CHAPTER 4

"So, where is your car, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she and Inuyasha walked out of the hospital. "Right over here." He replied as he fished some keys out of his pocket.

They rounded a corner and into the staffs parking lot. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and her mouth fell open slightly. "You have a Jag?" She asked in disbeliefe. The car was a cherry red, black topped convertible. It had matching black leather interor.

Inuyasha looked at her with an raised eye brow. "Yeah. Is that a problem?" He asked sarcastically. Kagome quickly shook her head. "No, its just that you seem like the kinda guy who'd have a Monster Truck or something." Kagome explaimed as she and Inuyasha walked over to the car.

Inuyasha unlocked the car and opened the door for Kagome. She slid into the passengers set and instantly fell in love with the car. The black leather seating of the car was soft and well coushioned. Kagome leaned her head against the head rest and closed her eyes. "Comfortable?" Inuyasha asked as he got in on the drivers side. "Very." Kagome said while keeping her eyes closed.

Kagome heard the roar of the motor as Inuyasha started the car. Inuyasha pulled slowly out of the parking lot and into the trafic. He took one turn that instantly took him off the high way and onto a country road. When he was off the high way he floored it.

Kagome opened her eyes as she felt the car gain speed. "I see you're a speed demon." She comented. Inuyasha just smirked in reply. He reached over and hit a button and the top slowly began to open.

Kagome's ebony hair whipped wildly in the wind. 'This is great!' She thought as the wind whipped at her cheeks.

Inuyasha turned on the radio and loud music came blaring out of the speakers. The song that was blaring out of the radio was 'Get Low' by Little John, The East Side Boys, and The Ying Yang Twins.

"I've never heard music like this before!" She yelled over the music and wind at Inuyasha. Kagome's attuide instantly sobered when the sentence was out of her mouth. 'I guess I wouldn't know if I'd ever heard music like this before.' Kagome thought as she looked at the land scape that was rushing by.

Inuyasha glanced over at the suddenly silent girl. By the look on her face he could instantly tell what it was she was thinking about. He reach a hand over and awkwarly patted her knee. "Theres no sence in worring about things that can't be changed right, know." He said.

"I guess your right." Kagome said as she turned her eyes on Inuyasha's driving form. 'How can he be so kind and gentle one moment and then rude and arrogant the next?' She thought as she stared at the handsome doctor. "So, where is this house of yours?" She asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Just over that bridge." Inuyasha replied as he pointed out a small bridge that was over a creek.

He drove over the bridge and Kagome saw the most beautiful house she had ever seen. It was very big, at least three stories high. It was painted white with dark green shutters. "This is where you live?" Kagome asked in awe. "Yep, this is home sweet home." Inuyasha replied as he got out of the car. Kagome got out of the car also, and just looked around at the neautiful suroundings.

Kagome suddenly heard a low growling sound coming from right behind her. She slowly turned around and saw a huge black and white dog. It was huge! Its head came up to a few inches above Kagome's waist. The dog looked at Kagome with his intense gaze. Kagome noticed that one of the dogs eyes was a sky blue, and the other one was dark brown. "Nice doggie." Kagome said in a nervous voice as began to back away from the dog.

Kagome had back all the way around the car. She bumped into something hard and solid. She looked over her shoulder to see Inuyasha with an amused look on his face. "What are you doing?" He asked with a smirk.

Kagome gave him a look that said, 'Are you crazy!' "I'm trying not to get eatin alive by this dog!" She said with fear in her voice.

Inuyasha looked at the dog with a bored expression on his face. "Oh, you mean this dog?" He asked in a inocent sounding voice.

"Yes, that dog!" Kagome said as she stept behind Inuyasha.

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and squatted down and clapped his hands. The dog came running right towards him. Kagome thought the dog was going to attack Inuyasha so she threw both her hands up and covered her face. She expected to hear growling and Inuyasha screaming in pain, but instead she heard nothing.

She slowly removed her hands to not see a growling, man eating dog, instead she saw a dog with his tail wagging and whinning for attion.

"You don't have to be afraid of him." Inuyasha said as he rubbed the dogs ears. The dog sat down and leaned his head into the rubbing. Inuyasha reached behind him and pulled Kagome to a squatting position beside him. "Hold out your hand and let him smell it." He instructed.

Kagome kept an eye on the dog. "I'd rather not." She said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Look, your gonna be living here for awhile so you might as well get used to him." Inuyasha said as he took on of Kagome's hands and held it in front of the dog.

Kagome was still frightend, but she trusted Inuyasha. She held her breath as she felt the dogs breath on her hand. 'Please, don't bite me.' Kagome thought as she closed her eyes. Kagome's eyes snapped open when she felt a warm, wet toung glide across her hand.

Kagome let her breath out in a loud 'whoosh.' Kagome slowly broght her hand up to the dogs head and began to rub his ears. The dog closed his eyes and leaned into her hands, begging for her to rub his ears some more.

"Now was that so hard?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk on his face.

Kagome just looked at him and stuck her toung out at him. She knew it was childish, but she didn't care. "So, you gonna tell me his name?" Kagome asked as she turned her attention back to the dog.

"His name is Demon." Inuyasha said. At hearing his name, Demon's ears perked up.

"Demon? He's anything BUT a demon." Kagome said as she raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha.

"Feh, that's not what you thought when you first met him. If I remember correctly, this dog here was going to eat you alive." Inuyasha said as he stood and dusted his pants off.

Kagome also stood. "Well, that was before I got to know him." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest in a stubborn manner.

"Yeah, sure, you believe what you wanna believe." Inuyasha said as he began to walk towards his house, Demon following close behind. Inuyasha pushed the door open and walked into his house.

'He is so arrogant it isn't even funny!' Kagome thought as she followed Inuyasha into the house.

When Kagome walked into the house she was, once again, amazed at what she saw. She was standing in a huge living room. It had hard wood floors, a fire place with a rug in front of it, a big black leather couch and chair, and an oak coffee table right in the middle of it all.

There was a sword above the fire place. Kagome walked over to it to read what was written beneth it on the plague. It read 'Tetsuiga.' Kagome reach a hand up and gently ran her finger over the swords hilt. When her finger came in contack with the hilt, she thought she felt it pulse. She quickly jerked her hand away, and looked at the sword in amazement.

"You like it?" Inuyasha asked from behind her. Kagome whirled around only to have her eyes lock with Inuyasha's amber ones. 'I could get lost in his eyes.' Kagome thought. She felt a blush begin to rise in her cheeks and she quickly turned away from Inuyasha's peircing gaze and looked back at the sword.

"It's a beautiful sword." Kagome said as she looked anywhere but at Inuyasha. 'I hope he didn't see me blush.' Kagome thought as she looked at the sword. She finally got the courage to look at him. Inuyasha was also staring at the sword, an emotion in his eyes that Kagome could not desipher.

"It belonged to my father." Was the only thing Inuyasha said.

Kagome and Inuyasha just stood there for a while in silence, staring at the sword. Inuyasha slowly shook his head, as if shaking a memory away. "Lets go get something to drink." Inuyasha said and walked away from the the fire place and in the direction of the kitchen. Kagome took one last look at the sword, then followed Inuyasha to the kitchen.
