I tapped my nails kinda lost in a thought or two, it's been 3 years since I started at this joint, It was a nice little club, you had your booze, women, and you had your dealers and bouncers. I ain't gonna lie and say the job isn't short of entertainment

But despite the drunks, drugs, and hoes I still felt empty, like I was needing something more, something big...something that I haven't felt or seen or hell even experienced before...there was this empty pit in my soul and no matter what I did I couldn't fill it.

My mind was distracted by this aroma, it was something I never smelt before. With a hint of mint and lavender, I looked in the direction of the scent, through the crowd of dancing and flirtatious humans.

And then I saw her, she stuck out...black lace, crimson dress, curves and hair as brown as sandalwood, but silky, she was sipping on a drink and chatting with the bartender.

I swallowed past the lump in my throat, who was she?

I continued my gaze, and then acted out of pure instinct, I got up and pushed in the stool, and gradually made my way to where she sat, slowly passing through the crowd.

But before I got to her, she was getting up and started putting on her coat, she went to say goodbye to the bartender and turned her head, our eyes meant for a few seconds but the power behind those eyes shook me to the very core...

My heart was racing at a speed I didn't know was possible, just from a glance

The shock of what was happening was so intense to me that I didn't realize she left, I looked all around and she wasn't anywhere to be seen.

An odd sad feeling took its place. " what the hell's wrong with me?" I said out loud to myself.

I shook it off and turned to head back to where I had left my jacket and smokes.

on the way back, a woman who smelled of booze came up on me, lacing her arms around my neck, " hey there handsome, wanna get out of here and have a good time?" she hiccupped.

I unhooked her arms and moved aside. " Maybe some other time"

On the way back a guard of the joint stopped me, " Hey Inu, you heading home for the night?"

"yeah my shifts are over, I'm ready to hit the sack"

" did you happen to see the new lady earlier? shes apparently gonna be coming here with her band to sing...she was sexy as all hell...lemme tell ya, if I wasn't married with two kids I'd be hitting that up"

For some odd reason, his statement annoyed me, why? I dunno it wasn't like I knew the woman, but something about it didn't sit well with me.

" What was the woman's name, do you know?" I asked

he scratched his head, "I think it started with a K, Kome, kaome,...Nah that isn't it"

I went to pick up my smokes when he blurted out " Kagome!...her name is Kagome"

"Kagome, huh?...pretty name!" I smirked * the woman had legs for days, curves, and a face carved by angles...the name suited her well*

I put my jacket on and waved, walking out the door I stopped to light up a cigarette. I exhaled a puff of smoke and found myself kinda lost in thought again, lost on the woman I barely knew and how her eyes captured mine for a mere second and almost had me crumble to my knees.

I felt something odd and looked down at my hands, my nails were extended and lethal,

I shook them " what the fucks going on?" I yelled out,

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down, when I opened them again, they were back to their original sharp length. " what's wrong with me?"

My voice was shaky.

In the 3 years that I've worked at the club, no one had ever affected me as she did...

Strippers had flung themselves all over me, and my response would be numb. But this woman made me weak just by a simple glance.

" Kagome huh? feh. We shall meet again devil woman. "

I flung my cigarette and started walking off towards the town and city lights.

On my way back to the apartment, I couldn't shake her from my mind.
