Silently, I led Inuyasha into my room. My room was small and luckily, it was far away from my parents so they can't hear much. I let Inuyasha have the bed while I slept on the floor. 'Damn,' I thought. 'Why does the floor have to be so cold and hard?'
Inuyasha stared down at Kagome who was trying to sleep on the cold stone floor. He picked her up easily and lifted her onto the bed.
"Inuyasha…what are you doing?" I whispered as my eyes grew wide.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
I nodded my head slowly.
"Good," he said. "This bed is small but it'll fit both of us."
My eyes grew wider at what Inuyasha had just said. But I had just told him that I trust him. I couldn't take my words back so I had no choice but to sleep with him. We both got in my bed and slept side-by-side. I was so nervous, I couldn't sleep. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had no problem. He fell asleep instantly.
I turned my head over to look at him. His face was so innocent like an angel when he was sleeping. Who would have thought he was such a devil when he's awake and moving? His cute furry dog ears caught my attention. As my hand touched it, his ears twitched ever so slightly. I giggled and pulled my hand back.
An hour had passed and it was 3 in the morning. I still couldn't sleep. Suddenly something weird happen. Inuyasha turned his entire body around and did a 360, kicking me. "Ow!" I cried out but covered my mouth so my parents wouldn't hear me. When he was done, he had this happy look on his face.
At first I thought he was just playing with me but he really did do a 360 in his sleep. Suddenly he reached over and held me tight. My entire body went tense and rigid. I could feel Inuyasha's light breathing on my neck. I don't know why but now that Inuyasha was this close to me(practically laying on top of me), it made me feel better. It's probably because I've never been this close to a person in a long time. Soon I began to fall asleep too…
November 1, 1993
Inuyasha opened his eyes and found himself laying partially on Kagome's body. He blushed and slowly moved away from her. Then he just laid near her watching her sleep. Suddenly it caught his eyes. The sleeves and pant legs of her pajamas were lifted up and he got a good look at her arms and legs. Dark purple bruises cover her entire body. There were several scars on her legs and arms too. Red lines run across her legs and it made Inuyasha wince because it looked so painful.
He didn't want to disturb Kagome but he was really curious. She turned over and Inuyasha lifted the back of her shirt. It was even worse than her legs. Inuyasha opened his mouth lightly in shock and touched her bare back delicately, fearing that he might hurt her. Kagome began to stir.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I saw Inuyasha looking at me with this sad expression on his face. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" I asked.
"Who did this to you?" asked Inuyasha as he lifted the sleeve of my shirt.
I opened my mouth in shock. I tried to hide it but I couldn't believe he saw my bruises. As I tried to answer him, I heard my step dad's footsteps heading towards my room. "Inuyasha!" I yelled, turning back to Inuyasha, who was rubbing my bruises. "You have to get out of here! My dad is coming!" Inuyasha looked at me with surprise, but I opened my window for him to climb out. "Climb down this tree. Goodbye Inuyasha," I said to him with tears in my eyes.
Inuyasha remained silent the whole time as he left her room. But he didn't leave though. He sat on the branch of her tree and looked through her window. Thanks to his dog ears, he heard what they were saying.
I looked up at my stepfather in pain. "I'm sorry dad. I didn't know we're supposed to have guests today."
He saw Kagome's dad bring out a small wooden stick and whack Kagome with it several times. Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. He busted back into Kagome's room.
Akito glared at me with cold hatred in his eyes. "Mr. Takahashi, of the Takahashi Hotel Empire all over Japan, is coming to visit us. I might get a promotion if we make a good impression! You were supposed to be awake half an hour ago to prepare all of us tea! Now Mr. Takahashi is down there expecting tea! What am I supposed to do now huh?"
My step dad began to breathe rapidly as his anger increased. I saw him raise that stick of his again. I curled myself up hoping the pain would lessen but I know it wouldn't so I prepared myself for the strike…
Inuyasha caught the stick just before it would hit Kagome. Kagome's father stared at Inuyasha in surprise. Kagome opened her eyes and stared at Inuyasha in shock. He looked down at her. "Kagome, are you okay?"
"Inuyasha!" I screamed. "What are you doing here?"
Inuyasha looked back at me. "I came to save you from this evil bastard."
My step dad twisted his face in hate. "I knew you were trouble all this time Kagome. How dare you bring this boy home? Wait until I tell your mother about this!"
Inuyasha grabbed my step dad's arm to stop him. "You do that and I'll have you fired!" I stared at Inuyasha dumbfounded. 'What is he talking about?'
"What are you talking about you juvenile delinquent!" snapped my step dad.
"I mean," said Inuyasha glaring at him. "That you're having tea with my father right now and I'll get you and your wife fired if you hit Kagome one more time." I look at Inuyasha surprised. 'Inuyasha is the heir of the Takahashi Hotel Empire? His family is the richest in all of Japan!'
My step dad looked at Inuyasha doubtfully. "If you're his son, then how come you're so filthy?" Inuyasha gave him a smirk. "I know you want proof. How about all of us go down there to talk to my dad?" My step dad looked at him and thought, 'This is the only way for real evidence. He might get us a promotion.' Then he said, "Come on then, boy. Let's go."
