Crossover Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Entrap Me ❯ Two: Christmas Time Bliss ( Chapter 2 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

A/n: Okay everyone, here’s the second installment of Entrap Me. I am aware it is very late for a Christmas one-shot, but it’s a late Christmas present, so what can I say? Sorry. Hope you all enjoy it! Wasn’t to sure about the title, but oh well---My mind is kind of blank on titles for now.

NOTE FOR LAST INSTALLMENT---I made a mistake when putting down Higure Ichido I wasn’t sure whether or not the shrine was a temple, a shrine is a holy place of Shinto faith and a temple is a holy place of buddhist faith. So it really should’ve been more along the lines of Higure jinja. I think... Not so sure, because I don’t remember the series going into detail about it...I will of course be changing it, when I get around to it.

*Christmas Time Bliss*
By: Kage Otome


He couldn’t help the flare of bitterness that flowed through him. Why should he try and hide it? He was never one to hide his feelings, he expressed them vividly. Why should this emotion be any different? Growling softly he ran his hand through his now loose hair free of it’s constricting prison of gel. His warm, chocolate brown eyes flashed in annoyance. He’d never had a Christmas tree with presents littering the ground beneath it or a Christmas tree for that matter. He never sat before a warm fire on a cold Christmas night, drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread men. So what if he never had a normal Christmas? It wasn’t like he cared. Right?

One thing was certain though he was glad, for once that Koenma called him in for a mission. Hopefully he’d get to kill something, at least it’d take his mind away from Christmas. Who needed it anyway? Certainly not him. After all Christmas was just a stupid holiday which gave people excuses to blow money on not only other people but themselves. Not to mention it was the worst time of year in his opinion.

‘Tch. I hate Christmas.’

-------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I’m sorry for calling you in on--”

“Get on with it Toddler.” Yusuke spoke cutting Koenma off.

His bad mood was contagious.

Koenma glared heatedly at Yusuke, the only one of his team present after all hopefully this mission wouldn’t take more then just one of his detectives. He really didn’t want to disturb the others that actually had something to do on Christmas. A small part of Koenma couldn’t help but feel bad that his detective was alone on Christmas. It was very hard being lonely--he knew. While ogres, SDF, Ferry girls, spirits and other beings would daily enter his office, it wasn’t like any of them really knew him. A part of Koenma longed for a friend---someone to talk to and laugh with. But he was a demigod. And he didn’t have time for friends.

“There have been reports of demons attacking Higure Jinja (Sunset Shrine). They have been attacking the owners, looking for something, what I have no idea. Your job is to find out what they’re looking for and if any demons show up, either bring them to Reikai for sentencing or if you can’t kill them.”

Yusuke nodded.

“It’s a simple mission, you should have no problems.”

Right...

------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

This was not just a simple mission with no problems.

Yusuke growled as he held the ice pack to his face. Whatever he was expecting when he got to the shrine; diluted priests, no demons, a little kid, people taking tours, sure. But what he got---shocked didn’t even begin to cover it. In fact he was so shocked, it took a punch right in the face to ‘wake’ him from his stupor. When he arrived a girl around his age was in the middle of a fight with a very ugly demon. He couldn’t decide whether it was a cross of horse and snake or goat and rat. What a disgusting thing it was, spitting up green acidic poison. He would’ve interfered had it not been for the glow the young girl emitted. The attack, she called, “Hama no Reiryoku” blasted the demon, disintegrating it.

He stood shocked, the hairs on the back of his neck were standing up. He’d never felt such pure energy, at least not at such a large amount. It felt similar to Sensui but a part of him knew that there were differences. He’d been dazed so Kagome, being the wary miko that she was decided to give him a ‘test’ to see if he was an attacking demon after the Shikon. She punched him. Much to her surprise there was no countering attack, she at least expected him to---well---block. She watched him clutch at his bloody nose, swearing up a storm. She winced before apologizing.

“I’m sorry, I thought you might’ve been another attacking demon.”

He glared.

This was just not his day.

------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------

“So you’re here because ‘Koenma’ told you to find out why demons were attacking my shrine?”

He nodded.

“I’m---ah---sorry for your nose...” Kagome muttered, wincing slightly.

She honestly didn’t mean to break it.

It was quite obvious he didn’t believe her. Kagome steamed....How many times did she have to apologize for him to just accept the fact that she never meant to break his nose? Sure she did purposely hit him, but she didn’t know he was an ‘ally’ so to speak. Hmph. So he wanted to be stubborn did he, well she’d---Wait...where’d he go?

Rushing out of the house she briefly caught a glimpse of green before darting out after him, shivering to herself she cursed herself for not bringing a coat. He had made it to the park before she caught up to him. He sat there, he just sat there, having discarded the ice-pack long ago, his nose stopped bleeding. Kagome stood nearby awkwardly, she didn’t know what to do.

Yusuke meanwhile was thinking about what he saw while there, at the shrine. He honestly wished he hadn’t gone, the home was full of cheer and the scent of cookies offered a homey feeling. Something he’d never had. It was really a depressing thought. He knew it was quite childish to leave while she had been lost in her thoughts, but seeing such a happy family, it made him---it made him want. It made him wish for something he didn’t have.

“Yusuke...?”

“Go away.” His voice was harsh.

Kagome made her way and sat next to him. Glancing at him, she caught bitter brown eyes before they turned towards the ground. Laying a hand gently on his forearm she tilted his head toward her with her other hand before pressing a chaste kiss against his lips. Startled Yusuke jerked away.

“You don’t have to be lonely Yusuke.” Her voice was soft and understanding.

“Who says I’m lonely?”

“It’s in your eyes...” Kagome whispered, bringing a hand down across his cheek.

“I don’t know your story Yusuke, but I do know no one deserves to suffer as you do...”

“Keh.”

“Don’t turn away from me Yusuke, we all suffer in one way or another, and we all feel as if sometimes it’d just be easier to give up. But we survive it, and we grow stronger. Sure, not all people do, I did, and I’m sure you did. With Keiko...”

His head whipped toward her so fast she was surprised he didn’t get whiplash.

“How do you know Keiko...?”

“She’s dating Hojo, a boy from my school.” Kagome spoke softly, she’d heard the rumors. She normally didn’t believe them, but the pain was so raw in his eyes it was hard not to. It reminded her so much of herself and Inuyasha---the pain of unrequited love.

“Listen your not the only one who’s had his heart broken---”Kagome continued on firmly, “I may not know you Yusuke, but I do know that you have to survive, after all, what would happen to these people if you didn’t? Self pity only brings you down.”

He glanced up at her.

Growing annoyed she stood up, and jerked him up as well. Pulling him down to her level she pushed her lips against his, drawing a startled gasp, the kiss was fierce and left no room for thoughts. His hands fell to her hips almost instinctively as he was drawn into it, it actually felt...nice...They pulled away panting and flushed.

“Come with me Yusuke...”

“Why, Why do you care?”

“Because I do.”

------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------

It had taken them two years to finally trust each other enough to tell the other their ‘life stories’. In the end, they had turned out to be the best of friends---and lovers. In the end, he didn’t regret anything, she was so...so...He sighed, he couldn’t think of a word to describe her. She was fiery and calm, sarcastic and witty, funny and hard headed, determined and smart, beautiful and wise...And the best part of all, she was all his. She taught him to let go, to learn from his mistakes, to move on---like she had.

Lord did he love her...

Slender arms snaked around his waist as she rested her head against his broad shoulder, molding her body against his. He couldn’t stop the smile that broke across his face, even if he wanted to. Turning he pulled her under his arm to his side brushing a kiss against her forehead. Tilting her head up she met him half way for a soft, sweet kiss.

“Merry Christmas, love.”

Kagome beamed up at him, her beautiful blue eyes sparkling.

“Merry Christmas, darling.”

The snow fell around the two as he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, they kissed tenderly, at that moment, nothing else mattered. In that moment no one else existed but the two of them. Breaking the kiss Yusuke smiled down at his mate, nothing but love on his handsome features. Kagome grinned back up at him, they’d survive, whatever the world threw at them--after all they had each other.

Holding her close to him Yusuke Urameshi couldn’t think of a place he’d rather be...

I love Christmas...

A/ n: Okay...well, it wasn’t the best but I was having a bit of a hard time with this. I hope you enjoyed it. I’ll come back and revise it. But overall i’m happy with it. And my last one. Feel free to review. BTW: About the whole Kagome taking charge and kissing him first, well I wanted to see it done in a different view, it’s normally Yusuke that takes the first kiss so...Oh well...Yes it is kind of OOC but anything to break him out of his stupor ne?
