Kagome screamed as she woke up. She was drenched in sweat from her nightmare. Suddenly she heard a sound at her window. She grabbed a bat then got up to take a look. She slowly unlocked the window and opened it. She came closer. And closer. Then.she saw a face looking right at her with large golden eyes, "Take that!" she swung the bat and hit whatever it was with all her might. Once she opened her eyes she noticed a very large lump on its head.

"Ow! What the heck did you do that for wench?" shouted the voice sounding really angry.

"Inu-Inuyasha?" Kagome's heart was still going a mile a minute.

"Of course it's me. Who did you think it was, Miroku?"

Kagome was calmer but she wasn't exactly happy to see him.

"What's wrong?" he noticed her trembling and it was clear that she was still afraid. He took a step closer.

"Stay away!" Kagome commanded.

He looked at her just plain shocked. She had never been this afraid of him. Even when they first met and he tried to kill her she didn't get this frightened. "What's with you?" Worry was filling his eyes.

Kagome noticed the look in his eyes and she softened a little. "Just stay back. I still need to calm my nerves." She dropped the bat out of her hands. She sighed then looked up at Inuyasha. "I'm going to take a bath. Stay here till I get back."

He reluctantly obeyed her demand giving her a quite "Feh." When he was sure that she wouldn't be able to hear him he crept up to the bathroom door in hopes of finding out what was upsetting her.

'Get a hold of yourself Kagome. He doesn't seem to remember so you can just make believe that it didn't happen. But I have to wonder.did he really see me when it happened or was I just the first female he saw?' She dismissed any more thoughts about that. "Now all I have to worry about is getting those stains out." She thought out loud.

He was still completely confused about what she was talking about. All he could figure out was it happened she said "sit" earlier. Or at least he guessed it was because he didn't have any memory of what went on after that. He quickly got up when he heard her emerge from the tub. He returned to where she instructed for him to remain.

She came out with a form fitting blue silk pajama top with shorts to match. "Why did you come?"

He wondered why she had so much fear and sadness in her voice. "Because there is a bad storm and there wasn't any room to stay with the villagers."

She looked out the window and say what he said must have been true. It was raining quite hard. "I guess you can stay. You can sleep on the couch downstairs."

As she was talking he noticed something that worried him beyond belief. There were four long scratches down her right arm. They seemed to be about two inches deep. "What happened to your arm?"

Kagome looked down at her arm to see what he meant. Then she remembered the scars on it. "Oh that. It's nothing I just got scratched by Buyo."

Inuyasha didn't believe a word of that. He had seen that fat cat before and he doubted that it had enough energy to scratch her at all.

The next thing he knew he was being pushed out of her room. He lightly heard her say good night but it was very faint. He knew what she told him wasn't true so he was going to find out what was.
