"AAAAHHHH!!!!"
Kagome sat up so quickly that she thought her head would snap off. She took in a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. The cat hanyou looked down beside herself to see a sleeping Inu-Yasha. His eyes were closed and no purple stripes were on his cheeks. He looked as if none of this had happened.
"None of this had happened," Kagome breathed out, followed with a sigh. "Oh, I wish that was true, but I know it's not." Without warning she felt stirring coming from beside her. Kagome looked down so see Inu-Yasha's eyes flutter open. The dog hanyou had a glazed look in his eyes as he sat up. Inu-Yasha groaned slightly and rubbed his forehead with his hand.
"Inu-Yasha lay back down!" Kagome commanded, pushing the startled hanyou down on his back. "You'll get dizzy if you get up so quickly! I just realized that right now." The cat hanyou fell down beside Inu-Yasha, dizziness swarming over her like angry bees on a rampage. Kagome glanced over at Inu-Yasha and a small smile formed on her face. She leaned in closer towards him and snuggled her face into his shoulder. Inu-Yasha blushed slightly and then did what we thought he would never do. He placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her away from him. Kagome gave him a puzzling look.
On seeing her confused face, Inu-Yasha said, "I don't want to turn into a youkai again. You doing anything affectionate might trigger the blood."
"Oh," Kagome mumbled, looking away from him and sighing. "So it did actually happen. Is this- is this what happened to my sister?"
Inu-Yasha swallowed hard, and was about to say something when Kagome spoke up.
"And don't try to avoid the subject."
The dog hanyou did not gulp this time. He looked directly over at Kagome, even though she was facing away. "Yes. Except...that time...I actually managed to do the whole thing to her, if I remember correctly." Kagome forced in her sob, even though tears were starting to form at the edge of hair covered eyes.
"Oh, I see," was all she could utter at the moment. Kagome continued to stare down at the ground. Inu-Yasha let out a sigh and scooted over closer to the cat hanyou.
"I'm sorry Kagome," he mumbled, a bit of shame ringing through his tone. "I didn't mean for it to happen. You...you saw me as a youkai, you saw that I can't control myself in that stage. The blood lust is just too...overwhelming." Inu-Yasha sighed and growled a bit; more to him then her. "This is friggen annoying me though."
Kagome heaved out a deep sigh and rested her chin in her hands. "Same here."

Monster held in his breath as he hid right around the corner of the room. If he had taken one more step, Inu-Yasha and Kagome would've surely noticed him. Since Inu-Yasha had at least seen him once, now Inu-Yasha could see him whenever; in both forms. The goblin sighed a sigh that really came out as a gurgle.
"Monster, hurry it up already," Naraku growled from behind the goblin, turning his head left and right. "The dog's parents are sure to come home soon."
"Yes masters, sorry masters," Monster quietly apologized, looking up at Naraku for a moment before peering back at the couple. "So all Monster's has to do is unleash doggie's youkai blood?"
"Yes, you should know! Now do it already you worthless-"
"Sorry masters, Monster will go right away," the goblin muttered through clenched teeth. He was honestly starting to get a bit annoyed by his master. Monster chanted something quietly under his breath and scurried into the room. He was usually invisible to the naked eye, but only people with great power could see him. Unless, that is, he put a invisibility spell unto himself...
The goblin scuttled towards Inu-Yasha and Kagome without a sound, holding a small sutra in it's hand. There was a spell on it that would seal Inu-Yasha's human blood in it for good. As he tip-toed to the two (a/n: say that ten times fast XD), Monster accidentally scuffed his toe claw across the carpet. Kagome noticed it right away.
"Inu-Yasha," she whispered to the dog hanyou, not taking her eyes off the line. "Look." Inu-Yasha followed her eyes and widened them when he saw it.
"Monster," he muttered under his breath.
Meanwhile, Naraku slapped his hand onto his forehead and groaned. 'That goblin is such a BAKA!'
"You little shit!" Naraku snarled, turning the corner without thinking. He stomped over to the goblin and smacked him, making the invisibility spell disappear.
"Who are you?" Inu-Yasha demanded, placing Kagome behind him for protection.
Naraku grinned, his crimson eyes hovering over the couple. "Oh, so sorry to be so rude. I must introduce myself. I'm Naraku Onigumo."
"OK then, what're you doing here?!"
"I'm Monster's master, of course," he answered coolly, before glowering down at Monster. "But this worthless garbage has no more meaning to me! He can't accomplish anything!" Naraku gave Monster a fierce kick. He missed the look of annoyance that passed the goblin's face. Monster also let go of the sutra.
"Hey, I know what that is," Kagome said, eyeing the spell. She panicked. "It's a spell that's supposed to steal a hanyou's youkai blood! They were trying to turn you youkai!" She turned to face Naraku. "Why though?"
"Because Kagome, everything that happened in your life was because of me."
The cat hanyou's face dropped. "Huh?"
"I was the one who started that war so many years ago. I was the one that told Kouga about your father and giving him the idea of slaves," Naraku answered, grinning wickedly.
"You... you were the one who made my sister get taken away...you were the one who made me get raped...you made my father kill myself...YOU were the one who made my life a living HELL!" Kagome screamed up at him, tears flowing out of her eyes. She pushed Inu-Yasha out of her way, the aura around her a deep black and pulsing.
'Yes, get mad...let that power out of you,' Naraku though sinisterly.
"And you're going to pay for it!" Kagome charged at him with her fist high, ignoring Inu-Yasha's protest. She launched a punch at the hanyou but he caught it easily within his own hand.
"Girl, you really think that you could defeat me?" Naraku chuckled, staring at her in the eyes. "You're almost as powerless as Monster." The goblin twitched slightly when he heard this.
Kagome grimaced and pushed her hand harder. No luck. Inu-Yasha ran towards them, but suddenly Monster was blocking his way.
"Hey, what're-?"
"Masters thinks Monster's not strong, doesn't he?" Monster snarled at Naraku, glass teeth glistening.
"No I do not," Naraku answered simply, looking over Kagome's shoulder at the goblin. "And do not use that tone of language at me, you little shit!"
Monster lowered his head and clashed his teeth. "You do know that Monster's hasn't eaten anything in weeks. Wolfie was my last meal." Naraku widened his eyes at two things. One, Monster's speech was starting to get a bit better. Two, the goblin sounded hungry. Really hungry. Inu-Yasha took this as a chance to save Kagome, so he grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her towards him, backing up towards the wall. Inu-Yasha could easily sense the anger flowing through Monster and it wasn't going to be pretty.
Without warning, Monster started to get bigger. They all recognized this as his superior and much more deadly form.
"Stop this instant Monster!" Naraku demanded, though the edge of his voice was dribbled with panic. When Monster just went bigger, it grew. "I am ordering you to stop!"
"You're not my master anymore, Naraku." Suddenly, Monster jumped at the hanyou with enough force to crash right through the wall. Kagome widened her eyes and looked away towards Inu-Yasha. Only a few seconds later did Monster come out, his mouth covered in his once master's blood. He stared over at the couple. Inu-Yasha held Kagome protectively.
"I am done here," the goblin said, before shrinking back to his normal form. "Evils was getting to demanding for Monsters. Monsters will find a better master." With that, he jumped out of the hole and disappeared from sight. Inu-Yasha stared after him in confusion.
"He left?" he asked confusedly.
"If goblin's turn on their master, they always go to find another one before doing anything else," Kagome explained. "My Dad told me that. We were lucky though, that Monster turned on that Naraku fellow. I'm glad that I was avenged."
Inu-Yasha turned towards her and smiled. "Lucky, huh?"
Kagome grinned back. "Yes, it was."
DING DONG
"Hey that's the doorbell. Come on." Inu-Yasha took her by the hand and led her back upstairs to the porch. He opened the door and Kagome gasped.
Sango, Souta, and Miroku gasped right back.
Suddenly, Kagome tackled her friends and brother to the ground, happy as could be. They all hugged back and stayed like that for a moment.
"Um, hey guys," Inu-Yasha said, interrupting the hug.
Kagome blushed. "Oh, um." She got up along with her friends. "Inu-Yasha, these are my two friends, Sango and Miroku, and this is my brother, Souta."
"Kagome, I can't believe we found you," Souta, who was on the verge of crying happy tears, choked out. Kagome smiled and hugged him again. Then the male cat hanyou looked over at Inu-Yasha. "Arigauto so much for keeping my sister safe. I missed her so badly."
"No prob," Inu-Yasha said, grinning widely.
---
After talking for a while and giving many more hugs, Souta looked over at his sister.
"Kagome, it's time we go home. You are the queen now," he explained. Kagome frowned.
"Oh..."
Souta returned her frown. "What's wrong? Don't you want to go home?"
"I do but..." Kagome let her eyes trail over to Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha looked back at her.
"Go Kagome," Inu-Yasha said, smiling sadly. "Go back to your home with your friends and family.
"But, Inu-Yasha-"
"Go home," he interrupted, still smiling.
"OK," Kagome said, blinking back tears. She followed her friends out the door, but Souta stayed back with Inu-Yasha.
"You have developed feelings for my sister, haven't you?" Souta asked calmly.
Inu-Yasha looked away from him and nodded.
Souta smiled. "Then why are you leaving her? Go get her!" This is exactly what Inu-Yasha did.
The dog hanyou hurried out of the mansion and caught Kagome before she went into the car.
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked.
The dog hanyou bent down on one knee and took her hands into his own. "I know that we haven't known each other for so long, but Kagome Higurashi, I love you. Will you marry me?"
'YES YES YES!! Oh, I better say it out loud.' "Yes, I will!"
Inu-Yasha grinned and leaned up to kiss her on the lips.
As they kissed, Kagome thought, 'It sort of makes me happy that I met Kouga.'
