Bar Buddies

Inu Yasha awoke with a groan. His head was killing him and he knew that he had a few too many drinks the previous night. He opened his eyes and found that he was not in his bedroom. He was fully dressed with the exception of his shoes, and he saw that his jacket has been slung over a chair. He stood up, and walked over to it, reaching in, and grabbing his cell phone. He looked at it and saw that he had a text message.

Inu Yasha,

I will meet you at ‘The Den’ around 8 pm. Can’t wait to see you. Love, Kagome.

Inu Yasha groaned. He remembered that he was supposed to meet up with Kagome. She had wanted to tell him something about the wedding and had been really excited about it. However, he had run into his ‘other’ girlfriend, Kikyo, and she had begged him to go out and get a quick drink with her. He had done a pretty good job of keeping Kikyo a secret from Kagome, and he had thought that one drink wouldn’t hurt. Soon, he and Kikyo ended up in a cheap motel, and had brought some liquor with them. After a few hours of fucking and drinking, they decided to go out and have some fun. After that, he could remember nothing. But, lately he had been questioning his actions. He really did love Kagome. But, Kikyo was a vixen in the sack, and he knew that she had been around the block a few times. Just the thought made their entire sexual relationship seem dirty and more exciting. He had been Kagome’s first lover, and he would be her last.

He stood up and grabbed his shoes. He heard something slam and he decided to find out what it was. He walked from the bedroom, and had his jacket slung across his arm. He was shocked to find Kikyo with tears streaming down her face.

“Kikyo! What in the hell am I doing here, and why are you crying?” Inu Yasha demanded.

“I just called over to my ex’s club, and was informed that he is too busy to take my calls. In fact, he told his assistant that he was not to be disturbed at all today. He had important matters to take care of.” Kikyo said.

“So what? He is working. Get off his back.” Inu Yasha said, rolling his eyes.

“You don’t remember, do you?” Kikyo asked.

Inu Yasha stared at her for a minute. “Remember what?”

“Last night, we went to “The Den”, and I told you to stay outside, that I was going to go and talk to my ex. I tried to get back together with him, even though he knew that I cheated on him with you. Well, I found him dancing with another girl, and from the way they were holding each other, they looked as though they were serious. Anyways, I asked him to talk, and he totally humiliated me in front of everyone, but that is not the worst part.” Kikyo said.

Inu Yasha looked at his watch. “Will you hurry the hell up and spit it out. I am going to go and see Kagome.”

“Well, apparently the girl he was dancing with knew you. See, you came up behind me and began to mouth off. The girl he was dancing with came up behind you and confronted you, saying that you were supposed to meet her, and then she decked you. Kouga banned us from the club and threw us out. I had to drag your sorry ass to a cab and brought you home.” Kikyo finished, looking straight at Inu Yasha.

Inu Yasha’s face turned red. Now, he remembered. No wonder his jaw hurt. But, what hurt the most was that Kagome was dancing with another man. He growled low in his throat.

“How dare that bitch dance with anyone but me?” He yelled.

Kikyo stared at him. “Oh, and by the way, she said that you guys were through and the wedding is off. You are hanyou, so why didn’t you just mark her instead?”

“How do you know about demon mating rituals?” Inu Yasha asked, surprised.

“Kouga is a wolf demon. He was going to mark me at our anniversary together, but now that we are finished, I guess that he will find someone else to mark.” Kikyo said, sadly.

Inu Yasha’s brain finished processing all the information. He stood up. “I am going to call Kagome. I need to talk with her.”

Kikyo handed him her phone. She watched as he dialed Kagome’s cell phone, and then placed the phone to his ear.

Kouga had woken up early and left Kagome to go and tell his assistant that he would not be in and to hold all calls. He wanted to spend the day with his new mate and help her move her belongings to their home. When he came back up to the apartment, he gathered all her belongings and brought them into the bedroom. He placed her clothing on his dresser, and her cell phone on his nightstand. He wanted it to be close in case one of her friends called, worried about her. He undressed again and slipped back into the bed with her, cradling her to his body. She sighed in her sleep, and snuggled closer to him. He smiled, and silently had to wonder if he should thank Kikyo for being a whore. He shook off the thought and allowed her scent to invade his nose. He found that her scent soothed him and he sighed. She was totally his, and he would never let her go. She made him feel alive, something he had not felt when he was with Kikyo.

He was shaken out of his thoughts when Kagome’s cell phone began to go off. He growled softly, and picked it up. He decided to answer it.

“Hello?” Kouga asked.

“Who in the fuck is this? Where in the hell is my Kagome?” a loud voice bellowed.

“And who in the fuck are you to be calling my mate? And as to where she is, she is right beside me, in our bed. So, explain yourself.” Kouga demanded.

The voice paused. “You called Kagome your mate. Please don’t tell me that you marked her.”

“I did, and that is none of your business. Now, who are you?” Kouga said, growling into the phone.

“This is her boyfriend, Inu Yasha. Put her on, NOW!” He yelled.

Kouga smirked. “Apparently, you were too drunk to remember. Kagome broke up with you, and called off your wedding. I see that you are not demon enough to follow traditions and mark her, nor are you demon enough not to cheat on her. Of course, what did I ever expect from a filthy hanyou.”

“Why you little bastard! I am coming down there and kicking your sorry ass!” Inu Yasha shouted into the phone.

“You can try, my friend. However, I don’t think that you would like the outcome of your rash actions. You see, I know exactly who you are, and have done some research on you. You are Inu Yasha Taisho, and your brother is Sesshomaru Taisho, the owner of Taisho Inc. You work for him and he has total control over you as far as money is concerned. Now, I used to be in a fraternity during my college days, and guess what? I had a brother named Sesshomaru Taisho. What say I call him up and we catch up on old times, and I mention that you are making a nuisance of yourself to me and my new mate?” Kouga threatened.

“You dirty wolf. I will get you back, just wait. Put Kagome on, she and I have to talk.” Inu Yasha said, clearly irritated.

“No. I will not allow you to talk to my mate and upset her. Good day.” Kouga said, cutting the call and hanging up on Inu Yasha.

“Mmmm, what’s wrong?” Kagome asked, sleepily.

Kouga kissed the top of her head. “Nothing, precious. Go back to sleep, we have all day to get up.”

Kagome sighed and settled back against him. Soon, she was asleep again and he stared at the wall. How dare that half-breed call his mate? Kouga barred his fangs in anger and decided to make Inu Yasha’s life a living hell. He was not going to come between him and Kagome.
Inu Yasha stared at the phone in his hand. He looked up at Kikyo who had tears streaming down her face.

“He mated her?” She asked, her voice cracking.

“Yeah, he mated her. Damn it. What a little whore. She went and fucked the first dick that she came into contact with and now she is mated. I should just leave her to her fate and be done with her.” Inu Yasha said, fuming.

Kikyo sat down. Her head was spinning. Despite all that she had done, she really did love Kouga. Now, he was with another and demon law did not allow for divorces. Plus, wolves mated for life, and he now belonged to Kagome. She let a sob escape from her mouth. She looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

“We will go to the club tonight and speak with the both of them. Kagome owes me an explanation and Kouga owes you one as well. After all, all we did was fuck. They entered into a lifetime commitment.” Inu Yasha told her.

Kikyo nodded. She watched as Inu Yasha approached the door, and let himself out after promising to pick her up around nine o’clock that night. She went into the bedroom and flung her self down on the bed, sobbing into her pillow for her broken heart.

“Sesshomaru Taisho speaking.” Sesshomaru said, irritated that he had been bothered while he was at the gym.

“Sesshomaru, its Kouga. How are you?” Kouga said.

“Kouga? It has been a long time. I am fine, and you are?” Sesshomaru asked, now pleased that his oldest friend was calling him.

“Well, I have recently been mated and now have a slight problem that you might be able to help me with.” Kouga said, knowing full well that Sesshomaru would lend a hand with destroying his brother.

“I see. And does this ‘slight problem’ have a name?” Sesshomaru asked.

“I do believe that you know him. Inu Yasha.” Kouga replied, smirking.

Sesshomaru blinked. What had his idiot brother done to piss Kouga off? “Well, what did he do?”

“My mate is his former girlfriend, Kagome. She found out last night that he has been cheating on her with Kikyo and she dumped him. We really hit it off, and I felt the pull towards her, so I marked her and made her mine.” Kouga explained.
“So, the girl finally saw the truth. Good for her and for you. She is a good girl, Kouga. If not for the fact that she is human, I would have pursued her, but you know how I am. So, what do you want me to do?” Sesshomaru asked.

Kouga told him his plan. When Sesshomaru heard it, he chuckled and quickly agreed. They hung up, and Kouga had a smile on his face. He knew that Sesshomaru would not let him down, after all, they were closer brother’s than he and Inu Yasha were. He heard Kagome get up and pad into his bathroom. He heard the water running and knew that she was now up for the day. It was time to get his mate’s belongings and bring her home.
#####################################################################
It had been a long, but happy day. Kagome could never have imagined that she could be this happy. Kouga had charmed her family and assured them that he did love her and that it was quite natural for a demon to mate very quickly when he found someone that he shared a connection with. Her mom had helped her gather her clothing and personal effects, while Souta had dragged Kouga into the living room to play a video game. Soon, both males were engrossed in the game and had forgotten that they had promised to help with the lifting. But, with her mother’s help, the happy couple was on their way back to their home.

Now, it was time for the club to open and Kouga had told Kagome that he wanted to go down and hang out with his friends. Kagome smiled and told him that she would love to go down. She felt like dancing and talking to Shippo.

Kouga watched as his beautiful mate dressed, and felt his groin grow hot. His bitch was looking delicious as she slid on a pair of form fitting pants and a top that hugged her breasts and left her belly bare. She pulled her hair up into a high ponytail and allowed her hair to cascade down her shoulders. She walked over to her new mate and hugged him. His arms tightened around her and he looked down into her eyes. He bent his head and captured her lips. She pressed against him, rubbing her hips against his.

“Careful, my love. Start with me and we won’t ever get downstairs.” He teased.

Kagome giggled. “Damn, you found me out.”

He released Kagome from his embrace, but caught her hand in his and led her downstairs.

The club was busy, and full. Kagome had gone over and engaged Shippo in what appeared to be an amusing conversation. Kouga could tell that the bartender looked at Kagome as a friend, and so he felt no concern to their relationship. He looked around and smiled when he caught sight of his old friend. He made his way to the tall demon and said, “Its good to see you, Sesshomaru.”

“Good to see you as well. Where is your new mate at?” Sesshomaru asked, looking around.

“She is talking to my bartender. He is the real reason we are together, and they became friends.” Kouga said, leading Sesshomaru over to his table.

Ginta and Hakkaku nodded after Kouga introduced Sesshomaru to them. While the men talked, Kagome had called her friends and invited them to the club. She bumped into Ginta at the bar.

“How do you like the club, Kagome?” Ginta asked, eyeing her up and down. He could see Kouga’s attraction to the young woman. Hell, if she were not mated to his friend, he would be all over her.

“I love it. Umm, I invited my friends here. Do you think that if I went to the door, that I could get them in without cover?” Kagome asked.

Ginta cocked his head. “Sure. Come on. I’ll introduce you to the doorman, and let him know that you are Kouga’s woman. He will do whatever you say or else Kouga will be all over him.” He laughed.

Kagome joined his laughter and was introduced to the doorman, a large looking demon name Goshinki.

After writing her down her friend’s names, she turned and thanked Ginta. He smiled down on her, and told her to behave. Kagome shot him a mischievous grin and turned to sit by the doorman, explaining that she told her friends that she would greet them. True to their word, Sango and Miroku showed up and entered the club.

“Wow, Kagome. I can’t believe you got us into the most popular club in town. This place is awesome.” Sango exclaimed.

“Well, you can thank my mate, Kouga. He owns the club.” Kagome giggled.

Sango and Miroku stared at her as she gave them a run down of what had happened between her and Inu Yasha. When she was done, Sango shot her a smile.

“Good, you finally traded up.” She smirked.

“Well, I don’t know about you two, but I wanna dance, so let’s go.” Miroku said, grabbing their hands and leading them to the dance floor.

The music thumped and had a sexy beat to it. Kagome knew that she was a good dance, and had caused Inu Yasha a number of headaches when she attracted other male’s attentions. Sango and Miroku grinded together wildly, but still in time to the music. Kagome had been approached by a few men and asked to dance, and each time she politely turned them down. There was only one male she wanted to dance with, and from the look on his face, she had most definitely gained his attention.

Kouga was sitting with Sesshomaru, Ginta, and Hakkaku, watching Kagome dance. His eyes began to turn red as thought of him slamming into her silky body ran through his mind. The smirk on his vixen’s face told him she knew exactly what she was doing to him and he growled softly.

Ginta and Hakkaku could only stare. Sesshomaru was interested in the dancing beauty, but turned his eyes to his old friend.

“You have got your hands full, brother. She is a true beauty, and it seems that many of the men in here would agree with me.” Sesshomaru said, catching the sound of Kouga’s growl.

“All I want to do is take her upstairs and take her like a true bitch.” Kouga said, his eyes never leaving Kagome’s body.

Suddenly, the sounds of a loud voice cut through the air, causing the DJ to stop the music. Kouga stood up, along with Sesshomaru, Ginta, and Hakkaku.

Inu Yasha had decided to show and was now confronting Kagome. This was something Kouga could not allow.

Sesshomaru smirked. ‘Let the games begin.’ He thought.
