InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Choices, Choices... ❯ Revelations ( Chapter 18 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

 

Kagome had lost track of how many times he had left her in this same position, crying and alone, but she decided it wasn't worth it. She was supposed to be angry, damn it. Getting up off the floor where she had sat, she wiped her face free of tears.

 

Walking to her bathroom, she decided on a hot bath. She let the water run, went to her bedroom, undressed, and went back, sliding into the steamy water. She added some lavender chips to it, and the fragrance lifted her spirits slightly. She had turned on her stereo, and the smooth guitar and drum sounds of the jazz station calmed her as they floated in from her room. She was adamant on not letting him get to her. Soon, the water was losing its' heat and she got out, draining the tub.

 

After drying off, she found she was too lazy to get dressed and got into bed naked. She would deal with clothes tomorrow. After settling in and shutting off her bedside lamp, she turned towards the window and closed her eyes, ready to sleep. But apparently, the gods had other plans for her. The tinkling coming from her phone on her nightstand told her she had an incoming message. Her heart leapt, hoping it was Inuyasha. She scrambled for it, but was disappointed to find she didn't know the number. She opened the message.

 

`I'm sorry he's such a jerk', it read.

 

Kagome stared at it in bewilderment. Who knew about her fight with Inuyasha? She was about to ask who it was when another message came in.

 

`It's Rin, BTW. Hope u don't mind. I stole ur # from Sesshy. Inu came home all pissy, so I'm guessing things didn't go well when u found out about them?'

 

Kagome laughed. Not only did she not expect it to be Rin, but hearing anyone call Sesshoumaru by that… well, she would think it would be imperative to their health not to. She made a mental note to call him that.

 

Kagome replied quickly. Texting was as much a specialty to her as Cardiology. `No, it's fine, I don't mind. You're right, things didn't go well. I found out about them being brothers, I was mad he didn't tell me, but he found a way to be mad at me.' She sent it, and a few moments later, another message.

 

`He's like that. Anger is one of like, 3 emotions he has.'

 

Kagome laughed. `I know.'

 

`But ur ok w/ it, rite?' came the reply.

 

`Yeah, I don't care that they're brothers, I just hate that they both knew about each other and didn't tell me. I feel like I was lied to.'

 

A reply didn't come instantly, so Kagome took the time to save the number as Rin's. By the time she was done, a message was incoming. `Well, in Inu's defense, he couldn't tell u until he told u about himself. And don't 4get 2 be mad @ Sesshy, too.'

 

She had a point there. Indeed, she would let Sesshoumaru know when she talked to him next. She knew that he had meetings up the wazoo for the rest of the week and would be working hard, so she probably wouldn't hear from him until the weekend. That was fine with her. And she was going to have to forgive Inuyasha for being mad at him. But she wouldn't forgive his stupid comments.

 

`Thanks, Rin. I hope he doesn't make life too unbearable for you.'

 

`LOL Don't worry, it always is. And ur welcome. Hey, u wanna go out sometime?'

 

Kagome laughed, then thought about it. `Sure. I start a new job Sunday, so I'd like to go out before that. Where do you want to go?'

 

`IDK. I'll figure sumthin out. I'll txt u, k?'

 

`K.' Kagome laughed at her own response.

 

`LOL.'

 

`:] Good night, Rin.'

 

`Nite! ;-)'

 

Kagome smiled as she laid the phone down and drifted off to sleep.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

The rest of the week dragged by. As promised, Kouga had called her on Wednesday to set up a date, which would take place Friday night. Rin texted her on Thursday to ask when she was free, and Kagome told her Saturday. Rin told her to expect a beach day, and that they would go out to dinner after. Kagome told her it was fine.

 

She focused on her classes, and soon it was Friday. She wasn't over-excited, but she wasn't exactly dying to go out with Kouga, either. It wasn't his fault - he was great, a perfect gentleman. She knew she was still upset about her fight with Inuyasha, since it was unresolved. She hated that. If there was anything she hated, it was unfinished fights. She had never really fought with Hojo, and Sesshoumaru and Kouga never made her mad enough… it seemed the only person who could really get a rise out of her was Inuyasha. She had had fights with boyfriends before Hojo, but had been lulled into peace - and boredom - by the young, polite man. Maybe fighting with Inuyasha was good for her. Was that possible? Well, she supposed it was. But the whole unfinished business bit was eating at her. If she could fight with him and actually get somewhere, she'd feel a lot better. In the meantime, she felt empty, and she wasn't particularly fond of the feeling.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------

 

She was extremely comfortable with Kouga, and after asking where they were going, she decided on a floral sundress. They were only going to the sushi place, and then the movies. Not a big deal; no reason to over-dress. She paired it with a simply ponytail and wedge shoes that tied up her ankle and a little bit of her leg. Some lip gloss, and she was ready to go.

 

He picked her up at eight, and she was surprised to find he had a car. Well, it shouldn't have been shocking, but she always saw him running… It was a simple Accord, but it was top-of-the-line, and brand new. She admired it as she missed her Z. He noticed her slightly crestfallen appearance.

 

“Something wrong?”

 

She hadn't noticed - since she had met him outside the building - how great he looked. In a tight light blue polo that almost exactly matched his eyes and dark grey pants with black leather shoes, he looked handsome. His long-ish hair was left down, swaying gently in the breeze.

 

“No, not really. I just miss my car…” She turned up one half of her mouth in a smile.

 

“You had a car?” he wanted to know as he opened the door for her.

 

“Not really,” she said, giggling. “The company gave me a car to use while I worked there. It was only two weeks, but damn, I miss that car. I was just remembering that when I saw yours.”

 

“Oh, did you have a Honda, too?” he asked when he was back in the driver's seat.

 

“No, nothing like it. But it'll be a while before I can afford that car again. So, how come we're not walking?”

 

He smiled. “Well, this is a little better, don't you think? Plus, we can't walk to the movies, can we?”

 

Kagome laughed. “I'm sure you could run us there and back in much less time than it even takes to find a parking spot,” she said.

 

He grinned, his chest swelling with pride. “Sure could.”

 

She smiled back, and soon, he was navigating traffic. In reality, it would have been faster to walk there. But as he said, they needed it to get to the movies. He told her to put on music she liked, and she played with the radio. She was surprised to find that his stations were all preset to hip-hop stations. She turned it to a jazz station and he looked at her oddly. Shrugging, he went back to watching the road.

 

She was glad he didn't argue - she wasn't sure she could put up with any rap. She hummed along to one of her favorites as Kouga attempted to make a U-turn.

 

“God damned Friday night traffic,” he mumbled.

 

She nodded. How many times had Jason said the same thing? Even if they took the bus somewhere, it was known to all that lived here that if you wanted to go somewhere in Miami on a Friday night, you had better leave early. Of course, it didn't help that she lived near the Grove, which was a hot spot for rich people, and then, as the night wore on, for younger, much drunk-er people. Gangsters, drug-dealers, alcoholics, college students, and the rich all mingled here, with everything from bars to restaurants to little shops lining the streets. In the center of it all, the Fountain, where the dual stone steps curved upwards to the movie theater. All around, people squeezed past each other. Police were abundant, and so were the criminals.

 

Luckily, the sushi restaurant they had eaten at was outside the Grove's influence. It took twenty minutes - versus the ten it would have taken on foot - but soon they were there. Kouga had called earlier, so they didn't have to wait for a table. Kagome was uneasy with the glares the other patrons that were waiting gave them, but she followed Kouga and the hostess to a very small lacquered table. Kouga held out Kagome's seat and thanked the woman in Japanese. This was why she loved this place. They were free to be themselves - as far as their heritage went. She highly doubted Kouga was going to reveal himself as youkai. The owners and most of the staff were Japanese, and they could speak to others in their native tongue. It seemed that Kouga liked this place for that reason - he almost always spoke to her in Japanese when it was just the two of them, even on the phone.

 

They took a few minutes to decide, and the waiter came by. Kagome was extremely grateful that he didn't eye her, but either way, Kouga was very polite. They asked for tea, and then ordered their food. The man bowed to them and left.

 

“You know, you didn't have to reserve a table,” she mentioned.

 

He laughed. “I usually wouldn't. I'm not that kind of guy. Anyways, this isn't a fancy restaurant. Not like the kind I'm sure Sesshoumaru has taken you to,” he said, grinning confidently.

 

Kagome blushed. Yes, Sesshoumaru wasted no time in making sure he would have the best seats wherever he went and that everything ran smoothly. It wasn't his fault - he was the head of a string of companies, and was probably used to getting things his way. And heads rolling if her didn't.

 

Kouga took the pinking of her cheeks as an affirmative. “Yeah, he's always been that way. Only the best of the best for the great sons of the Inu no Taishou. Anyhow, I just knew it would be super busy, and we do have a movie to catch…”

 

“Um, Inu no Taishou?”

 

Kouga frowned. “Obviously those two have been bad dogs, leaving you in the dark. Well, it's not my place to tell. But I will tell you some common knowledge. He once ruled all of Western Japan, which really, was the most important job in the country.”

 

“Why?” she asked, curious.

 

“Because the West was really the only place that foreign youkai could come in from. He protected us from the mainland - China. Everyone was grateful, and they showered him with gifts and gold. That's why those two are so filthy rich. Hell, they could probably buy Japan,” he laughed humorlessly.

 

Kagome was stunned. She knew Sesshoumaru was rich, but assumed that money came from the businesses he ran. But she hadn't thought of where the money before that came from. And now that she knew about Inuyasha being his brother, what did it say about him? Inuyasha had a funky style, not really buying into designer clothes, unlike his brother. And from what she'd been told by both brothers, he didn't work for any of the companies they owned. But he must get money from them, right? Yet, he drove an old - albeit restored - car, played shows, and now he was starting his own company. Just what was he trying to prove?

 

“Kagome?”

 

“Oh, sorry. I drifted off there, huh?”

 

He smiled. “It's ok. Anyhow, in the demon world, those two are well-known. Just because of our senses, there's already talk about how the two brothers of the Dog General and the Prince of the North - that's what some of them call me, even though it's stupid, since we don't even live in Japan anymore and I don't even rule anything - are off the market. They're so damn nosy, those socialites. I bet they give Sesshoumaru hell at work,” he chuckled. Kagome just looked on, too shocked to speak. “I know there'll be black hearts breaking everywhere once Sesshoumaru settles. As a matter of fact, if you wind up going for him, you better be careful.” He looked serious now.

 

This snapped Kagome out of her stupor. Not only was she surprised by Kouga's changed demeanor - he was talking to her as if she were just a friend, and that made her much more comfortable - but this new information was startling. “What do you mean?”

 

“Well, most youkai mate for life. The thing is, royal blood is strong, and if there's no heir, the other `royals' will demand he take another mate if something should… happen… to the first mate. So whoever he picks, or if it's you, you're gonna have to watch your back. The female youkai will be in a tizzy. They'll take a crack at you every chance you get. And you'll never have privacy because the old mutt will have ten guards around you all the time.”

 

Kagome listened in horror. Then she frowned at him. “Wait, this isn't your new way of scaring me away from other guys, is it?”

 

He looked at her like she was retarded. Then he laughed. “No, Kagome. I want you to myself, but I'm not kidding around. I don't know if they would require the same thing of me… If they did, I would have a tough time keeping you safe when I'm not around. My family is pretty capable, but those hoity-toity bitches might do something dangerous. Really, Inuyasha is the only one that they really wouldn't care about.”

 

“But, you said they were talking about the brothers…”

 

“Oh, sure, they talk. But for Inuyasha, it's all about them being incredulous that he could even find a date. He's not worth the dirt they step on, as far as they're concerned. There's talk that he must be seeing another hanyou, since he wouldn't even be worth mating a human, let alone youkai.”

 

Kagome could feel her anger return from earlier that week. But now she had some understanding. It wasn't just that Inuyasha thought himself worthless, it was that everyone had always treated him that way. He was told he was less than deserving, so he believed it. Oh, man. She was going to have to apologize. If he ever talked to her again.

 

She didn't get a chance to say anything else further on the topic because the food came then, and they laughed as they tried each other's food and talked about the food in their homeland. Kagome found out that he hadn't been back to Japan in thirty years, and she admitted that she didn't remember much, having immigrated here when she was little. But she missed the shrine they used to live at.

 

“So your family was holy? That place sounds great. I actually remember Goshinboku, but I don't know what your shrine looks like. Why'd you leave?”

 

“It is beautiful, and it's still there. We still own it, but it's just sitting there. I think if I could afford to, I would love to go back to live there. It's kind of a dream of mine. Anyways, we left after my dad died,” she explained.

 

“Oh, sorry about your dad,” he said, regretting he brought it up. “Well, what about you being a doctor? I mean, you can't do both, can you?”

 

“Actually,” she said animatedly, “there's a program in Japan where they hire English-speaking doctors for tourists that speak English. They're actually in pretty high demand.”

 

“Oh, that makes sense,” he said.

 

The evening flew by, and they drank sake with their meal, loosening them up. Kouga looked at his watch and told her they had to leave to catch the movie, and she giggled about something, making him grin. She had had less sake than he had, but his youkai blood was too powerful for what he had ingested. He helped her to the car and they were off.

 

“Hey, where are we going? I thought…”

 

He looked at her dubiously. “Do you really wanna go to the movies in the Grove?”

 

She chewed on her lip. “I guess not. So then, where?”

 

“Just a little further. It'll still be crowded, but like the Grove,” he explained.

 

Another twenty minutes later, they arrived at the theater. It was packed, as he had said, but not with thugs and drunks like the Grove's sidewalks would be. Kagome was still tipsy, so Kouga led her through the crowd with an arm around her waist. He bought tickets, and they went inside. After acquiring a bottle of water for Kagome and a soda for himself, they made their way to the assigned theater and found seats near the front. They laughed together and both liked the plot of the romantic comedy, but Kagome was tired, making the point clear when she yawned shortly after they stood up to leave. He laughed and vowed to bring her home.

 

No matter how late it was, if it was a Friday or Saturday night, Miami traffic didn't lessen. Until about three, it seemed to thicken. So it took almost an hour to get back to the UM dorms. Kagome had fallen asleep after ten minutes, so he parked and carried her to the steps. She had woken up but wasn't totally coherent. He asked about getting in, and she directed him to her purse, which contained the card that allowed access. He took her keys out while he was at it, and in they went. A short elevator ride later, they were in front of her apartment.

 

“Kagome…” He tried to wake her, but she was tired, full, and still a little drunk.

 

She nuzzled into his neck and groaned, sending a shock of electricity through him that ended at his groin. He swallowed thickly. “Um, Kagome…” Damn it, he was trying to be a gentleman!

 

Concentrating, he told himself he would put her in her bed and leave, so he used the keys to open the door. He was pleased to find that he could barely smell the hanyou, and the Taiyoukai's scent was nowhere to be found. He closed the door behind him and carried her effortlessly to her bed. He dropped her purse near the nightstand and put the keys down. When he tried to put her down, however, she clung tighter. He frowned, leaning more severely, and eventually, with an `eep', her bottom fell to the bed. But she still had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. She was awake now, if anything.

 

It had startled her, so she took a few panicked breaths, her little exhaled puffs of air ghosting on Kouga's neck. He had to leave. He tried to pull away, but she wouldn't allow it.

 

“Kagome…”

 

She pulled back to look at him, and he was shocked to find her looking vulnerable. She reached up to kiss him, and he found that she was almost completely sober, which confused him.

 

He pulled away, and she pouted. “You're tired,” he told her.

 

“Please,” she begged quietly.

 

One of her hands travelled down his arm, and he knew now was his chance to leave. But her hand had found its' mark - the waistband of his pants. He looked down as she tugged on them, then at her face. She wasn't even trying to seduce him - she honestly wanted him to stay - but it was having the added effect.

 

“Er, I'll stay on the couch then,” he said, trying to turn.

 

Kagome thought it was cute how chivalrous he was trying to be. “No,” she said, emphasizing her point by tugging again.

 

He swallowed again. She pulled once more, moving her hand so that when she did it, it unbuttoned his pants. His resolve was dissolving; how could he say no to this goddess? She looked gorgeous in the moonlight that was filtering in through the window. It was a full moon, he noticed as he looked out. He felt her let go of him, and he wondered if she had changed her mind. But when he looked at her, he saw that she was untying her shoes and removing them. He could back away and leave now, if he wanted.

 

She reached under her dress and pulled her panties out, tossing them to a corner of the room.

 

Damn. He couldn't leave, not if he wanted to.

 

&&&&&& MATURE CONTENT AHEAD &&&&&&&

 

With a growl, he loomed over her, and she bit her lower lip in anticipation. It made her look innocent, but he knew she was anything but. He placed a hand on either side of her, making her lay back on her bed. But the girl wouldn't be dominated, not by him. She reached for his zipper, pulling it down. Not wasting any time, she reached in to grasp him. He hissed at the contact. He hadn't had sex since their last time, and he was horny as hell. But that didn't matter. It was the fact that it was with the beautiful woman beneath him, the only girl he wanted.

 

All thoughts fled his mind when she stroked him. “Gnnn…”

 

She smiled wickedly up at him, but it was lost on him, his eyes were squeezed shut. She teased him with firm but slow strokes.

 

“Ah… Fuck, Kagome…”

 

She laughed; Kouga didn't usually swear.

 

She made sure he didn't get too excited, though. She released him and pulled his pants down, letting his underwear go with it. She loved his powerful legs; they were thick with muscle, and knew they had to be very powerful to run like he did. She traced a finger along one of the taught muscles that ran from his sculpted hips to his knee. He shivered under her touch, and his erection jumped, eager for attention.

 

Giggling, she reached for the hem of her dress. She pulled it up, revealing herself. Her bra was the only thing she wore. He reached for her, eager to help, but she pinned him with a look that clearly told him to back off. He watched eagerly as she slowly unhooked and peeled the bra off. Then she lay back and motioned with her finger for him to approach. He crawled to her, and she enjoyed it. His eyes were hungry, and she kissed him deeply when he finally reached her face. She pulled impatiently on his shirt, and he removed it quickly. But he didn't return to her mouth. Instead, he grabbed hold of a breast before she could say something. Bending, he licked her nipple, hardening it. She squirmed under him, and he tried to still her, but she was like an animal, wild and starved.

 

He nipped at the little peak, and she gasped. He did the same to the other one, and she arched her back, begging for more with her body. He obliged and suckled on the little nub, distracting her while his other hand made its way to where she needed him. Without warning, he pushed two fingers into her, making her cry out in pleasure. When she was able to look at him again, her eyes burned with unbridled lust. He was surprised when she pulled him to her mouth, kissing him passionately. She mewled and whimpered as he worked his fingers in and out of her, and she clawed at his shoulders and back. He finally stopped his torture and returned his mouth to her breast, nipping and licking. As she squirmed, she found his cock, throbbing and ready. She stroked him a few times and he grunted. He pulled away from her, knowing the slightest touches from her would make him come. She frowned at him.

 

He was at the foot end of the bed, and he crawled to her again. But this time, he stopped at the smooth area that was slick from his ministrations. Bending, he licked at her folds before pushing his tongue in deeper. She cried out, weaving her fingers into his hair, pulling. He suckled her clit, and she clenched her fingers in his hair, causing him to laugh. The vibrations from his mouth made her shiver, but she loosened her hold. Giving her one last lick, she climbed up her lithe frame until he was positioned. His erection bobbed in anticipation as he stared into her hooded eyes. She bit her lip again, and he reached down to take her lip in his. She enjoyed tasting herself on him, and she kissed him greedily. Wrapping her legs around his hips, she anticipated the next few moments.

 

He broke the kiss to watch her face and pushed in slowly, enjoying the feel of that first entry. But his plan backfired, because it felt so good he had to shut his own eyes tightly and grit his teeth. She groaned at the feeling of him filling her and again clawed at his back, trying to force him further in. She couldn't get enough - no matter how deep he was, it wasn't enough. When he was deeply seated, he pulled out, but his next thrust was quick, making her gasp. He liked the sound, so he did it again; a slow retreat and a fast thrust. He savored the moment. He watched her face as he quickened his pace, trying to make her come. Her breasts bobbed temptingly, and he bent to take a nipple in his mouth, biting down.

“Yes!” she cried, and he smiled to himself.

 

With a few more thrusts and some suckling, she began to clench her legs around him tighter, and he knew she was close. And then she arched her back, pushing her breast into his face, and she cried out to the gods. More than pleased with himself, he ravaged her body for a few more seconds, finally letting himself loose. With a final grunt, he let go, and his orgasm was intense. Panting, they relaxed, Kouga still on top of her, his weight now fully on her. She took longer to catch her breath, being human, so when he had regained use of his lungs, he rolled to his side so as not to hinder her breathing process further. He was big enough that he was still inside her, despite the fact that he wasn't on her anymore, but he was growing softer, and he didn't want to make a mess. He slipped out and jumped up quickly, going into her bathroom. He didn't need any light, so he found what he needed quickly without turning on the bathroom light. Kagome heard the water run for a few moments and then he was there, cleaning her off. He was thorough enough that it aroused her again, and he smelled it. He chuckled and she giggled tiredly. When she was clean, he went back to the bathroom, cleaned himself up a little better, and returned to her.

 

&&&&&&& END MATURE CONTENT &&&&&&&&

 

She had squirmed her way under the blankets and was close to sleep, he could tell. He slipped in beside her and since she was on her side facing away, pulled her into his body. She groaned comfortably and he nuzzled her neck as she drifted off. He stayed awake for a little bit, marveling at the woman whose bed he was sharing. But eventually he was so comfortable and content that he fell asleep as well.

 

--------------END CHAPTER------------------

 

E/N: Damn it! These chapters are misbehaving! It's been an all-out rumble over here. I told the chapter it was wrong, it said it was fine, harsh words were exchanged, things were thrown, cops were called. In the end, the chapter got its' way. I WAS going to tell you guys that I'm going to be posting slightly shorter chapters for my own sake form now on, but that didn't happen. The lemon INSISTED on being written into this particular chapter (I hope that makes up for the wait) and if that wasn't enough, Rin and Kagome's date wanted to be put in, too! And really, I wanted to, but that would make the chapter impossibly long, and I would have pulled my hair out trying to post it at dA.

Lucky bitch. Kagome has all these available, well-endowed men at her disposal. I hope she appreciates what I'm doing for her. *grumbles*
