~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

For some strange reason Inuyasha was inside his closet looking through a small gap in the sliding door. He was lying on his back on the closet floor clothed only in his boxers. It was uncomfortable since Koga's smelly shoes were in there as well. He threw a few shoes out of the way and cursed. Soon he had a clear section of the closet to lie down on. He looked out the closet again, he was waiting for something. He knew something was supposed to happen.

 

Soon he saw his human form, `Ash' pull Kagome into his bedroom.

 

`Now this is completely impossible,' he thought. `I can't be in two places at once.' Soon the realization that this was a dream hit him. However, that it was simply a dream didn't bother him, he was anticipating something and he wanted whatever he was waiting for. He continued to peer through the gap to notice `Ash' peeling off Kagome's clothes. He had taken off her spaghetti string top and then slid her tight miniskirt down her legs. She stepped out of the miniskirt and he savored the sight. A black lace bra cupped her breasts and a black thong panty separated her butt cheeks in a thin black line. He watched in fascination as `Ash' kissed and licked at her breasts through her lace bra and then rubbed his other hand against her crotch.

 

“You're so wet,” Ash said as his finger rubbed back and forth across the thin crotch of her thong panty.

 

“Oh Ash,” she moaned.

 

Then Ash looked into the closet and made eye contact with his alter self. Ash nodded to Inuyasha. This entire show was for Inuyasha's benefit and Inuyasha was going to take full advantage of the situation. He took down his boxer shorts until they were pooled around one leg. Inuyasha moved one hand up and down his hardening length.

 

`Damn bitch,' he thought. `She's supposed to be fucking me. Not him.' His anger just got him harder. His gut clenched in desire.

 

Ash's shirt was off now and Kagome was running her tongue down his chest. Then she stopped at his jeans. She fumbled with a button and then pulled down a zipper. Ash stepped out of his jeans and looked at Kagome like a predator sees his prey. He stood there in front of her in black boxer shorts. Kagome made short work of moving her hands into his waistband and then pulling down his shorts with a jerk. Ash's shaft sprung out once it was freed from its confines.

 

Ash drew Kagome next to him, his hardened cock up against her flat stomach as he peeled her bra and thong panty off of her body.

 

Inuyasha gasped as he saw her creamy skin. There she was, her rounded ass, her pert breasts with hardened brown-pink nipples, a rosy blush that cascaded from her face down to her chest and long thick raven tresses that cascaded down her back. He licked his lips as he saw Ash move to suckle at one breast before moving to the other one. He wanted to be the one there, the one licking her, the one touching her.

 

He saw Ash move her over to his bed. Her back was pressing against his chest as he used his knees to spread her legs.

 

Looking at her naked rear end splayed out against his bed, ready for entrance spurred on Inuyasha's strokes. He started to make rasping noises in the closet, he hoped that they couldn't hear him over their own moans.

 

Inuyasha watched as Ash lined himself up behind Kagome, his hardness pointing to the gap between her legs that he wanted to enter. Ash's hand fondled her wetness for a few more moments before he put a hand on the side of her ass and then used another hand to bend her forward and onto the bed. She now stood there, spread eagled, her ass facing him. With one swift thrust Ash slammed into her body. One hand was on her firm ass and another was rubbing her nub. She whimpered first and then moaned in pleasure.

 

“Who's your man?” asked Ash.

 

“You!” said Kagome in gasps.

 

“Say my name,” said Ash as he pulled out of her. Kagome's thighs quivered at the loss and she started to stroke herself. Ash shoved her hand out of the way and moved the tip of his cock at her entrance again, rubbing against her wetness.

 

“Ash!” she gasped.

 

Ash slammed into her again, moving in and out of her. She moaned again, gritting her teeth.

 

Inuyasha stayed in the closet. His anger was overflowing, but it just made him want to stroke himself quicker. He griped his fingers up and down his shaft. Stroking faster in his anger.

 

“Who is the only man you'll ever fuck?” Ash demanded as he pulled out momentarily.

 

Kagome gasped again. “Ash, only you,” she barely managed to utter as her hand snaked back to grip his ass closer to hers.

 

“And Inuyasha?” Ash demanded as he rubbed his cock against her wet entrance again, teasing her.

 

“I only want you!” she gasped.

 

Ash turned to look directly at the closet. He smirked at Inuyasha as he shoved his hard cock into her again.

 

“Only me baby, only me,” he demanded as he held her ass, rubbed her nub and moved inside of her again.

 

“Goddamned prick,” said Inuyasha as he stroked himself harder. He felt the pressure building. The feeling of his balls clenching, ready to release, the dam was ready to burst.

 

Kagome's moans became louder, her eyes were closed and her moans soon became screams.

 

“Ash!” she screamed as she released and her legs quivered.

 

Inuyasha let the feeling go as he stroked. The buildup of pressure burst out of him, warm cum spurt out falling over his hands, abdomen and the carpet in the closet.

 

Ash pulled back to drive into her harder and harder until he also cried out, “Kagome!” He fell against her back, falling against his bed, while standing. Ash kissed Kagome's back before reaching around to kiss her lips.

 

“Goddamn Ash. Goddamn Kagome,” moaned Inuyasha as he laid there in his closet alone, while two lovers cradled each other blissfully on his own bed.

 

Soon his closet floor morphed into his bed and Koga's assorted shoes became the bunched up covers of his bed. His body was sweaty and cum was on him and his twisted sheets. He dully took in the room and noted that there was filtered daylight shining into his room past the curtains. Koga was lying on his own bed across the room, passed out to the world—wet drool all over his pillow.

 

“Kagome,” was all he said while staring at his ceiling.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Inuyasha moved down the sparsely decorated concrete hallway. There were a few posters on the walls of various UCLA teams. The entire area stunk of dirty gym socks, sweat, steam and the cool, stony smell of concrete. He paused in front of a door that was labeled, “Coach Myoga”. Inuyasha rapped against the door. “Oi!” he called out.

 

A voice inside answered. “Come on in…”

 

Inuyasha paused and pulled the door open. He didn't even make eye contact with Coach Myoga who was going through paperwork on his steel desk. He then closed the door behind him before making his way to sit on an old beat up chair that sat before the Coach's desk.

 

Myoga looked up once Inuyasha sat down. The coach's eyes beamed with happiness. “Well, well my boy. How can I help one of my favorite players?”

 

“Uh, that's just it,” mumbled Inuyasha as he looked at his lap before he met Myoga eye to eye. “I need to talk to you about this spying business.”

 

“Oh,” said Myoga as he leaned back. His smile quickly faded and was replaced with a look of coolness. “What about the spying?”

 

“Look, Coach. I can't keep on spying on USC,” said Inuyasha in frustration as he folded his arms out in front of him.

 

“Why?” asked Myoga with a surprised look on his face. “I thought you relished this job.”

 

“Sesshomaru relished it, Myoga,” spat out Inuyasha. “It was his idea. Not mine. I don't want any part of it.”

 

Myoga sat back against his desk. “It's only for two more months Inuyasha.” Inuyasha scowled at him and then Myoga sat back up. The coach's small form looking taller than it normally would with his high-rise chair.

 

Inuyasha stopped looking at Myoga and then looked out a small window that looked over the track that was outside. “You don't understand. I can't. I can't do this anymore. I need to stop now. Now Myoga,” Inuyasha clenched the arms of his chair and his demon claws punctured the seat.

 

“Whoah, whoah, boy. Settle down. Keep that demonic temper of yours in check. Do you know how much that ring is worth?”

 

Inuyasha stopped clenching the chairs armrests and then picked up the silver ring that was dangling on a chain around his neck. “No,” said Inuyasha as if he was a spoiled child that had just been denied something.

 

“It's a rare artifact, worth thousands of dollars. Totosai did us an immense favor by letting us have it. And he's expecting us to get the extra information so that he can bet on us for the final game. You owe him.”

 

Inuyasha let the chain drop back into his shirt. “I don't owe him anything. This was your idea and Sesshomaru's. I can't do this anymore.”

 

Myoga's lips pursed in thought. “Why are you so adamant about not doing this anymore, Inuyasha?” asked Myoga. He looked down at Inuyasha who was avoiding any eye contact, had an immense scowl on his face and still had his hands folded over his chest. Myoga paused long enough to wait for an answer. When he saw that none was forthcoming, he stood up and walked over to Inuyasha to grip him on his shoulders.

 

“Inuyasha my boy, you know that I'm counting on you, the team is counting on you, UCLA is counting on you,” Myoga paused and looked at Inuyasha square in the eye. “I didn't want to say this boy, but you could lose a position on this team if you can't follow through with this simple task. It's only for two more months.”

 

Myoga's steely gray eyes stared at Inuyasha. “Remember Inuyasha. I am the one who went up against the school board and pleaded your case. I'm the one who asked them to let you on the team. You owe me.”

 

Myoga stood up from his chair and started to pace. His arms were folded on his back in concentration. “Do you remember what it was like before you were on this team? You wanted to prove yourself so badly. You wanted to prove that you were just as good as your brother. And no one would give you the time of day. The students harassed you and the board wouldn't let you on the team. But I went to bat for you boy.” Myoga paused. “And now I expect you to go to bat for me as well. Don't let me down.”

 

Inuyasha nodded dully and then walked out of Myoga's office his head bent low with his silver bangs covering his eyes.

 

Coach Myoga could only pause and wonder why the cocky hanyou was suddenly pensive and full of regret.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Inuyasha was actually trying not to enjoy himself. He knew that watching the Holy Shikon team during their workouts was wrong, but the view was wonderful. He was sitting on the bleachers in his usual spot, close by the tracks. His eyes were following a certain raven-haired miko who was jogging around the field. Today he noticed she was only wearing a black sports bra and burgundy colored nylon shorts with yellow strips down the sides. He had never seen her midriff so clearly before. Today her body was shimmering with glistening sweat, which allowed him to appreciate her tone abdomen more. He watched her hips sway from side to side as she jogged. Once she turned the track he looked at her firm backside, the glimmering muscles of her legs and her long black ponytail that flickered back and forth.

 

“Hey, you! Watch out!” yelled a voice.

 

Inuyasha could hear the telltale shrill that let him know a ball was headed in his direction. Even though he was in human form, he still had some demonic instincts and speed. A volleyball was about to make an abrupt collision with his face, but he was able to lift up one hand in time to catch it soundly. Pfffttt.

 

For this first time Inuyasha stopped looking at Kagome and looked down dully at the volleyball in his hands. He looked across the field to see a volleyball game in session and he quickly stood to toss the ball back with both hands. The ball hit the player in the guts with a huge `thump'. Inuyasha could only grin as the volleyball player tried to keep from doubling over.

 

Inuyasha turned to look back at the USC team. Some of the players were actually looking at him questioningly. Coach Kaede walked up to him.

 

“I've noticed that you come to our practices often,” observed the elderly coach as she looked at him shrewdly.

 

“Yeah, I meet Kagome here. We usually go out afterwards,” answered Inuyasha as he folded his hands over his chest.

 

“A friend of Kagome's,” said Kaede with a straight face. “Hummm, what is your name young man?” she asked.

 

He almost answered `Inuyasha'. It was hard to lie to Coach Kaede, it felt like she could look into your very soul when she stared at you. “Ash, my name is Ash,” he responded.

 

“And do you go to school here?” asked Kaede.

 

“Oh, no…I…I go to school at UCSB,” answered Inuyasha sheepishly as he scratched his neck.

 

“That is too bad,” added Kaede. “Your reflexes are good and you have a powerful throwing arm. Have you ever thought about team sports?”

 

Inuyasha looked back at her blinking. “Ummm, I don't have time for it. I uh, I'm also in a band.”

 

“Yet you have time to come see Kagome work out every week. Interesting,” she added. “Well, Ash. It looks like you can't be enlisted to be part of our team…so how about I ask you to help out with our workouts? Seeing that you are here to be with Kagome anyway?”

 

A light blush started to form around Inuyasha's cheeked before he looked up at Kaede. “Help?” he asked flustered.

 

“Yes, a young man with your speed, strength and reflexes could be a good sparing partner for our team. You wouldn't mind if I had you spar against Kagome would you?”

 

Inuyasha's mind quickly was flooded with images of him wrestling Kagome--her firm and lithe body under his. He imagined pinning her and having her in his arms. He imagined the feel of her warm, sweaty thighs rubbing up against his as he touched her. He imagined wrapping his arms around her chest and feeling her soft round mounds under his hands. He was so flustered that he had trouble forming a coherent sentence. “I guess I could help,” he mentioned.

 

Kaede smiled at him warmly. “Come then child. We're about to do sparring and I think Kagome would be better suited to be with you than Hojo.”

 

“Why that idiot better not touch Kagome,” Inuyasha fumed as he trailed off after Kaede. She only smiled to herself as she took the whistle from her lanyard and blew it with a shrill.

 

“OK. Time to spar. And Ash here has volunteered to help us out,” intoned Coach Kaede. “Miroku you can spar with Sango…”

 

Miroku looked at Sango with a lustful glint in his eyes. “Don't even think about it monk,” said Sango with a glare. Miroku only held up his hands to feign innocence as he trailed after Sango, keeping an ever-present eye on her ass.

 

“Hojo, you can spar with Ayumi.” Hojo's eyes looked downcast as he looked from Kagome to Ayumi.

 

“Ash you can join Kagome. Kagome show him the basics of sparing. I bet he can keep you on your toes. He has good reflexes,” added Kaede.

 

Coach Kaede continued to name off pairs for sparing while Kagome walked up to Ash. “How did you manage that?” asked Kagome as she took a swig of her water bottle and then started to squirt it onto her hair, her front and down her back.

 

Inuyasha sat there momentarily stunned as he watched the cool water trickling down her shimmering skin. Small rivulets of water slid down her tan skin, running down the valley between her breasts. Other smaller trickles of water flowed quickly down her back before stopping at her jogging trunks. Since she was bent over to drench herself he couldn't help but to notice two twin dimples above each side of her round bottom. The water hovered momentarily at each dimple before pooling there.

 

Inuyasha gulped again. “Ash, I asked you a question,” said Kagome as she stood up. She didn't seem to notice that he had been staring at her.

 

“Oh, uh. I don't know how I managed it myself. I just caught a volleyball and threw it back and all of the sudden Kaede was asking if I could help with your workouts.”

 

Kagome looked at him quizzically then turned her back to him as she led him to a rectangular chalked area of the field. She quickly turned her head to look at him slyly. “Whatever am I going to do with you Ash?” she asked.

 

Inuyasha could only grin as he ran up to her. “I have a few ideas,” he added while he wrapped his two hands around her waist. Soon his lips found their way to her neck and he was about to kiss her behind her ear when he heard another shrill whistle.

 

“Young man, I said that you are to spar not make out. If you try that one more time with my athlete while we are practicing I will banish you from this field,” yelled Coach Kaede.

 

Inuyasha paused and thought about the consequences of continuing his actions. Her sweat had brought out her scent to a point that even with his faded senses, he could still smell her. Kami, how he loved the way she smelled! If he continued kissing her on the field and if he was told to leave by Kaede--at least he would have a ready excuse to no longer have to be at the USC workouts.

 

Inuyasha moved to kiss her neck when Kagome pulled away from him. Then she turned to face him with a no nonsense look on her face. She was standing about one meter away from him and had both hands on her hips.

 

“Listen Ash, I like having you here. So don't screw this up and get yourself kicked out,” warned Kagome as she waggled her finger at him.

 

“But…,” pouted Inuyasha.

 

She smiled at him slyly and gave him a devious grin. “Just hold it all in boy, we can continue this after our workout.”

 

“Is that a promise?” asked Inuyasha.

 

“You can count on it,” responded Kagome. “Now have you ever taken any martial arts?”

 

“Yes, kendo,” replied Inuyasha. Of course he also had learned street brawling from fighting his brother all of these years, but he didn't need to tell Kagome that.

 

“OK, Coach Kaede has us do Taekwondo moves when we practice.” Kagome handed Inuyasha some of the padded guards and shields they would use for protection. Inuyasha laughed to himself. They never used anything that would protect them during his demonic workouts at UCLA--anyone with demon blood healed so quickly that padding wasn't necessary. He momentarily wondered how the weak humans in front of him could put up such a strong fight during the tournaments. Then he looked up at Kagome who was donning a red face guard and a chest guard. Suddenly she seemed like fragile glass. He stared at her again.

 

Kagome finished putting on her shin guards and then looked up at Inuyasha. “You know about martial arts and Taekwondo, don't you Ash?”

 

Inuyasha drew himself out of his gaze and answered Kagome. “OK mainly fancy footwork, I get it.” He frowned when he looked at Kagome. She was covered in padding and he couldn't see her curves as well as he had hoped. However, as he sighed he could see that at least she would have some measure of protection during her workouts. It was too bad she wasn't allowed to wear them during competitions.

 

“You sure?” asked Kagome as she finished pulling her shin guards on.

 

“Yes, I'm sure,” responded Inuyasha. “Now I don't want to hurt you, seeing that you are a girl…”

 

Kagome smiled back at him, but her smile looked devious. “Because I'm a girl you want to take it easy on me?” she asked dryly.

 

“Well, yeah,” answered a blustered Inuyasha. “I wouldn't want to hurt a girl.” Memories of him punching her in the gut during their last tournament and how her abdomen was blemished with a purple-grey bruise tugged at his mind.

 

Kagome stood at the opposite corner of the chalk marked field. She took a stance with a slight lunge, one hand positioned in front of her chest and the other hand clutched at her side. “The UCLA team won't hold back. So I need you to not hold back,” said Kagome as she quickly moved forward and attempted to land a kick close to his ribcage. He could tell that she was testing his defenses.

 

“But Kagome, I don't want to hurt you,” lamented Inuyasha as he lunged to the side in order to dodge the kick she was attempting to connect.

 

“Then I can't spar with you. I'll need to get Hojo instead,” said Kagome as she moved back quickly and bounced.

 

Inuyasha growled. “Fine. Just don't get mad at me if I connect,” he intoned with a grimace. Inuyasha crouched to the ground and then sprung up in an attempt to grapple Kagome. She dodged by rolling to her side and then quickly jumped back up. She stood in a lunge again.

 

“Good,” she said with a smile. “I knew that you could fight.” Kagome tried another kick that would have hit him square in the chest if he hadn't lunged to the side and grabbed her leg with his arm. He quickly pulled against her leg and brought her body against him. Soon he had her back against him and both off his arms firmly encircled around her chest. `Too bad there's a damn chest guard in the way,' he thought wryly.

 

Inuyasha thought that he had won and that the struggle was over. That was why he was so surprised to feel her grab his arms. Then with a sudden lurch she tucked under him and rolled.

 

“Wha?” he yelled out as he rolled over her and fell with his back to the ground in front of her. Before he knew it Kagome was on top of him, straddling him and pinning his arms down.

 

“Yield!” she demanded.

 

Inuyasha only looked up at her cockily and grinned. “Nope I don't yield,” he said smiling. Kagome was straddling his pelvis and her breasts were pressed up against his chest as she pinned his arms back. He decided to pretend to struggle against her. He pushed up against her arms that had pinned him. He tried to let her think that she could win before he simply pulled his arms free and then grabbed Kagome to pull her in even closer to him.

 

“I don't think you understand the point of this match,” murmured Kagome with her body pressed firmly against his.

 

“Sure I do,” he said smirking. “I get to pin you don't I? And now you're mine!”

 

“Ash, you let me go,” said Kagome as she started to push up against him.

 

“Make me,” he said.

 

Kagome glared at him. She was pinned against him and he had her in a vice-like hold that was almost impossible to get out of. Then she smiled deviously. “Ash, I'll make it worth your while.”

 

“Oh? How so,” Inuyasha asked as Kagome's lips hovered above his. Her lips came down to meet his and her tongue darted out, licking his outer lips. He parted his lips to capture her tongue when he felt her body shift. She quickly rolled to the side and escaped his arms.

 

“Tricky wench,” he voiced as she pushed against the ground to quickly regain her stance. He looked up at her dejectedly as he sighed and pushed himself up as well. He decided to go back to his favorite stance, the crouch. It was one of the best stances you could have if you wanted to grapple and that was all he wanted to do with Kagome right now. `Grapple her and pin her to the ground,' he thought with a smirk. `This is going to be an enjoyable afternoon.'

 

They spent the rest of the afternoon grappling. Inuyasha was surprised to see how well Kagome could fight. He was much larger and stronger than she was, but more than once she was able to use his size and weight against him. Inuyasha found it all pretty amazing since she was a petit little girl. He also found it difficult to truly fight her and because of this he was always holding back. He kept on remembering the bruise that had marred her stomach after their first match and he vowed to never hurt her like that again.

 

Soon they had finished their workout and after a few encouraging words from Coach Kaede, the team broke up to go to the locker rooms. For the first time at USC Inuyasha felt he needed to shower, so he followed after Miroku and borrowed some of his shampoo and clothes.

 

“You're lucky that I have some spare workout clothes,” said Miroku as they finished getting dressed in the locker room.

 

Inuyasha was towel drying his long black hair. It felt so good to be clean and not be hot and sweaty. He tied up his hair in a ponytail and then he started to put on the burgundy and yellow colored shorts and shirt that Miroku had let him borrow. He felt a certain amount of irony in putting on the USC burgundy and yellow colors. Now all he needed to complete the ensemble was to have the USC letters on his shirt. A sweatshirt was quickly thrown in his face.

 

“Hey, what?” asked Inuyasha as he pulled a burgundy hoodie away from his face.

 

“It's to keep you warm. You have to drive back on a motorcycle right?” asked Miroku.

 

Inuyasha looked down at the hoodie and tried not to grimace. It had `USC' emblazoned on it in big yellow letters. Inuyasha threw it back at Miroku. “Uh, thanks. But I'll just wear my leather jacket instead.”

 

Miroku shrugged and started to shove his workout clothes into his duffle bag. He then threw a small plastic bag to Inuyasha.

 

“What's that for?” asked Inuyasha as he held up the small plastic grocery bag.

 

“For your dirty clothes,” answered Miroku. “It'll make it easier for you to drive home on the motorcycle. Just give me my clothes back at the next practice. OK?”

 

“Sure. Uh, thanks,” said Inuyasha sheepishly.

 

“Anytime, don't mention it,” said Miroku as they started to exit out of the locker room.

 

Suddenly Inuyasha remembered a conversation that he had had with Kagome a few days before. He had actually asked her out as Inuyasha she had said some rather unflattering things about him. Her exact words still stung. `Miroku was right! You're so full of yourself!' Inuyasha tried not to growl at Miroku. He was after all the person who had just loaned him clothes, but he needed to get something squared away.

 

Inuyasha quickly caught up with Miroku and they made their way to the bleachers to wait for the girls to get out of their locker rooms. “Oi. Miroku, you know Kagome mentioned something to me about Inuyasha.”

 

“Oh yeah, what's that?” asked Miroku as he looked over his shoulder at Inuyasha.

 

“She said that you mentioned that he was `full of himself'?”

 

Miroku laughed. “Oh that. Actually that was nothing. I really read the riot act to her.”

 

Inuyasha was stunned. “Riot act?” he asked.

 

“Yeah, Sango and I, we never told her everything about Inuyasha. Kagome had such a big crush on him that we really couldn't tell her the entire truth. Then when he yelled at her at the tournament and she started crying for over an hour I just… Well, I snapped. I told her the truth.”

 

“Truth?”

 

Miroku grimaced. “Yeah, you know. You know about him don't you? Everyone knows. I guess everyone but Kagome I guess. He's a player. He has a new girl every week. I hear that he dumps them after he's gotten them into bed…”

 

Inuyasha paled. “I don't think…”

 

“Anyway, to keep her from crying for another hour I told her everything I had heard about him.”

 

“Everything?” murmured Inuyasha in disbelief.

 

“Yeah, everything. She was bound to find out sooner or later. I'm just sad that she had reality slap her in the face that night. You really helped her get over that slimy jerk. Could you imagine what he would have done with our innocent little Kagome?” Miroku asked as he rolled his eyes. “He would have fucked her and then dumped her.”

 

Inuyasha's stunned face looked at Miroku in horror. “No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't do anything like that with Kagome.”

 

Miroku sat down at the bleachers and looked at Inuyasha dryly. “You're kidding me, right man? She'd just be another notch to his bedpost. It's better this way. She cried a little, but she got over him. It would have been worse if he actually got a hold of her. She'd be inconsolable after he dumped her. You see she has this strange way of looking at the world…”

 

“Strange way…”

 

Miroku looked up wistfully at the skies. “Yes, she thinks that everyone is inherently good. Even that Inuyasha guy... She's so naïve and innocent. I just don't want to see her get hurt. But now at least I don't have to worry about him hurting her. Sango and me were pretty worried for a while.”

 

Inuyasha didn't say anything. He just wrung his on hands before he sat up to stare at the sky. `Is that what I have become?' he thought. `Just some ass who dumps girls after fucking them? Is that what I would have done to Kagome?'

 

Suddenly his own heart hurt. `Yes, that was what I intended to do to Kagome,' he thought. `I was going to fuck her and humiliate her. Now, I'm…' He paused in thought. `What am I now?' He thought about Kagome. In his mind he saw her smiling at him and he couldn't help but to smile wistfully in return. She was constantly in his thoughts and now even invaded his dreams. Somehow her life had become entangled with his.

 

`Kagome. What have you done to me?' he thought as he looked up at the blue skies.
