Chapter Six: Nudity & Infamy
 
Kagome felt the warm body of the hedgehog abandon her as he ran down the edge of the bed, hopped down to the floor, and made a break for it. Little traitor! Can't trust anyone anymore.

She held her breath as Inuyasha's criminally smooth hands sat on her belly. “What the hell are you doing?” She demanded sounding braver than she felt.

He shrugged. “You won't tell me where you hid my keys so I'm gonna do the next best thing and strip search you.”

This was an unhappy turn of events. Suddenly Kagome would've given anything to not have locked the keys downstairs in her tiny mailbox. “Honestly Inu, I don't have them. Gods I swear.”

He brought his face down next to hers and she closed her eyes anticipating his lips but was surprised when all he did was inhale. Is he sniffing my hair?

She looked up and saw his eyes glowing above her face. He frowned. “You reek of that damned wolf. You bitch! You gave Koga my keys didn't you?”

“No I swear… I didn't” Kagome was at a loss for words or what to do next. Nothing today had gone as she planned. Too bad she didn't have a personal physic, maybe she could've sued for damages.
 
His nose twitched as Inuyasha sat up and began glancing around the room. “Where is he?”

Kagome swallowed. “Koga's not here?” she offered in a tiny voice.

He dismissed her words with a wave of his clawed hand. “No, not him, the prickly rat.”

Rat? “He's not a rat he's a hedgehog.”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “Yeah, whatever. So where'd he go? I don't want to get attacked again.”

She giggled slightly. “You're afraid of a hedgehog? And you picked on him first.” This was too rich.

He crossed his arms. “Hell no, I just don't want to get stuck again. So where is he?” Inuyasha pushed her bedding aside looking for the little hedge. “Wench, I asked you a question.” He squeezed her hips between his thighs to emphasize his point.

Kagome answered simply, “He's run off and hidden somewhere.”

A wicked grin lit Inuyasha's face and his furry ears perked forward in Kagome's direction. “Good, now that I've dispatched your guard hog, where were we?”

Kagome bit her bottom lip. “I was just explaining I don't have your keys here, and that I'm terribly sorry for that. You were just leaving.”

Inuyasha shook his head and she watched his silvery hair bounced around his shoulders. “This ain't a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Okay I've tried the easy way but you seem to love the hard way, so here goes nothing.”

Inuyasha leaned back and ran his hand down the inside of her leg. Kagome shivered, watching as he took her sneaker in his hand, pulled it off and tossed it to the floor. He quickly removed the other and her socks soon followed. He crossed his eyes and wrinkled his nose. “Gods Higurashi, you feet STINK!”

Kagome fought back trying to stick her feet in his face but he quickly retaliated by holding her foot down and tickling it. She screamed and bucked trying desperately to break away to no avail. He dropped her foot and left her gasping for breath.
 
 
“Okay, you are just barefoot. It's not too late to tell me where my keys are and still keep your clothing.”

Kagome shot back. “You're the criminal. Why don't you just hotwire it?”

Inuyasha raised a black brow. “Because then I'd have to rip up the damned steering wheel and besides you've no doubt done something trite like jacked the damned distributor cap anyway.”

She gave everything away by turning beet red. He groaned and his hands hovered over her throat. “Damnation, but you are the stupidest woman alive.”

“I resent that. And if I am so dumb than why do I have your Jeep?” Kagome was incensed and beyond thinking clearly.

He sighed, “Good question. Guess I'm slipping in my old age.”

She nodded a little too enthusiastically for his taste. He growled low, “Oh that just rips it.” His hands were under her shirt and on her bare skin as he pulled off her black sweat shirt. Underneath she wore a black halter top complete with sports bra. “How much shit do you have on?”

She was indignant. “It's cold outside.”

He nodded staring appreciatively at the shelf of her black bra. “I can see that.”

Kagome lifted her knee aiming for his crotch. Inuyasha anticipated her move and leapt up in the air narrowly avoiding her blow. His laughter echoed of the walls of the studio apartment. “I'm faster than that.”

He landed back in the same position he'd jumped from only this time he made sure she wouldn't be kneeing him again anytime soon. “Now that was just dirty.”

Kagome protested. “And what you're doing to me isn't”

Inuyasha pressed a claw between his teeth pretending to be lost in thought. “Umm… No. This is beautiful justice. The last two weeks of my life have been a living hell; this is the highlight of my day.”

As much as she wanted to hate him, Kagome was reminded of the messages on his cel phone and knew he wasn't exaggerating. First Kikyo, then the arrest and now he'd skipped bond. Yeah his life was pretty screwed up. But wait, whose fault was that? It wasn't as if someone put a gun to his head and forced him to wed Kikyo, shoot some guy then make a break for it. “Have you considered the reason your life is a living hell, as you put it, is because you make bad decisions.” It was simple enough question.

Inuyasha leered at her and snapped the elastic strap of her sports bra. “As I recall not all of your choices are winners either. You knew I was trouble and you let me have you eight years ago.” As if she could ever forget his seduction and the warm beer.  “You know I'm dangerous now and yet here we are again.” He wagged his eyebrows at her. “Higurashi, I'm beginning to think ya like me.”

She retorted, “Yeah and I've got the dent on my mom's car to prove it.”

He frowned and she knew she'd said the wrong thing. “I still owe you for that one. Ya know, you aren't making this any easier.”
 
Kagome said in bored tone. “You said yourself; you're a hopeless lost cause and bad to the proverbial bone. Why bother trying to make you see reason?”
 
He blinked then howled with laughter. “Good point. So one for the money, where's my goddamned keys.”
 
She answered honestly. “Inuyasha I don't have them here.”
 
He narrowed his flashing eyes. “Wrong answer.”
 
He hefted his weight onto his hand and vaulted to the end of the bed. He grabbed the pant cuffs of her black jeans and gave them a hard yank. Kagome shrieked as her pants slid down her bare legs. Inuyasha stood at the end of the Murphy bed waving the black jeans like a victory flag.
 
 
 
Kagome sat on the bed in her halter top, bra and black bikini briefs brimming with outrage. Her expression was so startling Inuyasha thoughtlessly offered, “Shit relax women, it ain't like I haven't seen all of you before.”
 
This earned him a solid kick to the chest. He staggered back a step, “Okay that was uncalled for…” He grinned, “Just a bit.”
 
Kagome lay in silent rage glaring at him as he crawled up the bed and once again straddled her hips. Inuyasha traced her collar bone with the tip of his claw. “One more time wench. Where in the fucking hell are my keys and the damn distributor cap?”
 
Kagome's bravery had left with her pants. “I…don't have them here, but gimme my clothes and I'll take you to where I hid them.”
 
He bared his fangs then leaned down and traced her jaw line with his nose. Kagome's breath caught in her throat and she lifted her head. Inuyasha pushed her back down. “Fucking A, you are a horrible liar.”
 
He sat up, climbed off her and perched on the side of the bed. Inuyasha retrieved her pants and investigated her pockets. He tossed the Taser to the floor. Kagome cursed herself for having forgotten to use it. He cut his eyes at her almost sensing her thoughts. “Keh, as if you're fast enough to hit me with that anyway.”
 
He pulled the hand cuffs from her pants and let them swing freely, glinting in the bright glow of her dusty light bulbs. “Now these,” marveled Inuyasha, “are gonna come in handy.”
 
 
Kagome's stomach dropped to the floor as his lips spread into an evil grin.
 
Inuyasha lifted Kagome off the bed and carried her to the old fashioned radiator just under the only window in the apartment. He smirked as he whipped out the cuffs and snapped one end around her wrist and the other around the coil of the tiny heater. Kagome was instantly grateful the stupid heater was on low.
 
He left her there, took a few steps back then studied her as if she were a painting. Inuyasha licked his canines. “Something's missing.”
 
He knelt down beside her and tore the tank top down the middle taking the sports bra with it. Then he tossed both pieces of clothing into the bathroom. Kagome's eyes went wide and her hands rushed up to cover her breasts but not before giving Inuyasha the eyeful he'd been sorely hopping for. He bounced back into her mini kitchen only a few feet away laughing. “Now that is a big improvement.”
 
Kagome did her best to keep covered and demanded “What the hell am I gonna do now?”
 
Inuyasha shrugged. “I dunno, just wait for someone to come looking for ya, I guess.”
 
He kicked her cel phone just out of her reach. “Maybe that stupid hedge rat will fetch it for ya.”
 
Kagome shivered as the cool air of the room settled around her. Inuyasha paused and wondered if he'd taken this too far. After all she was someone's sister; at least he thought she was. Truthfully he hadn't stayed around long enough last time to find out. But if he had a sister and someone left her practically naked and handcuffed to a heater, he'd be pissed.
 
Inuyasha mulled it over as he began tossing her measly apartment in search of his keys.
 
Her fridge was empty, which explained how thin the stupid girl was. Thank the Gods for those breasts though. Nothing lacking there.
 
Her closet was packed full of clothing, Inuyasha pulled out random outfits, throwing them on the floor behind him. She owned more shoes than one woman could wear in a lifetime, most of them with heels. He glanced over his shoulder to admire her long legs and figured she'd look damn hot in nothing but her panties and the heels.
 
He smacked his hand against his forehead. I'm here to get the Jeep back, that's it. Course teaching her a little lesson was fun but just a bonus. It wasn't safe for him or her for that matter to be seen anywhere near his beloved Jeep Wrangler.
 
Inuyasha saw something move in a black strappy Steve Madden sandal and lifted his boot to squash it when he recognized the pointy nose of the hedgehog. The animal hissed at him then retreated back into the mound of shoes.
 
He gave up on the closet and moved to the built in drawers surrounding the bed. Nothing, not one goddamned thing. Except for her shoes, she was practically Spartan. He cursed and pulled the thin mattress from the bed into the mini kitchen just for good measure.
 
Kagome watched him tear her home apart with wide eyes. The day had gone from bad to worse to totally screwed. Oh well, maybe when he's done he'll realize I was telling the truth and give my clothes back.
 
Inuyasha paused in front of Kagome blatantly watching the rise and fall of her pale and goose bumped cleavage. “Guess it really isn't here after all.” He shrugged and bent down next to her holding her dark eyes with his smoldering golden gaze. “I'd say it's been a little slice of heaven…but it hasn't.”
 
His eyes dropped down over her naked chest once more for a long look then he stood and popped the lock on the door. The rush of cold air blew over Kagome. “If ya know what's good for ya then ya'll give the Jeep back to my dick head, half brother.”
 
Kagome considered this as best she could topless and pissed off. “Why? Doesn't Sesshomaru want to kill you? Why would he help you?”
 
He surprised her by answering. “He's got this thing about any authority higher than his own. And he'd hate to stain the leather with my blood.” Inuyasha frowned and he pointed at her. “Do it. Bring back the Jeep or else next time we meet you won't get off this lucky.”
 
He slammed the door behind him and she heard the tell tale click of a pick and the lock reengaged.
 
Kagome let out a long breath and sat both hands on the floor. The cel phone was just out of reach. And even if it weren't who would she call? Mama?
 
No, that was out of the question. Not only did her mother not know she was a bounty hunter….yet, Kagome did not relish explaining just how she ended up practically naked and handcuffed.
 
Sango? No, her friend was out of town. Shit, shit, shit.
 
Besides she needed to call someone who could get in the door without a key or breaking the window. Kagome couldn't afford to have the glass replaced if it were shattered and she saw her key lying uselessly on the counter mere feet away.
 
A proud voice broke into her thoughts `Babe when ya need a job done right, ya gotta call the wolf.'
 
Could she call Koga? He'd be able to get into the apartment. And he would have some understanding of what happened to her. She fought to find any other solution but none came to mind. Guess I could just stay here and starve. How much longer do I have before they come to forcibly evict me? A week?
 
Her stomach chose this inopportune time to growl. Well there's always Myoga…. The thought of being buck ass naked in front of her pervy half uncle was unbearable. Uk.
 
Okay so Koga it is. Now all she had to do was reach the phone with her foot. Kagome gave the cuffs a test pull and wondered just how strong the bolts that held the heater to the wall really were.
