Chapter 4: Time to go.

He had given her a thorough tour of his home, except for Sesshomaru's room, and they had ended up back in the room Kagome had woken up in.

"So whose room is this?" she asked, her eyes tracing along the walls.

Inuyasha blushed.

"Mine." he said quickly.

Kagome gave it another look over from her seat on his bed. Out off all the rooms in the house, this one was her favorite. She sighed and snuggled under his covers.

"Tired?" he asked. She caught a slight twinkle in his eye.

Sitting up she went to give him nice shove off the chair he was sitting in when she noticed the clock in the corner of the room.

"Is that the right time!?" she gasped, pointing at it.

"Yeah. Why?" He cocked his head to one side, a curious look on his face.

"Oh no! My parents are going to kill me! They must be worried out of their minds! I was supposed to be home HOURS ago, and I never showed up at Sango's......." She trailed off, rushing to pull a shoe over her still slightly swollen foot as she hopped out of the room.

She was still mumbling to herself when she reached the front door, but Inuyasha could only pick up bits and pieces of it.

"......grounded for months!..............They always said...................ALWAYS happens to me...........should have.........cell phone....................."

She soon reached the door. As her hand moved to grasp the handle, he grabbed her shoulder roughly, spinning her around to face him.

"Don't go!" he pleaded.

A deep blush colored either's faces.

He cleared he throat uncomfortably. "I mean, let me at least call you a taxi. You really shouldn't be walking on that ankle."

"Well it is a long walk..." She agreed.

Moving back inside the house, she sat on the family room sofa to wait while Inuyasha made the call.

Five minutes later, headlights could be seen flashing through the window, announcing the cab's arrival.

"I guess it's time to go." She moved toward the door again, but paused before she opened it. Turning to face him, she found him trailing close behind.

"I guess I'll see you around then." He stared into her eyes. *God, she's beautiful*

As she stared back at him, all she could think of was the first time she had seen him, just hours ago. Lying underneath her, he had looked so peaceful. Young, almost. And now they were saying goodbye.

*But this isn't goodbye!* she told herself. *You'll see him again. Why are you being so melodramatic?*

Leaning in close to him, her lips brushed his cheek and she whispered a quick "Thank you" before rushing out the door.

He watched her jump into the cab and followed its trail down the street before it turned around the same corner he and Kagome had arrived on. As its lights faded in the distance, he remained standing there, his mind flooded with images of the day's events.
