Wah! I don't own Inu Yasha or any of the characters that are related to
this series. Hey, a girl can dream can't she?
I don't have a lot of reviews. I would appreciate some constructive criticism though. This is actually my first fanfic that I wrote here. I'm more or less curious to see what you guys like or dislike about these stories and I want to know how to improve them. Please send me reviews!
On with the fic!

Chapter 5 - A Rescue? Not Exactly.
"Argh! Damn well! Now I cut my hands again!" Kagome said.
She let out a big sigh and pulled herself and her enormous yellow backpack out of the well. She then proceeded to her house. She slowly opened the door to reveal a rather quiet house.
"Mom? Grandpa? Souta? Where are you guys?" Kagome yelled.
The only reply she had was the sound of crickets chirping, signaling that night was fast approaching. She let out yet another sigh and dropped her bag by the door. Then it dawned on her.
'I have the house to myself!' she thought excitedly.
She immediately ran upstairs to the bathroom, pouring herself a tub of hot water with bubble bath in it. She ran to her room as the bathtub was filling and collected aromatherapy candles, some oils, her sweet strawberry shampoo and conditioner, and her bathrobe.
She came back to the bathroom and turned the hot water off. She proceeded to discard her clothing into a pile on the floor near the bathtub. She then, slowly but surely stepped into the hot water and submerged herself down into it. Soon the pinch on her skin from the water melted away and she began to relax.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'The scent is getting stronger. I'm almost there!' thought Inu Yasha.
Inu Yasha's heart was racing. The Bone-Eater's well was in sight. He slowed down and came to a halt right in front of it. He sniffed the air only to have the scent of Kagome's blood fill his nostrils.
"I'm coming Kagome!" Inu Yasha screamed. With that, he jumped into the well and passed over to present day Japan. When he emerged, he took one leap and was at the entrance to the well house. He threw open the door and ran to Kagome's house.
'I'm almost there; I can smell her.' He thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome slowly opened her eyes. "I must have fallen asleep. That's not too good. Well, at least I didn't drown." She giggled to herself.
She emerged from the bathtub and took a towel to dry off. She then took another towel to wrap around herself. She used the towel she originally had to dry her hair.
'She's near.' Inu Yasha ran through her house and followed her scent up stairs. His light weight footsteps gave no sound, thus not warning Kagome that Inu Yasha was within feet of her.
Kagome finished drying her hair. She went over to hang the towel over the edge of the tub. A loud crash came from behind her and she stood up and whirled around just as the dust began to settle. There he was. The red fire rat haori hiding a well-toned figure. That gorgeous silver hair that flows softly when the wind touches it. Those cute fuzzy ears that were twitching wildly in this second. Those lips, the ones she longed to taste.to feel.to never let go of. And those eyes; those amber orbs that were shimmering in the light. Then she looked at him as a whole. He had a look of worry written all over his face. He advanced towards her, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close. A look of puzzlement was written all over her face.
"Are you okay? I smelt your blood from the village." He said. She was too awestruck to answer. She was still mesmerized by those eyes. They showed fear. 'Fear of what?' Kagome asked herself.
"Kagome! Answer me!" He yelled. She immediately pulled away from him.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" she cried.
Inu Yasha was startled. He gave her a very confused look. His face then became as red as a tomato as he looked at what she was wearing.
'Wow. She has a gorgeous body. I mean I've seen it before, but I never had this good of a look at her. Does she realize how beautiful she is? I'm surprised that she doesn't have anyone courting her. Of course, I wouldn't mind making her my mate. That way I could see that luscious body all of the time.Wait a minute! I've been hanging around Miroku too much!" He berated himself. At this point, his facial expression became stern, yet extremely upset. He remembered what he had said to her.
Kagome took notice of when his face turned red and then emotional. She then looked down at herself only to realize that she was wearing nothing but a towel all this time. She screamed and slapped him across the face followed by several 'SITS'.
"Grr.Hey what did you do that for?!" Screamed Inu Yasha.
"Well, you shouldn't have just burst in here unannounced and then gawk at me like that! I'm almost naked!" Screamed Kagome.
"Well it's not like your skirt hides any more that that! Besides I was worried about you!" He screamed back in her face.
Kagome apparently disregarded the latter of that statement and what she had heard made her angrier. "Oh what! So now you're looking at me when before you couldn't stand the sight of me?!"
"What do you mean?! I can't help but look at you! And if you're not around, then you're in my mind!" He screamed back.
Kagome heard that and was taken aback; all she could do was stare at him awestruck. Inu Yasha's face was slightly red and his breathing was heavier than normal because of all the screaming. His ears were twitching back and forth and his eyes showed a fiery passion that Kagome only saw when he was in battle. At that moment, she realized just how beautiful he was and why she fell in love with him. It was the passion he held for the things that meant the most to him. She also noticed that it took Inu Yasha a couple of seconds to realize what he had said. A slight blush crept onto his face and his eyes darted away from hers.
'What did I just say?! She looks almost scared!' His mind screamed. 'I wish I didn't say anything!'
"Inu Yasha." Kagome said in barely a whisper. Lucky for him, his dog ears caught on to her voice. He slowly started to back away from her. He didn't know why, but he was afraid of what she would say to him. He was scared.scared of the fact that she might be like Kikyo. He turned and with his back to her, he started to run out of the room.
"Inu Yasha! SIT!" Kagome screamed when she noticed he was about to dash out of the room. Now, he had his face on the floor admiring the tiles in the bathroom. Kagome bent down next to him and started to caress his silky silver hair.
"Inu Yasha.please don't run. We have to talk." Kagome said in a soft, loving voice.
"Feh.We don't have anything to talk about.And why did you sit me?" He replied. He was trying to sound stern, but her gentle hand against his hair was making him relax and go numb. He didn't even try to get up after the spell wore off. He just laid there with his eyes closed, enjoying the moment and sensations that Kagome was causing. After a few minutes, Kagome stopped caressing his locks of hair. His eyes shot open at the immediate ceasing of her hand.
"Why did you stop?" He asked looking up.
Kagome stood up, grabbed her bathrobe and put it on over her towel. She tied her robe and let the towel drop from underneath it.
"We still have to talk. If you are willing to talk, I promise there will be more of that. Besides, my hand was getting tired." She said and walked out of the room. He stood up dumbfounded for a minute and then bounded after her towards her room. When he walked in, Kagome had just finished blow drying her hair. She walked over to her bed and sat down on it and motioned for Inu Yasha to sit down next to her. Instead, he crouched down right in front of her with his ears giving a slight twitch. He was looking down, suddenly finding his feet more interesting.
Kagome let a small sigh escape her lips and lifted his chin up with her hand until their eyes met.
'My gods her eyes are so beautiful. It feels like I get lost in them every time I look at her. Why can't I tear myself away from her gaze? Oh yea.I almost forgot about how much I love her.' Inu Yasha thought.
'I want to ask why he's here, especially after what I had said to him. It was pretty mean. I can't even believe he came to see if I was all right. But I can't help look into his eyes. They're so gorgeous.' She thought.
Just when it seemed like that moment could last forever, the phone rang. It startled both of them and Inu Yasha jumped away from her. Kagome got up and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Kagome! You're home! I had a feeling you might be there so I called." It was Kagome's mother.
"Hi! Yeah.I'm home, but maybe not for long. It all depends." Replied Kagome as she turned to look at Inu Yasha. He was busy looking around her room.
"Well that's good. I'm sorry to say that your grandfather, Souta and I won't be there. Souta is sleeping over a friend's house and your grandfather and I had some business to take care of for the shrine. Since it will be very late by the time we'd finish up, we will be staying over until tomorrow." Kagome's mom said.
"Okay! Well, have fun!" Replied Kagome.
"We will. Goodbye honey! I love you!"
"I love you too mom. Bye." With that, Kagome hung up the phone. She turned to see Inu Yasha looking at her.
"That was my mother. No one will be home tonight so we have the place to ourselves." Kagome said with half a giggle in her voice.
"You mean.you want me to stay here?" Asked Inu Yasha.
"Sure! Why not? What can go wrong with you here to protect me? You can be my guard dog."
Inu Yasha smiled a wicked smile at that comment. "Oh you'll pay for that last remark, Kagome. Start running!"
Kagome took a huge gulp of air and paled. She slowly inched her way to the door and when she got there, she bolted out of her room and down the stairs. Inu Yasha gave her a five second head start and ran after her.
