"So how about tonight?"

"Can't. I'm with my girlfriend."

"Aww :("

"Hey, who are you so busy talking to?" Kagome asked her boyfriend, Inuyasha.

"N-nobody. I'm just checking my notifications." He faltered as he tossed his phone to the foot of the bed.

"Oh. So what do you wanna do?" She asked as she lied on his chest.

"I dunno. Watch a movie I guess."

"A movie?" She pouted. "How about we go out somewhere? I'm so bored!"

"Sorry baby. Maybe another day."

The next day

Kagome was at her job as a fashion consultant at TFP—better known as the Tokyo Fashion Police; A clothing store and fashion consultation department in one.

"So how was your weekend with Inuyasha?" Her best friend, Sango asked.

"We didn't do anything." Kagome sighed disappointedly. "We just laid in bed, had sex and I cleaned his room."

"Wow. Not one romantic date? You need to dump that guy. He's such a loser."

"He is not! He's brave, courageous kindhearted when he's not being a jerk and—"

"Alright, alright!" She said as she waved her hands. "We have a customer!" She told her, pointing at a dark haired, blue eyed male that had stepped in.

Kagome waltzed up to him with a smile on her face. "Welcome to TFP! My name is Kagome. How can I help you?"

He stared at her, then looked up at Sango in confusion. "You're both new, yes?"

Kagome nodded. "Sorta. We've been here for a month and a half. We just finished college. This is somewhat of an externship for Tokyo Fashion Institute students."

He nodded. "Ah. So what do you want to do afterward?" He asked as he picked up a silk blue shirt and studied it.

"Well I plan to create my own clothing line. I already design my own clothes a-and—Sorry. I'm talking too much." Kagome giggled nervously.

He boasted a charming, fang filled side smirk. "I hope you achieve your goals."

"Thank you." She blushed. "S-so…how can I help you, today?"

The man smiled at Kagome. "Well I was just looking for something to wear to a party. Nothing too fancy, ya know?"

"Price range?"

He shrugged. "I don't have one. I'll pay whatever."

Ka-Ching. Rich customer. Kagome always loved when wealthy customers came to the store.

"Alright. I'll see what I can do for you. What's your name?"

"Koga."

"Okay, Koga! Let's try on some outfits." Kagome chimed. She breezed through the store picking up attire she thought would suit Koga.

"Try these on." She said as she shoved him into the dressing room.

He came out with each outfit on and Kagome couldn't decide which was best. He looked good in a simple blazer with jeans, and silk button down shirts.

"You look great in just about everything!" She told him.

"Thanks. I bet you do too." He said with a smirk.

Kagome laughed as she picked up the first outfit he tried on. "I think you should buy this one."

"Why don't I just buy them all? I'm always out and about, and I like to look good at all times."

"Great! Come with me. I'll ring up your stuff."

She brought his stuff to the register and paused. "Are you sure you want to buy everything?"

He nodded. "You have great taste."

"That'll be $7,250. How will you be paying?"

"Cash."

'Cash? What is he, a bank robber?'

Kagome looked over at Sango, who looked away as she sipped her bubble tea.

He went to the door and motioned for a man with a mohawk to enter the store. He opened a small bag and handed Kagome $10,000.

Kagome bagged up his purchases in awe and handed him the shopping bags.

"Wait!" She called out as he began leaving the store. "Your change."

"Keep the change, sweetheart…and keep up the good work." He winked as he smoothly exited the store with his companion at his side.

Kagome watched as he left and crossed the street. She couldn't stop staring at him. He was…interesting.

"Flirting with the customers, huh?" Sango said, surprising her.

Kagome jumped. "Don't startle me like that!"

"Ha! You were definitely checking that guy out!"

"Shut up!" She said with a laugh.

Later that night

"Hello?"

"Hey, Inuyasha are you gonna come pick me up in an hour?"

"Yeah. I'll see you soon."

Inuyasha sighed and dropped his phone on the bed.

"Look I gotta pick up my girlfriend so we're gonna have to make this quick."

"Aww that's no fun." The girl said as she kissed his neck. "I'll go down on you but you owe me."

"Yeah, yeah get to it."

Kagome stood outside her job waiting for Inuyasha to show up. He was already late.

"Sup, Fashonista."

Kagome turned to see Koga at the corner with two other guys.

"What are you doing over here?" She asked. "Are you stalking me?" She jested.

"Yeah."

Kagome raised an eyebrow at him as he laughed.

"I'm just playin' with ya. It's kind of my job to watch this block. I do a lot of business here."

"What kind of business?" She asked curiously.

"Ah. Import, export. Human resources."

"Are you a drug pusher?" She asked bluntly.

"What do you know about drugs?" He asked in a concerned voice.

"Not much." She said as she looked at her Apple watch.

"Waiting for someone?"

"Yeah. My boyfriend is over 15 minutes late. I spoke to him an hour ago!"

"Maybe something happened."

"He does this every time. He lives five minutes from here!"

"What an idiot."

Kagome picked up her phone and called him.

"Where are you?!"

"I'm coming, shut up! You always fucking yell!"

"I wouldn't yell if you would just keep your word for on—...He hung up on me! That jerk!"

"A man shouldn't yell at his woman. Or tell her shut up." Koga remarked.

"You heard all that?" She asked sheepishly.

He nodded. "It's a shame. You can do better."

Kagome looked down and sighed. 'How many times have I heard that?'

"Is that him? Driving the beat up car over there?" Koga asked as Inuyasha's car approached.

"Yeah. I'll see you later." She said with a smile as she got in.

Inuyasha gave Kagome a kiss and glared at the guy standing in front of her job.

Koga glared back, seemingly unthreatened by Inuyasha's leering.

"Who the hell is that?" He asked her as they drove away.

"A customer. He waited with me."

"Uh huh."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothin'. You miss me?"

"Yes. Very much."

They stopped at a red light and he reached in the backseat.

"I got you a present. That's why I was late." He told her as he handed her a red gift bag.

Kagome smiled widely as she eagerly reached her hand inside and took out a jewelry box. Inside was a diamond bracelet. "It's so pretty!" She exclaimed. "I love you!" She said as she kissed his cheek.

"I love you too."

"Can we go somewhere before you take me home?"

"Like?"

"I don't know. I am kinda hungry."

"I'll see what I can find."

They stopped in a fast food restaurant and got something to eat. They sat in a booth by the window and Kagome put on her bracelet.

"Its so pretty. I can't wait to show Sango."

"Glad you like it." He responded, face glued to his phone.

"Of course ! You know me so well."

"That guy you were with earlier," He began as he placed his phone face down. "He's really just a customer?"

"Uh huh. He came to the store today and spent a lot of money. Business has been slow all week so it was a big help."

"Oh."

"Am I going to see you this weekend? I really want to go out and do something."

"I can't. I'm going to this lodge with Miroku and some other people."

"W-why wasn't I invited?" She asked in a dejected tone.

"It's a guys only thing. Sorry babe. I'll take you out next week."

"Promise?"

He nodded. "You have my word."

Kagome felt her phone vibrate.

"Hello?"

"Hi Kagome, it's me. I apologize for calling so late."

"Hi Ms. Ono. It's alright. Did something happen at the store?"

"No, no. I just wanted to remind you that fashion week is coming up."

"Oh, yes. I'm so excited."

"We're open until 1AM tomorrow. I'm expecting a lot of customers. Can you do that?"

"Definitely! I'll be there. I can't wait to see what kind of influencers enter our store!"

"Thank you."

Kagome hung up her phone and smiled.

"What?"

"TFP is open late tomorrow. You'll come get me right?"

"Yeah I guess."

"Great!"

The following night, 11PM

Koga and the guys were driving past TFP.

"Isn't that the fashion designer girl?"

Koga turned to see Kagome hanging something in the window. "What's she doing at work so late?" He wondered as he parked nearby.

Koga got out and headed inside the store.

"Hi, Koga. Are you here to buy something for another party?" Kagome asked.

"Nah, I was admiring the cute girl in the window." He said as he smiled at her.

Kagome giggled. "I wish I could stay and chat but look how crowded it is! Fashion week is coming up."

"Oh that's what it is. I just wanted to check on ya."

"Thank you. I'll see you later!" She said as she rushed back to the register.

Closing time

"Come on. Pick up!"

"What's the matter?" Sango asked her.

"Inuyasha isn't answering! I can't believe this. He promised!"

"I'm sorry. I can't even take the bus with you since we live in opposite directions. You wanna just stay at my house?"

"I wish, but I promised I would take grandpa to the doctor early in the morning.. I'll take the bus. I should be fine. I'll call you when I get home." She said as she headed out.

Kagome sped through the dead streets to the bus stop.

"Where are you rushing off to?"

She turned to see Koga at the corner standing by a very luxurious car.

"I have to take the bus. My boyfriend Uh...forgot about me."

Koga shook his head, then looked over at the guys, who also wore looks of disapproval. "That's fucked up. It's pretty dangerous at this hour. Why don't I give you a ride?"

She looked over at his two friends. "Uh. I dunno...I don't want to bother you and you're with your friends and—"

"What? Them? They have work to do. It'll be just us." He said as he handed them a package. "If Tenchi comes by, you know what to do. Also…" He pointed across the street. "Make sure her cute friend makes it on the bus safely. They come once an hour."

Koga held the door open for Kagome. She slowly got in and he got in behind her. She gave him her address and he drove off.

He glanced over at her and noticed the sad look on her face. "If he makes you feel that bad then break up with him."

Kagome ran her hand across the bracelet on her wrist. 'But I love him so much.'

"You know what they call an asshole that has a patient, loving and forgiving woman?"

"What?" Kagome asked as she looked up.

"Lucky."

"I appreciate you saying that."

"Look I don't know much about relationships…hell, I don't know anything. I've never been in a relationship in my life."

"You?" Kagome said in a surprised tone as she chuckled. "Why not?"

He shrugged. "Well, I was forced to grow up way too fast. You see the guys I'm always with? Ginta and Hakkaku?"

"Mhm."

"They're my cousins. I've been taking care of them since I was 12. I'm damn near 30 now. My parents died around the time we took them in. So…I hustled. Took over the family business, under my grandfather's wing of course, and I stayed away from relationships. I don't trust anybody. Especially a woman."

"Well…you trust me, it seems. You're talking to me."

Koga approached a red light and turned to Kagome. "Maybe a bit. You seem like a nice girl, and you're easy to talk to, but you don't feel the same way about me, right? Because of the drug thing?"

Kagome looked down at her phone and shook her head. "You seem like a nice guy, and so do your friends." Kagome giggled. "Sango said Ginta and Hakkaku stayed with her until the bus came, and that they're really funny. Ginta took down her number to make sure she made it home safely."

"Sure…to make sure she made it home safe. He's probably sweet on her. That Ginta wears his heart on his sleeve. He's always getting it broken too. Hakkaku, on the other hand is married now, had a few kids. He's barely out with us."

"Do you ever consider settling down?"

"See the aggravation your guy puts you through? I'd rather spare myself the headaches."

He pulled up at her house and opened the car door for her.

"Let me walk you to your door."

"You don't have to." She said with a smile.

"Yes I do. What kind of man would I be if I didn't make sure you got inside your house safely?"

He followed her up the steps to her house. The two engaged in lighthearted small talk as they approached her door.

"Kagome?"

Kagome turned to see her mother outside. "Hey, mom...what are you doing?"

"I was waiting for you. Normally, you come alone at this hour but I didn't expect you to have company." She turned to Koga and smiled. "Hello."

"Hi. My name is Koga. I'm a friend of Kagome's. I just wanted to see that she got home safely."

"Thank you for looking after my daughter."

"Of course. She's a lovely young woman."

Kagome began to head inside with her mother. "Thank you. I really appreciate you taking me home."

"It wasn't any trouble. Have a goodnight you two."

"W-wait! Give me your number."

He raised an eyebrow. "You want my number?"

"Yeah. You said we're friends, right?"

He nodded and smiled as he took the phone from her and entered his number.

"Don't be a stranger, now. Text me whenever." He said as he coolly walked off.

Kagome and her mother got inside the house and Kagome kicked off her shoes and dropped her bag by the door. "Whew what a day."

"So is that Koga a guy you're interested in?" Her mom asked.

"No, no! I'm still with Inuyasha."

"Oh." She said disappointedly. "Well Koga seems nice."

"Yeah. He certainly is."
