InuYasha does not belong to me, but Rumiko Takahashi

Kagome was dragged by her arm into the king's private quarters and thrown in like a rag doll.

" Ouch! That really hurt." she looked at her arm.

" Oh great! Now I'm gonna get a bruise on my arm." she could see the redness showing up already.

When she got up off the ground she saw where they threw her. It was beautiful, everything was placed just perfect, a lounging futon was against the wall. It appeared to be made of silk, and the paintings on the walls were so detailed.

" Souta would love these."

She saw the canopy bed at the side of the room, thin sheets hung from the top hovering around the bed itself. She decided to sit down on the futon and immediately felt relaxed. She laid her head down on it and felt the urge to sleep. She closed her eyes and dozed off quietly sobbing to herself for a while. The memories of the dream she had was all too vivid in her mind's eye. The young king saw her and was mesmerized once again by her flawless beauty. He decided not to wake her and set some garments on the floor next to her. ' Maybe she'll stop crying when she wakes up.'

She began to feel a cold draft as night was steadily approaching. He noticed her shivers and grabbed the thick top blanket from his bed and gently laid it on her. ' She's so amazingly beautiful. I wonder if there is more to her, and if she will let me find out when I'm done.' Once he completed his train of thought Kagome open her eyes, she thought she dreamed the entire thing, but when she saw the gigantic room she knew it was real.

" What happened to me?"

" You fell asleep on my futon." Kagome looked behind her and saw the hanyou, but all she knew was that he was a demon just like the rest.

" Please don't eat me. I just want to be left alone and you don't have to kill me."

" Who said I was going to eat you? I have better things in mind for you, wench."

" Hey, what's with the name calling!?"

" Sorry, I call all women that. You're looking at me kind of strange…is it because I'm a hanyou?"

His ears drooped a little when he thought he was being rejected for his heritage.

" What's a hanyou? Aren't you a demon?" His head shot up and he was shocked that she had no idea what he was talking about. Everyone else treated him so different because his mother was human, but this girl thought he was full blooded demon. He smirked, "a hanyou is someone who has both human and demon blood in them. My mother was human and my father was dog demon. Are you disgusted with me now that you know what I am?"

Kagome gave him a confusing look, "Why would I be disgusted with the fact that you're a half demon, doesn't that mean you share some human attributes?"

" Keh, I guess so, but the 'attributes' as you called them are my weaknesses."

Kagome saw the sadden expression creep on his face, he really was disgusted with himself and who he was. InuYasha peered over at her and caught a glimpse of the plump breasts nearly showing in her peasant clothes. Her cleavage only seemed to heighten his senses and entice him.

He moved in closer to the pale beauty standing before him. He sensed the fear as he hungrily looked her up and down. His eyes seemed to fog over with desire as he quickly grabbed Kagome and pushed her into the wall .

" What are you doing? Please, let me go..uh..um."

" The name's InuYasha, wench", his voice became huskier and dangerously low. The vibrating of his chest as he growled sent shivers through Kagome's body, mainly her core.

She felt her urges but fought hard not to give in to the warm sensation enveloping her body.

InuYasha could smell her excitement and wanted to claim her right then, but her tears and the painful expression following it made him stop.

He harnessed his tongue that was trailing down her silken chest before it reached her huge round breasts. She whimpered looking into his glazed eyes. She pushed softly on his masculine broad chest, she noticed his intense heaving and turned her face to his. She saw red flash in and out of his bright eyes. She felt scared as she saw a strange transformation happen to him.

He quickly pushed himself off of her, feeling the uncontrollable urges trying to take over his body and soul.

" Stay here and remain still, wench", InuYasha's hands began to shake as he tried to keep control over his demon and keep from harming the beauty still frozen to the wall.

He saw the hot tears that fell from her reddened face, but there was something other than fear lingering in her eyes. What was it? Was it compassion? Was it pain? InuYasha was bewildered when she ran to him and grasped his hands. He looked down at what she was doing and noticed that his hands were bleeding. 'When did that happen, I must have dug my claws into my hands'

He felt her shaking hand try to hold onto his hands and leaned down to meet her face.

" You don't have to help me. I'm a hanyou and I can heal very fast", his voice was soft and caring, trying to reassure her that he will be fine.

" But the cuts are so deep, you need to get them bandaged. I don't know what happened with your change, but you're hurt and even if you do heal quickly you don't want them to get infected do you?!"

InuYasha softly chuckled, ' so she does care about me. Her eyes show so much care and worry. She truly is one of a kind.'

" If you think it will help, then I guess you can clean my wounds. Only if you want to."

" Well…I do. So I'm going to the bathroom and get some fresh water, and try not to be a baby when I put it on your cuts." she giggled lightly as she walked into the bathroom.

InuYasha caught the small giggle in his ears and his heart raced with a fever he knew only she could calm. He felt the tightening in his stomach when she came back to him. She lightly washed the gashes and felt her cheeks flush. ' Oh my god, why am I feeling this way about him. He doesn't look bad and he seems to struggle with inner demons, but he's a king! How is he getting me so hot and worked up just by staring at me?!'

Kagome was abruptly pulled out of her thoughts as she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder.

" Are you alright….uh…?"

" My name is Kagome and I'm fine, but you need to be more careful with your claws. The next time you freak like that you could hurt yourself even worse."

" Why do you care?"

" Oh, well…..hanyou or human you still have a soul and still feel pain. I want to help you, I can't stand seeing people in pain or distressed."

Just then InuYasha noticed something that didn't catch his eyes before, "are you a miko?"

" Why would you ask a silly question like that?"

" Your aura gives off a strange purity, nothing like I have ever encountered."

Kagome felt herself flush as she remembered what her mother told her a long time ago.

( FLASH BACK)

Kagome was about five years old and her mother and her were walking to the hut after a day of shopping at a nearby village. While walking down the path they came upon a man who was crying hysterically into his hands, never noticing the onlookers standing in front of him. Little Kagome looked up at her mom who was urging her to leave, but she couldn't move. She knelt down to the crying man and wrapped her arms around him. As soon as the embrace tightened a bright pink glow emanated from Kagome and the man. He was engulfed by her radiant glow which soon dissipated as the embrace was broken. Kagome's mother was astonished by what she saw and then the man spoke.

" Thank you little one for quieting my soul. I thought the torment would never end."

" It's ok, I just hope that next time you cry it will be from happiness."

" How were you able to leave me with peace?"

" I only helped your mind clear and see the truth. Life is never as bed as it seems."

She gave the man one last hug before departing with her mother.

" InuYasha, I can't rightfully tell you if I am or not. I don't know myself."

" Have other people told you things like this before?"

" All my life, but all I know is that I help people."

" You mean heal them? Like a Wounded arm?"

" No, I can heal deeper wounds."

InuYasha still didn't know quite what she meant, but Kagome was a mystery he was eager to solve.

" Kagome, I want to tell you something. I find you extremely attractive and beautiful inside and out and I want you to be mine. I will not force myself on you, instead I will wait for you to want me. But I do want to see you everyday and get to know you better, if you'll let me."

Kagome had no idea of how she was supposed to react to this. His gleaming golden eyes stared at her waiting for some kind of an answer. ' It wouldn't be all that bad just talking to him everyday, and he is quite handsome with his striking amber eyes, his broad shoulders, his rippling muscles that are clearly visible. Oh and his cute little doggy ears…..ooooh I just want to rub them all day. WAIT! WHAT AM I SAYING?! Come on Kagome, get your mind out of the gutter and give him a damn answer!'

Kagome quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts to look at the dashing man…er…half demon before her. In his eyes he was pleading for her to accept the offer.

" I will…. on one condition, that you don't touch me inappropriately unless I say it's ok."

InuYasha didn't care at this point what the conditions were as long as she agreed to do it. After all, he had already seen her naked.

" Ok, but I want you to stay in here. You can have your room in my living area, it doesn't get used much anyways."

" Why so close? Don't you, the king, want some privacy?"

" There's a door that separates that room from mine….that's enough privacy."

InuYasha felt his face redden with each word he said and tried very hard not to choke on is words. ' What is this girl doing to me? Now it's like I can't even talk to her without feeling funny. This isn't anything I've ever felt before, but I can't let her know she's doing this to me, not until she comes to my bed, God would I give to feel those breasts and slide in….WHAO! If I start thinking about that I'm gonna need an extremely fucking cold bath!'

He looked down his waist and saw the pants which now resembled a circus tent.

' I gotta get her out of here!'

" Uh, Kagome wouldn't you like to see the grounds?"

" Yea, that's sounds nice."

" Good, I'll fetch my right hand man to show you around the palace…..KOGA!!!"

Immediately a strong handsome young wolf demon appeared in the door way.

" You called?"

" Yes, please show Kagome around the castle."

" Why can't you do it?"

Suddenly Koga saw the desperate look on his face and noticed what he was trying too hard to conceal.

" Well, I guess the rumors weren't true then?"

" Koga, just take Kagome and show her around. I'll talk to YOU later."

InuYasha narrowed his eyes evilly at the wolf demon and sprinted to the bathroom to 'relieve' some unwanted pressure.

Kagome walked around the castle taking in the beauty of everything. The vines that cascaded down the barriers of the castle were laced with tiny blue flowers. The garden though, is what interested her most. Greenery everywhere and trees, flowers, all kinds of colors illuminated and glowed in acres of land.
