Chapter 6~Boredom!

~~~A week had passed since Kagome had become the unwilling captive of a renegade soldier. Over that week she had learned very little of him, except he liked to think highly of himself, he hated Ekki, he was demanding and annoying at times, which was alot of the time. He didnt talk much but he grumbled alot and complained about the food, about getting soft because there was nothing he could do to work his muscles while he recovered in this dirty little excuse for a room, as he was used to calling it.

~~~As the season began to change fall was fast coming and Kagome found that the daylight hours were growing shorter, so she was sorely pressed to accomplish even more work in shorter hours than she was used to, and at night although tired, she could not immediatly go to sleep, since she had become used to sleeping at a certain time and waking at a set time as well. So most nights by some used up old candles Kagome had managed to rummage and remold into larger ones she would sit on a mat on the floor and sew old clothes, or sort and dry herbs, while her captor grumbled or complained about being bored.

"Damn it, isnt there anything to do here at ALL?" growled the angry raven haired man, still lounging like a pointate upon her futon. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Do you know how to sew?" she asked, keeping her voice neutral, as not to trigger one of his little tirades.

"Hell NO, do I look like a wench to you?" he hissed back at her.

"Do you know anything about herbs?"

"If I did do you think I would of been seeking out a healer to begin with?" came his sarcastic reply.

"You dont have to be such a pain about it, a simple yes or no would of surficed." she replied with a weary sigh.

"Let me clean out your wound then since I will get no peace with my chores at the moment." Kagome responded as she put her things to the side and went to her healers box and went over to his injured side. He winced when he saw her come near.

"What is wrong? Does it still hurt very much?" she asked, noticing the wince.

"Ya it still hurts but when you get to messing with it, it tends to hurt more." he grumbled.

"Stop being such a child, I only inflict what little pain I must to heal the wound." she replied, feeling bad that often times she had to relance the wound and drain it, causing him pain. As she had said, the poison that had been used on him, had been nothing she had ever dealt with, so she found that she had to daily drain it of certain toxins that the healing herbs she applied would push out from deep within and bubble into puss, which she would drain.

"Im not a Child wentch...you try having some piece of sharp metal poked into your wound daily then have it squeezed till blood flows freely and see if you dont wince everynow and then." he challenged. Kagome had to admit, this sort of treatment would have many in tears or at least a few yelps and moans but all he ever did was wince and shut his eyes, gritting his teeth. He never made any noise and dealt with it very well.

"I am sorry that I must do this to you..but If I do not it will not heal properly...and If I knew of a way to help with the pain I would gladly do it." Kagome gently said, feeling bad for him.

"How about a kiss?" came his whispered reply. At first it was so soft Kagome hadnt been sure she had heard it.

"Excuse me?"

"How bout you give me a kiss??? help me keep my mind off the pain?" he said louder and Kagome looked at him through narrow eyes.

"How can a kiss make your pain lessen?" she asked him with wariness.

"If you kiss me good enough Im sure I'll be too busy thinking bout the kiss instead of the pain." he explained casualy, throwing in one of his lazy cocky grins.

"Are you playing with me? Are you making fun of me?" Kagome asked skeptically. Even as her heart raced and her mind screamed at her to just kiss the man. She had been plaqued for an entire week with wicked dreams of this man and as much of a sin as it was, she so wanted to feel his lips upon hers, to see if the ones in her dreams were anything compared to real ones. Plus she would admit, if only to herself. For some strange reason she found herself attracted to the man more and more each day, even though she tried to fight it, she just knew he was working his way under her skin and into her heart.

"No Kagome Im not...just please...one kiss is all I ask...and I swear I wont ask it of you again." he stated with sincerity. He stared deep in her eyes and Kagome could see the sincerity in his violet eyes and wanted to melt into them.

~~~Before she knew it she was leaning into him and he was gently leaning into her. Soon thier lips met for a gentle caress. The first touch of his lips upon hers felt like sparks. She couldnt help the moan the escaped her mouth. They were soft and gentle upon hers. There was just enough pressure to make it sweet, but not invasive and enough moisture to make it perfect and not icky. All in all it was Kagome's first kiss and she thought it was the most perfect kiss in the world. Thier lips remained closed the whole time, but to Kagome, it was the only way she knew one kissed and it was heaven. But soon she needed air and both parted, panting.

"Thank you...now you can tend to my wound and Im sure I wont feel a thing." came his statement and it took Kagome a few minutes to gather her thoughts.

~~~Oh yes, I kissed him only to help with the pain of my tending to his wounds. It meant nothing, not to me, not to him. To him it was only just a means to an end. She thought sadly as she tended to his wound and true to his word, he acted as if he felt no pain. Inside though Kagome heart ached just a little. Did it not affect him at all she wondered? Was she a fool?

"What is your name?" she asked absently, not even conscience of having said it.

"What?" he asked with some surprise.

"Youve been here a week and yet I do not know your name yet you know mine." She replied, after realizing she had indeed spoken it outloud.

"Why does it matter?" he asked warily.

"I only know you as my captor....it would be....nice to call you something else." she replied with a blush as she worked on his wound.

~~~Inuyasha was not stupid. Even if he didnt have his hearing or his keen smell, he would know by the nieve way she acted around him. The wentch was becoming infatuated with him. One might even say falling in love. And he for one did not believe in love nor want it in his life. But for some reason he could not deny her this small request, after all she had done for him.

"Yash." he stated.

"Huh?"

"My name..its Yash." he replied, not wanting her to know his full name.

"The name suits you Yash...thank you." she replied as she blushed and went back to her work.

~~~That night Inuyasha pondered all that was happening and knew that he had to leave this village soon. As it was, even as she slept he dared touch her. Kagome, this sweet innocent girl who had healed him and tended to him, who had not betrayed him to his enemies. And now he knew the woman was having feelings for him and if he did not leave soon, he knew he might not be able to control his more baser instincts, not like he was doing a good job of controling now as it was, but the sooner he got out of there the better it would be for her and him both. Before he ended up doing something even stupider than hed already done. So from that night on, as she slept, Inuyasha was sneak from the small room and at first stayed close by, tended to the gardens and things like that, by pulling weeds and such as to make Kagome's job easier and help him move and stay strong. He kept quiet and no one ever saw or heard him, not even Kagome. When he could move more, he would wander into the woods and work out more, work his legs as well as his body and soon he was coming back with fish and wood and other game that he often left to make Kagomes life easier. kagome never knew who was doing all this and the added food during these colder nights was welcome, even if her meals were still meager, but she and her uncle figured they had a special and anonymous benifactor that helped when he could with silent gifts to the temple.
