Entering Inu-Yasha's house and first impressions

By FireDemon86

I don't own Inu-Yasha.

Major changes done to this chapter. Can you tell where???

They sat on the leather cushions of the limo Inu-Yasha's arm around her waist his mind deep in thought as was hers.

< Should I try and kiss her again? What if we get interrupted again she probable think I'm cursed and run in fright and could any one blame her, I don't think I could but this feeling so strong. Maybe if I just give her a peek on the cheek that will be enough. >

< Why is he staring at me and what's with his arm around my waist not that I mind exactly but what's he thinking ohh maybe he's gone try and kiss me again oh man what to do? >

They sat there neither know how to move then the car came to an abrupt stop and Inu-Yasha looked up almost happy something was taking his mind off this dilemma. He turned slightly just enough to push a button to lower the glass that divided the back seat from Jaken's front driving area. They were shocked to see Jaken gone from his seat Kagome grinesed a little in fright while Inu-Yasha just yelled.

" Jaken where are you? Jaken what's going on? Jaken...Jaken…"

Just then his body appeared and he turn to look at them.

" Yes Mater Inu-Yasha do forgive me sir there was an accident up ahead I went to make sure no one was hurt."

" What kind of accident Jaken?"

Kagome asked still a little scared. Which Inu-Yasha seemed to be able to scene and held her tighter. At the question Jaken look down at the front seat and never made eye contact with Inu-Yasha he took a deep breathed said.

"A very young boy was almost hit lady Kagome."

At this Inu-Yasha was at the edge of his seat. And looked a little scared then said.

" Was he hurt?"

" No sir he was lucky he was not hurt but..."

" But what?… If he wasn't hurt then what's with the but."

Now Jaken lowered his head more.

" The boy's mother was not so lucky sir...She dead."

Just then a call rang throw Jaken still open door. It was a high-pitched voice and was choked with sods.

" Mother... Mother you can't take her NO Mother... Mother."

All of them lowed their heads. Inu-Yasha more so and with his eyes covered by his bangs he said.

" Find a new route Jaken that's get out of here."

He nodded shut the car door and began to navigate the vehicle to a new route. Inu-Yasha then pressed the button and the dividing glass rose again. Nothing was said for a long time then Kagome said.

" Inu-Yasha I'm sorry."

" For what?"

He didn't even look at her as he spook.

" For any bad memories that brought out, you look like…"

Just then she saw very thin sparkling line that ran down his face.

< He's crying for that boy no for himself for his mother. >

So she reached down and got a handkerchief from her purse and began brushing the tears away. He backed up a little, perhaps in shock but allows her to continue then slowly looks her in the eye. His golden eyes still a little glazed from the tears but show some happiness when joined with hers. Then very slowly reached up taking his face in her hands she gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Inu-Yasha's eyes became wide and he pulled her closer. But Kagomes mind was miles away. For the moment her lips touched his face she felt her mind fall back. Then the little voice came.

< Kagome I promised and now I'll keep it, look as I remember. >

< What?… What do you mean remember?… Where is the car?… Where is Inu-Yasha?… Where am I? >

Then all she could see was smoke she coughed and grabbed her throat the sound of battle and death filled the air and many voices yelling filled her ears but then as if she were the visitor to her own body she heard herself call out.

" Inu-Yasha were are you? Inu-Yasha help!"

Then the smoke cleared a little and she saw something through it. It was Inu-Yasha he was standing there wearing an old red outfit but there was someone in his arms. They were hugging in the middle of this battlefield Kagome tried but couldn't make out the face but just then something caught her eye gleaming metal a blade and it was rising in her hand, she means to kill him. Then once again she felt like an outsider looking in as the tears flowed freely and she ran towards him and this girl who meant to kill him.

" Inu-Yasha... Inu-Yasha... look out she going to kill you."

Then she was back in the car with Inu-Yasha holding her and his cheek still resting on her lip. She pulled back a little then she saw his eyes, which looked dead set on claming her lips. As he pulled her to him and drifted closer to her they heard a tap, looking up they saw wisely Jaken had knocked before starting to open the door. Inu-Yasha growled in frustration and Kagome blush and separated from his hold.

" We're home master Inu-Yasha."

" I kind of guessed that."

He said as he helped Kagome out of the car. And as soon as she laid eyes on it she was frozen. It was a hug manner it was made of a pale white stone that seemed to expand to either side for miles. Four white pillars held up an over hang an about ten steps lead up to the front doors. Two double doors and a massive doorknocker that was a bronze dog or wolf head. Jaken went ahead and opened the door and Inu-Yasha took her hand and lead her throw the door to extravagant hall with an enormous stair case leading up, then to her left and right two other doorway that seem to lead to sitting rooms. On the walls hung ancient weapons, a sword on each side of the room seemed to give the aura of safety and protection to the whole house. Also on the walls old bows and quivers of arrows, along with a trident and pike (the thing the one thunder brother used).

"Welcome to my home."

He said with absolutely no emotion. She looked slowly up the stairs and at the top there was a hall and from it she saw shadows coming slowly toward them. As she focus on them more detail became more apparent. She could tell it was a very tall person and the way they moved made her think it was a man but as she looked to the face of the shadow it seem to be snarling contorted into such a hateful expression it gave her a cool chill. Then the person moved from shadow to flesh he was a tall man with long white hair straight hair not frizzy like Inu-Yasha's. Then she noticed his face he stared down at her and Inu-Yasha with such cold eyes and face that looked as if it had never know a smile. Inu-Yasha glared back at him and there now came a, coldness to his eyes that she had never seen before it almost matched the other mans.

" Hello Sesshoumaru"

Inu-Yasha growled he stood calm still glaring down at us. Then he started down the stairs then in a soft smooth voice he spook but never did he lose that coldness in his eyes.

" Dear little half-brother, are you feeling better?"

Then he turned his glare to Kagome and began again.

" Your must be feeling better to bring home a new hooker."

Kagome instantly saw red and her face reflected it.

<HOW DARE HE SAY THAT!! Inu-Yasha you better says or do something or I'll shut him up brother or not. >

Inu-Yasha obviously was seeing the same shade of red as Kagome and looked like he was foaming at the mouth.

" How dare you say that you..."

He was shut up abruptly when Sesshoumaru's hand leap to his throat and tighten.

" Inu-Yasha!!"

Kagome cried out the anger gone now only the worry remained. Her face white in fear with eyes wide. Then from somewhere deep inside she felt a rush of courage and grabbed Sesshoumaru's arm and drove her nails into it. At once Sesshoumaru released and turned to her utter rage plaster on his face raising a hand and crying out.

" WITCH!!! NO GOOD..."

His hand lowed quickly toward her but it was stopped when Inu-Yasha jumped in front of her taking the blow and shrugging it off.

" DON'T YOU DARE EVERY RAISE A HAND TO HER AGAIN!!"

He roared at him eyes alive with fire. Sesshoumaru glared at him then at her and she could almost fell the hate in the glare.

"Jaken!!! Get them out of my sight!"

He growled still locked in a staring contest with Inu-Yasha.

" Well sir Master Inu-Yasha is home now and your going to have to learn to live with him again after all you are brothers."

At saying this however he was meant with ice-cold glares from both Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru whose face now growing with disgust and hate.

" We are half brothers Jaken but he doesn't even deserve that honor"

After saying this Sesshoumaru turned and left the room going throw the sitting area on the left crossing it and pass through another door which he close behind him. Which as soon as it close Inu-Yasha instantly showed signs of relief and began to return to how he was before Sesshoumaru had been seen. He then reached over and placed a hand on Kagome's shoulders and began, in probable the calms and most soothing voice he had at that time.

" Are you alright Kagome?"

She nodded yes but her heart still was racing what kind of guy is Sesshoumaru he was so cruel and he was really going to hit me. Just then Inu-Yasha drew her closer her so that her head could rest on his chest and he place his head on top of hers and continued to hold her tight to him as he continued to speak.

" Don't worry Kagome you have nothing to fear he'll NEVER lay a hand on you not here or anywhere so don't be afraid to come to my home because I shall always be here to protect you. This I promise you."

He continued to hold her not wanting to let her go breathing in her lovely scent and moving his hand soothingly on her back. Not that Kagome minded him holding her infact she was enjoying it quit a bit, and so she never tried to pull away she stay there breathing in his scent feeling his chest rise and fall. After much inner argument he pulled away but not far away still keeping her in his arms. He looked to Jaken who was standing there tiring not to stare then Inu-Yasha spoke.

" Jaken have the cook prepare my favorite meal for us while I show Kagome around come and find us when it's readily."

Jaken nodded and walked off to the right and Inu-Yasha took her hand and leads her up the stairs. Once at the top Kagome could see the path split in three directions not just the one Sesshoumaru had come from as she originally thought. One path to the left was dark no light anywhere she could see, she couldn't see farther then three feet down it then she looked up to Inu-Yasha with a questioning look and he nodded and began.

" That's my fathers wing and when he's not here it's kept dark like this all accept for early Sunday morning when the maids go in and dust and clean."

Then she looked to the one Sesshoumaru had come down and heard Inu-Yasha give a slight growl. It was as dark but still had some lights maybe three or four, on the wall hug decorated gargoyles and creepy old hell paintings at the very end there was a spiral staircase leading upwards. This surprised her a little having seen Sesshoumaru and the decoration upon the wall she had assumed the stairs would have gone down ward toward hell. But shrugged this off she looked up to Inu-Yasha who was baring his teeth a little she didn't need to hear him say it, she had already guess but felt she should make sure.

" This path leads to Sesshoumaru's quarters which are upstairs but you must make me a promise Kagome never go down this hall because I won't be as able to protect you if your in Sesshoumaru's space so promise not to go there."

" I promise Inu-Yasha."

Then she looked to the last corridor it was well lit and seemed brighter and more welcome that any other place in this palace. It had three step's leading up to it, and a long hall way that ended what seemed to be a mile away with a set of glass doors. Inu-Yasha then began pulling on her hand, looking up at him, smiled sweetly at her.

"Now this is a place your always welcome any time night or day. These are my quarters so come on."

He tugged on her hand again and they went up the stairs and started down the long hallway each door looked like the others. On the walls hung paints of nothing in particular but there seemed a theme of all of them having a dark haired woman with the most gentle eyes Kagome had ever seen in them. Then about half way down the hall there was an enormous painting that went from floor to ceiling of the same women very beautifully done. Inu-Yasha saw Kagome wide eyed looking at the painting.

" That's my mom, Izayoi. My dad, Toga I guess was falling in love with her, however he was still married to Sesshoumaru's mom. So when he couldn't see her he'd have an artist friend of his paint her and then he'd send them to my dad in secret. Then when Sesshoumaru's mom died in an accident, my dad was going to marry my mom but two days before the wedding my mom died in a car accident… Toga came a brought me here to live and finial was able to bring all these painting out, there are many in my father's wing too."

Kagome looked at him and smiled and then they continued down the hall till they where all but at the end and saw a door painted red.

"Well this is it."

He said coming to a stop in front of it he reached down and turned the knob and in one fluid move pushed the door wide open. There was red carpet, a desk painted black with a computer, a big comfy looking chair that had red cushions, Two bookcases and red silk sheets neatly layer upon the bed and the bed posts where painted black. Two tables on ether side of the bed and another small table with a light by the chair. Two doors led off to a bathroom and closet both of which where huge. She smiled than notice another set of doors in the corner with black silk curtains on them. He pulled her to the curtains and open the door taking her out onto a balcony that over look the beautiful rear gardens and seemed to stretch for miles. An enormous maze and hundreds of rose bushes and a fence of cherry trees the whole way round the gardens. He smiled at her and said.

" What do you thing of my home?"

She looked up at him and said.

" It's beautiful you have a great home."

Then a knock at the door it was Jaken.

" Lunch is served Master Inu-Yasha please follow me."

They quietly follow him down stairs and through a passage to the right through another set of double doors to a big dinning room with a table that could easily seat fifty. And so they sat and Jaken signal for the cooks to bring on the dishes.
