-I Don't Own inuyasha or Anything Else I May Reference -
Lily felt some relief after Touga's car pulled up in front of the mansion. It had been slightly rough getting home.
After the explosion her and Chad had gone to find/revive Touga and Sesshomaru. They were bruised and bloody but thanks to Demon healing, they were alive. Touga suggested walking to a distance from the fiery mansion before calling one of Touga's personal drivers to come get them. It would do no good to be seen near the place. There would surely be an investigation.
They walked for miles, bruised, bloody, and listening to a very cranky Rooster. Touga had been nominated to help him walk sense he was the one insisting on walking so far.
But all that was over they were back at the mansion. They could see the lights on in the sitting room and see people sitting there talking. All seemed well. The guards reported no problems much to Touga's relief.
Lily on the other hand couldn't help but worry over Kouga and inuyasha. Hopefully their mission went smoother than hers had, but there was no way to know until they called. All they could do was hope.
Getting out of the car they helped each other inside. Walking inside they could hear the sounds of the others playing cards and headed that way. They would need Kagome to fix some of them up.
They came to an abrupt halt in the doorway though. There tied up in a chair and covered in sutras was Grave. He was holding cards in his hand and seemed to be enjoying himself despite his position.
"Do you have any three's?" He asked with a smile.
Kagome sighed. "Grave for the last rummy, not go fish."
"..but I like go fish."
Dj let out a scoff and a shake of his head.
Touga let out a cough to get their attention.
Kagome jumped and spun towards them. She let out a gasp at their appearance and rushed to them. Worry clear in her eyes.
After most of them were taken care of and Kagome was just helping Rooster, Touga asked her what had happened.
"Oh well Grave snuck in, but I took care of it as you can see." Kagome said with a grin as she set Rooster's leg back in its socket. The loud pop made Touga cringe but Rooster on the other hand...
Everyone was forced to cover their ears at the loud yell and string of curse words that followed after.
"*pant pant* God Damn Woman! That Fucking Hurt! A Little Warning Next Time!"
"Sorry but it had to be done and if I had told you then you would have stiffened up and made it worse." Kagome said with no remorse as she wrapped his leg.
Rooster could do nothing but pout knowing she was right... Still hurt..
"So anyway, what do we do with our new...'friend' now that we him?" Touga asked bring them back to the subject at hand.
Kagome seemed sad for a moment. " I think we should just let him go. Maybe with a warning? I've been talking with him, ...there's something off about him. He seems like he has something wrong with him. My guess is he was already ...special if that's the right word...before he was made a vampire ..and it didn't fix it. He's easily manipulated and confused. I don't have the heart to kill him." Kagome had a sheen of tears as she said it. She genuinely cared for this creature that tried to kill her, but it wouldn't be the first time she cared for someone that had she had met because they were trying to hurt her.
Touga stared at the sheen in her eyes and was touched by the caring in this woman that he cared so much for showed.
He decided to show his own by glomping her.
"Oomph!"
"Oh Kagome! You are so cute! Such a caring person!" Touga said as he held the rapidly reddening woman close.
Rooster seemingly unaffected by the touching moment proceeded to make gagging noises at the couple.
Touga glared at him still holding onto a very red Kagome. "You're just jealous of our love!"
"Oh yeah I'm totally jealous of you hugging an unconscious girl." Rooster said with a smirk as he limped out of the room.
"...huh?" Touga looked down to see that she was indeed unconscious.
He felt some guilt well in him as he carried her to his room. He hadn't meant to make her pass out. Just show her he cared.
He carefully laid her down in his bed. He brushed the hair from her face. Staring down at her.
"Well... she needed sleep anyway." Touga reasoned as he covered her up. Then leaned down to kiss her forehead before leaving.
"Sleep well my love."
