InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Scandalous ❯ So Close ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 8: So close…

 

Aine sat watching the fire that burned inside the hut. She was hugging her knees to her chest seeing images flash in the dancing flames. A hand touched her shoulder causing her to snap out of her little world. She looked up to see Jiro looking down at her.

 

“What are you doing still up?” she asked.

 

“I should ask you the same thing,” he said sitting next to her.

 

“I just couldn't sleep. I keep getting these images in my head. I have no idea what they are about either,” she stated.

 

“What are the images?” Jiro asked.

 

“Well, there's this one of an evil looking guy, but he's really handsome at the same time. I have a feeling I know him or something,” she replied.

 

“Don't worry about it. Just get some sleep because we are leaving tomorrow,” he stated.

 

“We're really leaving tomorrow?” she questioned. Her response was a nod and she sighed. She crawled over to her futon and laid down. She turned her back to the fire and found herself staring at Dustin's sleeping form. God, he was beautiful. Of course he was beautiful, he was a famous singer. She had never seen a famous person up close like this. She always thought that celebrities were only beautiful because of all the make-up they wore, but not Dustin.

 

Aine reached over and grabbed his hand. She held it gently before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Dustin opened his eyes and felt something warm on his hand. He looked down and saw Aine's hand holding his. He smiled and squeezed her hand gently before going back to sleep. Maybe she really did like him. If they were back home they could've been something, but right now only time could tell.

Aine opened her eyes to see black. She grew confused and backed away to see what she was seeing. It was Dustin's black shirt. She felt something pull her closer to him and then realized that his arm was around her. She blushed and tried to get away from him before anyone woke up. He wasn't going to let go of her anytime soon.

 

She pulled herself up to be level with his face and looked into his blue-green eyes. Wait, they were open? He was awake! Aine's eyes widened and she was about to open her mouth, but he stopped her. His lips covered hers to keep her quiet, but he didn't back away.

 

“Mmmm…” Aine mumbled against his lips. She tried to back away, but he kept her still. She closed her eyes tightly to fight the sensation running through her. He backed away from her and watched her facial expressions. He loved how the emotions ran across her face like that.

 

She opened her eyes and stared at Dustin shocked. Then she looked around to see if everyone was still asleep. When she was sure everyone was asleep she looked back at Dustin and smiled. Her lips crashed on to his and this time his eyes widened. He accepted the kiss and leaned closer. He closed his eyes and deepened the kiss considerably. Aine moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck. Dustin rolled on to his back, taking Aine with him. Her upper body was against his chest while her lower body was still on her futon.

 

She backed away for air and then heard a menacing growl from across the room. Her head snapped up and saw Jiro standing over them.

 

“Shit,” Dustin whispered seeing the anger in Jiro's eyes. Jiro grabbed Dustin's shirt and lifted him from under Aine.

 

“How dare you touch her!” Jiro growled and threw Dustin against the wall. Dustin sunk into the sitting position after hitting the wall.

 

“Ow! What the hell was that for?! It's not like I did anything wrong,” Dustin said. Everyone was beginning to wake up and Aine panicked. This was all her fault.

 

“You were trying to force yourself on Aine,” Jiro said advancing on Dustin. Aine threw her arms around Dustin's shoulders and sat in between his legs.

 

“Stop it! It was my fault! I came on to him!” Aine yelled. Everyone gasped at the sudden outburst. Jiro bowed his head and clenched his fists. He didn't want to face it. He didn't want to lose his potential mate to a human. Jiro turned and ran out of the hut. Aine turned and watched him leave.

 

Dustin sighed in relief and looked at the others that were staring at them. “What?” he asked.

 

“So she really came on to you? What are your secrets?” Miroku asked. Sango went up and slapped him in the back on the head.

 

“Leave them alone!” Sango yelled. Aine realized that she was practically on top of Dustin again and jumped off of him. She blushed and stared at the floor embarrassed.

 

“When is the wedding?” Rin asked.

 

“What wedding?” Dustin asked.

 

“You mean that you two aren't getting married? That's dishonorable!” Rin cried.

 

“We just kissed okay?! Nothing more, nothing less! There's nothing wrong with that,” Aine said standing.

 

“Poor Jiro. He probably couldn't handle his mate kissing another man,” Sango stated.

 

“I'm not his mate! I wish everyone would stop calling me that!” Aine shouted and ran out of the hut to find Jiro. She felt bad for hurting Jiro like she did. She found Jiro sitting in a tall tree and walked over to it.

 

“Hey Jiro! Can we talk?” Aine asked.

 

“What do you want? I don't feel like talking to you,” Jiro stated.

 

“Please come down here. I'm sorry about what happened in there,” she said sitting down at the roots of the tree.

 

Jiro jumped down and landed in front of her. “Then why did you do it? If you're sorry now then why did you do it in the first place?” Jiro asked.

 

“Well you have to understand what we are going through. We are lost in a world we don't know and we don't know how to get back home. I miss my family and friends and he's the only thing I've got in this place,” she said with tears in her eyes.

 

“You have me, Aine,” he whispered and leaned in to kiss her. Aine didn't even notice him getting closer until his nose touched hers. His lips brushed hers and she pushed him away.

 

“What are you doing? I never gave you the right to kiss me!” Aine yelled.

 

“Why can he kiss you and I can't? I thought I was your friend too,” Jiro growled grabbing her upper arms tightly.

 

“Friends don't just kiss each other whenever!” Aine yelled.

 

“Then what do you call what you're doing with him?” Jiro asked. Aine froze at the statement. What was she doing? Aine looked down and let out a sob. She was so confused right now she just wanted to crawl under a rock to escape this place.

 

Jiro let her go thinking he had hurt her and didn't know how to comfort her. “I'm sorry Aine. I didn't mean to hurt you,” he mumbled.

 

Dustin came out of the hut and saw Aine crying. He walked over to her and knelt down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest.

 

“Why is she crying?” he asked Jiro.

 

“I think I may have hurt her when I grabbed her,” Jiro sighed in guilt.

 

“No, it's not that. I'm sorry, I just feel horrible,” Aine sobbed.

 

Dustin rocked her back and forth trying to soothe Aine. “What's wrong Aine?” he asked truly concerned.

 

“I'm just so confused. I wish this was all just a dream. I want to wake up in my bed,” Aine mumbled.

 

“Don't worry, we'll find a way home,” Dustin promised. Aine gripped on to Dustin's shoulders and dug her face into his chest. Jiro didn't like the sight of Aine crying, but he also didn't like the fact that Dustin was the one comforting her.

 

“I'll be inside if you need me,” Jiro stated and left them alone.

 

Dustin rubbed Aine's back and she calmed down. “I'm sorry if it seemed like I was leading you on Dustin. I'm really starting to like you, but kissing you in there wasn't the right thing to do at a time like this,” she said sniffing every so often.

 

“I know, but if it makes you feel any better I really like you too,” he smiled. Aine looked up at him and started giggling. He sounded like a little kid telling his grade school crush that he liked her. Dustin chuckled along with her, not knowing why they were laughing, but loved how happy Aine seemed.

 

“We better get going. I promised Rin that we would travel to her village with her,” he stated.

 

“So we are going to have another addition?” Aine asked.

 

“Looks like it,” he confirmed.

 

“Good! And Rin is a girl too so now I won't be surrounded by perverts,” she smiled.

 

“Who are you calling a pervert?” he asked watching her walk away. Her school uniform skirt bounced with each step showing off her black underwear.

 

“Stop staring at my ass and you wouldn't be a pervert!” she called back. `I wonder why my heart chose him…' her mind questioned.

 

Dustin stood and ran after her. “How did you know I was staring at your ass?” he asked innocently.

 

“So you were looking! Guys are always after sex!” she said stomping her foot.

 

“I wasn't looking I was just asking how you knew,” he corrected.

 

“That made no sense whatsoever to me,” she stated entering the hut. She saw Kohaku helping Rin carry all her stuff and knew it was time to leave.

 

“I hope you don't mind taking Kohaku with you. He insisted on helping Rin on her journey,” Sango said.

 

“It's no problem! The more the merrier, I always say!” Aine smiled. She then noticed Jiro was laying down, his head right next to her feet.

 

“What are you doing down there?” Aine asked.

 

“Black suits you,” Jiro simply stated. Aine gave him a questioning look before it finally clicked in her brain.

 

She opened her mouth and screamed, “Who sick pervert! You shouldn't be looking up my skirt!!!!”

 

“Well if your kimono wasn't so short, then we wouldn't have this problem,” Jiro said still staring at her underwear.

 

Aine put her foot on his forehead and said, “Well get a good look because you're about to be blind!”

 

Dustin grabbed her arms and held her back from doing anything harmful to Jiro. Even if he didn't like Jiro, he knew Aine would try to kill him. He'd just have to deal with Jiro later.

 

“You're one lively group aren't you? I guess it will keep things interesting!” Rin laughed.

 

Aine calmed down and blushed in embarrassment. She finally just settled for kicking Jiro lightly in the head and pulling her shirt to where he couldn't see under it. “What the hell is wrong with men these days?!” she cursed.

 

“Well Jiro and Dustin are virgins obviously,” Miroku stated calmly, sipping at his tea. Jiro jumped up and went to go kill Miroku, but stopped thinking better of it.

 

Aine sat down across from Miroku and asked, “Really? You don't say?”

 

“Yup and that's why they are so interested in you. We took my son Kohaku to a brothel when he turned 13 and he's been shy with girls ever since,” Miroku said.

 

“So Kohaku has already had sex?” Aine asked looking at Kohaku curiously.

 

“No, he ran away, but that's why he's so shy. I bet if Jiro and Dustin had a peek they would become shy too,” Miroku said.

 

“Is that so? I guess we'll have to stop by a brothel on the way over there,” Aine smirked at the two boys they were talking about.

 

“Hey hey hey! Don't just assumed that I'm a virgin!” Jiro growled.

 

“This is going to be a long journey,” Kohaku sighed.

 

“Yeah, but at least we won't get bored,” Rin smiled.
