Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Ok, here is the much anticipated Chapter 5! (I hope...)lol. And, just out of curiosity, has anyone read my other story, Hanyou? I need two reviewes before I will continue it, cause writing two stories at the same time gets confusing...

Recap:
Kagome's eyes shot open and she smiled. Awwwww, he wants to comfort me! she snuggled closer to him, and then everyone screamed. But it wasn't because of the movie.
Trust
Chapter 5-Bruises
Kagome sat bolt upright wen she heard people running. Letting go of Inuyasha, she looked wildly around for the source of everyone's sudden panic. 'Is the movie that scary?' she wondered to herself. Thats when she looked at the screen.
Or rather, when the screen USED to be, because right now there was a gaping hole in it. And out of that hole came...something.
The something was a person, well, sort of. There was a mans torso, arms and head, but where the legs should have been was...many different things. There were green and purple tenticles, and brownish lobster-like claws, and other weird random limbs. The thing had wavy black hair, red eyes, and, she noticed, was currently heading straight for her.
Kagome was too shocked with the things apperance to even think about moving. Sango and Miroku were tugging on her shirt trying to get her to move, but then Inuyasha yelled at them to go, picked Kagome up, and ran out after them.
The thing was quick and was following Inuyasha easily. It was clear that he didn't want anything, (or anyone for that matter) else. He merely followed the half-demon and girl for a few blocks, before getting bored and cornering them.
Inuyasha was panting heavily and looked stressed. His golden orbs searched every which way, desperatly looking for an escape route. He didn't find one.
"Inuyasha, it is time to finally meet your end. I had been hoping I would be the one to kill you, instead of you getting yourself killed with your stupidity. Alas, seeing as your tired, you will not be able to fight me, and lose horribly, which was what I had hoped. But still, I will not just pass by this marvolous oppourtunity to be rid of you and the girl." The thing grinned evily.
Inuyasha peered at him for a moment before realising who it was. "Naraku!" he exclaimed. "Kill me? Heh, you couldn't kill a flea. I bet a bettle could kill you, after all the damage I inflicted upon you."
Naraku's smile slipped from his face like honey from a spoon. "Why you insolent little...you think you'd have some manners to the person who is about to kill you. It seems you never learn.For your disrespectful tongue, I think I will kill the girl infront of you first, and deal with you after."
One of Naraku's tenticles grabbed Kagome from Inuyasha and hoisted her high into the air. Kagome had finally managed to snap out of it, but instead of screaming like a normal teenager would have done, she stayed quiet. Kagome closed her eyes and seemd to go deep into thought.
Naraku frowned. He wanted the girl to scream and make Inuyasha beg for her safety. It seemd she had other plans. No matter, he would eat her alive so that Inuyasha could watch in horror. He brought the girl down infront of him with the tenticle, and reached for her arm.
But before he could touch her arm, a bright blue light engulfed Kagome. Naraku hissed at the burning sensation he was now feeling on the tenticle that held Kagome, so he let go. Thankfully, Inuyasha had been watching and immediatly ran underneath her and caught Kagome bridal style.
The blue light got brighter, engulfing both Inuyasha and Kagome. Naraku blinked, the light was very bright, and the were gone. He couldn't believe it. A perfect oppourtunity had just slipped right through his grasp. He screamed in frustration before dissapearing himself.
Inuyasha took a moment to compose himself. The last thing he remembered was seeing Naraku infront of him about to kill Kagome, then a bright blue light, and now he had Kagome in his arms bridal style, and he was standing in the middle of Miroku's living room. He realised that the light coming from Kagome must have transported them here.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. She seemed to have fallen asleep or passed out. Probably the latter, from so much stress. Who knew how much energy that power took from her.
Inuyasha quietly left the living room and brought Kagome upstairs to her room. He had just finished laying her down and was about to straighten and leave, when Kagome sat bolt upright, gasping, eyes wide with fear. She didn't think, just wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck and sobbed.
Kagome had been having the dream again. The horrid dream which made her relieve her past at least once a month. She had seen someone with silver hair leaning over her bed, and she latched onto his neck and sobbed. It didn't click immediatly who it was, only that they were of some comfort to her.
Suddenly coming to her senses, she quickly drew back from the hanyou. Inuyasha was looking at her with uncertantity and concern. Kagome mumbled an apology and looked away.
Inuyasha didn't reply, merely stared. As soon as he realised what he was doing, he closed his mouth and turned to go. He left the room and walked down the stairs, but not before he could smell the salty scent of tears coming from her room once again.
Kagome woke up and checked the clock. 2:00 a.m. Groaning, she rolled over and got completely out of bed. She noticed she was still in her skirt form the movies. She somehow managed to get into her bathroom, and looked at the mirror. She gasped.
There were no scars on her legs. Pulling the sleeve of her shirt up, Kagome found no trace of the other burn marks on her shoulder. The only scars that remained were the bright,red thin, lines on the side of her neck.
How did all the scars dissapear? Was it from that blue light? Kagome didn't know where the light had come from, but it was the only explination she could find as to why her scars were gone. Except for the ones on her neck. She traced them with a long slender finger, which was when she noticed that the red was fading, a little.
They were still red, but not as bright and the scars weren't as swollen. Could they be healing? she wondered. No, they hadn't show any signs of getting smaller or duller since she had received them. In fact, they had been as bright as normal until...
"Until I met Inuyasha." she said outloud. This got her thinking. He HAD been protective, and sweet, too. But Kagome had no trust in her after what had happened. She didn't know if she could handle something like this again. But Inuyasha would never hurt her, would he?
Kagome yawned. She decided that she would contemplate this further in the morning. Exiting the bathroom, she climbed into bed and snuggled under the covers. She was completely oblivious to the pair of golden eyes that had been watching her sleeping.
"WAKE UP!" yelled a furious voice from out of nowhere.
"Five more minutes." Kagome said sleepily.
"NO! NOW!" the owner of the furious voice grabbed her ankles and dragged a sleepy Kagome off of the bed.
Kagome was dragged across her room and out into the hall. She rolled over onto her back just as the owner of the furious voice let her go.
"RUG BURN!" Kagome yelled and lifted her shirt up part-way. "SANGO YOU ARE SO DEAD!" she yelled.
"Oh no I'm not! Once you find out what I have to say!" Sango said gleefully.
"Sango, in order to save your life, I would suggest you spit it out." Kagome said darkly, rubbing her eyes.
"Inuyasha likes you! Miroku spillled the beans, Inuyasha told him last night! Tee hee!" Sango said dancing in a circle.
"I thought we already knew this." Kagome told her. Sango stopped dancing.
"Yeah, well, now its official, so there." Sango stuck her tongue out at her friend.
Kagome shook her head. "And why are you so excited about this...wait, your planning something aren't you?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Maybe." Sango said mysteriously.
"Tell me!" Kagome launched herself at her friend who merely took off downstairs. Kagome ran after her, and chased her down the stairs and around the kitchen. Sango suddenly made a sharp turn, and Kagome went silding instead.
Kagome's full weight was thrown into Inuyasha and both of them were sent sliding across the kitchen floor to land in a heap against the wall.
"Ooooohhhhhhh, I don't think my body can take much more abuse." Kagome groaned. Then a muffled voice suddenly sounded from near her stomach.
"OI! Giph ofhh!" (Oi! Get off!)
"Sorry!" Kagome quickly rolled over onto her back and stood up. Inuyasha looked dazed and Kagome could almost picture the birdies flying around his head. Kagome started to giggle, but stopped as soon as a burning pain on her stomach reminded her of rug-and-tile burn.
She immediatly ran over to the fridge and opened the freezer door. Grabbing some ice cubes, she grabbed a nearby cloth, wrapped the ice in it, and pressed it against her stomach.
"Looks like I won't have to order my coffin anytime soon." Sango teased her.
"Don't get your hopes up; you'll be six feet under in no time." Kagome retorted.
Sango just smiled at her friend who was now trying to calm the burning sensation on her stomach, while at the same time trying not to get frost bite. The result was her pressing the cloth that had the ice in it to her stomach for a few moments, then quickly taking it away and examining her stomach for a longer time than she had the cloth there.
Inuyasha eventually got tired of Kagome's attempts to calm down her rug-and-tile burn because it wasn't going to work the way she was doing it. He walked over and took the cloth from her grasp and pushed it against her stomach, holding it there. She gasped and tried to move back, and he firmly put a hand at the small of her back so that she wasn't going anywhere. Kagome eventually kept still until her stomach felt better. She then excused herself to go get dressed.
"I bet I can swing higher than you!" Kagome challanged.
"Yeah right! Your on!" Sango retorted.
The two girls started trying to swing higher than the other while the guys played catch with a football. A few moments passed before...
"I win!" shouted Kagome who was level with the bar.
"No fair! You got a head start!" Sango complained. Kagome answer was to stick her tongue out at her friend and continue pumping her legs.
Inuyasha smiled at the two gilrs and promptley got a football to the head. He was dazed for a moment before becoming livid and picking the ball back up.
"It wasn't my fault! You weren't paying attention!" Miroku defended seeing the angry look on the hanyou's face. His only answer was to get a face full of football himself.
Inuyasha started laughing as Miroku stood back up. Miroku chucked the ball back at him but the hanyou caught it and they resumed their game.
Sango leaped off the swing and landed in a squatting position in the sand 8 feet away from the swings. She smirked and stood up.
"A new record!" she called out to Kagome.
"With my height I bet I can beat you!" Kagome retorted.
"Kagome no! Your too high u--" Sango stared. Too late. Kagome leaped off the swing and went flying through the air, way past Sango.
"INUYASHA!" screamed Sango. Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome flying through the air, a terrified expression on her face realising just how stupid her previous actions were. Inuyasha ran and caught her 3 feet from the ground.
"Baka!" he said to Kagome. She was immediatly furious.
"Care to repeat that?" she asked, fuming. She grabbed Sango by the wrist and dragged her out of the park.
"Women." muttered Inuyasha. The guys then followed the girls, a little way behind.
