InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Girl and the Band ❯ All's Fair in Love and War ( Chapter 11 )

A/N: Ahh, a new chapter. I asked and you responded. It was very close, but the majority wants to keep it the way it is with the relationships. Sorry for those who wanted more Sango/Miroku. They will get together and have their fluff, but were going to stay focused on Inu/Kag. To clear things up, Inuyasha is an attractive boy with long silver hair and golden amber eyes. He doesn't have ears or claws…yet. That will come up later, so don't worry now. Anyway, on with the fic…

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. *sigh*

Note: The CD version of 112's Peaches and Cream is different that the lyrics on the site. So I put what I found on the site up and the sung lyrics in parenthesis next to the words they replace. Just so you know.

All's Fair in Love and War

After getting skates, the four walked over to the round benches to put them on. Inuyasha and Miroku both had blades while Sango and Kagome were on four wheels. Kagome sat quietly pulling on her skates. She was rather stunned. The whole Inuyasha thing was relatively startling. She had never had that happen before. All of her friends talked about being hit on all the time, but Kagome had never before experienced that, except with Inuyasha.

He had apparently known what he was doing, and if it hadn't been for her sappy romance novels, she would have been very lost. Not that she truly knew what she was doing. A book couldn't teach her how to be an expert at sexual advances; only experience could that. But at least her knowledge of anatomy was extensive enough to guide her in what she hoped was a good move. Just because she had know what she had been…'cupping', didn't mean she knew how to do it.

She shook her head violently, irritated at the focus of her thoughts. 'It was one kiss Kagome. A very deep and heated kiss, but it was just a kiss…and some touching, and moaning…argg. Get a grip.' She really needed to sort out her feelings, she knew she like Inuyasha, but she wasn't sure just how far her passion went. And she was contemplating whether or not the word 'like' truly described the world of emotions she was filled with.

Miroku watched as Kagome stared in the distance her eyes glazed, a small smile on her face. "Kagome, what are you thinking about. You have a goofy smile on your face and your very red. Are you okay?" Miroku smiled slyly when she snapped out of her daydreaming, devastated at being caught fantasizing.

Miroku chuckle as Sango glared at him again. Inuyasha watched the whole exchange with growing suspicion. He knew Miroku to well. 'Hey, wait a minute…' He reached over and grabbed Miroku's shirt, wrapping his fingers around the collar as he dragged the startled boy off, the girls watching with confusion.

When he had marched a fair distance he turned around, pulling Miroku's face up to his. "How much do you know?"

"My friend," smiled Miroku, "Don't you mean, how much did I see?"

Miroku laughed as Inuyasha threw him down and put his arms over his chest. "Keh, stupid lecher."

"Oh I'm the lecher. Really, well I didn't wrap Kagome's legs around me did I? And I didn't make out with her behind a gaming machine in a skating rink, did I?"

"You're just making it worse for yourself." Inuyasha advanced slowly, growling.

"But it was definitely worth it."

"I'll bet." Inuyasha gave Miroku a swift punch over his head, not intended to hurt as much as shut him up and teach him the penalties of spying. "If it was anyone but you, I would kick your ass."

"What are friends for? Who else is gonna embarrass the heck out of you, black mail you for all your worth and then laugh cause they know there won't be any severe punishment."

Inuyasha cracked his knuckles slowly, "On second thought…"

Miroku laughed as he ran off. He hid himself behind Sango. "Sango my darling, Inuyasha wants to kill me."

"You probably deserve it. And if you touch me, I will kill you." Before he could reply she shoved him out of her way and turned to Kagome. "Okay, shall we then." Kagome looked up to Sango, who winked at her as she struggled her way over to the edge of the rink.

Kagome smirked, then set her face in a mask of concentration as she also lifted herself and skated skittishly along the carpet, her arms flailing about her for balance.

Inuyasha and Miroku watched the show with skepticism. "Oh Sango, are you sure you're okay, you don't need help?"

"Oh no, I'm really good, so is Kagome. Look."

They looked over to Kagome as she slowly skated the short distance to Sango, both cheering when she made it. "Oh yeah, she's headed for the pros," whispered Inuyasha as he and Miroku laughed.

"Ready?" Sango whispered through a smile.

"Time for the fun to begin."

"Lets knock their socks off."

"Show them what they're up against."

"You got it."

"Lets go."

They both grinned at each other and jumped out onto the crowded rink, their clumsiness and seeming inexperience long gone. They both skated next to each other, swerving around others as they picked up speed. Their favorite song came on, a dance hit, and they laughed together. Each was very proud of the others abilities and soon the boys were forgotten as the fun and the need to test the other took hold. They spun around, skating backwards. Sango wrapped around a large group, cutting a sharp turn. Kagome ducked under arms and weaved in and out, her hips swaying as she lost herself to the movement and the song's rhythm. They skated to the vacant middle to test tricks. Kagome skidded to a halt and Sango stopped, twirling herself around. Kagome skated in a wide circle jumping in the air and spinning two revolutions to land skating backwards. Sango ducked down, grabbing her leg and skating on one foot. They grabbed each other's hands and spun around. One girl would duck, the other would drag, and then they would switch positions. They continued to laugh unaware that every eye was trained to them.

The boys stood off the rink aghast. They both had their eyes widened and their jaws hanging open. Inuyasha shook his head as they both came out of their trance. "Okay then," he smiled, "Looks like we got ourselves a challenge."

"Mmm…shall we my friend?"

"You know it."

The boys jumped out onto the rink, in pursuit of the girls. Although, they were incapable of tricks, they knew they had speed. They skated to the middle, aware that everyone was watching the two giggling children.

"You two about done?"

Kagome and Sango stopped laughing to see Inuyasha and Miroku both flashing identical images of male superiority. "How do they do that?" whispered Kagome.

"You mean look high and mighty 24/7. I don't know; it's a guy thing."

Kagome sighed lovingly, peering around to see if any of the boys present matched the attractiveness and high and mightiness of their two. Nope. "I think it's an Inuyasha and Miroku thing."

"Maybe so. Hey Kagome, everyone is looking at us."

"Why do you think that is?"

"I have no idea." They both looked around seriously, unaware that there abilities had caused a commotion.

"Okay girlies, so, you ready to skate, or do you feel like standing there?"

Kagome skated up to Inuyasha. "We make the rules. How good are you two?"

"Very."

"We'll see."

A whistle blew from the side of the rink. "Hey, people. You dimwits, you can't just stop skating, get moving." Apparently the staff was not happy with everyone standing around. The guy was making his way through the crowd. "What are all you idiots staring at anyway…Whoa!"

The boy had broken his way through. Kagome tilted her head as she examined him. He was tall, with long legs and a strong build. He had brown hair up in a high ponytail and large eyes. He was attractive as far as boys go. To properly sum up his appearance, the guy looked like he was made for speed. No wonder he was on the skating staff.

Inuyasha looked him up and down. The guy looked like an asshole. Inuyasha felt a growl begin in his throat. It wasn't that he would necessarily have hated the guy on the spot under another circumstances, but in this case he did. He had pushed his way through the crowd, screaming orders at the top of his lungs, and had cut off when he had seen Kagome. And that stupid bitch didn't seem to realize that he was staring at her, while she herself looked him over.

The look that guy was giving Kagome was pissing him off. 'Who the fuck does he think he is?'

The other skaters shrugged and continued around the rink as the five remained in the middle. The boy regained his composure and briskly skated over to Kagome. "Hi there."

Kagome snapped out of her daze and looked at the boy in front of her. "Hi."

"Names Kouga. What have we here." He slowly circled her like a vulture. "You're a cute little thing, aren't you?"

"Um…mines Kagome." She followed him with her eyes. 'This guy is creeping me out.'

"Wonder if you're any good at skating."

Kagome foolishly rose to the challenge. "Of course I am." She skated around him quickly, turning to stop in front of him.

"Mmm, pretty good."

"Humph, better than good, I'm great." Kagome folded her arms over her chest. 'Good God, since when did I start acting like Inuyasha?'

"And you've got fire. Perfect." He reached out and grabbed her around the middle, swiftly crushing her against him. "What do you say to being my woman?"

"You what…?" Kagome sputtered. 'Who the hell is this guy. And where the HELL is Inuyasha'

Little did she know, Inuyasha had been standing off to the side with Sango and Miroku where the two had pulled him while the boy had been talking to Kagome, his face darkening as he watched the idiot converse with her. Miroku and Sango also watched the two talking, as well as their aggravated friend.

Sango turned her head to Miroku, her eyes never leaving Inuyasha. "He's got it bad."

Miroku nodded his head in understanding, sitting himself down to watch the proceedings. Inuyasha was holding on to his control by a thread. It was bad enough the boy was talking to her with that look in his eyes. But if he touched her, Inuyasha would not be able to contain his actions.

As if Miroku's thoughts were the signal, the boy pulled Kagome into a tight embrace. He was muttering something again, Kagome looked extremely startled, and Inuyasha was gone. 'Since when had he become so protective of her?'

"I believe your right Sango, he has it very bad."

'I don't believe it! The fucking nerve of that asshole! How dare her touch her. What the fuck is he thinking. I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna rip his fucking arms off. That bastard!' Inuyasha stomped, as best he could in skates, over the rink to where that…thing was trapping Kagome in his nasty embrace.

Kagome pulled back slightly, "Um, I'm sorry. But I am not interested, could you let me go?"

The boy just smiled and pulled her closer, if possible. Kagome struggled more, turning her body to twist out of his embrace like she had Inuyasha. But it wasn't working. 'This worked to get away from Inuyasha, why won't it…work…Hey! Did that bastard let me think I was fast? He did it on purpose! Why that mangy little puppy…'

She looked around and found Inuyasha. His was skating towards them, and he didn't look happy. 'He actually looks pissed. Really pissed. Why is he mad?'

She received an answer two seconds later when he reached them. He was pissed that Kouga was holding her. It was rather like a blur. She hadn't seen or felt it happen. One second she's pressed up to creepy Kouga and next she's in the protective safety of Inuyasha's arms. She didn't think humans could be capable of such speed. And now…was he growling? She could feel it vibrate through her, strangely calming to her while she knew it must have sounded very threatening to everyone else.

She leaned into him. When had she started calling for him to help her like that? Granted, nothing like that had ever happened, but being in Inuyasha's arms had always felt natural and calm, rather like bliss. But when Kouga had done it, she had felt nervous and slightly violated. She really needed to sort out her thoughts. But for now, knowing she was with Inuyasha was good enough, she could think about why she liked it so much later.

"What the fuck did you think you where doing. You can't just grab girls and force yourself on them. Who the fuck are you?" Kagome looked up to Inuyasha's raging face. 'Force himself on me? That's sounds wrong. Is it me or is Inuyasha taking this a tad too seriously.'

"Kouga, rink staff. And what the fuck do you call what you're doing," the boy snarled back.

"I'm fucking entitled."

"Entitled? Says who? Get your grubby hands off my woman."

'What was this guy, an idiot? He didn't even know her, he had only just seen her five minutes ago.' Inuyasha ranted, forgetting how possessive of Kagome he had felt after one glance. "She ain't your woman, got that," he growled dangerously.

"Well she ain't yours, so let her go."

"You fucking piece of shit, it doesn't matter. She doesn't want to be with you anyway."

"How would you know? Let her go."

"Fuck that." Inuyasha looked past him to all the girls that had crowded him earlier. They looked like they were on the dipshit's side. Probably want her gone so that they can have him, and the bastard could have her. 'I'm fucking tired of this.'

He pulled his arms off Kagome, Kouga's face turning arrogant when he thought he had won. But Inuyasha only moved his hands to her shoulders, spinning around so she faced him. He smiled slowly as he brought his head down, making sure every man and woman was watching him claim what was his. He pulled her forward, pressing his lips softly to her surprised ones. She gasped and he used the opportunity to deepen it, as Kagome slowly melted to him.

After a few seconds, he pulled away. He needed to stay in control and loosing himself to Kagome's tempting touch was not the way to do it. He smirked at the speed of her racing heart and the look on the jerks face. 'Humph, that'll teach him.'

He turned her back around and pulled her against him, folding his strong arms around her small form.

"You…you, bastard."

"She ain't yours," Inuyasha said slowly.

"Kagome, don't tell me you…liked that."

"Hn?" Kagome was too lost in what had just happened, off in her own little world.

Inuyasha bent and rubbed his face in her hair, sniffing slightly at the soft fragrance. "Come on Kag," he muttered, shooting a glare at the boy before guiding her off the rink floor.

When he reached his friends, he couldn't help but noticed they looked amused. What was funny about Kagome getting hit on? He found it infuriating.

"What the fuck is so funny?"

"You have it soooo bad," remarked Miroku, his grin widening. Inuyasha gasped and closed his hands over Kagome's ears.

"Not around the children Miroku."

Kagome glazed eyes snapped to attention. "I am not a child." She turned in his embrace at glared up at him.

"Did you let me escape you?"

"What?"

She growled softly at his lack of knowledge, "When we were in the basement and I twisted away from you and we both fell and I landed on top of you and is ANY of this ringing a bell."

"Maybe," Inuyasha smiled.

"Maybe? Maybe you remember?"

He leaned down to her ear. "No, maybe I let you get away."

Her eyes widened. "You jerk, I can fight on my own. Why would you do that? Selfish, strong, arrogant-"

"Kagome."

"What?" she yelled.

"Shut up." He pressed a quick kiss to her lips, released her and skated off with the amused Miroku, entering the rink.

Kagome looked at Sango, the kiss still lingering on her mouth. "Why does he keep doing that? That's the third time he has kissed me since I've been here."

"He must like kissing you," she answered nonchalantly. "Don't act like you don't like being kissed either."

Kagome blushed, but there was no way Sango was winning this. She lost too much to Inuyasha to start loosing battles to others. "Humph, don't tell me you don't wish Miroku kissed you that way."

Sango visibly darkened. "Why you little…" She skated after Kagome who was laughing at her well-won victory.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The boys were actually very good. They couldn't skate in small circles or twirl around, but they were fast. Much faster than her or Sango. Of them all, Kagome was the slowest. Next were Sango and Miroku, who were fairly equal. And finally was Inuyasha, aka Speed Demon. Everything that guy did was fast. It was amazing, almost unnatural. She had been noticing that. Inuyasha had amazing speed, and his hearing was also impeccable. He was very strong; stronger than he let on she was sure. And he had natural long silver hair and amber eyes. There was just something…otherworldly and mysterious about him.

Currently, they were all sitting on the bench they had dubbed as theirs, weird territorial thing. They had skated, eaten, and skated some more. It was ten o'clock, and the rink had only about fifteen people on it, as it would at any one time. Most of the people there were already asleep. She would never understand that, you pay for twelve hours so you can skate for four and spend the night sleeping in a skating rink? People were weird.

She was still irritated. She had been skating with her fiends and every time they passed the arcade machines, the stupid girls there would cheer for Inuyasha and Miroku and glare at her and Sango. She had finally went over there to give them a piece of her mind, got a little carried away, and had to have Inuyasha drag her from under the dog pile the girls had opted for as their attack.

She swore she had smelt like them, so Inuyasha just had to smell her and back off, saying she did and that she stunk, embarrassing the heck out of her as he made as if her presence was killing him. Then he had laughed, told her she smelt fine and kissed her on the cheek, leaving a dark blush and even more embarrassment than before. But at least it had stopped the groupie in the corner from their incessant laughing.

But she was serious, if he kissed her again, she was gonna smack him. How dare he keep her blushing, make her heart speed up, cause her insides to burn, take her breath away, look so God damn good in his tight shirt. That boy was too hot. Too beautiful and too full of desire. She would not turn into a weeping woman, only happy when he was near her, touching her. And she would definitely not think about him anymore while at this rink.

She shrugged, clearing her thoughts as her eyes drifted to him, tracing every strong curve in his stomach. 'Damn it.' She turned away, her thoughts drifting back to her fantasies about the boy. 'Fuck.' She put her head in her hands, his arrogant smiling face swimming before her vision. 'Oh my God.' "Stupid betraying body," she muttered as she lifted her head.

"What was that Kagome?" asked Sango when she heard the soft mummer, unable to make it out.

Kagome sighed in defeat, staring directly at Inuyasha as he talked about guitars with Miroku. "Did you ever notice, the more you tell yourself not to think of something, the more you seem to think about it? And the more so tell yourself not to see or look at something, the more you find yourself staring at or imagining what you strived not to?"

"Ahh, we're having guy troubles are we?"

"Yes, I'm in trouble. But more like deep shit."

"Mmm, well, you can't help who you like."

Kagome snorted, "Where you get that, from a book?"

"I thought you liked books? You thought you could get anything from a book."

"Yeah well, books can't teach you everything." She smiled flatly and turned to Sango, "How was math going to help me prepare for my first kiss? Or control my feelings? Or figure this out? I am so confused."

Sango stared at Kagome long after the girl's gaze had drifted back to Inuyasha. She sighed resting her chin on her hands and turning to stare at the two boys as well before speaking. "Kagome, you got it bad."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Four hours. Four fucking hours. We have been here for four fucking hours Kagome."

Kagome rolled her eyes as she reached out to pull on his hair. "I know Inuyasha, but what do you want me to do. Congratulations Inuyasha, you can count to four. Congratulations, you survived one third of the skate party. Congratulations, you've managed to annoy the hell out of me."

Inuyasha grinned, pulling his hair from her grip, "That's the one I was aiming for."

"I hate you."

"Lets go skate guys," suggested Sango as she pulled Miroku up and carted him off.

Kagome and Inuyasha shrugged and followed. When they got out there, Sango motioned for them. They skated over to her and found themselves in front of the DJ. "You can request songs, I think we should all request our favorite. It will be fun."

Kagome nodded enthusiastically as she and Sango discussed what they would be requesting. Inuyasha and Miroku went along with it like good little boys. Kagome stuck her tongue out, thinking hard.

"Don't hurt yourself."

"Shove it. Wait…I got it." She bent herself over the clipboard and scribbled what she wanted on a piece of paper, handing it to the DJ. The others followed suit.

"How long before one of our songs comes on?"

"I don't know," answered Sango thoughtfully. "Soon I hope. When a song comes on, we have to decide whose it is, if it is one of ours."

"Bored are you?" asked Miroku as they began to skate again.

"No, but I would be if we weren't doing this, so shut up."

The next song started and they all turned to Sango. "Well, not only am I sure this is one of ours, I'm sure this is yours. How fitting." Kagome listened as the singing started, "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson.

Miss independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance, mmmm

Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, no

Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne

So, by keeping her heart protected
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

"This is so you." Kagome laughed as Sango blushed lightly, Miroku completely missing the implications.

(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

(Verse 2)
Misguided heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start, no

But she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing a misconception
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love

Inuyasha looked at Sango, "God, this song is perfect. Did she right it for you?" Sango kept her flaming face forward, thinking maybe her idea had not been that genius. Miroku was still lost.

(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true (when love, is true)

(Bridge)
When miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I've finally seen

(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true (when love, is true)

Miss independent

Inuyasha and Kagome laughed together as Sango and Miroku skated ahead of them. "That was priceless." They both laughed harder when Miroku turned around, confused. He looked back to Sango, "I don't get it."

Sango shook her head as the next song came on.

Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with butterflies
Ooh and it's alright
Bouncing around from cloud to cloud
Got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied ooooh

Obviously, it wasn't theirs. Kagome and Inuyasha hadn't heard it before, and it wasn't Miroku's style.

And every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue tied turns out
Everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together

We'll take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again
And I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
And fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

"This is pretty. I wonder what it is?"

"It's called "Why Don't You and I" by Santana and Chad Kroeger." They all stared at Miroku as he answered Kagome's question.

"You mean, this is your song?" Sango asked, astonished.

"Maybe," he answered cryptically as he took her hand and skated with her.

"You know," Kagome leaned into Inuyasha so he could hear her as she spoke softly, "He gets very subdued and nice when he is tired. He hasn't made one move for another girl." Though Kagome doubted that was all due to his tiredness.

"It's worse when he is drunk."

When's this fever gonna break
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love sick puppy chasing you around
Oooh and it's alright
Bouncing around from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna down
And if I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Oooh

Sango peeked over to Miroku as he skated with her. He caught her eye and gave her hand a small squeeze. She blushed and looked forward gain, but gave his hand a small squeeze as well. 'Maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought.'

And every time I'd try to talk to you I'd get tongue tied turns out
Everything I say to you comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'm singing
Why Don't you and I get together
Let's take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and Tails we'll try again
So I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
We'll fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
Slowly I begin to realize that this is never gonna end and the moment you walk by it's like oh here we go again oh
So I'm singing
Why Don't you and I get together
We'll take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
And I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
And fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

As the song finished, Kagome caught up with the other too. "Well that was surprising. The next two won't be hard. Ones a girls song, the other is a boy's."

"So. We can still guess right?"

Dirrty
Filthy
Nasty
Too dirrty to clean my act up
If you ain't dirrty... you ain't here to party!

Ladies move, gentlemen move
Somebody ring the alarm
A fire on the roof
Ring the alarm (And I'm throwin elbows)
I said ring the alarm (And I'm throwin elbows)
Ring the alarm (And I'm throwin elbows)

"There is no way this is Inuyasha's song. But that would mean…" They all looked over to Kagome, who was trying to look everywhere else than at them.

"Kagome," Inuyasha asked suggestively, "You like getting dirty?"

"No, of course not," she explained, her friends laughing at the thought of pure cute little Kagome acting like Christina Aguilera had in her video for "Dirrty". "I just like the song."

Ooh, I'm overdue
Gimme some room, I'm comin' through
Paid my dues, I'm in the mood
Me and my girls gonna shake the room
DJ's spinnin (show your hands)
And let's get dirrty (that's my jam)
I need that ... to get me off
Sweatin' till my clothes come off

It's explosive, speakers are thumpin'
Still jumpin', 6 in the morning
Table dancin', glasses are crashin'
No question, time for some action!

Kagome skated ahead, off in a world as the beat filled her ears and she began to dance while skating. Contrary to what might have been believed, Kagome looked very good when she was dancing. She seemed to know how to move her body to the music. And a song like this begged for more provocative movements. Many boys gathered on the rink to watch as she skated.

Temperature's up (Can you feel it?)
'Bout to erupt (so get)
Gonna get my girls
Get your boys
Gonna make some noise...

Gonna get rowdy
Gonna get a little unruly
Get it fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time that I came to start the party
Sweat drippin' over my body
Dancin' gettin' just a little naughty
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time for my arrival

Ahh, heat is up
So ladies, fellas, drop your cups
Body's hot from front to back
Move your ass, I like that

Tight hip huggers (low fo' sho')
Shake a little somethin' (On the floor)
I need that ... to get me off
Sweatin' till my clothes come off

Let's get open, cause a commotion
We're still goin', 8 in the morning
There's no stoppin', we keep it poppin'
Hard rockin', everyone's talkin'

Be all you got (give it to me)
Just hit the spot
Gonna get my girls
Get your boys
Gonna make some noise...

The crowd gathering and skating around the unaware Kagome was bothering the aware Inuyasha. "I thought those boys were sleeping. Damn that woman." 'She is too hot for her own good. How had she not been noticed before him? And why had she suddenly become noticed now that he had found her? Fate was a bitch.

Rowdy
Gonna get a little unruly
Get it fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time that I came to start the party
Sweat drippin' over my body
Dancin' gettin' just a little naughty
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time for my arrival

Here it comes
It's the one you been waitin' on
Get up, get it up
Yo, that's what's up
Givin' just what you want to the maximum
Uh oh
Here we go

You can tell when the music starts to drop
That's when we take it to the parking lot
And I betcha somebody's gonna call the cops
Uh oh's, here we go's
Ohh... yeahh...

Gonna get rowdy
Gonna get a little unruly
Get it fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time that I came to start the party
Sweat drippin' over my body
Dancin' gettin' just a little naughty
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time for my arrival

The chorus repeated and the happy Kagome swerved out from the weird crowd that had suddenly appeared and headed back for Inuyasha. "So, I guess just yours now?"

The DJ came on over the speaker. "Okay everyone, it's one o'clock, and so were gonna do something different to celebrate the half time. I want everyone to take off the skates and lets do some dancing. I'll play about four songs that you guys can jam to."

"Yay dancing." Kagome jumped up and down, falling over from trying to do so in skates, and smashed into Inuyasha. "Dancing is so much fun." He looked down at her.

"Uh uh, not for me. I suck at it."

Kagome looked crest fallen, turning to Miroku and Sango who both shook their heads with Inuyasha.

"But you're all in a band?"

"We can sing, we can't dance."

"Okay, I'll dance alone. Take my skates." She handed them to Inuyasha as they all walked off the rink to go sit on their bench and watch Kagome. The music started, an old dancing classic, "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell. Kagome danced, but 'by myself' had been very wrong. Apparently, that group of boys was still awake and dancing around Kagome. She was very good. She knew moves he had never seen. Kouga had joined the group and was spinning her around and swinging her into the air, catching her by the waist. Inuyasha clenched his fist. He had claimed his territory, and Kagome was just dancing. But if that bastard tried that spin thing one more time he WOULD intervene.

Fortunately, Kagome moved on, unaware of her partners as she danced to the next song, occasionally waving to the group. Miroku and Sango sat quietly watching Kagome as she danced and occasionally Inuyasha when she once again chose a partner.

The third song just happened to be Inuyasha's. When it came on, Inuyasha sought out Kagome's gaze. She looked at him mid-laugh and stopped her laugh and her dancing. He flicked his eyes to the DJ to say it was his song, and she understood, smart girl. She perked her ears and listened, her eyes never leaving his as he began to mouth the words.

So hot, hot
It's the S the L the I the M
Let me tell you what I wanna do
Let me show you that I'm feelin' you
Wanna sex(freak), wanna ride with you
Wanna taste, wanna put my lips all over you
Can't get enough of you
Always taken of you
So sweet, so very wet(I can't forget)
So good, girl you make me sweat
Girl I'm talkin' 'bout

Peaches and cream
I need it cause you know that I'm a fiend
Gettin' freaky in my Bentley limousine
It's even better when it's with ice cream
Know what I mean

Peaches and cream
I need it cause you know that I'm a fiend
Gettin' freaky in my Bentley limousine
It's even better when it's with ice cream
Know what I mean, peaches and cream

Kagome's blush was too much. The way he was looking at her, God, it was like he was singing it. He WAS singing it. Oh God, she was gonna faint.

I never thought that I would be
So addicted to you
On top, underneath, on the side of you
Better yet baby inside of you(right next to you)
Love the way you're just flowin down
And I can feel it all around
In the front, in the back of you
Ooh I love the taste(smell) of you
Girl you know what I'm talking about

Chorus

He stood, moving away from the bench and starting for her, walking with the music. He looked like a lion hunting his prey. Or maybe his…mate.

Won't stop girl you know I can't get enough
Wanna taste it in the morning when I'm waking up
Like peach cobbler in my stomach when I eat it up
Got your legs(arms) around my neck so(and) I can't get up
See the boys 112 we from the A' (A' - shorty we don't play)
And when it comes to eating peaches, shorty we don't play
So all the ladies in the house if your peach the shit(is it)
Put your hands in the air represent your clique

Chorus

The crowd spread as he approached her, reaching out and dragging his hand over her shoulders as he slowly circled her. He leaned down and said the words in her ear, tickling her with his hot breath.

Oh girl I need it
I gotta have it
It's always on my mind
Know what I mean
Peaches and cream
I like it in my car
Or even in my bed
Or baby on the stairs
Know what I mean
Peaches and cream

He switched ears, dragging his hands up her arms and cupping her shoulders. Kagome shivered.

Oh girl I need it
I gotta have it
It's always on my mind
Know what I mean
Peaches and cream
I like it in my car
Or even in my bed
Or baby on the stairs
Know what I mean
Peaches and cream

Chorus

He wrapped his arms around her as it finished. "I love that song."

"Mm, yeah it's good." Damn, when had he been able to do that to her. God, she was breathing so hard, her chest was heaving. "You damned lion."

"Keh, it was Sango's idea, I just chose the song."

Kagome turned so she was facing him. It seemed more and more often she found herself in his arms. "So it would seem that you are innocent, but unless Sango told you to seduce me while playing a very heated song, I would have to disagree to this being her fault."

"You're just too smart for me Kag."

"Humph." She couldn't think of anything smarter to say at the moment. Figured. She leaned up against him and they danced out the last song. Inuyasha closed his eyes, 'This is much better than watching her dance with a bunch of hormone crazed freaks. I could get used to this.' He breathed deeply, taking in her scent, 'Too bad she doesn't realize how true that song was. Oh well, maybe I'll tell her one day…or show her.'

The DJ came over the speaker again, "Okay, that finishes that. Time for some more skating."

Kagome yawed. "I'm tired."

"Its your challenge."

"SO, that doesn't mean I'm immune from getting tired. It is almost two in the morning."

"So we have five more hours."

"Yes we do, but something confuses me."

"Huh?"

"Well, how is it you can fit a brain up there when it's so full of arrogance, idiocy and hot air."

"I gave Miroku three seconds, I'm giving you two."

"Ooo, I'm so scared." She ran off the rink hiding behind a bench. They ran around it for a while before Inuyasha became annoyed and jumped the table, surprising and catching Kagome.

"Cheater."

"Alls fair in love and war."

"Funny how you can't make up your own comebacks."

"…Keh."

"Very intelligent."

"Don't make me do it."

"Do what? Bore me with your immense intellect for all of two minutes."

"Not quite." He tilted her chin and covered her mouth with his. It was very tender and soft. He pulled back after a short time.

"You keep doing that."

"That's cause it is still working."

"Right. So you wouldn't do that if I wasn't a loud mouth?"

"Well, you are you. You are a loud mouth; it is part of you. I kiss you, so if you weren't you, maybe I wouldn't."

"Your supposed to just say that you would kiss me to prove to the maiden that you care more about kissing than shutting her up, just like they do in the books."

"If I can't get my comebacks from a book, then I sure as hell ain't gonna pull my advances and feelings from one."

He had a very good point, but she wasn't done yet. "'Ain't' ain't a word."

"I'll remember that."

He dipped his head again, brushing his lips across her forehead and trailing them to her lips, pausing momentarily before lifting his head and pulling her off to the benches that lined the walls.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Miroku and Sango skated with each other, talking about anything that came to mind. Inuyasha and Kagome had stretched out together on one of the benches in the corner and had fallen asleep. So it was up to Sango. She struggled to stay up, leaning on Miroku more than she realized.

"Come, let's sit for awhile, I'm getting tired."

"Right." If she thought that Miroku was really looking out for her well being, she would have refused. They walked over to a bench near Inuyasha, Miroku sitting and pulling Sango into his lap. She curled up and took a deep breath. Miroku steadied his breathing and closed his eyes, lolling his head. Sango looked up and stared at his face. She reached forward and lightly traced his features with her index finger. She smiled and pulled her hand away, resting it on his chest as she looked around. Everyone was sleeping. Good. "We win."

With that she put her head on Miroku's shoulder and drifted off into the world of dreams. Miroku cracked an eye, sighing and readjusting her so he was more comfortable. When he was done he glanced at the other two, surprised to see Inuyasha peering at him with amusement. Miroku smiled, patting Sango and smoothing his hand through her hair. "Yes you did," he spoke quietly.

Inuyasha winked and settled back down, pulling Kagome closer to him. Miroku also wrapped his arms around Sango to pull her close. He laid his head on hers, kissing her hair as he finally let himself sleep. "Yes you did."

A/N: That was a long challenge. Had to put in some more music, it is a band fic for crying out loud. Okay, chapter completed, next chapter in progress.

****Please read****

Okay, it is not that important, but I want to know if anyone can answer this. It is a little off subject trivia. There are three words in the English language that end with 'gry'. Two of these are angry and hungry. The third word is a very common word, and you use it often. If you have read what I have told you, you will see that I have given you the third word. What is the third word? Think very carefully.
