Mmmmm… spaghetti at 8:30 am…. Mmmmmm….

Oh! Hey there! Thanks so much for your reviews! I love you guys! Well, got a good idea for this chappy. And in case you all were wondering.. Yes, I used to have a bull ring. I was employed at a hospital and they made me take it out though… Even when I got a clear barbell and ring. They still wanted me to take it out. I miss it, but as much as it hurt when I got it done.. It's a little unappealing to me now.. LOL.. Anyways.. On with the show! (I guess.. Whatever.. Lol)

Disclaimer: still no rights to Inuyasha… *cries and wipes away tears*

Enter Koga

"Miroku! You asshole!" yelled Sango, not that far off from where Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting. Snapping them both out of the moment to turn and see Sango and Miroku.

Miroku had a large handprint on his cheek, and an embarrassed look on his face. Sango looked highly pissed and embarrassed. They were caught watching their friends. Hoping that they would kiss, that Inuyasha would maybe get over Kikyo, and Kagome could find someone that was right for her. They felt it, and they knew he and Kagome did as well, but Miroku had to screw things up and be a pervert about everything.

"Let's go." muttered Inuyasha getting up from the bench where he and Kagome were sitting. He pushed between Miroku and Sango who followed him.

Kagome got up from the bench, her feet and heart feeling a little heavy, and went to the Navigator and got in. They basically rode in silence back to Inuyasha's and Kagome's. Inuyasha threw a hand up in the air and walked into the dark stone castle.

"He's really mad at you and me right now." said Miroku to Sango.

She could tell they felt bad for ruining what was to be Kagome and Inuyasha's first kiss. They apologized to her for Inuyasha, and them eavesdropping, they were only curious because they wanted them to be happy. Kagome accepted, and told Sango to call her sometime tomorrow afternoon, and went into the lonely Victorian home. She went up stairs, grabbed her phone, and a towel. She undressed and slipped on her robe and went downstairs to try out the hot tub.

She called up her best friend Eri, and talked to her for about an hour. Told her about the house, her car, her new friends, and her new love interest.

"Sometimes, though, as bad as it sounds. I wish there was a way to control his anger. He gets angry so easily. We were at each others throat when we first met, and we almost kissed up at Reseda and Mullhuolland. Does that make sense?" Kagome asked her friend. Laughing at the idiocy of it all.

"You're a crazy one, I always told you so. Well, look. I have to be to work at 8 am. And it's 3am now. I need to get some sleep."

"OH MAN! I forgot all about the time difference. I wouldn't have called if I had realized it! I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry.. I'll get you back sometime. You know I will. Well, love ya sis. I miss ya."

"Miss and love ya, too sis." Kagome said, and with that she hung up the phone. She set the phone on the stone behind her head and dipped her head under the water. She came back up and decided she better get out before she turned into a prune. She dried herself off and covered up in the robe quickly. Feeling like someone was there seeing her naked. She put the towel around her shoulders, grabbed the phone and went inside.

The phone started to ring as she entered her room. 'whose calling me at this time of night?' she wondered as she pressed the talk button.

"Hello?"

"Um, hey, Kagome?" said a familiar voice.

"Yeah."

"It's me, Inuyasha, I was wondering. Do you thing I could come by?"

"Yeah. Sure. I'll wait for you on the porch."

"okay, well, see you in a little bit."

"okay." she said hanging up.

She wandered into the bathroom took a quick shower and dressed in her flame lounge pants and a black tank top that read 'punk is pretty' across it, then went downstairs to meet Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was waiting for her on the porch. Unable to get the sight of her getting out of the hot tub. He wasn't being a pervert. He was just restless and wanted to talk to Kagome. He felt bad for not saying goodbye to her. He felt like an ass. When he first got to her house, he heard her in the hot tub talking on the phone. He didn't know she was naked until she got out and dried off.

"Hey." Kagome said opening the door seeing Inuyasha already there.

"Hey. Sorry I'm bothering you, but I just feel bad."

"For what?"

"Not saying goodbye."

"Oh ok. Wanna come inside? It is kinda chilly out tonight."

"Yeah. Good idea."

He walked inside and followed her up into her room. Kagome went and sat down comfortably on the bed. 'she is always so pretty, always smells so good.' he thought watching her as he made his way over to her and sat at the end of the bed.

"You can sit up here, it is a big enough bed." she laughed.

"Oh. Okay. I came to tell you something." he said moving to sit next to her on the other side of the bed.

"What's up?" she asked curiously.

"Um. I feel I need to tell you this," he began taking his hat off. He had changed his clothes and was just in a pair of old baggy blue jean shorts and a Misfits tee, "I have only told Sango, Miroku, and my ex Kikyo this. I'm a Hanyou. In Japanese it means half human, half demon. My father and brother are youaki's, full demons. I'm half human and half dog-demon."

"Is that why you have dog ears?" she asked curiously.

"Yeah." he said looking down.

"Okay, that's cool. I'm a chick with a bull ring. I don't mind. Actually, I was kind of wondering why you had dog ears. Even though they are adorable!" she said happy that he had confided in her.

He was shocked that she took that so well, and looked at her with wide eyes. "Y-y-y-you don't care?" he finally managed to spit out.

"Why should I? I think it's sort of neat. My mother and father were from Japan and my grandfather would tell me stories about Demon's and such when I was younger. My mom always told him to stop filling my head with nonsense. He told me one day I would meet one. I didn't believe him. I never thought I'd be so lax about it though." she explained.

Inuyasha looked at her amazed. When he told Kikyo she kind of freaked out. He never took his hat off around her, even after she knew. She was a little ashamed of him because of it, and here she was not having a problem. She wanted him to find a way for him to be full human, and said that even when he asked her to marry him.

"Are you okay?" Kagome asked looking at how much his face had changed.

"Yeah. I am. I was just thinking about something." he said looking back up at Kagome.

"Tell me about Kikyo. Sango did a little, but not much. But if you can't talk about her just yet. I understand. " she said, her blue eyes filled with curiosity and sadness for him.

He thought a moment about what she had just said, then decided to tell her about Kikyo. He was pained in telling it, but he had to get it out. She hugged him when he was through. He felt so bad, and deeply hurt by her.

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry." she said sadly, then yawned.

After a long pause, they talked about everything it seemed, into the wee hours of the morning.

"I will always be there to protect you." he whispered and kissed her forehead after she had fallen asleep, then he too, fell asleep his arms tightly around her waist.

Kagome woke up the next day with strong arms around her waist and facing Inuyasha. 'what happened last night?' she thought then remembered. She felt so safe with him. He looked so peaceful and happy while he was asleep, and she couldn't help but giggle a little every time his ears twitched. He began to stir and saw Kagome in his arms looking at him, with a smile on her face.

"good morning." she said quietly.

"morning." he said smiling back.

"I want to tell you something." she said looking a little embarrassed.

"What is that?" he asked.

"I wanted to tell you that-", she began as the phone interrupted her. "hold on."

"hello?" she said answering the phone on her night table.

"Hey. I think I found a guitarist for our band." Sango said excitedly.

"Really? Who?" Kagome asked sitting up.

"It's a guy named Koga. He lives in the Valley, Granada Hills area."

"Okay, cool. Umm. Let me call you back. Okay?"

"Well, actually. He's here with me now. He wants to meet you and play for you. To see if you like how he plays."

"Um. Well, give me about an hour. I have to get dressed. I just woke up."

"Okay. Well, we'll be here. Talk to you later."

"okay." Kagome said hanging up the phone and turning back to Inuyasha.

"She already found a guitarist."

"I heard."

"Want to come to Sango's with me?" she asked.

"I guess."

"I'm going to change. Do you want to go by your house so you can change?"

"I'm fine. You go change."

"Okay." she said getting up and going to her closet. She pulled out a pair of baggy Camouflage shorts, and a black fitted tee with Ash from Evil Dead on the front of it holding an axe. She changed behind the on closed door of her closet, leaving her PJ's on the floor. She grabbed a pair of socks and put on her doc martins.

They got to Sango's house, earlier than she expected. She took her bass and amp along just in case. Sango and a tall, tanned guy, with a long black fanned Mohawk outside waiting for them. As they got out of Kagome's explorer, she heard Inuyasha begin to growl.

"Hey mutt-face." the guy said.

"Wimpy wolf. What are you doing here?" he growled at him.

"I came to start a band with Sango and this beautiful girl here of course." he said back.

Inuyasha continued to growl at him. While Sango walked to Kagome, and introduced her to the tall guy who she had already figured out was Koga. They went inside and Koga played for them. They went to the basement of Sango's house which was made up like a studio for him to play for them. He was a really good guitarist, and they decided they would try a song or two. They all seemed to play together pretty good. Sango and Kagome decided to let him join their band.

"Why are you letting this smelly, wimpy wolf join your band?!" Inuyasha said with anger in his voice.

"What? Are you jealous of my talent?" Koga said putting his hand on Kagome's shoulder.

"Get your hand off of her!" he said through clenched teeth.

"Make me." Koga said inviting him to throw a punch.

"Kagome. Get out of the way. They are probably going to fight!" said Sango grabbing her hand and pulling her to the side.

"What?!" Kagome asked confused allowing Sango to pull her to the wall.

Koga and Inuyasha went at each other, punching, kicking, and screaming obscenities.

Kagome got pissed off, 'what right does he have to fight like this in Sango's house with their new member?'

"Inuyasha! SIT DOWN!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Inuyasha was on top of Koga punching his face over and over, when the rosary around his neck suddenly glowed and pushed him face first into the floor of the basement, which was slightly cushioned by Koga's stomach.

After recovering from being slammed into Koga's stomach and basement floor, Inuyasha stared at Kagome. As did Sango, and Koga.

'she activated the necklace around my neck.' he thought suddenly a little scared of her.

Kagome's eyes were wide. 'What just happened?' she thought puzzled, looking at Sango, Koga, and finally Inuyasha. Who's eyes looked a little spooked.

Inuyasha: Dammit! She fucking SAT ME!

*giggle* sorry?

Inuyasha: How could you do that to me? Especially in the middle of fighting Koga. I thought you loved me.

I do, but it's funny when you get sat. *giggle*

Inuyasha: I'm going to get you back for that.

Do I really have to threaten you with Kagome again? I will bring her into this.

Inuyasha: no, being sat once is more then enough.

Okay then.. *smiles innocently at Inuyasha*

Inuyasha: gods help me.

That is all for now. Let me know what you think! R&R! I love my review alerts. They make me feel loved. J Till next time! I love you all!
