“You have friends Inuyasha! Sango, Miroku, me. We care about you for who you are. We wouldn't have you any other way.” Hoping she had said the right things she stepped out of the car and into the night air. Her heart was heavy and she would understand if he didn't want to see her anymore.

Something warm fell over her shoulders, Inuyasha's leather jacket. She felt this arms around her. “I really didn't mean to break his nose…”

She smiled warmly, her breath coming out in white puffs. “Yeah, I know.”

Inuyasha growled as he mopped the corner of the bar. Meanwhile Kagome and Sango were cleaning as well. Miroku had suddenly thought it was a perfect time to clean the place. “Cheer up Inuyasha,” piped Kagome's voice form behind him. He turned around, the sight of her warm smile cheering him up instantaneously. “Miroku wants this place in good condition for our guest tonight is all.” The hanyou's face turned grim.

“Yeah…I'm going to have fun tonight…” he said remembering what Kagome's job was for the evening. “If you don't want to do this you don't have to Kagome. If the lech doesn't understand, I'm sure I can make him agree.” Kagome heaved a sigh and rolled her chocolate hues.

“Inuyasha, thank you for the effort but don't worry. No rich youkai can whisk me away from you,” she joked tossing a length of raven-hair over her shoulder. He smirked, dropping his mop and pulling her against his muscle-toned chest. The hanyou planted a light chaste kiss on her lips. Kagome smiled as she pulled away remembering their last kiss. It had been only the night before when she had gladly agreed to date him.

“Hey, get back to work you two! We only have an hour to finish!” came the voice of Sango who was standing to the side. She had her hands on her hips and a playful smile gracing her face. Kagome laughed and got back to work, leaving Inuyasha to reluctantly finish mopping.

“What is the history between them?” the miko asked her friend again as she changed into her clothes for the club. Sango sighed helping Kagome fix her make-up.

“As far as I have heard Miroku talk about, Kouga and Inuyasha knew each other a long time ago.”

“And…?” Kagome begged trying to pry information.

Sango sighed again, “That's it.” Both girls knew that was a lie right away. After a staring contest she gave in. “Kouga and Inuyasha were best friends until Kikyou came between them. The two fought over her for almost a year until the tramp chose Inuyasha. They have literally been trying to kill each other since.” Kagome squirmed at the mention of Kikyou's name. She felt suddenly uncomfortable. “Well, it's time. Get out there and milk the money!”

“Sango!”

“You know I am joking! Just be a good date. A few hours and he is gone.”

The wolf youkai looked around the dimly lit Club Copa. He grinned, groping a waitress as she walked by. The girl let out a yelp but said nothing as she continued on her rounds. Kouga wore a dark suit of fine cloth. He gazed at the other club-goers as if they were lowly filth. His grin grew into a smirk as Miroku approached him with a beautiful young human at his side.

“Kouga! Welcome to Club Copa. May I introduce your escort for the night, Higurashi Kagome.” The young girl stepped forward.

“Please to meet you Kouga,” she said, dazzling him with one of her smiles. Apparently he seemed please because his face now held a dumb smile. Miroku led him to his table and left, praying Kagome would please him.

“So Kagome was it?” he said eyeing the way her clothes fit tightly to her curves. She nodded.

“Yes. It is pleasure to be your escort,” the girl said reciting lines. He frowned for a moment. This human may prove nothing more than a trained puppy and something about her scent wasn't right with him. The youkai chose to ignore it.

“Forget formal. Why don't we dance?” His voice let her know it was a command more than an invitation. She stood up and allowed him to lead her through the crowd to an open space. She was nervous as a song began to boom over the speakers. “Come on, I don't bite much.” She took the hint and began to dance along with him. For someone in a suit he was a great dancer, but Kagome preferred the unsure moves of the hanyou.

She breathed heavily wanting to take a break, but refusing to say so. With each new song she begged for him to quit but the wolf youkai continued to dance…and order drinks as he did so. By the fifth song he was mildly drunk, and by the seventh he was sickeningly so. Kouga grinned stupidly as a slow song played. He pulled Kagome without warning against him and began dancing.

The youkai's hot breath blew into her face, thick with the smell of beer. She felt dizzy as her stomach did flips. “Come on baby, you can dance better,” he breathed into her ear. Suddenly Kagome became scared. She was slow dancing with a drunken demon in the middle of a crowded floor. `Inuyasha…how much longer do I have to do this?'

“Stop pouting!” Sango commanded. “Kouga wants another special martini and you are the only one who knows how to make them his way.” Inuyasha growled and then looked at her seriously.

“How many has he had?” The hanyou said filling someone's order.

Sango's eyes widened a little. “Oh my kami! He is drunk and out there on the floor with poor Kagome somewhere!” Inuyasha growled leaping the bar easily and disappearing into the crowd. Sango bit her lower lip. `Please don't do anything rash Inuyasha…'

Kouga tightened his grip on the miko making her gasp. “Kouga, please…”

“Please what?” he said, his speech slurred. He was about to say something else but was jerked back by a clawed hand.

“Get away form her!” the hanyou roared tossing the wolf youkai who staggered back. He caught his balance and glared at Inuyasha for a moment and then a smirk formed on his face.

“What do you want Half breed? Come to steal my woman again?” He said pulling Kagome against him. Inuyasha ground his teeth, a menacing growl erupting from his throat.

“Let her go Kouga.” He ordered. Kouga didn't move. “Have it your way!” he yelled, “at least I'll take care of you this time!” He lunged at Kouga, sure to miss Kagome as his claws dug into the wolf's shoulder.

With a snarl the youkai threw Kagome to ground and made a swipe at Inuyasha. Narrowly missing he made another attempt, cursing at himself for drinking so much. Who knew the half-breed would show up to take his woman? “Is that the best you got Inuyasha?” he taunted. How dare that runt mess with him?

Inuyasha looked at Kagome to make sure she was okay. The miko had crawled to the side and was watching from the side. Her eyes were filled with horror and her normally intoxicating scent spiked with fear. He had made a mistake to look away from Kouga. The wolf's claws sliced through his clothes creating a deep wound. He ignored the blood spilling from the cut as he made another advance.

This time Kouga was ready, meeting the hanyou headfirst. The miko squeezed her eyes shut. `Inuyasha…you'll be okay…' she prayed silently. Then her eyes shot open, a blood curdling yelp sounding through the club as a gun was fired. She felt to her knees in anguish. “INUYASHA!”
