InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love and War ❯ Graduation and Reunions ( Chapter 12 )
Part twelve: Graduation and Reunions
She had finished her finals and was now graduating. She was so excited to be leaving school. She had plans for the future and they all included her husband. That night she was going to receive her diploma, give her speech and see her family for the first time in weeks. She looked in the mirror after she was dressed and smiled widely. This was finally it. She stepped out of the room and went to find Inuyasha. He'd be taking her to the graduation tonight.
"Yeah. No. That is not what I wanted!" Inuyasha yelled into the phone as Kagome stepped into his office. She waited by the door for him to get off the phone. It looked like at the moment he didn't even know she was there. "Come on Kikyo how could you get yourself in so much trouble?"
So he was talking to Kikyo. Kagome wondered what she did to make Inuyasha so angry. "Dammit Kikyo! You're always doing shit like that! How am I going to tell Kagome I won't make it to her graduation? Fine. keep your ass out of trouble and I'll be there as soon as I could." Inuyasha slammed down the phone. Grrr. That woman made him so mad at times. Now he'd have to disappoint Kagome. When he turned around Kagome was standing in his doorway with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"Kagome," he said softly but she shook her head. She knew better than to expect he would give up anything for her. She had hoped that Kikyo was out of the picture for good but it looked as if she was back and already she had Inuyasha rushing to her side.
"Go Inuyasha. I'll get a ride to the ceremony."
"I'm sorry," he told her as he walked over to her. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "I'm sorry that I have to go but she's in trouble and it's partly my fault. I have to get her out of there before she is killed. I'll make it up to you Kagome."
She watched silently as he left the room and felt the tears swell in her eyes. she didn't know how long she stood there but she heard a knock on the door and looked up to see Miroku.
"Kagome. Inuyasha asked me to take you to your ceremony. The other's are ready to go if you are." he saw the tears in her eyes and went over to her. She and Miroku were never really close so it came as a surprise when the boy pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "He didn't mean to disappoint you. it's just that he is committed to defeating Naraku and now Kikyo's life is in danger because of him. he'll make it up to you."
"I know," she said as she wiped her tears and smiled up at Miroku. "Thanks. I'm ready to go now."
"And remember you only live life once so live life." Kagome smiled as the entire room clapped for her. She stepped off the stage and headed back to her seat. She and Lixue hugged. She was so nervous about saying her speech but it went by without a hitch.
"Well Kagome. I see your boyfriend isn't here," said a mocking voice from behind them. Kagome didn't have to turn to know that it was Leiko talking to her.
"What does that have to do with you?" Lixue asked with anger.
"Well I just wanted to show her that she was nothing but a slut to him. he used her and now he wasn't even here for her. At least my boyfriend is here."
"So you did manage to fool some idiot into liking you?" Lixue teased. "Who is he?"
"Hojo. He's not mine yet but after tonight he will be."
"I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree. Hojo actually likes Lix," Kagome said with a grin. She finally could shut Leiko up.
"What!" both girls said at the same time.
"Yeah. We had a talk a few weeks ago and he told me he had a thing for Lix. I think you should go for it."
"But what about your relationship?"
"Lix you know that I'm with Inuyasha. Besides I've never really liked Hojo as more than a friend."
"So I can date him?"
"Yeah."
"Thank you."
"Oh please. If you think Hojo's gonna choose you over me you have another thing coming," Leiko said behind them. Before they could answer the announcer had begin to call names for the students to receive their diplomas. As students went up to get their diplomas everyone clapped. Though they were going in alphabetical order Kagome's name was called last because she was the valedictorian.
"And our valedictorian for the year 2003, Kagome Higurashi!"
The room was filled with applause and cheering. Kagome smiled as she stood to receive her diploma. She was happy but also a little disappointed that her mate wasn't there. She walked on the stage and received her diploma and other awards. She turned to the audience and sought Sango and the others. They were holding up their thumbs and grinning at her. She smiled back at them and waived. She also looked for her mother. She smiled at the woman and her other family around. Her eyes widened as she realized there was another person sitting with her family. Inuyasha.
Kagome walked off the stage and went back to her seat. Other announcements were made then the graduating class was presented. They threw their hats in the air and cheered for themselves. Kagome hugged all of her friends then turned to hug another one and gasped when Inuyasha stood behind her. She threw herself in his arms and hugged him tightly. She felt as he wrapped his arms around her and snuggled closer.
"I thought you weren't coming," she said softly.
"I'd never miss this," he whispered in her ear causing her to shiver. "Come on let's go to the others. They want to congratulate you as well." Inuyasha took her over to her family that included Sango and the others. Kagome hugged her mother and grandfather first. Then her little brother. She then turned to the others and hugged them all. She was so happy and excited.
"Congratulations Kagome," Miroku said as he hugged her. "I told you he'd make it up to you."
"Miroku?" asked Kagome's mother.
"Mom you know him?" Kagome asked as she looked at her mother.
"Know him. I used to take care of him when he was younger. He's my cousin Anya's child. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm sorry about your family's death."
"Thank you," Miroku said solemnly.
"Well if he's your cousin that means Miroku's Kagome's cousin as well," Rin said.
"My cousin?" Kagome said as she looked up at Miroku.
"Hi little cousin," the boy said with a grin.
"Wow you're related. I think we need to celebrate tonight," Sango said as she looked at Inuyasha. They all did waiting for his permission.
He looked at them knowing they waited for his answer. Sometimes he really liked being in charge. "Sure," he said and the others cheered again.
"Well you guys have fun," Ayame said.
"You're not coming?" Kagome asked her mother. she wanted to spend some time with them.
"Sorry Kagome. It's late and I have to work tomorrow. You don't have any school remember? Besides I have a feeling I'm too old for the kind of fun you'll be having and Sota's too young."
Kagome glanced at her little brother and saw his frown. She went over to him and bent down. "Hey kid I'm sorry you can't come but I'll make it up to you okay?"
"Okay. Kagome is he your boyfriend?" Sota asked as he looked up at Inuyasha in awe.
"Uh yeah," she said with a blush.
"He's so cool."
"Yeah I know," Kagome said with a smile.
"Well are you guys ready to go?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah," the others said.
"It was nice seeing you again Mrs. Higurashi," Inuyasha said. "And don't worry I'm taking good care of your daughter. Let's go guys."
Kagome waived to her family and left the building. She saw that a number of students had gathered outside and were watching them as they were leaving. As they walked towards the cars in the parking lot, Kagome saw Inuyasha head over to a car she'd never seen before. It was a black jaguar convertible with a silver dog painted on the hood. It was absolutely beautiful. She saw him open the driver's door for her and told her to get in. She did as he said and watched as he got into the passenger side.
"Do you like it?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Yeah. It's gorgeous."
"It's yours."
"Nani?" Kagome asked with wide eyes.
"It's just a little gift for your graduation."
"Oh thank you," Kagome said as she reached over and hugged Inuyasha. She then turned back to the wheel and started the car. When it came on she giggled. She backed it out of the parking spot and drove over to the others. Sango and Miroku were in one car and Rin and Sesshomaru were in another.
"Where are we headed?" Miroku asked.
"Club Rush," Inuyasha said.
"Okay. See you guys there," Miroku said then pulled off. Sesshomaru followed them and then Kagome. She looked over at Inuyasha and saw he was smirking.
"What?"
"My grandmother drives faster than you do." Kagome growled then pressed down on the gas and was zooming down the streets.
The couples reached to the club that already looked crowded. There was a long line outside with people trying their hardest to get inside. They all got out of their cars and headed towards the club. Inuyasha leaned against the side of the car as he watched Kagome remove her robe. She took off the cap and threw it in the car then she removed the robe. He almost swallowed his tongue as he looked at her. He had no idea this is what she was wearing under the robe.
Kagome wore a peasant top that ended just below her full breasts. Her flat stomach was bare to his eyes and his touch. She wore a pair of black leather pants that showed off her round rump that he found to be so delicious looking. He looked up at her and saw the gleam in her eyes.
"I had a feeling the guys and I were going out tonight. I didn't know you were coming."
"So just who did you dress like this for?" Inuyasha asked with a raised brow. Deciding he didn't want to hear the answer he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her towards the club. "Come on." they got to the door and walked past everyone and got inside. Apparently, Inuyasha knew the bouncer and he let them right inside.
The place was just like the club Kagome had met Inuyasha in that night except for a few minor adjustments. It had an area made out of glass and there were woman dancing naked in it with bubbles and water all around them. In another corner was a ring where two muscled men fought and were being cheered on by the onlookers. Kagome couldn't believe this place was that wild.
"Hey let's dance," Inuyasha said in her ear and pulled her on the dance floor. She grinned at him excitedly. They'd never done this except for that one time. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer as they moved along with the beats of the song. Kagome couldn't believe what a great dancer Inuyasha was. He knew just what to move and how to move it.
A reggae song came on then and Kagome began to take over. She loved this kind of music and the feeling it gave her. She surprised Inuyasha when she began to grind her body into his. She raised a leg and wrapped it around him as she continue to move to the song. Inuyasha growled at her playfully and she giggled. She was in charge now but not for long. Inuyasha soon became fed up with her teasing then spun her around in his arms. He held her around the waist as he ground his middle into her as they moved with the beats of the song. He couldn't help it and allowed his hands to roam over her body as they danced. Unknowing to them, they had captured an audience and someone came to put a halt to it before they went to far.
"Inuyasha. Kagome. People are watching you."
Miroku's voice got through to Kagome and she looked up and saw what he was talking about. They had indeed drawn a crowd. Kagome turned in Inuyasha's arms and whispered that maybe they should stop. He nodded to her and allowed her to lead him away from the dance floor.
"Well that was hot," Rin said as they joined the others. Kagome blushed but Inuyasha only smirked. The waiter came then and everyone ordered their drinks. When Kagome was about to order something Inuyasha interrupted and ordered something for her. She noticed it was non-alcoholic and glared at him.
"Why can you drink and I can't?" she asked.
"Because I don't want you to," he told her. It only infuriated her more but she wasn't going to let him ruin her night. She only smirked at him then turned away. She looked around the club. Wow this place was so wild. She glanced over to the stripping area and blushed.
"Do you wanna try that?" someone whispered in her ear. She turned to see Inuyasha's leering face and blushed,
"No. I don't think I'd be comfortable doing that in front of a bunch of strangers."
"Then why don't you do it just for me?" he asked causing her to blush even harder.
"What's wrong with Kagome?" Miroku asked with a grin. "Her face is all red." leave it to him to always cause trouble.
"Nothing's wrong with me. I'm fine." Inuyasha only grinned as an answer. He looked around the club and smirked. He caught eyes with Miroku and nodded towards the fighting ring. The boy smirked and motioned to Sesshomaru.
"Girls we'll be right back," Miroku said as he and Sesshomaru stood and disappeared. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and gave her a quick kiss then left. She watched him go feeling that he was up to something.
The girls were left to themselves and they really didn't mind until they heard a bunch of yelling and screaming. Kagome glanced towards the fighting ring and saw a flash of white.
"I think the guys are going to fight," Rin said as she looked in the same direction.
"No. Not the guys. Just Inuyasha," Kagome said. She had no idea why she wasn't worried or mad at him. she just felt resigned to the fact.
"Wanna watch?" Sango asked with a grin. The three girls got up from the table and headed over to the ring. They reached just in time to see Inuyasha removed his jacket and shirt. He smirked at the over muscled man and flexed his own. He glanced over at the audience and caught sight of Kagome. She was leaning against a wall watching him. he motioned her over to him and obediently she went. Miroku helped her up to the stage and she held onto the bar as she looked at him.
"You don't mind do you?" he asked. he had no idea why he was asking. Usually he did what he wanted to when he wanted to and had to answer to no one.
"Not at all," she said with a smile. Then she glanced over at the next man. "But if you die I get to keep my car right?"
Inuyasha laughed at that. "We'll see." just when he was about to turn away she grabbed hold of his hair. "Hey!"
"See how easy that was? You're going to fight with your hair loose. He'll be able to grab it and use it against you." she pulled him back towards her and set to fix his hair. She coiled the long tendrils into a bun and taking the pins from her hair she used them to hold the bun in place. When she was done his hair was held in place with a few loose tendrils hanging down his face.
"Now I'm gonna look like a girl," Inuyasha said with a scowl.
"Yeah but a very pretty girl," Kagome said as she kissed his nose. "No don't kill the man."
Inuyasha grinned then moved away from the side of the ring. He nodded towards the referee and the man announced the fight. Soon the bell rang and it began. Kagome watched as Inuyasha and the man approached each other in the center of the ring. Right off the bat the man tried to punch Inuyasha in the face but he dodged it and came back with a punch of his own. The man faltered a little bit but was ready to attack again. Kagome watched in interest as the man tried his hardest to take Inuyasha down, but her mate just wouldn't be bested. When she saw Inuyasha crouch low and swiped the man legs from under him with his extended leg she cheered. The others were also cheering for him and egging him on. (Not that he really needed it.)
The fight was almost over when Kagome saw the man pick up a metal pipe and swing it at Inuyasha's head. She screamed when she thought it connected but it missed him by a mere inch. It was a good thing he had fast reflexes. Kagome turned to Miroku who was just as engrossed in the fight as she was. "Hey that isn't fair. He can't do that...can he?"
"I'm afraid so. There are no rules to this fight."
Kagome watched in horror as the man slammed the lead pipe into Inuyasha stomach. She screamed for him and wanted to go to him but she knew she couldn't. She watched as a hand went to his stomach but he tried to hide the fact that it hurt. Stupid hanyou. He stood up and ducked as the man swung at him again. The man began to swing wildly now and he moved out of the way of each swing. Getting tired of playing this game he spin kicked the man to the side of his head and watched him go down. Inuyasha was walking away from the fight when the man suddenly stood up and was about to charge him with a blade. Kagome didn't know how her mate knew he was in danger but he spun around and kicked the man square in the chest sending him flying. The fight was over. Everyone started cheering and screaming. Kagome grinned at him but before she could say anything others wanted to congratulate him. she saw the way the women draped themselves over him and frowned. She turned away and headed for the bar. She needed something to drink. Not looking where she was going, she collided into a hard male body.
"Well lookie here," the man slurred. He grabbed Kagome and spun her around to show his friends. "Look what I've found."
The men all grinned and hollered as the big man held Kagome. she struggled in his grasp but he only held him tighter. "Looks like we have an Angel of our own tonight. Who's bitch is this?" he asked grinning.
"She's my bitch," said a new voice. the man glanced over and blinked. Uh oh. He wasn't so drunk as to not know he could get into a lot of trouble if he didn't let the girl go just then. He saw the tattoo on the man's arm and knew he was not someone to play with.
"Sorry bout that," the drunk man said as he let Kagome go and stepped back. his friends had even gone quiet afraid of what would happen.
Inuyasha walked towards them and grabbed Kagome in his arms. He then looked over to the man and raised a brow. The man visibly swallowed. He began to stammer an apology and Inuyasha smirked. "I didn't know she was your woman," the man said but had a feeling that changed nothing. Inuyasha didn't speak he just pushed Kagome out of the club and towards her car. She tried to turn to see what was going on but he only blocked her view.
"Let's go."
Her hands practically slid from his sweat drenched body as she tried to hold on. She gasped as he rocked into her reaching new depths. She moaned and writhed under him as he continued to thrust into her rocking the bed. Grunts and groans could be heard from the hallway but the occupants of the room didn't care.
He rolled over allowing her to straddle him and using his hands at her waist, he guided her as she moved above him. he could see the wonder and awe of this new position on her face as her eyes widened and she grinned down at him. he smiled up at her and leaned up to nibble on her protruding nipples. She moaned loudly and threw her head back as his pounding into her was finally taking it's toll and she climaxed and screamed out his name. Soon after he released as well and a shout could be heard throughout the house. The other residents only grinned knowingly.
Inuyasha rolled Kagome to his side and cuddled up to her still joined. He held her gently and brushed her hair away from her face. She smiled up at him with her eyes closed and he couldn't help but kiss her. "How'd you like that?" he asked with a smug grin when she opened her eyes a fraction of an inch.
"If you keep this up you'll get me pregnant." it wasn't until she said it that she realized it was a possibility. Her mind started working fast as she thought about the last time she had her period. It had been almost two months since she and Inuyasha had started having sex and she hadn't had her period at all this month. She began to panic. She was never late. Never! Oh god what if she was pregnant! She couldn't be! She was only eighteen! Kagome looked up and into the eyes of her lover. He seemed to have a worried look on his face as he looked down at her and she smiled.
She could see a child with Inuyasha. He would have her dark hair but Inuyasha's amber eyes. as he held her, she lost all fears of being a mother at such a young age because she knew Inuyasha would take care of her. She did however have to look into that tomorrow. When Inuyasha was away she'd take a trip to the doctors.
