One week later

Kagome dreaded having nothing to do on a Friday night. Sango had to work late tonight and Rin decided to take a late night classes this semester.

I think I'll go to the market and get some things to relax at home. Maybe I'll rent a movie as well.

She walked out of her house and headed down the block to the little store that a cute older lady owned.

"Hello Kaede." the little old lady was sitting in front of the store with a book and enjoying the warm night sky.

"Hello Kagome, here for the usual or do you ever plan to spice things up?" she asked from behind the book.

"I actually want something completely different tonight."

"Really do those plans include a handsome stud like me?"

Kagome was so shocked from the voice she heard. How could she have run in to this guy he lived in a totally different neighborhood than she did and yet he's shopping at the same store that she does. Pure coincident or she hoped.

"Kagome, am I right? I knew I would run in to you again sooner or later. At least I'm glad it was sooner than later." He said with that oh so tempting smirk.

"You know, somehow I doubt that line actually works with girls." She pretended to be looking at the name on the boxes in front of her.

"And you would actually be surprised at how well it does. Women can't resist my good looks and great charm."

"You keep telling yourself that."

"That's not what you were saying a week ago if I remember right."

"Yeah and you weren't so cocky either if I remember."

"Well I was caught up in the moment of the passion and romance and all that other stuff."

"Is that what you tell all the girls that you take home?" Kagome looked at him with a quizzical look.

"You know something I would if I actually took more women home, but guess what sweet cheeks you're the first in a very long time. And when I saw long I mean long." He said getting closer to her.

She had no idea why but she was actually shocked. I mean a man as talented in bed and as handsome as him didn't take home many women every night. WOW.

"I guess no matter how hard I don't want to believe you I can't help but too." She said with a confused look on her face.

"Well at least I'm getting somewhere, now back to my first statement do you mind if I join you tonight?" he said while taking the basket from her hand.

"You're starting to be persistent, but I don't think it's going to work."

"Really? What if I said that I'm a great cook and I know you will love my penne pasta." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"I don't even know how to respond to that, except are you always this corny?" She couldn't help the little giggle that came out.

"You could just say yes and invite me over, and I'm pretty sure I'm not always corny. How about it; you know even if I was corny I can make you laugh."

"I wouldn't normally invite strangers to my house especially when I'm in sweats and my hair is a mess. What's wrong with you man? But, I guess I could say yes-"

"Then it's settled-"

"Or I could say no to your offer and move on with my day as if I hadn't even seen you." She stared into his big eyes and couldn't help but to smile and think about how much fun it could be. "You know what I think you might as well since you're probably just going to follow me like a lost dog back to my place. You might even end up stocking me, but I guess I could take a chance with you."

"Hey that's not fair I took you home and you could have been the one to end up stocking me." He said teasing her.

They laughed together and for some reason it felt very normal to be in each other's company. She finished her shopping and made her way to the front. He grabbed her bags and they made their way back to her apartment. She actually felt nervous this time; she fumbled with the keys at the door. He came up behind her and just rested one hand on her hip making her tremble a bit. Once they made their way inside she motioned towards the kitchen. He dropped the bags on the counter by the entry way, and then turned to face her. She was blocked in by him and she noticed the look in his eyes and blushed furiously, the look of desire and want was unmistakable. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to him. She was unmoving to his touch; he wanted her to feel comfortable when it came to intimacy with him.

"Kagome I want you. No, I need you to be with me. We just met yeah I know but so far I don't want anyone else in my bed. Can I be the only one in yours?"

"I'm not that kind of girl." She told him "I think we should at least get to know each other before we do the whole devoting thing, don't you?" She tried to come on as a bit more of a traditional girl, but in truth she didn't know what kind of girl she was.

"I know you're not that kind of girl, don't get me wrong I never thought you were easy or something. I just can't stop thinking about you, Kagome, and the night we shared together. I do want to get to know you as well as to have you for just myself. Have you been thinking about me?"

She didn't know what to say. He really knew how to bring on the charm, but his eyes looked sincere, begging almost.

"I want to get to know you, too, and I have been thinking about you more than I would like to admit."

She looked up at him and smiled. He found her now inviting him with those eyes. He lifted her and placed her on the counter. He kissed her passionately making her see the stars and the moon all in one. His fingers slid up her shirt while she kicked off her shoes. He stepped back from her and took off his shoes and socks. She reached for his collar and worked her way down the buttons, then let it pool at the floor. He helped her with her shirt, pulling it over her head. He brought her down the counter and pushed her sweats down to the ground. She was glad that even at home she wore decent underwear. She unbuttoned his pants and let them hit the floor as well. She wanted to feel his strong leg muscles rippling under her hands, to feel him thrusting into her. He grabbed her and placed her back on the counter after pulling off the rest of her clothes. He took off what was left of his clothes; spread the junction of her legs to fit himself. She automatically wrapped her legs around his waist. She felt him at her entrance and moaned. She couldn't believe this was happening again with this stranger. He gave her a wild night and here he was again in her little apartment giving her more.

He watched her in the kitchen, her hair in a ponytail and wearing just a tank top and a pair of sexy pink satin shorts. It wasn't the most provocative outfit, but he felt turned on by it. He wanted to take her to her room and make love to her again, but he promised to watch a movie with her and talk a bit before they could have sex again. He admired her curves. She wasn't like all those other girls that worried about everything they ate. She didn't even hide her face with a bunch of makeup or use a lot of products on her hair. She really was natural, well except the little heart shaped patch he found between her legs. She obviously took care of herself there regularly, and he liked that about her too. Her cute belly ring, her sexy tattoo on her shoulder and the one on her pelvis close to her fire. He found it all so sexy, yet adorable at the same time. She wasn't his typical girl, but she sure was a breath of fresh air from all those girls, especially Kikyo.

"What do you like on your pizza?" she asked not even looking at him from the task in front of her.

"Uhm… cheese, peperoni, sausage, peppers, olives…"

"How about everything." She giggled and turned to him with a pizza pan in her hands. She slides the pan in the oven, and set the timer for 20 minutes. "There that should come out nicely, I personally love the way this pizza comes out." She smiled at him.

She couldn't help to stare at him. This was the second time that they meet and she liked how he felt comfortable enough to stand in the kitchen doorway in only his boxers. He looked like he belonged there in her kitchen, and on her couch, and in her bed….

"Do you want to play a game or something?" she asked him walking to the entertainment center and pulling out the PS3 that she got back from Koga.

"Nice, you're a good lover, you can cook, and you're a gamer… will you marry me?" He asked playfully sitting on the floor right next to her, and winked at her. He turned to the system after he smirked at the blush the crept her cheeks. "How about we play a racing game, do you have any?" He wanted to make her comfortable again so he changed the subject for her.

"Uhm… I think I have a Need for Speed game." She said searching through the cd cases, finding the racing game.

"How about we make a bet, if I win I get to make out with you for the rest of the night and maybe take it to the bedroom."

"And if I win?"

"Then I'll take you out on a real date tomorrow."

"Nope."

"Uhm… Then what do you want?" He was a little confused right now, she did wanted them to get to know each other so what better way than going out on a first date.

"I get the date tomorrow and you have to do or say something extremely embarrassing."

"Ok how about I give you my entire day tomorrow and we forget about the embarrassing part?"

"I'll take the entire day and at the end of the day you have to at least say something embarrassing." She said it as a fact instead of a question, because she wasn't moving. She even looked a bit stubborn as she waited for his response.

- RING -

"Hold that thought." She got up and walked over to the kitchen to get the pizza pan out of the oven.

"Fine, you got a deal." He said from the living room. "I'll say something embarrassing."

"Good, cause tomorrow I'm going to look for a target." XD

"Wait target for what? What are you planning in that gorgeous head of yours?" He said with a confused look on his face.

"You'll see."

One hour and an entire pizza later, Kagome was victorious and of course InuYasha was being playfully dramatic about losing.

"Ok Kagome, you win, so what are we going to start our day off with tomorrow?" He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist brining her to him.

"You'll see, but I think we can do something right now." She turned around in his arms and brought her arms up his biceps and around his neck. "We both win tonight."

"Mm, I like the sound of that. What did you have in mind?" He said playfully.

"Well then let me show you."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him to her room. She pulled off her shorts and top, then she reached for his boxers and pulled them off as well. She felt so bold with him, like she didn't have to be shy or wondered what he really thought of her in bed. It's not that she didn't care; just that she had a feeling that InuYasha couldn't get enough of her just as she couldn't get enough of him. He didn't use fake words to woe her to his bed; he was for real and told her exactly what he wanted. He wanted her and he desired her now and hopefully for a good while.

She let him make love to her three times in her bed. Never in her life had she ever think that anyone man could give her so much pleasure and still have to continue giving her. She didn't know what this was going to be in the end for them. All she knew was that it wasn't fake and that it wasn't real love, yet.
