InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I Need A Vacation ❯ Innocent for Starters (only one minor erection) ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

"Kagome!!! Rise and shine!! Today's a new day!!"

With that annoying ring, like the call of an irritating crow from hell, Kagome heard the most loathed sound follow and a quite obnoxious occurence come after that. First, the persistant clatter of the blinds being pulled open quickly, then, the stinging slap of the sun echoing the cruelly cheerful wake up call provided by the most dreadfully cheerful person Kagome knew in existance. Her very own alarm clock. Her mother.

But the worst thing about this living alarm clock was that, unlike her mechanical one, it could not be programmed, and there was no snooze button.

After Kagome rolled onto her side facing opposite of the sun light forcing its way in and pulled her covers over her head, she only heard that hell-born crow caw louder. "WAKE UP DEAR!!" Unfortunately, the morning torture wasn't simply vocal. Was it ever? What came next was the removal of her only sheild from the morning chill and light, her blanket, which was pulled off of her in cheery haste. She would have hit her mom, the tormentor, with her pillow next as she sat up groggily, only, the last thing she saw in combination with her sleepy, extra-slow reflexes, was the swish of a lavender apron and a quick chime, "Breakfast is down stairs, I have a surprise for you! Come down soon!" Kagome found speech entirely impossible until she thought about what to say through the clutter of clouds in her thoughts.

"But...it's...Saturday..." she fell over in a heap, the tangled mass of hair on her head, like black vines, spreading out over her pillow as she took in the scent of a fresh breeze, bringing her annoyance to a new level. Her mother had opened the window. Kagome would have gone down there and given her hell, but she couldn't even feel her limbs. She tried to think a little but her mind was still begging for sleep.

She was aching all over from their last encounter with a rather ferocious demon in the Feudal Era. Again, like some mornings she began to wonder, "Has it all been a dream?" Her eyes traveled over to her desk by the cursed morning light gleaming through the now open window. Reflecting the light in magenta and violet rays was the only evidence that everything that had happened to her, everything extrordinary was real. The jewel shards in the miniscule jar placed just by her Algebra textbook. She sighed, a sigh that had a mix of relief and weariness. It had happened. It was real. Not a dream. Her thoughts began to linger on the image that threatened to run away so she could avoid the twinge of pain, Inuyasha, which she first smiled at, but then when she thought of the hurt, and a pained expression lined her face. In a futile attempt and physically strain it out, she grasped onto her bed sheets desperately, trying to kill the pain. It wasn't so great a pain, but it was enough.

That other image that was synonymous with one that brought her hope and a smile, only caused her to think of Inuyasha with a mix of joy and sorrow. Kikyo.

She rolled over onto her other side, allowing the light to touch her retina and cause her to squint when she felt the presence of someone else. She quickly sat up and turned, to see her brother's face contorted in a slight glare. "Mom's been waiting, Kagome, remember, the SURPRISE?" Kagome stared at him for a few moment trying to register that he had said.


"That's right, and you're not getting out of it," her mother said firmly, appearing oddly stern which contradicted her usually cheerful and serene manner.

"But Mom," Kagoem protested, at a total loss at how her mother could believe THIS would be a NICE surprise, "Inuyasha will hate me for it, I have to go to the Fuedal Era and help him, I said I'd be back today, I can't go on some dumb vacation for ten days!" The firm expression on her mother's face became lined with upset.

"Kagome, I can't believe you! We never see you anymore, it's time we spent some time together--as a family, right Sota?" her mother's eyes flew to the youngest of the household who was now toying with Buyo, their cat.

"Uh-huh," he said distractedly, eyes glued to the ball of yarn in his hand in the white and orange feline. Kagome growled quietly at her younger brother.

"Mom, you don't understand! Naraku's REAL close by, and I can't screw around knowing he's back and worse than ever, plus Inuyasha will hate me! Come on, can't this wait until we track Naraku down and defeat him? Grandpa's sick anyway, so it's not as if it would be the whole family, right Sota!?"

"Uh-huh."

"Don't be ridiculous, these tickets are only good until the end of next week, we have to leave TO-DAY! Sota was there when I bought them and he was there when grandpa told us to go without him so at least we could bring him back some pictures of us having fun, YOU having fun because lately you've either been gone, acting like we don't exist, OR VERY STRESSED! IT'S TIME YOU CALMED DOWN--THAT WE ALL DID BECAUSE ALL THIS FUEDAL ERA BUSINESS HAS BEEN PUTTING A STRAIN ON THE FAMILY, ISN'T THAT RIGHT SOTA?"

"Uh-huh."

There was a silence that was only broken slightly by Buyo's clicking noises as he "hunted" the end of the string of yarn that was connected to the ball of yarn Sota had. Kagome and her mother were in a locked angered stare. While Kagome was very taken back by her mother's uncharactaristic screaming, she wouldn't indicate it. EVER.

"Yeah, well--I was just telling Sota how desperate things are getting in the Fuedal Era and maybe you think its selfish that I go to the Fuedal Era all the time and have little to do with you guys--but I get tired of it too! It's all for Inuya--I mean for the people in the Fuedal Era! And Kikyo--I mean Naraku's back, SO I CAN'T RISK NOT BEING THERE! RIGHT SOTA??!
"Uh-huh, sure." Her mother was surverying Kagome fixedly with eyes that were now brightened with enlightenment.

"Oh...I see what this is about NOW," her mother began, a smirk of triumph on her face that was still prevailed by her menacing tone, "you aren't going through the well for any 'noble cause' only so this...Inuyasha will like you--well frankly I think our family is more improtant than some silly school girl crush!" Kagome glared as her mother with a face plagued by extreme blushing and hateful eyes. "...isn't that right, Sota?"

"Uh-huh."

"THAT'S NOT RIGHT!! NO! I DON'T EVEN LIKE INUYASHA!! FRICKIN' GET OFF MY BACK, FINE I'LL GO ON YOUR STUPID VACATION IF YOU TWO WILL SHUT UP!" There was another silence and Kagome was sure that she was grounded.

"Good!" her mother chimed, her normally never failing cheeriness returning. Kagome stared, dumbfounded. "Let's get packed!"


Inuyasha bounded as quickly as he could, frowning intensly as he hopped from roof to roof, car to car, setting off a few alarms that made his canine ears throb. He ignored it and only focused on his rage. "Stupid, DAMN FUCKING KAGOME!!" He shouted, succeeding in getting stares from the few people whose eyes weren't already fixed on him.

"Hey! What's that?"

"I dunno, it looks like a big poofy red hot air baloon!"

"HOT AIR BALLOON?" Inuyasha jumped down to the cluttered street filled with a clammering crowd who all stared at him. "WHAT?"

"Mommy, he's scary!" a little girl of around three said, hiding behind a woman who looked about middle aged.

"S-s-sorry, forgive me!!" the man who had suggested Inuyasha was a hot air balloon cried fearfully.

"Whatever, I still have to find that fucker, Kagome," Inuyasha said, his anger quickly shifting back to the middle school girl as he looked around the street trying to retrace her scent.

"Kagome Higarashi?" a familiar voice seemingly blurted on accident. Inuyasha's golden eyes quickly flew to the boy how had said it. His scent and appearence registered immediately.

"YOU'RE THAT--THAT GUY!!" Inuyasha bellowed, jumping for the brown hair boy clad in a tradition male school uniform. Suddenly, he found hismelf hitting the ground and for a split second he thought a nearby Kagome had sat him but that suspicion was quickly put to rest when he realized an old lady was beating him down with her purse.

"Take that!! And that!! And that!" the old woman croaked, still hitting him with her deceptively heavy leather bag. Inuyasha slowly got to his feet rubbing the bruise on his back.

"OUCH THAT HURT!!" he screamed, causing the lady to back up, "Crazy bitch...."

"Oh...I know you..." the boy in the school uniform said thoughtfully, a frown quickly came to his face, "You're that horrible guy that ruined our school play." Inuyasha spit a loogie in return and wiped his mouth as the many females in the crowd looked at him with disgusted expressions.

"I don't have time for you, lame ass, Hojo, was it?" Inuyasha grunted, taking a few steps closer to the boy, whose firm face was quickly becoming more nervous and scared, "Tell me where Kagome is!"

"W-w-w-why would I tell you?!" Hojo stammered.

"She's supposed to come back through the well, idjit, and she's not home. Either tell me where the fuck she is or you're gonna get it!" The two adversaries glared at each other with hatred.

"Oh my god, it's him!" a girly voice exclaimed and soon three girls pushed their way through the crowd, smiling at Inuyasha.

"It's been a while!" Eri said with a wink. Hojo stared at them in disbelief and confusion.

"Oh, hey," Inuyasha replied blankely, recognizing Kagome's trio of friends instantaneously.

"How can you be HAPPY to see him, he's horrible!" Hojo whispered urgantly to Kagome's friends.

"He's not so bad," Yuka said dismissively.

"Do you guys know where Kagome is?"

"Sure, her mom told us she was taking Kagome on a surprise vacation--I can't believe she's letting her miss MORE school, but maybe its for health reasons or something--you know some climates are better for some illnesses..." Inuyasha didn't seem to understand any of what Eri had said.

"She's at the airport--just look for the big yellow and green sign," Ayumi, the most composed of all of them, explained with a comforting smile. Inuyasha nodded.

"Thanks, that damn Kagome was supposed to meet me today, does she always ditch?"

"As a matter of fact, she does," Hojo put in just when Inuyasha bounded off. Hojo watched after him with a strange, thoughtful appearence.

"What is it, Hojo?" Ayumi inquired.

"...he's a strange one. I know Kagome would never like him..." The three of Kagome's friends laughed nervously and along with the rest of the crowd and Hojo watched after Inuyasha bouncing off into the distance...


"Alright, kids, are you ready for a fun trip to America? I remember when I went there, it sure was great!" Kagome's mother chuckled, a smile spreading across her face. The airport was extremely sizable, the floors, windows, walls, and cealing, all gleamed in a manner which indicated the place was very newly remodeled. The walls and floors were all made up of some false marble that made it appear far more extravagant than it really was. The noise of all the voices of everyone inside and their footsteps of their bustling and crowding echoed off the walls making it seem even more cluttered with people than it already was. Kagome and Sota looked at each other with bored expressions as their mother recounted the many "adventures" and "fun sights" that she experienced on her own visit in America.

Kagome looked out the big window, that stretched upward for tens of feet at a time in front of her where an airplane was in clear view preparing to take off with a dull expression. She jolted when she saw the last thing she thought she'd see and jumped to her feet staring with a face that contained all of horror, panic, and anger. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING INUAYSHA?!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs causing most of the talking in the near area to subside and almost all eyes flew to her.

Inuyasha could clearly be seen clinging to the airplane that was almost ready to take off, almost looking as if, he was trying to fight the airplane. Perhaps, however, he had simply jumped to it and began to slide because he had tripped. Or maybe he thought the plane was a bird he could eat. Or a demon opponent. All of these possibilites did little to comfort Kagome and she could only think of one reasonable action as the plane began to roll across the run way and almost everyonme in the airport's eyes were glued to the spectacle.

"SIT BOY!!!!!" Kagome screamed as loudly as she could, clenching her fists so tightly she was almost certain she felt her palms bleeding. Many of the people were staring at her again, but most looked back again when Sota pointed at the window.

"LOOK!! LOOK!! HE FELL!" It was true, just when Kagome had said it, he came crashing to the ground from the plane and narrowly dodged one of the plane's back wheels when he landed. Though he was far off, Kagome could see a hate-filled glare from Inuyasha fixed on her. She sighed feeling her fear and anxiety melting away and fell back onto her seat. It wasn't long before she saw two airline empoloyees trying to force Inuyasha off the run way, and she could tell he was trying to fight them when a warning look from her caused him to cease struggle.


"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!?" Inuyasha bellowed, pushing police officials and journalists away from him as he stomped toward Kagome.

"What do you MEAN what the hell is wrong with ME? What the HELL is wrong with YOU? What did you think you were doing climbing on that plane like that--you could have been KILLED!" Kagome roared.

"So, you know the dare devil, young lady, what is your name? Could you tell us his name?" one of the new reporters inquired. Kagome growled.

"I wouldn't have DIED, come on Kagome, I've survived a hole in the gut, what's a stupid bird thing-y?" Inuyasha inquired boredly. Kagome glared at him.

"Shut up," she whispered.

"You survived a HOLE in the gut?" several of the new reporters piped up at once crowding around the hanyou.

"No, he didn't figure of speech," Kagome laughed nervously, fending the reporters off. Soon the police came in trying to break up the crowd.

"Nothin' to see here, get out of here!" one shouted, forcing most of the reporters to leave. But Kagome turned to find an onslaught of flashes and shutters clicking a million times per second. She and Inuyasha blinked, seeing light everywhere for the next few minutes. Before the news reporters could attack Kagome and Inuyasha with questions, the police had managed to rid of them, and finally, Kagome's mother rid of the police by assuring them all was well and it had all been a misunderstanding.

"Now, let's go back through the well, KAGOME," Inuyasha commanded, taking Kagome's back pack and walking away, expecting her to follow.

"*ahem* SIT!" Kagome cried and Inuyahsa immediately fell, the back pack crushing him further. "I can't get out of this vacation, I'm sorry Inuyasha," Kagome said apologetically, as Inuyasha slowly stood up and faced her.

"...what?"

"You heard me..." She then sighed, "I have to...Mom's making me...go for...ten days..." Inuyasha eyes widened, and Kagome was almost afraid of the sheer anger on his face.

"What--you--can't--what--why--how...FUCK!!!" Kagome sighed looking to the ground. She had been counting on her leaving before Inuyasha even arrived in her time, unfortunately she had to deal with this. "And knowing you, it'll probably be even LONGER than ten days!" He began mocking her, "Oh Inuyasha, just three more days! Oh Inuyasha, something came up I need more time!! Bleh, blah, bleeh, OH INUYASHA I'M A HOPELESS IDIOT!" Kagome gave him one of the most gastly dirty looks he'd ever seen and there was a short silence, when,

"Oh Inuyasha, kiss me!" Sota mocked a short giggle fit following as Inuyasha and Kagome's rage was soon redirected at him.

"Well if you're afraid she'll stay longer, you can come along and make sure she comes back when she's supposed to," Kagome's mother suggested with a sweet smile, "grandpa is sick so we have an extra ticket, that means you can come along, Inuyasha." Inuyasha was silent, contemplating options when Kagome quickly became frantic.

"What?! Mom, that's ridiculous! He'll be bugging me the whole time, non-stop! How can I relax at all if he's always trying to pick a fight with me all the time?!" Though Kagome didn't nesessarily mind Inuyasha coming with, her mother's and Sota's teasing was starting to make her somewhat insecure and gave her a need to prove that she didn't like Inuyasha.

"I SHOULD come, no way will you come back when you're supposed to if I don't!" Kagome's expression screamed protest.

"No! It would be terrible! You'd act out, like this time!"

"Don't be silly, he's definitely welcome, and he won't behave badly," her mother stated. Her innocent smile suddenly became quite frightening, "RIGHT INUYASHA?" The hanyou gulped.

"S-sure..."

"Then it's settled, he's coming with, the more the marrier I always say," Kagome's mother beamed. Sota jumped up and down enthusiastically.

"Alright! Inuyasha's coming! So cool!" Sota cheered. Kagome's mother laughed as she walked over to the long line at the checking counter.


It became apparent when they were about to check their tickets that traveling with Inuyasha might be a problem. "I'm sorry, sir, but the seat next to this girl's is taken."

"Do I look like I give a fuck?" Inuyasha inquried loudly, leaning in getting more irritated by the minute at the flight attendant's annoyingly calm manner at the checking counter, "I'm sitting by Kagome, no matter what, I have to protect her, understand?" The woman blinked at him, straightening herself up very proffesionally, trying to keep her voice level.

"I appologize for the inconvenience, sir, but I am sorry, you cannot sit with Ms. Higarashi." That was it. The exploding point.
"DAMMIT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!? RIGHT WHEN I COME IN HERE A WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU CROWD ME AND WON'T FUCK OFF AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS PROTECTING KAGOME!!!!!?" The woman looked somewhat taken aback and scandalized, but she regained her posture. Kagome tugged at Inuyasha's sleeve.

"Inuyasha, cut it out, it's not that big of a--"

"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, BITCH?!" Inuyasha hollered at the woman. Everyone in the line was staring looking as surprised as the woman herself.

"Wh-why won't she just let Inuyasha sit with Kagome...he's getting so mad...?" Sota asked, his voice quivering.

"I am sorry, but I can't do anything about it sir."

"WHAT?!!" This time Inuyasha really couldn't contain any ounce of his anger, and it wound up escaping by him punching down on the surface of the desk, resulting in an indentation and cracks in the surface. A quiet whimper escaped the airline employee and she looked petrified. There was a moment without sound as the airline employee's mannerisms changed entirely.

"Y-you know what? I-I-I believe our airline can offer you the married c-c-couple package..." she began typing vigorously looking very anxious when finally a window on her screen popped up and she sighed a little with relief, "y-yes...phew--here it is, and...not only that but we'll give you a special deal at one of the finest hotels...how about that...sir?" She looked up from her computer to Inuyasha.

"We're NOT married!" Inuyasha bellowed, after a short pause in slight confusion.

"Of course you are!" Kagome's mother cut in. "What was that special deal you spoke of?"

"W-well, I believe it was your round trip with a deducted price...they would be able to sit together...and a suite at the Plaza Hotel all for 60,000 yen (600 US dollars)...you can add an extra room for you and your son for only 5,000 yen (50 US bills) a night...not only that, but I'll refund you for your original tickets first..." Kagome's mother beamed with pleasure.

"We'll take it, thank you so much for your kindness!"


After everything was set in order and the woman gladly forgot about Inuyasha lacking a passport in her fear and the four of them were soon on the walk way that led up to the plane entrance. It wasn't long before they got to the plane entrance and were alowed inside. Kagome eyed her ticket and walked slowly down the aisle between rows of seats when she finally caught sight of the correct one. "Here we go...hey, Inuyasha, you should have the window seat."

"The window what?"

"Sit on the seat furthest in, you'll want to have a good view of everything--it's you first time on an airplane!"

Inuyasha walked in front of Kagome and to the window seat with a vacant expression on his face sat looking curiously about the room. Kagome sat on the seat by him, smiling at him. The sounds of a creaky cart came to their ears.

"Would you like anything, you two? Congragulations, by the way," a blonde flight attendant beamed, a cart of unsatisfactory snacks in her hands.

"Nah, no thanks," Inuyahsa returned gruffly.

"Congragulations for what, though?" Kagome said blankely. Inuyasha grunted, and crossed his arms, his face reddening. The woman's smile temporarily disapeared and her eyes widened in confusion.

"Well--about you getting married--you look so wonderful together as far as I can see..." Kagome's face quickly became crimson enough to rival Inuyasha's, but there wasn't much either could say in protest as they were supposed to mascarade as a married couple now. "You're so young..." she winked at them and waved her index finger with a sly smile on her face, "...don't do anything naughty!" She chimed as if she was speaking to children and with that trotted off as she pushed her cart along. Their blushing intensified.

The "fasten your seat belts" message lit up above them, right below the luggage compartment and Kagome immediately fastened hers. Inuyasha didn't seem to notice or understand the message what-so-ever and Kagome quickly found Inuyasha wasn't strapped in. "Oh," she said, reaching over to buckle him in. Inuyasha didn't seem to notice she was having anything to do with him until her felt her hand brush up against a certain private area and he quickly blushed to his roots.

"Wha--what are you...doing?" He inquired frantically, face turning redder as he saw it was indeed Kagome who had touched him in a now hardening place.

"Putting you seat belt on," Kagome returned, entirely oblivious to what she had accidentally done as she clicked the seat belt together. She pulled away from him and streched innocently as she looked around at random passengers.

Get your mind out of the gutter... Inuyasha told hismelf mentally as he finally looked away from Kagome after surveying her carefully in an attempt to see if there was any sign what she had done was on purpose (and maybe some of the surveying was a little lower than the face).


After the turbulance from the plane taking off, and Inuyasha being slightly alarmed, Kagome was very surprised at how quickly he simply drifted to sleep. For the longest time she watched him rest, his chest slowly moving up and down and his breaths rattling back and forth through his slightly chapped lips. This was one of the extremely rare times she had seen him without one single care. At another thought, a laugh escaped her, he had been so intent on sitting next to her for the soul purpose of protecting her and here he had fallen asleep!

Finally, she stopped surveying him in his worriless sleep and began reading a magazine and listening the plane's on board music, using the head phones provided between the two seats. It turned out, however, that the music was only classical and was very dull so she wound up removing the head phones and her world was surounded in silence with only the rumble of the plane to provide noise. She jolted in surprise when she heard Inuyasha murmur her name. Her eyes slowly traveled over the hanyou, and was only more shocked when he grasped her arm gently in his sleep and lay his head on her shoulder.

She couldn't remove him, or even budge whatsoever, so she tried to compose herself and get used to the fact that Inuyasha wouldn't be moving for a long time. She closed her eyes breathing deeply, trying to calm her tense nerves when she, herself, fell asleep and snuggled close to Inuyasha.
