The Silver Haired Man
A few days had passed since Kagome had saved Inuyasha from death. The dog had been doing quite well since he had arrived. Inuyasha's wounds have been healing nicely since he had arrived here. Which is strange though. He had some terrible wounds and yet in only two days they're almost completely healed. Inuyasha was now laying on the couch sound asleep.
That was pretty much all he had been doing since he arrived here. Than again, Kagome didn't mind though. It was kinda nice to have some company at the house instead of being alone in a big empty house. Than she sighed and started to do some cleaning. It wasn't a fun thing to do, but it was better than doing nothing on her day off.
Grabbing some of the cleaning supplies in the hall cabbord she grabbed some floor wax, window cleaner, and some wipes for the counters. The rest of the stuff is in the bathroom.(cleaning the bathroom, the most horrible thing to clean... ugh...) The first thing she started to do was clean the.... ugh.... bathroom. Starting to clean the bath tub was the hardest things to clean though. Good thing for Kagome, that she had on a t-shirt and shorts. Better than getting her clothes wet.
As she was cleaning she heard foot steps coming. Claws hitting the hard wood floor. Right away, she knew who it was. Inuyasha was awake. With that said, Inuyasha walked into the bathroom and stared at Kagome with a very cute heaed tilt. (and when I mean cute, I mean Kawaii cute!) Kagome could only smile at Inuyasha as she asked "what is it boy? Hungry? Want to go outside? Someone at the door?"
Inuyasha grabbed her sleeve and tugged on it slightly. Trying to tell her that someone was at the door. But the growling that he was admitting was telling her that it was something that he didn't like. Kagome stood up and walked out of the bathroom and toward the front door. But when Kagome opened the door, her blood went cold. Fear coursed through her and she started to take small steps back.
Standing in the door way was the one person that scares her more than anything. A boy around her age with long dark brown hair pulled into a high ponytail, with sky blue eyes and wore a black shirt with grey jogging pants. He smiled at Kagome as he asked "hey Kagome, wanna go out to the movies?"
All Kagome could do was back away. She didn't want to talk to him. Just his very presents sent shivers up her spine. Kouga was a wolf demon, someone that always scared Kagome cause a wolf was just another type of dog. Of course, he didn't know that she was afraid of him. Than again, even if he did know, he wouldn't leave her alone. Kouga wasn't one to give up that easily... All wolf demons NEVER give up... Not in a million years have they ever given up on something unless they knew that they couldn't get what they want...
Kagome wanted to run. Run away from this wolf demon. But she couldn't get away. For Kouga had grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let go. He calmly asked "so Kagome, will you go out with me for a lunch date?"
Kagome knew that Kouga wasn't asking. More like demanding. Ever since he had first laid eyes on her, he's always claimed that she was his woman. But she never liked him like that. Her fear had made sure of that. But than there was a sound. What was that? Huh? It was.... Growling? If so, than who's growling? When Kagome turned around, there was Inuyasha.
He was in a fighting stance, his fur was standing on end as his growl, dark and fierce. Kouga growled right back as he said "what the hell?! I thought you said that you don't like dogs!"
"I don't. But he's different! He's my friend!" Screamed Kagome.
Kouga glared at Kagome as he said "I won't let you keep this mutt here. If you wanted a dog, a wolf is much better. They can protect you. Not some stupid mutt." Kagome didn't like it the way Kouga had insulted Inuyasha. Or his idea of giving her a wolf for protection. There was no way that she would keep a wolf. Out of all types of dogs, they scare her the worse.
So, Kagome screamed "I WON'T LET YOU GIVE ME A WOLF! I DON'T LIKE WOLVES! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" Kouga didn't like the way Kagome was talking back to him. There was no way that he was going to allow that. Than, he slapped her across the face, hard. Kagome fell to the ground, wincing in pain. She could feel something falling down her now aching cheek. When she placed her hand on it, and looked at what was on her hand, she saw blood.
Her blood. When she gasped in both pain, fear and shock. Inuyasha's growl grew deeper. Almost as if he was saying "you harmed my friend... I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING ASS HOLE!"At least, that's what she thinks he would be saying. Than Inuyasha charged at Kouga, biting his arm. Kouga wined in pain. There was no way that he was going to lose to a mutt! No freaking way! Than he punched Inuyasha in the face. Hoping that it would get the silver dog off of him.
But he had no luck. Inuyasha's fangs were deep into his skin, and was getting deeper. The dog wasn't going to let go. There was no way that was going to happen. Nope, no way. Kouga screamed "call him off!" Kagome could only stare at Inuyasha and Kouga. There was no way that she could control the dog. Is there? If so... could she really do that?
It was hard to say. This dog didn't like to listen to rules. Even though he slept most of the time since he's been here. Kouga couldn't stand to wait for Kagome to call off the dog. So he swiped at the dog, giving it a small cut across it's nose. Inuyasha had let out a yipe, as he fell to the ground. Then Kouga was about to attack again. But after he swiped for the dog, everything almost went cold.
Because, as soon as he swung his claws, Kagome had stood up and too the hit to her back. Kouga gasped out in shock. Kagome winced in pain. This was the worst kind of pain that she's ever felt in her life. She slowly turned around to face Kouga as she slowly said "just leave." With that said, Kouga left. There was no way that he should stay to find out what Kagome would do next.
Than Kagome turned around to face Inuyasha. His eyes were a little wide and he whimpered as Kagome flintched in pain. There was no way that she could get this cleaned up alone. But it was also too late to call anyone since the only people she ever talks to, once in a while are at work and were working late tonight.
Not being able to do anything else, she went to her room and laid on her side. Inuyasha followed her. When he saw her facing the wall from her bed, he whimpered in worry. There was just the thought of seeing Kagome in pain that made him so upset. He didn't like seeing her in this kind of pain. Or any pain. He wasn't sure why though.
Kagome whispered "you can come up here if you want Inuyasha." Without any other word being said, Inuyasha hoped up on the bed and laid next to Kagome. When he laid down, Kagome had wrapped her arm over his back. She felt really scared right now. Why did she always get attacked by something? It isn't fair... Why her? It's always her...
"I wish... I wish that I wouldn't get attacked anymore... I wish I had some kind of protector... Seems silly doesn't it Inuyasha?" Said a slightly upset Kagome.
Inuyasha stared at her. His eyes were bright, as they told her that it wasn't silly. Kagome could only smile. It felt strange to talk to a dog, but it also felt so right to talk to Inuyasha. Of course, she couldn't quite tell why it did. Before she could say anything else, she fell asleep.
Kagome was running in the darkness. A wolf was chasing her. It wanted her blood. Her death. It just wanted her dead! That was all the wolf cared about. Kagome just wanted to get away. She's had this dream since she was a little girl. Ever since that day happened. There was no running away. Her body still sore from what happened with Kouga. Even though it happened in real life, and this is a dream... It was still there.
Kagome was starting to run out of breath. Her lungs were on fire from the contact running. Her legs couldn't run anymore. But she just kept on running. She didn't want to stop of risk getting killed by the wolf that had failed to finish her off when she was so young. Her thoughts of what was about to happed had changed. For she had tripped on a rock. The wolf had jumped, ready to finish what he had started.
Kagome screamed out of fear as she cried out "someone help me!" Her eyes shut tightly. She was too afraid to open them watching as the wolf would rip her to shreds. But.... it never happened. When Kagome opened her eyes, standing before her was a man. His hair long and silver, wearing red hakamas and a matching haori. He flexed his claws as a way of telling the wolf to get lost. There was no way that this wolf was getting past the man, Kagome could say that was for sure.
When the wolf ran away, the man turned around and held out his hand. Kagome took his hand and he helped her up. Than, Kagome saw that he has golden eyes, tan skin and atop his head are a pair of silver..... dog ears!? As soon as she saw those, she wanted to run. Her fear had reached a new level right now. Her back was now against the wall that had appeared behind her. There was no way that she could get away now.
The man had his hand on Kagome's chin and tilted her head to the side. He saw the blood on her cheek and whispered "your bleeding..." Than Kagome felt him lick the blood off her cheek. That of course, freaked her out a bit. Why is he doing this!? When she opened her eyes, she saw that his eyes were staring back at her. There was something about his eyes. What ever it was, she wasn't sure. There was some kind of strange emotion that she's never seen before.
But it was like he didn't want her to be afraid of him. It was like he only wanted to help her. Was that true? Did he only want to help? Than she heard him whisper "I only want to help you Kagome. I'll be your protector... Nothing will harm you ever again. If you need me... I'll be there... I promise you." Kagome stared at him with surprise. How did he know her name...? Why would he want to protect her? And... and is he even real?
"What's your name?" Asked Kagome in a soft voice. The man only smiled at her. He could still see her fear. But her fear wasn't of him. But it was the fear of her thinking that this was a dream and that she would be alone again. He knew that. But she shouldn't worry.
"My name's... well.... you can call me Inu." Said the silver haired man. Kagome nodded slowly. She's heard that name some where before. But where? Where did she hear that name? When she reached out to him, wanting to make sure that he was real, he moved away saying "you're going to wake up... But don't worry... I'll protect you... in both the dream world and the waking world... All you have to do is believe in me..."
With that said, Kagome had woken up.
Kagome was now in her room. Inuyasha was sleeping next to her. All Kagome could do was smile at the dog. When she touched her cheek to see if the blood was gone, there was something else gone as well. The cut... it was gone!? How!? That just wasn't possible! Unless... the man in her dream... was real.....? Kagome jumped from her bed and looked in the mirror. It really was gone... Kagome screamed with joy. Inuyasha stared at her.
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha saying "my cuts gone Inuyasha! It's gone! Now, all I have to do is go to a hospital for the cuts on my back..." Than Kagome saw Inuyasha turn away, but as soon as she did, she swore that she saw Inuyasha smirking.
