Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 3

Kagome stood in the frigid air of the theatre and felt a pang of sadness. The last time she had gone to the movies was with her friends, they had all gone to see the latest chick flick, and had gone to McDonalds afterwards. Kagome sighed and walked over to Inuyasha who was in line to get some snacks.

"Do you want anything?" he asked, pointing towards the food.

Kagome mouth practically watered at the thought of food, but she shook her head no in answer. Inuyasha just shrugged and got himself some popcorn and a large Pepsi. They walked into the room that was showing The Brothers Grimm and sat down in the far back.

They both settled into their seats and waited for the movie to start. It started off with a bang, scaring Kagome and causing her to place a death grip on Inuyasha's hand. Inuyasha just laughed and watched the movie, starting to actually enjoy himself.

About halfway through the movie Kagome turned to Inuyasha and groaned, tugging at his sleeve to get his attention while clutching her stomach.

"Hmm? What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, glancing at her. He almost gasped at what he saw. She was slowly starting to fade away, looking less and less solid. Suddenly her hand wasn't there, and she disappeared from her hand upwards.

"I don't feel so good Inuyasha..." He heard her whisper, and then she was gone.

---

Kagome felt so much pain. Her head hurt, her stomach, but mostly her chest. It was almost impossible to bear. She cried out in pain and felt a hand on her shoulder, causing even more pain. She whimpered, trying to let the person know that she was hurting.

"Kagome?" She heard a woman whisper, the voice so familiar.

Then it was all gone. She felt nothing, and she was once again floating, and only blackness surrounded her. Her eyes widened with fright as a memory flashed to her, sending shivers up her spine.

A man running towards her.

Knife held high above her.

Unbearable pain in her chest.

Flash of blood.

Pure black eyes.

Tears leaked down her cheeks as pain flooded all of her senses. 'What's happening to me?' she thought as she drifted into a painless black oblivion.

---

Inuyasha ran out of the movie theatre and straight back to his apartment, hoping that she would be there. He reached his apartment out of breath, but within 5 minutes. He pulled out his keys and realized that his hands were shaking, which sent a jolt threw his system. 'Since when do I care that much about her?' he wondered, then shook his head. 'This is not the time to think about that!'

He entered his apartment and ran into each room, calling her name. When his search turned out to be fruitless he collapsed on the couch. This wasn't like before, she hadn't planned on leaving. Something was wrong, and he couldn't do a single thing to help, again. His life was full of moments like this, times where he was helpless and weak. He hated it, he needed to help her.

'Could it have something to do with her death?' he wondered, 'I know there's something important I'm forgetting but what is it?'

He just sighed and shook his head, admitting that he could do nothing to help her. He lay down on the couch and turned on the TV, trying to take his mind off of her.

---

Kagome woke with a start, causing her to fall out of the tall tree she had been sitting in. She started to fall down towards the ground, her long hair catching on branches as she passed and her dress was torn to almost shreds. She landed with a thud, pain vibrating through her.

She groaned and sat up, holding her side with one hand and her head with the other. "What the hell?" She asked out loud, looking around. She had been sitting in the God Tree, her favorite tree in her yard, when she fell. 'What am I doing here?' She thought, carefully standing up.

She reached a hand up and steadied herself on the tree, and instantly felt better. With the receding of the pain came the intrusion of the memory that had surfaced. A small sob escaped her lips, fear slowly filling her heart. She couldn't remember who had killed her or even why she had died, only that it was in her own home, and that she had been stabbed.

Kagome wondered aimlessly around her old home for a while lost in thought. Then it hit her, she had left Inuyasha alone at the movies. 'He must be worried sick!' She thought, and with only a wish she was beside him in his apartment.

Kagome smiled slightly at the half-demon in front of her. He was asleep on the couch, his hair spread around him in a mess, and his cloths were wrinkled from sleeping in them.

Kagome sneaked into his room and pulled the comforter off the bed, then dragged it into the living room. She placed it over him, tucked him in, and kissed his forehead. Then she settled in next to him, quickly falling asleep as well.

---

Inuyasha woke up warm, which surprised him. He had fallen asleep on his couch without a blanket, and now suddenly he had one on him. He shot up, looking around wildly, "Kagome? Are you here?" he yelled, trying to locate her.

He felt a warm touch on his shoulder and sighed in relief. "What the hell happened?" he asked in the direction he thought she was.

He heard a whisper and focused on it, "I don't know, I just felt awful, and then I had a flashback of my death. I don't know who, or why, but I know where. He killed me in my own house Inuyasha, why would he do that?" she answered, sadness creeping into her voice.

"I don't know, but I know you'll remember some day, and maybe then you'll get your answers." Inuyasha said, trying to comfort her. He still couldn't see her and he didn't understand why not. "Kagome, why can't I see you?" he asked.

"I don't know, maybe I'm just too weak to be able to be seen. I'm still exhausted, and I fell out of a tree so I'm sore..." she answered.

Inuyasha just nodded and pretended to understand at least half of what she said. He got up and announced that he was going to take a shower, and don't she dare peek in on him. Kagome just snorted and said something very rude causing him to laugh and shake his head.

Kagome was sitting on the couch when the doorbell rang. She went to the door and was about to open it when she realized that all they would see was air. She sighed and walked over to the bathroom as the person rang the door bell again. She knocked on the door to the bathroom and opened it a little bit. "Inuyasha!" she yelled.

"What?" He yelled back.

"Someone's at the door!" She screamed.

She heard him sigh and turn the water off, then step out of the shower. She quickly retreated to the living room, not wanting to see anything she wasn't supposed to.

Only seconds later Inuyasha came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but his boxers and pants. His chest was exposed, and little rivers of water flowed down to the edge of his boxers because of his soaking wet hair. Kagome was extremely glad that he couldn't see her because she sure as hell couldn't take her eyes off him.

He stalked over to the door, grumbling under his breath and ripped it open. His face went from annoyed to livid in no time flat. Kagome snuck up behind him and she let out a small growl, her eyes turning cold and hard.

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha said, his voice like ice.

The girl in front of him put on a small smile, meant to be sexy but it came out looking pathetic. "What, I'm not allowed to want to see my boyfriend?" She whined.

Inuyasha growled and replied, "You are not my girlfriend Kikyou. You stopped being my girlfriend the day you cheated on me with Hobo, Homo, whatever his name was."

Kikyou pouted and traced her finger down his chest, "I don't know where you got that idea Inuyasha. I never cheated on you!"

Inuyasha snorted and let out a small, bitter laugh. "Kikyou, I walked in on you fucking him. What the hell is your definition of 'cheating on'?"

Kikyou just pouted more and let her eyes grow bigger and fill with fake tears. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes, and slightly started when he felt Kagome's hand on his shoulder.

Kagome leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Inuyasha, I'm going to hide behind the door, do whatever it is you do to make me real, please?"

Inuyasha gave a small nod and allowed Kagome time to get behind the door. Then he looked over at where he thought she was and watched as she slowly faded into existence before his eyes.

An evil smirk crossed her lips when she saw Inuyasha nod to tell her that he could see her. She quickly walked around the door and looked Kikyou straight in the eyes. "Back off bitch, if I ever see you here again I swear to God I'll beat the shit outta you until you can't fucking walk ever again, got it?" Kagome growled, getting right up into her face to make her point.

Kikyou just scoffed and said, "And who are you? Some two-cent whore who slept over one night?"

Kagome slapped her with all her might. "I'm his fucking room mate, got that, and I don't want to see you here, get out now!" with that she slammed the door in Kikyou's face.

Kagome turned around still slightly fuming and saw the look Inuyasha was giving her. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were staring at her with a shocked look. "Wow...that was just...wow..." he muttered.

"What, she had it coming! Little bitch needs to learn her place. I saw in your file what she did to you, and it broke your heart. She has no right to come back here and expect you to take her back with open arms." Kagome explained.

Inuyasha just nodded dumbly and followed as she went into the living room. She sat on the couch and smiled, pleased with herself. It had been a long time since she had actually yelled at someone. She was usually an even tempered person, but it was people like her that just set Kagome off. No one should be treated like Inuyasha was by Kikyou. It was just sick and wrong, not to mention cruel.

Kagome stretched and arched her back, and that was when she realized just how bad a beating her uniform had taken. A loud rip was heard and she looked down to see that one of the holes across her stomach had ripped, revealing her belly button and the area surrounding it.

Kagome sighed and looked over at Inuyasha to see him staring at her still. "Um, Inuyasha, do you think I could borrow some cloths?" she asked, point down to her ruined dress.

Inuyasha just nodded and walked away, grabbing a pair of loose jeans from his dresser and a red t-shirt. He threw them to her and said "I'm going to finish my shower; if you want you can change in my room alright?"

"Yea, that's fine, thanks." Kagome said, once again noticing just how nice he looked without his shirt on. She just watched him walk back towards the bathroom until the door closed, then she got up and headed toward his bedroom.

She had never been in there before, and was surprised at how it looked. The walls were a deep red, the carpet black, and a red bedspread. His furniture was mahogany, beautifully crafted and sturdy looking. The door to his closet was to her left, and she peeked in the door to see that it was a walk in, and had a lot of cloths in it.

She walked back into the center of the room and noticed a door on the right. That door lead to the bathroom, and Kagome definitely did not open that door.

Kagome took off her dress, standing there in only her bra and panties when she heard the shower turn off. She froze, too shocked to move. 'Oh god, he's going to walk in here any second, and I'm not dressed yet!' she thought, starting to panic in her head but still unable to move.

In the bathroom Inuyasha wrapped a towel around his waist and went to the door leading to his bedroom. He didn't even think to knock and just walked right in to see Kagome stand there, her profile facing him, with only her underwear on.

Kagome's head snapped around and her mouth fell open when she saw Inuyasha standing there in only a towel. The thought of what was under the towel caused her to blush and look away, but her feet still wouldn't move.

Inuyasha spoke first, saying, "Shit, sorry Kagome, I didn't even think that you might still be in here."

At the sound of his voice her feet seemed to work again and she leaped to the closest piece of furniture and hide behind it. It was his bed, and she grabbed the comforter slid underneath it and climbed up so that she was lying on the bed. She moved up until just her head was peeking out and she gave him a pointed look that clearly stated 'get out!'.

Inuyasha left, fleeing back into the bathroom while telling her over her shoulder, "Just, uh, tell me when you're out of there alright?"

"Ok." He heard her say softly and he closed the door firmly. He turned and leaned against the door, resting his head against it. 'Shit,' he thought, 'she just had to climb into my bed. Damn it, there was a beautiful girl, in my bed, in only her underwear...aw shit, why the hell did she have to get into my bed?'

Inuyasha turned around and walked to the shower. He turned it on and thought, 'Time for a nice, cold, shower.'

Oh yea, so I was listening to this CD, it's A Tribute to Good Charlotte, but The United Punks of America, and it's a buncha punk bands singing the best of Good Charlotte. So I was listening to it, and I though about the name United Punks of America, and I just randomly thought UNITED PUNKS OF AMERICA ATTACK! ...hehe, I don't know why, but doesn't it sound like some cheesy name of a group? Like how they have Teen Titans and The Justice League? Lol...yea...I'm done...

Thanks!
