InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Don't Promises Last Forever? ❯ Forests, Sesshy and Bullshit ( Chapter 24 )

Forests, Sesshy and Bullshit

 

“Ok, now explain to me again why you've taken off your shoes, taped up your hands and the arches of your feet and are making me carry this bag?!?” Inuyasha asked. This girl was freaking nuts!

 

“Just do it. Just follow my lead. I wanna try something.” Kagome replied, securing the last of the tape around her left hand.

 

“Feh. If I don't like it, I'm leaving you here.” He warned. She hated being left behind, he knew that.

 

“Fine by me.” She said, getting up. She walked towards the door, although she was doing so tenderly, like the floor was made of pins and needles.

 

“Are, uh, you ok?” he asked. He'd never seen her like this.

 

“Oh, I'm fine. Trust me, I'll look better when I get up.” She said, smiling. “Lets go!”

 

`Get up?' Inuyasha asked himself.

 

They both walked out to where the forest actually started. “Ok, now what?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Let me on your back, and go up there.” She said, pointing. Inuyasha shrugged. “Go as fast as you can, and don't stop, no matter what.” He started running. Fast. “And don't hold on to me!”

 

“But you'll fall off!” he said, hopping high up into the forest canopy. When she didn't answer him, he slipped his hands from gripping her thighs to holding onto her shins. It seemed apparent that she could tighten her thighs around him so she wasn't going to go anywhere.

 

She took a quick look around and was sure this was the spot. She loosened her grip on Inuyasha and reached upwards.

 

“What are you doing? I told you you were gonna fall off!” He yelled at her.

 

“I know! That's exactly the point!” she shouted back, as she grabbed the branch above her and allowed Inuyasha to continue on without her.

 

(A/n: I've done this before…not to the extent Kagome is doing it, but using tree branches for uneven bars is much fun. As long as you don't look down. : P)

 

The velocity she was going allowed her to get two full rotations around the branch before launching herself at the next one. She did a half spin as she completed another rotation around another branch.

 

By now, Inuyasha had stopped. He didn't expect her to just let go like that. It had been…surprising, to say the least. He had turned around to see his girlfriend leaping around the tree canopy like it was a massive set of uneven bars.

 

Kagome whipped around yet another branch with her feet in a v-contact with the bar and her arms pulling in the middle. She flew for a lower branch, grabbing at it and slamming her hips into it, completing three forward rotations around the branch, her pelvis the center of the rotation.

 

He now understood where she got the muscle tone she had. For all the supernatural talent he possessed, Kagome had ten-times it, all earned through hard-core training. `She was graceful, but beautifully strong. She must have worked very hard to be able to do this with such…finesse.' He thought, sitting on the branch he was currently on, allowing his back to rest on a trunk.

 

Kagome cried out her favorite move, the Spirit Circle, as she came out of a pike flip to grab onto another branch.

 

But strangely to Inuyasha, this wasn't a flying grab. She was positioned so that she was to land directly above the branch. It was a scissors rotation, meaning she straddled the bars as she rotated around it. Inuyasha watched as she prepared herself, opening her legs, extending her arms down and locking her elbows. She looked like she was going to meet a miserable end as she came down, and Inuyasha looked away. It hurt his crotch too much.

 

When he looked back though, he caught her upside down on the branch, her legs still in the scissors position they were in earlier, and her laughter still ringing wild and free. He'd never seen her so careless, only worrying bout what she was going to do next, and executing it to the best of her ability. It seemed like whenever they were together, he had that effect on her.

 

“Whoa!” Inuyasha said, leaping to his feet. He was too busy in his own head to notice Kagome had settled on the branch he was on and was now peering very closely into his face.

 

“What'chya thinkin' `bout?” she asked, with a childlike innocence.

 

“Um…nothing.”

 

“Pshya. I'm sure.” She replied; the childish edge still in her voice. She then stuck her tongue out at him.

 

“Hey - either use that thing or put it away. But don't just taunt me with it.” Inuyasha said.

 

“Oh, like this?” she said, bringing her face no more than three inches from his, then running her tongue lightly over her lips. The childlike innocence had disappeared, leaving the devil herself in its place.

 

“Yeah…like that. Just…like…that…” he whispered. He had smelt the change in her from the night before, though he didn't dare act on it. She was in heat. In perfect heat…it made him want to take her right there, to have his seed spill into her, to have her hold his pups…

 

No. No. He couldn't do that. But damn. Just her taunting him like that instantly turned him on.

 

“Hmm…” she said, leaning back and balancing skillfully on the branch. She brought a finger to her lips and cocked her head to the side, looking up, trying to look thoughtful. “So, when are we seeing…ah…Sesshy? Do you mind I call him that?”

 

“Just so long as you treat him properly in his presence. I don't really feel like getting the lecture on how I should receive a mate who has respect for those `higher' than them. Though, I still think it's a crock of shit. But as long as there's demons, he's the `Lord' or whatever he likes to call himself.” Inuyasha replied, rolling his eyes.

 

“What is it with you and your brother, anyway? I mean, you never mentioned him in a `serious' tone before last night.”

 

“Agh, it's nothing really. I don't like to talk about it.”

 

“Oh.” Kagome replied her eyes downcast. “Well, we should get going. And my tape is about run through.” She said, producing her hands for Inuyasha to see. Sure enough, the tape was all but dissolved from the palms of her hands.

 

“So I take it you're done with your little...outburst back there?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Yeah. I wanted to see if I could still do all of that. And I saw all of the branches here were perfect size for me to use.” She grinned widely. “You didn't mind, did you?”

 

“Oh, no, actually. Not at all. You were really good.” He said. Actually, watching her perform was quite erotic. He'd seen her flip and twist in ways he thought were impossible for him even. He had speed and strength, sure. But her grace and flexibility envied that of a cat's. He could only imagine how good she was between the sheets.

 

“Good. Now get your rear in gear. I doubt Sesshy wants to be kept waiting.”

 

“Feh. He can wit till the end of the world, if it means I get more time with you.” Inuyasha said, scooping her up bridal style.

 

“You can be such a sweetheart sometimes, you know that?” Kagome said as he ran. At that point, he jumped and took off about twenty feet from solid ground. Kagome screamed. “But the times you annoy me outweigh that sweetheartedness by spades.”

 

“Feh.” Was his only reply as he broke out into a full run.

Miroku was once again over Sango's. They had been spending a lot of time together, though they weren't offiically `going out.' But even still, everyone stayed hands-off. And Miroku had even been kind enough to switch from groping random girl's asses to Sango's exclusively. His rate of being knocked unconscious had varied directly to his rate of groping Sango. Meaning he was unconscious a good amount of the usual waking hours.

 

They were now playing cards. Bullshit was the name of the game. But they had added a twist to it. To ward off boredom.

 

“I'll play 3 3's.”

 

“One 4.”

 

“One 5.”

 

“Bullshit, Miroku!” she said, flipping over the card he had placed on the deck. She was right. He'd played a ten.

 

“How come you always catch me?” he said, jutting out his lower lip.

 

“Because you can't lie for shit.” Sango said, smirking. “Now, add 15 to the pile.”

 

“Ugh.” He said, slapping a five and a ten on the money pile. Each player paid 15 each card each time they got caught bullshitting, and paid 30 for each false accusation. Winner got the money. If you ran out of money, you had to take off an item of clothing. Neither of them were desperate yet, but Miroku was getting there. What happened after they ran out of clothes? They'd figure that out once they got there. If they got there.

 

“Dude, I only have 20 left!”

 

“Too bad. I got a little over 100.” Sango replied, sticking her tongue out.

 

“Biznotch.”

 

“No, vindictive biznotch. But I do such a good job of it.” She spat back, playfully smirking.

 

“Play something.”

 

“2 Sixes.”

 

“'kay. 3 sevens.”

 

“2 8's.”

 

“Bullshit.” Miroku said.

 

“Yeah…” Sango whined, slapping 30 onto the table and picking up the card pile with the cards she just played.

 

“4 nines.”

 

“That's crap.” Sango accused.

 

“No, actually, it's not.” He said, flipping over his cards on the pile.

 

“But…but…I…but…!” Sango stammered, searching through her cards.

 

“Pay up, Miss `Butt.'” He said, taking 30 bucks from her pile. She was now down to fifty dollars.

 

“Hmm…the game seems to be tying up.” He said, picking at two cards in his hand and replacing them elsewhere in his hand.

 

“Whatever. A ten.”

 

“2 jacks.”

 

“Queenie. And two. And three.” She said, plucking out each card and placing it facedown on the pile.

 

Suddenly, the door slammed. “Sango! I got yours and Kagome's stuff!” he screamed down the stairs.

 

“I'll have the money for you in a second!” She whipped back at him.

 

“King.”

 

“Three Aces. And game.” She said, slapping the remainder of her cards down.

 

“I'd challenge you, but I'd have to take off my shirt in addition to giving you my last twenty.” Miroku said. “Not tha tI mind…but it is my last 20.”

 

“Yeah, and I owe Kohaku big for this.” She said, counting out $160 for her and Kagome's weed. Plus an extra $20 for something “extra-special” for her friend here. But he didn't know about that yet.

 

“I'll be back in a sec.” She said, running off with the money.

 

“Kay! I'll clean up!” he said, grabbing her butt as she got up to leave.

 

“Hentai! I thought we got over this!” she yelled as she rocketed up the stairs, leaving Miroku with a substantially sized bruise on his head.

 

::123456789::

 

“Ok. So wait. What? Why? More like, why me?? And what am I supposed to do, just sit and wait till this freak comes looking for me?” Kagome asked, annoyed. This had turned into not only an interrogation session but also an all out insult assembly at her weaknesses. And unfortunately for her, Inuyasha wasn't with them.

 

“No, Inuyasha will train you. You need a workout as it is. You're getting fat and it seems your only power comes from your miko energy.” Sesshomaru said.

 

That was it. Kagome had had enough. She walked up to Sesshomaru calmly and said, "M'lord, I don't care if you had my life in your hands. You will not talk to me as if I was some person able to be disposed of like a dirty Kleenex. I expect to be shown the same respect as I show you!" And with that, she landed a roundhouse kick on his jaw. One powerful enough to draw blood.

 

Sesshomaru touched his jaw tenderly. A human had not attempted to strike him and successfully hit him and draw blood in a while. "This Sesshomaru will do as he pleases." he said, placing his hand around her neck. "And though this Sesshomaru is not stupid enough to do anything severe to the one his brother claims as the one he loves, I doubt he bout opposed to my teaching you a lesson." He tightened his grip and allowed his claws to just graze her skin, enough for her to feel the pain they were capable of causing but not anything enough to actually hurt her.

 

A growl issued from deep in her throat. "Get off of me." No fear was in her voice, only pure hatred and disgust. Her breathing was even and calm, even though it was somewhat restricted due to the hand on her throat. She was used to it. There wasn't much that fazed her anymore. Not even death.

 

She repeated her warning, her voice even firmer. "Get off of me." She allowed the power she was just learning to control to come out of her. "Unlike Inuyasha, I have no care for whether or not I leave you dead. Do not underestimate me, Sesshomaru.” She actually now didn't care if she destroyed herself in the process. All of her anger was aimed at this asshole who dare insult her.

 

“A human? A match for this Sesshomaru? Do not make me laugh, human girl. If anyone is dying, it would be you.” He replied, his face still blank, but his anger showed as his hand tightened once again around her neck and lifted her about 6 inches off the ground.

 

“I'll make you laugh, cry, scream in pain and in pleasure. I do what I want. No one, but no one tells me otherwise!” She screamed at him, grabbing the arm that was attached to her neck and channelling her energy through herself into him.

 

Instantly, his hand tightened, but then it let go of her. But she didn't let go of him, as she allowed as much of her energy as she could to flow into him, making him drop to his knees in pain. Kagome didn't know where this power was coming from, nor did she care. Her anger was livid and she enjoyed watching him suffer. He remotely reminded her of her stepfather after the men had pulled her off of him…on his knees, but refusing to give up.

 

She looked at him mockingly, and spoke, although her voice was now no longer kind, as it usually was, but full of hatred and spite. “As I said, do not underestimate me, or my intentions. As for Rin, as we discussed earlier, she will be returned to you by the next moon.” She turned to leave. “Do not take any of this personally, my lord. With the exception of Inuyasha, most men I know have been hurt pretty badly by my rage. Think of yourself as part of the `club.'” Kagome then left the room.

 

`My half-brother chose well. She'll be good for him, if he isn't killed first.' Sesshomaru thought, as he righted himself and left the room as well.

“Wait, you what??” Inuyasha asked. Kagome had just finished telling Inuyasha what had happened while he was away, doing whatever he was doing.

 

“Um, which part?”

 

“Oh, my, GOD Kagome! You're great! Absolutely nuts, but great!” he said, as he picked her up and spun her around. “You've got no clue how long I've wanted to do that. I just value my life.”

 

“Heh. He can't do shit to me if he tried.” She replied, cockily.

 

“Don't get too much into your head. You now have to figure out how to deal with Naraku.”

 

“Heh. I've got that figured out already. Just do me a favor, and follow whatever lead I take, ok? For good or bad.”

 

“Good…or bad?” Inuyasha repeated, uncertain. “What are you trying to pull, Kagome?”

 

“Just trust me, ok? And know that no matter what, I always love you. Ok?” she said.

 

She was hiding something. He knew it. He knew it, he knew it, he knew it. But what?
