InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Care to Make a Bet ❯ Round Two DING! ( Chapter 2 )

Care to Make a Bet

A.N. I just want to say…THANK YOU! This is the most reviews I have gotten on a story in such a short period of time. So THANK YOU! I will announce at the end of the third installment whether this will be continued further or not.

FayeMegan: I have not really decided how she got it…that may be something to consider. Although I do know that she is paying off a debt her parents accumulated, which I think I stated in the last chapter. But I am still pondering the details of her debt. And yes, the book is rather awesome!

Dani: I'm with you!

Ameire: I actually hadn't given any thought to her age….and I don't really want to pin it down, but she's in her early 20s. And look up for the debt question. And I don't mind answering questions. XD

Sara: Enchanted by Nancy Madore

iheartanime43: I do too…no man is THAT nice….they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 2: Round Two DING!

He smirked, wasting no time in claiming her lips with his. She tore her lips from his and began her struggles anew, but he would expect no less from a being of her caliber. He smiled gently when she began beating on his chest, understanding her frustration. After all, he knew how annoying it was to lose. His lips once again found hers and he continued to kiss her gently until her struggles slowly ceased.

Determined to keep her dignity, Kagome tried to distance herself from this man who seemed to know how to activate every nerve in her body. But all too soon, she found herself giving in to the attention he was lavishing her with. She turned in his arms so she was straddling him and deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. He only reveled in her surrender for a moment. He wanted more than a weekend of her company. It was time to put phase two of his plan into action. He pulled back gently from her, disentangling her arms from his neck.

“I tire of this room,” he said icily, standing and pulling her to her feet. “You will follow me.”

He ignored her confused and slightly hurt look and headed out. She bent to reach for her teddy and for a moment he debated on stopping her, but he didn't. It would not do if someone else were to see her delicious body. When she was sufficiently covered, he motioned for her to follow him out. He paused a few feet down the hall, pretending to ponder something for a moment before turning to face her. “You will service me here.”

“Excuse me?”

“I said, you will service me here. I do not feel like waiting. On your knees, please.”

“In your dreams!”

“Are you refusing to keep your promise?” He smirked, knowing her pride would prevent her from saying no. As he suspected, her eyes lowered in shame.

“I'll keep my promise, but not here.”

“You agreed to be mine. That means for the rest of the weekend, I get to take you wherever I want, however I want.”

“Please, I'll do anything you want, just not here.”

Here is my chance, he thought as he debated on the best way to approach the situation. Finally, he sighed. “Unless you wish to have a rematch, then you have no choice in the matter.”

“A rematch?”

He had to restrain a smirk at the way her head shot up at that. So he'd gotten her attention. “No, I do not think so. I have already gotten what I want. Why should I risk losing what I already have?”

“But we could go double or nothing!”

“No, I do not think so. Why should I wager two weekends against the one I already have? Now, if you please.”

“Wait,” Kagome said softly, eyes downcast as she was forced to make her situation even worse. “What would it take for you to reconsider?”

He rubbed his chin, pretending to weigh his options. He already knew he was going to accept her challenge, as well as what the stakes would be. “I might consider it if……”

“Yes,”

“If I win, you will be mine. Forever.”

“Wait, let me get this straight. You want me to bid a weekend of servitude, against a lifetime?”

“Not a servant, a mate.”

“Like there's a difference,” she scoffed, crossing her arms and backing away from him. “In fact, I'd be in a worse position than I am now.”

“I can assure you, as my mate, you would be taken care of.”

“Why should I trust you? I'm a human. I know what happens to girls who give themselves to demons. I refuse to be someone's toy!”

“A mate is to be cherished, not controlled. But I appreciate that you accept that you would be the loser.”

“As if! You are so full of it! You only won because you cheated!”

“Did I?”

“You can't prove that was for you.” She sighed at his frown, amazed that he hadn't caught her drift. “I work in a strip club. How do you know that wasn't from my previous client?”

“I do not think so. In fact, I would guess that I am the only person who has seen you this way.”

“That is beside the point! If you really induced pleasure in me, you should have been able to make me voice my desire for you.”

“Are these your new terms?” He smirked, silently rejoicing in her lack of denial to his previous statement. She looked at him in confusion, so he explained. “If I can make you voice your desire, you will be mine and if not, you will be mine for just the weekend.”

“Those terms are not fair and you know it!”

“That may be, but I am the reigning winner. The terms are mine to set.”

She crossed her arms and glared at him. She had no intention of granting him more than he'd already won. “Let's get this weekend over with.”

“On your knees then,” he said sternly, pushing down gently on her shoulders.

Kagome closed her eyes, mentally preparing herself. She knelt in front of him, trying to keep from crying. At his command, she reached to undo his belt, forcibly calming herself as she did. He groaned as her small hand wrapped around him. Her movements slow and unsure, which caused him to smile. He would enjoy teaching her how to please him. A noise down the hall caused her to stop.

“There's someone coming,” she said, trying to pull away from him.

“I am well aware of this. Please continue.” He pulled her back into position, urging her head forward.

The noise grew louder and Kagome gasped as she realized it was Hojo who was approaching them. “But he'll see me!”

“That is not important.” Her face slowly drained of color, but he couldn't stop now. He was so close. Soon she would relent and they could end all this nonsense. He was surprised she had lasted this long, but this was the end. Her pride would not allow her to let anyone see her in this position. Not that he had any intention of letting that disgusting idiot see her this way.

“Now, if you please.” He struggled to keep his face blank. Tears were flowing freely from her distraught eyes. He wanted nothing more than to pull her into his arms and whisk her away to safety, but that would have to wait for later.

“I said continue, wench!” He once again pulled her towards him and her face grew even paler, if that was possible. Take the bet, he silently implored her. Cease your torment and mine as well.

Hojo was almost upon them, another minute and he would be within sight. Hearing him draw near, Kagome lost the battle within herself. Her body slumped as she dropped her gaze to the floor. “I accept the new terms.”

A.N. Ok, I know that wasn't as long, and I still have more to type. But I have to get some sleep…I've been rather deprived of it lately. So I thought I would post this since the story got so much attention.
