Chapter 20: With No Glasses

InuYasha watched her angelic face inhale then exhale, inhale, exhale… she seemed small and helpless when she slept so deeply. Compared to when she was awake and fired up, she just appeared more … more like a woman instead of a tomboy that could scare the biggest wrestler.

He reached his arm out and let his hand rest gently on her rosy cheek. She felt pleasant and soft underneath his claws, as if it were a warm rose petal that formed her skin, not mere flesh. He looked at her cheek, the bruise was gone now; all trace of her mother now gone from her. He could feel her lean into his hand, trying to cuddle it. A small smile was dusted on his face, he couldn't help it, it was just there. He let his hand wonder up to her hair line to push her bangs back and he felt something. A small patch of latex plastic was firmly plastered to her skin. He pulled his hand back quickly; that was a dark memory. He had almost forgotten her trip to the hospital. He still didn't understand what it was, he should ask. He sighed.

She was so tired when they ran upstairs, he could tell by the way she immediately sat down on the side of his bed, located against the wall in the right corner. She patted the spot next to her so he could sit down. He sat and she leaned on his shoulder, mumbling, "Let me borrow your shoulder." He had told her to get on the bed so she could go to sleep, but she declined and said that she didn't want to steal his bed. He told her they could share it, she slapped his shoulder weakly and said "No" in a groggy tone. He thought he had seen a blush lightly sprinkled on her cheeks as she said she would take the floor. He ended up letting her doze off on the floor, later on picking her up and laying her on her bed.

He kissed her forehead and left the room. He could still hear Sesshomaru watching the news in the living room. As he descended the stairs, he felt virulent eyes watching his feet lose elevation. InuYasha turned his gaze jaggedly towards the penetrating gaze. It bothered him how Sesshomaru could simply watch someone with intension. If Sesshomaru wanted you to feel his eyes digging under your skin like a hundred miniscule needles, shooting probe filled liquids into your blood stream, the liquid turned that once warm crimson into red sorbet, you would feel it. But… his stare could be as invisible as a butterfly passing by on the wings of the breeze. This was one of those times he wanted to be noticed.

"What!" he screeched out hotly as he reached the base of the stairs. Sesshomaru merely raised an elegant eyebrow and lifted his body to walk towards him, his footsteps gliding over the hard wood floor. InuYasha slapped himself for impulse; he really was as dumb as people saw him to be. He knew that Sesshomaru wanted to say something badly enough that InuYasha could walk into the kitchen and he would follow, so he did just that. He was kind of hungry since he didn't get to eat anything from Miroku's party because he left to early.

He got to looking through the fridge before Sesshomaru opened his mouth to talk. Sesshomaru leaned against the counter casually and looked across the room nonchalantly.

"InuYasha, what is that woman doing in your room sleeping?" InuYasha simply ignored him.

"And you don't smell like sex… that's a first. She doesn't smell like it either… so I couldn't presume that she was something along those lines… what is her purpose here?" InuYasha blushed lightly as images of certain things stampeded threw his hormonally charged head. He shivered as some of the more flamboyant images went through in slow motion.

"I don't suspect that she's a common harlot. She seemed more like a business woman then a whore to tell you the truth," Sesshomaru continued. The comment over Kagome's intention brought him back to the conversation.

"She ain't no ho!" he defended. "She just needs a place to crash for a while. Damn, do I need a reason to have people over?"

"Not a slut? Then what use is the woman to you? I've never seen you so hot headed over some human girl…"

"She is no concern to you if she don't cause no trouble for ya, is she?" he asked as he snatched the jug of cola out of the chilly door.

"I suppose not, but I would like to be informed on who is living in my expensively humble abode," he said, gently motioning to their costly surroundings. "If perhaps she was a miscreant with an unstable sanity… I wouldn't want her prowling around my home looking for something to entertain her…" he said suggestively

InuYasha slammed his glass down to the point were it wouldn't break, blood veins visible on his hands. He let go of the glass and swung at his brother, but missed. Sesshomaru had seen his fist coming and with a charming twist of his back, moved ever so slightly as to avoid the contact. InuYasha however, received the shorter end of the stick and ended up blowing a whole through the wall so that he could see the stairs. He shook the dust from the dry wall that had collected on his fist and jumped up in the air to give Sesshomaru a good kick in the stomach. Unfortunately for him, his brother was much faster than him in every way. Sesshomaru once more casually bent his body so InuYasha would barley miss. This time InuYasha put a dent in the counter. He could hear some of the pots bellow that crumble at his mighty thrust. InuYasha lifted himself from his landing position from trying to kick Sesshomaru and was about to throw another attack when he heard the floorboard above him squeak. What if it was a robber?

This wouldn't be the first time a robber had broken into the house. Once before, way back when there parents had been away on business, it had happened before. Of corce nothing was stolen, for Sesshomaru has almost killed the man for trying to steal his favorite pen set. A rather valuable pen set, engraved with gold writing and white diamonds. His ears twitched as the squeaking continued. Something that sounded like a person crashing into walls or tripping on carpets came from the upstairs. When they finally reached the stairs, they stumbled down the first few and slid down the rest of them. If this was a robber, it was a VERY sad excuse for a criminal. Sesshomaru looked around in time to see the creator of all the noise. Kagome appeared confused in the doorway, her hair messed up, arms bruised, toes stubbed and eyes unfocused. She didn't seem tense or scared by the sight of a counter demolished, a wall destroyed, and a worn out InuYasha looking whiter than his little puppy dog ears, she merely seemed confuse.

"I heard crashing upstairs… I thought a burglar broke in…" she said, squinting her eyes at different angles. InuYasha finally realized that she didn't have her contacts in or her glasses on. She couldn't see a damn thing! InuYasha relaxed at the peace of mind that she couldn't see his implosive behavior carried out all over the kitchen.

"On the contrary, it was merely InuYasha. Go off to bed now, it is late and you most likely have school to attend in the morrow, nay?" Sesshomaru said coolly as he waved his hand in front of her. She snatched it out of the air and started to rub his hands and feel all the little bones that made his perfect digits. She smiled shamelessly at the feel of structure in his hand. Sesshomaru for his part snatched his hand back quickly, not knowing how to react to someone touching his hand in that manner.

"I suppose I do…" she announced, her smile standing were it was. InuYasha, now irritated by the scene that had just occurred in front of him took Kagome's hand and started guiding her up the stairs.

"Sesshomaru! Stop flirting with her!" InuYasha warned crossly, unconsciously tightening his grip on Kagome's hand. Before too long she pulled her hand back.

"It hurts when you do that…" she said simply and held her hand to her chest, trying to massage it better. He looked at her and realized he had grabbed her hand too roughly. He flattened his ears tightly against his head and bowed his head.

"Sorry," he said gruffly, he wasn't used to letting that word slide off his tongue, even when it was desperately needed.

Kagome for her part strained to see what he was doing in front of her. It was all a blur; she couldn't make out anything but blobs of colors that seemed to be trying to fight for dominance. She reached her hands out to find his chest, placing the palm of her hands daintily on it.

"You didn't mean it, dummy," she said, her lips curved into a cute little "u" shape. They were naturally luscious and when she smiled like that, it didn't matter that she was practically blind; he still felt his craving for her rise. He smiled at her, his hand placed on her right shoulder and rubbing it affectionately. She took her hands back and quickly looked at the floor so he wouldn't see the blush that was making its way onto her face. He smelled her enjoyment of his touch, but it confused him when she lightly pushed his hand away.

"It's creepy when I can't see who's doing that," she mumbled simply. InuYasha chuckled lightly at this.

"Let's go to bed, we got school tomorrow," he said humorously, guiding her back to bed.

And that's just what they did.

I had trouble ending this chap… but I guess ya'll figured with the dumb ending. Sigh… school's been a real pain in the ass… but this is what keeps me going, so R&R! Please!
