Hey there. I hope you like this crazy story. It started like some light funny piece and as I continued writing it turned into something darker. It is also a little more mature in its content and also I think the characters too.
In this AU, demons and humans coexist peacefully in the modern era.

Chapter 1- Meeting

"Youdid it."

The man snapped at her, his deep raspy voice sending shivers up and down her spine. The broadness of his shoulders towering above her forced the petite girl to take a few backward steps in an attempt to escape his furious glare.

"I didn´t do anything to upset you. I don´t think your attitude is justified."

Her breath uneven and her legs shaking, Kagome couldn't think of any words that would pacify him. Tilting her head up to get a better look at his face, the girl was surrounded by his magnetic aura. Her eyes roamed the handsome features, the molten gold of his eyes, the set of his clean-shaven and defined jaw, his straight nose and high cheekbones, all the way to his lips. Kagome looked down, she had to swallow a lump that was making breathing a difficult task. This man, or demon, was a fine specimen, she thought. Her eyes were now focused on his chest, drinking in the firm muscles clearly standing under the fabric of his red buttondown.

The proximity of his body was wreaking havoc on her nerves. Kagome hadn't been this close to a man for a long time, with the exception of Hojo, which wasn´t nearly as intimidating. Despite her better judgment, her body seemed to be drawn to him, she could feel it reacting to his presence like the tides to the moon. She had been guarding herself against such feelings, avoiding intimacy and running away from dangerously attractive men in fear of what might become of her almost non-existing ego. She wasn´t so naive as to deny his allure, she knew the symptoms and her natural response was fear.

Kagome took a deep breath trying to get a grip on the growing anxiety before the man could realize the effect he had on her.

"What do you want?" Her voice was quivering, failing to convey the composure she hoped to achieve soon.

The girl kept talking, much to his displeasure. He was used to intimidating people, just one look at him and many humans would piss themselves, and some demons too. And this woman was reeking of fear, so much so that it covered other scents arising from her slender body, preventing his nose from doing its job.

"Shut up! I need to make sure."

Inuyasha spoke through gritted teeth while his body kept moving forward until he finally got the girl cornered against the wall.

It was already past office hours, the building was almost empty, the cubicles on their floor already deserted. Even if she screamed, there was nobody around to hear her. And if there were, no one would dare confront him.

Placing one hand on each side of her body, Inuyasha lowered his head and took another whiff of her scent getting a rush from the mixture of fragrances flowing from her.

"It was you!"

He spoke slowly, his gruff voice booming in the small breakroom causing the girl´s coffee-colored orbs to bulge out in shock.

"Me? What did I do?" She asked trying hard to remember what she could possibly have done to enrage him like this.

She looked very confused. Inuyasha thought for a moment that he could be wrong, the girl seemed so innocent.

"She´s cute,"He thought, looking past the round frame of her glasses. His eyes left her face to take in her whole appearance. "Why does she dress like a nun though?"His gaze roamed her body from the tip of her black flats, up the length of her slender legs, over the black knee-long skirt and lingering for a moment over the whitish fabric of her Victorian blouse that loosely covered her breasts.

"They aren´t too big, I could probably fit them in my hands."His mind took him down a more pleasurable train of thought.

As if pulled by a magnet, his hands moved down to place themselves on her hips while he reduced the already small space between their bodies.

"You smell of ramen." He spoke with a husky voice and he was so close that the girl could feel the vibration of the sound echoing on her chest. Something awoke inside of her in response to his deep voice. Her fear gave way to confusion first and then it turned into something entirely different, she was losing the battle against herself.

" Ramen?" She asked, confusion plain in her words.

"Mhm." He hummed in response.

Inuyasha didn´t want to speak anymore. He could smell the change in her scent, the overpowering odor of fear had been replaced and now he could smell... arousal? Could it be? Or did he just smell what he wanted it to be? Something in this woman connected to his basic instincts, taking his ability to form a coherent sentence away from him.

He nuzzled her neck and was able to see her pulse beating erratically. He tried to find her eyes, but she had closed them, her breathing as uneven as his, her breasts rising with each intake of air and then lowering back.

His gaze focused on her slightly parted full lips, the faint smell of food still lingering in her mouth.

"There´s only one way to know for sure." He said seconds before he traced the outline of her mouth with his tongue in a sensual slow motion.

Kagome´s eyes shot open in shock.

"This isn´t happening!"She thought. "It´s so wrong."

She couldn´t think anymore as the feeling of his tongue sliding over her lips erased everything else from her mind. She tried to resist him, pressing her mouth shut until one of his hands moved from her hip to her chin, tilting her head up. She met his scorching stare with one defiant look.

"Just relax for a moment. I want to taste you."

Once again, the tone of his voice melted her resolve, Kagome found herself obeying the silver-haired man as his skillful lips commanded hers to open for him. Closing her eyes and surrounding his neck with her arms, the girl melted against his body as he assaulted her mouth, his tongue savoring every corner and curling against her own.

Inuyasha´s blood boiled when he felt the way her body reacted to his. He pressed one knee between her thighs in order to make her spread her legs, his rapidly growing member pressing against her lower belly.

"She´s so small."He thought, a heatwave running up his spine as he imagined the numerous ways to could maneuver her lithe form. "Wait till I get you to bed."

He moved his left hand from her hip to her waist, almost surrounding it completely while lifting her so that his aching manhood could be nestled against her pelvis, groaning against her lips when he felt her legs around his hips as she eagerly ground her core against him, her hot breath welcoming him.

The hand that had been cupping her chin moved to tangle in her wavy black hair, loosening the tie of her ponytail and forcing Kagome´s head back to expose her neck. Leaving her lips vacant for a moment, Inuyasha´s tongue licked and nibbled the creamy skin, his ears twitching when a persistent buzzing sound overshadowed the delightful sounds the girl made, suddenly bringing him back to reality.

Inuyasha let go of the girl and turned around. He had to take several deep breaths before he dared to answer the phone.

"What took you so long? I´ve been waiting for your call for hours!"

Kagome could hear the person on the other side of the line almost screaming while Inuyasha could only growl in response.

The girl had to lean on the wall for support, thankful for the respite, a few more seconds and kami only knew what could have happened between her and the sulking stranger. Taking a long cleansing breath, she combed her hair with her hands and tried to smooth her clothes.

"Yeah, I know. I was planning to stay late today but I´m starving." He looked over his shoulder to check on her. "Some stupid new girl ate my ramen. You know I can´t work on an empty stomach."

"Hey!" Kagome felt insulted. If she hadn´t suspected it when he declared she tasted of ramen, now she was sure, he was the owner of the ramen she had eaten. All this fuss over a simple bowl of ramen?

"I... I... didn´t know it was yours." She stuttered. "I´m sorry, I´ll buy you two cups next week, how does it sound?"

Inuyasha frowned at her over his shoulder and turned back again, noticing his pants were still too tight in certain parts of his body.

"Yeah, that´s her." A few moments of silence on his part followed. Apparently, the other person was speaking in a lower voice since she couldn´t hear anything other than the demon´s voice.

"Short, thin, wavy black hair."

Kagome was feeling more uncomfortable with the conversation as the seconds passed. She wanted to leave but his body was blocking her way.

"You know her?" He turned around now that some parts of him had relaxed just in time to grab the girl´s wrist as she tried to make a run for the door.

"Oi, your name´s Kagome?"

The girl didn´t answer, her discomfiture too heavy to look him in the eye.

"Is it?"

She just nodded her head and looked at her feet, she could feel the warmth spreading from her cheeks down to her neck. She hadn´t felt this embarrassed since high school.

"You´re joking!" He said to the person on the other side of the phone. "Really?"

He turned away from her without releasing her wrist. Kagome wanted to disappear from the face of the earth, shame washing over her in huge waves. Never in her life had she done anything so shocking, always getting good grades, obeying her elders and playing by the rules. She had taken the ramen believing someone had forgotten it there, or maybe they weren´t so hungry or didn´t need to eat it today. She had bought some melon bread for breakfast and thought that she could make it through the day with just that on her stomach. Drinking coffee or water every time her stomach growled had proved ineffective. By lunchtime, not only her stomach but also her head ached terribly. She was almost done for the day when she went to the break room for another glass of water and saw the ramen cup standing there. She just went for it. Payday was only a couple of days away and she had just enough money for the train fare and a couple of meals. She was planning on replacing the ramen cup after she got paid but now that she had been discovered she felt like she had committed a hideous crime. To top it all and as the cherry on top the dreadful desert that had been her day, she had a steaming make-out session with a stranger, a demon, apparently, a hot long-haired and ill-tempered youkai.

"And you think she can do it?" The voice of said demon interrupted her self-deprecating thoughts. "I´ll talk to her and get back to you. You take good care of Sango."

"Sango?" Kagome´s attention was back to him, the wallowing left for later. "Were you talking to Miroku by any chance?"

Inuyasha let go of her wrist and put his phone in the back pocket of his black slackers.

"You know her too?" He asked still trying to figure out this girl. According to Miroku, she was one of the best seller telemarketers in their department. His exact words had been, "Layers of sweetness covering the toughness inside". All he had tasted was pure fire, hidden under layers of oversized clothes.

"She´s my best friend. I got this job thanks to her, or rather thanks to her fiancé. But she was the one that asked him to help me in the first place." She stopped for a moment intrigued by the outcome of the phone call. "I take it you and Miroku are close. What does he want me to do for you?"

"Oh, just a little help with a presentation. I can´t work anymore today, thanks to you."]

"Ok, I already said I´m sorry. I didn´t know it was yours, I just assumed everybody had already eaten and the ramen was leftover. I told you I´d pay you back, you just have to wait until payday."

"Can´t you pay for your own ramen? Why did you take mine?" Inuyasha was now interested to know why she had taken his food, there has to be a reason, or she just acted on impulses?

"It´s not like it had your name on it." She said looking a bit angry. "By the way, what is it?"

"What?"

"Your name! What´s your name? You already know mine, I think it´s only fair after, you know..." Kagome was too embarrassed to even mention what had just happened between them. She was blushing a deep shade of crimson which made Inuyasha smile, she looked prettier when she blushed, he thought.

"Oh, it´s Inuyasha, Takahashi Inuyasha, nice to meet you." He said with a wide grin that showcased his fangs, his hand already grabbing hers in a warm handshake.

"Higurashi Kagome." The girl said bowing politely. "Nice to meet you too."

"Well, Kagome, what do you say we go eat something since our work for the day is done. I need to talk to you about that presentation."

"I can´t."

Her voice was a slightly high pitched, he noticed. Was she freaking out over a meal?

"Why? Are you afraid I might eat you?" He had intended it as a joke, but the hungry look he gave her implied something different. He realized he hadn´t let go of her hand so he released it with a small sigh.

"I can´t afford it." She said, looking at her feet, too flustered to look him in the eye. She wanted to be honest without letting him know too much.

"So that´s why you stole my ramen." He said feigning to be affronted.

"For the last time, I´m sorry. Will you please forgive my offense?" She was exaggerating her apology or mocking him, he wasn´t sure.

"Only if you come to dinner with me." He hesitated for a second. "It´s not like it´s a date, it´s just a business meeting at the ramen shop next block. After all, if you can help me with my presentation, I´ll be owing you. And there´s a big bonus if we succeed. What do you say?"

She pretended to think about it for a moment, but her mind was already made, the irrational part of her brain had decided for her. The offer of a bonus was too tempting to just pass the opportunity, she wanted to go with him, she simply didn´t want to look too eager.

"Ok then. Let me grab my purse and we can leave."

"I´ll go get my stuff, meet me at the front door."

Inuyasha followed her with his eyes as she disappeared among the cubicles hypnotized by the sway of her hips. After what had happened before Miroku´s interruption he would be having a hard time focusing on the topic at hand when the only thing in his mind was getting another taste of that perfect little mouth.
