Chapter 7: Motivation (No song pun intended)
Inuyasha's POV
After a couple of hours of watching Miroku get progressively more and more drunk and be amazingly unsuccessful at scoring any numbers, we headed home. It was pretty quiet on the way. He was too busy trying to sober up, while images of my date spun around my head. I didn't know much about who she was, or what kind of person she might be, but her body, especially in that dress...
"I don't know whether to be scared or amazed." Miroku cut my thoughts off
I was confused and annoyed. "What the hell are you talking about now, Idiot Boy?"
"You're actually thinking, and from the looks of your face, of your date."
"I am not."
"Thinking about your date or thinking at all, cuz I've gotta tell you, I don't think I'm too comfortable being driven by an airhead." He slurred, placing a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged him off.
" Just shut up Miroku."
"Ah, then the thoughts are of your date."
I looked at him evilly out of the corner of my eye hoping that maybe he'd take a hint. He looked and me and let out a giggle. I guess a drunk Miroku equals a dumb one. I sighed.
"Shut up Miroku."
"Really now you can't be mad at me over your own nasty thoughts. I'm thinking you should have done her right there on the dance floor, her dress was probably short enough. Oooh! I know what you wanted, you wanted to bring her back her to the car and get it...DOGGY STYLE! Oooh, so nasty" He exclaimed, while dancing making raunchy thrusting movements that made me choke on my own spit.
I practically swerved into the next lane, causing some profane language and hand gestures from the other drivers on the road.
"What the hell would make you say some foolishness like that? And while I'm driving! Do you want to die tonight?" I yelled, nearly lunging over into his seat to kill him. He looked at me and laughed out a hearty laugh.
"Dunno if you're freakin' out because I'm right, or because you're mad you didn't do it."
I growled and jumped at him. He held up his hands again.
"Okay, okay, so maybe your mind wasn't there," He smiled. "But you are thinking about her."
I wanted to protest, keep up the façade that she had no effect on me during our short meeting. It was apparent that idea had failed already. I sighed as I pulled into the driveway of our apartment building. I shut off the car and looked over at him.
"How obvious exactly?" I asked, feeling defeated.
"Very."
I sighed and rubbed my eyes. I felt weird about this whole night from the very beginning, now here I was, dazed and confused, all over some chick whose name I didn't even know. I was beginning to think that fake chested waitress slipped something in to my drink. I supposed while my dignity had already taken a blow, I might as well ask.
"Do you know her name?" I looked down the up at Miroku who just looked at me with this weird expression.
He shook his head, as he opened the car door. "I'll try to find out from Sango though."
I nodded in acceptance of his plan. I didn't know what the hell this feeling was. I knew this woman for only fifteen minutesand she was screwing with my head. Part of me even felt guilty for not knowing, which was really the icing on the cake. What the fuck is this? I began walking to the entrance.
Miroku was right behind me he grabbed my shoulder with this oddly giddy look on his face
"I've gotta plan!"
I moved back and shoved his drunken ass off of me. Maybe his drinks were spiked too.
"What are you jabbering about now?" I asked tiredly as we walked into the apartment.
"The two of them share an apartment over on the eastside. How about we 'surprise' them tomorrow?"
He knew where she lived? How long had he known Sango anyway? Wait, Sango, why did that name sound so familiar? Miroku trampled on my chain of thought.
"So what do you say?"
"I guess."
"Come on Inuyasha It'll be great, you and her all alone in her room…" Miroku trailed off
I Pushed him away with disgust but at the same time trying not to laugh. "You are the weirdest most perverted dumbass I've ever known!"
"But that's all the reason to love me." He elbowed me
" I wouldn't go that far and if touch me again tonight and I'm going to dislocate that shoulder. You didn't get laid and you're drunk, I'll be damned if you try to make me your consolation prize" I threatened.
"Note taken." He laughed as he made his way into his room.
Kagome's Pov
As soon as I walked through the door I flopped onto the sofa face first.
"God, my feet are killing me!" Sango groaned and sat right on top of me. My face sank further into the cushions.
"Get your big butt off of me!"
"I'd rather not if it's all the same to you, you make quite the cushion."
"We'll see about that" I jumped up and Sango fell over onto the floor laughing
The loud ring of her cell, cut into our laughter, she crawled over to her phone which sat discarded on the floor and answered it
"Miroku?" I asked.
"Yep," She mouthed at me. She then held up her finger signaling for me to wait a minute, before she walked into her room leaving me alone on the couch. I let out a long breath and closed my eyes.
He really did look the same. I felt the corners of my mouth curl into a half smile, our fourth date and he didn't know me. Part of me wished that he had recognized me, then maybe that would signify that I meant something to him. Optimistic thinking can really bring you down sometimes.
3 years ago…
Stars filled the night sky and a breeze ruffles Kagome's skirt as they made their way up the stairs to her home.
"I had fun." Kagome smiled, still holding onto his arm. It was their third real date, not counting the ohter times they'd spent hanging out. Tonight it was dinner and a movie, Kagome was beyond elated. He had been a perfect gentleman, opening doors, refusing to let her spend any of his money.
"Me too." Inuyasha smiles at her gently takes Kagome chin, lifting it to give her a kiss on the lips. She kissed him back, pushing her body against his, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You want to come in?" She asked, her heart beating wildly. She knew what might happen if he said yes, and how much it could hurt if he refused.
"Aren't your parents…?"
She shook her head.
"Out of town."
She smiles he does the same she leads him into her home and slides her shoes off.
"Nice place." He complimented as he took his shoes off and stepped into her home. It was bigger than it looked from the outside. The wall was lined with pictures of her and her family. He smirked at a picture of her as a toddler, her face covered with cake, grinning from ear to ear.
She thanked him as she walked away to sit her purse down on a chair. With her back was turned,He walked up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist, catching her by surprise. He moved her ponytail over and kissed her neck. Kagome immediately felt her body tense up, goosebumps spreading over her skin. No one had ever held or kissed her like this. Inuyasha noticed this and stopped.
"You okay?" He asked turning her around.
She smiled again, and leaned in to kiss him, silent verification for him to continue. He moved from her lips, leaving gentle kisses down her jawline to her neck to her collarbone. Kagome's knees were beginning to feel like jelly, he leaned her against a wall, his lips never disconnecting from her body. His hands began to trail up her shirt and he unhooked her bra. Her soft skin felt amazing as they made their way to her breasts. She let out a small moan as they connected. He picked her up, allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist.
"Which way is your room?" He asked breathlessly. He hadn't expected her to make him feel so...he didn't even know what it was.
Kagome pointed down the hall, to where her room was. Still carrying her, they made their way to her room. He laid her down on the bed, kissing her again before going and closing the door.
Present Day
I sat up, trying to shake the memory from my head. If only I knew then what I knew now. I leaned my head onto the arm of the sofa, trying to chase out those memories with thoughts of food. Sango and I left before we ever got anything to eat. I got up to go look around for dinner. Just as I made my way to the kitchen, Sango ran out of her room flustered. She looked at me stunned.
"What? What's up?" I asked walking up to her.
"We have some real trouble."
"Is everything okay?"
She shook her head.
"Then what is it?"
"Kikyo."
My heart sank. I really wish I had a cup to break.
End of Chapter 7
If there's anyone who may have read the first version of this, yes I did extend the "love scene" The first time I wrote this I was like 16 and was just throwing out something I'd seen on TV. Now, at 20 and a little...ehhh... "experienced" (Don't give me that look...lol) I tried to make it a bit more adult. Tell me what you think, and even if you didn't read the first, still give me your thoughts!
