Author's Note: I am adding chapters like crazy, but I have eight more stories on the go. If you like this you should check out the soon-to-be story called 'Beneath the Surface'. I shouldn't be writing spoilers for my stories, but, I can't help it. I like it a lot. I also enjoy this chapter, so, enjoy!
Chapter 4: Walking a Fine Line
InuYasha scowled. That Kagome, was such a scam artist, taking credit for someone else's work. He let his scowl soften, something he would not do for any other reason. She was his scam artist.
As he pulled into her driveway, he saw her curtains flutter. Seconds later her door opened and Kagome stepped out. She ran up to the car and pulled the door open, getting in quickly. InuYasha smiled at her as she leaned and kissed him on the cheek.
"Hello, love, "he said, pulling out of the small driveway, "how are you?" Kagome's smile brightened the car. To be honest, it brightened his life. Her being with him all seemed like a dream. Fighting with her had been hell.
"I'm a little nervous," Kagome admitted playing with a lock of her hair, which was in a ponytail. "I don't want to admit to Miroku that I lied." InuYasha smiled and winked.
"Hey, cheer up. This is a favour for a friend. Don't worry about it!" Kagome smiled.
"Thank you InuYasha. I love you."

Sango felt horrible. She wanted to be successful and respected. She had slept with her well-built, attractive, yet slightly annoying boss. Her boss for cristsakes! She sat at her desk and put her head in her hands.
"God, I'm an idiot!" she cursed herself. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder.
"Sango, you are definitely not an idiot," Miroku chirped, yawning, "you are a qualified, beautiful, sexy woman." She felt his words and touch do the same thing they had done the night before, and she knew that she would never be able to resist, or refuse him. She looked up at him and saw a content smile on his face.
"Morning, sir." She noted his grimace.
"It's Miroku, Sango." He corrected. "And I expected you to greet me more warmly than you did. A hug, a kiss maybe." Sango frowned. "Ah, you want to know why I'm here right now." She nodded. "Well," he leaned closer, "I wanted to tell you that I hope that last night wasn't just a one time thing. I also wanted t ask you to dinner." Sango stared momentarily. That wasn't what she had expected. She smiled hesitantly, gauging the sincerity in his eyes. No hint of a lie.
"Alright, what time?" Miroku grinned.
"Right after work."

When Kagome and InuYasha walked into "Goshinboku" it was whisper quiet. There was none of the usual commotion, but that might have been because more than half of the staff were standing near the water-filter gossiping in low voices. There was a steady stream of whispers going on. Kagome felt an unsteady tension gush into her stomach. She walked up to one of the women and tapped her on he shoulder. The woman turned around, fixing her aqua eyes on Kagome's chocolate ones.
"Ah, Kagome. How are you today?" Kagome's eyebrows drew together in confusion.
"Ayumi, what is everyone whispering about?" The girls eyes all shifted from left to right. The girl name Ayumi's eyes dropped to the floor. She looked slightly uncomfortable.
"Apparently Miroku and his new secretary were caught doing the nasty in his office," a sullen looking girl answered. Ayumi turned her head slightly to fix the girl with a frosty stare.
"Kikyo! Shush!" Kagome just stared. Sango and Miroku. The thought was incomprehensible. How could she!? Especially after she, Kagome, had warned he about him. Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned around to meet the beautiful golden eyes of InuYasha.
"You okay?" A tinge of worry laced his words. Kagome took his hands and nodded. She just hoped Sango would be fine. She would need to have a talk with that girl as soon as possible.

Me: So how do you like it so far? Hope so. This is a fairly short and bland chapter. I like it a lot because it leads to the next chapter... Which is more interesting. Yeah.
The next chapter is called "Stake Out." Hope you enjoy.
