Chapter 19

Just Leave it up to Me

----------

He had ears on top of his head, he had claws, fangs, and he just looked menacing. InuYasha smirked and leapt on top of Kagome, causing her to let out a blood-curdling scream.

----------

Kagome was almost sure that this was indeed InuYasha but she couldn't understand why he was attacking her! Wasn't she his friend? She fell backwards and InuYasha somehow managed to sit on her stomach. He was heavy but managed to adjust his weight so it didn't hurt much. He cupped his hands on her chin and tilted it up towards him.

InuYasha could smell her fear but fresh meat was just too much to bear. He had to eat something soon. Her hair fell over to one side, exposing the smooth pale skin on her neck. He could almost see a vein pulsing and he bent over so his mouth could reach the newly exposed flesh. He was now lying directly on top of her.

She closed her eyes and grimaced, preparing herself for the pain that was to come. Surprisingly, it didn't. The pain, that is. Carefully, Kagome opened her eyes and saw that InuYasha was now just staring at her. More specifically, he was staring at her eyes. At the moment, anyway. She didn't know what he was staring at earlier, as her eyes were tightly shut due to fear.

When she looked into his eyes, she couldn't describe just what she saw. What was it? Things she thought she saw disappeared as soon as she saw them. Hunger, lust, need, desire, all those things added up to want. He wanted something and she was pretty sure that if she didn't give it to him or find a way to give it to him, she wouldn't be alive much longer.

"I-InuYasha?" Maybe she could try to talk her way out of this. That would only work if he could still understand or comprehend her words and that was highly doubtful. One of the two would be good enough for her.

He arched a brow and for a moment, Kagome thought that she could have mistaken him for Sesshoumaru if he actually looked like that. For once, she actually noticed the resemblance between the two siblings. For that one split second, InuYasha looked like Sesshoumaru; regal, noble, majestic, and proud. But that was just for a second.

"Can you get off of me? Please?" She tried to be polite but it was quite hard when she had to fight the urge to smack him for being so close to her.

Of course, InuYasha was too close to having fresh meat again that he could barely hear her. Although they didn't know it, InuYasha hadn't lost total control yet. It was only when he came in contact with freshly spilled blood that he went berserk. Fresh meat was another story. It just made him hungry and to put it simply, it was like a normal person when they were hungry but had no money so they had to watch other people eating while they couldn't. But in InuYasha's case, it was a bit different. There were two kinds of hunger here.

Something in the back of his mind told him not to attack her again but he paid no heed. He wasn't planning on attacking her like that anyway. Who would eat something as wonderful as this? He wanted to play with it first and then…have some fun.

Without warning, Kagome's lips started quivering and well, there was no stopping what came next. InuYasha took this as an invite and immediately took over her lips with his. Sure, he was hungry but that could wait. He could eat some wandering animal later but this was a one in a lifetime chance.

Kagome's eyes widened in shock. Apparently, she wasn't going to be eaten but she would never in a million years have predicted this. This was just plain weird. She was too astounded by the recent change of events to actually do anything about it. Without knowing, she started to respond to his touch. It was…very weird, to say the least. She prayed that someone would come and rescue her. She didn't want to find out what would happen to her after he was finished with just kissing her.

----------

Hermione's plan was quite simple, actually. Go outside and stop InuYasha from feeding on some innocent creatures. Of course, this wasn't SPEW but it was close and much more dangerous. Then again, if danger didn't attract a girl, what else would?

"Hermione! Slow down! You're going to run over some innocent little first years at this rate!"

"Oh, come off it, Harry. You know you can't stop 'Mione when she's in one of her rages. But while I have the chance to ask, where are we going?"

"You're asking me?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Hey, it's either you or me, mate. I'm not risking my life to ask that thing over there."

They both looked at Hermione rushing madly through the halls, holding onto their arms tightly in case either of them decided to bolt.

"Hold on, watch this," Harry muttered under his breath.

Ron nodded but still ran as fast as he could. Amazing how a girl like Hermione could pull both of them so fast and not tire out yet.

"Ms. Granger!" Harry called out in his best impression of Snape, "20 points for running in the hall!!"

Ron burst out laughing and almost fell over in his attempt to hide it from Hermione. She had stopped, turned around, and was presently glancing around nervously, searching for Snape. Finally, her gaze stopped short when she saw Harry and Ron trying futilely to hide their laughter.

"Honestly, do either of you care what happens to InuYasha or not?" she asked in her most professional voice.

"Of course we do! We just don't understand what the hell this has to do with him!"

"Are you two really that dense?" she asked exasperatedly.

From the look that those two gave her, the answer was painfully obvious.

"I'll put it simply for you idiots to understand, okay? InuYasha is a hanyou!" she hissed.

"Wait, he's what that book was babbling incoherently about?"

Harry snorted. "Nice choice of words, Ron. In other words, InuYasha is a hanyou, he's out hunting right now, and possibly somebody is in danger, right?"

Hermione nodded curtly and Ron said, "Well, I figured it was time for you to play hero once again this year!"

Harry turned to look at Ron and all he could see in his friend's face was a teasing look. Ron wasn't jealous at all! Not like last year, anyway…

"Thanks a million, Ron," commented Harry dryly.

Ron just stayed silent, remembering that Harry's hero complex had caused Sirius's death in the first place. This had caught on to Harry and Hermione as well, making the trio silent as they ran.

"Where are we running to anyway, Hermione?"

"Yea, do you have any idea where you're going?"

"Well, obviously, we're going outside."

"Outside, where exactly?"

"I'll decide that as soon as we get there."

"Hermione!!" yelled two very distressed boys.

----------

'Help…' Kagome thought weakly as she tried to remain calm. Being scared wouldn't help her now and hysterics were definitely out. Her options were limited.

"InuYasha, can you hear me? It's me, Kagome. I'm your friend, remember?" She tried reasoning with him again.

"Kagome…" he said breathily. There was some recognition in his eyes and that sparked some hope from her.

"Please, don't hurt me."

"I never intended to…"

"Eh?"

He took in a big whiff of her scent and exhaled as if her scent was a drug. She didn't care what he did as long as he calmed down and got off of her. With every breath he took, it seemed as if his mind was clearing.

"Kagome…you have to leave…"

Without thinking, she responded with, "That'd be nice, except for the fact that you're sitting on my stomach." Hey, who ever said honesty was the best policy lied.

InuYasha growled and his eyes grew hazy again. Apparently, sarcasm was not appreciated.

"Kagome?" a voice called out.

InuYasha and Kagome froze. Kagome froze out of fear for what InuYasha might do to that person and InuYasha out of curiosity. Both laid still on the ground, not moving a muscle and hardly breathing.

"Kagome, are you out here?"

"Hermione, are you out of your mind?"

"I agree, why in the world would a girl like Kagome be out here in the dark?"

Kagome's face flushed for a second until she realized what she was doing and what InuYasha's reaction was. She gaped openly at him. He was turned on by her embarrassment! He went back to sniffing her neck and his mouth stopped just a few millimeters above the pulsating vein in her neck.

"InuYasha…" Kagome warned. She didn't want to have to hurt him but if he hurt her first…she wouldn't play the helpless damsel in distress anymore. Luckily for her, Harry was closer than either Ron or Hermione and heard her warning.

"Kagome?" asked Harry uncertainly. "Are you really out here?"

"Harry, who are you talking to?"

"I think I heard Kagome…"

"Well, what do you know? Hermione was right!" commented Ron dryly. "That's a first."

"Ssh…"

"What are we listening for?"

"I can't see a thing! It's pitch black!"

"Shush!"

The trio listened closely in the dark and heard a faint noise. It sounded like labored breathing.

"Do you think Kagome's in danger right this moment while we're asking stupid questions?"

"IT'S A POSSIBILITY!! For God's sake, Ron! Use your brain for once!"

"I think I see them!" cried Harry. He hadn't really, he just needed silence and the way those two were arguing, it didn't seem like he'd get what he wanted.

Just then, Hermione really did spot them — or rather, she spotted a glimpse of InuYasha's silvery white hair reflected in the moonlight. She also spotted a body under him.

"Kagome!" she started towards the pair but stopped herself before she got too close. "Are you alright?"

"Don't get any closer…" breathed Kagome. "He's not really himself at the moment…"

"We know all about him being a half demon, Kagome. InuYasha, don't move. We can help you," replied Hermione in what she hoped was a nonchalant voice.

InuYasha turned towards Hermione with a snarl. "Don't ever say you know all about me, human. You have no idea. You have no fucking clue."

His teeth and fangs glistened in the moonlight and startled Hermione for a second. She hadn't expected this.

Ron laughed nervously, trying to lighten the mood as much as he could. "Are there support groups for this kind of thing?"

InuYasha turned on Ron and growled, verging on a howl. He leapt off Kagome with an almost graceful sense. "GET OUT!! NOW!!!"

"InuYasha, stop this." Hermione's voice trembled.

"GET AWAY! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU'RE ALL AFRAID OF ME AND THAT EXCITES ME! YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME, YOU'RE FEEDING MY HUNGER! DON'T YOU GET IT BY NOW?!"

He let out a frustrated howl and leapt off into the forbidden forest, alone. Silence followed and birds suddenly flew out of trees. They looked like they were flying for their lives and maybe, just maybe, they were.

"Kagome, are you alright?"

Kagome had tears in her eyes and looked at them with pain in her eyes. "He's been hiding all this time…"

"He didn't have a choice." Hermione tried to comfort Kagome in vain.

"I guess, at least, we know what his secret is, right?" Kagome asked in an attempt to lighten to mood. Her laughter turned into muffled sobs as she cried for InuYasha.
