Chapter 4 Trust

Disclaimer: IdontownInuyasha…There, I said it.
Kagome held Inuyasha's jacket close to her. It wasn't like she was cold; Inuyasha had the heater on so she wasn't cold. She just felt very revealing and in-the-open. It'd been quiet most of the ride and that made Kagome nervous.
"Where's your house?" Kagome asked quietly.
"It's up on Barton." Inuyasha answered calmly, not looking at her.
"That's off campus," Kagome realized. "That's…almost out of town…"
Inuyasha smirked. "When my dad died, he left me it. It's the bigger home. I also got the nicer car and the majority of the inherence." He looked at her softly.
Kagome raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"My brother and I don't really get along because of it. But hey, as long as we're a city apart, we're pretty happy. He hardly talks to me, I hardly talk to him. He's happy."
"So," Kagome concluded. "You two hate each other over what your father wanted? Just because you got the better side of the deal?"
Inuyasha nodded. "And the better half of the inherence. But other then that…yeah. He's actually the one who hates me."
Kagome shook her head in disagreement.
Inuyasha pulled onto Barton Street and drove past a couple large houses. Then he pulled into a rather large house's driveway. Then again, most of the houses on Barton Street were bigger. He turned and looked at Kagome. "We're here."
Kagome watched as Inuyasha got out, went over to her door and opened it, and picked her up.
"I can walk," Kagome informed.
Inuyasha didn't put her down. He didn't acknowledge her. He carried her inside and up the stairs. It was dark and it surprised Kagome that Inuyasha could see. He then opened a door and set Kagome on the bed. In the dark, Inuyasha moved with ease to the dresser and got out some gym shorts and a t-shirt. He tossed it to her and began to leave.
"Wait," Kagome whined.
"I'm just leaving so you can change. It'll help you sleep. I'll be right back after I change."
He did come back. He knocked on the door before entering and saw Kagome sitting on the bed all changed. He had on bed pants with little dogs and dog houses on them. They looked so cute.
At first, Kagome didn't know if she wanted him to sleep with her. Yet, he gave her so much comfort she needed him. She let him climb in. Soon, two arms pulled her into a chest. It was so comforting, Kagome didn't say anything.
"Do you trust me?" Inuyasha asked softly.
Kagome laid there a while soaking the words in. Finally, she shrugged. "I have to."
"No you don't," Came a gentle voice.
"Yes I do." Kagome looked over her shoulder at him. "I have to believe that you won't hurt me. I have to believe that you're not going to try anything."
"If you don't trust me, say so."
Kagome remained quiet. Finally, "What are you going to do?"
"See where you hurt." He replied calmly. "I won't touch you anywhere you don't want me to. I know you were beaten and I want to make sure weren't too bad."
In reality, Inuyasha wanted to touch her. He wanted to feel her. Of course, he wasn't lying. He did want to make sure she was okay. But…he wanted to touch her.
Kagome thought a little more and then nodded. "I trust you." It was mere whisper but Inuyasha heard it clearly.
His hand lifted the back of her shirt and ran over her back gently. Her muscles tightened quickly and she took in a deep breath. They then ventured to her front. His hands gently pushed on her stomach and sides, feeling for anything out of the ordinary. Kagome whined involuntary. Inuyasha noticed the change in her breathing and knew where she was hurt. To her lower stomach, at the edge of the shorts, the hands softly pressed. Inuyasha closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip. It was very painful for her but no eternal damage.
Until then, Kagome hadn't gotten a clear shot of Inuyasha's face. It was too dark to see any expressions. When he got up to get her some pain killers she noticed something original about him. He had ears! He had puppy ears! She couldn't keep her eyes off them and was doing her absolute best to keep her hands off them.
"What are you looking at?" Inuyasha asked
"Doggy ears…" She murmured. "You're hanyou aren't you…"
Inuyasha sighed. "Yeah, just don't tell anyone."
Kagome looked confused.
"They think differently of me…because I'm not human or demon…So," He smiled, "as long as I wear my cap, I'm left alone."
Kagome watched him go and bring back some Advil. It all makes sense now…That's why he could see in the dark.
After taking the medicine, she drifted off into a hurtful dream. She realized that Inuyasha hadn't asked that many questions about is. Should she have been worried about that? He was probably sparing her the grief and was thinking about her emotions. Or maybe…he didn't care.
WOW! Sorry about the long wait. Softball is a pain in my ass right now so I think I'm going to quit. This way I can type this rest of these chapters up. I have like 12 chapters written on paper. I just get home at 6, then have to eat dinner, which my family has already eaten, and do whatever homework that is due the next day. I only do the homework when I am awake too so that gives me about ½ an hour. LOL I'm pathetic. Worst of all, I don't even play because I screwed up my leg. (sigh) I'm screwed. I love softball…It was my last coach that screwed me up. I don't even like to play because of her. Thanks for listening to my pitty pot. Glad someone is listening. (Sigh) Now, I didn't' get very many reviews! You guys threatened my ass if I didn't update with my last chapter so you better review. I'm going to write another story on my free time and maybe update it. It's just about Inuyasha and his family after Naraku is dead. Maybe you'll enjoy that. There might be fluff.
