InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Nothing is as simple as it looks ❯ chapter vii ( Chapter 7 )

DISCLAIMER: I did not come up with any of the Inuyasha characters, only Kami knows how they've come into the possession of Rumiko Takahashi. I also do not own “You make me smile” by Blue October or the horrible nicknames Rin comes up with…maybe a select few will be made by me but most of them I got of other fanfics…but I really don't know where they originated from..hmmmm…well anyway.. Now on with the storie!!!

 

Chapter 7

 

“W-what??” She stuttered. She looked away blushing madly, why did she always stutter around him? When had this guy have such an effect on her? She didn't understand it.

 

“You know, since you're my girlfr-” He started.

 

“Woah, hold up. Like I said before, when did I agree to be your girlfriend? Besides, I don't have time to be going on dates, with an infuriating asshole like you no less!” She said frustrated. Why couldn't he just leave her alone?

 

“Oh? But you have lots of time for that nasty wolf, don't you? Is that it? Looking for a full demon to protect you instead of someone like me? Am I not good enough for you, Kagome?” He growled.

 

She stared at him for a few minutes with disbelief flashing through her eyes. Did he honestly think she liked the attention Kouga constantly gave her? How dare he, how dare he assume how she felt, especially after what happened at the school. “ARE YOU INSANE!” She screamed at him. `I definitely had enough of his ignorance!' She thought angrily. `Count to 10, Kagome, count to 10.' Inhaling a calming breath, she stated calmly, “I really don't know why you're accusing me of such things, let alone imply that I actually like Kouga. You of all people know about my discomfort around him. So stop being an arrogant, pig-headed, stubborn, jealous, jerk.” She smiled, satisfied that shut him up. Unfortunately for only a few seconds, then all hell broke loose.

 

“JEALOUS?! YOU'RE SAYING I'M JEALOUS???!! OH THIS IS TOO MUCH, WHY THE HELL WOULD I BE JEALOUS OF THAT WOLF?!” He yelled angrily.

 

Kagome smirked, knowing she got a rise out of him and decided to push his buttons a little more. He looked so cute when he was angry. “Oh, really, you're not jealous of him? Maybe I should take him up on his offer then, hmmm? Just so I can see that handsome face of yours turn as red as a tomato.” Laughing quietly to herself, she got out of the car before he could stop her.

 

Silently cursing, Inuyasha hurriedly got out of the car and caught her arm before she could go any further. Turning her around, he looked in her eyes with a serious expression masking his boyish features, causing Kagome to gasp. `He looks so…angry.' She thought.

 

“Listen to me, Kagome. You're mine. Whether you like it or not, I really don't give a fuck. But if I find out that, that bastard comes near you again…I won't be responsible for my actions.” He whispered dangerously, his grip tightening on her arm but not enough to hurt her. He was so intent on her surprised eyes that he almost missed the slight change in her scent. `She's…turned on?!' To say that Inuyasha was surprised was an understatement. He couldn't believe that his innocent Kagome would like him talking to her like that.

 

`Oh my god, why do I feel so turned on. Ahhh, and what's with that hungry look he's giving me.'

 

“I-Inuyasha? You ok? I was just joking alright, you know, ha ha funny.” She smiled weakly. When he continued to stare at her with that same predatory look in his eyes, she began to feel nervous. Taking a tentative step back, she noticed with every step she took back, he would take one forward. `This feels awfully familiar…' When she hit her back against the door of his car, she realized it, `Damn, not this again. I need to stop getting myself in these situations.' Before she even had time to blink, he was pressed up against her, hands on either side of her head as he smashed his lips against hers. With no warning, his tongue slipped passed her lips and started coaxing her own tongue to come out to play. Kagome was so lost that she didn't even care anymore that they were out in public, in front of her shrine house no less.

 

`She feels so warm.' He thought. `Her scent is driving me insane!'

 

She didn't even notice when Inuyasha decided that their position wasn't satisfying enough, and had her legs wrapped around his waist in seconds, his lips still locked to hers. But she did realize it when he started to grind into her. `Oh My Kami! We're in a public place and we're grinding each other like two dogs in heat!' With a lot of effort she finally managed to unhook herself from him and put some distance between them. Her breaths were still coming in small pants and her blush seemed to last forever.

 

Looking up, she locked gazes with him, noticing the lust and longing in his eyes. `But he doesn't care for me, not like that anyway. All he wants is sex.' Sighing she turned around and got ready to leave, when she heard him call out to her.

 

“Kagome, wait. I-I-” Damn it. Why couldn't he just say it? “Look,” he began. “I know what you're thinking, that I'm just some big pervert who just wants sex, right?” Seeing the surprised look on her face, he knew he had guessed right. `Thank Kami.' “But I really want to get to know you,” he continued. “Can you please give us a chance?”

 

`I guess that's the closest you get to an apology from a guy like Inuyasha.' She mentally rolled her eyes. Looking at his body language she couldn't help but giggle. `Awwww. He looks like a whipped puppy.' Not realizing how close to the truth that really was. That's when she noticed his questioning gaze because of her quiet giggling, she cleared her throat.

 

“Alright, but you only got one chance. No more. Once you blow it, that's it. And no body contact.” She stated seriously.

 

“You mean no hugs?” he questioned innocently.

 

“Well I guess you coul-”

 

“No holding hands?”

 

“Well-”

 

“No kisses?” he whispered in her ear. When had he gotten so close?

 

Shaking her head, she pushed him away. “Look one date, convince me you are boyfriend material, you might get a second date. Blow it, well bye bye doggy.”

 

“Ouch.”

 

“Yeah, so pick me up at 7:00. Don't be late because if you are, oh well.” She turned around for the final time that day and successfully got to walk up those kami

forsaken stairs.

 

“Oh don't worry, Kagome. The last thing I would want to do is to keep you waiting.” He grinned.

 

~OoOoOoOoOoO~

 

The gentle wind breezed past her flawless features in a loving caress as she watched the sunset in the horizon. `Peaceful, too bad it's anything but what I am.' She sighed defeated.

 

Clawed fingers reached into her hair as she pulled out one of the feathers that decorated her nicely placed bun. Tossing it in front of her it transformed into a larger size than what it appeared to be, able to hold three people now. She climbed aboard, dreading her meeting with her master. What had she done to get into this mess? `It's my entire fault.' She thought, sadly.

 

*flashback*

 

 

“I'm sorry but there's nothing else we can do for your sister.” The doctor looked towards the young youkai sadly. He watched her young, hopeful eyes disperse and went dull. Her eyes began to glass over with unshed tears. “We've done all we could for her, I truly am sorry. She has only a little time left, you should use that time wisely.” He told her, his own eyes starting to tear up.

 

The young girl that was currently dying had been in and out of the hospital for the past two years now and they still could find nothing wrong. It was strange how all the symptoms she had come up to a dead end. Her eyes full of fear during the day to her sleepless nights, screams of horror every time she did get some sleep. At first the doctors monitoring her thought it was psychological. How wrong they were. One morning all they heard were shattering screams, blood-stained sheets, and endless gashes all over her body. The screaming stopped when they entered the room, and all they saw was the young girl; white as a sheet, deep gashes all over her arms and legs, a gruesome hole in her left shoulder blade, her black hair matted in blood. The doctors rushed in and did whatever they could, but it was too late. She lost too much blood; it wouldn't be long until she passed on to the next world, which has brought Kagura to where she was currently in the present.

 

Standing beside her younger sister's bed, she watched on as her breaths became shallower and shallower. Her heartbeat started to slow and Kagura, no matter how strong she made herself out to be, sobbed for the first time in her life. The ten year old girl that she practically raised herself because their mother, if you can even call her that, left them to fend for themselves. In the end, Kagura had failed to protect what was most precious to her.

 

“Baby sister, I would do anything to bring you back.” Kagura whispered softly.

 

“Would you, Kagura?”

 

“What?” Was she hearing things?

 

Chuckling could be heard throughout the room, successfully creeping Kagura out. “Would you, Kagura, do anything to bring your precious sister back?” There it was again, that scary, menacing voice. Who was that?

 

“Who are you? Show yourself!” She demanded.

 

“My, my, my, don't we have a temper.” The voice taunted. “Now where was I…oh yes, how `bout I give you a proposition.” As the voice said this, the owner made himself known. Stepping out of the shadows, his long wavy black hair was kept back in a low ponytail as his body was adorned in an all white business suit. How he went unnoticed in that she didn't know. His face was still masked by the shadows, which made his appearance even creepier.

 

“Who are you?” she finally asked.

 

“Do you want your sister to live?” he questioned back.

 

“Yes.” She answered without hesitation.

 

“Are you willing to do anything? Would you give up anything for her?”

 

“Yes, of course, I would do anything to see her alive again.”

 

“Once you've made your decision, you can't go back. I suggest you choose wisely.”

 

“I am a woman of my word.”

 

“Then your wish shall be granted.” And just like that, the wounds on her sister healed themselves, leaving no scar. Her heartbeat increased to a healthy state and her breathing started to regulate again.

 

Kagura was so overjoyed her sister was alive she failed to notice the evil smirk on the mysterious man's face. She didn't even notice the change in her sister's scent or the way her midnight black hair slowly changed to white. It wasn't until his voice interrupted her happiness was when she finally realized and looking towards her sister now, her eyes held a blank stare; as if she was seeing right through her.

 

Stepping away from the girl she once called sister, she looked at the menacing man before her. “YOU BASTARD! What have you done to my sister?!” She glared at him.

 

“Why, I have done simply what you've asked of me. I gave her life back, although she is soulless.” He pretended to say the last part thoughtfully, a hand on his chin. Seeing her surprised look made him smirk, “Now, I would like you're end of the bargain.”

 

“W-What?!”

 

“Oh, don't tell me you have forgotten already? Shame on you, Kagura, I thought you were a woman of your word? Anways, a deal was a deal.”

 

And without any warning, a tentacle shot out and stabbed Kagura in the chest. She gasped, blood splurging out of her mouth and trickled down her chin to her neck. When the tentacle retracted, without anything to grasp onto, Kagura fell to her knees, clutching her chest. Pulling her hand away she almost fainted at the sight of her own blood.

 

Th-thump. Th-thump. Th-thump.

 

`What's that sound?' she thought faintly. Then it clicked. `B-but it can't be! I'd be dead!'

 

Chuckling was all she heard and it made her shudder. He walked up to her and held her chin to keep her from looking away. Blood red eyes stared into her own ruby ones. `Who is this man?' If it wasn't for his sadistic smile and his hand that, quite literally, held her heart, she would have thought him quite handsome. He chuckled once more and gave her a sickening smirk causing her to mentally gag.

 

“Kagura, Kagura, Kagura. Did you honestly think I would let you off that easy?” He paused in his short speech to quietly chuckle at her. “You foolish woman, what easier way to keep my slave in check when I have her heart in the palm of my hand.”

 

“You sick BASTARD” she screamed.

 

“Ah, Ah, Ah, Kagura, you should watch your language around your master.” He mockingly scolded her. “Oh, in case you're wondering, I'll take very good care of your little sister too. What better way to control someone when they don't have a soul.” He evilly laughed.

 

“You can go straight to h-” Kagura didn't even get to finish her sentence when she felt her insides on fire. She felt her chest tightening and she clenched her teeth to keep in her agonizing screams that were forcing to come out. Then as quick as it came it was gone. With her strength slowly coming back she looked back up to the man, there he had her heart clenched in the palm of his hand. Realization hit her.

 

“Now you know why I chose to take your heart don't you, Kagura. You will never, and I mean NEVER defy me again, is that understood?” He clenched his hand in emphasis and was satisfied to hear her gasp in pain.

 

“I-I understand.” She managed to gasp. “B-but what s-shall you prefer me to call you.”

 

Smirking he answered, “Master Naraku.”

 

*End Flashback*

 

`That Bastard.' Was her last thought before she zoomed off in the night sky.

 

~OoOoOoOoOoO~

 

“Kagome!”

 

Thursday had come by too quickly for Kagome's taste. So zoned out was she that she failed to notice one of her close friends yelling her name at the top of her lungs.

 

“KAGOME!!!!!” Almost the whole student body stopped to look at the girl strangely before moving on, Kagome, unfortunately was oblivious. “Oh for Kami's sake.” The girl muttered to herself. Running as fast as she could, she tackled Kagome, successfully knocking her down.

 

“Oommph.” Kagome grunted before hurdling into the ground. Rubbing her now aching head she got ready to bitch the person out but didn't expect what happened next.

 

“Ouch. Why'd you do that for?” Rubbing the now sore spot on her arm, where the other girl punched her. “First you tackle me, then you punch me, what's next Rin?” Kagome asked sarcastically. Staring at the pretty girl in a white tank top and beige cargos, with her brown hair tied up in a ponytail, she couldn't help the soft smile.

 

“Well, if you weren't zoning of into la la land, I wouldn't have had gone into such measures.” She stated in a matter-of-fact tone. “Besides I wanted you to meet my new boyfriend!”

 

“Really? Who is it this time, the star-player of the track team?” Rin had a way with all the star-players of every sport, even though she still had her innocence. Hey, just because you date a lot of guys didn't mean you slept around, right? `Oh shit' “What was that, Rin? Sorry I wasn't paying attention.” Kagome said sheepishly.

 

“I swear, Kagome. You are losing your touch. You always paid attention to me and never day-dreamed. Why the sudden change?” She looked at Kagome thoughtfully, until it finally clicked.

 

Kagome didn't like where this was going, especially when Rin gave her that `I know, what you know, so no sense in hiding it' look.

 

“Come on, girl, spill it. Who is he, what's his name, where's he from, the whole nine yards.” She gasped out in an excited tone.

 

“I don't know what you're talking about.” Kagome lied.

 

“Awww, don't lie, Kags. I know you better than anyone else, well except for Sango, but STILL I want to kn-”

 

“Could you be the one that's not afraid, to look me in the eyes, I swear I would collapse…” Shooting Kagome an apologetic look, she answered her phone.

 

“Hi Fluffy!”

 

“Rin, what have I told you about calling me that in public.”

 

“But we're on the phone.” She protested.

 

Hearing him sigh on the other end, she muttered a quick apology. “It's alright, Rin. So what time do you want me to pick you up?” He smirked to himself knowing her answer.

 

“WHAT?! You mean you forgot? Shessy, how could you?” she silently cried.

 

“Well, maybe if you stopped talking so much you would have noticed me by now.”

 

`What?' Looking behind her, Rin's eyes lit up. Running up to him, the 5 foot girl was easily picked up by the taller man.

 

Kagome looked on and judged that they, in fact, made a very cute couple. But the one thing she couldn't understand was how they ended up together. Considering Rin's bubbly personality and judging by his stoic features was kind of weird. She was starting to get a headache.

 

The tall mad had long midnight hair, like Inuyasha's, Kagome noticed he looked her way. But his eyes held no warmth the way Inuyasha's did. It also seemed his features were more refined and his hair well kept. Unlike Inuyasha who was rough and unruly. But other than those differences they could pass off as twins. Could that be…

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

`Oh, no.' Was the two girl's last thought.

 

~OoOoOoOoOoO~
