AN: Hi! I can't believe I haven't updated in such a long time! Gomen gomen! *claps hands and bows down* anyways, I hope you haven't forgotten about this fic just yet! Review please ^^

-_-_-_-

Kagome sneezed into the air, holding her nose slightly in order to prevent herself from doing so again.

Geez, someone must be talking about me, she laughed at the silly old superstition and continued walking towards her home, completely oblivious to the pair of eyes that were watching her from behind the shrub.

She sneezed again.

-_-_-_-

He lurked in the bushes, looking at the woman walk by. She was pretty, incredibly pretty, if only she had more make up on, she could've even become a model for his agency. He looked at her up and down, his eyes gleaming with pure lust, that hair, and those eyes, they made him so happy just to look at them. He thought he was in heaven.

The others don't compare to this at all, he thought ferociously. The man watched as she let out a sneeze, but even that small action provoked him even more. He rubbed the hair on his balding scalp and continued to follow her from behind the shrubs, of course, he did so silently.

I wonder if she's smart enough to notice she's being stalked, he told himself. I've been watching her for weeks, and she hasn't even taken a glance behind her shoulders. He chuckled to himself, beautiful and naïve, what a great combination.

The man stepped on a twig, emitting a loud cracking sound for his body was heavy, he looked around frantically, hoping the girl didn't notice anything peculiar. His question was answered when she flipped her head around worriedly; she stood still, the moonlight beaming off her silky, black hair and concentrated on her surroundings. He heaved a sigh of relief when she just passed it off as a coincidence.

The girl hummed again; a musical tune filled his ears and he swayed to the gentle music, even her voice was beautiful. What would I expect? He asked himself.

He looked through the bushes again and saw it was nearly time to enact his plan, the man looked at his watch, preoccupied with the second hand that was moving by slower than expected. Thirty seconds left until he would get her, only 30.

-_-_-_-

Sango looked around the room, expecting Kagome to be home any minute. She said she was going to be late coming home from work but she didn't know how late. Sango was getting worried, what if something had happened to Kagome? She knew she was being paranoid, but she couldn't help it, she was like this since birth.

She remembered Kagome calling her in the middle of the afternoon, talking of something about Sesshoumaru living one of the apartments near the hospital. Sango decided to call him, hoping that she could actually provoke him to check up on Kagome. She hated the bastard, but it was all she could do to make sure.

Sango dialed the key pads, ironically praying that he was home…

The phone rang once,

Then twice.

"Welcome to Sakura apartments, please dial the extension number you wish to call."

Sango tried searching in the back of her mind for the number Kagome told her. She bit her lip and clenched her brows together. What was it?! She asked herself. Suddenly, a minor flashback occurred in her mind.

342.

She pressed the number in the phone.

God, I just hope it's right…

-_-_-_-

"Kyaaa!!!!" Kagome screamed as she scoured away from the figure trying to latch onto her legs, she grabbed her purse and took out her peppermint mouth spray. She pushed the tiny button on it and lifted it up to the man's face.

"Ow!" he said, rubbing his eyes.

"Who are you?" Kagome asked him, hands on her hips while tapping her foot, snarling at the man who undoubtedly had…

…wait…

GREEN skin?!

"My name is Jaken." The man said, extending his hand for her to shake. Kagome refused and slapped it away, disgusted at him. "I've been following you for quite some time now, lady."

"First of all, my name is Kagome, second of all, what kind of sick pervert are you?!" Kagome shouted at him, he was even worse than Miroku! And she thought that that idiot was as worse as they got. At least Miroku didn't stalk people, well if he did, he certainly did it better than this person.

"OK then, Kagome-chan, may I call you that?"

"No you may not. Proceed." Little steam boats were coming out of Kagome's ears, she looked like a train engine ready to burst any minute.

"Fine. Do you want to know the reason I stalked you?" Kagome nodded her head vigorously. "Well, I have a modeling agency, and I thought that when I saw you, you would be perfect for it!" Jaken's eyes gleamed and he smiled a crooked grin at her, showing how much teeth he had lost over the years of his life. Kagome couldn't guess his age, she couldn't even tell if he was old or young.

"What the…?" she aksed, confused.

"Well, if you do decide to join, there is no job without its rewards. When you become a model for my agency, you get to be in company of myself, Jaken the great. Who knows, I can even make you my mistress!" The toad-like figure snorted like a pig and laughed. Funny, pigs were supposed to eat toads. Looks like this toad thought it was the predator for some reason.

"You think that…" Kagome couldn't even begin to finish off her sentence, she glared at the man and punched him directly in the face, although it didn't make much difference to the way he looked.

"So I guess that's a yes, then?!" Jaken smiled again and rubbed his bloody nose, he took out a tissue full of disgusting little snot balls that he'd managed to create over the years. Did he actually collect those things or something? Kagome shuddered.

"Not a chance."

"Come on, it would be fun!" Jaken said as he patted his beer-bellied stomach, winking his eyes at Kagome. He saw her run and chased after her furiously. He might not have looked like it but he was one hell of a sprinter and he caught up to Kagome, who was slowed down by both her nurse's uniform and her tired day.

"KYAAA!!!!" Kagome screamed, kicking Jaken in between his legs, the man didn't even move in inch.

"Kagome!!!" a voice suddenly rose from behind Jaken, making him drop Kagome to the floor, causing her to wince in slight pain. She looked at the holder of the voice and gasped as she saw it was Sesshoumaru. His long hair faltered in the breeze and one second later, she could see him right up against Jaken. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Sesshoumaru asked, pointing at the little toad-man, his anger was at full fletch.

"I'm taking her with me, that's what it is, if you think you'll stop me, think again, I'm pretty feisty."

Sesshoumaru lifted him up off the ground by the neck, being careful not to kill him just yet. Jaken gurgled and he tried spitting in Sesshoumaru's face, only to leave a line of drool down his face, if in fact, you could call it that.

"P-p-put me down…" he ordered in a stern voice.

"What do you say first?" Sesshoumaru dug his nails into the man's neck, causing a slight trickle of blood to fall out.

"Please."

"And?" He squeezed even harder.

"I won't disturb the lady again."

"That's it." Sesshoumaru dropped Jaken down when he least expected it, the man fell straight on his butt, only to bounce right up in the air. "Now go, before I kill you." Sesshoumaru said coldly with a slight hint of actual truth in it.

Jaken ran away, arms rising up in the air, screaming out loud "Mommy, save me!", it was a sorry sight of a full grown man begging for his mother. Sesshoumaru smirked at the remembrance of the thought and walked towards Kagome.

"Get up." He ordered, extending his arm to her, a gesture of sudden friendliness.

"Thanks…" Kagome refused the offer and stood up on her own, patting her skirt so that it was rid of any annoying dirt that got stuck on it, she tucked her hair behind her ears and picked up her purse that lay on the ground. Sesshoumaru glared at her once and walked past her, brushing her shoulder on the way. "Wait! Sesshoumaru!" Kagome screamed out, hoping that he would hear her. He stopped, not bothering to look back. "How did you know where I was?"

"Sango. You should go see her. She seemed worried." With that, he was gone into the darkness.

Sesshoumaru actually came down on account of Sango of all people? Kagome wondered about this for a bit and disregarded it as nothing, she ran towards her apartment building, wanting to tell her roommate that she was all-right.

-_-_-_-

Inu-yasha pouted as he realized that Kagome wasn't at work yet. Lately he'd been thinking about her a lot for some reason or other, it was weird, what was even more disturbing was the fact that he nearly lost his calm, superior look with her and Kouga yesterday. What was wrong with him? He checked his forehead, no temperature, maybe it was because of the IV drip? Not possible…unless, he had gotten drugged somehow and….

Inu-yasha shook his head when he realized that someone had knocked on the door.

"Sorry I'm late! Something weird just happened and I didn't know what to do…"

"What was it?" Inu-yasha tried to suppress the blush that was forming underneath his skin, he didn't want her to know how anxious he actually was.

"Well, umm…" Kagome fiddled with her fingers a bit.

"Tell me!" Inu-yasha whined.

"It's Sesshoumaru."

"What about him?"

"He just asked me to be his girlfriend again."

-_-_-_-
