Chapter 7:

INU POV

It was almost two weeks after Thanksgiving and I hadn't spoke to Kagome since I left her house the other day. I wasn't sure what it was, but I couldn't get her out of my mind. 'Ugh…don't tell me I'm falling for that bitch.' I rolled my eyes. Don't get me wrong, Kagome was flawless…physically. But damn did she know how to push buttons. Then again, she had acted so different when she helped me. She looked at me with such kindness and concern. Now I couldn't get her to leave my thoughts. She was such an ass at times. Sarcastic, annoying, high strung, whiney……gorgeous, sexy, exhilarating…..wait, what?

"Are you serious? No screw that. I'm not fucking myself over like I did with Ava." I murmured, as turned over on my bed. "Plus I haven't heard from her in weeks, she's obviously not concerned with me so why should I even give a shit about her." I heard a knock at the door.

"Mon Cheri?" my mother stuck her head in the door.

"Yea, Mom?"

"Are you packed, baby? You're due to leave this weekend you know." She sent down a thick envelope and kissed me on the forehead. "Vous devez sourire souvent, honey. Make sure you call your friends to let them know about the trip."

"But Mère," I started to say, but she had already left. "My…friends?" I mumbled. I hadn't spoken to any of them lately accept Miroku. I opened the envelope my mom had left and dumped the contents next to me. Six plane tickets. Okay great, once again my mother had taken it upon herself to buy more than needed before asking. She had a knack for that. My head whipped around when I heard another knock at my door.

"Hi," She said quietly.

"Kagome," She cut me off quickly.

"I'm really sorry I haven't called or anything. I just had so much going on with the store and my internship." She stepped forward quickly. "But I've been so worried about you and it's so good to see that you're perfectly fine."

I glared at her, skeptically. "Why…are you so nice now?" She blinked, obviously a little confused. She glanced down, playing with the hem of her dress.

"Well, right now, I guess I'm being nice because-" she shrugged. "Maybe I missed you."

"Missed me?"

"Maybe," She smirked. Ah, she was back. Regular, old Kagome. That face was probably the most annoying sexy thing on the planet. Boldly, she joined me on my bed. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to do this because when she glanced up at me she seemed incredibly shy. I almost smiled. How cute. I picked up her plane ticket and handed it to her.

"What's this?" she asked. "Oh, shit! I forgot all about this. Your mom was serious?" I nodded. "Tomorrow night, huh?" I nodded again. She frowned.

"Why are you so quiet?" I shrugged. "Well that's a little rude. I'm here to see you and you won't speak to me."

"Maybe I've got nothing to say,"

"What is your problem, Inuyasha? You're not happy to see me? Is that it? Are we reverting back to the petty little stage of fighting every time we come in contact with each other?" she started to raise her voice.

"Kagome I didn't say shit. I don't know what the hell you're going on about." I huffed, turning away from her.

"Okay, well let me help you out then. Crazy psycho people kidnap you, I nearly have a heart attack, I save you by basically melting a demon by shooting pink light out of my hands, I cared for you…I-I wouldn't even let you family take you out of my sight. Your own mother, Inuyasha!"

I stared at the crazy woman ranting in my bedroom. "Well who the hell asked you to do that?" Okay, big mistake.

"INUYASHA SOME PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO BE ASKED TO HELP OTHERS!" she shrieked. Her face bright red, she leaned over so that she was right in my face. "AND I'M NOT GONNA LET THEM HAVE YOU!" It was silent for a while. I didn't know what to say. She stalked over to me and yanked me by my chin to face her. She looked right into my eyes.

"What?" I said, still refusing to make eye contact with her until I knew she wouldn't give up.

"Stop being a douche," she said firmly. "Don't make me slap you around." I accidentally let a small smile form on my lips. She grinned. "That's better. So how have you been the past couple of weeks?"

"I've just been cooped up in the house with my family. I guess it's safer that way. I just wish we knew what kind of weapons they possessed. Then I wouldn't have to walk around pretending to be scared." He rolled his eyes.

"You're not?"

"Not what?"

"Scared," she said quietly.

"HA! No. That would be my mother. If it were up to me, I'd take them all on. But she's not as willing to let me take the risks as I am." I shrugged, "But I'm excited to be getting out of the country for a while. And to be able to at least go outside."

"Yeah.." she mumbled. "Well, I guess I could give everyone else their tickets. I need to pack! Day after tomorrow we're going to France!" She was so gorgeous. Her eyes shimmered with excitement and anticipation. 'I almost can't help myself. I just want to hold her close to me and tell her how adorable she is.' I thought. Wait…what? She lifted her arms above her head, stretching her torso to its limits, her belly ring shimmering as it caught the light. 'Are you fucking serious?' I looked her up and down as I felt my arousal creeping up on me. And it was quickly making itself known.

"Mmm," she moaned as she relaxed. She hopped up and brushed herself off. "Okay , Inuyasha." She ran over to me. "I'll see you tomorrow?" she gave me a peck on the cheek, which caused a very significant blush to appear on my face. Thankfully she didn't notice and left before it got worse. Or so I thought. She had been gone for about 5 minutes, probably making it all the way to the front door, when she reappeared in my doorway.

"What? What's wrong?" I asked, growing concerned.

"Um…nothing. Well I just got off the phone with Sango." She looked up at the ceiling.

"Okay annnnd?"

"And she and Rin are over at the house with Miroku and Kouga." She slowly brought her eyes down to mine. "So…do you want to come home with me?" I blinked, realizing the blush on my face now probably looked like a bad case of rosacia or something.

"Uh…sure, I guess. Since the boys are there." As I said this, I noticed her expression falter a bit. I shrugged it off. She couldn't possibly want me around just to be with her, could she? I grabbed my jacket and walked downstairs with her. "You have a car here?" she nodded.

The whole ride to her penthouse was a bit awkward. I swore we kept alternating glances at each other, but I was too shy to catch her in the act. "Inuyasha," she said suddenly. I turned to face her. "Um…so do you have a girlfriend?" I looked at her and then threw my head back and laughed.

"HAHAHA! No, no, no, no, no." I waved my hands in front of me. "Had to swear off girls for a while." Her mouth dropped open. "No dummy, I still like them." I rolled my eyes. "Jeez are you retarded? Seriously, the first thing that comes to your mind regarding the situation is that I could possibly bi-curious or something?"

"ANYWAYS," She quickly cut me off. "Why did you swear off girls?" I sighed. I hated telling this story, but I figured if I was taking the girl out of the country with me, she might as well know a little bit about me.

"Because when I was younger I fell in love with a girl named Ava. She was everything to me. Or at least I thought she was. When the Nenhuma Mercês decided to set their sights on me, the first person they came after was her. That little bitch gave me up in a heartbeat and told me she thought I deserved it." I looked away. "She betrayed me willingly. She got a kick out of it."

Kagome's eyes went wide. "That's sick!" she yelled. Her eyes narrowed. "Does she live here?" I looked up at her. "Because I will slap someone don't put it past me, Inuyasha. I've beat down a couple of hoes in my day."

I laughed. "What the hell do you know about beating up hoes?" She raised her eyebrows giving a cocky smirk. "Oh shit Kagome just runs around town beatin' up hoes huh?"

"Sometimes it has to happen." Her expression remained serious for a couple minutes then she threw her head back in laughter. "Sorry. Don't worry about all of that."

"You're funny, Rossi." I smiled at her.

"Oh so we go by last names now, Alexandrov?"

"Maybe," I yanked her in my lap. She blinked, confused. I quickly captured my lips on hers, but immediately regretted it as the sensation was so amazing it caused me to moan audibly into her mouth. I was embarrassed because I was sure this would turn her off. Oh how wrong I was. Hearing my pleasure caused crush her lips even harder against mine. She panted heavily when we pulled apart and immediately raised her head to expose her neck. I ran my tongue of her neck and slowly began sucking on her earlobe. She dug her nails into my skin, trying to suppress her urge to scream from the immense pleasure she was receiving.

I pulled her v-neck blouse down further and was surprised when her breasts came tumbling out of her top. 'Gah! No bra again?! Does this girl want to get pounded or something?' I smirked at my choice of words. They described the exact thing I wanted to do to her. She moaned as I massaged her breasts, flicking her nipples with the pads of my thumbs.

"Mmm, Inu-" she gasped and arched her back to bring her bosom closer to my mouth. I was about to taste them when we felt the car come to a slow stop. We stared into each other's half lidded eyes, dying to finish what we started. But we both knew there were multiple things wrong with this situation. Or were there? She slid out of my lap and opened the door. We had arrived at her building.

KAG POV

I tugged at my top to make sure my boobs were back in place as we boarded the elevator. We walked in to the penthouse to see everyone huddled up in the living room. "Guess what everyone!" I shrieked. They all looked my way in anticipation. "Here are the tickets to France!" We all scrambled to the dining room, except for Kouga, who was utterly confused. Kagome noticed this and walked over to reassure him. "Don't worry Kouga, I realize you had no idea about the trip. But that's okay we have an extra ticket!"

He smiled. "Aw Kagome," grabbing my hands, he looked deep into my eyes, his face closing in. "You always look out for me." He was getting closer…and closer…fuck. I looked at Inuyasha out of the corner of my eye, expecting him to come over and rip Kouga a new one. But he didn't. He didn't even budge. 'What the hell' I thought, pouting inwardly. 'Is chivalry really that dead?' unlike most girls, I liked a little jealousy. I quickly turned my face so Kouga's lips could hit my cheek instead and then smoothly slipped out of his grasp. I was surprised to feel the light tap on my ass immediately after turning away from him. However, I didn't react fast enough.

"HEY!" Inuyasha screamed. "What the fuck, man. Don't touch her! You don't have permission to touch her." Ah yes, there it was. Good old jealousy. I smirked.

"Well who has permission to touch me, Inuyasha?"

"Um I don't really give a fuck about who you let touch you, but I know for a fact it's not Kouga." He stated simply and then turned to leave the conversation. Sango stopped him.

"Oh, it's okay Inuyasha." She patted his back. "He really isn't that bad. Patience, my friend." he huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. Miroku chuckled after watching the scene.

"So…is everyone going to go and pack? Or are we doing that tomorrow? Or…what?" He glanced at everyone, waiting for an answer. Everyone agreed to go and pack and meet back here tomorrow then we'd all ride to the airport together. I stood at the door waving goodbye to Miroku and Kouga. Sango and Rin were going by the store to pick up toiletries. I turned around, coming face to face with Inuyasha.

"You're not leaving?" I asked slyly.

"Nope,"

"Come mai il mio Tesoro?" I said so quietly it was almost a whisper. I knew he could hear with those ears of his. His eyes widened a little at my use of a foreign language. He held eye contact with me for a moment. It seemed like he was struggling to speak.

"God, Kagome." He inhaled the scent of my lavender shampoo. "You can't do things like that."

"Why? It's natural to feel like a bit of an idiot than a girl as intelligent as myself. You're only human after all…okay half human" I chided.

"No…" he smirked.

"No? What-" I snapped my mouth shut as he got closer.

"No..." He squeezed me arms so tight they were pinned to my sides. "It's the demon side that you should worry about." With that he crashed his lips on mine as he picked me up and slammed me against the wall. Ugh, if we kept this up, we'd end up in bed together...but strangely enough, that thought seemed to be more of a fantasy than a nightmare.

R&R!

Just to clarify, Inuyasha and Kagome are NOT together.

Thanks to all who read and review!!

I'm starting the next chapter already!
