InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Full House ❯ Sidetracks ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter 10: Sidetracks

AN: I know that you guys asked what happened to the rest of the gang, here is a chapter about what happens to everyone else….kinda….but first….

I was jerked out of my thoughts when a warm kiss was planted on my cheek. Confused, I looked down at the girl beside me.

`How did I get in this position anyways?' I thought looking at her thin arms on my chest.

She was practically -_in my lap_.

Scratch that….she just moved. She was in my lap. Her head was resting on my chest and my tail was wrapped around her thin frame. I also noticed that my arms were around her.

Somehow….it felt….right….

`Wait….what am I thinking? How can holding a _human_….feel….right?' I thought wrinkling my nose at the sheer thought.

`It does Sesshoumaru….' A voice said in my head. `It was destiny that you two be together….yokai or not….'

`It's not possible….' I "said" to it.

`Feel Sesshoumaru….feel it in your heart….'

`Feel what in my heart?' (AN: *thud* X.o)

The voice didn't reply.

I shrugged.

`Just for tonight….' I thought.

I then tightened my arms around her and leaned back against the tree drifting off into unconsciousness….

***Somewhere Else***

"AHHH!! HENTAI!! GET AWAY!!"

A shrill scream pierced the darkness of the night.

"Get away! I told you not to look Miroku!" Sango cried clutching a towel to her chest.

Miroku turned his head quickly and stared at the floor.

"What are you talking about Sango?" he asked looking at her, eyes filled with pure innocence.

Sango made a very sharp exasperated noise and tugged a shirt on with her back to him.

"But you WERE!" she said grabbing the wet towel she had used to dry off and starting to flog Miroku with.

"Ow! Ow! Sango! I _wasn't_ looking! Ow! Cut that out!"

"Miroku, would you rather me replace this wet towel with Hiraikotsu?"

Shippou, who was watching the whole ordeal, winced at her words.

"No." Miroku said rubbing his sore shoulder.

"Good, but I'm going to hold Hiraikotsu anyways." Sango said leaning down to pick up the oversize boomerang.

Miroku tilted his head at the right time.

"I SAW THAT!!"

WHACK!!

Shippou winced again.

Miroku was on the floor, unconscious.

Shippou had learned never to cross Sango when she was angry and shuffled behind her.

Kirira mewed softly and rubbed up against Sango's legs then moved between them to nuzzle Shippou who responded whole-heartedly.

Sango huffed at the unconscious monk and stormed off to start a fire.

***Elsewhere….***

"I-I'm….PREGNANT?!?!?" Kikyou screamed as realization hit her.

Inu Yasha nodded his head, looking at the floor in shame.

"INU YASHA….YOU GOT ME….A SUPPOSEDLY _DEAD_ WOMAN….PREGNANT?!!?!?" she yelled in disgust.

"Kikyou….I….you know I love you and that I'll back you up every step of the way…." He mumbled.

She snorted.

"Back me up? Back me up!? Last time you wanted to become human like me and live with me for the rest of our lives….YOU GOT MANIPULATED AND NEARLY KILLED ME!! I don't even know how I trusted you."

"Kikyou! I WILL back you up. Naraku's dead….we killed him. Bang! End of story! He cannot do anything to come between us again…." He protested weakly.

"But….But….Oh….I guess you're right….But what will become of our child?" she asked him, tears in her eyes.

"Let it be."

"Do you _want_ this child? It's going to be half hanyou….is that what you want?"

He nodded.

She sighed and walked over burying her face in his shoulder. "I just hope we know what we're getting into love…."

***Back Where We Started…..Next Morning***

I woke up warm….once again. It felt really nice. I noticed that I was in Sesshoumaru's lap.

`What….?' I thought yawning. I got an evil idea to wake him up. No more messing with his hair. He nearly killed me.

I'd do something….more erotic….

I leaned back into his toned chest and stretched my head back, craning my neck and nuzzling my face into his neck. I started to place feather-like kisses down the length of his neck. He moved unconsciously into my kisses and mumbled something that sounded like "Go away Shirmina…." He groaned….very un-Sesshou-like….

`Shirmina?' I thought puzzled….I would have to do my research.

I turned around in his arms and straddled him.

"Wake up Sesshou…." I whispered sexily in his ear. I grinned wickedly and ran my tongue around the cartilage on his ear.

He jerked awake.

"Human!" He cried shoving me off of him.

I smiled.

"So you finally woke up!" I said wickedly at him.

He looked at me with an unreadable expression, desperately trying to conceal the pink that crept up on his pale cheeks.

`What was that? Embarrassment?'

I smiled innocently at him. I noted that he was panting slightly.

Oops….not a good sign….

He turned and glared at me with all the pride and nobleness he could muster.

"Don't….do….that….again…." he panted.

"You were the one who was holding me….I just played along!" I said heatedly, defending myself.

Emotions stirred within his golden eyes, but he quickly glazed them over and turned his back to me.

"Let's just go…."

I nodded sullenly and trailed behind him.

`Guess he didn't like the way I woke him up….'

~*~

`The hell was she thinking? Why did she do that….I mean….she kissed me….and it felt….good….'

I thought as I walked. I stopped by a small pond and looked at my reflection in the crystal clear water.

All white.

Would I be tainted?

Would I disgrace my family?

Would I disgrace myself?

Most definitely.

But would I risk it for a girl….more or less….a _human_ girl?

She appeared beside me in my reflection and looked at me with the saddest expression I had ever seen.

It hurt me.

To see her like that.

Why?

I didn't love her.

I didn't feel anything more for her other than friendship.

Did I?

Do friends think about each other constantly?

Do friends hug each other at night when they get cold?

Do friends wonder what it's like to be in love?

I don't know….I've never had one.

Then why do I act like it was something more?

Why do I feel like I'm denying the truth from myself?

Disturbing.

What if….there was something more?

"Sesshou?" her voice made me snap out of my trance.

"I'm sorry….I'm really sorry….I really am, but….to see you like this makes me feel….sad…."

I looked at her, startled.

`Why would she be sad because I was?'

I drifted off again.

I heard a splash and saw Kagome's body dive into the pond.

I sat by a tree, disturbing thoughts continuing to run through my mind.

I heard a yelp and loud splashes.

Kagome!

I jumped up and dashed to the pond.

"Help!" a gurgled voice cried.

Something was pulling her down into the depths of the deep pond.

I leapt in and grabbed her hand as she was getting dragged down.

My hand slipped.

She uttered one last scream before she was yanked down to the depths of the dark liquid abyss….

AN: Woah…what a cliffy! Don't kill me! Review!!

Now a little note to some of my reviewers….

Candy - I wish I could write a little more. Actually, I will try whole-heartedly, but I'm not guaranteeing anything. Even if I do squeeze some things in, it won't speed up the pace of my updating, it will only make the chapters longer….something I'm sure you would want to! I'm trying….I'm trying….thanks for your support!

Lexi - Yeah, I know, this story is OOC, but, hey! OOC makes the world a better place! XD Well, not really, but, I just wanted something revealed about Kagome's hidden past….*sigh* I'll try not to make the OOC a little less! Thanks for telling me!

Katzztar - Thank you for telling me! But….I still have no idea what that sword's name is! = ( I do love feedback from people like you! I'll try to correct that, but if I can't find anything to replace Tensaiga….I guess it stays. If you can find anything that replaces that, please contact me. Thanks!

Misori-Chan - I do think that the stripes were natural….but I needed to add a good laugh in this fic! heehee….thanks for telling me!

Sapphire - Wow, a user name that doesn't make Microsoft Word go crazy over! No offense to any others, I find them all unique and some rather cool! Yes, you brought up the same point that Misori-Chan did. I do think they must have been natural, but we can't have Sesshoumaru running around with missing stripes now can we? =) Thanks!

Ginny Riddle - Thank you also! I seemed to have forgotten that they were in Kagome's time….*knocks self on the head* I just drift off into my world, and continue criticizing, it helps me become a better writer! Well, let's see if I can answer your questions….I will make Kagome's outfit change if that is possible in the next few chapters with an AN of course, and about the park….hm….I guess I will have to make up a rural area in Japan! ^^ Hey….it could happen! Thanks!

AN: Thank you to every other reviewer who took the time to review my story….there are just too many to list separately! ~_^ If you have any questions…review me or email or IM, whichever you choose! It's a great ego booster!
