Inuyasha sat on the bed and looked around, if he counted correctly there was only three bedrooms, one being the room Kagome was in, his was in the room at the end of the hall, well maybe it wasn't going to be his but he liked putting his stuff out of the way so he doesn't trip on it later, the other room was located across from Kagome's room. Getting up he left the room and made his way to stairs the stairs, only to nearly run into the girl that had been in the bedroom. They bumped into each other falling, Inuyasha nearly landing on Kagome when he used his quick reflexes to move his arm around so that he supported her neck and head. He used his other arm to break the fall as he looked at her wide blue eyes, he could hear both their heart beating rapidly after the event, her heart sounded like a bird fluttering around inside her as they looked at each other. He could have moved but he didn't really want to let her up, he blamed the more demon half of him for wanting to stare at her, she was indeed pretty with her raven hair and blue eyes. In that moment he wanted to protect not just from Naraku, but from whatever made her sad or threatened to hurt her, he barely did anything physical and already he was panting like, well a dog.
"Uh. . . Sorry." She whispered breathlessly as Inuyasha snapped back into reality, blinking he put a wall up around what he was feeling not wanting her to see what he felt. Beside it wasn't like she'd want anything to do with a half demon like him, that's when he heard a voice from behind him.
"I'm I intruding?" He heard Miroku say as he quickly moved away.
"No! I was going to go down stairs when I tripped over her. Can't have the witness forgetting everything she saw." He barked at Miroku, who's lecherous smile disappeared from his face.
"If you say so." He shrugged before extending his hand to Kagome to help her off the ground.
"I'm sorry about our friend Inuyasha, he's really just all bark and-" Miroku began as Inuyasha glared at him.
"Miroku!" He snapped as he heard Kagome let out a small giggle, he flicked his ear at the sound of it before shaking his head.
"We'll anyway I'm Miroku and that is Inuyasha. If anything happens just shout, someone should hear you." As Miroku said this Inuyasha got the sneaking suspicion that Miroku was directing it more toward him.
"Thank you. . . And I'm Kagome." She stated, looking at Miroku, when she said her name though she glanced at Inuyasha before heading hurrying down stairs. Inuyasha watched her retreating figure before he realized Miroku had been staring at him.
"Oh you got it bad." He said as Inuyasha scowled.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Inuyasha barked as Miroku simply grinned and rubbed Inuyasha's hair.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually." Miroku said with his stupid smile as Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at the monk and got off the floor, going down stairs to figure out the night watch.
