Chapter 4

He quickly pulled Kagome to the ground and covered their heads.

"Well look who we have here. It's InuYasha Takashi and his newest whore Kagome Higurashi. What could you two possibly be doing out here on my street at 11:30 at night? You know what happens if I catch people on my street this late at night Kagome. And what's this I hear about Narkau will never find out? Are you talking about the child I impregnated you with? I know about that, it had been my goal all along. Then you can't get away from me ever."

Kagome finally looked up and behind the tears you could clearly see the anger. Suddenly out of nowhere three guys grabbed InuYasha, holding him back while Naraku picked Kagome up by her hair, making her cry out in pain. The three men quickly tied InuYasha up but kept ahold of him as Naraku tied Kagome's hands behind her back and taped her mouth. Kagome had tears streaming down her face as she realized he was going to try to rape her again, but this time in front of InuYasha.

She tried to look over at him but Naraku punched her in the jaw. In one swift motion he shredded all of her clothes leaving her naked. She tried to kick him in the groin only for him to catch it and twist her ankle leaving her with a really bad sprain. He then gave her a kick in the ribs. Kagome closed her eyes waiting for him to kick her again but the kick never came. When she opened her eyes she saw InuYasha on top of Naraku beating the shit out of him. Naraku managed to kick InuYasha off of him and took off running. By that time Kagome had gotten the rope off her and she back to crawl towards InuYasha. She stopped when he looked at her with blood red eyes and a magenta stripe on each cheek. She began to slowly back away but again stopped when he began growling. He was suddenly right in front of her and grabbed her wrist.

He slowly brought her wrist under his nose and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes as the tears continued to fall. When she opened her eyes InuYasha was back to normal, golden eyes and all. He looked at Kagome's battered state as she tried to cover herself up, and took off his coat that was long on him so he knew it would be on her too. Kagome hesitated for a moment before taking his coat.

"What happened Kagome? The last thing I remember is seeing Naraku punch you, then everything went black."

She hesitated again for a moment before answering, "He kicked me in the ribs, and tore all of my clothes off. He twisted my ankle really hard. After he kicked me I think you tackled him but I'm not sure because I wasn't paying attention, but when I opened my eyes, your eyes were blood red and you had stripes on your cheeks. You were snarling and beating the crap out of Naraku when he kicked you off and ran. I tried to back away from you but you growled and grabbed my wrist. After that you sniffed my wrist and your eyes became gold again."

She looked away from him as the tears continued, breaking his heart as they fell. His eyes became wider with everything he was hearing but he went forward and gathered her in his arms.

"Kagome, I am so sorry. I can't believe I did that. Are you okay?"

Kagome nodded her head. "I'm just shaken."

InuYasha looked at her and could tell she was in a lot of pain. "You're not okay, I can tell because you're shaking like a leaf. You can hardly breathe, much less stand."

He carefully picked her up and began carrying her back to Kagura's. As soon as he knocked on the door Kagura answered. "Oh my Kami, what happened? Is she okay?"

"Naraku found us walking home and decided he wanted to take her body again, but in front of me this time. I was held back and tied up but I escaped and tackled him after he punched her in the face and kicked her in the ribs. I don't remember anything after that but from what she's told me I guess I went full demon and attacked Naraku. He managed to get away, but she told me that I growled and sniffed her wrist before turning back to what I am now."

At about that time Kagome began to wake as they put ice on her bruised face and ribs. "Where am I?"

Kagura knelt down by her head, "You're at my house Kags. InuYasha brought you here, and we've got to keep this ice on your face and ribs. I know it's painful but you've got to do it."

Kagome barely nodded her head, "Where is Inu?"

"I'm right here Kags." He said and let his ears cling to his head; waiting for her to scream or tell him to get away from her, but it never came. Instead he almost jumped in surprise when she grasped his hand pulling him toward her. She pulled him down and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for saving me." His eyes widened just a little."

"You're not scared of me?" She shook her head lightly.

"No, I was when we were back there, but not anymore. I know you were trying to save me."

InuYasha let a smile spread across his face as he kissed her forehead. "Will you sing me a song Inu?"

"What kind of song?"

"I don't care; I just want to hear your voice."

He smiled lightly and kissed the tip of her nose, "Only if you will sing me a song once you're better." She nodded her head and closed her eyes, waiting for him to start.

`Oh what the hell

She says 'I just can't win for losing'

And she lays back down

Man, there's so many times

I don't know what I'm doing, like I don't know now

By the light of the moon

She rubs her eyes

Says it's funny how the night can make you blind

I can just imagine

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

But if she feels bad then I do too

So I let her be

And she says "ooo"

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

'Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tired her best but now she can't win its

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down`

InuYasha carefully gathered her in his arms as he continued.

`She sits down and stares into the distance

And it takes all night

And I know I could break her concentration

But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon

She rubs her eyes

Sits down on the bed and starts to cry

And there's something less about her

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

So I sit down and I cry too

And she says "ooo"

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

'Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tried her best but now she can't win its

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night

Tries to close her eyes

If she can find daylight

Then she'll be alright

She'll be alright

Just not tonight

And she says "ooo"

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

'Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tired her best but now she can't win its

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

'Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tried her best but now she can't win its

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down`

By the time he finished she was almost completely asleep. After asking Kagura, InuYasha took Kagome up to a guest bedroom and gently laid her down before calling his dad.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad, it's InuYasha."

"Oh, where are you at? Why aren't you home son?"

"I'm helping my girlfriend dad. We got jumped on our way to her house. I'm fine, but she got a few broken ribs and a very bruised face."

He could hear his father's breathe hitch in his throat. "Why were you jumped?"

"Because of something that happened in her past."

"I do not what you to get involved with her problems if they're going to get you hurt InuYasha. She is just a girl. You can always find another one."

InuYasha felt his anger begin to rise as his father said that. "No dad, she's not just a girl. Kagome is to me what mom was to you."

"You cannot expect me to believe that to actually be true when you've only known her for what, two days?"

"So what; two days, two weeks, 2 months, 2 years, 2 decades, two centuries, I do not care. She is mine to take care of, and I'm going to. Believe what you want, but I mean it."

His dad sighed, "Fine, but I'm waning you if you get hurt I'm going to be very mad at you."

"Okay dad, I got it. Do you mind if I bring her home for dinner tonight?"

"Of course, I want to meet the girl my son is protecting twenty-four/seven. Dinner is at seven do not be late."

"Feh. I know it's at seven, but I do want to warn you that she has a huge bruise on her jaw, and she'll probably be a slow walker because of her ribs. If Sesshomaru can't be mince to her then he just need to keep his mouth shut."

"Okay, I'll talk to him, son."

"Alright, see you tonight dad. Bye." InuYasha hung up the phone before his dad could even respond and laid down on the bed for a nap.
