"Are you sure I look alright Inuyasha?" Kagome asked for the fifth time since they had gotten into the car. She was a bit self conscious about her dress and the amount of skin she was showing. "I don't look trashy?"

"If you looked trashy you wouldn't be going there with me." Was the only response she was given. Kagome sighed and decided to try and get control of her nerves. She had called Sango the night before and made up a lie about running into Inuyasha and him asking her to accompany him. She refused to tell her friend about their little trysts.

That wasn't her biggest worry though. She was going to be accompanying Inuyasha Taisho-one of the most influential men in Japan-to an annual benefit that his company hosted. Every piece of paparazzi scumbag you could think of would be there. It was definitely the most looked forward to event of the year for those with enough money and power to attend.

Everybody who was anybody wanted to rub elbows with Inuyasha Taisho, and she was the lucky girl that got to hang on to that elbow the entire night. 'I'm gonna be stabbed to death by some lunatic fan girl.'

"Calm down Kagome, everything will be fine." Inuyasha reached over and placed his hand upon her knee and rubbed in a soothing manner. Kagome felt her tense muscles began to relax under the contact.

"I'm just a little nervous." She mumbled. It wasn't in her personality to be nervous, but somehow Inuyasha brought out emotions like that in her.

"You don't need to be." He tried to reassure her.

"I'll be stabbed by some stupid obsessed fan girl of yours and the paps will have it on every front page in Tokyo." Kagome said as she stared out the window. Inuyasha just chuckled. The girl had a great imagination.

"No one will stab you. Besides, it's a corporate event. No fan girls allowed." Inuyasha said as they pulled into the valet station.

Inuyasha exited the car handing the keys and a more than generous tip to the valet. He then went over to Kagome's side and helped her out. After tucking her hand onto his arm he led them inside of the lavish hall where the benefit would be held.

Kagome was in awe as she looked around at the beautifully decorated hall. The main colors were a light cream and white. There were beautifully decorated tables scattered about and also a live band playing softly. Kagome also noted a desert bar with a chocolate fondue fountain. There were waiters moving to and fro between the crowds offering drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

Inuyasha grabbed two glasses of wine off a tray and handed one to Kagome. She took note of the strawberry at the bottom of the glass.

"This is nice Inyasha." Kagome took a small sip of wine and nodded in approval of its taste.

"What did you expect from me?" Inuyasha asked as he went around waving and shaking hands.

"Stripper poles, half naked women." Kagome replied nonchalantly. Inuyasha sent her a playful look.

"Those are the plans for later."

"Have fun with that." Kagome said as she spotted Sango and Miroku coming towards them.

"Hey guys. Sango you look beautiful." Kagome hugged her best friend and admired her purple ankle length gown.

"You're the show stopper tonight honey." Sango said while looking over Kagome's dress.

"You certainly are lovely tonight Kagome. Inuyasha, you hound, I knew you'd find a way to snatch her." Miroku joked while shaking Inuyasha's hand.

"Who in their right mind could resist someone as beautiful as her?" Inuyasha replied looking at Kagome with a genuine smile on his face. Kagome felt nervous butterflies in her stomach. 'What's with him and the compliments lately?"

"What's the point of this benefit again?" Kagome asked to switch the subject. If anyone caught on they didn't say so.

"Its basically to acknowledge everything my company has done for Japan and to raise money for the charities we sponsor." Inuyasha answered. He excused himself from the group when he noticed one of his colleagues waving him over.

"Inuyasha seems taken with you." Sango said with a sly smile on her face. "I wonder why…"

"I would also like to know what has drawn his attention." Miroku pushed further.

"My friendly personality?" Kagome guessed even though she knew it was bullshit. Sango and Miroku glanced at each other before falling into a fit of laughter. Inuyasha walked back over looking confused.

"What did I miss?"

"Nothing at all." Kagome said with an annoyed tone to her voice. She took another sip of her wine, rolling her eyes at her two friends-if you could call them that.

"Come on Kagome, there's a few people I have to go mingle with." Inuyasha said grabbing her hand.

"Why do I need to go?" She asked after telling Sango she'd find her later.

"You're my arm candy for the night." Inuyasha said playfully, winking at Kagome. She just rolled her eyes and smiled.

They made their way across the room to a small circle of three men. The men all turned their attention to Inuyasha upon their arrival.

"Here's the man of the night." One of the men said. He had his blue eyes all over Kagome. "And who is this beautiful woman here?"

"This is Kagome. Kagome these are my colleagues; Bankotsu, whom runs Shinintai Corp, Kouga who runs Ookami Inc., and my elder brother Sesshomaru who runs Dai Inc."

Kagome smiled and shook each mans hand. The one called Kouga had blue eyes and brown hair. He was also staring at Kagome like she would be his last meal.

The man in the middle, Bankotsu, had long black hair that was in one braid down his back. He also sported a tattoo on his forehead. Inuyasha's brother could be his twin if not for the stoic expression and the pointed ears.

"Its always a pleasure to meet a beautiful woman such as yourself, Miss Kagome." Kouga flirted with her with absolutely no shame. Kagome just gave a smile and a nod before turning her attention elsewhere.

Inuyasha glared at Kagome and tightened his arm around Kagome's waist. Kagome looked up at him with a confused expression. 'Is he jealous?' Kagome shook the thought off. He couldn't be jealous, they were just fuck buddies. That's it, that's all…right?

"Brother, sometime this week we need to go over the statistics for the companies." Sesshomaru said to his obviously jealous brother. Inuyasha just nodded without saying anything.

The men were wrapped up in meaningless conversation when Kagome felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see a smiling Sango.

"Mind if I steal you away for a minute?" Sango asked looking at Kagome then Inuyasha. At his nod both women walked away.

Inuyasha watched as Kagome and Sango disappeared around a corner in the direction of the bathrooms. Sesshomaru watched his brother intently. He leaned in close to him.

"She intrigues you." Inuyasha looked up at his brother, knowing there were many things being said with just those three words.

"She does."

"Then I suggest you take out the trash." Sesshomaru said his eyes looking past Inuyasha. Inuyasha turned and felt his world come crashing down. 'How the fuck did she get past security?'

A young woman no older than her late twenties with shoulder length brown hair was walking towards him. She wore a slightly lose fitting red floor length gown. She had a seductive smile on her face as Inuyasha approached her.

"How the fuck did you get in here?" Inuyasha asked her not trying to hide his displeasure. He needed to get rid of her before she spotted Kagome or else his chances were going to be shot to hell.

"Is that the first thing you say to me? Its been almost two months since I've seen you." The woman replied looking him up and down. He could smell her desire for him.

"Not long enough. Get out."

"You haven't returned any of my calls." She went on ignoring his statement. "So I thought that I'd just come to you." She reached a hand out to touch his face, but he smacked it away.

"If you do not leave this instant I will have security remove you." Inuyasha told her. She just smiled and laughed lightly.

"Lets not make a scene, you know what I want."

"I don't give a fuck what you want. I'm done with you." Inuyasha told her. A scent wafted to his nose and he cursed under his breath. He didn't need this shit tonight.

A frown came upon the woman's face. "I gave myself to you for two months and then you disappear on me? And to add insult to injury you ignore me for a month."

"There was nothing between us but sex Nazuna, get over it." Inuyasha told her coldly. Kagome was getting closer and he needed Nazuna gone.

"That's what you think. We-" Nazuna stopped talking as Kagome approached Inuyasha's side. Inuyasha looked down and smiled at Kagome.

"Sorry about that. Sango had something to tell me." Kagome smiled back at him. It couldn't be helped, his smile was contagious.

"Its ok baby, but I missed you." Inuyasha replied wrapping his arms around Kagome's waist and pulling her closer to him, completely ignoring Nazuna's presence.

"Oh really now?" Kagome played along and wound her arms around his neck. Inuyasha smirked and leaned in with every intention of capturing her beautiful lips when he heard a throat clear. He rolled his eyes and looked towards Nazuna.

"You still here?" He asked gruffly.

"I wasn't done speaking with you." Nazuna replied looking from him to Kagome. "I'm sorry, but you are?"

Kagome raised an eyebrow at the tinge of irritation in the woman's voice. "Kagome, Inuyasha's date. And you are?" Kagome checked out the woman while waiting for her response. She was attractive, but there was something about her that was off.

"Nazuna. Inuyasha you didn't mention you had a girlfriend." Nazuna turned her attention back to Inuyasha, eyes blazing with barely contained fury.

"I don't see how that would concern you. Now, if you don't mind, Kagome and I have people to see." Inuyasha led Kagome away without waiting for a reply.

Nazuna watched the couple walk away before turning and heading to the exit. She would have Inuyasha again, whether he liked it or not.

But first, she'd get rid of the competition.

-x-

Inuyasha accompanied Kagome back to her apartment after the dinner. The two had taken a shower together and were currently laid out together on the living room floor watching a random movie.

Kagome turned her body towards Inuyasha and lifted up on one elbow. "Who was the woman from earlier to you?" She asked. It was something she had wanted to ask him all night, but she couldn't bring herself to. It wasn't really her business since they were only fucking each other, but still…

"Nazuna? Just a chick I used to mess around with. Don't worry about her." Inuyasha replied looking into Kagome's eyes. He remember what her mother had told him and the last thing he wanted was to fuck up his chances by lying.

"We had a strictly sexual relationship for a couple of months and she was pissed when I called it off." He further explained, watching the wheels in Kagome's head spin.

"Why was she there tonight then?" Kagome asked carefully, she didn't want to push her luck.

"According to her its because I ignore her phone calls. She has some fucked up dream of me marrying her or some shit like that." Inuyasha said, lifting his hand and running it through Kagome's still damp hair. Kagome noticed the gentle look in his eyes.

"Well at least you won't have to worry about that with me." At Inuyasha's confused look she added. "I don't want any form of a relationship, just sex, remember?" Kagome turned towards the television, missing the hurt look on Inuyasha's face.

He knew Kagome didn't want a relationship, but also knew that if given the chance he could change her mind. And that's exactly what he planned on doing.

"Kagome.." Inuyasha whispered, effectively gaining Kagome's attention. She turned back towards him and was met by his lips making gentle contact with hers. His arms wound around her and he lowered her upper body down to the floor, leaning halfway over her.

His lips gently caressed hers as his hand slowly moved down her body. Kagome was so lost in the kiss that she didn't noticed he had effectively removed her clothing and was now working on his. There wasn't much to remove seeing as she only wore shorts and a tank top and he was only in a pair of basketball shorts.

"Inuyasha." Kagome moaned out as his tongue wrecked havoc on her neck. Every touch he gave to her body felt more intense then ever for her. Something was different about this, she just couldn't figure out what.

Inuyasha took his time kissing down her body to her toes before kissing his way back up to her lips. After he felt she was thoroughly kissed he slowly entered her, keeping his pace slow and deep. It was a far cry from the hard, rough sex they usually had, but this felt better. It was more personal, loving almost. Kagome ran her hands up and down Inuyasha's back, moaning his name. Inuyasha sped up slightly, but kept his rhythm calm. Soon he could feel Kagome's muscles tightening around his own and he felt her release flood over him. The sound of her soft moan of his name sent him following after her.

The two lay on the floor together, under a light blanket from Kagome's bed, entangled in each other. Their minds occupied with their own separate thoughts. Kagome's revolved around what they just did and her heart sped up at the realization of it all.

Inuyasha had just made love to her. And she liked it…
