Authors Note: I would just like to say as a side note that neither Rin nor Kagome have any kind of power. They are both humans in this fanfiction. Just in case some of you were wondering. Enjoy
I woke up with my skull pounding away, I was feeling like someone hit me with a truck. When I opened my eyes I looked over and saw Inuyasha sitting crouched like a dog while staring at me intently. I yelped and my hand shot out and I smacked him across the face. "Sit boy!" I yelled.
He went face forward down onto my carpet. He was mumbling something into my carpet that I couldn't understand. After a minute or two he slowly got up and glared at me while cursing under his breath, "What the hell was that for?!" He snapped.
I looked at him sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. You kinda scared me." I narrowed my eyes at him but that brought on a sharp pain to my head and I winced, "What are you doing in my room?" I said rubbing my head. When I moved my arm that caused a sharp pain to my ribs. What the hell happened last night?
"Do you remember anything that happened last night?" He said grabbing a water bottle off the desk and bringing it over to me. He handed me some Tylenol and the water. I took them both and swallowed the pills.
"Um, not really. The last thing I honestly remember was going to that party with Rin, and drinking the punch. I was really thirsty." I said.
"That wasn't ordinary punch, mate." He said, "The punch was spiked with alcohol." That would explain why I had the massive headache. "What the hell were you thinking?" He yelled suddenly. I nearly jumped in shock.
"Could you keep it down?" I asked, "You're really not helping the headache." I mumbled.
"It's a hangover." He muttered, "Get it straight."
"Whatever." I said. At least I knew why my head was hurting so badly, I already knew why my ribs were killing me. Yesterday when Rin and I got in that car accident, I felt pain explode in my sides and below my chest. I knew she was already kicking herself about getting in the accident so I didn't want to make her feel worse, by admitting I was hurt. It was best she didn't know. I started to sit up but once I moved I felt white hot pain stab into my ribs, I whimpered and Inuyasha grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back down gently.
"Don't move!" He snapped, "I had Lady Kaede come and treat you while you were passed out. Your ribs are broken, so you won't be able to go to your classes for a few weeks." Crap! My ribs are broken? That explains why they hurt so badly, I could barely move or breathe without causing some kind of pain. "I'm so pissed at you right now, mate."
I sighed, "Could you skip the lecture please?" I said irritated. "I'm really not in the mood to listen to it."
He snarled, "No! You're going to lay there and listen to me. I don't care if you don't like it, it's what's going to happen."
I knew I didn't really have a choice and there was no way that I was going to tune out his voice while he was this angry. I laid my head against my pillow then nodded, "Fine. Go for it." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Don't be a smart ass." He bit out, "Now just what the hell were you thinking when you ditched me yet again and ran off with Rin? You willing got into a car with Rin, knowing she didn't have a license. Am I right?" He asked not really waiting for my answer, but I nodded anyways. "Were you trying to get yourself killed? I saw Sesshomaru's car, the front of it was in bad shape. It could have been so much worse for you mate." I actually felt bad because he was looking really upset. "You then only worsened your condition by moving around, knowing you were hurt. You went to a damn party, and got drunk! Someone could have taken advantage of you, the thought of that makes me sick."
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, you're right. I didn't think how this would of affected you. Inuyasha I am curious though, how did you find me?"
He sat on the desk and looked at me. I was guessing he didn't get on the bed, because he didn't want to jostle me around. "Mate no matter where you go, or how far you run, I will always find you." He said. That should have creeped me out but it didn't for some reason.
"And what if I just picked my stuff up and moved?" I asked.
"I would follow you." He said simply. "Your mine, we belong together Kagome. No matter how hard you dig your heels in the ground, it won't change the fact."
I sighed and shifted slightly but winced, Inuyasha glared at me then opened his mouth to scold me but I beat him to the punch, "I know! Stop moving. It's easier said than done. I was just trying to adjust into a comfortable position." I was trying to get my pillows in the right position. Inuyasha silently got up then grabbed some pillows off Rin's bed and he lifted my head up gently and placed some of them under me. That felt so much better.
"How's that?" He asked.
I smiled, "Much better, thank you. I appreciate the help but you don't have to take care of me, you can go back to your room."
He closed his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose looking annoyed, "You're injured, and it's my job as your mate to take care of you. I do it because I want to Kagome. I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon so you better get used to it."
I smiled then nodded, "Okay." That was probably one of the sweetest things I've ever heard and damn if it didn't just melt my heart a little. "Inuyasha will you tell me something?"
"Sure." He said.
"What happened last night when I was drunk?" I asked curiously.
"You want to know everything?" He asked.
I nodded, "Yes please, don't leave anything out."
"Well once I found you, you were pretty wasted. Rin was having a hard time holding you up. You teased for a few minutes." He grinned, "You told me that you would kiss me since I was sexy for a demon." He chuckled.
I felt my cheeks heat up and I shook my head, "Now you're just trying to embarrass me, you're making it up."
He shook his head, "No mate I'm not, and to be truthful I was very tempted to take you up on the offer." He smirked, "In fact I would be more than willing to take you up on the offer right now, what do you say?"
"I say, you should continue with the story." I mumbled.
He sighed then pretended to look hurt, "Fine! Anyways once I got you home, I could tell you were hurt so I quickly got Lady Kaede up here to treat you, but you weren't making it easy since you just wouldn't stop puking. You puked all over yourself, I had to clean you." He said.
I looked at me shirt and realized he wasn't lying. I was in new clothing. I felt my cheeks burn with humiliation. Oh god…I could actually die of embarrassment right now. "Um thank you." I said softly.
"Of course mate, I was very worried last night because even after Lady Kaede left you were still getting sick. I was just glad you finally passed out and went to sleep. I thought your ribs were going to get worse if you kept puking."
I couldn't believe he saw me puke, and worse he had to clean and change me. I didn't even want to think of him seeing my naked body, that was on a whole other level of embarrassing. "You know Inuyasha, you are very sweet. I don't understand why you try to hide it all the time, you're a good person."
"Pfff!" He said waving his hand in dismissal, "I wouldn't do that kinda stuff for anyone other than you Kagome. I'd kill for you if I needed to, I wouldn't think twice about it. So don't go getting it in your head that I'm some kind of saint, because I'm not."
I wanted to argue with him but I knew that it would only upset him to hear that he was good. Demons didn't like to hear that kind of stuff, even the half demons like Inuyasha. A subject change would probably be for the best, and we could avoid a fight that way since that is all we seem to be doing lately. "Inuyasha, could you hand me my phone? I want to see how Rin is doing." He looked at my phone on the desk then shook his head almost looking guilty.
"You need your rest mate, no calls today."
I narrowed my eyes on him, "Inuyasha don't try and order me around, and if I want to talk to Rin I will. So hand me my phone." I demanded.
"No." He looked at his nails and started to pick dirt out from under them. I glared at him for a moment, and he looked over at me. "Are you hungry, mate?" He asked almost sounding nervous.
"Don't change the subject." I snapped. "I want my phone, why won't you give it to me?"
"I'm not changing the subject. I was just wondering if you would like some food since you woke up. You're going to need to eat if you want to get your strength back. So what would you like?"
"MY PHONE!" I yelled. "Ahh!" I groaned feeling my ribs throb in pain from that.
"To eat." He clarified. I could tell me was restraining himself not to yell at me for hurting myself again.
"Tell me why you won't give me my phone." I said.
"Fine!" He huffed, "When I got you back here and cleaned up, I had Lady Kaede bandage you up. I was so mad last night Kagome, your just lucky you were passed out and missed it. I left you with Kaede and went to Sesshomaru's room, and I broke the door down." He said.
"You didn't…." I gasped.
He nodded, "Yes mate, I did. I was really pissed at Rin for all the trouble she caused last night. Kagome she put you at risk, got you hurt, and drunk! I told her that she is no longer to come near you, and I told her she can't be your friend anymore."
"Inuyasha!" I snapped, "You don't get to decide who gets to be my friend!"
"Yes I do, mate! When that so called friend puts you in danger and gets you into trouble, they lose the right to be your friend! I can't trust Rin around you anymore, it's just the way it is Kagome."
"I don't care if you don't like Rin anymore, I still do. She is a good person, all she was trying to do was have some fun…"
"Fun that got you hurt!" Inuyasha spat angrily.
"It was an accident!" I snapped, "And it wasn't all her fault. I chose to get in the car with her knowing she didn't have a license and it was me who drank all that punch. She didn't get me drunk. You can't blame her, and you're certainly not going to stop me from being her friend."
"Will see, mate." He grabbed my phone and slid it in his pocket, I clenched my jaw angrily trying to keep myself from yelling at him. I wanted to kill him at that moment. "I'm going to go get you some breakfast, try and rest." With that he walked out of the room.
