Chapter 5: Chinese for the soul

Kagome screamed and darted towards InuYasha. He quickly grabbed her in his arms and looked at her face. "What the hell was that for?" he asked puzzled.

Kagome looked past InuYasha's arm and saw a figure swipe across the window. She grabbed a hold of InuYasha's shirt and dug her face into his chest. InuYasha pushed her away. "What is with all the screaming?! The police ARE coming." InuYasha looked straight into Kagome's frightened face.

"Th....there's someone....out there!" Kagome nervously said.

InuYasha looked out where she was looking. "There's no one out there. So please don't worry."

Kagome nodded her head. InuYasha stepped away from Kagome and went to continue his cleaning up. Out of no where a brick came flying throw the porch window. Kagome shrieked and ducked down. InuYasha sped around and used his body to protect Kagome from the airborne glass. The brick slid and hit InuYasha in the foot.

Once everything was clear Kagome and InuYasha got up and brushed off the glass. The brick didn't have any notes or writing on it.

"Are you ok?" InuYasha asked.

"Yeah." Kagome responded a bit spooked.

There came a knock on the door and then a deep voice. "Hello? Breezeville police department!"

InuYasha ran over to the door and let in the officers. They scattered and looked around. The leader of the group stayed with InuYasha and began to ask some questions.

"Are you InuYasha Takashi?" The officer began to ask.

"Yeah."

"So what exactly happened?"

"My friend and I came back to my house from after shopping and going out to lunch and arrived to this."

"Anything missing and/or broke?"

InuYasha began to get annoyed. "No...well....just a few minutes ago a brick came through my window and broke it. No one was hurt."

"Ok," the officer started to write in a notebook. "What we're gonna do is take some fingerprint dustings and bag some clues to find out who this person is who broke in."

InuYasha raised an eyebrow. "Ok..."

The officer nodded and walked over to the other officers. Kagome stayed where she was. InuYasha put his hand on his head and walked over to Kagome. She had a worried look on her face and she sat on the nearby chair. InuYasha stopped for a moment and gazed at Kagome. She had on her new yellow sun dress with blue flowers. He remembered reading that article in the newspaper about the two people in the shipwreck; he couldn't believe that this ordinary looking woman sitting in his family room was actually a very rich and important person.

InuYasha shook his head-erasing his thoughts -and sat next to Kagome. She laid her head on his shoulder and all he could do was heave a huge sigh and watch the policemen do their work.

Kagome set the last pillow in place and tossed herself on the couch. The once disordered family room was now clean as ever. Kagome looked out the window and saw the sun drifting into the horizon.

InuYasha opened the screen door and came in with two bags full of something good smelling. Kagome sniffed the air and resettled herself on the couch.

"I hope you like Chinese because that's what I got." InuYasha said setting down the bags on the countertop and pulling out the contents.

Kagome got up and looked over InuYasha's shoulders and smelled the air some more. "Mmmm....smells delicious, what'd you get?"

InuYasha motioned with his hand. "Please don't look over my shoulder. I got Lo Mien noodles and rice, sweet and sour chicken, bourbon chicken, steamed vegetables, and egg rolls."

"WHAT?! No fortune cookies?" Kagome wailed.

InuYasha picked up two cookies and tossed them into her hands. Kagome hugged the fortune cookies and ran out onto the porch. InuYasha laughed to himself. 'Maybe this girl isn't going to be so annoying after all. What the hell am I thinking?! I have to get her out of here as soon as possible!' InuYasha sighed and carried the cartons and chop sticks out to where Kagome was.

The sun was completely gone and the only thing that was shining in the sky was the stars. Kagome devoured the Lo Mien noodles and egg roll. InuYasha was still working on his Bourbon chicken. He moaned to himself and was becoming bored quickly.

"I see you like foreign food." InuYasha asked trying to start a conversation.

Kagome grabbed the sweet and sour chicken container and began to eat. "Yeah, I guess so. But this stuff is so good! Mmmm....I guess I'm hungry also." Kagome smiled.

InuYasha looked at Kagome's smile. Something inside him began to grow and his emotions for her began to soften. 'NO! I can't be falling for another woman. I don't want to get hurt again. But....but there's something different about Kagome'. InuYasha regained composure and set his box of rice down.

"Tomorrow I have to go into work and you'll have to stay here alone until I come home." InuYasha stated.

"You're going to be gone all day? So what I'm I gonna do? I don't know anyone or even where I'm at." Kagome asked sincerely.

"It's only from 8 am to 6 pm and I'll pick up some food for dinner even. I have books to read, movies to watch, and plenty of other things too that you can do."

Kagome smiled and nodded. InuYasha grinned and picked up most of the food boxes and went inside. Kagome picked up the rest and followed InuYasha inside.
