Gracie nods slowly and blushes as he carries her deep into the demon infested forest. She holds on to him gently as he moves swiftly through the thick trees. She stares at his dog ears unable to deny the desire she has to touch them.
Inuyasha looks at her a moment and rolls his eyes. He says with a smirk, "You are not going to touch my ears. So stop thinking about it." She looks away from him and says, "I'm sorry about staring. I have never seen anyone with animal traits before." He smirks again and says, "Most half demons have animal traits and therefore, are easy to spot. So the full fledge demons kill most of us before we have a chance to live."
She looks at him sadly and says, "I am a target because I am of a different race. I endure emotional abuse and several beating a day at school for no good reason. Then I put on a fake smile for my parents." Inuyasha looks at her thinking, "She is human and she is still an outcast. Maybe just maybe she would understand my pain." He looks away from her calmly, not wanting to be accused of staring.
Gracie looks at the trees around them as he ran through the forest like it was nothing. Soon enough though, he stops and puts her down gently on the ground. She looks at him as he heads to a large hand built hut. She follows after him unable to take her eyes off his home. He looks back at her once their inside and says after seeing her stare at things in his home, "I know it is not much, but it's safe."
She looks at Inuyasha and says with a smile, "Your house is beautiful Inuyasha…" He smirks some as she watches her explore his home with a child like wonder he has never seen in a woman before. He looks at her unique features. Her blond hair was a strange thing to see but he did not mind that. Her blue eyes were scary to look into.
They made him feel like he was looking into his soul and he was afraid of what she might find. She appears in front of him and asks, "Why do you keep staring at me?" He says with a smirk, "I was not staring at you, I was thinking and you happened to be in my line of view." She jumps some and says, "Oh I am sorry for assuming that you were staring at me."
He looks at her as she backs away from him. He grabs her arm gently and says, "I'm sorry I did not mean to snap at you." She looks up at him still uneasy because of his tone. Her blue eyes capture his for a moment and his body goes completely relaxed.
He says, "I did not mean to frighten you." His voice was barely above a whisper. She looks away from him not wanting to hold him in the trance she apparently holds over him. She says, "I don't do well with people being angry with me." He finally is able to look away from her. He says calmly, "I really did not mean to yell at you."
Inuyasha looks at her as she looks at his paintings of Kagome and Kikyo he had done before while he was free. She says, "They both used you and then through you away like you were a used up piece of trash. I hate them for what they did to you."
