Chapter 5
A Cat Scratch
Green eyes watched Kagome as she walked down the empty street. "Yes......" The eyes hissed. The eyes closed and the owner moved away as Kagome stopped and looked around.
Why did I come here?" Kagome wondered as she realized she was at the same empty lot she and Inu-Yasha had been at only hours before. Kagome shook her head and turned around and began to walk back home.
"No..." The voice hissed
"Kagome!" Someone shouted. Kagome stopped again and turned to look into the vacant lot again. Who had called her name? "Kagome?" The voice said again, this time quieter with a questionable tone to their voice. Kagome knew that voice, but why was he...?
"Inu-Yasha? Is that you?" Kagome called. A figure moved out of the shadows and into the dimming sunlight to revel a hanyou dressed in a red outfit. "Inu-Yasha, what are you doing here? You should be resting." Kagome scolded.
"Oh Kagome, my Kagome..." Inu-Yasha said as he ran at Kagome. Kagome froze as Inu-Yasha ran into her, wrapping his arms around her arms and body firmly. "Why do you run?" Inu-Yasha asked.
"In— Inu-Yasha..." Kagome stuttered. A devilish smile spread across Inu- Yasha's lips as his faced changed into that of a cat demon. "What are you...?" Kagome screamed and tried to pull back as the cat bit into her shoulder.
Inu-Yasha's eyes snapped open as he heard a scream. He sat up straighter and perked his ears up, trying to hear the sound again. 'I could have sworn I heard Kagome scream.' Inu-Yasha thought. The hanyou stood up, keeping Tetsusiaga in his hands the whole time. Inu-Yasha looked into Kagome's window to see her light still on and her bed made with no one in the room.
'It's late, where could she be?' Inu-Yasha wondered. He put Tetsusiaga onto his side before he jumped down from the tree limb he'd been sleeping in. Inu-Yasha could smell Kagome's scent all over. "Damn it," Inu-Yasha muttered, he couldn't tell which trail of Kagome's was the right one to follow. "I'll just have to follow the freshest one." Inu-Yasha decided. Inu-Yasha put his nose to the ground and began to walk around to the front of the house.
"Kagome?" Kagome's mom called. Inu-Yasha jumped as he ran into someone's legs. Inu-Yasha lifted his head to see Kagome staring down at him.
"What are you doing on the floor?" Kagome asked her hands on her hips. "You should be resting." Kagome said. Inu-Yasha stood up slowly.
"Where were you?" Inu-Yasha asked. Kagome looked Inu-Yasha over one, a nervous smile on her face.
"I— Just ah... went for a walk." Kagome replied.
"Until 10:30 at night?" Kagome's mom said as she walked up to Inu-Yasha's side. "Hi, Inu-Yasha," Kagome's mom said, still staring at her daughter. "I told you to be home by dark." The woman continued. Kagome sighed, her eyes beginning to droop.
"Yes mom, I know. I sorta got lost in the dark and so I lost track of time, sorry." Kagome said, her hands dropped to her side and she began to breathe shallowly.
"Kagome, are you alright?" Inu-Yasha asked as he picked up on these minor details in the darkness. Kagome turned her face to him.
"Yeah, I must just be tired." Kagome said with a very light, very unlike Kagome, smile. Inu-Yasha pulled back in a state of worry as Kagome's mother spoke with her.
"Go up to bed Kagome, you seem to need a good nights sleep." Kagome's mom concluded. Kagome nodded and began to drag her feet into the house. Inu- Yasha could see how much trouble she was having and walked in after her.
"Are you sure you're alright? Do you need some help?" Inu-Yasha asked. Kagome turned to him with another "non-Kagome" smile on her face.
"I'm fine, but it would be nice of you to help me up to my room..." Kagome muttered, her eyes fluttering. Inu-Yasha caught Kagome as she fell forward into his arms, fast asleep. Inu-Yasha held Kagome for a second, just looking at her sleeping form.
"What happened to you?" Inu-Yasha wondered. He could smell Kagome's blood, but guessed it was from the cut on her forehead and just ignored it. Inu-Yasha lifted Kagome into his arms the rest of the way and carried her into her room, laying her softly onto her bed.
"Inu-Yasha..." Kagome murmured as Inu-Yasha moved his hands from under her. Inu-Yasha stood next to Kagome's bed in case she said more, but she didn't. Inu-Yasha sighed and moved to the window. "Inu-Yasha... stay with me..." Kagome muttered as she turned over in her sleep. Inu-Yasha stopped with one foot out of the window and turned to look at Kagome.
"Do you really mean that or is it just a dream...?" Inu-Yasha asked, thinking that Kagome wouldn't reply.
"It's no dream... Inu-Yasha..." Kagome answered. Inu-Yasha could tell Kagome was still asleep by the way she moved. 'How does she sleep and yet answer my words in perfect sense?' Inu-Yasha wondered.
Inu-Yasha moved back into the window and sat down across from Kagome's bed, using her desk leg for a wall to rest his back on. "Fine then, I'll stay right here." Inu-Yasha said as he watched Kagome some more. "I just hope your mother doesn't take this the wrong way." Inu-Yasha mumbled as he rested his head against the desk leg.
"Yes... just try to sleep me away..." a voice hissed as green eyes looked in through Kagome's window at Inu-Yasha and Kagome. "Just try to sleep me away..."
