Chapter 2

Last Chapter:

Damn it, if anything happened to Kagome, I would never forgive myself… She would never forgive me… Inu Yasha was pulled out of his thoughts when his feet softly touched the bottom of the well. In one swift jump, he and Kagome were out of the well house. Inu Yasha quickly jumped through Kagome's window and laid her gently down on her bed. As the warmth and safety of being in Inu Yasha's arms left her, her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Inu... Inu Yasha?" she whispered.

Chapter 2:

"Shhh, sleep Kagome. You need your rest"

"Inu Yasha?"

"Yeah? What?"

"Thanks… You know for saving me, I never thought Kouga would act like that…"

"Feh, just go to sleep."

          The curves of her lips were bringing to a frown, and it wrenched Inu Yasha's heart to see his Kagome like that. Damn it why can't I be just a little nicer? I hate it when I see my Kagome like that… Wait?!?! MY Kagome? What the hell am I thinking? She's not MINE… Shit I better go.  Inu Yasha slowly stood up, and when he was just about to turn and leave, something had grabbed his crimson sleeve. Looking down he saw Kagome holding tightly, not ready to let go.

"Wait Inu Yasha, please don't go… Stay with me please? I… I… I don't think I can sleep like this."

"Fine, but I better hear u sleeping!"

"Okay thank you Inu Yasha!"

          Inu Yasha sat down, and crossed his legs. As he sat there with his eyes closed he grumbled about not being able to go back to the Feudal Era.

"Inu Yasha?"

"What now?!"

"You don't have to sleep like that, on the floor. Here come join me. You can sleep with me." (Hehehe… I'm so silly! Sorry I just had to put that part in. Couldn't resist ^.^)

          Realizing what she said, Kagome's face turned 10 shades of red, and when Inu Yasha heard, his eyes had almost bulged right out of their sockets. Did I just hear what I thought I heard her say? I think I'm going insane… or that damn Miroku has had too much of an influence in me. Stupid monk… (Hahaha poor Miroku being blamed for everything that's naughty. Oh well too bad lol) Stuttering Inu Yasha decided to make sure of what she had said.

"W-What did you just say?"

"Uh… well you can share my bed with me. So you don't have to stay on the ground, uncomfortably of course"

To her dislike, she had said the last part a bit too fast. Oh god… I am such an idiot! Why can't I just act normal around him? Oh yeah… because I love him! *sigh* My life is so confusing and difficult. (Of course you love Inu Yasha! lol) Hearing Kagome sigh Inu Yasha was broken out of his trance. He cautiously stood up and walked up to the bed with a very slow pace.

Seeing as he was coming over, Kagome scooted to the other side, making sure there was enough room for both of them. Sliding in, Inu Yasha was nervously trembling, not sure if this was the right thing to do.

Once Inu Yasha was on the soft pink bed, Kagome instinctively moved closer to Inu Yasha and curled up next to him. Not knowing what to do next, Inu Yasha wrapped his left arm around her waist. What the hell am I doing?!?! God, I'm getting really protective of Kagome… but what about Kikyo? No, Kikyo is dead. I just have to free her soul that's it. She's cold and full of hatred. My love for her was in the past, and it's gonna stay there. Now… now I love… Kagome…

With that thought Inu Yasha had a small smile coming to his lips. Knowing the truth about his own feelings, he felt free, and finally relieved. He relaxed and his shoulders went slack, deciding that he should get some rest also.

Noticing that Kagome's breathing was uneven, he knew that she was still awake and spoke up. To his and Kagome's surprise he said it quite soft.

"You are supposed to be sleeping Kagome"

"I know I'm trying. It's just that I could have been… Kouga could have r…" but Kagome could not say it. For it still had plunged something deep inside of her.

Fear. Fear that she had never felt before. Fear, like it was a knife slowly cutting through her flesh and going deeper. So deep, that it almost went through her. What she didn't know was that Inu Yasha had felt that fear too. The fear of losing Kagome and angered him to the extent that he could kill Naraku with just one deadly swipe.

Rage was building inside of Inu Yasha as it were whirlwinds and tornadoes. Twisting and turning, and with every second Inu Yasha's golden yellow eyes were deepening. They turned hard and flashed blood red. With that every second it was darker. Kagome some felt that Inu Yasha was angry, she didn't know how she knew but she knew. His body had stiffened and his eyes were cold and red orange. She had no choice but to calm him, knowing what could happen if he did turn to a full Inu Youkai.

"Inu Yasha? You should sleep. Get some rest, I promise to make you some ramen later on"

Breaking out of his reverie Inu Yasha composed himself and relaxed his body.

"Hey aren't you supposed to sleep? I'm a hanyou I don't need that much rest"

"Okay…"      

With that said Kagome's eyes slowly slithered shut. Feeling safe and warm knowing that Inu Yasha was right there next to her and Kouga wouldn't be able to get her again.

          Soon within minutes, Inu Yasha too fell into oblivion. Forgetting all his worries and just relished the moment when he finally had his Kagome in his arms. He slept like he had never slept before, dreamless, and unaware, for there was no danger. No danger to him or his Kagome. For he vowed to never let his Kagome get hurt ever again.

KagomeMiko – Okay so that was Chapter two I hope everyone liked it. Thank you to all of my reviewers and readers. I tried to make this chapter longer. I'm still a beginner at writing. I just mostly read. If you want a lemon tell me. I have never written one before, but if you want then tell me in your reviews. I'll probably make the lemon later in the story. I'll be away for a little so I won't be able to update the story for a few days but that's okay. I'll try to update ASAP. Thanks again!
