Chapter 2

He had been watching her all night observing everything about her from the way she moved to the way she looked. He couldn't help but notice the customers looking at her in the same way he was, and it thoroughly pissed him off. He figured that this sudden protectiveness occurred some time last night. The damn girl had even made him soup, which was quite delectable might he add, only adding on to the guilt hanging over his head. He had been trying to apologize all night but she had let him get anywhere close to her, probably doing him the favor. He didn't know how to really apologize to some one. Even if he was given the opportunity that he desired he would most likely blotch it up like always for he was never good with words.

Inuyasha glanced towards Miroku who was serving drinks next to him acting quite strangely towards him. They hadn't spoken much to each other since work started and now their shift was ending and Inuyasha was beginning to wonder how long this silent treatment would last. "Hey Miroku," Inuyasha yelled over the music gaining his friends attention. "What the fuck is wrong with you man you've been too fucking quiet since fucking work began?"... See what I mean when I said he was never good with words. He always had a tendency to be to blunt with people, never caring if they approved of his perverse language.

"I don't want to talk about it here Inuyasha." Miroku yelled back calmly serving another costumer; he was used to it by now. Inuyasha decided to take his word for it; they would talk about it later, but couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy by Miroku serious tone. He felt like a child waiting to be reprehended for the bad things he done, but for the life of him he couldn't remember doing anything like that to Miroku. Inuyasha looked back up to the stage to watch Kagome some more but in its stead found an abandoned stage. "Fuck," he growled to himself nearly breaking a bottle of liquor in his hand. She was out in the crowd now, dancing with disgusting men that would only be paying to grope her. He had the sudden urge to jump over the bar and drag her out of there, but managed to sustain his urges to do so. He had to keep himself from looking for her in the crowd knowing that if he did that would be his breaking point. If he saw her in the crowd dancing with some dirty man he would go in there personally a fetch her as if she were a child.

He silently thanked god that his shift was over for the night. And today Miroku shift ended early as well meaning they would be able to leave together. That would give them time to talk about what was upsetting Miroku so much. Inuyasha followed his best freidn silently into the employee lounge to get there things and be on there way. Upon walking in Inuyasha had not expected to be so roughly slammed into the wall. Inuyasha almost attacked the offender until he realized who it was and managed to control his raising temper. "What... the hell... was that for?" Inuyasha seethed between tightly clenched teeth. He had expected for Miroku to back down knowing that Inuyasha was in no mood for the lechers lash out, but Miroku deciding to be rebellious today only tightened he grip on Inuyasha's collar and pushed him harder against the wall.

"I warned you yesterday Inuyasha about those stupid comments of yours but like always you never fucking listen." Miroku retorted trying to make his voice match Inuyasha's.

"What the hell are you talking about Miroku? I didn't fucking say anything cruel to her quite the opposite actually." Inuyasha pushed his friend away from him causing him to fall to the floor. He wasn't going to have the lecher chastise him when he was doing enough of that all by himself. He truthfully had tried to keep his promise to Miroku, even discovered he had other feelings for her besides contempt. The only thing he did wrong was to insult her in the first place.

"I saw her leave you apartment in tears yesterday so don't fucking try to lie to me Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sighed dejected running rough a hand through his silver tresses before speaking again. "Look Miroku I kept my fucking promise to you, okay. I didn't say anything to offend the wench when she took me home. Although I didn't say anything bad to her that night I found out that she heard me all the other times I did."

"Did you at least apologize?"

"I tried to but I couldn't find the fucking words, still can't." Inuyasha turned his head to the door not being able to face Miroku.

"You know... she almost got her ass fired." Inuyasha whipped he head back to Miroku who had a sly smile etched on his face. "And it's your fault."

"How the hell is it my fault, and how the hell do you know this?"

"You remember when I had to go to the boss's office to tell him about the broken ice machine. Well when I got there he was yelling at someone. I couldn't tell who it was because he had the door closed but I stayed behind the door listening anyways. He was threatening to fire said person for skipping their shift yesterday without telling him. The person had to beg for another opportunity and he reluctantly gave it but they had their consequences. I almost chuckled at the person's stupidity to just leave work like that until Kagome came out of the room crying." Inuyasha almost collapsed to the floor in shock. He couldn't believe she had done that; risk her job just to help him. Everything about this girl confused him. She had known about him insulting her yet she still offered to take him home missing her shift. She had done all this for him and received no thank you. 'This girl must be fucking insane.' Inuyasha thought silently to himself. 'Well it's not doubt that I have to make it up to her now but how the hell am I suppose to do that,' Inuyasha further contemplated to himself not noticing that Miroku had left the him alone in the lounge with a huge grin plastered on his face. 'I'm a great cupid if I do say so myself. They'll be wild in love with each other in a matter of days. I knew it was a good idea to make Inuyasha feel even guiltier. At the rate he was going he would have never apologized. Knowing Inuyasha he'll do anything possible to redeem himself of thisand in the process they should steal each others hearts away. It's perfect since he needs a good reason to dump the stupid bitch he's with anyways what better than this, besides this should be very interesting to watch.' Miroku thought to himself as he left the club heading towards his home. 'Yes very interesting in deed.'

Meanwhile Inuyasha was pacing a whole into the lounge floor completely unaware of the lecher's absence. He would have continued if it were for a very familiar voice bringing him out of his reverie. "Okay Inuyasha you're making me very dizzy. If you don't stop I'll stain you shirt like you did mine." Inuyasha immediately stopped looking up to those beautiful orbs of hers; they were a light hazel mixed with small freckles of green.

"I... Kagome I..." Inuyasha stuttered trying to find his apology, the one that he had been ruthless rehearsing in his head before she had spoken to him. "Let me rehearse this some more." He stated quickly before turning his back to her mumbled his once forgotten apology to himself. "Okay I remember it now." He told her cheerfully but before he could get around to saying it she burst out into laughter. It took a while before the bemused Inuyasha realized what she was laughing at. "Do you laugh at everyone who tries to apologize to you wench?" He scorned only regretting it when she started to laugh harder.

"No... I don't." She stated between fits of laughter.

"Then what's so funny about my apologies." He snapped folding his arms in front of his chest impatiently waiting for her to calm herself enough so that she could speak to him, and she did... eventually.

"It's just the way you went about doing it, rehearsing it right before you told it to me."

"What's so funny about that? I forgot it. Your being fucking ungrateful I don't apologize often so you should take advantage that I am willing to do it for you."

"I'm touched really." She replied cheekily earning herself a scoff. "Please don't let me interrupt you from your heart felt apology." She giggled while taking a seat on the couch.

"You already did wench," Inuyasha snapped but continued with his apology anyways. "First of all I would like to say thank you for all that you fucking did for me yesterday, although I did not ask for your assistance."

"But you needed it."

"Shut up and let me continue. As I was saying, I did now ask for your assistance yet you help me anyways I fucking appreciate it. I would also like to say..."

"Yes..."

"Well, I just was wanted to let you know that I'm..." He was finding immensely difficult to actually say the god damn words. He had never actually said them before and this was a serious burn to his pride, and her cheekiness wasn't helping. She was enjoying his staggered state a little too much.

"You're..."

"GOD DAMN IT I'M SORRY I INSULTED YOU ALL THOSE TIMES. I NEVER MEANT WHAT I SAID!" He yelled finally getting it over with. He stood straight expecting her to at least be a little bit emotional over his apology. After all it was hard for him to do.

"Well that's the loudest apology I have ever heard. I think you ruptured my ear drum." Kagome replied rubbing her ears tenderly.

"That's it that's all you have to say about my apology after I busted my balls trying to say it!"

"Well it was a really loud apology you should hear it from my point of view."

"I can't believe this." Inuyasha threw his hands up in the air in frustration, and turned his back to her childishly.

"Oh Inuyasha I was only teasing you. I forgive you of course." Kagome said as she made her way towards him, walking around him so that they could face each other. He still immaturely refused to look at her in the eyes as he pouted.

"That was really hard for me to do you know." He sulked.

"Yes I know, and it was the best god damn apology I have ever heard."

"You're just saying that to make me feel better."

"Of course I am but I seriously do forgive you." She replied pinching his nose playfully. Inuyasha arms slid around her waist pulling her against him. He already was beginning to love the feel of her against him.

"Don't treat me like a child." He protested unconsciously leaning his head closer to hers.

"Then don't act like one." She retorted playfully wrapping her arms around her neck, even she wasn't completely aware of what she was doing. It all just came naturally to her; as if being with him like this were the most natural thing in the world. They were now forehead to forehead as their noses played with one another's.

"I want to kiss you... so badly." He whispered huskily in desperation to feel those enticing red lips against him.

"I have to get to work." She giggled dodging his seeking lips teasing them with her own occasionally.

"Fuck... Do that later." He whined tightening his gripping hoping that she would feel how aroused she was making him. He didn't expect for her to actually push him away, but she did and quite roughly for that matter.

"Inuyasha what the hell is wrong with you?" She yelled to him her eyes fiercely burning into his own asking him a question he did not know how to answer.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question," he stated blunt crossing him arms over his chest, his nonchalance during the situation only adding to her rage.

"You want to know what's wrong with me fine I'll tell you. What wrong with me is the way you treating me. One minute I'm a whore and the other..."

"Hey I apologized for that." Inuyasha interrupted her lamely trying to defend himself, "and if I remember it correctly you forgave me."

"I forgave you, yes, give you permission grope my body, no."

"I was not groping your body. If anything you were groping mine. I feel used."

"You were the one trying to kiss me!"

"But you were the one teasing me, that's just as bad. That's sending mixed signals."

"I was not sending you mixed signals."

"Yes you god damn were, tease."

"You like signals so much how about this for a signal." Kagome righteously raised her middle finger in the air while waving it around in his face. "Interpret that, you pompous ass."

"Okay I interpret that you want to stick that up yours." Inuyasha retorted trying to control his ire temper.

"Only in your fucking dreams,"

"Sorry to interrupt your lovers spat Kagome but you need to get to work. The drinks aren't going to serve themselves." Sango was the one to interrupt this time. She was actually enjoying herself watching them throw insult at each other, clueless of her presence. If she didn't have to get back to work she would have just stayed there and enjoy the show. Both Inuyasha and Kagome blushed furiously trying to conceal their obvious embarrassment by being caught. Kagome was about to leave when he stopped her.

"You serve drinks," he asked indecorously.

"Yeah, Sango and I take your place when your shift ends. I bartend until the club closes." Kagome told him not daring to look him straight in the eyes. "I'm sorry." She mumbled breathlessly half hoping he didn't hear her. Unlucky for her he did. Inuyasha lips tilted upwards in a cocky smirk. He leaned down slowly to lightly peck her cheek causing them to flush madly.

"Me too," he added letting her go so she could finish her shift. The minute she stepped threw the lounge doors Inuyasha's once cocky smile decreased to a very displeased frown. He hated the fact that she worked as a dancer in this god forsaken club now only to add on to his anger she was a bartender as well and she work until the club closed! 'What the hell is this girl super fucking woman? How the hell can she hand all this? Doesn't she realize it dangerous to be around clubs that early in the morning,' he asked himself as he made his way towards his boss's office. He knew that getting her to quit her job would take some time due to her obstinacy so in the mean time he would settle on protecting her as best as he could. With his decision being made he stepped into his brother's office.

"I want to work an extra shift." Inuyasha bellowed taking a seat before his brother's desk taking note the fact that he ignored his presence. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Were you trying to tell me something," his brother asked flatly not bothering to even look up from his computer.

"Don't pull that shit on me you heard me. I want another shift added. I'll leave when the club closes."

"Why the sudden interested to work long at the club. In our last conversation I distinctly remember the ... explicit language you used to describe this place."

"Well my views have changed."

"Now this ought to be interesting." Sesshoumaru said in his usual impassively tone, but he did have the courtesy to remove his attention from the computer. Inuyasha scowled at his brother's dry sarcasm.

"Well I've come to realize... that this place has many good qualities."

"One being..."

"Umm... Well... You know there's the... Oh the new..." Inuyasha let out a frustrated sigh. "Well if you going to put me on the spot I can't remember them all!" Inuyasha retorted trying to cover his fail attempt to name the clubs good points. Sesshoumaru chuckled lightly to himself, Inuyasha always found new ways to amuse him with his foolishness. He actually had a vacant spot that needed to be filled. He could have given him the shift the minute he stepped in demanding it, but his sadistic ways wouldn't allow him to do so.

"Wow... It's clear to me that you have so many, and I would love to help you, really Inuyasha, but I don't have any openings in the time area."

"Make some fucking openings. Fire some one!"

"Dear brother you not really suggesting I fire one of my hard working employees just to accommodate you."

"Damn straight that's what I'm suggesting, and I would like to be done by tomorrow."

"Can't be done, but I do apologize Inuyasha. Here have a chocolate," Sesshoumaru lifted a tray full of cheap minted chocolate, knowing that Inuyasha specially hated that type of chocolate. He wasn't disappointed but his reaction for Inuyasha grabbed the tray and three it like a Frisbee across the room.

"YOU POMPOUS ASS, I DON"T WANT YOUR GOD DAMN CHOCOLATE!I WANT THE GOD DAMNED JOB!"

"Well since you put it that way... done. Now leave me I have much work to do."

"That's it..." Inuyasha inquired indecorously, "you not going to fight me anymore about it."

"No. No purpose in doing so. You amused me enough for the time being. So you have the job you so dreadfully wanted, now leave me."

"You really are a fucking piece of work Sesshoumaru, I'm not you lab dog who's sole purpose in life is to entertain you."

"You right the lab would have done a much better job." Sesshoumaru returned he gaze back to the computer. Inuyasha opened is mouth to retaliate but quickly clamped it shut. He had the job he wanted, he could protect Kagome now. Fighting with his brother was pointless now. Inuyasha gather his bearings turned on his heel and left the room. He decided to wait for Kagome to finish her shift, for as he stated earlier it was dangerous for a woman like her to be alone at night. He headed to the back of the club knowing that she would leave through there because she always did to avoid the big crowd of perverted mean through the front.

Inuyasha waited four hours in that back alley for her to finally exit though those doors. And when she did his breath almost hitched in alarm, she looked more than just tired. He was amazed that she was still walking. 'How does she manage to do this every night?' he asked himself as he walked over to her. She didn't even notice him as he stood before her. "Kagome..." He whispered finally getting her attention. Her head shot up locking her dazed gaze is with his concerned ones. She wondered absently why he cared so much, but decided to brush it off. She didn't have the time, nor energy to deal with him.

"Not now please Inuyasha. I just want to get home." She walked past him in hopes he would take the hint, but she had no such luck for he reached out and grabbed her arm forcing her to turn around and face him. Her breath hitch thinking him incredibly sexy giving her that, don't you even think about contradicting me look as he turned his back to her and kneeled to the ground.

"Get on." Was all he said, and that was all it took. She collapsed onto his back hooking her arms around his neck while he hooked his arms under her legs hoisting her up from the ground. He could have gotten there in less then five minutes had he wanted to. He wouldn't even break a sweat while doing so, but he didn't. He took his time walking down the sidewalks with her firmly mounted on his back. He enjoyed the feel of her against him, too much for him to rush to get her home. It was an hour before they finally reached the door of her apartment conveniently located across from his. She had fallen asleep not two minutes into their walk. He didn't want to wake her, only knew he had to. "Kagome... Hey Kagome wake up we're here." He spoke shaking her half heartedly hoping she was a deep sleeper. It would only give him a reason to hold her longer. He had no such luck for she awoke almost instantly.

"We're here... So soon" She mumbled groggily as he gently released her so she could stand on her own.

"Feh if you call and hour soon then sure, that soon."

"It took you an hour to get here! Oh my gosh Inuyasha I'm so sorry."

"It's no problem. You don't weight that much anyways." He replied while waving off her concern.

"Well thank you anyways." Kagome said gratefully as she opened her door. She was about to step inside when Inuyasha stopped her by gently taking her small hand in his. He lightly pulled her towards him and she blankly followed completely confused by his actions. "What are you doing?"

"Biding you goodnight," he stated rather matter-of-factly. Before she could even think about protesting he brought his lips to hers. It took Kagome a couple of second to register the fact that he was kissing him and him waiting for her to respond, and she did. She did as if it were the most natural thing in the world, to be kissing him was just natural. Their lips caressed one another's with a chaste passion, and they were both content with that, content with the purity of their first kiss. After a couple of minutes the sweet kiss ended. Inuyasha rested his forehead against hers his lips only a breath away from her own. He smiled despite himself before caressing her blushing cheek with his free hand. "See you tomorrow." He stated only receiving a half hearted nod on her part. With one last peck on her lips he pulled completely away releasing her hand and disappeared into his apartment as she in hers.
