Kagome huffed as she walked out the restroom. Okay, so she declared war and swore she'd kill Inuyasha tonight…or sometime soon. But…where the hell does she start?!

Groaning in frustration, she sat down in a vacant seat at a vacant table. She wasn't exactly ready to go back yet, not until she had a plan in mind. She saw Inuyasha across the ballroom, completely oblivious to her burning glare.

Crossing her arms and frowning in dismay, Kagome tore her gaze away from the infuriating hanyou. Instead, she focused her eyes on the jazz band and the singer. After staring at them for a few minutes, the light bulb went off in her head. A malicious smile graced her features.

xOxO

Inuyasha smirked as he watched Kagome walking back to their table. That smirk faltered, however, when he saw a smile on her face. Quirking an eyebrow, he tried to study her motives as she sat back down on her seat. Ok…what was going on?

"Lady Kagome, are you feeling alright?" asked one of the associates.

"Oh, yes. I'm fine. I just had to redo my eyeliner."

The associate, Mr. Ookami, nodded with a smile. "Hmm…you know, I have a son around Inuyasha's age. His name is Kouga. Are you, by any chance, acquainted with him?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Kagome saw Inuyasha clench his fist. Smiling, she replied, "No, I haven't. But I'm sure I'd love to meet him some time soon."

"NO, she's---!!" Inuyasha suddenly stood up as he started to yell. Catching himself, he stopped and lowered his voice. Everyone turned to look at him while Sesshoumaru merely smirked. "---um...she's unable to uh, meet him so soon. She has to meet a…a few others first."

Sitting back down, Inuyasha popped his collar. "Forgive me for my sudden outburst." He said in a business-like manner. Mr. Ookami and the others smiled and nodded while his father gave him a bewildered look. Kagome kept a straight face, although inside, she couldn't wait to crack up and laugh.

A few minutes passed with the usual talking and laughing between the table. The only place where it was quiet was between Inuyasha and Kagome. The tension was so heavy, you could almost cut the air with a knife.

Inuyasha had begun to fiddle and play with the cloth of his pants by his knee, becoming antsy with the awkward silence. He contemplated over and over in his mind about what to say. Really, was this wench planning something?

Kagome on the other hand, noticed the hanyou's actions and smiled maliciously on the inside. Oh, how she was enjoying this.

'Someone's gonna die tonight…' she chimed in her head.

"So…" Inuyasha began, but as soon as that word left his mouth, he regretted it. Try as he might, no matter how fast his mind was reeling, he couldn't come up with anything.

"So?" Kagome prodded with a smile.

"Uh…how are you doing?" Inuyasha asked. He winced at how stupid he sounded, but really, that's the first thing his mind came up with. Actually, that was the only thing his mind could come up with.

Kagome pretended to blink in confusion. She knew she was winning this game. "Um…I'm fine I guess."

"Huh? You're…you're not mad? For earlier, I mean."

Kagome put on a fake smile. "Oh no. No I'm not. Don't worry about it."

Inuyasha looked at her doubtedly. "Oh?"

"Really." Kagome said, smiling even wider to try and ensure him.

It unnerved Inuyasha that her smile could look so creepy. He could tell it was a forced smile…he wasn't that stupid…but he had no idea what it meant either. He then looked up at her eyes. For a second, he could've sworn he saw a murderous glint in those orbs. But just as fast as it appeared, it went away.

'Something's not right…' he thought. But then again, what could Kagome do to him? 'Hmm…maybe I'm just seeing things.'

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention?"

Inuyasha and the rest of the gang turned to look at the singer of the jazz band as Kagome smiled mysteriously.

"There's a certain someone that I've known for a quite a while and tonight, I've seen her again after the longest time. I'd like to ask if she'd grace us with a song. Ms. Higurashi..." he paused as he looked over to her. Holding his hand out, he walked towards her. "…will you please?"

Kagome pretended to deny as Inuyasha looked at her with a delirious expression. "Oh, no…I can't."

"Please?" he urged. "Just one song. Guys, help me out here." He asked the audience. They began to chant for Kagome to sing. Kagome smiled and finally conceded.

"Alright…just one song."

The singer took her by the hand and led her to the stage. Inuyasha had to stop himself from growling.

"Wow. Who would've thought she was a singer too, eh, Toga?" Mr. Ookami said.

Toga nodded. "I had no idea, actually."

Rin knew something was wrong. Right when Kagome came back smiling, she knew something was fishy. After banging her head on the table and clutching to the armrest like it was her lifeline, there just had to be something amiss. And to confirm her doubts, Kagome accepted to sing in front of Japan's most prestigious people. But…how? She had stage fright…she couldn't even handle acting in a play in high-school, let alone sing in front of all these people. But she accepted.

"Inuyasha…has she had any alcohol tonight?"

Inuyasha turned to look at Rin…and then at Kagome's glass. Picking it up, he sniffed its contents. "No. Not even wine." He then put it back down. "Why?"

Rin shook her head. "N-never mind. It's nothing."

"Okay." The singer spoke again. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Kagome Higurashi."

The dinner guests clapped as a spotlight shown on Kagome. The band started playing a soft, up-beat rhythm. Kagome then started singing.

I'm feelin sexy
I wanna hear you say my name boy
If you can reach me
You can feel my burning flame

I'm feelin kind of n-a-s-t-y
I might just take you home with me

Inuyasha's widened at the lyrics and vulgarity of the song. He watched as Kagome put motion into her song and moved her curves.

Baby, the minute I feel your energy
Your vibe's just takin' over me
I start feelin so crazy…babe
Baby, I feel the funk coming over me
I don't know what's gotten into me
The rhythm's got me feelin so crazy…babe

Kagome walked off the stage and walked over to the nearest table. To Inuyasha's dismay, it was a table full of boys. They started wolf whistling to her and one even grabbed her hand. Inuyasha made a move to get up and rip that boy apart, but Kagome just pushed down his hand and continued over to the next table.

Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin all my girls

Kagome took the hand of a woman at the next table and pulled her up.

We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body

She led her around to her man and sat the girl down on his lap. The girl only laughed and smiled at Kagome. A few of the other women giggled at this.

Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin' all my girls

Kagome looked straight at Inuyasha as she said this. She walked the rest of the way until she reached her table again.

I see you look me up and down
And I came to party

You're so sexy, tonight I am all yours boy
The way your body moves across the floor

You got me feelin n-a-s-t-y
I might just take you home with me

She sat down on Inuyasha's lap.

Baby the minute I feel your energy
The vibe's just taken over me
I start feelin so crazy…babe
Baby, I feel the funk coming over me
I don't know what's gotten into me
The rhythm's got me feelin so crazy…babe

Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin all my girls
We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin all my girls
I see you look me up and down
And I came to party

She wrapped her arm around Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha was caught in her trance and the lyrics she was singing made blood rush to that particular area. Kagome felt it, and since the spotlight was still on her, moved ever so slowly so that no one would notice. She swirled her hips around in a painfully slow motion that made Inuyasha grunt. He struggled to keep his face straight.

I love to love you baby
I love to love you baby
I love to love you baby

Pushing the microphone away from her mouth, she leaned down and whispered seductively in his ear. "Meaning, I love to make love to you, baby."

Her words sent shivers down his spine as she got up and made her way back to the stage.

She repeated the chorus a couple more times until the end of the song. The audience then began clapping. Some even stood, asking for an encore. Kagome smiled and bowed. Handing the microphone back over to the singer who was supposedly her "friend", she made her way back to her table.

"Wow, Kagome. That was incredible!!" Toga complimented.

"Yes, I must agree. Say, are you planning to join the entertainment business someday?" another man said. Kagome smiled and shook her head. "Well…if you ever need a hook up, just call me." He said, handing her a business card.

"Oh, why, thank you." Kagome replied as she took his card appreciatively.

Rin softly squealed. "Damn, girl!! I didn't know you had so much guts!" she exclaimed, giggling. The whole entertainment made her forget anything was wrong.

Kagome smiled and squealed softly too. "I know, right?"

Hearing a soft growl from her side, Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. "So, how'd you like my performance?" she asked, smiling.

Inuyasha scoffed and crossed his arms. "I think your voice is absolutely horrible. You almost made my ears want to fall off. Not to mention, your song was so inappropriate. Sheesh. And you say I'm disgusting. Keh."

A vein popped in Kagome's head as she pictured setting Inuyasha on fire herself. A few more thoughts that ran along the same line crossed her mind before she smiled. This was the reaction she was expecting.

So her song worked…after all.

'Prepare yourself, Inuyasha. I'm still FAR from done.'

She then picked up her glass and drank from it, feeling somewhat dehydrated from singing. It was then that she realized that she really did have to use the restroom. The first time she went was only to cool her anger. Great. 'I knew I should've gone when I was already in there.'

Getting up a second time, Kagome excused herself and went to the restroom.

xOxO

Kagome smiled to herself as she fixed her hair in front of the mirror. Phase one was finally complete…and her tirade was far from over.

"Ho, Inuyasha. You're going to enjoy yourself tonight." She said, smiling wickedly. After she was done tweaking her hair, Kagome made her way out of the restroom. She barely made it three feet before a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her and pushed her back.

He had a hand over her mouth as he led them to a dark, unoccupied hallway near the restrooms. Kagome tried to scream, but with his hand over her mouth, no sound was emitted. She thrashed around, trying to get out of his hold, but his grip wouldn't budge. No one else witnessed the scene.

He pushed her against the wall. "What were you thinking?!" the figure hissed.

Kagome opened her eyes in realization. She stilled her movements and snatched the hand away from her mouth. "Inuyasha?"

"Duhh. Who else would it be?"

Kagome slapped him on the chest. "You idiot! I thought I was being kidnapped…or raped even!"

"Keh. What do expect after singing a song like that, hmm?"

Kagome quirked an eyebrow. "What are you trying to say?"

Inuyasha looked at her with a 'duh' expression. "Feh. What do you think I'm trying to say, wench?"

Kagome smiled and took a step forward. "Inuyasha…" she whispered seductively. Pushing him against the opposite wall, she placed kisses on his neck. "…I really don't know. Why don't you explain?"

Inuyasha had to swallow a lump that formed in his throat. He let his head tilt up as Kagome moved to his jaw line. "Kagome…"

She let her hands slide down from his arms to his hips. Circling them around his lower back, she pulled his body towards hers. Her mouth traveled down to his apple where her tongue swirled around its shape. A deep rumbling vibrated in his chest as she loosened his tie to kiss the hollow in the middle of his collar bone.

Kagome smiled. So…this was how he felt when he ravaged her body. She hated to admit it, but he was right. This was fun.

Clasping her arms around him again, she tilted her head up and let her lips slide against his. Inuyasha bent down and kissed her. He placed one hand at the small of her back as the other went to the back of her neck.

He asked for entrance, and Kagome granted it. They started battling for dominance. Inuyasha slanted his mouth as he pulled her closer. He took control, and Kagome let him. She only kissed him back will equal passion. Inuyasha smiled on the inside. This was how it was supposed to be…always.

Kagome was getting lost in the kiss. Who knew a kiss could feel so good? She felt so secure in his arms, and it scared her that she didn't want to let him go. But…she had to stop it. Stop before she lost the game.

'No…I'm not through with you yet.'

Kagome pulled away. Inuyasha was breathing hard as he opened his eyes to look at her. "Kagome?"

Kagome reached up to softly pet his ears as that deep rumbling started again. Laughing softly, she pulled his head down and quietly spoke to him again. "Like I promised…tonight, I'll be your naughty girl." His ear twitched, and Kagome giggled. With that, she walked away from him, heading to the table once again.

Inuyasha stared at the wall in front of him. What just happened? He expected her to be mad at him. He expected her to fight him. But he got just the opposite. She wasn't exactly mad. She wasn't even angry. Instead, she was the one who initiated things.

For once in his life, he wasn't the one in control.

He scoffed at the thought, thinking back on how things started out at the beginning of the night. Yup…the events have definitely taken a turn and flipped the tables.

Straightening his composure, he walked to the end of the hallway where he had dragged Kagome in. He leaned against the frame of the wall and just watched Kagome sit down. Rin had turned to her and they started talking. During the entire time, Kagome laughed and smiled. Why was it that she was so bubbly now compared to her earlier attitude?

Thinking even harder, Inuyasha let his thoughts run. That was right. She had been so…how to put it…lifeless and bored-like at the start of the evening. She didn't even look like she was enjoying her dinner, which was composed of Japan's finest dishes. She was totally, and utterly, miserable.

Then, after their little "moment," she went to the bathroom and something definitely changed. Her smile was unnerving and her words were sugarcoated. And her actions were just…bold.

It was then that realization caught up with him.

Of course, he didn't win the title of the number one playboy for nothing. He knew women and their antics. And of course, although Kagome Higurashi was certainly the most alluring of them all, there were still some things that couldn't get past him.

Chuckling, he tilted his head up and let out a sigh of frustration. How was it that it took him so long to notice? Oh, she was good alright. Looking back at the annoyingly beautiful wench, he began to walk back to his seat. Now he knew what she was up to.

She was declaring war.

xOxO

Inuyasha stared at her warily as she continued chatting with Rin. He couldn't believe she almost had him falling for it. She had her fun. It was his turn.

He almost laughed at how unfair it was to her. Of course, being an expert on women, he would easily counter her attacks. But now that he knew what she was up to, he wouldn't even have to wait for her to attack. He'd probably be able to predict her moves.

He was going to let her play this little game she started. He was going to let her try her best to out do him. But oh yes, was she in for it.

A song came on with a tune that Kagome recognized. Her eyes lit up in excitement and her body felt like getting up. It somewhat diminished as she glanced at the hanyou next to her. But the excitement came back as fast as it left when another brilliant idea popped into her head.

She took a hold of Inuyasha's wrist, grabbing his attention. Inuyasha turned to her with a funny look. It threw Kagome off for a second, but she brushed it off and asked him a question that threw him off guard. "You wanna dance?"

Inuyasha scrunched his eyebrows. "What?"

"You wanna dance?" she repeated.

Inuyasha glanced at the dance floor with all its rich snobs and chuckled sarcastically. "Keh. I don't think so."

Kagome blinked. "Why not?" she asked, pouting.

"I…uh, can't dance."

Kagome pouted even more, knowing he was lying.

Inuyasha looked at her again. His hard exterior faltered at the sight of her expression. He had to admit, she looked so adorable with those pleading eyes, the slight angle of her brows, and the huffed-look of her lips. Smiling to himself, he sighed in defeat.

A hopeful smile graced Kagome's face again as she took Inuyasha's sigh as a good sign. "Please?" she pleaded once more.

Inuyasha sighed again. "Alright."

Getting up, Inuyasha took her hand and led her to the ballroom dance floor. "Sad Tango" was playing and as soon as they found their own area, Inuyasha snapped her into his embrace. Putting one hand around her lower back, and holding out the other, he began to lead them.

Moving with the slow, sinful music, Inuyasha twirled Kagome and brought her back. This time, her back met his chest as he led them backwards.

"I thought you said you couldn't dance." Kagome whispered breathlessly, tilting her head over her shoulder.

Her voice made his spine tingle as he gruffly laughed and responded, "Well, yeah. That's in everyone's opinion. Compared to the pros, I really can't."

He twirled her again. Kagome once again faced him and smoldered him with her glare. Playing it cool, she responded, "Oh, well. I say you're pretty good."

"Not too shabby yourself." Inuyasha replied, smirking.

Finally, a note was stretched out and Inuyasha dipped her slowly. Leaning forward, he decided to spill the beans. "I know all about your little 'plan' Kagome."

Kagome tensed, but only for a second. "I don't know what you're talking about." She innocently whispered back.

Inuyasha brought her back up, only to face her the other way. They went down slowly. "Heh. Don't play that with me, Kagome. I know you're waging war with me."

Kagome turned in his arms. "Oh, really? What gives you that idea?"

Inuyasha smirked. "Kagome, Kagome, Kagome…I just know."

Quirking an eyebrow, Kagome took her turn and pushed him back. "You just know?" she scoffed. "And what if you're intuition is wrong?"

The hanyou only laughed and grabbed her intimidating form. "My dear Kagome, you just told me."

Kagome took a moment to let what he said sink in. She slapped herself mentally, berating herself for falling into his trap. The music switched to an eight-step beat with the same tango rhythm. Taking the chance to get the challenge off his mind, Kagome side-stepped and led them through the measure.

Twirling her around, Inuyasha once again placed his chest against her backside. Kagome lifted her hands and clasped them behind his neck as he placed his around her waist. One hand traveled down to the edge of her dress.

"I know all of the little games you're trying to play." He whispered, slowly trailing his hand up her thigh, lifting the dress in the process. Kagome took one hand down to stop his intruding one.

Turning around, she brought them closer together. "And? Point being?"

Inuyasha smiled and led them left. He closed his eyes and listened to her soft panting. The tension grew between them as the dance became more intimate. "You'll never win."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Let's just see about that." And with that, she pulled apart from his grasp and walked away. She intended to walk back to their table and leave him, but Inuyasha easily followed her steps and softly took hold of her arms. Kagome continued walking, but decided to dance it out. Their steps became excruciatingly slow as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her.

"Don't leave me, yet." He whispered.

Kagome shivered at his words and turned to face him. The song was at its climax and Inuyasha decided to bring their position to the most intimate part of the dance. Walking forward slowly, he put a leg between hers. He slowly trailed his hand down her thigh before gently, but firmly, grabbing it. He lifted it up and wrapped it around his waist. With one hand still on her leg, he used the other to support her back, dipping her again. But this time, it was dangerously low.

He kissed her exposed neck and nipped it before slowly bringing her back up. One last time, he twirled her and Kagome almost swung the other way. Twirling back slowly into his arms, Kagome closed her eyes as she closed the distance between them. The song came to an end, and at the last note, Inuyasha wrapped both arms around her figure, softly placing a kiss on her lips.

Her eyes snapped open in surprise. A part of her told her to fight back and pull away, but the other part told her to just go with it and stay where she was. Listening to the more tempting voice, she closed her eyes again and let him kiss her. The crowd began clapping for the band and the dancers. Inuyasha pulled apart, gazing at her with a look she's never seen before. He then took Kagome by the hand, and led them back to their table.

Once they sat down, Toga, Rin, and the others commented on their little tango. Kagome blushed as Inuyasha leaned in towards her.

"Alright…you got this round."

Kagome looked at him with confusion clear in her eyes. "What?"

Inuyasha smirked. "I hate to admit it, but for this round…you win."

xOxO

The girls were gossiping and laughing as the limo drove them back to the Takahashi estate. Their conversation was about the whole ordeal between Sango and Miroku. Sango had called Rin up the other day and told her how ridiculous that monk was.

Once again, he grabbed her ass. But this time, he also managed to touch her chest area. And then they were talking about how scary Sango was and how they hoped that that monk wasn't dead.

"Omg…can you believe he tried that again?" Rin asked.

"Ha. I believe that he did. I just can't believe he's still alive."

"If I were him, I'd fear for my life. Sango's not one to mess with." Rin agreed.

Inuyasha scoffed and both girls looked at him. "Miroku might be…dense, but he ain't stupid. Knowing him, he might've coaxed Sango afterwards with words."

Rin and Kagome both considered it for a moment.

Sesshoumaru watched their expressions and smirked. "Yes. Our monk is quite the smooth talker." He said in his usual monotone voice.

Inuyasha looked at him. "Hmm…who do you think is the smoother talker between the five of us?"

Sesshoumaru lifted his eyebrow. "I don't think Shippo counts. He's still much too young. And Bankotsu isn't always trying to get into a girl's pants. And I don't need words to do that."

Rin turned her gaze down as something burned inside of her at his words.

Inuyasha only frowned. "Well sorry Mr. Too-cool-for-words." He said sarcastically. "But I'll let that one slide since you're a total ice cube."

Sesshoumaru flicked Inuyasha's right ear.

"Oww…jerk. What was that for?" Inuyasha seethed, putting a hand up to his abused ear.

"Don't be stupid. You know exactly what that was for." Sesshoumaru replied coolly.

"Why you…!!"

Kagome and Rin just watched the interaction between the brothers. In one second, they're fighting like a couple of girls, and the next, they're at each other's throats. The two dogs were so into their little fight, they didn't even notice the car stop.

The back door suddenly opened as Toga's face appeared. He looked over to the two girls and then over to his sons.

"Hey, Mr. Takahashi." Rin greeted, not at all trying to help the brothers stop.

Toga returned the greeting and then sighed heavily. Reaching over, he separated his sons. "Boys…what have I told you about fighting? This isn't how you're supposed to be acting in front of the ladies."

His sons didn't respond and instead, only continued to glare at one another. Toga sighed again. 'Really…what am I doing wrong?'

Kagome finished taking her bath and changed into her pjs for bed. She opened the door to her bedroom and put away her towel. Picking up a brush, she ran it through her hair for a fast measure before setting it back down. Finally, ready to get to bed, she yawned as she walked over to the light switch, turning off the power in her room.

Through the darkness, she found her way to her bed and hopped in. Just as she settled in her sheets, an arm suddenly shot out and wrapped itself around her waist. Another went around her mouth. Kagome thrashed and tried to pry off the steel iron grip, but it was no use. The figure suddenly lifted itself and hovered above her, before trapping her body beneath its weight.

The figure chuckled menacingly as Kagome stilled her motions. Locking her gaze with the man, Kagome could see a mischievous glint in his eyes. He leaned down to her.

"I thought you said you'll be my naughty girl tonight…"
