Chapter 8

Kagome rolled over in her sleep, and for some strange reason, her body came into contact with something hard. It was SORT of soft, and kept her warm, but she had no idea what "it" was. Her door had been closed, so it definately couldn't be her cat. Besides, her cat wasn't THAT big and fat, was it? Either way, what was "it"?

When the thing in question moved, it became dangerously obvious that "it" was a human being.

Purposefully slowing her breathing to get her emotions under control, she poked the person in the upper left side of their chest.

There was no breast, or soft "squishyness," so it definately wasn't a female, either.

After poking the newly discovered "him," the man groaned out, and said something along the lines of "don't do that again, or I'll kill ya."

That did it.

Kagome opened her mouth to scream, but the man's hand clapped over her lips before the sound could be delivered.

With his free hand, the man in question frantically gestured to his hair.

The small amount of moonlight that shined in from the window allowed her to see that his hair was a silvery-white, and it was fairly long.

By closer inspection, she could see golden eyes staring into hers, which weren't frightning at all.

It was just Inuyasha, for christ's sakes.

"Don't you EVER do that to me again!" Kagome said to him in a mad whisper.

It's not like I PLANNED it, you wench!"

Kagome pulled herself into a sitting position, and looked down at him with anger in her eyes.

"Stop calling me WENCH!"

She looked down at her bed in a confused stare.

"How did we get here, anyway? The last place I remember being was in Miroku's car, when he had politely offered to drive me home..." She trailed off, thinking really hard.

"Well, you lazy cow, you fell asleep in the car, and then you had the NERVE to be practically ON TOP of me the whole time!"

"INUYASHA! Don't you think that if I could have controlled my movements while I slept, I would have moved FURTHER AWAY from you?"

"Probably not, wench. Anyway, I ended up carrying you inside your house, stumbled around upstairs in the dark, until I found your room. Your room was a lot easier to tell from the others, there's fucking pink EVERYWHERE! I had a hunch that you liked pink...but let me finish the rest of the story."

He had cut off her menacing growl, and she merely crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for him to finish his "story."

"I'd lay you down into your bed, but you wouldn't LET GO of me, so what was I supposed to do? I lay down with you, thinking that if I stayed with you for a while, you'd let go of me and I could leave. Of course, the minute I tried to get away, you protested in your sleep...and so here I am," he finished, mentally priding himself for managing to say all of that in a calm, whispered voice.

Kagome's face turned a crimson red, but thankfully he couldn't see it due to the very dark room.

Had she really kept him here, in her SLEEP? Something told her that he wouldn't make this all up, so she really had no choice but to believe him.

It's true that sometimes he could be a pain and do certain things on purpose just to annoy her, but this "story" sounded so REALISTIC.

Sighing defeatedly, she spoke to him after finally getting something to say.

"Well...I'm awake now, sort of anyway, so...if you want, you can leave..."

Inuyasha was taken aback; he'd expected her to call him a pervert and a liar, not send him away!

"I'm really sorry, Inuyasha...I really had no idea..." She trailed off once more, and sniffled as quietly as she could.

God, she felt so guilty; even to the point that she was near to tears.

Inuyasha felt something contract in his chest, and sat up.

He didn't WANT to see her cry, she didn't DESERVE to cry. Only to himself would he admit that he loved her smiles and whenever she was happy.

Hearing a small sob break the silence, he acted solely on instinct, and mentally said, "to hell with everything else."

Leaning forward, he brushed her bangs back with his fingers, and whispered into her lips,

"Don't cry, Kagome. I hate seeing you sad," and then he did the unthinkable.

His lips caressed hers, tasting nothing but her innocence. A single tear managed to fall from her tightly closed eyes, but it didn't matter. Kissing away the salty tear, he went back to her lips which now seemed more inviting now than ever before.

Timidly, she opened her mouth and felt his tongue creep inside.

It really wasn't as bad as she'd thought, or seen from people. It was insistent, but gentle.

What shocked her the most was the fact that he pulled away first.

A small smile could be seen on both of their lips, the tears long gone from Kagome's face.

"That's better, wench," he said as he pulled her body closer to his.

He lay her down beside him, and pulled her closer. Something had told him that she was cold, so he pulled the comforter over their bodies. As he did this, she buried her face into his neck.

Inhaling his intoxicating scent made her want to touch him, to see his reaction.

With caution not to scare him, Kagome glided her fingers through his long hair, revelling in how soft it was.

It was just as soft as she'd imagined it to be, but that didn't strike her as odd, for some reason.

Not expecting her to do that, he whispered into the crown of her head,

"What do you think you're doing, wench?"

Kagome grinned wickedly into his chest, and replied,

"Playing with your hair, obviously."

He rolled his eyes, and moved so he could see the faint outline of her face.

"Yes, captin obvious, I meant WHY are you doing that?"

After his intimidating question, she pulled her hand back quickly, as if it had been burned, and bowed her head.

"Hmmm...I wanted to see if it was as soft as I'd imagined. That's all..." she mumbled.

He smiled devilishly, knowing he was about to corner her.

"So, do you 'THINK' or 'IMAGINE' about me a lot?"

Kagome's face snapped back up instantly, and her mouth was open in outrage.

"You did that on PURPOSE! You're SNEAKY, you know that?" Kagome smiled, mentally telling herself that she had to be more careful around Inuyasha when speaking.

In response, he merely grinned and pulled her back into his warm embrace. He liked her being here, with him, like this...

Kagome held her breath, not knowing how she was going to ask him her next question.

"Inuyasha...?" She asked, on the slightly embarassed side.

"What now, wench?" He half-growled, half-sighed.

"I have to go pee..."

Earlier that night, just after Miroku and Sango left Inuyasha and Kagome at the Higurashi residence...

"Do you think that it was right of him to bring her upstairs like that? I mean, he could be doing things with her that she might not want..."

Miroku saw the red traffic light ahead and stopped the car to give his wife a withering glare.

"Do you really think that LOWLY of Inuyasha? Don't you think that if he was "that type" of guy, I wouldn't have hired him, because he would probably be playing with the actresses more than doing the directing?"

Sango immediately felt guilty for making such insinuations about Inuyasha, but you couldn't completely blame her. In reality, she was just looking out for Kagome, and didn't mean to make Inuyasha sound like a bad guy.

It's just that earlier Kagome had said that she wasn't ready for certain..."activities" yet, but something told Sango that Inuyasha was.

What Miroku had said was true, though; they WOULDN'T have hired him if he was a slacker and a bad person.

To make her guilt even worse, on top of it all, she'd known Inuyasha for a VERY long time; almost as long as she'd known Miroku. Then, suddenly, she started saying these things that he might try to do with Kagome? Which probably wasn't going to even happen, even though it was obvious he liked her a lot?

It was true that IF he was asked point blank "do you like Kagome?" he would probably reply with, "no, I hate the wench."

Jeeze, talk about denial.

Inuyasha was just the sort of person that would never admit his feelings to someone he liked; he didn't even do that for Kikyo. SHE had been the one to ask HIM out to a movie, which he'd cooly agreed to, because at that time he liked her.

Sango got angry at her thoughts, because she hated Kikyo. Nornally, she could get along with ANY person, no matter what their personality was like.

But...

When she'd first met Kikyo, she'd been cooly ignored and given a cold, mean stare which clearly stated "leave me alone, you loser"
Ever since the first and last day they'd met, she hated the girl with a passion.

Unfortunately, the single, minor situation didn't even begin to describe her hatred for the girl. The following situation did, though.

It was also the way she treated Kagome. Although she only found out a little while ago, Sango and Kagome had both shared their disliking for her.

Kagome told her story of how the first day they'd met, she'd been called a "wannabe clone of Kikyo", only because they looked REMOTELY similar. Not only that, but Kikyo often said mean things to Kagome, even though she didn't deserve it. Kagome didn't know why she was hated so much, but she did her best not to care.

Either way, Kikyo confused the hell out of Kagome to no end. When Kikyo approached her one day, this made her even more confused,

"Keep away from my boyfriend, or you'll pay dearly."

No one else had heard her demand, so at the time, Kagome had nodded weakly. Did she even KNOW Kikyo's boyfriend? Probably not.

The rest of high school had zoomed by uneventfully, and as a side note, Kagome never DID find out who Kikyo's boyfriend was.

Things didn't matter anymore, according to Kagome, who said she'd gotten over it.

"It was a long time ago," she'd said with a forced smile, and then changed the subject.

Shaking her head of the earlier thoughts, she looked over at Miroku, who'd just pulled into their driveway.

"I'm sorry for saying those things about Inuyasha...but I'm just looking out for Kagome, you know? She's...special to me, somehow..." Sango confessed in a sorrowful whisper.

"I know you didn't mean it," he replied easily in acceptance of her apology.

He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss before climbing out of the driver's seat.

"I'm still kinda hungry...wanna 'get' me something?" He asked in a suggestive whisper.

"Pervert," she whispered back as they made their way to the bedroom...

He was in denial; she could feel it. Sesshoumaru LIKED her, or was at least INTERESTED...why else would he pay her so much attention?

When it came to knowing about feelings, Rin was the expert. She was the one that had always told her friends what guys liked them. Rin called it intuition, and a little bit of luck.

Even though she had an easy time in helping out her friends, she found it was harder to do the same for herself. Obviously she could tell when a guy liked her, but she could never really scale and have an idea as to how much.

Overall, Rin was a fairly innocent girl. She'd only had one boyfriend, and it was a huge mistake. It ended so quickly that he hadn't even gotten the opportunity to kiss her. If you asked her, she'd tell you, "I think I hide the innocent-factor farily well," which was the honest truth.

The last thing she wanted was boys knowing about her innocence; then she'd have every available (and probably UNAVAILABLE) guy on her tail, which was exactly what she DIDN'T want.

Lots of girls, like Yura for example, could play the flirting games and have some-what meaningless relationships. Rin couldn't do something like that, because she was searching for L-O-V-E.

Don't get Rin wrong, though; she loves Yura with all her heart...it's just that having one night stands or short flings weren't going to get a stable man and family down the line.

Even though Rin didn't know Sesshoumaru very well, one thing was certain: she definately wanted to get to know him better.

Despite his cold and cynical exterior, Rin had the warm determination of cracking his inner shield made of ice. He was human, and no matter how much he chose to hide it, he had feelings and emotions just like anyone else.

It was just up to her to go digging around for them, and pray she wouldn't delve too deep. Maybe the reason why he was so cold was due to a bitter situation from the past...

No matter, Rin would trek through the mountains of snow and bitter cold to hopefully find the REAL Sesshoumaru that was hidden beneath his frosty image.
