Chapter 8 – Rollercoaster
5 AM
Kagome woke up earlier than usual and even though she wanted to go congratulate Rin for her birthday, she knew it was too early and she probably wasn't awake yet.
She took a long bath while hearing music and then when she was done, she changed into some denim shorts and a cute navy blue shirt. She went downstairs to get something to eat when she heard some noises in the room where the Taishos usually had their business meetings and she figured they were having an early meeting. She went to the kitchen and Akio confirmed what she thought. She had breakfast with Akio and when she was walking to her bedroom to brush her teeth, the Taishos came out of the room she had seen before with none other than Naraku.
- Oh, good morning Misaki. Didn't expect you to be early so soon. We were having a business meeting with commander Naraku. – Said Izayoi.
- Morning Misaki. You look just as beautiful in shorts. – Naraku said looking at her with the same disgusting look on his face.
- Morning, everyone. I'm waiting for an important phone call and I left my cellphone in my room. I have to rush, sorry. – Kagome said kindly, trying her best to be polite. She hurried up to her room.
When she opened her bedroom's door, the first thing she noticed was that the strange lily she had … well … acquired, was not in the place she had left it but placed beside her bed. She grabbed it and took it back to the little desk it was before. Her door suddenly opened, with no knocking first whatsoever, and she saw Naraku entering abruptly.
- Misaki, sorry for entering like this so rudely. – He said with a smirk on his face. – But I think you should know by now that I'm interested in you. What I want I get. –
- S … sorry. I don't know what you're talking about. Please leave. – Kagome said firmly.
- Don't play stupid, little girl. I want you in my bed. You don't want to offend your uncle and aunt right? They really respect me. You should do what I say. –
- Please, go. I won't tolerate this. –
When Kagome was backing away from him, and planning to escape through her balcony, Naraku grabbed her and threw her into the bed. She tried screaming but he covered her mouth really strongly. She fought, or at least tried to, but it was no good. He was just too strong. Just when he began unbuckling his pants, with not much luck because of how much Kagome was fighting back, he suddenly stopped moving and just kind of fell down on top of Kagome. She was still in shock that she was about to be attacked and when she calmed down, she pushed him and he fell to the floor. She saw that he looked as if he was asleep. How the hell did he fell asleep just like that? Then, she noticed the lily that she had just moved to the desk near the window, was back in the desk beside her bed. She understood. She didn't know how or what it was, but she knew that the flower had saved her. She frowned and began crying. She ran through the long hall and unconsciously arrived at Inuyasha's door and began knocking it with all of her might. When he opened the door, clearly annoyed by being woken up, he came to his senses when he saw Kagome hysterical and crying. She quickly said what had happened, only left the part where Naraku had just fallen asleep just like that. She said to him that she kicked him in the head so hard that he fell unconscious. Then, Inuyasha became furious. Kagome had never seen someone so angry in her whole life. He said he was going to 'fucking' kill Naraku and went to Kagome's room hurriedly. Kagome was trying to catch up to him, shouting to him to not do something crazy that would get him arrested but it seemed nothing worked. Because all the shouting, Sesshomaru went outside his office and grabbed Inuyasha to try and calm him down. Kagome explained, as quickly as possible, what had happened and Sesshomaru understood why his brother was so angry, yet he couldn't let him ruin his life for some bastard. When things calmed down the three of them went to Kagome's room and saw the unconscious Naraku on the floor. Sesshomaru and Kagome where coming up with a plan while Inuyasha was extremely frustrated, just watching that bastard on the floor.
7:30 AM
Naraku woke up in the Taisho's living room and saw a blurry image of Akio and Kagome around him. He just remembered entering Kagome's room and then everything was blank. He remembered nothing. He told exactly that to Kagome and Akio, while they offered him water and medicine.
- Commander Naraku, you entered my room and you fainted just like that. I was really scared and called Akio and we took you to this living room and waited for you to wake up. You probably have a really bad headache because you fell on the hard floor. How are you feeling? – Kagome said, really calm.
- Oh, sorry to have caused trouble. Work has been busy and I haven't been sleeping well. That is probably why I fainted. – He said, still confused.
- You want me to call the Taishos? We haven't had time to tell them, we apologize. – Akio said, knowing what had really happened and knowing that he probably did still remember why he came into Kagome's room in the first place.
- N… no, no. That won't be necessary, why bother them right? – Naraku said with a nervous laugh.
- Oh, okay. I'm glad you're okay. I'll be leaving now since I have an appointment soon. Excuse me. – Kagome said while turning around and leaving the room.
She arrived at her room and Inuyasha was waiting for her there. She ran to him and hugged him really tightly while finally crying to her heart's content. The Taishos already knew what had happened and decided to hurry up the plan to finally get Naraku and throw his ass in jail.
When Rin woke up, being her 18th birthday, Izayoi told her what had happened. She rushed to Kagome's bedroom and hugged her tightly and started crying really loudly. This made Kagome and Inuyasha laugh a little bit because Rin was being very dramatic. When she calmed down, they finally said 'happy birthday' to her and gave her a hug, each. She told Kagome that she 'totally understood' if she didn't want to go to the nightclub.
- No, that's fine. I could use a drink. – Kagome said, making Rin and Inuyasha laugh.
10:30 AM
Rin knocked Sesshomaru's office door and when he said 'come in' she quietly entered the room. He was in a phone call and Rin blushed a little remembering how their relationship was going. She was still a high school student and she remembered one of her friends telling her that Sesshomaru, 'the mysterious author' she said, was 'seriously hot'. Of course Rin didn't mention it was her cousin she was talking about.
While Rin was deep in thought, while arranging some paperwork, Sesshomaru hugged her from behind and told her she didn't have to work that day because it was her birthday. Just when she turned around to tell him it was fine, that she didn't mind, he gave her a sweet kiss and gave her a bouquet of Juliet Roses. She was a know-it-all of flowers and it was kind of her hobby, so she knew. They were very expensive, to say the least.
- Kagome told me that you are obsessed with flowers and you told her the story of the creation of this particular rose. Happy birthday. – Sesshomaru said with his usual cold expression but Rin could always see his true feelings.
- Thanks. – Rin said smelling the roses very happily.
Now I'm running and I can't stop anywhere I go
I think about it everyday and night I can't let go
Man, I'm never the same
We were shot gun lovers
7 PM
Kagome made Rin go shopping earlier where they bought outfits and had someone do their make up. What Rin didn't know was that Izayoi was planning a surprise party for Rin at the beach where she, as always, had beautifully decorated everything and that's why she needed Rin to go so she didn't notice. Izayoi knew that the girls wanted to go to the nightclub so they were allowed to leave the party at 12 AM, when the club opened. The two girls arrived at the summerhouse looking very pretty. Everyone shouted "surprise" and Rin seemed incredibly happy and everyone hugged her and congratulated her. Inuyasha quickly walked to Kagome and asked her quietly if she was feeling better to which she said yes.
Two hours had passed and everyone seemed to be having a really good time with cool music and great weather. Kagome had been talking to Koga for a while getting lost on her surroundings when she noticed Inuyasha chatting with three girls. He had his arm around a tall blonde, while laughing and drinking. That's when Kagome remembered the reason she couldn't trust him or 'give in' completely. In her heart, she felt as if she would never be enough for him. 'He will get bored … maybe it's already happening" she thought. How could anyone trust someone as famous as him? It wasn't so much a matter of feeling inferior, but a matter of logic. Still, with reason and everything, she couldn't help but feel jealous and frustrated. She knew she wanted to cry.
- Are you all right Misaki? – Koga asked nicely.
- Oh yeah, sorry! I was just thinking about the club Rin is forcing me to go tonight. – She said laughing. – It's her birthday so I can't refuse.
- It's going to be great. Actually, tonight is the opening. I'm the owner so I'm hoping you'll change your mind of nightclubs after going tonight. – He said smiling.
- Really? That's great. Congrats on the opening. –
- Yes. I gave Rin VIP passes for tonight. You both girls will be in the same area as my friends and me. –
- Great! I'll see you there then. –
- About that … I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go with me. As in a date. – Koga said really confident.
- I … I … - Kagome was about to refuse when he saw Inuyasha grabbing the blonde by the waist. – I would love to. – Kagome said finally.
- Cool, I'll see you later then since I have to go arrange the final details for tonight. I'll come pick you up at 12, okay? –
10:30 PM
When Inuyasha could finally 'escape' the group of girls he was talking with, he went to where Kagome was and interrupted her chat with Rin. Sesshomaru called the younger girl and she excused herself, leaving them both alone.
- What did you talk with Koga about? – Inuyasha quickly said, not even saying hello.
- I agreed to be his date tonight, on his nightclub opening. –
- What? It's a joke right? – Inuyasha said, showing his frustration.
- No. –
- What the fuck Kagome? – He whispered while holding her wrist tightly.
- Let go. –
- You can't. I won't allow it. I'm also going tonight and you'll go with me. That's the end of the story. –
- No – She said while freeing herself from his grip. – You can go with the blonde over there that you clearly want to fuck. –
- Is this about that? Come on, I can't help being a little flirty. It doesn't mean anything. –
- It's totally fine. It does not concern me. – Said Kagome, holding back her tears and pulling herself together.
- Come on. Don't be like that. You know that I only like you. –
- Stop saying that. You are a liar! – She whispered while looking to the floor. – Just don't talk to me, okay? Go away! –
Kagome turned around and quickly went up the stairs that led to her bedroom. Inuyasha followed making sure and confirming no one was paying attention to the situation. Just as she was about to close the doors of her balcony, he stopped her and also went inside her room, closing the doors behind them.
- My baby kitten is so scary when she's jealous. – He said while hugging her from behind.
- Go away. I hate you. –
- The only reason I was flirting with her was because you were so happy talking with Koga. I wanted you to pay attention to me. – He said, clearly sulking.
- You are a man whore. – Kagome said, still giving her back to him.
- Oh? – He said with a little laugh – Won't you turn around and face me? –
- No. I don't want to see your arrogant stupid face. –
- That's too bad. I really want to see your cleavage. What a nice little black dress you're wearing. – He said while groping Kagome's butt.
- Watch it you idiot! – She said while finally facing him and pushing him softly.
- Hmm … there they are. What a nice pair of them. – He said clearly staring.
- Pervert. –
- Won't you give this pervert a little kiss? Just one? –
- Not a chance – She said, while walking to her bed and sitting down with her arms crossed. Inuyasha followed her and sat down next to her. – Go back to the party. I don't want to see you right now.
- Don't be rude. – He said while leaning in and giving Kagome a small peck on the lips, enough to make her face red.
- Stop … -
We took the bones out from the road
Those endless nights that we traveled we stole
You let your clothes fall to the floor
And lit a fire while I waited for more
