InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Calling out her name ❯ Comfort in the Darkness ( Chapter 4 )

A/N: Hey everybody! Did you like the last chapter? I tried to lighten the mood at the end of the chapter. Well this chapter has some angst on Kagome's part but there will be some lime. But no lemon yet, sorry. This story just wouldn't be interesting if I just put a lemon in this chapter. You're just going to have to wait a little bit more. Lol! Any way, on to the story.

 

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Inuyasha just watch him.

 

`Thoughts'

“Speaking”

 

 

 

Chapter 4: comfort in the Darkness (Revised)

 

 

 

 

`I thought I meant something to him!'

Kagome kept running, the trees flying by her, soon becoming green blurs.

`Why does Kikyou always have to come between us?' Kagome thought furiously.

She paused and looked around her. She noticed a grassy clearing up ahead and headed towards it. Once she reached the clearing, she stood in the middle, letting the silver rays of the moon bathe her in their light. She sank to her knees and gazed up at the sky, which was ablaze with a thousand pinpricks of light.

`So beautiful'

She raised her hand to the glowing moon, as if trying to touch it.

Kagome looked away from the moon and gazed at the many stars in the black velvet like sky.

`Sometimes I wish I where Kikyou so just once I can feel what its like to be in his arms, to be able to bathe in the warmth of his love, to know that he's looking at me not someone else.'

Sighing Kagome turned onto her side.

`Maybe I should just go back to my time and not come back…. But I have a duty here… I can't be selfish and just leave because I don't have what I want.'

Rolling back to lie on her back she looked back up at the moon.

`I just wish…'

Her eyes began to burn, hot tears collected in her eyes, then slipped down her pale cheeks to gently land on the soft grass. Her eyes slid closed and she saw vague glimpses of his smiling face, his cute ears twitching with interest.

`I just wish he would look at me the same way he looks at her… why can't he love me?'

Lifting her hand, she wiped her tears away, when the small hairs on the back of her neck began to stand on end.

`Someone's watching me.'

Sitting up she looked around.

“Who's there? Show yourself!”

She gasped after she saw a glimpse of red coming from the darkness.

“Inuyasha I thought I told you not to follow me! Can't I be alone for a minute!?” Jumping from the branch he had been sitting on, he turned to Kagome, concern evident in his golden depts.

“Why are you crying?” He asked, ignoring her earlier comment.

Kagome felt a hot tear slide down her cheek she moved to wipe the wet trail away but froze when she felt Inuyasha's finger on her cheek catching the tear on its decent. Startled, Kagome quickly looked up into Inuyasha's golden eyes raising a questioning eyebrow.

“Inuyasha what are….”

“Why are you crying?” Inuyasha asked softly stroking Kagome's soft cheek with his finger. She looked back down and started to nervously play with the end of her skirt.

“I… I don't know I guess because I feel sad about…some things.”

“What kind of things?” Inuyasha asked gliding his finger down her cheek to her chin, lifting her face so that she would look at him.

“Are you crying because of me?”

Kagome looked away trying not to get caught up in the emotions swirling in his eyes.

“N…no it's not you.” she lied.

Inuyasha's hand dropped to hang limply against his side and he lowered his head.

“Why are you lying to me?”

Inuyasha took a step back and sat down on the grass looking down in his lap.

`What's going on here? Why is he being so nice to me?' Kagome thought trying to catch Inuyasha's eyes.

“Inuyasha?” Inuyasha didn't look up but his ears turned towards her.

“Inuyasha…look at me…” He reluctantly looked up and caught Kagome's studying gaze.

“Inuyasha…I have secrets too…just like you refuse to tell me of your past, I have things I also keep to myself.” She implied while bringing her hands to Inuyasha's silver bangs and brushed them out of the way. Her hand then traveled down to his cheek and she gently cupped his soft cheek, her thumb caressing his soft lips. As soon as she realized what she was doing she froze, and then quickly pulled her hand away, only to have it caught in Inuyasha's clawed hand. Gasping in surprise she quickly looked back up at him.

“Inuyasha…What…?”

Before she could finish, she was pulled into his embrace. Tensing up, Kagome just sat there stunned at Inuyasha's show of affection.

Inuyasha bent his mouth close to Kagome's ear causing Kagome to shudder feeling his breath whisper across the sensitive shell of her ear.

“ Kagome I know your crying about me…I…I don't only think of you as my shard detector…you are much more to me then that.”

Kagome's eyes widened.

“Kagome I need you, I've always needed you, I can't stand not having you by my side.”

She lowered her gaze to her lap and fidgeted a bit.

“But Inuyasha what about…Kikyou.”

Sighing slightly Inuyasha pulled back and placed his hand on Kagome's soft cheek.

“Kagome I do still love her…” Kagome lowered her gaze as pain coursed through her heart. “ But the Kikyou I love died 50 years ago…” confused Kagome looked back up at Inuyasha's face questionably.

“I feel that I am responsible for her death and that is why I have promised my life to her…when this is all over I will be going to hell with her…” Kagome looked back down to her hands in her lap in obvious disappointment.

“But that doesn't mean I don't care about you… but no matter how much I want to stay with you…I can't, I have already given my word and that's the only thing I have left… that's the reason why we cant get close; I don't want to raise your hopes and then break your heart in the end…Kagome look at me....”

Kagome looked back up at him with tears once again in her eyes threatening to follow the ones that came before.

`God I wish I could stay with you Kagome you don't know how much I love you but I can't. My fate is already sealed with Kikyou'

Sliding his eyes closed he tried to suppress the urge to kiss her. But when he opened his eyes and they landed on her innocent face he couldn't resist. Before he could lose his nerve, he leaned in and slid his lips across Kagome's. Breathing in sharply at the bolt of pleasure that coursed through his body at the slight contact. Pulling back he watched as Kagome slowly opened her slightly dazed eyes.

Kagome felt a strong sense of deja vu come over her. She got the feeling that something wasn't right and a sudden wave of terror hit her. She quickly pulled out of Inuyasha's embrace and stood up taking a couple steps back from Inuyasha.

Startled, Inuyasha looked up at her with bewildered eyes.

“Kagome what's the matter did I do something wrong?” Inuyasha asked.

“St…stay away from me please…just stay away.”

Kagome quickly turned around and ran back into the dark forest never looking back. Inuyasha watched her retreating figure smelling her fear in the air. He slid down to his knees and looked down at his clawed hands as blinding pain was sent from his heart throughout his body.

`She rejected me.' he thought stunned at what had just happened.

`I thought Kagome, out of anyone, would want me for me…'

Standing back up; anger started to take the place of the pain. A dark cloud swirled up around him and the echoes of a scratchy voice filled the clearing. When he looked up to where Kagome had headed red was bleeding in around his eyes his anger rising….

`You will not reject me Kagome…if you are not going to be with me you will be with no one'

Where his last thoughts before his eyes turned a blood red color and all intelligent thought was locked behind a haze of blood lust.
