xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX xXxXx
Kagome was currently sitting in the back seat of Miroku’s car. About two hours prior, Inuyasha had driven Kagome back to the house she shared with her friends so that she could change for the evening. He himself had gone back to his own home to change as well, and he had told her that he would meet her at the club.
Kagura and Sango had helped Kagome pick out her clothes as usual. Kagome was wearing a pair of dark colored low rise jeans and a short cobalt blue tube dress that reached her mid-thigh. She wore a pair of black heels and had a black cloth belt wrapped around her waist. Kagura had on a black tulle mini skirt, a hot pink one shoulder shirt that had tied on both sides of her stomach and it reached only to a couple of inches below her breasts. Sango wore a mid-thigh length jean skirt, an emerald green halter top that had an empire style waist line, the hem reaching a couple of inches above her navel.
Kagura had left moments before Miroku, Sango and Kagome, with Sesshoumaru, and they were now on their way to the club. After a few minutes they parked the car and they went to wait in line. Waiting in line was a quite boring affair, but after about ten minutes they were in the front of the line.
“I.D.’s” The bouncer said gruffly. Miroku and the girls pulled out their I.D.’s and as Sango handed her to the man he began to speak again. “I’m sorry miss, there is no way that this is your I.D. you are much sexier than the woman in this picture.” He said while ogling Sango’s curves and exposed stomach. Sango blushed from embarrassment and Miroku’s cheeks grew hot with anger. No one, and I mean no one, hit on his Sango.
Just as Miroku was about to do something he’d most likely regret in the morning, Inuyasha walked up behind Miroku and put his hand on Miroku’s shoulder. The bouncer’s eyes grew rather large. “Mr. Satou! I had no idea that you were going to be here this evening!”
“Yes, well I am, and it seems to me like you’re giving my girlfriend and her friends a hard time.” Inuyasha stated as he removed his hand from Miroku’s shoulder and pulled Kagome over to himself and interlaced their fingers.
“Oh, I’m so sorry Mr. Satou, it will never happen again! Please go in, free of charge tonight!” The bouncer exclaimed while letting the four of them pass. When they entered the door, Inuyasha looked up to find his three friends staring at him.
“What?” He questioned them.
“First off, why didn’t you let me pummel him? And second, how did he know who you are?” Miroku questioned Inuyasha.
“Well, I didn’t let you pummel him because my girlfriend and I would like to spend this lovely evening together here and I was not about to let you ruin that.” Inuyasha stated evenly in a ‘matter-of-fact’ tone, his words making Kagome’s cheeks grow hot, she still wasn’t used to being called his girlfriend.
“Okay, that part I understand, but how did he know you?” Miroku asked again with a questioning look across his features.
“He, his wife, and his oldest son all work under me at father’s company. In fact, I believe it’s time that he got demoted.” Inuyasha ginned.
“Oh, Inuyasha don’t make someone lose their job because of me!” Sango stated with pleading eyes.
“It’s fine Sango, they won’t lose their job. They just won’t like it as much.” Inuyasha said with a smirk.
“Well, okay.” Sango said still a little unhappy that someone’s job was in jeopardy because of her. Miroku tugged on her arm slightly and began walking in the direction that he knew he would find Kagura and Sesshoumaru. As Inuyasha and Kagome walked behind them, Inuyasha spoke up again.
“You look really good tonight Kagome.” Inuyasha smiled as he slipped his hand back into hers.
“Thanks. You look nice too.” She blushed softly. Inuyasha could tell that she still wasn’t used to him complimenting her, or even showing her affection. ‘That Hojo must have been a real jerk if she isn’t used to compliments and affection.’ He thought to himself.
The club was a three-story building. The whole first floor was a dance floor. There were two paths from the front door that led to two staircases that when up to the second floor. The second and third floors were not whole floors, they only circled around the outer edge of the building, and instead of having walls on the inside, they just had railings that went around, so if you were standing on the third floor, you could see all the way down to the dance floor.
The second floor had a bar that went all the way around the building there were a few bar stools placed here and there, but the space was really open. The third floor was a floor that had many tables placed around it so that those who needed a rest could have one. The group was currently walking up to the third floor so that they could meet up with Kagura and Sesshoumaru.
They got to the third floor and looked around for a few seconds before spotting Sesshoumaru’s ‘fluffy’ silver hair sticking out against the black background and they walked over to the table that they were seated at. By looking at the table, you could tell that Sesshoumaru was on his second glass of sake. Sesshoumaru was a drinker by birth, he did however, know when to stop, and he could handle the sake much better than most.
“So, are we gonna dance or sit here all night?” Kagura asked the group while getting up. They all mumbled an okay while they moved back down to the first floor. Inuyasha took Kagome by the hand and walked to an empty space in the dance floor that was big enough for the two of them and the moment that he stopped and dropped her hand, she began to dance. Inuyasha took just a moment to watch Kagome’s movement before he himself started to dance. He was amazed that sweet little Kagome could dance so, how did he put it ‘dirty.’
The moment that he himself started to move to the beat of the music, Kagome moved closer to him and put her arms around his neck and started moving her hips in sync with his. He was still a little shocked to say the least, he had no idea that Kagome was going to be like this, it was like the moment that she began to feel the music, his almost childish and innocent Kagome was swept out of the room and he was left with an almost erotic, forbidden version of the woman he had brought through the door with him.
Of course, as he was Inuyasha, he didn’t mind the transformation so much. Once he had gotten over his shock, he placed his hands down on her hips and the two of them continued moving with the music.
She herself was quite impressed by Inuyasha, not by the fact that he could dance, she figured that would be a given, but rather by the fact that he was shocked by the way that she was handling herself out on the dance floor. He must have known that she wasn’t shy all the time, especially not with him. ‘But this is the dense Inuyasha Satou we’re talking about here.’ She told herself as she felt him place his hands on her hips, making her only want to move them more, so she did.
The two of them continued to dance, one pressed up against the other for about 45 minutes before she began to grow a little tired. He noticed this and stopped his movement.
“Do you wanna go sit down for a minute?” He asked over the loud music. She only nodded her head in reply. He took her by the hand and lead her out of the crowd and the two of them walked up to the third floor and to the table that Kagura and Sesshoumaru had been at previously. The two of them sat down at the table and Kagome was resting her head on Inuyasha’s shoulder while trying to catch her breath. “So, what happened to you?”
“What do you mean?” She asked him with an eyebrow quirked.
“Where did shy little Kagome go while we were down there?” He asked while intertwining their fingers.
“Hey, I’m not shy all the time! Besides, there’s got to be a time when I have fun right?” She replied, her voice carrying an almost defensive tone, that Inuyasha picked up on quickly.
“No need to get defensive, I didn’t say that I didn’t like it.” He smirked at her almost suggestively. Kagome caught the look and pushed him away from her playfully, making him pout a little.
“Quit your pouting. Now... will Inuyasha be the lovely sweetheart that he is and go get me a water?” Kagome questioned while batting her eyelashes.
“Keh, I suppose I could handle that.” He smiled. “I’ll be right back okay?” She only nodded as he got up to go and fetch (heh) her water.

Five Minutes Later
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX xXx
Inuyasha was walking back to the table that he had left Kagome at, he had two waters in his hands. As he approached the table, he saw a man sitting with Kagome. The man had a dark color of hair, it was too dark in the room to tell if it was black or just a dark brown, and it was pulled up into a high ponytail. The man was holding onto Kagome’s hand on top of the table and he was leaned in really close while talking to her. Inuyasha could tell by the look on Kagome’s face that she didn’t want the guy there. Too bad the guy didn’t get the clue, well, Inuyasha would just have to give her some reinforcements.
Inuyasha walked up to the table before he spoke. “What in the hell do you think you’re doing with my girlfriend?” Inuyasha asked the stranger. He could see Kagome visibly sigh with relief. The man turned around so that he could see Inuyasha.
“I’m sorry, you must be mistaken, Kagome is my girlfriend.” The man said with a wolfish grin on his face.
“Okay, what is your name?” Inuyasha questioned the man.
“Kouga.”
“Well Kouga, if Kagome is your girlfriend, then could you please explain to me why I’ve been dating her for nearly a month and the fact that she is here tonight with me instead of you.” Inuyasha questioned Kouga with a grin of his own. Kouga turned sharply to look at Kagome.
“How could you two time me Kagome? How?” Kouga questioned her with an almost strangled voice while standing up and moving almost next to Inuyasha.
“I’m not dating you Kouga, I never have been, I never will be, and I’ve told you that before.” Kagome answered. Kouga looked heartbroken for a moment but then he turned toward Inuyasha at took a swing at him. Inuyasha dropped both of the waters that he was holding, making them roll somewhere far away, he ducked from the punch that Kouga had sent and then he stood up and planted his own punch directly in Kouga’s nose, which effectively knocked Kouga out.
Inuyasha wrung out his hand for a moment while Kagome jumped out of her seat to check on Kouga. Once she had made sure that he was still alive and that his nose was in fact not broken, she turned to Inuyasha.
“Thanks.” She smiled. Inuyasha huffed slightly.
“Who was that?” He asked while shaking his fist again.
“He’s a guy I knew in highschool. He’s been obsessed with me for the past three or four years.” Kagome answered while pulling up Inuyasha’s hand to her face to inspect that he hadn’t hurt himself either. Although his hand was slightly red around the knuckles, she determined that he would be okay.
“I’ll be back. I gotta replace that water of yours... and I think I’m gonna need something stronger for me now.” He said with an almost pained smile. “There aren’t going to be any more creepy guys here when I get back, are there?”
“Not that I’m expecting.” She smirked at him. He laughed at her before walking back down to the second floor. Kagome went and sat back down. A few minutes later a couple of bouncers came up to her and asked if the guy on the floor was Kouga and when she nodded they picked him up and whisked his limp body away. She laughed softly to herself and as she did, Inuyasha returned and sat the bottle of water down in front of her. He sat down beside her and she again rested her head on his shoulder.
“I’m sorry about Kouga.” She smiled.
“It’s okay.” He replied with a slight stutter in his voice. She looked over to the glass of sake that he had and stared at it for a moment.
“Just exactly how much did you have to drink while you were down there?” She asked after taking another drink of her water.
“Not too much.” He replied after finishing off the glass of sake he had in one drink. “You wanna go dance some more?”
“Yeah, sure.” Kagome stated with a slight look of puzzlement on her face. Inuyasha really was drinking a lot from what she could tell. She only hoped that he could hold his sake like Sesshoumaru. They walked back down to the first floor, by that time Kagome was really hoping that he could hold his sake. He had stopped on the second floor and gotten another glass of sake, downed it in one gulp and then took her hand and led her down to the first floor.
Kagome just quirked an eyebrow at him while he led her back out on the dance floor so that they were standing next to Sango and Miroku. When they got there Sango turned to them.
“Hey, we’re gonna go sit down for a bit okay?” Sango questioned Kagome. Kagome nodded her head as Inuyasha put his hands on her hips and pulled her body back up next to his. Sango and Miroku then left for the third floor as Inuyasha and Kagome continued to dance.

An Hour Later
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX xXx
The group, minus Sesshoumaru and Kagura, were back up on the third floor, sitting at the table, taking a short brake. In the past hour Inuyasha had drunk, from what Kagome had seen, four more glasses of sake. As they sat, Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was starting to get a bit woozy.
“Do you think we should take him home?” Miroku questioned as Inuyasha began talking to himself, ignoring their conversation.
“No, you guys stay. I’ll just drive him home in his car. You guys deserve to have your fun.” Kagome stated while moving herself out of the seating area.
“Okay, just be careful.” Sango stated while Miroku nodded in agreement.
“I will.” Kagome replied. She turned to Inuyasha and flicked him in his forehead, bringing him back to their world.
“Hey! What did you do that for?” He asked with a slight slur.
“Come on, Inuyasha, we’re going home.” She stated while helping him get up and out of his chair.
“Fine.” He huffed while she helped him walk down the stairs and outside. Once they were outside of the club, she turned to him.
“Where did you park your car?” She questioned him, her only reply was him pointing in a general direction. Kagome lead him in the direction that he had pointed and after a few minutes of walking, and a few wrong turns, she found his car. “Can I have your keys?”
“No, I’ll drive.” He huffed and then fumbled around in his pockets for his keys.
“Okay, if you insist.” Kagome stated with a grin on her face. When Inuyasha finally fought his keys out of his pocket, Kagome snatched them out of his hands and unlocked the passenger door. She opened the door and pushed him into the seat making sure that he didn’t hit his head on the top of the car. “Put on your seatbelt.” She ordered, which he did after a moment of fumbling around, he had apparently forgotten that he was the one who was ‘supposed’ to drive.
Kagome went around to the other side of the car and got into the driver seat. She put on her seatbelt and started the car and then she proceeded in driving to Satou Mansion.
When they reached the mansion she parked the car, turned it off and then got out and walked to the passenger side of the car. Once she had the door open, she had to help Inuyasha out of the seatbelt and then out of the car. After she had gotten him out of the car, he put his arm around her shoulder and Kagome helped him up the stairs and to the front door of the house.
It was only ten o’clock. Kagome was slightly surprised when as she reached the front door, it swung open. In the doorway stood a well-dressed woman that Kagome didn’t know. The woman looked to be in her mid to late 40's, she had long flowing black hair that was nearly as long as Kagome’s and dark piercing eyes.
“Um.. Hi?” Kagome said with a quirked eyebrow, he cheeks flushing from embarrassment of hauling Inuyasha up to the front door of his house.
“Hi momma Izayoi!” Inuyasha greeted loudly with a slur to his mother who shook her head at her son’s actions.
“Hello, my name is Izayoi, I’m this brutes mother.” The woman smiled politely. “You must be Kagome.” Kagome nodded her head. “Would you like me to take my horrible son off of your hands?”
Kagome began to open her mouth but Inuyasha beat her to it. “No momma Izayoi, I want Kaggycakes to take me to bed.” Inuyasha said a bit louder than his previous sentence. Kagome continued her blush.
“Um... It’s okay, I’ll take him to his room if you’ll point me in the right direction, since he seems to be so demanding.” Kagome replied with a small giggle.
“Follow me.” Izayoi said with a smile of her own. Izayoi led Kagome up the stairs and through the hallway until they reached the fourth door on the left-hand side of the long hallway. Izayoi stopped in front of the door and opened it for Kagome.
“Thank you.” Kagome smiled politely, the weight of Inuyasha’s arm getting heavier by the moment.
“Go away momma Izayoi. I don’t need your help!” Inuyasha huffed at his mom. Izayoi just rolled her eyes as if she had encountered this kind of behavior from him before.
“Kagome, you are more than welcome to stay here for the night if you wish. This room across the hall is a guest room. It should suit you fine.” Izayoi said while a smile while pointing to the mentioned room.
“Thank you again.” Kagome said with a smiled as Izayoi turned and walked back down the stairs. Kagome walked Inuyasha into his room. She stopped for a moment to take in the large size and extravagantness of the room. ‘Of course it’s big and beautiful. He lives in a mansion you dolt.’
Kagome walked over toward the large bed that was covered in deep crimson sheets and a dark black comforter. She unceremoniously dropped him on the bed and he immediately lied down. Kagome walked down to the foot of the bed and pulled his shoes off of his feet and dropped them on the floor. She then walked back up to where his face was and saw that his eyes were closed. She leaned down toward him and poked his forehead, making his eyes pop open immediately.
“Goodnight Inuyasha.” Kagome smiled at him and started to pull her arm away from his face. Before she could, however, Inuyasha grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her down into the bed with him. “What do you think you’re doing?” She questioned him in a seemingly harsh tone.
“I want my Kaggycakes to stay with me!” Inuyasha grinned while grabbing hold of her waist. Kagome rolled her eyes as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her up next to his body. Kagome tried to push him away and get out of the bed, but he won’t let her. “Stay Kaggycakes! I’ve got to protect you from that big bad Kouga!”
Kagome sighed as she realized that despite the fact that Inuyasha was pretty drunk, he was still stronger than her and that she wasn’t going to get to go anywhere. She decided that she had might as well make herself comfortable. She softly used her feet to remove her shoes and almost expertly slid off her belt and dropped it behind her on the floor.
As she did this Inuyasha pulled her closer to him and snuggled into her warm. “Goodnight Kaggycakes.” He smiled as he swiftly fell asleep.
‘I wonder how Izayoi and Inutaisho are going to feel about this in the morning. Well, it’s too late to worry about that now.’She said to herself, knowing that Inuyasha’s parents were most likely not going to like their first impression of her, despite how nice Izayoi had been to her only moments before. Soon after this thought, Kagome too drifted into sleep.

Chapter Quotes: (bunches of ‘em!)
“I’m sorry miss, there is no way that this is your I.D. you are much sexier than the woman in this picture.” He said while ogling Sango’s curves and exposed stomach.----- Move over old man! There is only enough room for one lecher in this story... and Miroku fills that position very well! :D
“Oh, Inuyasha don’t make someone lose their job because of me!” Sango stated with pleading eyes.----- That sounds more like a Kagome kind of line but.. Oh well!
“Quit your pouting. Now... will Inuyasha be the lovely sweetheart that he is and go get me a water?” Kagome questioned while batting her eyelashes.----- That’s it Kagome, use a woman’s trickery on him!
“Well Kouga, if Kagome is your girlfriend, then could you please explain to me why I’ve been dating her for nearly a month and the fact that she is here tonight with me instead of you.” Inuyasha questioned Kouga with a grin of his own.----- You tell him Yasha!
“I’ll be back. I gotta replace that water of yours... and I think I’m gonna need something stronger for me now.” He said with an almost pained smile. ---- And now all hell will break loose....
“No, I’ll drive.” He huffed and then fumbled around in his pockets for his keys.----- Good luck with that....
“No momma Izayoi, I want Kaggycakes to take me to bed.” Inuyasha said a bit louder than his previous sentence. Kagome continued her blush.----- He addresses people funny when he’s drunk... he would normally just call Izayoi ‘Mother’ so... don’t expect him to call her that all the time. Plus could you imagine how much teasing Miroku could create out of ‘Kaggycakes’?
“Stay Kaggycakes! I’ve got to protect you from that big bad Kouga!”----- I so badly wanted to say ‘big bad wolf’ but there are no demon’s in this story so I was like “Gah!” lol

He must have known that she wasn’t shy all the time, especially not with him. ‘But this is the dense Inuyasha Satou we’re talking about here.’ She told herself as she felt him place his hands on her hips, making her only want to move them more, so she did.
The two of them continued to dance, one pressed up against the other for about 45 minutes before she began to grow a little tired. He noticed this and stopped his movement.
“Do you wanna go sit down for a minute?” He asked over the loud music. She only nodded her head in reply. He took her by the hand and lead her out of the crowd and the two of them walked up to the third floor and to the table that Kagura and Sesshoumaru had been at previously. The two of them sat down at the table and Kagome was resting her head on Inuyasha’s shoulder while trying to catch her breath. “So, what happened to you?”
“What do you mean?” She asked him with an eyebrow quirked.
“Where did shy little Kagome go while we were down there?” He asked while intertwining their fingers.
“Hey, I’m not shy all the time! Besides, there’s got to be a time when I have fun right?” She replied, her voice carrying an almost defensive tone, that Inuyasha picked up on quickly.
“No need to get defensive, I didn’t say that I didn’t like it.” He smirked at her almost suggestively. Kagome caught the look and pushed him away from her playfully, making him pout a little.
“Quit your pouting. Now... will Inuyasha be the lovely sweetheart that he is and go get me a water?” Kagome questioned while batting her eyelashes.
“Keh, I suppose I could handle that.” He smiled. “I’ll be right back okay?” She only nodded as he got up to go and fetch (heh) her water.

Five Minutes Later
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX xXx
Inuyasha was walking back to the table that he had left Kagome at, he had two waters in his hands. As he approached the table, he saw a man sitting with Kagome. The man had a dark color of hair, it was too dark in the room to tell if it was black or just a dark brown, and it was pulled up into a high ponytail. The man was holding onto Kagome’s hand on top of the table and he was leaned in really close while talking to her. Inuyasha could tell by the look on Kagome’s face that she didn’t want the guy there. Too bad the guy didn’t get the clue, well, Inuyasha would just have to give her some reinforcements.
Inuyasha walked up to the table before he spoke. “What in the hell do you think you’re doing with my girlfriend?” Inuyasha asked the stranger. He could see Kagome visibly sigh with relief. The man turned around so that he could see Inuyasha.
“I’m sorry, you must be mistaken, Kagome is my girlfriend.” The man said with a wolfish grin on his face.
“Okay, what is your name?” Inuyasha questioned the man.
“Kouga.”
“Well Kouga, if Kagome is your girlfriend, then could you please explain to me why I’ve been dating her for nearly a month and the fact that she is here tonight with me instead of you.” Inuyasha questioned Kouga with a grin of his own. Kouga turned sharply to look at Kagome.
“How could you two time me Kagome? How?” Kouga questioned her with an almost strangled voice while standing up and moving almost next to Inuyasha.
“I’m not dating you Kouga, I never have been, I never will be, and I’ve told you that before.” Kagome answered. Kouga looked heartbroken for a moment but then he turned toward Inuyasha at took a swing at him. Inuyasha dropped both of the waters that he was holding, making them roll somewhere far away, he ducked from the punch that Kouga had sent and then he stood up and planted his own punch directly in Kouga’s nose, which effectively knocked Kouga out.
Inuyasha wrung out his hand for a moment while Kagome jumped out of her seat to check on Kouga. Once she had made sure that he was still alive and that his nose was in fact not broken, she turned to Inuyasha.
“Thanks.” She smiled. Inuyasha huffed slightly.
“Who was that?” He asked while shaking his fist again.
“He’s a guy I knew in highschool. He’s been obsessed with me for the past three or four years.” Kagome answered while pulling up Inuyasha’s hand to her face to inspect that he hadn’t hurt himself either. Although his hand was slightly red around the knuckles, she determined that he would be okay.
“I’ll be back. I gotta replace that water of yours... and I think I’m gonna need something stronger for me now.” He said with an almost pained smile. “There aren’t going to be any more creepy guys here when I get back, are there?”
“Not that I’m expecting.” She smirked at him. He laughed at her before walking back down to the second floor. Kagome went and sat back down. A few minutes later a couple of bouncers came up to her and asked if the guy on the floor was Kouga and when she nodded they picked him up and whisked his limp body away. She laughed softly to herself and as she did, Inuyasha returned and sat the bottle of water down in front of her. He sat down beside her and she again rested her head on his shoulder.
“I’m sorry about Kouga.” She smiled.
“It’s okay.” He replied with a slight stutter in his voice. She looked over to the glass of sake that he had and stared at it for a moment.
“Just exactly how much did you have to drink while you were down there?” She asked after taking another drink of her water.
“Not too much.” He replied after finishing off the glass of sake he had in one drink. “You wanna go dance some more?”
“Yeah, sure.” Kagome stated with a slight look of puzzlement on her face. Inuyasha really was drinking a lot from what she could tell. She only hoped that he could hold his sake like Sesshoumaru. They walked back down to the first floor, by that time Kagome was really hoping that he could hold his sake. He had stopped on the second floor and gotten another glass of sake, downed it in one gulp and then took her hand and led her down to the first floor.
Kagome just quirked an eyebrow at him while he led her back out on the dance floor so that they were standing next to Sango and Miroku. When they got there Sango turned to them.
“Hey, we’re gonna go sit down for a bit okay?” Sango questioned Kagome. Kagome nodded her head as Inuyasha put his hands on her hips and pulled her body back up next to his. Sango and Miroku then left for the third floor as Inuyasha and Kagome continued to dance.

An Hour Later
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX xXx
The group, minus Sesshoumaru and Kagura, were back up on the third floor, sitting at the table, taking a short brake. In the past hour Inuyasha had drunk, from what Kagome had seen, four more glasses of sake. As they sat, Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was starting to get a bit woozy.
“Do you think we should take him home?” Miroku questioned as Inuyasha began talking to himself, ignoring their conversation.
“No, you guys stay. I’ll just drive him home in his car. You guys deserve to have your fun.” Kagome stated while moving herself out of the seating area.
“Okay, just be careful.” Sango stated while Miroku nodded in agreement.
“I will.” Kagome replied. She turned to Inuyasha and flicked him in his forehead, bringing him back to their world.
“Hey! What did you do that for?” He asked with a slight slur.
“Come on, Inuyasha, we’re going home.” She stated while helping him get up and out of his chair.
“Fine.” He huffed while she helped him walk down the stairs and outside. Once they were outside of the club, she turned to him.
“Where did you park your car?” She questioned him, her only reply was him pointing in a general direction. Kagome lead him in the direction that he had pointed and after a few minutes of walking, and a few wrong turns, she found his car. “Can I have your keys?”
“No, I’ll drive.” He huffed and then fumbled around in his pockets for his keys.
“Okay, if you insist.” Kagome stated with a grin on her face. When Inuyasha finally fought his keys out of his pocket, Kagome snatched them out of his hands and unlocked the passenger door. She opened the door and pushed him into the seat making sure that he didn’t hit his head on the top of the car. “Put on your seatbelt.” She ordered, which he did after a moment of fumbling around, he had apparently forgotten that he was the one who was ‘supposed’ to drive.
Kagome went around to the other side of the car and got into the driver seat. She put on her seatbelt and started the car and then she proceeded in driving to Satou Mansion.
When they reached the mansion she parked the car, turned it off and then got out and walked to the passenger side of the car. Once she had the door open, she had to help Inuyasha out of the seatbelt and then out of the car. After she had gotten him out of the car, he put his arm around her shoulder and Kagome helped him up the stairs and to the front door of the house.
It was only ten o’clock. Kagome was slightly surprised when as she reached the front door, it swung open. In the doorway stood a well-dressed woman that Kagome didn’t know. The woman looked to be in her mid to late 40's, she had long flowing black hair that was nearly as long as Kagome’s and dark piercing eyes.
“Um.. Hi?” Kagome said with a quirked eyebrow, he cheeks flushing from embarrassment of hauling Inuyasha up to the front door of his house.
“Hi momma Izayoi!” Inuyasha greeted loudly with a slur to his mother who shook her head at her son’s actions.
“Hello, my name is Izayoi, I’m this brutes mother.” The woman smiled politely. “You must be Kagome.” Kagome nodded her head. “Would you like me to take my horrible son off of your hands?”
Kagome began to open her mouth but Inuyasha beat her to it. “No momma Izayoi, I want Kaggycakes to take me to bed.” Inuyasha said a bit louder than his previous sentence. Kagome continued her blush.
“Um... It’s okay, I’ll take him to his room if you’ll point me in the right direction, since he seems to be so demanding.” Kagome replied with a small giggle.
“Follow me.” Izayoi said with a smile of her own. Izayoi led Kagome up the stairs and through the hallway until they reached the fourth door on the left-hand side of the long hallway. Izayoi stopped in front of the door and opened it for Kagome.
“Thank you.” Kagome smiled politely, the weight of Inuyasha’s arm getting heavier by the moment.
“Go away momma Izayoi. I don’t need your help!” Inuyasha huffed at his mom. Izayoi just rolled her eyes as if she had encountered this kind of behavior from him before.
“Kagome, you are more than welcome to stay here for the night if you wish. This room across the hall is a guest room. It should suit you fine.” Izayoi said while a smile while pointing to the mentioned room.
“Thank you again.” Kagome said with a smiled as Izayoi turned and walked back down the stairs. Kagome walked Inuyasha into his room. She stopped for a moment to take in the large size and extravagantness of the room. ‘Of course it’s big and beautiful. He lives in a mansion you dolt.’
Kagome walked over toward the large bed that was covered in deep crimson sheets and a dark black comforter. She unceremoniously dropped him on the bed and he immediately lied down. Kagome walked down to the foot of the bed and pulled his shoes off of his feet and dropped them on the floor. She then walked back up to where his face was and saw that his eyes were closed. She leaned down toward him and poked his forehead, making his eyes pop open immediately.
“Goodnight Inuyasha.” Kagome smiled at him and started to pull her arm away from his face. Before she could, however, Inuyasha grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her down into the bed with him. “What do you think you’re doing?” She questioned him in a seemingly harsh tone.
“I want my Kaggycakes to stay with me!” Inuyasha grinned while grabbing hold of her waist. Kagome rolled her eyes as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her up next to his body. Kagome tried to push him away and get out of the bed, but he won’t let her. “Stay Kaggycakes! I’ve got to protect you from that big bad Kouga!”
Kagome sighed as she realized that despite the fact that Inuyasha was pretty drunk, he was still stronger than her and that she wasn’t going to get to go anywhere. She decided that she had might as well make herself comfortable. She softly used her feet to remove her shoes and almost expertly slid off her belt and dropped it behind her on the floor.
As she did this Inuyasha pulled her closer to him and snuggled into her warm. “Goodnight Kaggycakes.” He smiled as he swiftly fell asleep.
‘I wonder how Izayoi and Inutaisho are going to feel about this in the morning. Well, it’s too late to worry about that now.’She said to herself, knowing that Inuyasha’s parents were most likely not going to like their first impression of her, despite how nice Izayoi had been to her only moments before. Soon after this thought, Kagome too drifted into sleep.

Chapter Quotes: (bunches of ‘em!)
“I’m sorry miss, there is no way that this is your I.D. you are much sexier than the woman in this picture.” He said while ogling Sango’s curves and exposed stomach.----- Move over old man! There is only enough room for one lecher in this story... and Miroku fills that position very well! :D
“Oh, Inuyasha don’t make someone lose their job because of me!” Sango stated with pleading eyes.----- That sounds more like a Kagome kind of line but.. Oh well!
“Quit your pouting. Now... will Inuyasha be the lovely sweetheart that he is and go get me a water?” Kagome questioned while batting her eyelashes.----- That’s it Kagome, use a woman’s trickery on him!
“Well Kouga, if Kagome is your girlfriend, then could you please explain to me why I’ve been dating her for nearly a month and the fact that she is here tonight with me instead of you.” Inuyasha questioned Kouga with a grin of his own.----- You tell him Yasha!
“I’ll be back. I gotta replace that water of yours... and I think I’m gonna need something stronger for me now.” He said with an almost pained smile. ---- And now all hell will break loose....
“No, I’ll drive.” He huffed and then fumbled around in his pockets for his keys.----- Good luck with that....
“No momma Izayoi, I want Kaggycakes to take me to bed.” Inuyasha said a bit louder than his previous sentence. Kagome continued her blush.----- He addresses people funny when he’s drunk... he would normally just call Izayoi ‘Mother’ so... don’t expect him to call her that all the time. Plus could you imagine how much teasing Miroku could create out of ‘Kaggycakes’?
“Stay Kaggycakes! I’ve got to protect you from that big bad Kouga!”----- I so badly wanted to say ‘big bad wolf’ but there are no demon’s in this story so I was like “Gah!” lol
