KillerEmotions: Thanks guys for the reviews! Oh yeah! I wouldn't be around for the weekend cause I'm having a recollection, meaning I'm going to overnight somewhere with the class. I'll be back on Monday.

Disclaimer: She doesn't Inuyasha but she loves him to death and that's saying something or probably not XD

Chapter 11: She worries for you

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

Iris Murdoch

Kagome's P.O.V.

I sat at the edge of the window as my mind wanders on a certain hanyou. I can't believe he kissed me and what's even worse, I DIDN'T MIND!

"Kagome? Kagome!"

I snapped from my thoughts as I turn to see Kouga in front of me with an anxious look on his face.

"Kouga? What do you want?"

"Why did you tell Inuyasha about the bet!", he exclaimed and I was a bit surprise. I didn't expect that, I should have though. I knew that Kouga would be upset if I told Inuyasha and I did tell him. I sighed.

"Sorry Kouga, I guess I wasn't considering on the outcome when I told him.", I said, giving him an apologetic smile. He let out a breath and slumped his shoulders, realizing the tension within him.

"I guess I forgive you……..but it really sucks that he knows about it, I know he ain't gonna let it down!", he said as he sulked. I patted his shoulder for comfort.

"There there Kouga, I'm sure he'll forget-"

"Forget what?"

Kouga turned to the source of the voice and its no other than the man who's stuck in my mind. I already knew it was him so I didn't have to look at him. Right now I just want to stay away from him for awhile, I need to clear out my thoughts.

AND my feelings for him….

"Che! Could you go away dog-breath, I'm talking with Kagome here", Kouga retorted which he shouldn't have done cause Inuyasha looks like he's gonna kill Kouga right here and then.Sigh. These two cousins, they really are on each other's necks.

"Make me", Inuyasha countered. If I would have known better I would say they are gonna end up fighting again, they always do anyway even in the littlest things. I giggled at the thought which I regretted now since I caught his attention since he's looking at me with that intense gaze, like he wants to devour me and for some reason I don't mind a bit. Just a bit.

I think it's the perfect time to go now, so I hopped off from the window to the ground then dusted off my dress.

"Well I think I should be going now,see ya!", I said as I walked to the opposite side of the hallway but I was stopped when a hand grasped my wrist. I turned around to see my fiancé.

MY FIANCE? Err….I think I'm really sick.

"Just where do you think you're going?", he asked, not letting go of my arm with that still intense gaze in his eyes. I wish the floor would swallow me whole, anything but seeing that look. I would get totally lost in it and I will not be responsible for the actions I might do in the future.

"I was just…going to my room, is that a problem?", I said trying to regain myself and not lose to him. No way, I won't let him. I won't let him control me.

"No, it's not a problem at all. Why don't I escort you there then", I tried to back away but he wouldn't let go of my arm.

"Ah no no no, that's fine, I'll just go on my own besides don't you have some business with Kouga?"

Inuyasha looked like he's shock, like he forgot all about Kouga. Was he so occupied with me that he totally forgot Kouga who is just right beside him? Inuyasha turned to Kouga with a glare and Kouga just looked dumb-founded on what's going on. I am too.

"Would you mind, Kouga? I'm talking to my fiancée here", he said with that possessive voice of his again. Mou! Why does he have to be like that? I'm not his! I mean…yeah I'm his fiancée but still! Aaarrggghhh!

Kouga feels irked but he turned away leaving the two of us. I am somewhat glad that he's gone so he wouldn't really know what's going on between us and yet I'm afraid when he left, I feel like know one could protect me from this demon in front of me. I gasped when I was pushed towards the wall and Inuyasha crushed his lips to mine, bodies grinding against each other as Inuyasha's arms roam around my body. I was too shock to react, I just stayed stiff. He let go of my lips then started nuzzling on my neck. I feel the jitters all around me, I feel so hot right now. I gulped.

"I-Inuyasha….", I tried to say something else but he kissed me again. I guess he wants me to shut up and let him have his way with me. That kinda pissed me off. I pushed him away a little but it was futile since he crushed himself to me again, damn him for being this strong! I tried to talk again.

"S-should…stop…I-Inuyasha….stop…", I gasped out. He heard what I said for he is slowly getting off me and for some reason I feel cold inside, missing the warmth.

I mentally shook that thought out. I let out a breath as I looked up to his face. He has a look of satisfaction yet still a look of longing and something else that I couldn't describe.

We stayed silent for a few moments then Inuyasha began to speak.

"I'll take you to your room then", he said in a monotonous tone as he went ahead. I sighed, feeling a pang in my heart as I followed him. Minutes later we arrived in my room. He just stood there as I opened the door. I turned my head to the side, looking at him with a questioning look.

"Is there something else you need?", I asked. I hear him muttering under his breath but I couldn't catch what he was saying. I just shrug it off then he left without a word.

I just want to wreck something right now.

I sighed. I should just take a nap right now. I walked towards my bed, sat down as I took off my boots and lied down on my bed. I look up at the ceiling, my mind wandering over things again and again.

Flashback

"Because I'm lady luck", I said with a mocking smile. Inuyasha smirked then he lifted up my chin.

"So tell me my lady….do you feel lucky right now?", he asked huskily as he slowly leaned down and gently kissed me, feeling his tongue roaming all over my mouth.Tasting his raw passion.

End of Flashback

Touching my lips, I could still feel it. His need for me, his desire and his raw passion. I wonder why he suddenly did that. When did we click? How on earth did we end up that way? Was it all just a spur of the moment? No, it couldn't be. He just did the same thing to me awhile ago in the hallway.

I blushed at remembering that moment, he was doing those things to me where ANYONE CAN SEE. Hadn't he realized that? What was he thinking? His touches….makes me want him, desiring him, feeling things I've never had before.

Could this be………no, I don't want to say it. Saying it means I'm admitting it.

And I'm not yet ready to admit it. Not until I know that it's real. That I'm not in a dream, that everything is actually happening with my eyes open.

I smiled amusingly yet feeling bitterness inside me.

"Kagome you really need to sleep right now…………"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Inuyasha let out a shout of rage as he leaped up from the ground and strike down for his older brother which Sesshomaru blocked with his katana at ease. Inuyasha then backed away then charged at his brother again with his double-edge sword and Sesshomaru easily dodged Inuyasha's strikes then in a flash Inuyasha disappeared with incredible speed. Sesshomaru calmly tried to feel Inuyasha's aura.

There!

He looked at his left but then he got punched on the face from the right then Inuyasha charged his sword on Sesshomaru from above which he luckily and barely blocked.

"Interesting….since when did you get more agile,younger brother?", Sesshomaru asked with amusement. Inuyasha smirked then moved Sesshomaru's katana to the side with his as he charged at Sesshomaru again but then Sesshomaru did a somersault and landed behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha turned around and used his incredible speed to charge at him again.

He's really fast….I can barely see him now…, Sesshomaru thought as he observed his younger brother's movements. He blinked then saw Inuyasha right in front of him, he didn't have time to block his attack as Inuyasha slashed his kimono into pieces then used the hilt of his sword and jabbed on Sesshomaru's guts. Sesshomaru kneeled down, clutching his stomach and he coughed out a little bit of blood.

In agonizing pain, Sesshomaru looked up at Inuyasha with a curious look, blood trickling down from his mouth.

"You have gotten stronger but I sense a rage in you that you couldn't control and you're venting it out on me", said Sesshomaru. Inuyasha just stayed silent as he wiped his sword and placed it in the sheath then walked towards the shelves of swords.

"Is there any problem?", Sesshomaru asked as he wiped out the blood from his mouth and slowly got up. Inuyasha walked towards him.

"Mind your business", Inuyasha hissed as he passed him then left the training arena. Sesshomaru sighed.

Hmmm….must be about the woman….,Sesshomaru thought as he placed his Katana back in its' sheath. Then left the arena.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

As I walked along the hallway I looked out the window, seeing the sunset. I didn't feel like eating dinner with the others tonight. I walked to my room, thinking of taking a bubble bath. I need to relax right now plus I stink of sweat all over from my spar with Sesshomaru.

"I sense a rage in you that you couldn't control and you're venting it out on me"

Sigh. He's right, I was enrage because of a certain woman with those alluring brown eyes who is stuck in my head the whole day ever since my encounter with her in the mounds. I felt guilty for kissing her, I shouldn't have done that but I couldn't help it, I couldn't control myself plus it seems like she didn't mind that much anyway so I shouldn't complain anyway. I shook my head. No! I shouldn't think that way, I mean what kind of guy am I for kissing her? Yes, she is my fiancé, I have the right to kiss her after all. But why should I? I mean it's not like I have feelings for her. We haven't really gotten THAT close now, did we?

I opened the door to my room and took off my clothes as I walked to my bathroom and prepared the bath. I put on my bathrobe and lied down on my bed as I wait for the bath tub to fill up, could take several minutes to finish, after all it is a bath tub that 4 people could fit in.

Like her….

I growled. I don't want to think impure thoughts of her. It's wrong, so damn wrong! I placed a hand on my forehead then combed my white tresses out of frustration.

"Is there something else you need?"

When she asked that to me, I muttered 'YOU' under my breath. I hope she didn't hear it. I don't want her to think I'm lusting over her.

Because I'm not JUST lusting over her. I know there is some connection between the two of us, I know cause the way her body responds to my actions, I can sense it. She might not be aware of this but I saw that look in her eyes, that she wants to be devoured and not just anyone, only me. Until I sort out my feelings for her there's no way I would let any man touch her in a way that only I should do, not Kouga or anyone. Yes I'm possessive and protective over her, I don't give a damn what other people think and certainly Kagome won't change my mind, that's for sure.

I shouldn't rush though we got a lot of time plus I need to sort out on what's this thing between us. I only know is that we have a connection to one another. What is it really? I know she's also confuse like me and she maybe thinking about it too. But while we're sorting out our thoughts, I'm going to try to spend more time with her. For some reason I just want to be around with her, I feel comfortable when I'm with her. I can laugh easily or even get mad and she wouldn't mind or just fight back like she always does. That's what I also like about Kagome, her witty attitude. Not letting anyone telling her what to do but I think I can change that.

I sat up and walked to see the tub full, I turned off the faucet, took off my bathrobe and relaxed myself in a tub of bubbles.

"S-should…stop…I-Inuyasha….stop…"

I smirked.

I guess I came out too strong on her.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Several minutes I'm all dried up, wearing a black, buttoned shirt with a belt on the waist and white stripes on the longs sleeves. Black pants, leather black boots above the ankles and lastly a long black cloak that has a capelet. I put on the hood over my head then jumped down from the balcony and left. Heading to a place where I can think, be comfortable and just be myself. The pub.

As I entered to a pub called 'The Barrels', I can smell the over-bearing alcohol and tobaccos. The sound of old men cheering, girls gossiping and the noises of playing cue ball. Also I see knights playing darts, nobles playing cribbage (A/N: A card game) and some young men flirting with the waitresses. Yes, this is where I could drown my sorrows and hope to live another day without a hang-over but I doubt it.

I walked over to the bar and sat down, waiting for the bartender. A saw a stout man with a beard and gray eyes, looking at me as he approaches.

"So what can I get ye lad?", he asked with an Irish voice.

"A glass of Guinness will do", I replied. He had a curious look on his face with a bit of shock.

"Such strong beer for a young man like you, how old are ye?", he asked curiously, I can see that he is quite interested in me. I scowled.

"I ain't paying you to interrogate me", I retorted which surprised and annoyed him but nonetheless he left to get my drink. I rarely drink alcohol but right now there's nothing I wanted more to do than to drink some ale right now, I just want to have a good time tonight. With no worries or thoughts about a certain woman who captivated me which is beyond my control.

A few minutes later the bartender came with my black beer.

"Here ya go, drink up", he said as he placed down my beer. I got hold of the handle then drank it up. Seconds later I placed the glass down, the contents of the glass is half empty. The alcohol didn't affect me that much but it's to be expected, I have strong alcohol tolerance, don't know why though. I just am. Although I could feel my face warming up.

I drank some more of my beer then finally finished it, placing down an empty glass. I asked the bartender some more and he gave me another glass. I finished it in one gulp then let out a breath. I'm starting to feel woozy, I feel my insides churning and I think I look red as a tomato. I went to the bathroom for nature is calling me.

I went back to the bar where I used to seat and as I got there I saw a figure in front, I couldn't quite see clearly because my vision is a bit blurry from the alcohol. It seems that figure is talking to the bartender. Wait, that figure has a bust, so it's a woman then. I looked at her profile, she seems to be well-proportioned although I couldn't quite see her face. She has dark-blue hair though, she looks familiar. She turned to the side and her brown eyes ended up to me with a shock look on her face.

My eyes widen at the realization on who it is.

"Inuyasha! What are you doing here? I've been worrying sick about you for hours!", she exclaimed. Hours? I didn't know that I was gone that long already. I snapped out of my thoughts as I focus on the woman before me. How did she know that I was here?

She grabbed my arm and tried pulling me towards the door.

"Come on Inuyasha, let's go back to the castle I wouldn't want your mom to see you like this, she's worrying sick about you. What has gotten into you? Coming in here of all places. Mou!", she ranted as she pulled my arm but I just stayed still. She turned to me with a questioning gaze.

"Inuyasha?"

"Leave me alone", I said, she cringed at the tone of my voice, I didn't mean to sound so harsh. She quirked an eyebrow at me but I didn't care. I just ignored her as I ordered for another round.

"Cancel that sir, this boy is leaving right now", she said to the fat man and that bastard just nodded and left. I groaned out of frustration.

"What do you want?", I hissed.

"I want you to go back to the castle, take a cold shower and have good night sleep. That's what I want.", she said firmly.

"I ain't your servant that you can boss around with wench", she seems to be surprise by that insult. I felt a bit guilty for calling her a wench but it can't be helped now.

"You may not be my servant but you're my fiancé and you should respect my decision, it's for your own good Inuyasha", I was a bit shock on her reply.

"You're fiancé? So now you're accepting me as your fiancé? Such bull Kagome. Piss of will ya", with that said I turned facing the other side, opposite to her. I hear her sitting down, muttering under her breath.

"I'll have a cocktail please", I heard her say and I was shock. I didn't expect her to do that. What is she thinking?

A few minutes later the bartender came with her cocktail. She smiled with thanks and took a sip of her drink. I turned around, facing her as she continues drinking.

"What are you doing?", I asked.

"Can't you tell? I'm drinking you idiot", she spat harshly. I glared at her but she didn't seem to care as she continues emptying the contents of the glass. Then she placed the empty glass down and letting out a breath. I can see her cheeks flushing. I was about to say something when a man came barging in.

"Hey there miss, you with someone?", the man asked sloppily, I can smell the alcohol from where he's standing. He must be really drunk right now. Kagome looked at me on the corner of her eye then faced the bulky man who has an ugly scar on his cheek, you can see the stitches clearly.

"No, I'm not with someone"

I am shock at her reply, I started to fume inside.

"Good", the bastard reply then all of a sudden he started to grab Kagome on her arm and pulled her towards him.

"Watcha say let's go have some fun now, eh missy?", he said as he pulled Kagome towards his body. That did it.

"Hey you! Let go of her!", I exclaimed as I stood up looking at him with fury as I clenched my fist.

"Hmmm…and who might you be?"

"I'm with her so you better let her go", I said in a monotonous tone. The man just gave a sly grin.

"Sorry kid but the girl is with me plus she said she ain't with anyone so mind ya business punk!"

I clenched my fist then I punched guy on the face and fell on the very back, hitting the wall and he lay down unconscious. I grabbed Kagome by the shoulders and covered her using my cloak and left the pub, glaring at the men trying to look at Kagome. I felt the alcohol drained out of me because of that encounter with the bastard. That's what he gets.

When we exit the pub, Kagome pushed herself away from me with an angry look, crossing her arms. I looked at her, dumb-founded.

"What?", I asked.

"You didn't have to make a scene you know, I could have handled him myself", she said which pissed me off.

"Handle him? That guy is twice bigger and stronger than you!"

"But that guy is drunk so I could take him down easily, I'm not some dainty princess you know"

"Aaarrgghh! And I thought I would get some appreciation here for saving you but nooo….you ungrateful wench!"

"I'm ungrateful! You're the one who came in this place anyway!"

"Well nothing bad would happen if you didn't come here woman!"

"I came here to get you! Just what the heck were you thinking on coming out in this place? Huh?"

"None of your damn business!"

"Of course it is!"

"Why!"

"Because…..", she paused.

"I was worried about you…..you…you weren't around at dinner and I looked for you around the castle and I couldn't find you….", she said softly. I was shock at her reply. I never knew she worries so much about me. I placed my head down, ashamed of myself, here I am drinking away my sorrows about her while she's worrying over me. I'm such a selfish bastard.

"Sorry", I said. She looked at me with a puzzling look.

"I'm sorry for worrying you"

She smiled in response. I feel warm again but this time, it's the warmth that I needed.

"Come on lets go back to the castle and you're going to take a cold bath to take off that alcohol.", she said in a strict motherly tone.

"What about you? You also took some liquor", I whined as we walked side by side towards the castle.

"That's just a little bit of it, no big deal but you look all messed-up and you might get a hang-over tomorrow morning. What did you take anyway?"

"2 glasses of stout", she shrieked at my reply and bonked me on the head.

"Ow! Watcha do that for?"

"For being an idiot, that's what! For heaven's sake! You're only 19 and your already taking strong liquor,aarrrggghhh! You infuriate me!", she exclaimed.

"Hey, I wasn't that drunk. And I'm not drunk anymore when you came along!"

"And you should be thanking me for that", she said then we continued walking in silence. We arrived at the entrance.

"Eeerr….how did you leave the castle without being seen by the guards?", she asked.

"I jumped down from the balcony, why?", she fumbled on her vest, biting her bottom lip. I feel a bit turn on right now. Control yourself Inuyasha!

"Well..umm…I kinda sneaked my way out to find you and I don't want anyone to see me sneaking out, so could you….", she didn't finish her sentence but I nodded in understanding. I place my arms under her legs and on her back then jumped to my balcony and landed with ease. I slowly placed her down. She looked at me with a smile.

"Thanks, now go to the bathroom and take a cold shower", she instructed. I sighed as I let her push me towards the bathroom. I stopped as I entered the door and I turn my head to look at her.

"What?", she asked with a questioning look. I grinned.

"Aren't you going to join me?", I asked coyly. A look of shock on her face then turned to irritation.

"Shut up you pervert and just get inside and take a bath!", she exclaimed as she pushed me further in the bathroom and slam the door shut. I chuckled then I undressed myself and took a cold shower. Feeling the cold water rushing down on me as I leaned on the wall with my arms. I can't believe she looked all over for me because she's worried about me, heck she seems to be more worried than my mother. She took the risk of sneaking out of the castle and went inside the pub where it's surrounded with uncivilized men that could have hurt her if I wasn't there. Could she really care for me that much?

I turned off the shower then grabbed a towel to dry myself up then put on my bath robe. I walked outside the bathroom as I dried my hair only wearing my pants then I saw Kagome lying on my bed, sleeping peacefully and I noticed a sandwich, a glass of water and a medicine for headaches. My eyes softened, she did all of these just for my health. I took the medicine and swallowed it then drank the water. Then I turn to Kagome, I took off her boots then I gently tucked her in on my bed. Then I got the sandwich and took a bite as I sat down at the edge of my bed watching her sleep soundly. I caressed her cheek by the back of my hand. She looks even more beautiful when she sleeps peacefully. I wonder if she's dreaming of me. I chuckled at the thought. I finished eating my sandwich. I grabbed an extra blanket from my closet. I went near the bed, I kissed her forehead then I turned off the lights as I settled down on my couch, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep. Minutes later I slowly closed my eyes, feeling the heaviness of sleep, all I see is darkness then nothing.

My this is a long chapter, hope you guys enjoyed reading this chapter!
