Chapter 3-What's the prize?

The insistent ring of the telephone brought Gia to consciousness. She jumped up to her knees and reached over Inuyasha to grab the offending instrument. "Yes", she barks into it and hears, "Good Morning. This is the wake up call you requested."

"Thank you.", she said, hanging up the receiver. She looked down to see a pair of golden eyes staring up at her. She blushed when she realized the position she was in. "Good Morrrning", she stammered, and jumped out of bed. Grabbing her bag, she ran into the bathroom. Shortly after Inuyasha heard the shower start.

Inuyasha heard the phone ringing and before he could get it, Gia grabbed it. He opened his eyes to see Gia on her knees, stretched across him. Her nightgown had ridden up, and he could see the tops of her thighs and a peek at that pretty little ass. He got a good sniff of her scent, she smelled of lilacs. His eyes flew to her face, and she blushed when she looked down at him. Then she jumped up and ran into the bathroom.

"Kami.", he thought. He knew he would have to take an extra long shower this morning. Listening to the shower running was making him crazy, all it made him think of was her naked in there. He wanted to run in there, sink himself into her, and make her beg for more.

He never felt this strong of a reaction to Kikyo, and he began to realize that what he and Kikyo had was puppy love. Gia was invoking stronger feelings than Kikyo or Kagome ever brought. His need for this woman was becoming a priority, and he would have to do something about it soon.

Gia came out of the bathroom looking like she had more confidence than she felt. Her breath caught at the sight of Inuyasha sitting in bed. His hair was mussed up from sleep, golden eyes shining, and chest bared. She wanted to crawl right back into bed and curl up in his arms. She dropped her eyes so he couldn't see the emotions there.

Inuyasha could only stare at the cool, collected woman who emerged from the bathroom. She stood in a white silk blouse, black dress pants with matching flats. She looked vastly different from her attire yesterday, then he remembered she had to work today. "Damn, I think I might just get hurt today, so you have to take care of me.", he smirked at her.

Gia blushed and said, "My bedside manner can be very abrupt. You may not like me after that."

Inuyasha got out of bed and walked over to her. He looked her in the eye and said, "It would take quite a bit to make me dislike you." He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss, turned and walked into the bathroom. Leaving a surprised Gia standing in the middle of the room.

Inuyasha and Kagome accompanied Gia to work. Sesshomaru had wanted to make a few calls and see if he could help find the people who ransacked Gia's home. Gia turned to Inuyasha before going into the hospital, "Don't forget, 4 o'clock you have an ass kicking coming." She reached up and gave him a quick kiss and ran into the hospital.

Kagome grinned at Inuyasha when he got back into the car. "I see things are progressing very well for you.", she teased.

Inuyasha decided to get even, "Well, I had the most interesting conversation with my brother last night." Kagome's eyes widened. "It's seems he was interested in who you are in love with.", he smirked.

Kagome paled, "You didn't tell him, did you?"

"You know I wouldn't. I just wanted you to know that he was asking, and getting a little even for the comment.", he laughed. He grew serious, "Kagome, This is going to sound crazy, but, I love her. How can that be? I just met her yesterday."

Kagome smiled at him, "It's called love at first sight, Inuyasha. When I met Gia, I knew she was the one for you. Why do you think I pushed to get you to come here? Just don't push her ok? I know she doesn't have much experience with men, and what she does have, has been bad."

"As pretty as she is she should have tons of men chasing her.", Inuyasha was incredulous.

"I didn't say they didn't chase after her. She won't have anything to do with them.", Kagome smiled. "I have an idea, let's go shopping. You can get Gia a present.", Kagome said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but nodded yes.

.......................

Gia was washing her hands and getting ready to leave, when a young nurse came into the doctor's lounge. "Dr. Miller, there's a really hot guy outside asking for you. He said his name was Inuyasha.", she said, a look of lust in her eyes.

Gia got the biggest smile on her face. She looked at the nurse and said, "Tell everyone hands off, he's mine." The two women laughed and walked out to where Inuyasha waited for her.

"You ready?', he asked. His golden eyes smiling into hers.

"Yes, Let's go home.", she said. His heart skipped a beat with that comment. He had to fight the urge to pick her up and run with her to a secluded spot to make her his.

..................

They went back to the hotel and got permission to use the gym for their match. Sesshomaru and Kagome came to watch, as well as a few other guests.

They bowed and began circling each other, looking for any openings. Inuyasha struck first, he tried a direct hit to her, which she easily evaded.

She grinned at him, "Hun, you have to try harder than that, a first year student could counter that." He laughed.

Gia tried dancing around and some gymnastic moves to cover her attack, but that didn't work. She wound up on her back, with Inuyasha smirking over her. He reached out a hand to help her up, and she used it to her advantage, and flipped him to the mat.

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, "Who do you think will win? I say Inuyasha, he's had more battle experience than Gia."

Sesshomaru looked done at Kagome, "Gia has good form and uses any advantage that comes her way. I say it will be a tie."

Kagome laughed, "Neither will stand for a tie. They'll have to choose a winner."

"I'll make you a wager, if this ends in a tie. I win. If there is a definite winner. You win.", his eyes were shining into hers.

She looked back at him, "What is going to be the prize?"

"If you win, I will give you anything your heart desires. If I win, You must spend an entire day with me, alone.", he said. Her heart sped up, and she nodded her head. Not trusting her voice, but, she started praying for a tie.

The two combatants fought for about an hour, when Gia flipped Inuyasha to the ground again. She jumped on top of him to hold him down, saying, "Ha Ha, I got you now."

He reversed the position with one quick flip, and she was under him. "Who's got who now, wench?", he grinned at her.

Suddenly, Inuyasha's look grew serious and Gia could feel his hardness pressing into her belly. She so wanted to tell him what she was feeling, but, they still had their audience. She let her heart show in her eyes, and gave him a brilliant smile. He jumped up and pulled her to her feet, then he picked her up bridal style and walked from the gym.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, "Look's like a tie to me. I'll pick you up at 7AM, be ready." Not giving her a chance to respond, he turned and strode from the gym.

She could hear two people chuckling behind her. "Do you remember when you did those things to me, darling?", an elderly, feminine voice said. "As if it were yesterday, my dear. Young love is wonderful to see. Those young men have wonderful taste in women, but none will ever compare to you.", an elderly male voice answered.

Kagome was surprised that they would think that she and Sesshomaru were a couple. She turned and headed for her room, already about what she had with her to wear tomorrow.
