Love in the alley
A/N: I had a lot going on, with my grandfather dying along with writer's block. Although my family does know that death is just a part of the cycle of life, so it's not that sad.

The figure stood in the shadows in the dark room; he had long hair tied back in a ponytail, but that was the only thing that could be made out.
"So, how much do you want?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I won't accept anything less than 9,000 American," the figure replied.
"Done," Sesshoumaru said. "But are you sure you can do the job without assistance?"
"I always get my job done," the figure said as it sped out of the room, "You can count on it!"

Meanwhile, back at Shippou's house, dinner was being served. The two elders weren't speaking to each other. The two kids (Shippou and Sota) were trying to choke each other. Kagome's mom and Shippou's mom was continuing the bitter rivalry of comparing their kid's accomplishments. And Kagome and Inuyasha were staring at each other once in a while. The only person who was actually whole-heartedly eating was Shippou's dad.
Inuyasha was burying his face in the bowl but actually not eating anything, most of the time he stared at Kagome. He just couldn't forget Kagome rubbing his ears. And secretly, he wanted Kagome to do it again.
Kagome was just picking some food up from their plates and putting them back again. She really wanted to know what Inuyasha thought about her. There has to be a way that she could get him to admit something!
Ten minuets later, Kagome walked out of the room with a devious smile on her face.

"So, lady Sango, what would you like to eat?" Miroku asked politely.
"I don't know," Sango said, Miroku had taken her to a 4-star restaurant and the place was really getting on her nerves. She would much rather go dance at a club. This was too formal.
Miroku was feeling the same thing; this was a really bad idea. You should not ask for date tips from a person who's more than twice your age.
"Would you like to go to a club?" Miroku asked in an outburst.
"Sure, that would be better," Sango replied, secretly being hopeful to dance with Miroku.

About two minuets after Kagome left the dining room. A soft sound on the floor was heard by Inuyasha. He quickly rushed up the stairs, the sound didn't sound like somebody just walking around. It sounded like somebody falling, but if someone falls the sound should be louder. There were many explanations but Inuyasha couldn't risk Kagome getting hurt. He knew the way his brother's thugs worked. They were ruthless.
When he got up, all of the people at the table were surprised. And Sota asked him "What is it, bro?"
He quickly replied that Kagome might be in trouble and everybody at the table started running toward Kagome's room.
By the time he got there, the room was empty. And unlike in any crime novel, the window wasn't open.
Inuyasha sniffed around the room a bit and soon looked under the bed. With a quick punch he broke the floorboard and crawled under. The place under the floorboard was a bit small but he managed to sniff his way to follow Kagome's scent. Along with Kagome's scent was another one, this scent was one of a wolf-demon, it smelled a bit familiar. As Inuyasha follow the maze it he soon came to a turn that brought him down to ground level. He asked Shippou's dad, who had followed him, where this maze led to.
"This is a tunnel the previous owner of the house used to avoid his wife," he said with a wink, "it leads to the forest outside of the original grounds, which is now a part of the ground."
Inuyasha and Shippou's dad soon found their way out and then started running to the scent.
Inuyasha was worried about Kagome, and soon started to use his powers. Shippou's dad would be a burden anyways, he thought.
But Shippou's dad followed with a fast pace. Gliding gracefully over the trees just like Inuyasha.
Inuyasha soon realized that Shippou's dad was a demon too. With his demon instincts activated, his concealment spell soon began to wear off. And some of his fox features were showing.
"Yeah, I'm a demon, I married a miko because only mikos can share my lifespan," (Idea originally used in popular fanfiction "Easy as 1, 2, 3".) He said.
Inuyasha and Shippou's dad, Kashawa (Lousy name!) soon reached where Kagome's scent seemed to have settled. A broken down house. They barged through the front door to be confronted by a boy with hair tied back in a ponytail. When he saw Inuyasha, he looked surprised.
"Inuyasha, is that you?" He asked.
"Koga?" Inuyasha said, puzzled.
"Old buddy!" Koga cried.
"Pal!" Inuyasha yelled.
But Inuyasha soon calmed down and said, "Koga, be careful, someone kidnapped my … my… friend to this place."
"She's your friend?" Koga asked.
"How do you know that the person's a girl?" Inuyasha asked, even more puzzled.
"Because I kidnapped her." Koga replied.
"WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled, "Give her back!"
"Sorry, can't, somebody hired me to take her out," Koga said with a sorry nod.
"Koga, if you give her back, I can give you twice what the original person paid you," Shippou's father said in a booming voice.
"Can't, assassin's rule. Can't turn on the hirer," Koga said.
"Koga, just gave her back!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Sorry, but if you want her back, you're going to have to get past me," Koga said.
"I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice," Inuyasha said.
The two faced each other, bowed, and then began fighting.
Koga was much more agile, but Inuyasha's power was amazing. As the two fought, Kashawa quietly crept up the stairs and searched for Kagome. He found her quiet fast and used fox fire to carefully burn off the rope binding her. He motioned for her to be quiet, picked her up, and leapt out of the window. He then turned back to the house, and yelled in a booming voice. "Inuyasha, I've got Kagome, she's just a little scared!"
Inuyasha quickly leapt out, and called back to Koga. "Sorry pal!"
With that they were off. In minuets they were back to the mansion.
