Chapter 4- Awakening

When Kagome awoke the next day she quickly put on her concealing spell and changed clothes. She looked out the window and noticed that the rain still hadn't let up.

" Hey Kagome, you want to go see a movie with Sango, Inu Yasha, and me today? If we have four or more we get in free!" Miroku questioned from downstairs and she sighed.

" Why not, sure," she said back quickly making her way downstairs.Inu Yasha and Sango were already downstairs when she came down.

" I thought you had something to do today," Inu Yasha said as they walked outside to the car.

" That's tonight," Kagome said as she got in her own car and followed the others to the movies. They were going to see ' Ghost Ship' ( awsome movie!). They got in free and took four seats in the back so nobody would find them, mostly so Kikyo couldn't find them since she was running around asking where her Inu-baby was.

" Looks like your fanclub is here," Miroku stated as Inu Yasha groaned.

" Kagome will protect me, won't you?" he questioned looking at her as she smiled.

" Now why would I do that?" she questioned as he got the puppy dog eye's, " fine, I'll protect you from them."

" Good," he said as the movie started. In the middle of the movie Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome's hand and she looked at him confused but he only smiled. She sighed and tightened her grib on his hand as she laid her head on his shoulder.

" There you are Inu- baby, I was starting to think I wasn't going to find you," Kikyo said walking up to them as Kagome let go of his hand and stood up.

" She's the only one I'm not going to fight off for you," she stated running out of the movie. She sat on a bench by herself until someone walked up to her.

" You smell of hanyou blood, tell me why," they stated emotionlessly taking a seat next to her. She looked over to see a guy with long silver hair and gold eye's.

" Let me guess, your Inu Yasha's older brother, former Lord of the Westernlands Sesshomaru, your demon, full demon," she explained.

" You do your research, correct, so tell me why you smell like a hanyou," he stated as Kagome looked away.

" Don't tell Inu Yasha, I'm a hanyou, that's why," she said standing up as the others walked out of the movie with Kikyo with them.

" Your Naraku's child," he stated with anger in this voice.

" He abandoned me long ago, if you hold a grudge against him don't take it out on me, I don't even know the guy," she explained as Sango walked up to her.

" Are you ever going to stay when Kikyo comes?" she questioned.

" No," was Kagome's simple answer as they walked to the parking lot.

" Kagome, why were you talking to my brother?" Inu Yasha questioned walking up to her.

" He just walked up to me and started talking no big," she said getting in the car rolling down her window.

" So, what do you have to do tonight always?" he questioned as Kagome turned her ' Michele Branch' CD on.

" Paying my respects to an old friend," she said before driving off towards the store. It was around two and she has along time to drive in order to get to where she wanted to. She bought some red roses as it started to rain again right when she got in her car to drive off. It took around three hours to get to Tokyo. She could tell someone was following her but she ignored it as she pulled into the graveyard getting out of her car. She went into the rain to a gravestone and fell to her knees, " hey, remember me? I would understand if you didn't want to remember me, after what I did and all. Who would want to remember someone like that?" she asked as tears fell from her eye's. She turned to the gravestone reading the engravement. ' Kurama Suichi, beloved by friends and family'. Kagome looked up as she saw a spirit like thing float down from the sky and noticed that it looked like Kurama.

" Kagome, my friend," he sighed wiping away her tears.

" Kurama?" she questioned looking into his emerald eyes.

" Hai, it is me, why did you wish me back?" he questioned wrapping his arms around her neck. She noticed that it wasn't a spirit, it was a person, her friend was back.

" I didn't," she whispered throwing her arms around his middle. He stroked her hair and let her cry into his chest.

" It wasn't your fault," he said causing her to looked up at him.

" What do you mean?" she asked.

" It was Naraku, who killed me trough you," he explained stroking her hair which was now streaming wet, " you used the Shikon No Tama which was in your body to bring me back."

Kagome felt what she did when she was driving but did nothing about it as it stopped raining.

" Your going to get sick Kag," Kurama stated as they stood up.

" I don't care, I wanted to see you, today marks four years," she stated sadly as Kurama showed her to the car.

" Come on, take me to where you live, I will find a place of my own," he said as he heard a growl but ignored it knowing that it was Inu Yasha, a friend from long ago. They got in Kagome's car and she drove towards Kyoto to the place she was staying. Once she made it back to Miroku's she put a spell on them to make them fall asleep instantly as they entered the house and ran upstairs.

" That was close," Kagome said closing her door as Kurama rung out his wet hair in her bathroom.

" Kagome, do you know any good places I could stay at?" he questioned as she walked up to him.

" There is an apartment complex across the street, I believe they have a few rooms left, I have enough money to pay for your stay since it is my fault you are back," she explained.

" I will pay you bad, my dearest friend," he said running a hand though her long wet hair. She smiled at him before pushing him in the bathroom.

" You stink, take a shower, I'll let you borrow some clothes," she said as she heard the water start. She went to Miroku's room, got some clothes and returned to her room to find Kurama standing there with a towel wrapped around his body. A small blush appeared on her cheeks as she handed him the clothes and turned her back for him to dress. When he was done he walked up to her and wrapped him arms around her waist placing his head on her shoulder.

" Four years huh?" he questioned as Kagome looked at the ground.

" Hai," she said.

" Too long," he said kissing her cheek, " come on, let's sleep."

Kagome nodded as they laid down in her bed, he never removed his arms from her as she fell asleep. He laid there watching his best friend sleep in his arms. He remembered when they would do this in the past because of her father and abusing her, he figured that was why she was like a little, well, use to be little sister to him, they were the same age now. He remembered when her mother died and refused to come home from the graveyard without her and he had been there with her to comfort her. Her father was a different stroy completely, he was a sick, bastard of an old man who deserved death. Kagome's mother was murdered by her husband but the cops never figured that out, Kurama knew though, he was a Kitsune demon after all and could smell things like that. Kagome also knew about it but never really believed it. He watched as Kagome dropped her concealing spell in her sleep and started to cry out.

" Shh... everything is alright," he soothed moving one of his hands up to her dog ear. He slowly started to massage it and she stopped screaming. She involintaryly snuggled into Kuramas chest and he laughed alittle as he aloud sleep to consume him as well.

When Kagome woke up the next morning she looked up to see silver hair.

" Youko," she whispered as his ear twitched and he opened his eye's.

" What is it?" he questioned, his voice full of sleep.

" Get up," she whined pushing him playfully as he rolled onto the ground with a 'thump' turning back into his human form.

" Kagome, what is with you and falling out of the bed when you wake up!?" Joe questioned from downstairs as Kagome snickered.

" It's a morning thing!" she yelled back. She stood up and headed for the shower but Kurama grabbed her hand forcing her to turn to face him.

" Maybe I should go, I don't want to get you in trouble on my account," he stated as she walked over to her purse she pulled out a 500 dollar bill and handed it to him.

" You don't have any money so you can pay me back when you have it," she smiled as he hugged her.

" Your the best," he whispered kissing her cheek.

" See you soon Kurama," she said as he gracefully jumped out the window. She sighed and walked to the bathroom. Everything was coming about way too fast for her mind to comprehend. One minute she's the school's most hated person to having friends then her old friend comes back. She stepped into the shower and aloud the hot water to wash over her body as she washed her hair. She twicked an ear on her head and frowned alittle. After the shower she quickly put her concealing spell up and got dressed.

" Kagome, where are you going today?" Miroku questioned walking into her room.

" Maybe the mall, I'm not sure, anywhere but here," she said grabbing her things. She walked downstairs and out the door to come face to face with none other than Inu Yasha.

" Hey Kagome, you want to do something today?" he questioned as she shook her head.

" I can't, I have work," she said heading towards her car but stopped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She quickly turned around and looked into Inu Yasha's violet eye's.

" What about later?" he questioned.

" Can't, my friend is back from America and I need to show him around, I guess I'll see you at school Monday," she said.

" I see how it is. You act like an outcast and then once your friend comes back you throw everybody to the curb, forget we ever met," he stormed about to walked away but Kagome stopped him.

" Maybe I would be more kind to you if you would have started talking to me three years ago, all of a sudden you like me just because I change my look and Sango became my friend, you guys are all the same you know that! Your always thinking with your dick instead of your brain!" she yelled running to her car. She quickly got in and floored it. She was at work in five minutes flat and that's saying alot since it usually took her fifteen minutes to get there.

" Hey Kagome," Yura greeted as she walked in and she nodded in response.

" Good morning to you," she said walking to the back. She forgot that she had to waitress today since a famous cook was coming but once she remembered she got dressed in the black pants and red tank top. She put the apron on and grabbed the notebook as she went to wait on tables. The 5th table she went to she saw what she never wanted to see again in her life! Inu Yasha was swapping spit with Kikyo, the one he claimed to hate. She cleared her throaght but nothing happened so she trid again and failed.

" HEY!" she yelled as everyone turned to her and she flushed in embaressment.

" Fancy meeting you here Higurashi," Kikyo smirked placing her arm around Inu Yasha.

" Yeah yeah, so, can I take your order?" she questioned acting as if nothing had happened.

' I'm soo going to put poison on you food,' Kagome thought as she stomped to the back placing the orders on the table. This was going to be fun.

So... what do ya think??? Is it stupid and should die? X_X?? Or should I keep going?? O_o... Yeah... anyways. Please Read and Reveiw! I'll be waiting!- Tiff
