Kagome's hands were sweating. Her breath got shorter and she felt the room spinning. Kagome mentally slapped herself. 'Kagome! Your not gonna punk out now are you! You have to do this.' Kagome shook her head once more and tried to focus on the conversation in front of her. She was sitting by Inuyasha in an office with a young woman that looked about her age. What was her name? Rin? Yeah, that was it. Apparently Inuyasha had scheduled an interview with her for US Weekly's magazine. Looks like today would be the day the cat would be out of the bag and the world would know that Inuyasha Takahashi was taken. 'I wonder how long that's gonna last.' Kagome laughed at her thoughts. She wondered if the famous Inuyasha knew how to keep up with a long lasting relationship, even if it was a fake one.
"So how long have you too been together?" Rin asked.
"Around two weeks. We meet after I finished shotting my last movie. She was one of those extras in my movie that did the bikini waxing scene. Inuyasha smirked.
Kagome's eyes bugged and she quickly stomped on Inuyasha's foot underneath the chair.
"Ow!" Inuyasha yelled. He whipped his glare towards Kagome and all Kagome could do was glare back at him for what he'd said and then put on an innocent face.
"Uh, mr. Takahashi are you ok." Rin looked out from her seat with a worried look.
"Inuyasha turned from Kagome. "Yeah, peachy. Just, uh, had something caught in my, uh, throat."
"Uh huh." Rin smiled a little. "Whatever." These two were like this for the past half hour. Rin couldn't resist their cute squabbles. She knew that deep down these two really liked each other. She just wondered when they would admit it. Speaking of cute I need to call Fluffy. Rin pouted a little at the thought that she hadn't seen Sesshomaru in a little over two days. Soon she was shaken out of her thoughts by the couple sitting in front of her who were still squabbling.
"So what do you think of Inuyasha so far?" Rin tried to change the subject of Inuyasha and bikini wax models in front of Kagome. She would just have to worry about Sesshomaru and herself later.
Well, he's the perfect boyfriend any girl could ask for." Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand. I'm just glad he got us together." Kagome tightened her grip around Inuyasha's hand. Inuyasha made a squeaking noise.
Rin quirked her eyebrow at the action and tried to resist doubling over and laughing. "Well thank you once again Inuyasha and Kagome for all those, um, lovely comments about each other. I'll have it up on the next issue of US Weekly. Rin got up and shook both of there hands. Well, she had to shake Inuyasha's left hand.
"See ya later Rin. Your more than welcome at the events we go to. Lord knows how much Inu's brother needs someone."
Rin blushed at Kagome's comment. "Thanks. Talk to you guys later." She'd known Inuyasha and Sesshomarua long time and she was starting to like this Kagome girl. Someone needed to whip Inuyasha into shape sooner or later. 'I tink she's just the girl for the job." Rin smiled.
Inuyasha held his hand softy. "You are such a bitch!" Inuyasha screamed once they were out of Rin's hearing range.
"Yah well, you weren't exactly Mr. Perfect in there either! Saying I was one of your bikini waxing models!" Kagome screamed back with equal power.
"Keh, I was just trying to make our story sound reasonably true."
"Whatever." Kagome sighed out as she started walking out of the building. "You're just so annoying sometimes."
"Well, I could say the same for you." Inuyasha replied as he caught up with Kagome. Inuyasha nudged her gently and smiled when he got a smile out of her.
"Knew I could make you smile again. I'm really good at that with girls ya know."
Kagome just glared at him earning a scared look from Inuyasha.
"Not that I'm with a lot of girls!" Inuyasha stuttered out trying. Kagome rolled her eyes and let out a laugh. "You're just hopeless."
Inuyasha smirked. "Yep, that I am." A comfortable silence settled between them and Inuyasha started to get used to the idea of spending more time with this girl. I mean heck, he'd gone through the employee dinner with her. It was practically a date. It was practically obvious that he wanted her. 'Keh..whatever.' Inuyasha scolded his wandering mind.
Kagome broke the silence. "So what to do next?."
"Lunch?"
"Man you read my mind." Kagome laughed and Inuyasha smiled.
"Lunch it is."
"Thanks for lunch Inuyasha. I um enjoyed it." Kagome said as they neared the doorway of the Shikon Plaza.
"Keh it was nothing." Inuyasha said blushing.
Kagome smiled as Inuyasha opened the door. "Thanks." Kagome murmured as they walked in the hotel. Inuyasha strolled behind Kagome as they walked through the main lobby of the hotel. 'She's so gorgeous. I don't deserve being around such an angel' Kagome glanced back at Inuyasha.
"You ok?"
"What? Oh.uh..yah." Inuyasha stuttered out. Kagome slowed down to walk next to Inuyasha and casually slipped her hand in Inuyasha's. Inuyasha was surprised for a moment, but eventually he relaxed at griped her hand tighter. Kagome smiled at the gesture and enjoyed the warm feeling she got being with Inuyasha and touching him.' This is just too perfect.' Kagome thought with a sigh of content.
"Kagome! Inuyasha!"
'Ok, moment ruined.'
Inuyasha and Kagome jerked away from each other quickly when they saw Miroku and Sango heading their way.
"You guys ok, ya look kind of flushed." Sango asked with concern.
"I bet I know why they're all red and embarrassed." Miroku said with an I-Know-Everything-That's-Going-On-With-You-Too smirk.
"Shut up Miroku!" Inuyasha barked out.
Miroku chuckled. "Whatever."
Inuyasha continued to glare at Miroku.
"So Sango, whats up?" Kagome said, trying to break the tension.
"Oh! Well, Miroku and I were wondering if you wanted to come clubbing with us. It's the grand opening of this new high tech club."
"Awesome! Sounds like fun. We'll be there."
"But..." Inuyasha whined.
Kagome shot him a death glare. Inuyasha gulped. "What Kagome said."
Kagome grinned and patted Inuyasha on the head. "Good boy. Inuyasha just glared back. 'She's so evil, but that just makes her Kagome I guess.'
Naraku waited anxiously for her to pick up her cell phone.
"What." Kikyo's cold voice could be heard on the other line.
"It's me. Is everything going as planned?" Naraku asked with an evil glint in his eyes.
Kikyo smirked from the other end of the phone. "Of course. Everything is set up. Now we just wait."
Naraku grinned. "Excellent." And then he flipped his cell shut.
Kikyo hung up as the car door opened. "Welcome Miss to Club Miko." Kikyo gave no emotion except for a cold determined stare as she headed in the club. 'Yes, this will be a night that will never be forgotten.'
The night air was cold and harsh, but it didn't stop the group from getting out of their limo and into the hottest club in New York.
Cameras flashed as the group was finally seen.
"Over here Inuyasha! Kagome!" screamed many reporters.
Inuyasha grinned and spoke low to Kagome who was clinging for dear life on his arm. "Just play it cool. Smile. Act like you deserve everyone's respect."
Kagome nodded and took in what Inuyasha had said. Somehow she got through it and Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and herself were in the club ready to have some fun. They were all at the bar now ordering some drinks.
"Please Lady Sango just one dance. I promise never to touch your precious attributes ever again."
Sango laughed. "Let's see how long that'll last."
Miroku bowed down on one knee and looked into Sango's eyes saying dramatically. "Would I ever lie to you my lady Sango?"
Sango's eyebrows twitched as she thought of all the possible things she could do to Miroku if he tried anything.
Miroku pulled a puppy dog face which Sango couldn't resist. "Alright fine! But only one!"
Miroku jumped up and down like a girl. "Yay!"
Sango rolled her eyes. "We'll be right back Kagome." Miroku slide his hand around Sango's waist as they walked to the dance floor.
BONK. "Ok ok! Arms distance I get the picture!"
Kagomebit back a laugh. They were so cute. Deep inside herself, Kagome longed for that connection with someone else. Maybe she was finding it with a particular guy with dog ears.
Kagome felt someone brush up against her back and whisper in her ear. "Ready to dance?" Kagome shivered at the thought of him being so close. She nodded slowly and turned around to meet his eyes. They were sparkling with something she hadn't seen before. It looked like he was actually enjoying being here. Big surprise.
"Inuyasha do I detect some giddiness in your voice." Kagome said almost with a laugh.
"Well being around you always makes me happy." Kagome blushed at his words. Inuyasha smirked at her and led her to the dance floor. The music soon overcame the both of them. They both laughed and continued to dance to the beat. Soon a slow song came on and most of the crowd thinned. Kagome was about to leave, but she felt an arm hold her in place.
Hold on to my love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
"What ya getting tired of me already?"
Kagome laughed. "I don't think anyone could get tired of you Inuyasha." Kagome teased. Inuyasha stuck out his tongue at her which only caused her to giggle more. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome and watched her as she laughed. 'Man did she have a beautiful laugh. Not as beautiful as she is though.' Inuyasha found himself swaying himself and Kagome to the music. He leaned in closer to Kagome. Something was just pulling him towards her. He heard Kagome's voice.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
"Inuyasha..." Kagome didn't know what was going on. All of a sudden Inuyasha's eyes were glazed over and now it looked like he was about to…to..kiss her! Kagome's breathing picked up and she could feel Inuyasha's hot breath on her face. Their lips were inches apart.
All of a sudden something snapped. 'What the..' Inuyasha broke their almost kiss and gazed at the ceiling to the huge lighting rails made of hard metal holding up the lights for the club. It looked like it was about to give way. Inuyasha squinted. He saw someone up there. "K-Kikyo?"
Kagome stared at Inuyasha. "What's the matter Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha heard more snapping and then a loud creak as he saw the lighting rail come swinging down to the dance floor.
"Kagome move!" Inuyasha yelled as he pushed Kagome out of the way.
Everything seemed slow motion for Kagome as she was pushed out of the way. All her mind could register before everything went black was Inuyasha screaming her name as something big fell with a loud crash. And then…everything was black.
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me as you fade to black
