“ Mama I’m not so
sure about this…” Kikyou sighed and glanced at her mother. Next to her Kagome
rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair, preparing to watch her mother and
sister go at it again.
“ Kikyou you’ve
never had any trouble at this school district. Every year you attend with
demons and nothing bad comes of it, why are you trying so hard to get out
of it?” Kagome bit her tongue, knowing she full well couldn’t get in the middle
of this one even though she knew the answer to this one. It was always the
same…
“ Because they’re
all disgusting you know that! Besides there is this one hanyou that just
keeps…”
--
“ You know I noticed
you happen to be swearing a lot more than usual…” Kagome grumbled as she leaned
over Inuyasha’s desk, examining the math problem that currently had him
stumped. ‘ Man this is not exactly what I pictured when I thought of
wandering the outside world.’ She sighed and rubbed her fingers to her
temples, wishing she could have twitched like her sprite used to.
“ It’s been a damn
fucking hard week. Leave me alone!” Inuyasha snapped and Kagome just rolled her
eyes. A hard week indeed… if he weren’t snapping at her to leave him alone, he
wouldn’t leave her alone. He was rather surprised when his mother didn’t
ask too many questions about the new robot. She thought it was kind of
his older brother to finally start to show that he cared. And all Inuyasha
could do to reply to that was ‘keh!’
“ Fine, fine you do it
yourself.” She grumbled again and stalked away from him. Inuyasha winced and
reached out to grab her wrist but Kagome already knew this routine. She
turned and glared at him sharply, pointing a finger at him. “ Don’t even think
about it. You do it yourself if you’re going to snap at me got it?” And she
turned and stormed right out of the room. Inuyasha sighed and felt his ears
droop down slightly as he turned back to his math book.
He wasn’t quite sure
what was wrong with him actually. Having Kagome so physically close set
him off, but not in a bad way, or maybe it was in a way. He had to keep
reminding himself that her body wasn’t real, despite the heat it let off. That
wanting to hold her for some reason—whatever reason—was wrong to both
her and Kikyou. Kagome seemed to notice after that day on his bed, he refrained
from touching her, but she never said anything about it.
They were always
fighting, doing homework, or not even being in the same room by the time this
week’s end had come about. His family didn’t seem to mind Kagome hanging around
them too much. He hadn’t mentioned to Sango or Miroku that his new robot used
to be the AI in his computer—though he was quite sure Sango had figured it out.
Which meant Miroku probably knew about it too. Kagome and Sango seemed to spend
a lot of time talking with each other. She rather liked his new personal
companion, and after one particular nasty fight, he almost considered
handing her over to his sister, but for some reason it felt like betrayal to
him.
Sighing roughly,
Inuyasha dropped his head down on top of his math book. ‘ She’s upset with
me, I just know it… man this means I’m going to have to apologize doesn’t
it?’ Inuyasha groaned and forced his ears to his skull. He hated doing
that… especially with Kagome. She always got this weird look in her eyes, like she
wanted to cry, but never did. But the look alone pretty much did him in. That
and the look she had adopted when she looked at him the last few days. She was hiding
something from him… but he couldn’t figure out what.
~-*-~
“ I take it my
brother’s being a complete ass again huh?” Sango mumbled over her sandwich as
Kagome stormed into the kitchen, looking like she was ready to tear something
apart, or someone anyways. Sighing, Kagome flopped into the chair next
to Sango and just shook her head.
“ Of course. I mean if
he’s not avoiding me completely, he’s having me help him with his homework or
snapping my head off. How do you put up with this day in and day out?”
Kagome snarled and crossed her arms over her chest, closing her eyes to try and
block out any mental image she might have of ripping off Inuyasha’s ears. While
that image faded, she still could still see him in the mind’s eye. ‘ Everywhere…
that baka dog-boy.’
“ I think it’s gotta do
with Kikyou. The entire week you were gone, he tried to call her but could
never hold up even when she picked up the phone.” Kagome frowned a little at
the mention of Kikyou. As far as she could tell from what little information
she could gather about this girl, Kikyou was the one who created her. Sango had
shown her images of Kikyou and Inuyasha together in high school before Kikyou
had moved. They had looked so happy together… but that couldn’t be right could
it? Kikyou always said she hated…
‘ Kami I am not
jealous.’ That really didn’t convince herself, so she tried again. ‘ I
am not jealous of the utter beauty who holds the heart of the arrogant,
crude, selfish, rude, handsome, god-like hanyou—shit!’ Kagome groaned and
let her head fall onto the table as Sango giggled lightly at her. The girl was
smart; Kagome hadn’t even been around for two whole days before Sango had
figured out that she was the AI that had ‘possessed’ Inuyasha’s computer.
“ Yeah that’s generally
the reaction he gets out of everyone.” Kagome picked a look at Sango over her
arms that were flailed out in front of her on the table, noticing that Sango
was giving her a rather soft look in her eyes. Lifting her head a little,
Kagome blinked at Sango. ‘ I know that look…’
“ You really are a
rather special AI aren’t you?” Kagome laughed slightly and rolled her shoulders
a little with a shrug.
“ I guess.” Sango
frowned a little at the cut short answer. Shifting in her seat a little, Sango
popped the last of her sandwich into her mouth and put her hand on Kagome’s
shoulder.
“ You still having
those… dreams?” Kagome flinched and let her head fall back to the table
with a snort. Three days into being back home with Inuyasha, every time
she went into her suspended animation mode, she ‘dreamed’. At least that was
the best way to explain what she thought was happening. And now it
happened whenever she dazed off too. Truthfully, she had no idea what it was.
Damage from Hakudoushi, the amount of stress put on her emotion stimulator, or
maybe it was just the new body. Hell it could be all of thee above for all she
knew.
“ I… they don’t just
feel like dreams. More like… memories. I can remember how things tasted,
or how specific things felt against my skin. Things I know I haven’t felt
before, much less even done in my short lifespan so far. I think… Hakudoushi infected
me with something.” Sango frowned a little more, and moved her hand from
Kagome’s shoulder to rub her back.
“ If he did… do you
think you’re in danger?” Kagome closed her eyes and shrugged against the table.
She had no idea how to answer that. She couldn’t, she didn’t even know what was
wrong with her. Part of her was starting to wonder when Hakudoushi sliced her
up, if he didn’t try to implant her with something…memories or data that
perhaps was supposed to drive her somewhere if she got away. But so far she
didn’t see much of anything—except Kikyou and Inuyasha, through ‘her’
eyes. Of course, she didn’t tell Sango what the dreams were about. For
some reason she didn’t want to know if they might be real.

“ Man I don’t see why
we get stuck playing ‘tag’.” Bankotsu grumbled as he and Jakotsu trekked
through the forest just on the outside of Tokyo. Rumors had been flying around
the last few days from humans that they had spotted a rather large horse
that appeared to be on fire stalking the mountains. Sesshoumaru insisted that
they go out immeditatlly and find the youkai horse before he did any permanent
damage to someone.
“ Because we are the
most trusted and loyal men to Sesshoumaru…after that little toad imp guy that
is.” Jakotsu giggled before scratching his nose. “ But he’s not human so… yeah
we’re the most trusted and loyal men.” Bankotsu chuckled as he kneeled
down to inspect a huge hoof print embedded in the ground. ‘ Yup he’s been
this way alright.’
“ Yes but that’s my
point. Men. We can’t take on such a large youkai horse and expect to
live to tell about it. They say he’s faster than the eye can see, even maybe
for Sesshoumaru. To make matters worse, he’s really strong on top of it. We
can’t expect to catch him!” Bankotsu whined and shoved himself to his feet.
Entei hadn’t gone far by the looks of it. Instead of replying, Jakotsu took the
lead, following the tracks on the ground through the dense—and slightly
burned—underbrush.
They were right, not
long after they found the prints in the ground; they came upon a very small
clearing. Flowers covered the entire area; a small stream trickled through the
entire middle of the meadow. It almost looked like a small piece of heaven, had
it not been for the sleeping youkai horse at the far end of it.
Before they could even
step any closer, Entei’s ears jumped to attention and the horse lifted his
head. Both men gulped as the youkai stood, regarding them with such fierce red
eyes, it was no wonder the horse was on fire. Entei moved to walk towards them,
before suddenly disappearing from sight all together. Bankotsu felt his jaw
drop as Jakotsu let out a squeak and practically threw himself behind Bankotsu.
“ Where’d he go? Eek!”
Jakotsu had spotted him before Bankotsu did. Moments later Entei stood face to
face with Bankotsu, snorting so hard in his face that his braid whipped around
his back. Gulping deeply, Bankotsu slowly leaned back to elbow Jakotsu to speak
to the youkai who appeared very pissed about his nap being interrupted.
“ Entei… we bring word
of—of your master.”

“ Sister you don’t
find him cute in the least? Really?” Kagome shifted her position next her
sister, who simply looked down at her as though she were suddenly disgusted by
something.
“ Don’t be silly
Kaggie, he’s a half demon.” Kikyou chided gently as though she was telling her
something she didn’t already know.
“ I know that! But
look at his ears, they’re just so adorable!” Kikyou sighed and tugged her
sister’s hand to get her to stop in her tracks, kneeling before her she let her
fingers run through Kagome’s hair.
“ Kaggie you are to never
speak to him. You understand me? He’s dangerous.” Kagome frowned at her sister
a little. She was only two years younger than Kikyou; it wasn’t like she was stupid
or something.
“ Just because he’s
a hanyou that makes him dangerous? Don’t be silly yourself Kikyou…”
--
“ Wench are you even listening
to me?” Kagome snapped out of her daze to look up that the hanyou hovering over
her. Kagome gave him a weak smile before shaking her head a little. Inuyasha
looked like he had to hold back a sudden burst of outrage over the simple fact
she wasn’t paying any attention to him. Putting the book down on the
desk next to his bed that she had been pretending to read while he did his
homework, Kagome shot him a straightforward look.
“ What is it Inuyasha?”
He opened his mouth to say something, before instantly snapped it shut and
flopped down on the bed beside her. He sighed and leaned his head back against
the headboard with his eyes closed.
“ What’s bugging you
wench? You haven’t even called me dog-boy today.” Kagome blinked at him and
then frowned, leaning her own head back against the headboard. “ Don’t even
think about telling me it’s nothing. I know you better than that, even if
I’ve only known you for a short time.” Kagome couldn’t help but snort and
giggle at that.
“ Please we’ve spent
more time together than most people spend in entire relationships. Not like we
exactly get a choice about that but… still.” She shook her head and
tilted her head so she could watch him. Kagome nearly fell over at the odd look
on his face.
“ We get a choice, it’s
just easier to say we don’t.” Inuyasha mumbled and pushed himself off the bed.
Kagome frowned a little before crossing her arms over her chest and turned her
head to stare out the window.
“ You get a
choice Inuyasha. For me… it’s always been you, programmed right down into my
core.” Kagome flinched, realizing just how that sounded and glanced at
him. As she predicted he was standing with his back to her, stiff as a board.
She couldn’t see his ears, as his head seemed to be hanging. After a moment,
Kagome shook her head and stood up.
“ But, I must say, I
don’t think there are many who could put up with me, much less keep up
with me.” Kagome smirked slightly as Inuyasha let out a growl and turned to
face her. She smiled brightly at him and grabbed his hand, dragging him back
down onto the bed next to her. “ I don’t mind being with you Inuyasha.”
She hoped she stressed the word right so he’d get the hidden meaning. He just
grumbled and crossed his arms. ‘ Dense baka!’
“ Then why did you
just—?” Kagome growled herself and flicked him in the nose. He stared at her in
disbelief before she started to laugh, shaking her head a little.
“ Just because I said I
didn’t get a choice, doesn’t mean that I would change it.” She
shifted so her back was up against the backboard again, simply watching
Inuyasha slouch forward slightly. ‘ Maybe this whole thing with Kikyou
really is starting to drag him down…’ “ Inuyasha don’t worry about me. I’m
still kinda repairing things from Hakudoushi.”
It wasn’t a lie really;
Hakudoushi had really screwed her up. Despite that though, she knew she
wasn’t fooling him, especially by the look on his face. But he’d let her off
for now, for a day or so… she could think of a better excuse until then.
--
“ He’ll never notice
you… you know that right? Not with his eyes set on Kikyou.” Yuka whispered into
her ear. Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes, shooting a glare at the girl before
turning her attention back to the inu eared boy staring at her sister on the
other side of the field.
“ Maybe not. But he
did help me out that one day… in the storm. Just cause he doesn’t remember…”
Eri giggled behind her and reached out to pinch Kagome on the neck. “ Ow!”
“ Girl you were half
delirious with fever from walking in the rain. You probably imagined him…since
he obviously doesn’t remember his ‘heroic’ day.” Kagome grumbled and crossed
her arms over her chest before rolling her eyes.
“ Whatever.”
--
Kagome groaned softly
as she pushed herself up off the wall. ‘ No such thing as a good nights sleep.’
Kagome sighed and pushed herself to stand up. The first thing she noticed was,
it was rather late at night—maybe two am. Second thing was, Inuyasha wasn’t in
bed. ‘ Huh, how odd.’ Kagome glanced around the room, she spotted that
his bedroom door was cracked open slightly.
Kagome had only made it
half way down the stairs, silently thankful for the night vision she apparently
had, when she heard Inuyasha’s hushed voice coming from the kitchen. Blinking,
she slinked along the wall slowly, trying to ensure that his enhanced hearing
didn’t pick up on her.
“… No it’s fine. I’m
sorry…” Kagome nearly fell over right there. For Inuyasha to say ‘sorry’ so easily
and naturally, maybe he himself was half asleep. “ Sango did it actually, I let
her borrow my computer…” Kagome suddenly felt like she was listening in on
something she shouldn’t be.
“ Kikyou seriously I’d
never do that… well of course I’ve got her. Well you did send her to me for a
reason.” He hissed out the last part as though it was some big secret. ‘ Why
am I not surprised? So… Kikyou huh?’ Nibbling on her bottom lip, Kagome
tried to inch her way back up the stairs, but found her body wouldn’t move.
“ Attached? Kikyou did
you hit your head on something? That’s just wrong on so many levels!” He
snapped and Kagome found for the first time, it didn’t really hurt. She had
heard him say it so many times now in several different ways, and his distance
from her lately made it seem… bearable? Or maybe it was the memories
that had started to fill her head—the ones of her watching Inuyasha doing what
he did best, drooling over Kikyou. Sighing softly, she forgot she was supposed
to be quiet. “ Kikyou… hang on sec.” ‘ Oops… ugh I can do this. Besides I did
promise him… didn’t I?’
“ Inu what are you
doing up this late?” Kagome quickly rounded the corner into the kitchen before
he could spot her and accuse her of listening in. ‘ I caught him off guard
good.’ Inuyasha couldn’t seem to get his voice to work as he gapped like a
fish. Instead of trying to get him to open up to her like she might have done
before, she just continued on past him and towards the back door in the
kitchen.
“ Where are you
going?” Inuyasha growled out, forgetting at the moment he actually had
Kikyou on hold. Kagome glanced at him over her shoulder and he suddenly felt
very cold. ‘ What’s up with her?’ She shrugged and kept up towards the
back door.
“ Just out in the back.
The stars are pretty tonight and since I don’t feel the cold…” She simply let
her sentence trail off as she scurried out the back door before he could ask
any more questions. Inuyasha felt his ears droop once again for what felt like
the millionth time that day… mostly because of her. Flinching slightly,
Inuyasha reached for the phone.
“ Inuyasha… was that
her?” Sighing roughly, he leaned up against the wall and let his eyes lock on
the door before him.
“ Yeah. Listen I should
go… I have school.” Kikyou was silent for a moment, and he briefly wondered if
she had even heard him.
“ Right, I’m sorry.
Take care of yourself okay? Be careful.” She didn’t give him a chance to say
anything else. The resounding click on the other end confirmed what he thought
all along… even if he wasn’t the one who loaded up the disc; Kikyou had
put him in the doghouse.
--
“ I miss you.” He frowned slightly as he cut her rant
off. Kagome turned towards him slightly before shaking her head. Approaching
him slowly, she kneeled down in front of him, to look up at his eyes. Her eyes
held sadness in them he couldn't seem to understand, but they also held
determination.
“ I'll bring Kikyou back to you. I promise.” She
reached up and let her hand rest on his cheek so softly, as though he himself
might disappear if she applied too much pressure. Inuyasha furrowed his brow as
he stared at her. She smiled slightly at him.
“ No longer will you
have forbidden dreams of the one you love. It's the least I can do for you… as
I cannot do anything of real value for you.”
--
Kagome sighed and shook
her head, letting her head fall from the stars to stare at the grass before
her. ‘ Why’d I have to go and make such a promise? How the hell am I going
to get Kikyou back to him?’
