Chapter 10: Unbelievable Circumstances

 

 

By the time they pulled into InuYasha's parking space, Kagome had worked up her excitement and anticipation of seeing his apartment for the first time. She could hardly contain her curiosity and had temporarily forgotten about her current bedraggled appearance. What would she see inside. Maybe black paint and voodoo dolls and skulls adorning the wall.

 

Her eyes fairly sparkled with the possibility of doing some long overdue snooping. She wondered if he was a boxers of briefs kinda guy. This thought got her started down another train of lascivious thoughts that she quickly tramped down. There was no need to start thinking that way, it wasn't like anything was gonna happen between them. They'd nearly gone down that road already and it hadn't turned out well. Right?

 

“What's up Kagome? You look kinda weird.” InuYasha had been watching as her eyes narrowed and her mouth slowly curved into a semblance of a sly smile. The effect was unnerving to say the least. What could she possibly be thinking about. Whatever it is I hope the poor bastard doesn't end up dead.

 

“Oh nothing.” She replied too sweetly. “ Just imagining what the inside of your apartment would look like.”

 

“Well here's your chance.” He said as he angled himself out of the car. Kagome stifled an excited squeal and reached for the door handle. She was surprised when it opened before she had even touched it. InuYasha stood with his hand on the door frame and a gin on his face. He wagged his thick black eyebrows at her and said, “You didn't think I could be a gentleman didja?” He held his other hand out to help her out of the car and chuckled at her astonished expression.

 

“Uh. . . th-thanks InuYasha.” She managed to stammer out. OMG Sango is gonna die when I tell her about this.

 

They walked to InuYasha's ground floor apartment and stood looking at the door. Kagome held her breath and InuYasha gave her a sidelong glance and smirked. He unlocked the door and let it swing inward. He reached in and flipped the light switch. Kagome took a quick look around and was slightly disappointed by the white wall that faced her. It was the front hall.

 

“So what were you expecting?” InuYasha said leaning on the door jamb.

 

“Voodoo dolls and shrunken heads.” Kagome's mouth worked faster than her brain at the moment and she quickly clapped a hand to her mouth. She said something that sounded a lot like “oh shit” and stole a quick glance at InuYasha.

 

InuYasha threw his head back and gave a bark of laughter that echoed off of the walls. He ushered a blushing Kagome inside and closed and locked the door. “I'm not into that dark mood crap. I prefer to enjoy myself. I love the music and the clothes but I'm not into the decor.”

 

Kagome took a good look around the living room and subconsciously approved. Framed band posters hung around the walls. The beige overstuffed couch was micro suede and classic. There was a big screen TV opposite the couch and a huge petrified stump that had been polished to within an inch of its nonexistent life served as a coffee table. On the far wall were two large bookcases. One was filled with books and records and the other was filled with DVD's.

 

Hanging over the couch and between posters of The Misfits and Subhumans was a familiar item. She remembered seeing it in his parent's home and she also remembered the huge fights that he and Sesshoumaru would have about who would inherit it when they grew up.

 

The black sheath was battered and the lacquer was chipping in places. There was a hairline crack running the length of it. The binding on the handle was frayed and dingy. The golden hilt dulled. All in all most people would take one look at the sword and see trash. Kagome knew that it was beautiful. It had a long and colorful history with the Taisho family. And she also knew that if it were unsheathed, the Tetsaiga (as the sword was called) would be as bright and sharp as the day it was forged. The family had that much pride in it.

 

“So, Papa Taisho decided you would bear the Tetsaiga.” She didn't take her gaze from the sword.

 

InuYasha stepped up beside her and followed her gaze to the sword. “Yeah,” he said, voice serious with pride, “ It had always been his wish. He gave it to me last year when Grampa Totosai died. Fluffy was pretty pissed until he heard that dad was gonna give him Sounga and Tenseiga.”

 

“He got two swords?” She could have easily imagined InuYasha's indignation at this but when she looked over his face was as calm as it had been moments earlier.

 

“Tenseiga was useless and Sounga gave me the creeps, kinda like Sesshoumaru.” he smiled at this comment and continued, “ Me though, I'm more like Tetsaiga here. I take a lickin and keep on tickin ya know.”

 

She couldn't help but giggle at his reasoning and earned a curious glare from her companion.

 

“What's so funny?”

 

“Nothing.” more giggling.

 

He sighed and gave up. Taking in her tangled hair and torn clothing he smiled his own deprecating smile. “I guess you wanna brush your hair and borrow a change of clothes huh?”

 

“Oh yeah.” She had forgotten about her appearance but upon remembering her face burned a furious red. “Um InuYasha, I feel kinda grimy, do you mind if I use your shower, I don't want to get your couch dirty.”

 

InuYasha swallowed a lump in his throat and averted his gaze. “Yeah sure. Let me get you a change of clothes.” He hurried to his room leaving Kagome to look at his movie collection. He rummaged through his drawers for a minute and returned with a pair of green flannel pajama bottoms and a white ninja turtles shirt that he had grown out of.

 

Kagome grabbed the clothing, mumbled a thank you and took off for the bathroom. She got a little mixed up and ended up in the hall closet. After making sure that he hadn't seen her stupid mistake she found the bathroom and closed the door. She leaned against it and closed her eyes. She took deep breaths to calm herself and opened her eyes. The bathroom was small but clean, which was surprising since she always thought that InuYasha would be a total slob. She started taking her destroyed clothing off and managed to peek in the sink at the same time. Wow not even drops of toothpaste in the sink. No hair or anything. This is no human man.

 

While she was contemplating his cleanliness she noticed the strong scent in the bathroom. It was his scent but much much stronger. At the cafe and at the party the scent had been alluring but elusive. But here in his bathroom, with the walls so close it was nearly overpowering. She swayed on her feet as the scent washed over her. So masculine and clean. She inhaled deeply and felt warmth pool at her center. Oh boy, bad idea. I can't believe just his scent tuns me into a blubbering mound of mush. She stepped up to the shower and slid the door open. Yup just as clean as the sink and the scent is stronger here. Jeez what does this guy use anyway? She looked around the compartment and came up with a small bottle of shower gel. Bvlgari? Damn this stuff is expensive too. What is he a metro sexual? Oh but it smells soooo good. She felt the warmth again and decided it would be a prudent idea to breath through her mouth for the duration.

 

She took a quick shower being careful not to wet her hair and thanked God that she hadn't had an orgasm when she'd imagined what he'd be like naked and in the shower with her. She stepped out of the compartment and wrapped a towel around her. While I'm in here I should do some snooping. She opened his medicine cabinet and peered inside. Band aids, aspirin, toothbrush, nothing weird there. Next was the magazine rack Maxim (figures), Motocross World, and Ikea catalog (whoa what?). She filed the information away for future reference should she ever need ammo against him. She crab walked to the cabinet under the sink. Holy crap, does he have enough toilet paper? The cabinet was filled from one end to the other with toilet paper. What does he need all this for? Has to be vandalism. I bet he's the one who TP'ed my car last Halloween.

 

“I know what you're doing in there!” InuYasha hollered through the door. “Chicks are so nosy.”

 

Damn, might as well fess up and get some answers. “Do you think you have enough toilet paper?” She hollered back.

 

“You can never have too much toilet paper. You can run out of a lot of things without a problem but if you run out of toilet paper you're in deep shit.” his voice was serious with a hint of laughter.

 

Kagome couldn't help it, she started to laugh. Then she thought about her situation. I'm in InuYasha's bathroom snooping in nothing but a towel and he's on the other side of the door. Damn. She stopped laughing and started drying off.

 

“Hey Kagome are you alright in there. You got quiet all of a sudden.” She saw the doorknob jiggle and shrieked.

 

“Ahh I'm fine. Just finishing up. Don't come in here.” She scrambled into the clothes he'd loaned her and finger combed her hair. She checked herself in the mirror. It was all fogged up so she couldn't see much. Oh well, here goes nothing. She opened the door half expecting him to be standing just on the other side but was slightly disappointed when he wasn't anywhere in sight.

 

She followed her disappointed nose to the kitchen and found him over a big steaming bowl of buttered popcorn. When he passed by her on his way to the living room she snagged a handful. Kagome settled herself on the couch and put the bowl in her lap for easy access. She watched InuYasha put the disk in and was mesmerized by his movements. She had noticed that he had changed into pajama pants too but his were black and cotton and accentuated his butt wonderfully. She peeled her eyes from his rear and berated herself for thinking those thoughts. He sat down next to her and stole her popcorn bowl.

 

“Hey, you should share you know.” He said popping a handful in his mouth.

 

She reclaimed the bowl. No way am I putting my hand near his crotch when my head is clearly not my own tonight. “Fine I'll share but I get to be the bowl keeper.”

 

“No problem.” He scooped out another handful.

 

Okay so maybe having his hand near MY crotch isn't a good idea either. She placed the bowl on the couch between them.

 

“I thought you wanted to be the bowl keeper.” He smirked at her.

 

“I'm allowed to change my mind.” She turned her attention to the screen and ignored his smirk.

 

InuYasha reached behind him and flipped the light off so that they could see the movie better. They settled down to watch the movie. . . .

 

 

 

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

 

Kagome was laughing so hard that she was snorting. But she didn't care since you could hardly hear it over InuYasha's laughter. The popcorn was already gone and the bowl was resting on the coffee table with their sodas.

 

“Man I love this movie.” He said after the laugh attack was over.

 

“Yeah, who comes up with this stuff?” She straightened herself up and took a couple of deep breaths to relieve the pain in her side. She noticed that they had moved a bit closer to each other now that the popcorn bowl wasn't in the way and smiled.

 

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Am I right?
King Arthur: I'm not interested!
Second Swallow-Savvy Guard: It could be carried by an African swallow.
King Arthur: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Oh yeah, an African swallow, maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
Second Swallow-Savvy Guard: But then the African swallow's not migratory...

 

Now InuYasha and Kagome were leaning on each other for support while they caught their breaths. Neither seemed distressed by the contact it had just happened. When the attack was over they hadn't separated and continued watching the movie with their sides pressed together.

 

A few scenes later. . .

 

 

“I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.” They said together then fell victim to another fit of laughing.

 

“That's my favorite line.” Kagome said facing InuYasha. Her eyes widened when she realized how close together they were.

 

His amber eyes had turned smoky and half lidded. He stared at her lips for a heartbeat and moved in. The kiss caught Kagome by surprise but she didn't pull away. Instead she returned the kiss and let it grow more heated, more passionate. He raised his hand and ran it through her silky black hair and cupped it to capture her head. Kagome laced her arms around his neck and fell deeper into it. She felt as though she was drowning in him. She closed her eyes and sighed when his mouth left hers and found the spot where her neck connected with her shoulder. She threw her head back and her breathing became shallow.

 

InuYasha trailed kisses up her neck and nipped her a couple of times which made her heart beat faster in her chest. She wanted to show him that it felt good so she put her hands under his shirt and scored her nails down his back. He hissed and she pulled back and apologized.

 

“I'm sorry.” She said biting her lower lip.

 

“No no, its okay. I liked it. And the way you're biting your lip right now is really hot too.” He pulled her in close again and captured her mouth in his leaving her breathless. He slipped his hand under her shirt and palmed her lower back savoring the warmth of her smooth skin. He started making slow circles with his fingers and she started giggling.

 

“Stop that tickles.” She smiled. “InuYasha. What are we doing?”

 

“Making out?” InuYasha looked at her quizzically. “if you don't want to just tell me and I'll stop.”

 

“It's not that. InuYasha you have no idea how long I've waited for this. I can't believe its happening.”

 

“Kagome I'm sorry for everything that I've put you through. I realize now that I was wrong. But now that you're back in my life, I have no intention of letting you get away again. I want us to be together. I hope that you want that too.” He took both of her hands in his and kissed them lightly. Then looked at her and gave her his best puppy dog eyes.

 

“How can I say no to that? I would love for us to be together InuYasha. Nothing would make me happier.” She lunged at him and wrapped him in the tightest bear hug that anyone had ever given him.

 

When she pulled away InuYasha captured her mouth again and kissed her like he'd never kiss her again. When he pulled away her eyes were glazed and her mouth was red and kiss swollen. “Wow.” they said in unison.

 

They sat back down hand and hand and continued watching the movie stealing kisses every once in a while and laughing their asses off at other times. They ended up lying down by the middle of the movie and were snuggling comfortably. Kagome was in front and InuYasha behind her with his arms wrapped lovingly around her waist and trying to control his raging hormones.

 

 

King Arthur: How does it... um... how does it work?
Sir Lancelot: I know not, my liege.
King Arthur: Consult the Book of Armaments.
Brother Maynard: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one.
Cleric: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu...
Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother...
Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Brother Maynard: Amen.
All: Amen.
King Arthur: Right. One... two... five.

 

InuYasha looked down at Kagome to give her a kiss and noticed that she had fallen asleep. He smiled and kissed her cheek. Things had changed between them pretty quickly but he wasn't about to complain. It just seemed right somehow. He knew he was home. Speaking of home, he wondered if he should wake her up and take her home. He liked the warmth that her body provided and decided that they were fine just the way they were. He would risk incurring Sango's wrath this once because now Kagome was his and he couldn't remember the last time he'd been this happy. He turned off the TV and snuggled deeper into the nest that was his new girlfriend. She moaned his name as she adjusted to him and he nearly lost his self control. Damn, this is gonna be an interesting relationship.

 

Earlier that night InuYasha had tried to ignore the fact that Kagome had been naked in his shower while he had changed into his pajama pants. It had taken all of his self control not to be waiting for her when she got out of the shower with a tent in his pants because she might have taken it the wrong way.

 

He'd managed to keep his mind out of the gutter while he made the popcorn and readied the movie but when the lights were off and the movie was playing, he hadn't been able to keep his eyes off of her for very long. He had kept stealing glances at her and noticing how her face lit up when she was laughing and how expressive her eyes were. He was glad when they'd naturally moved closer to each other and when she had turned to him he snapped the leash on his control. He kissed her and was surprised when she didn't pull back.

 

His ego inflated a bit when she'd kissed him back and when she had scored his back he almost jumped her. But he would never do that unless she asked him to. He didn't want to hurt her. InuYasha fell asleep with these thoughts running through his head and a smile on his face.
