Kagome sat in the car with Inuyasha. He had been driving for only about twenty minutes, Sango's house was a bit a ways from his own...clubhouse thing. Their hands were still laced together, though Kagome had tried to pull away when the traffic seemed to get a bit heavier, protesting that he needed to focus on the road, only to be silenced with a growl from him.

Now she leaned back against the sat, eyes closed, Inuyasha's hand warm and heavy on her own.

"Are we still picking up some dinner?" Kagome asked. She almost corrected the question, not wanting Inuyasha to think she was holding him to his earlier promise, if he didn't want to it was totally fine with her. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.

"I literally said we were going less than half an hour ago, are you that impatient." Kagome, forcing down the urge to apologize and tell him she hadn't meant he was going slow or anything, just grumbled.

"You're always twisting my words." She told him. Inuyasha chuckled.

"Say what you mean and mean what you say." he informed her with a smirk. Kagome rolled her eyes and cuddled her legs up to her chest. Inuyasha glanced at her with a worried gaze.

"Are you cold?" He asked. Kagome shook her head, even though honestly? She was close to freezing, maybe he didn't notice the lack of heat in the cold because he was and Inuyoukai and could probably very well keep himself warm even at zero degrees. But at the moment, the only thin warm was his hand in hers.

"Yes you are, why didn't you say something?" He said, letting go of the steering wheel and puling off his coat, Kagome didn't have time to squeal because he had draped the jacket over her and had his hands back on the wheel before she could. Dang! He's fast! She thought to herself.

"Thank you." She said softly, the jacket was still warm from him, and it smelled just like she knew Inuyasha always would. Masculine, a kind of woodsy scent, mixed with the smell of a bit of smoke. She loved it. It was truly heavenly. But she didn't want to look weird sniffing his jacket. So instead she pulled it up right under her nose.

"We should be there in about 25 minutes, relax, baby girl, I got it." Kagome smiled at him. Sometimes she wondered, maybe he wasn't that bad after all.


Kagome helped Inuyasha carry in the bags they had from Olive Garden, against his protests, he had told her he could hold them himself, but she had simply ignored him and carried them inside anyway.

Inuyasha was stopped by one of his men, Hiten.

"Hey sir, um, we've got a pretty big problem." He said, nervously scratching the back of his neck. Inuyasha growled under his breath, giving the man a steely glare, he shrunk back visibly and Kagome almost opened her mouth to tell Inuyasha to stop being so rude before she remembered their earlier conversation. Instead she just stood behind him silently, he hadn't told her much, maybe now she would discover a bit more.

Inuyasha was definitely not liking the fact that he was interrupted with Kagome, he had intended to take her upstairs and have a nice dinner with her and watch a movie calmly, give her what he knew she wanted. But this asshole had interrupted. Again.

"Talk to me downstairs. I'm busy, I'll be down in a few." Inuyasha said curtly before brushing past him and heading to the kitchen, Kagome following close behind.

What does he not want me to know? Kagome thought to herself as she set some of the bags down on the counter. I mean there must be something he's hiding if he refuses to talk about it while I'm there...

"Don't worry about it." Kagome jumped, almost dropping the to go box of spaghetti she had in her hand. Panicking she turned to him with a shaky smile. Crap, had she said that out loud?.

"Erm what?" asked, feigning an innocent look, Inuyasha checked over her, head to to as if assessing her. Kagome cleared her throat, reminding him of her question.

"The boxes, don't worry, someone will take em out and deal them around." He said, turning around, thankfully right before Kagome sagged in relief.

"Oh right, of course." She said pushing off the counter. She poked her head out of the kitchen, looking into the living room. Around 10 of Inuyasha's men were sitting around the table in their, some sitting on couches, some watching TV. They definitely didn't look like they could kill anyone. Kagome giggled.

At the tinkling sound, Inuyasha turned to look at her, wondering what she thought was so funny. He approached slowly, keeping his movements light, quiet. When he was close enough, he slide a hand up her side, feeling her shiver, he smirked in satisfaction.

"And what's so funny?" He said, leaning in close enough that his breath would brush over her ear. How he loved doing this, feeling her shivering, Seeing her bite her lip to hold back moans. It was so much fun to tease her.

"Um... nothing." She stuttered out. Inuyasha chuckled before pulling back.

"Come on, babe, let's go upstairs." He told her, grabbing her elbow gently and pulling her towards the stairs. Kagome only nodded, knowing better then to argue with him, if he wanted her upstairs it was normally because something could happen to her if she remained downstairs. Not that it was a huge change, she was in a house filled with big men with big guns, literally. It was always possible for her to get hurt.

Inuyasha opened the door to his large room, Kagome walked in first, she headed over to his closet. Somehow, at least half of her clothes had been shipped right to his door and he had Shippo help her putting them in his closet. Kagome pulled out some black spandex shorts and a slightly over sized T-shirt, turning around to see Inuyasha leaning against the door frame.

"That's what you wear to bed?" He asked. Honestly, Kagome never let him in the room when she was getting dressed, and after she was she normally was already in the window seat, blankets pulled up. And because Inuyasha didn't normally sleep , he did a lot of work at night also, and never got the time to see her during her rest.

Kagome nodded, looking at him expectantly. When he just continued to stare at her, making her feel pretty Self-conscious she decided to voice her thoughts.

"If you don't mind... I kind of have to get dressed." She told him. Inuyasha snorted.

"Then go in the bathroom." Kagome wanted to argue with him, but realized it was a pretty good suggestion. Sighing, she headed into the bathroom to get dressed.

Inuyasha sat on his bed and sighed, covering his face with his hands and laying back so his feet were on the loor and the rest of him on his California king sized bed. Keeping his hands to himself ha been difficult. The past four days had been absolute torture. Kagome had no idea how absolutely sexy she could be.

He wanted to kiss her, he wanted to hold her. Sometimes he wanted to shove her down on the bed and fuck her. To pound into her until she was moaning in pleasure, screaming his name for the entire institute to hear, for them to know she was his and only his.

But he didn't, he was respecting his mates wishes. She wanted to hold off on all that then he would, he would wait forever if he had to. She was just that absolutely, wonderfully important to him.

The bathroom door opened, illuminating the dimly lit room.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome's voice could be heard, wondering if he was okay. Inuyasha sat up and almost wished he hadn't. Kagome was standing there. She had put her hair up into a high ponytail, much to his disappointment. He rather liked how her hair looked when it was down, it was so much sexier. Her T-shirt came an inch or two down on her thigh, her spandex shorts only four or five inches down her thigh, exposing her long, sexy legs.

Inuyasha swallowed, forcing himself to calm down, because at the moment all he wanted to do was jump her. He could feel his lower regions getting excited at the mere thought of it.

"Yeah, I'm good, just thinking." He told Kagome, standing up.

He opened up the boxes of Fettuccine Alfredo, her favorite. She grinned, her wide smile lighting up her face. Inuyasha chuckled as she hurried over, picking up the to go box. She settled down on hi couch across from the TV. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as she slurped up a noodle, though he was smiling too.

Kagome loved pasta. It was delicious. The cheese melty in her mouth. She looked up for a moment when she heard the door open. Inuyasha was in thd oorway, the man before, Hiten she thought? He stood in the doorway talking to Inuyasha, who definitely was not happy judging by his tense posture.

The man left and Inuyasha turned, running a hand through his long white hair.

"Is everything okay?" Kagome prodded, Hoping for information, she definitely didn't receive.

"Don't worry about it." Inuyasha said. He walked over to her and pulled her up so she was standing, even though she was nine inches shorter than him. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and rested his lips there while he pulled her ponytail out.

"Leave you hair down, baby, you look even more beautiful like that." He told her. Kagome leaned in, growing confident she wrapped her arms around his middle and hugged him tightly. Surprised, Inuyasha hesitated a moment before wrapping his arms around her lower back and pulling her body to his, nuzzling his nose into the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent.

"I have to go, baby, I'll be back in an hour or so alright? Don't go anywhere." Kagome giggled at the familiar words and with that, he slipped out of the room.


Inuyasha practically stomped downstairs. Growling, his teeth bared in a snarl as he clenched his teeth. His demon was fucking pissed, along with the rest of him. They had torn him away from his mate again. Sure, the fact that someone had been seen lurking through their territory was a big deal. But fuck, she had hugged him before he left, who knows what she might've done if he hadn't?

He stormed into the interrogation room in the basement shoving the door open so hard it smacked the inside of the wall.

"What the hell." He said. It wasn't a question, more of a demand. A demand that they tell him fucking everything. that they explain what was so god damn important, they had to tear him away from his mate.

"This man, he won't tell us his name, but he works for Naraku." explained Bankotsu. He gestured to the man in the chair. He had his hands handcuffed behind his back, besides the black eye and swollen bottom lip, he seemed completely unharmed.

"What the fuck was he doing in my territory?" Inuyasha said, ignoring the curious look Renkotsu gave him. Inuyasha was normally calm about interrogations. But not now, not when it cost him his time with his mate.

"Like I'd tell you if I didn't tell them" The man said, a grin on his face that told Inuyasha that he thought he had completely won. Not yet. Inuyasha leaned forward, wrapping his hand around the mans neck and squeezed, his claws digging into the flesh of the man slightly.

"You're going to tell me why you're here, or I'm going to kill you." He snarled out in his face, he didn't have time for patience, he wanted to get back to his mate!

"I'll never tell, you're going to kill me either way!" He shouted back at Inuyasha, Inuyasha took a deep breath and stood straight, he released his hold on his neck and turned. Walking over to the door, he called back over his shoulder.

"Don't feed him, we'll come back tomorrow and see if he talks then." Inuyasha said, pulling a dagger of the wall and inspecting it.

"I'm not going to talk, you're wasting your time dog breath. You know, I wasn't the only one there tonight, a friend of mine is going back to Naraku, just wait till he finds out about your mate." Inuyasha froze as the words hit him dead on. Kagome... The man seemed to realize that this was a weak spot.

"Oh yes, he's been looking for someone to birth his sire. She'd do a great job, that great body of hers, I'm sure he'd do an amazing job pleasuring her." Whatever else the man was going to say, he never get the chance. All that was heard was a weak gasp and a cough before it was silent.

Inuyasha turned, his eyes like fire, his teeth bared once again.

"Get this creature out. Burn his body." He ordered Jakotsu, Renkotsu and Bankotsu. They nodded and Inuyasha watched they carried the man out. His eyes still wide but glazed over, his mouth still dropped open in shock. A thin line of blood trickled down his nose. Inuyasha followed the blood line up, to the dagger, embedded hilt deep into his brain.


Kagome had gotten bored eating pasta and watching movies alone, so she decided to head out onto Inuyasha's balcony. It was beautiful, the night sky was dark, stars shining brightly over head. A Daybed lounge was in one of the corners, the wicker covering was beautiful, the dark brown clashing with the white cushions and the dark brown table that held a candle yet to be lit.

The hot tub was the best of course, sizzling, bubbling, the lights underneath made the blue water seem to be glowing, and Kagome really wanted to get in it. But not only did she already changed and didn't feel like finding a bathing suit, she hadn't exactly asked permission, and she didn't want Inuyasha to be upset with her.

Kagome leaned against the balcony, her hands resting on the rails as she gazed at the sky thinking to herself. How would she go to school? There was no way Inuyasha was letting her go alone, she knew that from the bodygaurds he had assgined to her that rarely left her side. But she was in his room that was soundproof, and must have been extremely safe since he left her in there alone.

But she wanted to go to school, she wanted to be normal still, and what about Volleyball? Kagome groaned, she had completely forgotten. She had just made Libero and she was going to totally lost the spot if she didn't make it to school the next day. She sighed. She'd just have to find a way to convince Inuyasha to allow her back to school.

Inuyasha. The guy could be shady, intimidating, but other times he would laugh and smile. Kagome didn't know much of what to think of him. He didn't talk about his past. But she hoped one day he'd open up a bit more and tell her.

Suddenly, a musky, earthy scent filled Kagome's nose as two hands made it to her waist, gripping it tightly. One of those hands trailed a path up her right arm, all the way to her collarbone. Kagome's breath quickened as a sharp claw swept over her shoulder, confirming Inuyasha's presence. He swept her hair to the side, glad she had kept it down. He leaned forward, letting his breath tease her skin before he placed a chaste kiss on the soft skin. He loved the way she immediately melted back into him.

He continued moving kisses up her shoulder to her neck, opening his mouth a bit more each kiss. Kagome was biting her lip, holding back a moan, so hard she though she might bite through it. Inuyasha groaned into her neck when he noticed her scent spiking. He moved over to where he had marked her the two indentations where his fangs had bitten her finally shifted, one black and one white. Now all he would have to do was complete the mating ritual by mating with her for it to form the Yin Yang mark that all Taisho Mates had.

He flicked his tongue over the marks before sucking on the soft, tender skin, brushing his fangs across it just enough to graze her flesh. He growled softly when he heard the soft moan that escaped her lips.

Kagome turned in his embrace and Inuyasha met her eyes.

"You know, you can't leave me then come back acting all lovey and expect me to just instantly forgive you." She said, though her voice was barely more than a whisper. Inuyasha chuckled as he nipped at her earlobe.

"I know, baby, I just had to figure something out, you know I just want you to be safe." He told her, looking back at her. Kagome noted his eyes honestly held nothing but love. And she decided to press him on.

"I don't know why you go to such extents to 'protect me' sometimes, it's not necessary." She told him, because it wasn't. She was one girl and she had no doubts that the world could be dark and cruel, but she didn't honestly believe anybody would try to kill her anytime soon, especially when Inuyasha had his men on her.

"I would do anything, I would give my life to protect you." He told her, tipping her chin up to meet his eyes. Kagome's heart swelled and she decided now was time.

She raised up on her toes, and softly pressed her lips to his.
