The Beach House
Chapter Two: Get Closer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome was still in bed and daydreamed about the slow dance she shared with InuYasha last night. The DJ played an oldie-but-goodie: Seals & Croft's Get Closer. Kagome loved that song. She grew up watching her parents slow dance to it; it was their song.

"Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to love, love only you
Then love only me
Darling if you want me to see, see only you
Then see only me"

She was in a conversation with Hiten, Botan and Serina about what, she couldn't even remember now. She quickly scanned the room. InuYasha was laughing and surrounded by some very pretty girls, all of whom she didn't know. "Who are these people in my house?"

She crossed the room in determination, "He's mine… Whoa, where did that come from?" He caught her gaze when she was a few feet away. She possessively claimed him. Boldly, she grabbed his hand, not caring if it was rude, and led him to the dance floor. He had an arrogant smirk fighting to take over his mouth and took her into his arms. She melted against him and pulled his head to hers, she ran her hands through his glorious silver mane to settle behind his neck.

Against her ear, he whispered, "Thanks for saving me."

She smiled and breathed into his ear, "Anytime. This is one of my favorites songs. I wanted to share it with you." "And maybe, just you'll take the lyrics to heart…" She felt him slightly tremble against her words.

She nuzzled into his hair and inhaled his scent. He smelled like the forest after a rain, fresh and clean, something almost wild. His mouth found the juncture of her neck and shoulders; he kissed and nipped it, driving her crazy with his warm, wet tongue. Slowly, he moved up her neck. His kisses further pushed her into heaven. "Gods! He can do this… this to me… with just kisses?"

She sighed, "The song ended entirely too soon…" Once again, she heard muffled voices coming from the kitchen. "I don't know if I like having my room right by the kitchen…"

"YOU ARE SUCH A PERV!"

SMACK

Kagome shook her head. "Time to wake up." She kicked off the bed sheet and made her way into the kitchen.

"Ah, Kagome. Good morning," Miroku greeted her warmly and gingerly placed a hand on the small of her back as he placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

She grunted her response and blindly went for the coffee pot. She mumbled, "Mug. Cup. Need."

Sango was leaning against a counter, turned and a hand reached in the cabinet to get a mug. She wore a pair of black cropped drawstring cargo pants, an baby blue tank top and black flip flops. Instead of handing the mug to her still half-asleep roommate, she made her a cup and placed it in Kagome's hands.

Kagome took a long sip and sighed. "Mmm… thanks." A smile landed on her full lips.

"Ah, the Goddess awakens," said a masculine voice coming from her right. Kagome lifted her gaze from the strong brew to the direction of the voice. She was greeted with a tender smile from InuYasha as he leaned on the counter next to the fridge.

She took another sip as her eyes swept over his body. He was wearing a pair of plaid boxers shorts - that was it. Her breath caught at the revelation. He was in incredible shape. "Not an ounce of fat on him." His chest was sculpted, every muscle defined. "The Gods have smiled on me today." His legs were long and lean with the barest layer of silver hair on them. His silver hair fell perfectly in place.

Shippou was sitting at the dining table reading the paper. "K-Girl, Houjo called for you earlier," he said, not lifting his eyes from whatever article he was reading, completely engrossed. He was still in his pajamas: A pair of yellow Sponge Bob Square Pants bottoms and a plain white t-shirt, feet bare. His red hair was matted on one side and stuck straight out on the other.

"Mmm… thanks."

"… Yeah, sure. I'll ask her. See ya…" Arimi's voice drifted in to the warm kitchen. Her bright smile lit up the already bright room. Murmured greetings welcomed her. "Gods, K-Girl, no one should look that good first thing in the morning." She said derisively, her own appearance was disheveled at best. Her short hair sticking up in every possible direction, except for the back where it was matted and clung to her scalp… obviously this girl slept on her back.

InuYasha had to agree with her assessment. Kagome truly looked like a goddess, despite still being half-asleep. Her long hair was lightly tousled and hung softly down her back, her skin glowed and he loved her pajamas: A pair of purple cropped bottoms with multi-colored polka dots slung low on her hips and a white baby doll t-shirt hugged her breasts. "Mmm, nice tits…"

"Oh, before I forget," Arimi started as she poured herself a cup of coffee. "That was Hiten. He wanted to know if you got a local cell number yet."

The house phone rang. Shippou answered, still not looking away from the newspaper, "Hello… Yeah, she is… Hang on… Kagome, it's Nobunga." His hand extended with the cordless phone.

Miroku laughed softly, "She's barely here a day and her harem is already calling."

InuYasha simply watched her as she moved across the distance to Shippou and took the call, "Hey… can I call you back? I just woke up… yeah, maybe lunch… I'll let you know. Bye."

Sango rolled her eyes, "K-Girl, we need to get you a boyfriend so you don't have to fend off the army of lonely guys."

"Boyfriends are more trouble than they're worth," Ayame said bitterly as she entered the kitchen. Six concerned eyes landed on the auburn beauty dressed in jean shorts, a black t-shirt that said "100% BITCH" and the current house favorite: Black flip flops.

"What has you saying that? I thought you and Koga were tight,"Arimi frowned.

Ayame opened the fridge and pulled out a Dr. Pepper. She growled, "Arggh…." She opened the can with a hiss and took a long drink. "Did you see him last night? Fucking Kagura. Fucking bitch was blowing sunshine up his ass all fucking night. And he just smiled and sucked it up, pretty much ignoring me."

"Oh, Hot Stuff, you can't take that chick seriously. She's so full of hot air." Sango did her best to console their friend and wrapped her arm around her shoulder. The others nodded in agreement.

"Here's the thing," Kagome began. She leaned against the dining table and took another sip from her mug. "Every guy, single or otherwise, is flattered with attention from a pretty girl, no matter who the girl is. You can't take it personally. That's just how guys are."

"I wouldn't give Kagura the time of day," huffed Shippou as he shuffled the paper for yet another interesting article.

Kagome didn't acknowledge his retort. "Look, Hot Stuff. It's pretty simple: Koga will be with the woman he loves, no matter what you do or don't do. Remember what every mother says to her child, `just be yourself' and he'll love you. No need to freak."

"Well, I want to be the ONLY one he loves," Ayame responded miserably.

Sango sighed, "This is going nowhere fast." She said with a toothy grin, "How about I take you to Marix for an early Margarita and boy watching?"

Ayame's face brighten, "Oooh, tequila and boys!"

"You guys, it's barely noon…" Arimi rolled her eyes and reprimanded the girls.

Kagome chimed in, "I want to come and boy watch!"

"Sure," Sango smiled. "How long will it take you to get ready?"

"Ten minutes. Wait for me!"

She rushed past her roommates only to freeze at InuYasha's response. "Yeah, right. No chick can get ready in ten minutes." He had a look of disbelief and a bit of disappointment, "What am I? Chopped liver… she can stay here and watch me…"

"Wanna bet?" Kagome challenged.

InuYasha took the bait, "Yeah, twenty bucks says you don't meet the ten minute mark."

"You're on!" She sang and ran to her bedroom.

Sure enough, she sashayed out in nine minutes flat. "First round is on InuYasha. Pay up, buddy."

InuYasha was leaning on the same spot of the counter before she left and glanced at the clock on the wall and turned his amber eyes to check her out, "Holy shit…" She wore a white denim skirt that hung low on her hips, exposing the soft curve of her abdomen, a tight fitting pink t-shirt that had white hibiscus flowers across her full chest and chunky heeled black flip flops, with pink flower sequences across the top. Her hair was swept up in a messy twist, a few strands fell out framing her face.

"Cool, glad we can count on you for being a quick change artist," Ayame snorted, her mood remained dark.

Kagome flashed her a smile, "C'mon, Hot Stuff, let's roll."

InuYasha returned from his room, stood right behind her, as he wound an arm around her waist with a twenty dollar bill standing up between two fingers. He whispered in her ear, "Don't make me too jealous, love."

Kagome felt the heat from his body, closed her eyes briefly and nearly swooned. His breath on her ear was hot and inviting. Instinctively, she leaned back, and softly moaned, "Mmm..." He relished the feel of her body against his bare chest and fought every urge to wrap his arms around her and take her right there in front of all their friends.

She quickly regained her composure and snagged the cash. She turned around and placed a tender kiss on his cheek, "Thanks."

Miroku leered, "Forget the bar, maybe you should stay and just watch Yash." The guys exchanged a knowing look.

"Oh, whatever, Monk," Sango dismissed him, the moment went undetected by the tall girl. "C'mon you guys, I'll drive."
