[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Four: Sugary Sweet
“Emily! What did I tell you about sticking LEGOs up your nose? No, Jack you cannot flush your cookies down the toilet. Eric, I swear if you take one more step towards that fish tank. Jimmy, darling, if you keep spinning like that you’re going to get sick. Mya, honey, stop crying, Inuyasha will find out where Tony put your doll. Jimmy stop eating paste, please.”
As Kagome was deep in battle in the never ending war of ‘child day care,’ Inuyasha was in interrogation mode. He was standing in front of a bored Tony, and was trying his best not to lose his patience with the boy. He pasted on a cheery smile and sat back on his haunches so his eyes were level with Tony’s.
“Okay Tony, where’s the doll?”
“What doll?”
“You know what doll. Mya’s doll. Where’d you hide it?”
“Ooh that doll. I hid it real good this time; no one’s gonna find it where I hid it.”
“Yeah, whatever, just tell me where it is.”
“Sure. But first there’s the issue of my fee.” Inuyasha stared at the kid. His fee? Who the hell did this kid think he was?
“Tony, if you don’t tell me where the doll is, I’ll tell your parents you’ve been stealing.”
“Like I care. Besides, my parents are in the Bahamas for the next month. I’m staying with my dad’s friend.”
“Well, then I’ll tell your dad’s friend what you’ve been doing.”
“Again, like I care. He’s not my father, he can hardly punish me.” Inuyasha was fighting hard not to lose his patience with the kid. He…Stupid baka. Arguing with a 10 year old. I’m Inuyasha Taisho for fuck’s sake. I’ve made some of the most powerful corporate leaders fall to their knees and cry like children. I’ve toppled corporate empires just for the hell of it. Am I going to let some child out-wit me? I don’t think so.
Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and put on his best ‘fine, let’s do this the hard way’ smile. He stood up, and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.
“Well Tony, you’ve left me no choice. I tried to avoid this, but I’m afraid there’s just no other way of handling you. I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to inform the police of your actions.”
“What’re you talkin’ about? The cops can’t do nothing to me”
“Oh, but they can Tony. You stole Mya’s doll, and stealing is illegal. What’s worse, is you’ve done it before, which means you’ve committed multiple thefts. I’m afraid they’re going to send you to jail for a very, very, long time.”
“But, but, it’s just a stupid doll! And I give it back every time!” Inuyasha could see this panic in the kid’s eyes. He felt bad for tricking him like this, but Tony couldn’t go through life thinking his actions didn’t have consequences.
“Yeah, you give it back, but only after you get something for it. That’s called bribery Tony, and bribery is also illegal. I’m going to have to tell the police about that too.” He made a move to flip his cell phone open, when he felt a sharp tug on his pants leg.
“Okay okay! I’m sorry, I’ll never do it again! Please don’t call the cops on me. I don’t wanna go to jail!”
Inuyasha’s heart broke when he saw the tears in the boy’s eyes. He kneeled down and put a hand on the boy’s shoulder.
“You’re not going to jail Tony. But you can’t keep taking things that aren’t yours. Look at Mya; she’s crying. You made her cry Tony. Don’t you feel bad for making such a pretty girl cry?” Tony nodded his head quickly, tears still rolling down his cheeks.
“I didn’t want her to cry, honest I didn’t. I, I just…I just w-wanted…”
“You just wanted her to notice you.” Tony nodded again, slowly.
“Do you think, now, that maybe you went about it the wrong way?” Another nod. “And do you think that, maybe you should go give Mya her doll back, and apologize for taking it?”
“I guess.”
“Good boy. Now go on.”
Inuyasha watched Tony walk over to a stack of board games in the playroom. He took a game from the stack and opened it to reveal a squished Raggedy Anne doll. Smart kid; I never would have thought to look there. Doll in tow, the boy walked slowly over to the crying Mya. She really was a pretty little girl. Curly blond hair that framed an angelic heart shaped face, and bright green eyes. Inuyasha could already see the beautiful woman she would grow up to be. Though he was on the other side of the room, Inuyasha picked up every word said between Mya and the blushing Tony.
“Hi Mya. I’m s-sorry.” He held out the rag doll shyly. Mya quickly snatched it up and hugged it tightly.
“Thank you Tony.” She grabbed his hand and pulled him with her as she ran to go play with the other kids. Tony followed blindly, happy to be forgiven by the pretty angel. Inuyasha sighed, shaking his head. She’s gonna have that boy wrapped around her little finger.
“Nice work Inuyasha.” Somehow he hadn’t noticed Kagome sidle next to him. He turned his head to see her smiling at him.
“All boys think alike. Boy has a crush on a girl, and the only logical thing to do is take said girl’s toy, so she has no choice but to notice boy. And hopefully, though it doesn’t always work, the girl sees through the tough guy exterior, and sees boy’s true feelings for her. It’s quite simple really.” He said this in such a ‘matter of fact’ voice, and with such a serious face, that Kagome couldn’t help the burst of laughter that escaped her lips.
“And what happens when the girl doesn’t see through the tough guy exterior?” Inuyasha shrugged, as if the answer was oh-so obvious.
“Then boy sulks for awhile, and eventually translates, in one form or another, that he likes the girl. Boys Tony’s age are full of foolish pride, but when it comes to the love of a girl, they’ll do just about anything to win her.” Kagome smiled teasingly.
“So, basically, even when we’re bite sized, women have complete and utter power over men. Is that right Inuyasha?” He pinned her with a gaze that Kagome couldn’t quite read, but made her breath catch all the same.
“Yes.” His golden gaze was making Kagome light headed. She opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn’t make the words come. She didn’t know what to say anyway. Is Inuyasha flirting with me? No baka, he wouldn’t be interested in you. Why not? I’m pretty enough aren’t I? Yes, of course, but there’s something about him. He’s used to better than you. I’m not good enough for him. Bingo. Why not? His name. Inuyasha Taisho; I’ve heard it somewhere before. Yes you have, and when you remember where, you’ll know why he couldn’t possibly be interested in someone like you. No matter how pretty you are. No matter how pretty I am…
“Earth to Kagome, are you still with us here?” Inuyasha was waving a hand in front of her face. He looked confused, and jut a bit annoyed. How long had she been staring off in space? Long enough for him to notice that’s for sure.
“I’m fine Inuyasha, just a bit spacey today is all.” She looked down at her watch 4:50pm. “I guess we should get the little darlings ready for pick-up huh?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Goodbye Mya. Have a good weekend and we’ll see you on Monday sweetie.” Kagome waved goodbye to Mya and her mother. Tony was the last child left, and then no more kids for an entire weekend. Woohoo.
“So Tony, got any big plans for this weekend?” Inuyasha was picking up the playroom, so Kagome had opted to stay with Tony and wait for his ride.”
“Not really. My dad’s friend said he’d take me to the park tomorrow, and maybe again on Sunday, if he doesn’t have too much work to do. He’s teacher and so he grades a lot of stuff over the weekend.”
Just then, a young man, around 25, walked through the glass entrance door. His long black hair was tied back in a pony-tail, showing off his high pointed ears. Another demon, interesting. He was staring at Kagome with light blue eyes as he walked across the room to where she and Tony where waiting. Kagome noticed the brown tail swaying behind him as he walked, and couldn’t help the smile that formed on her lips.
“You must be Tony’s guardian. My name’s Kagome Higurashi, Mr..” She held out her hand, meaning for him to shake it, and was surprised when he brought it up to his lips and grazed a kiss over her knuckles.
“It’s very nice to meet you Miss Kagome. I’m Kouga Wolfe, and I can’t help say how beautiful you are.” Kagome blushed at his remark, pulling her hand away. She was about to stammer a thank you, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see a glowering Inuyasha, shooting hot daggers at an equally glowering Kouga.
“Long time no see Kouga. I was kind of hoping that we could’ve kept it that way.”
“You and me both mutt face. I certainly didn’t expect to find you slumming it. Just what are you doing here anyway?”
“It’s none of your damn business wolf breath. But since you asked so nicely…I work here.” That earned a loud bark of laughter from Kouga who was looking at Inuyasha suspiciously now.
“The mighty Inuyasha Taisho, working at a day care? I don’t believe it. Did you lose another breath to Sesshomaru? Come on, what are you really doing here?” Inuyasha had an amused smile on his face.
“Haven’t you heard Kouga? Surely someone has told you….but then…you never did run in the same circles as me, so really, how could you know?” This got the desired huff of annoyance from Kouga that Inuyasha had been aiming for. Even though Kouga’s family had been well off, they could never acquire the same social status as the Taishos.
“Yeah, whatever mutt. Are you gonna tell me what the hell you’re doing here or not?”
“I already told you baka, I work here. Now I suggest you take Tony and get the hell out of here.” Kouga shook his head bewildered. What could possess the mutt to fall so low? Whatever the reason, he wasn’t about to start a fight with the kid around. And Kagome…
“Oh how the mighty have fallen. I’m sure your old man would be right proud of you Inuyasha.” He smirked when he saw Inuyasha flinch at the mention of his father. Serves the bastard right. “But, you are right about one thing. I really must get going.”
Too quick for Inuyasha to stop him, Kouga gave Kagome’s hand another kiss, this one lasting a bit longer. He smiled into her embarrassed eyes and sent a smirk to a very pissed off Inuyasha.
“Goodbye Kagome, maybe I’ll see you around sometime, yeah?” He didn’t let her answer, but took Tony by the hand and walked out the door.
“That son-of-a-bitch hasn’t changed a goddamn bit. The nerve of that fucker thinking he can just waltz right in here and look down on me. Me! I’m Inuyasha fucking Taisho, and he would do right to remember that! And to kiss your hand! Twice! Who the hell does that fucking wolf think he is?”
Kagome watched him rant, slightly amused, and greatly confused. How did he know Kouga? Who was Sesshomaru, and what was so damned important about the name Taisho? I wish I could remember where I heard that name. She looked at her hand, the one Kouga had kissed. He likes you. You’d have better luck with him than you would with Inuyasha. Who even said I was interested in Inuyasha? Oh please…
Kagome came back to reality to find that Inuyasha had finally quit ranting long enough to notice her. He looked fairly embarrassed and was looking at her oddly; as if he were a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar. What is it that he doesn’t want me to know? Is he hiding something? It’s none of your business, he’s just a co-worker remember? Oh shut up. Kagome didn’t know what to say, or if she should say anything. She decided that it really was none of her business, but there was one thing that she couldn’t let go, and really, it wasn’t that big of a deal.
“So, Inuyasha, how is it that you know Kouga?”
“I, uh, sort of grew up with him, er, around him, uh, I’ve known him since I was a kid.” Why was he having so much trouble with a simple question like that?
“Oh, because it seemed that you two weren’t exactly bosom buddies, you know?”
“Well, we never were what you’d call, ’friends.’ I suppose family obligations kind of threw us together most of the time.” Now he looked uncomfortable. He cleared his throat. “Anyway, we never clicked. We’ve always sort of rubbed each other the wrong way…shut up I didn’t mean rub that way. Jeez you little hentai.”
Kagome couldn’t stop the burst of giggles. Her eyes were actually starting to water. Just the thought of…that was enough to send her into a fit.
“Oh come on Inuyasha, you have to admit, it did sound rather funny.” She let out another fit of giggles, and clamped a hand over her mouth, trying in vain to put a stop to them.
“Keh, whatever.” He rolled his eyes, though his smile was amused. “Come on Kagome, I’ll walk you to your car. Silly woman.”
“If you ask me, the world could use a bit more silliness.” She linked her arm through his, and they walked, laughing, out to the parking lot. Inuyasha saw that she got into her car safely before jumping into his waiting porche. He let her drive out of the lot first, and followed her to the Hideaway Apartment.
Thank God it’s Friday

Inuyasha rolled over, burying his head in his pillow. It sounded like someone was pounding on his door with a hammer. Who the fuck is that, and what the fuck do they want at he looked at his alarm clock 8:30 on a Saturday Goddamn morning? He rolled out of bed, hitting the floor with a thump and a grunt. Shaking his head, he stood up and walked to his front door. Baring his fangs slightly, ready to give the person on the other side hell for waking him up. He opened the door with a snap, and pulled it wide.
“What the fuck-” The words died in his throat when he realized Kagome was standing outside his door, with a big grin on her face, and a delicious smelling box in her hands.
“Hey there Inuyasha, I didn’t wake you up did I?” She didn’t wait for him to stammer out an answer, as she breezed past him and walked into his kitchen. She set the box on the table and opened it with a flourish.
“I come bearing gifts.” Inuyasha peered into the box, and his mouth began to water. Doughnuts! He looked at Kagome appreciatively.
“What did I do to deserve such treasures?” She laughed and took a bite out of a chocolate crawl. Inuyasha followed suit, popping a glazed doughnut hole in his mouth. Mmmm.
“Nothing particular. I woke up this morning craving sugary sweetness, and just thought you’d like to share in my indulgence.” She finished her doughnut and was looking around for a napkin to wipe the sugary glaze from her fingers. She’d just spotted a roll of paper towls, when suddenly Inuyasha grabbed her hand.
“The indulgence is much appreciated, Kagome.” She could only stare as Inuyasha began to gently lick her index finger. His tongue trailed up and down, licking the sticky sugar away. Then he drew her finger into his mouth, and began to suck gently. His golden gaze locked with hers, as he lavished the same treatment on her other fingers. When he was done, he placed a kiss at the tip of each finger, and let her hand drop back to her side.
They stood in silence for a few moments. Kagome’s fingers were tingling, and her heart was beating rapidly. Inuyasha couldn’t believe what he’d just done. But she taste’s so damn good. I couldn’t help myself. God, if she only knew how much I want her… She’d probably run for the hills. Oh shut up. Make me baka. I am not going to stand here and argue with myself damnit! Then why are you? Fuck off. Yes you are.
His mind snapped back, and he could see the confusion in Kagome’s eyes. But there was something else, something he couldn’t quite read.
“Kagome…”
A loud knock on the door had both their heads jerking in its direction. Sighing, Inuyasha trotted over and opened it. His eyes widened, and his mouth went slack. His mind tried to comprehend what he was seeing, but nothing clicked. He cleared his throat, swallowing the lump that had formed there. Finally he found his voice.
“Hello big brother.”

A/N: I know I said that my updates wouldn’t be more than a day or 2 apart, but right now I’m kinda fighting for use of the computer. Damn Nazi parents. But don’t worry, I’ll figure out some kind of routine that’ll give me time to write and update. ::She says as if she actually had fans:: ^.~ l8erz
“Emily! What did I tell you about sticking LEGOs up your nose? No, Jack you cannot flush your cookies down the toilet. Eric, I swear if you take one more step towards that fish tank.

Then he drew her finger into his mouth, and began to suck gently. His golden gaze locked with hers, as he lavished the same treatment on her other fingers. When he was done, he placed a kiss at the tip of each finger, and let her hand drop back to her side.
They stood in silence for a few moments. Kagome’s fingers were tingling, and her heart was beating rapidly. Inuyasha couldn’t believe what he’d just done. But she taste’s so damn good. I couldn’t help myself. God, if she only knew how much I want her… She’d probably run for the hills. Oh shut up. Make me baka. I am not going to stand here and argue with myself damnit! Then why are you? Fuck off. Yes you are.
His mind snapped back, and he could see the confusion in Kagome’s eyes. But there was something else, something he couldn’t quite read.
“Kagome…”
A loud knock on the door had both their heads jerking in its direction. Sighing, Inuyasha trotted over and opened it. His eyes widened, and his mouth went slack. His mind tried to comprehend what he was seeing, but nothing clicked. He cleared his throat, swallowing the lump that had formed there. Finally he found his voice.
“Hello big brother.”

A/N: I know I said that my updates wouldn’t be more than a day or 2 apart, but right now I’m kinda fighting for use of the computer. Damn Nazi parents. But don’t worry, I’ll figure out some kind of routine that’ll give me time to write and update. ::She says as if she actually had fans:: ^.~ l8erz
