Chapter Eight:

Plots Aplenty
Inu-Yasha woke to find the most amazing scent filling his
nose. Though he couldn�t quite identify
it, for there were many scents at once, he knew exactly from whence it came.
But that couldn�t be right.
Afraid to open his eyes, Inu-Yasha tried moving some of his
muscles only to find weight on his chest.
It wasn�t unpleasant� by far the opposite� and it just felt...
what was the word? Right. Everything felt right just then. He felt as though he could just lie there
forever and never even track Naraku down again. The scent made him feel warm, comforted, but
it made his head spin a little.
A small noise� like a whimper � and a small movement from
upon his chest caught Inu-Yasha�s attention.
Opening an eye halfway, what Inu-Yasha saw widened his eyes of gold to
the size of those plates Mrs. Higurashi served food on.
Very basic and short thoughts went through his mind at that
moment, �Kagome is sleeping on my chest.
Her head is on my shoulder. Why
is she smiling like that? What�s goin�
on here? Why is she...?�
Inu-Yasha�s racing thoughts were interrupted when Kagome
began to open her eyes. She looked at
him for a little while, eyes puzzled and brain a little fuzzy from sleep. As soon as she saw what the source of her
puzzlement was, she put her hands on either side of Inu-Yasha�s head and pushed
herself up.
Not a good thing to do when a hanyou has your scent in his
nose.
Heart and thoughts racing, Inu-Yasha suddenly grabbed Kagome
by the shoulders, lifted his upper body, and gave Kagome the smallest of kisses
upon her slightly parted lips.
Surprise shot through Kagome�s eyes, but no one was more
startled than Inu-Yasha. He stiffened,
waiting for Kagome to get up and deliver �sits� until she was blue in the
face. He watched her face, different
emotions swirling in her eyes. Kagome
opened her mouth, and Inu-Yasha just knew it was coming. That long string of a different sort of
curse words than he used himself. This
wasn�t anything vulgar; it was worse.
It would be that same damn word over and over and over again.
�I-Inu-Yasha.... wha...?�
His own mind befuddled by the fact that her first word of the
morning was his own name, Inu-Yasha cocked his head at her and flattened his
ears to the sides of his head.
�I�m sorry, K-Kagome.
I don�t know what ca...�
But something in Kagome�s eyes wouldn�t let him finish. It was there, he could see it quite
perfectly; he knew what he was seeing, but he wouldn�t believe it. That �look� couldn�t be there. Was she... happy that he had kissed
her? Relieved, maybe? Inu-Yasha couldn�t tell. His head was spinning faster now, as though
he�d drunk too much sak� or something.
He had kissed Kagome.
And she liked it?
�Inu-Yasha?� She
asked again, reaching a hand to cup his cheek.
This was too much. Are in you
there?�
Though not really wanting to talk to anyone, Kagome invited,
�Hai, I�m here. Come on in.�
Walking in as casually as possible, Tora knelt in front of
Kagome, trying to keep the triumph out of his eyes.
�What�s the matter, K-chan?
What happened?yes"> She asked, cocking her head at him.
Shippo pointed behind where Venita sat, and when Venita
turned, she scented what Shippo must most likely have heard or smelled.
All of a sudden, Inu-Yasha burst through the trees, a sort of
disturbed look on his face.
He pointed to Venita, �You.
Me. Talk. Now.�
Without waiting for a reply Inu-Yasha took off, leaving a
dazed trio behind him. Shaking her
head, Venita signaled for So ano and Kirara to play somewhere else while she
tracked down the elusive hanyou.
�Go play with Tora-san, all right? I�m sure he�d be so glad to see you.� Venita smiled, taking to the trees to catch
Inu-Yasha�s scent.
Also not waiting to hear the response she would get from her
implied command, Venita stopped on a branch to retrace the distinct scent she�d
been following. Finally finding it once
more, Venita landed in a small clearing.
�Took you long enough.�
Turning around quickly, Venita saw Inu-Yasha sitting
cross-legged on the ground, his bangs covering his eyes. His arms were crossed over his chest, and
Venita felt confusion coming off of him in waves.
�Maybe so, but at least I came. What�s the matter, Inu-Yasha-san? What happened?� Venita
asked, stepping closer to him at a slow pace.
He allowed a growl to pass his lips, �I-I-I don�t really know what
happened, Venita-san. One minute I was
sleeping, and the next...�
Venita cocked her head in feign interest, �What? What happened in the next moment?�
�I opened my eyes and...... and Kagome was just right
there.� He said, not really sure how to
continue.
�Of course she was right there, Inu-san,� Venita tried to say
as reasonably as she could, �I was telling you that earlier...�
�No I mean, she was right there.�
�Right where?�
Inu-Yasha began to look uncomfortable as he lifted his head,
�She was on top of me.�
Venita did the best she could to look surprised. She widened her and and her mouth opened a
little bit. Then she quirked an
eyebrow.
�Wow, I knew you two liked each other, but goodness,
if that�s goin� on you�re both terrific actors. And here Tora-kun, Lunia-chan, and I were
plotting to put you two together. Wow,
you�ve saved us some hard work, Inu-san.
I might have to start calling you Brother-in-Law, just to practice for
when the time comes. If I�d had known
you two were that far along in your relationship, well...�
�Would you shut up?!� Inu-Yasha interrupted, standing up with
a blush on his face, �It�s not like that with Kagome and me! I woke nd snd she was just right on top of
me! And then I-I...�
Concern crossing her face, Venita wondered just what had happened
after they�d woken up to each other, �Yes?
What did you do, Inu-san? You
can tell me. I won�t tell anyone if you
don�t want me to, I promise. Not even Kouga-kun
will hear of this if you do not wish him to.�
Inu-Yasha turned this over in his head. Venita would keep something from Kouga? There was a surprise. But the thought of telling someone else what
had happened was embarrassing, and also made him sound like Miroku.
�Never mind, I�m sorry I dragged you out here,
Venita-san.� Inu-Yasha said, turning to
go.
�Oh no you don�t,� Venita said, stepping into his
path, �you wanted to talk, so let�s talk. Please, Inu-san, I won�t tell anyone, of that you can be
certain. Have I ever lied to you?�
�Well there was that time when you lied to us about being a
girl, and being an assassin, a fire demon, and then a wolf demon. Did I miss anything?�
Venita smiled, �But I didn�t lie to you then,
Inu-san. I just refrained from
mentioning. You can�t lie if you don�t
say anything.�
Sighing and flattening his ears to the side of his head,
Inu-Yasha turned to face her, a slow blush creeping onto his face while
emotions swirled in his eyes of gold, �You swear you won�t tell anyone?�
�On my brother�s grave.�
Venita said, putting her right hand over her heart while keeping her
left hand visible so he couldn�t accuse her of crossing her fingers.
�I kissed Kagome.� He
whispered, knowing she could hear it.
Inu-Yasha watched as Venita�s right hand flew to her mouth
and a gasp escaped her lips. Her eyes
had widened and her pupils were the size of pinpricks.
As Venita�s mind processed the information that had just been
fed into her brain, she inwardly squealed with delight. She�d believed her plan perfect, and she had
been right; however, she�d never planned for it to go this well! Now there were only a few things to be done
before anything else could happen, and Venita would have to consult the experts
on this.
�Of course, I�m sure Tora already knows what�s happened
through K-chan, so all that leaves is Lunia-chan to tell. Although, I�m sure she could find out any
number of ways, and probably has. So
then I really wouldn�t be breaking my promise to Inu-san because she�d already
know; and besides, Inu-san never said that she couldn�t tell anyone else.� Venita thought, walking closer to Inu-Yasha
and putting her arms around his neck in a loose hug.
To say Inu-Yasha was startled would have been an
understatement. When Venita let go, his
eyes were wide and puzzled.
�W-what was that for?� He asked, �Won�t Kouga
get pissed off?�
Venita cocked her head at him as though she had no clue what
he was talking about, �Kouga-kun doesn�t mind if I hug other men, so long as
their scent isn�t too overpowering. As
to why I hugged you, well, it�s just my way of telling you that I am thankful
for this conversation, and also thankful to the fact that you opened up to
me. I am gladdened by this, Inu-san,
and I hope it may continue. I�m always
here for you to talk to, I swear it.�
With a smile, Venita hopped back into a tree and gestured for
Inu-Yasha to follow. He did, but he
couldn�t stop thinking about just how many people were so willing
to help him, and how he never really used their help, even though he
needed it.
�I should talk to Venita-san more often,� he finally
decided, �that way I won�t blow up on the first person to talk to me.�
That way of thinking burned into his mind, Inu-Yasha was a
little startled to see Tora exiting Kaede�s hut holding Kagome�s hand. It infuriated him, but he immediately
quenched his anger. She was probably
talking to Tora just as he had talked to Venita. Yes, that had to be it.
So then why was she laughing like that? And why was she holding his hand like
that? Too deep into his thoughts,
Inu-Yasha nearly jumped when he felt Venita�s hand on his shoulder.
�It�s all right, Inu-san,� she whispered, �they were just
talking, I promise you. K-chan holds
hands with people she trusts, and also when they�ve just helped her out with a
problem. Just relax, don�t explode, and
everything will be all right.�
�You�re sure about that?�
Inu-Yasha asked, looking down at the white-haired woman.
She nodded, �As sure as the hair on your head is white.�
Inu-Yasha sighed and visibly relaxed. He seemed more at ease with himself, and for
that Venita was grateful.
An angry hanyou was the last thing Kagome needed at the
moment.
�What should I do?�
Looking at Inu-Yasha, Venita asked, �What do you want to
do?�
�I-I want to go over there,� Inu-Yasha said, his voice
dropping with every word, �hold her close to me and tell her that everything�s
going to be okay and that I�m sorry for what happened this morning.�
�Are you sorry?�
Venita�s question startled him, but it also made him think,
�No.�
�Then don�t apologize,� Venita said, turning to go, �oh, and
as to what you should do?�
�Yeah?�
�What you just said sounded just fine to me. Other than the apology. The rest is great. Keep up the good work.�
Venita said, a grin on her face as she began walking away from the
wide-eyed hanyou.
Tora watched Venita walk off, noticing the smirk on her face,
�I�d bet my entire teddy bear collection that Ookami-sama�s already got
another plan figured out.�
And had the winnings been money rather than teddy bears, Tora
would be a very rich man.
