This wasn't good.

To put it bluntly, she was being kidnapped – yet again.

Of course she wouldn't put the blame on the blond man who picked her up (after almost running her over) since he didn't actually know he was kidnapping a person, but she could always think about better situations that could have happened.

'Where is he taking me?' Kagome thought miserably, unable to recognise any sort of landmarks that were quickly passing by. And it didn't help that she barely knew any of the landmarks to begin with, 'I just need to get back to the hotel.'

It didn't take too long on the motorcycle to arrive to the destination that the blond had in mind and Kagome was suddenly looking up at a large tower with wide blue eyes that shone in awe.

Stark Towers.

'Well, at least I know where I am.' Kagome thought, held up by one strong arm as the man parked his motorcycle in a private parking lot before glancing down at her with slightly anxious eyes.

"I hope no one is allergic to cats," Steve muttered, "Let's just hope that Stark is a cat person and not a dog one." He said, giving a quick scratch behind her ears (which she had to admit felt absolutely heavenly) before entering the building with her tucked tightly in his arms.

'This man really lives here?' Kagome thought with wonder, looking around at the obviously expensive surroundings, 'He doesn't look like the kind of person who would live in this sort of place.'

He walked quickly through the halls, strangely using the stairs instead of the elevator to get to one of the top floors of the building (so many that Kagome lost count of the flights of stairs).

Her ears perked up as she heard the voices of other people and she unconsciously huddled further into Steve's chest, not knowing what was going to happen next.

Hopefully she wouldn't just get thrown out onto the street...

"You finally back from your soul-searching, Cap?" A teasing voice asked and Steve let out a sigh when a dark-haired man sauntered up to him like he owned the place, "Or were you just out with your secret girlfriend?"

"Do you know anything about animals, Stark?" Steve completely ignored his comments and manoeuvred the cat so it was quite visible to the other occupants of the room, "I almost ran over this cat earlier and just want to make sure she's okay."

Stark blinked, clearly surprised by the black cat, "Didn't know you were a kitty lover," He joked, moving closer so he could eye the feline, "But no, can't say I do."

A red-haired woman moved to Stark's side to get a closer look as well, "You can always take her to a veterinarian if you're that worried, Steve," She said, smiling at the cat, "But she doesn't look injured."

"I didn't think so either, Pepper," Steve nodded, unsure what to do when the cat's ears were folded flat against her head when Stark and Pepper went to pet her and Kagome wanted to huff with his next words, "I think she's a stray. Do you mind if I keep her in the tower for a little longer?"

Great, now she was a pet!?
