Chapter 14:

Kagome's pov:

I never knew this was here out of all the years I lived here. Inuyasha took me to a little Ice cream parlor that's not entirely remote but it's defiantly not in the city part of town. So I don't have to worry about if he is trying to kidnap me or something. It's cute with its little decorative chairs and tables and the little hanging lights. We ordered through the little window that sat next to the door. See, you don't go inside! You order from the window, the sweet old lady makes either the ice cream or slushy of your choice, gives it to you, and you sit in the chairs and observe the scenery. I ordered my favorite, cookies and cream, and Inuyasha ordered chocolate.

"How do you know of this place?" I took a huge bite but regretted it because it was cold on my teeth.

"Careful, its cold." He smirked and then took a bite out of his.

"I know that!" I licked my lips of ice cream residue.

"My mom used to take me here when I was younger. We used to always sit at that table." He pointed to the table in the corner of the fenced in patio area. I imagined Izayoi and a way younger Inuyasha sitting over there. He would be eating his ice cream and somehow he gets it on his forehead. Izayoi would reach over to try and wipe it off but then 30 seconds later it would be there again. I giggled at my little daydream.

"Come on." I grabbed hold of his free hand and he eyes darted to mine, almost questioningly, but mostly shocked. I smiled and lead him over to the little table. I took the seat I imagined Izayoi sitting in and Inuyasha took the other. When you look almost in front of you but somewhat to the left you kind of overlook a forest of trees and beyond that is the city and the sun sets right in between two large sky scrapers where downtown is.

"I can see why you choose this spot." I whispered still looking at the beauty in it all. I looked back at him and noticed him staring at me with this goofy grin. I felt my cheeks heat up suddenly. 'Stop it Kagome! Ugh you make me want to hurl!'

"What are you looking at? Do I have ice cream on my face?" I took the napkin that the lady gave and tried to wipe off whatever he was looking at.

"No, I'm just looking at you. Why? Is it wrong for me to look at you?" He licked his ice cream and raised his eyebrows. I couldn't hold back a laugh when he looked like that with his ears standing straight up, he really looked like a puppy for a second!

"What are you laughing at, Higurashi?" He had a chocolate mustache and I figured not to tell him, maybe he'll figure it out.

"Nothing, never mind." I smiled and started back on my Ice cream. But the puppy image stuck in my mind and I couldn't stop laughing.

"So tell me about yourself." He wiped his face with a napkin and leaned back in the little black metal chair. He's already done? Oh my kami, I need to get my food game on jeez..

"I told you already what happened." I brushed my hair behind my ear.

"No, not that part of your life. I want to know what make you happy, what you like, what are the memories you want to relive?" My eyes went wide and I bit my lips after licking them. Wow, Inuyasha isn't the Inuyasha everyone says he is.

"Oh." I bit my lip trying to think of something.

"Didn't you say you did gymnastics at one point? Tell me about it." He crossed his arms over his chest probably figuring out that I had nothing.

"I, uh, okay… Gymnastics. Right. Well, when I was little I took classes to see if I could do it. I was actually really good at it. It became something me and my dad did. It was just me and him, you know. He would take me and watch and whenever I learned something knew he would take me to this little fast-food diner. For a while I did competitive and I earned medals for it. I gave them all to my dad and he would frame them." I looked down at my hands and noticed a teardrop fall on my arm. I quickly wiped my eyes.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered.

"No, don't be. But if you loved it so much why did you stop?"

"Well, Onigumo was possessive. He didn't want me going anymore so I was forced to stop. He told my mom to pack everything that had anything to do with my father away to storage. He said 'Your father is of the past, forget him.' He wanted to make sure that he was in control. That he was the king of the house."

"That's messed up.." After a few seconds of silence he spoke again. "What about other things you did with your dad?"

"When I wasn't doing gymnastics, he would take me and Sango to random places like the beach, the ice rink, the carnivals, the movies, and different theme parks and more. He is, was, the dad that everybody wanted." I smiled from all the memories coming back to me.

"What was your favorite place you guys went to?" He tilted his head to the side.

"That's easy! Busch gardens. We went the last summer of him being alive. I was finally tall enough to ride the roller coasters. Sango and I were so scared; he held both our hands the whole line of Kumba, our first roller coaster ever! Her and I were jumping up in down with anticipation. My dad thought that if he were to loosen his grip we would just hop away. And when we heard the screams of other riders we both looked at each other like 'uh oh what did we get ourselves into.' When it was our turn my dad insisted we sat in the front row, I think he purposefully did that, my dad sat in between the both of us. Her and I were shrieking and just squirming in our seats as they went around checking the seat belts. When we started moving I screamed and my dad just laughed at us. And As we were going up the chain lift he grabs my hand, looks straight into my eyes and says 'If you fall out, I tell your mom you went out bravely!'. Haha! I was so angry at him for saying that. At the very top of the chain-lift it kind of dips and then turns as you go down. At that part I froze but it wasn't of fear, ya know. I felt weightless and like I was flying. I remember watching everything fly past me in slow motion. For that moment in my life I felt free, like really free and I could do anything because nothing would stop me. That was one of my favorite memories of him." My mouth was hurting from smiling the whole time.

When I was looked at him he was just sitting there grinning.

"He does seem like a cool dad. I wish I met him."

I licked my lips suddenly feeling like they were chapped.

"Know what." He began and I listened. "I'm going to take you, Sango, and Miroku to Busch Gardens one weekend." He sat up and smiled as if he accomplished something.

"Wh-what?" I choked on my ice cream and when it went down; I asked "You're joking right?"

"I'm serious! Hell you can bring your mom. It can be like a family-friend vacation kind of thing. There is no way in hell my mom is going to let me drive hours to a place without at least her or my dad. So you, Sango, Miroku, your mom, my dad, my mom, and me!" He threw up his hands in an 'It's all good' gesture.

"Oh my kami you're crazy.." I just shook my head. "You're not paying for me. I'm not going." I crossed my arms, the gesture saying 'Try me'.

"Yes, you are it's all done. The deal is sealed." He smirked like he knew something I didn't.

"Uh! No! I'm not!" I stood up and pushed the chair back. "And It can't be 'Sealed' unless you have like an ear piece in your ear and you're talking to the Busch Gardens owner right now!"

"My dad's friends with the owner. I can just send my dad a little text right now and he'll talk to him" He slowly took out his phone and then swung it back and forth in between his fingers, in a mockingly manor.

"No! You're not paying for me!" I reached for his phone, grabbed it, and started running around. The area was surrounded by grass and trees were scattered until you reach the other side of the rode, it was all forest then.

His eyes went wide maybe 5 seconds after it hit his little brain that I had his phone. Running with it.

"Hey!" for middle school I did track for 2 years, so I was pretty fast for a girl. I ran around the fence and into the grassy field that sat next to the patio. I heard his footsteps behind me, too close for comfort, so I pushed myself a little harder. Since there were trees I used them to my advantage. I did a quick turn to the left and then I waited a little to take a right.

"I thought hanyou's were supposed to be fa-AH!" Next thing I knew, I was tumbling on the floor with Inuyasha on my back. He quickly twisted me around so that way I faced him while he was leaning over me, supporting his weight on his elbows. I was laughing so hard I started to snort, which caused both of us to go hysteric.

"You spoke too early." He laughter died and then he gave a big toothy grin.

"Shut up…." I could barely contain the smile on my face. We sat there just looking at each other. My lips suddenly felt chapped again, so I decided to lick them. My eyes trailed down to his lips now and I notice he clenched his jaw. I started nibbling my bottom lip. I really want to kiss him right now. Like really badly. I glanced at his eyes to find him gazing at my lips. Is he thinking the same thing? Does he want to kiss me, too? I know I have made out with a couple guys before, but that didn't count. I was drunk at parties and well things get heated, things get dirty, and boom that happened. But this is Inuyasha we're talking about. The hottest guy at school. The bad boy I wanted to avoid getting in trouble with. I was supposed to stay away from him. But, now I want him to kiss me... I want him to want to kiss me as much as I want to kiss him. I saw him slowly lean in closer. My breathing stopped and my heart was skipping a beat, maybe 2 or 3. My eyes fluttered shut out of instinct. I felt his nose brush mine and that's when my lips parted.

Then out of fucking nowhere his phone starts ringing. Our eyes locked on each other and we both blew out a disappointed sigh. We both kind of had a moment where we realized what was about to happen and he cleared his throat. He lifted off the ground and helped me up before I handed him his phone.

"Yes mother?...It is?...Already?...Okay, be there in 10 minutes… Love you too…. Bye… Okay mother… Yeah...okay... bye mom!" He slammed his phone in his pocket and we both headed back to the patio. I still felt the heat in my cheeks so I just quietly grabbed my trash, threw it away, and headed to the car.

"I'm sorry about that." He silently said as we started driving on the dirt road.

"Don't be." I bit my lip, disappointed we didn't have that kiss. Man, why did Izayoi have to call at that exact moment. Everything was perfect. IT was perfect. He is perfect. Ugh why? My blessing of having him as a project partner is suddenly feeling like a curse. A really fucking hot curse! Ugh! Stupid horny teenage hormones. Turning me into a damn animal with these dirty thoughts, but oh how I want these very thoughts to happen.

"So did you like the ice cream?" He asked not making eye contact. Well at least I know I'm not the only one who feels embarrassed.

"Yeah," More than you know buddy.

'Think of something Kagome! You're in honor classes because you're smart! Use your brain! Say something damn it!'

"I liked this little date.." I said and then I wanted to slam my head into a moving train.

"So this is a date?" He grinned and tilted his head to the side to get a better view of me.

Good! This is good! He is being a smartass! He thinks this is funny! Wait he thinks this is funny? What?

"Don't make me change my mind, Inuyasha!" I saw him raise his eyebrows and bite his lips to hold back a laugh. Oh that is so sexy…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Mom, we're back!" Inuyasha announced when we walked through his front door. I started to walk upstairs, but stopped.

"Hey. I'll go get my bags so you can drop me off." I turned to him, but before he could say anything his mother chimed in.

"Oh nonsense, dear! You can eat with us!" She smiled while wiping her hands on her apron, and then she untied it from the back and placed it on the back of a chair.

"Are you sure? I don't want to interfere with your family dinner." My face scrunched up in guilt as a slightly shook my head.

"Oh please, we hardly have any of Inuyasha's friends eat over, well the ones we like and tolerate. The others are always smelly and uncontrollable." She pitched the inner corners of her eyes but then fixed herself with a smile.

"Hello, dear Kagome is going to be eating dinner with us. Isn't that lovely?" She turned to her husband who walked in just beside her.

InuTashio suddenly walked into the room. His face transformed from a welcoming smile to a glare, but it wasn't mean or rude. It was more like he was trying to decipher something or figure me out. We stared at each other for a good awkward minute until he quickly nodded a hello. What was that about?

"Uh, hi. Ahem, it's good to see you Mr. Takahashi." I cleared my throat and bowed.

"You, too. Um Inuyasha can I please speak to you in my office. Now." He turned on his heel and headed back to where he came out of. His voice was sharp at that last word, making me jump slightly. I looked at Inuyasha's face. His reaction said 'what is it, now?' But I had a gut feeling that it has to deal with me.

I opened my mouth suddenly, but then shut it when nothing came out. Inuyasha turned to me before walking away.

"I'll be right back." He offered a half smile then he was off.

"Kagome, can you help me make the table while the boys have their little chat?" She smiled.

"Sure thing." I tried to pull off a decent smile to hide my nervousness. Their 'little' chat has got my stomach churning for some reason and I don't like it.

Inuyasha's pov:

I eyed my father as he walked to his desk, turned around, and sat on it while crossing his arms over his chest. Since his sleeves were up, I could see the almost already healed claw marks I made on him. Man, I forgot about that, well good thing I remembered because I need to talk to him.

"What happened to Kagome?" He asked sternly, assuming I knew what the fuck he is talking about.

"What are you talking about?" I threw my hands up and raised my brows. I think he is losing it. What does he mean 'what happened to her?' Nothing? She came over? Unless he's talking about what I saw last night, but I didn't ask Kagome that. I don't want to scare her if something did happen. Even though I know something happened.

"You can't smell it? You don't smell the…" His voice trailed off as he looked at nowhere in particular. He wiped his hand over his face but stopped when it covered his mouth and mumbled something unintelligible.

"I thought we went through this already! I. can't. Smell. Kagome. At all. None." I stared at him trying to give him my best 'are you kidding me' face. Does he have short term memory loss? Is that a part of old age symptoms?

He started mumbling more to himself and all I could do was scratch the back of my neck.

"Dad?" I arched my brow still scratching my neck.

"Are you sure you can't smell it?" He looked at me kind of in a hopeful way.

I just shook my head no.

Unexpected knocks on the door ripped us from this conversation. I looked through the glass windows on the door and saw Kagome standing blushing. She's so cute when she blushes. Not that I'll ever admit that to anyone. Ever.

My dad walked over and opened the door all the way.

"Yes dear?" My dad sounded and looked completely fine, but my nose is picking up his real emotions. Regret, sadness, and hurt. What is going on?

"Um, Izayoi is uh, wanted me to tell you, tell you both, that dinner is ready and on the table." She faked a big smile at the end of that sentenced and I couldn't hold my laughter. She just looked so pitiful! She sent me a glare that could have frozen over hell and I stopped laughing abruptly. Damn, this woman gets to me.

"Oh yes, Kagome. Please tell Izayoi that we will be out in a second." He added with a flat smile. Well thanks dad for not being the most boring person in the world. Note the sarcasm. Then he shut the door when she walked away.

"You couldn't be less boring?" I glared at him.

He ignored my comment and just said, "We will finish this conversation another time." He looked at me from the corner of his eye and then walked out. Something is wrong, I can tell, but what?

Kagome's Pov:

When Izayoi and I finished with the table we both decided to sit down and just chat.

"So as we were in the line to get on Big Thunder at Rapids we stopped for a second because we heard the screams of others and of course little boys at the age of 8 they thought it was funny. That is until they saw these well, not to be rude, but very thick women shoot out of the tunnel and they went so fast that they almost touched the tube where water shot out. The looks of sheer terror on their faces were priceless! Me and InuTashio had to drag them the rest of the way up!" She and I were laughing so hard we were crying.

"Okay, mom that's enough…" I wiped a tear away as I looked up at Inuyasha, whose face was bright red. He walked over to my side and sat to the right of me while InuTashio sat at the end of the table next to his wife.

"So the almighty Inuyasha was scared at one point in his life? Who would of thought?" I grinned at his annoyance. He just squint his eyes, smiled flatly, and then slowly nodded.

"Oh yeah? Having fun there, Higurashi?" He stopped and then glared at his mom.

"It's so weird to see the oh-I'm-so-tough Inuyasha embarrassed! I mean his ego is through the roof! But I won't get used to it." I just smirked.

"Yes he definitely gets it from his father!" This time InuTashio slowly looked at his wife blankly and she just shrugged, the gesture saying 'What?'

"Alright, are you guys done? Huh?" He just threw his hands up and looked around the table.

"Oh calm down… We're just messing with you." I Laughed and softly pushed his shoulder. This earned me a glare.

"Keh…" He just grabbed the food he wanted, put it on his plate and started eating.

'Grumpy much?' I thought to myself.

"Oh, Sesshomaru Thank you for joining us." I saw Izayoi look up past me and I turned to see almost a replica of Inuyasha. He is the one I bumped into the other day. He walked very gracefully to the chair that was next to me on the edge of the table. He took his seat and planted himself in it, not making a noise. Is he like a ghost or something? His eyes met mine and he just stared at me and then his eyes trailed over my body. Way to make a girl feel welcomed, creep. I just looked away trying to ignore his stares.

I started on my own plate that I made while the boys were talking. I grabbed myself a bowl of salad as my entrée, Slices of steak that were perfectly marinated in in seasoning, mash potatoes that weren't too mushy but wasn't too clumpy, and I grabbed myself the asparagus that was marinated in lime and lemon juice with a hint of seasoning, but I couldn't tell what kind.

"Izayoi this is amazing! How did you do it?" I nearly inhaled it all in one bite. My taste buds were just screaming for the flavor of it all. I took a bite from the steak and a little groan vibrated from my throat. Instantly I covered my mouth with both hands and waited until I swallowed to speak. By then InuTashio was laughing with Izayoi, Inuyasha went stiff in his chair, and Sesshomaru just held a grin and nodded.

"I'm so sorry! That was so rude of me!" I brushed my hair behind my ear, bit my lip, and tried to hold back my blush.

"No, it's fine. I'm just glad you like it!" She laughed while wiping her mouth with her napkin.

"You seriously need a cooking show, Izayoi!" I started again trying to forget that awkward moment as best as I could.

"So this is your bitch, Inuyasha? She seems like a keeper." Inuyasha and I both choked on our food and I went into a hysteric coughing attack.

"What?!" Inuyasha yelled obviously frazzled.

"Oh dear are you okay?" Izayoi stood from her seat ready to come over and give me the Heimlich.

"Yes, I am. Thank you." I gathered myself before I was ready to pounce on Sesshomaru.

"Excuse me?" I looked towards him and he held this smug grin on his face that made me even angrier.

"Kagome… Just forget what he said…" Inuyasha voice held a concerned warning.

I stood up so that way I was taller than him. Yes, maybe by an inch or two, but still character counts. I need to seem tough even though I'm, well, me. He simply chuckled, a deep chuckle that forced shivers down my back, and stood up. I felt my heart stop working. He was at least 2 feet taller than me. Easily he could just pick me up, throw me over his shoulder, and walk around all day without breaking a sweat. What the fuck am I doing?

'From his aura I can tell he's full demon because it's just like InuTashio's aura… Wait why can I see his aura? Wait is it that power thing?' His voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"Little girl I suggest you walk away from your defeat." His eyes gleaming waiting for me to challenge him, he wants me to. I can feel it.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do, dog." I narrowed my eyes and put my hands on my hips. He wants to play this game well fine let's play.

"I swear, Sesshomaru if you hurt her…" I looked at Inuyasha confused but then suddenly I was picked up off the floor and thrown over Sesshomaru's shoulder.

"What the-." With the speed of lightning I was outside by the pool still hanging like a ragdoll.

"AHHHH! OH MY KAMI WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I thrashed at his back wanting him to put me down.

"Sesshomaru don't!" Inuyasha yelled but by the time he was done it was too late. I hit the water. At the moment I wasn't scared, no I was pissed. Actually pissed doesn't cover how angry I am, right now. Why do I always end up in his pool whenever I'm over!

"You….." My voice was eerily demonic. I stared up at Sesshomaru and watched as Inuyasha ran to the edge of the pool.

"Are you okay?" He held his hand, but I ignored it, not trying to be rude though.

I walked up the steps and to the assholes side. I was wrong when I thought Inuyasha was the biggest jerk in the world. No, this standing dick in front of me holds the trophy of that!

"What THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? WHAT IN THE WORLD POSSESSED YOU TO JUST PICK ME UP AND THROW ME IN YOUR POOL LIKE THAT!?" Inuyasha grabbed me from behind and tried to hold me back. I know it's not for Sesshomaru's sake, but for mine.

"You need to know your place, women." He just grinned. Oh my god I want to kill him!

"Yeah? Is that so? Well your place is on a cactus, prick!" I thrashed in Inuyasha's arms, but he just tightened.

"Please, just stop. Sesshomaru is capable of a lot and I don't want him to hurt you." Inuyasha whispered in my ear. "Please..." He sounded so sincere that I at least stopped fighting back.

"This isn't over, asshole." As Inuyasha took my hand and lead me inside, I seethed at Sesshomaru.

"Oh yes it is." Inuyasha finished for him. As soon as we opened the door Izayoi just threw as many towels as she could at me.

"I am so sorry about that. I will speak to him later! Sesshomaru what are you thinking?" She screamed past me. I just wrapped the towel around my body before I started shivering.

"Come on, you must be cold." Inuyasha suddenly picked me up bridal style and instantly we were in his room.

"Holy shit I need to get used to that." He let me down and I tried to steady myself.

"Sesshomaru is something of his own. He does things his own way. As soon as you said 'excuse me' I knew this wasn't going to be good." He grabbed a t-shirt and basketball shorts and handed them to me.

"I know it's nothing but at least you don't have to walk around naked. Unless you're totally cool with that then then that's fine with me." I hit him with his clothes and he laughed.

"Of course you would make all this into a perverted joke." I laughed and rolled my eyes as I went into his bathroom.

I quickly peeled off the clothes and hung them up on the rack that was in the shower. I pulled the shirt over my head and tightened the basketball shorts around my waist. I took a rubber band and pulled my hair into a messy bun. Hey it looks like I just pulled this from my closet.

"Are you good?" He asked through the door.

"Yeah, I'm good." I walked through the door. He stood there for a moment, he almost looked in awe.

"What's wrong?" I asked with my brows furrowed. Was it because I was in his clothes?

He just shook his head, "Nothing. Nothing at all." He smiled and then he hurried us downstairs before our food got cold.

Dinner was awkward after that. That whole pool stunt ruined it! Luckily Sesshomaru went up to his room before I came down. Otherwise this was going to end badly. After we were done InuTashio asked to see me in his office. See I told you something was up!

We headed into his office. This is actually the first time I've been in here.

"Kagome, come sit." He gestured to the two chairs in front of his desk. I chose the one to his left.

"InuTashio? You are kind of freaking me out a little?" I said.

"You fought back didn't you?" I just stared at him.

"Wh-what?" I stuttered on my words from my breath getting caught in my throat. He couldn't know! I didn't tell him! It's impossible! I didn't even tell Inuyasha, how could he have?

"Don't play dumb with me, Kagome. I know that your step-father abused you." I flinched when he said the word 'abused'. "But let's not worry about that just this second what I need to know is what happened when you fought back." He spoke very slowly and his voice was soft. My stomach flipped and I was about ready to just die.

"H-how do you know that?" I felt the air in my lungs escape me and I stared at him, my mouth split. I didn't realize it until my nails felt like they would tear off but I was gripping the wooden armrest.

"Kagome… answer the question. Trust me if it wasn't important I wouldn't be asking." He spoke in a patient manor.

I stared at him for what seemed like eternity. First of all, how does he know? Honestly the only way for him to know that, any of it, was if he was in my head. Secondly, why is it so important? That power thing happened, I don't understand. Does he know what it is? Why do I even need to tell him?

'Tell him he needs to know….' That voice said again. I licked my lips slowly and bit the bottom one. I don't know why but I felt the need to tell him not just because of the girl or whatever it is but, because my gut told me.

"When he went too far…" I pinched the inner corners of my eyes, the memories still very vivid. "Something in me snapped. I don't know what it was but without it, I.. I would probably.." I shook my head not even wanting to think of that. "Anyways, out of nowhere my hands started glowing and became scorching hot. This light shot out of my hands. Before I knew Onigumo was across the room with flesh burned to a crisp." I fiddled with my fingers not looking at InuTashio. He probably thinks I'm a whore. Trash would be an understatement.

"It was very brave of you to tell me that. But what you told me is very important information." He folded his hands and looked at them sadly but then covered it with a fake smile.

"Why is it important?" I arched a brow.

"I will let you know in due time, I still need more information and then I will let you know what is going on with you and your 'situation'." I knew he meant the hand power thing. I looked down at my feet shuffling them a little.

"What are you going to do about Onigumo?" With the information I gave him, it could cause bad things to happen. Very bad things.

"I have a feeling that he will be dealt with in due time. But do you still live there?" What the fuck does that mean? How is he going to deal with him?

"Uh… No me and my mother left when the hand thing happened. He could be dead actually I don't know. Let's hope so." Oh kami I sound like a murderer. But then again I might just be one.

"Dead?" he said curiously.

"I walked up to him to see what happened and he looked unconscious." He just nodded to himself.

"Okay well that's good. Thank you for talking to me, Kagome." He smiled and I guess that the conversation was over.

"You can go now." He gestured to the door and I simply obeyed.

"But, Kagome…" He said as I put my hand on the handle and I looked at him. "Don't share this with anybody until we figure out what we're dealing with, including Inuyasha." I nodded and then walked out.

I looked at my phone to see what time it is. 'Oh shit moms going to kill me! It's 9:30!' With what happened with…. Onigumo. My mom wants to know for sure that I'm safe and okay.

Walking through the kitchen I spotted Izayoi. Hopefully she can give me a ride. It's not far, so it wouldn't be much of a problem with gas.

"Izayoi?" My voice was a little pitchy. She looked up from the dishes she was cleaning and gave me a genuine smile.

"Yes, dear?" She looked back down at continued to scrub vigorously at a piece of food that wouldn't come off.

"Do you think you could give me ride? I just need you to drop me off at the motel. It's not far from here at all." I pleaded.

"Sure, not a problem. Just let me finish these up and we will go." She smiled and glanced at me for a second.

"Thank you!" I bowed and she just waved me off, letting soapy water fling everywhere.

"Stop it! You do that to your elders! I'm still in my 20's!" She laughed at herself and I just giggled. She told me to get my things and get ready. Inuyasha came down the stairs just as I walked into the foyer.

"You're leaving?" He sounded disappointed and frowned.

"Well yeah it's almost ten. My mom is probably worried!" I just smirked at him, a little in shock that he wanted me to stay but that quickly got shoved away when he spoke again.

"Is your mom picking you up?" He stood closer to me, only maybe 2 feet away. I could smell his cologne that he likes to wear every day. I don't know what it is but it smells… delicious. I slowly liked my lips and shook my head.

"Your mom." His mouth formed an 'o'.

"I'll walk you out then." He gestured towards the door.

"I still have to get my stuff, Takahashi. You rushing me to get out?" I arched a brow and held a grin. I saw his eyes widen and he shook his hands in front of him trying to dismiss what I said.

"No! No I just… I ugh.. I'll go get your back pack…" He grumbled while sluggishly turning around and in the instant he was gone and then back again with my stuff in his hands.

"I got to get used to that.." I shook my head while trying to control my breathing. Him doing that is like being in a haunted house at Fright nights and the lights flash uncontrollably; One flash he is there the next he's not. Freaky man, really freaky.

"Come on." He said after chuckling at my comment. He opened the door for me and when I went through he followed closely behind.

It was dark and the only light was coming from the security light that flicks on when sensing movement. But it was still hard to see since it was hanging on the 2nd or 3rd story corner. I had to squint to see the pathway to the driveway. I stumbled on a few rocks cursing under my breath while Inuyasha was laughing at me.

"Hey! Not everyone has awesome night vision!" I pushed his shoulder which didn't do much but ended up pushing me back instead. I stopped and faced him when we got to the parked car that was supposedly Izayoi's. I was barely able to see his face because the light was shining from behind him almost blinding me.

"Um… I had fun today… Honestly…" He scratched the back of his neck and placed his hand into his back pocket a little awkward like.

I nodded slowly while licking my lips and nibbling the bottom one. We were a foot apart and I could feel his breath tickle my skin giving me chills and goose bumps. I brushed my hand over my forearm hoping to cover it.

"Me too…" I saw the outline of his cheek bubble up meaning he smiled, but knowing Inuyasha he had that sexy grin plastered on his face.

Flashes of earlier shot through my head of him hovering over me, his nose brushing over mine, and that kiss that almost happened but didn't. The kiss I wanted so desperately to happen. I imagined in my head what could have happened if Izayoi didn't call. If we did kiss how would it end up? Both of us out of breath while sweat trickled from our forehead or would it even stop? Would we have gone on till we had our clothes on the floor? I switched my weight onto my left foot feeling the heat rise in me. Oh Kami please don't do this to me right now… I can't be feeling like that at this moment.

I heard Inuyasha clear his throat, twice, and shifted uncomfortably to the other side. Was he thinking what I was thinking too?

Out of nowhere he brought his hands up to my face and our lips connected. At first I was frozen still, shocked, but then that vanished nearly instantly. I placed my hands on the side of his face and kissed him back, a little too roughly for my liking but it ended up being hot so I don't mind. His tongue grazed across my bottom lip and then nibbled it lightly, demanding entrance. My lips parted allowing him access. My hand slid to the back of his head and I gripped his hair as his hand trailed down to my sides and he let them sit there. The motion caused me to shiver under his touch. His tongue danced around with mine but then became aggressive fighting for dominance. A moan vibrated from my throat when I gave in and he won. At that he lifted me up by my waist and then slid his hands into the inner part of my thighs. My legs wrapped and tightened around his body to keep me in place. When he made sure I was secure, his hands roamed my body and I allowed it. I felt my skin flush. Our lips separated from being out of breath and we rested our foreheads against each other, our sweat mixing.

"Wow…" I said breathlessly while a smile crept onto my face. I sucked my bottom lip in my mouth and ran my tongue across it his taste still lingering there.

My eyes slowly opened and were greeted by crimson red ones.

"Inuyasha?..." I slowly pushed back with my hands on his chest. Instead of silver hair, puppy ears, gold eyes, and a toothy grin staring at me there was black hair, crimson eyes, and a devilish grin. Fear surrounding me. Onigumo… no….. he can't!

"AH!" I thrashed out of his arms and ran back wards until I hit Izayoi's car. I looked at the car behind me panicking wishing it wasn't there. When I saw the reflection behind me in the window move closer I screamed.

"Leave me alone!" I closed my eyes and started throwing punches randomly. I felt large arms grasp around me to hold me still. I squirmed trying to get away.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's screamed and my eyes shot open. Onigumo no longer here. I looked around with my jaw dropped. Where could he have gone?! Where did he go!? How did he even show up?!

My chest was going in and out on a rapid pace. Inuyasha expression laced with worry. He took a step back to give me space.

"I-I-I… Ah!" My phone started vibrating in my pocket causing me to jump. I took it out and saw my mom's picture on the screen, my shaking figures swiped across it answering her call. I inhaled a shaky breath and closed my eyes while swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Yeah mom?" I answered as calming as I could.

"Kagome Higurashi! Where the hell are you!? Why haven't you called me!? I have been worried sick! I called up Sango to see if you and she got to her house and she said you weren't there! I tried calling but it went to voicemail! When you get here ooohhh you are so in trouble!" I took the phone away from my ear and cringed under her yelling.

"I'm so sorry mama! I was just on my way now! I'm sorry please don't be angry!" I said as fast as I could to stop her yelling.

"And how are you going to get here." Her voice questioningly.

"Inuyasha's mom."

"Wait… Inuyasha… I heard that name be- Izayoi! You're with Izayoi!" She yelled and once again I pulled the phone away from my ear.

"Yes mama…. Listen I'll be home in a few love you! Bye!" I hung up before she made me deaf.

"Phew sorry about that." I turned back around and looked up at him forgetting about the whole Onigumo incident a few seconds ago. Inuyasha was just looking down at the ground with his hands in his pocket while he kicked the small pebbles of gravel.

"What's wrong?" My brows furrowed and I took a step closer. He just put a hand up to stop me.

"Nothing I'll see you Monday, Kagome." He turned around and walked inside just as his mother walked out.

'Wh-what?' I felt a pang in my chest as I replayed him slamming the door over and over in my head.

"Ready to go?" Izayoi asked and I just nodded masking my hurt and sadness from his abrupt goodbye with a fake smile.

"Mhm.."
