Chapter 12-One day to Disaster

 

 

 

Kagome had fallen asleep in the sand. Her rosy lips were pursed in a content smile as Inuyasha lay atop her. He had more than once worried about his weight on her but whenever he tried to move, she would shift. After thinking and watching her sleep for nearly an hour, Inuyasha managed to get off her, get her dressed back in her nightgown and carry her back to her home. The gray haze that marked the dawn was beginning to show and he knew she had school in the morning. As he carried her, he questioned himself about their prior conversation. He made an oath; he would start paying her more attention. He was going to appreciate her more.

Kagome opened her eyes. She didn't hear sea gulls or waves or even felt the sun beating down on her; instead, she was completely surrounded by pink. She was in her room. She sat up and licked her lips—salt. It wasn't a dream. It was real. We really did have sex on the beach last night! Oh my gosh!!! I did it with him. She looked over the edge of her bed at the crumpled up sleeping bag on the floor. He was already up. Rubbing her eyes, She bounced out of bed and went to the bathroom. She tided herself for school and went down to the kitchen for breakfast. As she entered the room, she saw he mother art the sink and Inuyasha and her Grandpa at the table sipping from a mug each. Her grandpa smiled when he saw her walk in,

“ Why you look vibrant today. How did you sleep?”

“ Surprisingly relaxed.”

She peered at Inuyasha who she swore smiled before he sipped at his mug. She sat down at the head of the table neither close to Inuyasha or her granddad. Her mother placed a plate of Fried eggs, toast and hash browns in front of her,

“ What would you like to drink Kagome?

“ Umm, some tea would be fine, thanks mom.”

Her mother began to turn but stopped short. She suddenly placed a hand in her daughter's hair,

“ Is this…sand?” She shelled off a few grins of the sand an examined them in her hand. Inuyasha sputtered into his mug and looked over the rim, incase she needed help formulating a lie. She smiled up sweetly at her mother,

“ Umm, I took Inuyasha to the park for ice cream yesterday. I guess sand from the swing pit musta gotten in ma hair.”

Her mother let the few grains fall before dusting the rest out of her hair.

“ Wash your hair properly next time.” She smiled and walked off to the sink again. Kagome looked to Inuyasha who gave her a satisfied smile and went back to his mug. He hadn't said a word to her since morning but strangely she found that ok. Inuyasha put down his mug.

“ What is this?”

“ Finest coffee, straight from Columbia.”

Grandpa smiled at this as if he made it himself. But Kagome knew it was because he was happy that he actually knew something for once.

“ Columbia, is that a town in Japan?”

Kagome stepped up to the plate,

“ Nope, it's a country on the other side of the world. Its in South America.”

Inuyasha smiled like her understood but everyone knew he hadn't. Kagome's mom turned with the coffee pot.

“ Would you like some more?” Inuyasha offered his mug up as she refilled it. He immediately began drinking. “ Umm, Inuyasha, don't you think you should add sugar and cream?”

He looked at Mrs. Higurashi like if she were an angel. “ Stuff's supposed to go in it? It tastes good to me anyways.”

Kagome scrunched her nose. “ You drank it black? Eww!”

“Kagome,” Her mother turned to her. “ You're going to be late.”

With that, she popped the eggs and hash browns into her mouth, grabbed her book bag, she muttered unintelligible what was supposed to be goodbye and fled outside.

 

As soon as Kagome was gone, her mother had retired to the sitting room, the old man tapped Inuyasha under the table. Inuyasha looked up, he was grinning from ear to ear.

“ What is happening between you and Kagome?”

“ Excuse me?” Inuyasha was shocked. He had no idea where that question had come from. “ Your going senile old man.”

He put down the now empty mug on the table and looked at the old man with serious intent.

“ I saw the smile you two exchanged! I used to give it to my wife all the time. You two involved?”

“ NO! It`s nothing like that. Don't say that let Kagome hear, I'd like to reach my era in one piece.”

With that he left the table and went outside.

 

Inuyasha walked to the bone eater's well inside the shed. He had to make sure things weren't falling apart without him on the other side. He carefully lifted one of the planks with ease and lowered himself into the well. Taking one leap, he felt a floating sensation as he crossed over.

Miroku walked on ahead as Kirara hung low ahead with Sango and Shippo astride her. They weren't walking anywhere in general, just trying to find Inuyasha.

“ And you say he told you nothing of his whereabouts?”

“ No, but he obviously went for Kagome.”

“ So long?”

“ I dunno.”

They continued walking in silence. As they came to a fork in their path, they saw Inuyasha running up to them. Everyone smiled, even Shippo.

“ Where have you been?!” Sango jumped off Kirara and went to inspect him.

“ I was in Kagome's time. I figured that it was the only was to keep her and Naraku apart.”

“ That's pretty smart for you.” Shippo was still on Kirara, but his words were laced with humor. Inuyasha growled at him, he yelped and hid behind Kirara's ear. Inuyasha turned back to his to human companions.

“ Has anything happened since I left?' Sango looked slightly flushed. Miroku noticed and answered, “ Not really. Naraku came looking for you, we had a little square off but he left. He seemed really out of it.”

“ Well, I really just wanted to check up, let ya'll know what's the situation.” He scratched his head nervously. He slowly took a step back,

“ Stop right there Mister!” Shippo called out to him. “ I know that look. What have you done to Kagome? You've hurt her feelings again you idiot!”

“ Shut up mini! She's at school! I'm only here because she's not at home.”

They went to lady Kaeda's home and helped out the village. Inuyasha, when the sun began to sink, left the feudal era for Kagome's time.

 

Naraku sat on a large cliff. He was staring into space. He had looked for two days for Kagome but she was nowhere to be found. He could only guessed that Inuyasha had taken her back. He breathed in heavily.

“ No use me moping over her. She'd gone out of my life and I have duties to perform.” He stood up and turned to see Sesshomaru looked eagerly at him.

“ Where is the girl?”

“ If I knew, I wouldn't be here alone now would I?”

“ You sure have a lot of talk for someone so unprepared to fight.”

“ I am not going to fight you Sesshomaru. I haven't the time.”

“ Then hand over the girl.”

“ Well I don't have her and if your brotherly bond was so strong, how comes you don't know that your little brother has her?” He began to walk past him,” And when since did you care? After all, she's just a mere mortal.” He walked. It burned Naraku to say that. It was a lie. She was more than just human. She was much more.

 

“ Kagome.” She looked in the direction of her name. It sounded like it came from the bushes. She slowly walked over until a hand grabbed her in. “ Shhh! Don't scream.” She looked up to see Inuyasha holding her carefully. She pried his hand off her mouth and looked up at him,

“ Why are you hiding in the bushes?” He was in normal jeans and a gray shirt. Atop his head he wore a gray bandana. He shrugged to her question. Then pulled her out of the bushes to the other side away from her school. He looked down at her. OK, he's acting really strange and its freaking me out! What is he going to do? Inuyasha scratched his head nervously.

“ I don't know how to say or do stuff like this so…”

“ Out with it Inuyasha!”

“ I'd like to carry you out, like on a real date.”

Kagome just looked at him long and hard for a second before she reached up to his forehead.

“ Are you feeling ok?”

Inuyasha's face went dull for a moment. He had been thinking about this for the whole day and it had taken him a lot of courage to ask her and this was what he got?

“ Yes, I'm ok! No will you go with me or not.”

“ Sure, where?”

“ Well your friends told me about something called a movie. I guess we can go there.”

“ The movies? Wait a minute, my friends?”

“ Yeah, they saw me when I came here, practically attacked me about me treating you bad. Then I asked them how I could treat you better, and the suggested that.”

“ So is that the only reason you asked me?”

She folded her arms defiantly.

“ No. I wanted to ask before.” There was a silence as Kagome thought about it. She knew what her answer was but she just wanted to make Inuyasha wait. She smiled at him,

“ Sure.” He smiled and grabbed her hands. She looked up at him. “ But that still doesn't really explain why you were hiding in the bushes.”

“ Eh, I got used to it.” She smiled as he grabbed her and ran off.

 

It was after 10 when Inuyasha returned with Kagome. He had taken her to see a dumb chick flick that both of them `didn't watch' and then she had brought him to a ramen restaurant. She smiled and laughed the whole night. Exactly what Inuyasha liked to hear. When they had prepared themselves for bed, they said their farewells to the family and went to sleep. About 12 midnight, Kagome got up. She just had a dream about Naraku. In her dream, they were married and she was giving birth to their first child. He had offered her an expensive diamond on her maternal bed as a gift of his undying love. As she screamed in pain, he screamed over her that he loved her. She woke up just as the baby had made its entrance into the world. She sat up in a clod sweat in her bed. The dream was so vivid…so …real. She threw off the covers and whipped her face. She had to admit that she enjoyed these few days with Inuyasha and she had come to the realization that she loved him, but what about Naraku, she had claimed she loved him too. She tiptoed over Inuyasha to her door. After making it downstairs with her grandpa's pry bar, she made a mad dash to the well. She had to see him again.

 

Naraku walked into the old mansion that stood alone on a foreboding hill. Hakidoshi, Kanna and Kagura all looked at him as he blew past them. Kagura followed behind him,

“ What is wrong with you Naraku?”

He tore off his shirt and flung it aside. The Spider shaped scar on his back was blazing with hot white fury.

“ Leave me be you deceitful bitch.”

“ Are you hurt? I am the only one who can help you.”

“ I will do well without you, now depart.”

He sat down in the middle of the room and looked around waited for the pain to pass. This was the second time the scar had hurt him like this and he couldn't remember the reason in the first place. He breathed out as the pain dulled. Suddenly something caught his attention. It was a…. a…. feeling. Kagome! He jumped up and without his shirt, he ran into the cold night.

Kagome climbed out of the well and looked around. The same exact thing she had done when this adventure started around 2 weeks ago. She had no idea why she had come, it was night and she certainly could find her way around these parts. She walked a bit into the woods and stopped. She looked back to see if she could still see the well. She couldn't. She took another step forward and disappeared into a pool of darkness. She had stupidly fallen into a ditch.

Naraku spotted Kagome lying in a small ditch. Her face was calm and serene like she was at peace. He body was lying in a distressed position and through al the dirt of falling, she still looked angelic in her pink nightgown, well except for the pry bar she had clutched in her hand. He carefully slid down beside her and touched her gently,

“ Kagome?” No response. “ Kagome?” He spoke a little clearer now, from getting over the shock of seeing her again. This time she mumbled and then slowly opened her eyes. Their gazes held as they stared into each other's eyes. Suddenly she flung her arms around him ad began to cry into his naked shoulders.

“ I'm so sorry! I can't help it! I thought I would never see you again!”

Taken aback by her brashness, Naraku slowly enveloped her in his arms.

“ Shhh, don't say such rubbish. And stop crying. How did you get here?”

She swallowed a bit before replying, “ I snuck to the well while Inuyasha slept. I had to come with a pry bar because he had shut off the well.”

He looked at the grime, which covered her fingernails, obviously from scratching and prying at wood. He lifted her hands to his lips and placed a tender kiss on it.

“ How long will you stay?”

She pulled her hands away quickly, dropping the bar, “ Naraku, I can't. I… its hard to explain.”

“ You love him don't you?”

“ Damn! Am I that predictable?!”

He laughed. It was the first in awhile he had laughed. “ Its not that you're predictable. Its just that I was aware of you having some sort of feelings for him from before.”

“ But I told you I love you.”

“ And I know you do. Which is why you need to stay with me. I can't function with out you Kagome. Stay with me for all time. I will reward you with the riches of life and immortality itself. All if you just stay.” Her dream snuck its way back into her mind. He stood in front of her waiting for an answer. Her brown eyes began to pool with water,

“ I love you. I honestly do but—“

“ You keep telling me you love me, why can't you show it?”

She continued as if he hadn't spoken, “ I don't belong here. This is not my era.” Tears spilled over onto her cheeks. Her body wracked with shivers and her voice trembled, “ I'm sorry Naraku. I just can't.”

He stepped back from her. He looked like he was about to leave. “ You can't live with me but you can live with that wretched half demon Inuyasha?!”

“ I said no such thing! I can't stay with him either, but at least he can come to my era. And don't you dare play the victim! You were saying the same thing to me last week! You told me that me staying here with you was not feasible, now you are bent on me staying?!”

“ THAT WAS—“ He lowered his voice, “ That was before I realized what it was like to have and lose you.”

“ Stop being selfish! Think of my life and me! I… I just can't.” Her voice was sotto. Naraku looked at her hurtfully. He turned and began to walk away. With his back turned to her, he spoke,

“ I loved you. I proposed to you and offered you the world. There is nothing more I can do.”

Kagome ran to him. He was about 3 feet in front of him but she ran and flung herself at him. Warm salty tears ran down her face to his spider scar,

“ Love me Naraku! Please do!”

“ I cannot be your just-in-case guy. It's either him or me.” She made no reply so he just stood there while she cried on his shoulders. After a while he turned to face her. He planted a small kiss on her swollen salty lips. He could love her, he did love her and even if it was for one night, he would love her.
