Well, I'll let ya read! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Inuyasha isn't mine . . . yet. Oo;;;

On the last chapter . . . (Oh so long ago!)

Inuyasha scoffed. "You're impossible!"

"Why do you hang out with me, then? Kagome asked innocently.

Inuyasha smiled at this, and took her hand in his.

"Because you entice me with your humor, the way you talk, the way you love everything, they way you laugh, the way you eat, the way you look at me with those eyes . . ."

Kagome looked away, blushing deeply.

"And they way you blush," Inuyasha exclaimed. "You drive me crazy, Kagome."

Inuyasha suddenly stopped walking. He took Kagome's arm and faced her towards him.

"I want you to know that you're very special to me. Even thought we just met, I feel like I've known you forvever."

"Inuyasha . . ." Kagome whispered, not wanting to spoil the moment.

They stayed there, facing each other, searching for something in each other's eyes.

Everyone who passed them would exclaim 'What a beautiful couple!' or 'Aren't they cute?'.

Neither of them were paying attention to the outside world, however. Kagome felt safe in Inuyasha's arms and Inuyasha felt this was the right thing. He would have given up anything in the world so he could keep Kagome safe in his arms forever.

Inuyasha captured Kagome's lips in a gentle embrace.

Murder, She Wrote: Chapter Six- First Close Call

"Inuyasha . . ." Kagome whispered, as she blushed a deep red. He laughed and wrapped his arm around her. "What do you say we get out of here?" he asked. Kagome nodded. "Let's go then." They walked towards the parking lot.

Setting: Shikon Beach, Tokyo, Japan: January 8, 2004: 4:16 P.M.

Sango giggled. "Miroku, that was a lot of fun!" He smiled back. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Sango."

As they walked along the shoreline, Miroku noticed two four-tracks that were coming their way. His gaze wondered back to Sango, who had just kneeled down to pick seashells, a good 8 feet from him. He heard the motors running and looked back at the four-tracks.

'That's weird . . . this is not even their trail' he thought, and even more suspicious, the drivers were wearing black overcoats, scarves, beanies and dark sunglasses. 'That's not right.' They accelerated and were heading right their way. Miroku noticed just in time.

"Sango! Get out of the way!" he shouted and Sango looked up, startled. She stood horrified as the four-tracks were getting closer and closer, about to hit her.

Setting: Rosewater Pearl-Apartment 284, Tokio, Japan: January 8, 2004: 5:00 P.M.

Kagome sighed as she watched the beautiful view. The sun was setting and it was just too romantic. She was so engrossed in the view, she almost jumped when she felt two strong arms wrap themselves around her petite figure. "Like what you see?" he asked and she nodded eagerly. He laughed. Inuyasha bent down and kissed Kagome again, catching her by surprise. They deepened the kiss, his hand now steadying her head when 'Moonlight Sonata' played. Kagome breathlessly pulled away. "One second." she whispered and walked back into the apartment to look for her cell phone.

"Kagome Higurashi speaking." she greeted and Inuyasha chuckled lightly. She gave him a death glare, but her face soon paled and he gave her a concerned look. "Where is she?" she asked hysterically. "Wait, let me write it down!" She said, looking for a pen or anything to write with. Inuyasha, jogged to the kitchen cabinet and pulled out a blue pen. She mouthed a 'thank you' and proceeded to write on her palm. "Uh-hu . . . yeah, 312? I got it. See you soon."

Tears soon began to fall, as she tried to hold them back. "Kagome, what's wrong?"

"Sango got hit by some crazy bastards riding four-tracks in the beach this afternoon!" Inuyasha looked very concerned to see his girlfriend- 'Whoa, where did that come from?' he thought, as he shook his head to clear the thought away. He grabbed his car keys to his black 2004 BMW 5301 and his cell phone. "Come on baby, I'll drive you there."

Setting: Midoriko General Hospital, Room 312, Tokio, Japan: January 8, 2004: 9:11 P.M.

Kagome rushed into the room, with Inuyasha behind her. "Honey, are you ok?" she asked and Sango smiled. "Kagome, I'm fine. Don't worry so much!"

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Kagome sighed in relief. "What happened?" Sango pointed at Miroku. "Ask my savior over there."

Flashback

As they walked along the shoreline, Miroku noticed two four-tracks that were coming their way. His gaze wondered back to Sango, who had just kneeled down to pick seashells, a good 20 feet from him. He heard the motors running and looked back at the four-tracks.

'That's weird . . . this is not even their trail' he thought, and even more suspicious, the drivers were wearing black overcoats, scarves, beanies and dark sunglasses. 'That's not right.' They accelerated and were heading right their way. Miroku noticed just in time.

"Sango! Get out of the way!" he shouted and Sango looked up, startled. She stood horrified as the four-tracks were getting closer and closer, about to hit her.

Miroku, with his former athlete skills, jumped to where she was and before the four-track could hit her, shoved her several feet forward, causing her to land in an odd angle. The driver made a 180 degree turned and came back for them but Miroku picked up a rather large branch that was deposited in the sand and signaled the driver he was going to hit him with it. The driver faltered and turned back, disappearing behind a dune.

End Flashback

"Thanks to Miroku, I'm alive. My arm's broken, but that was when he pushed me to get out of the way." Sango smiled. "I'd rather have my arm like this than to be dead. I'm not resting 'till we know who's after you Kagome." Kagome almost cried and ran to hug her dearest friend and cousin.

"I'm so glad you're safe! And that's all that matters!" Kagome cried as they hugged each other tight. Inuyasha smiled.

Not wanting to ruin the moment between relatives, he quietly motioned for Miroku to come outside.

"What's up?" Miroku asked. "Did you happen to see the drivers' faces?" Inuyasha questioned, and Miroku nodded. "I had my mini camera with me." Inuyasha gave him a questioning look. "You always have to be prepared when you have a case, no matter what you're doing. Specially a case as delicate as this one."

"We'll reveal them tomorrow at the lab. I got to drive Kagome home tonight, though." Inuyasha stated and went back in the room. After half an hour of chatting, a nurse came in the room. "Good evening. Visiting hours are almost done." Kagome stood up from her seat. "Thanks." she replied and the nurse left. "Well, Sango, would you like for me to stay here with you?

"Oh, no Kagome!" she said. "I'll be fine on my own. The doctors only want me to stay to monitor any other injuries, since I did have a nasty fall. I just have a few scrapes and the doctor doesn't want them to get infected, which could turn into a bad thing." Kagome nodded. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then!"

Setting: Rosewater Springs Lobby, Tokyo, Japan: January 9, 2004: 12:18 A.M.

"I am so ready to go to bed." Kagome sighed, as she waited for her elevator. "Mind if I join you?" Inuyasha asked and Kagome blushed and hit him playfully on the arm. "You may, as soon as you get me a ring." she said, and then giggled. "I'm just playing around."

"Oh? So you were just kidding about the ring thing right?" he said and she laughed. "Not quite, Detective." she said sensually and he smirked. "Yep, that's what brings them to me." Kagome smiled as the elevator arrived. "Well, I better go." she whispered and surprised him, when she stood on her toes and gave him a quick peck on the lips. He smirked again and let her pass.

"Au revoir!" she said, as the elevator doors closed. Inuyasha stood there for a few more seconds and walked back to his car. "Au revoir . . . Kagome Higurashi." he murmured quietly as he drove off into the night.

Well, that's it! Cute ending, ne? I promise I'll write some more soon!! Until then, Ja ne!
