A Dream

Even as he was doing it, he knew he was biting off way more than he could chew.

I mean seriously, why had he even entered this stupid competition? Oh yes, now he remembered, it was because of that big-breasted bimbo he’d met in the café. She’d told him all about what fun it was, and how sure she was he could beat anyone she’d seen play.

Unfortunately, his ego had gotten the best of him. Yes, that was the great Inuyasha Takahashi, always letting his over inflated ego out-way his common sense and ultimately fuck him over. Keh...

So, due to his stupidity, he was now expected to actually go through with this. And at the very moment, he was cursing himself for being a man of his word. I mean honestly, why would any sane person create such a ridiculous game to begin with? He hadn’t the foggiest idea, but somehow he had been berated into entering this death trap, so now he was going to see it through.

“You’re supposed to run all the way across this icy platform without breaking your neck. When you reach the end, hit the stop button on your timers. Then make it back to that building back there to mark in what place you got and collect your prize.” The fat man motioned towards a tall building in the background. “ Umm…Oh yeah, and your supposed to line up in the building according to what place you got in the game… The prize will be 10000 yen…” The fat guy only managed to get this much announced before Inuyasha successfully managed to tune his voice out.

The fat man started giving safety instructions but Inuyasha was to busy trying to figure out how he’d been stupid enough to agree to something this useless, to bother himself with listening.

He sighed as the fat man hollered something ending the safety precautions speech, and raised his flare gun.
“Ready! …Go!” He yelled.

Inuyasha took off like a bullet. If he was going to participate in this stupidity, he might as well do it right.

He was making good time, he was ahead of most of the others, and feeling pretty damn good. That is, until he reached the end and grabbed hold of the rail, which in turn collapsed under him and sent him reeling over the edge and into icy cold water.

Cursing and thrashing, he made his way to the ladder especially intended for idiots such as himself, who refused to listen to the safety instructor’s precautions.

Just as he reached up to take hold of the ladder, a small hand came down just beside his. He turned his head to see the small hand was connected to a small woman.
They stared at each other for a good minute before she spoke.

“Please… I can’t feel my fingers.”

He wasn’t exactly comfortable either but hey, she was the frail little human, not him. And besides, she was pretty hot. What was the harm?
Nodding, he let her climb up first, and even gave her a little boost when he saw her struggle to reach the first bar.

Once she was out of his view, he began climbing. She was gone when he got to the top so he started running towards the building. Upon entering, he sees his frail, frozen fingered female standing right in his spot.

Frozen fingers his ass! She just wanted a good spot in line!

“Frozen fingers huh? Nice one, Bitch.” With that, he stormed off to the men’s restroom to piss and thaw his own hands.

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

She couldn’t help but feel guilty. Even while she held his wonderful spot in line, she couldn’t help it. So, mentally cursing her soft heart, she abandoned the spot and headed into the men’s restroom after him.

Once inside, she got a couple odd looks, but thankfully nothing more.
There were only two stalls in total, and only one occupied. So it didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that’s where he was.

Standing next to the stall she could hear him mumbling to himself as he pissed. A little odd, but okay, she could deal with that.

“Stupid Bitch. Selfish, inconsiderate, lying, greedy bitch. And After I helped her sorry ass too.”

Turning with a grimace, she glanced into the mirror and tried to salvage what was left of her perm as she waited for him to finish.

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

Flushing, Inuyasha briefly wondered why he even gave a damn. It didn’t make much sense really. He never actually wanted to be in the game anyway.

But that didn’t change the fact that she was now deemed ‘Bitch’ in his mind. He was allowed to be angry. Or at least that’s what he assured himself of even when that nagging little voice told him it was really only because she’d managed to both stir his juices and weasel a little kindness out of him only to throw it back in his face.
Deep in thought, he didn’t even notice she was there until she spoke while he was washing his hands.

“I’m sorry.”

He simply stared at her before answering slowly.

“You followed me in here, and lost the spot you worked so hard to steal, just to tell me that?” Reaching for the paper towel, he continued to watch her.

She swallowed hard and nodded.

And he burst into laughter.

“Maybe you’re not so bad after all Fingers.”

Her face scrunched up. “Fingers?”

And he only laughed harder. “Yeah. You know, Frozen Fingers. The act you so skilfully pulled off”

She blushed. “That’s embarrassing… The name’s Kagome.”

“Inuyasha. So now that we’re all made up, what do you say I buy you a drink ne?”

She couldn’t help but grin. “So does that mean I’m not a ‘Stupid, Selfish, inconsiderate, lying, greedy bitch?’”

He didn’t skip a beat. “Sure does. Now you’re just a liar.”

“Hey!”

“Breathe, I was only kidding.”

“Oh…right…”

Within those first thirty seconds of conversation he’d decided to like her.
And by God that meant she should be running.

He liked how she seemed to be unsure of herself, yet managed to have an edgy, strong feel to her. And he couldn’t deny that she was beautiful, not to mention just a little too sexually stimulating. Which was defiantly weird cause he’d been with much more attractive women and had a lot less of a reaction. Hell, she wasn’t even dressed slutty or anything. Her clothes left a tasteful amount to the imagination. He never did tasteful. He had a liking for the slutty and more scantily clad. And yet here he was, hard for little miss ‘I’m deceiving but I feel guilty about it’.

With these musings a thought emerged to him and, as usual, he simply mentally shrugged and decided to go with it. Let’s just say Inuyasha had never really been much of a thinker. He preferred action and adventure to thinking and planning. Which sadly, was what so often got him into trouble.

“Know what?” He asked mischievously.

“What?” She answered without much thought.

“I still owe you one.”

“What are you— Hey!” She yelped as he snatched her ear muffs right off her head and bolted for the door.

The second the situation clicked into her mind, she was right behind him.

Somewhere along the way, he’d lost his hat, but neither one noticed. She chased him out of the restroom, through the hall, down the steps and out of the building.

She couldn’t help the smile that bloomed on her face. She hadn’t done something this childish in years, and she was loving it. Imagine, two grown adults running about the parking lot like a couple of five year olds.

It was wonderful.

She continued to chase him through the falling snow until he came to a dead stop and whirled around, yanking her to him as they both went tumbling into a snow bank. She landed atop his chest flushed and smiling. But despite her smile, she tried to sound angry. She should be angry right? I mean, for goodness sake he, a complete stranger had stolen her earmuffs and ran. Not to mention called her a verity of vulgar names. With those thoughts she continued to attempt her ‘Angry face’

“What the hell do you think your doing?!” She spat.

“Whatever it is, I’d say you’re enjoying it.” He responded with ease.

“And what in God’s name would make you think that?”

“You’re smiling.”

“I most certainly am no–” And as the smile turned to an all out burst of laughter, all traces of feigned anger left her. She dropped her head into his shoulder to laugh harder.

“There now Fingers, It wasn’t that funny.”

She lifted her head to look him in the eyes. “Yes, oh yes it was. I haven’t had that much fun since I was a child.”

The second it was out, she wished she could take it back. He was just a stranger, what right did she have to go telling him all her troubles?

“Then you ought to get out more.” He said playfully. If he’d noticed that she’d just told him something fairly personal , he didn’t show it.

As he watched her worry her lip, it instantly occurred to him that he liked the way her features could change so rapidly. The way her ebony hair tumbled out over her shoulders and her face flushed. Thinking on it now, it wasn’t hard to see why he was attracted to her. And with those thoughts he couldn’t help wondering if her face would flush the same way as she writhed and moaned beneath him.

When he noticed he’d been staring and she hadn’t said anything in a while he tipped up her chin. “Hey. Don’t worry about it. Come here and let me make this memorable.”

“I…”

Her words were drowned out when his lips connected with hers. His lips moved over hers for a few more minutes before she surprised them both by responding so that their tongues clashed and breath came in pants.

By God, what the hell was she doing?! He was a stranger! A man she hadn’t known for more than fifteen minutes and she was letting him kiss and touch her like they’d been together all their lives! She knew it was wrong. She knew he was probably just some all around player. But as his hands slid under her coat, she decided she didn’t care.

And just when she thought she might simply allow him to tear off her clothes right then and there, they were rudely interrupted.

And of all things, it was by a blinding light in their faces, which turned out to be a cop’s flashlight.

“Alright kids, break it up.” The cop demanded.

Kagome bolted up and off Inuyasha, and immediately began trying to explain herself.

“Sorry Sir. We didn’t mean to do anything wrong but we’re both adults and if you like, I have some ID here so you can…” She trailed off when she noticed the cop’s eyes were trained on Inuyasha’s demon ears as if they were the very things that had moved the dinosaurs into extinction.

“On your feet, Brat.” The cop demanded.

“No.” Inuyasha replied nonchalantly. He hardly bothered to sit up.

“Now, you little shit!”

“Fuck you Goshinki”

“Your breaking laws here you Bastard!”

“Somehow I sense that’s bullshit, considering we’re both consenting adults. But even if I’m wrong, breaking laws never did stop me before. So why don’t you just climb back up into your shit heap and get the hell out of here. Ne?”

“That’s it demon!” The cop screamed as he lunged at him. Inuyasha dodged easily and was on his feet in seconds, fists raised and ready to pummel.

At the word ‘demon’, Kagome understood. This man, this cop, was a racist.
He didn’t like demons, and Inuyasha’s ears clearly stated that was exactly what he was. Not to mention that they seemed to know each other due to the fact the Inuyasha had called him by name.

On instinct, Kagome stepped between the two.

“Stop! …You!” She pointed to Goshinki. “You get back in your car and I won’t report your unnecessary conduct and badge abuse to your boss!”

Goshinki laughed and covered his badge with his palm. “Not happening Sweetness, you gotta know my badge number for that.”

Kagome smirked. “I do. I’ve already seen it. And just in case you forgot, it’s also printed in huge numbers on the side of you’re car. One Sixty-Seven. Then add on the fact that I know your name is Goshinki, and you’re pretty much fucked.”

Goshinki’s smile turned to an immediate scowl. “You dirty little cunt. Didn’t your mother ever teach you respect?”

Inuyasha growled and stepped forward but Kagome shoved him back.

“Yes. She did actually, but apparently your mother didn’t. Now do as you’re told or you’ll loose your job. comprender asshole?”

His mouth opened but closed again on better judgment. Instead, he just pointed a finger at her before storming off into his car.

Based on the look Kagome had on her face, Inuyasha opted to do nothing but obey when she snapped orders for him to follow to her car.The car was silent other than the sound of the wheels pulling out of the drive.

What was he to say to her? She’d just stuck up for him against a man that could have easily crushed her and she didn’t even know him. No one had ever stuck up for him before. No one. Not ever. Most people considered him worthless scum, a dirty ‘Hanyou’. And those who didn’t usually didn’t care enough to bother with him anyways. Sure, there were plenty of women out there willing to bed him, but that didn’t mean anything. That was just sex. But apparently this girl considered him worth something, and something sure as hell felt better than nothing. Yet even still, he couldn’t find words. He was sorry she’d had to do that. She shouldn’t have. He needed to let her know that.

“Sorry…” He grunted softly.

As the words left his mouth the car came screeching to a skidded halt, and an angry Kagome whipped around to face him. “What? Why?”

He frowned. “Well Goshinki, he—”

“Was a racist, scum sucking, bastard!” She finished his sentence in somewhat of a rage as her fists tightened on the wheel.

“Yes, but I didn’t mean to put you —”

“You didn’t. That guy needed to be put in his place. Imagine! Stopping us just because you’re a demon! I never…”

“Half demon.”

“thought the law would— What?”

“Half demon. I’m only half demon.”

“Oh…”

“Look, if that changes things—”

“It doesn’t. I just didn’t think… well, you look like a full demon to me.”

“I don’t, only to someone who was never shown the difference.”

She sighed and resisted the urge to squish him to her chest. She knew half demons were outcasts. Neither human nor demon accepted them. They were considered plagues to society. It was horrible as far as Kagome was concerned; they had just as much right to live as anyone else would. With that, her mind was made up within seconds. This man was going to get a new best friend. Whether he liked it or not.
“Okay…well, whatever. None of that matters anyway.”

He stared at her for a good long minute before speaking. “You know, I think I like you more and more every minute.” She blushed, which only encouraged him to continue. “What’s up with you? First, you steal my spot, only to come apologize. Then you chase me out into the cold—”

“Hey! That was your doing!”

He ignored her and kept going. “Then you pin me with a hot make out session.” He paused to watch her blush deepen then continued. “Then you stick up for me when macho cop shows up, and all in under an hour. Lemme just say, that you’re talented. Got any other talents you’d like to share with me?” He cooed, causing her to fidget.

“Yeah well…”

“Well what?”

When she didn’t answer, he leaned a little closer, keeping eye contact. “Judging by the way you kiss...” Again, he leaned closer. This time so that his mouth was a breath away from her right ear. “I’d say you’re hiding something. Some dirty little something somewhere hidden under all those carefully composed layers...”

Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head. God, if he only knew.

“But just to make sure, think I need another taste.” With that he reached up and cupped the back of her neck, drawing her in. What started off as a soft and sweet lingering, somehow escalated to a fast and needy longing within seconds.

Moments later he pulled back, knowing that if he let it go any further she’d be naked and under him in the back seat of her car. It wasn’t such a bad idea, but he felt he kind of owed her for what she’d done for him back in the parking lot. Besides, he didn’t gauge her as that type of girl anyways.

Boy was he wrong.

“Looks like I was right. Fingers has a wild side.” He chuckled as he watched her eyes clear.

“I…you…what?” her brain finally cleared and managed to make sense of his words. “That sounds so wrong. How about you stop calling me that and start calling me by my actual name?”

He laughed. “Come on sweetheart, why don’t you start this thing up and take me back to the parking lot so I can get my car?”

She blanched. “Your… your car?”

He grinned. “Yeah, my car. Did you think I flew to that ridiculous event?”

“I uh…No. I just assumed. You didn’t say anything when I told you to get in my car.”

He ran his tongue over his teeth and smirked. “I was hoping you were taking me home to ravish me.”

“Oh my God… What am I going to do with you?” She said while blushing madly.

“I can think of quite a few things actually…”

“No, no, don’t tell me. Please.” She said between blushing and laughing.
’You might tempt me.’ was her foremost and terrifying thought.

He shrugged. “Have it your way.”
