Always and Forever

×Chapter 7× Hold onto me

Disclaimer: I blah don't blah own blah Inuyasha blah…

Inuyasha stepped to the side of the dumpster and saw Kagome, her knees pressed up against her body; she wasn't bleeding though, thank goodness. Inuyasha looked at her small, delicate hands they were covered in blood and she was holding a broken glass bottle in her hand as tears leaked out of her eyes.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered, tears still in her eyes and refusing to cease flowing. She stated shaking and she dropped the bottle "what did I do?" she covered her face with her hands.

"Who the hell's blood is this?" Inuyasha asked with concern and worry. He crouched down beside Kagome and looked behind her, he saw a severely injured Hojo, his once white school shirt was now torn in many places and stained dark red. "What the hell did you do?" Inuyasha asked grabbing Kagome's shoulders shaking her a little and staring into her face, it had become so pale and unhealthy looking.

"I… I don't know" cried Kagome, her lips quivering and tears pouring out of her eyes uncontrollably, she was shaking her head from side to side in a desperate attempt to rid her mind of the terrible thing she had just done to Hojo.

"It's okay" comforted Inuyasha as he embraced her. He always liked hugging her, it was like he went to a trouble free place every time he did, but nothing could change what had just happened no matter how many hugs he gave her. One of his hands made its way to her chin, he lifted her head and kissed her ever so lightly, her lips were warm yet wet and emotionless from tears.

Kagome couldn't take it anymore, she and Inuyasha had drifter apart so much that she had almost forgotten what it felt like to be loved by someone. She wrapped her arms around Inuyasha drawing him closer to her; she kissed him back more passionately pressing her lips against his hard, she felt his tongue touch her bottom lip asking for entry. She refused to part her lips and pulled away she didn't want this now. "Can we get out of here, please?" pleaded Kagome wiping her eyes smearing blood on her face.

Inuyasha stood up pulling Kagome up with him; she slowly got onto his back and whispered into his ear "take me home". He looked to the back of the dumpster; Hojo was still lying there, alive and suffering. He picked up the body and dragged closer to the street so someone would see it and ran off towards Kagome's house.

By the time they had reached Kagome's room, she was sound asleep on Inuyasha's back. He slowly lifted her and laid her down on her on her bed.

Kagome yawned, and then slightly stretched her body. Her arms made their way to her face and she started to rub her eyes causing them to become slightly pink. "Inuyasha" she whispered pushing herself into a sitting position.

From the little corner he was sitting, he looked up and answered, "Ya?" he looked at Kagome, and she looked so lonely even though he was right there with her.

Kagome looked deeply into Inuyasha's golden eyes; they reflected the soft rays of light entering the room through the open window. Her lips opened as she was about to say something but no words came out, what could she say? She wanted so many things but so far nothing was going right, she almost killed Hojo, Inuyasha probably thought she was a freak and hated her for what she did. Her eyes started watering at the thought.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, she looked almost pitiful, she looked helpless, and he felt he had let her down as a friend. He stood up and sat behind her on the bed with his knees at her sides. She leaned back on him; Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her small frame.

Kagome couldn't help slightly smiling, she felt so safe, so untouchable. In her mind she violently fought with herself, should she stay in the future and convince Inuyasha to stay with her, or should she go back to feudal Japan and stay there with Inuyasha. If she stayed in her time, people would find out it was her who almost killed or maybe even killed Hojo, but if she left she would miss her family and friends, although, her friends are the ones who got her into the huge mess with Hojo in the first place…some friends they turned out to be. As Kagome thought she drifted off to sleep.

'She's so pretty when she sleeps', thought Inuyasha, Kagome still in his arms. Her pale cheeks were now slightly pink and a slight smile formed on her lips, not a happy, perky smile, just a simple comforting one, Inuyasha couldn't help but smile.

Kagome's eyes slowly opened as the golden, morning light flowed into her room through her open window. She felt a warm spot on the side of her neck and a slight pressure on her side. She shifted onto her back and looked behind her, Inuyasha was still there embracing her, his face was so close to hers she felt him breathing. She shifted again to face Inuyasha and started to rub his ears, she felt touch the side of her thigh, this made her blush and slightly giggle 'aren't you a little happy dog' she whispered as if she were talking to a baby.

Inuyasha opened his amber eyes, to his surprise Kagome was laying face to him rubbing his ears and giggling to herself. He didn't want her to stop because it felt so good, but something felt wrong.

Kagome finally noticed that Inuyasha was awake and blushed even deeper, 'oh shit… how long has he been awake?' she wondered pulling her hands back to her sides biting her bottom lip.

"Did I ask you to stop?" Inuyasha asked a little harshly, but then smiled and pulled Kagome closer to him rubbing his nose on hers.

Just then, Kagome's mom came storming into the room "Kagome… Kagome?" her mother said puzzled after seeing her daughter cuddling the hanyou in her bed. "What did I tell you about the door open policy young lady" her mother said sternly placing her hands on her hips.

"Uuh…" Kagome thought for a while and replied "always keep the door open when a boy is in my room" she mocked, imitating her mother's voice.

"That's right, now get your butt downstairs…" she paused and the look on her face went from partially angry to concern "… I have to show you something". She then turned around and went back down to the main floor.

"I wonder what's up with her" said Kagome sitting up and swinging her legs off the bed, "she seems really pissed".

"Ya, you better go and see what's up, 'cause I already think she doesn't like me today after seeing us" said Inuyasha rubbing Kagome's shoulders and kissing her neck.

An: sorry it took so long for this chapie, school's a pain anyway for those people who got pissed at the author's note… Really sorry, it's off now anyway.
