InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Life Debt ❯ Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Sesshomaru was furious. Not only did he just watch his future mate parade around in nothing more then a scrap of material that left nothing to the imagination, he also sat and watched his brother, the one he despised with every fiber of his being, lay his hands all over her. Sesshomaru was fuming, which was made evidentially clear when he walked into the clearing, which he had left his ward and advisor and promptly took the toad looking demons life only to return it later. Sesshomaru now sat and the base of a tall oak attempting to ignore the happy humming of his ward that sat next to him, making intricate headbands out of flowers.

 

 

Sesshomaru's plan was obviously not working. Though he had been meaning to seduce Kagome in to his arms and away from his brother he seemed to be having a lot of trouble with this girl. She was strong willed and vary “in love” with his brother and it was going to take a tad more then he had originally thought. Sesshomaru let out an inaudible sigh as he leaned his head against the oak to think. He could always just mate with her, as his original plan had been, but ounce again he is faced with the small fact that she would probably despise him afterwards. Aha! What about a love spell! No, she's a priestess and part spirit that would never work Sesshomaru felt like he was 50 again his awkward years between maturity and childhood when he was still afraid to talk to women, not that he ever showed it of course. He would continue watching her, taking advantage every second he had alone with her, he would leave her an offering next time he caught her alone to announce his courting of her. Sesshomaru snorted softly, guess we'll see what Inuyasha does about that. Sesshomaru stood suddenly turning on his heel and heading to the west, he had much preparation to do tonight.

 

 

 

“ Rin, Jakken, come” Sesshomaru said his stern voice telling them to come quickly and without contradiction.

 

 

Inuyasha was happy, the night had fallen and with the entire group out of the water Kagome was ounce again halfway decently covered by her “PJs'” as she called them. Inuyasha inhaled smelling the half cooked fresh fish that was now roasting on the fire also smelling the seasoned onions and potatoes that had been stuffed into their gutted bellies. Inuyasha looked at Kagome over the fire thinking of the night that he had seen her by the hot spring, he had known that Sesshomaru had been their he could smell his scent on her, her towel, her surroundings. He had been mad, even going as far as killing many of the surrounding demon just to state his lust for blood, it was not a side he reveled often but sometimes his demon side had to be let out or he would go insane. It hadn't been so bad before but after the tetsiga had been broken it was much harder for him to control it.

 

 

 

“There ready!” Kagome yelled ecstatically making Inuyasha jump out of his thought filled mind and back into the present. Kagome pulled out the stainless steal camping plates that her mother had bought for her and handed them to each person around the campfire and then in turn handed them all fish, setting the last plate on the ground for Kilala. Kagome handed out chopsticks and then with a happy inhale began munching the delectable fish that had been flavored with salt and pepper, a delicacy they did not often enjoy. The surrounding group smiled gently at their young friends excited exclamation as they ate their own share of the food, ounce again Inuyasha began dazing back into his thoughts.

 

 

 

Maybe he should begin courting her officially, would that stop Sesshomaru's advances or only egg him on? Inuyasha was shocked by how much he didn't know of his own brother, of course he never expected to know his brother inside and out but he also never suspected that he would need to. After dropping his empty plate on the ground Inuyasha began scrimmaging through Kagome's bags in search of his favorite food angrily throwing the bag to the side when he was unable to find it. Inuyasha felt a soft tap on his shoulder and turned to find Kagome holding out a cup of ramen to him chopsticks balanced delicately on top on the cup. Inuyasha smiled softly before grabbing the cup rudely from her hand and quickly draining the soup. Kagome smiled softly, she was in a good mood and even Inuyasha's rudeness wasn't going to get her down, that's when Kagome got the shock of her life.

 

 

 

“Thank you” Inuyasha said in a load voice slamming the cup to the ground with a satisfied gasp for air. Everybody looked at the satisfied half-demon with curiosity. Why was he all the sudden being so nice? Was he finally trying to win Kagome's affections, that's have already been won? The curiosity didn't last long before Inuyasha's smile dropped and he glared at the ogling crowd.

 

 

“What?” he said with a deathly cold that clearly stated “leave me alone!”

 

 

“Nothing” they replied in unison quickly turning and staring into the fire awkwardly.

 

 

“Well, it looks like its my turn to do dishes again, I'll go ahead and get started now” Kagome said standing, dusting off her bottom, and then gathering the surrounding dirty dishes to take to the stream and wash. Quickly gathering the dishes and heading for the stream Kagome turned and called to the group.

 

 

“Will one of you please get the soap and sponge for me” before she turned and continued to walk to the river. Inuyasha rose to his feet grabbed the washing gear and jogged after Kagome. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala were ounce again left dumbfounded at the fact that Inuyasha had helped with dishes, even though he had always skipped out on his dish duties before. Something was definably up and they intended on finding out what.

 

 

 

Inuyasha and Kagome now kneeled at the stream Inuyasha volunteered to dry while Kagome cleaned. Kagome was apprehensive, every so often casting a sideward glance in Inuyasha's direction. What in the world is he up to? Kagome thought was she vigorously scrubbed at the plate she had in her hand. Inuyasha, same as Kagome, was also casting sidelong glances at his dishwashing partner. Looking at the soft profile of her pretty face. Inuyasha was thinking of making an courting offering, a demon custom in which you give the female your courting a gift, he wanted to… he just didn't know what to get her. She was so beautiful; what if she thought his gift wasn't good enough? Inuyasha didn't honesty think that Kagome would do something like that but that didn't quell his fear any. Plus he had no possession nor money to get Kagome anything… this was a lost cause, why was he even bothering?

 

 

“Thanks for helping me with the dishes Inuyasha I really appreciate it” Kagome said her soft voice and underline of embarrassment. Why am I so embarrassed? He's just looking at me! He was just staring at me a little while ago when I was in a bikini! Man I'm being stupid. Kagome looked at Inuyasha's slightly blushing face handing him the last of the wet dishes that needed to be dried. After they had finished Kagome staked the dishes and went to lift them only to be stopped by a hand on her shoulder. Kagome turned meeting Inuyasha's soft expression and slowly stood facing him. Inuyasha took a deep breath as if nervous to say anything.

 

 

 

“Kagome…um” Kagome stood stunned. This is the first time she had ever seen Inuyasha stumble over his words when he wasn't in trouble, what was he trying to say?

 

 

 

“I just wanted to say that…um” Inuyasha looked down at his feet unable to bring himself to look into her eyes. He stood hard as stone feeling his face begin to flush deep. God this is humiliating Inuaysha thought as he stood before the love of his life staring at his dirt covered toes. Kagome stood there as flustered as Inuaysha a small blush spreading across her face every second that Inuaysha left those words unsaid. Say it Inuaysha! Say it! Kagome screamed in her mind unable to bring herself to say the words first.

 

“Um…um…I, I, I,” inuyasha looked into Kagome's eyes. Before Kagome knew it she was in Inuyasha's arms his lips slowly falling down to hers. Kagome's eyes slowly slide closed as Inuyasha's lips finally touched hers, slowly exploring the heart shaped rim of her lips with his tentative and inexperienced tongue. Kagome slowly opened her mouth to his, his kiss was different from sesshomarus, sesshomarus full of want hunger experience, and Inuyasha's was small, sweet, and loving. Kagome's arms slowly rose to wrap around Inuyasha's neck as he held her tighter molding her every curve to his muscled body. Their kiss deepened to one of pure passion the tentative innocence of the kiss gone as their tongues danced together. Kagome felt like she was in a dream, her mind a haze as her body stirred with feelings that she had never had before, the pit of her belly started tingling and was traveling to the apex of her thighs making her squirm against his body. Inuyasha let out a small gasp at Kagome's movement against his slightly hardened member causing him to unintentionally break their kiss. Kagome stayed for a second dazed at her reaction to his mind-blowing affections.

 

“Wow” came the simple voiced breath from Kagome as Inuaysha stared as her. Her eyes were still closed as if she was secretly savoring the moment her lips red a pouting, her breathing deep. She looked absolutely stunning. Inuaysha remembered something just then, not really knowing why, but that Miroku had ounce told him that the best thing to do after “kissing a women senseless” was to leave her wanting more. So, stupidly, taking his advice Inuyasha stepped forward landing one more soft kiss on Kagome's mouth and then turned on his heel and left the clearing leaving the dishes to be carried back by Kagome by herself.

 

Kagome stood their stunned her heart beating a million miles a minuet before her mind registered what had happened. Inuyasha give Kagome kiss, Inuaysha blows Kagome mind, Inuyasha just walks away! O' hell no! Kagome did not get murderous thoughts often but at that moment she was going to sit that bastard flat as a pancake. Stopping angrily over to the pile of dishes Kagome bent over to get them huffing all the while.

 

 

Sesshomaru stood seething by the river where he had just witnessed his mate and brother sharing a passionate kiss. He could feel his senses heighten smelling their thick arousal wafting through the air torturing him into murdering his brother. Sesshomaru turned to look at Kagome kneeling form, his sight flickering from red to normal. He WOULD have her and she WOULD love him. Damn it he was NOT going to loose her to that half-breed mutt that he called brother. No, he could not wait for her to come to him. Making up his mind Sesshomaru jumped into the clearing landing so close to Kagome it caused her to fall backwards. Sesshomaru met her fear filled eyes, enjoying the look of terror on her face, yes, you should fear me little one for I hold you in the palm of my hand. Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome by the arm causing her to scream out the one name Sesshomaru didn't want to hear.

 

 

“Inuyasha!” Inuyasha's head whipped around at the sound of his name being screamed, Sango and Miroku came running to Inuyasha far quicker then any person that was at the campsite would be able to. They all began running to the clearing. But Inuyasha was not stupid he knew what he would find.
