InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ different shades of black ❯ forgiven follies ( Chapter 14 )

Disclaimer: bah! *looks around* seriously, when was the last time you saw Rumiko Takahashi write a fanfic? Never, since she isn't a `fan' per-say, she's the real deal! So who could ever confuse me with her, I could never understand *shakes head* I need an ibuprofen! So yeah…I don't own Inuyasha, just incase you didn't understand the rant above. =^~.-^= hehe.

 

A/N'S ----

 

-----Reply to Anon's review: ok ok... I must reply to Anon's review. Firstly yes... it was a long chappie. Actually the longest yet. And as regards to S&M... well, that's for me to know. muahaha.

Also, I profusely apologize about the 'disturbing ness' that you may have found with in this chappie. But honestly, it turned out the best I think. Honestly. A Goth Kagome having lovey dovey dreams didn't seem to fit.

Anyways... the next chappie will not be as disturbing. As well as the next lemon (which wont be for a bit). But I would honestly like to know if this recent chappie worried a lot of you, and if so I will dim it down. Not that I wish to, but I don't want to loose readers over something as trivial as a lemon scene. Or do many of you think I should add another warning? Just looking for feedback! (Such as Anon's. feedback is really good!)

Ah well... thanks for the review ^_^. It always makes my day to see reviews! And to know what my readers are thinking. Arigato!

-----A note on last chappies dream: okies…well I got an email (from: anonymous anime freakaziod. thanks again) asking if there was a deeper meaning to the dream sequence…such as a foretelling of the future. Ok well…yes and no:

It was kind of like the foretelling of possible futures. The first one was Kagome's ultimate nightmare. To her that was worse then the Sesshoumaru scene. If Houjo had of lived she would have “lived happily ever after” and this fanfic wouldn't have been written

(Kagome: oh kami no. me? In pearls and heels? And that damn vacuum following me around?! Kill me now!)

 

Secondly… both brothers `seem' to like her (but as to whether or not Inuyasha does, is yet to be seen…). And each scene is what would happen if she got with one of them… but since Inuyasha is mated… how likely is that part in the dream sequence to actually happen? Really?

(Gives angel face.

Inuyasha: seriously? If it wasn't for that damned Monk and these Damned offudas, you'd be dead right now, Anime Fan!!

Miroku: calm yourself Inuyasha, I'm sure she has a logical explanation.

Sesshoumaru: I see no problem with the way things are going. All though it pains me to hurt Kagome like that.

Inuyasha: I'll give you some pain, if you ever hurt her like that…*Random swear words and struggles coming from Yasha*

 

Very important:…Well… hope that clears up some stuff for you guys. And don't forget… reviews make life better for one and all…well maybe not so much Kikyo, cuz I don't like her…and neither do my reviewers …hehe *wink* …hint hint for all those who have emailed me with threats. I luv those actually. But yes. Do not stress my chickadees. I hate Kikyo as well…

 

NOW… ON WITH THE SHOW…

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------

 

 

Swiftly turning around Kagome saw Miroku. “Why the hell are you in my house?”

 

Miroku smiled “it's my house for one. Well, my parent's house but they are never home. Each with their respective fuck toys, but their stories are `their business trips'”

 

“Oh” Kagome had no clue how to respond. She wasn't good when it came to comforting others. She remembered a time when Sango told her to stop trying to comfort others when a fellow class mate by the name of Jean came to school in tears after finding out her grandmother had passed on. Kagome's response was to look around the classroom at anything but the girl in tears, to pat her on the shoulder accompanied by her not-so resounding assurances of “wow, well um, yeah that sucks” which only helped to cause the hysterical girl to collapse on her desk in a fit of sobs.****

 

Miroku could feel the understanding and sympathy coming from Kagome's mind. Accompanied by a feeling of uneasiness. He shook his head “don't worry about it. I could care less, really. Actually, it is better. My place gets to be like the headquarters for our little gang. With no pesky parents around, right?”

 

“Sure. I guess” Kagome nodded her head and bit her bottom lip. Wanting something to do. She hated to just stand there. ==time for this convro to be over with. ==

 

“Anyways, Kags, Inuyasha is supposed to be over here in about an hour to pick you up. Along with Shippou. They wanted to take you somewhere. He said something about you packing?”

 

“Oh, right. Moving. I didn't think it would be this quick though.”

 

Kagome sat back on the edge of the bed. Legs apart and her hands in a tight balls of fingers in-between them ==is it the right thing to do? He's mated and all. Dear kami, show me what to do==

 

“HE'S FUCKING MATED?! WHEN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?!==

 

Kagome look up from her extremely interesting balled fist, at the red faced Wicca above her. Seeing how mad he was her face dropped and her eyes widened “oops”

 

“How …when?” Miroku started to pace throwing his hands sporadically in the air. Stopping suddenly Miroku stared at Kagome “What?!”

 

She sighed and got up. Placing her hands on his shoulders to calm him down she looked at him “With Shippou's mum. Apparently. He didn't want me to tell you. And if I hadn't forgot that you can read my thoughts, or forgotten how to shield my thoughts I wouldn't have let you know. Damn morning having to be so early! Just… please don't bring it up around Inuyasha. Please Miroku.” She was pleading with him, slowly tightening her grip on her hands, unknowingly.

 

Looking into her eyes he saw a glimpse of something else “ok Kagome, but there is something else to all this, isn't there. Such as why did you run away?”

 

Kagome released her hands from Miroku's shoulders. “I already told you. I sent Inuyasha flying with out airmiles and got scared. That's all”

 

“Un hu. So then if he's married, what's the big deal about staying with him? Shouldn't that be better in all realities? No `sexual tension'” Miroku used very annoying air quotes at the last part of his sentence.

 

“Right. But wouldn't you run if you had sent something flying into Sesshoumaru?” Kagome had turned from Miroku trying to straighten the bed, giving her something to concentrate on.

 

Miroku chucked and leaned against the bed “when my powers were just coming out, I sent a car flying into him, actually. Granted it wasn't with a wind tunnel like yours, so it wasn't as powerful, so he ducked it, but I didn't get a chance to run”

 

Miroku exaggeratedly, wiped an invisible tear for his cheek while he smiled “ah, good times”

 

Kagome smiled. “Now that would have been something to see”

 

Miroku only nodded “I promise sometime to relive it in memory so you can see it. But at the moment I need to know why you ran. And be honest with me Kagome”

 

Kagome who had now finished tidying up the bed after making it into an army tuck, slowly leaned back up and turned on her heels to look at him. A very pronounced pout that she didn't eve realize she had, was surfacing. “Honestly? I have no clue Miroku. All I know is that I needed to get out of there. And after that…that wind tunnel thing, that need to run increased ten fold”

 

“I see. Listen Kagome. There is something about your powers you have to know…”

 

Just as Miroku started to tell her the door bell rang. He stopped in midsentence and closed his eyes. ==Inuyasha is at the door, and he doesn't look happy. ==

 

Kagome nodded and got up to make her way downstairs, temporarily forgetting the urgency in Miroku's voice.

 

“Open up the door! I'm being nice. I'm not yelling, I'm not swearing… NOW OPEN UP!”

 

Miroku pushed Kagome aside and chuckled, wondering what was going on in Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha's protected, sleeping a night in Miroku's house, before she even slept at Inuyasha's place. Inuyasha must be freaking out, with interesting mental pictures. Miroku was almost tempted to peek into the irate hanyou's head, if it wasn't for, not wanting to know his fate which would also appear in the mad boys head.

 

“Well! Yasha! I didn't hear you, wont you come in?”

 

“Step aside monk. I'm just here for Kagome” Inuyasha made his way into the house, wrinkling his nose at the potent scent of incense and candles that Miroku used for odd charms, spells, and chants.

 

“She's upstairs still getting dressed…I mean ready for you” == that'll make him wonder for sure! == Miroku add the little `slip-up' hoping Inuyasha would take it for face value at start to get mad at him. Miroku wanted Inuyasha jealous.

 

The only reason was so he could point out that it's not as if he's dating her. ==which then I will point-blanketly ask why he isn't. I love being an evil genius, sometimes==

 

==lay off Miroku. You promised not to say anything about my mistake==

 

==I wont, lady Kagome, but if he admits it, with a bit of prodding, who am I to reject the information. Albeit, it's gonna have to be more like cattle prodding, then simply `retrieving information', to get anything from `Mr. tight-lipped' here==

 

Kagome made her way downstairs with her meager and wrinkled black outfit and a new pair of socks Miroku had left for her on her bed, considering her other pair was shredded.

 

Inuyasha could smell the fresh wounds on her. His head was swarmed with unhappy thoughts. Firstly that someone knew his secret. Secondly that he had hurt Kagome, by making her run like she did. Then the thought that she ran to Miroku and not him. In fact the entire thing that she was with Miroku at all alone burned him up. On top of that all, he was too busy smelling incense and her blood, he didn't pick up the area where it was coming from. So, he assumed the worse

 

Giving a very menacing growl, Inuyasha lunged forward and grabbed her arm “I told you not to do that anymore! Kami Kags, if you're mad at me, yell at me, or come after me with a knife, not yourself”

 

Inuyasha was examining her arms with care when Miroku saw for the first time a different Inuyasha. == I'll just be in the back. Just close the door on your way out. ==

 

Kagome would have responded but Inuyasha gave a sigh that brought her back to the person in front of her.

 

“Listen, Yasha, I didn't cut myself on purpose this time. I forgot my shoes, and my feet, on the way over here gotta kinda, um, let's just say in need of a bath.”

 

“Oh” Inuyasha dropped her arms, in obvious relief. “Yeah. Your shoes are in the car with Shippoe. He was really mad when you left”

 

“I'm sorry; I hope he's not mad at me anymore. I didn't mean to …”

 

“No… not mad at you. Mad at me.” Inuyasha turned around to look at Mirkou's familiar house, trying to avoid eye contact with Kagome “He over heard it all, when we were in the hallway”

 

“Oh. I'm sorry. I guess you never told him about her, did you?”

 

“No. I hate her. He hates her. After I talked to Sesshoumaru, Shippoe and I had a long talk. The only thing right now he doesn't know is that he's not my kid, which I assume you heard as well.”

 

Kagome nodded. Inuyasha saw that with peripheral vision and went on. “So just, keep that to yourself. He'll figure it out later on in life, when he understands demon's scents better. But for the moment, his life is messed up enough. I just want him to have a father. Even if it's only an illusion”

 

Inuyasha was fingering the couch he had moved to while talking to Kagome. The same one that she had fallen asleep on last night.

 

“It's not really an illusion you know. You are his father. Whether or not it's by blood”

 

“Not in the demon world. And if his real father comes to claim him. Or even Kikyo, I have to give him up. No arguing. Even if his father is Naraku himself, and everybody knows that Shippou would wind up face down in a river, I would still have to give him up”

 

“There is no way…”

 

“None” Inuyasha let out a burst of air through puffed cheeks

 

“Anyways. I'm… I'm sorry, ok? Sorry for not telling you and Miroku. I assume, even though you promised not to tell him, he knows.”

 

“Yeah. He kinda read my mind, when my defenses were down.”

 

Inuyasha gave a short `heh' and nodded. “Figures. Well, I'll have to apologize to him as well. But later. Firstly, I just want to make sure you and me are ok. As of today, you're living with me. And I want it all to be cool. Is it?”

 

Inuyasha looked at her with a classic lost-puppy look. That Kagome had to smile “I guess. But is there anything else I should know? Any long lost twin that happens to want to murder you, or another wife, erm I mean mate in the wood work?”

 

He smiled “probably, but when it comes up, I'll let you know ok?”

 

“Fair enough I guess. Well. Now what?”

 

Inuyasha gave a shrug “you get your shit, and we leave. Yell `goodbye' to Miroku and close the door”

 

“I have all my stuff with me” Kagome said while outstretching her arms to indicate her present outfit

“I didn't really leave your place with an arm load of stuff, you know”

 

“Right. Well then let's go. And I can fill you in on what Sesshoumaru told me while we go to your house to pack.Shippou wanted to help”

 

“Miroku told me what Sesshoumaru said” Kagome and Inuyasha headed for the door

 

“Yeah, but Sesshoumau didn't tell Miroku everything”

“Oh. Hold on…”

 

==ciao Miroku, thanks for everything==

 

Kagome could feel him smile ==no problem my lady. Call me later, ok? ==

 

==can do==

 

Kagome closed the door, and walked away.

 

“I assume you said our goodbyes to the lech?”

 

She smiled “yes. Now come on. I want to know about what the great underworld lord had to say” Kagome imitated Sesshoumaru in a deep voice with a stern expression while she said his title, which made Inuyasha laugh.

 

“Ok ok, in the car” the pair reached the purring vehicle, which held a worried Kitsune demon in the back. “But first Kags, when we get to your house, you have to know some stuff… like your mum will be mad”

 

“Figured. Is that all?”

 

“No, but she's gonna want to sit you and me down to go over the rules”

 

Kagome's shoulders sagged “is it worth all of this?”

 

Inuyasha smiled and grabbed her into a hug to comfort her “yes. I need you close to protect you fully. And you need me close, just because I'm so cool”

 

Kagome laughed at his self-righteous comment, but she knew he was only kidding. She could feel his aura surround her in worry, and a few other emotions that made her head swim.

 

She wiggled out of his grasp to look up at him. “Ok. Well, let's get this over with, shall we?”

He pulled open the passenger side door latch to let Kagome in “lets”
