Disclaimer: WAAAAAAHHHHHH! Why can't I own Inuyasha? It's not fair! WAHH!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Inuyasha walked into the kitchen and poured himself some coffee. He sat down and stared at it.
'Why does she have to be like this?'
'Who knows?'
'It's all your fault! You told me to show her my feelings!'
'Well, at least now she knows how you feel.'
'And now I know that she doesn't feel the same way'
'How do you know?'
'She made it perfectly clear this morning.'
'Then how about last night?'
Inuyasha paused
'I-I don't know. Why does she have to make things so confusing?'
'She's a girl, it's her job'
CRASH!
Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome standing at the counter. There was broken glass scattered at her feet. He got to his feet and they both began to pick the pieces up. When the glass was all up off the floor they both stood and then found themselves face to face just inches apart.
'Oh my god! I can feel my heart pounding!' Kagome thought
Inuyasha looked at her face and realized that tears were running down her cheeks. He reached out and wiped the tears off one side. Kagome stiffened beneath his touch when he began to caress her cheek.
After a second Kagome turned away from him. She quickly grabbed another cup, poured herself some coffee and left Inuyasha standing there as she headed to the living room
She sat down on the floor in front of the fireplace where a blazing fire roared. She was quickly lost in her thought staring in to the dancing flames.
VVVV
Inuyasha wailed into the living room hesitantly. He saw Kagome sitting by the fire. He also saw that she was shivering. He grabbed the blanket that he had been using off the couch and gently placed it over her shoulders. When he began to move away Kagome's hand snapped up. Inuyasha glanced down at her mainly at her hand resting on her shoulder on his own.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said uncertainly.
Kagome didn't answer. He looked at her face and into her eyes. They were focused on the flames, maybe even beyond them.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said again, "Are you alright?"
"The fire." Kagome said her eyes never leaving the fireplace. "The fire took everything away. The fire swallowed everything in its path. It stole from me all that I loved."
Kagome blinked and collapsed onto the floor.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled lifting up her head a little.
He sighed and picked her up easily in his arms and walked back to where he knew her bedroom was.
Inuyasha laid her on her bed slowly and gently.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said trying to wake her up
Kagome stirred and flung her hand out in the direction of the noise to turn off the stupid alarm clock only to find that the clock had hair and furry ears. Her eyes flew open and she blinked when she saw Inuyasha lying on the ground.
"Why are you on the floor?" she asked
"Because some wench just slapped me and pushed me over" Inuyasha growled.
"Really? Who?" Kagome asked sitting up and looking around
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "I'm talking about you."
"Did I do that?" Kagome asked
"Uh, yeah" Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"Sorry." Kagome said looking away from him. Inuyasha could tell something was wrong. Her eyes revealed the pain she was in.
"What's wrong?" He asked
"Do you want to know what I was talking about when we were in the living room?" She asked him
Inuyasha nodded, "Only if you want to tell me."
"It was a long time ago, when I was sixteen."
Inuyasha sat down quietly beside her silently to listen to her story.
"That day was the first day of snow. Daddy went into town. He said that he would back in time. Then the snow came faster. Sirius went to find him. He rode out on Dai. He wasn't back after an hour. So I snuck out on Stormy."
Flashback
Kagome walked quietly into a pen. Stormy let out a friendly roar.
"Shhhh...." Kagome said leading the dragon out. She opened the stable door just as the door leading into the house swung open. Kagome glanced back as Stormy lowered herself. She saw one of the boys whose father owned some of the dragons living there.
"Kagome?" Houjo called to her as she leapt onto the back of the dragon. "Kagome!"
She ignored his calls and flew off into the snow.
"Come on Stormy!" Kagome called. "We have to find Daddy and Sirius!"
They continued on and the storm got worse. After a while the dragon let out a roar and Kagome looked around.
"I smell it too." Kagome said scanning the ground below, "It smells like fire."
Stormy let out another roar and turned in another direction.
"There!" Kagome called spotting the pillar of smoke.
They dived down and landed near a large with a small, but growing fire. Dai was standing nearby.
"Sirius? Dad?" Kagome called jumping off Stormy and running over to the truck. She reached to open the driver's door when a loud pounding came from the back. She turned and walked to the back doors. She slowly reached her hand out and slowly opened it.
"Daddy?" She called into the darkness. She took a timid step inside. "Daddy?" She said again this time a little louder them a whisper. She walked in further.
The sound of something scurrying across the floor echoed throughout the truck. She took a step backwards in fright and then froze. Something was wrapped around her ankle. She looked down, but all she saw was black. Kagome slowly got to her knees. Her hand went to her ankle. She could feel it! What ever it was that grabbed her. It was small and scaly moving her hand towards the where the something holding her led too. It had claws and she realized that what was holding her as a tail. It dawned on her. She scooped it up into her arms and ran out of the truck.
She gasped when she saw the pink and blue dragon in her arms. Around its neck was a red ribbon with a tag. She looked at the tag and read – 'To Kagome Happy Birthday Love Dad' –
Kagome ran towards the front door of the truck.
"Sirius!" Kagome called to him spotting him standing by the door with stormy.
"Kagome!" Sirius called back, "Get away!"
"What?"
"Go over to Dai." He said
Kagome hesitated but turned and walked over to where Dai stood. Just as she reached him there was a loud sound and an unknown force pushed her forward into the snow. Panicking she turned onto her back and sat up. Her eyes went wide and she was lost for words when she saw the sight laid before her,
The truck was hidden by flames along with Sirius and Stormy. She heard Stormy let out a pained roar, but it soon died away.
Kagome sat in the snow clutching the baby dragon in shock.
"Daddy?" She called, "Sirius?" Nothing answered her
Dai came over to her and rested his massive head gently on her shoulder. Kagome turned and cried into his neck. Even the baby dragon let out cries of pain.
End of Flashback
"I saw then die." She said looking down. "I was right there when the two people I loved the most died."
"It's okay." Inuyasha said wrapping his arm around her and holding her in a tight embrace.
Kagome was stiff at first, but after a moment she accepted the movement and buried her face into his shirt and cried. She clung to his shirt and cried her eyes out. They sat there like that for a while until Kagome had clamed down (A/N so for about an hour or so)
"Sorry." Kagome said pulling away from him
"For what?"
"For getting your shirt all wet." Kagome said with a small smile
Inuyasha looked at his shirt and saw that the entire front was soaked. Inuyasha looked back up at her shacked.
"You cried that much?!" He asked
"I said I was sorry." Kagome replied defensively
"It's all right." Inuyasha said. He looked around "Shouldn't you be with the dragons?"
"What time is it?" Kagome asked leaping to her feet.
"About 10:00" Inuyasha replied
"In the morning?"
"No. At night." Kagome relaxed for a second ...then..."You baka! Why did you scare me like that?"
"Sorry! I couldn't help it." Inuyasha said, "Besides I needed to lighten the mood."
"Whatever." Kagome huffed walking out of the room.
Inuyasha followed her silently. She stopped in front of a closed door that Inuyasha had never entered. She opened the door and went inside with Inuyasha at her heels.
He looked around. They were in a bedroom. It was pretty simple with a Queen sized bed with blue sheets, a desk and chair, and a closet. There was a large window covered with a curtain that took up the entire wall opposite them.
"Who's room is this?" Inuyasha asked.
"It used to be my fathers." Kagome said, "Now it's yours."
"Why are you giving me this room?" Inuyasha asked shocked.
"All the other rooms are used for storage and I would rather you not spend six months sleeping in the living room." Kagome said simply
"Six months?" Inuyasha asked once again shocked
Kagome gave him a strange look, "Yeah. That's how long winter is here. Didn't you know that?"
"No."
Kagome laughed, "You come here not even knowing how long winter is. I hope you weren't planning on leaving soon. It will be snowing like this for six whole months."
"When I get home I am going to kill Sesshomaru. I can't believe he sent me here with out even telling me that the winters were that long."
Kagome smiled and walked over to the window. "Who's Sesshomaru?" She asked pulling open the curtains.
"My half-brother." Inuyasha said, "He's lord of the western lands on Kila." Inuyasha said waling over to where she stood looking out the window. It looked right into the training dome.
"This was my favorite room when I was young. That's why I didn't cover it with junk. I've always loved the view."
"It's really nice." Inuyasha said.
"We'll we have better get some sleep." Kagome said turning and heading to the door. "There are some clothes in the closet. They should fit you; fell free to wear whatever you want."
Inuyasha nodded and Kagome left.
