A.N. I love you all! I don't get a lot of reviews, but the ones I do get are awesome. I unfortunately don't own InuYasha and co. but I do own Sasha, Jose, Sasha's necklace(literally,) Jonathan, and Mason. Hope you enjoy.

Chap 8: Drunken…and sober Kisses

last time

Sasha was outright laughing now. She even had tears streaming down her face.

"Oh Yash," she said kissing him lightly, "as long as she doesn't try to steal you away from me before I am ready to give you up there will be no problems."

"Great," he said smiling. "She's coming too!"

now

"SHE'S WHAT!" Sasha screamed at her boyfriend.

"I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM," he bellowed back surprised.

"I DIDN'T AS LONG AS SHE ISNT NEAR YOU!"

"WELL GET OVER IT THEN, SHE'S GOING TO BE THERE!" InuYasha and his girlfriend continued to yell at each other the entire way to the club he owned. Unfortunately he knew there was going to be trouble because the second they walked in he could smell a familiar and unwanted scent.

Sasha's ex boyfriend walked over to the two looking smug as a bug (cheese love that saying).

"Hey Sasha," he said smoothly, careful to wedge his way in between her and InuYasha.

"Hi Jonathan," she said with a flirtatious grin, "what's up?"

"Nothing much," he said smiling as the two, and a fuming InuYasha walked up to the bar.

As angry as he was though, he quickly softened when he picked up a familiar scent. There he saw Sango and Miroku sitting at the bar holding beers, sitting next to his friend Jose who was hugging a girl who, from behind, looked like Kagome.

"Sash," he said gently.

"What"

"My friends are at the bar," he said pointing to Jose's left.

"I see them, wait, that's the girl that was causing a stir last week with her friend."
"What?" InuYasha asked.

"Remember those girls that were dancing last week?"
"Yeah, they got a lot of attention."
"Well, she's there kissing your best friend right now."

InuYasha turned around to see what was going on, but what he saw was sickening. Kagome was standing in front of Jose, kissing him like they knew each other for years.

"Well," he said "lets go meet the others."

"Others? Oh yeah, your friends."

He led Sasha up to the small group and put a hand on Miroku's shoulder motioning his girlfriend and her asshole of a ex to stay quiet.

"I'm sorry sir, but we don't allow monk's or slayers in our club."

"What the…" the other man started turning around with Sango, but when he saw the person behind him he laughed.

"Well, InuYasha, what a surprise."

Before he could say anything Sango had rushed into his arms giving him a tight hug. Laughing Miroku pulled his wife away from their friend and shook his hand.

"It's been too long," Miroku said.

"Longer for me than you though," InuYasha replied.

"Yeah, I bet."

"Oh damn, sorry," InuYasha stuttered, "I want you guys to meet Sasha. My girlfriend."

Kagome still hadn't looked up, and he hoped she would at that, but her and Jose were still immersed in each other.
"Sasha, this is Sango and Miroku. They were like my family back in Japan." he said smiling at the other two.

"Nice to meet you," Sasha said smiling also. Still trying to edge away.

Sango, deciding that Kagome should see InuYasha tapped her friend on the shoulder.

"Kagome," she said, "if you would come up for air there is someone here you should see."

She winked at InuYasha, as her friend looked up blushing.

"What?" she said with a faint smile on her face.

"Sasha," InuYasha said not looking at either woman. "This is my ex… Kagome."

InuYasha's POV

"YOUR WHAT!" she screamed and walked away, taking Jonathan with her.

"Um…" with that Kagome fainted, falling right into my arms.

"Damn" I said looking at the woman I was holding. Picking her up I placed her on a stool and asked the bartender for a glass of ice water.

"I'll be right back. I'm gonna get a clean rag from the store room to wake her up." The others nodded and I walked into the back of the club to get what I needed.

Ten minutes later

I emerged from the store room to bump into a couple who were dancing and kissing. I didn't take any notice that Jonathan was one, but the neon orange necklace caught my attention.

"SASHA!" I roared staring at my girlfriend, 'GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CLUB!"

The girl jumped at the sound of my voice but I didn't care if I scared her.

"Please InuYasha, can we talk about this?" she begged.

"No," I said coldly walking to the bar, "now leave before I have you removed and banned."

"Does this mean we are through then?"

"Yeah, it does."

"Fine. See you around."

"No, that wont happen. Don't come back here. Ever, I wont tell security to ban you, but I will be forced to if you show up again."

She nodded and left. I felt like shit, but I still had to fix Kagome.

Normal POV

"InuYasha what took you so long?" Miroku asked.
"I had to kick my ex girlfriend out of the club. Sorry, I also couldn't find the rags. Gonna kill the stocker," he said everything in a rush. But it came out decipherable none the less.

"Um… okay. Well Kagome got up about five minutes ago and is in the bathroom with Sango." Miroku explained.

InuYasha nodded knowing that the woman would emerge again soon, and he was almost scared to see her. It's been so long, over 500 years, it shouldn't be a problem to face her. Yeah minus the fact that when we just saw her just now, SHE PASSED OUT.

When Kagome emerged from the bathroom, she was feeling better. A little at least. She still needed to find her friend Ally, and she wasn't sure whether the girl had shown up. The second she took out her cell phone though, a clawed hand covered the screen making her look up.

With Ally

Ally was still searching the crowed when she saw the guy Kagome was dancing with last week. Maybe he knows where she is. She thought to herself as she made her way towards him.

Walking up to the man Ally noticed that he was staring in the direction of the bathrooms with a look of pure malice on his face. Looking in the same direction, Ally saw Kagome and The owner of the club?

InuYasha and Kagome

"Kagome," he started slowly, "we need to talk."

"About what?" she asked just as slowly, mainly because she was still freaked about seeing him there.

"I'll see you guys later." Sango piped up before going to find her husband.

"Bye Sango."

As Kagome looked up at InuYasha, she couldn't say anything as he captured her mouth in a heart wrenching kiss. As she pulled away reluctantly she couldn't help but think she did something wrong.

"InuYasha, we shouldn't," she started before he pulled her to him again, not to kiss her as he had done before, but he just held her close to him in a tight embrace.

Though she didn't have time to respond, the way that Kagome had responded surprised InuYasha. As she put her hands on his shoulders, he thought she was going to pull him closer to her, but instead, she pushed him away with all her might.

"I told you, we don't need to do that," but this time Kagome was angry.

"What?" InuYasha asked bewildered, "we haven't seen each other in 500 years and you are just going to push me away?"

"No InuYasha" she said eyes blazing. "I haven't seen you in five years. You haven't seen me in 500, but in that five since I got back for good you could have taken the time out of your 'busy' schedule to go back to Japan and see me. AND YOU DIDN'T!"

As she yelled those last words, InuYasha realized that he had, yet again, hurt Kagome.

"I'm sorry," he said, letting his head hang low. "I never meant to hurt you. Ever, but I was scared. Scared that you wouldn't want me. Scared that when I actually did go back, you would be with that Hobo guy."

"For one, I waited for you. You never showed. I cried myself to sleep for years. When I learned that you overcame your brother and defeated him I knew you would live to my time, and that I would see you again. I hoped that you would show up to see if Sango and Miroku would've gotten married. You didn't, nothing, not even a card or a telephone call. And two. His name is HOJO. The reason I couldn't keep a relationship with him was because whenever he would hold me, or kiss me. I would think about you, and how even though he cared for me. I didn't. couldn't, feel the same for him."

With that, Kagome spun on her heel and left towards the bar.

Jose was fuming when he got to the bar.

"Mason," he said sitting on a stool next to Miroku.

"Yeah."

"Give me something good."

"Comin' up!" Mason chuckled as he put a shot glass on the counter and poured.

Jose wasn't paying much attention to what the man poured, but as he shot the amber liquid he realized he should have.

"DUDE! DON'T MIX THE GOOD STUFF LIKE THAT!" he sputtered setting the glass on the counter.

"Sorry, you looked down so I mixed them up."

"What was it anyway?"

"Um… Quervo and Bean."

"Oh, well give me another. Opens my sinuses."

Three rounds later, Jose decided that he needed to go find Kagome. She was no longer with InuYasha, for that he was glad, but the girl she was with last week. They were talking, and he slowly crept up on her.

Sliding his hands around her waist, loving the way it made her jump he whispered to her almost to where she couldn't hear him.
"I've been looking for you, amor."

"You what? Who?" she stuttered turning around to look at the man behind her.

Five minute before

"Ally what do I do?" Kagome whined to her friend as they sat in one of the couches.

"I don't know what to tell you," her friend said. "You two were together such a long time ago, I'm not surprised that he would act that way."

"But up until ten minutes ago, he had a girlfriend."

"Oh, um… that changes things."

"I hate to say it, but Ally, I still love him. I always did, and I always will."

"Even though he cheated on you?"

Kagome sighed. "Yeah…" How can I have feelings for a man who it seemed, had moved on with his life. I wasn't in it, and yet; now, he wants to act like nothing ever changed between us.

Present

Kagome spun around to look at Jose, and smelling his breath she could tell he had been drinking hardcore.

"Jose," she said. "What the hell…" she was cut off shortly as he kissed her roughly.

But as she struggled against him, he just seemed to pull her closer. Pushing at him got her nowhere, and as he roughly pushed his tongue into her mouth she did the only thing she could do… she bit him.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" he screamed drunkenly.

"You wouldn't let me go." she said simply walking away, "Oh yeah, and whatever bit of a thing we had was done. No one touches me like that."

"You let InuYasha do it," he spat out. And he knew he hit a nerve. Spinning around Kagome had him by the throat.

"You know our past, or at least you should, being the only one besides 3 people here who know his real age and how we met, do you not?" the man nodded. "Then you should know why he did it."

"KAGOME LET HIM GO!" yelled InuYasha's voice as he had literally tried to move the woman to keep her from killing the other man.

"Why should I?" she asked. Although she had a really tough grip on him, he had finally gotten her to let go.

"Because, he's not functioning properly. He doesn't know what's going on. C'mon," he said finally. "I need to talk to you."

"What about Sango and Miroku?"

"I can take them home!" Ally chimed in, earning a glare from Kagome.

"Thanks." InuYasha told her as he steered Kagome out of the bar.

"Can you tell them that I took Kagome to my place for a bit. We need to catch up."

"Sure," Ally said waving at them.

InuYasha walked Kagome out of the club and strait to his car.

"Ya know," she said. "I always figured if you made it to this era you would buy a Harley or something, after the way my friends had dubbed you 'biker dude'."

"Funny you should say that," he smirked. "I remembered you telling me that, and when they made them, I bought the VERY first Harley Davidson Fatboy."

"You did?"

"Yeah," he was laughing now. He could still remember her telling him that her friends thought he was a biker dude with a bad attitude, so he decided to buy a bike when he got to America and they were built.

"Do you just have that one?" she asked intrigued. "I've wanted to buy a motorcycle, but I don't know how to drive it, or the money to get one. So I didn't."

She laughed at herself, but still felt that it was weird that he would remember that small fact after 500 years.

"So…" she pondered out loud. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

"I hate surprises," she grunted as she sank into the seat of InuYasha's car.

A.N. This chapter is all done! YAY! Took me forever to write. I will update A New Start soon too. That one just seems to be taking me longer to write. Thank you for the reviews. Although I will not write again for sometime. It seems that maybe my stories aren't that great, and I really want some feed back or suggestions before I go ahead and finish up.
