A/N: Ok,
that’s twice fanfiction.net deleted me. I guess a third time and I’ll be banned
for good, eh? No matter… if, one day, you can’t seem to find my account on
fanfiction.net then take note of my emergency account here under the name of silvershine1.
This account was created for the likely event that I’ll be banned so here’s
heads up of where to find the story when “SillverShine” disappears. If you have
me on author alert then it may be a good idea to add SilverShine1 to author
alert as well – to be notified of when I repost the story. =)

Chapter
Nine
“I just hope
to sleep and never awaken,
Nothing left
in this world could replace what you have taken.”
~Sandy Cheney
Kagome usually
had a good sense of premonition when it came to approaching disasters.
Actually, no, that was a lie. She liked to think she had though, because that
would then mean she had a hint of warning, warning enough to avoid the oncoming
chaos.
But alas, that
was Kagome’s blind spot.
After all,
she’d sensed nothing on her fifteenth birthday other than the jubilation that
she was now old enough to go see that movie in the theater with Hojo. Little
did she know that no sooner would she step into the well-house that an icky
centipede woman would crawl out of the well, grab her, then crawl away again.
To a different century, no less.
And there was
nothing to prepare her for her fourteenth birthday party – other than the fact
that Souta seemed to have mislaid one of his precious cherry bombs. But that
was no surprise. The real surprise came when Kagome’s birthday cake
exploded on the third line of “Happy Birthday to You!”, having been implanted
with Souta’s cherry for reasons unknown.
So perhaps
Kagome’s disaster perception hadn’t been on top form the last couple of years…
so perhaps that was also why she’d been able to have sex with Inuyasha without
an inkling that she was walking into a sneaky trap laid by Fate.
Screw Naraku.
Fate was her newest, most deadly foe.
Kagome chewed
her lip and fingernails alternately as she dwelled on all the things that could
possibly go wrong starting from that moment onwards. Inuyasha was sleeping
noisily beside her, one arm strewn out as a pillow for her head and the other
dangling off the edge of the bed. Perhaps he’d roll over and crush her to
death? That would be pretty bad.
Or perhaps the
ceiling would fall and squash the pair of them?
Or perhaps
WWIII would start at that very moment and The Higurashi Shrine would be the
first place to get the bomb?
Or perhaps –
and this was such a terrifying thought that Kagome couldn’t help but quiver in
fear – perhaps she would fail her upcoming test?! Kagome shuddered again. She
could barely stand thinking about it…
Maybe it was a
good idea to skip school today on the grounds that there was a chance she might
fail the test… then at least she’d have more time to revise before taking it at
a later date.
Today seemed a
good a day as any to get back to the Sengoku Jidai.
“Inuyasha…?”
Kagome prodded him in the ribs with a finger. “Inuyasha, wake up.”
“Geroff…” he
mumbled.
Kagome poked
him harder. “Don’t be so lazy! It’s eight o’clock!”
“What’s ‘eight
oh clock’?” Inuyasha yawned widely and stretched languidly.
“It’s between
seven and nine o’clock.” Kagome sat up, carefully keeping the bed cover clamped
over her breasts. “I figured we should get back to the Sengoku Jidai today.”
Inuyasha’
stretched paused, half-finished. His eyes popped open and he regarded her
peculiarly. “Excuse me?”
“Yeah… if the
well’s clear.” Kagome shrugged.
There was
something so odd about the way they were talking. It was so normal… so casual…
so like every other conversation they usually had. Except they were both naked.
Inuyasha
suddenly seemed to realise that fact as his eyes scanned her scantily clad
form. That puzzled pout slipped straight into a leer as his hand snaked out
beneath the quilt towards her thigh. “What’s the hurry? We’ve got a lot of time
on our hands here and it’s and empty house…”
Scenario
#1: The Abandoned House (Revisited)
Kagome wasn’t
entirely sure what he had in mind was a good idea. After all, was it wise to
tempt fate twice in the same morning?
But all the
same, there was a naughty side of Kagome that seemed to have woken up with her,
and this Miss. Naughty wanted nothing more than for Inuyasha’s hand to travel
further than just her thigh. Kagome’s face flamed at the thought and she
quickly shooed his hand away.
“Inuyasha…”
she groaned in her ‘oh no, not this again’ tone. “I’m still kinda sore from the
last time…”
Inuyasha
looked up at her thoughtfully. “So am I.” After a moment of consideration, he
reached up and tugged her back down onto the bed with him. “But who said we
have to go all the way again?”
His lips
sealed against hers, and Kagome’s eyebrows shot up as his hands maneuvered her
body closer to his. But that was as far as he went, and he seemed content
enough in just attacking her lips. Kagome’s hesitation lasted only for a
moment, before she entwined her fingers behind his nape and met his kiss with equal
passion.
A gentle
warmth spread over her… not the dizzying craving of the lust she’d been victim
to over the past week. This was simple pleasure. Simple happiness. How many
times had she dreamed of holding Inuyasha like this? How many times had she berated
herself that it was an unattainable fantasy.
Inuyasha broke
the kiss to nuzzle the sensitive place behind her ear. “Did you enjoy last
night?” he asked breathlessly.
Despite the
impending doom of her fortune, Kagome couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah…”
Of course, it
hadn’t been quite what she’d expected. After what her friends had said about
sex, and what the romance books had told her, she’d been expecting something
akin to an intense euphoria. Feelings one would have when tumbling over a cliff
into passion. Fireworks behind her eyes as something inside her exploded. She’d
expected to bond with Inuyasha in a physical and spiritual way – for their
hearts to come together as one!
Rather, it had
been less like her dream and more of a sweaty, silly affair. Fun, nonetheless,
and she wouldn’t say no to doing it again, however anticlimactic her
expectations had proven.
Maybe Inuyasha
was right? Sex… it was a little overrated.
Most relieving
of all, she didn’t feel changed as she’d thought she might. Everything had felt
perfectly natural.
Inuyasha’s
attentions had turned to her collarbone. “I told you you’d like it.” He said,
in between his kisses. “We should do it more often.”
For a terrible
moment, Kagome thought that her initial concerns had been right after all. Was
this just a good way to pass the time? A simple way of getting his jollies?
But then he
lifted his head and she locked eyes with him… and what she saw there wasn’t
flippancy. She doubted it was possible to see ‘love’ shining in anyone’s eyes,
but there was definitely more in that gaze than mere hunger.
Devotion
burned there too.
Kagome’s mouth
went dry and her hand reached out to cup his cheek. To touch his beautiful face
and all the eagerness and devotion that lay there. He wasn’t taking her for granted,
even though for a moment, Kagome had done just that…
“Kiss me
again…” she whispered.
He obeyed
without complaint, and at the first stroke of his tongue against hers, a
familiar flame roared into life in her belly. The temperature of the room began
to climb as his hands roamed her body restlessly. She squirmed, trying to gain
as much skin-contact as possible, all whilst kissing each other wildly.
When Inuyasha
rolled her beneath him, disturbing the bed spread in haphazard manner, and when
Kagome’s felt the distinct hardness of his length jutting against her stomach,
she knew that there would be a repeat of last night. But once again, she was
too far gone with the passion to even care about what this could do to her
fortune.
A heavy groan
escaped her throat as Inuyasha moved to devour her throat again. Clammy fingers
grasped at his shoulders and nonsensical words spilled for her mouth. “I love
you…” Or were they Freudian slips? “God, I love you so much…”
The muscles
beneath her fingertips stiffened slightly and a frown pulled at Kagome’s brows
as she wondered what that meant. But no sooner had the doubt crossed her mind,
the unease seemed to leave Inuyasha and he was stepping up the assault on her
body.
He was just
coaxing her thighs apart when the front door slammed.
Both teenagers
froze in a compromised position, each holding their breath.
“Oh my – that
was a lot of awful traffic!” Someone who sounded suspiciously like Kagome’s
mother exclaimed from somewhere downstairs. “You better be quick Souta – you have
to get changed for school!”
“Ohhhh!” came
the whining response. “Can’t I just take today off?”
“Not a chance,
young man. Go get ready now, you have to be gone in five minutes.”
Kagome’s eye
widened in horror as she gaped up at Inuyasha who gaped back with equal terror.
“Shit…” he
muttered.
“Quick…”
Kagome wiggled out from under him. “Get dressed! Hurry!”
It was almost comical the way they managed to scramble up from the bed,
leaving the sheets in a maelstrom as they charged around the room looking for the
various articles of clothing they’d lost the night before – all on the tips of
their toes.
……………..
Well that had been a nice spontaneous vacation, Mrs Higurashi thought
cheerfully as she unloaded her bags in the kitchen. It had been nice to get
away from the house for a change. Being an unemployed widow and stuck at home
all day was enough to make anyone a manic depressant… add on a daughter who was
never home and hanging out with only god knew what kind of mob and coming home
periodically with the odd blood stain on her clothes. Add on another child who
was going around his school telling everyone that his sister’s boyfriend was a
demon – and getting various letters home that were questioning her child’s
sanity, and an eccentric father who just – wouldn’t – move – out!
In fact, Mrs Higurashi had been very close to another nervous breakdown…
not that she’d worry anyone by letting them know.
But that
didn’t matter. She was all better now! Refreshed from her little holiday and
ready to battle a few months more of intense loneliness and-
What was that
noise?
Mrs Higurashi
looked up at the ceiling, realising that the sound had come from Kagome’s room…
and since both her son and her father were in their respective bedrooms downstairs,
it could only mean that Kagome was home!
Dropping her
bags, Mrs Higurashi hurried out of the kitchen and trotted up the stairs.
“Kagome?” she called as she approached her daughter’s door. “Kagome – we’re
back.”
But when she
opened the door, there was no one.
The bedroom
was untouched; the bed made and a wash of fresh air bathed the room from the
open window. Slightly disappointed, Kagome’s mother made her way to the window
and shut it again – obviously her daughter wasn’t aware of the dangers of
burglars. How careless.
Looking around
the room, Mrs Higurashi folded her arms and tried to think of how to make the
room any tidier in preparation for her daughter’s next visit. Perhaps if she
could be a better mother than her daughter would lover her more and spend time
at home for a change…?
So Mrs
Higurashi started going around the room, picking up the discarded pairs of
socks, skirts and panties that marked Kagome’s room as the typical teenage
room.
But wait…
since when did Kagome wear a fundoshi?
Mrs Higurashi
stared at the medieval article hanging on the end of her finger for a good
minute or two before shaking her head and adding it to the pile. Who was she to
judge what Kagome bought while she was
over in the Sengoku Jidai?
The clothes
were deposited in the nearest laundry bin before Mrs H went on to fetch the
garbage can. There wasn’t much in there other than a few scrunched up balls of
paper and the plastic wrappings off a few energy bars… and…
“Oh my…” Mrs
Higurashi almost dropped the can in shock.
A condom
wrapper…
……………
“That was
close…” Kagome panted as she slouched against the well, safely back in the
Sengoku Jidai… no matter how much of an oxymoron ‘safe’ and ‘sengoku jidai’ was
together.
“Yeah…”
Inuyasha was resting his hands on his knees nearby. “And I’ve seen what they do
to men who taint the family’s daughters…”
Kagome shot
him a suspicious look.
“I mean… I’ve
seen what they do to Miroku.” He shrugged.
Kagome turned
her gaze back to the earth beside her as a tense sigh escaped her lips. That
had been close. Way too close. In fact, they’d only just gotten out of the
window as her mother had started opening the door. What if Mrs Higurashi had
looked out the window and seen them? What if she decided to change the bed
sheets and found the blood…?
Well, that one
Kagome could blame on her period if necessary, so perhaps it wasn’t a total
disaster if her mother saw it…
But what if
there was something else – something that Kagome had missed that would land her
in so much trouble that she’d regret her night with Inuyasha forever?
And what if
the repercussions were something else?
Too many
doubts and worries plagued her mind…
“Kagome?
Hello? Anyone in there?”
Inuyasha’s
knuckles wrapped against her head, and Kagome’s chin jerked up – only just
realising that she was being spoken to. “Sorry?” she asked.
“I said we
should probably go back to the village.” He held out his hand for her to take.
“Come on.”
Kagome
regarded it carefully before hesitantly clasping his wrist and levering herself
to her feet. She patted her skirt down carefully, trying to smooth the rumples
and wrinkles sustained from, and by the time she lifted her head Inuyasha was
already making his way off through the trees.
Pulling a
pout, Kagome moved after him. She was a little disappointed that he wasn’t
being more romantic for all the intimacy they’d shared last night. But then
again, what did she expect? She knew well enough that Inuyasha wasn’t a
romantic person and hadn’t she already decided that she didn’t want anything
between them to change?
Well… perhaps
just a little bit of common affection would go appreciated…?
Unfortunately,
Kagome had been staring at Inuyasha’s back so hard that she hadn’t been paying
attention to where her feet landed again. It wasn’t long before the bridge of
her foot caught under the very same tree root as before and she went plummeting
to the ground with a helpless squeak.
Scenario #2: The 'Innocent' Fall
Inuyasha
glanced back over his shoulder. “Smooth, Kagome. Very smooth.” He intoned,
amused.
Kagome almost
growled. He was just lucky that she hadn’t sprained her ankle this time. “Maybe
you could stop laughing a moment and find it in your precious time to help me
up?” she bit out.
“Hey – you
have two feet – do it yourself!” he shot back, responding to her anger in a
heartbeat.
“I would! But
I think I broke one of them!” A total lie of course, but Inuyasha didn’t need
to know that. In fact, Kagome got a brief moment of smugness when she saw the
worry cross his face.
“Seriously?”
he was beside her in an instant and was crouching down to help her sit back
against the tree, his hands hovering near her ankles. “Which one?”
“Um…” she
pressed an index finger to her lips. “Neither.” She waited for him to
inevitably bite her head off for causing him concern. “I lied.”
But all he did
was shrug and smirk. “Figured. You’d be screaming your head off otherwise…”
Kagome smiled,
despite the mild insult, and looked down at where his fingers stroked against
her shins absently. This was terribly familiar… hadn’t they already done this
once before?
“You know… last
night…” Kagome began hesitantly, looking up at Inuyasha was dubious eyes. “Do
you think that we made the right decision?”
Inuyasha’s
hands were snatched away from her legs like he’d been scorched. Doubt crept
into his intense amber gaze. “What?” he asked sharply. “Do you regret it?”
“No!” Kagome
chirped quickly. “That’s not what I meant!” she lowered her head and tried
again. “I mean… do you think that it was wise? Considering how much we have at
stake right now? What if we got caught up in the moment? We didn’t think about
repercussions-”
Hard fingers
clasped her upper arms and Kagome jerked her eyes up to meet Inuyasha’s. “Are
you talking about that stupid fortune?”
“Um… maybe.”
Before he could leap into another rant about stupid superstition, Kagome rattled
on. “But what if there had been no fortune telling? That still doesn’t erase
the fact we both have a lot of loose ends to be tied up!”
“I told you –
nothing’s changed!” he barked at her.
“Of course it
has! If not now then it will later when people find out about us.” People
like Kikyo and Kouga and Sesshomaru and…
“Kagome,
nothing will change. The mission for Naraku and the Shikon shards won’t be
jeopardized and none of our ‘loose ends’ have to find out about us…” His hands
smoothed down her arms in a placating manner. “All it means… is that whenever
we’re alone I won’t be able to keep my hands off you.”
Something in
the way he said that made butterflies race from the tips of her toes to the pit
of her stomach. Her breath pitched unevenly and suddenly all she could focus on
was Inuyasha’s lips. “We’re alone now…” she pointed out.
“I noticed
that.” He said in a low voice, his hands circling her thighs with growing
sensuality. “So you don’t regret what we did?”
Kagome licked
her lips, but was unsure how to answer. She didn’t regret it yet… but
uncertainty still darkened the recesses of her thoughts.
“You shouldn’t
take any notice of your stupid friend’s fortunes.” He reminded her. “She told
me that I would do something within two days and regret it the rest of my
life!”
Kagome
stiffened. “When did she tell you that?”
Inuyasha
frowned. “When I went to her house looking for you.”
“Do you think…
do you think she meant… sex?” Kagome bit her lip.
It was all
Inuyasha could do to stop himself from strangling the poor girl. “It was a load
of bullshit, Kagome! Nothing’s happened that I would ever dream of regretting –
let alone taking you! That was the best moment of my life!”
A heavy blush
settled on Kagome’s cheeks. “Really?” she asked meekly.
“It was better
than I could ever have imagined.” He told her earnestly. “When I entered you –
it was fantastic. It felt so right and so perfect that I realised you were
right – it was a big deal. I’ve never felt so… at home… in my entire
life. I’m so glad you let me fuck you. I can’t believe I managed to wait so
long – we should have done this ages ago! I’m so relieved you came round.”
Kagome’s blush
had grown steadily worse. “Really…?”
“Well… aren’t
you?”
“Uh… yeah.”
Her eyes darted to the ground. “But… don’t you think that it was a very little
ordeal for so much hype about it?”
Inuyasha
blinked at her. “No.”
“Then… me
neither.” At least one of them had had some kind of epiphany last night… “So…
you don’t think that us being involved will ruin anything else…?”
“Why should
it? It isn’t anyone’s business what we do.” he shrugged.
Kagome frowned
slightly, unsure that what she was about to say would be out of line. “What
about Kikyo…? Surely it’s her business.”
Inuyasha
stared at her a moment, looking puzzled. Then suddenly he leaned forward and
kissed her firmly on the lips. Kagome sat there, stunned, patiently awaiting
the response to her question. After a moment, the kiss was broken and Inuyasha
playfully bumped his nose against hers. “You worry about too much.” He scolded,
before kissing her again.
I know I
do… but that isn’t answering my question!
For a moment,
Kagome had no intention of responding to his kiss. He’d annoyed her and she was
going to show him… but her brain had no say in the matter. Her body softened
instinctively to the hard pressure of his and before she knew it she was
reaching out to pull him closer and-
And suddenly
he had torn himself away.
Kagome
blinked, disorientated as she found herself embracing thin air. “Inuyasha,
what-”
“Yay! Kagome!”
A small ball of ginger trouble suddenly hurtled out of the bushes. “You’re
back!
“Shippo!”
Kagome cried happily, catching the child in her arms and swinging him up to eye
level. “I’m so happy to see you!”
“Kagome, you
missed all the snow!” Shippo wailed. “Me and Kirara had tons of fun building
stuff – we built snow people! We made one of you and Inuyasha!”
Kagome glanced
up at Inuyasha who was quietly steaming to himself a short distance away. She
tried to give him an apologetic smile, but he simply ‘keh’ed and turned away.
“Come on,”
Shippo jumped down. “I’ll show you!”
“Oh… ok!”
Kagome gestured for Inuyasha to follow as she picked up her bag and trotted
after the young fox demon willingly.
She turned to beckon Inuyasha… but found he had disappeared from sight.
For a moment,
Kagome was thrown. He’d been there only a moment ago… he must have just spun
and fled the moment her back was turned. Was he just annoyed at the
interruption?
Kagome sighed
and continued after Shippo.
Inuyasha would
find his own way to the village in good time…
……………….
Kikyo… her
scent was unmistakable.
Inuyasha had
stilled the moment the cool breeze had washed over him, bringing with it the
familiar stench of death, earth and human remains. It could only mean that the
undead miko was nearby… and was all but calling upon him.
The hanyou
spared the schoolgirl one torn look. She was cooing over the child, letting him
lead her back to the village… she would be safe there. And as much as he didn’t
like the thought of leaving her side so soon after consummating their
relationship, Inuyasha felt he had no choice.
Or perhaps he
felt that this opportunity presented itself so rarely that he couldn’t ignore
it?
He left
without a word to the other two and dashed off through the trees, following the
trail of the scent. It lead deeper into his forest, darker and more dangerous
than humans and some demons feared to tread.
His journey
was short, and it ended in a barren clearing so deep into the forest that no
light permeated the trees around him, save for the dappled ribbons from above
the canopy.
And there she
was. Leaning against the bough of a wizened old willow that leaned enormously
over a trickling stream behind her. Two soul catchers, the creatures resembling
ghostly insects, wound their long bodies around the branches above her and
lowered their heads down to receive tender strokes.
“Welcome
back.” She said impassively. “I’ve been hearing a lot of interesting things
from a little bird… or two…”
“Kikyou…”
