Disclaimer-Never have never will own Inuyasha.

Chapter 8

The following day at work was really strange for Kagome. Ayame seemed to have a lot of questions about what went on between Kagome and Inuyasha during their date.

"You know i can tell you had a good time...even if you don't want to admit it"Ayame said as she watched Kagome try to hide her smile.

"look it wasn't that big a deal ok?"Kagome said trying to do her work.

"I think it was...every time I say something about him, you turn all red"Ayame said smiling at the blush that came across Kagome's face.

"Anyway I think I should tell you that Kikyo is after him"Ayame said looking around just to make sure no one else was listening.

"After him?"Kagome said feeling a little jealous.

"Yeah she was telling some of the nurses...she said if he wants a good job after this internship he'll do what she asks him to...no matter how crazy it is"Ayame said now whispering.

Kagome's heart sank. She couldn't mess this up for him, not to mention what Kikyo would do to Kagome if word about the two of them got to her.

"I guess that's it then"Kagome said. "You know i had hoped that maybe he would stick around for a while."Kagome added feeling her eye's swell.

Suddenly the door to the office flew open and Inuyasha poked his head in.

"Can I steal Kagome for a minute?"he said to Ayame with a smile. Ayame looked over at Kagome who refused to look Inuyasha in the face. "We need to talk"Kagome said getting up and leaving the office. As Kagome approached her car she felt the air becoming thick with the words she didn't want to say. Inuyasha could also tell something was wrong. As he followed her out of the office neither of them said a word to each other.

"Ok Kagome whats going on?" He said finally stopping unable to take the silence. Kagome stopped walking and just stood there. Deciding weather she wanted to see his face and his reaction to her explanation.

"This Inuyasha...It can't-we can't happen"she said still with her back turned. Kagome had thought not looking at him would make this easier but to be honest it didn't. She knew he was standing there with shock written on his face. She could feel it...she didn't need to see.

Kagome came back in the office with puffy red eye's. Inuyasha came in a few minutes later with out a word to either of them, In fact it was like he had not seen the two them.

"Your going to be ok right?"Ayame said wishing she knew how to console her friend.

"Yeah.."Kagome said in a shaky voice. "I always am." she said.

Inuyasha didn't know what to think. He was confused and angry. Kagome had never given him a reason for what she had just done. What made him the most angry was no matter how hard he tried he couldn't be upset with Kagome. Kikyo had been watching the two outside from her office window. She was more then delighted to see them arguing. She peaked out of her office door and saw a very flustered Inuyasha coming down the hall. "Perfect" she thought to herself, "He's vulnerable".

"Inuyasha...is everything alright"she said as she slipped out of her office just as he walked by. He was a little caught off guard by her appearance and the way she was looking at him, not to mention how close she was standing.

"...Long day..." He said in attempt to get rid of her.

"Are you sure that's all...I saw you and Miss...um what's that girls name"Kikyo said pretending to forget. Inuyasha thought she was quite the actor and decided to play along just to see where she was taking this, although he had a general idea.

"Kagome...her name's Kagome"he said continuing to walk noticing that the end of the hallway was coming faster then he had hoped. He didn't want to get there before Kikyo got started talking because he knew he would be stuck there with no hopes of escaping.

"Yes well...I saw the two of you in the parking lot...well I heard you as well"Kikyo said tilting her head to the side and batting her eye's. Inuyasha couldn't believe how rediculus she was being if only she could see herself right now.

"Yeah so what about it?"he said stoping becoming furstrated with her poking around in his affairs.

"Oh now...is that anyway to talk to your boss?-you should be sweet to me"she said as she brushed her finger across his face.

"Ok lady look...I don't know what your doing but what happened out there was between Kagome and myself..."he said feeling real uncomfortable and looking for the perfect moment to escape. Kikyo had not liked the response she had received from Inuyasha. Suddenly she yanked Inuyasha into the closest office and slammed the door behind her.

"Sit"she pointing to the examination table in the corner. Inuyasha had never been so nervous in his life. As far as he was concerned he had just been kidnapped and things looked like there were about to get a whole lot worse.

"Let me see if I can explain something to you...I want to make myself quite clear the first time"she said coming closer with every word. Inuyasha didn't say a word he just looked at Kikyo and for the first time saw her for what she really was.

"I get what I want...and right now I want you"she said taking off her coat. Inuyasha was flattered that someone would go through so much trouble to throw themselves at someone who didn't have the least bit of interest.

"Kikyo?...I never took you for the desperate type"he said coolly. He new if he wanted to get out of this situation he would have to use his smooth personality and his cunning words.

"Desperate?...Inuyasha you work for me..."she said taking a step back. Shocked that he was even speaking. The last intern she had was too scared to talk back. Then Kikyo thought of the most horrible idea.

"Inuyasha from her on out...every decision you make will affect your little girlfriend"Kikyo said with a vicious looking smile. The last thing Inuyasha wanted was for Kagome to be draged into this.

"Blackmail?"he said "Two record lows in one day...congratulations"he said with his infamous smirk. Kikyo had never encountered someone who was such a smart ass and it only made her want him more. She grabbed Inuyasha by his tie and pulled him close to her face.

"Listen to me you little worm..I-"She could barely finish. Just the smell of Inuyasha was intoxicating to her and what she had wanted to say left her mind completely. This was his chance, if his word couldn't save him now nothing would.

"Look at yourself..."he whispered drawing his face closer to hers. He could feel her body begining to shake. "You can't black male me..." he said getting closer with each phrase. "You want me to badly" he said brushing her lips with his. Kikyo hit the floor with a "THUD!"Just like he predicted. After easing out of the office and closing the door quietly he had to find Kagome and warn her about what Kikyo was planing to do.

"Where is she?"he said looking at Ayame.

"You look-flustered..."Ayame said folding her arms.

"Please is she still here?"he said pleading with her.

"No she's gone..."Ayame said.

Inuyasha went back to his office and got his things. He knew Kagome wouldn't listen to him but she would listen to her tutor.

"Where are you going?"Ayame said standing behind the desk.

"Uh...emergency...you might want to check the empty examination room"he said letting the door slam behind him.
