Chapter Text
Kagome sighed, fixing her shorts, they were shorter than she was used to. Yuka dressed her before they went out, her in dark purple short shorts, with black fishnets and a black lacy top that showed off a cleavage. Sighing again, she shifted on her high heels, her feet already hurting as she pushed some of the loose hair out of her face, the wind brushing her cheeks as she and Yuka waited in line at the club that Yuka had been harassing her to go to.
The two of them had graduated high school and both wanted to get out of Japan. Kagome wanted to escape her family who didn't seem to handle her now that the jewel was done. They didn't seem to handle the difference in her personality. She was no longer a happy person who smiled and tried to help people. She saw the darkness in the world and she was drawn to it.
Kagome wanted fun and danger. She was used to fighting and it became a normal thing for her to want to fight and draw blood. It was something she had to bite down on the urge to do so she faked it. As she finished high school and started college, Yuka who had lost her own family wanted out of Japan and told her an idea of going to a college where she had an online friend from.
Yuka and Kagome made plans and sorted everything out. The two were roommates and went to college and were out of Japan. Kagome tried to keep in contact with her family for the first year, but soon her phone calls were left unanswered and she stopped trying. She threw herself into her studies...so much she hardly paid attention to the years that seemed to fly by for her.
She was now twenty-one, the reason they were at the club. Yuka wanted to celebrate her birthday. Her big Twenty-one. Kagome didn't celebrate her birthday since Yuka couldn't go out to the club yet...so now that Yuka is old enough she wants to get drunk to make up for the missed party. Since moving to Gotham Yuka had been a party person when not at school. Kagome had been surprised she was even passing her classes with how much she goes out.
"Come on Kagome, it's our turn," Yuka spoke, snapping Kagome out of her thoughts as she was dragged into the club, passing the bouncer who stood at the door only letting so many people in at a time. He glanced at the two as they passed but said nothing.
The second they entered the large crowded area the sound from the music blared and the vibrations thrummed through the dance floor. The air was hot, stuffing and layered with sweet perfume and the scent of sweat and alcohol. Eagerly Yuka dragged her to the bar, fishing out her ID and let everyone know it was her twenty-first birthday.
Kagome sighed, Yuka would most likely down anything and everything offered to her and it would be up to her to keep track of her. Joy.
"What about you sweetie?" Blinking at the bartender she could only offer a small tight smile. She could feel his eyes going over her body but ignored it.
"Just some coke please." She bit back a snort as Yuka gave a low huff of annoyance.
"Kagome, come on it's my birthday! Make it a rum and coke!" Her voice was a high-pitched whine and it reminded her of when Rin and Shippo would beg for candy. Pushing the memories away she could only sigh and nod to the bartender who was looking at her for her permission.
"Fine, but only one drink." Yuka squealed as she downed her own fruity drink and was instantly handed another.
It was going to be a long night.
It was an hour later, and six forced drinks later found Kagome relaxing and unwinding, her body swaying with the beat as she kept a semi-close eye on Yuka. The girl had been all over the place hoping around from person to person gathering free birthday drinks.
A few had been shoved into her hands and she had downed them if only to keep it from getting into Yuka, the girl was a flirty drunk and she really didn't want to spend the night prying her away from makeout sessions with random men. Even so, she was starting to feel a light buzz, not enough to affect her thoughts but enough to let herself enjoy the music and its vibrations.
Never having been in a club before she was amazed at how nice it looked, it was furnished in tones of gold. Dimly lit but a few draping light fixtures added more than enough light. It was tasteful and it made sense that the line to get in had been so long.
"Kagomeeee come dance with me!" Hearing her name called Kagome turned to see Yuka, her face was flushed as she sipped from another drink, her gaze pleading with her. Sighing Kagome could only nod as she moved towards the obviously drunk woman.
"Okay, but promise you'll slow down." Yuka pouted but nodded as she downed her drink and left it on the bar before launching herself at her and dragging her onto the dance floor. It was crowded and people were laughing as they moved to the beat. Letting Yuka take the lead she could only laugh as Yuka spun her and began moving to the beat of the music.
The two had danced for a few more songs before Yuka went off and started flirting, and Kagome knew that Yuka either wasn't going to be coming home, or Kagome was going to have to have headphones on all night.
Kagome rolled her eyes and made her way back to the bar for something to drink. She flagged down the bartender, flashing a smile before requesting water. She didn't need any more alcohol in her system if Yuka was already on major flirting. She would have to either make sure the person she is going home with is not going to take advantage of her too much...or that they weren't going to steal or kidnap the girl into sex trafficking. Gotham wasn't a place you trusted people. You had to be watching your back at all times if you were a normal citizen.
Finishing her water Kagome saw that Yuka was dancing with a man, grinding into him as she gave him coy smiles. Shaking her head she went back to the dance floor, close to a cage that had a woman with blond hair with streaks of blue and red on at the ends of her hair. She turned away from her as she started to dance to the new song. Letting her body get lost in the song, as her body relaxed.
Kagome didn't know she was catching attention at her dancing, she was too lost in the music. She was retched out of her dancing when arms went around her and she was lifted off her feet.
Kagome yelped giving a curse but was silenced as she was thrown into the cage she had been next to and into the woman's arms who was giving her a Cheshire grin.
Kagome could only blink as the blonde gave her a wink and placed her hands on her hips to get her to move once again to the music. Flushing red at the attention of the whole club on her and the blonde she could only go with the flow, a challenging look in her eyes.
She could tell the other woman was not only teasing her but challenging her and she had never backed down from a challenge. Wrapping her arms around the blonde's shoulders she could only smirk as the blonde seemed to falter a moment before moving even closer to her, their bodies touching and moving together in a sensual dance.
As the music wound around them it made her relax as she focused on just enjoying herself. Her eyes slid closed as the blonde moved closer, her breath wafting over the shell of her ear.
"What's your name darlin?" Her accent was thick, sounding like something from Brooklyn, New York. She herself had never been but Yuka been obsessed with shows based in the fast-moving city so she knew what the accent sounded like.
Cracking open an eye she could only flush as the blonde let her hands run down her back and gave a quick but from grope of her backside. The urge to reach out and her smack was repressed, this was not the feudal era and this woman was not Miroku.
"Kagome, what about you blondie?" Rude, she knew but hey the woman had just grabbed her ass. The blonde smiled as she twirled around and pressed her back into her front, pressing her ass into her groin as she dropped it low before slowly bringing herself back up.
"Harley, nice ta metcha." Kagome could only gulp as Harley twirled once again and wrapped her arms around her shoulder, bringing her red painted lips closer to her, mischief dancing in her eyes.
