Chapter 1

A deep groan echoed throughout the silent forest. A young demon lay beaten and bleeding on the leafy ground. The boy's pain showed on this face, his breathing was raspy and weak. It seemed that the boy could die at any second. But the twitch of his ears and the look in his eyes show then he was far from death. The boy was just badly hurt. "Hey over here I think I see someone" A man dressed in a guards uniform shouted. Guards man started to wards the shadow of the boy's body. The sunset had ended just moments ago and the new moon was now showing its face. The guards men crowed around the boy's body

"What should we do? Should we take him back the house?" one man asked,

"I don't think we have a choice. Look at how badly he's hurt."

"Right. Men pick up the lad and brought him back to the house" With that command 4 guards the circled around the boy and picked him up bringing him to a large, almost place, like house. The out side was nicely decorated and a large sing was place over the entrance. The sign read 'Lilly of the dark' this name was well known by the richer people of Japan. The guards took the injured boy through the back gates of the courtyard. An old woman was waiting there for them. Her long gray hair was neatly pulled back in a bun and she wore a very nice, silk-green kimono. She was the head lady of the house

"Lady Kaede, what should we do with his lad? We found him like this in the forest. I think he might be a stone's through from death," said one of the guards that carried the boy in. Lady Kaede walked forward and looked the boy over. Girls started to gather in the courtyard, mumbling and giggling to them self. All the girls where dress nicely, and were in their summery kimono's even thought it was almost winter. Kaede finally turned around and looked at the girls

"I think ill help this boy... he'll come in handy if he lives I need to place him in someone's room.. Who would like him?" The young girl turned around and waked back in side. None could be bothered with taking care of this hurt boy.

"Kikyo how about you?" the women name Kikyo smirked at Kaede

"I could never be bothered with a boy like him, too young for my tastes" Kikyo half chuckled was she left the area. Only a foot out of the courtyard and Kikyo stopped, as she passed another girl not much younger then her self.

"Kagome what are you looking at?" she huffed as she stared down at the girl, Kagome looked down at the ground. Kikyo sighed and continued on her way. Kagome peaked out a little more.

"Kagome will you nurse the boy back to health for me? I'm much to busy to do it my self" Kaede asked, Kagome walked forward and took a long look at him

"I don't think I can do much good" Kaede smiled "you're talented in more ways then one Kagome, you're the best healer we have here…" Kagome took another look at the boy. His breath had become steady, but it was still very shallow and the blood still hadn't stopped flowing. Something within her was touch by the boy pale white face and just how innocent , how weak he looked even thought she could see his strong muscles through his wet kimono. Wet? Why would his clothes be wet? It hadn't rained tonight. She thought

"Fine bring him to my room and I'll tend to him" she sighed.

Kaede smiled, "Thank you, Kagome. I'll make this up to you."

" I know you will" Kagome replied and shot a smile towards the old women before following after the hurt boy.

Kagome peered down at the boy's wounds with her chocolate brown eyes. She sighed heavily at the sight. Her hand lightly touched the wound before she stood up and walked out of room. Kagome was a 16-year-old girl with long raven hair and a pale, but still beautiful, face. It was obvious that Kagome, like most girls in the house didn't get out much during the day. Her body was slim but still well round. "Kagome!" called a voice from behind her "oh, hello Sango" she replied. Sango was girl the same age as Kagome. Sango's long black hair was tied up in a ponytail and she wore a plain white kimono just like Kagome was wearing.

"Are the roomers true? Are you the one taking care of the man they brought in?" Sango asked.

Kagome nodded slightly, "Yes Sango, I am."

"But why would you take such a job? You know you won't be able to hide what we are from him and think of what he will think of you when he finds out"

"Sango I know… I there was just something about that boy that captured me…. There was just something in his face… an innocence, I guess, but I couldn't turn my back on him with out trying to help." Kagome stopped at the well in the courtyard and filled a bucket full of water.

Sango let out a long sigh, "I just hope you know what you're doing… I just don't want to see you hurt again, not after what happened the last time "

Kagome smiled, "Don't worry Sango I'll make sure to be careful around him. I should get back to him I still have to dress his wounds. I'll see you later" Kagome picked up the water bucket and started to walk away

"All right Kagome, don't drool over the man too much" Sango yelled after her. That comment got bother girls giggling.

Kagome walked back into the room and knelt by the boy's limp body and started to remove his clothes. There was no way around it. If Kagome wanted to do a good job on the boy's wounds she would have to remove all his clothes. Kagome looked down at the boys peaceful face "I'm sorry, I truly am, but it's the only way the care for you properly" After the boys clothes where completely off Kagome washed the dried blood off his body. The boy's body was well developed and tanned and for a man his skin was soft. Kagome lost her self for a second in a small daydream, the boy had begun the move and a small groan escaped from his lips.

Kagome quickly pulled the blanket over the boy's naked body. She started into his face and was breathless when she saw his piercing brown eyes. Kagome leaned over him more just too see his eyes. The boy must have been scared or at least startled by Kagome's presents because he bolted up and almost hit Kagome on his way. He backed up to wards the wall. Kagome slowly got to her feet and slowly started to wards him

"Please don't move your too bad hurt" Kagome pleaded with him.

The boy glared at her fiercely "where am I? What happened?" he asked. The boy's voice and deep and almost soothing to hear. He looked down to find out with horror, he was naked. His hand shot forward and covered his cock. "And why am I naked?!"

Kagome bent down and picked up and sheet that would just cover him. "Please let me help you. I need to dress you wounds" Kagome walked forward. The boys look back at Kagome his cheeks where red with a deep blush. Kagome tied the cloth around him and steeped back

"There how is that?"

"B-better thank you… where am I?" the boy asked. Kagome paused not sure what to tell the boy. "Your in the house of the people who saved you from death… please tell me your name… I'm Kagome" The boy look at her, with out even knowing it he was sitting again. It seamed her voice clamed him down enough for him to think straight again.

"My name is Inuyasha…" Kagome smiled as she gently started to bind his wounds

"Inuyasha is a lovely name. It suites you well"

"Thank you… y-your is pretty too" Inuyasha replied.

"I'm all done you can lay back down now" Inuyasha took her advice. No sooner had his head hit the pillow he was asleep. Kagome covered Inuyasha up with the blanket. Her hand stroked his cheek and hair. Kagome stared at his face for a while longer "Why am I drawn to you?" she asked her self as her eyes looked at his gentle face. Kagome leaned down and gave him a small kiss on the forehead before she left the room.
