Kagome stiffled a giggle as she watched Inu yasha. He was so bored he was climbing the walls.

Literally.

She watched as he carefully moved a chair into position just in front of the door and climbed onto it. His eyes easily found the small intruder in the room who's contant buzzing was driving the poor hanyou to the brink of insanity. Slowly, his hands came up then without warning he struck. His hands came up, covering the spot where the fly had rested. He cupped his hands together over the tiny pest and pulled them back to his ear. He listened for a moment then cursed, dropping his hands to his side.

"Damn! Is this even a fly?!" he cursed, climbing off the chair and searching again for his target. "Maybe its a fly youkai!"

Kagome's hand covered her mouth to hold in the laughter that threatened to spill forth. He'd been like this for the last four days. Since she'd been in the hospital he hadn't left her side, save for the times her mother would come into see her. Her mother had forgiven the boy almost the same day they had fought but Inu yasha was still solemn around her, never looking directly at her. Mrs. Higurashi had asked Kagome if Inu yasha was mad at her but the girl had shaken her head. No, he wasn't mad just disappointed in himself for letting her down. He'd get over it but it was gonna take a while.

Kagome watched from the bed as Inu yasha reposition the chair again and readied his strike. She smiled at him lovingly as he went about his boredom relieving task and shook her head.

Kagome's eyes drifted away from her mate and towards the window where she could see the rain falling gently against the window. She too, like her mate, really missed being outside. Surprisingly, she had not taken all that long to heal from her injuries. She figured it was the slight amount of youkai blood in the baby that made this possible. It had cut her healing time in more then half and for that she was grateful. Instead of 2 weeks or more in this drab hosiptal room they were talking about releasing her that day. Only 4 days in the hospital and she'd be going home.

Now if only she could keep Inu yasha entertained until then.

"Inu yasha?" she smirked to herself.

The hanyou turned from his prey and in a graceful leap, landed next to the bed. "What's up koisii?"

She smiled brightly at him, "Would you mind going to the cafateria and getting me a little something to eat?"

Inu yasha frowned. "And leave you here all alone??"

Kagome waved her hand, "Oh don't worry so much! What can happen in a hospital?! Beside, mama should be here soon."

At the thought of her mother coming Inu yasha cringed. Not that he didn't like the older woman but... "Ok." he stood and walked towards the door. "Any requests?"

Kagome put a finger to her chin in contumplation. "Umm.. How about some kind of fruit? Fresh if they have it?"

Inu yasha nodded before leaving the room leaving Kagome for the first time in almost a week alone to her thoughts. She sighed and slumped back on the bed. Just then a knock brought her attention back to the door.

"Come in mama!"

Kagome sat up quickly as a man's laugh echoed in her room. "Sorry Higurashi." Houjou moved into the room and stood next to Kagome's bed. "Were you expecting someone else?"

Kagome let out a aggitated sigh. "Hai, I was."

Houjou's oblivious smile remained plastered across his face as he looked for the seat next to the bed. His features became suddenly puzzled. "Umm.. Higurashi?"

"Over there," she pointed to where Inu yasha had left the chair against the far wall.

Houjou nodded and retrieved the chair, replacing it next to the bed. "You know, you really shouldn't be redecorating when your hurt."

Kagome smacked her forehead. 'Baka..' She sighed. "No I shouldn't. That's why Inu yasha was the one on the chair. He was trying to catch a fly."

Houjou frowned. "Inu yasha's here?"

Kagome nodded. "Of course. He's worried about me."

"I dunno if I like the idea of him staying with you alone." Houjou's hand came up and rubbed his chin as if in thought. A phisad I assure you. "I mean, what if he tries something funny?"

Kagome literally bit her tounge. She took a deep breath before continuing. "He's not going to try 'anything' while I'm sick. Besides, we are mates."

Houjou shook his head. "Dear innocent Higurashi.. Oblivious to the ways of youkai."

She felt that irragting twitch building at the corner of her eye. "Why you arrogant-"

"Don't worry Higurashi," he cut her off. He took her hand in his and moved towards her slowly. "I'll protect you."

Kagome back away a bit but not enough to provent his lips from making contact with her. She almost gagged as she pushed him back. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"Kissing you?"

A growl escaped her lips. "I think you better leave."

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha followed his nose down the stairs to the second floor cafiteria. Pulling his baseball cap on tightly, he pushed open the large swinging doors and entered the noisy room. He looked left and right finally spotting the long line for food near the back of the cafiteria and headed straight for it.

He didn't bother to pick up a tray seeing as all Kagome had asked for was some fruit, instead opting to just carry it back to the room in the large sleeves of his haori.

A hand reached out and touched his arm causing Inu yasha jumped. He whirling around, claws extended for battle but relaxed when his eyes met with his so called 'attacker'. He growled in annoyance and turned back to his task.

"What do you want Yuki?" he asked coldly.

Yuki frown inwardly but her face remained cheerful as she greeted the hanyou. "And Ohiyo to you too Inu yasha. What are you doing down here?"

Inu yasha picked up an apple and examined it closely. "Nothing."

"How's Kagome feeling?"

Inu yasha shrugged. Settling on an apple he moved on to the oranges and began picking through the cafiteria's selection. "She's fine."

Yuki nodded and an uncomfortable silence fell between the two as the moved through the line. Inu yasha finally finished picking out the fruits he felt Kagome would enjoy most and head for the checkout.

Yuki giggled. "I didn't know inu youkai were such hardcore vegetrians."

Inu yasha growled in annoyance. "It's not for me baka."

"Ah. Then who's it for?"

Inu yasha blushed as he handed over his money to the cashier and collected his fruit. He headed towards the door, choosing to ignor Yuki's question.

Yuki smirked and followed the embaressed hanyou as he made his way into the hall. She moved to his side and took hold of his arm as if to let him lead her through the hall. "So?"

Inu yasha pulled away, growling lightly. "So what?"

"Who's the fruit for?"

"Not that it's any of your damn business but it's for Kagome."

Yuki frowned. "You do know that Kagome doesn't love you."

Inu yasha froze.

"I bet she's just too nice to tell you the truth." she smirked as she dug her claws into fresh wound she had created. "I bet she's up stairs with Houjou right now. He's a real man and not some worthless.." she made a face of discust that somehow leaked into her voice, "Some worthless piece of crap who can't protect her."

"Is that all you have to say?" he asked coldly.

Yuki only nodded, a bit surprised by the cold, uncaring nature of his voice.

A long moment passed before Inu yasha broke the silence with a loud 'keh'. "What do you know any way." He pushed open the door to the stairs and headed back to Kagome's room.

'I know I don't deserve her,' he thought as he slowly climbed the 5 flights of stairs to his mates room. 'I prepare myself everyday for the words I dread and wait for them to come. But for some reason she never says them.' He let out a loud sigh as he pushed open the door that lead to the seventh floor and headed down the hall.

'She loves me and I don't know why and I know that I couldn't live without her. So I guess I'll just go on living as I am with her, happy for the moment but always waiting.' He laughed at himself as he stared at the door marked 'Higurashi' and shook his head.

"I'm such a fool."

@>~~~^~~~~

Houjou looked at Kagome in bewilderment, his head tilting to one side in an almost child like pose. "Why would I leave? You're my girlfriend and I should stay here in case you need anything."

Kagome fumed. Her hands tightened into fist, holding tightly to the sheets. In the sudden silence of the room one could almost hear her teeth grind together in an absolute frustration. "Houjou..." she managed between clenched teeth, "If you don't leave now you'll be glad you're in a hospital."

Houjou blinked back a look of shock. "What's wrong Higurashi?" His hand rested over hers as he looked to her, totally oblivious as usual. "Are you feeling ill? Shall I call-"

"Iie!" she yelled, effectively cutting him off. "I want you *gone*! I'm not your girlfriend. Hell, after the last stunt you pulled at the hot spring I'm not even your friend!" She turned flame filled eyes to the boy making him pull back in fright. "Leave!"

"What's wrong with you?" he asked softly, his head dropping in saddness from her harsh words. Suddenly his head shot back up, his own features taking on a look of anger and rage. His hand flew out and in a moment made contact with the young woman's cheek. "Snap out of it!" he cried.

Kagome looked down and off to the right to the point on the floor where her gaze had been forced by Houjou's hand. Her tounge flickered over her lower lip, tasting the tiny drops of blood that escaped it. She turned back slowly, her head still hanging low as a soft giggle slowly turned to laughter and escaped her.

Houjou looked at the girl as if she'd lost her mind and backed away slowly. "Higurashi?"

"You shouldn't have done that."

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha's hand slowly reached out and took hold of the door knob. From under his hat his ears flickered as a sound caught their attention.

Flesh against flesh.

The slight and tangy smell of blood reached his nostrials and he couldn't surpress the growl that cascaded over his lips.

That was the smell of Kagome's blood.

The fruit for his mate momentarily forgotten, fell to the floor as the hanyou threw the door open and stepped in. His eyes serveyed the room quickly as the joints of his hands cracked and popped, readying for battle. His eyes saught out his mate, finding her where he had left her, laying on the bed in the center of the room though, but not as he had left her. A small bruise had begun to form on her cheek and from her lip a small amount of blood trickled down her chin.

In an easy leap, Inu yasha was at her side. His clawed hand moved up to gently caress her injuried cheek, examining it carefully. Satisfied it wasn't too bad, his gaze moved over to the blood trickling over her chin. He leaned forward, sniffing it gently, growling when he confirmed it was hers. Using his sleeve, he gently wiped away the excess blood from her chin and his tounge flickered over the small gash in her lip.

Kagome whimpered slightly as the soreness of his tounge against her fresh wound but she did not pull away. A growl, awakened by her whimper, escaped her mates lips. He leaned back slightly to meet her gaze, soft golden eyes asking her for reassurance and explanation.

Instinctually, Kagome answered her mate's wordless question with a soft growl, almost purr, of consolment. His first question answered her gaze moved past his shoulder to fall on the answer to his second inquiry.

Turning to follow his mate's gaze, his eyes fell upon the young man quievering in the corner of the room.

@>~~~^~~~~

Houjou stood in a fearful awe as he watched the pair before him in a completely wordless conversation. Or at least what he assumed was a conversation. The silent 'language' of looks and caresses, intermixed with gentle growls and purrs intreged and confused the young human boy who had never before seem such an act. He stared on as first Inu yasha 'spoke' then Kagome, to his surprise, 'replied', staying quiet until he realized the conversation had verved off towards him.

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha's fiery gaze fell on the boy huddled in the corner, his lips curling in a snarl as he growled low and deep. Subconciously, Houjou knew words were lost on the inu hanyou at this point but for some reason he felt he had to try.

"I-I-" he stuttered, sliding along the wall to the door, "She was talking crazy! Really! I was only trying to make her calm down!"

The re-allining of knuckles and the popping of joints squelched his ramblings. He swallowed hard, pleading eyes looking from the hanyou stalking towards him to the girl laying on the bed.

He swallowed hard and made one last attempt at communtication. "Hi-Higurashi?"

Kagome growled, cursing under her breath. As much as she wanted to see Inu yasha beat the hell out of the whimpering boy she also knew the problems it would cause when they had to hide the body..

"Inu yasha."

Inu yasha's attention turned back to the bed, a questioning look on his handsome feature. Kagome shook her head and motioned for him to move back to her side. His eyes flipped back and forth between his mate and his intended prey, finally coming to rest on his mate. He growled to her but she only growled back louder.

"Inu yasha." she growled.

With a growl of irratation, he moved back over to his mate's side, keeping his back to the pertified Houjou.

Kagome's hand reached up and softly caressed Inu yasha's ears in an attempt to passive the aggitated male. Her eyes fixed on Houjou's as a light smirk caressed her lips. "If you value your life I suggest you leave quickly."

Without even a sound, the boy was gone.

"Why didn't you just let me kill him?"

Kagome smiled softly and kissed his cheek. "Because koshii, where would we have put the body?"

"Down the hall third door on the right."

Kagome raised an eyebrow in both amusment and confusion. "Nani?"

Inu yasha smirked. "Well that's where the smell of those other dead bodies are coming from so why not put him there?"

Kagome laughed. "Because they actually keep track of the bodies in there."

Inu yasha pouted. "Boy, your time really is no fun."
