Chapter Four
Inuyasha sat beside Kagome's bed, playing with one of the many frills that lined the mattress's spread. He sighed, silently voicing his frustration at the effect of the painkillers on Kagome. He wanted to talk to her, but she had been asleep since her mother had given her the herbs. He ran clawed fingers over the cast that adorned her arm as guilt began to wash over him once again. He had caused Kagome to break her arm against the tree-branch the day before. If you had only told her how you really felt instead of barking at her. "You are such a baka, Inuyasha." He mumbled to himself, mentally cursing his inability to tell Kagome his feelings.
He stared at the place on her arm where the bone was broken beneath the cast and skin as if to mentally will it to heal. "Inuyasha?" He heard Kagome's soft, barely audible voice rasp out his name. He looked up in hope, only to find her still asleep. She's dreaming about me? Inuyasha could not beleive that Kagome would have a dream about him; to simply say he was elated is an understatement. He could have flown at that moment, but had no chance to probe into her talkative slumber as Mrs. Higurashi walked into the room.
"How is she?" Aori asked checking her daughter's temperature as she set a cup of steaming tea on the bedside table. "Her fever's finally broken, that's a good sign." She sipped at her own cup of tea, allowing the vapors to carress her frayed and frazzled nerves as she sat down at her daughter's desk. "And how are you, Inuyasha? You haven't left her side for hours, don't you need to rest?" The guilty look the young hanyou had spread across his features worried Aori, she had never know Inuyasha to even show an emotion besides anger and jelousy towards her daughter. She knew perfectly well that Inuyasha cared for Kagome as she him, but both of them refused to admit even the slightest hint or tinge of any kind of relationship or romantic affair. Aori had no clue as to why the two would keep such a deep devotion secret form the other, but she would not interfere in her daughter's love-life. "Have some tea dear." She jestured towards the cup she had placed on the table.
"Thanks." He sipped the hot tea, taking in the slight aroma of ginsing and honey. "I won't leave her side until she wants me to." He paused to sip the tea and sigh heavily int he cup, drawing a curious stare from Aori. Inuyasha could tell she wanted more than he said, so continued. "It's my fault her arm is broken. We were arguing in a tree and she stood up and slipped, because of something I said." Aori nodded her head in understanding, releived when he also added the part about her arm hitting the tree branch beauce he had caught her. "I won't leave until she asks me. I hope you understand, I am responsible." Inuyasha halfway lied through his teeth, not wanting to tell Aori the other half of the reason he wished to stay so badly. Kagome was still in heat, giving off waves of an intoxicating scent that he could not ignore or stay away from even if he tried. He could keep himself form forcing himself on her as long as she didn't provoke him, he however could not control the painful erection he had had for hours due to Kagome's scent.
"Okay Inuyasha, I will not make you leave her side. However, I do wish for you to have a decent place to sleep while you are in here. You need your rest, I will get you a mat and some blankets." She rose, exiting the room before Inuyasha could protest, shortly thereafter returning with the necessary make-shift bedding. "Now rest, She will be out until at least tomorrow morning. Good night, Inuyasha." Her tone left no room for arguement so he simply nodded, deciding to fein sleep for the poor woman's nerves. He put her through enough, taking her eldest to the warring-states era constantly endangering her life to simply look for a stupid jewel. Kagome is the true reward of our quest. Her company is enough to fight till the ends of time for. Inuyasha laid his head upon the plush pillow, allowing himself to slowly drift into a light slumber as his thoughts of Kagome overtook him.

The splashing of water against tile danced through the sleeping hanyou's twitching ears, causing him to slowly drift into a lightened sleep. "Inuyasha? Are you awake yet?" Kagome stood over him, slightly nudging his side with her foot. "Inuyasha?" He mumbled, acknowledging her prescense, but not fully waking. "Inuyasha, please wake-up I need your help, noone else is home." She crossed the room to her closet when he finally responded, grabbing some clothes to wear back to ancient japan and after her bath. "When you get up, come in here." She called as she took her clothes down the hallway.
Inuyasha groggily woke from his spot on the floor, stretching as he stood. He shakily made his way down the hallway, scratching his ears, head, stomach, and bottom in sequence as he went. "Wha-a-at the hell do you want?" He yawned mid-sentence as he finally made it to the bathroom door to find kagome kneeled beside the bathtub. She had a towel draped over the side of the white basin, her casted arm resting across her folded knees. Inuyasha couldn't help the pang in both his heart and lower regions as he let his eyes wash over the helpless-looking miko kneeling before him. Damn, stupid-ass dick. Can't you ever not jump when she's around? He mentally cursed his body's reaction at her submissive form, trying to regain his composure to ask what she wanted.
"I need you to wash my hair. Please? Noone else is home." She gave him her best pleading look, hoping that he would give-in. Today must have been her lucky day, he Feh'd, asking her what he had to use and do. "Thanks, you've see me bath a million times, you start with that bottle, the shampoo. Then you use the conditioner when you rinse the shampoo out, then rinse the conditioner out. I would do it myself yah know, but I can't get this stupid itchy thing wet. Oh, that reminds me," She tossed her hair over the side of the tub when Inuyasha knelt beside her, grabbing the shampoo bottle. "will you bend a clothe's hanger for me later?" She closed her eyes as she felt him gently pour water onto her head with the cup she had provided him to use.
"What for?" He carefully soaked Kagome's raven locks with he warm water and shampoo, careful not to claw her scalp off accidentally with his claws as he massaged the shampoo into her scalp. "Yeah, sure. I'll do it when I finish your hair." She had told him that she needed it to scratch inside the cast which was driving her insane, like the cap he had to wear over his ears when he went out in her time. Inuyasha bent over her back awkwardly in order to hide his secret excitement at their closeness, trying to get to the opposite side of her head. When he finished he sighed in releif at no longer having to restrain his manhood, as he would soon be going somewhere private to releive himself now that he was no longer needed for the time being. "I'll be outside if you need anything."
Kagome mentally cursed when she realized that she could only use one arm. How am I going to get into the tub? With all my clothes on? Dammit! Okay, just let it slide this once, just this once... "Um, Inuyasha?" He turned to face her, raising an eyebrow to show he was listening. "I actually need your help now." She blushed the same shade as his hoari, not quite sure how to ask him her question. "Oh, this is embarrasing, but I can't get out of these by myself." She looked at the floor, taking a sudden obsession with how her toes wiggled against the cold tiles. "My clothes. I need help undressing." She added when he didn't respond.
I fucking hate you right now Kagome. But, I can't refuse that helpless face. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK! He mentally berated himself at what he knew he was going to do no matter how much he knew he shouldn't. Before she could look up, he was directly in front of her, grasping the bottom button of her pajama shirt. "Hold still, I can't undo these damn things with you squirming." When he reached half-way to the top, he nearly lost it as he softly gasped; Kagome had on no bra. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. He gulped, minding his hands as he turned -if any way possible- three shades darker than Kagome. Once done with the shirt, he swiftly latched his thumbs in the waistband of both panties and pants, tugging them to the floor and sweeping the nude Kagome into his arms in a gracefull motion. He gently placed her into the water, promptly exiting the room once she was settled and had everything she needed. She can get out her own damn self. I have to get away from her and now.

Inuyasha grunted as he pulled the remaining ball of cotton from his nostrils. Ow, now all i'm going to be able to smell for hours is that stupid stuff. He had successfully blocked the majority of Kagome's flared scent from his sesitive nose by plugging it with small cotton-balls. At least the shit worked. That would have been the end of Kagome's inocense if I could have smelt her. What the hell was I thinking? I just let myself undress her, have I finally snapped? He threw the remaining ball of fluff to the ground, not particularly caring whether he littered or not atthe moment.I wouldn't have needed anymore permission from her, when a woman lets a man undress her, that's all the permission he needs. It doesn't matter whether they are demon or human, hell touching a woman below the shoulders is a romantic jesture and you do that all the time to her. He sighed as he sat back against his branch in the fuedal era, reflecting on the images that he had seen only a few minutes ago. "I would give my right arm to share a bed with that woman sometimes."
After a short time he made to get down, but instead only sat there. "Stupid legs. I know the last thing I need to do is go check on Kagome, but I can't just leave her alone with an injury." With that he leapt from the branch, making his way back to the young miko's strange era.
