was meeting with Alex after school to hang out or maybe he was just overreacting. Either way, he was still nervous. He watched as each second ticked by faster than the last. When the bell rang, he thought his heart was going to stop functioning altogether. He picked up his backpack and left the class. He went to his locker to drop off the books he won't need for the weekend. On his way out he saw Kikyou. He called out her name but she didn't hear him. He ran after her and caught her just before she got in Kagura's car.
"Hey, Kikyou."
"Hey, baby. What's up?"
"Where are you going?"
"To Kag's house. Why?"
"Why are you always there? I barely see you anymore."
"We're just going to hang out. You know…girl stuff. I promise we'll do something later. In the meantime, just find something to entertain yourself with."
She kissed him and got in the car before his brain could formulate an answer. Something was going on. He didn't know what but he had a gut feeling that Kikyou was hiding something from him. He was going to find out what even if it killed him.
"Hey Inuyasha?"
It was Alex. He'd recognized that sweet voice anywhere.
"Hey Alex. What's up?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"Great. Are you ready to go?"
"Sure. I didn't bring my car today so you're going to have to drop me home later."
"Sure. That won't be a problem."
"So where are we going?" She asked once they were in his car driving away.
"I don't know. I thought that you might have an idea."
"Sorry, I have nothing. What do you like to do in your spare time?"
"Go to the arcade."
"Then let's go to the arcade."
You want to go to the arcade?"
"Sure. Why not?"
"I didn't think you'd like video games."
"I do. Now let's go so I can kick your ass."
"You beat me? That'd be the day. I'm the king of video games."
"Well king meet your queen."
They parked in front of the arcade.
"Let's make this interesting, shall we?" she said.
"What do you have in mind?"
"Looser buy lunch."
"Deal."
They shook on it and went inside.
"Want to do something tonight?" Kagome asked.
"Sure. What do you want to do?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Clubbing."
"Clubbing?"
"Yeah. This new club, Envy, just opened downtown and I was hoping we could check it out."
"That should be fun. Who else is going?"
"All of our friends are going. The club is under twenty-one."
He nodded his head.
"So you wanna go?"
"I don't see why not."
"Cool. I have to go now."
"Where're you going?"
"I'm babysitting Rin and Shippo tonight until eight."
"I thought we were going to a club."
"We are. The club doesn't open till nine."
"Okay, then. I'll see you later."
Kagome got into her car. She called home to let her mom know that she was babysitting tonight. She loved babysitting Rin and Shippo. They were so cute and funny. She's been their babysitter since the last three years. When she got there. Their parents just greeted her and left since they were late for something. They didn't bother giving her instructions since she knew what to do.
Shippo and Rin came to welcomed her at the door.
"Hey, you guys." She said.
"Hi, Kagome." They said simultaneously.
Shippo was a red head with green eyes. He just turned eight last month. His sister, Rin was six. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Shippo look liked his mom and Rin look liked her father.
"So what do you guys want to do today?"
"I can't believe you won." Inuyasha said.
She laughed.
"If it makes you feel any better, you put up a great fight. Besides I only won by one point."
She smiled.
"I'd love to have a rematch but right now I'm starving."
"Me too."
"Where would you like to go?"
"I don't know. You choose."
"In that case, I know the perfect place. Come on."
He dragged her to his car. He started the car just a song came on the radio.
"Oh I love that song." She said.
"You like Disturbed?"
"Yeah, I do. Don't you?"
"They're pretty good."
He handed her CD case.
"I have their latest CD."
"Cool."
She got the CD and inserted it in the CD player. She handed the case back to him. The song 'Down with the Sickness' came booming through the speakers.
They arrived at the restaurant in no time. He parked his car in the parking lot. They both got out. Alex stood in front of the restaurant and looked at the sign.
"I don't think we're dressed right for this place." She said.
"Don't worry. We'll get in."
"Don't we like need a reservation or something?"
"No."
"Why not."
"Because it's mine."
"You own this place?"
"Yeah. Now come on, I'll show you inside."
He took her hand in his. She unconsciously linked her fingers with his. The maitre d' met them at the door. Like he said they didn't need a reservation. When they get inside, they were met with curious glances by the customers. Obviously this was not a place where teenagers hang out. They had to be filthy rich to afford it.
"So how you going to tell how is possible that you own this place?" She asked.
"My dad gave it to me when I turned fifteen. Sesshoumaru has one two."
"Your brother has a restaurant too?"
"Actually he has an hotel. When we turned fifteen, dad asked what we wanted for out birthday. Sesshoumaru chose a hotel and I decided I wanted this restaurant.'
"Why?"
"Because the chef made the best ramen in the world."
She laughed.
"So you're rich."
"Well, I guess you could say that. But money doesn't mean anything to me. I mean it's nice to have but it's not everything."
She smiled.
"What other interesting things do you own?"
"Lots of them. What don't you come to my house? I'll show you."
"Okay."
They sat in a corner where they wouldn't bother anyone.
"So what would like to eat? Anything you want, you can get it here."
"Well, someone did say they make the best ramen here. Maybe I could give that a try. I do love ramen."
"You're going to love it."
Sango turned on her computer. She was bored. Kagome was babysitting so she had no one to talk to right now. She waited for her computer to upload and decided to get herself a hot cup of chocolate. It was the middle of March and it was still cold. She couldn't wait for spring to arrive. Even though it would be raining, at least there won't be any snow. She returned to her room with her hot drink. She set down on her desk. She signed on AOL. Inuyasha wasn't on. Kagome, Sesshoumaru and Miroku was away.
"Let's see what away messages they left."
Kagome's away message was simple enough. It just said, "Babysitting. Leave a message."
Sesshoumaru's message said: "There are four possible reasons why i'm away right now: 1). Making Inuyasha's life as miserable as possible. 2) I'm in the shower. 3) I'm with Kagome. 4) I just don't want to talk to you."
The laughing devil icon was typed after it. Sango laughed.
Miroku's message read: "Single male seeking, preferably, single female to bear his children."
She laughed. For as long as she knew Miroku, he was always joking about that. They met when they were in elementary school and that was the first thing he said to her. She had slapped him of course. That had never stopped him from asking her or any other female she knew. Come to think of it, he never ask Kikyou. Maybe he was afraid that Inuyasha might rearrange his face like Sesshoumaru did when he grabbed Kagome's ass last year.
She had felt sorry for him but mostly she was angry at him. She had liked him for as long as she knew. Every time, she thought that he might felt something for her, he turned around and do something unforgivable. She wished he would stop his charade. He kept giving her mixed signals and she just didn't know how to interpret them anymore. Frankly she was getting tired of this cat and mouse game he insist on playing.
She broke away from her thought when the computer beeped. She had a message.
HoushiSama: Hey
Taiyaji: Hey Miroku. What's up?
HoushiSama: Dying of boredom.
Taiyaji: Wanna hang out?
HoushiSama: Sure. What do you want to do?
Taiyaji: I don't know. It doesn't matter.
HoushiSama: Then come over. We can video games.
Taiyaji: on my way.
She put up an away and left the house. Maybe this was the opportunity she was waiting for. Maybe if she spent more time with him, she'd understand what he felt toward her.
The club was packed when they got there. Kagome had gone home after her babysitting job was over. She had a shower and changed. She wore a lacy silk spaghetti strap shirt and a pair oflow-rise jeans. She had left her coat in Sesshoumaru's car. She had tied her hair up and away from her face. Some of the black strands still caressed her neck and her cheeks. She brushed them away with her free hand. Her other hand clasped tightly with in her boyfriend's. He was leading in that back where their table was. She followed him silently. Not she could talk anyway. The music was so loud, she could barely here herself think.
After another ten minutes, thy finally find their friends. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango were sitting. Each one of them nursing a bottle of coke. They were obviously in the middle of an argument. They stopped when they spotted the newcomers.
"What are you guys arguing about?" She asked.
They took a sit. They friends already brought them some drinks.
"Miroku was telling me that he saw Kikyou in here."
"But that's impossible. She's sick. I left her at home before I came here." Kagome said.
"See, didn't I tell you."
"But I saw her. I know what I saw and it was Kikyou. She was with someone else. I just didn't see who it was."
"Or maybe you're just hallucinating." Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha grinned. Miroku sulked and Sango laughed.
"Whatever you've been taking, you gotta give me some." Inuyasha teased.
"Oh shut up." he pouted.
"Hey I want some too." Sango said.
Miroku groaned. The whole table erupted in laughter.
"I'm going to get something to eat." Miroku said.
"I'll go with you." Inuyasha said.
"Me too." Sango added.
Their friends left.
"Wanna dance." Sesshoumaru asked.
"Sure."
They left the table. The song that was playing was a slow song. The got on the dance floor and started dancing. Kagome relaxed her body and let the music carried her. She soon found herself in a place she had been visiting for quite some time now. Since her conversation with Sango at the mall, she had been thinking about, well, sex. She was thinking of having sex with her boyfriend. The more she thought, the more sense it made. They had been dating for three years. And if sex was he wanted from he would have left by now. So he must really love to stay with her for three years. They had slept on the same bed countless time but that had never gone further than kissing and a few stolen touches. He never forced himself upon even though she knew he was horny.
God that thought still made her blush. She had read in one her romance novels that it hurt when a guy was aroused and didn't get the relief he needed. No wondered he had to masturbate.
But was she ready to do something about it? Was she ready to make love with him? She knew without a doubt that she was. But she was scared. Would it hurt? She had girls taking in girls' locker room and they said it hurt. Kikyou said that it hurt the first time. She said it was like being turn apart from the inside. But she knew Sesshoumaru would gentle. Won't he? If she gave herself to him, would he hurt her? Would he still love the way he did now? Debating with herself wasn't going to give her the answers she needed. There was only way to find out and she was ready for it. She was ready to be intimate with her boyfriend. Whatever tomorrow bring, she'd deal with it.
She raised her head and looked at Sess. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Sess…"
"Ummm."
"I'm ready."
"For what?"
She blushed.
"You know."
His brows furrowed in confused and then his eyes widened in realization.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm a little afraid but I'm sure."
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
His arms tighten around her.
"Wanna leave now."
She nodded.
