A/N I won't put a lot of A/Ns in my story, but I forgot to add a disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 2

Inuyasha followed Kagome into the kitchen. They started to clean up the mess left behind. Kagome turned to Inuyasha while they were cleaning, I hope this isn't overstepping my boundaries, but do you have a place to sleep tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm assuming since you came in to get some food that means you don't have a steady home. Am I wrong?"

Inuyasha turned to Kagome. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I always find somewhere to spend the night."

"Listen, my mom is out of town. She went on a cruise. I really do hate spending the nights in the house by myself. It gets very lonely. We have a spare room. Would you stay here with me? At least until my mom comes home?"

"Really, you want to let someone you just met stay with you in your house? what if I was a rapist or a murderer?"

Kagome smiled at Inuyasha. "But you're not. I can see it in your eyes. Please Inuyasha," Kagome begged. "I really would sleep better knowing someone else was in the house with me."

Inuyasha looked into Kagome's deep chocolate eyes. They were shining with unshed tears. One thing Inuyasha couldn't stand was a crying female. "Fine, but only until your mother comes home."

"Oh thank you!" Kagome threw her arms around Inuyasha.

Kagome and Inuyasha finished cleaning the kitchen. Then Kagome led Inuyasha upstairs. She showed him her room and the bathroom. Then she led him to the spare bedroom.

"Thank you again, Inuyasha." Kagome yawned. It's getting late. I'm really tired, so I'm going to bed. Good night."

"Good night Kagome."

Kagome walked to her room and got ready for bed. She pulled on some pajamas and hopped into bed. I can't believe I asked him to stay with me! He probably thinks I'm totally crazy. I really couldn't help it though. There's something about him that makes me feel safe. As she continued to think about Inuyasha she drifted off to sleep.

Inuyasha watched Kagome walk down the hall to her room. He went inside his room and looked around. There was a large bed on one side and a dresser on the other. He didn't have anything to change into, so Inuyasha laid down on the very comfortable looking bed. It was even nicer than it looked.

He stared up at the ceiling. What is going on here? No one is ever nice to me. What could she possibly want from me? It's not like I have anything for her to want. I have almost nothing myself. Inuyasha's mind continued to race until he finally fell asleep.

The next morning Kagome woke up feeling more refreshed than she had since her mom left for her cruise. She jumped out of bed and got ready for the day.

She went downstairs to the kitchen and pulled out all the ingredients for breakfast. Not knowing what kind of food Inuyasha liked she decided to make French toast, scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage and bacon. Just as she finished cooking Inuyasha came down the stairs.

"Wow what is all this?"

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Plus, I didn't know what you liked, so I wanted to make sure there was something you'd eat. Grab a plate and pick what you want."

The two got their breakfasts and sat at the table. When Inuyasha took a bite he felt he had died and gone to heaven. Not only was this more food than he usually saw in a week, but it tasted delicious.

"So, did you have any plans for the day?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"Not really. I do need to do some homework. I guess if I'm going to be staying here I should go get my stuff." He gave Kagome an are-you-sure-you-want-me-to-stay-here look.

"Of course. Why don't you go get your stuff while I clean up? When you get back we can both work on our homework."

"Okay sure."

Inuyasha headed out and Kagome got to work cleaning up. She cleaned the dishes and straightened up from the get together last night. It didn't take her too long. She was just finishing up when Inuyasha came back in. He had his backpack and a small duffel bag.

Kagome looked at how little Inuyasha had. "Is that all you're bringing?"

"That's all I own."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

Inuyasha just shrugged at her and went to go put his stuff in the room.
