~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~

The next day Inu Yasha set to work on his mural, again. Kagome sat in her usual spot watching every careful stroke he made and every dip he made with the paint brush.

"You're in the way you know," He commented after having to step over her for the twelfth time that day, "Don't you have something better to do?" He inquired slightly irritated that his constant need to step over her for her convenience (A/N: ooooooooo big word) was going unnoticed.

"Not particularly." She said as she gazed at the brush strokes and listening intently to the small tap of the brush.

"Don't you have a family you should be getting home to," Inu Yasha stated as made another streak of yellow with the brush above the hills overlooking the town (A/N: If you've ever seen Starry Night you'll know what I mean) "You've been here for three days and I'm sure even one who blatantly tries to ignore the world around herself would have some weird parents-"

Inu Yasha quickly snapped his mouth shut when he saw a fire burning deep in her cerulean eyes, and a pooling of more emotions than he ever believed existed in a human's psyche. Before he knew had found himself in the familiar position of being face up staring at the ceiling, only this time he was staring at an enraged teenaged girl looking ready to slash his throat if dared to move or if she had claws. "Don't ever speak of my family when you know nothing of them. I don't care what my assignment is and if you have such inner turmoil from that Kikyou woman."

Realizing what her mistake was and that she had let something slip she quickly scrambled away from him. "What do you mean assignment?" he asked suspicion rising in his amber depths, "And how is it that you know about Kikyou?" `She is hiding something. But how could she know of Kikyou's and mine relationship?' He was so caught up in his thoughts that he hadn't realized she wasn't there until he felt a breeze from the window.

`Damn, she went out the fire escape!'

He flew out the window as fast as he could ad found her leaning over the rail with a look of self loathing. "Answer me!" He yelled at her dragging her out of her thoughts. Her silence that followed was leaving him slightly unnerved. She sat upon the railing half dangling dangerously above that treacherous alley where they had first met.

Afraid she might fall he quickly grabbed on to the back of her shirt. She merely looked at him with eyes full of regret as she shook herself out of his grip and descended back onto the safety of the platform. Kagome was about to brush past him when she felt a his hand clasp around her small wrist.

"You will answer me," He stated in a threatening tone, "NOW!" he suddenly roared and releasing her wrist grasped the front of her shirt and held her dangerously over the alleyway and shaking with pure rage.

"Drop me," she said in a tone that was airy and light as though she was merely commenting on the weather, "Drop me and watch me fall, hear my bones crush, see my blood smatter the alley, and take satisfaction that you have blocked out another thing that you felt you shouldn't have to deal with. Drop me." She looked at him with eyes that held no emotion and he could smell no fear in her scent.

"Why are you doing this to me?!" He demanded almost releasing her as he clutched his head with his free hand, "All I did was save you from that man and what was to be certain death and all you do is avoid me or torture me with your mind games!"

"I assure you that I play no games and have no intention on torturing you. I am merely hear for you to confront the truth and move on." She said in a tone as though she was explaining this to a child. He slowly brought her back onto the platform and silently went into the apartment. He proceeded to the back room and shut and locked the door behind himself.
