Memories of You

A/N: Club Pure is a real club in Tokyo. Also the song lyrics featured in this chapter are "More Than Words" by Anthony David. Of course, it goes with out saying that I own neither of these nor do I profit from their use.

~*~


Music was beating out of Club Pure as the car pulled in front. Sango and Kagome felt like stars when they arrived. Miroku escorted them to the front of the line and walked right in to more than a few ugly glares.

The club was a feast for the eyes and the ears. Bodies were shaking to the music and sexual tension was high. The beats seemed to wrap around Kagome and she unconsciously started rocking to the beat.

Miroku leaned to her ear, "Have you ever been here before?"

Kagome turned to him. Excitement sparkled in her eyes. "No, this is amazing!"

Miroku smiled, "I'll give you guys a tour before we head up to the V.I.P."

The club was huge. There were even girls on a stripper pole. Kagome and Sango walked around starry eyed, seeing several famous faces in the crowd. Kagome was sure this was going to be the most rocking night of her life when Sango shouted in her ear.

"Oh my God, this is awesome!"

Kagome nodded in agreement "I know, I know!"

Suddenly Sango squealed. "Come on, let's dance!" She grabbed Kagome by one hand and Miroku with the other and pulled them out to the crowded dance floor.


While they danced, the girls were unaware they were being watched from the moment they hit the dance floor. Inuyasha stood in the V.I.P. section, looking at the club floor below. He watched Sango, Miroku and Kagome dancing together. Two things stunned him. First, Kagome seemed to be copying the moves the girls on the pole were doing. Second, he couldn't believe how sexy Kagome was.

"My Kagome", he thought. After waiting so long, the sight of her called to his inner demon. It took everything in him to resist going to the dance floor and taking her away from the club. He could feel himself start to harden while looking at her wiggle on the dance floor but he knew he couldn't rush things.

A strong hand touched his shoulder. "You have to be patient, little brother."

Inuyasha grunted, " I know. I haven't forgotten."

Sesshomaru looked at the view on the dance floor. "It would seem that your little miko is a fully grown woman now."

Inuyasha nodded in agreement at Sesshomaru's observation. She was indeed. Inuyasha wondered about the outfit she had on. He was ready to take off his jacket to cover her up. Sesshomaru must have felt his thoughts.

"I would suggest you page Miroku and have him to come up. Someone may start feeling brave and I won't have this event ruined with a fight."

Inuyasha glared at his brother but got his cell phone out to text Miroku.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the dance floor, Miroku was in one of his many versions of heaven. He marveled at the beauties in front of him. Resisting the urge to palm both asses, he felt his phone vibrate. Checking the screen, He saw the message was from Inuyasha. It only had 3 words.

"Get up here"

Miroku threw his head back and laughed. He looked up at the V.I.P. area and mockingly bowed. He then took each of the girl's hands.

"Come on. We've been summoned."

Kagome and Sango looked worriedly at each other. They didn't know any one here but Miroku so who could be summoning them?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha sat on the banquette next to Sesshomaru. He knew if he stayed standing, he would only pace the floor. Centuries had led to this moment. Sesshomaru looked at his brother but said nothing. Instead, he put his hand on his arm to calm him.

Miroku entered the V.I.P. area first. He greeted several people and introduced them to Sango and Kagome. When the group arrived at the Maru table, both Kagome and Sango made an effort not to drop their jaws. Kagome couldn't believe that both of the elusive brothers were here. The older one had long, sandy hair and tawny eyes. He was slim and gorgeous. The younger brother’s silky black hair only went to his shoulders. But his violet eyes made him all the more unusual. Kagome had never seen two more yummy men. She felt her mouth go dry and was suddenly self conscious.

‘I knew I should have stayed at home!’ She thought to herself.

Sesshomaru stood up and bowed to both ladies. "I am Sesshomaru and the one next to me with the rude manners is my brother, Inuyasha."

Kagome suddenly wanted to giggle. Inuyasha looked at his brother like he wanted to throw him on the dance floor below. He then looked at Kagome and she felt her heart skip a beat. She felt herself flush and mentally kicked herself.

‘Great, now he thinks I'm crazy or worse, a groupie!’

Miroku nudged her and Sango to the banquette. Kagome found herself sitting with Inuyasha on her left and with Sango on her right. Miroku took his seat next to Sango.

To her surprise, Kagome found Inuyasha easy to talk to. After the initial awkwardness, Kagome found herself discussing her life with him. He asked plenty of questions about her and seemed to be really interested in what she had to say. Kagome found it hard to believe all of the media reports about him being surly when he had only been the perfect gentleman.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled. He couldn't believe how beautiful and happy she was. It made him feel that everything that had transpired was worth it. The only thing he had ever wanted was her happiness. He noticed the song change and she started nodding her head to the music.

"Would you like to dance, Kagome?"

Kagome looked at him stunned and stammered, "Dance...with me? Sure...I mean, if you really want to."

Inuyasha laughed at her and pulled her to the dance floor.

Kagome realized how sexy he was walking behind him. He wore charcoal grey slacks, a black silk shirt, opened to show his muscled chest and a gray blazer that he left on the banquette. The clothes, while not tight, were tailored to show off every inch of his magnificent form. She could tell that he was muscled but not bulky and she knew he was strong by the grip he had on her hand. Kagome felt a tingle in the pit of her stomach and for a brief moment, wondered how he'd look undressed.

Upon reaching the dance floor, Inuyasha opened his arms and Kagome stepped into them.

The song playing was one of her favorites.

I believe that heaven
Must be like this
Ray of sunshine
Kissed upon your skin.
Just say you love me
Make my day go good.
Pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow

Kagome couldn't believe how comfortable she felt in his arms. He smelled good and was so sexy. Besides the lust that was stirring in her, she felt...safe...protected. Kagome scoffed at the thoughts.

‘How can you feel safe with someone you just met and will never see again? This is an international playboy. He may just think you are tonight’s entertainment. What is wrong with you, girl?’

I believe that Love
Is synonymous with heaven
Such a sensual bliss
The way you touch me
Makes this life so good
A reward
At the end of the long road

Inuyasha was bombarded with his own thoughts. He couldn't believe he had Kagome in his arms after all of this. Her scent was still jasmine, mingled with whatever perfume she had on. He wanted to take her and do things that would have both of them howling by morning. Now that he had contact with her again, he knew he wasn't letting her go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night really turned out to be wonderful.  After the first dance, Kagome and Inuyasha talked and shared several more dances.  Sango and Miroku also spent a great deal of time getting to know each other better.  At one point, Sango actually had to smack Miroku after he finally gave in and grabbed her ass.  Kagome was shocked but Inuyasha laughed.  Miroku at least had the grace to look contrite but he still had that twinkle in his eye.
 
The evening ended with Inuyasha taking Kagome home in his own car.  It was a black Infiniti G37 sports coupe with black leather interior.  Kagome reveled in the luxury of the car.  It smelled like Inuyasha’s cologne and it fit his playboy image so well.  He drove the car very fast with one hand on the wheel and the other holding Kagome’s hand on his lap.  She blushed thinking how close her hand was to his manhood.  She could feel the muscular hardness of his thighs.  Kagome shook her head at the thoughts entering her brain.  Every since she had touched him at the club, it was almost as if he was a drug calling her.  She began to feel the pool of lust forming in between her legs.
 
 
‘This is not good!’  Kagome told herself.  ‘You just met him and already you are acting like you’re in heat!’
 
Inuyasha smiled in the darkness of the car.  He could smell the rising lust in Kagome and he knew she was fighting it.  He knew now was not the time to take advantage of the situation.
 
The car pulled in front of Kagome’s building.  Both sat in the car, neither eager to say good night just yet. 

“Well…thanks for the fun evening…” Kagome began but was interrupted by Inuyasha. 
 
“I’m not going to just drop you at the curb,” he smirked, “Besides, you’re wearing my jacket and I’d like to have it back.”
 
Kagome looked down and blushed.  She had been chilly while they were waiting for the valet to bring the car.  Inuyasha had taken off his jacket and wrapped it around her.  She had forgotten she was wearing it.  Inuyasha smiled at her blush.
 
“Come on, I’ll walk you to your door.”
 
Kagome was a bundle of nerves, her thoughts going in a million directions.
 
‘Does he want to come in?  Oh Kami! Is the apartment clean?  I wonder did Sango beat us back?  Should I kiss him good night?’
 
At the last thought, Kagome almost stopped walking.  Being that forward was so not her but there was something about Inuyasha that made her want to throw caution into the wind.
 
'Get a grip, girlie’ Kagome reminded herself.
 
Inuyasha could smell the lust and anxiety pouring off Kagome.  He had known the connection would happen but he hadn’t expected it to be so quick.  He knew he had to tread lightly or risk pushing Kagome away.
 
They now stood outside of her door.  She shrugged out of his jacket and held it out.  “Thanks for the jacket and I really did have a good time tonight.”  

Inuyasha looked at her.  The only thought on his mind was her mouth.  He lifted her chin up, intending a small peck on the lips.  But after the initial peck, he pulled her closer and the kiss deepened.

Kagome was stunned at the rush of lust that poured through her.  Inuyasha’s lips were gentle at first but when he pulled her closer, he became more insistent.  Kagome relaxed into the kissed and her lips parted.  She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tight.  Kagome could feel him hardening against her stomach and had one last coherent thought.
 
‘If he comes inside, I’ll let him do anything he wants’
 
Inuyasha thrust his tongue in Kagome’s mouth and was pleased by the moaning response.  The smell of her arousal was flowing from her and his demon was fighting to rise and take over.  He broke off the kiss and began nipping gently down her neck.  The moans in his ear threatened to send Inuyasha over the edge.  He had one hand tangled in her hair and the other caressing down her back.  When he felt the ties of the bustier, Inuyasha was tempted to untie them and set her breasts free.  Inuyasha growled at the thought of her breasts in his mouth and felt himself go rock hard.  He kept his hands moving until he was cupping Kagome’s ass and pulled her even closer.
 
Kagome wasn’t capable of coherent thought.  All she could do was feel.  She felt the burning trail of his mouth and tongue on her neck and his hands touching and caressing her body.  Some how her own hands had found his shirt and pulled it out of his pants so she could touch his bare skin.  He hands roamed over the muscles in Inuyasha’s back and wanted to go lower.

Suddenly, Inuyasha stopped. “Shit!” He growled in her ear.
 
Kagome turned her head and could have sunk through the floor.  Miroku and Sango were standing in the hallway.  Sango was as red as Kagome but Miroku had a sleazy gleam in his eyes.  He had thoroughly enjoyed the show.
 
Inuyasha kept Kagome pulled close.  The last thing he needed was for Miroku to see the bulge in his pants.  Kagome hid her face against his chest.

‘Oh, Kami!  What was I thinking?  I was almost ready to do him in the hallway!”
 
Miroku came closer.

“We didn’t mean to interrupt.  I just wanted to see Sango safely to her door.”  His voice held a slight edge of teasing.  Sango opened the door and Miroku kissed her chastely on the cheek.
 
“Good night, my sweet.”
 
Sango blushed and closed the door.  Kagome knew Sango would be right on the couch, waiting for details.  Miroku propped up against the wall.  Inuyasha looked at his best friend and growled.
 
“What is it now?”
 
Miroku held up both hands, “I’m just trying to save you from yourself.”
 
 
Inuyasha could feel his erection going down and he took a step back from Kagome but still held on to her.  He started to smile when he looked at her fire red face.  He leaned to her ear.
 
“I had a good time, too.”  He nipped her ear and before she could respond, kissed her again, this time on the cheek.  He opened the door to her apartment.
 
“Get in there before I change my mind.”
 
All Kagome could do was squeak “Good night” and she went in and closed the door.
 
Inuyasha picked up the jacket that had fallen forgotten on the floor. He looked again at Miroku and growled.
 
“Now what?”
 
Miroku shrugged, “I need a ride.  We pulled up a few minutes after you.  We waited with the driver to give you to some privacy but after you took so long, we came in and I sent the driver on.”
 
Inuyasha started walking down the hall.

“I can smell Sango all over you.  You did more than just wait.”
 
Miroku had the good graces to blush.  “Well, we had to occupy our time some how.  But honestly, we did no more than you.”

Inuyasha shook his head.  “Come on.  Let’s get out of here before we both get in trouble.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Kagome stepped in the apartment and sat on the couch next to her best friend.
  
“I don’t know what came over me.  It was like I was possessed.”  She held her face in her hands.  “ I have never been so humiliated in my life.”  She looked at the friend.  “Do you think he thinks I’m a slut ?”
 
Sango’s mortification mirrored Kagome’s “If so, you are no bigger one than me.”
 
Kagome giggled and after a moment, Sango joined her.  What a night this turned out to be! 
  
 
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                                                                                                                                                            
After taking Miroku home, Inuyasha finally made it to his penthouse.  He and Sesshomaru shared a floor at the top of a luxury high-rise building. 
 
‘Who would have thought I would have ever lived this close to that bastard.’  Inuyasha thought as he entered his apartment.  The only goal he had was to get in a cold shower to put down the erection that came back whenever he thought of Kagome.  However, all of his plans were put on hold when there was a knock at the door.  Inuyasha sighed.  He knew immediately who it was.
 
“Even better than a cold shower.”  He mused as he opened the door.

Sesshomaru swept in Inuyasha’s living room.  He sniffed and stared at his brother.
 
“I can smell the miko all over you.”
 
Inuyasha shrugged and took off his shirt.  “Yea?  Well she had on my jacket.”
 
Sesshomaru gave him a look that held centuries of ‘Do you think I’m that dense’.  He walked over to the patio door and went outside.  The sun was starting to rise over Tokyo.  Sesshomaru had taken off his concealment charm and his long silver hair blew in the early morning breeze.  Inuyasha joined his brother looking over the city.  The breeze helped to cool off some of the remaining heat in his loins.
 
“You realize, Inuyasha, that she’ll have to remember and soon.  Any demons near her felt her power, even though she is not aware of them.”
 
Inuyasha continued to stare at the view, refusing to meet his brother’s eyes.
 
“I know.  Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment?  You act like I won’t protect her.”
 
Sesshomaru smirked. “Just make sure you and the monk are thinking with the right heads.  The taijiya has to be brought back as well.  Your miko needs to learn to control her power before someone decides to take advantage of the it and her.”
 
With that, Sesshomaru turned and left.  Inuyasha went and finished undressing.  Before he stepped in the shower, he removed the large silver braided bracelet on his wrist.  In a matter of moments, Inuyasha was looking at long silver hair and amber eyes.  His ears twitched with relief on the top of his head.
 
With the warm water pouring over his body, Inuyasha was at a loss.  He couldn’t figure out a way to help bring Kagome’s memories back without it being a more traumatic experience.  Knowing what she had to relive was going to be hard enough.  He didn’t want to break her mind and her spirit.  He wanted his Kagome back.
