Hello again.

"Inuyasha." Kagome glared down at the sleeping Hanyo in bed beside her and tugged on one of his ears, hard. "INUYASHA!"

The sliver haired male scrambled up into a sitting position, "WHAT THE FUCK WOMAN?!"

She looked at him annoyed, "why are we in bed together?"

He rolled his eyes, "Hey we are technically a couple now, why wouldn't we be in bed together?"

Kagome blinked, "well...that makes sense...but I cant remember getting into bed with you..."

"you where drunk, very drunk. apparently you have a taste for fine wine."

Kagome smiled slightly remembering last night after she blew up the warehouse when Inuyasha and her left. She had insisted on getting the best damn italian food they could and he took her to some seriously wallet busting place that normally required a dress code...after he insisted that is he was stuck paying for over priced pasta she was going to look 'like a fucking goddess everyone wished they could fuck'...hence the long black gown that was currently...well not on her. She lifted Inuyasha sheets and looked down at her underwear clad form, "uhhh...I don't remember much after the carbonara...did we...?"

Inuyasha gave her a pointed look, "if I fucked you, your clothes wouldn't just be in my living room from where you striped 'out of your confinements' they would be in shreds all over the room and you would be sore. really fucking sore."

She tried not to blush but failed miserably, "okay...so that explains why im not in anything but my underwear...but what about you, why are you only in your boxers?"

He grinned at her, "well you see apparently you didn't like my 'confinements' either so you started stripping me, I enjoyed it too much to make you stop. Did you know you have this lovely way of running your fingers across each bit of exposed skin as if your trying to memorize it?"

Kagome groaned and flopped back down onto the bed, "oh. My. God. I did not really strip you did I?"

"you passed out when we where getting to the good part."

"good part?"

"you where on your knees removing my boxers with your teeth."

She covered her face with her hands wanting to disappear, "I didn't really do that did I?"

He chuckled, "Nah. you passed out when you practically ripped my pants off and I kissed you. I had to carry you here"

"that...thats so not better...why did you get me drunk?"

"I didn't get you drunk I just kept ordering wine and you kept drinking it, now c'mere and go back to sleep."

Kagome was about to ask him what he meant when telling her to come to him, she was already in his bed after all, when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest. her eyes widened when he tucked her head under his chin, she would be lying if she said she wasn't comfortable with the way she was pressed against him. "hey...Inuyasha.."

Inuyasha stroked her hair absently, "I said for you to go to sleep."

"but..."

He rolled his eyes, "what?"

"Thanks for letting me blow up that warehouse...and thanks for carrying me to your bed instead of you know the couch."

"feh. no problem, your cute when your drunk anyway."

"what does that have to do with anything."

"I dont want an ugly drunk in my bed."

Kagome smacked him on the arm, "your such an ass."

"go to bed. its only five the sun's not even up yet plus we came home like two hours ago. you need to sleep pet."

She Simply nodded feeling her eyes drift closed as Inuyasha stroked her hair.

Inuyasha sighed watching the sleeping girl in his arms, their outing had been interesting to say the least and she had looked breathtaking in that gown. He smiled to himself recalling the alluring way it hugged her curves and the even more alluring way it slid down her body as she removed it, he had to admit even watching her try on dress after dress until one got his approval was fun. She turned normal annoying dress shopping into quite the affair, she probably shouldn't have in such an expensive store but he was just too damned entertained to care. The way she danced around in each dress complaining about random things in the most profanity filled ways she possible could had made him smile, She insisted on using the mini runway and used it to the fullest strutting around like she owned the place. Afterwords she said the whole thing was stupid of course but he knew differently, her face lit up the moment she walked into the store surrounded by all those dresses. He also noticed the way her face would fall after she glanced at the price tag on each one, he never told her that he had taken her to the most expensive dress store in tokyo and that almost every dress in there was only made once in each size...if not only once period. He didn't see the point figuring she wouldn't care about how much it cost as long as she got her food, the moment he realized he was wrong he had the women assigned to help Kagome with her dresses remove the price from each one the raven haired rebel tried on. Kagome had of course caught on quickly and started asking the women to which he insisted she never told Kagome. he won that little battle, he was the one paying for the dress after all. In the end Kagome had managed to find a shimmery black gown she liked and he enjoyed watching her walk in. It was simple for her flashy taste and he knew she hoped it meant that it was cheaper. The fact that she cared intrigued him, women he bought things for always found the pricer the better, he didn't mind because it kept them quite about their lack of connections to him but he actually wanted those connections to Kagome. For that he was perfectly prepared to buy out the entire store, something he would never have done for anyone else. He smiled again remembering the way she glared at him as he handed the saleswomen his card along with the matching black pumps in Kagome's size. He could tell she wanted to know how much he had spent but there was no way he was letting her on that one. that was a secret between him and his credit card. She got over it when she walked into the restaurant, she loved the view of Tokyo it provided and the food she was served. He was slightly surprised at her elegant manners, someone who grew up on the streets should never have had but accepted it as another thing Kagome had taught herself just in case. Table manners or not her language didn't improve -not that he minded- and the two of them spent dinner talking and entertaining themselves with useless sarcastic battles. before he knew it they had gone through several bottles of wine, quite some time had passed, and she was drunk. He payed and escorted her out of the restaurant, the ride back home was mostly her playing with his ears while he tried to focus on driving without pulling over and pouncing on her. He figured that would be the hard part of their journey home. he was dead wrong. The moment he walked into the front doors of The Blood Hound headquarters they were greeted by the members of the team from earlier that day. Sango was livid that they had to stay up so late, worried about where the hell he and Kagome had gone when they were only supposed to go out for dinner. Then Rin pointed out their state of dress and the very drunk Kagome on his arm. he had just shrugged off their questions and taken Kagome up the the penthouse. where her drunkness really kicked in, leading him to now, he looked at her once more in his bed and chuckled, before freezing.

Kagome didn't remember jack shit after her pasta.

Meaning she didn't know Sango and Rin along with several other Blood Hounds saw her drunk and giggly, clinging to him like an air headed school girl. She was going to kill him when she found out, there was no was she intended for anyone to ever see that, probably not even him. He glanced down at the sleeping girl in his arms as she shifted and muttered something in her sleep that sounded scarily along the lines of a request for explosives. yep, he was so dead...unless he could get his men on the down low, starting with Rin and Sango, he carefully slid out of bed and pulled on some swears before he dialed Sango's number as he left the room. He leaned against the wall until he heard sango's groggy hello on the line, He growled at the phone, "not a word to Kagome. pass that on to Rin too."

He heard Sango's breath hitch, "oh my god she doesn't remember anything does she? you got her that drunk?!"

Inuyasha growled again, "Feh. I can get her as drunk as I want, just mind your own business and don't say a fucking word. or else."

"okay...wow Inuyasha actually you can't, she's too young to drink and she totally has a shit ton to fill me and Rin in on soooo no I will not keep quite."

"Sango." he spat out her name angrily, "we blow up buildings, smuggle weapons in and out of other countries, murder people, Im pretty sure most of my men are rapists, and your complaining about drinking of all things?! when she does that my place all the time anyways! I let the women blow up a warehouse and she kills people but she cant have some wine?"

He heard a door open and close on the line, he assumed it must be the fridge. Sango sighed, "...you just let her do whatever the fuck she wants don't you? where did you take her to get drunk anyways?"

Inuyasha grunted, "she wanted the best damn Italian food she could get so I took her to Bella Luce."

Sango gasped through the phone, "no way! well that explains her gown...but wow Inuyasha...I have never been there myself but I heard its incredibly hard to get a reservation and its like one of those one in a life time proposal restaurants if people ever go there...how the hell did you get in?"

Inuyasha glared at the phone, "Do you know who I am?"

"well yeah-"

"So does everyone else I can get in wherever the fuck I want. are we done now? are you gonna keep your mouth shut?"

Sango huffed, "why does it need to be a secret?"

"did you see her last night?"

"...I get your point she would kill all of us. okay Ill tell Miroku and Rin to keep their traps shut."

Inuyasha muttered a faint 'you better' before hanging up the phone and heading into the kitchen. He looked at the clock to see it was nearly eight and his stomach growled. He opened his fridge, not wanting to actually leave his apartment to get food in the cafeteria, groaning when he found it empty of all contents that could possibly classify as breakfast, "damn it."

His ear twitched as a door softly closed somewhere in the apartment and soft footfalls drifted into his ears he looked up as Kagome entered the kitchen, she was wearing one of his black dress shirts, looking both adorable and sexy. He simply stared at her for a moment debating is he should just eat her for breakfast when his stomach growled again, remind him she wasn't exactly the breakfast he needed. She smirked at him, "hungry?"

He grunted in reply, "you offering to cook?"

She shrugged and cocked her head to the side, wincing slightly at the movement, "you brew some coffee and fetch some whiskey and Ill make us some steak and eggs."

Inuyasha grinned inwardly at the prospect of Kagome's cooking before nodding, "yeah sure...whats the whisky for"

"Im hung over."

"...so your gonna drink more?"

"yep."

"Idiot."

She glared at him from across the counter, "Its your fault I have this stupid headache!"

"booze isnt gonna fix your headache only put it off then make it worse."

she grinned suddenly, "maybe giving you one will."

Before he could react Kagome lunged across the counter and tackled him to the floor. he landed on his back with a grunt, "WHAT THE HELL KAGOME!?"

Kagome wince, "not so loud! She looked down at him and giggled from her place on his chest, "does your head hurt now scruffy?"

"Feh. woman my head always hurts around you."

Kagome was about to ask him what the hell he meant by that when the buzzer went off, signaling someone below wanted to be let in, Inuyasha stood causing her to roll onto the floor, "you expecting someone scruffy?"

"No. Theres some medicine in the bathroom cabinet, get that and start breakfast while I see who it is."

Kagome nodded and pulled out the ingredients for breakfast before walking off to the bathroom.

Once she left Inuyasha walked to the elevator doors and hit the buzzer, "what?"

"Boss its Kikyo...I have something you might want to know."

Inuyasha glared at the intercom before reluctantly letting Kikyo up once the elevator doors opened revealing the dark haired women he sighed, "what is it?"

Kikyo took in his shirtless form, "well-"

"Yaaaasha, breakfast is ready!"

Inuyasha's ears stood at full attention and swiveled in the direction of Kagome's unusually seductive and sing-songy voice, he turned to see Kagome sauntering towards him, plate in hand. His eyes widened at the sight, his black shirt had been buttoned down revealing the top of her ample cleavage and cobalt blue bra, the silver lace trim teasing him. Her hair had been ruffled making it look like someone had just showed her her way around the sheets, thoroughly. Unsure if he could actually speak he nodded at her and took the plate before leading to two women into the kitchen. Kikyo looked at her for a second, lips thinning into a fine line, "Kagome. if you wouldn't mind..."

Kagome raised a brow at her, "what?"

Kikyo sighed, "I think you missed a few buttons."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "I didn't miss any. Inuyasha has no problem with it and its my home, not yours. Im sorry if you don't know what cleavage looks like but I can assure you its normal. and like I said Yasha has no problem with it," she turned to look at Inuyasha who was pouring himself some coffee, "Right Ya-sha?"

The moment she faced him his eyes drifted down to her chest, that coupled with her sugary voice made him want to chuck Kikyo out the window and bed his raven haired rebel over the counter. somewhere in the back of his mind he knew Kagome was only doing this to annoy Kikyo and it somehow turned him on a little bit more, deciding not to linger on that revelation he took a sip of his coffee, "mmmhhmm no problem, you can walk around naked if you want, c'mere Ill help you outa the shirt...and your panties Ill help you outa those too. we can go nudist if you want. That seems like a fun idea."

Kikyo's lips turned downward in a look of disgust despite her effort to remain passive and poised, Kagome rolled her eyes at Inuyasha's words half wanting to pummel him. Then an Idea struck her, Kikyo was here making it impossible for him to do anything, "you know it is pretty hot."

Inuyasha was halfway through a bite of eggs when Kagome unbuttoned her shirt and threw it on the floor before walking off taking her plate with her. Inuyasha watched her go eves glued to her Brazilian pantie clad rear, I love that ass...He suddenly stood and followed Kagome into the living room where she was lounging on the couch eating. He barely noticed Kikyo following him until she tugged on his arm, He growled in annoyance, "what Kikyo?"

Kagome stifled a laugh, knowing Inuyasha blatant ignoring would annoy the other girl to no ends. Kikyo had tried to get his attention topless once as Kagome recalled and was ignored then too, the fact Kagome was still covered and was getting so much of Inuyasha's attention just had to annoy the hell out of her. Kagome was proven right when Kikyo cleared her throat, "Inuyasha I'm over here."

Inuyasha tore his eyes from Kagome's deliciously smooth skin to glance at Kikyo, Yes I know your there I keep hoping you would you know, go away so I can free Kagome from her rather restricting bra. thank you for pointing out the obvious Kikyo. "Yeah I know. so be a good girl and talk."

Kikyo ground her teeth together as Inuyasha sat next to Kagome on the huge couch and began running his fingers through her hair, never taking his eyes of her barley covered body, "I just wanted to tell you that there are rumors spreading about your new...how was it put? oh yes, your new drunken slut."

Suddenly Kagome didn't find the little game she was playing as much fun as she had originally thought. she sat up abruptly, "what did you just call me you little fucking whore?!"

Inuyasha, who had torn his eyes away from Kagome to glare at Kikyo waited for the women's response. He dreaded it when she finally spoke up, "Its not what I said, although I agree...Someone from your team yesterday said You and Inuyasha came back very late last night and you were drunk off your ass, clinging to him and giggling like some stupid slut."

The world seemed to freeze for a second before Kagome spun around to Inuyasha, "Did I really do that?!"

Inuyasha cleared his throat, "well...I wouldn't say you were acting like some stupid slut.."

"but did I do that!?"

He slowly nodded his head, "yeah...you were pretty drunk, apparently drunk Kagome's are clingy and giggly."

The color drained from Kagome's face then rushed back in a fury, "I am...NEVER DRINKING WITH YOU AGAIN!" with that she thew a pillow at his head and stormed out of the room.

Inuyasha glared at Kikyo and let a growl tear through his throat, "out!" Kikyo quickly did as she was told, smiling to herself as she rode down the elevator. when she left Inuyasha rushed to his room, to find a dressed Kagome brushing out her hair, "Ka-"

"SHUT UP YOU DAMN DOG!"

Inuyasha growled again and grabbed Kagome's wrist halting her hair brushing, "don't fucking start Kagome."

She glared at him, "I go out with you once and now my rep is probably like that sluts! and you expect me to be just fine?!"

He didn't, he knew it would upset her. Kagome prided herself on her strict relationships and focus, having a rumor spread she was nothing more than a slut off the street was bound to upset her, Hell he was pissed off too, "No Pet I don't expect you to be just fine. But taking it out on me is only gonna get us both pissed."

She ran a hand through her hair, "Im not like her!"

"I know your not." Inuyasha walked up and wrapped his arms around her waist, "your so much different, better. You don't mind getting your hands dirty, your determined, loud, rebellious, wild, exotic, and so much more. your Kagome, downright beautiful and dangerous. you would sooner slaughter everyone on the planet then jump off a roof before letting someone you find unworthy even breath the same air as you."

Kagome smiled to herself and Inuyasha kissed her neck lightly, She sighed, "you sure Im different...I mean, I feel like Im replacing her."

Inuyasha let his hand roam her body, "If your a replacement your one hell of an upgrade."

She glared at him.

He chuckled, "I never loved her, she was a toy nothing more. I threw her away because I found a partner, a playmate if you will, what kid wants a crappy old doll when they find something real, especially when that something real hates the damn doll."

Kagome rolled her eyes at his analogy, "did you really just call me your playmate?"

"yep...wanna have a slumber party? we can play doctor."

"doctor?"

"yeah...Ill even buy you a nurse costume."

Kagome felt her eyes widen, okay...what is this man into? "no."

"hmmm then can we play the newlywed game?"

"no."

"cops and robbers?"

She pursed her lips, "isn't that an actual game?"

He grinned against her neck, "oooh yeah its a game all right baby, I can just see you in that tight little cop skirt..."

Kagome blushed wildly, "No to that too."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "...wanna be my pet cat?"

"are you a furry?!"

"are you?"

Kagome glared at him in the mirror, about to smack him and tell him there was no way in hell she was into that when she glanced at his ears twitching on his head. Her eyes widened in realization, how many times had she wanted to rub his ears? how often did she think about tasting his fangs? doesn't she love the way his claws run through her hair? "oh my god Im a furry!"

Inuyasha choked on air, "how the fuck did you decide that!?"

"LOOK AT YOU!"

Inuyasha instantly caught her meaning, "Hey I'm half dog technically its beastiality on your part."

Kagome groaned, "ew ew ew ew ew! GROSS!"

"hey! I take offense to that! besides if we are going by that way of thinking Im technically into beastiality too, humans are animals and so not my species."

"can you shut up now?!"

"will you play teacher with me?"

Kagome glared at him, "you did not just ask that!"

"mmmmm, imagining you in that outfit is heaven. Im sure you would look great in a pencil skirt and thigh highs...shirt torn open bent over the wood desk. id hike up that tight skirt and use one of those damn rulers...punish you for being a bad teacher...so bad...so wet...so bad."

Kagome stared at him as he muttered away about punishing her for being a bad teacher, she couldn't decide if she was revolted by the fantasy he had clearly thought about before or turned on by the though of him doing such dirty things to her. she chose to go for the angry disgusted angle because she so didn't want to admit to herself that his fantasy would probably pass though her head again, "INUYASHA!"

"huh what? would you prefer maid and master?"

Kagome glared at him, "how many fantasies do you have?!"

"does that include the ones with the same sort of outfit just different scenarios?"

She shook her head, "your such a fucking dog! can we just get people to shut up about my drunkness?"

"can we play-"

"NO!"

He huffed in disappointment, "god fine, apparently nothing turns you on."

"thats so not true, maybe I just want someone sweeter."

"bad teachers don't like things sweet."

"Im not a bad teacher."

"not yet your not. besides you like it when we fight it gets you hot to have sparks flying. I can smell your arousal you know."

Kagome blinked at him, "Oh really can you smell my when I'm ovulating too then?"

"yes. and when your on your fuckin period."

She winced, "okay too much info...can we go now."

Inuyasha grinned and walked off to pull on a shirt before leading Kagome from the apartment, "You know Pet, I thought you would get mushy on me after the whole 'I love you' thing but your still just as sadistic, sarcastic, and cunning."

Kagome huffed as they walked out of his office and headed down to the cafeteria where most people where bound to be, "didn't we already go over this? There was no fucking way thats happening."

He chuckled, "good, and Pet, one more thing."

"hhhmm?"

He opened the door to the cafeteria and pushed her in, "You have always been one to fight your own battles, if it takes a little bit of blood and a possible body count so be it. just prove em wrong." with that he shut the door and walked off.

The moment the door shut and Kagome turned around, things went completely silent. She glared at the room, "what the fuck are you all staring at?"

the rest of Inuyasha's top six looked at her concerned, knowing full well someone had spread rumors and over half the blood hounds now saw Kagome as a gold digging slut. They of course knew she wasn't like that at all, they all knew that Kagome and Inuyasha's relationship was in no way simple and none of them could say that they really understood it. but that didn't mean they didn't realize how much the two actually cared for the one another. Sango and Rin glared at a few people that muttered about Kagome being a whore and where about to start screaming when Miroku spoke up, "Hey guys why is Kagome locking the door?"

All five people looked at Kagome who had indeed locked the door, she spun on her stilettos and smiled sweetly at the room, instantly they knew that something was about to go seriously wrong. their point was proven when one of the men in the crowd shouted out, "HEY KA-GO-ME IM SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT IM NOT SURE YOU CAN TAKE US ALL AT ONCE! I MEAN I'D LOVE TO GIVE YOU A RIDE BUT LETS FACE IT BABE IM NOWHERE NEAR RICH ENOUGH AND IM NOT SURE I WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU HAVE REALLY BEEN ON THE STREETS YOUR WHOLE LI-"

He was cut of by a knife straight into his throat, he fell backwards, choking on his own blood as it dyed the stale white floors. She was still smiling as she watched him squirm and stop moving abruptly when he no longer had the blood to sustain life, that or her drowned in his own blood. she honestly didn't care which, "so...who started that rumor?"

she stood at the door still, holding another knife for her next shot. Sango was the first to speak, "Uh...Kagome I don't think boss is gonna like that-"

"dont worry Sango, my boyfriend told me I could kill who I wanted as long as it made me feel like I had my honor back." Kagome threw the knife in the air, watching the light bounce off it before she scanned the crowed, "so, who started that fucking rumor?"

The chef Nora was the next to speak, "boyfriend huh? I s'pose that means you found out why he spent millions putting you back together. did yah check with those who saw you two when you both got home last night dear?"

Kagome smiled at the huge women, "actually Nora...Im a tad hung over."

The chef cackled, "how the hell did the boss man manage to get you drunk, your always dinkin and I haven't ever even seen yah buzzed."

"ehhhh? well I didn't think about it much...it was good wine though."

Nora nodded, "well okay then, remember Kagome your a smart girl and when I said your always welcome here I mean it, even if your holding a large group of people hostage. want some breakfast?"

She shook her head, "Nah, I made me and Scruffy breakfast this morning so i'm good."

Nora simply smiled at Kagome before turning to glare at ever other Blood Hound, "I aught to spit in your food you bumbling idiots, believing such stupid things about such a smart girl." with that she stomped back into the kitchen mumbling about the 'idiots all around her.'

The next Blood Hound to speak was cautious, "so...your not some easy slut?"

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, "I spent my entire life trying to preserve my virginity no way am I giving it up to just anyone."

A demon women sneered, "so our boss isn't just anyone, our rich boss is fine? you damn street rat."

that women got a knife to the shoulder, Kagome rolled her eyes as the women yowled in pain, "no dog boy is fine because he's a worthy man. this has nothing to do with money."

another women scoffed, "I saw a picture of your dress from last night, do you know how much that thing had to cost? where the hell did you go anyway?"

"Its none of your fucking business where I went with my man, I just want to know WHO STARTED THE FUCKING RUMOR! DONT FUCKING MAKE ME SERIOUS, YOU WONT LIKE ME WHEN IM SERIOUS!"

Kagome was met with a chorus of names, but one kept popping up in particular, Kikyo. Kagome grit her teeth, of course she would do this. Kagome huffed, "SHUT UP! okay fine! I got what I wanted oh and just for the record you assholes, I AM NOT A SLUT!"

With those words echoing though the room she ripped open the door and stormed down the hall, she was beyond pissed. She was quickly greeted by Inuyasha, "you really killed a man?"

"your surprised?"

"that it was only one? yeah. So did you collect your honor and find out who-"

"Kikyo."

Inuyasha nodded, "ah. that explains her odd request for a mission, she just left."

Kagome whirled on him, "WHAT?!"

"just beat her up when you get back, does it really matter pet?"

"no...but seriously Im never getting drunk with you again The aftermath suck ass."

He grinned at me devilishly, "yeah and its about to get worse. see yah."

"wha?"

Suddenly she was talked by both Rin and Sango, the two squealing girls pulled her all the way to Rin's room and sat her on the bed, "TELL US EVERYTHING!"

Kagome put her head in her hands, "ugh guys shut up, Im currently dealing with the aftermath of too much wine."

The two girls giggled and then Launched into questioning mode.

I. HATE. UPDATING. FROM. MY. PHONE!
