Chapter 5

InuYasha continued to stare out the train window lost in thought. 'Why do I feel...like...something's not right. But what could be wrong?'

Suddenly a faint smell of blood came to him. "Kagome!" Picking up his bandana, InuYasha quickly threw open the cabin door and followed the smell of Kagome's blood.

Due to security on the train InuYasha didn't have Tessiaga with him. And with the smell of Kagome's blood. InuYasha's demon blood was slowly surfacing, but unlike before this time his demon side only wanted to kill whoever hurt Kagome.

"Damn fools, no one touches my Kagome!" InuYasha growled out in his demon voice.

When InuYasha reach the food car that Kagome had stopped at earlier to get their food. He suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

The staff was cleaning up dishes and food that someone had dropped.

"What the hell happened in here!?" InuYasha asked in almost a demanding voice.

"Someone was attacked while getting their evening meal."

"WHO!? Tell me, was it a young woman?"

"I'm sorry sir, but...I didn't see what happened."

"Damn it! Kagome, where are you?" But there was no answer.

Getting down on his hands and knees. InuYasha crawled around trying to pick up Kagome's scent.

"Got it!" In a flash he was gone.

Running as fast as he could, InuYasha soon found himself standing at the last cabin car on the train. Raising his claws he called out. "Iron reaver soul stealer!" Cutting the cabin door into pieces.

Once the dust settled. The sight before InuYasha caused his demon blood to boil. Kagome was laying on the small bed with her hands tied behind her back, and out cold.

"Who the hell are you!?" Came a voice from the corner of the room.

"The last thing you'll ever see. You dirty piece of shit how dare you touch her!" InuYasha said while flexing and cracking his fingers.

The man in the corner didn't hesitate, he quickly pulled out his gun and opened fire.

As the bullets hit InuYasha, blood started to cover his shirt and pants. But InuYasha didn't care, his demon blood was over the edge now. After a loud growl, InuYasha ran towards the man that took Kagome. Slashing the gun in half along with the mans face. As the man fell to his knees holding his bloody face in his hands. InuYasha quickly ran to Kagome, cutting her hands free and carefully picking her up.

InuYasha turned to the man and said his final words. "Don't EVER touch Kagome again! Or next time I won't hesitate to kill you!"

But the strange man didn't say a word.

InuYasha wasted no time getting Kagome back to their cabin car. Luckily as he made his way back some of his demon blood had calmed down. Now that Kagome was safe in his arms.

Gently InuYasha laid Kagome down on their small bed. "Please be alright." InuYasha softly spoke as he ran a clawed hand through her hair.

InuYasha refused to leave her side, his demon blood hadn't completely left. And luckily all the bullets had passed straight through him. Other wise who knows what could have happened.

Kagome started to wake up later that night. Slowly she opened her eyes to find InuYasha by her side. His left hand held her right hand tightly. Almost like he was afraid she would leave without him knowing it.

"Hey there." InuYasha quietly said while she looked into his golden eyes. Kagome gave a small smile and replied. "Hey yourself."

InuYasha gave her a big smile before claiming her lips. After breaking the kiss InuYasha waited for Kagome to say something. As he rubbed his thumb over her cheek. But words never came, only a hiss of pain. As Kagome brought her free hand to her forehead. "What hit me? Kagome asked through clenched teeth.

"Some asshole tried to..."

"Tried to what, InuYasha?"

InuYasha didn't know how to finish telling Kagome how he found her. After all everything that happened was so much like Kagome's nightmare.

"InuYasha please tell me!" Kagome's voice was panicked now.

"I don't know what that man was going to do Kagome. *sigh* But I won't let anything like that happen again. From now on I'm coming with you."

Kagome could see the fear in InuYasha's eyes and she pieced some of what he said together. She didn't ask for details she had a pretty good idea of what might have happened, if not for InuYasha having saved her.

Another sharp pain went through her head. InuYasha decided to get her something for the pain. Leaving her side InuYasha quickly went through her supply bag. After finding the pill bottle in the first aid kit, and a bottle of water. InuYasha quickly returned to her side. "Here Kagome." InuYasha said handing her the pill bottle and water.

"Thanks." Kagome said taking the pill bottle first, and taking out two white pills. Once Kagome finished with the water. She moved over to allow InuYasha into the bed with her.

"Come on InuYasha." Kagome said while patting the spot next to her. "There's plenty of room."

InuYasha didn't hesitate, as he laid down next to her. And neither did Kagome. As soon as InuYasha was in bed, Kagome laid half of her body over his.

"Are you sure you want the bed and not me to lay on?"

Kagome only giggled at what InuYasha said as she snuggled deeper into his chest. InuYasha couldn't help but smile at the thought of Kagome sleeping happily in his arms. Even after what might have happened, if he would've been to late.

That night it was InuYasha that had the nightmare. But this dream was different. Instead of the man shooting him, it was Kagome.

When the shots rang out InuYasha instantly set straight up, along with Kagome. Who was know wide awake.

"InuYasha?" Kagome asked wiping the sleep from her eyes. Once Kagome's eyes adjusted to the light in the room. She could see the sweat rolling down InuYasha's face, along with his heavy breathing. Kagome was beyond worried now.

"InuYasha, please tell! What's wrong?"

"It was...nothing Kagome...just a bad dream."

But Kagome knew better. "Come on InuYasha. How stupid do you think I am? You look like me when I have that stupid nightmare."

InuYasha just grinned at her. "You're right Kagome. It was more than a bad dream. *sigh* But this is one dream you don't need to hear about. Besides I don't think I want to relive it."

Kagome understood that feeling, so she left the subject go. She also knew in time he would tell her. "It's okay InuYasha, I understand." Kagome said giving him a strong embrace.

InuYasha woke to the sweet smell of Kagome's hair. Sometime after his nightmare, they both must have fallen back to sleep again. Kagome was snuggled into his side with her right arm and head on his chest. Bringing his right hand up, InuYasha gently put a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

'What would I do if I lost you again Kagome?' InuYasha thought while he brought his arms around Kagome giving her a small hug.

Kagome gave a heavy sigh. "Mmm, InuYasha. Please don't move."

InuYasha just chuckled at Kagome. "Well believe me Kagome. We might feel the same way on this one. But there is a part of me that says we might have to move soon."

Kagome just looked at InuYasha for a minute, before it hit her what he was trying to say. Quickly Kagome got off InuYasha and left him leave to relieved himself.

A blush came to her as she thought about how good it felt to lay in his arms like that. The she couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to lay like that after sex. When InuYasha came back from the bathroom, he noticed Kagome's cheeks were all red.

"What's wrong Kagome?"

But when Kagome went to answer him. She noticed something on his chest, a wound of some kind. Since there was not a lot of light in the room last night she didn't notice it till now.

Slowly she rose from the bed and walked up to him. As she got closer she noticed more marks all over his shirtless chest. "Kagome?" He questioned again when he saw her staring at his chest.

Slowly she placed her hand over one of his marks. "InuYasha? What? Are these..." But she couldn't finish for now she knew what truly happened while she was knocked out.

It was her nightmare, but different in away. "InuYasha...you were...shot..."

InuYasha didn't say anything, he only took her arms and placed them around his neck. Claiming her lips passionately, before Kagome knew it InuYasha's tongue found it's way into her mouth. Kagome wasn't sure why he was avoiding her question. But her mind didn't want to work right now.

The feel of InuYasha's tongue exploring her mouth was fogging her mind. Slowly her knees started to give way as InuYasha deepened the kiss. Feeling her start to fall, InuYasha wrapped his arms around her waist to support her. Soon Kagome found herself being laid back on the bed. As InuYasha released her lips and started kissing and nipping at her neck, slowly working his way down to her collar bone.

'This is amazing, karma don't let this feeling end!' Kagome thought just before a loud "knock" and a man's voice called from outside their cabin door.

"Damn every time!" InuYasha growled out from his spot on top of Kagome.

It was Kagome that answered the door. After fixing her hair and shirt, from her and InuYasha's little make out session.

Slightly opening the door Kagome peaked out. "Yes, may I ask what the problem is sir?"

Tipping his hat to her the officer answered her. "Sorry to bother you miss, but did you hear or see anything strange around here last evening?"

Kagome thought for a minute before she answered. "No sir, I've been in here the whole time. I haven't been feeling very well so I was probably asleep."

"Thank you for your time miss, and if you do hear anything just let me know."

Kagome only nodded to the man before closing the door. Resting her head on the door, Kagome wasn't expecting InuYasha to embrace her from behind. Kagome gave a small "yelp!" When she felt his arms come around her waist.

InuYasha could tell she was worried about something, but he didn't ask. For the time being he felt like just holding her close.

"InuYasha, I'm scared. What will happen if..."

"If what Kagome?"

"What if they come looking for you? We need to hide your hair and eyes just in case."

"And how will we do that Kagome?"

Kagome left InuYasha's embrace and went to her other bag with supplies in it. Pulling out her hair brush and hair tie, along with a pair of sunglasses. Kagome walked up to InuYasha and started explaining to him what she had in mind.

As Kagome brushed and braided InuYasha hair. The man InuYasha attacked earlier had finished cleaning his face. Which now had four diagonal lines down it. As he stared at his mangled face in the bathroom mirror. The cell phone in his pocket started ringing.

"Damn now what!"

Looking at the phone, he saw the name Eiji. "Damn what does he want know!? Yes, what is it!"

"Don't use that tone of voice with me Takehiko, not if you want to keep living."

"Sorry boss...but some monster just attacked me."

"Don't lie to me Takehiko, I asked for one simple thing and somehow all I ever get is excuses."

"I have proof this time boss. Whatever that thing was took half my face."

"I don't care about your ugly face Takehiko, I want to know if you have my next victim yet?"

There was silence on the phone for a minute before Takehiko continued.

"I managed to find a good one, but the monster took her with him. I did manage to get you a picture. I think you'll really enjoy this one. Turns out she's also heading to Sapporo. I'll send you the picture now."

Takehiko pushed the end button on the phone, then brought up the picture of Kagome just before he tied her hands together. The picture showed her laying on her back fully dressed, all Eiji wanted to see was her beaut and age. The younger the better. Once the picture was sent to Eiji, he texted Takehiko back. Saying these simple words.

"Keep a close eye on her, she's mine once we find out what's going on."

Takehiko slammed his phone shut and threw it on the floor. "Damn of all the woman in the world why the hell does he pick her? Especially with that monster protecting her."

Takehiko walked to the bathroom and noticed once again blood started running down his cheek. 'Eiji would have to wait for this girl.' Takehiko thought while cleaning his face again.
'First we need to find out who the hell this boyfriend of hers is. He sure as hell isn't human, no human would have survived that many bullets going through their body.'

Takehiko decided to to rest on this problem for awhile. There was plenty of time to get what he wanted. Revenge!
