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!

Hi I'm sorry for the week long wait. I still don't have my computer back and I resorted to another way to update my stories. My phone, which is a pain in the butt since it changes words and never does a single thing I want it to do. I am ending another of my stories this Wednesday, In Another's Place, but don't be mad if I don't update so much for this story. I'm going to update more for One Love Two Hearts Three Words after that story is finished. I'm sorry if this chapter came out short, it's more of a filler-chapter. I can't tell how long it is, since I'm using my phone. So enjoy!

"So the demon slayer and monk intervened with your plan and destroyed your puppet. Why is it such a surprise to you?" Kagura said looking at her fan that was in her hand. Her hair was tied up, wearing a dark fuchsia color with white kimono, a feather in her hair.
"No, that's where you are wrong Kagura, I did expect them to. But what I did not expect was," Naraku held her throat and narrowed his eyes critically at her,"To see her alive. Your little friend told me that she was dead. I sent my puppet to the park to seek out Inuyasha and what I find is to see the girl alive and well. I want her dead. I want the jewel. The only way I can get it, is if you do your damn job right. Now I'll ask you again, why is it that Inuyasha now knows who he is and who she is," Naraku spat at her, letting her go.
Kagura glared at him,"You'll get your damn jewel, but tell me this. Why do you want it so bad?" she said, rubbing her neck.
"All in due time Kagura. For that information, you need to succeed in what I want. Then you'll get your answers. Now that the plan with killing her in the explosion failed, we have to go figure out how else to get her alone. Inuyasha has been with her for every second following her around like a lost puppy," Naraku said, sitting down in his desk chair, the dark room only showed his jaws as the moon was showing outside the window.
A young girl walked in, wearing a white gown, void-less eyes that were as black as coal. Her hair was half up and half down, her hands never leaving the mirror she had in hand. "Good timing Kanna, show me where the priestess I seek is."
Kagura scoffed, I've heard of this Sacred Jewel, one to give you a wish. One that all demons once wanted, but then disappeared many centuries ago. Kagome...this girl is the descendant of that of Midoriko, the one who created it. He wants this girl dead just to get one damn jewel. "How pathetic," she muttered.
"Did you say something," red eyes shot in her direction. Kagura looked away,"No. It was just the wind."

Inuyasha paced around the room, his mother. She was just downstairs and here he was in Kagome's room. It was upsetting that even his own mother couldn't sense, hear or see him. It pained him inside, but he had to accept that he was dead. He looked at Kagome who was sitting on her bed, deep in thought. Something is bothering her, he thought with a concerned look.
"Well, we have to go now Kagome. I'll call you later and figure out what's going on. But you shouldn't leave your house alright," Sango said walking into her room. Kagome gave her a small nod, followed by a hug.
"Hey don't I get one as well," Miroku said, stepping inside and walked towards Kagome.
Inuyasha stepped in between them, his claws sharpened and a certain monks eyes dilated into the size of a dot. "I guess, I'll see you sometime Kagome," Miroku said nervously walked over to Sango.
"Make sure she doesn't take one step out of this house Inuyasha. Or you'll be facing my wrath," Sango said eyeing him as she walked to the door.
"That's not something I want to do, especially if I'm dead."
"What is this the teen police?" Kagome said with a laugh. "Um, unfortunately Kagome, it is," Miroku said to her.
"Oh for Kami's sake, we need to get going. Inuyasha, I know you are feeling weird that your mother is here and all, but she's waiting for us. We called her over since we had things to discuss," Sango informed them.
This caught Inuyasha's and Kagome's attention,"What things?" Inuyasha was the one to ask her.
Sango paled slightly or it must have been the trick of the light, but the stubborn half-demon caught it. "Just things okay, I am not going to be interrogated because of that. Let's go lecher," she said, walking out and flashing them the 'V' sign with her hand. Miroku waved goodbye and left with her.
"They are hiding something," Kagome said, walking up to her door and closing it. Inuyasha nodded,"I know."
After that, they fell silent, being of their confession of love, they could finally discuss it.
"Inuyasha/Kagome..." they both said at the same time.
"You go first," they said in unison. Kagome blushed and looked around the room. Inuyasha rubbed the back of his neck at how uncomfortable the atmosphere became.
Suddenly something crossed his mind and he opened his mouth to speak again,"How did you get out of the school?" Kagome was taken back at the question, but she settled to answer it.
"Kikyo," she answered, sitting down back on her bed in a pretzel way. Inuyasha tilted his head to the side,"Kikyo? Wha..how and when?" he went over to sit with her.
"She was the one who came to me when I was sitting in the room by myself after the sub or who ever it really was, told me that I was in danger. I owe her my life if she wasn't dead," Kagome murmured as Inuyasha pulled her into his arms.
Kagome sighed and closed her eyes,"My life flashed before my eyes as soon as the school exploded. The last thing I thought about, besides my family was you." Inuyasha smiled into her hair. "Me?"
"Yes you and don't you get cocky, I know you," she giggled. Kagome continued,"I thought of how I wouldn't see you and you'll just be roaming around here, trapped and not knowing who you were. But you remember who you are now. Although, I couldn't stop thinking of how...how I wouldn't tell you how much I cared for you. That I loved you and-..." she untangled herself from him and walked over to her window, her back to him.
Her face was red and heating up rapidly. Inuyasha placed his hands on her shoulders and she shivered at his touch, goosebumps started to ride. "Why don't you rest. I'll be here to watch over you," he said.
"You're right. I just need to clear my mind. For all I know, you'll be the first thing I see in the morning," Kagome said turning around to face him. Inuyasha nodded. Things were starting to get a little distant between them. Hopefully, it won't be like that for long.

Was it short? I can't tell. I hope it wasn't a bad chapter. I think this was okay, but not so good. How was it? I thought I wouldn't get to use my phone to post this chapter. But I managed to do it, but then my sister told my parents I was using it. Goodness, little sisters, I hope I don't get in to much trouble. I'm going to post more chapters for In Another's Place if they don't take my phone away. Wish me luck!
Yours Truly,
Fallen :)
