Chapter 3: Bumps In The Road

Snapping out of their dazes after sniffing what seemed to be ramen, the 3 people looked at the hanyou scoffing down what seems to be his 10th bowl of the 2 minute noodles. Feeling 3 pairs of eyes on him, Inuyasha looked up, irritated at the staring teens,

"Whff?!" He snapped, mouth full of ramen. The 3 continued to stare at the steaming cup of noodles before the hanyou swallowed and stood up in a defence stance,

"Oh no! This is my ramen! You 3 drooling dumbasses get your own!" He snapped. The 3 heard him loud and clear and broke their intent gaze from the noodles. 10 minutes past of the silence, then Kagome stood up silently.

"Uh... I should get home, my family haven't seen me for a whole day so they might be worried..." Her voice died down when Sango stood up.

"Kagome, you shouldn't go home alone, it's way to dangerous! We wouldn't want to save you again!" Inuyasha coughed and Sango glared at him before rephrasing her comment.

"I mean, we wouldn't want Inuyasha saving you again" She said with a roll of the eyes, said hanyou stepped foward still slurping his noodles like he'd never been fed.

"I'll tafe fer fohme" He managed to say. Sango was about to step in when Miroku stood up,

"Good idea Inuyasha, get her home saftly and make sure your brothers minions don't get her this time." Sango looked at Miroku in disbelief but Miroku just gave her a wink and a silent nod to Inuyasha who nodded back and grabbed a hold of Kagome's hand, leading her to the front door.

"Seeya soon" He shouted over his shoulder, obviously the 10th bowl of ramen was already gone.

X-X-X

Walking home in a deadly silence, Kagome looked anywhere but at Inuyasha, Inuyasha on the other hand was eyeing Kagome with an intent golden gaze. She could feel his gaze on her and gulped. He heard her gulp and smirked, reaching out to grab her hand, he intwined his fingers with her delecate fragile ones. Kagome looked at the recent contact then up at him with a curious, fearful look. He just smirked wider.

"So you don't get lost." He replied innocently like he'd read her mind. She feared for the worst and tugged her hand out of his grip. She looked back up at him but the gaze she recieved looked almost hurt?

"Why are you..." She choked on her words, "Why are you doing this?" She asked looking head on. He looked down at her with a confused expression.

"Doing what?" He asked.

"Taking me home, You're a demon... You can kill me right now and could get away with it... I know all demon's hate Higurashi's, especially me..." She looked back at him to study his face, but the look on his face couldn't be read and she sighed. "Nevermind..." She spoke softly. Inuyasha caught the disappointment in her voice and sighed. After what seemed like forever in a new eerie silence, Inuyasha spoke up,

"I don't." He aswered her.

Looking up to meet a golden gaze, she had confusion written on her face again.

"Don't what?" She asked.

"I don't hate you, and I'm NOT a demon Kagome, I'm a hanyou..." He sighed. This girl just didn't seem to understand the difference between a hanyou, human and demon, which is why what she next said suprised him.

"Being a hanyou classifies you as a demon AND human. Meaning you still are a demon Inuyasha, Just half, not to mention half human, which makes your soul good. I truly want demons and humans to get along but I've not met one demon who is willing to make a friendship with a human. You can change this! You can fix the problems with demon and human! You can help me!"

At first, Inuyasha looked at her as if she were crazy. He spoke his thoughts,

"I can't help you, No demon see's me as what you seem to see me as, and no human does too. It's impossible to get a filthy half breed to fit in this type of world we live in now." He spoke in a low voice but Kagome could hear the hurt in his voice, how no one would listen to him if he tried to speak up, how no one would accept him for who he was. How he was forced to be born as a hanyou.

"Just like me..." She spoke her thoughts thinking she'd said them in her head, the hanyou beside her stopped causing her to stop and glance back at him with confusion.

"What?" She asked him curiously. He looked at her, trying to figure her out but found nothing so he broke the gaze and shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothin'" He said in a gruff tone. 10 more minutes seemed to pass and day turned into night, Kagome heard a low beeping sound and looked at her watch, her eyes widening in fear.

"Fuck!" She cursed and Inuyasha was about to say something when someone's hands grabbed the girl he was with and tugged her into... An embrace?

"Kagome... Are you alright?" The voice was so gentle, so romantically said, so... Koga like... Kagome sighed and pushed out of his embrace.

"I'm fine Koga" She spoke with a faultered smile and looked at the hanyou who seemed to be emitting a warning growl and a strange devil look in his eyes. Kagome widened her eyes and was about to comfort the hanyou when Koga pushed her behind him and glared at the hanyou who only seemed to growl louder when he touched Kagome with those wolf claws.

"Why are you with my Kagome mutt-face?" He sneered. Those 2 word's set him off.

'My Kagome...'

Inuyasha began to turn, his beautiful golden orbs changing to a lustful devil red colour, his delicate nails growing twice as long, his silver tresses growing a tad longer and his feline fangs growing over his bottom lip. He seemed to be growling a loud warning sign to Koga who ignored it. Kagome started freaking out,

'I have to stop this' She thought as she got the courage to step out from behind Koga who seemed to be protesting and infront of Inuyasha. He growled at her presence but still continued to glare warningly at Koga. Kagome gently brought her hand up to cup Inuyasha's cheek which seemed to get him to stop growling and look down at her, she looked back up at him and saw in his eyes that their was a lust look with fear, scared and something else she couldn't put her finger on. She went to lower her hand to see that he had finally calmed down only to be caught in the giant clawed hands again, but gently they were brought back up to his face and made her cup his cheek again, this time with his hand over hers, preventing it to escape.

"My Kagome..." He growled out. Kagome looked stunned, she tried to gently pry her hand out of his strong one but he was having none of that. He growled in disapproval.

"Stop, do not try that" He growled out again. Kagome froze, she looked over her shoulder to notice that they were alone, Koga must of left. Kagome started to panic, she looked around the place only to realize it's pitch black and she was still a good 30 minutes away from her house. Inuyasha could sense her fear and growled deep again, with one swift movement, he pulled her up against his body and nuzzled her neck where she was up against his back. All Kagome could do was stay frozen. Being this close to a demon was making her blood rise and her heart beat increase. But it's a different feeling, after all, this was Inuyasha.

"My Kagome..." He growled out again and began licking the spot on her neck he was currently nuzzling. Kagome fell against his body limp. He growled and looked down at her, she passed out. Growling for the 100th time, he swiftly picked her up bridal style and carried her to his house failing to notice a pair of blue orbs followed by two pairs of brown ones watch in the distance.

"Koga... Lady Kagome..." One of the brown eyed men said. The blue orbs seeped into the retreating form of Inuyasha until he was no longer visible in his eyes, he then turned to gaze upon his comrads,

"Ginta, Hakkaku, follow the mutt and make sure he doesn't do anything to my Kagome." He sneered out. With a quick 'yes sir' from both of his cousins and a bow, they left his presence. Koga looked at the sky to see the first star of the night,

'My Kagome...' He thought before he ran off in the wind, not noticing the pair of green eyes bore into him. The green pools watched his retreating figure before turning around the corner and lean all her body strength against the wall to keep her balanced.

"Koga..." She breathed out before regaining her posture and adventuring home.

X-X-X

Walking into the front door, A boy with short brown hair and brown chocolate eyes searched the living area 'Sister should be home' He thought to himself starting to worry, that is until he heard a loud noise that sounded like a slap across the face followd by "FUCKING HENTAI!". The boy mused to himself, 'He... Is perfect!' without even giving it another thought, he skipped to the living room to see a boy about his sisters age with a red hand print across his face while the girl he recognised as his sister seemed anything but pleased, but the light blush that tainted her cheeks seem to say otherwise.

"Sister, I'm home." The boy greeted his sister with a small grin and Sango looked up to see the glint in his eyes, 'Oh NO!' she thought, she knew that look all too well. It was known as the 'Operation: GSAB. Get Sango A Boyfriend look and there was no way she would let her little brother approve of this... this... this lecture! She was making cutting motions near her neck sending the boy a death glare but of course, he chose to ignore it. Walking up to properly get a good look at the man who seemed to be in a daze by the slap, he stopped and slowly raised his hand infront of the boys face.

"Hello?" He said brilliantly, as if it broke his daze, which it did, the lecturous pervert looked down at the boy and smiled a dazzling smile.

"Hello, I wonder, would you happen to be lovely Sango's younger brother? Kohaku was it?" He asked politely looking over at Sango who seemed to be making annoyed grunts. The boy known as Kohaku nodded and held out his hand to shake the mans before him,

"The one and only" He smiled a toothey grin, Miroku, already taken a liking to the boy, gladely reached out and shook his hand with his own then leaned down so only Kohaku could hear,

"Between you and me," He whispered so low, Kohaku could barely catch what he said "Your sister is hot! Not to mention, sexy when she's mad." He winked down at Kohaku who looked at Miroku with a gleam of pride, secretly making a plan in his head.

'The wedding will be in less then a year!' He inwardly cheered. He looked up to the scene before him taking place, Sango must of heard what he said because now she was strangling Miroku like there was no tomorrow. Kohaku laughed.

'Maybe sooner' and with that last thought, he bolted to his room and picked up his phone.

X-X-X

There was some yelling, then there was some things breaking and all the boy who seemed to be so intense in his video game sighed,

'If father is so worried about her, maybe he should realize that I should have the mark passed down, not her...' he thought sadly, his father wouldn't stop yelling at his mother and vise versa. All because his sister has been gone a whole day.

'She's fine...' He confirmed in his head.

'She's old enough to take care of her self'. Just then, the phone rang, realizing his parents were too busy yelling at each other, he ought to get the phone so without further ado, he paused his game, got up and made his was to the kitchen where the phone dock lay.

"Hello?" The boy spoke in a bored tone as he picked up the receiver and placed it to his ear.

"Hey Souta, It's Kohaku, I just got home" The boy in the receiver said.

"Kohaku! Hey!" Souta exclaimed, he seemed like his tone changed completly after hearing his best friend's voice. A loud crash was heard on Souta's side and Souta sighed dramatically.

"Kill me Kohaku, please..." He begged. He could imagine Kohaku roll his eyes.

"What is going on over there? Did you throw a wild house party and not invite me?!" Kohaku gasped in fake shock, Souta, knowing Kohaku was playing around, grinned and played along.

"Yep! Whole house is filled with babes in bikinis, dude you're really missin' out man!" He shouted in an almost manly voice. He heard Kohaku laugh on the other end but stopped completely before saying something he didn't mean to slip out.

"Is Kagome one of them?" Then as fast as he said it, he slapped his hand over his mouth. Souta, In utter shock had to do a double take and asked just to make sure,

"What did you just say?" He was really curious, If his best friend really said that then...

"N-nothing! Uh, I g-gotta go n-now... I'll see you tommorow! B-bye Souta!" And then the line went dead. Souta stood there still as a stick then ever so slowly, removed the receiver from his head and stared at it before putting it back on the hook and backing away silently. He turned around before walking back to his seat infront of his video game, screen flashing the 'PAUSED' word. He silently sat down and picked up his controller. Just as his thumb was about to press over the pause button to un pause the game, a womans voice came from the doorway to his room.

"Who was that honey? Was it Kagome?" With just hearing his mother say her name, he froze. His best friend. Kohaku Hira. The words rang through his head on replay...

"Yep! Whole house is filled with babes in bikinis, dude you're really missin' out man!"

"Is Kagome one of them?"

...

"Yep! Whole house is filled with babes in bikinis, dude you're really missin' out man!"

"Is Kagome one of them?"

...

"Yep! Whole house is filled with babes in bikinis, dude you're really missin' out man!"

"Is Kagome one of them?"

...

Poor little Souta did the only thing he could do, he screamed.

It was now fully dark and she awoke to soft jelly under her, or was it just a deflated matress? She guessed the latter but shrugged and blinked a couple times to adjust her eyes. She took in the room before her. The walls, though the room was dark, looked like they were painted silver with gold streaks running down every 6 inches. She slowly stood from her laying position and fell back down, she was still a bit dizzy and she was trying to figure out where the hell she was? She needs to get home. Her mother and father are probably by now ripping the house apart limb from limb. Her gaze suddenly fell on the door. Taking a few peeks left and right, she noticed the coast was clear so she stood up again, this time making her balance perfectly fine before she sped walked to the door, reaching out to it, she stopped just as her fingers glazed the knob as she heard a low rumbling sound from right behind her.

'Dare I look up' She thought with fear eminating off her body, she felt like she was in a horror film. The kind when people jump out of no where and rip you limb from limb, smiling while doing it. She gulped. She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped back removing one of her shoes from her feet and successfully chucking it at the rumbling object. A few seconds later, she heard a yelp and the sound of stumbling feet fall backwards. She inwardly fistbumped the air.

'Thank god for archery lessons...' She thought happily.

"What did you do that for?" A whimpered like sneer sounded from the ground. She knew that voice. No way...

"Inuyasha...?" She asked curiously before leaning down to see if it was. Narrowing her eyes she saw the ears on his head swirl and she squeaked.

"Oh my god... I'm so sorry! But you really shouldn't get in the way of my shoe" She said sheepishly as she dropped her hand to help him up. He sneered at her hand and helped himself up.

"Your shoe should stay out of my way" He snapped back. He sounded grumpy for some reason and Kagome didn't want to sound nosy but something was clearly bothering him.

"Are you alright?" She asked anyway. She didn't care. After all, she was nosy. He looked at her as if she were stupid and snorted in response. He swiftly moved around her and proceeded to the door of what she would think is his bedroom. Her voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Can you tell me how I got here? Before I call my family and let them know," She pulled out her cell and looked at the screen, she had over 10 messages from Sango about where the hell she was and reminding her she had a test and she owed her lunch. She rolled her eyes and deleted all of them before stopping at missed calls from her family's home number, which seemed to have around 20 odd missed calls, she gaped at her phone. Her parents must really be worried about her. She bit her lip as she deleted those too, but was surprised when an unknown number had messaged her. Not bothering to look up or ask Inuyasha about it yet, she pulled it up and began reading it in her head.

'You have something that belongs to me Higurashi, and theres only one way I can get it.' She stopped reading it and took a breath she seemed to be holding, looking up from her phone, the door was open and Inuyasha was no where to be seen... She gulped the lodge in her throat and looked back at her small phone screen to continue reading.

'Meet me at the University you attend to tomorrow at lunch time, under the goshinboku tree outside the cafeteria at around 1ish, I shall see you there. I go by the name Onigumo, I already know what you look like dear, and might I remind you that if you even slip up about meeting me, you and the people around you that you care for oh so deeply, will die. Including that knitwit of a halfbreed Inuyasha... Starting with your family of course, the Higurashi's are the biggest threat. But, If you come with not a word spoken about this message to anyone. They shall be spared. I'll see you tomorrow, Dear...' After re-reading the message more then 5 times, she paled so much, she looked like a ghost. She thought for a moment if she should delete the message but decided against it and kept it. Just incase. Now all she had to do was call her family and explain the situation. Just as she was typing their number in, she stopped and played it out in her mind. Actually, she better not... Telling her mother or father about her staying at the Sekushi's did not seem like such a bright idea.

'I'll let them worry rather then them go on a rampage and kill demon's who aren't even hurting me, or at least daddy would...' And with that, she made her way out the door of Inuyasha's bedroom and was ready to get lost in his giant mansion.

'Oh... Greeeeeeeeeat' She sighed and started her long journey with the message tucked in the back of her head for later.
