InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dressing the part ❯ Skeletons Coming Out of the Closet...Sort of ( Chapter 16 )
AN- Whoa! I reached 100 reviews on FF.net. Not bad for my first story. If you should so choose to review, could you please tell me which parts you liked and didn't like? As of now, I'm full on winging the story. If a lot of people don't like a certain things, I can write it out!
Okay, I received a lot of questions about the whole Oedipus thing. If you understood, good for you, but the point was people weren't supposed to get it. It was supposed to be confusing. I tried to use Inuyasha to show that. She was so grief stricken, her mind wasn't working the same way a normal person's would at that particular moment.
Secondly, I shift from referring to Kagome as a he or she depending on whose perspective I'm trying to hone in on. If I focus on someone who knows Kagome is a woman, I refer to her as a her. If I focus on someone who does not know, I refer to her as a he. Does that make sense. If I get more reviews saying it is too confusing, I'll strictly refer to Kagome as a she.
If you read the chapter's title, you know something's about to happen. I hope you enjoy it!
Dressing the Part
Chapter Sixteen
Skeletons Coming Out of the Closet...Sort of
They had played for a little while. It was okay but, they would rather have the stereo blasting. It was the final turn, Sango's turn.
Kagura, who hated Sango, had just been given the dare response. Kagura had thought Sango hated Miroku. Knowing Miroku had just gone into the back of the club to find the supply room to get more soda, she made her challenge.
"I dare you to make out with the next person to come through that hallway, which leads to the back of the club. This is including kissing, licking, biting, groping, and whatever other kinks you want to throw in." Kagura smirked thinking she had won.
Sango couldn't back down. This was how she would lose her first kiss? Uh.
She had a straight view down the hallway. The farthest door was the supply room and along the way were a broom closet, the bathrooms, and a stairway.
There came Miroku out of the supply room carrying a case of soda. Each step took increasingly longer. Finally, after about forever, he almost reached it when Kagome emerged from the staircase and exited the hallway into the main room, before Miroku.
Oh shit.
Kagome knew she hadn't been helping as much as she should have, but she was a mess. Talking to Sesshoumaru made stuff feel a little better. She had told herself to apologizing for not carrying her own weight.
"Hey guys. Sorry I've been kind of a downer tonight." She was too busy thinking of what she was saying to really pay attention to some of the snickering going on. "I had some major stuff on my...what? Why is everyone laughing?"
Hiten, the third baseman, decided to explain the situation to Kagome.
"Man, Kagome! Yura dared Sango to...hahaha...kiss the next person through the hallway and Kazaana was right behind you."
`No! We can't do that!'
"...He's been trying to kiss her for years and you take his one shot without even trying."
"Wait!" interjected the girls' third baseman, Abi. "Why'd you call him Kazaana?"
"He's our shortstop and everything that goes his way gets sucked into his glove, like a vacuum."
"Cool!"
Speaking of Miroku, Kagome now noticed how very irritated he looked. Like she wanted the situation either.
"Well get on with it! I gotta see this!" cried Kouga. `That's so damn hot!'
"Yeah come on!"
"Do it!"
"Kiss her ya wuss!"
"We get to see Sango's first kiss."
"HOLD ON!" shouted Kagome. "I didn't agree to this."
"What?!" countered an obviously upset Miroku. "Is she not good enough for you, Kagome?"
What could she say to get out of this without tipping anyone off? She'd fight fire with fire.
"That's funny coming from you. You treated her like a goddamn blow up doll since you found out she had boobs! You don't even realize what a catch she is. Do you think a girl like her comes along every day? Maybe for you. The guy who gets a new girl every few days. Sango is better than that. She's not a flavor of the week."
"If you think so highly of her, why don't you kiss her?!"
By now, Kagome was so fired up, so angry, that she would do anything to one up Miroku Kazaana, the ladies' man, the guy who repeatedly broke Sango's heart.
"Is that what you want? Fine!"
Then, before anyone knew what was going on, Kagome lips were exploring Sango's. But, then something weird happened. A voice inside their heads told them what was going on was weird, and strange, and thoroughly...exhilarating. They had never kissed anyone before.
Kagome had always wanted her first kiss to be special. Just because it wasn't with the man of her dreams, or even a man, didn't mean that kiss couldn't have meaning. Kagome cared a lot about Sango. Sango meant more to her than almost anyone, including Inuyasha.
Just because Kagome stuck her foot in her mouth, didn't mean she couldn't make the most of it for Sango's sake.
Was this what it felt like to be kissed? Would it be the same coming from a boy? Is that her tongue?! Sango gasped and Kagome gently pried her mouth open. The kiss was soft and gentle. It was the first kiss of any girl's dreams.
The rest of the group backed away to give a semblance of privacy, but no one could look away. Kouga was right for once. It was so damn hot. Kouga was understandably worked up, but so was Jak.
Jak was getting so dizzy. He wasn't even participating. He was just watching. Oh my god! Is she gonna grab her...And Jak passed out. He was however wrong in his assumptions. He was wrong in thinking Kagome was reaching for Sango's unexplored breast.
She was reaching for her shoulder to push her away.
"I'm sorry Sango. I tried, but I couldn't do it."
The girls had dreamy expressions on their faces and the guys were impressed by Kagome's skills. He conquered what no one else could, even the guru of girls, Miroku. Miroku, by the way, looked lost. Had he lost her forever?
"I know. It was good but there was no heat."
No one in the room expected that! It looked pretty damn heated. What were they talking about.
"I think I should stick to guys."
"WHAT?!!!"
"You mean he won't ever kiss me like that?!"
"So that's why Kazaana found him and Jak together!"
"He's probably been checking us out in the shower just like Jak!"
"Feh! Idiot. Kagome never showers with us."
Miroku wasn't sure what enraged him more the fact Sango had trusted Kagome enough to let him close to her, or the fact that Kagome was leading her on and probably broke her heart. Fury seethed out of Miroku. He was about to something rarely seen from Miroku when groping was not involved, something stupid and more commonly liked to Inuyasha's behavior.
He pushed his way through the crowd to get to the two main subjects of discussion. "Kagome!" bellowed the inflamed playboy. "How dare you! How DARE you! I've done some pretty indecent things in my time, but never anything as ugly and despicable as this! How can you call yourself a man when you lead her and her feelings on like that? You disgust me!"
"So what have you done beside your flavor of the week?" Kagome asked sarcastically. "You're such a hypocrite Kazaana! I'm glad I disgust you. I truly am. And, I'm glad I got to Sango before you. I'm glad that whenever she thinks of her first kiss, she'll be remembering a friend she's trusted almost forever and not some idiot who wouldn't know how to treat a girl unless his dick was in her ass!"
"Kagome!" barked Sesshoumaru. "Calm down! Miroku is not him. He may be a perverted moron, but he is nothing like Mushin."
"He is EXACTLY like Mushin! He uses girls, takes advantage of them, and when he gets all he can from them, he throws them away like trash!" Kagome sunk to the ground in an emotional heap, crying hysterically.
The group had no idea the after party would turn out this way. Who was Mushin and why was Kagome hysterical?
She had seen far too many friends taken advantage of by `successful movie producers'. The most prominent being Mushin. Everything he made was smut. He tricked pretty girls into thinking they were trying out for legitimate acting work.
He would tell them it was only a screen test for a love scene. When he would inform them of male actor's sudden family emergency, they wouldn't question his stepping in.
They were clueless. When `filming' was done, he would sell the tapes as porn. The girls' loves were ruined. In fact, when all was said and done, they usually ended up either going deeper into the porn industry, or deeper into the ground...after they committed suicide.
Too many of her friends ended up that way. She would not let it happen to Sango.
"Wait just one minute! You think I would do something like that to Sango?" An incredulous scowl adorned Miroku's face.
Sango stepped out from behind the sobbing girl and knelt down so she could look into her eyes. "Kagome," softly murmured Sango as she raised Kagome's chin to face her. "I don't think he would do that to me." She looked up at Miroku. "I trust him."
Miroku and Kagome glared at each other. "If you even think about hurting my best friend, I'll make sure you'd never be able to do it again. You have no idea how many connections I have. Are we clear?"
"Do you mean to tell me that all this time you've been hanging all over each other because you're friends?" Miroku, after receiving confirmation, exhaled a sigh of relief.
Sango rose to her feet and stared into Miroku's eyes. He walked toward her slowly, never shifting his fixed, hungry gaze. He stopped directly in front of her and gently pulled her closer with his left hand reaching around to the small of her back and not below that. The back of his right hand lightly brushed her cheek.
As he delicately touched her, her skin tingled and her body felt electrical shudders run through it. Was this what it felt like to be his? It was so different from how Kagome moved with her.
His heart was thumping in his chest as her face grew flushed and her eyes closed enticingly. She liked it. She wasn't repulsed by his touch! This was too alluringly good to be true.
He moved in to capture her lips and they both felt so good. Why hadn't they done this before?
The rest of the group decided the party was over. Nothing could top the entertainment they just witnessed. The group, excluding the two love birds lost in their own world, left.
It's too bad Jak was still unconscious. He would have loved to be carried by Inuyasha back to his own bed when he was awake. The silver haired youth, accompanied by Kagome, carried the flamboyant first baseman back to their dorm room.
Everything seemed perfect. Too bad perfection rarely lasts. Tomorrow was the big game.
AN- I felt like the chapter started strong but not toward the end. That's what I get for not writing the whole thing at once.
