InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Irony ❯ Sit! ( Chapter 4 )

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. It appears that some of us have the same kind of ideas. Can't wait until I do put some juicy stuff in this fic, but I guess I'll keep all that on the down low until it happens.

Chapter 4

I don't own Inuyasha

Kagome was blushing while waiting for her turn to walk down with Ikuto. Everything had gone well in the morning when they rehearsed, but she wasn't nervous before. Now she was shaking. 'Kagome, its okay girl.Nothing's going to happen except for you walking down with your arm around Ikuto. Don't be nervous.'

The wedding was small, but magnificent and classy. Not many people were invited, which didn't surprise Kagome. Suno didn't seem like the affectionate type who would want to express everything out in the open in front of a large group of people. There was an orchestra playing the music, and Kagome was told that there would be a special surprise at the end, fire works would shoot out into the sky when Suno kissed his bride. It was an elegant wedding, under a starry sky in their backyard. It wasn't even a cold night. "Everything is perfect" Sarah, the bride to be, would say over and over again while she was conversing with her bridesmaids. "This is all I've every wanted, ever since I was a little girl."

"Go on Kagome" said a woman pushing her out the back door of the house. "It's your turn."

Kagome turned pale when she stepped out of the house and walked in her high healed shoes, to Ikuto. Ikuto was putting on a smile, a smile that was fake, but at least a smile. When he saw Kagome though, his smile rose from the dead, and when his eyes met hers, he didn't look alone.

'She's beautiful' he thought while taking her arm.

Kagome wasn't used to walking in heels very well, but her walk was going well until about half way. 'Crap!' Kagome tripped on the red carpet that had been laid out, and brought Ikuto down with her. "I'm sorry" she whispered forcefully with embarrassment.

"Its okay" he whispered back. "Just stand up and we'll go on, like nothing happened."

Kagome blushed and nodded. If only everything in life was that simple. She heard some people laughing, talking about her in harsh words, some only chuckling, and it was impossible to miss Suno's quiet, but forcefully "Oh God" but none of that mattered. She could just stand up and go on, like she didn't fall. If only everything could be that way. Painful memories would always remain and everyone will always remember where you failed, but just to go on, not because you're running from what happened, but because you have the right to go on.

Ikuto was giving her the look again. It was the same look as yesterday when he asked if they had met before. Technically speaking, they had not, but Kagome knew in her heart what he truly meant, because he was the man she loved from another time, another life, in another form.

Ikuto realized that he was receiving as much emotion as he was putting out, and he smiled. Kagome's heart began to race and she began to blush rapidly.

"No, no!" She pushed Ikuto down, knocking him back on his butt. "Too fast!" Ikuto had a hurt and confused look on his face while Kagome could feel her face burning up. She knew she was blushing.

Ikuto cleared his throat and stood up. He placed a plain expression on his face and reached his hand out to help her. "Come on Kagome."

Kagome grabbed his arm and they both stood up and continued walking down to the alter that was carved out of on single block of wood from Rome.

When Kagome walked over to where the maid of honor stood and Ikuto walked over to where Suno and another male was, Suno gave his little brother a fierce gaze and then decided not to pay any more attention to him.

During the reception, Kagome was still blushing from her fall. She had tried not to make any eye contact with anyone from the wedding. "Uh…" Suno was sitting in the middle of a large table meant for the people in the wedding, sitting next to his new bride. "Um…Mr. Kazasami, I am very sorry that I messed up your wedding." Kagome bowed slightly, to show how truly sorry she was.

"Am I married?"

"Yes."

"Then I guess it wasn't ruined."

It would have been a really sweet comment if Suno wouldn't have sounded so cold. It sounded like a "Didn't I get married dummy?" comment rather than "All I wanted was to get married, so it's alright." Kagome found it hard that Suno could show so little emotion on the day that was supposed to be the happiest in his whole entire life. Sarah was smiling proudly that she had a husband now. Her daughter was next to her, eating a piece of wedding cake.

"Kagome" said Ikuto as he touched her shoulder.

"Oh, hey Ikuto."

He took her hand and led her out to the dance floor where all of the other couples were. Kagome looked around and realized that Ikuto didn't look like anyone in the room, except for his brother. "So, is Suno your only family?"

"Yeah, unfortunately."

"So, did your mother die with your dad?" Kagome wanted to cover her mouth and hide in a corner. She didn't mean to speak that and upset him.

"Yeah," he sounded more harsh then his brother. Kagome could tell that he didn't want to talk about it. Why would he? He didn't like his brother, so why would he want to talk about the day when he became his only living relative.

"I'm really sorry about earlier Ikuto. I didn't mean to push you. I guess I've got a bad habit of hitting guys when I feel endangered."

"Well, if you feel endangered, then I wouldn't actually call it a bad habit, Kagome." He cocked an eyebrow. "So, who else have you pushed?"

She scratched her head. "Well, I pushed thing guy Inuyasha and I've beaten him up a couple of times, and there was this one guy Koga who pretty much claimed me as his prize and told me that he loved me, I slapped him. It was an accident though. I didn't really think about it. I was surprised that he didn't do anything to me."

"What kind of a sick'o would hurt their girlfriend in order to-"

"He's not my boyfriend! No way in a million years would he be my boyfriend! There's nothing going between me and Koga!"

"Sorry Kagome. So is that the same for this Inuyasha? I remember you mentioning his name before. You mistook him for me, remember?"

"Oh" Kagome started to blush. "Well, Inuyasha and I are…kind of seeing each other. I mean, he's not my boyfriend or anything, but…well…I don't know what quite to say about Inuyasha. He's such a total jerk, and when any other guy looks at me, he's ready to kill them! The worst thing about it is the fact that he's still hung up about his last girlfriend. He still loves her, so I'm thinking he wants us both, which is not going to happen! He can only have one of us, and he chose her over me and yet, he's still a jealous jerk!"

Ikuto cocked an eyebrow. "Wow. I guess none of that was really any of my business. I guess I'm glad I've never been in a situation like that."

"What about your girlfriend? Wasn't her name Lari?" Kagome didn't mean to sound annoyed, but she did. She began thinking 'If this is Inuyasha's reincarnation, then he's most likely still in love with Lari.'

"Well" he said uncomfortable "Lari and I were dating for three months, and she was always somewhat uncomfortable with me on some level, which I didn't know until a week or two ago. I guess I knew she was uncomfortable, but I wasn't sure until recently. We just had problems with each other. Deep down, I knew she wasn't for me. She just couldn't accept me for who I was."

Kagome realized that he had pain in his eyes. She could tell that he didn't really love Lari, and he was really over her. Kagome didn't have anything to worry about as far as Ikuto liking Lari. There was something else that bothered him as they were talking about his girlfriend.

"Ikuto, why exactly why was she uncomfortable with you?"

Ikuto had a look of shock spring to his face instantly. "Uh…are you joking?" 'She doesn't know? How can she not know? What's wrong with her? She didn't notice.' "Kagome, my mother was African American."

Kagome's eyes widened and then she got a really good look at his face. She did notice that his skin color was darker than Suno and everyone else in the room. His nose was a little wider than his brother's too. "Oh, well I see it now. Why did that bother her?"

Ikuto was taken back by that question. "What do you mean? A lot of people have problems because…"

"What, because you're half black and half Japanese people aren't supposed to like you? What's wrong with being different?"

"Uh…" Ikuto hung his head down, a little embarrassed. 'She doesn't care. She honestly doesn't care. She really doesn't care, but…everyone cares! Everyone I've ever met except my parents have cared. I don't understand.' "I'm going to go sit down." With those words, their dance came to a stop and he walked over to his table, sitting on the end. Kagome realized that he was getting some negative looks from some people in the room.

'Poor Ikuto, I had no idea he's been disapproved of by racist people, all because his mother was African American.'

Ikuto didn't do much talking after Kagome brought up a touchy subject. Kagome would mention some different subjects to him, but he didn't really want to talk anymore. Ikuto quickly decided to take Kagome home once they had eaten.

When they pulled up to Kagome's home, she wanted to make him feel better about everything, but she didn't know what to say. He didn't have a demon side and she could probably communicate with him faster than what it took Inuyasha, but she didn't know what quite to say with him. She couldn't understand why anyone would treat him cruelly.

"Ikuto-"

"Night Kagome."

Kagome sighed and stepped out of his red Ferrari. "Thanks for everything Ikuto. I really appreciate everything."

"Well, I'm glad that you could fill in. It's too bad that you fell and took me down with you, but it's alright." He smiled. "I'll see you around, Kagome."

"Yeah. I'll see you."

He took his car out of park and road away, not looking back at her. He was still concentrating about what she said earlier. 'Why? I don't understand. She's the only girl who's ever been like that.'

When Kagome walked into her room, There was a visitor there, sleeping on her bed. 'Inuyasha? He's sleeping on my bed. Has he been in my time this whole day?' "Inuyasha" she said gently, while sitting down on her bed with Inuyasha.

Inuyasha quickly got up. "Kagome?" For someone who was just sleeping, he certainly was full of energy. "When did you get back?"

"Just now. I…Ikuto brought me home."

Inuyasha grunted. "Him huh? That stupid boy Ikuto brought you home? Well, we can go search for the jewel shards tomorrow."

"Yeah, but don't call Ikuto stupid Inuyasha. He's a friend of mine, and I really like him…as a friend."

Inuyasha growled. "Hmph! Whatever!"

Kagome could feel the blood rushing through her body as she began to get angry. "I said he's my friend Inuyasha! He needed my help, so I helped him! If you have a problem with him, then just say so!"

Inuyasha got right up to her face and replied "I have a problem!"

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "You don't even know anything about him. He's a good boy, and there's nothing going on between the two of us. Now get out of my room so I can go to sleep!"

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "I'm not going anywhere. I can't let you out of my sight. You might lie to me again and go off with this Ikuto boy and leave. We have jewel shards to find Kagome, and he's not slowing me down. We've got to stop Naraku. Did you forget that while you where out with your man?"

"He's not my 'man!' He's just a really good guy that I happen to like…" Kagome began to blush, but quickly recovered "as a friend! Just as a friend Inuyasha. Of course I haven't forgotten what I need to do. I'm the only one who can see the jewel, so I can't abandon you."

"Yeah, especially since you broke it!"

"That was an accident, and I've been trying to fix it Inuyasha, now get out my room! You don't have to leave the house, but you sure aren't sleeping in my room!"

Inuyasha felt uneasy. He didn't care about sleeping in the same room with her. He just wanted to be with her. He hadn't spent much time with her since Ikuto came into the picture. It hadn't been long that she was gone, but it was enough for his heart to rip into two. He just needed to be near her, to put it back together again. "Kagome" he stated quietly, almost a whisper "do you love him?"

Kagome was shocked that he asked that question, and hesitated. "What? No, of course not! I've only known him for a little bit. Why would I-"

Inuyasha actually looked scared. He was scared of losing something very important to him. He didn't want Kagome to leave his time, and with her meeting someone in her own time, he couldn't really compete. He could only hope to keep her by his side.

"Inuyasha" Kagome quieted her tone of voice "Inuyasha, you know how I feel about you. I know how you feel about me." She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not as good as the original, apparently."

"Ka-"

"It's okay Inuyasha. You chose Kikyo over me. It hurts, but I already told you this before; I want to be by your side." She smiled gently. "I just want to be by your side, and that's where I'll stay."

Inuyasha didn't say anything. He felt good that he wasn't going to leave him for Ikuto, but he did feel a slight bit a guilt for leaving Kagome all by her lonesome. 'This guy is really making things hard on me. Man, and I thought Koga was a problem. Sure he saved her life, one time! I've saved her plenty of times. He's not as strong as me, or fast as me, and he most likely doesn't have a sword like mine! He's not as good as me.'

"Good night, Inuyasha."

She sounded to fragile, as if she was about to break. Her eyes were portals into her heart, and Inuyasha could see right into them. He knew the truth about how she felt, and was more than ever, threatened. "Good night Kagome."

Inuyasha felt restless as he left his room. The only emotion he could feel was rage-rage towards this "Ikuto." He was supposedly the reincarnation of himself, but that didn't make Inuyasha feel any better. 'How could she feel that way about him? How could she?'

When Inuyasha walked into Sota's room, he was growling like an actual dog, ready to attack at any moment. He was being a selfish, jealous pig, but he didn't think that way. He only could think about doing to Ikuto, what he wanted to do to Koga since the first time he laid eyes on him, but especially when he kidnapped his Kagome. 'If I ever see this guy, I'll-'

"Why are you so angry?" asked Sota as he climbed into his head.

"I'm not angry, kid!"

Sota shrugged his shoulders and put his blanket over him. "Night Inuyasha."

Inuyasha was still grumbling over Ikuto.

Feudal Era

"Inuyasha" said Kagome while they were leaving the villiage that Kikyo once lived in. "Are you still mad because of yesterday?"

Inuyasha didn't reply.

"He seems really upset" said Shippo. "Did Kagome dump him?"

Inuyasha grunted and picked up Shippo by his small head. "You little pest! I'll teach you to stay out of my business!" Inuyasha spun Shippo around and threw him as far as he could.

"Inuyasha sit!" yelled Kagome angrily. "You don't have to take your jealously out on Shippo. I don't know why you're even upset, Inuyasha! I told you that we were just friends!"

"So Kagome" asked Sango "what is this boy like?"

Kagome began to blush. "Well, he looks like Inuyasha, except for a couple of features, he's kind to me, he really doesn't like his brother, and he's rich and famous."

"Wow, sounds perfect." said Sango.

Inuyasha rose out of his ditch. "He is not! He's stupid!"

"Sit boy!"

"Ah!"

Miroku shook his head. "Poor Inuyasha. Anyway" he said to Kagome "have they met?"

"Yeah right" said Kagome with a chuckle. "Why should I let them meet? Inuyasha would just start a fight. You know how he is. He wants to kill Koga when I told him that nothing was going on between the two of us. At least Koga's a demon. Ikuto couldn't fight against Inuyasha and live."

Inuyasha rose back up. "I'm sick of talking about this stupid human! We have more important things to do rather than talk about things in her time. We've got to stop Naraku." Inuyahsa began walking faster than the three of them, wanting to get away from them.

"Boy, he's angry" stated Sango.

"I knew this sort of thing would happen." Miroku said shaking his head, thinking it was a shame how things were playing out.

"Kagome" asked Sango "how do you feel about this boy?"

Kagome blushed a little. "He's just a friend Sango. I'm just very glad I met him, that's all."

"And he's even got a brother" Miroku stated.

"Half...brother." Kagome said.

"They're more alike than what I thought." Miroku studied how Inuyasha was walking. He was walking away as fast as he could while stomping on his way. 'By the way things are playing out, Kagome may just choose Ikuto over Inuyasha.'

Two hours later, Inuyasha still wasn't talking to anyone, but he wasn't trying to seperate himself from the others. Shippo was still in pain from his landing, but he tried his best not to let it show, but he would complain about Inuyasha every few minutes.

'This is rediculous' thought Kagome. 'He's acting like he didn't choose Kikyo over me. He acts like we're together and I'm cheating on him. I know I said I want to be by his side, but that doesn't mean I can't see anyone' she blushed 'not that I would want to see Ikuto!' She became fustrated. 'I wonder...' "Hey, is that Kikyo?" Kagome yelled shocked, pointing east.

Inuyasha's heart jumped and he quickly looked to where she was pointing.

"Sit!"

"Ahh!"

Kagome began to shake. 'That jerk! He would have picked up on her scent if she was near, but no! All someone has to do is say her name and he becomes a love sick idiotic puppy!' Kagome stepped on top of Inuyasha and continued walking on, not looking back.

"I wonder what that was for" said Shippo, looking at the twitching Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha's so naive." Miroku said.

"He needs to make a choice" added Sango.

'Of course I wouldn't choose Ikuto over Inuyasha' thought Kagome 'I can only do sit to Inuyasha.' A smile crept on her face. 'I'd take that over anything in the whole entire universe.'
