Chapter 4: Come With Me
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You don't have to listen long," Kagome said nervously. Kagome still couldn't see the boy. Frankly, she wanted to see what he looked like.
"Well, get on with it, girl." He said roughly.
"Can you come into the light where I can see you?" she asked.
Kagome's eyes widened as he stepped forth. He looked about her age with long silver hair. He had amber eyes, and two furry ears the sat on his head.
"Who are you?" Kagome questioned as she stepped back. "And what are you?
"My name is Inuyasha. I am a hanyou." He had an emotionless face on.
She said nothing as she kept her gaze on him.
"What are you staring at?" He scowled at her. "Stupid girl, tell me what you came to say."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare. But it's really you. You're....you're alive." She paused for a moment. "Do you know how many people think you're dead?"
"Is this what you came here to say?"
"No, I came here to warn you," she answered.
"From what?" He narrowed his amber eyes.
"Your home is going to be knocked down in a matter of days. If you stay here any longer, you'll be killed."
"I don't care," he muttered.
"You don't care for your life?!"
He averted his gaze down. "It wouldn't matter if I would live. Once the world sees me, they'll want to kill me." He looked up at her. "I'm not like you or anyone else for that matter."
"Inuyasha, you are not different."
"I'm not? Look at me!" He held up his claws, and had an ashamed face on.
"Inuyasha..."
"Will you stop calling me by my name like you know me? Stupid girl."
She ignored what he said and tried again. "Inuyasha, you can come to my home. My parents wouldn't mind having you stay at our house for a while. We can find your family, and then you can go live with them."
"Fool, they're all dead." He answered coldly.
"That's not true. Your brother is living with the remainder of your family. Wouldn't you like to be reunited with him?" she questioned.
"I don't have time for this," he started to walk away.
"Inuyasha, please. Just give me a chance."
He turned around. "I don't WANT to be reunited with that asshole."
"Well, then we'll find another solution. Just please come home with me. I don't want to hear on the News one day that they found a body when knocking down this house. Not when there was something I could do to prevent it."
"Feh."
"Inuyasha, please," she begged.
"If I come with you," he started slowly. "You cannot tell anyone that I am there in your home."
"I won't," she said quickly. "Just please, let's go." She tugged at his sleeve.
He swatted his arm away from her touch.
Kagome led the way to the door, opened it, and stepped out on the porch. Inuyasha shaded his eyes as he came in contact with the sun's brightness. He blinked a few times.
'It's been so long,' he thought.
"Come on, Inuyasha. This way." She took his hand and led him down the street. This made him blush a little. They made turns when needed, and finally stopped in front of a small home.
Kagome sighed. "This is the place." She took him up to the door, and then inside.
"Mom!" Kagome shouted. "I'm home!"
A face peeked around from behind the kitchen. "Hello, dear." She looked at the boy standing next to her daughter. "AWWWW!" She ran up to Inuyasha, and began to pull his ears. "Are they real?!?!? They're adorable!"
Inuyasha stood there with a frown, and his arms folded across his chest.
"Mom, this is Inuyasha."
Her mother's hand dropped. "What?"
"This is Inuyasha. The one we talked about last night." Kagome said.
"Kagome, can I talk to you in another room?" Her mother asked.
"Uh, sure," she answered.
"Good." She looked at Inuyasha. "Will you excuse us a moment?"
He closed his eyes, and rested his arms across his chest again. "Feh."
Kagome sighed. "Just take it as a yes." Her mother nodded, and took her into another room.
"Kagome, if you think this is some funny joke...."
Kagome cut her off. "I'm not joking, Mom. That's really him. His home was going to be knocked down. I invited him to stay with us for a while."
"Kagome, I don't think...."
"Mom, he has no one left. He needs somewhere to stay."
Her mother shook her head. "So it's really him?"
They both peeked out to see Inuyasha at the television. He pressed the power button, and jumped back as the screen came to life.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled at her daughter. "Alright, he can stay for a little while."
Kagome gave her a huge hug. "Thank you so much!"
"Besides, he's kind of cute." Her mother stated. "You may even end up liking him."
"Mom, don't be silly. You know I have a boyfriend."
"Well, you two aren't official are you? You're just kind of seeing each other."
"Mom...."
"Alright, dear. Whatever makes you happy, you do it." She kissed her daughter's forehead. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to prepare dinner."
Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi walked out to see Inuyasha hiding behind the couch. They both giggled. He noticed them, and sprinted up.
"That box is alive," he said while pointing at the television.
"That," Kagome said. "Is called a television. And it's not alive. It just shows pictures that move." She clicked it off with the remote.
"How'd you do that?" he asked.
"Forget it," she responded. She looked at him and squinched her nose. "First thing's first."
"What?" he asked.
She rubbed her hands together.
"What are you planning to do, wench?"
She shoved him into the bathroom. "You mister, need a shower, and need it badly." She turned on the water. "You can adjust the temperature with these knobs."
"Is your brain broken or something? I wasn't living in the stone age or anything. My home had showers."
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Stop complaining, and get in that shower!" She pointed toward it.
"Not with you looking at me." He stared at her for a moment. "What is your name anyway?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I never told you, did I? My name's Kagome Higurashi."
"Alright wench," he removed his shirt. "Stop gawking and get out of the bathroom."
She turned a light shade of red. "Sorry. I'll go get you some clean clothes. The clothes you have now should be burned."
"Feh," was his response.
