Chapter Two: ...Or Maybe Not, At Least For Inuyasha

¡@

Miroku was standing outside when he arrived...looking for him down Sango's throat, obviously.

"Get yourselves a room!" Inuyasha shouted when he got out of his car.

Abruptly the two pulled away, ignoring the amused glances of by passers.

"Get yourself a woman!" Miroku retorted, his possessive arm draped across Sango's shoulder.

"Dun need one, thank-you-very-much, Kinashita." Grinning like a Cheshire cat, Inuyasha approached them.

Eyeing the other wearily, Miroku muttered, "Then go fuck yourself and die, Kobayashi."

"Can we go in?" Sango cut in, wanting to end the pointless conversation. "It's chilly out here."

"You just noticed?" Chuckling, Inuyasha raised his eyebrows at her with great sarcasm. "Too caught with the oh-so-sexy Miroku to notice, huh?"

Sango blushed like a mad tomato, and jabbed Miroku in the ribs when he started to splutter with laughter. Trying to hide her flaming face without much success, Sango turned to Inuyasha. "So where's Kagome?"

The merriment in his eyes dimmed a little. "Couldn't make it, too much work."

"Aren't you supposed to be helping her?" Sango asked quietly.

"Hey! Live with it! It's my day off!" Suddenly irritated, Inuyasha turned to scowl at her.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Whatever, puppy. Anyway, we're here."

They arrived at a dark-blue door.

"Our special box," Inuyasha breathed.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Miroku rolled his eyes as he opened the door and pushed Inuyasha into it.

Inuyasha stumbled, and might have crashed into the floor if not for a certain hand steadying him. He looked up, and would have gasped if it won't make him seem manly. "Ka-Kagome?"

The female stood back and smiled. "Iie," she bowed low, enough to let Inuyasha see her cleavage. [show off ¬_¬] "I'm not as great as Officer Higurashi. My name," she straightened, "is Kikyo Ishikawa."

Dumbly, Inuyasha nodded. "Nice to meet you. I'm Inuyasha Kobayashi."

Kikyo's eyes widened. "O-officer...Ko-Kobayashi?!"

Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "The one and only."

"The cold Officer Kobayashi?"

Blanching, Inuyasha felt he would throw up. "Eh...maybe not the one and only..." he sweat dropped. "That...would be my brother, Sesshoumaru."

"The gentleman Officer Kobayashi?"

"That's my pop."

"The...wild, violent Officer Kobayashi?" Kikyo frowned.

Grinning, Inuyasha laugh half-heartedly. "Yup, that's me."

*Ahem* Miroku cleared his throat, getting the other's attention. "Inuyasha, this was the new staff we told you about last week."

"Yeah?"

"So, um, we thought we'd let you and Kagome meet her."

"But Kagome isn't here."

"So? What did you came here for?"

"Party!"

"You're on!"

They sang and danced; they chat and laughed, then after a while, the clock struck midnight.

***Meanwhile, at the Police Headquarter...***

Kagome was stressed. She pushed back her wheelie chair away from her desk.

"Stupid Inuyasha..." she moaned, blaming all of her stresses on her partner.

A knock at her door made her looked up. Kagome smiled weakly. "Hello, Kouga-kun. I thought you went home a little while ago?"

Concern was evident on his face. "I was worried about you." Walking closer, he eyed their surroundings closely. "All these work, Kagome-chan, will get to you. You should go home and rest. Call in sick tomorrow if you have to."

"I'm alright, Kouga-kun. Besides, these files need to be look to." A bit dazed, Kagome stood up, only to stumble as she easily lost her balance.

Swiftly, Kouga caught her in his arms. "Really, Kagome-chan, you shouldn't overwork yourself," he scolded, frowning.

He got a weak smile in reply. "You know I'm not, Kouga-kun. Just a little dazed, really." She stifled a yawn, ruining her chance of convincing Officer Ookami.

Kouga sighed. "Here, I'll take you home tonight."

Kagome's head rolled to the side when he placed her in his car. Running back into the building, he shut down the remaining power that was still on and set the security. Turning on his heels, he went back to his car, where a certain female officer was dozing. Looking at her peaceful face calmed Kouga somewhat, but, thinking it through, he decided that a certain dog-turd wouldn't get away with this. Although he knew this is wrong, Kouga was worried about Kagome. Gritting his teeth, Kouga forced himself to drive on toward the apartment.

His apartment.
