What in the hell was that about? Kikyou inwardly fumed. She let Kagome know she'd grab her bikini and meet her back in her room. She couldn't get the Kagome's look of genuine shock out of her mind. The girl appeared to be as heartbroken as she did. Kikyou frustratingly tried to make a decision between her many bikinis. Hastily she grabbed two and decided to let Kagome ultimately decide. The walk to Kagome's room seemed to burn her stomach with every step. Just who was this girl to him? She wondered.
"Hey Kagome? You in here?" Kikyou asked from the doorframe. She watched her appear from the bathroom in a white bikini, the tie straps a deep red. Kikyou's eyes bulged in admiration as she recognized the logo adorned on the hip of Kagome's bikini bottom. She quickly ran to her side to get a better look.
"Is that from Tory Burch's exclusive limited edition collection? It was only released in America! Can I touch it? How did you get your hands on one?" Kikyou questioned. She circled her silently noting how well the bikini fit on her curvaceous form.
"Is it really that special?" Kagome said, glancing down at the bikini. "It was a gift from someone close to my heart. She's a model...I guess she must have known the right person to get her hands on it if its that rare. I honestly wouldn't have worn it had it not been for Inuyasha stuffing it in my bag. I forgot she brought it to Inuyasha's house." Kagome explained. "Thanks for letting me know how special it truly is." She added with a smile.
Kikyou gave a weak smile in reply and sat on the small couch before the bathroom entrance. "Does he always do things like that for you? ... Like packing?" Kikyou acknowledged in a small voice. Kagome gave her a confused look and sat next to her.
"If you're worried about me, don't be. Please, I'm no threat to you." Kagome defended.
"How can I not be?" Kikyou said honestly. She shifted in her seat and looked Kagome up and down. "How do I know he didn't pack that to see you in it?"
"Woah, woah. You're getting worked up because he packed my things? Understand that him stuffing my suitcase with whatever will fit is far from picking out outfits. I'm sure I'm going to have to go shopping due to none of it matching with anything. He was just trying to rush with the short notice he gave us." Kagome explained. She tried her best to change the subject.
"Here, try on your blue one. You're eyes complement it very well." She suggested. Kikyou took the bikini and went to change in the bathroom. Kagome sighed hoping the kind words put her at ease. Once out, she asked Kagome to help her tie the back.
"Does he always call you princess? Or was that new?" Kikyou asked. It had bothered her since they split up in the hallway. Kagome wondered when this conversation would come up. She almost thought Kikyou had brushed it off completely.
"If it's a name you're also familiar with, its yours. I was never fond of it anyhow... Here let me do your hair up!" Kagome offered. She really didn't want to go into this. It wasn't fair Inuyasha wasn't here to dig himself out of his own grave. I'm not the bad guy here, Kagome thought. Kikyou nodded at her offer and sat down to let her play in her hair.
"He's never called me princess before." Kikyou admitted. She looked back to see Kagome's relieved face and faced back forward. Kagome began to swirl Kikyou's hair around into a messy bun.
"I just thought.. maybe we were finally on the level of giving each other cute names. How embarrassing." She added. She placed her hands on her temples to shield her face.
"Oh please." Kagome rolled her eyes. "If you want the name its yours. He's called me it for as long as I can remember to piss me off. Since we were kids. No more stressing okay? He wants you girl! We wouldn't be here for you if he didn't." Kagome gave her an encouraging smile and grabbed her hand.
As they made their way out back Kikyou noticed Kagome's braided hair. "Are you going to keep your hair like that?" Kikyou giggled. Kagome touched the top of her head and seemed to forget the two french braids she placed in her hair before putting on her bikini.
"Do they look that bad?" Kagome laughed back, grabbing one.
"You look like a little kid." Sesshomaru snickered from inside of the jetted tub. Kagome rolled her eyes and began to take them out on a nearby bench. Kikyou decided to join Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
"Have you guys been in here long?" Kikyou asked. She placed herself close to Inuyasha who happily grabbed her waist to pull her closer.
"No." Inuyasha whispered over the hum of the jets. "But I'm already ready to leave. Shall we?"
"Leave?" Kagome huffed. "We just got here!"
The three turned their heads to face a rather gorgeous Kagome. Her hair was wavy due to the braids and she skillfully captured it into a high ponytail while entering the hot tub. The loose waves made her look radiant and Sesshomaru sent out a warning growl to Inuyasha to keep his attention on his guest.
"Come here..." a dazed Sesshomaru said softly.
She obediently sat near him realizing sitting next to Inuyasha and Kikyou would be pretty awkward. He swiftly shifted her to straddle him so he could speak to her more intimately.
"Whaaaat..." Kagome whined. She tried to rub her knee that scraped the bench. "Do I still look like a little kid?"
"No," Sesshomaru smirked, "but you sound like one."
Inuyasha watched as his brother nibbled her ear, continuing whatever inappropriate conversation they were having. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat to speak to Kikyou.
"I thought this would be a good trip for us to get closer and all it did was get them closer." Inuyasha joked.
"If it upsets you, let's simply get closer." Kikyou suggested. She placed her hand on his inner thigh and rubbed. She hoped the foam and bubbles concealed her bold actions.
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "It doesn't bother me," He lied. "They're always like this." He looked back at Kagome and noticed the whispers had progressed to teasing. Kikyou watched as his mood shifted and adjusted her bikini top to plump her chest. She rose up and straddled Inuyasha's waist, blocking his view from the distracting couple.
"Lets play a game! I'll get us some drinks!" She offered.
"I personally should not be subject to play such an awful game." Sesshomaru whined as he overheard Kikyou suggesting it to Inuyasha.
"It's just T.D. Strip. You're not going to die. Aren't you the full demon?" Kikyou pointed out.
"What the hell is T.D. Strip?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru.
"Aww," Inuyasha teased. "I forgot you weren't apart of the cool kids growing up."
"Definitely not by choice. Wonder why that was...asshole!" Kagome countered. Kikyou watched the two fume while Sesshomaru explained the game.
"It's truth or dare. But if you're faced with something you refuse to disclose or do, then you strip." Sesshomaru smirked.
"Strip what?! We're practically naked now!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Precisely princess. So do as your told and you'll have nothing to worry about. At least you have two things. We only have one." Inuyasha argued. "Kikyou you first."
Kikyou looked amongst the three to decide who to choose first. "Sesshomaru, truth or dare."
"Truth." He sighed.
"Do you plan on marrying Kagome?" She asked. Kagome and Inuyasha gaped at the questioning girl in disbelief.
"If Rin allows it." He said simply. He smiled to Kagome and they both shared a laugh knowing what answer she'd give.
"Who's Rin?" Kikyou wondered.
"It's no longer your turn." Sesshomaru countered. "Inuyasha, truth or dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to tell Kagome what happened to her old room." He challenged.
Inuysha contemplated just taking off his swim trunks. His brother was such a dick sometimes. There was a time and a place for these discussions and in front of Kikyou, on their first legit night, was not the moment to do this. He watched as Kagome moved to sit in the corner seat to his right. She peered into his golden gaze and waited patiently with an amused grin.
"Wait... She has her own room in your house?" Kikyou spit out.
"Had." Sesshomaru and Kagome said simultaneously. Inuyasha wanted to throw up in his mouth. They obviously spent too much time together.
"So..." Kagome pushed. She'd wondered what happened to her elegantly designed and utterly original haven of a room. She worked so hard on the little details throughout the years.
"I ... lost control." Inuyasha tried to explain simply.
"No, that's Sesshomaru's job. You never lose control. What seriously happened? Come on, he dared you." Kagome replied in disbelief.
"I'm being serious. All I rememeber is something fucking snapped and my demon blood took over for three fucking days. It was terrifying..."
Kagome could do nothing but gape at his face as he spoke. He decided to carry on. "What made it even more bizarre is I turned on the new moon. Completely out of control. It was mayhem."
"You're kidding ... What the hell triggered that? Isn't that impossible!?" Kagome finally asked.
"The dare was what happened not why. Wait your turn princess. Truth or dare?" He asked her.
"Dare." She challenged. Her eyes narrowed awaiting his request.
"I dare you to... let me have my cake and eat it too." He said with a smile. Kagome tried to strangle him but he held her back and constantly repeated to accept the dare or simply strip. She let out a frustrated scream, released her bikini top and sank as low as she could in the jacuzzi.
"Kikyou truth or dare?" She bit out. If Inuyasha wanted to play then she was more than willing to play.
"Dare." Kikyou said with a smile.
Kagome smiled and gestered her to come closer. Kikyou complied and Kagome whispered in her ear in hopes to not embarrass her. "I dare you to kiss me."
Kikyou's eyes bulged as she hadn't even shared a kiss with Inuyasha yet. Kikyou's gaze shifted to the two round orbs Kagome did her best at trying to hide under the foam. Before Kagome could offer her an alternate dare, Kikyou grabbed the side of her face and descended to her lips to meet her in a hungry and heated kiss.
A shocked Inuyasha cleared his throat in hopes to rectify the situation. Sesshomaru simply sat back and watched the show. Kikyou pulled back at the sound but kept her eyes focused on the girl who took her breath away.
"I think you're beautiful..." Kagome whispered and leaned up to capture her lips once more.
"Sesshomaru get her in check before I rip her to shreds." Inuyasha growled out.
Seshomaru shifted on a jet to get more comfortable. "Are you kidding? Haven't you learned already? Kagome loves cake. She's just like you."
