Chapter 6

Inuyasha tensed as he recognised the scent. It smelt misty, cold, and almost void of life. He chuckled to himself, sitting down on the tiled roof. If it was who thought it was, they weren't moving very fast. He crossed his arms and stared blankly as the presence slowly drew closer. He took another sniff and estimated they would be here by morning.

Kagome sighed when she noticed Inuyasha didn't eat his breakfast. exhaling deeply she called, "Buyo!" After a couple minutes the fat little cat wobbled into the room. She set the full plate on the floor and allowed the cat to eat the contents.

"You always complain that Buyo is fat," Sota said as he watched the cat nibble on the food, "but your the one who feeds him so much."

Kagome ignored the comment at watched the cat blankly. She had a lot of things on her mind right now and she really wasn't paying much attention to what her brother was saying. The boy seemed to take the hint and ate his food in silence, than proceeded to pull his homework from his bag.

Kagome looked up from the dishes, towards the clock. It was getting late now and the sun was already setting. Inuyasha hadn't come inside for a couple of hours and Kagome felt a little worried. Normally she wouldnt care that the strange dog, would spend all his time outside, but with what he told her she was a little concerned. It had been a couple days since then and he barely came inside.

After she was done the dishes she told her brother she was going outside. She climbed up onto the roof and sat next to the boy, not looking at the confused expression staring at her. She looked at the orange sunset and smiled. It was the same shades of orange and purple that filled the sky on that day.

Finally turning her head to look at the boy, she smiled. Inuyasha blushed a bit and Kagome giggled when she saw the white furry ears twitch. "I have one more question for you," she said.

Inuyasha tensed and nodded slowly. "When we first met...what did you think of me?" she asked, feeling the burning blush on her face.

Inuyasha blinked in surprise at the random question. He remembered that night well. It was the same night he escaped. He bit his lips as he recalled passing out in those trees. He wasn't even quite sure how he got there, but he definitely remembered his awakening.

"Well...I thought you could of just shook me awake, instead of tripping over me like that," he chuckled. Kagome giggled to as she remembered her little trip. Inuyasha went quiet for a moment. "When I first woke up I was in a complete daze. I really didn't know where I was at the time, but I knew I didn't like your...little friends."

Kagome was a little confused, but than he faces of her stalkers appeared in her mind. She chuckled a bit, "Yah...my friends."

"You looked so terrified," he whispered sadly, "my instincts kicked in and I attacked. Afterwards I thought I made a mistake. I thought for sure that I would scare you more than they did, but I didn't. You were really strange."

Kagome couldn't believe that Inuyasha was calling her strange. "Me? Your the one with white hair and ears, and your calling me strange?"

Inuyasha laughed and Kagome thought her heart skipped a beat. "A strange girl meets a strange boy. The strange girl feeds him strange food and takes him to a strange house," he chuckled. "I'll admit I was kind of scared of you."

Kagome remembered how the boy looked that night. He looked like a frightened animal. An animal that had been abused it's whole life. I guess it wasn't far from the truth. "Pretty funny huh," she said softly.

"Huh?"

"I was more scared of those guys than I was of you. A normal girl would have screamed when she saw you, but I was so relieved." she said, "I guess I really am strange."

Inuyasha and Kagome both giggled. Inuyasha was the first to go quiet and Kagome could see pained expression reappear. "Hey uh," she mumbled, getting Inuyasha's attention. "I was thinking of going out with a couple friends tonight." Inuyasha tensed and looked in the direction of the scent. Kagome sensed he was worried. "Come with me?"

Inuyasha was surprised by the invitation and turned back to her with wide, confused eyes. She giggled under the stare and pulled her legs towards her. She hugged them and burried her face in her knees. "I don't really know what I'm supposed to believe anymore. I've been so confused since I met you...and a little depressed."

Inuyasha saddened as she spoke. She peeked up from her position and smiled that innocent smile. "But I also feel happy," she continued, "I''ve decided to trust you."

The dog like boy felt a small flutter in the pit of his stomach. This girl really had a way of getting to him. "I'm sure you'll like my friends and I want you to have some fun," she continued.

Inuyasha gazed at her, his confusion written on his face. He flinched when he felt her hand touch his knee. He gulped silently as he looked from her hand, back to her. "Trust me...you'll have fun," she said.

Inuyasha pondered the proposal before nodding slowly. The girls eyes brightened and her smile grew into a pleased grin. "Great!" she said standing up. She gripped the clothing on his shoulder and pulled him up quickly.

She was definitely stronger than she looked. Inuyasha barely had time to balance himself on the roof, before he was dragged across it, towards the edge. He frowned and turned the girl over quickly, gaining a surprised look from the her. He wrapped his arms around her and before she could resist he leaped into the air.

Kagome screamed as she felt air whip past her and than she felt the intense sensation of falling. Inuyasha stared at her with a comical grin on his face, as the girl screamed in his arms. He couldn't help but laugh and Kagome opened her eyes to see they were on the ground.

She felt a blush return to her face in embarrassment and she pulled away from the boy. "Let's...let's go get ready," she mumbled, trying to hide her embarrassed expression.

Inuyasha nodded and followed her in the house. Kagome entered Inuyasha's room and walked towards the dresser. She opened it and looked through the clothes inside. She blushed when she found the item she was looking for. She pulled them out quickly and threw them to Inuyasha, who caught them. He examined the strange black pants, before giving a puzzling look to Kagome.

She blushed, when she saw the boy take his pants off. "Hey!" she growled, " at least wait till I turn around first!" she said tuning back to the dresser.

She pulled out a black muscle shirt and turned around to see Inuyasha wrestling on he ground as he tried to pull the black 'leather' pants up. Kagome giggled and walked over to the strange boy. Maybe trying to him get into something like this was a bad idea. When Kagome bought the pants she couldn't help but think he would look good in them.

With Kagome's help Inuyasha got into the pants and stood up. He gave a somewhat sour looked at the pants before looking up at the blushing, and very pleased Kagome. "They're...kind of tight," he mumbled.

"Well duh they're made of leather," she said and walked towards him. She handed him the shirt and walked out of the room. "I'll be getting ready upstairs." she said.

Inuyasha watched as she trudged up the stairs. He sighed looking down at his pants again. He had the urge to rip them off, but decided against it. He pulled off the shirt he as wearing a slipped the tight muscle shirt on. "Wow Inuyasha," a small voice said behind him.

Inuyasha looked over his shoulder to see Sota looking up and down. "That's quite the interesting look," he chuckled.

Inuyasha growled but nodded, causing the small boy behind him to laugh. "I don't remember buying those when we went shopping," Sota said and began walking around Inuyasha. "Kagome must have got them for you."

Kagome sat in front of a small mirror on her desk. Carefully she applied red and black eyeshadow and slowly added black eyeliner. Once she was pleased with the cat like shape she smiled at herself. It was kinda like preparing for a date, and she blushed at the thought. She added a nice shade of red lipstick to her lips, before standing and walking to her closet. She already knew exactly what she wanted to wear ad she felt a sudden giddiness.

Inuyasha waited in the living room with Sota, occasionally tugging at the tight material on his legs. After about an hour he began hearing footsteps coming down the stairs. He practically jumped from his seat and looked around the corner. His jaw dropped as Kagome stood in front of him. Her black hair was tied up high, with loose curls sitting next her cheeks. Her makeup was applied with care and despite the gothic like look, she almost looked like she could break at the slightest touch.

Her dress was black and ended a little ways above her knees. It had a couple of red roses on the fabric that matched her tinted red eyes. A small silver necklace shaped like a heart was around her neck, and she was wearing simple black heals, that added about an inch to her height. "Wow," Inuyasha mumbled.

Kagome blushed, but it faded when the boy went on all fours and crawled over to her. He stared, practically in awe, at the unusually high shoes. "How do you walk in those?" he asked looking up at her.

He blushed when he noticed the lacy black panties under her dress, and stood up quickly before she noticed. Quickly he shook his head, erasing the small pink on his cheeks. Kagome ignored the question Inuyasha gave her and walked towards the kitchen. Inuyasha followed and watched her picked up the phone. She talked into it for a couple of minutes before hanging up and looked back at the watching dog.

"Alright they're meeting us there," she smiled. Kagome than looked the boy over and narrowed her eyes. "I think your missing a few things." she said, staring at his bare feet.

Before Inuyasha could comment, Kagome grabbed and pulled him back to his room. She handed him some socks and continued walking around the room. After wandered around the room she let out an annoyed groan. "Gees, where are your shoes?" she said looking back at the boy.

Inuyasha shrugged, and received an, almost, shocked expression. "I don't mind not wearing any," Inuyasha said, somewhat hopeful.

Kagome groaned and walked out of the room and motioned for him to follow him upstairs. She opened a small closet and pulled out a pair of black, army style boots. "These better fit," she grumbled to herself. She handed them to the boy and she walked into her room, grabbing a couple things before coming back out.

Her eyes widened as she saw the young man, lying on his stomach and chewing on the laces of the boots as he waited. Kagome stared in interest as she watched him. Letting out a deep sigh she walked over and grabbed the shoes, pulling the laces from his mouth.

Inuyasha pulled himself into a sitting position and aloud the girl to put the shoes on. "They may be a bit to tight," she sighed, "they were my dad's."

Inuyasha stood up and Kagome held up a silver chain. It was just a plain silver chain, and Inuyasha gave her a puzzling look. She groaned and unlached it and raised it towards him, holding an end in each hand. Inuyasha's widened backed away as she got closer, "The hell are you doing?" he asked and Kagome was surprised at how panicked his voice sounded.

Kagome blinked a the strange expression on his face. "It's just a necklace," she spoke calmly.

Inuyasha looked from her to the chain in her hand. "I don't want to wear a chain again," he whispered quickly.

She sighed lightly and gave a reassuring smile. "It isn't that kind of chain. It's just a piece of jewelry."

Inuyasha stared uneasy at the silver necklace, before taking a deep breath. "F-fine," he blushed.

Kagome's smile brightened and she nodded. Inuyasha looked away from her as she latched the silver chain around his neck, than pulled away and looked up at him with a pleased grin. "It looks good," she said softly.

Inuyasha reached for the chain and pulled it a bit. "It's really loose," he said as he examined it.

"Well yah," Kagome chuckled.

Inuyasha stared at it intensely for a minute. "What's the point of this thing?" he asked.

Kagome thought about it for a minute before a little blush appeared on her cheeks. "I don't know. Makes the outfit look better." she replied, "Ok let's get going."

Inuyasha nodded and followed her back downstairs and to the front door. She turned back and gasped lightly. Inuyahsa watched as she quickly grabbed a hat from another room and set it on his head. "Sota we're leaving now!" she called. Sota we're peaked around the corner with a smile. "Alright," he said.

"Are you going to be ok by yourself?" she asked.

Sota nodded, "Of course! Just don't come back to late," he said in a serious, parent like tone.

"If you want, you can have a friend come over," she said.

Sota's face brightened and he nodded excitedly. Kagome chuckled as the boy ran into the kitchen. She let out a relaxed sigh and smiled. "I guess he'll be alright," she said to herself.

"You worried about him?" Inuyahsa asked as he stared into the kitchen.

"Well of course he's my little brother," she replied and opened the door.

Inuyahsa looked back in the kitchen before walking out of the house. "Do all humans worry about their siblings?" he asked sounding much sadder that intended.

Kagome nodded, "Most do I think," she replied. She looked back when Inuyahsa was silent.

He looked half dazed and half sad. She bit her lip as she realised that maybe he was thinking of his family. "Do you worry about your siblings?" she asked hesitantly.

"Hah!" Inuyahsa said and quickened his pace.

Kagome sighed and walked faster to catch up to him. They walked out of the shrine grounds and into the city. Inuyasha occasionally growled as he tried loosening his pants. "How am I supposed to walk in these?" he asked, frustrated.

Kagome laughed and kept walking. "You're not the one wearing heals," she said.

Kagome turned the corner and walked down the busy street. Inuyahsa looked around and noticed that there were quite a few girls dressed similar to Kagome. "Hey Kagome!" a female voice called.

Both Kagome and Inuyahsa turned to the direction of the voice. A young girl and boy were both waving to her. The girl was dressed similar to Kagome but her long brown hair was down, and her dress was pink and white. The guy was dressed in dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt. Despite the short length, part of his hair was tied back.

Kagome smiled and waved. She looked up at Inuyahsa and motioned for him to follow her. Hesitantly he followed her, keeping himself almost hidden behind her. "Hey guys," Kagome greeted.

"Great to see you Kagome," the guy said.

His eyes than moved to see behind her. Inuyahsa turned his head away when he noticed the stranger staring at him. "So who's your friend Kagome," the girl asked as she to peaked around to see the boy.

"Oh right," she said and turned around. "Inuyahsa," she said, making the boy look at her. "These are my friends, Sango and Miroku." Inuyasha turned his head back and nodded as a greeting. "This is Inuyahsa."

Miroku and Sango both looked the boy up and down. "It's...nice to meet you Inuyahsa," Miroku said.

Inuyahsa nodded again, crossing his arms over his chest. Kagome sighed and looked at her confused friends. "He's a little shy around strangers," she said.

Her chuckles and nodded. "So let's go," Sango said and began walking towards a small building.

Inuyahsa followed behind as they entered the small restaurant. It wasn't very big; in fact it was rather small. A few ta blues and a few booths. Inuyahsa watched as they picked a booth; Miroku sitting next to Sango. Kagome smiled at Inuyahsa and motioned for him to sit next to her.

He sat down and began looking around the small restaurant. There wasnt many people, but some would occasionally look and stare. Inuyahsa bit his lip. Places with people always made him a bit nervous.

It wasn't long before a waitress made her way over to them. "Can I get you something to drink?" she asked handing them a menu.

"Hey Inuyahsa you want a shot of whiskey or something?" Miroku asked.

Inuyahsa tilted his head. "Whiskey?"

The table went silent for a moment. "Inuyasha hasn't gotten drunk before," Kagome answered, and hoping she was correct.

"Well do you want to try something lighter?" he asked.

"I guess," he replied lightly.

"Four glasses of sake," Miroku said, "Might as well bring the bottle."

The waitress nodded and walked away and the table went quiet again. Miroku and Sango both looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha tried to ignore them but they kept staring. Finally Inuyasha couldn't take it and let out a low annoyed growl. "Do you want something?" he spat, glaring at them.

The three people jumped and Miroku shook his head and grinned. "Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded.

Inuyahsa seemed to ignore her as he intensified his glare on the strangers across from him. Sango seemed to take the hint, and she smiled a smile similar to Kagome's. "So Inuyasha," she began,"Tell me how you know Kagome?"

Inuyasha blinked in confusion than took a sideways glance at Kagome. She rolled her eyes and he sighed as he tried to think of something. "We met... at a restaurant?" he said, looking at Kagome who nodded in response.

"Yah," she continued, "he wasn't sure what to order so I recommended the soba and than we ended up talking."

Inuyasha at first was a little confused but simply nodded as well. Sango and Miroku bought the lie and smiled. "That's nice," Sango said looking at Inuyasha. "You must have interested her. It takes a very special man, before Kagome would speak to-"

"Sango!" Kagome interrupted. Miroku and Sango laughed at the embarrassed expression Kagome was wearing.

Inuyasha sniffed and felt his ears twitch under his hat. "Our drinks are coming," he said softly, staring at the table.

Before Sango and Miroku could let out a 'huh?' the waitress was already at the table. The two friends stared wide eyed as the waitress set the four drinks down. "Impressive," Miroku said smugly.

Inuyasha watched as the three took their drinks and sipped from it. He followed at took his, but sniffed it before hand. It smelt strong, and he could feel the fizz on his face. Hesitantly he took a sip and gave a sour face. "Gross," he whispered.

The table laughed bit Inuyasha stared...glared at the clear liquid in the cup. "Sorry Inuyasha," Miroku chuckled, "It is a bit strong, but you'll get used to it."

Inuyahsa sighed and nodded as he proceeded to take another sip. The three watched dumbfounded as the strange puppy gulped down the whole drink. Inuyasha blinked and hiccuped, causing the three humans to giggle.

Miroku was the second to finish his and he refilled Inuyasha's and his own. Miroku than gave Inuyasha a challenging look and Inuyasha smirked, grabbing the cup. They looked at he another as they raised their glasses and began gulping it down. Inuyasha finished first and slammed the cup on the table with a pleased grin.

"Not bad Inuyasha," Miroku chuckled as he proceeded to fill their cups again.

"Don't get to drunk you two," Kagome sighed and motioned for Miroku to refill her's as well. "Come on Kagome," Miroku thinned playfully, "When do I ever get drunk."

Sango laughed and pointed to the drunk induced blush on his cheeks. "I'd say you already are," she smiled.

"Not even close," he laughed.

Inuyasha stared at the liquid in his cup as the three talked. Whatever was in his glass was making his head feel a little fuzzy. "Okay!" Miroku said happily, "I challenge all three of you this time!"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. She was laughing and smiling much more now, and Inuyasha couldn't help but chuckle lightly. Kagome heard it and turned to him. "I told you, you have fun," she smiled.

"Enough talk," Miroku said raising his glass, "On with the competition." Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango all nodded and raised their glasses. Within seconds the three had their empty cups on the table.

Inuyasha felt himself swaying a bit and leaned himself back in his seat. His stomach felt a bit uncomfortable, and he forced himself to keep the liquid down. He drank his next drink much slower and listened to the conversation between the three friends for a couple of minutes.

He stood up, almost far to fast and stumbled a bit. He really wanted to get so air...or possibly water to wash the strong taste from his throat. Kagome asked where he was going and he pointed to the door. "Outside for a minute," he said and turned away before she could answer.

His eyes where fuzzy and his body felt extremely light, and it felt like his body was moving on its own. He felt somewhat hot, and the leather wasn't helping at all. He stepped outside and breathed in the cool air. He sighed deeply; the sake, dulled all his senses, including his high sense of smell.

Still he could smell the familiar misty scent, and was a little shocked of how much faster it was moving. The presence was extremely close to the house. "Why would they go there?" He whispered, frowning a bit. "Not good." Taking a quick glance back at the restaurant, he stumbled away.

Sota hummed as he watched flipped the pages of his comic book. His friend was going to come over in a bit and he was enjoying his privacy until than. He jumped when he heard a gentle knock on the door, and his eyes brightened with excitement. He ran to the door and opened it.

The grin on his face faded as he stared at the young strangers at the door. One was a young boy around the same age as him, and the other was a girl and she looked a bit younger.

They were both dressed in white kimonos, but the boy's had a couple designs and even buttons. Both had pale skin, and long bleach white silver hair; the girl's cut much more neatly, and the boy's a little shaggy. Their eyes were dark and lifeless.

The girl was the most unusual of the two. Unlike the boy who was smirking previously at Sota; the girl held no emotion. Despite their long hair, Sota could see their elvish style ears. He gulped silently under their deathly gaze, and felt himself shiver. "Uh...can I help you?" he asked quietly.

The boy's smirk turned to a grin, and he crossed his arms over his chest. "My name is Hakudoshi, and this is Kanna," he said mentioning to the blankly staring girl. "We are two of Inuyasha's siblings."

Sota's eyes widened. "Siblings?" he asked, looking them over again.

They didn't look anything like Inuyasha...well their hair I suppose. Other than that they barely looked as if they could be related to him. "Oh," Hakudoshi grinned, "So he didn't tell you that he has family? Well I suppose you weren't here when some of them came for...a visit."

Sota raised an eyebrow. "You don't look related," he said, his eye drifted to the top of the boy's head.

"Oh right," Hakudoshi chuckled, "Well we were lucky enough not to be born with those gross ears."

Sota tensed as the boy looked at the young girl. "So Kanna do you want me to do this job?" he asked.

Kanna blinked and turned her head to look at him. "That is why...I brought you with me," she whispered.

Sota felt chills run up his spine as the girl spoke. Her voice was like her expression; void of emotion and life. These two were strange and almost...terrifying. Hakudoshi nodded to the girl and he grinned brightly, exposing his small fangs.

Sota's eyes widened as the boy slowly stepped forward, and Sota attempted to shut the door; only to have it grabbed and surprising ripped off the hinges. Sota yelped, and Kanna moved out of the way as Hakudoshi threw the door towards the trees; his devilish grin never leaving his face.

Inuyasha ran as fast as he could, trying to ignore the fact that he was swaying from side to side. People stared as he ran passed, and occasionally bumping and knocking over a person. Inuyasha ignored the random shouts coming his way. He felt angry and gritted his teeth, quickening his pace. Why? Why didn't he even consider they may use Sota?

His eyes widened as he smelt the strong smell of blood, coming from the house. He ran up the stairs to the shrine at top speed and gasped when he saw the damage done to the small house; the lights in the house flickered occasionally.

He panted heavily as he stopped in front of the house. He stared, shocked, at the house and gritted his fangs, letting out a deep growl. His ears flinched as he heard the gentle sounds of footsteps, and eventually saw a shadow approaching the door.

Because of the alcohol, his eyes would unfocus and refocus. He growled in annoyance as his body swayed on its own. Hakudoshi stepped out of the broken door and smirked when he saw the angry dog in front of the house. His white kimono was stained with red blood, making Inuyasha glare ferociously at him.

"Hello brother," the young boy said friendly, "Long time no see."

Inuyasha growled and positioned himself in a battle stance. He mentally groaned, knowing full well he as to out of it to fight. Not to mention his pants were tight and would prevent much movement. Still he wasn't about to let Hakudoshi know that. "Bastard!" he spat, "What did you do to Sota?!"

Hakudoshi's friendly smiled faded, "Who's Sota?" he asked innocently.

Inuyasha growled and curled his claws, intensifying his glare. "Hakudoshi don't make me repeat myself!"

Hakudoshi sighed and walked fully out of the house. "Dear bother," he said and began walking around Inuyasha, "You knew something like this would happen eventually. Lucky it was the boy right? Not your little human girl."

"Where is he? I know he isn't here!"

Hakudoshi chuckled smugly, "It's not that hard to figure out is it? Maybe that alcohol has made you to stupid to figure anything out."

Inuyasha tensed, and the boy laughed mischievously. "Please, I can smell that revolting stuff from here. You really have become careless...just like Sesshomaru said."

"I demand you bring him back!" Inuyasha yelled.

"You demand?" Hakudoshi laughed, "In your state, I hardly think you can make me threats."

Inuyasha ran forward and grabbed the front of the young boy's shirt, and lifted him in the air. Hakudoshi didn't seem faced in the least, and simply grinned down at Inuyasha. "Hakudoshi, I swear to god if you kill him-"

"That reminds me. Naraku wanted me to give you a message." Hakudoshi interrupted.

Inuyasha gripped tighter around his clothes, his claws going threw the fabric and into the boy's milky flesh. Hakudoshi sighed, "If you put me down I'll give it to you," he said calmly.

Inuyasha hesitated, but slowly lowered the boy to the ground. Hakudoshi stepped back and playfully brushed his clothes. "He said you have one week," Hakudoshi grinned. "One week to come home, r else he'll kill the boy."

Inuyasha laughed lowly, "Please, don't toy with me. I know he plans on killing them both," he said.

"That's isn't Naraku's plan at all," Hakudoshi said, "He simply wants you to come home on your own. Taking the boy was just for some...motivation." Inuyasha growled. The boy's icy words made his stomach turn. "I really wish I could see the look on that woman's face when she finds out."

Inuyasha lunged toward the boy and stumbled as he dodged. Inuyasha was barely able to catch himself. Hakudoshi didn't give him another chance to attack, and kicked him hard in the back; sending him flying forward. Inuyasha managed to land on his feet, but immediately fell onto one knee. The attack and booze left him feeling dizzy.

He mentally cursed himself for not being able to stand. "I guess I'll see you in a week or so." Hakudoshi giggled.

Inuyasha growled and didn't bother looking back at the boy. He already knew he was gone. He stared angrily at the ground, digging his claws in the dirt.

He looked around, and watched as the area seemed to spin around him. Slowly he pulled himself to his feet and hesitantly stepped toward the half destroyed house. He peeked inside and Disney's saddened at the amount of blood in the hallway. Hakudoshi didn't show an mercy with his attack, and it looked as if he dragged the boy around the house, just to leave trails of blood.

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he smelt an unfamiliar scent approaching the house. Quickly he ran out and towards the stairs. A small boy was just about to step up the stairs, and Inuyasha was thankful he still had his hat on. That's right, Inuyasha thought nervously, he was going to invite a friend over.

He walked down the stairs and the boy looked up at him. "Hey kid," Inuyasha said, "Sota isn't here anymore." It wasn't a lie.

The boy's eyes widened a little shocked. "But he invited me over just a while ago?"

"Yah sorry about that," Inuyasha was surprised how nice and calm his voice sounded. "It was a per of the moment thing. Kagome wanted to take him out and I said I would tell you when you came here."

The boy looked disappointed, but seemed to believe the lie. "Alright than," he said sadly, "I guess I'll see him at school tomorrow."

Inuyasha silently gulped and nodded, trying his best to smile. "Sorry again," he said. The boy nodded and turned away. He waved and Inuyasha waved back.

He watched the boy disappear, and sighed in relief. His expression saddened as he turned back, and up the stairs. Quickly he made his way back into the house and stepped around the blood to get to his room. He kicked his shoes off, angrily and ripped the tight pants off hos body. He felt free as the tight fabric was removed from his body and removed his tight shirt as well. He opened the bottom drawer, and pulled out his red kimono.

He unfolded it and dressed himself. Inuyasha gulped as he thought about what he would say to Kagome. He tied his belt tightly and made his way back outside. He stepped down the stairs and sat down at the base. His mind was racing and spinning, and it could have been just the alcohol but...he felt like crying.

Kagome was angry to say the least when she went out of the restaurant to find Inuyasha. She was drunk and pissed, thinking Inuyasha had simply ditched her. Miroku and Sango offered to walk her home, but she refused. She said goodbye and stumbled her way back.

When the stairs to the shrine came into few, she noticed a shadowed figure sitting at the bottom of the stairs. Despite the darkness she could see the pointy dog ears of Inuyasha. She groaned angrily and stormed towards him. "You have some nerve!" she said.

She stopped in her tracks when Inuyasha looked up at her. Her eyes widened as she saw the streams of tears on his cheeks. Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again. Kagome was silent as she stared down at him. Inuyasha pulled himself up and stepped slowly towards her.

Kagome was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. "Inuyasha?" she said.

Inuyasha tightened his hold and Kagome could feel his tears on her shoulder. "K-Kagome...it's S-Sota," he stuttered.

Kagome's eyes widened and she forced him to let her go. She stared up at him for a moment, than ran around him and up the stairs. Inuyasha gulped and he followed after her.

So uh...sorry! I hope you liked this chapter. Feel free to hunt me down for that.
