More than a Friend by Wesa Ada
An Inu Yasha fan fiction
Chapter 1
Inu Yasha searched frantically around Naraku's manor for Kagome's familiar scent. All my fault, he thought to himself, it's all MY fault! Naraku had finally been defeated when Kikyou, Kouga, Sango, Miroku and he had finally teamed up against the demon. The reason they had all come together was simple. Kagome had been captured. And it's all MY fault! Inu Yasha thought bitterly. I should have been watching her...I shouldn't have gone to find Kikyou! Now she is probably dead and its ALL MY FAULT! He had been searching the manor for a little over a day now and he was exhausted. But he wouldn't let himself sleep until she was found. By the mercy of the gods, let her be alive...
A small noise caught the attention of his demon ears and Inu Yasha stopped in his tracks. That sounds like crying...he thought to himself. He followed the sound into a room he hadn't noticed before. In a corner of, bruised, cut up, and naked was Kagome. He quickly ran over to the sobbing girl. She was curled into a little ball and only her back was visible to him. "K-kagome?" he whispered, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Kagome cried out and flinched at his touch. "No no no please! Leave me be Naraku! L-leave me alone!" her sobbing grew louder and her shoulders shook with the force of it. "Kagome! It's me!" The girl looked up at Inu Yasha bleary-eyed with tears. "I-inu Y-yasha....!" She reached out to touch his face with her hands. "Inu Yasha...help me! May this dream be reality...." The girl dropped her hands and turned away.
"Kagome...this isn't a dream..." he said softly as he pushed her hair away from her face. "I'm here now. It's all going to be ok..." She tried to get up but failed, and fell with a loud smack back upon the floor. She looked up at him sadly and tears ran down her face.
The hanyou boy gently picked her up and held her in his arms. "Inu Yasha...here...safe now...." she murmered. Her eyes then grew empty and she went limp in his arms. "Kagome..." he whispered her name softly as if it was a talismin to keep this from happening again. He wrapped her naked body in his fire rat jacket and carried her as carefully as he could to freedom...

When Kagome woke again she was somewhere warm. Her body still ached with the pain of her wounds but she felt safe now. Safer than she had felt in the past four days spent at Naraku's castle....she shivered as the memories came back. Some small tears ran down her cheek. I am safe now. she told herself with more confidence than she felt. Last night was not a dream.
As Kagome slowly returned to conciousness, she realized where her 'warm place' was. She was in the arms of Inu Yasha. It was his hair that was preventing her from seeing the world around her. She pushed away the hair to look upon the face of her savior.
Inu Yasha was sleeping peacefully. He looks like an angel...she thought. Without thinking, she reached up to touch his face. He gave a small moan and opened his clear amber eyes. "Kagome..." he whispered sleepily. "Safe at last...with me..." He closed his eyes again and went back to sleep. Kagome blushed despite herself. I wonder if he knew what he just said.
She snuggled back into the warmth and comfort of his arms. I wonder if he thinks of me as more than a friend...with that thought, Kagome slowly drifted back to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When she next awoke, Inu Yasha was gone. Wheezing softly from her bruised ribs, Kagome tried to get up but she fell back onto the ground. What is wrong with me?! she thought. Why can't I get up? Why must I be so weak? Kagome cried a few tears of frustration at her self. Why?! Why did Naraku... she wouldn't let herself finish that thought. She was simply happy to be alive. Simply happy to be back with Inu Yasha.
Suddenly, Kagome realized something. I'M ONLY WEARING HIS SHIRT?! she screeched in her head, a dark red blush creeping over her face. How did I get this way? If i'm only wearing Inu Yasha's shirt...then he must have seen me....NAKED! the blush on her face got deeper. Why can't I remember? What happened to me? All I remember is Naraku taking me in the middle of the night... She shuddered, remembering his cold eyes...the way he looked at her....Kagome let a little whimper escape her lips.
"Kagome?" Sango put her head through the doorway. "What's wrong?" Kagome smiled at her friend, but then winced at the pain it caused her.
"Sango-chan....what...happened to me?" Kagome pleaded to her. "Why do I hurt so bad?" Sango gave Kagome a sad look and sat down beside her.
"We were hoping you would tell us Kagome..." Sango put her hand on Kagome's hair, feeling its softness. Sango had missed her best friend, and it hurt her to see Kagome injured like this.
"I-i don't remember Sango....I remember seeing Naraku's face in the middle of the night...and then the next thing i knew I was hurt badly and sleeping in Inu Yasha's arms...and only wearing his shirt...." she said softly, almost to herself.
Sango shifted uneasily. "When Inu Yasha found you, you were naked and pretty beat up Kagome...you were sobbing and curled into a little ball....He put his shirt on you when he brought you back out of Naraku's castle..." she made a choking noise and tears ran down her face. "We were all so worried about you Kagome...." Sango went to hug Kagome but remembered her bruises at the last moment and stoped herself.
"Where is Inu Yasha, Sango?" Kagome asked worryedly. As if in answer to her question, Inu Yasha walked into the room, carrying a fish. She felt a wave of releif wash over her when she saw his face. I must not forget... the thought came unbiden to her mind. Why would forget him? she thought to herself. What is wrong with me?
"Kagome are you awake now?" he asked her in his usal moody way. But there was something else under his tone. A different shading to his voice. "Keh...about time." he said without waiting for an answer. He plopped himself down next to her and handed Sango the fish to cook.
"You don't have to collect shards anymore Kagome. The jewel is complete. We got the rest when we finished Naraku off. You can go home as soon as you are well." His amber eyes looked softly upon her face. "That is...if you want to go home..." he mumbled, loud enough only for Kagome to hear.
She looked up at him. "I like being with you Inu Yasha. You make me feel safe...I don't want to leave you...." A look of surprise crossed Inu Yasha's face and a blush crept across his face. "K-kagome!" he stuttered.
She lifted a hand to touch his face, then let it fall slowly, tracing her fingers down his cheek. "I mean it Inu Yasha...I really do..." a grimance crossed breifly over her face and she grunted in pain. Inu Yasha looked at her guiltily.
"Kagome....I'm sorry I let this happen to you..." he mummbled softly. Kagome had a look of confusion on her face. "You...its not your fault Inu Yasha....I-i can't remember....why did you leave me?" Inu Yasha mumbled something inaudible and turned his face away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear that." Inu Yasha turned to face her again, anger burning in his eyes. "I went to find Kikyou ok?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?!" Kagome's eyes filled with tears and fear. She let out a small whimper and curled back into a ball.
"K-kagome....I-i didn't mean to.....don't cry please! I'm sorry...!" Inu Yasha said, already feeling guilty for yelling at her. Why am I taking my anger out on her? She doesn't deserve it! Kagome however continued to cry, and he could smell the fear on her body, just as strong as it was when he found her yesterday... I should know better than to yell at her. Especialy after what she has been through...
Kagome looked so small and fragile to him as she lay on the ground. A twinge of guilt ran through his body when he again saw the bruises and scratches on her body. He put his hand on her shoulder and after a moment's hesiatation, lay his head on her neck. "I'm sorry Kagome...I shouldn't take it out on you...." She looked up at him blankly with tears still streaming down her face.
"W...who are you?" she asked.
