A/N: Hey my computer is working better now. I figured out how to get the internet back up when it wants to be retarded. Anyway on with the story…

"Will that be all," the woman at the counter asked.
"Yes," Kagome said.
"Alright your total is 4.52."
"Here you go," Kagome said handing her a five. When she got her change she went and sat down to wait for her food.
'I hope Toshiro likes the biscuits I got him,' she thought. She saw the door open and two people walked in. She knew them to.
"Hey Inuyasha," she said and walked up to them.
"Oh, hey Kagome. You know Kikyo right," he said pointing at the woman beside him.
"Yeah. Hey Kikyo," she said being polite.
"Hi," Kikyo smiled.
"Hey Kagome, how come you weren't at home," Inuyasha asked. "I tried coming by this morning to see if you wanted to come with us."
"Oh, I'm not going to be at home for a while," Kagome leaned in closer so only Inuyasha heard, " Naraku is back."
"What?! He's back," Inuyasha said in disbelief.
"Yeah. I've been getting messages from him so I'm staying with Toshiro," she explained. "But I still have my cell with me."
"Ma'am, your order is ready," the woman called.
"Alright. Thank you," she said grabbing the bag.
"Kagome, who is Toshiro," Inuyasha asked.
"That guy I was with at the club. I work with him and right now I guess you can say we are dating," Kagome answered.
"Are you sure you can trust him," Kikyo asked.
"Yeah. He is a really good guy," she answered.
"Alright. If your sure," Inuyasha said.
"I am. Well I got to go, bye," Kagome waved and walked out of the little shop.
Soon Kagome walked into the apartment building. She was humming a small tune when she accidentally bumped into a woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Kagome said looking up to see a red headed woman.
"It's alright. You must be Kagome. I'm Rangiku, Toshiro's neighbor," Rangiku said sticking out her hand.
"Hi. Nice to meet you," Kagome said shaking her hand. "Uh I got to go. See you later," she said going up the stairs.
"Alright. Tell Toshiro nice pick for me. He'll know what I mean," Rangiku yelled up to her.
"Alright."
Kagome walked in and saw Toshiro no where.
"Toshiro," she called.
"I'm in my room. Be right there," he yelled down the hall.
"K. Oh I met your neighbor Rangiku. She wants me to pass a message to you," Kagome said taking out the biscuits.
"Oh god. What she say," Toshiro said walking into the kitchen.
"She said 'nice pick'. She also said you would know what it means," Kagome told him.
"Yeah, I know what she means," he sighed.
"What does it mean," Kagome asked.
"It means I have a bunch of idiotic friends," he said.
"What do you mean," she asked again.
"The nice pick is you. I used to date this one girl and she was horrible. And when she said nice pick, well yeah," he explained biting into the biscuit she handed him.
"Oh, well it's nice to know they approve," she said walking around him and flopped onto the couch.
"I guess so," he said sitting next to her.
She smiled at him and watched the movie he was playing.
"What is this?"
"Hellboy 2."
"Oh."
An hour and a half later they pulled that movie out and flipped through tv channels.
After a few minutes Kagome started talking. "Hellboy reminds me of Inuyasha."
"How," Toshiro asked looking at her.
"They're both tough, don't really think much, and pretty much kind… at points," she explained. "Speaking of Inuyasha I saw him this morning."
"Really?"
"Yeah, he was with his new girlfriend Kikyo. I told him about Naraku," she said picking up the biscuit wrappers.
"How'd he take it? You tell him your staying here," Toshiro asked following her.
"Yeah, he got pissed about the Naraku thing, and a little protective and brotherly with the staying with you thing," she answered.
"Hmm, he sounds like a pretty good guy, if he's that protective of you," Toshiro stated.
"Yeah. And you know what, seeing him with Kikyo, I didn't expect the feelings I would get," she said not thinking.
"How did you expect to feel," Toshiro asked, jealous and a little hurt.
"Upset or betrayed," she answered.
"Why," he asked, growing more and more worried.
"Well, that day I met you at the club, I had talked to Inuyasha. I was going to tell him I really liked him but he said he liked Sango. It turned out he didn't like either of us. He only said he liked Sango to make Kikyo jealous, and apparently it worked," she explained, surprise there was no hurt and her voice didn't crack.
"Do you still like him," Toshiro asked. Now when she looked at him did she realize what she said might have hurt him and felt guilty.
"I did," she began walking towards him and wrapped her arms around his middle and looked up at him, "until I met you."
He smiled, wondering why he even felt worried. She was here with him not Inuyasha. He leaned down an kissed her. She kissed him back, feeling his tongue run across her lips. This time she opened to him. He once again explored her mouth.
Reluctantly she pulled away. They both needed air. She slowly pulled away and walked into her room. Neither of them stopped smiling.
Kagome pulled out her ipod and listened to it while changing into more comfortable clothes to run in. She was so distracted she didn't know someone else was in the room until he grabbed her. Her headphones fell out of ears and she was about to yell when he covered her mouth with his. When he pulled back he saw terror in her eyes. She was going to scream again but he covered her mouth with his hand. Only a few muffled sounds came out. Tears rolled down her face.
Naraku smiled at her. She kept trying to get away but stopped when she felt him hold a gun to her side. She instantly froze. He looked down and saw she only had on pants and a bra. He grabbed her right before she could put on her t-shirt. He looked back up into her fearful eyes.
"I'm going to remove my hand alright. You scream, your little boyfriend will be shot. Understand," he threatened. When she shook her head yes he slipped his hand down her mouth to her neck and chest and finally stopped and rested it on her breast.
"Just as I remember," he whispered. He slid his hand under her bra, lifting it so he could see her chest. He smiled maliciously at her then bent down and took one of her nipples into his mouth. She continued to cry. He sucked on it and bit it a couple times and got whimpers from her. His hand was roughly messaging the other one.
______________________________________________________________
Toshiro was still watching tv when he swore he heard a cry. He looked down the hall to Kagome's room and heard it again. He walked down the hall and stopped at he door, only to hear more cries.
He knocked on her door, "Kagome."
Naraku growled and lifted his head to look at the door. Kagome took this chance to hit him with her miko powers. He was flung across the room, dropping the gun which Kagome kicked under her bed. She ran into the hall and cried into Toshiro's chest.
He looked down and saw she was half naked. He lifted his head to see Naraku standing in front of her window. Rage was clearly written on his face and eyes. He shot his hand out and ice flew at Naraku.
Naraku dodged the shards and disappeared into his miasma.
Toshiro looked down to see Kagome still crying. Not wanting to take her back into her room he picked her up and carried her into his. He sat down on his bed with Kagome in his lap.
"Kagome, what happened? What did he do to you," he asked wiping away her tears.
More just came out.
"I was changing… to go run when… when he grabbed me and kissed… me. I tried to scream but he… had a gun and said he'd shoot you… He held the gun to my side and started to… to.. to," Kagome couldn't say it and continued to cry into his chest.
"I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't think he would be able to find you here. I'm sorry," he whispered, mentally beating himself up for it.
"I… I feel so dirty," she cried.
Then Toshiro remembered she was still half naked. A blush came up onto his face when he saw her chest pressed to his. 'Damn this thin shirt,' he cursed.
She kept crying a while till she finally calmed down. Soon she also noticed what position they were in and blushed to. 'Why am I blushing? Just this morning I was holding his dick!'
"You alright," he asked her. She looked up and nodded. She tried to stand up but he kept a firm hold on her.
"Uh, Toshiro. You can let go now," she said.
"No," his head was in her hair and his reply came out muffled.
"Why," she asked still red.
"I like you right here," he said and kissed her shoulder.
Kagome had to admit she liked it to. She just sat there while he played with her hair some. A smile appeared on her face and she forgot about the Naraku's latest visit.
They were to wrapped up with each other they didn't notice Sango come in.
"Hello," she called into the apartment. When she didn't get a reply she walked into the living room, kitchen, and saw no one there. She went into the hall and walked to Toshiro's room where she saw them on his bed, not paying attention to her who was now frozen on the spot.
Apparently while she was looking for them Toshiro removed Kagome's bra and was kissing her shoulders, neck, and chest. One of Kagome's hands were in his hair while the other one wrapped around his torso. Little moans escaped Kagome's mouth.
Toshiro happened to see Sango standing there wide eyed and lifted his head from her neck. A whimper was heard from Kagome. She looked to also see Sango. A small yell escaped Kagome's mouth and she tried to hide herself still in Toshiro's lap since he still wouldn't let her go.
"Uh, sorry," Sango said finally able to speak. "I uh… will be in there," she said and hurriedly went back into the living room.
"Oh my god that was so embarrassing," Kagome said, but shut up when Toshiro started to suck on her neck.
"Toshiro stop it. Sango's here," she said trying to push him away.
He didn't listen to her and kept on, tightening his grip on her.
"Toshiro come on stop it," she said still pushing him and trying to stand up.
Finally he looked up at her with lust filled eyes. "She's in the living room and the tv is on. Just a few more minutes," he said kissing her jaw line and cheeks.
"No. Let me go talk to her. We can finish this later," she said, seconds from caving in.
Toshiro let out a whine but reluctantly let her go. Kagome stood up and was about to step into the hall when Toshiro called her.
"Yeah," she said looking back at him, who has now moved to his closet.
"Here, unless you want to talk to her topless," he said holding out a shirt. She looked down and saw he was right.
She walked over and grabbed the shirt. She leaned up and kissed him on the lips, "thanks." She was about to leave when he grabbed her waist.
"Remember you owe me," he whispered into her ear huskily.
She felt weak from the it but managed to pull away, toss the shirt on, and run into the where Sango was sitting.
"Hey Sango," she said sitting next to her.
"Hey sorry about walking in on that," Sango apologized.
"It's alright. Just be glad you didn't walk in this morning," Kagome whispered.
"Why? What you two do," Sango asked interested.
"You really want to know," Toshiro asked from the doorway.
"Probably not," she laughed.
"Anyway, why are you here," Kagome asked.
"To spy on you, see what's going on. Now I can tell Mo-Mo everything is fine," Sango smiled.
"Why doesn't it surprise me she would send you to spy on us," Toshiro shook his head.
"Actually it was my idea to spy on you but paper beats rock so here I am," Sango muttered.
Kagome laughed at her friend.
"Anyway, what have you two been up to besides what I saw," Sango asked.
"Well I got us some breakfast, saw Inuyasha and Kikyo while I was out, watched a movie, and had a visit from Naraku," Kagome answered. Toshiro felt rage build up inside him hearing that bastards name.
"What?! Naraku? What happened," Sango yelled.
"I'd rather not talk about it," Kagome said feeling tears in her eyes. Then she felt Toshiro sit on the couch and his arm wrapped around her pulling her to him. She leaned back into his embrace.
"Ahh, you two make such a great couple," Sango cooed.
"Thanks," Toshiro said.
"No problem, well I got to go and call Mo-Mo. Let her know you to finally are together and then go to Miroku's," Sango said walking towards the door.
"Tell him I said hi," Kagome said.
"K," Sango yelled through the door.
After a few minutes Toshiro finally talked.
"So she's gone. We can finally finish what we started," he whispered, sliding his hands under the shirt he gave her. He finally pulled it off. When he did Kagome turned around and straddled him. She took his shirt off too and kissed him passionately. Her chest was pressed to his. His hands rested on her ass, squeezing it. Moans could be heard from both of them. Kagome began to grind her core against his member who started to harden.
"Ahhhh!"
"What the," Kagome said pulling away.
"What was that," Toshiro asked.
"Who knows. Let's go check it out," Kagome suggested grabbing the shirt, throwing it on, and ran into the hall down the stairs.
"Kagome wait," Toshiro yelled following her.
"Rangiku, what happened," Kagome asked her, seeing her bent over, a worried expression on her face.
"A kid got in here, and when I asked him where his parents were he started crying. All I could here was something about a gang," she sighed.
"Hm, let me talk to him," Kagome said. Rangiku sighed again and stepped out of the way.
There curled up in the corner was a small boy with red hair. He was crying but kept on eye on the three of them.
"Shh, it's alright we won't hurt you," Kagome said slowly walking towards him. When she was a foot away she knelt down to his level and looked him in the face. "What's your name," she asked him in a gentle voice. Toshiro stayed back and watched her.
"Sh-shippo," the boy stuttered.
"Shippo. Hm, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat," Kagome asked.
Shippo nodded his head.
"Alright, follow me," she said standing up. She saw he didn't move, "it's alright, you can trust me."
He could tell she was telling the truth so he stood up and stayed close to her back up to the apartment.
"Here, she said handing him the sandwiches. He began to eat them, mouthful by mouthful.
"Toshiro, I hope your ok with this," she said standing next to him, watching the little boy.
"It's fine. He looks like he's been through a lot. If you want he can stay here and we can help him out. You know, nice bed, good food, shelter. And I've known you long enough to know you'll want to love and spoil him. Am I right," Toshiro teased.
"Right on the mark," she laughed and kissed him lightly on the lips. She turned her attention back to the boy and saw he finished eating and looked very tired.
"Hey. How about I give you a bath and you can go to sleep. Sound good," she asked him. He grinned and shot his hands up letting her know he wanted to be carried.
Kagome laughed and carried him into the bathroom. She took off his clothes, washed him squeaky clean, gave him one of her baggy t-shirts and carried him into her room where he slept peacefully on her bed.
Kagome quietly stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her. She went into the kitchen and saw Toshiro making some more sandwiches for them.
He looked up and saw her standing in the door frame.
"How is he," he asked.
"Sleeping in my bed. I gave him one of my t-shirts to wear. He has a couple of bruises, but other then that and being a little skinny he's fine," she said grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge.
"That's good," he said handing her a sandwich.
"Yeah. And since he's in my bed, looks like I'm sleeping with you," she smiled at him.
"Well I was thinking that you should ever since that little surprise visit this morning," he said sitting in a chair at the kitchen table.
"Really? Then I guess I am," she said sitting across from him. They talked about getting Shippo some clothes and shoes. Kagome was coming up with new ways every five seconds to spoil him and Toshiro couldn't help but think she would be a great mother. Hopefully he will find out one day as a dad. With that thought a smile appeared on his face.
Kagome who was going on and on about the little boy saw Toshiro staring at her and smiling.
"What are you thinking about," she asked suspiciously.
"Nothing," he lied sipping some soda from his glass.
"Liar," she said.
"Fine, if you must know. I was thinking that one day you'll be a great mother. And was hoping one day I'll find out by being a father," he told her.
"So your already thinking about the future huh? Well that means a lot to me," she smiled.
"Really," he eyed her.
"Yes, cause it means you really care about me."
"Well you should have known that already. I've never let a girl touch me like you did this morning until at least 2 or 3 weeks. My feelings for you go beyond caring about you," he stated.
Kagome's smile grew bigger.
"So your saying," she trailed off, waiting for him to finish the sentence.
"I'm saying I l-"
"Uhm," they heard someone say and turned to see Shippo standing in the hallway.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling," Kagome asked.
"I had a bad dream," he said, tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it was just a dream," Kagome said picking him up.
"No it wasn't. It's already happened," he whispered.
"What happened," Toshiro asked him in a gentle voice.
"Their death," he answered.
"Who's," Kagome wondered.
"My parents," Shippo said bursting into tears.
Kagome gasped wide eyed and saw Toshiro was the same.
"He's an orphan," was all he could manage to say.
______________________________________________________________
A/N: Poor Shippo. His parents died, but boy does he have great timing. Right when Toshiro was going to say it, bam, there he is.
Toshiro: Isn't that your fault?
SM45: Sorry but had to do it. Don't worry, you'll say it to Kagome. But more at a tragic scene probably.
Kagome: (whines)What, why wait? He can say it in the next chapter.
SM45: Cause I'm the writer, besides it'll be more romantic.
Toshiro and Kagome: (yell) For who?!
SM45: Fine. Readers review and tell me what kind of setting they should say it in. I want at least 5 reviews. I'll read them, pick the best, and will write it. Until then…
All of us: Bye!
