InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ My Story: A Human 'Tail' ❯ Dinner! ( Chapter 19 )

My Story: A Human `Tail'

Chapter 17- Dinner!

 

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha

 

A/N: I know guys, the last chapter was exceptionally boring, but it will get more interesting from here! Including this chapter there is about 9 chapters left. So this means they will be longer and to the point. I already have rest of this story figured out and finished in my head; it just needs to make it to paper…or in this case computer….

 

 

“Hello Inuyasha”

 

Everyday after a hard days work, I would go to the shores and meet Inuyasha. we would stay until sundown talking and getting to know each other more and then I would leave to go help Sango with dinner. That has been our routine for the past two weeks.

 

It's been 15 days since Sango's Birth Anniversary and 16 since my encounter with Inuyasha on the shore. And every night when I would walk through the door into Sango's home, she would look at me with a knowing stare and smiled. Not that I understood what she was all knowing about.

 

But yesterday she gave me a brilliant idea and I was going to impose it on him today. Hopefully he will agree.

 

Anyways, forgive me; I am getting caught up in my thoughts again. Smiling at Inuyasha as I greeted him he merrily returned the gesture.

 

“I'm great Kagome, how about you?”

 

“I'm doing just as well as I was doing yesterday” we laughed. This was a little thing we had between us. Every day the greeting was the same, like a tradition….sort of.

 

So we sat and we talked about everything, and nothing. It was easy to talk to him I found, I felt as if I could tell him anything and he would listen. I had to catch my self on many occasions from getting too caught up, and giving away tidbits of my past.

 

With each meeting we played a game of a sort (well not really), He would ask me a question about my self, and in turn he would tell me something. The next day we would switch and I would ask the question.

 

It started out as a simple question, and then it became another ritual between us for when we saw each other. Today is his turn I Believe. So I'll wait for him to ask.

 

So far we have covered most of the basic things like, That He has a brother (obviously, since I met him in person), and he found I once had a brother as well. I never mentioned my sisters. To me I had only one sibling, Souta, and he seemed to be the only one out of them who cared.

 

We talked about our thoughts, dreams, and life. We even covered the fact that this was our hairs natural color.

 

He looks as if he is about to talk, so I'll pay attention to the real world now.

 

Sure enough, he talked.

 

“Ok I've got a question” Ok here it goes “ I understand if you don't wanna answer my question so don't feel pressured into telling me. Tell me if you want…”

 

Ok where is he getting at, he's just rambling

 

“…But I want to know the truth, so please don't lie. What was your childhood like? I don't wanna upset you or bring back memories, but you rarely speak of it and it woul—“

 

I put a finger to his lips to quiet him. I truly felt I could trust him….well not all the way, but I could bare to tell him.

 

“No” I said quietly “ I'll tell you”

 

He looked surprised that I gave in so easily, but gave me a smile that urged me to continue.

 

“Ok First let me get a few things straight. You know how I told you I had a Brother.” He nodded “Well I didn't lie, but I didn't tell the whole truth either”

 

He looked at me quizzically, so I continued

 

“I had a Mother and a father (obviously since I'm here), my mother died when I was born, my father passed just recently. I was telling the truth when I said I had a brother. His name was Souta, and I loved him dearly. What I never mentioned was that Souta wasn't my only sibling. There was five of us all together. Three sisters and one brother to be exact…” I stopped to take a breath, while Inuyasha intercepted the story.

 

“By the fact that you never mentioned them and you talk about them with such disgust, I'm guessing you didn't really get along” I Nod and then continue.

 

“Umhm, well anyways, I don't really come from the city across the sea….” Well I did promise I wouldn't lie. “…I came from a small village of a sort, my familiy among the higher ranks of society. But I was never apart of any of that.”

 

“At first I was just ignored, and disliked. After all, I was born different from all of them, and different is bad. That as well as the fact that I am said to be of blame for my mothers death.”

 

He gave me a sympathetic look and I shake my head.

 

“Don't worry, its hard to miss somebody you've never met. Anyways as I grew older, I was down right hated. And not by just my family, but the towns people too, they turned them against me and I was treated as if I was lower then dirt. Eventually I was Disowned from my family, though every one in the village was told that I ran away to protect their status.” Breathing in I close my eyes

 

“Where did you live then?” Inuyasha asked quietly

 

“I found a secluded area, where nobody would find me. There I spent the rest of my youth, and taught myself how to survive. And don't give me that look, It doesn't bother me anymore. After Years of Dealing with it, I've finally come to terms with it. Plus I wasn't completely alone in this. I had my Brother. He and his best friend Kai were the only ones who even bothered to care. They being older then I, were able to teach me everything I was not able to teach myself.”

 

“So what happened?”

 

I turned … I don't think I could talk about it without emotions coming out. I mean I wouldn't cry for my family, but Souta, Kai, the innocent lives. Now crying, that's something new. You cant cry underwater I don't think, it's a new feeling.

 

Looking up at Inuyasha I answered

 

“I can't….i-it's too hard right now” he nodded understandingly and then did something unexpected.

 

He Hugged me. Then as he held me in his arms he, then whispered into my ear “Thanks for telling me” and we sat in that position in comfortable silence.

 

Finally I broke the silence.

 

“Would you like to have dinner with me and the family?”

 

What it was Sango's idea….though I do think that she did that to see what has had me smiling so much in the past two weeks? Looking at Inuyasha he looked surprised and giggling as he nodded.
