Chapter 7- The Firerat-haori…caught!

Kagome woke up about an hour later. She wiped her forehead, which was dripping in cold sweat. Was it just the heat? She sat up and noticed the water bottle next to her on the bed a few inches away from her sweaty-palmed hands. She picked it up and took a long drink, the cool liquid on her dry throat felt well than anything. She continued to drink until she noticed it was empty. She stood up and made a casual drop into the garbage bin on her way to get another bottle. Everyone was still gone to the market. She looked around her house taking in everything. Her home…so why was it that sometimes it seemed so wrong that she was here. Then again…she did feel safe here. But you feel safe when you're with InuYasha too. Her mind was contradicting her. She shook her head and tried to keep her mind elsewhere. She looked out the window hearing the birds chirp their beautiful and whimsy songs. It reminded her of the outdoors where her and all of her friends would…no that's no good. Something else. She looked around and sighed. Nothing. She walked back upstairs to her room and sat at her desk deciding to actually go over that mound of homework she had. She wouldn't get far.

With InuYasha

InuYasha walked back to Kagome's house. He had memorized her routine by now. She would be at that "school" thing still. He could tell because the sun was still in the middle of the sky. He carried the, now empty, bag of food Souta had given him. He was starved. As he walked up the sidewalk he saw Kagome's house. He climbed up the tree to get inside so he could get into Souta's room. He didn't wish for Kagome's mother to know he was here…or human. He couldn't let her be telling Kagome either. As he got toward the top of the tree he stopped. He could here Kagome…talking to herself. He wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. He was mesmerized by her voice. He stared up at her window frozen in time. It wasn't until he noticed she had stopped talking. He could hear her footsteps. His heart leapt along with him as he landed roughly on the ground and went to the other side of the tree breathing hard. He looked up from the side to get a glimpse of his miko looking out her window. He hadn't been this close to her in forever. He stood there in evident awe of her beauty. He could see the light shade of pink in her cheeks and could feel the warmth of her deep chocolate eyes. After what seemed like an eternity he finally blinked and decided to go before he was seen. However, at the moment that seemed impossible. He looked around trying to think of a way to distract her. He looked down and saw an acorn. He smirked lightly and picked it up and threw it hard, making sure not to hit Kagome, into her room. At this he watched Kagome look at the acorn curiously and go to pick it up. At this he sprinted as fast as his human feet would carry him down the road. By the time Kagome came back to the window holding up the acorn looking to find out how it had gotten there he was gone. However, she did notice something…

Kagome's Point of View

She looked to the tree after throwing the acorn back outside. She thought she has seen something. However, it was gone just as fast as it had come. Then she stopped. Her eyes stared at a small limb of the tree as she gasped and reached out to take something off of it. She opened up her hand to look at a bright red piece of cloth. "InuYasha…"
