InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Engagement ❯ Complications ( Chapter 2 )

Another's Note: I did some revising! Yay! I hope it sounds better!

 

Well, I finally wrote the sequel to `The Engagement' so I hope you enjoy! And don't expect this to be updates frequently either, though I'll try to get an update at least 3 times a month.

 

Chapter 1 - Complications

 

Slowly, Kagome found herself being brought into the realm of the living, as something was lightly dragged down her tender sides. Swatting at the offender when it began to annoy her, she buried her face into her pillow, trying to salvage what was left of her dream realm. Her attempts were in vain, however, as she once again felt the light touches to her sides. Again she lashed blindly out at the offender as she opened her eyes.

 

She was happy to see that her drapes had been pulled tightly shut and that only the edges allowed light to filter into her room, giving the atmosphere a surreal look. Flicking her eyes across the neon green light of her clock, she easily read the time, 7:03 am. With a groan, she snuggled into her pillow again while muttering about how it should be illegal to be awake at such an early hour.

 

“You realize, that no matter how hard you try, sleep is not one of the options I'm giving you at the moment.”

 

Kagome's eyes shot open. `He wouldn't still be here, would he?'

 

“I will not leave after last night. Not you at least.” He reassured Kagome, easily picking up her thoughts. It wouldn't do for her to get it in her mind that she was nothing but a sex toy. Allowing a comfortable silence to stretch between them, his eyes roamed her body, memorizing every detail. He noticed that she bore several large scars and that her body in general was evenly toned. He recognized her fitness to be something that could only be gained by physical labor and it made him curious about what she was doing when she wasn't at the shrine.

 

When he'd finished his inspection, he focused on her eyes. “Tell me, where do you go when you're not at the shrine?” Feeling her tense beside him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

 

Kagome's mouth felt dry as she went to answer him. She knew she couldn't lie to him, but she also knew that she couldn't tell him the full truth either. “I hang out with my friends. You know? Girl stuff. That's all.” Before she could comprehended what was happening, she was on her back and her arms where being pinned painful on in front of her. “You're hurting me,” she told him through clenched teeth.

 

Grunting, he brushed her complaint aside. “The whole truth Kagome.” To empathize his point, he put more pressure on her hands.

 

“That is that the truth!”

 

His Jagan glowed for a second behind its ward. “Now you're lying to me.” Adding more pressure, he felt his claws tear her skin a bit but, at the moment, he didn't care. “You know how I feel about liars, woman!”

 

“Alright.” She looked away from him. “I'll tell you everything.” When she felt the pressure on her arms disappear and his weight slide off her, she rolled away from him, cradling her sore arms. Giving her self a minute to wipe her eyes of unshed tears, Kagome began. “You know the well on the property?” Glancing over her shoulder, she saw him nod. “Well, there's a portal that leads 500 years into the past and for about the last year, I've been traveling back and forth.”

 

“Why?”

 

She sighed. “Something was ripped from my body.” She ran her finger over the scar on her left side. “I was supposed to protect it and I kinda shattered it. Now, it's my job to collect the pieces and put everything back together.”

 

“What is it?”

 

This is where she hesitated.

 

“Tell me.”

 

“The Jewel of Four Souls.” Her voice was nothing but a whisper, but she could tell by his silence that he had heard her. Not liking the silence she continued to talk. “A now that the concealment spell is gone that leaves me with several problems. If Inuyasha can tell the difference in me, which I know he will, I'm afraid of what his reaction will be. He always thinks of me a worthless, weak human but I know he doesn't truly think that.”

 

“The Jewel of Four Souls?” He pulled Kagome to him, forcing her to look at him. “You won't be going back, not without decent protection.”

 

“What! Hiei you can't do that! The others are expecting me back!” Glaring at him, she tried to struggle out of his grip.

 

“Who are these `others'?” Allowing her to move away from him, he waited for an explanation.

 

“Why should I tell you? After all, you're being an ass!” Getting off the bed, she went to her bureau and threw several different pieces of clothing onto her desk before starting to get dress. “I'm not telling you anything else Hiei! Not if you're telling me I can't go back!”

 

“Who are the others and I may consider allowing you to go back. And who's this `Inuyasha'?” Hiei also was off the bed and getting into his own clothes. He watched as she finished dressing and made her way to the bedroom door. He caught her arm as she passed but was forced to release her as his flash began to burn. He winced at the loud noise that the door made as Kagome left the room. A few minutes later, he heard the front door slam shut and from her window, he watched her head down the shrine steps and towards town.

 

Turning his attention to his burnt hand, a smirk graced his lips. His hand was black and the skin was blistered and split in some areas. It would take him a good day to heal, but he didn't mind. He was glad that he'd taken up her father's proposal. Daisuke had been right when he had told him his daughter was going to be strong.
