A quick little inukagkog ficlet inspired by a conversation on the Inuyasha Mothership Discord

In the Name of Love

Inuyasha was seriously rethinking his life choices. He could have been at home, on his comfy sofa, beer in hand, enjoying his birthday with a modicum of privacy.

Instead he’d just finished a quick piss in an unnervingly bright bathroom in a fancy ass steakhouse, and had now returned to a suspiciously empty table. A table where only a few minutes ago, Kagome and Kouga had been sitting, supposedly waiting for him after his birthday dinner. There were some empty shot glasses that weren’t there before, mixed in with the empty beer glasses.

Damn, he knew he shouldn’t have left them. Kagome was at the flirty, giggly, loud stage of drunkenness – adorable, but also a little unpredictable. Kouga was no where near drunk, but he didn’t require alcohol to be obnoxious. He adored them both, but left to their own devices, the two of them loved nothing better than making a public spectacle of themselves.

He sat down at the empty table and sipped his beer, his eyes scanning the crowd for them and also planning an escape route. If Kouga wheeled over a giant cake and Kagome jumped out of it, that would be it – he’d never be able to come back here again, even if their porterhouse steak was the best he’d ever had.

“Yoo hoo lover, you lookin’ for us?”

Kagome’s slightly slurred voice was magnified by the microphone in her hand. Kouga was standing next to her, the fanged smile on his face equal parts endearing and unnerving. And they were standing next to the karaoke machine. Fuck.

“So, it’s someone’s birthday tonight. And we’d like to sing that someone a song. Come up here babe!”, grinned Kouga, beckoning to him with a clawed finger. Kagome was waving at him excitedly. Inuyasha sunk a little lower in his seat, his hand rising up to cover his cheek.

“Don’t be a spoilsport Inuuuu!”, Kagome squealed. “Come up here! I promise I’ll make it worth your while when we get home!”

Cat calls and whistles erupted around the bar, and other patrons began tapping their glasses with cutlery.

“Don’t think I won’t come over there and pick you up!” called out Kouga, and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Grudgingly, he got to his feet, and the crowed clapped and cheered.

How bad could it be? They’d just sing happy birthday, and then they could pay the bill and all go home. Someone passed Kouga a chair, and Kagome ran down to meet him, tugging on his hand.

“Sit down, birthday boy, we got a special song planned for you!” she giggled.

“Whaddya mean, special?” growled Inuyasha suspiciously.

“You’re gonna love it”, she purred, kissing him on the chin.

As soon as his butt hit the seat, the song started playing. And it was not Happy Birthday. As soon as the guitar riffs and the heavy beat began playing, Inuyasha’s eyes widened. Oh shit.

“Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon, get it on Livin' like a lover with a radar phone”

Kagome was strutting around him, one hand on her hip as she sang, while Kouga’s hands planted quickly on his shoulders, no doubt knowing he was ready to bolt.

“She really wanted to do this for you”, Kouga whispered, only loud enough for Inuyasha to hear, and he nodded, letting out a long sigh and relaxing his shoulders, despite the embarrassment flooding his cheeks. Both of them would do anything for Kagome, anything to make her happy.

The lights above them brought out the highlights in Kagome’s hair, and the excited gleam in her eyes as she sang, her baby blues locked on his, and he couldn’t help but smile. He knew why she’d chosen this song – it had been one of his favourites growing up, one they often played air guitar to at his house when they were mucking around instead of doing homework together.

He and Kagome had already been a couple by the time they went to university. And then they’d met Kouga, a wolf demon with a bucket load of charisma, who had rented the second bedroom in their apartment.

All of them had fallen hard. He was someone they’d never thought they’d needed, but somehow he’d just made the best thing even better. And now here they were, five years later, still committed to each other.

“Pour some sugar on me Ooh, in the name of love Pour some sugar on me C'mon, fire me up Pour your sugar on me I can't get enough”

Kagome sang the main vocals, and Kouga moved to stand beside her, his deeper voice growling out the baseline, winking at Inuyasha as he sang the next line.

“You got the peaches, I got the cream Sweet to taste, saccharine Cause I'm hot (hot), say what, sticky sweet From my head, (head, head), my head to my feet”

Kagome moved to stand in front of him, her finger beckoning. “Do you take sugar? One lump or TWO?”

He couldn’t help but snort at that lyric and the way Kagome had emphasised the word; Kouga was outright laughing by now.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome towards him, sitting her on his lap, moving the microphone in her hand towards his mouth so they could share it, and then reached out for Kouga with his other hand, so they could all finish the song together.

“Pour some sugar on me Oh, in the name of love Pour some sugar on me Get it, come get it Pour your sugar on me Oh Pour some sugar on me Yeah, sugar me”

The crowd whistled and cheered, and Kouga bowed, grinning.

“Did you like your birthday song Inu?” whispered Kagome, nuzzling into his neck. Tipsy Kagome was always an overly affectionate kitten.

“Yeah, I did baby”, he chuckled. “But both of you deserve birthday spanks when we get home.”

"Promises promises", winked Kouga.
