Chapter Three: Will you hold me in the night?

 

 

Last Time:

“Captain…” she yawned again. “It's midnight and you should go home and get

some sleep.” Her eyes felt really heavy then. She yawned yet again.

 

She made a move for the door, but didn't make it far, and stumbled. Inuyasha anticipated this and grabbed her around the waste to steady her. She flushed every shade of red.

 

“Oh, sorry. I am tired, I will get out of your hair… sorry,” she squeaked and tried to make it to the elevator quickly. That was not what fate had in store for her tonight. Inuyasha looked at the girl again.

 

`She's looks like death. She's not going to make it. But you can't. Her scent. Handle it you dolt she needs you.' Inuyasha's mind fought with himself.

 

He quickly threw on his shoes and grabbed his stuff in pursuit of Kagome. He reached the elevator and pushed the down button. The door opened with a chime and there lay Kagome completely passed out from exhaustion.

 

 

 

“Ah shit,” sighed Inuyasha. “Kagome,” he attempted to wake her. “Kagome,” he said a little louder. She stirred slightly but only drifted back to sleep. Inuyasha gathered her things in one hand and tried to carry with the other. She started to slip out of his grasp, so he set her down on the floor again, and pushed the lobby button again.

 

He bent down and tried to shake her awake, but to no avail. His fists clenched at his sides and he knew he really should ask someone to help him. Unfortunately for him, not a sole was in sight.

 

He mentally chided himself for even thinking to pass her off to someone else, but he knew he couldn't be himself around her. `At least my controlled self he thought' rather spitefully.

 

The elevator door chimed and the door opened. Inuyasha braced himself and summoned all his strength. He picked her up and supported under her knees and head. He sighed again, “I can do this. It's not so bad. Just focus on getting her home.”

 

He began to walk to the main door of the building. Nodding to the security guard, and walking out into the parking garage to find his car.

 

He reached his government owned vehicle, and deposited Kagome in the front seat. He once again tried to rouse her; she only mumbled incoherent words that sounded like, “No,” and “Tan.”

 

Inuyasha grabbed her purse in attempts to find out where she lived so he could at least get her home.

 

`There is no way I can bring her to my house. She won't last the night.'

 

He found a key and a slip of paper with an address on it close to his own apartment. He buckled himself and Kagome in and started the car.

 

This was the first time he had been alone with Kagome. He had avoided her all day, at all costs; even bypassing lunch with Sango and Miroku. He back out of the parking space, and exited the garage.

 

He had thought of her today often, and he knew that was dangerous. Inuyasha was half demon after all. Born from his human mother, and his demon father, he had walked this earth for a long time. He glanced over at her now, taking in her feminine features.

 

`She really is a classic beauty. I mean, half the guys in the office about went out to buy her flowers today.' He thought pleasantly

 

He could smell her exhaustion everywhere. He didn't like it. However, he was glad it over powered her normal scent. That is why he feared her. She awakened something in him that until now lay dormant for decades; his demon half.

 

He kept his eyes focused on the road. It was a quiet night. He looked at the address on the paper again; he had another five minutes of driving at least. He chanced another glance at her. She was peacefully asleep with a small smile on her face. He couldn't help but smile to himself.

 

`Damn wench is going to make me go soft,' he slightly chuckled to himself at the thought. He took in her eyes, her delicate lips, her onyx hair, and her slender frame. Most men would call him lucky for being able to drive her home. He knew that it maybe lucky for him, but definitely was not lucky for her. He knew what would happen should he lose control. When he first saw her today he couldn't believe it at first.

 

All she did was speak, and his demon blood coursed through him like a raging storm. Inuyasha for the most part didn't mind being a half demon. He had more strength then twenty men, a great sense of smell and hearing, and he would live much longer than any human.

 

It was days like today that he hated his demon heritage. His demon side was a primitive beast that desired only two things; power and submission. His demon side called to him to claim this girl and make her submit to him. The ultimate question that he had been racking his brain all day was why?

 

He looked at her again. She was strong, pretty, intelligent, the sort of girl any man would take as a wife. Inuyasha reached over and turned on the radio to try and distract him from the slumbering beauty.

 

Inuyasha began reminiscing on today's events. The Satou case was coming along well. They had a few leads; all they needed was a plan of attack. He read the slip of paper again. He was really close now. He pulled up to the apartment complex.

 

`Nice place,' he thought looking at the well to do apartments.

 

Inuyasha walked to the other end of the car and gently wrapped the girl in his arms. The door man gave him a questioning look. He ended up flashing his badge from his belt and the door man quickly decided that the gun next to it was enough evidence that the girl lived there.

 

He got to the elevator and according to the paper she lived on the eleventh floor. He got in and the door closed behind him.

 

Kagome cuddled closer to him and slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. She nuzzled his neck and sigh contently. Inuyasha stiffened and tried to remain calm, that's when he heard his demon side calling to him.

 

`Take her. Claim her. She's your's.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes flickered a blood red color; suddenly Kagome whimpered. He looked at her seriously, trying to figure out the reason for her discomfort.

 

Luckily, the elevator had reached it's destination and again opened with a chime. The elevator was now filled with unfamiliar scents and for that Inuyasha was grateful. Feeling in control again, he marched out of the elevator looking for room 638.

 

After walking down the corridor for a while he found the room he needed. He fiddled with her keys trying to find the one that would fit the particular lock. After several tries and almost giving up, he got it open.

 

The door opened swiftly. The room certainly wasn't a penthouse suite, but it really was quite charming. Not too small or too big, it was cozy. The room was adorned with many boxes full of possessions in need of a home.

 

Inuyasha walked around in search of her bedroom. There were two bedrooms and one bathroom joined them. Eventually, he picked the bed with sheets on it. He gently untangled Kagome from his neck and laid her down. She shivered at the loss of warmth and curled into a ball.

 

Inuyasha ventured back into the box wasteland that had to the living room in search of some blankets. He felt like an intruder digging through all of her things. He sighed growing tired of looking for the evasive bedding.

 

He looked around for any indication of blankets. He walked toward the window. The view really was breath taking. He decided that he would just grab the flimsy blanket that lay draped over the couch. He started back to room.

 

Without warning Inuyasha heard a scream coming from Kagome's room. His fear heightened immediately he withdrew his gun and ran toward Kagome's room. He kicked the door wide open to find Kagome thrashing around on the bed with no one insight.

 

She let out another blood curdling scream. Realization hit him like a brick wall; she was having a night terror. Agents often could not forget the horrific events they witnessed and relived them in their dreams.

 

Quickly Inuyasha safely secured his gun and dashed to Kagome's side.

 

“Kagome wake up!” He shook her and yelled more loudly. “Your having a nightmare Kagome wake UP!!”

 

“Let go of me! Get off! GET OFF!” she screamed and kicked him away with all her strength. “Please Tanaka.” She was crying and whimpering now.

 

Inuyasha couldn't bare this for another moment; this girl had obviously been through something horrifying. “KAGOME! It's Inuyasha, wake UP. Come on WAKE UP!” He tapped her face and shook her harder this time.

 

She only cried harder and begged for release. This was killing Inuyasha he didn't know what to do. He touched her face again; she was dripping in sweat and her heartbeat was rapid. Inuyasha ran to the kitchen grabbed a cloth and ran cool water over it. He raced back to Kagome's side and patted her face with the rag.

 

“Kagome, Kagome shh… it's okay I'm here,”

 

Kagome whimpered softly and her eyes fluttered open. She looked around in a daze. Her head feeling like it had been used as a punching bag. Her eyes turned to Inuyasha now. His golden iris' full of worry.

 

“Are you okay Kagome?”

 

She cried harder and lunged herself into Inuyasha's chest.

 

He visibly stiffened but then returned the embrace.

 

“Shh… Shh… just sleep.” He cooed and rubbed her back.

 

After about fifteen minutes Kagome finally succumbed to a deep sleep. Deciding that she was finally unconscious, Inuyasha carefully laid her back down on the bed. She whimpered at the loss of warmth, but quickly snuggled into the blankets contently.

 

`Ugh I will never make it home, I am just too tired. Not to mention I need to watch over Kagome. Well the couch can't be that bad, and I will leave before she wakes'

 

Inuyasha yawned and set his cell phone alarm for the morning. Laying down on the couch his listened for Kagome's steady breathing. With a smile on his face he indulged himself with her alluring scent once more before surrendering to his own slumber land.

 

Inuyasha awoke to the annoying beeping from his alarm. He sighed and stretched his neck, which was now in serious pain from sleeping on the couch. He stood and prepared to leave. Abruptly, he stopped and smelled the air.

 

“Oh that smells good.” Inuyasha said thinking aloud.

 

“Well it should; it's my homemade coffee,” came voice from behind him.

 

Inuyasha whirled around, only to find a very lovely looking Kagome.

 

“Come on, let's have some breakfast,”

 

“Yeah, okay. Thanks.”

 

Kagome lend him into the kitchen. They sat down at the table that had two plates of food on it.

 

“It's not much, but it all I have here until I go to the store.” said Kagome

 

“Oh, it's fine. I mean uh, I usually only have coffee anyway so this really is a treat”

 

Kagome smiled at the compliment. They ate in awkward, but content silence.

 

“This really is great Kagome, thank you.” Kagome blushed slightly

 

“Really Inuyasha it is I who should be thanking you. You after all had to carry me all the way home. I must admit, I almost murdered you in your sleep. I thought you were a burglar.” She said still blushing.

 

“Keh, no big deal”

 

They continued to eat in a more comfortable silence. Each one glanced at the other, and then quickly looked away when the other noticed. It was sort of a game if you could catch the other one looking. They played glance tag for what seemed like forever. No one seemed to catch the other one particularly at one time. Finally, she caught him. She smiled at him. Inuyasha returned it.

 

`She really does have a glorious smile' he thought

 

Inuyasha glanced at his watch and almost fell over in shock.

 

“Damn, it's almost 7:30!”

 

Kagome glanced at her own watch and gasped. She turned to Inuyasha

 

“Shit we gotta go!” they shouted together.

 

They grabbed their coats and dashed out the door in rush to get to work.
