InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ This Wasn't In The Job Description ❯ Club Velfarre ( Chapter 44 )

Chapter 44

 

Club Velfarre

 

It was the night of the last concert. Tonight, Miroku had volunteered to pick up Kagome. When InuYasha was gone, Kagome took out her last outfit. This time, she was not wearing leather. She pulled out a pink, spandex cat suit and a wide, pink leather belt with a silver buckle. Matching pumps and lipstick finished off the outfit.

 

Tonight after the concert, there was a party for the band at the club Velfarre. Kagome had never gone to a club before, and was both excited and anxious at the same time. So many people would be there to see InuYasha - would anyone suspicious show up? And what about the groupies? At least she had a feeling Kikyo would not be showing up. She smiled to herself at the memory of how the scientist had stormed out of the warehouse earlier. The whole incident made her feel so much more confident about InuYasha's love for her.

 

A buzz came at the gate. Taking a peek at the monitor, she saw it was Miroku, as she expected. Telling him she would be right out, she grabbed her purse and left.

 

“I think you look even better in spandex than in leather,” said Miroku with a big grin as he opened the door of his car for Kagome.

 

“Thank you,” said Kagome with a smile, noticing the way his hand twitched as she got in.

 

`Well, at least he is showing some control,' Kagome thought wryly, sitting down.

 

“Are you excited about the party?” said Miroku, starting up the car.

 

“Yes, it should be fun,” replied Kagome. “And tomorrow InuYasha is calling a meeting. We are going to open the next clue we got from Itaro.”

 

“Looks like we may be finally getting somewhere,” said Miroku. “And just in time, I say. Kohaku will probably not leave the hospital this time. But I convinced Sango to come to the party for a while. There is not much she can do for Kohaku there - only finding the Shikon no Tama formula will help him now.”

 

“Then we must get moving on the clues, as soon as possible,” said Kagome, biting her lip anxiously.

 

“Yes, I agree,” replied Miroku grimly. “But for one last night, let's enjoy ourselves before we must search for the formula in earnest.”

 

They did not talk much on the rest of the trip. Each of them was lost in their own thoughts. Although they were silent, it was a companionable silence and neither felt uncomfortable around the other. Soon, they had reached the stadium.

 

The last concert went smoothly, and this time InuYasha had the band join him when he played the song he had written for Kagome as an encore. But he could barely take his eyes off her throughout the concert, and it made her both blush and feel happy at the same time. As for what InuYasha wore, it had the same allure for Kagome as his previous nights' outfits. Tonight, it was skin-tight, low-slung brown leather pants and matching leather vest. But they would have no private time for intimacy right after the concert tonight.

 

“Do you want me to give you a ride to the club?” asked Miroku to Kagome when the concert ended.

 

“Tonight, she rides with me,” said InuYasha with a smirk, and took Kagome's hand.

 

They took InuYasha's bike to Velfarre. The other band members, with Masahito and Kenta, went in a limo. When they pulled up to the club, security was on hand to manage crowd control. It seemed that the location of the party had leaked out.

 

InuYasha grudgingly gave his bike to the valets, and stalked into the club with Kagome. He ignored the squeals from the onlookers, and they entered the club, going upstairs to where the private party was being held for the band.

 

The upstairs room that InuYasha and Kagome walked into was fairly dark, with low, circular couches, tables and banks of TV screens. A bar served drinks on one side.

 

“Would you like a drink?” asked InuYasha, leading Kagome to the bar.

 

“Just a mikan Chuhai,” said Kagome smiling.

 

“I'll have a whisky on the rocks,” said InuYasha.

 

The bartender served them, and they took their drinks and looked at one another.

 

“Kanpai,” said InuYasha.

 

“Kanpai,” Kagome replied, and took a sip.

 

They turned at the boisterous sounds of the band making its entrance.

 

“I'm here, the party can start now!” said Daisuke, raising his arms to the room.

 

“Just get inside, you're blocking the door,” said Chiyoko, giving him a playful shove from behind.

 

“Okay, so where are the girls?” said Yamato, surveying the room.

 

“Oh no, you don't,” said Kaito, pushing in from behind. “You always get first pick, Yamato.”

 

“Ignore them,” said InuYasha to Kagome. “Let's find a table.”

 

On their way to a table, Miroku accosted them with some executives from InuYasha's old record label. They wanted to discuss the new song he had written and convince him to record it - and maybe do a new album. Kagome listened to them for a while, and then excused herself to go to the ladies room.

 

When Kagome left the bathroom, a horde of female fans had managed to get upstairs, and as Kagome watched in horror, they mobbed InuYasha. The hanyou rolled his eyes in disgust as they hovered around him, jabbering and squealing. He spotted Kagome and she read the message in his eyes.

 

Looking around the room, Kagome found where Kaito, Kenta, Yamato and Miroku were. First, she went to Miroku.

 

“InuYasha needs help,” Kagome said, gently tugging on his sleeve.

 

The agent broke off his conversation and looked at Kagome a moment, and then grinned as he saw the increasingly aggravated-looking hanyou.

 

“Don't worry, I'll help,” Miroku replied, and Kagome headed for Kaito, Yamato and Kenta.

 

They looked up as she approached, smiling in greeting.

 

“Guys, you have to go get those girls off InuYasha,” said Kagome.

 

“Hey, we're on it!” said Yamato, and headed quickly over to InuYasha's table, followed by Kaito and Kenta.

 

The four men converged around the girls, each taking two apiece, and talking sweetly to them as they led them away. Kagome smiled in relief, and InuYasha smirked back at her in thanks and approval. But that was not the end of their troubles. Something was making her hair rise, and she felt like she was being watched.

 

Slowly turning around, Kagome saw three men staring at her intently. They did not look like they really belonged at the party, not by their grim expressions. Could they be….

 

“InuYasha,” said Kagome, her voice rising in panic as they started to make their way towards her.

 

“Those are more of Naraku thugs, get out of the way!” InuYasha roared.

 

The hanyou was a blur, as he dashed passed Kagome and headed for the men who approached her. Lifting the first one in the air, InuYasha threw him headlong towards the stairs and they heard him tumble down it amid exclamations of alarm. The other two had little time to react, as InuYasha punched one of them in the face. He knocked him into the other, sending both flying into the bank of televisions, blood and glass spraying everywhere, and people screaming and yelling around them.

 

“Come on, let's get out of here,” said InuYasha, taking Kagome by the hand and jerking her after him out of the club.

 

They got InuYasha's bike, and quickly sped away.
