InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Even If You Cannot Hear My Voice ❯ Kagome's inner struggle ( Chapter 4 )

ATTN! LIME WARNING UP AHEAD! SOUND THE ALARM! :P

 

 

Kagome lathered up the best she could. She wasn't really focusing on what she was doing, and though it was a stream, it was a fairly large and deep enough to cover her just enough so only the tops of her breasts could be seen. Humming softly, she told Kirara that she was just about done and to go ahead to the camp and that she'd soon catch up. Kirara would've stayed just out of Kagome's sight if she didn't smell a certain hanyou lurking in the trees, and with a sound that could only be described as a kitten sigh of exasperation, she delicately stalked away.

 

“Damn, that girl sure likes her baths!” He said gruffly. He wasn't spying. He was protecting her. After all, whenever she was about to lift body parts out of the water to scrub them, he did turn around. Just because sometimes it took him longer than others didn't mean he was a hentai like that stupid monk. Besides, he was actually going to tell her that he went to see Kikyo first before everyone started getting on his fucking case about it. Yes, I saw Kikyo…No, we only talked about Naraku (and what will happen when every part of him has been destroyed, but she doesn't need to hear that)…Yes, I want to choose you over her and spend every minute of every day with you and not that undead shell of a person-wait, no. STOP THINKIN ABOUT KAGOME!

 

Inuyasha then proceeded to dig his claws in his fists. Pain was sure to make him stop thinking about how fucking sexy she was down there using that soap stuff that didn't hide her natural scent but melded with it to make her smell… OH SHIT! She's getting out! He thought as he hurriedly turned his extremely red face around just before her lower backside rose out of the water as she was pulling herself out.

 

“Uhh! It's always so hard to get out when I'm all wet like this! Why in Kami's name does grass have to get so slippery anyways?” Kagome was always careful not to trip on tree roots, or rocks, or her own feet, but for some strange reason she was always doing those things. I'm not a clutz! She told herself indignantly. I just…haven't grown into a fully graceful adult yet! I'm only 17!

 

“Yeah, right” she proclaimed aloud. “Puberty was over quite some time ago! Get a grip, girl!”

 

“Ehh? Pew-bird-ee? What the fuck is that?” Inuyasha was extremely confused, and sincerely hoped this bird thing had nothing to do with him, but his thoughts were cut short when he heard-

 

“Uahhhh!” Kagome's less than agile feet had slid on a particularly slippery patch of grass, and she found herself about to fall on her face.

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha shouted as he bounded out of the tree with such speed that he looked to be nothing more than a red and silver blur. He caught her way before she was even close to hitting the ground. Keh! Stupid girl. He thought as set her on her feet.

 

KAMI, I'M NAKED!!! Kagome screamed in her head as Inuyasha became deeply aware of their situation and hurriedly took off his robe of the fire rat to cover her.

 

”Uh…Arigato…Inuyasha…” Only someone with Inuyasha's sensitive ears could've heard what she said since she had spoken in a breathy whisper.

 

“Keh! Baka, you can't even walk! It's no wonder I have to carry you around all the time. Even by a weak human's standards, you're helpless!” He then promptly turned around crossing his arms across his chest, hoping Kagome hadn't seen the light blush he still donned.

 

Kagome had caught a glimpse of his blush as he faced away from her, but she couldn't talk when her entire face was the more scarlet than the robe she was now wearing!

 

“Uh…I'll just gather my things, and then we can go back.” Her voice wavered as thoughts of Inuyasha and Kikyo's meeting crept up to the forefront of her thoughts.

 

Inuyasha still wanted to briefly discuss Kikyo with Kagome before they would head back to camp, but he thought he probably shouldn't. Better just announce what she had told him to the group about Naraku and keep silent about the whole Kikyo being determined to take him to Hell with her part.

 

“'Kay…” Kagome said as she started walking through the brush. She tossed Inuyasha's robe over her shoulder before stepping onto the forest's natural path. Inuyasha grabbed it midair and quickly put it on before following a few feet behind her. Dammit. She's pissed. He growled out a low moan. Dammit. Dammit. DAMMIT!!

 

Kagome broke the silence with “So what did Kikyo want to talk to you about?” She said as uninterested-sounding as she could.

 

“*Sigh.* Kagome, look at me.” Kagome started turning around, but it was apparently not fast enough for Inuyasha as he grabbed her shoulders and turned her around himself. “Nothing happened, okay? She needed to tell me some important information about Naraku, and…” Fuck.

 

“And? And what?!” Kagome knew what. Kikyo probably told him over and over that he was hers and only hers, and he better not forget about her, and…

 

“*sigh* You already know what…” Fuck, I am such a baka.

 

Kagome squirmed and tried to wriggle out of his grip. “Inuyasha! Let me go!” She cried.

 

“No. I won't let you go. You have to understand. I don't have a choice.” It always pained him to see her like this. He was supposed to defend her and save her from harm, and here he was being the cause of her pain. Some fucking protector I am. He told himself miserably.

 

“You always have a choice.” She stated plainly as he let her go. She took off towards the camp as fast as her legs could carry her. She had no control over the burning tears streaming down her face this time. She felt an excruciating pain clenching her chest as she tried to focus her thoughts. Why am I so stupid?! It's not like we are even a couple! She explained to herself as she turned down a path that didn't lead to the camp.

 

“I can't let them all see me like this!” She yelled. “I don't want to be the reason why everyone's all upset again!” And she gasped as something solid had jumped right in front her making her slam right into it.

 

“Kagome! Did that dog-breath upset you again?! I'm going to kill him this time for sure for making you cry!!!”

 

“Koga-kun! You scared me!” She didn't want to deal with this right now. It was barely noon, and she had dealt with enough already. I knew this was going to be a bad day. She silently drawled.

 

Koga swiftly grabbed her hands and tried to calm her down. “Kagome, I am so sorry if I startled you. I know how much that dog-breath hurts you, and I just had to make sure you were alright.” Heh. Kagome's gotta see how much better I am for her! I'm not a stinking two-timer or a lousy hanyou, either! I'm always gentle with her, and I'm a much better provider than that stupid mutt!

 

Inuyasha noticed that Kagome's scent had changed direction, and he became slightly worried until another scent caught his nose.

 

“KOGA, THAT FUCKING WOLF! He better not touch her!!!” he growled out angrily. He's always trying to make me look bad in front of Kagome. And she's always so nice to him! I wish she would just let me kill the bastard! It would be easier to get his jewel shards that way since he won't give them up as long as he's alive! Inuyasha rushed toward the spot where Koga was still holding Kagome's hands.

 

“KOGA! LET HER GO, YOU MANGY WOLF!” She's mine, dammit. That stupid wolf is dying today! he professed to himself confidently.

 

“Kagome LIKES being held by me, DOG BREATH!”

 

“Koga-kun…uh…” Kagome took her hands away from Koga and let out a sigh.

 

“Don't worry, Kagome.” Koga said to her softly as Inuyasha was about to draw Tetsaiga. “I'll get rid of him for you, and we can be alone again.” He jumped away from Kagome to make sure that stupid half-breed didn't start just swinging his bloated sword around and hit his Kagome.

 

“Koga, that's not why I…” Kagome called out as she rolled her eyes. He's definitely sure of himself! Kagome told herself while looking at the all-too-familiar scene in irritation.

 

“DIE, WOLF!” Inuyasha cried as he slashed at the airborne wolf-demon.

 

 

 

 

“Kagome-chan sure has been gone for awhile!” Sango exclaimed worriedly.

 

“Indeed. But I am fairly certain that Inuyasha should be with her by now, my dear Sango.” Miroku had grabbed Sango's shoulders and looked into her eyes with focused sincerity. “You needn't worry. I will always be here to look after you.”

 

“Huh? But I was talking about-HENTAI!!!!” Sango screamed as the lecher monk took advantage of her moment of confusion to caress her backside.

 

“Sango! You misunderstand! I was only trying to comfort you!”

 

“Save it, you perverted houshi!” She cried out as she hit Miroku on his head with her Hiraikotsu.

 

“Sango, please!” Miroku pleaded as he massaged the tender bump forming on his skull. She's been resorting to Hiraikotsu too much lately. He contemplated darkly. Somehow I have to get in her a position where it would be much easier to slap me. Ah…the sweet sting of Sango's perfect hand touching my face… It was much harder for Miroku to resist Sango when she was in that tight leather armor of hers that clung so seductively to all of her well-proportioned curves, but she was always closer to Hiraikotsu when she was dressed like that.

 

Hmmm…this will take some planning…He thought as Sango stormed off into the woods. He frankly couldn't believe that her own father let her dress like that from a very young age. They did all dress like that. He supposed, but he would never let a daughter of his dress like that when there were people like him around! I wonder if Sango's daughter would have the same fire in her eyes that she has. He thought admirably as he watched Sango's slender figure disappear into the distance.

 

 

 

 

Author's note: OKAY, I know! Way too obvious, right? Well, can you honestly say there's won't be at least ONE MORE bath scene in the manga? I didn't think so. There has to be another Koga/Inuyasha fighting scene as well. Sorry, but that's how it is.
