Kagome knew exactly what he must be thinking, watching his eyes dart back and forth between the two of them like that.

"Er…this isn't….I tried….appointment…going to…and then…"

Stopping to catch a breath, Kagome felt her face grow even hotter as Sesshomaru's cold eyes looked her over. Was that…amusement? She gritted her teeth. Bastard…

Naraku cleared his throat. His face wasn't as red as hers, but definitely had a pink tinge that hadn't been in his pale face before. "Sir, this is Kagome Higurashi, and Kagome, this-"

Sesshomaru cut him off with a glare. "That's all I can stand from you in one day, thank you. You are dismissed. Back to your work."

Standing up regally, Naraku swept out. "Good day, sir," he added silkily. "And good -bye."

Watching Naraku leave through the door, Kagome suddenly felt the Sesshomaru's eyes on her.

"Er…um…" she blustered frantically. "We weren't….I didn't…he tried…"

To her surprise, Sesshomaru grinned nastily at her. "So you've met our resident Playboy. He'll never stop bothering you now."

With that he abruptly turned, as through annoyed at himself for such a show of emotion, and left. Kagome, feeling frustrated and confused, ran after him.

"Wait!"

Felling a hand slide down his arm, Sesshomaru turned, an eyebrow once again, arched.

"I…don't…"

Kagome noticed the many stares they were attracting. They had just entered a large, airy room, where many small cubicles were located, each with its inhabitant's eyes staring curiously at them. A man at the printer didn't seem to notice that his tie had gotten jammed into the printer and was slowly pulling down.

"…"

Sesshomaru glared at the workers in the room, and they all went hurriedly back to their work, although many still sneaked occasional glances at them. The man with his tie stuck in the printer was now gagging and choking.

"Sesshomaru, what I'm trying to say is…"

From Kagome's POV:

OMG, did I just say that? That did not come out the way I wanted it to… Ack! My hand's still on his shirt!

From Sesshomaru's POV:

What is she trying to tell me? Stupid wench can't even finish a sentence.

"IhadanappointmentheretodayandIneedtoknowwheretheboss'sroomis," she said in a rush, immediately yanking her hand off his shirt.

Sesshomaru stared at her bemusedly. "He's not here today. I'll tell him you came to see him." And with that, he turned down the corridor and vanished into one of the numerous doors.

Kagome stood, stock -still, feeling everyone's eyes on her. Well, almost everyone's; the guy at the printer couldn't, he was still playing tug -of -war with his tie. And apparently losing.

Without a second thought, she dashed out to the mirrored doors, pushing aside a confused valet. Quickly flagging down the car that was lazily going in circles around the parking lot, she yanked open the car door and sat in.

"Back so soon?"

Kagome glared at her friend's smirk. "Drive Sango, and step on it. And not a word, okay? Not…a…word…"

Meanwhile, standing at one of the numerous windows of the immense glass building, a tall figure stood, with a hand on the curtain drapes.

"So that's Kagome Higurashi…"

Kagome sniffed the air.

"Um, Sango? Do you smell something…burning?"

With a quick exchange of wide -eyed glances, both girls sprinted down the rest of the hallway, bowling over the landlady and ramming into Kagome's apartment door.

"Oh my god…"

The kitchen was hidden from view among the surrounding smoke, masses of gray hurled out of the oven, curling around the occasional sparks.

Coughing and sneezing, both girls frantically closed the oven door and turned it off, both noting the melted black lump inside.

"Holy..."

Shaking her head at the mess, Sango gingerly stepped behind Kagome as both made their way down the hallway. None of the other rooms seemed to have felt the kitchen chaos, but a trail of ashy black footprints led round the corner, and into a closet…

Trying to stifle a giggle, Sango immediately had the good will to look concerned when Kagome shot her a look. Pressing both their ears to the door, they could hear sniffling and coughing inside.

Opening the door slowly, Kagome saw a huddled figure crouched on the ground, ears drooping.

"Hey common, don't cry," she murmured, bending down to his height. "Come on, you always were such a tough guy."

Sniffles greeted her statement. "I'm…sniff…not…crying…sniff…"

Kagome sniffed. (Sniffing's contagious, dontcha know) "Yea right, come here."

Wrapping her arms around him, Kagome thought only of comforting him. "Shh, it's okay, we can fix up the kitchen."

Inuyasha started to bawl. "No it's not!" he hollered. "Nothing's alright! You're just saying that, and you'll throw me out just like everyone else does!"

Kagome pulled back, shocked. "Just like…the others?"

Inuyasha hunched over. "Yeah," he whispered. "Everyone I stay with ends up kicking me out, because I do something wrong." He raised his face to look at her. "You wouldn't do that," he pleaded. "Would you? I mean," he added hastily. "I'll be better, promise!"

Kagome felt like crying herself. He was just too adorable!

"Oh you silly, "she murmured, reaching a hand out to pat him awkwardly on the head, hoping to calm him down. "You know I won't kick you out just because you can't cook!"

He whimpered slightly, but turned a hopeful face at her. "You sure?"

Kagome ran her fingers through his long hair. "Of course."

Inuyasha rested his head against her. This is perfect, he thought. She's just like…

Sango interrupted their scene. "Hey everybody," she smirked. "Say cheese!"

Flash! went the camera. And the moment was saved. Inuyasha resting in Kagome's arms, both of them with a mixture of shock and murder in their eyes. And in the picture went, into Kagome's photo album, right next to a picture of Sango, eyes wide with horror and ,mirth, her last moments before both Inuyasha and Kagome clobbered her with coats from the coat closet.
