chapter 24:
_____________________________________
Kikyo crouched in the brush, waiting, feeling without seeing the
demon she had been and was now hunting. By the farmer's description, she surmised
the demon was some sort of wild animal type. Even though the farmer's
house was close by, she had taken the precaution of a concealing
spell. No demon could see, smell, or hear her.
Carefully, she crept through the trees and underbrush, trying to sense
exactly where the demon was nearby. The farmer had seen it running through
the pasture so fast that he couldn't give a clear description.
Strangely enough, this was the exact same area she had captured the
female wolf demon. It could be a coincidence.
After ducking under an ancient cherry tree at the edge of the pasture,
she scanned the expanse of green grass, occasionally noting the positions of
stray cows.
She could sense the demon but couldn't see it. Obviously, it was
intelligent enough to stay hidden.
Kikyo sat down on a large root to wait. She thought of the hanyou in her
home. The toxin had worked well, but the half demon still would
not tell her who had subjugated him. It almost seemed as if he were protecting
the miko responsible. Why? Why would the hanyou protect a miko? Of
course, the miko responsible may have spelled the half demon into forgetting
on purpose. It would make sense that the interfering miko
didn't want her to know who she really was. If that were so, then the only
way to find out the identity of the trespassing miko would be to wait.
Sooner or later she would reveal herself.
Again, she thought of the hanyou. He was an abominaton: half demon, half
human. When she first caught him, she believed his human side would make him
more vunerable to being broken, but that had not been the case. Instead, his
human side made his will stronger. She concluded that the only way to
permanently break him would be the submission toxin and made a mental note to
begin giving it to him every day. Soon, he would be reduced to a
loyal lap dog.
A rustle in the far corner of the field caught her attention. She
stood then dashed toward the movement. Within minutes she approached the
area then stopped a few feet
from the fence, intently monitoring the large bush on the other side.
Carefully, silently, she slipped an arrow from the quiver on her back then
notched it and drew it taught.
It was there, she sensed the strong demonic presense directly
behind the large tangle of leafy briars. Patiently, she waited.
For several minutes, everything was still: the air, the grass, the vines
of briars. Then, at the snap of a twig, she tensed.
The leaves barely rustled. From just around the leafy branches,
the wary demon cautiously crept out.

Inuyasha knocked on Kagome's door. Hearing no answer, he slowly opened it
and peeked in to find the room empty. Walking in, he heard tinkles of small
splashes in the bathroom. He stood at the bathroom door. "Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay?"
"Ummm. Yeah."
"Okay." Satisfied with her strong reply, he sat down on the bed and waited.
After a while, she opened the door and eased out, fully dressed in a
powder blue summer dress and glancing at him
with a meek smile. Long black strands of wet hair clung to her pink cheeks.
He wasn't sure if the pink was for him or from the heat of the bath.
She sat down next to him and sighed while falling into a contemplative stare
at the wall.
For a while, he watched her sad profile until he couldn't take it anymore.
"Kagome?"
"Mmmmmm?" She hummed without looking at him.
"Are you sad?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know."
"Are you hungry?" It was past lunchtime. Eating might make her feel better.
Then, as if not even hearing his question..."I...I don't understand.
Why? Why did he....? I mean, I've known him for so long. He...He tried to...
I just can't believe he tried to..."
"He's an idiot and I'm glad he's gone." Inuyasha blurted out in irritation.
"What did you do with him?" Kagome asked, seemingly lost in thought.
He smirked. "I threw him out the front door along with his suitcase. He
won't be back anytime soon."
"Oh." Her sad stare fell to the floor.
This was stupid. Kagome seemed sad over that dumb prick. She needed to
snap out of it and forget about the idiot. "Kagome?"
"Mmmmm?"
She still wasn't looking at him, just staring at the damn floor.
He grabbed her hand then stood up, pulling her up with him, ready
to hear protest when he looked into her eyes. "Ka...." He froze when he
was trapped by those big brown pools again. For a long moment, he couldn't
speak for he was swimming in those pools that were seeing and searching
him for the first time. He tried to make himself move, but couldn't. She
had him trapped and he wanted to be. Her pink lips parted and he almost
melted right there.
He leaned in then paused as that quivering gaze continued to search
him. Wanting so much to taste those pink lips, Inuyasha stood there,
heart pounding in his ears, not understanding why he was hesitating as if
something was holding him back. So instead, he pulled her into him. Her
body molded into his. Her warmth and sweet scent filled his chest. It was
the first time in a very long time that he had felt this much happiness.
The hug ended way too soon when Kagome slid from his arms.
Avoiding his gaze, cheeks pink, she smiled while glancing shyly at him as
she began looking around the room before finding a pair of brown sandles near
the bed. "I'm feeling a little hungry now. Let's go outside to eat. Okay?"
Inuyasha, smiling, and probably gazing with idiotic bliss at the
blushing girl before him, simply gave a nod. "Sure."
Before leaving out the door, Kagome paused, giving a hard look to the
thick leather collar around his neck. She frowned in determination.
"I'm taking that thing off you. Come on. We're going to find the key first
before we do anything else."
In all that had been going on, he had completely forgotten about it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first place Kagome went was Kikyo's office study. Not
finding the key, she headed for Kikyo's bedroom: the place where
she had found Inuyasha drunk on that toxin.
In Kikyo's bedroom, Kagome searched high and low until she
finally found a flat piece of metal in a small drawer of the dresser.
It matched the lock on
the leather collar. Inuyasha, who had been quietly standing in the middle
of the room as she looked, watched her with interest as she came to him
with the key. She reached up and moved some of his hair out of the way.
The tips of her fingers tingled when she accidentally brushed his skin
while turning the lock toward her.
Inuyasha lifted his chin and his gaze from her. Kagome felt his breath
on her face, making her suddenly aware of how close he was. Her cheeks
heated up again as she thought of how they had almost kissed only minutes
before. Pushing the thought away for the moment, she placed the key over
the flat lock, set it in, then tried to turn it. It wouldn't turn. "Strange."
"I think it's sealed."
Kagome glanced up to see him looking at her again. "Huh? You think she
sealed it?"
"Yeah, I tried to take it off but couldn't. It's just leather and metal.
I could easily break it if it wasn't sealed."
Knowing he was right, Kagome let out a long breath. "Okay then. Let's
see if I can fix that problem."
Concentrating, Kagome kept one hand on the lock while holding the collar with
the other. She felt a sting when the seal broke. The lock turned. Kagome smiled
as she slid the collar off. "Wow. I did it. Cool."
The hanyou rubbed his neck. "Can you throw that thing away or burn it?"
"Wish I could but this is Kikyo's property. I think I've done too much
now by sneaking in here and snooping around." She said while replacing the
lock in the small drawer. "Let's get out of here."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Inuyasha placed the lunch basket on the blanket under the large oak
near the fenceline.
Kagome, smiling, sat down next to the basket and began pulling out
two boxes of food and some drinks. "This is a nice spot. Here." She handed
a box to him.
Inuyasha took the wooden box and opened it. It was packed with meat, rice
and steamed vegetables. "Hey, where's the noodles and sauce?"
Kagome, chopsticks in hand, leaned over the basket and looked in. "Mmmm
I think there's some in a bowl in there. Want it?"
He reached over and stuck his hand in the basket while growling a grin.
"Of course I want it, Kagome. Geez. Were you hiding it from me? You know I
love the stuff." Quickly, he opened the bowl and began chowing down,
ignoring the flying bits of pasta.
She whapped his head with the chopsticks. "No I wasn't hiding it. Baka."
With a mouthful of noodles, he mocked offence. "Hey! whad da do vat for?"
The girl before him chuckled then burst into laughter so hard she dropped her
chopsticks. She pointed at him, giggling.
"You...you...got....ha...ha...Oh oh, my sides
hurt. You got...noodles in your..." She reached out and began plucking long
strands of noodles from his hair and off his ears.
Inuyasha swallowed. "Humph. So. I got a little messy." He dropped the bowl
then grabbed her hand which was pulling the noodles. She froze and he
smirked. "Those are mine." He ate them out of her palm then sucked on her
fingers.
Kagome, mouth open, stared at him with wide surprised eyes as he
grinned while licking the tips of her fingers.
He let go of the blushing girl's hand, self-satisfied with the heated
effect he had purposely provoked. "Thanks."
Her gape slowly drew into a return smirk. "You little..." She
slung a noodle, hitting him in the nose.
The wet saucy noodle dangled from
his nose for only a second before he slurped it into his mouth. "It's on
now!" He dove for the grinning girl who tried
to scramble away, grabbing her waist then rolling over the green grass as she
giggled till he had her pinned to the ground. "Gotcha!"
Lying there, She stopped laughing and stared up at him with a strange smile.
Taken a bit offguard, Inuyasha lightly sucked on his bottom lip while
gazing back at the innocent wonder in her beautiful
face and large brown eyes.
He leaned down, again, so close to her breath, to her pink,
smooth lips....
"Inuyasha?" She whispered.
"Yeah...?..." He answered, barely hearing her voice over the beating
of her heart...and his.
The girl beneath him gulped sweetly. "Uh...I....think we...should...."
He didn't let her finish by closing the distance and gently pressing his
lips to her wet warm ones.
