Kagome sighed as she looked in yet another office door. How had she lost Mr. Renkzo?
Inuyasha had went to try a lock all the way down a hallway, but Mr. Renkzo was going the other way so Kagome said that she would follow him and Inuyasha would catch up. Well she had yet to see Inuyasha or Renkzo, and she was starting to get frustrated.
It was 1:00 and the two had been following Renkzo around all day. They had checked all the locks in the damn building and none of them fit. They even checked Mr. Renkzo's office while he was on his lunch break. This was the last floor to check until they ran out of options.
Kagome sighed as she looked into another door. She had just kind of expected the key to go to something in the office building that she really didn't have a plan B.
The key was in his brief case meaning that Mr. Renkzo had to carry it around. If it was something in his own home then he could just hide it there. But if it didn't go to anything in the office building then what did it belong to?
"Hey." Someone said, putting their hand on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome tensed and turned around to come face to face with a janitor.
"H-hello." Kagome said, her voice breaking slightly. Shoot! What if she got caught? Her covered would be blown and she'd be screwed.
"What are you doing?" The man asked, looking Kagome up and down suspiciously.
"I-uh. I was just-"
"There you are." Someone said, coming up to Kagome and placing their hand on her shoulder. "I've been looking everywhere for you."
Kagome relaxed as she realized that it was Inuyasha.
"Sorry sir." Inuyasha said, looking up at the janitor. "This is my fiancée. We just had a meeting and I went to the bathroom. I come back and she's gone."
"She's a little explorer is she?" the janitor asked raising a bushy eyebrow.
"Yes she is." Inuyasha said, wrapping his arms around Kagome's waist and laying her head on her head.
"How old are you kids? Surely not any older then 20." The old janitor said, raising his other bushy eyebrow.
"Actually I'm 19 and she's 18." Inuyasha said.
"When's the wedding?" the janitor asked, talking in a nicer tone then before.
"Valentine's day." Kagome said before Inuyasha could reply. "He proposed last Christmas and the wedding is next Valentine's Day." Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, though she didn't she him.
"Oh sweet." The janitor said, smiling.
"Yeah." Inuyasha said, still looking down at Kagome.
"Well you two better be running along."
Inuyasha and Kagome nodded and passed the janitor, hand in hand. The stayed like that till the turned the corner and were defiantly out of earshot. "Valentine's Day? Christmas?" Inuyasha inquired as he let go of Kagome's warm hand.
"Fiancée?" Inuyasha just shrugged his shoulder.
"You're welcome by the way. For saving you." Inuyasha gave him a side way glance and sighed. There was always something about him that made her forget that they were having an argument or that they were about to.
"Yeah, thanks." She said, running her hand through her hair to straighten it out. "Did it unlock the door?" Kagome asked.
"No." Inuyasha said sighing. They entered an elevator that was empty and Kagome pushed the ground floor button. Inuyasha stood quietly, leaning up against the back wall as the elevator went down before he realized that they were going to the ground floor.
"Why are we going down here? Is Renkzo there?"
Kagome sighed and turned to look him in the eyes. "Not exactly."
"Then what?"
Kagome pulled out the list that they had made; listing all the locks they tried and shoved it into Inuyasha's hands. "What ever this key goes to isn't here. Meaning that it probably goes to something inside his house so-"
"We're not breaking in." Inuyasha stated firmly.
"If we don't then we'll never find out what the key goes to and today would have been a total waste." Kagome cried, putting her hands on her hips.
"We aren't going to break in."
"Then what should we do?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha was silent for a moment before he got an idea. "Why don't we go to a locks smith and see if he can tell us what the key goes to?"
"Because then we'd have to explain what we're doing with a key that isn't ours."
"We can say that we found it on the street."
"Then he'd take it and look for the owner." Inuyasha sighed and started pacing the elevator.
"I'll tell you what." Kagome said, sighing. "We'll look in his house first. If it's not there then ok, we'll look for things that say number 13, like you said the piece of paper said. The 13 may mean nothing but then again it might. If we still don't find anything then we'll go to a locksmith. Fair?"
Inuyasha looked at her and sighed. "Fine. But if we're going to do this then we're going to make sure we don't get caught."
Kagome was about to ask what that was supposed to mean but the elevator opened and people came in. Inuyasha and Kagome walked out and into the parking lot. They got in the car quietly and Inuyasha drove away.

Miroku sighed as he sat in Science class. Science was boring if you didn't have Inuyasha there. He sighed and laid his cheek on his palm, looking up at the teacher lazily. Suddenly a piece of paper landed on his desk and he looked down at it, bored. He sighed and picked it up. He unfolded it and started reading it.
'Miroku, operation get Kagome and Inuyasha together is a go! I was thinking, you'll talk to Inuyasha, tell him how great Kagome is and I'll get Kagome to sit with us at the table. Sure Kikyo would be pissed that Kagome's sitting with us but oh well. As soon as Inuyasha falls for Kagome, Kikyo's gone. Understand?' Miroku sighed and crumpled the paper in his hand. Kagome and Inuyasha weren't a good match. Sure Kagome may be a nice girl but Inuyasha doesn't care about niceness, Kikyo being the perfect example. But Sango wanted to play cupid and of course Miroku had to help. Miroku un-crumpled the paper and picked up his pencil.
'Please reconsider Sango. Last chance. Inuyasha and Kagome isn't a good couple. And Kikyo would claw Kagome's eyes out if she were sitting at the table. Just let Inuyasha dump Kikyo in his own time, ok?'
Miroku folded the piece of paper and threw it over his shoulder, where he knew Sango's desk was.
He heard the paper quietly open and then silence as Sango read his note. Then he heard the tapping of her pencil against the paper and then the folding of the note. Miroku sighed as the paper landed in front of him again. He opened it and read it; again.
'Are you crazy? They're the perfect match the just don't know it. And Kikyo won't touch Kagome. She'll be all over Inuyasha, trying to prove to Kagome that he is hers. Inuyasha will see how much he dislikes this and how much he dislikes Kikyo and then he'll decide to break up with her. Kikyo will storm away, and then he'll see Kagome and then they'll start going out. The End!'
Miroku rolled his eyes. 'You suffer from insanity!' Miroku wrote back. No way was Sango's fairy tale ever going to become a reality.
A minute later the note was on his desk again and he read Sango's sarcastic remark: 'I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.'
