Chapter Twelve: Seeing Red
BEEEEEEP BEEP BEEEEEEP BEEP BEEEEEP BEEP BEEEEEEP BEEP BEE-
“Ugh! Muhfucker” Kagome none too gently whomped her alarm clock and opened her eyes reluctantly. She narrowed blurry eyes at her alarm clock and groaned. Great, it’s Monday. I hate Monday. Monday should be cast out, never to return and continue its reign of terror. My, aren’t we cheerful this morning. I’m tired damnit. Well it’s no wonder, the night you had last night. Kagome’s eyes brightened at the reminder of her previous night. The night she’d spent in Inuyasha’s arms. She turned onto her side, at the same time reaching out a hand….and felt only sheets. She blinked once, then twice. Then a third time. But he still wasn’t there. She ran her hand along the sheets. They were still warm from his body. The pillow still held the imprint of his head. She could still smell his sent in the air.
“Inuyasha?” She waited a few seconds. No answer. She raised her voice a bit louder, but still no answer. He’s probably in the shower.
She slipped out of the bed and looked down at herself. She was still wearing his red T-shirt. She walked across the room, mindful not to trip over anything. She didn’t see any of Inuyasha’s clothes anywhere.
She didn’t hear the shower going, but she poked her head inside the bathroom anyway. No Inuyasha. God, he’s probably emptying out my refrigerator right now. Wait…damnit! I still haven’t gone shopping.
She padded down the hallway and across the living room. She expected to see a shirtless hanyou digging in vain for something to eat in her kitchen. But all she saw when she got there was the same thing she saw everyday. An empty kitchen.
Her hand started to shake. Her heart was doing a drum solo in her chest. He just…left. Now, don’t over react. Don’t over react? Are you fucking kidding me? Okay, I know it looks bad, but…well…. Thanks, that was really helpful. Hot tears were burning the corners of her eyes. She was standing in the middle of the kitchen, fists balled at her sides. Wearing his shirt. Look, throw on some pants and a pair of sandals and go knock on his door. It’s very likely that he went home to take a shower and put on fresh clothes; you are wearing his shirt after all. She pressed the heels of her hands to her eyes and took in a deep breath.
“Calm down. Get dressed. Don’t jump to conclusions.” She shook her head to clear her mind and hurried into her bedroom. She slipped on a pair of wrinkled, yet wearable jeans. She slipped her feet into a pair of sandals. A quick stop at the bathroom to brush her teeth and run a brush through her hair and she was out the apartment door, letting it fall shut with a hurried bang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshomaru put down his coffee mug with an exasperated sigh. He had hoped whoever it was knocking on the door would have given up after the first five minutes. So much for wishful thinking. He stood reluctantly and walked over to the apartment door. He paused when the knocking suddenly stopped. Maybe he wouldn’t have to answer it after all. No such luck. They must have stopped to get a second wind because right as he was turning away from the door, the knocking started again. Putting his best irritated scowl in place, he opened the door.
And came face to….five inches above face, with a very unhappy looking ninjen. Now what is Inuyasha’s wench doing here?
“Oh, hello Sesshomaru. Um, I’m Kagome…I’m not sure if you remember me. But, I’m um…is Inuyasha here?” She was fidgeting. He could tell she was nervous, but there was also something else in her voice. Confusion. Hurt? Whatever it was, he definitely did not want to have to deal with an upset woman, especially an upset ninjen woman. Sliding into an easy smile, well not so easy, he shook his head.
“I’m sorry, my brother has already left for work.” She narrowed her eyes, frowning.
“He did?” Sesshomaru nodded slowly. The disappointment and….oh dear, anger, that was steadily rising off this woman was making his nose twitch.
“I’m afraid so.”
“Oh, um…th-thank you. I’ll uh, w-well I guess I should, um go. Thank you.” Sesshomaru watched her turn on her heels and practically stalk down the hallway. He closed the door when she turned the corner, and went back to his coffee mug.
He’d heard Inuyasha come in this morning, the baka hadn’t even tried to be quiet. He could only guess where his brother had been all night, and judging by the red shirt miss Kagome had been wearing just now, he’d guessed right. His brother had come home, taken a shower, gotten dressed, and was out the door on his way to work. Apparently, all not to Kagome’s knowledge.
“Oh brother of mine, what have you gotten yourself into now?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha looked at his watch again. Five minutes until he was swamped with kids and Kagome still hadn’t shown up for work. He was starting to get worried about her. I hope she isn’t sick…but she seemed fine when I left this morning. You’re an idiot. What’d I do now? …You’re an idiot. Yeah we’ve established that part, so now tell me why? I can’t believe how stupid you are. Oh for fuck’s sake! ……….
“Inuyasha?” He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her voice. He turned around and smiled. She wasn’t. Oh shit, I told you, idiot. Why would she be mad at me? Probably just got caught in traffic, that’s why she’s frowning. …Oh God, I can’t watch this. Inuyasha practically ran to where Kagome was standing, still as stone.
“Kagome. I was starting to get worried. I-” SMMAACK
The sound of Kagome’s hand connecting with his cheek echoed through the building. Inuyasha stood stock still, amber eyes wide with shock as he stared at her right hand. His own hand came up to his cheek. Even though he couldn’t see it, he knew there was a red hand print across his cheek. The hand he was currently staring at was starting to shake, the fingers flexing open and closed.
His gaze moved to her face, and he immediately took a step back. Kagome’s eyes were burning holes into his soul. They were full of pain and anger and confusion and more anger. He opened his mouth to speak, though what he would have said he didn’t know, but she cut him off.
“I’m sorry. I really hadn’t planned on hitting you, but damnit Inuyasha you deserved it.”
“Deserve? Kagome what the hell did I do?” Her eyes were like ice now, freezing him out.
“Inuyasha, do you have any idea how it feels to wake up and find the man you l-, that you’ve just slept with gone? No explanation, no goodbye, not even a ‘see ya later’?” I TOLD you! You idiot.
“Kagome I-”
“Yo Dog Breath, you still here?” Inuyasha’s brow twitched as he turned to find Koga standing at the entrance, Tony was already on his way to the play room.
“Fuck off Koga, now isn’t the time.” Koga just waved him off and directed his smile towards Kagome.
“Hello again Kagome. This flea bag isn’t bothering you is he?” Inuyasha held his fists in check, even though he wanted to beat the crap out of him right then and there.
“Look asshole-”
“No. No thank you Koga, for the concern, but I’m fine. I should go check on Tony. See you later Koga.” Giving him a cheerful smile and walked away and disappeared into the play room with Tony.
Inuyasha wanted to follow her, but Koga was on him instantly. He pushed Inuyasha against the far wall, and Inuyasha let him, because all of his attention was on how to explain things to Kagome.
“You sonofabitch! Why does Kagome smell like you? I could smell your sent on her from across the room.” Inuyasha said the first thing that popped into his mind.
“Use your imagination ya mangy wolf.” Koga’s eyes widened and he bared his teeth, slamming his hand into the wall beside Inuyasha’s head.
“You! I ought ‘a break every bone in that mutt body of yours! You stay away from Kagome.” Inuyasha’s eyes flashed, burning like molten gold. He growled. Low. Dangerous. He grabbed Koga’s shoulder, sinking his claws into the demon’s skin. He smiled when Koga winced in pain.
“Now you listen to me Koga. You touch her, even think about touching her, I will kill you. You don’t think I can, well I’ll just bring big brother along and he’ll help. Don’t think I’m above anything where Kagome is concerned. She’s mine.” A sharp squeeze to the shoulder erased any complaint Koga might have made to that very real threat. Kagome was a beautiful woman, but not worth having the Taisho brothers on his ass. He was cocky when it came to Inuyasha, at least with him he had a fair chance. But Sesshomaru, now that was one ruthless bastard he did not want to cross claws with, especially with Inuyasha thrown into the mix.
“Whatever mutt, you want you so bad, you can have her.” Inuyasha seemed to think that an acceptable reply and withdrew his claws from Koga’s shoulder, who in turn broke for the exit.
Inuyasha washed the red stains from his claws in the bathroom in the main room, then went back to wait for the rest of the kids to show up. He wanted to talk to Kagome. He understood why she was upset, but he was afraid she had the wrong idea. She thought he didn’t care, that he’d just used her and left when he was done. He needed to make her see just how much he cared.

A/N: Okay, is it just me, or is Kagome over reacting just a wee bit? Yes I know I wrote, but can’t I flame my own story? Jeez. ^.~ I know it’s another shorty, and I am very very sorry. This chapter has gone through so many re-writes it’s not even funny. But here it is, and yes I know what you’re thinking. “This is the final result of all those re-writes? Are you shittin’ me?” XD But hey, I never said I was Shakespeare. And I’m pretty sure this story is almost done. Like 2 or 3 chapters left I think. But don’t despair, because as soon as I’m done with this one, I’m starting on the sequel. Sess/Rin, haven’t decided on a title yet, but I’ll yet you know. Later my dysfunctional bunnehs. ^.~
