Unbreak My Heart
5.5 – The Claim
She attempted to console herself while wiping away
stray tears and putting on a brave face, but no matter how many times she tried
to reason herself short of his commitment toward her-she failed miserably...
‘He does protect me with his life, he’s always at my side, he would never
leave me or let any harm come to me, he cares for me in his own way’. She
sighed before leaning into her hand, ‘he’s extremely jealous…gorgeous,
strong…domineering’…
”Kagome?” An uncharacteristically male voice spoke from behind her pulling her
out of her dream-like thoughts.
--
Inuyasha had not slept at all that night; he found shelter in his usual branch
to think. Not that it helped any, he mostly argued with himself - his pride
getting the better of him while his conscience bereted him for his out burst
and behaviour the day before (Déjà vu). Miroku had checked up on him that
morning and left him some fresh vegetables with long grain rice at the root of
the god tree, but Inuyasha did not even attempt to leave his brooding place…
The silence from the forest had not made it easy, he could hear his thoughts
clearly and it was getting to him. As if answering his silent plea, his ears
soon began to twitch upon hearing the sound of small footsteps. Inuyasha
lowered his eyes and peered through the leaves of the branches when his nose
picked up on the familiar scent of the kitsune cub.
"I-Inuyasha?" came the hesitant young voice as he appeared into
Inuyasha’s line of sight.
Keeping his cool proudly at the arrival of the kit, ”Aa, what is it?" He
replied, trying his best not to be so abrupt.
There was a sound of leaves brushing together followed by the feel of small
vibrations at the lower end of the tree before a pair of solemn eyes peered up
through a branch in front of the proud hanyou.
Inuyasha watched the kit through the corner of his eye;
Shippo was fumbling about with his paws his eyes downcast slightly, looking as
though he was contemplating something.
"Well?" Inuyasha growled slightly, instantly
regretting it when the fox-youkai jumped at the tone.
”I’m sorry…Inuyasha” he quietly but quickly apologised.
Inuyasha’s eyebrow rose as he eyed up the kitsune suspiciously. “You’re saying
you’re sorry?” he asked, leaning down and over the skittish cub.
Shippo lowered his head and nodded, “Inuyasha, I didn’t mean what I said…I was
angry and hurt.”
Inuyasha rubbed his temple and shook his head slightly, “You said sorry?” he
repeated.
Shippo jerked his head up, keeping his eye contact on the confused hanyou.
“Yes…why is that so hard to believe?” The cub retorted, narrowing his small
eyes in annoyance.
Inyasha’s smile curled at his lips baring one fang as his head lowered down to
meet the kitsune’s narrowed eyes. “You’ve never apologised before, brat! What
gives?” he growled slightly.
Shippo stuck his nose in the air and held his head up high, bringing his arms
over his chest mimicking the hanyou’s proud pose. “Nothing gives, Inuyasha! I’m
not that much of a selfish ass-that allows his massive pride to get in
the way of saying you’re sorry-after saying the wrong things to someone
you care for!” he emphasised before widening his eyes. “… Not that I care for
you or anything!” he quickly added, rolling up into a small ball waiting for
the hanyou to lash out at him.
1, 2, 3…
Nothing…
Shippo slowly opened one of his clenched eyes and peeped up at Inuyasha
curiously. Inuyasha was just staring at him, his face lacking of any particular
give away as to what he was feeling after that comment.
Gulping, Shippo freed himself from his tightened curl and moved closer to the
disturbingly calm hanyou in front of him.
”Inuyasha?” he daringly asked, moving inches toward him.
Inuyasha did not flinch or reply as the small kit reached out with a shaky hand
and lightly tapped the hanyou on the shoulder. Without any indication of force
from the kitsune Inuyasha swayed slightly, causing the fox to jump out of the
way when the hanyou actually began to fall from the branch he was perched
upon.
Shippo watched with widened eyes as Inuyasha descended toward the ground and
hit it with a loud thump causing the cub to cringe slightly.
”I guess he was in shock,” he mumbled to himself before hopping down from the
tree to land on Inuyasha’s back. “Inuyasha, are you alright?” he asked the
grounded hanyou below him.
Moaning in reply, Inuyasha mumbled something about “Feeling like shit” before
getting up from the ground and pushing the cub off his back.
”You little bastard! You did that on purpose!” he growled under his breath
shading his eyes under the bangs of his hair.
”Did what on purpose?!” came the reply.
”You’re just a bloody cub, how the hell did you do that?! Come here…” Inuyasha
said darkly baring a fang menacingly.
”Wha…??” he squeaked, backing up from the Inu-youkai in front of him.
“I said come here…” he repeated, swiping his claws out at the kitsune.
Shippo screeched and took off into the forest crying out for Sango and Miroku
to save him from the demented hanyou.
Inuyasha stood his ground and sighed. He was not in any mood to play chase
today, the kit had done enough to him already.
’Damnit!’ he growled inwardly, taking off in the direction of the well.
‘How’d he make it look so fucking easy to do?!’
(Of course that meant why couldn’t he apologise as easy as that when
he knew he were in the wrong?)
--
Inuyasha neared the well at top speed, he had to apologise to Kagome, their time
together for the last week had spe spent tearing each others throats out – She
was leaving him soon and he did not want to leave their relationship in bad
terms.
Just as he was about to jump into the well Kaede called out to him beckoning
him toward her.
Grumbling about how her timing sucked, he did as he was told. “What is it now, baba?”
”Inuyasha, bring Kagome back. I have to speak to her…” The old miko said
ignoring the hanyou’s rudeness and tone.
Inuyasha said nothing but nodded knowingly…
As he made it to the other side he was greeted by the sweet smell of Kagome,
but it also seemed to faintly be off. Different almost.
Tears
”Stupid girl! She’s crying again.”
’Because of you no doubt!’
”Shut up!” He growled, hopping out of the well and toward Kagome’s window.
As he reached up to slide the window to enter her room, the salty taste
intensified sending his senses in to a frenzy of guilt and worry. He cringed
upon hearing her sob, she obviously had no clue he was right behind her.
”Kagome?” he quietly called for her. She seemed to be a little jumpy when she
turned to meet his gaze.
”Inuyasha…” She paused before continuing, “Inuyasha, what are you doing here?”
she managed to ask, unconsciously lowering her head to the side in order to cover
the mark on her neck.
Inuyasha looked at her oddly eyeing her every move. He did not sense any kind
of hostility in the air and she had not shouted at him (which was a good thing)
yet…
”Umm, are you alright, Kagome?” he asked, mimicking her head movements to the
side so his eyes stayed in contact with her own.
Kagome nodded and blushed slightly. Inuyasha noticed the blush instantly and
grew suspicious. “Then what’s with this?” he asked, indicating to her strange
position.
”Oh!” She smiled nervously pointing at her neck and head, “I-I didn’t sleep to
well and I think I umm pulled a muscle or something.” She quickly made up
silently praying he would take the bait and ask no more questions.
”Then you’re not alright.” He snorted crossing his arms over his chest and
glaring at her sternly.
’There goes wishful thinking…’ “Its nothing, Inuyasha. Honestly.” She
reassured him.
Grunting with his usual ”Keh!” He stomped up to her, closing the gap between
them so he could get a better look at her supposed discomfort.
Kagome took a small back step when he got a little ‘up to close and personal’
and invaded her space.
“Inuyasha, I said it was fine!”
”Let me look at it wench!” came his reply as he reached out to grab her toward
him.
His hand clenched over her shaky arm when he froze.
His first reaction was to run. He had no idea why, but his legs would not move
like his brain had stopped functioning. He cursed inwardly. His second thoughts
were ‘What the fuck?’ and then came the How, when, and why? questions.
How the hell did this happen?
When the hell did this happen?
Why the hell didn’t I notice this earlier!?
His nose twitched once again just to make sure he was not wrong about what he
smelt. It did not lie. He had picked up on her sent intensely when he neared
her, but his brain seemed to shut down, and he could not even move let alone
say a damn word!
Shit. His mind swore as his hold upon her arm tightened in a lame
attempt of reassurance on both their parts.
Kagome awkwardly looked up at his golden eyes, which were out of focus and
widened. ‘Oh gods, he knows…’ her heart leaped out of her chest when she
felt his hand around her arm tighten. She could not hide the mark on her neck
any longer there was little or no point now. Taking in a small breath she
slowly lifted her head keeping her eyes upon the hanyou in front of her.
Inuyasha watched her as she moved her head from its position revealing the last
piece of evidence to prove he was not dreaming the whole thing up.
He let go of her arm and unconsciously stepped back from her.
‘Gods what have… I done?!’
”Kagome…”
