Chapter 4 - Everything is embarrassing

Kagome went directly to the ladies room to fix her lipstick because well, she and Inuyasha had just kissed. As she remembered this, she almost freaked out right there. She had just fixed her makeup when a tall girl, who had black straight hair and was wearing a blue gown, stopped her.

- You're Inuyasha's cousin, right? It's so nice to meet you! I'm Kikyo. I hope we can be friends; I'll be staying a few houses from here with my family. –

- Oh. Nice to meet you too. – Kagome answered nicely.

- I didn't know the Taishos had a niece living in America. I'm embarrassed to say this but I was Inuyasha's girlfriend for three years. I'm actually hoping to get back together with him. – She said looking embarrassed – I hope you can help me out in that department, I'm sure he listens to his cousin –

- We're … we're not that close – Kagome answered with a mixture of nervousness and jealousy – By the way, are you an actress? I'm almost sure I've seen you in movies – She concluded, wanting to change the subject. –

- Yes, the last movie I filmed was Blood and Salt with Inuyasha. I'm 25 years old by the way! I'm really bad at introducing myself - She said with a small laugh – How about you? And are you a high school student? –

- I'm 21. I'm a student, but a college one. – Kagome said embarrassed as the two of them walked out the ladies room.

- Still very young though – Kikyo answered as Inuyasha arrived with them, looking stressed and conflicted.

- Ka … Misaki, can I talk to you? Please? – Inuyasha said quickly, not really acknowledging his surroundings.

- Hello to you too, Yasha- Kikyo said with a flirty voice. –

- Oh, hello Kikyo. I didn't notice you were here, sorry. –

- I'm going to leave you guys alone. I have something to do- Kagome suddenly said, unable to look at Inuyasha. As she walked away she heard him say her 'name' to stop her, but she just kept walking.

Kagome found Sesshomaru and they began talking about his most recent novel. They were having a nice chat when Kagome saw Kikyo grabbing Inuyasha and taking him to the dance floor. He didn't seem into it, but she convinced him in the end. Just when the two of them were dancing, Inuyasha glanced to where Kagome was and she turned her eyes away and continued talking to the eldest Taisho brother. He mentioned that Izayoi wasn't her birth mother and that he was the son of Mr. Taisho's first marriage. His mother had died in an accident when he was two years old and didn't remember much. Kagome was surprised about hearing all of this when a young and handsome man joined them.

- Hello, friend – He said towards Sesshomaru – Won't you introduce me? –

- Hi Koga, as you probably know, this is my cousin Misaki. Misaki, this is Koga, he's 25 and is the son of our parents partners in business. – Sesshomaru said politely.

Great Kagome thought sarcastically. Another rich and successful person.

- Nice to meet you – Kagome said looking at Koga – I'm Misaki, 21 and a college student – she said almost repeating what she had been saying all night long.

- Really? What's your major? I just graduated from H College, business as my major. – He said, sparkling Kagome's interest.

- Engineering. They say H College is difficult. You must be really smart. –

- Says the one who is studying engineering – He answered with a laugh.

Izayoi called Sesshomaru and he had to excuse himself. Koga and Kagome talked smoothly about school and other topics, they even laughed very often. Inuyasha saw this from the distance and something boiled in his veins. He went over to them and greeted Koga. He acted very natural and friendly, since Koga was someone he knew since he was a kid, after all. Koga casually said to Inuyasha that not only he had a smart cousin but a beautiful one. Kagome blushed and this made Inuyasha angry. If I could just tell you I was just kissing her, he thought. Kagome couldn't handle how weird Inuyasha was acting and how suspicious Koga was getting, so she excused herself and walked in Izayoi's direction. Just when she was about to greet her, Commander Naraku grabbed her arm.

- Care to dance? – He said with that frivolous look he had that made Kagome really nervous.

- Sure – She said casually, but in reality feeling very anxious. He led her to the dance floor and got her close to him.

- So you're 21 and a college student? – He said while they began dancing – At least that's the only thing everybody knows about you, right now you're a mystery. – He said with a dry laugh.

- There's not much to know, I'm a simple person – Said Kagome while preventing Naraku's hand from touching her butt.

- Oh sorry, my hand slipped. – He said amused – You're a beautiful young woman, very sexy as well … I'm very interested to getting to know you.

His comments made Kagome want to cry of anger and disgust. He hated that man so badly. She'd never had this type of feelings towards a person. As soon as the song was over, she said she wanted a glass of water and quickly walked away or more like ran away. This left Naraku with a smirk and the determination to get to know 'Misaki' better.

Everything became blurry as she got out of the ballroom through a back door so people wouldn't notice her 'escape'. She passed the kitchen, some living rooms and finally found the door to the beach. She took her shoes off and carried them in her hands, she began running in the sand and tears fell through her cheeks, yet again. She found the stairs that lead to her balcony and then her room and she quickly walked upstairs. She took her dress off and remained in her underwear lying on her bead and crying. It was obvious she needed to be strong, for her mother and for justice. But letting that sick man, touch her even a little felt incredibly wrong.

She saw the watch besides her bed and noticed it was already 2 AM. She didn't intend to be rude and go without excusing herself but she was really tired. She took her bra off, found a lace dress from her closet and put it on, wiped the makeup from her face and let down her hair from that messy bun. She tugged herself in bed and was prepared to sleep when a knock was heard on the door.

- Who is it? – Kagome answered, worried it might be Izayoi or someone that might lecture her for going away so rudely.

- It's me – Inuyasha answered.

- Go away. – Kagome said quickly going to the door and locking it.

- Let me in –

- You're just wasting your time – Kagome said defiantly but received no answer.

Two minutes or so passed without any noise, and Kagome felt relaxed again and went to her bed. Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a 'Boo' and she let out a dry scream. It was Inuyasha, who sat down next to her and saw how red Kagome's eyes were.

- You've been crying. I saw how Naraku touched you. I wanted to fucking kill him. – He said straight to the point.

- How did you get in here? – Kagome said scared and Inuyasha simply pointed at the balcony.

- I just wanted to make sure you were okay. – He said getting closer to her.

She remembered what had happened earlier and quickly got out of bed. She walked towards the door and opened it. Inuyasha saw the nightgown she was wearing and got turned on. He couldn't believe it; he was acting like a virgin.

- Are you kicking me out? – He said while walking towards Kagome.

- I am. Get out. –

- Oh? Just now you were taking my tongue in and now you don't even want to spend time with me? – He said with a smirk while she saw Kagome turn the strongest shade of red.

- Don't make it sound as something else, you pervert. Besides, it was a mistake. You were forceful and pushy and I didn't know what to do. –

- Mmm? Then should I be forceful and pushy again? – He said getting close to Kagome's face, having to kneel down a lot since she was very short.

- Don't. – She simply said as she blushed even harder and turned her face away from him.

He found this so entertaining and her smell turned him on even more, if that was possible. He kneeled down a little more and kissed her neck. He took a chance, groped Kagome's butt and got close to her on purpose, so she could feel his hard on. She opened her already big eyes in surprise and slapped him, really hard this time. She pushed him out of the room while he was complaining and locked it. She hurried up and closed the balcony's door, too. She covered her face in embarrassment and didn't want to admit, that she was turned on too.
