underground

When Kagome woke her head felt like it was in a vice, and someone was gripping her by the throat considering how much it hurt. 'where am I, this definitely isn't my room....wait a minute, last thing I remember is being in Naraku's office, and...and he was...he was choking me, how am I still alive?' Kagome sat up in the bed she was in pain every muscle in her body ached, she felt abused, and extremely hungry, and she really had to go to the bathroom. Rolling out of the bed was extremely painful and breath taking, but she managed and walked slowly shifting her feet across the wooden floor to the bathroom she saw inside the room.

barely making it out of the bathroom Kagome shuffled to the door 'dear kami why does my body feel like I'm being crushed?' She couldn't do it anymore she made it to the top of the stairs but she knew she couldn't get down, not without killing herself trying, and she definitely didn't want to do that. Her legs gave out and she hit the floor with a thud, passing out from the harsh pain her body was in.

------------------->

Nobody was at the house for days, Inuyasha had been keeping a close eye on the girl that lay in his room for nearly two weeks without any sign of her waking, checking one last time that she was safe before he left, he went for a run through the woods, he loved the feel of the wind whipping him in the face, the quickness of everything moving past him, and the feel of the forest beneath his feet, he truly felt at home while running wild. He knew he couldn't stay away too long, leaving the girl alone without anyone at the house for too long was asking for her death, he just needed enough free time to relax, and think. 'That damn jewel, why was it created in the first place, it needs to be destroyed that's the only way, but how?'

Inuyasha walked up the porch steps the paint was chipping and the swing was broken, but he didn't have time to fix these kind of things, he had other plans, other ideas that needed to be taken care of. Just as he opened the door he could hear a thud at the top of the stairs, panicking he ran through the living room and bounded up the steps as fast as he could, fearing Naraku and his bastard men found his little hideout. He came to a halt just as he reached the stair landing "what the fuck?" He saw the girl just laying there, her brows together showing obvious signs of pain. 'what happened to you while I was gone?' He lifted her with ease, she smelled of sweat, and faint body odor 'you need a bath girl' he thought to himself.

Laying her back down on the bed he went to the bathroom and filled the tub. Coming back out with a towel Inuyasha prayed the girl wouldn't wake up while he bathed her, the last thing he needed was a girl beating him for being a hentai while he was trying to help. He quickly undressed her, and upon seeing her naked a violent blush crept up to his cheeks 'don't look, don't look' he kept telling himself. Getting over the embarrassment of undressing the unconscious girl her carried her to the waiting tub. Holding her up so she wouldn't slip back, he tilted her head, he would start by washing her hair.

Successfully washing her hair he had to at least wash her down . Grabbing the cloth he lathered it and began to lightly wash her, purposefully skipping her nether region just to be on the safe side.

Completing the bath without incident he grabbed the towel he set near the tub and picked the girl up bridal style out of the tub, and tired his best to dry her off. Picking her up bridal style again he set her on his bed where he had one of this t-shirts and a pair of boxers waiting for her, and doing his best he dressed her, and lay her back in the bed.

------------------->

Hours had past since the bath, and Inuyasha had fallen asleep into the chair that was placed next to the bed. Kagome woke again, this time in less pain than she was before, and feeling rather clean. Looking down she noticed that her clothes were lighter and definitely different 'someone changed me' a light blush spread across her face as she sat up in the bed again. Looking to her left she saw the man in the chair next to the bed. ' he must have been the one that saved me, and now...he is helping me.' She couldn't help the admiration and thanks she felt towards the stranger. Looking him she took in his shirtless form. Tattoos across his chest, and down both his arms, but definitely not hiding the muscles that were obviously there 'he's a fan of body art' Kagome blushed, she was checking out the sleeping form of her savior, and she definitely liked what she saw. His face was smooth of any facial hair and emotion, his thick black brows were in great contrast with his silver white hair it looked to be at least waist length ' that's an odd color for hair, I wonder if its that color everywhere...KAGOME!!!! what are you thinking' Taking her mind off the her current line of thoughts she noticed the cutes dog ears she had ever seen 'OH MY GOSH...dog ears, how adorable.' Kagome couldn't control her urges, and despite the protest of her body she slowly moved towards the objects her obsession.

"You shouldn't be moving if you pass out trying to get down the stairs." Kagome freaked and lost her balance and she could feel herself falling off the bed, but she never hit the ground but instead strong tattoo arms caught her, and gentle placed her sitting up on the edge of the bed. Kagome clutched her chest trying to regain her composure as the hanyou sat back in the chair just like he had never moved at all. "You are finally awake, I was beginning to think you would never wake up."

Seeing the girl for the first time awake he got a good look at her blue gray eyes, those seemed be looking at him right to the soul

"Where you the one that saved me?" Kagome fisted her hands in her lap, his eyes held so many emotions. Hurt, anger, rage, sadness, agony, lost, love, everything, his eyes were so piercing the amber gold color reflected the light enough to make them glow. Caught up in her thoughts she didn't even know she let the word slip "Amazing"
