Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha!

Her room was lit by the setting sun and a desk lamp which was on. Kagome was writing so fast that she as of now, snapped three of her pencils in half.

"Kagome!" she heard her mother call for her downstairs for dinner. She was almost finished with her homework. Kagome only had one more subject to go in which she hated to death was of course, math. She pushed back on her chair and walked to her door. Midway she looked at Inuyasha, in which he was by her window.

"Hey, don't do anything while i'm gone," she said. He just nodded.

"I mean it. That includes no haunting, levitating, any ghost-like things in here or anywhere for the matter," she finished. Inuyasha grinned at her, oh how she knew that one meant trouble. Kagome made a gesture with her hands in front of her eyes going back and forth towards her and back to him, as if it said,"I'm watching you."

Inuyasha nodded once more,"Alright, wench whatever you say," he told her as he presumed on looking outside the window.

Kagome smiled as she closed the door to her room. Stepping into the dinning room she took note of her brother with his face and eyed immersed to the tv. Her grandfather was scolding him about him getting blind or some random fraudulent disease.

"Hi Kagome, how was school today?" her mother asked her as she stepped out of the kitchen carrying out two bowls of...ramen.

It was one of her favorites, she didn't mind eating it most of the time.

"It was good mama. Actually there was a food fight today, I got apple sauce over my face luckily not my clothing. Ayumi, Yuka and Eri...not so lucky. Oh and um...a boy in my class died yesterday night," Kagome said as her gaze lowered to the food on the table.

"Oh my, that is awful. How?" her mother questioned.

"I don't know. I asked the same thing but he said he didn't know how," Kagome said before she started to eat. When she finished talking her eyes widened at what she just said to her mother. She gradually looked up at her mother in which was looking at her if she simultaneously grew two heads.

Her mother was appalled at what she just heard. "K-Kagome, what did you just say?"

Ohhhhh...crrrraaapppp, she thought as she glanced at her mom. "I said, that um,"Kagome blinked several times,"That, a boy died and um, I asked a boy in my class if he knew but sadly he didn't." Nice cover you dimwit.

"I see," her mother said as she eyed her daughter, seeing if there were any suspisons to see if she just lied, but she didn't find any. Her mother gave Kagome her usual cheerful smiles. "You can eat now, before it turns cold," her mother said before going back in the kitchen.

Kagome let out a sigh of relief and began to gobble up the remaining ramen in her bowl. She then hurriedly went up to her room. She didn't expect to see ghost boy standing in front of the door. She let out an 'eep' and fell on the floor.

"Sweety is everything alright?" her mother asked her from downstairs.

"Everything is a-okay mama!" Kagome retorted as she gazed at Inuyasha was smirked at her, the triangle ears on his head twitched a little.

Kagome couldn't help but stare at them with amazement. They were, now what was one word to describe them, let's see...

"Kawaii," she let out as she still admired them.

Inuyasha rolled his ears,"Good thing i'm dead. I wouldn't want a girl like you touchin' them because it annoys the hell out of me," he told her floating back into the room.

Kagome followed suit, sitting back onto her desk chair. Once seated she turned over her shoulder to look at him.

"So...what's the reason you're here?" she asked him.

He gave her a 'keh' but before he said a word, she quickly added,"Please don't say," she poorly imitated him as she fumbled with crossing her arms,"I dunno," she said in his tone of voice.

Inuyasha grinned at her enough so that she can see his fangs,"I was going to say, a girl," he told her.

Kagome fell off her chair, like anime style, with lines over her head,"So you didn't well, pass on, all because of some girl?" she analytically asked him.

"Yup, cause' of some girl, but when I think of her I only see the back of her head," Inuyasha told her.

Kagome bit the bottom of her lip,"Maybe it was your girlfriend," she asked him.

"Feh, I don't recall myself having one," he retorted as he rolled his eyes.

She merely smiled, but it soon faded,"So what happened earlier with your disappearance earlier? Does that happen all the time?"

"I have no idea why it happens. Although when I disappear and I don't see you anymore, I'm looking at a bright light in front of me, but all I can see is white," he said scratching the top of his head with confusion.

"That sounds...weird," Kagome said to him as she listened and worked on her math homework.

About five minutes of awkward silence passed, Inuyasha broke it," I still want to know why is it you can see me. It's getting me annoyed."

Kagome shrugged,"Don't look at me like that," she said as he eyed her every moment when she got papers from drawer in her desk.

"I'm still a little unease to believe that I'm talking to you now. As for an answer to your question, I have no idea what so-"

"Kagome? Who are you talking to?"

"Souta...um no one really," she said as she looked towards the wide open door of her bedroom. Her brother was standing by the sill of it. Kagome looked around her room not wanting to meet her little brothers gaze.

Souta was a little cautious with his sister, something was up and he was determined to find out. Souta walked away and mumbled something about, "Crazy sisters," and that he'll never understand girls.

Inuyasha sighed,"Pretty much proves that the kid can't see me." Kagome sighed and continued with her homework.

After an agonizing thirty minutes later, she was completely done with her homework. "Finally!" she said in triumph,"All done," she stretched her arms and placed her textbooks inside a bin. Then went straight to the bathroom.

"I've only been dead for a day and I don't even know my own life, just my name, that strange girl and that's it," Inuyasha said in annoyance.

Kagome smiled,"Don't worry i'll stand by you and help you with it. I wanna let you know that," she hesitated for a moment,"It's nice to get to know you at least. I'm glad I'm your friend now," she told him. Kagome yawned and smiled," Night Inuyasha," she said before closing her eyes and fell into slumber.

Inuyasha watched the girl before he heard her breathing rate slow down, meaning she already went to sleep.

"Me too. Goodnight...Kagome."
