Chapter 3 – Busted, Inuyasha!

--

After the Kiri had called the hospital while Inuyasha was frantically trying to ask what 'hospital' meant, and the old lady was sent into the emergency room, Inuyasha got back to work, still a little frustrated that Kiri hadn't kept her promise.

"Damn her…" he mumbled as he rang another beef flavored ramen though, which reminded him again of the incident. "Why does it seem every fricken customer is buying ramen today?"

"Inuyasha." Kiri walked up to him as he subconsciously ran the items through. "You're done for today, thanks Inuyasha."

"Ok." He took of his tie and twirled it around a bit, then felt his left hip.

--

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called from the stairs of her house as he waited by the door. "I told you to leave Tetsaiga behind!"

"Why the hell would I do that?" he called back.

"You expect to keep your job if you go in there with a fricken sword attached to you hip?"

--

"I wish Kagome wasn't so uptight…" he thought as he scratched his cheek. "Bye, Kiri."

"Good bye, Inuyasha!" she winked at him, and he walked off.

He sat by the front door of the store as he waited for Kagome to come, and she soon appeared.

"Let's go, Inuyasha." he followed her home and sat on her bed as she did her homework, playing with her tan cat, Buyo. Soon he fell asleep on her bed.

"nuyasha…" she turned around and looked at his face, calm and still, showing none of the worry he usually carried in his eyes. "You look so calm…"

--

"Yo, Kiri." he waved to her as he walked past towards his till and started it up, ready for the customers to arrive.

"Hello, Inuyasha." she responded happily. "It's a nice morning, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's fresh." he agreed.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Uh…oh nothing, it's not important." she replied and looked back to her work.

"Oh, alright." he smiled. Kiri was so nice to him, and couldn't tell him to 'sit' like Kagome did. Sure, Kagome was nice, but sometimes it seemed to him that she was controlling his life somewhat.

When she said 'sit', it showed she had the power to control him when he didn't agree with her, like when he fought with Shippo. Sure, Shippo was a kid, but he was a bratty kid, but he had grown sort of attached to him.

These thoughts ran through his mind until Kiri broke the silence. "Inuyasha?"

"Uh huh?"

"It's a holiday today."

"So?"

"The store doesn't open today."

"Oh? I guess I can go home now…why didn't you tell me yesterday?" he asked.

She didn't reply, instead she walked over to him and undid his tie and threw it to the floor. "Kiri?" Inuyasha said dumbly. He had no idea what she was doing.

"Inuyasha," she said calmly, "I've always thought that you were…different in some way. You always wear that baseball cap to work…what are you hiding? Certainly not your beautiful long silver hair…you'd need a bigger cap."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying…" she cut her sentence short as she reach up and took hold of his baseball cap, but he put his hand on top of it, not allowing her to take if off. "So you are hiding something…Inuyasha."

"I'm not hiding anything!" he replied confused.

"Then why won't you let me take your cap off?" she started to lean on him and he braced himself on the counter behind him. "Why won't you let me see?"

He let his hand loosen, but not purposely. "Inuyasha," Kagome had said. "If anyone finds out that you're not full human, and have dog ears, they'll freak out, so you must always keep this cap on, ok?"

The cap fell to the ground, and Kiri's eyes opened wide as she saw his soft, white dog ears. "I knew you were hiding something…Inuyasha."

"Now why'd you go and do that, now?" he reached to get the cap but she stopped him.

"Inuyasha…" he watched her red lips form the words. "Leave it be." She now started to unbutton his shirt, one button at a time, then when it was half way unbuttoned; she put her hands on his warm chest. "Inuyasha…" she repeated.

He twitched uneasily, and put his hands behind him on the edge of the counter.

Now she moved and put her head on his heart. "I can feel your heart beat, Inuyasha." he kept watching her. "It's beating fast."

"I know…" he thought. "I can feel it too…"

"Inuyasha?"

"Hum?"

"Your name is beautiful." she remarked. "Your parents were smart in choosing your name…I love it."

He swallowed.

She breathed out on his chest, the cool air made him shiver.

He had no idea what she was doing.

He didn't know what to do.

He didn't even know what he should say.

He felt stupid.

He felt stupider for wanting the job so badly.

Why wasn't Kagome here to help him?

"I guess Kagome might get mad if she saw me now…she gets mad at everything else I do." he frowned as he thought of the necklace that Kiri was not playing with.

"It's a beautiful necklace, Inuyasha." her finger traveled along his chest again and down to his stomach. "Who gave it to you?"

She obviously wanted an answer.

"An old woman I know did." he replied after a moment. She started to unbutton his shirt all the way now.

"What should I do?" he thought. "She's obviously a girl Miroku but I can't get her away by slapping her like Sango does…damn."

"What's on your mind, Inuyasha?" she asked quietly but strongly.

"N-Nothing…"

"Really." now his shirt was open all the way, and she started to take it off. "You are really strong, Inuyasha." she mentioned as she felt his arm muscles. His shirt fell to his hands where it stopped.

She put her hands on his shoulders and stood up on her toes, so she was taller and reached his face. Inuyasha started to blush as she moved closer to him. Kiri's lips touched his, and he felt warm.

Suddenly, in the middle of her kiss, the door opened wide. The both looked towards the door, and in it stood Kagome.

Inuyasha felt shocked. "Why is Kagome here?"

"Inuyasha!" he squinted his eyes waiting for her to say the word. "You're such a…such a…MAN!" she turned around fast and ran out of the store.

"Kagome…" he whispered.

"Kagome…" Kiri thought.

Inuyasha bent down and picked up his clothes.

"Inuyasha?" Kiri stopped him by taking his arm. "Where are you going?"

"To see Kagome." he replied and left the building.
