InuYasha woke up to the sun from the window light in his eyes. He groaned when he saw the time. 7:15am. Then he remembered. Kagome…Jewel Osco …almost killed…sleeping in on couch. Curious to see if she was awake, he glanced over to Kagome‘s spot on the lumpy couch.
Kagome was lying down still. InuYasha would have mistaken her for sleeping, except her eyes were open.
“I was wondering when you would get up.” Kagome said simply, sitting up. She attempted to control her flyaway hair, but ended up making it worse.
“Feh! I’ve been up, woman,” InuYasha lied.
“Oh, really?” Kagome met his eyes. “Then how come when I checked to see if you were awake about fifteen minutes ago, you were snoring?”
InuYasha snorted. He grabbed blue jeans and a black muscle shirt from beside the television. Kagome rolled her eyes.
“What?” Inuyasha asked gruffly.
“Nothing, it’s just, do you have to change here?” Kagome wrinkled up her small nose.
Inuyasha smirked devilishly and pulled off his shirt like a model and replaced it with his clean one. He smiled to himself as Kagome squeaked and hid her face. She was innocent. Too innocent.
“Give me your weapon.” He ordered.
Kagome looked up at him innocently. “What weapon?”
“The one you’re about to throw at me.” Kagome sighed and threw her dagger at him, handle first.
“Jerk.”
As trivial as that was, InuYasha now felt his job was done. Her stubbornness reminded him of his mother. Inuyasha’s smile quickly faded at the thought of his mother.
“Whatcha thinkin‘ about?”
“Nothing.” InuYasha replied gruffly.
She shrugged. “Whatever.”
Kagome nodded. “What’s she like?”
“Who?” He asked.
“Your mother.”
Inuyasha’s eyes snapped to hers. “I don’t want to talk about her.”
Kagome crossed her arms over her chest. “Fine.”
An uncomfortable silence grew around them.
Inuyasha took notice that Kagome’s shoes were already on. “Going somewhere?” He asked. Kagome followed his gaze to her shoes. Kagome met his eyes and smirked.
“Actually,” She stood. “-I-” Clicking of metal sounded. “-am!”
In a flash, two silver pistols was pointed at Inuyasha, aimed at his heart and head. Kagome cocked both of the guns with her thumbs. All was silent.
Inuyasha stared at her cold eyes. She swallowed and smiled a sickeningly evil smirk. She moved with to the window, still facing Inuyasha and the guns still aimed to him.
Before Kagome could think, Inuyasha was running towards her with amazing speed. On instinct, she shot, trying to hold herself steady when they kicked back.
Inuyasha swerved out of the path of the bullets just in time, motivating him to run faster towards the assassin who was trying to jump out the window.
Kagome had every part of her body except her left hand out of the third story window. She tried to find a foothold and, in her haste, slid down to the second floor window. She heard Inuyasha curse and looked for a foot or hand-hold.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha raced downstairs and raced towards the door outside. Just before he reached the handle, however, he heard his neighbor, Mrs. Miringo, called his name. He turned quickly and said in his most polite voice, “I’m sorry ma’am, but I’m late for a…date.”
The old woman smiled. “Well, have--” She didn’t get to finish, for Inuyasha had already ran out the door.
Kagome spotted Inuyasha below her and bit her lip. How could she get out quickly? Before she had time to think, her handhold broke and she tumbled to the concrete sidewalk. It was still early in the morning, so everyone was sleeping in their beds at this time.
Inuyasha grabbed her wrist tightly and dragged her to her feet. He tried to keep a strong hold on the struggling girl while he shoved her back to his apartment. Once they were inside and the door was locked, Inuyasha threw her on the ground.
“What the hell were you thinking?” He hissed. Kagome stood.
“Well, if you were taken hostage by nothing more than a hanyou, wouldn’t you try to escape?” She retorted angrily.
“A hanyou? A hanyou!” Inuyasha screamed, grasping her upper arms so tight little droplets of blood were starting to form. Kagome stared back at him unflinching.
Inuyasha threw her to the couch and raised his claws to strike the final blow--
“Inuyasha!” Someone shouted from behind him. Inuyasha turned to see Miroku. “Don’t kill her. Naraku still wants to see her.”
Inuyasha glanced back at Kagome and calmed himself. Kagome was visibly shaking from what she just saw in the man’s eyes. Red. Blood red.
