No, I do not own Inuyasha's awesomely fine body! LOL! Sorry, just had to add that! Anyways…On with the chapter! We are picking up exactly how we left off…
Chapter 20: Countdown to Lockdown!
Wednesday 1:30 pm.
"Well, we decided to lock them in the elevator."
"What" said Sango as her jaw dropped?
"That's right. We fixed the controls and had them stuck in the elevator till they liked each other. It was a fool proof plan. Two strangers coming together for the first time getting locked in a single place together…Of course love would blossom."
"You're lucky they didn't kill each other! What if they had hated one another?"
"Well…I-Uh…I don't know we never had to think that far."
Sigh"You are antagonizing Miroku! If we put Kagome and Inuyasha in an elevator together they'll kill each other for sure!"
"Not necessarily my dear. They do love each other after all."
"But they're arguing like cats and dogs!"
Sigh "Sango my dear, I am beginning to think you don't trust by better judgment."
"Hmm, wherever did you get that idea Miroku?" She said with as much sarcasm as she could muster.
The two sat in silence in Sango's room for awhile thinking over what they could do to help their love sick friends. Miroku squeezed her shoulder saying,
"I think we should get the aid of Ayame and Koga. We'll need all the help bringing those two into the elevator."
"Miroku…It's not gonna work."
"Do you have a better idea?"
"Well, not at the moment."
"See…We'll use my idea first, if it doesn't work we'll try whatever you want. Deal?"
"Fine…Let's just hope this doesn't back fire on us."
…………………………………………………….
Knock Knock!
"Who is it?"
"It's us Ayame, let us in!"
Ayame opened the door with Miroku and Sango letting them in and comfortably sitting on the couch waiting for Ayame to sit back down.
"Um…Hey guys…Is something wrong?"
"Yes and no…"
"Um, can you be a little more specific Sango?"
"Sorry Ayame…its Kagome and Inuyasha."
"What's wrong, are they all right?"
"Oh, they're fine; but arguing…Badly," said Miroku putting his feet on the coffee table.
"What's new?" asked Koga with a smug look.
"We want to help them stop and overcome this little argument of theirs before tomorrow. Remember…It's our last day before we go home for Christmas break and it's their last time to perform together for the semester. We just want to make sure they aren't arguing on stage…"
"Or leave each other angry," finished Miroku.
"Well, we do have the gift exchange tomorrow, and it would be nice to leave peacefully so…Count us in…What's the plan?"
"I'm glad you asked Ayame," said Miroku giving a wink to Sango!
…………………………………..
Kagome's Room (1:30pm)
I can't believe him! Sometimes he can make me so mad I just wish he would smack face first right into the ground! sigh Ok…Now that I have that out of my system…It's kind of quiet around here, wonder where everyone is? I kind of wonder where Inuyasha is…He's probably sulking right now. Well, serves him right, I hope he's miserable! He may say he trusts me; but when he doubts my judgment he doubts everything about me! groan What have a gotten myself into? I've fallen in love with someone who's possessive, crude, and immoral…And worst off I love him all the more for it. But! I am mad at him still, that I can't change. Will he?
Kagome sat on her couch in the living room pondering the question. Would Inuyasha ever change for the better? Will he always be this way? These questions gnawed at Kagome and she questioned her very relationship with Inuyasha. Can they survive together even though they have so many arguments?
………………………………………..
Inuyasha's Room (1:30pm)
I can't believe her! All I do is try to protect her and she completely takes it the wrong way! sigh If she would just understand she can't trust everyone maybe things would be different. Hmm, it's kind of quiet around here. Where's everybody anyways? I kind of wonder what Kagome's up to. I trust her but if she's going to always get so mad at every little thing can we really last? I don't even know why she's so upset. But she's mad at me and maybe I should be angry too! She probably thinks I'm some possessive jerk or something! Well Keh! What do I care? Let her think what she wants. I know what I saw and that guy is nothing but trouble!
Inuyasha sat on his own couch contemplating on his own thoughts. As he laid his head against the arm he closed his eyes hoping for sleep to soothe his many thoughts.
……………………………………….
"As I said before, this plan will never work!" spatted Sango as she glared at Miroku.
"It worked once before, I see no reason it wouldn't work again!"
"You were also dealing with sane people Miroku!"
"Kagome's sane at least, we're half way there!"
As Ayame and Koga listened and looked back and forth between the quarreling lovers, Koga as if in a classroom raised his hand saying,
"Hey! Would you guys shut up and listen!"
Sango and Miroku had risen from the seats ready to strangle each other when they looked at Koga still sitting comfortably next to Ayame on a loveseat.
"Now that I have you attention…Sango, don't be quick to judge the lecher's plan. He may be stupid; but doesn't mean the plan is."
Miroku started nodding his head at Sango and then quickly said, "Hey!-
"Plus," said Koga, interrupting Miroku, "It just might work with these two. They love each other and who knows, ten minutes alone the problem could be resolved."
"Koga has a point guys," said Ayame with a sense of wisdom, "It's worth a shot!"
"Come on guys! Honestly now! This is ridiculous! There is a simpler way than just pushing them into a fucking elevator!"
"Such as…"
"For your information Miroku why don't we just ask the both of them to meet us somewhere like, I don't know say to the movies. We all go; they spend the evening together, get things resolved, and everything's back to normal. Now what do you say?"
Miroku placed his hand under his chin pondering what Sango just described.
"But it's been done so many times."
"And it's worked every time too!"
"Didn't we make a deal to use my idea first?"
"Yeah, well I lied bitch!"
…………………………………………………
Knock Knock!
Kagome began to stir from her spot on the couch where she abruptly fell asleep after watching some television. Upon hearing the knocks at her door she wiped the sleep from her eyes until she heard Sango's voice outside.
"Hey girl! Wake your butt up and open this damn door!"
Groggily walking to her door Kagome slowly opens it with a half sleep expression and bed hair trickling down her back.
Sango waited patiently with her arms crossed as her friend returned to the land of the awake once more…
"Hello?"
"Kagome, its only 5:30. What are you doing asleep? Come on let's go see a movie."
Scratching her head Kagome yawned saying, "Not tonight Sango, I'm tired."
"Too tired to spend one last night out with the girls?"
"Too tired period Sango."
"Well, you apparently aren't too tired to form sentences so hurry up, take a shower, and get dressed because you, I, and Ayame are going out tonight."
"Sango…"
"I wasn't asking Kagome!"
With that Sango let herself in practically pushing Kagome into the shower and closing the door after she heard the water going.
"And don't come out till you are clean young lady!"
A few minutes later another knock was heard from the door…
"Hey Sango, is she getting ready?" asked Miroku trying to peer over her shoulder.
"Yes she's getting ready! What are you still doing here? Hurry and get your ass with Inuyasha over to that theatre now!"
"Mmm, I love it when you're bossy!"
"Shut up lech and go!"
"You know, sooner or later we're gonna have to discuss your pet names for me."
"Just go!" pointed Sango about to knock Miroku all the way to the theatre with one swing of her fist.
With that Miroku bowed to his lady and did as she ordered leaving her with a slow Kagome just now getting out of the bathroom.
Seeing Sango close the door, Kagome while taking a towel to her hair asked,
"Who was at the door?"
Looking more surprised than anything Sango quickly blurted out,
"Oh! That was Ayame. She said she had some business to take care of and that she would meet us there."
With a huge smile sealing the explanation, Kagome shrugged and headed for her bedroom to continue getting ready.
While she kept the door open slightly ajar Kagome asked,
"So, what are we watching anyways?"
"Memoirs of a Geisha! It looks pretty good!"
Knowing Kagome has wanted to see that movie for weeks she waited for her reaction…
Kagome poked her head out from her door with sheer excitement written all over her face…
"No way! No freakin' way! Are we really?"
"Yes, would I disappoint you Kagome?"
Walking out wearing only a bathrobe Kagome ran over to Sango and gave her a huge hug.
"All right all right already! Go get dressed! The movie starts at 7."
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Sango!"
"Yeah, yeah, thank me when you're dressed!"
Kagome nodded at her friend and ran back into her bedroom eagerly getting ready for their big night at the movies.
"Oh! And wear that white dress with the blue flowers."
"But that's Inuyasha's favorite dress Sango. I only wear it for him."
"But you look so good in it Kagome, it really accents your eyes."
Opening her door slightly more to give her friend a look, Sango quickly pouted in her direction, and as usual seeing that face, Kagome caved and went back in to put on the white dress with blue flowers just like Sango insisted.
Waiting a few more minutes, Sango beginning to get impatient walked up to Kagome's bedroom door knocking while asking,
"Hey girl! You finished yet?"
"In a minute Sango…Beauty takes time you know."
"Whatever…Just hurry up already."
A few minutes later Kagome stepped out of her room ready for a night out on the town. Sango couldn't help but run to her friend and hug her telling Kagome how beautiful she looked. She did look ravishing with her hair up in a bun with chop sticks sticking out with a few curls hanging down in the back and in the front of her face. Kagome wore white sandals and added a white shawl around her shoulders.
"You look amazing! Inu-I mean 'in your' state of dress, you're gonna knock everyone's socks off!"
"Um, thanks Sango…I think."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go girl! The night is young and I'm ready for some action."
"I thought we were gonna go watch a movie…"
"We are but you never know what happens in between…"
Sango had a mischievous little grin on her face and dragged Kagome out the door in two seconds flat!
………………………………………………
Inuyasha's Room (a little earlier)
As Inuyasha continued doing push-ups off the floor in his living room Mirkou continued to coax him into another boy's night out.
"Come on Yash, let's do something."
"Last time we did something we ended up in a gay bar."
"Hey, I don't remember you having a horrible time."
"That's because I was with my friend Mr. Jack Daniels."
"Don't forget our vato Jose Quervo," said Miroku with a wink and a gun.
"Whatever…Listen I'm just not in the mood all right. So just go with Koga already."
"Inuyasha…Tomorrow is our last time to hang out before the new semester. Don't you wanna hang out with the guys?"
"Do you know how gay you sound right now," said Inuyasha taking a break from the push-ups to look at his friend.
"WHAT!" sigh 'honestly, can't I guy catch a break?'
"Miroku…I'm not going so you're wasting your breath."
Calming down just a bit Miroku sat down on the couch with his legs propped up once again.
"Listen Yash…I know you had an argument with Kagome and all but you shouldn't let her hold you back from having some fun."
"What? What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with her! I just don't wanna go so get off my fucking back!"
With that he got up from the floor and walked over to his refrigerator drinking some orange juice out of the carton, as he did this Miroku tried to come up with another way to approach Inuyasha for Sango's plan to work.
"You know Inuyasha, Sango told me her and the girls were also going out tonight."
"Oh really...And I care why," said Inuyasha giving off a huge burp while placing the juice back into the refrigerator and heading for the sofa.
"Well…You might care about where they're going…"
With this comment Inuyasha turned back towards Miroku with slight interest.
"And where are they going?"
"To the movies…Where a certain guy by the name Hojo is supposedly working…"
At the mention of Hojo's name, Inuyasha started to cringe and balled his hands into tight fists. Clenching his teeth tightly he finally managed to calm himself down enough to grunt out,
"You don't say…"
"Yep, they're going to the movies and Kagome will be open for Hojo to talk to her, maybe touch her again, or ask her out, or you know the things that an attractive girl and guy normally would do, you know…"
Every single word coming from Miroku's mouth made Inuyasha want to punch holes through the walls; but better yet through Hojo's thick head!
Turning towards the bedroom Inuyasha looked over his shoulder saying,
"Hey! I feel like going out after all…"
"Oh really? Where?"
"Where else…The movies!"
With that Inuyasha strolled into his bedroom and quickly prepared for the evening.
………………………………….
Inuyasha's Pov
There's no way in Hell I'm letting him near her. Not after what I saw today. I'll kick his ass from here to his grave before I let him get within an inch of her. Kagome may not understand but there's something about that guy I don't like and it's not just the fact I know he's in love with my Kagome. It's something else, something deeper…I can't explain it; but he's not what he seems to be…
……………………………………..
Kagome's Pov
I'm going out to the movies tonight Inuyasha! I'm going to have fun with my friends. I know Hojo works at the theatre we're going to and dammitt I'm gonna talk with him. You're not the boss of me and no matter how many times you say you are trying to protect me I know it's just you protecting yourself…I know you're just being jealous! Why you can't admit that to yourself is beyond me; but don't think that I can't see it! I know you better than that! I'm in love with you for goodness sakes! But if you continue to try and control me…I don't know if we really can be…
………………………………………
The girls arrived at Sun Coast Movie Complex around 6:15 in the evening and Kagome immediately spots Hojo through the massive crowd as he was sweeping the floors outside where the concessions stands are being busily piled with people. Waving to the girls to save her a seat she walks over to him with a smile.
"Hey Hojo!"
Looking up from his work Hojo gave her that same goofy smile saying,
"Oh Kagome! It's so good to see you!"
"Yeah, I just wanted to thank you for taking me back to my room earlier today. You didn't have to…"
"I know but you looked so peaceful, I didn't have the heart to wake you."
"You're so sweet Hojo! I don't know how to repay you."
"The only thing I need from you is just to see that gorgeous smile," as he lightly touched her cheek with the back of his hand. Kagome immediately blushed and almost like from a scene from a real movie everything changed from a sappy image to nothing but pure action packed drama as Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's shoulders pulling her behind him and began to snarl in Hojo's face.
"HEY! Stay the hell away from my woman!"
The gang looked on in horror as Inuyasha and Hojo faced off before their very eyes.
……………………………..
"Hey…I think he got that line from me," said Koga wrapping an arm around Ayame with a huge grin.
Looking at Miroku and slapping his arm,
"I told you to bring him here in a good mood," spatted Sango.
"He wouldn't come so I told him about Kagome being here with Hojo."
"You did what!"
"It's the only way I could get him here!"
"This is just great! We'll be lucky if they don't create a scene!"
"Oh I think it's a little late for that Sango," said Ayame covering her face with her hands.
…………………………………
Surrounding Inuyasha, Kagome, and Hojo was a full audience circling around for the best view.
Gathering his much needed courage to face Inuyasha, Hojo put on a tough act and stood up to him…
"Listen Inuyasha, Kagome has a mind of her own! She can talk to whomever she wants and she doesn't need some bossy muscle headed street punk telling her what to do," said Hojo pushing Inuyasha with one hand.
After Hojo touched him, all reason went out the door and Inuyasha couldn't help what he did next…
"You just don't know when to shut up do you?"
With that he pulled his fist back and decked Hojo right in the mouth!
"Ahh! Hojo!" Yelled Kagome, but before she could see how he was doing Inuyasha was already holding her back.
As she began to wrestle him two security officers ran through the crowd to the head of the scene…
"All right everyone! Break it up!"
Upon seeing the gentlemen making their way Inuyasha quickly grabbed Kagome and dragged her away back to his car as she continued to struggle for her freedom.
…………………………………………….
"Uh…Where's he taking her," asked Sango.
"Looks like his car."
"I see that Ayame; but where in his car is he taking her?"
"Maybe back to the dorms, it looks like his fist got quite a bit of blood on it," Koga interjected.
"I don't think all that blood was his," added Miroku staring with the rest of his gawking friends.
"Well, should we do something like help Kagome?"
"I wouldn't wanna go near him right now, what about you Miroku?"
"Not a chance in hell Koga!"
…………………………………………….
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha, let me go now," shrieked Kagome as she tried prying from his grasp.
Dragging Kagome as if he wasn't even listening to her he opened the door to his car saying,
"Get in!"
"You can't just-"
With as much force as he could muster using a low growl he put his lips only inches from Kagome's saying,
"Get…In…Now!"
Slightly fearing what he would do if she disobeyed, Kagome relaxed and waited for him to let go of her arm. When he finally did, she looked away from his face to sit down and wait for him to close the car door.
When they finally reached the dorms Inuyasha parked and immediately swung open his door and stomped over to Kagome's side pulling her door open and grabbing her out of the car…
"Ouch! Can't you be at least a little gentler? That's an arm of flesh not plastic!"
Inuyasha didn't listen but only forced her back into their hallway and ordered her into his dorm room. When he finally had the door locked he turned to get a good look at her…And what a sight! Despite the fact she was burning hot from anger, she looked in his eyes…Like the sexiest creature to roam the world.
"Inuyasha! Are you even listening to me? Why are you being like this? Can't you-
Before she could finish her sentence Inuyasha already possessed her lips in a steamy passionate kiss. Holding her captive as his hands moved up and down her slender back Kagome couldn't help but moan at his gestures. He finally pulled away and looked in her eyes saying,
"I told you to stay away from him."
"Inuyasha, you can't just-
Once again he dominated her lips with more passion and fervor than every before. Feeling everything drain away just from his touch Kagome slightly pulled away and noticed his bloodied hand on her shoulder.
"Inuyasha…There's blood on your hand."
"It's nothing…"
"Yes it is! I'll be right back…"
And with that she took off to his bathroom to find a first aid kit. Inuyasha watched as she went admiring the way her hips swung with every step. With a sigh he took a seat on the couch and waited for her to return.
As she sat beside him on the couch taking his hand she began,
"Inuyasha…You know I care about you; but you have to stop this. I love you very much and I'm not going to leave you."
"I was just trying to protect you."
"Inuyasha…Who are you really trying to protect?"
"You still don't believe me do you?"
Kagome suddenly found Inuyasha's wounded hand more interesting than his eyes at the moment.
"Kagome, that guy…There's something I don't like about him."
"He's my friend Inuyasha."
"There's something not right about him."
"Is it because he may be a little attracted to me?"
"Besides that Kagome, he's just…Different."
"Yeah and so are you…"
"You know what I mean."
"Inuyasha, we've been through this. I'm a grown woman and I can take care of myself. I don't need you to protect me!"
"Yes you do!"
With Inuyasha's hand bandaged Kagome got off the couch in a huff.
"Inuyasha…You just don't understand!"
"I don't understand! You're the one being naïve!"
"Naïve! How dare you! That's it, I'm leaving!"
"Good! Go already!"
"I am!"
With that Kagome quickly left open Inuyasha's door only to find four people blocking her way.
Kagome's mouth went wide open as she stared at her friends in shock.
It was Sango to speak first…
"Uh…We were just um-
"Ease dropping?"
"Yeah, something like that…"
Looking back at Inuyasha, Kagome said,
"See what you've done! Because of you are friends are worried about us!"
"What I've done! You're the one who won't shut up and stop yelling!"
"Why you-I can't bare to look at you anymore! Hojo was right! You are a bossy muscle headed street punk!"
As she left the doorway her friends instantly moved out of her way letting her have better access to her room. None of them looked at her as she slammed the door making them shrink in their places. Looking at a pouting Inuyasha who returned to his crossed arm nose in the air pose, Sango poked Miroku saying,
"All right…How fast can we pull off Operation: Elevator Lock Down?"
…………………………………………………..
Knock Knock!
"Who is it," asked an obviously crying Kagome.
"It's me Kagome!"
"Oh, it's open Sango."
Sango walked into her friend's room yet again and couldn't help but feel pity for her poor friend.
Sitting beside Kagome on the couch she gave a slight smile.
"It's all right Kagome. You know it's normal for couples to have arguments."
"Yeah, but Inuyasha and I…Well, it's different. We met arguing."
"What?"
"Yeah, you know that elevator down the hall? That's where we first met."
"You don't say?"
"He was such an arrogant jerk, even then. Nothing's changed, I thought he might have; but he's still that same jerk I met a few months ago."
With that Kagome began to sob into her hands once more and Sango put a hand on her shoulder trying to console her.
Right on cue Ayame came knocking on the door…
"Hey Kagome? Um, before we came back we went shopping…And I know you are in a state of distress right now; but I was seriously hoping that you would help me bring the bags up here…You don't mind do you?"
Sniffling before choking out her words she said,
"Of course not Ayame, you know I would do anything for you."
…………………………………………..
"Inuyasha, you gotta talk to Kagome."
"I don't have to do anything Miroku! It was her that stormed out!"
"You're the one that provoked her!"
"I was trying to protect her!"
His voice began to echo through the walls and Inuyasha gave out a sigh before slumping down onto the couch with his hands on his head as if he were suffering from a headache.
Calming down too, Miroku immediately sat next to him and said,
"I know you mean well Inuyasha. You love her and just want to make sure she's all right."
Knock Knock!
"Yo! Hey guys, um Ayame went shopping and brought some stuff back since none of us got any supper tonight, so come help me get 'em!"
"Yeah, we'll be there in a minute Koga," said Miroku with a smile and nod, giving the signal for him to get in position.
………………………………………………….
10 minutes later!
……………………………………………………
"Uh…Why did Koga want our help if there was only one bag?"
"I don't know, maybe he was too lazy to carry it himself?"
"Maybe, and why am I carrying this bag anyway?"
"Because Inuyasha, you offered to carry it."
"Yeah, well, remind me to hit him later for this stupid task. Where is he anyways?"
………………………………………………………
"Don't worry about Inuyasha. I'm sure you two will work things out Kagome."
"I hope so Sango. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I mean, I'm only a freshman in college! It's stressful enough without having to worry about a relationship!"
As the two walked down the hall they stood in front of the elevator waiting for it to return. Once the doors opened Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other with wide eyes no believing they were meeting up in the same place.
Miroku and Sango saw the looks on their faces and new it was the right time. As Miroku left the elevator Sango managed to push Kagome landing right in Inuyasha's arms as her face hit his muscular chest without even moving him.
"Hey Sango! What was that-?
Before she could finish Miroku yelled out,
"NOW KOGA!"
Inuyasha and Kagome watched as their two friends waved good bye as the doors closed….
………………………………………
Putting his arm around Sango she said,
"I hope we're doing the right thing."
"What's the worst that could happen?"
"They could kill each other…"
Saying this they looked at each other at the same time with wide eyes…
……………………………………….
Back with Ayame and Koga in one of the dorms electrical control rooms…
"Wow…I didn't know you were good with all this technical junk."
"Yeah, well, my dad's an electrician too; helps when you run your own hotel."
"I guess so…"
Just as she finished the sentence a low growl came from her stomach.
"You hungry honey?"
"Yeah, just a little."
"Come on, let's ditch the love birds and grab something to eat."
He easily took her hand and she followed him down the hall to find Miroku and Sango.
……………………………………..
"HEY! ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING! LET US OUT NOW," shrieked Kagome as she banged on the metal doors.
"YOU HEARD HER! LET US OUT YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!" Yelled Inuyasha with as much anger as he could let loose in the small confinement of the elevator.
They pounded and banged on the doors with yelling and swearing making the noise very irritating to the only people listening to them. Kagome and Inuyasha tried using the buttons but the only source of power in the whole box was the lights.
……………………………………………………..
"HEY! If you two don't stop we're gonna leave you in there for a whole day!" Yelled Miroku kicking the metal doors insisting they stop their nonsense.
"Do what he says guys! Just talk to each other! You'll find this is just a big misunderstanding!"
………………………………………………………
"SANGO YOU BITCH! OPEN THESE DOORS NOW!
………………………………………………………..
"Inuyasha! Flattery will get you no where!"
…………………………………………………………
"DAMN YOU WOMAN! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"
…………………………………………………………..
"HEY! That's enough Inuyasha! Now you two stop this stupid tantrum and talk to each other!"
……………………………………………………………
"FUCK YOU MIROKU!"
…………………………………………………………….
(Banging and noise continues in the background)
"Well, I tried…"
"You did fine Miroku…"
Koga and Ayame walked over to them asking,
"So, how's it going?"
"Oh! Koga and Ayame! Well, we got them in there…They just won't talk to each other," said Sango shaking her head.
"Well, this better be worth it, cause I gave them a $50 bottle of wine in that grocery bag!"
"You put wine in that bag?"
"Well yeah Miroku…I figured they could always get drunk and then talk everything out…Maybe do some other things too," he said with a snicker.
Ayame and Sango gasped at the sight of their boyfriends laughing at the sheer thought…
"You two are horrible!"
"Oh Sango darling…"
"Don't 'Sango darling' me!"
"Yo! Do I need to remind you there are other elevators in this building," said Koga instantly stopping their argument.
"Anyways, I'm hungry guys, so let's get something to eat," said Ayame cheerfully.
"Yeah, but what do we do about them?" asked Sango pointing at the elevator.
"What? They ain't going anywhere, come on!" said Koga pushing everyone towards the stairs.
………………………………………………………
"Oooh! This is all your fault Inuyasha!"
"What! My fault! How?"
"Because of you being…Well…YOU!"
"You are something else you know that!"
As the two glared at one another they simply took off to two different sides of the elevator neither looking at the other.
After ten minutes of silence Kagome looked at Inuyasha noticing him ruffling through the grocery bag…
"What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm eating!"
Inuyasha had taken out the only contents of the bag which were a bottle of wine and a box of juicy red strawberries.
"Wine and strawberries?"
"Shows Ayame and Koga's taste doesn't it?"
At this comment Kagome and Inuyasha began to laugh forcing Kagome to sit next to him. Taking a strawberry into her mouth Inuyasha watched her bite into and couldn't help but be a little turned on…
"Inuyasha?"
"I'm sorry…"
"What?"
"I said I'm sorry Kagome. I couldn't help myself."
"I didn't expect you to apologize so soon. Thank you for apologizing about tonight."
"Tonight?"
"Isn't that why you were apologizing?"
"No…I was apologizing for staring at you…What else would I apologize for?"
Feeling the anger swell inside her she said, "For being an idiot of course!"
"An idiot! I was protecting you tonight Kagome! You don't know what that guy is capable of!"
"He's a nice guy Inuyasha!"
"Whatever!"
With this the argument was put on stand by yet again…Inuyasha took this time to take a swig of the drink in his hand. Shaking his head after the drink Kagome asked,
"What is it now?"
"I was just thinking…How do we get ourselves into this Kagome?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our arguments?"
Looking away from his gaze Kagome said,
"Maybe it's because we are so much alike…"
With this Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome and kissed her forehead.
"I can't apologize for how I feel about Hojo Kagome…But I can apologize for making you feel as if I don't trust you, which I do."
"Thank you Inuyasha and I'm sorry for everything else…"
With this they gave each other a sweet kiss ending their argument for the time being…
…………………………………………….
1 hour later…
………………………………………………
"Hey guys…Do you hear that?"
"Hear what Sango?"
"Nothing…Nothing at all…"
The group looked around and then at the elevator…
"You don't think they really killed each other do you?" asked Sango.
"I don't know darling. Hey Koga! Open up the elevator quick!"
"Sure thing Miroku!"
With that he hurried down the hall back to the control room on the other side of the hall.
…………………………………………………….
In two minutes the doors where swung open revealing two figures wrapped up securely in Inuyasha's black jacket as the only thing keeping their flesh from being seen by their friends…
"Oh my!" gasped Ayame
"Wow…Didn't see this coming," said Sango.
Beginning to stir from his sleep Inuyasha looked down at the sleeping figure lying on his chest with his arms securely wrapped around her beneath the jacket, and then looked up at the three people in front of him…
"Do you guys mind?"
Beginning to blush, Miroku looked down the hall yelling,
"Hey Koga! I think you can close the doors again!"

Flashback
After Inuyasha kissed Kagome's lips he couldn't stop himself…He slowly put the wine bottle down and began moving his hands gently over her body igniting Kagome's arousal as well as his own…
"Inuyasha…" moaned Kagome as he continued to feel her breast and gently squeeze them between his long fingers.
"I love when you moan my name Kagome…Let me hear it again…"
Another squeeze from one hand as his other traveled farther down to the area between her legs Kagome let out a shriek of sheer pleasure as he massaged her over and over again.
Soon enough their clothes were falling to the floor and Inuyasha and Kagome were moving as best as they could on the carpeted elevator floor. Once their first round was finished the wine and strawberries looked rather tempting…
"Inuyasha!" said Kagome with a smile as he continued to feed the strawberries to her…
"You look so cute when you eat these,"
As her mouth formed the perfect 'o' shape as if she wanted to protest Inuyasha once again closed his mouth over hers preparing for another 'go.'
After 3 times, they finally nestled together under his jacket and fell fast asleep…
…………………………………………………………….
"Mmm," moaned Kagome as she tried to nestle even closer onto his chest, "This feels so good Inuyasha. Everything seems so right…I bet I get hit by a car…"
"What?" asked a startled Inuyasha, "Well that came out of nowhere…?"
"Seriously, things are going too well. What comes up must come down right?"
"Don't worry about anything Kagome. I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Do you think we should get up?"
"Maybe a little later."
"My thoughts exactly." She said with a smile kissing him again.
"Hmm, four times Kagome?"
"Think you can keep up?"
With a devilish smirk they once again lost themselves in each other's warm embracive love.
………………………………………………
"KOGA! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
"Oh! Hey Faye, how's it going?"
"How's it going? How's it going! The residents are all complaining about the elevators being out of service! Find out who's responsible for this and get it fixed!"
"Yes Faye…I'll get right on top of it…"
As Faye rounded the corner Ayame looked at him asking,
"Who's that?"
"That's Faye, the head CA…"
"Oh…Are you gonna get in trouble for this Koga?"
"Nah, I'll just say there was an electrical problem."
"Maybe we should get Inuyasha and Kagome out of the elevator?"
Later that night…
…………………………………………………..
"It's good to see you guys together again," said Sango returning to the couch with more chips.
"Sure is…We were so worried."
"Thanks guys, for everything," said Kagome bringing with her more drinks as all of them sat in her dorm room watching television.
"Don't mention it, that's what friends are for."
"So, you guys wanna have lunch tomorrow," asked Koga taking a handful of chips.
"Sorry, I can't, I'm taking Kenjen to the park tomorrow. We're meeting up with someone."
As Inuyasha said this he looked away from Kagome while taking a sip of his drink.
"Oh really Inuyasha…Who?" Asked Kagome with a smile…
