Disclaimer: No I don't own Inuyasha!!!
I have writters block so bad right now. Typing is like dragging each word out of my brain and nothing I do can help it so if this chapter sucks and is not up to my usual standards I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me.:(

"Boyou, I'm home." Kagome announced walking into her apartment.
A fat beige cat lifted its head from the couch and looked at her and gave a long suffering meow.
"I know, I know." Kagome said. "But I got held up at work."
Another meow.
"I'm getting the food. Don't worry." Kagome said setting down her bag and heading to her kitchen.
Her apartment wasn't huge but neither was it tiny. The living room flowed into the kitchen/dining room and connected to the tiny hallway that held the door to the bathroom and her bedroom.
Boyou, with some difficulty, got up and followed Kagome into the kitchen with his fat belly wobbling as he walked.
"Here you go." Kagome said emptying a can of wet food into his bowl.
Unlike Kagome, her apartment was full of light and color. Pretty vases with blooming flowers littered the tables along with knick-knacks and dust collectors she had acquired over the years. Her windows had lace curtains and the blinds were normally up allowing sunlight to wash the room in light.
Kagome started humming as she put together some food for her own dinner. Tomorrow was her favorite day, Saturday, her day off. She planned to spend it shopping and maybe catching a movie.
Her cell rang from inside her pants pocket,
"Hello?" she said without looking at the caller ID.
"Kagome, sweetie, how are you?" Kanji's voice came happily from the other end of the phone. Without waiting for her to respond, he continued, "Look, Kira's lazy ass still hasn't been found. We need you to work tomorrow as Inuyasha's assistant. That won't be too much trouble right?"
Kagome sighed and kissed her free day good-bye. "No, sir. I'll be in at the normal time."
"Great! See you there."
Kagome sighed again.
"Kags, baby, thanks for working again today." Kanji said smiling at her.
Inuyasha was on set with his 'best friend' of the TV series practicing lines and being told where to stand while the director complained about everything.
"No problem." Kagome said shyly.
"I told Inuyasha you would be here today, so don't worry about that. Now he knows this isn't your normal job so he's going to tell you how he wants things done, okay?"
"Alright." Kagome said meekly walking over to the 'best friend's assistant.
"Hey." she said smiling.
"Nice to meet you." Kagome said her fears evaporating on the spot.
"New girl?" she asked.
Kagome shook her head. "I'm filling in for his regular right now."
"Oooh, cool. Name's Sango." she held out her hand.
"Yeah, I know. I'm Kagome." Sango gave her a funny look. "I'm the assistant producer, I have to know everyone."
"Oh, okay." Sango smiled again. "You know what you're doing?"
"Sadly, yes." Kagome said. "I think I've been Inuyasha's assistant longer than Kira has."
"Oh, yeah, Kira." Sango nodded. "I remember her. Always on her phone and she has the worst nose job."
"It's so bad, right? I thought I was the only one to notice." Kagome giggled.
"No, man it's terrible. Was her surgeon drunk or something?" Sango said making Kagome giggle. "Anyway, so do you normally fill in for her?"
"Yes." Kagome said.
"But you're the assistant producer?"
"I just can't say no." Kagome shook her head.
Sango laughed. "Well, don't worry. I say no way too often."
Kagome chuckled.
"Hey, Kenti." Inuyasha walked up to her.
Her head bowed by instinct. "Yes?" she said.
"The director needs some stuff from the basement and I was given the duty to get it. So come on. I'll need some help." he said looking like he was vastly offended at being asked to perform manual labor.
"Okay." Kagome said following him as he started through the hallway off the set.
"Sorry about the Kira thing, Kelly." Inuyasha said scratching his nose. "I can't get that girl to do anything. You're more reliable than her, Kinty, and it's not even your job."
Kagome mumbled something but Inuyasha didn't hear her.
"So anyway, since your my assistant for the time being, I need to instruct you in what I what, as Kanji said. That cool with you, Kagemi?"
She mumbled slighter louder her cheeks tinted red.
"Great." he said taking it for consent. "So here's the thing, we start taping for the next episode later and those lights are awful, so I'll need water every time we cut, got that, Kiane?"
"....me." she mumbled slightly louder.
"Lunch is from the cafeteria, they know what I want, but I think I had you do that yesterday. I did didn't I, Kohame? You need to stay with me even in make-up, alright? Did you hear me, Kijeni?"
"It's Kagome!" Kagome cried throwing up her hands.
They stopped and Inuyasha raised his eyebrows.
Kagome blushed and slapped her hand to her mouth as she realized what she had said and her fears intensified.
Oh, goodness, was he mad? Would he get her fired? Was he always so damn big!?
Inuyasha looked her over as if he had never seen her before.
"Sorry, didn't mean to offend."
Shaking slighty, she lowered her head. "Sorry."
"No, my bad, I hate it when fans who've only read my name call me Inuy-a-sha." he rolled his eyes as the first a become long instead of short.
Kagome giggled reluctantly.
"Anyway..." he continued walking again his eyes holding a hint of respect, not much, but a little.
Kagome listened patiently to his list not telling him she knew all of this already. Pushing her luck like that once was enough.
They opened the basement door and started down the steps both of them making a similar groan of disgust.
"What is that smell?" Inuyasha asked holding his nose.
Kagome shrugged and covered her nose too.
"What are we looking for, anyway?"
Wanting to get out as quick as possible, Inuyasha said, "Some furniture from some old episodes. We're doing a flashback this episode."
"Yeah, Kikyo and Naraku and their first kiss." Kagome said pulling her shirt over her nose to search.
"You know?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah." She smiled though he couldn't see it, "Assistant producers privilege."
He smirked. "So can you tell me if the kid is mine?"
Kagome turned with a happy nope on her lips when she was struck dumb.
"What?" Inuyasha worried when her face went pale white.
She started breathing quickly and pointed over his shoulder because her voice had suddenly stopped working.
He turned muscles tensed for any danger and cried out at what he saw.
He turned and ran to Kagome and grabbed her hand.
"Come on." he pulled but fear had paralyzed her.
Her breathing was quick and shallow as she took in the horrible sight before them.
"Let's go!" he gave up and just lifted her off her feet and ran up the stairs.
"Help!" he called out throwing the door open. "Someone call 911!"
He set Kagome down and smoothed down her hair.
"It's okay. It's okay, the cops are coming." he murmured and tried to reassure her of her safety.
But no matter what he said he couldn't dull the image of Kira's torn and mangled body that was burned into her mind.
Wow, halfway through my writers block suddenly vanished and the words came out so easily! btw, my computer lacks internet again and I'm writing from my dads and I'm going home tomorrow and for all my American readers and whoever celibrates it, Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
