“She wanted something else… something different. Something more ...
Passion . & . Romance perhaps, or maybe quiet conversations
in candle lit rooms, or perhaps ... something as simple as not being second best...”

Kagome could tell that someone was watching her, and it was getting mildly irritating. She knew that when she and the girls danced the way they were, they were the center of attention until they were done. `It's just that this set of eyes feel familiar, but how could that be,' Kagome pondered looking around the club, and what she found took her breath away.
Takahashi was coming her way with Sakamoto a little in front of him, but Miroku was in none of her thoughts. All thoughts were about a certain brown haired amber eyed man walking this way,`He looks so… hot'.
His hair tied at the nape of his neck, swayed softly with his body. His eyes, held this foreign look that she wasn't used to in them. A lustful look. Almost as if they were glowing in the darkened club dance floor.
This man who was walking towards her, at the moment, had to be one of the sexiest men she had ever laid eyes upon. He held this air of confidence that hardly any man on earth possessed any more, and when they locked eyes her heart had to of skipped a beat. Time seemed to slow, as she watched his graceful approach.
His stalking approach.
The hat on his head lowered a bit, probably from trying to hold back his big grin, but Kagome could care less at the moment.
His black jacket and white tee moved as one with his body. His white tee showed off his perfectly sculpted chest and to top the style off, he wore a white and blue stripped collared shirt that was unbuttoned, so a person looking at him could see his white tee perfectly.
Kagome vaguely noticed her dance partners stop dancing with her, indicating that the song was over but she was still in lala land. Ayame tapped her on the shoulder, forcing her brain from the Takahashi perfect terra firma back to earth. Kagome had to shake her head a few times, to get whatever stupid thoughts that were in her head a few seconds prior out, and she had to blush when she realized that she was oogling the same man for an extended period of time, which was great… cause right when she started blushing, Takahashi reached her side.
“Having a good time,” he asked, once he was in speaking distance to the girl.
“Yeah, I guess so,” Kagome said, still mildly embarrassed.
“You look great tonight Higurashi,” InuYasha said, leaning a little closer to her, so that they would be a part of their own conversation…the others somewhere else.
Kagome instantly felt her cheeks light up, “Well thank you Takahashi, you don't look too bad yourself.” She finished looking down at her shoes, which regrettably, was the safest area to look at this moment, `Why won't my cheeks cool down already?'
InuYasha let out a little chuckle, “You know Higurashi, if you blush anymore… I think that you will be permanently tomato colored.”
Kagome instantly lifted her head to lock eyes with the man, feeling the blush spread to her cheeks more, she turned to face the bar area, her eyes started to grow wide as she began to worry about the never ending blush. Quietly, almost with naivety, she responded, “You know, it only makes it worse when you say something about it.”
Chuckling a little at her behavior, “Yeah, I know.”
Looking over at him at his unbiased response, Kagome was a little taken aback by how joyous he seemed, just to know that she was struggling over herself with such a small issue. Feeling a little more confident, she closed her eyes, placing her hands across her small frame, and turned her head away with a smile gracing her visage, “You know, you could be a little nicer about it.”
Looking over at her intently, he let a little grin grace his face as he leaned his head back, letting out an airy laugh, “But where is the fun in that?”
Feeling a little more composed about her whole, `tomato colored cheeks,' she turned to face him, smiling broadly at the man in front of her, “I guess you are right Takahashi.”
A little surprised at her easygoing behavior, InuYasha, without really thinking stated, “You are so much different tonight.”
Looking at him with confusion, she lifted an eyebrow at his quiet retort, “What was that, I didn't quite catch that...?”
His eyes went wide with disbelief that he stated his thoughts out loud, he swallowed, and let out a big sigh, a small grin once more on his face, “Oh nothing, I was just mumbling to myself.” He had to pat himself on the back, as he thought up the last minute retort.
“Oh,” Kagome replied after a moment. He looked over to her, and saw that she was struggling with what to say. He was about to open his mouth, when someone ran right into her, knocking her over.
He saw her begin to descend to the ground, face first which allowed her body to fall over his, so that she wouldn't land on the hard cement ground, `which feels great, might I add,' he grumbled to himself.
After a few moments, Kagome opened her eyes and was met with liquid topaz, feeling the blush creep on her cheeks once more.
InuYasha was having a hard time trying not to blush himself once he realized their position. Shaking his head to get the self-conscious feeling to leave, he started to become confused as to why he might have been humiliated in the first place. `I never get uncomfortable around women,' he grumbled to himself. `That has only happened once and that was with…' his eyes widened at the realization, and he now officially became embarrassed.
He slowly gazed into her eyes and was taken aback by the beauty within her orbs. Her blue eyes swiveled with her emotions, telling all her secrets. The intensity of her gaze on him, made him want to submit to all her wills. All her whims. And he wouldn't put up a fight; he would follow them without fail.
Shaking his head once more to get the scenes that he just declared to himself out of his head, he made to get up when Kagome suddenly started to push back down on him, apparently trying to get her grounding.
InuYasha, not liking the position at the moment, started to get restless, he flipped them quickly over, so that she was lying gently beneath him. Feeling a bit more at ease, with himself as the one in control, he finally felt the blush starting to leave his visage.
Kagome looked up when she felt it was safe to open her eyes, and the blush on her cheeks increased tenfold as she saw the amber eyed man looking intently down at her.
“You all right?” She heard him ask thoughtfully.
Managing a little nod of her head, she conveyed to him that she was indeed all right, although, she was still extremely discomfited.
She made to get up, not really wanting to see his gaze for at least fifteen minutes, and was surprised when she felt a little push from him, making her land softly to the position she was just in… on her back.
He leaned down from how his arms were extended, and allowed his arms to lay flat from his hands to his elbows. “Not until you pay the toll,” InuYasha said leaning in closer, feeling his own heartbeat quicken as the words left his mouth. Looking mischievously down at her, loving the way her heartbeat increased with his as the words sunk in.
Any negation on Kagomes' tongue was lost, her breath hitched in her throat as she felt the man on top of her leaning even closer than he was. `What is wrong with me,' Kagome wondered as she spoke, “and what would that be,” she asked in a shaking whisper.
“A kiss,” InuYasha said closing in on her body as he felt her body give itself to him. He heard her heartbeat speed up as he leaned in closer still… so now he was touching her nose to his.
“A kiss?” Kagome said while her eyes started fluttering closed. Her body wanting nothing more than to allow that very thing to happen.
“Yeah,” InuYasha answered, as he tried desperately to hold himself back from ravaging her body right there in the middle of the club. He leaned a little further down, so that his mouth was directly over hers as he started to close his eyes. Feeling his own body give into her beck and calls.
“I think that would—”
“Are you guys going to do it or not,” Miroku interrupted, tired of the wait.
Kagome immediately came back to her senses and pushed InuYasha off of her, and her friends came over to help her up. `What the crap is wrong with me…was I really going to kiss him,' Kagome wondered to herself as she finally was able to stand on two feet.
InuYasha just laid on the ground, pissed beyond reason that he was so close… yet it was taken away from him at the last moment by his friend no less. Speaking of, where was he… he needed a good beating. “Miroku,” InuYasha warned as he began to stand up.
Miroku knowing what was going to happen started to slowly back up, “Now InuYasha, I didn't mean to interrupt the moment between you and Higurashi… it just sort of fell out,” Miroku added to his friend, hoping that he would be gracious and not kick his butt.
“Sort of fell out,” InuYasha repeated after his friend, “well forgive my fist if it sort of hits your face,” InuYasha said now starting to head towards the other man.
Miroku seeing the terror in head of him turned around and began to run the opposite way, “InuYasha please be sensible,” Miroku pleaded.
When Sango noticed InuYasha chase Miroku to some unknown place in the club she thought it was as good a time as ever to breach the subject with her friend, “Ummm Kagome, what happened back there?”
Rin and Ayame immediately went to attention at the question hanging in the air.
Kagome immediately blushed at the reminder of his firm body and breath on her skin, for some reason it just felt right. All of it felt right, as if they were… made for each other, but she wouldn't ever admit it. “Ummm I don't know,” she half told the truth. She looked down so her friends wouldn't be able to tell that she was lying.
“Well it looked pretty intense from where we were standing,” Ayame stated pointing out the obvious.
“What looked intense,” Koga stated looking around at everyone. He pulled Ayame to his chest from behind her, rubbing his nose through her hair. Loving the scent she gave off, he sighed as he rested his head on top of hers.
“Oh nothing,” Kagome said glad for the interruption, “So how has school been going?” She placed a nice smile on face, loving the fact that he had perfect timing.
Koga straightened his position to stand next to Ayame as he turned to face Kagome and answer her question. “Well it's school,” he stated laughing a little, “but it's almost summer vacation, so I am happy I will at least get a little break. Your brain can get tired going on over drive for eight months straight.”
“Yeah, I know what you mean,” Kagome laughed, “but at least you've known what you wanted to do since high school.”
“That's true,” Koga smiled, “So what have you been up to Higurashi, I haven't talked to you in awhile.”
Smiling a little, `Koga was always so concerned about me,' she thought as she got a far off look in her eyes and started to scratch the back of her neck, “Well you know I have Aishiteru, the girls, and school,” Kagome said a little self conscious.
“What are you doing now in school,” Koga asked, for as long as he had known her, Kagome loved to change what she was studying.
“Well right now I am just doing general… you know still can't make up my mind,” Kagome laughed feeling awkward that Koga and her, have been the only ones talking for the past minute.
“Ain't that the truth,” Rin laughed joining the conversation.
“Shut up,” Kagome said giving her friend the `be quiet I am kidding look.'
“So what time is it honey,” Ayame asked Koga, laughing a little at her friend's behavior.
“Oh,” Koga responded, his eyes going wide for a second. “Well I left my place around eleven so,” he looked at his watch, “it's 11:15.” Looking back up, he started laughing a little, “It took me awhile to find you guys.”
“Yeah, we were a little pre-occupied by something for a while,” Sango added, drawing attention back to Kagome.
The other girls in turn glanced back in her direction.
“Really? It must've been really good if I couldn't find you all,” Koga added, now a little concerned with how everyone was looking at Kagome.
Speaking of… “Ayame could I ask you something?” Kagome thought of the perfect idea.
“Umm sure,” Ayame added a little confused but following Kagome a little away from the others.
When Kagome thought that they had put enough distance between them and the others she turned to face her friend. “Ayame do you mind if Yoshida acts like we are dating… I need to get InuYasha off of my back,” Kagome asked looking around for said man.
“I don't know Kagome. I really don't think Koga will go for it,” Ayame added trying to get her friend to see how stupid a request that would be. She never told her friend's about demons, and she would like to keep it that way.
“Yoshida won't mind. I am concerned about you,” Kagome said looking straight in her eyes, “I don't want to hurt your feelings. I will just be messing around trying to get InuYasha to get the picture that I am interested in someone else, and he is interested in me,” Kagome added smiling a little hoping to win her friend over.
“Kags' it isn't going to work,” Ayame replied sighing loudly. “You know, as well as I do that InuYasha will see straight through it,” she added hoping her friend would just give up.
“Please Ayame… if you want me to stop I will… just give me the word…if you feel uncomfortable in any way,” Kagome asked pleading with her friend.
Frustrated that her friend wasn't listening, `I guess she will just have to learn the hard way,' she thought mildly. “Okay… I know you all don't have feelings for each other, and it's not like I haven't seen Koga all protective over you before, but I know it's more as a sister than anything else,” Ayame added smiling just a bit, allowing her friend to believe that she won her over.
“Thank you, Ayame,” Kagome said hugging her friend, “I owe you big time.”
“Yeah you do,” Ayame said, looking all serious all of a sudden, but she had happiness in her eyes, “Okay, let's tell Koga.”
“Yeah and I will explain it to the other girls,” Kagome said, walking in the direction they left their friends in.
Ayame followed closely behind her, `Kagome, you have no idea what you are going up against on this one.'

By the time InuYasha came back to where he left Kagome and the other girls he was surprised to see another man in the midst of them.
He saw Kagome look over at him and then immediately she looked at the other man and threw her arms around his neck, “Oh Koga, we should go out later this week.”
Koga rested his arms around Kagome's waist and looked down into the girls' blue eyes, “Well I think that would be great. What time should I pick you up, babe?”
By that time, Miroku showed up and to say that he was confused would be a lack of a better word. He looked over to Sango to answer his unasked question, and she quickly shook her head in the negative and smiled. He knew something was up. He just had to wait and see what it was.
InuYasha walked up to where Kagome was holding the other man, and Kagome looked to him and smiled as if forgetting he was ever there. “Oh hi Takahashi, look at me not introducing everyone. Takahashi InuYasha this is Yoshida Koga,” she said while looking at the slightly taller man.
“Hey man,” Koga said extending his arm to the brown haired man. However, when he turned and caught a whiff of him, Koga had to growl softly at the other man.
Getting a whiff of the other man, InuYasha let out an inaudible growl himself, reluctantly reaching for his hand and gave it a good shake, “Hey.”
Koga let his arm go and looked over to Miroku, while still keeping his eyes on InuYasha, “Hey Miroku, how have you been doing?”
Miroku came out of his stupor… and noticed that Koga was talking to him, “Oh hey Koga. I am fine, just been glancing over at my lovely Kimura,” Miroku said, tilting his head in said girls direction where a very distinct intake of breath could be heard.
Sango, who was taken back by his statement, turned to Miroku, “You are such a pervert Sakamoto, come over here so I can beat some sense into you.”
“My, my Kimura if I knew you liked it rough I would have tried that outlet long—”
A very distinguished slap could be heard, and some couples close to them, turned to see what the noise might have come from and to whom, and what they found was a very irate young woman.
“Sakamoto I can not believe you. You are such a lecher!” Sango yelled out the last part and stormed off.
“Kimura wait,” Miroku pleaded but when he saw that there was no hope for her being able to hear, he gave up with his head falling forward, “I am so misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood,” InuYasha laughed, “give me a break Miroku. You had that coming.”
He looked to his right when he felt a presence stand closer to him, “What the hell are you doing going after Kagome,” Koga asked quietly through clenched teeth.
“Why the hell do you care,” InuYasha shot back, just as silently. “It's not like she is your woman,” he added making sure to stress the fact that Kagome… wasn't the wolf's property.
A staring match was beginning to ensue. Each demon getting closer and closer to each other, but luckily none of the human occupants noticed this exchange.
Rin looked in the direction in which Sango had taken and said, “I think I am going to find Sango. Don't want her to do something dumb while in this crowd,” and she began her trod in search of the other young woman.
InuYasha followed Rin with his eyes, until he could no longer see her and turned back to the others. He looked over at the raven haired girl and yelled so she could hear, “Hey Higurashi, would you like to dance?”
“I don't think so mutt face,” Koga started, “there is no way in hell, I will be letting you dance with my woman.”
“Your woman,” InuYasha drawled, “yeah that is hilarious. I don't know how much your girl Ogawa likes that,” InuYasha finished looking over at Ayame then back to Koga.
Koga, knowing that this whole scenario wouldn't work, quickly shook his head, “I don't know what you are talking about dog turd...” he had to leave it off there so he didn't say something he would regret, `Damn Kagome and her stupid idea's.'
“Whatever,” InuYasha grinned, “I know you are dating Ogawa and that you have been dating for awhile.” He had to push the issue. `What the hell were these wolves thinking that I wouldn't catch on,' he thought almost insulted to himself.
“Alright,” Kagome shook her head knowing this wasn't working, “how did you know?”
“I told him,” Miroku stated, lifting up his hand.
“Sakamoto,” Kagome started now pissed, “when and why did you do that?”
“What do you mean when and why,” Miroku asked, “Higurashi it's like a given. When I first introduced him to you all, I also explained to him that Ogawa was the only one in the group that had a boyfriend, and I told him what his name was.” He let his words hang in the air, not knowing why it wouldn't be blatantly obvious to her that he would say such a thing.
Ayame, just shook her head, knowing the whole time it wouldn't work. `I hope Kags' at least learned her lesson,' she thought as she gazed silently at the other girl. Glancing slightly to her left, Koga was standing looking pissed beyond measure, `Crap, I won't be hearing the end of this for a while.' As that thought left her, Koga looked in her direction locking eyes with her. She could she the tension behind his gaze, `yeah, it will definitely be a long night.'
InuYasha was glad the conversation moved away from him. He knew cause of his senses, but he couldn't tell anyone that but apparently Miroku already told him so that also saved his butt.
Kagome could only lower her head, she felt so stupid, and she made everyone else look dumb. `It was fun while I thought it worked,' she saw some movement and then looked up.
Takahashi was a few feet away, but getting closer as the seconds trickled by. Kagome began to blush when she realized that he was standing so close to her. “Yeah, you can't get rid of me that easy Higurashi,” he stated with a nice grin gracing his tanned face. Moving instinctively away from the hunter's gaze in his eyes, so felt her heartbeat speed up as he once more moved in on her bubble. Leaning slowly to her face, lightly touching his nose to her cheek. She felt his breath on her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
Leaning in close to her, he whispered huskily in her ear, “and I know you don't really want to.”
Kagome was sputtering. She was so shaken up, the feelings he gave her when he was close. The way her body reacted to his simplest movements, it was almost too much. As he began to pull back, she felt the blush on her cheeks rise more. Looking for a nice comeback, and finding none. She had to thank the Kami's that the lights lowered when he pulled fully away from her, and the announcers' voice rang through the speakers.
“How is everyone doing tonight,” he asked as the crowd roared to him in response.
He gave a small smirk to the crowd, and lowered his head to look at the paper he was using as a prompt.
“As a lot of you my have already found out,” he began looking back up into the hazy mist of people. “We have some pretty well known guests with us tonight. Due to the popularity this group has had, we would first like one of the girls from Aishiteru to come up and give their performance,” he said as the spotlight switch to the crowd, and the crowd began to roar now finding out that the girl band was there.
InuYasha looked over to where Kagome was trying desperately to not look his way. He had to silently chuckle at how adamant she was being towards him at that moment. She might think he didn't notice things, but he sure as hell noticed every detail when it came to the woman standing five feet to his right. Even though she might think that he had not seen the blush on her cheeks, he had. Even though she thought with the loud roar of people, he wouldn't have heard her let out a small sigh of relief that she hadn't come up with anything, but he had. Even though there were so many people around that Kagome might not have thought that he could not smell the change in her scent, he had. And even though she thought he hadn't noticed how she grabbed his hand, to steady herself, when she thought she was going to fall limp in her knees, as she looked into his eyes, he had.
Sango hearing the announcement decided to go first, `and I have the perfect song,' she thought as she made her way to the front. “I will catch you later Rin…I have to make Sakamoto pay.”
Rin could only shake her head at her friends' mischievous look, “that girl is too much,” and with that she tried to make it back to the others.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Hearing the announcement Kagome began to feel the heat rise in her cheeks once more. She felt Takahashi's eyes revert to her, and she could only groan as his gaze was not letting up. Trying desperately to get away from him, but not be the center of attention as of yet, she started to make her way to the right, when she saw Sango climb up the stairs on the side of the platform.
When Miroku saw Sango on the stage he was a little frightened. The last time Sango was mad at him… she embarrassed him, `but with Sango you never know,' Miroku thought sadly.
Sango looked out into the crowd, scanning for the one man that the song was meant for after she told the DJ of her selection, and when her eyes landed on him she was positive she saw him take a big gulp. `That's right, be afraid…be very, very afraid,'Sango snickered to herself as the music began to blast through the club.
“Superstar
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Gotta clue, what you're doing?
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby”
Kagome, Rin and Ayame had to crack up when Sango chose to sing Womanizer. She looked over at Sakamoto and knew he felt hurt by his down trodden demeanor…but he did go a little too far this time.
Sango turned around on the stage and smacked her butt for extra emphasis on the song, and the fact that men are womanizers. She had to smile when she heard a lot more excitement coming from the crowd after she did that.
InuYasha had to laugh. When his friend said that people went all out for these things, Miroku wasn't joking. `Kimura is tearing it up out there,' he thought as she began to do low dips on stage just to tease Miroku.
Miroku couldn't help but feel enticed by this woman in front of him, `she is perfect,' he thought to himself as he watched her on stage, and he couldn't help but feel like a pig. `If I could just control myself,' he began, but stopped when he saw what Kimura was doing on stage.
Sango grabbed one of the guys close to the stage and started to use him as the “womanizer”. She knew she probably looked like a slut at the moment, but she really didn't care. She was way too involved in the song, and she wanted to get Sakamoto back.
She pushed her bottom into his crouch and turned around to run her hands threw his hair. She began to step pompously away from him. Making sure to angle her shoes just right, so her high heeled shoes clanked loudly on the stage.
Sango grabbed the man that she was dancing with by his collar and rapped her right leg around his waist. She heard a couple roars from the club and decided to push the envelope further. She grabbed his hand and led it down the center of her breast, and brought his face close to hers as she sang the rest of the chorus. Singing next to his ear, as her hand was jumbled in his hair.
Sango looked out into the crowd making sure she locked eyes with Sakamoto before she sang the next part of the song. She just needed to make sure he understood her.
“Sango really gave it to him this time,” Rin laughed.
“You got that right,” Kagome answered back loving the performance her friend was giving.
Sango pushed the man that she was dancing with away and began walking to the front of the stage. She knew she made her point and perhaps now that lecher would learn.
Miroku saw Kimura push the man away and walk up to the front getting ready to close the song up. He had to give her props. Her performance was excellent, but he also knew with the way she was singing that this would more than likely turn into a battle, and only the really talented people stayed in that. However, he had a bad feeling that he would be called onto the stage next, and he would kill InuYasha for signing him up for it in the first place.
“Womanizer
Woman-Womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh Womanizer
Oh You're a Womanizer Baby”
As the song ended the crowd erupted in applause at the performance Sango just gave. She took a bow once the last note left her mouth. The announcer came back to her and began to speak.
“Alright Kimura that was excellent,” he began, “I think even Britney Spears would have a hard time doing better than that performance.” A couple more roars could be heard throughout the audience showing that they completely agreed with him.
“Well I hate to say this, but unfortunately its part of my job description,” the announcer said over the crowd, “when the audience found out that you all were here, a bunch of them pulled out, and so now we only have a few options left,” he then pulled out a sheet of the names that were still left in the contest and handed it to Sango. “So who would you like to go next?”
Sango quickly skimmed the list, and her eyes landed on the perfect person. She looked up with a nice glint in her eyes, “I think that Sakamoto Miroku should go next,” and with that the crowd cranked up the volume with the applause. She smiled brightly to the crowd and made her way haughtily off the stage.
“Alright Sakamoto… you're up,” the announcer said into the microphone.
Miroku had to put his face down. He just knew this was going to happen. “InuYasha,” Miroku yelled at his friend to get his attention, “I will kill you when this is over.”
InuYasha just laughed, “Sure you will…now get your butt up there before Kimura drags you up.”
Miroku had to think of the perfect song to make Sango understand him. He was only perverted around her and only her. How could he make her understand that. He began to slowly make his way towards the stage. Right before he reached the stairs, he snapped his fingers, “I got it,” he stated to no one in particular, as he thought of the perfect song. `It will let her know I am sorry, and tell her how I feel about her,' he thought as he came to the stage.
“Well Sakamoto,” the announcer began, “anything you would like to say to Kimura before we begin?”
“I think I will just let the song speak for itself,” and with that he moved to the side of the stage and told the DJ what song he wanted to sing.
Sango hearing that statement was a little drawn back. Confused by what a little song could do to lighten her mood, `he's not getting off that easy,' she thought as the song started in the club.
“Ain't no other woman that could take your spotlight...”
Sango looked over at the girls when they heard the song blast through the club. She saw Kagomes' eyes widen when she heard… and then smile a little which kind of alarmed her, `why would he be singing this song,' she thought as she turned her attention back to the man on the stage.
“If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do)”
Miroku had to hope this worked. He hated performing stuff like this on stage, but when the time came for it, he would give it his all. He wasn't focusing on the dance moves. He wasn't focusing on the hundreds of people in the crowd. He spotted the one woman whom he let down, and looked her in the eyes. Calling her to listen, pleading with her to understand, as he sang the words to the song.
Ayame looked at Sango to see how she was taking it and was surprised to see her eyes start to mist up. `I knew it would happen sooner or later. I am just glad it happened sooner.' She tightened her hold on Koga's hand. He glanced down. She smiled up at him, letting him know everything was alright. Resting her head against his arm as she listened to her friend on stage, pour his heart out to the woman he loves.
Miroku knew that he probably looked retarded on the stage, but he just couldn't help starting to dance the way JT danced to this song. He just wanted to get Sango to see that she was the only one for him.
Sango couldn't believe what she was hearing. This had to be one of the most romantic things anyone has ever done for her…and here, Miroku was doing it, in front of all theses people. She smiled a little more, as she continued to watch his performance.
InuYasha had to chuckle a little at how his friend was acting, but he was also very happy for him `cause he was really loosening up on stage. “I always knew he had it in him,” he said to no one in particular, but one person heard him that he didn't even know was listening.
Miroku let the song track take over…and then looked out into the crowd to start the rap of the song.
Miroku took a deep breath and began singing the rest of the song. Not being able to believe that he just rapped that fast and was able to keep his cool. He moved over to the center of the stage, and all the girls started screaming at him. Wanting him to look down at them, but he only had one woman on his mind, and he was looking straight at her.
Kagome was a little surprised to hear Takahashi say that about Sakamoto. She smiled when she realized that he hides a lot of himself from others. `When I first met him, I never really thought he cared about anyone but himself, but maybe I was a little wrong about him,' she thought as she turned her head back to the stage to see Sakamoto finish the last of his song.
As Miroku sang the last notes, he closed his eyes, and the crowd started to erupt in applause. He looked out once more and locked eyes with Sango, “Kimura will you take this chance and be with me,” he began hearing the crowd start to quiet down to hear what he was saying. “I want to prove to you that I am the man of your dreams,” he said smiling in her direction, the light booming directly on him now, made it a little hard to see where exactly she was standing. After a few brief seconds, he spotted her, squinting a little to be positive, he saw that it was indeed Sango and continued, “no other woman can take your spot, so will you be my love,” he asked while chuckling a little at his own joke.

Kagome could tell that someone was watching her, and it was getting mildly irritating. She knew that when she and the girls danced the way they were, they were the center of attention until they were done. `It's just that this set of eyes feel familiar, but how could that be,' Kagome pondered looking around the club, and what she found took her breath away.
Takahashi was coming her way with Sakamoto a little in front of him, but Miroku was in none of her thoughts. All thoughts were about a certain brown haired amber eyed man walking this way,`He looks so… hot'.
His hair tied at the nape of his neck, swayed softly with his body. His eyes, held this foreign look that she wasn't used to in them. A lustful look. Almost as if they were glowing in the darkened club dance floor.
This man who was walking towards her, at the moment, had to be one of the sexiest men she had ever laid eyes upon. He held this air of confidence that hardly any man on earth possessed any more, and when they locked eyes her heart had to of skipped a beat. Time seemed to slow, as she watched his graceful approach.
His stalking approach.
The hat on his head lowered a bit, probably from trying to hold back his big grin, but Kagome could care less at the moment.
His black jacket and white tee moved as one with his body. His white tee showed off his perfectly sculpted chest and to top the style off, he wore a white and blue stripped collared shirt that was unbuttoned, so a person looking at him could see his white tee perfectly.
Kagome vaguely noticed her dance partners stop dancing with her, indicating that the song was over but she was still in lala land. Ayame tapped her on the shoulder, forcing her brain from the Takahashi perfect terra firma back to earth. Kagome had to shake her head a few times, to get whatever stupid thoughts that were in her head a few seconds prior out, and she had to blush when she realized that she was oogling the same man for an extended period of time, which was great… cause right when she started blushing, Takahashi reached her side.
“Having a good time,” he asked, once he was in speaking distance to the girl.
“Yeah, I guess so,” Kagome said, still mildly embarrassed.
“You look great tonight Higurashi,” InuYasha said, leaning a little closer to her, so that they would be a part of their own conversation…the others somewhere else.
Kagome instantly felt her cheeks light up, “Well thank you Takahashi, you don't look too bad yourself.” She finished looking down at her shoes, which regrettably, was the safest area to look at this moment, `Why won't my cheeks cool down already?'
InuYasha let out a little chuckle, “You know Higurashi, if you blush anymore… I think that you will be permanently tomato colored.”
Kagome instantly lifted her head to lock eyes with the man, feeling the blush spread to her cheeks more, she turned to face the bar area, her eyes started to grow wide as she began to worry about the never ending blush. Quietly, almost with naivety, she responded, “You know, it only makes it worse when you say something about it.”
Chuckling a little at her behavior, “Yeah, I know.”
Looking over at him at his unbiased response, Kagome was a little taken aback by how joyous he seemed, just to know that she was struggling over herself with such a small issue. Feeling a little more confident, she closed her eyes, placing her hands across her small frame, and turned her head away with a smile gracing her visage, “You know, you could be a little nicer about it.”
Looking over at her intently, he let a little grin grace his face as he leaned his head back, letting out an airy laugh, “But where is the fun in that?”
Feeling a little more composed about her whole, `tomato colored cheeks,' she turned to face him, smiling broadly at the man in front of her, “I guess you are right Takahashi.”
A little surprised at her easygoing behavior, InuYasha, without really thinking stated, “You are so much different tonight.”
Looking at him with confusion, she lifted an eyebrow at his quiet retort, “What was that, I didn't quite catch that...?”
His eyes went wide with disbelief that he stated his thoughts out loud, he swallowed, and let out a big sigh, a small grin once more on his face, “Oh nothing, I was just mumbling to myself.” He had to pat himself on the back, as he thought up the last minute retort.
“Oh,” Kagome replied after a moment. He looked over to her, and saw that she was struggling with what to say. He was about to open his mouth, when someone ran right into her, knocking her over.
He saw her begin to descend to the ground, face first which allowed her body to fall over his, so that she wouldn't land on the hard cement ground, `which feels great, might I add,' he grumbled to himself.
After a few moments, Kagome opened her eyes and was met with liquid topaz, feeling the blush creep on her cheeks once more.
InuYasha was having a hard time trying not to blush himself once he realized their position. Shaking his head to get the self-conscious feeling to leave, he started to become confused as to why he might have been humiliated in the first place. `I never get uncomfortable around women,' he grumbled to himself. `That has only happened once and that was with…' his eyes widened at the realization, and he now officially became embarrassed.
He slowly gazed into her eyes and was taken aback by the beauty within her orbs. Her blue eyes swiveled with her emotions, telling all her secrets. The intensity of her gaze on him, made him want to submit to all her wills. All her whims. And he wouldn't put up a fight; he would follow them without fail.
Shaking his head once more to get the scenes that he just declared to himself out of his head, he made to get up when Kagome suddenly started to push back down on him, apparently trying to get her grounding.
InuYasha, not liking the position at the moment, started to get restless, he flipped them quickly over, so that she was lying gently beneath him. Feeling a bit more at ease, with himself as the one in control, he finally felt the blush starting to leave his visage.
Kagome looked up when she felt it was safe to open her eyes, and the blush on her cheeks increased tenfold as she saw the amber eyed man looking intently down at her.
“You all right?” She heard him ask thoughtfully.
Managing a little nod of her head, she conveyed to him that she was indeed all right, although, she was still extremely discomfited.
She made to get up, not really wanting to see his gaze for at least fifteen minutes, and was surprised when she felt a little push from him, making her land softly to the position she was just in… on her back.
He leaned down from how his arms were extended, and allowed his arms to lay flat from his hands to his elbows. “Not until you pay the toll,” InuYasha said leaning in closer, feeling his own heartbeat quicken as the words left his mouth. Looking mischievously down at her, loving the way her heartbeat increased with his as the words sunk in.
Any negation on Kagomes' tongue was lost, her breath hitched in her throat as she felt the man on top of her leaning even closer than he was. `What is wrong with me,' Kagome wondered as she spoke, “and what would that be,” she asked in a shaking whisper.
“A kiss,” InuYasha said closing in on her body as he felt her body give itself to him. He heard her heartbeat speed up as he leaned in closer still… so now he was touching her nose to his.
“A kiss?” Kagome said while her eyes started fluttering closed. Her body wanting nothing more than to allow that very thing to happen.
“Yeah,” InuYasha answered, as he tried desperately to hold himself back from ravaging her body right there in the middle of the club. He leaned a little further down, so that his mouth was directly over hers as he started to close his eyes. Feeling his own body give into her beck and calls.
“I think that would—”
“Are you guys going to do it or not,” Miroku interrupted, tired of the wait.
Kagome immediately came back to her senses and pushed InuYasha off of her, and her friends came over to help her up. `What the crap is wrong with me…was I really going to kiss him,' Kagome wondered to herself as she finally was able to stand on two feet.
InuYasha just laid on the ground, pissed beyond reason that he was so close… yet it was taken away from him at the last moment by his friend no less. Speaking of, where was he… he needed a good beating. “Miroku,” InuYasha warned as he began to stand up.
Miroku knowing what was going to happen started to slowly back up, “Now InuYasha, I didn't mean to interrupt the moment between you and Higurashi… it just sort of fell out,” Miroku added to his friend, hoping that he would be gracious and not kick his butt.
“Sort of fell out,” InuYasha repeated after his friend, “well forgive my fist if it sort of hits your face,” InuYasha said now starting to head towards the other man.
Miroku seeing the terror in head of him turned around and began to run the opposite way, “InuYasha please be sensible,” Miroku pleaded.
When Sango noticed InuYasha chase Miroku to some unknown place in the club she thought it was as good a time as ever to breach the subject with her friend, “Ummm Kagome, what happened back there?”
Rin and Ayame immediately went to attention at the question hanging in the air.
Kagome immediately blushed at the reminder of his firm body and breath on her skin, for some reason it just felt right. All of it felt right, as if they were… made for each other, but she wouldn't ever admit it. “Ummm I don't know,” she half told the truth. She looked down so her friends wouldn't be able to tell that she was lying.
“Well it looked pretty intense from where we were standing,” Ayame stated pointing out the obvious.
“What looked intense,” Koga stated looking around at everyone. He pulled Ayame to his chest from behind her, rubbing his nose through her hair. Loving the scent she gave off, he sighed as he rested his head on top of hers.
“Oh nothing,” Kagome said glad for the interruption, “So how has school been going?” She placed a nice smile on face, loving the fact that he had perfect timing.
Koga straightened his position to stand next to Ayame as he turned to face Kagome and answer her question. “Well it's school,” he stated laughing a little, “but it's almost summer vacation, so I am happy I will at least get a little break. Your brain can get tired going on over drive for eight months straight.”
“Yeah, I know what you mean,” Kagome laughed, “but at least you've known what you wanted to do since high school.”
“That's true,” Koga smiled, “So what have you been up to Higurashi, I haven't talked to you in awhile.”
Smiling a little, `Koga was always so concerned about me,' she thought as she got a far off look in her eyes and started to scratch the back of her neck, “Well you know I have Aishiteru, the girls, and school,” Kagome said a little self conscious.
“What are you doing now in school,” Koga asked, for as long as he had known her, Kagome loved to change what she was studying.
“Well right now I am just doing general… you know still can't make up my mind,” Kagome laughed feeling awkward that Koga and her, have been the only ones talking for the past minute.
“Ain't that the truth,” Rin laughed joining the conversation.
“Shut up,” Kagome said giving her friend the `be quiet I am kidding look.'
“So what time is it honey,” Ayame asked Koga, laughing a little at her friend's behavior.
“Oh,” Koga responded, his eyes going wide for a second. “Well I left my place around eleven so,” he looked at his watch, “it's 11:15.” Looking back up, he started laughing a little, “It took me awhile to find you guys.”
“Yeah, we were a little pre-occupied by something for a while,” Sango added, drawing attention back to Kagome.
The other girls in turn glanced back in her direction.
“Really? It must've been really good if I couldn't find you all,” Koga added, now a little concerned with how everyone was looking at Kagome.
Speaking of… “Ayame could I ask you something?” Kagome thought of the perfect idea.
“Umm sure,” Ayame added a little confused but following Kagome a little away from the others.
When Kagome thought that they had put enough distance between them and the others she turned to face her friend. “Ayame do you mind if Yoshida acts like we are dating… I need to get InuYasha off of my back,” Kagome asked looking around for said man.
“I don't know Kagome. I really don't think Koga will go for it,” Ayame added trying to get her friend to see how stupid a request that would be. She never told her friend's about demons, and she would like to keep it that way.
“Yoshida won't mind. I am concerned about you,” Kagome said looking straight in her eyes, “I don't want to hurt your feelings. I will just be messing around trying to get InuYasha to get the picture that I am interested in someone else, and he is interested in me,” Kagome added smiling a little hoping to win her friend over.
“Kags' it isn't going to work,” Ayame replied sighing loudly. “You know, as well as I do that InuYasha will see straight through it,” she added hoping her friend would just give up.
“Please Ayame… if you want me to stop I will… just give me the word…if you feel uncomfortable in any way,” Kagome asked pleading with her friend.
Frustrated that her friend wasn't listening, `I guess she will just have to learn the hard way,' she thought mildly. “Okay… I know you all don't have feelings for each other, and it's not like I haven't seen Koga all protective over you before, but I know it's more as a sister than anything else,” Ayame added smiling just a bit, allowing her friend to believe that she won her over.
“Thank you, Ayame,” Kagome said hugging her friend, “I owe you big time.”
“Yeah you do,” Ayame said, looking all serious all of a sudden, but she had happiness in her eyes, “Okay, let's tell Koga.”
“Yeah and I will explain it to the other girls,” Kagome said, walking in the direction they left their friends in.
Ayame followed closely behind her, `Kagome, you have no idea what you are going up against on this one.'
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
By the time InuYasha came back to where he left Kagome and the other girls he was surprised to see another man in the midst of them.
He saw Kagome look over at him and then immediately she looked at the other man and threw her arms around his neck, “Oh Koga, we should go out later this week.”
Koga rested his arms around Kagome's waist and looked down into the girls' blue eyes, “Well I think that would be great. What time should I pick you up, babe?”
By that time, Miroku showed up and to say that he was confused would be a lack of a better word. He looked over to Sango to answer his unasked question, and she quickly shook her head in the negative and smiled. He knew something was up. He just had to wait and see what it was.
InuYasha walked up to where Kagome was holding the other man, and Kagome looked to him and smiled as if forgetting he was ever there. “Oh hi Takahashi, look at me not introducing everyone. Takahashi InuYasha this is Yoshida Koga,” she said while looking at the slightly taller man.
“Hey man,” Koga said extending his arm to the brown haired man. However, when he turned and caught a whiff of him, Koga had to growl softly at the other man.
Getting a whiff of the other man, InuYasha let out an inaudible growl himself, reluctantly reaching for his hand and gave it a good shake, “Hey.”
Koga let his arm go and looked over to Miroku, while still keeping his eyes on InuYasha, “Hey Miroku, how have you been doing?”
Miroku came out of his stupor… and noticed that Koga was talking to him, “Oh hey Koga. I am fine, just been glancing over at my lovely Kimura,” Miroku said, tilting his head in said girls direction where a very distinct intake of breath could be heard.
Sango, who was taken back by his statement, turned to Miroku, “You are such a pervert Sakamoto, come over here so I can beat some sense into you.”
“My, my Kimura if I knew you liked it rough I would have tried that outlet long—”
A very distinguished slap could be heard, and some couples close to them, turned to see what the noise might have come from and to whom, and what they found was a very irate young woman.
“Sakamoto I can not believe you. You are such a lecher!” Sango yelled out the last part and stormed off.
“Kimura wait,” Miroku pleaded but when he saw that there was no hope for her being able to hear, he gave up with his head falling forward, “I am so misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood,” InuYasha laughed, “give me a break Miroku. You had that coming.”
He looked to his right when he felt a presence stand closer to him, “What the hell are you doing going after Kagome,” Koga asked quietly through clenched teeth.
“Why the hell do you care,” InuYasha shot back, just as silently. “It's not like she is your woman,” he added making sure to stress the fact that Kagome… wasn't the wolf's property.
A staring match was beginning to ensue. Each demon getting closer and closer to each other, but luckily none of the human occupants noticed this exchange.
Rin looked in the direction in which Sango had taken and said, “I think I am going to find Sango. Don't want her to do something dumb while in this crowd,” and she began her trod in search of the other young woman.
InuYasha followed Rin with his eyes, until he could no longer see her and turned back to the others. He looked over at the raven haired girl and yelled so she could hear, “Hey Higurashi, would you like to dance?”
“I don't think so mutt face,” Koga started, “there is no way in hell, I will be letting you dance with my woman.”
“Your woman,” InuYasha drawled, “yeah that is hilarious. I don't know how much your girl Ogawa likes that,” InuYasha finished looking over at Ayame then back to Koga.
Koga, knowing that this whole scenario wouldn't work, quickly shook his head, “I don't know what you are talking about dog turd...” he had to leave it off there so he didn't say something he would regret, `Damn Kagome and her stupid idea's.'
“Whatever,” InuYasha grinned, “I know you are dating Ogawa and that you have been dating for awhile.” He had to push the issue. `What the hell were these wolves thinking that I wouldn't catch on,' he thought almost insulted to himself.
“Alright,” Kagome shook her head knowing this wasn't working, “how did you know?”
“I told him,” Miroku stated, lifting up his hand.
“Sakamoto,” Kagome started now pissed, “when and why did you do that?”
“What do you mean when and why,” Miroku asked, “Higurashi it's like a given. When I first introduced him to you all, I also explained to him that Ogawa was the only one in the group that had a boyfriend, and I told him what his name was.” He let his words hang in the air, not knowing why it wouldn't be blatantly obvious to her that he would say such a thing.
Ayame, just shook her head, knowing the whole time it wouldn't work. `I hope Kags' at least learned her lesson,' she thought as she gazed silently at the other girl. Glancing slightly to her left, Koga was standing looking pissed beyond measure, `Crap, I won't be hearing the end of this for a while.' As that thought left her, Koga looked in her direction locking eyes with her. She could she the tension behind his gaze, `yeah, it will definitely be a long night.'
InuYasha was glad the conversation moved away from him. He knew cause of his senses, but he couldn't tell anyone that but apparently Miroku already told him so that also saved his butt.
Kagome could only lower her head, she felt so stupid, and she made everyone else look dumb. `It was fun while I thought it worked,' she saw some movement and then looked up.
Takahashi was a few feet away, but getting closer as the seconds trickled by. Kagome began to blush when she realized that he was standing so close to her. “Yeah, you can't get rid of me that easy Higurashi,” he stated with a nice grin gracing his tanned face. Moving instinctively away from the hunter's gaze in his eyes, so felt her heartbeat speed up as he once more moved in on her bubble. Leaning slowly to her face, lightly touching his nose to her cheek. She felt his breath on her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
Leaning in close to her, he whispered huskily in her ear, “and I know you don't really want to.”
Kagome was sputtering. She was so shaken up, the feelings he gave her when he was close. The way her body reacted to his simplest movements, it was almost too much. As he began to pull back, she felt the blush on her cheeks rise more. Looking for a nice comeback, and finding none. She had to thank the Kami's that the lights lowered when he pulled fully away from her, and the announcers' voice rang through the speakers.
“How is everyone doing tonight,” he asked as the crowd roared to him in response.
He gave a small smirk to the crowd, and lowered his head to look at the paper he was using as a prompt.
“As a lot of you my have already found out,” he began looking back up into the hazy mist of people. “We have some pretty well known guests with us tonight. Due to the popularity this group has had, we would first like one of the girls from Aishiteru to come up and give their performance,” he said as the spotlight switch to the crowd, and the crowd began to roar now finding out that the girl band was there.
InuYasha looked over to where Kagome was trying desperately to not look his way. He had to silently chuckle at how adamant she was being towards him at that moment. She might think he didn't notice things, but he sure as hell noticed every detail when it came to the woman standing five feet to his right. Even though she might think that he had not seen the blush on her cheeks, he had. Even though she thought with the loud roar of people, he wouldn't have heard her let out a small sigh of relief that she hadn't come up with anything, but he had. Even though there were so many people around that Kagome might not have thought that he could not smell the change in her scent, he had. And even though she thought he hadn't noticed how she grabbed his hand, to steady herself, when she thought she was going to fall limp in her knees, as she looked into his eyes, he had.
Sango hearing the announcement decided to go first, `and I have the perfect song,' she thought as she made her way to the front. “I will catch you later Rin…I have to make Sakamoto pay.”
Rin could only shake her head at her friends' mischievous look, “that girl is too much,” and with that she tried to make it back to the others.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Hearing the announcement Kagome began to feel the heat rise in her cheeks once more. She felt Takahashi's eyes revert to her, and she could only groan as his gaze was not letting up. Trying desperately to get away from him, but not be the center of attention as of yet, she started to make her way to the right, when she saw Sango climb up the stairs on the side of the platform.
When Miroku saw Sango on the stage he was a little frightened. The last time Sango was mad at him… she embarrassed him, `but with Sango you never know,' Miroku thought sadly.
Sango looked out into the crowd, scanning for the one man that the song was meant for after she told the DJ of her selection, and when her eyes landed on him she was positive she saw him take a big gulp. `That's right, be afraid…be very, very afraid,'Sango snickered to herself as the music began to blast through the club.
“Superstar
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Gotta clue, what you're doing?
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby”
Kagome, Rin and Ayame had to crack up when Sango chose to sing Womanizer. She looked over at Sakamoto and knew he felt hurt by his down trodden demeanor…but he did go a little too far this time.
Sango turned around on the stage and smacked her butt for extra emphasis on the song, and the fact that men are womanizers. She had to smile when she heard a lot more excitement coming from the crowd after she did that.
InuYasha had to laugh. When his friend said that people went all out for these things, Miroku wasn't joking. `Kimura is tearing it up out there,' he thought as she began to do low dips on stage just to tease Miroku.
Miroku couldn't help but feel enticed by this woman in front of him, `she is perfect,' he thought to himself as he watched her on stage, and he couldn't help but feel like a pig. `If I could just control myself,' he began, but stopped when he saw what Kimura was doing on stage.
Sango grabbed one of the guys close to the stage and started to use him as the “womanizer”. She knew she probably looked like a slut at the moment, but she really didn't care. She was way too involved in the song, and she wanted to get Sakamoto back.
She pushed her bottom into his crouch and turned around to run her hands threw his hair. She began to step pompously away from him. Making sure to angle her shoes just right, so her high heeled shoes clanked loudly on the stage.
Sango grabbed the man that she was dancing with by his collar and rapped her right leg around his waist. She heard a couple roars from the club and decided to push the envelope further. She grabbed his hand and led it down the center of her breast, and brought his face close to hers as she sang the rest of the chorus. Singing next to his ear, as her hand was jumbled in his hair.
Sango looked out into the crowd making sure she locked eyes with Sakamoto before she sang the next part of the song. She just needed to make sure he understood her.
“Sango really gave it to him this time,” Rin laughed.
“You got that right,” Kagome answered back loving the performance her friend was giving.
Sango pushed the man that she was dancing with away and began walking to the front of the stage. She knew she made her point and perhaps now that lecher would learn.
Miroku saw Kimura push the man away and walk up to the front getting ready to close the song up. He had to give her props. Her performance was excellent, but he also knew with the way she was singing that this would more than likely turn into a battle, and only the really talented people stayed in that. However, he had a bad feeling that he would be called onto the stage next, and he would kill InuYasha for signing him up for it in the first place.
“Womanizer
Woman-Womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh Womanizer
Oh You're a Womanizer Baby”
As the song ended the crowd erupted in applause at the performance Sango just gave. She took a bow once the last note left her mouth. The announcer came back to her and began to speak.
“Alright Kimura that was excellent,” he began, “I think even Britney Spears would have a hard time doing better than that performance.” A couple more roars could be heard throughout the audience showing that they completely agreed with him.
“Well I hate to say this, but unfortunately its part of my job description,” the announcer said over the crowd, “when the audience found out that you all were here, a bunch of them pulled out, and so now we only have a few options left,” he then pulled out a sheet of the names that were still left in the contest and handed it to Sango. “So who would you like to go next?”
Sango quickly skimmed the list, and her eyes landed on the perfect person. She looked up with a nice glint in her eyes, “I think that Sakamoto Miroku should go next,” and with that the crowd cranked up the volume with the applause. She smiled brightly to the crowd and made her way haughtily off the stage.
“Alright Sakamoto… you're up,” the announcer said into the microphone.
Miroku had to put his face down. He just knew this was going to happen. “InuYasha,” Miroku yelled at his friend to get his attention, “I will kill you when this is over.”
InuYasha just laughed, “Sure you will…now get your butt up there before Kimura drags you up.”
Miroku had to think of the perfect song to make Sango understand him. He was only perverted around her and only her. How could he make her understand that. He began to slowly make his way towards the stage. Right before he reached the stairs, he snapped his fingers, “I got it,” he stated to no one in particular, as he thought of the perfect song. `It will let her know I am sorry, and tell her how I feel about her,' he thought as he came to the stage.
“Well Sakamoto,” the announcer began, “anything you would like to say to Kimura before we begin?”
“I think I will just let the song speak for itself,” and with that he moved to the side of the stage and told the DJ what song he wanted to sing.
Sango hearing that statement was a little drawn back. Confused by what a little song could do to lighten her mood, `he's not getting off that easy,' she thought as the song started in the club.
“Ain't no other woman that could take your spotlight...”
Sango looked over at the girls when they heard the song blast through the club. She saw Kagomes' eyes widen when she heard… and then smile a little which kind of alarmed her, `why would he be singing this song,' she thought as she turned her attention back to the man on the stage.
“If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do)”
Miroku had to hope this worked. He hated performing stuff like this on stage, but when the time came for it, he would give it his all. He wasn't focusing on the dance moves. He wasn't focusing on the hundreds of people in the crowd. He spotted the one woman whom he let down, and looked her in the eyes. Calling her to listen, pleading with her to understand, as he sang the words to the song.
Ayame looked at Sango to see how she was taking it and was surprised to see her eyes start to mist up. `I knew it would happen sooner or later. I am just glad it happened sooner.' She tightened her hold on Koga's hand. He glanced down. She smiled up at him, letting him know everything was alright. Resting her head against his arm as she listened to her friend on stage, pour his heart out to the woman he loves.
Miroku knew that he probably looked retarded on the stage, but he just couldn't help starting to dance the way JT danced to this song. He just wanted to get Sango to see that she was the only one for him.
Sango couldn't believe what she was hearing. This had to be one of the most romantic things anyone has ever done for her…and here, Miroku was doing it, in front of all theses people. She smiled a little more, as she continued to watch his performance.
InuYasha had to chuckle a little at how his friend was acting, but he was also very happy for him `cause he was really loosening up on stage. “I always knew he had it in him,” he said to no one in particular, but one person heard him that he didn't even know was listening.
Miroku let the song track take over…and then looked out into the crowd to start the rap of the song.
Miroku took a deep breath and began singing the rest of the song. Not being able to believe that he just rapped that fast and was able to keep his cool. He moved over to the center of the stage, and all the girls started screaming at him. Wanting him to look down at them, but he only had one woman on his mind, and he was looking straight at her.
Kagome was a little surprised to hear Takahashi say that about Sakamoto. She smiled when she realized that he hides a lot of himself from others. `When I first met him, I never really thought he cared about anyone but himself, but maybe I was a little wrong about him,' she thought as she turned her head back to the stage to see Sakamoto finish the last of his song.
As Miroku sang the last notes, he closed his eyes, and the crowd started to erupt in applause. He looked out once more and locked eyes with Sango, “Kimura will you take this chance and be with me,” he began hearing the crowd start to quiet down to hear what he was saying. “I want to prove to you that I am the man of your dreams,” he said smiling in her direction, the light booming directly on him now, made it a little hard to see where exactly she was standing. After a few brief seconds, he spotted her, squinting a little to be positive, he saw that it was indeed Sango and continued, “no other woman can take your spot, so will you be my love,” he asked while chuckling a little at his own joke.
