Chapter 6.

We pulled into the parking lot.

"2112, I told her." She strolled right along like she knew where she was going. "You know this place?"

"I kind of. My dad lives here. He lives in 910 though and Kouga lives in Rosealone right across the way." She replied.

"Rosealone?" I asked looking over to where she pointed it was. Kouga was rich and I knew this much. I had to compete with some rich guy but damn. I didn't think he was THAT rich. The houses that I could see from the car were at least 2 story, brick houses that had perfect lawns and just looked like the kind of place doctors and lawyers would live at. Kagome pulled into the parking space closest to my apartment.

"You can come in if you want too." I said. "No one is home." I was right. Not even Naraku came home. Our car was no where in sight.

"No, its fine. I have to get to Kouga's before he gets mad." Kagome smilied. It was the kind of smile that was just sweet. It didn't seem real though.

"No, come on it. Kouga can wait. Tell him you were doing charity work." I grinned.

"I'm not going to lie to my boyfriend!" she exclaimed.

"Your not. You were helping me get a job, then you gave me a ride home. Now, your going to help me clean my house. If you want. It needs a good cleaning and maybe someday help me fix and paint it."

"It would still be lieing. charity is for the poor..."

"I am poor. We had to get the most run down apartment they had. Its infested and needs the work."

"Well..."

"Look, come inside and see it for yourself." I said. She and I both got out of the car. I grabbed my shit from her trunk and opened the door to apartment number 2112 and trust me, when I said dirty. I MENT dirty. Kagome walked in behind me and looked in disgust.

"What happened here?!" she exclaimed.

"The guy before us was a pig. Told you it need work."

"But I thought...Inuyasha put down your things. We got to get this place clean!"

I smilied and nodded. She rushed to the little gas station across the street. I didn't think she would actually come back with loads to cleaning supplies. I will have to admit I was shocked but hey, the place did need a good cleaning up. Kagome put on some gloves and put her hair up and we started to work. She cleaned the kitchen and instructed me to do alot of things. I got the bathroom. After that we worked on the living room and bedrooms. There were three. One for Sesshomaru, the other for me and Naraku, and the last one for Kagura.

"Inuyasha.." Kagome asked as we were cleaning the living room. She was across the room near the couch. I was dusting off the t.v stand.

"Yeah?" I replied not looking at her. She actually made me work. Amazing huh? I heard Kagome stand up and I looked at her. She was holding a picture book. The weird part is, none of us have pictures, much less books for pictures. It was open to.

"Whats this?" She asked extending it. I walked over to her and the book and looked down at the pictures. It was a picture of me, my mother, father, and Sesshomaru. I was laughing in my mothers arms, my mother was smiling at us, my father had a slight grin, and Sesshomaru had a huge smile planted on his face. I sat down on the couch. Kagome sat next to me.

"This is my family a long time ago." I replied. Kagome leaned over and turned the page. There I was sitting in a little swimming pool. My little yellow eyes all teared up. She flipped again. There was my father standing up with a blank look on his face and arms up. One arm had Sesshomaru with his arms crossed the other with my little self trying to reach other my father and attack Sesshomaru. Kagome giggled.

"My father left us when I was younger. As you can easily tell who is who. He just got up and left. Never heard of him or saw him. Sesshomaru, my brother tightened up after that. He loved Dad and looked up to him." Kagome silently listened as she turned the page. The next one was me on my mother's shoulder waving at the camera with a huge grin. My mother was smiling gently as she always did with one had on Sesshomaru who was glaring at the camera. That was after my dad left. "Then, when I was 14, my mom was killed in a car accident A drunk driver hit her." Kagome looked up at me with concern.

"I'm so sorry." she replied.

"Nah, Its fine." I replied. Kagome looked down at the floor. I took the book and threw it on my bed. I walked back in the living room and Kagome was just standing there. Why did I tell her all that I did. I didn't need her feeling sorry for me. Kagome looked at me, but not with pity, but concern. I looked into her eyes. I felt something I never felt before. I have no idea what it was but I liked it. It felt...good. I felt like my heart was melting into her chocolate eyes. My mind was in a rush. She looked so beautiful standing there. What am I feeling? Could I...actually have feelings...for Kagome? Just then, someone decided to knock on my door and ruin the whole moment. Kagome walked over to the door and guess who decided to grace us with his presence. Kouga.

"Kagome, what are you doing her?!" he demanded.

"I was.." started Kagome scared and I could tell she was.

"She was helping me and gave me a ride home. Then she was helping me clean the house." I said.

"Shut up flea bag. I was talking to Kagome." he replied. "Now, what are you doing her?"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" I yelled

"Exactly what Inuyasha said." replied Kagome.

"DONT IGNORE ME!" I yelled at him. The bastard continued to ignore me.

"I don't want you ever talking to him again! Kagome, he could have hurt you." he said with anger hidden.

"He wouldn't do that!" exclaimed Kagome.

"I WOULDN'T HURT HER!" I yelled running up. If Kagome would move I could kill the bastard!

"Get out of here Kagome." demanded Kouga.

"but.." started Kagome.

"I SAID GET OUT!" he yelled.

I grabbed Kagome's wrist. She looked at me. "She'll leave when she wants too."

"I told Kagome to leave. She BETTER leave. She knows what will happen if she doesn't. I do whats best for her. She'll do WHATEVER I say jackass. I know your type. You were going to rape Kagome or worse."

"NO! I'M..." I started.

"Stay out of this Inuyasha." Kagome said looking at me with no emotion. It was owe most like that anger was replaced with hurt. Did she like being treated like that? Kagome pulled away from me and went to her car.

"You better stay away from Kagome." Kouga demanded looking at me dead in the eye. I would have just have the guy a nice one right in the face but Kagome would have been pissed and right now, I want Kagome more then I wanted to hurt the bastard. But how did he know Kagome was here? I watched Kouga drive Kagome away from me. Stay away from Kagome? Yeah right.
