Chapter 11
The party was still going in full swing at midnight. Practically everyone was drunk.
Everyone but me.
I just wasn't in the mood to get wasted, make a fool of myself, pass out, and then wakeup beside some half dressed girl who's name seemed to have slip my mind. So I just wandered around the house, making small talk when needed.
"InuYasha!"
Someone squealed my name and as soon as I turned around they leapt into my arms.
"How are you, sexy?"
She pulled back and then I recognized her. The girl who was kind enough to take my virginity years ago. Yura. Better known now as the school's biggest slut. She moved her last year and sure knew how to make friends…by sleeping with half the male population.
"Hey Yura. How are you?"
"I need something to do."
She snaked her hand into mine and began pulling me to the stairs.
"Where are we going?"
I knew where we were going.
"I wanna show you something."
She giggled in her little drunken voice. We climbed up the stairs and stopped in front of a door.
"What is it?"
I knew what it was.
"It's the only empty bedroom left."
She said, pressing herself against me and running her nails along my chest.
"Cool. Okay, see you later."
I began to turn around but she clutched my arm and made me face her again.
"InuYasha, you know what I want. I know you want it to, so lets go and satisfy ourselves."
I smiled nicely at her.
"Maybe another time."
And then I passed her and continued down the hall.
"F-fine!"
She cried, then grabbed a random guy passing by and pulled him into the room with her, slamming the door shut behind her. I shook my head and walked down the hall.
THUMP.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a loud thumping sound behind one of the doors. Turning to my left I moved in closer to the door to hear what was going on.
"I said don't touch me!"
A muffled voice yelled from inside the room. It was a girl.
"Just a kiss, come on…"
A deep guy's voice said and then there was a short period of silence. Then the girl let out a muffled and indecisive cry. I couldn't just listen. I opened the door and stepped into the room, gaping at what I saw.
There was Taiki, a big athlete guy, completely wasted and pinning down a girl on the bed. The girl was Kagome. They both looked up at my entrance and Kagome's eyes sparkled with hope and some tears when she saw me.
"Hey! Get the hell out of here! Ever heard of privacy?"
I began to walk towards them, my eyebrow cocking up.
"Ever heard of rape?"
"I said get out."
Taiki stood up to his full 6 foot 2 length, which would intimidate some people. In case you have forgotten, I've practically mastered the art of self-defense so, no biggie.
"I think we should ask this lovely little lady what she would like. Kagome?"
I looked over at the scared girl who was watching us nervously.
"Y-yeah?"
"Would you like to stay alone in this room with Taiki here, or do you want me to escort you out?"
She glanced at Taiki, then at me.
"I want to go home."
"Thank you Kagome. You hear that Taiki? She no like you."
Then he swung his big fist at me. I, of course, dodged it. Once I missed his attack I punched him hard in the gut, making him double over. Grabbing him in a headlock, I tucked my knee under his leg joint and flipped him over, making him land hard on his back.
"I'll be taking care of Kagome now, Taiki. Don't even worry."
I signaled for the girl to come over and she hurried away from the groaning guy on the floor. I opened the door for her and she bounded out, not looking back or waiting for me. I followed.
When we were outside the front door she let out a small sob. And I froze. Kagome was crying?
"Kagome…?
Her sobs came to a halt and she whipped around.
"W-what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see if you…are you alright?"
She frantically wiped her tears away and nodded her head.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine."
"Well I am!"
She shouted, meeting my eyes for the first time in this conversation. I didn't say anything. I just prayed she could see the concern written across my face. I think she did.
"Look InuYasha, I'm sorry. You saved me and I shouted at you…that wasn't fair."
"Hey, it's okay. You must be kind of scared."
She let out a small, dry laugh.
"Yeah…kind of."
Ask her now. Ask her before she leaves.
"Well I should-"
"Can I give you a ride home?"
She's going to say no. She's going to say no.
"Sure. That'd be nice."
Oh.
