Aftershock:
Both still captured in the flight of their raw passion, he didn’t even realize that she had removed the jewel. His hands left her wrist and cupped both sides of her face; securing her, while the passion grew. The kiss intensified with their tongues now exploring each others mouths. The one, shy and yielding and the other gently dominating.
Her hands still coated in his blood traced his chest, wary of the wound; she bypassed it until both hands were resting on his heart. His heart, an anchor for her, feeling the steady beat; she heard her own heart in her ears, beating almost in unison with his.
How long had she waited for this? How long has she wanted this? All the pain and shame she felt in seeing him with Kikyo, was it worth it? Did he feel the same?
He had missed her so much during those 3 weeks he did not see her, when she had disappeared one night, after they had shared words, he woke to find her sleeping bag empty of her form, only the kitsune nestled between the plastic warmth. He had followed her lingering sent back to the well and had made to go after her and demand an explanation but HE showed up.
3 Weeks, more like 3 centuries. He needed to hear her soothing voice, fear her angry ‘sits’, feel her warm loving caress, taste her sweet lips. He needed to remind himself of her so that he would never forget, engrave it into his memory forever.
After what seemed like forever, they broke away, Kagome gasping for breath and Inuyasha catching the last taste of her lips, once, twice more.
‘For the last time?’
His human half spoke up.
‘No. For now.’
The youkai half answered.
Kagome, breathing heavily, slowly opened her heavy lids to have a pair of golden-amber pools reflecting all the passion and glory of their past action staring down at her.
“I…….I………um…….”
She tried to speak but couldn’t find the words under his intense gaze. A little embarrassed at her sudden articulated block, a small tinge of red fanned across her cheeks as she looked down at her hands, avoiding his penetrating eyes.
She was brought crashing back to reality when she saw her blood soaked hands that were mindlessly fingering the now pinky-pearl jewel. Her eyes moved to the wound where she had retrieved it from. It looked better, but it needed to be bandaged.
Looking down on her small form, kneeing between his legs he felt a swell of emotion, ebbing his pain, which he was unable to put in to words. He shifted his gaze following hers downward as her bush induced face became covered by her midnight bangs. Then he saw the jewel or the better half that would still have been lodged into his chest, while Naraku laid claim to their half.
‘A switching of the jewel. And I bet that that stupid, mangy wannabe demon didn’t even know he had done it……..stupid asshole the look on his face when he realizes must be better than seeing Sesshoumaru being dragged thought the mud by his balls, naked.’
A small smile crept over his lips as his thoughts turned to the one in front of him:
‘She truly is a cunning creature, to hide my pain in my passion……wow………..’
“Kagome, I -.”
He began but was cut of as she said:
“That needs to be seen too, Ill go get some bandages…”
And without looking at him she slowly got up and made for the door. With that all the passion and fire that was felt between the two disappeared as if it never existed, like the end of a rainbow after a long night of rain.
Before leaving she hesitated at the door, she was going to turn around and give her heart the release it sought but caught herself and exited, leaving a dumbfounded Inuyasha trying to make head of tail of what just happened.
Kagome made her way to the bathroom to locate the first aid kit that was on the upper floor, one of many her family seemed to keep around. In her efforts rummaging through the cupboard, she found the antiseptic lotion along with the small white box with the distinguishable Red Cross that screamed FIRST AID. She set it down on the basin while she leaned against the wall fingering the broken jewel. She felt lightheaded and decided to give herself a few minuets to collect her wondering thoughts and ease her shaking body.
‘What just happened? Okay. I kissed him, I got the jewel and…hang on…hold the phone…I KISSED HIM…wow…’
A small smile crept across her flushed face, her hand came up to touch her lips as her thoughts took another turn:
‘I kissed his lips…his lips…mmmmmmmmm…they taste so good and… WOHOOOOO Earth to Kagome!!!!!! It’s Inuyasha for Pete’s sake. Wait, did he kiss me back? Oooeeee I’m SO confused…’
She let out a small groan and applied pressure to the juncture between her eyes.
‘Damn and now I’m getting a headache…..’
Shaking her head, dismissing the thought altogether, she picked up the first aid box and headed back to her room.
Before entering she hesitated in turning the doorknob:
‘Come on Kagome, get it together. It was just a kiss………..so yeah and don’t forget he still loved Kikyo. YES that’s it he loves…’
Her thoughts were interrupted as the doorknob started to move on its own, the door creaked opened revealing Inuyasha. A worried look adorned his face, standing there in his blood soaked hamaka pants and bare upper chest, one hand clutching the wound and the other coming up to reach for her. He reached her face and ran the back side of his fingers down the side, tracing the frame of her features along the jaw line. She gave into his touch, his caress. She leaned into his hand, while her own came up to feel the caress, making absolutely sure that it was real.
He cocked his head to the side and flashed her a contempt smile. A tear surreptitiously left the corner of her eye and ran down her cheek. He wiped it away with his padded thumb and gently motioned for her to come into the room with a slight tug on her shoulder. She accepted.
Setting himself gently on the bed, Kagome knelt in front of him and began to clean his wounds. She was fully aware of him watching her, taking in her every move. Her vulnerability and familiarity sending him into a relaxed state. His presence allowed her to continue, she felt safe. They sat in an anxiously contempt silence, the one to sacred to say anything before the other, to scared that they would have to explain their previous actions. Both minds were in a state, hers, trying to rationalize her emotions and his, trying to deduce what exactly he should do, still trying to ease his mind into the fact that she was there, right in front of him.
She unpacked all the bandages and ointment and began inspecting the wounds. The one in his chest seemed to be the worst, there were a few gashes on his arms and he had managed to bruise a few ribs, but nothing to serious.
‘Phew, now for the lower half…’
She moved to his hamaka tie and began to unite it. Inuyasha still being him, jumped up at the suggested move and voiced his anxiety.
“HEY…Kagome what the FUCK are you doing? I ….I….”
She cut him off from her position on the floor looking up at his flustering form as he tried to tie the pants back up. Determination laced her voice as she explained herself.
“Inuyasha I need to take a look to see if you have any injuries there…so…so drop em...”
Blushing a newly developed state of red, she continued to give him “the look.” Still gripping his pants, he answered her:
“No way, I am fine…”
“Okay then, explain why your pants are so full of blood?” irritation now evident in her tone, irritation at his childish actions.
‘He’s 200 years old for heaven’s sake!’ her mind rationalized. ‘Even Souta would be more mature than this…’
“I’m healed there really, its fine you-“
With his last statement, she got up and moved towards him, grabbing his hands; she began to wrestle with him to loosen the pants…
“Inuyasha just let me take a look…quite being such a baby…I just wanna make sure that-“
“NO you are not looking in THAT area!!! I SWEAR I’m FINE there!”
At that statement she let go, and moved a few feet away from him, blushing to high heaven, having registered just which ‘area’ he was referring to.
Seeing how embarrassed she was and deciding to take advantage of her vulnerability:
“Shesh Kagome I know you missed me, but isn’t that a bit forward…” he stated with a smirk.
Just as sharp as he was, she over the years had learnt to retaliate with her own edge which she quickly replied with:
“Well Inuyasha I’m not the one embarrassed about that area, is there something that you are ashamed of? Hmmm?”
The tables had turned, putting him right in his place like she had learnt to do after following his Hanyou ass around for 4 years looking for jewel shards. The blush now covering his face as he realized the corner she had backed him into. And he, being Inuyasha, answered with as much pride as this particular situation could give him:
“HELL NO”
Amusement shining in her cerulean depths as she answered:
“Well then, drop the pants…”
She turned away from him to give him a small amount of privacy as he stripped the hamaka pants, leaving him only in his apron.
“Oh, and for the record, I just wanted to inspect you legs you dimwit, not your ‘AREA’ as you call it! There’s nothing there to inspect anyway…”
His mouth fell open in a classic ‘catching flies’ position. Once again she beat him at his own game.
‘Damn she seems to be getting better at this retaliating thing’ his human half spoke up
‘Hmm’ the youkai side agrees.
‘Damn she’s good…’
And along with his mouth, the pants dropped as well.
She did a quick sweep of his legs and found a small gash bleeding rivers down his leg. She cleaned it, yet there seemed to be something lodged in there. Stating the problem, more to herself than to Inuyasha, she came up with a quick solution.
“ There seems to be something wedged in there, what did you do to get that in there, its like a piece of glass or something, I’m gonna need some pliers or tongs or something to dig it out with otherwise we are gonna have a serious case of bleeding Hanyou…”
Confusion crossed his blushed face at her words; he voiced his confusion to her.
“ Hey what are you gonna do? What do you mean wedged in there? What’s a Pli-rs? I have a tongue? (Sticking his tongue out) coub you udse dat?
She looked up at him, she could not help but giggle at his face, ears perked up, attentive eyes, head cocked to the side and his tongue hanging out, he was definitely living up to his demon species.
“No silly, not tongues, tongs, like chopsticks but better.”
Understanding filled his eyes as he let out a very big:
“ OOOOOOHHHHHHH!”
She finished bandaging his wounds, putting love and care into each wrap of the bandage, His mind drifted to the past 3 weeks as he sat there and watched her.
‘I can’t believe that she is alright, alive and smiling, silly girl, she’s always smiling, and if not, then she’s finding something to smile about. I thought she was gone, forever, my world died in that moment, how did she come to mean so much to me… Kikyo was right, destiny has intervened and set a path for us to follow. Kagome…I wont let you go again, I will protect you. Kikyo…I’ve made my choice…”
She rose to return the first aid kit. He grabbed her arm before she had the chance to stand, and pulled her into the warm embrace of his muscular arms. She flustered for a moment, surprise swept across her face. She tried to pull herself free but he held her firm.
‘She’s not getting away again.’
At that thought he pulled her closer, tightening his grip on her, never wanting to let her go.
After a few tense moments of her struggling against his arms, she gave in and he could feel her relax. She leaned against his chest and sighed. As she was about to voice her confusion yet was startled by his voice. His voice held a hushed determination, barely above a whisper.
“Kagome…I…Listen. Please don’t say anything, just hear me out. Kikyo and I...um...Well she’s dead you know and then Naraku…Shit.”
His mind ran a mile a minuet in a crazy effort to just get everything that had happened in the past 3 weeks out. He had it all planned out in his mind but getting it out there was just another hurdle all together for him. Despite this he tried again:
“Kagome I have …you were gone…Naraku found out about our plan and came after the shards and I didn’t…I’m SO sorry but you were gone…you were gone…please don’t leave I didn’t…”
His voice broke with every word, his confidence crumbling with the look in her eyes. Unshed tears filled her cerulean pools as the anxiety to know what happened and the unwanted pain she knew he was going through at her leaving so abruptly caused. At seeing the sadness in her eyes, he silenced himself and brought his head down to hears as his lips crashed against hers in a silenced way of him telling her it will all be alright. He was so lost in himself that he didn’t feel her arms nervously snake around his neck. Her lips molded with his as she let go. Her feelings that she had kept boxed in the back of her mind for so long, all the pain, all the want and need to feel him, to touch him to taste him was poured into that kiss. All her boundaries came crumbling down, all her reason and logic clouded over with the heavy mist of want and need.
‘What are you doing? You stupid, stupid, stupid girl he loves Kikyo, not you. Now you have gone and done it, fucked it up. You have just built that case around you heart and refused to allow him to hurt you and now you are setting yourself up to come crashing down again…….. This time you are in despair, don’t cry out for me……….. ‘
Her logical mind kept screaming to her in hopes that it would dull her need but instead it only heightened it. The other side fought back with vengeance:
‘I know alright, quite with the name calling, geeezz. I don’t care, I have to know, I need to know otherwise…NO I cant go on like that, I have to know to put it behind me, I need to try, I need to take the chance, I need to know if he loves me.’
The argument in her head drove her passion, eager to find the common ground that both sides had been searching for since that day he pushed her down the well and her friends made it blatantly obvious that she had feelings for him.
Consumed by her lips, Inuyasha’s thinking track was completely askew.
He had completely forgotten about Kikyo, Naraku, and the jewel. He let them drift aimlessly to the back of his mind as he felt the burning desire that Kagome was sending him via their lips. Absorbing it all, he started to process what was being played out. Then it hit him like the bloody monorail traveling from Osaka to Tokyo.
‘Shit, she’s actually kissing me, really kissing me,
‘Us’ His youkai half interjected
‘Yes, Kagome is kissing us. She did before, but that could have been from the jewel…WOW…Wait does she really want us, little worthless half-breed, outcast, us?’
At that he pulled back from the kiss, just as her tongue was being accepted into his mouth.
The foreboding feeling hit her hard, almost knocking the wind out of her lungs as she gasped for air. Her mind began its rampage:
‘He doesn’t want me?’
Her mind went into overdrive as both sides ambled about for some conclusion to her actions.
‘I knew it, I KNEW it. I told you so but Noooo, you didn’t listen; now we all have to suffer because you “needed to know”.’
‘Well at least we have an answer’ the other side replied.
“Kagome...” He broke her chain of thought once again. His voice filled with emotion, longing.
“Huh?” More than a slight whisper she responded as she peered into his eyes, searching the intone depths for the explanation, yet she found none, only more questions.
A concerned confusion played across his face as he began to speak:
“Kagome…you…you…” His voice hung in the air like a thick fog as he stumbled to get the words out once again.
At this, all the past 3weeks came flooding back to his mind.
‘How am I going to tell her?’
With this thought he looked away, not willing to meet her gaze for the shame he felt.
Her curiosity was peaked; she was hurt but wanted to know why. So she voiced her concern and caused a part of her to die with the knowledge she was about to gain…….
A/N: Apologies for the cliffy, hope its all keeping you on edge…
Let me know what you think…
Until next time…
“Sup, you own Inuyasha?”
“Na dude, in my dreams” I reply
“We all dream…………..Ice cream.” * Dude looks off into distance*
