"Yes, right there...mmm don't stop. Don't stop." She breathed out, panting away from his ministrations on her lower half.

Kagome expected a nice relaxing sleep once her and Inuyasha had made up but halfway through the night, she awoke to a vibrating sensation on her spot. She shot up to find shirtless Inuyasha's bed ridden head going down on her. She reached down to push his head away but instead of doing what it was intended to do, her hand pushed his head down harder on her, tilting her head back in bliss. Fast forward a few hip thrusts and tongue to clit licks later and her she was.

His head rested in between her thighs as his hands squeezed them closer to his head. He rubbed her legs back and forth as his tongue suckled her down. This time around, he was taking his time with her to enjoy and savor the taste in his mouth. While she cried and whimpered, he was humming a happy toon that only her juices could make him sing.

He pulled away, creating a pop sound as his lips detached from her lips. Feeling the buzzing sensation in between her legs slowly go away, she wiggled her legs back and forth in discontent while pouting her lips out.

"Inuyasha! Noo. Put it back..pleaeese." She cried out, trying her best to reach for the back of his head to put it back on her spot but he held onto her wrist and kissed her knuckles.

He then looked up at her with lust in his golden sedated eyes. "Don't worry baby...I'll fuck you up in just a little bit...let me..go grab something. You'll like it love. Promise." He spoke softly to her, though his voice was still deep and raspy from their small nap.

Kagome closed her eyes, trying to keep the feeling alive in her body as she heard Inuyasha rustle around the room. Moments later, she felt the weight of the bed shift as he placed himself in between her thighs once again. She kept her eyes closed, awaiting his tongue to fill her deepest desires but instead, she was given something even better.

It was sudden, it made her gasp her for air, and it launched the arch of her back upwards. One finger sliding in and out of her, creating more wetness as it came out each time. Kagome found his finger pleasurable but couldn't stop the other half of her from feeling like the finger wasn't enough. She craved something else but just like the day he met her, he read her body language like a book, and inserted the second finger in. Before she had time to react to the second finger making friction inside of her, he popped the third one in, following the wave of her hips as she rode his fingers like a bull.

Inuyasha had front row seats to the main attraction as his eyes bounced up and down, following her every movement. Luckily he had on sweatpants so his dick wasn't struggling to free itself but he was getting harder by the second. He couldn't help himself. Here she was, crying out to him, bare pussy with his fingers in it, and thighs as thick as a basketball jiggling around him.

'Oh goodness Kagome…if you ever let me inside of you one day, I don't know if I'll be able to control myself...'

Her insides molded around his fingers as he sped up the pace. He didn't want to hurt her so he took it easy on the force but when he looked up, and saw her covering her eyes with one arm while the other gripped onto the sheets for dear life, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly at her struggling to keep up with his fingers.

"Baby, how do you expect to handle me one day if you can't even take my three tiny fingers love?"

She finally opened her eyes to stare down at him. "Mmm, s-someones feeling c-cocky-Aah goodness!"

He shot a sly smile her way. "Always baby. Its what I'm known for. When you're ready for me , you know I'm just a call away."

"Can I have it now then?" She pleaded through her moans.

His fingers slowed down at her question. He wasn't expecting those words to come out of her mouth. "Can you repeat that love?" He asked, wanting to make sure he heard her right.

"Stop stopping! You know I don't like that…" She sparked at him. His lesser pleasing actions on her body were killing her high and she wasn't having that.

Her words only made him slow down even more. "Now you know daddy doesn't like it when you disobey him. Now answer me, did you just say you wanted my dick inside you Kagome?" He asked one more time, sterning his tone of voice to assert dominance.

A small whimper escaped her lips as she released the arch in her backand fell flat on the bed. "Inuyasha!-"

"Ah-ah-aaah. My name isn't Inuyasha right now. Say my name right or I'm stopping-"

"No!" She interjected. "Please keep going…"

"You know what to do my dear. Say it or I'm going to sleep." He told her.

She put her hands over her eyes and cheeks, becoming overwhelmed from her hormonal inbalance Inuyasha created for her. She didn't want to give into something she detested for so long but at the same time, her body was yearning for something she only wanted from the half demon in front of her. After a few moments of inner debate, she slowly lowered her hands from her eyes to see Inuyasha's half lidded ones staring down at her while his hands were on both sides of her head. She looked up at him with shaky eyes and spoke quietly to him.

"Please daddy?"

He gave her the most seductive smile he could put on at the moment. Her words lit a second switch in him granting him to go fully into character. As soon as she submitted, his mind wandered to his deepest fantasies.

"Oh princess, you can have whatever you want..." He responded.

He grabbed the inside of her knee and lifted it back. Keeping his hand there, he leaned down to hover above her as he whispered in her ear. What Inuyasha was about to do, he didn't want her to see it coming.

While using his other hand to unsheathe himself, he kept her senses busy. "You are the cutest fucking girl I've ever met. You know that right?" He whispered gently in her ear, kissing and sucking on her lobe and her neck in between each word.

She opened her mouth to speak to him but nothing came out. Instead, her eyes widened up, and she froze in reaction to the large shaft entering slowly in between her legs. Naturally she spread her legs apart even further but she herself couldn't explain what she was feeling. The slight stretching wasn't the most comfortable feeling she ever had but after a few seconds, she could feel her body shift in feeling. Her lower half began to pulse in pleasure and her hips moved around to get Inuyasha to move because he wasn't budging. She already felt so impure by what she was doing but the front of her mind didn't care.

She heard him chuckle in her ear before he spoke something even more shocking to her. "It wasn't that bad right? Too bad its just the tip. I don't have my spare condom on me and I don't wanna take your virginity right now. So I have to stop, kay?"

She was surprised to know that the filling inside of her was only the tip. She had seen his size before, so she knew what he was working with but she never imagined for only the tip to already feel like a full size to her. She also didn't want him to stop.

'All these years, I've been scared to lose this to right person but damn this feels so good. I don't want him to stop...but maybe he's right. Maybe we should wait.' She thought to herself as she turned her head away from him, disappointed they couldn't go any further.

Seeing the look on her face made his grinch heart grow three times in size. He wished he could give her what she wanted but he didn't want to regret it later. He knew what it was like to get lost in lust and knew that's exactly what Kagome was. Inuyasha also knew that virginity was more likely to be more special to a woman as opposed to a man. Women would tend to save it while men look to get rid of it as fast as they can. He wanted Kagome to be all in her right mind before he even thought about taking that step.

'And I'm not even her boyfriend yet either so there's that too.…did I just say yet? Fuck, I'm really thinking that way now huh?' He thought.

Although neither of them wanted it to happen, Inuyasha pulled out. She expected him to put his fingers back in but she felt something round and small go inside of her.

"I hope this will make you forgive me for teasing you…" He whispered to her pussy as he licked his lips.

Inuyasha hit the button on the switch in his hand and the arch in her back was shooting to the ceiling again. The vibrator was audibly buzzing but Kagome's sweet noises cried over them.

"Mm, c-can it go faster?" She asked.

Inuyasha prepared his finger over the button to increase the speed. "Ask a little differently and I'll tell you love." He answered with a naughty smile.

This time, there was no hesitation in her speech. "Please make it go faster daddy." She pleaded.

"Ah yeah. That's a good girl."

Her voice enticed him enough already but hearing that word come from her charmed him a lot more than it did with the dozen of women's he spent his time with in bed. The sound of the word rolling off of her tongue made him never want to be called Inuyasha by her ever again but he knew he couldn't request that just yet.

'There I go again, thinking with the "yet" word. Dammit.' He thought to himself.

Granting her wish, he pushed the button until the speed couldn't go any higher but as the vibrator shook her to the core, she began to leak on the bed in high volumes. The more wetness to come out, the louder she screamed. Being the sexual being he was, he gripped her thighs and pushed them up and apart. Lowering his head, he stuck his tongue out and started to lap his tongue between her clit, and the juices slipping out of her.

"Oh fuck me yes..oh yes daddy, yes daddy-mmmm fuucckk."

Sucking on her spot, he twirled the bud around inside his mouth. His hands had to grip her legs harder because he felt her trying to run from his mouth but the man in him wasn't going to let that happen. She was going to take every bit of pleasure he had to offer even if he had to hold her down to do it. Unless she told him no, he had no plans of backing off her.

Kagome's nails were practically scraping the dry paint off the wall as hard as she was gripping everything in sight trying to keep her lower half from flipping out. The more Inuyasha did to her, the more sensitive her nerves became. Her eyes couldn't stay in one place, her hair was tossed all around and about her face, somewhere in the mix, Inuyasha had managed to get her big T-shirt off, and her body was sweating up a storm in the A/C filled room.

Suddenly, Inuyasha stuck his three fingers in to assist the vibrator and that's where Kagome lost it. Shrieking at the top of her lungs, her hips thrusted into Inuyasha's large hands, twitching as she her body rode the orgasm out.

The shriek turned into a silent scream as she came down from her high. She fell hard on the bed, panting, trying to catch her breath. She put her hand over her chest, trying to calm the rapid heart beat. Her eyes were half-lidded, staring blankly at the ceiling. Seeing this as the right time to strike, Inuyasha crawled up her body and positioned his face right above hers.

His gaze fell into her eyes for half a second before he gently placed his lips on her in a sweet quick kiss. It was only meant to something quick so that he could put her to sleep and go handle his problem in the bathroom but Kagome had other plans. The quick kiss wasn't enough for her so she put her hands on his cheek and brought his mouth back down to hers. The kiss was a little harder and sensual this time around. Although she had just learned this about him, she loved that he was a lip sucker. If she didn't let his tongue through, he'd suck and lightly teeth on her bottom lip till she gave him what he wanted.

Once the two finally pulled apart for air, Inuyasha gave her an Eskimo kiss across the nose. This made her lightly giggly from the small tickels his nose made her feel. Just the same, her laugh was contagious and he found himself giggling right along side her.

Figuring it was time for the two of them to get some real sleep, he got off of her to fetch a towel from the bathroom. Although it only took him a second to grab the towel, Kagome was already halfway into dream world when he came back. He lifted her up so that he could spread the towel out beneath her to cover the wet spot she had made. She wasn't fully asleep so Inuyasha got in the bed with her to lay with her till she was unconscious.

'I'll take care of you later little big guy. Just let her fall asleep first.' He mentally told himself as he rested his eyes for the moment.

---

She awoke that morning to the sun being high in the sky and shining through her clear white curtains and onto her legs. Her eyes slowly opened, breaking through the eye crust that had developed through the night. As she adjusted to the small amount of light being let into the room, her back side felt more empty than it did last night. It was then she realized that Inuyasha wasn't behind her anymore. She turned her head over and glanced across the room only to see that the bathroom door was open but there were no signs of Inuyasha in it. She put her hands on the bed and pushed herself up. The blanket fell down to her waist and her breasts were exposed to the cool air. Of course, the sudden breeze made her flinch slightly so she pulled the blanket back up and held it to her chest. Taking one more survey of the room, her hazel eyes then caught glimpse of the note sitting on her nightstand. She picked up the note, and saw Inuyasha's incredible printed penmanship on the paper.

"Where the fuck did he learn to write like this?" She spoke aloud to herself. She shook off the thought and made a mental reminder to ask him about it later. She then read the note.

Good morning my dear,

I'm sorry I interrupted your sleep last night :( But I couldn't help it. You looked so fucking good with your ass up against me like that. To make it up to you, I have a little something for us to do today. When you wake up, I'll probably still be at the gym but I'm gonna come get you at noon so dress up really pretty but not fancy. I don't want to get your cute clothes dirty ;) Call me when you wake up so that I can hear that sweet voice of yours.

-Inuyasha

Her eyes squinted up from the smiling so hard. She was happy that he didn't up and leave her. Content with knowing exactly where he was, she saw through to follow up with what he told her to do when she woke up. She laid back down on her stomach and grabbed her phone from her usual spot on the nightstand. Inuyasha's number was still on speed dial so she was able to call him quickly. After the first dial tone, he picked up.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." His cool toned voice answered from the other end.

She scrunched up her shoulders as the feeling of butterflies flew through her stomach to her chest. She was still cheekily smiling from ear to ear, even putting the tip of her curled finger on her lip. "Good Morning Yasha." She spoke back.

"How'd you sleep?"

"Mmm, pretty sound actually. I'm surprised to see that it's even...oh shit! It's already eleven? Damn, I slept for a long time."

"Ahaha...You're funny, you know that? But it's fine, I had to make a quick detour after the gym but I'm on my way home to freshen myself up a bit. I'm sweaty, and I'm still in my clothes from yesterday. Not to mention I had no intent on spending the night so I didn't have a toothbrush or deodorant or fucking anything. I was this fucking close to using your stawberry dove deodorant Kagome right along with all of your fruit scented body washes. I was almost ready to be a full blown sexy ass female this morning."

She laughed heartily at his over exaggerated story. "Yeah right! You're already sexy, I'll give you that but as far as looking like a female...ehhh. I don't know about that one. We would need to curl your hair, get you some heels, and a nice pretty dress and then maybe you might have a one-percent chance of passing."

"You're just fucking jealous because I would be a total dick magnet. I would attract all the guys with my stawberry banana breeze body wash and my ocean ice cream shampoo. I would be the baddest bitch out here." He said jokingly.

That comment made her laugh twice as hard. "Well if that's the case, would I have to go lesbian for you then?"

"Duh! I'm the baddest bitch. Everyone's supposed to like me and my tits and over injected lips. That's what the magazines say right? Okay then."

"Why are you so playful all of a sudden? I mean you're more playful than usual."

"No real reason. I asked the heavens to send me something to make my day after the morning I just had and then you called so I'm happy that someone is actually out there looking out for me; you know, because no one has my back these days." He responded nonchalantly.

"Hmm, well I can have your back. Consider me your new best friend!"

"Oh yeah? And what makes you so sure you can be my new best friend? I'm a lot to handle miss."

She twirled around in the bed, distracting her fingers with her hair. "Well, I am nice, I'll listen to your problems, I can watch all the christmas cartoons with you because that's all you do it seems, and...oh I know. I can make good sandwhiches! Men love sandwhiches!"

She heard him a sound come from his mouth, almost as if he had spit out a drink right before the noise transitioned into a high pitched laugh. "Oh my fucking gosh Kagome! You did not just make a sexist woman joke!"

Her chest warmed with pride at the thought that she was able to get him to laugh so genuinely. "What? Isn't that what guys joke about all the time?"

"No Kagome! Heeheehee! Ahhh-seriously though. Do-don't make that joke around certain people. There are people that don't get the basis of that joke and they will take offense to that so yeah but...I think you got me. I think you really fucking got me. I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. It felt really good...You know what? You're putting me in a real picture taking mood now."

"Picture taking mood? Like a selfie?"

"No dummy, I told you I really like photography. I haven't picked up the camera in so long though so I feel like I'm a bit rusty."

"What do you even like about it? I can't really see you as the picture taking type."

"Ahaha, a lot of people say that. They see me as some macho guy who just hits the gym everyday and gets the bitches. As true as both of those statements are, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate the simple shit in life. I told you because of my mom's background and stuff, I find huge interest in over analyzing shit and trying to figure shit out. With pictures, I have all the time I want to have a situation in front of me and just make conclusions based off of it."

" *cough* Nerd *cough* " She coughed out.

"Well we're both asians so according to American standards, we are both supposed to be nerds and really good at math so go finish your homework Ming Lee."

Her jaw dropped, and she buried her face in the pillow for a moment before plopping her head back up. "You are so fucking wrong for that comment."

"Stereotypes are so outrageous which is why they make me laugh. Do you know how many white boys tried to insult me by calling my chung-li? Shit, then they'd get mad because I start laughing with them."

"They don't offend you?" She asked.

"No. People are just ignorant and don't care. If they don't care, why should I? People are gonna talk till the end of time. Now majority of them are homeless, getting high, living at home with their parents, or a partial combination of all three. As long as they stay the fuck out of my way, it doesn't really bother me. I can't speak for everyone though."

"Yeah, I guess that's true. I mean I guess they bother me some but I can see where you're coming from...So where are you now?"

"I'm actually walking into the building now. You should probably get dressed. I won't take that long. I'll probably be half an hour at the most."

"Okay. I'll talk to you soon Yasha."

"...Ah. See you soon my dear."

Kagome pressed the red button to end the call before throwing the blanket off of her naked body and tossing herself off the bed. Standing on her feet, she then felt an uncomfortable sensation inside her lower abdomen. She put her hand to her stomach in discomfort as the familiar feeling swept over her. She wasn't expecting it until tomorrow but she knew there was no stopping it. Grabbing a fresh underwear set, she went to get ready for her outing with Inuyasha.

~1 hour ago~

"Okay but bitch this is what we're not going to do! You're not gonna keep coming to my residence stealing my shit and expecting not to have a fucked up bun afterwards!" Naraku spoke passionately with a slightly raised monotone pitch.

"You're a grown ass man putting your hands on a woman! It doesn't matter what I expect, you should know better!" The woman shouted back at him, clapping her hands between each word.

He put his index finger in her face. "Number one, I didn't touch you. I smacked that ugly ass bun off the top of your head. Number two, I should know better? Didn't your mother ever teach you not to steal? I don't give a fuck about you and fuck buddy Kouga getting high off that white shit but stealing my makeup is an absolute no bitch. If Kouga is too broke to provide for you, that's fine-b-BITCH I will you give twenty dollars for your own mascara if it's really that serious!"

"No one needs your stripper money hoe, and no one is back there getting high so stop talking about shit you don't know about!"

"Stripper money? I don't have a lot of cash at the moment so that means you're calling me a bad stripper and I don't appreciate that because I know I would work that pole better than your square body ever could."

"Kouga, get your faggy ass roommate out of my face!" She hollered towards the bathroom door. As soon as he voice echoed through the hall, the shower water could be heard stopping. This fact didn't bother Naraku one bit.

He leaned on his leg with his hands on his hips. "Calling Kouga will not save you right now because I am not letting you or his coke head ass no where till I get my damn belongings."

She whipped her body around and stormed into Kouga's room to rummage around for her stuff.

"Don't forget your cum stained panties you probably haven't washed in weeks." He yelled just loud enough for her to hear.

This is when Miroku made his exit from his room behind Naraku. "Dude, what the hell is going on?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. Naraku turned to see the black haired male still in his pajamas.

"Miroku. I have told you time and time again about my stuff getting stolen and I caught this bitch Kouga brought over in the act. Now she mad that I'm calling her and Kouga crackheads but I don't care. No one is leaving today until I get my stuff back."

Miroku ran his hand through his hair. "Naraku...just hear me out. If she used it, why would you want it back? Wouldn't you just throw it away anyway?"

He rolled his eyes at Miroku. "You're not getting it. It doesn't matter if I'm throwing it away. It's my stuff that I paid my money for. I'm the only one that calls the shots about my stuff. If I throw it away, it doesn't matter because it's my stuff."

He shook his head in disappointment. "Whatever man. Your call. I still think it's stupid and that you're over reacting."

Naraku didn't know what it was or where it came from but from Miroku's semi-harmless comment, Naraku's petty instinct kicked in and he began to remember all of the secrets that were told to him. He was never one to spill a friend or an ex-friend's dirty laundry but this time, his brain reacted in a rare way. He turned on his heel to face him entirely. With his head cocked to the side, he gave Miroku a straight face.

"So...I'm overreacting? Because I feel that-"

*BANG BANG BANG*

Before he could finish his sentence, loud banging emitted from the door. Everyone's heads turned towards the source of the sound but only Naraku took the time to approach it.

"I'm gonna answer this door and by the time I'm done, YOU BETTER BE OUT OF THAT SHOWER KOUGA BECAUSE I HAVE SOME WORDS FOR YOU." He yelled back to the wolf demon who had yet to emerge from the bathroom.

Naraku peeped through the peephole and all angel bells began to ring loudly in his head as he felt his prayers have been answered.

"Right on time dammit!" He said with fake happiness in his voice.

'Oh yeah, Naraku the petty emo kid is back. Oh how I wish the bullies could see me now.'

He swung open the door to see Inuyasha standing in sneakers, sweatpants and a wife a beater; his hair was up in a messy bun as well. He didn't know what Kouga or Miroku did but he assumed that Inuyasha was there to beat someone's ass.

"Where's Kouga?" Inuyasha asked calmly.

"You're beefing with Kouga too? Great, come right on in!" Naraku sassily said, stepping aside for Inuyasha to enter.

As soon as his foot made contact with the carpet and his eyes saw his ex-friend standing only a few feet away from his, the tension in the room thickened with the weight of a thousand men. The two hadn't spoken since Inuyasha called him to denounce their friendship. He had his own thoughts concerning Miroku but to him, Kouga was the main focus at the moment.

"Whatever you two have going on got nothing to do with me. He knows what the fuck he said to me, and I just wanna make sure we have a clear understanding is all."

Miroku kept opening and closing his mouth as if he wanted to speak but couldn't get the words out. Naraku, who had been giving him the side eye, noticed this and decided to speak for him.

"Well it's great that you're calm Inuyasha! Know why? Because it would be terrible to be mad over something you have the right to be mad over. Right Miroku? You called it over reacting right? Hmm..." He trailed off. "I wonder how Inuyasha would over react if he knew you liked Shiori before he did and that's why you sabotaged their relationship. Right Miroku? Nah. That would be crazy! How dare he be mad that you ruined his relationship because of your own feelings! It's just nuts!"

Inuyasha didn't come for Miroku, he didn't want to see Miroku, he didn't want to hear Miroku, and he definitely didn't want to be anywhere near Miroku for this exact reason. Whenever Miroku was around Inuyasha, it always meant trouble, drama, or both; this was one of the many reasons he didn't want to continue his relationship with Miroku. It was a lot to deal with but what Naraku said out of his mouth took the cake. Inuyasha knew Miroku could have loose lips here and there but never in his entire half demon lifetime did he ever expect to hear such a backstabbing story come out of the mouth of another man about his best friend.

Inuyasha's heart dropped as his stomach did several backflips. He could feel his throat snap shut for only seconds while his hands dropped lifelessly to his sides. Naraku was yapping off still but his words came across as mumbling in Inuyasha's ears. He just couldn't believe what he was hearing. Everyone closest to Inuyasha knew that Shiori was his sensitive subject. She was the Beyonce to his Solange. This is why very few know about her and why he tried hard to keep it that way. Miroku on the other hand made it something to keep telling people.

"Yeah, it's real fucked up that the entire time Inuyasha's feeling bad about cheating on her, the bitch slept with you towards the end anyway! That's so crazy right? But what do I know? I'm just your average overreacting emo kid so if you'll excuse me, I have a bone to pick with the wolf."

Naraku walked past both Miroku and Inuyasha, making his way to the bathroom door. While he banged on the bathroom door trying to get Kouga to come out of the bathroom, Miroku stood there staring off to the side of the wall. He puffed air inside his cheeks, focusing his eyes everywhere but on Inuyasha.

He shook his head in disbelief. "So...you're not even gonna say anything huh? Did it or did it not happen Miroku?" He asked, getting straight to the point.

Miroku puffed out a strained sigh. "Look man, I-its not even like that. Naraku's just-"

Inuyasha cut him off before he could finish his sentence. "Don't fucking start that that bullshit Miroku. You and I both know very well that Naraku doesn't speak reckless shit out of his mouth. He's way too blunt for that so don't sit here and try to play the 'Naraku took it out of context' BS because I'm not here for it." He said. His voice was still calm surprisingly.

He slowly swallowed the rising saliva in his mouth; his feet then gravitated towards the couches in their living room. He took a seat and planted his face in his hands. Inuyasha's facial expression remained as hard as stone.

"Look, I honestly don't even give a fuck about you right now. I'm here to see Kouga and Kouga only. No matter what the hell you tell me, doesn't change the fact that I'm not here for you. Even if I want to beat your ass after whatever you tell me, I only have time for one ass whooping before I have to leave. I have things to do today and Kouga is the only ass whooping on schedule so whatever you have to say, say it because I'm getting fucking impatient. Now what the fuck happened Miroku?!" His tone of voice gradually raised the more he spoke as his composure finally began to let loose.

Miroku slid his hands down only to reveal his eyes as he still stared down heavily at the floor. "I...Shit man. I don't even know what to say. It's not as easy of a story as you think it is..."

"I really don't...give a fuck, just spit it out! Damn y'all get on my nerves with all this stalling!" He raged, throwing his clenched fist up in the air.

"Listen Inuyasha. I'm just gonna tell you everything from the beginning because really it's not what Naraku is making it look like-"

"Okay! I get it! Just fucking tell me already and stop dancing around the subject because I'm five seconds away from storming in that bathroom, fucking that bitch up, and leaving and forget your ass ever existed now either you're gonna talk or not!"

He removed his hands from his face all together to look up at Inuyasha. "Yes Inuyasha. I fucked her. It was one time like it was supposed to be. She wasn't even supposed to be with you anyway..."

"Wow...just fucking wow Miroku. My best friend of all these years was lowkey fucking me over behind my back...I don't even have anything else to say to you right now...That's fucked up Miroku...even for someone that's as fucked up as you."

His words hit Miroku like a freight train while his chest felt as if someone reached inside and pulled several veins out. His relationship with Inuyasha has had a few arguments but they've never gone more than three days without talking. They would never speak ill of each other nor would they let anyone disrespect the other. The memories of the past few weeks all flooded into his head at the moment as he finally caught up to reality. His best friend was done with him and he was stuck with someone who couldn't go five seconds without talking about pussy or Inuyasha. His best friend who had been there through his own hard times was ready to throw in the towel and it was all his fault.

"Inuyasha...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't want you two to be together for my own personal reasons but...damn. I shouldn't have done that...I didn't know she'd catch feelings for you or you'd leave her or she'd go missing; I didn't know any of that man! I just wanted you to leave her alone...so I told you cheated on her and used that to make her sleep with me."

His mouth was wide open and his eyes were static. Under his own nose, Miroku weaved his way in and fulfilled his own selfish needs. Inuyasha was normally an extremely talkative person but no words, sentences, or phrases even made an attempt at being formed to come out of his mouth.

"I liked her Inuyasha. More than I told you and that's my fault but I'm really sorry about it and I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I didn't know how you take it and-"

"What do you mean how I would take it? How the fuck else am I supposed to take my bestfriend sleeping around with my girlfriend?! Am I supposed to laugh it off and be like 'hahaha, good one bro' because no, that's not how it works! If you liked her, why didn't you just tell me?!" He shouted, not noticing the the small argument that began to take place on the other side of the wall.

He took a few steps closer to Miroku to get close enough to the point where he was standing over top of him. "Miroku, I fucking told you I didn't like her like that! I told you out of my own mouth that I was not in love with that girl and she was just something to love and attach on for the time being. She was cute, she was sweet, she was interesting, and she was innocent enough to fuck. That is all she was to me! I had love for her but I was not in love with her and you know that! I did not want to be with her for the rest of my life nor was I ready to even think about being with someone forever! She was basically nothing to me! I COULD HAVE GAVE HER TO YOU! You could have had her! I didn't want her! I was a FUCKBOY! I didn't love these hoes! Why didn't you just fucking tell me!? I was your brother and you were mine and you fucking did that to me! I fucking trusted you!"

Inuyasha became so loud and emotionally invested in his tangent, that he didn't even feel the frustrated tears coming out of his eyes or notice the small crack in his voice the louder he got. Miroku on the other hand noticed it and he felt ever word that was being shouted at him. He didn't fight it because he felt like he deserved it.

"I have nothing else to say. You are the bane of my fucking existence! I hope the next bitch you fuck gives you an STD so bad that your dick falls off! Don't ever fucking talk to me ever again! I'm fucking serious! I'm fucking done with you!"

"Sheesh, that's a lot of F bombs there dog boy." Kouga spoke up from around the corner against the wall in a pair of basketball shorts with his towel around his neck.

As soon as his voice registered in Inuyasha's ears, Inuyasha turned around and charged In Kouga's direction. "You had all that mouth in the text messages Kouga, so you know what that means right? You know what the means right?"

He got in Kouga's face and the two stared each other down. Their faces were so close, that thy were breathing in each other's exhaled air.

"No, I don't bitch face, what does it mean?" Kouga spoke with a hardened tone, clearly not backing down from Inuyasha.

"Well it means you got one hit to knock me out before I fuck you up. That's what it means!"

"How are you gonna come up here threatening me but then asking me to hit you? Do you hear how you sound right now?"

Kouga was shouting to the ceiling leaving his neck wide open. It didn't register in his mind that Inuyasha was giving him a courtesy hit. He was not asking Kouga to hit him first. He'd learn in the next few seconds that Inuyasha was serious about what he meant. With one clean jab straight forward, his fist collided with Kouga's neck, catching the wolf demon off guard. Had the man been a human and not a full demon, the blow would have probably done a lot more serious damage. Although it didn't kill him, the punch was enough for him to fall backwards, holding his neck. In the very same second, Inuyasha flew over him and started throwing wild fists, not really bothering to aim them properly. All Inuyasha wanted to do was hit Kouga, no matter what it took.

After the shock of being hit in the neck subsided, Kouga felt the weight of Inuyasha's hit crash against his face which was all he needed to feel before using only one arm to block his hits. He waited a few seconds for an opening before using his other arm to deck Inuyasha in the side of his face. The hit made him stumble to the side but he quickly recovered himself as Kouga jumped to his feet. The two became tangled in punches, shirt pulling, and neck grabbing while Naraku cheered for Inuyasha on the sideline. Both demon men were going at it strong but Inuyasha's accurate blows to his sensitive spots were starting to get the best of him. This caused him to do something drastic.

With one small leap, he toppled on top of Inuyasha, gnawing at his ear. Inuyasha growled out in pain and his senses went wild. He buried his nails deeps into the tops of Kouga's abdomen, and shoved him off backwards into the door. Inuyasha charged for him and the two men fell through the door. Thinking quick, his hand gripped Kouga's neck while the other punched him in various parts of his face. Kouga's head had hit the wall right before they fell so his eyesight took a minute to recover from it. He focused mainly on trying to get Inuyasha's hand from around his neck as opposed to the punches he could hardly feel anymore.

Finally taking initiative, Miroku stood up from his seat in the couch and jogged over to the bathroom, passing by the still cheering Naraku. Once his eyes saw what was going on, his heart grew with worry as to whose blood was it on the floor.

"Quick standing there instigating and help me break this up!" He yelled at Naraku as he lunged for Inuyasha. He was only a human and knew very well that he wouldn't be able to hold Inuyasha back by himself unless Inuyasha actually didn't want to fight. Judging by how hard Inuyasha was throwing fists, Miroku was certain this was a fight Inuyasha wanted. He threw his elbow around Inuyasha's kneck, putting him in a choke hold, and pulled him back as far as his body would let him. Naraku rolled his eyes before deciding to lend his assistance. He grabbed Inuyasha's arms by the wrists and pushed him back into the dining room where Miroku was pulling him back too. Miroku looked over and could see Kouga gathering himself to his feet.

"Stay there Kouga! Y'all two need to chill man! This is getting out of hand!"

"Miroku...I'm trying not to fucking hurt you but on everything, if you don't let me the fuck go, i'm going to beat your ass right along with his!" Inuyasha threatened.

"Inuyasha, I will let you go. I just need you to calm down. I'll deal with Kouga. I just don't want you to get hurt or go to jail for some stupid shit. Just let it go Inuyasha"

Inuyasha could have threw Miroku over his back and out of the windows if he wanted but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to actually want to do that to him no matter how upset he was at everyone. He let Miroku's words sit for a moment. Growing up, Inuyasha was the fighter between the two of them. Regardless of knowing he would lose or not, Inuyasha was always ready to brawl if need be. His super scrawny build didn't help him in high school but he had a lot of stamina to keep him going. Miroku had no problems jumping in when need be but could never stand the sight of seeing his friend hurt after a bad fight. His only solution would be to hold Inuyasha back and try to convince him it's not worth it. Just like he was doing now. Inuyasha felt the farthest from calm but decided that he was officially done with everyone in the room.

"Whatever man. Get the fuck off of me so I can leave." He managed to choke out. Miroku held his grip for a few more seconds before letting go and backing up as Naraku did the same. Kouga was still catching his breath in the bathroom.

"I put something in your pocket. Trust me you'll need it later." Naraku said, twisting his hand on his hip.

His words went ignored by the half demon. Inuyasha didn't have anything else to say so he left out and never looked back.

---

He drove through the traffic filled campus as fast as he possibly could. While he maneuvered through the slow driving cars, his phone rung through the speakers in the car. He pressed the answer button on his steering wheel before speaking.

"Hello?"

"Hello there Inuyasha." His mother greeted him with a warm tone.

He hadn't heard from her in a few weeks so he wanted to enjoy hearing her but the conflict from only moments ago was still fresh in his brain. "Hi mom."

"How is my grown man doing? Has everything been going well? Are you still doing good in your classes?" She started talking, asking multiple questions as once before even giving him the chance to answer.

"Mom, mom chill. Everything is going good. I'm still doing good in classes as far as I know. Before you know it, midterms will come and then finals and then boom, winter break. It's not that bad doing classes by the semester. "

"Oh I'm happy to hear that. So happy to hear it..." She trailed off. Inuyasha could sense something was bothering her.

"Everything okay mom?" He asked, concerned.

"Oh of course! Everything is great! Your dad actually just got back from another trip so we're supposed to go out tonight he says. I know he has been super busy trying to get everything back together so I'm just glad we can have this night to ourselves. I just worry sometimes about his well being because he just looks so stressed every time he comes home...I'm sure tonight will put an end to that though."

Knowing what she didn't know felt like a stab to the chest almost. Knowing that he also couldn't tell her because Sesshomaru already had a hold on the situation stabbed him twice as hard. He gripped tightly onto the steering well to keep himself from saying anything.

'That fucking guilty bastard...He probably listened to Sesshomaru's threat and decided to tell her tonight...I'm so sorry mom.' He thought to himself.

"Yeah, I'm sure everything will be okay."

"Yeah, but I don't like to worry you with my problems. You know that. So, have you gotten a chance to meet any young ladies?" She cooed over the phone.

He knew it was only a matter of time before she finally asked that question. He felt semi-better that he could actually give her an answer this time. "Eh, well yeah. I'm actually about to go on a date with her in an hour. I just got off the phone with her not too long ago. I have to go pick some stuff first. I got her a few gifts-"

"Oh my gosh! My son is the romantic type! You actually plan dates? Oh that makes me feel so much better. At least one of my sons are doing it right. Sesshomaru just kinda pays people to make stuff look pretty, you get half an hour of his time and poof, he's gone but at least I have you to brag about. Now that damn Nancy doesn't get to hold the title of best child ever anymore!"

He laughed internally at her competitiveness. "Okay mom, but yeah. I do like her probably a bit more than I should and I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth because I have been in so much denial these past few weeks. I like her a lot, like a lot of a lot mom. I'm talking high school crush status type of like. When you see someone you think is cute and interesting and you gotta know more about them and you gotta talk to them and before you know it, all of sudden you're married in the head? Yeah, that type of high school crush status."

"Eeeeee! My son is growing up! He has found a wife! You're actually interested in children unlike your brother so now I can actually have grandbabies! Thank the heavens, my prayers are answered! Does she know you like her? Does she like you?"

"Eh, I don't know if she likes me but I told her in a vague way that I am interested in her. I didn't want to scare her off mom because we met just a little bit before school started so it hasn't been that long."

"Who cares how long it has been. Do you know your dad saw me one day and made it his goal to marry me? The biggest player in all of school stopped everything he was doing to get with me! This was all because I bent over to pick up a pencil so you never know where the most temporary people may take you or how long they will actually be around because I really thought your dad would be just a fling but...turns out he did marry me and now we're here. We still have our issues but we're still happily in love."

"If you say so mom..."

"Don't be a debby downer. I'm sure she's a good looking girl. You're always interested in those hussy looking ones anyway."

"Ugh! Really mom? You're just gonna insult my taste in women?"

"Well I've never seen you bring home a woman in a long skirt and a shirt that actually covered her goodies. The most decent one was that Shiori girl but even her skirt was a little too short for me."

"It was our school uniform mom. She couldn't help it if our school staff were perverts."

"I've been in school before Inuyasha. She could have at least wore tights."

"Whatever mother. This girl is different. I mean most of the clothes I've seen her in were pretty short on the legs but it's hot out here mom-"

"See what I mean! That's all your attracted to! Maybe this is why your luck with these girls isn't working Inuyasha. A woman is more than her body-"

"Mom, mom, mom! I know, ok? Geez, I'm just saying that although some of her clothes are short on the legs, the way she wears her outfits are different than the other girls. Her shorts don't come above her butt or anything like that and honestly she rarely shows cleavage. Now that I think of it, I can't even remember seeing her show it at all so chill please mom. She is not like the other ones...Plus you know me better than anyone mom, you know I hate boring girls. I could never date a girl for her looks."

"You are your father's child after all Inuyasha. I can't put it past you or Sesshomaru considering how your father met me. Nonethless, I'm sure when you're ready to let me meet this girl, she'll be properly clothed. If it's winter and I see her in a mini skirt, I will then recite the famous line that all the young people say these days. 'Hoes don't get cold' is it? Yes. That's it."

"Mom!" He laughed out. He couldn't take his mother's silliness sometimes because he knew no matter how much it sounded like she was joking, she was dead serious. This was something he always warned girls of before meeting her before they laughed off something snarky. His mom says what she means and means what she says.

"Okay then, how about this. One last trivia question before I go, tell me what's so interesting about her? Do you even know anything about her at all?"

"Oh that's an easy question mom. She is an astrology major I think? Either that or astronomy. I always get the two mixed up but it's the one to do with the universe and planets and how everything came to be. I haven't had a chance to pick her brain about it but when I saw the look on her face as she talked about it, I could tell it was something she loved. Kinda like me, when I talk about the pictures I take. She also used to figure skate back in high school but she stopped because she didn't want to keep up with her figure-"

"Wait, so she's fat now?"

"Well she thinks she is but she's not- wait! Mom why does it matter? She's pretty to me."

"Because I don't want you dating some fat girl. We are a fit family and I don't want you changing your lifestyle just because of some fat girl."

He mentally face palmed himself. He loved his mom but the phone call was making him remember why he didn't tell her certain things. "You are a therapist. You are supposed to be the least judgmental person on earth. Yet you are making assumptions that I'm gonna get fat if I have a fat girlfriend."

"You are not my client at this moment. You are my son and I am telling you I don't want you changing up just because of some girl."

"Mom...listen. Kagome is not fat kay? She's not fat but she's not skinny either. She's a decent in between for me. Even if she was fat, I'm not gonna stop going to the gym or stop eating what I want just because I might date her in the future. Either way, new and improved Inuyasha is way more likely to date a fat girl than a skinny girl. I'm sorry mom, I like what I like. Sesshomaru is the one that likes them skinny, petite, and with booty meat mom so you are better off at supporting his relationship than mine. Plus I was only into skinny girls because everyone was skinny in middle school. I didn't know what I was missing out on."

"Oh my goodness, my son has a fetish for fat chicks."

"Mom! Would you stop! It's not that serious. You guys have been wanting me to look for a girl for so long and now that someone interests me, all of a sudden, there are these rules for who I can and cannot date. You guys either want me to be happy or you don't. It's that simple."

Inuyasha pulled into his complex and parked the car. He wanted to finish the conversation before he went inside.

"Oh Inuyasha, don't be like that. Of course I want you to be happy...I just want to make sure the woman understands that she cannot freeload off of you because she wants to be fat and lazy and-"

"Skinny people can be lazy and freeloaders too mom."

"Oh you know what I mean!"

"I don't but okay. I love you mom and I'll probably call you again soon about where things are going. I love you."

"Alright honey bun. I love you too! Call me when you can."

He made his way upstairs. Upon arriving on his floor, he found a pile of boxes in front of his door as he requested. He moved all of the boxes inside of his apartment before shutting the door. He put away the items that need to be refrigerated while setting aside the gifts and other physical attributes. Once he was satisfied where everything was placed, he stacked the boxes inside one another to move them out of sight in the corner of the living room area.

Checking the time, he realized he had almost half and hour left before he had to pick Kagome. He made due with his time and jumped right in the shower. He used all of his most expensive products to ensure he smelled nice for the entire day. He even did three rounds of shampoo and two rounds of conditioner to be extra. To speed up the process, he also brushed his teeth in the shower.

Finally stepping out, he wrapped a towel around his waist and shook out all of the excess water left in his head. It left splatter of water all over the bathroom, but his hair was left almost completely dry from it. Exiting the bathroom, he grabbed his clothes from the floor and took his phone out of his pocket. His dirty clothes hit the hamper while his towel was welcomed to a spot on his bed along with his phone that had just been placed on speaker phone.

Moments after the first few dial tones, a smooth voice answered from the other end.

"Yes young one."

"Hey Sesshomaru." Inuyasha spoke loudly from his walk in closet to make sure Sesshomaru heard him.

"What's up."

"You won't believe who I just got off the phone with."

"Who would that be?"

"Mom bro. She said dad just got back from another trip and wants to take her out tonight. I'm assuming its not gonna end well since you already threatened him to tell her."

"Who knows what could be going on in your father's head. I'll give her a call tomorrow. If she doesn't answer, then we'll know that he told her."

"How does that help?"

"When is the last time mom has ignored our calls on the weekend? You know when she isn't working, she is waiting patiently beside the phone for the damn thing to ring."

"Oh yeah. That's true. It just hurts me a little y'know? She sounded so excited to go out with him tonight and we kinda already know that the night might not end well."

"I wouldn't worry your head too much about it little brother. There isn't much we can do about it. This is their marriage and he honestly made his own bed with this one. Just focus on school and that little girlfriend of yours and I'll deal with our parents."

"If you say so Sesshomaru…and she isn't my girlfriend."

Inuyasha had been getting himself ready as he talked to his older brother. He decided on a red short sleeved turtleneck with white skinny jeans. He then looked over his rack of shoes with a finger on his chin.

"Then what is she then?" Sesshomaru asked.

"A friend. Heh, she told me today she wanted to be upgraded to best friend."

"So…she's friend zoning you?"

" No dipshit.…or at least I don't think so. I mean, if that's what she meant then I don't know what's on her mind because friend zone wasn't the tune she was singing last night so..."

"She's letting you sleep with her but she wants to be called your best friend? That's not the friend zone, she wants you the same way clearly."

"If you say so. I'm putting my shoes on so I gotta go Sesshomaru. I'm about to go pick Kagome up."

"Trust me, I know so. I will talk to you soon. Bye."

The sound of the phone call ending bleeped and Inuyasha grabbed grabbed his phone off of the bed. He snatched up all of the necessities to put in his pocket before doing a light jog out the door.

---

She had already showered and prepared her outfit on the bed. She didn't know exactly what Inuyasha had planned so she decided on a neutral outfit consisting of a black and white fitted floral Romper along with a pair of black opened toed four-inch wedges. She wanted to be tall but not taller than him. The last thing she needed to do was apply her makeup. She had prepared her desk as a temporary vanity for the occasion. To keep her occupied, she turned on facebook live to do a "get ready with me" video for whoever decided to tune in. As soon as she went live, fifteen people had already joined.

"Hey guys!" She said, placing her phone down against the backboard of the desk so that the video could see her from the waist and up. Once she was satisfied, she started off priming her skin.

"Yeah so...I have a date today I guess you guys could say so...I'm just going to be getting ready and talking or whatever." She glanced back at the feed every few seconds to see the new comments coming in. One of them had been from an old middle school friend asking for the details.

"Hey Renji! What's up. Yeah, I mean he's not really my boyfriend or anything like that but I can't say I'm not interested in him. He is super cute, his hair is super long, and he has been a super sweetheart to me so...I just wanna have fun and have a place to get away when school is being stressful and stuff..." She began to trail off as one of the incoming comments had asked about Kouga.

"Don't ask about him guys because I'm not talking about him. Just leave it at that. Anyway, like I said, there is this really cute guy and he's taking me out in a few minutes actually which is why I'm rushing to get this concealer and stuff on...I don't do this stuff often enough to be able to do it really fast so..." She took another glance at the comments and read another that said she moved on quickly.

"Pft. Please. You guys wished I moved on quickly. Just because I finally removed the relationship from my facebook doesn't mean that's when it actually happened. You guys don't know the half of my relationship with the man so please don't tell me how fast I moved on. It's not like I have a boyfriend or I'm getting married or something like that...and even if I was, it's my business so...I appreciate the concern but trust me I'm fine."

She finished applying her base for the makeup and wanted to finish everything up with eyeliner and faux eyelashes. "I don't know everyone. I just haven't felt...this excited...to go out in a while...forgive me if I keep pausing...I just really...don't want to mess the eyeliner up...there! Okay, now I can talk normal again." She looked over and saw the viewing size went from fifteen to over a hundred people watching.

"Wow, so many people now...hey Sango...hey Shippo...Shippo why are you coming over?...you forgot your brush? How'd you forget it...whatever. I'll see in a little bit I guess but hurry up because I'm about to go out. Anywho, let's get these eyelashes on and then some matte lipstick and boom. Uh, yeah. So how is everyone doing today? I woke up late as shit because um...well personal reasons but I had such a hard time getting up and now mother nature just wants to slither her way back into my life for our monthly sessions and it just sucks getting punished for not being preggers."

As she finished putting on the finishing touches to her look, she outlined her cherry red lipstick with another matte dark cherry lip liner. She rubbed her lips together to blend before smacking and making kissy faces in her mirror.

"Okay well, there you have it everyone. Ya girl is glammed up and ready to show out. Hope you all enjoyed sitting here watching me do nothing but run my mouth...Shippo I see you're still watching, hurry the hell up! It's almost noon and I gotta go. I'm not leaving my key for you...I'm talking to you! Come on, anyway, bye everybody!" She shut the broadcast off and got up from her seat to put her outfit.

After she was done getting dressed, there was a frantic knock at the door. She wobbled over to the door in her never worn before wedges and unlocked the door.

"Hey, you damn near packed my stuff the other morning with yours. I don't know how you forgot your brush and how are you just noticing that." She asked as Shippo spotted his brush sitting on her dresser.

"Bitch I don't know. I was using Bankotsu's brush this whole time without noticing it. Funny story about that though so.." He turned around, leaning on her dresser. "I went to use his brush and saw the mixture of my hair and his hair but since my dumbass was still thinking it was my brush, I was confused as to what other black haired bitch he had in our home using our brush because he never uses my stuff. So long story short, he got cussed out, and put out all before I noticed that I was using his shit...and now I'm here and he is back in the comfort of our dorm room."

Kagome shook her head at her friend. "Now you're the one accusing him of cheating. Seems like the shoe is now on the other foot."

"Right! That's what I said to keep him from getting mad at me. Heehee! But I still feel bad because I was so loud in front of everybody. I probably embarrassed him and oh my gosh, it was a mess but imma be good from now on. No more assumptions."

"Thank you, Bankotsu seems like a pretty decent guy and I would hate for you to screw that up...same goes for him too!"

Shippo did a twirl into a pose. "I know, because I am the baddest bitch on this campus! I say that because you live off campus now girlie."

"Aww! Thaaannkkss!" She spoke with a high pitched preppy voice.

Shippo imitated it right back. "Yas darling, that's so fetch! Now off I go to slay more bitches hunty cunty-eeww, I sound so flamboyant. We gotta stop this."

She opened the door for him. "No one told you to imitate me sir."

"Whatever whore and that's sir bad bitch to you so that these hoes still know that I'm a boy that's a bad bitch." He waved his goodbyes and left out. As soon as kagome shut the door behind him and locked it, she heard him shout through the door.

"Whore, your date's here! Bye Inuyasha!"

She heard him loud and clear but as her fingers touched the cool surface of the door knob, she realized she didn't have her favorite white hoops in her ears. She scrambled back over to her dresses to put them in. Luckily she had already packed her small handbag or else that would've been next on the to-do list.

"One second Inuyasha!" She called out as her fingers fiddled with the earrings. As soon as she snatched them in place, she grabbed her bag and took took one last look at herself in her tiny mirror. Judging herself positively, she then went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, she was met with a bright smile from the taller man who of course took his turn to look her over and she did him. She was able to hide her interest but he made no effort in hiding his. He even peeked his head over her shoulder to try and get a good look at her bottom which resulted in a light slap on the shoulder and a wiggled finger in his face. She stepped into the hall with him and locked the door behind herself. Once her keys were secured in her bag, she gave him a smile in return.

"Well, I'm ready when you are. Where are we going anyway?" She asked.

He laughed lightly at her question. "Oh, you'll see."

These were his words to her which made her expect a super extravagant restaurant. Instead she was met with a rolling rink. Not the type she was used to either. When Inuyasha's car pulled into the crowded parking lot, she could see families and couples all carrying roller skates in their hands. She frantically looked at Inuyasha for an explanation.

"Hey! Why'd you bring me here? I thought I told you I knew how to Ice skate, not roller skate."

He turned the key out of the ignition as the car's purring ceased. "Well my dear, I certainly remember you telling me that you can ice skate. I was unaware that you couldn't roller skate...You really can't roller skate?" He asked, dumbfounded.

Sucking her teeth, she pouted her bottom lip out. "Nooooo. I can't. I fucking suck at roller skating. I always bust my ass like every single time."

"So how the fuck do you know how to ice skate? Isn't that harder than roller skating?"

"I wish I could tell you buddy but I don't know the answer to that myself. I just...got the hang of ice skating a lot easier. Plus I was always padded up when I went ice skating so the falls never hurt me too much. Plus, ice skating doesn't require you to stand on wheels!"

"Stop complaining and bring your ass on. I'll teach you how to roller skate. Trust me it's not that hard once you get past the noodle legs part." He teased the frustrated woman.

This only made her contoured cheeks puff out even more. "Inuyasha do we have to go? I really don't know how to do it." She asked, looking up at him.

"Yup, we most certainly do. I'll tell you this though." He took his seat belt off so that he could turn his body to face her. "If you learn to roller skate today, I'll let you teach me how to ice skate because I suck at the shit probably more than you do at roller skating."

She scrunched her lips to the side to ponder his deal. She didn't want her ankles to suffer another hour of her slipping at every angle possible but she was very fond of teaching and instilling confidence in others to ice skate. She did agree with Inuyasha that ice skating technically was supposed to appear as the harder of the two but felt that it depended mostly on the person; nonetheless, in her head, she felt that ice skating was harder which is why it frustrated her that she couldn't properly roller skate. After processing everything, she came to her final conclusion.

"Well..." She breathed out. "If you have to watch my bust my fat potato ass all over the rink, then I guess it's only fair if I make you break a bone or two on my turf."

"Kagome, I will gladly break three bones if it means you'll get your ass out of this hot ass car so we can be in the A/C."

"Fine, let's go then."

Inuyasha helped her out of the passenger seat until she had proper balance before locking his car. He held her hand the entire way to the door and up the stairs inside. He pulled out his wallet to pay the entry fee for the two of them. The uninterested teenager grabbed the money and placed it in the register without even counting it. Inuyasha had given her exact change but it didn't make his stare at her any less harder. He let his eyes hit the top of his lid only once to cut down on time the two of them weren't in the rink.

Walking through the double doors, the sound of rollerskates hitting the floor multiple times at once hit Kagome's ears but not as hard as Inuyasha's sensitive ears. He put a hand to hit head for a moment around his ears until he felt his ears adjust to the sound in the room. He spotted the skate stand to the left of them and pulled his wallet out again. He threw a fifty-dollar bill down and asked for two pair of skates, one pair of socks, and a locker. The buff man in the black and white striped shirt gave him the thumbs up before asking the sizes.

"Size 12 in mens and...what's your shoe size Kagome?" He turned his head to ask her.

"Size 8." She responded.

He nodded and reiterated that back to the employee who pulled down two pairs of skates along with a fresh pair of one-size-fits-all socks, and a locker key. He handed Inuyasha his change and the two walked over to the locker area. The amount of kids that almost bumped into Kagome on the way there almost made her want to go home more than than the thought of roller skating did but she tried her best to keep it together.

He handed her skates to her before swapping out his shoes for his pair of skates. While Kagome was slipping on the socks, Inuyasha already had his skates laced, tied, and ready to go. Once Kagome had her skates on, she tied them and tried to stand up only to sit right back down. Inuyasha shook his head in amusement as he grabbed their stuff and put it into the locker. He extended his hand to her which she grabbed onto for protection. She pulled herself up, trying to get some type of balance.

Luckily the the floor outside of the rink was carpet so the friction helped keep her grounded. While she was having a thousand thoughts go through her head about falling, Inuyasha stared down at the helpless woman strapped to his arm.

'Wow, so she is actually that scared to fall from the skates? I'm pretty sure ice hurts ten times worse, how can she be this petrified? Ah well, it's still cute all the same.'

"Alright, I'm going to take you for a few laps around the carpet and then we'll go onto the actual rink okay? Don't worry, you'll be alright." He reassured her.

Inuyasha stood comfortably in his skates while Kagome took two-inch steps at a time. Due to her not hardly moving when she did lift her feet up, after five minutes, the two of them hadn't move hardly anywhere. He used one foot to push the two of them forward slowly. To Kagome though, this was sheer horror.

"Stop!" She screeched in panic as she couldn't figure out how to stop her skates from moving. She tried desperately to lock her knees to keep them from overly wobbling but her ankles felt like they wanted to give out any minutes.

Kids on the carpet skated past them at break-neck speeds as Kagome panicked over the speed they were moving. Inuyasha wanted this to be a nice date where he could possibly have Kagome learn to depend on him a little more but it was becoming an actual teaching arena as opposed to what it was originally intended to be. Not before long, he found himself frustrated that Kagome didn't want to pick up speed. Thinking strongly to himself, he tried to come up with a strategy to get Kagome unafraid and moving.

That's when it hit him.

"Kagome, I know it seems scary because this isn't ice that moves you on its own but trust me. It works kinda the same. The same way you hold your balance on the ice moving you, just pretend the wheels are ice when you're moving and let the wheels do the work."

'I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about but I hope it works.'

Kagome's worried facial expression seemed to lighten up a bit. "I know, I'm sorry. I just could never figure out how to do this and I'm so scared to fall again."

"You fall all the time on ice right?"

"Inuyasha, I haven't fallen in such a long time. I don't even remember what it feels like."

"Well if I promise to catch you every time, will you give this a better shot for me?" He leaned down and gave her a comforting peck on the neck which seemed to ease her shoulders once he did so.

"I guess...but if my ass even touches the floor once, we are out of here."

"Fine by me."

Kagome tried her best to pretend she was ice skating again. As she picked up her feet more, she began to get used to the heavy weight of the skates. She made sure to squeeze almost all of the circulation out of Inuyasha's hand the entire time but he was glad they were actually picking up more speed. It was a limit to how fast they could go due to the carpet but he wanted to get her comfortable with moving before she ended up hurting herself on the skating floor.

He checked down on her legs and feet often to make sure she was keeping them a fair distance apart. Surprisingly her form for moving her feet was almost spot on but her legs were still shaking as if she had been locked inside a bounce house for hours. As she became more comfortable with pushing herself forward, Inuyasha could feel the death grip she had on his hand loosen up. It was still a tight squeeze but progress was being made.

After having her go around the outside of the rink twice without falling, she appeared okay with walking and moving forward with the skates but Inuyasha knew fair well that the inside of the rink and the outside were two of the most different playing fields. He checked inside the oval floor to see there was still a high velocity of people skating around but not too many inside the inner circle meant for beginners. The half demon's stomach turned at the thought of leaving her to fend for herself inside of there while he skated around so he internally decided that probably wasn't the best option.

Still holding onto her hand, he leaned down to talk into her ear so that she could hear him over the music playing from the DJ. "Okay so I'm going to do a quick lap around and I want you to watch me. I'm not going to do any fancy tricks or anything like that."

She nodded, placing her hands on the brick wall that outlined the rink. Inuyasha glided onto the floor,almost instantly obtaining a faster speed than on the carpet which to him felt like nothing but in the eyes of Kagome, he was going a little too fast for her liking; nonetheless, she watched him and his feet move carefully. She could see a similar form in how he moved his feet compared to how she moved hers when she would ice skate. Within no time, he had done a full circle back around to her. He put his hand on the wall to stop instead of using his skates.

"So for stopping, I would just advise to use the wall to slow down until you get to an opening where you can get out. Try not to hold the wall for too long because they get really anal about it here. I don't wanna teach you how to use the brakes because its really tricky."

"Okay...so how do I not fall when I step out?" She asked innocently.

He chuckled at her, grabbing her softly by the wrists and bringing her form to the opening. "Its easy You just step out as if you would any floor. I'm holding you so you don't have to worry about falling. Just put one foot down and use the other to push you off like we did on the carpet."

"O-okay. She said, as her leg wobbled upon touching the shiny wooden floor. She could feel the difference in the wheels under her feet as the friction almost completely disappeared. Inuyasha had a hold on her wrists but feeling her feet slide without any movement from her caused her to grab his wrists right back.

The first foot was moving all on its own and she didn't know how to stop it so she brought her other foot in hoping it would stop but that only turned into both of her feet wobbly moving forward. Inuyasha had to hold in his laughter after staring at her noodle legs but he made a promise to laugh at it later once she felt better and more comfortable with skating.

"Calm down Kagome. Its okay. I'm the one that's moving backwards while you skate. Just try to push yourself with one foot at a time and I'll do the rest for now."

With fear on the brain, she almost couldn't process what Inuyasha was saying but she wanted to get over her fears as quick as possible. She brushed her ankle back to get a little bit more speed which didn't go as badly as she had planned. Inuyasha has already steered them into the middle of the rink where people could practice so there were dozens of people skating effortlessly around the two of them.

He was using his body to keep the two of them moving so that she could learn to balance herself and he would let her move on her own later once she at least had that straight.

"Kagome, love, you gotta stop being scared. I'm pretty sure you know how to do the most angelic twirls in the air and shit when you ice skate and you probably are the most fearless out there too."

"I was the most padded up at practice because I hated the idea of falling..." She confessed.

"It'll be fine Kagome. I promise, I won't let you fall. My reflexes are way too fast for that."

Inuyasha gave her his word and he kept it. Several families and friends had already come and gone but Inuyasha stayed in the middle with Kagome until she could do the basics. Not once did he lose his patience nor did he make her let go of his hands. It took her two hours but she was finally able to gain some balance in the skates and she soon became the one controlling their speed and she didn't have to rely on holding Inuyasha's hands any longer.

"You're doing great. So I want you to do it by yourself now. Just for a few minutes though. You think you can do it?" He asked her.

She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know but...you never know if you don't try so..." She took a deep breath. "Okay, okay. You can let me go."

He slowly released his fingers from her hands as he still continued to skate backwards so that he could keep an eye on her. She put her arms out to keep her balance but her legs weren't wobbling as much as they were before and she was steadily pushing herself forward and around with the skates. Although she was the only grown person in the middle that needed to learn, it didn't bother her as much now that she was actually moving like she was supposed to.

Her chest filled with light as she realized her knees weren't buckling and her legs didn't feel like they were made of jelly. Even her ankles were steady whenever she moved or needed to turn. Her eyes of course mostly paid attention to her lower half but she was still able to do the same movements while looking up. A smile spread across her face as the feeling of accomplishment reigned over her. To celebrate, she skated quickly towards Inuyasha with a strong lunge to kick her off quickly. She flew into body which took him aback but as an experienced skater, he was able to keep himself steady while accepting her hug of gratitude.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankthankyou soooooooo much!" She said quickly, giving his torso a tight squeeze.

Although the trip got off to a slow start, Inuyasha appreciated being able to share the moment with Kagome. He didn't expect it to happen the way it did but the time together made him understand a little more than he did coming into the rink. When he met her, he could read her almost like a book because although she didn't try to, her facial expressions, body language, and the way she spoke said a lot about her. It was until her situation with Kouga that he made a general assumption about her but it didn't have anything concrete to stand on so he threw it out. After watching her reaction to skating, he was pretty sure his assumption was right.

Kagome didn't like to fail, she didn't like to fall, and she didn't like to be wrong.

He wasn't sure where she got it from or where it came about but it was something that intrigued him about her because it was the exact opposite of him. Inuyasha was someone who realized long ago that life isn't perfect and mistakes are normally what someone would learn from as opposed to getting stuff right the first time. Messing up didn't feel good but he could live with them and learn from them. Kagome on the other hand didn't want to make mistakes at all. This was the farthest from the first impression he thought of her.

Finally being able to skate on two feet without being held, Inuyasha skated off into the crowd of people, waving for her to follow. Her heart beat sped up a little at the thought of joining in and finding a space amongst the dozens of people skating around but watching Inuyasha smoothly go around gave her a confidence boost. When he came back around full circle, she lunged forward again to grab his forearm so that she wouldn't get lost. Side to side, their feet went back and forth in unison until they found a comfortable speed for the both of them to participate in.

"I'm surprised you're not freaking out right now." He told her.

"Well.." She started off, trying to decided whether she should boost his ego or not but after a few seconds, she let it slide. "With a great teacher like you, I'm sure I can do anything on this floor right now."

Then all of a sudden, a gleam peaked in his eye and his smile went from friendly to devilish in a matter of seconds. "Oh yeah? Can you do this?"

While in motion, he lifted his knee and grabbed his ankle, only to do a full split standing up while on one skate. He held it for a solid ten seconds before putting his leg down and continuing their skate patten. He stared back down at her to see a blank expression looking up at him like he did the most dangerous stunt known to man.

"Come on Kagome, I can do way worse than that. I can do all types of twists and twirls and tap dancing and shit in skates. It's easy to me because I've been doing this shit for so long."

"Well...okay sir. That's fine and dandy but we're in your element. I can do all of that shit too in ice skates so don't come for my skill because I am legendary on the ice."

"Whatever. I'm just happy we can skate together now and you came out of this uninjured."

After a few more laps around the rink, Kagome complained of being hungry so Inuyasha helped her off of the floor so that the two of them could eat. They went back to the locker Inuyasha bought to put on their regular shoes before heading over to the food cafe. Inuyasha ordered them a medium pepperoni pizza with a side of french fries and two milkshakes. While they waited for their food, the took one of the free tables.

"I've always loved the food at these places which is the only reason I ever let my mom drag me here whenever Souta wanted to come."

"Yeah same here but it was always me that would eat last because I would skate so much that the last thing on my mind was food which is kinda funny because all the other eight-year olds are like 'Yeah! Let's go get pizza guys!' and I'm still skating like 'my parents buy me pizza every saturday night. I don't need your peasant pizza. I came to fucking win dammit. I will skate till my ankles break' and the irony of that is that the first time I ever thought of that was the day I broke my ankles...after taking my skates off. I literally yanked the skate off so hard, my ankle almost came with it."

She was glad the food didn't come out because she almost spit out her own saliva at that point. "What?! You broke your own ankle? Damn, how strong are you?"

"Strong enough to fight which is why it was always me fighting and not Miroku...the irony of that is that I was super fucking skinny growing up so more than often, I would get my ass beat here and there but that never stopped me from socking an eye or two; I was always ready to go. Sesshomaru hated that about me though! Because he would do something so small like throw my toothbrush in the trash or something and I would be so ready to fight over shit like that and he would beat me up but it didn't matter because I would yank his hair out and that bitch would be bald for a little while and I was a mess Kagome. I'm better now but I was a hot head growing up."

"Judging by your stories, I can tell. I never fought with my brother that often. The only time I can remember us fighting was when I found his friends snooping around in my room and he tried to pretend that was okay. Mom didn't let him have any friends over for the next six months but I went off on him that day. I was a mega bitch. I threw away all of his action figured, his collectible pillows, like I went into his room and I trashed that bitch."

"So you weren't the fighter type? You didn't hit him or anything?"

"Of course not. I didn't really like the idea of fighting but if I had to, I would. Only for defense of course...but I mean there was the time with the lunch tray..."

"The lunch tray?! What the fuck did you do with a lunch tray Kagome?"

"Okay so, I never told anyone here this yet. Kouga is the only one that knows. Ayame is his ex and I had a small crush on Kouga at one point in time but I never tried to go after him or anything but she didn't care. She would bully me, beat me up, and use her friends to hurt me and stuff and one day she dumped her entire lunch tray on me and I kinda blacked out. Next thing I knew, I slammed the tray against her head and it shattered. It was a super durable plastic so it made a really loud noise when it broke. I don't know, I just got tired of her messing with me."

Inuyasha leaned back from across the table. "I'm guessing this is how you and Kouga started talking?" He asked out of curiosity.

She nodded. "Yeah but too bad he changed. Surprisingly, Ayame is the one that apologized and stuff but I don't know what to believe because then I found her all in Kouga's face at that party so fuck the both of them to be honest."

He shifted in his seat after hearing her comment and decided to switch the topic. "It's fine. I get it honestly. So how are you and Shippo? You two seem to be getting pretty close."

She smiled at the thought of her friend. "Oh yeah! Well we have been and I don't know why. We just kinda click really well ya know? We ran into Sango the other day and she bumped me and he was so defensive over me and I've just never had that from any of my friends. Sango was kinda half and half when we were close but nowadays I don't know what's on her mind. She apologized for everything but it still feels weird interacting with her. It feels really empty."

"Hmmm...Well I could tell you its probably because you still feel iffy about her."

His words sparked interest in her and she leaned forward in his direction, putting her head in her palm. "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah well if no one has ever had your back like that, its kinda hard to trust them after a certain point. Plus you're getting what you want out of a friendship from Shippo so with Sango, she kinda doesn't play a role in your life anymore so your brain doesn't see her as important at this point to even want to build a relationship back up again. You know our brain throws out stuff it doesn't see as important to make space for more relevant info in our heads?"

"Well that would make sense I guess. I don't know. I just feel bad because she is my cousin and we did have a relationship prior but at this point, I don't want to seem fake or anything like that."

"Trust me. I get it. Just do what feels right for you and don't ever let someone make you feel bad for doing what's best for you."

She reached forward and grabbed his hand on the table. "Thanks Inuyasha."

Not expecting the sudden affection, his chest fluttered open inside and out. He intertwined their fingers and stood up from his seat to slide in the seat next to her. It was up close and personal but Kagome made no attempt to stop his from getting that close to her face. He turned to the side a little and closed the gap between them, planting a few short and sweet kisses on her lips. He wanted to ask if he could kiss her but his head took over before his mouth could let out a word. Luckily for him, Kagome kissed him right back. She even was trying not to smile into the kisses but he could feel it every time he came down for more.

"I feel like I have been telling you this a lot but you know you're really cute right? I keep saying it because it keeps coming into my mind." He said in between kisses.

"Mhm." She said back not really trying to form or think of a sentence.

"Ahem. Here's your food." Someone said, excusing themselves between the love fiasco going on with the two students.

Kagome jumped out of kiss but Inuyasha's half lidded eyes continued to stare at her. The employee walked away after sitting their food down and Kagome did her best to thank them as his mouth then went down to her neck.

"Inuyasha! We're in public!" She whispered harshly at him.

"So? If you could smell the things I smell right now, you'd think a lot differently of the people inside this building right now."

"Oh well. I am not one of these people. I have dignity." She said sternly to him.

His back slammed against the cool blue brick wall as the dim light shined down on the two of them. His mouth was panting heavily from the demonstration being done on his below from the squatting woman. She roughly went up and down on him, swirling her tongue at every chance she could. He knew she didn't want to be on the floor for long so he grabbed her by her nicely done hair and fucked her mouth back and forth. He could hear and feel the muffled sound coming from her as his hard membered continued to invade her cheeks down to her throat.

"Ah, yes. Suck that dick for me baby. Suck...that...dick..Ah." He moaned out before he blew into her mouth, leaving his mouth open to the ceiling. He rode his high out until he heard her swallow everything.

In one swift motion, he grabbed her by the ass and threw her on the sink. While his mouth ate away at her neck, his fingers trickled their way up her romper to slide her panties to the side. In the same pattern as the night before, he stuck a finger in, then two, and then three, picking up speeds with each added finger. She threw her arms around his neck, biting against her lips to keep herself from screaming out as his fingers rammed inside her. She bucked against him each time, trying to keep up and trying to release herself from the pent up feeling inside her pelvis.

"Ah, Inuyasha slow down.." She tried to tell him but this only made him go faster. She tried to hold his wrists but to no avail. The pleasure was becoming too much for her and she was losing a a grip on all of her senses. Her eyes began to rest in the back of her head while her mouth couldn't taste anything but the buds on her tongue, the smell of the bathroom went completely non existent, and white noise was all she could register. The feeling of her fingers clawing at his clothed back was the only sense she could make out somewhat before he found that spot inside of her and hit it with everything in him.

Not knowing how to handle it, she became a grinding mess, wrapping her legs around him as her head titled back in bliss and his fingers were coated in her wetness. She fell limp against his chest before hearing a deep chuckle from him. He kissed her ear and helped her to her feet. He let her leave the bathroom first before waiting a few minutes to come behind her. When they returned to their food, they found that there was still a small trace of steam coming from the food.

The two sat down next to each other, faces still partially red from the session they just had. Kagome was still flustered but Inuyasha thought nothing of it. He was happy and he was hungry so he wanted to fill the other hole inside of him. He grabbed a slice and ate at it as Kagome looked around.

"Kagome calm down. Even if anyone saw us, they're not gonna say shit. Trust me. If you knew what this place smelled like, you would not be this worried." He reassured her.

She felt her hand around her neck. "I don't know Inuyasha. I don't normally do that type of stuff..."

"Oh so that's what you and Kouga would do." He teased.

"No! I mean we did stuff but not like that. We would be home or in his dad's limo but nothing would ever go too far. We weren't really like that in public. We would kiss sometimes but that's about it."

"Ah, I get it. So you guys were innocent in public...Well, I'll tell you something. Fucking around with me, you're probably not going to get that my dear."

She avoided his gaze, and played with her hair around her shoulder. "So, you're one of those boys." She said amused at his words.

"Oh really love? Tell me more." He leaned over, continuing to gaze at her.

"Well, you know. You're one of those guys that likes to do that stuff in public."

"Well, I guess you could say that but it depends on the girl honestly...can I tell you something Kagome."

She pulled the fries towards herself before nodding. "Yeah, sure." She said, not thinking much of it.

"I...matter of fact. I'll hold off on that but remind me of it when we get back in the car."

"Uh...ok. Is it something important?"

Inuyasha finally cut his gaze from her as he realized the corner he backed himself in. "Well you could say that. Just depends on what you see as important."

"Okay then."

The two of them carried on their conversation as they ate and by the time they were done, they had become so into talking that they had forgotten about skating. As time passed, Inuyasha finally checked his watch an it was a quarter to six in the evening. The two of them returned their skates and locker key before leaving the venue. This time, Kagome grabbed his hand as they walked out. With summer coming to an end, the sun was beginning to slowly return to its regular setting schedule leaving the sky a bright orange and red tone.

Once they were back in the car, Inuyasha turned the car on but left it in park mode. Kagome was on her phone scrolling through facebook. When she finally noticed the silence between them, she turned to him to say something only to find him staring at her again.

"Uh, is there something on my face?" She asked, confused.

He shook his head. "No."

'Well...it's now or never Inuyasha. You said you'd do things differently this time.' He thought, mentally prepping himself for the words he was about to say.

"Kagome, I told you and others have told you that I am a very upfront person right?"

She nodded slowly, hands folded in her lap. She began to worry about what he was going to say. "Yeah...Why?"

"Well, I have not been the most upfront person with you as I probably should've been...and you're probably the only girl in my life as of right now that I have not been the most upfront with. I do apologize for that." He spoke softly.

This only made her worry more. "Um, I accept your apology? But I don't get it. What are you talking about Inuyasha? Was all this just a gam-"

"Stop. Just listen. I have not known you that long but that has never stopped me before from anyone I've ever talked to. I tried to be a little bit more sensitive because of your situation and all but honestly now that I think of it, sometimes I feel like I'm using your situation as a crutch or an excuse not to be all the way honest with you." He began to confess to her all the while still looking at her. Kagome on the other hand was having a hard time looking back. He could smell the fear and he could hear her heart but he had to make sure he worded everything the way he wanted to.

"You've been in situations where you have felt powerless a lot and I think that's why you are afraid to try certain things and why you're afraid to fail or be wrong. That's why I feel like I should let you be in control of this situation. I don't want to keep walking around with these fucking thought sitting at the back of my mind. Kagome..." He grabbed her hand out of her lap and kissed the top of it.

"I like you...a lot more than I probably should. Its bigger than the nerd in the back of the classroom crushing on popular girl Sarah in the front with her long blonde hair and blue eyes. I can't understand why yet but I do and I've known this probably since the time you cut me off. Its different for me because being interested and liking a girl are two different things for me but you kinda took me by storm...really, it feels like someone smacked the shit out of me with a meat club and told me I'm gonna like a girl when I wake up."

His voice was low and husky, the same raspy tone that won Kagome over every time and now she was getting a love confession with it. She didn't know what to say but Inuyasha wasnt done.

"You can choose to or not to really like me back and you can even choose to stay or leave or even just be friends but I want that to be up to you. You don't even have to know what you wanna do but I know that one day, I'm going to throw a tantrum out a frustration, come to your room, fuck you with everything in me if you let me and ask you to be my girlfriend but I'd rather know now if any of this is even remotely what you want."

She was at a loss for words. She had been enjoying her time with Inuyasha and the closest conversation they had to this was the one where the two of them were in bed together talking about their feelings. Now here he was flat out putting everything on the table for her. She could only shake her head and say the first thing that came to mind.

"I don't know Inuyasha because after everything with Kouga...I just feel scared. I've never felt so vulnerable in my life before until then and it sucked. It sucked so bad and it still does to even think about it. You've shown me so many things in such little time and it makes me feel good inside. Even with the good and the bad going on. I guess it would be fair to be honest if honesty is what I want from others but...I don't want to tell you I like you because if I do, then I feel like I'm leaving myself open again."

He nodded. "Yeah, I get it Kagome...You're looking at a man that couldn't handle the results of his last breakup so he's been single for the past three years. I hurt someone really bad and someone caused the same hurt to you. I didn't want to hurt anyone and you don't want to be hurt again. Kagome...I would probably off myself if I ever hurt someone as bad as I did Shiori...I never talk about her for a reason but I know Shippo or someone has said something and you at least know her name...I would love for you to give me the chance I haven't been able to give myself for the past three years."

She looked up at him and into his eyes. They were almost glossy but she couldn't tell if he wanted to cry or if was from the sun shining into his face. He wasn't trying to have a quick conversation with her and he wasn't getting upset from her indecision but the fear still remained. Yet with the fear, there was also another feeling lingering in her. She didn't want Kouga to make her hate men, she didn't want to be scarred, and she didn't want Kouga to affect her relationship with anyone. She wanted to be careful but unless she was actually putting herself out there, then what was the point in being careful.

After a long drawn out silence, she finally answered him back. "Okay Inuyasha...I'll give you that chance and I'd love to see where this goes too...but if you hurt me, I can't promise I won't murder you before you get a chance to off yourself." She joked to lightened the mood.

Her words allowed him to breath normally again. He had no idea how she would respond and fortunately, it went well enough. He thanked the heavens before his mouth went into the toothy grin. He used his other hand to bring her to him, lightly kissing her this time.

"Thank you love." He said against her lips.

"No probl-ow! Hey!" She tried to say back but Inuyasha had let his hand out and smacked the side of her ass, hard. She smacked his shoulder, still giving him the kisses back he was asking for.

"Sorry, I've been wanting to do that all day. Your ass looks really good in this outfit."

She let out a sigh. 'Oh this guy. Whatever I got myself into...too bad I actually like it.'
