Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

"So how long does the boy have?" the man in a cloak said as he looked out of the window. The room was mainly covered with darkness, it had an unpleasant feeling to it as well.
"I heard he had fifty days. The woman cried for her son. Although the brother doesn't seem to be affected by the cause," Kagura said. Her eyes narrowed,"Why is he of such importance to you?"
The man sat on a chair,"That is none of your concern."
"It's just a simple question Naraku. If you won't answer my question then I refuse to work for you," she said in a flat tone.
"He has something that I want," Naraku informed her as his red eyes trailed to the moon in the sky.

It was getting darker outside. The only thing that lightened the bedroom in which three people, make that two living humans and a ghost half dog demon, sitting down by a desk table concentrating on their studies. Well except for the ghost hanyou who in which didn't care anything about school related activities and such.
"So." Kagome started as Inuyasha was floating in circles around the room.
"So?" he retorted.
"Oh for pete's sake," Sango said drumming her pen on the table.
"Pete who?" Inuyasha asked. "This isn't knock knock who's there," Sango said as she fiercely erased her paper. "What if it was and you are just testing me to see if I was stupid enough to fall for it?" Inuyasha tested.
Both girls groaned while they shook their heads.
The girls were finishing up with their algebra homework. "What did you get for question four?" Sango asked Kagome.
"I got 15x. You?" Said girl questioned. "Same."
"Do you think some one is killing students in our school for a reason?" Sango suddenly questioned.
The thought of it frightened Kagome the most, especially about what the girls said. Maybe...I'm
"Oi wench? You okay? You're getting as white as a sheet," Inuyasha said to her.
"I'm fine. Just thinking," she retorted.
"That's right, about the girl. I'm right, right?" Sango said as she lifted her gaze from her paper, she was playing tic tac toe on her paper as a way to take her mind off of math.
Kagome nodded but said nothing more. "Well what I found out was that it was a girl named Kikyou, who died. She was really nice though but something about her sets me off a bit," Sango said tapping her chin with her pen.
"And I thought another person could see me," Inuyasha crossed his arms.
Both girls raised a brow,"And that means?" Sango said, this guy really needs to finish his sentences. "Okay it happened earlier after I disappeared," Inuyasha began.
Flashback
Inuyasha was trying to figure out about what he overheard or what he just could have been possibly imagined. He appeared back inside the school, roaming the halls for any lost memories. That was when he passed by a closet and a girl with long raven hair and brown eyes leaned against the cold green door. "Lost puppy tell me. Why is it that you are still here?" the girl asked.
He stared at her, her face did not change complexion. Not even a smile on her face, he could also feel her piercing stare at him. "I don't know. I thought you were," he began to say before he was cut off. "Alive. No I am not. Curse that vile beast," she muttered.
"Who killed you?" he asked her.
"That is something you would prefer not to know," she said as he took notice of a bow in her possession.
"My name is Kikyou and I inquire your assistance," she said. "What do you want with me. Keh what makes you think I would help you?" he questioned her. "For I am merely a priestess and I could tell you something in what you do not know."
"Keh, why don't you go into that light everybody says before they die." "I could see the light. Though it is dim. For it does not call me there to the other world just yet. We will meet again," with that she materialized.
The girl disappeared and left him standing by himself. Something with her attitude or was it her personality felt severe and cold. "What was that she wanted to tell me? he questioned himself.
End of Flashback
The girls continued on with their homework after what Inuyasha told him, someone is there waiting for the right moment to strike. Though they do not know when or why or even why.
Inuyasha had nothing better to do, then an idea hit him. "I'm bored," Inuyasha said as he popped his head out from under the table desk, terrifying the girls seeing as to how they were on the floor with their hands on their hearts. It was as if the headless horseman chopped his head off his body and placed it on the desk. He had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Can't you be a ghost somewhere else?" Kagome recovered first as she picked up their fallen books and placed them back onto the desk.
Inuyasha shrugged,"I don't know. Maybe I could scare the kid," he muttered as he sat across from Kagome.
"Oh i would like that," Kagome said to herself.
Sango hit her shoulder playful,"Gee, that's a nice thing to do to a little brother. Have a ghost haunt him and send him to the nut house," she said sarcastically.
"Well it's a thought?!" Kagome told her as she shyly scratched her cheek.
Inuyasha gazed at the raven haired girl, she looks cute when she is shy. He ruffly shook his head and got up as he left the room thinking, where did that come from?
Kagome watched him go with a puzzled look. "What's wrong Kags?" Sango asked her as she looked at the said girl then following her gaze to the door.
"I think something's wrong with him," Kagome told her.
"Sure there is. The dude doesn't know what happened or caused his death. Or so he says," Sango said as she closed her notebook. "I didn't mean that," Kagome told her. Sango shrugged,"He probably doesn't know either."
She stood up and stretched her arms, raising them into the air,"Enough homework. Why don't we tell the teacher that the," she looked down at Buyo who was sleeping by her foot. "That the cat scratched our homework."
"That is such a lame excuse," Kagome said laughing at her comment.
"Well we could put fish oil or some treats over it and then BAM!" Sango said making an exploding motion with her hands,"Cat scratches it," she raised her eyebrows and shrugged, planting a smile on her face.
"Sango you do realize it's Friday right?" Kagome asked the brunette. The said girl sweat dropped,"Right. Ah well it was worth a shot," her eyes widened,"Oh My God! It's friday! I didn't realize that! I'm that clueless?" Sango questioned herself.
Kagome continued to laugh,"Maybe we can try that one day, but first," Kagome got up and walked to the bedroom door," I'll go check on ghost boy who's sulking somewhere in the house."
Sango nodded and placed herself back on the floor. As Kagome walked out of the hall she could hear Sango say to Buyo,"You're a fat cat. You know that?"
She shook her head and smile, Sango was some character. She could knock out a person with one punch. I'm glad she's my friend. Now where is-
Kagome stopped when she passed her living room window in which showed the Sacred Tree outside as it seemed to glow under the moonlight, resting on top of a branch was the person she was looking for. Grabbing a thin jacket from her hanger in the closet by the front door, she stepped outside and walked towards the tree.
"Hey, aren't you cold?" she asked him.
Inuyasha looked down to see a smiling Kagome, damn why is everyone so freakin cheerful? "Keh," he said as he let his body go through the branch and floated to her. Kagome gasped then giving him a grin,"I forgot," she said.
"Stupid," he muttered as she took a seat by him.
"What's bugging you?" she asked him looking into his golden orbs with curiosity. He turned his head to the side,"Nothing. Just go away," he bluntly said in a bad tempered tone.
Kagome lifted her hand and gently placed it on his cheek. Inuyasha's eyes widened at her touch, it felt so warm. It made something stir in his stomach, was it because of her?
They both found out that she could not only see or hear him but feel him as well. While he felt cold inside from being a ghost her amiable graze made him feel almost alive. "What a-are you doing?" he asked her as he stuttered.
"Something is troubling you," her sympathetic eyes looked into his. He placed his clawed hand over hers which was on his left cheek. "Nothings...nothings wrong," he told her as he leaned up against the tree. Kagome nodded,"Alright. If anything is troubling. You can trust me okay? You do trust me right?" she questioned him.
Inuyasha didn't know how to answer the question but something, something in his heart was telling him to tell her the truth.
"Oh course I trust you," he whispered as he turned to her, squeezing her hand a little. Kagome's heart skipped a beat, it caused her to blush a little, What's wrong with me?!
"I trust you too," she whispered back. Inuyasha smiled as he closed his eyes. It wasn't long that she fell asleep, her head was resting on his shoulder. So warm, Kagome thought as a smile spread across her face as so did Inuyasha's.
Author's Note:
I do not know whether or not that this was a short chapter but hey at least i'll get to update. And before I forget since you were all wondering, my next story will be called,
One Love, Two Hearts, Three Words.
Summary: There is always a person out there for the other. Even if they had to go through hells to find it. They made it all possible, why? The answers all started with them meeting and it all ends with three words.
And yes it will be for Inuyasha, the pairing, InuxKag of course. SO tell me what you think of it? Like it? Hate it? Which ever, i know the summary may suck but i have high hopes for each and every story i write.
Yours Truly,
Fallen :)
