Chapter 7: Crawling

Kagome sighed as she finished off Sesshomaru's bed. Finally, she was almost done and it was just noon. She could get so much done faster! She didn't know why though.

"Hungry?" Kagome heard a voice, Inu-Yasha.

Kagome turned around, her face twisting into a grin since she heard the familiar voice she found herself wanting to hear.

"Inu-Yasha." Kagome said, each syllable slowly escaping her lips.

Inu-Yasha stood in the doorway with two ramen cups.

"You want some ramen? We can eat in my room." Inu-Yasha said softly, as if, if he tried to force her she would break.

"Come on. Straighten up. You are so not Inu-Yasha." Kagome said as she passed Inu-Yasha to go into his room. She actually was really hungry.

Seeing she was happier Inu-Yasha grinned and copped a quick glance at Kagome's butt as she went into his room and sat on a hanging oval chair by his bed. Kagome leaned back and crossed her legs, looking like a goddess as she bathed herself in the sun. He gulped.

Inu-Yasha walked over and sat on his bed, passing Kagome one of the cups of ramen. Kagome hungrily took it with a small arigatou.

"Hungry?" Inu-Yasha found himself saying again as Kagome indulged herself in the food, he was also starting to eat.

"Umm… yes! Hey! Inu-Yasha!" Kagome huffed, her happiness taken back. "Those are my hair sticks! They are not chopsticks to eat with you imbecile!"

"Why? Are they special? But I love them, they taste like you…" Inu-Yasha said with that stare again, Kagome gave him a horrified look and then stuck out her tongue.

"Yah, they are special. My boyfriend gave them to me." Kagome finally said as she and Inu-Yasha finished their ramen at the same time. Inu-Yasha's eyes changed, a way that she'd never seen them change before.

Inu-Yasha dropped his empty cup to the floor and walked over to Kagome and put a knee on the chair. Kagome felt a shiver go down her spine, she hated when Inu-Yasha changed his mood so dramatically and quickly. She never knew what was going to happen.

"You work for me right?" Inu-Yasha said in a sure voice. Kagome slowly nodded. "Then I don't want you to go out with him anymore. I don't want you to go out with anyone."

Kagome thought he was joking at first as Inu-Yasha loomed over her. Kagome didn't know how to react. She opened her mouth but…Crack! Crash!

Kagome now found herself laughing as she was still in the chair, but now on the ground. Inu-Yasha was slightly blushing as he still hovered over her, hands on both sides of the chair to himself from falling on top of her.

"You are fat!" Inu-Yasha joked, relieving Kagome that she didn't have to answer his question. Kagome scrunched her nose.

"No way! You're knee is the fat one!"

Inu-Yasha's face went softer as he looked at her. Kagome gulped as she felt one hand trail from her face to stop at her stomach where the hand held her. Kagome was blushing; she could feel the heat in her face.

"Naw, you're not fat at all." Inu-Yasha whispered as he leaned closer, just hovering over her face.

Kagome opened her mouth to speak but she couldn't. What was with that? She knew this guy for two days now and she was constantly getting into these type of situations. What scared her the most, was that in these situations, she'd get in too deep. If she was in too deep she'd do anything anyone wanted. A trait she'd learnt from being Kouga's girlfriend. She was always wanting him to like her more so she'd do whatever he wanted her too if she felt he wanted her to. Luckily he hadn't pressured her into sex or anything yet because he knew that Miroku would bust him up.

She was lucky to have good friends that way. She knew that Miroku didn't like Kouga. Neither did Sango. But he wasn't their boyfriend so it was still up to Kagome.

"Of course not… I stay fit from the cat fights which I ultimately always win!" Kagome whispered back in a weak laugh. Inu-Yasha laughed, but this laugh, was different. Sometimes Kagome could believe you would know if someone was bearing themselves to you through their laugh. And know she was seeing Inu-Yasha's. How could he trust her so much?

Kouga hadn't even used his laugh yet with her. To Kagome, when someone laughed like that it meant they trusted you a lot. It meant that they believed they could laugh without hesitation… without ridicule. It was… amazing…

"Yes, you are my little kitten aren't you?" Inu-Yasha said, using a finger to push a piece of hair out of Kagome's face. Was that her heart pounding he could hear?

Kagome swallowed hard. What the hell was she supposed to do? Why was she caught off guard?

"I don't think I'm a kitten." Kagome said in a chocked back voice.

Inu-Yasha grinned, she was in his hands. Too bad it was only the second day.

"Naw, you're a tiger." Inu-Yasha said gleaming, remembering a similar conversation when he had met her the day before.

"Could you… um… get off me?" Kagome asked, her eyes darting around the room.

"Sure thing!" Inu-Yasha said, jumping up and laughing, changing the mood once more.

Kagome got up and glanced nervously at the chair.

"Sorry about the chair…" Kagome said lightly.

"Naw, it was nothing. It was kind of pissing me off anyways." Inu-Yasha laughed. "Who knew I only needed a fat chick to get it down?"

"I am NOT fat!" Kagome hissed through clenched teeth.

"I think we've had this talk before havn't we?" Inu-Yasha said, waving a finger at Kagome disapprovingly.

"I'm just saying I'm no fat chick." Kagome laughed as she shrugged.

"Anyways, are you done cleaning yet? Since you are the only staff who is actually cleaning this summer Sesshomaru would be pretty pissed off if I left with you leaving the house a smidge dirty. He's a bit obsessive. I mean, if you just leave one banana peel on his desk…" Inu-Yasha said staring at Kagome earnestly.

"Take… me… out?" Kagome asked in a reluctant voice.

"Yeah, sure you have a boyfriend so it'll be just two friends." Inu-Yasha said with a twinkle in his eye. "Besides you never know if he could be cheating or going out on other dates…"

"That's a lie, he says that he's going to dump her but she won't take it!" Kagome blurted out, afterwards throwing her hands to her mouth

"Ah." Inu-Yasha said smiling. "So he does have a girl on the side now does he?"

"I did not." Kagome huffed and she crossed her arms.

"Ah, just shut up and admit that you're done the cleaning so I can drag you to my car." Inu-Yasha said like a snob, as if Kagome would never say no.

Kagome puffed out her cheeks. "I may be done but I am not going anywhere." Kagome said as she rooted her feet into the ground, no way was she leaving.

"Great!" Inu-Yasha said triumphantly as he rushed Kagome and threw her over his shoulder like in the morning.

Waterfall tears fell down Kagomes cheek. "He got me again…" She said in a defeated cry. Inu-Yasha laughed and patted Kagome's butt.

"He got you again." Inu-Yasha joked.

Kagome finally sighed in acceptance. "So where are we going? Not a place with a lot of people I hope because I'm still wearing this ridiculous costume."

"Hmm, didn't think about that. But, I was thinking about throwing my monthly party next weekend. I will need a helper and I was thinking you could do it. But instead of a uniform I was thinking about you wearing a nice designer dress. What do you say?"

"Whatever." Kagome groaned as she felt herself thrown over the car door to land in the passenger seat without harm.

"How's this one?" Kagome asked, coming out of the change room for the tenth time with a new dress.

This one was black and was particularly pretty. It was a halter with a deep neckline that ruffled down and was tight, the bottom dropped at her feet. There were two cuts in the middle of her legs on each side running from the middle of her thigh to the bottom, with tiny vintage light pink bows at the top of the cuts.

"Nice!" Inu-Yasha said nodding in approval.

"Yeah I guess so… But I think the neckline is too low." Kagome said sheepishly.

Inu-Yasha got up from the comfy chair he was sitting in and grabbed Kagome and made her face the mirror. He stood behind her.

"Look at yourself…" Inu-Yasha said soothingly. "You look beautiful. Remember, you wear the clothes, they don't wear you."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kagome asked softly, taking aback at how Inu-Yasha had called her beautiful. None of her other boyfriends had ever called her beautiful, not even Kouga! It was always; you look hot or cute or pretty, never beautiful.

"Well… It means that the neckline is fine and makes you look gorgeous, it's not like you're a mannequin and the clothes are there to stand out, it's you that's supposed to stand out. Kagome you might not have noticed but you are exquisite and showing yourself off is good. Kagome I know you want to blend in and not be noticed but I won't let you." Inu-Yasha said almost in a whisper from behind her. Kagome's eyes opened wider, Inu-Yasha sure had a way with words.

It was funny because Inu-Yasha's description fit Kagome to a T. She did want to be un-noticed since she didn't particularly like herself. She didn't find herself the prettiest or the smartest. Kagome was average, and average people needed to act like average people. Movie stars, singers and models deserved the dress she was wearing. They deserved to have an entrance.

Inu-Yasha grinned. His words were convincing her. It was pretty cruel of him to abuse the fact that Kagome had a bad relationship with her boyfriend, but he needed to get her to go with him and no one else. This need though, was scaring him.

"So we'll take this one! Kagome put your clothes back on and we'll be off." Inu-Yasha said quickly, the woman serving them nodded.

"So where are we going next? I still don't want to walk around in this." Kagome whined, not caring if every person in the store looked at her as though she was crazy to be talking like that to one of the richest men in Japan.

"Where do you want to go?" Inu-Yasha asked glancing at her as they left the shop and headed into the car, Inu-Yasha throwing the bag into the back.

"Let's go to the mall. I can buy myself some clothes there." Kagome said grinning. She had always loved the mall.

Kagome directed Inu-Yasha to a smaller mall that even had an arcade to the side.

"Wow, never been to a place like this before." Inu-Yasha said as they drove into a parking spot. Inu-Yasha had wrinkled his nose. Kagome laughed.

"Didn't think you would. But I like this place. Besides, not everyone is a born billionaire. I can at least buy stuff here." Kagome chuckled, poking Inu-Yasha in the side. Inu-Yasha cocked his head and laughed.

"Whatever you say, I could've taken you somewhere better and could have gotten you a nice designer outfit."

"You don't get it! I don't care about that stuff. In fact you can take my pay out to pay for that dress." Kagome said as she got of the car and walked towards the mall.

Inu-Yasha caught up to Kagome and poked her head. "Get over it drama queen. The dress was a gift from me for your hard work, now get off your high horse and go to your shops."

Kagome scrunched her face in disagreement but Inu-Yasha patted her butt and she finally went ahead with Inu-Yasha following her. Kagome got a few stares from her costume and she silently fumed about how she was going murder Inu-Yasha when they got back.

Finally Kagome walked into a neat little clothes shop where she bought a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that said "Get Over It!" With persuasion from Inu-Yasha. Unfortunately for Kagome one of her friends was at the cashier.

"OMIGAWD! Kagome-Chan! Are you with Youkai-Sama over there?" Her friend asked excitedly. Kagome rolled her eyes, another fan girl. As soon as they stepped into the mall Kagome got a weird sensation that her and Inu-Yasha were being followed.

"Yes, Yuka-Chan, I am here with Inu-Yasha Youkai who is my employer." Kagome groaned. Hearing his name Inu-Yasha quickly walked over, flashing his grin-of-death and holding out a hand.

"Oh, are you friends with Higurashi-Chan?" Inu-Yasha said lightly, Kagome gaped, how come with every other girl he was like that and not with her? And she was also amazed by the fact Inu-Yasha had actually said her last name in public. Showing her respect only in the company of others.

Yuka nearly died and Kagome was chuckling as she got tongue tied quickly.

"Yeah, me friends Higurashi of, yeah." Yuka said blushing. "Me Yuka-Chan."

"It's nice to meet you Yuka-Chan!" Inu-Yasha said finally after Yuka stopped stuttering and he tried to end the handshake but Yuka wouldn't let go.

"Even though you're the employer of Higurashi-Chan… I was wondering if you'd want to go with me for lunch sometime?" Yuka said, taking up the courage.

Kagome winced, what was with that. What was this large angry ball of flame that was building in her chest? Her chest had suddenly become so tight she felt like bursting. Inu-Yasha seemed have noticed and he put an arm around her waist and pulled her close.

"I'm sorry, but I am actually here with Higurashi-Chan after working hours." Inu-Yasha said, trying to let the girl down gently. He had instantly noticed Kagome getting worked up.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Yuka said, hanging her head and finally letting his hand go. "Ja Kagome-Chan!"
