Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

So here I sit; my car is getting an oil change and what a perfect opportunity to write Chapter 12… well- at least start Chapter 12. (I did start Ch12 and was almost half way done when a different flow of event came to mind.)

So this is posted kind of late today but hopefully you deem this chapter worthy to be hours late. Enjoy!


Chapter 12

.

.

He casually leaned back in his chair propping his feet up on his desk; paper pushed to the side. He slowly sipped from his coffee cup replaying the interview with Kagome. He was in a semi good mood. He had immensely enjoyed needling Inuyasha, who wouldn't? He could never pass an opportunity up like that, but that hadn't been why he had brought Kagome in for questioning. He did regret that the girl had become nervous but he needed her to come in. There was something about her that had gotten his attention at the gym and he couldn't figure out what. No it wasn't a mate thing he had already committed himself to Ayame and contrary to beliefs he was a one woman wolf. You would think that the 'fuck'n mutt' would have remembered that; instead he threatens him with Ayame. 'Fucker.' That gave him paused. 'Why?' Why was the stupid half breed getting so pissed off about a girl unless. . . unless-

"BWAHAHAHA!" he burst out laughing startling a secretary who happened to be walking by his office. He wiped away his tears of laughter. It all made sense and if he didn't know better he was sure the fuck'n mutt wasn't aware, yet. . . or maybe he was? He would have to remind himself to keep a safe distance from the girl in the future till the mutt straighten things out. But that left him in a dilemma. He had hope she would take him up for lunch. Maybe getting her out she would relax and he could figure out stuff. It could have worked but maybe telling her she was beautiful had been the wrong way to go about it. Okay not maybe, it was wrong of him but he couldn't help it she was and the mutt had been listening in, so… He pinched the bridge of his nose and focused. He was missing something but what and was it important?

~XXX~

The Halloween party was in a couple of hours and Kagome was actually looking forward to it. She gazed at her reading homework. She wanted to have a good time tonight. She wanted to forget everything that had happened this past month and start fresh in November. She was also quite honestly looking forward to seeing Hojo tonight. Hopefully, he had let go any ideas of them ever becoming a couple. She just couldn't see him in that light. She hadn't had a chance to find out what he felt about them since he came back to school about a month ago; they shared no classes and she had only managed to catch glimpses of him.

She quickly pushed herself from her desk, spinning in her chair and springing up as she made her way to the bathroom to take a shower. As she stood in the shower under the hot water, as it ran down her body she tried to picture all her troubles and worries going down the drain with the water. She let it all go, holding nothing back willing it all to go away. She wanted this to be a fresh start; she needed this to be a fresh start. The tap water was starting to cool, which was her sign to get out. She quickly entered her room got her costume on, dried her hair and brushed it. She then put some make-up, she wasn't a heavy user just a little for color was needed. She stopped in front of her mirror and did one look over- wait- she was missing one thing and quickly placed them on her head. There the outfit was now complete. The party started in another hour and it was starting to get dark, a quick nap wouldn't hurt.

~Fastforward~

Kagome had just arrived to the party a little late but that wasn't unusual for her. Sango of course had arrived at the party on time and was somewhere in here, she just needed to find the purple dressed flight attendant. She was shocked at how many others had worn the outfit too. It was crazy in here, the rooms and even halls were pack with people all dressed in costumes some had their faced painted, others wore masks. She slowly and carefully made her way to the kitchen, all the while looking for Sango. 'Oh Kami!' She had spotted Sango and she was at it again!

She quickly made her way forward but her foot snagged on something and she started to go down but luck was with her this time. Instead of hitting the ground as per usual she crashed into a guy in raven black hair in a red coat standing right in front of her, he quickly reached for her, steadying her.

"I'm so sorry!" she said apologetically.

She quickly set her feet under her and he released his hold of her. She thanked him for also keeping her from hitting the ground. She then continued on her way to Sango looking over her shoulder to see him still watching her, eyes wide. She smiled and waved at him before she turned around. 'Hm.'

"Hey Kagomes! You finallys gots here!" a jubilant Sango hollered at her.

All thoughts of the boy with raven black hair gone. "Your very happy?" Sango was acting a little weird to her. She couldn't be could she?

"Yess. The punch iss greats!" she hollered a huge grin on her face. She held out a glass of punch for Kagome to take. She tentatively lifted the cup to her nose and could smell the alcohol. 'Good Grief!' How much had Sango drank already. The party had only been going on for almost two hours.

"How much did you drink?" Kagome ask quizzically.

Sango shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly. "Who knows? Two- Three?" she smiled. "You'll nevers guess how manys guys a grope already!"

"I don't want to know, Sango." Kagome rolled her eyes. She really wished that Sango had never started this whole groping thing.

"Almost everyones," she giggled, "I'm going after hims next!" She pointed to a guy dressed in a dark purple tuxedo wearing an eye mask. She winked at Kagome and began to saunter over, trying to do her best and not trip. As she got closer she reached out ready to do a drive-by when the unthinkable happened. She tripped over some ones foot propelling her forward. She threw both hands up to stop herself from hitting the ground but she had misjudged the distance and instead ended up with a handful of the guy's bottom. A teardrop appeared on her face as she slowly took a step away ready to run but froze.

"My Dear Sango! Why we meet again." He smiled flashing white teeth.

Sango gulped realizing what had just happened. Good grief it had to be him, as she looked back at her hands realizing they hadn't relinquish their firm hold on his bottom; her face turning crimson.

Kagome watched in amusement as it all took place. She quickly ran over to assist her friend and get her out of any trouble but she couldn't help it she was on the verge of losing it and had to chock down a laugh and said, "It is destiny, Sango. You two are meant to be!" Kagome smiled doing her best to keep a straight face.

"Ah- Ms. Kagome you see it too then!" a joyful Miroku chimed in.

Sango sent a glare at Kagome as she straightened up. All buzz of drunk-ness was gone as she let go of Miroku. "Ahem. I actually was 'not' trying to grope you." She replied innocently. "I tripped and well as you see the rest is history."

He looked at her eyes twinkling. "If you say so." He slyly smiled back, "but I know better then that."

Her eyes widen momentarily as she quickly narrowed them. "I have no idea what you're talking about." She crossed her arms in front of her defensively.

"Come- Come- Dear Sango." He said waving his hands in front of him. "No harm done." He smiled again. She finally relaxes her stance and accepts the drink the Miroku is offering her. "By the way this one is not spiked like the punch."

'Crap.' How did she miss them spiking the punch or better yet why didn't she smell it at least. "Thank you" she sighs as she takes a sip.

Sensing that all was well between the two, Kagome excused her self in search of a drink. She secretly hoped that those two would get together they were cute together not to mention with Sango recent new hobby and Miroku's. Well. . .

She carefully worked her way through the crowd amazed with all the costumes. It was like the Super Halloween store had exploded in here. It was hard to know who was who. Now that she thought about it the one person she should have been able to pick out was Inuyasha. Her heart fluttered at the thought of his name. 'Not now Kagome, focus.' But in all honesty he would stick out of a crowd with his amber eyes and silver hair, wouldn't he? Then she saw silver hair in front of her and came to a sudden stop, her heart skipped a beat. 'Inuyasha?'

"Kagome?" He smiled, flashy her a fang. He was wearing a black cloak; under it he wore a white shirt with a black vest and black trousers.

"Hi." She said not sure what to make of his costume or him at the moment. This was not the same person.

His grinned grew when he realized it was her and pulled her into a hug, startling Kagome. Since when had he become so brazen? She hugged him back shyly not sure what to think or make of anything.

He pulled away from the hug and grabbed her hand pulling her behind him as he led them outside. He turned around to face her once they were outside. "Sorry" he said "but its kind of hard to hear in there."

"Yea, sure. No problem." She smiled back. "How are you doing?" She realized he still hadn't let go of her hand and gently pulled her arm back and placed both her hands behind her back. She was startled to see something flicker across his face but it happened so fast she wasn't sure if she had really seen anything.

"Ah, I'm fine. Had some family stuff to take care of earlier in the school year." Hojo smiled down at her.

"Hopefully, nothing serious."

"Nope, nothing serious." He smiled honestly at her. "I- um- you look nice tonight."

"Ah- thank you." She said blushing a bit. "Um, you do too. . . Dracula?"

"Yea." he chuckled. "Wanted to catch people off guard this year."

"That you did." She replied honestly. She had been prepared to see Inuyasha but not Hojo. She should have known it wasn't him. To begin with, he was missing cute ears and amber golden eyes. "I need to get back in. I told Sango I was only going to be a moment." She continued as she prepared to head back in, turning.

"Wait. Don't leave." He asked her as he grabbed her arm to stop her. She stood their debating what to do.

She had truly hoped that he had moved on. She really didn't see him that way and nothing was going to change that. She turned back around to face him again making sure to put her fake smile back on her face. Maybe seeing him tonight wasn't such a good idea after all but she truly had missed him as a friend.

"Please don't be like this Kagome."

"Nani?" she said startled "What are you talking about." Hoping against hope that this conversation had to do with a different subject.

"You should give us a chan-"

"Kagome, lets go." A boy in black raven hair and brown eyes said stepping away from the house. He walked over and placed himself between Hojo and her. The move had Hojo letting go of her arm.

~XXX~

How had he forgotten that tonight was the night of the new moon? He casually made his way around the party a drink in hand sipping as he went. Well, at least he now knew why his emotions had started to get the better of him earlier today. Fuck'n humans and the weak emotions he mentally grumbled as he continued walking around. He wasn't going to discount what he had said and felt earlier it was all-true. He had sorted it all out maybe there was something good about having a human night? At least he knew where his demon stood.

He hadn't been there long only having arrived after it had turned dark. Wouldn't do to get there to early and change. 'Try fuck'n explaining that one.' So far he hadn't heard anything of consequence on the girls death, Eri. Or on the reason for the gang being here. But the night was young and he had seen kids with flask pouring stuff into the punch, it was only a matter of time before tongues became lose and information started to flow; he hoped. He also watched Sango on her third cup; wonder if she knew there was alcohol? Oh well, not his problem. She was as bad as the perv and became worse with liquor in her; she must have at least grope have the guys here already. He quickly moved on having no desire to be one of those groped.

He shortly after ran into Kikyo or more like was brushed aside? She only gave him a moment glance, arching one eyebrow and continuing on her way. He wasn't complaining, he was actually glad she didn't recognize him; the less contact he had with her the better. He watched as she made her way to a guy dressed as a football player; he had no clue who he was nor did he care. He had told her that he wasn't going to the party, that he had made other plans already. Well, if she couldn't recognize him then he was sure no one else would, long black raven hair, human ears and dark brown eyes. He wasn't worried at all. He had decided to come as a Pirate King; he wore a red coat that stopped at the knees with gold buttons. He had only fastened three of the buttons, leaving his white blouse underneath exposed and wore black trousers with black knee high boots. He had his old father sword, Tessaiga at his waist to complete the look; he hadn't bothered with a hat.

The party was now packed and just about everyone was there from school. He wandered around the party catching bits and pieces of conversation. Most of the talk was in regard to the recent death at Houseki High. Hopefully, Miroku would hear something of consequence he was somewhere in here too but had not run into him yet; he paused on his way to the kitchen

"What the-" He caught his breath when he looked down and realized who had crashed into him. It was her, his Kagome. Well, she didn't know that. . . yet. He quickly grabbed her to steady her as she looked up at him in embarrassment; chocolate eyes meeting chocolate eyes. I small blush appearing on his cheeks at the closeness.

"I'm so sorry!" she said apologetically.

"Feh, whatever." Hr grumbled barely audible.

She got her feet back under her and he released his hold on her; she thanked him and then left. He watched, eyes wide, as she walked away. She was wearing a white nurse outfit with the Red Cross emblem over her shirt pocket her raven black hair swaying as she walked away. Could she look any hotter? 'She can nurse me any day.' He thought then his mouth practically dropped opened as she turned around smiled at him and waved. Did he think it out loud? Impossible and even if he did her human ears wouldn't have heard with the loud music. He continued to watch as turned back around to talk to Sango.

He decided to find a spot in the room with an uninterrupted view of Kagome. He watched amusement as Sango pointed at someone and made her way over. He watched in fascination as she tripped and went down and with two hands grabbed . . . Miroku's . . . bottom? Oh this was priceless! He couldn't help but laugh at what he finally witness with his own eyes that Miroku swore happened at the mall. The perv had spoken true, not that he doubted him but it still was something else to witness such a thing. What he would give for his demon hearing right now! All he could do was watch them talk, then Kagome said something and left.

He watched as she slowly made her way through the crowd, abruptly stopped. What was she doing? She was just standing there. 'What the fuck!' He watched a guy in silver hair wearing a clock grab Kagome, pull her into a hug and quickly took hold of her hand pulling her along behind him. He quickly followed, not sure what he was walking into. He watched as he pulled Kagome out the backdoor, into the middle of the backyard away from the house. He quickly made his way to the door and quietly slipped out and hid behind a bush that was next to the house

Why the 'fuck' was that guy still holding Kagome's hand and didn't she realize it. As soon as he thought it he watched Kagome pull her hand out of his and placed them both behind her back; playing with her fingers; she was nervous. He started to calm down a little till he caught the look the kid shot her at her hands being pulled away. Although it had been quick he didn't miss it, he may be a human right now but he was no idiot, he was a guy after all.

He was tensed as he watched them talk. He couldn't hear anything since the music in the background drowned them out but he still tried but failed. The one thing he could watch was body language and Kagome was tense. Then just as suddenly she turned to leave. He started to relax until the kid put his hand on her to stop her from leaving. He could see the uncertainty on her face; she didn't know what to do. She turned back to face the kid and he had had enough. This was ending now.

"Kagome, lets go." He growled as he stepped away from the house. He made sure to step between them making the kid break his hold on Kagome's arm.

"Kagome, do you know him." Hojo asked startled and working hard not to look annoyed. Which Inuyasha did not mess.

"That's not your concern." Inuyasha snapped back. Kagome just stood behind me shocked, she was glad that he had got Hojo to let go of her arm and actually was kind of glad he interrupted. Making a conversation she didn't want to talk about come to an end. But who was he? He obviously knew her and her name. Which. . . she could have sworn she didn't tell him when she ran into him or did she?

Next thing she knew the guy in question was facing her and turning her around placing his arm around her waist and propelling her forward. She went without a fight to startle and confuse over everything. He kind of sounded like Inuyasha but when she peeked out of the corner of her eye to get a look at him he had human ears and brown eyes; definitely no cute white ears sat atop. She looked behind her to see Hojo looking at them shock and she sent him an apologetic smile back.

By now they had entered the house and he still hadn't let go of her. And as annoyed as she was starting to become with this guy she oddly enough knew that he wouldn't hurt her; she felt safe . . .? 'Odd.' She knew she should have known who he was but she just couldn't place him.

He wasn't ready to let her go, he was determined to deposit her with Sango and Miroku with a warning not to be alone with the kid again. He had just spotted them and turned them in their direction.

"AAAAH!" Kagome screamed as the cold punch soak through her costume making contact with her skin underneath while the remainder that didn't soak in ran down the front of her costume and unto the floor.

"Oops! Again." She nonchalantly said with a glint in her eye.

Kagome startled screamed had him pushing Kagome behind him, making sure to grab a hold of her right hand and keep her close as he turned to face the perpetrator. Kikyo. "What the fuck was that for!" he snarled at a sneering Kikyo. As Kagome stood behind him shivering as she use her one available hand to pull some of the costume away from her body.

"I truly have no idea what you're yelling about," she smiled innocently, "it was an accident." Earlier when she ran into him she had only given him a moment glance not really caring for him since she was currently busy but that was before she saw him interrupt Hojo with Kagome. Not that she was defending the twerp nor care for him; he wasn't even her taste; Kagome could have him. But now this was, and now that she had the time she definitely liked what she saw and he was off limits to Kagome. If only Inuyasha looked like him then everything would be perfect. Maybe she would drop him for this catch. She stepped forward closing the space between them.

"Why are you wasting your time with that?" she smiled sweetly as she pointedly stared at Kagome returning her look to him, while running a finger down his cheek her hand coming to a rest on his chest. "When I'm here?" She leaned in to seal it with a kiss when she felt her hand get knocked off his chest and was shoved back getting the attention of those near by.

"Stay the fuck away!" he growled at her taking a step back pushing him self flush against Kagome. Startled she threw her free hand on his waist to keep him from running over her, his left hand came down to rest on her hand on his waist. He gave her hand a squeeze to let her know he was aware that she was there but didn't let go. "Who the fuck would want to be with you?"

Kagome shocked that he would push Kikyo away tentatively got on her tip toe and clinging tightly to his hands rested her body against his as she peered over: confident that he wouldn't desert her and would protect her. Why was she feeling this secure? She didn't even know who he was, not even a name.

Kikyo had not been prepared for this kind of reaction. Usually guys went along with what she wanted but not him. She narrowed her eyes at him not having miss the fact that he hadn't let go of her hand and know had a grip on Kagome's other hand too. "I had been willing to dump my boyfriend for you but on seco-"

"Who the fuck would want to be with you!" he mocked her.

She glared at him as she responded, "Inuya-"

"He won't be for much longer." He stated matter of factly. "Actually," tilting his head in contemplation, "its safe to say that by tomorrow it's over between you two." He smirked at her shock expression. By now the whole room was silent listening awed and shocked at every word that that was spoken, all except Miroku of course. Who grinned in glee that Inuyasha had finally come to understand his feelings. Well- that's at least what he hoped and by the way he held on to Kagome it assured him that his assessment of the situation was correct.

"And how the fuck would you know that?" she snarled at him. "I have never seen you till today and I doubt you know Inuyasha that well."

He narrowed his eyes at her making sure that he had her full attention. "I know him better then you ever will." He replied. "Don't ever doubt me on that score." With that he let go of Kagome's left hand and turned around coming face to face with a startled Kagome. Not having let go of her right hand yet. He lifted his right arm and spun her to bring her facing forward his right arm coming to rest behind her back as he let her hand go to rest his hand on her waist. "Lets go find a bathroom and get you cleaned up." With that they disappeared down a hall leaving behind a stunned Kikyo and room.

Kagome let herself be ushered along by the boy as he led her down a hallway towards what would hopefully be a bathroom. She didn't say a word not knowing what to say as he stopped in front of a door she assumed would be the bathroom. He opened it and let her in and told her he would be outside waiting for her when she was done.

She nodded not knowing what else to say and walked in shutting the door behind her and locking it. She stared at herself in the mirror; she was a mess. She grabbed the towel on the rack and vainly tried to remove whatever she could with very little success. The punch of course was green for slime and now she wore it; her costume ruined. It wasn't to late into the night and she didn't want to have to call it a night but then again she didn't want to walk around wearing punch that smelt of alcohol neither. All the while she couldn't get her mind off of the boy who waited outside for her. She knew she knew him. She vainly thought of every boy she knew but still couldn't it place him 'but' he knew her! 'How?' She scrubbed harder and even used some of the soap in hopes that it would at least lessen the smell of alcohol as the frustration of not being able to place him grew.

She finally gave up knowing it wasn't coming off. 'Whatever.' The good part was the smell of alcohol had been removed and she had come to a decision. She was going to ask him who he was and how he knew her. She looked at her self in the mirror one more time as she opened the door to step out.

Inuyasha was leaning against the wall hands crossed in front waited outside for her patiently. Knowing that she was working hard to remove whatever stain she could. How did he know? Well, she was a girl for one thing but the big give away was he could hear her scrubbing hard. Worse case he would hand her his coat; no big deal. Unless of course she wanted to leave which would be disappointing, he wasn't done here yet but he could at least see her safely home. That much he could do.

Then he heard it. People arguing down the hall about something. He looked around to see if anyone was watching and pushed himself off the wall, making his way slowly down the hall to listen in. This just might be what he was looking for.

What the fuck do you mean, 'We need four more?' I was under the impression that one was enough. Well its not. He needs four more and then there is 'the one' that we need to still find. Fuck, I thought this was supposed to be easy. Did he give us any clues as to what four we looking for? Well, at least Inuyasha could tell that there were two people in the room because of the different voices speaking. He said he would get back to us on it but to be ready and not to do anything stupid to jeopardize his success. Otherwi- Shhh. 'SHIT!' he quickly looked for cover. 'Fuck, fuck, FUCK!'

Kagome opened the bathroom door ready to walk out when she crashed into Inuyasha. Who promptly secured her against him and lifted her off her feet placing her back in the bathroom, shutting the door behind them. She opened her mouth to protest, which he quickly covered with his free hand.

He felt her tensing at this and leaned down. "I'll explain. Just stay silent, please." He asked pleadingly softly into her ear. His breath against her ear sent a shiver down her back that he didn't fail to notice. She nodded her head in acknowledgement at this and he uncovered her mouth.

Kagome was firmly pressed against him still and she had done nothing to get out of his embrace. She couldn't help it when he had whisper in her ear his breath teasing her ear sending a shiver down her spine. Her face started to feel warm and she looked down to avoid looking at him, feeling his eyes watch her.

He studied the girl in his arm and could tell that she was blushing. All thoughts of the voices he had heard in the room gone as he caught her chin gently with his free hand forcing her to look at him and softly kissed her. Her lips were soft and silky against his.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK!

They both jumped not prepared for the banging on the door. Fuck, he had forgotten about that other problem the moment he held her in his arm.

"WHO'S IN THERE?" the voice screamed.

Inuyasha let go of Kagome placing her behind him so she wouldn't be seen as he turned to open the door. On the other side was a guy with brown hair pulled back wearing a black outfit. They guy was pissed eyes narrowed as he looked at him and he could imagine why he just been found out. 'Fuck!'

"Ahem." Came a soft voice from behind him as Kagome stepped forward peering over his shoulder a blush kissing her cheek.

"We're sorry. You can have the bathroom." She mumbled embarrassed.

The guy taken aback apologized profusely for interrupting and shut the door on them. Inuyasha turned around and looked at her in amazement as she grinned at him for her quick thinking. "Figured you needed help so, um. . . yea." her blush deepening. "Was that why you push me back in here?" she whispered, afraid that someone might hear her. He nodded his head not sure what else to do at this point.

Why hadn't he thought of that? Kagome had just saved him and she didn't even know it. "Thank you." She smiled back her beauty taking his breath a way.

"Um, I do have a question." She asked quietly. "Who are you?" That he hadn't been prepared for. 'Fuck.' He didn't know what to do. Only a handful of people knew who he was in his human form.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean-"

"Feh. It's not that. I can't tell you now 'but' I promise to tell you soon." He promised her.

Could she trust him? Her heart was saying yes, that he wouldn't lie to her and she believed it. "Okay, then." She agreed. "Can I ask one more question?"

"S-ure." He responded not sure what other thing she was going to ask all thoughts of the kiss gone for the moment.

"How do you know Inuyasha?" Just fuck'n great he should have seen that coming. "I can't explain that right now either." He mumbled not wanting to look her in the eyes. "Just know that he will always protect you and be there for you." He said meeting her gaze "He will never let anything hurt you, I promise you that."

She could hear in his voice how sincere he was in his statement of Inuyasha and she believed him. Something in her soul told her she had no reason to doubt this guy. She giggled then. "Um, One more question?"

He looked at her and sighed not knowing what to think since she giggled if this was going to be good or bad.

"What's your name?" She smiled "I forgot to ask that first." She laughed again making his heart swell with pure delight.

"Call me Inu." He hadn't even pause to think it out. It was a nickname his mom used to call him and the first thing that came to mind. "Now lets get out of here before your friends come looking for you."

The rest of the night was uneventful thankfully and she ended up having a blast even with the green stain down her front. Inu had been kind enough to lend her his coat to cover her up so she wouldn't feel conscious which she was grateful for. Her friends had been okay with Inu joining their group with Miroku only arching an eyebrow as he joined them but she figured that was because she had brought back a guy with her. By the end of the night Inu had insisted that he see her to her door, otherwise he would worry. Which she gave in since she didn't want him to worry and as she walked up the front steps to her door he gave her a quick peck on the cheek and left.

Now she was alone in her bed, washed and in her pj's thinking about all that happened at the party. It had been a busy fun night and she couldn't remember the last time she had had this much fun! She was about to drift off to sleep when she remembered he kissed her! How could she have forgotten that and why hadn't she asked him about it? 'Crap!' It was to late to ask him and he said it would be awhile before she saw him again but not to worry that Inuyasha would be there for her. Maybe he hadn't meant it to happened? But why then did it feel right? And with .those last thoughts she finally allowed her self to fall asleep.
