Later.

I dropped Akami off at Inuyasha's apartment for the first of many days to come. She was more then excited when I informed her where she would be staying at while I was at work and she couldn't wait to spend more quality time with her dad. I was still feeling a little uneasy about our arrangements, but I shook the feelings away and tried to concentrate on maintaining Akami's new schedule with open arms.

It was around seven o'clock by the time I reached his apartment. When Inuyasha opened the door to greet us, I was surprised he actually took the liberty to get up early and clean himself up. I figured he would wake up grumpily, hair a mess, and still in boxers by the time we arrived but I was wrong.

I knew he wasn't much of a morning person, I could still see the sleep in his eyes even as he smiled and took Akami into his arms. I wasn't a morning person either and I probably never would be. He sent me a quick reassuring smile, something in his eyes promising me everything was taken care of and Akami would be fine.

That was all I needed to leave her there with Inuyasha that morning. I gave Akami one last hug and turned to face towards him, my eyes sending him a small warning.

"If anything goes wrong, or you need to reach me right away. You know where to call." I told him and he nodded his head in response.

"I know, everything is under control. Now go, get to work, we don't want you to be late." He answered, showing me to the door. I sighed and waved goodbye to Akami, making my way out of the apartment. When I reached my car, Inuyasha waved to me one last time, Akami was in his arms, waving also before he closed the door and blocked my sight of them.

I drove away slowly, my eyes searching for any hint of them inside the apartment as I left. When I couldn't see them, I gave up and focused on getting to work on time. Hopefully Inuyasha wouldn't let me down.

I was sitting on Sango's bed, letting my thoughts drift to Inuyasha. He had actually done a great job watching Akami the past week and I was very pleased with him. I had been so worried at first, but my doubts disappeared when I came to his apartment after work to pick Akami up. She had been so happy, and she was actually looking forward to the next visit with her dad.

"Kagome, why don't you wear this?"

The sound of Sango's voice scattered my thoughts and I looked up from my spot on her bed and found myself staring at a beautiful blue dress. The dress was short and the top was sleeveless, alligned with soft glittering fabric. The edges of the sleeves were encrusted with dark blue crystals, as well as the neckline. The top of the dress was the color of a clear blue sky, and as you looked further down the color faded to a darker shade of blue. It looked great, but expensive.

I lifted myself from the bed and slowly made my way across the room, stopping once I had reached the closet where Sango stood, holding the dress out towards me. She pressed the dress unto me, placing the hanger against my neck and letting the material settle over my curves. She took a minute to admire the dress, before sending me an approving smile.

"I like it. It looks sexy on you!" She sang, blinding me with her wide smile. I took it from her hands and snook a glance in the mirror, eyeing the way the dress hugged all my curves and melted against my body in a perfect blend. It looked wonderful, but I was still unsure.

"I don't know Sango . . are you sure?" I asked timidly, glancing from the mirror to Sango's dark brown eyes. She nodded her head instantly, taking my hand and all but shoving me into her personal bathroom.

She slammed the door and leaned against it, leaving me trapped inside. "Kagome, that dress was made for you! When I open this door, you better be wearing it." She ordered sharply. Sango only used that demanding tone when she meant business, I guess I had no choice.

"Fine." I let out a soft sigh as I began to undress, plucking my blouse over my neck and throwing it unto the counter, then I started to work on unbuttoning my jeans and sliding them off, until I was standing in nothing but my undergarments. I glanced at the dress I had placed on the counter and thought for a moment, before grabbing it and sliding it over my head, pulling it gently over me so that it fit snugly against my body.

I took a few minutes to look into the mirror, trying to see if this dress was appropriate enough for me to wear. The cleavage was low cut, showing the world a small peek of what lay underneath, and the dress was too short for my usual taste, riding up my legs and revealing a little of my thighs. I couldn't wear a dress like this, what if men were to see this? Wouldn't girls think I'm a slut?

"What am I thinking?" I breathed, almost not believing my thoughts. I never used to care for things like that when I was younger, I was always wearing clothes like this. Has the years truly changed me into some sweater wearing grandma! I'm still young, I can't keep doing this to myself. Inuyasha still dresses the way he used too in highschool, so why can't I?

'Because you're more responsible then he is.' A voice somewhere inside my head spoke, but I shrugged it away. I was going to have fun tonight, Kikyo had invited me out with them, and I was going to have a great time tonight. I'm tired of always being the responsible one, I can have fun too can't I?

I had finally decided, I was going to have a great time tonight, and just forget about all my troubles, if only for one night. I was going to bring back the spirit that I once had in highschool, and allow myself to have a wonderful time. I grabbed the clothes I had disregarded earlier and knocked on the bathroom door. Sango opened the door a moment later, checking to see if I was wearing the dress she had picked out for me. Her eyes lit up with delight when she saw how great the dress looked on me and she flew forward and crushed me into a brief hug.

"Kagome, it looks great!" Sango complimented, her eyes sparkling. I smiled, sneaking another glance at the mirror next to us. The dress was lovely.

"It's about time you started dressing your age." She added and then turned away from me. She was silent for a moment, as if thinking something over before rushing to her dresser and taking out a plastic bag. She pulled out a blue laced thong with a matching bra, and handed them over to me. They were still new, I could still see the tags dangling from the silk material and I glanced at Sango unsurely.

"It's ok, you can have them, I don't care. I bought them on sale at the mall." She smiled and ushered me towards the bathroom once more.

"Alright, thanks Sango." I smiled back at her as I walked into the bathroom to change again. I paused for a minute and turned around, stopping Sango before she could close the door.

"Wait. Can you check on Akami real quick? You know, just make sure she didn't run off or anything." I asked and Sango nodded her head in response.

"Don't worry she's fine. All that kid ever does is watch cartoons and kiddy movies, but I'll check on her anyway." Sango assured before closing the bathroom door shut. I could hear her footsteps as she made her way out of the room and down the hall, over to the living room where Akami was watching tv.

I glanced down at the clothes in my hand and sighed. This was going to be a long night.

I left Akami with Sango for the night, promising them I wouldn't be back too late. Kikyo had suggested we meet up at one of the clubs down the street, stay and dance for awhile and then leave, nothing too wild. I was still unsure about her true motives, but in my head I told myself she just wanted to get to know me. I mean, if she were to ever get really serious with Inuyasha, then she would have to put up with seeing me most of the time, so might as well be friends.

Sango had straightened my hair for me, placing a small blue rose clip in my hair to match my dress. It turned out looking really good, she had even done my make up for me. I looked great, and that was just how I felt at the time.

I picked Kouga up at his apartment, he was already waiting for me in the front by the time I arrived. He stepped into the car and closed the door behind him, turning to greet me. When he finally had a good look at me, his eyes widened.

"Kagome! Is that you? You look great!" He exclaimed, astonishment filled his voice as he continued to eye my attire. I couldn't help but let a small smile escape when I heard his compliment. It's not like he had never seen me dressed up before, but tonight I had gone all out.

"Thanks. I'm glad you're coming tonight Kouga." I replied softly as I started the car and began driving towards the club.

"It's no problem. I don't mind dealing with mutt face, as long as I get to spend time with you."

I smiled softly at him once more, before reaching over to turn on the radio. We talked and listened to music the rest of the ride until we had finally arrived at the club. It was dark outside when we walked to the main entrance, and waited for the bouncer to let us in. He checked our ID's and we handed him the small entrance fee, then he nodded his head and allowed us to pass.

The club was dark, except for the colored party lights that flashed from the ceiling. The whole place was crowded, people were in the corners making out, some were sitting at the bar ordering drinks, and everyone else was in the center of the room dancing to the loud music that vibrated nearly the whole block. I glanced around, searching for any sign of Kikyo and Inuyasha.

I could feel strong arms grip my shoulders and I turned around and met a pair of striking blue eyes. Kouga smiled at me, leaning closer to brush his lips slightly across my ear. "Want to get a drink or dance first?" He whispered into my ear and I let out a soft sigh.

"Let's wait for Inuyasha and Kikyo to get here first." I replied and I could feel him shift closer to me.

"You don't need to wait. Look up." He said and I glanced up towards the entrance and caught sight of two figures making their way into the club. I instantly recognized them, but only one held my attention.

Inuyasha . . he looked incredibly handsome . . like always. The lights dancing across his face made his amber eyes shine brilliantly, and the black muscle shirt he had selected fit perfectly against his well toned chest, which brought up a question. Had he been working out? The shirt, paired with a baggy pair of washed out, frayed bottomed jeans and white trainers made him look very sexy. I hadn't realized I had been gawking at him until I heard Kikyo's voice, interrupting my small inspection.

I looked up, and felt my face grow hot when I saw him staring at me. He nodded at me for his greeting as Kikyo appeared next to him, wearing a knee length scarlet dress that fit her perfectly. Her hair was done up in braids that fell around her face, red lipstick painted her thin lips and a small shade of blush was applied to her cheeks. She slid her arms into Inuyasha's, pulling him closer to her side as she eyed me and Kouga.

"Hey Kagome, I'm so glad you showed up. Is this your boyfriend?" She asked with a cheerful smile. I nodded my head, and turned to take Kouga's hand in mine. "Kikyo, this is my boyfriend Kouga. Kouga, this is Kikyo, Inuyasha's girlfriend." I introduced them and Kikyo smiled at him. Kouga sent her back a small wave and then turned to take me into his arms.

"Come dance with me Kagome." Kouga whispered, licking my ear softly and causing me to giggle from the pleasant feeling. I could tell he was very eager to dance with me.

"Me and Kouga are going to dance, see you guys on the dance floor." I laughed as his arms encircled my waist from behind, slowly leading me towards the dancing crowd. I could feel Inuyasha's stare, those golden pools burning into my back, but I tried as hard as I could to ignore him. Tonight was MY night. Nothing was going to ruin it.

The song Outta control by fifty cent was playing when we reached the dance floor. Kouga pulled me closer to him, placing his hands on my hips and grinding into my back as we moved to the beat together. I could feel the warmth of his jeans as he moved with me in a soft rhythm and I relaxed in his hold.

It wasn't long before Kikyo had decided to drag Inuyasha unto the dance floor, and when I looked over they were a few couples away from us. Kikyo smiled when she caught my stare, and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's shoulders, bringing his body closer to hers.

My eyes drifted over to Inuyasha, and I swallowed a small gasp when I saw his smoldering golden pools blazing right into mine. I snapped my head back in a different direction, trying to calm the beating of my heart. I know he was watching me, I could feel it, but I tried to concentrate on Kouga's body on mine, and forget the way Inuyasha had been staring at me so intently. Why was he doing that anyways? He was with Kikyo.

We finished the song and danced through a couple more. I was starting to feel a little hot and sweaty, but I didn't want to stop dancing. Kouga was a great dancer. After a few more songs, my feet were starting to hurt so I turned in Kouga's arms and faced him, looking straight into his bright blue eyes.

"Kouga, can we rest for a bit? My feet are starting to hurt." I said and he nodded and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, leading me towards the bar. I couldn't help but sneak a quick peek at Inuyasha. He was still grinding with Kikyo, and for some reason seeing them so close made my stomach twist. His arms were wrapped around her waist and her hands were around his neck, both of them looked as flushed as Kouga and I.

We reached the bar, where Kouga took a seat on a stool near the front counter. All the seats around him were occupied, so I started to look for another seat when I felt his hands on me, pulling me into his lap. I was surprised for a second, Kouga was so touchy today. After he ordered us a few shots of Vodka, I rested my head against his shoulder and took a sip out of my drink.

"Having fun?" He said into my ear and I shifted slightly in his hold, turning so I could see his face.

"Yes. This club is nice." I replied and he smiled and dug his head into my hair, his hands around my waist. I looked up and saw Inuyasha coming towards us, his amber eyes locked on me as he appeared closer. When he reached us, I felt Kouga move slightly in agitation but he didn't say anything.

"Where's Kikyo?" Kouga asked and Inuyasha pointed towards a door across the room. "Bathroom." He replied, glancing at Kouga briefly before sucking in a breath and then directing his gaze back to me. I saw him look down, taking in Kouga's arms around me and the way I was held up against his lap before he looked back up.

"Do you want to dance Kagome?" Inuyasha asked and I sat silently for a moment, as if I didn't understand the question. Had he just asked me to dance with him? I couldn't even remember the last time we had danced together, it was so long ago. I felt Kouga go stiff next to me and I scooted out of his arms, glancing at Inuyasha quizically.

" . . Sure. Kouga it'll just be a little okay?" I said, swinging my eyes back to Kouga who sat pensively on his stool. He stared hard at Inuyasha for a moment, as if questioning his motives before sighing and nodding his head. I smiled at Kouga for not starting a scene and let Inuyasha take my hand and lead me back to the crowded dance floor.

The beat was fast and I was slightly surprised when Inuyasha pulled me too him, grabbing me around the waist and pressing me against his jeans. I responded by wrapping my arms around his neck, letting my hands drift and curl into his hair. He was looking at me intently, his honey golden eyes blazing into mine as we moved together.

"You like this song?" He asked, his voice coming out low and husky . . not his usual tone. I nodded my head, too dazed from the friction of our bodies to let out a verbal response. I relaxed against him, letting him pull me even closer, my breasts pressing tightly against his chest as he grinded into me. His hands had worked their way to my ass, gripping me there and pressing me even faster to keep up with his grind. I was very aware of the heat of our bodies pressed together on the floor and I tried not to let it get to me. I should have pulled away, but it was like I couldn't stop. It felt so right to be dancing with him.

It had been awhile since Kikyo had last left to go to the bathroom and I was suddenly wondering where the hell she was. My eyes scanned the room and I let out a surprised gasp when I saw her, standing a few feet away glaring at me harshly. Her eyebrows were furrowed together in anger, her deep brown eyes burning with dark flames. I immediantly jumped away from Inuyasha, staring at Kikyo with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, clearly looking surprised that I had suddenly jumped away from him. I pointed towards where Kikyo stood and her angry look faded into a blank expression. He turned his head, catching Kikyo's neutral stare and with one quick glance from me, made his way over to her. I turned away, trying to let Kikyo's angry face fade from my mind as I made my way over to Kouga.

He had a drink in his hand, and as I came closer he took a big gulp and then placed the empty glass back on the counter. "You're back. I missed you." He slurred and that was when I realized he must have been getting drunk. I smiled as he reached towards me, taking me into a lousy hug. When he pulled away I ordered another round for us and waited patiently to get my drink.

When I looked back up to the dance floor, I noticed Inuyasha and Kikyo near the restrooms, looking like they were in some sort of argument. I wondered if their fight had anything to do with me. I continued to watch them as Kikyo yelled at Inuyasha, then she ended the fight by spinning around and running into the girls bathroom again.

Worried, I stood up from my seat, informed Kouga I was going to the restroom and then followed after her. I walked right past Inuyasha, who looked like he was heading towards the bar and then entered the bathroom. I glanced around the room, noticing Kikyo in front of a mirror, rummaging through her purse like a madman. I walked over to her and tapped her shoulder, causing her to drop some of the things in her purse and curse loudly. She spun around, her eyes ablaze as she glared me.

"What do you want?" She hissed and I winced at the sound of her viscous tone. Why was she so mad?

"Kikyo . . what's wrong?" I asked and she ignored my question, bending down to pick up the things she had dropped before shoving them into her purse.

"Why do you fucking care?" She snapped, turning back towards the mirror and taking out some of her makeup.

"Are you and Inuyasha fighting?" I asked, even though I knew they were. I was just trying to get something out of her. She finished applying her powder and then snapped her compact shut, turning to face me.

"Listen here, Kagome. I only brought you here for one reason. And that was to tell you to stay away from Inuyasha, he's mine. I didn't bring you here to be your fucking friend or whatever little fantasy you created in your mind." She spat, narrowing her eyes at me furiously.

I was completely confused. So that was her plan? To take me here to tell me to stay away from Inuyasha? I don't even want him! I'm with Kouga! Is she that blind? Does she actually think Inuyasha and I still have something going on? Whatever we had ended years ago.

"What are you talking about? Do you actually think that Inuyasha and I -"

"I see the way he looks at you. The whole night he was staring at you, don't tell me you didn't fucking notice! Then I come back from the bathroom and you guys are practically fucking each other on the dance floor! You say you're boyfriend is Kouga, what are you some cheap little slut? Inuyasha is mine, and I don't share." She yelled, zipping her purse shut and flipping it unto her shoulder.

I stood for a minute in complete silence, replaying her words in my head. Inuyasha and I were just dancing, she didn't have to freak out on me. I would have been fine if she danced with Kouga.

She was heading towards the bathroom exit when I started to follow her. I ran up to her and opened my mouth to say something but before I could she beat me to it. "I'm leaving. I can't stand looking at him when he's so infatuated with you. Tell Inuyasha he can get his own ride home." She said sharply, sending me a brief cold glance before making her way to the exit of the club.

I stood dumbfounded, unsure of what to do. Once Kikyo was gone, I made my way back to the bar, lost in my thoughts. Today was supposed to be fun, now there's all this drama. It was giving me a migraine. When I reached the bar I saw Inuyasha, downing a few beers with empty glasses surrounding him. Kouga sat a few seats away, his pile of empty glasses wasn't much less then Inuyasha's.

I was feeling sort of drowsy, but I hadn't drunk as much as the boys did. Only one glass, barely two. I guess I was the only designated driver, which meant I would be taking the boys home since Kikyo had left. I glanced at the clock, noticing it was getting late. I walked over to Inuyasha, where he sat staring at me with hazy eyes.

"Kikyo left. Which means I'm your ride." I said coldly and he nodded.

"You mean I have to ride with the wolf?" He asked bitterly and I sent him a sharp stare.

"Ride with Kouga, or start walking." I replied and he sighed, looking away from me.

We exited the club and I took them both to my car, getting in after them and starting on my drive to Kouga's apartment. It wasn't long before his apartment came into view and I parked my car near the driveway and got out. I took Kouga's hand, trailing silently after him as we walked up to his porch. I could feel Inuyasha watching me, but I didn't turn my head. I didn't want to look at him.

When we reached Kouga's front door, he turned to me and dipped his head in, pulling me into a soft kiss. It didn't last long and when the kiss ended I smiled at him and told him I would call him tomorrow. I made my way back towards my car where Inuyasha sat in the passengers seat, watching my every move with those golden pools of his. He was looking at me angrily now, a mix of alcohol and fury in those golden depths, and that's when I knew it would be a long ride to his house.

A/N: Ok, so we have Kagome and a drunk-ish Inuyasha in a car ride all alone. That sounds promising. Well review me so I can update soon! More reviews, faster updates! PLEASE REVEIW!
