Now What?

Monday finally came around. Kagome did her usual. She woke up, got dressed, and went to work. Only this time, she would have plenty to talk about to Sango. She settled in her cubicle, and drank her cold coffee slowly. Her eyes moved to all the different workers around. She came out of her daze as Sango put a hand on her shoulder.

“Hey.” Kagome looked back at her.

“Hey.”

“So, heard Inuyasha took you home.” Kagome narrowed her eyes at Sango.

“And, I heard Miroku stayed with you.” Both girls looked at each other seriously.

But Kagome couldn’t hold it in and blurted out laughing. Sango smiled and giggled.

“Oh Sango, you should of seen what happened!” Sango held her hands in defense.

“We’re friends and all, but I wouldn’t want to see you in action!”

Kagome playfully elbowed Sango and both girls happily told their side of the story while taking a small walk around the facility.


Meanwhile, in the worker’s lounge, Inuyasha was talking with Miroku, both men pretty much into the same conversation.

“Damn! I knew she had something for ya’. But I didn’t know it was that bad!” Miroku rolled his eyes.

“I’m tellin’ you! She was like a ‘wild cat’! She couldn’t keep her hands off me. Besides, I’m not the one who babysat.”

It took about fifteen minutes for each to tell his own story. Each always exaggerating more than the other. By the end they were both chuckling and laughing together.

“If she wanted you so bad, why didn’t you fulfill her “fantasy”?” Miroku narrowed his eyes towards Inuyasha.

“Well, I’m pretty sure Kagome wouldn’t of minded some ‘lovin’ either.”

Both chuckled until they heard a gasp come from the doorway of the lounge. They snapped their heads towards the unwanted noise, and gasped themselves.

“Yeah Miroku, why didn’t you fulfill my ‘FANTASY’!?”

“I’m sure I would’ve enjoyed Inuyasha’s ‘LOVIN’!!”

Inuyasha didn’t know what to say. Miroku was speechless as well. As for Kagome and Sango, if looks could kill, their would be homicide. Nothing was said between the four. It was total silence, until Koga came around.

“Hey everybody!” He took a minute to glance at the room and at the situation. He cleared his throat and brought his attention to Kagome, who was still shooting daggers at Inuyasha.

“Kagome, I know it’s still early but, how about you join me for lunch today?”

Kagome met his gaze and smiled brightly, on purpose, much to Inuyasha’s dislike.

“I’d love too, Koga! But only if Sango can come too.” Koga smirked at his success.

“Yeah, sure. See you at twelve?” Kagome smiled innocently.

“Maybe even tomorrow, too?” Koga’s smirk turned into a wide grin.

“Even better Kagome.”

He reached down to take hold of one her hands and brought it to his lips. He placed his lips on her hand and kissed it tenderly and softly, all the while keeping eye contact her. Then, without Kagome noticing, he lightly dabbed the tip of his tongue on Kagome’s hand. Before letting go, he gave a slight peck on her hand once more and smiled his way out.
Inuyasha was fuming! He knew Koga had done it on purpose.

‘No fucking way did he just LICK MY bitch!?!’

The voices in his head were screaming and howling for a battle.

‘Rip his head off! Bite into his veins and pull them out! Shred him to pieces in front YOUR bitch! Let her know that she BELONGS to you! Scrape the licked skin off her hand!’


He quickly bowed his head as his bangs hung low. He had to try to calm himself before an ‘inner self’ came out. No one had ever seen him this way, and he didn’t want to scare anyone off, especially not Kagome. She was the last one he would ever want to scare.
He took deep breaths, in and out. He tried to think of anything that would tear his mind off of what he just saw. Of course no one saw what Koga had done. Inuyasha could practically smell his saliva on her hand, and Koga knew it would irritate him.
As long as he could smell it, there was no way he could calm down. It only made it worse. He could see it, himself turning tables and causing havoc in the office. Eyes bleeding red, the streaks on his face. . . .Kagome screaming for her life. No, he wasn’t about to do that. He cared too much for her to be scared of him. But why? Why did he care so much about her? She wasn’t special or unique. Whatever the reason, the thought of Kagome running away from Inuyasha calmed him to the spot. Not because he would enjoy seeing her leave, no, it was the total opposite. He brought his head up and looked around, only to see Miroku shaking his head and sighing.

“Where’d they go?” Miroku glanced towards him.

“Back to their ‘stations’ I guess.” He looked at Inuyasha closely.

“What?”

“You’re not about to cry are you?” Inuyasha blinked in confusement.

“What are talking about Monk!?”

“Well, you dipped your head when Koga had left, and when the girls left, you brought it up.”

“So!?”

“Your eyes are a little pinkish their buddy.” He patted Inuyasha on the back and headed out.

Inuyasha thought hard for a moment.

‘ I guess I didn’t calm down as much.’

He shrugged and walked out but, not before grabbing a pastry and deciding what he was about to do about Kagome’s hand, and Koga’s pride. He smiled evilly to himself and went towards his office, already devising a plan ahead.


Kagome sat at her cubicle angrily. Her typing on the keyboard seemed as if she was stomping on it with her fingers.

‘That good for nothing JERK!! Here I am, wanting to thank him for what he did on Fri., well, Sat. morning, and apologizing for my actions. Yet, he’s out gossiping with Miroku! And not just gossiping, they EXAGGERATE!’

“UGH!” She grabbed a small pile of papers from the counter of her cubicle and put them in a folder. Maybe if she walked around a bit, she could calm down.

‘Besides, who knows, maybe there’s gossip already!’

Sango was in the same predicament. She had practically yelled at a customer on the phone for turning down her offer. She decided then that she should stay off the phone for a while. Instead she found herself typing documents off files. But she was so angry, she made mistakes and would want to throw the keyboard and computer out her cubicle and into a ‘certain’ someone’s face.

‘That low-living, breathing, lecherous, perverted, ass-grabbing, flirting, ASSHOLE! How could he talk about me like that!? And Inuyasha?’

“GRR!” She whirled around in her rolling chair and stalked out of her cubicle. She couldn’t think, let alone work. She decided it was payback time. She would get back at the ‘monk’, and she knew exactly how. She made her way towards Ayame and decided to have a small chat with her.

Meanwhile, Kagome was going to make some copies when she was stopped by Kaede.

“Kagome?” Kagome stopped and glanced brightly at the elderly woman.

“Yes, Kaede?”

“Something troubles you dear?”

“No, I’m fine, why do you ask?”

“Well you look a bit distraught.” Kagome tried to hide her anger for Inuyasha.

“Nope, I’m fine. Thanks for asking.” Kagome made way to leave before Kaede stopped her again.

“Kagome. . .” Kagome turned her head towards her.

“Yes?”

“Inuyasha would like to have a word with you about one of the accounts.”

Kagome tried not to frown, she really did.

“Oh really. Now?”

“Yes.” Kagome sighed in agitation and proceeded to walk in his office.

She walked in casually and closed the door behind her. She walked about midway towards his desk before stopping. She kept her face stern and strictly professional.

“Yes, sir?”

Inuyasha was sitting on his chair, writing something. He looked up only to see her stiff form.
He knew she was like that only because she was angry. Her using formalities was a good way to show she wasn’t going to speak to him. But he had other ideas.
He stood up and stalked towards her. He stopped right in front of her and began to walk around her in circles, all the while looking at her petite body.
Kagome felt as if she was cattle who was about to be auctioned. She whirled her head around to face him.

“Sir, I believe you asked me in here for something?” Inuyasha went around her and stood in front of her.

He took a deep breath, and exhaled. He brought his hands together and stood comfortably.

“Kagome. . .I’m sorry.” Kagome blinked in confusement.

“What?”

“You heard me, don’t make me say it again. I’m sorry.” Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.

“For?”Inuyasha glared at her.

“Your pushing it.” Kagome innocently looked around the room, avoiding his gaze.

“I’m sorry sir, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“If you don’t get it then get out. I’ve already said my apologies!” He turned around walking towards his desk.

This is not what Kagome wanted. She wanted him to at least ‘pretend’ to beg, but somehow she knew it wouldn’t happen, not with Inuyasha.

“Why are you sorry? For blabbering to other people about my mishaps?!” Inuyasha whirled around to be face to face with her.

“It wasn’t other people! It was Miroku!”

“Still! And why did you have to exaggerate!? And say those things about Sango!?”

“That’s the way we MEN talk! None of it really means anything!”

“So what, you’re trying to play the ‘Macho’ part? Didn’t think you’d stoop THAT low Inuyasha!”

“Macho? I don’t NEED to play that part alright!”

“Sure, right! Just keep talking about other women-“ Kagome gasped and Inuyasha stared.

“What?”

“That’s what you do. You talk about women all the time! And I was just another one of those stupid, blind, girls!”

“What are you talking about?!”She didn’t make sense to him.

“Forget it! I thought I knew you, Inuyasha! Guess you’re no different from any of them.”

Kagome stormed towards the door. All she wanted to do was get out, out of his office, out of his sight, just out. She couldn’t believe that she fell for a jerk like him. After they had kissed. . .she shook her head and made way to grab the door knob. She managed to grab it and open the door about an inch, but it was slammed shut right afterwards.
She looked up to see a hand on the door. She turned her head and saw Inuyasha, apparently, he wasn’t about to let her out.

“Let me out!”

“No.”

“I said let me out, Inuyasha!”

He grabbed her by the shoulders and turned in a circle. He pushed her against the wall, not roughly, and pinned her there. It all happened too fast for her and she stared at him in bewilderment.
Somehow, being this close to her was breathtaking. He felt dominant, and felt as if she was his. He whispered huskily to her, all the while keeping serious eye contact. Every time her eyes darted somewhere, he would move his head for her eyes to meet with his.

“Listen, you’re not stupid, or blind. You see me for who I am.” Kagome scoffed and turned her head.

“Right. Like it matters anyway.” Inuyasha grabbed her by the chin and forced her to look at him.

“You matter to me, Kagome.”

Kagome was speechless. Inuyasha NEVER acted like this. He was ‘Mr. Bad-ass’! All time ‘Playboy’, ‘Mr. Don’t mess with me cuz’ I’ll kick your ass’!
He kept looking deep into her eyes. He sensed her discomfort, but he didn’t care. He needed to get his point across. He needed to let her know, that the kiss on Sat. morning wasn’t just because. He cared about her, he was willing to admit it now.
Kagome didn’t know how long she was standing there, looking in his eyes. His eyes, they were memorizing, like ponds of gold-amber. And not just his eyes, the words he said echoed in her mind.
‘I matter to him. . .’
She pressed her lips together, she didn’t know what to do. And his husky, low, voice wasn’t making it any better, she felt like she was in heat.
Inuyasha could smell her arousal. He knew he had gotten his point across, but he didn’t know it would affect her like this! Smelling her only made him aroused, and that created some what of a problem. Inuyasha hung his head low. Kagome only leaned her head against the wall.

“Kagome. . .”

Before she could react or even respond, Inuyasha brought his head up and kissed her hard. Kagome had yelped in surprise and began to return the harsh kissing.
Inuyasha pressed his body against hers, if the wall wasn’t so thick, he’d think they would’ve fallen through. He grazed his tongue over her soft lips, begging for an entrance. Kagome willingly parted her lips and both of their tongues swirled together. It wasn’t until Kagome felt the urge to do something. She ducked her own tongue in, while Inuyasha’s went in her mouth, she closed her lips and began to slightly suck on his tongue.
It tore Inuyasha open. He practically had no self control over it now. He placed a hand on her lower back, and pressed her onto him, wanting to let her know what she did to him. She could feel it, his arousal, and it only made hers a lot worse. She put her arms around him, this time, there was no gap in between them. With his other hand, he placed his hand on her waist, rubbing up and down sensually on her hip. Without noticing, Kagome wound one of her legs around his, rubbing up and down sensually herself. Inuyasha’s mind was going crazy.

‘Take her! Take her here, now! Let her know she your’s, and none other!’

He groaned and kept kissing her ravishly, Kagome didn’t mind, all the roughness was exciting her. With his hand at her waist, he rose it until it met the flatness of her stomach. She was wearing a loose blouse, thank ful she wore it. She pulled away a little, but not enough to where their kissing ceased. His hand went in and up her blouse slowly, as if he was trying to picture her, to remember what he was touching. He cupped her left breast, massaging it slowly at first, then making his way inside her bra to caress the nipple. Kagome was breathing fast and slow at the same time, she didn’t know whether she was breathing at all.

‘If this is affecting me now, how will sleeping with him be like?!’

She moaned lightly in pleasure at Inuyasha’s touch. Inuyasha left her mouth and made way for her neck. He sucked lightly and licked gently. Kagome was moaning lightly, and taking in deeper breaths, this told him to keep doing what he was doing. He made his way around her neck and sucked the flesh in between her neck and shoulder. His mind began to toy with him.

‘Mark her! This is your chance! Do it now and she will belong to you forever!’

‘She doesn’t even know me THAT well! She may not want to. She doesn’t even know what a MARK is!’

Kagome eyes were closed in pleasure. Him kissing her neck the way he was, sent chills down her spine. She felt the excitement grow deeper within her own sex. She opened her eyes a little, only to see the white blanket of hair atop of his head. Then she saw something. She strained her eyes and almost thought she saw a. . .point? Or something pointy come from a top of his head.
Inuyasha felt her stiffen a bit and was about to comment, but his phone rang.
They quickly stopped what they were doing, almost as if they had been caught, and stared at the black phone on his desk. Inuyasha grumbled a curse and went towards his phone and answered it.

“WHAT!”

Kagome readjusted her blouse, not to mention her bra. Suddenly she felt a little embarrassed being in the office and decided that the ‘conversation’ should be held until later. She fixed the hem of her skirt and decided to leave.
Inuyasha caught her movement and looked up to see her go for the door.

“Hey! Where the hell are you goin’?!” Kagome looked back towards him.

“You’re busy, I’ll come by later.”

“The hell you will.” He quickly hung the phone and walked towards her, all the while grabbing something that was on his desk.
Kagome couldn’t believe it, he had just hung up the phone like nothing.

“You just. . .hung up like that? What if it was important? What if-“

“Quiet wench! It was just my bastard of a half brother.” kagome gasped.

“Mr. Hakatashi!?” Inuyasha rolled his eyes at her.

“Yeah, big wow. I hung up on the boss man!”

“Inuyasha!”

“Anyways, still going out with wolf-boy for lunch?” kagome blushed pink.

“Yeah.”

“Why?!”

“Because I already said yes! That’s why!”

“Tomorrow?”

“Maybe.”

“Maybe?!”

“Well I don’t know yet! It all depends.”

“Skip tomorrow and come with me.”

“Is that some sort of demand?”

“Yup.”

Kagome was about to give him a piece of her mind but, he opened the door and pushed her out. Kagome turned and faced the closed door.

‘That stupid jerk!’

She was about to walk away when the door opened and out popped inuyasha.

“Oh and Kagome?” she glanced towards him.

“What!”

He walked out and grabbed one of her hands. He picked it up and it looked like he was about to kiss it. Boy, was she wrong. Right before putting it to his lips, he brought it back down and smothered a cherry jelly pastry on her hand. Kagome gasped in surprise.

“Inu-“ He smiled and went inside his office.

‘That idiot! What the hell was that for?!’

She wiggled her hand and made way to the bathroom to wash off the gooey substance.

Inside his office, Inuyasha smiled in victory. He wanted to smudge the jelly pastry on her hand so that it would wipe of the scent of Koga’s saliva and smell like cherry. Not only that, he didn’t mean for things to go so fast between he and kagome. But, that would add extra points to him if Koga would find out what he had done. He smiled and sat on his chair.

‘Going out with her, is definitely the right thing to do.’
