InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Starry Night ❯ Old Memories ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: I still don't own Inu Yasha, but I'm working on it. But I own the plot line. Steal it and die ;-)

I'm no longer in the microwave box. I got upgraded to a refrigerator box :D

~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~

Kagome sat in silence in front of the mural long after Sango and Miroku left. Inu Yasha was starting to feel slightly unnerved. Ever since the tickling incident he hadn't been able to get near her without sustaining some form of injury or another. So far he had: ended up on his back, gotten the wind knocked out of him, had several bloody noses, and she had some how acquired the strength to throw him to the far wall with out moving from her spot in front of the wall.

Her speed to react was unreal, he hadn't smelled demon on her so it was ruled out that she could acquire her speed and skill from that, but he could feel it whenever he got near their was something not quite right about her.

He continued to stare at her till the chime from the clock indicated midnight. `She doesn't even need to eat or sleep for that matter.' He was suddenly jerked out of his thoughts when a movement caught his eye. She had moved.

She moved with such grace and light footsteps that he could have sworn she was floating. `Oh please what's next! Am I going to start writing sonnets and poetry. I have to get this project done, Kagome or not, unless if I want to fail this course' (A/N: Inu Yasha is an art student at the college.)

His ears twitched when he heard murmuring. It was coming from her. Her lips were barely parting as her fingertips gently moved across the wall. Her fingers traces each of the intricate lines and her eyes moving back and forth attempting to take in every detail at once. "I'm coming home soon." He heard her sigh to the painting as she leaned her head against it briefly before turning to face him.

She looked him in the eye for the first time he brought her here and took in his features for the first time. `Strange. His eyes are amber and his hair is white yet he doesn't look a day over 19. He must be the one I was sent here for.' Her eyes had moved up from his eyes to the top of his snowy head and what she saw there made her want to do things outside of her limits, but when does that stop someone in a trance.

She lifted her delicate hand first to his cheek and slowly brought it to the top of his head. She tweaked his ear once before beginning to massage the base of his ear in small circles. Inu Yasha immediately began to lose himself to her touch, just as he was about to go over the edge he pulled out of his tranquility and pulled her hand away. He gave her a firm look in the eye before turning and leaving the room

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"How can a simple touch affect me like that. I haven't felt like that since….Kikyou," Inu Yasha put his head in his hands as he remembered his first and only love and their last moment together flashed before his eyes

~*~Five Years Earlier~*~(A/N: I know its fifty but this is my story and I say it's five^_^)

"Inu Yasha we shouldn't be back here like this what if we get caught." Kikyou giggled into the ear of her boyfriend. Her long hair was held in a pony tail at the nape of her neck and her russet eyes shone with excitement.

"I'll take my chances." He replied with a smirk and they turned the corner to find a small building. He gently leaned into the door and it came open soundlessly. But he didn't catch the scent in the air tainted with malice hidden in the shadows.

He felt in the dark for the light switch and found it on the far wall next to the door. He flipped the switch and turned around. What he saw sent a chill down to his soul.

Kikyou stood their bleeding heavily from a large cut in her shoulder. Her strength gave way and fell forward, but was caught before she hit the hard concrete. "How did this happen?!" he asked her hastily.

She was fading quickly and he looked into her eyes. The love that they held not more than fifteen minutes ago was concealed with hatred, betrayal, and malice. "How could you Inu Yasha," she said with ragged breaths, "I hate you." She said with her last breath before fading into oblivion.

Inu Yasha sat confused holding her limp body and rocking back and forth. "Forgive me. I didn't do it. I didn't betray you. KIKYOU!'' He shouted as he collapsed from hyperventilation.

~*~End Flashback~*~

Inu Yasha kept his head bowed even when a familiar lavender scent reached his nose and a hand came to his shoulder. He looked up finally and looked at her cobalt eyes.

"I understand." Kagome said before rising and going back to the spot in front of the mural.
