Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Inuyasha sensed a demon, but saw none when he looked. He drifted off beck into a light sleep while sitting in his tree, waiting the sunrise, wishing he could wake Kagome up so they could see it together.

She wants sleep though.

He reasoned with himself as he began sleeping again.

And I'll give her what she wants, no matter the cost…

And then a scream.

Inuyasha almost fell off the tree he got up so fast from his drowsiness. He was just jumping into the window as Kagome's family came though the door.

Kagome was backed up into the corner of her room, while a huge demon stood over hear, hand outstretched, obviously looking for the Shikon No Tama.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha heard himself yell as the demon went to strike her, Inuyasha had seen the panic in her eyes, the fear of another death, the dread of one. He raced quickly and blocked the attack with his hands, for he did not own Tetsiguia yet.

Kagome crawled from behind him to her family while Inuyasha held the demon's claws, stopping him from chasing her. Kagome got up when she reached Sota's feet and turned to stare at Inuyasha, who was having some trouble not getting him-self killed.

"Inuyasha be careful!" she said as the demon freed one claw from Inuyasha and swiped at him. The blow barely missed as Inuyasha heeded Kagome's warning and ducked. But this duck allowed the demon to kick up at him, knocking him to the floor temporally paralyzed.

The demon, a rat demon, turned to Kagome and started walking forward towards her. Kagome held the Shikon No Tama necklace in her right hand, and pushed her family behind her with the left hand. Inuyasha, still paralyzed by the demon's blow, tried getting up, but could not when the demon turned quickly and stepped on his back.

The demon reached for her, and grabbed her around the waist. "INUYASHA" she screamed as Inuyasha struggled to get the weight off of his back. "INUYASHA I NEED HELP!" she yelled.

Everything she needs…

With a sudden burst of energy Inuyasha threw off the demon's foot and landed a good punch to the demon's face, knocking him to the ground. Kagome flew across her room and Inuyasha quickly caught her and set her down, not wanting her family to realize how much he wanted to hold her.

The demon got up, cast one disdainful look at the group and went off through the window, suddenly looking like a small innocent rat. Kagome had tears in her eyes, she had been frightened the demon would kill her. "Inuyasha." She chocked out, currying herself in his red robe, ignoring her family, he gave her a hug, comforting her crying soul and easing her fears.

Her family stood there for a second, watching, and then they decided… Inuyasha and Kagome were good together, and they approved of him.

Kagome had been sleeping, and when she woke up, there was a rat on her bed. It was still night, almost sunrise.

I wish I could wake up Inuyasha and see it with him…

She thought as she stared more closely at the rat…it had red eyes. She screamed loudly and ran into the far corner of her room as the rat grew larger, becoming a demon. She heard footsteps and the sound of a door opening and something landing on her windowsill.

"KAGOME" Inuyasha yelled as the demon tried killing her for the jewel around her neck.

Killing…

Kagome's eyes widened, she didn't want to die again… oh no not again!

But she heard Inuyasha grunt in front of her, he was protecting her from the fatal attack, crawling she moved from behind him to her family, who was huddled by her door.

THE DEMON'S GOING TO HURT HIM!

"Inuyasha be careful!" she screamed, and Inuyasha heard her. He Ducked, avoiding an attack, but he was kicked him return, and he fell to the floor paralyzed.

Kagome didn't know what she was doing or saying anymore, the demon came up to her and grabbed her around the waist, hoisting her up from her family and Inuyasha.

Oh no, Oh no! He's going to kill me of Inuyasha HELP!

She thought, but her dreams and hope were squashed when the demon put a huge foot on Inuyasha's back, stopping him from getting up.

"INUYASHA! INUYASHA I NEED HELP!" she yelled, trying to wake the almost unconscious hanyou up. Something seemed to stir in him and he threw off the demon, but as the demon fell back, she was flung forward. She was luckily caught by Inuyasha, who set her down, although she wanted to stay in his arms.

They stared at the demon as it transformed back and ran out the window.

I almost died, Inuyasha almost died. Ok, come on girl, don't start crying yet, don't… no girl… hold them back…

She couldn't help it; she fell over into Inuyasha crying, and was comforted when he put his arms around her. She didn't care that her family saw, she just wanted to be with him, to be held by him.

Maybe… maybe now is the time to do this…

She thought as she looked up into concerned amber eyes with her tearing hazel ones. Slowly, she leaned up into him, and lightly pressed her lips into his.
