Now What?

The club was crowded, especially on the dance floor. Lights were flashing and changing colors everywhere. There were even laser rays moving with the beat. The music was booming loud, and there were endless dance movements on the floor. The bar wasn’t too packed, but it had its crowd. Upstairs, where the tables were, sat some numerous groups. Some were groups of three, some were groups of seven. Some people were drinking the night away, others were either drinking lightly, or slow.
Sango and Kagome walked in front of Inuyasha and Miroku. Sango, having a tight hold of Kagome’s wrist, pushed her way through the crowd. Obviously, it was too crowded, and a bit tight. Since Sango was practically dragging her, she lost grip and her hand slid away. Kagome was about to rush through to get to her but, was roughly pushed back by a guy within in the crowd. Seeing this, angered Inuyasha. He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her tightly next to him. Kagome blinked in surprise.

‘Why is he holding me so tight?’

With his free arm, he literally began to push through. Miroku, not wanting to get lost in the crowd, even though it was full with ‘ladies’, grabbed the back of Kagome’s blouse. They were half way through to the bar, until Miroku stumbled a bit. He gripped tighter on Kagome’s blouse and felt something come apart. Kagome’s eyes grew big and she stiffened immediately. Inuyasha stopped and looked at her. She put her hand between of her breasts’, trying to figure something out. She realized that her bra felt a little. . . loose. She turned around and slapped Miroku on the face.

“PERVERT!!” With that, she ran off through the crowd.

Inuyasha was dumbfounded, then glared at Miroku.

“What did you do?” Miroku rubbed his cheek, smiling idiotically.

“Uh, I accidently. . . un-hooked her bra?”

Inuyasha slapped Miroku on the head twice before going of f to find Kagome. Miroku rubbed his head, sighed, and went to the bar Sango. Sango had already ordered a round of apple martini’s for her and kagome, and a round of corona’s for the guys. She spoke aloud for Miroku to hear.

“Hey! Where were you guys? Where’s Kagome?” Miroku leaned against the bar.

“She had a small predicament. Inuyasha went with her.”

“Oh. Here, take this tray and follow me upstairs so we can get a table.”

Miroku wasn’t given much choice as Sango shoved the tray against his chest, practically spilling the drinks over him. They walked steadily up the stairs, and walked to a table towards the edge of the rail, so they could get a good view of the dance floor below.

Inuyasha leaned against the wall. He watched as girls walked out the bathroom. Some were laughing, some were leaning on each other for support of balance. He waited patiently for Kagome to come out. Inside, Kagome was in a stall, fixing her bra. She was grumbling the whole time.

‘Stupid Miroku! Why can’t he just once, just ONCE, keep his hands to himself!?’

Once she finished, she walked out and checked herself in front of the mirror. She fixed her hair and straightened her blouse. She gave herself one last look, then headed out.
Inuyusha saw her walk out and touched her shoulder. She turned to face him in confusement.

“Hey, you okay?” Kagome wasn’t sure how to answer.

“Um, yeah.”

Inuyasha nodded his head and led her upstairs where he assumed Sango and Miroku were. As they went upstairs they spotted Sango and Miroku . They went over to them and sat down. Sango was sitting next to Miroku, and Inuyasha sat across from Miroku. The only seat that was available was next to Inuyasha. She didn’t know why, but she felt a little uneasy sitting next to him. Not in a bad way, but in a nervous way. She sat down and scooted to the edge of the table. Inuyasha didn’t pay attention and made conversation.

“So, now that we’re here, what’re we doin’?” Sango smiled brightly.

“First of all, we’re all gonna take a shot!” Kagome looked at Sango.

“A shot? Why a shot?”

“Cuz’, we’re gonna start off good. And to start off good, we need a shot!”

“We don’t even have shots right now.” Just then, a waitress delivered five shots. Inuyasha glanced at kagome.

“Feh! There’s no excuse now Kagome.”

“Fine. Wait, who asked for shots?” Miroku smiled.

“That would be my apologies Ms. Kagome. For earlier. . .” Kagome glared at him for a bit.

“It’s okay. Thanks.” Sango divided the shots eagerly and anxiously.

“Okay! Every one’s got one. Let’s make a toast before we ‘sip’.” Kagome was confused.

“Wait a minute. How come I have two?”


“Cuz’ we’re celebrating for you!”

“What?! How come we never celebrate for Inuyasha?”

“Are you kidding? We’d be alcoholics!” Inuyasha wasn’t expecting that one.

“Hey!” Kagome giggled.

“Fine, celebrate we will.”

The four of them grabbed their shots and raised it in the air. Inuyasha scoffed.

“This is so teen-ish.” Sango glared at him.

“Shut up and share the toast!” She smiled at Kagome and motioned for her to say a toast.

“Um. . .to my friends, who are always there. And. . .to all-“

“She said a toast! Not a speech! C’mon!” Everyone glared at Inuyasha.

“What?” Kagome cleared her throat.

“And to men. If it wasn’t for them, we girls wouldn’t be able to celebrate dumping them!”

Sango cheered aloud. As for the guys, they just grumbled to themselves. They brought the shots down to their mouths and drank fast. Afterwards, some hissing noises were made, and if not that, coughing or straining of the throat.

“Damn! That felt good!”

“Whoo! Hell yeah!”

“Ugh! That burns!”

“Tell me about it!”

Sango looked at Kagome’s other shot.

“Hey, you forgot one.” kagome looked at her in disbelief.

“You can’t be serious! I just drank one!” Inuyasha pitched in.

“Yeah Kagome, you need one more!” Miroku decide to gang up on her too.

“Kagome, it will be better if you just take it and get it over with.”

Kagome looked like a little girl who was ready to cry.

‘I can’t drink this! If the first one burned this much, how will I react to this one?!’

The group continued to taunt her. Kagome swallowed hard, not too sure she wanted to drink the substance. By now they were cheering Kagome on. She decided that she didn’t want to start drinking to fast, if she did, she would do something stupid. Like all the other times she started to drink to fast. She put her shot down and was about to tell everyone that she would drink it later, until she heard Inuyasha’s comment.

“All the girls I’ve dated take up to three in a row.”

For a not so strange reason, Kagome felt anger and jealousy. She DID NOT like to be compared to all his other ‘women’. What the hell was he thinking? That all his ex’s compared to her? That they were stronger than her? Please.

‘If they were half the women they say they were, they would AT LEAST learn how to keep a guy in his place.’

Kagome sat to the side, facing Inuyasha. She picked up her shot and drank it within a second, not losing eye contact with him. She placed the small glass on the table and narrowed her eyes to him. With her tongue, she wiped a small drop of tequila off the edge of her lips, all the while looking intently at him.
Inuyasha was total awe. Seeing how Kagome drank the shot, the way she licked the remaining tequila off her lips, and while looking at him. That was a big turn on for him. He just stared at her, her looking at him.
Kagome smirked and stood up, her stomach was inches from his face. She peered down at him.
Inuyasha looked up slowly, admiring the shape of her smooth stomach, his eyes moving upwards, trying to overlook her breasts’ as they were almost in the way of looking at her face. He moved his seat back a little and looked up at her.
She kept looking at him. She smirked flirtatiously, and walked away. Inuyasha didn’t know what just happened.

“Hey! Where do you think you’re going?!” Kagome glanced back, walking towards the stairs, swaying her hips lightly.

“I’m gonna go dance. What does it look like I’m gonna do?” With that, she walked down the stairs. Inuyasha turned back around and crossed his arms.

“Feh!”

Sango and Miroku glanced at each other and smiled.

“Is it getting hot in here, or what!”


“I agree.” Sango stretched, grabbed her martini, gulped it and stood up. Miroku’s brows knitted together.

“My love, would you care to dance already?”

“Oh I’m ready to dance alright, but you won’t be the one I dance with.” She smiled down at the two.

“See ya’ boyz’!” She waved good bye and swiftly walked towards the stairs. Miroku watched her walk away and down the stairs. He looked at Inuyasha.

“Should we go down there with them?”

“Who cares!” Miroku sighed.

“This is gonna be a long night. Well, might as well make the most of it.”

Miroku ordered another round of shots. The waitress brought four. Inuyasha divided the shots, two and two. They held their shots, and made a toast.

“Cheers.”

They gulped the two shots fast. They stood up, leaned on the rail, and drank their beers, looking down at the moving crowd.

Kagome was dancing with Sango. Each going off and on the floor to get another drink every now and then. They were moving hastily with the beat, turning down every guy who ‘tried’ to dance with them. By mere chance, Sango looked up towards the second floor. Only to find their male companions peering down at them. She smiled and went back to dancing with Kagome.

“Looks like we have an audience!” Kagome turned around and faced her.

“Where?” Sango motioned for her to look up at the rail. Kagome looked up and noticed them.

“Oh. Why are they just up there?”

“I dunno. Let’s tease’ em a bit!” Kagome smiled devilishly.

Both girls got closer together. Sango put her hands on Kagome’s hips, Kagome put her hands in the air, and they swayed to the music. Then Kagome slid her hands slowly towards Sango’s hips, while Sango turned around and put her hands over Kagome’s. Their bodies stuck together, both moving together as one.
Miroku’s eyes looked like they were about to burst out of his eye sockets. Inuyasha on the other hand eyed them carefully. He was well aware of what they were doing.


‘So, they think they can get the best of us, huh?’ Inuyasha turned around, his back facing the lower crowd.

“Feh! Whatever.” He looked to Miroku to that he do the same. But what was wrong.

Miroku was drooling like a love sick puppy. Loving every smooth move the girls made together. Inuyasha scowled and grabbed him by the arm.

“Hey! Where we are going? I wasn’t done watching-“

“Let’s go the bar! There’s more than enough girls here and you’re gawking at THEM!”

Inuyasha led them downstairs towards the bar. He ordered some drinks and shots for them both. While they were waiting, Kagome was making her way towards them.

“Hey you two! We didn’t see you so we figured you’d be here.”

Inuyasha stared at her. Kagome was panting, and she was lightly sweating, but not too much. She watched as the waiter placed their drinks next to them.

“Oh good! I’m so thirsty!” Kagome took Inuyasha’s drink.

“Hey that’s a Crocodile Cooler!”

“So?”

“That’s a hard drink for a girl! It could mess you up and I’ll have to babysit you!”

“Whatever.”

“Whatever?! Hey! Who said that was for you anyway?”

“Stop being so grumpy! You can order another one, geez!”

Inuyasha watched as she gulped the WHOLE thing down, only stopping for breath. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and put the now empty glass on the bar.

“WOW! That was some drink! It makes me feel all. . .tingly!” Inuyasha scoffed.

‘Yeah I bet it does.’


She started to chat with Miroku. Inuyasha didn’t know why, but seeing Kagome like this, the way she was acting. Maybe it was all the drinking, he didn’t know, but just watching her. The way she seemed so happy, giggling, the way she would move her hair from her face, without a care in the world. She didn’t care. She didn’t care if anyone looked at her with disgust or if they talked about her, she didn’t care. She was always happy, or smiling. At work, she works with a smile and is always seen laughing or talking to someone. It wasn’t just the alcohol making her smile, she’s always like this. The alcohol is only making it more noticeable.

‘Its like she can glow of purity or something. . .’

Inuyasha thought about what he had just though.

‘Okay, I better get another drink! I’m getting too soft here!’ He ordered a drink for himself.

Miroku was busy laughing with Kagome. She was ranting about and making jokes.

“My Kagome, if I’d known you to be so witty and charming, I’d ask you to be my girlfriend!”

Kagome playfully hit Miroku on the shoulder.

“Oh stop it! I’m not that nice!”

“Sure you are! Look.” Miroku grabbed Kagome’s hand, put high above her head, and twirled her around.

“You’re beautiful as one can be, Ms. Kagome.” Kagome giggled as she was being twirled.

Inuyasha was watching her. He saw the little ruffle of her skirt lift lightly with the twirling.

‘She’s so beautiful. . .’

Inuyasha stopped at his thinking and put his drink back on the bar.

‘Hmm. . .maybe I’m drinking too much?’ He shook his head and moved the side so that he could lean on the bar. Kagome was just about done twirling when she lost her balance. Miroku tried to grab her as she was falling to the side.

“Kagome!” Kagome was giggling the whole time.

Inuyasha heard Miroku and turned to see what was going on. He caught sight of Kagome falling towards him and caught her beneath her arms, right before she fell. He stood her up and she wrapped her arms around him. She started to laugh while she was steadying herself.

“You caught me Inuyasha!”

“Of course I did! You could’ve fallen and hit your head, you dummy!” Kagome got off him and fixed her clothing.

“Why do you always have to be so mean?! You’re such a trip killer!”


“I’m a what?!” Kagome sighed in agitation.

“Nevermind. I’m gonna go find Sango and dance. Excuse me.”

Both guys watched her disappear in the crowd. Miroku looked at Inuyasha and eyed him.

“Look man, if you like her, you don’t have to hide it.” Inuyasha stared back at Miroku.

“ I DON’T LIKE HER.” Miroku sighed.

“Okay, whatever.”

“Whatever?! Is that the word of the day or something?!” Miroku blew him off and ordered a drink.
Sango was loving the dance floor! She didn’t care if she was dancing alone or not, all that mattered was the music, and the feeling it gave her. She was dancing when she felt someone bump into her. She turned around to see Kagome, with a big smile.

“Hey! Where’d you go?”

“Sorry I took long, I was talking with the boys.”

“Yeah, and I bet you drank too, huh?” Kagome smiled even brighter.

“Well, a little!”

They laughed and began to dance once more. They were practically in their own little world, until she felt like she was dancing alone. She turned around, and a small shock over took her.
There was Kagome, her eyes closed and her back against him. She was dancing with someone, he had his arms around her, tightly. They weren’t too far away, but still. She moved towards Kagome, once she was there she realized Kagome’s kidnapper. It was Koga. He was swaying his hips along with hers, his hands on her hips, practically sucking her close to his body. Sango got close to Kagome.

“Since when are you in ‘companionship’ with Koga?” Kagome opened her eyes and looked confused.

“Huh? But. . .I thought you were. . .” she looked behind her and saw Koga. She began to laugh aloud.

“Oh my gosh! I thought it was Sango! Koga, HI!! What’re you doing here?”

“I was about to ask you the same question. My Kagome, are you drunk?” Kagome laughed.

“No! I’m just a little woozy! That’s all!”


“Who are you here with?”

“I’m here with Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha.”

“Wanna keep dancing?” He gave her his little ‘womanizing’ smile. Kagome giggled.

“Alright Koga. Only this once okay? Don’t think nothing of it.” Koga put his hands up in defense.

“Don’t worry I won’t! Just a small dance, that’s all.” He gave an innocent smile.

He put his hands back on Kagome’s hips and put his face next to her ear. Sango wasn’t even gone yet and he already started to whisper in her ear, making her laugh and giggle in the process.
Sango felt a rush of excitement and mischievous. She smiled and made her way towards the bar, hoping to find a certain person. If her suspicions were correct, this would work out just the way she wanted it too. She danced her way out of the crowd and towards to bar. She saw just who she was looking for.

“Hey Miroku, wanna dance?” Miroku jerked from the bar. Before he could ‘run’ to her, he questioned her motives.

“You suddenly changed your mind?” Sango got to the bar, snatched the Inuyasha’s drink from his hand, and chugged it down.

“Hey! That was pretty good! Like your taste in drinks.”

“Oh thanks. Would you like me to order another one for YOU?!”

“Aww! Would you?” Inuyasha crossed his arms and grumbled to himself. Sango giggled.

“I love the pleasure of irritating him!” Miroku just shrugged his shoulders. Inuyasha kept grumbling.

‘Is everyone taking my drinks or is it just me?! I should just be a personal waiter while I’m at it!’

“So where’s your little buzzing friend?” Sango smiled at Inuyasha.

“Oh yeah, so Miroku, wanna dance with me?”

“Where’s Kagome? I thought you were dancing with her.”

“Well I was, but she’s a little ‘preoccupied’ right now.” She glanced at Inuyasha.

“With who? You didn’t leave her alone in there did you?!” Inuyasha was pissed.

“Oh, she’s not alone, she’s just with a fellow co-worker. That’s all.”

Inuyasha straightened himself from the bar, and tip toed. He was trying to see if Kagome was nearby. He was about to go in looking for her until he spotted her with HIM.

‘What the shit?!’

He practically charged through the crowd. Anger was surrounding his mind. He saw no one but Kagome and Koga. He wouldn’t want more than to rip his throat apart! He was thinking more like a . . .’russian neck tie’. He reached behind them. He watched as Koga was talking lowly, yet loud in her ear. The hairs on his neck flared, watching Koga’s hands on Kagome’s hips, gripping them tightly, and trying to rub his body against hers. He tried to remain calm and gripped his shoulder. He turned him around sharply. Koga was at first confused and angry. Once he saw who it was, he calmed a little, but remained just as angry.
Kagome was dancing by herself now. She noticed this and turned around. She saw Koga and Inuyasha. They were facing each other, neither looking too happy to see one another. She rushed to them and tried to stand between them. But they were so close to each other, their bodies felt like statues, very still and not moveable. She began to panic.
Inuyasha and Koga were face to face, the crowd didn’t bother them, neither the music. They just stared intently at each other.

“Hey dog shit what’s up?”

“Nothing new fuck face.”

Kagome felt like she was trembling. Her buzz was completely gone, and she had no clue on what these were gonna do.
Inuyasha decided to make this brief, and to the point.

“Listen you damn wolf! How ‘bout we settle this, right outside!”

“Don’t mind if I do, you bastard dog!”

Inuyasha growled and closed in the space between them.

“You gotta’ big mouth asshole.”

“I only speak the truth, Son of a Bitch.”

Inuyasha was fuming. Koga was too. Even though the club was crowded, Kagome felt the tension. She didn’t feel good at all. This was all her fault. She shouldn’t have danced with Koga to begin with. Yet, Inuyasha had no right to interrupt them like that.

‘Oh gods, what do I do?!’
