Hey here we go guys chapter 8, I love when people guess and try to figure out what's next it is my fave thing to read really. I try to update two three times a day because I just love writing but sometimes weekends are harder. I'm gonna try to get two chapters out today if not ill make it up tomorrow hopefully.

FunniesKitten: No Inuyasha is not the only demon in the story. Ayame and Kouga are still wolves in this but Kagome never knew because Kouga didn't trust her to tell her. Maybe one of the reasons he left her? Hmmm...we'll have to see. I can say Shippo is still a fox demon, we may or may not see the band of seven. I have many ways to twist the story so. Anyway thanks for reviewing!

Thank you to everyone who said the story is great :) Enjoy the next chapter! It's probably one of the longest ones yet and has a lot of juice in it ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter Eight: I Won't let him Do that to You Again.

Sunday night came and went as quickly as Monday morning, with no Alarm clock set the Demon and fragile girl were able to lay in each others arms for as long as they want.

Well at least until Kagome woke up.

"OH MY GOD!" She screamed jumping from the bed, she hadn't seen that it was Inuyasha holding her or else she wouldn't of shoved the sleeping man onto the floor.

"Fuck Kagome." He whined rubbing the side of his head "What the fuck was that for?"

"Why are you in my bed!" She screamed walking over to him with her fist clenched. She wouldn't punch him he knew that but she was damn scary when she wanted to be.

"You asked me to stay with you last night remember?" He yelled back finally getting to his feet.

"Why the hell would I do that? I barely know you for all I know you could be a..a rapist..or a serial killer..or maybe even apart of the mafia!" She screamed her breathing becoming faster with each sentence. Kagome was prone to panic attacks when she was younger but they got better as she aged. Though she still did have them.

"Hang on Kagome calm down okay?" Inuyasha said moving closer to the girl sensing her overwhelming feelings of fear and confusion. "Don't panic okay, I promise I am not a serial killer, in the mafia, or a rapist." He reached out and touched her shoulders noticing how her body relaxed more at his touch he pulled her into his embrace rubbing her back softly.

"Inuyasha..did we..do anything last night?" She asked her mind still hazy of yesterday evenings events. She didn't remember coming home, or climbing into bed with Inuyasha. But Kagome wasn't a morning person in any way shape or form, so she figured if what he says is true it will come back to her.

He chuckled and hugged her tighter to his body soaking in the warmth she poured into his chest "Well, you do suck at the Hand job but your blow job isn't to bad. And the sex was nice but I think you need to put more effort in it."

Kagome gasped and was ready to freak out and kill the man until he fell against the wall laughing. The look on her face was to much for him to handle and he just couldn't hold it in. He looked at her again only to laugh harder.

"Oh Kagome I am a gentle man I wouldn't take advantage of you like that" he looked at her with a sly smirk "Unless of course, you like being taken advantage of." He winked and she only rolled her eyes crossing her arms.

"Yeah right. Our date is Wednesday and you couldn't just wait till then to get into my bed?" She asked.

He smiled, he knew she hadn't phrased that sentence correctly, but felt he could have fun with it anyway "My dear Kagome, I didn't know you were that kind of girl climbing into bed on the first date."

Kagome's face instantly flushed, she covered her eyes and shook her head "Oh my god the things that come out of my mouth in the morning."

He chuckled "Actually it's twelve thirty in the afternoon."

Kagomes eyes widened, she glanced over at her alarm clock which hadn't been set the night before to see the red numbers flashing her ill awaited fate. 12:34 Which meant she was either fired from her job or worse, put on paper work duty till the end of the week for being late.

Inuyasha cocked his head to the side watching her as she scrambled to get her hair done and teeth brushed, she asked him to leave so she could change but he only continued to watch her "Why are you freaking out so much?"

"Because i'm late for work! Aren't you late for work too?!" She screamed from the bathroom.

"Nope, I get Mondays and Wednesdays off unless they call and tell me I have to work, which most of the time they wouldn't dare try that." He said with a shrug. He watched her a little longer until he heard a beep.

Hmm? He waited for a second with his ears perched up. Beep. There it was again. Beep, Beep, Beep.

"Kagome? What is that beeping sound?" He asked.

"Oh it's just the answering machine. I have to get ready can you go check it out please?" She yelled. He could hear her dropping tins of make up and dozens of other things he didn't understand. She didn't wore make up the first time he saw her, but she did wear it last night, and he thought she was more beautiful without it but she probably wouldn't listen.

"Yeah sure." He said picking up the blinking phone on the dresser. He stared at it for a moment wondering how to do this. "Keh I knew I should've set up my answering machine at home. But I really do hate phones." He pressed the big circle in the middle of the phone labeled 'Select.'

"Hello Ka-go-me" The machine said, Inuyasha scoffed at how stupid these things were built, it practically mutilated her name when it said it "If you would like to set a new ring tone press one, to listen to your messages press two, to hear more options press three."

Inuyasha nimbly clicked the three button and waited for the torture to begin. The phone couldn't speak for shit.

"You have 3 new voice messages. First Voice message."

"Kagome it's Mr. Totosai from department building A, I wanted to know why you didn't show up for your 8' o clock class. I see here that your record is spotless and that you are a good teacher for the students. As you know we don't approve of tardiness but you haven't done anything like this before so I don't see any need to terminate you. How ever I did call one of your emergency contacts to see if they had any idea on why you were absent, and she did seem...well um...how do I put this. She seemed pretty crazy. I believe I didn't say anything to make her upset but she did start to freak out after hearing you didn't show up. Anyway if you could give me a call to straighten this whole mess out hopefully we can just label this as an accident on your chart. Please give me a call soon. Have a good day."

"Message end. To repeat this message press one, to save it in the archives press two, to hear more options press three, to hear the next message press four."

He pressed four sighing from the last message, the poor guy must have talked to Sango if the woman was pretty crazy, she probably made his ear bleed from her screaming.

"Kagome!" Speak of the devil "Why didn't you go to work today huh? Some man named Totasue what ever called me and said you didn't come to your 8' o clock class. Miroku has been calling Inuyasha who hasn't been picking up his phone either and since you didn't answer any of my texts or calls I can only figure your with him! You have so much explaining to do you don't even know the half of it. I am glad you want to move on and i'm glad it's with Inuyasha but don't throw work away just because of a guy! Now call me back or so help me god I will-" Beep. 'Huh. Guess she ran out of time' Inuyasha smirked.

He heard the shower turn on the bathroom door shut, he should've told her to call Totosai but there was still one more message.

Inuyasha reluctantly pressed four figuring this message was a continuation of Sango's ranting, but he never expected to hear the feminine voice come on that he hear almost every day.

"Kagome..It's Ayame, look i'm back from my uh personal Vacation and I just wanted to see how you are doing?" Inuyasha raised an eye brow when he heard the sound of a male in the back ground. "Anyway I heard Inuyasha took you to see some apartments and the receptionist says that you guys seemed pretty happy when you came back. Inuyasha didn't say anything about you taking one of the apartments or not" There it was, that male voice in the back ground and then a giggle from Ayame. He heard Ayame say something but wasn't paying enough attention to really hear what she said. "Anyway if you want, drop on by and we can go check out the apartments again. I think it would fun to catch up with each other. Sorry I've been so busy, miss you. Call me back, bye Kagome."

Inuyasha stayed quiet for a moment, he wondered who was with Ayame at the time when she made the voice mail, he knew for a fact she wasn't seeing anyone because she always told him this stuff. He pressed one to on the phone and waited for the message again.

"Taking one of the apartments or not...""Come on baby" He listened in disbelief. Ayame had a boyfriend! "Not now Kouga.." He heard Ayame say with a giggle after. Oh shit, Ayame is with Kouga? Shit, last night Kagome hinted about Kouga cheating, was it with Ayame?! It couldn't of been, she wasn't like that! Right? The message continued to play but Inuyasha couldn't stand to hear more, he quickly pressed three and waited for the other options.

"To forward this message press one, to delete it press two, to hear a call back number press three.."

He quickly pressed two "Message deleted. End of new messages." He knew he shouldn't of done that, and that Kagome probably would've never knew Kouga was at Ayames because humans didn't have the type of hearing he did but he couldn't take the chance. She was finally starting to move on and get her life together, telling her about this would only set her back to square one.

No, never. He would never let him do that to her again. He wouldn't allow Kouga to get a tight hold over Kagome and send her life spiraling again. She was starting to move on as quick as it may be, and he knew why. He wasn't usually the type to be conceited but he knew somehow Kagome was moving on because of him. The day she came into his office she looked like she got told the world was ending. Then that night when he stayed for dinner she looked ten times better. Saturday she looked as if she never heard of Kouga, she was smiling and laughing. He wanted to see her like that every day for the rest of his life because Kagome was the only one who could smile and make his body ache with love.

And he'd be damned to hell before he let anyone take away the smile she so often gave him.

He placed the phone back onto the charging stand and went over to the bathroom door giving three short knocks before sighing "Kagome?" he asked.

"Yeah" she called from in the shower.

"A man from work named Totosai called, he said that you should call him back, and that he doesn't think you skipped work or anything. He did call Sango though who freaked out and left you one hell of a message." He heard Kagome grunt in the bathroom and then thank him for telling her. She turned the shower off and grabbed a towel opening the door slightly.

"Is that all?" She asked looking up at him.

"No.." he mumbled, he didn't want to tell her that Ayame called, but he knew he should at least let know Ayame was back. As long as she never heard the message hopefully she wouldn't find out about Kouga. "Ayame called to let you know she's back in town."

Kagome smiled and opened the door more walking into the bedroom "Great." She said reaching into one of her half empty drawers. "Hey you work with her, maybe we could all get lunch together one day?" She asked.

"Why?" Inuyasha asked as he watched her.

"Well I'd like to catch up with Ayame of course."

"So why bring me?" He asked.

She sighed "I love Ayame I do, but sometimes she's a little to head strong and I can't be around her with out someone else. Besides she and Sango don't always get a long, and I like hanging out with you so why not?"She said turning out to look at him.

He shrugged "If you want."

She smiled and then gestured towards the door, he closed and locked it before looking at her before smiling. She shook her head and pointed to it again and his ears flattened against his head as he slowly trudged out of the bedroom.

She smiled and shook her head, now she had to make a ton of calls. One of them included Sango. Oh great, today is gonna be another long day.

Hhhh

"Yes I truly am sorry Mr. Totosai." Kagome said speaking into the phone, Inuyasha sat at the kitchen table tapping his foot on the floor loud enough to annoy Kagome. She told him to stop a few times but he loved the look she gave him when he didn't.

He watched her make her coffee, look in the fridge many times to see if she would actually eat something in there, then call Totosai. Overall the man was really understanding of what had happened, Kagome even told him about her status in the divorce and he wished her the best of luck. When he told her that she should've taken time off and that she can if she still wants to she smiled and said that maybe she'll take a few days because she may move into a new apartment. The man asked her a few more questions before letting her go and Inuyasha only sighed.

"He can really talk can't he?" Inuyasha scoffed.

"Yes but he's nice." Kagome said sitting at the table. She had called Sango first to let her know what happened, She ranted and screamed then said she was just happy that they were both okay and not laying in a ditch somewhere.

Kagome shook her head at the thought of what Sango said and laughed. Inuyasha was still a little on edge after the message from Ayame. He was hoping that somehow he misheard the name Ayame said, but with his extensive hearing the odds of that were 1 in a million.

Kagome had been babbling on about one of her students and how he was a pain but she sort of missed him. Inuyasha shrugged and nodded trying to seem interested in the conversation, he probably would have been because it was Kagome talking but his mind was busy elsewhere. Mainly back at his office where he knew Ayame would be sitting at desk tapping away at the key board. If she really was with Kouga she was probably thinking about him then. He wouldn't have a problem with Ayame having a boyfriend, he'd actually be happy for her because of it. But the fact that it was the guy who made Kagome's life a living hell for the past two, now three months was unacceptable.

Kagome stood up from the table and walked over to Inuyasha giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, he looked up at her sure enough that his cheeks were turning red.

"Anyway so I'm gonna go back to work and pick up a leave of absence form. Then if you want we can hang out after wards. I'll have to fill it out there so I wont be done till three, plus I have to find a replacement for me while i'm gone." She said.

"Leave of absence? Why?"

She cocked her head slightly looking at him. "You weren't listening? I said I am going to take the apartment after all and move in around the end of the week. I figured i'd take Thursday to Tuesday off that way I can get moved in and settled."

Inuyasha was stuck in the moment watching the smiling giggly girl in front of him. He was happier than he been that day. Seeing Kagome so happy made him want to jump up and hug her. So that is exactly what he did.

Kagome laughed as Inuyasha spun her around in the middle of her kitchen. He wrapped her arms tight around his neck and smiled. "I guess you like the idea huh?"

He hugged her tighter "Of course I do, after work ill come over and help you and Monday i'll be right there to help you settle in." He yelled still swinging her around.

Kagome couldn't help but giggle more and hug onto him tighter. When he finally put her down she looked up at him with a wide grin. "So do you want to meet back here when i'm done?" She asked.

He smiled and gave her a nod, she reached up and kissed his cheek again before bouncing away to the kitchen counter to grab her bag. He frowned at the fact the she was leaving right away but smiled at remembering how he would see her soon. He lead her to the door and out to her car opening and closing the door for her. She laughed at his good manners and then thanked him. When she drove out of the drive way and down the street he climbed into his car. He told her he would go home and shower then change into knew clothes but that probably wouldn't happen.

Right now he had something more important to do.

Sango threw the phone down onto the charger in frustration turning to look at Miroku "Guess what?" she asked.

"What?" He said looking up from his phone at his wife. She made her way over to the living room couch sitting down next to him. Both of them were off from work today, usually that meant they would have Inuyasha over but clearly he was busy that day.

"Inuyasha spent the night at Kagome's." Sango scoffed.

"And?" Miroku said turning towards his wife.

"And?! And that is a very bad thing! Kagome has been divorced for three months! I told her to move on but I didn't mean to move on to the man she saw!" Sango exclaimed.

Miroku sighed and tossed the phone onto the table taking Sango's hands into his. "Look it may be too soon but-"

"May be?!" She yelled. "They met two days ago!"

Miroku sighed and hushed his wife before continuing "if I know Inuyasha nothing happened last night and-"

"I know nothing happened last night! Kagome wouldn't like to me. I just think there moving too fast."

Miroku sighed and let go of her hands, clearly he wasn't gonna get a sentence in this conversation.

"And I think that Kagome is to fragile right now. She'll get so hyped up on Inuyasha that she'll get scared and try to back out which will hurt him."

"So your worried for Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"No i'm worried for both of them. If Kagome backs out like I think she will then end up hurting Inuyasha and herself."

Miroku nodded understanding now where his wife was coming from. "I think Inuyasha can handle that."

"Can he really? What about him and his ex-fiance huh? Remember how great that went?" She said.

"Look Inuyasha and Kikyo weren't an ideal match. He loved her a lot but she only saw him as a friend and used him to get ahead in her work status. If he didn't become depressed after all of that I would've thought something was mentally wrong with him." Miroku said.

Sango sighed crossing her arms over her chest "Yeah your right, but I don't want Kagome to hurt herself and ruin her progress and send Inuyasha back into a depression."

"Inuyasha is a strong guy. Kikyo helped make him stronger by breaking things off. He didn't know how to live on his own without someone in his life and by doing what she did he learned how to be truly independent."

Sango nodded turning to face Miroku "Do you think he told her?"

"Huh?"

"Inuyasha, do you think he told Kagome about Kikyo?" Sango asked.

Miroku's face flushed as he lowered his head "he told her he was engaged, but said he broke off the engagement..."

Sango's face cringed at this "Why did he do that?"

"Because he was afraid that if he told her how he got dumped she would try and pity him." He said.

"How do you know all this?"

Miroku sighed "Friday night before Kagome found us fighting on the floor Inuyasha asked if I could keep a secret. I said sure, which obviously now was a lie. Anyway he told me he had told a white lie to Kagome and he felt really bad about it. He said he didn't want her to pity him and that he wanted to look strong for her so she felt he could be a shoulder to cry on when needed."

Sango desperately wanted to be mad at Inuyasha for lying to Kagome, but his reasoning only melted away at her heart. "That actually sounds really nice.." Sango mumbled.

"Yeah, I told him that he should tell her the truth and he said that he really wants to but that he thinks he should wait till he is a bit closer to her so that he can still be considered her shoulder of tears." Miroku smiled "Deep down the guy really does have a soft spot."

"Yeah...do you think he'll tell her at there date?" Sango asked her curiosity growing deeper.

"I think if he feels the time is right he will. So we'll just have to wait and see." Miroku shrugged wrapping an arm around his wife.

"If he hurts her I will shoot his balls off." She added.

Miroku smiled and laughed "I know."

When Inuyasha stormed into his work building that Monday afternoon, everyone can sure say they were surprised. Inuyasha showing up to work was one thing, but coming to work on his day off was another thing.

The receptionist stood to greet him with a flirtatious smile like always but he just ignored it and proceeded to Ayame's office.

The door was closed but that didn't stop him from barging in, like he Imagined she was sitting at the desk tapping her little fingers away at her lap top. She stopped to look up at him her eye brows raised.

"Knocking is a wonderful thing my friend." She stated. He turned around and shut the door before walking over to his desk slamming his hands down onto it.

"I can't believe you." He seethed the blood coursing through his body. He had been contemplating the whole situation in his head of Kouga and Ayame and couldn't believe he had been so stupid. He remember 5 months ago Ayame talked about a new Wolf demon she met that took her breathe away. Said he was the long time boyfriend of a close friend but that he had been flirting with her. She asked Inuyasha for advice and he said that she shouldn't move in on him unless he was single.

Guess she didn't take the advice.

"Inuyasha what are you talking about?" She asked watching the angered man.

"Kagome was your friend! And she is still your friend!" Inuyasha yelled. He didn't know how to talk this situation out, he barely knew anything about Kouga and Kagome's relationship so fighting with her on that would've been a lost cause but he sure as hell could fight with her over betraying Kagome.

"Yeah and?" She asked clearly oblivious to what he was going for.

"And your sleeping with her ex-husband?!" He yelled.

Ayames face turned pale as she stared at the man, the room suddenly became hotter and she couldn't help but notice her hands were starting to get clammy. "How...did you find out?"

"You left Kagome a voice message... I heard you talking to him in the back ground."

Ayame uttered a curse before looking at the hanyou again. "Why did you hear the voice mail?" She asked.

Her attempt to change the subject wasn't going to work on him, he merely shot it down with a wave of his hand "Don't even try that bullshit on me. Your going to answer all my damn questions or we are gonna have a big problem." He hissed.

Ayame stared at her co-worker, she desperately wished she could threaten him with his job but the only problem was Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru owned the entire building and company that they worked for. If anyone was at stake of losing their job it was her.

"Fine." She seethed "What do you want to know?"

"Were you the one Kouga cheated on Kagome with!" Inuyasha yelled.

Ayame paused for a moment before responding "No..." she muttered.

He slammed his fist down onto the desk, her lap and pens scattered onto the floor as his breathing harshened "Dammit bitch don't lie to me!"

"Okay fine yes it was me!" She yelled.

"Why?!"

Ayame slumped back into her seat running her hand across her forehead, she was sweating now, it certainly was getting hotter in that room. "I-i don't know. When Kouga and Kagome got married I was there as her bridesmaid. I kept staring at Kouga and couldn't help but notice how handsome he was..." Ayame sighed. Inuyasha just stared at her rolling his eyes he knew she was gonna try and play the victim card. "One day it..it just.. it just happened."

Inuyasha shook his head tired of her beating around the bush "What happened and when!"

Ayame sighed a single tear falling down her cheek "two weeks after their honey moon..." She saw how Inuyasha's face cringed and gave her a disgusted look "I got a little to drunk at a bar and called Kouga to see if he would drive me home...I admitted to him that I found him extremely sexy and I don't know it just happened. He kissed me and the next thing I knew he was climbing out of my car to put his pants back on. We both felt extremely guilty and promised it wouldn't happen again but after that we couldn't stop."

"So for the next two years of their marriage you were his mistress?! How could you do that her?!" He yelled.

Now Ayame was really crying, her shoulders were slumped over as she cried into her hands "I didn't mean to hurt her! He kept telling me that we would be together soon that he just needed to make sure he had enough money for the divorce and to pay her retributions..." She cried harder into her hands.

"She was your best friend how could you even think of going after her husband?!" He screamed not caring a single ounce about her crying.

"You think I don't feel bad about what I did?!" She yelled standing up now her hands clenched into fists "I was in love with Kouga and he was in love with me what was I suppose to do?!"

"You were suppose to be a friend! If Kouga and Kagome weren't meant to be together they would've gotten a divorce eventually! She may have even been able to handle it better knowing it was just for mutual reasons but you made it so she got told her entire marriage was a lie!" Now his hands were clenching the sides of the desk, he desperately wanted to toss it aside but he kept his temper in check.

"You hurt Kagome! You hurt a woman who didn't do anything wrong!" He yelled.

Ayame fell back against the chair again crying into her hands. "I know I know I am so sorry! I wanted to tell her but the thought of losing her as a friend is unbearable. Even Kouga wants to try and work things out see if he can hold a friendship with her. He loves her dearly he always has but he didn't love her the way she did anymore."

"Because you threw yourself at him! For all we know he may have just had a giant lust for you that out matched his love for Kagome and may go running back to her any day now!"

Ayame looked up from her hands at Inuyasha, her eyes shifted from being upset and remorseful to anger and hatred. She stood up and in one swift blow smacked Inuyasha across the face. At first the hanyou was shocked touching his cheek tenderly as it throbbed then he realized something. He found the weak spot.

"Don't you dare say that! KOUGA LOVES ME!" She shouted.

He huffed "Yeah like he loved Kagome right? Face it. If another girl comes into the picture your trash to him." He scoffed before standing up straight turning to leave. "your scum you know that?" He said before opening and slamming the door shut as he left.

Some co-workers had been standing at their doors listening, now they all knew the kind of woman Ayame was. That wasn't why he went there, and he felt a bit bad about that but he also felt good.

He left the building as soon as he could checking his phone to see if it was time to meet Kagome. He still didn't know if he was gonna tell her about Ayame and Kouga or if he was gonna have Ayame tell her herself.

He was hoping that he scared Ayame enough so that she would admit it herself. But he wasn't sure if it worked.

But sure enough Ayame was scared. As she stared at the door of her office, her heart pounding loud in her chest she couldn't help but think about how quick things had turned to shit. She sat in her chair looking at the scattered remains of pens and her broken name plate.

She quickly picked up her bad pulling out her phone running her shaky hand through her sweat covered hair.

She dialed the number into her phone and waited as the ringing continued. It felt like she was going to burst if she didn't talk to him soon.

"Hello?" She heard as the third ring stopped

"Kouga it's Ayame.."

"Hey babe I was just about to call and ask if you wanted to get some lunch?" He said.

She smiled at the nice gesture but quickly remembered why she called "I can't we have a problem."

"Really? What's wrong hun?" Kouga said his voice sounding worried.

"Inuyasha...he knows..about us..apparently he has been hanging out with Kagome and...and" Her breathing became thicker as the tears escaped her eyes "He heard your voice on the message I left..and he put it together...he knows about us..and what we did..."

Kouga stayed quiet on the phone for a few seconds before sighing "Inuyasha Taisho?" He asked.

She nodded a had wiping away at the tears on her cheeks. "Yes kouga.."

"Is he going to tell her?" He asked.

"I don't know..but Kouga...isn't this a good thing? I mean your divorced so wouldn't it be-"

"No Ayame it wouldn't be okay. You know how big my company is, any slander will ruin it for good. The divorce was hard enough to keep under wraps, and our vacation was even harder to hide. We can't let her find out and we can't let him leak this out to anyone."

Ayame nodded understanding where he was coming from with this "So what do we do?"

He sighed again "Don't worry Ayame..I'll take care of it."

Haha...cliffhanger.
