"By the way, Kagome invited me to dinner. Is that okay?"
"Well of course! I hope you like steak."
"Steak?" Inuyasha's mouth watered at the thought of such glotious food. "Steak is great!"
Just then grandpa walked in. "Did someone say steak? I'm starved!"
"Did you win today dad?"
"No." He grumbled. "Those damn old cronnies just keep cheating!"
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa! Guess what!" But Souta's words were cut off when Kagome's hand clamped on his mouth. "mfmmamamafdfjfdmumblemumble." Then Souta bit her hand.
"Ow! you brat!"
Souta started running around the house laughing with Kagome chasing after him.
"Kids these days."
"Oh dad. You were just as bad! Your sister used to tell me all the things you did to her. In fact you were worse when I think about it." Mrs. Higurashi said laughing. Just then Souta ran infront of his grandpa.
"Grandpa, grandpa! Kagome was asleep in her room with a BOY!" Souta fell over laghing and Kagome pounced. As they were wrestling it finally clicked in grandpa's head what Souta had said.
"WHAT?!"
Inuyasha's face turned beet red, Mrs. Higurashi sat back and watched it all, and grandpa turned redder than Inuyasha. "ENOUGH!" Grandpa yelled. And everyone came to a grinding halt. "Now tell me what in the world is going on here!" Just then Kagome fainted, hitting her head on the corner of the kitchen counter.
"Oh my God! Kagome! Are you okay?"
Inuyasha rushed to her side and picked her up. "Get me an icepack, her medicine, and a wet wash cloth. I'll take her upstairs." Then he promptly turned and took her to her room.
"Who in the world is he? What's going on?" Grandpa asked.
"Yeah mom, what's going on?" Souta asked anctiously.
"I'll tell everybody later. Right now i have to go get those things he requested." Then she hurried off. Grandpa and Souta looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
Inuyasha's POV
I'd never seen a house so chaotic. Her familly was crazy, but they were enduring in some ways. I don't know why I continued to stay there. Scratch that. I did know. It was for this weak beautiful little girl. Kagome. Even her name was beauiful. I layed her on her yellow bed and waited for the supplies, and as I sat there I couldn't help but stare.
END POV
Mrs. Higurashi hurried up the stairs carrying her load. When she opened the door she saw Inuyasha quietly gazing at her daughter. "Here you go." Then she looked over at Kagome and quietly said. "She over exerted herself. I should have told them to stop." A single solitary tear rolled down her cheek.
"It wasn't your fault. She'll be okay. You'll see. And when she wakes up..." Inuyasha laughed a little. "She'll have one hell of a headache."
"Should I go get her an asprin? Or maybe that'll enterfeer with her other medicine?"
"Nah. You go explain everything to the guys downstairs. When Kagome awakes I'll get her some asprin if she needs it. You rest."
Mrs. Higurashi sighed. "Yes I better go explain to them or they'll be following you around like expectant puppies...Thank you Inuyasha for all your help."
"No problem."
And Mrs. Higurashi left.
Mrs. Higurashi's POV
Lord where do I start? I headed downstairs agter my little talk with Inuyasha and tried to think of how I even begin to explain to grandpa and Souta everything that happened. I was just thanking my lucky stars that I had Inuyasha to help. Whether he knew it or not, he liked Kagome, and Kagome liked him. Oh well no time to worry, gotta tell grandpa and Souta what happened.
END POV
Mrs. Higurashi took a deep breath, squared her shoulders and walked through the kitchen door. Souta and grandpa were sitting around the bar talking but when she walked in they fell silent and looked at her expectantly.
Finally Souta broke the silence. "Uh mom, what's going on?"
Mrs. Higurashi took a deep breath. "This morning Kagome was running a fever but headed to school anyways..."
"Figures." Souta said rolling his eyes.
Grandpa sushed him. "Anyways. She woke up late so I didn't have time to take her to school and she had to walk. On the way there she passed out and the young man you saw caught her and took her to the emergency room and called me to let lme know. She probably has a vistibular disorder which is caused by an ear infection and if it isn't taken care of Kagome will go deaf. And Inuyasha is going to eat dinner with us and toarrow help me get Kagome to the doctor."
'What can I do to help?" Grandpa asked. "I got it! I'll get her a cat tail to ward of demons that cause sickness!"
"A cat tail? Where ya gonna get that?" Souta asked. Then grandpa slowly looked down and pointed to the family cat, Buyo. "No way! Don't you dare touch him!"
"Grandpa! Don't even think about it!"
"Oh alright then." Grandpa said down heartedly. And Souta bent down and picked up the cat and petted him. "He would have made a great ward though."
Souta glared at him. "Oh well, off to bed. Wake me when dinner's done." And Grandpa left.
"It's okay Souta I'll watch grandpa."
"What is wrong with him?" Souta sighed.
"He's just eccentric honey. Now let's get dinner started."
Kogome's POV
My head was pounding and I knew I was lying on something soft, probably a bed. All I could remember was suddenly getting dizy while chasing Souta around. I knew I had passed out. No longer able to hold my curiosity in check I opened my eyes. When they were fully opened I saw Inuyasha sitting next to my bed and I was in my room.
END POV
"Bout time you opened your eyes."
"Shhhh! My head!" Kagome groaned.
"Hold on." Inuyasha left and went downstairs to get Kagome some asprin. When he got back Kagome was sitting up.
"Here ya go. Take these and then take your medicine."
"Yes Daddy." Kagome said sarcasticly.
"I don't want to be your daddy."
"Then what do you want to be?"
"Maybe I'll tell you one day." He said mysteriously.
"Whatever."
Inuyasha sniffed. "I think I smell dinner. Wanna go down and check? Think you feel well enough?"
As he said this Kagome's stomach rumbled. Kagome blushed and smiled. "oh yeah."
Grandpa's POV
Today had been a long day. I lost my chess match, and when I came home..I learn Kagome went to the emergency room. I hope she'll be okay. I looked around the kitchen waiting for dinner to be served when Kagome and that strange young man walked in. There was something not quite right about him. I looked at him more closely. His eyes, they looked far to old for someone his age, but then again so did Kagome's. Her eyes were made that way by the death of her father, my son. But it wasn't just that, he had a red aura around him constantly. It never changed unless he was around Kagome. Then an amazing thing happened. His aura changed to green! The same as Kagome's! When he went around the others his aura didn't change to theirs. It was only with my grand-daughter. How odd. As I looked closer I noticed what apparantly now one else had. He didn't have any ears! I looked him over trying to find some sort of ears. What happened then took me by surprise. His hat moved when someone talked to him! Then it clicked. This boy...Inuyasha...was a demon! Not full blooded mind you, because of his aura, but a demon none the less. Inuyasha. I thought about his name for a bit...Inuyasha means dog demon!!!
