InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love Can Do That to Ya, Kid ❯ A Visit From a Dead Miko ( Chapter 4 )

Okay, well FireStorm 777 is BACK. Again… I don't own InuYasha, that honor belongs only to the great Rumiko Takahashi… Not me. S'probably a good thing… It would end up as an anime about a lonely 15-year-old American and her Japanese inu youkai boyfriend… See what I mean? Well… In case you haven't figured it out already… here comes chapter four of "Love Can Do That to Ya, Kid". Enjoy.

A Visit from a Dead Miko

Kagome picked up the tiny purple bottle and sniffed at the liquid inside. I can't believe Kaede thinks InuYasha LIKES me. He's made it perfectly clear on more than one occasion that I am nothing but a shard detector. Once this is all done, he'll forget I ever existed. He'll either become human and have Kikyo or become a full-fledged demon and have his power. I don't fit into any of that and I know it. But still… Kagome sighed. She didn't know what should come after the still. Well, maybe she did, but she was afraid of it. She was afraid to hope that InuYasha loved her as much as she loved him.

With that last painful thought, Kagome silently wept herself into a fitful, nightmare-ridden sleep.

InuYasha was staring upwards and trying hard not to fall asleep. It had been so long since he could calm down, only when Kagome was near did he even feel that he could sleep. Sighing, he crept up to Kagome's sleeping form. Her face was held in a tight position and his sensitive ears picked up the occasional whimper from her throat. His heart twisted as he wondered what sort of dream could be so bad.

Strangely, being near Kagome kept him alert. The strong need to protect her overwhelmed him and he took her hand into his own. His Kagome. When InuYasha clasped her hand, on instinct, hers clasped back. She took comfort from his presence, as he did from hers and, nearly automatically, her tension released and a smile came to her face.

"Oh, InuYasha," she whispered.

His heart stopped. He hadn't known that she was awake. He looked down at the raven-haired girl. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing evenly… she was definitely asleep. She was dreaming of him? He made her smile? A smile crept to his own lips and he decided to sleep after all. He would sense danger coming.

He laid down behind Kagome putting a protective arm around her waist. "Goodnight, my Kagome," he whispered.

Hours later, InuYasha woke up. He sensed a rather familiar presence nearby and hopped up to investigate it. Making sure he had not awakened Kagome, he silently left the hut.

He walked through the woods until he came to that familiar clearing which was the site of the Bone Eaters Well. There stood the person whose aura had brought him here… the person who was the reason he had so desperately not wanted to awaken Kagome… Kikyo.

~End of Chapter Four

InuYasha: You're just going to end this here?

Me: Yep.

InuYasha: But you're just going to write more of this later…

Me: So?

InuYasha: So why not get it all out of the way now?

Me: Because I do not wish to.

InuYasha: Who cares what you want… I think you should end this.

Me: You have no choice.

InuYasha: Who says you do, wench?

Me: I'm the writer, InuYasha… you are but a pawn in my diabolical schemes.

InuYasha: No, I'm your favorite.

Me: Are you really?

InuYasha: Yeah.

Me: Well, that's true, you adorable little hanyou, you.

InuYasha: So I get to help make decisions right?

Me: No.

InuYasha: Why you! WENCH!

Me: Just for that, Kagome is going to get REALLY pissed off at you. You WERE going to get some action…

InuYasha: Please! Noooooooooooooo!

Kagome: Thanks, Kate.

Me: (whispering) He'll still get the action, just not now.

Kagome ::wink:: You got it, boss.

Me: ::wicked laugh:: Dance! Dance my pretties! Dance for me! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

InuYasha and Kagome: ::cower back::

InuYasha: Damn, she can be scary.

Kagome: ::nod::

A/N… I wish I really were a skitzo..
