"(-) After the coffee was made (-)

Kagome blew off the steam of her coffee as everyone sat in a booth.

"I think I'll take my coffee to the park." Kagome said

"Sango can you lock up for me?" Kagome asked the young vibrant girl.

"No problem Kagome" Sango said with a smile and Kagome was gone.

"Is it safe for Kagome to be out there at 12:45 in the morning?" Inuyasha asked Sango.

"Kagome is the toughest one out there." Sango said sure of herself.

Inuyasha nodded. " I'm tired I think I'm going to head home." Inuyasha said.

Sure home. Miroku thought to himself but just nodded. And with that Inuyasha was out the door.

Why do I want to follow her? She isn't special to me but the thought of her being out there alone bothers me. Inuyasha thought to himself as he followed her scent down the street. "Now where's Kagome, there's her coffee on the park bench. Just then Inuyasha got hit in the back and got sent flying into a tree landing face first into the ground. "WHAT THE HELL?" Inuyasha said as he turned around.

"Oh Inuyasha it's you! I'm so sorry I thought you were a mugger." Kagome said shocked at what she just did.

"It's ok I love being karate kicked in the back at 12:40 in the night." Inuyasha joked.

"Did I really hurt you?"

"It's alright I'm not really that hurt. I just have a bad back." Inuyasha said.

"Oh I'm sorry. Can you sit up ok?"

"I'm fine really." He said sitting up with a loud crack.

"Yeah sure you are." Kagome said. Walking over to him kneeling behind the painful boy. "This is going to hurt."

"What are you going to do?"

"Just hold still and try not to cry." Kagome said as she pushed a little on his back. "Okay this is going to hurt in one, two…" Kagome pushed harder on his back and snapped it the right way. "three" Kagome said.

"Ah! That hurt!"

"Hence my warning."

"Whatever." He said standing up.

"So what are you doing here anyway?" she asked.

"I…uh…was…uh…going home and I got lost I guess… and I saw your coffee cup. So I thought I'd stop and talk.

"Oh"

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.

"I like coming to the park late at night it's peaceful and I never really liked company."

"What! How can you not like company?" Inuyasha asked her seeming concerned.

"I grew up living alone just with my older brother. No friends, no family, Sango was and still is my first and only friend. And why do you seem so concerned? I mean we just met like what an hour ago? Right!" Kagome said interrogatingly like a secret agent.

"I…I…I…I'm not concerned. I just got lost remember? I wasn't following you. I haven't been in Tokyo since I was like nine. And I'm like 26 now so it's been a long time but it looks like nothings changed much have they?" He said sipping her coffee. "But come to think of it if I remember correctly there was a little boy who lived next door to me and we used to play all the time. But all I can remember about him was that he had cute little silver dog ears."

"HUH WHAT?" Inuyasha started to panic.

"What are you so worked up about? Oh I know what it is" Kagome stood up.
"You…you do?" shit I'm busted Inuyasha thought to himself.
"You're…you're you had too much coffee! And it's messing with your head." Kagome yelled.

"Uh yeah that's it. It's the coffee. I guess that means I should get going now I mean home of course."

"Sure where do you live I'll walk you home" Kagome said going up to drink her coffee when she realized it was gone. "HEY! You drank my coffee!"

"Opps" Inuyasha shrugged.

"Oh well it's alright. So where do you live?" she asked.

"Um I'll walk home by myself its too long of a walk and you look tired. You should go home its already 1 in the morning." He scolded her.

"Shit, It's one in the morning already? I have to feed my cat Buyo. He must be hungry.
