Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, never did, never will. Bottom line...Don't sue me!
This chapter is dedicated to amyfushigiyugi who has been kind enough to recommend me to a whole bunch of new reviewers. Amy-chan knows how addicted I am to reviews... LOL ^_^;; Thanks girl!

Kagome picked idly at a blade of grass before she plucked it out completely and added it to the accumulating mound to her side.
Classes were over for the day and she, Hojou and Yuka were sitting under the shade of a large oak tree on the school premises giving them a clear view of the soccer field in which Eri was making passes with her ball.
"...and then he told her 'It's over'. Just like that! In front of all those people!" Yuka was saying. "Sure, she doesn't have a very good fashion sense, wearing violet and orange together, I mean, I would never be caught dead wearing that color combination, but-"
Yuka stopped her babbling and watched Kagome yank another handful of grass from the ground. Then she glanced at the pile at Kagome's side. Her face darkened.
"Kagome-chan?" Yuka said in a sugar coated voice. "Have you been listening to a word of what I've said?"
Kagome looked up from her grass picking over to her friend.
"Uh?" was her intelligent answer.
"I thought so," said Yuka closing her eyes, her lips pressed together in a thin line. "Tell me Kagome-chan, did you know that by sticking a carrot in your mouth and jumping on one foot for 2 minutes your teeth whiten?"
"Umm...no?" Kagome said giving Yuka a weird look.
"Of course you didn't, Kagome-chan," Yuka said all too calmly.
Her eyes snapped open, her calm demure thrown into the wind. Kagome's only thought:
'Uh-oh...'
"BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!" Yuka bellowed.
Kagome squeaked and cowered behind a startled Hojou, who had been busily engrossed in his Physics book until Yuka's outburst disrupted the peace.
"Help," Kagome pleaded using Hojou as a human shield. "She's gone insane."
"Me? Insane? Do I look insane to you?" Yuka screeched wildly.
"Uh...At this very moment? Yes, yes you do," Kagome managed to say as she peeked over Hojou's shoulder at the gone-crazy girl.
"Who's gone insane?" asked Inuyasha as he walked towards them.
Yuka's face brightened instantly, the murderous aura that surrounded her vanishing immediately.
There was only one word to describe Yuka...Creepy.
"Nakamura-senpai! How nice to see you! Did you enjoy lunch today?" Yuka asked sweetly batting her eyelashes at him.
"Eh...it was ok..." he said distractedly wondering why Kagome was hiding behind that twerp reading the physics book. "Oi, Wench! You coming to Sengoku today?"
"Um...Well, I'm waiting for Eri to finish soccer practice and then we are going to Ayumi's to study. So, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it," Kagome said as she stood up from her crouching position behind Hojou still eyeing Yuka wearily.
Her friend was now staring at Inuyasha adoringly, ogling at the purple eyed young man as if he were some sort of divine being. Yep. Yuka had reverted into fan-mode. No need to worry about her friend strangling her to death when she was busy drooling over the jerk in front of her.
"Keh. I should have known that you'd try missing out on your duties," Inuyasha said ignoring the devoted attention the girl with the white head band was giving him.
"I'm not missing out on my duties! I already called Sesshoumaru and he told me it was fine," Kagome bristled.
"I bet he did. What better chance to get rid of you? Too bad it isn't permanent," Inuyasha said smirking at her.
"You--You're impossible!" Kagome yelled angrily, with a little stomp of her foot.
"Bitch," Inuyasha said fully enjoying the way her nose wrinkled and her face became red with fury. She looked really cute when she was mad.
He stiffened. Now where did that come from?
Inuyasha waved it off as the after affect of eating that packet of ramen. He should really stop eating the plastic wrappings...
"Jerk!" Kagome shouted. "How many times do I have to tell you I've got a name and it's neither 'Wench' nor 'Bitch'? Do I have to drill it into that thick skull of yours?!"
"Do whatever you want, wench," Inuyasha smirked watching as steam practically blew out of Kagome's ears. "Anyway, I just came by to tell you Sengoku will be quite busy with preparations for the upcoming race next week and we want you to help Shippou out."
Unexpectedly, Kagome's face broke out into a huge smile.
What was it with girls and their mood swings? It's like changing between the different personalities of Dr Jeckle and Mr. Hide. No, worse than that. Girls have more than two personalities.
"Oh my god! Sengoku is racing?! Oh wow! This is wonderful! Sure, I'll help Shippou!" Kagome said gleefully.
"Great," said Inuyasha flatly.
He turned round with every intention of walking away, but hesitated. A sudden urge took hold of him. He needed to know.
"How's your arm?"
"My arm?" Kagome said blinking in surprise. This was a first. Was Inuyasha actually asking about her well being? Could it be that he was concerned for her?
Kagome thought about it and came to a conclusion.
Nah...
"It's feeling better, thank you."
Inuyasha nodded and without another word began to walk away.
"Bye, Nakamura-senpai!" Yuka called after Inuyasha. "If you every need me to carry your books I'll be right here!"
"What happened to your arm?" Hojou who had been listening to the conversation asked with a worried frown.
"Oh, nothing really," Kagome lied. "I just accidentally cut it, that's all."
"Is it better now?" Hojou asked.
"Yeah. As good as new," Kagome smiled reassuringly at him.
She didn't like lying to her friends but she didn't want anyone to know about the horrible incident she'd experienced in that dark alley. No one knew. No one would ever know that she almost got raped...
She gulped back offending tears at the thought.
Inuyasha was the only one who knew more a less what happened that night and she had made him swear not to utter a word to anyone. For some reason she had a feeling that he would keep his promise.
"Nakamura-sempai is just sooo cute!" Yuka sighed as she watched Inuyasha's disappearing figure with dreamy eyes. "Since when did you and him become friends, Kagome?"
"We aren't friends," Kagome said huffily. "He just happened to end up as my boss at the place I'm working at. Go figure..."
"Fortune must be smiling your way," Yuka said cheerfully.
"Fortune...If these are the results I wish 'fortune' wouldn't smile so much," Kagome grumbled and turned to watch Eri score a goal.
***************************************************
"Moshi-moshi? This is Sengoku Jidai. How may I help you?" Kagome said pleasantly as she answered the phone.
"E.T phone hooooo~me," slurred an extraterrestrial voice over the line.
Kagome passed a hand over her face. Not him again!
"Look here mister-" she started saying.
"Helloooo, Sengoku hime~! Say hi to the geishas in the Feudal Era, will ya?"
"There are no geishas around-"
"Ya know. I want a panda. They're fluffy. And they fly!"
Kagome took a deep breath. Her patience was wearing thin.
"Sir?" she said tranquilly though her face was a storm.
"Yes babe?"
"Pandas don't fly. And - oh yeah... STOP CALLING!"
With that she slammed the receiver down, nearly braking it's cradle. Too bad it didn't. She felt like destroying something right now.
The phone rang again.
"Moshi-moshi? This is Sengoku Jidai. How may I help you?" Kagome said after she'd picked up the battered head piece.
"But then how did Mulan's panda fly?" came the annoying voice on the other side of the phone line.
"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGG!" Kagome screamed in frustration yanking the telephone cord out of it's place in the wall.
She then proceeded to dump the phone into the rubbish bin, giving it a look as if daring it to ring.
A howl of laughter met her ears.
"Shut up! It's not funny!" Kagome yelled throwing a paper weight at the chuckling man to her left.
The paper weight connected with her target's shoulder and the chuckling stopped immediately. Kagome sighed in relief.
"Does this happen often?" she asked Inuyasha who had picked up the paper weight she'd thrown at him and was now watching her amusedly.
"Only when you're here," he replied with a grin.
Kagome shot him a glare and then leaned back into Sesshoumaru's office chair.
It seemed that answering the phone line wasn't such a great job after all... Not after some drunken delusional baka kept calling you for the last half hour convinced that he'd gotten in touch with the Feudal Era.
She got up and walked over to the trophy shelf. Staring at it dumbly for a few seconds the same picture frame she had been examining the other day caught her attention once again.
"Hey, Inuyasha? Who is this guy next to Miroku?" she asked pointing to the person hidden behind the golden prize.
"None of your business," Inuyasha grunted.
"Aw, come on. You can tell me," Kagome prodded walking over to his desk and sitting on it's edge.
"Leave me alone," Inuyasha said trying to read the document he had at hand.
"Not until you tell me," Kagome said in a sing song voice poking his cheek with a pencil. "If you don't, I'll just have to bug the hell out of you."
"Just try, you won't get anywhere," Inuyasha growled snatching the pencil out of her hand.
"All right then," Kagome said and cleared her throat loudly. "Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination. When he's tall he's what we call, a dinosaur sensation! Barney teaches lots of things like how to play prete~end. ABC's and 1-2-3's and how to be a frie~end!"
Inuyasha kept on reading, trying (unsuccessfully might I add) to ignore Kagome's bothersome singing.
"...When he's tall he's what we call, a dinosaur sensation!"
Inuyasha's left eyebrow started to twitch.
"Barney teaches lots of things like how to play prete~end. A-B-C's and 1-2-3's and how to be a-"
The hold he had on his document began to tighten, crumpling the paper but he didn't notice.
"-frie~end! Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination. When he's tall he's what we call, a dinosaur sensation! Barney-"
"STOP IT! You're driving me nuts!" Inuyasha yelled ripping the document in half.
Kagome grinned slyly.
"Now will you tell me?" she asked innocently.
"Where did you learn that song? Are you some stinking Barney weirdo fan?" Inuyasha scoffed.
"Me? A Barney fan? As if! I learnt the song cause it to annoys other people, for example...oh I don't know...you. Souta always-HEY! Don't go changing the topic on me. Tell me who is that guy next to Miroku."
"No," Inuyasha said in a defying tone.
"Tell me or else I'll start singing," Kagome warned.
"No!" Inuyasha exclaimed placing a hand over her mouth.
Kagome bit his hand.
"Ow!" Inuyasha yelped letting her go. Kagome grabbed a folder from his desktop before he had a chance to stop her.
"Give that back!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Not until you tell me who that guy is!" Kagome said skipping over to the other side of the room.
"Those are important papers! Give them back!" Inuyasha demanded chasing after her.
Kagome laughed and ran around Sesshoumaru's desk with Inuyasha in hot pursuit.
"Get back here!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Never!" Kagome yelled back jumping out of the way as Inuyasha tried to grab hold of her.
With one loud battle cry Inuyasha leaped over his half-brother's desk and pounced on Kagome sending them both tumbling onto the floor.
"I would like my folder back now," Inuyasha said calmly looking down at the girl beneath him.
"No can do. Not until you tell me," Kagome said tauntingly stuffing the folder behind her back. Quite a difficult task to do when your back is pressed firmly against the floor and a heavy boy is straddling you.
"Fine! I'll tell you. The guy next to Miroku was Sengoku's original racer," Inuyasha said giving up, throwing his hands up in the air.
"Why did he leave?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Accident," was Inuyasha's straight answer.
"What accident?"
"Why do you ask so many damn questions?" Inuyasha countered.
"Why don't you answer them?" Kagome shot back.
"Because it's none of your fucking business!" Inuyasha said with a growl.
Kagome giggled.
"What?!" Inuyasha snapped in irritation.
"You look like an ill tempered dog," Kagome chirped happily.
Inuyasha's growl increased volume.
"You're crushing my folder you know," he told her.
"And it will keep on getting crushed until you answer my questions," Kagome said smiling up at him broadly.
"Damn bitch," Inuyasha grumbled.
Suddenly the little light bulb lit up in his head. He smirked down at her, a mischievous glint shinning in his eyes.
Before Kagome had a chance to register what was happening, Inuyasha's hands had shot out so fast she didn't even see them, his fingers working swiftly over the ticklish spot on her stomach, tickling her to kingdom come.
She did the only rational thing she could at the moment:
Laugh hysterically.
"St-top!" she wheezed between laughs.
"Will you surrender peacefully, give up the folder and quit bothering me?" Inuyasha asked still attacking her sides as she squirmed helplessly underneath him.
"N-no!"
"Then I'll continue my torture," Inuyasha said his voice void of any compassion for the raven haired girl.
"Ok! OK! I give!" Kagome surrendered.
Inuyasha smirked victoriously and stopped his tickling. Reluctantly Kagome handed him the more-than-a-little-bit crushed folder.
"It isn't fair. You were on top of me and I had no means of self defense. And you always fall on top of me," Kagome said making a face at him.
"You make it sound as if I'm some sort of magnet that throws itself at you," Inuyasha said getting to his feet and pulling her up with him.
"That's because you are," Kagome stated.
"Am not!" exclaimed Inuyasha, blushing red. "Any ways, the time in the library you were the one who brought me down on top of you."
"Only because you'd made me loose my balance," Kagome said crossing her arms in annoyance. "Anyway, explain to me what happened now."
"You were bugging me so I squashed you," Inuyasha answered indifferently.
"I'm not an insect!" Kagome complained indignantly.
"You could have fooled me," Inuyasha muttered loud enough for her to hear.
Kagome slapped him over the head.
"You're such an idiot! I'm going to check on Shippou," she told him angrily walking out of the room making sure she slammed the door shut extra loudly.
Shippou was where she thought she'd find him. Still photocopying in the little closet-sized room under the stairs leading up to the Sengoku apartment.
"Hi Kagome!" Shippou greeted happily.
"Hi Shippou. Finished yet?" she asked sitting on a little stool by the photocopying machine.
"Nope. I still have the whole racing rule book to do," Shippou said holding up this year's motorcycle racing rule book issue.
"Oh..." Kagome said.
She twisted a lock of midnight black hair around her index finger, playing with it for a while.
"Say Shippou...You know that photograph in the office with Miroku and Sengoku's original racer? Well...Do you know who was the racer?" she asked.
"The racer? No. I...um, never heard of a racer before Kouga," Shippou said agitatedly, suddenly very occupied with shuffling loose papers.
"Reeeally?" Kagome said studying her hair carefully and glancing up at the green eyed boy. "I thought that you were around Sengoku Jidai since the very beginning."
"Well...eh...I-I...um...Oh look at that! I think someone's calling me. I gotta go. See ya!" Shippou said in a great flurry to get out of the photocopying room.
"But Shippou, what about the photocopying?!" Kagome called after him.
"I'll do it later!" the young secretary said jogging down the corridor.
Kagome huffed and propped her chin upon the palm of her hand, watching as the photocopying machine spat out the last pages it had been working on.
"Why doesn't anyone want to tell me about the original racer?" she pouted. "It's not like it's some big secret..."
Deciding to go look for Miroku and try to persuade him to answer her questions, she got up and started heading towards his workshop.
The doorbell rang.
Seeing that no one was around to answer it, Kagome walked over to the large metal sliding door and opened it wide enough for her to peep through.
A girl standing outside looked up from where she had been staring at the ground.
"Hi," said the young woman. "Is Kouga here?"
Kagome shook her head, "Sorry. He left about an hour ago with Sesshoumaru, but I think he should be back soon. Would you like to come inside and wait for him?"
"Thanks, that would be nice," the brown haired stranger said politely stepping inside the building as Kagome held the door open for her.
"Would you like a cup of tea while you're waiting?" Kagome asked, leading the girl to the little apartment on the second floor.
"If it isn't any bother I would love one. I haven't had anything to drink since I left home," the girl said truthfully.
"Where do you come from?" Kagome asked from the apartment's mini kitchen. "You're not from Tokyo if I'm correct."
"Kyoto. I took the train here. Kouga left me a message saying he wanted to speak to me, so since I had to come up to Tokyo anyway I thought I'd drop by," the girl said.
"Kyoto? I've been there once for a shrine ceremony. Ojii-san was asked to attend, so we went along. It has the most beautiful Zen gardens I've been to in my life," Kagome said conversationally, putting the water to boil.
"Yeah..." the brown haired woman said sighing wistfully. "My family has been living in that city for a long time now. The Minamoto's own a dojo that still keeps running. My little brother is in charge of it."
"Minamoto? You and Kouga are related?" Kagome asked turning to face the girl.
"I'm his cousin," the girl smiled and stuck out her hand. "Minamoto, Sango. Pleased to meet you."
"Hirugashi, Kagome. Odd job helper of Sengoku Jidai," Kagome said with a warm smile, taking the girl's hand and shaking it.
"So you're the famous Kagome Kouga has been telling me about? I thought you were his assistant trainer," Sango said looking at her curiously.
Kagome laughed.
"Well, I was at first. You could say that I've been everything but Kouga's assistant trainer," Kagome said with a chuckle. "Sesshoumaru has made sure of that."
Sango snorted. "That's just like him. He works alone, no exceptions."
"So you're a martial artist?" Kagome inquired as she rummaged around the cupboards for a decent set of teacups. So far, no luck.
"Something like that," the Sango smiled. "I left the dojo for something else."
Kagome decided that her search for teacups was futile and settled for some coffee mugs instead.
"So what brings you to Tokyo?" Kagome asked.
"Just business," Sango said. "I came to talk to Kiba Incorporated."
"Kiba Inc.! Kami-sama! You work for them?" Kagome exclaimed in utter surprise, stopping what she was doing in the kitchen to look at the mahogany eyed woman seated in the Sengoku common room couch.
"No. They sponsor my team. I'm into dirt biking," Sango said laughing at Kagome's shocked expression.
"You're a biker?" Kagome asked in disbelief.
Kouga's cousin nodded, grinning.
"Wow! That's so cool! You're the first girl that I meet that actually races!" Kagome said excitedly.
"I know. There aren't many women who're into motorbiking," Sango said proudly.
"Following in your cousin's footsteps?" Kagome teased emerging from the kitchen with two mugs of steaming green tea.
"Actually, it's more like Kouga following in my footsteps. He'd probably still be at the dojo if it wasn't for me. I introduced him to Sengoku," Sango said accepting the tea offered.
"How did you meet the team?" Kagome said taking a sip from her mug.
"Through Myouga," Sango said.
"Myouga? Who's he?"
"Kiba Inc.'s current president. I thought you'd know. After all Kiba sponsors Sengoku Jidai as well. Not to mention that when Inuyasha turns 21 he and Sesshoumaru will be inheriting the whole Kiba company," said Kouga's cousin blowing her tea for it to cool down.
"I-Inuyasha and S-Sesshoumaru...you mean to say that...they are the sons of... Nakamura, Inutaisho?!" Kagome screeched nearly spilling her drink.
"Of course. Everyone knows that," Sango said calmly.
"I didn't," Kagome pointed out.
"Well, now you do," Sango said shrugging and finally swallowing some of the hot liquid inside of her mug.
"Kami...I never imagined that Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had anything to do with Kiba Inc. I mean the company is...maybe one of the best bike and auto producers in Japan! I always wondered how they could have founded Sengoku..." Kagome said thinking aloud.
"Kagome-san? Do you think I could have some honey? It makes the tea sweeter," Sango said snapping the young school girl out of her musings.
"Sure. I don't think they'll have any in the kitchen but I'm pretty sure I've got some in my backpack downstairs," Kagome said setting her mug down and standing up.
At the older girl's questioning glance Kagome answered, "Don't even ask. I don't know why I'm carrying around honey."
Sango giggled and watched Kagome go fetch her backpack. The girl seemed like a nice person and she was pleasant to talk to. Actually, now that Sango thought about it, she never actually had a decent conversation with someone of her own sex...apart from her mother that is. If only she'd lived...
The brown haired woman stared into space, so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice when the apartment's door opened and the person who entered froze at the sight of her.
"Sango..."
Sango's head whirled around to face the dark haired man before her.
"Miroku..." she breathed.

A/N: Konnichi wa mina! Hiikaru here! Just wanted to tell you that Kiba means Fang in Japanese. I thought it would be a good name for the Fluffy's and Yasha's soon-to-be company.
Oh yeah...and you should be thanking Hanoi for the update...If it hadn't been for her persistence and continuing nagging I might have not finished this chapter. So there you go guys!

Angel81: Thanx!
CharMoonshineINU: So. Who do you think Youkai Hayasa is? I'm just curious...there are many possibilities ya know.
^.^: You'll get your wish. The pairings are open and Kags will be waltzing with everyone...except Miroku and Shippou. They are OFF limits. Shippou cause he's too young and Miroku because...well...Sango would kick him to Timbuktu and back again.
aoringo-chan: Yeah...*sighs* I want Fluffy's fluffy tail. So soft...
Fushigi Wolf: Yeah! It's not fair to always pick on poor Kouga. He's a nice guy! And totally cute! ^_^ So I decided to give him some credit and make him a good guy.
Hoshi-chan1: Glad you're happy!
Miko Sakura-sama: I liked last chapter too. I felt really satisfied with it. I'm not all too satisfied with this one though...but I needed to write it, it's vital for the plot. Next chapter will be juicer and maybe even longer too.
The Slythrin Dragon: Thanx Ryu, Chibi and Red Queen! Sorry if I couldn't notify you but you left me no e-mail address and your profile has no e-mail address listed either...so...gommen nasai!
Hanoi: I've updated! IV'E UPDATED! Sheesh! I haven't died...and if I had I think you would have dragged me back from the dead to finish this story -.-....Anyway, I still like your reviews. I had quite a laugh with them ^_^ Anywho I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I wasn't all that satisfied with it but it's necessary for the plot.
BelleDayNight: I wouldn't know anything about bikes if it hadn't been for my big bro. He's got one and sorta hooked me up with the machines. Now I'm a fanatic and it's all his fault. Baka...*grumbles*
Sora: Glad to know you enjoy my fic! As for the Youkai Hayasa...I'm not telling!
babygirl20008: Oh about that evil guy with the spider on his back? She'll tell them sometime. Not now, but the subject will pop up sometime later on...
darkdragonfire: Uh? Bunny? What bunny? *looks around confused* (a pink fluffy bunny hopes behind her and grows bigger and bigger and bigger and-you get the point) *looks up* Oh. My. God. (bunny hops ontop of her) *SPALT!* @_@
Iram: Hmmm...it could be Hojou...I don't know...certainly not Naraku. I've got other plans for him.
joViz: Thanx!
Sae-chan: Why thank you Sae-chan! I'm flattered!
sashlea: I dunno. Anything I might tell you might give away my intentions and the plot and I don't want that, now do I?
Akako the Panther Hanyou: Sure. You can be in my story. I just have to find a place for you. I hope you don't mind having a minor part since that's probably all I can do. I've got the story pretty planned out you see so I might just be able to squeeze you into a role somewhere...not sure where yet...though you might appear in chapter 10.
ladihouki: A pleasure to meet you ladihouki! *bows* I'm honored to meet Amy-chan's co-writer and editor. And as for Kags being the umbrella girl...that ain't a bad idea...*sniggers*
Skiddy16: Writerwitch-chan! Hey there! Welcome back! In answer to your question on the pairings I can't tell ya! It's a secret. Though don't worry you'll find out soon enough.
anime-babe21: Silver hair? He does? I didn't think I put any info on the fact that the Youkai Hayasa had silver hair...his bike was silver. Maybe I didn't make it clear? Anyways you'll see what color of hair he has next chapter...hopefully...
Elementsofmine: I'm sure your stories are good. Maybe when I have time I'll check one out and review for you? Some stories are awfully good and get very few reviews while others that aren't so good get lot's of feedback. I've come across quite a few like that and it's kinda sad cause the author after a while gets tried of writing and drops the fic. All because no one reviews! It's annoying really. That happened to a fic I liked...*pouts* now the author has deleated it...
kgardiner: Um...there will be implications of that pairing... Don't bite my head off! *hides* Kags will be waltzing around alot. And no, she won't be portrayed as a slut, she'll end up with someone eventually. She's just gonna have some fun for the time being. Her hormones are sorta confusing her.
CloakedChoas: The envelope, the speed demon, the original racer...hmmm...many mysteries here, eh?
mooncrystal: You're welcome. Anyway what are you gonna do with the prank ideas? *raises eyebrow and smirks* Who's the victim?
me: I've updated! Ain't I a good girl?
Miko_Demoness: Um...I see you didn't keep on reading but...thanks for pressing the DAMN BUTTON. ^_^
Lil Ole Me 97: Hmmm...I left a lot of people confused...lol! And I'll just leave you all confused until I decide to reveal the Youkai Hayasa's real identity! BUAHAHAHAHA!
Tima: I dunno...maybe...^_~
Rachael: Hojo...maybe, maybe not. Who knows? It could even be Jaken! Eh...well...maybe not him...
