Ch.14 Wedding Reception & After Affects
RECAP.
"I'm Sota. Nice to meet you." He laughed.
"Oh! Your Kagome's brother!" Sango said.
"Ya, hi." Sota said.
"Are you going to the wedding?" Sango asked him.
"Uhh...what wedding?" Sota asked and looked over at Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Not my wedding!" Kagome told him.
"Koga's wedding. A friend of ours." Inuyasha said before he started laughing.
"Ok Inuyasha it's not that funny." Kagome said giving him a narrowed look.
"Sorry." He said and cleared his throat to try to stop laughing.
"Anyways...you can come. My brother is going, he's your age." Sango told him.
"Cool. I guess I'll go then." Sota nodded.
"Hey can I see your dress that your going to wear?" Sango asked Kagome.
"Sure." Kagome nodded.
"Ya go show her kitten." Inuyasha said but didn't expect the purse that hit him after saying that.
"Kitten?" Sango asked.
"It's nothing." Kagome assured her as she led Sango to her room. She went into her closet and moved aside her clothes to get to the far right side and pulled out the dress.
"Oh that is so cute!" Sango told her as she looked the dress over.
END.RECAP.
ONE.MONTH.LATER.
Kagome walked into the church with her brother and saw Inuyasha walk over to her.
"Sorry baby, can't talk I have to help Koga." He told her and leaned to her ear. "But you look gorgeous sweetheart." He whispered before giving her a quick kiss. "Hey Sota why don't you come with me." Inuyasha told him and he nodded before following him. Kagome sighed since she didn't get a chance to say one word to him since he was in such a hurry.
"Hey Kagome." Sango said looking at her dress again. Kagome had on the dress she had shown Sango the first day Sota stayed at her house. It was a long silver dress that had spagetti straps but five straps on each side, one on her shoulders and the rest fell over her shoulders with sequins all over the dress and along the straps with silver pumps.
"Hey." Kagome smiled. Sango had on a long black spagetti strap dress and long black gloves on. Almost everyone had on long clothing since it was winter. "You can keep me company, Inuyasha stole my brother away." Kagome said as she looked around the room. "So what's going on?"
"Nothing, they're both just a little nervous. Inuyasha and the guys are helping Koga out so they say but I think they're trying to comfort him or something. Of course guys don't need comforting cause that's for girls but whatever." Sango rolled her eyes and laughed. "Funny how Ayame doesn't need people with her though."
"Ya really. Oh well, just nerves. You'll be the same when you get married." Kagome laughed.
"Ya whatever. I'd say the same for you but the rate you and Inuyasha are moving in your relationship i'm thinking your never going to even loo-" Sango started but Kagome's eyes widened as she slapped her hand over Sango's mouth. "Ow." Sango said and pulled her hand away but couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you mind!" Kagome told her and walked away. Sango laughed harder before following her. She went and sat in the second row of the seats and Sango came over to sit next to her.
"Ok other then all that, what do you think we should do for christmas?" Sango asked her.
"Well i'm stuck here cause my family is going out of town." Kagome shrugged. "'Cept i'm stuck with Sota again."
"Great cause my family is going out of town and my brother doesn't want to go so I let him stay at my place. He's actually here somewhere...no clue where though." She laughed. "We'll just have our own little party." Sango smirked.
"Cool. We can plan more later cause now probably isn't the time." Kagome pointed out as people started taking their seats. Inuyasha went over and sat next to Kagome with Sota next to him and Miroku went to sit next to Sango.
"Done comforting Koga?" Sango smirked. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and sat back with a sigh.
"He's a fucking pain sometimes." Inuyasha said as he crossed his arms.
"Sit up." Kagome told him. He rolled his eyes and did as he was told. "Sota's younger then you and he can even be respectful at a wedding." Kagome whispered to him.
"Ya Inuyasha." Sota laughed.
"Shut up kid." Inuyasha told him. Sota smirked and sat quietly as the wedding ceremony began.
"Kagome don't you think you've had enough drinks?" Sango asked with a laugh as she chugged her next drink.
"Psh, ya right. This is a reception!" Kagome told her.
"Ya, but your going to regret it in the morning." Sango warned her.
"Oh well, just stay in bed." Kagome smirked with a shrug.
"Ok, not that it matters. Inuyasha's just as bad as you." Sango laughed as Inuyasha walked over with another drink in his hand.
"Inuyasha! Come over here!" Miroku called. He turned in the opposite direction he was going and went to where he was called.
"Let's go dance." Kagome jumped up from her seat and grabbed Sango's arm.
"Ok." Sango laughed as she followed her out to the dance floor. They started dancing as soon as got out there but just when they began to dance the music stopped.
"Hey!" Kagome said when the music shut off.
"Sorry for the interruption but as we all know Koga will be leaving soon on his honeymoon with his wife Ayame and just before all this happend we were all put through some crazy shit." Inuyasha laughed as he spoke over the microphone.
"Ya so we wanted to bring back a few memories to laugh at before he leaves, we understand that everyone wants to dance so we are only using one of the songs. We're going to let Koga stay with his wife for this song instead of playing with us..." Miroku said but Inuyasha took the mic back.
"Although we should, not like Ayame wants to be with him this much." Inuyasha chuckled. "Just kidding man."
Koga laughed from his spot as he watched them on the stage.
"Yes so we want to play this one song to keep you remembering the special time we had." Miroku laughed as he took the mic back. "We want to try something too, it may not work well so it would be more of entertainment if we mess up so please excuse us." Miroku apologized ahead of time. "Oh yes, we were told to give a speech before we start, you know just something to make Koga actually feel important or some crap like that." Miroku shrugged and laughed.
"We're just messing with you man, but it's about time you got it together with Ayame and we just want you to know we got your back." Inuyasha told him as Sango ran up to the stage and Kagome watched from the dance floor.
"I want to say something." Sango said and took the mic. "Koga, Ayame, Love you guys and Ayame your a great friend and i'm glad to have known you for so long...and I just realized I sound like i'm giving a speech at a funeral." She laughed. "But anyway, Koga be good to her. You my boy and I know Miroku, Inuyasha and Shippo feel the same way." Sango smiled and gave the mic back to Miroku.
"Sango will be helping us with our tribute by the way." Miroku said as he stopped Sango from walking off stage.
"I am?" Sango asked then shrugged.
"Excuse us if it sounds a little sloppy cause we've all had more drinks then we should have but we want to try this so please welcome the gorgeous Kagome who will be singing for us." Inuyasha announced after taking the mic from Miroku.
"What!" Kagome asked from the dance floor.
"Come on baby, for Koga." Inuyasha nodded and she sighed before she walked up the stage the best she could.
"I hope you know I hate you." Kagome muttered as she walked over to them.
"Ok Koga you'll remember this song, we decided this is the only song we had that you could dance too." Inuyasha chuckled as he picked up his guitar and put the strap over his neck.
"Ya, and that's also why we're trying another song." Miroku said as he took the mic then handed the mic to Kagome before he walked over to the drums. Sango picked up another guitar and shrugged when Kagome looked at her. Inuyasha started off the song and Kagome knew instantly what it was and laughed.
"I'm Supergirl" She started off and Sango smiled as she followed Inuyasha's lead.
"Sometimes I have dreams
I picture myself flying
Above the clouds
High in the sky
Conquering the world
With my magic piano
Never being scared
But then I realise" She sang and looked over at Koga with her arm up as if she were soaring through the sky.
"I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone" Kagome smiled as she sang, she didn't even feel nervous at all this time.
"Seems like a dream
But there's one thing missing
Nobody's here with me
(Here with me)
To share in all that
I've been given
I need someone
That's strong enough for me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone" She shrugged when she saw Koga laughing but continued to sing.
"Hey ooh" Kagome looked over at Ayame as Koga was talking to her, probably telling her what had happend.
"I need someone
I won't stop till
I find the one
Who will start
Belonging in my life
I need someone
I won't stop till
I find the one
Who will start
Belonging in my life
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me,
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone" She nodded when Ayame looked over at her and laughed.
"I'm supergirl
I wanna know
Who's gonna save me,
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
I'm supergirl!
I wanna know
Who's gonna save me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone" She finished the song and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Koga laughing. Miroku walked over to Kagome and she handed him the mic.
"Ok now that, that memory is all good and remembered we're going to go back in time a couple of years. Back to those dreaded years of high school." Miroku chuckled and Inuyasha came by and took the mic once again.
"I know all of you people here think you know Koga so well. He's some bad guy who has been in trouble to much and hung out with the wrong crowd." Inuyasha explained. "Yes the wrong crowd was me and Miroku but it happens." He chuckled. "Now back in high school he was some kind of bully, picking on some eleven year old for their candy." Inuyasha said then shook his head. "Just kidding, Koga was never that bad. Let's get that straight cause I don't want to get jumped after this, although we all know I can kick his ass."
"Get on with it already!" Koga yelled from the crowd.
"Ok ok ok. Well back in high school there was one time when Koga scared even me. The Koga I knew kind of changed for a day." Inuyasha said and Miroku took the mic back.
"He had claimed that he had seen the cutest girl in school that day. I'm not saying she wasn't or anything cause she was pretty cute. His exact words were 'Your my boys right?' when he came up to me and Inuyasha. We were kinda wierded out by the question but went along with it and said yes and then he kind of gets soft on us and asks how to get a girls attention. I don't know bout you but that's pretty scary when your asked that by a guy. We couldn't help but laughing but we helped him out of course." Miroku nodded and Inuyasha took the mic again.
"We're boys, of course we did. Now let me make it clear that we were in high school so we weren't as experienced with girls as we thought we were so thinking back on what we did is kind of...dumb but we did this for Koga." Inuyasha said. "That night was the school dance and we gave Koga the dumbest clothes. Well it was the cool thing back then but now...I can't believe we wore that, he went to the dance in some leather pants and a white jacket. What were we thinking? I have no idea to this day but luckily the girl still danced with him but he would only dance to one song because that was the only song he knew cause we weren't into the dancing type music, you know it was all about rock back then." Inuyasha chuckled and Miroku took the mic back.
"So he waited for so long for the song to come on but it was taking forever so me and Inuyasha, you know we were going to look out for Koga cause he's our friend, but we went up to the DJ and demanded that he put the song on and guess what? We got kicked out for threatening the DJ, but luckily Koga got to dance with this cute girl because the DJ went ahead and played it since he was afraid for his life...sad, he was afraid of two fifteen year olds." Miroku laughed along with Inuyasha and Koga. "Well this cute girl started going out with him after a while and time passed and looky there he married her!" Miroku said motioning his hand to Ayame. "So we're giving you a second chance to redo your first dance and Inuyasha will be singing your song since he IS the one who punched out the DJ later that night." Miroku laughed.
"You said you would sing it!" Inuyasha told him.
"You got us in jail! Your singing! Here's Inuyasha." Miroku said and handed Inuyasha the microphone. Inuyasha glarred at him but took the mic anyway.
"Mmmm, uh ... Mmmmm... Yeah...Mmmmm...Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Mmmm, uh...Mmmm...Yeah...Mmmm... Yeah, Yeah" Inuyasha started off the song as the others played. Kagome laughed and walked to the side as she watched.
"Baby I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume, the make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are ,you stick around and I just don't know why,
If I was ya man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'd be coming home (back to you)
Every night, doin' you right
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Wrist full of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you,you are)" Inuyasha looked over and saw Koga dancing with Ayame as they laughed from the memory.
"You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you" Inuyasha sang trying not to laugh, also remembering the time.
"Listen
Your true beauty's description looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety-nine and it's a shame
Don't even know what you're worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
Cause you're bad and it shows
From your head to your toes, Out of control, baby you know
If I was ya man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'd be coming home (back to you)
Every night doin' you right
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Wrist full of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you, you are)" Inuyasha sang and pulled Kagome over with him as he sang.
"You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Ooh Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me... " He sang to her with a smirk with his arm over her shoulders.
"You deserve better girl (you know you deserve better)
We should be together girl (baby)
With me and you it's whatever girl, hey!
So can we make this thing ours?" He smiled then looked back over at Koga.
"You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
let me love you, love you, love you" Inuyasha finished and laughed when Koga was laughing once again after the song had ended.
"Man i'm going to get off this stage before I embarrass you any further. Just remember while your in Hawaii, i'm a size..." Inuyasha started but Kagome took the mic.
"Shut up Inuyasha he's not getting you anything." Kagome laughed. "Koga i'm sure he's just trying to say to have a great time and wow...interesting how you guys met by the way. Congratulations though! Now I think it should be that Inuyasha needs to get off stage before he embarrasses himself any further." Kagome laughed and Inuyasha took the mic.
"Ha ha funny." Inuyasha said and put the mic down before walking off stage with Kagome.
"Well you know how it is, now let's get back to the good music." Miroku laughed and nodded to the DJ.
"Embarrass myself huh? I'm glad you care so much." Inuyasha chuckled as they walked back to their seats.
"Hey your the one who made me sing." She shrugged as she took her next drink and drank it quickly.
"Damn girl your going to get wasted again." Inuyasha laughed as she reached for another drink.
"Well if I do then let me stay home and sleep." She laughed and put one of the shot glasses to his lips. He smirked and took the drink and drank it.
"That was funny, Kagome I think you were the best up there." Koga smirked. Inuyasha stood up and looked at him.
"What are you trying to say? I can't sing good or something?" Inuyasha asked.
"Exactly, see! You can actually be smart at times!" Koga laughed.
"Man your so lucky Ayame is here or we'd have to take this outside." Inuyasha laughed.
"Come on, let's go outside right now." Koga said and led him away. Inuyasha stopped and Miroku came over as the three of them just started talking.
"That was hilarious." Sango said as she came over and saw Kagome continue to drink. "Girl i'll be right back, try not to get drunk while i'm gone." Sango said as she walked away. Sango had gotten Ayame, Rin, and Katsuki to sit with them and after thirty minutes of drinking and talking they could tell that both Kagome and Katsuki were getting drunk. Sota and Kohaku had both left early not wanting to get stuck taking care of their sisters since they were getting drunk.
"I'll be back. Going to go...umm...get some drinks." Kagome said having to think how to word her sentence. She walked away before anyone could say anything to her and walked over to the bar where Inuyasha was sitting with Miroku as they continued their contest of who can drink the most shots the fastest.
"I'm going to check on the girls." Miroku said as he got up but having to grab the bar to keep his balance.
"Damn I think i'm already feeling the headache." Inuyasha chuckled as he pulled Kagome to him.
"You are drunk." She said carefully.
"And you're not?" He laughed.
"That's...besides the point." She told him but laughed when she realized he was right.
"Where did Miroku go?" Inuyasha asked when he realized he was gone.
"You really are drunk, he left a few minutes ago." Kagome laughed.
"Oh shit, I knew that." He said as he looked around. "Try not to get as drunk as you were before because I don't think i'd be able to take care of you." He chuckled.
"I'll try." She laughed before she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him down to her to lock her lips with his. Inuyasha wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her closer before he slipped his tongue into her mouth.
"Come on now, no one wants to see that." Sango said as she walked over.
"It doesn't matter if they want to see it, if they don't like it then they don't have to look." Inuyasha said before leaving another kiss on Kagome's lips.
"Well Shippo's taking Katsuki home, she's drunk off her ass." Sango laughed.
"No way! Katsuki?" Inuyasha asked with a laugh.
"Ya, scary. Kagome isn't to far behind...and I think your in a worse shape then Kagome, only your a hanyou so luckily it doesn't effect you all the way." Sango stuck her tongue out at him.
"Lucky me, so when are you planning on going?" He asked.
"Soon, Miroku is drunk so real soon would be good." She laughed.
"Miroku isn't drunk! Just a little dizzy." Miroku said as he came up behind them.
"Uhh...ok..." Sango said as she looked at him oddly. "Let's go sit down Miroku." Sango laughed as she led him over back to their seat.
Neither of them left until about an hour later which meant no one went home sober. Inuyasha had driven Kagome home and tried hard to focus on the road since he had a few dizzy spells every now and then. When he got to the apartment Kagome told him to come in so he could rest a bit. They walked inside to the elevator and stood there after pressing the button. Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her fully on the mouth and slowly made his way down to her neck. Kagome giggled when his hands rubbed her sides and went down to her thighs. At the moment she was to drunk to actually notice.
"You are so beautiful." Inuyasha said before he continued to kiss her. Kagome laughed and let her hands go up his shirt to feel his stomach and made her way up to his chest.
"Hey you two, the elevator is out of order." A janitor said.
"Come on baby." Inuyasha said as he led her to the stairs. He stopped every few steps to kiss her.
"Wait...w-where are we going?" Kagome asked after a while when she forgot where she was.
"Your apa-...your apart...your place." He told her not able to get the word out. She stopped with a sly smirk before she pushed him against the wall to kiss him fully on the lips.
"Mmm, baby, y-you taste so good." He muttered before he leaned down to kiss her again. "Yoou don't...kn-now how much I lo-..." He muttered against her neck, he was now past drunk and it was becoming harder for him to get all his words out.
"Just show me." She smirked. He kissed her once more before he picked her up bridal style to carry her the rest of the way to her apartment. When they got to the door Inuyasha unzipped the back of her dress as he opened the door. He stumbled into the apartment but got his balance as he lied her on the couch after closing the door. She lifted his shirt off of him as he kissed her and let his hands wander up and down her sides. He started to bring her dress up as she unzipped his pants but only managed to get them up to her knees before he got another dizzy spell and fell off the couch.
"Oh shit." He said and looked up at Kagome and noticed she had passed out. He squinted as his vision began to blur and felt the effects he hadn't felt yet from the alcohol hit hard and slowly slipped away into sleep.
Inuyasha groaned when he smelled food. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around when he wasn't sure where he was. He turned to see Kagome and realized he was in her apartment. He held his head as it throbbed in pain and the smell of food was beginning to make him feel sick. He looked down and noticed he was on the floor and then noticed his shirt was missing. He looked up at Kagome who was asleep on the couch with her dress pushed up to her thighs and the spagetti straps down to her arms. He stood up quickly trying to remember what had happend and realized his pants were undone.
"Shit please don't tell me..." He muttered to himself as he zipped his pants back up then grabbed his shirt from the floor. Kagome stretched then reached down to rub her stomach when she felt sick all of a sudden. She opened her eyes and jumped up from the couch as she ran to the bathroom almost tripping on her dress. He put his shirt on the couch before he went into the bathroom after her. He flinched when he saw her throwing up and had to look away since the scene made him feel sick to his stomach. "Baby, you ok?" He asked as he walked over when she had stopped and flushed the toilet.
"My head hurts." She muttered as she held her head. "What are you doing here?" She asked him curiously.
"That's what i'm trying to figure out." He said as he rubbed her back. They both looked up when Sota opened the door.
"I knew I should have stayed up and waited for you Kagome." Sota told her.
"At least you guys passed out before you did anything." Kohaku shrugged as they both walked away.
"What are they talking about?" Kagome asked.
"I think we almost...did something...last night." Inuyasha told her unsure of how to say it.
"W-we did?" Kagome asked carefully and then noticed her dress was loosely on her. She brought her dress close up to her chest with a blush.
"Come on." He said as he knealed down to help her up. She shook her head and rubbed her stomach.
"I don't think so, the smell of that food is making me sick." She told him.
"I'll be right back." He told her with a nod before he slipped out of the bathroom. He walked into the kitchen and covered his nose when he smelled the scent of the food then walked over and shut the stove off.
"Hey, we were going to eat that." Kohaku whinned.
"You can eat later kid." Inuyasha assured him.
"So what happend with you and Kagome?" Kohaku asked curiously.
"You love my sister right?" Sota asked seriously. "I mean ya your cool but i've never heard either of you say you love each other so apparently your not in love with her." Sota explained as he crossed his arms.
"Don't worry about it, luckily we were way to drunk to go any further and...why am I even explaining this to you! Your just a kid." He said but flinched from his own loudness.
"I may be younger then you but i'm not a kid." Sota assured him.
"Dude, did you take advantage of Kagome?" Kohaku asked quietly.
"No! Ah fuck." He said when he finally decided to stop yelling. "I was to drunk to think straight too, it wasn't only her. Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be at Sango's?" Inuyasha asked.
"Ya but I didn't feel like taking care of her if she got drunk, she's mean when she's drunk." Kohaku rolled his eyes.
"Ya your right...I see your point." Inuyasha nodded as he got a glass of water and took a drink out of it. "Try and stay quiet." He said as he walked out of the kitchen and back to the bathroom.
"Inuyasha...shoot me if I ever decide to drink again." Kagome told him as she held her head. He chuckled softly as he went over to her and knealed down and handed her the glass of water.
"Drink this." He told her and she took a few drinks from it. "Come on." He said as he helped her up and led her to her room.
RING RING
"I'll get that." Inuyasha said and went to the phone beside her bed. "Hello?"
"Uhh...Inuyasha?" Sango asked from the other line.
"Ya, what's up?" He asked.
"Umm...nothing, do you guys want to go get some coffee? I'm about to take Miroku since he's out." Sango told him.
"Why don't you just come over here?" Inuyasha asked.
"Ok, we'll do that. See you in a bit." She said before hanging up.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked and he walked back over to her. "Do you remember what happend?" She asked quietly.
"I'm begining to but not that far into the night." He told her. "Sango's coming by if you want to change." He told her as he walked to the door. She nodded and watched as he shut the door. He walked to the living room and picked up his shirt before putting it back on. He was surprised when Sango rushed inside.
"Inuyasha you'll never guess what's outside!" Sango yelled since she didn't have much of a problem with loud noises since she didn't drink that much.
"Damn wench can you be a little quieter." He told her as his ears flattened against his head. "What's outside?" He asked curiously.
"It's snowing outside." She said excitedly.
"No way. It was normal yesterday." He said as he went over to a window and looked down to see the ground covered in the white blanket. "Holy shit it is snowing." He said as the white flakes fell down to the ground. Sango nodded before she went back outside. "Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked.
"I left Miroku out there." She told him as she closed the door. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome's room and walked in just as she tossed her dress on her bed after changing.
"Guess what." He smirked as he walked over to her.
"What?" She asked with a smile since he had that cute smirk on his face. He slanked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist as he looked down at her.
"It's snowing outside." He told her. She looked at him with surprise and smiled.
"It is?" She asked quietly.
"Ya, come on." He said as he walked with her to the front door and they took the stairs down to the bottom floor to exit the apartment and stepped out onto the snowy covered ground.
"Oh wow." Kagome smiled as she looked out and saw the cars in the parking lot with a layer of snow over them. Inuyasha smiled when he looked at Kagome's face and grabbed her hand in his before lifting it up to kiss the back of it.
"Hey let's get some coffee, it's cold out here." Sango said and walked over to them then looked at Inuyasha oddly when she saw what he was wearing. "Did you not go home or something?" She asked as she looked him up and down. "Your still wearing what you wore yesterday."
"Uh oh, someone had some fun last night." Miroku smirked as he walked over.
"Ya whatever, well I guess i'm glad to see you here. Last night it didn't seem you could hold you alcohol very well." Inuyasha smirked when Miroku rolled his eyes.
"Give it a rest, you were both drunk, Miroku acted like an idiot and Inuyasha couldn't stop making out with Kagome the whole night. Now let's get inside before I freeze my ass off." She told them as she herded them inside.
"It wasn't the whole night." Inuyasha defended himself.
"Oh no, just the last hour I was there. Everytime I came to find you, you guys were up against some wall or in a booth making out. Not something I need to be seeing." Sango laughed. The three covered their ears from her loud laugh.
"Umm...Sango dear...I love you and all but can you keep it down?" Miroku asked. Sango rolled her eyes before pushing the elevator button.
"Hey I thought that didn't work?" Inuyasha asked when the door opened.
"Hmm...well apparently they fixed it." Sango shrugged with a smirk as she walked in.
"Smartass." He said and crossed his arms as she laughed lightly.
"You know it." Sango smirked as she pressed the button for the floor they were going to. When the elevator doors opened they walked out and walked into Kagome's apartment and made some coffee. They all sat in the living room including Kohaku and Sota.
"No but seriously, what would you do if someone actually came up to you and asked you to bare their child? I don't know about you but that was kind of...freaky." Sango shrugged as Sota, Kohaku, Kagome and Inuyasha laughed.
"I was drunk Sango, damn." Miroku rolled his eyes.
"That's kinda creepy, sorry Miroku." Kagome laughed.
"Your telling me...I was the one he asked." Sango sighed.
"Well as great of a time this has been you guys need to go home cause I want to go to sleep." Kagome said as she stood up. "Oh and Sango, I kept Sota and Kohaku for one night so now it's your turn."
"What are we property now?" Sota asked.
"If you want to be." Kagome shrugged and looked at Inuyasha. "You too, you gotta go." She told him.
"Aww but baby, don't you want me around?" Inuyasha pouted.
"No, get out." She said simply and laughed when his ears fell flat against his head.
"Ok." He sighed. "I'll come by later." He assured her with a smirk before picking up his jacket.
"Sure, and i'll answer the door if i'm not asleep." She laughed and kissed him before he walked out.
"Later." He said and walked out.
"Alone at last." Kagome smiled as she walked to her room and got in her bed and didn't take long before she drifted off to sleep.
INUYASHA'S.HOUSE.
"Inuyasha! What happen with you at Kagome's place last night!" Sango yelled over the phone.
"What! Nothing! Shit stop yelling I still have a headache!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Well I just got done talking with Sota and Kohaku and they think that-..."
"I know what they think. Just don't worry about it Sango, I was just drunk...but I passed out before anything happend. Whatever might have happend didn't so don't worry about it." Inuyasha assured her starting to become annoyed with everyone questioning his business.
"Fine but watch out boy. I'll keep my eyes on you. Don't hurt her." Sango warned him.
"Why would I hurt her?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't think you will but i'm just saying." Sango laughed.
"I wouldn't hurt her, I l-...i'll never do that." He stopped himself from what he was fixing to say.
"Ok well I'm going to go. I'll talk to you later Yash. Bye." Sango said.
"Bye." He said before he hung up the phone. "I didn't really...say that did I?" He asked himself as he sat down on the couch. "Shit I almost said that last night...I remember now...fuck...but...I was just drunk though...I didn't mean it...right?" He asked himself as he remember what he almost told Kagome the night before. 'I don't really do I?...I can't...I just can't...' He brought his hands over his face.
TWO.DAYS.LATER.
"Hey Sango what's up?" Kagome asked as Sango walked into the club.
"Not much, kinda bored. Though I could help, so what are you doing here? I called your apartment and figured you were here." Sango said as she took a seat with Kagome at one of the tables.
"Same with me, bored so I came to work." Kagome shrugged with a smile.
"So why aren't you with Inuyasha? You two haven't been spending as much time together as usual." Sango smirked.
"Ya ya ya, but actually to tell you the truth I don't know. He was supposed to call me last night but he never did and he was also supposed to call that night after the reception but he didn't and whenever I call him he's busy or something, I don't know." Kagome shrugged with a sigh.
"That's...wierd. Inuyasha would never be to busy for you." Sango laughed.
"Ya whatever." Kagome laughed. "Well he is now." She shrugged as she stood up once again. "So where's Miroku?"
"I have no idea. Probably still asleep, I didn't call him this morning." Sango laughed once again. "What about Rin?"
"She's sick." Kagome sighed. "Talk about boredom." She laughed.
"Ya I see. Well we need some company. If they're busy then they can make some time for us." Sango nodded as she pulled out her cell phone. After two rings the phone was answered.
"Ok Bankotsu I need you to make a few runs for me and-..." Inuyasha trailed off.
"Excuse me? Inuyasha you not getting enough sleep or something?" Sango asked him.
"Oh shit. Uhh...what do you want?" Inuyasha asked.
"Nothing just seeing what's up. Where are you?" Sango asked curiously.
"Right now? I'm at home on my way out. I'm going down to the den why?" Inuyasha asked.
"Cause i'm sitting here with Kagome and we want some company. Kind of bored. I was talking to Kagome and you haven't been having fun lately. What's with the change?" She asked him.
"No change, just nothing else better to do. I'm going to let you go, i'll talk to you later." He assured her.
"You going to stop by the club later?...right?" Sango asked. "You need to go back to how you were before."
"I don't know." He told her.
"What's up with that? You need to come down, we're dying of boredom." Sango whinned.
"Listen...I might come by." He sighed. "I'm not making promises though."
"Uhh...ok...later then." Sango said hesitantly before hanging up. "Well that was wierd. He sounded like I was making him."
"See. I'm starting to think he's avoiding me or something. I just get that feeling." Kagome sighed with a shrug before she walked into the kitchen. Sango walked in after her and shook her head.
"That's highly unlikely girl. That boy is crazy about you, I doubt he'd avoid you." Sango laughed at how wrong she sounded and Kagome just shrugged.
"Maybe. We'll see later." Kagome sighed as she grabbed a washcloth before she walked back out to the bar and started wiping down the bar and tables.
"Another please?" Miroku asked with a smirk.
"I don't think so. I don't think Sango want's to have to take care of you again so soon." Kagome laughed.
"I agree with Kagome, you've had enough." Sango rolled her eyes.
"No one wants a repeat of that night. To much alcohol for one night." Katsuki laughed.
"Your telling me." Shippo rolled his eyes also.
"Shut up Shippo." Katsuki laughed and hit him playfully.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to check on the kitchen." Kagome laughed as she walked out into the kitchen.
"I wonder where Inuyasha is. He said he'd try to stop by." Sango sighed.
"Don't know. He's been doing runs over and over again." Miroku shrugged.
"Ya well Kagome gets the feeling he's avoiding her." Sango told him.
"That's impossible." Katsuki said.
"Ya that's what I said." Sango sighed once again.
"Well speak of the devil." Shippo said as he watched Inuyasha walk in and walk over to them.
"Hey guys." He said as he sat next to Miroku on a free stool.
"Dude where have you been?" Shippo asked.
"Nevermind that, just 'bout time you got here." Sango smiled.
"Hey tell Miroku no more drinks for him." Katsuki laughed.
"That's messed up Suki." Miroku sighed. Inuyasha chuckled and rested his elbows on the bar.
"Truth hurts pal." Katsuki smiled.
"She's right." Sango laughed as Kagome walked back into the bar and saw Inuyasha sitting there next to Miroku. She smiled when his amber eyes spotted her but sighed when he looked away.
"Hey stranger." Kagome said half-heartedly as she walked over.
"Hey." He replied.
"Haven't seen you in a while now." Kagome smiled.
"Ya, you know how it is." He shrugged.
"Ya." Kagome said simply.
"Well i've only had one drink, I think I deserve another at least." Sango smiled. Kagome smiled and nodded as she got another drink and gave her the glass. She looked over and saw another customer and walked over to them without a word.
"So how is it exactly?" Sango asked after taking a sip of her drink. "Apparently Kagome knows but you know, i'd like to know too." Sango shrugged with a serious look.
"What are you talking about Sango? You know where i've been." Inuyasha chuckled as he played off his answer.
"Ya but why?" Sango asked and Miroku looked over at him too.
"Is there something i'm missing?" Miroku asked curiously.
"Well I think we should be going." Katsuki said carefully.
"Right behind you." Shippo said as he stood up with Katsuki.
"See you guys later." Sango said simply without taking her eyes off Inuyasha.
"Hey see you later Kagome!" Shippo said and Katsuki waved as Kagome walked back over.
"Oh...uhh...ok bye." Kagome said then walked over and saw Sango and Inuyasha both sending each other glares. "What's going on?"
"That's what i'd like to know but apparently we're out of the loop here." Miroku shrugged.
"Well my shift is about over so you guys can stay and look at each other if you want but I think i'll go home." Kagome told them and pulled her long hair out of the pony tail it was in.
"Ya same here. Don't know what i'm bothering about." Sango shrugged and gave Inuyasha one more look. Inuyasha sighed and Sango and Miroku both started walking to leave.
"Bye you guys." Kagome called out as she grabbed her jacket and clocked out.
"Bye." Miroku said and Sango just nodded.
"Hey i'm going home so you might want to leave." Kagome told Inuyasha as she put her jacket on.
"Your leaving? I just came here to see you." Inuyasha told her.
"Oh you did?" Kagome asked as if she didn't know.
"Why else would I come?" Inuyasha asked questioningly.
"I don't know, I just 'know how it is' for you so I thought you might be busy." Kagome shrugged as she walked backwards to look at him but turned around to walk toward the front door. Inuyasha sighed before he stood up.
"Dammit." He muttered to himself before he walked out after her. "I didn't mean anything by it. Hey are you listening?" Inuyasha asked when she continued to walk.
"Yes, just trying to get to my car so I can go home. I'll see you tomorrow maybe though. Goodnight." She said sweetly.
"Kagome! Stop it!" He yelled as he jogged the short way to her. "Hey I want you to go somewhere with me." He told her when he caught up to her and held her hands in his.
"Your not busy?" She asked him with a little hope.
"No i'm not busy. I want to take you somewhere, will you go with me Kaggs?" He smirked. She smiled and finally looked back up into his amber eyes that seemed to glow under the moonlight.
"It depends." She said simply with a smile.
"On what?" He asked.
"On your answer to my question." She told him.
"What question would that be?" He asked curiously.
"My question on why you haven't called me in the past two days and also why you've been so busy." She told him and watched his gaze fall to the ground.
"I know your wondering about that...and i'll tell you after I take you to the place." He assured her and looked down at her hands as he rubbed them.
"Ok, where are you taking me?" Kagome asked curiously as he led her to his car.
"You'll see." He said simply and got into the drivers side and held her hand in his as he drove to his destination. Kagome looked out the window when he pulled over.
"The beach? Isn't it kinda la-..." She started but was stopped when Inuyasha's lips covered hers.
"I know, but come with me." He said after pulling away then reached into the back for a blanket then got out of the car. Kagome got out and followed him onto the sand and watched him lay the blanket down. He sat down and stretched his arms out for her. She smiled before sitting down in front of him as he wrapped his arms around her.
"So what's your excuse?" She asked in a mere whisper.
"It's not exactly an excuse. I just kind of freaked." He sighed.
"Why? Is something wrong?" Kagome asked as she turned her head to look at him.
"No nothing's wrong. Let me explain first." He told her. Kagome nodded and turned to face him so she could give her full attention.
"I remember what happend that night we were both drunk. Sota and Kohaku were right too. If we hadn't have passed out then...you know." He told her and saw the blush rise to her cheeks as she nodded.
"Well nothing happend so...I guess it's ok." Kagome shrugged and looked away.
"There's something I want to tell you...but I can't. Not yet. First I want you to know everything."
"Like what? What do you mean?" She asked with a questioning gaze. He sighed and held the stone around her neck.
"Like this." He said as she looked down at it.
"What about it?" She asked and looked back up at him with her hand over his at her neck.
"I'm the one who left it in your mailbox even though I knew I should have given it to you personally. It still amazes me how many chances I had to meet you though." He chuckled to himself.
"Well i'm right here aren't I? It's ok about the necklace, that was a long time ago and you were only a kid. I know why my dad gave you the jewel." She assured him.
"What? How?" He asked a bit surprised.
"Cause I love my dad and I know him. He died the day he gave it to you for his own reasons. I've realized that everything that happend, happend for a reason. Ya my dad died but I shouldn't cry about it, I should just cherish all the good memories I have of him. I knew he was in a gang, when you told me...I just acted as if it wasn't true cause if I admited it then it would mean he really was in it. After he died my mom let me look though all his stuff that he had in this box that he had for me and there was a seperate box for my brother. There was a letter in my box that explained about the gang and there was a journal with the story written in it about the priestess but the story is unfinished, it only goes to where the priestess recieves the jewel. He left a note telling me it was my job to finish that story. It was the past though and i'm not going to forget it but I shouldn't dwell on it either." She shrugged with a sigh. Inuyasha sighed and nodded and hesitated a bit before speaking.
"...We were fighting Naraku and I thought we'd either beat him or die trying, I wasn't afraid to die in the battle at all but...your dad thought differently and told me to keep the jewel to keep me safe since it didn't burn me."
"Burn you?" She asked.
"I'm half demon so automatically i'm not pure enough to hold the shikon jewel, well that's the way it's supposed to be. I should have been burned when I picked it up but I wasn't. He said the jewel sensed something in me so I should let it protect me." He explained.
"And so gives the reason why he gave it to you." Kagome said to herself.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"The jewel is powerful right?" Kagome asked.
"Ya, the most powerful thing. Why?"
"It wanted to protect you cause it sensed something in you, it had it's reasons so maybe you have some type of future with the jewel." She told him.
"You sound like your dad." He smirked. "That sounds like something your dad would say."
"Then i'm glad to still be able to have some connection with him." She smiled.
"Your dad loved you so much." He told her.
"I know." She smirked. "I loved him just as much."
"After we argued over me being the best, yes I was the best in that gang." He chuckled.
"Cocky as a kid also, sheesh." Kagome laughed.
"Ya whatever." He smirked. "As I was saying, after we talked about that he went on, like I told you before about how the miko loves to meet people and how beautiful she was and what a little angel she is. He was right too." He smirked and saw her cheeks turn red. "Then he said what keeps him going was the thought of going home to his family every day and that was why he wouldn't give up. He told me that there was someone that would keep me going too. Someone I might not know yet but I would meet up with someday and that person would be my destiny. I think I found that person." He told her as she gave him a questioning look.
