Kagome's breath caught in her throat. "What are you doing?" she managed to squeak out.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha hissed in her ear. "Let's go before the other two notice you're gone."

Kagome tried to struggle, but only succeeded at making Inuyasha's grip stronger.

"I didn't want to do this to you, but you leave me no choice," Inuyasha whispered.

"What--"

Kagome blacked out.

When Kagome woke up, she found herself in a plush bed. She frowned. "Wasn't I just captured by the killer?" she thought.

Inuyasha came up with a breakfast tray. "Good morning, sleeping beauty," he said as he set the tray down. He stuck his hand out. "Name's Inuyasha. Nice to meet you, Kagome."

Kagome glared at him, but didn't shake his hand. "Feeling's mutual, I'm sure."

"Ooo... got yourself an attitude, didn't you?" Inuyasha smiled. You had better eat your breakfast, or you'll get weak."

Kagome eyed it warily. "Why, did you poison it?"

Inuyasha's smile faded. "Look. I'm trying to be nice to you here, giving you my own bed, bringing you breakfast, and making conversation with you, and all you've been doing is griping, complaining, and generally being a bitch."

"Well, if you're bothered so much by me, then I'll just leave," Kagome said, pushing the tray to the bottom of the bed and sitting up. Truth be told, she was almost sorry to leave the bed. It was soft and comfortable. As she looked around the room, she noticed the grandness of it. It was very large, had high ceilings, and was lavishly furnished. The room had several large windows, but they were dark.

She glanced back at Inuyasha. "What time is it?"

"Twelve noon, exactly," he replied.

"You mean twelve midnight," she corrected.

"No, twelve noon," Inuyasha said.

"Then why are the windows dark?" Kagome questioned, pointing to the black windows.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "For a cop, you're pretty stupid. Do you think I'd keep an estate like this out in the open? I've been accused of murder for kami's sake! We're underground."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "How could you do such a thing?"

"What, make a house that can go underground?" Inuyasha asked, confused.

"No!" Kagome said harshly. "Murder someone in cold blood! You mutilated that person so badly that nobody could identify it! We had to take DNA samples!"

Inuyasha's eyes locked onto Kagome's. "I did not kill that person. I don't know who did, but I did not. I would never kill someone."

"Yeah, right. All the evidence leads to you," Kagome scoffed. "How do you know my name anyway?" she frowned.

Inuyasha smirked. "Your badge."

Kagome stared at him in shock, then reached for her badge. Yep, it was gone, along with her gun, handcuffs, pepper spray, and everything else. Even the dagger in her boot was gone.

She looked at Inuyasha in rage. "Where's my stuff?"

Inuyasha continued to smile. "It's in a very safe place. But I couldn't let you keep it. I really don't feel like getting shot right now."

"You..." Kagome said, standing up.

"I wouldn't do anything too strenuous for a while if I were you," Inuyasha said. "I had to hit you pretty hard so that you would pass out."

Kagome narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, that's a compliment!" Inuyasha said.

"Right," Kagome replied.

"Anyway, I have business to tend to, so if you don't mind, I'll be leaving," Inuyasha said. He gestured to the food on the bed. "Eat, it'll make you stronger." With that, Inuyasha turned his back and began to walk out of the room.

Kagome realized that she probably wouldn't be able to get away from Inuyasha by force, considering he was a demon. That's what Kouga was around for. So she decided to keep him close and get away when she could.

"Wait!" Kagome said. Inuyasha looked back over his shoulder. "I want to go with you. This place gives me the creeps. It's too big."

Inuyasha cocked his eyebrow. "And being with a cold blooded killer doesn't?" he asked sarcastically.

Kagome frowned. "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so by now. I think. And it's like they say, 'Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.' Anyway, if you try anything, I can protect myself pretty well. I am a cop, remember."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I remember. I'm a little crazy sometimes, but I'm not senile." He pulled a chair up to the bed. "Eat, and then we'll leave."

Kagome eyed the food warily. "I'm not hungry," she said. Then her stomach betrayed her by growling loudly.

Inuyasha's eyes lit up as he started laughing.

"It's not funny!" Kagome huffed.

"Actually, it is," Inuyasha said. "The food's not poisoned. See?" He picked up a piece of scrambled egg with his fingers and ate it.

Kagome eyed him and then eyed the food, still not convinced.

Inuyasha sighed in exasperation. "Believe me, it's not poisoned. Like you said before, if I wanted you dead, I would have done away with you a long time ago."

"True..." Kagome said. She poked around in the eggs with her fork and tentatively took a bite. 'Mmmm... these are good,' she thought. 'I could get used to this.'

"So... you're a dog demon?" Kagome said, making idle conversation.

"Hanyou," Inuyasha replied. "Human mother, demon father."

"Oh... so where are they?"

"Dead."

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Kagome said, feeling a little sorry for him. Even if he was a killer, he was still human... well, half human. Her father had died when she was very young, and she didn't know what she'd do without her mother.

Inuyasha shrugged indifferently. "They both died when I was little. I've had to fend for myself for a long time. I don't really remember them. Now eat. We're going to be late."

Kagome nodded and ate the rest of the food on her plate.

Inuyasha nodded in approval. "You get dressed." He motioned toward the kimono on the end of the bed.

Kagome sat up. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "We're going out, not preparing for a street brawl."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, noticing for the first time that he was dressed up in baggy black slacks and a red silk button-down shirt with a black shirt underneath.

She sighed. "Fine..."

Inuyasha smirked. "Hurry up, or you'll make me late."

Kagome got up and looked pointedly at Inuyasha. "Well?"

"Well what?" he replied.

"Aren't you going to wait outside?"

Inuyasha blinked. "Why?"

Kagome gave a soft growl and frog-marched him out of the room. "Wait there." She slammed the door in his face.

Inuyasha blinked. "Women are strange..."

Kagome walked back to the bed and held up her kimono at arm's length.

It was a soft pink silk with white cherry blossoms across one sleeve and at the bottom. The obi was white, and there was a matching white hair ribbon and sandals.

"It's beautiful..." Kagome breathed.

After she put the kimono on, she tied her hair in a low pony tail at the nape of her neck and admired herself in front of the mirror.

"Are you done yet?" Inuyasha asked through the door.

Kagome opened the door. "Well, where are we going that I have to be all dressed up like this?"

"Out," Inuyasha stated simply. He looked Kagome up and down and nodded in approval. "You clean up nicely."

Kagome blushed and looked down, not noticing that Inuyasha had turned and started walking down the hall. When she finally realized it, she had to jog to catch up.

"Hey, wait!" Kagome cried in protest as she caught up to him. "What do you mean, out?"

"Out. As in outside," Inuyasha said.

"I figured that much..." Kagome growled.

"Very good!" Inuyasha said, sounding like he was praising a child for tying his own shoes.

Kagome glared.

Inuyasha ignored her.

"What do you mean, gone?" Sesshoumaru yelled to an already cringing Miroku.

Miroku shrank back. "Well, sir, uh..."

Sesshoumaru glared. "Sango?"

Sango stepped forward. "Yes?"

The dog demon chief sighed and sank back in his office chair, looking very weary. "What happened?"

Sango took a deep breath. "Well, we split up, and agreed to meet back. She never showed up. We looked all over and called for her, but we couldn't find her."

Sesshoumaru nodded. "We'll send the search team out ASAP."

AN: Well, I coughed out another chapter. I'm still not happy with it, but whatever. Even if you think it sucks, please review. It'll make me feel better about my poor efforts. Thanks!
