Chapter 6

What am I doing? Kagome thought as she drove back to her apartment. I've completely lost my mind. First Inuyasha kisses me, which I didn't mind so much. Then he kissed me again, also which I didn't mind that much. Now I'm going to dinner with him?? Kami!

Kagome groaned, "I have definitely crossed a line somewhere."

She berated herself all the way into her apartment and all the way to her bedroom when she gasped, "WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR TONIGHT?!"

She quickly set to pulling clothes out of her closet and throwing them on the bed.

"Inuyasha never told me how to dress. Should I go casual? Dressy? Dressy casual? What in the hell is `dressy casual' anyway? Why am I talking to myself??" Kagome exclaimed. Oh man, if he's got me talking to myself I've completely lost it.

As she was looking through clothes she'd pulled out her phone rang.

"Hello? Oh, hi mom. Good, good. Work's good, too. Yep, their fine. You know Miroku and Sango they never change. Oh, well yeah I was assigned a new partner," she said with a frown. How do mothers do that? "Inuyasha Taisho. No, mom I don't know what country his `people' are from," she rolled her eyes, "Actually, we're grabbing some dinner tonight so I should probably run. Yeah, mom, dressy casual, got it. I love you, too. Bye mom." What IS dressy casual?

----- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------

Before Kagome knew it seven-thirty had rolled around and her doorbell was ringing. She gave herself the once over in the mirror before dashing to the door. Taking one last deep breath she opened the door.

Inuyasha had apparently gotten bored waiting for her to open the door so he had his back turned towards her and was checking out her apartment building. When he turned back around Kagome forgot to breathe. He looked amazing. He had finally let his hair down and it hung in silver waves down his back. He wore a black ribbed sweater that fit him perfectly and Kagome could see that the position of field-trainer had done his body good! His black slacks finished up the look. He looked perfect.

As she stared at Inuyasha, he was staring at her. Her hair had been freed from the accursed hairclip from work and fell in beautiful waves framing her face. She was wearing a dark green sheer blouse over a black camisole and black-hosed legs reached up high under a black skirt that ended at her mid thigh. She looks beautiful.

"You look beautiful," he said, his mouth gone dry from the sight before him.

"Thank you," she said her eyes going to the floor. "You don't look so bad yourself."

He smirked and extended his hand, "This is for you." She looked up to see him holding a white rose.

"Oh! Thank you. Let me go put it in water real quick," she said waving him into the apartment. He leaned against the wall of the kitchen watching her grab a small vase and filling it with water. When she turned around she caught his amber gaze on her and this time she was not confused by the glimmer in his eye. It most definitely was desire. For some reason she didn't feel uncomfortable under the heat of his gaze and as she walked over to grab a leather jacket she actually swung her hips, teasing him.

"Leather, Kagome? That's hot, ya know that?" he asked her.

She laughed lightly, put her jacket on, and grabbed her bag before they headed out the door. When they got down to his motorcycle he turned and asked her, "You okay with getting on? I mean you are wearing a skirt."

"I'll manage," was all she said as she swept by him and placed her purse in the saddlebag. "Just as long as you promise to help smooth my hair when we get there."

He swung his leg around on the bike, put his helmet on, and turned the engine over and turned to get a glimpse of her getting on. She moved the helmet so all he got was a good look at the street and then straddled the motorcycle behind him, making sure her skirt didn't ride up too much.

She linked her arms around his waist and pressed her body to his back noticing his intake of breath before they took off for wherever he was taking her. She enjoyed the ride like last time and soon found that they were stopping outside a quaint little restaurant. She got off the motorcycle, her hands moving quickly up to her hair. I should've brought a hair tie.

She looked up to find Inuyasha standing before her. He lifted his hands up to stroke a few strands of hair. "It looks beautiful, Kagome. You shouldn't worry," he said before tucking a loose strand behind her ear. It reminded her of last night in the alleyway. Was it really just last night? It seems millennia ago.

"So, let's go inside. I love this place! People inside are nice, too," he said. They went inside and got a table. Kagome looked around. She had never even knew this place existed, so how did he know it was here?

"Inuyasha, I thought you just moved here. How did you know about this place?" Kagome asked and shot him an incredulous look.

"Like I said last night, my brother's in the Senate. We used to meet for dinner every once in awhile before he became super important," he said, not looking at her. She didn't want to probe right away and was thankful when the waitress came over for their order. Inuyasha even ordered a bottle of wine for the two of them.

"Were you close then?" she asked.

"My brother and I? A long time ago. Not anymore. We moved around a lot, didn't have a lot of friends, only had each other really," he said playing with his water glass.

Kagome's heart went out to him. She had a good amount of friends growing up and she couldn't even imagine getting through the Academy without Sango. "If you don't mind me asking… why aren't you two close anymore?"

Inuyasha's face darkened, "I wasn't good enough for the family."

"I don't understand," she said reaching her hand out to touch him. He pulled away from her reach and her face showed her surprise at his sudden gruffness.

"Don't you see? Until recently I was just an instructor. Not an officer in the Army like my dad, not an all mighty Senator. I was a half-breed to them, something in between boy and man," he spat out the world `half-breed' with a snarl.

"Inuyasha? Look at me," Kagome said softly. He lifted his head and she could see he was scowling and his eyes were full of hatred, anger, and underneath that: hurt. Kagome smoothed out the scowl from his brow with her hand and then brought it down to cup his face. "You're not a half-breed, Inuyasha. They have no right to make you feel like that, and if it's any consolation, all I see in front of me is a man. Strong and intelligent and nice, even if you are an arrogant jerk at times."

He gave her a small smile at this. He took her hand from his cheek and gave it a small kiss, "I'm sorry, Kagome. You wanted to get to know me and here I am spilling out my family problems onto you."

"We all have them Inuyasha. Try having a grandfather who thinks he can cast protection wards around the house to keep out evil demons. Or a little brother going through the first stages of puberty where even the smallest hair on his chin gets a coming out party," Kagome said smiling at him.

"You think I'll be invited to the party for the mustache?" Inuyasha joked and Kagome laughed.

Dinner carried on much the same way. They joked with each other, even bickered a few times over what types of movies they liked or over who had the weirder brother. Most of all, they enjoyed each other's company and found they had quite a bit in common after all. They both read some of the same authors (ones mostly who wrote mystery or horror) and both enjoyed going to the shore. Inuyasha learned that Kagome had a family cat named Buyo and she learned that he went to visit his great-aunt, Kaede, a lot during his free time.

Inuyasha paid for dinner after the protests of Kagome had finally ceased and they left the restaurant. Kagome feeling a little heady from the wine or just the night in general, was bold enough to capture Inuyasha's hand as they walked to the motorcycle.

Looking down at her Inuyasha asked, "Ever been to the Reflecting Pool at night, Kagome?"

"Uh-uh," she answered looking up into his eyes.

"Well then, let's go," he said pulling her over to his bike.

Inuyasha could've driven all night if it meant that Kagome would cling to him like she did. He could feel her breasts pressing against his back as they rode along and her fingers were making small circular patterns on his stomach.

He parked the motorcycle on the road that ran along the Pool and expected Kagome to get up right away. When she didn't he removed the helmet and looked back at her over his shoulder. She had her cheek pressed to his back but he could see she had this dreamy look in her eyes and was looking off into nowhere.

"Kagome? Want to go for a walk?" he called over his shoulder.

"Can we just sit here like this for a few minutes?" she asked him, scooting closer to him and placing her chin on his shoulder.

Instead of answering her he turned and placed a soft kiss on her temple and turned back to appreciate the park.

She sighed gently and her warm breath caressed his ear sending a shiver down his spine. Gods, how he wanted to kiss her again! It had been like heaven before, soft and warm.

"Ok, Inuyasha. I think a walk sounds nice now," she said getting up slowly from the motorcycle and he followed suit. He reached down and took her hand as they walked.

"There's no moon out tonight, Inuyasha," Kagome observed.

"Must be the new moon," he said gazing at her, "You know, a lot of crazies come out on the new moon."

"I thought that was during a full moon?" Kagome asked smirking up at him.

"You'd think that, sure, but the new moon makes it darker out. Scary things come out then," he said forming his free hand into a claw and looming over her. She giggled and pulled free from him.

"Oh, but Inuyasha! Who would save me from the scary things in the park?" she giggled and started to run away from him.

He took off after her as she disappeared into the trees. She giggled every once in awhile and he didn't know if it was from the chase or the wine from dinner.

"You forget, Higurashi, that agents are supposed to be excellent trackers," he said smiling. He was enjoying this. Enjoying that she was beginning to loosen up and trust him enough to let him take her out to dinner.

A small giggle was let out just up ahead and he made his way stealthily to the tree she was hiding behind. She couldn't believe she was playing hide and go seek and giggling like a little schoolgirl. But she was having fun again. Something she hadn't done in awhile.

She hadn't heard him plunging through the darkness for a few moments and she chanced a peek around the tree just as he pounced at her. Kagome shrieked as he grabbed her and then began laughing. Not just the tiny giggles she had been letting out throughout the day, full-blown laughter that reached her eyes and made them sparkle.

Once she calmed down she saw Inuyasha wasn't laughing although he was smiling faintly. He was watching her enjoy the game and in turn was enjoying her carefree laughter. But seeing his gaze caused the laughter to die in her throat.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered. He moved one hand from her arm and smoothed her lower lip. She had flushed from the chase and her eyes were bright from excitement.

"You're so beautiful, Kagome," he whispered before he lowered his lips to meet her own. The kiss started out as innocent as the one earlier that afternoon, but soon Kagome felt Inuyasha's tongue lick her bottom lip begging for entrance. She sighed and opened her mouth for him meeting his tongue with hers. He tasted faintly of the wine they had earlier and a bit like peppermint. She wanted to taste more, needed to taste more. She reached her arm out and found his waist, pulling him closer to her as she deepened the kiss.

He needed no further invitation for he felt a need for her as well, if not more. He fisted a hand into her hair at the nape of her neck and moved her head slightly to give him more access. His other hand went around her waist and held her to him even tighter. She felt him then, pressing lightly into the softness of her tummy. Her eyes fluttered open and even with no moonlight she could see that he had flushed at some point during the kiss. She was no longer embarrassed that she could feel him. He wanted her, like no one had wanted her before. He wasn't afraid that she was strong by herself, if anything he challenged her to be stronger. He wants me for me.

With that thought she slid her hand up behind his neck and pulled him even closer, pressing every inch of her body to his. She needed him, she wanted him, and she was no longer afraid to take him. Fuck the rulebook; she thought as she began kissing him more fiercely, delving her tongue into his mouth to touch every crevice, taste every corner, to be a part of him.

He was pleasantly surprised when her kisses became more enthusiastic, though he never stopped to question her insistence. So, he slid his hand from her waist up to cup her breast through her blouse, and when he received no protest continued his ministrations. Gently squeezing, he heard her moan into his mouth, which proved to only excite him more.

Feeling his excitement increase, Kagome was about to reach down and cup him when,

"What do you two teenagers think you're doing?" yelled a cop shining a light into their faces.

The two broke apart trying to regain a little pride, the two extremely flustered. After a few moments Inuyasha found his tongue first, "Officer, we're not teenagers. Actually," he said pulling out his wallet, "we're federal agents." He handed his ID to the cop. When the officer lowered his light to verify Inuyasha's identification Kagome acted quickly to smooth her outfit out and to fix her hair. Inuyasha saw her preening out of the corner of his eye and grabbed one of her hands.

"And you miss?" the police officer asked.

"Oh…" she didn't know how to answer. She had left her ID in her purse, which was now at the motorcycle, which was gods knew where. What had she been thinking? She never went anywhere without her badge!

"She left her badge back on my motorcycle. If you'd like to follow us back to where we parked we'd be happy to show you," Inuyasha saved her.

The cop looked to Kagome who nodded enthusiastically and then back to Inuyasha who was smiling, "No, no. I guess it's all right. I mean you are government and all. Just so you should know though, the park closes at 9pm so you should probably be moving along before the crazies come out." Kagome giggled when he mentioned the crazies, for hadn't they caused her to begin the chase after all?

"Thank you officer," Inuyasha squinted, "Hanley. You've been very kind, and we'll head on our way now." Inuyasha tugged on Kagome's hand to get her moving and they set off in the direction they had come running from. As soon as they were a safe distance away from Officer Hanley the two burst out into laughter.

"Man! I haven't been caught making out with a girl by a cop since… well; I've never been caught making out with a girl by a cop!" Inuyasha laughed.

"Did you see his face when you told him we were feds?" Kagome giggled. "He was like `yeah right buddy and I'm the president!'"

They laughed all the way back to the motorcycle. Standing next to their ride Inuyasha leaned down and kissed Kagome. It wasn't that long, it was actually quite simple, but Kagome loved it. It seemed so natural, so right.

"Hop on, I'll drive you home. You want the helmet? It's probably safer," he said holding out his helmet to her.

She shook her head, "I like the feel of the wind through my hair. But thank you, Inuyasha. That was… sweet."

He shrugged, pulling on the helmet and got onto the bike, and held out his hand to help her on. She rested herself against his back again, chin on his shoulder, and arms around his waist. He could feel a very intimate part of her pressing against him and thought, She's lucky Officer Hanley came along when he did, otherwise I probably would've taken her right there in the woods. He shook his head trying to expel the perverted thoughts that kept flying into his mind.

Kagome herself was lost in thought. Gods, I've never wanted someone as much as I want him. One minute he has me screaming AT him the next my body's screaming FOR him!

They made it back to her apartment soon enough and she got off reluctantly after giving him a squeeze.

"Um, Inuyasha," I can't believe I'm gonna do this, "do you want to come upstairs?" she asked looking everywhere but at him. He got off the motorcycle and removed his helmet.

He pulled her to him, "Gods, Kagome, I want to, so badly. But do you want me to?"

"I wouldn't have asked if," she began but he silenced her putting a finger to her mouth.

"All I've heard for the last two days is how you go by the book and you stay professional. I don't want you to go against some moral code because I'm pushing you to," he said lifting her chin up so she would meet his eyes.

"I," she began, "I'm confused, Inuyasha. You frustrate me so much. First, I'm yelling at you because you're a jerk, then I invite you inside because you're… well… you!"

He chuckled at her and kissed her forehead, "Can I tell you something, Kagome?"

She nodded. "I brought up your first day at field training back at the Academy yesterday, remember?" She nodded again.

"I was waiting, just waiting, for someone to move on that line and it happened to be you. I looked up to see what good for nothing rookie had dared move when I hadn't ordered them to."

She began frowning at him now. "Just wait, Kagome, I'll get there. So, I looked up to see these two beautiful blue eyes staring back at me like a deer caught in the headlights. But then you opened your mouth." Kagome cast her eyes down to the ground. It was always because of my mouth. Always had to have the last say, she thought.

"And I felt like I had never heard a woman speak before," he finished. Her eyes shot up to his, wide with shock.

"What?" she asked staring at him.

"You were full of such life, this little spitfire that no one could extinguish. No one had done that before or after, did you know that?" he asked her. She shook her head.

"I want to find that Kagome again, the little hotheaded punk who couldn't wait to prove herself out on the field. When we find her, Kagome, when we find her, then we'll go upstairs," he pulled her close and gave her a chaste kiss. "Until then, we'll keep it professional in the office and get to know each other outside of the office. Deal?" She nodded one final time.

She pulled away from him gently, "Thank you, Inuyasha, for a memorable evening."

"Goodnight, Spitfire," he said smiling. She leaned into him once more, but instead of seeking out his mouth she leaned down to his neck and placed an open-mouthed kiss there.

"Goodnight, Jerk," she said turning heel and heading into her building. She got up into her apartment and instead of turning on the lights right away went over to the window. Looking down she saw he was still there, waiting patiently to make sure she was all right. She waved to him and he saw her, despite the darkness. He waved back, smirking. Throwing on his helmet and starting his ride he drove off into the night.

Kagome almost floated to her bedroom. She had had the best night. She had joked, bickered, made out, and had the prospect of more with Inuyasha Taisho. And she had enjoyed every moment of it. The world had gone crazy!

She headed off to bed completely spent from the day and her thoughts once again traveled to the overly confident, sweet fool she had just spent the evening with.

Inuyasha pulled up in front of his apartment building at about the same time Kagome was heading to bed. Running up to his door on a natural high, Inuyasha was thinking of his time alone with Kagome in the park. Stepping into his apartment he was greeted with a cold nose slipping into his hand.

"Hey, boy. You been good tonight I hope," he said turning on the lights. "Got all the ladies out early before I got home?" He got down on one knee to scratch behind the Husky's ears. "She makes me crazy boy! She's feisty and smart, beautiful and totally sexy." The dog whined. "Exactly."

Inuyasha walked to his bedroom and pulled his sweater off when he heard Fang bark in the living room.

"Need to go out?" Inuyasha called and there was another bark. "Ok, ok, I'm coming." He pulled his sweater back on and went out to grab Fang's leash. Heading to the door he stopped when he saw a small envelope by the threshold. "Is that what you were barking at?"

Inuyasha picked up the envelope and opened it up. After reading briefly his mouth dropped open. Somehow he managed to get to his couch and sat down the letter falling from his hand and floating to the floor. Fang walked over to his master and placed his head on his knee.

Lying on the floor, forgotten for the moment lay a letter with a typed message:

Taisho,

You have until the next new moon to close your case. You don't find me or I find her. If you scent me too closely I kill her. I walk free or Higurashi joins the others. No more fun for you in the alleys.

There was no signature, only a small insignia of a spider.

"How can I solve this case and save her at the same time?" he asked the empty room.
