(Still don’t own. I think I completely butchered Inuyasha’s dad’s name… if so sorry!)
Kagome was walking to her room with a towel wrapped around her when Sango caught her. “Hey girl.” Sango said giving her sister a hug. Kagome smiled widely, “did the jerk eat and did Monk Miroku take the clothing down to him?” Sango shrugged, “Not really sure about the eating and yes he did. The hanyou’s asking for you.” Kagome’s eyebrows shot up, before narrowing in suspicion, “for me? Why?” Sango shrugged again, “said you make him feel better and he felt bad for commenting about your boobs.” Kagome’s cheeks turned pink and she looked surprised, “really? Okay.” She went into her room, emerging shortly in a pair of sweat pants, and a sweat shirt. She looked like a college kid not a prisoner terrified of her own shadow. The irony of the thought was, they would be college students had it not been for this situation.
InuYasha inhaled deeply, closing his eyes to savor the scent of Kagome as she came down the stairs. “Hanyou?” She whispered, thinking he was asleep. He opened his eyes and grinned at her. She looks adorable in the sweats…Wait what the hell? Get a grip on it Inuyasha. The smile he wore slid off and he nodded at her. “It’s Inuyasha.” She sat on her knees a few feet in front of him. “Sango said you wanted to see me?” He nodded, “I did.” She waited for him to elaborate and sighed quietly when he didn’t. “I’m glad Monk Miroku brought your cloths. It gets chilly down here.” She said, trying to make small talk with the inu-hanyou. “I know.” She put her hands on her knees and sighed again, getting ready to stand. “I’m sorry.” He growled. Her surprised eyes shot up and met his. “I want to know why the comment made you so angry.” He crossed his arms and glared at her. His steady gaze peeling away her security walls, leaving her feeling vulnerable, something she wasn’t accustomed to. He had seen pain and hurt and wouldn’t judge her, this helped ease her discomfort. She scooted a little closer and the hanyou rejoiced inside, refusing to show it. “I… I…” She bit her lip and he growled, to cute. The thought making him angry that such a weak human could win him over that fast… How long has he spent alone because he refused to trust such creatures? “He wanted her virginity… Something about a rumor of a pure hearted virgin would give him unlimited power.”
Sango’s words played through his head. Is that why I trust her so easy? She’s so pure? He shrugged the thought off and stared at her redden face.
“Um… could you maybe stop looking at me like you are going to rip me in half…” He gave her a look that clearly said it wasn’t happening and she sighed, not only does it feel like you’re going to rip me half, it feels like you are trying to undress me with your eyes… She thought with a nervous smile. “Okay Inuyasha,” she sighed once more and seemed to age five years right in front of him as she gathered her thoughts. He wanted to hold her… Badly… this scared him. What the hell am I getting myself into with this girl? Hell can’t be much worse then what I’ve gotten myself into at the moment. He chuckled at his own thoughts and the girl shot him a glare. “Look, I’m trying to get my thoughts in order, could you maybe save the laughter ‘till afterwards.” He tilted his head; why would he laugh if she told him what Sango had already relayed. “Something tells me it’s not going to be funny.” He growled. She shook her head, “to a demon it may be though.”
“I’m not full demon. Pain and torture don’t get me off.” Her face lit up in a blush at his choice of wording. Her gaze hardened, “what exactly did Sango tell you?” The hanyou jumped, but not enough the girl could see, his hands clutching his arms a little tighter as they began to sweat. “That you have seen a lot of pain and suffering. She wouldn’t go into detail.” He shut his eyes as he said this quickly. He felt her gaze a few seconds more before she finally sighed, “Master Naraku killed my Dad.” He blinked and stared at her, waiting for her to elaborate, which of course, she didn’t. She simply stared at him, her eyes daring him to question her statement if he wanted to suffer her wrath. He took the bait, “why? What had your Dad done to Naraku?” She looked away and sighed, “look, I don’t even know you.” Hello nervous tick. He thought as she started a second sentence with ‘look’ and a blush. He sighed heavily, “my name is Inuyasha.” She looked at him all but saying, ‘duh’ and he rolled his eyes before continuing. “My dad was a dog demon and my mom was…” He met her gaze and felt his own cheeks heat, “human.” Kagome nodded for him to continue but didn’t laugh or scoff. He felt his heart jump to his throat. She’s not going to mock me? He smiled at her and she gasped, it made him look quite handsome. A blush once more found her cheeks and she looked at her lap thinking, what am I? A silly teenager! Come one Kagome, stop blushing every time he looks at you! “I have an older half-brother named Sesshomaru…” She gasped and scooted so close their knees were touching, making him lose his train of thought. How weird… He thought looking up to meet her eyes. “Will he come save you?” She whispered, leaning in closer so he could hear, not realizing he could hear her whisper if she was standing at the top of the staircase. “No, we don’t get along.” Disappointed turned her eyes black, her crushed excitement obvious; he instantly wanted to take the words back. She sat back and he missed her warmth. He closed his eyes, concentrating on what to say. “Like I said, mom was a human. No one in our village accepted us because of my old man’s status and my half-blood stature.”
“Your dad was a full inu-youkai right?” Inuyasha nodded and opened his eyes. “Was it Inu-Tashio, the Great Inu-youkai General?” Inuyasha scoffed and looked away, “the one and only. Let’s not talk about that.” Kagome looked sheepishly down at her hands and nodded, “kay.” He sat his head back against the wall and stared at the ceiling, why does it feel so nice to talk to someone like this? I mean I had Kikyo but I could never open up to her like this. How the hell does Kagome make it so easy? He was about to express part of his thoughts out loud when Kagome spoke softly. “My mom lives in Tokyo. Sango is my adopted sister. We were best friends growing up and then her mother and father were killed by youkai’s near our town. We took her and her brother, Kohaku in.” She glanced up from her lap at her captive audience and lowered her gaze again. “I was visiting my dad for the summer and Master Naraku captured us as, Sango, my father, and I, as we were all walking home from the park. He said he had been searching for me…” She trailed off and scooted closer once more. She sat beside the hanyou and leaned against the wall. Her arm and leg were touching his, which now felt on fire, what is it with this girl!? He almost growled but stopped himself in time. No need to scare her off. I guess I’ll be here a while. “He said that a pure-hearted girl was just what he needed. Then he killed my dad, I guess to prove a point and make me listen to him.” She looked away and Inuyasha noted that she had skipped a major part of her story. “Wow.” Was all he could muster. Her light brown eyes found his and she looked confused. “Wow?” He switched his mind from how soft her lips looked to the current conversation. “Wow, that he would commit such evil. I’ll get you out of here and avenge your father.” Her sad smile shot through his heart, “No offence Inuyasha, but I’ve heard that line before. Not the ‘avenge your father’ part, you’re the first to know about that. It’s hopeless. Sango and I have tried.” She stood and brushed her knees and back. “I’ll be back with your lunch later. Master and Mistress will wonder why I’m not upstairs.” With that said she walked up the dark stair well, leaving the hanyou to his thoughts.
