Sorry if Thomas sounded like a novel when he was telling Kagome about the history of the vampires but in a way, I made it drift off from his voice to just a narrator that was explaining it and going back in time to retell the story. This may seem really confusing at first but don't worry... everything will be cleared up as you read... you didn't miss anything last chapter... so read on!

"___" is speaking '___' is thoughts

Disclaimer: "I am in my pajamas with my friend, writing away! Oh... hey... do we own Inuyasha?" "Umm... it would be cool... but no... so don't sue. We're in our pajamas."

"Umm... you better take her back to your room Inuyasha... she was a bit overwhelmed I think..."

For once Inuyasha didn't disagree or say anything back to Thomas, but he just bent over and picked up Kagome's limp body. Both looked weirdly at each, but just shrugged it off and went their separate ways.

Chapter 3: Ditching Kagome

"Inuyasha..." Kagome's annoyed voice echoed throughout the empty forest. "Where the HELL are you!"

Birds that were sitting peacefully in their trees suddenly flew off in all directions at the loud noise interrupting their peace. Kagome's face was turning red from frustration and her arms were crossed in front of her chest.

"Yeah... my duty is to make sure Inuyasha doesn't get killed... so how the hell is that supposed to happen when he deserts me in the middle of the woods!?"

It was only hours before when Kagome and Inuyasha were sent out on their first night of work together. Of course Kagome had no idea what to really do except what was told of her. Inuyasha knew what he had to do... but he had other plans. Now she was alone, searching for him, screaming his name, and giving her position up very stupidly.

Inuyasha wasn't too far away, but her voice was as clear as day. 'Damn! She's so loud! She doesn't know how to shut up... I'm already getting a headache from her stupid persistence.'

But just as Inuyasha started to rub his temples to dull the growing pain, his senses shot into action as he felt a few vampires' auras growing near. He smiled in satisfaction. 'Maybe Kagome isn't so bad to have around after all... she's attracting more vampires with her yelling than I could ever kill in one night of hunting.'

Yes... he could tell Kagome was the vampire's main target, but he would get to them before they got to her.

'Fighting in the forest will be harder, especially with all the trees that will prevent easy movement. I have to lure the vampires into the open... but how they hell am I going to do that?!' After a moment of contemplation, he had the perfect plan on how to do just what he wanted.

He jumped from the branch he was standing on, and started to run towards the gathering vampires. Each of them were sneaking in and were moving slow, giving Inuyasha plenty of time to run to where Kagome was standing. As soon as he saw her, he purposely walked into Kagome's view. Once he was sure she saw him, he ran off through the trees to where she would follow.

'Now all I have to do is get to a cleared area and make sure Kagome brings her 'friends' with her.' Inuyasha thought to himself.

Kagome, in her frantic search of Inuyasha, had spotted him. His silver hair wasn't hard to miss when it reflected the moons rays but now he was running off again. 'I'm not going to loose him again!' Kagome silently yelled.

She followed after the figure right away, running through bushes and around trees, her pants getting torn from thorns and branches all along the way. She finally reached a large clearing, but what she saw disappointed her. No one was there... Inuyasha was gone... again...

Her frustration grew even more, but she stopped her rising anger once she had the tingling feeling hit her senses. It was growing stronger by the moment and Kagome started to freak out. 'Where's Inuyasha when you need him!? I can feel some vampires coming this way! It's only my first night and I'm going to die! Where is Inuyasha!?'

But her thoughts were interrupted when a few objects jumped out of the trees that now stood behind her. She whipped around to try and see how many there were, but they jumped with such great speed that not even a glimpse of one caught her eye. But as soon as she saw the figures jump, she heard someone shouting. Before she could even try and figure out what was going on, something solid and large landed right next to her. Soon after that, a few more things fell from the sky, onto the ground, and landed around her. The water from a pond not too far away became very disturbed when another object fell into it.

Kagome wasn't very sure what she should expect, but when she looked down onto the moonlit grass, she nearly screamed. There around her lay a few bodies with their heads strewn across the grass. Their faces were contorted with shock and pain, while some had their fangs showing. Only one word was able to come out of Kagome's mouth. "Vamp... ires..."

But just as soon as the corpses had landed on the ground, they blew away in the breeze as thin dust. As she stood on the field, fear etched upon her features, a soft chuckle sounded from directly behind her. She whirled around only to come face to face with her partner. His sword was out and glinted in the light. He sheathed it and looked at Kagome.

"Scared were we? You know you're excellent bait." Inuyasha taunted her.

Kagome snapped out of her horror and glared at him. "Where were you this whole time?! I've been looking all night for you! You call yourself a partner? And I might add that this is my first night! How could you ditch me like that? And you're calling me bait? How dare you!"

Inuyasha had never expected this out of her and just looked at her almost with fear of being beat up. Kagome's face showed all her frustration and was now being directed towards her partner. "Calm down... don't get all upset over it."

"CALM DOWN? How can you tell me to calm down after everything that has happened to me in one single night!?" Kagome continued to yell and got up into Inuyasha's face. "First I'm kidnapped by you, then I faint when I think that I'm going to 'volunteer' to have YOUR half-vampire child, and now I have to hunt vampires, forget about my family, leave everything I've known behind, and deal with you leaving me!"

Kagome was breathing hard and had to catch her breath after that very long sentence. But before we move on, some things must be explained such as how Kagome fainted and then suddenly ended up in the woods looking for Inuyasha.

~*~Flashback~*~

Kagome was now in her and Inuyasha's shared room. It was sparsely furnished with a single bed in the corner, a table with a lamp next to it. The door that led to the main building was located a little ways down a miniature hallway. Below the bed there was a circular table with 2 cushioned arm chairs set next to it. A few feet from the chairs there was another door that led to the bathroom. The bathroom was an old green color with a pedestal sink, standing shower, and toilet. It was very dirty and mildew covered most of the tile, but other than that, the bathroom connected both of the bedrooms. With locks on either of the doors, one couldn't jump in on the other or sneak in each others rooms during the night. In Hunters of the Trade, partners were not expected to sleep in the same room for safety reasons. An unexpected late night snack wasn't what anyone would want to happen so they kept both half breed and human separated.

Kagome now lay on her own bed where her partner had put her. After she fainted, Thomas dismissed both of them and expected Inuyasha to explain the rest of their duties when she woke up. Inuyasha sat in the armchair with his sword held in the crook of his arm. All was silent until Kagome started to stir awake. Inuyasha knew better than to speak and startle her, so he stayed silent.

'Uhh... what happened?' Kagome thought to herself. She started to lift herself from the bed and slowly opened her eyes. After she took in her surroundings, everything that had happened only hours ago rushed to memory. She became more alert especially when her senses kicked in. Her 'ability' that was rare in humans was alerting her. She looked around the room a little closer and when her eyes became adjusted to the lighting, she nearly panicked at what she saw.

'It's that half vampire! The one that kidnapped me! Oh no... they don't seriously think that I will let myself be impregnated! Crap! What am I going to do?' Kagome's eyes darted back and forth in the room, looking for an exit. Until her gaze locked with that of a golden one did she let a small sound of panic escape her mouth.

Inuyasha looked at her questioningly as if she would faint again, but still didn't speak. Kagome broke the connection with their eyes and searched around the room once again. Her eyes came across a door with light coming out from the bottom. 'I have to get out of here... if I could somehow get to the door and run from him. Well... here goes nothing.'

Kagome looked at Inuyasha once more to make sure he wasn't aware of her actions and jumped from the bed. She felt unsteady on her feet but put whatever balance she had together and ran towards the door. The light beneath the wood door came closer and closer... she was near freedom... that was until Inuyasha quickly interfered. Once he saw her glance at the door, he knew what she would pull. She leapt up and he followed suit, but because he was half vampire, he made it to the door quicker and blocked her exit.

Kagome stopped quickly once Inuyasha stood before her, and fell backwards when she lost her balance. Sitting on her now sore butt, Kagome looked up at the looming figure above her. His expression was of amusement but it also showed one of uncertainty. He held out his hand to help her up, but when his hand came close, Kagome freaked out and started to back up. She scooted as far away from Inuyasha as she could.

As she was backing up she started to talk to Inuyasha in a very warning voice. "You better not come one step closer to me vampire! I swear if you even touch me I will kill you!"

Inuyasha's eyebrow started to twitch at this. "What are you talking about? I'm not going to hurt you... I don't want to go through with this either... so stop being a baby!"

"Oh yeah? So I'm just supposed to lye still and let myself be... be... well... raped?" Kagome yelled at him.

At this point, Inuyasha couldn't hold back his laughter. It all came out and Kagome started to get very frustrated. "Why are you laughing!?" she screamed.

Inuyasha waited until he stopped laughing to reply. "Let me get this straight... you thought you were brought here to give birth to a half vampire child?"

Kagome nodded her head and he continued. "First... calm down. Now... let's do some math. I am a half vampire, which means that one parent was human and the other was a full-blooded vampire. They made a half vampire, which is me. Now I am a half vampire and half human. You are a full-blooded human. Half of your chromosomes from your genes go to the child which will make it half human... but when my chromosomes come into play, it would get 25% human and 25% vampire. Therefore we would have a 75% human and 25% vampire child. Does that mean anything to you?"

(AN: That is what I remember from Biology last year... so if anyone is a DNA expert and knows for sure that this is wrong, please tell me. To me it makes sense... I hope it does to all of you!)

Kagome sat there on the floor in her original position with her hand to her chin. She pondered for a little until she looked at Inuyasha again and shook her head no. Inuyasha sighed loudly and put his hand to his forehead. He then tried explaining again. "This place only breeds half vampire, half human children." He motioned with his hand to see if she got the flow of his words but Kagome's expression was completely blank.

Collapsing to the floor, Inuyasha stared at the carpet for a few seconds before taking another breath. "Uhh... ok... if we were ever to... conceive children... then they wouldn't be half breeds. So in other words, you are not here to give birth to any vampire children."

That is when Kagome's face lit up with understanding. "Wow... I was so worried... I'm not ready to have kids! Thank god for that. Well... then what AM I here for?"

Disbelievingly, Inuyasha looked at Kagome then spoke. "Weren't you listening to anything that Thomas was saying?"

"Yeah," she replied. "He was talking about some kind of powers I have which are really rare."

"Well didn't that give you a hint at anything? Like that you would be using your sensing ability?"

"I never thought of that... I actually thought that that ability would be transferred to the child I would be forced to have."

"Stupid... that gift is only linked to humans. No one else can have it," Inuyasha told her smugly.

"Well I'm so sorry that I didn't know that! It would have helped before I found out about the pregnancy thing!" Kagome shouted as she stood up.

"But he said that it was a rare trait in HUMANS!"

"That could have more than one meaning! Anyways if you were in the same position that I was in, I'm sure you would have reacted the same way."

Inuyasha then looked at her weirdly. Exasperated, Kagome sighed to herself. "Nevermind..."

No one spoke for quite some time until the phone rang, startling Kagome. Inuyasha just looked at her unbelievingly and walked to the end table where the phone sat. He picked it up and when he put it to his ear, he didn't say anything. Wondering why he wasn't speaking, Kagome was about to voice herself, but just as quick as Inuyasha picked up the receiver, he placed it back down into its cradle. Kagome looked at him questioningly.

"Come on." Inuyasha informed her. "We got our assignment for tonight so let's go."

He headed to where his sword rest next to the armchair and quickly attached it to his belt.

His coat that was hung over the back of the other chair was quickly snatched up as it was thrown through the air and fitted over its owner. Inuyasha then opened the door immediately filling the room with fluorescent light. Kagome winced at the intensity and let her eyes adjust. She didn't really know what to do until she heard Inuyasha call out to her. "Come on girl! We don't have all day so don't just sit there looking all stupid and follow me!"

Deftly getting up, Kagome straightened herself up and ran out the door behind her partner. Little did Kagome know that soon after their arrival to the western part of the city, which was mostly woods, would Inuyasha just run off and leave her to fend for herself. It was fun for the half breed but for Kagome, it was hell. After Inuyasha's slaughter and Kagome's frustration all being brought out into the open, her reaction to everything was one Inuyasha would have never expected till later in their partnership.

~*~*~*~*~Back to the Clearing next to the Forest~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"You're what?!"

"I'm going home idiot! I don't want to be here! I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner! I should have just headed home once you ditched me!" Kagome yelled.

"But there is something you don't understand." Inuyasha started to say. "You can't go home... ever."

"Never my ass! I don't care who I am or what is happening! I am going home and you can't stop me!"

Inuyasha let out a very frustrated sigh. 'Yeah... I can't stop her. Who does she really think she is?'

Kagome then swiftly turned on her heel and started to walk home, her head held up high. Inuyasha gave another sigh and leaped into the air. He landed right in front of Kagome and stared right into her eyes. She stared back but her eyes wavered as she questioned what he was standing there for. In an instant, Inuyasha picked up his partner and threw her over his shoulder, only this time she was in a most conscious state.

"WHAT are you doing!?" Kagome screamed.

"I'm taking you back to headquarters. I can't let you go home so just stay still and shut up or I'll drop you."

"I'll scream all I want so don't tell me what to do!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and started to run back to the main building. As soon as they hit the major city, Inuyasha started to leap from the tops of the buildings. He was enjoying the wind through his hair and on his face, but Kagome was screaming her lungs out. When they finally landed in front of the corporations main doors, Kagome was now fighting fiercely. He didn't have any trouble holding the human girl, so he just walked inside with a kicking and screaming Kagome thrown over his shoulder. All attention was drawn towards them but Inuyasha ignored it. Every time he walked through those doors, something was going on that made everyone look at him. He ignored the stares he was getting and strolled towards the elevator doors while whistling.

Both walked through the doors when they opened or rather, one walked while the other just flailed their arms everywhere. Once inside, Inuyasha went to turn around to face the keypad when he suddenly heard a yelp of pain.

"Ouch! That was my head you idiot! Watch where you're turning! You know I AM still hanging off your shoulder! Or did you somehow forget? Wait!? Did you do that on purpose?!" Kagome rubbed her head while yelling at Inuyasha but when he didn't answer her, she started to pull his silvery hair.

"OW! Why are you ripping my hair out?" Inuyasha shouted at her.

Kagome was starting to get frustrated. "Weren't you listening to a word I was saying?!"

"No."

"Let me down you..." but she wasn't able finish. Unemotionally, Inuyasha dropped his arm that was holding Kagome's legs down and leaned a little. She slid off his shoulder and fell unceremoniously to the ground. Landing on her butt, she sat there wincing in pain. "Why did you do that?! That hurt you know!" She looked at him cynically hoping to make him feel her anger, but he was staring at the digital display for the floors.

Nonchalantly he spoke, "You told me to let you down... so I let you go... you're down now... aren't you? So don't complain."

"But I was dropped! That makes a big difference!"

Her partner didn't react to her words at all, but kept starting at the elevator display. The final sounding of their destination went off and the silver doors opened. Inuyasha walked out of them and started to make his way towards their quarters. Kagome was infuriated now, especially since he walked away like that. She got up and ran out of the elevator after him. Putting his hand on a scanner next to a door, the light above the frame turned green and slid open. He walked in and Kagome followed suit, not even aware of what she was doing.

"Aren't you even going to apologize?" she questioned him.

Suddenly the door behind her closed shut and the light turned red. She froze in place and looked at her surroundings. She realized what she had done and sank to the floor. Her anger had blinded her so much; she didn't even realize that she was in the place that she wanted to be the least. "This must be against the law... you're holding me against my will..." she spoke disbelievingly.

Then Inuyasha said, "Actually, the law won't help you. The law can't get us here... well from what Thomas has told me, we are older than law itself so we know how to get by it. Anyways, you wouldn't be able to get them to help you. They wouldn't know what the heck you were talking about... who knows? They would probably put you in a mental institution."

"I won't just give up. I will get out of here and go back home!"

"Yeah yeah..." Inuyasha was yawning. "Well whatever you do... just stop yelling and get some sleep. My door that is connected to the bathroom locks until morning as a safety precaution. Only you can open it... well... good night."

With that, he walked through the conjoining bathroom, into his own room, and shut the door. She then heard it automatically lock and sighed to release much of her tension. Tomorrow was another day... right? Until then, she was going to get some sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

AN to Anandria: I think you got confused in the last chapter with my '_' and my "_". I'm sorry if you didn't know what each was but I thought that it was common knowledge to know that one meant thoughts and the other was speaking. I did look back at the last chapter and found that I used '_' when Kagome was thinking. So I hope you aren't confused anymore on that. It makes a big difference when you mistaken quotation marks when reading. Hope that is all clarified. And about some of the other things you said... well you're right. Never did think of a vampire woman giving birth to a half breed from a human man... but the corporation is out to kill vampires. Why would a vampire volunteer to give birth to a child when they will be killed anyways? About the sun... yeah... I'm not going to get that in detail though. Thanks for thinking that hard on the matter though. Lol... thanks for reading and reviewing!

OK! I am SO sorry for the really long wait! School has been in session and everyone knows what that means. Everyone please don't forget to review!
