Chapter 3 – Hell NO!

"Protection," he added, incase the girl still had no idea what was going on. "Means that I would have to be with you at all times."

Something had happen that night, he knew, there was no way he'd even be interested in a human female, let alone mark one! But a mark was a mark, a youkai promise that must never be broken, not that Inuyasha had broken one, he reminded himself, though it wasn't as though he had made one before..

"But I don't want your protection," the girl was saying. "I don't want anything from a youkai."

"Feh!" Inuyasha spat, "as if I would ever want to protect a human." But the truth was, that he had been surprised at her rejection, he'd never thought a mere human would reject a offer of protection from a being whose strength was several times greater than their race. "But my point is," he sighed. "It's not a option for either of us."

"Not a option for you", the Hunter replied. "But I warn you, come close to me again and I will not hesitate.." She stretched out her index finger and slid it horizontally across her throat. "To kill you."

With that, she turned and began to leave.

"By the way," he added behind her turned back. "I am a hanyou, if that makes you feel any better."

*~*~*~*

It was going to scar, Kagome thought miserable as she backed away from the mirror. Her hand brushed against the tiny, hard bumps near her collarbone, which tingled slightly under her own touch. The wound would eventually go away, though leaving two identical imprints permanently on her skin.

Kami! She was going to get him for this! Inuyasha, that was the name, Kagome fumed at the thought. Not even a youkai, but a hanyou, a half-youkai. She was pinned to the ground last night by a half-youkai and she doubt that she'd ever live it down. Another reason why she must never tell Sango and Miroku about the encounter and Kagome could only hope that neither Hunters noticed.

"What are you doing here?"

Her first reaction was to jump in fright, the bell for class had already run and Kagome didn't think that any one would appears in the bathrooms, except for a certain hanyou. Hand reached for the side pocket for her bag where the hidden dagger laid, if he dared to make a move on her, she would kill him.

"Standing," She replied monotonously, before reminding him. "This is a girl's toilet."

"How true", he purred.

Kagome spun around, surprised at the change of his tone. Her surprised widened when she saw that he had reverted to his hanyou form.

*~*~*~*

Only two of them, he thought, how perfect was it for her to wait for him, just him. The surprise in her brown eyes were gone, replaced by a dreamy, almost willing look.. He leaned toward her and saw her flinching under his touch, claws brushed through her black hair, trailing softly against the smooth skin of her cheek.

She was still the same as he remembered her, still responsive as the moment he left, leaving her with a single promise. He hadn't wanted to leave, of course, yet she persisted, she needed time to erase her uncertainty. But now he was back and seeking for the answer he had waited for centuries.

"I missed you," he murmured as she reached out, touching the soft, white fur on his ears, he twitched with pleasure. It didn't really matter that it wasn't wholly the same as before, he didn't have the appearance of a hanyou then, but that change could easily be used to his advantage.

*~*~*~*

She quivered lightly, magnetized by the caress of his claws on her skin, her hair. Her breath came out in small gasps through her mouth. Eye half closed as she watched him draw closer, his mouth parted slightly..

HELL NO!

Eyes snapped open to their full size as she shoved him, firmly, one hand against his chest whilst the other swung up and slapped him, hard on his face. Hanyou or no, no one seduces her in a school bathroom.

She pulled her dagger out, wiping her mouth on the back of her hand, eyes on the shocked expression on the hanyou's face. This was not, the second, but the third time he had her in this situation and Kagome was not about to let it pass unpunished.

"I think we may have problem here," Inuyasha said as soon as he had regained his composure.

"You are damn right," Kagome spat back, flipping the dagger so that its tip mildly touched her arm in an attack stance. "I am going to fix it right away."

"I think we might be soul mates."

"I think either you are loosing it." Kagome retorted. This youkai, this hanyou had managed to attacked her, bite her, tried kissing her in the girl's bath room all within twenty-four hours time, now he was putting weird ideas of soul mates in her head.

*~*~*~*

"That, too, could be a possibility," Inuyasha muttered, more to himself as he watched the taijiya stalk off, followed by a loud crash as the door was slammed shut.

You can run. A slight smile appeared on his face, he licked his lips. But you can't hide.
