Chapter 22

Standing in front of her closet, Kagome finally began to panic. It was 8pm, and Rin would be here in only half an hour.

Wrapped in her soaking wet towel, Kagome stressed over what she should wear to Club Riomant. For all she knew, Inuyasha might be there...

I want to look good, for him.

Pulling out her extra short pink plaid skirt and a matching pink coloured thong, she quickly stepped into both, the towel still resting across her chest.

Now, what to wear on top...?

Sorting through her numerous hangers, she finally decided on a black, sleeveless, strapless Energie shirt, with strings down the front, going directly lengthwise the middle.

Carelessly throwing the towel on her bed, Kagome slipped the tube top over her head, and allowed it to sit in it's correct spot across her mid-section.

Staring at her reflection in the mirror, Kagome nodded her approval.

Now, all I need is to fix my hair and make up...

Because of the setting, she decided on a dark, dramatic look, to accentuate her pitch brown eyes, and long eye lashes.

Sweeping the black eyeshadow across her lids, she watched in fascination as the colouring made her eyes look more seductive.
Adding on the mascara to now highlight her lashes, Kagome grinned in the mirror. Quickly applying a light pink chapstick to her lips to finish off the make up, she smiled at her appearance.

Exactly what I was going for. The only thing left is my hair!

Flipping her head over, down to her waist, she messed up her hair with her fingers. Then, scrunching it all at the back, she used her hair elastic to shove the thin, raven coloured strands into an extremely messy bun.

When she brought her head back up to inspect her work in the mirror, she grinned.

Her hair stuck up slightly in the front in some places, giving a messy-but-sophisticated look. At the back, the strands stuck out in some spots of the bun, which was just what she'd wanted.

Skipping out of her room and shutting off the light as she did so, Kagome ran down the stairs, just in time to see Rin ring the door bell.

Kagome's mother walked over to the door, already knowing that Rin and Sesshoumaru were coming to take Kagome out clubbing.

"What a lovely outfit, dear. Have fun, and don't forget to..."

"To bring the key, I know mom." Kissing her lightly before leaving, Kagome quickly spun back to her mother before opening the door.

"I might not be coming home tonight..." She trailed off, not knowing how else to word her thought.

"I understand, dear. Have fun with everyone!"

Smiling brightly, she was immediately assaulted by Rin the moment she opened the door.

"Kagome-channnnn!"

"Rin!"

The two girls smiled knowingly at one another, but only after Rin bowed lowly to Kira.

"It's lovely to see your high spirit once again, Rin!"

"Always a pleasure to see you, Miss Higurashi!"

Smiling at one another, their trance was broken when Kagome tugged on Rin's skirt.

"Oh...right! Bye bye!"

Quickly walking back to the car, the girls slipped into the backseat as Sesshoumaru drove to Club Riomant.

The fun was about to begin...

XxXx

Inuyasha sighed, not caring what he looked like anymore. Wearing a simple pair of dark blue baggy jeans, and a black cotton, half-sleeve collared shirt, he was good to go.

He couldn't ride in the same car as his half-brother and Rin, because they were the ones that would be picking up Kagome. It was supposed to be a surprise, so he was okay with it. Instead, Miroku and Sango were coming to pick him up.

Earlier on, he'd talked to Kouga and Shippo. Each of them had agreed to come, as long as they could bring their girls. Surprisingly, Kouga and Shippo had their own girlfriends now; it seemed he was the only one that didn't...

Shrugging indifferently, Inuyasha slipped on his running shoes.

Hearing the car's horn, he strolled out of the house, as if this was an ordinary outing.

However, deep inside, his heart was fluttering such as a caged bird's; he couldn't remember the last time he'd been so excited!

After all, finally, finally, he would be seeing Kagome.

XxXx

Entering the high class club, Kagome's and everyone else's ears were immediately assaulted with loud music. This club had a tendancy to play a huge range of music, from hip-hop to trance, to slow songs.

There weren't many other people in the club; perhaps fifteen or twenty others, because of the club's high reputation. In all actuality, this was more of a good thing, because that meant the club would be more exclusive to just her friends versus a bunch of strangers.

Lights flashed from the top of the club, spinning and twirling in all different directions. Large speakers lined the all the corners of the club, along with a couple along each length and width of the club, so it resembled more like a surround-sound feeling.

The dark floors were made of black tile, but a non-slip sort. The walls were painted white, which contrasted strikingly with the floor and ceiling. Tables and chairs lined the sides of the club, for people to sit at whenever they wished. There was also a bar, with a huge selection of drinks available to all the customers.

A fairly large stage was at the end of the club, where professional dancers and singers occasionally graced it's presence.

Hanging from the ceiling were two cages with a decent amount of space seperating them. Women in scantily clad clothing danced in the cages, hinting at sexual positions and overall blending in with the club's atmosphere.

Overall, the club was one of the best Kagome had ever seen.

Immediately moving to the dance floor, she motioned for Rin and Sesshoumaru to come and join her.

Over the loud music, Rin called to Kagome.

"Don't worry, girl; Miroku and Sango will be here soon! And as far as I know, Shippo, Kirara, Kouga, and Ayame are coming, too!"

Smiling in response, Kagome continued to dance, uncaring that she was more or less the odd-one-out. She was determined to enjoy herself tonight, even if Inuyasha decided not show...

XxXx

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango walked into the club, loving the atmosphere before they even started dancing.

As the couple made their way to the dance floor, they gestured for Inuyasha to follow.

"Nah, I'm going to stay back for a bit. You guys go and enjoy yourselves."

Staring at each other for a moment, Sango and Miroku finally decided that if he wanted to keep off the dance floor for now, it was fine.

Inuyasha went over to the nearest table, and sat down. It was fairly warm in the club, which made him almost instantly feel the heat from everyone else's dancing.

Around thirty or so bodies bunched together on the dance floor, most of the people blending in with one another.

However, one body stood out.

Clad in a pink skirt and black shirt, there was his one and only angel; Kagome.

Her breathtaking hair was tied away from her face, as her face was accented with some dark make up. Skimpy clothes allowed her figure to be seen by all, which disturbed him more than it should. She was his girl; no one else should be able to look at her in such mininal clothing, except himself...

Since when did I become so possessive?

Ignoring the thought, his eyes trailed her form as she went to sit down at the other side of the room. He watched as she wiped the sweat from her forehead and cheeks, clearly having been busy dancing.

A new song blared through the speakers, which made Kagome visibly unhappy: "Heaven".

Baby, you're all that I want,
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in heaven.

Closing her eyes, Kagome let the trance-dance melody float through her ears, ignoring the intense need that grew inside herself. She wished Inuyasha wanted her like that; would believe that the two of them were in heaven...

Oh, thinking about our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now, nothing can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now,
You keep me coming back for more.

The song continued on, it's happy melody wanting her to get up and dance. However, when she glanced at the dance floor, Miroku and Sango, and Sesshoumaru and Rin were close together, singing the words to one another. It made her feel even more out of place, which was why she decided to stay off to the side.

Baby, your all that I want,
When your lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart,
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in heaven.

Ohh, ohh, ohh.
Ohh, ohh, ohh.
We're in heaven.

Silently thanking god that the song was over, Kagome finally went back to the dance floor, greeting Miroku and Sango.

"HEY!" She yelled over the loud music, a new song playing.

"HI KAGOME!" Sango yelled back, hugging her friend tightly. "It's so nice to see you! Are you okay now...since the...you know?"

Kagome nodded her head, knowing that she was referring to when she was in the hospital.

"Yeah, I just came back home today! It's too bad he isn't here, though; I'd kinda like to talk to him again, you know?"

Sango grinned, and then pointed to the stage.

"I hear they're letting people go up and sing for the next hour, if they pick a song from the list. You should go up, and give it a try! We all know you love to sing, Kags!"

Smiling, Kagome took up her friend's offer. After all, it couldn't hurt, right?

Whispering her song choice to the DJ, he checked the list, giving her the thumbs up. The song was on the list, which meant she could sing it!

Standing on the stage off to the side, Kagome closed her eyes, waiting for the piano to waft through the speakers.

Holding the portable, wireless mic in her hands, she smiled bitterly before she began to sing.

Ooh,
Ooh,
Sweet love,
Yeah.

I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so.
I should have held on tight,
I never shoulda let you go.
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid,
I was foolish,
I was lying to myself.

I could not fathom that I would ever be without your love,
Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself.
Cause I didn't know you,
Cause I didn't know me,
But I thought I knew everything,
I never felt...

The feeling that I'm feeling now that I don't hear your voice,
Or have your touch and kiss your lips cause I don't have a choice.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side,
Right here,
Cause baby...

Tears leaked from her closed eyes, but they didn't make her voice fail. Instead, she continued on bravely.

When you left I lost a part of me,
It's still so hard to believe,
Come back baby, please,
Cause we belong together.

Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better,
Oh, baby baby, we belong together.

She continued signing, ignoring the tears which steadily increased in frequency.

All of her friends watched as she sang out her heart and soul, feeling every single last word.

Soon, the climactic part of the song came up, throwing Kagome over the edge.

Her eyes opened and flicked over to the entrance of the club, only to collide with golden-brown ones; Inuyasha's.

I'm feeling all out of my element,
I'm throwing things, crying,
Trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong.
The pain reflected in this song,
It ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside,
I need you, need you back in my life, baby.

Kagome's need was more than apparent; she missed him, and needed him back in her life. Without him, she'd been thrown off course; she felt like something was missing.

When you left I lost a part of me,
It's still so hard to believe,
Come back baby, please,
Cause we belong together.

Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better,
Oh, baby baby, we belong together.

The second Inuyasha heard her voice, his eyes had flipped to the stage. He watched her performance, being drawn in entirely. However, he felt such a sudden jolt when her eyes met his, not even the strongest man in the world would be able to pull his gaze away from hers.

In that moment, there was an understanding between them; it was there, and it was powerful.

When she finished the song, a loud applause met her, to which she bowed gracefully.

Gently stepping down the stairs, Kagome met back with the others, pinning a harsh gaze on them.

"I didn't know Inuyasha was here," she stated, waiting for one of them to answer her.

"Hehe, well, you see..." Miroku started, but was interrupted when Inuyasha pushed him away.

"Kagome, I..." Inuyasha, an arrogant, confident man, stuttered like a little boy, losing all thought.

"Inuyasha..."

Everyone else slowly backed away from the couple, doing their best to sneak away un-noticed.

"It's been...so long..." Kagome mumbled, avoiding his gaze.

Tilting her head to his face, he inspected her smoky eyes. They held pain, trust, but most of all...hope. There was hope in her eyes; hope for their future.

Pulling her to his chest abruptly, Inuyasha hugged her tightly. He closed his eyes at the intense emotions that flooded him; god, did he miss her.

"I'm never letting you go again, and I don't care what you have to say to that."

Inhaling her sweet, fruity scent, Inuyasha ran his hands down her back, vowing to keep the promise, even if it killed him.

At first, Kagome was going to push him away, to let her anger have reign. However, at his strong words, her anger vanished like the wind; and something else replaced it.

No matter what happened in the past, that didn't change the fact how much she'd missed him.

"Oh god, Inuyasha..."

Pulling away, but keeping his hold on her shoulders, he stared into her eyes.

"Dance with me," Inuyasha whispered in her ear.

Feeling her arms slink around his neck, he sighed in relief.

The sounds of soft classical piano entered their ear drums, pulling the couple closer to one another.

"Listen to your Heart" had begun; and it couldn't have been a more perfect song.

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

Getting lost in the song, time seemed to stop. They danced and danced, not paying attention to their surroundings, or the other people. The only thing that existed was them, and their need for one another.

One song blurred into another; the next one being "Run It".

Turning Kagome around, Inuyasha ground her body into his, feeling the hip-hop beat of the song.

Let me talk to you,
Tell you how it is.
I was thinking when I saw that body,
Gotta get shawty,
Tell her what the young boy gon do.
Damn them chicks wit you,
Gotta be okay,
Baby pretty thick with the kick that's sick that need to be hit,
So tell me what ya'll gon do.

Inuyasha purred in her ear, making her shiver with the deep sound.

"You're my girl," he growled as they continued dancing.

I got friends, and you got friends (word)
They hop out, and you hop in (word)
I look fly, and they jockin (word)
The way you drop, drop makes me wannna pop

I got friends, and you got friends (word)
They hop out, and you hop in (word)
I look fly, and they jockin (word)
The way you drop,drop makes me wanna pop.

Is your man on the flo?
If he ain't...
Let me know.
Let me see if you can run it, run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it.

"You're my man," Kagome said, giggling a little.

Is your man on the flo?
If he ain't...
Let me know.
Let me see if you can run it, run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it.

"Show me you can run it," Kagome answered, putting more pressure on him as she ground into him.

They danced tighter and with more pressure, Kagome's skirt riding up against Inuyasha's jeans as she danced.

Inuyasha's hands, which rested on her hips, felt the smooth skin under her skirt as it lifted higher and higher. His fingertips brushed the fabric of her thong, realizing what she was implying by wearing such scant clothing.

"Mmm, don't think I don't know what you're doing, Inuyasha," she whispered heatedly as she danced, pulling her skirt back down.

Flipping around, she stopped dancing, which confused Inuyasha.

"I missed you like hell," she stated simply, throwing her arms around his neck, and kissing him deeply.

"Never leave me again; ever."

Author's Note

There might be a lacking of words for the storyline in this chapter, but I tried really hard to fit it in. I also realize I didn't bring Kouga, Ayame, Shippo, or Kirara in the club yet; they'll be thrown in, in the next chapter. I'll also try to get some more dialogue between ALL the characters, to even things out.

This chapter was supposed to really show the emotional bond between Inuyasha and Kagome, and I honest to god tried not to make it sound rushed. I felt like that's how I'd react, if I was missing someone...so yeah.

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter--I know I did! It was really fun writing it, too!

Until Chapter 23!

Sincerely,
