Now, on with the chapter

Chapter 5: Of Neanderthals, Gorgeous Hunks and Perverts

After a short interrogatory, from which they got nothing, Koga gave up and decided to go back to their desk. As they walked out of the elevator Kagome limped to her seat with Koga on her heels. As they sat Kagome spoke with a sigh.

“I am dying for a coffee… I couldn’t get any this morning.”

“Oh, there’s a coffee store down the street,” he said only to stop when he remembered Kagome’s ankle. “But if you don’t feel like going out, you can go over to the coffee table and help yourself with plain black coffee.” He finished lamely.

She blinked and stared, trying to hold back a sharp remark. “Thanks...” She said when her partner did no move of getting up. With a resigned sigh she stood up and began limping towards the coffee table at the corner. ‘Honestly, one would think that gentlemen would still be left in this planet...’

“Hey, Kag!” Koga called. “Would you mind bringing me a cup too please, sweet-pea?” He asked while going through some files thus missing Kagome’s glare.

“My name is not Kag and I’m not your sweet-pea.” She snapped at him.

“Okay, you don’t have to fret over it, Kag. I’ll go to the coffee store on my way out, anyway.” He said as he got up and began walking to the elevator. “Why don’t you put the files in order while I’m out, honey?” And with that he got into the elevator disappearing from Kagome’s sight.

‘Ok, breathe, Kagome, breathe... one... two... three... no, not working....’ She thought as her anger fuelled. ‘My god does he have a nerve! That... That.... Grrr!! Jackass! Who does he think he is?? My husband? And not even if he were, damn him...’ She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. ‘Okay... He’s nothing Kagome, just a male so don’t let him get on your nerves, lets go to the more important things... Coffee... That’s all that matters now.’

She walked to the coffee table and grabbed a big cup and filled it with the addictive black liquid. As she was sipping the hot beverage a voice came from behind her startling her.

“How did our criminal behaved, detective Higurashi?”

“Dr. Inaba.” She greeted him. “He was not very responsive actually. Didn’t answer a damn thing... Though I must admit that detective Warashito didn’t allow me to talk much, he went all alpha male on me.”

“Ah... Well yes, I’m afraid that our detective is a bit of a Neanderthal.” He said with a smirk as he filled a cup of coffee for himself. “I take it that he said he’d manage the man just fine?”

“Something between those lines, yeah. But anyway, the man did not say a word... I don’t know, there is something about all this that just doesn’t click, you know? I mean, why would the man follow me to attack me just because I said where he had to put the boxes? It just doesn’t sound like a reason to me.”

“Well, for what I could study of our man he is not the most clever person, but he does have a history of abuse and violence towards women...”

“Yes, that’s what your profile said... But I don’t know... I have a feeling that it’s not just that. Call it woman intuition, if you want, but the feeling is there.”

“Well, I have plenty of confidence on you women and your intuitions... You may be right, and if you are then that means-”

“That someone sent him to kill me.” She finished gloomily.

“Maybe not kill you but just scare you.” He said, though he didn’t believe it so. “Who could want to see you dead?”

“My father’s murderer for a start.” She said as she drifted to her thoughts. ‘That only leaves two candidates... But he saved me... Though maybe he did it exactly for me to think him innocent, maybe he arranged all this just to set a scene, but then again-’ Her thoughts were interrupted by Miroku’s voice.

“Then that means the Hanyou is not your father’s murderer,” he stated.

“Why do you say that?” She asked and told him what she had been thinking. “Maybe he set this whole thing up.”

“Why would he do that?” Miroku asked curious as to see how this woman’s mind worked. He knew the Hanyou hadn’t killed her father, but he couldn’t tell her that.

“Perhaps he wants me to think him innocent.”

‘Twisted... I like it, if I wasn’t sure of Inuyasha’s innocence I could positively support her idea.’ He thought as he looked at her. “Do you really think he would take the trouble of hiring someone who, I might add, could sell him out, instead of doing the job himself?” He finished shaking his head. “It doesn’t convince me. Can you honestly tell me you believe that?”

Kagome recalled the night before how tenderly he had hold her when she began falling... And his kiss, a man who kissed her like that wouldn’t try to kill her, right?’ She thought as another memory, this time of those words he had said to her came rushing through her mind:

By the way... I didn’t kill your father.

“Kagome?” Miroku asked when he saw her drift away.

She napped back to reality and realized Miroku was waiting for an answer.

“Do I honestly think he could have set the whole thing up? No, not really, but that doesn’t mean I will discard the option for complete.”

‘Fair enough,’ he thought as he followed her to her desk. Reaching it he noticed Koga’s empty place.

“Where is Koga?”

“Huh? Oh, I think he went to the seven eleven, I don’t know, I was to livid to pay attention to him.”

Miroku chuckled at her choice of words. Only to wince when she said: “Oh, by the way, Captain Yukitaki was looking for you.”

“Oh, really?” He asked innocently.

“Yes really. She was pretty mad, so you better get there fast.”

“Yes, you’re right. Kagome I am admired by your beauty only being equal by your intelligence.” He complimented her as he grabbed her right hand with his left one as his right one slowly began creping to her back.

“Yeah, right. Watch it Miroku or you will find yourself having only one hand left.” She threatened him, not missing the hand stretching towards her derriere.

He quickly let go of her hand and stepped back, his both hands raised up as if a common criminal while smiling all the time. “Sorry. I’ll go see the captain now.”

“You do that.” She said as he watch him turn around and walk to the captain’s office. She couldn’t help a smile as she shook her head. ‘This man is impossible. But I think we will get along just fine... As long as he keeps his hands for himself.’ She thought as she sat and began arranging the files, lacking of something more interesting to do.

****

Inuyasha hanged up the phone and finished sipping his coffee. ‘That mangy wolf, he better leave my Kagome alone or else... I’ll teach him to mess with other men’s women. Stupid ass...’ Growling a curse he washed the cup and walked to the bathroom to shower. After the shower he went to his room and look at the clock on his nightstand, it read 10:05. ‘Okay, time to get ready for my first class.’ He dropped the towel on the floor and walked naked towards his closet, opening the drawers and grabbing red briefs, a pair of socks, a black jersey and a pair of jeans. When he was all dress he went to the bathroom again and began combing his hair to then tie it in a low pigtail.
The clock read 10:45 when he was ready to go. His first period begun at eleven thirty, so he had time. He went to the kitchen, put some Zoltan’s food on his plate and look down at the following animal.

“Okay, so Mrs. Kuwai will come to feed you again later on, as usual. I’m going out with Miroku, so don’t wait up, mate.” Zoltan yelp a friendly bark and he patted his head. Walking to the door, he grabbed his coat, gloves and keys and left for the University.

As he gave classes his thoughts wondered towards his beautiful new neighbor and the problem he had between hands.
‘I shouldn’t have kissed her. Stupid ass, you should conquer on her as Inuyasha not the Hanyou,’ he thought as he growled subconsciously. His students on the front role eyed him strangely and he snapped back to the class.

“Hum... Professor Kawamoto... Are you alright?” Asked a pretty girl sitting in the middle of the front role.

“Yes, Ms.Yashio, quite fine thank you. Well people, did you finish the equation? Do you think it’s possible to do the experiment with out you all blowing the university in pieces?”
The students laughed used to the humor of their professor, the female body of the class sighed dreamily, watching his tight bum muscles tense as he walked to the blackboard. He has one fine ass, was the thought that crossed through all the girls. But there was no use, this professor was not into the whole professor/student forbidden relationship and didn’t let it pass the academic level. The bell rang and the students abandoned the room as if chased by rabies, Inuyasha thought amused by the students’ reactions. He had to prepare a test for next week.
Being one thirty in the afternoon he headed to the cafeteria to grab some snack and a cup of coffee and then go to his other and final class this day.

‘And after going home, I’ll go pick Miroku...’ He thought. “And maybe I’ll get to see the beautiful Kagome.’ He finished with a smile.

*****

The beautiful Kagome was in a dreadful mood.

‘That stupid jerk! It’s not enough I order the disaster he’d make with the files, no, he has the nerve to tell me it was wrong and he will teach me how to do it!!!!! Grrr, I don’t ever think I wanted to smash someone’s face like I want to smash his.’

While Kagome rabid, the stupid jerk was smiling at her adoringly, of course if he would have heard Kagome’s thoughts he wouldn’t be so happy... but then again he wasn’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree, so...

‘Just half more hour... then, off home where a bubble bath is expecting me as a reward for this horrible day. Only half an hour, thirty minutes, that’s not much...’

“Hey Kagome, do you want to go for a drink later on, when we are off? Maybe we could get to know each other better, what do you say?”

‘On the other hand, thirty minutes can prove to be an eternity, now can’t it?’ “Uh, I don’t think so, my ankle is really bothering me... Maybe some other time.” She finished with a polite smile.

“Oh sure! Of course, your ankle, I didn’t think.” He said laughing.

‘Now really that’s a surprise...’ She thought sarcastically as she smirked. Suddenly Koga’s laughter died and he turned serious.

“Son of a bitch.” He said under his breath.

Kagome was shocked at his tone; she had only heard that tone when he spoke of the Hanyou... He can’t be here, right?’ Quickly she turned around and was greeted by a most welcome sight. No, it was not the Hanyou, but it was fine by her. Her eyes met with smiley purple ones and she smiled to him. ‘My, he is handsome.’

As he began walking towards her, Kagome could see the ripples of his muscles against the fabric of his black jersey and almost sighed at the sight.

“Hello there Kagome.” He greeted her, flashing a white smile.

“Hi,” she replied still smiling. ‘Say something you moron! Don’t just stay there staring at him... Say something now!’ She ordered her brain. “I twisted my ankle last night.” ‘Oooh, that’s just great, Kagome! Smooth, really smooth!’ She thought bettering herself.

“Really? Are you okay?” He asked with a concerned frown.

“Yes, thank you.” They stared at each other without saying anything and Kagome felt like she could drown on those pools of purple, until she heard:

“What the fuck are you doing here? And how do you know Kagome?” Koga demanded furious.

“What I always do when I come every Monday, you flee-bag. As for how I know Kagome, she is my new neighbor, not that that is any of your damn business.” Inuyasha said.

“You two know each other?” Kagome asked looking from Inuyasha to Koga, a bit alarmed by the red color the face of the latter one was turning.

“Yeah.” They both said still glaring daggers at each other. The tension increased a notch when Inuyasha said:

“Are you still mad at me because of last night?”

“Last night?” Kagome asked confused. She didn’t remember being angry.

“Last night?” Koga echoed. “What do you mean last night?”

Inuyasha ignored him and asked her: “So, am I forgiven?” Seeing Kagome was still confused he cleared, “about the Hanyou issue?...”

‘The Hanyou issue? Wha- Ooh, that!’ “Oh, that. No... I fear I should be the one apologizing, I overreacted.”

“No, no, really, I shouldn’t have said what I did.”

“No, I shouldn’t have-” She began but was cut by Koga.

“Ok, we are all sorry. We get it. Now, would one of you explain to me what ‘last night’ means?”

“It’s non of your business, whelp.” Inuyasha snarled at him.

“Who are you calling a whelp, you dog shit?”

‘Dog shit? Whelp? What are they, two?’ Kagome thought as she rolled her eyes.

“You are not at it again, are you?” A new voice inquired from behind Kagome.

“Stay out of it Inaba, this mutt is going to learn a lesson.”

“I would like to see you try it.” Inuyasha said with a taunting smirk.

“Alright, if you are done with the Monday ritual, Inuyasha, maybe we could go?” He said as he slowly crept his hand towards Kagome and patted her on the ass. Kagome screamed and as quick as an offended woman can be, slapped him hard on the cheek.

“Pervert!” She yelled at him.

The two quarreling men turned to them and got the situation in the blink of an eye.

“Don’t touch her!” They both growled at Miroku as they began nearing him to teach him a lesson.

“Hey, hey, she can fend herself pretty well, no need to get violent here.” He said smiling, all the while caressing his marked cheek. He glanced at Inuyasha and said: “Ready to go, mate?”

Inuyasha growled at him and said: “In a minute.” Then turned to Kagome. “So, am I or am I not?”

“Huh? Oh, forgiven… Yes of course you are.” She told him with a smile that started to boil his blood. As a minute passed and they still stared at each other, though finding it very amusing Miroku had an urge to leave.

Clearing his throat he said: “Uh… Yasha? Could we please go already??” The urgent tone in his voice snapped Inuyasha from his stare. Glancing towards Miroku he said: “Sango?”

“Yeah.” The psychologist squeaked.

Inuyasha sighed. “Okay. Let’s go. Later wimpy wolf.”

“Fuck you dog-breath.” Koga seeded.

“Kagome…” Inuyasha pinned her with smoldering eyes and said, “I’ll see you soon… I hope.”

“Yeah… Ok… Bye.” ‘Gee, Kagome, you could teach lessons on how to respond to a gorgeous hunk,’ she snorted in her head.

The captain’s door flew open and Miroku quickly said his goodbyes to them and he and Inuyasha left, waving as the elevator’s door closed behind them.

“INABA!” Was the captain’s yell as she came stomping towards her. “Why did he leave? Why is it that every time I look for him he slips through my fingers?” She asked to no one in particular.

“Well, I’m off home now. I’m tired. I’ll see you all tomorrow. Byeee.” Kagome said as she picked up her coat and limped towards the elevator.

Once outside the station she breathed heavily. She was tired, and she still had some unpacking to do. As the cab drove her home she thought of her last encounter with Inuyasha. Why was it that she became a stammering idiot whenever he was around her?? Did all handsome men have that effect on her? Well, maybe not all men but just two… ‘I sense a headache coming…’ She paid the taxi and entered her building and the elevator.

The sun had come down only a few minutes before, but it was pitch black at the hall leading to her door. She pushed the light bottom, but the lights never came on. ‘This is just great, just what I needed. Stupid bulb...’ She had just opened a tad of her door when she noticed that something wasn’t right. She frowned. ‘What the hell…?’
There was a light coming from the left side of her apartment… The kitchen… She hadn’t left any lights on when she’d left that morning for work. Slowly she grabbed the gun from her purse and began tiptoeing towards the kitchen’s door. Whoever it was, they haven’t heard her come in. As she pushed the door open she could see a figure, a man’s figure, bent over the fridge while humming softly to himself. She must have made a noise because suddenly he turned around and faced Kagome… And her heart stopped beating for a second before bellowing:

“What the hell are you doing here?”
