InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Somewhere in Her Memory ❯ Curiosity (Almost) Killed the Kitsune ( Chapter 8 )

Here is the make up chapter, as promised and :gasp: before Sunday. Well anyway, I hope you like it.

…By the way, sorry for the large amount of mistakes in the last chapter. I'm a night owl, but I get really out of it at night, but I also get really creative…yeah. Well, I won't keep you waiting any longer.

 

Disclaimer: Except for this. I have to say this or else I will probably be sued so…I don't Inuyasha…or his gorgeous, gorgeous brother.

 

RECAP

He pointed to a door on the right side of the lobby. “The dining room is over there.” He walked up one of the two sets of stairs and opened a set of double doors. Behind them, a long hall stretched and finally split into three different directions. Kagome stood there gaping as he moved forward. Rolling his eyes, he pulled her towards the split and turned to the right. “The guest rooms are over there. I don't know which room you are staying in yet, I'll have to ask Sesshomaru when he comes home.”

 

“Okay.” She said, still in awe.

 

Kagome made a move to walk down the dark hall, but Inuyasha stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder. “Sesshomaru's quarters are down that hall. Nobody is allowed there except for him and Rin. You are never to go there unless accompanied by him. You probably won't ever be able to move again if he catches you snooping in there.”

 

“Oh. Wow.”

 

He led her down the hall to the left, saving his room for last. “And this,” he said pointing to his door. “Is my room.” Kagome went to reach for the knob, but Inuyasha grabbed her hand and led her away. “That, you won't see until tonight. It's a surprise.” He said and walked back into the lobby, leaving her behind.

 

“Ooh, suspense.” She said sarcastically and followed him.

 

---------S*I*H*M*---------

Chapter 8: Curiosity Killed the Kitsune

“Can I see your room now?” Kagome asked for about the millionth time.

“No.”

“Why not?” she asked.

“Cause, it's not time yet.”

“Well, why do I have to wait until it's time?”

“Just cause.” He answered crossing his arms over his chest.

“Inuyasha.” Kagome said in the voice he recognized as the `sit' voice. Just as he was about to say something to pacify her, he felt Shippo's scent change. `I don't like this.'

“Ahh!” Kagome screamed as she was tossed over his shoulder and he started running. “Put me down!” She yelled, beating her fists on his back, but he just ignored her and kept running as he passed Shippo's room. He looked in and then skidded to a stop as he let go of Kagome which sent her flying to the floor. `What the hell did he just drop me on the floor for?'

She was about to scream at him but he was already in the room yelling at someone.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?!” Inuyasha yelled.

“What are you yelling about now?” Kagome asked, coming into the room.

He pointed at Shippo and Rin. “Those two, that's what.”

 

About 15 Minutes Earlier

“Rin is bored.” Rin said.

“I'm bored too, but Inuyasha's showing Kagome around. He said not to bother them.” Shippo answered.

“I know.” Rin said smiling brightly. “Let's go find Lady Sango and Miroku-san. They always have something fun to do.”

“Okay. Hop on.” Shippo said and bent down so that Rin could climb onto his back. They soon arrived at the door of the room that Sango and Miroku were in. Rin hoped off his back and went to open the door.

“It won't open.” She said pouting.

“Lemme try.” Shippo said trying the knob, but it still wouldn't budge. `I know.' “Fox fire!” He said and the knob came off.

“You're going to pay for that with your life, you little fox demon brat.” Rin said, imitating Jaken.

Shippo laughed and opened the door.

When they walked inside, they saw Miroku on top of Sango. Sango pushed him onto the floor and jumped on top of him. “Who's my bitch? Say it!” She said ripping open his shirt.

“Sango, that was my favorite shirt.” Miroku whined.

“Say it!” She said, smacking him.

He groaned in pain. “You, Sango.”

“Oops.” Shippo said.

Sango looked up to where the noise came from and jumped off of Miroku, blushing.

“Uhh...Hey.” Miroku said, scratching the back of his head trying to look innocent.

About 5 Minutes later

“So, you're saying that you were doing that because you love each other?” Shippo asked.

“Yes. And you can only do that with someone you love or else people will try to hit you on the back of the head with a giant boomerang.” Miroku said.

Sango shot him a glare.

Miroku simply gave her an innocent look.

“Oh, okay then. Come on Rin. Let's go play in my room.”

She smiled. “Okay!” She climbed onto his back again and he sped off to his room.

*S*I*H*M*

“What now?” Rin asked him and kicked her legs back and forth on the bed.

“I don't know.” Shippo said sitting next to her. He looked around the room, where many toys, such as cars and plastic swords littered the floor. “What do you want to do?”

“Rin doesn't know. Rin doesn't like your toys.” Rin said, blowing her bangs out of her face. Her face brightened. “Hey, do you want to go to Rin's room and play Barbie's? We could use Rin's favorite doll house.”

Shippo sweat dropped. “Rin, boys don't play with dolls. They play with swords and cars.”

“What about him? He looks just like Ken.” She asked, pointing to a G.I. Joe doll.

Shippo blushed and tried to defend himself. “No, Rin. G.I. Joe is an action figure. He's not Ken.”

“Oh.” She said, quietly and frowned.

“Do you want to torture Jaken again?” He suggested.

“He left the house and told Rin that he was never coming back again.”

“Hm. I guess that means he'll be gone until Sesshomaru comes home. What now?”

Rin sighed and looked down at her feet.

A few minutes of silence passed. “Hey, Rin.” Shippo said suddenly.

“Uh huh?” She answered.

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“I love you.” He told her.

She smiled and looked up at him. “Rin loves you too.”

Shippo kissed Rin.

After a while, she kissed him back, but then pulled away, blushing. “Rin thinks that was fun. Did you have fun?” She said.

“Yeah.” He answered shyly. “Do you wanna do it again?”

“Okay.” She said, excitedly.

“Okay.” He said and then gently pushed Rin onto the bed, then and lay on top of her and started kissing her, this time, moving his lips like he had seen someone do in Inuyasha's school once. Rin gasped at the movement and Shippo slipped his tongue into her mouth. Surprised, Rin closed her mouth and broke away.

Shippo groaned and both of their eyes widened in shock. “Shippo, are you okay?” She asked worriedly. `Did I hurt him?'

“Um, I think so. I don't know why I made that noise. I think that I'm fine though.” He said. He didn't know what was happening, but he knew that it felt good.

“Oh.” Rin said quietly. “Well, do you want to stop?” She asked worriedly.

“Nah.” He said and they started kissing like before. When he ran out of breath, he started to suck on her neck.

Rin gasped and pulled his head closer to her neck, and for some reason, her eyes began to feel very heavy. She barely noticed when Inuyasha started yelling and only opened her eyes when Shippo jumped off of her.

Kagome walked into the room. “What are you yelling about now?”

Inuyasha pointed at Rin and Shippo. “Those two, that's what.”

Kagome just made an `o' with her mouth.

“Rin, go to your room!” He yelled. “Actually, take a bath before you go. Kami-sama only knows what Sesshomaru would do if he found Shippo's scent all over you.”

`Scent?' Kagome thought.

Rin's lower lip trembled. “But, Rin wants to stay with Shippo.”

“Rin.” Inuyasha said patiently. “There won't be a Shippo if Sesshomaru comes home and finds out what happened.”

Shippo gulped.

Rin hugged Shippo and quietly wished him good luck. Then she was about to walk to her room when-

Inuyasha saw a red mark near her collarbone. “Rin, what's that?” He pointed to it. “Shippo, that had better not be what I think it is.”

Shippo's eyes widened. “N-no Inuyasha. I swear I didn't mark her.”

Inuyasha looked closer. “It's just a hickey. But, you're still dead if Sesshomaru comes home and sees that on her.”

Shippo gulped once more.

Inuyasha thought for a second. “Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Rin, you take a bath and soak in rose petals or whatever that aromatherapy stuff is called. Then go to the one of the maids and see what she can do about your neck. Kagome. Go find Sango and, I don't care what you do just get the hell out of the room. Shippo, you stay in here.” He smirked. “We're gonna have a little chat.” He turned back to Rin and Kagome. “Well?!”

Rin ran out of the room and towards the closest bathroom.

Kagome was about to protest, but upon seeing Inuyasha's look; she ran out of the room as well and closed the door behind her. Instead of looking for Sango though, she decided to stay just outside the door to try and hear what they were talking about. She wanted to know just exactly how Inuyasha was going to handle this.

Kagome thought she heard Inuyasha crack his knuckles.

“Y-you know Kagome's going to `sit' you big time if you hurt me.” She heard the little boy say in a shaky voice. `Are they talking about me?'

“Gee, I don't know Shippo. The only Kagome I know is the clueless one out there right now. I was always wondering when I was finally gonna be able to get you back for all those times you got me sat.”

Shippo gulped for about the millionth time that day and finally backed himself into a corner.

`How did he know I was out here? Who's he calling clueless?' “And, what does he mean by sit?”

“Iron Reaver-GAH!” He said and slammed into the ground. `Stupid idiot wench.'

The little kitsune took this time to run out of the room at full speed.

Kagome stood in the doorway. Her stomach growled. “I guess this would be a bad time to ask where the dining room is, eh?”

 

“11:19.” Miroku stated.

The Inu Tachi, consisting of Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango were all sitting in a semi-circle on a jumbo sized bean bag about the size of a king sized mattress. They were in a room that Kagome didn't remember seeing on the tour. To get there, they had to walk down a few hallways and stair cases that Kagome didn't remember seeing on the tour. At this point, Kagome was beginning to believe that Inuyasha half-assed the tour.

“11:20.”

“Would you shut up?” Inuyasha snapped.

“I'm going to go change.” Kagome said, standing up, since she was the only one who was not in pajamas. `Or pajama bottoms.' She thought, looking at Inuyasha who was only wearing gray pajama bottoms, and trying to resist the urge to drool at how his black hair hung over his completely toned-`Wait a minute, what about his hair?' “Hey, when did your hair get black? And what happened to your eyes?” She asked Inuyasha.

“Oh. The white dye must have washed out in the shower, and I wear contacts.” He answered.

“Hn, figures.” She said walking out the door.

“Feh, I'm gonna go make sure she doesn't get lost. Again.” Inuyasha said, following after her.

Miroku put his arm around Sango. “I'm going to make sure Sango doesn't get too cold.”

“It's summer, hentai. I think that I'll be fine.” Sango said pushing him away.

*S*I*H*M*

“You guys don't believe in lighting, eh?” Kagome joked as Inuyasha led her down a hall that must have been lit with only about one light.

Inuyasha just feh'd and kept on walking.

Kagome bumped into something and heard a crack. “Oops, I think I broke something.” She said, picking up the piece.

Inuyasha stopped. He took out the lighter that was conveniently stashed in his pocket and it cast enough light on the statue for him to examine it properly. “Hmm, nothing out of the ordinary here.” He said as he examined the statue. It was a statue of himself in all his glory, standing proudly with the transformed Tetsuaiga balanced on one shoulder. He eyes scanned the lower section of the statue only to find part of his manhood missing. `You have got to be kidding me.' “What the hell, Kagome. You freaking castrated (1) me!”

“That's you?” She asked in disbelief.

He stared blankly at her.

“Ehehe, here.” She put the broken piece in the statue's hand. “It should be safe there.”

Inuyasha picked her up bridal style.

“Gah! What are you doing?” She screamed.

“I got to get you outta here before you castrate my brother too.” He cringed as he imagined himself getting crushed by a giant paw, or drowning a pool of acid. `This wouldn't be such a problem if that damned Midoriko didn't give him back his arm. He would be no problem then.'

Kagome interrupted his thoughts. “Hmm. There's a statue of Sesshomaru too? Now that's something worth seeing.”

“I don't think so. That's the last thing that I would want to see right before I go to bed.” He mumbled, running to her room.

Little did they know a curious little kitsune heard the whole thing from his bedroom and decided to share the secret with his special little friend, Rin.

*S*I*H*M*

“Come on, Kagome.” Inuyasha said standing outside her room door.

Kagome let out a frustrated growl and opened the door.

Inuyasha's jaw dropped. Kagome stood there with extremely short shorts and a low cut tank top. “What are you wearing? I thought you were putting on pajama's not underwear.” He finally said.

“Well, I want to make a good impression.” She said, blushing under his scrutiny.

“On who?” He said running down the halls.

“Oh, nobody special.” She said innocently. `Nobody special, but Sesshomaru.' She thought, smirking in her head.

“You are not wearing that.” Inuyasha said, crossing his arms over his chest and blocking the doorway.

“Then I'm not going.” She huffed and closed the door on him. “And I'm not tucking you in either.” She added after a seconds thought.

Inuyasha growled. `Fine, if she wants to be that way, then she can just stay here.' He thought, walking away. However, after a few steps, he turned around and walked back. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. “Fine, you can go.” He mumbled.

After a few seconds she opened the door. She was still wearing the tank top, but she had changed into a pair of black sweatpants and her hair was now placed in a high ponytail. “Just so you know, I changed because I got cold, not because you said to. You're not the boss of me.” She said, getting on his back.

*S*I*H*M*

They arrived at the room to find a bare-chested Sesshomaru sitting on the floor beside Miroku and Sango. They were all sitting around a bottle. “Hello, little brother. We have been waiting for you.” Sesshomaru when he saw him and Kagome enter the room. “And who is this?” He asked, looking at Kagome, even though he knew full well who she was. “Such beauty should not be hidden behind such…” He looked at Inuyasha's pajama bottoms, disdainfully. “…tackiness.”

Inuyasha put Kagome down and growled possessively.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. “Did you just growl?”

“Feh, no.” He said crossing his arms.

“My dear half-brother, you are wearing your pants wrong. They are supposed to be worn at the hip, like this.” He gestured to himself. “Am I right, Miss…” He trailed off looking at Kagome.

Kagome could swear that his skin was sparkling. Sesshomaru's body was so gorgeous that he could put the gods to shame. “M-my name is Kagome, Sesshomaru-sama. And yes, you are completely right.” Kagome stammered.

`Oh please. Next she'll be asking him for his autograph. And I was wearing these pants first so he can just go…change.' Inuyasha growled again, this time soft so Kagome wouldn't hear.

“Please, Kagome.” Sesshomaru said, giving her a charming smile and resisting the urge to smirk. He didn't even need to be a demon to feel the anger and jealousy coming off of Inuyasha. “It's just Sesshomaru. Will you sit by me?” He said offering a hand.

“Okay.” Kagome said, shyly taking his hand and sitting next to him, her cheeks red.

Inuyasha just stomped over and plopped unceremoniously on the other side of Kagome.

Sango started. “Okay. The rules are simple. You spin the bottle and whoever it lands on has to make out with the person who spun the bottle for two minutes. The order is clock wise.”

“What?! This is a kid's game!” Inuyasha protested.

“I'll go first, then.” Miroku said excitedly. He spun the bottle and it landed on Inuyasha.

“This happens every time we play this game. I'm beginning to think that you're gay.” Inuyasha said pissed off.

“Oh, I can't help it Inuyasha. You're such a good kisser.” Miroku said in a girly voice and kissed Inuyasha.

....

“Time.” Sango said.

Miroku sat back down in his spot. Inuyasha wiped his tongue with his shirt. `Son of a- Did he really have to put his tongue in my mouth?'

Sesshomaru spun the bottle. It landed on Kagome.

“No way, you planned that.” Inuyasha debated.

Sesshomaru smirked. “Little brother, I have no idea what you're talking about.” He said and turned to face Kagome and kissed her slowly, placing one hand behind her head and the other on her back. After a while, she slowly kissed him back. `I can't believe I'm kissing The Sesshomaru. I'm going to die. I can't wait to write about this in my diary. Don't end. Don't end. Please do not end.'

“Time.” Inuyasha said, growling. Sesshomaru let go of Kagome very slowly, but wrapped one arm around her waist, which is good because her bones felt like jelly at the moment.

“You're turn, Kagome.” Sango said.

Kagome spun the bottle and it landed on Inuyasha.

“Talk about a downgrade.” Sesshomaru commented letting his arm drop.

“Is he really that bad?” She asked Miroku.

“He's no Sango.” Miroku muttered.

“Why don't you find out for yourself?” Inuyasha said, grabbing her and kissing her a bit more forcefully than he intended to. `Damn, finally.'

`No wonder Miroku didn't mind.' She thought, threading her fingers through his hair. Kagome felt like she was drowning, but she didn't care about breathing at the moment. Air was so overrated, anyway. Inuyasha's kiss made her forget all the reasons why she should hate him. Nothing mattered, but her, Inuyasha, and-

“Time.” Sango said.

And maybe time mattered as well…

There was a tiny knock at the door.

“Quick. Hide the bottle.” Sango said.

Inuyasha picked up the bottle and tossed it in the trash, while everyone jumped on the bean bag trying to look absolutely innocent.

“Come in, Rin.” Sesshomaru said.

Shippo and Rin walked into the room. “You ask him.” Rin whispered to Shippo, pushing him forward.

“No, you ask him.” He said.

“Ask me what?” He asked, patiently.

Shippo shyly stepped forward. "S-Sesshomaru-sama, what does cas-castrated mean?"

Sesshomaru sent a death glare to all in the group behind him and to Inuyasha, who started…organizing the trash. “Where did you hear that, Shippo?”

Shippo took a deep breath. “Well, I was in my room and I couldn't sleep and I was thirsty so I was gonna get a drink and I was about to go outside when Inuyasha yelled, `What the hell Kagome, you freaking castrated me!'” He said in his best Inuyasha voice. “Then Kagome said, `It should be safe here.'” He said in a high squeaky voice. “Then Inuyasha said, `Lemme get you outta here before you castrate Sesshomaru.'” He finished in an Inuyasha voice again. “Then Kagome said mumfh-” He was cut off when Kagome jumped up with surprising speed for a human and covered Shippo's mouth with her hand. She pushed him out of the room and gave him a death glare. “You ever finish that sentence and you'll wish that you had never met Kagome Higurashi.”

Shippo gulped, nodded, and scurried away, but not before going back to collect Rin.

“Ehhehe. Inuyasha let's go so I can tuck you in. It's way past your bed time.” Kagome said, walking back into the room and dragging Inuyasha out by his hair.

--------*S*I*H*M*--------

Wow. That was on extremely long chapter. I really didn't intend for it to be this long. It's just that I had to edit and change so much and…Well, you know. Well anyway. Don't forget to review and have a nice weekend!
