This '……' means thinking, Inuyasha as half-demon(italic)

This '……' is Inuyasha's demon

And This '……' is Inuyasha's human side. (not italic)

Chapter 5

"Inuyasha" she whispered as her eyes became too heavy to hold open and plunged into darkness once again.

Kagomes eyes fluttered open as a small sting ripped up her arm and although it was to small to be a tentacle she couldn't help but think it was. Even with her eyes now wide open she could only see a watery figure through the tears still in her eyes which only terrified her more. As a tear ran down her face her eyes readjusted to her surroundings to revel the figure to be a man in his late twenties, strangely white, but human non the less and definitely not Naraku. Kagome realised the man was holding her arm and weakly tried to pull way but failed as the man looked to her smiling "thank god, your awake kagome." the man said with panic in his voice.

Inuyasha heard the terrifying scream form the kitchen ten times more than miss higorashi and even she had covered her ears from the pain. The small desperate whisper of his name only just reached his ears as he burst thro the kitchen door. He growled as her leaped up the stairs 'I'm coming kagome' he thought running to the room charging throw the door.

Although Inuyasha was growling rather lowly the doctor didn't seam to hear or notice him, nearly splitting the door in two, as he looked to the frightened girl "thank god, your awake" he said putting a hand on her head as she tried to pull away.

In no time at all the doctor was yanked by the hand touching kagome from his position next to the bed and thrown to the wall at the other side of the room landing on Kagomes desk. Inuyasha walked over to the cowering man and hulled him up by the collar. "What did you do to Kagome." her growled as his, supposed fake, claws pierced throw his shirt while his demon screamed in his head 'KILL HIM….KILL HIM. HOW DEAR HE… KILL HIM'.

As Inuyasha's growls deepened kagome began to realise where she was, 'this is my room' she thought 'my bed', tho she still had no idea what was going on she was relived to know that Naraku was no were to be seen. Kagome looked over to the commotion and almost smiled when she saw Inuyasha, she didn't even see the soon-to-be dead or severely injured man struggling in his grasp, all she could think of was that he didn't forget, 'he did come for me, he didn't forget. Ha take that Naraku'. Just then Kagomes mother burst throw the open door to study the scene.

Miss 'H' ran to her daughter still on the bed now looking rather confused. "oh kagome." she said throwing her arms around her "I thought I'd lost you" she said softly into her ear.

"I'm ok mum…really" she managed to say as her mothers death grip loosened.

Miss "H" heired another growl and looked back to the boy holding the terrified doctor mid air. "kagome" she said letting go of her daughter and looking her in the eyes "I need you to tell me the word that control's Inuyasha." she pleaded.

"but mum what for. You know it wont work for you only me…" she asked confused more.

"I know, I know but I need you to say it now for me, make him sit."

At that word Inuyasha's ears perked up as he looked at Kagomes mother.

"but mum Inuyasha's…"

"please kagome what is the word"

"that's easy…" she said and Inuyasha dropped the man he was shaking as he turned to the women on the bed. "… you just say 'sit' and he…". Inuyasha fell to the floor of Kagomes room with a loud thud interrupting kagome. "well he dose that" she finished looking to Inuyasha on the ground apologetically.

'I knew it, exactly alike, I just knew it.' he thought as the man stood and straightened his clothing. He still managed to growl as the doctor gathered his items extremely calmly considering he almost died very painfully.

"and that would be enough Inuyasha." she said as she turned and headed for the door. "I'll get you something to eat dear" she said smiling as she left the room with the doctor following her.

Inuyasha continued growling until he could sit up an cross his arms over his chest. Kagome sat up and looked at Inuyasha, they continued that way in silence as Inuyasha refused to look at her consecrating on something apparently more interesting on the wall. Kagome, hating the silence, began to talk "what's going on Inuyasha? What happened"

Inuyasha just continued looking to the wall stubbornly. "please Inuyasha why did my mum…"

"you a stupid wench" she said interrupting her.

"what!" she said getting angry.

"you a stupid wench. that's what's going on, that's why and that's what happened" he said I his normal angry bickering voice as finally look at her.

"what. Why is it all my fault. what did I do" she replied angrily.

" you went and got yourself sick that's what" he yelled as he stood up

"oh, I'm sorry," she said sarcastically "I'm only human. I cant be immune to every illness out there like you." kagome yelled back now on her knees, still on her bed.

Miss "H" could heir them arguing from the kitchen, 'it's back to normal again' she thought sighing, 'but maybe this time I might but in to give them a little push' she smiled and gathered the food on a tray so kagome could eat in her room. Once she hared the argument settle, as they got out the anger on one another, she decided to head for the room.

Kagome sat on her knees, sill on her bed, as Inuyasha took a few steps back. This was one of their good fights because no-one was reduced to tears, meaning kagome, or 'sat', meaning Inuyasha. Inuyasha thought it strange that they ended the argument so peacefully, without anyone intervening, and fell silent once again. "Inuyasha" he faintly heard from behind him.

"what" he said roughly but softer than his normal tone.

"what really happened to me" she asked sadly.

Inuyasha looked back at the girl and his hearty almost shattered from the pain of seeing her so confused and afraid, sighing and softening his expression he tuned to her. "your mother said you were sick and told me to go after you. When I found you, you had just passed out only seconds after I caught you then I brought you back here end of story" he said turning back around.

"But what about that man" she asked not noticing the low growl, "and what was her doing to me".

Another growl escaped Inuyasha and that one she heard but by the time she looked up Inuyasha was already at the window. "Inuyasha! Where are you going" she asked franticly standing up.

"I don't know who that man was," he said angrily, "but I do know he'll never come back again or he wont be leaving here alive" he said before jumping throw the window and out of sight.

Kagomes mother, who heard everything from the hall, decided to enter the room. Miss higorashi normal would have been heartbroken to see her daughter so upset but sadly she has recently seen this side if her much more and always because or over Inuyasha. She knew that if only she could have seen him when she was unconscious she would Know.

"Kagome" miss higorashi said as Inuyasha leapt from the window and disappeared from sight. Kagome glanced a sad face towards her mother then returned looking to the empty window.

"Kagome, darling what's the matter." she asked already knowing, as she put the food try down on the desk and took as set on the bed next to kagome.

"oh mamma," she sighed, "I just don't know what to do. Sometimes he's the most wonderful person in the world to me, but then he goes and turns into a complete jerk. I just don't understand." she said looking to the sheets under her knees.

"What is it that you don't understand? I might be able to help fill in the blanks" she said warm-heartedly.

"well…" kagome said thinking "Its more of I don't understand Inuyasha".

"I might be able to help you there as well, I have known more men than you my dear" she said winking to her daughter.

"That is true…ok the thing is I don't understand him most of the time, like just then, I don't understand why he got so defensive when I asked him about that man" she said angrily.

"Oh, well that's easy" she said smiling, "he doesn't like him. He was the doctor I called to check on you. I believe he was getting a little over protective." she said with her finger on her chin.

"Yer, he does that sometimes" Kagome said annoyed but strangely happy. "And that's another thing" she said getting confused and angry, "he's over protective of me and supper jealous when Koga's around but he always leaves me to go to Kikyo".

"Well I don't know that one for I don't know this Koga fellow nor much about Kikyo…" and she knew why, her daughter didn't talk much about Kikyo, actually, she tried to avoided the subject all together and miss higorashi could guess why.

"and sometimes" kagome continued, "When it's just Inuyasha and I, we are so close, its like we could never be separated we can almost read each others minds, but other times its like he doesn't care for me at all," kagome said as her voice trembled, "And he saves me… every time, which I am truly grateful for, but then he acts like he only did it because he needs me, because its his job…… is it so hared for him to save me cause he wants to, because he likes to have me around." she said clenching her fists, "sometimes I don't think he even cares at all, that he just tolerates me case I can sense the jewel, I'm just….' she said trying to hold back the tears, "I'm just his… I'm a" she said as the water in her eyes began to cloud her vision "… I'm just… a jewel detector" she said lunging for her mothers lap.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Inuyasha hadn't gone far, in-fact he was only on the roof near Kagomes room, so he could hear every word kagome was saying. Inuyasha could feel the pain scrap down his body as her words hit him, and hit him hared. 'Do I really do that' he thought looking back at all the times he was different around just her than with the others. 'I don't mean to…' he didn't even finish the thought as her next words hit, 'Doesn't she know why I save her.'

'Obviously not if she thinks that' he heard from within his head.

'But everything we've been through, I thought she knew. Why does she think I don't want her to come back here all the time, case I can't…' he was cut off as the smell of salt water hit his nose.

"I'm just… a jewel detector" his eyes widened as he heard her cry, her words ecoed in his mind.

'Is that what… but I didn't… when have I…'

'You say it all the time, remember' the demon said as Inuyasha remembered all the times he had said it or implied it.

'But I haven't…. not for ages' he thought as he jumped to the well making shour no-one noticed.

'Don't you remember Inuyasha? Only two days ago, right where you are standing' it said almost pleased.

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he remembered calling her his jewel finder at the well when she was ill. "but that was… I didn't think… she knew I didn't…" he said.

'Well you were wrong.'

"I didn't… mean to…" he whispered as his bangs covered his face "kagome".
