InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I Need A Vacation ❯ "You Lay Eggs? What?!" ( Chapter 6 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
"This is so FUCKING boring," Inuyasha groaned as the four of them traveled down the near empty hallway.
"Does he ALWAYS have that dirty of a mouth?" Yuka asked Kagome. Kagome nodded with a sigh.
"This IS fucking boring," Sota agreed nodding, haven't had the faintest clue as to what "fucking" meant. Kagome smacked him.
"Sota!!"
"OW! What was THAT for? I only said it cause, INUYASHA did, you didn't hit him!" Kagome's glare fell onto Inuyasha, whom she promptly socked in the left arm.
"Don't use that kind of language around impressionable minds!" Kagome hissed motioning toward Sota who was humming the Power Rangers theme song as he strolled alone making Kagome shudder.
"Ow...' Inuyasha whispered, he then smirked, "Fucked up fucking fuckers fucking fuck all the fucking time!" he chimed in a sing song voice resulting in being basked from either side of the head from both Kagome and Yuka's fists.
"And why is he your boyfriend again?" Yuka inquired somewhat dead pan again, her fist still clenched. Inuyasha's head throbbed painfully. "I can't believe you did it with a guy like him.
"I didn't!!" Kagome cried blushing.
"If you guys are pranking me, than this reverse psychology would be ingenius...especially since it looks so much like fake lying--but if it isn't a joke and what Inuyasha just said applies to you two, then you guys are just bad liars." Kagome's mouth dropped and her eyes widened, but they quickly narrowed at the smug expression on Yuka's face as they continued down the hall.
"What do you MEAN what he said APPLIES to--"
"Are you going to be straight out truthful Kagome?" Yuka inquired stopped in her tracks and turning to face her friend, "How are you going to prove to me that what you're saying is the truth--that this is neither a prank, or an attempt to cover up certain things you two are doing--but just a misunderstanding." Kagome and Inuyasha both glared at her and Sota simply looked up in a bewildered manner.
"We didn't--DO that, god--what the f--" he looked at Kagome who was giving him quite the dirty look,"--heck matter with you? What could make you think that we were doing something like you think we are!" Inuyasha bellowed at Yuka. She only blinked at him and seemed quite unfazed.
"How come your hair's black now?"
"Um....well..he dyed it," Kagome answered quickly, briskly walking, so the others were forced to follow.
"And his eyes are--"
"Contacts."
"Oh...why the sudden change, Inuyasha?"
"He...um...he..." But fortunately Kagome didn't have to answer when Sota shouted quite loudly creating enough of a distraction to take Yuka's mind off the strange way Kagome's boyfriend had suddenly changed his features without any given reason.
"MMMM!!! Doesn't that smell so GOOD?!" Sota exclaimed, sniffing the air. The remaining three did the same and Kagome nearly sighed with relief at the fortunate diversion.
"Yeah..." Inuyasha replied hungrily, "It's coming from there!" He cried, sprinting toward a swinging door. Kagome, Sota, and Yuka dashed after him and once they got nearer, becoming enveloped more and more in the smell of cooking food, they arrived at the door and were near enough to read the tiny letters, "Hotel Kitchen". "Let's go!" Inuyasha said, drooling, pushing against the door.
"Wait!" Kagome hissed, the sounds of clanking dishes, pots, and silverware, erupting from inside as Inuyasha opened the door. She grabbed the back of the robe he was wearing. "Stop, we're not supposed to--"
"Oh live a little!" Yuka whispered excitedly, cautiously pushing Kagome and Inuyasha inside. Sota followed suit looking somewhat fearful, but his hunger overpowering his anxiety.
Luckily, all four went unnoticed as they dashed to the left hiding behind a table covered in a white table cloth where the ordered food was placed for the bell boys took it from to deliver it to the assigned hotel room. "This is crazy!!" Kagome hissed at Yuka, "We're not supposed to BE in here!" she informed them all hastily, looking very frantic.
"Lighten up, woudja, Kag?" Inuyasha murmured, massaging her buttucks. Kagome went stiff as a board her face reddening as her eyes shifted from Sota to Yuka hoping neither had noticed. She smacked Inuyasha. Hard.
"I'll lighten up once you stop calling me Kag," Kagome growled through gritted teeth. Inuyasha chuckled, and Kagome felt his fingers prodding their way up her skirt, her face heated up quickly and she became very occupied with trying to pry his grip off of her. That was just what Inuyasha had been hoping for, that way Kagome wouldn't notice as he whispered a quick order to Sota, whom, admiring Inuyasha beyond anyone, promptly obeyed. The ten year old peeked his eyes just above the table's surface and Yuka watched with interest, wondering what was about to unfold, entirely obvious to Inuyasha fondling of areas under Kagome's skirt which failed to be shielded by any sort of underwear. Kagome was still trying her best to remove Inuyasha's hand unnoticed.
It was then Sota said, "Got it," holding out a plate which bore a rather juicy looking piece of steak. Inuyasha and Yuka both eyed it hungrily, as did Sota, but Inuyasha glared at them menacingly taking the plate. But the look Kagome was shooting him was far more threatening.
"Pick up the steak, raviolis, and Caesar Salad and deliver them to room 215," came the voice of presumably a chef.
"Right," came another voice as two legs covered in red pants revealed themselves to the four stowaways.
"Hey...where's the steak...?" came another voice.
"Great, NOW look what you three have done, we're going to get in trouble!" Kagome snarled. But Inuyasha wasn't paying the slightest attention to Kagome, he was staring in horror as the red pants on the man's leg's before them began to fold as if he was beginning to kneel down to look under the table... Inuyasha had to think fast and frantically fumble the plate around, and did what he wasn't sure if he regretted or not afterward, sliding the plate out with all his strength out to the left, from under the table.
The motion of the fast moving plate and the sound of it sliding against the tile of the kitchen, caught the bell boy's attention and his blue eyes flew to the dish of steak and he quickly set to pursuing it. He quickly swept up the plate and sighed with relief, eyeing around the room to be sure none of the chefs or other bell boys noticed. His eyes then traveled to the table. How had that happened? Was someone...UNDER that table? Slowly and cautiously, the bell boy headed in the direction of the table and flipped the table cloth up dramatically only to find nothing suspicious underneath....
Inuyasha had hastily grabbed Sota, Kagome, and Yuka and flung them around to the other side of the entirely solid counter in back of the one they had previously hid under. All four huddled praying to dear god that none of the cooks would notice. It was then Kagome caught sight of a hook where all the aprons the cooks wore hung, almost n her reach. "There!" she informed them in a whisper.
"Yeah, it just...slid out..."
"Maybe you're a bit over-worked, John, plates don't just slide out from under tables..."
"Really! It happened! Honest! From right under that table!" The other bell boy eyed the one named John with a worried expression.
"How about I deliver this order, you just relax..." he told his friend with a pat on the back, as he placed the dishes onto the delivery cart and walked out the kitchen door with it. John sighed, running his hand through his blonde hair as he sat down on a chair looking about the room. Was he losing it? Or could there be someone in the kitchen?
Kagome, Yuka, and Inuyasha, all clad in aprons only turned their backs to the cooks at the left side of the room, at a long counter that ran across the entire length of the wall. Kagome pulled Sota in front of her, hiding him from view, and she and Yuka made hand motions as if they were cooking. Inuyasha didn't seem to catch on until he received a painful elbowing the ribs from both Kagome and Yuka at the same time from either side.
One of the cooks walked past them and quickly froze, they didn't seem...familiar. "What the..." He slowly turned to face them again and they were--GONE! Was he seeing things? He shook his head in order to snap out of it.
"Damn that was a close one!" Inuyasha whispered, as they all huddled together once again, seeing the outlines of the cooks and bellboys through the white table cloth that hung down in front of them.
It would be best if he forgot it, the cook was sure, maybe it was just getting late. As he took another step forward, he was sure he saw movement, and quickly spun around to see the table cloth had rippled. Someone or something was underneath!
Inuyasha yelped in pain as Kagome cuffed him over the head, why couldn't he keep his hands to himself? Especially at a time like this! She felt his hand slowly slink out from her her skirt. "What did he do?" Yuka whispered.
The cook slowly approached, and Sota was the only one who seemed to notice his figure approaching. "Uh--guys?"
"Nothing."
"Tell me, Kagome, what did he do?"
"Nothing."
"Come on!"
"I didn't do nothin'!"
"Guys!" They didn't seem to heed him at all and the figure was fast approaching.
"Hey what's this?" Yuka asked suddenly, picking up what looked like a plastic snake.
"There's weird stuff down here..." Inuyasha said, eyeing the pipes, when he caught sight of what looked like a spider in the poor lighting. "Ugh, stupid thing," he promptly crushed it with his fist. He yelped. It was HARD, metal, perhaps. And he didn't have his demon powers. But it moved when his fist collided with it...
"Oh no!" Kagome gasped. The instant Inuyasha had caused whatever it was to move, water sprayed forth from the nozzle of the hose Yuka was holding and, her thumb being in the way, the water sprung with much pressure and easily caused the table cloth to fly up when it splashed against it. The table cloth, unfortunately wasn't the only thing that was soaked...
Yuka was in such a state of shock she found herself unable to think or move and all four watched in horror as she thoroughly soaked the cook standing before them. "Run," Kagome squeaked, and Inuyasha pulled Kagome and Sota up roughly, out from under the table and into the open. Yuka threw the hose as she jumped as far as she could, her eyes shut tightly and was relieved to find herself clasping Inuyasha's back who, even in his human state, managed to carry her weight. For a while anyway.
All the cooks started after them, and it seemed they were doomed as Inuyasha fell over, when Sota slipped as he clutched on to his right hand pulling him down with him and Yuka weight on his back became too much simultaneously. Inuyasha lay on the ground for a moment, and he saw the blurry figures of the cooks quickly approaching them. They were in serious trouble. He looked wildly around and pulled Sota and Yuka up, shoving them toward the exit. "Run for it!" he exclaimed, as he pushed them and performed an airborne flip, causing all the cooks to freeze in awe and he landed neatly on his feet, thrusting Kagome upward when he was standing. "Come on!" he hollered, yanking her with him as he ran toward the other end of the room. There were two doors. They had come in through the one on the right. That was where their escape would be.
All the cooks and bell boys shouted angrily, their cries echoing in the kitchen, most of them, including the thoroughly wet one chased after them. Inuyasha glanced back and noticed the hose was still going crazing and flipping and throwing itself around the room spraying many materials and employees... No wonder they were pissed. Inuyasha and Kagome threw themselves against the door and ran for their lives, the infuriated cooks and bell boys, many of them who were dripping with water, hot on their tail. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Kagome!" Inuyasha exclaimed, throwing her onto his back as he jumped and dodged a spatula which was swatted in his direction by a nearby fury-filled cook. He winced, expecting her to smack him and was shocked when all he got was an ear full of laughter. His now brown eyes looked over at Kagome to see her giggling carelessly as they maneuvered around spatulas, spoons, and pans. "What's so damn funny?" She laughed more and Inuyasha wondered if she had cracked.
"This is fun!"
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he wondered when rabid cooks and bellboys chasing you was considered fun, but forgot the thought when he caught sight of the elevators. He looked back, realizing there was some distance between them and the kitchen employees. He slid, coming to a stop at the elevators, as Kagome pressed the button between them with the arrow pointing up. They waited a while, Kagome laughing and Inuyasha shifting anxiously from right foot to left foot. They were gaining on them to quickly, they couldn't wait any longer, Inuyasha made a break for it. Running as fast as he could away fro m the elevators and down the hall further in order to escape the mass of red uniformed bell boys and white and black dressed chefs. "At least Sota and Yuka are safe..." he breathed.
"Yeah, they probably got back to the room already," Kagome said, her laughter finally stopping, "And we're still down here!" she cried, bursting out into laughter again. Was she drunk? But suddenly at the sound of their infuriated shouts, Inuyasha found himself laughing too. He dashed around the corner, cutting it extremely close and gaining more speed finally catching sight of a door. He wrenched open the door labeled "Janitor's Closet" and closed it behind he and Kagome as he leapt with her on his back inside.
Inuyasha sighed, falling against the door in a relieved manner, and he began to slide down it, quite out of breath. But before he could get anywhere near a sitting position, Kagome had roughly pinned him against the door, pressing her body against his forcibly while kissing him in a frenzy. She twisted her tongue into his mouth tigerishly, her legs bent as they opened, her knees pressing into the sides of each of his legs tightly as she massaged his pelvis with her own. His lips moved from hers and he slid his mouth down her face to her neck where he performed a variety of nervous quirky kisses which caused Kagome's neck to tingled irresistibly when at that moment he sucked her skin with sudden force out of his light caresses that he had been placing on her neck with his tongue and lips His touches were shaky and nervous slightly just as some of them had been the first time they were together, perhaps because he had never before made love to her as a human.
Unfortunately, Kagome felt herself losing control at his kisses and as he pressed his hardness against her and pulled it away at unexpected intervals She moaned as he continued kissing her neck, feeling her head lifting instinctively so he could kiss her more, but he continued to back off then press so forcefully it almost hurt with his mouth unpredictably. It served well to arouse her, but feline's always must stay in control, and she felt very much like one as she latched on his waist suddenly, with her nails digging into his skin like claws and she tore his robe open in a heated frenzy with her teeth biting onto his skin sensually, but frantically enough so that it hurt him slightly. She caught his left nipple up in her mouth, caressing it with a gentle and calculating tongue, but a passionate energy, causing him to moan uncontrollably. She could feel him hardening against her further and pressing himself against her skirt, he yearned to enter her.
But everyone knows, a feline NEVER comes when she is called.
So just like an instinct, she continued to grind him teasingly and licked and gnawed over his nipples causing him let out several groans, she would have him know to the extent he needed to appreciate her. Would he own her and squash out her independence? Yeah right. It was at that moment, however, she felt his hands fall on her breasts, then quickly leave, and grasp at her skirt, he was acting rather squirrely and a little unsure of what to do, but he knew what he wanted, and he intended on getting it. Yet, this was alright with Kagome as she felt a smirk come to her face, she felt her hormones race at the prospect of a challenge. What was the point in the hunt if the prey already gave itself up? She threw her body onto him with all her strength pinning him mercilessly, and stealing her hand between his legs rubbing vigorously Immediately after this she felt his grip on her skirt fall away and his arms went limp and his arms thudded against the door behind him. "Kag...ome!! Oh...oh Kagome!!" she felt him attemtping to press against her again, "...why...I want...why/" he breathed shutting his eyes as he failed to restrain more moans that quickly came to a stop when Kagome stopped caressing him.
"...I won't let you quite yet..because I want to hear you moan."
"But--"
"I mean really really moan..." she murmured mischievously as she grinned, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her tongue against his chest. She slowly squatted, lowering her body with her tongue tracing down his skin. He breathed heavily, his eyes opening wide just before they closed tightly again and he murmured her name over and over. She paused and and he gripped her shoulders needily from above. "They say waiting heightens the arousal...you know...anticipation making for better sex..." she whispered, her lips and tongue finally regaining contact with his muscles and stroking them as her body slinked down him. He gasped and shuddered feeling his face contort with the resounding pleasure racing through him, when her tongue reached its destination, the entire area between his legs felt aa if was heating up substantially as her mouth met it. The strangled breaths and gasps were almost lost in his booming cries of passion and pleading for her to never stop.
"Oh!!! Kagome!! Oh...Ka...ka....oh..." She felt his sweaty palms grips her dark hair as her lips and tongue more vigorously searched where it caused him to lose it entirely. He breathed some incomprehensible words convulsing slightly and working his hips closer to her shakily, causing her tongue to press into him harder and he screamed her name when she curved it along ever so slothfully and passionately. She took her mouth upward leaving him trembling so badly, his body falling limp and beyond his control as he fell forward on his knees and he knocked Kagome over, falling on top of her lightly, pleading in a shaking voice, "Please..." He closed his eyes feeling the temptation, the extremity of his arousal almost so extreme he didn't know anything else, as he kissed her and dragged his tongue down her neck, ripped open her blouse and worked his tongue into the crevis between bosoms haphazardly and he grasped her arms which her spread out, tightly pinning her down as he continued to lightly and hardly touch with his lips then fully take her surprise with a relentless press of his tongue and a quick switch to his lips once more sucking so fiercely Kagome was sure it would leave a mark...
She wouldn't move him, though, she was in a rare position for her current need to be in control, on her back, and at the mercy of Inuyasha in all his nervousness. Somehow she found the very fact he fumbled and shook to be such a turn on...his lips pressing against her nipple as her back arched suddenly with an extreme and unpreventable hunger for his presence within her. A smile came to his lips and he almost sighed with relief knowing she finally would let him indulge in her. Yet, as a flash of lightening strikes a miniscule tree stump, a strange thought came to him, perhaps he should cause her to wait and feel a little of the somewhat agonizing anticipation she had inflicted on him? But he felt her press herself against him, pushing her legs out and bending them so they stood as towers on either side of him and he was finding the area between his legs to be taking over his thinking for him.
He couldn't defeat the extreme appetite for her, but he put up a small desperate struggle, laying perfectly still for a moment and hearing Kagome's quiet cooing moans as his finger traced her breasts subconsciously. But the decision was made when his eyes fell upon her skirt which was scrunched up somewhat revealing some of her extremely ready private area. Now, no matter how much he could have wanted to stop, nothing could have kept him away from her, not even if Hell stood in the way, not even if Kagome's parents both walked in at that moment... grasping her arms even tighter he suddenly found a burst of energy and took off like a rocket, lunging toward her, thrusting himself deep within her.
Perhaps he wasn't' good at admitting other were correct, even to himself, but not one inch of his being could deny that what Kagome had said about anticipation and wait only making the pleasure better was incorrect. He shut his eyes almost hurting his own ears with his hollering and felt his face burning with sweat, suddenly Kagome's own moans over powered his by far. At that moment he realized she most likely had been anticipating this even more than he had, almost making him laugh he thought reminded him of how her cat Buyo never would show any sign of desire for a type of meat when he tortured the cat by holding it out of his reach for long enough...until he succumbed to it... But his thoughts hardly dwelled at all, the pleasure was too intense for his mind to wander and he touched his face to Kagome's chest breathing heavily and moaning, trying to get over the mind blowingly amazing feeling. Normally it was already pleasurable enough but it seemed he had waited an eternity and that before he had gone unwhole without it he had been running through the sensation in his mind over and over and finally he was fulfilling his deepest need.
When she pushed closer to him causing him to move deeper into her he shouted with all his voice his hands now cluching her body and he began to wonder, how such a being as she could have existed. But most mind boggling of all, was how could she settle for him? He felt her body rumble over and over with her cries of ecstasy and he could not form one word even though he wanted to scream to her how much he loved her, scream how wonderful she was, how beautiful she was, he couldn't hold onto one thought too long, he could hardly move his lips, they opened themselves in order for him to simply groan incomprehensible things. His voice just rang out mainly as loud unintelligible cries because he could hardly believe it was real, that he was really here, with Kagome, somehow now more than ever it felt more surreal that he was receiving such exquisite sensations from her pressing close and falling farther, then pressing close. Finally he couldn't take the fact she was doing almost everything, he grasped her legs lifting her up into him and pressed with every ounce he had though his energy was now leaving him...
She moaned so loudly he felt a smile coming on even despite a huge panic striking through him at the very real possibility that someone had heard. There was a few moments where the entire space was echoing with loud pants and murmurs, but Inuyasha pushed himself farther yet again, achieving a very rewarding reaction from Kagome as her sweating hand fell onto his back making a distinct slapping noise with the sweat on sweat contact, "Inuyasha!! Inuyasha!! Inu...oh...oh...oh GOD!! INUYASHA PLEASE NEVER--OH--INUYASHA!!! I--CAN'T--OH I--INUYASHA!!!" This was heavenly, receiving such wondrous sensations on his own part but causing her to belt out his name as if he was a fuel needed in her life in order to live was perhaps what made it all worth while. Soon their breaths started to become more and more controlled and finally it ended but not at all in a fashion of disappointment or yearning for the pleasure while it lasted but it was quite how one feels after eating to their fill, satisfied.
The two lay side by side for several moment, gasping for breath desperately, creating soft sounds that echoed far less harshly against those close walls than their breathing and exclaiming before. This time period was the calm of an ocean after a vigorous tide the wind whistle in and out of its shores, a nice warmth spreading over everything. A wry little catlike smile crept onto Kagome's face as she gazed up at the ceiling which was spinning slowly to her view. "Oh...you're JUST as good when you're human...Inuyasha..." she breathed out of the silence that for some reason until that moment, Inuyasha had thought was inpenetratible. A very, very wide and please grin came to him face. "...oh....my god..." she laughed, "its always wonderful with you, no matter what..." His smile broadened
"Yeah? I thought you were the wonderful one..." he paused a somewhat unhappy expression on his face,"I so don't deserve you...Kagome... You need much better than me..."
"I doubt that's what my father said...."
"Yeah, he's such a fool, he thought you couldn't choose better," he laughed in disdain for himself, "..right....' Kagome frowned. and propped herself up on an elbow.
"What the FUCK do you mean?" she demanded and Inuyasha raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked over at her He had never heard hear talk like THAT before. "YOU'RE the one that's too good for ME, and my dad knows what he's talking about, he's not a fool!" kagome was surprised as well, but mainly at how vexed she had become. Inuyasha was at a loss for words, how could she EVER think HE was too good for HER, that seemed utterly impossible... She paused for a long while and in the silence Inuyasha began to feel bad about making kagome so upset, "Inuyahsa...you're...like....an angel or something--you're amazing, you're so--" she sighed dreamily, staring at him with the most googly googly-eyes he had every seen. "...so perfect--stunning I mean...almsot like you come from somewhere else way higher than I could ever be..." Even though Inuyasha was sure she had worded that exceedingly well, he still could not understand any better how she could feel that he surpassed her in someway. A small defeated sigh escaped her as another silence wrapped around them, tightly, shielding them from the prying eyes of the gift's receiver, reality would never reach them now.
Inuyasha didn't sense her move at all, he wasn't looking at her, and he did not possess his heightened hearing or smell as he wouldn't regain his half demon powers until the sun rose A frown faded onto Inuyasha's face as he delved more into his thoughts concerning Kagome and how he was positive that he did not deserve her. He knew he had to speak with her about it. "Kagome--" he began but the second he said it, he felt Kagome's mouth on his before he could even see her anywhere near him. He began to thoroughly melt in her kiss.
"I need--you--once more--I'm sorry---but--I thought about it--and--i couldn't--stand--it---I need you--I need your touch again..." SHE needed HIM? How? How could someone like her need him? He just couldn't fathom how in this world she could need him like that...
"But--Kagome--how could you--need me?"
"Fuck you."
"I'm a--bad--influence...."
"Damn straight..." Now, perhaps he didn't deserve her but he loved her so much, her last statement caused the instinctual yearning in him to flare uncontrollably. He could never let her go. Though he felt his arousal quickly returning...he felt son unbelievably weary...
"I just...wish you did this when I...was half...demon...I could...take it....then...."
"Shut up you bastard," Kagome laughed as she whispered. It was then he realized the last three things Kagome had said contained elicit language, that was an all time record for her, Inuyasha was sure. But he quickly dropped this when he felt her hand slid over his left leg as she kissed him and stream up and down what Inuyasha would gladly let her claim has her territory. He shouted her name a few times feeling weariness was no longer a problem. He saw Kagome's pearl white teeth gleam in the dim light and he grinned slightly suddenly feeling the strong need to put the woman in her place.
"Stupid wench," Inuyasha joked, grasped her arms tightly, lifting her up and pinning her down roughly underneath him. "You won't get the better of me...." She didn't seem very put out by this at all, and still had a smile on her face as she lifted up her hand and sunk her nails into his left arm. Her other arm slowly lifted making a clawing motion in the air.
"Rairr," she said jokingly, "you can't do this, since when do you own me? I'm feeling so untamed and free! Like no one can tell me what to do or make me do what they want!" Inuyasha didn't reply to this a moment, as Kagome's hand began to slide to his pelvis once more.
"Yeah, well I'm feeling squirrelly," Inuyasha returned mischievously, diving down and kissing Kagome neck and chest so lightly it tickled badly and resulted in her giggling uncontrollably, he then moved his lips apart and spun over her flesh so hard with her tongue Kagome gasp harshly and moaned very soundly. She removed her nails from his arm and her own limbs fell flat to the ground as she sprawled out, opening her legs slightly to allow Inuyasha to nestle her from the outside of her skirt with his hardness, writhing pleasurably to the right and left feeling him pushing up against different sides in her opening bud. She surrendered to him, feline instincts and all.
Sota struggled against his binding shouting against the bad tasting cotton that had been wedged in his mouth, he scanned in vain through the haunting pitch black, squinting, trying to make out something. The only thing thats he could see whatsoever, though, were the bright blotches of colors that appeared before him when he blinked. He screamed more but it was all very futile as found there was absolutely no way he could be loud enough for his voice to carry through the walls. His hands were tied and his legs were bound with bungie cords to a wooden chair, and as far as he knew there wasn't another soul...
Suddenly the sound of breathing met his ear and he frantically looked around the room though he was quite blind without any light whatsoever inside. "MMMMM MMMM!!!" came his voice though he had sceamed with all his might and throat.
"Hmm?" came another muffled voice that Sota was relieved to identify as Yuka's. He quickly returned with a muffled scream as a sort of inquiry--just a questioning that was muddled with panic asking her for anything: where, how, who; anything. He heard quite a bit of struggle and noise coming from the source of Yuma's first reply and after that he could hear he heavy breaths quite clearly. She had gotten the sock out of her mouth and the rope to slide off her face muffling her voice away; Sota suddenly began to wonder if this was a curse of fate rather than a blessing... "Sota! What's happened!?"
"MM MMM MMM!" he returned in the coherent tone of "I don't know". Yuka was deep in thought for a moment.
"Hmm, wait, we ran into that one room and then...someone threw sacks over us and...brought us here...it was too dark to see, plus it was scary so I couldn't struggle...I was sitting here a while and then I feel asleep....you struggled so much earlier they had to knock you out so you woke when I was asleep huh?" Sota's muffled shout came her way, obviously flabbergasted and appalled at the fact she had fallen asleep after being bound and gagged. "I THINK we're in the hotel still....so we have to be hostages....that means they won't hurt us because our friends and family will DEFINITELY pay if means our lives. But it still means we're in a really uncomfortable place...." A said whining muffled cry came from Sota, it was obvious he wasn't so sure of their safety as Yuka was. A concerned expression came to her face. "They'll come get us....they'll find us, soon, Sota...." At least....I hope... she thought.
They still didn't know where any of the four were. All of them had gone missing. Kagome, Yuka, Inuyasha, and Sota...all four adults had been searching for their children to no avail and now they sat in the lobby, Kagome's mother pacing anxiously, Yuka's biting her nails, and her father was sitting one of the couches in deep thought... Toru knew he should be worried about his daughter and son, but he couldn't get his mind off the past events that evening...
"What do you want to talk about?" Kagome mother asked him, her brown eyes meeting his hazel ones.
"How can you possibly say that?" he inquired, feeling his eyes stinging. "How can you possibly ask what I want to talk about? More like what DON'T I want to talk about! I know nothing of my family. I haven't heard from any of you for the past six years and is that all you can say to me?" Kagome's mother didn't meet his gaze, she kept her eyes off of him. "Why? Can I ask that? Why?"
He snapped out of it when very loud banging noises came from nearby, he got a great pain in his stomach when he felt the guilt over come him that he wasn't more worried about his children. He caught sight of the source of the noises, Yuka's father, kicking a vending machine after it wouldn't relinquish the Pepsi he bought and he had put a dollar bill inside. Yuka's father didn't seem very worried at all, that made Toru's conscience feel a little lighter.
But Kagome's mother still didn't return. Toru didn't speak as she hadn't and he looked down at the city for several moments unsure what to say at the time. There was again several minutes where all that could be heard were buses and cars, horns and shouts from below that seemed so far away that perhaps they were from another world not of the one the two had now entered in all the anxiety and stangeness. He finally took in a deep breath and as he walked up to the railing of the balcony, found his voice penetrating the air, "I...still love you Nii-Nii....can I still call you that nickname? It's...habit, I'm sorry, if it bother's you I'll--"
"No," she cut in sounding weary, he looked at her taken aback, "No I don't mind if you do..." An slight smile came to his face, but it didn't stop a pain from spreading throughout him.
Toru's gaze fell onto her, hair so black, with that slight lovely sheen that had stayed since her younger daze. He snapped out of his memories and fell into another daze, simply transfixed with the woman he loved who seemed just as beautiful to him as ever. A deep sigh escaped him and when several people looked his way, he froze no daring to breathe but attempted to seem nonchalant. They finally looked away and he found his thoughts wandering away again...
There was another period of quiet, but this one was more pleasant and less awkward, and all quite was replaced by the bustle of the city which somehow made it more endurable. He knew why it wa so hard for her to speak to him, why had he been so insensitive to it earlier, but he still needed to know. Even if it was insensitive, Toru needed to get answers, "I know it might be the wrong time to ask, but I have to know, why did you leave me?"
The orange-red light glowed and reflected in her brown eyes, making it almost seem as if the flames were trying to find fuel from the endless brown wilderness of her iris. He pulled her close as an ember tumbled from one of the bigger logs and nearly landed in some of her outstretched ebony hair which curled and tangled and flowed far from her head, in all directions. "That was a close one..." she giggled she put her right index and middle fingers on the stone that extended a couple feet from the fire place and she moved them over as if they formed a person, slowly walking them along to the narrowly evaded ember. Carefully, she touched it with the very tip of her first finger, then stole her finger back a pained expression on her face. "Ouch!" she hissed putting her finger in her mouth, "that hurt...' she whined.
"Duh," he said, leaning his face closed to hers as his arms tightened around her. "Why do you think I moved you before?"
"Cause it would have burned my hair."
"Yeah, but duh its going to burn you if you touch it."
"I know that, I'm not stupid, I just couldn't help it. It looked so pretty."
"Just because something's pretty doesn't mean you have to touch it," Inuyasha cooed, as if she were a little child.
"Then, why do you with me?" Kagome joked, turning over onto her back and wrapping her arms around his neck. Inuyasha had been laying right beside her, his arms around her and his body somewhat on her back, but now she had moved, and he snuggled close again.
"Hmm...maybe 'cause I know you won't burn...."
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think...what would you think...about...well..."
"What?"
"...me having your baby?" His expression was slightly surprised but he had gone over the possibility in his mind before. It shouldn't have come as a shock, it wasn't as if it was something that could never happen...
"Well, it's pretty likely that you are, isn't it?" he murmured in return, a slightly vacant expression on his face. A baby? Sure, he'd thought about it, but he hadn't really sropped and seriously considered the very strong possibility that his son--or even daughter--was growing in Kagome's body right now...
"You okay?" she giggled, she stopped a smile still on her face, "you're not scared are you?" He stopped his staring match with the face of the grandfather clock on the wall in front of him.
"A little...but I mean, shouldn't I be? I don't think I'd be a good father, do you?"
"Course you would!" she cried in a surprised tone, "why wouldn't you?"
"I never had a father, so how would I know how to be one?"
"It's an instict, Inuyasha, you'd love him with all your heart and that would be enough..." she whispered, pulling herself up closer to him and kissed him on the cheek very slowly and gently. "Don't worry about it, I know it'll all turn out alright."
"Yeah, but I'll probably have some quarter demon kid running around either way..."
"Probably, but that's ok, I already thought it all through..." Inuyasha's eyes flew to hers.
"You did?" he inquired in awe, he had hardly thought about it much at all. Perhaps he was trying to save himself some of the anxiety. Of course when he was going to be with Kagome the first time he thouight about it a whole lot and convinced himself that a son would be a wonderful thing anyhow. And only one so there wouldn't be another mess with tetsusaiga like last time. The only child would get tetsusaiga as an inheiritence, no fighting, end of story, he obviouslt didn't need a repeat of the whole Sesshomaru thing. Only, until a few moments ago, he had never considered "he" could be a "she."
"Mmm hmm, and her room will be all pink and it'll have--"
"You mean he," Inuyasha cut it in.
"Well, I guess it could be a boy, but I'm hoping it's a girl."
"No way, we need a boy! If we don't get a boy, then I won't know what to do! I don't know how to raise a girl!" Inuyasha cried looking somewhat alarmed.
"Oh, you'll be fine, it's all a learning process...we'll just have to see. It could be either one."
"It's the future, if you guys can go to the fucking moon, can't you make it a boy or girl? I mean, damn!"
"Shh, what if there IS baby in me and she OR he is hearing that language?" Kagome whispered looking horrified at the idea.
"Oh come on, it can't hear me, Kagome, you might not even be pregnant at all," Inuyasha returned softly, hugging her close.
"You're right, besides, in it's stage right now the egg is probably just been fertalized anyway..."
"Egg?"
"Well yeah I mean say I didn't get pregnant from the first time, then the egg would have just gotten fertalized minutes ago..." Kagome explained pulling away a little from Inuyasha who seemed even more confused. "One of the eggs inside me."
"You lay eggs? What?" Inuyasha gasped, looking bewildered.
"No," Kagome laughed, "All women have eggs that have to be fertalized by a man's sperm in order for her to become pregnant."
"Huh?"
"Nevermind," Kagome laughed shaking her head, as she nuzzled into him further. "We don't have to think too much about it for a while, in a few days then I can test and make sure if we're going to have a baby, for now though, we don't even have to worry about it, kay?"
"Alright..."
"So you're not afraid?"
"I thought I didn't have to think ab--"
"I know..." Kagome said, slowly, looking somewhat saddened, "but if you're scared, then it's all my fault.." Inuyasha's face became etched with surprise.
"What? How could it be you're fault? I was the one who--"
"No," Kagome cut in quietly, staring at the flames in the fireplace, "it's the future and we have technology that could have prevented me from getting pregnant--if I am anyway... I just wasn't sure you know? If having a baby was something I didn't want to do... And I felt so bad about beating around the bush for an entire year...avoiding telling you how I felt...how could I turn you down that night, Inuyasha?" Her eyes looked up into his own swlowly and they were ridden with guilt. He stared at her solemnly for a moment.
"It isn't your fault," he said, "I'm not sure if I'd want you to stop yourself...from getting pregnant--thought its kind of selfish...I should want to stop you...because you're so young, Kagome." He gazed down at her, now looking somewhat ashamed himself, but a slight frown came on Kagome's face. At first Inuyasha's heart sped up a little at the fear she could be angry with him for what he said, but he soon realized it was a determined expression that was on her face.
"I'm sixteen, I can deal with the consequences of my actions, and I'm not scared. So I'm just making sure you're not either." There was a long pause, the fire crackling making the only sound for a short time, and Inuyasha took a breath unable to take his eyes off her.
"No, I'm not scared, Kagome. As long as I have you, how could I be afraid?"
The silence that followed then was a very calm one and Inuyasha could sense a slight tenseness that he hadn't recognized before that had been around for some time, fade now. He heard a small laugh come from Kagome, who snuggled back into him, and he buried his fingers in her hair, pulling her into him. "I thought you coming was such a bad idea...or maybe I was just afraid that how I was acting would make it obvious to Sota and Mom that I secretly liked you... Either way, if you didn't come I'd never be here now...and none of the amazing things that happened on this trip would have, would they?"
"Yeah...and this is only the second day, isn't it?" Kagome gasped.
"Wow--it's been a very long day...I can't believe there are eight left..."
"Guess a lot more could happen in eight days..." There was another quiet when suddenly Kagome felt Inuyasha body shake with his laughter, "Oh I know I shouldn't be laughin' but Sango and Miroku and Shippo too...they're probably furious..."
"Oh no! You're right...I wonder if their still waiting..."
"'Course they are." Kagome didn't say anything for a long while as a smile came to her face at the pleasent thought that she had friends that would always wait for her. Suddenly, her thoughts wandered to another subject entirely.
"What did you and Dad talk about before?"
"Huh?" he said, snapping out of the daze her eyes were setting on him, "Oh, well he put on this act that he was still mad at me, which you totally let me fall for... But he actually likes me for some reason..."
"Did he ask you any tough questions?"
"Not really...but he asked if I planned on marrying you...." Kagome's eyes widened and a little gasp escaped her as she put her hand to her mouth momentarily.
"Oh boy, you poor guy, you probably panicked, huh? But he was kidding, right...well, what did you say?" Inuyahsa looked slightly confused.
"Why would I panic, I knew what to say..." he said smiling down at her. "I said of course I was planning on marrying you, I said when you were older and I even said if it was okay with him, so I think my answer was pretty good..."
"Inuyasha!" She abruptly sat up and pushed him away.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh!!" Inuyasha exclaimed anxiously, searching for a posisble reason he may have upset her, suddnely he dawned on the most obvious one and he never felt more stupid, which was saying something, "Dammit! Of course after I asked you! Only if it was okay with you I mean!" He assured he hastilly. He hit himself on the forehead, "Duh!" he hissed at himself. His eyes cautiously traveled back up to Kagome, who was sitting very still and didn't appear very angry at all, on the contrary she seemed happy...but Inuyasha wasn't so sure. "Kagome?"
"Were you...were you really planning on...marrying me?"
"UM..." inuyasha said slowly as Kagome approached him looking a little crazed, maybe insanely happy as if she had cracked... "I-i-is this a trick q-question?"
"Huh?"
"I mean..." He stared at her a while she seemed to be waiting for an answer and he knew regardless of it being the one she wanted he had to tell her the honest one, "...yes, yes I was." A very loud gasp escaped her and she came close to him.
"Really?" Her face was brightened and Inuyasha could tell with a strong relief over coming his nervousness that she was more happy than he was sure he had ever seen her. After a moment of recollection he remembered Kagome smiling despite harsh times in the past year, but how she appeared before him now was far different from the form of happiness she seemed to have then. He felt in those times there were moments when she seemed truly happy but it was a fragment of this. And when he thought of her smiles than in comparison to now it made his heart throb painfully because of how sad they appeared to him now. He realized how false her cheer had been then, and he came to the earth shattering conclusion that it had been because of him. Sure, all this time he knew he had hurt her, and felt he owned her so much, but every smile she created before this day out of some sort of false happiness--a lie-- she was telling to her self and everyone else--it was all so heartbreaking that she had been so sad, because of his failure to admit things and commit to her.
Then he knew that now she was feeling such joy and elation because of him, so perhaps now things would be better and he knew that this last day had shown her true happiness that perhaps never had existed in the past. "Yeah," he returned with a grin. "Yeah, I am."
"Oh Inuy--" but her words became muffled as she said them when she flung herself onto him and the sound was lost inside his mouth when it became covered with hers.
"Does he ALWAYS have that dirty of a mouth?" Yuka asked Kagome. Kagome nodded with a sigh.
"This IS fucking boring," Sota agreed nodding, haven't had the faintest clue as to what "fucking" meant. Kagome smacked him.
"Sota!!"
"OW! What was THAT for? I only said it cause, INUYASHA did, you didn't hit him!" Kagome's glare fell onto Inuyasha, whom she promptly socked in the left arm.
"Don't use that kind of language around impressionable minds!" Kagome hissed motioning toward Sota who was humming the Power Rangers theme song as he strolled alone making Kagome shudder.
"Ow...' Inuyasha whispered, he then smirked, "Fucked up fucking fuckers fucking fuck all the fucking time!" he chimed in a sing song voice resulting in being basked from either side of the head from both Kagome and Yuka's fists.
"And why is he your boyfriend again?" Yuka inquired somewhat dead pan again, her fist still clenched. Inuyasha's head throbbed painfully. "I can't believe you did it with a guy like him.
"I didn't!!" Kagome cried blushing.
"If you guys are pranking me, than this reverse psychology would be ingenius...especially since it looks so much like fake lying--but if it isn't a joke and what Inuyasha just said applies to you two, then you guys are just bad liars." Kagome's mouth dropped and her eyes widened, but they quickly narrowed at the smug expression on Yuka's face as they continued down the hall.
"What do you MEAN what he said APPLIES to--"
"Are you going to be straight out truthful Kagome?" Yuka inquired stopped in her tracks and turning to face her friend, "How are you going to prove to me that what you're saying is the truth--that this is neither a prank, or an attempt to cover up certain things you two are doing--but just a misunderstanding." Kagome and Inuyasha both glared at her and Sota simply looked up in a bewildered manner.
"We didn't--DO that, god--what the f--" he looked at Kagome who was giving him quite the dirty look,"--heck matter with you? What could make you think that we were doing something like you think we are!" Inuyasha bellowed at Yuka. She only blinked at him and seemed quite unfazed.
"How come your hair's black now?"
"Um....well..he dyed it," Kagome answered quickly, briskly walking, so the others were forced to follow.
"And his eyes are--"
"Contacts."
"Oh...why the sudden change, Inuyasha?"
"He...um...he..." But fortunately Kagome didn't have to answer when Sota shouted quite loudly creating enough of a distraction to take Yuka's mind off the strange way Kagome's boyfriend had suddenly changed his features without any given reason.
"MMMM!!! Doesn't that smell so GOOD?!" Sota exclaimed, sniffing the air. The remaining three did the same and Kagome nearly sighed with relief at the fortunate diversion.
"Yeah..." Inuyasha replied hungrily, "It's coming from there!" He cried, sprinting toward a swinging door. Kagome, Sota, and Yuka dashed after him and once they got nearer, becoming enveloped more and more in the smell of cooking food, they arrived at the door and were near enough to read the tiny letters, "Hotel Kitchen". "Let's go!" Inuyasha said, drooling, pushing against the door.
"Wait!" Kagome hissed, the sounds of clanking dishes, pots, and silverware, erupting from inside as Inuyasha opened the door. She grabbed the back of the robe he was wearing. "Stop, we're not supposed to--"
"Oh live a little!" Yuka whispered excitedly, cautiously pushing Kagome and Inuyasha inside. Sota followed suit looking somewhat fearful, but his hunger overpowering his anxiety.
Luckily, all four went unnoticed as they dashed to the left hiding behind a table covered in a white table cloth where the ordered food was placed for the bell boys took it from to deliver it to the assigned hotel room. "This is crazy!!" Kagome hissed at Yuka, "We're not supposed to BE in here!" she informed them all hastily, looking very frantic.
"Lighten up, woudja, Kag?" Inuyasha murmured, massaging her buttucks. Kagome went stiff as a board her face reddening as her eyes shifted from Sota to Yuka hoping neither had noticed. She smacked Inuyasha. Hard.
"I'll lighten up once you stop calling me Kag," Kagome growled through gritted teeth. Inuyasha chuckled, and Kagome felt his fingers prodding their way up her skirt, her face heated up quickly and she became very occupied with trying to pry his grip off of her. That was just what Inuyasha had been hoping for, that way Kagome wouldn't notice as he whispered a quick order to Sota, whom, admiring Inuyasha beyond anyone, promptly obeyed. The ten year old peeked his eyes just above the table's surface and Yuka watched with interest, wondering what was about to unfold, entirely obvious to Inuyasha fondling of areas under Kagome's skirt which failed to be shielded by any sort of underwear. Kagome was still trying her best to remove Inuyasha's hand unnoticed.
It was then Sota said, "Got it," holding out a plate which bore a rather juicy looking piece of steak. Inuyasha and Yuka both eyed it hungrily, as did Sota, but Inuyasha glared at them menacingly taking the plate. But the look Kagome was shooting him was far more threatening.
"Pick up the steak, raviolis, and Caesar Salad and deliver them to room 215," came the voice of presumably a chef.
"Right," came another voice as two legs covered in red pants revealed themselves to the four stowaways.
"Hey...where's the steak...?" came another voice.
"Great, NOW look what you three have done, we're going to get in trouble!" Kagome snarled. But Inuyasha wasn't paying the slightest attention to Kagome, he was staring in horror as the red pants on the man's leg's before them began to fold as if he was beginning to kneel down to look under the table... Inuyasha had to think fast and frantically fumble the plate around, and did what he wasn't sure if he regretted or not afterward, sliding the plate out with all his strength out to the left, from under the table.
The motion of the fast moving plate and the sound of it sliding against the tile of the kitchen, caught the bell boy's attention and his blue eyes flew to the dish of steak and he quickly set to pursuing it. He quickly swept up the plate and sighed with relief, eyeing around the room to be sure none of the chefs or other bell boys noticed. His eyes then traveled to the table. How had that happened? Was someone...UNDER that table? Slowly and cautiously, the bell boy headed in the direction of the table and flipped the table cloth up dramatically only to find nothing suspicious underneath....
Inuyasha had hastily grabbed Sota, Kagome, and Yuka and flung them around to the other side of the entirely solid counter in back of the one they had previously hid under. All four huddled praying to dear god that none of the cooks would notice. It was then Kagome caught sight of a hook where all the aprons the cooks wore hung, almost n her reach. "There!" she informed them in a whisper.
"Yeah, it just...slid out..."
"Maybe you're a bit over-worked, John, plates don't just slide out from under tables..."
"Really! It happened! Honest! From right under that table!" The other bell boy eyed the one named John with a worried expression.
"How about I deliver this order, you just relax..." he told his friend with a pat on the back, as he placed the dishes onto the delivery cart and walked out the kitchen door with it. John sighed, running his hand through his blonde hair as he sat down on a chair looking about the room. Was he losing it? Or could there be someone in the kitchen?
Kagome, Yuka, and Inuyasha, all clad in aprons only turned their backs to the cooks at the left side of the room, at a long counter that ran across the entire length of the wall. Kagome pulled Sota in front of her, hiding him from view, and she and Yuka made hand motions as if they were cooking. Inuyasha didn't seem to catch on until he received a painful elbowing the ribs from both Kagome and Yuka at the same time from either side.
One of the cooks walked past them and quickly froze, they didn't seem...familiar. "What the..." He slowly turned to face them again and they were--GONE! Was he seeing things? He shook his head in order to snap out of it.
"Damn that was a close one!" Inuyasha whispered, as they all huddled together once again, seeing the outlines of the cooks and bellboys through the white table cloth that hung down in front of them.
It would be best if he forgot it, the cook was sure, maybe it was just getting late. As he took another step forward, he was sure he saw movement, and quickly spun around to see the table cloth had rippled. Someone or something was underneath!
Inuyasha yelped in pain as Kagome cuffed him over the head, why couldn't he keep his hands to himself? Especially at a time like this! She felt his hand slowly slink out from her her skirt. "What did he do?" Yuka whispered.
The cook slowly approached, and Sota was the only one who seemed to notice his figure approaching. "Uh--guys?"
"Nothing."
"Tell me, Kagome, what did he do?"
"Nothing."
"Come on!"
"I didn't do nothin'!"
"Guys!" They didn't seem to heed him at all and the figure was fast approaching.
"Hey what's this?" Yuka asked suddenly, picking up what looked like a plastic snake.
"There's weird stuff down here..." Inuyasha said, eyeing the pipes, when he caught sight of what looked like a spider in the poor lighting. "Ugh, stupid thing," he promptly crushed it with his fist. He yelped. It was HARD, metal, perhaps. And he didn't have his demon powers. But it moved when his fist collided with it...
"Oh no!" Kagome gasped. The instant Inuyasha had caused whatever it was to move, water sprayed forth from the nozzle of the hose Yuka was holding and, her thumb being in the way, the water sprung with much pressure and easily caused the table cloth to fly up when it splashed against it. The table cloth, unfortunately wasn't the only thing that was soaked...
Yuka was in such a state of shock she found herself unable to think or move and all four watched in horror as she thoroughly soaked the cook standing before them. "Run," Kagome squeaked, and Inuyasha pulled Kagome and Sota up roughly, out from under the table and into the open. Yuka threw the hose as she jumped as far as she could, her eyes shut tightly and was relieved to find herself clasping Inuyasha's back who, even in his human state, managed to carry her weight. For a while anyway.
All the cooks started after them, and it seemed they were doomed as Inuyasha fell over, when Sota slipped as he clutched on to his right hand pulling him down with him and Yuka weight on his back became too much simultaneously. Inuyasha lay on the ground for a moment, and he saw the blurry figures of the cooks quickly approaching them. They were in serious trouble. He looked wildly around and pulled Sota and Yuka up, shoving them toward the exit. "Run for it!" he exclaimed, as he pushed them and performed an airborne flip, causing all the cooks to freeze in awe and he landed neatly on his feet, thrusting Kagome upward when he was standing. "Come on!" he hollered, yanking her with him as he ran toward the other end of the room. There were two doors. They had come in through the one on the right. That was where their escape would be.
All the cooks and bell boys shouted angrily, their cries echoing in the kitchen, most of them, including the thoroughly wet one chased after them. Inuyasha glanced back and noticed the hose was still going crazing and flipping and throwing itself around the room spraying many materials and employees... No wonder they were pissed. Inuyasha and Kagome threw themselves against the door and ran for their lives, the infuriated cooks and bell boys, many of them who were dripping with water, hot on their tail. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Kagome!" Inuyasha exclaimed, throwing her onto his back as he jumped and dodged a spatula which was swatted in his direction by a nearby fury-filled cook. He winced, expecting her to smack him and was shocked when all he got was an ear full of laughter. His now brown eyes looked over at Kagome to see her giggling carelessly as they maneuvered around spatulas, spoons, and pans. "What's so damn funny?" She laughed more and Inuyasha wondered if she had cracked.
"This is fun!"
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he wondered when rabid cooks and bellboys chasing you was considered fun, but forgot the thought when he caught sight of the elevators. He looked back, realizing there was some distance between them and the kitchen employees. He slid, coming to a stop at the elevators, as Kagome pressed the button between them with the arrow pointing up. They waited a while, Kagome laughing and Inuyasha shifting anxiously from right foot to left foot. They were gaining on them to quickly, they couldn't wait any longer, Inuyasha made a break for it. Running as fast as he could away fro m the elevators and down the hall further in order to escape the mass of red uniformed bell boys and white and black dressed chefs. "At least Sota and Yuka are safe..." he breathed.
"Yeah, they probably got back to the room already," Kagome said, her laughter finally stopping, "And we're still down here!" she cried, bursting out into laughter again. Was she drunk? But suddenly at the sound of their infuriated shouts, Inuyasha found himself laughing too. He dashed around the corner, cutting it extremely close and gaining more speed finally catching sight of a door. He wrenched open the door labeled "Janitor's Closet" and closed it behind he and Kagome as he leapt with her on his back inside.
Inuyasha sighed, falling against the door in a relieved manner, and he began to slide down it, quite out of breath. But before he could get anywhere near a sitting position, Kagome had roughly pinned him against the door, pressing her body against his forcibly while kissing him in a frenzy. She twisted her tongue into his mouth tigerishly, her legs bent as they opened, her knees pressing into the sides of each of his legs tightly as she massaged his pelvis with her own. His lips moved from hers and he slid his mouth down her face to her neck where he performed a variety of nervous quirky kisses which caused Kagome's neck to tingled irresistibly when at that moment he sucked her skin with sudden force out of his light caresses that he had been placing on her neck with his tongue and lips His touches were shaky and nervous slightly just as some of them had been the first time they were together, perhaps because he had never before made love to her as a human.
Unfortunately, Kagome felt herself losing control at his kisses and as he pressed his hardness against her and pulled it away at unexpected intervals She moaned as he continued kissing her neck, feeling her head lifting instinctively so he could kiss her more, but he continued to back off then press so forcefully it almost hurt with his mouth unpredictably. It served well to arouse her, but feline's always must stay in control, and she felt very much like one as she latched on his waist suddenly, with her nails digging into his skin like claws and she tore his robe open in a heated frenzy with her teeth biting onto his skin sensually, but frantically enough so that it hurt him slightly. She caught his left nipple up in her mouth, caressing it with a gentle and calculating tongue, but a passionate energy, causing him to moan uncontrollably. She could feel him hardening against her further and pressing himself against her skirt, he yearned to enter her.
But everyone knows, a feline NEVER comes when she is called.
So just like an instinct, she continued to grind him teasingly and licked and gnawed over his nipples causing him let out several groans, she would have him know to the extent he needed to appreciate her. Would he own her and squash out her independence? Yeah right. It was at that moment, however, she felt his hands fall on her breasts, then quickly leave, and grasp at her skirt, he was acting rather squirrely and a little unsure of what to do, but he knew what he wanted, and he intended on getting it. Yet, this was alright with Kagome as she felt a smirk come to her face, she felt her hormones race at the prospect of a challenge. What was the point in the hunt if the prey already gave itself up? She threw her body onto him with all her strength pinning him mercilessly, and stealing her hand between his legs rubbing vigorously Immediately after this she felt his grip on her skirt fall away and his arms went limp and his arms thudded against the door behind him. "Kag...ome!! Oh...oh Kagome!!" she felt him attemtping to press against her again, "...why...I want...why/" he breathed shutting his eyes as he failed to restrain more moans that quickly came to a stop when Kagome stopped caressing him.
"...I won't let you quite yet..because I want to hear you moan."
"But--"
"I mean really really moan..." she murmured mischievously as she grinned, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her tongue against his chest. She slowly squatted, lowering her body with her tongue tracing down his skin. He breathed heavily, his eyes opening wide just before they closed tightly again and he murmured her name over and over. She paused and and he gripped her shoulders needily from above. "They say waiting heightens the arousal...you know...anticipation making for better sex..." she whispered, her lips and tongue finally regaining contact with his muscles and stroking them as her body slinked down him. He gasped and shuddered feeling his face contort with the resounding pleasure racing through him, when her tongue reached its destination, the entire area between his legs felt aa if was heating up substantially as her mouth met it. The strangled breaths and gasps were almost lost in his booming cries of passion and pleading for her to never stop.
"Oh!!! Kagome!! Oh...Ka...ka....oh..." She felt his sweaty palms grips her dark hair as her lips and tongue more vigorously searched where it caused him to lose it entirely. He breathed some incomprehensible words convulsing slightly and working his hips closer to her shakily, causing her tongue to press into him harder and he screamed her name when she curved it along ever so slothfully and passionately. She took her mouth upward leaving him trembling so badly, his body falling limp and beyond his control as he fell forward on his knees and he knocked Kagome over, falling on top of her lightly, pleading in a shaking voice, "Please..." He closed his eyes feeling the temptation, the extremity of his arousal almost so extreme he didn't know anything else, as he kissed her and dragged his tongue down her neck, ripped open her blouse and worked his tongue into the crevis between bosoms haphazardly and he grasped her arms which her spread out, tightly pinning her down as he continued to lightly and hardly touch with his lips then fully take her surprise with a relentless press of his tongue and a quick switch to his lips once more sucking so fiercely Kagome was sure it would leave a mark...
She wouldn't move him, though, she was in a rare position for her current need to be in control, on her back, and at the mercy of Inuyasha in all his nervousness. Somehow she found the very fact he fumbled and shook to be such a turn on...his lips pressing against her nipple as her back arched suddenly with an extreme and unpreventable hunger for his presence within her. A smile came to his lips and he almost sighed with relief knowing she finally would let him indulge in her. Yet, as a flash of lightening strikes a miniscule tree stump, a strange thought came to him, perhaps he should cause her to wait and feel a little of the somewhat agonizing anticipation she had inflicted on him? But he felt her press herself against him, pushing her legs out and bending them so they stood as towers on either side of him and he was finding the area between his legs to be taking over his thinking for him.
He couldn't defeat the extreme appetite for her, but he put up a small desperate struggle, laying perfectly still for a moment and hearing Kagome's quiet cooing moans as his finger traced her breasts subconsciously. But the decision was made when his eyes fell upon her skirt which was scrunched up somewhat revealing some of her extremely ready private area. Now, no matter how much he could have wanted to stop, nothing could have kept him away from her, not even if Hell stood in the way, not even if Kagome's parents both walked in at that moment... grasping her arms even tighter he suddenly found a burst of energy and took off like a rocket, lunging toward her, thrusting himself deep within her.
Perhaps he wasn't' good at admitting other were correct, even to himself, but not one inch of his being could deny that what Kagome had said about anticipation and wait only making the pleasure better was incorrect. He shut his eyes almost hurting his own ears with his hollering and felt his face burning with sweat, suddenly Kagome's own moans over powered his by far. At that moment he realized she most likely had been anticipating this even more than he had, almost making him laugh he thought reminded him of how her cat Buyo never would show any sign of desire for a type of meat when he tortured the cat by holding it out of his reach for long enough...until he succumbed to it... But his thoughts hardly dwelled at all, the pleasure was too intense for his mind to wander and he touched his face to Kagome's chest breathing heavily and moaning, trying to get over the mind blowingly amazing feeling. Normally it was already pleasurable enough but it seemed he had waited an eternity and that before he had gone unwhole without it he had been running through the sensation in his mind over and over and finally he was fulfilling his deepest need.
When she pushed closer to him causing him to move deeper into her he shouted with all his voice his hands now cluching her body and he began to wonder, how such a being as she could have existed. But most mind boggling of all, was how could she settle for him? He felt her body rumble over and over with her cries of ecstasy and he could not form one word even though he wanted to scream to her how much he loved her, scream how wonderful she was, how beautiful she was, he couldn't hold onto one thought too long, he could hardly move his lips, they opened themselves in order for him to simply groan incomprehensible things. His voice just rang out mainly as loud unintelligible cries because he could hardly believe it was real, that he was really here, with Kagome, somehow now more than ever it felt more surreal that he was receiving such exquisite sensations from her pressing close and falling farther, then pressing close. Finally he couldn't take the fact she was doing almost everything, he grasped her legs lifting her up into him and pressed with every ounce he had though his energy was now leaving him...
She moaned so loudly he felt a smile coming on even despite a huge panic striking through him at the very real possibility that someone had heard. There was a few moments where the entire space was echoing with loud pants and murmurs, but Inuyasha pushed himself farther yet again, achieving a very rewarding reaction from Kagome as her sweating hand fell onto his back making a distinct slapping noise with the sweat on sweat contact, "Inuyasha!! Inuyasha!! Inu...oh...oh...oh GOD!! INUYASHA PLEASE NEVER--OH--INUYASHA!!! I--CAN'T--OH I--INUYASHA!!!" This was heavenly, receiving such wondrous sensations on his own part but causing her to belt out his name as if he was a fuel needed in her life in order to live was perhaps what made it all worth while. Soon their breaths started to become more and more controlled and finally it ended but not at all in a fashion of disappointment or yearning for the pleasure while it lasted but it was quite how one feels after eating to their fill, satisfied.
The two lay side by side for several moment, gasping for breath desperately, creating soft sounds that echoed far less harshly against those close walls than their breathing and exclaiming before. This time period was the calm of an ocean after a vigorous tide the wind whistle in and out of its shores, a nice warmth spreading over everything. A wry little catlike smile crept onto Kagome's face as she gazed up at the ceiling which was spinning slowly to her view. "Oh...you're JUST as good when you're human...Inuyasha..." she breathed out of the silence that for some reason until that moment, Inuyasha had thought was inpenetratible. A very, very wide and please grin came to him face. "...oh....my god..." she laughed, "its always wonderful with you, no matter what..." His smile broadened
"Yeah? I thought you were the wonderful one..." he paused a somewhat unhappy expression on his face,"I so don't deserve you...Kagome... You need much better than me..."
"I doubt that's what my father said...."
"Yeah, he's such a fool, he thought you couldn't choose better," he laughed in disdain for himself, "..right....' Kagome frowned. and propped herself up on an elbow.
"What the FUCK do you mean?" she demanded and Inuyasha raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked over at her He had never heard hear talk like THAT before. "YOU'RE the one that's too good for ME, and my dad knows what he's talking about, he's not a fool!" kagome was surprised as well, but mainly at how vexed she had become. Inuyasha was at a loss for words, how could she EVER think HE was too good for HER, that seemed utterly impossible... She paused for a long while and in the silence Inuyasha began to feel bad about making kagome so upset, "Inuyahsa...you're...like....an angel or something--you're amazing, you're so--" she sighed dreamily, staring at him with the most googly googly-eyes he had every seen. "...so perfect--stunning I mean...almsot like you come from somewhere else way higher than I could ever be..." Even though Inuyasha was sure she had worded that exceedingly well, he still could not understand any better how she could feel that he surpassed her in someway. A small defeated sigh escaped her as another silence wrapped around them, tightly, shielding them from the prying eyes of the gift's receiver, reality would never reach them now.
Inuyasha didn't sense her move at all, he wasn't looking at her, and he did not possess his heightened hearing or smell as he wouldn't regain his half demon powers until the sun rose A frown faded onto Inuyasha's face as he delved more into his thoughts concerning Kagome and how he was positive that he did not deserve her. He knew he had to speak with her about it. "Kagome--" he began but the second he said it, he felt Kagome's mouth on his before he could even see her anywhere near him. He began to thoroughly melt in her kiss.
"I need--you--once more--I'm sorry---but--I thought about it--and--i couldn't--stand--it---I need you--I need your touch again..." SHE needed HIM? How? How could someone like her need him? He just couldn't fathom how in this world she could need him like that...
"But--Kagome--how could you--need me?"
"Fuck you."
"I'm a--bad--influence...."
"Damn straight..." Now, perhaps he didn't deserve her but he loved her so much, her last statement caused the instinctual yearning in him to flare uncontrollably. He could never let her go. Though he felt his arousal quickly returning...he felt son unbelievably weary...
"I just...wish you did this when I...was half...demon...I could...take it....then...."
"Shut up you bastard," Kagome laughed as she whispered. It was then he realized the last three things Kagome had said contained elicit language, that was an all time record for her, Inuyasha was sure. But he quickly dropped this when he felt her hand slid over his left leg as she kissed him and stream up and down what Inuyasha would gladly let her claim has her territory. He shouted her name a few times feeling weariness was no longer a problem. He saw Kagome's pearl white teeth gleam in the dim light and he grinned slightly suddenly feeling the strong need to put the woman in her place.
"Stupid wench," Inuyasha joked, grasped her arms tightly, lifting her up and pinning her down roughly underneath him. "You won't get the better of me...." She didn't seem very put out by this at all, and still had a smile on her face as she lifted up her hand and sunk her nails into his left arm. Her other arm slowly lifted making a clawing motion in the air.
"Rairr," she said jokingly, "you can't do this, since when do you own me? I'm feeling so untamed and free! Like no one can tell me what to do or make me do what they want!" Inuyasha didn't reply to this a moment, as Kagome's hand began to slide to his pelvis once more.
"Yeah, well I'm feeling squirrelly," Inuyasha returned mischievously, diving down and kissing Kagome neck and chest so lightly it tickled badly and resulted in her giggling uncontrollably, he then moved his lips apart and spun over her flesh so hard with her tongue Kagome gasp harshly and moaned very soundly. She removed her nails from his arm and her own limbs fell flat to the ground as she sprawled out, opening her legs slightly to allow Inuyasha to nestle her from the outside of her skirt with his hardness, writhing pleasurably to the right and left feeling him pushing up against different sides in her opening bud. She surrendered to him, feline instincts and all.
Sota struggled against his binding shouting against the bad tasting cotton that had been wedged in his mouth, he scanned in vain through the haunting pitch black, squinting, trying to make out something. The only thing thats he could see whatsoever, though, were the bright blotches of colors that appeared before him when he blinked. He screamed more but it was all very futile as found there was absolutely no way he could be loud enough for his voice to carry through the walls. His hands were tied and his legs were bound with bungie cords to a wooden chair, and as far as he knew there wasn't another soul...
Suddenly the sound of breathing met his ear and he frantically looked around the room though he was quite blind without any light whatsoever inside. "MMMMM MMMM!!!" came his voice though he had sceamed with all his might and throat.
"Hmm?" came another muffled voice that Sota was relieved to identify as Yuka's. He quickly returned with a muffled scream as a sort of inquiry--just a questioning that was muddled with panic asking her for anything: where, how, who; anything. He heard quite a bit of struggle and noise coming from the source of Yuma's first reply and after that he could hear he heavy breaths quite clearly. She had gotten the sock out of her mouth and the rope to slide off her face muffling her voice away; Sota suddenly began to wonder if this was a curse of fate rather than a blessing... "Sota! What's happened!?"
"MM MMM MMM!" he returned in the coherent tone of "I don't know". Yuka was deep in thought for a moment.
"Hmm, wait, we ran into that one room and then...someone threw sacks over us and...brought us here...it was too dark to see, plus it was scary so I couldn't struggle...I was sitting here a while and then I feel asleep....you struggled so much earlier they had to knock you out so you woke when I was asleep huh?" Sota's muffled shout came her way, obviously flabbergasted and appalled at the fact she had fallen asleep after being bound and gagged. "I THINK we're in the hotel still....so we have to be hostages....that means they won't hurt us because our friends and family will DEFINITELY pay if means our lives. But it still means we're in a really uncomfortable place...." A said whining muffled cry came from Sota, it was obvious he wasn't so sure of their safety as Yuka was. A concerned expression came to her face. "They'll come get us....they'll find us, soon, Sota...." At least....I hope... she thought.
They still didn't know where any of the four were. All of them had gone missing. Kagome, Yuka, Inuyasha, and Sota...all four adults had been searching for their children to no avail and now they sat in the lobby, Kagome's mother pacing anxiously, Yuka's biting her nails, and her father was sitting one of the couches in deep thought... Toru knew he should be worried about his daughter and son, but he couldn't get his mind off the past events that evening...
"What do you want to talk about?" Kagome mother asked him, her brown eyes meeting his hazel ones.
"How can you possibly say that?" he inquired, feeling his eyes stinging. "How can you possibly ask what I want to talk about? More like what DON'T I want to talk about! I know nothing of my family. I haven't heard from any of you for the past six years and is that all you can say to me?" Kagome's mother didn't meet his gaze, she kept her eyes off of him. "Why? Can I ask that? Why?"
He snapped out of it when very loud banging noises came from nearby, he got a great pain in his stomach when he felt the guilt over come him that he wasn't more worried about his children. He caught sight of the source of the noises, Yuka's father, kicking a vending machine after it wouldn't relinquish the Pepsi he bought and he had put a dollar bill inside. Yuka's father didn't seem very worried at all, that made Toru's conscience feel a little lighter.
But Kagome's mother still didn't return. Toru didn't speak as she hadn't and he looked down at the city for several moments unsure what to say at the time. There was again several minutes where all that could be heard were buses and cars, horns and shouts from below that seemed so far away that perhaps they were from another world not of the one the two had now entered in all the anxiety and stangeness. He finally took in a deep breath and as he walked up to the railing of the balcony, found his voice penetrating the air, "I...still love you Nii-Nii....can I still call you that nickname? It's...habit, I'm sorry, if it bother's you I'll--"
"No," she cut in sounding weary, he looked at her taken aback, "No I don't mind if you do..." An slight smile came to his face, but it didn't stop a pain from spreading throughout him.
Toru's gaze fell onto her, hair so black, with that slight lovely sheen that had stayed since her younger daze. He snapped out of his memories and fell into another daze, simply transfixed with the woman he loved who seemed just as beautiful to him as ever. A deep sigh escaped him and when several people looked his way, he froze no daring to breathe but attempted to seem nonchalant. They finally looked away and he found his thoughts wandering away again...
There was another period of quiet, but this one was more pleasant and less awkward, and all quite was replaced by the bustle of the city which somehow made it more endurable. He knew why it wa so hard for her to speak to him, why had he been so insensitive to it earlier, but he still needed to know. Even if it was insensitive, Toru needed to get answers, "I know it might be the wrong time to ask, but I have to know, why did you leave me?"
The orange-red light glowed and reflected in her brown eyes, making it almost seem as if the flames were trying to find fuel from the endless brown wilderness of her iris. He pulled her close as an ember tumbled from one of the bigger logs and nearly landed in some of her outstretched ebony hair which curled and tangled and flowed far from her head, in all directions. "That was a close one..." she giggled she put her right index and middle fingers on the stone that extended a couple feet from the fire place and she moved them over as if they formed a person, slowly walking them along to the narrowly evaded ember. Carefully, she touched it with the very tip of her first finger, then stole her finger back a pained expression on her face. "Ouch!" she hissed putting her finger in her mouth, "that hurt...' she whined.
"Duh," he said, leaning his face closed to hers as his arms tightened around her. "Why do you think I moved you before?"
"Cause it would have burned my hair."
"Yeah, but duh its going to burn you if you touch it."
"I know that, I'm not stupid, I just couldn't help it. It looked so pretty."
"Just because something's pretty doesn't mean you have to touch it," Inuyasha cooed, as if she were a little child.
"Then, why do you with me?" Kagome joked, turning over onto her back and wrapping her arms around his neck. Inuyasha had been laying right beside her, his arms around her and his body somewhat on her back, but now she had moved, and he snuggled close again.
"Hmm...maybe 'cause I know you won't burn...."
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think...what would you think...about...well..."
"What?"
"...me having your baby?" His expression was slightly surprised but he had gone over the possibility in his mind before. It shouldn't have come as a shock, it wasn't as if it was something that could never happen...
"Well, it's pretty likely that you are, isn't it?" he murmured in return, a slightly vacant expression on his face. A baby? Sure, he'd thought about it, but he hadn't really sropped and seriously considered the very strong possibility that his son--or even daughter--was growing in Kagome's body right now...
"You okay?" she giggled, she stopped a smile still on her face, "you're not scared are you?" He stopped his staring match with the face of the grandfather clock on the wall in front of him.
"A little...but I mean, shouldn't I be? I don't think I'd be a good father, do you?"
"Course you would!" she cried in a surprised tone, "why wouldn't you?"
"I never had a father, so how would I know how to be one?"
"It's an instict, Inuyasha, you'd love him with all your heart and that would be enough..." she whispered, pulling herself up closer to him and kissed him on the cheek very slowly and gently. "Don't worry about it, I know it'll all turn out alright."
"Yeah, but I'll probably have some quarter demon kid running around either way..."
"Probably, but that's ok, I already thought it all through..." Inuyasha's eyes flew to hers.
"You did?" he inquired in awe, he had hardly thought about it much at all. Perhaps he was trying to save himself some of the anxiety. Of course when he was going to be with Kagome the first time he thouight about it a whole lot and convinced himself that a son would be a wonderful thing anyhow. And only one so there wouldn't be another mess with tetsusaiga like last time. The only child would get tetsusaiga as an inheiritence, no fighting, end of story, he obviouslt didn't need a repeat of the whole Sesshomaru thing. Only, until a few moments ago, he had never considered "he" could be a "she."
"Mmm hmm, and her room will be all pink and it'll have--"
"You mean he," Inuyasha cut it in.
"Well, I guess it could be a boy, but I'm hoping it's a girl."
"No way, we need a boy! If we don't get a boy, then I won't know what to do! I don't know how to raise a girl!" Inuyasha cried looking somewhat alarmed.
"Oh, you'll be fine, it's all a learning process...we'll just have to see. It could be either one."
"It's the future, if you guys can go to the fucking moon, can't you make it a boy or girl? I mean, damn!"
"Shh, what if there IS baby in me and she OR he is hearing that language?" Kagome whispered looking horrified at the idea.
"Oh come on, it can't hear me, Kagome, you might not even be pregnant at all," Inuyasha returned softly, hugging her close.
"You're right, besides, in it's stage right now the egg is probably just been fertalized anyway..."
"Egg?"
"Well yeah I mean say I didn't get pregnant from the first time, then the egg would have just gotten fertalized minutes ago..." Kagome explained pulling away a little from Inuyasha who seemed even more confused. "One of the eggs inside me."
"You lay eggs? What?" Inuyasha gasped, looking bewildered.
"No," Kagome laughed, "All women have eggs that have to be fertalized by a man's sperm in order for her to become pregnant."
"Huh?"
"Nevermind," Kagome laughed shaking her head, as she nuzzled into him further. "We don't have to think too much about it for a while, in a few days then I can test and make sure if we're going to have a baby, for now though, we don't even have to worry about it, kay?"
"Alright..."
"So you're not afraid?"
"I thought I didn't have to think ab--"
"I know..." Kagome said, slowly, looking somewhat saddened, "but if you're scared, then it's all my fault.." Inuyasha's face became etched with surprise.
"What? How could it be you're fault? I was the one who--"
"No," Kagome cut in quietly, staring at the flames in the fireplace, "it's the future and we have technology that could have prevented me from getting pregnant--if I am anyway... I just wasn't sure you know? If having a baby was something I didn't want to do... And I felt so bad about beating around the bush for an entire year...avoiding telling you how I felt...how could I turn you down that night, Inuyasha?" Her eyes looked up into his own swlowly and they were ridden with guilt. He stared at her solemnly for a moment.
"It isn't your fault," he said, "I'm not sure if I'd want you to stop yourself...from getting pregnant--thought its kind of selfish...I should want to stop you...because you're so young, Kagome." He gazed down at her, now looking somewhat ashamed himself, but a slight frown came on Kagome's face. At first Inuyasha's heart sped up a little at the fear she could be angry with him for what he said, but he soon realized it was a determined expression that was on her face.
"I'm sixteen, I can deal with the consequences of my actions, and I'm not scared. So I'm just making sure you're not either." There was a long pause, the fire crackling making the only sound for a short time, and Inuyasha took a breath unable to take his eyes off her.
"No, I'm not scared, Kagome. As long as I have you, how could I be afraid?"
The silence that followed then was a very calm one and Inuyasha could sense a slight tenseness that he hadn't recognized before that had been around for some time, fade now. He heard a small laugh come from Kagome, who snuggled back into him, and he buried his fingers in her hair, pulling her into him. "I thought you coming was such a bad idea...or maybe I was just afraid that how I was acting would make it obvious to Sota and Mom that I secretly liked you... Either way, if you didn't come I'd never be here now...and none of the amazing things that happened on this trip would have, would they?"
"Yeah...and this is only the second day, isn't it?" Kagome gasped.
"Wow--it's been a very long day...I can't believe there are eight left..."
"Guess a lot more could happen in eight days..." There was another quiet when suddenly Kagome felt Inuyasha body shake with his laughter, "Oh I know I shouldn't be laughin' but Sango and Miroku and Shippo too...they're probably furious..."
"Oh no! You're right...I wonder if their still waiting..."
"'Course they are." Kagome didn't say anything for a long while as a smile came to her face at the pleasent thought that she had friends that would always wait for her. Suddenly, her thoughts wandered to another subject entirely.
"What did you and Dad talk about before?"
"Huh?" he said, snapping out of the daze her eyes were setting on him, "Oh, well he put on this act that he was still mad at me, which you totally let me fall for... But he actually likes me for some reason..."
"Did he ask you any tough questions?"
"Not really...but he asked if I planned on marrying you...." Kagome's eyes widened and a little gasp escaped her as she put her hand to her mouth momentarily.
"Oh boy, you poor guy, you probably panicked, huh? But he was kidding, right...well, what did you say?" Inuyahsa looked slightly confused.
"Why would I panic, I knew what to say..." he said smiling down at her. "I said of course I was planning on marrying you, I said when you were older and I even said if it was okay with him, so I think my answer was pretty good..."
"Inuyasha!" She abruptly sat up and pushed him away.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh!!" Inuyasha exclaimed anxiously, searching for a posisble reason he may have upset her, suddnely he dawned on the most obvious one and he never felt more stupid, which was saying something, "Dammit! Of course after I asked you! Only if it was okay with you I mean!" He assured he hastilly. He hit himself on the forehead, "Duh!" he hissed at himself. His eyes cautiously traveled back up to Kagome, who was sitting very still and didn't appear very angry at all, on the contrary she seemed happy...but Inuyasha wasn't so sure. "Kagome?"
"Were you...were you really planning on...marrying me?"
"UM..." inuyasha said slowly as Kagome approached him looking a little crazed, maybe insanely happy as if she had cracked... "I-i-is this a trick q-question?"
"Huh?"
"I mean..." He stared at her a while she seemed to be waiting for an answer and he knew regardless of it being the one she wanted he had to tell her the honest one, "...yes, yes I was." A very loud gasp escaped her and she came close to him.
"Really?" Her face was brightened and Inuyasha could tell with a strong relief over coming his nervousness that she was more happy than he was sure he had ever seen her. After a moment of recollection he remembered Kagome smiling despite harsh times in the past year, but how she appeared before him now was far different from the form of happiness she seemed to have then. He felt in those times there were moments when she seemed truly happy but it was a fragment of this. And when he thought of her smiles than in comparison to now it made his heart throb painfully because of how sad they appeared to him now. He realized how false her cheer had been then, and he came to the earth shattering conclusion that it had been because of him. Sure, all this time he knew he had hurt her, and felt he owned her so much, but every smile she created before this day out of some sort of false happiness--a lie-- she was telling to her self and everyone else--it was all so heartbreaking that she had been so sad, because of his failure to admit things and commit to her.
Then he knew that now she was feeling such joy and elation because of him, so perhaps now things would be better and he knew that this last day had shown her true happiness that perhaps never had existed in the past. "Yeah," he returned with a grin. "Yeah, I am."
"Oh Inuy--" but her words became muffled as she said them when she flung herself onto him and the sound was lost inside his mouth when it became covered with hers.
