A.N. okay. I guess I'm updating kind of early. I don't know, I'll do it when I get the chance. I hope you like this chapter though!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything used in this chapter. Hell I barely own the computer so it's safe to say I own nothing. Just the story. So yeah.

Last Time

"Kagome are you alright?" James asked when he got off the elevator and found her, rolled up in a ball on the floor.

"What?" she asked looking up, "no. I'm just tired of his attitude."

James knew in that moment what she was talking about. And his mother's suspicions were right. Kagome was the girl from his grandfather's past. Before he knew what he was doing, he had her wrapped in his arms in a tight embrace.

Now

InuYasha woke up, kind of scared. First he fell off the couch because he wouldn't sleep in Kagome's room. Second, he wasn't sure where he was. And third, when he figured out where he was, he realized Kagome still wasn't back yet.

"Where the hell is she?" he thought sitting up, "she can't still be at the hospital."

Just as InuYasha was going to go to the kitchen to call Kagome, the phone started to ring.

"Hello."

Kagome said on the other line,

"Why?" he asked, exasperated that she was spending so much time with James, "I mean your brother is here. And well you're not spending enough time with him."

"I grew up with him," she said,

InuYasha snorted, "alright. But you better be back here when we get done. Or I'm coming to get you."

she said with a laugh,

"Okay," he said, "I'll talk to you later."

InuYasha and Souta had a better time than InuYasha had expected to have with a young teenaged boy.

"Remember," he told Souta, "don't tell your sister where we went for lunch."

Souta nodded with a grin on his face. InuYasha had taken him too Hooters for lunch, telling him that they have the best hot wings ever. Souta had thought it was funny, because when he was younger, he could remember Kagome telling him stories about how InuYasha couldn't eat spicy foods.

"I guess you've finally built up a immunity to anything spicy then?" he asked InuYasha when they got home. The older man nodded, as they walked up the stairs to Kagome's apartment.

"Why did my sister leave her house key's with you anyway?" Souta asked, "are you moving in or something?"

"No," InuYasha replied as he opened the apartment door, "she left them with me so I can take care of you. But they're really the spare set she had given Miroku and Sango last week that they were staying with her."

"Why aren't you and Kagome together anyway?" Souta asked, not realizing what he said.

"I don't know," InuYasha said softly, "I think most of it has to do with my understanding what she went through all those years ago. She would always be so understanding, watching me leave to find Kikyo, but I knew it hurt her. I guess it's my turn to have some hurting done."

"You need to prove to her your feelings," Souta exclaimed.

"How would you know what my feelings are?" InuYasha asked the younger boy, "your still a kid."

"I see the look in your face when you talk about her," Souta said matter of factly, "and the way you get really mad when she was getting ready for her date last night. You love her, and the only you're not going to loose her is to prove that you're there for her. Right now she's with another man, in a hospital. You're here with her kid brother, find some way of showing your affections. She's gonna end up with that guy if you don't do something fast."

InuYasha smiled at the boy.

Kagome sat with James on one of the couch chairs that they had in the hospital waiting room. They had moved from the 9th floor, where his mother was the night before, to the second floor where they had the actual surgery.

"Kagome," he said quietly as she shifted against him.

"Yeah?" she asked, looking up at him.

"You look cold," James remarked, "are you okay?"

Kagome giggled, "it is a little cold in here."

"Alright," he said with a grin, "sit up real fast."

Doing as he said, Kagome sat up from where she was, wrapped in his arms and watched him as he went to get a blanket.

"I'm cold too," he said with a grin. Kagome laughed as he wrapped the large blanket around his shoulders before sitting down.

"Well you better make room," she said moving to sit with him. James laughed encircling Kagome in his arms with the blanket.

"Thank you for staying with me," he said as she snuggled into his chest, "you don't know how much it means to me."

"Don't worry about it," Kagome told him with a smile, "everyone needs somebody at a time like this. And we wouldn't be here like this if I hadn't come to keep you company."

James laughed, leaning his head against Kagome's.

It was almost three in the afternoon, and Kagome still wasn't home. InuYasha and Souta were both starting to get worried when they heard laughter from the stairwell.

"What are you talking about?" they heard Kagome saying.

"It's simple," said a mans voice, "the person doesn't want to remember something about there past. Whether it be good or bad, so they find a way to block it out of their memories. It happens a lot. I've read somewhere that people who were reincarnated will have visions of the past, before their time, and it scares them so much that they lock the memories away."

InuYasha was staring at the door when Kagome walked in. With James.

"Hey guys," she said with a smile, "I thought you were going out."

"We did," InuYasha said, not liking how Kagome smelled so strongly like the demon she was standing with, "but we got done with lunch early. So we came here, to see if you got home safe."

"Thank you," she said, "but I'm fine."

"Kagome," James said, "I'm going to go home. I need to get some stuff, and then go to mothers to get her things. I'll call you later to tell you when they release her."

Kagome nodded, following James to the door.

"Alright," she said, "but I hope under different circumstances we can do what we did last night again. Coffee and talking is much better than a normal date."

James nodded, and much to InuYasha's horror, leaned down and kissed Kagome.

"Trust me," he said pulling her close to him, "there isn't anything that would keep me from that. Well mother, but only until she's better."

Kagome laughed, and kissed him back.

A.N. Yeah not a cliffhanger or anything. But still enough to get your mind working. Hehehe. Hope you liked the chapter. Review and tell me what you think! Cya
