All three of us came downstairs together. Inuyasha had to help me down because my legs were too weak to support me. Inuyasha helped me sit on the couch and he faced the strange man before me. Mr. Takahashi glared at Inuyasha.

"Hi dad," said Inuyasha.

"Where the hell have you been Inuyasha?" shouted Mr. Takahashi.

My family just watched them yell at each other. Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and said, "Around."

It made Mr. Takahashi really mad but he never hits Inuyasha, so he continued yelling. Inuyasha didn't really listen and after a while he cut his dad off. "Look dad, shut up about it already and we'll talk about it at home."

'Dang,' I thought. 'I could never talk to my parents like that.' Mr. Takahashi shuts up. "Okay son, we'll talk about it at home."

Then Inuyasha gestured his hand at my entire family. "The Higurashis were nice enough to let me stay at their house. You owe them dad." Mr. Takahashi nodded. "Fine. Akito and Kyoko, you two just got a raise."

My step dad got so excited. "Thank you Mr. Takahashi!"

"Come on Inuyasha," said Mr. Takahashi. "Let's go home. And have that talk."

Inuyasha brushed his dad's hand off his shoulder. "Later dad. I'll be home in an hour." His father glared at him. Inuyasha glared back. "I said one hour."

Mr. Takahashi knew Inuyasha was stubborn. So he agreed. "Fine then. One hour."

After Mr. Takahashi left, Inuyasha talked to my parents. "Listen here," he said as he sat down next to me. "I can get you hired and fired just like that." And he snapped his fingers.

"We know, we know," said my step dad nicely, pouring Inuyasha some tea.

Inuyasha didn't drink it. "All I want is for you two to not touch Kagome anymore. If I see another bruise on her, you know the consequences. Inuyasha held my hand the entire time he spoke with my parents. I felt a strange warmth going through me and I knew that right then and there that I was falling in love with Inuyasha Takahashi.

My mom remained quiet while my stepfather talked. "Of course Inuyasha."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Okay and I'll make sure you keep your promise." Then Inuyasha turned to face me. "Come on, let's go."

"What?" I asked confused.

"Go to my house with me."

"Go go!" said my step dad pushing me towards Inuyasha. "Have fun kids and stay out as long as you like." I knew my step dad was really ticked off but he was playing it off pretty well.

Inuyasha continued holding my hand and never once did he let it go. The walk to his house took us 15 minutes and I was enjoying every minute of it. When we reached his house, Inuyasha let out a sigh.

"Kagome," he said softly. "Just stay quiet and let me do the talking okay?" I nodded my head and we entered his house. His house was huge! I felt as though I'm a peasant walking through a castle. He even had a few maids and butlers who attended us. Inuyasha led me to his room. It was nice and clean but there were a lot of holes all around his walls. I sat down on his bed as he went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he was done, he came out and sat next to me, holding my hand. I really am in love.

"Inuyasha, how come your walls have a lot of holes?"

He shrugged his shoulders and I massaged it for him. As he relaxed, he answered me. "Oh, it's cause I fight with my parents a lot so I take it out on the walls." Judging by the holes, I can tell that he was really angry every time he made one. "Come on," he said. He lifted me up on his back and gave me a piggyback ride downstairs. He smelled so good now that he's clean and fresh.

His dad was waiting for him in the den. I waited outside while Inuyasha went inside to face his dad. Inuyasha went in, uninterested in what his dad had to say. "What is it dad?"

"Inuyasha, son…this is getting to be very tiring. Every few weeks you would run away, leaving me and your mother worrying about you."

Inuyasha smirked. "Sure you're worried. That's why you're out with those whores and mom's out with those morons. It's because I'm your only son. You're just scared that when grandpa passes away he won't put our family on the will."

His father got angry. "Well do you want it to end up on your uncle's side?" Inuyasha gave his dad a look that showed he didn't care. His dad continued talking. "Since I managed to have a son and my brother doesn't have any kids, I have the advantage. Son, listen to me. You know you're my heir. All my wealth will pass down to you."

Inuyasha looked at his dad disgusted. "All you care about is money! You don't care about me!" he yelled as he stormed out of the den. Inuyasha slammed the door open and grabbed my hand. "Come on, let's go."
