Fire!
Inuyasha woke up before Kagome. He heard a door open and smelt Sesshomaru. He sighed. He got dressed and let Kagome sleep. He walked down stairs and made egg and bacon sandwiches for him and Kagome. Kagome woke up and jumped in the shower. She got dressed in what she wore last night and walked down stares. Inuyasha greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. He handed her a sandwich and they ate in silence. "Well I better get home. Don't worry I have a ride." Kagome said. Inuyasha got up and hugged Kagome. She left the room and went home. Inuyasha laid his head down on the table. Sesshomaru walked upstairs. He glared at Inuyasha. Sesshomaru smelt his brother. "You did mark her didn't you brother?" He asked paying no mind to Inuyasha. "Yeah. She had to go home though. Hey how did you know?" Inuyasha responded. "You smell like her." Inuyasha shook his head and got up. He stretched. I wonder if Kagome and the others want to go to the mall. He asked himself. He walked over to his cell phone and dialed Miroku's number. He asked if he wanted to go to the mall and shop for a while. Miroku agreed and called Sango while Inuyasha called Kagome. Sango and Kagome agreed and Miroku called Koga who said ok.
They got to the mall and went to the food court. Kagome and Inuyasha were first to get there. Followed by Sango and Miroku. They were waiting on Koga. When Koga got there he smiled and walked up to them. He sniffed the air. He looked at Kagome who was talking to Sango. He saw the mark on her neck. He growled. Koga turned to glare at Inuyasha who was talking to Miroku. He walked up to Inuyasha and tapped his shoulder. Inuyasha looked at Koga. "What?" Inuyasha asked. "I need to talk to you." Koga said calmly. Kagome looked over at Koga and Inuyasha. Inuyasha saw Kagome looking and smiled. He got up and followed Koga.
"What did you do to her?" Koga asked in a whisper. Inuyasha looked at him confused. "What did you do to Kagome?" He whispered again. "Oh. I marked her. Do you have a …" Inuyasha said. He was cutoff by Koga's punch in the jaw. Kagome looked over and saw Inuyasha on the floor holding his jaw. He was bleeding. Kagome got up and ran over to him. Kagome bent down beside Inuyasha. "Kagome run. NOW!" Inuyasha whispered to her. Kagome herd him and got up. She ran over to Sango. Koga kicked Inuyasha in the stomach. Kagome saw and couldn't stand it anymore. She ran over to Koga and grabbed his arm starting to pull. "KOGA STOP! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM! WHAT DID INUYASHA DO TO YOU!" Kagome yelled pulling. Koga smelt her and turned around. He grabbed her shoulders. Kagome struggled. Koga pulled her into a forceful kiss. Kagome was trying to get out but he was to strong. Inuyasha looked up and saw. Just then Sesshomaru walked in and grabbed Koga's tail. Koga stopped kissing Kagome and yelped. He turned around and saw Sesshomaru glaring at him. "I suggest leaving my little brothers mate alone." He said calmly. Koga pulled his tail away and winked at Kagome. He ran out the door and to his car.
"Are you all right Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked while helping Inuyasha to his feet. "I think so. But why did you call me his 'mate'?" Kagome asked confused. "The mark he gave you. It means he clamed you as his mate. For the demon law no other demon is supposed to try anything on you. Koga didn't care though." Sesshomaru explained. Kagome ran up to Inuyasha and helped support him. Sango and Miroku looked at them and shrugged. Kagome and Sesshomaru sat Inuyasha down in a chair. "Inuyasha are you all right?" Kagome asked worried. Inuyasha looked up at her and nodded his head. Kagome hugged him. "How about we go to your place for a while. I'd still like to see the rest of your home and family." Inuyasha said starting to get up. "Ok but take it easy." Kagome said walking to his car. Inuyasha smiled and got in. He had a couple broken ribs and a bloody lip. But nothing he couldn't handle.
Kagome looked forward and saw smoke. "Inuyasha where do you think that is coming from?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha drove a little faster. They turned on the street Kagome lived on and saw her house in flames. Kagome screamed. He stopped the car and got out. Kagome jumped out and ran to one of the fire fighters. She tried to run past him and he caught her arm. "Let me go!" she yelled. The fire fighter shook his head. Inuyasha jumped over him and tried to find a way into the house. "Inuyasha no! It's too dangerous!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha saw one of the window's clear of a path and jumped to it. He lifted it open. He was in Sota's room. He looked around for Sota. "Inuyasha is that you?" a week voice said behind him. Inuyasha turned around and saw Sota sitting on the ground looking up at him. "Sota I want you to tell me where your mom is." Inuyasha said firmly. "She was in her room when they shot the flaming arrows in here." Sota said. Inuyasha smelt the air. He got a faint whiff of blood. He looked down at Sota and saw an arrow in his arm. Inuyasha picked Sota up and walked to the door. He opened it and walked across the hall. "Mom's room is the last door on the right." Sota said. Inuyasha nodded and walked over there careful not to touch any of the fire. They got there and Inuyasha opened the door. Mrs. Hagarashi was on the floor crying.
Inuyasha walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up. "I need you to get on my back so I can get you and Sota out of here." Inuyasha said leaning down. Mrs. Hagarashi nodded and got up. She crawled on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha walked out the door and saw the fire coming to them. He ran to the window and tried to open it. It was stuck. He walked over to the bed and grabbed a pillow case. He wrapped it around his arm and punched the window. He set Sota and Mrs. Hagarashi down and stepped out. Sota crawled out after and Inuyasha put him on the ground. Mrs. Hagarashi came next. Inuyasha jumped her down and picked up the two. He didn't go to the front. He ran farther away from the house.
Kagome
Kagome was still trying to get free. The house was getting worse. Kagome started to cry. She looked up at the fire fighter. Kagome bit his arm and he let go. Kagome ran in front of the house. The house suddenly exploded. Kagome's eyes went wide. She dropped to her knees and cried. Inuyasha walked around the front. He saw Kagome. He decided to take Sota and Mrs. Hagarashi to the ambulance. Kagome stuck her face in her hands. Inuyasha walked up behind her and knelt down. He wrapped his arms around her. Kagome stopped crying and looked up at him. He gave her a weak smile. Kagome turned around and pulled him into a hug. "I promise I will never leave you Kagome." Inuyasha said stroking her hair. Kagome shook her head. She started to cry again. A fire fighter came up behind them (Not the one Kagome bit). He tapped on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha helped Kagome up and turned around. "You saved them boy. You're a hero." He said. Inuyasha glared at him and picked Kagome up bridal style. She held on to his neck. "I don't care." Inuyasha said walking to his car. Kagome slid in and so did Inuyasha. "We need to go to the hospital to make sure Sota and your mom is all right." Inuyasha said. "You found them?" Kagome asked hope in her eyes. Inuyasha nodded and drove them to the hospital.
When they got there they found out that Kagome's mom was burnt on her elbow and that Sota would be fine after a few months. "Kagome, I need to make a phone call. I'll be with you in a bit." He bent down and gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked off. Kagome walked into her mother and brother's room. "Kagome!" Sota yelled happily. "Are you two ok?" Kagome asked sitting down. "We will be fine dear. The only problem is we don't have any where to stay." Mrs. Hagarashi said. Inuyasha walked in and had heard the whole thing. "Now I wouldn't say that." He said sitting down next to Kagome. Inuyasha put his arm around her. "What do you mean?" Sota asked. Inuyasha gave a short laugh. "I mean that I called my brother and he said it would be fine if you guys lived with us." Inuyasha said. Kagome looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you so much Inuyasha." Mrs. Hagarashi said. "Oh and what will we owe you?" "Don't worry about that." Inuyasha said smirking at Kagome. He leaned over to Kagome's ear and whispered, "The payment will be coming from you Kagome." Kagome looked up at him and gave a slight giggle. "What's so funny?" Sota asked. "Nothing." Inuyasha and Kagome said.
