Chapter Fourteen

Inuyasha woke with a start when he felt Kagome stir beneath him.

"Inu...inuyasha...I gotta pee," she mumbled sleepily.

"Here, I'll take you."

"Oh don't be silly, I can take myself. I'll just be a minute." She wiggles out from under him and got up, slipping her shoes on her feet and wrapping his robe around herself. Inuyasha lay on his back and looked up to the ceiling.

'Wow,' he thought. 'That was awesome. Being with Kagome...so close...like we were merged into one person. I wonder if Sesshomaru and that mangy wolf will be able to pick up the scent. I don't even know if her scent has changed or not. Probably not. I'm human right now after all. Damnit, I gotta keep Koga away from Kagome. But most of all Sesshomaru. Once he finds out that I'm not going to hurt her, he'll come after her for sure.'

"Whatcha thinking about?" Kagome's voice startled him out of his revere.

"Oh nothing. Just this and that."

"Well why don't you tell me? I'm wide awake." She took his robe off, returning it to their pile of clothes on the floor, kicked her shoes off and jumped in bed with propped up on her elbows and gazed down at him expectantly. He took a strand of her hair and absentmindedly twirled it around his finger, refusing to meet her eyes.

"It's nothing...let's forget it." He cast his eyes down and frowned when he found her chest covered with the blanket. "Why'd you do that for?" He snarked.

"Inuyasha...stop trying to change the subject...what's going on?"

"I'm afraid," his voice cracked a little and he cleared his throat which still felt thick.

"Of?"

"Losing you," his eyes burned into her and she smiled, placing a hand on his cheek.

"Inuyasha, I'm not going anywhere. Promise."

"I'm not afraid of you leaving me. Well I am. But that...the thought of it...I don't even want to go there," he shook his head and continued. "I'm afraid that once Sesshomaru realizes I'm not going to kill you when we're intimate, he'll come after you himself."

"What makes you think that? Sesshomaru has no reason to come after me..."

"Psh. You aren't exactly best friends, Kagome."

"I know that! That doesn't mean he should kill me!"

"Sesshomaru blames you for me getting Tetsusaiga."

"That's ridiculous. He can't even pick it up."

"And he doesn't like you smarting off all the time."

"Why? Because I'm a human or because I'm a woman?"

"Honestly? Both. He despises all humans. But he loathes human women. All women really."

"Even his own mother?"

"Probably, I dunno. Just promise me that next time we run across him you stay away and keep your mouth shut? Please?"

"Okay okay fine. I promise," she rolled her eyes.

"Good, now come here and stop waving that cleavage in my face. You know I want you," he grinned and pulled her down to kiss him.

...

The next morning, Inuyasha startled Kagome by ripping the covers off of her and looking frantically all over the bed.

"You're bleeding, Kagome! Or at least you were bleeding," he grabbed her by the hips and moved her, finding the spot of dried blood underneath her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Inuyasha halfway shouted at her, mortified.

"Because it's normal, every woman bleeds the first time they have sex," she laughed.

"Well don't you think you should have told me that?"

"I just thought you knew..."

"How was I supposed to know?" Inuyasha looked around frantically.

"Inuyasha, honey, calm down okay? I'm fine. I promise. Just a little sore that's all."

"Sore? You're hurting? What?"

"Calm down, I'm not hurt. You can look for yourself."

"If you say so." He pulled her knees apart and looked her over thoroughly. "Don't move," he muttered and went over to her bag, pulling out a wash rag and going to dip it in the hot spring. He returned to find her in the same position and started wiping the blood from between her legs.

"Inuyasha I can clean myself up."

"Just shut up and let me take care of you," his tone was softer. He was calming down now. 'Good,' Kagome thought you herself.

Once he was satisfied, he pulled back and got off the bed. Kagome stretched and got up with him, slipping on her clothes quickly and looking to Inuyasha when she couldn't figure out how to tie the red robe.

"Come here, silly girl. So helpless," he tried to act annoyed but couldn't hide the stupid grin spread across his face. "Think we should be getting back soon?"

"Yeah...the others will start to worry."

"Good point. Grab your bag and climb on."

...

The moment Inuyasha stepped into Kaede's hut with Kagome on his back, they were greeted with smirks all around. Except for Kaede, who tried not to look at either one of them.

"What's wrong with everyone?," Inuyasha questioned as he gently slid Kagome down his back to land on her feet.

"Well we were trying to think of how to explain to Shippo what he saw last night," Miroku stated matter of factly.

"What is it Shippo? Hey Kagome, he doesn't look so good. Maybe you should get that fever checker thing and use it on him." Inuyasha knelt and put his hand to Shippo's forehead.

"I think he's just spooked," Sango offered. "Not necessarily sick."

"What was it? Did you go wondering at night? Did you see a demon? We're you attacked? Shippo, we've talked about this. You can't go off on your own especially at night, you're too young, you could've gotten hurt." Inuyasha scolded and the young fox shook his head.

"No...I...um...I saw you and Kagome...in the hot spring."

Everyone cast their eyes down, refusing to look at Inuyasha or Kagome, or Shippo for that matter.

"Wh...wha...Shippo...what did you see?" Inuyasha stuttered as he felt his face began to twitch. Kagome was standing white as a ghost behind him, unable to make a sound.

"I saw you guys taking a bath together and I saw you massaging Kagome and then you sat her on a big rock and-" Inuyasha clamped his hand over his mouth frantically.

"Outside." He yanked him up and took off running out of the hut, never removing his hand.
