-------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9
Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Did he hear her right? Did she just ask if she could sleep in his room? In his bed? Right next to him? No way his hearing must've been on the fritz. He shook his head and stared at her. Kagome got a little flustered under his glare and turned red as her boxers.
Kagome's clothes were still a little wet and she just prayed Inuyasha wasn't looking anywhere she shouldn't because she couldn't do anything if he did. Well, she could, but she'd have to risk getting kicked out. So if he groped her...she'd have to take it. Kagome shuddered.
"Well..C'mon then. You can sleep with me." Inuyasha said leading her his way taking her bags and walking into his room.
Kagome looked around the room like she did before. Adoring his room just once more. He grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed so she was sitting next to him. Kagome turned a deep shade of crimson and looked at him.
He walked over to his closet and stood in front of it. Pulling off his shirt and pants. Kagome watched with interest, gazing at his well chiseled form. She was drooling mentally. Soon Inuyahsa was sitting next to her in his red boxers. Kagome looked at them. They were almost like hers. She couldn't stop looking at him so he glared at her.
"What are you looking at?"
Kagome looked away a deeper shade of crimson. "Nothing."
Inuyasha put his hands under her chin and forced her to face him. "Why were you looking at me?"
"I wasn't." Kagome lied.
"Yes you were."
"No...I wasn't..I swear." Kagome whispered. Her and Inuyasha's faces had gotten close together in that moment. The sound of the phone broke them apart.
"Oh...gotta get the phone." Inuyasha flushed.
Kagome turned red. "Yeeah..." Then she looked at herself. 'He almost KISSED me! Or was it me who almost kissed HIM?!'
Inuyasha walked towards the phone in thought. 'Holy jeez..I almost kissed her! I'm such an idiot!' He picked the phone up. "HEllo?"
There was heavy breathing on the phone but no answer.
"Hello?" Inuyasha said again. The breathing continued. "Ok buddy if you're not gonna talk I'm gonna hang up." He listened to the breathing for a few more moments and then hung up. As he did so the power went out.
"Oh shit!" He sighed. Then he heard Kagome scream. "Kagome?!" He ran up the stairs to Kagome.
She was sprawled out underneath a man on his bedroom floor. Inuyasha glared at the man and gasped when he saw his face. The man had long black hair and brown eyes.
Before Inuyasha could see the man he leapt out the window.
"Shit!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Oh my god!" Kagome cried.
"Are you ok Kagome?!"
"Oooohh...since when did you care about me that much?"
"..."
"Hmm?"
"...I'll get back to you on that." Inuyasha walked back into his room.
"Inuyasha..."
"Huh?"
"I can't see anything it's too dark..." Kagome whined.
"Oh yea...kinda...forgot...sorry."
"It's okay."
Inuyasha walked into his basement with a flashlight leaving defenseless Kagome alone upstairs in the dark.
And, oh, yes, she was scared. Very scared. She was petrified and feared the worst. What else was she supposed to do though? Going into the basement would've been a LOT scarier then staying up in the dark...all...alone. OKAY! Maybe not! Kagome jumped and looked from all sides of her when a streak of lightning lit up the room. Then the lights turned on.
"Oh thank god..." Kagome breathed out, relieved.
Kagome walked out and waited at the top of the stairs for Inuyasha to come back up them. He looked up the stairs and caught her eyes. They looked at each other for a while. Inuyasha looked in to her eyes, fright apparent. He knew she was scared. Kagome looked back into his reassuring eyes, she knew he would be her hero and protect through all the rough times. Ahhh yes...this, was happiness.
"Are you okay, Kagome?"
"Yeah...I'm fine...I think."
"If he EVER tries to hurt you! EVER tries to rape you! EVER! I'll kill him with my own two fucking hands! For you! I swear it!!"
Kagome looked at him in pure shock and whatever other expression her nerves could muster. Which wasn't a lot. Her nerves were shot. The attempted rape brought all the fear, pain, sadness, rage, hate, almost all the bad and scary emotions from her and she had none left any more. She opened her mouth to say something, but only a squeak would come out. She couldn't speak. She was...shocked beyond words? Cat got her tongue? She didn't know the words for it but right now she couldn't speak. Inuyasha stared at her, loyalty apparent in this deep amber eyes, then all of a sudden he turned and walked into his room.
Kagome gave him a look and followed him into his room. There she sat on his bed and they looked at each other in awkward silence. Inuyasha stared at Kagome intently, hoping she would say something. She didn't. She was hoping he would talk first.
The silence grew until neither could take the silence any longer. Kagome laid down on the bed and sighed. Inuyasha looked at her. She was so beautiful. He had to admit that. She glanced at him catching his look at her and looked curiously at him.
"Kagome..."
"Inuyasha.." They said at the same time.
"Umm...you first, Kagome..."
"No...you first."
"Uh...never mind..."
"Never mind here too."
"I was...looking at you." Inuyasha said ashamed.
"That's ok...I was looking at you earlier, when I swore I wasn't."
"I thought so..."
"Heh...Inuyasha what happened?"
"Eh?"
"Why were we so close when I said that I wasn't looking at you that last time before the phone rang. Was it me who was putting moves on you...or...."
"Kagome...stop talking about it. You should be more worried about whoever was trying to rape you!"
"Why? I'm curious about it!"
"So am I..." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Let's go to sleep then...since you won't tell me." Kagome pouted, looking at the clock which read 12:00. "Oh man! Cowboy Bebop is on now."
Inuyasha turned on the TV. Kagome smiled and he smiled back. He really wasn't feeling like watching TV, but their conversation earlier was just a little awkward. So he decided to watch it until it was over. When it was over he turned off the TV and went back to their conversation.
"Kagome..."
"No, Inuyasha. No more talk. Let's go to bed." Kagome said putting a finger to his lips.
"Ok..."
They crawled into the blankets and turned off the lights. Neither could fall asleep though. They kept wondering about earlier. Earlier when they almost kissed. Earlier when they were in deep conversation. Earlier when Kagome was almost raped. They thought it over carefully until at last the silence was broken.
"Inuyasha? You still awake."
"Yea..." Was the hushed response.
"I can't sleep..."
"Me either."
"I'm scared..."
"Don't worry Kag...I'll protect you from whoever that man was."
"Thank you...Inuyasha." Kagome snuggled up against his arm.
Inuyasha smiled. "You don't suppose I'm just gonna let you get raped and not care about it... Jeez! I'm nicer then that!"
"I never said you were mean! I just...thought it was nice to know."
"Heh..."
Kagome was asleep a moment later. She rolled over and faced the other way before mumbling something. Inuyasha could hear her at first but he soon could understand perfectly. "I...like you Inuyasha...if only...you felt...the same..." Then her talking stopped. [by the way her talking was like a minute apart (hence the periods in between).]
"If only you knew, Kagome..." Inuyasha mumbled. He was not going to let this happen. Even if he liked her and she liked him. He loved Kikyo and he would not let Kagome come between him and her! Not ever.
He hoped...
