Long Claw of the Law (hey, that rhymes! ^-^)

******************

"HE DID WHAT?!?!?!?!?" everybody in the car, except Kagome, screamed.

Kara swerved onto the side of the highway and stopped the car, leaving skid marks on the street and the smell of burning rubber in the air. Crammed inside the car were herself, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Inu-Yasha.

"He felt you up?!" Inu-Yasha screamed in rage.

"It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't been smiling the entire time." Kagome growled half to herself.

"That's it!" Inu-Yasha shouted. "Kara, turn this piece of shit around. I'm gonna go strangle that bastard."

"One," Miroku started, hoping to restore the peace somewhat, "please stop shouting, Inu-Yasha. We're right in the same car with you, and, I can assure you, we can hear you just fine. Second, I don't think you can exactly turn around on a major highway. And third, while, for all intents and purposes, the bastard at the customs booth does deserve to die, that would get you arrested."

"What am I supposed to do?!" Inu-Yasha snarled. "Let that pervert get away with touching my girlfriend? I don't think so!"

"Can we please just shut up!" Kagome screamed.

Up till then, Sango and Kara had remained quiet, content to listen to the fighting and somehow formulate a plan. Unfortunately, their formulations were coming a bit late to be useful to anybody. At that exact moment, a man came to the passenger's side door and knocked on the window.

"Excuse me, is there a problem?"

The group inside the car almost died of simultaneous heart attacks at the sudden appearance of the man. Kagome rolled down her window. She noticed the man had a police officer's uniform on.

"No officer, we're all fine." she said.

"Just an argument." Sango assured him.

"This is NOT just an argument!" Inu-Yasha screamed. He had yet to actually see the officer that stood outside Kagome's door.

"Yes, it is, Inu-Yasha." Kara stated firmly. "Sorry officer. We're just getting back from the airport. My friends were on an all night flight from Japan and today they got caught up at customs and are a little cranky right now."

"I understand."

"No, you don't!" Inu-Yasha screamed. "That bastard felt Kagome up!"

"Inu-Yasha, would you mind NOT SCREAMING IN MY EARS!" Sango screamed at him.

Kara rubbed her temples. She could feel a migraine coming.

"May I ask what he's talking about?" the officer inquired. This was the most comical bunch of crazy people he had ever seen.

Kagome answered him. "I got pulled for a 'random check' and the creep felt me up. It would've been fine, except he was smiling the entire time."

The officer looked a bit surprised. "Miss, that's sexual harassment, a federal offence. He could get jail time for that. Give me his name and the number of the place you'll be staying at and I can look into it for you."

"Sure."

Kara handed Kagome a piece of paper with the hotel's phone number on it. Kagome scribbled Kouga's name along with hers and handed it to the officer.

"Thank you sir." Kagome called as he returned to his car.

He barely nodded and was off.

The rest of the car ride was silent other than the occasional sound of Miroku getting slapped when he put his hand on Sango's thigh.

********************

They arrived at Kara's house at about six o'clock. There they met Jason, Kara's fiancé.

As Jason went to the door to answer it, he recalled a conversation he and Kara had had earlier when they were discussing their guests.

"Jason, Inu-Yasha is, let's say, a little odd."

"Kara, trust me, I do odd every day."

"No. Inu-Yasha is different. I seriously doubt you've ever dealt with anybody like him before."

"What do you mean, dear?"

"He's really aloof and, well, a half-demon."

"A what!?"

Jason opened the door and was greeted by Kara and the others. Among the group, he spotted the half-demon he had been told about.

"Okay, Kara, if you say so."

"I just wanted to give you a heads up, so when you see him he won't freak you out. Just to let you know he's got a pair of dog ears that sit right on top of his head, instead of normal human ears."

"Honey, that's not odd... THAT'S FREAKY!"

As politely as he could he greeted them all and tried not to stare at Inu-Yasha's ears.

"Hello, I'm Jason. Kara's told me all about you."

"All lies, I'm sure." one of the two men laughed while he shook Jason's hand. He had his hair pulled up into a ponytail.

"Miroku, I only tell the truth." Kara joked.

"Like that's much better." on of the girls stated dryly. Jason looked over at her.

"Oh, stupid me!" Kara said smacking her forehead. "I forgot to introduce them. This is Miroku," she said pointing to the man with the ponytail. "This is Sango," she said pointing to the girl that had just spoken. She politely shook his hand "That is Inu-Yasha," she said pointing to the man with the silver hair and dog ears.

He nodded at Jason. The girl that had yet to be introduced smacked his arm.

"Be more polite, Inu-Yasha!" she ordered. "His family is paying for our rooms."

Inu-Yasha eyed her wearily and shook Jason's hand.

"I'm Kagome. Welcome to the family." she said very politely while she shook his hand.

"Well, I should probably drive you to the hotel now." Kara said. "I just wanted you to meet Jason before tomorrow."

"Ya, we gotta unpack." Kagome said.

"It was nice meeting you," Miroku called as they went out the door.

"I'll see you all tomorrow, then!" he called out the door.

My notes:

Hi! Sorry I took so long to update. I got bogged down with homework for the last couple of days.

Oh well, I'm here now so I'll make the best of it. I know I said this chapter would get a little more to the point, but it hasn't. The next one will. I promise!

Thanx to my reviewers. I really appreciate it.
