Chapter 7

Parts.

She sat down on her chair and closes her eyes. She had changed into a halter mini dress, tying at the neck, pleated ruffled hem, deep plunge V-neck, that dips to her navel, bridge by a crystal closure. Taking a long drink from her water bottle she breathed heavily still tired from her performance.

Sighing she opens her little purse and takes out her next appointment card. Hayato Ah-Uh. That’s why his name sounded familiar. He’s here again with Sesshoumaru. Taking a long deep breath she braces herself for her encounter with him again.

Eden. Eden. You are Eden. You got this. She wills herself. Opening her eyes, she stares at her peonies and gasped. He knows who I really am?! Damn it! How did he figure out? It’s ok, I can do this, I can divert him. I can still save this and throw him off.

Glancing at herself in the mirror, she grabs her purse and martini and proceeded towards the VIP section again. On her way there, a hand grabs her arm. Turning around she smiles and asked to be released.

“But I want you to spend time with me.” He begged

Drunk. She thought, rolling her eyes. “Please, let me go.” She asked nicely again.

“No, you spend some time with me!” he commanded

Pulling her arm free from him, she turns her heels and leaves “Book an appointment” she said under her breath irritated at him. She hated when they get drunk. There were many things she hates, but she hates it most when things happen that she did not plan.

“Whatever, you’re just another whore anyway.” He insulted her.

With lightning speed, the martini glass shattered on the floor sending the alcohol and olives flying everywhere. The back of her hand met his face making a very loud sound followed by the same hand grabbing and squeezing his jaw, making his mouth pucker like a little child.
“You do not take that type of language towards me! And if I was a whore, you’d still be the unwanted shit stuck underneath the soles of my shoes!” She said through clenched teeth and lets him go with a push and he fell backwards into the arms of his friends.

“Come on buddy, time to go.” Yuka led he guy out by the collar of his shirt.

Standing up quickly when he heard the man called her a ‘whore’ he stopped when he saw that she was in control. Watching from his seat, he saw her miko powers flare as she squeezes the guy’s jaws and pushes him backwards. Kami, how many ways can she sway this demon’s heart? He thought amazed at her speed and strength.

Taking in a deep breath she recomposes herself and heads up towards the VIP table where Sesshoumaru was waiting for her. She enters into the section and smiles.

“Eden are you ok?” Venus rushes over and asked; concerned about her friend. She can tell Eden was quite irked.

“Mmmm.” She nods at Venus and turns to Hayato.“Mr. Ah-Un, how very nice to see you again.” Completely ignoring Sesshoumaru as he sat in the lounge chair, resting on his elbows.

“Uh….um…” He stutters staring over at Sesshoumaru. He’d love to have both of them, one in each arm but he knows that Sesshoumaru had already taken a liking to her and he wasn’t going to piss Sesshoumaru off.

“Your name is next on my appointment.” She hands him the card.

Venus grabs the card from her hand and giggle. “Silly, have a seat. Come, you need a drink.” She pulls Eden down next to her. She slumps next to Venus and the girl smiles at her. “Somebody’s in a bad mood isn’t she?”

“Venus stop harassing.” Her voice short and irritated, not the usual soft sexy voice that everyone always hears when she’s with a customer.

Venus proceeds to the table and starts pouring two Patron shots for her and Eden. Taking two shot glasses in her hand, she hands one to Eden.
“I know what my little kitty cat likes.” She smiles as Eden takes the drink from her hand and rolls her eyes, except it wasn’t irritation, it was a grateful eye roll. Eden takes the drink, the glasses clink and the two took the shots alone, ignoring the men. Venus takes Eden’s glass and sets it down, Venus continues to pour more alcohol, she hands the men their shots next and grabs two more. Saying a quick ‘cheers’ to them she purposely spills the shot on Eden. “Oops.” She cried out with a pouty lip. She bends over and licks the drink off Eden’s neck and heaving cleavage as the two watches. Hayato’s eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. Venus takes the shot into her mouth and straddling Eden she leans in to kiss her, slowly dispersing the shot into Eden’s mouth. Eden’s hands reach behind Venus and pulls her even closer. She runs her hand through Venus’ hair and pulls her head in for a deeper kiss.

She finally pulls away and said “I need another.” Venus complied and gave her a flute of champagne and with a strawberry floating inside. She moves and resumes he spot next to Hayato. Eden chugs down the champagne in one long drink. Venus looks over and winks at Sesshoumaru before resuming her spot next to Hayato.

“Don’t worry, she’s fine. I know how to loosen her up.” She whispered into Hayato’s ears, Sesshoumaru caught her words.

Setting the empty glass down, she was starting to feel the alcohol hit her. Normally she stuck with one type of alcohol and it wouldn’t faze her for a long time. Tonight she’d mix her alcohol. And fast. She knew there was going to be consequences to pay. But she didn’t care. She wanted to escape. She wanted to free herself and if letting the alcohol take over then so be it. Her mood had been ruined and she hated having to deal with customers in this state, but she had no choice. She was going to finish the night and go home.

“Eden, Mr. Tashio is the one that booked the VIP, so technically he’s your customer at the moment and besides which you can’t have my Hayato.” Venus told her, caressing Hayato’s chest and smiling up at him.

Eden glances over at Sesshoumaru as he watches her being reckless. She pours him a glass of cognac and one for herself. She didn’t particularly liked cognac, but what the hell? She thought.

She slides closer to him, hands him his cognac and leans on his broad shoulders. Her scent swarms his nostrils. Kami, the things he can do to her! Her hair still a little wet from the performance.

She leans in and her face was about an inch from his. “So, Mr. Tashio, where’s your wife?” Knowing he didn’t have one.

“Don’t have one.” He replied swirling his cognac in the glass, then he takes a sip.

“Ah, picky are we?” her hand traces his lips and he wanted to take her then and there on the lounge chair in the middle of the club. Subduing the demon inside of him, he sat there, still, cool and collected.

“Did you enjoy the flowers?” he asked taking another sip of his cognac.

It was him! So he knows for sure! She took a long sip of cognac before she answers, “Which ones? Were they roses? Or the white lilies were yours? Perhaps the orchids?” She taunted him in an evil manner. She didn’t know why but she wanted to take everything out on him. Like everything was his fault. She wanted him, but she blames him for ruining their night by being possessive and snooping in her life. Now, she’s pretending in the worst way that she wasn’t Kagome.

Hurt by her obvious insults, he remained silent, but her miko powers allowed her to feel his youki rising. She didn’t care. Perhaps she was angry he’d managed to figure out her real identity in such a short time, after she’d worked so hard to conceal it.

She pressed on, taunting him. “You know, the only flowers I did enjoy today, was the one sent by Elliot. Those beautiful pink peonies. They smelled so lovely.” She closes her eyes, pretending to reflect upon the flowers.

Anger rose inside of him and he almost threw her off him. Sensing his anger, she takes chugs down her cognac and then grabbing his drink from his hand she also chugs it down. Suddenly she climbs on top of him and straddle him. Grabbing his face with both her hands, she leans in and kissed him. Forcing the alcohol down his throat – just as Venus had done moments earlier to her. He takes it in as she spills them into his mouth. She’d never acted like this. Audacious, out of control, she was conscious of it but she didn’t care. She was using the alcohol as an excuse to free herself, and she wanted to be free with him. Her thin g-string was barely enough to create a barrier between them, and she could feel his penis getting hard under his trousers.

Pulling from his lips she traces her tongue on his face to his ears “Mr. Tashio,” she whispers “I think you need to loosen up.” She turns around and starts rubbing on his hips giving a very close lap dance. He sensed her arousal.

His manhood throbs and his heart skipped a beat. He bit down on his lips with his fangs to control himself.

Pulling himself together, he grabs her by the waist with both hands, picks her up and sets her next to him on the lounge chair. Hayato and Venus were pretending to be too busy to care about them, while watching the scene out of the corner of their eyes. Both amused by the little game of love that the other two were doing.

Leaning into her he caresses her face with the back of his hand. “Not here” he whispered.

She smiles an evil smile at him. “Mr. Tashio, where would you like to…” lying on the lounge chair now she traces her index finger down her neck and in between her breast, biting her bottom lip. He watches her acting out like a little brat under the influence of alcohol. He leans into her and grabbing her hand he pins in down on the lounge chair. Leaning close to her ears he whispers “You’d better stop. Unless, you want me to take you out of this place and have my way with you. No one would even noticed you’re missing until it’s too late.” He nibbles on her ear and her whole body was filled with shots of excitement and she felt herself getting moist.

“You wouldn’t!” She shot back, her voice a little shaky.

Sitting up, he smiles at her, “Is that a challenge?”

Not knowing how serious he was on his threat she decided not to find out. She’d heard and read up a lot on his family background. He was full Youkai and a powerful one at that. She knew he was more than capable of delivering his threat. She stops her taunting at him and behaved herself around him.

She was buzzed and tired. She’s never gone this far in drinking before. She usually drinks a bottle of water in between. Tonight she can feel that she’s dehydrated and was about to be drunk. Calling the waitress, she orders two bottles of water and a bloody mary, and extra limes. Her little anti-drunk recipe.

Sesshoumaru watches as she struggles to stay sober. He watches as the alcohol and her alter ego takes over and she flirts with Venus. Licking and sucking on the whipped cream covered strawberries. Sucking on Venus’ fingers where the little whipped cream was left. Hayato thought he’d died and went to seventh heaven. He winks at Sesshoumaru thanking him for the ‘birthday present”.

A new waitress came over and asked to speak with Eden. “Eden, a few gentlemen are here for a bachelor party and they would like a lap dance from you.”

Venus choked on her champagne. The waitress looks at her in shock. Venus gets up and walks over to the waitress. “You’re a cutie.” She said smiling at the girl and wrapping her arm around the girl’s shoulder. “Listen, sweetie. You’re new. Here’s the thing. If a customer wants to spend time with our lovely Lady Eden, they must book an appointment to reserve her. Also, Eden doesn’t do lap dances honey.” She told the girl.

“But…I saw her and the gentleman and besides, they already paid for three songs straight with the ‘bachelor’” The waitress protested.

“It’s ok Venus. I got it.” She said to Venus, standing up.

“Eden…” Sesshoumaru grabs her hand, his eyes pleading.

Turning around, she bends over, her breast dangling in front of him, “Aww…You’re not jealous, are you… Mister Ta..shi..o?” She asked in the sweetest voice, the back of her hand caressing his face.

Grabbing her hand away from his face, he pulls her into his lap. She let out a soft gasp at his sudden action. Caressing her face as she did his, he whispers, “This Sesshoumaru, doesn’t get jealous. I was merely reminding you that your hour isn’t over yet.” And he smiles at her, while she gives him a dirty look. Getting up from his lap, she goes over to the new waitress. “Yumi,” she starts, looking at the girls name tag “you may go tell them that I’ll be over to see them when my appointment here is over. And you may also tell Kohaku to skip my first song. Let whoever is next on the list to go for me.” She said sweetly, looking over her shoulder at Sesshoumaru. He picks up his new cognac and empties the glass.

“Okay.” Yumi answered, turning around to leave.

Time passes while she sat uncomfortable with Sesshoumaru, but she enjoyed being next to him, she enjoys the scent of him, and her kiss with him earlier still lingers in her mind. Looking at her watch, her time was over, she smiles at Sesshoumaru. “Mr. Tashio, thank you very much for your time, this evening. Should I send you one of our lovely ladies your way now?” She asked taunting him with the fact that she was leaving.

“That won’t be necessary.” He answers, looking at her and then taking another sip of his drink.

She turns to thanked Hayato and gave Venus a kiss on the cheek, bending over and flashing her ass at Sesshoumaru. He watches as she walks out of their VIP section and heads towards the bachelor group.

“Lady Eden!” One of the men greeted.

“Hello” she said in her Siren, sultry voice.

“Man, we’re so excited!” Another cried out as the bachelor blushes.

“Gentlemen, I’m here personally to apologize for Yumi’s mistake. She’s new and she doesn’t know the rules of the club yet. My appointments have been booked for the night and I do not ever give lap dances. If you’d like to know more about making an appointment, please, see one of the managers. Of course, your money will be refunded to you and I will send a drink your way – for our bachelor tonight.” She told them, her eyes enticing, and her voice captivating them.

“Yeah. No problem. Thanks so much for stopping by. We didn’t mean to inconvenienced you.” The bachelor said. “Will you at least let me buy you a shot?” he asked.

“If you’d like.” She answered ever so sweetly, smiling. She didn’t want to, but in order to keep her business, she needs to sometimes cater to the customers. Especially new ones.

Sesshoumaru sat and listened to her conversation with the group. He looks over as she takes her shot with them and then takes her leave. He saw her as she shrinks in size disappearing into the dressing room. Amused by her tactic of teasing him, he knew he’d continue to fall deeper into the bottomless pit that was ‘Eden’. He stayed and watches as she danced to her song on the stage and taking a final sip of his cognac, he leaves, letting Hayato stay with Venus and to take a cab home later.

Entering her dressing room, the manager came and informed her that her last appointment of the night had to be cancelled because the customer had gotten into a car accident. She was relieved. She was tired. The rest of the night, she was useless. She did not give her next appointment the attention she usual does. She glances around all the time, looking for Sesshoumaru, but he’d already left. She skipped her final turn on the stage to make money. She didn’t need the money so she gave the other girls the opportunity to earn more money. Usually the rotating turn was a good excuse for her to leave her customers, cutting the appointment short or a good excuse to run to the DJ booth for a quick break. Tonight her last appointment had cancelled and she decided she was going to leave early for once.

While the bachelor party was getting rowdy and a lot of attention, she snuck in back, changed into her regular clothes and like a thief in the night, she slipped out the back door (where they usually only use to take the garbage out.) No one noticing, she walks up a few blocks, the rain starts to drizzle and she hailed a taxi, not knowing that someone was out to get even with her. He followed the taxi, keeping his distance and snickered gleefully of the fun that was to come.

Sesshoumaru stood on his terrace looking out at the night sky. Her scent still lingers on him. He could still feel her hot wet lips on him. The alcohol, the seduction, the taunting, teasing, and her arousal. He sighed deeply, with her still in his thoughts. He longed for her touch, his hunger for her grabs at his heart in pain. Visions of her sitting and flirting with other men drowned his thoughts.

Parts

The distance of a breathe not

Felt on my lips

Is too much

Is much too far

The sound of my voice echoes

“Do you miss me?

Do you wish I was there?”

Don’t answer, the unanswerable

If the truth would hurt

My imagination has run a

Marathon

Leaving loneliness to abuse me,

And jealousy to pick up

The pieces

“Do you miss me, the way

I miss you?”

Kiss the rain...

Whenever you need me

Kiss the rain…..

Whenever we’re apart too long

If whenever your lips get lonely

And thirsty

Kiss the rain and wait for

The dawn

Always remember that we’re

Under the same sky

And the night is as empty for

Me as it is for you.

Isn’t it Kagome?
