"Start walking back to the bike, I gotta take care of something, then I'll catch up with ya." InuYasha said as he turned and left Kagome alone on the road out of town. He walked into town and hid behind a building and waited untill her scent got far enough away.

InuYasha grinned to himself. 'Finally! Finally, I ditched that girl and can do things the way I want, wit out protecting her ass! Ha HA! No more whining! No more sits! No more 'Gome's dirty looks!' He felt like dancing.

He found the bank and walked in. One guard, wood building, safe in the back. 'Piece of cake.' InuYasha smiled. Could this day get any better?

He returned to a shady corner and hid in the shadows. He removed the bandanna from his head and tied it over his face. 'Of course, they could just recognize me from the DAMN EARS ON MY HEAD.. oh well. Looks cool none the less.'

InuYasha rolled his neck, flexed his wrists. Then in one swift motion, slammed right through the side wall of the bank.

InuYasha stood in the mayhem of the room and found the guard. He had been knocked down by the wood crashing inwards. In a split second the half demon was upon him. InuYasha slammed the man into the wall. Hard. He dropped limp to ground.

InuYasha turned to the back wall and leapt forward, crashing through the desk between himself and the safe. He drew back and punched right through the lock, ripping the door off its hinges. He shoveled the money into his jacket and leapt back out the hole he made earlier. The whole incident took less than fifteen seconds.


Kagome looked back at the sound rushing toward her. A blur of brown sped at her. She blinked, something slammed into her, and when she opened her eyes, she was on InuYasha's back.

"Inu- what the hell!?" "We're getting the hell outta dodge! Now shut up and hold on!" "What the fuck did you do!?" "Nothing!" "Then why are you running!?" "I said shut up and hang on!" "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what happened!" "What the fuck makes you think you got a Godamned choice in the matter?!"

Kagome planned to sit him as soon as he set her down, but in one of the most acrobatic and, undoubtedly, somewhat painful things she'd ever seen, InuYasha managed to land them both on the Harely and take off before Kagome figured out what was going on.

Denied of her vengeance, Kagome pushed herself back into her seat with a pout. "Wait. Where'd your bandanna go?" "Huh? Oh yeah." InuYasha took the piece of cloth from off his face. Kagome stared at his back in shock. "What the hell did you do InuYasha!?" "I got the money, you're not hurt. Other than that, what do you care? There's a town a about a day away. if you can survive with out lunch, dinner's on me." "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?" InuYasha merely smiled.


They pulled into the next town after sunset. InuYasha secured the bandanna back on top of his head. "So where are we eating?" Kagome asked, the day of traveling nonstop had eroded her anger. "I'll find a place.." InuYasha said, scanning the buildings.

Kagome had expected a restaurant. Hell, even a fast food joint. She had not expected a bar. "A bar? Dinner at a bar?" InuYasha sighed. "Wise up girl. It's a pub, a real pub, so they serve food."

They sat down in a corner booth. The place was in no fucking way classy. It was hastily built and filled with drunks the size of line men, all of whom looked dangerous. InuYasha grinned and flung his boots up on the table.

"That's not very polite, InuYasha." Kagome stated, the threat of a sit left unsaid. "Do your little trick and we'd have a lot of explaining and running to do, girl."

InuYasha lit up and offered the pack to Kagome. "Smoke?" "What? No!" "Huh? Why not?" "Well for one, I'm underage!" "Underage?" "Yes! Under the legal age to smoke."

InuYasha just stared at her, utterly lost. Kagome looked at him. With that lost expression on his face, and his gold eyes, and the two ears she knew to be under his bandanna, he looked.. well, he looked like a confused puppy.

InuYasha was only confused more when Kagome burst out laughing. "Hey, what the hell's so funny?" "Nothing! Nothing!" Kagome cried out in between laughter. She quickly regained her composure and stifled down a giggle.

"What ever. Fucking girl.." InuYasha trailed off as he flagged down a waiter. "A beer." InuYasha said when he got to the table. "Same for you?" The waiter asked, turning to Kagome. "Uhh.. No, I'll just have a hamburger and a Pepsi, thanks." 'Doesn't anyone out here care how young I am!?'

"Are you ever going to take your feet off the table?" Kagome asked as the waiter returned with their drinks. "No." InuYasha replied. "Well take them off! I wanna put my feet up." "What happened to your manners!?" "My feet are tired! I don't have good shoes for this stuff!" "Fine..." InuYasha slid his feet off the table.

Kagome leaned back in the booth and placed her feet on the table.
InuYasha couldn't help but agree, she did not have the shoes for this, and that would slow her down if she ever had to run from something. "We gotta get you a pair of boots or something.." "Like yours?" "Umm yeah.." 'I had a different kind of boots in mind, but hey, I knew I was a sick bastard long before this.'

The waiter returned with Kagome's food, and as she took her feet down to eat, InuYasha threw his back up. Over the sound of the pub, a The Stones came on over the speakers. Before he could stop him self, InuYasha sang the first line to him self around his cigarette. "You can't always get what ya want..."

Kagome heard him but made no indication of it. 'Maybe it's time to try digging into his past a little again. I doubt he'd storm off in public. Here goes.'

"So.. InuYasha.. how long have played guitar?" InuYasha blinked in surprise. "Uhh a couple years.. why do you wanna know?" "No reason. Just curious." InuYasha stared at her like a puzzle, trying to figure out her motivation.

"So, what aren't you hungry?" Kagome asked next. "Nah, I don't have to eat as much as you humans." "Oh, of course." Kagome rolled her eyes.

Kagome's attention was drawn to a fight that had broken out at the bar. As she watched, InuYasha noticed her hand searching for her soda. With one quick move InuYasha pulled her drink away and pushed his beer into her hand.

She pulled the glass to her lips and took a drink. InuYasha tried not to crack up as she realized she wasn't drinking Pepsi. She looked down at the glass and quickly spat it out as InuYasha roared with laughter.

"InuYasha! You.. you..." Kagome searched for the right adjective as his luaghter died down. "You.. bad doggy!"

Kagome wished she could of taken a picture of his expression.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?"

An hour later, the two stumbled into the road house. Kagome collapsed on a pile of straw in exhaustion, and burrowed into it. InuYasha slumped down against the wall and passed out.

'See? I knew it. Warm food, soft bed, InuYasha less of an asshole. I knew things would get better.' Kagome thought before drifting off.
