InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cold Fire ❯ Forgiven ( Chapter 15 )

Forgiven

 

 

Kagome walked briskly down the driveway, her face flustered from her loosing attempts not to cry. She was confused. She felt something happening but couldn't point it out. What was it about the man she had just left inside the house that had her acting up like this? Your 18 dammit! Don't you dare cry Kagome Hirugashi. He isn't feeling this way and that's the exact reason you need to tear yourself away from him. Just as she was about to agree with herself, her self contradicted…herself. That necklace! It has to have some meaning to it. No one would ever just up and buy a necklace like that. Look at him! You saw it in his eyes just a mere few seconds ago Kagome! Stop being a bitch and go back in there.

But her pride wouldn't let her.

 

Inuyasha sat on the living room floor for a good while before he finally stood. He was in a daze at how Kagome had handled the situation. It was too…coordinated. Not like her. He needed some air. Stretching for his sneakers under the sofa, he pulled them on, went outside and disappeared into the dense forestry.

 

Sota watched his sister slowly open the front door and step in. He never asked her where she was coming from ever because it was never his business but today her face had a saturnine look to it..

“You okay sis?”

Kagome turned surprisingly fast on her heels, obviously startled to see him.

“Sota. Yeah I'm good. Just a little going away blues.”

“ We have a whole `nother week here. Any loose ends you have, now would be a good time to tie them up.”

Kagome smiled genuinely knowing that Sota hadn't the slightest clue how close to home those word had hit.

 

 

Inuyasha walked quickly, tearing branches violently out of his way as he walked. He was defeating the whole purpose of the walk. He was not clearing his head and he was definitely not calm. He was extremely mad with himself for what happened this morning, but more importantly, he was mad because he had no idea what to do. Caught up in his own thought, he walked until he reached the lake; he almost fell into it. The water sent out little ripples from the shore where the toe of his sneakers had disturbed the placidity of the water. As the ripples went out they got bigger and more defined then wider as they disappeared. Inuyasha tapped the water's surface again just to see the well coordinated dance play out once more. As he pulled back his shoe, he felt something crunch between the sole of his shoe and the smooth dirt by the lake shore. Looking down, he saw something that was obviously out of place in the picture. A single pink barrette in the shape of a butterfly with tiny pink rhinestones around it. Even though it was half buried in the mud and dirt had hidden its features, Inuyasha recognized it. When he was undressing Kagome in his room upstairs the day of their fateful meeting, he had dried her hair and a barrette identcal to this one had clamored to the floor from the towel. He thought that it was just one but he now knew it came from a pair. Bending down, he picked it up out of its sorry state in the mud. He wiped it off as much as he could before putting it in his shorts pocket. He didn't take his hand out of his pocket however. He continued to turn the barrette in his hand inside his pocket as his mind wandered off. He thought of a lot of random things, his troubled childhood, his struggles to establish himself, his sister and Kagome. When his thoughts drizzled off, he inhaled deeply. He felt calm for a second before a brilliant plan made its way into his head.

 

Kagome finished one more mission before she shut off her Metal Gear Solid video game. She had zeroed the game before but it was an awesome game and it never got old. She threw down the controller and looked at the time at the bottom of the TV; 5:22 . Kagome flopped back in her bed as she put the channel on some movie she had already seen. Apart from the incident over Inuyasha earlier, the day had been productive. Most of her things that she wasn't using were packed away and she was getting used to the idea that she was leaving. Listening to the TV, she soon fell to sleep.

 

 

“Please Sango! I never ask you to do anything! Just do this one thing for me!” Inuyasha begged.

“But Inuyasha!” She whined over the phone, “ She will think I've betrayed her trust! What are you going to do?”

“ This plan is foolproof. She will love you after this.”

“She already loves me, you're the only one she doesn't love.”

“Sango. Please.” His voice was awashed with desperation.

“ Fine but if this backfires you better get me out of it or I'll never forgive you.”

“Deal. Now do it.”

“Don't rush me.”

“I love you Sango.”

“Whatever.” Inuyasha hung up. Sango looked over at her companion in the bed beside her. She would want Inuyasha to help her get him back if she ever did something to screw up. Turning back to the hotel phone, she pressed flash and dialed the hotel front desk.

 

Kagome jumped out of her sleep as her cell phone rang Linkin Park's `Faint'. Slowly reaching for it she looked at the screen, private call. Accepting the call, she put the phone to hear a managed a groggy hello.

“Kagome? Its Sango.”

“Oh. Hey Sango. Where you calling from?” Kagome had both her cell and her home number in her phone so she had to be calling from somewhere to come up as private.

“I'm at a hotel with Miroku now.”

“He's here? I wanna meet him. Can I?”

“Yeah, but not now. Listen, can you do me a favor?”

Kagome was fully awake and alert now as she heard mischief in her friends voice. “ Sure, what?”

“Get dressed and meet me at the restaurant.”

“Umm, now?”

“Yeah, I have a surprise for you.”

“Honestly Sango, I loved the bracelet.”

“That's not it. Just get dressed and meet me there in half an hour.”

“Umm okay…?”

“Great see you there.”

Kagome listened until the line went dead.

Half an hour later, Kagome took up her car keys off the glass table in the foyer. Her mother was passing at the same time and saw her.

“Will you be long Kagome?”

“I'm not sure. I'm going to meet Sango. If it gets late I'll call.”

Her mother nodded and walked away. Kagome was proud of the relationship that had slowly formed over the summer between herself and her mother. It was surprisingly ok. She smiled and walked out the door.

 

Inuyasha looked around to make sure everything was in place. She would be there any minute.

 

Kagome turned into the parking lot of the restaurant and found a spot. Right off the bat she realized that no other cars were in the lot. Strange. Maybe Miroku or Inuyasha dropped her off. But still, what about diners? She looked at the digital readout on her dashboard. It was only after 8. There should be people dining. Shrugging off her intuition, she gathered her sweater and got out of the car.

 

Kagome pushed the oriental style doors of the restaurant open and gasped quite audible at what she saw. The entire dining area was well lit by tall elegant candles at each table; however, there was one table in the center of the room that was elaborately dressed with what looked like exquisite fabrics from the east, and a dainty candelabra adorning the table. The floor was littered with what appeared to be rose petals. The room was empty save for one person; Inuyasha. He stood beside the tables in a black polo shirt and black pants. The black in addition to the dim lighting made his milky skin and his long silver hair seem to glow. Stepping cautiously, to avoid crushing as much petals as she could, she made her way over to Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha, what's going on? Where is Sango?”

“I'm not really sure about that, but she's not here.”

Kagome stopped a distance away from him and peered at him. His liqid amber eyes showed no sign of distrust. “She told me to meet her here but I guess I'm going to have to leave and come back.” She turned to leave but Inuyasha quickly closed the gap between them and grasped her hand lightly. Kagome turned to him to shout but when she saw his eyes she stopped. He smiled politely.

 

“Sango isn't coming. I asked her to make you come here.”

“Why?”

“Do I honestly need a reason to want to see you Kagome?”

She remained silent. Inuyasha tugged gently on her hand and led her to the center table. After seating her, he sat down himself. He eyed her up and down from across the table and soaked in her attire. Her legs splayed from beneath a lime green pleated skirt and ended in a pair of white strapped sandals. Her upper body was molded by a white pheasant top that fell off the shoulders, while her hair fell in waves down to her back, held out of her face by a white band. She wore no neckpiece or jewelry except two simple pairs of small silver hoops. Kagome looked down on the table and saw that they were little candies strewn across the table, most of them shaped like butterflies. She wondered why.

“Um, Inuyasha, what's all of this for?”

“You.”

Kagome gasped annoyed and opened her mouth to reply but Inuyasha stopped her. “Kagome, before you start on how little of sense this whole, charade- as you so kindly put it this morning-, let me sate my case.” He shifted in the chair and pulled a small box out of his pocket. It was wrapped in a gold foil to give the illusion of a gold box. “This morning after our whole conversation, I went for a walk in the woods. At first I was angry and frustrated with you and myself but when I reached the lake something happened. I made ripples.”

“You made ripples?” Kagome interjected, staring at the golden box.

“Yeah, I made ripples on the waters surface. But the ripples made me think about something. It simply said that as bad as things are and even when they are getting worse, there is always an end and they will gradually fade.”

Kagome threw him a skeptical look.

“You got all of that from water?”

“It was like a hidden meaning behind the water but yeah, all of that from water.” Kagome tilted her head in bewilderment. He continued. “But then after that, I found something on the ground that tied it all together. It tied you, me the water and everything together.” Kagome piqued up as he pushed the golden box across the table around the candelabra, in front of her. Kagome looked from him to the box and back again until Inuyasha egged her on. “Go ahead. Open it.”

“I'm not accepting anymore gifts from you Inuyasha. It's not proper and as I said, it's too committing.”

“I'm not giving you a gift. I'm returning your property.”

Kagome looked at the box before she slowly picked it up off the table. Inuyasha's face remained unchanging as she lifted the top off the box and peered inside. Reaching inside the box, Kagome pulled out the glistening object. Unsure of what it was in the dim lighting, she inquired.

“What is it?” She twirled it between her index finger and her thumb.

“Your barrette. I found it in the dirt by the lake shore.”

Kagome eyes the disfigured object and soon saw that it was indeed a barrette. “I accidentally stepped on it.” Even though it was disfigured, it had been cleaned and shined and could be worn again.

“This is mine?”

“Yes. It fell out the day you fell in the lake. And remember I gave you the other one when you woke up in my room.”

“I guess.” Kagome responding half truthfully. That day was kinda fuzzy in her memory. It seemed so long ago. Inuyasha looked at her expectantly so she clipped the barrette at the end of her hair not knowing where the other one was. “Thanks Inuyasha but you really did have to get it back. I would have gotten another one.”

“It's not the barrette itself Kagome.” He sighed heavily. “Look past the barrette and think.”

Kagome looked into the dim light and thought. After a few moments, she whispered one single word; Hope.

“Yes. What about hope?”

“Umm, there's always hope and new beginnings?”

“Exactly.” He stood. Kagome's eyes watched him intensely. “Can we start again?”

“Start what?”

“Everything.” His voice had a tone of finality. He extended his hand to her and removed a remote from his back pocket with his other hand. Clicking a single button, music flooded the room and he pushed the remote back in his pocket. “Dance with me.” Kagome sat at her seat and looked at him before bursting into a giggling fit.

“You're not serious are you?”

“Very serious.” He pulled her hand from off the table and dragged her violently towards him. Enveloping her in his arms, Inuyasha began to sway slowly. Kagome's hands were pinned at her side but she didn't struggle at all. This was okay with her.

 

 

Inuyasha felt Kagome's heart beat slow eventually. She became pliant in his arms as the swayed gently to the music. He loosened her hands and soon felt her slowly grip his back.

“You did this all by yourself?”

“Mostly. Sango helped out a bit.”

Kagome drew back from him and gave him an acerbical look. “Sango set this up?!”

Inuyasha quickly pulled his sister out of the crossfire. “No! I forced her t lure you here and she gave me tips to make the place look nicer but that's it.”

Kagome looked around once more before she rested her head back in the cradle of Inuyasha's shoulder.

“You closed the restaurant for this?”

“Yeah I did. This was kinda like my last chance and I really couldn't afford to mess it up.”

“What made you think this was your last chance?” They were no longer dancing in tune to the music but now just swaying lethargically like they were both inert.

Because this morning, I saw a woman capable of making critical decisions on her own and I saw a woman who was on the verge and fed up with a whole lot of shit going on in her life.”

Kagome remained quiet. She had little scruples to what Inuyasha had just said so instead she changed the topic. “Are we going to dance all night? I'm a bit hungry.”

Inuyasha laughed. A deep enigmatic laugh that still sent shivers down her spine. He let her go and stepped back. “I cooked too. Hold on let me get the food. I left it in the kitchen.” He turned and strode away from her before disappearing behind the swinging doors at the far end of the restaurant. Kagome went back to her seat and pulled her cell phone out of her purse. Dialing a number, she waited for the other end to connect.

“Sango! What the hell is this?!”

“It was all Inuyasha's idea! I just fueled it.” She sounded guilty and petulant.

“Why?”

“Quite honestly, I expected ya'll to make up from the night of the party but I guess you were too wasted to do anything and be conscious of it the next morning.”

Kagome thought. Obviously Inuyasha hadn't shared with her what happened this morning and she probably didn't know about the necklace he had given her. Sango's voice broke her brainstorm. “Look Kagome. I would never do anything that's detrimental to you so you can kill me later. Right now just enjoy yourself.”

“Fine.” Kagome answered stubbornly.

“And try not to be a bitch.” Sango interjected before the line cut off.

Kagome smiled before she closed the phone and stood. Breathing deeply, she mental prepared herself and followed Inuyasha behind the swinging doors.

 

 

 

Inuyasha placed the final plate on the rolling tray; a chocolate soufflé that in reality he hadn't truly prepared himself. He turned to move the tray when he saw Kagome standing by the door, coolly leaning against the door jam. Startled a bit, he quickly regained aplomb and his composure. Noticing her body language Inuyasha inquired.

“Are you okay Kagome?” She no longer had that doe eyed look anymore from when they were dancing. Instead she had a very seductive look in her eyes like that of a well experienced paramours; A vixen. Her arms were folded across her chest that did much to enhance her already protruding breast.

“Just wondering why you were taking so long. I had no idea you made such a feast for lil' ole me.” At that point she uncrossed her hands and placed them on her chest for added dramatic effect.

“ ` lil' ole me'? What the hell is that?” Inuyasha had to hold his ground. He refused to fall for anything she was planning. The music from outside had changed again and was calmly floating into the kitchen to add atmosphere to the incipient situation. Kagome gave a veritable laugh and stood up from the door jam. She walked over to Inuyasha and looked up at him before sighing lightly and brushing a light kiss across his lips. She looked at him uncertain for a minute before tipping to give him a full blown kiss. Throwing her arms around his neck, she pressed herself onto him which caused him to stumble backwards. However, he caught himself in time and caught her waist. Pouring himself into the kiss, he counterweighed her. The kiss became wild and demanding as they performed a violent dance inside the delicate cavern of their mouths. Kagome ran her across his neck and gripped his shoulders violently. Inuyasha pushed away.

“Kagome! What the hell has gotten into you.”

“Fuck now, ask questions later.” She leaned back in to continue but Inuyasha held her at bay.

“Whoa. Hold on. I never planned on have sex with you.”

“Then what the fuck was all this shit for?” She motioned her hand to the tray over laden with food. Inuyasha could see the old, virago girl that he met at the beginning of the summer coming out.

“I just wanted to make amends with you.”

“Well we're cool now; can we please finish what we started? I'm extremely horny!”

Inuyasha gave her a quizzical look before he quickly hauled her over his shoulders and walked out of the kitchen.

 

In his office, Inuyasha unceremoniously threw Kagome on the couch. She landed with a blast of air expelling itself from her mouth. She daggered her eyes at Inuyasha who had now turned away from her.

“What the fu—“ She began but was rudely cut off.

“You act like this is nothing for you when I can read that scared expression in your eyes.” Kagome stared into his unfathomable eyes and still could not read them. She watched in surprise as he began to pull his shirt over his head. “I'm actually surprised you just told me that you're horny because at least now you have some idea how I felt this morning when you walked out on me and I was extremely horny.” The muscles on his chest were now flexing as he worked on his belt and pants. He paused briefly to look at her. “Undress now.”

“Excuse me?” What have I done?! This…this beast in front of me has gone mad. He wouldn't really do anything after our little heart to heart a few seconds ago, would he? Kagome felt her heart beat speed up and a lump form in her throat. Inuyasha dropped his pants and stood with only his underpants on.

“If you don't undress yourself, I'll be forced to do it for you.”

“I won't be swayed that easily! You're so blunt!” This was a turn on to see Inuyasha acting like this but she would never let him know so she feigned anger.

“Kagome, I thought you said you were horny? At least act like it!”

“I was, but you sure aren't doing much to fuel it!”

Inuyasha gaped at her before kneeling down in front of her and closed his eyes. Kagome wondered what was coming next because he had become so unpredictable. When he opened them again, they were placid. He slowly took her hands in his and caressed them.

“Is this better?” He asked her in a condescending manner. Kagome nodded slowly. “Well that's as good as it gets.” He proceeded to pinion her hands above her head. She squealed. Freeing one of his hands, he placed it firmly on her breast. He applied pressure to it and waited. Soon enough he felt her nipple grow taunt below the diaphanous material of her blouse. “I must commend you on your acting skills Kagome. All those film directors who are planning to cast you have little to ask of you seeing it comes so natural.” He lowered his mouth to the protruding nipple and clamped it between is teeth gently. Kagome had to fight the urge to moan. Inuyasha laughed softly before he raised his head again. This time he used his one free hand to lift the blouse up and over Kagome's head. Kagome grunted in protest.

“Inuyasha! Let go off my hands!”

“I gave you the opportunity to undress yourself and you gave it up. Now be happy I didn't rip your blouse.” He reached behind her arched back and unhooked her bra with one pinch of the clasp. The cups immediately released its hold on her breast but the shoulder straps still posed a problem. Kagome smiled knowingly.

“You have to let go of my hands if you want the bra off.”

Inuyasha looked a bit disappointed but smiled sneakingly. “I'll let go of your hands, but that doesn't mean a single thing.” He slowly let go of her hands and watched her hands as well as the bra fall down. As soon as opportunity presented itself, Kagome shoved him in his chest causing him to fall backwards. She then jumped on him and aptly placed herself very close to his exorbitant organ. Her breast bounced as she settled in.

“Now what Inuyasha? Are you going to push me off?”

“Supposed I said I had you right where I wanted you?”

He reached up to hold her breast but she violently slapped his hands away.

“No!” She scolded him like a misbehaved child.

Inuyasha threw her a harangued look. “You only think you have the upper hand. But I beg to differ.” Inuyasha, in one fluid movement shifted his weight until their positions were juxtaposed and her back was the one gnawing into the carpeting. Wasting no more time, he dove in for a kiss. Kagome savagely bit down on his lip as he drew hers in his mouth. Retracting quickly he looked at her, her eyes twinkled with laughter. Inuyasha smiled as he ran his tongue across his bottom lip checking if it was bruised. It wasn't.

“Bitch….”

He lowered his head slowly and watched her head extend in anticipation for his kiss, yet he kept denying her. Soon enough, Kagome reached up to pull his head down but Inuyasha had predicted her move and easily pinned her hands down.

“No Inuyasha! Please don't do this.” Kagome begged lamely. She began to writhe beneath his body. Inuyasha promptly shushed her before kissing her languorously. As he was kissing her he slowly placed a free hand at the hem of her skirt. He was only using his kiss as a type of Opium to calm her. He slowly inched his way up her skirt until he reached the joining of her legs, her sacred flower, Inuyasha's place of main interest. Kagome groaned erotically as he skimmed the lining of her underwear with one single finger. He made sure to go slowly, tourturing her as he went along. Kagome whimpered as Inuyasha teased her mercilessly.

“Inuyasha…please.” She murmured against his lips. Inuyasha broke the kiss and stared at her as he inserted one finger inside her. She inhaled sharply before exhaling pleasurably. Inuyasha smiled confidently as he began to move his finger slowly within her. He slowly released her hands to better prop him self up. Kagome immediately began to take advantage of her free hands and grip at the carpet. She moaned softly as Inuyasha added another finger and increased his speed. The moans became louder and breathless now. Inuyasha smiled cruelly.

“Are you ok Kagome?” She muttered an inaudible response. “What was that? You want me to stop?”

“Inuyasha, you bastard!” She managed to shout out in between her moans.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

“Oh God!”

“What? Kagome, tell me.”

Kagome whimpered as if to cry. “Please Inuyasha. Take me now! I'm begging you. Fuck me now!”

Inuyasha smiled briefly before removing his fingers. She sighed tiredly. Using his other hand, he hooked his fingers under her panties and pulled them off in one sweep. Inuyasha wondered if he should remove the skirt but then Kagome interrupted him.

“Aren't you going to loose the boxers?”

Inuyasha smiled cunningly. “You sure have a lot of talk for someone in the position your in right now.”

“Well, you are going to loose them aren't you?”

He sat up and allowed Kagome to sit up. She held on to the elastics of his boxers and pulled them down. His member stood at attention to prove that Kagome wasn't being the only one tortured. She then easily hiked her skirt over her hips but Inuyasha had something different in mind. He pulled down the skirt until she was completely naked as he was. Slowly he positioned himself above her and plunged in. A sharp gasp followed by a relived sighed was heard in the silence of the cool room. Inuyasha waited. He waited for it to register that he and Kagome were now joined. He had to get used to the feeling of filling her; the feeling of her muscles tightening and contracting around him; the warmth of her. It had been a while, but no matter how often he would ever have sex with her, it would always feel like the first time. A guttural moan rose to his mouth as he began the standard movements inside her. Her arms came up to envelope his body and hug him closer to her. What were once soft moans now escalated to ecstatic sighs and groans. His movements were slick and fluid as he moved over her increasing his speed like rising mercury.

 

Kagome gripped his shoulders as he moved over her giving her inscrutable pleasure in a place within her so deep not even she could comprehend it. Her nails inched their way into his flesh as unidentifiable noises escaped her.

“Inuyasha…”

She was too weak to say anything else but she needed yto let him know that she was there with him.

 

Soon, a familiar sensation rose within her, a warmth that would have to reach its breaking point before it could be cooled. She squeezed her eyes shut to try and delay it but it was on its way and no power on earth could stop it.

 

 

Inuyasha watched as she squeezed her eyes shut. He knew what was happening, he could feel her muscles constricting him in a vice grip. It was her time. Little beads of sweat had formed on her nose bridge to show signs of the battle raging inside her but he could see that she was loosing this one. His face, to the contrary, was awash with sweat and he could feel his hair sticking to his back. The hairs that were entwined in Kagome's fingers began tugging his scalp. As much as it hurt he couldn't tell her to stop. He would soon reach his own release and he didn't want to do anything to jeopardize it. Soon she began to cry out. Inuyasha felt her muscles loosen their grip and begin to throb violently. It became warm. Her cries were loud and seductive and all he wanted to do was to quell her insatiable urge but he too began to feel his time. A warmth suddenly made its way to his member and soon he too was throbbing deep inside her. He let out a deep animalistic growl that meshed with her clear cries until they both collapsed weakly into each other.
