Kouga did Toga's bidding with a smile on his face, flowers, and muffins in hand. He knocked and rang her bell and waited, and waited and waited.

"Come on Kagome I know you're in there,"

"Im sick, go away,"

"Oh come on, im a demon remember,"

She groaned,

"If I leave you know inu papa is just going to show up,"

She groaned again, not that she wasn't grateful. She was just tired of all the fuss.

Kagome unlocked the door and glared up at him "You better tell him fine and that I ate all the muffins,"

Kouga stood there in complete shock. That damn dinosaur of a demon knew that's why he sent him, wasn't it! Dirty trick but then a smile graced his face because while Lord Toga knew, his dumbass son was none the wiser, oh this was too good. Gold in fact!

"Hello, earth to Kouga?"

Kouga shook his head, wait did Kagome not know?

"How are you feeling Kagome?"

"Uh, tired and really really sick of food, what is it with demons and food," She threw her hands up but turned to walk back inside, letting him follow her. "Is it some weird fetish I dont know about!"

"Eh something like that," His tale swished. He loved this but hated it at the same time. He sat at one of her bar stools. It must have been clear on his face for she put a hand on her hips and tilted her head sideways "What?"

His eyes met hers "What?" He asked back,

"You look depressed and you never look depressed,"

"Ah, it's just boring without you at work,"

Kagome rolled her eyes,

"Nice bathrobe,"

It was thick and plushy.

"Thanks," She sat down, "How is work going,"

He shrugged "Eh same,"

"No more getting thrown out windows I hope,"

"I ain't going near that asshole," But he was tempted,

"Im surprised he hasn't demanded me to come back, I know im so far behind on work,"

"You know what they say, absence makes the heart jerks heart- "He trailed off, not really knowing how to finish the sentence. Kagome giggled.

"You do look thinner,"

"Not you too!"

"Lord Tashio is just getting old and he is worried about you,"

"I can't believe he sent you,"

"I wanted to come anyway,"

She smiled at him,

"Everyone is worried,"

"It's just a cold I dont get what the big deal is, do you want tea?"

"Sure," Either she really didnt know, or she had gotten really really good a lying.

"When do you think you will be back?"

Kagome sighed "Im not running a fever, I guess I could wear a mask, do you think it would calm him down,"

Oh, it would calm one dog down but it was going to rile the other one way the fuck up.

"Just take it slow and be careful," He sipped the tea,

"It's a cold, it's not like im pregnant,"

Kouga spit out the tea.

"Kouga!"

"Sorry, sorry!" He coughed,

"What is wrong with you!"

"Hot," He said quickly "I drank it too fast," It was a good save.

Kagome shook her head and grabbed a hand towel, "I guess you can tell him I will be back tomorrow,"

"By him, you mean the pops and not sir jerks a lot, right?"

Kagome giggled "If they ever heard you say that you would go out another window,"

He smirked,

Kagome cleaned the mess "I guess both,"

He stood, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," He walked to her door. "I can tell the father," He opened it, "But I ain't tellen the dad," Then he walked out.

Kagome blinked a few times "Wait, what?" She shook her head, that man hardly ever made any sense.
