SOUL DEVOTION

Chapter IV

It was raining very hard and fast, and by every passing minute, the pace grew faster. Slowly the night was taking over the daylight. The dark, cold autumn night was almost here. Big puddles were forming on the deserted streets of Tokyo; so big, that the sewer couldn't suck the water anymore. But the rain and the cold night didn't prevent two people from meeting.

Both of them were wearing black leather coats and were dressed in black, like the night itself.

''You are late,'' the woman with cold, dark red eyes stated. Her hair was messed up because of the rain and her make up was running down her face.

''You know I'm never on time,'' he said, smirking at her, while leaning on his black and red motorcycle.

She didn't smile back; she ignored him rather. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a white envelope and handed it to him. He gladly took it.

''He wants to know your answer in two days,'' she said, while zipping up her coat.

''Sure thing, Kagura. Two days it is,'' he answered back, investigating the envelope.

''I mean it, Yash. You don't want to get him mad. Do you now?'' Kagura said in an alluring voice, a creepy smile forming on her face. Licking her lips, she looked at the rain-soaked man.

''Maybe,'' he repeated, with an equally alluring voice, his face nearly touching hers.

''Well, don't,'' bringing her tongue out, she licked his chin and then took a small step back.

Just then, a black Mercedes drove down the street and stopped where the two were standing.

She climbed in and closed the door. Then she slowly rolled down the window and looked directly into Inuyasha's honey, gold eyes.

''Two days, Inuyasha. Two days,'' with that, the car took off, leaving Inuyasha alone with his motorcycle in the cold, rainy night, wondering.

SOUL DEVOTION

What's the saying? Oh yeah, after rain comes sunshine. Always. It's true. The evidence of the rain yesterday night was almost gone, the sun was shining so brightly you could think that the winter was already over; that spring had already done it's job and that summer was coming. But sadly as it is, September was here and autumn was slowly starting.

The household of the Higurashi Shrine was slowly losing its colors. The leaves on trees were slowly falling to the ground, leaving grandpa Higurashi more work to do. He, in his kimono, slowly swept the already fallen leaves, making room for the people who visited the Higurashi shrine, so they could properly walk. He stopped for a minute and looked around. His eyes rested on the 500 year old tree, the Goshinboku. Such memories. Shaking his head a little bit, he started yet again to sweep the floor, but minutes later he was interrupted by a shriek and an explosion that came from the dojo. He let his broom fall to the ground and with all his might, he moved to the dojo.

''What on earth are you two doing?'' he shrieked, as he opened the door to reveal his two grand children, Kagome and Souta, who were both currently lying on the floor.

''Oh, nothing. We were just doing some sparring,'' Souta was the first to have the energy to move into a sitting position and who built up the courage to answer his grandfather.

''And then we got a little carried away,'' added Kagome, as she also sat up, directly looking at her grandfather's angry face. He was mad, oh boy was he mad. Kagome and Souta, seeing his angry face, looked at each other and then back at their grandpa. With a droop of their eyes, they apologized. ''We're sorry Jii-chan''

Sighing, Shin Higurashi looked again at his grand children before saying. ''I'm not going to say that it is O.K. Thank god your mother isn't here, she would spank you thousands of times, if you know what I mean.'' The last statement caused the Higurashi teenagers to wince, as they remembered their mother's evil punishments.

''Well, just don't let it happen again. Be more careful with your powers in the future and don't get carried away again,'' he stated firmly. Souta and Kagome nodded their heads in a yes before standing up and adjusting their clothes.

''Alright,'' he nodded at them and then looked around at the half broken dojo. ''Now, I'm going back to my sweeping and you two-,'' he pointed at them, ''-are going to clean and fix this up. By the end of the day, I want this place shining and spotless!'' With that, he left, slamming the door close.

''He is mad,'' stated Kagome.

''Yep, he is really mad,'' agreed Souta, but then his lips turned into a perverted smile. ''He needs to get laid.''

Kagome looked at Souta in disbelief. ''Souta!'' she yelled, before she hit her brother with her sweater, that she, minutes ago, had tied to her waist.

''Hey! I was only kidding...Stop hitting me! Ouch! '' he yelped, as Kagome hit him over the head.

''You know, for that, you are going to pay!'' he yelled, as he started to tickle her.

''Ah! - Souta - stop - it!'' she cried out, laughing.

''Do you give? Do you gi-'' but he was cut off by a booming sound outside.

''SOUTA! KAGOME!''

They both 'eeped' at the volume of the sound. Quickly, they stood up and ran to find the tools, so they could fix the dojo.

Two hours later, the dojo was shining and spotless. Just the way there grandfather ordered.

''Finally!'' exclaimed Kagome and let herself fall on the floor. ''Now I have just enough time to take a shower and then get ready.''

''Ready for what?'' asked Souta, one eye on her and one closed. He was also sitting on the floor, while also leaning his head on the wall.

''For Kazzana's party, that I'm attending today,'' she said, with out much care in her voice.

Souta looked at her with both eyes, deciding if he should worry or not, ''Well, just don't do anything stupid. O.K.?''

Kagome gave him a little glare before answering, ''For who do you take me?''

''Oh, just for Kagome Higurashi - Shichinintai. Nobody else,'' he said, a small smirk playing on his lips, as he teased his little sister.

''Well, this Kagome Higurashi - Shichinintai needs to get ready to be the star of the party,'' she said, her own smirk playing on her lips, as she exited the dojo.

SOUL DEVOTION

''So, are you sure this is it? This is where the party is being held?'' asked Kagome in awe.

''Yep. This is it. The Wind Tunnel Club. Pretty cool, huh?'' said Rin, and took Kagome's hand in hers, pulling her toward the entrance.

''But, but, there are so many people waiting. There is such a big line. How can we possibly get in, without waiting in the line?'' asked Kagome, confused, as Ayame and Rin dragged her toward the entrance of the Wind Tunnel Club.

''Simple, we just show him our invitations.-'' said Ayame and showed the bouncer their invitations. He politely smiled at them and let them in. The other people groaned.

''-See?'' she added, as the three made their way in. The club was very nice, people were everywhere, waitresses were serving the drinks, the dancing floor was full and the music was blasting out of the loudspeakers.

''How come Kazzana can afford this kind of a party in such an expensive Club?'' asked Kagome, as they made their way toward an empty table.

''Because his family owns it. Actually, his uncle and mother own it and if you ask me how I know all this, my mother works here as a waitress and she's also good friends' with Miroku's mom,'' said Rin as she took off her coat. Just then a waitress came.

''What can I get you?'' she asked through the music and looked at the three girls.

''I'll have a gin tonic,'' answered Rin

''Malibu,'' said Ayame

'''Water, just normal water for me,'' ordered Kagome.

The waitress smiled at them, ''O.K., coming right up.''

''So, what do you think so far?'' Asked Ayame, leaning towards Kagome so she could hear her.

''Nice. Very nice.'' Answered Kagome looking around a bit.

''Wait 'till it gets a little late. Then this place will be blasting up.'' Rin said, her eyes full of excitement.

Minutes later their drinks arrived. For half an hour or so, they just talked and teased each other about various things, like boys, boys, and boys.

''So, Kagome, tell me. Who was that handsome guy that answered your door?'' asked Rin.

''Uh, you mean Souta? That is my older brother that I was talking about,'' said Kagome and took a sip from her water.

''Sexy, right Rin?'' said Ayame looking at Rin, whose cheeks turned a little red.

''Well, yeah. I really think he has a nice butt. Does he work out a lot?''

That comment made by Rin, surprised Kagome very much, so much that it made her choke on her water a little bit.
''Sorry,'' she apologized, before she continued, ''Yeah, when he has some spare time, he likes to work out.''

''Well, tell him to keep it up. He really has a nice butt,'' said Rin and also took a sip from her gin tonic.

''If you are talking about me, I already know that my butt is the nicest, the greatest, and the sexiest in this world,'' came a masculine voice behind the three girls.

Recognizing the voice Rin turned around and quickly hugged the person while squealing.

''Miro-Chan!''

''Hey, Rin! Glad you made it. And who are your lovely friends?'' he asked, giving Ayame and Kagome a nice, charming smile.


''Well, you already know Ayame.-''She said, Miroku nodded and then looked at Kagome.''-and this girl here, in the black, is Kagome.'' She finished. Miroku turned to Kagome and, like a gentleman would do, he took her hand and kissed it lightly.
''Pleasure to meet you, Kagome''

Kagome returned the smile. ''No, the pleasure is all mine.''

Miroku straightened his back again and looked at the three girls. ''Well, nice seeing you girls, now I need to run and welcome other people. Have a blast and if you need something, just find me and I'll make things right.'' With a last smile, he left the three to ponder.

''So what now?'' asked Ayame as Miroku left.

''Lets dance!'' said Rin excited and pulled Ayame with her.

''Yeah, why not,'' said Ayame, smiled Ayame. ''You coming Kagome?'' she asked when she noticed that her friend did not move to follow them.

''I think I'll pass. Thanks for the invitation, though. I'm just not feeling up to it for now, but you twog o and have fun,'' she said while looking at her two friends.

''I think I'll just go and order something more to drink. I'll meet you back at this table. O.K.?'' she asked looking at them.

Kagome sighed, she was in no mood to dance, for now. Maybe later. She stood up from the table and went to the bar, to get herself a new drink. She sat down and was greeted by a small boy with orange hair, no older than 15 years.

''Hey, what can I get you?'' he asked, as he cleaned the glasses across her.

She smiled at him, ''Just water, please.'' He nodded and went to get her water.

''Water. Excellent choice, Higurashi. Free of poison,'' said a man, who was also leaning on the bar.

''Well, I don't intend to get drunk right away,'' she said, turning to the man across from her. He was familiar to her, black coat, silver-white hair and honey-gold eyes. 'Inuyasha Takahashi, we meet again.'

''Oh, really now?'' Inuyasha asked, giving her a seductive smile.

''Really,'' she assured.

He looked around the club and then directly at her before asking, ''How come you aren't dancing?''

''Well I could ask you the same question,'' Kagome answered, as she turned her whole body toward him, so she was now facing him.

''Didn't find any girl worth it. I'm very picky about these things ya' know. Your turn.''

''Almost the same, but I couldn't find any boy to be worth my time,'' she muttered a small thanks to the bartender who gave her the water. Inuyasha also turned to him, as he received his drink. He nodded at the small guy, who nodded in return and then left, preparing more drinks.
''Well, am I worth it? 'Cause you are sure a girl worth to dance with,'' Inuyasha said, giving her a charming smile. Kagome looked him up and down, thinking hard if he was worth it or not.

Finally she straightened her back and looked at him once more, then she smiled at him and took his hand into hers, leading him to the dance floor.

''Ah, c'mon. Let's dance,'' she said, as she led him to the dance floor. He was following her, confused and surprised, but those expressions quickly changed as they arrived at the very middle of it. Slowly, the two started moving to the beat of the music.

Their bodies moved perfectly together. Inuyasha's hands sometimes moved to her hips, to bring her closer to him. They were close, their bodies were inches apart. They really enjoyed each other's presence.

Kagome suddenly turned around, so her back was facing his firm chest. She was feeling a little bit kinky tonight so she started rubbing on him, which caused Inuyasha to smirk.

The music slowly faded away and a slow song came on.

Kagome recognizing the song, turned back, so now she was facing Inuyasha again. Her hands came around his neck and his around her waist. They slowly moved their bodies to the slow beat of the music.

''You smell very nice,'' Inuyasha whispered against her ear, while also sending shivers down her spine.

Kagome was taken back, she really didn't expect him to comment on how nice she smelled.

The song slowly came to an end. Inuyasha for the last time took Kagome's hand and thrilled her beneath him. Then in a quick motion, he brought her up to him, face to face, brushing his lips on hers. ''It was a pleasure to dance with you, Ka-go-me.'' Then he kissed her and she gladly returned the kiss. The battle of the tongues had begun. Kagome's hands soon found there way into Inuyasha's long, thick hair, while his hands went to her waist, bringing her closer to him. She moaned into the kiss, as Inuyasha brought her closer. Seconds later they both parted so they could bring some air into their lungs. Still in his embrace, Kagome took a peek at Inuyasha.

''So, what now?'' she asked.

Inuyasha shrugged, while taking her hand into his and leading her away from the dance floor.

''Wanna go and shoot some pool?''

''Sure. But I gotta warn you, I have never lost a game before,'' she smirked.

''Neither have I," he smirked back.

SOUL DEVOTION

''It seems that our little Kagome has made a move,'' a black haired man spoke into the air, as he drank his drink with a pink straw.

Soon another voice came from behind his ear, ''I knew something was up. Keep me updated.''

''Yes, sir,'' the man answered into a badge, a tiny hidden microphone, before blowing bubbles into his drink and slurping it loudly.

''Oh, and Jakotsu, STOP WITH THE DAMNED STRAW!''

''Sorry, sir,'' Jakotsu pouted and chewed on the end of his pink straw.

SOUL DEVOTION

''So how long have you been in America?'' asked Inuyasha, as he looked at the beautiful maiden, who was adjusting her stick to the right coordinates, so the ball would go into the right hole.

''Since I was thirteen,'' she answered and exactly as she aimed, the ball went right in the hole.

''Bulls eye,'' she moved on the other side of the table and hit the little white ball, which went and bumped into a yellow ball, sending it into a hole. ''Bulls eye again.'' she said and licked her dry lips. Inuyasha looked at her as she once again hit the ball, sending it into the hole.

''You were serious when you said that you never lost.''

''Dead serious,'' she said, before sending the last, black ball into the hole. Looking up at Inuyasha, she smiled.

''So, want a re-match?''

''Do I ever,'' he said, as he put another coin in to the pole table.

SOUL DEVOTION

''OK. We are officially even. Three to three. Deal?'' Kagome said, as Inuyasha let the last ball roll into the hole.

''Deal,'' Inuyasha agreed, as he went and put the sticks in their places.

In the mean time, Kagome went and sat down at a bar. Soon, Inuyasha joined her.

''So, what can I get you?'' the bartender asked.

''Coke for me,'' ordered Kagome.

''And I'll have a coke with a Whiskey.''

On her barstool, Kagome turned to him, giving him a curious look. ''Isn't it Whiskey with coke?''
