"So this is were you said you had a 'killer' job?" Miroku questioned, trying to change the subject. Kagome looked at him curiously. "One, you haven't seen this thing on Friday night. Two, I'm pretty sure only surfer dudes say 'killer' these days. Three, I don't work here… I own this joint." Inuyasha and Koga were shocked. "What the HELL!? You're only what, 18!? How the hell could you own a bar!!" Was Inuyasha's loud mouth comment. Kagome smiled genuinely this time.
"I'll take that as a compliment. I'm actually 22." Insert dropped jaws here. "No way in hell! I missed your 20th birthday? Damn! I wanted to get you drunk for the first time! Oh poo!" Everyone just stared at Miroku. Koga finally piped up, "Dude. That is why you don't have a girlfriend." "Don't forget the groping!" Kagome chimed.
"Now that we're all aquatinted I have customers that need attending to. Miroku, if you start a bar fight I will personally kick your ass. As for the rest of you, don't pass out, don't start a fight, seat yourselves, and Koga?"
"Hmm?"
"If you don't want to get bombarded by girls, sit at a table, not the bar." With that Kagome rolled off to the kitchen. "Your sister is stunning!" Koga remarked. Inuyasha got an evil grin on his face. "I'll have to tell Ayame that when we get back." Koga practically begged Inuyasha not to tell his girlfriend. He knew the consequences would be dire.
When Kagome came back so they could order their drinks Miroku decided to cause a riot. "Hey, Kagome, since I'm here and all, why don't you sing?" Everyone shared quizzical glances at Miroku. "Sing. Sing. Sing. Sing." Started to chime around the room. 'Damn you Miroku!'
"Fine! Fine! I'll sing! Jakotsu! Put on The One. You know what I mean." The man called Jakotsu, obviously the DJ, stoped ogling a guy's ass long enough to put the specified song on. Kagome went up to the stage after quickly slipping into a pair of knee high black boots with 2-inch heels. Then her angelic voice rang through the eerily quiet bar.
You are my fireThe one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
Inuyasha was stunned. It was as if she was a goddess. Not only did she look like one but she sounded like one and acted like one. Especially 'cause she didn't run away screaming at the fact that they were demons. 'She is one amazing girl.'
But when we two worlds apart
I can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
The whole bar emersed themselves in the sweet music that was Kagome's voice.
Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
Deep down inside of me
You are my fire
The one desire
You are, you are, you are, you are
Don't want to hear you say…
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
I wanna hear you say
I never wanna' hear you say
I want it that way
Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off Kagome, nor did he want to. To him she was something special… Perfect.
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
As Kagome's last note faded into the room the whole bar erupted into cheers. "Thank you! You can all go back to your drinks now. Like hell there's gonna' be an anchor." A few 'aww's were heard through the bar before it returned to normal. Or as normal as it ever would be.
Kagome seductively waltzed up to the table where Miroku and co. were occupying. Kagome whispered into his ear. "Try a stunt like that again and I'll do worse than what I've already done so far." She then turned to the group ignoring a very pale Miroku. "So what'll you have?"
Both demons chimed, "Do you have any hard liquor?" Kagome barely took note of this. "Yeah, my house special. I was actually able to get Rin's mate drunk so I know it's the most potent stuff out there."
'Rin. Rin. Where have I heard that name before.' Inuyasha was abruptly cut out of his thoughts. "Here comes the couple now. Hey Rin. Hey Sesshomaru." Inuyasha practically choked on his own tongue with suprize. A familiar voice rang though his ears.
"Damn it. And here I was hoping he would choke." Rin started giggling. "Now, now Fluffy. That's no way to talk to your brother." Kagome got an evil grin on her face. "Oohh, Fl-u-ffy--. How about we see which brother can hold down more liquor?" Kagome whispered her plan into Inuyasha's ear so only he could hear.
"Yeah, Fluffy. Who's more of a man?"
"That would be me."
"You're more of a woman than a man." Inuyasha said smirking.
Kagome jumped in. "Actually I'm pretty sure Rin has something to say about that." Rin and Sesshomaru both turned a bright shade of pink.
