My Favourite Mistake

Chapter 8.

She woke up hours later, and he was still asleep, looking peaceful, for once, instead of depressed. She untangled herself from his grasp and slid out of bed quietly. Looking back once, she smiled, and closed the door behind her. She snuck across the hall and slid the door to Rin's room open. She was in bed as well, still asleep, snoring quietly, a bag of her dance things by the bed, with the small silver cell phone sticking out of the pocket. So she was dancing all night yesterday, eh?

Smiling again, she closed that door as well. She walked towards the living room, and glanced outside. The rain seems to have stopped a while ago, and now everything just looked pretty and clean. She pushed open the balcony doors and plopped down on the ground, watching the people wandering around outside through the metal poles that were the only thing preventing her from falling to the ground. She sighed quietly.

Naraku probably called again, judging from the blinking red light she pointedly ignored when she walked by the phone. It was no use telling him to screw off; he was Boss-Man after all. And she couldn't pull of the 'vacation' act very long. She'd have to do a job tonight to get him to bug off for a couple more days.

She sighed again, and almost jumped out of her skin when someone hesitantly wrapped their arms around her from behind. She turned her head slightly to see behind her, and found Inuyasha's expectant face. He was waiting for her to either accept or reject. She smiled and leaned back against him, placing her hands over his own.

"Good morning." She told him quietly.

"Good morning." He told her, his head on her shoulder.

"What do you plan on doing today?" she asked him. He shrugged. She smiled. "That's nice." She told him, watching the people on the ground. He nodded. She sighed again, and he pulled her closer, burrowing his face deeper in her hair. She let him, not resisting, only drawing little designs on his hands with her fingers. It was a nice morning, after all.

They were drinking tea when Rin first made her appearance, looking rumpled and sleepy.

"Oh." she said when her eyes landed on Inuyasha. "Um..." Her eyes strayed to Kagome, who smiled lazily from behind her cup of tea.

"Good morning, Rin. This is Inuyasha; he's going to be living with us for a while." She told the other girl.

Rin blinked once, twice. "Oh, I see." Before moving towards the table as well for a cup of tea.

Kagome smiled again, adding something else to her introduction. "Inuyasha's also a hanyou." She saw Inuyasha stiffen at the comment and watched Rin carefully.

Rin looked back at Inuyasha with curiosity. "Really? That's nice." She looked thoughtful for a moment. "I never met one of those before." She took a tea cup waiting for her and filled it with hot water, dropping a tea packet in. "What's that like?"

Inuyasha stared at her with wide eyes, mouth slightly slack. Kagome stared for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.

It was definitely going to be an interesting few days.

It was ten at night when Rin left the apartment wearing a miniskirt and halter-top. Stilettos on her feet and silver hoops in her ears, she was ready for work.

"Kagome, I'm waiting for you in the car!!" Rin yelled.

"Okay!" she yelled back, flipping through the clothes for something to wear. They were going to be late..!! In frustration, she pulled on a black miniskirt and a red tube top. Glancing around, she finally located the fishnet stockings that were missing until now, and pulled them on as well. Then, she pulled on the high heeled boots, pushed silver hoops through her ears, and an exaggerated silver cross necklace around her neck, looking in the mirror she smirked back at her reflection. Every part the party girl.

She walked out of the room and past the living room where Inuyasha was watching TV.

She was just about to leave when Inuyasha's hesitant voice reached her ears. "Kagome?"

She turned back, saw him watching her. "Yes, Inuyasha?"

"Where are you going?" he asked, seemingly much more worried then he should be. She smiled and walked back towards the couch.

"Just to work with Rin. We have some people we have to meet." She told him briefly.

"But the clothes..?" he asked hesitantly again, brows tilted in a worry line. One of his hands reached forward and grabbed her fingers.

"We're going to a club." She told him. "Everyone wears this there." She said. And maybe that wasn't exactly the truth, not to the extent of sluttiness she was dressed to, but basically, something like that. "Don't worry." He didn't look relieved though, or any less worried.

"Maybe I should go with-." He started but she cut him off.

"No." she told him sharply. His eyes blinked, and a flash of hurt shot through them. She sighed. Straddling his legs with her own, she wrapped her arms around him tightly and whispered. "You trust me, don't you?" she asked, waited for him to nod. He did, and then placed a light kiss onto her bare shoulder. Her tube top slid up slightly, and she felt his hands on her back. "Then don't worry." She told him, kissing his neck lightly. "Okay?" she asked him, moving slightly back so she could see his face. He nodded, watching her carefully. "Good." She smiled, clapping her hands together.

Climbing off his lap, she turned back to him one last time, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. "Plus" she said "If anything goes wrong, I have my secret weapon." Slowly, she lifted the side of her short skirt until he could see it.

There, held by the string of her tiny red thong, was a gun.

She winked at him before flouncing out the door to her next mission.

The look on his face was enough to make her giggle all the way to the club.

The club was loud and sweaty, just as they expected. There were stages placed all around for people brave enough to dance on them, though usually just used for the hired dancers. Tonight though, not many people were on them and the one in the middle of the room was empty.

Perfect, Kagome thought, nudging Rin and pointing towards it, who nodded and headed for it, all the while her eyes scanning the faces for the right one.

They spotted him at the same time, hanging by the bar with the perfect view of the stage.

Kagome stumbled slightly, and grabbed onto Rin's arm, smiling drunkenly at the people who looked her way. "You have the spray right?" she asked the other girl and watched her nod. She let go of her arm and nodded to herself. Everything was going according to plan.

Climbing onto the stage and dragging Rin up after her, she glanced back towards the bar, noticing their target watching them already.

A fast, upbeat song started and she and Rin started dancing, pulling out all the stripper moves they ever saw in bad movies and cheesy nightclubs. Soon, she felt her skin break out in a light sweat, glistening under the flashing lights. Time to kick it up a notch.

Moving closer to Rin, they started dancing as one, moving together and against each other, smiling at one another as they noticed a crowd began forming around their platform, guys hooting and cheering them on under the beat of music. Phone numbers flew around them as they danced.

Kagome threw her head back and Rin ran her hands down her body as the song finished and they laughed as the last few beats of music faded. The guys gave a roar of appreciation, and Kagome bowed her head slightly, blinked and motioned with her eyes towards the bar. Rin gave a barely noticeable nod. Kagome slid of the platform and smiled at the guys who were still cheering as she walked by. She glanced down at her chest, the tube top slipping slightly, and saw the small tube of spray that Rin had slipped in there during the dance. Perfect, now she just had to get him away from the crowd, somewhere in some back room, and they were golden.

She sat at the bar, and ordered a drink she had no intension of drinking. He was watching her, and when the bartender told her how much it cost, he offered to pay for it.

Already, she could see the lust swirling in her eyes, and she laughed and thanked him graciously, mentioning how handsome he was. He grinned perversely, and she had to squish her reflex to gag like she wanted to. As if. While the bartender was at the other end of the bar, she casually mentioned that maybe they should go somewhere else.

He jumped at the chance. She laughed, leading him towards the back, but he kept insisting they take his car to a hotel room. That wasn't part of the plan, however, and as a last resort she blurted out.

"No, I want you too much, there's no time!" And pulled open the nearest door. It was a storage room, but it was big enough to fit them both, and he seemed pleased by her eagerness. The only bad this is, this closed space was so small, she was afraid the spray might affect her as well. Shrugging the thought off, she pushed him against the wall, so when he fell, it wasn't near the door. Just when he was leaning in to kiss her, she pulled out the tube and sprayed it in his mouth, holding her own breath. His eyes shot open as he gagged and clawed at his throat, pushing random objects of the shelves and to the floor. He tried to push past her and out the door but she shoved him back against the wall. A few seconds later, he slid down, motionless.

She saw the stone right away, hanging on his necklace like jewelry, looking just like the last one she stole at the geisha festival. Grabbing a napkin that he threw to the floor in his attempt to flee the room; she wrapped it around the stone and yanked on the chain. It gave way easily, and she tucked it into the band of her skirt. Looking back at the body on the floor she shook her head and slipped out of the room.

Rin was still dancing on the podium when she walked out, but she noticed her right away. She flipped her hair off her shoulder, a signal they agreed on earlier, and walked out of the club towards their car. A man was standing by it, tapping his foot impatiently when she approached.

"Yo." She called. He spun around. "Here." She said, pulling the napkin from her waistband. He took it, opening it and reaching for the stone. "DON'T!" she yelled, and he looked at her, startled. "You're not allowed to touch it, it's tainted! Don't you see the colour?" he shrugged, but wrapped it in the napkin again, tucking it into his pocket. Then he pulled out a white envelope, handing it to her. "Thanks." She said shortly, then as an afterthought, she added "Tell Naraku not to bug me for a while." He nodded once, and walked away, disappearing into another car and driving off. She slipped behind the wheel of her own car, and waited a minute before Rin appeared at the other door, climbing in.

She smiled lightly, sticking the key into the ignition, and speeding out of the parking lot. "Alright then, let's go home!"

Rin went up first, while Kagome parked the car and went through the front to pick up the mail. She yawned slightly in the elevator, leaning against it. It should've been about one in the morning now. She twirled the blank white envelope between her fingers; while the rest of the mail was in her other hand.

Naraku may be an asshole, but he paid nicely.

She pushed the door open quietly, expecting everyone to be sleep, but Inuyasha was still up, sitting on the couch and looking worried. She smiled. "Hey." Waving the envelope at him. "I'm back."

She locked the door and dropped the mail on the table by the door, as well as the special envelope. Kicking off her shoes, she walked over. "What's up?" she asked, smiling tiredly. He shook his head mutely. "Mmkay... I'm gonna go take a shower." She told him, walking back towards the bathroom.

She closed the door and sighed tiredly, slipping her tube top off, then the skirt. The fish nets came off too, and then the thong. She put the gun away in one of the drawers under the mirror. Slipping into the shower, she let the hot water wash away the memories, the makeup, and the feeling of the dead mans hands all over her.

A few minutes later she got out of the shower, and dried her hair, pulled on a pair of lacy panties and wrapped a towel around herself.

Sleepily, she stumbled back into her room, holding the towel up with one hand. "Oh." She mumbled when she saw Inuyasha sitting on her bed. "Hi."

He nodded, watching her. She shrugged and went towards her closet, pulled out a large t-shirt to sleep in, and pulled it over her head. The towel dropped to the ground at her feet.

She turned back towards her bed, but Inuyasha was already behind her. She blinked as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her towards him. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck as well, laying her head against his chest. "I'm tired Inuyasha." She told him quietly.

He nodded, hooking one hand under her feet and the other behind her back and carrying her to the bed. Pushing the blanket out of the way, he put her down, and climbed in after her. She pulled the blanket over both of them and he clicked off the light on the nightstand. She was already sleeping when he pulled her to him, placing a light kiss on her lips.

Holding her tightly, he watched the moon shine through the window, reflected of her inky hair, mixing with his own silver tresses. How did he end up falling in love with this girl who he knew almost nothing about?

He didn't know. Nor did he care, because she was perfect all the way down to her little red thong. He smiled slightly, looking down at the girl in his arms who was sleeping soundly, not rejecting him for being a hanyou.

Placing another kiss on her lips, he fell asleep as well, now that she was back in his arms.

Ta-da!! New chapter up. I was thinking of updating the other stories, but I'm going to focus on this one for now. R&R!!
