A Long Walk Threw The Rose Garden Street

He bent down and gently kissed Kagomes cheek as the red rose's peddles fluttered around them along with blue one's. Kagome was shocked!

'Hadn't...hadn't he come from behined me? And...and across the street??' Kagome blushed bright red as his arm came around her waste.

'Ah! How cute she's blushing!' Inu-yasha smiled and squeezed her tighter to him.

'He, he's very confident.' Kagome thought to herself then remembered she was being followed still by the creep she could hear him.

'He still hasn't gone a way? I thought once he saw she was meeting somone he'd give up. Guess not.'

Kagome smiled at her rescuer and said,

"I'm so glad I ran in to you to! I thought I was goin to have to walk there all by myself!" Her smile widend as it remained looking up at him for a moment and in that moment Inu-yasha was breath taken.

'What, what a beautiful smile!' She rapt her arms around him in return and hugged him tightly. Inu-yasha blushed deaply.

"So how was your day?" Kagome asked casually. Inu-yasha responded as if they'd known eachother for a very long time and it was just natural.

"It was fine! How about your's?"

"It was okay but it just got better I can tell you that!"

A small smile spred across Inu-yasha's face as he looked down at the younger girl hugging him, he saw she was also grining. 'We should be an acting team!' He thought to himself half joking.

'He's so mature! All the other guy's I know probablly being a white knight or not would have tried to grab my ass by now!' She looked up at him, 'But he looks like he's older, maybe 21?' her eyes meet his. She blushed when he didn't look away.

Kagome realised she was staring and looked away, but she could still feal his eyes on her.

'What strange colored eyes! There so beautiful, so captivating and yet sad! Who is this girl?'

Kagome glanced back up at him nervously, when she saw his eyes still hadn't been removed from her, she blushed deeper and looked back down. Her arms had moved, Inu-yasha's arm was still around her waist and her's had moved back to her side's but she was leaning in to him making it look more natural.

'I now what he's probablly thinking how strange but dazzling my eyes are. I've always wondered about my own eyes as well! What regular person has saphire blue eyes with streeks of silver? It's unatural, not to mention none of my other siblings have either of the color my eyes are. I wonder who in my background had them?'

Inu-yasha noticed that her eyes had foged over, he didn't know why and didn't want to pressure her for answeres when he barelly knew her and especially with this creep still following them.

'Why is he so persistant?' Inu-yasha was not liking this at all.

"So what..." Kagome had began to say something but then,

"So Higurashi you got yourself a white knight? Were's his armer?" the person who had been following them spoke in a deep loud voice while cracking his nuckles in a fist.

Kagome stoped, Inu-yasha confused at her sudden reaction to the voice.

"Umm..."

She turned he ended up turning with her not removing his hand from her waist.

"So Higurashi you gonna come peacfully 'ta Hojo or am I ganna have 'ta take you by force?" The guy asked he was slaming his fist in to his other hand repetedly. Kagome took a step forward but Inu-yasha cradled her to his side so he stayed inbetween her and the man.

The man was about 5 '9 and looked to weigh around 200 somethin pounds in strength alone, he had darkesh skin, blond hair and brown eyes..

"phh! You think that some white knight without no armer is ganna be able 'ta take me? I'll make sure your whit knight looks at his pretty face in the mirror tomorrow and will look like minced meat!"

Inu-yasha was about to jump at him for not only insolting himself but also Ms.Higurashi.

'Higurashi?' he thought and paused only a seconed before he started to move in again but then the girl unattached herself from his hip and punched the guy's jaw and he stumbled backwards.

"Hijiki how many times do I have to tell you I don't belong to Hojo! I only belong to myself!" her face showed rage as she put her hand on her chest to show she ment only her and no-one else.

"Ya Kagome, 'ya told Hojo the same thing that only made him want you more." He rubbed his jaw as he got up. "Damn you can pack a killer punch for a bitch!"

Inu-yasha stood there in an instent of shock.

'Kagome Higurashi? From the authors channel earlier?'

"No duh Sherlock!" Kagome in the instant he paused to rub his jaw she stepped on his foot and hit him again harder on the jaw. "Now could you do me the favor of staying down?" as Kagome hit his jaw so did Inu-yasha's.

He couldn't take him insulting her for some odd reason.

Kagome looked up at him and he looked down at her. They just stood there staring at eachother for a moment, then Kagome blushed and looked away.

"Sorry for getting you involved tonight!" she scratched the back of her head still a light pink.

"I think I got myself in to this one!" He said in a kinder toune than he had meent. He looked at the man he'd just nocked out 'Who the hell was he?' he looked back at Kagome 'What does she have to do with this? And this guy? Hojo?'

Kagome looked down at her hand.

"Oh no!" she exclaimed. He looked up from his thoughts.

"Whats wrong?"

"I, I had a blue rose in my hand!" Inu-yasha showed some recognition of the pettles that had been floting around them, 'Oh so thats were the blue pettles had come from.' Some memories began to stur inside him.

"It was so beautiful it reminded me of, of something!" She looked down and hugged her hands to her chin. "I had fownd a whole buch of them next to some red poppies they, they were beautiful!"

'A blue rose? Also, also reminds her of something? What?'

"I'll help you fined it! If we can't fined the flower maybe we can fined the bush." Inu-yasha smiled at her completely forgeting about Hijiki, the man he had nocked out.

"Thank you!" Kagome's face lit up again in to a smile. Inu-yasha felt the warmth of the smile from were he stood.

"I don't think I introduced myself properlly. I'm Kagome Higurashi, and you are?" She put her hand and opened her eyes looking at him with a questioning face.

"Oh," he took her hand "I'm Inu-yasha!" he shook her hand.

"Well Inu-yasha It's a pleasure to meet you!" Her face broke out back in to her happy grin.

Inu-yasha couldn't help but return a smile.

------------------

"Hey Kagome are these the flower's?" Inu-yasha pointed to a bush of blue rosses next to a garden full of red poppies.

"Yes those are them! Thank you!" She ran over and picked one smelling it. Inu-yasha smiled he had also lost his red rose.

"Smell it! It smells wonderfull!" Inu-yasha bent down adn sniffed the blue rose.

"It smells beautifull!" Kagome smiled and they both turned and started walking back down the street.

"So Inu-yasha, can you do me one more favore? I'll be forever in you're deat!"

Inu-yasha looked over at her. Was this about her book?

"What is it?"

"Well, I'm suppose to meet my older brotheres at the resturant the Cat's Buteq by the river do you know how to get there from here?"

"Oh," Inu-yasha defenetly knew how to get there, "Is that all? I can do that."

"Thank you yet again!" Kagome said as her cheeks flustered a bit "I'll make it up to you honest I will!"

"Oh you don't have to!"

"Oh but I want to!"

Inu-yasha smiled as he looked at Kagome who seemed so eager to please.

"So, do you live around here?" Kagome found herslef asking.

"Ya, but It's only temporary. I'm moving out to Tokyo to take some classes at a universaty for the nervous system of deamons, half deamons and humans. I'll also be taking some other classes." Inu-yasha paused 'Why am I telling her this again?' Kagome smiled he blushed. 'Thasts why! And she's so easy to talk to it's kindof nice getting to talk to somone like this so frealy!'

"Wow that's awsome! So are you a demon?" she asked a spark of curiosity in her shimmering eyes under the full moon.

"Well I'm a half demon but I have all the strength, and abilities of a full deamon."

"Wow that's so cool!" She looked at him with aww 'So that's how he got from all the way back there and across the street and behined me to right next to me in about a millo seconed. Inu-yasha smiled.

'I didn't think she would be so amased!'

"Oh that's right," the smile on her face faded "your Inu-yasha and also a deamon! I'm writin a story about a deamon named Inu-yasha in the feudal area of Japan, during the Sengoku area, and well I was wondering if I could still use your name? I didn't think there were a lot of deamons left in the world and I thought none of them would have that name so I..."

"I know I saw you on T.V right before I went out tonight!"

"Oh I didn't know they were going to put it on again in the evening!" Kagome blushed, a little embaressed and pushed her hair back out of her face.

"It's fine with me if you use my name It couldn't be used by a better person!" He looked at her smiling "But your going to have to let me read each book before you publish it!" he warned.

"Okay!" Kagome smiled like a little child who had just been given a grand reward for being a good child.

As they walked farther along Kagome saw a red rose bush. She stopped, turned and walked back to it.. Inu-yasha looked at her a bit confused. She picked one and returned to his side a little bit up the road from were the bush stood.

"Didn't you have a red rose in your hand? I meen that's were the red pettles came from right?" she held out the rose. Inu-yasha looked at her a little suprised then he smiled.

"Ya I had a red rose, thank's!"

------------------------------------

"So then I told him to get lost he wasn't track material he didn't belive me! What a loser to not belive me!"

"Who would when you tell the competetor that they aren't worth your time? It usually makes them mad then they just want to win more!"

"Thats true Bankotsu but that's the whole reason why I do it!"

"Bankotsu you did tell mom 7 right?"

"Naraku, Kagomes 15 1/2, she's a teenager do you really think she may even still want to be hanging out with her older brotheres?"

Koga and Naraku just looked at him like he was crazy. Bankotsu sighed.

"Yes I told mother 7 o'clock Kagome's just probablly running late!"

"Kay that's all I wanted to know!" Naraku replied a little cunsurned for his younger sister who was usually always on time.

Bankotsu hadn't meent what he said he loved his baby sister more then enything, but she was at that age were she may not want to hang out with her older brotheres.

Koga yawned and stretched while Naraku just crossed his arms and stood there. Bankotsu decided to sit down on the log beside him he put his hands in his black coats pockets.

Bankotsu was a lawyer and a proffesor at a universaty in Tokyo so he didn't get to see his sister very often. Kagome was his only sister that he really got a long with the otheres he just didn't get. So this made her his favorite. He always wore his black suite with a long red or green tie, he had decided to weare the green one because Kagome said it looked better on him. Sometimes though he would end up subsetutting for a class in some tipe of science because he also had his degre to be a doctor, while teaching thouse classes he'd wear a long white lab coat over his suite.

Naraku was a machanique, and enginere. He owned his own little company that for it's size was very popular all thanks to his knowladge of how to handle machinary. Naraku would usually wear a colored work t-shirt, a purple ban-dana and a pair of old jeans along with maybe an old short sleeved flannel but tonight he wore a pair of brand new jeans a nice white t-shirt with a long sleeve purple flannel.

Koga was a track star and athlete. He always had been and probablly always would be. He was fast, strong, cunning and quick wether in words, arguing with his brotheres and apponents, or on his feet. He liked to wear the usual shorts and t-shirt (hardly ever t-shirt though) for his running and around the house stuff outside he'd usually were the same or with jeans. Tonight he was wearing a pair of black jeans and a black track jacket with white stripes down the side, it was zipped only about an inch up to reveal a white t-shirt and a white shell necklass around his neck.

"Hey there she is!" Koga said pushing himself up from leaning on the tree he had been leaning on. "Hey Kago..."

"Who's that guy?" Naraku asked.

"He looks way to old to be her boyfriend!" Bankotsu noted.

"He better just be a friend!" Koga said cracking his nuckles.

"He better or else were going to have to make sure he's good enought for our little sister!" Naraku added. All of Kagome's brotheres were over protective of her emphasize over!

Bankotsu just stared at the man with his little sister as they came closer.

"I know that man!"

Koga and Naraku looked at him.

"What?!"

"I think I at least have meet him before."

Koga and Naraku looked at eachother then looked back at them coming over the small hill.

"Thats the rose garden path we use to take!"

"We never took it with Kagome though!" Naraku noted. Koga steped forward going to head there way.

"Why don't we wait till they get over here? Or until that guy does something to our darling little sister!" Koga went back to leaning on the tree and Naraku relaxed and crossed his arms back across his chest.

"If he does enything to her I'll kill him!" all three brotheres watched the two approching like hawks waiting for the kill.

----------------

"Hahahah! You did that to your older brother? Hahaha! I can't see the famouse modle and movie star Inu-Taisho having his little brother doing that!"

"I know! No one can picture him siting there at age 8 naked and then being pelted by his little brother with an arm load of ink and water balloons!"

"His sences are suppose to be involnrable to get past! But now I see why he has such sharp scences! I think he owes it all to you!"

"hmm..I guess!"

Kagome was grining she hadn't talked to someone like this out of her familly ever!

Inu-yasha smiled thinking to himself. 'I love her laugh! And her smile is heavenly! She's just so easy to talk to, it's amasing!'

"Oopse!" Kagome tripped. Inu-yasha moved quickly and caught herby her waist.

"Carfull! It's a steep hill!"

Kagome broke out blushing.

"Th...Thank you!"

"No problem! I would never live it down if I just let a beautiful girl like you fall!"

Kagome blushed a deeper red.

-------------------

They saw Kagome fall.

"Kagome!" Koga sat up and started running that way before Bankotsu could stop him.

"Oh!" Koga stopped as he saw the silver haired boy catch her.

"She's save thank goodness!" Naraku sighed "That would have been a nasty fall!"

--------------

Kagome looked away from him blushing, he still hadn't let her go from the waist and was looking at her intently.

"Oh," she said as she noticed her brothers "there they are!" she waved.

"Who?" Inu-yasha asked his arm still around her waist but his eyes looked up to see who she ment.

"My brotheres were meating for dinner!"

------------

"He can let go of her waist now!" Koga muttered with violent intent.

"Eny time now you perverted maniac!" Naraku added

"Hitting on a highschooler, the shame!" Bankotsu said getting up.

---------

"Oh!" Inu-yashas eyes caught the three dark haired boys standing at the base of the hill by the restaurant.

'I feal murderes intent.' he thought as he unrapped his arm from Kagomes waist. He then continued down the hill slowly behined a fast going Kagome.

"Koga!" Kagome called running up to her brother and embrassing him.

"Long time no see kiddo!" he responded swinging her in his arms and hugging her tightly.

"Way to long!" Kagome responded smiling. "Naraku, Bankotsu!" she ran in to her twin brotheres arms.

"Uph! You smell so nice!" Naraku noticed.

"She always smells nice!" Bankotsu commented.

"Were's Jenkotsu?"

"Oh he couldn't make it, but he sends his regards." Naraku told her.

'Thank god!' Bankotsu thought as he loosened his tie a bit.

"So who's your silver haired friend?" Koga asked his eyes narrowing as he pointing his thumb at Inu-yasha.

"Oh forgive me!" she said walking over and putting her hand on Inu-yasha's back.

"This is Inu-yasha! Inu-yasha saved me from some dude!"

Inu-yasha blushed and scratched behined his doggy ear.

"Well actually she didn't need me to save her she's a really strong young woman!" Inu-yasha commented.

Kagome blushed then remembered she hadn't introduced her brotheres.

"These are my twin older brothers Naraku and Bankotsu."

"It's a pleasure to meet you both!" Inu-yasha said shaking there hands.

"And this is my third oldest brother Koga!"

Koga set out his hand Inu-yasha took it.

"Koga? As in Koga Higurashi? The famous track star?"

Koga smiled.

"You a fan?"

Inu-yasha was stunned at his good luck.

"Yes! I'm a huge fan! I'v followed you since you started your carrer!"

Koga grined.

'Maybe this guy isn't so bad but I still better keep an eye on him!'

"I think I like this kid!"
