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

Have you ever had one of those moments where everything in the room seemed extra loud? The clocks seemed to be ticking, but the second hand was stuck right before the twelve mark? You feel as if you can hear the electricity in the wall moving to and fro? Even the left over soggy cereal that you had for breakfast and forgot to throw away suddenly decided to 'snap' 'crackle' and 'pop' back to life?

It was one of those moments for me. I heard my heart beating in my ears, my blood rushing from my face down to my palms- which were beginning to sweat. My breath became irregular and I felt that each time I exhaled someone was squeezing every drop of oxygen from my lungs. All in all, I felt like shit. I can't recall feeling so horrible in my life. My nails dug into my palms as I looked up. I opened my mouth to say something- then it snapped shut as I heard a meek response.

"What? Say that again…."

She bit her lip and shrugged. "I already knew…"

InuYasha closed his eyes and wished for his blood to settle back in place. Slowly he paced his breath and opened his eyes.

She was watching him closely…not sure of what to do.

"…you knew…" he repeated her words slowly, as if he were still trying to process what they actually meant.

Kagome fidgeted in her seat, realizing that she wasn't in a position to be inquisitive, but she couldn't help it. "Yeah! But that doesn't explain why your brother, and Kikyou want me gone, and why tonight is so important, and what the hell does it have to do with me!"

"How did you find out?"

Kagome rolled her eyes. He wasn't listening to a damn thing I said…

"My mom was in a lot of the pictures at your house- I realized that the night I was…um…attacked." She snickered as she recalled the 'incident'.

"I was looking at them and in one of them I saw Kikyou, I had recognized her since I used to play with her as a kid- I guess I just forgot. I also saw Rin. Then I saw my mom, so I figured- 'hey, this is a family picture minus me'. Not to mention, if Rin is my cousin, and she's also Kikyous' cousin…uh ah-duh! I'm not that dumb."

Inuyasha gave her a deadpan look. Then, with the sweetest voice he could muster "Really? I could have sworn otherwise…dumb bitch." He rose from his seat and headed toward the kitchen.

Kagome looked at his retreating back. In an instant, probably hundreds of nasty things to say back had ran through her head, but she had seen it. That look he gets when he's serious.

He's still hiding something, he want me to figure it out so he doesn't have to tell me.

She rose and went into the kitchen, he was at the table eating the cold breakfast that they left lying on the table. He was furiously chewing away at the octopus dog that had probably gotten rubbery from being left out in the cold. With a heavy sigh she sat across from him and started picking at her cold food.

"Its cold." She said

He didn't look up, instead he gnawed on his food even more.

"Do you want me to.."

"No"

She bit her tongue at his harsh reply. "InuYasha…what it is, what's going on tonight?"

He looked up at her and hissed his teeth bitterly. "If you're so damn smart, figure it out yourself, oh- and while you're at it pass me the plate of pancakes."

Kagome huffed and picked herself up from the table. "Why are you being such a prick? God you are a jerk. I don't know ok. I don't, now why can't you tell me! It's so freakin obvious your hiding something."

"Where's your dad?" he asked suddenly.

Caught off guard she shot him a puzzled look. "He died…you know that. Why do you ask now?"

"Where did he die" he insisted.

Kagome bit her lip. He was digging up buried emotions that she didn't want to be there. "…on a business trip."

Inuyasha continued. "What was his purpose of going?"

"They were planning a merger between three companies…" Kagome's eyes lit up.

Prying a little more…Inuyasha added " So…what's your last name again…" his voice laced with sarcasm.

"Higurashi…Akuma…Shikon. Then Kikyou…did her father."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes "And the light bulb clicks."

Kagome sighed. "Poor thing, then her father died also"

If it hadn't have been a serious conversation, InuYasha would have face faulted. He groaned. "GODS you are slow."

Kagome had a look of bewilderment on her face. "What…what did I say?"

Inuyasha chose his words carefully.

 "Kagome, I have reasonable suspicion that it was Kikyou's father who had murdered my father. He had been against the entire thing, but had wanted the profit from it."

Kagome soaked all of this in and stood up. Mechanically she went into the living room to sit down n the couch. Inuyasha followed suit and sat next to her.

After a period of silence Kagome sighed "Inuyasha, why did you save me?"

"Wasn't I suppose to, silly girl." His voice held a softer tone that it did before, Kagome looked up and caught his stare.

His bright amber colored eyes also held the soft tone of his voice. He was just so adorable. She pouted "why couldn't you be this sweet all the time"

InuYasha smirked "Cuz then I'd never get what I want." She's avoiding the subject. Keh – whatever. Not as if I feel like talking about it either.

"Ya perv, yeah, I bet you were thinking of nothing but dirty things last night, while I was in your bed." She folded her arms across her chest in feigning her anger.

InuYasha had a catty smile on his face. "What guy wouldn't, having a gorgeous woman on their bed, dead in the middle of night." He leaned into her blushing face. "Trust me. Had you been awake, I would have kept you much entertained; there wouldn't have been time for sleep." He was still amazed at how she was still able to blush like that.

"Shut up" she protested.

He ran his finger across her bottom lip. "Awwe, don't say that Kagome, if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all, and if that's difficult for you, I have something to keep your mouth occupied." He smirked.

By now Kagome felt that familiar moisture by the junction of her legs. InuYasha pulled her forward so that she straddled his thigh, as he lay on his back. Keeping one hand at her hip, the other dived under her shirt. His hand massaged her breast, playing with her pebbled nipple ever so often.

Kagome threw her head back. "Inuyasha ……." She moaned. She bucked her hips and hissed as she felt pressure against her heat.

"Horny bitch decides to go without underwear on today huh?" he smirked mirthfully. Pulling her forward he attempted to captured her lips.

She pulled back "Who you callin a bitch" she snickered, playing with his hair.

"WOOF" he barked in a bass tone. "Now you are…"  He eased in and kiss her neck and played with her collarbone.

She moaned and her hips bucked against him. She ground her lower body against his thigh. "You like riding that Kagome"

"Yesssssss" she hissed.

"You want something even more…..substantial to ride?"

Kagomes rolled her eyes. "Gods InuYasha don't….huh"

The phone had been ringing. And now the answering machine was taking a message. They only caught the last part of it.

"…..InuYasha, she's here."

Kagome stopped and looked him in the eye. Emotions ran across his face…fear…anxiety…hope…and most of all….anger.

He roared.

"Why the hell now!!"

To HELL with all of this, they time me…I swear they do!

InuYasha glowered as he hovered over the couch, already going for the car keys.

"InuYasha, what was that all about?" Kagome asked.

InuYasha flashed her a smile- a stark contrast to the rage he had been In not even a second ago.

"It's judgment day baby!"

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

 InuYasha pumped up the bass and popped in his Namie Amuro cd. The single "Crazy" came on and he could feel the car doors vibrating.

Kagome- without a care in the world began to sing.

"So where we heading to?" She screamed over the music

He grinned "To the main house"

Kagome arched an eyebrow "I thought you didn't like stepping a foot in that place"

"Well right now is different" he shrugged off the idea.

"Oh really- what makes it so special"

"The current heir to the family inheritance is here…that means all this drama should be ending soon. I can go about my business and move."

Kagome flinched. "Ahhh- my memory fails me- remind me again why you can't leave?" she said embarrassed.

"Because Kikyou's father has us under lock and key that's why" he snapped "he's a powerful man, and people are afraid to hire me. Unfortunately, I'm not as discreet as Sess is."

"Oh, so once the old lady tells us who the inheritance belongs to this will all be over??"

He grimaced. "Yeah" I hope… well she doesn't need to know all.

Kagome turned red "And I got dragged into THIS!!" It had better NOT go out like that." She had a sly grin on her face. "Oh no Inuyasha it's gonna go out with a BANG!"

 He pulled the car over. "Oh do tell Miss Kagome"

She told him- and he liked.

He rubbed his hands together. "Oh yes…vengeance is sweet.

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

"Yes…vengeance is sweet isn't it InuYasha?"

He stared right at the source of the voice that was oozing venom.

"Fuck off and die Kikyou" he spat viciously. "And YOU…" he whipped his head around to give Kagome- who was currently bound and gagged, the evil eye.

"I hate you"

SEDUCE ME CHAPTER 17: Turning Point

Ok…people I FINALLY have time to concentrate on my freakin stories! So you'll be seeing a lot more updates from me. Sorry I took so long L  This chapter is short…I hate short chapters…grrrr, I need to re-read everything to get a grasp. I'm looking at my 'outline' and going "huh?", so I need to fix that…

Asking you to review after my long absence is very selfish and unethical and it would only be proper to leave it up to you as the reader, But HEY- you said I gave a crap about my selfishness? Review away my pretties…
