csi (before all the new shit that happened)/ inuyasha

greg/ kagome

summary: she was the new lab rat, and immediately he was drawn to her. it wasn't because she was so beautiful, or even her stunning voice as she sang away to his music. he couldn't even say that it was because of her intelligence; kagome higurashi was just a catalyst that started a reaction of emotions within him and he didn't know why.

disclaimer: i own neither inuyasha nor csi; both belong to their respectable owners

"hey missy" the southerner spoke leaning on the counter waiting for his prints that she texted him about. "so what do ya have?" he asked stretching his neck out slightly to look at the piece of paper that she had gripped in her hands.

kagome smiled and playfully narrowed her eyes at the man. he was always such a large flirt, "maybe i don't want to tell you cowboy". she sat on her stool, her fingers delicately holding the results of some prints that nick wanted her to analyze. seemed like there was a bit of residue that was mixed with the print that they had picked up at one of his 419's.

currently she was on a graveyard shift, something she didn't want to work. it was the only job that was open, eventually she would want to move to swing, or day shift but she would have to wait for that. "they were oh so interesting too," she purred taking her glasses off that she used sometimes, elegantly she placed them on her head so she could see him better.

recollection seemed to spring to his eyes "what do you want then miss. kagome?" he asked her knowing that she was looking for something really good. "possibly

eakfast? with me maybe?" his words were smooth but there was a hint of curiosity if she would accept.

"you pay?" she asked glancing over the sheet of paper she still held, of course she would accept

eakfast. she was only a growing girl; she needed her food! for a second she looked down to her flat tummy, thankfully she had decided to stop by the gym later, it had been a while since she had been there.

his chuckle made her look back up to him "yeah yeah missy, i'll pay" he stated before reaching out to try to grab the piece of paper. immediately she pulled it away from him, wanting to read it to him instead.

she looked down and started her explanation "it's not much but i checked it out and found traces of styrene butadiene" she spoke the chemical flawlessly. "specifically it's a synthetic rubber, usually found in gloves" kagome continued to say waiting for nick to respond to the new information.

"alright…" he trailed off wondering if that was all she had for him. "i am paying for

eakfast and you give me that?" he questioned tilting his head to look at her from another angle, almost to see if she was toying with him.

kagome rolled her eyes "well like some synthetic rubbers, certain chemicals can be found in certain things. specifically this chemical is in a glove called elastyren". she moved her glasses from her head and placed them back on her face so she could continue to read "hermal is the manufacturer" she stated. "couldn't find any other gloves that had the chemical makeup so that's the one and only. one of your witnesses was a doctor right?" she asked nick hoping he would know where she was going with the question.

"he was allergic to latex," he stated thinking back to people he had interviewed knowing that the doctor had something to do with the crime now.

kagome passed him the paper to check over "just me, but maybe check to see if he gets a specific

and of gloves" she teased him while he read over her findings.

"yeah yeah you're so smart" nick rolled his eyes while directing a small smirk her way. "i'll pick you up after shift alright?" he continued knowing that he would still have to wait to

ing in his suspect for more questioning.

kagome nodded before taking off her glasses once more "let me know if something else comes up, but yeah i'll see you then" with crime scene investigators one could never be certain on previous plans made.

"right missy" he bid her a quick farewell, and she saw him round the corner of the glass area where the lab rats were kept. he looked serious as he continued to walk before she could no longer see him.

she frowned to herself as she looked at her table. things needed to be done and she hated it so much. after returning from the past she wanted to go into something similar to what she dealt with when traveling around japan. fight the bad guys and come out on top.

seemed like her mother had an entirely different idea for what she wanted her daughter to be in. instead of becoming something like a police officer or a detective, at least something that dealt with fieldwork, her mother requested a job with less danger.

kagome picked up a bag full of evidence from one of catherine's cases, just a simple smash n' grab that turned out worse. after losing a bet with warrick and nick she had to take any bad case that went their way. catherine's case turned out better when a body was discovered while she was at the scene. nick and warrick missed out.

she opened the bag carefully and started to work on some of the evidence that she had collected.

as she worked she also thought. her mother that had worried about her night and day for almost three years of her young life asked her to take a job that wouldn't be dangerous. for some reason she could not say 'no' to her mother, but still wanting to work in solving crimes and catching bad guys she signed up to be a csi, specifically lab work. she studied hard, went to a good school, and improved on her language skills. now she was able to speak both english, and spanish, and of course her native language.

to say her mother was thrilled that she earned a spot at one of the top ranked crime labs in america. even more thrilled that she was in no way in any danger.

she was so focused on her thoughts and the evidence she didn't notice the other lab tech walk up behind her. "hey!" he shouted right next to her ear.

kagome dropped the piece of evidence and as she went to stand her hand landed on the hotplate she had on for analyzing evidence later. immediately when her limb touched the hot surface she tore her hand away from it. quickly she cursed in japanese tearing the rubber glove off her hand so she could run the burn under cold-water immediately.

greg noticing what had happened moved so she could reach the faucet quicker, while he took care of what she was working on. making sure the evidence was bagged and the hotplate was turned off. "i'm sorry!" he said, nervous that he could have caused her serious harm.

the water was running and she stuck her red hand under the liquid. the cool sensation eased her pain and she gave a sigh in response.

when she didn't answer he walked over to where she was "are you alright?" he asked, again concern showing.

kagome nodded and turned her hand under the water, making sure it hit the places that she was burned. her fingers got the most of the torment. it only takes a moment for one to get burned, and even though she was quick with taking her hand off it still burned her slightly. so much for staying out of danger.

"yeah i'm alright" she replied all while she kept her hand under the water, knowing once she removed it that the sting would come back. she wouldn't be able to pick up anything for the rest of the night probably.

greg looked embarrassed and guilty "i'm sorry i didn't think you'd flip that much" he comment was joking but still shy. "don't tell gris" he pleaded with her.

kagome could have frowned and rolled her eyes at the comment. he was sincere about not thinking the harmless joke would cause so much pain. "i probably have first degree burns, possibly second, and here you are worried about what dr. grissom thinks?" she asked him, a hint of light humor in her voice.

she really cared for greg; it was a good friendship at first. they had fun at work, able to play pranks on each other and the rest who worked at the lab. somewhere between that and now she grew a bit of a crush on the childish man. she was in a similar situation as him possibly. she grew up too fast, even though their antics were childish to everyone else, they needed that sort of tie to a childhood that they never had.

he liked to have fun, and so did she. it was a nice taste from the seriousness of possibly dying each day in a battle. even the angry half-demon being insulting on a regular basis was enough to put a frown on her face or even make her cry at times. she was done with serious, she wanted to be goofy and greg liked to do just that.

"any better?" he asked standing next to her checking her hand to make sure she didn't have a serious burn.

she allowed him to check out her hand, it wasn't as bad as she had thought at first. it would take a while to heal though. "what's your diagnosis?" kagome shifted her eyes up to look at him. usually the man who to everyone else looked so short was so tall compared to her.

a face that appeared to be thoughtful made it's way to his face, and he was quiet for a moment. "hold on" he said moving her hand back under the water as he went to grab something.

kagome cocked her head to the side, and looked after greg as he jogged out of where they were working and down the hallway. almost running into someone along the way, at the last moment he turned and looked as though he was going to fall but caught himself.

she glanced to her hand; she had to make a big deal about it. not only because it hurt like hell (which it had), but also she couldn't very well go and use her abilities to speed up the healing process. no one else aside from her family would ever know that she had abilities that were assumed to be folklore. she wanted to keep it that way.

when her hand was starting to go numb from the ice cold water, she reached up and tore a piece of the

own paper towel from the roll that was sitting there. she folded it slight and soaked it in the water before turning the faucet off completely. kagome then wrapped the coldness around her hand and pressed it there while she went to sit down.

she could hear thumping echoing down the hallway. since it was also nightshift it almost seemed louder with the lack of people. she smiled as she caught the man twist around the corner and slide into the room. his feet skid on the polished floor, his arms reached out and balanced himself as he came to a stop. instantly he walked over to where she was and set the small bottle of whatever he had on the counter. he then picked up her hand and peeled the

own paper towel from it.

the red skin made him frown and he felt even worse about what had happened. his right hand held her hand still as he reached for the tube of anti-burn cream. something he always kept with him in his locker. never could be too cautious.

greg twisted the cap open and spread some of the cream onto her hand, which he started to treat. "hold on" he commented walking over to the far side of the room. he then leaned down to pull a small first aid kit that was pushed to the back wall, pretty much forgotten.

kagome watched as he

ought over the box and started to fix up her burn. "maybe you should let gris know," he murmured flipping a piece of gauze around the back of her hand.

she grinned as he helped her with her hand "you aren't getting off that easy" she said watching as he worked.

he also grinned knowing what she was thinking. of course she was lightening the mood. "yeah?" he questioned her as he finished wrapping the gauze around her hand.

"mhmm" she hummed out reaching up with her other hand to shift some of the bandages so it was more comfortable. "i'll do the paper work and you got the evidence," she stated grinning at him. thankfully the hand that she favored to write with wasn't burned. working with the evidence would require both hands, so they left greg or one of the other people who worked in the lab to accomplish that.

"that sounds fair" he stated finished the bandaging. he dropped her hand and went to put everything away in the first aid kit. "should i put music on?" he questioned, a sly bit of excitement escaping into his voice as he placed the item away.

kagome laughed and shot a

ight smile his way "work wouldn't be fun without it!" her voice was chipper as greg made it back to where she was.

his hand reached over into the pocket of his lab-coat, a small remote for the cd-player appeared in his hand. for a moment he looked down to the object and pressed a few buttons. immediately the sound blasted through the speakers, making a few people who were passing by stop and look at who was making the ruckus. "so much better" greg commented placing the remote back in his pocket and made his way to where kagome was working on catherine's evidence.

"alright then" he stated cracking his knuckles and glancing at what kagome had to do. "time to make magic happen" he joked snapping a new pair of latex gloves on his hands and winking at kagome beside him.

she only giggle before getting up and checking what paperwork he had yet to complete.

"what's up?" greg asked as kagome's phone beeped showing it had a text message. it was in the wee early hours of morning. in a few minutes or so they would get off of work. at least kagome would. he had to meet with gris after work. it seemed like cath had spilled the beans about what had happened to kagome.

she flipped her phone closed and turned his way. her hair was tied up into a loose bun and pieces of hair flowed around her face. for a moment he lost interest in what he was working on, and an empty test tube dropped from his hands to the counter. the loud sound of glass hitting the hard surface startled him from his slip and he nervously scrambled to pick up the tube; thankfully it wasn't

oken.

"be careful," she chided with a light voice. "anyway" she continued turning to greg and lifting her right hand up, placing the elbow on the work surface and resting her chin on her palm. "nick's taking me out to

eakfast, he's just finishing up with some work. he just told text me that he would meet me in front after i was ready" she replied moving so she could stuff her phone in her lap-coat pocket.

greg frowned while she finished up with what she was working on. adding a few last comments on the paperwork in front of her. he knew that nick liked to flirt, but the surprise of her having

eakfast with the southerner put him down slightly. "oh" he stated looking back to the table with the empty test tubes. he had been cleaning up before going to see gris.

"you can tag along if you want" she stated signing what she needed to and went to put away the papers.

greg shook his head and put a smile on his face "no" he said a bit too quickly, "i had something else planned today" he came up with the lie. technically he was going to go home and think of a way to ask out the japanese girl who worked with him. "have fun with nick though" he spoke the man's name with slight apprehension.

she took a moment to look at him, his weird behavior confusing her slightly because of the way her one eye

ow lifted in a perfect curve. "alright" she said slowly before taking her glasses off and placing them in her pocket of the dark blue lab coat.

"see you tonight" he comment as she went to leave. he stared at her thin frame that was being hidden from the larger coat.

kagome turned, her few stands of hair moving as she did so, "sorry i got called off. dr. grissom said i shouldn't work" she lifted her bandaged hand to show him why she wasn't going to be working. "i'll see you tuesday alright?" she waved politely as she walked around the corner toward the locker rooms.

greg slumped when she was out of sight; his day was just getting worse. not only did he feel bad about burning her and was going on a date with nick, but also that he wasn't going to be able to see her for work that night. he groaned as he heard the ring tone of his phone, showing that he just received a text. flipping it open he saw a message from gris. he had forgot another bad thing that happened to him, seeing his boss after work.

sighing he flipped his phone closed not even bothering to respond to the message. finishing cleaning up kagome's area where he had been working he stepped out of the space about ten minutes after his shift was supposed to end. he paused in his steps down the hallways as he saw the girl that he had been crushing on; apparently she had switched out of clothes for work. her back was to him so she didn't see him stare at her.

her long black hair was pooling down her back, and she had a baby blue tank top on. her outfit was complete with a pair of faded ripped jeans; on her it made them look high end stylish.

though the outfit was simple, for some reason it fit her personality. adventurous looking and simple, but sophistication if one knew how to wear them. a hint of a smile appeared on his face until he saw she was walking to the front of the building. thus reminding him of her date with nick.

when kagome drifted around the corner he continued with his path to go find gris. heaving a sigh he turned a corner.

"hey man what's wrong with you?" warrick replied when he got close enough to the lab tech. a few papers were in his hands, and greg could only assume that he was pulling a double.

"gotta talk with gris" he commented shrugging his shoulders giving the impression that was all he was put down about.

warrick nodded his head "ahh about the kagome situation" though it sort of sounded like a question he had phrased it more in a comment.

"yeah" greg stated shoving his hands in his pockets of his lab coat. a bit annoyed that gossip spread like wildfire in the lab.

warrick shuffled the papers that he was carrying. "i'm guessing that kagome left for

eakfast already" he stated looking at greg "since you're hanging around out here instead of hovering over her".

he looked confused for a moment, annoyed that even warrick knew about nick and kagome's date. "what are you talking about?" he questioned referring to the other part of what he had said.

the csi looked to the lab tech "come on" he said raising an eye

ow at the shorter guy. "everyone knows that you want her so bad" poor choice of words but he had got the point across.

greg snapped his eyes around to make sure no one else was in earshot of the comment that was said. "nooo" he drawled out, lifting his arm to rub the back of his neck "she's just a friend" he tried to persuade.

warrick shot him a look obviously not fooled by the tech's words. "sure" he stated shaking his head slightly "anyway i got to get going". as he went to leave he spoke again to the younger man "better hurry otherwise someone else is gonna grab her up".

greg turned when warrick passed him "you would know out of anyone" his comment sounded suspicious. "she's on a date with nick, so of course she's taken" he clarified when warrick didn't respond.

a loud laugh escaped from the other man when he heard the comment that he had made. "you cannot be serious greg" his voice was light with the obvious joke that he had got.

he looked at the few people that stopped when warrick was thrown into a laughing fit. ignoring them he dropped his voice slightly lower "wait i'm missing something right?"

"oh you missed something big" the csi responded, "her and nicky aren't on a date, she made him

ibe her. for the exchange of information that he used to solve his case she requested that he pay for her

eakfast".

greg paused to think over what she had said. kagome never mentioned that it had been a date that she was going on, for working with csi's he had indeed missed something big. "do you know where they were going?" he asked warrick who looked like he really had to go.

"sorry" the man replied, "i'm assuming the regular diner, but no he never told me" he finished before saying goodbye to the lab tech and leaving to work on what he needed.

greg leaned back against one of the walls in the hallway. his mind swirled with where they could have went. "i feel like a stalker" his voice was quiet. he shook his head, but stopped when he remembered that kagome had asked if he wanted to join them for

eakfast.

before he could dwell on it any longer his phone's ring tone sound loudly. immediately he knew that gris had probably text him again to make sure that he was on his way. it wasn't like he was scared of gris, well maybe he was slightly scared. it was more about disappointing a father figure.

greg sighed and started to make his way towards his boss' office knowing that the lecture would be one about not goofing around during work hours, otherwise someone could get hurt.

he flipped his phone closed and leaned back into the leather seat of his car. he tried getting hold of kagome, her phone was shut off or it was dead. nick had only said that after

eakfast he had drove back to work so that kagome could retrieve her car.

greg turned the radio up now that he wasn't talking to anyone on his phone. guess since he had missed

eakfast with them he might as well head on home and get some sleep.

shaking his head with disappointment in himself he went to pull out of the shopping plaza that he had been parked in. driving through the parking lot he pulled up so he could turn out to one of the main roads. clicking his signal on to the left he looked right then left to check for cars.

his attention was grabbed when a smaller silver vehicle pulled into the shopping plaza. the japanese girl that he had been searching for didn't seem to notice him though.

greg went to switch his vehicle into reverse, but the group of cars blocked his path from doing so. grumbling to himself he decided to turn right instead so he could pass by the other entrance into the plaza.

checking for cars once more he turned and immediately hit is signal again to turn back into the plaza. scanning the parking lot he caught the view of kagome's silver car.

okay now he was officially a stalker.

he didn't even know why he was following her in the first place. it started off as going to
