Ok, here's ch. 4 that I know that some of you have been dying to read.

Disclaimer: refer to, well, you people know where.:-)

 Chapter 4

"You can't kill him." she yelled.

"Why the hell not?" he asked confused. 'Why dose she want to protect this bastard? He almost raped her.' he thought.

"You can't kill him because you will get arrested and put in jail and...and"

"AND WHAT!" he yelled

"And mom can't find out what happened." she cried

He turned and looked back at the guy. "Run or you will die." Inuyasha told the man.

The man hurried and zipped his pants then ran out the door. He turned back to Kagome. She was sobbing in her hands on the bed. He walked over to her only to smell blood.

"He hurt you, where did he hurt you?" he asked her looking all over. She looked up at him through her teary eyes and moved her arms to reveal her torn shirt. It was full of blood. She moved some of the shirt (not to much ) for him to see the scratch marks the man gave her. Inuyasha was uncontrollably mad. 'He almost raped my soon to be mate, but he did hurt her so he will pay if I see him again." Kagome was still crying, but not as much.

He sat on the bed next to her and held close to him. "Maybe we should tell your mom what happened." Inuyasha said. Kagome gasped. She looked up at him and said "No, we can't. We can't let her know what happened. Promise me Inuyasha you won't tell her. Please, promise me." she begged him. "Of course I won't if you don't me want me to." he said

"Thank you, Inuyasha...I'll be fine. Can you get me a wet rag, a dry one and my pajamas? I should get cleaned up."

"Feh" is all he could say and he walked to the bathroom to get a rag and towel then went to her bag and got her pajamas. He brought them over to her. "Here" he said as he handed her the stuff then crouched on the floor.

"Thanks again Inuyasha." Kagome said taking the wet rag and cleaning her wounds. 'I could heal her wounds faster.' he thought but pushed it away.

"Kagome...I'm...I'm.." he started

"Yes, Inuyasha" Kagome side looking up at him.

"I'm Sorry" he said lowering his head. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop him. Its all my fault. I'm so sorry Kagome."

Kagome was stunned. 'Did Inuyasha just apologize to me in his haynou form? In his human form I can expect him to, but not as a haynou.' she thought 'why is he apologizing for anyway? It wasn't his fault.'

Inuyasha still had his head lowered. His ears were flat on his head. 'He looks like a long lost puppy like that.' she thought. He heard her shift so he looked up through his bangs to see her on all fours looking down at him.

She reached down and put a hand under his chin to lift his head up to look at her. "Inuyasha" she started, looking deep into his eyes. "It's not your fault. Nobody knew he was going to try to do that and nobody knew the closet door was going to get jammed. So don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault. I'm ok now, so don't worry, besides I'm getting tired and want to go to bed." That last part she said with a smile on her face.

He raised his eyebrows to her after that last statement. 'So my wench wants to play.' he thought getting off the floor. He stood up and crossed his arms over his chest. he had a very evil smirk on his face and said "Well, if you want to go to bed, don't you have to change in to those soft things you call pajamas?"

She saw the smirk on his face and heard the excitement in his voice. "Why yes Inuyasha I do" she said watching his smile growing bigger "but you have to turn around so I can change." she giggled a little when his bright smile turned upside down, but he complied with what she said and turned.

Less than a minute later she said it was alright for him to turn around. She handed him some black draw string pants and an oversized t-shirt, but he didn't need the t-shirt. Kagome got under the covers and shifted herself until she was comfortable, then beckoned Inuyasha to get in bed also.

He didn't pass up this chance and rushed over to the other side of the bed and got in. At first they laid a few inches apart but Kagome felt a cold chill and scooted closer to Inuyasha.

"Are you cold?" he asked her softly

"Yes, I just got a cold chill. Are you cold?" Kagome asked moving closer to him.

"No, demons don't get cold as easy as worth-I mean priceless humans. We can share my warmth." He slid his arm around her waste to pull he even closer to him in a tight, but comfortable hold.

She sighed and fell asleep in his arms. He watched her sleep for a little while until sleep caught him as well.

They awoke to a wonderful morning. Inuyasha was up first, gazing down to his soon-to-be mate. 'I love to see her wake in the morning, she's so beautiful.' he thought as the girl stirred in his arms and woke. She blinked the sleep out of her eyes, and then looked up at Inuyasha. "Morning" she said reaching a hand up to scratch his ear. He purred slightly then reached up and grabbed her hand. "Don't Kagome, I don't want to lose control." he said kissing her hard. She giggled and kissed his nose. "I need to use the ladies room, so I need your help." She said sitting up and removing the sheets.

He got up, walked around the bed and picked her up. She wrapped her arms around her neck and whispered "I love you." in his ear.

"I love you too Kagome." he said walking her into the bathroom. "Here, grab a hold of the round thing to keep your balance. I'll get you some clothes." he said walking back to the door.

Kagome wondered if she could walk on her own so she put weight on her foot. Bad idea, she yelped in pain and fell on the floor. Inuyasha heard this, grabbed her clothes and ran to the bathroom. When he got there Kagome was still much on the floor, but was trying to get up. "What did you do?" Inuyasha asked while helping her up.

"I wanted to see if I could stand on my foot, but as you can see I can't." she said. He heard the disappointment in her voice.

"Don't push yourself, Kagome. Give your ankle time to heal. It's not like you're a demon and can heal in hours."

"But you can't carry me around everywhere and I know I'm a burden and.."

"No, you're not a burden. If I didn't want to carry you around I wouldn't have offered. So just get dressed so we can eat." he said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Ok, you have to leave though." Kagome said pushing him towards the door.

"Fine, but quit pushing me wench."

She stopped and looked at him. 'Did he just call me a wench?" she thought.

He realized what he said and hit himself in the head. "Kagome, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what…"

He was stopped by her finger over his lips "No, need to explain. I would miss you calling me that anyway. Now please leave so I can get ready. I'll call you when I'm done. Ok?" she asked him.

"Yes, but hurry up. I'm hungry." he said pointing to his belly which was growling.

"Of course" she told him while he walked out and closed the door.

Kagome quickly got dressed and called Inuyasha. He picked her up and carried her over to Mrs. Higurashi and Sota's room. Just as he was about to knock on the door Kagome stopped him. "Remember, don't tell mom about anything that happened last night, got it?" her voice was stern, but still had some fear.

'She's still scared about me telling her mom. I wonder why?' he thought to himself, but was brought back when Kagome said "Hello? Inuyasha….Are you in there?" While snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"What? Oh, yeah I won't tell her." Inuyasha said knocking on the door.

"Coming….just a minute." They heard Mrs. Higurashi. The door came open and Mrs. Higurashi said "Oh, it's only you. I was hoping it was room service. I ordered some chicken noodle soup for Sota. He's gotten worse." she said with a worried look on her face.

"Mom, if Sota's sick why don't we go home?" Kagome asked.

"I have two reasons why. One, he wont let me. He says he will be fine soon and doesn't want to ruin our vacation. And second because his doctor is on vacation and he won't see any other doctor, but his regular one. I don't know what I going to do with that boy." she told them.

Mom, just-" she was stopped by a mans voice behind them saying "Room Service"

"Oh great your finally here. Just sit it on the table, please." she told him turning and walking towards a room where Sota was.

As the men came in view to Kagome and Inuyasha, Kagome froze. He could sense the large amount of fear in her. 'She has never been this scared before even when we fought demons.' he thought while she wrapped her hands around Inuyasha's waist and buried her head in his chest.

The man sat the tray of food on the table then turned to leave. He stopped in front of them and said "Later bitch, your mine." with a wink.

Inuyasha gave the man a threatening look followed by a deep growl. There were only two things keeping Inuyasha from ripping the man apart. One, Kagome told him he couldn't because things were different in her time and killing someone is wrong. (a/n: Its wrong no matter what, but you know what I mean.) Two, because Mrs. H and Sota were there.

When the man went to pass Inuyasha and Kagome he squeezed Kagome's butt. She jumped a little bit in Inuyasha's grasp. The man walked down the hallway laughing.

Mrs. Higurashi came back out of the bedroom. "Did he leave already? I forgot to tip him." Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Don't worry about it Mrs. H. he said he didn't need a tip." Inuyasha said with a growl.

"Well then, I'll take this to Sota." she said picking up the tray of food and heading towards the bedroom, but stopped and turned to the couple. "Kagome dear, are you alright? You look like you seem a ghost." she asked Kagome.

"No mom, I'm fine." she said letting her tight hold on Inuyasha loosen.

"Ok, then, I am sorry that I'm leaving you two alone all the time, but Sota is sick. I really am sorry." she said walking to the bedroom.

They stood there a little bit longer then went back to there room. He sat her down on the couch in front of the fire place. "Now what do we do? Its only 10:30 a.m.? We could get come breakfast. Are you hungry Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yea, I could go for some rabbit! What about you?" Inuyasha asked.

"I haven't had rabbit in a while and besides they don't sell it here Inuyasha." Kagome said with a giggle.

"Feh, stupid hot spring." he snorted crossing his arms over his chest. "What do they have on that 'Room Service' menu anyway?" Inuyasha asked not thinking about Kagome. Kagome sat there froze.

A/n: Well, I ain't requesting any certain amount of reviews, but you people better review or i'll sick my lil one after you. She bites...literally! Anyway, tell me if you all wanta lemon, I can probably guess that answer. I think I will have one in ch. 6, but i need to know what you all think.
