Chapter: 3

The room was warm. That was the first thing Kagome thought when she awakened from her slumber. She is in a warm room with a soft cotton t-shirt. Her eyes flickered open and for a few seconds she was in a state of confusion. Then her memory returned and she remembered the man who rescued her.

"So, you are up now." He stated when he moved across the room with a tray of food. He deposited the food on the bed and Kagome sat up.

"How long was I asleep?" She stretched and yawned.

"Over ten hours." He replied waiting for her response.

"What! Ten hours" She cried.

"Yeah I came with some dinner for you and you were sound sleep snoring...."

"I was do not snore...."

"And how do you know? I'm sure that isn't something your lover would bring to your attention. If you ever had one. I guess you are too young, you are what 15, 16 tops?” He asked nonchalantly.

“For your information, I am 20 years old as of yesterday. Why do you insist on insulting me?” She asked her temper rising.

Inuyasha liking decided that he liked her scent continued. “I guess you are right, you do have a woman’s body after all. “

“What how would you know…”
“Who do you think changed you Kitten?” He replied smugly.

“How dare you! You have no right touching me!” She shouted

He loved the scent she gave off when she got worked up; his ears however couldn’t take much of her yelling. “Look, I needed to wrap your ankle and I also had to get you out of the wet towel. I tried to wake you, but you must have over done things and was out of it. Sorry if I embarrassed you. I didn’t mean to.”

Kagome calmed down, once again felt stupid. He did offer his bed to her, and he did tend to her and cared for her. The only person that seemed to be the pervert was she. Guilt hit her hard so she wanted to make things right. “I am sorry for yelling, it’s just very odd that I am here is all.”

He nodded to her and replied. “It’s ok. Really. Now it’s time to talk. Who is family? I’m sure you would want to contact someone to tell them you are safe. Especially since the storm came so suddenly.”

“No I don’t have a family, I came with some friends.” She replied eating and savoring her eggs. She smiled at the taste and texture of her meal. Hojo would deny her of rich foods, and because of that, she was always dieting. Her breakfast usually consisted of an energy drink. Never would he let her have real food for breakfast.

“You said you were at your ex’s place. Do you need to call him?” He asked raising an eyebrow at her behavior. She has no family? She is a 20-year-old girl. Her snow outfit told him that she came from money. And the closest ski resort is private and only for the wealthy. Maybe she is an heiress of some sort.

“No that’s not necessary, I would like to call a cab or something.” She replied.


“It was too dark for you to really see or notice, but the roads are closed Kitten, you are stuck with me until the roads are fixed. Are you sure that you don’t want to call anyone?” He queried again.

“I suppose I could call my credit card company because I lost my wallet in the snow. I’m glad I left my passport and other id at the retreat.” She replied sampling the sausage links that were on her plate. She then thought about it and then asked. “What can I do to repay you? If it’s money you want…”

“I don’t want your money.” He snapped looking at her. His head tilted to the side as if thinking something through. “Do you clean?” He asked then remembered her snow suite. “You’ve never so much as lifted a duster have you?”

“What are you talking about? Of course I could, if my ankle doesn’t hurt. Too much that is.” She thought looking down at here blanked covered feet.

Shaking his head he then tried again, “ Can you cook?”

“I guess I can.”

“What does that mean?” He asked

“I never, never needed to cook. At the school we had it prepared, and in the dorms I….I…”

“Never mind. What do you do?” He asked.

She felt inadequate. Hojo never let her in the kitchen saying that her hands weren’t made to work. She only was in college for two years before Hojo begged her to quit school for a while because he felt lonely. She didn’t even know how to answer the question.

“I am a student.” She replied knowing she sounded vague. She felt stupid around him and she really wanted to sound more adult and sophisticated in front of him. Instead she sounded like a clueless bimbo.

He looked at her incredulously and shook his head as if he gave up. “You need to finish eating.” He said to her looking at her hardly touched food.

“I’m full.” She replied truthfully.

“You shouldn’t be, you look too thin if you ask me. I was trying to figure out how you small body can hold up your huge…”

“Don’t go there.” She snapped.

“I am not being crude. You young girls have no clue what turns a man on. Anyways, you need to gain at least 15 pounds kitten. And you need to gain your strength so eat what is on the plate, or do you want me to feed you?”

Kagome gave a little yelp of denial and continued to eat, until she half finished her plate. She finally stopped telling him she can’t eat another bite. He nodded and finished her plate for her.

“Now” he commanded as he lifted the tray and placed it in a table by the doorway. “ I want you to test that foot of yours.” He then pulled the blankets off of her.

“What? Why are you being so..”

“Enough here grab my hand and try to get up.”

When she remained on the bed, he leaned over and growled “Shall I remind you that you are nothing but and uninvited guest. And you are imposing yourself on me. This is my house and you need to do as I say. And if you think that you going to play pretty princess and laze around, you are sadly mistaken. I am not your friend who would put up with your whining shit. Are we clear Kitten?”

Kagome gulped and nodded slowly. He stood back again and extended his hand. She swung her legs and slowly got up holding on to him. She was relieved that the tee shirt that she had on reached just above her knees.

“Try to put a little weight on it, kitten.”

She touched the ground and saw that once she applied pressure, pain came. Sensing her distress, he placed her on the bed and said “ I‘ll remove the bandage before you get dressed and we’ll soak it more.”

“Don’t worry about it. I can do it myself.” She said quietly.

“I don’t know kitten, you don’t seem to be the type that gets her hands dirty.” He mocked

“Why are you so hateful? Listen I realize that you don’t have a lot of money, and you think that I am some rich primadonna, but the truth is…..”
“Look kitten, I really don’t have time for this. I’ll bring the water and some tea, because I have some work that needs to be done. Your arrival has caused me to become behind in my work.” He replied walking out the door.

She gritted her teeth in anger. She didn’t understand why he was so rude. Or why he had to continue to insult her. She didn’t like being treated like this. He thought she was a rich snob, and he was this common workingman who resented it. She felt a little jealous because he had no clue that she had nothing. The little money she had left was her ticket back to school. If only she could get him to see that she wasn’t what he thought she was.
