.../...CHAPTER.17...

How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good

GOODBYE.-ALICIA.KEYS.

Ch. 17 Departure

RECAP.

"Hmm, you know what I think is funny?" He asked with a smirk.

"What?" She asked.

"This." He said and grabbed her and shook his head to get the excess water off.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she tried to block the water hitting her.

"You asked." He shrugged with a chuckle before kissing her lightly on the lips, then went to gather his clothes.

"Aren't you cold?" She asked him.

"Freezing my ass off." He said as he picked his clothes up and pulled his shirt back on then his jacket. "Let's go to the ferris wheel." He told her.

"Uhh, did you not hear me say I don't like heights?" She asked him.

"It's ok, i'll be right there. Don't you trust me?" He pouted.

"Your a jerk. Fine let's go." She rolled her eyes and started walking without him.

"Hey you could wait!" He yelled as he ran to catch up with her. They walked to the ferris wheel and one of the employees let them in before they started the ride. The ride started moving up slowly and Kagome sat real close to Inuyasha not wanting to be near the sides. "Your going to end up pushing me off, calm down." He told her as he pushed her over a bit.

"I don't want to be by the side!" She told him and pushed him back.

"Ugh. Kagome, your going to be fine. It's just a ride." He assured her as it stopped near the top. She sighed and just decided to sit on the floor against the other seat. "What are you doing?"

"Getting away from the side." She said simply. He chuckled before slipping down and sat across from her. He grabbed her arms and pulled her to him causing a small squeel from her. She was now in his lap facing him as he kissed her gently. "What did Koga have to go do?" Kagome asked with a smirk.

"I don't know, I don't keep track with that mangy wolf." He told her.

"Uh huh." She giggled.

END.RECAP.

"Are you having more fun now then before?" Sango looked over to Kagome as she danced with Inuyasha.

"Yes, I don't have to think about dying now." Kagome laughed along with Sango who turned back to Miroku as they danced. Miroku and Sango walked off the dance floor once that song was over and walked to the booth as Inuyasha and Kagome continued dancing. They both sat down and Sango looked over at the two dancing as Kagome laughed from something Inuyasha told her. Sango smiled before she turned to Miroku.

"I think if she's involved in one more thing he'll end it." She sighed.

"I know...he hates that she has to be in any of this." Miroku nodded.

"Ya but look how happy he is with her. What would happen if they broke up?" Sango asked as she looked down at the table.

"I don't think either of them would be able to take it. He's serious about it though, he loves her to much to see this keep happening when it doesn't even concern her." Miroku explained. Sango nodded with another sigh. For a party they're moods were really starting to go down.

"Ya and knowing Naraku, if he hears Inuyasha is quitting then he probably will threaten her because Inuyasha is the only one he'll do business with." Sango said.

"We just have to think positive and if that does happen then we just have to make sure both of them find a way to be happy again." Miroku explained.

"Ya, I guess so..." Sango nodded and looked back over at Kagome and Inuyasha. It was a slow song so Inuyasha was holding her close to him as they slowly moved. He leaned down to her ear before he whispering to her.

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you, this was one crazy birthday." She giggled.

"Ya, to bad we overlooked your fear of heights." He chuckled.

"I don't know, maybe the heights are ok as long as your there." She smiled with a reddish color tinting her cheeks. He laughed lightly in his throat before he leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips before trailing off down her neck to the one place that interested him the most from the response he got before. He lightly bit her at the crook of her neck and got a light moan from her as she rubbed her shoulder to her neck closing off the area to him. "Don't do that." She told him since it had caused a wierd feeling to rush through her body the last time he did that. He was about to ask what the matter was when he noticed her scent had spiked up a bit from that one little nip. He smirked and left a light kiss on her lips before he looked at her questioningly.

"Does it bother you?" He asked with a smirk.

"N-no...it just...tickles." She said as the first word that popped in her head.

"Tickles?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes." She said quickly, actually not knowing what the feeling exactly was as the butterflies gathered in her stomach once again. He chuckled and touched her sides lightly making her laugh.

"That's the kind of response I usually get if I tickle you...I think someone has a certain special 'spot'." He smirked.

"A what?" She asked as he leaned to her again and started kissing her neck on the same side as before and nipped around the spot a couple of times and let his hands stroke down her sides to rest at the small of her back. Those butterflies had decided to be mean and she started to feel hot once again as her stomach started to do it's own flips. Damn those butterflies and now this different feeling she felt. All she knew was she liked the feeling it was causing her but was also nervous about the feeling. They both jumped back from each other when a wet substance splashed on them. Kagome gasped and looked up at the one responsible.

"What the fuck!" Inuyasha asked as he wiped away the liquid that was running down his arm.

"You two looked like you needed to cool down a bit." Miroku chuckled.

"You better start running boy!" Inuyasha chuckled before he started running after him. Kagome laughed as she watched them dissapear. Inuyasha was pissed from being splashed with the icy cold water but also relieved cause he was afraid that kiss may have carried further. Kagome smiled a bit and watched as they went through the crowds of people once they were in sight again. She crossed her arms wanting him to kiss her again, she felt exposed in a way after having Inuyasha's arms around her then suddenly standing by herself with not to mention the cold water running down her body. Inuyasha ran by her and she grabbed his arm and pulled him to her for another kiss which surprised him at first. His shy Kagome seemed to be slowly coming out of her shell.

"The way he's kissing her you wouldn't think he'd be leaving." Rin laughed as she walked by with Sesshomaru as they made their way to the exit and Sesshomaru elbowed her. "Oh, umm...i forgot?" She shrugged. Kagome looked down at the memory of his leaving and just held his hand. Inuyasha gave her hand a squeeze as he glarred at Rin.

"Umm...we have...to go." Rin said hesitantly as she dragged Sesshomaru with her to the door. Inuyasha sighed and kissed Kagome on the cheek before he pulled her into a hug and he rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Don't look so sad, it's supposed to be your birthday. I'm not going yet. Your supposed to have fun right now." He explained to her.

"I know...I just...kind of pushed the thought of you leaving out of my mind and hearing it again kinda surprised me and I just...I don't want you to go but I know you have to." She told him.

"But you know i'm coming back. I promised you didn't I?" He asked her.

"Ya, I just don't want you getting hurt." She told him.

"I'm the best babe, no way I'm getting hurt." He smirked.

"Cocky jerk." Kagome giggled.

"Hey now." He chuckled and lifted her up and spun around. "I must not be that much of a jerk if you love me." He smiled as he looked into her eyes with his lips about two inches away from hers.

"Ya ya ya, I guess your right." She rolled her eyes playfully and laughed.

"Your funny bitch." He chuckled before kissing her lightly.

"Can we just go back to my apartment?" She asked him.

"If that's what you want." He told her.

"Ya. I just want to be with you only." She said as she wrapped her arms around him and rested her cheek against his chest.

"I'm touched." He joked. "Ok let's just tell Sango and Miroku." He told her and she pulled away. He led her to the table as he told the couple they were leaving. They both gave Kagome one last birthday hug before they left.

Kagome and Inuyasha had arrived back at her apartment and lied on her bed as they watched tv. They were flipping through channels when they passed the news and saw a man they both recognized. Inuyasha quickly turned back as they listening.

"Isn't that...Shiro?" Inuyasha asked as they watched the news.

"Ya...wow...he's the mayor there now?" Kagome asked and Inuyasha turned the tv up.

'This Hotel manager was able to work his way up from a low-paid janitor to a hotel bag-boy, an assistant manager and now the manager and owner of 'The Plaza Hotel' on 45th and Yume Street. What did this young man plan to do next? Well it seems he planned to become mayor. From discounting room prices for people needing a room to holding contests for special causes, this man truly deserves the position.' The news reporter explained.

"Oh. Wow." Kagome said as she watched the tv as it showed scenes from the contest as Inuyasha laughed and pointed to the tv.

"Look there you are!" Inuyasha laughed.

"Shut up!" She glarred at him.

"Aww but you look so cute." He chuckled and kissed her lightly.

'In other news we have had reports on thunderstorms heading our way.' The tv gone on being ignored as the two in the room decided to shut it off.

"That's some crazy news. Who would have guessed." She shrugged.

"Ya, you wouldn't think that dumbass would make mayor." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Be nice." Kagome laughed.

"What are you talking about? I am nice." He chuckled as he nuzzled her neck. "I'm being nice to you arn't I?" He asked.

"That doesn't count." She giggled.

"Oh ya? And why is that?" He asked with a smirk.

"Cause you have to be nice to me or you'd be in the living room by yourself right now." She laughed.

"Then i'd just go home." He said simply.

"You would leave me?" She asked him.

"Well you'd have kicked me out." He told her.

"But...you wouldn't stay for me?" She pouted. He rolled his eyes with a chuckle and lied down next to her with his head on the pillow as he looked next to him at her.

"You know I would." He smirked. "I'd do anything for you." He said soflty. She blushed with a smile before she scooted closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her pulling her on top of him as she leaned down to kiss him. He chuckled as he turned over so he was over her as he held himself up with his arms at the side of her and lightly kissed her. He had grown to love the girl so much and loved being with her. Everyday he was with her he got to learn more and more about her and slowly he fell in love with the girl without ever noticing and now he had her and he was the one causing her to worry so much. He just wanted to live the moment for now and not think about leaving even for a day. He started to trail kisses down to her neck while nipping every so often. She giggled at the feel of his tongue against her neck. He nipped the crook of her neck once again making her stomach do flips as the butterflies went wild. She reached above his head and played with his ears a bit trying to distract herself from the wierd feeling. He growled low in his throat and returned his lips to hers. She felt a shiver run down her spine as his hand trailed down to her thigh then back at her side. He pulled away from her lips a bit to look down at her for a moment. "Hey I think I should go." He told her before leaving a light kiss on her lips.

"Why?" She looked at him with a questioning gaze before she pulled him back down for another kiss.

"Because I can't stay here." He told her. "If I stay then this can carry further then it should." He said honestly. She sat up after hearing his confession and blushed a bit. The thought finally went through and her blush deepend as she felt her stomach doing flips along side with the butterflies using their newly found powers. She nodded before looking up at him.

"Then let it." She told him a bit shyly.

"W-what?" He asked a little surprised. She didn't say anything as she wrapped her arms around his neck, capturing his lips with her own. "Kagome I don't know if we should do this." He whispered in her ear. She shivered at the feeling and nodded.

"Neither do I." She said simply before locking her lips onto his. She wanted him to just go along with it now. He returned the kiss as he lowered her onto the bed before slipping her shirt off. In a way he was happy to know she was willing to give herself to him showing she trusted him but then he felt he had to stop because he didn't want to do this right now. Not since he knew what could happen between the two of them. If he did this then he wouldn't be able to just break up with her to protect her. Although he knew this, he still couldn't bring himself to pull away from her. At the moment he was just trying to control himself so he can easily stop. He trailed down back to her neck and nipped at that certain spot on her neck causing her to moan which killed his control easily. It finally hit him what the change in her scent was. She had become aroused. 'Wait...that means back on the ferris wheel...'

"Inuyasha." Kagome said softly. He continued trailing kisses down her neck as he slipped her jeans down her legs. When she didn't continue he returned to her lips as he removed his shirt. He pulled back when she pushed him back a bit. "Promise me something."

"Anything." He whispered.

"That whenever you leave, that you'll be careful." She told him. He shut his eyes when he suddenly remembered he was going to be leaving. He got off of her and lied next to her with his arm over his face. "Inuyasha?" She asked as she sat up and looked down at him.

"Kagome I can't do this." He told her. "Your making it so hard to stop though. I want you right now even though I know I can't." He admitted to her.

"Inuyasha...what are you talking about?" She looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"I promise you but I need to get out of here. Your killing me right now. I can't control myself right now...I just have to go." He told her.

"...Inuyasha?" She asked as she pulled his arms away from his face to reveal his troubled look.

"I'm leaving tomorrow and i'm not sure how long i'll be gone but I told Sango to look out for you because I can't talk to you while i'm gone or they could find out where you are and I don't want them threatening you." He explained to her. She looked at him with a look of shock and confusion. He sat up and touched her cheek hesitantly. "Promise you'll be ok sweety?"

She looked down and nodded. He pulled her against him and held her tightly before kissing her on the cheek.

"I love you..." He said hesitantly.

"Love you too." She sighed and he sighed also before pulling away from her. She looked up at him missing his embrace and watched him put his clothes back on. She grabbed her shirt and pulled it on and he walked over to her and left a light kiss on her lips.

"Bye." He said quietly. She turned away and nodded and waited till she heard the door close. She lied back on her bed and buried her face in the covers trying to figure out what just happend. 'So he talks all sweetly to me and gets me to almost...then he tells me he's leaving! Well fine! Leave! Promise i'll be ok! Sure i'll be fine! I don't need you!' She thought. She looked over at her nightstand and found a picture of him and looked at it for a few seconds.

"Jerk!" She yelled before throwing the picture and burying her face once again to cry into her pillow. 'I'm sorry...I don't mean that...just be careful.'

Kagome woke up the next morning remembering what happend the night before. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and sighed before dialing.

RIINNNG RIINNNG

She listened to the ringing continue on until she got the answering machine. She hung up the phone before picking it up again to dial another number. When it began to ring she heard another ring in the room. She got up and walked over to the front door and looked at the table next to the door and saw a cell phone...he left his cell phone there. So he meant it...he couldn't communicate with her at all? He didn't even plan to say good-bye before he left! She shook her head before she would allow anymore tears to fall. He was coming back...she just had to wait. She nodded before going to the bathroom to get take a quick shower and got dressed before she left the apartment. She decided to get out of their instead of wallow over nothing.

She walked into the club where she found Sango and Sesshomaru talking.

"Hey guys." Kagome smiled as she walked over.

"...Hey Kagome." Sango said hesitantly.

"I'm guessing you haven't talked to Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked curiously. Sango sent him a glare not wanting to bring it up.

"Yes I have. What kind of person would I be if I didn't know what my own boyfriend was up to?" She asked with a smirk on her face and a roll of her eyes before she walked into the kitchen. "I wonder if they know when he's coming back..." She said to herself just before Sango walked in.

"So you know Inuyasha left?" She asked.

"Of course I do." She shrugged as she fixed herself a cup of coffee.

"And your ok with it?" Sango asked curiously.

"What am I going to do about it? Tell him to stay? It's not like he would. He loves doing this kind of stuff. I can't take that away from him. When he comes back he'll just have to make it up to me. Whenever he comes back that is. But it doesn't matter it just gives me time to get work done for school cause him being here just distracts me. So this is a good thing in a way." She nodded trying to convince herself more then anyone else.

"You done?" Sango asked as she listened to her friend go on and on.

"Yes." Kagome sighed.

"What did he say?" Sango asked knowing better then the act Kagome was putting on.

"When?" Kagome asked her.

"When he told you he was leaving."

"He said he had to go and he'd be back." Kagome shrugged.

"...and?" Sango asked.

"And that he told you to look out for me and he didn't know when he'd be back. And that I can't talk to him...he left his phone with me too." She sighed. "He actually thinks I won't be able to handle being without him or something." She rolled her eyes.

"Did he tell you where he was going?" Sango asked.

"No, but he told you didn't he?" Kagome asked with a sigh.

"No actually...I was actually hoping to find out from you." Sango told her. Kagome snapped her head up and looked up at her friend.

"He didn't tell you?" Kagome asked.

"No. I guess he really doesn't want us where he'll be." Sango sighed.

"But...then...he won't be staying in contact with you?" Kagome asked.

"N-No." Sango stuttered hoping Kagome didn't catch the lie.

"But what if something happens?" Kagome gasped.

"We just have to hope for the best." Sango shrugged thankful she didn't catch it.

"Shit! I have to get to school!" Kagome said when she glanced up at the clock.

THREE.WEEK.LATER.

"Kagome you need to stop walking around making us feel bad for you." Sango told her as she walked into the kitchen of the club.

"I'm sorry, I just miss him." Kagome sighed as she took a sip of her soda.

"I know, they know, the whole club knows, hell! The whole town probably knows! Sheesh girl, stop looking so down, it's been three weeks." Sango explained to her.

"I'm sorry! I just don't know how to just stop thinking about what kind of trouble he could be getting himself into." Kagome sighed.

"I know. Hey, go to class and when you get back i'll have a surprise for you." Sango smiled.

"What kind of surprise?" Kagome asked carefully.

"You'll see. If you haven't noticed your class starts in about fifteen minutes." Sango told her.

"FUCK! Thanks Sango! Ok see you after class, bye!" Kagome said as she ran out. Sango waved with a smile before she frowned with a sigh as she walked over to the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"She misses you." Sango said simply.

"Is that the only reason you called?"

"No, also to tell you i'm tired of her walking around all sad and about so I set her up on a date." Sango explained.

"A date! Uh, hello? You do know that me and her are still together right?"

"Inuyasha I know and it's not like she'll forget about you but I want her to take her mind off you at least." Sango told him. "Would you rather her walk around miserably?"

"No...I don't want her feeling sad or anything..." He said with a sigh. "Whose this guy?" He asked hesitantly.

"His name is Yari...he's a friend of Suikotsu." Sango told him.

"A friend of Suikotsu? I don't trust that bastard!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha! It doesn't matter if you trust Suikotsu! Yari is nice. I asked him to just take my friend out on a couple of dates and thats all. Its under a favor from Suikotsu. I took Bankotsu, Miroku and Koga with me when I went to meet him and they all agreed he seems ok." Sango explained.

"Why does she even have to go out with a guy? Can't you just take her out with alot of your friends or something? Like have some kind of girls thing that you usually do?" Inuyasha asked with a sigh.

"Inuyasha. It's just to make her happy." Sango told him.

"Did she say that would make her happy?" He asked not really wanting to know.

"Well...she doesn't know yet. Like I said, I'm setting them up." Sango told him. "Don't be so bitter. It'll be good for her."

"Ok well think of it this way. Your still in the gang and you went on a mission for who knows how long and I tell Miroku to forget about you and just go out with another girl. How would you feel?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'm not telling her to forget about you." Sango told him.

"Sure sounds like it." He mumbled.

"Don't you want her to be happy?" Sango asked him.

"Fine you bitch. Set her up with that guy." Inuyasha told her.

"You really miss her huh?" Sango asked with a sigh.

"No Sango, i've forgotten all about...what's her name?" He snapped acting as if he had to think of her name. "No shit I miss her. I can't stop thinking about her." He sighed.

"Well when are you coming back?"

"I don't know Sango...I don't know, I wish I knew. This is fucking hell." He mumbled a bit.

"Are you smoking?" Sango asked a little surprised.

"N-no." He stuttered a little surprised she knew.

"Liar. I would so tell Kagome if I didn't want her to know I was talking to you." She threatened him.

"Hey if you were here you'd need a cigarette too." He told her.

"Damn I forgot classes are an hour later today. Something to do with the teachers." Kagome said as she dropped her stuff on the table. Inuyasha froze when he heard her voice over the phone.

"Oh really? Oh wow. Hold on a second." Sango said trying to hide her panic.

"Oh I didn't see you were on the phone, who are you talking to?" Kagome asked.

"Miroku. I'll just say bye." She smiled.

"Ok tell him I said bout time he woke up." Kagome smirked.

"Bout time who woke up?" Miroku asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Miroku!" Sango yelled in surprise. Kagome jumped when she heard his voice then gave Sango a questioning look.

"Uhh...hey." Miroku said carefully.

"You could have told me you hung up on me!" Sango told him.

"But I wa-...Oh i'm sorry honey." He said when she gave him a 'go with it or else' kind of look.

"Whatever it's ok." Sango sighed as she hung up. "I'll be right back." She said before she ran out of the room and grabbed the phone in the office and redialed the number.

"Hey." Sango said when he picked up again.

"Wow, that was nice." Inuyasha laughed.

"Shut up. Kagome gave me a heart attack." She told him.

"Ya." He said simply wishing he could talk to her.

"Sango seems a little jumpy." Kagome said with confusion taking over her.

"Ya, she needs to cut back on that coffee." Miroku joked. "I just remembered I need to call Koga." He said and picked up the phone. He was surprised when he heard Sango on the line but looked over at Kagome when he heard Inuyasha's voice as if she had heard him too.

"You ok?" Kagome asked.

"Ya, Sango's using the phone." Miroku said about to put the phone back up.

"Hold on!" Kagome said and ran over and took the phone from him. "Sango, you need to lay off the phone some. Your going to end up driving this phone bill up the wall. I found out there have been some phone calls made across the world and if thats you, you'll be paying for it yourself." Kagome told her friend.

"Oh, heh, ya sorry about that. I'll stop." Sango said quickly.

"Ya you better be, and I think I agree with Miroku that you should lay off the coffee." She laughed as Miroku took the phone back and hung it up.

"Let's go find Sesshomaru." Miroku suggested.

"Ok." Kagome nodded as she followed the boy out of the room.

WITH.INUYASHA.

"I'm going to go, i'm tired as hell. I need to run some errands tomorrow." Inuyasha told Sango quietly.

"Ya ok. Well, i'll talk to you later." She said before she hung up.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Who is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Manten wishes to see you out on the patio."

"Ok." Inuyasha grumbled as he got up with a sigh and walked outside. 'Dammit, why can't I just kill these fucking bastards and get it over with?' He thought as he flipped a tiny switch in the inside of his jacket pocket. He walked outside and sat in the chair across from Manten. "What's up?"

"Nothing, i'm just wondering if we have a deal or not." Manten told him as he offered a cigarette to Inuyasha. He accepted and lit it up as he looked at Manten the whole time.

"I don't really like how this deal sounds. I don't get much in this deal and what's worst is I have to spend my time in this dump." Inuyasha told him honestly. Manten looked at him skeptically with a glare before laughing.

"I don't blame you, this place is a shit-hole if you ask me. Well how about this. These last two runs will be your last. Your all right Inuyasha, you don't take shit from anyone. I admire that. I'll tell you what, i'll help you out and pick up the 'plants' myself and you can just deliver. Fair?" Manten asked.

"Well...I learned over the years not to trust anyone, if you think i'll fall for that then you have another thing coming. If you do that for me then what do I have to do?" Inuyasha asked him and watched as a smirk formed across Manten's face and nodded.

"I knew there was something right about you, you like to get right to the point. Well, all I want from you is to kill Naraku. That bastard needs to learn that life isn't all about him." Manten chuckled.

"Your one crazy bastard." Inuyasha shook his head.

"Glad you think so." Manten chuckled once more before falling forward and laying face front into the ground. Inuyasha sighed when he waited till Naraku walked over.

"You had to kill the guy?" Inuyasha asked.

"He was planning my funeral in his head as you two spoke. What was I supposed to do?" Naraku asked.

"I don't know, but you didn't have to kill him. Whatever, what do you want?" Inuyasha asked him as he stood.

"Nothing, just to say hi. We barely got to talk last time we chatted." Naraku told him.

"That's because you threatened to keep me here forever and join your gang. See you don't understand, once i'm done here i'm going home." He said as he turned to walk away.

"To go back to your Kagome?" Naraku asked with a smirk when Inuyasha froze and turned to face him once again.

"Don't you fucking touch her." Inuyasha glarred at him.

"Oh calm down, I have no use for that pathetic girl. Has anyone ever told you that you disgrace the demon half in you by being with that human?" Naraku asked. "Have you no pride?"

"I didn't come here for no lecture from you. Tell me what you want so I can get it and go home. I'm tired of sitting here waiting for you to tell me while I entertain you guys." Inuyasha explained to him.

"Well you sure seemed to enjoy yourself when you were also getting high with them. I didn't hear you complain then." Naraku smirked.

"Whatever, i'll be in my room, when you need me you can send for me." Inuyasha mumbled.

"Not so fast Inuyasha...Or Yash is it?" Naraku smirked earning a growl from Inuyasha. "What I want is a gang that can just do the job I ask of them. Is that to much to ask of them?" Naraku asked as he sat down in a chair and pulled out a cigarette for himself. "I'm a fair guy, you do what I say, I let you live. It's a win-win situation. I don't understand why so many people have to go against what I say, it just causes more trouble for me. Not to mention having to get the blood off my property." Naraku said referring to Manten with a slight chuckle.

"What is it you want? Are you going to finally tell me or what?" Inuyasha growled.

"What I want is simple. I'm going to be honest here, your the best Inuyasha. Those other two you were with just slowed you down and look, they ditched you in your time of need. They decided they'd rather have families then help you out." Naraku sighed with a shake of his head as he looked down at the ground.

"No, they decided they'd rather have lives instead of letting this take up their time." Inuyasha corrected him.

"Then what about you? You have both. Your Kagome doesn't seem to mind either. I've never heard of such a close relationship." Naraku shrugged.

"If you don't have any need for her then why do you keep bringing her up?" Inuyasha asked suspiciously.

"You caught me Inuyasha. That's how good you are, you caught me." Naraku chuckled. "See...I don't want to kill you. But I need something to make sure you do your job. So i've sent for your woman." Naraku said simply as he stood.

"Why the hell did you do that!" Inuyasha yelled. "I'm going to do whatever you want! I wouldn't be here if I wasn't!"

"Yes...but I like to have insurance." Naraku smiled.

"You fucking asshole, I should kill you." Inuyasha threatened. Naraku nodded and reached into his pocket and placed a gun on the table.

"Go ahead." Naraku smirked. Inuyasha took no hesitation to take the gun and aimed but sighed and let his arm drop to his side. "See what that woman has done to you? The once hardcore punk has softened." Naraku sighed and shook his head before he turned and walked away. Inuyasha sighed and sat down and watched as Naraku dissapeared and pulled out a small speaker out of his pocket.

"I should have killed him." He spoke into the tiny mic.

"Do you 'want' to go to jail Inuyasha? Just sit tight and do your job and we'll take care of the rest." The woman on the other line said.

"What about Kagome? I don't want her here. You better make damn sure she stays in Tokyo." Inuyasha told the woman.

"We will. Just watch what you do and keep your temper in check."

"Whatever, i'm tired of seeing him kill people like it's natural though. If I see another man get killed then you guys are going to lose your man." Inuyasha said before he flicked the switch off. He sighed before he stood and walked inside before he entered a room with a whole bunch of guys smoking and drinking. "You guys need lives." Inuyasha chuckled. 'Damn these people need lives...was I like this before I met Kagome?' He wondered.

"What did Inuyasha say?" Miroku asked after a while after Kagome had left for class.

"Nothing as usual. He's not going to tell me what's going on or where he is." Sango sighed.

"He misses Kagome huh?" Miroku asked her.

"Of course he does. He doesn't even want me to set Kagome up on that date."

"I wouldn't doubt it." Miroku nodded.

"Ya...but I got him to agree. We just have to talk Kagome into it." Sango told him.

"That's going to be pretty hard." Miroku told her as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Yup." Sango sighed.

tbc...
