Echoe Shayne ^.^

He had to admire him. Then again no he didn't. Hobo was either the bravest man that he had ever met or the stupidest.

"You're a liar Kagome would never want someone like you."

The stupidest fucking person that I've ever fucking met right up there with that idiot Kouga.

"Your calling me a liar do you even know who I am? If you did then you would watch your mouth because..." He paused looking at him why was he getting so worked up? It's not like this person even mattered. As he stood there a picture of Kagome talking to this guy popped into his head. That couldn't happen he needed her. Needed her to help find the shards that is.

"Because what." He had meant for it to come out confidant but instead it had come out as a squeak .

Hearing his voice crack he smiled moving closer to him again.

"I would destroy you. Now you stay away from her."

Those eyes they looked at him and they almost shone with anger. But in his mind it only confirmed what he had thought earlier. Kagome would never like someone like this. Not someone so brash and rude so violent.

What a terrible day the idea of school just kept getting worse and worse but.. pulling at the collar of the "uniform." He trudged down the street heading back to the shrine. Almost to the house he smelled the most wonderful thing Ramen. With new energy he made his way to the shrine opening the door and was met by the most delicious sent in the world. Walking into the room he saw that Kagome was sitting at the kitchen table with the note book open and she appeared to be asleep her head resting in her folded arms. Her hair spread around her shoulders some of it spilling over onto the table it looked so soft and for some reason he had the urge to cross the room and run his fingers though it.

Walking across the room he took a deep breath in haling her sent. The slight floral smell of her shampoo reaching his sensitive nose. Reaching his hand out he paused before putting his hand on her shoulder and shaking her slightly. Ok so a little more then slightly at lest to Kagome's point of view. Lifting her head she smiled looking over to Inu Yasha.

"Welcome home. There's Ramen on the stove I just made some but you came home later then I though you would what happened?"

"Detention. Why the hell didn't you warn me that they could keep me later then anyone else."

"I'm sorry I never."

"Your sorry that they kept me in that hell hole forever." He tried to sound irritated but the look on her face made him pause she could always do that to him.

"Just get me the Ramen I'm hungry." Sitting down he watched her she was wearing different pajamas today and for some reason he couldn't get that man out of his mind. Why hadn't he thought that Kagome wouldn't like him? Why did that bother him? What did it matter what idiots thought. But still he couldn't get it out of his mind. Why wouldn't she like him, he was nice most of the time at lest to her he was always nice to her because. because she helped him find the jewel shards but some part in the back of his mind was telling him that wasn't the only reason.

He watched her as she ate her ramen. Why did he feel so protective of her? With a frown he closed his eyes while he crossed his arms over his chest. Why should something that someone who is so unimportant says matter to you? It not like he could ever really take Kagome away from you. Could he? No he wouldn't let that happen. He didn't know it was all so confusing she had always been there when ever he wanted and if she wasn't he could drag her back to his time but what if this man laid claim to her? He would not allow that to happen.

What's wrong with him? She could tell that something was bothering him though she didn't think that he would appreciate it if she asked so instead she just sat there watching him. He was still wearing the school uniform and that made her smile. The collar was undone and it appeared a bit wrinkled but he seamed at easy in it. It was nice of him to go to school for her and she didn't know how she was every going to repay him but she could picture it now he would have her looking for jewel shards till she dropped. But that's all right she didn't really mind looking for them any more because some how she had come to associate looking for the shards to being with him. That was all that really mattered though she was afraid to tell him that she wanted to be with him. Looking down at her half eaten plate she pushed it away she wasn't that hungry any way.

"You should eat when you're sick you need your strength." Looking up in surprise her eyes met his and they stayed there for a few second.

"I'm not hungry." it was true the few bites that she had eaten made her stomach turn and she wasn't even sure if she would be able to hold them down.

"Then get to your damn room." He hadn't meant to sound so harsh and right now he could kick himself but she really didn't need to be up.

He watched as she walked up the stairs looking at the table he grabbed the notebook that had the notes he had made earlier in the day there was a nock on the door and he frowned walking over to open it when a familiar sent caught his attention.

"What the hell are you doing here."

"I could ask you the same question."

"you could but that doesn't mean that I'm going to answer."

"Then I will I came to see Kagome."

"She isn't feeling good."

Hojo didn't know what was wrong all these thoughts where going through his head. He didn't trust this man with Kagome. He was probably holding her captive here. No that was ridiculous why would he do that and then come to school. But then again maybe he was one of those and he was plotting to do something to the school poor Kagome I have to rescue her. But what if it's true what if Kagome is in love with this man. What would I do? I don't know if I could take it if she actually was.

Kagome frowned as she looked at her wall then she could hear the muffled sound of someone talking. Who was that? Was someone here? Leaning over she was going to try and listen but the phone rang rats why did it have to ring reaching over she picked it up.

"Hi sweetie how are you. Feeling any better."

"Oh I'm feeling much better mom you don't have to worry about me." It was a lie if anything she was feeling worse and that wasn't good.

There was a pause for a second. She knew, Somehow he mom knew that she was laying even over the phone. The thought went through her mind briefly and then it was confirmed when he mom spoke again.

"Let me talk to Inu Yasha."

"Ok."

____________-

"Let me see her for myself." Hojo said taking a small step toward the door

How dare he this man didn't know when to stop stepping back he was prepared to close the door when Hojos eyes widened and he began yelling for Kagome.

"Walking down the stair she hears her name but it wasn't Inu Yasha calling her it was Hojo?"

Listening to what was behind him he frowned as he could hear that Kagome had started down the stairs in a few seconds she was standing behind him.

"Kagome." Hojo yelled at her.

Hojo was shocked she looked terrible. Yelling her name he saw as she paused what was he doing here? But he was there standing on her porch in front of Inu Yasha. What was she going to do they where bound to come to words but knowing Inu Yasha maybe more.

"Inu Yasha," Walking up behind him she held out the phone. "Mom is on the phone and she wants to talk to you."

Inu Yasha stood there a second he didn't want to talk to her mother right now what would he say pausing her tried to think of the right words to describe it "Tell her to ring back later he said after a few seconds he finally came up with a word that would describe what he wanted her to do. "Have her call me bring me back please."

Though he had said please it came out of his mouth as a hiss, and she knew that he was holding back from either yelling or grabbing Hojo and throwing him around the room.

"Don't talk to Kagome like that." Hojo said taking a step toward them.

"I think that you should talk to her now." Kagome said holding the phone out in front of her. If Hojo wasn't there Inu Yasha would be getting the s word right now.

He knew what she was doing. She wanted him to talk to her mother so she could have some alone time wit that twit that was standing in the door way. Like there was any chance in hell he was going to allow that to happen.

"I said no."

Ok trying to get Inu Yasha to do something else wasn't working time to change tactics "Hojo I think that you should leave."

"No not unless you leave with me Kagome I am not leaving you here with him just look at you he's not taking care of you.

"I'm sick Hojo."

'Just look at her' Though he would always think that Kagome was beautiful right now she looked terrible that jerk wasn't taking care of her at all. It only served to make him more determined.

"You're leaving with me."

"No she's not." Inu Yasha said taking a step in between the two of them.

Hojo stood there looking back and forth between Kagome and the violent man.

She had to do something Hojo wasn't a demon he wouldn't be able to take Inu Yasha's hot temper taking a step forward she rested his hands on the cloth over his shoulders. His eyes widening Inu Yasha felt Kagomes hands rest against his back so she wanted him to leave this pathetic human alone then he would just as long as he stayed away from Kagome she was his. He wanted to hold onto his anger but the only thing he could think of was her hand resting on hi back.

Hojo frowned Kagome had moved up behind him and he had seen a change go across the violent mans face. God he's in love with her. 'With my Kagome.' Looking down he sighed what was wrong with him why was he so scared that she was going to be with this guy? 'because he's a freak and Kagome deserves better then him'

"Kagome can you go in the other room for a few seconds?" Inu Yasha said not taking his eyes off the other man.

"But."

"Just talk to your mother and tell her that I'll be on the phone in a few minutes." Shifting his eyes to tell her that he meant it she nodded before going hesitantly into the other room.

_______________-

"Mom he's busy right now and he'll be on the phone in a few minutes.

"what's wrong honey you sound sad."

"He's talking to Hojo mom." Her voice sounded deflated she knew because she was. Hojo was her chance for a real life he was normal but Inu Yasha was. He was. he was wonderful he filled her with life it was like when she was here in this time the only thing that she could think about was being back there being with him. And now he was here with her in her time and what? And what? She didn't want to let him go and she didn't want him to tear Hojo apart either she had the urge to sit him but she didn't. Not now not in front of Hojo. He was bound to wonder why a word had sent someone plummeting to the ground at top speed.

"What are they talking about?"

"I don't know he made me come into the other room."

"Oh." Miss Higurashi looked at the phone and then across the room this wasn't going to turn out very well because she knew that both of those young men where in love with her daughter. What it came down to is who would she chose thought she had to feel sorry because she knew that Kagome had already made her choice. "Honey your going to have to go break them up they need to know." She said as kindly as she could not wanting to upset Kagome more then she already was.

"I don't know what you're talking about mom."

"Sure you do and you need to let him know honey."

____________-

"I can see that you're not going to let me in but I love Kagome and I am not going to lose her to you." He couldn't stand it he would not give her to this harsh man. There was no way that he could treat Kagome like she deserved to be treated.

"I know you do and that's why I don't like you. Kagome is mine."

"She's not a thing you can't just say that she's yours and expect me to just accept it.

No he couldn't allow that to happen. Kagome couldn't say anything she would chose him wouldn't she after all she was human who was he to think that she would chose him a half demon when she had this semi normal man here. With this sinking in he frowned

"I love Kagome and I came to tell her she should at least know that."

Kagome dropped the phone staring at the two men standing in front of the door. Had he just said that he loved her? Had Hojo just said that he loved her? Yes he had the words rang in her ears she knew that he had always been nice to her. She would have to be stupid to not realize that he liked her but loved her?

Turning around Inu Yasha found that Kagome was standing there the phone at her feet. He could hear her mother yelling her name over and over again but she was still staring blankly at them. Frowning he watched as she took a step forward. The first time that a man had ever told her that he loved her. Even if he had hadn't been talking to her she knew. Walking toward them in a haze she shook her head. "I'm sorry I'm so sorry." the words escaped her mouth a little above a whisper.

She's sorry she's coming toward me Inu Yasha thought telling me that she's sorry. Well I just won't stand for that if she wants to be with this weak human then it's none of my business. She can do what ever she wants and if she wants. Then why does my heart feel like it being ripped out 'get mad that always worked' yes his anger could make up for anything but this time he couldn't even bring himself to open his mouth.

"Hojo."

This was it Kagome was going to tell him that she loved him back.

What was she going to say? Looking up she saw that Inu Yasha was no longer looking at her. He was no longer looking at Hojo either instead he was staring out the door to the sky beyond. His white hair was in contrast with the black of his uniform and though both him and Hojo where wearing. The same thing they were completely different. Stopping she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out instead she reached out her hand and touched Inu Yasha's arm bringing his attention back to her.

Her touch brought him back to reality looking down at the small hand he smiled a little did she want him to understand well he understood that she was leaving. Then her eyes met his and everything changed.

"Hojo I'm sorry but I. I don't return your feelings."

Hojo felt his chest freeze as she finished her words so she had chosen him this brash man this violent man held Kagomes heart. The thing was that this man had no clue just how great Kagomes was. He probably just took her for granted. "Well I'll be leaving now."

Oh god all this movement all this stress she began to sway a little on her feet before she crashed into him.

Instantly Inu Yasha started to panic reaching for her shoulders he shook her

"Kagome, Kagome wake up please wake up"

Instead her head lulled forward and came to rest against his chest again. In shock he could hear her mother still yelling on the phone she would know what to do leaning over and picking it up he started to yell in the phone.

"Kagome needs to see a medicine woman."

"Oh god what happened?"

"she's fainted an"

"what's her temperature?"

Putting his free hand to her forehead he instantly drew it back because of the heat.

"She's burning up."

"you need to get her to the hospital."

"the hospital where is it"

"I can take you there" Hojo yelled from the doorway before grabbing hold of his bike. After a second of hesitation Hojo turned back to see that Inu Yasha had scoped Kagome up in his arms and was headed toward him.

"Do you know where another bike is.."

"Don't worry about me I can keep up."

As they burst into the emergency room Inu Yasha frowned was her mother right was he supposed to bring here the place reeked of death. The other man had rushed up to the front desk and was speaking frantically to the woman behind it soon people were rushing toward him. With a start he realized that they had come to take Kagome away from him looking at the two men wearing green he growled how did he know that he could trust them with her.

"Tell me where you want her?" he snarled at the two men who took an inadvertent step back.

"This way I'll see to her now sir said a man that had come up behind them."

Following the man he walked into a little room that was divided by a curtain.

"There lay her on the bed and please take a step back." Taking a step back he bumped into Hojo.

They watched as the doctor brought his hand to her wrist and then took her temperature.

"How long has she been sick he said turning to look at the two men that where standing there.

"A few days."

"Why wasn't she brought here eliyier?"

'because I didn't know that a place like this existed Inu Yasha thought but it wasn't like he could say it out loud. "She was too stubborn to come."

"We need to run some tests I don't think that she has just a common cold."

Inu Yasha stood outside the door well aware that Hojo was standing a few inches away from him glaring at him let him like he cared the only thing that mattered right now was Kagome.

The lab technician looked at the screen. With a frown on her face "Doctor can you come look at this." She said in an urgent voice

That's it for now ^.^ I felt like being a little evil want more then I love reviews
