Chapter 3: The Bodyguard

Once again to be awakening by the sound of a knock on the door, she mumbled into her pillow. "Go away…"

Not hearing her, Kaede opened the door and walked into her room, over to the window and then opened the blinds, making the bright, and morning sunlight spill into Kagome's room.

She groaned somewhere in the midst of her pillow and turned on her back, with the blankets over her face.

"Now, now Kagome, your new body guard is here." Kaede said softly, walking over to her bed and sitting down. She gently shook the young girl, and got another moan to creep out from under the covers.

Huffing, Kaede stood up. "Kagome Higurashi. Your new body guard is here, now get UP!" she said loudly, standing at the end of the bed and pulling all of the blankets off at once, making Kagome turn back on her side and curl up into a fetal position.

Kaede laughed at this, and so did Kagome. Kaede didn't have a mean bone in her body, and seeing her trying to act like she did was very, very funny.

Grunting, Kagome finally sat up and stretched her arms over her back. She remembered everything from yesterday, but tried to hide it. So, she refused to cry. She also remembered how angry she was at her grandfather for hiring a body guard, and that hasn't changed.

Setting a cold expression on her face, she got up and went to take a shower. "I will meet you downstairs, Kaede." Kagome said, stepping into the bathroom.

Kaede bowed and left Kagome by herself.

After a quick shower, she sprayed on her usual fragrance and got dressed in a black pair of low cut jeans, and a pink quarter sleeved V neck blouse. Again, she chose to wear her hair up, this time in a pony tail with two strands of hair on either side of her face.

Then, after a touch of make-up, she was ready to head downstairs.

She could sense that he was a half demon by the time she got to the top of the three sets of stairs, and remembered what her grandfather had said last night and rolled her eyes.

"And she is allergic to onions – Oh well here she is now!" Senshii said, looking at her from the stairs.

The bodyguards back was to her, so she couldn't see his face. All she could see was his silver hair, and two cute little dog ears on his head.

'How kawaii!' she thought to herself, as she continued down the stairs.

When she was about two feet away, the hanyou turned around. His breath caught in his throat at the sight before him. 'Wow…She's even better looking in person. And MUCH better looking then that damn body double…' he thought, looking her over.

She saw that he was checking her out, and sent angry vibes to him, despite how fast he was making her heart go. 'Those eyes…And wow, those muscles' she thought, as he was wearing a skin tight red shirt, and a pair of tight jeans that showed off his fine toned butt.

Feeling the vibes, his ears lay flat for only a second, and then he smirked. Kagome didn't like this smirk. It made him look too full of himself.

"Grandfather, I take it that this is the body guard, you have chosen for me?" she asked, a hint of sarcasm to her voice.

The body guard growled deep in his throat, staring Kagome in the eye. She stared right back, making him very aware she didn't want him there.

Senshii chuckled nervously and walked up to them. "Kagome, dear, this is Inuyasha Taiyo. Inuyasha, this is my granddaughter, Kagome." He said warmly, looking from one to the other.

Inuyasha held out his hand, and Kagome looked at it for a few seconds before taking it. She didn't like him.

"Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Higurashi," Inuyasha said. "I was hired by your grandfather to pretty much follow you around and watch your every move…" he said with the same hint of sarcasm she had had.

Kagome glared at him, and the glint in his eye made her feel uneasy. "I see. You work for Suzuka Corp. right?" she asked. He nodded.

Suzuka Corp. is the most highly known and respective security company in the country. It was also very high priced, but Kagome could care less. She just wanted her grandfather to know he was over reacting…

Inuyasha put his cocky smirk back on that handsome face of his and bowed in Senshii's direction. "Is there any schedules I need to be informed of?" he asked in a business like manner.

Senshii looked at Kagome and almost shuddered under her gaze. "Kagome has another costume fitting this afternoon. The driver will be taking the both of you so you won't have to worry about how to get there. You will be leaving around 11:30 which will be in a little over an hour so I will let you two get to know each other until then." He said, bowing to the both of them. Kagome bowed in return, but rather stiffly. Senshii smiled at her stubbornness and turned to leave.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and looked her over once more. Kagome saw this and rolled her eyes.

Both were thinking two entirely different things…

'Kami this is going to be a long day…' thought Kagome.

'It's a shame I have to kill such a beautiful woman…' thought Inuyasha, with that oh-so-clever smirk playing on his slightly parted lips…
