InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Can't Stop Loving You ❯ Part One ( Chapter 1 )

---

Another normal day in the Feudal Era was just beginning to take place. The birds were waking, and chirping, the sun was coming over the mountains, Dew was beginning to dry up from the night before. A normal day. Well, as normal as it could be for a certain blooming couple. InuYasha, the handsome, silver haired inu-hanyou, and Kagome, the beautiful, slim, raven-haired girl from five hundred years in the future, who had fallen down a well in her shrine one day, and slowly fell in love with the dog demon.

But InuYasha had had his eyes on another woman 53 years prior to this moment; Kikyou, the priestess that Kagome had been reincarnated as. But, in a fatal accident, Kikyou, who had been brought back from the tragic death three years ago, had been hit by Inuyasha's Backlash Wave, which had been the murder attack of choice during the final battle with their nemesis; Naraku.

Kikyou, thinking that she was powerful enough to finish off Naraku herself, wouldn't listen to Inuyasha, who was telling her to ‘Move her ass or it’s going with him’. He had no choice, though. Even thought he had already made up his mind on which woman he loved (Kagome), it still hurt to have to kill his former love with Naraku.

But, he carried out his words, and now it was all over. The jewel was almost complete, minus the shards in Kouga's legs, and the one in Kohaku’s back. But, what can start out a normal day, can become completely berserk in a moments time. Kagome had some news that she had to tell the group, but it was going to be hard.

'This is going to be hard. Maybe I should just leave, without word?' the raven-haired Kagome had internally-argued with herself about her decision as she walked from the well that separated her from the Feudal Era, and her love.

‘No. I have to at least tell InuYasha. He deserves to know.’

She didn't notice as she almost walked into a tree trunk, an old one. A familiar one. But, an outstretched hand thrust towards her before she could hit it. She looked up and saw the beautiful amber orbs of the man that she had slowly fallen on love with over the past three years.

Although, he had never said anything yet, InuYasha was just as in love with Kagome, as she was with him, if not more.

Pulling her close to him, he embraced her and placed his face into her hair, and smelled her scent. Lavender-Vanilla. Yes, that was what she smelled of.

"You might want to watch where you’re heading, or next time, you’re going to break your nose walking into the tree," the inu-hanyou smart-alecky remarked. She blushed, at the sudden show of affection, not that she wasn't happy about it.

"S-sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking." Kagome said as she felt the embrace tighten just a little.

'Maybe this is going to be harder than I thought...'

"I. . . InuYasha? I have to . . . tell you something. . ." she trailed off. Before he could ask what the problem was, she stopped him, "But, not here. I want to be somewhere else. Come with me please," she said as she entwined her fingers with his and led him to ‘somewhere else‘.

The place she brought him was a field. No, not a normal field, one you see every time you venture out of the busy part of a city. This field, it had sakura trees circling it, and all scattered around the middle were the petals of the blossoms scattered around with the wild flowers.

She walked him over to one of the trees, and sat down under it, motioning for him to follow. She closed her eyes and took a big breath, taking in the scent of all the blossoming flowers, of the little pond off to the side of the field, and the smell of the grass, mixed in with he flowers. She just sat there, breathing slowly, and listening to the sound of the birds sing, but today the bird’s song was different. They sung almost a sad song. A sad one just for Kagome, because she had made a decision that would make her be unhappy for a good portion of the rest of her adolescence.

Waiting patiently, Inuyasha studied the girl that had fallen in love with him in the first year they met. Yes, he had fallen in love with her around the same time, but was way too stubborn and dense to realize what the feelings he had towards her had been.

Feeling that he had waited long enough, he rested his hand on her shoulder and gently nudged her.

"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about, Kagome?" She could feel the tears suddenly brimming up in her eyes already.

"InuYasha. . . I, uh, I. . . .” she paused and took a deep breath, “I'm not getting far stuttering, am I?" she half asked, half commented, stupidly.

"Not. . . really," was his reply, not knowing much to say.

"Okay. . . We are done with the jewel shards, except for the ones with Kouga and Kohaku. And Naraku is dead, so I guess that we've pretty much accomplished everything here, haven't we?" Inuyasha slowly nodding his head.

"Your leaving me--us, aren‘t you? You‘ve decided to go to your side of the well, huh?" she sat there; stunned that he would even think a thing. She opened her mouth to respond before she realized that she didn’t have a clue what to say.

Her smile was supposed to be a re-assurance, but it came as more of a grimace and she got to her knees to look him in his eyes. She made her way over until she was straight in front of him, almost in-between his bent knees. His face tinged pink when he looked forward, straight into her breasts.

Fearing getting sat, he quickly looked back up into her eyes to see her grinning at him. Half because she wanted to see how far she could push him, she leaned forward, putting her elbows on his shoulders and one of her hands playing with one of his puppy ears. She smiled when his eyes widened and his face flushed dark.

"I'm not leaving you. . . You see. . . Since I've been in the feudal era, I've missed a lot of school. And I need to get caught up. There's this great school . . . in. . . . America, that helps students that are behind get back ahead in their work. It helps them through what they missed. And my principal, the person in charge of the school, was kind enough to get me a scholarship to the school! I would really like to go, and I think it will help me a great deal. The school is among the top 50 schools in the world.

“The thing is, I would have to go for two years, and only come back during summer and winter vacations." the young miko finished, and by the end, tears were threatening to streak down her face.

She hated crying, not because she got a little red in the face, or because she seemed weak, but mainly because Inuyasha hated it. He hated seeing her cry. And now that she had finished her tale, he had no idea of what to say. He wanted so badly to tell her that she couldn't go, that she had to stay there with him, so he could find the courage to tell her how much he really loved her, so that he could kiss her, embrace her, help her, heal her. To become one with her, to take the final step in their relationship, and to have pups with her, to have her and to hold her even after they both die off.

But, he couldn't say anything. He knew how much the ‘scholarship’ meant to her, and he wasn't going to take that away from her. He could tell that she had tried so hard to get caught up in her school work that she even stayed up in the middle of the night just to read a new section. She needed to finish her education, but he didn't think that two whole years away from her would bring him any sign of happiness. But, alas, it wasn't about him, it was about the loved, beautiful miko in his arms, and he could only say one thing.

"O... oh. Okay. . . But, do you will be… happy? Is it really going to help you?"

"If it doesn't help, then I'll leave. Simple as that. Though, it will be a lot of money for the plane rides, I think we could manage to give me a trip back if I don't like it. I really need this." she answered, tears still threatening to fall. He was about to spit out his usual ‘Keh!’ and leave it at that, but one sneaky tear slid down her face.

"Well. . . I guess. . . If this is what you want, then don't let me be the one to stop you. It seems pretty stupid to me but . . . I don't know what else to say."

'Great, she’s crying. Why can’t I be just a little bit more of a pompous ass than I already am and demand she stay? Damn her tears to Hell!’ that was what his mind thought, but his mouth and his mind were not on the same page that day.

"Oh. . . Okay. . . Then, you’re going to let me go?"

"Keh. What, you think that I‘m going to be able to stop you this time? You always seem to wiggle your way through every other time I tell you to stay," he answered, but the tone of his voice did no justice to his harsh words.

"When does this school start?" he asked, lifting her up off him and turning her around, quickly wiping his eyes.

"Well, it starts in a few weeks actually, so I might as well start packing as soon as I want to." turning around soon enough to see him put his arms down from his face.

'Oh, no, was he just . . . crying? No, it's InuYasha, silly, he's too tough to cry,’ she smiled at him and he stared back at her, his scowl down for once.

After a week of arrangements with the school, tears from Kagome and all the family and friends that she would be leaving, packing for her long trip to the United States (InuYasha still didn't know what it was), and saying goodbye to many people, Kagome was finally on her final walk to the well, the old well that would be bringing her five hundred years into the future, to her, as InuYasha thought (and secretly Kagome), doom.

When she reached the well, Inuyasha right by her side, she turned, looking into the beautiful, amber orbs that she loved so much. When she felt her eyes brim with tears, she turned away and faced the well.

"Well, I guess. . . I'm leaving now, Inuyasha." by this time, the tears were streaking down her cheeks, "Onegai, don't be afraid to come to my time and visit my family. Onegai, call me. I'm pretty sure you don't know how a phone works, but my mother will show you, and you can call me whenever you visit, and you can talk to me, as long as I'm not in class, or anything. Don't refrain from coming to the future, because I will surely be heartbroken if I don't h-hear fr-from you." By this time, she was positively sobbing. She couldn't get the words out, so she just stopped trying. She turned to face him, forcing a smile for his sake but not even trying to hide the tears.

"Kagome. . . I will come, probably spend a lot of time there; there’s nothing to do here anyways. There’s so many things that I want to say right now, but I don't know how to put them… But… I know one things for sure. . ." 'I love you.’

He had just enough time to look into her eyes, before he thrust forward his face and captured her lips. I was not just a 'goodbye for a while' kiss as much as it was an 'I love you, but I can't voice it just yet' kind of kiss. He hoped she realized this.

Putting his hand behind her neck for more support, he deepened the kiss, licking her lips, and asking for entrance, She wasn't sure what would happen, or really what to do, but she trusted him, and parted her lips.

She felt as his tongue came into her mouth, searching every nook and cranny of her mouth, like a wild, rabid dog, which was hungry. He wanted more, but knew he couldn't, and shouldn't. The kiss coming to an end, he pulled away from her lips just far enough that they weren't quite touching, but she could feel his breaths on her lips.

Panting, she looked up into his eyes, finally seeing the pain from the whole ordeal of her new school. She grabbed his haori from the back and pulled him into an embrace, putting her ear next to his heart, and listened to the fast beating.

"InuYasha. . .”

"You should probably be going now…" he stated, pulling his arms around her in return.

"Yes, that would be wise. I will miss you." she paused, "Can you do me one last favor?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Kiss me. . . Again. . ." She looked up at him with a timid look. He smiled down at her.

And complied.
