Gloden Star Dreams
Chapter 10: Double Dating pt 3
~~~(^^) 3rd Person POV~~~
He sat there in the seat of the limo with his arms folded over and an awful scowl planted on his face. While seeing the actor in such a foul mood wasn't too much of a surprise, the fact that he kept up this angry behavior is what upset the girl sitting next to him. Sesshoumaru growled upon seeing his younger brother and his woman at the entrance. They were obviously waiting for him and his date, Soshi, to arrive at the nightclub and Sesshoumaru wanted nothing more than to persuade his assistant back to his apartment and have their romantic night there.
Of course such an objective was impossible to complete since the excited Soshi instantly ran out of the limo after it stopped to go greet Kagome.
Slowly stepping out of the vehicle, Sesshoumaru took a moment to observe the supposed new location, Rosalita's; fairly small in comparison to other dance spots, not very crowded despite the fact that it was new, and the music playing didn't exactly suit his tastes. He preferred smooth jazz… or classical.
"This is the new nightclub? Leave it to my filth of a brother to choose such a low-level place. Soshi, can we please go somewhere else?" He said with a slight huff.
Before Inuyasha could retort to his comment, Soshi cut him off and with a smile, she grappled onto the actor's arm.
"Oh come on Sesshoumaru, it's not all that bad. Sure, this isn't like some of the other glamorous places you've been to, but it has a certain charm about it that I like."
"And what, pray tell, kind of charm is that? 'Hey, come here if you can't afford the finer things in life'?"
Though he saw the hurt face of his date, Sesshoumaru remained firm in his beliefs; he really wanted to take her someplace more fitting for the both of them on their first date. More importantly, he wanted Inuyasha out of the damn picture. He saw the little piece of shit going over to comfort Soshi along with Kagome. Although, it wasn't the woman he was worried about.
"It's alright Miss Soshi; Prima Donna over there thinks he's too good for everything." The actor heard Inuyasha say.
Only when he noticed the man take her hand in his and kiss it lightly in the manner of Lecher, did Sesshoumaru quickly walk over and drag Soshi inside the club by her waist, confusing the girl greatly. He absolutely hated that Inuyasha would openly flirt with other women when was Kagome present; it made him sick to the pits of stomach.
"Sesshoumaru, you changed your mind?" She asked him excitedly.
Her voice snapped him back into reality, but he made no move to look at her. "Quit talking or I'll change it again, and we'll go home."
Surprisingly, Soshi took heed to his word and once the two were inside, Sesshoumaru looked around the dimly-lit, orange tinted room in search of a place to sit and eat. There were actually a lot more people in the place than one would imagine if they observed it from the outside and at some point, the actor felt a little claustrophobic in the crowd of close-dancing people. Finally, there was freedom from the sea of people on the dance floor, and the group of four took their seats.
But just as Sesshoumaru predicted, Inuyasha would find a way to piss him off over the smallest of matters. The entrepreneur smoothly insisted that Kagome was to sit across from him so he could get a good look at his lovely date, while Soshi was to sit next to him because sitting next to his older brother would just be 'a pain in his ass'. With the women backing up Inuyasha's seating plan, the vote was basically 3:1 with an annoyed Sesshoumaru on the losing side of the score.
"What's wrong Sesshoumaru?" Soshi suddenly asked, her black eyes staring worriedly as she noticed the angered expression he was wearing.
He went to answer, but the smirk he received from Inuyasha only earned the younger brother a glare. Sesshoumaru watched in irritation as an arm, not his own, went around Soshi's shoulders pulling her close to Inuyasha.
"Yea Sessho," Inuyasha chimed in with a mocking voice. "What's wrong?"
"… Nothing…" Sesshoumaru finally said.
With a sigh, the silver-haired actor looked to Soshi and smiled sweetly at her doing his best to resist the urge to plant a nice right hook on Inuyasha's face. He was up to something; Sesshoumaru could feel it, and without realizing it, he was once again glaring harshly at the man sitting next to his date. His Soshi.
'Shameless rat…' He thought.
~~~Back to Soshi (^^)~~~
It was an awkward silence at the table; Sesshoumaru was constantly glaring at Inuyasha (for good reason) and across the table, I noticed Kagome's face. She was smiling, sure, but it looked like she was forcing her happiness rather than that natural glow she had when we first met. Was it because Inuyasha had his arm around me?
Don't worry Kagome… I'm definitely NOT interested.
Trying to break the tension – and get away from the man sitting next to me – I suggested that we all take to the dance floor. An overzealous Kagome automatically second the notion, and while the two feuding brothers were reluctant, they eventually gave in to my request. As I took my place to dance with Sesshoumaru, a slow song came on and his hand found my waist pulling me close into his chest. My face was a flare of red and my fast beating heart nearly jumped out of my throat as we started to dance, with him as lead. Funny, I never pegged him to be a dancer, but the way he twirled, dipped and moved my body with expert timing surprised me. On the final dip, he brought his face extremely close to mine and my body betrayed me as I tried to keep my lips from quivering. Just when I thought my daydream of locking lips with Sesshoumaru were about to be realized, Inuyasha and Kagome 'accidentally' bumped into us, spoiling the moment greatly.
"Ah, Dammit!" I shouted subconsciously.
To my fortune, Sesshoumaru didn't address my slip of the tongue, but instead he went to confront Inuyasha about his rude behavior. Seriously, what was up with this guy? My date helped me stand straight up before shooting his brother a deadly look, though Inuyasha kept his same smirk.
"Mind if I cut in bro?" The young Kenji asked slyly.
"You have a date. Dance with her you idiot!" I shouted from behind Sesshoumaru.
Suddenly, Inuyasha's two arms scooped me up anyways and spun me around in a quick circle before keeping his grip firmly around my body.
"Maybe I feel like dancing with you now… I've already danced with Kagome. It was her idea to double date and I'm doing just that, doubling my dates."
In the same fashion as Sesshoumaru, he twirled me in place then dipped me over so I could look him in his devious, golden eyes. While struggling to leave, I found my savior quickly striding over to us, his muscles flexing in his shirt as he began to crack his muscles. The younger brother was caught off guard as a hard fist swung in and cracked him right in his face. I fell to the ground below and watched in half horror and half satisfaction as a fight (that Sesshoumaru was winning) between the two Kenjis broke out. With security coming in to break up the hell on the dance floor, I stood to my feet with the help of Kagome and watched as they dragged both men out of the club and I followed them out.
Outside, I ran over to Sesshoumaru, who had already picked himself off the floor. He was about to charge at Inuyasha once again, but I pressed myself against him while Kagome fended off Inuyasha.
"Sesshoumaru, calm yourself!" I shouted, but something was wrong.
Really wrong.
Maybe it was just my imagination, but a flash of red sparked in his eyes before he looked down to me and began to back off. Without saying much, he gave one last growl as we entered the limo and rode home in silence. I looked at his anger-ridden face and noticed a dark spot on his eye. Inuyasha must have landed a punch in as well.
...Present time…
'Jeez… all that in one night…'
I stretched my back out before sitting up to go check on the sleeping Rin, and then I went to ready myself for bed by brushing my teeth and washing my face. Looking in the mirror on the bathroom wall, I sigh deeply feeling a little bad about throwing Inuyasha back in his face the way I did.
"Fine! Prolong your pain; you know I bet he would have let me help him heal his eye after getting slugged…"
I didn't mean to upset him. He did defend me at the club after all…
But that strange occurrence with his eyes, what was that? The thought sent a small chill down my spine and I wiped my face of the excess water before walking out the bathroom. I turned my attention to the shut door of Sesshoumaru's bedroom. He hadn't even made one attempt to come and harass me before I went to a room I had claimed my own. Plopping down on the bed, a yawn escaped me and I crawled under the covers going into a deep sleep.
Maybe I could show my gratitude with breakfast tomorrow…
~~~(^^)^ See ya next time!~~~
