Chapter 10

Harder to Pull Away

Kagome had slept so well the previous night that the following morning when she came to she realized she had spent the night at Inuyasha's house. She looked down off the side of the bed and saw Inuyasha asleep on the floor. He looked so peaceful and she didn't want to wake him. Kagome gathered all of her things and quietly made her way out of his room and down the stairs. When she got to the bottom Kagome saw someone sitting on the coach in front of the television. She tried to make her way to the door undetected but she didn't.

"So you were the one I heard last night...snoring?" the figure said but Kagome didn't respond she was too startled to. She just stood not knowing what to say so the figure spoke again.

"Did you hear what I said"he was waiting for her response. then he stood up and walked over to Kagome. "Jeez...my brother sure knows how to pick em" he said now standing directly in front of Kagome. She looked the unfamiliar person up and down taking notice of his silver hair and how much taller he was compared to Inuyasha.

"I'm sorry"she said. "You just caught me off gaurd...my name is Kagome...you must be Sesshomaru"Kagome said back to him.

"So you can speak...and yes sadly...I'm Inuyasha's brother" he said back to her.

"Well...I would love to stay and talk...but I gotta go"Kagome said as she opened the door and showed herself out. Kagome wasn't to fond of Inuyasha's brother. In fact she thought he was a little creepy. His cold gaze and emotionless words were enough to scare anyone. Not to mention the fact that he appeared out of no where when ever he felt like it.

Kagome made her way back to her hotel room as quickly as she could. She knew her mother was probably worried sick about her. She didn't even bother to call and let her mother know where she was. She put her key in the door but it opened up before she could even turn the knob.

"Where were you last night?...you never came back?..."her mother said as she snatched Kagome into the room and slammed the door closed behind her.

"Mom...I..."she tried to explain but her mother cut her off.

"Kagome...I trust you...I do...its that boy I don't trust...I don't know him...I don't care if he saved Sota's life or not...he's a complete stranger"she said now yelling very loudly. Kagome felt like she needed to defend him.

"How could you say that!!...you don't even know him!!"she screamed wanting to cry.

"And you do?...Kagome its only been a week"he mother said stressing the week part.

"I don't care...he's harmless..."Kagome said trying harder to convince her mother.

"Kagome how do you know that?...your going to sit here and tell me you know that based on the WEEKS TIME you've spent with him" he mother said growing tried of arguing.

"Mom...you know what its like...you said when you met dad you just knew...ok?...and...I just know...I can't tell you how I just do" She said. "It doesn't matter anyway since he's leaving on Sunday...his parents are making him move away for the next school year...and well were going back home soon...its not like I'm ever going to see him again anyway" Kagome said as she felt the tears coming down her face.

Her mother could tell she hit a nerve. She had not realized that Kagome felt this way about this Inuyasha character. She hugged her daughter to try and comfort her.

"It's ok...Kagome...maybe you will see each other again...you can't possibly know for sure you won't." her mother said as she rubbed Kagome's head.

"Mom it just seems like the more time I spend with him the harder it is to pull away"Kagome sobbed.

"Maybe you'll meet someone else?" her mother said but she realized that was the wrong thing to say when she heard her cry even harder. After about another five minutes of tears Kagome began to dry out.

"I want you to spend the day with your brother and I" her mother said as Kagome picked her head up out of her chest. "I'm going to take you brother to the local water park and then shopping??...afterward." her mother added. Kagome wiped off her face and gave her mother a smile. Shopping always made her feel a little better.

Inuyasha woke up to an empty bed. He wonder if Kagome had made her way downstairs to get something to eat. He was hungry and figured she would be too. As Inuyasha approched the stairs he could hear the television on. The slight grin that he wore slowly melted away. He walked straight down the stairs thought the family room and into the kitchen. No Kagome.

"Did you lose something?"Inuyasha heard a voice say. He didn't respond. Inuyasha made his way into the family room where his brother was sitting and watching TV. He stood directly in front of the television and demanded that Sesshomaru tell him where Kagome had gone.

"She's not here...she left this morning...before you woke up" as he seemed to look straight through his brother at the TV.

"What did you say to her?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I simply asked her who she was...I told her I had heard her snoring...she seemed a bit timid for you" Sesshomaru said with a grin as he rolled his eye's at his over reactive brother you.

"She was timid because your face scared her!"Inuyasha yelled as he left the room and stormed back upstairs slamming the door to his room. Inuyasha figured Kagome was in enough trouble with her mother at this point and thought it would be pointless to go after her. He decided he would just see her tomorrow before he left.
