Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…though I soo wish I did…and his brother too XD
And Those Amber Eyes of Sunshine…-Chapter Eight: Evil Knocks…Loudly
Inuyasha slowly pulled himself out of his deep slumber when a knock came at the door, waited a few seconds, then knocked again. Growling, and not wanting to detach himself from the still sleeping Kagome, he carefully got up from the inside of the couch and hurriedly walked to the door so whoever it was wouldn't disturb her as well.
Opening it, he was greeted ecstatically by his best friend Miroku. "Inuyasha! I'm so glad you're here!" Grumbling, Inuyasha squeezed through a small space in the door, trying to hide the fact that he had a girl in there. He certainly didn't want Miroku's mind coming up with some perverted idea about him and Kagome. But sadly, and regrettably, Miroku spotted Kagome's dark hair that reached the floor. "Inuyasha! Who is that," He asked with a grin, nudging his ribs. Inuyasha gave him a heated gaze and snarled, "No one, what do you want?" Miroku, looking a tiny bit hurt, raised his hands to ward of Inuyasha's anger. That only made it worse, for Inuyasha knocked Miroku's gloved, right hand away, hissing, "Don't point that at me."
Laughing at the hanyou's fear of his magic vacuum, Miroku asked again, "Really Inuyasha, who is that?" Sighing, he relied in a defeated voice, "Some stupid women who came to see Kikyo's funeral with me."
"Ah, I had heard you went, and I had heard you'd gone with a girl as well." Inuyasha's anger returned and he snapped at him, forgetting about the still sleeping Kagome, "It's not like she was my date or anything, she's just a stupid wench I met while staying with my brother."
"Woah, woah, calm down! I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to come see how you were, and by the looks of it, not so good…You look like shit," Miroku exclaimed, grinning.
Sighing, Inuyasha's head and ears drooped and he raised a hand to massage his temple. "Miroku, can you please just leave. I promise to see you later…But for now, I just want to sleep." Miroku gave him a concerned look before nodding his approval and patting his friend on the shoulder. "I'll see you later, Inuyasha, go back to bed."
With that, Miroku turned and left and Inuyasha did the same, only he went back into the apartment instead.
When he got back inside, he walked to the sofa and sat down on the edge at Kagome's feet. His movements must've been a little too strong, for Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she looked at him.
--
He looked awful, she thought as she opened her eyes to see Inuyasha sitting near her feet. His eyes were puffy and red and his skin had a slightly transparent look to it. His hair, usually tick and lush, seemed thinner. He'd changed, it seemed, over night.
Sitting up, she scooted to where he sat and wrapped one arm around his shoulders, placing a hand on each one as she leaned against his arm. "Inuyasha," she said softly as she felt his hand cover hers.
They spent a few long minutes in silence before Kagome began to tug at him, pulling him back into a laying position and incredibly surprised, Inuyasha could do nothing but let her.
Once they were lying down again, Kagome entangled him in her embrace and whispered softly in his ear, "Sleep Inuyasha, I will be here." And with that, he fell back into a deep slumber, listening to her voice as she hummed softly.
Later that day, Inuyasha woke once more, got changed into normal clothes, and told the still sleeping Kagome that he was going to go talk to the landlord about moving out. She had looked at him puzzled, asking why, and he had only replied asking in a hesitant voice, "I thought you wanted protection from Naraku…" Immediately, Kagome's puzzlement vanished and she nodded furiously to reassure him.
He had patted her head then walking to the coat closet, opened it and pulled out a long black overcoat. Putting it on he opened the front door and was about to leave when he turned back to her and growled, "Make sure you don't open the door wench, no matter how many times they knock." Blinking, she nodded dumbly and watched him close the door, listening to his departing words, "Lock me out..."
After he'd left, she locked him out as he'd commanded, sliding the three locks and the chain lock into place before going to the comfy sofa and curling into a ball where they had laid, falling instantly to sleep.
An hour seemed to pass, and then another and a worried Kagome was now awake and pacing, waiting for Inuyasha to come home. 'I thought he was just going to talk to the landlord.' She wished she had gotten his cell number.
A knock came from the door and she stopped pacing, looked towards the sound with a startled look. She had a bad feeling that whatever it was on the other side wasn't very pleasant. Walking to the sofa, she grabbed her bow and quiver that had been leaning against it and got ready to do battle…just in case…
Whoever it was was silent for a moment, and then there came a louder knock that made her flinch and take a step back. Finally, after what seemed ages, she thought it'd had gone away, for all was silent. So lowering her bow and knocked arrow she sighed in relief.
But her assumptions had been wrong, for a soft voice floated through the door to her. "Ka-go-me…" The voice, a wicked, oozing sound, sent shivers up her spine and she fought hard to keep from screaming.
"Kagome, I know your in there, I've been watching you since I felt the presence of the Shikon no Tama enter city limits." The voice said again, an evil laugh following his words. "But…I'll come back and see you later, just incase you aren't up to company. Oh, by the way, how did your new hanyou friend take the news of his beloved's death?"
Growling, she couldn't help herself as she screamed through the door to him, "You bastard, just go away!" Another laugh found its way to her ears and again he said, "I'll see you later, Kagome, be sure and have the Shikon no Tama with you."
After that, she could feel the evil in the air dissipate then disappear all together, but still shaky, she positioned herself into a corner, ready to shoot an arrow at who ever came through that door.
When Inuyasha came home, he was been greeted in the strangest way possible, just narrowly missing a purifying arrow that came at him out of no where, hw watched as it stuck into the hallway wall behind him.
Turning, he sighted Kagome standing in a shadowed corner with wide eyes, Bow held up in an attacking stance. "Kagome," He snarled at her, "What the hell was that for?!"
In the next second he found himself being hurled backwards with such force that it caused him to fall back onto the ground. Kagome had flung herself at him, clutching his shirt in her tight fists, bawling.
"Kagome, wha-why are you crying, what happened," He asked, grunting as he lifted both himself and Kagome off the ground. He couldn't make out a single word she said as she cried things that went through her sobs, making them a continuous stream of unintelligible words.
Shuffling into the apartment, he made to close the door but stopped as his nose caught a strange scent in the doorway. Recognizing what it was, he let go of the sobbing Kagome and turned, slamming the door shut and pulling the locks shut as fast as humanly possible…or…half humanly and half demon-like ability.
Turning again, he leaned back against the door, taking deep breaths. 'Naraku was here?' Looking at the still crying Kagome who had her hands over her face to hide the tears, he pulled her into his arms and walked them both awkwardly to the couch, sitting her down on his lap.
It felt weird to have her sitting there, but more then his sense of worry was his concern for the crying Kagome who clung to his crimson, silky, button up shirt with both her slim hands. 'If he hurt her…' He began to think, a dangerous growl rising in the back of his throat.
This noise caused Kagome to stop her crying as she looked up to stare at him with puffy eyes. "Inuyasha," she asked softly, unburying her face from his chest. He looked down, his growl immediately stopping. "Kagome…did he hurt you?" He couldn't understand why he was feeling so protective of this stupid human, but knowing he was, he decided not to fight what was a laid down fact.
Kagome shook her head and leaned against his chest, soft hiccups coming from her as she still clung to him with one white fist. He sighed in relief and nodded, then asking, "What did he say?" He felt her stiffen slightly before telling him the contents of their conversation, if you could've called it that anyway.
His hold around her tightened as she finished. "Kagome, we will leave this place as soon as possible, we will go far, far away where he can't find you OR the Shikon no Tama." "It's too late, Inuyasha, he said he's grabbed onto the Shikon no Tama's presence, he'll be able to follow the trail anywhere now," She choked out around the lump that rose in her throat once more.
Clenching his teeth, he leaned his cheek on the top of her head, thinking, before finally coming to a conclusion.
'Naraku, if you come near her again…I'll kill you…'

Ooooo, Inuyasha's getting protective, mehahaha, is this a start to a beautiful relationship I see? Maybe…you'll just have to read the future chapters and of course REVIEW to keep me going on this story.
