   i'm gonna put in a fanfiction someone from a different site in so you guys can see it!

Chapter One

~Modern Day Tokyo~

Lady Rumiko sighed and watched her son sulk and pick at his dinner. She truly felt sorry for him, but he really needed to snap out of it! Glancing at her husband, she noticed he was glaring at Inuyasha with more than a little impatience showing on his face. With a temper like his, this was not a good sign.

Her stepson Sesshoumaru was ignoring the uncomfortable atmosphere created by his family, and was calmly eating his dinner as if nothing was wrong. As usual, his face was completely expressionless, and not for the first time did his stepmother wonder if he was even aware of anything going on around him.

They were the only four people at the dinner table that night, which was an uncommon occurrence. Normally Lady Rumiko enjoyed private times like this with her family, but lately Inuyasha wasn't acting at all like him self. It disturbed her to see her son so depressed, but what could she do?

"Inuyasha, aren't you going to eat something?" She chided him gently. "The cook didn't go through all this trouble to prepare your favorite dish just so you could stare at it."

When Inuyasha didn't respond, Lady Rumiko had to shoot her husband a warning glare before he could open his big mouth. Men, would they ever learn there was such a thing as tact? Probably not!

She was about to try again, when to her shock, Sesshoumaru spoke.

"Let him sulk mother." He advised in a cool voice. "It is his birthday after all, and I'm sure he'd rather not be reminded of how old he is."

THIS got Inuyasha's attention like nothing else could, and his head snapped up to growl at his older brother as he glared. "Oi, what are you talking about? You're a lot older than me, Sesshoumaru!"

"Only by two-hundred years." The older full demon sniffed casually, as if the span of time he mentioned was a little as two years. To demons like him, in a way it was.

This caused Inuyasha to growl again before he slumped back into his former posture, not looking at anyone around him. Lady Rumiko watched him sadly, feeling all her hopes die. Just for a moment, she had felt like she had her real son back. Not this depressed, moping, sad faced one, but the one who never let anyone get him down! She almost wished Sesshoumaru would say something rude again, anything to make her son snap out of it!

Lord Tai watched his son with growing annoyance. Inuyasha's sulking was upsetting his wife, and that did not set well with him at all. If this didn't stop soon, he was going doing some serious physical damage to his own son!

"Inuyasha…" The deep voice of his father cut through the tense silence, and Lady Rumiko stiffened, preparing for the worst. "I'm tired of seeing a son of mine acting this way! Just because you can't have what you want doesn't mean you should make your mother miserable."

There was a strained silence for several moments, before Inuyasha finally jerked to his feet. Glaring at his father, he turned without a word and left the room. Everyone in it was unnaturally silent.

"Well." Sesshoumaru suddenly spoke up, startling his father and stepmother once more. "So much for hoping that Inuyasha would finally start acting his age."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that evening in the privacy of their room, Lady Rumiko and Lord Tai were discussing the problem at hand. It had been going on for far too long, and it needed to stop before Inuyasha did something stupid!

"Why can't we just find him a nice demon woman?" His father grumbled.

This caused Lady Rumiko to roll her eyes. Men were so clueless sometimes. "Because you know he's not excepted for what he is. Hanyou's are looked down on by all the demons. What chance is there we are going to find one that would want him?"

Lord Tai frowned as he thought about this. "I suppose you're right, but we can't exactly find a suitable human either. Inuyasha would far out live one with his demon blood."

"The only way we could fix that problem is if we could find him a human miko like myself. But they are so rare and nearly impossible to locate. What would the chances be of us finding one?"

This problem had had been plaguing their family for some time now. Inuyasha was at an age where he was very lonely, but finding a mate for him would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. And as the situation looked more hopeless for the hanyou, the more depressed and withdrawn he would become.

The only way they would be able to find someone suitable would be to find a girl with miko powers. With those powers, it would be possible for her be bound to a youkai, or even a hanyou, sharing their life span. That is the only way Lady Rumiko had managed to survive for so long since she was human.

"I've looked for so long Tai. I know I would feel it if I ever manage to come in contact with one, but that has only happened once in the last one-hundred years!"

This caused her husband to smile in amusement. "Not exactly a match for Inuyasha, was she?"

Lady Rumiko gave an unlady-like snort. "Not exactly. Maybe because she was 75, had no teeth, and had a thing for attacking people she thought were demons. I can't believe she tried to hit you with her cane!"

He waved this off. "It's not like it hurt me. I'm a youkai, much stronger than you lowly mortals." Lord Tai had to avoid a very well aimed shoe for that remark!

After the fuming lady of the house finally calmed down, she went back to the original subject.

"I can try looking around more carefully, but I honestly don't believe there is one anywhere in Tokyo. I would have found her by now."

A comforting arm wrapped around her shoulders, and she sighed happily.

"Don't worry about it." Her husband advised. "Inuyasha will come around sooner or later. If he doesn't, I'll knock some sense into him."

Lady Rumiko groaned. "That's exactly what I'm afraid of!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

The influential youkai family's home was a large one situated among some of the most beautiful forest area in Japan. They lived outside of Tokyo, far enough away for peace and quiet, but close enough that they had easy access to the large city.

Practically on the other side of Tokyo there was a small family run shrine. It was a quiet neighborhood, but still within the city limits. The shrine was kept by the Higurashi family, and had been for many centuries. It was a very old, sacred place.

An old man was the true keeper of the shrine, along with his only granddaughter Kagome. Since she was seventeen years old and the eldest of his two grandchildren, that put her next in line to inherit the shrine. Kagome really had no interest in taking over the shrine, but it was, after all, family tradition.

A calm summer afternoon was upon them, and school was out. Kagome's younger (and only) brother Sota was taking full advantage of the free time, and had become a video game zombie. Kagome on the other hand was forced to work at the shrine in her spare time.

"Sota, don't you want to take over the shrine from Grandpa? You are a boy after all!" Kagome gave him the most pathetic look he could muster.

Sota didn't even look up from the video game he was playing, and answered like all sympathetic siblings would. "Nice try. You're older, remember?"

Kagome stomped her foot and huffed angrily. "Mou, how can you be so cruel to your only sister? If I hear the history behind one more thing today, I'm going to go mad!!!"

"KAGOME!"

Both children froze at the sound of their grandfather's voice.

Sota laughed nervously. "You'd better go. After all, he's looking for you!"

"SOTA!"

That completely wiped the smile of Sota's face, and he began to panic along with Kagome. Frantically searching her mind for an idea, she asked her brother the first thing she could think of.

"Where's mama?" Kagome hissed quietly.

"She went out!"

This answer caused Kagome to suddenly smile brightly. "In that case, I think I need to go…shopping! Yeah, I forgot all about my friend's birthday! Mama won't mind since she wasn't here to ask."

Running out of the room, she slipped on her shoes in record time and was out the door before Sota could even figure out what was going on! The poor boy ran to the door after her, calling frantically.

"TAKE ME WITH YOU KAGOME!"

Alas, it was too late. Kagome had left her poor brother in the dust.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Where are you going?" Sesshoumaru's toneless voice inquired of his stepmother.

Lady Rumiko smiled at him. "I need to go shopping today while you're father is gone. His birthday is coming up next you know. Don't you dare tell though!"

Sesshoumaru waved off her concern. "While your out, could you get me something?"

"Of course, what do you need?"

Walking out of the room, he didn't even bother to look back. "Chocolate."

Lady Rumiko rolled her eyes. "What is it with him? I thought chocolate was supposed to be poisonous to dogs. Oh well, to each his own."

With this odd request stuck in her head, Lady Rumiko set off on her shopping trip, bodyguards in tow. Perhaps she would find an interesting birthday present for someone other than her husband on this trip. I guess we'll see!

Chapter Two

"Inuyasha?"

"Go away."

Sango frowned at the rude response that came from the hanyou on the other side of the door. She was never known for being easily frightened by anything, so that certainly didn't stop her! How else would she end up one of the few humans working in a youkai home?

"I'm not leaving Inuyasha, so I suggest you let me in!"

"Go to hell!"

This didn't phase her either! Everyone was used to Inuyasha's bad attitude, but Sango was one of the few that refused to put up with it.

"If you don't open this door right now, I am gonna go get permission from Sesshoumaru right now for me to break it down so I can kick your butt!"

Some muted grumbling could be heard on the other side of the door before Inuyasha reluctantly threw it open. Maybe he had to let her in, but that doesn't mean he has to talk to her!

Sango sighed in relief as she followed him back into the room. "Finally! What's wrong with you lately? You're mother told me what happened at dinner last night."

Inuyasha flopped back down on his bed where he had been before Sango had so rudely disturbed him. Resuming his staring at the ceiling, he ignored her completely. Counting the cracks in the plaster was safer than talking about his problems any day, even if she clobbered him for it!

Watching him give her the cold shoulder, Sango nearly pulled her hair out in frustration! "Listen, I know I shouldn't stick my nose into something as private as you're love life, but-"

Inuyasha snorted. "What love life?"

Sango sighed and tried again. "That's a good point, but still, you shouldn't-"

"Just stop it Sango." He sat up and growled at her, his white ears twitching madly on top of his head. "Do you really think I want to be reminded of that? I think about it too much already! You're not helping things, so maybe you should just leave."

Sango's anger melted away, and she stared at him with sad eyes. "Fine, if that's the way you want it. But I don't like seeing you like this, and I know Miroku and your mother hate it as well. You just need to give it some more time, I'm sure you'll find somebody!"

Inuyasha sighed and ran a clawed hand through his hair. "I know you're only trying to help me and I appreciate it." He muttered, almost too low for her to hear. "But when you've been alone and rejected as long as I have, you learn to lose hope real fast."

"Oh Inuyasha…"

He managed a weak smile. "Don't worry about it. Just get back to work before the cook realizes you ditched your duties again. I'm surprised my mother keeps you around, you skip out on your work so much."

This made Sango laugh, mostly out of relief that he at least seemed to be trying. It was sadly pathetic though compared to his usual rude remarks. "I probably should get back to work before your mother gets home."

Inuyasha looked at her in surprise. "Where did she go?"

"Out shopping. Sesshoumaru asked for her to pick him up some more chocolate again." Sango grinned.

This information made Inuyasha smirk. No matter how depressed he was, he never missed out on a chance to make his brother's life miserable. "If you see my mother before he does, get the chocolate and give it to me."

She gave him a mock salute. "Yes sir!"

For the first time in a while, someone walked away from talking to Inuyasha with a smile on their face, thanks to Sesshoumaru of all people!

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ummm, Lady Rumiko…I don't want to stick my nose where it doesn't belong, but…you're going to get Lord Tai underwear for his birthday?" It took all of Miroku's discipline not to sweat drop.

The look he got from her was one of confusion. "Why not? He needs new ones." She turned her back to the bodyguard and flipped through a few boxers on display. "I really like the smiley face ones. What do you think?"

"Very nice." He nodded and gave her a fake smile, trying not to get into trouble. "But if you will allow me to give you a few more, Ah, romantic suggestions since that is my specialty…" Trailing off, he noticed his employer was no longer paying a bit of attention to him. In fact, she dropped the boxers she was holding and began to walk off with a dazed look on her face. "Lady Rumiko? What's wrong?"

As if she didn't hear him, she continued to walk off. This worried Miroku greatly, and he followed her closely. At the moment, he was the only guard actually in the store with her.

Lady Rumiko's entire focus seemed to be entirely on one girl. She looked to be about 16 or 17, digging through a display of brightly colored nail polish, oblivious to the attention she was suddenly receiving.

"Excuse me…"

"Yes?" Kagome looked up from the display and smiled. "Did you need something?"

'What am I suppose to say?' Lady Rumiko fretted to herself, suddenly at a loss. 'Hi, I'm a miko and so are you, will you come home with me and marry my son because without you he's impossible to live with anymore?'

Instead, she finally settled on, "Do I know you from somewhere? You're familiar…"

Kagome frowned in thought. "I don't think so. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else." The frown soon turned into a bright smile as she held out her hand. "My name is Higurashi Kagome."

Not missing the chance to have physical contact with the girl, Lady Rumiko shook Kagome's hand eagerly. When they touched, she felt what could almost be described as an electric shock run through her hand. This odd occurrence only served to confirm her suspicions. After all this time, she finally found one!

Giving Kagome her most friendly smile, she responded. "It's so nice to meet you!"

"And my name is Miroku!" Another voice barged in.

Grabbing Kagome's hand, he gave her his most dashing smile. "Would you do me the honor of bearing my child lovely lady?"

Poor Kagome looked like a fish out of water! Her mouth was opening and closing, but just couldn't seem to find a suitable response!

"MIROKU!" The warning came just a moment before something heavy collided with his head. And everyone thought Inuyasha got his temper from just his father!

"Please forgive me Lady Rumiko!" He muttered, hurriedly stepping away from Kagome. Even Miroku knew when enough was enough.

Smiling at Kagome once again, she tried to make up an excuse. "Don't mind Miroku. He likes pretty girls just a little too much for his own good."

"That's okay…I think…"

"Anyway dear, I'm sorry to have bothered you. It was very nice meeting you though."

Kagome recovered enough to smile at the nice lady. "It's alright, really."

"Enjoy you're shopping!"

Kagome watched as Lady Rumiko dragged Miroku away until they were out of sight. Finally shrugging to herself, she picked out a bottle of blue nail polish that matched her eyes. "That had to be the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me." She muttered.

Poor Kagome, the girl really has no clue that the weirdness has only just begun…

~*~*~*~*~*~

Lady Rumiko returned that afternoon, one bodyguard short. No, she didn't clobber Miroku and dump his body somewhere, as much as she would have liked to for his flirting with Kagome. Instead, she sent him to follow her. They needed to know more about her, as well as where she lived. If anyone could find that out, Miroku could!

Running into her husband's study, she frowned when she realized he wasn't back yet. And just when she had such exciting news!

She really wanted to tell Inuyasha, but decided it was safer if they waited till they had more information on this Kagome. The last thing she wanted to do was get her son's hopes up, only for them to come crashing down later.

Grabbing the phone on the corner of Lord Tai's desk, she dialed his cell phone number, her fingers shaking with suppressed excitement.

"Hello?"

"Tai? I found one!"

"One what?" Her husband's voice was more than a little confused.

"I'm so excited Tai! I have been looking for so long, and-"

Her husband's growl cut her off. "Is this about that shoe you couldn't find this morning? You called to tell me about that?!?!"

Lady Rumiko's face registered her nearly comical surprise, and she had to stop a moment to gather her wits. "No, no, not a shoe! I mean I finally found a MIKO!"

There was a moments pause. "She's not 75 or older?"

His wife smiled. "No."

"She doesn't carry a cane?"

"Certainly not!"

"And she didn't attack you?"

"She was very polite."

Lord Tai's deep, rumbling laugh could be heard. "I suppose you can start planning the wedding then dear."

This got a laugh out of Lady Rumiko. "I will. But I won't tell Inuyasha anything yet. I'll wait till you get home."

"That's good. I wouldn't miss this announcement for the world."

Lady Rumiko smiled, knowing how excited Inuyasha would be. "Neither would I…"

Chapter Three

Later that evening, Inuyasha had finally talked himself into going downstairs to look for food. His long, beautiful hair was a rat's nest, and his shirt looked like he hadn't changed it in at least two days. Everyone's dream man, right?

He hadn't made it very far past the stairs though when his sensitive ears suddenly picked up a burst of laughter from several people. Very LOUD laughter at that, and coming from his father's study of all places!

Moving cautiously towards the unusual sound, he listened carefully. It certainly wasn't every day his father laughed like that. In fact, he NEVER did, which worried Inuyasha more than just a little. Had his father finally lost his mind?

His ears moving like little antennas, he finally started to pick out voices. The first voice he managed to single out happened to be his mother's, so he paid careful attention to what she was saying.

"Oh, this is priceless! (GASP) We finally find one, and you say she likes CATS?!?!" His mother continued to laugh along with his father, before another person in the room managed to answer her.

"That is the case." Miroku's unmistakable voice replied. "She had a rather fat one she called Buyo for a pet. In fact, before she went to bed I noticed she was even wearing very adorable cat PJ's!"

The laughter from his parents died as suddenly as it had started, and the lack of sound could be described as nothing less than ominous. If only Inuyasha had some clue what the heck they were talking about!

A moment later Lord Tai spoke up, and he did NOT sound happy! "You were spying on her in her ROOM?"

An offended gasp sounded. "Me, do something so crude? Of course not, I merely saw her when she went downstairs to get a drink of water! I would never sink so low as to peek in a girl's window."

Silence again reigned for a few moments before Lady Rumiko decided to speak. "For Miroku's safety, perhaps we shouldn't mention that to Inuyasha."

At that moment, the study door swung open and hit the adjoining wall with a loud bang, giving Miroku and Lady Rumiko a near heart attack! It didn't seem to phase Lord Tai at all. All turned to see the subject under discussion standing there, looking like he had just crawled out of bed, which he probably had!

Miroku began to splutter nervously. "Ahh, Inuyasha.um, what brings you in here? We were, hehe, just talking about you!" A drop of sweat rolled down his head.

"I noticed." Inuyasha gave his friend the glare of death.

"Not that it was anything bad, I swear!" Miroku hastened to explain. He knew better than to get a dog demon - even a half dog demon- mad if he valued his life at all.

This went on for several moments, and Inuyasha's glare continued to darken. Finally getting tired of watching Miroku slowly but surely dig his own grave, Lady Rumiko decided to intervene.

"Miroku, why don't you go check on Sango? Or something!"

He didn't need to be told twice! Creeping past Inuyasha as if he were some wild animal about to pounce, Miroku dashed for the safety of the kitchen and Sango's lovely presence.

Once the three were alone, Lady Rumiko allowed herself to smile widely at Inuyasha. "We have some very good news for you!"

"Keh! Is Sesshoumaru finally moving out?"

His mother laughed lightly. "Oh, this news is much better than that, and I think you'll agree with me when you hear it."

Her son snorted again in disbelief, but waited for her to tell him whatever it was, curious despite himself.

After being silent for so long, his father finally spoke up with a rare smile on his face. "Your mother finally managed to find someone with miko powers." As if it were an afterthought, he added, "And she isn't 75, violent, has teeth, and she doesn't carry a cane!"

Lady Rumiko sweat dropped.

Inuyasha frowned, unable to believe what his father was saying. "Is this some kind of joke?"

"No, it isn't! I really did find one!" His mother hastened to explain. "Her name is Higurashi Kagome, and she lives at the Higurashi shrine on the other side of Tokyo. Black hair, blue eyes, and very pretty I might add."

"And she's under 75."

That earned a frown from his wife. "Hush Tai, you're only confusing him." Turning back to Inuyasha, who could only stand there in stunned silence, she smiled again. "She is WELL under 75. I would say she's about 16, maybe 17 at most."

Golden eyes wide with shock, Inuyasha couldn't get out a full sentence at that moment to save his life! "You mean.she.you found."

"Inuyasha, you're never going to win points with any woman if you bumble around like an idiot." His father advised him.

"What are you waiting for?" His mother prodded, shooing him out the door. "I bet you want to go see her and I don't blame you one bit! Just behave yourself and don't do anything your father wouldn't do."

Lord Tai growled. "That's not exactly the best advice to give him dear."

Walking out of the room in a daze and ignoring his parents' argument that had just started, Inuyasha almost crashed into Sango and Miroku as they emerged from the kitchen.

"INUYASHA!" Sango cried, nearly bowling him over! "Miroku just told me the news! This is exactly what you've been waiting for!"

This seemed to snap Inuyasha out of his zombie state, and the information finally registered in his brain for the first time. "It is, isn't it?"

"Are you going to go check?" Miroku inquired. "If so, may I recommend a tree right by her bedroom window on the south side of the." He noticed the dark looks coming from Sango and Inuyasha. "You know, I think I'll go drown myself in the pool if you'll be so kind as to excuse me."

Edging away from them, he turned to run when Inuyasha barely beat Sango to the punch, so to speak, hehe.okay, bad joke!

"Pervert! If I hear you've done anything else I'll personally drown you in the pool!" The hanyou threatened. NOTHING was going to ruin this for him!

"I think he's unconscious Inuyasha."

"He deserved it!"

Giving the pervert on the floor a kick for good measure, Inuyasha ran for the stairs. He had a look of excitement on his face that Sango hadn't seen in a long time, like a little kid on Christmas morning. Before he could get far though, she called to him.

"Wait, Inuyasha!"

He jerked to a halt at the top of the steps, looking annoyed. "What, Sango?"

"Before you go on your little spying venture."

"Yeah?"

"Do her a favor and get a bath! She'll smell you coming from a mile away!"

"Keh!" Despite the rude noise, he still made his way to the bathroom, determined to do things right. This was obviously that important to him!

After he was gone, Sango crouched down to examine Miroku. "Hey, are you okay? Wake up!" She slapped him on the face a few times.

Groaning, he shifted slightly closer to her. "San.go."

She leaned nearer to him. "Do you need some help Miro- HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!"

Before Miroku's wondering hand could get in more than a small squeeze, Sango knocked him out cold! Whoever said dog demons are more dangerous than mere humans? They either must not have ever met Sango, or else they weren't a pervert.

* * * *

Inuyasha was dressed all in black, creeping around the dark grounds of the Higurashi shrine. All of his snowy white hair was tucked securely under a black knit cap. It probably would have been better if he could have hid his nearly glowing gold eyes, but not even a dog demon could get away with wearing shades in the middle of the night and still be able to see.

Climbing the tree mentioned by Miroku (and grumbling the whole time about the fact that Miroku knew that much, even if it was a helpful tip), he located the bedroom window. Luckily for him it was hot enough for the window to be open.

Inviting himself in, he silently jumped from the tree branch to the windowsill, careful not to wake up the sleeping girl.

'So that's what they were laughing at.' He thought to himself as he noticed Buyo sleeping beside her, dead to the world. 'Figures the potential mate of a DOG demon would have to like CATS!' He was going to get teased about that one for a long time to come.

Inuyasha suddenly felt his mouth go dry as his eyes moved to the other figure in the bed. She was sleeping soundly on her side, her face turned towards him. His eyes looked softer than they had in a long time. To him, she was nothing short of beautiful.

Creeping closer as quietly as possible so he wouldn't wake up her or the cat, he decided to take a closer look. He couldn't seem to resist the temptation! He wanted to touch her.see if she was real. The thought that he might actually have a chance for a life with this girl completely bowled him over.

Reaching a clawed hand out, he carefully ran his finger down her cheek. His touch was feather light, and caused her to sigh and shift slightly. He jerked his hand back as if he'd been burned.

When she didn't wake up, he calmed down a bit, and bravely tried it again. This time though, he leaned closer so he could smell her.

'She smells nice.all fruity or something.'

He was so wrapped up in his little heaven, he failed to notice Buyo wake up. The cat, not liking this new intruder or his doggy smell, hissed at him, effectively breaking the silence.

Startled out of dazed state, Inuyasha moved back and to the side quickly, trying to get away from the cat. Not being careful enough though, he accidentally knocked her alarm clock off the nightstand!

*Rrriiiinnnnnggggg*

"Oh great! I gotta get out of here NOW!" He muttered under his breath, grabbing the clock without thinking. Running for the window, he jumped out just as Kagome stirred.

As he made his escape, Inuyasha managed to crush the alarm clock with his fist to stop its ringing. He breathed a ragged sigh of relief when the sound stopped, and turned to look inside the room from the safety of his perch.

Inside, Kagome blinked sleepily. "Buyo, am I crazy or is my alarm clock gone? I would have sworn I heard it go off." The cat answered her with a loud meow.

Inuyasha smirked. 'If she only knew.'

Kagome suddenly started to sniff. "What IS that smell?"

Inuyasha froze, feeling panicked again. 'It can't be me she smells! I took a shower just like Sango told me to!'

"It smells like.a wet dog or something."

A small growl escaped his lips, and a clawed hand moved self consciously to his head of still wet hair, covered by the knit cap. "It's not my fault I didn't have time to dry my hair before I left."

Inuyasha watched silently for a few more moments as Kagome searched fruitlessly for her missing alarm clock. Finally giving up, she went back to bed muttering something about killing Sota in the morning for stealing it.

A satisfied smirk crossed Inuyasha's face, before making himself at home in the tree for the remainder of the night. "Just wait Kagome." He whispered. "You're gonna meet you're dream man tomorrow.or should I say your dream hanyou."

Chapter Four

The morning sun rose, shining its light on the small shrine house and the tall tree standing by its side. A black lump could be seen if one looked carefully, along with a bright glint of something. Upon closer inspection we find that the glint is really a tiny river of drool running down Inuyasha's chin as he slept. How could Kagome ever think of passing up this fine male specimen?

He slept rather peacefully, ignoring the sounds around him. He didn't stir at all until a loud slamming nearly made him fall out of the tree!

*BAM!*

"Kagome, hurry up! You can't stay in the bathroom all day!" Yelled the voice of what sounded like a small boy. A very ANNOYED boy at that!

"But I'm not done yet!"

"Tough!"

Thankfully, Inuyasha just managed to latch onto the tree branch to steady himself before Kagome made a rather loud entrance into her room, wearing nothing but a towel! If he hadn't been holding onto that branch, he would have found himself a hanyou pancake!

"Mou, I can't believe him! I swear he spends more time in the bathroom than any teenage girl I've ever met!"

Fascinated and unable to look away, Inuyasha watched as she rummaged around in her drawers, looking for some clothes to change into. He knew better than to watch, but he is a man after all, and when do they ever listen to good sense?

Kagome pulled out a short blue sun dress as well as any other clothing she would need to wear, but still didn't discard the towel.

'I shouldn't watch, I shouldn't watch, I shouldn't watch.' Inuyasha mentally chanted. 'If she ever found out about this, she would kill me, and I'd rather live to enjoy this.besides, I'm not Miroku, I know better! At least I thought I did.'

His frantic thoughts swept through his mind at blinding speed, so none of them actually had long enough to sink in! If they had, it might have saved Inuyasha a few bruises.

After another moment, Kagome dropped the towel, disregarding the open widow completely! Gold eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight (a very nice one at that) before him. Kagome was naked!

The poor tree never had a chance as Inuyasha's sharp claws dug into it with all his might, barely able to keep control over his own actions. The grip of one hand alone would have been enough to break the branch, but two? Oh, not good at all.

*CRACK!*

The sharp sound of splitting wood echoed loudly as Inuyasha's grip tightened, sending large cracks up and down his perch. That weakened it considerably, making the branch unable to support his weight. Looking around frantically, Inuyasha knew he could do only one thing, or fall with the branch and get caught!

Kagome watched in shock as a black clad figure jumped in her window, straight at her! She opened her mouth to scream, but couldn't before he tackled her and covered her mouth with his hand. Thankfully at this point, she was at least dressed!

"Don't scream!" He hissed, keeping a tight grip on her. "I swear I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?" His eyes watched her intently with a tinge of wariness.

Kagome glared back at him with all the anger she could muster, despite how she much she liked what she saw. Those golden eyes were amazing! Who has an eye color like that? The rest of the face wasn't bad either, but Kagome just couldn't seem to look away from those big eyes.as weird as it sounded, she didn't really feel threatened by him, even if he had just jumped in her bedroom window!

'Damn, now she's gonna hate me for sure! Why the hell do I have such horrible luck?' He felt his heart slowly sinking as she struggled.

The problem at hand had to be the most difficult one he had ever had to deal with. If he let her go and she screamed, warning her family, he'd never be able to go near her again! But he couldn't just stand there with her all day! There just HAD to be a solution. But what?

After several moments, he finally sighed and gave her an apologetic look. This caused her to pause in her struggling.

"Sorry Kagome, I guess there's no hope for it. I'll just have to take you home with me and see what happens."

Kagome's eyes widened in horror. 'What does this guy mean, take me home with him? And HOW THE HECK DID HE KNOW MY NAME?!?!'

The look Kagome was giving him made him feel terribly guilty. He knew she would really hate him for doing this to her, but he couldn't help himself! He wanted to get to know her so badly and this seemed like the only way it was going to happen.

Picking her up with one arm, and keeping his other hand firmly across her mouth, Inuyasha carefully peered out the window. It seemed the sound of the cracking branch hadn't caught anyone's attention because he had made it off before it actually fell, so it was safe for him to jump.

Kagome stiffened as she felt him leap from the windowsill, sure they were going to fall to their deaths or at least break a few bones. Who could handle a jump like that, especially while carrying someone?

To her relief and shock, he landed smoothly, as if he had just jumped off a step and not a two-story window! Was this boy even human? With those gold eyes, she seriously began to wonder.

As soon as Inuyasha managed a safe landing, he ran swiftly across the yard, keeping out of sight of the house as much as possible. Not that he really worried about being seen. If someone looked, all they would really see is a black and blue blur cause he was so fast.

'This guy can't be human! Is he possibly a youkai?' Kagome wondered. 'He's not acting threatening or anything, but I still can't trust him.'

Heading back towards home, Inuyasha decided to stick to the less populated areas and skirt the city. He also stayed on rooftops for the most part, a place people weren't likely to be looking.

Inuyasha smiled grimly when they were almost in sight of his home. 'I have no idea what kind of reaction this is gonna get it, but I have a feeling it isn't gonna be good.'

* * * *

"INUYASHA!" Sango yelled brandishing a table lamp at him. "I can't believe you KIDNAPPED HER! I thought you had more morals than that!!!!"

The nervous hanyou ducked as she took a wild swing at him with her 'weapon'. "Look wench, that wasn't my original intention, okay? It just kind of...happened!"

Unfortunately for Inuyasha, the first person he had met coming into the house had been Sango, and she wasn't known for her calm temper where men were concerned. One look at the frightened Kagome, and she was after him like a shot!

Standing behind Sango where she obviously felt protected was a very upset Kagome. She was glaring at him with her arms folded across her chest. Inuyasha couldn't help but wonder in passing if she had a temper as scary as Sango's.

"What is going on in here?" A stern voice called out as Lady Rumiko entered the front hall. Kagome turned to look at her and her eyes widened in shock.

"Oh my God! It's.it's you from the store! You were with that pervert that asked me to bear his child!"

That gave both Sango and her current victim a pause, and they stopped their fighting to stare at Kagome. "HE DID WHAT?!?!" They both roared in unison.

Kagome sweat dropped, not knowing what else to say.

Lady Rumiko was oblivious to this. "KAGOME! You decided to come visit us! Are you planning on staying a while so you can get to know Inuyasha better?" During this, she had walked over and grabbed Kagome's hands as if she were her long lost daughter that had finally come home.

The poor girl was really at a loss now. "Umm.why would I want to do that?"

A look of confusion crossed Lady Rumiko's face, and Inuyasha suddenly became very interested in the floor. "Why? Because you will become his mate one day of course! How did your family take the news?"

"His.his.MATE?!?!" Kagome spluttered.

Lady Rumiko smiled. "Of course, isn't it wonderful that he finally found you? My poor son has been so lonely for so long, and then you come along.it's like a dream come true!"

If Inuyasha had been embarrassed before, his face was so red now you couldn't have told the difference between it and a tomato. Kagome wasn't much better off, and the look of horror and confusion on her face made it even worse!

Sango had been fairly quiet during this, and now figured it would be a good time to speak up. "Uh, Lady Rumiko."

"Yes dear?"

"I don't think Inuyasha's actually explained anything to her yet.since he KIDNAPPED her and all."

Lady Rumiko's eyes widened and she turned on her son who was smart enough to take several steps back, away from his enraged mother.

"HOW COULD YOU INUYASHA!" She yelled, shaking her fist. "I thought I raised you better than that! You're three hundred years old, you should know better than that by now!"

Kagome gasped. "Three hundred.years? This is some kind of joke, right?"

"I wish." Inuyasha muttered, not looking at her.

Lady Rumiko turned to her with a sigh. "No Kagome dear, it's not a joke. This is a youkai household. Sango and I are very much human, though. I am married to the Lord of the house, and as for Inuyasha.well, why don't you just take off your cap son and let her see."

Inuyasha felt a moment of panic. What if she was cruel to him, and rejected him like so many had before? Feeling a surge of stubbornness, he crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air. "Keh! Why should I?"

"Because I said so."

No intelligent son or daughter would dare argue with a statement like that coming from their parent! Growling, he moved to obey his mother. Grabbing the top of the knit cap, he pulled it off in one swift move.

Kagome watched in amazement as the most beautiful, long white hair she had ever seen came tumbling off the top of his head! Admittedly it was somewhat on the messy side, but it was still by far the most eye-catching head of hair she had ever seen in her life!

The next feeling she had was quite unexpected, and she could have kicked herself for feeling that way! She had the most uncontrollable urge to run her fingers through it! Balling her hands into tight fists, she forced herself to stay where she was.

Lady Rumiko suddenly spoke up, sounding amused. "Straighten your hair Inuyasha. You can't see them it's such a mess!"

'See what?' Kagome wondered.

Her question was soon answered! Using his fingers, Inuyasha combed through his hair in exactly the same manner she wanted to just a moment ago, causing her heart to skip a beat and left her transfixed - until she noticed something else.

"Oh my God." She whispered. "He has.dog ears!"

"CUTE!" Kagome squealed for the thousandth time as she rubbed the small, triangular ears between her thumb and fingers. Inuyasha sighed and continued to let her, even as he wondered if he was going to have any fur left before she was done. (Ewww, Inuyasha with bald ears, not a pretty mental picture.)

"Well, I suppose we don't have to worry about her reaction to that anymore." Sango remarked dryly. "If everyone reacted to him like that, he wouldn't have anything to worry about!"

"Keh! If everyone reacted to me like this, I'd never come out of my room again!"

"Don't tell me you don't like it." Kagome interjected. "If you didn't then you wouldn't be purring like that."

Inuyasha blushed and began to splutter. "You didn't have to tell everyone that!"

As if she didn't hear him, Kagome continued calmly. "I didn't know dog demons could purr."

"I didn't either till I met Inuyasha's father. " Lady Rumiko commented. "It is a mystery to everyone. Maybe my husband's family bred with cats once in the past."

"You can't be serious!" Inuyasha yelled. "None would have sunk that low!"

Kagome frowned. "I happen to like cats, thank you very much!"

"Umm.what I meant was."

"Save it."

Inuyasha's shoulders slumped in defeat. Why did he have to stick his foot in his mouth every time he turned around? Any ground he might have gained with the ears was slowly slipping away.

As if suddenly realizing she was supposed to hate him, Kagome dropped her arms and warily took a step back. The loss of her standing so close left Inuyasha feeling depressed. Did he really like her that much already?

"I think I want to go home now." Kagome stated quietly.

Lady Rumiko frowned. "You don't plan on staying for a while? Inuyasha will miss you if you leave!"

Wrong thing to say! Kagome took a deep breath to calm herself before she spoke again. "Thank you for the offer, but I wouldn't stay in this house with him if it were the last place on earth!" She gritted out.

"Hmmm, seems we have a bit of a problem here. Sango, why don't you take our guest to the kitchen and find her some breakfast? Inuyasha, you stay here because I want to talk to you." The last sentence she spoke was said sternly, leaving no room for argument.

Kagome wasn't thrilled with having to stay any longer, but she was hungry, so she willingly followed Sango to the back of the large house. When she was gone, Lady Rumiko turned angry eyes on her son.

"What were you thinking Inuyasha? You could very well have just ruined any chance you might have had with her!"

Inuyasha cringed. "Like I said before, it was an accident!"

"I think you had better tell me all about this little 'accident'. Maybe then we can think of some way to fix this mess."

Thus, the explaining began. Lady Rumiko sat silently throughout the whole story, not interrupting, even when she felt like slapping him a few times for his stupidity. The one thing that kept running through her mind was 'Is this pervert really my son?'

"That's the whole story." Inuyasha ended. He gazed expectantly at his mother, looking for any hope she might possibly offer him.

"As much as I hate to admit it, we have a huge problem here." Lady Rumiko admitted.

Inuyasha felt his heart sink six feet under.

"But there is still some hope!"

Maybe things weren't as bad as he thought! "Really?"

"As much as she doesn't want to admit it to herself, and especially not to you, I can tell she's attracted to you. And that's even after she found out about you being a hanyou."

The white ears on top of his head perked up hopefully from their earlier flattened state.

"Stranger still, even though you did something as creepy as kidnapping her, she doesn't seem to fear you at all. That's a very good sign, although it makes me question her sanity." She winked to let him know she was just joking.

His mother was slowly but surely scraping his mushed hopes off the floor.

"Seriously though, I can't help but think that if we dare let her out of this house, she is probably going to avoid you for the rest of her natural life."

Only to mush them once more! What a tactful mother!

"Then what can we do?" He growled. "Lock her in a room with only bread and water till she decides to like me?"

Lady Rumiko smiled. "Of course not, we have gotten much more civilized since the time your father met me."

Inuyasha sweat dropped and decided not to question that statement.

"Instead, I have an idea! Now Inuyasha, go find Miroku and send him to me. Give us a few minutes alone, then go to the kitchen and send Kagome in here. By then Miroku should be long gone, and I will need to talk to her. Okay, I am going to tell you what I have decided to do, and if you screw this up, I'm going to let Sango beat you to a pulp, understand?"

Inuyasha gulped and nodded, before listening carefully to his mother. It didn't take long before he was smiling widely and leaving to do his mother's bidding.

* * * *

"Did you want to talk to me?" Kagome questioned. She was hoping they were going to make arrangements to send her home so she tried to be nice.

Lady Rumiko smiled. "Please sit down Kagome." Waiting for her to settle in, she then continued. "I have been talking with Inuyasha, and it has come to my attention that you know next to nothing about what is going on. Since you have been dragged into this, it's only fair you know the details."

Kagome nodded uncertainly for her to continue, not at all sure what to expect.

Inuyasha's mother smiled sadly. "It all starts with the fact that Inuyasha is a hanyou. Demons and humans alike shun him for what he is, and as a result, he's very lonely. At his age, when demons usually take a mate, he's unable to, because who would have him? Demon women look down on him like he's a speck of dirt under their feet."

Feeling an unwanted pang of sympathy towards her kidnapper, Kagome couldn't help but ask "What about human women?"

"They aren't quite as bad, but there is still a problem there. Demons live a long time as you've noticed from things we have said. An average human would die long before a demon, or even a half demon like Inuyasha would."

Understanding dawned, but Kagome was still confused about something. "If that's a problem, then why would he want a human either? Wouldn't I die sooner than him as well?"

Lady Rumiko shook her head. "No, you're different Kagome. Miko's are very much different."

Shock covered the younger woman's face. "How did you know that?!?! How did you know I'm a miko?"

"I have lived a long time, and my training is much farther beyond what you know. I can sense your powers just by being near you."

Kagome was silent as she digested this bit of new information. She and her family knew of her powers, and that was another reason her grandfather was so bent on her inheriting the shrine. But even though they knew, she had never had any formal training.

"How are miko's different?"

"When a demon and a human mate, they form a bond that is stronger than anything two humans could ever have. That bond connects their lives and their power. But if a human has no power to connect to the demon, they will not be affected at all. A miko's power causes her to share her mate's life span, enabling her to live much longer than she normally would. After all, look how old I am!" Lady Rumiko grinned, knowing she really didn't look her age, although she had to be pretty old if Inuyasha is her son!

"I suppose that would explain why Inuyasha has such an interest in me." Kagome mused. "But why me exactly? Aren't there other miko's?"

"We are very few Kagome. Finding a miko your age is so rare, I was doubtful we ever would. That's why your being here has everyone so excited!"

"Hehe, that's.nice."

Lady Rumiko smiled with a hint of mischief. "You can't possibly tell me you don't feel at least a little sorry for my son. He's such a recluse and spends so much time alone, he doesn't exactly know how to act around a girl he's interested in."

Kagome frown. "I can tell. But well, I do admit I feel sorry for him, but that doesn't excuse what he did!" A hot blush had once again spread over her cheeks.

It was silent for several moments, before Lady Rumiko spoke once more.

"In light of the circumstances, I feel it's really only fair that you give Inuyasha a chance."

'I am getting a bad feeling about this.' Kagome thought to herself.

"So that is why you are going to stay here for a while and try to get to know him. Would you really turn you're back on someone so lonely?"

*Gulp* "Um, did you say stay here?" Kagome was suddenly getting the feeling she was being suckered into pitying that jerk so that she would stay, and she was falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

"Yes! My most trustworthy bodyguard has been sent to your home to leave a note for your family. I had Miroku type something up in case you were wondering, since we didn't know what your handwriting looked like."

"But I don't want to stay here!"

Lady Rumiko sighed. "I know dear, but it's really only fair that poor Inuyasha gets a chance since you seem to be his last hope. Even a demon dreams of finding someone special and having a family. And dog demons mate for life, so flings are out of the question. Besides if Inuyasha did that he knows I'd kill him." Lady Rumiko looked grim faced for a moment, before smiling brightly again. "Oh, I'm getting off topic! Now, where was I? That's right! Tell you what, we can make a deal. If you still can't stand him after a month, you will be free to go home, no questions asked."

Kagome jumped to her feet. "That's crazy! You can't make me stay here!"

She was intentionally ignored. "I need to make sure a room is prepared for you, and that everyone knows you will be staying here for a while! The cook will need to know there will be one more person, and Inuyasha's brother will need to be told."

"Excuse me.but I said that I DON'T WANT TO STAY!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about Sesshoumaru didn't I? He's my stepson. Not very friendly, so I would advise you to leave him be. That reminds me, whatever happened to that chocolate I bought him yesterday?"

Kagome grimaced, knowing she was stuck. They obviously had no intention of letting her leave. Sighing, she finally gave up on getting her point across to Inuyasha's excited mother, and instead started to think about the strange situation she was in. 'I can't believe I am stuck here with that dog boy for an entire month, and forced no less! A cute dog boy I'll admit.no! Don't fall for it, cause that's what they want you to do!' A frown spread across her face. 'This is no good. If I'm already having trouble now, how am I going to survive staying here?'

After several moments of hard thinking, an evil smile slowly spread across her face. 'If they don't want to fight fair, why should I? He only wants me right know because he thinks he likes me. I can fix that real quick!' The evil smile turned into a full-blown grin, causing Inuyasha's mother to worry about what she might be thinking. 'This would be a nice break from that stupid shrine work I hate so much, and getting revenge on Inuyasha will make the time spent here well worth it!'

Strangely enough, even though she had basically been kidnapped and forced to stay, she didn't feel threatened by anyone. In fact, she rather liked Sango, and she knew if Inuyasha tried anything, she would be well defended.

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay? You have a.strange look on your face."

"No, I'm fine, but I was wondering something."

Lady Rumiko smiled. "What's that?"

"What kind of letter DID you leave for my family?"

The question brought a frown to the older lady's face. "You know, I'm not sure.I let Miroku think of something because I still needed to talk to you."

Kagome buried her face in her hands. "That pervert wrote it? Oh God!"

* * * *

"MOM!" Sota yelled from the kitchen later that day. "I FOUND A NOTE FROM KAGOME!"

It didn't take long for Mrs. Higurashi to make it into the kitchen. "What does it say Sota? It's not like your sister to vanish without telling us where she went."

Obediently unfolding the note, Sota read it out loud.

Mom,

I hope you can forgive me for being so utterly cruel to you, but I have fallen in love and we decided to run away together! Don't look for me, because I will be long gone by the time you find this note. I will return in a month, and when I do you will finally get to meet the man of my dreams! Don't worry about me at all! See you soon, and take care of Buyo for me!

Love, Kagome

Mrs. Higurashi frowned. "Oh dear. Now you'll have to help take care of the shrine Sota. At least until your sister gets back."

Sota sweat dropped. "You mean you're not worried?"

"No, why would I be? I told her to always leave a note before she leaves so I wouldn't worry, and she did."

"Mother!"

"Now, what kind of wedding gift should I get your sister?"

* * * *

Outside watching this, Miroku smiled knowing the job was well done. "What can I say, I just have a way with words."

He is going to be so dead when Kagome finds out about this one.

Chapter Six

Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sango were waiting for Lady Rumiko's little 'talk' with Kagome to end, and were all sitting around a table in the large kitchen. Miroku had long since come back from his errand, and still the two were shut up in the same room, talking together. If Inuyasha had heard right while spying on them, his mother was instructing Kagome some on the uses of her powers, neither noticing the passing time.

The two full humans at the table had long since finished a light lunch, and were now watching Inuyasha eat three times as much as a normal person. Sango was giving Inuyasha the evil eye because for some strange reason, he seemed way too happy since he had talked with his mother. That could not mean anything good for poor Kagome!

Miroku noticed this suspicious change in attitude as well and decided to address it. "I get the feeling you and your mother are up to something Inuyasha. Care to share with us?"

The only reaction this got from the white-haired hanyou was a very smug smile as he swallowed another bite of his sandwich, nearly whole.

"Chew your food properly." Sango muttered, glaring at him. "Then again, after what you did today I hope you choke on it and die!"

Inuyasha wasn't phased a bit by the obvious hostility coming from his friend, and smirked at her between bites. "If you hate me now Sango, I guess you're really going to hate me even more later."

Miroku and Sango's eyes widened, not liking this statement at all.

"Dare I ask?" The dark-haired bodyguard finally found his voice.

At this question, Inuyasha sat back in his chair and pushed the now empty plate away from him. The satisfied look on his face was more like 'the cat who ate the canary' than a dog that had just eaten three ham sandwiches. "For your information, I have a plan."

Two sets of eyebrows raised in his direction. "Oh you do? I'd love to hear it." Sango muttered darkly.

"It's pretty simple really." Inuyasha told them with false modesty. Ever since Kagome had so strangely fallen into his lap (if you could put it that way), his old cocky attitude had come back tenfold. "In fact, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3."

Miroku tried not to smile in amusement at this and instead kept a very controlled, serious expression on his face. "And those three steps would be?"

"Step one was kidnapping her. I didn't mean to do it at first, but it really worked out in my favor in the end. As long as she gets over it soon." Inuyasha was picking food out of his teeth with a claw as he talked.

Sango's left eyebrow had mysteriously developed a sudden tic during this, and Miroku put a restraining hand on her arm.

Not noticing, Inuyasha continued. "Step two of course would be to keep her here a while and get to know each other. Since she's already here and my mother agrees, all we have to do is get to know each other."

Miroku cringed when Sango's other eyebrow began to tic, and he clamped his hand down tighter.

"The third and final step is to get her to fall in love with me."

Sighing, Miroku knew there was no help for it, and wisely released Sango's arm.

*WHAM!*

Clutching his throbbing head, Inuyasha growled. "Dammit, what the hell was that for Sango?!?!"

"YOU DESERVED IT!" She yelled back at him.

"I hate to agree with her Inuyasha, but she's right. What woman is going to fall for a man with an attitude like that one, especially after kidnapping her?"

Slumping in his chair, Inuyasha frowned at them. "Well what else am I supposed to do? I've never done anything like this before!"

Grinning, Miroku began his list. "First of all, to win the woman of his dreams, a man must be kind, gentle, considerate, charming, romantic, understanding, courteous.everything you are not."

Sango snorted. "All this coming from a man that goes around asking women to bear his child. You know better than to take advice from him Inuyasha."

"Then if you're so smart, what would you have me do?"

"Let her go home."

That was something Inuyasha really didn't want to hear, so in the fashion of all men he just ignored her suggestion and made up his own mind. "She's staying, and that's final. And I don't care what I have to do to get her to fall for me, even if I have to be a romantic gentleman and all that other crap!" A small shudder went down his spine at the thought. "But before I do that, I am gonna try it MY way."

* * * *

Kagome sulked as she followed her new host up the stairs to the second floor. He had a smug look on his face once again and was showing her to the room she would be staying in. At least she was getting her own room! She recalled the argument Inuyasha had had with his mother on the subject.

Inuyasha had not looked happy at the time. "She should stay in my room! It's not like I would sink so low as to do anything she wouldn't want me to. How can we get to know each other if we're not together all the time?"

"Take pity on the poor girl! She's already being forced to stay here. She doesn't need all her privacy taken away from her. Surely you can behave yourself for a month can't you?" That had been Lady Rumiko's sharp response.

Finally a compromise had been made, and for her stay she would be sleeping in the room next to his, connected by a shared bathroom. Kagome really didn't like it, but it was better than the other option! Just the thought of having to share a bed with him was sending shivers down her spine. She didn't stop to ask herself if that was because she was afraid of him or her reactions to him.that was something she really didn't want to know!

As she followed him down the hallway, her eyes kept straying to his still black clad figure ahead of her. Particularly to his tight black jeans which were showing off his.

'STOP IT!' She mentally scolded herself. 'I shouldn't be looking at his butt or anything else unless I'm thinking about how disgusting he is! Remember what a rotten attitude he's got, and what a jerk he is, anything!'

No matter what she tried though, nothing could stop the dark red flush that spread across her face, and she cursed herself for her pale skin.

She was so caught up in her own little mental drama, she didn't see him glance back at her. His sharp eyes took in the blush and her averted gaze, and he couldn't stop himself from grinning and showing off those sharp fangs. Hmmm, he'd have to remember this little weakness of hers and use it to his full advantage later!

Turning back to the front, he finally stopped at a door to his left and opened it without saying a word to her. Taking the silent hint, she cautiously entered the room ahead of him, looking around carefully.

"Don't look so scared. Do you think I set traps for you or something?"

"Probably." She muttered without looking at him.

It was a very large room, and she couldn't stop herself from feeling awed at its size and décor. Its walls were a beautiful navy blue, accented with white trim and furniture. There were some lighter blues as well in the fabrics, and a large window to make the room feel bright and airy. If she weren't being held prisoner, she might actually feel at home there!

"The bathroom is that door on the left wall, and my room is on the other side. The big door on the right wall is the closet, and Sango said you could use her clothes for the month since you look to be about the same size."

Kagome frowned at him. "I don't want to put her to any trouble." As an afterthought she added pointedly. "I mean after all, I actually like HER!"

Inuyasha ignored this and carelessly waved his hand. "That won't cause her any problems. She's a clothes horse and could probably outfit every single woman in Tokyo if she wanted to."

"Yeah right, no one has that many clothes."

"Oh yeah?" He smirked. "Just wait, you'll see."

Both were suddenly at a loss of what else to say, and an awkward silence fell.

After several moments, Inuyasha was the first to speak again. "Well, we normally eat dinner about six in the evening, and you'll get to meet my brother then I guess, and my father. Until then we could-"

"Get out of my room."

"Huh?"

Kagome frowned. "I said get out of my room. Even if I have to be here, that doesn't mean I have to spend my time with you."

"That's the whole point of you being here wench!" He growled, trying to keep his temper under control. "We're supposed to be getting to know each other!"

"Well then this will be your first lesson in getting to know me. I DON'T SPEND MY TIME WITH JERKS!" Taking a swift step forward, she pushed him with her hands on his chest till he was standing outside the door and in the hallway. Inuyasha was too shocked to even stop her.

"Oi wench, what are you-"

Still in the same position, both stopped to watch a silent figure glide down the hallway behind Inuyasha without even sparing them a glance. White hair flew out behind the figure as it vanished around the corner, and Kagome could only stare.

Without taking her hands off Inuyasha's chest, she blinked in confusion. "I don't remember anyone telling me you have a sister."

It was Inuyasha's turn to look confused. "That's because I don't."

"Then that was."

"My brother."

Kagome's eyes widened at this. "Ohhhhh."

Suddenly grinning, Inuyasha put his hands on hers where they were still planted firmly on the solid wall of muscle that was his chest. "I guess this means I don't have to worry about you falling for him instead."

The next thing he knew, the very red-faced Kagome had summoned strength even she didn't know she had, and managed to pull her hands free from his and slam the bedroom door in his face! Inuyasha just stared at the spot where she had stood just a moment before.

He could hear her ragged breathing, giving away exactly what she was feeling at the moment and a slow smile crept its way across his face. 'I think this month is going to be more fun than I've had in my entire life.'

Out loud, he said, "And my mother worries that I won't be able to keep MY hands to myself." Turning and walking off, his sensitive ears picked up her response.

"BAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter Seven

"She hasn't come out of her room at all since yesterday!" Inuyasha growled the next morning, standing in the kitchen. "Not even to eat! Does she plan to starve herself to death?"

Sango knew better than to comment out loud, but her thoughts were somewhere along the lines of, 'Any woman kidnapped and forced to put up with a jerk like you probably would. I don't blame her at all.' As much as she cared for Inuyasha as a friend, his actions yesterday had been less than acceptable.

Miroku tried to offer his own form of help. "I could try my many charms on her. Surely if I go to her room and try to talk to her then-"

"SHUT UP!" His two friends chorused, giving him identical deadly glares.

"I was only trying to help!" He protested.

Inuyasha ignored him and snatched up a tray of food that had been fixed for Kagome. Without a backward glance, he left the room and headed for the stairs, determined to lure the girl out if it was the last thing he ever did.

* * * *

Kagome stood at her bedroom door and listened carefully for any sounds that would indicate to her that someone was in the hallway. When after several minutes she heard nothing, the miko turned and headed for the bathroom door.

"If that stupid jerk has any sense at all, he would know better than to trust me and would have locked the door leading into his room." She muttered.

Thankfully she knew it to be unlocked, and crossing the bathroom to the door that lead into Inuyasha's room, she listened carefully before turning the knob. Deciding that all was clear, she quietly pulled open the door.

His room was shockingly neat and clean for someone who could be such a slob, but Kagome figured they could probably afford some maids with iron stomachs to clean up after him, with all the money they had.

Just at that moment, Kagome's stomach growled loudly, and she had to keep herself from groaning in misery at the empty feeling in her gut. She hadn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday, and it was really starting to take its toll on her.

'Oh, please not now! This is war, and things as petty as food will just have to come second. I don't have time to eat when there are other, much more productive things I can be doing to make sure he doesn't like me anymore.'

Steeling her resolve, Kagome headed straight for the bedroom closet, knowing exactly what she wanted to do. Her plan would start here.

* * * *

'Whew, I am soooo glad that's over with!' Kagome sighed, knowing she was safely back in her room. 'I wonder how he'll react when he sees.'

*Knock, knock*

"Oi, Kagome! I brought you something to eat so open the door!"

"Go away!"

An angry growl sounded, before Inuyasha made a careful effort to stifle it. "You need to eat something soon ya know. You can't stay in there forever."

Kagome gave a nervous laugh. "Maybe not forever. A month is long enough!"

"Don't do this Kagome." Inuyasha argued. He ran a hand through his hair and tried his best not to sound so gruff. "I'm worried about you. I might not know you that well yet, but I care about you already more than you think."

This announcement gave her pause, and she glanced at the door in surprise. He really did sound sincere. A moment later though, her expression hardened. "If you really cared, then you would let me go home!"

Without even thinking about the answer, Inuyasha responded in a quiet tone. "If you went home I'd probably never see you again. I don't want to risk that. I don't want to lose you now that I've finally found you."

Kagome realized her hands were shaking and what he was saying was affecting her in a strong way. 'What's wrong with me? Why can't I bring myself to hate him like I want to?'

When she didn't respond to what he said, he finally placed the tray on the floor. "If it will make you feel better, I'll leave the tray here. You don't have to face me right now."

Turning and walking down the hall towards his room, he finally heard her speak.

"Thank you."

Those two quiet words made him smile. Maybe there really was some hope somewhere for them in all this mess.

* * * *

After she was sure he was safely in his room, Kagome retrieved the tray from the floor outside her door. While she ate, he could be heard moving around his room and then the bathroom, obviously planning on getting his morning shower.

A sudden pang of unexpected guilt made the food she was eating stick in her throat. 'I forgot all about his clothes! And he was trying to be so nice to me a few minutes ago.No! I can't think like that! He kidnapped me! What I did doesn't even begin to compare to that!'

Deciding she had better hurry up, eat, and clear out of her room before he found what she did, Kagome swallowed all her food in record time! The next thing she did was head for the kitchen, knowing it would be a lot safer for her with Sango. If worse came to worst, at least she knew she would be well defended!

Inuyasha heard her leave, but didn't think anything of it. He figured she would probably take advantage of him being busy, and would roam free while she could. Deciding he would just try to catch her out, he went on with his shower.

The dog-eared boy had been so distracted with thoughts of her when he entered the room, he failed to notice her faint scent. As it was, even with his excellent sense of smell, he had no clue she had been there at all, and that was gonna cost him.

* * * *

Kagome and Sango were talking quietly at the kitchen table. The old woman that cooked for the family was busy working on dinner, and let the two girls entertain her by listening in on their conversation.

All was peaceful for a while. That is, until Inuyasha got a clue.

"WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES!" a loud roar echoed throughout the house, and Sango noticed Kagome cringing with a look of guilt plastered all over her face. This did not bode well, and Sango knew she could do nothing but watch.

Moments later a dripping wet, mostly naked Inuyasha ran into the room. He had nothing but a fluffy white towel wrapped around his waist, and even it covered nothing but the barest of essentials! All three women stared at him in shock!

"Oh my." The cook gasped, looking far too excited for a woman her age. Her eyes were scanning the figure in front of her, and it was obvious that she liked what she saw!

Kagome and Sango stared as well, both of them looking like they had died, but they didn't know if it was heaven or hell that they had ended up in! The room felt a lot hotter now than it had moments before.

"I'll say it again." Inuyasha seethed. "Where are my clothes, KAGOME?"

Her mouth opened and she was obviously trying to form an answer, but not much was coming out. "I.they.that is."

"JUST SPIT IT OUT!"

"I dumped them in the bushes under your bedroom window!" She finally cried, covering her face with her hands. 'Oh God please let him go away! I'm sorry I thew his clothes out the window, but do I really deserve this torture?'

Inuyasha blinked, not having expected her to give in so easily. That's when he noticed the interesting effect his nearly bare body was having on everyone. Especially Kagome!

"In the bushes, huh?" He murmured, temper dying as quickly as it had flared. "Since I'm not dressed, I couldn't possibly go out there and get them myself. I guess that means someone else will, hmm?"

Kagome stiffened, not liking where this was going.

"And since you threw them there, you should be the one to go get them, right Kagome?"

"I.suppose."

Inuyasha grinned. "And you can bring them to my room when you get done. My guess is you're going to be making several trips."

Kagome stared at him in horror till he turned to walk out of the room. The next thing he did though was enough to cause her to choke.

His back turned to all three women in the room, Inuyasha flipped the back of the towel up in a quick moment, and mooned them all!

With a loud moan, the cook passed out cold.

* * * *

"Thank you for helping me pick up all the clothes Sango." Kagome muttered. They were dragging the last two loads up the stairs, and she was still seeing that really nice butt in her mind. He just had to go and do that!

"It's really no problem Kagome." Sango replied. "In fact, we should have just left them there because the jerk deserved it anyway."

Kagome paled "NO! I don't think I could handle him walking around dressed like THAT anymore! Or undressed, as the case may be."

This got a curious look from her new friend. "So you ARE attracted to him."

"No way!" Kagome grunted as she got to the last step. She was carefully avoiding looking Sango in the eye. "I just.that is." Her voice finally trailed off, not able to think of a good excuse.

"It's okay, I understand perfectly. Even I couldn't resist a butt like that one!" Sango laughed. "Let's get these clothes back to his room before he decides to give us another show. I don't think the cook's heart could take it!"

This got Kagome laughing as well, and the two girls headed for Inuyasha's room to finish their task.

well i'll stop here cuss i gotta go but, i will get the rest!

   hi! instead of continuing the fanfiction i wrote i'm gonna tell you about the second movie! i'll continue the fanfiction some other time! if you don't want it spioled then don't read!


The movie starts a few minutes before dawn--on the night that Inuyasha is human. So cute!

However, they're pursuing Naraku, so Inuyasha cannot help until sunrise.

The entire Yasha gang is there, chasing him around the area: Kagome, Miroku, Shippou, Sango, and Kirara.

Naraku almost doesn't stand a chance. Everyone is dead serious, and nothing is interfering in the battle.

Sango is definitely kicking some butt. She herds Naraku out of the forest that surrounds a small lake.

The shack where Inuyasha is holing up is crushed by Naraku's giant spider form--but the sun rises just in time.

After all the yelling I've done at the screen during the anime, they finally hit him in unision with everything they've got.

Ding, Dong! The Monkey's dead! Naraku DIES! How do we know for sure? Miroku looks down, and his Kazaana has disappeared!

Many people react to the feel of his death--they seem to know that he's gone.

(Sadly, this is the only time Sesshoumaru appears. But don't worry, movie #3 will have a lot of him.)

Kohaku also reacts, and we get a sense that strange flashes of his life before Naraku keep showing up throughout this movie.

Kagura and Kanna, of course, realize what has happened. So what do they do?
Kanna can feel someone calling to her (I think), and since they've got nothing else to do, they decide to search out the voice. Meanwhile, the Yasha gang veg out, disbelieving that Naraku is finally dead. This is where we first meet a guy who at once looks really similar to both Nobunaga from early on in the series, and Houjou-kun from Kagome's time. He sees the girls bathing, and though Miroku gets the blame for peeking when he was just coming to see about this strange guy, the Past Houjou-kun gets away, confused by the antics of the Yasha gang. The Yasha gang split up for a bit. Kagome goes to school for at least a day, at which point Inuyasha comes out to get her, wandering with her little brother into the city to find her on her way home. She has to stuff him into a photo booth so that some middle school kids don't see him, where they continue arguing. Souta slides some money into the machine, and we're left with some pretty funny pictures.

The argument, caught on camera!

Inuyasha must defend Kagome from the flashing thingie.

He goes in for the kill...

And gets sat.
When they return to Inuyasha's time, she puts their pictures into a locket, giving it to him. He says he doesn't need it, but she insists, not knowing if he'll actually take the pendant. Suddenly smelling Naraku, Inuyasha runs after the scent. What ensues is a fight between Inuyasha, Kagura, Kanna, and Kaguya (who's fighting from inside the mirror). Kagura and Kanna had retrieved the mirror, and Kaguya's castle lies on the other side. The only way to get out of the mirror is to find five items that will break the seal. One of those items is a piece of Inuyasha's clothing, which they successfully take. Meanwhile, Miroku is visiting Mushin, and "asks" his racoon friend, Hachiemon, to join up with him. Sango finds Kohaku as well! He still doesn't quite remember her, but his memories are getting stronger, even though there's still a Shikon shard still embedded in his back. At one point, Kikyou comes upon a ravaged village, where a little girl clings to life, and to an odd cup (one of the five items), which she gives to Kikyou for safekeeping. Basically, over the next half-hour or so, Kagura and Kanna gather up the other four items. Two are found near a river, one is taken from Kohaku, and the last is simply given to them by Kikyou. It's good to note here that the Past Houjou-kun is carrying around a hagoromo--something that people of Kaguya's race treasure (it's an "angel's raiment," but it's form can be almost anything, it seems). It's also good to note that he's with Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippou. Lastly, it's good to note that before Kaguya shows up, Kagome tells Inuyasha that she prefers his hanyou form over his youkai form and human form.
img src="http://www.chibiexplosion.com/inuyasha/movie2/28.jpg">
Kagura & Kanna, releasing Kaguya from the mirror. Then they go looking for the hagoromo. She gets Inuyasha trapped against a tree using her powers.

When Kagome shoots an arrow at her to protect him, she catches it and returns it (her mirror is good at reflecting attacks).

Seeing that the arrow will hit inuyasha, Kagome dives in front of him. "Past" Houjou-kun also throws something to block the arrow (the hagoromo).

Inuyasha, seeing the sacrifice she has made, is shocked and upset--and pissed off at Kaguya.

Kagome falls to the ground, and Inuyasha screams her name several times.

Now with her hagoromo, Kaguya also takes Kagome with her--she's retreating back to her castle inside the mirror.
Over the time that Inuyasha and Kagome have spent together, Miroku and Sango have also learned about Kaguya--they both go in search of this creature, and end up meeting each other at the same place. Kohaku is also there, and has this priceless confused look on his face. Tanuki and Kirara also watch the gushy way that Miroku reunites with Sango. Miroku cops a feel eventually, and gets smacked. Hehe. Together, the five of them find their way through a watery cave, and come out within Kaguya's world.
Kaguya, just outside her castle, performs a spell using the five items. I believe that she has merged her world with the real one, bringing her large castle into reality, which has a large pentagram hovering over it that anyone can see if they looked up. This is how Inuyasha, plus Past Houjou-kun and Shippou, find their way to where Kagome must be. Inuyasha catches up to the rest of the gang quickly, sprinting across the water that separates the castle from the shore so fast that he practically hydroplanes half the way. Kagome wakes up within Kaguya's main room, sealed to three points of a pentagram. The arrow in her back disappears, along with her wound, and the fact that she's awake surprises Kaguya, who retrives the hagoromo that has fallen to the floor. Outside, Hachiemon has been hit hard enough to knock him out, and Inuyasha has to deal with a many-headed dragon (kind of like the 9-headed Hydra Lernaia from Greek myths). Eventually, Kikyou, of all people, comes to the shoreline and fires an arrow along with Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu, destroying the base of the monter. Then, as usual, she just walks off. But hey, at least she kicks ass. After such a big fight, the Yasha gang rests for a bit to bandage themselves up with Kagome's supplies. Also, Kaguya from inside, tosses her minions, Kagura and Kanna, into the lake outside using a pentagram spell from her mirror. Guess she's not loyal to anyone but herself.

Inuyasha, however, has gone ahead, too worried about Kagome to care about any wounds.

Kaguya sees him coming, though, and launches a Time attack.

However, the attack for some reason doesn't work on anyone except Past Houjou-kun and Hachiemon. Why?

They're wearing items from the future! Kagome's bandages! (Inuyasha is wearing Kagome's locket.)
Kaguya is surprised when her spell doesn't work on him, but she sees the pendant glowing from beneath his shirt, and Kagome mutters something to herself about "he said he didn't need it." But you know that she must be happy. ^_^ Before Inuyasha can do much, she kicks him back outside of the castle using a spell. There, he meets up with the rest of the gang (plus Kohaku), and they all re-enter Kaguya's world by temporarily breaking the barrier on the surface of the lake. They immediately run up to face Kaguya, and she and Inuyasha get into a sword fight. However, she gets his sword away from him fairly quickly, and though the rest of the gang tries to help, eventually they're all beaten off. Miroku's staff is broken in half and lands near Kagome, stuck into the floor. Kaguya turns her mirror upon Inuyasha, ready to perform a spell that will suck away his human side. It begins to work, and he begins to lose control--his eyes turn white, and the purple marks appear on his cheeks. You can tell he's trying to fight it, but he's failing. The Yasha gang tries to help, but they're all either knocked unconscious or pinned to surfaces of the room with solid vines created from her magic. Kagome tries to stop it by yelling, but it doesn't work, of course. She asks Shippou to get the Shikon shards from around her neck and throw them at the pentagram holding her down, and that does work.

Running to Inuyasha, who's still fighting the spell, she grasps the front of his shirt, begging him to fight it.

Nothing seems to be working, though, and his transformation only gets worse.

She declares once again that the form she loves is his hanyou form, and her voice is finally starting to penetrate a bit.

It's still not enough, because he digs his sharp nails into her arms, trying to get her away from him.

So she does the last thing she can think of, and kisses him.

And because this is a first, I'm going to paste as many screencaps of it as possible!

It certainly makes Shippou blush, and he runs to hide in his embarrassment.

The kiss breaks Inuyasha free of the spell!

His hands let go of her arms, the nails shrinking back to normal size.

And it cracks Kaguya's mirror.

He even kisses her back, and a strange red glow fills the room.

I'd say that's a pretty good first kiss, ne? ^_~

The funny part in this sequence is that Sango is still pinned to a column.

And Miroku is not.

We all know what he's thinkin' of. ^_~

And so does Sango. hehe
However! Kaguya releases Sango so that she can deal with Inuyasha, and Miroku's plans are a bit spoiled, especially when Sango turns to comfort Kohaku. Strangely, though, Kohaku's back starts to hurt, and something horrible but amazing happens! Miroku looks down to see that his Kazaana is returning, and Naraku emerges from a scar that has appeared on Kohaku's back--a spider-shaped scar. He was hiding on Kohaku's back all along. Eww!!! The entire time, he has been wanting to fight Kaguya, hoping to absorb her, no doubt. He goes to do this, but she isn't going down easily, and it's obvious that she's probably going to win. The castle falls apart somewhat from the dueling powers, and once things die down, she's still standing, but Naraku is gone (not dead, just gone). They decide to fight her once again, and she and Inuyasha duel once more. She brings her cracked mirror back into play, trying to use it against them. She eventually uses her sword to shoot a giant ball of fire at them, and Inuyasha runs towards it, using his Baku Ryuu-ha attack to reverse it back upon her. However, her mirror, like I said before, is good at reflecting attacks, which would make for a GIANT return blow upon Inuyasha.

It starts to backfire, and Inuyasha sends at the mass of energy his Kaze no Kizu, which is now EXTREMELY powerful since it's using the shouki from the attack coming at him. Kagome's purity arrow shoots through the giant ball of energy now headed back to Kaguya, breaking the mirror (the arrow is half of Miroku's broken shakujou, so it's doubly holy now). Kaguya, facing a giant Kaze no Kizu, is completely annihilated. YES!!! They're all about to leave since the castle is breaking apart, but the last remnants of Kaguya are still blocking the way (looks sorta like a badly computer-animated black cloud). It pulls Kagome away, leaving her on a rafter, and the one person who shows up behind her is Naraku! Inuyasha blasts an attack at him while Kagome ducks, and Miroku sucks the black cloud into his Kazaana. The last of Naraku (and Kohaku) disappears into the mirror near the front, which is the only way out of Kaguya's world. They leave as well, and things are as they were before. The gang is together, still seeking Naraku. And that's the end of the movie! (Yes, there's jokes near the end, but you'll have to wait for the fansub.)
