I just wanna start by saying a few things.

1- I am honestly thinking about changing the Title of the story. I just don't feel it, you know? Summary is bound to change, that I can promise.

2- Kagome will still end up being pregnant, but I'm not sure how soon she'll find that out. I'm making my chapters short because I don't wanna jam everything together, and honestly, I see the story getting boring if I announce her pregnancy too soon. That being said, the pregnancy probably won't be revealed for another two or three chapters.

3- Ugh. This chapter took forever, and Honestly, I hate myself for writing this. But I had to! :( I know you guys may be a little annoyed with me by the time it's over, but we need to progress in this story. I tried to make it as long as possible and get some serious InuKag moments in, so you know...

Kagome stared down at the message on her cell phone's screen, her left eyebrow twitching every now and then in anger.

I've changed my mind. Not in the mood for anything cold. Just get me a regular coffee with extra cream. Thanks, doll!

-Kagura

Now, Kagome typically wasn't a violent person, but she had seriously considered taking the thirty minute drive back to the other side of town and strangling the hell out of her boss.

She had wasted valuable time driving to the only Star Bucks in the city, and now Kagura was telling her that she wanted a plain old coffee? She could have gone around the corner for that!

Not to mention this line...

Kagome leaned slightly to her right, counting the many people in front of her and stopping when she got to double digits. It was lunch time, and there were a lot of businesses around here, so she expected it to be busy around this time.

But not this busy.

"Well, well. Look who we got here."

Kagome's eyes widened, and her body suddenly went rigid. She didn't have to turn around to see who had said it; she knew the voice all to well.

"What's up, Pencil Neck?" asked the voice rhetorically. Kagome felt a heavy hand rest on her shoulder, and her eyes immediately darted towards it. If she could, she would have melted it off just by looking at it.

"Inuyasha." she said coldly, swiping his hand off her shoulder roughly with her own.

Why was he here? He wasn't supposed to be here. Hadn't she seen enough of him?

"What are you doing here?" She blurted, jerking her whole body away from him and turning to stare him down to the best of her abilities.

She was expecting to see him dressed in douche baggy clothes, like how he used to dress in high school. However, what she saw left her speechless.

Inuyasha was standing before her, his height suddenly making her feel tiny and insignificant. His hair was pulled into a neat, low ponytail, not a single hair out of place. His golden eyes matched brilliantly with his tan colored skin, and for a second, Kagome found herself wanting to trace the structure of his seemingly perfect face.

What Kagome had noticed the most, though, was the way he looked in his deep grey business suit. It was unbuttoned a little, and the black tie around his neck had been loosened enough for him to relax in.

This is..Inuyasha? Kagome found herself wondering, as her blue eyes swept over him some more. He was so different than when they had last met.

Well, you were both naked.

Ah. That's right. She hadn't got a chance to properly inspect him last time because of the predicament they had been in. Even so, she had expected the same Inuyasha she had known back in school; Long, black unruly hair, multiple ear piercings, wrinkled and baggy clothing, and an extremely foul mouth.

But this Inuyasha...This Inuyasha was completely different. He was much more good looking.

Mature. Kagome corrected herself mentally.

"Hey, you stupid bitch! Did ya' hear me?"

Kagome felt herself being pulled back to reality, and an invisible barrier shattered in front of her eyes. She blinked a couple of times, then scowled at him.

I stand correct. He hasn't changed one bit since high school! The only thing that's different is his clothes!

"Who do you think you're talking to?!" Kagome all but yelled, not caring at all when some of the other customers turned to look at her.

Apparently, neither did Inuyasha.

"I'm talking to you, bitch." His spat back, putting emphasis on the word 'bitch'.

"What are you bothering me for? And stop calling me that word, you jerk!"

Inuyasha eyes narrowed dangerously. "What the hell are you talkin' about? You asked me a question!"

Kagome felt herself falter. "I..I did?"

Oh, right. I did ask him a question, didn't I?

But Kagome decided against asking him again, and instead just pretended to play dumb. It worked, and she watched as Inuyasha relaxed a bit more, his shoulders slumping slightly and his eyebrow rising in confusion.

"You're just as weird as you were in school, you know that?"

Kagome bit back a growl. She didn't wanted to be compared to her high school self. She had grown and changed a lot since then.

Right?

"Ugh, just go away, Inuyasha. I'm busy." Kagome spat, turning her back to him and crossing her arms over her chest.

"Doin' what? Waiting in line?" Inuyasha asked, pointing out the flaw in Kagome's claim.

The said girl blushed furiously. "Actually, yes. It's a very long line."

God, she was glad he couldn't see her face.

"You're in denial."

"Maybe I am."

"Tch, loser."

"Jerk."

By now, Kagome was fuming. How dare he call her names and pick on her? He had come to her, after all!

Just ignore him, Kagome. He'll go away if you just pretend he's not there.

Suddenly, Kagome found herself wrapped up in a tantalizing aroma. It wasn't too heavy, but it was just enough. It had a manly sort of musk to it, with a hint of Jasmine.

Oh my God. It's..it's Inuyasha!

Kagome's face darkened again for different reasons as she felt someone pressing into her back. To say that she was uncomfortable was an understatement. She felt..violated!

Kagome could feel him getting closer and closer to her, for what reasons she didn't know. Her mind was going a mile a minute.

He's too close. Way too close..!

"Do you mind?" She hissed, not daring to look back at him.

She could literally feel Inuyasha's attitude. "It ain't my fault! There are too many people getting in line!"

Kagome frowned, trying to move up a few inches so that she could make space. But it was no use; the line wasn't budging." Why don't you just get out of line?"

"Bitch, are you stupid? How about you get out of line?"

Kagome bit back words that she knew didn't belong in her vocabulary. She didn't have time to argue with him. No, she had other things to deal with. Much more important things.

Inuyasha's proximity wasn't the only thing bothering her. She could feel his warm breath tickling down the back of her neck, hitting spots that should never be touched and making her feel ways she should never feel.

Everything had gone quiet, and the only thing Kagome could hear was the loud and heavy beating of her heart.

Thump-thump...thump-thump...

With every exhale Inuyasha gave, Kagome felt herself getting closer to her breaking point. Her legs began trembling on their own, and her lips decided to join in as well. Her own breathing began to pick up speed, and she soon found herself on the verge of a major meltdown.

Thump-thump..thump-thump..thump-thump!

No, not like this! Not in front of him!

"Oi, go already!"

Kagome's eyes widened as she felt her body being propelled forward. She almost fell flat on her face, but she caught herself at the last minute and instead only suffered a slightly embarrassing stumble.

"Hey!" She shouted, all the exotic feelings from before evaporating into nothing as she turned to see Inuyasha standing a couple of feet away. "What was that for?"

Inuyasha looked at her like she was stupid, and for a second, Kagome almost thought she was. "Keh! You were holding up the damn line."

Kagome whipped her head back around and saw that she was standing in front of the counter. The cashier was looking at her with a hint of irritation, and Kagome suddenly felt herself blushing in embarrassment.

"S-Sorry!" She squeaked, bowing slightly.

But the cashier didn't seem interested in apologies. "What will it be, ma'm?" The young woman asked, smacking on her gum loudly.

Kagome swallowed her damaged pride and stood up straight. It was painfully obvious that the Starbucks worker had had enough of her, so the least she could was hurry up and order.

"I'll have a tall brewed coffee, please."

The cashier nodded her head slightly, tapping on the screen of her computer a couple of times. "That'll be four dollars and forty cent."

Kagome bit back the urge to curse. Almost five bucks for a coffee? That was Ludicrous!

Kagura, you so owe me when I get back.

Kagome sighed, reaching into her back pocket to grab her wallet. She frowned when she didn't feel the familiar cheap leather. She dug in her other pockets, then grabbed her breast, making sure she hadn't stuck the wallet in her bra again.

She had spent a full ten seconds molesting herself before her eyes widened in realization.

"Oh no! I left it in my locker back at work." Kagome whispered to herself. Either she was bad at whispering or the cashier had super hearing, because the girl smacked her glossy lips and narrowed her eyes.

"Is there a problem, ma'm?" The cashier asked, the tone of her voice saying that she clearly knew there was a problem.

Kagome could feel the many eyes glaring at her from behind as she began to hold up the line once more. Sure, she could get out of line, but then she wouldn't have Kagura's coffee, and she certainly wasn't about to drive all the way back to her job just to tell her boss that she had forgotten her wallet. She didn't exactly feel like getting fired today.

"I..uh..you see.." Kagome began babbling, looking at the woman sheepishly.

"I'll pay for it."

Kagome's eyes widened as Inuyasha appeared on the side of her, his own wallet in his hand. He dug around for a few seconds, then slapped a large bill on the counter.

"Got change for this?" He asked, his voice suddenly husky and attractive.

The cashier looked up at him, her face completely red before a seductive look settled on her features. She blinked her big brown eyes at Inuyasha a couple of times, then leaned over the counter, taking the money in one hand and twirling a strand of hair from her exposed ponytail in the other.

"Oh, of course I do, ." She said so sexually that Kagome suddenly felt dirty. Inuyasha, however, just kept a straight face, his golden eyes staring at the cashier intently. "Will that be all for you?"

"Um..yes?" Kagome spoke cautiously, flinching slightly when the cashier turned to glare at her. Inuyasha cleared his throat, and soon the cashier was looking at him again, the lustful look in her eyes returning immediately.

The woman winked at Inuyasha as she turned and left, going off to make Kagome's drink. It wasn't until Kagome was sure that the other woman was out of hearing range that she finally spoke.

"Wow. That was..wow."

Inuyasha didn't say a word, which Kagome was thankful for.

I few minutes later, the woman came back. She had ditched her uniform hat, and her blond hair had been let down and teased. Kagome frowned, wondering where she had found the time to do that, and whether she had done it while making her coffee.

Well, I don't have to drink it.

"Here." The woman said in a bored tone, setting the coffee down in front of Kagome before looking back at Inuyasha. "And here you are, ." She said, biting her lip in a way that sickened Kagome. "I slipped a little something in there for you. You should call me next time you want some...coffee."

"Thanks." Inuyasha said in a lustful voice of his own.

Kagome was seriously going to puke.

"Ugh." Kagome rolled her eyes, ignoring the look on the cashier's face as she snatched the coffee off the counter and stormed out of the over expensive coffee shop.

She was only alone outside for a few moments before she heard a second pair of footsteps.

"Jeez, what's up with you?" she heard Inuyasha ask.

Kagome stopped, inhaling and exhaling loudly. "Look, I appreciate you buying my drink and all, but I would prefer you not to include me in your disgusting sexual passes."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, stuffing his hands in his pocket and securing the phone number. "Oh, please. You had nothing to do with it. It was all me and her."

Kagome turned and found Inuyasha smiling in a way that made a shiver go down her spine. "You're hopeless."

"And you're lonely."

"Am not!"

"Uh huh. Sure."

The ebony haired woman bit down on her tongue so hard that she drew a little blood. No, he wouldn't get the best of her. He was just a stupid, self centered, air headed, arrogant, stupid son of a-

"Oi, you alright?"

Kagome's eyes flew open so fast that she grew a bit dizzy. She hadn't even remembered shutting them.

Inuyasha was standing directly in front of her, staring her down with a look of pure annoyance.

Kagome stepped back, embarrassed a little. He had been catching her off guard a lot today. What the hell was going on with her?

"I-I'm fine!" She squeaked, turning around so that her back faced him. Groaning at her sudden patheticness, Kagome dug in her pocket and fished out Kagura's car keys. "I should get going. This coffee isn't exactly mine, and I don't want it to get too cold."

Kagome began walking away from the dark haired man. She had only gotten a few feet before Inuyasha spoke.

"My job."

The ebony haired girl blinked, then turned to look back at him in confusion. He was standing in the same spot, his hands in his pockets as he looked off to the side.

"What?"

Inuyasha looked at her, his face twisted in annoyance as he was forced to repeat himself. "You asked me why I was here earlier, and I'm telling you it was because of my job."

"You work at Starbucks?"

"No, you idiot! I work for one of the businesses here on this side of town. You know, the one with my last name in it?"

Kagome stared at him for a couple a seconds, then it finally clicked.

Oh! He's talking about Tashio Inc.! I guess that would explain the suit and tie.

Kagome had remembered seeing a section in the newspaper about the company. Apparently, they were number one in Japan. They dealt with numerous things, as well as creating new and advanced technology and giving back to Tokyo, all while crushing opposing companies under their feet.

It had never dawned on Kagome that Inuyasha may have been part of the company, but then again, she had spent the past few years trying to forget he even existed. Just the thought of an immature and childish Inuyasha working amongst business men was crazy. It was like putting a tie on a baby and telling him to type up a six page report by tomorrow.

Kagome giggled at the thought, catching the attention of Inuyasha.

"What the hell is so funny?" He fumed, only proving her point.

Kagome erupted with more laughter, trying to cover her mouth to stop. "Sorry! It's just- hehehe-you-haha-business-heheha!

Inuyasha glared at her with pure hate. "Yeah, what about me and business?"

By now, Kagome was tearing up. It took everything in her power to stop, and she soon found herself wiping away tears. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all."

"Keh,whatever!" Inuyasha barked, turning his head to the left as he avoided Kagome's gaze.

The said girl sighed contently, trying to imagine Inuyasha working for Tashio Inc. He was obviously good at what he did, since he was still employed there, and people apparently knew who he was, judging by the way the cashier had acted back in the shop.

Kagome frowned. Did people always act like that towards him? Did girls always act like that towards him? The thought made her sick, but for her own reasons. She couldn't imagine living a life where everyone around her practically threw themselves on her on a daily basis. Inuyasha seemed to like it, but surely he got tired of it, right?

"Does that happen often?" Kagome found herself asking. She hadn't meant to say it out loud, but she had, and Inuyasha was suddenly staring at her like she was crazy.

"What?"

"You know. The flirting and stuff. Does it always happen?" Kagome wasn't sure why, but she found herself tapping the tip of her right shoe against the parking lot round.

There was a silence between them, and Kagome feared for a second that she had made things awkward between them. Well, not as awkward as the last time, but still.

"Oh, yeah." Inuyasha said suddenly, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small piece of paper that must have had the cashier's phone number scribbled on it. "Completely forgot about this."

Kagome watched as he examined the paper in his hands. Her eyes widened in horror as he began ripping it up in his hands.

"H-Hey! Don't do that!" The ebony haired woman yelled, stretching her arm out as if it was somehow going to stop him and magically piece the paper back together.

Inuyasha looked at her as he threw the litter to the ground."Why not? It's not like I'm going to call her or anything."

"But-"

"I've got more important things to do then sit around and be all lovey-dovey with some stupid girl."

Kagome flinched at the harshness in his voice. He wasn't saying it to her, but the words hit her hard for some reason.

"It's still not right! You could have at least given her a chance."

"Why do you care? She didn't even like you!" Inuyasha roared suddenly, balling his fist.

A heavy silence fell on them, and Kagome found herself staring at the ground.

Why did she care? Who was she to scold Inuyasha for not going on a date with a complete stranger? It had nothing to do with her, plain and simple.

So why did she feel so bad?

Kagome could hear Inuyasha's footsteps coming closer towards her, but she didn't move. She couldn't move. Her body wasn't listening to her.

The footsteps came to a halt, and Kagome see his expensive shoes from where she was staring. He was directly in front of her.

"Kagome..."

The said woman's eyes widened. He had said her name! He never said her name. It was always, "Pencil Neck Virgin" or "Bitch", but never her real name. But now..and the way he had said it! Kagome could feel the chills running down her spine.

Kagome was still in middle of processing what had just happened when she felt a pair of warm hands on her cheeks.

She let out a surprised gasp, and suddenly she was looking up at a pair of mesmerizing amber eyes. Kagome felt her face light up like a Christmas light as Inuyasha gave her the same lustful look he had given the cashier.

"Inuyasha..." she said so softly that she hadn't even recognized her own voice.

Kagome's tongue darted over her suddenly dry lips, the action catching the attention of Inuyasha. In turn, he licked his own lips, before lowering them down on hers.

Kagome's mind screamed for her to stop. Her mind knew Inuyasha, and it hated him with everything it had.

But her heart...

Kagome's eyes fluttered closed, and she could suddenly feel the warmth of Inuyasha's lips on her own. His tongue immediately darted across her lips and pushed against them, begging for entrance. Kagome happily obliged, and soon Inuyasha's tongue was in her mouth. He explored the inside thoroughly, then began to swipe at her own tongue, initiating a fight between the two appendages.

Kagome could have died right in happiness. If someone would have asked Kagome what her plans had been for the day, she most certainly wouldn't have pictured herself making out with the person she hated most in the world.

Hate. Did she even hate him anymore? It sure as hell didn't feel like she did. No, people who hated each other didn't do thing like this.

The two broke away suddenly, Kagome breathing heavily for more air. Inuyasha took a step back, looking at her fiercly.

There was a feeling in Kagome's chest that made her attempt to gather oxygen difficult; It was her heart. It was pounding like crazy! Kagome found her whole body tingling, and she was soon enveloped in an unfamiliar warmth that made her feel safe and secure.

Why was she feeling this way? It couldn't have possibly meant what she thought it did ,right? If so, then that meant that she had feelings for Inuyasha, and those feelings weren't as ill and hateful as she once thought. Maybe..Maybe she was in lo-

"Fuck, that was terrible!"

Kagome's eyes widened, and she felt her heart come to a sudden stop.

Inuyasha spit on the ground, wiping his mouth as if he had eaten something extremely foul. He made a couple of gagging noises before he stood up straight, looking Kagome straight in the eyes as a wicked smirk spread across his face.

"I thought it would be a little different this time, since you're not as disgusting as you were in school, but shit was I wrong!"

Kagome felt herself pale, and her world slowly began crumbling. There was a sharp pain in her chest that caused her to wince, and she was soon welcomed back to the pain of heart break.

No..not again..!

The look on Kagome's face must have been pitiful, because Inuyasha doubled over in laughter.

"Man, you should see you're face right now. You look so stupid!"

Kagome stared past Inuyasha, looking at nothing really. No, she wasn't lookinf; she was remembering. She had been here before, in this same situation, and she had learned her lesson then.

So why had she fallen for it again?

"Well, at least I didn't have to worry about you're disgusting braces." Inuyasha said, finally standing up straight. He took a deep breath and exhaled, then moved past Kagome and began making his way over to his car.

Kagome stood there trembling. She wanted to cry. She wanted to curl up in her mother's arm just like she had done that night so many years ago and cry until she couldn't cry anymore.

No. Not this time. She wouldn't cry. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction that she knew he craved. She wouldn't let him see her broken.

Kagome began to ground her teeth together, and her hand tightened around the cup of caffeine that she had forgot she had been holding.

Kagome Higurashi was not angry. Oh no, anger wouldn't even begin to cover it. No, she was filled with pure rage and hate.

Hate for Inuyasha Tashio.

"Inuyasha!"

The older man turned at the sound of his name, and the last thing he saw before his vision became blurry was a petite dark haired girl launching a steaming hot cup of coffee at his face.

It is..DONE. I hope you guys don't hate me as much as I feel like you all do now. I apologize for any errors and grammar mistakes in the story. It's almost one in the morning, so..yeah..

Also, I know there's probably more than one Starbucks in Tokyo, but like I said..gotta make it work for the story.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Thank you all for reading, and don't forget to Review! :)
