Curiosity Killed the Cat

"Freeze!" the cop said, the gun pointing towards kagome, though he was talking to Inuyasha.

"Shit," Inuyasha said, cursing under his breath as he put his hands in the air. "Move." He said to Kagome, motioning to where Inuyasha stood. Kagome slowly moved over towards Inuyasha, her hands in the air. "Get down on the ground." The cop finally said as Kagome next to Inuyasha.

Kagome and Inuyasha went down on their knees before lying down on the ground, their hands above their heads. Inuyasha watched as the cop walked backwards, the gun still trained on Kagome, as he went over to his partner.

The cop used his free hand to check his partner's pulse, still looking at the two figures on the ground. The cop gave his partner a moment's glance, to make sure that he wasn't hurt to badly, and that's when Inuyasha moved.

He quickly grabbed Kagome and moved her out of the way of the gun. The cop turned his head toward the two when he heard movement but the two weren't where they were a moment ago.

He quickly put both hands on the gun and looked around. As long as he had one he had the other trapped. He stood still when he heard twigs break and he looked behind him. But before he could react to anything, Inuyasha's fist connected to his face, sending him backwards, into a tree. The cop slid down the tree, the gun feet away from him, unconsciousness.

"Now what?" Kagome asked, freaked. Fighting cops was nowhere on her plan.

"Give me a second." Inuyasha said, pacing around, running a hand through his hair. "Ok," he said finally. "We'll put them back in their car and when they wake up they'll think that it was all a dream."

"That was your plan?" Kagome asked, looking at him incredulously.

"Do you have a better one?" Inuyasha snapped, looking down into the gray eyes of the mask.

"No." Kagome admitted. "But yours sucks."

"It'll do." Inuyasha said, walking over to the human cop.

He picked him up and threw him over his shoulder and walked over to the front of the house, being careful not to be seen, before putting the cop in the passenger seat. He walked back to the back yard and did the same with the demon cop, though he was gentler, not wanting to wake up the cop.

When he went back to the back yard he saw Kagome pacing back and forth.

"Now what?" he asked.

"What if they don't think it's a dream, they come back here and smell our scent?"

"Then they'll smell horrible perfume. What's the problem?"

"They'll follow the scent. That'll lead them back to your car and your car to my house. Then we'll be screwed."

"Kagome this town is filled with smells. It'll be almost impossible for them to track down our scent."

"Still, I don't want to take that risk."

"Oh yeah, and since when have you cared about not taking risks?"

"Since I had a gun pointed at me!"

"Like I would have let you get shot." Inuyasha said, rolling his eyes.

"That's not the point. The point is better safe then sorry."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes but gave up. "Ok, we'll walk the town that way the scent is everywhere before we go back to your house."

"Good." Kagome said, nodding.

"Come on." Inuyasha said, grabbing Kagome's wrist. "We have to jump the fence."

Kagome nodded and stood still as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and jumped over the fence easily.

"Please Sango, I'm begging you, reconsider." Miroku begged as he and Sango walked down the sidewalk. School had finally ended and now here he was, walking to Inuyasha's house, Sango determined to play cupid. "Please!"

"Miroku. I'm not changing my mind; so just give it a rest. Inuyasha will thank me later."

"You keep thinking that." Miroku grumbled as he walked down the sidewalk, his arms crossed in defeat.

"Just leave the talking to me." Sango said as they walked up to Inuyasha's house.

Sango knocked on the door, ignoring Miroku, and waited as Inuyasha's mother opened the door. "Oh hello Sango, Miroku, what can I do for you?"

"Is Inuyasha here?"

"Well…no. He has tutoring today. Didn't he tell you today at school?"

"What? Oh…well…oh yeah. Tutoring. I must have forgotten. And he just told us today at lunch too. Silly me." Sango said, giving Izayio a big smile. "Sorry for bothering you." Sango said, trying to get away.

"Freeze." She said, eyeing the too. "Inuyasha was at school today wasn't he?"

"Of course he was!" Sango said a little to quickly.

"Sango." Izayio said, narrowing her eyes.

"Y-yes?" Sango asked.

"You never were good at lying."

"What? I'm not lying!"

"Inuyasha wasn't at school today was he?"

Sango gulped, trying to get away from Izayio's glare. She never was good at lying to adults. "Technically…no."

"And just where was he?"

"I don't know." Sango said, her head down.

"Come in you two. We'll wait for him." Izayio said, walking away from the door, leaving it open for the two.

"Smooth." Miroku said, walking in the house after Sango. Sango glared at him and raised her hand as if to slap him but stopped.

"This was all apart of my plan," Sango lied.

"Sure it was."

Inuyasha sighed as they entered Kagome's house after 15 minutes of walking around town, trying not to be seen.

"I hope your happy." He said, making himself comfortable on her couch.

"Ecstatic." Kagome said sarcastically. "I'm going to take a shower. You can take one after me." Inuyasha nodded, though he was paying more attention on the TV.

-+-+-+-+-+ 45 minutes later +-+-+-+-+-+

Kagome and Inuyasha sat on Kagome's bed, looking at the list they had made and the file they had taken.

"That lock could still be in his house, we never did get to search it thoroughly." Kagome said.

"Yeah, but it could also still be in his office building. We never checked that out thoroughly either."

Kagome sighed, tired. "This was harder then I thought."

"So what do we do?"

"I don't know. We could search the town this weekend."

"Kagome we can search the whole world and we may never know what this key goes to."

"So what do we do?"

"Call it a day and worry about it later."

Kagome sighed blissfully. "What a plan."

Inuyasha smiled at her and got up.

"Tomorrow after school we'll focus on your tutoring. Then on the weekend we'll worry about this key."

Inuyasha nodded and walked to Kagome's door. "I'll see you tomorrow then."

Kagome nodded and watched as he put on his shoes. "Thanks, you know, for not letting me get shot." Kagome said as Inuyasha walked outside and down the stairs.

"No problem."

Kagome waited until he was out of sight before closing the door. She walked back into her room and lay down on the bed. A nap would feel pretty good right about now.

Inuyasha sighed as he walked all the way back to his car. It wasn't that it was a long walk; it was just that he wanted to take a nap. Never again was he getting up early.

He got into his car and drove home, glad it didn't take long. As soon as he pulled up in his drive way he exited the car and walked inside.

"Mom, I'm home." He called, intent on going to his room.

"Come here."

Inuyasha sighed but went into the living room where his mom sat. He walked into the living room and saw his mom, looking mad, sitting on the couch, and his two best friends looking guilty and scared, Sango guilty and Miroku scared.

"How was school?"
