InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Drama of Edo High: A Modern Tale ❯ Dancing, Punching, and Kissing ( Chapter 7 )

CHAPTER 7: DANCING, PUNCHING AND KISSING

The silver Mercedes sailed down the streetlamp lit streets, the bass of the stereo heard before the car was even in view. Miroku guided the car and his passengers down the familiar route to their school. The radio was tuned to a popular station, pleasing the girls. In the back, they were singing and laughing along, occasionally trying to wiggle bit in their seatbelts and seats. Passersby gave the vehicle a curious look as it approached, but smiled and laughed as they saw two girls lip-syncing and moving to the music in the back seats. The boys only laughed when the girls decided to sing particularly loud and annoying.

They reached the school, Miroku easing it in nice as not to scratch anything. His parents would kill him. As they neared the doors, they could hear the first beats of a song. They went in, and paid for couples at the entry table. As they entered the gym, the girls gasped and the boys nodded approvingly.

The gum was dark, with pulsing lights in multicolor. Chairs were set up along the side fro resting people, and a condiments table could be seen near the door. An uncountable number of students were on the dance floor, jiving and dancing to the techno music, beeps and pounding drums filling the room. The DJ could be seen on a raised platform, turn tables spinning. He was flipping through CDs, a huge pair of headphones caught between one ear and his shoulder.

"Wow, this is great!" Sango yelled over the music.

"It only going to get better!" Kagome yelled back and dragged her laughing friend on to the dance floor. As the music pulsed through their heads, they felt the need to dance. Inuyasha and Miroku felt it too, but controlled it better. They found they girls dancing with some other girls they found, chatting excitedly with each other. With his sensitive hearing, Inuyasha could make out that their friends were commenting positively on the girl's outfits.

He smiled to himself. He sure liked what Kagome was wearing. Though not revealing, the outfit still brought out her figure, and as her hips rolled to the beat, he watched to his leisure. God she was pretty. He liked the way her hair looked tousled and collected at the same time, and they way she smiled and laughed as her group talked about something. He saw her do a sexy little move, and some of the blood leaked from his head. To where he didn't wanted to think about.

Miroku was thinking along the same lines. He watched as his beautiful date danced with her friends and hoped he'd get some time with her in the `middle' of the floor. Maybe even outside. But he much preferred the `middle'. The `middle' was the center of the dancing, while not so serious dancers stayed out of it where the teachers chaperoned. In the `middle', the real dancing went on. It was hot and close, and couples got intimate with their dancing. Every once in a while, a boy could be seen leading a giggling girl away form the gym and to somewhere `private'. If only Miroku could be one of them.

About an hour went by, Kagome and Sango stopping periodically for a drink or to rest, then pulled the boys out for a couple of dances. No slow songs played at this dance, since the theme of it provided fast beat songs. The girls giggled as they dragged the boys back out for another dance, but one had other plans. Kagome and Inuyasha saw Miroku leaned towards Sango and say something in her ear. She gasped and blushed hugely, and Miroku feared it had been the wrong thing to say, but Sango darted her eyes back and forth before tugging a surprised Miroku to the `middle'. Inuyasha grinned as he saw where they were going.

"Hey! Where are they heading?" Kagome yelled.

"Don't worry, their only dancing!" he replied. Then considered. Would she want to dance with him like that? But he wasn't sure if she even liked that type of dancing.

Kagome on the other hand, was getting a bit flustered. Though he danced with her, he never got really close. Was he afraid to? She sighed slightly. She wasn't an innocent know nothing, she knew how to really dance, but did he?

Inuyasha's nose twitched. His eyes narrowed as he recognized the wolf demon's scent enter the room. Not to worry. He had bigger troubles. His suspicions were confirmed as the scent of wilted flowers neared. Kikyou. He panicked at bit as he turned and saw her heading his way with a saucy smile. God, he really didn't want to deal with this now. And he didn't want to leave Kagome alone. But if he ran, Kouga would probably find Kagome, and he be made to look like an idiot. Deciding in a split second (and completing his mission), Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the center. Her eyes widen a bit but she followed. Where he taking her?

Kikyou gasped as she saw Inuyasha drag the girl towards the `middle'. What is he doing?

And why didn't he ever do that with her?

As they went further in, Kagome got closer to him. The temperature was rising slightly, making it hotter. Bodies bumped as they compacted in the middle. She glanced at a few couples and saw them almost on top of each other dancing the way she had died to. Then it clicked. Inuyasha wanted to `dance' with her. A small smile tugged her lips.

A song came on, almost nothing but drums and pulsing techno beats.

(If any of you have seen the Matrix Reloaded, you'll remember the dancing scene in Zion. That's the song I'm talking about.)

Inuyasha listened as the music pulsed around him, making his heart pound along with it. He liked it, it was simple and almost primitive, and something that spoke to all. As he felt the air around them grow heated, his nose was swamped with the smell of sweat from dancing and he blushed, as he smelled a few horny teenagers. But no matter. He had Kagome all to himself. He focused, and her sweet scent flooded his nose. The presence of her body heat made his blood beat faster.

Kagome felt the beat of the bass vibrate in the floor and up her legs and body. Her heart tattooed faster, and she became increasingly aware of his hand. Feeling the need again, she started to pumped her hips, and they bodies around them drew them closer. His head was getting fuzzy, and his sensitive ears magnified the music. He felt his body react to its driving drums and he turned to see if she wanted to dance. But she already was. She flowed smoothly, her hips snaking like a whip. She looked up at him and gave him what he perceived as a teasing smile. Getting into it, he slipped a hand around her back and drew her closer, his body started to move with hers. Kagome felt the tingling instantly, his hand searing her skin, and it drove her on. As the drums and bass and each other became all they knew, they drew closer and closer, both of Inuyasha hands resting on her hips. She brought her arms up to rest on his shoulders. Though the crowd was bearable, their combined heat was driving both of them harder. His grip tightened as she ground against him lightly. They were chest to chest, each one going on as if it was the only thing that mattered.

Kagome thought she was going to explode. The heat radiating off him was warming her, and a new sensation started in her gut. She had never felt this before, but she didn't want it to stop, making her mind short circuit a few times. She was positive that his hands were burning her to the bone, the tingling growing stronger. She trembled slightly as she was pushed more up to him and ground against him. Oh god, what was he doing to her? She had never felt this hot in her life. She should stop, but needed to go on. She felt his chest shake a little as he growled when she ground against him again. So she wasn't the only one.

All he saw was her. All he smelled was her. And most importantly, all he felt was her. Her presence this close to him was driving his senses wild, and he felt himself slipping slowly into her warmth (if you think anything of that, you a prev). His uncontrolled growl rumbled and he pulled her closer still. He was met with her hot breath breezing past his neck. He could smell the arousal flowing off her, and only made him more frenzied knowing it was he making her that way. It's been a few minutes since his brain functioned. Their faces were mere inches away. God what was this girl doing to him? He eyes her rosy lips, and felt his tongue lick his own. He wondered what she would taste like. He gazed into her eyes, and felt his lungs back up in heat. He saw that she was slowly going mad and if he didn't do anything soon she would. Grinning, he slowly lowered his mouth towards hers. She drew up to meet him. They were so close…

But of course, fate had to ruin it for our two terribly hot lovers.

"What do you think your doing mutt face!" Kouga hollered at him and shoved him away from Kagome. He flung Inuyasha a few feet away.

Kagome backed up in surprise as Kouga came into her line of vision. What the…then Kouga walked away from and a crowd formed around the two males. She was stuck on the outside, but could hear every word.

Inuyasha got up with a snarl, and Kouga matched it. "What do you want wolf?"

"For you to stay away form my woman!" Kouga growled deeply at Inuyasha.

"What! Your woman? Keep dreaming!" Inuyasha snorted.

"She is mine, I claimed her. I saw what you were doing with her, and I think you forced her to do that. I'll teach you." Kouga spread his claws and took a stance.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. No one talked about Kagome that way. "I've had enough of you, you're going down."

Without hesitation, the two demons flew at each other. They each managed to dodge each other's blows, mad beyond thinking. A crowd formed around, making a wide circle. The students knew better than to interrupt an `Inuyasha and Kouga' fight. Even the DJ had stopped paying attention to his music to see what was going on.

In the crowd, Kagome heard what Kouga said. His woman? Is he kidding? Oh no, that's it. He's getting his ass beat. Kagome heard as the boys attacked each other, and she pushed through the people forcefully. She was mad as hell and Kouga was the lucky winner of the beat down. She just made it to them as Kouga took a swing.

Kouga snarled and retracted his claws. Dog boy needed to be taught a lesson. He flew at Inuyasha and swung at him with his claws. But he didn't see Kagome come out of the crowd, steaming, and came to block them. But he swung anyways.

Kagome eyes went wide as she saw Kouga heading her way. She had about two seconds of shock before commonsense took over. She leaned back fast and turned her head right as his hand went zooming past her. She didn't feel them cut. And she stayed that way for a moment.

Inuyasha saw the swing coming and went to block it. But Kagome came out and he was about to push her when she ducked away in time. he grabbed Kouga's wrist before it froze. Like Kouga, he looked to Kagome in surprise as she stayed in the position she used to duck. Every one gasped, and the boys panted.

Everything was quiet. No one spoke. Kouga's eyes were wide and scared, and Inuyasha was shocked. Kagome breathed a few deep breaths before she felt the sting. Like paper cuts, three red lines appeared on her cheek and started to drip slowly. She clenched her teeth, seething, and came up slowly. Inuaysha smelled the blood before he saw it on her cheek. But instead of being afraid and shaking, Kagome was collected and coldly infuriated. She brought a hand up and wiped some blood that trickled down her cheek. She stared it, anger rising by the second.

Kouga gasped as he saw the slices on her face, and a clod feeling crept into his gut. She gave him a searing glare.

He had actually hit her, she thought. She tucked her tongue in her cheek and narrowed her eyes at the panicked wolf. The son of a bitch. She balled her fist in fury, anger seeping through her veins. The mother fucker actually had the nerve to swing.

As they continued to stare at her in silence, Inuyasha felt his neck prickle. He looked down and his eyes widened. From Kagome balled fist came a white mist, curling around her hand. Kagome had no idea that her young miko powers were collecting on her hand, but she did know one thing. Pay back is sweet.

Kouga seemed the first to snap out of it and quickly went up to a furious Kagome. "Oh my god! Kagome I'm so~" but that's as far as he got.

As Kouga neared her, Kagome tensed. Oh it, his ass is grass. She didn't hear his words, didn't care, but did the one thing that came to mind. She swung. She gave him a full-blown sucker punch, right to the face, her miko powers increasing the strength ten fold. He didn't know what was coming till he was on the floor, blood trickling from his mouth. A skitter was heard, and some viewers looked own to find a white fang skid along the floor. They gasped.

Kagome stood with her fist in front of her, panting in anger. Her glare could kill. Inuyasha stood behind her, mouth-hung open wide. In all their fights, he had never been able to knock out Kouga's tooth.

"Kouga, I'm not your woman, nor will I ever be. If I ever see your disgusting face again, you'll lose more than your tooth." Kagome said coldly as she glared down at a dumfounded Kouga, who was wiping his mouth.

With one last glare, she walked out of the gym and down the hall.

Inuyasha stared down at an equally shocked Kouga. He had never expected that. He expected her to cry and scream and worry over her face, but it was like she forgot about as soon as she realized what happened. But damn if that hadn't been a good right hook. He noticed blue, and found Kagome's hat lying on the ground. Smirking, he picked it up and went after her.

When Kagome had charged out of the gym, Miroku had gotten Sango alone. She blushed as he leaned close to whispered something in her ear, his hand resting on the wall behind her. She giggled profusely and shoved him playfully. She never thought he could be this sweet to her. And he had actually behaved himself, never once trying to grope her purposefully. She had just whispered something to Miroku when they heard the doors to the gym slam open. Sango looked over shocked as a red-faced Kagome stormed out and down the hall. Worried, she followed her friend to the bathroom. She gasped when she saw the cuts on her cheek.

"Kagome what happened!?" Sango cried and hurriedly wetted a paper towel.

Kagome took the towel and wiped at her cheek. "Just some son of a bitch with no self control."

Sango stiffened at her tone and curse. Kagome must be fuming to curse. Anxious she cleaned Kagome's blood for her. "What happened? Tell me everything."

~*~

Down the hall, Miroku was about to follow Sango when Inuyasha came out the doors next carrying Kagome's hat. He raised a brow at the hanyou's worried grin.

"Inuyasha? What's going on?" he asked.

Inuyasha's grin widened as he walked with Miroku down the hall to the bathrooms. "You'll never believe it."

~*~

"I can't believe he would do that!" Sango cried as they exited the bathroom, cheeks red with anger.

"But I must say, it felt damn good to do it," Kagome smirked as she felt her hand throb.

They stopped the bleeding, but her cheek was bright red and the cuts stuck out swollen a bit. They heard a whistle and found Miroku and Inuyasha walking towards them.

Miroku had whistled, "damn Kagome he got you good."

"heh, you should see Kouga." Inuyasha snorted.

Miroku sighed, "it would have given me great satisfaction to see the lovely Kagome plant that meat puppet right in the kisser."

"Trust me buddy, it was a beautiful sight," Inuyasha slapped the boy's shoulder and laughed.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go home," Kagome interrupted them.

"Are you sure?" Sango worried.

"Yeah."

Then come on, I'll take you home," Miroku pulled out his keys.

"Nah, that's okay, I'll walk her home," Inuyasha walked dup and presented Kagome with her hat. She took it tentatively and placed it on her head.

"Are you sure Inuyasha?" Miroku asked but was satisfied when the hanyou nodded.

As Inuyasha and Kagome walked out the school doors, Miroku placed and hand on Sango's waist and pulled her to him. Though blushing badly, she didn't resist.

"You know, I think it was a good thing this happened," Miroku smiled and looked to find her grinning, thinking that same thing.

~*~

Inuyasha had walked the quiet Kagome down the streets, feeling the tension pour off her. He wanted to talk, but didn't know what to say. At one point she shivered, so he put an arm around her shoulders for warmth. Surprised, Kagome thanked god it was dark so he didn't she her blush.

He groaned, making her laughed as they climbed the last of the shrine steps.

"And you have to climb these every day?" he complained. She only laughed and nodded. They could see the lights of her house glow in the dark.

They fidgeted nervously as they stood by the shrine steps, not ready to say goodbye.

He looked to her face and frowned. "I hope it wasn't too bad for you."

She smiled a small smile, "nah, it was actually getting very good before the little incident." She blushed as he snorted.

The comment brought the memory of the dance back. They remembered how he dragged her out into the `middle', just wanting to escape pressure. But it had turned into so much more. Kagome's heart went pitter-patter as she remembered his hands on her hips. He blushed as he remembered her hips grinding against him. So much for a friendly date.

"So…I'll see you later?" she said quietly.

He just nodded.

"Good night."

"Night." He watched as she walked away a little before turning. He let out his breath in a whoosh. He rubbed a hand over his face, feeling it cool down. You're such a dope, what were you expecting? A kiss? Yeah right. He had been so close…

Kagome turned away form him and walked away in barely a shuffle. For some reason, she felt something was missing. As the night's events tumbled in her head, she stopped and gasped as she remembered a particular part of their tantalizing dance. They had been so close to each other, wrapped up only in each other. She had been so close…she slapped her self mentally. What the hell are you doing?! She smiled and turned back around. She saw he was slowly heading to the shrine stairs. She bit her lip as she wondered. His lips had been so close to hers, she could have sworn she could taste him, but just to make sure.

"Hey Inuyasha!" Inuyasha turned as she called to him. He had about a second before she threw herself at him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

He gasped as she pressed her lips against his in a heated kiss. He stiffened, but relaxed as her scent wrapped around him. He brought his arms up to hold her to him. Boldly, she nipped his bottom lip, making him want to whimper, and pulled away. Arms akimbo, satisfied, she waved goodbye and left a stunned Inuyasha standing like a fool staring into space. Humming to herself, she skipped all the way to her door.

Inuyasha snapped out of his stupor when he heard her front door close. Panting slightly, he licked his lips. He tasted honey and strawberries. And it wasn't her lip-gloss.
