"What happened InuYasha? She smells okay, just worried and upset." He asked. "Well one girl was raped. The rest were beating along with Kagome. She accidently called me as it was happening… I never want to hear anything like that again…" I replied. He nodded and looked grim. Well more grim then usual. "I take it drugs were involved?" He asked. I nodded and sighed. "I shouldn't have left her there alone." He cuffed me right upside the head. "What the hell?" I asked. "You shouldn't have yes, but stop beating yourself up over it. The drugs would have affected you even if you had of stayed. Your nose is too sensitive. Just count your blessings Kagome is okay and pray for the young one that was raped." He said. I nodded and looked back at Kagome who seemed to have fallen in love with Speck. She was hugging her close and nuzzling her with her nose. Speck was purring and licking her nose every chance she got. "Thanks Sess." I said and walked back over to her.
"InuYasha I love this kitten!" She said when I walked up. I smiled and hugged her close hugging Speck too. "I love her to." She blinked at me and smiled a bit. "You like cats?" I shrugged a bit. "Some of them." She laughed a bit and my heart jumped for joy inside. I would do anything to make her smile. "Come on in. You can bring Speck if you'd like." I said. She nodded and followed me inside.
"Would you like something to drink?" She nodded and I handed her a Coke from the refrigerator. "Is that okay?" She nodded and handed Speck to me. Once she had popped the top open she took Speck back. "Come on up to my room. We'll watch something on TV unless you want to talk to Sesshomaru now?" She took my hand in hers. "Can we watch something first?" It was barely a whisper but I knew she was probably trying to build up her courage and calm down a bit. I nodded and led her up to my room.
It wasn't messy but I did have to pick up a few cloths and throw them in the corner. I flipped on the TV and sat down beside her on my bed. She was still rubbing Speck. I lay down and smiled up at her. "What do you want to watch?" She shrugged.
"Kagome lay down." I said. She obliged and I put my arm around her. I rolled over onto my side and she sat Speck down onto the floor and rolled over to. I pulled her close and tight against me. "Kagome, I know you haven't has a good day or couple days for that matter but I'm here for you. Kikyo is my past and I want to help you more then anything." I said truthfully in her ear. She smiled up at me and looked tearful. "What's wrong?" I asked. "That was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me." She said quietly.
"Hmm." I hummed leaning forward. I stopped short of kissing her and watched her eyes. Her eyes didn't betray anything so I closed the gap. I watched her expression as she blinked and closed her eyes kissing me back. Speck jumped up and licked my cheek then hers. I smiled a bit against her lips and closed my eyes the rest of the way.
She leaned back and smiled. "Thank you InuYasha." She said and lay back down on my arm, snuggling into my chest. I lay down and held her close. 'No one will hurt you again Kagome. I won't let them.' I thought. My heart was pounding against my ribs. Having Kagome so close was doing things to me that nobody else ever had; even Kikyo. Could I be falling in love? Would I be able to trust Kagome like I had trusted Kikyo? I smiled down at her as she clung to my shirt and looked up at me questioningly. I don't know but for now I would enjoy Kagome's warmth.
