2-3-2016: REVISED

Kagome's face flushed with anger as she stomped her foot and rushed at him.

Inuyasha was taken completely off guard and he suddenly found himself flat on his back. Some of the women over the years had enjoyed dabbling in the more violent aspects of passion, but something told him that was NOT what was happening here. She was now straddling his waist; her hands bracing her against his shoulders; her delectable breasts dangling right in his face as she heaved for breath. She was speaking to him but the words were drowned out by the rush of blood the filled his ears and other parts of his anatomy. She was just too damn beautiful when she was angry. Angry might even be putting it lightly. This woman was livid. 'Hmmm, wonder what she would do if I...'

Kagome gasped at the feel of something warm and wet encompassing her left nipple through her t-shirt. 'Damn the man.' He just couldn't seem to stop. One minute he was insulting her, and then he was molesting her. It wasn't something a normal person would be used to dealing with, and Kagome would classify herself as normal. Her hormones were already in disarray from his lack of clothing, and she couldn't seem to think straight. She didn't recognize herself right now. The sensations he was evoking within her were sweeping her along on a wave of pure emotion. His left hand was creeping along her lower back. Suddenly she felt a breeze upon her heated skin. It was then that she realized that Inuyasha had run his claws all the way down her shirt; top to bottom, and she hadn't even heard the sound. The man had a talent, if one could call it that. Yet, she wasn't normally a loose woman who lost her head at the first contact of a sexy man. She had fallen for that ploy once in her life, and she wasn't about to let it happen again. One broken heart was already one too many. When she felt him lift his mouth to switch breasts, she jerked her body backwards with enough force that she found herself on her backside. Her body shook with the sudden jarring from her landing and the overhaul of raging hormones she couldn't seem to control. She looked into his face as he cursed viciously. He obviously hadn't been expecting that. 'Good for him, that son of a bitch. No one touches me like that without my consent. Not even a sexy love slave from a story book.'

"What the hell is wrong with you!? You are the wench who summoned me. Now you can't seem to stand the sight of me. What the hell did you fucking summon me for?!"

"I didn't summon because I needed to get laid you bastard. I didn't even think you were real until you just appeared in my house. I thought that book and the story behind it was just a joke."

"You think this is a joke?! Are you fucking kidding me?! My eternal damnation is a fucking joke to you. Listen here bitch, I bet you haven't gotten laid in years, if ever. Why the fuck would any man want to touch a prude psycho woman like you! You blow cold and hot with every passing second. You must make everyone around you crazy."

Kagome felt like someone had ripped her heart out; stomped on it; cut it into pieces, and then shoved it into a blender and pressed the "liquidate" button. The pain she felt was surprising, seeing as how she barely knew this man. The fact that he felt this way after only knowing her for maybe an hour seemed to validate every horrible thing that had even been said to her by previous lovers. She was completely immobile for several moments until suddenly she snapped. A cry was wrenched from her throat as she whirled around and sprinted up the stairs into her bathroom. Cutting her off from the man sitting on her kitchen floor, who suddenly didn't look so angry.

The slamming of a door somewhere upstairs gave Inuyasha the shock he needed to realize exactly what he had just said. He knew he had a temper and that he let it get the better off him sometimes, but right now he wished he had better control of himself. He shouldn't have said what had been on his mind, but as soon as he started talking the words just burst forth from his mouth. He'd never lost control like this, except when he was talking to his brother, but that was a whole different situation. It was really pathetic when one took their anger out on a poor, defenseless woman. Alright...maybe not so defenseless as one would think, she did pack quite a punch for such a tiny woman. 'Aww, hell. Better go apologize.' If there was one thing he hated doing more than anything else, it would have to be apologies. As he made his way up the stairs he could hear the sounds of her crying all the way through her door and down the hallway. He didn't know exactly why the words he said affected her so much, but there must be something there that he didn't know about. 'Stupid wenches with their stupid wounded pasts.' He reached her door and lightly knocked, heedless of the fact that he was still nude. Her muffled "Go away" did nothing to deter him from coming into her room. When the door opened and he walked in, she was laying on her bed. She was turned away from him with her arms wrapped tightly around herself. He could smell the tears that were probably coursing down her face, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He hadn't meant to hurt her, the damn woman just set his nerves on edge. She also set his desires aflame and made him long for things he could never have. Stupid human emotions.

"Hey wen-...Kagome, I didn't mean to make you cry. I've been tucked away from the world for a long time and I usually say things without thinking them through. Especially since talking isn't really the kind of thing I get summoned to do. I've actually never been attacked by my summoner without the intent to fuck. I'm not actually sure what is going on here right now."

Kagome took a minute to think about what he had just said. He did seem genuinely apologetic, and the offering of some information about his own past was a boon. She had attacked him without thinking about his side of the situation. She couldn't even wrap her mind around the fact that this man had been inside a book only a little while ago, and she still wasn't sure how this could be reality instead of some dream. When she had been silent for a moment too long, Inuyasha seemed to think she was still mad. He sighed in frustration and then took a seat on the bed next to her, gently rolling her to face him. She focused her gaze upon his well toned chest and stared. She knew he wanted her to look him in the eyes, but she couldn't seem to do that. She didn't know what to expect, but she didn't want to see pity for her on his handsome face. She knew that her love life wasn't anything to get excited about, but to have some extremely attractive person you didn't know tell you that...it just hurt.

"Come on Kagome. Look at me. I'm s-sorry. Damn it, just stop pouting like a child! How old are you! Act your fucking age."

"You son of a bitch!"

Kagome jackknifed into a sitting position. Who was he to tell her what to do! 'Stupid bastard.'

"I am NOT a child, dog boy, and I am NOT pouting! I'm thinking of ways of killing you slowly and painfully. You rat bastard!"

Inuyasha almost smiled. 'That got her going.' He had already noticed that when she got angry, she would forget about the current situation and start screaming at him. She had a lot of fire in her. She was the kind of woman you could grow old with and never get bored. 'Woah, where the hell did a thought like that come from!" Best to keep those kinds of thoughts to himself and bury them deep. The last thing he needed to do was become emotionally attached to this woman when he would disappear from her life in a short moon cycle. Suddenly Inu was made aware of his nudity by the gentle brush of her body against his bare leg as she shifted to get more comfortable on the bed.

"Ah, you wouldn't happen to have any clothes that I could wear would you?"

"Oh! I forgot! Let me check my drawers. I probably have some sweat pants and a shirt that could fit you."

Kagome quickly jumped up and scurried away from the nude sex god that was sitting on her bed. Damn, but the man was down right sexy. 'Out! Get out of my mind you dirty thoughts! Focus Kagome. Clothes.' It took her several moments before she was able to locate clothing that would fit him. She tossed the clothes to him and ordered him to go into the bathroom to change. As he shut the door to the bathroom, Kagome realized that he probably had not eaten anything since he had been out of the book last, whenever that was. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. The refrigerator yielded some oden that she could reheat, but sadly her pantry yielded only a few packs of instant ramen and some canned vegetables. 'Time to go grocery shopping.' She got a pan out and filled it with water; setting it to boil on the stove. She was just straining the noodles as Inu walked into the kitchen.

"What the hell smells so good?"

"That would probably be the ramen I'm making. I didn't know if you would want them soup style or not so I decided to make them my favorite way, just noodles."

"Whatever it is, it smells great. I never would have pegged you as a good cook."

Kagome just snorted and turned back to the noodles in front of her. She poured them back into the pot with a little bit of water and added the seasoning packets. She mixed the noodles together with the seasoning and dished them out into two bowls. After she put the bowls on the table in the dining room, she returned to grab some glasses of water. Once the two of them had sat down to eat, Kagome decided it was as good a time as any to start asking some questions of the hanyou in front of her.

"So, how long have you been inside that book?"

"It used to be a scroll, and what year is it now?"

"It's 2006."

"Then I have been inside of that scroll for a little over 500 years."

"Holy shit! I can't believe this is real! What's it like inside there?"

Inuyasha took so long in answering that Kagome almost thought he wasn't going to offer her an answer. Finally he looked up, straight into her eyes, and began to speak.

"It's dark. Pitch black in fact. There is no sound. I can't breathe, but I don't need to. I can't eat, and yet I don't need to do that either. I hunger and thirst, yet neither are available to me. I cannot die, and so I cannot escape the infinite darkness present within. All I have to keep me company are my memories and the weight of my solitude. My life thus far plays through my head until I am once more summoned to sate another's lust. I have no refuge from the memories of people using my body for their own needs while being denied my own, nor from the memories of how I came to be entrapped inside that cursed book."

Inuyasha didn't know where all of this was coming from. He had never opened up with another soul except his mother. No one else had ever cared. Yet, it seemed natural to talk to Kagome as openly as he was. He could sense no pity for him, nor see it shining in her eyes. She obviously felt sorrow for him, but not pity. The woman was just too damn amicable for his own good. He knew what she was going to ask next. How could she not ask it when he had ended his outburst on the note that he had? He wasn't ready to answer that question. It still hurt to see the one whom he had thought accepted him dying, while cursing his name. Then being sucked into that accursed scroll...

"How did you...?"

Kagome was cut off as Inuyasha abruptly stood up and left the room. She was stunned at how quickly he had closed his emotions and thoughts off. One minute he was all talk and telling her about the scroll and the next moment he was walking away without a single word as to why. The nurturing soul inside of her longed to follow him and offer what comfort she could. Yet, she could tell he would not welcome that from her right now. There must be quite a story to hear about his entrapment within the book, if it upset him to this degree.

The ringing of her phone snapped Kagome out of her revelry. She answered the call to find it was Sango.

"So, how did it go? Did he appear after I left? That book has to work! Miroku said he could feel a definite presence inside! Details woman! Am I interrupting anything?! Tell me I'm interrupting your ravishment!"

"Slow down Sango! Yes actually, he did appear. Miracle as that is, he is not in a very good mood right now. I think I asked some questions he wasn't ready to answer. I might have struck a deep chord without meaning to. No, you did not interrupt anything, we are not having sex! You know I could never have sex with someone I just met. It just isn't in my nature."

"Damn, I was hoping that it might be different if he was sort of mythical. Might have that dream quality to it, you know? As for the poor mood, maybe getting out of your house would do him some good. Tomorrow night, Miroku and I were going to head down by the bay to have dinner. You two should join us and we could do a double date. What do you say to that? Plus, we REALLY want to meet him!"

"I'll have to ask Inuyasha if he is interested in doing that. I'm not going to make him do anything he doesn't want to do. I'll call you tomorrow morning and let you know if we are a-go."

"Ok, don't forget to call me! I'll see you tomorrow Kagome. I have to go, Miroku is acting up again."

"Ok, Bye Sango."

"Bye."

Kagome shut off the phone and turned to set it back in its cradle when she saw Inuyasha standing in the door and looking at her with a weird look upon his face. She could tell that he was curious about the little piece of plastic and metal but that it was more than that. Deciding not to press him about earlier, she instead focused on tomorrow night's possible festivities.

"What do you say to going out into town tomorrow? A couple of my friends are going to dinner and wanted to know if we wanted to tag along with them. It will give you time to check out this world and get out of my house. It could be fun."

"I guess. It's not like I have anything better to do with my time. Well actually WE have something better to do with our time, but I don't think you'll like my ideas."

Kagome saw that hungry look over take his face as his gaze flowed over her body from head to toe, lingering in a few choice spots. A flush crept up her face and down her neck, but she shook her head.

"No, I don't think I'll like that idea too much."

"Oh, you'd like it, once we got started. I can promise you that."

"Stop it you horny man. Unlike you, my brain is not consumed with thoughts of sex. It's getting late and I need time to sleep anyway."

The two made their way upstairs, Inuyasha chuckling as he followed Kagome to her bedroom. His laughing stopped as soon as she handed him a pillow and a blanket and told him that he could sleep on the floor.

"Awww, hell no! I'm not some dog to curl up at your feet and settle on the floor, you stupid bitch!"

"Humph! Well you aren't sleeping in this bed with me. We both know that when you get too close, you loose control of your body and begin to touch things that you shouldn't touch. That is off the table for offering tonight. So, you can sleep on the floor until we figure something else out."

Inuyasha agreed reluctantly, knowing that as soon as she went to sleep he would creep up into bed with her. As she settled down and turned the light out, he thought of what tomorrow would bring. The world had obviously continued on without him there to enjoy it. When he heard a soft snore he moved to the side of the bed and slipped in along side her. She was warm and cuddly and Inuyasha immediately fell asleep once he settled her within the circle of his arms. The two slept soundly having no idea how crazy their lives were about to become.
