The Miko could fell herself waking up. First her brain was awake in a way, but her body was unable to move. She fought furiously trying to move or speak. Finally a faint voice echoed throughout the room. "Where…Inuyasha…" There was no answer. After another few minutes of struggling, her eyes opened.

She peered around. No one was in the room. A gasp escaped her as a pain erupted throughout her and centered in a pounding at her head. Someone came rushing into the room. Woman, short hair…mother?' She moaned again and felt a hand touch her cheek, followed by a soft soothing voice.

"Kagome, you'll be alright, how do you feel?" She stared anxiously at her daughter who was slowly slipping back to sleep. "Tell me later, dear…"

The hanyou watched enraged as the wolf youkai stormed toward the Taiyoukai's mansion. 'I'll get him for this…he'll wish he was never born…' With a sigh full of distress he began at a quick pace to his home.

He didn't bother with the elevator, only jumped up the fire escape. The room wasn't as he'dleft it. Glass smashed on the floor from before. Imprints from shoes of his and her feet on the thick carpet. He opened a door and changed before leaving for the hospital.

Kouga growled as he entered the mansion through a doorway. The doors that used to stand there, lay in splinters. He looked around into the darkness. A smell invaded his senses. It was a Taiyoukai's scent. Inuyasha is a lord?' He shook it away.

"Come out here coward and face a real man!"

"A young wolf? Interesting…" came a voice followed by a silver haired man walking into the sunlight. The demon lord's cold stare digging into Kouga's eyes.

"What have you done to my woman, Kagome?"

"That half breed's wench is of no concern to me…" he paused before continuing, "she is where she belongs."

"Damn you dog breath."

He sent a fist flying in the emotionless Youkai's face. 'I know I hit him…why didn't I feel it make contact…' He heard a small chuckle from the corner of the room, as he was scent thrashing outside the mansion.

"You'd do well not to insult this Sesshomaru again."

LATER

Kagome stared idly at her food and then to the pageant on the TV hoisted to the wall. "You need to eat." Said the hanyou beside her. For two weeks he'd been beside her doing things that were for her own good. Bored, bored, bored."

"I'm not hungry…I fell 100 percent better, I don't see why they make me stay here." She smiled at him. "Thanks for helping me though."

"Keh…" he changed the conversation, "is there anything else on beside Miss Universe?" The Miko giggled and through the controller to him. He began flipping idly through the channels. With a sigh he turned off the TV. "Nothing on…"

A doctor walked into the room. "Miss Kagome!" he smiled then frowned when he saw Inuyasha. Kagome put a false smile on her face. When she had been dating Hojou, Making his father her doctor seemed a good idea. "if your check up passes you can go home tomorrow."

"That's great!" the doctor stood beside Kagome. They both stared at Inuyasha.

"What…oh…I'm going." He got up and left with a small growl.

Once outside the closed door he slumped in a chair. "Two weeks! I'd been out of there in three days…weak humans…' He snorted and his thoughts softened, she can take all the time she needs though…'

The door clicked and the doctor walked out and went shuffling down the hall. Inuyasha turned to walk in the doorway and stopped bumping into Kagome's small figure. His amber eyes met her blue ones. He could feel her breath on his face. The Miko only smiled. "I can go home tomorrow!"

"Let's go down to the eating area, I'm starved." He nodded and grabbed her hand lightly going at a medium pace down the hallway.

"Didn't you just eat?"

"I'm still hungry!"

She pushed her food away sticking a tongue out. "I miss WacDonalds!" He pushed it back to her.

"This meal cost a lot and I expect you to eat it."

"That reminds me, Inuyasha. I was thinking during those long days in the hospital bed and was wondering how you afforded all that stuff."

"Tax return."

She shook her head. "No one gets that much."

He thought for a moment. 'Why not tell her I'm swimming in riches?' He mentally smacked himself. Because, last time I thought Kikyou loved me when she really wanted that money…what the heck. I need to find out how she really feels about me.'

"I inherited a lot of money when my parents died. I have enough to support me, and my descendents all the way down to my grandchildren's grandchildren." Kagome blinked a few times trying to believe what she'd heard.

'Why would a man so rich be interested in a middle class girl like me? He could have any famous person he wanted! What if…he likes the way I want and doesn't care what I'm really like?' "Inuyasha?"

"Hai?"

"Why me? Why choose me out of every girl you could have?"

'Why? Why do I like her? Its just something about her…I don't know…I just do!' "Well, because…I don't know. I just do."

"That's it? I was right, you don't really care about me." The Miko stood up in a huff and stormed out into a hallway. The hanyou looked around and gritted his teeth. Always so damn complicated!'

He followed her out of the café area not taking notice of the eyes following him. "Kagome?" He followed her scent into a bathroom. Got her!' He ran inside letting the swinging door slam behind him. "Kagome…" She was sitting on one of chairs, her elbows on her lap and her head in her hands.

He sat down next to her. He whispered her name and wrapped his arms around her. She didn't resist or give in. She just sat there still in his arms. Sighing he turned her head to look at him taking to gazing into her endless blue pools and breathing in her alluring scent.

"Inuyasha…why do this to me? I thought you really cared?"

"Who told you I didn't?" He brought his lips down on hers. The tears that had been at the brim of her eyes before disappeared as she kissed him back. The two lovers pulled apart suddenly as a shrill scream came form behind them. It was tall blonde woman.

"THIS IS GIRL'S ROOM!"

Inuyasha mumbled a curse at the woman before walking out, a light blush tainting his cheeks. He left a beat read miko behind him. She muttered a sorry under her breath to the blonde and left the restroom. She bumped into Inuyasha in the hall.

"I never thought my little Kagome would be having public make out sessions." He smirked.

"IT WAS JUST A KISS! Besides, you are the one coming into a women's bathroom!" She yelled sparks flying form her fiery glare.

"Keh…"

Next Morning

"Come on!" he called to her looking at his Rolex. "I told your mom 7:00 and its already 8:00!"

She stuffed the last of her gifts and get well cards into her case and squeezed it shut. The miko grabbed its handle and began lugging it toward the hospital exit. With a grumble he walked over and heaved it up. Kagome muttered a "thanks," and climbed in the convertible while he shoved her things in the trunk before setting down at the wheel.

She rested her elbow on the door and let the wind whip her hair into her face without a care. Usually she would beg for the car's roof to be put on because of the windburn or complain about the hanyou's reckless driving, but this time she just sat quietly enjoying her freedom.

They pulled up outside the Higurashi shrine and lugged Kagome's things to her room. "Bye Inuyasha, and thanks again."

"Keh…" he kissed her cheek and climbed into his car.

"Ciao Kags," he said before driving off.

Souta looked at his sister and then the retreating car. Why is she with this guy now and not Hojou.' He shrugged and smiled. I like that silver boy better anyway.'

"SOUTA!" he was dragged from his thoughts and turned to look at his infuriated sister. "For the last time, come and eat breakfast!"

"I'm coming…geez bite my head off why don't ya."
