Hey! I've finally updated! Sorry it's taken me so long. I was having some serious issue writing this chapter.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'm too lazy to write out your names and replies.

Disclaimer: I don't make money from this. I don't own Inuyasha, blah blah blahh…

Chapter 4:

Inuyasha was stunned. Did the wench just say 'sit' and he suddenly slammed into the floor? He couldn't move for a moment or two for several reasons. One, being that he was too shocked, and two he just physically couldn't.

"What…just happened?" Kagome was also stunned. She had no idea how that happened.

"That is the result of the beads Inuyasha is wearing around his neck." Kikyo explained.

"I think I'll just go get ready…" Kagome timidly stepped around Inuyasha's body and quickly made it towards her room and locked the door.

Kikyo walked away and went back reading a magazine. A few minutes later Inuyasha finally awoke from his stupor looking like one pissed off puppy. He stormed over to Kikyo, put his face an inch away from hers and scowled at her. For a split second, Kikyo was actually worried he was going to harm her, but then he walked away towards the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

Kikyo released air she didn't realize she was holding, and decided to be late for work today. She wanted to be present when World War III was to erupt. She needed to be nearby.

Kagome was the first one the come out of her room in black yoga pants, black sneakers and a camisole. She also had a light jacket in her hand since it was a bit chilly outside.

"Kagome, you're allowed to wear that to work?" Kikyo asked her, as Kagome sat down at the counter.

"No, I have a shirt in my purse, because I have classes before work today." She picked up an apple out of the bowl on the counter, and bit into it.

"Oh."

There was awkward silence for a few moments. Neither of the girls had anything to say.

Kagome's cell phone vibrated in her purse, which startled her a bit. It was a text message from Sango

Kags, I need you down here at the shop ASAP.

-Sango

"Alright looks like I'm needed! I'll see you later Kiks!" Kagome grabbed her jacket and hurried to the elevator.

Kikyo sighed. She was relieved that she would not have to endure Kagome and Inuyasha screaming at each other.

Seconds after Kagome had left, Inuyasha burst through the door. He frantically looked around. Kikyo assumed he was looking for Kagome.

"Where's the wench?"

I was correct.

"She already left. Why?"

Inuyasha's eyes shifted to were Kikyo was standing in the kitchen.

"No reason."

Kikyo gave him a bored look.

"Alright well I guess I'm off to work too. See you later." She walked over to Inuyasha and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"I'll be leaving with you also."

They both made their made towards the elevator to go off to work.

MEANWHILE

Kagome rushed towards the shop. While she made her way to work, various scenarios played in her mind of what could have happened.

What if someone's robbing the store? What if the machine broke! That would come out of our paychecks…what if Sango found a baby in the trash outside? No. I'm getting ridiculous. I hope nothings wrong…

She crossed the street and jogged towards the door of the coffee shop. She threw it open and looked around for something that was horribly wrong.

Except nothing was wrong. At least, nothing appeared to be wrong.

We walked towards the employee's room to look for Sango.

"Kagome! Oh my goodness! I have something to tell you!"

Kagome hunched over and grabbed her knees trying to catch her breath. She looked up at Sango.

"Miroku asked me to move in with him!"

Kagome wanted to fall over anime-style.

"Is that…what I had to be down here for…ASAP?"

Sango's smile faltered when she saw the deadly glint in Kagome's eyes.

"Umm…"

"SANGO! YOU COULDN"T JUST TELL ME ON THE PHONE!"

"But…I wanted to tell you in person."

"Sango! I have classes to get to! I'd love to stay and chat but I'm going to be late at this rate! I'll talk to you later! Bye"

Kagome dashed out of the shop and into the busy streets of Manhattan.

"I can't believe Sango would pull something like that. I guess she's just excited…"

Kagome murmured to herself.

She walked down the stairs and went through the turnstile to board the subway. She caught the train just in time. Unfortunately, all of the seats were taken and she had to hold onto the pole.

What happened this morning with that jerk? He just slammed into the ground when I said sit. Does that only work when I'm angry? Or would he just plunge into the ground every time I say sit? I need to test that theory.

Kagome tuned back into the world to see what stop she was at. Someone had got off and left a seat vacant, so she quickly moved to sit there.

It's going to be so weird living with Kikyo and her idiot boyfriend. I should have her meet Sango and Miroku soon. Not this week because Sango's moving in with Miroku. Those two are so cute.

Kagome was soon at her stop and left the subway. She walked through the turnstiles and up the stairs, back into the bustling street of the city. Kagome loved the city. It was one of her favorite places to be, when she wasn't rushing of course. She lived in South Carolina when she was younger and always dreamed of living in the city in a nice penthouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Her dreams slowly diminished when her family fell into bankruptcy by the time she was 15.

"Ah I'm finally here." Kagome said to herself.

Back at the Coffee shop

Sango was cleaning tables when a woman walked into the shop. She appeared to be looking for someone.

"Do you need assistance with something miss?" Sango asked politely

Sango softly gasped when the woman turned to face her. She was a bit taller than Sango which was bizarre on account of Sango's unusual height.

"Yes, I'm looking for my friend who works here, Kagome?"

By now Sango was gazing at the woman. She looked almost exactly like Kagome.

"Um she hasn't come in yet. She should um b-be here soon."

Oh my god. I probably sounded like an idiot! Sango wanted to just crawl into a ball and die.

Kikyo quietly giggled. "You're probably thinking that I look like her right? We were always mistaken for each other in high school. I'm Kikyo."

"Oh! Kagome mentioned something about you! I'm Sango, nice to meet you." She held out her hand. Kikyo smiled and shook it.

"Could you please pass on this message: Tell her to meet me for lunch at Houston's. I will not be able to call her so if she cannot attend, tell her it is alright and that she does not have to contact me and tell me."

Sango shook her end indicating she will pass on the message.

"Thank you so much."

"No Problem. Have a good day!"

Kikyo waved to Sango while she walked out of the shop. She went back to cleaning tables.

20 minutes later, Kagome burst through the doors and dashed to the employee's area to change. She came out 2 minutes later and walked over to Sango by the counter.

"I'm here! Sorry I'm later I got held up at school. Anything happen? Wait, NOTHING happens here." Sango and Kagome laughed at their silly joke.

"Actually, Kikyo came by. She said to meet her for lunch at Houston's. You cannot reach her right know so if you aren't able to go it's alright." Sango said.

"Oh, alright. So tell me more about you and Miroku. Are you guys screwing each other every night?"

Sango blushed a deep pink which confirmed Kagome accusation.

"Kagome!"

She laughed at her best friend still being shy about this. "It's okay Sango. You don't have to tell me the detaillss."

This darkened Sango's blush. She was recapping her events with her boyfriend in her head.

"Ohh so you guys did something kinky? I didn't know you were like that Sango." Kagome teased. She was really enjoying her friend squirm

"PLEASE! Stop!"

Kagome laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay. I apologize."

Sango walked into the bathroom to fix herself up. She came out a few seconds later and walked back over to where Kagome was standing.

"So, how's life living with the ass?" Sango asked. Kagome had told her she was moving in with Sango.

"Oh my god. Kikyo and I went shopping like a few days ago or something, and she bought these "Beads of Subjugation" and it works when I say a command form."

"Okay…are you going to get to the point?" Sango said to her friend who seemed to be in a bit of a daze.

"Oh, sorry. Anyway, so this morning I was in the bathroom and only my bra and underwear…"

"Oh no…don't tell me…" Sango started slowly shaking her head back and forth, with her eyes wide in shock.

"Yep. The jerk walked in on me. My first instinct for some odd reason was to say "sit" and he just slammed into the ground, face first without warning!" She exclaimed

"Whaaaaaaaaat!"

"Yea. I know. Crazy. This is PERFECT now. I know I shouldn't abuse it, but I'll probably be saying sit…."

BOOM.

"What the hell was that?" Sango shouted.

They both turned their heads to see Inuyasha on the ground.

"What the…"

"Yeah. That's what happens! Wait a minute. What are you doing here Inuyasha?" Kagome inquired

Inuyasha remained in the same position for a few more seconds. In another split second, he was in Kagome's face.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM WENCH?"

"I'M SORRY! HOW THE HECK WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE COMING THROUGH THE DOOR THAT VERY MOMENT!"

"Keh." Inuyasha folded his arms and placed his head in an upward position to the side with his eyes closed, and mouth rooted upwards

"You either tell me what the heck you're going here or get out."

"I don't have to do shit."

"Inuyasha…I'll say the "s" word if you don't pick an option."

Inuyasha slightly opened his eye to look at her expression and suddenly became afraid. He turned his head towards her and walked out.

"Okay…That was weird." Sango chimed in.

"Whatever. I'll be seeing him for lunch in….actually it's time for lunch. Do you think he came to escort me?" Kagome asked.

"More like to forcefully drag you there." Sango joked.

"Hah. It's something I could see him doing too. Anyway I'll be back in an hour, tops!"

Kagome went to the back room, grabbed her coat and purse and ran out the door. She walked down the street and turned the corner and unexpectedly landed on the floor.

"Ow…" She said rubbing her bottom. "I'm so sorry…Inuyasha!?"

She looked up to see that he hadn't even budged from his spot. What he really that strong?

"Wench, come on. Kikyo told me to come and get you because she said you probably don't even know where Houston's is."

"Come to think of it….I don't. I assumed it was someone close to Kikyo's office building so I was just going to do there."

"It is. Now let's go. Our reservations might get taken." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's upper arm and dragged down the block.

"What….are…you…doing?" Kagome said trying to struggle out of grip.

Why is he so damn strong!

"Trying to make you go faster! Would you stop that damn it!" Inuyasha's grip tightened on Kagome

"Ow! What the hell! That hurts!"

Inuyasha immediately loosened his grip.

"I'm going to get a bruise there you jerk! Look what you've made me done! I've sworn! Ever since I've been living with you, I've had more of a potty mouth than ever!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Oh shut up your stupid bitch. You said hell. You're not going die."

"Don't call me that!" Kagome screamed

Inuyasha smirked.

"Call you what?"

"That degrading term you just used like 20 seconds ago!"

"Say it."

"No! I don't have to! You know what I'm talking about"

Inuyasha left her alone on account of he was preoccupied with his own thoughts.

What was Kikyo thinking, inviting this bitch to lunch.

"Can you let go of me now!"

Inuyasha completely let go of her arm. "We're here."

Finally. Kagome said to herself.

They walked into the restaurant. It had a Barnes and Nobles above it. It had a nice feel to it.

"Hakama for three please." Inuyasha said.

"Right this way sir." She guided them to their seats. It had cushioned benches instead of regular chairs.

As soon as they sat down Inuyasha's cell phone vibrated in his pocket. It was a text message from Kikyo

Sorry babe, I have a lot of work to do and I cannot afford to be behind. I'll make it up to you I promise. You and Kagome get along now! And don't you even think about leaving. I already told them to put it on my tab. I'll be extremely upset if you or Kagome do Inuyasha.

-Kikyo

Inuyasha placed his phone on the table along with his elbows. He ran his fingers through his hair.

Kagome furrowed his eyebrows at his reaction. "What's wrong?"

"Kikyo's not coming."

Kagome was silent for a moment. She had to be alone with this prick for an hour?

"I'm sorry but I won't be able to stay." She began to gather her things and stand up. She was about to leave when Inuyasha stood up and caught her wrist.

Kagome felt a tingly feeling when he touched her and it scared her. She whirled around and slapped his hand.

"Get your hands off me!"

"Kagome! You can't go! Kikyo already arranged this whole thing and she said she'll be upset if we leave."

"Ugh! I hate it went she pulls stuff like this!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Tell me about it."

They both returned to there seats. There was and awkward silence among them.

"So…how has your day been so far?" Kagome asked

"Keh. It's none of your business." Inuyasha sneered

"Here we go again." Kagome mumbled to herself, but Inuyasha's keen hearing picked it up anyway.

"What do you mean by 'here we go again'" Inuyasha said, mocking Kagome's voice.

"You did this before! I'm just trying to start conversation and you have to go and be a jerk!"

She has a point. Inuyasha said to himself. He huffed and folded his arms.

"Well, my day has been pretty crappy so far."

"Why?"

"I got a call from my half- brother saying that he'll be arriving in less than 8 hours. Then my secretary quit her job and now I have to have lunch with you."

Kagome rolled her eyes at his last complaint. "It isn't a walk in the park for me either ya know."

"Well if you weren't such a bitch, maybe we could get along."

Kagome's eyes twitched. She wanted to beat this jerk down so bad, but she was in a restaurant so she had to keep her anger under control. She was practically growling.

"Well maybe if you weren't such a jerk all the time we would be able to get along. This is not my fault at all."

"Is that a joke? You slapped be and "sat" me!" Inuyasha exclaimed, his voice raising.

Kagome couldn't control her anger. She was about to explode if she didn't walk of there.

Unfortunately…she didn't walk out and chose to explode on Inuyasha…in the middle of a restaurant.

"You were being an insufferable pig!"

"Excuse me? I asked you to pass the salad and you ignored me!" Inuyasha was now shouting

Kagome bolted up and slammed her hands down on the table.

"YOU WOULDN'T SAY MY NAME! YOU ONLY CHOSE TO CALL ME DEREGATORY THINGS! I WASN'T ABOUT TO RESPOND TO THEM!"

A waiter came over to calm them down.

"Excuse me miss but…"

"AND YOU WALKED IN ON ME IN THE BATHROOM THIS MORNING. TALK ABOUT LACK OF PRIVACY."

"THAT WAS AND ACCIDENT! I WAS HALF ASLEEP!"

"Excuse me but…" The waiter attempt to say again but was totally ignored.

"THAT'S IT! I'M LEAVING!" Kagome walked out of the booth completely ignoring the waiter and stormed out of the door

Inuyasha stood up too. He acknowledged the waiter's presence by giving him a curt nod and headed out the door.

With Kikyo

"I have so much work to do!" Kikyo said to herself.

Her desk looked like a tornado hit. There were papers everywhere. She had a stack of new folders on the floor where she was sitting trying to organize everything.

"I really need to get a secretary."

There was a knock on the door and Kikyo quickly pushed everything underneath her desk, brushed herself off, and sat down.

"Enter."

The person opened the door. "Hey babe."

Kikyo tensed. "What do you want?"

"Last week you were more welcoming." He said.

"Last week I was wasted and you took advantage of me!" Kikyo exclaimed. She had a small refrigerator with some wine and champagne in there for when people came over. Her office was spacious with a desk, refrigerator, two chairs, and a small table.

"I didn't tell you to drink that much wine with me. "

"Suikotsu, I really don't have time for you right now." I had to take 15 showers after than so Inuyasha wouldn't smell him on me. I took several more when I got home.

He walked over to her and put his face inches from hers. She was as stiff as a board now, prepared for anything he was about to do.

"Fine. Call me whenever you're bored."

He briskly walked out of the door.

xxxxxx

Kagome walked into the shop to see the last person she wanted to see at this moment.

"Hello Kagome. You look stunning today."

Kagome rolled her eyes inside. She put on a fake smile.

"Hi Kouga. I'm extremely busy right know and I really can't talk. I have to go."

She bolted to the back room, collected her possessions, and left out the back door.

"Thank good I got out of that one fast." She said to herself.

It took her about 6 minutes to walk back to the penthouse. She was exhausted. All she wanted to do was take a bath, eat, and go to sleep. She arrived at their floor.

It amazed her everything she stepped into the place. Kikyo must have hired an interior designer, because the place was furnished beautifully.

Kagome walked straight to her room and closed the door. She turned on the water to run a bath.

"I wonder if Sango will mind that I left early. I hope she'll cover for me. I have soo much to do. I have school work, and I have to find someone to take over my old apartment. Thank god it's almost Friday." Kagome clipped up her hair and stripped of her clothing.

She stepped into the bath.

"Ahh. That feels good." Kagome soon dozed off into a peaceful nap.

30 minutes later Kagome got out of the tub and dried herself off.

"What shall I wear…" She looked through her armoire for something to wear. She picked out a pair of yellow Capri sweatpants, and a white tank top. She walked over to her dresser and took out underwear and a white bra.

Kagome then dried herself off and dressed.

"I'm so hungry!"

She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge looking for a small snack to eat. She didn't feel like cooking.

"Ohh. Yogurt." She took one out, grabbed a spoon, walked over to the couch and sat down.

"I'm so tired. That short nap was nice though.

Suddenly, she heard the elevator opening.

"Who could that be? I hope it's not him."

She walked over to the elevator and standing there was a man who look exactly like Inuyasha, except older. His hair was the same color, but it was longer.

He looked down at Kagome as if she were scum. She didn't like it.

"Hello. Who are you?"

He walked right past her towards to kitchen and took a water bottle out of the fridge.

"Hey! Don't ignore me! I'm speaking to you! Who are you?!"

The unidentified man finally looked at Kagome.

"Pathetic human girl, do not speak to me and such manner."

"What did you just call me?" Kagome's right eye was beginning to twitch violently.

"Where is my lowly half-breed of a brother?"

Is he talking about Inuyasha? Kagome looked at him questioningly.

"Yes I am speaking of Inuyasha you foolish girl. I am Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's older brother."
