Okay yay I'm updating frequently again updates for Crime Life should be 2-3 day's apart (I am writing three story's after all. If you have any desire to know how far along I am in my updates I put my progress on my profile.)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha!

Kagome sat across from Inuyasha in his office, his laptops screen turned toward her with photos flashing across it. Photos of her, all from yesterday and according to Inuyasha they where all from different news sources. News channels, news papers, magazines, blogs, even fan sites for The Blood hounds. Kagome faintly wondered who the hell could possibly be a fan of one of the gangs but dismissed it on the grounds that life in the city itself was much different In the war zone. The people here didn't suffer the chaos the gangs caused. everywhere the gangs were feared but the people here knew if they where at less of a risk, the gangs ran still functioning parts of Japan after all, why would they cause trouble in their own home? she sighed as an image of her running out of Inuyasha car flashed by, followed by the first one of her jumping off the water tower, then one of The Blood Hounds rushing in she was in the front of the photo Talking to Miroku and Kouga, the next image was of her and Inuyasha standing side by side on the water tower, the last image was her from the waist up staring coldly ahead with a wave of people rushing to where Naraku stood in the distance. It was her as she walked away from the battle, "Why am I all over the News?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "you would think that after you had watched a few stories and starred at yourself on my laptop for over an hour you would understand your situation." Kagome blinked at the screen before pulling out a knife and throwing it at the laptop, Inuyasha swiftly pulled it out of range the knife hit the center of his desk, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?"

She glared at the laptop, "I was trying to delete the photos."

He looked at her like she had grown a second head and started throwing flowers around singing about love, "THAT WOULD HAVE ONLY DESTROYED MY LAPTOP!"

She simply 'hmmmed' and pulled her knife from the desk, examining it for scratches.

He sighed, "look Kagome I don't think you understand, everyone in Tokyo is talking about you, most of Japan probably is."

"I know."

"and...your fine with that?"

Her eyes darted from her knife to Inuyasha's face, "no."

"Then why the hell are you so calm?"

She smiled sweetly at him, the same smile from when she met the Thunder Brothers, "Because theres a simple solution. Kill everyone who bothers me about it."

Inuyasha sighed, "yeaah... you cant do that."

"why not?"

"because last night I got a call from Ryo Fukazawa, He wanted an interview with you and I said yes."

"who the hell is he?! why the fuck does he want to interview me!? why the fuck did you agree!?"

"He's the most famous talk show host as of now and he want's to interview you because your Japans hottest topic. I agreed because known criminals or not, I don't like the press at my door, we have to do things like this every now and then after particular bad or odd events to keep things running smoothly."

Kagome glared at him wanting nothing more than to lunge across the desk, gouge out his eyes, then throw him out the window. But instead she took a deep breath, "So let me get this straight, if I don't do this I cant go out to you know work or whatever without cameras in my face?"

He nodded, "most likely."

she flopped back in her chair, "fuuuuuccck! FINE!"

Inuyasha smiled, "good. be ready in two hours."

"WHAT?!"

"you heard me."

Kagome practically screamed, "FINE!" she stormed out of the room to the currently open elevator and proceeded to start smashing Inuyasha's penthouse to bits.

Two hours later:

Inuyasha walked into his apartment and made a mental note to have his secretary buy new furniture while he was gone, lamps where shattered all over the floor, His living room couch was in shreds and unrecognizable bits of furnishing was scattered around the floors as he made his way to the bedroom, stopping at his private study along the way. He was relived to find the only thing she had done to that room was carve the words 'FUCK YOU SCRUFFY' into the wall in several places. when he reached his room -which he assumed was completely untouched because it was her turn in the bed- she was lying on his bed, when he walked in she stood giving him the perfect opportunity to quickly analyze what she was wearing. He was surprised to see that she had chosen a pair black of high heel ankle boots covered with red chains connecting from the top of the heel to the side of her shoes, Black leather skinny jeans, a red metallic looking tube top, and her Bandana around her neck. The sight was shocking, she looked dangerous with her hair pulled back into a tight high pony tail completely straight until the very end when it lashed out in inky black waves, Her surreal blue eyes surrounded with dark rings of black, her lips a deep red matching her metallic top and chains. She played with her fanged bracelet while she examined her red and black nails, "good enough Scruffy?"

Inuyasha doubted she realized just how good of a job she had done, she looked dangerous and alluring. The perfect way for a Blood Hound so close to the top to look when dealing with the public, "Yep, lets go."

She nodded and looked him over, he looked the same as usual with his cargo pants and combat boots, but something was off. She narrowed her eyes, "Your wearing a hat instead of your bandana."

He snorted, "wench its a beanie, it blocks out the noise of large crowds better."

"and a battle isn't a large crowd?"

He smirked, "I like the sounds of battle. now hurry your ass up, we have an interview to get to."

"mmkay." Kagome followed Inuyasha out the door starring at the back of his black t-shirt trying to calm her nerves, She didn't like the idea of everyone suddenly knowing who she was.

Kagome found it odd that Inuyasha chose to take a black car with completely blacked out windows over one of his usual flashy cars, that is until they got to the back gates of the studio, reporters where everywhere when she asked why he laughed cynically, "Damn leaches are hoping to get a glimpse and leak it before the show for better publicity for their companies and shit."

She nodded like she understood what he was talking about, "sooo how does this interview thing work?"

"You just talk to him its not hard...okay maybe for charming people it wouldn't be hard so pretend like he's an investor...just don't hit on him."

she shrugged, "I'm fine with that."

He stopped the car, "Ill be backstage so if you start fucking up find a way to get me out there okay? I know how easy it is for you to piss people off and I don't need any more issues got it?"

"mmmhmm."

"good."

Inuyasha got out of the car and Kagome followed, the moment the back door of the studio opened she was surrounded by noise and the hustle of people she faintly wondered how they would get through the mass of people when Inuyasha started walking, everyone seemed to clear their path automatically. I should have known, the bastard can clear a path anywhere with out a fucking word..god I hate him, he attracts way too much attention.

"Hello hello my darling guest!" Kagome turned toward the voice along with Inuyasha and was met with the sight of yellow hair spiked in every direction and ruby red eyes glittering with a fanged grin.

She regard the man with curiosity he was just so...sparkly. he was wearing tight orange pants and a black button up shirt he barely bothered to button, he had matching black dress shoes on and multiple earrings in his pointed ears, he was covered from head to toe in glitter. "Your Ryo? why is it that all the so called important people are demons? and why the hell are you so sparkly?"

Ryo looked at her surprised for a second before smiling, "You have never seen me before?"

She looked at him seriously, "No. Never in my entire life had I even heard your name until this morning."

A shocked and somewhat mortified look passed over Ryo's face and Kagome could have sworn she heard Inuyasha say something that sounded an awful like 'point blank.' before he spoke up, "She did grow up in the war zone, don't blame her. she can barely turn on a light much less operate the TV correctly."

Kagome glared at him about to say something when Ryo grabbed her by the hand and pulled her off, "Ready hun?"

"huh?"

Before she knew it Ryo had placed her in a plush armchair and sat on the opposite side of her as someone began to count down, The moment they hit one lights blasted onto the stage and Ryo was talking, a smile ever present on his face, "WELCOME beloved viewers! This is Tokyo Today and Im your host Ryo Fukazawa! Todays segment is all about the girl we where wondering about! she has been shrouded in mystery and the talk of the town in less than twenty four hours!" The live crowd Kagome hadn't noticed before burst out in applause before Ryo continued, "Alright! well first off her named Kagome Higurashi and honestly thats all I know about her! what do you say we find out more!?" The crowed applauded again, "Ill take that as a yes!" He turned his attention back to Kagome, "so Kagome lets start with the easy stuff, how old are you?"

She narrowed her eyes at him slightly, she absolutely hated prying people and all of Japan was prying into her life, just remember Kagome. Act like he's an investor. Act like your getting money for this. "Im eighteen."

Ryo smiled, "wow. thats pretty young! your very pretty, are you told that often?"

Kagome raised her brow, "well no. When growing up in the war zone being constantly covered in dirt is a good thing, you don't want to be pretty. If your pretty and your told so you had better be ready to run or kill. theres no such thing as no for a weak person."

"ah. yes I remember you mentioning that you had grown up in the war zone back stage, which war zone?"

"sixty-six."

"Really? thats the war zone where that battle you where seen with Inuyasha took place correct?"

"Yes, I spent the past 4 years in that war zone."

Ryo nodded, "and when did you decided to leave the war zone?"

"when I was given the choice to do so or die."

The crowd and Ryo started to laugh but stopped quickly when realization hit, "oh...your not kidding."

"Nope."

"I see, sorry about that. what where you doing In the war zone until then?"

Kagome grinned at this an pointed at her bandana, "I was killing people for my cause."

Ryo looked at her bandana, "Revenge? thats the basic cause and motto for the Shikon Rebels correct? when did you get into their ranks?"

She scoffed and chuckled darkly, "So what Inuyasha said was true. You all really did underestimate me."

Ryo looked taken aback, "Pardon? Im afraid I don't follow."

She leaned forward with her hand on her chin and her elbow on her knee, eyes narrowed, slight smirk on her face, "I didn't get into their ranks I created them."

The whole crowd gasped along with Ryo, "So you started the Shikon Rebels? you must have been so young, how did you do it?"

Kagome openly glared at him, "That is not something I disclose to anyone."

He nodded, "I see...so being the Rebel leader you where how did you get into The Blood Hounds?"

"Am, I still lead the Shikon Rebels. And as I said It was do so or die."

"die?"

"yes...The day I met my new boss Inuyasha was also the day I tried to plunge a knife through his eye."

"his eye?"

"its my favorite place to aim."

Ryo shifted in his seat, "wow. you sure are dangerous huh?"

She laughed like it was nothing and leaned back in her chair, "You don't even know the half of it. I would do anything to win, anything to reach my goal of revenge."

"Revenge for what?"

"secret. I cant have those responsible catching on to my plans now can I? It would make them harder to slaughter."

to his credit Ryo laughed like what she said wasn't suspicious or scary, "true, very true. So I'm curious what do you think of Inuyasha now? Is it fun being a Blood Hound."

Kagome didn't hesitate or think about her next response, "Scruffy is an annoying bastard I still want to kill the only reason I haven't tried more than once a week is because we have a deal and I don't feel like foolishly breaking it. as for being a Blood Hound..." she raised her bracelet to him, "I may not like being a Blood Bitch very much but a few people are fine and the rest are respectful enough to higher ranks give or take a few idiots, plus I owe The Blood Hound's my life. I know when I am in debt. and honestly Im treated well there, its not as bad as it could be."

"S-Scruffy?"

"Yes. Scruffy, thats what I call Inuyasha, I call his brother Fluffy. you wanna know what I call Naraku?"

Before Ryo could respond Inuyasha was on stage sitting next to her, He looked at Ryo who seemed surprised to see him on the stage at all, everyone knew Inuyasha hated public appearances, "trust me you don't want to know it will start a rant which will lead to a dead body."

Ryo nodded, "well thank's for the warning and thanks for joining us Inuyasha, Mind if I ask your opinion on Kagome?

"She's crazy, ruthless, blunt, sarcastic, annoying, loud, sneaky, sly, and has scary accurate aim. Overall she's a very lethal person but very useful."

Kagome smiled, "Inuyasha I promise, we are both very useful."

He looked at her cooly, "She's not exactly someone I trust completely though."

She rolled her eyes, "Im trustful. trust me. Anyways Ryo, is there anything else you wanted to know about me."

the yellow haired host smiled, "yes actually! what on earth was that fight about yesterday?"

Kagome looked to Inuyasha who was staring at her one dark brow raised, she smiled, "Well...West Kingdom decided to drop by and visit my rebels as repayment for me trying to kill their leader and it ended in bloodshed, when the leader of The Spiders showed up, all went to hell. thats all you really need to know."

Inuyasha smirked as if he approved of her statement. Ryo caught this and nodded, not wanting to over step his bounds with the gang leader, "I see. You both seem to have an interesting relationship, difficult really. any Idea on how long this alliance might last?"

Inuaysha and Kagome spoke at once, "as long as it takes."

Ryo raised a yellow brow, "takes for what?"

the two stayed in sync "victory./revenge."

Ryo furrowed his brows, "well its nice to know you two are on the same page."

Kagome smiled and put her hand on Inuyasha's arm, "hey it works for us so why not? no one can say our life is boring."

The rest of the interview went by quickly with simple chatting mainly revolving around Kagome's transition from war zone to city life. when she reached Inuyasha's car she collapsed in the front seat, "that was horrible!"

he chuckled, "really? I think you did good enough, could have used a bit more charm but hey no one died, thats better than what I was expecting."

She sent him a glare, "I hate you."

"I know."

"Buy me dinner."

He started the car and sent her a look that screamed, 'are you fucking shitting me right now?'

"I had to smile and talk to people about myself, I had to come out of hiding. people know who I am now! buy. me. dinner."

"fine! where do you wanna go?"

"I dont know you pick, just make it fattening and tons of it."

He shrugged and drove off to the first place that came to mind, an old diner downtown, when he pulled up to the place after a long drive of Kagome complaining about her 'hunger pains' like some overly hormonal pregnant woman, he practically ran from the car. She quickly followed and looked around at the miss matched tables and old grey tile, she shrugged and followed Inuyasha to a booth. When they sat down he gave her a pointed look, "happy?"

She waved her hand at him in dismissal as she looked through her menu, grinning when the waitress arrived, "Ill have a chocolate milkshake, a tripple cheeseburger with bacon, a side of onion rings...extra large, a cherry pop, annnd a slice of mud pie."

The waitress blinked at her before slowly nodding and turning to Inuyasha, "and you doll?"

He shrugged, "same I guess."

She nodded again before looking back at Kagome, "hey..weren't you just on the television?"

Kagome sent her a cold glare, "no, I was just out murdering thirty people if you really must know."

The girl 'eeeeped' before rushing off to place their order. when she had gone Inuyasha leaned back in his chair, "well aren't we bitchier than usual."

"well aren't we an overly consistent asshole."

He rolled his eyes, "hey are you really gonna eat all that crap you ordered?"

"yepp."

"you sure you can?"

she looked at him head cocked to the side, "whats that supposed to mean?"

"girls usually eat less, a lot less."

She called him a sexist pig under her breath before her eyes widened in realization, "are you trying to call me fat?"

He rolled his eyes, "no. If I thought you where fat I would have already said so and if your fat then I worry greatly for some people."

Kagome snorted, playing with her spoon, "you? worry? about other people? don't make me laugh." He didn't respond for a few minutes so she looked up to find him starring at her, He didn't seem angry to her he seemed curious more than anything else. she frowned as the waitress gave them both their milkshakes before making a quick retreat. when the woman was gone Kagome took a spoon full of whip cream mumbling between bites. "what?"

He shook his head, "nothing, I'm just surprised your still the same."

she froze, mouth full of whip cream and milkshake, "huh?"

He would have laughed at the sight of one of the deadliest women he knew sitting there with a dumbfounded look and chocolate milkshake running down her chin had he not been so serious with where he was trying to lead the conversation. He sighed, "after I kissed you, not a single thing changed in the way you act toward me good or bad."

she looked down at her now empty milkshake before shrugging and sipping her cherry pop, "why would I? Kisses are nothing to you, your a whore after all. Plus if I got all worked up about a time you where clearly delusional work would be a lot slower."

He blinked at her and opened his mouth when the waitress came and gave them their food, which she quickly began to devour, when they had both finished he looked at her, "seriously? you are so not normal."

She rolled her eyes, "what? you want me to run away every time you come around or drool over you? not gonna happen."

He shrugged and paid the bill, "well I figured that much, Im just not used to it."

"ha! well sorry buddy, a kiss will never bother me especially not one of yours!"

Inuyasha growled as they reached his car, what the hell is that supposed to mean? "feh." Before Kagome could walk to her side of the door he pulled her to him and sealed his lips over hers.

Kagome's eye's widened in surprise, I have been trying to forget that moment in the elevator and here he is kissing me again!. She felt her legs weaken as his arms tighten around her, this kiss was different, it was angry, rough, like a challenge. before she knew it she was kissing him back, she was never one to run from a challenge, she threw as much frustration and hatred into the kiss as she possibly could and fisted a hand into his hair causing him to growl. He bit her lower lip before running his tongue over it, causing her to gasp. before she knew what was happening he was exploring her mouth, tasting her, it was the most intimate moment of her life and she was spending in pressed against a car door by the man she was sure she hated. She pulled away to tell him just that, "I fucking hate you."

He looked her in the eyes, "I know."

Then he was kissing her again both their eyes still locked, hatred, anger, confusion, and pain burned through the both of them, It was to much for Kagome to look into his amber eyes, she was afraid they would capture her. So instead she closed her eyes and bit his bottom lip just as he did hers, soon their tongue's where intertwined again, fighting for dominance. His hands where sliding down her back when the clearing of a throat brought them out of their strange, private, battle. She looked up to see Miroku, Sango, Rin, Kouga, and Shippo standing there in the parking lot, each with a different look of shock painted on their face. Miroku, who was over his shock and grinning like a perverted bastard next to a wildly blushing Sango was the first to speak, "Sorry to Interrupt your little parking lot party boss but we had gotten worried with how long you two where gone and got a message from the shikon rebels, neither of you where picking up your phone so we had Shippo track your car."

Inuyasha snorted and pulled away from Kagome who's face was redder than his favorite car, out of anger or embarrassment he couldn't tell, "and you all came why?"

Kouga who was looking anywhere but at Kagome and Inuyasha spoke next, "we where all worried and figured if there was a problem it's best if where where all here."

Inuyasha faintly heard Rin mutter, "looks like all of us coming was the worst possible idea."

He snorted, "yeah well as you can see Im fine, any other problems?"

Shippo who was blushing and starring at the concrete, "well actually we got a complaint from Kikyo about her new placement...but that can wait."

Before Inuyasha could speak Kagome did, "The bitch complained? she's lucky she just got a new placement I would have killed her." she looked at Inuyasha thoughtfully for a second, "she must have been one hell of a screw huh dog boy?"

He shrugged, "she was okay I guess, we just need her for her Miko powers."

Kagome smiled sweetly, "I know, he super pure energy must come in handy, I wish I had a soul as pure as hers!"

Inuyasha smirked and everyone else snickered at Kagome's sarcastic tone. once he was sure he could keep a straight face Inuyasha spoke up, "so what was her complaint?"

Shippo shifted on his feet nervously causing Kagome to approach the younger boy, "hey Shippo, whatever it is, the bimbo's complaint isn't your fault. don't freak okay?" she ruffled his hair smiling down at him.

It was the oddest thing any of them had ever seen, Kagome wasn't ever that affectionate to people maybe Hojo or one of her old childhood friends but never one of The Blood Hound's. even when trying to be nice to them it seemed awkward. It had always been clear affection was hard for Kagome to express but here she was reassuring and affectionate towards one of them and somehow to them it seemed right. Inuyasha was the first to snap out of his daze, slightly annoyed that Kagome, the craziest, bitchiest woman he had ever known was being nice to the little runt. Sango or Rin I could understand but why the hell Shippo? He dismissed the thought on the grounds that the women was just having one of her mood swings and a major one at that, "Oi Shippo! get on with it."

The young fox demon nodded, "Well it was a very long, large worded, cold email but basically she doesn't think she's High enough in the ranks."

Inuyasha and Kagome snorted at once in response. The group looked at the pair oddly before Rin piped up, "soooo Kagome...can me and Sango drive you home? we are just dying to know about the interview."

Kagome shrugged and walked towards her two friends, "sure why not."

She gave a quick, dismissive wave goodbye to the group of men before following the girls to Rin's orange car. Kagome didn't question the absurd color, she didn't have the time to, the moment they where all buckled in and out of the parking lot, Rin squealed, "HOLY CRAP! that was the hottest most passionate thing I have ever seen!"

Sango nodded in agreement from the passenger seat, "yeah that was really really heated, you both seemed kind of angry though."

Kagome rolled her eyes trying not to blush, "It was angry very angry. I threw as much hate into that kiss as I could, I was hoping to kill him with it."

Rin snickered, "ah I see, hoping he would choke on your tongue? from the looks of it, it was shoved so far down his throat he probably should have."

Sango roared with laughter, which Kagome ignored in favor of denial, "I did not shove my tongue down his throat, and it wasn't even that heated."

Sango whirled around in her chair to face Kagome, "BULLSHIT! your hands looked like they where going to become a perminate attachment to his head and his well his where going on an adventure!"

Rin giggled, "Im sure they would have had a much easier time with their adventure if Inuyasha hadn't had her pressed against both the car and him so tightly in an attempt to meld their two bodies together."

The two girls grinned and Kagome practically growled, "WAS NOT! I HATE HIM!"

they looked at her and spoke in unison, "we know."

Sango laughed lightly, "bet the angry sex would rule though."

Rin nodded, "hot, passionate, 'I fucking hate you!', angry sex. you should remember that Kagome. I mean you cant deny your attraction to him."

Kagome huffed, "I have never been attracted to anyone in my entire life."

"yeah until you made out with your boss in a parking lot."

Kagome kicked their seats, "OH SHUT UP IT WAS INSTINCT HE FUCKING KISSED ME FIRST!"

the two girls in the front seat shared a look but said nothing for the rest of the drive, they both knew Inuyasha hand't kissed a women in years, well not on the lips anyway. while they pondered the new discovery Kagome spent the rest of the drive mentally berating herself for kissing the annoying silver haired man back.

there it took longer than I thought because grandpa had to be checked into a home, its been stressful on the family.
