Author's Note: I LOVE YOU ALL! THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING AND REVIEWING! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! ::cries tears of joy::
Okay well seems like something happened with the author's note but I believe I have fixed it. So if you haven't read Naïve Little Hojo, you can go back and read it now. Chapter 7, Please Don't Say It, is also up.
Well, here I am, sitting in the car on the way to North Carolina. I was able to convince my mom to let me bring the laptop and now I'm typing this chapter and listening to Lucinda Williams while eating chips. Ahh, the good life. :) . Anyway, I don't know when I'll be able to post this chapter since I can't get connected to the internet but once I get back, if I haven't already, I'll post it.
I took some things out of the beginning here. I'm sure you all know what this story is about by now and that I don't own the characters or songs.
I got all of the lyrics to the songs up till the last chapter. Unless of course, I add more! 20 chapters in all! But I'm not sure if these lyrics are right. Oh well...
Rating: PG-13 for Inu's potty mouth and a small hint of lemon.
Dedication: To Ash, the crazed Inu person (not as crazy as me! BWHAHAHAHAHA!), and to SeXyEyez, thanks for the wonderful pictures! They rock!! HOTCHA!

Last Time...
The song had taught InuYasha a lot. He realized that Kagome truly did love him and that he had her heart in his hands. He had complete control over her. And, he wanted to be near her, always. Either alive or dead, InuYasha swore to himself that he would never leave Kagome's side.

Chapter 8
I'm Invisible To You
As Kagome's friends continued to congratulate Kagome and Hojo on their first slow dance together, Kagome kept searching the crowd for InuYasha. Finally, she spotted him. And he was closer than she had expected. He was standing just behind her. She turned and faced him, staring into those dark eyes of his.
Once the sun came up, they would be the beautiful amber color she loved. And his hair would change back into silver, and those lovable dog-ears would return. She wished she could have brought him as his normal self but InuYasha thought Kagome's idea of the dance being on the night of the new moon was a good idea. He didn't want to be mocked any more than he normally was.
Hojo and Kagome's friends didn't seem to recognize that InuYasha was standing there. They kept chatting away as Kagome and InuYasha continued to stare into each others eyes.
InuYasha reached out slightly, cupping Kagome's cheek in his hand. Kagome leaned slightly to his touch as her mind screamed for her to run. But her heart willed her to stay. It fought against her mind, telling her to drop Hojo and wrap her arms around InuYasha's ribs right now.
Suddenly, she felt arms slipping around her waist, pulling her back against something tough. Turning her head, she saw Hojo behind her, giving InuYasha looks that could kill. And InuYasha was giving Hojo the same look.
"Hello InuYasha," Hojo said coldly. InuYasha didn't answer. Kagome could practically see the veins in his forehead popping. Taking Hojo's arms from her waist she turned and faced him.
"Let's go Hojo. We don't need another fight," Kagome said, breaking her own heart as she pushed Hojo and herself away. She glanced back to see InuYasha staring after her longingly. She gave him the same look before he slipped into the crowd, disappearing from her view.
'Why?' Kagome thought as she sat on the bleachers with Hojo, 'Why does he still have me? Why can't I forget about him? Why does my heart still beat so fast when he's around? Why does my breathing quicken when I'm near him?'
"Well, excuse me Kagome," Hojo said, standing, "I need to go to the men's room. I shall be back." And with that he quickly walked away. Kagome's friends had gone to dance with their own boyfriends. Sitting all alone, Kagome listened to the song as it played, not noticing InuYasha slip behind her.
...What cha doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Who is stealing your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What will make you see that I'm alive...
'Kagome...' InuYasha thought, reaching out to her. He set his hand on her shoulder, and she spun around, facing him. Once again, they began to stare into each others eyes, 'Why are you staying with Hojo? Why don't you run into my arms like I know you want to? And like how I want you to?'
...If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts where unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait I already am...
'I'm invisible to your eyes,' InuYasha thought as he reached out and brushed away a strand of Kagome's hair, 'I want to watch you in your room. I want to make you mine tonight. I want to tell you were I stand. Kagome...'
"Kagome..." InuYasha whispered, running the tips of his fingers down the side of her cheek.
'InuYasha...' Kagome thought as she felt his fingers push away a strand of hair. He then began to run his fingertips down her cheek, sending chills down her spin, 'InuYasha... I can't... you... you love Kikyo... not me... I don't love you. Yet... why am I stuck here? Unable to move from your soft touch?'
"InuYasha..." Kagome murmured softly, trying not to love the feel of his hand on her cheek.
...Saw your face in the crowd
I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life...
"Kagome... Please come back to me," InuYasha whispered to her, still stroking her cheek lightly.
Tears threatened to flow as InuYasha spoke soft words to her. Yet Kagome couldn't bring herself to stop them. They began to flow silently. InuYasha leaned in close, kissing the tears away, but his action only caused more to fall.
"No... please don't..." Kagome murmured, trying to force herself to pull away. But her heart wouldn't let her. InuYasha's lips got dangerously close to her own and Kagome put her hands to his chest, trying to stop herself and push him away. But the feel of his muscular chest caused her heart to over power her mind and she turned her head to his, their mouths colliding.
...If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts where unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait I already am...
...Reach out
But you don't ever see me
Even when I scream out
Baby you don't hear me
I'm nothing without you
Just a shadow passing thru...
...Invisible
Invisible
Invisible
Invisible
Invisible
Invisible...
...If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts where unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait I already am...
InuYasha wrapped his arms are Kagome's waist, pulling her to him. She couldn't get close enough. He felt her arms try to push her away but in the end they gave up and slinked up his chest leaving feather light caresses. They finally slipped around his neck, fingering the material.
The kiss lasted longer than planned. Finally, InuYasha pulled back and Kagome moaned in protest. He took his hand from around her waist and brought it to her cheek again, cupping her face and looking into her brown eyes with a look of pure love.
"Kagome..." he whispered, leaning so close that they're noses touched, "I love only you. I could never love anyone else. You have set me free. I WANT only you."
"InuYasha..." Kagome murmured, a smile slipping on her face as fresh tears of joy began to slip down her cheeks. He smiled back at her before leaning in and licking the tears away with the tip of his tongue. It sent a heated sensation through Kagome as she thought of his tongue licking her body.
"So please," he whispered pulling back, "Stop crying."
Kagome nodded but the tears didn't stop flowing. He smiled at her and she smiled back. InuYasha took his arms from around her waist and was about to ask her if she wanted to go dance with him when suddenly arms wrapped around her waist from the back. Kagome spun around to see Hojo, a look of rage on his face she had never seen before.
"How dare you kiss my Kagome!" Hojo screamed at InuYasha, flicking him off.
"Your Kagome?!"
"My Kagome!" Quick and swiftly Hojo threw a punch at InuYasha. InuYasha, who wasn't expecting Hojo to punch him, wasn't able to dodge and Hojo's fist found a place right at InuYasha's jaw line, sending him crashing into the bleachers.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried as Hojo quickly wrapped a rough rope around her ankles and wrists. Shoving her arms behind her, he rendered Kagome completely helpless.
InuYasha stood slowly and Kagome could see the fire burning in his eyes. She also saw a thin line of blood slipping down from the corner of his mouth and dropping down, only to stain his white shirt.
Seeing Kagome tied up in the way she was, made InuYasha only madder and he narrowed his eyes, resembling something like his brother Sesshomaru's deadly stare.
Hojo smiled at InuYasha before turning to Kagome and pulling her to him. He forced himself onto her mouth and she bit his lip in a attempt to get him away. But to no avail. He kissed her harder, running a hand up and down her stomach, feeling her soft skin through the practically see through silver dress. Kagome could feel a hardness pressing against her thigh and she wilted at the feel of it. Hojo, taking advantage of her, began kissing down her neck, nipping at it here and there. Once he reached the line of her dress, which was very low as it was, he stopped rubbing her stomach and lifted one hand to cup her breast. Using the other one, he pulled the dress line down, revealing Kagome's thin bra. Kagome screamed as he nipped the skin and licked it. The bra revealed the skin just above her nipples, and when Hojo began to push the bra down even farther than it already was, it was all InuYasha could take.
Rushing foreword, InuYasha ripped Hojo away from Kagome, pulling her into his own arms. Hojo stumbled back, smiling.
"Kagome!" Eri, Yuka, and Arisa cried, rushing forward to their friend.
"I never knew you were such a asshole Hojo!" Eri cried once she made sure her friend was fine. Hojo simply smiled at her.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time now," he laughed, taking a step toward Kagome who was wrapped protectively in InuYasha's arms. Kagome screamed and buried her face into InuYasha's chest even more, shaking violently from the whole ordeal.
"Why did you do this to her?!" Yuka screamed, shaking her head, "You were always so nice? Why did you do this?!"
"I always have dreamed of kissing and touching Kagome like that," Hojo said, smiling like it was nothing, "Kagome is destined to be mine. I've been watching her for a long time now. Her curves are delicious. Any smart man could see she would be a feisty one in bed. There was no way I was going to let her run off with this guy." He pointed to InuYasha.
"Is that all you think about?!" InuYasha snapped, disgusted at how this guys mind worked. Hojo merely nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"But why did you force her like this?! Why didn't you just ask her out like a normal guy?! Why did you force yourself on her and rape her?!" Arisa asked, tears in her eyes.
"She wouldn't accept me," Hojo spat, "No, every time I asked her out, she either ran off on me or said no. I was tired of being turned down. I wanted Kagome more than anything. I was willing to do anything to get her. And she will be mine no matter what."
"You bastard! Kagome never liked you!" InuYasha cried, flames in his eyes, "If she said no you should have just given up and gone home! Tail between your legs!"
"Ah but InuYasha," Hojo said happily, "You know how wonderful her curves are yes? You, like me, have probably dreamed of the taste her lips concealed. You've imagined yourself kissing her stomach? Running your hands through her long black hair? Nipping at her skin? Fingering her breasts? Taking her over the edge?" Hojo had a wide smile and his eyes glazed over, happy at the pictures he was bringing to them all.
InuYasha, however, looked disgusted, "I'd never think of such dirty things! Especially with someone as clean and innocent as Kagome!"
InuYasha heard Kagome whisper his name and he quickly glanced down at her. Tears were spilling down her cheeks and she smiled at him before pulling herself closer to him, snuggling into his embrace. Hojo's words had hit her hard and she was glad that InuYasha thought Hojo's pictures were dirty even though she was sure he had pictured them himself at one point.
InuYasha looked back to Hojo. He snarled at him before handing Kagome over to her friends.
"Take care of her," he murmured before turning back to Hojo.
"You bastard. I'll make sure you never touch Kagome again," InuYasha spat, charging forward. InuYasha sent a blow to Hojo's jaw, sending him flying into the gym wall. Hojo slumped over, alive, but without enough strength to stand. InuYasha walked over to Hojo and bent down.
In a sharp whisper, InuYasha spat, "Stay away from Kagome. You're lucky that I'm human now. But if you ever touch MY Kagome again, I'll make sure that I'm a demon and I'll rip your stomach out."
"Kagome are you alright?" InuYasha asked once he had retrieved her from her friends.
"Yes... I think so..." she murmured, burying her head into his chest once again. She was still shaking slightly but not as much as before.
"I don't want to be touched there ever again," she said, looking up at him. InuYasha couldn't help smiling. At his smile, she gave him a confused look.
"Really," he said, kissing away the tears that had leaked out onto her cheek, "And what about me? Am I ever going to kiss that wonderful skin of yours?"
Kagome smiled, "Maybe I shouldn't have you kiss me any more either. How do I know I can trust you?"
InuYasha grinned before swiftly lifting her off her feet, one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back, throwing a kiss to her lips. Once he ended the kiss, he simply replied, "You can never trust a half demon."
Kagome giggled and rested her head on InuYasha's chest, completely forgetting his question.
Kissing her cheek, he forced her to look at him, "You never answered me."
"Hmm?"
"Am I ever going to kiss that wonderful skin of yours?" Kagome smiled up at him before kissing him slowly and leisurely, "Fine then, you are the only one I want to touch me there or anyplace else at all."
"You actually WANT me to touch you there?" InuYasha said smiling, placing soft kisses down her neck. He felt Kagome shiver and he pulled back, afraid he had pushed her too far. It had not been long after the incident with Hojo.
"Keep going..." Kagome whispered, smiling and showing off her neck to him. He smiled before kissing it softly again.
InuYasha's kisses were much softer than Hojo's. Hojo had nipped at her skin with his teeth while InuYasha kissed her skin, every now and then he ran his tongue over a spot where Hojo had bitten her, trying to ease away some of the hurt. Kagome sighed in pure content, happy that she had someone like InuYasha to love.
Once he reached the line of her dress, he set little kisses along it's edge. He then pulled back and placed a long, deep claiming kiss to her lips. Once the kiss finally died, InuYasha pulled Kagome closer to him. She rested her head on his chest and sighed happily, closing her eyes and relishing the feel of him holding her.
He had saved Kagome once again, even though it was from a different kind of monster.
Soon she would be his. And then, forever would she be.

Author's Note: Weee! I finished it! InuYasha and Kagome are together again! Hojo is knocked out in the corner of the gym! Yaaa! Sorry any Hojo likers, but I had to make SOMEONE evil so I decided to pick on him. I couldn't use Kikyo since they're in Kagome's time but...
Anyway poor Kagome! Luckily she had InuYasha to save her from the pervert! And now Kagome's friends have accepted Inuman! They better in my opinion!
Just so you know, this story will remain PG13 all the way so sorry, but no nighttime activates! ;) At least, I haven't planned on there being any... Maybe I should change this to R... hmm... Give me some advice peoples.
Thanks for all of the reviews! MESA 'OVE YOO ALL! :)
Here I am, listening to the InuYasha theme songs and enjoying the breeze. Still in the car. Fun, fun, fun. We've gone about 400 miles. Only 400 more to go. ::sigh::
I hope this chappy is long enough for you peeps.
I got the whole Hojo punch Inu, kiss Kagome, then Inu punch Hojo from my Ranma ½ book. In volume 3, Mikado Sanzenin promises to "steal Akane Tendo's lips" and Ranma won't let him (he's so protective of her. It's so sweet! :) ). Anyway when the guys are in the changing room, Ranma asks Mikado if all he thinks about is kissing and he replies: "Such thoughts are all my head can hold!" That's who I based Hojo off him. In the anime and manga, I think Hojo is a nice guy (naïve, but nice) but hey, why not have him be a pervert in disguise? ;)
Oh and if you peeps haven't read Ranma ½ yet (also by Rumiko Takahashi) you really should. It's very funny and sweet. It's my second favorite series (following InuYasha). You can buy the books from viz and they're published by Action.
Gee golly gosh my author notes sure are long...
Oh and don't forget: No reviews, No chapters! ;)
