REVAMPED
The orange haired boy stepped through the door to see his older two roommates stunned at the entrance but before he could speak, a loud voice erupted from around the corner grabbing everyone's full attention.
"Any fucking way, get the hell off of her before I break your arms, mutt!" Kouga shouted at the couple on the bed.
Kagome cowered behind Inuyasha as Kouga got closer to her. Although she felt safer behind a stronger build, she knew Kouga was close enough to do real damage to either of them if they weren't careful. Inuyasha on the other hand was simply unbothered. His half-lidded eyes stared Kouga down right back.
"You're really pushing my buttons Kouga. If I have gotta beat your ass one more time, I swear to god-"
"Do your fucking worst and on everything I will END you Inuyasha!" He interrupted, stomping forward to stand over Inuyasha. The wolf demon's fists were clawing the inside of his own palms as they remained firm at his sides. His thick and dense eyebrows furrowed deep together,
Inuyasha's face was still relaxed and uncompromised while Kagome remained behind him in worry. Inuyasha's nose twitched as the smell of fear began to emit from Kagome and that's when he could feel the irritation thumping throughout his nerve endings. He wanted nothing more than to keep Kagome preoccupied from feeling upset but unfortunately his efforts were in vain due to the issue showing up at his door.
'I was hoping the jail would keep him way longer but looks like I'm gonna have to make a few calls after all…'
With a heavy shove, Inuyasha sent Kouga flying backwards into his dresser. A grunt emitted from Kouga's lower throat as his back collided with the wooden object. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand, placing her in front of him, and gave her a rushed gesture to make a swift exit out of the room while Kouga was still recovering. In the process of it all, a familiar scent caught his nose, and he couldn't have asked for better timing.
He hollered out. "Aye Shippo! Come here-" only to be interrupted by a swift uppercut coming his way from the back. Shippo was at the door in a heartbeat only to witness Inuyasha leaning away from Kouga's flying fist. Before he could jump to action, the man he had brought along with him was already in the hall putting Kouga in a choke hold.
"Let me go!" Kouga scrambled his body in a twisting motion trying to break free from the strong armed man. He even went as far to bury his claws into the guy's bare arms, but the scratches barely caused a flinch out of the guy.
"I don't know what's going on here but we're gonna need you to chill man. I'm pretty sure we can all solve whatever happened here without the fighting." The guy said to Kouga, tightening his grip to emphasize his seriousness.
Kouga's motion slowed down as the oxygen flow to his brain began to decrease. He used his only gasps of air to curse at him. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, already utterly annoyed by the situation. He quickly brushed off the agitation and turned hid attention to his younger cousin.
"Shippo, do me a favor. Take Kagome downstairs and sit her in my car. I'll be down in a moment." He tossed Shippo his car keys and motioned for Kagome to go with him. She was about to ask him a question but he practically pushed her on to Shippo to avoid any more setbacks. Shippo clumsily caught the keys as well as Kagome who had been thrown his way.
'Damn Inuyasha. You didn't have to strong arm the girl. She has feet..' Shippo kept that thought to himself not wanting to include himself in the line of fire.
He walked into the living room area where Miroku and Naraku stood idly by, both with their arms crossed. Miroku let out a sigh as he caught a glimpse of Kagome. Shippo was curious as to how the men had become so divided since he had last seen them. He decided it would be best to put the question on hold until he could get a solid answer.
'The real question is which guy is actually going to give me an honest answer…if they even decide to give me an answer at all…'
Shippo and Kagome had entered the hallway just outside the elevator and the feeling had changed completely. The noise from inside had dulled out and the tension dropped as soon as the men were out of sight. Kagome had heard Shippo's name before but the two had never formally met. She wished that the circumstances of their meeting were different but knew there wasn't much she could have done to prevent it.
Once they were in front of the elevator, Shippo pressed the down button to call for it. He turned his head over his shoulder to see Kagome's head down fiddling with her fingers.
"So your name is Kagome right? I'm Shippo. Inuyasha's younger cousin." He said sticking his hand out in front of her. She flinched slightly but shook his hand right away.
"Yes, Kagome Higurashi. It's nice to meet you Shippo." She spoke with a slight trimmer in her voice, still clearly shaken up.
'I wonder what happened…well the least I can try to do is keep her mind off of it.'
It was then that Shippo got a good look at Kagome and immediately knew how to get a new conversation going.
"Girl, your body is banging! You have to share your secrets with me so that I can be slim thick with my cute ass too." He jokingly said referencing Kagome's waist to thigh ratio.
Kagome glanced down for a moment chuckling at Shippo's comment. "Oh no. I am not slim thick or any of that. I am like so fat." She poked her small gut for emphasis but Shippo gave her the shady side eye.
"Well, there ain't nothing wrong with being fat either and if you're what people call fat then I gotta get on your level because you are the bomb dot com." He said, pointing to her head then to her feet.
Kagome smiled and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thank you."
"No problem sweetie."
The elevator dinged and the two young adults stepped in. Shippo pressed the L for lobby and the two were on their way down, picking up a few other people as they neared the bottom. Everyone had gone their separate ways while Kagome and Shippo were the last to step out. Shippo pulled Inuyasha's keys out of his pockets and handed them to Kagome.
"Here, I don't know what car is his or if he still has the same one. Sesshomaru's always buying him stuff so I never know shit about shit." He let Kagome take the lead.
Once outside, the slight sun that had been beaming only hours ago was heading downwards but still had a sturdy place in the sky. Kagome glanced over the parking lot before spotting the familiar vehicle she had been in. Kagome pressed down on the unlock button twice to make sure both sides were unlocked. She had gotten in on the passenger side while Shippo took the driver side. When Kagome shut the car door, Shippo grabbed the keys out of her hand and put them into the ignition.
"If he's gonna have me down here with you till he's ready, the least he can do is give me some damn air conditioning."
Kagome laughed again at the fox demons subtle jokes. "You are nothing like your cousin."
Shippo looked up at her with his brows furrowed together. "I would hope not. I'm faithful to my boyfriend-OH! That was a low blow of me. Do not tell him I said that!" His demeanor quickly switched to a form of panic. Kagome didn't quite understand what his comment was referencing to but she nodded anyway to assure him that her lips were sealed.
He placed his open palm over his chest. "Ooh. I have to do better. I used to be so innocent until I met Bankotsu."
"Bankotsu?" Kagome said in confusion. "I assume that's your boyfriend?"
Shippo nodded. "Yeah. The guy upstairs that just held the angry wildebeest down. Strong ain't he?"
Kagome thought back to the scene when Kouga was being held back. The guy had a super defined face that not even a diamond could compare to as well as purple eyes. His hair had also been braided back into a long ponytail.
"Yeah, he really is. He was able to hold Kouga down with no problem." She said.
"I've never seen Kouga fight. Is he really strong?" Shippo asked out of genuine curiosity.
Kagome titled her head from side to side. "Eh, I thought he was until I met Inuyasha."
The fox demon's hand flew over his mouth. "You shady girl. How well do you even know Kouga?"
It was Kagome's turn to give him the side eye, her fear and panic completely gone and out of her system. "I'm technically his ex as of yesterday so don't even get me started."
As soon as Kagome had spoken, several switches connected in Shippo's head regarding what he walked in on. He placed his hand over his mouth again realizing who was really sitting in front of you. Surprisingly this made him smile.
"Oh em geezees. My cousin finally likes someone again! Yas bitch! Finally his lonely, and depressed slut self can move on!" He shouted to himself in pure joy, causing a stunned reaction from Kagome.
She put her hands up in front of her. "Woah there. Don't you think that's a bit of a jump?" She asked.
Shippo put his rejoiced fists down back onto his lapped and stared at her with a cocky smirk. "Kagome, I was born a day but yesterday was not that day. You're Kouga's ex. Your ex-boyfriend was about to fight another man that you were hiding behind, the same man that wanted to assure your safety. Either two things happened, you got caught cheating and Inuyasha was being a whole whore," he put one finger up, "OR Kouga is a jealous person that doesn't wanna see you happy with another man after he messed up your relationship." He then put the second finger up.
The girl folded her arms and bucked her head a little. "And how do you know I wasn't the one being a little promiscuous?"
"I don't know for sure but Inuyasha hates cheaters and is known to embarrass people and rat them out for cheating so I doubt he would do that with you…but wait…I'm confused though. How long have you and Kouga been together?"
"Well we were together for three years before I came here and found out the truth…I'm assuming you knew too?" Her smile dropped as she recalled the past week's recent events.
Shippo's eyes were as wide as jawbreakers. "Kagome! No…Please tell me you're….I am so sorry. I swear I did not know about you at all." He put his open palm back onto his chest and grabbed Kagome's left hand with his other. He looked her in her eyes.
"Kagome, I have seen that man do some things in my short time here last semester but now knowing you were his girl the whole time…that is so messed up and you deserve so much better! I'm glad you dumped his sorry ass. Me and him were cool but we weren't friends like that so trust me had I known, I would not have allowed that mess anywhere near me."
Kagome shook her head. "Shippo, it's okay. It's my business that doesn't have anything to do with any of you guys. None of y'all owe me anything, no apologies, or whatever else. That's exactly why I don't blame Miroku and Naraku for not saying anything either."
Shippo's nostrils flared outwards as he puffed air inside of his cheeks. "That's still bullshit to me that they just wouldn't care at all but Kouga grew on them more than he did on Inuyasha. We were all cool but Inuyasha and I were the only ones that never hung around Kouga by himself…wait. So Inuyasha was the one that told you?"
She nodded in confirmation. "Yeah."
"Thank goodness he took one for the team. So that's why everyone is so divided. They're straddling the fence with Inuyasha because he told you."
She nodded again which only made Shippo shake his head even more. "That's bullshit because when Inuyasha told on Miroku, he was upset but they still got over it and Naraku didn't straddle the fence then. Inuyasha has always told them don't do any of that stuff around him because he'll tell. It was whatever then so why is Kouga any different? Oh my gosh. I cannot stand the fakeness that is going on right now."
"Well Kouga has a history of getting anything he wants besides my virginity so at least I can say I walked away with that."
"That's the spirit! I think you and I are gonna get along just fine from here. I am so happy my cousin found you and I'll be even happier if he actually does like you but if you two didn't sleep together then why is Kouga mad?"
'Kagome, you're spilling a lot of information…but it's not like he knows anyone that I know besides Inuyasha. Not to mention Miroku walking around and telling everyone the wrong version of everything.'
She shifted in her seat and rubbed her hand across the back of her neck. "Well…we didn't sleep together but that doesn't mean we didn't do other things." She openly admitted.
Shippo gasped. "Oh! So you were being the promiscuous one! How did it feel?"
She stared at him in his face with a blank look. Shippo then remembered the reality of their situation.
"Oh my bad. Am I asking too much for a stranger? My social skills can be a little off sometimes."
She shook her head and gave him a toothy grin. "Nah. It felt incredible. Almost unreal even. Kouga could not compare to what Inuyasha did to me-"
"Eeeeee! Yes girl! I am so happy for you! I don't even know you but I am so happy for you! Get that demon tongue girl!" He playfully pushed her into the passenger seat door. The two were a giggling mess.
"Oh stop. It's not like I slept with the guy but what about you and Bankotsu? Was he a hoe moment?"
"As a matter of fact, he most certaintly was. I had just gotten out of a longterm thingy of like two-ish years and then I dated people on and off until one day I just gave up you know? Not gave up as in I'm gonna slut myself around the whole city but more so I just wanted to do me until I was content with myself."
Kagome nodded in agreement. "I completely understand. Maybe I should take lessons from you."
He shifted in the drivers seat so that was facing Kagome and sitting on his leg. "Oh no girl because it was during this time that Bankotsu crashed my life and turned me all the way out. I found myself in so many ways. He let me take my time to discover who I really was while also giving me some good loving here and there. We met while I was here actually. He was on a college tour and I was leaving class. I had a really rough day that day because the guy I had a small crush on was undercover and he had a girlfriend so I went into the bathroom and cried in one of the stalls. Then someone knocked and asked me if I was okay. I tried to open the stall and run past him but he stopped me and saw my face and immediately gave me a hug and said 'I don't know you and I don't know what's going on but it's going to be alright.' And I just melted right there." Shippo fanned his eyes to keep the tears from coming down. He chuckled thinking about how life had been since that moment.
Kagome urged him to continue as she became immersed in the fox demon's story. "Then what? You got his number or something?"
Shippo almost choked on his tears at Kagome's words. "Girl. You're funny. We had sex in the stall, and then he gave me his number and an address. I called him later that night and he didn't answer so my crazy ass hitched a three-hour ride to that address that night to get some more penis. From then on, I did slow down a bit and got to know him better but girl. He was always testing my innocence. I was so timid back then too. I mean I still am, but I am a lot shadier now because of him I think."
Kagome laughed although she was a bit taken aback by the story. Nonetheless, she was happy everything worked out for him. "So is he why you took so long to come up here?"
Shippo waved him hand. "No. I decided to be extra hoe-ish and spend the summer with Bankotsu and that's when my family officially found out about me and they refused to let me come get any of my stuff from the house until I was straight. I had to get the cops involved and everything and yeah. It was a mess but Banktosu was buying me clothes and other stuff and giving me a place to stay. He was just really supportive."
"I'm sorry to hear about all of that. I can't even imagine what that's like…"
Shippo smiled brightly. "Don't worry about it. I'm honestly over it at this point and just want to move forward without any drama."
"Agreed."
The two talked eachother's heads off for the next half an hour as they awaited Inuyasha's arrival. As time went on, Shippo became concerned and decided to give Inuyasha a call. After the first few rings, the half demon picked up.
"Yeah?"
"Hey Inuyasha. Everything going okay up there?" Shippo asked.
"Yeah, everything's okay-Miroku no one was fucking talking to you! Stop picking and choosing when to mind your business! Damn! Hello? Sorry about that."
Shippo could tell things were going worse than what Inuyasha was letting on. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I'm coming down now with all of Kagome's stuff because it's not safe for her in here."
"What do you mean?"
"Kouga is in here running off at the mouth about what he is going to do to her when he sees her so I recorded him and I am going to take this to the police in a few moments but I wanted to get all of her stuff together because if the DA doesn't make an exception for today, then I am going to have to go to plan B for her…Yeah, those are hers Bankotsu. Thanks. Okay, we will be down in a minute Shippo. Thanks for helping out."
"Uh sure no problem." Shippo hung up the phone and told Kagome that the two men would be down momentarily. As planned, a few minutes later, Inuyasha and Bankotsu emerged from the front doors holding all of Kagome's bags in their hands with ease. Kagome swiftly got out of the car to greet them.
"Hey, um what are you doing with my stuff?" She asked as Inuyasha loaded up the trunk and the backseat of the car with her bags and luggage.
"Taking it with us because it's too dangerous for you to stay here."
She bit her lip and folded her arms. "What do you mean?"
He slammed his car trunk closed. "I mean that Kouga is saying some things that are going to make you uncomfortable and it is in our best interest to get you a new place to stay. The DA closes in like the next ten minutes so we have to go now."
He walked around to the drivers side and opened it for Shippo to step out. Inuyasha then got in the car followed by Kagome getting into the passenger side. She was putting on her seatbelt when a knock on her window made her jump. She then saw the tanned man with the black braided hair giving her a wave and a smile. She pushed down the button for her window to come down and stuck her hand out to shake his.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kagome." She said.
He shook her head in return. "Nice to meet you miss Kagome. I'm Banktosu. I hope the next time we meet will be under more laxed conditions."
"Yeah definitely. See you later and thanks again. Bye Shippo! " She waved as she rolled her window back up. Inuyasha then pulled out and sped his way through the parking lot.
Although he was focused on the slim, narrow road, he was still able to communicate with Kagome.
"I'm really sorry about this Kagome. I didn't know shit would get this bad. I thought had just a little bit more time but I guess life just doesn't want that. I just want you to know that no matter what the else happens today, you will have a stable place to rest your head until we can get everything sorted out."
She nodded. "Thanks Inuyasha but what could be making him go crazy like this? I've never seen him so worked up before."
"Probably the drugs." He stated.
"Huh? Kouga has never done drugs." She responded.
"Well I don't count weed or pot or whatever you wanna call it as a drug. I'm talking hardcore shit. Cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, and a bunch of other shit he shouldn't be touching. I noticed a hint of it when he was over top of you the other night and I could smell the shit still in his system after I had Shippo bring you down here. He is already having a hard time dealing with his emotions and now he's getting high out of his mind on top of that. He is going to get caught up fucking around with those frat boys."
Kagome rested her forehead into her hand. The situation was becoming far more real by the second and everything seemed to only get worse as time went on. Inuyasha had pulled up in front of dorm administration and practically yanked his car keys out of the ignition. He jumped out of the car and hopped up the long stair case and into the building. Kagome assumed he wanted her to wait in the car so she didn't move.
*buzz buzz buzz* Her phone vibrated.
She grabbed the cellphone out of her pocket and recognized who it was as soon as she saw the ID. She pressed the red ignore button and put the phone back in its place;however, as soon as it was tucked away, the vibration went off once again. She groaned in frustration.
Taking her phone back out, she went into her contacts and erased his contact completely while blocking his number in the process. She was hoping that would give him the memo that she didn't want to be bothered by him.
About ten minutes went by before Inuyasha came out of the building skipping over all of the steps and walking non-chalantly back to his car. When he had gotten inside, he shut the door and looked over at Kagome.
"This is what I mean by schools don't give a fuck. I showed them everything that has happened with Kouga but they don't see that as fit to give you a spare room to stay in for the night. They said it will be at least a week until they can get you settled due to the demands and cost arrangements. They're so full of shit, I swear to god."
Kagome's heart sunk as Inuyasha had broken the bad news to her. She was unaware of what Kouga said after she left but she was sure it wasn't anything nice. Before she could ask about where she could spend the night, Inuyasha spoke up.
"So you'll be living with me now if you want to…you don't have to I mean…I'm not forcing you-"
"Woah, slow down there partner. What are you talking about. We live in the same building in the same room on the same floor."
He shook his head. "No. I called Sesshomaru up because I didn't want to be there either and I asked him to get me a two bedroom apartment close by and have it furnished in the next two hours or so. You are welcome to use that bedroom as your own until the DA actually wants to help you out."
Kagome froze for a second, realizing what Inuyasha was actually saying.
"I don't know Inuyasha…" She hesitated.
"I really don't want you back in that place Kagome and I damn sure don't want you with Sango either because Kouga knows how to get to her. She also isn't the most reliable person either."
"But-"
"Please!" he begged.
"Inuyasha. This is too much. I can't. No way that's happening. We hardly know each other. I mean yeah we're technically already living together but it's different cause there are other people there and it's on campus and my mom knows about it and it's just not the same as going to live with another random person somewhere else far off." She went on, becoming frantic the more she spoke. Although the two had become rather close, she felt very uneasy at the thought of Inuyasha placing her in an apartment that only he knew of and how to get to.
He paused as his face became still, eyes narrowed, and his breathing slowed. He kept his eyes on Kagome in silence for the next thirty seconds or so before speaking up again.
"Kagome my dear?" He called her out in her regular nickname which appeared to calm her down momentarily before shoulders tensed up again.
"Yes Inuyasha?" She responded sternly staring him in the face just as serious as he had been staring her down.
"Do you want me to go to jail?" he asked.
The question caught her off guard but she quickly responded back. "No. Why?"
His head tilted to the other side but his facial expression remained stoic. That's when his voice became hushed with a hardened tone.
"Because if you stay here…and Kouga tries something…I swear on everything I love I will murder that man in cold blood Kagome. Do you understand me?"
Her skin shivered at the sound of his tone. It was then that she felt there wasn't any further backing down from this. Besides that, she knew for a fact that the wolf demon would probably torture her if she went back. She gave Inuyasha's offer a second thought before coming to a conclusion.
"Okay Inuyasha. I will stay but only until the DA can help me."
He put his hands up. "That's alright. I just want you to be safe and comfortable."
She heaved a heavy sigh. "I know Inuyasha…thank you for protecting me. I really do appreciate it. It's scary to think about but I honestly don't know where I would be without you right now."
She leaned over her chair and rested her elbow onto her arm rest and her cheek onto his shoulder. He glanced down at the messy haired woman and gave her a small peck to the forehead.
"It'll be okay Kagome. I'll make sure of it. Just give your mom a call and let her know where you're at. You don't have to go into heavy details but just so she knows the address and everything."
Kagome nodded. "Okay."
Inuyasha pulled out his phone to text his brother for the address of wherever their new place would be. He put his phone back into his pocket awaiting the buzz from the text but received a ringtone instead.
Wrist so icy, wonder why she like me, bitch I'm drownin'
In water, I just bought a Cuban, dipped it in a fountain
Every where that I go it's a light show, I'm surrounded
Bust down, bust down, bust down, bust down, bust down, bitch I'm drownin'
He pulled his phone out quickly and wasn't surprised to see it was in fact his brother calling. He swiped the green button over to answer.
"Yes Sesshomaru?" He answered.
"I just texted you the address."
"…Okay. Did you need me for something?"
"No, I just wanted to make sure you got the text."
"Sesshomaru get the fuck off of my phone." He retorted playfully, hanging the phone up and pulling the text up on the screen. He pressed the address for google maps to show him how to get there. Once the navigation system was up, Inuyasha pulled out of the parking lot and was on his way.
"Your brother seems nice." Kagome said, breaking the silence in the car.
"Eh, yeah but he still acts like a sibling at times. Annoying."
"Well they wouldn't be your sibling if they didn't annoy you." She stated factually.
"Yeah I guess so."
The ride was short-lived since the apartment was only a few minutes from campus by car. The complex itself was a modern white rectangular building. Sesshomaru had even bought Inuyasha reserved parking in the front. Inuyasha parked his car and took the keys out. As soon as he stepped out, two men in bus boy uniforms had approached him.
"Hello, you must be Inuyasha. We've been awaiting your arrival and would love to take your things upstairs for you." One of the gentlemen said as the other pulled a large golden cart from inside.
"I am and help yourself, the bags are in the back and in the trunk." He pointed to his car as he unlocked the doors and popped the trunk open with his keyset.
The men made haste and got all of the belongings out as quickly as possible and onto the cart. They took the cart inside as Kagome and Inuyasha followed behind them. The two men took a separate elevator to the fourth floor which was their room was located. Kagome and Inuyasha took the other elevator up and met the two men at their door 4C.
They unlocked the door and handed Inuyasha both keys to the apartment. After sitting all of the belongings inside the living room, the two turned, bowed, and exited. Kagome only watched in awe until the door finally closed behind them. She turned to Inuyasha who was checking out the newly furnished place.
"I'm surprised how fast he pulled some strings…" Inuyasha said, rubbing his hand across the soft plush couch.
"Talk about service huh?" Kagome responded.
"Yeah, definitely."
Inuyasha walked towards the bedrooms and noticed the bathroom on the way there. He flicked the light on and saw the deep circular tub with jets on the inside as well as the high power shower head at the top. The shower also came with a clear glass sliding door. Inuyasha already knew he was going to love the place.
Kagome on the other hand paid no attention to the bathroom but more so to the second bedroom that was across from the bathroom. A double queen bed decorated with pink sheets and princess pillows rested in the middle of the room. The dressers and the wardrobes had been hot pink as well. There was even a wall mirror beside the brightly lit vanity on the other end of the room. There wasn't a lot of furniture but those few quality things definitely made her feel spoiled.
She had been standing in the doorway the entire time just taking in the look of the entire place when two enlarged arms wrapped around her waist from behind her and a husky voice hit her earlobe. "You're cute when you're in awe. Just wanted to tell you that."
He chuckled and quickly unwrapped his arms and walked himself into his room to get himself comfortable. Kagome put her hands on her hips and merely shook her head. The night was still young, and she saw no point in going to bed just yet but she did want another shower.
She went into the bathroom and saw a large collection of pink towels and red towels resting on the sink counter. Body washes and soaps were already on a shelf inside the shower as well. Kagome was about to shut the door when a familiar feeling hit her legs.
Biting her lip, she stepped out of the doorway and stared around the corner to see if Inuyasha was out in the hallway. When she noticed he wasn't, she skipped back into her room and grabbed her phone from the bed. Her and Shippo had exchanged numbers when they were in the car and she couldn't see a better time to text him.
Kagome: Hey! It's Kagome. I know it's weird after everything that happened but I am so in the mood right now and me and Inuyasha are alone. Should I say something and hope he doesn't take me as needy or desperate or should I just take a bit to clear my mind or something? What should I do?
She gave him a minute to text back and to her surprise, he did.
Shippo: Girl, you better go get you some. Kouga called you Inuyasha's whore anyway. Bankotsu told me. So go on and make his ass mad honey and do you. It's not your fault that Inuyasha is good at what he does.
'So I'm a whore now? Okay. Let me be one then, Kouga. '
Kagome: Thanks! I'm gonna go get some. Text u later.
She threw her phone on the dresser and went back into the bathroom across the hall. She took a look in the mirror as she dropped her shirt and bottoms. She took a long look at her body and the stretch marks across her sides and the puffiness in her thighs. Then she remembered what Shippo had mentioned to her earlier.
"Girl, your body is banging. You have to share your secrets with me so that I can be slim thick with my cute ass too." He jokingly said referencing Kagome's waist to thigh ratio.
Kagome glanced down for a moment chuckling at Shippo's comment. "Oh no. I am not slim thick or any of that. I am like so fat." She poked her small gut for emphasis, but Shippo gave her the shady side eye.
"Well, there ain't nothing wrong with being fat either and if you're what people call fat then I gotta get on your level of fat because you are the bomb dot com."
Kagome took a deep breath and forced a smile on her face until she didn't have to force it anymore. "Just be confident Kagome. It's time you started living for you….' She thought to herself.
"Inuyasha?" She called out to him.
Inuyasha had been at the door within seconds only to see Kagome dressed down in her underwear messing with her hair in the mirror.
"I know it's a lot to ask but I am so stressed from today. I know you said you would back off of me which I really do appreciate but…would you mind…helping me out?" she looked up at him into his lustful shocked eyes.
He reached forward, cupping her by the ass cheeks and brought her body to his.
"Kagome, whatever you want, just say the word and I'm yours. Now in the meantime," he picked her up, wrapping her legs around him, "let's get this housewarming party started. Just the two of us."
The two made haste into the shower. All of Kagome's troubles were gently washed away and her bothersome thoughts were soon replaced with the sweet sensation of Inuyasha's attentive hands endlessly caressing her body. Bliss and ecstasy filled the room as their cries of pleasure mixed in harmony. Only time would reveal Kagome's near future but for now, she allowed herself to revel in this moment and Inuyasha was more than happy to assist.
