InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cold Fire ❯ Stay away ( Chapter 7 )

Stay away

 

Kagome came down to breakfast groggily. She barely got any sleep due to Inuyasha visiting her in the night. The kiss her had left her with and the way he told her he wanted her made her unable to sleep—not a wink! She didn't even go riding as she usually did. She sat down at the long table with a plop and stared at the empty plate in front of her. She motioned for the butler to come to her.

“ What will you have Ms. Higurashi?”

“ What do you have?”

“ What you want to eat.”

“ Which is?”

“ Whatever you want.”

Kagome was getting frustrated. Things were not going her way and it was pissing her off.

“ I swear to God if you don't tell me what is there to eat, imma knock you out. Now stop being so fucking annoying and tell me what the fuck you have back there!”

“ Kagome!!! Watch your language around Sota.” Her mother screeched at here from her end of the table.

“ Shhh. I don't want to hear your mouth right now, it's frigging annoying.”

The butler, sensing what was unfolding scuttled away. Now Kagome was pissed, she hadn't placed an order. She looked at her mother with a nonchalant expression, “ What is your problem. No really, just tell me.”

“ Excuse me?”

“ Your problem. What is it?”

“ For one, your use of obscene language around your younger brother.”

“ That's it?” Kagome's voice was eerily calm

“ Umm, I guess.”

“ Nah, it can't be that. You hate me don't you?”

There was a silence, even Sota had stopped eating and was now interested in the conversation unfurling.

“ Kagome…”

“ Well, Mom, mommy, mama. Tell me the truth.” She stressed the words that she never used to describe her mother. Sarcasm sliced through the air.

“ Kagome, I could never hate you. You're my flesh and blood and no matter what you do I could never hate you.”

“ Some bullshit. As much as you say you don't hate me you never said you love me. I guess I'm tolerable. Its only fair I guess because I can barely tolerate you.”

“ Its just a phase—“

“ Don't even go there! You think you own the fucking world because you've been there? You know shit about me and as much as you pretend, I see you for the conniving bitch you are.”

“ Kagome, I do love you.”

“ Whatever, I hate you bitch!!!” She stood up and walked in the direction of the door. “ Just stay away, stay outta my life!” She picked up a syrup drenched waffle off Sota's plate and left the dinning hall.

 

Kagome needed to leave the house. It was…. stifling! Dressed in her knickers, tube top and channel boots, she took her Mercedes and drove into town. It was a small town, well, small to her. It had the normal things, a mall, couple plazas; self owned business, food places and so on. She drove into the parking lot of a suave restaurant. A Japanese restaurant. She had a craving for sushi; all this American food was making her stomach woozy. After locking up the Mercedes, she stuffed the keys into her pocket and strode into the restaurant. Even though it was only 10 in the morning, the place was packed. She stood at the podium, which held a brawny looking man,

“ May I help you ma'am?”

“ Yeah, table for one.”

“ Right this way.”

As she followed him through the restaurant, she couldn't help but stare. The decorations were a mesh of Japanese and American culture. The main colors were burgundy and gold. The lighting was dim with candles at each table. The atmosphere in itself was amazing.

“ Here you are.”

Kagome sat down at a secluded table. As expected, there was an empty chair across from her. Not many people dined alone. The table was close to one of the carpeted walls in the back. Good, Kagome didn't want to be seen. The man handed her a menu, told her he'd be back in 5 minutes to take her order and left.

A nasty habit Kagome had was to chew her fingernails when she was anxious or nervous. She had lovely nails until she decided to bite them. As she chewed away, many things ran through her head, her mother, Inuyasha. The word her mother had said to her resonated in her ears. It was annoying. She was actually starting to regret what she said this morning to her.

`Daddy, what do you do all day when you leave home?'

` I work, that's what mommies and daddies do.'

`Mommy doesn't leave the house?”

“ That's because I don't want her to. I make sure you and mommy can live in comfort and you don't have to lift a finger. I want to spoil my little princess.'

`Mommy says its not good to be spoilt.” A deep laugh filled the study. She loved being in his study. It smelled of pinewood, cigars and expensive cologne. It smelled like daddy.

`Mommy is jealous of you my little princess. I love you enough to spoil you.'

`I love you too daddy. More than I love Mommy.'

`Don't say that Kagome. You should love equally.'

` Ok, I will try.' But deep down, she knew she would always love her daddy more than her mother. She hugged his foot as he laughed and drew in on his cigar. She laughed and played in the swirling smoke until her nanny came to take her to bed. She prayed for daddy, even more than she prayed for herself.

“ Ma'am?”

“ Wa… Yes?”

“This bottle of red wine is on the house. Are you ready to order?”

“ On the house?”

“ Yes the owner said to bring it to you. Your order?”

Kagome made her order and peered at the wine bottle as the waiter walked stiffly away. Maybe it has poison in it. The owner probably saw me walk in alone and has a fetish for girls like me. That's stupid Kagome! It hasn't even been opened. Just drink the damn thing. How about you leave it. Or, you can take it home and make mother drink it before you. If she survives you can drink the rest. Yeah, that's what imma do. She felt dumb arguing with herself but felt content at the conclusion she had come to. She began biting her nails again as she remembered what Inuyasha had said to her the night before. It had sent chills down her spin and she had stood still for who knows long before she was able to move.

“ Enjoying that wine?”

Kagome looked up to see the man of her fantasy—and her nightmares, sitting across the table from her.

“ Shit! What the fuck are you doing here? Are you stalking me?!”

“ Well if you weren't staring into space like that you would have seen when I came to the table.” Inuyasha grinned smartly at her. His pearly whites stood out against his black suit. He looked virile and positively handsome.

“ Why are you here?” She looked at him annoyed.

“ I own the place.”

 

 

Inuyasha couldn't believe his eyes when Kagome had walked into the restaurant. She looked stressed like she hadn't slept. Her hair looked like a mess. It was in a messy ponytail on top of her head with loose strand flying about her face. It was arousing. Her designer jeans hugged her in places he loved to see naked and her blouse sucked onto her sexily. He had immediately sent a bottle of aged wine to her table and after he finished up his accounting, he headed over to her table. He didn't know what it was about her but he was drawn to her like a moth to the flame and eventually, he was going to get burned.

“ Inuyasha let me eat in peace.”

“ No.”

“ Well, at least you came straight out. Now what do you mean you own the place?”

“ This is my restaurant.”

“ Really now?”

“ Yeah. Is it so hard to believe?”

“ Well, you…cooking…. It's just not coming to me.”

“ I cooked you roast beef yesterday!”

“ You could have had that in the fridge before! You sister could have made it.”

“ So juicy and succulent?”

“ Fine, you win. But why Japanese? Is the business booming, because I don't see a lot of Japanese restaurants in America.”

“ I guess I want to honor my heritage. And being one of the only large chains of Japanese restaurants in the country, I'd say I'm doing fine.”

“ Chain? You mean there's more than one?”

“ Well yeah, there are 12 restaurants all over the country, and a new one coming out in Texas next year.”

“ Who knew.” Kagome shrugged as he pulled the wine. She had pinned him to be an average person with the average job but he had surprised her. She smiled as he handed her a glass with the red wine in it. “ You do know I'm under aged, right?”

“ Like that ever stopped you.” It was amazing how he knew her so well after a day. They spoke as if they were long lost friends. He continued. “ So what were you thinking about before I came over. Me?”

“ Don't flatter yourself. I was thinking about my dad.” Ok, so a little lie, well a half-truth. She averted her eyes.

“ What about him?” His question was innocent but a big mistake.

“ Nothing! Drop it!”

“ Whoa, sorry.”

“ Don't talk about him unless I bring it up.”

“ You did.”

Silence. Inuyasha sipped the wine delicately. Kagome downed it in one gulp.

“ Why don't you just leave me alone?!”

Inuyasha said nothing. “ You're always around when I want to be alone. What are you, a fucking leech?”

“ Kagome, please lower your voice. You're disturbing the other diners.”

“ Are you fucking serious?! Do you think I give shit about them? I shouldn't even be here! I try to leave and get a minute of silence away from the bitch and I just happen to walk into the restaurant you own!” She looked up at the ceiling, “ Oh God just kill me now! I hate this place!”

By now diners were looking at Kagome who had gotten up from her seat and had her head tilted to the sky and her hand up in the air in a melodramatic fashion. She looked senile. Inuyasha put down his glass of wine and began pulling her out of the dining area.

“ Excuse me diners. I apologize for the inconvenience. Free bottle of wine for each table, on the house.”

“ Oh, so now I'm an inconvenience!”

Inuyasha pulled her through an oak door at the end of the room. The door led to a quiet hall with doors on each wall until a large door loomed in font of them. Dragging her, Inuyasha went through the door. It was a very comfortable office. A large overstuffed leather chair around a mahogany desk, large painting behind the chair. Lounging couch of the same material as the chair, two smaller chairs in front of the table, potted plants all over, and even a mini bar. Same theme as the dining room. Inuyasha pushed her into the couch and turned the lock on the door.

“ What the hell is you're problem Kagome. Are you schizophrenic? No, are you nuts?!”

He walked over to the tiny fridge and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. Not bothering to use a glass, he put it to his head and took a gulp. Kagome fumed in the couch until her put the bottle down and turned to her. “ You can't just start ranting and shouting profanities in a family restaurant, you crazy?!”

Kagome stared at him but said nothing.

“ Goddamnit Kagome, answer me!”

“ I don't have to!”

“ You don't have an answer, do you? You just love to argue. You need help. You have a problem.”

“ What the hell?! Now you're a psychiatrist?”

Inuyasha took off his jacket and threw it over the back of the large chair. His white undershirt only teased Kagome and she could see the outline of his abdominal muscles. Loosing some of her steam to this sight she cooed, “ I'm still hungry. The whole reason I came here was because I missed breakfast. I had a falling out with my mother.”

“ Really, over what?”

It was amazing how one minute they were verbally sparring and then they were cool again. It was also kinda creepy. Kagome shifted in the couch, getting more comfortable. He sat down in the big overstuffed chair and looked at her.

“ She told me she loved me.”

Inuyasha stared at her for a good while before answering,

“ God, you're serious! What's wrong if she says that?”

“ It's a lie.” That said it all. Inuyasha could see he was treading on thin ice. She looked like she was about to crack. He rose, went over to her and kneeled in front of her.

“ Its only a lie if you don't believe it.”

Kagome looked deep into his hazel champagne eyes. She loved his eyes. She began to laugh,

“ Step off with your sentimental bullshit!” Inuyasha began to laugh too. Rising, he went to his desk and pressed a small button on a pa system.

“ Can you send the meal ordered by table 42 to my office, and my usual.”

The intercom buzzed off and Inuyasha strode back over to Kagome. “ You know you rub me the wrong way.”

“ You get on my last nerve!”

Sitting beside her on the couch, her pulled her to him,

“ Ever have fantasies about having sex in an office?”

Kagome pretended to blush,

“ You pervert! But sorry, beat you to it. That's where I first did it. On my mother's desk at her office with her accountant.”

“ Damn girl!” He pulled her into a kiss. A kiss that led to much more. Kagome laid back and pulled Inuyasha onto her. Inuyasha placed a hand on her breast and squeezed. His kissed deepened as he tangoed with her tongue and tried to do as deep as possible. She willingly opened her moth to accept him. He broke the kiss and looked solemnly at her. She grabbed his lower lip between her teeth. Inuyasha made an unexpected growl that made Kagome's blood rush hard. She could hear it pounding in her ears as she nibbled roughly on his lips. He pulled away,

“ I'm still bruised from yesterday. Careful with me. I bruise like a peach. “

Kagome grabbed his tie and pulled him down again where the promptly struggled for dominance in their kissing. Inuyasha began to lift up Kagome's shirt. Her milky skin became exposed inch by inch. His touch sent liquid flames racing between her loins. Moaning erotically, she grabbed onto his pant crotches. Inuyasha responded by nipping her tongue harshly. Some violence was needed seeing this woman crawled under his skin in more than one ways. He pulled away to revel in her beauty as she molded the front of his pants. Her sooty eyelashes lay neatly on her rosy cheeks. Inuyasha prepared himself for another kiss when a loud knock sounded on the door.

“ What?!” Inuyasha growled.

“ You're orders.” A muffled reply squeezed through the cracks of the large door. Inuyasha grumbled and moved from over Kagome. Kagome grin awkwardly at him as she tried to disguise his prominent erection. She sat up and pulled down her blouse properly. Giving him a smile to indicate that she was finished, he walked to the door and opened it. A thin man walked in with a one of the rolling trays filled with an assortment of foods, fruits and vegetables.

“ The whole of that shit is not mine! You eat like a damn horse! “ Kagome retorted smiling. Inuyasha glared at her as the man wheeled the tray in. He stopped to set up a fold out table. He decorated it with a blinding white linen tablecloth, a small vase of flowers and an elegant candelabrum with unlit candles. He set out the silverware in precise order, placed the different plates on the table and placed a bottle of champagne in a tub of ice to cool. Draping a white towel over his lower arm, he stood at attention. Inuyasha looked annoyed the whole time he was setting up the items and he looked extremely peeved when the man stood beside the table like a palace guard. He waved at him,

“ You can go now.”

“ But don't you want me to share the different courses?” His voice reminded Kagome of freshly starched polyester, the stiffness of it.

“ Its not necessary for you to stay. But I'll buzz if I need you.” Inuyasha struggled to keep his voice even. His face was turning a deep red with anger at the man. He looked like he would explode any minute as the man bowed and exited the room. Inuyasha trailed behind him, closed the door and turned the lock. He raced over to Kagome who still held the same position she had during the whole scene. He sat down beside her and reached for her. Kagome dodged him and stood up,

“ What are you doing? I'm friggin' hungry.”

“ But…”

“ An hungry man is an angry man so buzz of.”

“ You're not a man and I am angry because I'm hungry but not for food.”

“ Eat!” She commanded. A tone of voice that required no response. He sat at the table and dug into his food. Kagome sat across from him devouring her food. He was thinking deeply as he chewed and it could be seen on his face.

Kagome swallowed some food in her mouth. “ Stop staring like that! Make polite table conversation!”

“ What?! You have to be kiddin' me. I don't want food!”

“ What exactly do you want?”

“ You damn well know what.”

“ When you're finished eating.”

“ You think you have me on a leash?”

“ I don't think, I know.”

Inuyasha's eyes dilated. Me, on a leash? Is she serious? We'll see who has whom on a leash. He rose from his seat with a buttered waterfowl leg. He strode over to Kagome and rubbed it on her face. She jumped, startled.

“ What are you doing?! Are u stupid or what?!”

He ignored her and bent to lick the buttered trail off her cheek. He immediately felt her stiffen beneath him. She reached out and pushed him away. “ I'm eating! Lemmie enjoy it!”

Inuyasha laughed deeply and pulled her chair away. She growled threateningly. Inuyasha had seen mother bears give less protection to their cubs than her to her food. He craned back her neck and kissed her in the upside down position. She struggled against him but due to how he had her pinned to the chair, there was little she could do. She fought as much as she could—like a wild cat, until she surrendered and went pliant. Inuyasha removed his lips,

“ You are spoilt rotten. You know that?”

“ Make something of it!” She threatened.

“ Have you no respect for your elders?”

“ If you're my elder, act it!”

“ Whoa, you mad now aren't you?”

“ No! Just annoyed. Get out of my face Inuyasha.” She pushed his face aside from where he was standing over her in the chair.

“ You're just used to having your own way.”

“ And is that a crime?” She threw up her hands dramatically, “ Sorry, shoot me.”

“ Stop it. You sound childish.”

“ Don't tell me to stop, I do what I want when I want.”

“ That sounds so childish and spoilt! You just can't help it. Its in your blood to be spoilt isn't it?” Inuyasha stood up and looked down at Kagome. He had provoked her and now she was striking mad. She looked cute as her hair lay in wisps around her oval face and her bangs cast shrouded shadows on her face. Her eyes looked glassy and her cute bow lips were curled into a snarl. Her breathing was heavy and her nostrils flared with each intake of air. The swell of her breast, which were quite visible, rose and fell significantly with her breathing. Inuyasha was being aroused. The next thing that happened was in slow motion for Inuyasha. Kagome let out a war like screech before he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. It was after the pain had traveled the course of his body that he saw her fist reeled back in from his abdomen. She had punched him. He doubled over and grabbed his stomach. It was something to be prepared for a punch, his abs would have clenched but this was totally unexpected.

“ Fucking creep! You think its funny to piss me off? Do you know who the fuck I am? You can't just get up and think that because I pitied you and fucked you once that you can come back anytime! It's the other way around you fucking dyke! Shit works my way, not yours! Are you stupid or something? I don't know you, who the hell are you? You know me 24 hours and you think you have rights to me? I will have you killed moron, hunted and shot like the little bitch you are. You aren't important and you want to touch me like you own me? I hope that hurts like the bitch you are you asshole!” She neatly placed her $1,000 boots in his crotch and applied force. He went flying on the floor where she then placed the same boot on his neck. “ Careful who you fuck with. You might come out without your damn balls!”

By this time, Inuyasha had caught his breath from the first punch and was now as pissed as she was. He grabbed her boot and twisted it. She fell over him. He quickly wriggled from her and grabbed the bucket with the champagne in it. Placing the champagne on the floor, her emptied the contents of the bucket over her head and chest.

“ You need to calm down. Chill!”

Kagome sputtered as the ice-cold water and ice cubes ran over her face, chest and hair. Goose pimples ran up her arms and her nipples went erect. Her ear splitting scream deafened Inuyasha for a minute. She took the opportunity to take up the stainless steel bucket and whack Inuyasha in his head. His head bounced off the bucket like rubber. He clutched his head in the spot where she had hit him,

“ BITCH!!!” He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her over to him. She screeched as he slammed a plate of food from the table into her face. All the food particles smothered her face and stained her top. Kagome spat the food out onto his face before shoving her knee into his crotch. Inuyasha had seen that coming and dodge the full blow, only getting 25% of the pain he should have gotten. He let go off her hair and kicked her into the table. The entire table turned over with an earsplitting crash. Kagome's face screwed in pain. Not letting it stop her she threw a wine glass at him. He dodged the missile and heard it shatter on the wall behind him. Reaching back into the overturned pandemonium that was on the floor, she grabbed a carving knife and threw it.

“ Jesus Christ!” Inuyasha bellowed as the knife flew past him. She was going to kill him! Taking up the champagne bottle that lay near him, he shook it violently and pulled it. He aimed it at Kagome and smiled wickedly as she sparkling bubbles doused her face. She coughed loudly as the bubbles drowned her. When the stream began to subside, Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a pathetic look. She put down the dessert plate she held in her hand and breathed laboriously. Inuyasha began to crawl cautiously over to her, “ You ok?”

She continued to cough before spitting on the floor. Inuyasha reached her and sat beside her. She turned to him and punched him across his jaw. Inuyasha only rubbed it. “ I guess I deserve that for beating on a girl.”

“ I can't believe you fought me back!” Her voice was strained and hoarse from the coughing she did from choking on the champagne.

“ Hold on, you mean no one has ever fought you?”

“ Well no. I always just get away with hitting them. No one never hit me back because either because I was I girl or because I was rich.”

“ That sucks, you just missed out like the majority of your childhood.”

Kagome laughed then grabbed her head,

“ My head feels like its splitting open.”

“ Sorry bout pulling on you're hair, but you did hit me with the ice bucket! My head is killing me too.”

“ I didn't really mean to hurt you.”

“ What?! You threw a carving knife after me!”

“ On impulse and in self defense!”

Inuyasha eyes grew wide before he began to laugh. He held on to his jaw in a moment of pain from her punch,

“ You certainly don't hit like a chick, imma feel everything in the morning.”

Kagome muttered a feeble sorry. She looked down on herself and began to peel the plastered blouse off her skin. It had changed from a light blue to and conglomerate of purple, brown, yellow and other unrecognizable colors.

“ This is the first time I wore this blouse!”

“ How much for it?”

“ I dunno, $700?”

“ For a piece of cloth and straps?”

“ Yup.”

“ I will replace it.”

“ Nah, its cool. My mom bought it for me.”

There was a silence. Kagome stood up wobbly and looked around. “ This place is a mess! Look at the floor!”

“ Its cool, someone will clean it up.”

The marble floors were tainted with food and that same food was splotched on the wooden table. The champagne had created a sticky film on the chairs, table, floor and herself. The water from the ice bucket pooled all over the floor and soaked Kagome, her hair looked stringy and in clumps.

“ I feel so nasty! I need a shower.”

“ I'll take you home.”

“ I drove here, and can we go to your house?”

“ My house, why?”

“ My mom would freak if she saw me like this. She'd probably blame it on my incompetence and my lack of responsibility.” She stressed the words to show her mockery of her mother's beliefs. Inuyasha stood up and gritted his teeth in pain from standing so quickly. Kagome giggled. “ So which one of us is in the better position to drive?”

“ Well you look worse than me but you actually are better off than me, so that settles that. We'll go out the back door as not to attract any attention.”

“ But what if someone comes looking for you? You drove here and if you can't be found and your car's still here, who knows what might happen.”

“ They'll call, now come on.”

They walked over to the large door and Inuyasha opened it a crack. Peering down the hallway, he made sure it was clear before he pulled her into the hall. They ran down the hall to a metal door on the left of the hallway. Pushing it open, they emerged into the bright out doors. Laughing giddily, Kagome ran around to where her car was parked. Digging into her pockets for her keys, she unlocked the car and sat down. Inuyasha came around the passenger's seat and smiled impressed,

“ Wow, I'm impressed. A Mercedes. And I like your choice of color. Mine is actually black but the burgundy is classic too.”

Kagome frowned mentally, she was quickly discovering she couldn't talk down to this man, he was her equal financially, or so it seemed. She started the engine and drove off. She needed to discover this man Inuyasha beside her quickly. There seemed to be more to him than his silky silver hair, Adonis body and his fathomless amber eyes.

 

A/N: They fight! Didn't think Inuyasha had it in him to hit her back did you? But my mother always used to say, those who can't hear must feel and she definitely felt it. Well enjoy it and try to keep up with me. Now that I'm on summer vacation, I have nothing to do but write. So beware the wrath of my brain! Muha ha ha ha (evil laugh) Lol
