Bar Buddies

A/N: Well, guys...I don't think that there are going to be that many chapters left. I will probably write one chapter tomorrow and then the epilogue. I am busy with my one shots and need to get on Midsummer. So, I have enjoyed writing this fic, and I am happy that you have been able to ride with me. Enjoy
######################################################################

True to his word, Kouga called Kikyo to let her know when and what time he wanted to get together. He told her that he really wanted it to be that very night and that she was to bring the hanyou with her. Kikyo had been very excited and she asked, “Have you decided that you made a mistake and want to get back together with me?” He nearly laughed at how desperate she sounded, but he kept his voice soft and said, “You will have to wait and see, Kikyo. Now, if you will excuse me, I have things to do. Remember, be here at 9 pm.”

After Kikyo agreed, she told him that she loved him and hung up. Kouga scowled at the phone in his hand before setting it in its cradle. Shaking his head, he waited for a few minutes, and then called Sesshomaru to tell him what time he and Kagura needed to be at the club. This was going to be a lot of fun, and he did not want his friend and his companion to miss a single minute of it. When Sesshomaru agreed, both males laughed and bid each other a good day. Kouga’s attention quickly snapped to the door when he heard someone knock.

“What?” Kouga yelled, thinking that it was Ginta with some stupid message for him. However, when the door opened, he saw that it was Kagome standing in the doorway and he quickly made his way over to her. Pulling her into his arms, he asked, “Did you sleep well, my love?”

Kagome yawned and nodded. “I am going to hate to go back to work. Sleeping in late is going to spoil me.” She said as she smiled up at him.

Kouga chuckled. “Well, you could always quit. Besides, with all of the pups we are going to have, you are going to be a very busy lady.” He said, enjoying the look of horror that crossed her face.

“And just how many pups are you wanting? Anymore than four and you are going to have to give birth to them.” She said. When he laughed out loud, she giggled. Pulling her closer to him, Kouga took the time to inhale her scent. However, he was still a little unsure how to approach the subject of what he and Sesshomaru had planned for Kikyo and Inu Yasha, so he would just spill it and hope for the best.

Leading Kagome over to a chair in front of his desk, he gently pushed her to sit in it and he sat down beside her. He smiled at her and then cleared his throat.

“Kagome, you know that Kikyo called me last night, and that I told her that I would call her today to discuss something. Sesshomaru and I are tired of the games Inu Yasha and Kikyo have been playing and we decided to do something about them.” He said, watching his mate closely for her reaction. When she did not say anything, he continued. “I know that Kikyo is a whore, and so Sesshomaru got her to meet him at a hotel and they fucked, but what Kikyo did not know was that there was a video camera taping them. Inu Yasha was also taped having sex with Kagura, an associate of Sesshomaru’s. However, neither of them know that the other cheated. Tonight, we plan to expose them to each other. Kagome, I will understand if you don’t want a part in this, but it is going to happen. If you want, you may stay in the apartment until it is over.”

Kagome stared at her mate for a minute and then said, “Sango and Miroku will want to be there. They have been waiting for something like this for a long time. They can’t stand Inu Yasha.”

Kouga cocked an eyebrow up and asked, “Are you alright, my love?” When she nodded, he asked, “So, will you be there?”

Kagome looked down at her hands. She knew that Inu Yasha deserved to get everything that he was about to get, but she simply could not bring herself to watch. Looking away, she said, “I don’t want you to be angry with me, but I can’t be there. I know that he is getting what he deserves, but for the first few years of our relationship, he was really good to me. I can’t forget about that, and I really don’t want to see him humiliated. Now, Kikyo on the other hand, I would love to see, but I can’t see her humiliation without seeing his. So, I think that I will sit this one out.”

Kouga sighed. Leaning over, he kissed her lips. “Well, then you stay in the apartment and I will come and get you when the festivities are over, ok?” He asked. When she nodded, Kouga stood up and said, “Call your friends. Tell them to be here at nine pm, and tell them what is going on. I have some paperwork that I need to do and I need for you to go to Ginta and put their names on the list of people allowed in tonight.”

Kagome nodded, and with a pat on her backside from Kouga, she left his office and went looking for Ginta. When she found him, the wolf demon was busy speaking to one of the waitresses. She snuck up behind him and listened with amused ears at his pick up lines. She rolled her eyes as the waitress began to giggle. She could not believe that the young demoness was actually falling for that bullshit. Finally, Kagome heard enough and cleared her throat, causing both demons to jump.

Ginta whipped around and found himself looking down into the eyes of his boss’s mate. “Hey, Kagome. What’s going on?” He asked, his dark eyes darting over to the female beside him. The waitress looked embarrassed, and he gently patted her shoulder.

“Kouga told me to come and find you so that I could give you a couple of names to place on the list for tonight.” Kagome replied, smiling at the pair.

Ginta nodded, and grabbed his clipboard. “Ok, what are their names?” He asked. “Sango and Miroku.” Kagome replied. When Ginta nodded, Kagome turned around and made her way back to the apartment.

When she was safely back inside, Kagome went to the phone and dialed Sango’s number. When it was picked up, without even waiting to hear Sango’ voice, Kagome asked, “How would you like to do something very entertaining tonight?”
Miroku chuckled. “What would your mate and Sango say, my sweet Kagome? I am sure that they would have problems with us entertaining ourselves without their supervision.” He said, his tone low and suggestive.

Kagome blushed. “Miroku, is Sango there?” she asked, a blush spreading across her cheeks. Great, now he would hassle her each time he saw her. Well, at least Sango would be around to correct his behavior.

He laughed and called for his girl. When Sango got on the line, Kagome quickly told her what was going on. Sango squealed with excitement and promised to be there. She told Kagome that she would not hang out in the apartment, but she would finally see Inu Yasha get what he deserved.

“After everything he has put you through, damn it, you deserve a bit of satisfaction. Kagome, you need to stop being such a bleeding heart and stand by Kouga. He is your man, not Inu Yasha. You no longer owe that bastard anything. Be there tonight and prove to Kouga that you are his, one hundred percent.” Sango said, her voice firm.

Kagome sighed and told Sango that she would think about her suggestion. She hung up and began to clean the apartment. By the time Kouga came back upstairs, Kagome had their home spotless, much to her wolf’s satisfaction.

“You did a great job, sweetheart.” He said, kissing her forehead. He noticed that she looked a bit troubled and he gently lifted her chin up so that he could look into her eyes.
“What’s wrong, Kagome?” He asked.

Kagome took in a deep breath and said, “I changed my mind. I will be there tonight.”

Kouga blinked and then smiled. “If that is what you want, you are more than welcomed to join us. Now, do you want to help me with something?” He asked. When she nodded, he took her hand and led her back downstairs.

Kagome smiled as she noticed that the bouncers and waitresses were setting up chairs and tables. Kouga led Kagome to the bar and she smiled at her favorite kitsune, who gave her a quick peck on her cheek.

Kouga grinned. “I need you to set up the buffet table. I want to make sure that our guests are comfortable and well-fed. Especially Sesshomaru. The guy can pack away the food, but the lucky bastard never gains weight.” He joked.

Kagome smiled and nodded. With Shippo’s help, they got three large tables and covered them with tablecloths. Kagome then saw several platters being brought out by the waitresses and she arranged the platters on the table as best she could. She placed plates, napkins, and forks at the end of the table. She watched as Shippo filled a large tub with ice and placed cans of soda, beer, and wine coolers into it and then covered the drinks with ice. Finally, Kouga announced to her that it was time to get ready and that she had done a great job. The waitresses were told to greet guests and the bouncers were there in case Inu Yasha tried anything funny.

Kouga hurried Kagome up the stairs and locked them into the apartment. He watched as his mate went into the bedroom and he quickly followed, pulling his clothing off as quickly as he possibly could. Before she could go into the bathroom, he grabbed her wrist and pushed her to their bed. He smiled when he heard her laugh and quickly undressed her.

They gave the term ‘quickie’ a whole new meaning, and finally found their way into the shower. As they washed, Kouga grinned at how humiliated both Kikyo and Inu Yasha were going to be at seeing their lover in the arms of another. He glanced over at Kagome, who was finishing with her hair. She was about to step out, but he stopped her. Turning her to face him, he smiled down at her and assured her that if she really did not want to see the outfall, he would not be upset with her, but she shook her head and grabbed his hand.

“No, you know what is best in this situation, and I will stick by what you decide.” She replied, kissing his knuckles.

Kouga grinned. Yes, he had definitely chosen well for himself. He turned off the water and grabbed the towel that Kagome held out to him. He wrapped it around his waist and grabbed another towel for his hair. He pulled the damp strands up into a ponytail and went into the bedroom to dress.

Pulling on jeans and a tight-fitting shirt, yelled at Kagome that he would be downstairs and would save her a seat. She waved at him and he grabbed his socks and boots before walking into the living room. He looked out of the large glass window and saw that Sesshomaru and Kagura had arrived along with Kagome’s friends. He pulled on his socks and boots before walking out of the apartment and down the stairs.

“Hey, Kouga. Where is Kagome?” Sango asked. She smiled at the wolf demon and silently praised Kagome on such a catch. She glanced over at Miroku, who now had a waitress’s hand in his and he was delivering his famous line. However, the waitress glared at him and smacked him before Sango could even utter a word. Nodding her satisfaction, Sango turned back to Kouga, who had also witnessed the scene.

“She is upstairs. Go on up, the door is unlocked.” He said, giving Sango a slight push. He watched as Sango grinned up at him and then walk up the stairs. When she was inside the apartment, he turned to Miroku, who was now holding ice to his cheek.

“You know, you have a very lovely mate. Why do you go after other women when you have a woman as beautiful as her on your arm?” Kouga asked.

Miroku rubbed the back of his neck. “Honestly? I want her to pay attention to me, but the only times that she does pay attention is when my hand is on her backside or if I am flirting with another woman.” He replied.

Kouga nodded. Ok, he supposed that made sense, in a weird and twisted way. He smiled when he saw Kikyo and Inu Yasha arrive. Smirking, he made his way over to the couple and said, “Welcome. The buffet is open so grab a plate and drink. I think that there are two seats up front, so why don’t you grab them. You will have a better view.”

Kikyo gave her former lover her sweetest smile and cooed, “Kouga, it was so nice of you to bring us here, and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us.”

Kouga grinned. “It will be something to remember, for all of us.” He replied, his blue eyes twinkling.

After he left the couple, Inu Yasha growled and said, “I don’t like this. Something tells me that this is a set-up.”

“Ok, Inu-honey. Relax. This is going to be a scream.” Kikyo replied, rolling her eyes. She grabbed a plate and began to dish out some of the macaroni salad that was provided. She heard a door slam and turned to see Kagome and Sango trotting down the stairs, holding hands. She smirked. ‘That’s right. Enjoy it while you can. When Kouga tells everyone that he wants me back, you can have your stupid hanyou back, or if Kouga doesn’t work out, I can always have Sesshomaru to fall back on.’ She thought.

Kouga called for everyone to take their seats, and Kikyo motioned for Inu Yasha to follow her. She settled in the front row and smiled lovingly up at Kouga. She looked over to the side and saw Kagome glaring at her, and Kikyo grinned. She could not wait for the waterworks to begin.

Kouga smirked as he watched Kagura and Sesshomaru come out of hiding. They took seats behind Inu Yasha and Kikyo, and turned their attention to him.

Clearing his throat, Kouga said, “I would like to welcome everyone who is here for this special occasion. As you all know, I have recently just mated to a very beautiful woman and I am finding that mated life is a lot better than the single life. However, not everyone will agree with me. You see, some people who are in a relationship do not know how to keep their hands to themselves, and it is not often that they are caught. Well, unknown to these people, their little rendezvous was filmed and I would like for you to sit back and enjoy tonight’s feature presentation. I like to call this piece, “Debbie Does A Dirty Hanyou.” Hit the lights.”

The lights dimmed and the televisions came on. Suddenly, there was Inu Yasha on the television screen and he was kissing a woman whose face was blurred out. The woman was slowly taking off his tie and he was moaning. The bulge in his pants was noticeable and the woman began to feel him up, saying how big he was and that he must be popular with the ladies.

Soon, the couple were on the bed and going wild. As Inu Yasha climaxed, he howled and the woman cried out, but to anyone who had ears, the woman clearly faked it.

The crowd howled with laughter and one guy with dark hair that was braided down his back looked at his watch and said that it hadn’t even been five minutes. That caused everyone to crack up and point at the humiliated hanyou in the front row.

Kikyo shrieked and jumped up. She smacked Inu Yasha across the face and screamed that he was a cheater.

Inu Yasha stared at the television. His entire world had just exploded. When he finally was able to move, he turned his head and he looked over at Kagome. He expected to see her with a huge grin upon her face, but instead, her head was lowered and he could see that she was upset. He felt Kikyo smack him and call him a cheater.

Kikyo raged and she continued to hurl insult and insult at him, but then Kouga coughed and said, “Kikyo, you might want to sit down. We have another video. Trust me, it is also interesting.”

Kikyo shook her head. “I don’t need to see anymore evidence of his faithlessness. I am sick of it.” She spat.

Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow and snorted. Kouga grinned and said, “Well, this next video is special. I think that you will enjoy it.”

Kikyo huffed and folded her arms. Suddenly, a very familiar-looking hotel room came onto the television screen and Kikyo paled. She closed her eyes and heard her own voice.

Inu Yasha’s anger grew rapidly as he watched his brother and girl fool around. He listened as Kikyo and Sesshomaru talked about her love of money and then they began to fool around. He closed his eyes when Kikyo began moaning. It was clear to him that he had let the wrong woman go.

Kikyo was shaking with anger. How dare they. She could hear the snorts of amusement all around her and she glared up at Kouga. The wolf demon was standing beside his mate and whispering softly to her. The girl’s eyes were closed and she was nodding.

Kikyo heard a screeching moan and she quickly looked over at the television to see her own mouth hanging open and a line of drool spilling from the corner. Disgusted moans were heard and finally, Kikyo stood up and marched over to the televisions and shut them off.

“How dare you, Kouga? Why would you do such a hideous thing?” She demanded, tears forming in her dark eyes.

Kouga smirked and pointed over at Sesshomaru. “Don’t give me all the credit, Sesshomaru helped.” He said, smirking.

Kikyo whirled around and found herself looking into a very pair of cold, golden eyes. She stalked towards him and screamed, “YOU SICK AND TWISTED BASTARD!” She allowed her hand to fly and suddenly the room grew very quiet.

Inu Yasha was many things, but stupid was not one of them, and he wisely stood up and moved away. Once Sesshomaru got his hands on Kikyo, there would be no stopping him.

Sesshomaru felt the ache in his cheek. He lifted his hand up and felt the area that Kikyo had injured. He glared at her and stood up, knocking over his chair.

Kikyo gulped and then narrowed her eyes. “You had it coming, you stupid fuck. I am going to sue the hell out of all of you for invading my privacy.” She said, her entire body shaking.

“You can try, my dear. However, you won’t be able to prove anything. Everyone here wanted to see your downfall, and will testify that they don’t know what you are talking about. Now, since you are spouting off about suing people, let me tell you this, you try and sue either Kouga or me, I will sue your ass for striking me, and I will have every single person in this establishment testify that they saw you do it.” Sesshomaru said, his eyes dancing in amusement.

Kikyo looked over at Inu Yasha. “Come on. We are leaving.” She said. She began walking to the exit. When she looked behind her, the hanyou was not behind her. Instead, he was standing by his chair and looking at the ground.

“Kikyo, find your own way home. My brother and I need to talk.” Inu Yasha said. Sesshomaru snorted. This should be interesting.

Kikyo frowned. She leaned up against the door and sighed. When would her humiliation end?

Sesshomaru glared at his brother. “Talk. You said that you wanted to talk, so do it now.” He ordered.

Inu Yasha looked up at his older brother and said, “In dad’s will, when he left the company to you, he made a provision that states that you cannot through me out of the company, no matter what. If you should try, the company will automatically be handed over to me and it will be you who is thrown out of a job. However, I am willing to overlook that little contract you had me sign, seeing as how its not any good anyways, and won’t go to father’s attorney to assert my right. That being said, I will see you Monday.”

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. He had known exactly what was in his father’s will, but he had not been aware that Inu Yasha also knew. Damn. He was correct, and now, Sesshomaru was stuck with the little bastard.

Kouga watched as his friend fumed. He turned his gaze on the hanyou, who was now making his way to the door. Kikyo jumped up and tried to grab his hand, but her jerked away from her and said, “It’s over. I don’t want any part of you.”

Kikyo’s mouth dropped open and she watched as the hanyou walked out of the club. Kouga cleared his throat and said, “Oh, Kikyo. Before I forget, you are still banned from this club. Leave, now.”

Kikyo glared at the wolf and quickly left the club. She had to catch Inu Yasha and explain things to him. After all, it was not her fault that she was always horny.

She got to the parking lot in time to see him pull out onto the street and drive past her. He did not even spare her a glance. She lowered her head and felt the tears form. This night had been horrible.
