It's What's Inside That Counts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 7: Another 'Accident'
Inuyasha went with Kagome and they agreed to meet Sango and Miroku back at the girls' dorm so they could all walk together to the park. Kagome took Inuyasha's hand as they walked into the bookstore and Miroku snickered at Inuyasha's face making him turn around to glared at his friend.
"This was a good plan I had?" said Sango as she unlocked the door. Miroku followed her in closing the door behind them.
"YOUR idea?" He grinned at her.
"Well, whoever's idea it was it worked." Sango sat down on the couch picking up a fashion magazine and began flipping through it.
"Do you think it's safe to say they're an official couple?"
"I guess..." Sango put down the magazine and leaned back on the couch. "But at the moment Inuyasha seems to feel a little threaten by Naraku. He shouldn't worry though, Kagome may seem to like talking to Naraku but is obvious she likes Inuyasha."
"Do you think it's safe to say we're a couple?" Miroku's voice was almost a whisper, Sango barely caught his words.
"I...I don't know. Can I trust you not to grope every girl you come across? Do you really like me that way? Or are you just toying with me?" She stared at the floor as she said this, still unsure if she could trust Miroku.
Miroku gently turned her face to his and kissed her slowly, thoroughly, showing her what she meant to him. Letting her know he wanted a chance. Telling her the only way her knew how, that he cared for her. Loved her.
Sango gazed into his eyes when the kiss ended, their lips inches apart and found the answer she sought. Her arms slowly crept around his neck to pull him down for another kiss. Sango slowly eased down on the couch, Miroku half way blanketing her body. His hands slid along her sides as Sango moaned into the kiss. His tongue sliding along her lips asking for entrance and she complied as her hands slid from around his neck to beneath his shirt. Her hands traveled over a firm chest and defined abs going lower to unzip her jeans.
Miroku smiled into the kiss as her hand found a ticklish spot, jumping when she touched him there. He did the same, sliding in hand under her top and lifting her slowly to unhook the lacey material that bound her breasts. His hands wandered over soft flesh, cupping their weights in his hands palms not noticing as the door opened.
Inuyasha stood there staring at the two as Kagome dropped her books. They didn't even notice that they came back.
Kagome cleared her throat and the two jumped from where they were to see their friends standing at the door. Sango ran into the bathroom to adjust her bra and Miroku turned his back to them, cherry lipstick smudged over his lips, a smug smile on his face. Inuyasha and Kagome burst out laughing at Miroku's expression after looking in a mirror hanging on the living room wall. He rubbed the smudged lipstick off with the back of his hand as Sango walked back in, a blush spread over her face.
"Did we interrupt something?" smiled Kagome trying to contain her laughter. "Do you both wanna stay here and," cough, "finish?"
Sango leaned against Miroku and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "Nah, we're ready." He dropped a kiss on her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The four of them arrived at the park at around six o'clock and while walking through the park they talked about the upcoming Sengoku Jidai concert next month. After deciding to make it a double date they split up. Miroku pulled Sango over to the swings, saying he wanted to relive his childhood years while Inuyasha and Kagome found a trail and followed it into the woods.
Kagome held Inuyasha's hand as they walked along a trail that led through the woods. After walking about fifteen minutes they came to an old run down two-story house. It seemed old and the weather had worn it down to the point where it was unable to hold any inhabitants.
Kagome began to pull Inuyasha in the direction of the house, "Let's go exploring!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "why would I want to take one step into the run down peace of junk?"
"Because I want to go in," she replied smiling up at him with her chocolate brown eyes.
He sighed and reluctantly followed Kagome in. The old house had a rusted stove and a wooden table broken in half on the first floor. The couch had been shredded up and they guess wild animals probably did this.
Kagome stood still in front of the stove and turned around slowly taking in everything around her. She felt something scurry across her foot and looked down to see it huge brown rat, making her jump back and scream.
She felt strong arms circle her around her waist from behind. "What the hell are you screaming for, it's just a rat."
"But did you see how huge that thing was?!"
He shook his head at her thinking how silly she was being and dropped his head on top of hers and she leaned against him, "Did you want me to play the big bad dog demon and kill the itty bitty mouse for you?" he said grinning.
She tried to break away from him, "Ohhhh...you can be SO irritating!"
He smiled, "Only to you..." Kagome slipped between his grasp and ran from him laughing. She spotting an open door and seeing that it led to the basement she ran down it to hide. It held a few boxes and there was a small window that fading sun's light shone through. Inuyasha only laughed at her antics thinking that it was going to be easy to find her. He walked in the direction she went and slowly began descending the stairs, listening to everything, almost immediately hearing Kagome's breathing. He could smell Kagome's sent behind him and turned around to find her hiding beneath the steps. When she saw that he saw her she got up and got ready to run when a clawed hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, slowing turning her to him.
Kagome smiled up into his face as he leaned down to kiss her softly. Her arms slid around his neck kissing him back. She pulled back and took off his glasses meeting his golden gaze. She slid of his cap and smiled at his fuzzy pink ears. Her hand reached up to stroke his ears at the base and she giggle when she heard him purr.
"Little puppy," she smiled brightly.
A growl was caught in his throat when she kissed him sweetly on the lips. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. Kagome moaned softly into to the kiss when Inuyasha lifted his head, his ear twitching and his demon senses picked up the smell of smoke above him. They suddenly heard a window crash and the smell of smoke grew, as did the heat. Grabbing Kagome's hand, they ran upstairs together to find the entire first floor in flames. There was no way to get out then Inuyasha remembered the small window in the basement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango and Miroku looked up to see smoke rising in the distance.
"Someone has a camp fire way out here?" asked Miroku dumbfounded.
"That's to much smoke to be a campfire. Wait, didn't Inuyasha and Kagome head in the direction?" asked Sango.
Miroku pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911 just in case something really did go wrong. The both of them ran as fast as they could, heading towards the fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The house began to collapse above them as they ran back down stairs into the base. Smoke began to fill the basement, making breathing hard, and almost impossible for Inuyasha with his sensitive nose. Seeing the small window, Inuyasha led Kagome over to it and boosted her up.
"I'm not leaving without you!" she screamed over the fire, holding on to the window frame.
"I'll be right behind you...Now go!" he said practically pushing her out of the window.
Kagome scrambled out as a wooden beam collapsed and fell on top of Inuyasha. He crashed down to the ground as the fire raged above him.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed out his name as she heard him moan beneath the beam.
Miroku and Sango ran toward Kagome's voice when they spotted her by the burning house.
"Kagome, what's goi..."
"Inuyasha's still in there!" she interrupted, tears falling down her cheeks.
Inuyasha groaned as he slid from under the beams, blood covering his side. The only reason he got up is because he heard Kagome's voice. He glance up and managed to see her face looking at him through the small window through the smoke. He could barely walk, much less climb through a window.
"Kagome let me get there and pull Inuyasha out," he said as Kagome let Miroku in front of the tiny window.
Inuyasha reached the window, his claws grasping the frame, but his body refusing to pull him up when he felt a hand around his wrist and began tugging him upward threw the window.
"Come on man, work with me here."
"Damnit, Miroku..." growled Inuyasha, wanting Miroku to get Kagome to safety before the house collapsed.
Miroku began pulling Inuyasha through the window managing to get him through, by some miracle. He threw Inuyasha's arms over his shoulder and practically dragged him over to a tree when they heard the fire truck. It drove along the road that connected the house to the main and immediately they began getting to work putting out the fire.
"K-Kagome...Daijbou?" asked Inuyasha, his voice almost a whisper.
"H-Hai..."
"We have to get you to a doctor, Inuyasha." Sango saw his body was covered with scratches and blood stained his shirt on the side from when the beam fell on him.
"Iie! Iie doctors..." That was that the last thing Inuyasha said before the world around him went black.

*CahadrasMoonShine: I don't know if I can work a fight in there between Kouga and Inuyasha. I'm thinking about saving that for another fanfic I have in mind writing. There will be a fight between Inuyasha and Naraku in the end though. Also, there will be a lemon in a later chapter, no worries.
*Lil Kagome: Thanks and to answer your questions: 1) No, Kagome new him before and trusted him and doesn't think that would change. 2) Yeah, I might have them double date later in the story. 3) The lemon will come later in the story, I haven't written all of the story out yet but there is one.
*sleep walking chicken and HAP: Yeah, I love the twist I put in Naraku, Thanks.
*Silver Fang: Naraku is a youkai in this story.
*mihoyonagi: Lol, yeah sorry about the typos, I was trying to hurry and put some up and it was really late, like 1am later.
