Chapter 22-Cat and Mouse
A/N: I hope you are enjoying the story so far and I hope to hear what you have to say about my story. I would like to know what you all think so please let me know.
The three of them could do nothing but stare at the some teenage boy. He knew that they would be in shock but he didn't think that they would take it this hard. I mean everyone was already expecting the two of them to get married but he didn't think that they would be this shocked. After growing tired of the three of them watching him, Sota took in a deep breath and asked, "What? I know that you all are expecting those two to get back together."
"Sota dear, we really shouldn't jump to conclusions." Ms. Higurashi was heard.
"Not only that but Kagome told him that she needed time to think. I don't think that the two of them are going to get back together anytime soon." Sango added.
"Sango, I think that the kid has a point. I mean do you really want to see Inuyasha like that again." Miroku replied as he took to the kid's side.
"Like what?"Sota asked.
"Don't worry about it. Ms. Higurashi could you please come with us so that we can go and talk to Sesshomaru about all this; we need to hurry with this if we want to keep Kagome safe." Sango asked.
"Sota, you have to stay with your grandfather and start dinner." Ms. Higurashi said as she stood up. "We can leave now; I want to get this over with before my daughter gets home."
"Understood, come on Miroku lets go." Sango said as she stood up.
"Oh, right. I'll call Sesshomaru from the car." Miroku stated.
"Stay safe." Sota called out.
"We will." Ms. Higurashi called out as she walked out of the house. 'If I can will help protect my daughter just as a mother should do.'
"Damn it Kagome…I said that I didn't fucking mean it." Inuyasha growled as he tried to get her to speak to him.
"Inuyasha…sit." She hissed before she dove into the water yet again. 'I'm not coming back up until he comes and gets me…I already know how I can stay down here so I can just scare him.' She thought.
"I'm not falling for that wench; now get out of the fucking water." Inuyasha growled as he kept his eyes on the water. After five minutes of watching the air bubbles reach the surface, Inuyasha began to worry. The air bubbles had stopped and there was still non sing of Kagome. "Shit." He growled before he threw his self into the water.
Once she had heard his body enter the water, Kagome quickly swam to the top of the pool and quickly got out of the water. Once she was sure that he wasn't going to calm up until she called him, Kagome took in a deep breath and yelled out, "Inuyasha!"
Within seconds Inuyasha had jumped out of the water and had landed right next to Kagome. Before she even knew it, Inuyasha was sniffing her and holding her down as he buried his face into her neck. Before she could even ask what the hell he was doing she heard his relief filled voice say, "Thank god you're alright."
"Inuyasha…I…I…I just freaked out when I didn't see you come up." She replied as she tried to cover up her guilt.
"Lair…I know what you were trying to do…but still…don't ever scare me like that again." He growled as he quickly pinned her arms down.
"Uh…Inuyasha." Kagome whispered as she bit back a moan.
"Kagome…you should go and take a bath. You said that you wanted to make dinner." Inuyasha growled as he fought his inner demon. He had smelled the spike in her scent and had to fight the urge to take her then and there.
"Uh…yeah…but you have to let go of me first." Kagome said as she struggled to stand up.
"Right…I'll go and take a bath also. If you need anything just call me." Inuyasha said before he quickly left her alone in the pool room.
"Ok…that was weird…but I don't mind." Kagome told herself out loud as she stood up and made her way to her room to go and take a bath.
Once she was sure that he wouldn't be able to feel her power, Kagome closed her eyes and began to focus on Kikiyo and the demons of the shikon jewel. She knew that they had some link with her and she knew that she would be able to call for them just as they called for her but she had no idea how to find the link. 'If only I knew where they would have hid it.' She thought as she opened her eyes only to find herself in a bubble of water. "Great…just great." She hissed out.
"Oi wench hurry up! I'm hungry!" Inuyasha was heard as he walked passed her room.
"Bit me!" Kagome yelled out as she began to get out of the tub. Just as she was about to wrap her towel around her body, her bathroom door was throw open as a demon Inuyasha stormed in. She had no idea that what she had said give his inner demon permission to be free. Before Kagome could even say or do anything, she was pinned to the wall as she heard his cold voice say, "And just where do you want me to bit you?" as he began to nip her neck.
"Inu…Inuyasha? What's going on?" Kagome asked as she tried to ignore the knots that were forming in her stomach.
"You're the one that told me to bit you. Tell me…where should I bit you?" he growled as he dug his claws into her wrist.
"Inuyasha…your hurting me." Kagome hissed as she looked up to make eye contact with him.
However all she got as a reply was a low growl that clearly told her to stand down and to let him do what he wanted to do. However Kagome had no intentions of doing so; instead, Kagome made eye contact and smiled before she said, "Inuyasha if you don't turn back to normal I'm going home and I will forget about giving you a second chance."
"Do you honestly think that I will let you go so easily? Stupid bitch…if you don't submit I'll make you." He growled.
"That's it…Inuyasha sit. SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT BOY!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome yelled as she used her miko energy to keep him from bringing her down with him.
Once she was sure that he wasn't going to get up, Kagome quickly covered herself back up and ran back into her room only to realize that she was already in her room. 'Where am I suppose to go now? He's going to come after me once he gets up. Inuyasha still isn't himself.' Kagome thought as she could still feel his demonic aura. 'I got it…the Tetsusiga…now I have to get to Inuyasha's room.' She realized as she quickly moved toward her door.
Just as she was about to reach the door, Inuyasha appeared in front of her with blood red eyes and a low dangerous growl. Kagome slowly took two steps back before she waited for him to approach her. Once she was sure that she would be able to open the door enough to leave, she took in a deep before she said, "You have three choices…move, turn back or eat dirt."
"I chose none…now stay still bitch." Inuyasha growled as he reached out for her.
"Inuyasha sit." Kagome hissed as she used the air around Inuyasha to pull him down faster and harder. 'I'm sorry but I have to do this.' She thought as she made a run for it. Once she was out of her room, Kagome ran to Inuyasha's room and slammed the door shut. She still wasn't sure if she wanted Inuyasha to know about her other powers so she sealed the door as she looked for the Tetsusiga. 'Damn it…where the hell did he leave it.' She thought as she ran around the room.
"Looking for something?" a cold voice was heard.
"Uh…yeah, I was just wondering if I could bower your fur of the fire rat…I'm really cold and I know that you are a good provider." Kagome whispered as she fell to the floor with shivers.
Inuyasha stared at the one girl that he had accepted. Truth be told he had hated Kikiyo because of she wanted his other half to do. After a few seconds of thinking he turned around and said, "Stay there."
"Thank you." She whispered as she closed her eyes. 'If he finds out he finds out but I can always say that I used my miko powers.' She thought as she began to urge the air around the room to find the sword she was looking for and to bring it to her.
Once she had locked eyes with him, Kagome smile and accepted the hairo as she kept her eyes locked with his. She knew that she would have to catch him of guard and knew that she would have to let him look at her as she tied the hairo around her. 'I just hope with works.' She thought as she said, "I could use your help with this." in a husky voice.
"Fine, I'll help you with it." He growled out in lust as he pinned her to the wall behind her.
"I'm trying to get into it not out of it." Kagome stated as she tried to get him to wrap the hairo around her.
"I see you look better with it off." He growled out as he cut the towel to shreds.
'Got you.' She thought as she quickly pulled back and yelled out, "SIT!"
Once the hanyou was on the floor, Kagome slammed the Tetsusiga against his passed out form. Once she was sure that he was asleep, Kagome went back to her room and got dressed. Once she was dressed, Kagome walked down to the kitchen and hoped that the scent of food would help him wake up to his usual self. 'I should make some ramen.' She thought.
Ms. Higurashi followed her daughter's friends as she walked into the giant building. She knew that he was a business man but she had no idea that she had no idea if she would be able to convince him of her son's plan. Once they were in the office, she turned to her soon to be son in law and bowed as she turned to him and said, "I hope that I am not a burden to you but I must speak to you."
"Family is never a burden to me. Please have a seat." Sesshomaru was heard as Sango and Miroku walked out of the office.
Once they were gone, Ms. Higurashi turned to the tall man and asked, "Why do you see me as family when we are not related by blood?" 'I want to see if he gives me an answer that will meet my needs.'
"You are family because you accepted my brother as your son. Now what is it that I can do for you?" Sesshomaru replied.
"I need your help in protecting my daughter." She answered.
"I see, well she and your family are already under protection and you have nothing to worry about." Sesshomaru stated.
"You see I would feel better if my daughter was living with Inuyasha; just until you all have found who it is that is after my daughter." She explained.
"I see, how do you expect this to occur without your daughter suspecting anything?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You and I can set up an arranged marriage between the two of them so that Kagome can be looked after and so that you don't have to have that many of your family looking after my daughter. She no longer goes to school and she doesn't have a job. So long as Inuyasha had a dojo in his home she will be fine." Ms. Higurashi explained.
"I see, well I shall have the proper paper work ready by the end of the day. Shippo will stop by tomorrow so that you can sing the papers." Sesshomaru answered as he stood up to walk her out of his office.
"Thank you very much for your help. I am glad to know that you have changed for the better." Ms. Higurashi stated.
"How long have you known of me?" Sesshomaru asked in shock.
"Kagome told me that you and Inuyasha didn't start off in the best of ways. But I remember that she told me that you would later regret it and that you would later help Inuyasha as you brother and that you would see him as your equal." She answered as she smiled at him. "I'm glad that she was right. You are a wonderful man."
"Thank you." He replied as he bowed to show her how much he truly respected her.
