Yeah, two reviews…
Disclaimer: I no own Inuyasha.
Kagome sat irritably on the couch, watching the man wander around her house. She let out a snarl when he went trotting up the stairs. Kagome stood to follow him
"He won't get lost, ya know." Miroku spoke from the chair in front of the fire place.
"I know I just don't want him poking around." Kagome turned around, her long black hair twisting to one side of her neck.
"He grew up here." Miroku drew a long breath from his pipe.
"This is my home now, and I want him out!" Kagome bellowed, bounding up the stairs.
"Yes mam." Miroku rolled his eyes.
Inuyasha stiffened when he heard the woman yell. His demon side called for him to go and comfort his mate.
"Shut up for once," he murmured to it.
He opened the door that used to lead to his childhood room, only to stare in surprise. It was the same way he had left it. When he caught a whiff of the sweet vanilla scent, he slowly turned around to face her.
"Which one are you?" Kagome asked him.
"Pardon?" Inuyasha asked her back.
"Papa said he had two sons, which one are you?"
Inuyasha growled. How dare she speak of his father as if he was her own? All Inuyasha had to do was think of his father and he knew why. More than likely she was alone, and he had taken her under his wing. That old man was something.
"His youngest, Inuyasha. I am here to meet with you and find out why my father didn't leave a dime to me or my brother, just you." Inuyasha stared into her blue eyes, almost enchanted by it.
"You were never to find out he had passed away…" Kagome trailed off, looked at the floor, ashamed.
"Why?"
"Papa said his eldest might take it away from me and then I would have no where to live. Papa said that he would hurt me." Kagome answered him shyly.
"Oh," was all Inuyasha could say. No wonder Sesshomaru sounded so surprised when he had called him. Shoot, how was he supposed to protect her from his mistake.
"I apologize."
Inuyasha head shot up. 'What in the world?'
"I thought you were his eldest son, and I became afraid that you wouldn't find Papa here, and then kick me out. This is really the only place I have," Kagome told Inuyasha, softly tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, "I was a runaway, I was alone until I met Papa, he took me home and took care of me. I was so happy until he died. Then you came and I was scared that you were… well you know. I am sorry for how I treated you."
"Stop, you're rambling." Inuyasha walked over to her. He gently took her chin in her hand, and made her look at him. "I will protect you from my brother. He more than likely will try to take the place for some big store thing, but I won't let him. You need to work with me, okay?" Inuyasha felt the sudden urge to protect her, care for her.
"Okay," she whispered.
"Atta girl." Inuyasha gathered her into his arms.
"Papa said I shouldn't let strangers hold me." A voice from in his arms spoke.
"Yeah," Inuyasha didn't know how to respond to that. He really was a stranger to her, but he had no intention to hurt her. He sighed. His father knew how to feed things into peoples minds.
"I won't hurt you." He promised her.
"Mm, okay." He felt her relax against him, her arms draping lazily around his waist.
"You don't mind if I spend the night do you?" he asked, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Nope…"
Yeah, maybe I will get more than 2 reviews in the space of the month. But if not, I shall write this story for the mere happiness it gives me. I like this idea a lot!!
