InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Leave it in the past ❯ Problems ( Chapter 13 )

Kagome pulled on the red see through dress and black slip that she would wear. The dress was made especially for her by a designer that she had favored for many years now but could never afford to wear, so to speak. It was made from the richest, sheerest fabric, complementing her body, skin, face, and setting her hair with a rosy hue that had never before been there. It delved down to her belly button, exposing her skin neatly, with small ribbons lacing the neckline together so that it wouldn't show much more than it already was. It had a golden belt that fastened around her waist and the bottom half of her dress, below her belt, only consisted of ribbons of cut fabric that swayed around her shapely legs elegantly.

 

The firm was throwing some kind of gala dinner for the many clients and every employee had to go. She was determined to go in style.

 

She clasped her stilettos and went to see how the hair dresser had done with her long hair. It was in a up do, but looked like was yet wasn't. it was swept to her back with pins, but not pulled up, making the ringlets dance around her face in shiny disarray. She smiled at her reflection before hurrying so she wouldn't be late.

 

When she arrived, she pushed open the large glass doors and hurried in being greeted by most of the people in the room. She located her three newfound friends, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi. After only a week and a half of working for the firm, the three girls had already started becoming close. There were some things though, that they could never have. They were all so different, so…citified. Sango would always be her number one best friend, who was coming next week to stay with her.

 

She felt eyes on her as she laughed at Yuka's brash behavior and Ayumi chastising in a low sweet voice. The first pair of eyes were wide set in a roughish American face. She ignored them completely. The next pair of eyes were wide and golden, making her heart jump. She smiled faintly at the Hanyou before turning back to her friends.

 

Soon Alexander Carmicheal had come to claim a dance from her. Kagome smiled sweetly at him before taking his arm and letting her lead him onto the dance floor. He pulled her into place in front of him, taking her hand in his and resting his hand on her waist. His deep green eyes were smiling at her and she couldn't help but smile back as he led her into the first steps of the dance.

Inuyasha, still fuming about the events of yesterday, watched intently as Kagome smiled up at the man she was dancing closely with. He felt himself tense as the man slid his hand onto her waist and around to her lower back, pulling her closer. The dress alone had him on edge, making every male in the vicinity's eyes turn to her. The neck line dove down her torso, making him want to see more of her. The skirt of her dress was nothing more than flimsy strips of fabric, dancing around her legs that he couldn't help but to imagine around his waist.

 

He started moving towards the pair as the dance started to draw to a close, hurrying as he noticed one annoyingly persistant American had the same idea.

 

Kevin reached her first, but she all but ignored him, walking towards the crowd. Inuyasha stopped next to her.

 

“Would you like to dance?” he asked in a deceptively charming tone, a storm roiling inside.

 

She smiled rather self-consciously at him before taking his hands and saying thank you to previous dance partner.

 

The music started soon after they were in position and they began dancing, Inuyasha forcefully leading.

 

`Maybe he's not mad anymore,' Kagome thought naively to herself. She looked up at the man's face and hers grew wary as she saw the barely contained fury there.

 

She looked away and saw trouble coming this way as the tall, lean form of Kevin made his way across the floor to where they were.

 

“May I cut in?” he asked Inuyasha politely.

 

Inuyasha gave the smaller man a death glare about to respond, but before he had the chance, Kagome answered for him.

 

“Why thank you, Kevin,” she said calmly, her eyes cold.

 

Inuyasha looked at her with a bewildered expression before stepping back and bowing to Kagome.

 

Knowing she was being a coward, she took Kevin's hand and her skin crawled as he set his hand on her waist. “I knew you'd want to dance with me,” he said with a triumphant grin.

 

She looked at him with blank eyes. “Actually, I have no intention to dance with you from here on out. I'd like to ask you to leave me alone,” she said belligerently.

 

He glared at her, digging his fingers into her side, making it look like it had just been a caress. His fingers would, later on, leave deep purple bruises. Kagome grimaced in pain before regaining her composure and ignoring the continuous throbbing that he was still inflicting.

 

“I will do whatever I want with you,” Kevin said crudely.

 

“No, Kevin, you won't,” Kagome said mockingly.

 

He clenched his teeth, grinding them together. Kagome gratefully pulled away from him when the music was over, hurrying away from him before he could do anything unpredictable. The stabbing pain inflicted on her side was still blazing, making her face contort. She turned away from everyone so they couldn't see it.

 

As soon as she was immersed in the crowd, Inuyasha was at her side, pulling her toward the back and out a door.

 

“You are going to talk to me,” he said angrily.

 

He bumped against her side, making her gasp.

 

“What is it?” he asked, looking at her anxiously, all the anger replaced by concern.

 

“Nothing she said,” trying to sound normal.

 

He looked at her shrewdly before the prior anger came back into his eyes full force. “I want an explanation,” he said with choked ferocity.

 

She looked at him and didn't think that she could tell him. She couldn't just tell him that she was incapable of intimacy. That would embarrass her to no end. “I have to explain to you why I want to keep my chastity?” Kagome asked rhetorically.

 

Kagome scoffed and turned, hurrying through the doors to her car, getting in and hurriedly buckling her seat belt and starting the engine.

 

There was a knock on her window. She looked over and there he was again. “What?” she asked with fake annoyance.

 

“I'm sorry,” he said, looking like he meant it.

 

“It's alright,” Kagome said, looking down at her lap.

 

“Can I see you tomorrow?” he asked abruptly.

 

She looked up at him and couldn't push back to want that welled up in her at his expression.

 

“When?” she asked him breathlessly.

 

“We could go somewhere tomorrow after work?” he said, posing it as question.

 

She smiled. “O.k.”

 

He gave her an exultant grin and bent down to kiss her, stopping she before her face. “Goodbye,” he said, turning to leave. Kagome felt cheated and pouted at him when he turned back to look at her. She heard him laugh as she began to back out, looking back to see a smirk on his face. `Jerk.'

 

<<<<<

 

It was almost completely through the work day and Kagome was revving to get it over with. She'd seen three clients and poured over case files for so long that she felt like she could recite each one word for word.

 

Kagome jerked slightly as she was sipping her coffee, thinking about Inuyasha, spilling it all over her white blouse.

 

“Fuck!” she whisper/screamed.

 

She looked around for anything that could help her but there was nothing. Now she had to go home and change.

 

She picked up the phone and dialed Inuyasha's number.

 

“Taisho,” he said in greeting.

 

“Inuyasha? It's Kagome. I have to go home after work for something. How about you meet me there?”

 

He agreed and she gave him her address.

 

And hour later, she hurried out of her office and into her car. When she got home, anxious and not wanting to prolong her date any further, she started rummaging through her drawers. She pulled out a short black pencil neck skirt and a simple white camisole. She put on the only jacket she had that wasn't suited for winter out, a black leather jacket that only came to the bottom of her bust line.

 

There was a knock at her door and she opened it with a ready smile for Inuyasha but almost choked when Kevin stepped up and took her hand. She pulled back out of the door way and Kevin followed her. “Surprise,” he said.

 

“Get out,” Kagome said frankly.

 

“Come on Kagome,” he said.

 

“I'm expecting somebody. I need you to leave,” she said.

 

“Who?” he asked suspiciously.

 

“It's none of your business,” she said harshly.

 

“Eri said you weren't dating anyone,” he said coldly.

 

“Well I am now so leave,” she said.

 

He laughed mirthlessly. “I don't think so,” he said.

 

Kagome was bristling with frustration and tension.

 

“You sure do bounce back fast,” he said.

 

“Huh? Are you retarded?” she asked incredulously. “We broke up two years ago and I haven't dated anyone since.”

 

“That's because you missed me,” he said.

 

“No, it's because I was in therapy and recovering from broken bones,” she said snidely.

 

His face reddened and he took a step forward. Something caught her eyes at the door and she looked over to see Inuyasha's big frame blocking the doorway that had been left open.

 

“Inuyasha,” Kagome said moving toward him.

 

“Kagome,” Inuyasha said, eyeing Kevin while he handed her flowers. He very deliberately bent to kiss her and Kagome stretched up on her tippy toes to meet him half way.

 

When they pulled away, Inuyasha turned her towards her kitchen, saying, “Go put them in some water,” and patting her butt familiarly.

 

She looked back and saw Kevin's face redden even darker from his shirt collar to his hairline. Kagome felt satisfaction that he couldn't hurt her.

 

“So what're you doing here?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“I'm Kagome's ex-boyfriend. I don't know if you remember me I'm…” Kevin said, getting cut off.

 

“I know who you are. That wasn't my question,” Inuyasha said menacingly.

 

“Umm… Maybe you should go now Kevin,” Kagome said.

 

He just stood there like an idiot.

 

“You heard her,” Inuyasha said.

 

He followed Kevin to the door. There was some hushed conversation before the door shut and Inuyasha came into the kitchen.

 

“What'd you say to him?” Kagome asked.

 

“That if I catch him around here again I'd stomp his ass,” he said smugly.

 

“You didn't!!!” Kagome said incredulously.

 

“I did,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Who said you could? I definitely didn't give you permission,” Kagome ranted.

 

“I wouldn't be a man if I didn't protect what was mine,” he said indignantly, a smirk on his face.

 

“I'm not yours,” Kagome said defiantly.

 

“That's what we're going to have to fix,” he said, coming towards her with a predatory grin.

 

“Oh really?” Kagome asked defiantly before being swept into his arms and set on her small island. He pushed her hair out of her face and kissed her, pulling her thighs apart and standing between them, pulling her closer.

 

Kagome didn't protest, just basked in his sinful kisses. He pulled her jacket off, throwing it down, and pulling the small strap to her camisole down until she pulled her arms out of them. He didn't pull her shirt down to reveal anything, just kissed her. Finally, he grabbed the hem and started slowly dragging it up and over her, revealing more and more of her flat stomach. She lifted her arms above her head and he slipped it over her head, completely revealing her breasts to his feasting eyes because she hadn't bothered to put on a bra.

 

He moved closer and pressed up against her closely. She felt his erection and the same thing happened, this time more intense. She had a flash back of that night with Kevin. He'd tried to make her, but when she'd felt his erection, she could do it, just went into hysterics.

 

“No!” she screamed, pushing and clawing at an imaginary ghost.

 

“I don't want it!” Kagome yelled before she black out.

 

She woke up with Inuyasha calling her name and shaking her shoulder. He had scratches on his chest, which was now completely displayed since she was covered in his shirt and laying on her couch.

 

“What kind of problem are we dealing with here, Kagome?” he asked her seriously.
