Love Transcends
Chapter Five: Human Inuyasha
Kagome opened the door to her house. "I'm home minna!" she closed the door behind her, dropping her bag off at the door. Her black school shoes slid off her feet and she placed on her pale blue house slippers. She walked down the hall, peeping in all the rooms, not seeing anyone. Kagome frowned. There was no way her mother had taken Inuyasha to a local hospital. She sighed. Kagome looked up the stair way, and started to climb. Either Inuyasha had returned to Futile Japan, or something else had gone wrong. Kagome nearly screamed as a large sound blasted from her brother's room. Kagome opened the door to find Inuyasha and Souta at the T.V. She sighed as Souta threw his hands in the air and called Inuyasha a cheater. "Souta!"
Souta turned and smiled. "Konichiwa, Kagome onee-sama! Inuyasha is playing with me!" Kagome walked up and yanked the control out of Souta's hand as Inuyasha looked at them dumbly. "Kagome onee-sama!"
"Souta, baka." Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha needs to rest, not play games. He is here to get healthy." She looked at Inuyasha. "Especially since his oh so favorite time of the month is happening tonight, right Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha folded his arms and growled. "Alright, Kagome, Alright!" He stood and headed back to the guest room. Kagome followed after him, closing the door once she and he were in the room alone. Kagome turned to him and met his gaze. "Na?"
"I want to see how your wounds are, Inuyasha." Kagome said softly. Inuyasha's ears perked up. "I'm worried about you, Inuyasha, I really am…I mean, and you could have been killed by Naruku... or...or even worse." She looked down, her bangs hiding her chocolate pool eyes. She felt Inuysaha left her face back up to his amber eyes. Kagome didn't look away, unsure what to do now.
"I couldn't leave you like that, Kagome." Inuyasha replied just as soft. "Sure, the Shikon no Tama is complete, but now more youkai will be after you to claim it. And you'll need a protector, seeing how even though you are like Kikyou, you still aren't all that strong." Kagome sighed. Inuyasha smirked and his ears twitched. He sighed and took off his red jacket then his white shirt. Kagome resisted the urge to blush widely, and removed the blood soaked bandages. Inuyasha winced at a slight pain. "I can tell you one thing, Kagome. There isn't a hole." Kagome smiled at that.
Kagome went over to the medicine kit that was on the table. She opened it up, getting out a fresh new package of bandages. She turned, coming back over to Inuyasha and he lifted his arms, looking some what annoyed. The soft bandages made Inuyasha look at her oddly, since these bandages were softer than the ones that Kikyou had used. He blinked, his ears twitching as Kagome continued to wrap the soft fabric around his abdominal. She looked up at him and smiled, lifting her hand and lightly tweaking his ears. "I don't like the New Moon….you loose your cute ears."
"You think my ears are cute?!" Inuyasha asked twitching his right ear as Kagome ran her soft hand over it. Kagome nodded. Inuyasha looked away, a light blush creeping on his face. His ears moved as Kagome picked up his shirt and jacket. "What are you doing, those are mine!"
"We have to wash them out, Inuyasha!" Kagome stated, heading out of the door and down the hall. Inuyasha sulked after her. "For one, my mother may not appreciate blood on her sheets, and do you really want to walk around in blood soaked clothes all the time?" She heard Inuyasha make a mumbled comment. Kagome entered the laundry room and opened the washer, placing in Inuyasha's jacket and shirt. She closed the lid, setting the settings to delicate so it wouldn't ruin the hand stitching in it. Kagome turned as Inuyasha leaned in the door frame. "Would you like a shirt?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. Kagome walked out of the room and went down stairs, picking up a shopping bag. She ran back up and pulled out a shirt. "Here, it's a fashion from America."
"What's an America?"
"It's another country like Japan, over the ocean." Kagome informed him. She smiled as Inuyasha lifted it over his head, and then looked down at it. It had a hood on the back and an odd shaped pocket in the front. "Mother bought it for you while you were here, that way we could clean your clothes if needed." Inuyasha nodded. Kagome smiled and leaned against the wall, closing her eyes.
Inuyasha looked at her, tilting his head. He blinked, wondering why she just stood there against the wall. He moved in front of her, sniffing. He picked up few scents and sighed inwardly, knowing that by the night he would be human. Kagome opened her eyes and looked up at him. "What?"
"Wanna help me make dinner?"

Souta smiled. "Is this all made by you, Kagome onee-sama?" he asked, and Kagome nodded. Souta took a bite and smiled. "It actually tastes goo….ow!!" he cried as Kagome hit him in the head. Inuyasha smiled a little, finding the two siblings humors. Suddenly he winced, leaning over a bit as a pain came to him from his abdominal. "Inuyasha-sama," Souta asked. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Inuyasha mumbled. He stood and walked out of the room. Kagome stood, following the hanyou. Inuyasha climbed to the guest room and closed the door, sitting on the bed. Kagome stood outside the door for a few moments, listening to Inuyasha snarl. Finally she opened the door to find the hanyou lying on the bed, shaking. His hair was now all black, and his eyes violet. Kagome rushed over.
"Inuyasha…?"
Inuyasha sat up weakly as Kagome sat down next to him. He moaned, unable to snarl any longer. "K-Kagome…it hurts this time." Kagome looked at him with question. Inuyasha moaned again and buried his face in Kagome's shoulder, shutting his eyes. "I'm not sure why it hurts now…it just does..." Kagome wrapped her arm around him, looking up at the moonless night. Inuyasha winced as his abdominal exploded in pain.
Kagome lead Inuyasha slowly to lie down on the bed. She looked at the human Inuyasha, amazed at how his features made him more attractive as a human, if that were possible. She pulled the small futon sheet over him. Inuyasha grabbed her hand with his now human hand, looking up into her eyes. He ran his fingers through hers, not truly aware he was. "Inuyasha?"
"K-Kagome…don't go..." he asked softly. "Stay….p-please…?" Kagome looked down at their hands for a moment then up at his eyes. She knew that he would be hanyou by morning, but Inuyasha's pain had doubled now that his youkai blood was low. Kagome nodded. Inuyasha grabbed her other arm with his hand weakly and softly pulled her down beside him. Kagome was surprised, at the least. Inuysaha turned on his side and buried his hair into her raven locks, wrapping his arms around her. Within a few moments he had fallen asleep. Kagome rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, falling asleep as well.
