Kouga stepped back with a startled cry for Kagome to stay back, she looked over his broad tanned shoulders to see a figure in the dim light. The wolf stepped aside having the hanyou with silver hair take hold of her arm, she screamed trying to release from the binding grasp.

"What..... What are you doing? Kouga," Her voice was hushed as Inuyasha put his pointed nail to her lips, for the anger and fear rose in her heart." We need to talk," She closed her eyes looking up to see his cold glare fall upon her.

For that moment she felt weak and helpless, how he towered over her with those golden eyes deepening in her.

With a slight nod they went up the stairs to her room, furnished with the smell of scented candles lingering in the air. The feeling of safety swept over her, this room took her away from worry and dealing with problems. For now, her time would be with him, there was nothing she was to say to him.

" Who is this man? Some psycho you met at your psychiatry?" Her eyes hadn't wanted to see his, he hadn't known what he was speaking of, he was kind and treated her, like he truly cared. Unlike Inuyasha who was so high strung around his world, loving a woman she used to be.

" His name is Kouga, I met him in my classes," Eyeing him she could see he could smell the scent of lies she told, wrinkling his nose he made a light growl. " And you say he is better for you, I can smell the blood from his veins on your hands,"

With a cold glare shot at him bewilderment hit her, some hints of red were inches from her nails. Slipping her hands from view, again silence took over.

" He is to stay the night, to protect me," With a laugh she saw Inuyasha give a fake laugh, a playful smirk outspread on his lips.

He shook his head looking her in the eyes, their nose tips touched with eyes searching for answers in each other. "Feh, I bet that mongrel will leave," He let out a puff of air and lay on the sheets with his arms under his head.

"I can protect you... you know that I would," She laughed with ridicule back at the dog demon, having her anger release from inside her. " Yeah, after you nearly shatter his leg bone I should pay forgiveness?!"

Kagome's voice released from her lips, making an aggravated cry she stood from her bed, " There is nothing I have to say, except for you to leave!" With her hair a mess and in a pink fluffed robe suspicion came to Inuyasha's mind.

Both shot a cold glare at one another, a spark seemed to set a fire in their eyes watching every move being taken.

" I won't come if this stray animal lays one claw on you!" Her face flushed white and with a scream the dog met the ground in a back breaking sit.

Kouga watched both walk down from the stairs, he didn't speak a word, taking his car keys the boy with a cap and denim jeans left the home silently. The girl stood there with a look of disgust on her face twisted with sickened enrage.

" You alright Kagome?" He put his hand softly on her shoulder, nodding the sound of a car's motor rumbled in the distance. Feeling dirt and grime on her skin and hair she turned looking at the wolf.

" I need to wash myself down, make yourself at home! Okay?" She waved her hand in front of his eyes heading back where she just appeared, not caring to lock the door it slammed lightly.

~*

The clock ticked with every second passing, Kouga grew worry for the woman hadn't appeared from her room for twenty minutes. Smelling the aroma of scented shampoo he cautiously made his way silently up the wooden stairs.

Tapping the door with on knuckle of his finger there was silence, peering in the door opened more than what he expected. A startled face met his own in a wet towel about her waist, her raven hair wet and dripping covering her whole top half.

He blinked senselessly with so much coming to mind he found himself looking at the girl Kagome in a hentai like way. Seconds passed until both screamed, she tossed a glass jar at his face, slamming the door shattering glass was heard on the other end.

Great, once I earned her trust I walked in on her nearly bare! Astonished to see his ears red along with his flushed face, blushing at the hall mirror. Your a demon, what chance do you have with a human girl? After all.... that man has nerves going after her like that.

~*

Kagome herself blushed, after all she was startled to see why he had looked after all. Twenty minutes had passed since her disappearance in her room, with a feeling of stupidity wonder swelled inside.

He worries about me.... he would have to if he came in like that, he hadn't known Kagome blushed at the thought falling on the bed, remembering of the late time she put on her clothes and dried her hair. Stepping out to see Kouga looking around.

Every step he took, steady and with each step it seemed he took notice where to place his foot on ground. Noticing her presence they both looked at one another, with there pupils small from embarrassment with closed mouths they turned away trying to wipe the look of pleasure on their faces.

I knew it.... he saw me blushing! With a stern face she tried to keep her muscles in her mouth from forming a perverted smile, " I..." He stopped her suddenly, "I umm.... am sorry of my intrusion."

She stepped back in shock, intrusion?! That was no intrusion, I want to tell you how I feel, she hid her emotions bottled up. Not now would she spill her mind to him openly, he rarely even came close to her.

" You must be terribly weary, here, some clothes to sleep in," Setting some boxers in his hands he grinned, with a buttoned sleep shirt along with it.

Silence was around them, " I have an empty room beside my own, you can sleep there," Hurrying up the stairs to take out some sheets for the bare mattress her glowing face red and breaking through hidden in the cloth.

~*

Weariness took over her, closing a book she had finished, awake enough to check on the room Kouga was. Seeming so awfully quiet she saw the door slightly open, with a glass of water on a shelf he turned in the blue boxers with the shirt unbuttoned.

With her face glowing he grinned sheepishly " The shirt was a little to small to button up, sorry," He held up a button between two clawed fingers. With a outbreak of laughter they covered over their laughs, glancing over at each other.

"It... it is alright" Her laughed stifled out as both cleared there throats, " I don't blame you, I mean, the shirt is small," She actually kept eye contact but noticed his black hair fallen over his shoulders barely past them at least but a few inches longer. The window was open with a full moon pouring in a beam of light in with a strange essence.

Taking the glass he sipped the water eyeing Kagome as she goggled at him, he laughed, his lips lifted revealing his wolf fangs. Azure eyes cheaply replied back to her as if to say " What's with you goggling at me?" She blushed touching her cheek. Stars shone in her eyes and she excused herself from the room from further doings.

Stepping back to her own room she collapsed on her mattress, barely caring to pull the sheets up sleep drowned her into dreams.

~*

With Kagome gone Kouga sighed reluctantly slipping the tight shirt, his muscles in his arms tensed and turned sore from being kept in place. Slipping the shirt off he folded the item of clothing over his bed.

Half awake he stepped down the stairs keeping the stairs from creaking, rushing the sink water in the glass he tipped the ice cubes in the sink clattering on the tiled bottom.

Making his way back up he could hear her calling his name, he stepped in the room seeing her laugh with her arms folded against her chest. Her hands touching the pillow, with a yawn he lifted her from the sheets, placing her under the blankets he turned from her.

Hearing yet another sound come from her he stepped back, and lightly kissed her on the cheek. A smile formed on her face quickly turning back to breathing as she dreamt.

"Goodnight....Kagome,"

~*

Light stung her open eyes fixing on the light seeping into them, her brown eyes blinked to focus on the room around her. Last night seemed so real, in her dream she found herself becoming closer to Kouga, awaking in the night to feel someone lift her from the bed. Could it have been....

No.... it wasn't.... but what was with the feeling of someone kissing my forehead... Her fingers came up to her forehead, she grinned just imagining her first kiss given to her by Kouga.

She felt so light, hearing a sudden sound she stood from her rest, feeling so free she nearly tumbled. His room was open and he lay there over the sheets, lying on his back his arms hung to the side, on foot set on the bed bending his leg in half.

He seemed so peaceful, if he really was an angel she imaged him with brown or black wings, finely dressed the thought of the symbol of angels... death. Kouga might have so many enemies he could be in danger.

One of his eyes opened slowly looking over at the doorway, " Well, good morning," She smiled hiding the worry away, her eyes gave way, glistening with a crystal glaze.

He hadn't the need to ask, she worried for his sake, sure he was a man of strength and a well mind. Even though he was strong he had to admit there was nothing he knew to do even if in a deadly fight or accident.

" You shouldn't cry," He said firmly, sitting up with his back aching he stretched out wearily, the day seemed already ancient awaiting his wakening. Taking hold of the clothes she held in hand he took a lock of black hair behind her ear.

She grinned as he closed the door to change for the day, dressing herself she slipped on jeans and a spaghetti strap shirt, revealing some skin she ran downstairs taking hold of her wallet.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" She turned back fumbling with the wallet in her hand, with a bright face she laughed waving at him in a silly mood.

"I'm getting together with a friend... Rin, care to come?" Slipping on her sneakers he stood at the last step, looking up he closed his eyes. Opening them he nodded slowly, " Sure, but make it quick, I'm not the best person to meet new people."

Not knowing if he was joking both walked out the door, with the car out front she drove his car to her destination. The wind blew back her hair as she pressed the button for the top to come over, with Kouga seeing the traffic pass by silently she worried.

What did he fear so much.....?

With worry in his eyes,

It make me see,

he has fear,

With the worry inside me...
