A Broken Miko And A Dance

Inuyasha stared at Kagome in absolute shock. This was why she was like this? As a goth? And it all happened in one summer vacation? Kagome's eyes looked like something was tearing her up from the inside. And now he knew why.

"H-he raped you?"

Kagome nodded. "Yes. And then, considering his father's position, him being a lawyer and all, he covered it up somehow. I tried not to trust anyone like I trusted him, since then."

Inuyasha raised one clawed hand to wipe away another tear that was making a long trip down her cheek. "This is how you became a goth, isn't it?"

"Not exactly… That same summer, shortly after the event, I met Kouga. I had hardly known him in junior high. I just knew that he was a goth. He 'helped' me, whatever that is."

Inuyasha nodded. "So, you had to move to the shrine with your gramps, after you're parents were killed?"

Kagome nodded. "Yes. Kouga and I had become fast friends, but I don't think I ever loved him more than as a friend, we started to go out. I didn't complain. I had told him all my problems, and practically the reason I was so traumatized. He never used to bring it up that much, until I became interested in you. That's when he supposedly became abusive. And after being around him long enough, I was just as bad as him with fighting and stuff. Had it not been for him, I would still be... normal." She said, softly.

"Kagome, you trusted Kouga, didn't you? If only for a short time?"

Kagome smiled a bittersweet smile. "Yeah... I did… Figures I really couldn't trust him."

Inuyasha only pulled the depressed miko into his warm embrace, and she cried even more. Inuyasha smoothed her hair, and made soothing sounds.

"Kagome, you don't have to be like this anymore. You don't have to lock your heart away from the world. I'm here for you. And, so are the others."

Kagome let out a loud wail, and only clutched his very damp shirt tighter.

This is what she's been keeping in, for three whole years... Inuyasha thought, as he kept running his clawed hands through her hair.

Minutes passed, then almost an hour, and he still held her while she cried. He wouldn't let her go. She'd been through enough. Rather it was for today, or for the past three years.

Kagome's sobs slowly dissolved into small sniffles. "We sh… should get back, shouldn't we?"

Inuyasha shook his head. "No, if you aren't ready to go back yet, I'll stay."

Kagome only nodded her response as she soon fell asleep in his warmth, like the night before. I can only hope to do this every day, or night...

33333333333333333333333333333333333

You don't need to be like this...

You don't need to lock your heart away from the world...

Inuyasha's words echoed through the young miko's mind as she stared at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black tank top with jeans. She had long ago stopped wearing so many piercings. She only had them in her ears now, and sometimes she didn't even have those.

Kagome stared at her reflection. "Do I really need to be this way? So isolated and untrusting of others?" She asked herself, as she did a double take in the mirror.

She walked over to her closet and timidly slid back the door. Way, in the far back, was a dress. It was a yellow sun-dress. It would go in the air, if she turned around. She's had the dress for over a year now. It was a gift from a distant relative.

Just then, the bedroom door opened. Souta popped his head in. "Kagome, Inuyasha is outside waiting for you, hey are you okay?"

Kagome's cloudy eyes took on a more solid and normal look. "Huh? I'm good. Tell him I'll be out in a minute."

Souta seemed reluctant and looked as if he wanted to ask if she was alright again, but he only nodded and closed the door.

Kagome walked over near her bed, and grabbed her backpack. With one last wistful look at the yellow sun dress, she headed out the door, downstairs.

I can't do it, at least, not yet.

Outside, Inuyasha was somewhat relaxed in the car as he waited for Kagome. He somehow felt a little better, knowing what and who had hurt her, after all this time. It showed she really did trust him now. Not only that, it showed that she really loved him like she said she did. If only he could get her out of this goth thing. He could tell she hadn't always wanted to be this way. She needed his love above anything else, and he would help her through this depression, and out of this goth thing, something that she didn't want to be.

"Hey, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha jumped at her voice, as Kagome closed the door when she got in the car. "You startled me. You ready?"

Kagome smiled an actual warm smile and nodded. "Yeah, I am."

Inuyasha returned her smile and drove off, towards the school.

33333333333333333333333333333333333

"Where were you guys yesterday! We were so worried!" Sango ranted on, as they all walked inside the school building.

Kagome smiled. "Sango-chan, you have nothing to worry about. We were fine."

"But still, you could've called us after school and- did you just call me Sango-chan?" She asked, wide-eyed.

Kagome's smile grew wider. "I guess I did." She said, walking ahead and falling into step next to Inuyasha.

Miroku was having a good time of making possible explanations as to what the two could've done, meanwhile. "C'mon, Inuyasha. You can tell me. You guys did the nasty on the school roof or something?"

Inuyasha growled. "You stupid pervert, no we didn't do that!" He yelled, his face suddenly becoming hot.

"Judging by your tone and face, I'd say something happened."

"Miroku, you're one of my best friends, but shut up before I gut you!"

Sango quickly cut into the two's 'conversation' to get everyone's minds off Inuyasha and Kagome's sex life.

"So, are you two going to the Spring Dance, this Friday?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "There's a dance this Friday!"

Sango nodded, slowly.

"Why are you just now telling me? It's Wednesday!"

Miroku laughed. "Calm down, we just found out yesterday. In class, where we were supposed to be unlike some people." He added, for extra fun.

Inuyasha growled and smacked Miroku upside the head. "Stupid, lecher." He mumbled, as he turned left and walked down a different hallway.

Sango shook her head. "Anyway, are you two going?"

Inuyasha shrugged and turned to look at Kagome, who seemed to thinking about something. "What do ya say, Kagome? You wanna go to that dance?"

Kagome was snapped out of her reverie from the sound of his voice. "Huh? What?"

Inuyasha blinked. "I said… do you wanna go to the Spring Dance?"

Kagome shrugged. "Sure. When is it?"

"This Friday."

Sango suddenly clapped her hands together and squealed. "Yay! You can go shopping for dresses with me, Kagome-chan!"

Kagome smiled at the given nickname from her old friend. "I guess so. Later today?"

"Yup. See ya! I gotta go to class now!" Sango yelled, cheerful as ever as she ran down the hall. Kagome sweat-dropped at her cheery mood, then smiled. She's been doing that a lot today.

She looked back at Inuyasha, who was staring at her. "Well, see ya at lunch," she said, reaching up and giving him a peck on the cheek. He smiled in turn. "Yeah, see ya later! Don't run into any scrawny wolves today, huh?" He said, over his shoulder as he walked down the hallway, long silver hair swaying behind him.

Kagome smiled a lazy smile. "I love being me," she said, before entering English class.

33333333333333333333333333333333333

"Oooh! Kagome! How does this one look?" Sango asked, as she tried on a dark blue long, very long, dress.

Kagome frowned and leaned against one of the clothing racks. "Ugh, try something shorter, Sango-chan. You aren't a nun."

Sango furrowed her brow as she stared at the dress as well. "I guess you're right. I'll go for something a little shorter." She said, grabbing a knee length magenta dress off the rack instead.

"Perfect, it's just you're color too, Sango." Kagome said, as a black dress with red stripes going down it diagonally caught her attention.

"Isn't it? I think Miroku will really love it."

Kagome cocked a brow and smirked as she pulled the dress off the rack. "Oh? So it's for Miroku?"

Sango's face instantly turned red. "U-Uh, did I say that out loud?"

Kagome chuckled. "Admit it, Sango. You love Miroku. You always have."

Sango's face turned an even deeper shade of red. "W-well you love Inuyasha!"

"Sure do."

"Dammit, Kagome!"

333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

As you would've thought, the next day went by fast, and Friday night was soon here. So, we bring ourselves to venture into a certain nervous, very nervous, miko's room.

Kagome stared at herself with a critical eye in the mirror. She couldn't feel more nervous tonight. It had been a whole three years since she went to a dance, all dressed up. She and Kouga had never done this type of thing. Though, she couldn't help but be glad that she was going to the dance, with her boyfriend, Inuyasha.

Only one more thing to worry about though, would Inuyasha even like the dress she had? Was she wearing too much makeup? Not enough? So confusing.

Kagome sighed as she leaned over her dresser and grabbed a tube of red lipstick, carefully going over lips with it; she puckered her lips and smiled some. She put the lipstick down and picked up an eye-lash curler. Sweat rolled down the side of her face. I haven't used one of these in a long time...

"Kagome! Inuyasha's downstairs!" Souta yelled, bursting in the room.

"Ahh!" Kagome yelled, throwing the eye-lash curler in the air, and watched as it hit the dresser. "Dammit, Souta! Knock next time!"

Souta rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Whatever, spaz, go see him." He said, walking downstairs.

Kagome looked at the eye-lash curler again and shuddered. "No fucking way," she said, as she walked over to the bed and picked up her purse.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was downstairs being interrogated by Kagome's grandfather.

"Are you sure you aren't an evil demon!" He yelled.

Inuyasha sighed. "What the hell do you mean 'am I sure'? I'd know if I was!"

Jii-chan leaned back in his chair. "I'm watching you."

Inuyasha snorted. "Might wanna put on your glasses then, old man."

"Such disrespect." Jii-chan said.

Souta chuckled. "Um, Kagome should be down in a minute. Gramps is just a little nervous because he has an all-night poker game tonight. Lucky for me, I don't have to go with him! I get to spend the night over my friend, Shito's house!"

Inuyasha nodded. "That's nice to know, I guess."

Just then, there was a creak on the stairs and Kagome entered the room. Inuyasha's mouth could've caught flies, with it hanging open like that.

Kagome was wearing the black dress with diagonal stripes, and the dress only came to mid-thigh. And it hugged her curves perfectly. Her lips were painted a bright red, and her long raven hair cascaded over her shoulders and down her back.

She timidly stepped down the stairs and smiled. "So, how do I look?"

Inuyasha walked up to her, mouth still open, and looked her up and down. Kagome was waiting for him to say it was too revealing or something, but it never happened. Instead, he let out a low whistle.

"You... look ... gorgeous."

Kagome's cheeks became a pretty shade of pink.

Souta laughed from where he was standing. "Aw! Look, she's blushing!"

"Shut up, Souta!" Kagome said, her face becoming even redder.

Inuyasha smiled. "You really do look beautiful. And it's nice to see you in something other than just black."

"I-I kinda figured you'd like it, so I couldn't resist buying it." Kagome said, smiling a little. "By the way, you don't look bad either."

Inuyasha smirked. "Don't I know it," he said. Inuyasha sported a black tux that had the jacket only half-way open, and the shirt under that was kinda thin, so you could see his toned… very, very, toned chest.

"Well, you two get going. As soon as you leave, I can get going to my poker game!" Jii-chan shouted.

Kagome nodded and walked out of the door, with Inuyasha following behind her.

333333333333333333333333333333333

"Kagome! You look so beautiful!" Sango commented, as her friend entered the school gym.

Kagome's cheeks took on a light shade of red. "Uh, thank you. You look like nice too, Sango."

Sango smiled. "Thank you. I gotta go find Miroku now." She said, wandering off somewhere in the gym.

Kagome smiled and shook her head and Inuyasha took her hand. "Ready to dance?" He asked her, with a smirk planted on his face, remembering the last time they danced.

Kagome smirked as well. "Oh yeah." She said, as Inuyasha lead her to the center of the dance floor.

The lights of the room bounced off the walls as the song 'Throwed' by Chris Brown echoed through the room as well. (Don't Own It)

Oh! I can't wait for us to be alone! So just tell me what ya say, ma…

Kagome smirked as she moved closer to Inuyasha and wrapped one arm around his neck. Inuyasha didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her waist as they moved.

We been keepin' it one hundred up to this far!

With her arms still wrapped around his neck Kagome turned around so her back was to him, and grinded into him some.

Inuyasha's smirk grew wider, as he could only hold her hips as she did so.

So what you wanna do? I'm trying to keep it but I'm loosin' my cool!

Kagome grew tired of grinding after a couple of seconds and proceeded to drop it like it's hot.

Inuyasha let out his second low whistle for that night, as he watched her drop down to the floor, and pop back up, grinding into his member as she did so.

Cause shawty got me throwed!

Kagome spun back around to face him, gyrating her hips perfectly, as she did so. She wrapped one leg around his, and practically hung off of him.

Lil' mama, lil mama, she got me throwed, yeah!

Inuyasha ran one hand up her bare thigh and almost without her noticing it, pulled up her leg to have it near his other one.

Tell me! Tell me, what ya say ma!

Miroku and Sango watched from the other side of the gym. "Damn." Miroku said, stretching the word out.

Sango nodded with her mouth wide open. "Oh wow, I didn't think she could bend like that."

"I wish I knew ahead of time she could." Miroku said.

"They don't even realize that they've been dancing like that for almost an hour. It's damn near 11!" Sango said, in awe.

Girl you got that knock, I hear it down the block...

Inuyasha practically buried his face in the crook of her neck. "Let's get out of here..." He whispered.

"We just got here."

Inuyasha inhaled her scent again. "Don't matter. Let's go."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah," she said, as she untangled herself from Inuyasha and took his hand as she led him out of the gym doors.

Sango and Miroku were awe-struck. "They're leaving together. I didn't think Kagome had it in her." Sango said.

Miroku only stared. "I wish I had known that she had it in her!"

333333333333333333333333333333333

Inuyasha and Kagome burst through the doors of her house while kissing furiously. Kagome's arms were wrapped around his neck, where they always were, and her tongue was deep inside his mouth.

Inuyasha moaned as he quickly ran up the stairs with her in his arms, and into her room. He gently put her down on the bed while still kissing her, and kicked his shoes off.

Kagome practically ripped open his tuxedo jacket, and was already unbuttoning the undershirt. Inuyasha leaned down from his position above her and planted light feather-like kisses on her tender neck, which sent hundreds of shivers down her spine.

Kagome had a sharp intake of breath, at his touch, and her eyes suddenly focused on his. "You -pant- still want me even after I told you...?"

Inuyasha planted a light kiss on her forehead and nodded. "I'd still want you if that happened 1,000 times." He said, using the tip of his claw to peel off the top part of her dress.

Kagome only nodded as she kissed him furiously. Her tongue mingled with his, her tongue running over his fangs. In the end, his tongue won the supposed battle. Inuyasha had stopped to stare at the beauty that was Kagome. Her bosom was full, and they were so round and perfect to a tee.

"Beautiful..." He murmured as he planted a kiss on both of them. Kagome moaned as he did so, and her hands almost instantly went to the belt buckle on his pants.

She threw the belt off as he slid down the rest of her dress. Begrudgingly, Inuyasha left the warmth of Kagome's body long enough to discard his pants and boxers, as well as assist in the removal of her undergarments. Once the clothing as thrown into a corner of the room they were ready in eager anticipation.

Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a small peck on the lips. Inuyasha smirked. "Tease," he said, as he cupped her cheek and showed her what her earlier actions had done to him.

He continued his languid kisses upon her throat and chest, while his warm member slowly entered her. Kagome gasped, and moaned all in one as the sensation of his member slowly stretched her aching walls. This was different from her first time, more sensual and loving in contrast to the pain and wanton actions of the lawyer and his bastard son. As he slowly built up his speed, Kagome relished the feel of his tool in her body, nearly loosing it with every thrust.

Inuyasha continued to trail kisses from her breasts to her throat and back again, keeping his pace slow enough to be enjoyable and yet not fast enough to end to quickly. Kagome allowed her hands to run along his toned chest, feeling the ripple of muscles under her palms as he moved. One thrust, was practically enough to send her over, way over the edge.

As he placed his lips against hers, taking his pace up a notch, knowing that she was near her peak and that he was soon to follow, Inuyasha heard Kagome whine at the increased pace. After a few more vigorous thrusts, he knew she was about to climax.

Pulling away from her lips for a mere second, he called out to her in a husky voice, "Its okay… let go of yourself, I'm here to keep you safe."

As if on queue, Kagome relaxed in his grip, allowing the climax to wrack her body as it never had done before. She dug her nails into his shoulders as the waves of passion flowed through her body, leaving her gasping for air. With the clenching of her tight passage around his buried member, Inuyasha couldn't resist the urges of his own body. With a roar of his own, Inuyasha thrust once more into the warm depths of her aching body. Once the waves of pleasure wore off, Inuyasha eased himself to her side, still buried into her heated core.

"Kami, I love you." Kagome whispered, as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, pulling her body closer to his.

I love him so much…

Uh, hope you liked my perverted display. Not really a veteran at writing lemons. I absolutely MUST thank my friend and fave reviewer, who I now have an conjoined account with, for helping me write this! Love ya bud! Well, review to help me reach 300, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' Entitled: InuYasha's Birthday: Party at the Mansion!

Question Of The Day: Would you had wanted to be in Inuyasha's and Kagome's current position?
