There was a knock on he door just as Kagome got out of the shower and wrapped herself in the large fluffy white towel. She smoothed her hair back feverously as she walked to the door. Looking down to make sure she was covered, she opened the door.

“Um…here, their the smallest things in my closet.” Inuyasha said as he was trying not to ogle Kagome, standing there in nothing but a towel and her hair dripping down her back and over her shoulders. He cleared his throat nervously.

Kagome looking up at him through her dripping bangs and asked in a small meek voice “Do you have a spare toothbrush? I can still taste him in my mouth.” when she ended she was near tears again, but blinked them back, not wanting Inuyasha to see her cry again.

Understanding, Inuyasha bent down to look under the sink for a spare. When he was down there, he didn’t find one, but got a good look at one of Kagome’s legs. She crossed one over the other, causing it to peek out of the towel innocently. She was exuding innocent seduction without knowing. He straightened with his cheeks slightly pink.

“Let me look in the cabinet. Excuse me.” he said as he moved over to where Kagome was. She moved back up against the wall to give him room. There he found an unopened toothbrush, never been used. Perfect.

“Here you go.” he said as he handed it to her.

“Thanks. Where’s the toothpaste?” she asked as she walked over to the sink. He pulled that out for her as well.

“I’ll let you change and you can come on out when you’re done. Are you hungry at all or anything? I could make you something.”

“Maybe later. I don’t feel like eating just yet, but thanks for asking.” after saying “alright” he left her to change.

When Inuyasha left, Kagome turned to look at herself in the mirror for the first time. She gasped loudly at what she saw. The right side of her face was swollen and red, and her lips were cut and looked like they would start bleeding at any moment. She looked like she was one of those abused girlfriends that you see from cheesy made for T.V. movie. How could she face Inuyasha while she looked like this? She could feel the tears coming back. ‘Look at me. I’m hideous. How can he look at me?’ she thought to herself.

………………………………............................................................ ....................................

Half an hour later she still had not come out of the bathroom and Inuyasha was starting to get worried. He walked down the hallway and stopped in front of the door. He paused there to see what he could hear from inside before he knocked. He didn’t hear anything so he gave an experimental tap on the door. He got no answer. So, he knocked again, louder this time.

Still nothing. Now he was really worried. He turned the knob and was surprised to find it unlocked, but opened it slowly anyways.

What he saw nearly broke his heart. Kagome was curled up on the ground near the bathtub, asleep. She looked so small and frail. She looked like a small child playing dress-up in his clothes, he hadn’t ever really thought he was that much bigger then she was but seeing her look so tiny in his shirt made him feel like she needed protecting. And he would, whether she knew it or not. But he couldn’t help but wonder why she hadn’t come out.

Deciding that the ground was no place for her to sleep, he scooped her up into his arms and moved her to his bedroom and laid her down on his bed. Pulling his arms out from underneath her, she stirred and woke shortly there after. She blinked sleepily up at him, not fully awake yet. But, once her sleep-fogged mind cleared, she got wide-eyed and pulled the blanket over her head. Inuyasha just stared, not knowing what to do. What was wrong with her?

“Go away, please. I can go home now if you’d like” her voice was muffled due to the covers.

“Kagome? What’s wrong?” he asked her, concerned.

“Please. I don’t want you to see me. I look so ugly.” she started to sniffle. “I don’t want you look at me like this.”

“Kagome.” he sighed “I don’t care how you look. I still think your beautiful, no matter what.” he tried pulling the blanket back to look at her, but she held it tightly. “Please Kagome. You are the most beautiful person I have ever known in my life, and if you think that a cut lip and red cheek is going to make me think your ugly, then you must not think much of me.” he told her in a serious voice, hoping that would get her out.

And it did. She shot out from her hiding place to look at him with large doe-like eyes. “I don’t think … it’s not you …. It’s just …” she stumbled over her words, trying to tell him it was her and not him but not being able to form a coherent sentence.

“Clam down Kagome. I was just trying to get you to come out and talk to me.” he gave her a slightly cocky smirk.

She did a good impression of a fish, opening and closing her mouth a few times. She was at a lose for words. ‘Did he really mean it when he said I was beautiful or was it all just to get me out?’ she wondered to herself.

“But I feel so ugly and dirty right now. How can you just pretend you don’t see it?” she looked down and started fiddling with his red sheets.

He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. “Kagome, you are kind, your smart, you make me laugh, and to be quite honest, you are the most strikingly beautiful girl … woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.” Kagome looked at him with glassy eyes. She started to tear up again, but for an entirely different reason this time.

“Oh Inuyasha. Do you really mean that?” she asked, feeling hope bloom in her chest

“Yes. Kagome, I really like you.”

“I really like you, too Inuyasha.” she said with a smile. With her sadness gone, she now got a little nervous. Her cut lips were suddenly very dry and she wet them with her tongue. When she did that, Inuyasha nearly groaned. It didn’t help any that she looked down to his mouth and licked them again.

Just one kiss. Look, mate wants it. his demon half whispered in his mind.

Kagome was finding it hard to breath. Her breathes were deep and shallow, trying to calm her racing heart. She couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to have him kiss her. She never knew someone could want something so badly and yet, be sort of afraid of it at the same time.

She bit her lower lip, which was not the best idea because it re-opened her cut and started bleeding again the an “Ow” from her. That snapped Inuyasha out of his trancelike state. It’s a good thing it did because he wanted to tell her ‘what’ he was before he did anything with her. So if she didn’t accept him, then she would have done nothing that she would end up regretting.

“Kagome? I think we should call your mom and let her know what’s going on. And in the morning, we should go down to the police station to file a report.”

“That sounds good.” she took the phone and call her mother. After telling her mom what happened and trying to calm her down over the phone, Kagome told her that she didn’t want to go back outside tonight and Inuyasha offered to let her stay the night. Once that was settled, he grabbed a blanket and a pillow and arranged them on the ground.

“No. This is your bed. I’ll take the floor.” Kagome sad, feeling bad bout kicking him out of his own bed.

“Now what kind of man would I be if I let a lady sleep on the floor?” his charm made her blush prettily.

“Well, I don’t feel right making you sleep on the ground. Please?” she begged

“No.” he told he simply

“ Well then, how about this…we could share the bed? That way we both win.” she said with her blush still in place. She shocked herself at her own boldness.

“If you’re ok with it, then I guess I don’t mind sharing.” he smiled at her and got into bed next to her .”
