Hi everyone. I've been gone for a while and for those that follow my blog, you know I already explained why and thanks for understanding. Those of you that also follow me on the blog know that this wasn't supposed to be the entire update but I cut a chunk out to give to you guys tonight. A lot of filler content (actually all) has been inspired by stories I've heard from friends so I do hope you at least enjoy this because trust me you're in for quite a few surprises this shachapter. Kagome's party is coming soon lovelies ~~~
Thanks for all the support guys and I am officially back ^_^ I will be doing review replies for both this chapter and the upcoming chapter so feel free to speak now or forever hold your piece until next time.
Fixing her hair into a messy bun to get herself through another long day of classes, Kagome rushed through the process using as many bobbypins that she could find lying about inside her overnight bag. After her blaring alarm echoed through Inuyasha's enlarged master bedroom, Kagome jumped out of her sleep to not only her phone being on the other side of the bed forcing her to move but Inuyasha was gone as well. Having no idea where he was woke her up quicker than her alarm did as she scanned around the room looking to see if he had left a note but her eyes spotted nothing. When she opened her phone after snoozing her alarm, she found a text from half demon himself.
Inuyasha: Good morning love, I hope my girlfriend slept well ; ) I'm in the gym again this morning so don't wait around for me. I've been slacking and I refuse to go back to the skinny mess I used to be. I left some money in the kitchen for you just in case you wanted to get breakfast or something. I'll see you later. Let me know when you get to school.
Being called his girlfriend was enough to make her heart swoon but it made realization for her kick in more than anything. Inuyasha was dead serious about his words and intentions and she had no idea how to feel about it. He already told her he'd ask her out at the end of the week if she liked what she saw. So far, she was appreciating every thing her eyes had seen.
Once she finished freshening up in the bathroom and dealing with mother nature's gift, she threw on her black and white floral romper that she had packed to wear for the day. The spare key was sitting besides the money Inuyasha had left on the counter. Grabbing both items, she left out the door, dialing her best friend as she exited the building.
"Yas bitch?" Shippo answered tiredly from the other end.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Kagome asked. Shippo had stayed the night at her place since he had broken up with Bankotsu the night prior. Although he had himself together once he saw her last night, she had no idea how he coped throughout the night.
"I'm okay I guess. That bitch won't stop calling me or texting me though so I think I might have to block him."
Kagome began her small journey towards campus, walking down the long strip of stores and outlets. Traffic was beginning to pickup so she thanked heavens that Inuyasha allowed her to walk to school this morning.
"Shippo, you know it's okay to feel bad right? You don't have to act like you don't miss him or that you're not hurt. It's okay." Kagome had just gone through a breakup herself. She understood the pain he was feeling but she didn't know why he wasn't allowing himself to feel it.
"No fuck him! I'm not gonna shed another fucking tear for that bitch! He can go back to his ex just like he wanted with his fake gay ass!"
"So you don't feel anything?"
"No Kagome. FUCK him. I'm not the same weak bitch I used to be and for a second I was contemplating going back to some of my old ways because I trusted him that much but nah, he showed me why I need to remain the tough hard ass I am today. I can't believe for a second I even questioned what Shiori told me for that hoe."
Kagome could only shake her head. She didn't want to pressure Shippo anymore but she couldn't help but worry for his inner sanity. Keeping emotions pent in for so long would only lead to disaster sooner or later.
"No offense Kagome, but I'm not you. I can't give sympathy to a no good as loser. I will put myself through hell and back before I show weakness to a bottom of the barrel ass bitch like him. You're so much nicer and sweeter Kagome and people take advantage of that shit. That's why I tell you watch yourself around Inuyasha because as much as might have seemed like he changed, you just never know girl."
"Yeah, I know. He really does seem genuine but I guess you could never be too sure." It pained Kagome to think that way of Inuyasha but her brain had to keep tabs on her heart. It was more realistic to think that way even if it made her feel bad.
"I really did think Bankotsu for a long time that Bankotsu just needed the right person to bring certain things out of him and I thought I was the one but clearly he has too much of a soft spot for the bitch. Did I tell you that's the same girl that has come in between a lot of his relationships and she is always there in between them? He was fucking around with her before him and I became official. That should've been sigh number one for me not to trust his ass but I gave him the benefit of the doubt just because me and him weren't dating at the time."
"Wait, he told you that?" It was an interesting fact to know but it didn't surprise Kagome at all.
"Yeah, he wanted to get all secrets out of the way before dating me so there wouldn't be any surprises or something like that. Point is, the bitch clearly can't stay away from that hoe so I just need to exit the situation. I don't wanna be with him anymore Kagome."
"Well no offense to you Shippo, but I think you're not being honest with yourself?" Kagome's words slipped out but she couldn't help it. She wanted Shippo to get better but he wouldn't unless he addressed the problem.
"How the fuck am I lying?"
"Because you're hurt Shippo! You wouldn't be this mad if you weren't! Just let yourself cry or feel something because it's not helping that you aren't."
"I'm not hurt Kagome. I don't give a fuck about him or the cum bucket he went back to. Fuck him, fuck his momma, fuck his car that I keyed since he wanted to play me, fuck his dog, and fuck his dead ass grandma while we at it because I don't give a fuck about anything that has to do with him! Do you get it now?! I'm over him and everything that bitch lives for."
Kagome held a hand over her chest. She knew he was upset but she had no idea about the extent it went to; nonetheless, it further proved how right she was about him being hurt more than anything. The only thing she could do was wait until he was ready to talk.
"I'm really sorry Shippo. I just hope that you two will at least be able to move past this and be cordial. I wouldn't want there to be any hatred between the two of you."
"Nope fuck him."
Kagome's walk lasted another ten minutes before she was where she needed to be. The phone call with Shippo hardly went anywhere as he was so upset with Bankotsu that all he could think about was the bad things he wanted to do to get back at the man. He told Kagome that he didn't feel like going to class today so it was pointless to try and meet up with him. Surprisingly enough, she was still able to convince him to meet up with her for lunch just to get him out of her small room for a little while.
Taking mostly general educations courses for her first year of school, Kagome decided to keep her worst subjects on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To start off her mornings, algebra was the first class she had to attend to. She was decent at it in highschool but could never remember the harder equations. The teacher she had liked to focus mostly on classwork but would begin the lesson by going over homework, and then transitioning into the lesson for the day. When Kagome received her homework back, she wasn't surprised to see a whopping forty-percent on the top of the page.
Paying close attention to the professor as she went over some of the questions, Kagome found herself almost confused as to how she could make so many simple mistakes on a ten question homework assignment. Sneaking her phone under the table, she decided to text Inuyasha as her mind couldn't take the beating she was giving herself for getting so many questions wrong.
Kagome: I'm in class now π
Just as before, since he had his phone on him, he texted right back.
Inuyasha: What's wrong my dear?
Completely giving up on the lesson at the moment, she focused herself on the conversation her and Inuyasha were having.
Kagome: I hate math so much. I fucking suck at it and if I get one more bad grade in this class, I'd have to pass the hell out of the midterm to get myself back in a safe spot.
As she waited for a text back from him, she noticed that she hadn't changed the name of contact in her phone yet. She had a few pictures of him that she'd managed to sneak in so she used the most recent one of him sleeping and renamed his contact to "Boo Thang."
Boo Thang: Well why didn't you tell me you were having issues? You're talking to the nerd/jock of his entire highschool career right here. I led the fuck out of the math and the track team all the way to international victory. I was the shit and still amπ ...Don't ask me anything about history though. I suck at that shit. π
His words didn't move her at all. In fact, they made her heart sink twice as fast. Everyone around her seemed to be good at the subject but her.
Kagome: I'm pretty sure if the tutors couldn't fix me, neither can you. I think I'm just destined to fail at thisβ¦
Boo Thang: Don't say that. I'll help you. Miroku used to be ass at it too till I helped him. When is your mid-term?
Kagome: Beginning of November. It's the last one I have to take. I really don't get how you could help me. So many people have triedβ¦
Boo Thang: Trust me, I'll have you all trained by then π
Kagome cocked her head at his response. Knowing Inuyasha, he was suggesting something sexual but she could only assume.
Kagome: I doubt it π but you can try. Just try and keep your hands to yourself K?
Boo Thang: No promises. With a face like that and an ass that big, how could I resist youβ€ ? Not to mention how well your pussy screams for me when I'm down there. It's no wonder I can't help myself. Love π
Kagome: Im getting sick of you sexting me in class π
Boo Thang: You not gone stop me tho lol you know you love it ππ
Kagome: That all may be true but still. I'm supposed to be paying attention. Not texting or sexting you
No matter when she talked to him, Inuyasha had an awful habit of turning harmless flirting into full blown sexual conversations. It baffled Kagome as to why it still surprised her as if she this wasn't how she met Inuyasha. He's hardly changed but she couldn't say the same for herself. When dating Kouga, sexting was always something Kouga had to egg on because it made Kagome nervous. Now, she found pleasure just in showing him that she could think just as nasty as he could but even the joy in that wasn't enough to beat the way he talked to her. Kagome never thought she would be into someone like Inuyasha but here she was playing along right with and she was enjoying every second of it.
Boo Thang: Kagome my dear, your period is the only thing stopping me from seeing you when you get out of class.
Completely ignoring the work her professor handed out, she kept on messaging Inuyasha. Another thing she appreciated about the teacher was that finishing the classwork wasn't necessary and could be turned in later as homework. For that reason, she busied herself with the man texting her phone.
Kagome: And just why can't you come see me?
The next set of texts came separate.
Boo Thang: Because I want to throw your ass into the nearest closet and finger fuck you until you can't hold yourself back from screaming anymore. π π π¦
Boo Thang: I want you to beg me to stop because you're afraid we'll get caught but everytime I try to pull out, you pull me closer
Boo Thang: And then I want you to go to your next class dazed trying to keep yourself together as you think about everything my hands just did to your body
Reading his text messages, the scenario became vividly clear in her mind as his words shook through her body. If only she wasn't on her period, she would have been told him to make his way on over.
Kagome: Well too bad, so sad sunshine. I'm bleeding.π
Boo Thang: Love. I am nasty okay? I've fucked a few girls on their periods before. Whatever bleeding you have going on down there does not scare me at all. I'm just respecting that you'd probably prefer not to be played with during such a sensitive time. π
Her hand flew over her chest, not expecting what he just said. She knew his was nasty but she hadn't been expecting that. Knowing he wasn't scared of the boundaries a woman's menstrual period was supposed to possess made her all the more worried about how he'd touch her when she was around.
Kagome: Omg, gross! π¨π
Boo Thang: You say that now till one night, you're body's begging for me and you're bleeding. It's okay. Just know that I'll be a question away from giving you whatever your heart desires when you're ready. π
Kagome:I don't think I'd ever want that.π£
Boo Thang: A lot of girls used to say they don't want their ass eaten but look at them now...that's one thing I won't do though so don't ask for that. I'll give you everything else lol π
Kagome: You're making me question just how much you've done with womenβ¦π
Boo Thang: Would you believe me if I told you not everything? Lol. I wanted to save some firsts for my next girlfriend. I just kept the hoe shit to a minimum
Kagome: Like what?
She didn't believe him but she couldn't expect what he was about to tell her next.
Boo Thang: I've never made love to a girl before.
Had she not have been in class, she would have busted out laughing. That line sounded so fake coming from someone like Inuyasha, she had no idea why he expected her to believe a players line like that.
Kagome: Oh that's funny ππ thanks for sharing the joke. You don't have to try and play me Inuyasha. I'm not dumb.
Boo Thang: π I'm fucking serious. I don't make love to girls. I fuck them, long and hard. I've never seen the point in the making love bullshit. When I'm horny, I don't wanna be in love. I wanna be inside a vagina. I don't care if it's my face, hands, or dick. I wanna be inside vagina damit π
Kagome: So why would you want to "make love" if you don't believe in it sir?
Boo Thang: Miroku told me it's nice to have it every once in a while and it gives a different vibe than regular sex. I told him if I ever got another real girlfriend, I'd do it. Ever since, I've wanted to try it to see what the fuck is so special about it but no girl has been able to make me love them yet soβ¦
Kagome: Damn, so you don't love me? I'm hurt lol π
Boo Thang: Well do you love me?
She took a small pause, thinking of what he asked her. She was crushing hard but she wasn't entirely sure if she could say her feelings went that far.
Kagome: It's a secret π
Boo Thang: Okay then, well imma keep how I feel a secret too since you wanna be childishπ
Kagome: Ugh, rude π
Boo Thang: but i'm cute though. Girls like cute rude guys. That's how the movies always end up
Kagome: Well the movies lied to you sir
Boo Thang: Damn...does the porn lie too? Do girls really not like getting their pussies rubbed like turntables?
Kagome: Fuck no π lmao, I hope you don't do that
Boo Thang: You're saying that like I haven't gone down on you before...multiple timesβ¦.stupid ass...but you my stupid ass π
Kagome rolled her eyes at the text but continued on texting him for the remainder of class. Once her break period had arrived, she packed up what was now to be her homework inside of her bag. She was sure she missed a lot by not paying attention in class but was almost just as sure that had she paid attention, she would still leave class just as clueless. She headed towards the food court to meet up with Shippo for a small meal hoping that the fox demon would actually show up.
Once inside the large dining hall, she navigated herself through the light traffic of people, checking around to see if there was anything in particular she'd be in the mood for. Just as she read the sign for Panda Express, her phone vibrated with a text from Shippo
Shippo: Where yous at? I'm by Mcdonalds.
She let him know that she was by Panda Express and was preparing to order. When she turned around to see if she could get a glimpse of where he was, she saw him walking towards her. His ponytail was sloppier than usual and the skin on his face appeared dry. He was consistently wiping his eyes as if there was something in them.
"Hey you okay?" She asked as he stood beside her.
"Yeah, I'm good. I didn't wash my face this morning so there is a bunch of crust in my eyes." He told her.
"Well, today is your lucky day! I'll treat you to some food if you'd like any?"
Shippo slowly turned his head towards her, holding back a giggle. He wouldn't admit it but Kagome's energy was contagious and it made him feel warm inside.
"Now bitch, you know I'm not gonna turn down some free food."
"Exactly! So get whatever you want." If it was one thing that made her feel better after her breakup, it was free food. The least she thought she could do for him until he was ready to come to his senses was console him with the best gift of all, a full stomach.
"Damn, where your mom work at? You out here just buying a bitch Panda Express and shit."
"Well she works at a non-profit hospital but this money in fact came from Inuyasha. My mom gave me like a thousand dollars for food to last me until I see her for christmas so I'm good but if I don't have to spend it, I won't." She explained.
Shippo folded his arms, leaning on his hip. "You're so lucky. I wished my parents liked me like that but they homophobic as hell so now I gotta use these sugar daddies any way I can."
Kagome paid for their food and found them a bar table to sit at. After the two were well adjusted in the high bar stools, Shippo brought up Bankotsu again.
"Okay," He started, brushing a strand of his hair to the side. "So I know I was really pissed off this morning but I did my best to calm down like you asked and I was going through snapchat and I see this..."
He gave Kagome his phone, letting her see the video that was on the screen. The caption said "When you living life stress free" as the video behind it was of him kissing up on a girl's neck with a cigarette in his hand. Her mouth flew open as her eyes stretched for a second to make sure that was she thought she was seeing is what she was actually seeing.
Shippo shook his head. "And that's not all girl..."
He proceeded to show her the rest of his snaps which included him being laid up with a bunch of girls but none could have prepared Kagome for the most recent one. Bankotsu was next to a guy who had been smoking a blunt beside him. The caption this time was "When they call you fake gay like Bisexuality isn't a thing #YesILikeBoth" as Bankotsu himself kissed the boy beside him. Kagome handed Shippo his phone back and busied her hands with bringing food to her mouth as she couldn't find herself to speak words out of it.
Shippo's hardened exterior seemed to have evaporated in a matter of seconds. His tightened facial features fell and the scowl on his face transformed into a saddened expression.
"You don't get how frustrating this is Kagome...Like I literally haven dozens of calls and texts from him last night but all of these snaps are from last night around the same time. Why he tryna make it seem like he just dumped me to the curve when I left him?"
Shippo was hardly touching his food. He held his face in one hand while the other replayed the snaps over and over again. The amount of disbelief he felt was like no other.
"And then he wanna be shady and bring up the fake gay thing. He knew what I meant because I even explained myself afterwards. I never said he wasn't bisexual but I don't think he likes boys as much as he likes girls and I meant that. I really think he be putting up a front. That kiss he did in the snap wasn't even real. I've kissed this man for several months, I know how he kisses and that's far from it."
"So, are you saying his kisses with you were real?" Kagome didn't mean to pick at his words but her curiosity was never the type to sleep.
"I question that now but compared to what I just saw, I know he was faking it."
"Well if you ask me, I think he is doing it just to make you jealous."
"Oh Kagome, that's a no brainer. If I show you all of these texts and voicemails he left me around the same time he made those snaps, you'd see even better but I'm going to spare your time on that one."
Kagome put her fork down to wipe her mouth. "Well let me ask you this then. Have you ever thought that maybe you were an exception to his rule? Like say he doesn't like guys like you said but found you so amazing that he was willing to put aside his sexuality to be with you?"
Shippo looked around in the air momentarily before harshly shrugging his shoulders. "I mean, I still would call him fake gay, and fake bisexual. I don't think I could be with someone that doesn't like men. Even if they were willing to do all that for me, it would make me uncomfortable knowing that I am not the sex you're physically attracted to. It would end up the same. I would still leave him."
She gave him a small smile, the best she could muster up at the moment. "I actually find the idea quite romantic. Willing to give up something so big like sexuality to be with someone, I think that would make an awesome narrative for a story or something. I don't know, that's just me I guess being a sucker for cheesy love stories. It's so weird, I like reading love stories but if someone puts on a romance movie, I get so angry. I hate romance movies!"
She had tried to steer the conversation out of the direction it was heading and her ears were happy to hear Shippo take the bait.
"That's because in books, they can take their time and have you get to know a lot more about the situation as opposed to what a one to two hour movie does. Honestly, I fucking think it's because we get to imagine and fill in blanks and shit for stuff when we reading but on the screen we can't do that. We gotta sit back and listen to this bullshit the screenwriters feed us and we hate it." As Shippo's talked more, he was finally beginning to eat his food.
"Ohh, this is good! I haven't had Panda Express in so long. I remember one of my old ignorant friends took me here for the first time on my birthday because it was asian food and he assumed because I'm asian or whatever that I was gonna like the food. Dumb on his part but the food was popping so I let his stupid comments slide that one time. I had to let him know eventually that even though my background is Japanese, I don't speak a lick of it because I was actually born here. I'm American as fuck."
"Now Shippo, you know not everyone can comprehend common sense. It's crazy that you bring that up because I think I told you already, my birthday is coming up and I am free-"
"Oh bitch! It's gonna be so lit! I didn't forget! I have a few things put together, and you are gonna LOVE it!"
She crossed her arms. "Now Shippo, please nothing big? I really don't wanna do much. A small dinner would be fine or something."
The fox waved her off but agreed with her just to calm her nerves. "Fine, I won't do the most but I will find an alternative way to do the most."
"Oh my gosh, you are urky!"
He stuck his tongue out. "I know bitch!"
Kagome sat aside her finished food, proceeding to sip on her sprite. "Yeah, I don't want to get caught up in my birthday because mid terms are coming up and I've been doing so horrible in Algebra and whatnot. I need to study and get back on top of my homework."
"I need to too. You're not the only one. I have a few things I need to do today so we can study tomorrow if you want to."
"Like a little group study? That would help a lot. It might keep me focused since I can't do that for shit when it comes to math."
"Who you telling? That's not my strong suit either so please don't come to me with questions."
Just as the two were parting ways, Shippo's phone dinged with messages coming in from Bankotsu. This time around, instead of reading and ignoring them, he simply went straight to sliding the messages off his screen and ignoring them. He hugged Kagome goodbye and headed back to her room. On her way out of the dining area, Kagome felt someone tap her shoulder. She spun around to find Ryura looking her in her face with an amused look in his eyes.
"Crazy that I run into you on a day like this. How are ya?" He asked, breaking the silence.
Kagome's eyes wondered, trying to find anything but him to look at. Their last encounter had not been the most pleasant one and she could hardly hold back the embarrassment she felt for everything that came out of Inuyasha's mouth.
"I'm great, just heading to my next class is all. Ya know, the time is going and whatnot and I should really be on my way so I will see you around-"
"Kagome, chill. It's okay." He put his hands on her shoulders to stop her from going anywhere. "I'm not angry or anything. I just wanted to let you know I'm good and don't feel bad for what happened."
Her heart was racing and she could hardly pay attention to what he was saying. All she could think about was how she wanted to be anywhere in the world but there at the moment.
"Ryura, no it's not. Look, the guy wasn't my boyfriend or anything like that at the time so don't worry about him. I really really really am sorry for everything. I didn't mean for it to happen like that, it's just I guess I wasn't clear about certain things...I don't know." She had been wanting to apologize but didn't want Inuyasha to think that she was trying to play him either. After the event with Muso and the situation with Ryura, Kagome was surprised Inuyasha was even still pursuing her. She could only imagine how he would feel had he found out about the man that she was using for much as she fussed at Inuyasha for seeming like the player, she could see clear as day that she wasn't presenting herself in the best lighting either.
"No need for it Kagome. I know when to back off but if I only get to talk to you when I run into you, I might as well let you know that you look good today. I really hope someone does this beautiful face of yours justice." He slid a finger across the side of her face, looking her up and down.
She slid backwards, stumbling slightly as she forgot there was a staircase behind her. Catching her footing, she cleared her throat and bid the man farewell.
"Well uh, it was nice talking but I really have to go. Thanks for being understanding Ryura...I'll see you around...maybe. Bye!" She jetted out as fast as she could without making herself look too obvious that she was running away from him. The last thing she needed was the scent of his fingers to be on her whenever she saw Inuyasha again.
'If I'm gonna let him play boyfriend to me, I might as well at least try to be faithful.'
As the day passed by, Kagome kept her phone in her pocket waiting for a text back from Inuyasha but it never came. As the evening rolled in and she was making her way back to her dorm, she decided to text him again to see if she could reach him.
Kagome: Hellooo? Are you ignoring me :(
Surprisingly enough, he texted her right back.
Boo Thang: Never that love, just was busy with a few things today. How was your day?
Kagome: Good, a little slow but it was alright I guess.
Boo Thang: I'm happy to hear. Quick question though. Know it may seem random but how would you like to do a photoshoot with me this thurday?
Phone in her hands, she stopped in her tracks, reading over the message once more. She recalled Inuyasha telling her that he liked to take pictures but never explaining the extent of his abilities.
Kagome: Like a real one? I mean, I don't kow. Why me though? I'm sure there's plenty of cuter girls here on campus.
Boo Thang: But if I have a girlfriend, why would I want to have an intimate photoshoot with them Kagome? You're all I've been wanting to take pictures of. Just haven't gotten around to doing it.
As she approached her building, she remember that she had given Shippo her key. She internally thanks the heavens that Shippo decided to stay home because she had no other way in. On the other hand, she wasn't necessarily complaining if she had to stay the night with Inuyasha either.
Kagome: Intimate? What are you getting at Inuyasha?
Boo Thang: Oh nothing, It's just that I wanna be a bit...unprofessional for this photoshoot. Can't do that with a random girl ya know. Please Kagome? I promise I'll make it worth your while. I've give you all the candy and cake you want.
'He's really bribing me with sweets like I'm some dumb girl that's just gonna accept that? Because that's exactly what my dumbass is gonna do.' She thought to herself.
Kagome: Fine. But only because you asked so nicely.
Boo Thang: Can't wait
Kagome knocked on her door, yelling for Shippo to let her in. Seconds later, the door was opened with a disheveled looking Shippo behind it. He fell back onto the bed once he unlocked the door for her, burying his face into the pillow. Kagome sat her stuff down beside her dresser, and plugging her phone into the charger.
"Hey, everything okay?" She asked, concerned.
He mumbled through the pillow. "Mhm, yeah. Just been sleeping the bullshit away."
Kagome puffed out a sigh. "Yeah, I hear that. I mean, I have some good news if you wanna hear it but you sound like you're down."
"Mm mm, I'm okay. Wassup?"
"Well, Inuyasha asked me to do a photoshoot with him this Thursday. I knew he liked to take pictures and stuff but I didn't know he liked to do it like that ya know what I mean?"
Shippo picked his head up from the pillow to look at her. "Girl you know Inuyasha weird. He like all the shit you don't expect him to like. I thought he was gonna be some painter or musician or some shit. Whole time, he just takes pictures and buy clothes to take pictures."
She kicked her shoes off and sat beside Shippo's feet. "Well, I don't think it's weird. I know Kouga was into sports and music so Inuyasha for me is a breath of fresh air."
"I'm getting real sick of all these fuckboys on this got damn campus-"
Knock Knock
A light knock sounded through Kagome's door, interrupting Shippo mid-sentence. The two students looked at each other in confusion as neither of the two had been expecting anyone. Kagome took the initiative to walk to the door and look through the peephole.
"Is that Bankotsu? If it is, tell that bitch go home and leave me alone." Shippo said.
Kagome only shook her head as Shippo watched her unlock the door. As the door swung open, a man with a bouquet of flowers stood at the door.
"Uh...Hi." Kagome mumbled.
The man in front of her bowed. "Good evening. Are you Kagome Higurashi?" He asked.
Kagome gave him a nod. "Yeah, that's me." She slowly breathed out.
The mean pulled the plastic from over the flowers, presenting them to her. "Well then, these are for you m'am." He said, handing her the large bouquet of yellow roses.
Kagome had to use both of her arms to grab hold of the bouquet. She thanked the man before shutting the door. When she turned around, Shippo was on the bed with a tightened smile on his face.
"What?" She blurted out.
Shippo jumped out of his spot on the bed to sit up and face her. "Now bitch, who sent them flowers? And don't lie to me."
She rolled her eyes, resting the flowers down on top of her dresser. There was a tag attached to a string around the stem of the roses. Kagome picked it up to see the familiar name and note written.
"Well if you must know, it says 'I'm probably gonna get in trouble for spending more money on you that's not mine but it's okay because you're worth every penny β Inuyasha.' and there's a little heart drawn here too."
Shippo crossed his arms over his shoulders and fell back. "I'm dead bitch. Inuyasha sending flowers now? Y'all haven't fucked yet? Why he so pressed?"
"Why are you asking all these questions?"
"Why don't you look so happy to get flowers?" Shippo sassed back.
Kagome looked up, thinking about the question momentarily before shrugging her shoulder. "I don't know. It's just I've never gotten flowers before. It feels weird like I don't know how to react to it. I am happy he got them for me, I just need a bit of time to process it I guess."
"Hoe you're weird."
"Oh shutup Shippo." She left Shippo alone while she went to shower with the thought of the flowers on her mind.
As the sun began it's exit for the day, Inuyasha arrived home after taking a small jog around the neighborhood. Just as he was entering his complex, his phone received a notification letting Inuyasha know that the flowers he ordered had been delivered to Kagome. He wanted to deliver them personally but found himself caught up in another group project that had to be tended immediately. The meeting between him and the other students had gotten a little heated after he expressed his feelings about being assigned most of the work just because he understood the class more than they did. He could admit that he probably came off more aggressive than he should have but that's what the jog was for; to work off some of the extra tension he had built up after a long day.
Right on the dot just as he expected after the transaction for the flowers had gone through, Sesshomaru was calling his phone as he shut the door behind him.
"Hello Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha sung into the phone, pretending he didn't know why his brother was calling.
"Why do I have monitor your purchases now more than I did when you were a lot younger?" He cut straight to the point, not baiting into Inuyasha's melody.
Still, Inuyasha was going to stick to his clueless mindset as long as he could. "I don't know what you're talking about Sesshomaru. I've never asked you to monitor the money you give me."
"Cut the bullshit Inuyasha. I cut down your allowance as a punishment at first and even with the little you have now, you're just blowing it left and right. The only time I expect a dent in your account is when you're going shopping. Now I look and I see all types of withdrawals, department stores, candy shops, restaurants, and now even a little floral shop? You are a college student, how are you blowing a thousand dollars in a week? I would love to know."
Inuyasha knew this phone call would be coming, he just had no idea when or how upset Sesshomaru would be. As much as he liked to spoil Inuyasha, he had no interest in letting Inuyasha be irresponsible with the money he did spoil him with.
"Well, it's no point in lying to you. Ever since I've been hanging out with Kagome, I kinda just don't care how much I spend sometimes. Literally price tags go over my head now. I hardly even look at em." Inuyasha confessed. He wasn't unhappy or ashamed of himself. In fact, he preferred to spend the money on someone else rather than himself anyway.
"Oh my Inuyasha, what am I going to do with you. You get yourself a little toy to play with and now all of a sudden, you think you're the one with the fat bank account like I won't shut it down today or tomorrow. I'm not gonna ask you again Inuyasha. Calm down on your spending habits or the only money you'll be getting is rent and grocery money." Sesshomaru lectured him as if he was more than just Inuyasha's older sibling but he couldn't help it. The last thing he'd want is for his brother to end up like their father.
Inuyasha on the other hand was not paying Sesshomaru's threats any mind mostly due to the fact that they've had this conversation multiple times in the past and he's yet to do anything too serious. He was Sesshomaru's soft spot and not even the older man himself could deny that.
"Yeah yeah Sesshomaru, I get it." Inuyasha told him just to make him feel better.
Inuyasha could Sesshomaru suck his teeth from the other end of the phone. "You are pointless Inuyasha. Anyway, I wanted to discuss something else with you."
"Oh yeah? What is it?" Inuyasha asked, plopping his body down on the cushioned couch.
"Has Kagura been calling you?" Sesshomaru questioned him.
"Uhm, not that I know of. Why?" As far as the half demon knew, he hadn't had any contact with Kagura since he saw her at their dinner.
"Well a few of my employees have complained about a woman calling around and asking rather concerning questions. If I was a delusional wife looking for information, I'd look to the family member closest to him for information."
Inuyasha figured it was only a matter of time before Kagura started biting back at Sesshomaru. One of the biggest issues in their marriage was their personality types. Neither of them liked to back down but Sesshomaru was way better at the game than Kagura so naturally she gave in eventually which led Sesshomaru to slowly follow suit and let his guard down around her. Sesshomaru had a habit of not communicating properly with his wife which left room for dozens of assumptions and conclusions.
"I mean can ya blame her Sesshomaru? You always act like you have something to hide around her. You two just need to take a vacation somewhere and get away from everything." Inuyasha suggested.
"I don't need to do anything. I shouldn't have to explain myself to my partner when there should already be trust in the relationship."
"Trust don't stop people from cheating Sesshomaru. Not saying you are but if you really care, you'd want to put the rumors to rest at least."
"I already addressed her concerns the first time we had the talk. If she is still curious, that's her problem, not mine and-β¦." Sesshomaru paused in the middle of talking.
"Hello? You still there?" Inuyasha called out.
"Uh...yes. I'll talk to you later Inuyasha. I need to take this call." Without waiting for a proper farewell, Sesshomaru ended the call.
Inuyasha couldn't find himself to move from the couch. Instead, he looked at the phone as the call screen then switched to back to his lockscreen. Sesshomaru was never one to leave without a proper goodbye. As many times he'd been smacked on the hand by his older brother for walking away from people before bidding them farewell, he would know. Although he found it odd, he didn't let the thought linger for too long as he had homework and studies to attend to along with a certain girl he'd been looking forward to getting on the phone with.
~ Half an Hour earlier~
"How many times to I have to tell you I'm not the only one that works here? I'm not going to keep on running behind them to make sure their tables have been attended to. If people are complaining, take that up with our boss and stop calling me when shit hits the fan." Rin scolded the young hostess she had trained just weeks prior.
Rin had been deemed one of the best waitresses at their location which came with a set of pros and cons. She could go throughout her day without being micro-managed but somehow had to deal with coworkers that wanted her to micro manage them. Normally, she kept herself busy by going over to tables that hadn't been checked on if she had any free time to do so. This led not only the hosts that worked there to believe she was a manager, but caused other waiters and waitresses to become lazy. Making sure the restaurant was running how it was supposed to was a small task she did to keep her hands off of her phone and in turn, she was then bombarded daily with manager duties while her actual supervisor just sat around in the kitchen. Although the host hadn't done anything wrong to Rin, her inner frustrations came out all at once.
"I'm sorry Rin, I just thought that because everyone else would go to you, that's how it was setup-"
"Well, I'm telling you now to stop it and run the message by everyone else too." Rin turned on her heel, stepping out of the bathroom to approach the host's podium to give the same message to the other host on duty but just as she turned to the guy, a long black limousine pulls up in front of the restaurant.
The restaurant was known for attracting wealthier customers so limousines were nothing uncommon to Rin but she'd never seen one accented with hundreds of diamonds. For a moment, her eyes were mesmerized with how the jewels shined in the setting sun. A man in a fitted suit stepped out of the vehicle to assist a woman with getting out. Rin hadn't paid the woman much mind until she saw her gloved hands take off her sunglasses. At that moment, her eyes seemed to look through the clear glass and straight into Rin's eyes. Her head cocked to the side and the scowl on her face only made Rin's nerves tense up. She quickly abandoned the idea of the conversation she planned to have with the other host to return to her existing tables.
The woman walks the the heavy glass doors with two men closely following suit behind her. She is immediately greeted by the man behind a podium.
"Good evening M'am. Table for three today?" He greeted her.
Slowly she shook her head. "I'm afraid not. I need to speak to Rin. Is she in today? It's urgent."
Not prepared for the question, the bald man stumbled over his words. "I-uh, uhm...I believe so but I can definitely check for you. Whose asking?"
As if she knew he'd ask, she lowered her head and mustered the saddest voice she could come up with. "It's about a family member. I tried calling her but she isn't answering. Please just let her know her Aunt's here."
Hearing the news, he excused himself and rushed to find Rin. It wasn't long before he located her on the second floor bringing a table their drinks and taking their orders. He walked up behind her, tapping her lightly on the shoulder, not wanting to cause of commotion in front of the customers. Startled, she turned with her pad in her hand.
"Yes Terrance?" She asked, hoping he could hear the annoyance in her voice.
He leans forward to whisper in her ear. "Um, your Aunt's here. She says something has happened to a family member and she couldn't reach you."
Her eyes flinched wide, taken aback by his words. She turns and bows to the table to excuse herself, signaling Terrance to finish up her table as she runs to the front of the restaurant to see what was going on. As she's looking around in a panic for any signs of her aunt, she then notices who is the only person residing at the front of the host area. Catching sight of Rin, she shoulders off her leather jacket and hands it to one of the men behind her. She struts over to Rin, extending her hand for a handshake.
"Rin is it? I'm Kagura. I believe we have met before." Kagura speaks, balancing herself in her black sharp stilettos.
Rin stares at her with piercing eyes. Kagura possessed a smirk on her face but Rin couldn't find what was amusing in the situation. Her work was not only being interrupted by a stranger but someone who was lying about her personal life. As far as she was concerned, she had no intention on shaking her hand.
"I'm sorry but I don't think we have." Rin snaps back, folding her hands over her chest.
Taking the hint, Kagura pulled her hand back but still kept her composure. "Oh we have but since you feel that way, My name is Kagura Torohashi-Miyashi."
Rin rolled her eyes so hard, they could've hit the ceiling had her eyes not been in tact with her head. "Well no offense Miss Kagura but it doesn't matter who you are because you clearly aren't my aunt so please excuse me, I have to go back to my tables since there is no real emergency here."
Kagura folded her arms bucking her head back. "Well aren't you feisty? I should've known. Sesshomaru has a thing for mean chicks anyway."
Just as Rin was going to brush the lying woman off, everything began to click in her head. From her last name to the name that just came out of her mouth, she realized exactly what was going on.
"Look, I don't know what's going on but please know that and I are merely acquaintances-"
"Oh let's not do this here out in the open. I won't ask you to come with me to my limo so do you have someplace more private we can talk?"
Rin's hands were twitching at her sides. 'I really don't want to talk to this woman...Like she is seriously doing this bullshit while I'm on the clock...But if I don't talk to her, she is probably going to do something crazy if I don't cooperate...Fuck.'
"Fine. Come with me." Rin responded.
Taking Kagura to the empty break room, Rin checked the break schedule to make sure they'd have some privacy.
"Well we have about fifteen minutes by ourselves so whatever you have to say, please just make it short and sweet." Rin told her.
Kagura nodded, taking a seat on the red loveseat while her men stood at both sides of the couch. "You're not going to take a seat?" Kagura asked.
Leaning up against the wall, Rin shook her head. "No thanks, I'll stand. What do you want?"
Kagura's freshly manicured nails pushed her longf wavy hair to her exposed back. "Now Rin, I've been alive for quite some time now and you know at my age, certain things just don't go over your head like they used to. So let me ask you this, do I look dumb to you?"
Rin looked around for a moment, not sure how to respond. "Um, is that a rhetorical question or something?"
Kagura then cleared her throat and crossed her legs. "Well you don't have to answer it but please do your best not to answer me like I'm some dumb bitch, kay? Sesshomaru does it enough and I don't think I'd be able to hold myself back if someone like you does the same. Anywho, you do know Sesshomaru personally, don't you?"
Rin's eyes squinted as she readjusted herself on the wall with her arms still crossed. "Uh, I know him from some people I know but that's about it. Why?"
Kagura's smirk evaporated in seconds this time around. "Why are you lying to me?" Kagura spat.
"I'm not lying and if you think I am, then I don't know what else to tell you lady."
Kagura snapped her fingers before the suited man on her right reached into his pocket and took out a cell phone. He placed it in Kagura's hands. Kagura's fingers glided across the screen before she held the phone up. Seconds later, a loud vibration was heard in the sound deprived room. Rin's body froze as she felt the device shake against her hip. Kagura tapped the phone and the vibrating stopped. Just like that, her smirk returned to her porcelain face.
"How do you think I got your number Rin? Some beggar down the street? No, I got this number out of my husbands phone. Your number might not have been saved but it didn't take a genius to figure it out after going through the texts. Since I already established with you that I'm not some dumb bitch, let's be honest from here on out kay?" Kagura's blood was boiling but she wouldn't let Rin see. Her amusement from catching the mouse in it's own territory gave her more satisfaction than she could have hoped for. Although a small part of her was hoping that she was crazy, she felt relief to know she wasn't.
Rin pushed herself off of the wall and held her hands up. "I'm not doing this with you. Either get out or I'm getting security." She threatened.
Kagura was unmoved by her words. "Why Rin? Can't take the truth? You're a whore. You like married men. If you're gonna partake in that lifestyle, might as well be proud of it right?"
"I'm not gonna ask again, get out or I'm calling someone!"
"I've been in your shoes Rin. Trust me, it's just a lot easier to tell the truth. It's not like you're the one that had to read a bunch of sexual texts between another woman and your husband knowing that somewhere in between those messages, they linked up and fucked in the same bed our marriage was consummated in-"
"Get out!" Rin screeched.
Kagura stopped talking, and gathered her clutch in her lap. She stood from her seat, fixing her dress in the back. She walked to the door with her back to Rin and her men behind her. With one last glance back, she spoke.
"Don't get caught up in that life Rin. It's nothing but trouble. I know it may mean nothing to you, but I'm speaking from experience...current experience. Take that how you want but you won't be seeing me anyone from this point on out." With those final words, Kagura exited the room leaving Rin alone.
Just as the door shut close, Rin whipped her phone out of her pocket. Her hands were so fidgety, the phone almost slipped from her fingertips as she struggled to dial Sesshomaru's number. The frustrated tears were coming down while her hand pushed her hair back. A few seconds into the dial tone, the sound stopped and Sesshomaru's voice came through.
"Why are you calling me?" He said.
"W-why am I calling? Why am I calling? Maybe because you're a fucking liar!" Rin's mind was running a thousand miles a minute. She didn't know what to make of everything she just heard.
"What are you going on about Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, calming down after hearing her frantic tone.
"Your WIFE was just here Sesshomaru! Yup! Turns out you two are still together and she just told me everything!"
"Rin, stop it. I already told you our situation. My wife and I are bonded legally but we are separated in real life. This behavior she just displayed is one of the reasons we will be divorcing. I cannot take the lack of trust so I have been distancing myself and she knows this. She's always been malicious about the idea of us divorcing. I can't stop that. Only thing I can do is get lawyers involved. If you'd like, I can process a restraining order for you-"
"Stop it! Stop it right now! You're always feeding me shit I want to hear! I fucking lied thinking she was crazy but turns out she had my number Sesshomaru! If you two aren't together, how the hell did she get it?!" Rin thanked the heavens Sesshomaru wasn't in front of her because she was sure she just might have done something she would have regretted.
Sesshomaru paused. "I...I honestly have no idea how she would have gotten in. We don't even sleep in the same house anymore."
"Oh, I'm just supposed to believe that lie too huh?"
"Rin, I hate repeating myself but I'm going to say this once more because I care. I have divorce papers that I haven't served to her yet because Kagura is not mentally stable right now. I can send you a picture of it if you don't believe me or better yet, I'll send you a car to bring you to me and I can show you the papers. If you want to believe Kagura over me after I already told you what's she capable of, then I have no problem deleting you from my life Rin. Just let me know."
As if her voice had been ripped from her throat, nothing but whimpers escaped her mouth. She was confused, and didn't know who to believe.
"Rin, I need you to answer me." Sesshomaru spoke out.
And just like she knew she would, she blindly let her animosity go. "Okay," She said. "I'll see you tonight. No more lies."
"I'd never do that." Sesshomaru hung up, immediately getting on another phone call afterwards. He had a lot of damage control to do.
Pulling on the side of her neck, she made sure the material was fastened to the side of her collar bone before pulling her red blazer back over her shoulders. Checking her watch, she made note that the woman was fashionably late but could only hope that she would show up. Just as she pulled out her phone to shoot her a text, the door knob shook before a face revealed itself from behind the door. Soon after, an enlarged baby bump followed suit, not getting past the eyes of the already seated woman.
"Hi! I'm sorry I'm late. Traffic was super bad from my way coming." She explained.
Her enriched brown hair hung loosely around her torso with a neatly cut bang to hide her rather large forehead. Scanning the rest of her, she noticed how curvy the woman was as well. She didn't expect any less from the man that knocked her up. The woman sat on the other end of the round wooden table, helping herself to one of the candies out of the bowl in the middle.
"I'm glad you made it Ms...Tsubaki was it?" She asked, wanting to make sure she had the right snow haired woman.
Not even bothering to pay attention, the woman sat back on her phone with her other hand rubbing gently across her belly. The only other sound in the room was of her popping gum in her mouth. She was sure if Tsubaki chewed any louder, cows in the field would soon become jealous.
"Yeah, that's me. Why am I here? I thought Inutaisho needed me." She snobbishly replied.
Clearly her throat, she spoke as clear as possible. "Well I just thought that we'd at least exchange names first. My name's Jennifer and I am one of Inutaisho's new assistants-"
"Ugh! Another one? What the hell happened to Beverly? Is he fucking you too?! I'm getting so sick and tired of him having a brand new bitch every damn week and labeling them as an assistant!" Tsubaki ranted.
Jennifer fixed herself in her seat, rubbing along the lines of her collar. 'So he was messing around with Beverly too huh? Well thanks for confirming my suspicions Tsubaki. Wonder how many more he has under the rug...'
"Ahem, well what my boss does with his personal affairs is none of my business but I can tell you that I am not one of them. Our relationship is strictly business, which is why you are here today. He has informed me that his wife has been on high alert lately and he can no longer risk going out on his own to meet you." Her freshly eyelined eyes watched for Tsubaki's reaction, waiting for the dozens of questions to follow but none came.
"Oh, the dumb bitch has finally caught on huh? I told him that would happen but nope, just kept on throwing himself out there. I mean like you get where I'm coming from right? If someone is gonna cheat and keep it a secret, being out in public is not very secretive but whatever. Why couldn't he just call me though?"
Pulling a thin folder from her black laptop bag, she opened it to find the papers she needed. "Well Tsubaki, as I said, his wife is on high alert. She's even been checking phone records and every single phone he has in his name. Going forward, I will be the middle person regarding your meet ups and communications. From now on, you have to contact me first and then I can transfer you to a party line straight to him so that the phone number recorded is in my name and not his."
Tsubaki grabbed another piece of gum from the bowl and threw it into her mouth. "Yeah well whatever. I'm pretty sure him being a lawyer and all, he probably just sent you to give me more legal stuff right?"
Jennifer tilted the side of her sun hat at the question. "Oh you've done this before?"
Tsubaki nodded with a subtle eye roll. "Yeah, nothing new. He's always trying to cover his ass, never can take accountability, the usual...and you can tell him I said it. He can't do shit about it now that I'm carrying this baby."
She shifted her eyebrows up. "Well then I'll just summarize what's written in these long packets. This one here..." She handed her a stack of papers. "These state that you understand you're not supposed to reveal any information regarding anything to do with his name and whatnot. An I'll keep my mouth shut type of agreement unless told otherwise. This is just to protect him against any malicious allegations made."
Tsubaki took the pen beside the bowl and signed the papers before listening to anything Jennifer had to say. She slid the paper back to her, clicking the pen. "I've been through this shit already. I don't get why he wants me to do all this."
Jennifer nodded. "I understand M'am. Please just understand that Inutaisho says he cannot have anything to do with you unless you sign these agreements."
"Yeah, I know. He's so damn stubborn."
"Well these next papers are a pictures of possible engagements rings along with a list of baby names for you to pick out and get back to me on-"
"What?! He's actually doing it now? Ohmygosh! Lemme see!" She jumped up and down in her seat reaching across the table for the pictures.
Jennifer handed them to her to have them snatched out of her hand. She grimaced at the excitement, telling herself that she'd only have to deal with this for another hour. She was finding it harder to keep her composure the longer time went on.
"Oh these are gorgeous!" Tsubaki fawned over the photos. "I've been asking him for so long about this and now he's finally doing it! Wait...so this also means he's divorcing that slut monkey Izayoi? Yes!"
Jennifer cleared her throat again., twitching her head slightly. "Um, slut monkey? Isn't that a bit bizarre to call her? No offense to my boss but isn't he the one cheating on her?"
Tsubaki flipped her hands in the air. "Oh girl no! You aren't Beverly I see. She had all the tea. She's told me about all the fucked up things that woman has done to him. Inutaisho trusted her with so much information, I don't know why he would let her go but I'll just ask him later." She paused to inhale and take a breath from talking so fast.
"Anyway, she's literally locked him out of all his bank accounts before, took all his debit cards like I thought I was a money hungry little bitch but she really took the cake and there was nothing he could do because her name was cosigned on the accounts too. Like he is the breadwinner of the household meanwhile she is so stuck on getting paid for less at a failing business while her husband struggles to pay the bills. Then she's always on the phone with other men while he's around and it's so disrespectful! If I had a man that rich, I would be bowing down at his feet everyday! That's why he's so drawn to me, I'm spunky but I know my place-"
SNAP
The pen snapped in half under the table, echoing across the room and interrupting Tsubaki. Jennifer, fixed her glasses, trying to then rub the black ink off on her black skirt.
"Oh pardon me, I was holding the uh...pen the wrong way." She tried to cover up her actions, throwing the pen into her bag.
"Girl be more careful...Anyway, like I said, I'm just so happy Inutaisho finally realized that I'm the one for him. I literally let him do whatever he wants as long as he comes home to me. I don't even mind if he invites anyone to our bedroom. I don't get why his wife can't just suck it up and do everything to make him happy. It's so sad she's wasting his time like this."
Jennifer put the papers back into her bag, securing them away from the splattered pen.
"Well Tsubaki, please allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment. If she has to make him happy, shouldn't he also have to make her happy? Closing out the banks I get sounds a little extreme but what did she purchase if she was so money hungry? Whose to say the men she speaks to aren't colleagues? Who knows if she entered the relationship expecting a monogamous marriage. I'm not defending her, I'm just saying these are things to think about."
Tusbaki shrugged. "Its whatever, I'll be taking her place soon so it doesn't matter. I can give him everything he wants and I can finally meet his sons! I'll be the stepmommy I've always wanted to be. Life is looking so good right now."
Jennifer pushed a button on her phone, triggering the vibration. She held a finger up to signal Tsubaki to hold on. "Hello?...Yes sir, she's with me...Right now?...I mean, I'm not busy at this moment but I did have an appointment soon-β¦No I can bring her. I'll just come right now. We've finished all the legalities...Yesβ¦.Yes...Alright, Bye."
She put her phone in her blazer pocket, grabbed her bag and stood up waving for Tsubaki to follow. "Come, Inutaisho said to bring you now because he just got his wife out of the house for a few hours."
Tsubaki jumped up with photos still in hand, gazing over the enlarged jewels. She followed behind Jennifer to a black 2011 Honda civic. She plopped down in the passenger seat while Jennifer took the wheel. The drive was a half an hour but once they reached the residence, Jennifer pushed a button to activate the underground garage. Once she pulled in, she reached into her pocket and handed Tsubaki another piece of gum with a wink.
"I noticed you like gum so I thought I'd give you another piece."
"Oh thank you!" She grabbed the gum enthusiastically and threw it into her mouth.
Jennifer went to the other side to help Tsubaki out of the car. She led her through the door in the back, allowing her to walk in front of her so she could lock the garage door behind her. Tsubaki made herself at home, exploring the familiar setting. She threw her purse onto the table, looking at the chandelier above it. Just as she looked up, her head began to feel fuzzy and light.
Placing a hand on her forehead, she sat down in the chair to try and stable herself but to no avail found herself still wobbling from side to side. Jennifer came in shortly after. Noticing her presence, Tsubaki called out for her.
"Hey Jen, I don't feel so good. I'm like really light headed. I think something might be wrong with the baby. I need to go to the hospital."
But there was no response from Jen. Tsubaki opened her eyes to blurry vision but could clearly make out Jennifer standing in front of her.
"Don't just stand there idiot! Do something!" She held her stomach with her other hand trying to sooth her sickened body.
Jennifer reach over her collar bone, peeling off the tight face mask. As the sticky solution slowly revealed her face, she let out a sigh of relief. "Ya know Tsubaki, I've been waiting to do that since I had Roberto put that stupid thing on me."
Tsubaki stood up, stumbling heavily from side to side as Jennifer watched. "I need to...I nee too..." Her voice trailed off.
That's when Jennifer held her around the shoulders and pulled her face upwards to look at her. For a split second, her vision focused as she now recognized the new face that was in front of her.
"Hi, I'm Izayoi, the dumb bitch. Nice to meet you." She let go and Tsubaki passed out on the floor.
Scratching through her head, she left to grab a bottle of wine from her fridge. As she poured a glass, she let out a cackling laugh.
"Oh Tsubaki, just to think I almost spared you. You really should keep your mouth shut next time."
Slowly following behind Kouga, Naraku kept his eyes on his phone. He had been occasionally texting Shippo and a few others throughout the day but managed to keep in contact mostly with Kouga until they met up. Naraku had been relaxing in their living room when Kouga was preparing to head out. Naraku then took the initiative to ask if he could tag along as he had an idea of where Kouga was going.
Once the two arrived at the fraternity house, Kouga shot someone a text to be let in. Moments later, a tall pale male opened the door pointing behind him to let Kouga know where his friend was. As Kouga walked by him, he dapped him up while Naraku merely kept his hands in his pocket and on his phone. He had no intentions on making acquaintances with anyone there.
Out of the corner of his eye, Naraku saw the stairs as he caught a whiff of something familiar. As Kouga was making small talk nearby, Naraku took the opportunity to excuse himself to use the bathroom.
"Um, excuse me. I gotta use the bathroom. Where is it?" He asked cutting off Kouga's friend.
"Sure man, it's upstairs directly to your left, can't miss it." He told him.
Naraku nodded and headed up the stairs and avoiding the left direction all together. Once he reached the top of the stairs, he stood still listening in on those nearby. The rooms sounded empty for the most part so Naraku helped himself to opening the door the smell was coming from. He made sure to go back and shut the bathroom door before shutting himself in the room across from it. The room was a mess, but it didn't take long for him to get his hands on for what he came for. Covering his tracks, he threw something in the room before jetting back down the stairs.
He walked up to the duo with his hand over his stomach. He tapped Kouga on the shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"Just threw up so I'm gonna head back."
Kouga's eyes widened for a second. "Your golden immune system finally fucking up eh? I told you before we left if you weren't feeling too well you didn't have to come."
Naraku shook his head. "Yes, you're right. Thanks anyway for having me." Naraku faked a smile to the two of them before turning on his heel and getting out just as fast as he came in.
The next day arrived and Shippo had been feeling slightly better enough to go to his classes. Agreeing to study with Kagome, the duo spent their afternoon cooped up in her room with papers all over the place. While Shippo was busy studying over his english work, Kagome busied herself with math papers. The same ones that she forgot to get help from Inuyasha with.
Sitting on the floor in her duck pajamas, and hair thrown up into an uneven ponytail courtesy of Shippo after he saw how much her hair was stressing her out, she quickly flipped between several papers at a time trying to make sense of the gibberish. As he memorized terms he'd need to remember, he glanced back over at his friend to see her squinting as hard as possible at the white material.
"Girl, no matter how much you squint, the words on the paper ain't gone change." He informed her.
She huffed her breath, groaning in frustrating and slapping the paper down in front of her. "I know, I know. It's just this has been my hardest subject so far and I feel like I've learned hardly anything."
He cozied himself under her blanket. "Well maybe had you not been on the phone all night, you could've been studying."
She cocked her head up at him roughly, giving him the death stare of a lifetime. "Okay, even if I wasn't on the phone with Inuyasha, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. I'm still dumb."
He had to give her the side eye with that one but decided on leaving the topic of her and her boy toy alone. "Yeah, yeah bitch, whatever. Anywho, did I tell you what about what that man had the nerve to text me?"
Kagome could only imagine what he had to say. "No, what happened?"
He clapped his hands together. "Alright, so after I showed you his snaps or whatever, he gone text me talking bout some 'why won't you answer me' like he not all on snap showing off his fake ass bisexuality. He know where I'm at and he ain't knock on that door once so as far as I'm concerned, he don't give a fuck and he can feel that way cause imma feel that way too."
Kagome swung her head back and forth in disagreement but she knew she'd never get him to see things her way. "I don't know Shippo. You seem awfully concerned to me." Of course, her inner thoughts had a hard time catching her lips before something escaped from them.
Shippo jerked his shoulder at her, sucking his teeth. "Girla, ain't nobody worried bout that man. He can suck an aids infested dick for all I care."
"Yeah but-"
AHAHAHAHAHA!
Just as Kagome had begun talking, an echo of loud laughter erupted from the other side of the wall collecting the attention of both students. Shippo pursed his lips together.
"Bitch, I forgot this hoe lived next to you. How the hell out of everyone in this school do you get placed next to her?"
Kagome slowly moved her head from side to side. "That I do not know Shippo. Maybe she made her last neighbor move out because they couldn't stand living next to her."
At this point, Kagome had grown used to living next to the woman she hated. As far as she was concerned, she had nothing else to say to Kikyo. She had fought her on two occasions and felt no need to do anymore physical damage. The girl clearly didn't care about getting beat up since she still continued to talk and say whatever she wanted.
Shippo unraveled himself from Kagome's blanket, to get up and go to the mini fridge. Initially feeling parched, he searched for some juice but his eyes landed on something even better. With a gleam in his eye, he turned to Kagome with a crooked smile on his face. Feeling like someone was staring at her, she looked to see Shippo's expression which she returned with a half-lidded look on her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked, wondering what could be going through his mind now.
Shippo's hand slowly revealed the whip cream as he pointed to the wall where laughter could still be heard from. Realizing what he was getting at, Kagome poked her back down at her work, ignoring his advances. Seeing her reluctance, he crawled over to her.
"Come on Kagome!" He whined, shaking the side of her arm. "She not gonna do nothing! She pussy!"
Kagome snatched her arm out of his grasps, keeping her eyes peeled on her math equations. "No Shippo! One, I really need to study for this and two, that's bullying!"
Shippo almost fell down on his bottom hearing her words. "What?! Since when did giving a bully a taste of their own medicine become a bad thing?"
"Shippo," Kagome looked up at him. "I don't care for that woman but I'm not gonna go out of my way to make her life miserable. I'm sorry but I'm not as petty as you and Naraku."
Shippo held his clawed hand close to his heart. "You sure? Because you damn sure had no problem getting back at Inuyasha the petty way when you was all up in Muso's DM's-"
"Why do you always bring that up? You claim you and him aren't even that close so why do you care?" Kagome snapped, causing Shippo to cock his head even more.
"Girl, all I'm saying is you have no problem letting Inuyasha know you not the one so why can't you do the same to Kikyo?"
"Because everything I've done to Inuyasha was me getting back at him. I've already gotten back at Kikyo so I'm not gonna go looking for drama."
Shippo rolled his eyes, and put the whip cream back in the fridge. "Fine, you're so boring though. It would've been nice to spice this up a bit since studying isn't the funnest to do."
Shippo returned to his spot on the bed, going over his own work and the room was quiet again. All until Kagome's phone began to vibrate. Not bothering to pay attention to it, Kagome's hands worked on her paper as she finally began to understand one of the equations that had been giving her the most problems. Shippo peeked over to see who was calling and he instantly clocked the caller ID.
"BITCH! Boo thang is calling!" He screamed as if she wasn't next to him.
Kagome jumped up, snatching the phone from Shippo's hands while she pinched her eyes in his direction. Not that it mattered to him since he was giggling like an excited school girl at her irritation.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hi beautiful. How are you?" Inuyasha's voice said from the other end.
"I'm fine, just working on some math problems right now. Well, more like struggling but I'm making due." She explained.
"Well, you sound a bit tired already and its only like three in the afternoon now."
"Yeah, I know. I told you already this math shit was hard." As Kagome got to the last part of the equation, she froze trying to remember which number was the correct one to plug in.
"And I already told you I got you whenever you're ready but that's not what I called for."
"Well what did you call for?"
"Just be ready at six and I'll come get you. We'll find out together." He responded, amusement tainted all in voice.
Her face turned slightly sour. "Now Inuyasha, I can't be out late like that. I really can't afford to fuck up this mid-term."
"I know love, I won't keep you out late. Promise. It's just a small little outing. You'll like it." He still pressured on.
She hesitated, looking up at Shippo's duck lipped face. She knew her answer was going to warrant his mouth in a second.
Letting out a loud audible sight, she gave in. "Fine but please no funny stuff."
"Got it. Later love."
"Bye Inuyasha." She sung to him before hanging up.
Right on cue, Shippo started teasing her. "Oh damn! When it's me you gotta study, but Inuyasha get a whole date and shit? I see how it is Kagome, I see how it is!" He clapped in between each syllable, not even trying to contain his laughter.
"Yeah, yeah. Get it out because I already knew you were gonna say something smart. I know you heard me tell him I can't be out late."
"Girl you ain't coming back, you better go on and pack yourself an overnight bag right now." Shippo told her, not bothering to believe a word she said.
"No Shippo. He's not even coming until six anyway so that still gives me three more hours to go over some more stuff-hey! Get out of my drawers!"
Shippo found a medium sized tote-bag sitting in her closet and helped himself to picking out a pair of underwear and panties to go inside sparking a surprised reaction from Kagome. Once again as always, he paid her little attention as he went through her pajamas to find her something cute to wear.
"No bitch of mine is spending the night with a man in some ugly clothes hoe. Just let me find all your cute stuff." He insisted.
She stood up trying to stop him from touching her clothing. "Shippo, I said no!"
The two played tug-of-war with the bag for a few minutes before a pillow fight broke out. In a fit of giggles, Kagome did her best to block Shippo's hits but his knowledge and skill quickly overpowered her as she fell butt first onto her bed.
"Okokok!" She put her hands up in defeat. "I'll pack one just to make you happy but I'm not using it!" She warned him.
Squealing in delight, he skipped back over to her dresser, twerking his way down as he looked through her drawers. Kagome gave him an over exaggerated eye roll. She used to always stay away from people as loud and extra as Shippo but here she was being bestfriends with the likes of him.
'Oh how the tables have turned...' She thought to herself.
Not before long, five-thirty rolled around and while Kagome was still plopped on the floor surrounded by dozens of papers, Shippo was helping himself put an outfit together for her. He found a few pieces that he liked and placed them over her fluffy pink blanket on the bed. Having everything in front of him made it easier for him to see what would be best for her to wear. The forecast said it was a chance of rain in the night but at the time, the sky was clear and it felt relatively nice outside.
"How are you wearing your hair girl?" He asked her, hoping an idea of her hair would make it easier.
She shrugged. "I don't know. I'm probably just going to take it out of this ponytail and wear it down. Nothing too fancy because I don't even know where he's taking me."
He clapped his hands together. "Well then...I got it! You can wear this sky blue long sleeved crop top here because it is a little warm outside now but just in case it rains, you can wear these skinny jeans with it."
Pulling all of the clothing items away that didn't make the cut, he let his eyes wander to her shoes. Instantly, he noticed a pair of black wedges he'd seen her in before.
"You gotta wear these wedges too girl." He told her, throwing them out of her closet.
Feeling her brain fry several times over, she put all of her papers away and back into her folder. "Shippo, I'm already tall enough. If I wear those, I'm probably going to be the same height as him."
Shippo looked around for a moment trying to find her point. "Um...okay? And?"
"I haven't really worn my tallest heels around him because every time, I'm almost as tall as him. No guy really finds that cute."
Shippo grimaced. "Girl! If he don't find it cute, then he can go on somewhere. It's not like you're taller than him without them and even if you were, that's not your problem. If he can't accept you, then he don't deserve you period! So put these bomb ass heels on and strut your stuff!" He gave her an entire pep talk just to make her wear a pair of wedges but although Kagome wouldn't admit it, she did appreciate it.
"Whatever."
Shippo helped her get dressed quickly so that he could do her face for her since she wasn't doing much with her hair. All she wanted was eyeliner and lipstain so he hooked her up with his best cat eye winged liner, and red ruby lip. Not paying too much attention to the time, when Shippo was finished, Kagome's phone began to buzz again. Shippo handed her the phone as she knew who it was.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hey, I'm outside. Did you get my text?" He asked her.
Before answering him, she pulled the phone away from her head to see the message notification at the top of her screen. The time was ten minutes past six. She played it off nonetheless.
"Yeah, I did. Sorry I didn't reply, Shippo wanted to do my makeup so I had my eyes closed. I'm coming out right now."
She threw on her wedges, and diamond stud earrings before giving Shippo a quick hug as she flew out the door with both purse and overnight bag in hand. Once outside, she noticed Inuyasha's car in the front of the parking lot with his hazard lights on. When he saw he coming towards his car, he stepped out to give her a hug and open her door. As she sat down and cozied herself in the car, he got back in the driver's side and took off.
"Someone's a little tall today I see." He pointed out with an amused tone.
She rubbed the back of her neck while holding her bags still in her lap. "Yeah, sorry about it. Shippo would not let me leave the house in anything but these shoes. He can be really extra when he wants to."
"Nothing to be sorry about. They look nice on you." He complimented her.
She laughed trying to shake some of the nervousness she felt off. "Thank you but I mean, I'm pretty much as tall as you now."
Inuyasha held back a smirk that threatened its way onto his face. He could only shake his head at the memories. "Oh Kagome, if only you knew. Maybe I'll tell you the story one day."
"What story? I like stories. Tell me now."
"You sure?"
"Definitely."
Inuyasha glanced down at the GPS. They weren't too far from the destination so decided to cut the story short enough to last throughout the rest of the car ride.
"Well, I told you before. I wasn't all that back in high school till maybe around Junior year when I finally got some damn height on me. It was a weird transition because I was lanky as short person and being taller made it worse so I was basically forced to take my ass to the gym but anyway. Even before I glowed up or whatever, I still thought I was the shit so I although I had short hoes, I would always go after taller girls because I thought that made me look better than all those dudes that used to start shit with me. Shit, it made them mad because none of them really knew how to handle tall girls and long story short, my ego was sky high due to all the tall girls I used to mess with."
As he told the story, Kagome sat in awestruck. She was beginning to question if there anything Inuyasha hadn't experienced.
He continued on as he saw her wowed expression. "Yeah, I know but I mean they weren't ugly or anything like that. They were just tall. Honestly in my opinion, I prefer taller women because I hate breaking my neck to kiss shorter girls. Also because all the tall girls I've touched are a lot more receptive. Have you ever been picked up Kagome?"
She took a moment to think before responding. "Now that I think of it, not really. I was always scared Kouga would drop me so I told him he could only pick me up by my waist."
Inuyasha nodded. "Exactly. All of the taller women I've dated are almost always like that. Short girls be used to it but tall girls aren't so it's almost always like a new experience to them. Anyway, back to the point, I'm just saying that you don't have to worry about being too tall. It's not like I already don't have a preference for them."
She gently brushed her hair behind her ears, smiling from relief at his words. "Well as long as you don't think I look like the iron giant or something."
He let out a deep chuckle. "Never that. Now that I think about it though, all my ex-girlfriends were short as fuck. Maybe that's why it never worked out. Now I know." He joked.
She rolled her eyes playfully as Inuyasha pulled into the parking lot of an unfamiliar place. She had seen people walking in and out as she tried to find a name on the place.
"Inuyasha what is this?" She asked him.
"I told you love, it's a surprise. One of my friends from class hooked me up with a private session for the both of us but she said she could only do it while one of her other late night sessions was going on."
"Uh...late night private session for what?" She asked again wanting to know where he had taken her.
"Just come on." He told her.
Inuyasha grabbed her hand to help her out of the car. After he locked his vehicle, he kept his fingers intertwined with hers to help her keep her balance in the tall shoes. Walking into the place, Inuyasha checked in with the receptionist letting him know the class he was there for. She directed the two of them upstairs to the first door on the right. Taking her time, Kagome slowly followed behind, making sure her ankles stayed balanced.
Inuyasha held the door open for her letting her go first. The two saw a group of people in smocks walk inside a room. As the group of people disappeared one by one inside, a woman with long straight blue hair pulled back and tucked behind her ears immersed from the room, Inuyasha recognized her.
"Toran!" He called out to her happily.
Taking notice in his presence, she gave her friend and Kagome a smile. "Hey there! I was beginning to wonder if you still were gonna show up or not. I'm assuming this is the lovely friend you told me about."
Before Kagome could properly introduce herself, Inuyasha did it for her. "Yeah, this is Kagome, my girlfriend."
Toran's face lit up as her eyes widened. "What?! You were for real? I thought I'd never see you off the market."
Inuyasha playfully pretended to be offended. "Ugh! I wasn't that bad."
"Oh yes you were. I'm not even surprised that it took the prettiest girl on campus to get you to settle down either. I'd love to chat but I do have a class to tend to so I'll get you guys started and then I gotta get back to them. Sounds good?"
The two nodded before following Toran to the room across from where everyone else had entered. Inside was a room with two easels and tons of panting supplies laid out on a table in between them. Feeling excitement bubble up within her stomach, she pinched her lips together trying not to seem too child like in the fact that they were going ot be painting.
Toran dimmed the lights a little just as Inuyasha requested before giving them the run down.
"Normally I don't do private sessions during the week but your boyfriend here convinced me to at least let him borrow a room while I work with other people. I almost said no till he put cash in my hand so feel free to use whatever supplies you see fit. We have aprons and whatnot if you don't want to get your clothes messy. If you need to leave early, just lock the door behind yourselves but if not, I'll see you two in the next hour or two." She rushed over everything trying to get back to her class as quick as possible. Once she was done, she shut the door and left the two students alone.
As they sat down in the stools in front of their blank canvases, Kagome needed a moment to gather herself and collect all of the information she had just received.
"A painting date? I've never been on one of these before. Let me guess, you took all of your hoes here before?" She asked half jokingly as she seriously wanted to know.
"No. I've never been here either. We were just talking in class today and she told me about a studio she runs nearby and I thought it would be something different for the both of us to try out."
"Aww, aren't you romantic." She teased him.
"Shut up."
Carrying light conversation, both Inuyasha and Kagome shared stories from their younger days while painting away. They decided on slanting their boards away from one another so that they could do a final reveal at the end. Even another bet was made as the loser had to be subjected to ice cubes being thrown down their shirt later. Somewhere in the middle, words from both of them had ceased. Kagome was concentrating on her art while Inuyasha had been concentrating on something else.
He had taken subtle glances at her, observing her for seconds at a time but her focus allowed him to be able to stare at her for as long as he wanted without being spotted. To him, Kagome looked best when she was sitting down because it showed just flushed out her thighs actually were. Miroku used to always tease him since he always would pay attention to a girl's legs as opposed to heading straight for her butt and thighs. Even his mother would shame him from time to time on the type of girls he liked but he couldn't help it.
Not realizing it, his body took a mind of its own, quietly removing itself from the chair. He came up behind her and slid his arms around her waist and nuzzling his face into her neck. As she initially felt his hands, she froze but relaxed once she felt his warm embrace take over her completely. She sat the paint brush down so that she could hold his hands as he held her.
Forgetting that the painting existed, he trailed his mouth up against her neck until he reached her mouth. Taking her lips in his, he kissed her gently wanting her to feel his every movement. While his lips were busy, his hands began to rise from her mid-section into her shirt. Firmly grabbing at her breasts, a drawn out moan escaped from her lips. Although it was only loud enough for him to hear, it was more than enough to draw in attention from his lower region. No longer wanting to be behind her, he picked up bridal style before placing her on the art supplies table in between them.
On instinct, she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck to bring him in closer to her. The gentle kisses between grew more ferocious by the second. What started out as innocent touches transformed into lustful grasps. Her hands became tangled in his white mane while he couldn't keep his hands off of her ass. His dick was screaming out but he knew better than to whip it out in the setting they were in. The best he could do to keep it under wraps was to thrust his waist right into hers and that's exactly what he did.
Pressed up against him from below, Kagome's minded clouded only with thoughts of the man giving her body the business. Just when she thought it couldn't get any better, she could feel one of his hands leave her bottom and trail its way onto the waistband on her jeans. Pulling away from mouth, he slowly stuck his tongue out stroking it roughly against her neck. The existing heat between her legs doubled in force as the hotspot on her neck screamed at the amount of attention he was giving it.
He chuckled heavily from the crook of her neck. "Someone like's that huh?" His voice was low and heavy as he picked on the already semi-hazed woman.
She groaned in response, unable to come up with words at the moment. The most she could make out was two consecutive noises which sounded as if she was saying "yes."
He pursed his lips to suck just above her collar bone, making sure he did so lightly to not leave any marks. His ears perked up, twitching at the amount of noise she was making which showed signs of getting louder by the second.
"Heh, you're lucky bloody mary is here or that pussy would have been mine because got damn you look good today." He breathed out, pulling his lips away from her chest to come for her lips again.
Her hands managed to stay in place for the while Inuyasha was having his way with her but as he made her body buzz in delight, she decided to let her hands do some exploring of their own. Ever since she laid eyes on the body that is Inuyasha's, she couldn't stop dreaming about it. Granted, she'd seen plenty of muscles before but with Inuyasha, she thought his body could have only been sculpted by the gods because of how perfectly structured he was. Letting her arms fall from inside his hair, she traced along each on his abs, lightly squeezing them with her fingertips.
Even though it was his idea, he was soon beginning to regret the decision. All he wanted at the moment was to have some quality alone time with her and here he was lavishing all over her in all of the areas of her body he was allowed to visit. After watching her strut her hips towards his car, he knew that it would take a lot of restraint to keep his hands off of her but this time, Kagome had no complaints. She was all for him and he was all for her.
The two continued feeling all over each other for a few more minutes until Kagome pulled away.
"Babe this is nice and all but aren't we supposed to be painting?" She moaned out, trying to keep focused on her point.
As her shirt was up and Inuyasha was lapping his tongue over her breasts, he almost missed her words due to being entranced by his own raging hormones that she set on fire.
"Yeah, I know." He admitted, still not taking his mouth from her.
Shaking her head, she tried to snap out of it the best she could. She grabbed her shirt and pulled it down forcing Inuyasha to have to back off of her. Looking up at her, he watched her turn her eyes to avoid his alluring gaze. He already knew how he looked and that she couldn't take it but he knew even more that he brought her here to paint, not to fuck around.
Batting his eyes around, he gave in, slowly removing his hands from her lower half. "Fine love. We can get back to painting..." His voice trailed off as a bright idea went off in his head. "Well...on one condition."
Fixing herself, she stood up from the table. "And that would be?" She asked, curious in his thinking.
The next thing she knew, Inuyasha took off his shirt completely and was moving her aside so that he could spread himself across the table. Once he was fully on his back, he put his hands up behind his head to rest on and stared Kagome in the face.
"Well my dear, I'm waiting." He told her with a cocky smile.
She put both of her hands on her hips. "Now you can't be serious."
"I sure am. Get to painting miss." He demanded, handing her a paint palette.
She gave him an exhausted look before a laugh escaped her lips. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist how much fun he was to be around. She snatched the palette deciding that she would use her fingers to paint over him. As she touched down on his skin with black paint, his stomach shook a little which in turn made her pull back.
"Oh, is it too cold?" She asked in concern.
He merely shook his no. "Nah, you're just funny to watch. It's just painting. What are you acting so scared for?"
"I am not scared!" She stomped her foot, getting defensive.
Inuyasha had watched her hand shakily press against him as if she was afraid to touch him the wrong way. No matter how hard she tried to convince him of anything, he knew body language was always a lot more telling in some people than others and Kagome to him was definitely one of those people. For her sake, he'd let her have her way this time.
"Fine, if you say so." He said.
Kagome returned to rubbing his torso down with paint. This time, she came forward a lot more bold like, doing her best to mask her inner anxiety. As she traced her fingers through his abs muscles, she could feel his intense gaze on her.
"What do you do for fun Kagome?" Inuyasha asked randomly.
She glanced upwards, thinking for a moment of her normal hobbies. "Uh, well I actually don't do much now that I think about it. I am a little popular on facebook so from time to time I make videos and stuff but other than that, not much really."
Kagomes fingers brushing against his skin was bliss to his vibes. He closed his eyes, taking all of her motions in. "I'm sure you know how to do more than that." He pressured her on.
Again, she looked up trying to think of other things that peaked her interests. "Well I suck ass at cooking, and I'm not that good with puzzled but if I had to list anything else, I'd say I'm pretty decent at first person shooter games."
His eyes snapped open. "Uh, repeat that again." He said, not believing his ears.
"First person shooter games. Ya know, like modern warfare and shit. I don't do it often but to get my brother to stop being so loud in the night, I would have to crush his ego a few times by being better than him."
He laughed in disbelief. "Well I'll be damned. I never took you as the type to like stuff like that. Guess you really shouldn't just a book by it's cover."
"Well I never took you as the desperate type to get busy with a girl on her period but hey, you proved me wrong too sir." She teased back still not letting what he told her go.
"Oh shutup, it was only a few times." He defended himself. "I'm pretty sure you have some dirty secrets of you own my dear."
A devilish smile spread across her face. "None that I'd ever tell you."
Inuyasha closed his eyes again. "Come on. Don't be that way. I know you have at least one juicy secret you can spare."
Kagome thought about it. Yes there was a dozen things she could say but she wasn't sure if it's something you should say to someone you're majorly crushing on.
"Well I do have one I'm not so proud of...but you can't say anything or tell anyone or else I'll beat your ass!" She threatened.
"You have my word. Now spill." He wanted to hear just what did his innocent angel had to tell him that could make him change his mind about.
"Well there was this one time that me and Kouga was you know...doing stuff. He asked me to do something I already told him no to but I don't know what was with me this day. Long story short, I agreed and backed out at the last minute." She tried to vaguely tell the story but this didn't slide by Inuyasha too easily.
"Now Kagome, you know you have to actually tell me what you did right?"
She shook her hands, trying to loosen her nerves. "Ok...but seriously though. Don't make fun of me for this."
He opened one of his eyes to look at the girl holding her own paint stained hands. "I won't, now just say it."
She took a deep breath, feeling the butterflies come in as she inhaled and still flying around as she exhaled. "He asked me to suck his ball and I told him yes for the one time but then as my tongue touched one, I got grossed out and backed off. The whole mood was killed and I made him take me home afterwards." She sped through hoping he could barely understand her gut wrenching confession but unfortunately thanks to the dog ears on top of his head, he understood everything loud and clear.
He held a hand over his mouth to hold back the laughter as Kagome looked like she was going to pass out from saying everything and he didn't want to scare her off. Not being able to hold it all back for too long, he felt the rumble in his body and the laughter shaking through him after.
"Oh my goodness! Kagome really?" He said through the laughter.
Unbeknownst to Kagome, there were a multitude of reasons Inuyasha was laughing. He not only was in disbelief that she herself would try something like that yet alone with Kouga but also that she thought that was a huge disgusting secret when he'd known many girls to engage in such an act. Her reaction to even licking something that wasn't a penis amused Inuyasha greatly and he felt that he wouldn't get another laugh out for the day that could out do the one he was letting out.
"I know, it was really weird. That's why I stopped. Even though I was dating him, that haunted me all the way up until I put my mouth on you."
Wiping the tears from his eyes, he finally calmed down after laughing non stop for five minutes straight. "Oh shit, that was a good one...but wait, your mouth on me?" He was confused as to what she was referencing too.
She pulled her stool from the canvas so that she could sit in front of him. "Yeah, I've brushed my teeth twice a day ever since then but now because I've touched your uh person down there, I feel like my mouth has been cleansed. I know, it's a fucked up way to look at it. I've never told any of my friends about that and I thought that moment was gonna haunt me forever."
"Oh goodness. So my dick cured you from licking Kouga's balls?" He asked with a small chuckle.
"Yup." She answered. "Now, let me get back to painting you. I'm almost done anyway."
She got up from her stool to grab the water from the table. As she leaned over Inuyasha's body, she realized just how much her butt was poking out.
'Why not Kagome. You only live once, might as well have some fun.' She thought to herself.
Pulling back, she twirled around pretending she accidentally dropped one of the paint pots. Inuyasha had been watching her to see what she dropped but wasn't ready for when she dramatically dropped down to a squat to pick up the container and arch her back as she worked her way back up. The show was only beginning as she flipped her hair and switched her hips slowly as she walked back towards his torso. Then in one swift motion, she threw her leg over his waist and climbed atop of him, shaking her hair in every direction.
"Am I sexy yet Inuyasha?" She said amusingly enjoying the over the top act she was putting on.
He couldn't even answer her. Instead, he just continued laughing as pushed on in giving him the weirdest lap dance he had ever received. It was odd to him but he found her quirkiness attractive in the best way possible so it turned him regardless of her actually trying or not.
She rested her palms flat on his abdomen, using her arms to push her breasts together. With paint still on her hands, she smeared them upwards as she lowered her face to his who had still been chuckling at her performance. She ended the show with a kiss his lips. She had been trying to avoid getting paint on herself but his lips were worth it to her just this one time.
As the two became enticed with one another again, Inuyasha began thinking about where he'd have to take her in the next one or so.
"Love, come home with me tonight." He said in between their kisses.
"Mmm, why?" She asked although she had a pretty solid idea of what she was planning on doing.
"I just wanna be near you is all. Please?" He asked again.
"Fine, just help me with some math, and I'm all yours for the night." She gave in.
Inuyasha smacked her on the ass. "That's what I like to hear."
Back at Kagome's room, Shippo had been on his phone watching a movie on netflix to get his mind off of everything. Bankotsu was still trying to reach him but Shippo covered all his spots, making him practically unreachable now. He already warned all of the mutual friends he had with Bankotsu that they would get blocked if they tried to send Bankotsu's messages through their phones. Just as he was turning over to adjust himself in bed, a text message from Kagome highlighted the screen.
Kagome: Don't wait up.
Shippo laughed to himself. "That hoe. Well, makeout for me too because I ain't getting none tonight."
Shippo: Have fun miss. I'll see you tomorrow.
Once Kagome had left, Shippo cooped himself up in the room trying to distract himself as much as possible. He didn't even realize that most of the people he hung out with outside of Kagome were all Bankotsu's friend until the two of them broke up. It was a lonely reality to face and Kagome was a good friend to have during this time. Even though he knew she had no problem with him, he couldn't help but feel as if he was being too clingy.
'Hmm. Maybe I'm doing too much and just need to learn to be alone for a while. I shouldn't be using her for attention anyway. She has a whole man and can't be around me all the time.'
His thoughts plagued him so much that he gave up on watching a movie and just decided to sleep away his troubles.
'It's alright Shippo. Just plan her party and keep your distance. Everything will get better soon.'
