Chapter 12
It was two hours until graduation and the girls still hadn’t even got dressed yet. They had been to the mall trying to find accessories to complete their graduation outfits. They had been there most of the morning. It was now noon and the graduation was starting at 2:00pm. The girls weren’t too worried, because they had their outfits and gowns already pressed and laid out on the bed at Kagome’s house. When they got home, Sango did Kagome’s hair and Kagome did Sango’s. They were both wearing their hair down in loose curls, so they wouldn’t have a problem putting on their caps during graduation. Kagome pinned hers up on the sides bit so that her hair was out of her face. Once the girls got dressed, they were ready to go downstairs to take pictures. Sango’s parents were downstairs as well as Kohaku. Sango’s mom and Kagome’s mom have been best friends for years and that’s how Kagome and Sango ended up best friends as well. They have known each other forever. The girls took pictures with their caps and gowns off first. Sango was wearing a blue spaghetti strap dress with matching strappy sandals. Kagome was wearing a red and white sundress with matching strappy sandals as well.
After their parents took a few pictures, Kagome and Sango put on their caps and gowns and took a few more. Finally, the parents had taken what they thought to be enough pictures and they all filed out the door to head to the graduation. The graduates had to be an hour early to get prepared for the ceremony. When everyone went to find their seats, they noticed that Inuyasha and Miroku were already seated. So everyone joined the boys and waited patiently for the ceremony to begin. The whole ceremony was two hours long. There was a musical selection from the school’s choir, and speeches from the key note speaker, the principal, and the Valet Victorian of the graduating class. It was followed by the graduates receiving their diploma duplicates and officially announcing the class of 2006. Both Sango and Kagome graduated in the top 5 percent of their class and their parents were so proud.
After the graduation, there were a few pictures taken before everyone decided it would be nice to go out to eat. Sango and Kagome were happy that their families wanted to celebrate early because they were planning on attending a graduation party later. Everyone enjoyed their meals as they laughed and made conversation. When they were finished socializing, everyone said their good byes to make their way to their homes. Sango and Kagome left with Inuyasha and Miroku to go back to Miroku’s place before the party. Once they got there, the girls fell out on the couch, exhausted. The boys just smiled and sat in their favorite chairs.
“So are you guys coming to the party tonight? ,” Sango asked, already knowing that she wasn’t really giving Miroku a choice in the matter.
“Well of course we are, my sweet Sango. Isn’t that right Inuyasha? ,” Miroku addressed Inuyasha knowing if he had to go, then Inuyasha was going too. Little did Miroku know that Inuyasha had already planned to go once he knew Kagome was going too.
“Yeah, we’re going. Where is it at again? ,” Inuyasha asked.
“At Yumi’s house. She had gym with me and she invited us,” Kagome smiled and said matter-of-factly. “But I think I should lay down for a minute. Inuyasha, is it ok if I go lay down in your bed for a little while,” she smiled at him.
“Keh . . . like you have to ask,” Inuyasha smiled as he responded to her question.
Kagome got up and walked over to Inuyasha and kissed him on the cheek before walking to his room.
“Wow, Inuyasha. What was that about? ,” Sango asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Nothing. If she’s tired, she should go lay down,” he said with a confused expression.
“No. Not that. I mean the letting Kagome kiss you thing,” Sango smirked.
“What . . . you mean this? ,” he said placing his hand to his cheek. “You know Kagome’s just like that . . . you know affectionate and stuff. She always does stuff like that,” Inuyasha replied sort of blushing.
“Oh, I see. So is there something we don’t know, because she may be affectionate, but I’ve never seen her kiss you before,” Miroku chimed in with a smirk.
“Oh no, now don’t you start. See what you did Sango? You’re getting worse than your boyfriend, you know that. I told you guys already . . . we are just good friends,” Inuyasha defended himself.
“Right, I understand. A ‘good’ friend,” Miroku said putting up air quotes for the word ‘good’.
“Well I’m a little tired as well, so I guess I’ll go lay down too,” Sango said yawning as she changed the subject and got up to head to Miroku’s bedroom.
“May I join you my love? ,” Miroku asked with a smirk.
“Only if you promise to keep your busy hands to yourself. I really want to take a nap. We will have plenty of time for other activities later,” she smiled as she motioned for him to follow.
“Uh . . . that’s just more information than I need to know,” Inuyasha frowned up his face.
“Sango, I am totally offended by your accusations. You speak as though I have no self control,” Miroku smiled innocently as he followed her.
“Yeah, yeah. Come on Mr. Self Control,” Sango smiled and giggled dragging Miroku by the hand to his room.

Inuyasha sat on the couch, watching tv for about 10 minutes until he got totally bored and decided to check on Kagome. He stood in the doorway and looked at the raven-haired beauty laying in his bed. ‘Wow. She looks like an angel laying there. She is so beautiful. I don’t even deserve someone like her,’ he thought to himself.
“Inuyasha . . . ,” Kagome called out half asleep, opening her eyes to focus on the figure in the doorway.
“Yeah, it’s me,” he smiled walking further in the room.
“Why are you just standing there? Come lay next to me,” she said patting the empty space on the bed next to her.
“You sure? ,” he asked slowly approaching the bed.
“Yeah, of course Inuyasha. Don’t be so silly. Come lay next to me,” she smiled at him.
He slowly laid down on his back with his hands laced behind his head. Kagome moved closer to him, laying her head on his chest. He smiled and put his arm around her, as she snuggled against him and sighed.
“Hey, this is a lot better than standing there watching you sleep,” Inuyasha smiled as he made his comment.
“Yes, much better. Now hush so I can go back to sleep. I am suddenly very comfortable,” she giggled as she drifted back to sleep.
‘I’ve got to tell her how I feel. I’ve got to tell her who I really am. I want to tell her everything. I just gotta find the right time,’ Inuyasha thought as he slowly drifted to sleep himself.
______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________
Miroku and Sango were laying in the bed, however, Miroku really wasn’t sleepy at all. But he wanted to be close to Sango, so he opted to just lay there with her. They were laying on their side’s face to face. Miroku just stared at his resting koi, her eyes closed and her breathing softly caressing his mouth. He couldn’t help but to want to move in closer to her face, capturing her soft lips with his own. He only expected to steal a chaste kiss, but suddenly she slowly responded to his actions. She didn’t hesitate to show him that she was loving his attention. She slowly glided her tongue across his lips, seeking access into his mouth. He parted his lips giving her control, allowing her to explore his mouth with her soft tongue. The kiss went from chaste to a deep passionate kiss, as if they were trying to devour each others mouth. After a minute or two of heavy breathing and kissing, Miroku broke away with a puzzled look on his face.
“I thought you wanted to sleep,” Miroku said softly with a smile.
“Can’t a girl change her mind? ,” Sango smirked as she rolled him to his back.
She climbed up on top of him to straddle his waist. She slowly leaned down to capture his lips again in another heated kiss, Miroku wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer.
_______________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________
“Well, it looks like someone is having fun again,” Inuyasha sighed as he laid there next to a sleeping Kagome, not being able to help but to hear what was going on in the next room. ‘Damn my hanyou abilities,’ he thought as held Kagome’s sleeping form. ‘It’s not like that’s all I want. It’s just . . . being this close to her and all I can do is lay here holding her. She’s so soft . . . and she smells so good. Her lips are soft . . . and the taste . . . I wonder what the rest of her tastes like. Shit, now look what I’ve done,’ he thought as he looked down at the tent in his pants. ‘This is not the time to have a hard on. You see what you do to me Kagome,’ he smiled as he thought about what it would be like to be with Kagome. ‘I would never want her first time to be like this. She deserves much better. But now I have another problem,’ looking back down at his erection. He slowly rolled Kagome off of him and slid out of the bed.
Kagome stirred a little but she didn’t wake up. He made his way to the bathroom, but realized that Sango and Miroku had obviously moved their activities to the shower. “Kami, these guys are all over the place,” he mumbled under his breath trying to figure out how he was gonna fix his “problem.” He walked to the kitchen and got the ice tray out of the freezer. He popped a couple of cubes out of the tray, placed them in a glass with a little water and proceeded to open his pants to pour it down the front.
“Holy shit that’s cold! ,” he shouted and he tried to quickly remove the ice cubes from his boxers. “What the fuck was I thinking?”
“Hey Inuyasha, are you ok?” Sango asked as she came into the living room, looking over into the kitchen at Inuyasha. Miroku was right behind her.
“Now you guys come out the bathroom,” Inuyasha said with a huff.
“Sorry Inuyasha, I didn’t mean to make you go pee your pants,” Miroku snickered and pointed at the huge wet spot in front of his pants. Sango popped Miroku in the back of the head.
“Hey what was that for?” Miroku looked back at her with a frown holding the back of his head but she just rolled her eyes.
“Really funny Miroku. I didn’t pee my pants. I spilled my drink on them,” Inuyasha told Miroku hoping he would fall for his story. ‘That’s much better than saying, yeah I was fucking hard and I couldn’t take a cold shower cause you two were in it’.
“Yeah, well I hope you aren’t going to the party like that,” Miroku laughed.
“You’re such an ass Miroku,” Inuyasha said leaving the room.
Sango gave him a look. “What did I do?” Miroku said innocently as he shrugged his shoulders.
____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
Inuyash a went back to his room to get a change of clothes and Kagome was sitting on the edge of the bed.
“You’re up! ,” Inuyasha said surprised trying to hide the wet spot in front of his pants with his hands.
“Yeah, but what happened to you,” Kagome said giggling and blushing, trying not to stare at the spot too long.
“Nothing. I just spilled my water, that’s all. I just need a change of clothes so we can get ready to go,” he said half embarrassed at the fact that all this started because of his thoughts of Kagome.
“What time is it anyway?”
“It’s 8:00.”
“Wow, I was sleep that long? ,” Kagome said a little shocked. She really didn’t mean to sleep that long. I guess she could help it. She was so comfortable laying in Inuyasha’s arms.
“Yeah, I guess you were pretty tired,” he said walking to his closet and taking off his shirt. Kagome got a glimpse of his toned body before blushing and turning away.
“Inuyasha, you could at least warn me that you wanted to change clothes right this minute. That way I could leave and give you some privacy,” she smiled but he couldn’t see, because she was turned away from him.
“Keh . . . you know I’m not a shy person. The only reason I wear anything at all while I’m here is cause you and Sango are guests. I wouldn’t want to offend you or have Miroku freaking out about Sango’s delicate eyes again,” he laughed as he continued to get undressed. ‘Not like I would like to show you what I have to offer,’ he thought to himself and smirked.
‘It’s not like his naked body offends me. It’s just that if I see him naked I may not be able to control myself,’ she giggled and didn’t realize she had done so loud enough for Inuyasha to hear.
“Hey, what’s so funny,” Inuyasha asked curiously.
“Nothing, just laughing at what you said about Miroku commenting on Sango’s delicate eyes,” Kagome answered, knowing that’s not what she was really giggling about.
There were a few times where Inuyasha was caught by Sango in nothing but his boxers and a smile, which Sango never really minded, but Miroku found quite annoying.
“Well fine. Keep your eyes closed cause I’m not finished yet,” he said as he continued to strip and turned around to grab a pair of boxers out of his drawer.
Kagome could resist the urge to turn slightly looking out the corner of her eyes to sneak a peek of Inuyasha naked back side. ‘Wow, he really is tone all over I guess’, she thought as she quickly turned around trying to suppress a giggle and the thoughts of seeing the rest of him naked. It caused her to become slightly aroused and she blushed.
Inuyasha picked up on this and quickly slipped on his boxers and turned back around.
“Hey did you sneak a peek?” he smirked to himself because she wasn’t facing him.
“Of course not, why would you say that? ,” she blushed as she had realized she had been caught, but could figure out how. ‘Gee, does he have eyes in the back of his head or something. He couldn’t have seen me,’ Inuyasha spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
“Uh, I think it’s safe to turn around now,” he smiled.
She slowly turned around to see a fully clothed Inuyasha putting on some white gym shoes.
“So, does this mean that we are ready to go now? ,” she sighed like she didn’t even care that he was just naked, but Inuyasha knew better.
“Don’t know. Let’s go see if Miroku and Sango are ready,” he said as he placed his hand on the small of her back guiding her out of the room. It sent a shiver up her spine and she was even more aroused now. ‘Wow, I’m on a roll. I’ll have to make a mental note of that,’ he smirked as he lead her into the living room.
“So, you guys ready? ,” Inuyasha addressed Sango and Miroku.
“Yeah, we’re ready. Let’s go,” Sango answered getting up from the couch grabbing Miroku’s hand to lead him out the front door behind Inuyasha and Kagome.
_______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________
They arrived at the graduation party at around 8:45 and people were still arriving, even after they showed up. There were a few people hanging around outside in the yard and on the porch when they first arrived. Yumi’s house was huge, but not like a mansion or anything and she wasn’t what you would consider rich. However, both of her parents made a good living and they lived comfortably. As they walked into the house, there were tons of people everywhere. People sitting in the living room and dining room having casual conversation. Some in the kitchen making drinks and passing out beers. You could even catch random couples going up to the empty bedrooms. Outside on the deck in the backyard, you could hear the DJ playing Fall Out Boy’s “XO” while the guests were dancing and having a good time.
Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Kagome made their way through the living room to find Yumi and thank her for inviting them.
“So Miroku, you wanna go get the girls something to drink? ,” Inuyasha gave Miroku a look and motioned to the kitchen. It was obvious that Inuyasha wanted to talk to Miroku alone.
“Uh, sure. Ladies, if you’ll excuse us please,” Miroku said as he kissed Sango’s hand before following Inuyasha toward the kitchen.
“So what do you think that was about? ,” Kagome asked suspiciously.
“I’m not really sure. Probably just some guy stuff,” Sango giggled.
“Or Inuyasha wants to put the moves on you tonight and wants some friendly advice,” Sango smirked.
“Now, I know Miroku is a bad influence on you. It’s not like that, I’m sure. Besides I don’t think Inuyasha needs pointers on how to make a girl feel good,” Kagome giggled and blushed.
When the boys got in the kitchen, Inuyasha grabbed a beer and drunk it down in one breath.
“Thirsty much?” Miroku chuckled as he continued to sip his drink.
“Just nerves, I guess,” Inuyasha said as he nervously tapped his cup on the counter top.
“Why? Do you plan on making Kagome a woman tonight or something? ,” Miroku smirked and raised his eyebrows at Inuyasha.
“It’s not like that, Miroku. I’m gonna tell her . . . you know? ,” Inuyasha said as he touched his beads.
“Oh . . . you’re gonna tell her that. You mean today, right now?! ,” Miroku looked at Inuyasha surprised at what he was saying.
“Yeah, I can’t take it anymore. I have to tell her what I am before I tell her how I really feel about her. I’m in love with her,” Inuyasha smiled at Miroku finally being able to admit how he felt out loud and to Miroku.
“Wow. That’s great news Yasha. Go for it,” Miroku said over the music patting his friend on the back.
“Yeah, I just hope she doesn’t freak out when I show her what I really look like,” Inuyasha downed another beer before walking out of the kitchen to the living room.
The guys got back to the girls with their drinks in hand. Inuyasha brought Kagome back a soda because he knew she really didn’t like to drink any alcoholic beverages. Besides, he wanted her to be totally sober for what he planned for tonight.
“Glad you guys decided to come back,” Sango said sarcastically reaching for her cup.
“Yeah, what took you guys so long anyway? ,” Kagome asked suspiciously.
“Uh, there was a long line for something to drink in the kitchen. Um . . . Kagome, I need to talk to you alone, if that’s ok with you,” Inuyasha quickly changes subjects. He had more important things on his mind, as he stood there with his hand extended for Kagome to take.
Sango gave Kagome a look like she was saying “I told you so” and winked which made Kagome blush.
“I won’t hurt you Kagome. You do trust me, don’t you? ,” Inuyasha asked as he waited for her response, his hand still extended.
“Of course I trust you Inuyasha,” Kagome smiled as she took his hand and got up from the couch to take his hand.
_________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
Sango and Miroku waved to them as they walked off and up the stairs to the bedrooms. ‘Oh my Gods he’s taking me upstairs to the bedroom. What is he up to? He’s not gonna try to do ‘that’ is he? Not that I think I would mind. Shake that thought Kagome. Get your mind out of the gutter,’ she smirked to herself. Once they were upstairs in front of one of the bedrooms, Inuyasha knocked to see if it was occupied. With his enhanced hearing, he could hear some heaving breathing and moaning coming from the room.
“I think someone is in this room,” he smirked as he lead her down the hall to another bedroom.
He knocked on the door and listened for any noises from the room, but he didn’t hear anything, so he slowly opened the door. It was vacant, so they walked into the room and Inuyasha sat down on the bed, motioning for Kagome to sit down next to him. She nervously sat on the bed next to him, playing in her hair like she always did when she was nervous. Inuyasha sighed and took a deep breath before he finally spoke.
“Kagome I have something really important to tell you. There is something that you don’t know about me and I don’t want to hide it from you anymore,” he looked down on the floor, playing with his fingers.
“What’s wrong Inuyasha? Are you sick or something? ,” she asked with a worried look sliding a little closer to him, looking him in his eyes.
“No, I’m fine. It’s just . . . I’m not like other guys,” he said turning away again to stare at the floor. Kagome had never seen him so nervous. He was usually so confident about everything.
“I know you are different Inuyasha. You come off as a jerk most of the time, but you’re really a good guy,” she giggled.
“Hey, what exactly did you mean by that,” he sounded slightly offended at her statement.
“Nothing. Isn’t there something you were trying to tell me? ,” she quickly changed the subject, putting the focus of their conversation back on what Inuyasha had to say.
“Oh yeah. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is . . . well maybe I should just show you. But you have to promise not to scream, yakuosku? ,” he asked preparing himself.
“Yes, I promise Inuyasha. But why in the world would I scream? ,” she asked with a confused look etched on her face.
As she said that Inuyasha closed his eyes and braced himself as he took off his beads and awaited Kagome’s reaction. She flinched at first, not believing what she was seeing. She put her hand over her mouth, because she promised that she wouldn’t scream but she was totally taken by surprise to see two little fuzzy ears on top of Inuyasha’s head and the other ears totally disappear. Inuyasha opened his eyes because she hadn’t screamed so he had to see the expression on her face. She still had her hands over her mouth, but she had more of a shocked expression than a terrified one. Inuyasha couldn’t smell fear so that was good, at least he hoped. Inuyasha swallowed hard, before finally breaking the awkward silence.
“Kagome, are you ok? ,” he reached out to touch her but she jumped back. So he slowly lowered his hand and looked back down to the floor. ‘Oh shit, now she doesn’t even want me to touch her,’ he thought as he was getting up ready to leave.
Kagome took her hands from her mouth and reached out to grab him and stop him.
“Don’t go Inuyasha. I’m sorry . . . I’m just a little overwhelmed. I don’t want you to leave,” she smiled at him, her eyes still big, focusing on his ears.
Inuyasha relaxed and sat back down as Kagome slowly moved closer.
“Are those . . . dog ears? ,” Kagome asked with a puzzled look.
“Yeah,” Inuyasha answered still looking to the floor.
“Can I touch them? ,” she asked softly reaching out to his head.
Inuyasha wasn’t expecting her to ask to touch them. Nobody every asked to do that before. Even the few that didn’t freak out and run away never asked to touch them. He relaxed a little more.
“Yeah. If you want to, I guess,” he mumbled.
She reached up to stroke one of the furry ears and it twitched, which made her jump and giggle.
‘Did she just giggle? ,’ Inuyasha thought as he looked up at her and smiled.
She attempted to touch it again, rubbing it causing him to close his eyes and let out a low purr in his throat.
‘Did he just purr? That’s so kawaii,’ she thought as she continued to rub his ear.
“Inuyasha . . . ,” she called his attention, letting goes of his ear and scooting closer to him.
“Yeah . . . ,” he answered as he opened his eyes to look at her.
“What are you exactly? I mean . . . it’s obvious you are more than human,” she asked looking into his eyes like the answers were there.
“Well I’m an Inu-Hanyou. I’m half human and half dog demon,” he said matter-of-factly.
“A demon, but I though demons were evil and cruel,” Kagome was confused again.
“Yeah, some demons are, but not all demons are evil; even full demons.”
“So do you have a cute little tail too? ,” she smiled and giggled.
“No, I don’t have a tail. But I have claws and fangs.”
Kagome looked down to his hands and realized that he did indeed have claws. She grabbed his face to get a better look at his fangs.
“Fangs? Let me see,” she said motioning for him to open his mouth. He rolled his eyes playfully and opened his mouth so she could examine his mouth. She felt around rubbing his teeth with one of her fingers and accidentally pricked her finger with one of his fangs.
“Itai,” Kagome said as she pulled her finger out of his mouth and into her own sucking it.
‘She just had her finger all in my mouth and she had no problem putting her finger right in her own. Not to mention the way she’s sucking on it right now. I’m glad she’s not a hanyou right now,’ he smirked to himself.
He quickly shook those thoughts from his head. “Kagome you have to be more careful. My fangs can be very sharp,” he said with concern.
“I’m ok. It’s just a little prick on my finger. I’ll be fine,” she said as she took her finger out of her mouth and smiled at him.
Inuyasha smiled back realizing that she was totally comfortable with him even after his secret was out.
“So are there anymore things that come with being half demon? ,” Kagome asked curiously. She knew that couldn’t be it.
“Well I’m really fast and have good reflexes. I can also heal quickly and I’m really strong. Oh, and my senses are heightened. I can hear and smell things better than a regular person.”
“You mean you can smell things that no one else can?”
“Right. I can smell scents like food and flowers, even if they are far away. But I can also smell emotions or the scent someone gives off when they are in a certain emotional state. You know like fear or sadness . . . or if someone is happy, worried, or excited,” he said the last word with a smile.
“When you say excited, what do you mean? ,” she knew the answer, but just wanted to see what he was going to say.
“You know, when someone is turned on or aroused,” he said with a smirk.
“Oh, I see,” Kagome was trying to hide her face that was turning bright red. She quickly changed the subject to something less embarrassing. Now she realized that Inuyasha had more than likely caught her aroused scent several times.
“So, who else knows about you? ,” she said as her blush slowly faded.
“Well, Miroku knows and so do Kouga and Shippo.”
She looked down at the floor and played in her hair. “So, you never told Kikyo?”
“No, I haven’t told anyone in a very long time. I never thought that Kikyo would understand. I thought she would think I was a freak,” he said his head hanging low.
“Inuyasha how could you say such a thing? You’re not a freak,” Kagome said as she reached out to touch his hand that was sitting in his lap.
“Yeah, well up til now you are the only girl who hasn’t freaked out and ran away when I showed my true self,” he said in an almost sad tone.
“Why would I ever run away? You’re still you . . . you are still Inuyasha to me,” she said with a smile as she brushed the hair away that was hiding his face, as he turned to look at her.
“I knew I could tell you Kagome. I knew I could trust you, cause you’re my best friend,” he smiled back at her.
“And you’re my best friend Inuyasha,” she giggled and blushed.
“Oh, there is one more thing you should know.”
“I shouldn’t be worried should I?”
“I don’t think so. I just forgot to mention while I may be 20 in humans terms, I am actually . . . much older,” Inuyasha said as he played with his hands.
“How much older? ,” Kagome asked not really knowing what to expect him to say.
“Uh, about over . . . 500 years old,” he said the last part rather quickly.
“You’ve been around for more than 500 years? ,” she asked in disbelief. She knows she wasn’t expecting that.
“Ah, yeah. Youkai and hanyou have a long life span and don’t age as quickly.”
“Wow, is there anything else I need to know?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Good, because one more surprise and I could faint.”
Inuyasha laughed at her comment.
“Hey, that’s not funny. I was being serious. This is a lot for a girl to take in you know,” she playfully pouted and crossed her arms.
“Well, I guess I should wait til later to tell you my other secret,” he smirked hiding the fact that he was really still nervous.
“I thought you said you told me everything,” she gave him a look, like he was in big trouble if he wasn’t telling her everything.
“I did tell you everything. This has nothing to do with that. This is something else,” he said as he grabbed both of Kagmome’s hands.
Kagome could tell that what he had to say was important and that he was nervous which made her a little nervous.
“The first day I met you, I knew that there was something about you, other than you had a mouth on you and a temper to back it up,” he said and chuckled trying to make light of the situation to subdue some of his nervousness.
Kagome just rolled her eyes and Inuyasha laughed at her actions.
“Let me finish. I know we haven’t known each other that long, but I care for you so much. You are the sweetest, kindest, most caring people I know. And the fact that you didn’t bolt out of here when I told you I was a hanyou just helped me realize that I have to let you know.”
“Let me know what Inuyasha? ,” Kagome looked into his eyes.
Inuyasha swallowed hard. “I have to tell you that . . . that I . . . want you to be my girlfriend,” he said as he closed his eyes and held his breath waiting for a response.
Kagome jumped up and hugged him which shocked him.
“Is that a yes, then? ,” he said surprised at her response.
“Yes, of course I’ll be your girlfriend,” she said excitedly. She leaned into his face and looked into his eyes as she cupped his face and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
Inuyasha in return, kissed her back, deepening the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her. He broke the kiss as he smiled at her and took her by the hand.
“Come on, let’s get Miroku and Sango and get outta here,” Inuyasha insisted. There was no way that he wanted to get anything started between him and his new girlfriend at some party. She deserved way more than that.
“Are we going back to your place? ,” Kagome asked not wanting this night to end.
“You mean Miroku’s or home?”
“Wherever you are sleeping tonight,” she blushed. It wasn’t that she was expecting anything to happen. She just wanted to go to sleep next to Inuyasha tonight and wake up with him holding her.
“You sure you don’t wanna go home? It’s been a long day and I don’t want your mom to worry,” he said with genuine concern.
“It’s fine. I was supposed to be staying the night at Sango’s house, so she’ll think I’m there. Besides, I’d rather be with you,” she said as she smiled and squeezed his hand.
_________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
Meanwhi le downstairs, Miroku and Sango are outside in the backyard dancing when Kikyo showed up. Nobody knew she would be there because Yumi didn’t invite her, but she invited Hojo and Kikyo talked her way into Hojo taking her with him. When they showed up, instantly the trouble started. An acquaintance of Kikyo’s was there and let her know what was going on.
“Hey Kikyo, I didn’t know that Inuyasha had a new girlfriend. I mean you just dumped him,” the girl commented.
Kikyo had led them to believe she had dumped Inuyasha and not the other way around.
“What are you going on about? What exactly did you see? ,” she asked the girl, knowing it had to be Kagome she was speaking of.
“Maybe we should go powder our noses,” the girl motioned to the bathroom. She didn’t want to talk in front of Hojo.
“I’ll be right back. I have to go to the restroom. Ok?”
Hojo nodded, as she smiled and kissed him on the cheek. She quickly followed the girl into the restroom.
“So spill it already. What going on? ,” Kikyo said anxiously.
“I just thought you would like to know that he doesn’t seem too broken up over you dumping him. The way he’s been hanging around that Kagome girl makes me think maybe he broke up with you,” the girl said with a smirk.
“That’s nonsense. I broke up with him. And what do you mean he’s been hanging around her? When did you see them together? ,” Kikyo was really starting to get angry now.
“They are here together. I think they are upstairs in one of the bedrooms, I think. I saw them go up there about 45 minutes ago, but I don’t think I saw them come down,” the girl had that thinking look.
Now Kikyo was fuming. She wasn’t over Inuyasha and was determined to get him back and Kagome was upstair doing Gods knows what with “her” man.
“Don’t worry. I have a little surprise for that boyfriend stealing bitch.”
Kikyo busted out of the bathroom and walked right pass Hojo and headed for the stairs. Hojo was confused at why she looked so angry and followed her. Sango and Miroku had just come back in to get something to drink when they noticed that Kikyo was there and heading up the stairs.
“This can’t be good,” Miroku commented to Sango. He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her through the crowd toward the stairs.
Just as Kikyo was coming up the stairs, Inuyasha and Kagome were coming down the hallway. Kagome was walking in front of Inuyasha, with Inuyasha right behind her holding on to her at the hips and playfully kissing her neck. Kagome noticed Kikyo standing at the top of the stairs and stopped suddenly making Inuyasha run into the back of her, causing her to stumble forward away from Inuyasha.
“I told you to stay away from him. He’s mine!!,” Kikyo shouted at Kagome.
“Kikyo, he told you it was over. Why can’t you just get over it? ,” Kagome shouted back.
“GET OVER THIS!!,” Kikyo screamed as she lunged at Kagome, knocking her and Inuyasha to the floor. Kikyo pulled something small and shiny out of her purse and five loud sounds filled the room before she was tackled to the ground by Hojo and Miroku. Sango ran over to her friend and noticed all the blood that was pooling from under her limp unconscious body.
“KAGOME . . . NOOOOO!”

Chapter 12
It was two hours until graduation and the girls still hadn’t even got dressed yet. They had been to the mall trying to find accessories to complete their graduation outfits. They had been there most of the morning. It was now noon and the graduation was starting at 2:00pm. The girls weren’t too worried, because they had their outfits and gowns already pressed and laid out on the bed at Kagome’s house. When they got home, Sango did Kagome’s hair and Kagome did Sango’s. They were both wearing their hair down in loose curls, so they wouldn’t have a problem putting on their caps during graduation. Kagome pinned hers up on the sides bit so that her hair was out of her face. Once the girls got dressed, they were ready to go downstairs to take pictures. Sango’s parents were downstairs as well as Kohaku. Sango’s mom and Kagome’s mom have been best friends for years and that’s how Kagome and Sango ended up best friends as well. They have known each other forever. The girls took pictures with their caps and gowns off first. Sango was wearing a blue spaghetti strap dress with matching strappy sandals. Kagome was wearing a red and white sundress with matching strappy sandals as well.
After their parents took a few pictures, Kagome and Sango put on their caps and gowns and took a few more. Finally, the parents had taken what they thought to be enough pictures and they all filed out the door to head to the graduation. The graduates had to be an hour early to get prepared for the ceremony. When everyone went to find their seats, they noticed that Inuyasha and Miroku were already seated. So everyone joined the boys and waited patiently for the ceremony to begin. The whole ceremony was two hours long. There was a musical selection from the school’s choir, and speeches from the key note speaker, the principal, and the Valet Victorian of the graduating class. It was followed by the graduates receiving their diploma duplicates and officially announcing the class of 2006. Both Sango and Kagome graduated in the top 5 percent of their class and their parents were so proud.
After the graduation, there were a few pictures taken before everyone decided it would be nice to go out to eat. Sango and Kagome were happy that their families wanted to celebrate early because they were planning on attending a graduation party later. Everyone enjoyed their meals as they laughed and made conversation. When they were finished socializing, everyone said their good byes to make their way to their homes. Sango and Kagome left with Inuyasha and Miroku to go back to Miroku’s place before the party. Once they got there, the girls fell out on the couch, exhausted. The boys just smiled and sat in their favorite chairs.
“So are you guys coming to the party tonight? ,” Sango asked, already knowing that she wasn’t really giving Miroku a choice in the matter.
“Well of course we are, my sweet Sango. Isn’t that right Inuyasha? ,” Miroku addressed Inuyasha knowing if he had to go, then Inuyasha was going too. Little did Miroku know that Inuyasha had already planned to go once he knew Kagome was going too.
“Yeah, we’re going. Where is it at again? ,” Inuyasha asked.
“At Yumi’s house. She had gym with me and she invited us,” Kagome smiled and said matter-of-factly. “But I think I should lay down for a minute. Inuyasha, is it ok if I go lay down in your bed for a little while,” she smiled at him.
“Keh . . . like you have to ask,” Inuyasha smiled as he responded to her question.
Kagome got up and walked over to Inuyasha and kissed him on the cheek before walking to his room.
“Wow, Inuyasha. What was that about? ,” Sango asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Nothing. If she’s tired, she should go lay down,” he said with a confused expression.
“No. Not that. I mean the letting Kagome kiss you thing,” Sango smirked.
“What . . . you mean this? ,” he said placing his hand to his cheek. “You know Kagome’s just like that . . . you know affectionate and stuff. She always does stuff like that,” Inuyasha replied sort of blushing.
“Oh, I see. So is there something we don’t know, because she may be affectionate, but I’ve never seen her kiss you before,” Miroku chimed in with a smirk.
“Oh no, now don’t you start. See what you did Sango? You’re getting worse than your boyfriend, you know that. I told you guys already . . . we are just good friends,” Inuyasha defended himself.
“Right, I understand. A ‘good’ friend,” Miroku said putting up air quotes for the word ‘good’.
“Well I’m a little tired as well, so I guess I’ll go lay down too,” Sango said yawning as she changed the subject and got up to head to Miroku’s bedroom.
“May I join you my love? ,” Miroku asked with a smirk.
“Only if you promise to keep your busy hands to yourself. I really want to take a nap. We will have plenty of time for other activities later,” she smiled as she motioned for him to follow.
“Uh . . . that’s just more information than I need to know,” Inuyasha frowned up his face.
“Sango, I am totally offended by your accusations. You speak as though I have no self control,” Miroku smiled innocently as he followed her.
“Yeah, yeah. Come on Mr. Self Control,” Sango smiled and giggled dragging Miroku by the hand to his room.
_________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________
Inuyasha sat on the couch, watching tv for about 10 minutes until he got totally bored and decided to check on Kagome. He stood in the doorway and looked at the raven-haired beauty laying in his bed. ‘Wow. She looks like an angel laying there. She is so beautiful. I don’t even deserve someone like her,’ he thought to himself.
“Inuyasha . . . ,” Kagome called out half asleep, opening her eyes to focus on the figure in the doorway.
“Yeah, it’s me,” he smiled walking further in the room.
“Why are you just standing there? Come lay next to me,” she said patting the empty space on the bed next to her.
“You sure? ,” he asked slowly approaching the bed.
“Yeah, of course Inuyasha. Don’t be so silly. Come lay next to me,” she smiled at him.
He slowly laid down on his back with his hands laced behind his head. Kagome moved closer to him, laying her head on his chest. He smiled and put his arm around her, as she snuggled against him and sighed.
“Hey, this is a lot better than standing there watching you sleep,” Inuyasha smiled as he made his comment.
“Yes, much better. Now hush so I can go back to sleep. I am suddenly very comfortable,” she giggled as she drifted back to sleep.
‘I’ve got to tell her how I feel. I’ve got to tell her who I really am. I want to tell her everything. I just gotta find the right time,’ Inuyasha thought as he slowly drifted to sleep himself.
______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________
Miroku and Sango were laying in the bed, however, Miroku really wasn’t sleepy at all. But he wanted to be close to Sango, so he opted to just lay there with her. They were laying on their side’s face to face. Miroku just stared at his resting koi, her eyes closed and her breathing softly caressing his mouth. He couldn’t help but to want to move in closer to her face, capturing her soft lips with his own. He only expected to steal a chaste kiss, but suddenly she slowly responded to his actions. She didn’t hesitate to show him that she was loving his attention. She slowly glided her tongue across his lips, seeking access into his mouth. He parted his lips giving her control, allowing her to explore his mouth with her soft tongue. The kiss went from chaste to a deep passionate kiss, as if they were trying to devour each others mouth. After a minute or two of heavy breathing and kissing, Miroku broke away with a puzzled look on his face.
“I thought you wanted to sleep,” Miroku said softly with a smile.
“Can’t a girl change her mind? ,” Sango smirked as she rolled him to his back.
She climbed up on top of him to straddle his waist. She slowly leaned down to capture his lips again in another heated kiss, Miroku wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer.
_______________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________
“Well, it looks like someone is having fun again,” Inuyasha sighed as he laid there next to a sleeping Kagome, not being able to help but to hear what was going on in the next room. ‘Damn my hanyou abilities,’ he thought as held Kagome’s sleeping form. ‘It’s not like that’s all I want. It’s just . . . being this close to her and all I can do is lay here holding her. She’s so soft . . . and she smells so good. Her lips are soft . . . and the taste . . . I wonder what the rest of her tastes like. Shit, now look what I’ve done,’ he thought as he looked down at the tent in his pants. ‘This is not the time to have a hard on. You see what you do to me Kagome,’ he smiled as he thought about what it would be like to be with Kagome. ‘I would never want her first time to be like this. She deserves much better. But now I have another problem,’ looking back down at his erection. He slowly rolled Kagome off of him and slid out of the bed.
Kagome stirred a little but she didn’t wake up. He made his way to the bathroom, but realized that Sango and Miroku had obviously moved their activities to the shower. “Kami, these guys are all over the place,” he mumbled under his breath trying to figure out how he was gonna fix his “problem.” He walked to the kitchen and got the ice tray out of the freezer. He popped a couple of cubes out of the tray, placed them in a glass with a little water and proceeded to open his pants to pour it down the front.
“Holy shit that’s cold! ,” he shouted and he tried to quickly remove the ice cubes from his boxers. “What the fuck was I thinking?”
“Hey Inuyasha, are you ok?” Sango asked as she came into the living room, looking over into the kitchen at Inuyasha. Miroku was right behind her.
“Now you guys come out the bathroom,” Inuyasha said with a huff.
“Sorry Inuyasha, I didn’t mean to make you go pee your pants,” Miroku snickered and pointed at the huge wet spot in front of his pants. Sango popped Miroku in the back of the head.
“Hey what was that for?” Miroku looked back at her with a frown holding the back of his head but she just rolled her eyes.
“Really funny Miroku. I didn’t pee my pants. I spilled my drink on them,” Inuyasha told Miroku hoping he would fall for his story. ‘That’s much better than saying, yeah I was fucking hard and I couldn’t take a cold shower cause you two were in it’.
“Yeah, well I hope you aren’t going to the party like that,” Miroku laughed.
“You’re such an ass Miroku,” Inuyasha said leaving the room.
Sango gave him a look. “What did I do?” Miroku said innocently as he shrugged his shoulders.
____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
Inuyash a went back to his room to get a change of clothes and Kagome was sitting on the edge of the bed.
“You’re up! ,” Inuyasha said surprised trying to hide the wet spot in front of his pants with his hands.
“Yeah, but what happened to you,” Kagome said giggling and blushing, trying not to stare at the spot too long.
“Nothing. I just spilled my water, that’s all. I just need a change of clothes so we can get ready to go,” he said half embarrassed at the fact that all this started because of his thoughts of Kagome.
“What time is it anyway?”
“It’s 8:00.”
“Wow, I was sleep that long? ,” Kagome said a little shocked. She really didn’t mean to sleep that long. I guess she could help it. She was so comfortable laying in Inuyasha’s arms.
“Yeah, I guess you were pretty tired,” he said walking to his closet and taking off his shirt. Kagome got a glimpse of his toned body before blushing and turning away.
“Inuyasha, you could at least warn me that you wanted to change clothes right this minute. That way I could leave and give you some privacy,” she smiled but he couldn’t see, because she was turned away from him.
“Keh . . . you know I’m not a shy person. The only reason I wear anything at all while I’m here is cause you and Sango are guests. I wouldn’t want to offend you or have Miroku freaking out about Sango’s delicate eyes again,” he laughed as he continued to get undressed. ‘Not like I would like to show you what I have to offer,’ he thought to himself and smirked.
‘It’s not like his naked body offends me. It’s just that if I see him naked I may not be able to control myself,’ she giggled and didn’t realize she had done so loud enough for Inuyasha to hear.
“Hey, what’s so funny,” Inuyasha asked curiously.
“Nothing, just laughing at what you said about Miroku commenting on Sango’s delicate eyes,” Kagome answered, knowing that’s not what she was really giggling about.
There were a few times where Inuyasha was caught by Sango in nothing but his boxers and a smile, which Sango never really minded, but Miroku found quite annoying.
“Well fine. Keep your eyes closed cause I’m not finished yet,” he said as he continued to strip and turned around to grab a pair of boxers out of his drawer.
Kagome could resist the urge to turn slightly looking out the corner of her eyes to sneak a peek of Inuyasha naked back side. ‘Wow, he really is tone all over I guess’, she thought as she quickly turned around trying to suppress a giggle and the thoughts of seeing the rest of him naked. It caused her to become slightly aroused and she blushed.
Inuyasha picked up on this and quickly slipped on his boxers and turned back around.
“Hey did you sneak a peek?” he smirked to himself because she wasn’t facing him.
“Of course not, why would you say that? ,” she blushed as she had realized she had been caught, but could figure out how. ‘Gee, does he have eyes in the back of his head or something. He couldn’t have seen me,’ Inuyasha spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
“Uh, I think it’s safe to turn around now,” he smiled.
She slowly turned around to see a fully clothed Inuyasha putting on some white gym shoes.
“So, does this mean that we are ready to go now? ,” she sighed like she didn’t even care that he was just naked, but Inuyasha knew better.
“Don’t know. Let’s go see if Miroku and Sango are ready,” he said as he placed his hand on the small of her back guiding her out of the room. It sent a shiver up her spine and she was even more aroused now. ‘Wow, I’m on a roll. I’ll have to make a mental note of that,’ he smirked as he lead her into the living room.
“So, you guys ready? ,” Inuyasha addressed Sango and Miroku.
“Yeah, we’re ready. Let’s go,” Sango answered getting up from the couch grabbing Miroku’s hand to lead him out the front door behind Inuyasha and Kagome.
_______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________
They arrived at the graduation party at around 8:45 and people were still arriving, even after they showed up. There were a few people hanging around outside in the yard and on the porch when they first arrived. Yumi’s house was huge, but not like a mansion or anything and she wasn’t what you would consider rich. However, both of her parents made a good living and they lived comfortably. As they walked into the house, there were tons of people everywhere. People sitting in the living room and dining room having casual conversation. Some in the kitchen making drinks and passing out beers. You could even catch random couples going up to the empty bedrooms. Outside on the deck in the backyard, you could hear the DJ playing Fall Out Boy’s “XO” while the guests were dancing and having a good time.
Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Kagome made their way through the living room to find Yumi and thank her for inviting them.
“So Miroku, you wanna go get the girls something to drink? ,” Inuyasha gave Miroku a look and motioned to the kitchen. It was obvious that Inuyasha wanted to talk to Miroku alone.
“Uh, sure. Ladies, if you’ll excuse us please,” Miroku said as he kissed Sango’s hand before following Inuyasha toward the kitchen.
“So what do you think that was about? ,” Kagome asked suspiciously.
“I’m not really sure. Probably just some guy stuff,” Sango giggled.
“Or Inuyasha wants to put the moves on you tonight and wants some friendly advice,” Sango smirked.
“Now, I know Miroku is a bad influence on you. It’s not like that, I’m sure. Besides I don’t think Inuyasha needs pointers on how to make a girl feel good,” Kagome giggled and blushed.
When the boys got in the kitchen, Inuyasha grabbed a beer and drunk it down in one breath.
“Thirsty much?” Miroku chuckled as he continued to sip his drink.
“Just nerves, I guess,” Inuyasha said as he nervously tapped his cup on the counter top.
“Why? Do you plan on making Kagome a woman tonight or something? ,” Miroku smirked and raised his eyebrows at Inuyasha.
“It’s not like that, Miroku. I’m gonna tell her . . . you know? ,” Inuyasha said as he touched his beads.
“Oh . . . you’re gonna tell her that. You mean today, right now?! ,” Miroku looked at Inuyasha surprised at what he was saying.
“Yeah, I can’t take it anymore. I have to tell her what I am before I tell her how I really feel about her. I’m in love with her,” Inuyasha smiled at Miroku finally being able to admit how he felt out loud and to Miroku.
“Wow. That’s great news Yasha. Go for it,” Miroku said over the music patting his friend on the back.
“Yeah, I just hope she doesn’t freak out when I show her what I really look like,” Inuyasha downed another beer before walking out of the kitchen to the living room.
The guys got back to the girls with their drinks in hand. Inuyasha brought Kagome back a soda because he knew she really didn’t like to drink any alcoholic beverages. Besides, he wanted her to be totally sober for what he planned for tonight.
“Glad you guys decided to come back,” Sango said sarcastically reaching for her cup.
“Yeah, what took you guys so long anyway? ,” Kagome asked suspiciously.
“Uh, there was a long line for something to drink in the kitchen. Um . . . Kagome, I need to talk to you alone, if that’s ok with you,” Inuyasha quickly changes subjects. He had more important things on his mind, as he stood there with his hand extended for Kagome to take.
Sango gave Kagome a look like she was saying “I told you so” and winked which made Kagome blush.
“I won’t hurt you Kagome. You do trust me, don’t you? ,” Inuyasha asked as he waited for her response, his hand still extended.
“Of course I trust you Inuyasha,” Kagome smiled as she took his hand and got up from the couch to take his hand.
_________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
Sango and Miroku waved to them as they walked off and up the stairs to the bedrooms. ‘Oh my Gods he’s taking me upstairs to the bedroom. What is he up to? He’s not gonna try to do ‘that’ is he? Not that I think I would mind. Shake that thought Kagome. Get your mind out of the gutter,’ she smirked to herself. Once they were upstairs in front of one of the bedrooms, Inuyasha knocked to see if it was occupied. With his enhanced hearing, he could hear some heaving breathing and moaning coming from the room.
“I think someone is in this room,” he smirked as he lead her down the hall to another bedroom.
He knocked on the door and listened for any noises from the room, but he didn’t hear anything, so he slowly opened the door. It was vacant, so they walked into the room and Inuyasha sat down on the bed, motioning for Kagome to sit down next to him. She nervously sat on the bed next to him, playing in her hair like she always did when she was nervous. Inuyasha sighed and took a deep breath before he finally spoke.
“Kagome I have something really important to tell you. There is something that you don’t know about me and I don’t want to hide it from you anymore,” he looked down on the floor, playing with his fingers.
“What’s wrong Inuyasha? Are you sick or something? ,” she asked with a worried look sliding a little closer to him, looking him in his eyes.
“No, I’m fine. It’s just . . . I’m not like other guys,” he said turning away again to stare at the floor. Kagome had never seen him so nervous. He was usually so confident about everything.
“I know you are different Inuyasha. You come off as a jerk most of the time, but you’re really a good guy,” she giggled.
“Hey, what exactly did you mean by that,” he sounded slightly offended at her statement.
“Nothing. Isn’t there something you were trying to tell me? ,” she quickly changed the subject, putting the focus of their conversation back on what Inuyasha had to say.
“Oh yeah. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is . . . well maybe I should just show you. But you have to promise not to scream, yakuosku? ,” he asked preparing himself.
“Yes, I promise Inuyasha. But why in the world would I scream? ,” she asked with a confused look etched on her face.
As she said that Inuyasha closed his eyes and braced himself as he took off his beads and awaited Kagome’s reaction. She flinched at first, not believing what she was seeing. She put her hand over her mouth, because she promised that she wouldn’t scream but she was totally taken by surprise to see two little fuzzy ears on top of Inuyasha’s head and the other ears totally disappear. Inuyasha opened his eyes because she hadn’t screamed so he had to see the expression on her face. She still had her hands over her mouth, but she had more of a shocked expression than a terrified one. Inuyasha couldn’t smell fear so that was good, at least he hoped. Inuyasha swallowed hard, before finally breaking the awkward silence.
“Kagome, are you ok? ,” he reached out to touch her but she jumped back. So he slowly lowered his hand and looked back down to the floor. ‘Oh shit, now she doesn’t even want me to touch her,’ he thought as he was getting up ready to leave.
Kagome took her hands from her mouth and reached out to grab him and stop him.
“Don’t go Inuyasha. I’m sorry . . . I’m just a little overwhelmed. I don’t want you to leave,” she smiled at him, her eyes still big, focusing on his ears.
Inuyasha relaxed and sat back down as Kagome slowly moved closer.
“Are those . . . dog ears? ,” Kagome asked with a puzzled look.
“Yeah,” Inuyasha answered still looking to the floor.
“Can I touch them? ,” she asked softly reaching out to his head.
Inuyasha wasn’t expecting her to ask to touch them. Nobody every asked to do that before. Even the few that didn’t freak out and run away never asked to touch them. He relaxed a little more.
“Yeah. If you want to, I guess,” he mumbled.
She reached up to stroke one of the furry ears and it twitched, which made her jump and giggle.
‘Did she just giggle? ,’ Inuyasha thought as he looked up at her and smiled.
She attempted to touch it again, rubbing it causing him to close his eyes and let out a low purr in his throat.
‘Did he just purr? That’s so kawaii,’ she thought as she continued to rub his ear.
“Inuyasha . . . ,” she called his attention, letting goes of his ear and scooting closer to him.
“Yeah . . . ,” he answered as he opened his eyes to look at her.
“What are you exactly? I mean . . . it’s obvious you are more than human,” she asked looking into his eyes like the answers were there.
“Well I’m an Inu-Hanyou. I’m half human and half dog demon,” he said matter-of-factly.
“A demon, but I though demons were evil and cruel,” Kagome was confused again.
“Yeah, some demons are, but not all demons are evil; even full demons.”
“So do you have a cute little tail too? ,” she smiled and giggled.
“No, I don’t have a tail. But I have claws and fangs.”
Kagome looked down to his hands and realized that he did indeed have claws. She grabbed his face to get a better look at his fangs.
“Fangs? Let me see,” she said motioning for him to open his mouth. He rolled his eyes playfully and opened his mouth so she could examine his mouth. She felt around rubbing his teeth with one of her fingers and accidentally pricked her finger with one of his fangs.
“Itai,” Kagome said as she pulled her finger out of his mouth and into her own sucking it.
‘She just had her finger all in my mouth and she had no problem putting her finger right in her own. Not to mention the way she’s sucking on it right now. I’m glad she’s not a hanyou right now,’ he smirked to himself.
He quickly shook those thoughts from his head. “Kagome you have to be more careful. My fangs can be very sharp,” he said with concern.
“I’m ok. It’s just a little prick on my finger. I’ll be fine,” she said as she took her finger out of her mouth and smiled at him.
Inuyasha smiled back realizing that she was totally comfortable with him even after his secret was out.
“So are there anymore things that come with being half demon? ,” Kagome asked curiously. She knew that couldn’t be it.
“Well I’m really fast and have good reflexes. I can also heal quickly and I’m really strong. Oh, and my senses are heightened. I can hear and smell things better than a regular person.”
“You mean you can smell things that no one else can?”
“Right. I can smell scents like food and flowers, even if they are far away. But I can also smell emotions or the scent someone gives off when they are in a certain emotional state. You know like fear or sadness . . . or if someone is happy, worried, or excited,” he said the last word with a smile.
“When you say excited, what do you mean? ,” she knew the answer, but just wanted to see what he was going to say.
“You know, when someone is turned on or aroused,” he said with a smirk.
“Oh, I see,” Kagome was trying to hide her face that was turning bright red. She quickly changed the subject to something less embarrassing. Now she realized that Inuyasha had more than likely caught her aroused scent several times.
“So, who else knows about you? ,” she said as her blush slowly faded.
“Well, Miroku knows and so do Kouga and Shippo.”
She looked down at the floor and played in her hair. “So, you never told Kikyo?”
“No, I haven’t told anyone in a very long time. I never thought that Kikyo would understand. I thought she would think I was a freak,” he said his head hanging low.
“Inuyasha how could you say such a thing? You’re not a freak,” Kagome said as she reached out to touch his hand that was sitting in his lap.
“Yeah, well up til now you are the only girl who hasn’t freaked out and ran away when I showed my true self,” he said in an almost sad tone.
“Why would I ever run away? You’re still you . . . you are still Inuyasha to me,” she said with a smile as she brushed the hair away that was hiding his face, as he turned to look at her.
“I knew I could tell you Kagome. I knew I could trust you, cause you’re my best friend,” he smiled back at her.
“And you’re my best friend Inuyasha,” she giggled and blushed.
“Oh, there is one more thing you should know.”
“I shouldn’t be worried should I?”
“I don’t think so. I just forgot to mention while I may be 20 in humans terms, I am actually . . . much older,” Inuyasha said as he played with his hands.
“How much older? ,” Kagome asked not really knowing what to expect him to say.
“Uh, about over . . . 500 years old,” he said the last part rather quickly.
“You’ve been around for more than 500 years? ,” she asked in disbelief. She knows she wasn’t expecting that.
“Ah, yeah. Youkai and hanyou have a long life span and don’t age as quickly.”
“Wow, is there anything else I need to know?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Good, because one more surprise and I could faint.”
Inuyasha laughed at her comment.
“Hey, that’s not funny. I was being serious. This is a lot for a girl to take in you know,” she playfully pouted and crossed her arms.
“Well, I guess I should wait til later to tell you my other secret,” he smirked hiding the fact that he was really still nervous.
“I thought you said you told me everything,” she gave him a look, like he was in big trouble if he wasn’t telling her everything.
“I did tell you everything. This has nothing to do with that. This is something else,” he said as he grabbed both of Kagmome’s hands.
Kagome could tell that what he had to say was important and that he was nervous which made her a little nervous.
“The first day I met you, I knew that there was something about you, other than you had a mouth on you and a temper to back it up,” he said and chuckled trying to make light of the situation to subdue some of his nervousness.
Kagome just rolled her eyes and Inuyasha laughed at her actions.
“Let me finish. I know we haven’t known each other that long, but I care for you so much. You are the sweetest, kindest, most caring people I know. And the fact that you didn’t bolt out of here when I told you I was a hanyou just helped me realize that I have to let you know.”
“Let me know what Inuyasha? ,” Kagome looked into his eyes.
Inuyasha swallowed hard. “I have to tell you that . . . that I . . . want you to be my girlfriend,” he said as he closed his eyes and held his breath waiting for a response.
Kagome jumped up and hugged him which shocked him.
“Is that a yes, then? ,” he said surprised at her response.
“Yes, of course I’ll be your girlfriend,” she said excitedly. She leaned into his face and looked into his eyes as she cupped his face and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
Inuyasha in return, kissed her back, deepening the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her. He broke the kiss as he smiled at her and took her by the hand.
“Come on, let’s get Miroku and Sango and get outta here,” Inuyasha insisted. There was no way that he wanted to get anything started between him and his new girlfriend at some party. She deserved way more than that.
“Are we going back to your place? ,” Kagome asked not wanting this night to end.
“You mean Miroku’s or home?”
“Wherever you are sleeping tonight,” she blushed. It wasn’t that she was expecting anything to happen. She just wanted to go to sleep next to Inuyasha tonight and wake up with him holding her.
“You sure you don’t wanna go home? It’s been a long day and I don’t want your mom to worry,” he said with genuine concern.
“It’s fine. I was supposed to be staying the night at Sango’s house, so she’ll think I’m there. Besides, I’d rather be with you,” she said as she smiled and squeezed his hand.
_________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
Meanwhi le downstairs, Miroku and Sango are outside in the backyard dancing when Kikyo showed up. Nobody knew she would be there because Yumi didn’t invite her, but she invited Hojo and Kikyo talked her way into Hojo taking her with him. When they showed up, instantly the trouble started. An acquaintance of Kikyo’s was there and let her know what was going on.
“Hey Kikyo, I didn’t know that Inuyasha had a new girlfriend. I mean you just dumped him,” the girl commented.
Kikyo had led them to believe she had dumped Inuyasha and not the other way around.
“What are you going on about? What exactly did you see? ,” she asked the girl, knowing it had to be Kagome she was speaking of.
“Maybe we should go powder our noses,” the girl motioned to the bathroom. She didn’t want to talk in front of Hojo.
“I’ll be right back. I have to go to the restroom. Ok?”
Hojo nodded, as she smiled and kissed him on the cheek. She quickly followed the girl into the restroom.
“So spill it already. What going on? ,” Kikyo said anxiously.
“I just thought you would like to know that he doesn’t seem too broken up over you dumping him. The way he’s been hanging around that Kagome girl makes me think maybe he broke up with you,” the girl said with a smirk.
“That’s nonsense. I broke up with him. And what do you mean he’s been hanging around her? When did you see them together? ,” Kikyo was really starting to get angry now.
“They are here together. I think they are upstairs in one of the bedrooms, I think. I saw them go up there about 45 minutes ago, but I don’t think I saw them come down,” the girl had that thinking look.
Now Kikyo was fuming. She wasn’t over Inuyasha and was determined to get him back and Kagome was upstair doing Gods knows what with “her” man.
“Don’t worry. I have a little surprise for that boyfriend stealing bitch.”
Kikyo busted out of the bathroom and walked right pass Hojo and headed for the stairs. Hojo was confused at why she looked so angry and followed her. Sango and Miroku had just come back in to get something to drink when they noticed that Kikyo was there and heading up the stairs.
“This can’t be good,” Miroku commented to Sango. He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her through the crowd toward the stairs.
Just as Kikyo was coming up the stairs, Inuyasha and Kagome were coming down the hallway. Kagome was walking in front of Inuyasha, with Inuyasha right behind her holding on to her at the hips and playfully kissing her neck. Kagome noticed Kikyo standing at the top of the stairs and stopped suddenly making Inuyasha run into the back of her, causing her to stumble forward away from Inuyasha.
“I told you to stay away from him. He’s mine!!,” Kikyo shouted at Kagome.
“Kikyo, he told you it was over. Why can’t you just get over it? ,” Kagome shouted back.
“GET OVER THIS!!,” Kikyo screamed as she lunged at Kagome, knocking her and Inuyasha to the floor. Kikyo pulled something small and shiny out of her purse and five loud sounds filled the room before she was tackled to the ground by Hojo and Miroku. Sango ran over to her friend and noticed all the blood that was pooling from under her limp unconscious body.
“KAGOME . . . NOOOOO!”
