Hello everyone, I do apologize for this long awaited chapter. A lot has happened in my life and I thank everyone for bearing with me. Also, welcome to all of the new followers for this story. I hope Co-Ed has become a fave of yours. That being said, I found myself getting more into detail with this chapter so please let me know if the balance between dialogue and detail is fine for this chapter. Thank you all and enjoy
"Come on. I'm sure you'd do great." He insisted.
"No, I don't want to. Besides, I wouldn't even be able to keep up with most of girls there anyway." She argued back.
"How do you know that, hm?"
"Just because I know myself."
The ride back had started off quiet after Inuyasha put his feelings on the forefront for Kagome. Although she didn't turn his feelings down, she had no idea where to take the conversation from there. Inuyasha on the other hand decided it would be a good idea to suggest that she should join the dance team. Try outs were coming up and he thought it would be a good fit for her since she was no longer interested in ice skating.
"But think about it though, you'd have me, Shippo, and maybe Sango, if she sat several bleachers away from me, cheering for you."
"So? I can cheer for myself in the shower when I'm dancing to whatever song comes on from my phone."
"You're no fun I swear…but just think about it, please?"
"Whatever Inuyasha."
As Inuyasha turned his car into the parking lot, he pulled right into an open spot before following his normal routine of helping Kagome out of the car. Her heels were almost tall enough to bring them eye to eye but Inuyasha still stood as the taller of the two. Not that it mattered since Kagome was still having a hard time looking Inuyasha in the eyes. Even on the way upstairs, she could only stomach to look at her shoes or at the ceiling.
Once they were at his door, he reached into his pocket and pulled his key out. As his key entered the lock, he turned to her to speak.
"Hey, close your eyes for a second." He told her.
"Why?"
"Just do it, please? For me?" He pleaded with a sweet smile.
"O-okay." She said, closing her eyes and putting her hands over them.
She heard the door creak open before feeling Inuyasha's large hand grasp hers. Once he lightly tugged on her, she walked forward carefully trying not to trip in her heels. After taking a few more steps, she then heard the door close behind her and the sound of Inuyasha's foot steps come around in front of her.
"Okay, and….open your eyes." He said.
She did as she was told and the second her eyes opened, she was met with dozens of boxes of candy, cakes, sweets, and treats decorated all over the living room and kitchen. There was also a pile of clothes neatly pressed and folded all over one of the couches along with several pairs of womens' shoes on the floor. Kagome's hands flew over her mouth as she stood wide eyed in the same spot. She took a long look around the room before looking back at the hopeful half demon beside her.
"You did all of this for me?" She breathed out.
"Yeah well this was the backup plan if you didn't forgive me. I know it's a bit much but I figured I would've had more of a fighting chance with this stuff. If you still didn't like me after all of this. There is nothing I could have done-"
"Wait a minute, you can't just buy a girl back Inuyasha!" She turned on him, staring eye to eye with his chin.
He leaned down to place his face right in front of hers. "No one was trying to buy you sweetheart. I was just trying to get you to see that I'm not this piece of shit guy."
"Well, then how much did all of this cost then Inuyasha?" She asked, crossing her arms.
"Pft, it doesn't matter. Just know I spent the last of my allowance money on you."
She was getting ready to respond with another statement to prove him wrong until his words registered in her head. "Wait a minute...Allowance? I thought your brother gave you a card that you could use at anytime?"
He stretched back, scratching his neck in the process. "Well...about that. So because he has to pay for my rent here, he told me he is giving me an allowance from now on and using majority of it to pay for this place so I get whatever is left after he pays rent...I mean he wouldn't leave me stranded if I was struggling but he'd probably find a way to make shit a lot harder for me if I was hella irresponsible with the money."
"Wow...so technically you get an allowance of like...a couple thousands?"
"Eh, this place is really nice and utilities are included so I think it's about twenty-six hundred for the whole thing."
"What?! So how much is left over?"
"About two thousand at least. I don't really count it after I start spending. I have to pay for my car insurance and food and other shit with it though. All in all, most of this was probably only a grand by itself but I stocked up the cabinets and paid all of my bills first before I went completely broke."
"So-"
"No Kagome, most of the food stuff was ordered last minute so I would not have gone bullshit broke for you. I added it in last minute since I didn't know how you would feel considering most of the clothes were from our shopping trip."
She looked over and saw the skirt Inuyasha had her try on and slowly remembered what happened in the dressing room. She brushed it aside and gave him the tightest hug she could muster up. She had jumped on him so quickly that he hardly had time to react before she let go.
She slid out of her heels and instantly went down back to her original height. Lifting her ankle up in front of her, she rubbed around the area for a slight tension release so that she could happily skip over to the treats and delights Inuyasha bought for her.
Because of the abundance of snacks Inuyasha had brought, majority of them had to be put away but Kagome made sure to demolish the dozens of chocolate stawberries as well as the two pieces of the pineapple upside down cake. Not feeling as hungry, Inuyasha didn't touch too many of the treats unless Kagome made an effort to swirl a few around and inside of his mouth. With her offering him sweets and an opportunity to swirl his tongue seductively around her finger, he found the thought of it hard to pass up.
After she was done eating and teasing him, she made an offer for the two of them to finally watching the cartoons he loved the most. Inuyasha had an entire collection of all christmas cartoons that he would watch often. It was something he loved to watch in his free time no matter how much it annoyed anyone in his household that had to hear the same cartoons on repeat for hours. Both times he had tried to enjoy his favorite classics with Kagome, he was interrupted. This time, there was no one around to crash their party. This included the main source of their problems, Kouga.
Popping Rudolph into then CD player, he started the movie up. While Kagome found a comfortable position on the couch, Inuyasha went to fetch the two of them a blanket to snuggle under. Once he returned with a royal blue colored quilt, he rested his back on the couch while Kagome's head found its place on his chest. He fixed the blanket so that it would cover her body and a portion of his lower half. The two sat in silence for most of the movie, mostly enjoying the company of the other. As the scene appeared where the other reindeer would make fun of Rudolph, Inuyasha spoke up.
"I have always hated these reindeer with a passion. I could not have been Rudolph because he forgave everyone so easily like they wasn't talking shit just less than a few hours ago. There wouldn't have been a damn christmas if it was up to me because I would have said 'fuck you' to Santa Clause too since he didn't have shit to say to the other reindeer either about talking all that shit to me."
"Inuyasha, that's so petty. Just because those reindeer did you wrong doesn't mean the other kids in the world should have to suffer for it."
"Santa Clause should have thought about that before he allowed his bitch ass reindeer to talk to me any type of way. He has all those elves too. You mean to tell me he couldn't get none of them to make one damn flashlight? Look at all of those christmas lights too Kagome. Santa was being so selfish. He made Rudolph waste his time along a bunch on ain't gonna shit ass deer."
"Oh Inuyasha. Does this cartoon always make you feel this way."
"Yup. I proudly support Rudolph because I was him at one point in time...I just wasn't a little bitch. I was the skinny one everyone picked on and I used to swing and act like I was the biggest, fastest, strongest boy in school. I wasn't but shit, I refused to let anyone say whatever they wanted out of their mouths to me."
She giggled at his comments as she grabbed hold of his arm that had been resting on top of the couch and placed it around her waist. His body heat instantly meshed with hers and provided her a warm cozy feeling contrasting with the powerful A/C blowing into the room. Before she knew it, her eyes had closed and her breathing had steadied, leaving Inuyasha alone to finish the cartoons by himself.
"Look at this, he's really gonna help them after all that shit. Kagome, I just do not understand-" He had been talking and pointing to the TV thinking Kagome was listening but as soon as he moved his arm off of her waist, she groaned lightly. He finally checked on her to see she had been fast asleep. Having been so in tune with the TV, he hadn't noticed the girl had fallen asleep moments ago.
He turned the TV off and picked Kagome up bridal style while still managing to keep her wrapped up in the blanket. He took her inside his room and placed her on his bed so that he could go back and straighten up the living room. He had put away whatever remaining food he could find, and did away with her clothes by putting them all in her old room for whenever she was ready to swap out her wardrobe.
Happy with the living in it's current state, Inuyasha returned to his room where he stripped himself of his clothes and into some cozy plaid pajama bottoms. He picked up his large red brush went through his hair a few times before twirling and twisting his hair up into a large bun. His ears then twitched at the sound of Kagome moving around on the bed behind him. He shortly joined her under the blanket and her body naturally threw itself around him. Her arm swung over his torso as her head cozied itself into his chest and her leg of course swung over his. He smiled down at her softly before letting his eyes close and allowing his body to do the rest of the work carrying him into a small slumber.
After a few hours had gone by, Inuyasha's ears were invaded by the sound of something in the room buzzing.
*bzzzz...bzzzzzz...bzzzzzzzz*
His eyes cracked open, allowing the bare minimum amount of light to come through as he realized her had forgotten to turn the light off when he put Kagome to sleep. His head moved in slow motion, turning to the side of him and seeing his phone light up on the night stand. He grabbed it and was surprised to see Hojo was the one calling him. In his entire time of knowing Hojo, not once had the bartender ever made an attempt to call him. It was always a quick text. He quickly slid from under Kagome's grasp and out of the room.
"Hey, Hojo. Wassup." He spoke, his voice still groggy from the nap.
"Inuyasha my guy, how are you?" He spoke from the other end of the phone.
"I'd be better if I was still under the female in my bed but other than that, I'm great. Whatcha calling me for? You never call me." Inuyasha asked, jumping straight to the point.
"Well I'm throwing a huge party tonight. I finally got some time off from the bar so I'm living it up a little y'know? Anywho, I want you and ya lady to come or at least stop by. Have a few drinks, talk, dance, whatever ya want. It's gonna be one of the biggest parties before this year is up and I'd hate for you to miss it."
"Uhhh..." Inuyasha hesitated, glancing back at his closed bedroom door. "I don't know Hojo. I mean if it was just me, you know I'd come but as far as Kagome is concerned, eh. I don't know about that. She's sleep right now, I'd hate to wake her for something like this, and I honestly don't think she is the party type."
Ah, well if you can't come, it's fine. It is a last minute party and if you already had something going on, I really don't mind. I'll catch you later my friend because I had to run and do some last minute things for the party but if you change your mind, please let me know so I can send you the address."
"Will do Hojo. Thanks."
Inuyasha hung the phone up and went back into the room. He took a glance at Kagome for only a moment to see her relaxed, resting face now against the mattress where his body was minutes ago. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Inuyasha scrolled through his facebook to see what people had been posting only to realize he still had Miroku as a friend on facebook. He quickly did away with that and blocked him instantly. After seeing but so many posts, a few thoughts went in and out of his head before deciding to make a few posts of his own back to back.
'I don't think this single life is for me anymore guys. I'm ready to have a girlfriend already T_T Never thought I'd hear myself say that after all these yChapter 18ears. #SorryNotSorry'
Then after posting that, he went on to post another one.
'She's so cute in my bed yall ‿ yall just do not understand how adorable she is ( ω *)'
After he posted the two of them, quite a few of the women he had befriended on facebook began to comment.
"Well I can always be your girl..."
"Who is she? -_-"
"Is this supposed to be a late status about me?"
The list for comments began to go on and some of the girls even went as far to message Inuyasha directly. A girl named Sasha was the first to message him.
"Hey, so who are those statuses supposed to be about? You told me yourself you weren't ready for a relationship not too long ago and all of a sudden, you got a bitch? What the fuck yo."
Sasha had been a summer fling for Inuyasha. Someone he could drive to see and fuck when he wanted even if he only took advantage of it two times and only texted her at night when he was feeling extremely desperate. He hadn't told her directly what she was to him only because of her past of depression but since she had messaged him a bold text, he had no problem setting the record straight.
"For one, you aren't my girl now. You have no right to be questioning me. For two, I am allowed to wanna be in a relationship whenever I want to be. For three, you were literally a quick fuck. I did care about you enough to not want to tell you straight up like that. I tried to let you off easy and just cut you off that way you'd leave it alone but clearly you don't get it so I'm just telling you now. I did not care for you that strongly. I did not like you like that, no crush or nothing. Yes, the sex meant absolutely nothing to me. You hold great conversation though. Anything else to say before I go on this blocking spree? "
"Wow...it's really like that huh? After everything we talked about?"
"Yeah Sasha. It sure is. I'm sorry I was a fuckboy. You literally came at the end of it when I was over being like that. I was even over it when I was fucking you. I'm a changed man now and I really do hope you find someone who treats you right. For future reference though, if a boy ever tells you he doesn't know how he feels about you the way I told you, run for the hills. Boys know how they feel just like girls do. There is no got damn unsure shit about it. Boys are assholes and just want a quick fuck half the time. That being said, I wish you the best :)"
And then he blocked her. A lot more of his hoes had started to message them but most of them were blocked as soon as their message bubble popped up. As he continued on his blocking spree, Kagome began to toss and turn about behind him. Her hand wandered around the soft satin sheets feeling for his presence till the tip of her middle finger found its way to the waist band of his pants. She tugged lightly on them, moaning in discontent that he wasn't next to her anymore. The half demon turned around to look at her only to see her eyes were still lightly closed and her breathing was still steady. Once again, her subconscious was crying out for him.
Inuyasha began to give Hojo's request some thought and this is where a question crossed him mind. Would Kagome want to come to the party tonight with him if he went? He wasn't entirely too sure but didn't want to put any pressure on her nor did he want to disturb her well deserved slumber. He put his phone to sleep and tossed it somewhere on the bed. He stood to his feet and left out, making his way into the bathroom. Normally when he needed some time to think things over, a quick shower was all he needed to get his thoughts together.
As soon as the bathroom door shut, Kagome's eyes started to flutter open. Once again, Inuyasha had left the lights on so her eyes had to take a little while to adjust to the large source of light emitting from the ceiling. The feeling of something buzzing against her feet turned her attention towards the end of the bed. It wasn't her phone so she automatically assumed the smart phone had been Inuyasha's. She reached down to grab the glowing object only to see a random number texting him. His phone at this point did not seem to have a passcode.
'Hmm. That's weird. I could have sworn he had one on here...maybe he took it off.' She thought to herself only to then realize the reality of the situation.
'Wait...I shouldn't be going through his phone. He isn't my boyfriend...But I mean, he already told me he liked me. If he's playing me, then I have a right to know.'
She swiped the phone unlocked and went through the countless number of texts that the unknown number had sent him. Her chest felt tighter as the seconds went by and each text revealed more about the situation.
"I feel so humiliated by you. I really loved you. You knew that. After all of this time, why didn't you just tell me? I was fucking suicidal and depressed and you helped me through all of that just to fucking dump me? You are the lowest of the low Inuyasha and I hope you fucking rot you pathetic ass excuse of a man!"
"Yeah, you told me don't catch feelings but I did, and you knew I did and you still chose to text me and call me and all that other shit, you really fucking played around with me and now you just expect it to be okay because you found some new bitch? No! Shit doesn't work like that!"
"I knew from the day I met you, I should've just let it go. That one night stand should have just been that but nope. I just had to take it further and text you but you texted me back! You could've just ignored me! Why didn't you just ignore me? Instead you string me along, and you tell me you're this nice guy that is always upfront and shit and I wanna know why didn't I get that treatment? You just cut me off like I did something wrong!"
"Fuck you Inuyasha and your piece of shit mother too since she looked me in my face the day I showed up and told me you weren't home when I knew you were upstairs! I should fucking kill myself right now then if that would make you happy! I should just end it all since no one cares about me! It'll be all your fault Inuyasha that I'm dead and I hope you sit on it every night and cry till you choke!"
The texts spun themselves in a dark circle and they continued to get darker as each text was worse than the last. Kagome turned the phone away in guilt as she pieced together what was going on from the little she read. She didn't see any texts from Inuyasha prior to all of the messages received but she doubted all of that came out of no where.
'Should I say something to him about it?...' She contemplated to herself. Unbeknownst to her, Inuyasha himself was in a similar mindset.
In the bathroom, the warm water pelted against Inuyasha's stern chest as his skin relaxed under the hotter temperature. His hair was lightly damp from the steam that engulfed the entire room within minutes. He turned up towards the ceiling as his mind raced through all of the events that happened in the past few weeks.
'Kagome has been to one house party since she has been here. Her only boyfriend that has been cheating on her for the past year was at the party and not only hunted her down but then tried to rape her. She has been dealing with getting over Kouga as normal people would get over breakups but she hasn't really brought him up or talked about anything from that night. For all I know, she could have blacked the memory out completely and just wants to stay away from parties...Maybe I'm just overthinking everything and she's actually okay with me just asking her if she wants to come to a party...I just really don't wanna fuck anything up.'
As he thought through everything in his mind, he heard the bathroom door creak open.
"Kagome?" He called out to her, even though his nose and ears already alerted him well enough that is was indeed her presence in the bathroom.
"You were in here for quite some time, thought I'd come check on you." She responded back.
"Oh okay, how long was I in here? It doesn't feel like it's been that long."
"About half an hour." She said.
Inuyasha then took a glance at his fingers and saw that the tips were already starting to prune up. "Oh shit, I didn't even realize I was in here for so long. I had washed up a long time ago but I was just kinda chilling in here since I didn't wanna wake you up."
"It's fine, um...There's this weird number blowing up your phone and whoever it is, they're saying some really...weird stuff." She twisting pitches in her voice displayed how uncomfortable she was talking. Why she felt that way is what had Inuyasha curious.
He twisted the knobs to turn the water off before grabbing his towel from the top of the glass door to wrap around himself. He opened the foggy door to see Kagome in one of his t-shirts holding his phone in her hand. The sight made him burst with happiness on the inside but he made sure to keep his outward emotions under control.
"I see someone found my clothes." He spoke with amusement in his voice.
She looked down at herself. Inuyasha worked out on a regular so his clothes were naturally more fitted and would have fit Kagome a lot tighter but he had a few loose shirts lying around for whenever he needed them. He assumed his small stash of loose shirts was where she got the clothing from.
"Yeah well it wasn't easy to find and I just wanted something to weird because my romper was riding up my ass."
"That would've been a sight for me to see." He joked.
"Oh hush. Anyway, here. Take a look." She said, handing him his phone.
Inuyasha stepped out of the shower and grabbed his phone from her. As soon as he saw the number, he immediately recognized it. He even assumed the worst which is what Kagome read through everything so he couldn't play the texts off as they were nothing.
"Eh well. There was this girl over the summer. We fucked a few times, she got attached but she was depressed and suicidal so I tried to be very careful about how I talked to her. I felt like I couldn't talk to her like I did the other girls and now here I am fucked as ever because she won't leave me be."
Kagome leaned back on her hip, folding her arms in front of her. "Well, clearly you had to do something to make her go that crazy."
"Kagome, I would normally send this girl one words texts most of the time. If we wasn't on the phone, then it was rare that she would get long texts back from me. I was just lonely some nights and the affection was nice. I told her how I felt in an extreme sugar coated way and she kinda just didn't take me all the way seriously because of how I worded everything but I swear I did not do that much for her to love me the way she says she does. I knew this girl for one month and I only saw her three times out of the whole thing."
She cocked her head to the side. "Well, you've only known me for almost a month and here you are all crushing on me."
"Kagome, you are way different. I literally met this girl over a one night stand. You weren't some quick fuck and I'm honestly starting to think I shouldn't have went down on you because ever since then, I've been stuck on you like a puppy to it's first owner. I don't know what type of golden fountain of youth you got going on down there girl."
Her eyes widened at his upfront joke which was met with a slap to his shoulder. "Hey! Don't say things like that!"
"I was giving you a compliment my dear but anyway, yeah. At this point she is just some crazy bitch that had to be blocked on facebook because she doesn't want me to love someone else all because I told her I wasn't ready for a relationship...which I wasn't and I am now and it's none of her fucking business and she needs to stay in the month of June where I met her ass or the month of July when I cut her off. "
She looked up at his with unfocused eyes as if she was trying to judge whether or not to believe him. Inuyasha could sense this, so he reached down and grabbed her hands in his.
"I know what you're thinking. No you're not going to be that girl Kagome. You were not some quick fuck and I wouldn't be here doing all of this shit for you if you were. I do not spend more than fifty bucks on my hoes if I even allow myself to spend money on them. I like you so stop doubting me and let me like you dammit." He ended his small speech with a kiss to her lips which although she left her eyes opened, she returned the kiss back just as sweet. She even let him hold her hand all the way back to the bedroom.
Kagome internally still felt uneasy about what Inuyasha's true intentions were; nonetheless, she decided to shake the feeling. This did not stop her from voicing any other concerns she had.
"You seem to be quite popular with the girls around here." She said.
Inuyasha had been going through his closet trying to find something for the party he had yet to invite Kagome to. "Yeah but it's my fault honestly. I had a bad habit of not being able to turn girls down when they're down to fuck. I don't normally chase girls, they chase me and I let them and shit always goes downhill from there." He said from his closet.
Kagome plopped herself down on the bed, resting one leg under the other. "Well you did try to get at me when you met me remember?"
After she asked her question, there was a small area of silence between them before Inuyasha responded. "Oh shit I did didn't I? Oh fuck Kagome, I'm sorry. I really cannot tell when I'm flirting or not these days. That's why I just don't talk to women anymore. I keep getting myself caught up."
"Oh really? Note taken then. I'll remember that."
Realizing what she said, he poked his head out of the closet. "Wait...Kagome don't take it that way. I will learn to control myself. I just don't wanna slip up and say something to someone and make you mad all over again."
She giggled at his comment. "Wow, so I'm the jealous type now?"
"I don't fucking know but I don't think you have to be the jealous type to be mad that your bae or whatever is flirting with another girl. "
"So you're bae now?" She joked.
Inuyasha came out of the closet in a paid of acid washed jeans and no shirt. He stood over her, leaning down extra close to be face to face with her but his playful intimidation didn't wipe the smile off of her face. "Oh my gosh Kagome. I don't care if I'm bae or not. You know damn well you'd be mad if you saw me flirting with another girl. Front from Shippo, Sango, or anyone else but you can't front like this in front of me."
She stretched her head up as far she could to get within nose's reach with him, her cocky smirk still prevalent. "No one is putting up a front. I don't get jealous. Especially over someone that isn't mine."
He hissed in a sharp breath of air to keep himself from responding with the dirtiest, NC-17 rated comment. He grabbed hold of her chin, keeping her face to face with him.
"Don't play with me Kagome. I know where I belong and I can tell you I am most definitely the jealous type. You may not feel the same but I've already decided that I am yours and you are mine so I could care less whether you treat me like I'm yours. I need you to understand though that I will be treating you like you're mine every single day so I advise you to tell these dudes out here to back the fuck off before we have a problem."
He brought his face to hers, giving her one of the most aggressive kisses she has ever had. His lips molded against hers as hard as gentle could get. She had fell submissive to him, allowing him to do whatever he wanted to her mouth. She had become so engrossed in their small makeout session that she didn't expect the smack to the ass to feel so brutal. The clap sound erupted as his landed on her exposed skin, causing a small shriek to emit from her in the middle of their kisses but Inuyasha wouldn't let her stop. Instead, he grabbed her wrists to stop her protests and slowly laid her back on the bed as he straddled over her keeping his tongue inside her. As she then fell back into his demonstrations, his phone began to vibrate consistently.
He let out a groan of discontent, snatching the phone from the bed only to see Sesshomaru's name pop up on the caller ID. He slid over the answer button before putting the phone on speaker. He then grabbed Kagome, and made her straddle his lap as he sat upright on the bed with his free hand comfortably resting on the side of her butt.
"Sesshomaru, I'm in the middle of something. What do you want?" He blurted out.
"I can never call you late at night without you having some whore in your bed." Sesshomaru responded back just as quickly.
Inuyasha's ears flinched at Sesshomaru's words considering he had his own crush sitting on his lap as they spoke. "Hey, chill with that. I'm with the girl I told you about." Inuyasha thought nipping Sesshomaru's comment in the bud would help by easing Kagome's mind on any doubts she could've had about him. He thought wrong.
"Oh my. The same woman you called me crying about because you liked her so much and she was oh so very mad at you-"
"Sesshomaru! What the fuck-Excuse me Kagome." He picked her up with one arm and rested her back on the bed so that he could walk out and have some privacy on the phone but Sesshomaru wouldn't let up.
"I'm on speaker too? Fun times eh? He loves you very much whoever you are. I have never seen my brother talk my head about about as much as he does you. I can never have a quick phone call because he always has to tell me about you and he is just so happy now and sprung with cupid's bow in his ass and it's a marvelous sight to see I must tell you-" Sesshomaru babbled on for as long and as fast as he could before Inuyasha turned the speaker off.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and mouthed the words "Don't listen to him" to her. She sat there with a stuck cheeky smile on her face. She had been smiling so hard that she couldn't get any words out so she just waved him off as he went over into his closet to talk to Sesshomaru.
"You're not on speaker anymore. What do you want?" Inuyasha asked again.
"Nothing. Just to tell you that I'll be in town tomorrow to speak with someone and I was going to stop by to see you. Knowing that girl is there makes this all the more interesting. You should bring her."
"No! I don't know what you're thinking and you're always trying to embarrass me so no, I will not bring her." Inuyasha retorted.
"Tsk, don't be that way Inuyasha. Besides, it's either we agree to meet somewhere or I use the spare key I have to your place to pop up whenever I please and hope you two aren't in the middle of something again. Your choice dear brother."
Inuyasha's signature eye roll was on cue as he shook his head in disbelief. He was being blackmailed by his own brother in the most calmest of ways. Wanting to get the conversation over with, he decided to let Sesshomaru have his way for once.
"Fine Sesshomaru. We'll see you tomorrow but only if you pay for everything."
"I always do, don't I? Anywho, enjoy your late night vagina and I'll see you tomorrow."
"It's not even like that yet Sesshomaru-"
"Oh you don't have to convince me Inuyasha. I'm just your older brother that knows you better than anyone. Have a good night."
Before Inuyasha could say anything else, Sesshomaru hung up. Although him and Sesshomaru didn't fight very often, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha knew very much so how to pluck the other's nerves and get under their skin. If there was one thing Inuyasha didn't like, it was when Sesshmaru invades his personal life without permission. Sesshomaru had grown so accustomed to taking care of Inuyasha that the line of privacy disappeared years ago and Inuyasha still had trouble getting Sesshomaru to respect it. He could only hope that Sesshomaru doesn't scare Kagome off.
He left out of the closet to see Kagome on her phone texting. "Hey Kagome, Hojo is throwing a party tonight. Did you want to go?" He went on ahead and asked, not wanting to hold off the question any longer.
She looked up at him with confusion written all over her face. "A party? Like a house party?" She asked.
Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, Hojo is the guy from the bar remember? You don't have to go if you don't want to. He just told me to ask you."
She gave the offer a quick moment of thought. Her first house party experience hadn't gone too well but she had been around Sango at the time. Inuyasha had been the one to come to her rescue so she then began to think that the idea of going with Inuyasha himself wouldn't be so bad.
"I mean, I guess so...we won't be there all night will we?"
He shook his head. "No, not if you don't want to. I was only gonna go if you came with me so if we do go, whenever you're ready to bounce, we can just head back here or I can take you home."
She put her hand to her head, scratching behind her ear. "Oh yeah, that's right. I don't live here anymore."
"Did you forget my dear? You moved out a whole week ago."
"Yeah I know but I guess I got so used to being around you that...nevermind. Forget I said anything. We can go to this party of whatever. Let's just not stay too long. Can I invite Shippo?"
"I don't see why not."
Kagome sent a text to her friend before getting up to get ready. Once her and Inuyasha were dressed, the two made their way on over to the party.
Naraku brushed his hair back into a messy ponytail with a few loose strands out in the front. Once he was satisfied with his edgy look, he went to work on outlining his eyes in a thick coat of his blackest eyeliner. For an even better effect, he dusted over his eyelids with a hint of red eyeshadow, blending till he was satisfied with the transition. He had already been dressed in his favorite outfit and his makeup was the last objective he needed to accomplish before he could leave.
Exiting the bathroom, he walked into the dining room to see Kouga on his phone. As soon as he took notice to naraku's presence, he jumped up and sat the phone down on the counter.
"Fuck are you walking around here spying on people for?!" Kouga spatted.
Naraku looked at Kouga in confusion before he strutted his way over to the living room window. He pulled down one of the blinds to take a peek out before he turned around and looked under the the couch cushions. After he placed the pillows back down, he shrugged his shoulders harshly before giving Kouga a sympathetic look with his regular monotone voice.
"I am so sorry Kouga but unfortunately, I could not find the person you were talking to like that but if I find them, I will definitely tell them to give you a call." Naraku offered.
His comment didn't sit too well with the wolf demon because as soon as Naraku finished talking, Kouga jumped in Naraku's face. "You wanna run that smart ass shit by me again?" He growled.
Naraku perched his neck back and put his hand between his and Kouga's faces. "Sir, your breath is hot like the sun outside so I will need for you to give me five feet. I don't do people in my face. That big ass bruise on your eye anyway. You better stop before I call Inuyasha on you."
"I'll back up when I wanna back up and you or that dog piece of shit ain't gonna do shit so stop acting tough!" Kouga barked back.
Naraku only wanted to leave so that he could attend a party but Kouga was making it incredibly difficult for him. "Kouga, you're making my hand itch. I don't say please but I'm telling you to please back up off of me. I could care less for what you have to say. Just back up. Please." Naraku tried to bargain with him but just as stubborn as majority of the males that resided in their dorm, Kouga the wolf demon with the mind of an ox would not back down.
"And I said no you faggot so what the fuck are you gonna do-AHHH!" Kouga raged, his hands flew to his eyes in pain as the burning mist invaded his pupils.
Not paying attention to Naraku's hand gave the smaller framed man the advantage in using the mace on his keychain directly into Kouga's eyes. His back crashed against the counter as he tried to search for the sink with his hands, still screaming in agony.
"Yeah, how about that? Keep screaming you whore because Miroku left out a few minutes ago so he wouldn't be able to save you from a beat down. Be glad that the mace hit you and not my fists. With that being said, have a good night with your crack fiends bitch and stay the hell out of my face next time I tell you to." Naraku slammed the door behind him, not bothering to lock it back. When he had arrived to the lobby, Miroku had walked through the front door with a few grocery bags in hand.
"Why didn't you ask Kouga to come down and help you carry some of that stuff up Miroku?" Naraku asked.
"I'm fine. I can handle this stuff myself. I left my phone home anyways so it wouldn't even matter." He panted out, trying to keep grip on the several bags he had in each hand.
"Well I'd offer to help but I'm already running fashionably late as it is for the party so I must be on my way."
Naraku waved to Miroku as he walked out just in time to see his Uber driver pull up. He slid into the backseat and waited out the rest of his ride.
The music had been so loud from the several speakers the DJ brought with him, that the sound could be heard and felt from inside Inuyasha's car down the street as they approached Hojo's residence. When Inuyasha was waiting for Kagome to get ready, he shot Hojo a text for the address and didn't mind asking how was he able to score the house. Hojo gladly told him that his dad told him that his life has been boring so far so he took his mom out for the weekend so that Hojo could throw a party. Inuyasha could only wish that his mom would be that gullible.
Inuyasha helped Kagome out of the car, making sure the heel of her stiletto heels didn't fall through any of the cracks on the street. Before she had a chance to, Inuyasha's hands flew to her white mini skirt, pulling it down as low as it could go.
"Hey! I could've done it myself." She protested but Inuyasha only ignored her.
He grabbed her hand, and kept her close to him as they approached the huge crowd of people surrounding the house. Kagome peeked around, taking in her surroundings. Most of the people were either standing idly by, drinking, or doing some crazy dance with their friends. When Kagome had been getting dressed, she thought the mini skirt along with the pink glitter long sleeved crop top had been a bit much. After seeing the way most of the women were dressed, Kagome felt that she was the most clothed one.
Just as the two approached the stairs, Kagome's name had been shouted from across he crowd of people. She recognized the voice, and turned instantly to greet her best friend. She was expecting him to be with Bankotsu, which he was, but she wasn't expecting to see Naraku slowly trailing behind him.
"BITCH!" Shippo greeted her excitedly, jumping up and down until he was close enough to hug her.
"You look so cute! I am feeling this look, and you got the crinkles in your hair on fleek. Who are you trying to impress?" He asked, jokingly.
"No one. She's trying to impress no one but herself and I think she did a good job." Inuyasha chimed in with his two sense.
Shippo put his hand over his chest, taken slightly aback from Inuyasha's comment but in the most amused way possible. "Hello to you too Inuyasha. I didn't know you were speaking for Kagome now."
"He's not " Kagome finally piped up, putting the attention back on her. "Thank you for your input though Inuyasha. It was not asked for. I can speak for myself. Besides, its a bunch of cute guys here anyway. What if I wanted to impress them tonight?" She tried to play it off as she was uninterested in the half demon at all but he caught on to her little game in a matter of seconds. He on the other hand wasn't in the mood to entertain it.
He leaned down to whisper in her ear. "If you really felt that way, you wouldn't have came down here with me tonight after you were just in my bed moments ago. Cut it before I drag you off into the backseat of my car my dear."
She was trying to see how far she could push him and judging by his calm tone, she could tell he was already in the mood again. When he pulled away, she kept a smirk on her face before looking back to where Shippo was. Naraku had been pointing off into the distance somewhere and Shippo seemed to be shaking his head in disapproval.
Naraku turned and approached Kagome and Inuyasha. He gave a quick wave to Inuyasha but his eyes had been focused on Kagome.
"How have you been Kagome?" He asked.
"Uh…I've been okay. I guess…" She wasn't too sure what Naraku's true intentions were.
"That's good. I just wanted to take this time to apologize for everything that happened. I may be an asshole but I know when I'm wrong. I don't know you and you don't know me. It's stupid to have any bad blood over some bitch nor you or I don't even like."
"Wait," Inuyasha cut in once again. "You and Kouga aren't cool? Like permanently?"
Naraku nodded. "Yup. Fuck 'em. I'm tired of that bitch."
Inuyasha snickered hysterically. "Really now? I tried to tell you guys-"
He put his hand up, signaling Inuyasha to stop talking. "That's fine Inuyasha but I didn't ask. I just came to tell Kagome sorry. That's all. Now if you will excuse me, I need to get drunk. Hope we can share a dance together later on tonight Kagome." Naraku cooed to her before strutting off into the house.
"If there was one thing I did not miss about Naraku, it's that damn mouth of his." Inuyasha mumbled.
Kagome stood there looking absently into the direction Naraku walked off to. "Wow, wasn't expecting that but...I mean I have no issue with the guy. I'm glad he apologized.
"Naraku's not a bad guy Kagome. He just hates drama and anything surrounding it so he tries to avoid it at all costs... He does a bad job at it but nonetheless, he still tries to stay away from it." Inuyasha told her.
"Hey guys! Wassup!" Tipsy Bankotsu cheered at them, throwing his hands in the air.
Shippo smacked him in the back of his head. "Stop embarrassing me before I sit you down on the couch." He scolded him.
"Sorry about him you guys. He wanted to get pre-party drunk at our place for whatever reason. Don't mind him though. He's a fun drunk."
In the middle of Shippo talking, the DJ had then changed the song to Starboy by the Weeknd and Shippo began to freak out.
Ah! This is my song right here!" He shrieked, smacking his hands on his knees and lightly twerking to the beat. He motioned for Kagome to dance with him but she shook her head and took a step back so that she could be behind Inuyasha.
"Girl if you don't loosen up! We are at a party!" He tried to put even more pressure on her but she still stood her ground.
The song continued on, and Inuyasha was getting a kick out of watching Shippo dance on Kagome in attempt to get her to dance back but Kagome started to look like your average parent at a cookout that acts surprised to see the younger adults dance the way Shippo was dancing. When the DJ switched the song over, Shippo turned on her and gave her an incredibly stern look.
"Can you dance Kagome?" He asked her, putting her on the spot.
When she began stuttering, it was enough for Shippo to come to the conclusion that she wasn't dancing because she couldn't dance. He clapped his hands together, pointing them at Inuyasha.
"Okay so this is gonna be a while. She's not gonna embarrass me inside of the party so I'm gonna stay out here and teach her how to dance until she gets it right. You better off going inside and enjoying yourself because I don't know how fast she learns."
Inuyasha didn't have any protests for it. He stepped away with his hands up. "I'll be inside with Hojo Kagome. Just come see me when you're ready and don't let anyone make any drinks for you." He instructed her. After that, he too disappeared into the house.
A few non mainstream rap songs had played but the beats had been fast enough for Shippo to work with. He had Kagome show him what she could do; he let out a sigh of relief that she at least had rhythm. From there, he started off by showing Kagome the most basic form of twerking which was twisting your waist back and forth to create a motion in your back area. As she followed his motions, she added her own body rolls in which made Shippo squeal in excitement.
Next, he showed her how to arch her back while dancing. He didn't mind that she didn't know how to isolate her waist yet while dancing because it's something that would come naturally whenever she gets comfortable with dancing. When the snare drums began to clap consistently, Kagome arched back and forth to the beat.
"There you go! I told you it wasn't hard- bitch you arching too hard. Relax." He scoffed at her.
"Sorry." She said.
After a few more songs had past, Shippo thought Kagome could dance decent enough not to be the laugh of the party posted over everyone's facebook, instagram, and twitter the next day. If there was one thing college students knew how to do was post everything on social media without regarding a person's personal feelings about it.
"Shippo, are you sure I was doing it right? I feel like I looked stupid." She asked, concerned.
"Uh..." Shippo started to look around. "Where the fuck did that bitch Bankotsu go...Come on Kagome." He grabbed her, ignoring her question.
Just before they could go into the house, a huge truck swerved in front of the yard, blasting music almost as loud as the DJ. Both Kagome and Shippo turned their attention to the white vehicle with bright blue lights. When the woman in the passenger seat stepped out, the two college students mentally slapped their forehead in automatic irritation when they realized who it was. Not wanting to deal with her, Shippo continued to drag Kagome inside.
There had been dozens of people crowding around the foyer which made Shippo all the more rude as he shoved people out of his way if they didn't understand him when he excused himself. All of the lights in the house had been dim and replaced with tons of strobe lights, and disco lights. This made navigating a little more difficult for Kagome's eyes but luckily Shippo's demon eyes had no problem adjusting in dark situations. He quickly found the table everyone had been getting drinks from. After a quick sniff of the punch bowl, he deemed it drug-free before getting Kagome a drink. He handed her the red solo cup that had only been filled about one-fourth of the way as he leaned down to talk into her ear.
"Keep this drink in your eyesight at all times or keep your hand over it when you're not drinking it. If you even for a second look away from it, just ask me to get you another one. Don't take any drinks from anybody up in here because if somebody tries some date-rape shit on you, imma have a problem and I will catch a murder charge tonight. " He told her. She quickly nodded in response and Shippo gave her a thumbs up before pouring himself a drink as well.
The two tapped their cups together before downing the small amount of liquor down their throats. Shippo took the burning sensation well while Kagome on the other hand fanned at her open mouth with her tongue dangling out.
"Is it supposed to be this bitter?" She asked.
"Yeah, it doesn't have any chaser in it. It taste like vodka so you might be feeling a little oopsy daisy in a second. Let's go find Naraku." He shouted over top of the music.
"Why?"
"Because that bitch knows how to party. Plus he always attracts the most lit people at the parties." He poured more alcohol into their cups before walking off.
Putting her hand over top of her cup, she followed behind Shippo navigating her way through the stiff crowd before finding themselves in the dance area near the DJ booth. Shippo stretched his neck up and saw Naraku in the middle dancing with a few girls. He waved for Kagome to follow as the amount of people dancing had been harder to get through than the drunkards talking everywhere. Just as Shippo approached Naraku, a few men moved over, wanting to dance with Naraku as well. The energy in the dance group gave Shippo ecstatic vibes as he went to work dancing alongside Naraku.
Kagome, with her drink in her hand, stood amongst an overly hype crowd of people dancing as she instantaneously became the odd one out. Shippo had made her feel a little bit more comfortable with dancing but not to the point where she felt okay in front of a crowd of people to music she had never heard before. The feeling was new to her and she found herself wanting Inuyasha's presence back. No matter where he took her, being near him made her always feel like she belonged. She knew Shippo wanted her to have fun and let loose but she didn't expect everything to be thrown at her so quickly.
She two-stepped from side to side from the beat, merely taking in the scene around her but more so her friend and company in front of her. Shippo and Naraku linked up and although the two weren't close in the slightest, their energy brought all the men and women to them. They were dancing in sync without even talking about it, everyone was laughing, smiling, and having the time of their lives. An empty feeling began to build inside of her, practically begging her to get away from the situation as soon as possible but her feet weren't in agreement with her.
She decided to down the rest of her drink so that she could throw the cup wherever because it was doing her no good being slightly pushed around by dancing bodies and letting the drink splash everywhere. Only this time, the drink made her take a step back. Her nerves began to feel lightly tingly and her mind began to get major tunnel vision. She could only assume she was a little tipsy from the drink but she didn't expect the feeling to hit her all at once. Suddenly, a familiar beat came on and vibrated through her body. She could hear the cheers in the room get extra loud as everyone began jumping up and down.
At this point, she was in the mood where she didn't care if she had to dance alone or with friends. This had to be one of her favorite songs from the summer and she wasn't going to let a light damper in her mood ruin her night. She began mouthing the words as they played, letting the beat over take her hips and her back.
'Said lil bitch, you can't fuck with me if you wanted to, these expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes...'
The song Bodak Yellow by Cardi B had become a sole favorites for a lot of people including Kagome and by the looks of it, Naraku and Shippo had been lovers of the song as well. As the chorus was about to end, Shippo and Naraku bopped on over to Kagome, moving along to the beat. In unison, the three of them started screaming the song from the tops of their lungs with everyone else.
'Now she say she gon' do what to who? Let's find out an see. Cardi b, you know where I'm at, you know where I be. You in the club just to party, I'm there, I get paid a fee. I be in and out them banks so much, I know they tired of me.'
Naraku and Shippo turned to each pointing their fingers in the air. "HONESTLY don't give a FUCK bout who ain't FOND OF ME!"
Then they turned to Kagome to take over the next line which she did along her most bougie hair flips. "Dropped two mixtapes in six months, what BITCH WORKING AS HARD AS ME?!"
'I don't bother with these hoes, don't let these hoes bother me, they see pictures, they say goals, bitch I'm who they tryna be!'
Then all of a sudden, Kagome felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see none other than Kikyo herself staring her dead in her face. Naraku and Shippo saw her too and almost instantly thought that something was about to go down but Kagome had other plans. Instead, not skipping a beat, she began rapping in Kikyo's face with Narkau and Shippo joining in as her instigating, twerking backup dancers.
"Look, I might just chill in some BAPE, I might just chill with your boo, I might just feel on your babe, my pussy feel like a lake
He wanna swim with his face, I'm like, 'Okay!'"
"Tell her Kagome! Tell her you just took her man!" Shippo screamed hyping her up as she clapped in Kikyo's face.
Kagome even turned her back and started twerking with her hands on her knees before dropping to a full split, bouncing up and down on the floor. This caught the attention of multiple people around her and in a matter of seconds, everyone had been cheering on Kagome who was still going on, going off in Kikyo's face.
Naraku hadn't seen this side of Kagome before nor had he been expecting it but he was loving it more than anything. There was almost nothing he loved more than being around people who knew how to have fun. He howled in the air, creating more hype for Kagome "Yas bitch! Fuck that floor up! Let that bitch know you are not the one!"
"I'll let him get what he want, he buy me Yves Saint Laurent. And the new whip, when I go fast as a horse, I got the trunk in the front." She recited the words loud enough for kikyo to hear and mouthed them extra carefully for people to read.
The chorus soon came back in, and this is where Kagome flipped her hair, whiplashing Kikyo in the face with it. Strangely enough, this is where the DJ switched the song up, and everyone erupted into cheers for the woman they didn't know. Kikyo's face had been scrunched up in anger before she snapped her fingers and made her groupies follow her out of the dance circle. Although Kagome found it strange that Kikyo hadn't said anything to her, she was feeling too loose to care and too happy about her new found place in the crowd.
A few more songs went by, and from the outside looking in, anyone would have assume that Shippo, Naraku, and Kagome were the best of friends the way they all danced and shook their butts on each other. When the DJ started to play music that the three of them hadn't heard before, Naraku suggested that they all go find a place to sit down for a moment. They two agreed, following Naraku out of the circle.
The inside of the house had been louder than the outside so the three of them went out to the backyard and sat in a few out of the lawnchairs by the pool. Naraku and Shippo had refilled their cups but Kagome was sure she didn't want anything else to drink for the rest of the night.
"Miss Kagome, I had no idea you were a bomb ass stripper in your past life becuase you were murdering that floor. You should be charged for manslaughter because I don't even think you knew you was about to kill that floor the way you did." Naraku praised her.
Shippo looked at him with wide eyes. "Naraku, you would not believe me if I told you I had to teach Kagome how to dance before we came in here. She had rhythm but that was about it."
The black haired male only shook his head. "No, you only helped her gain confidence because Shippo, there is no way she learned that shit overnight. She always had that in her. It just took a bitch that had her fucked up to bring it out of her and I was all the way here for it. I'm always here for making a hating bitch look stupid."
Kagome couldn't explain it, but Naraku's words made her feel a little better by herself. Since the breakup with Kouga, Kagome had been struggling with figuring out who she was as a person and only moments ago, she did what felt best to her and it hadn't gone unnoticed by other people. The emotions she felt didn't have to be validated by other but the appreciation nonetheless felt nice to her.
"I am with you on that one. My best bitch had that whore shook." Shippo boasted.
Naraku put his cup down after another sip before crossing one leg over the other. "What was her issue with you anyway Kagome? I know her and Kouga have a past or whatever but what does that have to do with you? You guys aren't...together anymore or at least to my knowledge, you guys aren't."
She pushed herself back into her chair, staring into her lap. "Well, honestly I'd love to tell you but I don't even know. Surprisingly enough. The issue I know that she has, it has absolutely nothing to do with Kouga."
"Then who?" Naraku asked, furrowing his eyebrows together, even more confused now.
"Inuyasha but according to Inuyasha, the two of them were never dating or anything like that and he hardly gave her the time of day which is why she went to Kouga-"
"I can confirm that is true." Naraku interjected.
Continuing on, Kagome finished. "Yeah, so basically she has this super huge crush and she thinks Inuyasha is her man and she doesn't want anyone on him but honestly, I don't care how she feels. I don't know her, she doesn't know me and she is trying to fight me over a man that isn't neither hers or mine! That's so stupid!"
Shippo rolled his eyes at her. "Shut the fuck up girl, that is yo man now because we said so. Now when Kikyo get that close to your face, tell her we said it and if she has a problem, she can come see us."
Naraku put his index finger up. "Don't speak for me now...but I do agree. If she has an issue, we have no problem solving issues over here. I know that girl and she is nasty, a bully, and slut. I can call her a slut because I'm a hoe so I know what a hoe looks like. Difference is, I'm a classy hoe, she is a nasty hoe."
"Y'all both hoes still so you can't judge her for being a hoe Naraku." Shippo told him.
"Oh well. I'm judging her. She don't use condoms and she let anybody and anyone inside her. I don't play that shit. If we fucking and I don't see a condom pulled out, I'm walking the fuck out. Period point blank. It's too many things going around out here. Demons can catch STD's that are fatal if transferred over to a human and she don't care like it's so nasty."
Kagome spoke up. "I could care less what she does with her body. I just wish she would stop trying to fight me over Inuyasha. I would never fight another girl over a man. If he is giving her his time of day, she can have him but if he doesn't want you, then why would I fight you because he wants me. She even tried to show me a fake screenshot of texts between her and Inuyasha."
Naraku paused momentarily, looking at her with a blank facial expression. "How the fuck did she get your number?"
"I..uh. I don't even know." Kagome hadn't given it much thought as to how Kikyo had gotten her number. She had been so upset with Inuyasha, that she didn't think twice about Kikyo having her number.
"Naraku put his drink down and stood up. "Get up. We are going to find her."
"Naraku, for someone that hates drama, why are you always starting shit?" Shippo asked, standing up as well.
Naraku didn't pay Shippo any mind. He turned around, trying to peek inside to see if he could see her. "I didn't start this. She has this girl's phone number and she shouldn't so we need to know who is out here handing out Kagome's phone number like halloween candy because that is very unsafe. A lot of information can be tracked to a phone number and Kikyo already don't like Kagome. What if she tries to send harm her way? I don't like bullies and that's what she is. I've just been waiting on a reason to say some shit to her."
Kagome stayed in her seat. She just wanted to enjoy the party, not get involved with senseless drama. "Naraku, it's fine. Really it is. It's not that serious-"
"Kagome, Naraku has a point. The girl got your phone number from someone and unless you plan on getting it changed, I don't think it's okay either that someone that malicious has ya number."
"It's fine." She stood up to face him, putting her hands on her hips. "Naraku, I can defend myself. Don't put yourself in the middle of this because she's not worth it."
Naraku stepped away from the door and walked back to Kagome. "How many times has she started something with you?" He asked.
She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. A few times actually and I fought her once kinda."
"Okay well how would you feel if I told the two of y'all that she got a girl raped before? This isn't hypothetical either, I know she has gotten a girl raped before. It's one of the many reasons Inuyasha doesn't mess with her. She clearly keeps messing with females she feels she has power over so Kagome, if you always fight her back and she is still speaking down on you, that means she feels she has power over you. I can't tell you what to do but I don't think it's safe for her to have your phone number or to even know where you stay."
Naraku's word ran a freezer wall down Kagome's spine, making the hairs on her body stand up and her stomach twists in knots. It didn't make sense to her how a woman would want to see something so cruel done to another woman. That's when she realized what Naraku had said.
"Um, I live next door to her actually..."
Naraku's eyes went as wide as golf balls. "No, no fucking way. Kagome, don't let that girl walk over you."
"Naraku, think this out for a moment. What is she actually going to do that won't make her look like a shit starter? She can't just walk up to Kikyo and smack her in the face." Shippo tried to reason with him.
Naraku looked around before looking back at Shippo. "Um, why the fuck can't she?"
"Because it's called an assault charge. You know she would be petty like that."
"Okay well Kagome," He turned to her. "Shippo and I are probably the most pettiest people on this campus. Do you need a lesson in how to make her hit you first?"
"Uh..." Kagome was at a loss for words. Although she didn't like this new piece of information about Kikyo, Kagome knew herself that she wasn't a fighter. It was only something she did if she had to. She didn't have it in her to be mean or spiteful to someone.
"Well I'm going to tell you anyway. There are three major rules I have to being petty. Number one, make them feel ignored. Like nothing they can say is going to make you scream at the top of your lungs right now even if you wanna cuss them out. Number two, insult everything you can about them. I'm talking build a body bitches, spongebob shaped bitches, lace showing on the wig face bitches, anything you can find to make them feel less about themselves, you do it. Finally number three, hit below the belt at all times. Insult their dead parents, spit on their mental issues, I don't care what you have to do to see them cry, you do it. After you have accomplished those three things, you have reached Naraku's level of pettiness."
Kagome was staring at Naraku as if he had three heads. She made a mental note from there on to avoid a verbal dispute with him at all costs. "Um, Naraku I'm sorry. I don't know if I have all of that in me."
He waved her off. "You don't have to. For the most part, I never have to get past level one because it always pisses them off the most. Level two and level three are for bitches I wouldn't mind if they dropped dead in the next few seconds. I mean, you could just be like Shippo, but his pettiness is different from mine."
"I just insult people and dance and laugh and turn the crowd against them. I can't be like you Naraku, you are mean as hell."
Kagome took a step back from the both of them. "Okay, okay. This is a lot. I know she is a bad person but the me in me is telling me that if she isn't starting anything with me, then I don't have to right to be all in her face an upset."
"Yes you do. You have the right to be in her face." Naraku blurted out.
"Naraku! Stop tryna tell her how she has to feel! Let her be her own person! If she doesn't want to fight, we can't make her just because we are about that life." Shippo intervened.
"Okay, but I'm not telling her how to feel. I'm telling her she has the right to get up in anyone's face if she want to. She might get slapped if that person doesn't like that but this is a free country. Do what you wanna. Just don't be afraid of the consequences."
"I need a moment...Excuse me." Kagome excused herself from the group and entered back into the house.
She hadn't seen Inuyasha since he had went inside and she was almost sure they had been there for at least and hour. It felt strange to her that he hadn't come looking for her yet. She walked around for a bit before seeing some people go down into the basement while others had went upstairs. That gave her an idea of where the half demon might have walked off to. She decided to check the basement first.
Upon walking down the stairs, she had been met with an oddly familiar smell. Weed. A lot of it. She could describe the smell but it was strong enough to cough a few times. She put her hand over her mouth and nose as she walked through the area. It was a lot quieter and although it was a generous amount of people engaging in the area, it was a lot less than everyone upstairs. She looked around for a little bit, only keeping her eyes where she had to, not wanting to disturb anyone. When she couldn't find him, she quickly made her way back upstairs.
She then went to check the upstairs and as soon as she reached the top of the stairs, she heard Inuyasha's laugh echo out of one of the rooms. The checked the first door and saw a pool table inside with a bunch of other game systems lying around. Inuyasha's white hair pulled up into a messy ponytail was the first thing she noticed but as she was about to take a step in, Inuyasha's wobbled to the side with his back to her, shooting one of the balls into a hole. One of the women inside with nothing but a bra set on cheered for him, rubbing his shoulder and putting her breasts a little too close to him for Kagome's comfort.
She stepped back out of the room, running down the stairs, wanting to get out of the area as fast as possible. She stormed past all of the people still crowding around the foyer, not caring about their protests or angry remarks. All she could feel was her heart facing, and her mind going at the speed of light filling with dozens of thoughts and scenarios. She didn't know why the girl had been in the room or why Inuyasha allowed himself to be around her and it was killing her inside not knowing everything that had happened while she hadn't been around.
The girl was too comfortable around Inuyasha and she knew Inuyasha did have a past with a lot of women on campus and for all the knew, the girl could have been a past lover. She didn't know though and that was the issue she had. Not long ago, she had just finished saying Inuyasha didn't belong to her but her she was walking down the concrete steps to go sit by the car to cool off because a half naked woman had been in the same room as him. It didn't make sense to her but she was feeling everything right now, and it didn't make her feel in the slightest good about herself. In the wake of learning new things she liked to engage in, she found herself once again trapped in a mix of emotions she didn't want to ever feel again.
Inuyasha told her how she felt but she was still having doubts. They had talked about each other to each other but she still cant't tell what his true intentions are. She told him she'd try to give him a chance but she was letting her emotions take over her in ways she knew they shouldn't be. She tried to breathe in and breathe out but it only made her want to cry more.
As she walked down the pathway to Inuyasha's car parked across the street, it was then she felt something smack her in the face. It was a cup filled with alcohol. When the cup collided with her head, the full drink spilled all over her. She heard laughing in the background and when she looked their way, the main person standing in the middle with the smuggest look on her face was none other than Kikyo. Kagome came to have a good time whether Kikyo was there or not but it seemed that just whenever Kagome was having the time of her life, Kikyo always found a way to show up and everything would crumble for her from there. Was it right to blame her life problems on Kikyo, probably not but she didn't care. All she knew at that moment was that enough was enough.
"Oh, you spilled a drink on me? This is what we do now? We don't know how to fight so we have to throw drinks?" Kagome spoke as if she was speaking to a toddler.
The accent didn't make Kikyo budge. Instead, she followed along and imitated it. "Yup, we sure do. I can throw drinks all night sweetheart. I told you stop fucking with my man. You didn't want to so you had to suffer. How does the drink smell?"
Kagome gave her the biggest smile she could muster. "It smells like your STD infested pussy but who am I to judge right?"
Kikyo's folks hadn't been expecting that, their jaws dropping as the last syllable left Kagome mouth.
"You have no right to judge yet you're sitting here judging me on false accusations." She tried her best to keep up the non intimidated accent but her grinded teeth were speaking as otherwise. She was definitely bothered.
"Did I hit a nerve love? I'm sorry. Think about that next time you let the whole football team run a train in that tunnel of yours."
"Don't fucking talk to her that way you skank!" One of Kikyo's blonde groupies tried to speak up.
She didn't know where Shippo or Naraku came from but before she could respond, the two of them shouted at the girl.
"Don't get in this! Let her speak for herself!" Shippo shouted.
"I second because if they get to fighting and one of you bitches jump in, all fight rules go out the window and you all will get boxed tonight!" Naraku said, raising his voice.
That is when the groupies and Kagome's friends started going back and forth while Kikyo stood there speechless but Kagome wasn't done with her yet.
"Say something Kikyo. I'm getting bored here. Do you not have nothing else to say? You went through the trouble of getting my phone number from someone that wasn't me so clearly you wanted to talk to me. I'm right here so talk to me Kikyo." Kagome was giving her best unbothered impression and Kikyo wasn't smiling anymore.
"Clearly you want to fight but you're all the way over there acting tough." Kikyo said, trying to come back.
She didn't expect Kagome to strut till she was face to face with her. "I'm in your face. Do something." The accent was dropped and Kagome was serious now.
"You came to me, shouldn't it be you doing something? Don't pull up to pussy out bitch." Kikyo was swerving her neck with her words but it didn't phase Kagome.
"You threw the drink so throw hands bitch. Throw something that I can throw back because at this point, anything you say to me is null and void."
"No, you came to me so do something." Kikyo still tried to keep up her same narrative.
"Okay well, I took your man, I let him take me on an expensive ass shopping trip, I let your MAN in between my legs, he let me sit on his FACE, and I gave him everything he didn't want from you! Fuck, you thought I was rapping that song for shits and giggles? NO BITCH, I meant every word-"
That was enough to warrant a harsh shove from Kikyo right into Kagome's chest and the rest almost seemed to happen in slow motion. Kagome wobbled back, because they were in dirt and she was still in her heels but she quickly found her footing and launched for Kikyo's hair. The two grabbed each other's hair almost simultaneously but Kagome had no intentions of just dragging the girl. She used one hand to keep a grip on Kikyo's hair so that Kikyo couldn't pull her down, and the other hand to start swinging hits at her.
At first, she started swinging from the side, only hitting Kikyo in the back of her head but she was looking to give Kikyo more than a headache. After a few hits to the head, Kagome began to cock her fist back, and starting throwing her hands under because both of their faces were down due to their hair being pulled. Kagome was focused on hitting her in the face so that's what she did. With a few clean hits to the face, Kikyo stumbled and fell back with Kagome on top of her.
At this point, a crowd started to circle around them as word spread that there was a fight happening in the front yard. Cameras had already been pulled out at that point and that's when Kikyo started to claw at Kagome's head, yanking her hair back and forth. Kagome struggled to stay on top as Kikyo was trying to use her legs to kick Kagome off but she maintained herself on top, keeping her grip, and aiming to where she expected Kikyo's face to be since her hair was blocking her view.
"Bitch. I. Am. Tired. Of. You. Starting. Shit!" Kagome shouted at her in between every hit.
All of a sudden, as Kagome was banging Kikyo in the face, Kikyo started to scream for help and that's when the blonde girl from Kikyo's clique as well as the other raven haired women ran for Kagome and they all yanked her hair back at once. She fell back, giving Kikyo a chance to get up and hit Kagome in the back of her head but Kagome didn't stay down for long. The adrenaline kicked in and all she could think to do was hit in every direction her hair was being pulled. Where she felt a hand, she threw a closed fist, and in just a few seconds, she had managed to hit each of the four women in the face while being held down by the hair but this segment was meant to end as soon as it started.
Naraku, Shippo, as well as a few of the girls the two men had meant stayed true to their word from when they were going back and forth with the women. They shoved the girls off of Kagome, smacking them off of her.
"So you're putting your hands on women now?!" They tried to yell, throwing their fists at the men but it was clear who was stronger of the two.
"Bitch, anybody can get smacked when you don't fight fair." Naraku stated loud and clear.
"Y'all wanna jump, so what's up? What's up?! WHAT'S UP-" Shippo was screaming in their faces till they swung and from their the two men with help from two random girls jumped on the three of them.
Kagome whipped her hair back, and saw Kikyo in clear view. She charged for her, shoving her back but Kikyo's instant defense stayed the same and she grabbed Kagome's hair, bringing her down with her as she fell. Kagome wasn't in the mood to be fighting on the ground this time so while fighting against Kikyo's rough pulling of her hair, Kagome got to her feet, and just let the distance between her standing up and Kikyo's face on the ground handle the force implemented every time Kagome swung down on her. To everyone around them, Kikyo's face was scrambling about while trying to avoid Kagome's accurate hits.
"Yo, she is getting her ass beat man! Should we break it up?"
"Nah, let them fight!"
"Ass and titties, I repeat, ass and titties out! Little bit of pussy in between!"
"She looks like a chicken trying to dodge those hits dude."
"Beat her ass!"
The comments coming from around them meant nothing to Kagome. She had been waiting for this moment and she was going to use to every opportunity she had. At least that's what she was trying to do until she felt someone's arms embrace her stomach and yank her off of Kikyo. She wasn't sure whose manly build it was but she was kicking, screaming, and wailing her arms around to get out.
"Let me go! I'm not that done with that bitch!" Kagome fought against her holder.
"Kagome! Chill!" Inuyasha's voice said from behind her. He was using all the strength he could to keep her back because any more strength involved, and he could crush her human body. He was trying to carry her back to his car but then Kikyo ran up on the both of them, and somewhere in between that, the guy she came with ran up along side her. Noticing everything at the last second, he turned around and dropped Kagome just in time to turn back and kick the guy back while shoving Kikyo aside.
"Y'all she ain't have enough! Look!" Some guy yelled in the crowd.
The man that had been with Kikyo helped her up before charging his anger at Inuyasha. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
Inuyasha was taken aback by his comment. "Bitch do you wanna fight?" He wasted no time getting to the point.
"Don't touch my sister!" He shouted back.
Inuyasha then took this opportunity to run up in his face. "I ASKED do you want to fight?! Yes or no?! Because you got me fucked up!" He wasn't sure where all the anger and hostility came from but he didn't like that both of them were about to put their hands on Kagome so this changed his objective. He came to get Kagome off of Kikyo but now he was ready for war.
"I said-" The guy started but then a fist flew across his face as Shippo jumped on top of him, and went to work on hitting him back to back.
The guy was clearly surprised by Shippo's attack because it took him a few second to start blocking Shippo's swings. That's when a few men ran to his aid to help protect him from Shippo but without knowing what was going on, Bankotsu jumped in anyway. He had come out side to see what all of the commotion was about and he sobered up real quick when he saw Shippo in the middle of a fight with two guys lunging at him. His first reaction was to sucker punch the two men trying to jump his boyfriend. Naraku had a similar idea because as Bankotsu hit one, Naraku hit the other and now there was a full out brawl on Hojo's front lawn.
Kikyo went back to trying to pull Kagome's hair while Kikyo's groupies still had to fend off the random women that had jumped in. Shippo was fighting Kikyo's brother that was in Inuyasha's face while Naraku and Bankotsu were taking on the two men that jumped in.
"Okay, so no one wants to fight me. That's what I thought." He said, turning his focus back onto breaking up Kagome and Kikyo once again. This time. He just threw Kikyo off before grabbing Kagome to keep the girl from running up again. He unlocked his car and threw Kagome inside, telling her to stay there.
"No!" She fought back, opening the car door and launching out of it. Inuyasha still grabbed hold of her trying to keep her under wraps.
'Okay, guess I gotta calm her down first. I can't expect her mad ass to stay in the car by herself.' He thought to himself.
He then threw her into the backseat, and got inside with her, making sure to put the child lock on. He held her hands above her head and straddled her waist.
"Kagome," He started off calmly. "I know you're upset. Shit, I'm upset for you and I don't even know what she did but judging by your clothes, she probably threw a drink on you. You have every right to be upset, okay?"
"I don't need your fucking validation Inuyasha!" She barked at him.
"I know you don't but you need to calm down. I am going to get the others and we are all going to go back to my place and we all are going to chill the fuck out because this is Hojo's place. We are going to get him in trouble by his neighbors if we don't stop all of this right now." He tried to convince her but she wasn't pushing.
She looked up at him with regretful eyes. "You make me sick you know that? I only came down here because of you! I would have never ran into her had I not seen you all up on that bitch in the other room! She had her fucking titties all over you"
She snatched her hand from his grasp and smacked him sharply across his face, leaving her finger in place. "You consistently have these bitches around you and you expect me to be okay with that? This bitch threw that drink on me because of you, I came down here because I'm tired of finding out about you and these bitches, I am tired Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha was still half way in dream land from how hard she smacked him but that didn't keep him from responding. "Okay well do you want to go then? I will get off of you, I will take you home and you never have to worry about me again."
This didn't make her happy either. "You're always trying to get rid of me! Why? So you can go fuck around with your hoes again!?"
"Kagome, I literally just blocked every female I have ever fucked with just a few hours ago before we came here!"
"Clearly not, because she was was all up on you!"
"I'm sorry, I was drunk, I didn't know if it was titties on me or a man with water balloons in his shirt. I went up there to talk with Hojo, we did, and we downed like two whole bottles of Hennessy. We started playing drunk pool because we were mostly fucked up, a few people found the room, joined us and that was that. I didn't know them, all I knew was that the room felt like a bounce house and I was kicking Hojo's ass in pool. That's ALL!"
"Really? So your excuse is that you were drunk! That's no excuse Inuyasha!"
"I didn't say it was! I'm telling you this because you think I was just up there letting a girl rub her titties on me. Why whould I bring you here if I wanted to be a hoe? That's makes no sense! I didn't know what the fuck was going on besides pool, that's why I'm telling you I was drunk. Seeing this shit go down sobered me the fuck up. Shit, even now, your face is spinning and I don't know how I'm still sitting up."
"Fuck you and your bullshit Inuyasha!"
Kagome was still mad at Kikyo, and whatever leftover frustration she had, it was all being taken out on Inuyasha but he figured that much. Even though he knew all of the anger wasn't meant for him, it was difficult to not react as if it wasn't for him. He could only close his eyes towards the car ceiling and pray for all the patience to deal with his woman crush Wednesday.
"You men always want another bitch that's half naked or a whore, or anything I'm not! Why am I never good enough! Huh? Just tell me! Am I not cute? Am I boring?"
"You're irrational Kagome. That's all you are." Inuyasha said.
"So I'm irrational now?!" She yelled.
"Yes, yes you are." Inuyasha said, not wanting to yell anymore.
"Let me go!"
Inuyasha took a deep breath in and long exhale out. He looked her in her eyes, holding her gaze intensely. "Kagome, you're enough okay? You're enough and more. The only person telling you that you aren't is you. Not me, not Shippo, and not Sango. It's just you. Stop telling yourself that you aren't enough." He didn't know what else to do so he had to go his last resort solution.
She stayed silent this time and turned away from his eyes. He didn't need for her to say anything else. He leaned down and left a sweet kiss on her cheek.
"I wouldn't be here with you if you weren't enough for me. Just let me get them together and we can go home. Okay?"
She hesitated at first but nodded eventually.
"Good, and I'll even tell Hojo to tell that girl to never speak to me again. Just calm down love. I'm not going to leave you for some hussy at a house party." He nuzzled against her cheek before getting out of the car.
Kagome sat up and was surprised to see the front yard had cleared but she saw Inuyasha run around to the back yard so she could only assume everything continued onto the back. She crawled into the passenger seat, fixing her skirt in the process as she waited for him. She pulled her phone out of her bra and opened facebook.
'Some fucking night...can't ever catch a break (╯︵╰,)' She posted to her timeline before closing out the application.
She was feeling indifferent about the entire situation. From going out with Inuyasha for the day to even approaching Kikyo. She couldn't understand her own feelings and it bothered her. She pulled up her contacts and scrolled till she found her mother's name. She was about to press the call button but her finger froze just before clicking it.
'I don't want her to worry...she wasn't even sure is she wanted me to come to college this far...'
She put away her phone all together, deciding not to call her mom. Waiting it out, she leaned her head against the car window before drifting off to sleep. As she rested her eyes, she could faintly hear the driver door open. Her conscious slowly started to return to her.
"Inuyasha, are we leaving now?" She spoke softly knowing he would hear her.
"No."
She jumped out of her sleep at the sound of the voice that didn't belong to the half demon. She was hoping that Inuyasha had only been pretending but she was sure she wasn't hallucinating when she opened her eyes to see Kouga sitting in front of her.
"Long time no see Kagome." He said, speaking in his regular husky voice.
She was at a loss for words, her throat had felt like it was closing up. She noticed his eyes appeared irritated as if he had been rubbing them non stop for hours.
"Surprised to see me? I bet. I came here looking for Naraku and instead I found you so I should just consider myself lucky."
He proceeded to look her up and down, grinning evilly as he eyes liked what he saw. "I see you're taking care of my body nice and well. Have you missed me? Are you sick of Inuyasha yet?"
Kagome couldn't recognize the loving man she had fallen for. Instead he was coming off as a sadistic stalked that watches someone in their sleep. He was becoming obsessed with her but this was not only stirring sadness and fear inside of her. No, there was something else building up and it was something she had never felt before.
As she began to shake, she tried to ask him for his kindness. "K-kouga. Please leave me alone."
Kagome had see Kouga a few times since they have broken up. Each time had been worse than the last and each time scarred her twice as bad. She didn't think of him often but the effect he had on her was very prevalent in how she acted. She couldn't even correctly process her own thoughts and emotions anymore. She felt entirely broken and the root cause was him.
"Now why would I-" He started off but that wasn't what she wanted to hear.
"Kouga get the fuck out of my face or so help me!" She threatened him but before he could answer to her threat, she punched him square in the nose, causing his head to smash into the window. She didn't stop there, she starting going at him with all of her might hitting his face into the window until it smashed open. The sound of breaking glass echoed throughout the street.
"This is all your fault! I can't love no one else because of you, I keep fucking up my life because of you, you couldn't just leave me the fuck out of your twisted ass game! Leave me alone, leave me alone, LEAVE ME ALONE!" She pushed her back against her door so that she had enough room to kick him in the face.
He reacted quickly this time, holding her by the ankle, and biting her but with her stiletto that close to the face, her leg jerked and her foot rammed into his face. He put his hand up and grew his claws out but as he reached for her, he was dragged out of the car.
Inuyasha threw Kouga into the middle of the street, and had planned to give him one more beat down but Naraku wouldn't let that happen. He punched Kouga in the back of his head so hard, Kouga flew over Inuyasha's car and into the other's neighbor's yard.
"Yeah, a faggot just hit your ass into next week. Remember that next time you wanna talk shit." He yelled, jogging up to him. He pulled his mace out again and let Kouga's eyes have it for the second time that day.
"I didn't tell you that you could keep your eyes open!" Inuyasha snatched Naraku by the arm, holding him back from doing anymore damage.
"Just get in the car Naraku. Shippo and Bankotsu already left so lets go." Inuaysha told him. Shockingly enough, Naraku listened and got in the back seat of the car. Inuyasha jumped in the driver's seat and sped off as fast as he could.
"Got damn Kagome. You hurt him more than I did." Inuyasha said in the middle of the silent car ride. He had been referring to the smash window he had to the left of him.
"It's Kouga Inuyasha. Everyone can beat his ass." Naraku cosigned from the back seat.
Kagome didn't say anything back to the two of them so they took that as a sign that she wasn't ready to talk. Inuyasha took Naraku home before making his way back to his humble adobe. When Inuyasha pulled in, he let Kagome out of the car so that he could carry her upstairs. When the two went inside, Inuyasha let her rest on his bed while he went to run her a quick bath. When he came back, she had been lying down on her back with both arms on the side of her head.
He hooked his fingers inside of her skirt, pulling it down and off of her legs before doing the same with her underwear. After then unstrapping her shoes, he sat her up so that he could take her shirt off. When he pulled it over top of her head, he noticed she was smiling.
"You're happy Kagome?" He asked, confused by her sudden change of facial expression.
She nodded, closing her eyes. "Inuyasha...I've wanted to hurt that boy so bad for the longest time. I just didn't have the strength to before but tonight I didn't care what he did to me. I wanted to hurt him anyway possible and I did and I am so happy because he fucking deserved it. Every last punch and every last kick...and every last ounce of mace Naraku put in his eyes." She giggled at her last sentence.
The vibe she was giving off became a lot more welcoming than it had been for the past few days and Inuyasha didn't mind. He would deal with Kouga later but he wanted to tend to Kagome first. Once he had her completely undressed, he picked her up and took her into the bathroom where her warm bubble bath awaited. He'd wrapped her bit wound when she was done. After lying her back in the water, he placed a small stool next to the tub and grabbed her foot out of the water. He massaged into it, watching her head tilt back as she moaned.
"I know you've been wearing heels all day and I just don't want your feet hurting tomorrow is all." He stated.
Kagome was too into the bath and the work being done to her feet to listen to him. She just wanted him to keep on doing what he was doing. This time, Kagome did drift completely into dream world, letting the warm sensations in her body relax her into slumber. Inuyasha had let her body soak for about half an hour before he took her out of the water. He dried her and her hair off, before using a warm rag to take the rest of her makeup off. Once he was sure most of it was gone, he put her in one of his t-shirts and a pair of his basketball shorts before going to get his first aid kit from the bathroom.
The bite hadn't been that deep but the bath seemed help with the bleeding. He used a bit of hydrogen peroxide to clean it off, wrapping it a reusable bandage afterwards. He was shocked she didn't wake up when he disinfected the wound but he didn't question it. She had liquor in her system and she had a long night for the most part. There was nothing left for him to do but get under the covers with her, put her on his chest and join her in sleep.
I'm happy with this so I'm going to leave it here. It isn't the whole 20,000 like I wanted but 17,300 + words is better than what I started off with. I now have a clear view for chapter 19 and I can get that started this weekend.
