Chapter 10:
The light from the morning sun broke through the window and lit up the hanyou's face, his nose twitched and he unconsciously took a deep breath, inhaling Kagome's scent like he normally did every morning before he woke up. It was 6:15 and everyone in the house was still asleep, and would be for a few more hours. InuYasha's eyes moves as he started to wake up, the light was bothering him and he had already slept in from his usual time he gets up in the Feudal Era. He yawns, revealing is usually hidden fangs, and blinks his eyes trying to focus. He tries to get up but is hindered by a weight on his arm, he looks down at Kagome who is curled up beside him, she shifts, starting to wake up.
Kagome cuddles closer to the warmth beside her, and then she starts to blink her eyes. Once she can see she turns over to watch InuYasha, only to find he is already awake.
InuYasha turns away knowing he has been caught, a blush starts to spread across his face unbeknown to Kagome. "Morning, InuYasha" she smiles, "I didn't know you were already up...but yesterday you did take a pretty long cat nap..."
InuYasha looks up slightly surprised, "uh yea...hey! It wasn't a nap...I'm not a cat...it was a uh...uh...um...."
Kagome grinned broadly, "Whatever InuYasha" in response to her remark he growled. Kagome smirked (a very unkagome like thing to do) and elbowed him in his stomach, just below his ribs. Then she hoped out of the hanyou's arms hit the floor and made a mad dash downstairs.
InuYasha is so surprised that he lets Kagome go, when he finally assess the situation Kagome is already out the door and halfway downstairs. InuYasha jumps up and chases after the human. The only thing is when he finds her in the living room she is rolling on the couch laughing as hard as she can.
Kagome was running down the stairs when she remembered last night and a smile creeps across her face, that didn't last long she was soon giggling and by the time she got to the bottom of the stairs he was laughing so hard she could barely breath, she then stumbled over to the couch as InuYasha jumped down the stairs.
InuYasha just stared at her from the foot of the stairs, confused as to why his companion is laughing with no obvious sign of a cause.
Meanwhile Kagome starts to compose herself as she begins to breathe again. "
"Ha...ha...s-s-sorry InuYasha...I-I-I was just re-remembering last night"
InuYasha stopped and looked at her, for the second time in five minuets he found a blush crawling across his face. Kagome watched the blush on InuYasha's face grow as he recalled the previous night, this sent her into another bought of giggles that just about woke the house up. InuYasha was amazed the old man hadn't come down and started yelling at him, he assumed that "priest" slept hard.
Kagome had stopped laughing by now and was currently watching her companion's expression change, "InuYasha?" she asked curiously.
The hanyou snapped back to the land of the living, "uh huh?"
"You ok?"
"Yea" he said a little too quickly.
Kagome knew something was wrong but she didn't feel like starting an argument, she would get it out of him when and if she needed. Kagome rolled her eyes, typical InuYasha... "Want some breakfast?"
The hanyou was surprised by the change of subject but accepted it gratefully, "uh yea..."
"K, lets go make some pancakes..."
"What are pancakes?" a look of slight confusion passed over his face.
Kagome smiled, "come on, I'll show you"
The pair walked into the empty kitchen, Kagome immediately started to look for "ingredients" and quietly told him what to do and where to put it so as not to wake anyone up...quite yet.
15 minuets later InuYasha and Kagome were waking everyone up with the smell of pancakes and the hanyou could now use just about every major/descent appliance in the kitchen.
A few minuets later a half asleep ten-year-old boy walked into the room, "What smells so good mom?" after a few more blinks of the eyes he realizes his mistake and tries to fix it, "uh I mean neechan"
"Huh, oh its only you Souta, we're making pancakes..."
"Is Inu-no-niichan helping you?"
"Hai, would you like to try some?"
"Hai! I'd love to!"
"Ok, go sit down..."
"Ok" InuYasha turns his attention from the pan to the girl beside him, "uhhh are these done Kagome?"
Kagome turns and looks at them, "Hai, perfect...now put them on the plate and we can start to serve..."
"Alright"
As InuYasha is cooking the rest of the family is awakened, within a half and hour breakfast is eaten and dishes are washed, Kagome is about to leave for tutoring and InuYasha is begging to come, "Kagome why cant I come, she already knows I'm a demon..."
"That has nothing to do with it, I wont be able to concentrate if you're there..."
"But..."
"But nothing...my mom needs help anyway...she will be more than willing to teach you stuff InuYasha, you could have your own version for tutoring from my okasan...k see you later InuYasha."
InuYasha watched Kagome leave and within 10 seconds her okasan was asking him if she could show him some things, he gave in...he had nothing better to do...
Kagome returned a few hours later, she then went and took a shower, forcing her male companion to as well. InuYasha had been helping Kagome's mother while she was gone, she was teaching him how to use the washing machine and dryer for laundry, as well as helping her fix the freezer, it had been giving her a hard time. It turns out the hanyou is not only a quick study he is also very mechanically inclined...he easily found the problem with the freezer, and when she showed him the car he was totally enthralled, she gave him the manual and he sat and scanned over that book until Kagome came home and distracted him.
When Kagome heard what the half demon had done all day she was very surprised to say in the least. "He really helped you out today...and he was studying the manual...what in the world InuYasha?" she looked over at the individual in question.
"What?" he says genuinely sincere.
"Number one you helped out my mom on your own free will, number two you don't study, or...or understand mechanics, I don't even get it...next thing I know your good at math..."she let out a sigh and InuYasha raised an eyebrow at her.
"I don't see the big deal" he responds innocently.
"Arg!!" with that Kagome throws her arms up and stomps up to her room collapsing on top of her bed face down.
After a shared look between Mrs. H and InuYasha the inu-demon bounds up the stairs.
"Kagome?" he asks quietly
Kagome talks into her bed earning her a confused look from person standing the doorway. She looks up from the bed and says, "I just can't get this one algebra configuration." She made a face "and it frustrates me that's all, gomen I snapped at you.
"Maybe I can help?"
"Knock yourself out" she gestures to the open book on the desk.
InuYasha walks over to the desk and studies the lesson for a few minuets then walks over to where Kagome is still lying on the bed. He sits cross legged on the bed, "ok so your trying to get the falling model right? And the formula is h=-16t2 vt s?"(height is equal to 16 time squared plus velocity times time plus initial hight)
This got Kagome's attention, "uh huh"
"Ok if h is the height and t is time and v is velocity and s is initial height then that is the right formula" Kagome nodded
"Alright what you want to find how long it will take the ball to reached the ground if it is dropped from a 320 foot building, so that would make the formula 0=-16t2 t 320"
"Yea..."
"Now you just solve..."
"Ohhh, now I get it if the ball is at the ground than the height is zero...that's what I did wrong...ok, Domo Arigato InuYasha!" with that she jumped on him and gave him a very big hug.
InuYasha blushed but was proud of himself, for not only grasping something that was supposed to be way over his head but he also was able to get Kagome in a good mood again, instead of upsetting her.
The rest of the week continued like this Kagome got up in the morning, went to Ayumi's tutoring and if she needed help she would ask her companion for assistance, and while Kagome was away her mother would help InuYasha become more up to date...it took awhile with some things but he was very quick with others. They both took him out places in public so he could get used to it...she still didn't like shoes so he wore them as little as possible but he was starting to put up with them....
The rest of the week was relatively uneventful until Friday...then the problems started....
"Come on Kagome!!"
"I'm coming InuYasha..." we are returning from a last minuet shopping run and decided to take a shortcut though an ally to get home quick, InuYasha seems on edge.
'Damn, something isn't right...I cant pick out individual scents...except ones I know...the smells here are so strong and abundant, I cant tell if someone is coming...they are all too fresh and common...this isn't safe, damn how did I get talked into this?' "Kagome!"
"I'm coming, man what is with you?"
InuYasha growled, "Damnit, something isn't right, just stay close alright!" he responded more roughly than both expected but at least Kagome walked a little closer.
'I wonder what has him so worked up? What is he afraid of? His senses are probably just overwhelmed...no biggy'
Then InuYasha heard something even over the noise in the street at the end of the alley. "Shit!" he whispered under his breath. He had left his sword in Kagome's room upon her request, he knew it was a bad idea...he always felt kind of edgy without his sword but now her was really wishing he had gone though the "sits" so he had it right now.
Kagome's eyes shifted as she saw a shadow move, "that can't be good" she shifted closer to InuYasha.
InuYasha noticed this and decided he wasn't going to play games, he stopped, got into a defensive position and hid Kagome behind him. Another shadow moved, this triggered InuYasha to growl, Kagome wasn't sure if she was the only who heard it...it was so soft and low...but it was equally as threatening as when his growls are auditable.
"Damnit! Quit hiding you bastards!"
"It's been a long time since I have been threatened...ah Kevin?"
"I'd have to agree...Justin" with that a pair or what looked like gangsters stepped out of the shadows and into the pale light that was running down the alley.
InuYasha growled again, only this time louder, "Bastards, what do you want?"
"What do you think? All your valuables, and the girl wouldn't hurt..." little did they realize by saying that they had sealed their fate.
InuYasha's growl increased, so the two humans were sure to hear, "you're not getting anything..." he managed out though gritted teeth.
Kagome looked up at his face and immediately became worried 'oh my god! His eyes...he's transforming!' "InuYasha!!!"
'...inuyasha....' Kagome's voice was vague yet so close and frantic.... 'No...no, I have to stay...I have to protect Kagome' you will protect her 'no...no...'
"What I didn't catch that..." Justin taunted
"I said you're not getting anything but a good beating, asshole" he repeated looking up, his eyes flashed red for a moment, an outer sign that he was waging a war to keep his demonic side at bay.
Worry was written all over Kagome's face, not for herself but for the silver haired hanyou standing next to her. InuYasha squinted his eyes closed again and when he opened them all reminisce or red had disappeared.
"Give us the stuff!"
"I told you you're not getting anything" InuYasha wasn't waiting any longer, he was tired of their game. He went for the guy, but he was to fast, the guy pulled out a gun and before Kagome finished yelling InuYasha's name the guy pulled the trigger.
Kagome watched in horror as the bullet hit InuYasha Square in the chest at close range.
This was a new sensation for the hanyou, a burning was in his chest and it knocked the wind out of him...not to mention it probably broke a rib or two... InuYasha clutched his chest slowing down a bit, and then when he could breath again he leapt on the "Kevin" guy growling very menacingly.
Once he got to the guy he beat him a bit, then threw him against the wall successfully knocking him out. The guy would be sore with a bunch of bruises and maybe a broken bone to two, but he would live.
But while his buddy was getting beat the living crap out of Justin ran over to seize Kagome, who was so worried about InuYasha that she didn't even notice Justin until it was too late. "InuYa-" Justin wrapped his arm around Kagome's neck, holding her and with the other hand he pulled a gun and put it to her hand.
InuYasha was already chasing Justin when Kagome screamed so he was close, but he stopped dead in his tracks when he had the gun to Kagome's head screaming he would shoot her if he took a step farther.
This was it...his demon blood had won...he couldn't win, it just overtook him, their was nothing he could do...he was pushed away...it was over...
InuYasha raised his gaze to meet Justin's, his eyes blood red, fangs elongated, claws sharper, and the marks that represent his blood, evident on his normally unmarred face.
Justin's eyes widened, "What the fuck?!?!" he also loosened his grip on Kagome.
InuYasha took his chance; he dashed at Kagome, knocking him off her. Once Kagome was safe he went after Justin. Who at the moment was trying to catch his breath from being thrown so hard.
InuYasha struck, hard and fast, his punches were bone shattering, not to mention is claws, they cut and slashed at any part of him they came in contact with...only one thing penetrated his mind...a voice...one voice...Kagome's voice...
"INUYASHA!!!" tears were running down her face, "InuYasha PLEASE!!" she cried and got as close as she dare trying to break though him. She couldn't sit him...he would fall on the guy and that would surly kill him.
'...inu....yasha...' her voice was soft and weak but it was there...and it was all he had to hang onto...and there was no way in hell he was gong to ignore it...he listened harder...she was there...he could hear her more clearly now...
InuYasha was going in for a final hit...one that would go right though his skull killing him instantly...
"INUYASHA PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM!!!!!!" with that line a tear rolled off her face and flew toward InuYasha...
That was all he needed, one the tear hit him he was free, he took control forcing his demonic blood away again. His eyes faded back to their original golden, his fangs shortening, markings vanishing, and his claws...his blood drenched claws mere raking over Justin's flesh..."lucky bastard" were the last words he heard before he was knocked out.
Kagome had tears flooding down her face, her eyes puffy her cheeks red, rivers of water evident over her worried expression. He couldn't take it...he couldn't face her...he fled...
"INUYASHA!!! COME BACK!!! Come "she could scream anymore...she fell on her knees, her face in her hands, crying her eyes out, surrounded by the two men who were cause of...of...of everything!
