I don't own Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does. I do own Juniya, Kichiro, and any other characters of my own creation.

Piecing Together Broken Hearts

Chapter 14

You Two Seem To Get Along Well

As the group was walking on their way, they were chatting about various subjects. Sesshomaru, Kichiro, and Sango were debating the usefulness of motorcycles.

"There are certain laws that don't apply to motorcycles that apply to cars!" Sesshomaru said.

"Yeah, and you can weave in between cars, so it's a lot faster!" Kichiro added.

"But they're so darn noisy!" Sango exclaimed. "You could go deaf!"

Rin, Juniya, and Miroku were talking about food.

"Man, don't you just love cinnamon buns?" Rin asked. "They're the best!"

"Mmm, I love the gooey frosting!" Juniya exclaimed. "It's so sweet!"

"Yeah, I know how tasty it is, but the healthiest part of it is the cinnamon!" (A.N I did my research! Google ROCKS!) Miroku voiced his smart alec remark.

"Well, that's good too!" Juniya and Rin both said.

That left Inuyasha and Kagome alone, hand in hand. Kagome was leaning slightly on Inuyasha. They were both very happy; both Kagome and Inuyasha couldn't express how joyful they were, about Koga's being out of Kagome's life, in words. Their comfortable silence was broken by Inuyasha.

He had just noticed how delectably Kagome was dressed. She was in an attractive top that was scarlet and had ruffled black fabric across her chest. It let him see just a small glimpse of her cleavage. And then hugging her perfectly shaped hips was a pleated miniskirt. On her beautiful feet was a pair of bright red heels with a black rim and bow. Why did she have to make his mouth water?

"Kagome, my mouth's watering; and not from the smells of food up ahead." Inuyasha plainly stated, again looking her up and down.

She blushed. She silently thanked her friends for forcing her to wear this outfit.

"What do you mean, Inuyasha?" she asked innocently.

"What do you mean, what do I mean! Did you purposely wear this, just to drive me crazy?!" he asked, clearly showing how he enjoyed it by looking her up and down again.

"No, my friends made me." Kagome said.

"Well, thank them for me. Do they have psychic powers?"

"Again, no."

"Hmm… Well, I don't care!" he said. "You look HOT!"

"Thanks." Kagome said, her face growing hotter.

Inuyasha hadn't had enough when he had kissed Kagome to help her. He wanted to taste the tangy taste of her cherry lips. He took her by surprise when he slid one of his arms around her waist from the back and lifted her, while his other hand gently tilted her head backward. His lips found hers and he grazed them, ever so lightly. Then his lips came down to touch the edges of hers. She recovered from her shock and quickly moved her head so that his lips were on hers, pressing them to his. She slid her hands into his hair, pulling gently on his head so that he couldn't pull away. He traced her lips with his tongue while she moaned softly. But they were interrupted.

"Well, you two really get along well!" Kichiro said, smiling devilishly.

"Dammit!" Inuyasha thought.

They had forgotten about their friends. They broke apart, Kagome blushing out of control and Inuyasha fuming.

"I'm gonna kill you, Kichiro!" Inuyasha yelled, setting Kagome on the ground and leaping at Kichiro.

He dodged the lunge effortlessly. "Oh, really; a measly half-demon beating a full fledged cougar demon! I don't think so!" Kichiro said, teasingly. But his eyes glinted black for a second, showing Inuyasha that he could and would fight if Inuyasha went against him. (A.N A cougar is the same thing as a mountain lion. "Cougar" is just another name for a mountain lion.)

Inuyasha growled. He was going to get payback for making Kagome embarrassed. He stood in his fighting stance. Kichiro stood in his.

But before either of them could make a move, Kagome was standing in between them, her arms out to block them from each other.

"Stop this! I don't want two friends fighting!" Kagome shouted. "We're going to the food court to get some chow now and no one is going to fight!"

Inuyasha loved how she looked right now. Holding her would be so much better than fighting with Kichiro any day; especially when she was looking so beautiful. He got out of his fighting stance and grabbed hold of Kagome's hand.

"Well, you all heard the lady; let's get going!" he yelled over his shoulder.

Kichiro stepped out of his fighting stance too. He looked after them, shaking his head.

Juniya giggled. In less than a millisecond, Kichiro was behind her.

"And what's so funny?" he whispered in her ear edgily. Juniya shivered as his breath tickled her neck.

"Nothing important." She whispered back wittily. Then she started walking as if he hadn't just spoken to her.

Kichiro stood there in awe. Usually, people couldn't even move; they were so scared. And yet this girl just walked off like nothing had happened. He returned quickly.

"Oi, girl! I wasn't done with you!" he called after her.

She turned around. "As Kagome explained, my name is Juniya; not "girl"! Learn to use it, please." She said, allowing a little acid to creep into her voice. She turned on her heel once again and kept walking.

What was this girl? Was she fearless? Or did she just have a death wish? Even Inuyasha knew that it wasn't a good idea to annoy Kichiro.

But if he was going to get some answers, he would have to play by some of this girl, Juniya's, rules.

"Ok, then," he muttered. "Let's try this again."

"Oi, Juniya; I wasn't done questioning you!" he said starting to walk towards her.

"Alright then; hurry up!" Juniya said over her shoulder.

Kichiro was pissed; no on told him what to do. But, he wanted to interview her. He jogged up to her.

He stood behind her again, this time holding her shoulders so that she couldn't just walk off again. He was surprised when he felt something like an electric shock shoot through him. I seemed it the girl felt it too; she had jumped, startled, both from the shock and him clamping his hands on her shoulders.

"Ok, now. Time for questions." Kichiro whispered in her ear once again.

"You know, it'd be nice if I could see you when you're talking to me." She said, sounding a little annoyed.

He complied. He turned her around to face him.

"Ok, what was so funny?" Kichiro asked, happy to finally get to questioning her.

"It was funny when you shook your head at Kagome and Inuyasha." Juniya stated.

"Why was it funny?"

"Because you looked exasperated."

"And what makes you think…"

"It looks like I'm not the only one getting along well with someone!" That voice was unmistakable. Kichiro fumed. He looked up towards the voice.

As he had expected, Inuyasha stood there looking at him with a smug look in his eyes.

"Inuyasha…" Kichiro growled.

Inuyasha lifted Kagome and put her on his shoulder gently. With one arm pressing Kagome to his shoulder and the other one free, Inuyasha dashed around a corner at full speed.

Inuyasha was going to pay.
