InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Claimed ❯ A plan takes shape ( Chapter 1 )

Don't own them, if I did I wouldn't be writing this ;)

He stood in the thickness of the trees, carefully masking his scent from the keen nose of the hanyou not far away in the clearing. He watched the scene before him, a plan beginning to form in his mind…

They walked towards the well silently, hand in hand. Kagome, needless to say, was quite delighted by this new development. In her eagerness to get to the well, she had grabbed Inuyasha's hand and dragged him out of Kaede's hut. When he caught up with her, much to her relief, he left his hand right where it was, instead of jerking it away like he normally would have done. When they reached the well they just stood there silent still, neither wanted to break the hold or the stillness of the night. Before long however, Kagome released his hand and threw her arms around his neck drawing him in close for a hug.

And Inuyasha could not help but to respond, holding her slender body tightly against him. He inhaled deeply, letting her scent penetrate ever fiber in his being, down to his very soul. Her scent relaxed him, it always had, but this time he felt like he could never let her go, most certainly not back to the future where he was unable to protect her. He unconsciously started growling, surprising Kagome enough for her to pull out of the hug and looked into his eyes.

She was surprised to find them tinted red, filled with extreme possessiveness, more so than she had ever seen before. "Inuyasha" she called softly, bringing her hand up to brush against his cheek, startling him out of the state he was in. He looked down at her, tenderness in his eyes, and smiled, one of those rare heartfelt smiles that always seemed to melt her heart.

"I'll only be gone for two days" she whispered, half-afraid that speaking too loud would break the fragile moment between the two. Inuyasha nodded briefly, saying nothing, more from his lack of ability to speak then any lack of words. She turned soundlessly and was about to jump through the well, when much to Inuyasha's surprise, she turned back around and planted a quick kiss on his cheek, before launching herself off the edge and back to her own time.

Inuyasha sighed mournfully as he glared down into the darkness of the well. "If only I could tell you how much I love you," he said wistfully.

Sesshoumaru watched as his weak hanyou brother walked, no moped, back into the forest, probably heading to the tree that was covered in his scent. Inuyasha's private confession of love had surprised the youkai somewhat but he contributed it towards his pathetic human side. What had really surprised him though, was the young miko wench throwing herself down a well while his brother calmly watched.

He waited several moments, unsure of what to do, when he hesitantly stepped into the clearing and approached the mysterious well. He peered down into its dark depths, seeing nothing. Sniffing the air around him gingerly, he found that the wench's scent was lingering but the source completely gone. He puzzled at this, how could she just suddenly disappear? As he thought over various scenarios he made his way back to his hiding spot in the trees. `Two days, she had said, before she would return. I can wait two days.'

~~~~~

He was beginning to get impatient. Two whole days he had waited, hiding from his foolish half-brother who moped around the well waiting just as impatiently for the stupid ningen wench to return. The sun was starting to set and just as he was about to leave her scent suddenly filled the area almost assaulting his senses. He snorted derisively at Inuyasha, who came racing towards the well and jumped in only to come back out a few seconds later with the miko, and after setting her down carefully, continued to jump around her excitedly, looking very much like a puppy whose master had just returned home.

He smiled evilly as the plan took shape in his mind. This would be easy. Too easy. He laughed out loud and vanished into the night, leaving only his spies behind to guard the well.

Okii, I know I said I'd finish the other one but this popped into my head and I couldn't get it out. So here we all are.
