InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hating to love him ❯ Recycable love ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter 10- Recyclable love

 

 

Kagome sat at the far end of the table, away from Inuyasha, and pushed her food around on the plate. She was quiet and kept her head down to avoid eye contact. Her mother, who was used to her daughter talking up a storm, felt the uncomfortable silence,

“ So… Kagome, are you going back to school for the afternoon session?”

“ No mom.” Her response and her voice signaled finality.

She went back to her food. Inuyasha wanted to grab her out of the room and give her good shaking. There was no reason to be treating her mother so coldly; she hadn't done anything to her. He threw her a furtive look that Kagome obviously felt because she looked up. Their eyes met for a fraction of a second before her eyes went askew,

“ Mom, can I be excused?” Without waiting for an answer, Kagome got up off her knees and walked outside. Inuyasha was worse than she was, he didn't even ask to be excused but instead just got up and chased after Kagome. Sota looked around at the both of them running outside,

“ I wonder what they're up to now?”

Grandpa just laughed to no one in general, “ It's the curse of the beautiful women of the Higurashi family.”

Kagome's mother stared at her father a bit before clattering her chopsticks onto her plate,

“ I think this lunch is over.” She got up and took all the plates from the table,

“ Mom, I wasn't done!” Sota watched her walk out of the room with the plates, “ What's her problem?”

Grandpa could only shake his head and shrug his shoulders.

 

 

Naraku spotted a cloud of smoke rising up from the eastern land of the forest. “ That must be them.” He turned in the direction and floated off.

Walking into the clearing, Naraku spotted all of Kagome's accomplices except Inuyasha and herself.

“ Where are they?!”

Miroku immediately stood in a fighting stance and prepared some sutras to use on the enemy. Sango took out her hirakous and prepared to throw it. Both had vengeance filled looks on their faces. Shippo ran off to hide while Kirara had transformed into the large fire cat, prepared to help in battle. Naraku looked at them and smiled deviously,

“ I'm not here to waste my time fighting insignificant squabs like you. Now tell me where that despicable hanoue is. Where has he taken Kagome?”

“ That is of no concern of yours.” Miroku's voice was cold and emotionless.

“ Stupid monk, you are testing my patience. Now shut up and tell me what I want to know.”

At that instance, Miroku unveiled his cursed hand,

“ WIND TUNNEL!!!” A gaping hole in his hand began to suck up everything in its path. Naraku let out a bloodcurdling laugh before out of nowhere, his poisonous insects appeared and began to become sucked up by Miroku's wind tunnel.

“ Miroku, stop!!!” Sango jumped up on Kirara. She watched as Miroku closed his wind tunnel and gasped in pain. The beads of sweat forming on Miroku's forehead told her of how much poison he had taken in, “ Naraku, you dirty bastard! HIRAkOUS!!!” She threw her boomerang looking weapon at Naraku but with a devilish smile, he simply sidestepped it. Laughing at both of them she spoke,

“ When will you realize that your petty attacks can't harm me? Now we can do this your way or mine. All I want to know is where she is.”

Sango who was steadily floating atop Kirara in the sky looked down at Naraku,

“ What do you want with Kagome? You already have her jewel shards and I refuse to believe that you two have fallen in love with each other.”

“ I could care less what you really think. And I have no want for her jewel shards. “ He took the small vial out of his pocket and looked at it, “ But I will keep it until I get her back.”

Miroku who was on the ground sweating out the poison in his system spoke,

“ If you really loved her, you would leave her to be happy with who she wants, not force her to be with you.”

“ How little you know, Monk. She is happy with me.” He took a scrutinizing look around their small camp, “ I can see she isn't her and therefore, neither of you are of any use to me.” With that last statement. Her disappeared into the forest. Staring at the empty spot where Naraku had stood just seconds ago, Sango flew back to the ground. Jumping off Kirara, she ran over to Miroku and bent down beside him,

“ Miroku! Are you ok?”

He looked up and gave her a weak smile before whispering, “ I'm ok. At least I will be. It's always such a joy and an honor to fight with you. Glad were on the same team.” They both weakly laughed before he passed out.

“ Miroku!”

 

 

Inuyasha leapt in front of Kagome as she crossed the court of the shrine. He grabbed her shoulders roughly and did what he wanted to, she shook her violently.

“ What the hell is your problem?”

She held on to his chest for support when he stopped shaking her. Her hair was now all fuzzy,

“ You are!”

“ Then if I'm your problem, you need to keep that between you and I.”

She tried to pull out of his grip but he held her fast.

“ If you hadn't brought me here then we wouldn't have a problem, Inuyasha.” She spoke his name with a scowl on her face as if she had tasted something bad. He ignored it.

“ Oh, so your gonna continue ranting and raving about the place until I have to tell your mother that you were screwing around with a demon in the feudal era?”

Kagome gasped sharply, “ You wouldn't.”

“ Try me.” He voice was cool and calm yet dominant. They both narrowed their eyes at each other. Kagome suddenly relaxed and exhaled,

“ Fine, we'll do things your way. I mean, if you can stoop as low as blackmail…”

She shook herself out of his grip. When she was free, she smoothed out her hair and stared at him, “ You win Inuyasha. I'll be a good girl and remain in my time. You were right all this time, I don't love him.” Her sentence was heavy with sarcasm but Inuyasha seemed to not have noticed.

“ Good, cause' this is for your own good.”

She gave a cute smile; an obviously fake smile. He smiled back at her and offered his arm to her. “ Ok, now lets go back inside.”

She took his arm and stiffly walked back inside with him.

 

Later that evening, Kagome and Inuyasha sat on her couch watching TV. Sota was curled up in a ball on the rug sleeping and Kagome was flipping aimlessly through channels. Inuyasha was thinking about the conversation they had earlier. The blow of her sarcasm had just hit home but he hadn't said anything to her. What the hell could she be up to? Why did she pretend to be ok with my threat, she let me win too easily. Way too easily. She is too stubborn and pig headed to let down her guard, I'd better watch her.

“ Inuyasha, I'm ready to go to bed now, you coming?”

“ Uhhh, coming? To bed with you?”

Kagome nodded her head, “ But first we have to put Sota in his bed.” She stood up and stretched a bit before bending down and attempting to pick up her little brother. “ A little help please?”

Inuyasha took the sleeping boy from her. He watched as she switched the television off and heading up the stairs. Following behind her, he put Sota in his room and went behind her to her room. In her room he stood looking dumb. He had expected to sleep in maybe Sota's room or even in the tree of ages outside but not in Kagome's room. He watched as she reached into her closet and pulled out a sleeping bag.

“ Here, you can use this.”

“ Where should I put it?”

“ On the floor beside my bed.”

Inuyasha sighed outwardly but inwardly, he felt a drizzle of disappointment.

“ Umm, ok.”

Suddenly he saw Kagome begin to unbutton her shirt. His gasp was loud enough to catch her attention.

“ Oh, I'm sorry, you're not comfortable around me naked?”

“ And just who are you comfortable around naked?”

“ Well if me and Nara…”

She immediately wished she hadn't said what she did. The look on Inuyasha's face showed her she had just revealed a big secret. She suddenly realize that their conversation after lunch when he had said she was screwing around with a demon, he was speaking generally and not sex. She had just blown her own secret. Inuyasha stepped over to her and held her shoulders,

“ You slept with him?”

“ Inuyasha, you're hurting me.” He honestly was, his claws were digging into her shoulder blades.

“ But you're a virgin!”

“ Not anymore.”

He let go off her and slowly sat down on her bed. He looked pale like he was going to be sick. Kagome noticed this and sat down beside him,

“ Inuyasha, are you ok? You look pale.” He turned and looked at her, his eyes forming large orbs. He was in a state of shock.

“ You slept with that fiend? So you really were screwing around with him. No wonder you think you love him! What, because he made you feel good! I was waiting on you Kagome! I respected you as a person and as a smart girl to wait until the time was right. All this time you were fucking him!”

Kagome shivered at the use of a curse word. She knew he only used curse words when her was really upset, now she could see he was really upset.

“ You… you were waiting on me?” She had no other response; she had no defense and no reason to shout back at him. When he didn't answer her question, she experimentally hugged him. She was almost afraid he would push her away but he didn't. Instead he closed his eyes and began to take deep breaths. He was angry, very angry, but he was doing his best to control himself. She rested her head in his silky smooth hair that she loved so much,

“ I'm sorry Inuyasha. I really am.

“ Then why'd you do it?”

“ I don't know.” She hugged him tighter until she felt him exhale. He suddenly wrapped his hands around her and hugged her back.

“ I'm not mad at you, honestly. It's the asshole who did this to you.”

She smiled into his hair and then just as quickly as it had left, it all came rushing back to her. The reason she loved Inuyasha in the first place. His big heart that protected and forgave, even when he didn't want to. He let her go and got up off the bed.

“ Go ahead and change if you want to, I won't look.”

Kagome giggled as she slipped out of her clothed into her p.j's. He stood staring out of the window in order not to look at her. When she was finished changing, kagome climbed into her bed and looked at Inuyasha. He looked deep in thought like what she had done really hurt him. She had no idea she had that kind effect on him.

“ Inuyasha, I'm finished. You can look now.”

She watched as he smiled at her and settled down into sleeping bag beside her bed. Without saying a word to him, she sat up and reached for the light switch on the wall. When the room was doused in darkness, Kagome still stared up into the ceiling. Now things were really getting complicated.

“ Inuyasha?” No response. She had originally planned that when he was asleep, she would go to the well with a pry bar and go back to the feudal era. However, she had changed her mind. Instead, she got up out of her own bed, and went to sleep beside Inuyasha on the floor.

 

Naraku came upon the bone eater's well and stared down into it. “ He must have taken her back. Feeling around for the jewel shards in his pockets he held onto it. “ Help me get her back.” With that, he jumped into the well.

When he opened his eyes he was at the bottom of the well. He hadn't passed over to the other side. Kicking a large rib cage he shouted to himself “ Damned it! Kagome…”

 

Sango patted a wet rag over Miroku's forehead. He had been sweating profusely and shivering in his sleep. She had stayed up the night tending to him and now as the dawn broke over the hills, she laid exhausted on top of his chest. She really hoped he was ok. He had taken in a lot of poison and this was the longest he had been passed out for. She couldn't blame him though. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to kill Naraku and rid himself of the cursed tunnel in his hand but maybe this time, it wasn't such a good idea. He had come to the camp looking for Kagome, meaning he was serious and not in any mood for foolishness. There was a man really in love. Miroku's breathing was shallow, like he was struggling to breath. Sango felt a sob rise to her throat. He wouldn't dare leave this earth without first making her his wife and loving her, would he?

Inuyasha turned to his side and felt something soft against his chest. He slowly opened his eyes to see Kagome sleeping beside him. He immediately felt something inside him react to her being so close to him. Her breathing was slow and regular. Her eyelids fluttered as she dreamed. Her mouth was slightly opened and every now and then, a small snore would escape. Inuyasha laughed at this. He looked outside to see the sun just cracking over the top of Mount Fuji. It would soon be time to for her to go to school. Inuyasha held her close to him and suddenly, Kagome placed her lips on his in a sleep filled kiss. So shocked was Inuyasha that he did nothing for about 10 seconds before kissing her back.

Maybe she thinks I'm Naraku. But she will eventually wake up and see it's not him. I want to see what she'll do then. Kagome deepened the kiss until somehow, she ended up on top of him, straddling him. She opened her eyes and broke the kiss,

“ Inuyasha…?”

She closed her eyes and continued kissing him, feverishly and fully until she heard her mother call from down stairs that she had to get up. She stood up and looked at Inuyasha who had a look of surprise on his face,

“ Sorry.” She walked out of the room and went to the bathroom next door.

Huh, she didn't say anything even after she found out that it was me. Does that mean that she still have feelings for me and I'm not lost for her feelings? She did come down and sleep next to me in the night. That has to mean something. He got up and went into the room next door. She was inside the area with the magic rain that she called the shower. He sat down on a bowl looking thing that jutted out of the floor that she called the toilet.

“ Kagome?”

She opened the curtains a bit and looked at him,

“ Inuyasha?”

“ Why'd you come to sleep next to me last night?” Kagome had resumed bathing. She spoke over the sound of the shower,

“ I dunno. I wanted to, I guess.”

“ You sure it's not because you feel bad about the whole Naraku virginity thing?”

“ It could be that too. But whatever it was, I don't regret it. Your nice to sleep next to.” She continued bathing until she stuck her head out again to Inuyasha who was still sitting on the toilet.

“ By the way, you talk in your sleep. And you say pretty interesting things.”

“ Waa…? What did I say?”

“ A lot, and I loved it.”

“ Kagome!” But she already had stuck her head back into the sanctity of the shower. Not to be beaten, Inuyasha flew off the toilet seat and attacked her, tearing the shower curtains down in the process. Kagome let out an ear shattering scream as she pushed him off her, but he had held onto her which in turn pulled her with him. So there they were, Kagome lying naked on top of Inuyasha, all soaped up, in the middle of the bathroom floor. Inuyasha had never seen her naked like this, with soap hiding her most private areas, teasing him. She was arousing him in ways he hadn't thought possible. She was trying to get up but kept slipping because of the soap. Just then, Kagome's mother came rushing into the bathroom to see her daughter and Inuyasha on the floor rolling in soap.

“ Umm, is everything ok in here?”

“ Its…its ok mom, were just fine.

Her mother looked slightly ill and stepped out of the room.

“ Ok, ok. Kagome, stop moving. Kag… STOP MOVING!”

She stopped moving. Using the face basin, Inuyasha helped himself up. Then after stepping on the bathroom mat, he helped Kagome up. He handed her a towel but she gave him back,

“ I have to wash off!”

Inuyasha once again sat down on the toilet. “ You know none of this would have happened if you had just tell me what I said in my sleep.”

“ Fine, all you said was that you loved me and that I was beautiful. You also began to curse that you couldn't believe that Naraku got to me first.”

“ You liar!” Kagome began to laugh which sounded gurgled because she was under the shower.

“ Ok, you caught me, but the first part was true. You did say I was beautiful.”

She turned off the tap and opened the shower curtain, which Inuyasha had put back up. Inuyasha handed her the towel he had offered earlier. She took it and wrapped it around herself. She walked in front of the mirror.

“ What are you doing?” Inuyasha stared as she began applying a weird cream to her face,

“ Its sun block. So I don't fry in the sun. The sun here is hotter than the one in your era.”

“ Oh please, you expect me to fall for that? It's the same sun!”
“No duh, it is. But it got hotter.”

Inuyasha stared as the white cream miraculously disappeared as she continually rubbed it. Looking at the small rubber duck clock on the wall of the bathroom, Kagome gasped.

“ All your shenanigans are gonna make me late for school!”

“ Me?” Inuyasha followed her as she ran out of the bathroom. In her room he sat down on her bed cross-legged as she threw on her clothes not bothering to care that Inuyasha was there.

“ I'm in a hurry, so I have to run,” She gave Inuyasha a quick kiss. ” See you later, and keep yourself out of trouble.”

Inuyasha touched his lips gently. What the hell is she up? She crawls into bed with me and openly kisses me, and why is she so nice to me after our little disagreement yesterday. Something's fishy. I'm going to check her out at school today. Looking out the bedroom window, he saw Kagome running down the steps of the Higurashi shrine. She was up to something. Probably wanted him to drop his guard so she could make a quick escape. It wouldn't be that easy. Inuyasha stood at the window shaking his head. Something wasn't adding up.

 

A/N: Umm, well this is an unexpected twist. Even for me. I honestly thought Kagome was going to try and escape. Well whatever she's up to, I hope Inuyasha figures it out. Somebody please tell me Kagome's friends name! I wish I owned Inuyasha, then I wouldn't be having these problems!!! That lucky bastard, Rumiko Takahasi! (Coughs and smiles embarrassed) Did I say bastard? I meant genius. Yeah, that luck genius! Well tell me what you think. Slaughter me with your ideas and shit. Well not literal shit, just your mind. Heh heh! Love ya!! Jynxie XOXOXO
