Inuyasha Kobayashi hummed along with the radio as he sped through the parking lot and beat another car to a parking space. The other driver swore and flipped him the bird, but Inuyasha paid him no attention as he ran into the police headquarter. Several greeted him as pass, although all they got in return was a careless wave. Reaching a small office near the back of the building, Inuyasha knocked on the door frame three times.

A female, seated at the desk, looked at him before turning to smile politely to the person she was talking to. "Well, Kouga-kun, it was nice talking to you."

Officer Ookami took the hint and nodded. "Hmm, yeah. See you later, Kagome!" As he pass Inuyasha on his way out, Kouga sent the other an evil glare, which went unnoticed by Kagome.

Glaring, Inuyasha flipped him the bird in return, earning a exasperated sigh from Kagome. "Be nice, you immature."

Turning back to her, Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "Now, I didn't came here just to get lectured by you."

Kagome sighed again. "Yes, you came here to work, which reminds me: you're half an hour late." She sent a bone-chilling glare at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha only shrugged, not caring. "I've decided to take the day off."

Sighing for the third time, Kagome glared at the stack of paper on her desk. "Whatever, lucky dog." Then she turned her eyes on him again. "So what's new?"

Inuyasha grinned from ear to ear. "Miroku got a purple eye and a few bruises."

"Why?"

"From groping Sango, again."

The female officer gave a half-hearted laugh. "That's hardly news at all."

"True."

She gave him a quizzical look. "So why are you here, if you've got a day off?"

Inuyasha eyed her for a moment. "To ask you something."

"Shoot away."

"Well, are you going to the club tonight?"

"No, why?"

"Because if you're," he shrugged, "I would pick you up..." he trailed off. "But then why not? I thought you were available tonight."

Sighing for the umpteenth time that day, Kagome glanced at the stack of paper next to her reproachfully. "Not any more," she sobered.

"Why not?"

She glanced at him. "Work, Inu, work! There's this new information on Shikon no Tama that needs to be looked over! You were supposed to help me on this!"

Inuyasha grinned. "Sorry. It's my day off."

"Argh! You good-for-nothing bastard!" Kagome threw up her hands in exasperation.

Chuckling quietly, Inuyasha turned to walk away. However, just before out of ear-shot, he turned around and called, "I was born that way!" Then he was gone.

Kagome pressed her forehead against the cool top of her desk and moaned. "I hate Friday...and I hate Inuyasha."
