Sorry that it's taken me so long to update. I'll have another chapter soon! I know they're not super long but I've been super busy. Xo.

She woke in an unfamiliar bed, the sunlight streaming onto her face, and a crossed the bed. The color scheme looked familiar, but Kagome couldn't see why. Kagome's finger found her right temple and rubbed gingerly to ward of the storm brewing behind her brow. She sat up and found her whole body sore, small scratches lined her arms and legs.
"What happened last night?" She spoke softly, her voice hoarse and weak.
"You were assaulted." A deep voice came from the doorway.
Kagome's eyes went wide and she clutched the sheets in an attempt to keep ahold of something as the memories came and slipped through her grasp.
"Don't worry." He quickly added, "I stopped him. He didn't touch you."
"Thank you." She replied numbly, taking the cup of coffee from him.
They sat there in a comfortable silence, both sipping on their coffees.
"Where's Sango?" She finally asked, once her coffee was halfway gone.
"I convinced her to let you stay here. She took your car to work, and will be here tonight to pick you up."
"Is Kouga alive?" She asked, keeping steady eye contact, which he returned, "He'll live."
Kagome wasn't sure whether or not she was happy about that.
"You should probably get more sleep." Inuyasha commented, getting up from his resting place on the side of his bed, her feet.
"Wait." Kagome said, grabbing his wrist. "What's your name?"
"Inuyasha."
"Thank you for saving me Inuyasha."
"Eh, no problem Kagome."
He slipped out of the room silently, turning the light out as he went. Kagome slipped into a dark unconscious state.
XXXXXXX
She sat up the next morning.
"Damn." She shook her head and yawned, "What day is it?"
Kagome edged off of the bed. She made her way to the smooth white door and turned the cold silver knob. She looked down the hallway and made her way to the stairs. She took the stairs slowly. She could smell food wafting from the kitchen and she followed the scent.
The kitchen was spacious with large granite countertops and cherry wood cabinets. The backsplash and lighting were bright and modern. The appliances were state of the art and stainless steal.
"Hungry?" Inuyasha asked without turning away from his work.
"Yeah." She smiled lightly as she slid onto a red topped chrome stool.
"What'll it be?"
"Whatever your making smells nice." She replied softly, looking down at her hands, realizing how strange this was. Just yesterday they had been fighting like children trying to get the last word in, but today he was making her breakfast.
"Here you go." He slid the plate to her, it held an omelet.
She took it. "Thank you."
He nodded curtly and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Kagome said between bites.
He gave her a vague response, "Out."
She sighed, "Before you go, where is Sango? Wasn't she supposed to come get me?"
"She got called into another shift. She said she's sorry she couldn't get you but she'd be fired if she did."
"Oh, okay." Kagome frowned slightly, and sat up to take her plate to the sink, but her foot caught on the stool and she went flying.
She waited for the smash of the platter. She waited for the pain to makes itself evident. But no crash came and she didn't feel the floor. She opened her eyes slowly and found the plate in Inuyasha's hand and herself in is arms.
"You okay?" He smirked, sliding the plate on the counter while setting Kagome up in a standing position.
"Yes." She blushed furiously from embarrassment and being so close to the hayou's face. She caught herself staring and quickly shook her head and looked at their large TV.
"Mind if I watch some TV?"
"Go for it." He quickly scooped her up, earning a yelp from the girl , and tossed her on the couch.
"What was that for?" Kagome asked, arms crossed.
"What?" He grinned, "I didn't want you to hurt yourself."
She threw a small pillow at him, which he dodged easily by exiting the front door.
"I'll be back!" He called out as he left.
Kagome sighed and grabbed the remote.
