Chapter Four: Miroku's Surprise

Kagome awoke the next morning for work as chipper and cheery as always, she put on her uniform and was humming a tune to herself as she was out the door coffee in hand and a bagel in the other hand, she turned on her favorite music station as she was driving to her job at the local clinic, where she was a phlebotomist and also she now drove some of the bags to the clinic recently since their other driver wasn't available as of late, for that she made overtime, which in her eye's was a very good thing indeed.

Inuyasha woke up and the first thing he smelled was the blood of his next door neighbor singing to his senses, as she went to work. He had made a decision he was going to do one of the two things drink the damn girls blood enough to satisfy the hunger but not leave any permanent effects on her or quit his job and move away permanently. He was not ready to leave, he rather liked his small but efficient house in the tiny neighborhood, it was quiet and almost nobody bothered him, except for his neighbor Miroku who would come over and ask advice every once in awhile, the man was hopelessly in love with his girlfriend who he was living with and wanted a man to talk to about things, and unfortunately for Inuyasha that someone happened to be Miroku, ever since he discovered him hiding behind that crate the man won't leave him alone. He keeps nagging him about having feelings for the wench Kagome, he would just show up and as much as Inuyasha hated to admit it he liked the male company.

Miroku was on his way to his friend Yash's house, the man was weird a loner, but he was also a very good listener, and he needed some help if he was going to do this right, he loved Sango and she deserved to know that. He had found the perfect diamond ring and had immediately bought it thinking of his dear sweet Sango, it was a gold band with three small princess cut diamonds that glistened beautifully in the light. The ring cost him a lot of money but to him it was totally worth it to finally have his Sango who he had a huge crush on since grade school.

Inuyasha was up and walking around in his red silk robe and boxers that had red and black flames on them, he had a cup of red wine in his hand, since he didn't have any blood it was a nice substitute. Just than there was a knock at the door, Inu rolled his eyes, it was that damn Miroku again, he didn't really feel like dealing with that man and his love sick self today, his fangs were slightly sticking up as he had not fed in over twelve hours, and he was very thirsty for blood, that damn wenches blood. He decided to ignore the knocking at the door and threw on a red shirt and black pants, with black boots, throwing his hair up into a messy pony-tail he waited for the man to give up. Miroku was surprised to find that his friend Yash wasn't answering the door, so defeated he decided to turn to his next best thing his brother Koharu, although they didn't speak very often he was sure that his brother could help him out, so leaving a note for Yash that he came by he left and headed for his brothers house a few blocks away.

After seeing Miroku take off Inuyasha headed out, deciding to go to his place of employment on foot, he headed down the street, a determined expression set on his face. Kagome was finishing up with her latest customer, when a man with silver hair barged into the office, he was there previous delivery man he went to the office and asked for his job back again, he said he was sorry about the leave of absence and he was okay to return to work again. Smirking to himself when he was in the van with a hundred bags of blood to be delivered to the blood bank, he grabbed a bag of Type O and drank it down greedily, savoring the tangy flavor, after two bags of blood he felt alive again, and almost as if he could forget that Kagome girl's scent was ever a problem in the first place.

Kagome couldn't help but think the delivery guy was cute, I mean who heard of silver hair, it was so different, he almost looked like a model except for that smirk he always wore on his face, it gave her the creeps sometimes. A couple days later, Miroku had planned a special dinner for Sango and he asked Inuyasha to do him a favor and keep Kagome out of the house so he could have privacy. Reluctantly Inuyasha agreed, after Miroku supplied him with some cash to take them to the movies and dinner, than he asked if Kagome could stay at his house.

Inuyasha was not happy at first being alone with the one woman who made his lust boil and his mind go numb, but after some begging and pleading on Miros part, he grabbed the money promising to keep the wench away from the house the rest of the night. At first Kagome was not happy about going on a date with a stranger, until Miro told her it was Yash, their blood bank delivery boy, she decided a night with the hunk wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.

Kagome put on a pair of black Capri's with a silver sparkly tank top and heels, she decided to wear her hair down and only applied some eye shadow and some dark mauve lip liner, she sprayed her favorite perfume Angels by Victoria Secret on and doing a once over in the mirror went downstairs to await Inuyasha.

Inuyasha suddenly felt like a school boy again, he was going to be alone with that temptress, he drank four bags of blood that night to make sure his thirst was quenched and he put on a red button up shirt and nice pair of black pants and his favorite boots, a sprits of cologne and out the door he went. The doorbell rang and Kagome ran to get it, when she saw yash, her heart about stopped beating he looked so damn sexy, his long silver hair was down and spilling on his shoulders, he wore that casual smirk on his face that he always had. Inuyasha couldn't believe it when she opened the door, she was cute at work but now she was downright gorgeous, pretending like it didn't faze him, he put his trademark smirk on and grabbed her hand practically dragging her out the front door. They ate at a steak restaurant, he ordered his rare, she ordered hers well done, they drank red wine with their meals, after dinner they went to see a romantic comedy about a man who was always falling in love with the wrong woman, until a nobody came along and changed his perspective, it was an okay movie, but Yash couldn't help but not glance at the beautiful woman sitting next to him, he felt his fangs growing, and excused himself to the bathroom, where he dug in his pocket and pulled out a flask of Type O blood, he drank it down until he felt his fangs retract joining Kagome who never even noticed he left she was to involved in the movie she was watching. Afterwards it was almost eleven o clock, and Kagome was yawning she was tired, she was a little miffed when she learned she couldn't go home, but agreed to sleep in a guest bedroom, in the room she found that there was some pajamas already laid out on her bed, they were light blue and silky, she didn't question where they came from just climbed into bed to go to sleep.

Meanwhile our poor Vampire, tossed and turned in his bed, craving the girl's blood that was just down the hall from him, he longed to have her, it was a rough night for him, he had to keep waking up and taking cold showers and drinking his flask of blood, and still the hunger would not go away. When the sun had barely risen, he was happy when Kagome was dressed and out the door for work, even though it was the weekend she had offered to work a extra shift so Sango could have the day off to spend with Miroku.
