Chapter 10- Can I trust you?

Kagome awoke suddenly. Sitting up swiftly she looked around her, she was home. She sighed and let her legs droop over the side of the bed as she went in search of anyone. She stepped out her door and walked along the landing. She noticed the door to Inuyasha's room was slightly ajar so she moved towards it to inspect. Pushing it open she saw Inuyasha lying on the floor Naraku leaning over him laughing. When she entered he looked up.

"Thank you Kagome. Without you I never would have found him." He said as he disappeared in a tornado. Kagome choked back tears as she fell to Inuyasha's side. She shook him with her hands her didn't move. He was dead.

"INUYASHA" She screamed crying into his chest.

--X--

Kagome woke up. The dream had been scarily vivid. She shot up and whacked her head on something she winced and looked at what it was. Inuyasha was sitting beside her rubbing his head.

"What did you do that for?" He asked irritated. "I was only tucking you in and one second your going Inuyasha and then you hit my head!"

Kagome didn't say anything, instead she reached out her hand and touched Inuyasha's arm. He was really there! She gripped his red hoari and smiled slightly. Inuyasha looked at her, confused by her odd actions. "I'm so glad!" She said beaming up at him. Inuyasha was totally confused.

"Glad?" He asked.

"My dream. You were… Dead." Inuyasha laughed and ruffled her hair. "I'm not a baby stupid!" She said moving out of his reach.

"Is that why you grabbed my hoari? To check I wasn't a ghost?" He raised an eyebrow and Kagome blushed when she realised just how stupid she must sound.

"Are you ok though, Kago- Wench?" He asked. Kagome noticed he was going to say her name. She smirked.

"I heard you, Inuyasha. That's not the first time you said either is it?" He blushed and looked at the floor as she laughed at him.

"Oh shut up!" He finished knowing he had lost the argument.

Kagome got out of bed but her legs gave way, luckily Inuyasha was there to catch her. Using his shoulders she pulled herself up and gingerly walked over to the door.

"Don't push yourself." Inuyasha sighed as he returned the reluctant girl to her bed. "What do you want?" He asked.

"Hot chocolate." She said pouting from her bed.

"What is that?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"See, just let me do it and don't worry your little head about it!" She said.

"No. I'll do it just tell me what it is." He said, getting more and more worked up.

"It's in a packet that says "hot chocolate" just open it and put it in some boiling water" She gave in rolling over, she heard him walk out of the room. She surveyed her room it seemed normal but the house was too quiet. She looked at the clock and sighed. School was still going on and she was lying in bed, she somehow doubted Inuyasha had bothered to sign them out. Speaking of the devil he came back in and handed her the drink.

"Inuyasha?" She eyed him blankly.

"Yeah?" He responded.

She eyed the hot chocolate again. He had put a chocolate bar in boiling water. She didn't know what to say. Blinking down at the bizarre drink. "This looks great!" She lied feeling slightly sorry for the foolish hanyou. She sipped it and made yummy yummy noises. He smiled and went out to fetch something.

She got out of bed and quickly tipped the drink out of the window. When she heard Inuyasha coming up the stairs she jumped back in her bed.

"You've finished already?" he asked surprised.

"Yeah, it was just so great I guzzled it straight down." Kagome smiled.

"Want me to go and make you another one?" he asked.

"No, no thank you!" She beamed at him.

"Kagome?" He said quietly. She looked up at him to see he was looking down at the floor, obviously uncomfortable.

"Yes Inuyasha?" She asked.

"What happened… with… Naraku?" He asked in a whisper before looking up to see Kagome gazing out of the window.

"It all happened so fast…" She began the story right from meeting Naraku in the hallway, to the event in the alcove. Inuyasha stared on with mixed emotions not knowing what to say to reassure Kagome. When she mentioned the part about the light which had burnt Naraku, he looked up to her face. And saw she had pulled her knees into her chest. A thought suddenly popped into his head and he rested his hand on her foot.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"My mom used to do it to me when I was sad." He said looking into her eyes. She smiled softly at him before stumbling successfully out of bed.

"What have I told you about pushing yourself!" He said grabbing her hand.

"Inuyasha I need the toilet, however much I'm sure you would love to accompany me I'm afraid I have more pride then that." She said before carefully walking out of the room. Inuyasha blushed; Stupid girl he thought before his thoughts returned to what she had told him. The tale of how she had used a blinding light to save herself from Naraku, there was no doubt about it. It was the ancient power of a miko, if trained correctly she could become a powerful asset. He thought that something felt familiar, something about his current situation. He shook his head to dispel these strange thoughts. He looked up to see the girl re-enter the room.

"Inuyasha what happened between you and Naraku?" Kagome asked, Inuyasha looked at her shocked but decided it was about time he told her.

"To be honest with you." He looked down. "I can't remember." She sighed.

"There must be something!" She said.

"Well… I can remember the end." He said quietly she shuffled off the bed to hear better. "I remember yelling at him. Being totally consumed by anger. Then… you." He looked into Kagome's eyes in his final sentence.

"Me?"

"You." Kagome looked into his face; she didn't understand what he was trying to say.

"But Inuyasha… I'm 16 years old. It couldn't have been me." Her head was screaming out for a rational explanation.

"Hmm…" He was no longer listening, he was staring into her face his face getting closer to hers. Kagome blushed.

"Inuyasha what the hell are you doing?" She asked startled by his bizarre actions. The boy in question jumped, seemingly not noticing what he was doing.

"What? What was I doing?" He asked looking irritated.

"You were the one making a move on me dog breath not the other way around." Inuyasha stood up, angry, but he failed to hide his blush.

"In your dreams." She could see him searching his brains for an insult. "I would never-," He decided against whatever he was planning on saying. "You're just a human." His final speech was somewhat quieter than the preceding ones.

She is a human, weak. The risks I've made her face. Guilt consumed Inuyasha as he thought about the danger he had put Kagome in. The girl in question looked at him with a confused expression on her face. "I'm sorry."

Kagome was taken aback by the sudden apology she had called him dog breath yet it was still him saying sorry. "Inuyasha?" He wasn't listening, too busy dwelling on something Kagome didn't understand, until he broke the silence…

"For putting you in so much danger earlier." He looked down at the floor; Kagome was suddenly reminded of her younger brother when he was forced to apologize. She smiled.

Why is she smiling? Inuyasha thought looking into the girls face.

Naraku sat in his mansion looking out onto the grey lake. His nurse, Kanna was treating his wounds.

"Naraku, how did this happen?" Kanna asked her face showing no emotion.

"Does that really matter?" Naraku was irritated by the fact that a weak human girl had harmed him.

"It would help with the treatment." Kanna replied not even looking up from the various burns.

"Some girl… there was a blinding flash and then…" Naraku indicated the various burns with a wave of his hand.

"Holy power?" Kanna asked this more to herself than Naraku. She finished rubbing a strange cream onto the burns. "That should do it, you should be fine now." Naraku ignored this and continued to glare out of the window. What was that? Holy? She couldn't be… His thoughts were all over the place, his mind in total chaos.

"Fetch Kagura." Naraku said as Kanna was about to exit the room, she nodded and continued out. Mere seconds later Kagura entered the room her magenta eyes narrowed in a scowl as she noticed the young master.

"Naraku, you asked for me?"

"Yes Kagura you must infiltrate my high school and protect me from the evil Inu and his priestess friend." He said this so simply that Kagura was slightly taken aback.

"This won't be easy Naraku." She said, still glaring at the young master. She despised him more than anything; everything had been fine before him.

"Kagura, do not state things which are obvious."

Kagura departed and walked down the corridor. There was no way of getting out of her contract with Naraku since he had stolen her heart which was now kept in a jar, just out of her reach. There was no point in fighting his decision. Resistance against Naraku is futile.
