Between Darkness and Light

Chapter 6: Training

By Cataluna

"No, you're holding the bow all wrong, and try to aim for the target this time," Inuyasha said with an amused tone in his voice.

"Oh be quiet, I'm trying to concentrate." She gave him a pointed glare. I'll show him! Eyes squinting, Kagome took her aim carefully and released the arrow. `Please hit.'

It missed. `Darn it.'

"Argh! I give up. I suck at this, and don't tell me that all slayers are supposed to be good at this!" Kagome warned, her eyes flashing with anger and frustration. She looked at Inuyasha, expecting to see him with another smirk on his face.

"Let me show you." He walked behind her and put his arms lightly around her. Kagome nearly swooned at the feel of his hard chest against her back…the sensation of his hot breath on her neck as he covered her hands with his. `My heart. It's beating so fast.' Inuyasha started to adjust her hands position. She took a deep breath and tried to concentrate on what he was saying. "Focus your thought and sight on the target…and keep both eyes opened," he said softly into her left ear.

His hands left hers and lightly traveled up her arms. Her arms tingled. Kagome had to bit back a moan. `Does he know what this is doing to me? Come on, Kagome, focus.' She finally released her arrow.

Bull's eye!

"Omigosh, I did it!!! Thank you so much." Kagome dropped her bow, spun around quickly, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

`Whoa, what am I doing?' She leaned back and gazed into his eyes. They were dark and heated. She saw the muscles around his jaw tightened. "Sorry," Kagome apologized. She could feel her whole face was turning red. `He must be mad about me hugging him.'

She was about to step back when he suddenly returned her embrace. His two strong arms wrapped tightly around her waist. He buried his face into her hair, almost as if he was sniffing her. Rough hands moved slightly up and down her bareback. Time seemed to stand still. "Inu…ya…sha," Kagome moaned.

"Hey what's going on here?" A handsome young man dressed in a casual suit walked into the room. The spell was broken. They quickly stepped apart.

"Miroku!" Inuyasha growled.

"Sorry for the interruption." An amused look appeared on Miroku's face. "I have the information you need."

Inuyasha crossed his arms and glared at him. "Good."

"And who is this beautiful lady?" he walked over to Kagome and placed a kiss on the top of her hand.

She blushed, "Kagome." Then, pried his hand from her.

"Leave her alone." Inuyasha's temper flaring.

"I have to go," Kagome said while putting on her jacket. "Same time next week?" He nodded.

"What the FUCK was that? I didn't give you permission to come in!!!" he roared.

"Hey I wasn't expecting you to have company, let alone a female company. You're not exactly Mr. Popular."

"Feh."

"I'm glad to know that you're finally showing interest in the opposite sex. For a while I thought you were gay. She is very beautiful. You have good taste. So, how far have you gotten with her?"

"Get your mind out of the gutter, you damn pervert! She's the new slayer. NOTHING is going on between us, I'm merely training her," Inuyasha warned.

"Ah, the slayer." Though he can sense it was something more, Miroku knew better than to question him further. It was fun teasing him but now is not the time. He decided to change the subject before Inuyasha loses his temper, again. "I've found more information concerning the Shikon no Tama."

"Oh. And?" he asked, trying to keep from appearing too excited.

"It's supposed to appear soon. Naraku is looking for it too, that means he must be near."

Inuyasha growled at the sound of his name.

Miroku ignored it and continued. "The last slayer was about to locate the Shikon. Naraku killed her for refusing to give him the jewel's location and for daring to deny him once more. Right now I am in the process of trying to translate the book of The Four Souls. It seems to indicate that the Shikon and the slayer's fates are somehow intertwined." He paused for a moment. "Your new friend could be our key to finding the jewel."

Inuyasha sat alone in the dark on his black leather couch, sipping on red wine. Miroku had left to go on another one of his date. `He's never going to settle down.'

He considered Miroku to be his closest friend, his only friend. He's known him since he was 15. They met during one of his "demon hunting." Both were competitive and tried to out do each other. It was nothing less of a miracle that they became friends.

`Miroku had no idea how close I was to ripping his head off. Feh! Just because I don't screw anything in a skirt doesn't mean that I'm gay. I just haven't found the right girl yet, or have I?' He got up and walked out to his balcony. His hair blew softly behind him in the wind. `Why can't I get her out of my mind?' He breathed in the air deeply. `I can still smell her.'

~Flashback~

He watched as she once again attempts to hit the target. His amber eyes trailed up and down her body. Long tone legs, a flat stomach, and a full chest being supported by a little piece of black material. `Does she HAVE to dress like that? Not that I mind, just don't want perverts to hit on her.' She missed, again. Her chest heaving in anger.

"Argh! I give up. I suck at this, and don't tell me that all slayers are supposed to be good at this!" Kagome warned him, her eyes flashing with anger and frustration. `Damn she looks so hot when she's angry. I guess that's why I love making her mad.'

He walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her, enjoying the feel of her soft skin against his chest. Her heart was beating loudly. `Am I the cause of this?' He wondered. Inuyasha decided to test his theory by running his hands lightly up her arms. Her breath grew quicker. He grinned quietly to himself and watch as she finally hit the target.

He was NOT prepared for her suddenly wrapping her arms around his neck. Her warm body pressed tightly against his. While his mind was debating over whether he should return her embrace, Kagome suddenly pulled back. A deep blush appeared on her face.

`Oh fuck it!' He quickly wrapped his arms around her before she can escape, and buried his face in her hair, inhaling her sweet smell. His hands traveled up and down her bare back. When he heard her moan his name, it took all his self-control to not take her right there on the floor. Though he sounded mad, he was actually glad that Miroku had interrupted that moment.

~End Flashback~

The wine glass he was clutching in his hand shattered. He stared at the blood seeping out of the wounds on his hand. `I need to get out of here.' He jumped over the railing, and disappeared into the night.
