Kagome awoke a short time later to the sound of someone knocking at the door. She sighed and looked over at her mate sleeping beside her. She smiled and gently brushed some hair away from his face before getting up and putting back on her cloths. She turned and looked at Inu yasha's sleeping form once more before heading down stairs to answer the door.

@>~~~^~~~~

Kagome opened the front door and was immediately pushed aside by Yuki as she made her way into the house. "Oh man!" Yuki shook some of the water off her hair. "It's raining cats and dogs out there!"

Houjou laughed as he made a more graceful entrance into the house, this time at Kagome's request. "Yeah. It's awful!"

Kagome laughed. "I know what you mean!"

Yuki turned to her friend as she hung her coat on the rack by the door. "So what happened to you guys?! You never came back to the restaurant!"

Kagome put a finger up to her lips in a signal for Yuki to keep her voice down and motioned for the pair to follow her into the kitchen. After they were settled at the dinner table, Kagome shut the door between the kitchen and living room and took a seat. "Sorry. I don't want you to wake Inu yasha." She giggled. "He's a light sleeper."

Yuki raised an eyebrow at her friend, "He's here?"

"Yeah well after I went out to find him we got totally soaked! That's why we didn't come back. His cloths are in the washer now." Yuki and Houjou looked at Kagome like she sprouted an extra head. "What??"

Yuki blushed, "How can you be ok with a naked guy in your house?!"

Kagome blinked. "Naked?" She laughed. "Oh goodness no! I gave him some sweat pants that were my dad's!"

Yuki sighed in relief, "Oh good!"

"Anyway.. Here you go Higarashi!" Houjou placed a bag on the table containing the two dinners that had been hers and Inu yasha's.

"OH! You guys didn't have to do that!" Kagome smiled. "Hold on a moment." She walked over and grabbed her purse off the counter and began digging through it.

"It was no trouble." Houjou smiled. "As long as it was for you."

Kagome blushed. She pulled out a twenty and handed it to Houjou. "This should be enough right?"

He waved the money away. "Call it my treat! We were on a date anyway remember?"

"Like hell she was on a date with you."

The three looked over at the doorway now occupied by Inu yasha. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "She went there with me and you just *happened* to be there."

Houjou laughed. "How ever you want to view it." He turned his attention back to Kagome, "Either way keep your money and spend it on something nice for yourself."

Kagome frowned. "No that's ok I think you should take it." She laid the twenty on the table in front of him.

Houjou picked it up with a shrug and placed it in his pocket. "Ok.."

Inu yasha walked over and kissed Kagome's cheek softly then looked over to Houjou with a smirk. "So what are you guys doing here?"

Yuki shook her head to break free of Inu yasha's well toned muscles and cleared her throat. "Oh, well you guys left so suddenly without even a good bye we wanted to make sure you were ok!"

Inu yasha stood behind Kagome and wrapped his arms around her waist. He gently placed his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. "Well we're fine. So.."

"Oh my god!" Yuki leaped up and pushed Inu yasha away from Kagome. "What happened to your shoulder!?!"

Inu yasha rubbed his head as he stood back up. "What's the big idea?!"

Kagome tilted her head and looked at the spot Yuki was now examining. "Oh that!" Kagome blushed. "It's nothing.."

"Nothing?!" Yuki looked over the now slightly bruised bite mark on Kagome's shoulder. "It looks like someone bit you!"

Kagome blushed and Yuki's eyes went wide. She turned and pointed a finger at Inu yasha. "You bit her?!"

Houjou walked over and looked at Kagome's shoulder. "Does it hurt?" He lightly poked the bruise forming around the small bite wound.

Kagome stepped back and placed a hand over her 'mark'. "It's fine. Maybe you guys-"

"I can't believe you bit her!!" Yuki fumed and turned to Kagome, "I told you he'd abuse you!!" She grabbed her friend's hand and started dragging her towards the door. "That's it! We're leaving and you are coming with us!"

Inu yasha was in Yuki's path before she could make it to the door. He growled and flexed a clawed hand. "You aren't taking Kagome anywhere..."

Houjou stepped between a stunned Yuki and Inu yasha. "Don't threaten her."

Inu yasha's growl grew louder. "You aren't taking my mate anywhere!"

"That's enough!" Kagome pulled her hand away from Yuki and moved so she was positioned between them and Inu yasha. She pulled Inu yasha behind her as if to protect him. "He didn't do anything wrong ok? We just got a little rough when we were..." Kagome blushed. "Well either way, that's none of your business but needless to say..."

"Oh my god.." Houjou's eyes went wide.

Yuki shook her head, "You didn't did you?? You didn't.." Yuki swallowed. "You didn't.. you know.. with him?!"

"Like she said," Inu yasha smirked, allowing Yuki and Houjou to glimpse one of his fangs. "It's none of your business! And now," Inu yasha walked over and opened the front door. "I think it's time both of you left."

"We aren't leaving without Higarashi!" Houjou protested.

"We can't leave her here with a bully like you!" Yuki grabbed Kagome and threw her behind her into Houjou. "Who knows what you'll *force* her to do next!"

"What?! Let me go!" Kagome squirmed to get free of Houjou's grasp.

It was all so fast no one really saw what happened. One moment he was holding Kagome then next, Inu yasha was holding him three feet from the floor by the neck. "Don't. touch. her."

Yuki gasped, "Houjou!" She hands balled up into fist and she pounded on Inu yasha's back. "Put him down you.. you .. DEMON!"

Kagome froze. Had she figured it out? She shook her shock away. That didn't matter right now. She reached out and touched Inu yasha's arm gently, "Inu yasha.. please put him down."

Inu yasha looked from the boy turning blue in his hand to the woman at his side. His eye flashed from red back to gold and he let out a irritated growl. His hand released Houjou and he came crashing down to the floor.

Yuki ran to the boys side. "Are you ok?!"

Houjou coughed and choked but nodded that he was ok. "What-What are you?!" he whispered in a horse tone.

Inu yasha turned with a huff and pointed towards the door again. "Out!"

Yuki looked from Inu yasha to Kagome. "Kagome?"

"I think you should leave. I'll talk to you tomorrow ok?" Kagome gently touched her friend's shoulder and smiled. "I'll be fine."

Yuki nodded and helped Houjou to his feet. She glared at the hanyou as she walked out the door. "I won't forget this.."

"Good.. then maybe next time you won't try to take my mate." Inu yasha let the door slam behind them then turned to Kagome.

Kagome pinched the bridge of her nose, a headache taking up sudden residence behind her eyes. "Inu yasha that was... The worse possible way to handle that!"

He jumped back. "Why are yelling at me?! They're the ones that tried to kidnap you!! And the Houjou guy was so cocky at dinner that he could take you away from me! Go yell at them!" He turned and folded his arms. "I was just protecting you so I didn't do anything wrong!"

Kagome sighed. "Inu yasha they weren't really trying to kidnap me... They were just worried! If we had just talked it out they could have left without so many bruises!"

Inu yasha let out a 'Keh' and headed up stairs, "Whatever! I'm going back to sleep!"

She hear him stomp up the stairs, down the hall then slam the door to the bedroom she could only assume was hers. She let out a long aggravated sigh. "It's gonna be a looooonnggg day.."

@>~~~^~~~~

Kagome sat on the couch looking up at the ceiling for what must have been an hour. Inu yasha had been right.. For him, what he had done was what came naturally. To *him* it had been right and she had shot him down for it instead of just simply talking it over with him. It was hard for her sometimes to remember that the ideals of today weren't the same as yesterday...

With a deep sigh, Kagome stood up and headed up to her room. Slowly and quietly she opened the door and peeked in. Inu yasha seemed to be asleep with his back towards her, facing the wall. She entered quietly and shut the door behind her.

Kagome sat gently on the edge of the bed and put a gentle hand on Inu yasha's shoulder. "Inu yasha?" she whispered softly. He shrugged her hand away and she knew he was awake. She sighed sadly. "Inu yasha.. I'm sorry."

There was a long silence. "For?" he asked a bit more gruff then he had meant to.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you. You're right.. You were just trying to protect me like a good mate." Kagome reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder again. This time he didn't shrug it off. "It's just that..." She sighed again. How to explain the inner workings of the modern world to a feudal hanyou..?

"You see.. in my time Inu yasha what you did to Houjou could get you in a lot of trouble.. Trouble that I couldn't get you out of."

Inu yasha turn to lay on his back. He looked up at Kagome with an eyebrow raised in confusion. "If that's all you were worried about you shouldn't be! I can fight me way-"

"That's just it!" Kagome interrupted. "This trouble could really hurt you if you tried to fight back. In my time we have these people called the police and if Houjou or Yuki call them they will come and..." Kagome wiped the tears from her face. "If they caught you Inu yasha they'd lock you in a jail or because you're not human it might be... worse."

The tears rolled faster now down Kagome's cheeks and Inu yasha frowned. He hated it when she cried.

In a quick motion he gathered the small girl into his arms and brought her down to lay on top of him. "Kagome.." His hands rubbed her back softly to soothe her sobs. "Kagome I'm sorry too.. I forget that I can't do thing here the same way as I can when we're home." He sighed and pushed Kagome up until she looked into his eyes. "Forgive me?"

Kagome nodded and quickly retook her spot snuggled against his chest. After a bit her sobs subsided and Kagome let out a long ragged sigh. "I still don't know what I'm going to do about Houjou and Yuki.. I have to tell them something."

Inu yasha played with Kagome's long black hair, watching it twirl around his clawed fingers and then fall like a blanket over his mate's back. "Why not," he said after a long minute, "Tell them the truth?"

Kagome looked up at Inu yasha in shock. "Are you sure?? I'm not sure how-"

Inu yasha kissed her lips gently to stop her mid sentence. "I'm sure.. It would be the best way to straighten everything out." He cupped her cheek gently in his hand. "Will you trust me on this?"

Kagome smiled at him and nodded. She closed her eyes and nuzzled against the warmth of his open palm. "I trust you Inu yasha... with my life.."
