~~I told you this story wasn't finished yet!!!! Hahahahahahhahahahahah!!!!
I do not own Inu Yasha.~~
~**************~
After the night of dancing, Inu Yasha had slept by Kagome's bed, leaning up against it. He had done this many times before, watching and guarding while she slept. Last night, however, had been spent stroking Kagome's hand, which was curled protectively in his shirt.
The following morning, Kagome and Inu Yasha walked happily down the crowded streets of Tokyo. Inu Yasha was clad in a pair of loose black workout pants, a black t-shirt, and black sandals. He had refused to shove his clawed feet into a pair on sneakers, claiming that he couldn't grip anything with his toes. He finally succumbed to the demands of Kagome and her mother, putting on the "sand-ales", which to him resembled something Kikyo or some other priestess would wear. He also, after much growling, accepted a black bandana to tie around his ears. His long silver hair he simply left flowing loose and wild. His ceremonial bead necklace was still around his neck, but since it was the style to be wearing phooka beads nowadays, he didn't look out of place. Tetsusaiga was tied around his waist. Kagome and her mother had tried to make him leave it at home, but to no avail. Finally, they decided that he would say he was on his way to a school play after shopping, and was wearing the sword as a costume.
Many girls stared after him, their jaws either on the floor or hidden behind whispering hands. Kagome sent many of them scurrying away with a patented glare. Inu Yasha was happy to see that this glare was not, for once, directed at him. He found himself having trouble keeping his eyes off of KAGOME. She was dressed in a light purple sundress that fell just above her knees. It was decorated all over with flowers that sparkled when she moved. What amazed him most, however, was that it was held up only by tiny strings attached to the front and back of the dress! He wondered how such tiny things could keep a garment on, but he wisely hadn't asked.
Inu Yasha smiled down at her suddenly, remembering how much fun he had had the night before. He had been delighted that she'd asked him to sleep over, and was shocked to his toes when her mother had asked him to accompany Kagome to the department stores as she went shopping today. Inu Yasha's ears had pricked up at the suggestion, and he duly noted the anxious look in the older woman's eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked her, pulling her into the kitchen. "You asked me to watch over her at the dance, and all last night, and now again today. What is wrong?"
Kagome mother had turned slightly away from him, leaning against the kitchen counter. She brushed back her hair nervously, and then smiled slightly. "You're going to think I'm crazy," she said, blushing, "but I just don't want Kagome wandering around alone today. I feel like something bad is going to happen."
Inu Yasha had stared at her for a moment, then smirked and said "Feh," as Kagome called him from the front room and said she was ready to leave.
And now he was trying not to embarrass her by jumping at every little sound. Sure, he was scared of nothing, but when it came to giant metal buildings and more people than he knew how to count, and huge, loud, evil demons tearing down the street and making strange honking noises, Inu Yasha wasn't ashamed at all to cling to Kagome's arm, which was safely wrapped around his.
Kagome was chattering on and on about what a great time she had had the night before, and how angry she was that Hojo had ditched her. Inu Yasha was hard pressed not to burst out laughing at her endless prattle. 'Does this girl ever shut up?' he asked himself, bemused.
Kagome pulled him in and out of several stores, asking him to give his opinions on several pieces of colorful clothing. His eyes nearly fell out of his head when she modeled something called a "halter top". He had leaped up and covered her with a spare jacket that was lying on a shelf, much to her embarrassment. However, she had laughed and agreed not to ever wear such a shirt ever again.
After about three hours of shopping, Inu Yasha's feet were beginning to ache. These strange, hard, black roads were much harder to walk on than dirt and grass, and these shoes were killing him! In addition, he was being forced to carry what seemed like dozens of colorful paper bags, all filled with clothes and food for Kagome. Inu Yasha's eyes scanned the horizon for some place to rest, and then smiled as he spied a small park.
He tugged on Kagome's hand, motioning towards the park with his head. "Kagome, can we go rest for a few minutes?" he begged.
Kagome smiled, noticing how strained he was getting. 'He's not used to this world at all', she thought to herself as she nodded to him.
Inu Yasha smiled happily and made a beeline for the small park. Tossing all the bags into a neat pile on the grass, he happily kicked off his shoes and wriggled his toes in the cool grass. Kagome smiled slightly, watching him enjoy himself. She sat down beside him, her knees curled to the side. Kagome pulled out her purse and handed Inu Yasha a few hundred yen, asking him to run to a vendor down the path and buy them some ice cream cones. He had smiled at her obligingly, vaguely wondering what "iced cream" was. Then he remembered seeing some cone shaped cookies that were being eaten by Kagome's family one night. Each had been filled with a colorful paste of come sort, and apparently they enjoyed it.
Inu Yasha took off, leaving his bare sandals behind. He moved much more gracefully without them, and caused both girls and women to stare after him. Kagome giggled slightly, and then leaned back against the packages, watching the sunset over the trees. Seemingly out of nowhere, Hojo appeared beside Kagome. She blinked at him, confused, and then her eyes hardened. "What do YOU want?" she asked scornfully.
Hojo smiled at her pleasantly, annoyingly regular. He didn't even seem a little contrite about leaving her at the dance. "I came to check on you, Higurashi," he explained, sitting next to her. "I heard some man took you home last night, and I just wanted to make sure you were all right."
She sat bolt upright, staring at him as if he had gone mad. "CHECK on me?" she repeated, her eyes glowing fire. "After you just LEFT me at the dance, you have the nerve to come back here and ask how I am?"
Hojo's smile wilted a little, but he stood and held a hand out to her. "Please walk with me a moment," he said. "We should talk about this."
Kagome blinked. She could have sworn his eyes had just glowed. Almost involuntarily, she raised her hand towards his, and then drew it back quickly, shaking her head. "No! I'm waiting for someone. He should be back any minute, and you should run while you still can. He's awfully strong, and is VERY angry with you for the way you treated me! Get out of here!"
Hojo leaned down grabbed her arm tightly, lifted her up. He was still smiling annoyingly as she protested loudly, trying to wrench her arm back from him. "We need to talk about our future, Kagome," he said, pulling her towards him and pressing her against his chest.
"We have no future!" she yelled, pushing against his chest. "Let me go!"
He ignored her, and began pulling her towards the trees of the park. She struggled hard, surprised that she couldn't break his grasp. 'This isn't right', she thought to herself. 'Hojo doesn't feel right. He almost feels like. no, it couldn't be! I would have known!'
Hojo smiled, turning to face her. His normally blue eyes had bled down to a deep red color, and his teeth sharpened slightly. "Actually, Kagome, years of hiding what I am has allowed me to cloak my demonic essence and appear as human as you."
"Demonic?" she repeated, struggling harder now. "You're a demon!?"
Hojo nodded and tugged her against his chest as they became lost in the trees. His face was sickeningly close to hers now, and her heart began to hammer. "W-What do you want?" she stammered.
"I want you to be my mate, and find me the rest of the Shikon shards," he replied, lowering his face towards her. His lips pursed slightly, and Kagome closed her eyes tightly, screaming.
"Get your dirty hands off my Kagome!!!!"
Hojo stopped and glanced over his shoulder to behold a seething hanyou. Inu Yasha's hair was almost standing on end with his rage, Tetsusaiga already unsheathed and at its full growth. Inu Yasha's face was as dark as a cloud as he snarled, "Let go of my Kagome, or die."
