Kelly's Note: I don't own any of these characters. You know how the disclaimers go.
The following day: There was a faint ringing tone. Somewhere. Where was it? All that Kagome could see was black. Annoyed, she came to, and smacked the life out of her clock, taking an extra few minutes to wake up. She felt deaf when she lifted her head from the soft down pillow, trying to hear the footsteps on the floor below her. Kagome had become very keen on who was walking, where they were, and their possible mood, just by listening to the footsteps. It was useless. She flopped back down into bed. It was hard to keep her dry eyes closed, so she didn't fight it. The black nothingness enveloped her again.
"KAGOME!!!!" A loud yell made Kagome even fall out of bed in surprise. A sharp pain traveled from her butt, up her spine, to her head, making her head ache. "OW, MY BUTT!" Kagome squealed, trying to clamber back into the bed, taking cover. Sango pulled the covers off of Kagome's bed, making Kagome shiver violently. "TIME TO WAKE UP! WAKEY WAKEY EGGS N' BACKEY". "What's the big idea?!" Kagome hissed as she carefully propped herself up on the bed. "Inuyasha's brother is coming for a visit TODAY! Time to clean up!" Kagome jumped up from bed.
"Inuyasha has a brother?!" "Yea, you didn't know?" "NO!" "Oh, well I guess he likes you too much to say something." "What are you talking about?" "Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru..Just don't get along very well, okay?" Kagome stayed quiet. She just sat there huddled on the bed. After a moment's silence, she opened her mouth to speak again. "I.. am going to go take a shower, then I'll help." She flipped off the mattress and continued to the bathroom to wake herself up with a hot shower.
When Kagome's body emerged from the bathroom, she was wrapped in a towel and the heat filed out into the halls from all sides around her, the smoky density wafting feet from the bathroom. Inuyasha was standing in front of her, magazines in his hands. Seeing her in nothing but a towel had somehow stunned him. He said nothing, his wide eyes soaking into her eyes of surprise. "Got a problem?" Kagome demanded. Inuyasha went back to his normal expression "Tsk, yea right, idiot girl." Kagome "hmph"ed, royally miffed, and stormed off to her room.
Kagome felt weak as she slipped into clean clothes. She had thrown on a pair of pants, put her hair up into bun, and was buttoning up a white long sleeved shirt to match the season. She threw a thin silver chain around her neck, then fastened small hoop earrings into her ears. She yawned tiredly, straightening up her room a little bit as she pressed in her left earring.
"Sango, you needed help?" Kagome looked over at Sango as she swept the kitchen. Miroku was rummaging through the fridge. "Yea, grab a broom, or a mob, or a duster, and clean", Sango threw a feather duster to Kagome. Kagome caught it and started to dust the tops of the cabinets in the kitchen, making her way around Miroku's body. "So where is Inuyasha? Isn't he supposed to be cleaning too? It's his brother after all", Kagome said, still miffed about the shower scenario that had taken place earlier.
"He's fixing up his room so that you can stay there at least comfortably", Sango said, throwing down the dustpan. "MIROKU! Could you at least help a LITTLE?!" Sango shouted, making Miroku jump. She pointed out the dust pan to Miroku. He jumped over to help. "What do you mean 'So I can stay there comfortably'?" Kagome raised an eyebrow at Sango, but she wasn't looking, she was busy sweeping. "Well, since your room is a lot nicer than Inuyasha's room will ever be, Miroku and I suggested that Sesshoumaru stay in your room and you stay wit Inuyasha." "YOU SUGGESTED WHAT?!" Kagome almost pounced on Sango.
"Kagome, it's only for one day, and there's even a couch so that you can sleep separately." Kagome pouted. "Fine, but I'm still not talking to that jerk". "Great, me neither", Inuyasha stepped into the room. He tried to glare at Kagome, but it came out as a blank stare. "When is Sesshoumaru getting here?" Miroku murmured. "In a few hours, then we are going to go out to eat, then we are going to the club. You guys can come if you want, but I don't think you'd like it." "Count me out", Sango stated, "Miroku and I are going out to talk to some old friends." Miroku threw out the dirt that was in the dustpan.
Kagome stayed quiet, thinking that he wouldn't want her around. "And what about you? Are you going to dodge it too?" Kagome stared down at her feet. "I dunno, it sounds kind of fun to meet your brother." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yea whatever", he snarled. "Get your stuff that you need, your staying in my room tonight."
The grandfather clock in the hallway tolled 12 o'clock and a doorbell chimed in on the third ring. Miroku jumped for the door, but Inuyasha was faster, Kagome and Sango gathered behind the boys. Inuyasha swung the door open, taking a step back, Kagome taking a step back as well, her hands on his back to keep her balance.
Sesshoumaru looked not much older than Inuyasha, maybe a few years. His hair was so blonde, it was white. He had an emotionless look in his eye. By his side, was a little girl. "And who the hell is this?" was the first greeting sentence that slipped from Inuyasha's lips. He glared. Sesshoumaru kept the same expression on his face. "This is Rin, I adopted her not long ago." Rin grinned a toothy smile. "She's so cute!" Kagome said. Sango said nothing. She stayed quiet and staring.
"You're staying in Kagome's room for tonight, where's your luggage?" Miroku asked quietly. Sesshoumaru pointed to the lone bag next to him, without looking. He was starting to scare Kagome with the same emotionless stare that he kept. Miroku grabbed the bag and Inuyasha ushered Sesshoumaru into the house. Sesshoumaru kept looking straight into space. Kagome moved out of his way. His head turned and his eyes locked onto hers. A grin crept up on his face.
"So this is the new girl? Very pretty", he seemed to survey Kagome. Inuyasha took a step between them, his back to Seshoumaru, but his head turned to look at him. "Don't you even think about it", were his lone words. Sesshoumaru shrugged and followed Miroku up the stairs to Kagome's room.
Inuyasha took his leave, and soon Sango was gone as well, leaving Kagome, standing there, confused in every way possible.
The night spread over quickly. Inuyasha had yelled for Sesshoumaru many times, but none of that woke Kagome up. She had fallen asleep on the couch long before. Her mind was hard to clear in the beginning, but when it did, she slept like a rock. Her vision was blurry as her mind whirred back to life. She propped herself up from the couch on one arm. Her vision was blurry, but her hearing was perfectly fine. "You coming to Kagome?"
Kagome sat in the back with Rin in her lap, Sesshoumaru sat in the passengers seat, and Inuyasha sat in front of Kagome, turning the key in the ignition. The car roared to life. Kagome tried her best to become invisible. Rin had the same idea. The car was very quiet all the way to the resteraunt. When Inuyasha slammed on the breaks, Kagome knew that it was time to get out of the jeep and come out of chamelian mode.
The meal went on as a whir of loud yelling voices and clinking silverware. Kagome's head ached with all the arguing. Kagome scooted her food around and gave Rin money for the arcade, the going with her, and taking many batchroom breaks. She feared Inuyasha. But she also feared Sesshoumaru. He didn't seem stable, and out to blame it all on Inuyasha, and it scared her.
When dinner was over, Kagome asked to go home and promised to babysit Rin while they both went to the nightclub that had given her so many nightmares. Inuyasha dropped her off at quarter to six. Kagome went back to sleep on the couch, and Rin watched television until she had fallen to sleep as well.
Inuyasha slamming the door behind him and startled Kagome as she jumped up. "AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" Inuyasha barked. Rin had woken up too, and she ran to Sesshoumaru, who shielded her from Inuyasha's voice. Kagome sat on the couch, listening intently. "ITS AN HEIRLOOM THAT IS DEFINETLY NOT YOURS! KEEP YOUR DAMNED PAWS OFF". Sesshoumaru glared at Inuyasha. "Have it your way, I'm turning in, I'll be off in the morning. And nice to meet such a lovely girl, Kagome. But I must warn you, you watch her back, things could happen."
Inuyasha spit at him, but he was already halfway up the stairs, Rin jabbering as he was close to her always. Inuyasha looked at Kagome. "I'm going to bed." Kagome stood up and followed him as to say "me too".
Inuyasha lit up the room and threw off his shirt and pants, putting on a clean t-shirt. Kagome also stripped down and threw on a pair of shorts and a tank top. Inuyasha's face grew red, seeing her in such little clothing. He settled into bed. "You can take the couch", he said. Kagome didn't make a snide remark this time around. She just nodded and turned off the light. But she couldn't go to sleep.
At 12:00 at night Kagome's eyes flickered open. She hadn't fallen asleep yet, but she heard Inuyasha say something. Or at least she thought that she did. She perked up and stared at Inuyasha's unmoving body. He was lying on his side on one side of the bed. His hair laid about him. He hadn't bothered to tie his hair back. "Can't have it." Inuyasha murmured in his sleep. "Can't have her" he went. Kagome sat up, trying to hear better. "Kagome" Inuyasha's eyes were closed. He looked like a darling puppy. Or at least Kagome thought it. "She's mine". "Can't have". "Love". "Tooth". The tooth necklace was hanging around his necklace. Sesshoumaru wanted it. Kagome had crept so close to hear Inuyasha that she was now sitting on the bed.
The bed was soft. Softer than hers. "Must protect Kagome" he murmured. "Kagome, help". Kagome laid out next to him. Everything seemed more comfortable. The mattress was soft, the pillows were plump, the comforter was warm, and Inuyasha lye next to her. "Shhh", Kagome whispered to the sleeping Inuyasha, "It's alright, It's okay, I'm here." "Kagome?" his voice seemed more clear and he had lost all of his anger. Kagome set her arm over Inuyasha and put her face on Inuyasha's, cheek to cheek with him. Her body was so close to his that she could feel his body he. It felt wonderful. "You smell so nice", Inuyasha slept-said. But he wasn't heard. Kagome was already fast asleep.
But it wasn't for long. Kagome was only sleeping lightly. So she heard the door when it opened. Kagome pretended to be asleep. When she was asleep she had seemed to move from being cheek to cheek with him, to snuggling into a warm spot on his neck, his hair was covering her face. She heard a loud click. But Inuyasha continued to sleep soundly. She slowly opened her eyes, but just a little, to see who it was. It was Sesshoumaru. He was standing at the bottom of the bed.
"Poor Inu-yasha. Such a pretty girl, such a nice life, with her. Such good friends. Too bad he won't be with them anymore. I almost feel sorry for the girl. Look at her, sleeping at his side. I haven't seen such love since Kikyo."
A shock came to Kagome. Her eyes traveled from Sesshoumaru's face, to the gun he was holding. She flew up into a sitting position. Sesshoumaru stared coldly at her. "So you're awake? What a pity." The gun clicked again as he put his hand on the trigger. Inuyasha murmured a little and slowly opened his sleepy eyes. "Kagome?" He said as he turned his body, so that he was flat on his back. "Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, "WAKE UP!" Inuyasha's eyes moved to Sesshoumaru. He didn't even looked panicked, he was too tired. He didn't move.
"Goodbye Inuyasha" Sesshoumaru grinned. He pulled the trigger. Kagome panicked. She moved quickly and felt a sharp pain in he left shoulder. Sango tackled Sesshoumaru, making him drop the gun. Kagome, scared that the bullet had hit Inuyasha and killed him, turned to Inuyasha. His face was covered in blood. Kagome was so scared that Sesshoumaru had shot him that she blacked out when she saw his face.
What she didn't know was that the blood that his face was covered in was her own.
