After much time

The beauty finally gives in

And sleeps with the beast.

Chapter 2: The Heat Rises

Kagome hummed lightly looking around her new room it was... horrific to say the least. Dead boar heads framed the walls, which were painted a solumn grey.

Kagome sweat dropped. "These people... really love the dark don't they..."

A deep voice snickered from behind her. "We're not that bad, but don't go in Anju's room, all her creepy little dolls could scare you."

Kagome turned to see the one with the blue hair -Ren wasn't it?- leaning against her doorframe, looking at her with half lidded eyes, and where was the boy's shirt?

Her eyebrows darted so high up on her brow that they were hidden by her bangs. "Huh? What are you doing in here?"

She saw one fang dip out and a drop of blood fell from his lips, which he licked and made disappear... it was really quite weird. 'Wonder what that guy's problem is.'

"I didn't notice it before, but your blood... smells simply delightful."

Kagome blinked at him, eyebrows raising even further -though at this point you couldn't see that-. "Um... MOM!" She yelled, and Amelia darted into the room.

"What is it my lovely?"

Kagome pointed at Ren, -who her mother had conveniantly forgotten to barge into when she entered-. "He's creeping me out!"

Amelia blinked at her, looked at Ren, grinned, then took off her shoe and very deliberately threw it right at Kagome's face.

Kagome squeaked dodging, but Amelia was already out the door, shoving Ren inside as she went and grabbing the handle.

Before the door was completely shut, she poked her head through and grinned even wider at Ren. "I'm locking the door so you two can be alone."

Kagome blushed a deep red. "MOM! IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS HELPING!"

Amelia pouted. "Well, my mother did it to me and Terrence, and look at us. He sucked the blood right out of me!" She squeaked in delight and grinned once again at Ren. "You two kids have fun!"

She winked and closed the door, and Kagome jumped at it trying to pry it open. "MOTHER! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU YOU STUPID LITTLE-"

She heard a delighted laugh in the hall. "Oh Carrera! We're finally going to be family!"

Kagome paled and her cheeks burned. "KAZUMA! KAZUMA! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Footsteps started to make their way towards the door, but paused. "Um... hey mom what are you doing here?"

"Let her out! I dare you, you know I still haven't forgiven you for what you did earlier!"

Kagome could almost imagine how his face paled. "B-But... M-Mommy! I just wanted to give you a hug like a good s-"

crack!

Kagome winced inwardly. "You little brat! After everything I've done for you how could you hug me!"

Kagome leaned against the door. Was he gonna rat her out?

Nope, but it sound like her dear brother was crying softly... must have been fake tears. That explains it. "But I'm such a good son!"

"Oh can it with the tears, I should have never let you take drama lessons!" Kagome heard Kazuma laughing outside the door. "Sorry Kit Kat!"

Kagome sighed, "Great. Just great." She turned to glare at Ren. "Alright what do you want."

Ren grinned laying down comfortably on her bed. "Nice family you have."

Kagome huffed crossing her arms and leaning against the door. "Right. What do you want?"

A yellow eye peaked open. "Just wanted to learn more about you... for instance. Your age? I'm 21 how old are you?"

She looked at him wearily. "I'm 18."

A grin lit up his face. "Really? Well then, my name is Ren Makka."

Kagome's eyes narrowed slightly. "Kagome Sato."

"I think I'll call you Girl Scout."

"I think I'll kill you."

"Go right ahead." He grinned at her, and she matched it with a deep frown. "You sure don't know when to quit do you."

He sat up and made his way toward her, looking much like a lion about to pounce. "I think I do, I just haven't made you angry yet, but you grow increasingly appealing by the minute."

Kagome blinked, what the heck did that mean. 'Stupid jerks like this are so annoying, it stresses me out just thinking about them.'

"What's your preference?"

She looked at him with a wrinkled brow. "Preference?"

He smirked. "Yeah, what kind of blood do you like?"

Kagome blushed, looking down. "I..." 'He's gonna laugh, he's going to laugh so hard when he finds out...'

Her mom stuck her head back through the door. "She hasn't awakened yet dear, so she doesn't have a blood perference."

Kagome grabbed a pillow and threw it at her.

Of course the door slammed shut before it actually hit it, and her 'weapon' dropped to the floor in a useless lump.

Ren resisted the urge to laugh, standing there with a silly smirk like smile on his face.

Kagome hopped onto her bed and shoving her face in the pillow. "You can laugh. Everyone makes fun of me for it." She made a sniffling sound. "Kazuma tells all his friends I'm some sort of weirdo. 'Kit Kat can't even be a proper vampire' they think I'm incompetent!"

The smile deminished from his face as the stress increased in her aura, along with sadness. Karin was going to go crazy soon as well.

"You know Girl Scout... I can make you feel better." He murmured, reaching toward her and brushing the hair from the back of her neck.

Kagome jumped, 'When did he get behind me?' She flipped over and stared at him wide eyed. "What are you-"

"My blood's affinity is stress, I can suck it right out of you. You'll be happy for a long time." 'And I'll be able to get you to go along with anything I want...'

Kagome's eyes bulged even more. "Y-You want to suck my blood... to make me happy?"

He nodded. It was quiet for a few minutes, as Kagome stared into his eyes looking for alternative motive, and finding none.

He was either really good at hiding it or... he was actually being nice. Must be the former, there's no way this was a nice guy.

She heard the sound of happy weeping outside the door. "Oh Terrance honey do you hear that, they're taking their wedding vows. Not til death do they part!"

Kagome blushed, There went that potentially 'Sure you can suck my blood' moment. "MOM! When I get out of here..." She muttered, trying not to be stressed, maybe if she was happy he would leave her alone!

'...But what if in trying to not be stressed I create even MORE stress and make him even more attracted to me?'

That's what seemed to be happening, because Ren leaned down and started sniffing her neck.

Kagome squeaked. "GET AWAY!"

Ducking under him she got over to the chair by the desk in her room. "Can you convince her to let you out of here?" She hissed at Ren, who was in a daze.

Blinking, his drunken yellow eyes struggled to focus on her. "Huh?"

Kagome wanted to hit her head on the wall. "Where's the cocky attitude when you need it." She muttered, sighing.

Of course, Ren chose that moment to snap out of it... and grin at her. "So you DO like me?"

Kagome actually did hit her head that time, and her mother's laughter could be heard from the hall. "Terrence they're just like us!"

"Ah young love." Terrence replied back, and Kagome could just imagine them holding hands and dancing up and down the hall.

Kazuma snorted. "That's not love, it's harrassment. Let me in there mom!"

"What's going on inside Kagome-nii's room?" That was Terra's voice.

Was the whole messed up family outside her door? 'Terra not included, I don't know how those two managed to get one right.'

"Amelia what's going on inside Kagome's bedroom!" Was that Mrs. Carrera?

Kagome's eyes bulged. What was going on out there? Were they having a party she hadn't been invited to?

"Oh my daughter is in there making-"

"Mom locked Kit Kat up in there with your son and is fantisizing about grandchildren!" Kazuma yelled, and Kagome blushed.

'Mother we need to bring you to the hospital. You have something severely wrong with your mind.'

"Miss Carrera, could you please let me out? Maybe? Possibly? PLEASE!" She called, hoping they heard her.

"Oh that poor dear, locked up in a room with Ren! Alone!" Harry too huh?

This is the perfect sob story to tell your grandchildren one day. Oh yes I was locked up in a room alone with a blood sucking perver-

"Am I really that bad." Ren whispered, and Kagome turned to see his face. His eyebrow was raised as he stared at the door with a sweat drop on his face. "I'd swear the world was ending because I was locked up in a room with a girl they don't want me to hit on..."

"Ren you leave that poor girl alone! She's not-" Henry was cut off a yelp releasing from his throat.

Poor guy probably got hit with a shoe, but the question was which crazy mother threw it...? Probably Amelia.

"What he means is you don't have parents consent like we disscussed earlier." Oh, she was wrong, the shoe thrower was Carrera this time.

"He can do whatever he wants, we agree wholeheartedly right Terrence?"

"Yes of course Amelia, Kagome-chan my precious have fun!"

Kagome's eyebrows darted up so high they came clean off her face. "You were talking about me?" Her eyes narrowed as she gave him a glare. "You were talking about me with you mother. What kind of person does that?"

"A person who doesn't want to be hit by another shoe." He muttered back and stiffled the sigh that was about to come out of his lips. "If you're looking for an apology you aren't going to get a sincere one. I'll tell you that, but I'm sorry. How was that?"

Kagome pursed her lips, and sighed, listening to the arguing outside the door. "Well, I'm not going to stay up all day to listen to their ridiculous banter."

She shuffled back to her bed and flopped down next to him. Ignoring his inquiring look.

"You can stay for now, but don't get too close or I'll bite you."

Like a happy puppy he plopped down next to her and quickly fell asleep.

Kagome smiled slightly removed the bangs from his peaceful face. 'Maybe this won't be so bad, living here.' With that thought in mind she fell asleep almost as fast as Ren had.

It was a long day after all, and the nights would only get harder.

Hours later -after Carrera FINALLY managed to pry the key out of Amelia's fingers, only because the Crazy Grandma of the house scared the crudnuggets out of her- they went in the room to find the two sleeping together.

Kagome had unconsciously cuddled up to him, and Ren had put an arm around her.

Harry started crying, and Carrera let out a growl.

Meanwhile, Amelia and Terrance high fived and began talking about grandchildren... again.

Kazuma sweat dropped, and Terra frowned slightly. "Kagome-nii won't be happy when she wakes up."

"Got that right Sis."
