InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha's unknown heritage (Yes boring title I know!) ❯ The truth will send you to home school ( Chapter 12 )

Chapter 12) The truth will send you to home school

Kagome rushed as fast as her feet would take her with her heavy backpack. She had left the bike in her speed to get away. The pendant still glowed and even though she wanted to go home, and knew that sooner or later she would have to confront Inuyasha. But not until he cooled down, she didn't think that was a good idea.

Seeing the clearing that the well was in, she sped up, and thought she would taste freedom. A small leap from the well, she was yanked back, her back pack spinning to the clearing edge, and cleanly pinned by the now unhappy hanyou.

Smiling with a touch of anger down at the girl, Inuyasha sagely told Kagome his thoughts. "Now, now Kagome. You can't leave so soon, now can you? That's just impolite, and in the position you are in." Grinning now with his foresight and telling himself he should have thought of it sooner, he looked down at the girl pinned beneath him. Hands holding her arms to her sides and knees pining her legs in place, she couldn't sit him without bodily harming herself. Catching himself purring in satisfaction, Inuyasha studied her. She seemed to be in almost a state of shock. Her eyes wide with comprehension at the helpless position and the fact that she couldn't lie to him. Oh he was going to have fun now. No sitting and only the bold truth from her.

Thinking frantically, Kagome could only gape at Inuyasha. He almost seemed deliriously happy now. Although in her now unlying state, couldn't really blame him for his reaction. She would love to be able to make him speak his thoughts without lies too. But she still did need to catch up on her schoolwork; she was just so seriously behind it wasn't even remotely funny. Although sometimes she had thought over the last year about kinda quitting. She was away so much that most of her teachers knew her mother and grandfather by their first names. She was rarely in class and long distance learning just didn't sit well with her. Her grandfather had come up with a good excuse finally and now being declared a severe diabetic, (a family friend had helped out) her school was thinking of letting her home school anyway. Studying the hanyou with a cringe, Kagome readied herself for him to begin.

Raising his eyebrows at the now determined yet resigned look on her face, he decided to start with her.

"Oi Kagome, why do you have to go home so much?" Inuyasha waited as a series of emotions flashed across her face.

"I am seriously behind on my schoolwork and I want to see my family." Kagome said outright with a defensive expression. Knowing she couldn't lie, Inuyasha nodded his head.

"You are here so often though Kagome. Why do you keep trying to go to school anyway? You are always complaining about being so far behind you will never catch up. So why try?" At this question with a raised brow and toothy smile. Kagome seemed to be really struggling. Smiling wider at this, Inuyasha waited.

As if it seemed to be wretched unwillingly from her brain, Kagome spoke," I don't really have to go back to school. They are trying to get me to home school, or just drop out." Cringing now with pain in her eyes at the absolutely gleeful look on Inuyasha's face. She waited for him to speak.

"And you didn't fucking tell me this? This is fucking great." A look of anger briefly flashed across his face, as he seemed to let his good luck over ride it.

"Ok now." Inuyasha looked meaningfully at her for a moment and seemed to think awhile for his next question.

"Why do you let that Hojo guy hang around you so much?" Inuyasha raised his eyebrows and seemed to wait.

"I don't. He just doesn't seem to get the clue that I don't want to go out with him." Kagome sighed at this and grimaceing looked at Inuyasha inquireingly. At this statement, Inuyasha's brows furrowed and he seemed to be filing that answer away before his expression cleared and locked onto her again.

Suddenly a thought occurred to him, and his face got serious. Looking down upon the girl he had wanted for the whole of two stress filled years. He thought now was a good a time as any and asked the question he had been pondering for awhile. "Do you care anything for me Kagome?"

Different shocked looks seemed to flit across her now worried expression; fear flitted briefly into her scent. This reaction seemed to be a bit extreme to Inuyasha. Why would she fear this one question? Looking down at her with a brief look of longing. He waited.

Kagome was shocked for a few seconds, thinking hurriedly, she couldn't lie to herself, and she couldn't lie to him. Fear reared its head for a moment, until she looked up at his face and quieted. The look of longing she almost didn't see, comforted her as nothing could. She decided to tell the total, no holds barred, truth.

"You could say that." With a look of complete serenity flashing through her eyes, the next few words were shocking and totally life altering to the hanyou. "I love you Inuyasha."

A look of complete shock and then unadulterated joy took over his face.

Then realizing that she was waiting for something in return. He hesitantly said, " I.. I... I care for you as well Kagome."

Knowing Inuyasha the way she did, Kagome decided that this was enough for now and hugged the excited hanyou to herself.

Both hugging and affectionate after this revelation, they stayed there for awhile in complete oblivion to everything.

"Please don't go." Inuyasha whispered with a strange onset of feeling and a pleading expression.

"I'm not leaving you for long. I promise I'll be back. I'll never leave you." Kagome said to the hanyou above her, who she was currently squeezing the breath out of.

"Will you let me go for a week and see if I can home school? Then I can come back and stay with you for the other two weeks of your training. Ok?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, who was now nuzzling the side of her neck.

"Your getting better bitch. You are finally trying to compromise with me for once." Inuyasha said as he raised his head smiling and looked down at Kagome with an almost tender expression.

"Ill still be going to school Inuyasha." Kagome warned with a finger pointed at him. "I just will be doing it at home."

"That just means I can visit you while you are at school now. Doesn't it? And your grandfather will stop with the excuses you are always complaining about.?" Inuyasha asked Kagome with raised eyebrows. Since Kagome told him that he couldn't come to school with her mainly because of the way he looked. Since her school would be at home now, the visiting wouldn't matter.

"True, True." Kagome giggled, remembering several of the excuses her grandfather had cooked up. Brightening up a little more, she thought of the fact that the friends she had, and didn't hardly know anymore, wouldn't be asking her about all her ailments and confusing her to no end anymore.

Smiling and thinking about all the facts. She decided that she would finally have had to decide to do home schooling or drop out anyway. As it is, her friends from school were hardly her friends anymore anyway, so she didn't feel bad about leaving them anymore. All her friends where here now she acknowledged.

Inuyasha satisfied at this new turn of events, Inuyasha rose to his feet and helped Kagome up. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, holding her hand he looked seriously into her now radiant expression decided to ask for a promise, since she pretty much always kept a promise. "Do you "PROMISE!" to be back in a week?"

"Yes I promise Inuyasha." Kagome looked up into her hanyou's eyes with complete trust and remembered the notes from a few months back. (Read my prequil story for the information you are missing.) Thinking to herself she questioned. Was he that insecure about himself? Was he so insecure in the love of anyone and fear that Naraku could take that love away? Thinking this through, she had to acknowledge to herself, some of those things which she knew about him. He had been belittled most of his life, so the insecure thing was a no brainer and Naraku would scare anyone. So she decided to work with him.

Looking down at Kagome, Inuyasha felt almost giddy. She loved him. She really loved him. Smiling to himself, he decided to work with her and let her go for the week. If she didn't come back in a week, he would ask Lina to go after her. He knew she would let him. He trusted Kagome with his life. He would let her go and maybe get to visit her more often, since she would be at home anyway. Life was getting good. He was going to learn some kick ass stuff, the girl he loved had told him she loved him, his brother wasn't trying to steal the tetsaiga, and Naraku seemed to be quite right now.

Retrieving her bag. Inuyasha brought it to Kagome and with both of them smiling now, they went to the well.

"Now remember you promised." Inuyasha said almost pleadingly down to Kagome.

"Yes I know. I will." Kagome answered and then looked down at the ground and questioned hesitantly, " Will you turn the spell off?"

"Oh. I forgot." Inuyasha said with a small sheepish grin on his face. "Release."

The pendant stopped glowing and Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with a grin. She felt great for the first time in a long time. Looking over at the well and back, she slung the pack over her shoulder before looking back into Inuyasha's golden eyes.

Looking down at her face he decided to go with his instincts and he kissed her.

It started off as a slight brushing of lips, but soon got much deeper.

Kissing until they had to breath, Kagome and Inuyasha seemed a little shook up and dazed.

"Well I guess Ill go now." Kagome said in a slightly breathless voice.

"Just remember to come back." Inuyasha said in an almost offhanded fashion as feelings flowed through his body for a time.

Kagome went over and with a dazed wave, jumped into the well.

Inuyasha stared at where she had disappeared for a time. Sitting down abruptly a small distance in front of the well, he touched his lips briefly, recounting the kiss. He felt hot all over, some things protesting the abrupt departure of the cause.

+Dam, not even Kikyo could do that to me. I wonder….+ Stopping that train of thought before he decided to jump down the well after her. Inuyasha stood and not really paying any attention, made his way back to the village.
