Chapter 1: Taking In A Stranger

Darkness blanketed the road in front of her, except for where the truck's headlights shone. There were light posts every 5km on both sides of the road. She had just left her mom's house and was now heading home to her small farm.

`I'm so tired,' she thought. `And I have a headache. What time is it?' She looked at the clock with a groan. It was 1:35 am. `I have to wake at 6 to feed the animals,' she thought angrily. The argument she and her mom had had before she left was still fresh on her mind.

She had gone to her mother's to visit her younger brother Souta, who had come back after his first year in a Canadian Collage. They had ate a lovely dinner, talked a bit about what had happened throughout the year, and rented some movies. In the middle of `What A Girl Wants' her mom starts to yell for her to leave. So she told her that she'd leave when she wants to because she won't be able to see Souta for a month since she was sup post to be teaching ridding lessons. So they argued a bit and finally frustrated she finally gave in and left.

She sighed at the memory of it. `Mom must have had a very good reason `cause she usually would never think to ask me to leave my brother till I was good and ready too. So why did she not just tell me?'

She was now 10 minutes from her home when something under the next lamppost caught her eye. The something was slouched and was stumbling. As she got nearer she noticed the something was a person. The person suddenly collapsed right under the lamppost. She pulled over to see if she could help. She gasped at what she saw.

The persons face was bruised, cut, and so bloody that you couldn't tell weather the person was male or female. Its clothes were tattered and torn, stained with dried blood. `Oh my goodness,' she thought. `I must bring her home.'

She assumed it was a woman since she had long hair that was butt length that was silver, at least from what she could see through all the blood. She grunted when she hauled the person upon her shoulder. The person was very heavy. She loaded the person into her car and drove as quickly as she could back home. `So this is why mom wanted me to go home,' she thought. `She had told me once that she sees what will come in the future.'

When they arrived at her house she took the stranger to her spare bedroom and got the first aid kit, a towel, some clean clothes for the stranger to wear once she got the blood off of her, and made some miso soup and Earl Gray tea.

She then went to check on the guest, she was still asleep, so she started to mop off all the dried blood and disinfect the cuts on the persons face. What she found under it all was not what she expected.

"No, I can't believe it," she said in a whisper. She slowly pealed off the person's shirt so she could clean the rest of the person up and then get her into some fresh clothes. Her suspicion was correct. `She' was a `He'. She couldn't believe how muscular his arms and chest were. He had nice strong broad shoulders, a tight stomach with very fine abbes. She felt her face heat up 10 folds when she saw this., but she had to clean his chest, arms, and then legs after she took his pants off.

When his pants were about off she heard a groan escape the young man's swollen lips. Then he slowly opened his eyes and covered them with his arm. He groaned again and in a hoarse voice asked, "Where am I? What happened?" then he noticed some ones warm delicate fingers on his legs. He sat up quickly making himself lightheaded and looked at the now very red faced young woman. "Who are you? And why are you taking my pants off?" he yelled.

He saw her get a really nervous look on her face while trying to answer his questions. "I-I'm Kagome. Um..uh..I was j-just trying to change your clothes and cl-clean your wounds. And y-your at my farm. I saw you collapse while I was driving home so I br-brought you here," she said feeling light she would faint from embarrassment.

He watched with a small smile of amusement, as the woman, Kagome tried to explain. She looked up at his big sunshine golden eyes and for a moment she lost herself in their beautiful depth, then she remembered that she still had her hands on his legs and blushed even harder and then took her hands off him so she could grab the blood stained towel to clean him up more.

"Could you pull your pants down so I can clean the rest of the blood off so you can change into these," she whispered handing him some louse jeans and a black t-shirt. He slowly got up, because he was still in pain, and took his pants off the rest of the way. When he turned back he saw that she had been staring at his tight muscled arse and that she was blushing every shade of red known to man.

He started to chuckle which brought her back to Earth and she turned her head away in embarrassment. He took the wet towel from her hand and started to clean his legs so as not to embarrass her more.

Hi finished cleaning himself and was about to change when she asked, "What's your name. You know mine but I don't know yours."

"Mine is Inuyasha. I would like to thank you for helping me." She then heard a grumble from Inuyasha's stomach and she giggled.

"Sorry I forgot to ask if you were hungry. I made some miso soup and Earl Gray tea so they'll be easy for you to eat. So would you like some?" she asked.

He laughed but stopped quickly `cause it hurt and said, "Yes that would be nice. So do you live here by yourself or do you have someone special?"

Kagome blushed and whispered an embarrassed, " No. I live by myself and I don't have anyone. Why, are you interested?"

"No way. Why would I want someone as ugly as you? You're nothing special," he said in a surprised/shocked voice.

Kagome was so shocked that it took a while for what he said to sink in and when it finally did Inuyasha saw `Death' himself reflecting from her scrum shish chocolate brown eyes. He knew that if looks could kill he would of died affinity plus one times for each second he was looking into their beautiful angry depth. He backed away as far as the bed would let him go and he started to whimper from fear and pain from when he had moved. Just when he thought she was about to yell, she leaned forward with an awed expression.

Kagome had noticed something flatten on top of his head and wanted to see what it was. So she leaned forward and what she saw was the cutes triangle dog-ears she had ever seen. So cute that even dogs would be jealous of them. From what she could see through the blood they were silver like his hair and pink inside.

`Awwww. Their sooooo adorable. I just want to rub them,' she thought. So she stretched her right hand out and rubbed his left ear.

Inuyasha hadn't expected this and growled a dog like purr. When he heard some giggling he snapped out of it and yelled, "What are you giggling at?"

Trying to talk through her giggle fit she got out, " That *laughing now* was soooo *snorts* cute. You *falls on back rolling around holding her stomach* were *coughing and laughing at same time* purring like *gasps from breath* a cat." She then broke down into hysterical laughter again.

"I do not purr. And stop that laughing it's hurting my sensitive ears," ha angrily growled at Kagome, covering his aching ears with his hands.

She quickly stopped and purred, "I'm so sorry. Did I hurt those beautiful ears you have? But you should of heard yourself purring like a content kitty-cat." She smiled watching him turn red with embarrassment and anger.

`He is so handsome with that expression on his face even though I can't see that well over the bruises,' she thought looking at his face. Then, right before her eyes she sees the cuts slowly start to heal and disappear.

She stared, mouth agape, as his face was slowly, little by little, showing through. He had black arched eyebrows, nice tanned skin, and `begging-to-be-kissed' lips. When he saw Kagome looking at his lips he smirked and she noticed that he had dog sized canine teeth. Blushing she looked down at his hands and noticed he had perfectly razor sharp nails that looked like claws.

Then everything clicked. She gasped. "You're a demon," she whispered.

"So you finally noticed. I'm actually a half-demon. My dad was a demon but my mom was a human," Inuyasha said.

"Where are they now, your mom and dad?"

"They're dead."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

"It's alright. It happened when I was 5."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 23. And how about you? Where's your family?"

"My mom is alive as well as my brother but my dad died when I was 4. I'm 22 now. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"I don't want to talk about it. What exactly is this place?"

"It's a horse ranch but I also have cows and chickens. Why don't you get some sleep? I have to wake early to look after the animals and get ready to teach some kids horseback ridding. Well goodnight. Oh if you need to go to the bathroom it's over there." Kagome pointed across from the bed to an open door. "Well sleep tight. I'll make some eggs in the morning for you to have and I'll bring your dinner in a moment."

Walking across the room tot eh door that leads to the hall Kagome turned off the light and closed that door.

If you looked in the darkness of the room, all you could have seen was a pair of golden eyes, shining with lust in them.

A/N: so what did you think? I hoped you all liked. I'll try to do the lemon for DYLM? As soon as possible but lots of things are happening in my life right now so I promise nothing.
