Chapter 14- Trouble at the Club

Kagome suppressed a giggle. She could just imagine Inuyasha amongst all the other young adults dancing in the flashy dance club called Atsui Shimi. Inuyasha's impatient growl broke her of her amusing thoughts.

“Well?!”

“Atsui Shimy is a dance club, Inuyasha. Young adults got there to hang out, eat, drink, and dance.”

Inuyasha looked skeptical. “Dance?”

Kagome nodded vigorously.

Inuyasha leaned up against the wall. “You humans have the most bizarre lives. You would never catch me doing something so foolish!” He crossed his arms, signaling a note of finality.

Kagome's head drooped slightly. Inuyasha noticed and immediately regretted his brash outburst.

“But, I said we would go, so we will be there.” He told her more softly this time.

A small smile formed on Kagome's face. Inuyasha could be brash and hot tempered, but he always tried to make up for it somehow.

She happened to glance at the clock. It read 7:00. She gasped they had to be there in an hour!

“Come on we have to get ready.” And with that she dashed upstairs in record speed, Inuyasha loping after her.

Kagome riffled through her closets, trying to find a suitable outfit for the club. Finally she decided, after grabbing the clothes she dashed into the bathroom but not before telling Inuyasha that his clothes were in the dresser.

This time he knew what to do. After shedding his present clothes Inuyasha proceeded to put on the outfit. After getting dressed he sat down to once again wait for Kagome. When she finally emerged a half an hour later, he was speechless to say the least.

Kagome wore a black, ruffled mini skirt that showed a lot of leg, but not in a slutty way, a silky red halter top that showed a small amount of cleavage, and black high heels. She had her hair curled at the ends. Her makeup was done up with deep red eye shadow, black mascara and a little eyeliner. Her lips were glistening with shiny gloss, and her cheeks were pinched pink. She wore a silver chain with the letter K on the end.

Inuyasha swept her up in his arms and twirled her around. After dipping her low, his nose found its way to the crook of her neck. That smell, it was so enthralling! He could not get enough of that wonderful scent!

Kagome giggled. “I take it you like my perfume.”

Inuyasha was busy sniffing her, but he managed to raise his head.

“Perfume?” He said questioningly.

“Girls put on a type of spray to make them smell good. They have cologne for guys as well. My perfume is called Ralph Lauren Hot.”

Inuyasha nipped her neck affectionately. “Well you look hot that's for sure.” He purred.

Kagome took this chance to look him over. He wore a white dress shirt with elegant silver stripes going down it, dark black jeans, and black dress shoes. The shirt complimented his silver hair, and the pants really made his amber eyes stand out brilliantly! A black head scarf covered his ears, and somehow made him look all the hotter.

Kagome whistled. “I like your outfit too. You clean up pretty good.”

Inuyasha smiled, before taking her hand.

“You too Kagome. You too.”

They walked hand in hand out of the house. After riding the bus, (Inuyasha tried not to kill it this time), they arrived at an enormous building with a bright neon sign that said Atsui Shimi. A huge line of people were waiting to get in. A vast bouncer was standing by the entrance letting people through the red velvet rope, and stopping anyone he thought was trying to weasel their way in.

“Kagome! Hey! Kagome!” A voice called out.

Inuyasha and Kagome turned towards the voice. They saw Ayumi standing in line amongst the other people. Kagome dashed over to her friend.

“Ayumi! How are you?” Kagome asked, while giving her friend a hug.

Ayumi hugged back. “I'm fine, and so glad that you are feeling better. I have not seen you in such a long time. I missed you Kagome!”

“Me too! There is so much to catch up on!” Kagome exclaimed.

Ayumi scanned Kagome's outfit. “Wow Kagome! You look so beautiful! I love the outfit!”

Kagome blushed at the compliment. “Thanks Ayumi. And look at you! You look gorgeous!”

Ayumi had matured greatly over the years, being the most mature one of the group, not counting Kagome. Her face had lost that complete innocent look. Her cheek bones were a little more prominent on her face. Her dark eyes sparkled merrily. She was wearing a yellow, sparkly tank top and white gaucho pants. She wore cute yellow flip flops with heels. Her hair had grown more over the years and went down past her shoulders; it was in pretty waves with a half pony tail. Her makeup was done very simple with brown mascara and light yellow shadow. Her lips were a natural beautiful red.

Inuyasha stood there observing Kagome and her friend.

“Oh I almost forgot! Inuyasha you remember Ayumi? Ayumi, this is Inuyasha my boyfriend.” Kagome said, introducing the two.

“It's nice to meet you Inuyasha.” Ayumi said politely, while grasping Inuyasha's hand in a firm shake.

Inuyasha was a little confused with the gesture, but after a meaningful glance from Kagome, he shook her hand.

“You too Ayumi.” Inuyasha replied. Kagome smiled, so he knew he had done well. He had a good feeling about Ayumi. Inuyasha was an excellent judge of character, and he could tell that she was a genially nice person.

After waiting their turn in line, the three finally made it up to the entrance. The bouncer stood waiting, his bulging arms crossed over his massive chest. He had so much muscle that you could see it straining against his black shirt. He squinted down at them.

“You got something for me?” His voice boomed deeply.

“Oh yes!” Ayumi cried with a sudden realization. She dug through her purse for a moment before pulling out three laminated passes. The bouncer checked them before waving them through the entrance.

“Wow Ayumi, you got us VIP passes!? How did you manage that?!” Kagome exclaimed excitedly.

“Eri knows a friend who is close with the owner, and was able to pull some strings and get us these passes.” Ayumi explained to Kagome.

Kagome smiled, clearly thrilled to be at one of the hottest clubs in Tokyo, while Inuyasha just followed along in her wake, looking around curiously, his ears twitching under his bandana at all of the new and unfamiliar sounds.

They walked through the hallway and came out into a large room that was flashing with black and strobe colored lights. Speakers were placed around the room, all of the blasting music so loud, that Inuyasha clasped his hands over his already covered ears, as if to further block the noise from damaging his sensitive ears. A million different smells hit his nose at once. Sweat, alcohol, and lots of that perfume stuff Kagome had told him about. Gods this place smelled like a wolf's den when they are in heat! Inuyasha wrinkled his nose at the bombardment of scents all clogging his nose. Suddenly he felt a comforting hand on his arm. He turned, and Kagome was there smiling reassuringly at him.

“I know this seems a little overwhelming, but just relax. You will get used to it.”

Inuyasha's lips turned upward into the smallest smile. Kagome gave his hand a small squeeze, as if to further comfort him.

“Just be yourself. Except, you know don't kill anyone. Ok?” Kagome told him.

His eyes narrowed at her, but she just held a teasing grin on her face. He returned the squeeze she gave him with his own, as if to tell her he would try to behave himself, but with a little more restraint.

Kagome's eyes scanned the clubs interior. There was a huge flat tiled area that was set up for dancing. There were platforms scattered throughout the floor, in case anyone felt like dancing for a crowd. There was a stage at the front of the floor. A brand new, state of the art stereo system was set up. A DJ was behind, looking through his endless supply of music.

There was a banister that separated the dance floor from the bar. A long table with stools sat along the back. There were also quaint rod iron tables throughout the bar area. Kagome's eyes swept further along and spotted a lounge area. Sleek leather couches were set up in the nook. There were also some comfortable looking loveseats. She could not see the rest, but it looked like the club went further back, probably to a game room. There also looked like there was an upstairs, but for what purposes, Kagome did not know.

“Kagome?”

Her head shot up at the mention of her name. Inuyasha was staring at her.

“Ayumi said the others are waiting for us.”

“Oh, right. Well let's go!” Kagome exclaimed. She followed Ayumi, while Inuyasha looked at her, a trace of concern laced in his eyes, before trailing after her.

They made their way towards the bar side of the room, weaving in and out of the dancers who were grinding to the music. A body brushed up against Inuyasha, and he bounced back in alarm. It was a girl with long black hair, way too much makeup, dressed in a slutty white tube top, a too short skirt, and white hooker boots.

“Hey sexy!” She slurred to Inuyasha, obviously very drunk.

Inuyasha's nose wrinkled in disgust at her beer breath. She was way too close for his liking!!

Why don't you come with me and we can have some real fun?” She said seductively to him, practically throwing herself on him.

Inuyasha's eyes widened in further alarm. He was about to let some snide remark out, when an arm came down on his shoulder. He looked up. It was Kagome.

She gave the drunken slut her own look of disdain. “Come on Inuyasha. Let's go get some drinks.” She told him.

To Inuyasha's great pleasure, the skank's smile dropped. “Oh, you didn't tell me you already had someone. Well I bet she can't give you as good of time as I can!”

At this remark, Kagome's eyes narrowed to small slits. “And how would you know if I can or not? You have probably been with so many drunken guys; you don't even know what a good time is. All you know is that you will be flashing yourself to some wasted idiot, who probably won't even remember your name in the morning.”

Inuyasha's jaw dropped at Kagome's outrageous speech. Meanwhile the ho just scowled before stomping off in a tissy fit. Kagome just smirked in satisfaction. Inuyasha turned to her in fascination, his mouth still agape.

“Inuyasha's your going to catch flies if you keep doing that.”

The hanyou closed his mouth with a snap.

“Wow, Kagome I didn't know you had it in you.” Inuyasha said to her, clearly impressed by her actions towards the slut.

Kagome just smiled, and slipped her hand in Inuyasha's before continuing their walk to the bar.

Inuyasha smiled as he mused to himself about the girl. Dam, I'm so glad she's mine! She brings so much meaning to my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She sure stands out that's for sure!!

“Inuyasha. Inuyasha? Hello? Anyone home?” Kagome waved her hand in front of his face.

The half demon snapped out of his thoughts. They were at a table in the bar. A small blush formed on his cheeks as he saw everyone staring at him.

“Inuyasha, you remember Yuka and Eri?” Kagome directed to him, gesturing at her two other friends.

Amber eyes swept over the two girls. Eri's eyes seemed to have taken a golden hue to them. She wore an elegant black, long sleeved top, a yellow skirt that went to her knees, and black ballet flats. Her hair style had not changed much, it was still quite short, not even touching her shoulders, but she no longer wore the childish yellow head band. Instead her bangs were held out of her face by glittering hair clips.

Yuka on the other hand had let her pixy hair grow longer. Now it reached her shoulders in layers. But tonight she had it swept back in a classy, low pony tail. She wore an indigo tube top, with magenta straps protruding from underneath, in case the blouse were to `accidently' slip. Her legs were clad in tight black pants, and on her feet were blue high heels that showed a little toe.

It was then that Inuyasha caught caught site of a third form sitting at the table. He visibly stiffened as he caught whose scent it was. It was that boy. That Hoho or Hobo or whatever the hell his name is! Unknown to everyone else who could not read his emotions, Inuyasha was seething on the inside. His basic male instinct told him that this human was challenging what was his. If Kagome had not given him a pointed poke to the ribs, he might let Hojo know who he was dealing with!

It was then that the boy stood up. He had defiantly grown taller! He was only an inch or two shorter then Inuyasha! He lost the boyish bowl hair cut, and let his hair grow a little wilder. It now went down a little passed his ears. But height was not all that had grown on Hojo. He had lost his scrawny arms and gained some visible muscles! He wore a black muscle shirt and dark baggy jeans. Black shoes donned his feet. Hmp! He is still no match for me! Heck even the wimp wolf could take this guy down! Inuyasha was having fun fantasizing himself stomp on Hojo and taunt him on how much weaker than him he was.

“Hojo! It's so good to see you again!” Kagome cried, while embracing Hojo.

Oh hell no!!! She did not just do that!!! Inuyasha's eyes followed Kagome as she hugged Hojo. His eyes met Hojo's and he hardened them into a glare.

You better back the fuck off runt!! Inuyasha wanted nothing more than to tell Hojo to back off, but he decided to stick with glaring at him instead.

When Hojo returned Kagome's hug, Inuyasha nearly lost his cool. Before he could go over there and rip Kagome from his arms, and then decapitate Hojo, Kagome broke the embrace and was at his side once again. She grabbed his hand causing all thoughts of slaughtering Hojo to dissipate.

“Hojo, I would like you to meet my boyfriend Inuyasha.” Kagome said, introducing the two formally.

Hojo stepped up and held out his hand for Inuyasha to shake. “Inuyasha, it's great to finally meet you.” Hojo said, very gentleman like.

Inuyasha grasped his hand, and tried not to crush it. Tried being the key word. He did succeed in making Hojo wince uncomfortably and that was good enough for him!

“You to Hojo.” Inuyasha replied as politely as it was possible for someone like him.

“Hey how about I order us all some drinks?” Ayumi suggested to the group. They all nodded and murmured that that sounded like a good idea.

Ayumi ordered a diet coke for herself. Yuki chose orange crush, Eri an iced tea, Kagome ordered herself and Inuyasha virgin strawberry dackeries, and Hojo ordered a beer- he was twenty- one now and could have alcohol. The group got their drinks and sat down at a table.

Inuyasha took a sip of the pink, frothy stuff. Mmmmm! It was the best thing he had had since ramen! It had a really sweet taste as well as something else, but Inuyasha couldn't decipher the taste. All he knew was that the stuff was good, and began slurping it down quickly, making loud slurping sounds with the straw.

Kagome stopped sipping her drink to look at him. He was slurping away and did not notice her until she cleared her throat. He stopped and turned to her, the straw hanging out of his mouth, a few drips of the pink drink plopped onto the table.

“What?” He had that clueless look on his face like he had no idea that what he was doing was considered bad manners; after all he is from five hundred years in the past.

“Could you try to control yourself just a little?” Kagome asked him.

Inuyasha just fehed. “Hey it's not my fault! This stuff is really good! Can I have some more?”

Kagome sighed. “Ok. But only one more! After that I'm cutting you off!” She went to the counter to order another, while Inuyasha continued to slurp his drink.

By the time Kagome had returned, Inuyasha had finished his drink, and dove into the next one eagerly. Kagome just shook her head, and sipped her drink. She had not even finished her first drink, and he was already half way through his second! Oh well at least he found something he likes.

“Kagome. Hiccup. These are reeeealy good! You should hiccup get another one!”

Kagome slowly turned to Inuyasha. He was swaying slightly and his eyes held a dazed look.

They wouldn't! Kagome thought to herself.

She leaned in and sniffed Inuyasha's drink, before taking a small sip. She slapped her hand to her forehead in disbelief confirming her suspicions.

Inuyasha's drink was not a virgin. It had alcohol in it. The bartender had obviously thought Inuyasha looked old enough to drink and had made an alcoholic drink instead. Not that Kagome completely blamed the man, after all Inuyasha being a half demon, it made him look older to humans. Despite the situation Kagome giggled to herself. Little did they know that Inuyasha really was older, technically he was around seventy or so, counting the fifty years he was pinned to the tree, plus the age he looked. When Kagome had met him, he looked about seventeen or so. Four years later, that would put him around twenty one or so in human years.

“Kagome?” She turned, and was surprised to see Hojo standing there.

“Oh Hojo, I did not see you standing there.” Kagome said a polite smile on her face.

Hojo took a look at the tipsy Inuyasha before turning back to Kagome.

“Listen Kagome, I know you have a boyfriend, but I have not seen you in such a long time, and I was wondering if you wanted to dance? Just as friends of course!” Hojo stood there, waiting for Kagome's answer.

Kagome had a startled look on her face. She had not expected Hojo to ask her that. She looked from Hojo's hopeful face to Inuyasha's dazed one.

“Well…

“I promise Kagome, it would just be as friends, nothing more!” Hojo reassured her.

“Ok Hojo.” Kagome complied.

Hojo's smile brightened and he lead her down to the dance floor. Inuyasha barley noticed them leave his eyes were bleary and glazed over.

Kagome's heart thudded nervously as Hojo wrapped his arms very low around her waist. He began to bump and sway to the music, Kagome dancing half heartedly along with him. Suddenly the music began to slow, and the lights dimmed. People all around began pairing up and slow dancing.

Hojo drew Kagome closer to him. Kagome visibly sweat dropped. How could she get away from Hojo without seeming rude? Before she could think of what to say Hojo pulled her closer so that her head was forced to rest against his shoulder.

“Oh Kagome, I'm so glad that we are able to catch up. I haven't seen you in so long. I really missed you.”

Kagome picked her head up from Hojo's shoulder and glanced into his eyes, a small blush formed on her cheeks. She pulled away from Hojo's embrace.

“Listen Hojo, I'm very flattered, but I have a boyfriend now. Thank you for the dance.” She started to step away, Hojo's arms still draped limply on her waist.

Hojo's perky smile fell into a frown. “Oh. You mean Inuyasha?” Kagome nodded.

“I'm sorry Hojo. I know there is someone out there for you. I'm sure you will find her someday.” Kagome said, trying to console him.

Hojo's smile hardened and his grip on Kagome's waist tightened significantly. “No.” He told her in a dead quite voice, sounding unfamiliar for his usually chipper tone. Kagome's eyes widened in shock.

“I chased you around for years, always being the gentlemen. I visited you every single time you were sick, always bearing gifts. I dropped hints, but you always turned me down.” His eyes hardened to a shadowy glint.

“Well now I'm not taking no for an answer.” His hand enclosed around Kagome's wrist. At first Kagome had been shocked at Hojo's sudden outburst, but now she was fuming. She turned her fiery glare on Hojo, and attempted to wrench her hand out of his grasp. But to no avail. To further her rage, Hojo smiled cockily.

“Now now Kagome. We mustn't be coy. Come with me and you and I can get to know each other a little better.”

And to Kagome's further annoyance, he began to lead her through the crowd of people. When she caught site of where they were headed, her lips pursed and her eyes narrowed. She took a breath and gathered all of her courage and stopped abruptly.

Hojo looked at her stubborn face, his eyes taking on a look of dark amusement. He began to forcefully push her through the crowd, and try as she might she could not escape.

“Oi! Hello in there!! HEY!”

Inuyasha's vision cleared and he awoke from his stupor to Ayumi snapping her fingers in his face.

“Uhhh. I'm never drinking again. I feel like Kagome sat me a thousand times.” Ayumi was staring at him with a disturbed look on her face.

“Uhh I mean, oh never mind!” Inuyasha growled as he put a hand to his forehead.

“Have you seen Kagome?” He asked Ayumi.

“Yea, Hojo took her out on the dance floor a while ago.” Ayumi answered him.

“WHAT?!!” Inuyasha jumped up, toppling his chair over and causing many people to stare at him.

“Yea, he was dancing with Kagome, and then they went somewhere, I'm not sure where.”

Inuyasha's eyes darkened to a lethal gaze. His hands balled into fists and he growled menacingly. He tilted his head and began to sniff the air, trying to catch Kagome's scent. Dam it was hard with all the stinking people in the room!

Inuyasha growled lowly to himself, his fangs glinting pearly white in the disco light.

Inuyasha was going human hunting! And Hojo was a dead man!!!

 

Oh no what's going to happen to Kagome? And what about Hojo?! Can he withstand the wrath of an enraged half demon? Stay tuned and see!
