InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Disguised Affections ❯ Chapter 5: Could it be jealously? ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5: Could it be jealously?

 

“Remember all those picnics in the attic?” Koga grinned contently. After a good ten minutes earlier he had sat down on a classically polished English chair, placed down before his childhood friend Kagome. Kagome was cheerfully smiling back at him, her hands in her lap.

 

“I remember, and we played that violin all the time”

 

“As we read to each other dark stories when we were little” Koga recollected. “And when we attacked that mailman with his own newspaper”

 

Kagome giggled. “He had it coming, throwing the stupid paper in the mud every single fricken-“

 

“Good times”

 

“Yeah”

 

A short pause issued, but not one of those awkward moments, more like a moment to recollect how long it has been since one another saw each other.

 

“It's been so long,” Koga finally whispered.

 

“Too long”

 

“Kagome my woman, we must have dinner tonight”

 

Kagome sighed, here we go again with the `my woman' tendencies of his, oh boy how irritating. Her mind wandered trying to revision her schedule for the night. `Laundry no, vacuuming… no, any housework? … No' she thought, it appeared she was free to go that night… but for some extremely awkward reason, she had this deepening emotion she couldn't go with him. Even just to catch up… But why?

 

“I-I'm sorry Koga, I don't think I can go” her smile faltered, her eyes loosing their glow from when Koga had first came in. “I'm sorry” she repeated.

 

“Doing what? Come on Kagome! What ever it is reschedule,” Koga countered not taking `no' for an answer I suppose he missed her. He got to his feet.

 

“I'll get my coat and we'll be on our way” Koga started towards the door.

 

“No Koga please! Listen me!” she jumped up, to emphasize her statement.

 

But he shook her off and exited the room, on his way down to the balcony over looking the theatre.

 

Kagome sighed in defeat, reseating herself in frustration, she didn't appreciate being forced. But really, why in the world did she feel like rejecting dinner with her friend she hadn't since in ages. She gazed to her hands cupped upon her slim lap. Her ears picked up a faint whistling, now what?

 

She brought her head up, and flinched when she saw all the candles in her room waft out into whisks of smoke. She shrilled when she heard a clutter from behind her; she whipped around screaming as her eyes met two of a man in the shadows inside her mirror! And no you didn't read wrong, he truly was inside the mirror!

 

The man pulled the mirror sideways.

 

“Is that jackass gone?!” Kagome had an intake of breath, she knew who it was.

 

“Inu Yasha don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!” she shrieked, standing up and punching his shoulder, but not hard enough to inflict pain.

 

Inu Yasha growled storming across the room and locking the door so when Koga returned, he'd have some fun beating the door down.

 

“Who the hell was he!?” Inu Yasha roared.

 

Kagome blinked. “Are you jealous Inu Yasha?”

 

“NO!” he snapped. “NOW ANSWER ME!”

 

“His name is Koga Sume he's a childhood friend”

 

He growled loudly in his throat at the name `childhood friend.' “I don't want you seeing him!” he ordered.

 

“And who are you to tell me who I can and cannot see!” Kagome yelled.

 

Inu Yasha opened and closed his mouth, he couldn't think of anything to come back with.

 

“Just to let you know I'm going to dinner with him tonight, whether you like it or not!” she hissed poking him square in the chest.

 

“No your not!” Inu Yasha snapped catching her hand with his, when suddenly there were a bunch of knocks on the door, and the rattling of the doorknob.

 

“Kagome? Kagome?” It was Koga. “Who's in there with you?”

 

“Come on Kagome!” Inu Yasha, who was still holding her hand, began yanking her to the passageway that was concealed by the mirror. “You're coming with me!”

 

“Inu Yasha, stop being a jerk!” Kagome hissed, “Let me go!”

 

“Don't think so”

 

“Kagome open this door” Koga called, his voice sounded raged, he was raged about another man's presence inside the room with her. He pounded his fist harder against the oak door…oh have fun breaking that down.

 

“Kagome stop struggling” Inu Yasha growled, clasping her other hand so she'd quit whacking his arm.

 

Kagome shot him a deadly glare. “Inu Yasha-let-me-go” she replied very firmly.

 

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. “Why do you wanna go so badly!?”

 

“OH! I don't know?! Maybe `cause he's my childhood FRIEND?”

 

Inu Yasha sent her an equalled glower; he just did not want her attending the demon to dinner, why did he care so much? Was he in- no that's impossible… Or was it?

 

Inu Yasha sighed, but it rang more like a growl to the ear, he quickly moved his hands to her shoulders and yanked her onto his shoulder.

 

Kagome recovered from her brief shock. “Inu Yasha!”

 

“Be quiet,” he answered striding through the mirror and sliding it back into place with the arm, which wasn't holding Kagome's kicking legs.

 

Twenty minutes had finally passed by and Kagome had stopped fidgeting and hissing, she was walking next to Inu Yasha, her wrist squeezed within Inu Yasha's rough hand, irritation evident on all over her face.

 

Her eyes scanned down the walls, to the floor, to the ceiling, then forward to where they were headed.

 

“Inu Yasha why did you build your lair so far under the Opera house?”

 

Inu Yasha glanced at her sideways, “so no idiot's annoy me”

 

`More like can't find you,' Kagome thought.

 

They ambled into a beautiful wide rocky area, with a lake and a boat gliding on top of the blue crystal water.

 

“Inu Yasha did you build this boat and all the stuff in your home?” she asked, she never really did inquire about that before.

 

“Well yeah” came his gruff reply.

 

He allowed her to seat herself in the rear while he grabbed his steering stick off the wall. (A/N: Weren't Kikyo and Inu Yasha on one of those boats in an few episodes? Oh well Kagome fits Christine way better hehe) Inu Yasha kept turning his head around to look at her once in a while.

 

`She doesn't seem to be angry anymore' he contemplated to himself, recapturing a dream he had lately, one he secretly found he could get use to. Secretly.

 

The dream was set in his lair they were both enwrapped in another voice practice, at the moment Kagome was having a break sitting on a purple cushion with a cheery smile upon her features. As for himself he was sitting on a black cushion before a low table tapping a calligraphy brush against the polished surface.

 

“Inu Yasha?” Kagome asked quietly.

 

He had grunted in reply.

 

“Why do you wear that mask and hat all the time?” she had said, “Do you like sleep with it on?”

 

Inu Yasha smiled, gazing over to her. “No I take them off then” he looked back to his hands. “I can't tell you why I wear them though,” he answered dejectedly.

 

Kagome crawled over next to him. “I won't tell anyone if you're trying to hide your bed head and a zit” she joked.

 

He met her eyes. “I can't tell you, it would ruin your outlook on me”

 

Her eyes slanted in sorrow. “Is it that bad?” she had asked considerably, Kagome then smiled lightly. “Inu Yasha?”

 

“Hm?”

 

She placed a delicate hand on his shoulder gently, “Nothing could change my outlook on you, your fine just the way you are, I except you for who you are” her hand traveled up from his shoulder to his cheek, she curled her fingers underneath the edge of his mask, just about to pull it off when Inu Yasha's hand landed on top of hers. She met his eyes again they looked discouraged.

 

“It's okay” she reassured him, smiling again.

 

He sighed gripping her hand and helping her yank the mask of his own face his other hand taking off the hat. She scanned his face in shock.

 

“Inu Yasha your gorgeous” she whispered, “why do you conceal it”

 

“I'm a half demon Kagome, half demons are treated like dirt, with this hat it hides my ears and my scent with this spell scroll plastered here” he pointed to the scroll contained in the hat on the roof.

 

“There's nothing wrong with you, besides your ears are cute” she giggled tweaking the left ear, he secretly adored the very feeling, but couldn't help but growl because of his pride.

 

“Oh Inu Yasha” she whispered softly, “I promise I won't tell anyone”

 

Inu Yasha smiled warmly, leaning his head down and pressing his lips against hers, he could tell she was in stunned at first but soon began to kiss back, that's where the dream had ended, leaving Inu Yasha with mixed emotions.

 

“Inu Yasha?” he could hear someone calling him. “Inu Yasha!?”

 

Inu Yasha flinched out of his thoughts he looked around.

 

“We're here,” she announced pointing to the ledge they drifted to.

 

“Oh” he answered dumbly, getting out and lending her his hand.

 

“Oh thanks” she smiled, though she was a little surprised at the thoughtful gesture from him.

 

They both ambled into the main room where a highly polished low table was placed to the near right wall of the room, with tons of cushions the colours of red, black and purple scattered and bundled the floors. An organ was pressed over into a bright corner to the right behind the low table and a desk was on the other wall, the surface cluttered with calligraphy pens, letters, music sheets, books (which looked like they were only touched once) and paper. Another room was attached to the one they resided in, from what made sense, it was most likely his bedroom.

 

“So,” Kagome said cheerfully, she decided to forget about the fight they had earlier, she knew she wouldn't be leaving for a while. “What do we do now?” she dropped down on a red pillow, adjusting her dress from the show, she hadn't changed out of it yet… of course.

 

Inu Yasha simply shrugged and sat down on a black pillow next to her.

 

“Should we have another voice practice?” she suggested gazing intently on his mask.

 

He flicked his eyes on to her. “If that's what you want” he managed to reply, trying to make his voice sound as if he didn't care.

 

“Well might as well”

 

“Stay here” Inu Yasha got onto his feet and padded over to his jumbled desk retrieving four music sheets out of a drawer, which was no better, then the desk's surface.

 

“If you can hit these notes at ease, your practices are over” he dropped down on his pillow again, handing her the sheets. “You're a quick learner” he muttered slightly blushing at complementing her.

 

Kagome blinked. “Are you okay?”

 

“Huh, yeah, why?”

 

“Nothing, you're being nice today,” she laughed.

 

“Hmph”

 

Kagome looked over the sheets of paper. “Um Inu Yasha there's two people singing”

 

“What- Oh no I am not singing if that's what your thinking”

 

“Oh come on it will be fun” she nudged him, he growled.

 

“Nope, nope, nope”

 

“I'll bribe you with a bowl of ramen”

 

Inu Yasha winced, damn her for bribing him with his weakness, he growled again. “Fine!”

 

Kagome smiled scooting closer and holding the paper up so both of them could read it.

 

“In sleep he sang to me

In dreams he came

That voice which calls to me

And speaks my name

 

And do I dream again?

For now I find

The phantom of the opera is there

Inside my mind”

 

Kagome nudged Inu Yasha giggling when she found his eyes slanted with stubbornness, she nudged him again.

 

“Okay fine!” he shouted.

 

“Sing once again with me

Our strange duet

My power over you

Grows stronger yet

 

And though you turn from me

To glance behind,

The phantom of the opera is there

Inside your mind”

 

“Those who have seen your face

Draw back in fear

I am the mask you wear” Kagome sang.

 

“It's me they hear”

 

Then they both started singing at the same time, but some words not the same. Inu Yasha changed the “Inside MY mind” to “Inside your mind” and so on.

 

“Your/my spirit and my/your voice,

In one combined:

The Phantom of the Opera is there-

Inside your/my mind”

 

“He's there, the Phantom of the Opera

Beware the Phantom of the Opera” Kagome and Inu Yasha exchanged glances where in the hell was that singing coming from, they shrugged and continued.

 

“In all your fantasies,

You always knew

That man and mystery” Inu Yasha sang.

 

“Were both in you,”

 

And once again they sang together again.

 

“And in this labyrinth,

Where night is blind,

The Phantom of the Opera is there/here-

Inside your/my mind”

 

“He's there the Phantom of the Opera” after this was sung Kagome breathed in and opened her mouth throwing her voice up and making a bunch of shrill notes.

 

“Sing!” Inu Yasha shouted.

 

Kagome shrilled again.

 

“Sing bitch sing!”

 

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him but shrilled again.

 

“Sing! SING BITCH SING!”

 

Kagome belted the last note, her voice passed soprano as of now, and to her pride and shock she did it at ease and not struggle. She looked back to his face with a smile spread across her face.

 

“I did it,” she breathed.

 

Inu Yasha smirked. “Damn I'm good”

 

She giggled. “Thanks” she then stood up.

 

“Where are you going?”

 

“Home Sota's probably worried” Kagome answered, Inu Yasha nodded disappointedly he didn't want her to leave yet.

 

“I can see my self out I'll visit once in a while okay” she winked, turning around and walking towards the passageway out.

 

“Kagome wait!” Inu Yasha replied reaching his hand out.

 

“Yes?”

 

Inu Yasha bit his lip and looked down. “Nothing, I'll see you later”

 

Kagome blinked then shrugging she left the room.

 

Kagome sighed in gratefulness finally she had found a way out of maze leading to all over the Opera house, she probably wasted half an hour trying to get out of it. She walked out on the platform she was on, where was she!?

 

She walked to the edge and gazed down, her heart began to race and she backed up against the wall, she was standing underneath the VERY roof of the opera house, and the distance from the ground to her was immense! Her legs began to quiver and she broke out in a sweat she couldn't move.

 

“Why do I have to have a phobia of heights!” she screamed, trying her best to edge towards the passageway out, her eyes made contact to where the balcony seats were, her eyes began to shift from blackness to clear. She attempted to edge along again, but her phobia overcame her and she dropped to her knees and let the darkness consume her.

 

So very sorry for the long wait! But ha! Another chapter next one maybe up in a day or two not sure. Keep R&R and I'll c u later bye!
