InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Go Home Kagome ❯ Consequences ( Chapter 13 )

Thirteen: Consequences

 

Inuyasha lay on her bedroom floor rubbing his lower back glowering at Kagome. “I thought you grew up. Guess I was dead wrong.”

 

Kagome stared at him in disbelief. “How can you do that?”

 

“Do what?” he asked annoyed.

 

“You were just trying to convince me to spend the rest of my life with you AND bare your children, and then the next moment you're pulling the same old stupid stunts!”

 

Inuyasha made a typing motion with his fingers. “I only wanted to see how it worked.”

 

“You know how the keyboard works! You wanted me to all to yourself. You were jealous I was paying attention to someone other than you.”

 

Inuyasha turned away and huffed. He said nothing because there was nothing to deny. It was all true. His mood had been testy ever since they'd gotten dressed. Once she had her clothing back Kagome turned back into her practical modern self. Last night and this morning, now that was another story. She allowed him to touch and love her. Inuyasha slept clinging to her as though she his very life force. Kagome had given herself and he was determined to never let go. I don't care what she thinks…things are gonna change around here.

 

He looked over his shoulder and watched her shutting down the computer. “Kagome…I'm sorry.”

 

“Huh?” She turned to him in surprise. “Thanks Inuyasha.”

 

He leaned against the door watching her straighten the room. She looked up and smiled at him. “So what do you want to do today?”

 

He studied a finger claw and then casually glanced up at Kagome. “We need to go home.”

 

Kagome fought the urge to put her hands on her hips. “I am home.” She used a gentle but firm tone.

 

Inuyasha sighed and leaned his head back against the door. “We can settle that later but we need to go back.”

 

Kagome wanted to go back, she missed Sango and Miroku something terrible but she was suspicious. “I'd like to but I have to be back here tonight. I've work tomorrow and can't spend the night.”

 

Inuyasha nodded.

 

“Why are you so intent on going back today?'

 

“Because, you are mine and I want to make it known.”

 

Kagome groaned, “Is this about Koga?”

 

Inuyasha grinned. “I am looking forward to our next meeting but it's more than that. I must speak to Myoga.”

 

Kagome was perplexed, “I thought you didn't care about him?”

 

“I don't but my old man was powerful. Myoga will record our union and that will afford you an added protection when you're on my side of the well.”

 

“Oh…I had no idea.” Kagome sat on her bed.

 

Inuyasha sat next to her and buried his face in her hair.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

She felt his smile through her hair.

 

“I love you.”

 

He growled low and playfully. “I know.” Inuyasha pushed her down into the mattress and took her earlobe gently between his teeth.

 

Kagome took a deep breath and tried to ignore the heat from his mouth. “I want this but I'm not ready to be mated or married or whatever. I need time.”

 

“You were ready last night…” he murmured.

 

Kagome put her hand on his cheek. His golden eyes were serious and burned with an intensity that moved her. “I want you. I always have but we need to slow down.”

 

“Kagome. How can you not know what you want?”

 

She smiled, “Isn't that my line for you?”

 

He growled and turned away. “So, is this what the past years have been like for you while you were waiting on me? Did ya plan this? Is this your way of making me pay?”

 

A tear ran down Kagome's face. “No! Of course not, how can you think that?”

 

“In my world we are wedded but you won't have me.”

 

Kagome stood and railed at him. “You are a hanyou; you can choose to follow either a human or youki path. But you are choosing youki here? Why? Do you think I won't stay with you unless I have to?”

 

He sucked his breath in through his teeth. “Why should ya? Leaving is something you're very good at.”

 

“Inuyasha, that's not fair! My world isn't like yours. I left to create a better life for myself; one that I couldn't have by staying here. But I'm back now and I'm not leaving. I'm just not ready to live with you and have children.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes flashed and he snapped at her with his canines. He snatched Kagome up by her collar and kissed her. At first she pushed him away but soon she was returning the kiss and wrapping her arms around his neck. Inuyasha's ears fell flat against the top of his head as he ended the kiss and snorted.

 

“That's what I thought.” He tossed Kagome back on the bed and straddled her legs pushing her down onto the bed.

 

Kagome gazed up at him with glassy eyes. “Inuyasha”.

 

He'd effortlessly reduce her to the fifteen year old version of herself. His hands moved under her shirt and up her belly.

 

“Kagome is it this easy for you?” he whispered in her ear.

 

Lust drained from Kagome's body and was quickly replaced by blind rage and confusion. This isn't you?! She slammed her hands against his chest but he refused to budge. His weight alone held her fast to the bed. She thought for a moment than reached her hands above her hand.

 

Inuyasha caught her left hand in his and brushed his lips over her knuckles. “What's wrong Kagome? Did ya think you were getting off that easily? Isn't this the only thing you want from me?!”

 

The fingers of Kagome's right hand met with the edge of her nightstand. “Inuyasha…please don't do this!”

 

He said nothing and she opened her eyes and saw his eyes were fading from a mellow gold to an angry red. She ran her hand in desperation over the top of the bedside table. The she felt her hand tap against her heavy wooden back hair brush. She wrapped her fingers around it and concentrated. It's been so long since I've done this. I hope it still works.

 

Her angry half youki lover wrapped his clawed fingers gently around her neck and began putting pressure on her windpipe. She tried to yell Osuwari but nothing came out. She felt the brush charge with sacred energy. Kagome lifted her arm and lobbed it as hard as she could at the Inu-youki's head. The brush flew in a shower of white light and bounced off Inuyasha's head. He frowned then fell off the bed onto the floor.

 

Kagome pulled her legs up onto the bed and waited. Nothing happened. She peered over the side of the bed and saw Inuyasha lying on the floor. His face was expressionless and he was out cold. His lashes fluttered and she saw a glint of his red pupils.

 

What the hell happened? Inuyasha would never hurt me on purpose! Why did he change? She wrapped her hand around her throat and felt the beginnings of bruises. I don't understand but I'm getting the hell out of here.

 

She grabbed her purse then shut and locked her bedroom door behind her. Kagome sprinted out of the house and down the temple stairs to the bus station.

 

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

 

Inuyasha woke on the floor. He opened an eye but the bright light was painful. He snapped his eye shut and realized his was alone.

 

“Kagome?”

 

There was no answer. He tested the air and could smell Kagome but knew she was gone. What happened? The last thing he could remember was Kagome's face as she told him she wasn't ready. He was gazing at her throat focusing in on the sound of her heart beat and the rhythm of her breathing. He watched her moisten her lips with her tongue as she waited for his answer. Then he reached for her, kissed her and accused her off…

 

Did I hurt Kagome?

 

He sat up and saw the brush lying beside him on the floor. The covers on the bed he'd watch Kagome make earlier were tangled. Her purse was gone. Inuyasha tested the door and wasn't surprised to find it locked.

 

Inuyasha touched his head and felt a blistering welt forming from where she no doubt hit him with the brush. He sat on her bed and pulled his knees to his chest.

 

Fuck. It's only been less than half a day and everything is ruined. There is nothing I can do that would justify what ever the hell I did.

 

His hand formed a fist and he punched the bedside table. It fell on its side and broke in two.

 

I've been set up and damn the bastard who's responsible. Cause once I find you I'm gonna slit open your belly and hang you with your own entrails.

 

Inuyasha shook his head. Maybe I should wait until this is finished before talking to Kikyo…just in case.

Notes:

 

The characters have aged nine years since the anime so of course they are not the exact same people and now they have slightly bigger problems.

We've explored how Kagome's changed while she was away. Chapter thirteen delves into Inuyasha's past.
