Chapter 6

True Feelings

The sun shone through the window, making it impossible for Inuyasha to sleep anymore. He opened his eyes and peered around the room. It wasn't his room, or Kagome's; he wasn't sure where he was. He felt a soft and warm breath hitting the side of his neck, and it only took him moments to realize who it was. Kagome was lying almost the whole length of him and his arms were wrapped around her tightly. He tried to remember how this happened, but he couldn't remember a thing. One thing was for sure that they hadn't done anything because they both still had their clothing on, but that was when he noticed that his shirt was missing.

He tried so hard to remember, but the most he could remember was fighting with Kouga after he tried to get something from Kagome. Thinking back Inuyasha remembered most of the fight and the look of fear in Kagome's eyes.

Then his attention was drawn to the sleeping girl, who was now waking up.

"Hmm…morning…" She said as she opened her eyes to slits. Then she noticed that he was awake.

"It's about time! You were out cold last night, I couldn't get out of your ice tight grip." Kagome said laughing softly.

"What happened last night?" He asked.

"Last night…well Kouga got drunk and tried to kiss me, and then you came to my rescue and kicked his butt. Then after he was knocked unconscious, I took you up here to bandage you up. I think you were drunk or something but you kissed me and then fell pulling me down with you. I only got interrupted twice, but no biggie."

"I did what!"

"What did you do?"

"I…kissed…you?"

"Yeah, you did." Kagome said slightly blushing.

She put her head down on his chest to hide her blush and peered over at the alarm clock on the dresser. It read: 12:06.

"Oh my god! We're so late! Mom is going to kill me!" Kagome cried with open eyes.

"But it's only 12. I though we were supposed to stay over?"

"NO! She never said that, and now we're dead!"

Kagome got up off of Inuyasha and grabbed his hand. He grabbed his shirt in the process before being pulled out the front door. She didn't stop for anything and quickly let go of his hand. He slowed down and pulled his pace to a walk. He slipped his shirt over his head before he heard Kagome yell at him.

"WHAT ARE YOU STOPPING FOR! WE HAVE TO RUN!" Kagome freaked.

"Umm…all the way? I think not. I have a better way of getting home." Inuyasha smirked.

She looked at him not sure of what he was planning and walked up to her. Before she knew what was happening she was flung on his back like before.

"Hold on tight."

Inuyasha suddenly leapt into the air. It felt just like it had before, only this time it was in the middle of the day. Soon Inuyasha landed on the roof outside her window and let her off.

"Be quite and hope you don't get caught." He whispered in her ear before he jumped off.

Kagome climbed through her window and made her way to her bed. She heard footsteps coming towards her door and jumped under her covers. Kagome knew that it was probably Souta coming to try and scare her, but little did he know that Kagome had a little trick up her sleeve.

She waited with her eyes closed until she heard his tiny footsteps reach her bedside. She heard a deep breath of air and Kagome took this as her que. She popped up screaming as loud as she could and Souta almost died of a heart attack. He ran away with his eyes bulging out of his head.

"Sucker…" Kagome mumbled to herself.

She got up and made her way over to her mirror. She still had make-up on and her outfit was a little wrinkly. She knew her mom would be asking questions so she did the only thing that she knew. She ran to the bathroom before anyone could see her.

She locked the door right away and then started to wash her face. It came off quickly and she made sure that she had no marks indicating that she had make up on. Then she slid out of her outfit and folded it neatly. She looked around the bathroom and found no towel whatsoever. She opened the drawers and only found facecloths. It was hopeless, she knew that she had to just bolt to her room.

She popped her head out the door and made sure that no one was there. Then she bolted to her bedroom before any soul could see her. She closed her door and tossed her clothing on the ground. Then she turned around and screamed again.

Inuyasha standing in her room staring at her with wide eyes and his jaw dropped. Her face turned bright red as she saw what he was looking at and tried to cover herself up with her hands. He snapped out of it and was about to leap out the window when her grandpa came strolling out into the yard sprinkling some sort of powder over the land, muttering words under his breath.

She was about to scream at him when he came over and placed a hand over her mouth. She looked shocked at his sudden movement and Kagome glared at him.

"I heard you scream and I came to see what happened." Inuyasha said. "And now your grandpa is out there muttering stuff to himself and I can't exactly jump out your window."

He looked at her, hoping that she would understand, but all he got was a hand raised to pull away his hand. She opened her mouth to say something, but there came a knock at the door.

"Kagome…are you okay honey? Ms. Higurashi said from the door.

"I-I'm fine mom, just scared myself silly. It's alright."

"Well I'm coming in just to see that you're alright."

"NO! I'm in my undies."

"Nothing I haven't seen before."

The doorknob turned and Kagome started to panic. She looked around her room for a place to stash Inuyasha, and then her eyes drifted towards her over-stuffed closet. She shoved Inuyasha towards it and crammed him in with the rest of her junk. He didn't want to but he had no choice; he wasn't sure what picture her mother would get. The door started opening and Kagome didn't want her mom to see her in her underwear. She knew that somewhere in this story, she would get embarrassed. She squeezed herself in after him with a red face. He looked at her as if asking her `what?' but she put a finger up and listened to her mom.

"Kagome?"

"Uh…yeah mama?" Kagome said as Inuyasha and her were pressed up against each other, leaving no personal space.

"A-are you in the closet?" Her mom asked.

"Uh…yeah, don't come in though. I'm naked and-and I'm changing." Kagome's voice was partially muffled because of Inuyasha.

"Mom…" Souta had come in the room. "Grandpa wants to talk to you…hey, where's Kagome?"

He looked around the room for any trace of his sister, not finding much.

"In the closet." She replied with a sigh as she left the room.

Souta eyed the closet, not feeling the urge to leave just yet. He made his way over to the close, scheming ways to make his sister pay. Then it came to him all too quickly. An evil smile spread across his face as he grabbed her chair and dragged it over to the door. He stuck the chair under the handle of the door and made sure that it would hold.

"Revenge is sweet…" Souta mumbled to himself as he ran out of the room without a backward glance.

"I think they're both gone." Kagome said listening for anything. "Hey they're gone."

She reached with her right hand to grab the knob, but she couldn't reach it. She just wasn't flexible enough.

"I can't reach the doorknob, you try." She asked not looking up at him.

Inuyasha looked behind her, eyes scanning for the knob. He detected it by Kagome's butt, and with a grin he reached out his left hand. He brushed her derriere with his hand as he grasped the knob, only making Kagome jump into him. He turned it and tried to push it, but it wouldn't. He tried pushing harder but it still didn't work.

"I can't open it." He said simply.

"It can't be…" She said trying to twist around and see.

Then a certain younger brother popped into her mind.

"SOUTA! YOU STUPID JERK!" She screamed.

Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head as her shrill voice made him wince.

"Shut you're fuckin' trap wench!" Inuyasha snapped at her. "You're killing my ears!"

She quieted down and blushed slightly from embarrassment. She looked at his chest, sniffing slightly. She made a mental note that he smelt really good. The uncomfortable silence was making Inuyasha feel out of place and soon had to break it.

"So…how do we get out of here?" He asked looking everywhere but her.

"I don't know, I was hoping that you had an idea." She said glancing up at him.

"Me? I thought you would have one since you always seem to!" He said back shocked slightly.

"Right, me the master of ideas. Like that would ever happen." She mumbled to herself.

Inuyasha couldn't find much to look at, and he soon found himself looking downwards at Kagome. He smiled and suddenly started to go into `Miroku' mode.

"You know, you really have some nice bo-" He said with a grin on his face.

Kagome cut him off as she rammed her knee into his groin. His eyes opened wide and his hands would've shot down to hold himself, but Kagome was in the way. His eyes turned into slits and he bit his bottom lip to try and help the pain go away. He started to sink downwards, his legs giving way to his demise.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked as she started to slide down with him, against her will.

He didn't respond incase he would let out a howl of pain. Slowly Inuyasha slunk against the door, his back pressing against the wood. He was cramped with his legs against the wall. Kagome ended up sitting on him, with her back leaning against his legs. Kagome didn't like this position all too much, seeing as her legs were parted on either side of him.

"Great position eh?" He said with a smirk when he regained the proper pitch for his voice.

"Yeah, just so great." She grumbled as she sighed loudly.

She looked over at him, and wondered why on earth he had a huge grin on his face. She didn't give him a puzzled look or a dirty glare, but followed his gaze until she found herself looking at her own chest. She looked back at him and her face turned a bright red. She brought her hand back and slapped him so hard that it echoed throughout the house.

"HENTAI!" She screamed in his face.

He rubbed his cheek with a scowl on his face and started mumbling curses under his breath.

"Serves you right you pervert!" She said crossing her arms across her chest, trying to cover herself up.

She knew it wasn't working so she sent him a deathly glare, praying that it would burn a hole through his head.

"You're such a sleaze-bag." Kagome said as she gave up trying to cover herself and leaned back on Inuyasha's legs.

"Well I can't help it. I'm only man…" Inuyasha smirked at her as he lowered his hand from the handprint.

"Not all guys are like you!" She snapped at him pointing a finger at him.

"Yeah, and who exactly are you referring to? Someone from you little world?"

"NO! You stupid jerk, his name is Hojo as a matter of fact. And he's a lot nicer than you!"

"Hobo? You like a hobo? Man you really have bad taste in men." He scoffed at her.

"God were you born stupid? It's Hojo!"

"Right, and this guy is `nicer' than me? Yeah right. I bet he's really ugly and everyone hates him-"

"Actually every girl fawns over him, and he just happens to like me. And I would be more than happy to go out with him."

"Why don't you go out with Mr. Perfect then?" He challenged her.

"Uh…be-because I don't want to…but that's not my point. My point is that you are being rude and are the biggest jerk I've ever seen!" She said poking him hard in the shoulder.

"Oh, so you're going to be pushy now. Two can play this little game of yours wench" Inuyasha said with a evil gleam in his eyes.

Kagome saw the glint in his eyes and knew that he wasn't about to play fair at all. Before she knew what was happening, Inuyasha started to poke her in the sides, making her giggle and squirm.

"Inu-Inuyasha pl-ease do-on't…" She said as she held her sides in fear of them splitting from all the laughing she was doing.

"How about…no? I'm enjoying watching you suffer." He said with a grin.

Inuyasha continued to poke at her side, that is until she found his weak spot, under the knees. She reached back and tickled him there, and right away he stopped poking her. He bit his tongue to try and hold back his laugh attacks, but it wasn't having much effect.

He focused on preventing her from tickling him and started to grab for her hands. He got a hold on her wrists and pulled her close. He pulled her just a little too close then he intended on, making their breath's hit each other's.

"I found your weak spot now!" Kagome said with a smile.

"So, at least I know how to make you squirm!" He retorted back.

Kagome let the closeness pass, not really taking the seriousness in it and backed off a little. She didn't have far to go because he still had a hold on her wrists. She tried to squirm out of his hold, but he didn't seem too reluctant to let go.

"So I am getting punished or what?" She asked giving up on trying to get free.

"If you want to be punished I can have that arranged." He said with a smirk.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she took in what she said.

"Trying to be a bad boy all of a sudden?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Who ever said I wasn't one?" He said bringing her slightly closer.

When her nose was almost touching his, he brought a hand around her waist, letting go of her wrists. Then his free hand quickly poked at her side and her let out a laugh of surprise.

"So we're going back to this game!" She said with a slight smile.

He kept his arm tightly around her waist so she couldn't reach back and tickle him in his weak spot. She continued to laugh and neither realized the loosening of the door under their weight. On the other side of the door the knob started to jiggle and slowly with each pounding against the door, it started to break, being tilted upwards from the chair. And then the knob completely broke, sending the chair sprawling backwards.

Inuyasha fell back, pulling Kagome with him. She was pulled right on top of him, also from his arm being wrapped around her waist. She pulled her head up and looked around the room.

"Cheater." She said looking down at him.

"I never said I was a good boy." He said back, his voice becoming low.

Inuyasha smiled back up at her, and she just beamed down at him. She looked deeply into his eyes, unable to tear her gaze away from his amber depths. There was a twinkle that she'd never noticed in them before. Somewhere inside of her chest she felt something tug, making her hold her breath at the action.

The smile that he had on his face faded away. He was looking into Kagome's eyes, wondering why she was looking at him the way she was. Her smile had faded long before he felt his own escape his face. Her face slowly started to reach towards his, as if she had no control on herself.

"What exactly are we doing?" She whispered as her lips were only inches from his.

"I don't know…but it feels right." He whispered back, his eyes darting from her lips to her eyes.

"Someone might catch us…"

"Take a chance, you make look angelic, but you ain't so innocent on the inside…" He said with a slight smirk.

Then and there she leaned in that last few inches to capture his lips. He was quick to press back and let his hands travel to the small of her back. She opened her mouth a tiny bit; unaware of what to do, but was suddenly surprised when Inuyasha had followed her lead. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and moved his hands up her back.

Kagome had never taken any chances in her whole life, and somewhere she felt the thrill of it. She was just getting into the whole `kiss' thing when there was a loud thump. She pulled away and looked up at the source.

Hojo was standing in her doorway with a shocked expression on his face. He had dropped a book on the ground, more like three books than one.

"I-I'm sorry f-for interrupting." Hojo stammered as he bent down and picked up the books from the ground. "I-I f-forg-got t-to giv-e th-ese to y-you, h-here."

He placed them on her desk and disappeared as quickly as he had come. Kagome sighed loudly and dropped her head on his chest.

"And that was?" He asked looking at her.

"Hojo…" She said looking up at him while resting her chin on his chest.

"That hobo guy you were talking about in there?"

"Yeah."

There was a moment of silence when Inuyasha had enough guts to speak.

"Is there something wrong?"

"It would've been better if he hadn't seen this, now he'll tell everyone that I was making out with the guy who is staying with me on my bedroom floor in my underwear. Not exactly the picture I want people to see me in."

"Ah…well you're screwed." He said with a smirk. Kagome looked at him.

"You're screwed too!" She said trying to sit up. He still had his arm around her waist and wasn't about to let her go anytime soon.

"Where do you think you're going?" He said playfully.

"To get dressed, if you haven't noticed in still in my underwear."

"Don't hear me complaining."

She smiled at him while rolling her eyes before he quickly flipped her over and pinned her down. She giggled slightly before he cut her off with another kiss. She didn't let him get his tongue past her lips, and had to cut the kiss short.

"Now I have to get dressed before my mom comes in…on this." She said emphasizing `this'.

"It wouldn't be too bad to see your mom's reaction." He said only to receive a thump on the head.

"Then you would be kicked out of my house faster than…well just fast."

He hesitated before he pulled himself off of Kagome. He stuck out a hand to pull her up, and she took it willingly. He yanked her up and pulled her into a tight hold. She smiled at him and he went to give her a quick kiss, but she pulled away with a smirk on her face.

"Not right now! You've been a naughty boy! And plus I need to get dressed." She said pointing a finger in his face. He nipped at the finger before lowering his mouth to her ear.

"You know you aren't that innocent as you seem to be…" He whispered huskily in her ear.

"You know, you still need to be punished for earlier events." She said with a slight smile.

"Can't wait." He said with a smile. He kissed her on the neck a few times before she had to pull away.

"Calm down there boy, I need to get dressed. And as for you, get some different clothing on, you might start to smell." She said walking over to her door.

"Now out before I kick you out." She said with a smile.

He took in her body one last time before leaving the room and heading to his own. She closed her door and turned on her music loud. It was The Used who came on and then she got dressed. She decided on a hot pink skirt and a white spaghetti strap. She let hair down and brushed it so it was soft. Within seconds she was done and then she headed down to the kitchen.

She arrived there just in time to see her mom and Souta head towards the door. Inuyasha was sitting at the table with a bowl full of cereal, as usual, and he had no shirt on. It would've looked like every other morning except that he wore a different smirk and they weren't glaring at each other.

"Kagome, I'm sorry about this but I have to go take Souta to his friends party and then I have to go get grandpa some specific things, and well I'm going to be out almost all day. I'm so sorry but can you please stay here with Inuyasha and try to get along." She asked looking at her.

"Okay mama, I'll try to be a good girl." She said flashing Inuyasha a look.

"Thank you honey, now I'm off." She said kissing Kagome on the head.

"Bye mama." Kagome said as she watched her mom leave with Souta.

The door closed and then Inuyasha came up from behind Kagome and wrapped his arms around her waist. His breath appeared by her ear and she laughed at him gently.

"I haven't even had my breakfast yet!" She exclaimed turning around in his arms.

"Well right here is an all you can eat buffet." He said quietly as he drew his lips closer to hers.

She leaned forward and closed the distance between the two of them. He pulled her closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck, tangling her fingers in his hair. She opened her mouth as if reading his mind and let him explore. Neither of them wanted to break away, but since they were all but human (or half-human in this case) they needed to breathe. They pulled away, both panting deeply.

"I think," She said breathing deeply, "That I should get some food now."

"Do you have to?" He asked in a whiney tone.

"Yes I do, so do you mind releasing your death grip on me?" She asked pulling her fingers from his hair.

He pulled away and sat back down at the table with a scowl on his face. She ignored his pouty behavior and pulled herself out an apple. A green apple. She glanced over at him, trying to read his mind. But she couldn't since she was powerless. She turned and started for her room, going to do something to pass the day. She of course knew that Inuyasha would follow her just like a lost puppy, but gave him no hint that she knew.

Her room was clean, and everything went where it was supposed to go, except a large book that sat on her desk. She walked over to it, wondering where she had gotten it. As she approached the book, she suddenly realized where she got it. She tossed her half-eaten apple into the garbage and she reached out with both hands and grasped the sides of the book tightly. She carried it over to her bed and dropped it so it bounced slightly.

Inuyasha was standing at her doorway observing her. From the way she was acting it seemed as if he was invisible to her, and he laughed at the thought. Then as she sat down next to it on her bed her voice drifted to his ears:

"You know you can come in if you want, you don't have to wait for me to invite you in." She said not looking up at him.

"I wasn't waiting for permission wench, I was just watching you. There a difference." He said as he walked into her room. "What's that?"

"It's a photo album, it was my dad's, or I mean my mom's husband." She said correcting herself.

"Oh okay." He said plopping down next to her.

She was staring at the cover, running her hand over it slowly. On the front of the brown cover was a tiny square that had gold engraving's in it. It read her father's name, Toutousai Higurashi. She sniffed back some tears and then opened to the first page.

It showed pictures of just him and her mother, a couple at first, then newlyweds. Kagome kept turning the page and watched her and Souta be sprung into the pictures one after another. Though there were hardly any pictures of Kagome in any of them, just mainly Souta and the rest of the family. Tears started to fall as it dawned on her the truth.

Inuyasha noticed that she started crying and put an arm around her. She leaned into his embrace slightly, but she still kept scanning over the pictures. He was tempted to ask her what was wrong, but he didn't want to disrupt her thought and emotions.

`He never loved me, only because I wasn't his. He shunned me from his life, pretending that I was nothing but a figment of his imagination.' She suddenly closed the book shut and started to cry. Inuyasha pulled her into him, not wanting to see her cry at all. She started to sob violently, shaking her frame. He rubbed a hand along her back and whispered things to her.

Kagome lifted her head finally after crying her heart out, and looked at Inuyasha with puffy eyes.

"He never loved me." She whispered to him. "He didn't love me because I wasn't his, and he punished my mother for it too."

Inuyasha wasn't sure what to say he'd never gone through what she was going through now. He opened his mouth to say something, but she placed a finger on his lips. A slightly wavered smile appeared on her face as she pulled back her finger.

"You don't have to say anything. It's already enough that you're here." She said placing a kiss on his cheek.

He watched her get up and walk into the bathroom, closing the door silently behind her. He let his gaze linger on the closed door for only moments longer before turning to the closed album in front of him. He knew that it isn't exactly right to snoop, but he felt that this was an exception. He flipped open to the last page and stared at it. There was one photo, which seemed to be folded slightly.

There were words above and below it `One Big Happy Family' it said altogether. He opened the plastic seal of the page and pulled out the picture. He turned the folded side back into the picture and saw a little Kagome standing there with a sad smile on her face. His heart felt like it cracked when he saw that, seeing Kagome folded out of a picture.

`How could her own father, even if not her real father, do this to her. Take her out of almost every picture in this thing? It's just not right…and I can't really blame her for this, but how will she take this in the end?' He thought to himself.

He closed the book and pocketed the picture. He was about to get up when he realized that he should move the album. He picked it up and placed it on her desk before exiting her room. He was about to knock on the bathroom door to see if she was all right, but she seemed to be crying again. It tore him apart to see her crying, or even hear her.

He reconsidered and went back to the kitchen to wait for something, and sort of things in his life.

***

Mrs. Higurashi had arrived home and was told that Kagome wasn't feeling too well and that she needed some alone time to recuperate. Inuyasha of course had taken the liberty to do so, since he felt it was his place to protect her. She hadn't come down for dinner, and then the next day she hadn't exited her room at all. It was on the third day that Mrs. Higurashi had had enough and wasn't going to let her daughter waste away in the room for any longer.

She walked up to Kagome's room and knocked on it. No answer came. Then she tried the knob, and it was locked. She started to pound against the door and cry her daughter's name out, alerting Inuyasha of the situation. He stepped out of his room to see if she was all right.

"Uh…Kia? Are you alright?" He asked politely.

"Oh Inuyasha! She's been in there for three whole days with nothing to eat! I need to see her, feed her, she's not going to stay in the anymore!" She said with a determined look on her face. "But I can't get inside. It's locked and I have no way of getting in!"

"I could try and…break down the door?" He suggested.

"Yes! Please do! I don't care if you break a hole in the wall, just please get me in there!" She cried.

He nodded and stepped out of his room.

"Just stay back incase the wood splinters." He warned her.

"Okay." She said stepping away from him and the door.

He took a few deep breaths before he rammed the door with all his force. The wood did indeed splinter, but it wasn't enough. He stepped back at hit it again, and that's when the door fell to the ground. Mrs. Higurashi stepped to the door and gasped at what she saw.

And FINIS! (a little French for you guys! ^__^) Anyway, that's the end, changed a little like I said before, and now that I'm tired as hell from staying up till 4 reading `The Girl and the Band' awesome story by the way, and eating pizza and popcicles and chocolate bar/granola bar things. I was so hyped on sugar it wasn't funny! I plan to pull an all nighter someday! Or more like night!

Peace
