Chapter Two:
Inuyasha looked at the girl in amazement. This was the same girl that fainted last night? What a transformation. Such passion and fire, it made her even more alluring. Not that she needed it. He thought she was beautiful last night from two miles away and in the dark, but now............
He looked at their position again, he couldn't help it, it was just his natural charm. It was in his genes. Memorizing this picture, he opened his mouth.
"There is no position I would rather be in with you Kagome, But we just met. This kind of thing doesn't happen until the second date at least."
Kagome blushed multiple shades of red and got up quickly. "Just getting my point across."
Avoiding his eyes, she fidgeted with the bottom of her shirt. The guy got up and tried to catch her gaze.
"Well if you convince people like this all the time, you must win a lot of arguments. By the way, forgive my manners I barely have any, the name is Inuyasha."
Kagome turned back towards him and flashed him a smile. "Well at least you're honest."
Inuyasha growled and was about to say something when someone cleared their throat. They both looked to the door to see a teenage boy with red hair at the door.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting something, but Sesshoumaru wants to talk to you Inuyasha."
Kagome blushed at the implied meaning and crossed her arms against her chest. *OK now I'm ready to go, I think I've embarrassed myself enough for one morning.*
"Don't worry Shippo You weren't interrupting anything. She's a lousy prostitute."
Kagome growled and shot her arm out to punch him and hit air. She blinked, wasn't he just there? Who is that fast?
Shippo looked to Inuyasha's retreating back and the confused woman. Something was special about this human, he could tell already. He spoke up trying to get the woman's attention.
"Wow, no ones ever done that before."
Kagome picked up her discarded jacket and walked to the boy.
"What? Not try to kill him or vomit after he opens his mouth?"
Shippo smiled showed her the nickel tour.
Kagome's eyes must have been the size of saucers. This place was probably big enough for six people to live comfortably in. And she had feeling this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Shippo nudged her out of her stupor and offered her a ride home. She gladly accepted, the upper class buildings were miles away from the small cramped closet she called home.
Kagome groaned to herself once she saw the brand new black Lexus that the kid had keys to. *The kid's even richer than me.*
"Like it? Kouga gave it to me as a birthday present."
Kagome didn't know who this Kouga was, but he must be a pretty nice guy to give a brand new car to a teenager. Or extremely stupid. If she ever had the money, she would never give her brother a new car.
Once in the passenger seat she noticed a booster seat in the back seat. When he started the car she questioned him.
"Happy Birthday, by the way Shippo, you still look kinda young to be a father though."
Kagome saw him blush and smiled.
*Now we're even.*
"No, no, it's not like that, it's for my little cousin. She tells kids at school that I'm her personal driver."
Kagome giggled and gave him directions to her apartment.

When they got to her apartment building Shippo tried his hardest not to say anything. Kagome smiled and patted his hand, why couldn't her brother be this sweet?
"It's okay, it didn't impress me either. The only thing it did impress was my checkbook." Shippo smirked and bid her goodbye.
Kagome sighed and walked up the creaky staircase with her mail. More bills, more problems, no job, no money.
*Is it Monday already?*
She shrugged to herself and shouldered the door open. Setting the mail on the counter she headed to the fridge.
"I'm a five star chef and I can't even feed myself." Shutting the empty fridge she headed to her answering machine. Two from Rin, and one from Mom. She picked up her phone and dialed Rin's cell phone.
"Detective Maza."
"Rin, it's polite to say hello, when you pick up the phone."
"Since when do I have to be polite to my rude best friend."
"Rude?"
"Yeah I called you at least a whole day ago."
"Well time flies when you're being harassed."
"Really? Why didn't you call me?"
"Well for one, I'm a big girl, I don't need you to hold my hand, that's my Mom's job. Two, I don't have a cell phone."
"Get one."
"Can't afford it, can't afford anything right now."
"This sounds like a long story, how about you tell me over lunch."
"Rin-"
"Marcino's ten minutes."
"Rin-"
"You hang up on me."
