Chapter 21

(Last line of Chapter 20) In doing so, Ayame, who was leaning her ear against the door to hear them, fell to the floor in front of him...

"A-A-Ayame?" Kouga looked as if he'd just seen a ghost. His face paled considerably, but the anger and embarassment sparking in his eyes didn't waver.

Kagome looked dumb-foundedly at the floor in front of her, having a hard time taking in what had just happened.

"Oh...hello Ayame! Kouga was just telling me that-"

Poking Kagome roughly, Kouga gave her a glare that said "you'd better shut up right now, or else."

Kagome huffed, deciding that it was Kouga's issue, and that he had to deal with it right now anyway. Skipping off happily, she went to reunite herself with Ayame's other friend. Perhaps she had some matchmaking to do with her?

Pulling herself off the floor, Ayame avoided Kouga's cool gaze. He seemed angry at first, but when she looked up at him, his face was red. He wasn't angry; he was...blushing?

After a tense minute of silence, Kouga spoke.

"H-h-how much did you hear, anyway?"

"E-enough..." Ayame answered, blushing deeply.

Good god she looks sexy when she blushes...I've got to do this more often...HEY...where did that thought come from?!

Both stared at each other for a moment, not saying a word.

"Kouga, I..."

"Ayame, I..."

"Oh, you go on ahead!"

"No, ladies first."

Ayame bit her lower lip, not knowing exactly what to say. Looking at the ground, she began to think of coherent words to tell him.

However, when she felt a rough fingertip at her lips, all thoughts stopped.

Kouga gently rubbed his thumb against her bottom lip, silently telling her to stop abusing it.

Feeling daring, Ayame lightly bit his thumb in return, feeling delighted at the surprise in Kouga's eyes.

Without knowing it, Kouga's face leaned in closer and closer to hers, wanting to extend their romantic moment.

"Ayame..." His deep voice tingled against her lips, before their descent.

Once their lips touched, reality was lost. They were in a world of their own, exploring one another with a deep tenderness that no words could ever explain.

From inside the cafeteria, Kagome and Kirara watched the scene with stars in their eyes.

"Oh my gosh Kirara...so KAWAII!!"

"I KNOW, Kagome! Awww!"

"I wish I had that..." Kagome muttered, looking away for a moment.

"What, Kagome? Didn't you say something?"

"Ah, nothing at all Kirara! Let's get a night-time snack; something tells me those two will be a little while yet."

Inuyasha crawled back into bed, after having dragged Kikyou back to the station. A million apologies swarmed him at the station, but it didn't make him feel any better, or relieved.

Imagine what could have happened if Kikyou went after Kagome instead?

Just the thought gave him shivers, even though he was currently comfortable in his bed, under all the sheets.

Speaking of Kagome...when was the last time I saw her?

Another voice spoke in his head, revealing the harsh truth.

Not for a very long time.

Sighing deeply into his pillow, he silently swore that he'd visit her, no matter what.

I don't care if she doesn't want to see me...I'm going to see her, no matter what. I miss what we used to have too much in order to do nothing about it.

The Next Morning...

Rin woke before Sesshoumaru, snuggling closer into the warmth of his chest. Hints of sunlight poured from the open slit in the curtains, giving a preview of the lovely day outside.

Gently pulling herself from his lightly sleeping form, Rin climbed out of the bed, shivering from the loss of warmth.

Stepping in front of the full length mirror, Rin began to play with her hair, piling it on top of her head. Often times she did this, pretending to be a model or a playgirl. She'd always liked the sexual look, even though in all actuality she was rather innocent.

Making serious expressions, she reveled in the mirror's image. After years of practice, she was finally getting the perfect sexy pout...

However, when Sesshoumaru suddenly appeared behind her, hugging her back to his chest, she blushed in embarassment. He wasn't supposed to see that...

"My, my, my, I didn't know Rin could be so playful," he whispered hotly in her ear, grinning all the more when her blush deepened.

"If you like acting like this so much, I should take you to our club tonight, if you'd like," he hinted, waiting for her reaction.

"Your club?" She asked, growing interested.

"It's more of an upper-class club, myself and Inuyasha used to go once in a while. I haven't been there in a while; it'd be nice to visit."

Smiling, Rin threw her arms around his neck in excitement.

"What time?"

XxXx

Sango showered yesterday's activities off, replacing the previous sweat with her sweetly scented strawberry shower gel.

Sighing under the hot spray of water, she closed her eyes in deep thought.

I still want to know why the house smells like paint...

Shrugging it off for now, her eyes immediately shot open when the shrill ringing of the telephone snapped her from her musings.

"Miroku!" She yelled from in the shower, praying he'd hear her.

A mumbled sound floated into the bathroom, which allowed her to just barely hear him.

"Pick up the phone, please!"

Reaching to their bedside table, Miroku lifted the receiver to his ear, muttering a "hello" into it.

"Miroku, still asleep at 12:30pm? You should be ashamed," Sesshoumaru's cold, silky voice waved through the phone, immediately waking him from his half-slumber.

"What do you want?" Miroku asked, genuinely curious as to what the Ice King would want from them.

"Rin and I are going to Club Riomant tonight. Are Sango and yourself going to accompany us? Rin had a plan; somehow unknowingly bringing Inuyasha and Kagome there, to reunite..."

Miroku grinned into the phone, seeing where this was going.

"I see what you mean; we're in. Tonight at 9pm? Sounds good; we'll meet you there. Alright, bye."

Sango strolled into their bedroom, wrapped in a thin towel, staring at him.

"Who was that?"

Miroku's heart leapt into his chest, seeing Sango in such minimal clothing. Her hair dripped from the tips, down her shoulders and underneath the towel.

"It was Sesshoumaru, asking us to go to Club Riomant tonight."

Sango drew her eyebrows together, trying to put the minimal pieces together. "Why would we go to Club Riomant?"

"He's bringing Inuyasha with him, and it's our job to bring Kagome..."

Suddenly, the light clicked on in Sango's head, which made her smile widely in response.

"It's about time those two got together again."

"Mmm, and it's about time we get together again, too..." Miroku replied, licking his lips as his eyes glazed over in lust.

"Sango began to back up to the bathroom's door.

"No," she started, trying to ignore his strong implication.

"Yes," he purred, stalking over to where her trembling form stood.

Kissing her neck with utmost gentleness, he silently counted down in his head as her knees began to weaken.

3...

Tugging slowly at the towel, he smiled when her hands fell from her sides, allowing it to gracefully fall to the floor, leaving nothing to the imagination.

2...

Picking her up as he gently kissed her lips, he then lay her on the bed, dragging his head down from her chest to her stomach. Licking around her belly button, he grinned as her body arched upwards involuntarily.

1...

Soon, her hands tugged on his head, and she began to pant his name, attempting to pull off his boxers as he stayed at her stomach.

Bingo.

After leaving the hospital and grabbing the girls' numbers, Kagome took the bus home, but not before Kouga thanked her for her 'interference'.

"If it wasn't for you, me and Ayame might not have ever gotten together. It--it means a lot to us, you know."

Nodding her head in understanding, Kagome smiled to them as she walked away.

"Hey Kirara--good luck with Shippo, ne?" She called over her shoulder.

"Thanks!"

On the bus ride home, Kagome's thoughts ran to the one person she didn't want to think about--Inuyasha.

When was the last time I saw him? It seems like forever...

However, she didn't know that she'd be seeing him very soon...

Her cell phone began to ring, which pulled her out of her thoughts. Glancing at the number, she recognized it as belonging to the Taisho manner.

Could...could...could it be?

"Hi-ohhhh, Kagome-CHAN!" Rin's high, sweet voice drifted none-too-gently through the phone, making Kagome giggle in response.

"A whole bunch of us are going to Club Riomant tonight, you've gotta come with us! It'll be a lot of fun, I promise. Me and Sesshy will even come pick you up!"

Thinking it over, Kagome shrugged her shoulders.

"It's not like I've got anything else to do anyway...sure, why not?"

Screeching suddenly sounded from the phone, so Kagome pulled the phone away from her ears to avoid getting damage from Rin's excitement.

"GREAT! So we'll see you at...um...8:30pm! And dress SEXY!"

Before Kagome could protest, she was met with the dial tone.

Well, here goes nothing...

XxXx

"Come on, Inuyasha; you have to come with us. Kikyou's gone for good, and you don't have any other plans. Invite Kouga, if you want. Miroku, Sango, Rin, and I are already going; a few more couldn't hurt, could it? I bet Shippo and Kirara will come, too..."

Shaking his head, Inuyasha growled at them in annoyance.

"Clubbing isn't my thing; the last thing I need is Kagome thinking I'm hitting on yet another girl. The one time with Kikyou was enough for me, thanks."

Rin sighed in exasperation, not knowing what else to do, other than tell him that Kagome was also coming.

"Well...I'm not supposed to tell you, but...Kagome is coming too."

Inuyasha took in a deep breath at hearing her name, and knowing she'll be coming to the club tonight. This was his last chance to make amends.

I have to go, but I can't fuck up again. If I do, all hope is lost, for good...

Sighing, Inuyasha nodded. Going was the last chance he had to fix things with Kagome; he wouldn't miss it for the world.

"Great!"

Author's Note

Ah, I know this story is taking a different turn, but I also know how I want it to go. I want to wrap things up, because I feel like it's dragging, so don't mind the slightly faster pace in the next few chapters.

I'm also sorry for any spelling errors that I didn't catch, because like I said, my Microsoft Word still isn't working.

Thank you for the wait--I know the chapter is a couple days late, but I hope everyone enjoyed it nonetheless.

Until Chapter 22!

Sincerely,
