InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Rock This ❯ Alleyway Talks ( Chapter 3 )

* Don't own them still. Sad but true. Random note: I personally like Koga, but for this story he is going to be a real jerk. Sorry all fans. =^_^= *

 

 

“Hey! What's the big idea?” Kagome managed out as she was forcefully dragged from the club and out into the deserted alley behind it. Growling and snapping, Inuyasha slammed her up against the nearest wall and pinned her wrists on either side of her head.

 

“Now you are going to tell me how you can see my ears, and you are going to tell me now.” He bit out darkly as he stared her down. Suddenly he doubled up in pain and let her go as her knee made contact with his testicles.

 

“Serves you right asshole! NOW WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!” Kagome yelled in his face as she squatted in front of him. “It's not like your ears are some big secret or something. They are right there on top of your head dumbass.”

 

“Wench! Shit that hurt…” Inuyasha muttered before meeting her smoky eyes again with his blazing ones. Slowly the two stood back up and faced each other down. “I'm only going to ask this one more time; HOW CAN YOU SEE MY EARS!”

 

“Kami, didn't you hear me the first time? I HAVE EYES. I AM NOT A BLIND PERSON. Yup, that pretty much covers it.” Kagome spat out as she stared at him incredulously. “What is your deal?”

 

Moving faster than she had ever thought possible, he had her against the wall again, this time with his knee pushed between her legs and his hips pressed tightly against hers, completely immobilizing her. “Bullshit. You've gotta be a miko. What kind of game are you trying to play? Just because I'm a hanyou doesn't mean I'm easy to kill or something.”

 

Her eyes widened as she took in his words. “Kill you? What are you talking about? Yeah, I grew up in a shrine, but real mikos don't exist. And what are you supposed to be? Besides an insane person.”

 

Inuyasha stared down at her for minutes that seemed to stretch into hours. As he tried to read the truth in her eyes he noticed that her scent was starting to distract him. `Kuso.' “Wench you really don't know what I'm talking about?”

 

“How can I? You aren't making any kind of sense…” She trailed off as she broke eye contact to stare up at his ears that were madly swiveling on his head. “So you are telling me that no one else can see those?”

 

“No one that doesn't have spiritual powers. The supposed “monk” Miroku can. You can too apparently. I haven't seen a miko…well, ever. They are a dying breed, but most at least know what they are.” He snorted and gave her a pointed look that had her eyes flashing and her aura coming up to clash with his own.

 

“So can you get off of me now?”

 

“You aren't going to knee me again are you?”

 

Kagome smiled sweetly up at him and shook her head. Slowly he backed off of her and released her wrists. Instantly she brought up a hand and slapped him across the face. Hard.

 

“What the fuck?!”

“I didn't knee you. I said nothing about slapping you for acting like a psycho.”

 

Inuyasha stared down at the seething girl and felt a smile quirk his lips. The smile became a grin and soon he was roaring in laughter. This only served to piss the girl off more.

 

“I knew it, you really are crazy.” Kagome sighed and crossed her arms.

 

His laughing died down to a slight chuckle. He shook his head roughly and earned another glare from her as she waited for him to spit it out.

 

“It's just that you're really cute when you're pissed.”

 

Kagome stomped the heel of her boot into his toes and spun around. “If you aren't going to explain anything else, then I'm leaving.”

 

He grabbed her by the wrist and spun her around, causing her to stumble into his chest. His arms reflexively wrapped around her as she gaped at him. Reluctantly he let her go, stepping back a bit from her scent before it overwhelmed him and made him do something she would hurt him even more for. He held up his hands and surrendered.

 

“Alright. You, apparently, are a miko. Don't interrupt.” He said as she started to do just that. “I don't know why you didn't realize that, but whatever. I'm a half demon. Half dog demon to be specific. Right now I have on a charm that hides the ears, fangs and claws. Only people with spiritual powers can see through it. There isn't that many people with them anymore, so it's not really a problem. Those that have them are usually trained and we all tend to avoid each other.”

 

Kagome had been staring at him during this little speech and had taken note of the razor sharp fangs and claws. And of course her vision kept returning to his ears. She had this overwhelming urge to reach up and rub them. As he kept talking she tuned him out, achieving tunnel vision on the furry appendages. She inched closer and raised her hands up to his ears as his voice faded into the background. She latched her hands onto his ears and started to softly rub as he stopped abruptly in the middle of a sentence.

 

“What the hell do you think you are doing?” He growled out at her as he ripped her hands away from his ears.

 

“What? Oh sorry! I couldn't help myself!”

 

“Why?” He asked, genuinely confused. No one who had seen what he was had ever wanted to do anything more than run away as fast as their legs could carry them. This girl had not only stuck around, but she had actually touched them. Rubbed them to be exact.

 

“I don't know. They are adorable and they were moving around…” Kagome trailed off, realizing that she should have most likely been listening to him instead of zoning out the end of his explanation. “Seriously, I'm sorry.” She gazed at him and the way he still hadn't let go of her. Noticing where her eyes went he dropped her wrists.

 

“Keh.”

 

“Right. So let me get this strait. You are a half dog demon. I'm a miko. Sangos new boyfriend is a monk. A very hentai monk. No one else can see your ears unless you take the charm off. Does that pretty much cover it?” She asked, ticking off the points on her fingertips.

 

“Pretty much. You can't possibly tell me that you've never seen another demon though. I aint buying it.” He crossed his arms stubbornly and waited for her answer.

 

“Well there have been some, now that I think of it. But in Tokyo I just figured they were cosplayers and here, well it's New York. You see weirder things than silver haired men with puppy ears when you go on the subway.” Suddenly her head jerked up in realization. “Do they all have animal ears like you?”

 

Inuyasha looked hard at her for a minute before answering. “No, most full demons have both a more human form and an animal form. In human form they usually have pointy ears and fangs. Some have markings, like my asshole half brother.” He trailed off at the look of fear on her face. “What's wrong?” He asked before wondering, `Is she getting scared of me now? Why am I actually disappointed?'

 

 

“Nothing!” She squeaked out, stiffening momentarily at his question. Inside she was panicking. `Koga had pointy ears. And he had fangs. Kagome, you baka! How could you have not known? Kagome no baka!' She cleared her throat and asked a laced question; “Is there anything else I should know about demons and half demons?”

 

“Well we are a lot stronger than most humans. A lot. Some demons have special abilities, like poisons. As a hanyou I'll live much longer than a human, but full demon life spans are about double mine. Most carry some traits of whatever type of demon they are.” He finished, confused at the emotions flickering in her eyes. “Ummm are you okay with all of this?”

 

“Yeah, sure. Demons exist. `I dated one. A violent, possessive, one. A violent, possessive, obsessed one that refuses to leave me alone.' It's okay. It's just something to get used to, ya know?”

 

She laughed awkwardly before swaying slightly on her feet. Instantly his strong arms were surrounding her again. She looked up at him and held his golden eyes with her own. Slowly, and against his better judgment, Inuyasha crept closer to her and inhaled her scent. She smelled so damn good. He wanted to bury his face in her hair and smell her for the rest of the night. Well maybe not just smell her… Suddenly she pulled away from him.

 

“I have to go.”

 

“Huh? Wait!” He called to her retreating back as she quickly went into the club.

 

He followed her, and was immediately stopped by a groupie chick telling him what a “fantastic job” he did. He looked over the groupies shoulder to see Kagome muttering a few short words to their friends before glancing back at him and heading out the front door of the club. By the time he managed to disentangle himself from the random groupie and get out the front door, the only trace of her was the taillight of her motorcycle as she raced off into the night.
