" You know all you're doing is killing brain cells right? " Sango said with a smile as Kagome continued to hit her head against the wall.
" But I kissed him Sango! I kissed him! What was I thinking? Was I drunk or something? " Kagome said with a moan. She still couldn't believe she kissed him. Was it good? Was it bad? She didn't know. All she knew was that somehow she was getting in way too deep for comfort.
" Well I may not be a genius but if theres one thing I do know is that coffee doesn't have alcohol in it. " Sango said with a chuckle. " Now are you going to help me with these windows or what? " Sango said as she threw a bounty at Kagome.
The bounty landed square on Kagome's face. " Ok, fine you win. " Kagome said with a sigh as she took the bounty off her face.
" And besides you kissed Inuyasha on the cheek. It's not like you kissed him on the lips and gave him tongue or something. " Sango said in a reassuring tone.
" True. And who knows? Maybe now he'll leave me alone. " Kagome said as she wiped a window. He wouldn't leave her alone. She knew that he wouldn't stop bothering because of a mere kiss on the cheek. Why he kept pursuing her she didn't know. And it's that mystery that kept her on her toes. For all she knew she was just another girl on his hit list.

" Just kill me now. "
Sesshomaru said as he looked upon his Mt. Everest amount of paperwork. " Why in the hell did I take this job? " Sesshomaru said as he rubbed his temples.
" Because you're a dumbass? " a familiar voice rang out.
" Oh please don't tell me it's who I think it is. " Sesshomaru said with a sigh.
" Miss me big bro? " Inuyasha said with a smile as he strode to the chair in front of Sesshomaru's desk and sat down.
" Hm did I miss you? No. Not really. " Sesshomaru said as he snatched a paper from the pile and started to look it over.
" Ouch Sesshy that hurt. " Inuyasha said with a pout.
" As if you had the emotional capacity to feel sadness. " Sesshomaru said as he rolled his eyes.
" Ow again! Sheesh bro you're on a roll today! " Inuyasha said with a smile.
" And I'm just getting warmed up. So what do you want Inuyasha? " Sesshomaru said.
" Well I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to have another party at the house. It's just a friendly warning so when you come home and the whole house is a wreck you know why. " Inuyasha said casually.
Sesshomaru smacked his forehead and said, " When will you learn that life is more than just partying? "
" When I'm on my death bed. " Inuyasha said in a matter of fact tone.
" I'm sure. And since you're here I might as well talk to you about Kagome. " Sesshomaru replied.
Inuyasha's heart practically skipped a beat when her name was mentioned. He didn't know why though. It's not he cared for the girl. But for some reason when he heard that name, he felt rather lightheaded.
" What about her? " Inuyasha asked.
" Well I don't need to remind you that she is our employee and she will be respected just like an employee should be. And she will not be one of your one-night stand victims. " Sesshomaru said in a calm tone.
' Well she earned a spot on my hit list and that isn't changing. ' Inuyasha thought angrily. She humiliated him. She turned him. No one turned him down. And he will show her what happens when you mess with Inuyasha. But somehow he couldn't help but feel terrible that he even thought of hurting her.
" What makes you think I'll hurt her? " Inuyasha asked casually.
" Because you're you. " Sesshomaru said simply.

BRRRINNNNGGGGG!!
" HOLY CRAP! " Kagome said as she fell off her bed. ' That's what I get for taking a nap after work. ' Kagome thought to herself.
BRRRINNNNNGGGGGGG!!
" I'm coming! I'm coming! Sheesh! " Kagome yelled as she walked over to the phone.
" Hello? " Kagome said into the phone.
" Hey Kagome. " Inuyasha said in a silky tone.
Kagome rolled her eyes and said, " What is it Inuyasha? "
" Well I was wondering if you want to come to my party. " Inuyasha replied.
Kagome thought for a moment. This could be a trap. He was probably inviting her so he could try and take advantage of her when she let her guard down.
" Don't worry I'm not going to drug your drink to make you have sex with me. Sheesh. Get your mind out of the gutter. " Inuyasha said as if reading her mind.
Well then again, she did need to loosen up a little bit. And he did say he wouldn't try anything.
Why not?

Kagome knocked on the door of Inuyasha's mansion. She wasn't sure if anyone would hear her knocking since the dance music was so loud you could hear it rather well outside.
She was surprised to see Inuyasha open the door not too long after she knocked. ' For a hanyou he has great hearing. ' Kagome thought in amazement.
Inuyasha looked her over will a smirk. She looked more than beautiful in her black skirt that fell just a few inches above her knees and her matching black halter top. She also wore black mary janes on her feet. She looked so stunning to him that he believed that she was the most beautiful girl at his party.
" Do I look bad or something? " Kagome said as she shifted under his gaze. She hated it when he looked at her. It was those golden eyes that always captured her. It made her feel like he could look deep inside her and see everything as if she was an open book.
Inuyasha shook his head and said, " Not at all. Please come in. "
Inuyasha stepped aside to let Kagome enter and upon entering she saw that practically everyone was dancing and getting drunk at the same time. Couples were grinding and those who were single just threw themselves at anyone who was in their way. Everyone had a cup of liquor in their hand. It looked like a must have accessory. If you didn't have a cup, then there must be something wrong with you. There was couples having heated make out sessions in any corner and she was more than sure that there was couple in the bedrooms and she knew they weren't exactly playing checkers.
Just then a slow song came on and the couples were more than delighted while those who were single just grunted and decided to sit it out.
" May I have this dance? " Inuyasha said as he held his hand out to Kagome.
Kagome looked at his hand then looked at him. " Alright. " Kagome said as she grabbed his hand.
The song was slow and melodic. But that's all she knew. In that moment, she focused on him and only him. And Inuyasha did the same. They forgot about all the drunk guests and about the crowded dance area. All they knew was eachother.
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Inuyasha held her close in his grip. He breathed in her jasmine scent. He felt his heart beating more rapidly every second. ' What is the matter with me? ' Inuyasha though to himself.
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
Kagome just let her head lay on his chest and closed her eyes. At that moment she felt so safe. She felt like nothing in this world could touch her. She felt unbreakable. And she also found that she didn't want to leave Inuyasha's arms. She wanted to stay in them as long as she could.
And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my friends
For they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here
' Why do I feel this way? ' Inuyasha thought to himself. He didn't know why this girl in his arms made his heart beat so rapidly or how he felt like he didn't want to let her go. All he knew was that this new emotion was beginning to take over and all his devious plans from before were beginning to disappear.
I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here
And I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
Kagome pulled back to look at Inuyasha and he just looked right back at her. It was those eyes again. Those eyes that just pulled her in. She automatically tilted her head and leaned forward. Inuyasha tilted his and leaned forward as well. Then their lips collided and became one. The kiss was a pure and passionate kiss. All the hidden feelings were poured out into that kiss.
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
Inuyasha and Kagome broke apart for air.
It took mere seconds for both of them to register what just happened.
" Oh my God. " Kagome said.
" Kagome? " Inuyasha said.
She kissed him. But it was just no ordinary kiss. And that scared her. All her previous fears came back all in one blow. What was she thinking? She was getting in way too deep. She realized then and there that she cared more for him than she wanted to admit. This scared her even more.
Kagome walked backwards and said, " I'm sorry. I can't. " She bumped into a couple and quickly apologized. She then pushed her way out of the dance floor.
Inuyasha just stood there, in the middle of the dance floor.
He was shocked to find that he enjoyed the kiss. And that more than ever he wanted Kagome to be there with him. But he saw the look of sadness and shock on her face and decided to leave her be. However, he knew that deep down he didn't hate her. He knew that he didn't want to hurt her. And deep down he knew that he cared for her more than he thought he did.
And he did the only thing he could do at that moment.
He ran after her.
