InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Filling In The Cracks ❯ Sleeping With One Eye Open ( Prologue )

Prologue

 

I tend to sleep with one eye open. Why? So I can watch her sleep. Watch her breath. To know she's real and that she's with me. And I mean REALLY with me.

 

She ran away once. Not from the group or the feudal era. But from me. From us.

 

Ok, Ill admit there was no “us” at the time. But even then I thought of her as mine. As my mate.

 

Or at least that's what Inuyasha calls it.

 

Mating.

 

Except I'm human, so I guess its just sex. No. Scratch that. Nothing with Kagome Higarashi is just sex. Its making Love.

 

Well at least with Kagome and me it was that.

 

Something even when she left, and I found another, something that was still just her and me. Only Kagome and me could make love. Anyone else I had relations with… that was just sex. The others were just 4 on the list. After Kagome, breathing and food.

 

Sometimes I wonder if they were even on the list. They meaning the other girls. I personally believe I only had other lovers after Kagome was to stop thinking about her.

 

 

Of course, it never worked.

 

Which brings me to now.

 

To the girl in my arms. Back to Kagome.

 

Yes, she came back. And the reason she came back was what stumped me the most.

 

Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha told her to come back…to me.

 

I will never pretend to be surprised about it. Because its honestly surprising. Horrifyingly surprising even.

 

Ill admit Inuyasha scares me. And not just a little.

 

A lot.

 

Even after me and Kagome came out to the group. It wasn't Sango I was afraid of.

 

It was Inuyasha.

 

I remember that night. Like it wasn't even yesterday…but today.

 

I remember Shippo catching us, and I remember the confused glare, the hurt glare, and then there was the Inuyasha glare.

 

A glare all in its own.

 

The glare that said,” If you don't ger away from Kagome, Ill get you away from her myself.

 

But everyone could tell…I was drowning in Kagome.

 

And I was already in to deep to just be pulled out.

 

-KAGOME POV-

 

I guess you're confused as to why Miroku is sleeping with an eye open.

 

He scared. Scared Ill leave again. But…I wont. I'll never leave him again.

 

Maybe your confused about this all.

 

Maybe I shouldn't even be telling you this, it should be coming from the horse himself.

 

Now he's mad.

 

“But you're a cute horse Baby!” I tell him.

 

And its true. If he were a horse, he'd be the finest.

 

I think I made him feel better.

 

So what do they say in stories like these, hmmm? I seem to be drawing a blank on how to start all this off. So ill just let Miroku begin.
