Chapter Two
InuYasha paced slowly back and forth in front of Hard Bodies Bar and Grill. He’d only arrived on the scene a half hour earlier. He’d expected to have been there by now but it looked as if he was running behind coming from his appointment with his wife Sango. InuYasha couldn’t really fault him. Those two had had a rough patch early in their marriage due to Miroku’s infidelity. InuYasha couldn’t understand how Miroku had treated a woman as loving and kind as Sango so poorly.
InuYasha supposed it was a case of not realizing what he’d had until it was gone. And she’d gone, and stayed that way for over a year. That was the lowest InuYasha had ever seen his old friend. In the beginning Miroku had chalked Sago’s leaving off, saying she would eventually return. But as the months pushed forward, Miroku began to realize what everyone else around him had long ago discovered. Sango had finally decided to move on without him or at least had tried to. Miroku wasn’t willing to let the woman he’d been with since college go without a fight.
The relationship was so broken, when they first started to piece it back together everyone was sure they’d chosen and impossible feat, but Sango and Miroku had proven them all wrong. Miroku worked his ass off rebuilding the trust and healing her hurt. Miroku’s efforts paid off. Two years after they’d first divorced, they’d remarried, and were on their second kid. If that wasn’t a case of love conquering all.
InuYasha paused scanning the building front. Pictures of various hard bodied men were painted onto the glass. The building wasn’t much to look at from the outside. In fact if he had to place it into words, he would say it looked like and old shrine. He turned slowly looking out towards the parking area. Palm trees were scattered over the landscape giving the area an almost island feel. The black top was huge, and seemed to go on forever. InuYasha wondered if all those empty spaces were ever filled. He supposed he’d find out once he was hired.
“InuYasha?” A voiced called from behind him. InuYasha turned to see Miroku rushing across the parking lot, headed towards him. Speak of the devil, InuYasha grinned as Miroku stopped in front of him. “Have you been waiting long,” Miroku panted.
“About a half hour.” InuYasha replied. “SI take it by the smile your wearing the doc must have given you some welcomed news. So, what are you having?this time.”
“A boy,” Miroku answered, as he started up the stairs to the front entrance.
“Keh-great! Another goddamned letch,” InuYasha teased, and they both fell into laughter. InuYasha followed along behind Miroku analyzing the scenery they passed. The thought of the huge parking lot loomed in the back of his mind until InuYasha finally asked Miroku what he’d wondered about since arriving. “So tell me , does this place see a lot of business.”
“Need you ask?” Miroku replied, pointing towards the large room they’d entered.
InuYasha asked looking over the large room. The ceilings were littered with countless strobes and speakers. A single large aquarium covered the expanse of one wall, and was filled with an assortment of fish InuYasha couldn’t begin to name. They were all colors, red and yellow, silvers and every shade of blue and very, very expensive. There were two bars and seating for at least one hundred if not more people.
‘Shit! Are you trying to say this place gets that much business.”
“And more.” Miroku smiled. Hell, I wish I’d thought of it first. I mean, we know about the Chip and Dales, but what Kouga has going on here is so much more than that. “
“So, your friends name is Kouga?”
“Yep, we met after you and I went to separate colleges. He was my room mate first year. Kouga was pretty quiet until I got my hands on him.” Miroku chuckled “ I showed him the ropes. Everything he knows about women, he learned from me.”
“Keh-so, you turned him into a letch?”
“Some would say that, but I disagree.” Miroku wiggled his eyebrows and grinned as they walked down a short corridor. “Now you should do alright for yourself here. I mean the tips alone should keep your pockets nice and heavy.”
Keep his pockets heavy. huh? This was definitely a welcomed bit of news. He and Kagome needed all the extra cash they could get their hands on. All there was left to do, was get on staff, but he was sure he’d have no problem with this since he worked out every night for two hours to keep his body toned. InuYasha was positive he was what this Kouga guy was looking for. He had no idea how truer his thoughts could have been.
They reached the end of the hall where a single office lay. Miroku knocked on the door, and was urged in by a deep voice resonating from the inside of the room. Miroku pushed the door open and istantly fell into conversation with whoever lay just inside. Inuyasha listened as their voices became rowdy as the tow males exchanged playful banter. InuYasha clenched his stomach. Damn he was feeling nervous. It was no big deal he told himself, hoping to ease the knot that had formed in his gut, but the knot wasn't listening and seemed to only tighten more as he passed through the office entrance.
InuYasha looked over the office space. A nice sized aqarium sat in the corner and same as the one he'd spotted in the lobby was filled with expensive, brightly colored fish. Next to the Aqarium sat a long j shaped black leather sofa with oversized pillows. And directely infront of tht, a complete entertainment system, with video games, divo, and flat screen television centered on the wall. This Kouga guy was definitely living the life, Inuyasha thought turning his gaze over to Miroku and the male he sat conversing with.
Inuyasah eyes settled on Mirokus companion and found himself suddenly captivated by the raven haired male that sat behind the desk near the office window. He had bronzed skin with long flowing ebony hair which he wore loose, allowing it to cascade across his shoulders. Pale blue eyes and extremely thick long dark lash. So this was Kouga. He was pretty hot for a guy. Not that he was looking. Cause he wasn’t gay or anything, InuYasha quickly cast his eyes to the floor, feeling hot with embarrassment. What the fuck was that all about, he silently screamed, giving himself one hell of a mental shake.
“You must be InuYasha.” A hand was shoved under InuYasha’s face, bringing him out of his stupor.
“Yeah,” InuYasha stammered, accepting the man’s gesture of a handshake. InuYasha straitened his shoulders and forced his gaze to meet Kouga’s. This was painful. Terribly painful. One minute he’s ogling another guy who was even hotter up close than he had been afar. He was slightly taller, but only by one inch, maybe two inches. Shiny ebony strands of hair fell heavy over his brow and down the sides of his lean face,adding to the allure of his nearly translucent blue eyes. InuYasha swallowed hard hoping, wishing the other man would back up and grant him space, because his body was already reacting in ways he wasn’t too proud of.
“Well, I must say, Miroku was right in his description of you,” Kouga said as he began to slowly circle InuYasha. “Your hair is definitely unique in its color, platinum. Cut to the shoulders. Your natural color, I’m assuming?” Kouga paused in front of InuYasha their eyes linking briefly before he continued to walk around like a predatory cat trapping its prey. “ Your eyes are large, colored brandy with flecks of gold. Nice! You face is lean, smooth, no markings. Your lips are full pink, kissable. So far so good.” Kouga grinned as he walked over to his desk and took a seat. Take off you shirt, InuYasha. Let me get a look at, the-you beneath that stuffy attire you’re wearing.”
What in the hell? Stuffy? Kagome had picked out his blazer and slacks. And what in the hell did he mean by take off his shirt? InuYasha shot Miroku an glare. “What the fuck is this, Miroku? You said no stripping, only waiting tables.”
“There is no stripping here,” Kouga intervened. “But our uniforms do require that the wearer have a certain physique. After all, the women, and yes, even men, come hear to look at their fantasy men. A guy with a beer belly doesn’t exactly fall into category of dream guy. So, before I hire you, I need to see first hand if you are-” Kouga words trailed off as he sucked his bottom lip in, then released it with a pop. Kouga’s eyes roamed over InuYasha’s body with slow, and primal scrutiny. InuYasha was trying his best to ignore it, but in truth he was enjoying the look the other man gave him. “proportioned for the job.” Kouga finally finished, as their eyes connected.
Was Miroku noticing all of this? God he hoped not, because he wasn’t gay. Shit it wasn’t as if he met guys everyday that made his cock hard. It was just this guy. This guy for some reason-InuYasha gave himself another mental shake. He’s a guy, you’re a guy. Get it together. He focused back on Koga and hurriedly undressed until he stood in only his slacks and shoes.
InuYasha could feel the muscles in his stomach knotting as he was subjected to Kouga's acute observation . The sooner the entire ordeal was over, the better. He would forget about this little incident, and move forward.
“ It looks as if you have excellent muscle definition. Your stomachs so tight I could pop a quarter off of it. Your legs are long and lean. Your arms as well. You really should be proud of your hard work. It’s paying off nicely. Of all the men who have crossed over the thresh of this office to exibit their bodies for pre-employment examination, your body, Inuyasha, has to be the most perfect I've seen yet. My analysis Mr. Takahashi is, you have wholesome all American look, and a body to back it up. I can definitely see myself working with you. Welcome to Hard Bodies, InuYasha.”

“I can definitely see myself working with you.”
Kouga’s last words had hung with InuYasha most of the evening and well into the night. InuYasha sighed, and adjusted his cock that had been stiff consistently since his meeting with Kouga earlier in the day. Now it was damn near 2.a.m. and here he was wide awake, horny as hell, staring up at his bedroom ceiling. What the fuck had he meant by he could see himself working with him. Was he coming on to him? InuYasha wondered. No way. He’d asked Miroku in an around about way about Kouga and his sexuality, and Miroku had assured him the guy was as strait as an arrow.
He was just imagining it. The tension, the way his skin had felt hot and prickly under Kouga’s penetrating blue gaze. Keh, it was a reaction from having to go without sex due to Kagome being on her period, he silently told himself. Humph, yeah that explained everything, he smiled. He was pre aroused, and the way the guys hair fell in his face, made him look kind of girly like. And of course hot chicks make him hot. And here he was getting himself worked up over nothing. Keh-InuYasha rolled onto his side, and pulled Kagome into his arms. He needed to get all of his rest considering he would start his new job at waiting tables at Hard Bodies on tomorrow. As a strait guy who liked girls of course, cause he wasn’t gay.
