InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Playtime's over ❯ Chapter Fourteen: Choices Made ( Chapter 15 )

I do not own Inuyasha. I do not make any claim to any Inuyasha characters. Rumiko Takahashi, I thank you for creating such a wonderful story, and allowing writers like myself to play with them. Thank you. ^_^ R/R guys.

 

~Chapter Fourteen~

 

`Mmmm vanilla….'

 

Inuyasha blinked sleepily, unmoving as he yawned. He inhaled again, trying to catch the delicious scent that woke him. Cuddling into the warm body, he inhaled again, sighing in bliss. 'Vanilla...just like Kagome...' Suddenly he froze, blinking a few times, trying to clear his foggy mind, as well as trying to remember last nights' events.

 

'What happened?' He wondered, finally able to think clearly, as brain functions finally kicked in. Inuyasha untangled himself from Kagome's warm body, sitting up. Then he panicked, lifting the covers, before sighing in relief, and disappointment. 'Well what the fuck do you did was going to happen, idiot? You think she would let you touch her again after the shit you pulled yesterday?' He rubbed his face, sighing in irritation. Irritation for Kagome's tempting scent, for himself...well he was mostly irritated with himself. Grumbling, he got out of bed, being careful to be very quiet, so he wouldn't disturb Kagome.

 

After a shower, and getting properly dressed, he was ready for work. He stood near the bed, near Kagome. Kagome lay curled on her side, her even breathing telling him she was still fast asleep. His eyes softened, as he reached out to move a strand of ebony hair from her face. Inuyasha let his fingers stay a little longer, moving down to lightly caress her cheek. With a deep, resigned sigh, he dropped his hand lifelessly to his side. 'God's I don't deserve her...I just hope she can forgive me what I'm about to do....'

 

His fingers twitch as he slowly touched the tip of his fingers to the mark. His eyes grew sad, and he took a deep breath, pulling on the power of his youkai to slowly heal the mark.

 

Inuyasha panted, eyes opening to look at the mark. 'It was...gone...' He felt his blood run cold, feeling as though his heart was breaking. Instead of her baring his mark, only smooth skin existed. He bowed his head, reaching into his coat he took out the note from his pocket, placing it next to her pillow.

 

Walking slowly toward the door, Inuyasha picked up his coat and briefcase. He never thought walking away would be so painful. With his hand on the doorknob, he paused clenching his eyes shut. 'Its for the best...' He inhaled, opening the door. Inuyasha hung his head in defeat as he closed the door behind himself.

 

`For the best....' He repeated inside his mind, and yet he felt as though his heart was being ripped in two.

 

A few hours later…

 

Kagome sighed, and then yawned. She licked her dry lips, before stretching out. She felt, and heard a crumble, and blinked. She lay on her side, pausing when she saw a note near her pillow. She bit her lip, before reaching for it. Swallowing she sat up, unfolding the letter in the process. She started reading.

 

Dear Kagome,

 

I left for work early. I figured I would let you sleep in, you can come in late.

 

-Yash.

 

"Well that's odd." She mumbled, looking quite confused. Inuyasha never let her sleep in, nor could he stand her being late. `What was he up to?' She thought, before getting out of bed. Lucky for her, Inuyasha agreed to letting her leave some of her stuff here, incase she ever slept over.

 

A short time later, a groomed and dressed Kagome headed out to the office, never knowing what lay ahead for her.
