The Seduction Game

A round of applause for my reviewers! I love you guys!
To my reviewers on fanfiction:

aquaprincess1: I try to update as soon possible. However, Kagome is still bent on resisting Inuyasha, and he will do anything to get into her pants.

Suaru: Yes, Inuyasha's present is something perverted. However, when Kagome opened it, the result wasn't exactly what he had planned.

Lady Emerald Black: What everyone wants to know - the present. It will be revealed in this chapter what it is - at least I think it will. If I'm feeling evil, I'll make Kagome open the present next chapter, just to torture everyone a bit longer...

buwan angel: Inuyasha has realized Kagome existed for the past ten years, but since they moved in different circles, he has not really gotten to know her. He has not been attracted to her for that long as he never purposefully went after virgins and she kept herself away. Inuyasha is determined to get her this time, though, mostly because she insulted and slapped him, and he is determined to pay her back by breaking her spirit.

????: She'll definitely keep Inu-chan in line.

To my reviewers of mediaminer:

AmonLover: You are right. After all, Inuyasha has that uncanny ability of 'open-mouth-insert-foot' tactic that will some day get him 'sat' straight into hell. Pity she can't 'sit' him in this fic, but I prefer it for them to duel it out in a battle of wits rather than brute strength. With subduing spells, the victory would be too easy for Kagome, and that's no fun.

OhJoy: His personal maid caters to his EVERY need, meaning she also offers her body should he desire it. However, as she cleans Master's Inuyasha's room, the Takahashis are also asking her to clean the other bedroom on the second floor - Kagome's. Can't you just see the cat-fight?

Dave man: The price I was speaking of is the one for in state. I'm not sure where you're getting the $8,000 - $12,000, but the price I'm talking about includes tuition, room and board, meal plans, and most of the other expenses. At least, that's the price for one year at UCLA, the only college whose proceedings I'm familiar with since I'm currently enrolled there.

To my reviewers of adulfanfiction:

Ceaseless Cloudy Days: We are talking of a class of about 400 students. And by the tables I mean those nice plushy seats that are about 10 inches wide that have a little wooden board that can folded and raised, around perhaps 7 inches wide. Apparently, the school is too cheap to install real tables (wonder why, God knows I pay enough to go to college).

cherise: I hope the chapters were worth the wait. I hope you like this chapter.

kaff_jam: Wow, good guess. Inuyasha did INTEND to give Kagome a hot piece of lingerie. However, his family has some other ideas. So, yes and no, Inu's intend is clear, but that's not what's in the box.

Zelix: yep, I just love those love and hate relationships.

Sorena: What will happen once Kagome finally moves in with them? Well, let's just say that it will a time that none of the Takahashis will EVER forget.

Scented Candles: Thank you for your review. I'm really honored that you are still reading this. Yes, Kagome is definitely jealous, though she is currently in denial about her feelings for Inuyasha. As for kneeing him... well, Inuyasha being a hanyou might cause any blows she landed on him to be ineffective, but he's also male, and if nothing else hurts, that has to hurt.

FLRSBLUE: Thank you for the praise blush. As for your questions... I guess it depends where this story takes me. I have a general outline of what will happen, however these mental outlines have a tendency to change every time I update.

Ikiwi: Thank you, I will definitely continue. To see when my next updates will most likely occur, click here. However, I do not know which story I will update next. Since you left an e-mail address, though, I will e-mail you when I update, which may or may not be before the deadline.

AAR: Well, a lot of the crazy things in my fics come from my dreams. I just apply it to the characters and try to turn it a bit more realistic.

Kit Kitsune: Since you left your e-mail address, I will e-mail you when I update. As for that other question... I don't mean to seem rude, as I truly respect most of my reviewers, however, I fail to see why my gender is relevant to this story. Please remember that online I am Shizuka Kaze, sexless, faceless, just another one of the million fanfic authors out there. The internet is my haven where people won't judge me based on my ethnicity, gender, looks, or something like that. I don't know how many chapters this story will have, it all depends on my mood and how long this story captures my interest and how many twists I'll put in there.

Apathy5: The bite will be explained later, though I am not sure which chapter. If I say later, I don't mean the next chapter - I mean when the time is right.

fallenangel7583: Thank you so much. Your review totally brightened my day!

Kuramasgirl: Yes, Kikyou will have a part. As a matter of fact, she shows up in this chapter!

The Empress: Trust me, you don't want to make the person who will clean your room and go through your personal belongings your enemy. There are simply too many painful ways they can make life a living hell. Besides, the Takahashis are paying for Hana's service, so Kagome doesn't have much of a say in it.

Just A Fan: Thank you for defending me. I'm so happy that people like you are reading my story and feel so strongly about it.

Anon: Wow, I don't believe I have ever been insulted like that before by someone I don't know - I know I certainly have never been cussed at like that before. Anyway, just for the record, I don't push my fic to the front because I'm desperate or something, but because I catch grammar/spelling mistakes when I read what I've written over again. So, like any sane person I correct the errors. Adultfan automatically sees that as an update, which puts the story on the first page, even though the chapter number doesn't change. As for asking for reviews... most authors like to hear from their audience as well as their readers' opinions and thoughts. It's often an encouragement that many of us need, since there are also so much stuff going on in our lives.

Oh, here's a flame I received from someone who has obviously confused the review section with the insult-the-author-to-your-heart's-contend-with-unfounded-accusations section:

Hello? How old are you?

College libraries allow access to ANYTHING on the Internet. Why would an adult college student need permission from a professor in order to access online resources? Have you ever been in college? You certainly don't have a realistic view of how colleges operate. Are you still in high school where they use filters? If you are that young, why are you on an adult web site?

Well, whoever you are, if you are reading this, here's my reply:

Hello? How old are you? (Oh, and to the person who picked this: the stupidest idea is to use your topic for your name, since it means you lack creativity and dedication that you don't even have the enthusiasm to think up a decent pen name, and I'm not talking about those super-creative ones, but just a normal name that will be attributed to someone - for instance, like 'technicality-obsessed' seems to be fitting for you): For your information, I am 18 years old, and am a freshman in college. I do realize that the computers allow access to any sites and research can be done, however, remember that this my fanfiction, meaning I can do with it whatever I want. If you don't like it, go write your own, and you can choke on all the technicality for all I care. Anyway, if you have been reading carefully - something you seem to be incapable of doing - you'll realize that I wrote that Kagome is not allowed to sit in front of a computer and use it for research, not that the internet blocked off any useful sites. As for your next comment, I have a very realistic view of how universities operate since I am currently enrolled in one, but this is a fanfiction, not a newspaper report I intend to publish. Besides, how realistic do you expect something that has demons all over the place to be? Also, you might have guessed from the financial status of the Higurashis and Takahashis that this is a private school, meaning they can pretty much do whatever the hell they want. And, not only that, but I never specified where the school is,
meaning the culture where this is set could be very different from what you are used to. The price I mentioned in chapter one is indeed the price of one year at UCLA, in state, but that's only because it's the only amount for college I am familiar with, and by no means indicated that the location is in the U.S. As for the high school remark... need I to remind you that what I do in my free time in none of your business? If I choose to go to an adult website, that's my decision, and there's
absolutely nothing you can do about it. If you insist on bitching me out about my age instead of constructive criticism on my writing, I suggest you permanently remove yourself from leaving me and any other author reviews, or you'll find a reply that will make this seem like a soft summer breeze, especially if you don't get that condescending tone out of your writing.

On Adultfanfiction, thanks to fallenangel7583 (I strongly recommend her story "Curse of the dragon", it's awesome) and Scented Candles (I love her writing, too. It doesn't matter whether you're an Inu and Sess fan, she has something for everyone and her style just takes my breath away, just like her story "Breathless") for adding me to their "Recommended Readings" list.

Thanks to those who reviewed, and a special thank you to those who reviewed and added me to your favorites and alerts list. I'm guilty of not reviewing and just adding authors to my ever-growing list, but I still appreciate your people's feedback. You guys are great; I wouldn't have the determination to continue writing without your support.

Disclaimer: I getting really tired of writing these! Stupid copyrighters grumble, grumble. Why don't I just announce it over to everyone alive? - Hey, world! Can you hear me? I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! -

The Seduction Game

Summary: Inuyasha Takahashi is the guy no girl can resist, but when he sets his sights on Kagome Higurashi, he has met his match. When the young girl outright refuses him and angers him, he swore that he would break her and ruin her life. But neither can deny their attraction, nor were they prepared for the burning passion that threatened to consume them both. Yet can love be born out of hate and a need to dominate?

The Seduction Game

Chapter four: Arrival of Darkness

________________________________________________________________________________

Kagome stared at the box in her hand, curious. It was wrapped delicately with a silver ribbon trailing lightly in the breeze from the open window. Inuyasha had excused himself to tell his family of her decision, leaving her with her thoughts. She brought her head up as his footsteps echoed outside of her door again.

"May I open it?" She asked as he appeared.

An extra smug smile shone on his face. "Of course."

Biting her lip in concentration, she carefully pulled the ribbon, before trying to open the present without tearing the paper. Her brow furrowed as a plain, flat box appeared. She carefully opened it, a gasp escaping her. Turning brilliant eyes upon the half-demon, she smiled.

"Thank you. It's absolutely beautiful." She whispered.

"Glad you like it." He replied easily, his confusion hidden inside of him. She was delighted? Knowing her temper, he had expected a glare at best or a slap at worst.

"Anyway, my parents wish for you to stay for dinner." He explained, changing the subject.

Kagome tore her eyes away from the lovely object lying inside the box, to step toward Inuyasha, indicating her willingness with a gentle nod. "I'd love to."

Anything Inuyasha intended to say froze in his throat as he stared at her. Her movement had led her straight into the light of the setting sun. Her hair seemed even darker against the light, mixing with strands of glittering gold, bold copper, and fiery red. Her eyes had become bright blue in contrast, and her fair skin positively glowed. She was like a goddess, standing in the light of the celestial fireball. He unconsciously compared the sight with the one previously in their second class. The rain had shown a calmer, more tranquil side of Kagome, creating the illusion of an unattainable beauty, only to be seen, but never to be touched. However, the sun created an aura of friendliness around her, as if her sole purpose was to create love and grace this cold world with her presence and beauty. He snapped out of his trance as Kagome's
melodious voice brought him back to the present.

"Inuyasha, is there enough time for me to call Souta before dinner?"

With an easy shrug of his shoulder, he averted his gaze to prevent himself from getting lost again. "Sure. Hana will show you the dining room in about 15 minutes." And without a further word, he strode from the room, closing the door behind him.

Ignoring the hanyou's retreat, she took a quick peek at her watch, surprised to see the time. 'It's already seven? Good thing Sango is picking of Kohaku and Souta.' She inwardly cursed as she realized that she had forgotten to tell Sango why she herself was unable to pick Souta up. 'He must be worried.' She dug in her pocket around for her cell, only to remember that she had accidentally left it at home this morning. Opening the door, she peered around for the maid.

"Hana?" She called out timidly.

"Yes?" Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin at the icy voice sounding right next to her, and she briefly wondered how the girl could have gotten there that fast.

"Could you show me where the phone is?" The maid said nothing, just shot her a death glare, and led her toward a small alcove and handed her the cream-colored phone.

"What is your relationship with Lord Inuyasha?" Kagome raised an eyebrow, surprised at the unexpected question. This girl was acting like an ice queen who was obviously on fire for the hanyou. She almost snickered at how contradictory that statement sounded.

"The kind that forces him to acknowledge the fact that the world does not revolve around him." She answered calmly, refusing to elaborate on her enigmatic idea as she dialed her home phone. Catching the incredulous look the maid shot her, she suppressed a chuckle - Hana obviously thought differently.

"Moshi moshi, Higurashi residence. Souta speaking."

Kagome perked up. "Hi, Souta."

"Kagome!" The relief was apparent in his voice.

"Listen, Souta, I am over at a class-mate's house right now, so I won't be coming home for dinner. There's some microwavable frozen dinner in the fridge, or you can order something. You are, however, not to leave the house."

"Why?" Was the mulish reply.

Kagome sighed, wondering how her brother could be so dense sometimes. "Because it's late and I don't feel like searching half the city for you just because you decided to get drunk and forget the way home."

Souta grumbled some more before his voice changed. "So, Sis," Kagome nearly groaned at the sly tone - she knew what was coming next.

"Yes, yes, you may order a dozen Buffalo wings with a big serving of fries and a gallon Sprite." She agreed, already knowing Souta's question. Her brother loved this kind of dinner, but she hated the fact that the whole house smelled like grease afterwards.

"Great!" A slight pause. "Who's your class-mate? I don't recognize the phone number on the caller ID. Is it a boy?" A suggestive tone was evident in the question.

This time, Kagome did groan. "I'm at Inuyasha Takahashi's."

The yell nearly deafened her. "Inuyasha Takahashi? THE Inuyasha Takahashi? What's he like? Can I meet him sometime? Is he as..."

Kagome rolled her eyes. She knew telling Souta Inuyasha's name was a bad idea. The kid was sure to go into his hero-worship mode. "Bye, Souta, I'll be home later." She said firmly, cutting off her brother in mid rant, and hung up.

Kagome let out a sigh of relief, silently thanking Kami that the conversation with her brother hadn't turned out into another battle between them. Sometimes she hated the fact that Souta was eighteen and could pretty much do whatever he wanted.

"Miss, are you done?" The annoyed voice of the maid caused one eyebrow to rise sharply. Kagome had to bite her tongue to keep a sharp retort at bay. She was above wasting her breath with obsessive, clingy, and jealous girls. The amused voice at the end of the hall barely registered in her mind.

"Hana. Your services are needed downstairs."

The young girl bowed hastily, her expression softening as green eyes flashed with something close to adoration. "As you wish, Lord Inuyasha." She hurried towards the elevator, never acknowledging Kagome's burning gaze at her back.

The dark-haired girl sighed, running a weary hand through her raven locks. Living with the Takahashis was going to be stressful, she could already tell. However, the offer had been too good to pass up on. While she had been called many things in her twenty-two years of life, 'idiot' or 'fool' had never been among them. So absorbed was she in her thoughts that a surprised gasp escaped her as two warm arms encircled her waist and someone nuzzled her neck lovingly.

Soft chuckling filled her ears as she stiffened. "Ah, what did you do to make sweet Hana snap at you?" He whispered, his breath hot against her cool skin.

Kagome took a deep breath, trying to ignore the silly fluttering in her belly, knowing he did not really expect an answer. She jumped in shock as felt Inuyasha lick the sensitive spot behind her ear lightly. Her distraction gave the hanyou the chance to slip his hand into her shirt, under her bra. Kagome sagged against him, her bones no longer to support her as a soft moan escaped her lips, her eyes rolling back in her head as desire swamped her body. Inuyasha held her up effortlessly as he cupped one soft breast, his fingers expertly teasing her nipple, pulling and tugging at the hard nub. His eyes widened in surprise at the silky texture that met his long fingers. Her breast was full and fit perfectly into his palm, almost as if it had been designed with him in mind. He bit back a groan as Kagome began writhing in his arms, unconsciously pressing her soft bottom against his crotch. 'Damn responsive bitch!' He growled. 'If my parents weren't home I would have already claimed that sweet pussy of hers.' His nose twitched as a soft scent wafted to him. 'Damn, she smells good. I wonder what she tastes like...'

As if on cue, Kagura's soft voice drifted to them.

"Inuyasha, Kagome, dinner is ready."

The young girl's eyes snapped open, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment as she remembered her shameless behavior. She tore away from him, her chocolate orbs wide, and hurriedly straightened her shirt, pulling the material over her body. She shook her raven locks, shocked beyond speech. After hardly speaking to him for ten years, Inuyasha had managed to touch her where no man had touched her before in less than one day. Bile rose in her throat as she recalled how her traitorous body had betrayed all her hidden desires. Mumbling some incoherent words, she rushed toward the elevator, where an amused Kagura was waiting for her.

"My brother-in-law if quite the charmer, is he not?"

Kagome grumbled, silently cursing herself. All it had taken for her to submit had been one moment when she had let her guard down. She silently prayed that the demoness's nose could not pick up on her excitement. She growled out a reply "More like the molester."

Kagura laughed, pulling Kagome in the elevator with her before slamming the door in Inuyasha's face, ignoring his violent curses. 'I'm impressed, any other girl would have submitted a long time ago. I've never seen him work so hard to get into a girl's pants.' she admitted. 'Inuyasha will have his hands full.' She choked back a laugh as she imagined her brother-in-law suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

The doors opened with a soft ding, and Kagura stepped out, with Kagome following behind. "I hope the food is to your liking." Kagura said. "Inutaisho was unaware that Inuyasha was bringing you." She lied through her teeth, silently cursing her mate by giving her this job. "So I hope you won't mind if the dishes are rather simple."

Kagome laughed, her eyes filled with merriment. "After living on microwavable food for the last 6 month, you have no idea how good a home-made dinner sounds."
________________________________________________________________________________

The table was decked in soft green, with two small vases containing a single pure white rose. Inutaisho sat at the head of the table, Izayoi at his right, the seat always reserved for the wife of the Lord. On his left sat Sesshoumaru, and next to his seat was Kagura. Inuyasha was on the right of his mother, and Kagome sat next to him. Between Kagome and Kagura sat Rin. The young girl seemed extremely excited and kept sneaking glances at the dark-haired girl sitting on her left.

Inutaisho clasped his hands as everyone was seated, and each member of the family followed his lead, closing their eyes. Kagome was surprised to learn that the Takahashis prayed before every meal. Inutaisho's soft voice rumbled, comforting and grateful as he thanked the Great InuKami for Kagome and the meal. There was a moment of silence as he finished, before two maids rushed to bring plates to the table.

Inuyasha smiled as he saw Kagome's dumb-founded look. She obviously had no idea what some of the plates were. He took it upon himself to explain, acting as if their previous encounter that never happened. "The appetizers are usually part of the Chinese cuisine, while the dessert will be Western Style. Don't worry, the main course will be Japanese." Kagome could only nod as Inuyasha pointed out the different kinds of foods out to her.

As the main course arrived, Kagome's eyes lit up. Kagura, noticing the change, smiled.

"I guess you like Oden?" she inquired, though she knew the answer already.

Kagome nodded, enthusiastically.

"Yes, it's my favorite."
She took a small mouthful of the helping Kagura had placed in front of her, and surprise flittered across her face. "It's delicious!"

Kagura simply nodded, and made a mental note to give Ichigo, the cook, a raise. The rest of dinner was a quiet affair, the conversation flowing but not boisterous. Kagome enjoyed the quiet sense of peace, ignoring the heated looks and seductive smirks Inuyasha kept sending her. Sesshoumaru growled low in his throat.

"Inuyasha, your dinner did not suddenly acquire mobility and decided to change its location to your right."

The hanyou returned the growl as Kagome blushed scarlet, grateful that Inutaisho and Izayoi had ignored that comment. Praying to every Kami alive, she hoped that this conversation would never get out. She wasn't quite sure if she would survive the embarrassment.

A soft clearing of throat brought all silent and vocal communications to a halt, and the girl noticed that the plates had been cleaned off the table.

"Inuyasha, why don't you take Kagome home? It's already late, and I'm certain Kagome has classes tomorrow, just like you do." Inutaisho suggested, stifling a smile at the half-horrified, half-suffering expression on Kagome's face. Kagura had been right, he definitely liked the girl.

"Of course, father." Inuyasha replied, a shadow of a smirk tugging at the corner of his sensual lips. He bowed, excusing himself, and left towards the garage with Kagome following him. With a painful expression she lowered herself onto the passenger seat, as if Inuyasha had forced her to sit on a plane with sharp needles instead the nice leather interior of the Ferrari.
________________________________________________________________________________

"Inuyasha? Can I ask you something?" The hanyou took his eyes of the road momentarily to glance at the girl beside him. She was chewing her lip nervously, her hands clenched together. He gave a curt nod, slightly apprehensive himself, wondering what could be so important that she would become a nervous wreck about it.

"Well... Why are you taking Micro-economics and Macro-economics? Those are beginning classes!" She finally blurted out, hoping he would not become angry at her prying. Sitting in the same car with a furious hanyou was NOT an appealing idea. Relief washed through her as he laughed, though irritation and frustration quickly rose as he continued to laugh so hard that he had to stop the car next to the road to avoid crashing into some innocent bystander, tears leaking from his eyes.

"And may I ask just what exactly you find so amusing?" She snapped tartly, folding her hands across her chest.

Inuyasha continued to laugh, and finally managed to choke out, "You." Before another laughing fit seized him again.

"I'm so glad I amuse you!" Kagome snapped, her blue-grey orbs flashing, though she did notice how Inuyasha's golden eyes sparkled in the night, the tears reflecting the light. Mentally scolding herself for such thoughts, she waited impatiently for him to stop shrieking like a hyena, and calm down enough to talk to her like a civilized man, tapping her foot on the floor.

"I'm glad you think so, too." Inuyasha finally answered. "But you should have seen how nervous you were. From your anxiety level, I expected something along the lines of a proposal or sex."

She flushed darkly. "How dare you... I'd rather sleep with a corpse than you!" She snapped, but cringed when she saw his eyes flash in anger. A hand shot out, grabbing her chin tightly and bringing her face close to his.

"Watch your mouth, bitch!" He snarled. "You'll be begging for me to fuck you soon enough." He closed his mouth over hers in a bruising kiss in punishment. One hand trapped both her slender wrists over her head while the other one fondled her roughly. Kagome writhed against him in panic, her screams muffled by his mouth. Yet, despite the protests her body was reacting to his touch, her back arching slightly. Kagome could feel him smirk against her mouth, but was far too intoxicated with his taste to care. However, as his long fingers pinched her inner thigh cruelly, a cold chill of reality washed over her. Opening her mouth, she bit his lip, hard, recognizing the coppery taste of blood. Inuyasha pulled away from her, cursing as he brought his finger to his lips, trying to assess the damage.

"You bit me, bitch!" His eyes flickered between red and gold, but Kagome tried to ignore the signs, her own rage matching his.

"It was your fault, asshole!" She yelled, her anger masking a horrified expression. 'Shit, I can't believe I'm turned on by his demon nature!'. Her thigh was throbbing from his pinch, sending delightful shivers through her body. Who had thought that pain could bring her such pleasure? 'That sadistic idiot!'

Inuyasha opened his mouth for a retort, but froze as Kagome's scent changed. He sniffed lightly, and his fury melted away to be replaced by that smirk she was starting to hate.

"You are right." He agreed amiably.

Kagome blinked in surprise. She had expected a perverted comment, not an admission. "I am?"

He started the car again, shrugging carelessly. "Yeah, it my fault." A sly glance was shot her way. "My fault that you are turned on. My fault that you are wet." His voice lowered to a seductive whisper. "My fault that you want me to fuck you senseless."

"Inuyasha!" she screeched. "I never said that!"

"You didn't deny it, either."

"Jerk."

"Bitch."

"Bastard."

"Wench."

"Barbarian."

"Whore."

"Walking STD."

"Slut."

"Insufferable pig!"

Inuyasha sighed. "This is starting to sound familiar."

Kagome crossed her arms over her chest, irritation plain across her face. "Yeah, and last time I won!"

Inuyasha sighed again. "No, you didn't win - you slapped me."

"Yeah, and that shut you up, so that means I win. There!"

The Hanyou shook his head, wondering how a 22-year-old could sound like a fourth grader being denied a cookie. 'Crazy bitch.'

Inuyasha hesitated for a moment, before he said "I don't know."

Kagome's head snapped up, unaware that he remembered and was answering her original question. "What?"

"You asked why I'm taking lower-division classes, remember? Well, I don't know." The dark-haired girl lifted her eyebrows disbelievingly, but did not interrupt as Inuyasha continued. "Before I decided to major in Business/Financial Economics, I agreed to take a test that would proclaim my proficiency in all the lower-division classes and move straight to the upper division ones. I passed."

A smile tugged at the corner of Kagome's lips, and Inuyasha was again struck by how quickly she changed emotions. "Passed, huh? Probably barely. What did you get, a 60%?"

"If you must know, I passed with a perfect score." Inuyasha said haughtily, scowling.

Kagome pouted. "A perfect score? I can't even do that by taking the regular classes! People like you ought to be arrested!"

"And girls like you need to learn how to keep their mouth shut." His voice turned from smooth to perverted. "Of course, I could always help you keep it busy."

"Keep a leash on that muscle, dog boy." She warned, "Or you'll crash because you were too busy shoving your tongue down my throat. I don't want you to be the last person I see before I die."

Inuyasha ignored her last comment. "Who said anything about french-kissing you?"

Kagome simply raised her eyebrows, pinning him with a look that would have made Sesshoumaru cower in fear, but Inuyasha paid it no heed.

"When I talked about keeping your mouth busy I meant with you on your knees in front of me, your head between my thighs." He smirked as understanding dawned on her face. "Fellatio, sweetheart."

His smirk disappeared quickly as Kagome yanked on his ear, hard. He yelped loudly, "Damn it, woman! That hurt!" He growled low in his throat. 'Why must they always go for the ears?'

"You deserved it!" she snapped. "Grow up and stop acting like a spoiled brat! It's time you realized you can't have everything you want!"

Inuyasha set him jaw, his voice firm and determined. "You are right. However, you will not deny me. I will have you, one way or another."

She snorted, a look of disdain etched on her pretty features. "Sure, when hell freezes over!"

He shrugged nonchalantly. "If that's what it takes... then hell shall freeze over."

Kagome stared at him in utter disbelief. How could anyone be so arrogant? Or better yet, how could anyone make her lose her temper in one day enough to last her a lifetime? "I will never be with a man I do not love." She stated resolutely, but refused to face him as she spoke, opting instead to stare out of the window. He had brought her body to life in a way she hadn't deemed possible. Briefly she wondered if any other man could arouse passions in her like the hanyou could, but dismissed the notion. He was not the only male on this earth... and if no one could, she would rather spend her life as a spinster than to give into him and have her heart broken just as he would break her body and spirit, if given the chance.

Inuyasha stilled for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was uncharacteristically soft and he bowed his head, his bangs hiding the brilliant pools of molten gold. "Would it be so bad to love me?"

Kagome froze. There was a kind of vulnerability in Inuyasha's voice she had never heard before - nor, she doubted, anyone else had. She averted her eyes. "Maybe." she whispered, unsure. Though she had given an indefinite reply, she knew the answer buried deep in her heart. No, loving him wouldn't be bad, but not being loved in return would hurt her. Giving Inuyasha's past, he would use her for his selfish pleasures and then discard her. That would kill her. She could love him, but would not. She could not be in a relationship purely based on lust. "I'm sorry."

He shrugged, lifting his head, and his visage scared Kagome. He was usually such an expressive person, but now, an ice mask, not unlike Sesshoumaru's, had dropped over his features. His golden gaze was hooded, guarded, and something inside Kagome hurt that he had to be so careful around her. "What for?"

"I don't know." She whispered, unsure what else to say.

The rest of the ride was spent in silence, neither saying a word. The dark-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief as the town-house finally came into view. The silence inside the car had been deafening, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Grabbing her bag, she stepped from the car, only to suddenly find the hanyou at her side. She raised an eyebrow as he wordlessly tugged the bag from her hand and accompanied her to the front door. At her questioning gaze, he explained.

"Since I took the trouble of driving you out here, I'm not risking you getting mugged."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Kami, Inuyasha, it's maybe twenty steps from the car to the door. I'm not five-years-old."

"You sure act like one." Was the sharp retort.

She snorted. "Look who's talking!"

Inuyasha gave another shrug, stopping her hand as she sought to insert the key into the lock. Before Kagome knew what had happened, he had her pressed against the wall, his hands entwined with hers. She swallowed a gasp, the incident oddly similar to the one at school. He kissed her hungrily, angrily, his mouth hot and branding on hers. A shocked cry escaped her lips as he molded every curve of her soft body to his muscular one, one hard thigh forcing its way between her legs. Kagome moaned, her head tipping back in pleasure as he pushed upward, his thigh cradled between hers. His hands left hers to roam over her lithe figure as Kagome abandoned her inhibitions, her hips rocking frantically against his thigh. Inuyasha was breathing hard as he finally pulled his lips from hers, though the girl riding him so wantonly was too far gone to care or notice.

"That's it, baby. Let it go, and cum for me." His breath fanned across her ear. "For me, only me."

"Inuyasha?" Her voice sounded breathless to her own ears, though her mind had clearly a little. She thanked every god she knew for Inuyasha's vulgar vocabulary. They seemed to always have the ability to pull back from whatever haze he had covered her mind with.

"Yes, baby? What is it? What do you want?" His voice still retained the husky quality, and Kagome shivered despite her resolves.

She smiled, her voice syrupy sweet. "Go screw yourself."

Inuyasha couldn't help but chuckle wearily. "Stubborn to the core, aren't you?" He pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek. "Good night, princess."

And without a further word, he strode from her toward the car, never turning back. Kagome watched him drive away, as still as a shadow, and felt as if her soul had been torn from her.

"Good night, Inuyasha." The wind carried her whispered words far into the night. Somehow, he heard, and smiled.

"Sango, pick up the phone! Sango, pick up the phone!" The girl lying sleepily in bed groaned, her hand fumbling wildly to find the annoying voice vibrating on her desk. She pressed the 'connect' button, making a mental note to change the ring tone. Sure, it had been cute and witty she had first thought of changing the tone to her own voice telling her to pick up the phone, but at the age of 23 it was really getting ridiculous.

"Hello?" she muttered irritably, silently promising a painful death for the one who had dared to wake her up at such an ungodly hour.

"Sango!" The girl grimaced at the loud voice, holding the phone away from her ear, almost as if afraid that it would bite her.

"Kagome! What in bloody hell is so damn important that you could not wait..." she check the clock quickly "... another two hours and 36 minutes to tell me but had to wake me up at this unholy hour when every sensible person it still asleep?"

There was a short silence on the other end of the phone. "Have you known Inuyasha closely for a long time?" The voice sounded odd.

Sango sighed. "You woke me up from my beauty sleep to ask me this? To answer the question, yes I've known him for eight years already. Why?"

"Oh." Kagome paused. "No wonder you are starting to sound like him."

"Hey!" Sango protested. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." The other girl assured quickly. "I just wondered why you've never mentioned him before."

"Why this sudden interest in dog-boy? You've met him ten years ago, but you never mentioned his name before today." A sharp intake of breath followed by a muttered curse sounded. "Don't tell me the idiot tried to seduce you?"

"Well... no and yes."

Sango raised an eyebrow at her friend's not-answer. "Do explain." she commented dryly.

"No, he's not an idiot - he's an asshole and too many other unfavorable names that would take too long to list, and yes, he tried to seduce me. Or, more actually, tried to get into my pants." Kagome's voice was matter-of-fact.

Sango swore darkly. "That fool! I'll rip his ears off! I'll tear him limb from limb! I'll crucify him! That dumbass! How dare he?! I'll rip his skin off, dissect him..."

Kagome shuddered on the other end of the line. Where in the world had her best friend learned so many gruesome techniques for killing someone painfully and slowly? 'Note to self: Never piss of Sango Kuwajima unless I'm looking for an early retirement into my grave!' Kagome winced audibly as she listened to her best friend describe the seventh degree of the third category of punishment used in China during the Hang dynasty - binding the criminal tightly in a fishnet and cutting his flesh off piece by piece, using 3599 strokes, before the last cut pierces his heart (A.N., this technique actually existed, called the 'qian dao wan gua', roughly translated as 'thousand cuts and ten thousand scratches'). "Please, stop, Sango-chan, you'll give me nightmares."

Sango stopped her rant in midriff. "Oh, yea, Kagome, that reminds me, why did you call me?"

"What? I can't even call my best friend without a reason anymore?"

"That's not what I meant, and you know it. If it was nothing important or exciting or both, you would waited until class to tell me about it."

"Darn it! You know me to well!"

"So, tell me, what happened.

"Well, he gave me one of the most beautiful objects I've ever seen and Kagura Kaze offered me a room at their mansion."
________________________________________________________________________________

"What?!"

Inuyasha held the phone a foot away from his sensitive ears, staring at it with a half-terrified _expression as if the harmless object that marked the advances of modern technology of communication had suddenly become a poisonous snake.

"Miroku!" He roared. "Hey, remember the ears, man?"

"Never mind the ears, now. Tell me, how did she react?"

"You know, I was surprised."

"Oh really? What did she do? Jump your bones?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, wondering how a monk with the reputation for being a ruthless businessman could still be such a letch. He laughed, "I wish."

"So I'm guessing she didn't?" Miroku sounded disappointed.

Inuyasha growled. "You were hoping for details, weren't you, bouzo?"

"Hey, Inuyasha, we always used to share our conquests."

"Yeah, 'used to' being the keyword here. I swore no more details after you insisted on showing me the video you made of yourself and Bota during one of your 'encounters'.

Miroku laughed nervously. Inuyasha had nearly taken his head off after that incident. While Inuyasha couldn't kill him over the phone right now, he had no desire to find out whether Inuyasha would remember his anger long enough to try to finish him off in class later. "Inuyasha, we were getting off topic!" He reminded.

Inuyasha made a noncommittal sound, so Miroku continued.

"Let's run over this one more time. You invited her to your house, a place where nearly nobody knows even exists, introduced her to your immediate family, talked her into moving in with you..."

"That was Kagura!" Inuyasha protested, but his friend ignored him.

"... gave her a hot piece of lingerie as a present, and she didn't slap or yell at you?"

"Yep, she simply smiled and said thank you." He grinned arrogantly. "Well, you know no woman can resist me."

The faint noises downstairs caught Inuyasha's attention. "Listen, monk, I'll talk to you later." And without saying goodbye, he hung up just as Hana knocked on his open door. "Master Inuyasha, the Lady Izayoi and Kagura request your presence at the dining table."

He gave a curt nod. "I'll be there."

He took the stairs, knowing his mother hated being kept to be waiting, and since he was only on the second floor, waiting for the elevator was a waste of time. Besides, he needed to went some nervous energy. His mother never requested his presence before breakfast - unless he did something wrong. So he was surprised when he stepped in the kitchen to find the atmosphere relaxed, Kagura and his mother chattering amiably over a cup of coffee, a covered bag sitting on one of the chairs.

"Mother." He greeted respectfully.

The Lady Izayoi indicated him to sit, and Inuyasha shifted uncomfortably to find both women's attention focused entirely on him the minute he sat down.

"So, Inu-chan..." Kagura began innocently, only to be interrupted by her hot-headed brother-in-law.

"Stop calling me that ridiculous nickname, Kagura." He snapped, his temper rising. "I'm no longer that little boy you met seventeen years ago!"

"It's alright, Inuyasha." His mother pacified. "We just wanted to ask you about Kagome."

"Oh?" His senses went on total alert, and he hoped to every god he knew that his mother hadn't changed her mind about renting the girl a room."

Kagura and Lady Izayoi exchanged a secretive smile that he did not like.

"You see, sweetheart," his mother stated sweetly, too sweetly, "we were simply wondering how Kagome liked her present."

Inuyasha furrowed his brow. "How did you know..." he began, before understanding dawned on his face as Kagura chuckled. "You didn't..."

"We did." Izayoi explained calmly as the wind youkai reached into the covered bag and pulled out a familiar skimpy red lingerie - too familiar.

"Hey," Inuyasha protested, making a grab for it, but Kagura had anticipated the move, and kept the garment well out of the hanyou's reach.

"It's mine." She said calmly, eyeing the silk. "I believe Sesshoumaru might like it."

"It's mine!" Inuyasha insisted.

"Not anymore." Kagura answered cheerfully. "Call it compensation, Inu-chan."

"I told you not to call me that!" He whined. "Besides, I need it!"

"Oh, don't be silly, sweetheart." His mother admonished. "It's not like you would ever wear it."

"Mother!" He cried out, shocked.

"Inuyasha, be reasonable." Izayoi sighed.

"But why does Kagura get to have it?" He pouted, shooting a venemous glare at his sister-in-law's retreating back. "I bought it!"

"Because, Kagura gave Kagome one of her favorite fans. It's a fair trade."

"But how did you know I had a present prepared?"

"Your brother and Kagura inspected the room after you called Hana during recess to tidy it up and set it to your liking. Well, neither of them thought you would want to scare the poor girl off."

Inuyasha scowled. "How could they have known what was in the box? It's not like they have x-ray vision or something."

Izayoi slowly took a sip from her coffee. "Smell, sweetheart. Your brother's nose smelled the silk and the kind of the perfume they use frequently at one of the lingerie stores you seem to like."

"Bastard." Inuyasha growled, fisting his hands.

"Inuyasha! He is your brother!" Izayoi's gentle voice had raised a notch, the only indication that she was displeased.

"Half-brother." Inuyasha corrected.

"But brother none-the-less, not to mention a part of the family. You are, under no circumstances, to refer to him like that. He has as much claim on this family as you do."

"But mom, it's not like he shows me any respect or anything."

"Just because he decides to do that doesn't mean it's right."

"Yes, mother." Inuyasha murmured. "By the way, which fan did Kagura give Kagome?"

Izayoi took another sip of her coffee, her shoulders relaxing slightly before answering in a nonchalant way, "The ogi no ryu tsume ."

Inuyasha's mouth dropped open. "Not the Dragon Claw fan? The one that has a dragon on one side and a phoenix on the other?"

"Precisely." Izayoi smirked inwardly at the dumbfounded expression on her son's face.

Inuyasha appeared shocked. "The legendary Dragon Claw fan. The fan that was interwoven with..."

A crash from the next room followed by sounds of objects falling broke off Inuyasha's words. His nose twitched, catching the scent of burning rubber and the flucations of an extremely powerful youki. With a growl for his mother to stay where she was, he rushed out toward the waiting area. One step into the hall caused him to freeze.

Kagura stood in a grouch, her fan open in attack position, every nerve in her body taut. Her hair was in a disarray, her ruby eyes flashing, and teeth bared in a predator's snarl. Her fingers clutched the fan so tightly that her knuckles had turned white, and Inuyasha could see her wrist twitching, ready to hurl a blast of wind at the opponent with the slightest indication. The hanyou realized with a sinking feeling that the youki he'd smelled had been hers - and whatever had set her off, it was bad. The last time he had smelled that particular scent, she had been facing off her father, trying to stop Naraku from murdering her wounded mate.

He shifted his gaze opposite of Kagura, and felt a unconscious growl forming in his chest as his eyes flickered from molten gold to red. He recognized that face, that scent, and especially that weapon.

"Kikyou."
