Hello once again all of the faire and few… sorry but it sounded cool. Anyways, I'm sure you all would like to know what took me so long (dodging tomatoes) Ok, ok! I just had some serious things with the family, and all that boring sad stuff. So, I'm back to give you another chapter. This ch. is for my buddy Brandy, cause she was here when I wrote the thing and it seemed like a good idea. Now she's 400 miles away and... ok i'll go on.

Oh, another thing. Feel free to review, really, I want them. I'm actually a review vampire, and live off of them…

And now for the hard part (swallow) Ok, I- do- not- own- Inuyasha! There, I said it… gosh.

Chapter 5: Hold on… I'm doing what?

Oh great. Someone left the blender on…

Kagome, still half asleep, rolled over and buried her face under her pillow.

Turn it off! Turn off the blender now! Please…

Sighing in frustration, Kagome tried once again to go back to sleep. It was early, she could sense it. She could feel a headache forming between her eyes, and her throat was scratchy.

I swear, if someone doesn't shut that thing off, I'm going to-

She trailed off as everything that had happened last night came back to her. The streets, the strange home with the wet dog smell, and, and…

Peeking out from underneath the pillow, Kagome looked over at the source of the obnoxious sound.

That man. Blue eyes, no wait…

She watched as a pained look crossed his beautiful face, then as he shifted to make himself comfier. He was sprawled on the floor on a blanket, with another wrapped around his legs. At some point he had taken his shirt off. Blushing, she saw how very well toned he was. His golden skin that had been covered by his clothes stood out and shined with the morning light bouncing off. His upper chest was perfectly sculpted, and letting her gaze travel lower, she saw… well she saw a set of abs that would have Adonis running for his money. Forget six pack, this man was fully loaded with eight of them, and she could see his hipbones that traveled down beneath the blanket. She saw that there was no hair on his chest, but there was a patch that started below his navel, and also went below the blanket to-

Kouga.

Hearing a sharp intake of breath, Kagome's gaze jerked back to his face, to see that those gorgeous blue depths were staring at her.

He's awake. Oh boy, what is he thinking? He must think I'm a complete whore for staring like that, and, and, what is he going to do?

Kagome couldn't turn away from those eyes, the eyes that seemed to peer into her soul. They stayed that way for a matter of minutes, then, unexpectedly, he said, "Well, this is certainly a good morning."

Kagome could feel her face heating up. That's it, he thinks I'm easy. Oh no…

"I must say," he continued on, "that I've never had anyone stare at me before like that since… well that would be a lie since something like that happened last week. No wait, it was two days ago. Well, I have to say it's nice to know you find me attractive."

Needing to protect her pride, Kagome tried to think of something to say. "Well, you, you…" She trailed off.

Kouga softly laughed at her struggles. Then the laughter began to build as she continued to think. By the time he was practically barking out laughter, she had had enough.

Throwing her pillow at him, she yelled, "Well, YOU SNORE!"

He sobered instantly. Looking offended he said quiet regally, "I do not."

"Yes you do, I heard you. It's like a tractor."

"No, I assure you, I don't snore."

"Don't try to talk your way out of this one. You snore, and that's the end of it."

Grumbling to himself, Kouga stood up to stretch. He moved gracefully, like a giant predator. (a/n: oy vey, is it hot in here or what?) The problem was, he was a very good-looking predator and since he was flexing all of that power, it was all Kagome could do not to moan at the site of him.

Instead she licked her lips,trying to imaginewhat it would be like to taste him.

Seeing her watching him, Kouga grinned devilishly and began to move languidly, smoothly, sensually, making her want him more. Enjoying her savoring watch, he bent over as if to touch the floor. She sucked in a harsh breath.

That butt should be illegal. Without thinking she reached out and groped it.

Feeling her hand, Kouga stood up quickly, effectively bumping his head on the table. But that pain was nothing compared to the tightness in his groin.

Without looking back, Kouga made his way to the bathroom. "I'm taking a shower."

Kagome numbly nodded, still thinking about how nicely shaped his behind had been. It had been tight and well shaped… wait! What was she thinking?

How ridiculously hot he is, a dreamy teenager sighed inside her.

Oh shut up. Great, now she was talking to herself.

Sitting up she stood up and stretched. She could hear Kouga in the shower singing. She smiled to herself. He had a beautiful voice.

Shaking her head as if clearing it, she turned to look around the room. It wasn't very nice, a far cry from five star quality, but at least she was sleeping in a bed. Sleeping on the streets had terrified her.

Out of nowhere, she began to here noises from the bathroom. Kouga wasn't singing anymore, no, it was something else. He was making little grunting noises, like he was in pain. Thoughts began to run through her head. What if someone had broken into the room, and he was hurt?

Running to the bathroom she threw open the door without knocking. Looking inside, she could see a figure behind the clear half-open shower curtain. She could see on powerful thigh covered in soap, and her gaze drifted up to his soapy chest. He obviously wasn't hurt, but then why-

She stopped her thoughts abruptly when she saw an open bottle of conditioner on the shower floor. Without a thought, she looked up to see his arm moving, and then her gaze slipped to see his fist gripping himself, stroking that part of him rhythmically up and down, up and down-

Eyes snapping wide, she jerked her gaze to his face. His gaze had been locked on her face, his eyes narrowed, his look dark and hot. Then he flashed her a sexy, wicked smile that had sent both and invitation and challenge, catching the tip of his tongue between his teeth.

Quickly backing away, Kagome stepped out of the bathroom and shut the door. Bracing herself against it, she let out a loud sigh. "Wow."

"They'll be heading for the wolf's den." Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Miroku were riding in Miroku's custom built '68 Chevelle. Built with a motor to carry 450-horse power, his baby could kick 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds flat. A black frame that glistened in the sunlight, setting off the faint purple tint that it held, covered it all.

"Yes, but the question is, where is it?" Sesshomaru had tried to contact Sango earlier to see if she could answer his question, but sadly she hadn't responded.

"Well," said Inuyasha, "We need to find the damn thing! I'm not paying you bunch of assholes to sit and do nothing."

"You're not paying us enough, Inuyasha, to sit," said Miroku in a bored voice that could barely be heard over the roar of his engine. Speeding up, Miroku took the next turn so swiftly it effectively ended up making Sesshomaru slam into his silver-haired cohort.

"Hey Miroku, you fucking ass, watch it!"

"Well, if you'd wear your seatbelt, we wouldn't have this problem, no would we?"

"Miroku I swear if you don't quit shitting around, I'm going to use you as an ass wipe!" Inuyasha was beginning to see red.

"No, you see, you'd have to catch me first." Miroku turned and grinned wickedly at the half-demon.

"You fucking a-" Inuyasha lunged at Miroku, only to have Sesshomaru hold him back.

"No, brother. Leave him to drive, and let us go back to plotting."

Snarling at Miroku, Inuyasha complied. Five minutes later Miroku's phone rang. After a few short answers Miroku dropped his phone into the seat next to him, then turned in a sharp U and shot back the other way.

"Miroku! What the hell," Inuyasha began to yell again.

"Sango just called. She's found the den, and we have to pick her up at the rendezvous. Then, Mr. Dickhead, we will be able to begin our assault."

Sango was waiting outside of an abandoned bar when they found her. Pulling in, she climbed into the passenger seat next to Miroku. Once seated, she turned and pulled Miroku into a fiery, passionate kiss.

"Hey, hey! What the hell, let's get going," said Inuyasha impatiently.

Pulling back from Sango, Miroku turned to him and said vainly, "Sorry Inuyasha. Don't be all tight-cocked because I have a woman and you don't. If I remember at one point you did, and then you had to go and-"

Sesshomaru held up his hand to halt his speech. Inuyasha was now snarling viscously, his eyes red, and faint purple demon marks were showing on his face. His voice deeper, Inuyasha bit out, "don't you ever, EVER, say that bitches name in my presence again. Understand?"

Nodding, Miroku turned to start the car, then proceeded down the road.

"Kagome, hurry up." Kouga stopped again to let her catch up.

"Sorry Kouga, but I don't walk as much as you do." They had been walking for three hours now, and she still couldn't get him to say where they were headed. He had come out of the bathroom fully dressed, grabbed her arm, and then began to push her farther down the dirt road until it was nothing but trees.

For the hundredth time, Kagome asked, "Kouga, where are we going? Please, by all that is good and holy, just tell me."

And again, for the hundredth time, he replied, "You will see when we arrive."

That was the final straw for Kagome. Letting out an exasperated sigh, she stopped where she was and plopped down to sit.

"Kagome," Kouga said in an annoyed voice. "What are you doing now?"

Lifting her chin, she said haughtily, "I'm not moving until you tell me where we're going."

"I can't tell you. Well, I can tell you we're going to my home, but that's all."

"Why? Why are you taking me there? Why not hide, or take me to the police? Why your home?"

"Because," he said through clenched teeth. "What we must do cannot happen here."

"What is it? Do we have to build an army? Plan a secret attack against whomever we're running from? What?"

"Do you even know why we're running?" His voice had gotten quieter.

Shocked by his question, she realized that she didn't know.

"Kagome, did you know that you have a secret ability? A power to seek out the most coveted jewel in all the lands? The Shikon no-Tama, Kagome, is what they're after. What I-" he stopped. No reason to have her running from him to, if he told her that's why he had her.

"Oh." Kagome sat quietly, absorbing it all in. The Shikon no-Tama, where had she heard that before?

"So," she said a moment later. "How are you going to keep me from them?"

"They are the Fangs. Never forget them, and never associate with them."

The Fangs… Fangs…

"When we arrive, we will replenish ourselves and rest." Kouga continued on.

"Yes," she said, "rest, food."

"Then we will mate, then find a way to get to the jewel."

"Yes, we will mate and… wait! Do what?"

A/N: (Evil laugh) So? I thought the ending was cute, but what about you? Please read and review, you know how to. Just push that button under these words, and all your dreams will come true… well not yours, but some of mine will. But just know that you'll be doing a good dead. (me: oh yeah, they'll really go for that) Until next time.
