Disclaimer : I do not own Inuyasha

Where we left off:

Kagome's step dad left the table with silence, not even showing a hint if interest in the conversation that evening. Instead he cleaned his plate and left to the bedroom. He walked into the bedroom and locked the door behind him. He walked over to the nightstand and picked up the phone dialing a secret number. A mysterious man answered and Takashi started talking to the man on the other line.

"What is it?" the mysterious voice asked.

"I need someone taken of."

"Yes, who is it?"

"The boys name is Inuysaha Takahashi, find as much information you can about him and get back to me with all the details as soon as possible."

"Any particular reason sir?"

"He seams interested in Kagome, I can't have anyone interfering with the observation."

"Yes sir."

Now:

Takashi hung up the phone and leaned over to the nightstand beside him and opened it. He pulled out a little book disguised as an event planner and opened it to a certain page. Reading the text in his head it said:

'Due to recent discoveries from a spy in the royal Takahashi household, our organization is aware that they are searching for a girl who is a reincarnation of an ancient priestess from five hundred years ago. Getting their hands on this girl they will be able to manipulate her into using her powers to finally put their plan into action. As we are aware the Royal family plans to use these powers to make the entire country once again under their control.'

To better make sense of the situation, Takashi remembered what he understood before. The royal family has been waiting for years of the reincarnation of the girl. But when the day finally came, two girls where born, both almost identical but from different mothers. They became confused and once again waited till enough signs showed. Nobody would know which girl truly had the ancient priestesses powers until the day that the priestess died on her twenty-second birthday. Everything would be transferred on the day she died; she will take over that girl's body. But if manipulated with love, her powers can easily be used to anyone's selfish needs. Kagome was one of the girls that was born on that day, the others name was Kikyo. Takashi rubbed his eyes out of frustration, then put the little book back and left the bedroom to lounge with the rest of the family in the living room. When he entered the room Kagome just walked back into the house through the front door, she had said goodbye to Inuyasha and was going to go upstairs to get ready for bed. Takashi continued to the living room and sat down with his wife to watch the evening news.

"He seams like a nice enough boy?" Mrs. Higurashi said starting the conversation.

"Mmm Hmm." Takashi replied.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"No, nothing to worry about, just a little stressed out from work."

The two continued to watch the news. Meanwhile, Kagome was sitting in the tub thinking about everything. 'I hate Takashi, what did mom ever see in that guy? It has always seamed like he constantly wants to know what I'm doing, where I'm going, and whom I am seeing. Talk about a stalker. But that doesn't matter, have I really already fallen in love with Inuysaha? I hardly know him, yet my friends think something is there. I guess I like that he is hardheaded and stubborn, but not all the time, like when he caught mw when I fell down the steps, that was so sweet. I wonder what he is thinking right now?' Kagome squished down into the water some more to rinse off and stepped out.

With Inuyasha

Inuyasha stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hall on the third floor to his little apartment. It was a simple one-bedroom apartment with a small crowded living room and a little kitchen/eating area. He walked into his room then to the bathroom looked in the mirror and turned around turning the shower on. He removed his clothing and stepped into the shower that was already filling the entire room with hot steam. As Inuyasha was lathering the shampoo through his hair he began to think

'I am such an idiot, how could I just let my feelings get the better of me…I hardly even know Kagome for a day and I am already catching her when she falls and standing up for her to her stepfather. I don't know if she understands if I am just leading her on..i don't even know what I am feeling!' he sighed. 'Something tells me that this is only going to lead to trouble. Please…don't let Kagome fall on love with me, I don't want to hurt her.' Inuyasha eyes widened and he rinsed out his hair. 'There I go again, all this love crap is finally getting to me. Maybe I shouldn't go to school tomorrow; gove me a chance to clear my head.'

Inuyasha finished rubbing through the conditioner and turned off the tap. Stepping out he wrapped the towel around his waist and finished we his nightly routine. As he walked out of the bathroom and slipped on a pair of comfortable sweat pants the phone rang.

'Who calls me this late?' he wondered, picking up the cordless phone on the nightstand. Clicking the talk button nervously he spoke.

"Hello?" he asked.

The person on the other line paused then replied. "Inuyasha!"

"…"

"Inuyasha, it is me, Iziyoi, you mother."

Inuyasha hesitated then answered in shock, "mom? How did you find me?"

"That's besides the point, why did you run away…you have responsibly here at the castle, you can't just abandon that and leave all your problem with us."

Inuyasha didn't reply back, he stayed silent and waited for his mother to carry on. He slowly sat leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor, stretching out his legs.

"We have glorious news, and you need to return immediately-"

Before Iziyoi had a chance to explain Inuyasha interrupted her with controlled anger.

"I am not going back there, running away was the best thing to get me out of that stupid arranged marriage you wanted to put me through. Honestly mother, how long do you think I would last in a room with that bitch, without tearing her head off? I don't want to marry a whore and be miserable as a king ruling a land and being manipulated to do so. The only way to get me back, would be to come and get me, shackle me up and through me in a armored truck and drive me to the palace. Even then I wouldn't cooperate and guaranteed I would run away again."

"Calm down Inuyasha, you have to do what is best for your people."

"But I don't care about that, I thought you wanted me to live a normal life until my time came to rule the land."

"That's true I did want you to live a normal life-"

"Yes, and you went back on your word and said I had to marry this Kikyo person to join the two regions. You betrayed me mother and that's why I ran away to do what you told me to do, live a normal life, and I am doing exactly that."

"I'm sorry Inuyasha but you have to return. Kikyo's parents have died and they need a king, they need you Inuyasha, I can manage to give you a month or two to before you have to come back. But we need you, you have respo-"

"Responsibilities…I know…"

"I'll keep in touch ok?"

"Sure…whatever."

A soft click sounded on connection and Inuyasha pressed the off button. He reached up and placed it on the counter or the kitchen; with serious frustration he banged his head on the wall a few times before picking himself up again. He walked to his bedroom, set his alarm and crawled into bed.

Quietly he murmured the word, "Responsibilities…" before slowly drifting off into sweet slumber.

The next day at school. History Class.

Each group of two was quietly going over what they had researched the day before and where working on their presentations due the following Wednesday. Kagome and Inuyasha where found in the school library looking up more history about the project. Inuyasha would casually look up at Kagome as she proofread her notes.

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha snapped out of his daydream and answered as if nothing was wrong.

"Mmmm?"

"I'm sorry about my stepfather yesturday, he can be really rude at times."

"At times?"

"Ok so I underestimated it, but my mom loves him so I have to deal with it…I hate my stepfather, he is beyond creepy."

"What do you mean?"

"I can trust you right?"

Inuyasha was hesitant. He had no idea where this was going.

"You consider us good friends by now I assume right."

"How does this relate to your step dad?"

"Just answer the question."

"Well maybe I shouldn't if you're going to be that way about it."

Kagome narrowed her eyes and so did Inuysaha.

"I not backing down." Inuysaha said gruffly.

"ok well do you consider us good friends or not:

"We have only known each other for a day Kagome."

"I understand that."

"Yeah, I guess I consider us 'good' friends."

Kagome smiled and gave out a small giggle. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and looked at her suspiciously.

"Spit it out already."

This comment wiped the smile off her face and Kagome looked at him irritably.

"Your so impatient."

"Whatever, just get on with it."

"Ok, well you know how Takashi pushed me down yesterday."

Inuysaha became worried he knew this wasn't going to be a good thing. His facial expression changed from stubbornness to that of concern. Her eyes had been covered by her bangs and she was fidgeting with pen. He could hear her breathing deeper and gritting her teeth. He thought about how someone who acted to perfect could have so many worries in life. It took her a long time before she got the courage and confessed. Finally she took a breath.

"He's really controlling…I can't go anywhere without him knowing where I am and when I ignore him he grabs me."

"Kagome that's abuse."

"I know, but I have always thought that he is just looking out for me. Also, other times he is kind of nice. But like I said I deal with it because my mom is happy, when my original father passed away she was really sad."

"Oh."

"Inuyasha you are the only one who I have ever told this to. I'm trusting you."

"Ok…"

"Thank you." A small tear found it way down Kagome's frail cheek but she wiped it away and smiled.

The lunch bell rang and the two of them packed up their books and headed to Kagome's Locker. They stood there and chatted a while before bother went separate ways to meet up with other friends. Kagome look back as she walked through the doors to the cafeteria and smiled. She turned to her friends and chatted before going to her regular table. As Inuyasha turned the corner to the corridor to get to his locker he looked over his shoulder as well and watched Kagome chat wither her friends.

'I have never met anyone like her.'

Inuyasha looked down at his History book with a grin as he turned the corner and walked to his locker.

I am so sorry it took me so long to update. I have been kinda overwhelmed with math homework and friends and stuff that I just haven't had time. But I hope this makes up for my lack of commitment. I hope to update sooner next time and look forward to all the reviews. Oh and thanx to those who did review, i hope i did not disapoint you in a any way, if there are errors please point them out and i will fix them for the next chapter. ;)
