Standing in front of the door was a growling half-demon with pink-tinted eyes.

An hour earlier…

Inuyasha was able to get all his Chicago business taken care of. He wasn't able to end the feud with Naraku's gang but he didn't think it would end in one day. Something was keeping Naraku's fire going he just had to figure out what Naraku had that kept him coming back. When he got back to New York all Inuyasha could think about was getting back to Kagome. He missed her and couldn't wait to see her.

When he got to her loft he tried the doorknob only to find that it was locked. Thinking Kagome had just made it an early night he got out the key she had given him a while back and unlocked the door. He walked around the place and noticed Kagome was not home. He couldn't figure out where she was. It was about 9pm and he couldn't think of what she would be doing out. She wasn't with Sango because she had been in Chicago with himself and Miroku. Kagome didn't have a lot of other friends that she actually went out with. Getting a little suspicious and angry that Kagome wasn't there he decided to sit and wait.

Now…

Inuyasha heard Kagome walk in and saw her get scared but the only thing resonating in his mind was the fact that she smelled like another male. Growling he slammed the door shut. His demon side was starting to come up not at all happy that some other demon's scent was all over her as if she had rolled around with him. With that thought his demon partially broke free pushing words into the human sides mind such as 'mate mine' and 'mate touched another male' Inuyasha was fighting to control his beast but just the thought of Kagome with another male made him not even care if it was his beast that was going to do the talking and punishing.

"Where the fuck have you been?" Inuyasha growled lowly.

"Oh my god Inuyasha. You scared the living daylights out of me." said Kagome relieved. She was so glad to know it was Inuyasha who was in her house and not a burglar or worse, a rapist. "I thought you weren't going to be back until Wednesday?"

Inuyasha was now slowly walking towards Kagome. Circling her as if she was his prey he asks again a little more forcefully "Where the fuck were you tonight? I have been here for over an hour and you smell like a fucking male!"

Kagome finally actually looked at him and noticed his eyes were tinted pink. That was not a good sign. "I was out to dinner with my new boss. Not that it matters who I go out with."

"The fuck it doesn't matter! You were out with another guy while I was gone! Is this what you do every time I leave? Do you have a side boyfriend I don't know about? You smell like you were rolling around with this guy. Your mine damnit Mine!" with every word Inuyasha's voice was getting louder and louder until he was yelling his head off.

"I can't believe you actually think I would cheat on you! You are such an asshole!" Kagome was hurt and angry and mixed with Inuyasha's anger that was not a good thing. This was going to get real ugly real soon.

"I don't know. You could. I wasn't supposed to be back for a couple more days you could be fucking some other guy behind my back for all I know."

A loud slap sounded throughout the room. Inuyasha stood there with a hand to his reddening cheek. Shocked that Kagome would actually hit him he just stood there like an idiot while Kagome ran from the room with tears dripping down her face.

Kagome ran to her bedroom and pulled out an overnight bag. She had already put most of her things for the night in it when Inuyasha shook himself out of his daze an stormed into the bedroom.

"Where the hell do you think you are going?" yelled a fuming Inuyasha.

"Where do you think I'm going? My other boyfriends house of course." a angry and hurt Kagome yelled right back in his face.

"You sure as hell better not be going anywhere. Especially near another man, half-demon, or demon. I'll rip his head off and throw you in my room, lock the door, and throw away the key."

Inuyasha was fuming. He also knew Kagome hadn't ever slept with anyone but him. She never smelt like it and he knew she would never cheat on him. She loved him and he knew it. It was just the scent of another male on her that sent him over the edge. He didn't like to even think about another guy even shaking her hand. She was his and only his. No one else was even good enough to be with her let alone touch her. Hell who was he kidding he wasn't even good enough to be the one who she was going to spend the rest of her life with. He hated that he made Kagome cry.

"You don't own me. I can be near whoever the hell I want whether it be a man or a woman. You can't dictate my life. I will see you tomorrow if you calm down by then and if not then I will see you when you calm down." And with that Kagome brushed past Inuyasha and walked out of the loft slamming the door shut behind her.

Kagome got into her car and drove off. The only place she could think to go was to Sango's but unfortunately she lived at Inuyasha's mansion with a few other people who worked for him. When she got to the house she just ran inside.

"Sango!" shouted Kagome, running around searching every room she came across.

"Kagome what is it? What's wrong?" asked a worried Sango.

"Inuyasha. He…he…" and with that Kagome burst out crying.

After Sango finally got Kagome calmed down enough to move, she brought her up to one of the guest rooms knowing that Kagome didn't want to be near anything that made her think of Inuyasha. She was able to understand the few words she could get out of Kagome and she was not happy with Inuyasha but she kind of understood his intense reaction. Inuyasha was just scared of losing Kagome. Especially if she found out that he was in a gang. Sango knew Kagome wouldn't leave him just for that it was the killing that he has done and the fact that he hasn't told her yet that could cause her to leave.

As soon as Sango walked down stairs the front door slammed open with a very upset Inuyasha. He knew that Kagome would come here because the only place she would run to would be to Sango. He looked up the stairs and saw a very pissed off Sango coming down.

"Don't talk." Sango said while holding up a hand to keep Inuyasha from explaining himself. "I know what happened and I know why you freaked out, but that wasn't the right thing to do. You need to go to your own bed tonight and talk to her tomorrow. And I mean tell her everything tomorrow."

Inuyasha looked at her with serious golden-eyes and nodded, understanding that she knew what the right thing to do in this situation. He said good night and started up the stairs.

"I'm serious Inuyasha. Everything. She has a right to know and it needs to be done now."

Inuyasha made it up the stairs and walked past Kagome's door for the night and inhaled deeply taking in her peaceful scent. When he got to his room he stripped himself of his clothes and crawled into bed and under the covers thinking of how he was going to tell Kagome about his lifestyle. He then fell into a dreamful sleep full of an angry and hurt Kagome.
