InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Little Adjustment to the Status Quo ❯ Proposition ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: Inuyasha and company belong to Rumiko Takahashi and an impressive array of corporations.

 

Author's Note: I decided to write this one in a little different style from the last one. The story's going to get hentai eventually, but this chapter is almost--/almost/--fit for virgin eyes.

 

 

 

The still, cool midnight forest was a perfect setting for the lonely figure perched on a rock. Inuyasha sat sulking--no, /brooding,/ brooding was manlier--Inuyasha sat brooding with his hands in his sleeves. He could have been made of stone himself, 5'7" of stubborn adolescent male statuary that had been sculpted by an artist desperate to communicate the vision, "I don't care which of us is wrong, it's not gonna be me."

 

A soft step behind him. The statue twitched.

 

"Inuyasha?"

 

"Keh."

 

Kagome stepped out from behind a tree. She was holding her bag before her in classic good-girl Japanese style, both hands together as though she were prepared to bow, but her expression was anything but meek. "I brought you something from my time."

 

"I don't want anything from your time," Inuyasha said without turning around.

 

"I know you don't, but… it's for your own good. Yours and mine. I've been doing some reading on animal behavior, and I struck upon something that might stop these endless arguments between us."

 

Inuyasha cast the briefest, most contemptuous look in his repertoire over his shoulder before turning back to his brood. His silver hair whispered as it fell over his shoulder. "The only thing that'll stop them is finding all the Jewel shards and getting you out of my life."

 

"We're going to try my way anyway," Kagome said. "Get down here before I make you get down."

 

Inuyasha eased himself down with manly sullenness. She was going to cry. He knew it. She'd found a way to make herself cry on command, and now he was going to be a puppet in her hands for the rest of his days. He turned to face her, expression tuned to exactly the right blend of menace and "Whut." If he made her angry enough, maybe she'd just sit him into oblivion and storm off.

 

"Good. Now--" Kagome smacked him in the shoulder so hard that he bent back. Before he could get his foot behind him for balance, Kagome yelled, "Sit!"

 

The universe laid its huge hand against him and slammed him backfirst into the dirt.

 

While he was groaning and waiting for the force to let up enough for him to prop himself up on his elbows, Kagome stepped between his spreadeagled legs. She kneeled, the bag still before her, then gave him a predatory grin and set the bag to the side. Her demure schoolgirl skirt was tented out with what looked like an enormous, erect--

 

Kagome smiled into Inuyasha's horrified face. "We're going to make a little adjustment to the status quo, you and I."
