InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Ad ❯ A Change in Tactics ( Chapter 6 )

CH. 6

Kagura laid comfortably on the massage table as a Swedish gift to women worked the tired muscles of her back. She moaned in pleasure. "Oh, Axel, you are a god!" The young man smiled and pushed the purple towel lower, revealing more sinuous flesh that needed his attention. The lights were dim in the back room of Greta's Spa. Rosemary scented candles had been lit in order to provide a bit of aroma therapy, and as Kagura was enjoying her back massage from the blonde muscle machine, another woman sat in the corner having her pores opened with a steam machine. "How are you holding up, Yura?"

"Hard to breath, but it's worth it!" The woman smiled as she allowed her lavender robe to fall a little more open.

"This is heaven." Kagura agreed. There seemed to be a commotion in the front rooms when suddenly, their door was ripped open.

"Kagura, I need your help." An angry hanyou declared as Greta yelled obscenities at him in her native tongue.

"This was heaven." Kagura sighed before rolling her eyes at the intruder. "Inu Yasha, weren't you ever taught to knock?"

"Inu Yasha? As in Inu Yasha Takahashi?" Yura asked standing, her robe barely reaching her thighs. She walked suggestively towards him, but Inu Yasha ignored her.

"No, not really." He pulled up a chair dismissively. "Arnold here can continue, I don't mind."

"His name is Axel, and he is the god of masseuses. Ignore him, Greta; he will be no more trouble. That's the spot…" Greta crossly left the room, while Yura worked her way to Inu Yasha, ensuring he had a clear view of her prize awarded legs.

"I need advice."

"Never beat around the bush, do you?" Kagura rolled her eyes.

"I like that in a man." Yura smiled as she leaned towards him, knowing he could easily see her breasts, but Inu Yasha never turned towards her.

"It's about a woman."

"You need advice about a woman?" Kagura's head shot up. "Since when?"

"Keh, since I met the only woman in this city insane enough to think she is out of my league."

"So you mean someone with class and standards." Kagura smiled.

"She has to be an idiot if she thinks she is too good for you." Yura pouted.

"And you have to be one if you think you are good enough for me!" Inu Yasha dismissed. Yura pouted and walked to a corner to change, where she knew he could see her clearly. "Anyhow, I proceeded like always, and she was offended."

"Did you wait 'til after dinner to take her to your place?" Kagura yawned.

"She was offended that I would think of that on the first date!"

"Sounds like someone with self-respect…she isn't one of your regular groupies, is she?"

"No, she is a soon to be lawyer that for some strange reason doesn't seem to appreciate me touching her thighs."

"I wonder why?" Kagura asked sarcastically.

"Ops, I dropped my bra!" Yura exclaimed before making a big show about bending over. This all went unnoticed by the other youkais

"I don't get her…when I kiss her, I can tell she has as much passion underneath that proper exterior as me, and, my youkai can smell it in her arousal that she is going to be an animal in bed."

"But she makes you wait."

"Yes."

"I would never make you wait; I know how to treat my man." Yura smirked as she finished dressing in her tight short dress, her short hair bouncing behind her.

"And it's driving you crazy!" Kagura persisted.

"Yes."

"You keep thinking about her. In the middle of the night, you wake up in a cold sweat, knowing you just had a wet dream over a girl as if you were a mere teenager. Then, there are the brief touches between the two of you. Those hurt from pleasure, and when you get to kiss her, the whole world stops."

"How-how did you know?"

"You are a pampered rich kid, Inu. You have never been denied anything. The mere thought that there is something in this planet that you can't have is disturbing enough to cause an obsession."

"But he shouldn't be denied anything." Yura protested. "I wouldn't deny him anything." Yura blew him a kiss, and Inu Yasha looked at her with a quizzical look,

"You still here?"

"Yura, please save some face and go find that old man that pays your rent." Kagura dismissed the younger woman. The hair youkai grunted as she made her way out of the room. "Inu Yasha, other than the fact that you can't have this woman, is there anything about her that interests you?"

"She has an amazing body…her legs…"

"Save that kind of talk for your brother. If you are giving this girl a second glance, than she must be pretty. I was asking if you liked her personality." Kagura sighed.

"She's feisty!" Inu Yasha declared with a devious gleam in his eyes.

"Something a little deeper." Kagura wanted to smack him, but that would require too much effort, and Axel had reduced all her muscles to a relaxed rubber heap.

"She's loyal…her family comes before all else. She is very proper and dedicated to her work. She must be a great friend because they protect her viciously, and she is smart…she can tell me off like no one's business. I think she may be better than Fluffy at it."

"She sounds nice...She might even be able to survive in this family." Inu Yasha growled in response.

"Testy are we…could it be you are considering her for wifey?"

"I know that she's the one I need to claim my inheritance." Inu Yasha confirmed with his ears downcast.

"But you want more, don't you?"

"Keh, I don't need her."

"But it would be nice to be the center of devotion of a woman like her."

"Keh," the sadden hanyou didn't meet her gaze. "She would never go for a guy like me…"

"If you keep putting your hand up her skirt like you like to do, then she won't. But, if you changed your tactics…"

"Keh, who says I want to?"

"You want to get her into bed, don't you?"

"Yeah…"

"And you want to enjoy it to the maximum?"

"I want to make her go hoarse while screaming my name in pleasure." He confessed.

"Then you are going to have to get to know her."

"Huh?"

"Inu, have you ever had a better lover than me?"

"No." He answered honestly.

"Do you know why?"

"Because you are the best of the best?"

"No! Because we are friends. Inu, we are comfortable enough to truly enjoy ourselves. Don't you want her to completely trust you in the bedroom?"

"Yeah."

"Then, you need to treat her right. You need to earn her trust, and in turn, she needs to earn yours. That is the only way to truly conquer her heart."

"Keh, I just want her body! Why would I care about her heart?"

"Forgive me, Yasha. For a second I thought you wanted to keep her for the long haul."

"Keh, I don't…but, if I did, what would I have to do?" Kagura rolled her eyes.

Kagome sighed as she finished filing. The Moushi case was in effect again, and it involved extensive research. She normally didn't mind the work, but today, her mind had been distracted by a certain hanyou. He had left her so abruptly at the restaurant that she was beginning to worry that he would not return, not because she cared for him, but because deep down she knew he was the man that could help her fool her ji-chan. The phone rang. "Houshi and Son, Family Affairs, Kagome speaking, how may I help you?"

"You can agree to dinner and a movie tonight, my treat."

"Inu Yasha?" The surprise was evident in her voice. "You're not mad?"

"Keh! What time are you off?"

"Inu Yasha…I don't know if I can go out tonight. I like having dinner with my ji-chan and brother…"

"And I like having dinner with you, but this time I'm picking up the check."

"Inu Yasha…" Kagome sighed.

"And we'll go to the best ice cream shop in all of Japan for dessert." He tempted.

"Fine, but this is the last time I agree to go out with you last minute." She said sternly.

"We'll see if you don't change your mind by the end of the night." He chuckled before hanging up. "It's all set." He smiled at Kagura.

"Good. Now, I've told you all I can about what not to do. All that is left is for you to ask your brother about what you should do."

"Keh, why should I ask him?"

"Because, in his day, he was the toast of Japan's social scene, and he is walking this way." Inu Yasha turned and faced his brother.

"Inu Yasha. Kagura." He greeted formally.

"Mr. Takahashi." She replied coldly. "I was just leaving. I'll leave you two to your own devices." Before either could brother could protest, she had left the table. Sesshomaru took her now vacant seat.

"Did I interrupt?"

"No. Have you decided what to do about her?"

"She has become your woman in these past six years, and I neither take leftovers, nor my brother's claim." Inu Yasha's ears dropped in shame.

"I didn't know you had a claim…you always spoke of her as your sister."

"I don't blame you, Inu Yasha. I haven't in a long time. You were away at school; there was no way for you to know how things had changed."

"I no longer have a claim to her…she declined my bed. Neither of us want to continue that path, and this isn't feudal Japan. A woman's worth isn't determined by whose bed she's visited. It should only matter in which bed she stays."

"Are you trying to make amends, brother?"

Inu Yasha's ears perked up and a small smile crossed his face. "You haven't called me brother in a long time."

"For as long as you insist on calling me Fluffy." The other man admitted.

"Keh. What happened with Kagura…what I did…"

"How is that woman that had caught your attention?" Sesshomaru interrupted. The look in his eyes spoke volumes.

"I'm about to either lose her or mate her."

"Nani?"

"She isn't like the kind of woman I normally date…she demands respect, and I'm not sure how to treat a woman like that."

"That's your problem. You never bother to respect women."

"I'm taking her to dinner tonight, and I was thinking of going for dessert at Delectable's."

"Not many women can turn down ice cream from there. Dinner?"

"I was going to call Jasmine's for reservations."

"Too fancy."

"But I've done the casual thing…"

"Have you tried the hotdog stand?"

"What are you mumbling about?"

Inu Yasha waited at the lobby for Kagome to join him. She had told him she had a last minute appointment and would rush down afterwards. He had lost his black tie during his walk, and now, he leaned against the wall with the top two buttons of his crimson cotton shirt undone. He had released his hair from its usual confines, and when Kagome stepped out of the elevator, her lipstick worn away during the day, light grey dress falling three inches from her knee and the matching blazer only an inch longer, she could not help but smile at the appealing sight. She had her coat on the arm with her briefcase, and she pushed her hair behind her ear with her other one.

"You look comfortable." She teased.

"Keh." He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Kagome shot him a surprised look before smiling brighter and blushing slightly. He smirked, pleased with his effect on her. "You look exhausted."

"I am. That last meeting was as endless as it was pointless."

"Know the feeling." He smiled offering to take her briefcase, but she declined. Instead he helped her into her coat, letting his hands rest a little longer than necessary on her arms before pulling back. Again, Kagome eyed him. Was he sick?

"Was your day long, too?"

"No more than usual." He let her out the building, slipping his hand around hers. She blushed lightly and wondered what he was up to. They stopped at her car, where she dropped off her briefcase.

"You're quiet tonight."

"Just enjoying the company." He would never admit to being afraid of saying the wrong thing. They made it to the hotdog vender, and he asked her what she wanted. Kagome smiled and laughed full heartedly. Kami, how he loved that sound.

"Had I known this is what you had in mind for dinner, I wouldn't have hesitated. Maro, here, sells the best hotdogs in the whole city."

"The usual Miss Kagome?" The old short man with the happy thin face asked.

"Hai." She gladly took her two dogs with mustard and ketchup as Inu Yasha took his half a dozen. "You'll get sick from eating too many."

"It's one of the simple pleasures in life." He smiled. "The only thing better is Ramen."

"Men." She sighed.

"So, how is that case of yours going? The adoption agency, right?"

"Yeah, do you really care, or you just trying to make conversation?" She asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm interested."

"Who are you, and what have you done with my Inu Yasha?" Her companion smiled at her claiming.

"Keh."

"Sounds like you…why are you so nice all of the sudden?"

"You don't like it when I'm forward." Kagome pressed her hand against his forehead. "What?"

"You are being considerate…maybe you're possessed by a nice youkai…or one that is intent in ruining your reputation."

"Would you stop exaggerating, onna!" Inu Yasha growled.

"Can you blame me? You're acting like your polar opposite!"

"I thought that's what you wanted…look you made it pretty clear that you don't appreciate my charm, so I'm laying it back."

"Why?"

"Because I want to get you into bed." He replied honestly.

"I remember agreeing to pretend intimacy, not the real thing."

"Why pretend when we have real chemistry?" He sighed before proceeding. "Look, Kagome, I don't know about you, but I can't do two years of celibacy, and there is nothing wrong with helping each other relief some frustration in that time."

"What are you saying?"

"For the next two years, you are the only woman I am going to have eyes for; therefore, I wouldn't mind if you would help curb my sexual appetite. In return, I would satiate yours."

"I'm not ready to sleep with you."

"Doesn't have to be now. We have two years to get there, and on the way, there are three other bases we can visit, if you get my drift." He gave her his classic smirk.

"You are not going to be pushy?"

"Don't get me wrong, woman. I will still try to tempt you, but, if you are going to be my lover for a minimum of two years, I kind of want to know you a bit first…it's not like you'll be some one night stand that I will never have to see again."

"And what brought this dramatic change?"

"Keh…I will not allow any woman to believe she is out of my league. I can play any game you want." He challenged. So it was a matter of pride!

"Oh, I knew that to begin with. The question, Mr. Takahashi, is, 'can you win?'" She retorted.

"Just try and stop me." His lips captured hers in a passionate dispute. This was going to be interesting adventure.

Hey guys, Meche is sleeping, so she didn't get to correct this. This story is helping me unwind, I appreciate it. Someone asked me about the length…originally, I thought eight chapters, but since we are on chapter six, and they are still not married, I extended it to fourteen. Some of you were worried about the ban of NC 17 on fanfiction. If I do a lemon, first I will see how much is allowed in R for fanfiction.net, and then the extra stuff will only be posted on mediaminer.org. Don't worry, I won't leave out anything crucial to the plot, and those of you, who don't want lemon, don't have to read, but does who do, can.

Ten shower heads uncomfortable? I was going for that look like they had in that commercial were the two people are racing to see who will make it to the shower first…it was a commercial for faucets. Well, they are meant to massage pressure points, look really cool, and provided a nice shower. Oh, and they help in the citrus content later.

Drake220's comment deserved attention: Referring to Inu Yasha~> sexual pervert. the guy is so horny, you'd think he was a virgin.

In the sense he never made love to a woman, yeah, he is. In the sense he is been fucking anything in a skirt since he figured out how the parts fit, no. I'm rambling, and my eyes are closing…it's 4:10am, and I got double lab in…3 hrs 50min. GOODNIGHT!
