InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Falling For the Baby Sitter ❯ Relization ( Chapter 49 )

Inu Yasha yawned as he watched the scenery fly by his window as the cab drove down the interstate. Kagome smiled slightly as she rocked Mayu back and forth. The girl felt so light in her arms. It was as if she were nothing more than a new born kitten.

Inu Yasha looked over at them and smiled. "Now, that's cute."

The older girl looked up at him with a playful smirk on her lips. "No, I'm just down right sexy."

He coughed. "I meant Mayu," he said, and then stuck out his tongue, acting like the big kid he was.

Kagome slapped a pout on her face and eyed the road in front of her irritably. "I feel like Usagi off of Sailor Moon."

Inu Yasha chuckled. "I sure as hell ain't Tuxedo Mask, and besides, you can't help it, Mayu is so cute," he said as he reached over and stroked the little girl's hair.

The girl growled. "Oh come-on, fairy boy, don't you want to throw flowers at all the bad guys?"

He snorted and flipped his hair. "Like I would throw flowers."

"God, you are such an asshole!" she spat as she shifted position, turning her back to him.

Inu Yasha laughed and returned his gaze out the window.

She huffed and glared out of the window at the grassy fields outside as they drew closer to home where Sango had agreed to round everyone up to meet up with them at.

The young man smiled at the familiar scenery. "I can't wait to see the boys," he said quietly.

The girl nodded a bit, then remembered she had decided to ignore him, and went back to eyeing the lands where God lost his shoe.

Inu Yasha closed his eyes and sat back in the seat, trying to rest. "Tell me when we get there..." he muttered.

A silent car ride to the house for the rest of the time was all that graced te trio' presence. That is, until they arrived, which was when all hell broke loose. Mayu was flying out of the car and flying at Souta and Shippou, hugging the fuck out of them and Sango was strangling Kagome with a bear hug that lifted her feet a few inches off of the ground.

"Mayu!!" Souta yelled as he and Shippou hugged her back.

Miroku smiled. "Good to see you guys back safe and sound."

Inu Yasha got out of the car and saw Kouga standing near by and smiled. Kouga ran to him and wrapped his arms around Inu Yasha in a huge hug. "Don't you ever scare me like that again, Inu Yasha."

Inu Yasha stood there, turning blue from lack of oxygen. "Cant ....breath...." he choked out.

Finally as Sango released Kagome so she could go fawn over Mayu like always, and Mayu lapped it all up, as always.

Kagome's attention however, was drawn to Inu Yasha and Kouga. A strange emotion that always seemed to show up when she saw them sharing a moment like that tugged at her heart. Pushing it down she pulled the bags out of the car and made her way into the house to unpack and put things away.

Kouga let Inu Yasha go, but grabbed his hand and interlocked fingers with him as they walked towards the house.

Miroku looked at Sango with Mayu and smiled. "You're good with kids, Sango."

Sango beamed. "But of course I am! I only had ninety brothers and sisters!"

Shippou and Souta ran off to play ball squealing and screaming along the way. Mayu leapt out of her arms to race off to catch the boys, not ready to go inside yet.

Miroku laughed. "I bet it was hell to get a shower at your house, having that many siblings."

Sango wrinkled her nose as they started walking back up to the house. "You have no idea."

Miroku walked into the house to see Kouga looking over Inu Yasha's arms from the cutting the younger man had done earlier.

"Those are going to leave some serious scars Inu Yasha," he stated as he ran a finger down one the older scars.

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. "Just add them to the collection I already have."

Miroku scowled as he looked at his friend's arms. "I thought you were over that shit," he growled out.

Sango scowled at the fight that was about to break out. "Kouga!" she interjected, sharper than intended. "Where is the present Nazuna and I got for Kagome for the club tonight?"

Kouga thought for a moment. "I believe it's in the hall closet."

Miroku rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen to get a coke. "Stupid…" he muttered under his breath as he rummaged through the fridge.

Something rather hard and round smacked Miroku in the back of the head, but when he turned around, all that was left of Sango was her back disappearing around the corner.

Miroku placed the can of coke on the lump forming on his head. "Owwww..."

Inu Yasha sat next to Kouga, being unusually quiet. "Inu Yasha, what's wrong?" Kouga asked. "You should be happy that you're home."

Inu Yasha smiled slightly. "I am glad I'm home and that everything worked out for the better."

Kouga smiled. "Good, because tonight we are going to the club, and I think we have a good reason to celebrate."

Kagome screeched. "The club?? Tonight???"

Nazuna laughed and nodded.

The girls were both in Kagome's room and Nazuna was stretched out on her bed while Kagome was crouched down in front of the closet putting shoes in order.

Nazuna put on a girly pout and looked at her. "And why not? Kouga needs to go in tonight to meet with some of the leaders and other important people that I'm not even going to begin to try and understand, and he thinks it would be a great welcome home party for Inu Yasha!"

Kagome sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "I don't have anything to wear though!"

Sango swept into the room just at that moment and stood in front of Kagome and Nazuna. "Good, then you have no excuse not to wear the dress we got you."

Kagome's gaze shot up to the dress in Sango's hands. It was the one from Hot Topic!

Nazuna smirked and held out her hand in which a set of fangs sat in her hands. "And we decided to go all out tonight."

Kagome looked up at the girls and smiled hesitantly.

Inu Yasha looked at Kouga. "I thought we could just spend a quiet night at home." Kouga shook his head. "No, I have some things I have to do and this is a welcome home party for you and Kagome," he said with a smile. "We all were so relieved when we heard that you and Kagome got Mayu back safely, that we decided to throw a party."

Inu Yasha raised a brow as Miroku walked back into the room. "Inu, just go and have a good time, damn it."

Inu Yasha smirked. "Let me guess; am I tonight's entertainment, too?"

Miroku laughed. "Damn straight."

Moments later, Nazuna and Sango came out and cleared their throats. Once they were sure they had the attention of every body in the room, Nazuna stepped forward. "I'm happy to say we have a jaw dropping surprise for you boys. Kouga, even you are going to pop a boner at this, so gentlemen, prepare yourselves."

All the guys turned to look at the girls.

"And what's this surprise suppose to be?" Inu Yasha asked curiously.

Sango crooked a finger at the door to Kagome's room, and the latter girl gulped.

With the tight leather accentuating her bust and clinging to her ass like a painted on layer, she felt like she was damn near dressed in a towel. The dense red lace though, gave her some comfort in the fact that it covered the backs of her legs. Kagome took her first shaky steps out of the bedroom on her knee high leather boots. Her long ebony hair had been brushed and curled into soft wavy locks that swayed with every step she took.

Nazuna and Sango promptly stepped back as Kagome stepped into the living room, and stood before the men.

Miroku's jaw dropped. "Kagome, you're a vision," he said in awe.

Inu Yasha stood stock still, his eyes glued to her. "Kagome, you look great," he rasped finally through parched lips as Kouga stood.

"Yes, I agree, that dress looks wonderful on you, Kagome."

Kagome scratched the back of her neck. "Ehhhhh... God Dammit, why am I the only one ready?" she demanded. Stomping her foot, she shoved the two squealing girls back down the hall soon to be followed by the guys. "Get your asses ready so we can go!" she snapped.

The guys looked at each other for a moment and then started to get ready.

Kouga and Inu Yasha went Inu Yasha's bedroom to get changed over. Inu Yasha changed over into a blood red dress shirt that had a dragon wrapping around it and black pair of carpenters jeans.

Kouga smiled as he watched him but changed over into a black silk shirt and a pair of black jeans. Inu Yasha sat down at his desk and started applying the make up to make himself look pale and then the dark black eye shadow and eyeliner to his eyes. He then moved, so Kouga could do the same.

Inu Yasha went to his dresser and pulled out his and Kouga's fangs, finger armor and contacts.

Nazuna and Sango bustled around with Kagome pitching in every now and then to help.

It was a harrying process but the end result made in worthwhile as Nazuna stood there in a tattered pink gown that was draped over in black fishnet and lace here and there. Her arms were clad in black lace fingerless gloves and her tights were again black fishnets with pink ballet shoes to finish the look off. Her hair had been swooped up into a messy bun and she looked like a primitively dead belladonna.

Sango had an entirely different look going on with LOW rider black leather jeans and a barely there red handkerchief top. Her black hair had been combed back into a tight precise ponytail save for two locks of hair. All in all with her boots and dark make up, she looked like Buffy's alter-ego and a glass of Tang.

Kouga walked out of Inu Yasha's room all ready to go and spotted Miroku sitting on the couch dressed in leather pants a tight black t-shirt. Miroku was shaking his head making his hair a bit messy deciding it might look better that way, since he wasn't wearing it in the usual short ponytail.

"Looks like someone is trying to impress a certain young woman he has a crush on," Kouga said, startling Miroku.

"Damn, Kouga, scare the hell out of someone, would ya?!" he said as he stood up straightening his leather studded belt. "I'm not trying to impress anyone," Miroku said as he looked over to Kouga.

"Yeah, alright, you keep telling yourself that," Kouga retorted as Inu Yasha walked into the room, fastening the last of the leather bracelets on his arms to cover his cuts.

The girls came out into the living room moments later bickering about whether or not they should ride in a separate car from the guys or not.

Sango scowled. "I think that we should all ride in just one car, it'll save on gas, and time."

Nazuna whined, "But it'll be so cramped!"

Miroku tilted his head to one side and flashed his ice blue eyes at Sango. "I think Sango is right," he said with a grin, flashing his fangs. "It will save gas."

Inu Yasha stood with his back to the girls tying his hair back half way down its length with a piece of leather cord. "I agree with Nazuna, it's going to be crowded in one car."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh for the love of god will every one just get in the God damned car! Kouga's driving, Sango's in the front so she can operate the radio, and Miroku's in the front so he can grope someone who will smack him back for it. Nazuna's in the back so she can finish fixing my hair and Inu Yasha's in the back, just so I can listen to him bitch."

Inu turned his pale face framed with his dark hair that fell loose from his ponytail towards her. His warm honey colored eyes locked onto Kagome's face his lips pursed for a moment as if he was in deep thought. Then it happened; he opened his mouth. "What in the seven hells do you mean so you can hear me bitch?!"

Kouga promptly clamped a hand over Inu Yasha's mouth. "That's fine, Kagome, we will do it that way."

Sango and Nazuna bickered and spat amongst themselves as they herded each other out to the car. Muuona, who had been rounding up the kids to baby-sit them, waved goodbye to the gothic troupe.

Kagome smiled shyly and lowered herself into the back of the car next to Nazuna so she could finish primping Kagome, her back pressed against the glass of the passenger side door. Sango settle down as well, making herself comfortable so she could easily smack Miroku and adjust the radio knob as they drove. Miroku sat down next to Sango as Kouga got behind the wheel of the car. Inu Yasha grumbled about the car being so damn crowded, that he felt like a sardine. Kouga shot him a glare as he started the car and Inu Yasha shut his trap and went to looking out the window as they pulled out of the drive way.

Kagome slid as close to Nazuna as she could, unconsciously shrinking away from Inu Yasha.

Nazuna grunted. "Dammit, Kagome, stop moving. You're messing up your hair, and crushing me."

Kagome blushed and shifted her gaze to her hands clasped in her lap. "Gomen," she mumbled.

Inu Yasha rolled down the window a bit to get a fresh breath of air. "Damn it, Miroku, how much damn cologne did you put on?" he asked as he made a face.

Miroku rolled his eyes and kept his mouth shut so he wouldn't get hit by Sango or get Kouga preoccupied and cause an accident.

Sango glanced over her shoulder to scowl at Inu Yasha. "I think it smells fine, if it's anything that reeks it's your B.O., Yasha boy. I just hope Kagome doesn't die. No wonder she wanted you to sit in the back. She wanted to sacrifice herself to save the rest of us."

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes and just looked out the window, sinking fast into a fowl mood already.

"I think everyone smells fine." Kouga commented.

Kagome looked up at Sango. "Who put your Gentle Glide up the wrong hole?"

Inu Yasha snickered and lowered his head to hide the smile that was stretched across his face.

Sango's eye twitched as she blared Marilyn Manson's, "This is the New Shit" on the radio.

Miroku and Kouga both sighed at the same time as Inu Yasha raised his head and looked out the window seeing the city lights.

The girls started dancing all seductive like and singing along trying their hardest not to bust out laughing at the look on the guys' faces, especially Miroku's.

Miroku pouted. "You girls shouldn't do things like that."

Inu Yasha whacked Miroku upside the head. "Damn pervert," he snapped at his best friend as Kouga pulled into the parking lot of the club.

Sango shoved Miroku out of the car and into the street. Nazuna and Kagome filed out as well and linked into one of Miroku's arms while Sango wrapped her arms around his neck to smile seductively up at him.

"Ready?" she whispered.

Miroku blushed. "Please don't do this to me tonight?" He whimpered.

Inu Yasha got out of the car and walked past them with a scowl set on his face and Kouga in fast pursuit of him.

Sango just winked and tugged on his collar dragging him towards the club, both giggling girls on either side of him traipsing along with the troupe.

Kouga and Inu Yasha walked into the club, listening to a whimpering Miroku following behind them. "Damn, the pervert asks for it all the time, and when he gets it, he don't know what to do with it," Inu Yasha grumbled.

Kouga laughed and tugged at the younger mans hair "Like you would be any better, Inu."

The little posse brushed passed them. Sango glanced over with a wink and a smirk. "Yea, next is you, Yashy-boy."

Kouga raised a brow at her comment and Inu fought back a blush. Miroku was walking with the girls with a goofy grin on his face. "Oh, lucky me." Miroku said under his breath.

As soon as the girls had Miroku through the door and positioned so he could sit at the table, they turned and grabbed Inu Yasha. Nazuna giggled cheerfully linking an arm around his waist, and Sango gave him a happy wink. The lights of the club played against Kagome's skin as she tried to touch him as little as possible without making the other girls suspicious. She moved in next to him, and looped her arm behind him, but she only rested her hand on his side, and dared not to look him in the face.

Inu Yasha blushed. "I'm warning you girls to let go, and Nazuna I am your brother, for Gods sake, you should help me, not them."

Kouga chuckled as he walked away when he saw Soryo motion him over to the Master's table.

Nazuna grinned. "Or maybe I should go find some hot guy to hang with," she suggested before slipping off to go talk to the guy who had caught her eye.

Sango rolled her eyes, but then she saw Miroku creeping up behind an innocent his hand flexing and ready to dart in for the grope, and then she disappeared soon too to punish a certain lecher.

Left alone with Inu Yasha, Kagome dropped her hand from around his waist and then looked up at him giving him a small smile. "Well, guess that's my cue to leave you to the crowd," she said softly as she turned.

Inu Yasha raised a brow. "Oh, fine, leave me here to get molested by some stranger." He cast her a hurt look. "I just hope they are gentle with me," Inu Yasha sniffled.

Kagome blinked as she looked over her shoulder at him. After getting over the slight surprise, she gave him a dry look. "Oh yea right, you know you like it rough."

Inu Yasha scoffed and sat down at the table next to him. "Yeah, you know it," he said with a sly smirk.

She arched a brow. "I do? Did I loose a few hours last night while I was drunk? I mean if I did, damn, it really must have sucked."

His gaze darkened. "Yeah, I was sober and still I can't remember it, so it must have really been bad," Inu Yasha said dryly.

The small smirk disappeared from Kagome's face. She gave a last halfhearted smile, keeping her eyes lowered. "I'll talk to you later, Inu Yasha," she said softly, turning again to loose herself in the crowd.

Inu Yasha looked up in the direction she had left in and blinked. "Ok, what did I do now?" he asked himself.

Kouga walked over to the stage after he was done talking with Soryo and Ryo. He grabbed the mic. "Tonight, we have a special treat," Kouga said with a smile, "Tonight, Inu Yasha is going to sing for us," his voice boomed out over the speakers all around the club snapping Inu Yasha out of his daze.

"Huh? What? I never agreed to that!" He stood up and growled out loud, his soft black hair tumbling all around him.

Kagome's head shot up at Kouga's words and she choked on her Bacardi. "Nani??" she sputtered.

"Inu Yasha, would you please come up on stage?" Kouga asked as he smiled out at the crowd.

Inu Yasha snorted as he made his way through the crowd, his golden eyes watching the people clear a path so he could get to the stage. Inu Yasha stepped up on stage and covered the mic with his hand. "I never agreed to do this, Kouga," he snapped, "You volunteered me for it!"

Kouga smirked. "You know you want to do it."

Inu Yasha wrinkled his nose at Kouga. "You so owe me for this, Kouga," he said as his eye twitched in aggravation.

Kouga laughed. "I know, I know, I will make it up to you later, I promise," the older man said with a wink.

Inu Yasha growled. "And what the hell do you want me to sing?!" he asked, clearly pissed off.

Kouga just shrugged leaving Inu Yasha on stage by himself.

As a pair of silver eyes eyed the pair on stage, the bartender behind them chuckled. Turning around, Kagome looked at him questioningly. The bartender smiled.

"Those two fight like an old married couple, but have sex like teenage porn freaks when they make up. I think they fight just to have the make up sex, what about you?"

An aide behind the bar nodded and laughed as he bustled about, cleaning up.

Kagome's eyes just darkened slightly before they fell to the counter and she downed the rest of her rum. "Just as long as they don't wake up my charges they can do what ever the hell they want," she muttered.

Kagome turned, a look on her face showing the hurt she felt. She had gotten what she deserved though. She knew Inu Yasha was already taken, and she had gone off and fallen in love with him.'

Her eyes flew open. 'Wait, love? I'm not in love! Not a chance!' But as she sat there thinking, realization was dawning on her. Her eyes fell on Inu Yasha up on stage and her heart leapt into her throat. Sighing at her body's betrayal and reaction to him, she looked down at the floor. 'If there's a prize for rotten judgment, I guess I've already won that. No man is worth this aggravation.' Another voice in her head chided her and for a while the two went on bickering, before Kagome as a whole came to a realization.

She was in love with Inu Yasha.
