FACE OFF!

The night
was a perfect setting for a night of clubbing. The air was a nice warm
temperature, the sky was clear, allowing the stars to show off their brightness
and light up Tokyo. The clubs were
not very far from the Higurashi shrine so the girls
decided to walk. First stop, a bite to eat.

Kagome giggled, “You do know that we’re attracting a lot of attention walking
right?”

Riquo smiled, “Yea so?”

“Well, seeing as how we’re mated and all…”

Riquo waved her hand dismissively, “Ooh please! It’s not
like we’re gona screw every guy that looks our way!
Besides, I know you like the attention…”

Kagome giggled again, “Yea…I do!”

Riquo unraveled her wrist wrappings slightly so that they
hung at her thighs, giving her a savage, seductive look. The sway of her tail
and the style of her strut made her stand out like lime green against black.
Everyone she passed, guy or girl, looked her way. Kagome on the other hand,
didn’t try too hard to get theentiention, even though her ears swiveling back
and forth didn’t help any. She felt a lot guiltier about being out and having
fun without Kouga.

Sensing her thoughts, Riquo sighed, “Kagome, do you honestly
think you can go clubbing with Kouga?”

Kagome was jarred from her thoughts, “Wha?”

Riquo rolled her eyes, “C’mon, there are others ways we can
have fun with the guys. Clubbing is not one of them. This is something we as girls do for fun. Just like
Inuyasha and Kouga argue or spar for fun.”

Back in the feudal
era, the silence of Kaede’s hut was cut with two male huffs.

Kagome giggled, “Yea, I guess you’re right.”

Riquo winked, “Now c’mon! I haven’t had McDonalds in a long,
LONG time!”

Riquo pushed open the door to McDonalds, sounding the little
bell that alerted their arrival. Of course…a bell wasn’t really needed in this
case. Riquo and Kagome stood out in the crowded restaurant. Every turned to
stare at them as they strutted across the tiled floor towards the cash
registers. All the cashiers were guys and staring noticeably. Unfortunately for
the youngest of them, Riquo and Kagome averted their attention to him with
brilliant, pearly fang smiles. Kagome ordered as Riquo perused the menu. McFlurry? Damn, I have been gone a long time… She
leaned over the counter towards the pizza-faced boy, her breasts protruding
forward like a nosey friend.

“Can you tell me what’s good here?” Riquo said, licking her
fangs.

The poor boy stuttered like a drunken sailor, “U-uh…t…the..uuh….n-number….t-two…..spe-ecial…”

Riquo slowly brought her emerald gaze to where the menu
displayed the number two special in a brightly colored box on the screen. Hmm…double meat…oooo
and they still have mcnuggets!

Riquo gazed sensually at the boy, “I’ll have the number two
special and chicken mcnuggets…please,” she purred.

Riquo had to bite her lip to keep from laughing at him. He
was jittering so bad he had to redo the order seven times because he kept
hitting the wrong buttons. Kagome had shaken him up first but Riquo’s quirks
threw him into a loop. Riquo sniffed and grinned. He was noticeably horny, to
the point where Riquo really didn’t have to sniff. When their order came
forward, Riquo paid with the money Ms. Higurashi let
her borrow, and winked.

“Thanks darling,” she purred.

Her and Kagome turned and strutted back down to a seat outside on one of the
picnic tables. Both of them in a laughing fit.

“I bet that poor boy never saw boobs until he saw us!!”
Kagome burst out.

“He probably never had a boner before us either,” Riquo
snickered.

The girls laughed and joked through their meal. Occasionally
some guys would come up and talk to them, but they were soon sent away
unsatisfied and pissed at the girls’ rhetoric’s. Before another hoard of males
could come their way, Kagome and Riquo cleaned up and headed out towards the
nearest club.

The night had warmed up a little and both of them were glad
they dressed a little risqué. The first
club they hit was called Casa de Gatas.[1] The
only word good enough to describe this club was: purrfect!
Almost every one there was clad in some sort of cat outfit available, from cat
ears, tails, cat eyes, and some even had whiskers and claws. Riquo and Kagome grinned
at each other. They would fit in perfectly at this club.

Kagome and Riquo stalked towards the entrance of the club,
following the short line in towards the door. Riquo cursed softly, she didn’t
have an ID. She looked nervously over at Kagome who had obviously realized the
same thing. When they got to the two guards at the door, they stared Riquo and Kagome
down.

“Uuum…I don’t have an ID,” Riquo said
nervously.

The oversized rent-a-cops continued to stare.

“Can my friend just vouch for me?” Riquo asked.

Stare.

Riquo rolled her eyes impatiently. This wasn’t a guy
checking out a girl stare. This was a I’m-going-to-be-gay-and-silent
stare. Finally one of the rent-a-cops pointed behind in inside the whe where
multi-colored lights were flashing and music was pounding the building.

“Go ahead,” the fat guard said in a Swedish accent.

Kagome quirked an eyebrow, “Doesn’t she need ID or
something?”

“We no need ID, just faces.”

Riquo narrowed her eyes and sniffed. Both of the guards
grinned slightly and winked at her. Riquo smiled and shrugged grabbing Kagome's
hand, speeding past the guards and the entrance into the pumping club. They
stopped at the bar which was in the middle of all the action.

“I can’t believe they don’t check ID here. It’s kind of sad
that they let just anyone in this place,” Kagome said.

“Well, like they said, all they is faces,” Riquo said,
banging the bar table with her fist to get the waiters attention.

“Huh?” Kagome said in response.

Well, when I want to, I can pinpoint exactly where it is. For instance,” she closed her eyes for a
second before opening them, “I can see where it is, one of them is in Egypt
in one of the tombs of the pharaohs.”

Riquo gaped, “I guess I was right about your priestess
powers enhancing, but damn.”

Kagome grinned, “Oh, that’s not all. I can summon them to my
exact location.”

 
p>

Riquo grinned and scooted forward, “I’m intrigued!”

Kagome laughed, “I’ll give you a full demo when we get home,
but right now,” she leaned forward, blue eyes meeting green, “tell me how many
people in here are demons.”

Riquo’s eyes flashed and she grinned mischievously. She pointed
behind Kagome to the couple that was swapping spit.

Kagome's eyes widened, “Them?” she whispered.

Riquo nodded, “Snake demons. They aren’t using a very good
concealment technique though. I think it only keeps humans from seeing their
scales.”

Kagome turned around and looked at their arms. Well I’ll be damned. Sure enough, both
of them had black, red and yellow scales lining their bodies. Ha, coral snake…red touches black, you’re
okay jack, red touches yellow, you’re a dead fellow. Red was touching
yellow on their bodies and Kagome gulped. Unfortunately, Kagome forgot that
snakes have a keen sense of hearing and both demons unlocked their lips and
grinned evilly at Kagome, their fangs unhinging in their mouths. Kagome scooted
back nervously until she heard a growl behind her. Both snake demons stopped
smiling and stared fearfully behind Kagome.

Kagome whirled around to see Riquo baring her fangs at the
couple shaking her forefinger. The snake couple turned to leave, but not before
the female hissed at Riquo. Riquo glared at her until their backs could not be
seen anymore.

Kagome sighed, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re going
to be saving my ass more than once?”

Riquo grinned, “Glad to do it.”

“Why?”

Riquo stared at her for a moment. Why not? Kagome was her
friend and new to the whole demon thing. But then again, Riquo did that to
anyone she slightly considered an ally.

Riquo shrugged, “Motherly instincts I guess.”

Kagome sidled up to her and rested her head on Riquo’s
shoulder, “Aaaaw! My mommy’s protecting me!!”

Riquo chuckled and swatted at her, “Soo…who
else is a demon up in this joint?”

“Well, let’s find out by hitting the dance floor!” Kagome shouted.

Riquo and Kagome strutted out onto the dance floor as a fast
beat pounded in their ears. A crowd had gathered in the middle of the floor. The
two girls pushed their way through to see that the crowd was surrounding a girl
who was dancing in rhythm to the beat, as if she was a part of a dance class. Riquo
grinned and nudged Kagome, mouthing demon.
Kagome looked at the girl again smiling and mouthed back what kind? Riquo mouthed lioness.
Kagome nodded her head.

Riquo got next to Kagome's ear, “Ya
know, I haven’t danced like that in a while…”

Kagome grinned, “You’re not!”

Riquo smiled, “O yea!”

Riquo pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the
girl. The DJ saw this and obviously got the message by shouting into the
microphone, “FACE OFF!”

Soon everyone that was surrounding them was chanting, “FACE
OFF! FACE OFF!”

The girl eyed Riquo up and down and sniffed. She smiledr
pr
plain beige tail swaying with the beat. She bowed and stepped back, letting Riquo
go first. Riquo smiled her gratitude and closed her eyes, letting the music
wash over her entire body. Soon she felt it pulsing in all of her appendages. The
DJ had replaced the previous song with an even faster, harder beat: exactly how
Riquo wanted it.

She started moving hert int in sync with the beat, her arms
and hands following. She even moved her tail in a funky style, making the crowd
wonder how she got her tail to do that. Riquo did everything. She did spins,
jumps, splits and moved her feet like no other dancer. She finished and
signaled the other girl to begin her moves. The lioness demon matched Riquo for
every move she had.

The DJ shouted, “I don’t know about you guys but I think it’s
about to get a lot hotter up in herre!!”

When the lioness was done Riquo nodded in appreciation for
another dancer. The other dancer mouthed in
sync and Riquo almost got teary eyed. I
haven’t done that in forever! She smiled and nodded. Her and the lioness
stood side by side facing the crowd and started dancing together, doing the
same moves at the same time. The crowd gasped and the DJ shouted, “Whoa whoa whoa! How are
those two doing that!?”

To anyone else, it looked like the two cat demon dancers
choreographed this dance. But they knew, and so did Kagome. If demons can
anticipate another demons attack, whose to say they can’t anticipate dance
moves? And that’s exactly what they did. When the music stopped the crowd
erupted in shouts and applause.

The DJ came on the mike again, “Well cats,
usually the winner buys the loser a drink, but since it looks like you both
one, your drinks will be on me!”

Riquo, Kagome and the lioness walked over to the bar
together, accepting several congratulations on the way.

Riquo held out her hand, “Riquo.”

The lioness grasped it firmly, “Nala.”

“Like the Lion King, Nala?”

Nala laughed, “My parents are
obsessed with that movie.”

“I’m Kagome,” she said extending her hand.

Nala shook it, “You’re a half
demon aren’t you?”

Kagome nodded. She decided to leave out the part about being
a human first. That was kind of a long story anyways.

Nala nodded, “Never met a half
demon without concealment on.”

Kagome laughed nervously, “Haven’t quite mastered that yet,”
she mumbled.

“How’s that?” Nala
asked confused.

Riquo decided to save Kagome on this one, “We’re not from
around here. So what are you getting?” Riquo said motioning towards the
bartender. Riquo ordered a strawberry daiquiri, Kagome got the same and Nala ordered some weak liquor neither Riquo nor Kagome could
name.

After downing her shot, a guy came up behind Nala, nuzzling her neck.

“Hey! Quit that!” she purred against him.

Kagome smiled gently rubbing her scar on her neck and Riquo just
took a swig of her drink, rubbing her scar as well.

Inuyasha closed his
eyes, trying not to purr as the warm feeling spread all over his body from his
scar. He opened one eye and glanced over at Kouga, noticing he was doing the
same.

Nala giggled, “Riquo, Kagome, this
is my boyfriend James. He’s from America.”

Kagome and Riquo both smiled and shook his hand.
Unfortunately, Nala and James weren’t the type to
abide by public displays of affection and were soon mimicking the snake couple
earlier.

Riquo cleared her throat, “Well we should get going, it was nice meeting both of you.”

No response.

Kagome chuckled and both girls turned to walk out the exit
door. No sooner had they left the door, Riquo heard hissing that was out of
sight and someone shouting, “THAT’S THEM!”

A/N: ooooo! I’m evil! I’m so sorry this took me so long, I promise
I’ll be a better HeLLcat and update more! Ookay! Happy Easter to all the Ladiez
