Kagome soshite sono Inu Doyatsu izuko Ato Hanyou
Summary: OOC. AU. Whence running from school in the rainiest day ever, ever feel like theirs something watching you? While running down an ally Kagome meets a glare from a pure white dog, hiding from the rain? T for random foul language.

Chapter 6 – I don't want you to know!
It had been two nights since Inuyasha remembered the miko's voice, now he wished he could forget all over again. She was haunting him when he was asleep or when he was in thought. Even sometimes when he wasn't listening rightly to Kagome, her voice came through hers. It scared him. As he lay there looking up at the stars, like he always did when he needed to think. I can't let her now, she'd go crazy. And if I know anything she'd probably try to fix it, you can't love everything Kagome… I'll be dead in a couple months anyway…
Kagome looked up to the moon with silent worry in her eyes. Turning around she walked out of her room. She went outside – she knew where Inuyasha was, so she didn't bother calling him. Going around the house to where she spotted a ladder that Inuyasha didn't know she placed there. When he was asleep, she did it. She climbed up the ladder onto the roof. Stepping closer to him, it was around that closeness, he normally would have said "I know you're there" but he didn't… He must really be in thought if I haven't woken him with my presence. She thought. She stood there one arm crossed to the other. After five minutes of him not noticing her she sighed, then walked up to him and sat next to him. Inuyasha's troubled, he knows something, maybe it's about the curse, I know he doesn't want to tell me, but look at him! He's so… I dunno what, it hurts seeing him like this.
'Hey…'
Inuyasha freaked out so much he stood up; his ears were as close as they could to his head.
'Fakku where the heck did you come from?'
Kagome looked up to the sky.
'I know you don't want to tell me whatever's bothering you, its- its, just…. You look so sad, as if you know you're gonna die or something…'
At the word die, he flinched, not that she noticed.
'But I want you to know something, Inuyasha; I'm always here with an ear open for you, okay?' Kagome said then got up and looked at him. He had a kind of shocked look on his face.
'You're scaring me Inuyasha, the way your acting… it's scaring me, you look so down-' tears started to form in her eyes '-like you know something bad is gonna happen… I don't want anything to happen! I like things the way it is!' she quivered out. Inuyasha was in shock, until the smell of salt water hit him. He grasped her arms and pulled her into him while wrapping his arms around her. Kagome stared into his chest.
'Baka, I'm not going-' his arms tightened around her a little more '-anywhere.'
For some reason she started to cry again.
'Promise?'
She felt him nod.
He felt her go limp, she had fallen asleep, and he smiled gently down at her. He placed her in her bed as he looked over to the clock…
'I lied to you. I'm sorry Kagome…'
He felt horrible, telling Kagome he wasn't going anywhere. Where the fact lies down he was, in a few months, indeed going somewhere, somewhere where she couldn't follow.
'Stupid curse.' He muttered, and then looked over to Kagome, who was asleep like normal. Looking over to the time he stood up then got him-self into the bed without waking her. He was too used to stop doing it -when the sun came up he found himself eased by her scent. Considering she didn't have to go to "school", he was guaranteed at least five hours sleep. But if it was he would have at least twenty minutes before she woke to go, then once she was gone he'd have nine hours or so to sleep before she came in.
She woke up rubbing her eyes, well aware of the dog sleeping next to her, glancing over to the clock she realized that he'd only been asleep for an hour straight, she didn't like waking him up, but every time she didn't he got scared for some reason, he wouldn't tell her why though...
'Hey, Inuyasha?'
He growled in response.
'I'm going down stairs for a drink 'Kay?'
He growled again.
'I'm assuming that means yes you know.'
He growled and she sighed.
'Nannari Inuyasha.' Kagome said as she manoeuvred herself over him and out the bed and left the room, leaving the door open in case he followed her.
He did eventually, as she sat down with her glass and cookie. He came into the kitchen, for a dog, he looked tired. Kagome saw his entrance by looking at him he snorted then went to her feet and lay down; she looked down at the dog surprised with a blink she stared at him for a pit then smiled warmly. Settling down her drink, she reached for his ear. He winched but realized it was her and settled back down, and was soon back asleep. Kagome chuckled slightly then brought her hand back to her glass, dismissing what she thought she heard whining in protest.
As soon as Kagome finished her cookie, she realized she wouldn't be able to get up, but was saved when her mother walked in the kitchen.
'Mama?'
Midoriko turned around a little startled.
'Y-yes dear?'
'Could you get me another cookie? Coz I can't get up.'
Midoriko frowned, then looked down at her feet and saw the dog, chuckling loudly she went over to the biscuit tin and grabbed several cookies and handed it to her daughter, smiled at her then whispered into her ear.
'…Think he likes you dear.'
Kagome turned a very dark shade of red.
Her mother laughed and set off.
What's up?
Kagome jumped then stared down at the dog.
'The roof.'
Inuyasha sat up and looked at her.
Haha, funny, no really what's up, I heard your mother talking.
Kagome froze.
'I asked her to get me some more cookies considering you were on my feet.'
Heh.
Inuyasha looked away with a blank look, which told Kagome he was trying to hide something.
'Spill.'
He looked back to her and blinked.
Huh?
'You have that look on your face again…'
What look?
'That look which screams; I-have-something-bothering-me-but-I-can't-tell-you-because-you'll-be-worried.'
Inuyasha stiffened.
I'm just tired, that's all.
'Hmm-mm.' she said, not exactly believing him.
Kagome stared at the tree that was finally up, Inuyasha came in the room.
What the heck is that?
'It's a Christmas tree.'
Gotta be that sparkly?
'Yep.'
What's with the boxes underneath it?
'Presents.'
Ah
'Which reminds me, I got you something…'
You've gotta be kidding me right?
'Nope,'
What is it then?
'I'm not gonna tell till I give it to you.'
When will that be?
'Tonight,'
Aw, c'mon that's only an hour or two away!
'Nu-huh not gonna tell ya!'
Inuyasha pouted, she grinned then ran.
Hell girl. You're gonna lose!
'How am I gonna lose if you don't catch me!?'
Inuyasha grinned then chased after her.
Somehow, the chase turned into hide-and-go-seek, a very childish hide-and-go-seek at that, they both got Sota in on it, and made a pact to scare the heck out of him, which they did after an hour of playing nice.
'What the heck are you doing?'
'Getting your present….' Came her muffled reply.
'From under the bed?!' he asked staring down at her legs which was the only part of her he could see. She had been under there for five minutes now, going on eight.
She came out from under the bed then placed something a meter away from his nose
'What the -?' he was going to swear but remembered not to. He stared at said heart thing, which was connecting by a golden thread. He blinked at it
'It's for you.' She said pulling up his hand and placing it in his palm.
'Whatis it?'
'It's a necklace…'
'Am I supposed to wear it?'
'Yes…'
Inuyasha brought said small heart thing to his eyes then prodded it several times, he heard her giggle so he looked towards her.
'Here.' She took it of him then placed it around his neck. He just blinked at her
'Promise you won't take it off…'
'What does it do?' Inuyasha asked staring down at it.
'…Nothing…'
'Remind me again why I should wear it?'
'Because I gave it to you!'
Inuyasha grumbled which sounded closely to something about bossy bitches and jewellery but didn't do anything else.
----
It had been awhile and everyone (including Gramps) had gotten used the hanyou being there, next to Kagome, being with her where ever she went. He just seemed to fit, right there next to her every minute of the day.
'Kagome!'
It was nine at night and her mother was calling her, blinking several times, while Inuyasha shrugged.
Kagome went down into the kitchen where her mother was
'Yes Mama?'
Midoriko turned around from preparing for the morning meal
'There you are dear; I want to ask you something…'
'…?'
'What time does Inuyasha turned back into a hanyou?'
'Ten, Mama…'
Her mother lit up, and Kagome was lead to believe her mother had plotted something
'Why don't you take him somewhere?'
Kagome blinked, shocked that her mother just said that.
'…Nani…?'
'You, know the movies… don't you kids do that kind of things now a days?'
'Um… I have to ask him…'
'This would be a good time to say; I already have?'
'Mama!?'
The smile on her mothers face got brighter.
'You've gotta be kidding me.'
'No, dear…'
Kagome nearly fainted.
'You asked him for me?!'
'Well, you weren't going to be asking him anytime soon…'
Kagome swore she could see a mischievous look in her mother's face.
Kagome walked…stalked rather, into the room, gaping at said dog, then remembering that the door was still open and that the possibility that her brother was awake, listening in; dawned on her so she closed the door, then turned around-
'Why didn't you tell me my mother asked you out for me?!'
..Um…
'Waiting…'
She told me not to tell you?
Kagome groaned.
What? Don't want to go out with me?
Kagome looked like she was going to gag.
'W-h-a-t?'
You're gonna make me cry.
Inuyasha looked like an over grown puppy who had lost its mother.
It got to her.
'Waaah! Stop it, stop it! I'll go!'
Inuyasha lit up for one thing.
'You do realize that the movie does end at midnight?'
'Yep, your mother picked it.'
Kagome slightly fainted.
'…'
Inuyasha smiled.
'You're mother plotted against you.'
'You don't say?' Kagome said walking along the path, keeping close to Inuyasha, because strangely there were a lot of people out for it being a little after ten
'Why can't we ditch the movies and go somewhere else?'
Inuyasha looked at her. She had that look on her face it was identical to the other day before she got mad and nearly fried that guy.
'Something wrong?'
'…'
'Miko senses going AWOL again?' Inuyasha asked slightly joking. Kagome looked up at him and shrugged, then pointed to the movie theatre.
'Now you wanna go in?'
Inuyasha was confused. Kagome grasped his arm and pulled him in. Even when they were inside she didn't let go.
Kagome laughed when Inuyasha said he didn't know what popcorn was. When he tried it, he found out he never wanted to try it again, so he gave it to Kagome who loved the stuff. They were a little early for what they were seeing, so they sat on a bouncy set outside the movie doors, while waiting Inuyasha finished off the bottle of coke he was drinking. Kagome looked at him.
'What?'
She sighed.
'Nothing…'
Inuyasha got bored, so he was the one who found out that the seat they were sitting on was bouncy.
'Go bounce on that one.' Kagome said to him pointing to the chair next to the one they were sitting on.
'Nah, I'll be fine.' Inuyasha said then settled down sitting there with his legs crossed backhand holding his head up from one knee, Kagome raised an eyebrow while looking at him.
Half way through the movie, Kagome had eaten all the popcorn, Inuyasha stole her drink that she whacked him jokingly over the head for, but he kept it anyway. There weren't many people in the same theatre, but who was in the theatre where all at the front; Kagome had previously pulled him to the back, hating to have so many people in one place.
Kagome couldn't understand why the girl trusted the guy so easily considering the girl was only ten or somewhere around there, and as stupid as anything it was probably the reason.
'H-e-e-e-y.' Inuyasha said quietly.
'Hm?'
'I've seen this before…'
'Just remembered?'
'Yep.'
'Watch, see the girl that's bored?'
'Hmm, she's the only one on screen...'
'Oh, whoops, anyways, she's gonna see the dragon she saw earlier…'
'Thanks!' Kagome said sarcastically.
'…Oh, that reminds me… do you like seeing blood?'
'Kind-a…'
'Oh, okay, then.'
That was all Inuyasha said.
Kagome soon found out why he was asking. Said dragon was almost covered in blood.
'Why is she going on that train again?'
'To save what's-it-name…'
'…Who…?'
'That dragon person… forgot his name…'
'…Oh him, why is she going to save him…?'
'Because he is dying, from some gold seal thing, and she probably loves him.'
'She hasn't known him that long...'
Kagome thought out that, Inuyasha shrugged.
They were both out of the theatre as soon as the credits where finished
'I think she should have stayed…'
'Hm?' Inuyasha asked.
'I said "I think she should have stayed"!'
'Oh…'
'I mean c'mon her parents are pigs... if you think about it, if she remembers, when she's older she will want to go back.'
Inuyasha looked at her with a face of stunned.
'How can you think of that?'
Kagome shrugged.
'Dunno… the end was lousy?'
'I agree on the ending thing…'
The wind blew strongly causing Inuyasha to sniff, by doing so he found out someone was following them.
'Hey.' He whispered.
'Hm?'
'Follow me…'
'Why?'
'Someone is following us…'
Kagome grasped his arm again. Then he took down an ally.
Seeing as the shadows still followed after five minutes, he could tell Kagome was starting to get scared.
'Alright, leap frog time.'
'Huh?'
Inuyasha hauled her onto his back then jumped onto the ceiling of the nearest building, as he did her grip tightened, making him grin slightly.
As he jumped over streets he could see that the shadows where still trying to follow him. Growling to himself, he stopped at the next building. He gently let Kagome down holding her knowing if he didn't she would fall down.
'…Are, they still following…?'
'Dunno… s-h-h.'
Kagome didn't say anything as she saw that his ears where swivelling as if they where following the noises she couldn't even hear, let alone know of.
Time was still for awhile as Inuyasha trailed voices and noises, he didn't recall letting go of Kagome, looking down he realized he didn't, she didn't seem to care, besides, she was more safer… that's the excuse he used anyway. But the blush on his face said otherwise.
Then he smelt fire. His ears flattened (Kagome found this rather cute) then he looked up.
'WATCH OUT!'
Inuyasha made a jump, tightening his grip around her waist.
'My, my, the hanyou got away.' A voice said, with a touch of amusement in it. Both Kagome and Inuyasha looked up.
'Who the fakku are you…?' Inuyasha asked loudly.
'You're wost nightmare, young hanyou.'
Inuyasha growled.
'What do you want?'
'To tell you something….'
'…'
'Your curse…'
'What the fakku about it?' he growled dangerously.
'The priestess said you'd die in three years of the same day, correct?'
Inuyasha growled and Kagome grew in confusion she looked towards him.
'…What…?' she whispered
'I know, why are you telling me some crap I already fucking know?'
'Just to tell you, you're not going to die in a couple of days.'
Inuyasha frowned 'what?'
'The priestess changed the curse; you will remain cursed until you kill someone.'
'And this someone would be….?' He growled.
'A person called Naraku, should be interesting to watch, he is a hanyou like you, you know…'
'So... You came here, nearly blasting me in flames-'
'Had to get your attention...' the person said one sided-ly, though Inuyasha ignored him.
'-just to tell me I have to kill this guy?'
'...Yep!'
'What happens if I don't…?'
'Simple, you'll stay cursed, till you die and if you are reincarnated, you'll be a racoon dog.'
Inuyasha growled.
'Oh by the way, the guy was the person who killed her.'
'So basically I'm doing her fucking dirty work?'
'Yep! Don't you feel like a dog now?'
'Shut the fakku up and tell me where I can find the son-of-a-ikeike.'
'You'll find him where your nose cannot find.'
'What kind of place is that?'
'Well, I can't just give the place away, can I? That would be too easy.'
'Fakku easy and tell me.'
'Nope, can't do. Just follow the cat and the miko.'
Then it vanished.
It took Inuyasha awhile before he realized Kagome's grip on his shirt tightened; she wasn't looking at him but staring at his shirt.
'…Why didn't you tell me you were going to die…?'
'Huh?'
'That the curse is gonna kill you…'
What could he say to that…?
'…'
'I know you didn't want to tell me, but what happens if you do die?!'
…He didn't think of that…
'What will happen to me!?' she asked shaking him the best she could tears were starting to run down her cheeks.
'What happens to me, huh? When you die?!?'
'I didn't want you to know I was gonna die!' He said pulling away.
'Why!?'
'If I told you, you would worry-'
'Why the heck wouldn't I?!'
Inuyasha stood there stunned. Kagome gathered her arms around herself in a cold defensive way girls do.
'Take me home.' That was a clear order in her voice.
Inuyasha took her to her room with his head down he said,
'…You can't fix everything Kagome.'
