Chapter 2
Confrontations
Everyone except Inuyasha sat
in a circle facing each other. A whole day had passed since Kagome forced him
out of his tree. The week so far was starting out slow. With the number of
shards decreasing they were encountering more and more free time. It was
starting to become disturbingly clear that they were all going to have to keep
themselves amused. Normally this was not such a bad thing, but under the
circumstances, everyone would have preferred a good fight over facing the
sexual tension.
‘I wonder how
long he is going to avoid me,’ Kagome
wondered as she stared across the distance at Inuyasha’s
still form. ‘He could at least sit here
and talk to the others. I can’t stand this.’ With that thought Kagome was
up and moving toward him. The others did not say a word, but decided to
silently watch her go.
Although he was a good distance from the group, Inuyasha was still to close to her for his own comfort. It
was the best he could do without completely going off by himself. He was afraid
to stray too far, because he would not be there to protect them if a youkai
were to attack.
He had given up trying not to think about her. Instead
he let himself remember her last birthday. For him, her birthday would always
be an anniversary for them. This year had been very dear to him, although, he
wouldn’t admit it to her.
Kagome had invited him to return to her time with her.
She had a surprise waiting for him when they gathered in the small kitchen. Her
mother had two small cakes waiting for them as they entered the kitchen. One
was for her and the other for him. He
had no idea when his birthday was, and she had known that fact. She had been
the only person who had ever wanted to know anything about the day he came into
the world. It had never meant anything to him until that day.
That same evening, she had offered him the floor next
to her bed. It was not much, but it showed that she wanted him to stay there
with her. She had left the room to change into her pajamas, but returned to the
room to room to brush her hair. Oddly enough watching her brush her hair had
been the most seductive thing in the world to him. It was the way that she had
closed her eyes and stood with her head bent back and to the side. She made it
look like it was the most enjoyable thing she had ever felt. She had aroused
him, and he knew that she had no idea that she had done it. He had to leave her
then regardless of how confusing it had been to her. If he had stayed the night
he might have made a fool of himself.
The reminiscing was interrupted when he realized she
was coming toward him. ‘Damn it, there
isn’t any wind and her scent is still enough to reach me! I have it now and I
can’t ignore it. I don’t want to ignore it.
How much longer can she be like this?’
It did not take much time to clear the space between
them. Kagome decide to wait for him to say something to her before setting
down, but after a few minutes of silence, ‘He
has to know that I am here. I guess I will have to make the first move like
always.’
“Can I sit with you, Inuyasha?”
“Do it at your own risk.”
“You can’t even look at me?”
“I’m sorry, Kagome.” His shoulders slumped down even
lower then it had already been.
Before all this got started, he had only apologized to
her once in the past. He had come to see her after an argument over Kouga. She had gone home angry and his pride had been hit
pretty hard. They had both been stubborn about the situation, but it had been Inuyasha who had truly taken the first steps to work the
mess out. He had been watching her as she slept. That was when the alarm clock
by her bed had gone off. He all but destroyed the clock in an attempt to
silence it. He had finally darted out the window, taking the clock with him.
Realizing that he had come to see her she returned to the Feudal Era. She was
expecting him to apologize for doubting her, but he only apologized for the
clock. The fact that he was apologizing now told her that he had to feel
terribly embarrassed and shaken by what had happened. She prayed that the
damage was not so bad that he could not get over it.
She took her usual place at his side, “I am not mad at
you. I understand why you did it. I was just embarrassed and startled.”
“I’m still sorry.”
“Just look at me, Inuyasha.
I can’t stand this anymore.” With her right hand she took hold of his hair. He
did not fight her. Instead he turned to look at her.“It really was not all that bad. It would have been
nice if you could have let me know you thought of me like that in some other
way. Something less public and with the right mood, but I really am ok with it.
I’m only sorry that I am putting you through this.”
“Will you explain to me what this mood thing is that
you keep bringing up?” he snapped. When he looked into her eyes the thought finally
hit him that Kagome now knew that he physically desired her, “Now who is the
pervert? Who said I wanted you that way?” He was blushing as he turned way, and
tried to ignore the pain of her pulling at his hair. He was starting to get
used to it. She always tugged on his hair to get his attention. It was one of
the things he always remembered about the day they met.
“I said I didn’t mind!” She barked back at him. She
felt wounded suddenly. She turned to stare off into the trees that surrounded
the edge of the clearing. “Besides, you don’t react that way when Sango
is…um…in heat,” she really did not like putting it that way, but how else was
she going to put it. Anything else would either confuse him, or sound gross.
She decided to move in front of him so that he could
not look away from her so easily, “If you don’t think of me like that then way
haven’t you done that to Sango?” Inuyasha had no
reply. So she continued, “I have never once seen you lick her tummy, or sniff
at her underwear!”
“I did not!” Inuyasha’s
face was now a brighter red then his kimono.
“Yes you did!”
****
“Houshi-sama, they are getting loud. Should we
continue pretending that we don’t notice?”
“That might be best, Sango-Chan. I don’t think that Inuyasha can stand the attention right now. The more we
leave them to themselves the better.”
“Can I laugh if she tells him to sit again?” Shippo
asked the monk in all seriousness.
****
‘Damn it! I
did,’ he recalled how he his nose had
found the hem of her shirt and cleared a small opening of naked flesh. It is
why he lowered his face to begin with. He had to do it to move the cloth out of
his way.
“Please tell me that no one else noticed that,” he
whispered as he leaned forward on his hands and his eyes closed.
She reached out to him, closing the short distance
between them, and took his face in her hands. That small jester had been too
much for him to fight. When he looked up into her eyes something in him sent
chills through his body. He knew what her skin tasted like. How soft it was.
The memory was so strong he could feel it. He had never wanted anything so much
in his life. The smell of her body was to enticing. He ended up pushing her
back and pouncing on top of her. His hands were on both sides of her shoulders,
which left no room for escape.
****
“Way to go Inuyasha,” Miroku muttered seconds before Sango’s
fist collided with his head.
“Pervert! We are not noticing remember?”
****
Kagome could hear her heartbeat in her ears. She was
as afraid as she was excited by his aggressiveness. Whatever he was going to do
she couldn’t move to prevent it. Her face was as red as his now, and it was
almost impossible to breathe. His long hair hung like a curtain around them. He
had stopped moving with his face only inches from hers.
‘What is he
waiting for? He is so close. Kiss me Inuyasha. That
look on your face…you want to. What do you want me to do?’ She tried to
appear calm in hopes that he would be encouraged to continue. The setting sun
brought out the deep ember of his eyes. She tried to focus on those eyes,
because the feel of his body on hers was not going to give her the calm
appearance she wanted. He started
sniffing at the air, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. ‘This is it! He is giving into it.’ She
closed her eyes and braced herself.
“Someone’s coming,” he growled and set back
on his knees.
“What?” She blinked as she fought to decipher what he
had just said. Then she felt it, “Shikon shards.”
She was so caught up in Inuyasha
that she did not notice. ‘That could be
dangerous. How did he sense it? She continued to watch him as he stood and
held a hand out to her. That must have
been why he was hesitating.’
Miroku and Sango were soon standing at Inuyasha’s back as a small tornado came crashing towards
them. Kouga sprang from a small tornado and slid to a
halt just about a yard from were they stood.
“I thought that was Kagome’s scent,” he stated and
went silent as he sniffed at the air.
‘How many men
are going to do that? I know I stink, but this is getting ridiculous. I am so
going to put on more perfume and take a bath the first chance I get!
“Grrrr,” Inuyasha
clinched his hands into fists, “Stop that, she is not a piece of meat!”
‘Look who is
talking.’ She looked at Inuyasha. ‘I have to do something before they start
fighting. They are bad enough around each other already. In this state, I don’t
know what Inuyasha might do.’
Kouga stepped in closer and Inuyasha
tensed up all the more. He looked like he was about to attack Kouga as Kagome stepped in between the two of them, “Are
you just passing by, Kouga?” She really could not
think of anything else to say, but it did manage to confuse Inuyasha
enough to give her time to think. His focus was on her for the moment. Now if
she could just figure out a way to keep him from getting mad at her.
“My pack heard that Naraku’s
castle had appeared over that mountain,” he turned slightly to point to the far
off mountain behind him.
“Then you are still seeking revenge for you fallen comrades?”
Miroku asked calmly. He also was concerned for Inuyasha
and figured that the conversation would be a useful distraction. “Did you have
any luck?”
“He was not there when we arrived. I am not so
disappointed in missing the chance to tear him apart now.” His attention turned
back to Kagome, “Your scent is different…so that is why you have stayed with
dog face. You were not ready to be my woman until now.”
‘Kouga really can be more of a jerk than Inuyasha
can be on his bad days. I can’t believe that I ever felt sorry for him. I may
not want to be mean, but if I don’t say something I will hurt Inuyasha.’
It was time for her to see it from Inuyasha’s
point of view. Every time she had been nice to Kouga
in the past, Inuyasha got hurt. He did not have the
self esteem to believe that Kouga was not a threat to
him. At last it made sense to her. ‘If I
want him this much I have to do something to prove it.’
Kagome then did the only thing she could think of. She
had to make Kouga understand that she was with Inuyasha regardless of how things might end up in their
future. As Kouga stepped forward Kagome stepped back
until she could feel Inuyasha’s body. Without turning
she put her arms around his waste and gave a slight tug on his robes. ‘Put your arms around me Inuyasha.
It will get the message across.’
Inuyasha couldn’t think. All he could manage was to look at
the back of her head. Kagome gave him another tug as she kept talking. He was
so dumbfounded that he could not make out anything that was being said. Then he
did something brilliant, he turned to look at Sango. She managed to put her
arms around her shoulders without being noticed by anyone else but him. He very
slowly followed her lead and gently wrapped his arms around Kagome’s shoulders.
Her body softened slightly as she leaned back into his arms.
“…so you see, Inuyasha is
not in the best of moods. You shouldn’t really provoke him,” Kagome warned.
‘What did she
tell Kouga!’
Inuyasha was
regaining his hearing and not sure if he liked what he had just heard. He
decided that he was going to try really hard not to flinch if he had just heard
what he thought he had.
“So, you have no self control do you dog face?” Kouga laughed. “That’s a shame. I have had a great deal of
experience with beautiful females. I wouldn’t have such problems controlling my
desires. Kagome, why waste you time with
this puppy?”
Kagome tightened her arms around his waist. She feared
that things were about to turn ugly. ‘Don’t
fight. I am showing you that you don’t need to fight him.’
“However you see it, she’s still my woman and not
yours.” Inuyasha made the words sound convincing
despite the fact he had to swallow his pulse to get them out.
All eyes were on Inuyasha.
Even Kagome was trying to look back at him without letting Kouga
know she was surprised.
Kouga hesitated for a moment before speaking. He could tell
that things were not what they seemed, but they were both being more convincing
then usual. “Well, I guess that settles it for now. But when you get bored with
this runt, Kagome, remember I’ll be waiting.” With that he turned tail and was
off.
Inuyasha’s embrace had been loose enough for her to turn her
body without breaking it. She looked at his face. His eyes were still fixed on
the small tornado that was heading away from them.
“I really hate that guy. I don’t have a dog
face!”
“Inuyasha, am I
really your woman?”
He looked down at her and realized that he could kiss
her. She would not runaway. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to say yes to her
question.
“Shippo no!” It was Sango’s words that
broke Inuyasha’s concentration.
“Kiss her!” Shippo cheered as he landed on Inuyasha’s shoulder.
Seconds later the small fox boy set whimpering on the
ground as a grumpy Inuyasha stalked towards the camp
with Kagome close behind him.
“What did I do?” he cried rubbing his head, “I was
only trying to encourage him.”
“This
is going to be a long night,” Miroku said sadly as he turned to look at Sango,
who simply stood there with her hand over her mouth and trying not to laugh.
