[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A/N. Sorry for the long delay. This chapter had me confuzzled and I didn't know what to write about but I got it together. Its not my best chapter so bare with me and feel free to tell me anything that you think would go better in this chapter. I'm still making revisions to previous chapters and your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all my fans!
Kikyo wiped the sweat from her brow as Naraku moved to the cd player to shut it off. The pair had been dancing nonstop for three hours, perfecting their dance for the competition. With Inuyasha and his pathetic girlfriend out of it she knew that she and Naraku couldn't be beat. Koga with Ayame and Miroku with Sango might pose a little problem but she doubted very highly that the four would be able to win. The might come in a close second but that would be it.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?"
Kikyo roused herself out of her thinking as her stoic boyfriend addressed her. "Very much so. We can't lose."
Naraku smiled at her enthusiasm to win. "My uncle will be pleased. There's only one thing though."
"What's that?"
"It won't be exciting tomorrow since we won't have any close competition."
Kikyo grinned evilly. "It will have to do. You'll get over it."
Naraku bent down and kissed her. "I'm sure I will."
**********
Kagome watched as her three companions washed their hands and faces off as good as they could to free themselves from the paint that had started to dry on their skin. She was the only one that wasn't covered in paint. Sango would have been clean too if Miroku hadn't decided to rub himself all over her. It had been hilarious though.
"I want to go take a bath." Sango pouted.
"We don't have time. It's already past noon." Inuyasha said while wringing his bangs.
"But I'm covered in paint!"
"You'll be ok. You're not the only one."
Sango crossed her arms over her chest, puffing in anger. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome who couldn't surpress her urge to laugh. His once shiny silver hair was tinged a very lovely shade of pink.
Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"
"You...your hair."
Inuyasha pulled a lock of his hair to look at it and noticed the pink shade to it. "Would you like some?"
Kagome stopped laughing and shook her head. "I'm ok. Thanks."
Inuyasha grinned. "Thought so."
He then removed his shirt, also pink and still dripping. Kagome felt her cheeks flare up at the expanse of skin she saw. She had seen him without his shirt before but, after all, she was still female and it felt like the first time she had seen him without it. Inuyasha tossed his shirt beside the portable cd player he had brought with him and bent down to fumble with the machine.
Sango watched Miroku as he also removed his shirt. It only helped a little considering his pants were completely covered in paint. She and Kagome had done a pretty good job getting him completely covered from head to toe. There wasn't a spot on him void of the paint. She wasn't that much better off. Miroku had gotten her front mostly covered and his arms had gotten the back of her. She aslo knew she had two big handprints on her butt too. He just couldn't resisit. Miroku had wiped his hands down his shirt, mixing all the colors together, then abruptly grabbed her rear, leaving his mark.
Inuyasha finally found a song and pressed play. He then walked over to Kagome and took her hand in his and place his other hand on her hip. Miroku repeated Inuyasha'a actions with Sango. He also noted his friend had picked an American classical song to dance to. It went well with the dance he had planned with Sango. Maybe Inuyasha would let him use it if it wasn't the song the hanyou had picked out for himself.
Kagome tentatively placed her hand on her boyfriend's shoulder, blushing like mad. She kept her eyes locked on his throat as they danced. The teenager couldn't trust herself to gaze at his chest and expect herself to pull her eyes away. He had the body of a god and the best thing was, he was hers. Inuyasha, smelling Kagome's apprehension, looked down on her head. He had told her that she had to look at her partner while dancing, so as to look like she was completely into him and the dance. He removed his hand from her hip, took her chin in hand, and moved her head to look up at him. He noticed the blush greedily spread across her cheeks as her gorgeous brown eyes locked with his golden ones.
Inuyasha caught on to her uneasiness and couldn't help the smirk that played on his lips. "Like what you see, Ka-go-me?
If at all possible the blush grew even more fierce. Kagome gulped nervously. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Inuyasha got dangerously close to her face, his voice husky. "I think you do."
Kagome swallowed her pride. "Sure I like the view."
"I thought so. What girl couldn't resist my devilishly good looks?"
"Its your mouth that takes away the attraction to your body."
Inuyasha placed his hand over his heart, feigning hurt. "That hurt, babe. You're still with me though."
"I couldn't help myself." She said sarcastically.
Inuyasha smiled. "Good thing too." He then swopped down and caught Kagome's lips in a chaste kiss.
"Ew! PDA is so gross! Get a room!" Sango yelled.
Kagome groaned, slumping against Inuyasha's chest, forgetting that he was topless. Blinking rapidly she gained her wits back and pulled herself off of Inuyasha as if he were on fire. The smirk never left the hanyou's face.

"Are you sure that you want to stay tonight, sir? We are closing the resort tomorrow seeing as it is the end of the summer." The cheery clerk asked the young businessman in front of her.
"I will be staying."
"Ok sir. Would you like a regular room or a suite?"
"Suite."
The young man handed the clerk his card before she could even tell him the total of his room. It didn't matter to him how much it cost. He was wealthy and he doubted very much the room would put a dent into his account. The young woman handed his card back along with his room key.
"Your room is located on the top floor of the building. Would you like someone to carry your bag for you?"
"That won't be necessary. Would you happen to know where I can find Inuyasha Takahashi?"
"I don't know his whereabouts right now but I can tell you where his cabin is."
"Where?"
"Go to the employee cabins and his is the only one sitting on a hill by itself. Its the first one on the left."
The young man nodded his head once. He swept his unusually long behind his shoulder, picked up his bag, and entered the elevator. He looked over the buttons and pressed the one for the top floor. The elevator jerked with life and began ascending the building. After he was finished settling himself in his room he would pay this Inuyasha Takahashi a visit. It was going to be priceless to see the hanyou's face after all the time that has passed without any communication. The young man let a small, very small, smirk appear on his face.
"Very interesting."
**********
Kagome sat on a log, panting heavily, smiling. Inuyasha had taught her and the others some sort of square dance from America. They were swinging each other around by the arms and then would move onto another person and repeat the action. Miroku had tripped over his own feet, pulling Kagome down with him, and that's when the dance ended.
"Come on you guys. I didn' trip. I'm tired."
Sango rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure Miroku."
Miroku pouted. "Its true. We've been out here for two hours already."
"Quit complaining pervert."
"Inuyasha. As much as I enjoy learning new dances from you I do want to be able to move my body tomorrow. We do have a competition tomorrow night, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember. Me and Kags are going to win."
Miroku raised an eyebrow. "Sure of yourself aren't you?"
"I'm confident, not cocky if that's what you're getting at."
"Me and Sango have been practising every chance we get so don't think we are going to make it easy for you to win. Also..."
"Also...?"
Miroku sighed. "Naraku and Kikyo are going to compete too."
"Keh. I could care less."
Kagome watched on as Inuyasha placed his hands on his hips, nose in the air. She could tell whenever Kikyo was brought up that it brought back memories of them together. Inuyasha probably still had feelings for the girl, no matter how many times he tried to deny it. Why wouldn't he? Kikyo was his first girlfriend that he ever cared about, according to Miroku. The blue, black-haired girl couldn't help but sigh. She would always feel second to Kikyo. From what she saw when she had seen Kikyo was that Kikyo was skinner than her, her hair was more controlled while hers was unruly, and overall Kikyo seemed more sophisticated and well-refined. Traits Kagome would never dream that she would acquire in her lifetime. Kagome was pulled out of her thoughts when Inuyasha had put his hand out to her. He was still in conversation with Miroku, cd player in his other hand. She places her small hand in his larger one and he pulled her to her feet, gaze still on Miroku.
"Wanna place a bet Miroku?"
"Inuyasha. Do I seem like the type of man to bet against my best friend?"
"Yes."
Miroku feigned hurt. "You wound me."
Inuyasha smirked. "You're not chicken are you?"
"Yash, I may be cowardly when it comes to saving my life from my girlfriend here but I am no chicken."
"That's good to know. Still wanna bet?"
"What are we betting?"
"I'll think of something and let you know before the dance. See you Miro, Sango."
Miroku said goodbye to him and Kagome as the girls waved to each other. Miroku and Sango walked back to the main guest house to help out with clearing the tables after dinner and to set up that night's entertainment. Inuyasha and Kagome walked silently, hand in hand, back to his cabin. Inuyasha let go of her hand to place his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close.
"You've been quiet ever since Miroku fell down. You feel ok?"
"Mm hm. I'm just a little tired is all." Kagome put her arm around his waist and her other hand over his hand. She smiled when Inuyasha squeezed her shoulder gently.
"Do you feel up to going over the dance for tomorrow?"
"I think I have it down."
"Good. You could use the rest of tonight and early tomorrow to rest up. You've been through a lot since you've gotten here."
"And here I thought this trip would be boring. I'm glad I came though."
"Me too."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha as he came to an abrupt stop right before his cabin. The hanyou's nose and ears twitched.
"What's the matter?"
After a few moments of silence Inuyasha looked down at her. "I thought I smelled something. Come on."
The couple entered the dark cabin. Kagome stood behind Inuyasha as he turned to switch on the light. Neither one were expecting a man to be there waiting for them. To Kagome the man was almost a spitting image of Inuyasha. His hair was the same silver but longer and eyes were the same golden color but his were a lot more colder and harsher than Inuyasha's. Unlike the cute, fuzzy ears Inuyasha had this man had pointy ears. Kagome moved closer behind Inuyasha, peering over his shoulder.
Inuyasha growled. "Sesshomaru! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Its nice to see you too, little brother." The man's face remained stoic.
"To what do I owe this honor?"
"I have something for you."
"I don't want anything you have to offer me. You left us when I was seven."
"Due to business. I wanted to settle things."
"You didn't have to leave."
"I was young and I couldn't afford to take care of you properly."
"It would have been a lot better than leaving me on the streets!"
"Your friend took you in, did he not?"
Inuyasha's growl grew louder.
"Calm yourself Inuyasha. I merely came here to uphold my end of the bargain."
Inuyasha stopped growling, puzzled. "What bargain?"
"Father's. You were small so its no surprise that you had no idea what was going on. Before the company came crashing down Father made me your legal guardian should anything happen to him or your mother. Needless to say I wasn't too thrilled to get the job. Then all hell broke lose. The company crashed after Father died and I was too young to know how to run it by myself. So, over the years, I have educated myself in the business field and I was able to bring back our company from the grave. You need not do anything for or with the company."
"Then why are you here if you don't want me to have anything to do with our Father's company?"
"Let's just say I'm making up for lost time. Its up to you whether or not you want your share."
Sesshomaru stood up from Inuyasha's bed and made his way to the door. Both Inuyasha and Kagome moved out of the way, Kagome still clinging behind Inuyasha. She didn't think Inuyasha's brother was someone to be messed with. The regal youkai stopped before he reached the door to stare at the girl.
"I see you made somewhat of a smart move."
Inuyasha began to growl again. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, I know that you are part human so its no surprise you would go for a human girl. She looks a lot better than the other whore you were seeing."
The hanyou's face turned red. "How do you know about her?"
Sesshomaru smirked. "I've been keeping an eye on you. I will expect your answer by tomorrow night. My room is on the fourth floor. 416."
The youkai left his younger brother and his girlfriend.
"Inuyasha?"
"That bastard."
"Inuyasha?"
The inu-hanyou whirled on his girlfriend, startling her. Inuyasha sighed and hugged Kagome close, resting his head on her shoulder. Breathing in her scent was a calming influence on him. Not that he would admit it to anyone. His brother's visit puzzled him and angered him beyond belief. It had been fifteen years since he last seen his brother and he was a little surprised that he knew who he was. Sure the silver hair and golden eyes gave him away. But why would he come here after all this time just to give him money? He could have sent a check in the mail or have not bothered to make an appearance at all. Him coming here was bringing up bad memories for Inuyasha and he wanted the past to remain in the past. Did his brother expect him to go begging to him to take him in or something? There had to be a catch. Inuyasha sighed once more.
"I don't know why he's here Kagome."
"He said he wanted to give you your fair share of the money.""Yeah but he's got to have some kind of ulterior motive. Give your brother a whole lot of money and expect nothing in return? Come on."
"I don't know. Maybe he wants to make up for what happened fifteen years ago.""Sure took him long enough."
"Better late than never, right?"
"I guess so."
Kagome cuddled closer to Inuyasha's chest, completely over the fact that he was still topless. "Are you going to accept his offer?"
"I'll have to think about it. In the mean time..." Inuyasha pulled Kagome away from him, not missing that she whimpered. "Let's get something to eat."
"What if Kikyo and Naraku see us?"
Inuyasha pulled his cell phone from the dresser. "We'll just have Miroku bring us something."
"Won't he get into trouble for leaving?"
"He's sneaky. They'll never miss him."
After Inuyasha made the call to Miroku about bringing them something to eat, the hanyou had went to take a shower. No matter how much scrubbing or shampoo he used Kagome doubted that all the paint would come out of his hair or off his face. Kagome answered the door and let Miroku in, helping him with the plates of food he had brought them.
"Gee Miroku. Are you feeding an army?"
"Inuyasha has a really big apetite. He's in the shower?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you want to join him?"
"Ew. Miroku you're such a pervert."
Miroku laughed and winked at her. "Tell him I said hey. I gotta get back to the kitchen."
"See ya."
Moments later Inuyasha came out, clad in only a towel. Kagome blushed furiously as the hanyou made his way around his poker table, laden with food, checking it all out.
"Did he bring enough?" Inuyasha asked while sniffing Ramen.
"He said you had an apetite."
"Keh." Inuyasha put the lid back on the Ramen and went behind his screen to get dressed. To Kagome he should have kept the towel on seeing as his boxers didn't cover that much more up. But who was she to complain? Any girl would go mad for a view like that. Hard chiseled abs, strong biceps, lean...Kagome shook her head.
Kagome took a seat after Inuyasha as he began to pile food onto his plate. She poured their drinks in a cup and handed on to him. She was surprised that while she was doing this that he had fixed her a plate too.
Inuyasha lifted his cup up. "Cheers?"
Kagome smiled. "Ok."
"To us and to..."
"Tomorrow." Kagome finished for him.
The hanyou smiled. "To us and to tomorrow."
The couple clinked their glasses together and ate in comfortable silence.
Kikyo wiped the sweat from her brow as Naraku moved to the cd player to shut it off. The pair had been dancing nonstop for three hours, perfecting their dance for the competition. With Inuyasha and his pathetic girlfriend out of it she knew that she and Naraku couldn't be beat. Koga with Ayame and Miroku with Sango might pose a little problem but she doubted very highly that the four would be able to win. The might come in a close second but that would be it.

Naraku smiled at her enthusiasm to win. "My uncle will be pleased. There's only one thing though."
"What's that?"
"It won't be exciting tomorrow since we won't have any close competition."
Kikyo grinned evilly. "It will have to do. You'll get over it."
Naraku bent down and kissed her. "I'm sure I will."

Inuyasha pulled his cell phone from the dresser. "We'll just have Miroku bring us something."
"Won't he get into trouble for leaving?"
"He's sneaky. They'll never miss him."
After Inuyasha made the call to Miroku about bringing them something to eat, the hanyou had went to take a shower. No matter how much scrubbing or shampoo he used Kagome doubted that all the paint would come out of his hair or off his face. Kagome answered the door and let Miroku in, helping him with the plates of food he had brought them.
"Gee Miroku. Are you feeding an army?"
"Inuyasha has a really big apetite. He's in the shower?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you want to join him?"
"Ew. Miroku you're such a pervert."
Miroku laughed and winked at her. "Tell him I said hey. I gotta get back to the kitchen."
"See ya."
Moments later Inuyasha came out, clad in only a towel. Kagome blushed furiously as the hanyou made his way around his poker table, laden with food, checking it all out.
"Did he bring enough?" Inuyasha asked while sniffing Ramen.
"He said you had an apetite."
"Keh." Inuyasha put the lid back on the Ramen and went behind his screen to get dressed. To Kagome he should have kept the towel on seeing as his boxers didn't cover that much more up. But who was she to complain? Any girl would go mad for a view like that. Hard chiseled abs, strong biceps, lean...Kagome shook her head.
Kagome took a seat after Inuyasha as he began to pile food onto his plate. She poured their drinks in a cup and handed on to him. She was surprised that while she was doing this that he had fixed her a plate too.
Inuyasha lifted his cup up. "Cheers?"
Kagome smiled. "Ok."
"To us and to..."
"Tomorrow." Kagome finished for him.
The hanyou smiled. "To us and to tomorrow."
The couple clinked their glasses together and ate in comfortable silence.
