InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Ad ❯ Dinner at His Place ( Chapter 8 )

Ch. 8

Dinner at His Place

Kagome stared at her underwear drawer with dread. After a week of long hours, two all-nighters and bad hair days, Friday had arrived, and with it, her date with Inu Yasha. As if fate thought that her being totally exhausted wasn't funny enough, she stared at her vast collection of sports bras, lacy contraptions, just plain comfortable support and their respected lower garment trying to figure out which to wear. He had said, no strings attached, but she knew better. They were going to be at his apartment; he would have home front advantage, and was crafty enough to use it. She did not mind too much. After all, she was suffering the effects of the sexual frustration and tension as well. The question was, how far was she ready to go? Once that was decided, the underwear wouldn't be a problem.

"Let's do this logically Kagome. I am definitely not ready for sex…I mean I can't go from being with a guy for ten years, have no sex, and then fuck the first thing with a dick that comes my way. Besides, Inu Yasha Takahashi doesn't deserve it. He needs to learn that not all women are the same, and that he can't demand sex. Even if he has behaved wonderfully this week…it's just a show so he can get me into bed. So, no thongs.

"Third base? I couldn't even get comfortable enough with Hojo, what makes me think I can do that with Inu Yasha, who makes me five times more self-conscious…and twenty times hornier. What the fuck is my problem?" Kagome angrily kicked her dresser. "Hojo never made me feel this way…this alive when he touched me, and he had to be the nicest greatest guy in the whole wide world. He deserved so much better than our awkward intimacy…then here come Mr. Macho Asshole, and I am all over him, kissing him in ways that I never trusted myself to kiss Hojo…well lets face it, Hojo didn't like to kiss. If we ever kissed it was because it's my favorite part. Come to think about it, Hojo wasn't too comfortable with any form of intimacy. Was it me? Did I fail to turn him on? Inu Yasha definitely doesn't have that problem. They are like polar opposites.

"What am I doing with Inu Yasha Takahashi? He isn't my type of man. He is so forward and demanding…and would probably show me the best fuck of my life if I let him…though, Sango does believe that men like him tend to be making up for something else. Watch him have some problem with premature ejaculation, or something." Kagome laughed at the thought. "I doubt that man has anything wrong with that part of his anatomy, and I am not ready to find out. Second and third bases are out of the question, and with it, ultra low lacy panties."

"Do, I want to go to first base?" Kagome remembered the past three long nights she passed in the mists of sexual frustration. "It doesn't matter; my body would betray me. Let's face it. I'm more than curious what Mr. Takahashi is hiding underneath his shirt. So this is the first time he is going to see me…what bra? White is too pure, and the beige one is a little too conservative. I don't want him to get the wrong idea of me, and this is going to say a lot about my personality. I want him to know I am a free spirit with morals, so it's too soon for red…black!" She smiled as she spotted her favorite black and white bra. It was composed of black lace with double support, trimmed with white satin. She always liked how her breasts looked in it, and she dubbed it her lucky bra. She wore it on interviews, special dates, or just when she was feeling blue. "It isn't the newest or sexiest piece of underwear I own, but it's me, and comfort before all else."

Now dressed in her favorite matching underwear, she was ready to pick an outfit. She had had this one in mind all week, just because it was a level ten comfort. Her favorite pair of stretch jeans, which were molded to her body, with a button down black shirt that accentuated her waist without overexposing her breasts and matching black boots made the perfect combination for nice, but casual. She was very tempted to wear her flat shoes, but then realized she rather see him squirm. She put on her favorite boots and admired how much nicer her butt looked. "It's all about illusion." All that was left was to pick up dessert and drive over. "Kami, please help me." She prayed as she made her way downstairs.

"She wants me!" Inu Yasha's youkai side screamed as he showered.

"She didn't know what she was doing!" His human side reasoned.

"She wants me, and she wants me bad!" He retorted.

"She isn't a youkai, how was she supposed to know what she was doing. You are fooling yourself, if you believe anything else!"

"She wants me! She kissed me, demanded my submission, and then gave me her blood! She wants me!"

"She could just be a good kisser."

"She nipped my chin! She wants me! She fully initiated youkai courting! She wants to mate with me! She can't resist me! She wants me!"

"And you nipped her nose!"

"She wants me!"

"No, you want her! She was just trying to prove a point!"

"She wants me! She knows I'm the only male that could satisfy her!"

"She needs more than a good fuck. She needs romance and love. She needs a partner."

"She wants me, and I will turn her into my bitch!" It growled back.

"Just like you to completely ignore her better qualities. Why dominate her in the bedroom, when you can turn her into a life partner?"

"She wants me!"

"Shut up!" Inu Yasha growled as he tried to control his stirring blood. On the full moon, his youkai blood would boil to the surface and try to take over, like his human did during the new moon. It usually wasn't this bad, as both sides fought for dominance, but Kagome Higurashi seemed to violently provoke both his sides. "At least they agree on something." Inu Yasha sighed as he got dressed. He went straight for his favorite pair of jeans and a button down red shirt he left half unbutton. "No sense in depriving her some eye candy."

He looked at his shaggy hair before putting a brush through it, not that he would bother with anything else. This was his house, and he wanted to be comfortable, though Kami knew, she could make him feel quite differently. "Maybe I should have chosen a looser pair of jeans." He smirked wondering if little Inu would finally get some exercise tonight. "That woman can't resist me forever."

"She wants me!" His youkai side growled. "She wants to be protected, dominated, seduced. She wants hard fucks and nights full of wild rutting, and you know you want to give it to her."

"Stupid demon! She wants nothing of the sort. She wants to be wined and danced…courted. She wants someone to make her feel pretty, smart and loved. And you know you want the attention she would give her man. You know you want to feel what it would be like to have her surrender her complete soul to your trust."

"Of course he does, and she will, when she is lying beneath him convulsing with pleasure."

"Stop it!" Inu Yasha growled. "Why her?"

"Why her what, Inu Yasha?" The hanyou turned to the old miko standing by his door.

"Is the food ready?"

"Just about…what were ye rambling about?"

"Nothing."

"Are they causing ye trouble tonight? The moon is pretty visible." She remarked as she approached the young man and placed a soothing hand on his forehead, her magic forcing his youkai back, balancing his two bloods.

"Hai."

"Ye seemed tired, Inu Yasha. What burdens thy weary mind?"

"None of your business, old hag!" She gave him a disapproving look before leaving the room. He fallowed her to the kitchen. "What did you make?"

"Oden." She answered. "What is her name?"

"Keh."

"Inu Yasha, put thy pride to rest. She should be arriving soon, and if ye want to keep that youkai from taking over, ye better make piece with it."

"Keh!"

"Fine, Inu Yasha, remain torn, but when ye turn in front of her, do not be angry if she is scared away…that is, if he will let her get away."

"Higurashi…Kagome Higurashi."

"Ah, from the Higurashi Shrine…Her family has a good reputation among the religious community. Her Shrine contains the God's tree where the hanyou and the miko defeated the great evil with the use of the Shikon no Tama and forged a new life together."

"The Shikon no what?"

"Shikon no Tama…don't ye know thy history? The jewel of great power that was used to defeat a great evil. The couple wanted to use it so the hanyou could turn human, but evil interfered…in the end, she accepted him as he was, and he as she was. After that, youkai slowly integrated among humans…have her tell ye the full story."

"Oh that Tama…"

"Inu Yasha," she turned to him in an almost motherly manner, "has she cast a spell on ye?" She smiled when he blushed.

"I'm attracted to her…it's…it's not lo-love." He stammered.

"What does thy youkai want?"

"A good rutting session."

"Is that all?"

"No…"

"He wants to lay his claim."

"Hai."

"And what does your human blood want?"

"To court her…to gain her acceptance."

"When ye manage to find a balance between the two, she will be thy woman."

"Huh, now what are you mumbling woman?"

She turned and lowered the flame. "Ye will understand in time, but now I must finish those reports ye asked for Monday. Would it be wrong to assume ye will not need my services in the morning?"

"No. Take the whole weekend off." The miko looked at him in surprised and smile.

"I like her effect on ye." She opened the door to find a young woman ready to knock. "My timing is still impeccable. Ye must be Kagome. I am Kaede." Kagome smiled and bowed politely.

"Hai, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Kaede was just leaving." Inu Yasha interrupted, and the old woman gave him a disapproving looked as she examined the young woman in front of her.

"Yes, she will do…" The older miko thought.

"Let me guess, you are afraid I will find out that you didn't actually cook." Kagome smiled as she teased the hanyou. He just kehed in response.

"Yes, she will do very nicely." Kaede smiled before she left the two.

Inu Yasha gave Kagome a quick peck on the lips as he surveyed her outfit and approved. He let her into the kitchen, and she broke the silence,

"I brought dessert."

"I can see." He smiled while looking at his favorite part of her anatomy.

"Watch it boy, or I'll send you to bed without dinner."

"Will you be joining me?" He raised an eyebrow. It was so easy to tease her, but the look she gave him told him he was treading on dangerous ground. She walked around the spacious bright modern kitchen, which contrasted quite well with the rest of the apartment. From what she had seen, the penthouse had brick mostly bare walls with little furniture, though it looked chic, not barren. The kitchen was bright with a white candlelit table set for two by one of the walls. It seemed a bit narrow, but the space was well utilized, especially for someone who probably didn't cook much. "So what did you bring?"

"I wasn't sure what you would like, so I brought strawberries with homemade whipped cream." She smiled giving him the dish to put in the fridge.

"Were they out of peaches?"

Kagome took an apple from a near-by fruit bowl and threw it at his head. He caught it and laughed,

"Kagome, you should know better than spoiling your appetite with fruit just before dinner."

"I'm not in the mood for your humor, Inu Yasha." She replied crossly. He eyed her carefully as she tried to hide a yawn.

"Am I boring you that much?"

"Huh, oh, no…I'm sorry, but I haven't slept in two nights, and I'm just bombarded at work…I guess I'm a little cranky." She tried to smile.

"Is it that Moushi case?" She looked at him in surprise.

"You were listening?"

"Keh, you were talking."

"Well, you were a bit preoccupied trying to get your hand under my skirt."

"I was, but I also know how to multi-task."

"It's a bitch of a case, and there are so many problems…but I don't want to bore you."

"You aren't." He brought the pot of oden to the table and Kagome smiled.

"My favorite." Inu Yasha made a mental note to give Kaede a raise. He served her some before serving himself.

"So, what's the big deal with this case?"

"The politics involved. This would normally be an open and shut case, but too many politicians are involved. Amanda Hayes was adopted by Japanese American parents twenty years ago form the Moushi House for Lost Children. After she found out she was adopted, she started to research her past trying to find her roots. She wants the identity of the family line she came from so she can learn of her ancestral roots. Usually, part of her request could be supplied, but Moushi offered complete confidentiality to the parent. Since this is an international case, it would normally be very easy to railroad her and tell her she doesn't have any rights, but a local politician up for re-election backing her. Moushi is afraid that if they break their confidentiality agreement, other parents will be afraid to use their services, and to make matters worse, the biological mother is going out of her way to put more pressure on the orphanage to keep her identity hidden, threatening to cut their federal funding."

"How can she do such a thing? Would you like more wine?"

She nodded as he poured. "Let's just say the woman is the wife of a powerful politician, who had an indiscretion during her youth."

"So, now, she is going out of her way to cover it up."

"Or risk ruining her husband's career."

"So, what is your stand in this case?" He asked before sipping his own wine.

"To protect the Moushi House…a scandal like this could ruin them, and then all those children would be left homeless."

"Are you always there to protect the children?"

"Someone has to look out for them. How about you? How's work?"

"Same old take over one company…cause another one to bankrupt." He took a bite of his food as he spoke.

"Sounds like fun." She replied sarcastically.

"I'm in charge of new technologies." He began explaining. "My job is to find new areas to diversify the company's products, and to do so, I need to either take over the competition because they know how to do it the best, or I need to get rid of them."

"What are you working on now?"

"Keeping my brother out of the courtroom…we have successfully taken over a few markets, and it seems we have little to no competition, which should be good."

"Monopoly laws." She replied as she took another sip of her wine.

"Exactly, so right now, I need to leave at least one decent competitor in each new area we delve into."

"That seems fair." She said as she took a bite of the delicious food.

"It isn't. It makes no sense to help my enemy."

"Think of them as the rival team. If you don't have them to beat, how will you prove you do it better?"

"I guess you're right." He smiled. "So, did you always want to be a lawyer?"

"Since I was five and I manage to talk myself out of being grounded for eating ice cream for breakfast. My father just turned to my mother and said, 'How can I argue with that? She's a born lawyer.'" There was a sad smile on her face.

"You miss them?"

"Hai. I hardly remember them anymore…I mean, I have pictures and I do remember some things, but their scent, the sound of my father's slippers as he walked early in the morning to get the morning paper, the sound of my mother making breakfast…"

"How old were you when they…"

"Eight."

"I was five when my mother died." He hadn't registered the words until they had left his mouth. "All I remember…really remember was that she smelled like lavender when she hugged me."

"I'm sorry."

"Keh."

"Look at us." Kagome laughed. "We sure know how to animate a room!"

"Told you we made a good couple."

"You are good for nothing bastard." Kagura declared as she entered the dining room of the Western Mansion.

"Kagura, we don't appreciate that kind of language at the dinner table." Sesshomaru replied while taking a drink from his sake.

"You couldn't wait until Monday for these papers…you couldn't send a currier earlier in the day to my office?"

"I didn't realize you were the only one with a copy until closing time. It wasn't my fault you didn't get the message until now."

"Kagura, since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner?" Rin begged. "Dad and Jaken have been talking business all night. I'm going to go crazy if I don't get something…anything livelier." Kagura smiled as she turned to the young girl sitting at the left of the Lord and the green youkai next to her.

"I can't. If I run now, I might even make it to my date."

"You didn't cancel?" She asked disappointed.

"Hai, but I might be able to un-cancel." She replied before leaving. "Besides, I wouldn't want to interrupt."

"Nonsense," Sesshomaru began, "I made you miss your date; the least I could do is offer you dinner." He motioned lightly, and the maid put another place setting to the right of her master. Kagura felt awkward. The maid was probably just trying to conserve space, but she knew the significance of that seat when she hesitantly took it. It was the place reserved for the Lord's wife.

"How was practice, Rin? Are you ready for tomorrow?"

"Hai. You still coming?"

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." The young youkai replied with a light smile on her face. She truly loved Rin like a daughter. After all, Rin was exactly how Kagura had imagined her daughter with Sesshomaru to be: gracefully beautiful with her free heart. This girl had been a way for Kagura to cope with the loss of the man she loved, after all, where better to channel all that love than towards his daughter. "I spoke with Madam Marie yesterday. She truly misses you in her class, and she was wondering if you would like to go back and give classes to some of the younger girls."

"That sounds like fun…can I daddy?"

"Do you think you can handle school, field hokey and all those shopping springs on top of teaching ballet?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I don't shop that much!"

"You've been shoe shopping every day this week, and you bought anything but shoes."

"Those were presents."

"It's obvious, Sesshomaru, that you don't understand the basic concept of shoe shopping." Kagura teased before turning back to Rin. "I can take you Wednesday, if you want. I know a new place with very comfortable Italian shoes."

"What is it with women and shoes?" Sesshomaru asked.

"What is it with men and cars?" She retorted.

"Point taken." The conversation continued in more amiable terms as the Western Lord's mansion experienced something it hadn't in six years: a truly happy family dinner.

Kagome laughed as she finished her third glass of wine. "How is it you never got caught?"

"I was lucky." Inu Yasha smiled.

"Kami, if I ever even tried to stay out five minutes after curfew, I always was caught." She smiled realizing how much fun she had had with the hanyou. It was nice to just sit there and talk, without sexual innuendos…well, minimal innuendos and very natural flirting.

"It's been three hours!" Inu Yasha exclaimed surprised.

"Hai, and if we don't eat that whipped cream soon, it's going to go flat." Kagome reprimanded.

"Then, let's take dessert into the living room, or we'll never watch a movie tonight."

"I'm beginning to think we weren't meant to watch movies together." She replied clearing the table as he got the dessert from the fridge.

"Leave that. I'll do it in the morning." He smiled as he let her to the living room, where the soft white carpet cushioned their feet. He had pushed back the overstuffed leather sofa and placed a blanket with pillows in front of the television.

"Why do I have the feeling you were trying to seduce me tonight?" Kagome teased.

"Actually," Inu Yasha pressed a button on the remote and the television became a simulated fireplace, "I was, but, now I know better." He turned it off.

"You would have known sooner if you weren't always so busy saying the wrong thing."

"Well," he teased back, "you could always keep my mouth busy."

"Ok." The girls stuffed an overgrown strawberry into her companion's mouth. She couldn't help but laugh at his surprised look. He gave her a smirk before taking a whipped cream covered finger and painted a line against her right cheek. She yelped before taking some herself and throwing it at his face.

"You really think you can get away with that?"

The young miko squealed as he chased her around the room with the whipped cream. She managed to dock some of his throws, but before she knew it, she was laughed so hard that he easily knocked her onto the soft blanket. She was glowing. On instinct, he licked the whipped cream from her cheek. She blushed lightly before licking his lips in return. He growled appreciatively as he took a possessive control of the kiss, pushing her onto her back while straddling her lips. He was glad to feel her arms wrap around his neck in between their tongue wars. "Inu Yasha," she gasped as he began to pay homage to her neck. She was below him, moaning in pleasure as he was memorizing her taste and texture.

"Kami, yes!" Inu Yasha cheered silently.

"Inu Yasha…slow down." She begged when she felt little Inu brush against her.

"Kami, no!" He groaned. Burying his face on the crook of her neck, he asked, "How far?"

"Huh?"

"Please Kagome…I need to know. How far until you tell me to stop?" He was having a hard time keeping his youkai side under control.

"Nothing below the waist." She replied.

"So anything above the waist goes?"

"More or less." She didn't finish before Inu Yasha was kissing her lips. With his limits set, he had a bit more control. He moved his hands to tug at her shirt, and before he could rip it, Kagome stopped him. "Unbutton it! Don't forget I need to wear something home!" She complained as she placed her hands above him and forced him to work each button at a time. He trailed kisses from her neck down her newly revealed flesh before pulling her to a sitting position to better removed the garment.

Kagome didn't waste time herself. If he was going to get her topless, then she was going to get him topless. She licked the bit of whipped cream that had fallen down his neck before taking hesitant nips at the chest that was already revealed while unbuttoning the rest of the shirt. She could feel Inu Yasha struggling with the straps of her bra before they suddenly came undone. She was a bit embarrassed that he was seeing her topless, but all thoughts went out the window, when she felt his hot tongue on her exposed flesh.

"Mine," Inu Yasha growled as he kneed one breast in a seductively possessive manner while he suckled on the other one. Kagome's shocked gasps and moans where making it harder and harder for little Inu to fit in the tight confines of the jeans, but Inu Yasha wasn't about violate the little trust she'd given him.

Her hands on his body were unsure, but they sent fire through his system. Capturing her lips again, he pulled her closer to him, enjoying the feel of her breasts against his hot chest. She didn't seem phased by his arousal, in fact, she subconsciously rocked against it. Inu Yasha was lost. That bit of pressure added an increasing need for release. He flipped her to the ground once again before noticeably rocking against her. She moaned, but didn't complain. Inhaling her scent, he began to tease her nipples as he rocked against her. He knew he was rushing things, but he was about to have an accident in his pants and he wanted to bring her some relief as well. "I'll make it up to her next time." He thought as he nipped one of her nipples while grinding with her. She stiffened and moaned, confused by the sparkling white lights that blurred her vision. Inu growled as he let go. Rolling them over so she could rest on top of him, Inu Yasha took a deep breath, surprised at how enjoyable the action had been. Kagome breathing became deep and steady and when he motioned to stand up, she moaned in regret.

He carried her towards his room and laid her on the bed. He knew that most nights, this would only be the beginning, but she was exhausted. Grabbing an old t-shirt, he gave it to her and explained, "Take a nap. I'm going to shower."

"I can't get home too late. Ji-chan might notice and get worried."

"It's only eleven thirty. Sleep, if you leave now, you will fall asleep behind the wheel. I'll wake you up when I'm done. She yawned as she put on the garment, which fit her like a short baggy dress. When she saw he was in the shower, she kicked off her jeans and crawled under the covers. A short nap sounded good.

<><><><><><><><><&g t;<><><><>

Inu Yasha finished taking care of little Inu as he noticed that her smell had managed to permeate into the bathroom. He was happing to find that its effects were soothing. He jumped out of the cold water and quickly dried before putting on his favorite pair of grey sweats. He smiled thinking, "Kagome is in my bed, wearing my shirt…granted, I would rather her naked, but still."

Male pride rushed to his groin when he saw the object of his desire lost in a sea of white sheets and comforter. He crawled by her side and whispered her name. She groaned in response. "Babes, you wanted to wake up."

"A little longer…please." She mumbled as she turned towards him, her eyes still shut. He smiled.

"Hun, you can stay all night if you want." He offered surprised to find that he had no sexual innuendoes attached. The thought of Kagome driving while so tired scared him.

"No, just ten more minutes." She still couldn't open her eyes. Inu Yasha's ear moved. Had he just heard a cell phone vibrate? In her sleep Kagome had snuggled up next to him.

"Oh well, if it's important, they'll leave a message." He thought as he slipped underneath the covers to join her. He pulled her around carefully so he could spoon her, when a wicked smirked crossed his lips. His hands rested on her bare hip. This would be the best nap of his adult life.

I was feeling sick, so I stayed at school an extra day and Meche conned me into writing this chapter. I wasn't going to end it here, but I'm half asleep, and it's 17 pages long. I'm going to bed. Thank you so much for the almost 300 reviews. You guys are awesome. I love you all!
