Demonic Presence

The ratings for this story have been changed to reflect a minor lime in this chapter.

 

Tokyo University's archery squad was finishing up their afternoon practice at the range. A long queue of haystacks marked with bullseyes were laid out in front of the team. Inuyasha was watching the captain of their team, a beautiful raven-haired girl who was one of the team's best shots. Her wavy black hair was gently blowing in the wind and her chocolate brown eyes were intent on her target. He also looked at her long legs and the short skirt that she wore that was rustling in the wind. He decided that he could get used to this `protecting' job that he had agreed to.

 

Kagome pulled an arrow from her quill and placed it expertly within her bow. She pulled back and brought the arrow up next to her chin. She waited patiently to see how the wind was blowing. She could always tell the wind speed by how it played with her hair. She adjusted the arrow to compensate for the wind then she brought up her bow slightly to make up for the range to the target. At thirty meters the arrow would need to fly at an arch.

 

Pling. Pschu. Schick. The arrow flew loose from the bow and landed perfectly in the center of the red of the bullseye.

 

“Who nice shot Hirugashi!” yelled a brown-haired boy in appreciation. Inuyasha noticed that the boy was getting a little too close to Kagome for his comfort. The boys face dimpled up as he smiled at Kagome. Inuyasha felt a pit form in his stomach and he was starting to feel uncomfortable. Soon Inuyasha found his body traveling toward Kagome—almost by it's own volition.

 

“Yes, it was an excellent shot,” murmured Inuyasha as he stood between Kagome and the boy. “Um, Kagome don't you need to be heading home soon?” he asked.

 

Kagome stared at him for a moment and then smiled at him with a puzzled look on her face. “I still have six more arrows to shot in my quiver. I don't have to leave immediately. Why are you bored?”

 

Inuyasha started to scratch his head and looked a little embarrassed. “Uh, yeah, bored…” he said. “As if looking at you would get me bored,” he thought as he looked at her sheepishly.

 

“Who is this guy?” said the boy while pointing directly into Inuyasha's chest.

 

Inuyasha started to growl a bit and the boy started to step back a bit.

 

“Inuyasha!” said Kagome in exasperation. “You are supposed to help me. Not keep me away from everyone I know.” She paused briefly, “Inuyasha this is Hojo. Hojo is on the archery team with me. Hojo this is Inuyasha.” Suddenly Inuyasha decided that he would be getting to Kagome's archery practice early every day.

 

“And exactly who is Inuyasha?” said Hojo as the boy tried to get in front of Kagome again.

 

Kagome sighed in exasperation. “He's a family friend, Hojo. My Dad has asked him to watch over me and I guess Inuyasha is getting a little TOO carried away with his duties…,” Kagome finished as she glared at him.

 

“Look I'm here because of your father,” Inuyasha said. “And I bet he doesn't want you hanging around anyone who might be a threat.”

 

“A threat to whom, Inuyasha?” said Kagome. “My Dad knows him. Hojo's OK. Hojo couldn't hurt a fly.”

 

Hojo was looking a little hurt by Kagome's comment before she spoke up. “Hojo, my Dad is worried about me. He's having Inuyasha protect me. I just wanted Inuyasha to know that you wouldn't ever harm me.”

 

“Yeah,” murmured Hojo not knowing whether he should be upset or thankful at Kagome's comment.

 

“Come on Kagome!” yelled Inuyasha. He grabbed her arm and tried to put her bow and arrow away in her large backpack. “At least I know why it's so big,” he thought. “She has to pack a bow and quiver of arrows in it every day.”

 

Inuyasha had managed to pull Kagome away from the archery practice. He had one of her hands gripped in his and her body was trailing behind his as he was practically running away. “Can you wait up a bit, Inuyasha?” Kagome was calling.

 

Hojo stood still for a moment and looked at the girl he had known ever since high school running away with a stranger that he had never seen before. He sighed and scratched his head as he went back to shooting arrows at the range. He would have to give her that gift he had bought tomorrow instead.

 

“Inuyasha, you can't just order me around and pull me away from everything I am doing!” yelled an exasperated Kagome.

 

“Uh, well, archery is boring. Can I walk you home now Kagome, please?” Inuyasha looked down at Kagome with wistful eyes.

 

Kagome was taken back for a second and she looked back into his eyes. “Only if you take those horrid contacts off, Inuyasha,” she said as she crossed her arms.

 

“Oh, is that it?” said Inuyasha completely puzzled. But then he smiled. Well that is something he could easily do. “Sure!” he said befuddled. He quickly got out a contact lens case and pulled from the corners of each eye. As he gently pulled a brown contact popped out of each eye. He gingerly put them in his contact lens case and then squinted a couple of times to get used to the increased amount of light that his eyes were getting.

 

Kagome looked up at his golden eyes in wonderment. “Your eyes are so pretty. Why do you hide them away?” she said as she gazed right into his eyes.

 

Inuyasha swallowed. He really wasn't used to having her look at him that way, but he felt that he could get used to it. “Umm, my parents didn't want me to call any attention to myself. It's bad enough that my hair is…”

 

“Platinum blond, long and hair that any woman would die for…?” Kagome added with a smile.

 

“Oh, I never thought of it that way,” he said as he looked away from her in embarrassment. “Here,” he said as he took her backpack and they walked away from Tokyo University and towards the nearby subway station. Once they had made it into Shinjuku station Inuyasha noticed that his favorite ramen stand was open.

 

“Kagome!” Inuyahsa murmured in excitement. “Want to get some ramen?”

 

“You know I really shouldn't Inuyasha. My father wants me home before dark.”

 

“Oh, what did you say this morning about how you have no life? Live a little Kagome!”

 

She paused for a brief second, lost in thought and then she turned to Inuyasha and smiled. She had such a brilliant smile. Inuyasha felt that he could get lost in it. “You're right, I need to live it up a bit. I've been too careful lately. I want some ramen and some ice cream!” she said as she gathered her hands in front of her almost as if in prayer.

 

“Ice cream?” asked Inuyasha as they pushed their way past the short curtain covering the front of the ramen noodle shop.

----

Soon Inuyasha and Kagome had eaten their fill of freshly made, homemade ramen and had managed to visit an ice cream shop.

 

Kagome had a scoop of green tea ice cream. Inuyasha had a scoop of chocolate.

 

“I can't believe you are eating green tea ice cream,” said Inuyasha. “That has got to be so nasty.”

 

“No, it's not,” said Kagome as she licked the sides of the ice cream in obvious enjoyment. Inuyasha tried to not stare at her tongue as it deftly twirled around the ice cream cone. “Here, you try it!” she offered as she put the cone right in front of his nose.

 

“OK, I'll try it,” he said. Inuyasha gingerly licked it and his face went from puzzlement to surprise to elation. “That is sooo good,” he said. “Whoever thought that something that looked so green and gross could taste so good. Can I have another lick?”

 

“Sure,” said Kagome as she offered the cone to him again only to find that he bit off a large bite. “Hey!” said Kagome. “My cone. I get a bite of yours then!” Soon they were playing musical ice cream cones and were doing their best to grab a bite off of the other person's ice cream cone. Soon their antics got the best of them and both cones ended up on the floor.

 

“Ha ha!,” laughed Kagome as she doubled over and looked at the ice cream cones that were stuck to the floor. Inuyasha just looked forlorn as he looked at his chocolate cone dripping and melting into a gooey mess on the floor.

 

“It was kinda funny, wasn't it?” said Inuyasha as he started to laugh as well.

 

Kagome smiled in mirth as she grabbed a tissue from her purse and cleaned up the ice cream from the subway station floor.

 

“Thanks Inuyasha,” said Kagome as she stared up at him. “I haven't had that much fun in a long time.”

 

Inuyasha smiled as he took her hand and led her out of the subway station. It was just past sunset. The air was getting cooler and a dark haziness was settling over downtown Tokyo.

 

“Oh no,” said Kagome. “I didn't know it was this late. I'm not supposed to be out this late.”

 

“What do you mean Kagome. I'm here and that was just some silly rule of your Dad's,” said Inuyasha.

 

“No, it wasn't a silly rule,” Kagome grabbed her backpack from Inuyasha and pulled her bow and quiver of arrows out of it. She looked pretty funny with a bow and quiver slung over her shoulders in the middle of downtown Tokyo.

 

“They come out at dark Inuyasha,” said Kagome as she looked around warily. “I need to get home quickly. Please follow me. I know a shortcut, this way…”

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha cried as he ran to catch up with her. “What comes out at night?” he asked.

 

“The demons,” said Kagome seriously. “They have only come out at night so far. If I can make it back to the shrine during the daylight hours, they don't bother me. But if they find me away from a sacred zone when the sun sets they attack me.”

 

Kagome and Inuyasha were running and they had made their way between some of the larger skyscrapers in downtown Tokyo. They were in an alley when Kagome froze and motioned for Inuyasha to stop. “Get ready Inuyasha. Get out your sword. We need to stand back to back,” she said.

 

“Why what?” asked Inuyasha in confusion.

 

“I sense a demonic presence, it is here…,” she added with absolute certainty. They stood there for a moment, back to back. Her bow was ready and drawn. Inuyasha's sword was drawn from his scabbard and the mutilated blade flashed in the neon lights of downtown Tokyo. Even Inuyasha could feel the air getting cooler and he could now see his breath rising like fog in front of him. Then he felt the evil presence. Somewhere in the deep recesses of his soul he could perceive it. The feeling washed over Inuyasha like a terrifying, grating, ugliness that would not be ignored. Inuyasha may have been part demon, but what was coming to them was entirely evil and demonic.

 

He noticed shadows drifting against the walls and then they started to congeal into solid forms. Before the forms could entirely solidify Kagome shot an arrow at the first one. Her arrow was amazing. It wasn't just an arrow being shot. The arrow was a focus of all of her purifying energy. A sacred arrow of pure light and warmth erupted from Kagome's body and flew with her arrow toward the wall. Whatever the demonic presence was, it screamed as it was dissipated into dust. She readied another arrow as another demon started to solidify near her.

 

At the same time Inuyasha had his blade ready to strike. Instinctively he felt the need to protect the girl behind him. He suddenly felt the blade start to pulse as if it had a beating heart. He ignored the pulsing blade and then swung it at the demon in front of him that was trying to solidify. Suddenly the blade sprung to life and transformed into a large glowing blade that was taller than him. It flashed with energy. As he swung the sword in front of him all of the demons that had been trying to attack him magically evaporated with one stroke.

 

Then it happened all at once. Suddenly his pulsing blade and the necklace he wore both vibrated with energy and the energy pulsed into his body. He felt his ears on the sides of his face melt away and felt something forming on the top of his head. Then the memories took hold of him. In an instant that drew on like it was an eternity, the memories of his past life—over 300 years worth of thoughts—suddenly found their way back into his mind. It was like a fog had lifted. The memories had never left him; they were just clinging to some far corner of his mind and were never conscious thoughts. The clearest memory at this moment, or at least the one that he focused on was of Kagome. There were so many memories of her. They collided in his mind. Then a sweet memory of having sex with Kagome surfaced.

 

She was lying there underneath him, naked and bathed in sweat. He was entering into the deep recesses of her body and they were both alive with pleasure. She was so beautiful lying there, her ebony hair splayed out on the white sheets. Her eyes were gleaming and looking up at him in love. Her mouth opened to a deep “O” of pleasure as he moved in and out of her. Her hips rocked up and down underneath him to met him every time he would thrust into her. Her warm quivering insides caressed him and then she started to scream and writhe even more. Her fingers gripped his shoulders and her nails raked against his flesh. Then when he could hold on no longer he let the tidal wave of feeling that was welled up inside of him release into her.

 

He shook his head briefly in order to try to focus on the scene in front of him rather than a beguiling memory from the past. He made another sweep with his glowing sword and the air crackled around him as any demon that had tried to solidify wavered and disappeared into the night.

 

Just as suddenly as it began he felt the evil presence leaving the area. The air started to warm again and he could no longer see his breath. It wasn't until it was over that he noticed that he was breathing heavily. He spun around quickly, “Kagome!” he yelled. “Are you alright?” as he gripped her arms.

 

She looked up at him in a daze with her bow and arrow still in her arms. She dropped them as she looked up at him. “Inuyasha!” she exclaimed. “Your ears!”

 

“My ears?” he asked as he patted the top of his head. There was something fuzzy there that had never been there before. Or at least they hadn't been there since he was born. Those very ears that the doctors had lasered off of his head had returned. He groaned inwardly. It was bad enough that he had golden eyes and silver hair in a country where everyone had black hair and brown eyes. But to have dog ears? How could he ever live it down?

 

Kagome walked up to him and gingerly placed her small hands on his ears. “They feel like velvet,” she said with a smile. Her hands stroked his ears as she moved them up and down, feeling their warmth, the thin veins and the soft velvet of the silver hair on them.

 

The feeling of his ears being stroked brought back memories of sex when foreplay usually consisted of her licking and stroking his ears. “Ooohhh,” he moaned. Then he felt warmth and bloodflow starting to focus near his pelvis. He was hardening under her ministrations and his memories.

 

“Oh damn,” he said as he gently took Kagome's hands away from his ears. “Listen Kagome. I'd love nothing better than to have you stroke my ears, but let's get you back home as soon as we can. OK?” He made a point of staring directly into her eyes. He was trying his best to keep her from looking down at his pants. Luckily he was wearing briefs today and it wouldn't be quite as obvious. Though it was decidedly uncomfortable. He put his back to her as he picked up his scabbard and her bow and arrow. Then he stuffed everything into her backpack. “Owww,” he said. It really hurt to bend down in a pair of tight jeans with a hard-on.

 

“Are you OK Inuyasha?” kagome asked with concern.

 

“Oh, I'm fine…,” he said. “Just got a little bruised I think. I'll be fine.” “Boy that was a lie,” he thought.

 

He then stepped in front of her with his back facing her. He bent down and put his hands behind his back.

 

“Get on,” he said.

 

“Get on?” she said perplexed.

 

“Yeah, I can get you back quicker this way, don't you remember…?” said Inuyasha as it dawned on him that she didn't remember. He just got back three hundred years worth of memories and she didn't remember a thing.

 

“Remember? Remember what?” she said as she moved closer to him. Inuyasha sighed. He would just have to help her remember. He would just have to be patient again.

 

Once she was close enough he grabbed her and the backpack and with only a few leaps he was jumping across the buildings at night. He had never tried to do this before--at least in this lifetime. He had always walked like other humans. He knew that he could jump high, but since he had only been with other humans he had never even thought that he could do what he was doing.

 

Suddenly he felt so free and alive. It was as if he had been sleeping for the past eighteen years. “Wa hoo!” he yelled with Kagome nestled on his back behind his silver hair as he leaped home with her into the night.

The next chapter will have a few limes and is entitled `It's All About the Ears'. Fangirls should have a fun time with the next chapter. Hopefully I will get the next chapter written in a week or so.

 

Kovia: I'm glad you liked the manga scene. Did you also catch the reference to the “Change the World” theme song in Chapter 2?

tokio-japan543: I didn't really think about bringing the old Kagome and Inuyasha into the future since the current ones are reincarnations. Having two people with the same soul in the same time is too weird. But, hey—Rumiko Takahashi did it with Kikyo and Kagome. So I'll think about it.
