A/N: Here it is, as promised. Please review. They keep me going.
PLEASE READ: Just a quick, but important note. I have changed my e-mail on fan fiction.net, and on media miner.org. Also, my penname has changed on ff.net. It is now kojika00. I looked into changing it on mm.org, but it seems like that is not an option. However, I am very serious about changing my penname. I hate malititadixie. I have for a while now. So, as soon as this story is finished, epilogue and all, I’ll be deleting my profile on mm.org, making a new on, with a new penname, and re-posting all my stories.
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor have I ever owned Inuyasha. He and all of the other character belong to Takahashi-sama. If I owned them, I would have ended the manga with a little less talk-y, and a little more smooch-y.
Chapter 21:
A Night On the Town
“Hello?” came a heavily accented voice from the other end of the line. Inuyasha recognized it as a French accent, but knew it to be Haitian instead.
“Hi, my name is Inuyasha. I’m calling because I would like to meet with you.”
“For what purpose?” she asked with a little anxiety in her voice. Something must have her up in arms and Inuyasha wondered if it had anything to do with the sword.
“I have been sent to you by a man named Totosai,” he answered in the most reassuring way he could possibly muster. It would do him no good to spook the woman.
The name defiantly rang bell for Jacqueline. She agreed to meet with he and Kagome the next day. Inuyasha hung up after giving her a warning about what all had happened. Jacqueline needed to know what was going on in case Naraku figured everything out. The last thing he needed was Naraku to find out where Jacqueline lived.
After hanging up the phone, Inuyasha set out to find Kagome. He found her making them lunch in the kitchen. She was dressed casually, in a pair of loose jeans and a baby-doll tee, but he couldn’t help but let his gaze wander up her long legs and her toned torso. He couldn’t believe how wonderfully lucky he was to have found her.
After a few more moments, Kagome saw him from the corner of her eye and turned to smile at him. She motioned for him to set down at the island in the middle of the small kitchen, and served him a plate full of food. She knew enough about him by now not to deny him a very large portion.
“Well, that didn’t take as long as I thought it would. We won’t be meeting her until tomorrow. Did you still want to go sight-seeing?” he asked as she sat on the other side of the island with her own plate of food.
“Yes!” she exclaimed. “Are you sure it’s safe?”
“Yeah, it’s fine. I talked to Sesshoumaru and told him that we’re picking up a different car. I going to get tinted windows and we’ll make sure to stay in places with lots of people.”
“Okay, where do you want to go first?”
“That’s your decision,” he explained, fishing for something in his back pocket. “Here are some brochures.”
Kagome scanned the pamphlets as she finished lunch. She picked a few places and pointed them out to Inuyasha. He couldn’t help the small smile on his face at her eagerness. She really did have a child-like quality about her. He hoped he could always keep her this happy.
“Okay,” he began. “We’ll go, but I want to take you somewhere tonight. It’s one of my favorites places here. We’ll eat dinner before we go.”
Kagome nodded enthusiastically as she gathered the dirty dishes and placed them in the sink. She washed while Inuyasha dried the dishes and put them where they were supposed to go. Kagome felt her heart soar at the whole affair. She kept imagining them doing something like this in their own home one day. It felt so wonderful to do such mundane things with him.
After the kitchen was cleaned, they each got ready for the day. Kagome kept jumping excitedly and Inuyasha kept chuckling at her eagerness.
----------------------------------------
On the streets of New Orleans, a lone woman in understated clothing was walking and mingling with everyone else on the sidewalk. Kagura was biding her time, waiting for the call she was dreading. She wasn’t very far from her target, but she needed to get there quickly, in case they decided to brave the out-of-doors. Naraku had been certain that they would. It was what the whole plan was riding on.
‘I know what I must do,’ she said to herself, trying to find more confidence. ‘I just need to find a way to do it without that guy trying to shoot me.‘ That was the entire problem in a nutshell. If Naraku’s plan went as he said it would, she wouldn’t need to worry at all. However, not everything goes as planed.
‘This is not going to be easy. Curse that Naraku! After this job, I am going to try again to find a way to be free of him. If I don’t figure it out soon, death may be my only escape.’
Kagura slipped into a hotel‘s garage, and waited for her pesky cell phone to ring again.
----------------------------------------
“I had so much fun today. Thank you for taking me to all those places.”
Inuyasha smiled. Kagome had made going to all those crowded places well worth it. Even if there were way too many people for his taste, all he had to do was look at the sheer amazement on her face, and he felt as if he could stick it out that much longer.
“No problem. I had fun, too. But, you’re going to have even more fun tonight,” Inuyasha promised, fixing his red tie. The restaurant they were going to was ‘jacket and tie required’. His red tie stood out starkly against his black button-down shirt, black blazer, and black slacks. The only other thing that wasn’t black, were his red Converse sneakers he was so well known for back at the college where he taught. Kagome had giggled when she saw the shoes, but kissed him on the cheek and told him that it was what she expected.
Inuyasha smiled at that. She was perfect in every way, wasn’t she?
Only a few moments after he had finished with his tie did Kagome emerge from the bathroom, stealing his breath from his chest.
He had let her go into a clothing store by herself earlier in the day. She wanted to pick out something and surprise him, but he definitely wasn’t expecting the sight she presented him with.
The dress she had chosen looked like it had been made only for her. It was a black halter dress that had an high waistline, and flowed from under her slightly exposed cleavage, to right above her knees. The sheen from the material told him that if it wasn’t silk, it was going to at least feel like it to his fingertips. ’The Dress From Hell’, as he had already dubbed it in his mind, dipped down so low in the back, that Inuyasha could see the dimples at the base of her spine. The heels she had paired it with were three inch sandals that accented her calves and slender ankles. All in all, it was going to be a miracle if he could make it through the night without trying to grope her in some manner. He was so wrapped up in his own thoughts, that he completely missed the timid question that she had asked him.
“Huh,” he asked, and then cringed at his own lack of eloquence.
Kagome giggled at his response and then tried again. She couldn’t blame the guy. It was hard enough to keep her mind out of the gutter, as well. Who would have known Inuyasha would look so yummy in a suit. Even if he did insist on wearing those brightly colored shoes.
“I asked if you were ready to go?”
Inuyasha nodded and moved toward her so he could slip her dainty hand in the crook of his arm and lead her to the elevator. He just didn’t trust himself to speak, so he decided not to try until he could form at least one complete thought.
----------------------------------------
The dinner had been perfect, thanks to his dear old half-brother. Sesshoumaru had called in the reservation, so the staff at the restaurant had made damn sure that everything for the couple was special. Kagome couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that they had their own, private dinning area in a five star establishment. The service had overwhelmed her a bit, and she was looking forward to Sesshoumaru and Rin deciding that they’d had enough fun trying to make up for everything.
Kagome was a simple girl, and she couldn’t help but notice that Inuyasha was having a problem with all the extra attention, as well.
Her suspicions were confirmed when, the moment they stepped out onto the street, Inuyasha called his brother and sister-in-law, making sure they knew to stop going over the top.
“I’m sorry that they’re interfering,” he sighed.
Kagome smiled as they walked to were Inuyasha had promised to take her after dinner.
“It’s okay,” she replied. “They love you, and want to do nice things for you.”
Inuyasha scoffed. “It has nothing to do with me. You’re the one they’re trying to impress. Well, not so much Sesshoumaru as Rin. She really likes you and I guess she wants you to…stick around,” he finished, trying to look everywhere but at Kagome.
They hadn’t really talked about what would happen after the sword was found. Inuyasha found himself wishing it would take longer, as ludicrous as it sounded. Here he was, only a few miles from what he had wanted for ten years. Then this girl had shown up and completely changed his priorities. Everything was so insane. He wanted her to stay so badly, and he hadn’t even really known her all that long. Inuyasha wanted to ask her right then what she would do, but he had never been more scared in his life as to what the answer might be.
“Um…” he began and noticed the smile on Kagome’s face. He waited when she looked at him with such a glint of mischief in her eyes.
Kagome had read between the lines. She found herself being able to hear what he wasn’t saying more and more. It wasn’t that Rin wanted her to stay. Okay, so maybe Rin did want her to stay, but that wasn’t the point. Inuyasha was just as scared as she was when it came to this whole business of what would become of them. She could hear it in his voice, feel the tension rolling off his body. He wasn’t saying that Rin wanted her to stay, he was saying to it wasn’t just Rin. He didn’t want her to leave. She heard what he said in between the words.
The realization made Kagome’s heart want to burst from her chest.
Inuyasha didn’t have to wait long before she grabbed his hand and started to reply.
“Well, she might very well get her wish. I didn’t realize how much I missed the States. I forgot how beautiful it is here. Although, I would like to see the mountains. Don’t you live near the mountains, Inuyasha?” she asked, throwing him a coy smile around her hunched shoulder.
He could hear what wasn’t being said, too.
I’ll stay here, as long as I get to be near you.
Inuyasha felt the breath he didn’t even know he was holding suddenly burst from his lungs. A smile, that looked entirely too cocky to Kagome, found its way to his lips.
“Yeah, I sure do,” he said.
I want you to be with me.
Kagome smiled again, and tightened her grip on his hand. There were some plans to be made, but at least they knew what they both wanted. Those wants were surprisingly simple. They wanted each other.
Only a few minutes passed as they were basking in the glow of a new found peace, when they came upon a club with neon signs all around it. Almost all of them were advertising different types of alcohol, except the one on the very top of the building reading, ‘Buck’s’.
“We’re here,” Inuyasha announced, and they made their way inside.
The entire place was blanketed in a cloud of smoke, and it took Kagome a few seconds to get used to the smell. Once she did, she felt that the haziness added to the atmosphere. The blue of the neon lights above the bar, glanced off the smog, and made the whole room glow in an other-worldly way.
The place was set up with a bar running along side the entire right wall, and it had people setting on bar stools the whole way down. On the left, were low tables and chairs. In the middle, it had stairs that added a new level to the building. There were only a few tables butted up against the walls, because there were so many people in the very middle dancing, they wouldn’t be able to fit any more tables if they wanted to.
At the very back of the long establishment, was a large stage, with a four piece band playing. There was a man singing and playing the guitar, a man playing a stand-up bass, a man playing a simple set of drums, and a woman who was also adding vocals. The beat was infectious and Kagome felt her entire body start swaying to the rhythm.
Inuyasha tightened his grip on her hand, and led her to one of the only table left open in the lower section. It was only a few moments after they were seated, that a waitress that didn’t look any different than the patrons, came up and asked what they wanted to drink. Kagome ordered a cocktail while Inuyasha ordered a domestic beer, and when the waitress left, he proceeded to make himself comfortable by losing the tie, the blazer, and while he was at it, a few of the top buttons had to go, too.
Kagome, with a playful smile on her face, rolled her eyes and shook her head.
“Feh,” he replied, receiving a giggle in return.
“Thank you for everything today. I had a lot of fun. I know that’s not what we’re here for, but thank you anyway.” She looked so happy to him. He understood why she had denied herself happiness for so long, but it still didn’t sit right with him. She was meant to be happy, and he would make sure from this day forward.
“You’re very welcome,” came his reply. “I had fun too. I hadn’t gotten around to seeing some of the places you wanted to see, yet.”
Kagome smiled at him, all the while sipping at her drink and swaying to the music.
The song she had been listening to ended, and she looked to the stage. The man that was playing the guitar laid his instrument down on a stand, and the rest of the musician’s left the stage, with the exception of the woman. She moved her microphone stand to a piano set at the very back of the stage. Shortly after, the man who had abandoned his guitar sat at the sleek, black piano and adjusted the microphone that had been placed there for him.
“Dance with me,” came Inuyasha’s request.
Kagome stared at him with wide eyes. She couldn’t tell him no, even though it had been years since she was ever on a dance floor. The last time she could remember was a cousin’s wedding, years ago, where Miroku had made her dance with him.
She couldn’t tell him no, not with him looking so hopeful.
Kagome placed her hand in his, and they made they’re way into the center of all the couples that had already taken positions.
The first tickles of keys could be heard, and Inuyasha smiled at her, and took the first step.
Also, just a quick warning. This next chapter is pretty much all lemon. However, there are some subtle things that happen. If you do not want to read it because of the graphic nature, please contact me, and I’ll e-mail you a synopsis, as there will be no clean chapter. I repeat: There will be NO clean chapter 22.
See you on July 29th!

“You’re going to have to get a little closer to me than that, Kagome. That’s not how you dance to a song like this. Look at the people around you,” he prompted.

A /N: Yes, this is very short compared to my usual length of chapters, but it needed to end here for the moment. I have something very special planned for the next chapter, so I hope you all stay tuned. By the way, I haven’t heard any complaints about the review responses being on livejournal, so I’ll continue to do them that way until I hear otherwise. Once again, the web address is malitiadixie. livejournal. comAlso, just a quick warning. This next chapter is pretty much all lemon. However, there are some subtle things that happen. If you do not want to read it because of the graphic nature, please contact me, and I’ll e-mail you a synopsis, as there will be no clean chapter. I repeat: There will be NO clean chapter 22.
See you on July 29th!

Cha pter 22:My First Love
Now we've been through too much togetherAnd that's separate us from the restNow we are approaching up on stormy weatherLet's see what our love is made of
Kagome gave a little squeak as Inuyasha pulled her swiftly into his body. She had heard him laugh at her, again, and was about to chaste him before his hard torso collided with hers. The next thing she knew, his hand was so low on her back, that he was almost touching her bottom. His other hand went to brush her hair from her neck, so he could gently kiss her. The moist breath on her ear made her tremble.“You’re going to have to get a little closer to me than that, Kagome. That’s not how you dance to a song like this. Look at the people around you,” he prompted.
(Please, remember that this hasn’t been edited, yet.)
