REVAMPED
The two were in a corner of the living room but Ayame's bright red hair stuck out more than anything else. The lights were on full blast, and she knew there was no other man that could've just so happened to look like Kouga at that exact moment in time. Her feet took off and she sped across the room, bumping and shoving people out of her way. She saw Ayame pull back from Kouga's tongue in her mouth before putting his head down into her chest. Ayame then pulled her phone out and held it above them. Kagome wasn't sure if she was trying to post them on social media or if she only wanted some footage for her personal records. Either way, she didn't care.
"So, this is what we're doing now?" She said loud enough for the two to hear. Both had recognized her voice almost instantaneously and jumped apart from each other. Ayame had a look of fear while Kouga looked like he was ready to blow his hat.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked her, pushing Ayame away further away from him.
She crossed her arms and leaned on her hip. "I could ask you the same thing? Weren't you just mad at me for even speaking to her? Oh no wait, I'm sorry. That was probably you looking for a way to sneak around with her without me finding out."
"She kissed me!" He exclaimed, dropping the blame on her.
"Don't lie on me Kouga! You came over here and started kissing all over me!"
"Bitch you're not off the hook either!" Kagome hollered. "How dare you apologize to me in my face and then have the nerve to do this behind my back?!"
"Kagome, I-" Ayame tried to speak but Kagome cut her off.
"I don't want to hear it from either of you. The both of you can fuck off! We're done for good here Kouga! You don't gotta worry about me no more! I'm good off you!" She said, not wanting to converse with the two anymore. Her head was beyond heated, and she was sweating severly in not so pretty places from her anger. She immersed herself within the crowd, trying to create distance between her and the wolf demon that was screaming after her. No one paid them any mind since the music was too loud to hear them.
She looked around to see if she could find Sango and Yura to take her home. When she checked the large marble kitchen, she only saw boys dunking their heads into tubs of alcohol and cheering for each other. She saw another staircase leading to the second floor beside the back door. The set of stairs spiraled upwards, so she took her time to make sure she didn't miss her footing with the heels she had been wearing. Once she had reached the top, the music became much quieter but could still be felt through the floor. Random people were scattered along the long corridor. Some with alcohol in their cups and others with a tongue in their throat. Kagome could care less for either. Her stomach was starting to twist in knots and she could feel her eyes flooding in the back.
She checked the first door on her right after excusing herself past a smooching couple. There was nothing inside besides a few people sitting on the bed and the floor talking. It was the most normal scene she had seen since she got there. She wasted no more time and checked the adjacent room across the hall. When she opened the door, she was met with numerous girls gathered around a bottle. Sango and Yura were in the circle as well.
Sango was the first to speak. "Hey! We're playing truth or dare. You wanna join- are you okay? What's wrong?" She got up from her spot on the floor and rushed to her cousin.
Seeing Kagome's face, Sango could tell that Kagome wasn't having a good time already. She stepped outside the room and shut the door behind her before turning back to Kagome and rubbing her shoulder. "Did something happen?!"
She did her best to speak but as soon as she had opened her mouth, she began wheezing and the tears slipped from her eyes. Her nerves began to go slightly numb, and her chest had felt as if someone was sitting on her. Her nose startd to melt inside and the taste of mucus dripped into her mouth. She had physically witnessed something she denied for the past two weeks. After watching him, she knew that everyone had been telling the truth. Kouga was cheating on her the whole time, and she didn't want to believe it.
She thought she was ready to let go but that was thinking he hadn't been cheating on her and now here was she was faced with the truth. Sango pulled her into her chest, not caring about the tears and snot messing up her brand-new outfit. She rubbed her back and squeezed onto her tightly. Kagome had yet to tell her what was wrong, but she could feel Kagome's pain.
Once Kagome was able to get a little bit more air into her lungs, she tried to speak again over the wheezing. "I saw Kouga with Ayame."
Sango pulled back and looked Kagome in her face. "You're kidding right? He is still cheating after you took him back? Kagome no. Tell me where he's at." All of a sudden, Sango did a mild jog in place and shook her hands trying to loosen her muscles up. She was ready to punch a face.
"Sango, no. I just wanna go home. Please take me home." She pleaded with her congested voice.
"What? We just got here Kagome. There's no way we should let a scumbag like him ruin our good time! If I can't beat him up, at least stay with me-"
"No Sango! What part of no do you not understand! I wanna go home, that man is looking for me!" Kagome couldn't take not knowing what was going through Kouga's head, but she wasn't in the mood to give him anymore of her time.
Sango took a slight step back after Kagome had raised her voice at her. "Calm down Kagome. You're acting like you didn't just sleep with his roommate. Now let's just chill and if he tries anything, I'll beat his ass."
Dumbfounded, she stared into Sango's eyes with her red and growing swollen ones. She felt loved for only a moment from Sango's protectiveness but that protective side was almost instantly taken over by her unwillingness to leave. Kagome didn't have to think twice about what to do next. "Okay. Fine. If you wanna be that way and not take me home to a party you half forced me to come to, I'll find my own way home." And with that, she turned around and stomped off in her little heels, pushing the distracted, kissing couple out of her way. Sango sucked her teeth and stormed back into the game room.
Her shoes clacked down the stairs but couldn't be heard too well over the blaring music. When she had reached the bottom, she had seen more people flooding the kitchen to play beer games. Luckily, the wolf demon on the lookout for her was nowhere to be found. Not wanting to take her chances with running into him again, she silently snuck out of the back door that was half open. Stepping out of it, she closed it and headed down three small wooden steps. The ground wasn't that moist, but it was no place for her skinny heels to step into. She tried walking on the dirt, yanking her foot out every time her sharp heel was stuck in the ground.
As far as she had known, everyone was inside the huge house or on the front porch meaning that was the last place that her now ex-boyfriend could have been looking for her. The backyard was fairly dark with only one porch light which was beside the back door. She navigated her way using the small amount of light and saw the gate that led to the front. As she pushed it open, the rusted metal creaked and whined. That was the only time she had wished music was louder.
Stomping and yanking her feet through the ground, she felt inside of her clutch bag for her phone and pulled it out. After turning the screen on, she sent out a quick text and then went into her call log. Suddenly, she had frozen in her tracks when she heard the familiar voice coming from the front.
"I'm telling you man…I don't know. It's like I still want Sango, but I still want other women…maybe Inuyasha was right. Maybe I do have a real problem." Miroku's voice could be heard from the front with a drunken lisp.
Kagome was hoping he wasn't talking to Kouga, but life hadn't been in her favor for the past two weeks. "It wasn't an issue when he was in and out of every girl." Kouga replied. "And now here I am chasing Kagome's lame ass around because that fucking boy can't mind his business."
"Yeah man. I agree one-hundred percent. It's really crazy that Kagome's mad at you but she and Inuyasha was just fucking in the bathroom."
"What?!" He yelled, his voice echoing down the street, loud enough for a dog two blocks down to begin barking back.
"You didn't know?"
"KAGOME WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?! BRING YOUR ASS HERE RIGHT NOW!" He raged loudly, plowing his way back into the house and snapping the front door off the hinges in the process. Miroku shifted from side to side with a beer bottle in his hand trying to chase after Kouga. A few screams were heard from the inside. Kagome's adrenaline ran its course through her veins as soon as she heard him yelling.
She fidgeted with the straps of her shoes, trying to get them off because she was sure he was inside breaking stuff apart and it wouldn't be too long before he headed to the backyard and smelled her scent. She was the only person that had been back there. Hearing the straps unsnap, she breathed a sigh of relief and worked her magic on the next one which didn't take as long. She put both shoes under her arm pit and booked it leftwards down the street. She didn't know where she was or where she was going but she knew Kouga was already past angry. He sounded like he was ready for blood. His spine-crippling yell replayed in her head continuously as she ran bare foot on the rock and pebbled sidewalk. The stones poked the bottom of her feet with every step, but she didn't care. She had to get away.
She turned a few corners, trying to keep him off of her trail but knew it wouldn't last forever with his demon scent. There was no one else around to stop him. After about five minutes of nothing but consistent running, she stopped by a tree in front of a large blue unknown house to catch her breath. At that moment, she realized her phone had still been in her hand. She turned it on and dialed the first contact she saw.
"Please please answer…" She whispered, whimpering to herself trying to keep back the tears.
Inuyasha hadn't asked Kagome where she was going because he didn't want to invade her privacy. He considered that since he had already taken most of whatever privacy she had left, she could at least keep her girl plans to herself. He wanted her to enjoy her alone time since she was trying to get over Kouga. He was home alone due to the other guys being at a party. It was the first week of school and it was a Friday. It wasn't uncommon to have many parties during the first week but for Inuyasha it was uncommon for him not to at least attend a party during the beginning of the school year.
After Kagome had left, he had ran himself a hot bath and cooked up a crock pot of fresh ramen to devour. After he had soaked in the tub for about twenty minutes, his phone buzzed off. He scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion because Kagome was with Sango, and everyone was else was out at a party. His mom didn't like to text and Sesshomaru was a video call type of person. His dad was the only person he could think of that liked to text.
He shifted his hair in the bath water so that he could reach for his phone on top of the toilet seat. To his surprise, it was his new friend.
Kagome: Can you come get me? I wanna come home.
'What? Didn't she just leave? Did something happen?' Inuyasha thought to himself as all types of scenarios went on inside of his head. Kagome texted back extremely quickly, which didn't make Inuyasha feel any better.
Inuyasha: Sure can sweetheart. Where are you? Everything okay?
Kagome: No and at the party still. 6285 Rodrick Rd. plz hrry
She wasn't typing in full sentences, and she was responding a lot faster than any normally would. Inuyasha wasted no time and stood up out of his bath water. The liquid had been heavy on his head from his hair carrying all of the moisture. He dried off as fast as he could and put on the same clothes he had on before getting into the tub. He grabbed his phone and keychain and was out of the door in a heartbeat.
He put the address into the GPS on his phone and had sped off as fast as he could out of the parking lot. The ride itself was estimated to be about ten minutes but Inuyasha was sure he could get there faster than that. With his foot on the pedal, he maneuvered the car through light traffic, driving through almost every yellow light. When he had been two minutes away from the house, Kagome had called him. With the phone connected to the Bluetooth in his car, he pressed the answer button from his steering wheel before speaking.
"Hey, I'm almost there. I'm right around the corner."
"So am I. I'm in front of a big blue house with 8016 on it. It's not too far from the party but please hurry Inuyasha, I'm like freaking out." She had been speaking so fast, Inuyasha was surprised he was keeping up.
"Kagome, calm down. I'm turning the car around now. Stay where you are. Why are you over there? What's going on?" The worry in his voice was showing now.
"I…I broke up with Kouga and it didn't go too well. That stupid friend of yours told him I slept with you." She confessed. Inuyasha was confused as to why she was scared after breaking up with Kouga but once she said the second part of the sentence, it all made sense.
"Wait what? What stupid friend?" He asked, whipping the car into a U-turn in the middle of the street.
"Miroku. He even told Sango too but once he told Kouga….wait. I hear something….shit! It's him-Kouga please stop!" She said in panic as the phone cut directly after.
Inuyasha, realizing what was happening, swerved the car into the right parking lane almost hitting the car parked in front of him. He shoved the gear shift into park mode and got out of the car leaving the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked. He heard her shouts of terror from nearby and rushed to the source, his feet hitting the ground at a break-neck pace. He smelled Kouga's scent in the air, but it was mixed with a hint of something else.
'Shit…he's angry, and hormonal. She's probably so scared. Hang on Kagome, I'm coming.'
Two blocks further down, Kagome was being held by both of her wrists. Her phone was somewhere shattered in the grass after Kouga has managed to knock the phone out of her hand, injuring her hand in the process. Kagome pushed back against his grip with as much strength as the fear inside of her could muster. To the wolf, her bouts of strength had been mere baby slaps. He laughed them off and twisted her wrists inwards tightening his hold and creating an burn like effect.
"Ah! Stop! It hurts! Somebody help me please!" She cried out, screaming as loud as she could in hopes that someone could hear her.
He still laughed wholeheartedly at her attempts. "Bitch," he seethed as he looked at her, his eyes sadistically blue and radiating dark energy. "Scream all you want, and I'll kill everyone else too. You should've thought about this before you fucked that half demon!" He shoved her backwards and made her back collide with the tree bark behind her. She lost footing in the tree roots before sliding downwards. Her legs had fell open revealing her panties but this was the least of her worries. She tried to wobble to her feet, ignoring the snapping pain in her back.
Unfortunately, she wasn't fast enough. Kouga grabbed her by the arms and tossed her on her stomach. She then felt his foot slam against her back as the air left her body. His extremely callused hands started to rub the back of her thighs before sliding up onto her buttocks. She wormed and squirmed underneath, continuing to cry out but he kept going and slowly trailed his finger down into between her legs.
"I should've taken this a long time ago before you decided you wanted to be a whore."
Her emotionally reactive tears poured from her eyes as she tried once more to bargain with him. "Kouga please, I'll do whatever you want! Just please don't do this!"
"Well, I want this Kagome so you're just gonna have to suck it up just like you probably did Inuyasha's cock."
Before he could get another word in, Kagome felt his foot lift from her back, along with disgruntled-cough. She moved her neck trying to get a glimpse of what was going on. On the ground was a still body in a crime scene murder position. Beside the body was a tall man that turned around just as she was looking up. His yellow eyes beamed in the dark and she immediately knew who it was. He stepped towards her, placing his hands under both of her arms trying to help her to her feet without causing too much pain.
Kouga's scent had led him straight to their location. Luckily for Inuyasha he had gotten there just in time because had it been the police Kagome called, he wasn't sure if she would've been untouched by the time they arrived. He didn't think twice when he saw the wolf demon touching her. He launched and gave him a clean cold punch to the temple knocking him out in less than a millisecond.
Kagome's bruised and burning wrists were already beginning to tender and swell up. Besides that, her back was filled with soreness but it wasn't enough to keep her from walking on her own. Her bottom lip began to shiver as the reality of the situation hit her. Once again, she felt like it was all her fault.
"Inu-Inuyasha, I should've told you."
He grabbed her from underneath her legs and her shoulders and carried her in his arms, weary not to press too hard on her back. "Shh, it's okay. It's not your fault. We're gonna take you home and get you in bed. Tomorrow morning we'll go to the police."
"No Inuyasha, It's my fault. I should've told you he had been threatening me all week. I should've told someone."
He lightly along the pavements as he moved forward. "Kagome no. He's just a bitch and someone I should've paid better attention to. I should've buried him cold when I had the chance."
Kagome didn't say anything back. She just let the tears stream silently down her face and into Inuyasha's shirt. When they arrived back at the car, Inuyasha let her down to her feet and helped her into the passenger seat. He buckled her in before taking a good look at her face. Black streak marks stained her cheeks from her makeup and her bottom lip was lightly swollen. She wasn't wheezing or whining but the tears were still falling down as her lips still trembled in shock. Inuyasha could only imagine all the negative thoughts that were going through her head.
He reached to the right of him and into the glove compartment where he kept a few napkins. He grabbed one and pinched the tip of it, patting the falling droplets on her face. She looked up at him with nothing but utter regret in her eyes. Before he could stop himself, he started reading her body language to piece together what could have been on her mind. She just shook her head and closed her eyes in a subtle manner. The tears were still there but were less frequent. His touch had done just enough for her to be okay until he drove them home.
'Don't worry Kagome. I'll take care of you.' He said mentally to himself as he shut the door. He did a light semi-jog to the driver's side of the vehicle. As he opened his car door, someone had hollered their way.
"Hey! Don't you drive off with her!" Sango shouted jumping out of the slowly moving vehicle that Yura was driving. She stomped over towards his car.
She stopped in front of him. "I'm taking my cousin home with me Inuyasha." She stated factually.
On instinct, he scrunched the upper portion of his face together in a confused manner. "She said she wants to go home. So, I'm taking her home. I don't see the damn problem Sango so can you please just back the fuck off for once."
She punctured her index finger into his chest repeatedly. "You're not taking my vulnerable cousin home to fuck Inuyasha! Not on my watch!"
He smacked her finger off of his chest and took a step back from her trying to create distance between them before the situation got any more physical. His face was calm once more but was getting annoyed with Sango's actions.
"Where were you Sango? Clearly you weren't watching her! And you for sure weren't the one that took her home when she asked."
"And how do you know she asked me smartass?!" She shouted back defensively.
"Why the hell would she call me first when you were the one that brought her here dumbass?!" He retorted back.
She balled her fist up and cocked her arm back as if she was about to take a hit, but Yura jumped in between the two trying to shield Sango from doing anything. Sango tried to step to the left and then to the right but Yura sidestepped whenever she tried.
"Yura move damnit!"
"I don't care what you say but let this argument go any further than some words girl." She said calmly, clearly tired from the bummed out night.
"Look, I'm gonna go-" Inuyasha tried to cut in but he was cut off by Sango.
"No you're not! I will run your fucking car off the road! Don't you drive off with my cousin in your car Inuyasha!" She screamed, clapping her hands after each word was said.
"Imma do what the hell I want and whatever she asked so fuck you!" He yelled back imitating the claps in between each word as she just did.
"Kagome get out of the car!"
"Kagome don't get out the car. Stay right there."
The two continued to go back and forth shouting useless insults at one another before it started to get personal.
"You mentally abuse women!"
"I wasn't abusing you when I told you what Miroku was up to."
"I would've found out anyway!"
Inuyasha never gave Kagome all of the details pertaining as to why him and Sango weren't on good terms but as far as he was concerned, this was one of the reasons. In all his years of knowing Sango, she had always been very prideful. She always had an excuse, and she never wanted to be wrong or admit she was wrong. Her helping others was only limited to her gaining anything from it. Inuyasha used to think that she didn't know how to process certain emotions correctly but other times, he thought she was just being a bitch.
Although him and Miroku were on weird terms concerning their friendship, Miroku still gave him details here and there. Sango always fought on Miroku, sometimes leaving him with bruises and marks but he would take it as long as she gave him what he wanted which was to get in between her legs. Normally Sango would give him his way no matter what. As of recently, Sango was the one that had been messaging Miroku asking for him to come over, but she would always act as if he was the one that couldn't get over her when in reality, she was the one that couldn't get over him. Now here she was trying to tell Kagome how to live her life and Inuyasha wasn't feeling it.
"Oh sure you would've. Just like how your little girlfriend here is probably gonna find out you've been fucking around with Miroku this whole week!" He yelled loudly as Yura turned and looked at him.
Sango's eyes could've popped out of their sockets as far as they had widened. She was quick on her feet and responded with ease as if she hadn't had her tongue tied for a second.
"You are such a liar!"
"You need to take a good look in the fucking mirror Sango! You're full of shit, and you always wanna give someone else advice but you never want to take your own! There is no reason Kouga should've even had the chance to put his hands on Kagome tonight! What type of friend are you?!"
Sango shut her mouth as soon as he announced Kouga had touched Kagome. She thought back a few moments ago at the party.
Kagome had stormed off leaving Sango to return to her seat next to Yura. She tried to play everything off, but Yura could tell something was wrong.
She put her hand around Sango's shoulder. "Hey babe, you okay?" She asked, concern in her voice.
Sango looked the opposite of the Yura way and unwrapped Yura's arms from around her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just focus on the game."
Yura wanted to pull her aside but knew how Sango was. She wasn't afraid to make a scene and that was the last thing she wanted to do. The bottle was spun a few times, most of the girls were playing it safe and choosing truth since it was only the beginning of the game. After the third bottle spin, a hard crash erupted, shaking the floor they sat on and rolling the bottle across the room. The girls had all stared each other in confusion but Sango was the only one that had gotten up. She wasn't sure what was happening, but she knew Kagome was downstairs.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to go check on Kagome." She told Yura.
"Wait, I'll come with you." Yura had offered. Sango didn't say yes but she didn't say no so Yura took that as her okay to come with and check things out.
When Sango had gotten downstairs, she almost jumped back at the vile scene. Everyone was standing off in a corner cradling each other in fear as Kouga held a random guy up. The floor was drenched in liquor, and covered with spilled cups, and dirty plates. The leather couches had been slashed and flipped over while the boy in the wolf demon's hands had small drops of blood coming out the side of his head.
"Dude let me go! I-I don't know anything!" The young man tried to plead.
"One of you has till the count of five to tell me where that slut is or it's gonna get nasty in here!"
Thinking on her toes, she snatched a butcher knife out of the knife holder on the kitchen countertop and darted it at Kouga. He saw the projectile coming out of the corner of his eye and dropped the boy as he dodged his way out of the door.
"Hey! Stay away from my cousin you mutt!" She yelled after him.
Grabbing Yura's hands, she dragged her outside towards the backyard. "Come on, Kagome's probably hiding somewhere out here. We have to find her before that damn Kouga does."
"Why not call the police-"
"When do the police ever make it to situations like this in time Yura? The man isn't human. He is a full demon!"
"Well so am I-"
"Yura, he is male, and he is a wolf demon. I know what I'm talking about so drop it." She demanded and Yura obliged, keeping her innermost comments to herself as she listened to Sango's request.
The two had checked all over the backyard but could find no traces of Kagome. They then went back inside to see if she had hidden herself inside the basement. A crowd of people began to swarm outside of the house while a few stayed back to tend to the man that had a leaking head. Sango wanted to help but considered her cousin a higher priority. They searched the basement as well as the first floor but still couldn't find her. The last place to check was the open porch area but it had been so crowded with everyone trying to find a ride, Sango doubted Kagome was anywhere out front.
"She either found a way home or ran off on her own. Let's get in the car and see if she went somewhere close by. She couldn't have gotten that far on foot." Yura suggested. Sango agreed, following behind Yura to her car.
They hadn't been driving that long before Yura's keen eyesight saw Inuyasha putting Kagome of his car. Sango's was instantly heated and all she could see was red.
After going through the entire situation in her head once more, she was in complete disbelief to find out that Kouga had actually gotten to Kagome right after he fled the house. Her heart sunk and her stomach felt as if a dumbbell was dropped on it. Her cousin was almost begging to be taken home and had she only listened, nothing would've gone that far. She was still unsure as to what triggered Kouga but she was sure that she was the last person Kagome wanted to talk to about it. Throughout their entire argument, Kagome didn't say a word to either Inuyasha or Sango and both of them knew that her behavior was unlike her.
Finally accepting that there was nothing else she could do, she huffed and hung her head low, rushing back to Yura's car.
"Yura take me home." She told her, thrusting the passenger car door open and aggressively shutting it back once she hopped in.
Yura went back to her car and got in on her side. Her facial expression hadn't changed but she was feeling a little hurt by Inuyasha's accusations. "Sango, I know you're not gonna act like he didn't just say that. What the hell is he talking about?"
"I don't want to talk to you right now. Take me home." She said, not even bothering to look at Yura.
She blinked in a stuttering motion almost unsure as to how she wanted to respond, but she didn't want to make a scene. She unparked her car and sped off, the sound of the tires screeching as she drifted further on.
Inuyasha's head began to throb from the oncoming headache he was about to receive. He quickly adjusted himself into his driver's seat and turned the key to start the car. He could see Kagome out of his peripheral vision. She still had been in the same position she was in looking forward, but he sensed something slightly more peaceful. After listening closely, he could tell that she was fast asleep. It was unusual to him, but he didn't mind it. It was less that he had to do to get her to go to bed.
'Maybe she tired herself out from crying this whole time.'
He drove under the speed limit for once, not wanting to accidently run over a pothole and have the car flying through the air and waking her up in the process. He had been lucky enough to have a front row parking spot when he arrived. It was rare to get good parking because of how big their building was and the amount of students inside. He carried her the same way he had from earlier all the way upstairs. He skillfully used his arm that was under her knees to put his keys into the door. He shoved the door open, pulling his keys out of the lock in the process and let the door close behind them.
He didn't want to do anything without permission, so he put her on his bed and tucked her into his warm red blanket. He was still in his house clothes from earlier, so he didn't have to change. Kicking his shoes off, he assorted them back into their right spot amongst the rest of his shoes. He grabbed a peach-colored fleece blanket out of his closet and wrapped it around himself. He made sure he had his phone and charger in hand before shutting his bedroom door behind him and heading into the living room. He plopped himself down on the longer couch, taking in the weight of what went down and letting out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.
'Just in case that dick actually wakes up and shows his face, he won't find her in her room, nor will he get past to me to even make it back there. I refuse to let another woman in my life put up with a bum ass excuse of a man. I'm calling dorm administration tomorrow.'
The morning came and the sunlight began to seep through the balcony windows. Once the light started to tickle the half demon's face, his right eye began to twitch and the left one followed. Shortly after, his eyes drifted open, allowing bits of light to come in at a time. Although his eyes were semi-open, the rest of his body was stiff since the heavy weight of sleep had not lifted.
Inside of his room, unbeknownst to him, Kagome was wide awake as she had been for some time. After Inuyasha had left her alone, she had awoken to the darkened room but knew fairly well that it wasn't her bed that she had been placed in. Not wanting him to know she was awake, she simply laid still in the bed and rested her eyes periodically throughout the night as the recent events replayed in her head. She had managed to fall asleep at one point but had awoken after dreaming of Kouga dragging her out of the room.
She was still slightly shaken up but was able to think and hear herself a lot clearer after resting. When she noticed the room becoming brighter, she knew the morning had come. The sun did not have any effect on her getting out of bed but it made her realize how much sleep she didn't get as a headache began to form and the room started dance in circles.
She closed her eyes momentarily only to open them back up and see Inuyasha sitting in front of her on the floor with his back towards her. He was on his phone and Kagome could see enough to know that he was texting someone but she was too dizzy to make out what he was typing. Once he was done, he shifted his head to the right and looked at the wall for a brief second before returning back to the same position.
"Good afternoon sleeping beauty." He spoke. "How'd you sleep?"
Kagome was about to close her eyes and act as if she had still been sleeping until she processed what he said. "Afternoon? What time is it?"
"Uh" He looked down at his phone and checked the time. "1:37 pm my dear."
She sat up, leaning her weight on her right arm and using her other to wipe the crust from her eyes. Upon removing her hand from her face, she gasped at the sight of her back of her hand. She saw black streak marks from unremoved makeup and black crust from the makeup that seeped into the corner of her eyes.
'Oh my gosh, I probably look like a fucking panda right now.' She covered her face and crawled forward out of bed. Her footing wasn't entirely stable from the heels she had worn the night before, so she flat footed her way to the bathroom.
She took her makeup off and jumped into the shower. She was out in the next ten minutes and made it her next mission to get the sour morning breath out of her mouth. She scrubbed away at her teeth until she felt they were as white as they could get before taking a few lashes at her tongue. After rinsing her mouth out, she finally took a look at herself in the mirror. She had a few red spots around her face from a mild breakout, but it was nothing serious that required her to go out and buy concealer for it. Wrapped in her own blue towel, she exited the bathroom taking her non fresh clothes with her to put inside of her hamper.
She had once again been so indulged in doing a regular morning routine that the night's events had temporarily left her train of thought. This didn't last long because as soon as she stepped foot into her room, the memories came flooding in. She gnawed her teeth together as she thought about how Kouga had tried to force himself on her. It not only made her feel disgusted, but she wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.
'Yeah…we're done for good this time Kouga.'
As she was putting on a fresh pair or light pink briefs, she heard Inuyasha's deep voice echo out lightly from the hallway. She tip-toed to the door to try and get a better ear shot of what he was saying.
"I don't care. Let him rot in jail Naraku. I'm not paying for fucking bail because he wanted to do some damn property damage…Ok but listen, listen, fucking listen. If I go up there, I'm not only taking Kagome with me but I'm going to have her press charges against him…You should've fucking seen what the hell I walked in on….Why'd he touch her? It doesn't matter why. She didn't want it and she told him tha-….Yes, I told you that already. Miroku went and ran his big fat ass mouth while he was drunk…..Fuck off! I don't care what I did with his girl. The poor thing's probably scared now because of fuckers like him! I wish the two of you would stop trying to make this about me. I don't care who cheated on who! Raping someone is low as fuck…Ok then, if you agree with everything I'm saying, then why are you asking me to pay his bail…Yeah, I thought so. Bye. Get the fuck off of my phone…fucking asshole."
Kagome leaned back from the door. She had heard every word at least from Inuyasha's end. Her heart smiled at how he was going to the end of the world to defend her, but her skin still crawled at the thought of almost everyone she lived with practically supporting Kouga in everything he does.
'Kagome…just don't let it get to you. They don't even know you like that.' She told herself as she finished getting dressed. She put on a pair of jean shorts, and a long-sleeved red crop top sweater. The shirt stopped just above her navel.
She opened her door to see Inuyasha leaning on his door frame holding his phone in one hand, the other hand halfway inside of his gray joggers' pockets, with one foot crossed over the other. His ears twitched at the sound of her small footsteps as he looked up at her. His aggressively agitated face quickly turned into one full of sunshine and excitement. His fanged-out teeth shining brightly as he gave her his biggest toothy smile. She didn't want it to be, but his smile was contagious and she couldn't help but let out a small laugh before purposely coughing, trying to keep herself together.
"Why are you smiling like that?" She asked, covering her smile with her wrist as she dangled her head to the side; her wavy hair bouncing up and down as she did so.
He knocked the grin down to a subtle smile as he answered her. "Because laughter is the best medicine and we're going to go out and have a good ass time and be happy that the bitch ass wolf got arrested last night after someone at the party called the cops."
Kagome leaned her head back pretended to be shocked as if she hadn't pieced together the news from his phone call. "What? Really?"
"Yup, and Miroku is there right now for questioning, so I don't know what's going on and I don't care to know. Miroku's number is blocked anyway for the time being and I'm not answering any unknown phone numbers. I'm the last person they probably even want to question right now because they know that I know too much."
Inuyasha leaned off of the wall and went back into the room to grab his wallet and car keys. He then grabbed a pair of white Nike sneakers and left out of the room with them in hand. "With that being said, go put some shoes on because we're going shopping today."
Her eyes blinked wide open. She had completely forgot that they were supposed to go out and get brand new wardrobes. "I can't believe that slipped my mind."
He was already at the door about to put his shoes on but looked back at her after she finished talking. "What? You don't want to go anymore? I mean if you don't want to-"
"No! I mean, I want to go. It's just I forgot is all. I'll go put my flats on." She hurriedly went into her room and slid into a pair of red pointed flats from her closet. She then went back into the living room where Inuyasha was already holding the door for her.
The ride itself had been about twenty minutes long. Inuyasha didn't want to force her to have conversation, so refrained from saying too much. Kagome on the other hand didn't want to make the situation awkward by bringing up the night before no matter how much it bothered her, so she kept her thoughts to herself. Unfortunately, their ways of thinking led to nothing being said for the entire ride through. Once Inuyasha turned into a huge parking lot, it was then that Kagome realized which store he had taken her too.
"Woah, Inuyasha we can't afford this." She stated from her passenger seat, breaking the silence.
He looked back at her confused. "Um, you're acting like I don't know that, but I never said we were paying."
It was her turn to sport the trending confused look. "Inuyasha, if we aren't spending our money, then what are we using to buy clothes?"
"Um, it's called I have an older brother that gave me his credit card. I hope you didn't think I was about to drop a stack in a store. Oh no my dear. My parents are stingy."
Kagome flopped her head to the side, staring him in his face as if he had grown two heads. "So, you're taking me shopping with your brother's money? I don't think that's how you win a girl over."
He parked the car close to the front after he spotted someone pulling out just as he had come in. He whipped the car inside the lines in one try before turning the car off and pulling the key out of the ignition. The car's subtle rumble went silent. He stared back in her face, tilting his head in the same manner.
"One, who said I was trying to impress you? And two, its money that was given to me, so it's mine. Your mother birthed your body but it's not her body, is it?"
She snapped her head back, her jaw slamming open, and he could only give her a fake cheesy but playful smile as he got out of the car. He came around to her side and opened the door for her. She had shut her mouth but hesitated for a moment as she played the hurt role.
"I'm not going anywhere with you until you apologize." She said, folding her arms and turning her head away.
He inwardly laughed at her reaction and decided to play along. He slammed the door back and walked away from the car towards the store. She heard the sound of the door shut and turned back to where he had just been standing and saw that he gone. She unbuckled her seatbelt with haste and lifted her butt off the seat to turn around and get a better look. She saw him putting his keys inside his pockets, strutting towards the store.
"Hey!" She shouted. She knew he had good hearing but since the car door was shut, she wasn't exactly sure if he had heard her. Nonetheless, she turned back around to face forward in her seat.
"Fine, I'll stay here. He got the wrong one if he thinks I'm going to chase after him." She said to herself. If only she had meant it.
A few minutes had gone by, and her arms were still crossed. Many people had already walked past the car in both directions. For as pricey as the big clothing store was, she was surprised it attracted a lot of customers. The store's name was Clauviere-tumore. There were only ten store locations in the United States and they were almost always stand alone buildings. Although their products were on the pricier high-end spectrum, their in store experience is what brought them so much popularity in the first place.
Her patience running empty, she heaved a heavy groan to herself and exited the car. She didn't have the keys, so she wasn't able to lock it from the outside. Looking around, she couldn't find Inuyasha anywhere which worried her slightly. He wasn't hard to spot since it's not every day you see a man with dog ears sticking out of his head and white hair. Because she couldn't see him anywhere, she assumed he went inside of the store without her.
"Why that fucker-"
"Looking for me?"
Inuyasha spoke suddenly from behind her, causing Kagome to practically jump out of her own skin. She screeched backwards into her throat and scrambled into the air jumping away from him. She then leaned on the car while putting a hand over her chest trying to calm herself down once she realized it was only Inuyasha.
He wanted to laugh at her reaction but thought it would make the scene all the more funny if he feigned ignorance.
"I'm so sorry Kagome, I was ready to apologize after walking around and thinking about what I did, and I was a fool to leave you. Could you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?" He switched his accent to a British one, and grabbed ahold of her hand.
She tried to be upset but once he grabbed her hand, she melted like butter inside.
"Oh, you're so lucky I don't hate you Inuyasha. It's whatever. Let's just go inside and get some damn clothes already." She responded.
He showed her his brightest smile and quickly grabbed her waist in his arms, picking her up and spinning her around before placing her back on the ground.
"Oh splendid! I thought I would never win your heart back! Now we can spend our days laughing in the meadows and ridings ponies my dear lady!" He spoke excitedly, keeping up his British character that Kagome found difficult to not laugh or smile at.
"Stop Inuyasha. My stomach hurts from laughing." She said through the rolling laughter coming out of her mouth.
He dissolved into laughter himself and let the chuckles flow through his abdomen before he switched back to his regular deep, and raspy voice. "Ok, let's go then."
He took her hand and locked his car with the other. Kagome didn't know the area too well which made Inuyasha beam with light inside.
'I now have an excuse to hold her hand this whole time. Heehee.'
The store was a stand-alone building but held some of the best clothes man had to offer. Inuyasha wasn't too big on expensive clothing, but his older brother used to buy him a lot of clothes from the store to the point where Inuyasha couldn't imagine shopping anywhere else. It wasn't something to be too proud of but most of his one-night stands would great his clothing always looked, and would specifically point out how well his pants hugged his legs muscles in all of the right places.
The store had been decorated with gold diamond shaped lights hanging from the ceiling and the walls were a velvety red with occasional gold stripes along some areas. The clothing racks were all shiny gold spirals that looked like unicorn horns to Kagome. The manikins were wax dolls that looked almost like real people. The amount of money the place could've cost made Kagome's wallet itch in fear. She patted her hip pockets to calm it down reminding it that they weren't the ones paying.
The store had four floors. Upon walking in, there was a directory after the automatic sliding doors opened up. The bottom floor was for children and pets, the first floor which was the floor they stood on was for teens, the second floor was for adult men, and the third floor was for adult women. Kagome wasn't sure as to why anyone would need to do such expensive shopping for their pets but she didn't ponder on the thought for too long.
The two had boarded the first set of escalators behind a man in a business suit. He had a well fitted matte black suit on with a silver watch on his wrist. Since Inuyasha was there to get clothes as well, he decided they would start at the second floor first and work their way up. After the man in front of them stepped off, they followed behind before moving around him. Inuyasha already knew most of what he wanted so that they could spend more time looking for stuff for Kagome.
He led her past at least a dozen clothing sections before stopping at the Calvin Klein denim collection for men. He had been waiting to get ahold of a few pairs of their jeans for a while but never had the chance to. He even made sure he checked online prior to coming to make sure they had his size in stock.
"Alright Kagome. Here we are. This is the shit I've been looking forward to since we got here."
She looked at him realizing just what type of taste he had. "Oh…so you really do live a rich lifestyle."
He had already dove his head into the racks, flipping his long body of hair out of his face. Since Inuyasha was 6'1, he normally had to bend down for a lot of things. The clothing racks were not an exeption.
"Kagome my dear. How many times do I have to tell you? I am not rich; I just have irresponsible spending habits."
She shrugged her shoulders. "You don't have to tell me but you for sure would have to show me that your wallet cries when you walk into expensive stores too."
"Well, I kinda\ didn't even pay for my own wallet so I wouldn't know anything about that."
The store was rather quiet which is why Inuyasha liked it. Kagome on the other hand was used to overcrowded and popular stores where she could make all the noise she wanted and no one would hear her.
'I feel like if I even breathe wrong, people will hear me. Ugh.'
She looked over for only a second but a second was all it took for Inuyasha to find a cart and stuff it with a bunch of straight fit, and skinny fit jeans. The colors consisted of light blue, dark blue, grey, white, and black. Inuyasha grabbed two of each ignoring the seventy-dollar price tag on all of them. He had at least twenty pairs of pants sitting in the cart and all the woman beside him could do was stand there in awe.
'Oh my gosh…my college tuition. He's literally just blowing my tuition through the air right now…'
"Inuyasha, these are a lot of pants…do you need all of these?" She asked to double check.
"No but I have hardly any clothes because I didn't want to bring much. I'm throwing out whatever little clothes I have when I get home and I'm giving it to those fuckboys that live with us. That reminds me, I need t-shirts, v-necks, button ups, pajamas, and maybe shoes but we'll see. Shoes were the one thing I did bring enough of I think."
She was amazed; a little confused but amazed nonetheless. Once he figured he had enough pants, he pushed the cart in one hand and grabbed Kagome's hand with the other. He had grabbed her hand so swiftly, squeezing it firmly before settling for a softer grip. It was so natural that Kagome wondered if he had practiced grabbing his own hand for the occasion.
'He has to be up to something…' She thought to herself, giving him the side eye.
He had basically dragged her to almost every corner of the floor by the time he had everything he wanted. The large cart was packed and could hardly move anymore by the time Inuyasha was done. He looked over and saw an employee, so he whistled for the young man to come over. The man in his white button up and black slacks came over, his silver name badge stating "Akitoki" on the front. He gave a huge smile and clasped his hands together.
"Yes sir, how can I be of assistance?"
"My name is Inuyasha. I don't feel like carrying this around so can you take it to a cashier for me? I'm not done yet, but I don't want anyone taking stuff out of my cart." Inuyasha said.
The young man nodded in compliance. "Yes sir. It'll be my pleasure." The man handled the cart pushing it as hard as he could towards the nearest elevator. Kagome was staring at him walk away until her hand was forcefully grabbed again. Once they had gotten to the escalators, he turned and looked back at her.
"Now, it's your turn sweetheart."
"O-ok." She said, her nerves getting the better of her.
She wasn't sure as to why she was nervous. The closer they got to the top, the louder her heart became. It didn't help that she felt as if everyone could hear her. The store was so quiet that even though there were people walking around, to Kagome it felt as if they had the whole store to themselves.
Once they had reached the top floor, Kagome's heart could've stopped. From the floor to the ceilings, there was nothing but clothes, lingeries, shoes, jewelry, and anything else the world could have imagined for women. Not only was there an abundance of everything imaginable, they all wore price tags of $50 or more. The sight of all the pricey tags created a loud screech from Kagome's pockets.
Inuyasha leaned down to her ear and let out a light whisper. "You can get anything you want. Just say the word and it's yours."
She inwardly hissed and brought her legs together to keep any out of control hormones under wraps. The angels had sung to her eardrums. Not only was there a seductively deep vice talking to her, but she could have anything she wanted in the store.
'Well, if he wants me to grab whatever I want, I should be able to grant his wish and make him happy…oh my mom won't believe when I tell her this but who cares. Bye bye worthless clothing from Kouga, hello million-dollar wardrobe from hot best friend roommate.'
She looked up at the tall figure above her into his golden eyes finally taking notice to how close he was. She leaned up as if she was going to kiss him and for the first time which caught Inuyasha off guard. He froze up not knowing if she was going to do it but as soon as she got on her tippy toes, she just smiled.
"Thank you bestfriend." She snickered and ran off grabbing the first cart she saw and immediately started looking for underwear.
'If I am going to be a woman now, no more baby underwear from Walmart. I need real women panties.'
As she checked for her panty size in the decorations and patterns she liked, Inuyasha stood at the same spot beside the escalator in shock.
'Oh..she wants to play this game? She clearly must've forgotten who she came here with, but I have no issues reminding her.' He thought to himself, smirking.
He was surprised that she had already grabbed as much as she did in the short amount of time. While she was going through a rack of night gowns, Inuyasha let his eyes wander towards the cart. He took a mental note of the sizes just in case he wanted to get her a surprise gift later.
She was very quick when it came to pajamas, and underwear but once they had found the pants section, Kagome slowed down a bit. She would pick up pants she found to be her size but after placing them in front of her, she'd put them back. Inuyasha noticed how defeated she continued to look after pulling most of the pants off the racks.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked.
She gave him a half-hearted smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. I just hate how hard it is to find some really good jeans you know? It's like its hard finding pretty pants in my size and then when I finally do, they're for short bitches. Like I know the average height for most girls is like 5'5 and under but sheesh. They can roll their pants up if need be for a stylish look meanwhile us tall girls are stuck looking like we grew ten feet in our sleep over night."
He nodded as if he understood but he knew he didn't. Men's clothing were normally sectioned by waist size and leg length. Women's pants on the other hand were only measured by waist size meaning anyone too tall or too short were more likely to struggle with finding suitable bottoms. He began to contemplate how he could help in a situation like this.
Kagome put back another pair of pants, finally giving up on finding a pair that didn't make her ankles stand out. "It's fine Inuyasha. Shirts are a lot easier to find. Let's just go there."
She brushed the issue off as she had learned to do ever since she had hit her towering height. Her mom was always confused whenever Kagome would wear leggings and shorts over top of them. It was a lot easier than having to go out and find a decent pair of jeans.
Inuyasha then remembered a special feature the store had. "Wait Kagome. This store has a personal tailor. We can get you some really nice jeans made."
She instantly shook her head as she grabbed onto the cart and moved it forward. "No thanks. Plus, if I gain or lose any weight, I won't be able to fit them."
"That's fine, we'll just pay for some more."
She looked back at him and rolled her eyes. "Inuyasha. It's okay. You don't have to spend all of this money of me you know."
"Didn't you say this wasn't my money? You gotta be more consistent than that." He said walking up behind her with his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah well I don't know. I didn't like the man, whose name shall not be spoken, I was with buying me stuff. The same goes for anyone I'm not dating too."
"Oh we can change that." He said under his breath.
"Huh?"
"Oh nothing my dear. Nothing at all."
Inuyasha was still stuck on getting Kagome to get tailored jeans but knew she was going to continue to deny them. He then etched out a plan in his head in which he could get even from earlier, and get her to try out the tailor all in one go.
"Hey Kagome." He said picking up a thin white stretchy mini skirt along with a strapless red tube top. "Why don't you try these on? I think it'll look good on you."
She was in the middle of checking out some overly big t-shirts when he had called her name. She looked over and saw the raunchy outfit he chose for her. It was cute but she didn't want to admit, afraid of boosting his ego higher than it was.
"Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with my regulars."
He stomped his foot and puffed out a burst of air. He didn't want to resort to manipulative measures but he felt as if she left him with no choice.
"Fine, I'll just put this back since you clearly don't like what I picked out for you."
She stopped what she was doing to look at him with soft eyes. "Inuyasha that's not what I meant."
"No it's fine. I'll put it back."
"Fine, just give me the damn outfit. I'll try it on."
"You don't-"
"Just give it to me!"
He was mildly surprised at her heightened tone but only for a moment. His eyes quickly became half lidded and he handed her the outfit with a devilish smirk upon his face. "Ok" was all he said as she strutted away in her awfully short shorts that plumped up her bottom. Inuyasha made got a good view of her thick thighs as they jiggled walking away from him.
'Oh you're gonna be in for a real treat sweetheart."
He followed behind her towards the nearest dressing room. The dressing rooms were his favorite to be in at the store because they were spacious and big enough to do naughty acts in. The lady manning the dressing room station was stuck in her phone but still handed Kagome a random number tag to assign her a room. The lady had given her number 10 which was further in the back of the hall. Kagome walked along the marble flooring as she read through the numbers in search of her room. Once she had found it, she twisted the golden doorknob and stepped inside.
Inside was another golden wall rack to hang any unwanted clothes to the right and to the left was a red velvet loveseat. In the middle against the wall was a wall plated mirror surrounded by circular wall lights similar to the ones you'd see on a makeup vanity. She was taken aback by the fanciness and clutched her invisible pearls. Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes became orbs the size of Jupiter. She leaned down and rubbed her hand on the smooth velvet finished couch.
"Wow…so this is how the rich people live…damn, this is nice" She whispered to herself before stripping down and trying on the revealing outfit her half demon roommate had picked out for her. Unbeknownst to her, she'd forgotten to lock the door behind her.
As Inuyasha watched his friend go inside of the dressing room, he instantly pulled his wallet out that had an emergency stack of $100 bills, curtesy of his brother as a back to school present. He took out $1000 and handed it to the young lady that had just given Kagome her room number. She took the cash without even turning away from her phone. As soon as she took the money, the half demon made his way to the front of room ten. He turned the knob and opened the door and what he saw couldn't have delighted him more.
She saw him coming in through the mirror and her hand flew to cover her cleavage showing through the fitted tube top that clung to her skin just as tight as the white mini skirt had done. She spun around and backed up. Inuyasha initially didn't plan to buy the outfit but seeing her from head to toe in it instantly changed his mind. He shut the door behind him, locking it in the process.
"Hey! Get the hell out Inuyasha, you're not supposed to be back here!" She hissed at him.
"My my my, look at you my dear. You look so good I could just eat you up right now."
"I'd rather you not. Now is not the time or the place for that!"
He took a large step forward in front of her as he stared her down with his hands clasped together behind his back. "Says who? You said give it to you right? So that's what I'm here to do."
"Inuyasha that's not what I- eeee!" She squeaked as he cupped his hands under her derriere, and lifted her up against the wall to straddle his waist. He kept a good grip to keep her at eye level with him. Her arms instinctively went around his neck to assure that even if he dropped her, she could take him with her.
"Inuyasha, put me down-aaahh!" She couldn't finish the sentence due to Inuyasha setting his head on her shoulder and slowly licking up her neck. He stopped when he got to her ear and made sure to squeeze her lower half when he spoke.
"There are so many things I wanna do to you right now. You know that right?" He whispered. The sound of the soft but rough vibrations shook through her ear drums and rung the rest of her body in the process.
He pulled back to get another look at her face. She had her eyes closed but her plump lips slightly opened. She felt him pull away so she opened her eyes back up. Her sight was met with his intense gaze. His honey golden eyes were still, and their focus was all on her. Although he had no problem looking at her, she couldn't take the attention and moved her eyes downwards. She immediately regretted it. In the area between tube top and the skirt, her stomach was poking out a little and rolling up and she was disgusted by it. She quickly had second thoughts.
"Inuyasha put me down. I'm fat. I'll break your hands if you hold me any longer." She half-joked.
But Inuyasha wasn't the type of guy to miss a beat with his responses. "You're not fat and even if you were, it would just be more of you for me to go around."
He rested his forehead against hers, causing Kagome's voice to break. She was unable to speak or think after feeling his affectionate touch. He rested his mouth open, softly exhaling his spearmint breath onto her lips.
"Kagome, I don't just for anything with a Vagina. I do have standards, but I'm not like Kouga who gives a damn if his girl isn't skinny. I'll admit I have a preference for fluffy or curvy women and you my dear just so happen to fit that mold completely."
He moved his right hand under her ass to support her body while his left hand slid up and stopped on her hip. "I love hips," then towards to her stomach, "I love tummies," and finally back onto her thigh, "and I love thighs. Titties and ass are nice but as long as I can see and grab them, I'm not too picky on the size of them."
He brought his other hand back under her ass and gave it another squeeze. He lifted his forehead from hers and placed it back inside the dip of her shoulder without letting his tongue roam free this time around.
"But don't mind me, I'm just rambling on." He said before letting his tongue get back to work.
Her throat felt as if it had closed up the entire time he had been talking to her. She also could've passed out from the amount of body heat he was giving her combined with her own temperature that was steadily rising. Her thoughts ran wild, ranging from how nervous he made her to how wet her underwear was getting from his consistent squeezes.
'Controlling myself was never this much of a problem when I was dating Kouga.' She thought to herself trying to trade her feeling of the tongue from the man below her with something that turned her off.
That's when images of Kouga's face from last night appeared in her head and all of a sudden, she could have sworn she felt his clammy hands slide up her bottom where Inuyasha's hands currently were. She shoved him off of her as she dropped to the ground.
"Get off!" She screamed as she began swatting at her skin although there had been nothing there. She realized the situation was all in her head within seconds as the view of her shocked roommate became clear.
The guilt plucked at her heart. "I'm so sorry Inuyasha. I was just..I-I…Kouga's head popped up and I remembered last night and..and" She started crying again resulting in her being brought inside of Inuyasha strong and sturdy arms. The trauma she had experienced started to run another cycle on her body. Once again, the unfortunate memories were now at the forefront of her mind, and all she could do was cry.
Inuyasha was immediately as apologetic as she was. "No Kagome, I'm sorry. Fuck I shouldn't have even touched you after all of that."
'Yeah…I know better than that. What the hell has gotten into me?' He asked himself internally.
"No, you're fine. It's *sniff* it's just he was so aggressive and I *sniffs* couldn't do anything. I felt so helpless." Her voice cracked through the tears.
"Shhh. I know. It's okay. You don't have to say anything." He cooed her, doing his best to calm her down.
This time around, she didn't cry for too long. Inuyasha let her get dressed in her original clothes in privacy. While she had been getting dressed, Inuyasha had paid for everything they had picked up while they were there. He decided he'd wait till she felt better before bringing her back another time.
Once she was done, he explained to her that the clothes would be shipped to their home by tomorrow evening. She asked him about the price of everything all the way to their car, but he refused to tell her. When the two had arrived back on campus, Inuyasha was still trying to get Kagome off his case about the price tags.
"Kagome, I already told you it wasn't an issue. Just leave it be. Sesshomaru will take care of the bill."
"Yeah I know Inu, but still I wanna know. Just tell me! Pwease!" She begged him which made him smile to himself.
"The answer is still no, sweetheart." He said, happy he was able to keep Kouga off her mind for the moment.
He had been the one to lead the way upstairs. Once they were back inside their dorm, Kagome went straight to her room without taking her shoes off. He then heard a few thumps before she came back into the room barefooted.
"So, what should we do now? It's not that late." She asked.
He shugged. "I don't know. Is there anything you normally like to do this at this hour?"
She shook her head. "No, not really. I'm pretty much a social media whore and I have no intention of facing my addiction."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he chuckled at the idea, realizing the amount of times he'd caught Kagome scrolling through her timeline every day. "Oh gee, you don't say…" He said sarcastically.
She placed her fists on her hips. "Well, the only thing I've seen you do is watch stuff. I wasn't too much of a TV person when I was younger so I guess we can watch something together?"
His heart jumped ten times backwards and ended the show with a front forward summersault. "I thought you'd never ask love."
He grabbed her hand and dragged her into his room, slamming the door behind him. Although they were supposed to be enjoying motion pictures together, somehow the two young adults had gotten into a tickle fight. He tickled her first to get his giddiness out which erupted laughs from her for a while. She did her best to fight back, but Inuyasha wasn't as ticklish as she. Soon, their laughter was replaced with the sound of jingle bells and Christmas tunes as the two settled down in his bed. One of Inuyasha's favorite past times were Christmas cartoons, and he was happy to share his joy with his newfound crush.
As the two rested comfortably in Inuyasha's bed, the front door had clicked open and in walked the feet of three men. Miroku, Kouga, and Naraku had just come back from paying off Kouga's bail. Kouga's nose went to work as soon as he stepped foot inside of the living room. He could hear the two of them inside of Inuyasha's room..
"Kouga, just chill. They said you won't be getting any type of bail if you they see you any time soon." Miroku tried to convince him, but the wolf demon wasn't trying to hear it. He rolled up to the door and kicked it down.
"I SWEAR I WILL FUCKING KILL THE BOTH OF YOU-"
"Hello, anyone home?" A random but familiar voice sung from the front door causing Miroku and Naraku to turn around and even Kouga to pause.
They hadn't been expecting him so soon.
