Chapter 4

Kagome waited for Kouga, but it was already late. She needed to get to work or risk being super late again. She pulled out her cell phone and called him.. There was no answer, only his answering machine. So she left a message. "Hey hon, I waited for you, but you never showed. It's past my time to be at work so I must go. See you soon, and love you." Kagome sighed heavily, she knew Kouga would be angry. 'Oh well.' She thought, as she picked up her keys and left for work. 'I'll just have to face my punishment later, work comes first. I've already lost two jobs from being late.'

Of course like always, when you're running late there will always be something to make you even later. Halfway to work Kagome's car stopped on her. "NO! Oh not now." Frustration and anger can crush you in no time, and for poor Kagome. It was becoming more and more lately. Resting her head on the steering wheel, and started to cry. "Why, why is my life going this way?"

Oddy enough InuYasha was in a taxi heading passed where Kagome's car left her sit. As the taxi drove by he recognize her. "Hey stop the car and go back to that stopped car." InuYasha told the driver. The taxi driver stopped, but wouldn't back up. "What the hell, I told you to back up?"

"Sorry Mack this taxi ain't backing up. You want to help that chick you're on your own." The taxi driver told him.

InuYasha was starting to growl, but stopped when he notice the driver was actually a fox demon in disguise. "Fine, but I'm not paying for the ride." He said, as he got out of the taxi and slammed the door. "Damn fox, I swear this place has way more demons then it did a month ago.

The angry fox demon cursed InuYasha and put the car in reverse. "I'll show that son of a bitch, no one gets away with not paying this fox." The wheels on the taxi squealed as the fox driver pressed the gas petal down hard. "DIE HANYOU!" He shouted as the headed towards InuYasha.

InuYasha turned at the sound of the fox's words of death. "Keh, you wish asshole!" He readied himself, and once the car was close enough. He picked the back of the car off the ground. "Now unless you want this car on it's roof, I suggest you put it in forward and get the hell out of here."

The fox demon growled, and did as InuYasha said. "I'll get you for this hanyou!"

InuYasha laughed and left the car down. "Now for the wench." He noticed as he approached the car she was on the phone. So he lightly knocked on the window to get her attention.

Kagome glanced up and was a little shocked to see him standing there. Since there was no answer on the other end of the phone, so Kagome hit the end button on her cell. 'Dear god, why does it have to be him?' Kagome thought, as she rolled the window down.

"Need some help?" InuYasha asked, as he rested his arm on the side of the car.

"Well yeah, but you don't have a car either? So I don't see how you can help me Mr. Taisho." Kagome said, as she started rolling up the window.

"Suit yourself wench, you just sit here or I can take you to work." InuYasha said, then turned to leave.

Kagome bit her lip, she really didn't like this guy. 'What choice do I have, I need to get to work.' She opened the door and yelled. "WAIT!"

InuYasha turned and grinned, then got down on one knee. "Then get on my back, it'll be a lot faster if I carry you." Kagome hesitated, but soon got on. After getting to his feet he told her. "Hang on tight."

Kagome was amazed at how fast InuYasha could run, and he didn't even to seem out of breath. 'Who is this guy, and how can he keep running and not be tired or breathing heavy?' Her thoughts stopped, when they we're at the office. "How'd we get here already?" Kagome asked, as she got off his back.

"Feh, what's the big deal? You never heard of guys working out? I do a lot of running to keep myself in shape." Even though InuYasha knew his words weren't true at all. "So how come your future husband didn't help you?"

Kagome just stared ahead and answered. "H-He had to work late, so I'll just call him later and tell him about the car."

'Yeah, sure he is.' InuYasha thought to himself. "Are you really sure he's working, he could be just laying around doing someone else."

Kagome turned red with anger. "How dare you! Kouga loves me, and would never screw around on me." Kagome turned and stormed into the office, she was already late enough.

'Keh, whatever wench. You just keeping thinking like that and you'll be the one getting screwed in live and not your pussy.' InuYasha thought, stuffing his hands into his jean pockets. He hated having to deal with this bitch now, but he needed a job and Kagome was the one with his files. So slowly he made his way into the office and took a seat in the waiting room.

"Kagome, I was starting to worry." Sango said, hugging her friend tight. "What happened dear, why are you so late? You know you only get one more chance, and after that they're fire you."

Kagome hugged her friend back. "Sango, I'm fine. My car broke down on the way here. I called and told Mrs. Rin, they're not going to fire me." Well it was half true what she told Sango. Even though the other part was she waited for Kouga, who never showed.

Sango moved back and gave her friend a concerned look. "Kagome, why didn't you call Kouga to get you? Don't tell me that jerk wouldn't help you, or he was working late again."

'Here we go again' Kagome thought. "Look Sango, I don't have time to discuss Kouga right now. Mr. Taisho is here for his file so I better go. We can talk about this later okay?" With that said, Kagome turned on her computer and set down.

Sango knew she was right, why else would Kagome avoid her questions. "Fine, but as your friend Kagome...please reconsider staying with Kouga. I don't trust him at all."

Both Sango and Kagome went on with work, little did they know what hell was to come that day. As for Kouga, he woke to a still naked Kikyou snuggled next to him. Rolling over he noticed the alarm clock on the night stand. "Damn, it's almost noon." He moved to sit on the bed and started putting his pants. He felt a hand slide over his naked back and down to his manhood. "Dammit Kikyou, not now I'm late." He said, slapping her hand away.

Kikyou started to get angry. "Fine go run to that bitch, she's not the one for you anyway." Kikyou said, rolling over in bed. She didn't need to worry she knew he'd be back. She just needed to find away to get him to forget Kagome. 'I will be your only woman Kouga, mark my works.' She thought, closing her eyes.

Once he was dressed, Kouga headed to Kagome's work. He was more angry at himself for being late then her, but like always it would be Kagome who would be at falt for his lateness.

Kagome had just called InuYasha back to go over his files when Kouga barged in. He slammed his fist on her desk, growling as he spoke. "Dammit Kagome, if you hadn't been late coming home from work yesterday, I wouldn't have been late for work. Because of you I had to stay late, and work over time."

Kagome felt like nothing as Kouga yelled at her in front of InuYasha. Tears were ready to fall, when...

"Look buddy, why don't you just go home and leave your woman do her job. Oh wait if I remember correctly, I think I saw you last night?" InuYasha was almost smiling at his luck of seeing Kouga and Kikyou together now.

"You son of a bitch, who as...k..?" Kouga froze when he turned and saw who was standing beside him. Of all people or demons, it had to be him. The guy who saw him with Kikyou. If this guy told Kagome he was with Kikyou last night, then Kouga wouldn't have the best of both worlds. Kouga swollowed hard and backed away. "I'll see you when you get home then, Kagome. And um...sorry about taking my anger out on you babe."

Kagome smiled and said good bye with a wave. Sango hearing Kouga yelling moved to see what was happening, she was glad to see the Taisho guy stand up for friend. She really feared Kouga would do worse once Kagome went home. 'Please Kagome, don't be fooled by Kouga's sweet words.' Sango thought, then went back to work. She would try after work to talk to Kagome about Kouga again.

With Kouga gone, Kagome went back to InuYasha's files. Before she started though InuYasha asked her a question that really caught her off guard.
