InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love In A Library ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Perhaps the way he showed his affection there in front of almost everyone was a bit out there, but I had enjoyed it all the same. He really did see me as his girlfriend, not just some random chick he'd been hanging around with to pass the time away. I happily took this spot in his life, eager to know more about him.

I was still confused, however, about the reason why he wouldn't allow me to know his name. Ever since I met him months ago, he would always refused when I subtly hinted to him talking to me. He is an incredibly clever man and dodged my attempts with a swish of the hand. I knew he wouldn't easily fumble on me as Jakotsu had, and this certain name that started with an S started to get my curiosity rolling.

But, somehow, I couldn't match him up with any personally right name. Maybe I had gotten so used to calling him my book boy. I'm not the one to complain, but what is so secretive that he's trying to hide away? I thought we could be a bit more open to each other…but I know that some things have to be danced around. There are personal scars within that I know I will never reach with him. And that, in itself, is saddening to me.

I glanced out the window, my eyes setting on melting snow in the low orange of the evening. I have never been the best at dates, but it was about the ending of winter now. I could see specks of green edging its way through the white, and secretly was glad that spring was on its way.

I met book boy even before winter started…perhaps in the middle of fall. I've felt that we certainly have gotten far in the ways we knew each other, and I was glad that we had managed to enjoy our regular meetings at the library.

But this week, lately, he told me to stay away from our sanctuary for some time until he wanted me back to meet him there. I had, at first, opposed at this absurd idea until fear had etched its way in my body. Why is that nagging feeling I had when I kept seeing him weeks before coming back? Was something serious about to happen that I did not know?

He seemed to sense that I would ask him about it because he had responded that it was simply that he had a surprise for me, and it'd take a while until he could show me. I put my worrying to the side that moment, but sometimes, in my sleep, it draws out of that secluded part of my mind. At night I always wonder what could happen in every possible dangerous situation.

I'm not a worrier or anything. I just like to think things through. Book boy was the sole person in my life that I could confide deeply in. What if that was taken away from me? What exactly would I do then?

As puzzling as these questions were, I ignored most of them by simply stating that I would get back on with my life. But that was entirely false. I don't know if I wanted to calm myself with this fact, but I couldn't get over him. I felt for him deeply like no other. It was sometimes so frustrating alone to see that I have fallen so weak.

But book boy isn't what made me weak. He made me stronger, once I actually thought about it. He picked me up when I was down, he would shield me with his strong arms from everything in the big mean world…no, I couldn't think of him as a weakness. Because he was my strength. I hoped he would always be my strength.

He didn't disappoint me. A week and a half after he told for me to stay away, he phoned saying to meet him in an hour with Shippou at the library. He said for me to wear something nice and, although it confused me, I was desperately excited to see what he had planned.

“So you have no clue where this guy is taking you?” Naraku asked as I adjusted the nice red dress I was wearing.

“Yep. But you know I trust him. Whatever he has in store will be absolutely wonderful.” Naraku snorted at this.

“Yeah, whatever.”

“You're just sour because you don't have a girlfriend yourself.” He narrowed his eyes at me in a glare, which I returned with a look of my own saying that I had won. He simply shifted on my bed to the side with his arms crossed. “I mean, Naraku, you could get a special someone if you get off your ass every once in a while. And you can stop with the shady business dealings.”

“Who told you about that?” He asked urgently, his eyes widened as he stared at me for the longest of times. I sighed.

“If you think I'm telling mom, I'm not. I've known from a while now. I just worry about you sometimes, that's all.” I could tell he was disappointed that I had figured him out. And, if I wasn't mistaken, he was embarrassed by it also.

“I'm sorry I didn't tell you.” He mumbled. “I didn't want you to worry.” I smiled as I stopped fingering the fabric of my dress to sit down next to him.

“I don't worry about you at all. I have a tough old bastard of a brother. You wouldn't let yourself get in too much trouble.” He frowned.

“I have a feeling you're disappointed with me.” He glanced away from me as he picked with his toes the rug near my bed. I sighed deeply as he waited for my answer.

“I'm not. Somehow I just knew you were, when I would randomly see you. And it didn't help that I found those papers in your room a week ago.” I stopped. “But, no matter what, you're still my brother. And I love and support you in whatever you do. I just want you to be careful.” He smiled as he wrapped his arms around me in a comforting hug. He kissed my cheek before pulling away to see my face.

“Thanks Kags.” He swept a stray piece of hair behind my ear. “And I'm proud of you too, though I never admit it. You turned out good, Kags. Better than I turned out.” I giggled.

“Damn right. Now can you let me up so I can finish getting dressed? I still need to put on some shoes.” He grinned as he tightened his grip on me, causing me to let out a gasp of a squeal.

“Nope. You are my prisoner, dear sister Kagome!” I laughed as he pulled me down on the bed like an annoying brother would.

“Get off me, ya ass! I have to get ready and you're messing up my hair!” He let me go before rolling off the bed, laughing as he hit the floor. I smiled happily at him as I past him a glance on the floor. “Kinda like the good old days, no?” I asked.

“Man, I haven't tackled you like that since you were in high school. You were the only sister I could do that to. Kikyo would have a royal fit.” I nodded as I hopped off my bed, strolling to the mirror that hung above my dresser to try and redo my slightly messed up hair.

“She would bitch and complain until you'd get thrown into a grounding.” She sighed. “That really pissed you off.”

“There's someone else that's been pissing me off lately.” He growled, now suddenly livid with anger as he changed the conversation dramatically.

“And who is that, Naraku?” I asked, never seeing him loathe a person like this before. Whoever he hated, they must've made a huge mistake to make Naraku detest them that much.

“It's that damn Taisho!” He growled ferally, smashing his fist on the bed as he stood up. “Sesshomaru Taisho is the biggest bitch I've ever met in this universe! I saw him at the grocery store earlier.” He gave a bitter laugh. “That bitch had the nerve to go get groceries!”

“Normal people usually do.” I commented as I added the last bit of primping to my hair. “So, why do you hate him so much?”

“He cheated me out. And there's the fact he IS the biggest bitch in the whole WORLD. I didn't even know guys like that did their own groceries, anyways! Might as well have a butler named Jeeves do it!” I laughed.

“Naraku, seeing you worked up over some random guy? That's ridiculous. Now be a good boy and see if Shippou is ready. I'll listen to you complain about this bastard later, all right? Now I'm running late.” He nodded as he started towards the door.

“I will hold you to that promise.” He mumbled. I grinned.

“I know you will. Tomorrow morning we'll talk over breakfast.”

“We better.” He confirmed as he exited the doorway. “Or it'll be your head!” I giggled at this as I grabbed my purse, giving myself a final check. Once I was positive that I looked decent, and maybe slightly elegant, I grabbed the keys off my floor and exited my room.

“Now you be back before ten, young lady. If not, you'll be grounded.” Naraku mocked as I took Shippou's hand once we had our coats.

“I'm so scared.” I mocked back with a wave. “Now behave yourself and don't get into any trouble?” And with a slam of the door, Shippou and I were off to go meet Rin and book boy at the library.

Once we arrived, I parked my car in the small parking lot in back. I was secretly confused as to why book boy picked a Thursday night for me to come and meet him here. I then grinned. He knew tomorrow was my day off! Was that why he was doing it?

I frowned. This could turn out bad, if I'm thinking of what he might want to do. But I know book boy wouldn't pull that on me. And especially not in a library. Whatever we do here will be completely non sexual.

“Honey, why don't you go meet Rin in the children's section? I'm going to look for her daddy now, okay? He told me he had something special planned.” Shippou nodded with a large grin on his lips. He kissed my cheek good bye before running off to meet his playmate.

“Aye, Kagome!” Kaede called, causing me to turn to her. She grinned, the wrinkles on her face rising with her smile. “Come here, child.” I approached her calmly, my coat in my arms.

“Do you know where book boy is? He hasn't told me a single thing! He just told me to meet him here and wear something pretty.”

“Oh, but we know.” Saya laughed, her hoarse voice echoing in the air. She recently caught a sore throat, and her voice was no more but a small rasp. “He told us to tell you where to go. We closed the library down just for you two tonight.” My eyes widened as they grinned at me in harmony.

“He couldn't have.” I mumbled.

“I know it doesn't sound like something very special.” I froze as his silky voice caressed my ears. “But I thought you'd enjoy it.”

“So ye decided to show yer face?” Kaede asked, taking her coat with a smile.

“We'll be off!” Saya said happily. “Rin and Shippou are being taken care of by Jakotsu in the children's section. When you're finished, use the key we gave you.” Before I could even stutter out to make any one of them explain, they were gone out the doors in a flash. I looked at him to see he was wearing some nice clothes, black clothes. Maybe he secretly knew how much I liked black on him. It just contrasted so nicely with his hair.

“Surprised?” He asked with a smirk. When I didn't reply, he took a step closer. “Hmm, seems so.” He placed a kiss on my lips, one that I certainly felt, yet did not bother to respond to. The whole idea that he had closed down the library just so we could have alone time was surprising to me. And, not to mention, a bit odd. “Come, my dear.” He chuckled gently as he placed his arm around my shoulders, pulling me along to wherever he destined to take me. “We can't have you standing here all night.”

“H-How did you…why…why am I wearing a dress?” I asked, rather stupidly. He chuckled again, only a bit louder this time.

“Because I told you to dress up. A dress was all your decision, my Kagome. Now come. We have dinner waiting for us.” Now this made my confusion triple in height. Dinner? How could we have dinner at a library? What the hell was he doing, for God's sake?

“Dinner?” I questioned. “We're in a library.” His smirk turned into a soft grin as he pulled me around the corner.

“Exactly.” Though this didn't make sense, my breath was drawn away as I saw a table covered with a silky red tablecloth. The settings were very precise and neat with a small candle in the middle of the table.

“But we're in a library.” I said, gathering my wits. “You don't eat in a library like this.”

“It's nice to break the rules sometimes. Come, sit down.” He guided me with a soft hand on my back. I remained confused throughout this gesture until he sat me down in my seat.

“We're in a library.” I repeated. “You don't eat in a library this elegantly. It's common sense.” This only seemed to fuel his amusement as he sat down.

“And, I will repeat, it is okay for rules to be broken. Why, my dear? Are you going to turn down the wonderful meal I made for you?” I broke my confusion with a pleasant smile.

“Of course not. I'm just…surprised, I guess.” I paused. “And I'm quite impressed. But why did you have me not come here all week?” He raised an eyebrow before deliberately ignoring my question.

“I thought it would be a nice vacation for you.” His eyes twinkled. “I'd want to see you even more after not seeing you for a week.” I blushed slightly as I looked at the dish in the table, covered by a shiny metal top with a handle.

“What did you make?” He smirked as he lifted the dish so I could view it, getting a whiff of the sinful aroma of food. I glared playfully at what I saw before turning my gaze up to him. “You are such a show off!” He grinned.

“The salmon that you ending up burning. I thought it was perfect for the occasion.” My glare soon turned into a smile as laughter erupted from my lips. As I giggled he served me before taking some himself. “You didn't eat before you came, did you?” He asked, amusement lacing his voice thickly.

“What if I said I did?” He sighed.

“My plans would be ruined. Because, you see, I plan to have you fed before I smother you senseless.” I giggled a bit after this too as he then showed me the bottle of wine he had brought.

“I thought you said you didn't drink alcohol!” I cried in astonishment as I clearly remember him declining the drink I had offered him when he came over to my apartment.

“Why, did I say this was alcohol?” He poured the deep purple liquid into my glass. I glanced at it with a look of suspicion before I took the glass from his outstretched hand, placing it to my lips to take a drink. It was sour and sparkly. It took me a few moments to register the flavor in my mind before it came in flashing lights.

“You brought sparkling grape juice?” I cried with a small giggle. He smiled at me before pouring his own glass.

“I thought it'd amuse you.” I smiled.

“You're amusing me very well so far. And besides, this looks delicious.” Book boy paused as I took the fork that was placed beside me to take a bite of the steaming appetizing fish on my plate. Before I placed it to my lips, I looked at him confused. “What?”

“You fed Shippou, didn't you? I'd hate to have him starving while you are having your full.” I scowled at him, a giggle shining in my eyes.

“What kind of mother would I be?” I asked. “I'm not my sister, you know?” He smiled back in response before joining me in our meal. I realized, with food like this, he ate rather elegantly. He did have the air of sophisication about him, and I should have known that he had polite table manners, but the way his hand glided from the plate to his lips in such a fluid motion made me almost speechless. Someone this graceful couldn't be dating a woman like me, could they?

“Did you cook this yourself?” I asked as we advanced to the dessert. “It's absolutely fabulous! Book boy, I never knew you cooked.” He lips formed a smug smirk, obviously lavishing in my praise.

“I worked on this just for you. And don't doubt a man can't cook. Because, may I say, we have fine culinary skills.” I nodded.

“I'll never doubt you again. So, what's for dessert?” I asked as I placed my napkin by the table, looking up at him. The candle hit him just right, giving a soft glow to his face. His glasses shined dully with his hair, the beautiful natural silver it was. He had told me recently that he didn't dye it. And, as I found that awfully strange, I thought it made him who he was.

“I was hoping you could be my dessert.” I blushed slightly.

“I'm simply too sweet.” I chimed with a pretty giggle. “But you're even sweeter. This night has been amazing.” He seemed to enjoy that he had pleased me, for that spark in his eye twinkled even more.

“You think its over?” I grinned at the lecherous gleam he had in his eyes. I knew he was expecting a heavy lip lock session—honestly, I've been waiting for one too. Each time we tried in the past, either a book falling off its shelf, a person walking a few aisles down, or maybe even some children always interrupted us. It had been funny the first time and we laughed it off, but recently its been getting annoying. I want some special time with my book boy, and perhaps tonight was the night we could finally be alone. Together.

This sent off a whole new line of thoughts. I had never really been alone with book boy before. Shippou and Rin were with us at my place, and there are people in the library besides us. But, now, we were alone in an empty library and I didn't know where he wanted to go with this. Though, I doubt I would stop him if he tried. I'd probably egg him on.

“Well, no.” I felt the heat spread across my face. “And if there's no dessert, that's fine enough with me too.”

“But there is.” He corrected as he stood up, coming to my chair. “I said you would be my dessert.” I stood up as he took my hands in his. He kissed my fingertips gently with a smile on his lips.

“I'd like my dessert minty fresh.” I commented, causing him to grin. I bent over, knowing that he was probably having a good time watching me, and dug into my purse. I pulled out my Eclipse mint box, taking one from the case. I popped one into my mouth before I placed another in his. He had bit my finger playfully when I had tried to pull away, and right then I knew he would want to play rough. He had his chance tonight. And maybe I wanted to play rough too.

“Satisfied?” He asked as he pulled me to him, his hands at my hips.

“Quite.” Almost immediately his lips were placed harshly over mine. The kisses we had in the past, no matter how fiery they might have seemed, were weak. This had brought a new heightened sensation of passion as it leaked through me. How could he get me with just one kiss? He did have the right attributes, but one kiss?

His hand stroked my hip teasingly as our bodies mended together as we stood. I wrapped my arms firmly around his neck as he held me in place. I was a bit afraid I would waver from my position, for I could feel my knees about to buckle, but I stayed where I stood as I returned the scorching kiss he was giving me. I must have surprised him with so much passion I put forth. I swore I heard something relevant of a moan from him, but I couldn't be sure. And if he did, it was miniscule and muffled by our tongues.

I could feel the heat pooling at the pit of my stomach as he pressed me against a wall of shelves. I heard a few books fall off their stands as he ravaged my mouth hungrily.

“Oh…” I mumbled as I panted for my breath once he found that I had needed air to breathe. He even conjured a slight pant as we stared into each other's eyes for the longest of times.

“You make me crazy.” He mumbled. “Woman, what have you done to bewitch me like you have?” I licked my slightly bruised lips as I looked from his eyes to the side before back to his eyes once more. Before I could respond to his question, he placed his lips back over mine. The next time we pulled away, I found my chance to give my honest response.

“I don't know.” I responded truthfully in my lack of breath. “But…I…you did the same.” I gulped after a moment of silence. “You…I…me…I love you.” I watched as his eyes widened a fraction. No one would have noticed this movement if you didn't know him too well. I nodded, as he was about to say something. “I've loved you ever since I met you.” My blushed burned throughout my body as he stood lingering above me, his hands still at my hips as I was pressed against the shelf. I ignored the bothersome ledge on my back to see what he thought of me.

I was surprised, to say the least, when he nuzzled his nose at my neck, trailing kisses to my jaw. I held my breath as he tugged and nipped at my skin before blowing teasingly to the inside of the tender flesh of my right ear. I shivered at the sensual act before he began to speak.

“Hmm…Kagome, I've known.” I could feel his smile as he licked my neck. “You say you love me?” He asked before running his soft fingertips along my thigh in a very arousing manner. “I can see it in your eyes, my love.” I gasped in shock and pleasure as his hot tongue ran against my collarbone before placing a tender kiss on the raw red skin. “It's in my eyes as well.” He raised his lips to mine in a sweet savoring kiss. I pressed tightly against my love before showering him with kisses of my own.

I first kissed his forehead before trailing my lips to his eyelids. I kissed his nose before tasting his neck. I could feel his pulse quicken as I took my time exploring his skin. I relished in the moment that I made him weak to his knees. I wasn't the one who was about to completely fall over this time.

I had been surprised when he grabbed me away from his neck, a playful growl escaping his lips as we exchanged one of the same look. He was making me crazy and flushed with desire, and I could tell certainly that he hadn't been excluded from our moment.

“Kagome…” He murmured lustfully, his eyes foggy with love and adoration for me as he inched us closer from the shelf to the floor.

“I love you.” I murmured as his hands glided along my sides. “Do it. Now.” Though I was never one to give certain commands, this one had clearly proved itself worthy as he pressed roughly against my lips. His hand wandered to my back as the other played with my thigh, drawing circles at the sensitive skin. I gasped as I felt him tug on the pesky zipper, slowly making its way down to my lower back. I could feel the clothing be removed from me, and I did nothing about it. At most, I absolutely welcomed his touch. His caress. His kiss.

As our bodies had conjoined, I didn't think of any types of worries. Because it felt absolutely right. I knew right from the start that book boy would be the one. And this only proved it. No one had ever treated me this gently, this kindly. as we made love that night.

But this didn't change where we stood. We still had a rift between us, no matter how close our bodies were physically. And, no matter what, I was determined to solve the mystery that was my book boy. But, for now, I let it rest.

Wa ha ha, steamy Kag/Sess action in this one. But I didn't get completely in detail, since I had rated this teen. And, besides, I didn't feel like writing it now. But I thought this was sufficent. And steamy. Heh, I love those two kids!

Don't think its over yet! I thought it kinda had that final thing goin', but I tried to make it flow as best as I could. And I'm sorry it's short and kinda fast...though, once I really look back to it, it flows all right. I don't know. You tell me how you liked it.

Once again, thank you reviewers! I love your long reviews, so much fun to read! Well, stay tuned. There will certainly be some catchy stuff later on.
