Last Time:

 

Her thoughts drifted to Inuyasha. She couldn't deny her obvious attraction to the man. He was dashing, slightly charming when he wanted to be, caring, but the gods know he certainly had his faults. She smiled to herself at that thought. She rolled on her back and looked at the ceiling. She couldn't understand her attraction to him. From the moment she set eyes on him, she just couldn't stop wondering about him.

She wouldn't have even been in that mess today if she wasn't so engrossed with his every action. Every time she was with him, she got this feeling. A strange one, not happy, not love, not attraction… she really didn't know what it was, but she like it.

She was beginning to feel sleepy. She closed her eyes. Before she drifted into a deep slumber she thought, there were a few things that were certain. Satou was coming. Inuyasha isn't human. And above all he wanted her.

***

Kagome sighed in serious frustration. It had been almost two weeks since the Nobunaga incident, and all she seemed to be doing was sitting around. Everyone was babying her because of her wounded arm. And to her utter displeasure, Kouga dropped by her office every few hours to check up on her, and she really was starting to get annoyed.

Of course upon returning Sesshomaru had berated her for stowing away in the vehicle, but considering the whole fiasco was strictly against the rules, he really couldn't punish her for her carelessness. However, she knew he had probably been scolded by his superior.

Inuyasha was MIA as far as she was concerned. She hadn't even seen the elusive captain for four days now. He was never in his office, never with Miroku, and above all, never around to talk to her.

The last time she saw the man was in the shooting range four days ago. But he was standing there one moment and just like a magician, he vanished. She almost thought her mind was playing tricks on her it was so fast.

The chief was no better than the captain; he was so busy making arrangements for the surveillance team and going down to the docks himself he really wasn't around. Sango and Miroku were usually out digging up any information that they could find on the set shipment date, which was frankly going nowhere.

It seemed that anyone who had information knew the value of it and kept it to themselves. This put the whole team in a bit of a fix considering they just couldn't stake out the docks twenty-fours a day. Everyone had been taking different shifts to guard the docks and everyone was growing tired of it.

Ginta and Hakkaku were always down at the docks, setting up cameras, getting familiar with the atmosphere, and asking everyone they could find about the possible shipment. Poor Ayame had gotten the worst assignment of all. Being the only one who could fluently speak Chinese and Korean, she was designated to notify and communicate with the other agencies in the countries. China seemed willing to cooperate, and immediately began investigating. Korea, however, was in no mood to be cooperative, and blatantly refused the warning. Ayame was either arguing on the phone all day or running around Tokyo.

Kagome sighed again. Kouga and Shippo were the only two left on the whole floor that she talked to. Ironically, she really didn't mind the solitude, but she did mind being out of the loop. Her job was to communicate with the neighboring cities and inform them of the possible boat shipment. Granted it only took a few days and phone calls to relay the message, but it didn't make it less stressful. The rest of her time she spent in the training room and the shooting range. Her arm was healing very well, and hurt less and less each day.

Kagome got up and started to walk down the hall to the break room to get some coffee. It was about one in the afternoon, but she really couldn't sit still for another moment. She sauntered down the hallway completely restless, when she caught a glimpse of her estranged captain. He was actually pulling on his coat when he finally looked her in the eyes.

“Good afternoon captain,” she said politely

“Oh, Kagome, good afternoon…”

“May I inquire as to where you are going…captain?”

“Oh…yes…well, I am going down to the docks for my shift, so if you will excuse me.”

Inuyasha made a quick move toward the door. But Kagome anticipated this and made a move to block him. She stared him down, almost daring him to try and get past her.

“Well, I think I will accompany you, after all, I have finished my other work, and I know an extra pair of eyes down there couldn't hurt.”

Her eyes were intense, and he couldn't look away, and he knew arguing would prove futile. Inuyasha could not take his gaze away from her. Her eyes were absolutely dazzling. He knew he shouldn't be alone with her. But her scent was so alluring, how could he turn away. Inuyasha was starting to break in a sweat. `Shit, shit, what am I going to do…? But she smells so….' He shivered slightly

“I will meet you in the lobby in a few minutes.” He said it rather shakily.

Kagome almost squealed with delight.

“Thank you, captain,” and with that she sauntered to her office.

Inuyasha quickly made it to the elevator, and leaned against the wall and sighed, `Man oh man…what the hell did I just get myself into….'

Once inside her office, she quickly grabbed her coat and all but ran to the elevator. Once reaching the elevator and pushing the lobby button five times to insure she would get there faster. She couldn't help herself she was absolutely ecstatic she was able to do something.

`Finally! Not only was she going to get to do something, but she was also going to get to spend time with the captain. That meant she could pry information out of him. She needed to find out exactly what he was. For she knew, he wasn't normal.'

The elevator reached the lobby and Kagome walked out seemingly composed and completely in control. She walked past the front desk waving to Rin and professionally walked out the front door; only to find a very shocking surprise.

There pulled in front of the building was a motorcycle, but not just any motorcycle, it was a Hayabusa. And there riding the Hayabusa was the single most sexy looking thing she had ever seen. Inuyasha dressed in a leather jacket and a black and red helmet. His long silver hair was hanging down to the middle of his back. He took off the helmet and made a hand gesture signaling Kagome to come to him.

She walked over to the bike cautiously, and actually had get a hold of her nerves, starring at the dangerously sexy captain was doing something to her… and she liked it.

“So, I guess Harley's aren't good enough for you.”

Inuyasha chuckled slightly to himself.

“Yeah, I guess you could call it an indulgence. The 2008 Hayabusa GSX 1300R ….”

Kagome laughed nervously, “So should I just… uh”

“Oh here, I have a helmet for you.” He handed her the spare helmet that matched his own red and black one. She smiled at him shyly.

“Well should I just hop on then?”

“Yeah, have you ever ridden on a bike before?” Kagome shook her head slightly, but then smiled.

“No, but I know all about the leaning, so I won't kill us.”

Inuyasha smirked at her.

“Alright hop on.”

Kagome hopped on the back of the bike, and slipped on her helmet.

“Now hold on this thing goes pretty fast, and I must say we are little late.”

Kagome grasped the back of Inuyasha and wrapped her arms him. Inuyasha could fully smell that arousal in her scent. He could feel, and hear the blood coursing through her veins. It was simply and so sweetly maddening.

He had to rid himself of it, or he would end up doing something he really was going to regret. The bike roared to life beneath him and he weaved his way through the heavy traffic smoothly. With every turn Kagome would grip him tighter. Inuyasha could feel her body against his, comfortably forming to his back.

Her breathing quickened slightly at first, but soon he could swear she was laughing. Yes, she was laughing, giggling all most.

Kagome giggled, she loved the feeling of the wind whipping around her body, it reminded her of when she was jumping off the building clinging tightly to Inuyasha. She felt so free. It was enthralling. They winded their way through the streets. The ride was wonderful for both of them. Occasionally, Inuyasha would speed up just to hear Kagome squeal with delight.

Eventually, they reached the docks. Inuyasha pulled into what looked to be like an abandoned warehouse. They coasted to a stop and Inuyasha parked the bike inside. Ginta and Hakkaku were waiting for them.

Kagome got of the bike first and then Inuyasha.

“Well Inuyasha had to show off for the ladies.” Smirked Ginta

“Yeah, Inuyasha I mean the moment the new girl walks in you just had to show her your bike…”said Hakkaku

Kagome had to giggle at Inuyasha's expense. Inuyasha really had had enough of this foolishness.

“Alright, alright enough is enough. Now what have we got?”

“Right, so we have set up all of the cameras now, unfortunately the port is too big to cover all of the docks. So we've got cameras in the bigger places, but we are pretty sure if Satou is going to dock, he is going to dock around here. It's more secluded, and less likely to be noticed. Anyway Sango and Miroku are still interviewing and looking for leads, but it looks pretty slim.” replied Ginta.

“What about that old man…Jinko, doesn't he know anything,” said Inuyasha.

“That senile old man really didn't know too much, just that Satou was coming soon. But anyway we are going back to the office to report to the chief. So all of the cameras are set to these few computer screens. So have a wonderful evening you two. Oh and the coffee is in the corner over there…you are going to need it.” With that Gina and Hakkaku got into the car they came in, waved and left.

“Well, let's get comfortable it's going to be a long night.”

Kagome nodded and took off her jacket and went over to the corner and grabbed two cups of coffee. She walked back over to the desk and several computer screens and sat down next to Inuyasha. She handed him his cup and they closely analyzed the screen.

The sun was setting outside the window. The shades of orange, pink and yellow were all fading over the horizon. The clouds were moving lazily across the sky, forming different shapes for all of the passer-byes to see. The air was cool and crisp, and the smell of sea water was thick.

“Here is where we are.” Inuyasha pointed to the screen.

“And here is where we think Satou is going to dock. Basically, I'd say we are about a good one-hundred and fifty yards away from there.” Kagome pointed to the opposite screen.

“Right. Now I suppose the only thing to do is to just sit and wait.” said Inuyasha

An awkward silence descended upon the two of them. Inuyasha was trying not to breathe quite so hard, considering the scent of Kagome's arousal was still mixed in with all of the smell of the sea.

Kagome on the other hand was nervously sipping her coffee and biting her bottom lip; trying to focus on screens for any suspicious movements she was getting slightly hot and decided to take her coat off. After placing the coat around the chair, she chanced a glance over at Inuyasha only to discover him watching the screens intently. He noticed her starring and looked at her.

Kagome quickly turned away; her cheeks painted a slight pink, but quickly recovered and returned her attention to the screens.

`How embarrassing! I need to stop starring at him; he probably thinks I am either 1. Totally obsessed with him 2. I am trying to intimidate him 3. I am completely rude or 4. All of the above.'

Inuyasha on the other hand was racked with nervousness. Things couldn't get much too much worse. He was alone with Kagome, in an abandoned building, with her aroused scent in his nose, his inner demon begging to claim her, and to top it off her coat was now off to expose her body even more to him. He inwardly groaned how would he ever survive tonight?

Realizing that she needed to get a hold of herself Kagome quickly banished all thought of her infatuation with Inuyasha and get to work. She quickly turned back toward the screens. She was still a little flustered however, and very quickly pulled her hair back into a ponytail.

Inuyasha noticed this movement, and unfortunately so did his inner demon. The demon cackled slightly at the new exposed flesh of Kagome's neck. It was so…inviting…so willing to be tasted. Inuyasha immediately tried to cease control of the demon and willed himself to remain in control. `I can do this. I can do this.' He chanted in his head.

“Do you think we will see any action tonight?” Kagome asked conversationally

“Doubtful, Satou would be almost a week ahead of schedule if he did try anything.”

Kagome nodded at the answer. What she really wanted to know more than anything was what had really happened a few weeks back. How exactly did they survive? Why did his eyes change color? What did Kaede mean about warning her? And above all what in the world was he?

`Granted the long silver hair and golden eyes were different, but that could all be explained in a matter of birth defects. Right?'

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome; there was conflict in her eyes. She was internally debating something, and Inuyasha feared that it had nothing to do with the case.

“How is your arm doing?”Asked Inuyasha

Kagome jolted from mind conflict and turned to look at Inuyasha.

“It's fine.”

“I am sorry I wasn't around too much to ask you that before, you know with the case and all.”

`Why do I feel like I am back in high school when I am talking to her… a hold of yourself yash.' Inuyasha thought

“Really captain its fine. Kouga has been checking up on me almost every hour, I am surprised he hasn't called my phone yet to see where I am.”

This made Inuyasha's blood boil. His inner demon was furious, any other male was never suppose to touch her. It was ludicrous for her even to be thinking of another male.

“You know Kagome office relationships are strictly forbidden.” He said slightly irritated

Kagome sensed his uneasiness, and replied calmly, “Trust me captain, Kouga is the not anywhere close to my type.”

“So what is your type” he blurted out. “Oh I apologize I mean…”

“No it's fine, well… hmm… he would have to intelligent that is for certain.”

“Definitely”

“And he would have to be ambitious”

“Of course”

“And a little sensitive to when I really need some help, but not too wishy-washy”

“I'd hope not”

“And finally, there would just have to be something special about him…like he wasn't just like any other guy”

Inuyasha couldn't reply to that answer, he knew how badly his inner demon wanted to be that guy, and he knew if he answered her it would most likely end with Kagome being violated in the worst possible nature.

“But that is just silly to think about right being different somehow.” she continued.

“So I got to spill my guts how about you get to spill yours now.”

Inuyasha gulped, he didn't like the look she was giving him, but one thing was for sure his inner demon loved it.
