(a/n: Here. Told u id update soon. Btw, I got 95 visits in 2 days and 6 reviews. I decided it was a pretty good thing =P)

 

“Inuyasha. Inuyasha. Inuyasha.” The model repeated.

“What are you saying?” Sango asked her friend when she came back in her room.

“That's his name… It's so weird…” She said with a frown.

“Who's name? Your new bodyguard?” Sango asked nosily.

“Yeah.”

“So we can go shopping now?” She grinned.

“I guess. Hold it my phone's ringing,” she stated as a sweet little melody started playing.

She picked it up and checked the number.

“Hi Koga!” Kagome greeted with a smile as Sango sighed.

“Hey hun. What are you up to?” Koga's gruff voice was heard over the phone.

“Don't call me hun. I'm going shopping,” Kagome spoke into the mouthpiece as Sango sighed again.

“Can I come?” he asked, and Kagome could almost taste the anger that emanated from Sango, who was currently shaking her head furiously.

“No,” Kagome answered slowly.

“Why not?” Koga asked in his sweet kind of way.

“Because I'm going with Sango,” Kagome answered with determination

“But…” he tried to protest.

“Another time Koga,” she cut him off firmly, yet sweetly.

“Alright. I'll see you tonight,” he said with a sigh.

“Tonight?” Kagome gasped. Shit, I completely forgot!

“Yeah. You know, we're going to the restaurant…?” He said with a chuckle.

“Oh. Um, yeah,” she said uneasily.

“What?” Koga questioned.

“What `what'?”

“Is something wrong?” It was more of a statement than a question.

“No.”

“Yes,” he countered. “There's something wrong and I want to know what it is!”

“I sort of promised Sango-” the girl started uneasily.

“She can come too,” he said with a smirk. Nothing could keep him away from such his little model.

“Okay. I'll see you then,” Kagome sighed.

“Pick you up at 7?” Koga asked.

“Okay. See you. Bye.”

Kagome turned to Sango. She was looking at her with flames in her eyes.

“No,” Sango said before Kagome could even ask her.

“Please…?” Kagome begged.

“No!” She yelled.

“Come on! I promise we won't stay long!” Kagome whined.

“No!” Sango almost whined herself, placing her hands on her hips.

“For me?” Kagome pleaded.

“No-fine!” She sighed loudly, very much resigned.

“Thank you!” Kagome said as she hugged her tightly.

“Now let's go!” Sango hissed.

Inuyasha unpacked his things. His room was huge; and right under Kagome's. He could hear the girls laughing together. He liked the feeling it gave him. He put on some baggy jeans and a blue tee, just like Kikyo had said. He didn't know why, but that woman gave him the creeps. She looked a little like Kagome, but all about her seemed dead. Her hair had been tied up in a ponytail, but it still looked dead. Inuyasha walked out of his room and went downstairs to the hall. He was supposed to meet Kagome there. 

There she was, chatting with Sango. She really was pretty. She had to be; being a model. (a/n: that does sound weird…) He had to admit it to himself: she was very much his type. But she was his boss after all. All he would have to do was protect her.

“Hey!” she called to him.

“Hi” he answered.

“Okay, now that you're here, let's go,” Kagome smiled, and Inuyasha felt himself go weak.

“Let's take the Mercedes.” Sango said with a grin.

“Whatever” Kagome laughed.

 Inuyasha couldn't help himself from smiling. He really liked Kagome's laughing. He drove them downtown and waited in the car in front of each store. The afternoon wasn't so bad.

“I'm sorry.” Kagome said sheepishly as they walked through the door.

“Huh? For what?” Inuyasha asked, thoroughly confused.

“It's your first day and you had to take us shopping,” Kagome said guiltily.

Inuyasha really wasn't expecting that. He knew she was a nice girl, but for her to apologize to him because he had to take her shopping…

“Keh. It's nothing,” He looked away and crossed his arms.

She was a little surprised but just smiled and went up to her room with Sango. Before she walked in, she looked down at him. He was walking to the kitchen. She smiled again and walked in her room. 

“Somebody has a crush on somebody!” Sango teased, had she seen the smile on Kagome's face.

“I do not!” Kagome blushed.

“Wow, Kagome, you're blushing!” Sango laughed, chasing Kagome around the room while she started to take her clothes out of her bags and pile them up on the bed.

“No I'm not!” she almost growled.

“You haven't blushed since high school,” Sango commented with a smirk.

“Urgh! Leave me alone!” Kagome whined.

“No!” Sango laughed still.

“I dropped the whole `stylist' thing!” Kagome said pointedly, glaring at Sango.

“Fine…” Sango sighed. Note to self: Never mention Miroku again!

The girls spent the rest of the evening trying on their clothes and commenting on when to wear them. They actually had a scrap book with all the clothes they had and notes on when to wear them. They also put in notes on funny things that had happened to them while wearing these clothes.

Inuyasha was staring at the sea. He had a perfect view from his balcony. And not to mention he heard everything the girls said. 

She sounds so happy. I thought she would be the kind of snobby person who doesn't let anyone in. She actually apologized to me. I can't get over that. What a girl…

Kagome's giggled were suddenly getting a lot closer. She was now in her balcony with Sango. Inuyasha decided not to make a sound. He figured he might hear something interesting.

 

“Sango, about that guy, the stylist…”

“No,” Sango whined childishly.

“You don't even know what I was going to ask!” Kagome laughed.

“Yes I do. You want to know if I like him.”

“No. I already know you do, but tell me about him,” she requested.

“No!” Sango said as she shook her head.

“Why not?” Kagome chirped.

“Because I don't know him!” the older girl said pointedly.

“Oh come on! I can tell you asked him out!” Kagome giggled.

“No…” Sango denied, turning her head to look at the ocean so Kagome wouldn't see her blush.

“Then you hinted!” Kagome smirked.

“I- yes, I did…”

“Spill it out!” She squeaked.

“I asked if he was gay…”

“Huh?” Kagome gasped, her eyes widening. Did Sango consider that flirting?

“Yeah, stylists are usually gay. So I asked him. He said no, but that he was willing to change that to get the job,” she said and Kagome burst out in laughter. Inuyasha bit back a laugh as well. “So I said it was okay, I just wanted to know.”

“That's it?” Kagome whined.

“I told you it was nothing.”

“Well, it was enough to make you blush!”

“Oh really? What about you?” Sango started teasing again.

“What about me?” she said, looking away. Inuyasha was suddenly more interested.

“You were smiling when you came in the room.”

“So?” Kagome tried brushing it off, suddenly wishing she had never brought up Miroku.

“You blush at the sound of his name,” Sango continued.

Of who's name? Inuyasha asked himself.

“I don't !” Kagome denied heatedly.

“Yes you do!” Sango laughed.

“Try me!” she huffed, and instantly regretted those words.

“Inuyasha - see, you're blushing!” Sango smirked with victory as the said person grinned from below them.

“I-I…” she sighed, “yeah, you win…”

“Don't I always?” Sango said smugly.

Inuyasha smiled as he heard Kagome push Sango on her bed and hit her with a pillow. They laughed and played with each-other like little girls. Inuyasha stayed in the balcony listening to them the whole time.

She likes me. Inuyasha thought as his heart flipped in his chest. But she was his boss. He couldn't afford falling in love with her - wait, who in hell was talking about falling in love? She liked him - a little - and he wasn't going to blow this to pieces like the last girl he had been with. He was so protective and possessive she actually got scared of him and dumped him. That's why I'm so good at my job…

At six thirty, Inuyasha was watching tv is his room while doing push-ups. He suddenly heard a lot of commotion in the room above his. Sango was screaming. Inuyasha jumped to his feet; until he heard laughter: Kagome. He walked out to his balcony, thinking this was going to become a very bad habit of his: spying.

“Kagome! I can't believe you did that!” Sango was screaming. Inuyasha just realized she was in that room an awful lot. Did she share a room with Kagome?

“I just couldn't help myself…” she laughed again. She had written on Sango's new black dress: “I have a crush on my best friend's stylist” with red lipstick. Sango was going to rip her to shreds.

“It doesn't stain!” Kagome laughed as she ran away from Sango “I swear!”

How old were they again?

Inuyasha was walking downstairs for dinner. It was seven. The doorbell rang and Kagome went to get it as Sango followed. When she opened the door, Inuyasha was right next to her for protection. She didn't seem to notice. Koga appeared on the other side of the door.

“Koga. Hi.” Kagome smiled as he walked in and hugged her tightly. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Koga. It just had to be Koga.

“Dog-turd?” Koga asked when he finally let go of Kagome. (a/n: What was I supposed to do? It's the only nicknames I can use…even though they are NOT demons.)

“Wimpy wolf…” Inuyasha said with a smile.

“What are you doing here?”

Inuyasha snorted, then said “I'm the bodyguard, and you're getting a little too close for my comfort.”

Kagome was stunned. “You two know each-other?”

“Yeah,” They spat in unison.

“Well, that's interesting,” Sango started, “But we have to go now. Right Kags?” She said, feeling that Inuyasha would not allow Koga all over Kagome.

“Yeah,” She said, “We better get going.” 

Kikyo walked over to them. She was almost leaving when Koga came in.

“Kagome, isn't Inuyasha going with you?” she asked pointedly.

“No!” Koga answered boldly, “I'm way enough to protect my Kagome!”

“Koga, I'm not yours.” Kagome pointed out, to Inuyasha's great relief, “No, Kikyo. Inuyasha doesn't have to come. We're only going to the restaurant. It won't be necessary.”

“Fine. But if you get kidnapped, don't sue me.”

“Whatever.” Kagome dismissed her.

Inuyasha just stood there. He didn't know what to say. Was he supposed to react? He couldn't contradict his boss. He just `keh-ed', to Kagome's amusement. She sort of liked his rebellious side. She didn't really know him yet, but she knew he wasn't a suck-up.

“Bye guys. We won't be long.” Kagome said as she walked out the door.

Inuyasha heard Koga saying “Why not? I have a few ideas of what we could do” and Kagome answering “Shut up.” Inuyasha smiled. He had a feeling he was going to like this model.

Koga sat next to Kagome. “You look beautiful” he said. She was wearing a V-cut camouflage shirt and blue jeans that fitted her perfectly.

“Thank you. You look nice too,” Kagome smiled.

They ordered, ate, paid and left. Koga was flirting with Kagome the whole time. She just changed the subject every time he complimented her eyes…

XX

When Koga dropped the girls back, he expected a good night kiss, but didn't get any.

“Come on! One kiss!” he whined flirtatiously.

“No,” Kagome said coldly. Didn't he get that she didn't like him that way?

“Why not?” he countered.

“Because I said so. Now leave.” She ordered, sounding very much like a mother. “I'll call you…” She added with a smile when she noticed the hurt look on his face.

“Fine. See you hun.” He said while she walked through the door.

“Oh, and don't call me hun.” She said as she closed it behind her.

Koga smiled and walked back to his car.

“I'm going to kill you for this!” Sango growled right as they entered Kagome's room.

“Sorry…” Kagome said awkwardly.

“It was so boring! I felt like the third wheel! Koga was looking at you, talking to you, admiring you… I wanted to leave so bad!” She went on complaining.

“Sorry…How can I make it up to you?” Kagome asked, almost desperately.

Sango hesitated a little then said “Get me a date with Miroku.”

“Sure,” Kagome said with a laugh.

Inuyasha frowned as he heard what the girls were saying. I knew it! He was all over her! He stayed up until he didn't hear the girls anymore; which was pretty late.

XX

When Kagome woke up at two o'clock in the morning, Sango was in her bed. I guess we must have drunk before sleeping… Only one bottle of beer managed to make Sango tipsy…

She slowly got out of bed, only to realize she was only wearing a shirt and panties. Oh my god! I actually slept with Sango wearing this?

She put on a bra and some pyjama pants to go downstairs. She walked to the kitchen and was surprised to see that the lights were on. The cook must have forgotten to turn them off. Hitomi always prepared a light chocolate cake for Kagome every evening. She liked a midnight snack.

She gasped when she entered the kitchen. There was Inuyasha, sitting at the table, eating her cake.

“Hey!” She gasped.

“Wha- What?” Inuyasha asked her, confused at her mean behaviour. And why was she up so late anyway?

“That's my cake…” she pouted.

“Huh?” Inuyasha asked, even more confused now. After a moment of hard thinking - that didn't happen often - he “oh”ed and blushed.

“So, you like midnight snacks too huh?” she asked, sitting across from him at the table.

“Yeah,” he nodded.

“Aren't you supposed to be on constant diet or something?” Inuyasha laughed.

“No,” Kagome said with a glare. “I don't.”

“Keh,” He said with a blush and turned away. She laughed. “What's so funny?”

“You,” she said with a grin.

“Why?” he asked, confused all over again.

“I don't really know…” She smiled.

“Feh,” he said again, taking a bite of his cake.

She laughed again. 

“What are your plans for tomorrow?” Inuyasha asked casually.

“I have a shoot in the morning, then I want to go to the library, and I have to meet my stylist.” She giggled at the last part, looking forward to meeting Miroku.

“Going out with Koga again?” He asked, looking away.

“What?” she blinked.

“Sorry - that's none of my business…I shouldn't have asked…”

“No, it's okay. If you're going to follow me around all day, you might as well enjoy my company.”

“I guess…” He said with a blush. I already do…

“And no. I'm not going out with Koga. We're not even dating. He doesn't want to understand that though…” she sighed.

“Good.” He let it slip out.

“Huh?” she blushed.

“Um…yeah. He's not good enough for you,” Inuyasha stated with a genuine smile.

“And how would you know that?” Kagome laughed.

“I can tell,” he said simply.

XX

They spent a whole hour chatting and ended up eating the whole cake together. Then, they settled for push-ups.

“I'll do 50” Inuyasha said.

“I'll challenge you 75,” Kagome said smugly.

“You?” he laughed.

“Afraid?” she challeneged.

“Hell no.”

“Good.” She grinned. “The winner gets to dare the loser.”

So they started. Kagome was ahead of Inuyasha for the first 20 push-ups. Inuyasha took the lead when they were doing their 30s. They kept exactly the same rhythm until Kagome abandoned at her 40s.

“Loser!” he teased as they collapsed on the floor together.

“Shut up,” Kagome breathed. She was beautiful, breathing out that way…almost erotic.

“Now I have to dare you…” Inuyasha grinned.

“Go ahead.” She challenged.

“Okay, I dare you to...” he hesitated, “Kiss me.”

AN: Don't worry, I said I would write soon. Will she kiss him? Will she reject him?? Mwahahaha.
