When he came down stairs again not too long after he had ascended up those dark wooden planks, she had her black knee length trench coat on, her long locks pulled up in to some crazed knot, literally, she had no pins or bows exposed from the raven mass of tress, and yet she looked regal. He noticed for the first time tonight that she had on pearls, not faux pearls, those were easy to see with demon eyes but real pearls, her pouty ear lobs seemed to hold the well rounded mass up and away from her long neck. Taking in her presence again, he noted that her eye lids were closed, allowing him to see the slightly smoky color of her eye shadow, and the slight light in his home reflected from a light outside, he could see just the barest hint of glossed peached colored lips. Those lips looked kissable, and did tend to stand out just a tad from the rest of her golden bronzed skin.
Kagome had sat back while waiting for the Lord of the West, oh yes she knew who he was, it had not concerned her, their status was the same, even if she were a mere human, and him a near god. Where as he was a cardinal lord, or heir to, She was the Great miko of Japan, the Shikon miko at that, there were four just like him to some point but there was only one of her, his near godlike status elevated him closer to her rank, but her human status lowered her to his, they were equals as far as any human or youkai court or law would see.
She had felt his aura upstairs moving about at high speeds, and yet for all she felt she found herself lost in thought. ‘Offer?’ the word played in her mind and yet she still hadn’t remembered any offer other then getting revenge, some how though she didn’t think that was it. Brushing off the thought she sat back in a crimson chair, that sat beside the crimson sofa, pushing herself back she crossed her legs leaving them to bend at a perfect thirty seven degree angle, her calve muscle taught, her feet arched to show just how seductive the stilettos could be. She had propped her elbows up on the arm rests, closed her eyes, laced her fingers together to wait.
Opening her eyes in a flash, her powers had flared there so she could see with ease causing them to glow with a soft white, and yet she noticed that the demon lord was staring at her, surely he hadn’t expected her to be so lazy around his home, kami knows what he might do to her. She took in his appearance, if he was drop dead sexy before, he was surly a sin worth burning in the pits of hell for now, her arousal spiked dramatically, but she didn’t care. Kagome had already decided that so long as he wasn’t snide about it she would be as open to him as possible. True it could lead to her downfall eventually but in the end, being closed off from her feelings, or the truth about her, and many other things she knew not to share until the time was ‘right,’ these things were what had led her down the relationship path known as ‘Inuyasha.’
He stood there casually with his hand in his pocket, the other holding up what looked to be a matching coat to his very sharp pants and vest, a three piece, she thought, sexy. The whole suit was black, jet black, his dress shoes shiny, also back, his button down dress shirt though was the same crimson as the design on her dress, leaving his black tie with the near same sakura patter in white to sit out and look very contrasting against the rich color. He had actually matched her, a small smirk played on her lips at the thought. Emitting what sounded like a purr, before she knew it, her arousal again spiked hard, Sesshomaru found that the noise seemed far too realistic of an inu bitch calling to her mate for seductive purposes to ignore, but ignore he did. He was having a hard time to just NOT take this woman here and now, forgetting about this dancing thing, but as he was upstairs getting ready her earlier words had rung through his head. The slight would be his even if he bedded Kagome, he would still have to deal with the ‘chew toy’ and his sibling. He was brought from his musings when he heard her slightly husky yet sultry voice.
“Your car of mine?” she asked him.
“Mine.” he stated, “But seeing as how you know where it is, you may drive if you’d like.” he stated as he walked over to her and offered her his hand. She looked at it and then up to the demon lord. “I don’t bite.” he said after a moment, but finished with, “…often, unless you like it like that.” He smirked as he felt her aura flare a bit, her arousal reach newer heights and a light blush kiss her heated skin. Taking his hand he pulled her up effortlessly, and into his body, her scent was like nothing he’d ever smelt before not even the most enchanting demoness in the middle of a hard heat smelled as good as she did. Playful grey blue eyes looked up to him when she answered.
“As I’ve said before, I wouldn’t know. On the other hand I wouldn’t mind finding out if I do like it or not.” she said smuggly before continuing. “But you may drive your car, I’m sure you’ve noticed the considerable height difference. You’d have to reset everything the moment I got out of the seat, and besides that… I like to speed.“ she said innocently.
“You like things fast?” he intoned, knowing she didn’t miss the innuendo.
“It depends on what I’m supposed to be liking.” she answered slyly as she walked out the front door, forgetting her camera on the sofa. She waited next to Sesshomaru as he locked up his home, she had to admit it was a bit of a shock to know that someone of his status lived in a modest home, granted he had lots of space between his home and the ones on either side she couldn’t fault him for that. She had taken time to look around, the primary color of the house seemed to be white, maybe a light color like that, crimson, and black. She had seen his Tv, it was large, and a flat screen, state of the art so to speak, he had a massive dvd collection, she was amused to see a large collection of martial arts films, as well as American drama, one particularly worn looking case belonging to ‘The Godfather.’ There were plants around so it looked livable. She didn’t really ventured around the rest of the home, she was not a rude person, and though she had barged into his home uninvited, she certainly wasn’t going to go looking around with out his okay.
“Sesshomaru.” she stated as he turned to lead her to his garage.
“Hn?” he asked as he walked to the separate building that held his two cars.
“I wanted to apologize for barging in uninvited earlier, it was rather rude of me.” she said as he finally made it to the side door, unlocking it to go in, she followed.
“It is of no concern, you had valuable information. This Sesshomaru cannot say that it was a bad intrusion. Shall we?” he said motioning to the again moderate but still luxurious vehicle. He, like a gentleman, opened her door and allowed time for her to seat herself carefully, but slowly securing her door, walking to the other side he sat in his own seat and started up the car, they buckled up and he was out and heading towards the highway. “Which way?” he asked.
“Towards Harajuku, its just on the edge.” she said as the car made off.
“What kind of music do you like?” he asked.
“Many things, I don’t think I could pick just one kind to like. I do tend to favor music that I can move my body to, beyond being another hobby, dancing allows me to keep in shape. And its free, so it works out.” she answered.
“Photography and dancing, any other hobbies I should know about?” he intoned. She smiled at him genuinely, he’d learned more about her personally in the hour that they’d began speaking then Inuyasha had learned in the first six months of their lousy three year relationship. She answered all of his questions while he answered most of her questions. They even spoke of their childhoods and work. He was amazed to find out that she was a gymnast, and skilled in the art of war, it honestly made him want to spar with the woman before throwing her down and having his way with her while she lay in a pretzel pose.
She too was amazed to find that he had lived through her favorite era, ‘The Warring State’s era,’ and was actually going dancing with a human no less, this was more then likely unheard of back then. The idea had her wondering what he’d look like in his full feudal era regalia, just the idea of yards of silk and swords had her running hot, and her arousal spiking. Sesshomaru on the other hand was not having such an easy night, her constant spiking scent was making him want to take her in every way a male could have a female, and to think it had spiked talking about times gone by, she was only twenty four to his near eight hundred. Like all things though, age was nothing but a number, and with her miko powers he would e able to attach her life and soul to his own, causing her to sustain life, sure he didn’t know much about her but he had forever to find out.
Kagome gave him better directions as they neared the club, she had been correct it was in the bohemian area of Tokyo known as Harajuku. Many demons lived there solely so they did not have to cover up their odd behaviors, lifestyles or appearance. Humans accepted things here far easier, and in fact embraced them to a point that was nearly scary. To her credit the club was out of the way, and if you didn’t know it was there he would swear you’d miss it due to the colorful lights and circus- like extravagance of the area.
Walking in he could see the club had character… an aged charm even, it was like an old pretty dirty thing lost in time, French in decor, there was a live band that he wondered if they ever left the building. There was a barley there scent of sweet cigarette smoke, that he normally didn’t like but chased with the very sweet scents of wine, and supple dinners cooked in gingers and other herbs left the club smelling like something rustic and primal. It was not cold, nor was it hot in this club, but it was very homely and he could see why she liked being here, it was in fact like being in the seclusion of your home while being out in public.
Kagome led the way to a large table in the back where four individuals sat, two human females, one human male, and a male kitsune demon, she introduced everyone first while taking off her trench. “Everyone this is Sesshomaru, His older half brother, Sesshomaru this is Rin,” she said offering her hand towards the pretty younger human female who looked to be about twenty two with deep chocolate hair and sienna shaded eyes. The young woman shot an odd glance at Sesshomaru, as though he looked familiar and then to Kagome‘s dress, before nodding politely while Kagome continued. “This is Shippo.” she said motioning to the male fox demon, who had deep jade green eyes, a dark chocolate suit similar to his own on, as well as bright rust colored hair. Again Kagome went on, “This is Sango.” she said motioning to the slightly older then she looking woman who had redish-brown hair, and deep chocolate eyes wearing a little black dress, finally she finished with, “And this gentleman is Miroku.” She said motioning to the male with violet eyes and dark brown hair as well.
“It is a pleasure to meet you.” intoned Sesshomaru as Kagome took as seat and he followed. They all started chatting while Sesshomaru sat and watched, it was easy to see that these were close friends, they seemed to be able to converse as though they had known one another for life, and yet they were kind enough to try and include him in their conversation, something most people never tried to so, for he usually intimidated them. It was also easy to see that these humans along with the kit were not so easily intimidated, hell they couldn’t be being Kagome’s friends, but he didn’t know about that yet. The waiter came around and got them all drinks while the girls got up from their chairs and dragged Kagome off to the bathroom to ‘powder her nose.’ With that the two appointed big brothers of Kagome, as well as the girls ‘other halves’ started their interrogation on Sesshomaru.
“So Sesshomaru, how do you know our little Kags?” asked the fox, not at all caring who this male was, but more so why he was with the girl he called sister.
“Actually we work in the same building, different floors, besides that she was with my brother until recently.” he answered honestly. He didn’t like having to answer but for some reason he felt as though this was Kagome’s pack, these would be the people he would have to deal with if he took her into his life. And so he resolved that he would put up with them, after all they wouldn’t be good friends if they didn’t sniff at the new male in the young woman’s life.
“Recently, so she’s finally seen the light?” asked the older looking human male. Who Sesshomaru also noticed had on a black suit with deep violet tie on a black shirt to go with his eyes.
“Hn. I’m not sure if she wants to go into detail, I will only say that we have a mutual agreement and goal in mind.” he answered. Miroku could respect this answer, he respected it because the male demon lord, respected his friend. Anyone else would have spilled Kagome’s business which would not be the honorable thing to do, and yet he had stated just that they had something in common but it was Kagome’s business to share not his own. He liked this answer greatly.
With the Ladies…
“Okay spill it!” said Sango after checking the stalls to verify there were no other ears in the bathroom. Rin checking her gloss while she looked at Kagome via the mirror.
“What exactly do you want to know?” asked Kagome with a smirk.
“Well for one thing,” started Rin. “Your wearing that dress, and you only wear that dress when your pissed.”
“Yeah, not only that but you come in on the arm of, albeit possibly the sexiest male demon I have ever seen--” started Sango.
“Save MY Shippo!” interrupted Rin cheerily.
“--Except her Shippo,” added Sango shaking her head at the youngest member of their click, “Who just happens to be Inuy--His, older half brother. What that’d jackass do this time for you to have to go to this extreme?”
“Yanno when I left you guys at the shrine today?” they nodded yes, “I went home after a few errands, earlier then I guess he thought I’d be home. He was with Kikyo, in the shower. He looked upset, and well she looked like the whore she is.” said Kagome as she pulled the knot out of her hair, and fluffed it so that it looked as though she had just gotten out of the throws of sexuality, and very Amazonian.
“Oh my kami!” Kags are you okay?” asked Rin. While Sango balled her fists in anger. Kagome was possibly the hardest working person she knew, she literally had more things going on then anyone individual Sango knew, and whereas most people had hobbies that occupied their time, Kagome had responsibly, very little of her life was actually her own, and she worked very hard to keep her personal relationships going strong. Kikyo on the other hand had since Sango had known Kagome gone out of her way to make Kagome’s life that much harder. They had met in the program long ago, and even though Kagome couldn’t tell her family and other friends what she was really doing Kikyo had not made her friends life an easier.
“I’ll kill him, then I‘ll murder her.” SAngo growled out causing Kagome to raise a brow in question.
“As much as I’d love that we can’t really mix business with pleasure dear, besides Kikyo was with Sesshomaru. And now Sesshomaru’s here with me. And Inuyasha will be bringing Kikyo here latter, so the fun has yet to begin.” Kagome said with a nearly wicked grin.
“Kagome!” both females squealed.
“How do you know they’ll show up?” asked Rin now overly excited for the nights events.
“I went to Sesshomaru’s house before coming here, I left my digital camera with all the photo’s on his sofa. She’ll be nosy she always is, and she’ll see them, and she’ll be pissed that he knows. If I know my sister, which sadly I do, she’ll get angry enough to try and throw it in my face that she had him before I did. Which means they’ll show up together, or apart, either way they’ll both know that Sesshomaru and I have talked things over.”
“Kagome, sometimes if I didn’t know any better I’d swear you were evil.” said Sango with a giggle.
“So Kagome?” asked Rin
“Hn?”
“Just what ARE you doing this Sesshomaru?” finished Rin with a wide grin, knowing fully well what having a demon lover could be like, truly the girl was hanging around Miroku far too much, Kagome knew she’d have to scold both Sango and him later for this.
“You know my situation well enough Rin, you had something similar. What do you and your mate tend to do after we all go out dancing?” Kagome asked with a grin of her own, causing Rin to squeal.
“Your going to mate him?” asked Sango incredulously. “ You barely know him!”
“Maybe. I have yet to see how he dances, if he can move his body as well as he moves his mouth then probably. Oh! that’s what he was talking about.” Kagome exclaimed having remembered now what offer he was referring to. Well she was in for it now, hopefully he could dance, she really did love to tango, and ramba.
“Maybe?” they asked in unison.
Across town….
Inuyasha couldn’t believe his luck, he’d been with Kagome for three years, three years of cold showers, three years of never being able to have her, and the first time he ever took a dip somewhere else he got caught. What was worse was that she had her camera, and had taken many pictures of the two of them, and had calmly walked out. It was her calm nature that had alerted him that she was beyond reasoning with, any rational woman, bitch, female, upon finding her intended in the arms of another would have lost it, and yet she had given them a bored look and just left. That had been hours ago. Inuyasha had tried her cell, and her mother’s and yet nothing had come of it, he’d tried both Sango and Rin, even Shippo and Miroku, none of them knew where she was but they had all jumped down his throat wondering what he had done. He didn’t want to face them either, gods all four of them were like one furious Kagome separated into four.
He had never really known what the five of them had in common, there was nothing that he was aware of that placed them all on common ground, and yet they were friends, and closer still like siblings should be, though the others were dating, two if them mated, they all reacted in kind as true family should. It was a subject that had never gone very far with Kagome, and he had accepted that, but it had always been strange to him. He knew without a doubt that she was with them, now, at that damn dancing club she always tried to get him to take her, the same place she would end up when she was pissed with him. He didn’t want to go there, he knew he’d have to face them, one pissed off Kagome was enough, four separated that acted as one was too much.
Kikyo sat dressed next to a pant wearing Inuyasha, she had been a willing partner in this diabolical and yet she kind of felt bad, Inuyasha was albeit still a cheater, was a good man, he had a weakness for the body and she had exploited him for it. She knew her sister was fidget when it came to the bedroom, in fact if she knew correctly which she guessed was correct, Kagome was still a virgin at twenty four. Her own love life was not bad, no in fact it was wonderful, she had a demon that could sate her in ways one could only dream of, and yet, he lacked emotion, he lacked warmth when they were together.
Her taiyoukai was gorgeous, not unlike the male to her right save the ears, her taiyoukai did not have those cute ears, no he was cold and a bastard. She’d walked in more then once to be called ‘chew toy,’ though he obviously didn’t seem to notice he’d called her such, which only meant that he called her by that name often, leaving her to wonder if he was the wrong male even just to lay with. Sure he could provide for her, sure he was beautiful enough to be jealous over, but he didn’t love her now would he ever, he didn’t hold her afterwards and often he wanted her to shower quickly, as though her scent offended him. She knew soon their time would come to and end and she would be the broken one for it.
“Are you alright?” Kikyo asked quietly, looking at the hanyou next to her, the hanyou that was passionate beyond reason when he had been within her body, who had filled her like her taiyoukai but with more passion and heat then the cold fish could ever muster. She wanted to comfort him, maybe if things didn’t work out with him and her sister she would come in to pick up the pieces, she was tired of the fast life, and she had forgotten what had caused her strife with her sister, it was a long heated war between the two that she could only remember started long ago. It was the game they played, Kagome did something that made her parents proud, stealing any and all attention, and she did anything she could to make Kagome suffer. Kikyo had never stopped to think of how this all effected her twin, no she just knew that Kagome got praised and was loved, and Kikyo got, ‘Why can’t you be more like Kagome?’ Sighing to herself at the thought, she hated what she had become, what she had done in her life, to herself, to her sister, to her family, she especially hated what she did to this man. He looked hurt and dejected like someone had just shot his puppy.
“Do you think she’ll take me back?” he asked after a little while. She sighed again, of coarse he wanted to go back. She wanted to say no, she wanted to dash his hopes so that she could be there to comfort this male, she actually really liked him. Unlike the cold demon that was waiting for her at home.
“My sister is an unusually forgiving person, I’m sure she will at least allow you to explain.” answered Kikyo while rubbing calming circles on his back. Though honestly Kagome had a mean side when provoked, so it was more likely that she would not, but she didn’t want to tell him that.
“She’ll hate me.” he said quietly thinking of all the things Kagome would say to him.
“I don’t think she knows how to hate anything unless its me.” Kikyo said looking away from him. A few minutes passed before he asked the inevitable.
“Why would she hate you?”
“Why wouldn’t she? I am her elder sister, I should love her and take care of her, and yet I have gone out of my way for the majority of our lives, for reasons I can’t even remember at this point, to make her life miserable. Had it been another female that had been with you I would tell you she would take you back without a second thought, but it was me you were with, and she didn’t even make a fuss. I can tell you now knowing that much about my sister, we have only begun to see the wrath of Kagome. Once when we were teenagers I happened to ruin her prom night, she left crying and was a laughing stock at school, the next day I actually went to apologize, but she didn’t let me get a word in before she slapped me so hard it dislocated my jaw, I swear her eyes were glowing at the time. I had a bruise for a week. She hasn’t said more then five words to me at one time since then, we‘re like passing ships in the night we know we‘re there but we stay the hell away from one another. We don’t even go to family functions together for more then an hour. As it works out, she shows up early and I show late, we’re there just long enough to fake smiles for the camera, if their taking photo’s.” she said frowning at the thought.
“That sounds like my older brother and me.” Inuyasha said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
“I didn’t know you had an elder brother.” she said.
“Yeah, Sesshoumaru a real bastard.” he said.
“Sesshomaru?” she asked suddenly paling.
“Yeah ya know him?” he asked.
“Oh fuck, we’re going to die.” she said burring her face in her hands as she started to cry. One of her biggest regrets, save her sex life was getting involved with that demon, possessive didn’t even begin to describe his actions. Inuyasha was concerned he didn’t see what his big brother had to do with her, or why she thought they were going to die, but he needed to find out, because suddenly in the pit of his stomach he felt a growing pit of despair.
“Sesshomaru and I… We’re… Oh Kami, what have we done? He‘ll kill me and oh my god!” she said finally letting go and crying. Inuyasha paled as well, could Kikyo be his brother’s prized ‘chew toy’?
“Fuck.” was all he whispered taking in this new bit of information, it was going to take an act of god to save them from the people that were supposed to love them, because if Kagome had a the wrath of a god, Sesshomaru’s wrath was that of the devil himself.
When he came down stairs again not too long after he had ascended up those dark wooden planks, she had her black knee length trench coat on, her long locks pulled up in to some crazed knot, literally, she had no pins or bows exposed from the raven mass of tress, and yet she looked regal.

Kagome gave him better directions as they neared the club, she had been correct it was in the bohemian area of Tokyo known as Harajuku. Many demons lived there solely so they did not have to cover up their odd behaviors, lifestyles or appearance. Humans accepted things here far easier, and in fact embraced them to a point that was nearly scary. To her credit the club was out of the way, and if you didn’t know it was there he would swear you’d miss it due to the colorful lights and circus- like extravagance of the area.
Walking in he could see the club had character… an aged charm even, it was like an old pretty dirty thing lost in time, French in decor, there was a live band that he wondered if they ever left the building. There was a barley there scent of sweet cigarette smoke, that he normally didn’t like but chased with the very sweet scents of wine, and supple dinners cooked in gingers and other herbs left the club smelling like something rustic and primal. It was not cold, nor was it hot in this club, but it was very homely and he could see why she liked being here, it was in fact like being in the seclusion of your home while being out in public.
Kagome led the way to a large table in the back where four individuals sat, two human females, one human male, and a male kitsune demon, she introduced everyone first while taking off her trench. “Everyone this is Sesshomaru, His older half brother, Sesshomaru this is Rin,” she said offering her hand towards the pretty younger human female who looked to be about twenty two with deep chocolate hair and sienna shaded eyes. The young woman shot an odd glance at Sesshomaru, as though he looked familiar and then to Kagome‘s dress, before nodding politely while Kagome continued. “This is Shippo.” she said motioning to the male fox demon, who had deep jade green eyes, a dark chocolate suit similar to his own on, as well as bright rust colored hair. Again Kagome went on, “This is Sango.” she said motioning to the slightly older then she looking woman who had redish-brown hair, and deep chocolate eyes wearing a little black dress, finally she finished with, “And this gentleman is Miroku.” She said motioning to the male with violet eyes and dark brown hair as well.
“It is a pleasure to meet you.” intoned Sesshomaru as Kagome took as seat and he followed. They all started chatting while Sesshomaru sat and watched, it was easy to see that these were close friends, they seemed to be able to converse as though they had known one another for life, and yet they were kind enough to try and include him in their conversation, something most people never tried to so, for he usually intimidated them. It was also easy to see that these humans along with the kit were not so easily intimidated, hell they couldn’t be being Kagome’s friends, but he didn’t know about that yet. The waiter came around and got them all drinks while the girls got up from their chairs and dragged Kagome off to the bathroom to ‘powder her nose.’ With that the two appointed big brothers of Kagome, as well as the girls ‘other halves’ started their interrogation on Sesshomaru.
“So Sesshomaru, how do you know our little Kags?” asked the fox, not at all caring who this male was, but more so why he was with the girl he called sister.
“Actually we work in the same building, different floors, besides that she was with my brother until recently.” he answered honestly. He didn’t like having to answer but for some reason he felt as though this was Kagome’s pack, these would be the people he would have to deal with if he took her into his life. And so he resolved that he would put up with them, after all they wouldn’t be good friends if they didn’t sniff at the new male in the young woman’s life.
“Recently, so she’s finally seen the light?” asked the older looking human male. Who Sesshomaru also noticed had on a black suit with deep violet tie on a black shirt to go with his eyes.
“Hn. I’m not sure if she wants to go into detail, I will only say that we have a mutual agreement and goal in mind.” he answered. Miroku could respect this answer, he respected it because the male demon lord, respected his friend. Anyone else would have spilled Kagome’s business which would not be the honorable thing to do, and yet he had stated just that they had something in common but it was Kagome’s business to share not his own. He liked this answer greatly.
With the Ladies…
“Okay spill it!” said Sango after checking the stalls to verify there were no other ears in the bathroom. Rin checking her gloss while she looked at Kagome via the mirror.
“What exactly do you want to know?” asked Kagome with a smirk.
“Well for one thing,” started Rin. “Your wearing that dress, and you only wear that dress when your pissed.”
“Yeah, not only that but you come in on the arm of, albeit possibly the sexiest male demon I have ever seen--” started Sango.
“Save MY Shippo!” interrupted Rin cheerily.
“--Except her Shippo,” added Sango shaking her head at the youngest member of their click, “Who just happens to be Inuy--His, older half brother. What that’d jackass do this time for you to have to go to this extreme?”
“Yanno when I left you guys at the shrine today?” they nodded yes, “I went home after a few errands, earlier then I guess he thought I’d be home. He was with Kikyo, in the shower. He looked upset, and well she looked like the whore she is.” said Kagome as she pulled the knot out of her hair, and fluffed it so that it looked as though she had just gotten out of the throws of sexuality, and very Amazonian.
“Oh my kami!” Kags are you okay?” asked Rin. While Sango balled her fists in anger. Kagome was possibly the hardest working person she knew, she literally had more things going on then anyone individual Sango knew, and whereas most people had hobbies that occupied their time, Kagome had responsibly, very little of her life was actually her own, and she worked very hard to keep her personal relationships going strong. Kikyo on the other hand had since Sango had known Kagome gone out of her way to make Kagome’s life that much harder. They had met in the program long ago, and even though Kagome couldn’t tell her family and other friends what she was really doing Kikyo had not made her friends life an easier.
“I’ll kill him, then I‘ll murder her.” SAngo growled out causing Kagome to raise a brow in question.
“As much as I’d love that we can’t really mix business with pleasure dear, besides Kikyo was with Sesshomaru. And now Sesshomaru’s here with me. And Inuyasha will be bringing Kikyo here latter, so the fun has yet to begin.” Kagome said with a nearly wicked grin.
“Kagome!” both females squealed.
“How do you know they’ll show up?” asked Rin now overly excited for the nights events.
“I went to Sesshomaru’s house before coming here, I left my digital camera with all the photo’s on his sofa. She’ll be nosy she always is, and she’ll see them, and she’ll be pissed that he knows. If I know my sister, which sadly I do, she’ll get angry enough to try and throw it in my face that she had him before I did. Which means they’ll show up together, or apart, either way they’ll both know that Sesshomaru and I have talked things over.”
“Kagome, sometimes if I didn’t know any better I’d swear you were evil.” said Sango with a giggle.
“So Kagome?” asked Rin
“Hn?”
“Just what ARE you doing this Sesshomaru?” finished Rin with a wide grin, knowing fully well what having a demon lover could be like, truly the girl was hanging around Miroku far too much, Kagome knew she’d have to scold both Sango and him later for this.
“You know my situation well enough Rin, you had something similar. What do you and your mate tend to do after we all go out dancing?” Kagome asked with a grin of her own, causing Rin to squeal.
“Your going to mate him?” asked Sango incredulously. “ You barely know him!”
“Maybe. I have yet to see how he dances, if he can move his body as well as he moves his mouth then probably. Oh! that’s what he was talking about.” Kagome exclaimed having remembered now what offer he was referring to. Well she was in for it now, hopefully he could dance, she really did love to tango, and ramba.
“Maybe?” they asked in unison.
Across town….
Inuyasha couldn’t believe his luck, he’d been with Kagome for three years, three years of cold showers, three years of never being able to have her, and the first time he ever took a dip somewhere else he got caught. What was worse was that she had her camera, and had taken many pictures of the two of them, and had calmly walked out. It was her calm nature that had alerted him that she was beyond reasoning with, any rational woman, bitch, female, upon finding her intended in the arms of another would have lost it, and yet she had given them a bored look and just left. That had been hours ago. Inuyasha had tried her cell, and her mother’s and yet nothing had come of it, he’d tried both Sango and Rin, even Shippo and Miroku, none of them knew where she was but they had all jumped down his throat wondering what he had done. He didn’t want to face them either, gods all four of them were like one furious Kagome separated into four.
He had never really known what the five of them had in common, there was nothing that he was aware of that placed them all on common ground, and yet they were friends, and closer still like siblings should be, though the others were dating, two if them mated, they all reacted in kind as true family should. It was a subject that had never gone very far with Kagome, and he had accepted that, but it had always been strange to him. He knew without a doubt that she was with them, now, at that damn dancing club she always tried to get him to take her, the same place she would end up when she was pissed with him. He didn’t want to go there, he knew he’d have to face them, one pissed off Kagome was enough, four separated that acted as one was too much.
Kikyo sat dressed next to a pant wearing Inuyasha, she had been a willing partner in this diabolical and yet she kind of felt bad, Inuyasha was albeit still a cheater, was a good man, he had a weakness for the body and she had exploited him for it. She knew her sister was fidget when it came to the bedroom, in fact if she knew correctly which she guessed was correct, Kagome was still a virgin at twenty four. Her own love life was not bad, no in fact it was wonderful, she had a demon that could sate her in ways one could only dream of, and yet, he lacked emotion, he lacked warmth when they were together.
Her taiyoukai was gorgeous, not unlike the male to her right save the ears, her taiyoukai did not have those cute ears, no he was cold and a bastard. She’d walked in more then once to be called ‘chew toy,’ though he obviously didn’t seem to notice he’d called her such, which only meant that he called her by that name often, leaving her to wonder if he was the wrong male even just to lay with. Sure he could provide for her, sure he was beautiful enough to be jealous over, but he didn’t love her now would he ever, he didn’t hold her afterwards and often he wanted her to shower quickly, as though her scent offended him. She knew soon their time would come to and end and she would be the broken one for it.
“Are you alright?” Kikyo asked quietly, looking at the hanyou next to her, the hanyou that was passionate beyond reason when he had been within her body, who had filled her like her taiyoukai but with more passion and heat then the cold fish could ever muster. She wanted to comfort him, maybe if things didn’t work out with him and her sister she would come in to pick up the pieces, she was tired of the fast life, and she had forgotten what had caused her strife with her sister, it was a long heated war between the two that she could only remember started long ago. It was the game they played, Kagome did something that made her parents proud, stealing any and all attention, and she did anything she could to make Kagome suffer. Kikyo had never stopped to think of how this all effected her twin, no she just knew that Kagome got praised and was loved, and Kikyo got, ‘Why can’t you be more like Kagome?’ Sighing to herself at the thought, she hated what she had become, what she had done in her life, to herself, to her sister, to her family, she especially hated what she did to this man. He looked hurt and dejected like someone had just shot his puppy.
“Do you think she’ll take me back?” he asked after a little while. She sighed again, of coarse he wanted to go back. She wanted to say no, she wanted to dash his hopes so that she could be there to comfort this male, she actually really liked him. Unlike the cold demon that was waiting for her at home.
“My sister is an unusually forgiving person, I’m sure she will at least allow you to explain.” answered Kikyo while rubbing calming circles on his back. Though honestly Kagome had a mean side when provoked, so it was more likely that she would not, but she didn’t want to tell him that.
“She’ll hate me.” he said quietly thinking of all the things Kagome would say to him.
“I don’t think she knows how to hate anything unless its me.” Kikyo said looking away from him. A few minutes passed before he asked the inevitable.
“Why would she hate you?”
“Why wouldn’t she? I am her elder sister, I should love her and take care of her, and yet I have gone out of my way for the majority of our lives, for reasons I can’t even remember at this point, to make her life miserable. Had it been another female that had been with you I would tell you she would take you back without a second thought, but it was me you were with, and she didn’t even make a fuss. I can tell you now knowing that much about my sister, we have only begun to see the wrath of Kagome. Once when we were teenagers I happened to ruin her prom night, she left crying and was a laughing stock at school, the next day I actually went to apologize, but she didn’t let me get a word in before she slapped me so hard it dislocated my jaw, I swear her eyes were glowing at the time. I had a bruise for a week. She hasn’t said more then five words to me at one time since then, we‘re like passing ships in the night we know we‘re there but we stay the hell away from one another. We don’t even go to family functions together for more then an hour. As it works out, she shows up early and I show late, we’re there just long enough to fake smiles for the camera, if their taking photo’s.” she said frowning at the thought.
“That sounds like my older brother and me.” Inuyasha said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
“I didn’t know you had an elder brother.” she said.
“Yeah, Sesshoumaru a real bastard.” he said.
“Sesshomaru?” she asked suddenly paling.
“Yeah ya know him?” he asked.
“Oh fuck, we’re going to die.” she said burring her face in her hands as she started to cry. One of her biggest regrets, save her sex life was getting involved with that demon, possessive didn’t even begin to describe his actions. Inuyasha was concerned he didn’t see what his big brother had to do with her, or why she thought they were going to die, but he needed to find out, because suddenly in the pit of his stomach he felt a growing pit of despair.
“Sesshomaru and I… We’re… Oh Kami, what have we done? He‘ll kill me and oh my god!” she said finally letting go and crying. Inuyasha paled as well, could Kikyo be his brother’s prized ‘chew toy’?
“Fuck.” was all he whispered taking in this new bit of information, it was going to take an act of god to save them from the people that were supposed to love them, because if Kagome had a the wrath of a god, Sesshomaru’s wrath was that of the devil himself.
