Chapter 3 - Sleeping arrangements

 

Kagome's eyes widened as realization dawned her. She could feel her heart beating faster. She was afraid. All the anger she had felt earlier disappeared and this new feeling took hold of her.

 

Her scent and Inuyasha sensed the change. He was slightly confused. Just a few seconds ago she had been yelling and destroying his possessions and now she was afraid. He saw her mouth open to scream so he jumped forward and shut it with his right hand grabbing her arms with the other and pushing her face down on the couch.

 

“Call Sango!” He ordered his older friend.

 

 

> > > >

 

It was well past midnight when Sango's cell-phone began to ring. She turned on to the other side to reach the end table where her phone danced vibrating. Sango looked at the screen and when she saw who was calling she rejected it and put it back from where she took it. She went back to sleep. Just minutes later it began to ring again. She reached for it again. This time it was someone else. As long as it wasn't Miroku she could answer.

 

“Hi Inuyasha!” Sango mumbled rubbing her eyes.

 

“Sango! Thank god you answered!” Sango was now very awake. The voice at the other end of the line wasn't Inuyasha's but Miroku's, the one person she didn't want to speak to. “Why didn't you answer to me before” he continued ranting in Sango's ear until another voice intervened.

 

“Miroku!” Inuyasha screamed so that she could hear him “Stop ranting and tell her to come already!”

 

“Miroku, what's going on?” Sango was afraid to ask.

 

“We need you to help us. This chick came out of the TV and she thinks we kidnapped her…” Miroku didn't finish because he was cut of by a very angry Sango.

 

“You kidnapped a girl?” Sango screamed to the phone. A bump was heard on her wall accompanied by a man's voice” Sango keep it down!” her father complained.” O.K. dad!” Sango responded before returning to her phone.

 

“Are you two out of your minds?” she said in a lower voice than before.

 

“But that's what she thinks! Please come talk to her Sango!” he pleaded.

 

“What happened?” she was now very confused.

 

“We'll tell you when you get here! Please hurry!” Miroku said with a pleading voice.

 

“O.K but you'll have to come and pick me up.” Miroku agreed and she closed her phone. Fifteen minutes later she was in the street waiting for him.

 

> > > >

 

Inuyasha had one hand on Kagome's mouth and the other was keeping her glued to the couch. Small tears began to form in the corners of her eyes then she began to sob swallowing from time to time. The scent of salt water reached his nose. He looked desperately at the girl; he just couldn't stand women cry.

 

“Please don't cry” his shaky voice made her stop sobbing. She looked up at him and saw his concerned eyes. `Why does he care?' she wondered. If he and the man that left had kidnapped her then he shouldn't have cared. `Maybe I'm wrong'.

 

“Wmmhmm” she mumbled.

 

“What?” Kagome threw him an annoyed look and gestured to his hand. He hesitated but then caught her scent changing again. She wasn't afraid anymore. It was now that he realized how pretty she smelled `Lavender' he thought inhaling deeply. He mentally slapped himself `What am I doing?' he removed both of his hands from the girl and stepped back. She rose to a sitting position on the couch wiping her tears with her hands.

 

“Why do you care?” she asked not looking at him.

 

“What? About the crying? I hate to see women cry” he said bluntly.

 

“Oh!” was she disappointed? She looked at him and saw his years.

 

“What are those” she inquired standing and taking a step towards him.

 

“What?” Inuyasha fallowed her with his eyes as she approached his cute dog ears. “What are you doing?” he asked putting his hands on his hips looking very annoyed as Kagome started to rub his years. He would have liked to take the girl and throw her out the window for this but reconsidered; at least she wasn't crying.

 

It was like that that Sango found them.

 

“What is Kikyou doing here?” Kagome retracted her hands when she heard the foreign voice, blushing a light shade of pink. Inuyasha also blushed.

 

“You finally came!” he snorted.

 

“Inuyasha, are you blushing?” Miroku mocked.

 

“Keh!” was all he could say.

 

> > > >

 

Sango asked what happened being very careful with the details. She was beginning to understand what might have happened but kept her thoughts to herself. She then asked Kagome:

 

“So where do you live?”

 

Kagome opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She closed it and opened it again. A tear appeared and rolled on her check. “I can't remember” she said leaning in Sango's arms. She began crying again.

 

“This is just great!” Inuyasha complained. “Crying will surely help you remember.”

 

“Will you just leave me in peace? I didn't ask for this to happen!” she argued back.

 

“Calm down kids!” Miroku put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.

 

“Miroku is right. There's no helping if you fight. The best we can do tonight is getting some sleep. “ Sango added.

 

“Kagome” Miroku caught her attention”You must be tired. Let me show you to my room”. Sago's hand met his check with a loud slap leaving behind a red imprint. She then turned to Inuyasha.

 

“It's better if you give her your room.” Inuyasha wanted to protest but rethought the matter, he couldn't leave her in Miroku's room, that leech couldn't have held his hands to himself; on the couch she was still in the leech's reach. In his room she would be safe. Wait a minute, why did he care? He would have to think at that latter. He finally nodded.

 

“O.K. then! I'll come back tomorrow with some clothes for Kagome and we'll try to solve this. Come Miroku, take me home” she said standing up.

 

“Yes sir!” he smiled doing the same.

 

Sango approached Kagome and told her not to worry. They hugged. Miroku leaned to hug Kagome to but was sent aback by one of Sango's slaps.

 

They finally left. Kagome looked at Inuyasha waiting. He led her towards his room.

 

“You sleep here.” he showed her the bed.” If Miroku tries anything just scream” She nodded.

 

“Thank you!” he heard her voice while closing the door.
