Chapter 6: Secrets Revealed

By Tainted InuShemeeko

InuYasha beat his head up against the red tile of his shower. How could he have just walk into the shower like that?

`Baka, that's what I am. I let my thoughts get all wrapped up that I forgot all about Kagome still being here.'

InuYasha then glanced at his reflection in the shower glass. His usually hazel brown eyes now had flecks of gold swimming in them.

"Damn it all, the tonic must be wearing off and I was in such a hurry to leave this morning I didn't ever bother with making any of the stuff up."

He then glanced at his reflection in the glass on the shower door; his eyes seemed to be the only part of him that seemed to have changed. For his hair was still its raven color, meaning that he hadn't totally started to change back into his hanyou form.

"Looks like I'll have to explain things to Kagome today. It sure as heck doesn't look I'm going to get to wait an extra week like I wanted too."

Once he was clean InuYasha shook the water out of his hair, he then wrapped a blue towel around his waist as he stepped out of the shower.

`Maybe if I'm lucky Kagome won't notice that my eyes are a different color. Then again that's a stupid idea; Kagome always looks at me when talking to me so of course she'll notice my eyes. I'll just have to wait and hope that her reaction is a good one.'

InuYasha then walked into his bedroom where he then thumbed through his shirts in his closet. He chose a pair of black dress pants and then slipped into them. He then started looking at his shirts. He was unsure which dress shirt he should wear, it was no secret that Sesshomaru was against the way that InuYasha dressed at times.

After a few minutes of flipping through his seemingly endless closet of dress shirts, InuYasha found a shirt that pleased him. His choice had been a sea foam green cotton dress shirt.

"Feh bet Sesshomaru, will have a field day with me tonight. Oh well like I care what he thinks about me. He's hated me for as long as I can remember."

InuYasha slipped his shirt on as he walked over to his dresser, and chose a gold chain. He then buttoned the first four buttons at the bottom of his shirt as he tucked it in and made his way out of his room.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888

Kagome's hips swayed to the music as it pour out of the radio. It had been years since she had heard this song, and she loved it, it was one of those songs that seemed to free her soul and take away all her worries.

[I feel like I've been locked up tight- For a century of lonely nights

Waiting for someone to release me

You're lickin' your lips and blowing kisses my way

But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away

Baby, Baby, baby]

InuYasha pulse quickened as he took in the sight in front of him. His now honey gold eyes followed each one of Kagome's movements as she continued to dance. Her hips continued to move to the beat as she put her hands about her head.

[Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(My body's sayin' let's go, go)

Oh , oh, oh, oh, oh

(but my heart's sayin' no, no)]

InuYasha continued to watch Kagome's movements as she danced in his living room.

`Here Kagome, told me she couldn't dance. Now there's no way for me to believe that now.'

His right foot tapped lightly on the carpeted floor as he too started to keep time with the beat of the music.

[If you want to be with me baby there's a price to pay

I'm a genie in a bottle

You gotta rub me the right way

If you want to be with me

I can make your wish come true

I gotta like what you do

You gotta make a big impression

If you want to be with me]

Before he really knew what he was doing he was standing behind Kagome, his hips moving with hers as he whispered into her ear.

"For someone who told me that they couldn't dance. I think you move great."

[The music's banging and the light's down low

Just one more dance and we're good to go

Waitin' for someone who needs me

Hormones racing at the speed of light but that don't mean

It's gotta be tonight

Baby, Baby, Baby]

Before Kagome had a chance to react, InuYasha's right arm snaked around her waist, as he pulled her against his chest. Her voice caught in her throat as she felt every chiseled muscle in InuYasha's chest pressed into her back. Kagome tried hard not to blush as his hips swayed with hers, right then and there Kagome was sure that she was about to melt onto the floor right then and there. In one quick movement InuYasha twirled Kagome to where she was now leaning into him, her hands laying against the small part of his chest that was still exposed.

[If you to be with me baby there's a price to pay

I'm a genie in a bottle

You gotta rub me the right way

If you want to be with me

I can make your wish come true

Just come and set me free, baby and I'll be with you]

Their lips brushes against each other's as Kagome tried to steady her feet under her. She then caught herself staring into InuYasha's eyes, there was defiantly something different about them. They seemed to be so hypnotic now, something Kagome didn't remember them being before.

"Kagome, I need to tell you something that's very important."

InuYasha had taken himself by surprise at how husky and soft his voice had sounded, causing him to clear his throat before he continued.

"I guess there's no way to say this, but to come on out and say it. I just want you to know that I completely understand if you never want to see me again, after this."

Suddenly his cream and maroon carpet became most interesting for a moment before he continued with what he wanted to say.

"Kagome, I'm not really a human, I'm a hanyou."

The minute those words seemed to slip between his lips. InuYasha felt his demon blood pulse through is veins. His once black hair turned a silvery-white, two silver dog ears popped out onto the top of his head and claws appeared where his human nails once where.  Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing the guy she had become friends with for more then a month and a half was a hanyou.

InuYasha's ears flattened to the top of his head as he prepared for Kagome to scream and then curse at him, calling him a freak. Yet the name-calling never came instead Kagome continued to stare at him in disbelief as her eyes fill with tears. Neither of them knew what to say, and so they both remain silent. When suddenly the soft sound of Kagome's voice broken through the silence.

"Why, why couldn't you let me see what you were sooner? Did you forget that I know what it's like to be called names?"

InuYasha was completely speechless; he didn't really know why he felt like he could tell her about this sooner. It was just…

"I…I was afraid, I was afraid that if you knew what I really was that you would run away from me. Just like so many girls before, just like Kikyo had."

She took a few minutes to take in everything InuYasha had just told her, before she asked one question that was now nagging at her.

"What about Miroku and Sango do they know about your little secret?"

InuYasha pulled in a breath as his now honey golden eyes stared into her own brown eyes.

"Yeah they do, but you got to understand that they grew up with me. They were my childhood friends, it's not that I didn't trust you it's just that I've always had a hard time trusting people."

Kagome took a few minutes to take in everything that InuYasha had just told her. However her silence only managed to scare InuYasha even more. If she was being silent would that only mean that she was only thinking about a gentle way of telling him that it wasn't going to work out. He held his breath as he waited to hear her answer. The air he had been holding slowly escaped from his lips as he heard her answer.

"I see and I want you to know that I understand. If I had a secret like yours I wouldn't want to trust that many people with it either."

She smiled as she watched his ears straightened out on top of his head. Causing her smile to widen as she continued to look at him, she had never met anyone like him before. From the first moment she met him, Kagome felt close to him like he understood her some how. He also made her laugh, something she hadn't done much of since the accident.

"Kagome I…"

Kagome placed a finger against his lips stopping him from saying anything more. She then did something InuYasha hadn't expected her to do; she placed her soft lips on his cheek and kissed him.

"InuYasha, I've had enough time to think about how I feel about you. I really have. I never believed in love at first sight. That was until I met you, I…I'm falling for you InuYasha Taisho and you know what, being a hanyou isn't going to change that. Of course it does explain a lot of things."

InuYasha couldn't believe what he was hearing. Kagome was starting to fall in love with him. He couldn't believe it, none of the girls he had ever dated before had ever told him that before.

The sound of giggling brought InuYasha out of his thoughts. Then without warning the giggling stopped as quickly as it had started, as he heard Kagome gasp.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Your brother Sesshomaru called, he said it was very important that you call him back as some as you got in."

InuYasha's breath was almost stolen from him as he looked at Kagome as she smiled. It was so bright and full of life; it was as if she knew he was a hanyou all along.

"Uh, oh ok thanks. Guess I should go and call the All High and Mighty now."

He smirked when he heard Kagome giggle once again. Maybe Kagome knowing his big bad secret wasn't going to be as bad as he first thought it was. InuYasha made it over to the phone and dialed Sesshomaru's number.

~~On the Phone~~

"What'cha want Sesshomaru? I know for a fact that I'm your least favorite person in the world."

The phone crackled on the other side as Sesshomaru answered his brother.

"True enough little brother, I only wished to make sure you planned on coming to the banquet tonight."

InuYasha leaned against the wall as he continued to talk to his older brother.

"Yeah, yeah whatever Sesshomaru, and don't worry I'm coming to the banquet tonight. Even though it's the last thing I want to do."

The voice on the other end of the line remained cold as it responded to InuYasha's words.

"As you wish little brother, for we have much to discuss with one another."

There was a pause on the line before Sesshomaru spoke to InuYasha again.

"Oh and InuYasha, I request that you bring the young woman that I spoke too earlier with you. Perhaps if she is with you, you shall enjoy yourself better. Good day InuYasha."

There was a click from Sesshomaru's end of the line, causing InuYasha to growl as he hung his end up.

`Damn that Sesshomaru, why the hell does he all ways end up talking me into things? Oh right because if I anger him in anyway I lose all my paid tuition for college.'

InuYasha tightened his right hand into a fist as he stared at the phone.

"One of these days Fluffy I'm going to get you back."

He then turned to face Kagome. InuYasha pulled in a breath and then let it out.

"Kagome, I would be honored if you would accompany me to my brother's banquet."

Kagome stood there speechless for a moment she could believe what she was hearing. Was InuYasha Taisho asking her out on another date?

"You want me to go to your brother's banquet with you?"

InuYasha raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.

"Yeah, I do is there something wrong with that?"

Kagome's eyes widened when she realized what she had just said.

"Oh no, no not at all, it's just that my mom's business is going to be catering it tonight."

InuYasha shrugged as he looked over at Kagome.

"So what's the big deal? You've got the night off right, so why not be my date tonight."

Kagome was shaking off her initial shock, as she pointed a key fact about something.

"InuYasha I would love to go with you to night, but I don't have anything grand enough to wear to one of Sesshomaru's banquets."

The only thing he gave her was a small smile as he walked over to the couch. He then sat down and swung his legs, so then he was laying on the couch. He sighed as he closed his eyes as he spoke.

"Hey don't worry about it, I'll give Kaede a ring after while and have her pick up a dress for you. In the mean time, the bed's yours again."

Hearing this Kagome became confused.

"What, but why, would I need the bed."

InuYasha's voice was calm and gentle as he explained to her.

"Sesshomaru's banquets usually last all the way to midnight, sometimes they're even longer. If you take a nap now you'll be rested for tonight."

Kagome stood there for a moment before she spoke.

"Oh, well g'night then."

InuYasha managed to mumble something back at her as well.

"Yeah, same to you."

Kagome smiled as she looked down at him. She then walked back to his room, here it was eleven-fifteen and she was going back to bed, and once again it was InuYasha's.

She then mumbled one thing as sleep started to surprisingly claim her.

"I think I could get use to this."

InuYasha's dog ear twitched as a soft smile appeared on his lips. For unknown to Kagome his keen ears had picked up her last words as she fell asleep.

`That's something we have in common. I think I could get use to having her around.'
