Unexpected Guest

Disclaimer: I own nobody but Ayuri

A.N.I want to thank u first off for all the reviews I got for the last chapter. From both mediaminer and fanfiction. I decided that before I started this chapter I would reply to some of your reviews.

the sands in an hourglass: no, actually I don't know how he got there. I usually just let the story lead me where it wants to go so I usually never know what's going to happen at the end. I will probably figure out how only a few days before u read it. Thanks for the complement. It really means a lot when I get reviews that say something other than “good job update ASAP”. And I would use the camera thing but I already did something else and f I changed it or just added that then it wouldn't make sense. I might do that in one of my other stories though so just watch for it.

Liza: when is it coming out? I would love to get it. I already have the first 3 and I have been waiting for the 4th.

Crimson2006: I had fun making up all those names. I had more but I didn't put them down. Thanks for the complement. It means a lot. I don't usually feel too good about my stories so u just gave me a big boost in my self confidence.

shadow miko: bless who?????

Ok, that's all the reviews. If u want me to reply to your review i'm just telling u right now I only reply to ones that actually say something, so u have to put something other than “good job update ASAP” don't get me wrong those reviews are still great to get. I just can't really think of a reply when u don't give me something to go on.

Chapter 4:Why?

“Are you okay?” Kagome asked Sesshoumaru as they pulled into the parking lot.

“Yes,” he replied calmly, “I just was not prepared for the noise, there are also more humans than this Sesshoumaru was expecting.” Kagome had been right. The noise coming from the club was immense. He couldn't even block all of it out with his youki. They had gotten to the club about 5 minutes ago and had just recently found a parking place. He sighed in relief when he was told that because Ayuri was the owner's cousin they wouldn't have to wait in the line at the entrance.

As soon as he got out of the car he knew he wasn't going to enjoy this at all. He could already hear the music blaring from the black building they were approaching and the entire area reeked of humans. When they reached the inside he followed Kagome and Ayuri over to a small table near the second dance floor and wished for the night to end.

They hadn't been there for more than 3 minutes when Hojo arrived. He was wearing a pale green shirt and tan slacks. As Kagome watched him approach she could help but think, `oh joy!' He sat down next to her and she could've swore she heard Sesshoumaru growl beside her. Ayuri had already run off in search of her cousin so she was pretty much stuck listening to Hojo. “So Hojo,” she said, half heartily, “how's your week been?”

“Good, I started my research paper on the medical properties of the poppy plant…” he began and Kagome mentally sighed.

`Here he goes,' she thought, `why can't he talk like a normal person? Or at least ignore me like Sesshoumaru does?' She mentally sighed again and let herself sink into her own little world, making sure to nod every so often so he thought she was listening. As she sat, lost in her own world, she wondered if this is what Sesshoumaru did when he was silently ignoring her.

It seemed that Hojo's speech was never going to end and an escape route was nowhere in sight. But after what seemed like hours, she got her chance. “Oh, I love this song!” she shouted, grabbing Sesshoumaru's hands and running out onto the dance floor.

“What do you think you are doing?” he asked as she placed his hands on her waist and put hers on his shoulders.

“Please just play along. If I have to listen to anymore medical crap I think I just might die.” She gave him her best sad puppy face and stared into his golden eyes, practically begging him to cooperate.

“Very well,” he sighed, surprising himself at how easily he had caved to her demands. “Is there a reason we have to stand like this?”

“Yes,” she said, blushing slightly as she began to sway her hips to the music, hoping he'd get the picture. “It's called slow dancing. Now listen, I have a proposition for you.”

“Oh, and what might that be?” he replied, arching one of his large eyebrows at her.

“If you let me pretend to flirt with you while we're here I'll show you something really cool on the way home.”

“Oh really?” he practically smirked, “What makes you think there is anything you have that this Sesshoumaru would want?”

“I'm smart,”

“Ha-ha! Although I must say, you've sparked my interest. So this Sesshoumaru will allow you to flirt with him.”

She smiled and rested her head on his chest, content to just rest in his arms and enjoy the rest of the dance. When the song ended they stayed and danced to the next song as well as the one after that. When they finally went back to the table Ayuri had returned and was sitting awkwardly with Hojo. They sat down and after they had a few drinks Kagome excused herself to the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`Uggg,' thought Kagome as she came out of the bathroom. I don't think this night is ever gonna end.' She started to walk back out to the main room but before she could reach the end of the hall a hand wrapped around her waist and she was yanked further down the hallway. “Hey!” she shouted, but soon his hand covered her mouth.

“Did you think I wouldn't notice? Did you think you could get away with it?” said her captor icily.

“Hojo?”

“Shut up!” he fumed, slapping her across the face, “How dare you dance with him! You're mine and I think I'm going to have to teach you the hard way.” He hit her again, only this time on the side of her head. Then he kneed her in the stomach and pulled her hair.

“Kagome has been gone to long,” Sesshoumaru said, his eyes scanning the crowd for her.

“Hojo hasn't come back either. I wonder where they are.”

“I am going to go look for her,” he said, getting up from the table.

“Are you sure that's a good idea?” He barely turned around to look at her before he tore off into the crowd in search of his only ally and possibly friend.

He followed her scent to a dark hallway towards the back of the club. He could smell her fear radiating from the back of the hallway and it made him furious. Snarling, he ran to the end of the hall and the sight that met his eyes made him see red. Hojo had Kagome on the floor as he was repeatedly kicking her in the ribs. He spat on her face and she had several bruises already forming on various parts of her body.

When he awoke from his haze a moment later he found Hojo dangling from his claws, “How dare you touch her!” he snarled, causing Hojo to cringe in fear, “I should kill you for hurting her. But this Sesshoumaru thinks making you live with your pain is better.” He tightened his claws and released a little of his poison into Hojo's neck. He made sure to only release enough poison to make Hojo scream in agony, but little enough that he would live. Then he dropped him on the floor and walked over to Kagome.

She was curled into a ball on the floor and was staring at him with large scared eyes. “Kagome,” he said softly, “It is me, Sesshoumaru. I am going to pick you up and take you home ok?” She gave him a weak nod, wincing when he picked her up bridal style and turned to leave the hallway.

“Ayuri,” he said when he reached their table, “we are leaving.” He didn't even stop to make sure she was following him as he turned and made his way toward the door.

Ayuri got up and quickly ran after Sesshoumaru's retreating form, picking up Kagome's purse as she went. She caught up with him in the parking lot and ran ahead to the car. She opened the door to the back and helped Sesshoumaru get in with Kagome in his arms before she ran to the front and got in. As she turned on the car and sped out of the parking lot she glanced back at them.

Kagome was curled up in Sesshoumaru's lap, holding onto his shirt as if her very life depended on it. Her eyes were closed and even though she had her face buried in his neck, Ayuri could tell that she was crying. His arms were wrapped snuggly around her shivering form and one of his hands was softly stroking her hair. Ayuri sighed as she thought back to a couple of days ago when they had been in this same car and the two of them had acted as if they hated each other. And now they were clinging to each other like a life line.

“We need to get her to a hospital,” she said, turning onto the highway.

A.n. Ok there it is. I'm sorry for the hold up. I had writers block. (I get that a lot) I have a couple more pages waiting to be written, but I figured id post these so u could read them while I type the rest.
