"The Silent Voice"

By Night Youkai

Chapter 5

"Calm down Inyasha. I'm right here." Sasami was at her workstation in the day room, finishing the painting of their family portrait, when she heard his distress call. When she saw Inuyasha, he looked frighten. "What's wrong?"

'Kagome is here! Why is she here? She doesn't know I'm a freak!'

"You are not a freak!" Sasami rarely was anger but no one put down her children; not even her children. Inuyasha kept his thoughts to himself so he would not anger her further or he might get a mind shock. Mind shocks were no fun, but when she was angry they were ten times worst.

"From what I see Kagome came here to take care of you. Sesshomaru said she didn't think he would take very good care of you. So he brought her with him." She cleaned he brushes then wheeled herself around Inuyasha packing up her supplies.

'SESSHOMARU!'

"Please brother you give everyone a headache when you yell." complained Sesshomaru as he entered the room. Oh his little brother was pissed, but it was for his own good.

'Why is Kagome here?' growled Inuyasha wishing he had his Testsusaiga.

"Little brother, mother already explained that. Don't be rude your guest is right out side looking for you. Lady Kagome, Inuyasha is right in here."

'I hate you.' He sneered.

Kagome was so mad when she saw that her patient had run off. She tried to follow after him, but he was so darn fast. Just when she thought she lost him she heard someone talking. She followed the voice. It sounded as if the person was talking to someone but the other person wasn't responding. That's when she heard Sesshomaru call for her. Once she entered the room her eyes quickly locked onto Inuyasha.

"What are you doing out of bed?"

"You must forgive my brother tends to be shy around girls."

'You lying sack of shit!'

'No. You're the one hiding from her.'

'Shut the fuck up! This is your fault!'

'Its my fault you can be nice to a pretty girl.'

'You want to see nice? How about an nice fucking fat lip?!'

'You can barely stand let alone try and hit me.'

'Why you.'

Sasami sighed as she watched them argue. "You must be Kagome. I'm Sasami Inuhoushi. I apologize for both my sons they seem to forget their manners."

"That's alright Mrs. Inuhoushi." Kagome couldn't understand what was going on, the brothers were just standing there staring at each other. Sending death glares at one another. She'd think about that later, right now she had to get Inuyasha back to bed. From the look of him, standing firm behind his mother with his arms crossed, it wasn't going to be easy.

"I want to thank you for tending him. I'm sorry he is such a bad patient. Inuyasha is so focused on training he forgets to rest."

"Yes, I know. He should be resting now. I'm surprised he's even standing after that fall."

"I agree. Inuyasha please return to your room I'll call you when dinner is ready. You will join us Kagome? It's the lest we can do to thank you for tending Inuyasha." Inuyasha just about drooped to the floor at his mother's invitation.

"I'd love to. I'll call home to let them know where I'm at." Kagome thought the longer she stayed; then maybe she could figure this family out.

"Of course there's a phone in Inuyasha's room. You can use that on right little brother." Sesshomaru smiled. Inuyasha stalked out of the room with Kagome right behind him.

"Very clever Mother."

"I do what I can to see my boys happy. Say Sesshomaru, why don't you invite Rin over for dinner sometime? She is a lovely girl." Sesshomaru had an ever so slight blush to his face. His lovely Rin, of course his mother knew of her.

"Yes mother."

*****

Once they were in his room Inyasha pointed at the phone on then desk and then sat on his bed, with both legs and arms crossed.

"Well now that's settled you can lie down and rest." Kagome said after making her phone call. He gave her an 'its not happening' look.

"Come on Inuyasha you were badly hurt." He said nothing, did nothing. 'Boy he's one tough nut!' Kagome thought.

'Who are you calling a nut?'

"Huh?" suddenly the voice rang through her head again. His voice. She watched Inuyasha go pale and scared. 'He's afraid. Afraid of me.'

'What' she going to do? It was reflex I shouldn't have projected my thoughts to her.' He watched her as she knelt down on the mat, which was his bed, and looked at him. 'Here it comes she'll slap me a call me a freak.' he flinched as Kagome pushed back a strand of hair that had fallen in his face.

"It's alright I won't hurt you." Never in his life had he ever wanted to believe someone so much.

'Kagome. . .' her eyes were so kind and trusting.

"I think I'm beginning to understand. You can't talk at lest not with your voice." Inuyasha hung his head in shame. Then he felt her arms wrap around his waist and her head on his shoulder. "That's okay. I've always liked the strong silent type." He could feel his heart grow warm as they sat there watching the sun go down from his window.

"So how was you date on Saturday?" Kagome giggled as Sango blushed.

"It was fine. Miroku only tried to grab my butt once."

"Oh come on I want details."

"Only If I get details about you and Inuyasha." Sango giggled, as it was Kagome's turn to blush.

"I don't know. So far we're just friends. I had dinner with his family and that was it." But deep in her heart she wanted to be more. Somehow she felt safe and happy when she was close to him.

"Well at least it's a start. I'm sure you'll be dating soon enough." Sango replied, as they ate lunch under the big oak tree.

"Hello Ladies! Mind if we join you?" they both looked up to find Miroku standing over them.

"Sure, but who's 'we'?" Sango answered. Miroku looked around and sighed.

"I see Inuyasha has deserted me once again."

"No he didn't. He's in the tree." Kagome said pointing at the branch above her head. Inuyasha gazed down at her.

'How did you know I was here?'

'I felt you.' She smiled up at him. "So how many days left of hard core training?"

"One week. Sesshomaru said Inuyasha would need a week of rest and meditation before the state finals." Answered Miroku.

"That makes sense after all that work I would want to sleep for a month." Commented Sango.

"I'm amazed that he has time to study and do my homework." Laughed Miroku.

"WHAT?!" Screamed both girls as they stood up.

"Did I say my homework? I meant his."

"You heartless bastard! How could you do that to your friend!" Sango screamed as she began to chase him around the schoolyard while hitting him with her backpack.

"Inuyasha! Get down here!" Inuyasha glanced down at the steaming Kagome. He wondered if he could make a run for it. "Don't even think of running. Get Down Now!" defeated he jumped down. "How could you do it? I bet you did his half of the report too." Inuyasha could only look guilty. She sighed her mind finally made up she turned to and stared Inuyasha straight in the eyes. He took a slight step back he gaze felt as if she was reading his soul. "That's it! I'll be coming home with you everyday till the state finals are over."

'What, but I have training.'

"I know. So I've decided to be there to make sure you rest and make sure that you do your own homework as well as our make-up project."

'But you can't! I mean I failed the project remember?' Now he was panicked. Kagome stared at him with her arms crossed and glare at him.

"So now you don't want me around?"

'No that's not what I meant!'

"Good. I told Miss Yerameshi that you were afraid your training would interfere with your schoolwork. So I told her that I would be available to tutor you. So she gave us a make-up project."

'You really thought this through haven't you.' He let out a breath in defeat. She had him corner and she knew it.

"Yep, sure did." Ring went the bell. "Lunch is over I'd better get to class. See you after school." Kagome gave him a kiss on the cheek then left for class. Inuyasha was stunned as he watched her disappear in the crowd of students heading for class.

'She likes me.' A small smile slowly crept on to his face. For the first time in a long time he felt happy.
