Yo! I'm back again, I'm so evil leaving that little cliff hanger. But oh well, here's the next chapter!

Inuyasha moved forward pulling her close to him. "Who?" He said, holding on tighter. Kagome shut her eyes tightly, waiting to feel that harsh burn that always came. But it never did. Her mouth fell open.

Why? Why couldn't she feel it? Was it because of the cold rain? No, that wasn't it. "Kagome answer me." Inuyasha said. "No one." Kagome said quietly.

Inuyasha put his chin on her head and huffed frustratingly. "Your coming with me." Inuyasha sighed. "I'm not letting you go home. Not if you won't tell me who's doing this to you. All I can do is keep you around my house until you do." Inuyasha sighed again. He closed his eyes, putting his forehead to Kagome's. His eyebrows furrowed.

What was he going to tell Sessomeru? "Inuyasha-san?" Kagome said quietly. What was he thinking?

"Alright, come on, your staying with me until I know." Inuyasha grabbed her arm lightly and walked towards the direction of his house.

Inuyasha walked into his house and led Kagome to his room. "You can change in here, I'm supposing that bag had clothes in it?" Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded. "K well I'm gonna go talk to my brother about you staying, I'll be right back."

When he left Kagome locked the door and set her bag on his bed, opening it, she grabbed a long sleeve shirt and a pair on black jeans.

After slipping them on she pulled on some socks and unlocked the door. Placing her wet clothes in the bag.

She was really tired. Maybe she could lay on his bed for a minute or two until he came back. She slowly laid down on his bed and closed her eyes. Kagome must've really been tired because she almost immediately fell asleep.

"Hey Kagome it's cool with my brother—" Inuyasha looked over to see Kagome already asleep. Inuyasha smiled to himself, she looked really cute when she was asleep.

Wait, hold the phones. Where did that come from? Inuyasha shook the thought out of his head.

Turning off the light, he walked over to his computer and decided to surf the net for a while before camping out on the sofa.

Inuyasha yawned, it had been about an hour half. He decided bed time was now. He tuned around to see Kagome fidgeting in her sleep. Her head would turn from side to see and she was grabbing the sheet of dear life.

Her breathing cycle had gone from normal to fast short breaths.

It was a fact, Kagome was having a nightmare. Inuyasha got up and walked over to her side. Sitting down he put his hand on her forehead. Yep, she was burning hot. Feeling his hand on her head, Kagome had calmed down a bit, but not enough.

Inuyasha yawned again. He pulled the blanket over and laid down. He was too sleepy to go downstairs. And besides, maybe her nightmare would go away if he was there.

Unconsciously, Kagome moved her head onto Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha stiffened lightly at the small gesture. She's not even awake, stop blushing… Inuyasha thought as he felt heat rise up on his cheeks.

Inuyasha couldn't believe it, first off, a girl he knew for one day was laying in a bed next to him. And second, that very same girl, was being abused by someone, and she refused to tell him. Wait…was that three things?

Inuyasha huffed and shifted his head over hers. Then he remembered that show he saw on discovery channel. It was about how people are more responsive to questions if their half asleep…or drunk. (Yea, Inuyasha's smart, so live with it.)

"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered quietly in her ear.

"Mmm…what…?" Kagome said, it was coming out as more of a sigh rather than a whisper, but Inuyasha made out the words.

"W—who h—h—hurts you Kagome?" Inuyasha said. That was the hardest sentence he had ever said in his life.

"Muf…fer…" Kagome yawned stretching before pulling Inuyasha closer and burying her head in his shirt.

"Well that got me nowhere…might as well get some sleep." Inuyasha said leaning his head on the pillow and closing his eyes.

The next morning………

Kagome yawned slight and stretched only to be held down by some weight. It was light, but the point was that it was there. Her eyebrows furrowed together as her fingers traced overa big fluffy ear. Relaxing, Kagome supposed it was her cat Panda, sneaking into her room and sleeping on her pillow. Her cat always did that when it got too cold outside.

Rubbing the ears, her supposed cat nuzzled into her neck and she heard a sort of growl. At first she thought it was a dog, but the ears, they could only belong to Panda.

Kagome felt something hot on her neck, was Panda licking her? No, wait, this wasn't Panda, it felt more…intimate.

Kagome's eyes shot open and she looked to see the ear she was rubbing belonged to the one and only Inuyasha. And he…and he…he was licking her!

Kagome slapped her free hand on her mouth to keep herself from screaming. She continued to rub his ear, afraid that if she stopped, he'd wake up, and she'd have to give the hardest explanation of her life.

She slowly tried to free herself but Inuyasha gripped her waist tightly. Although she'd never admit this to a living soul, it felt a little good. Kagome shook her head furiously, never, never would she think that again. All of a sudden she froze.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha moaned yawning. Bloody hell he's waking up! Kagome smacked both her hands and hid her facein them. Inuyasha sat on his elbow and looked down at her. "Kags?" He asked again, this time fully awake.

Inuyasha almost gagged when he smelled his scent all over her neck. What the hell did he do to her in his sleep? And how the hell was he supposed to ask a question like THAT. Maybe he should pretend not to notice?

While Inuyasha was arguing with himself, Kagome just laid there with her hands on her face. After a moment of silence, she separated two fingers and peeked out to see Inuyasha fighting with his thoughts.

Suddenly Inuyasha's alarm sounded, 'Only in Dreams' by Weezer filled through the room. "I—I guess we should get ready for school." Inuyasha said sitting up completely.

Kagome nodded through her hands.

"Come on Kaggie, look at me." Inuyasha sighed moving one of her hands. He regretted doing that with his entire heart. Her eyes filled with tears, and her cheeks wet and red. Even though only one hand was removed from her face. That sight was enough to make him die of guilt. Did he do this?

Inuyasha knelt down on top of Kagome's head and looked her straight in the eye. One of his hands held hers above her head on the pillow. The other still over her face.

"Kagome," Inuyasha started sternly, "what did I do to you?"

There was a small silence in the room, where all you could hear was Inuyasha's radio alarms clock and then, "you didn't mean it—" Kagome had started but Inuyasha interrupted.

"Still." He said. That same stern voice as serious as ever. Kagome looked away, over at Inuyasha's ceiling fan, right past his face. Right past his eyes.

She took her hand and turned it horizontally so it covered both her eyes, and then said, "you licked my neck…I thought you were my cat."

"Kagome why won't you look at me?" Inuyasha sighed with sad eyes.

"B—because every time I do…I can see him…in your eyes," Kagome removed her hand from her face. "You have his eyes Inuyasha."

That was the first time. The first time she had ever said his name without a title. The look she gave him…it was intoxicating. Her light chocolate brown eyes were so innocent. As if her soul had been left behind when she was no older than seven. A sweet little girl in pig tails. A big broad smile planted on her face.

Outside it was raining…the cloudy dark skies and the gloomy morning sun was hidden away from the world. The heavens were crying for her…for…Kagome.
