InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Eternal Curse ❯ Secrets of a Hanyou ( Chapter 10 )

The Eternal Curse

Chapter Ten:

Secrets of a Hanyou

A.N.: I have decided that this story will be sixteen chapters. It's shorter than all of my other ones, but as I continue to write, that may change.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha so shut up and leave me alone!

Warning: There are a few short chappies ahead!

Kagome was scared when she went into Miroku's chambers. Sango was already there on the floor, looking nervous as Houshi sat on the bed, that perverted smile on his lips. Inuyasha was sitting next to him while she took her seat next to Sango. Miroku cleared his throat.

"Well, the points have been added. Sango has won against me," he said, practically blushing with embarrassment. "And Kagome and Inuyasha have a tie."

"We already know that Miroku," Kagome said logically. "But who wins the bet, I mean…"

"Both of you."

"Nani?"

"Since there is a tie, you are even in points, therefore…" he allowed his sentence to trail off lazily. "You both win and you both lose."

"But…But…" Inuyasha couldn't piece together any words to express how he felt.

"I mean really. Sango…" Kagome whined. The older girl shrugged.

"You can decide who goes first by a coin toss." Sango delved in her pocket, and handed Kagome a shiny golden coin, one side with a fish on it, the other with a dragon.

"I'll flip it."

"It's probably two headed," Inuyasha growled, sulking. His curtain of thick while bangs shielded his expression so Kagome couldn't tell if he was serious or not.

"It's not, see?" she asked, brandishing it before his nose. "Now I'm going to flip it." Kagome steadied it on her thumb, and used her middle finger for leverage and released, making the coin fly up in the air.

"DRAGON!"

"FISH!" They both said the words at the same time. Everything seemed to go by in slow motion as the coin did a little twirl on the hardwood floor before falling to one side. Miroku walked over and picked it up, shaking his head, inspecting it five times over.

"It's dragon," he informed them.

"SHOOT!"

"Inuyasha…" she purred seductively. "Please." The hanyou snarled viciously, glaring at the whining girl with livid amber eyes. Kagome recoiled. "Geez…"

"Will you just shut the hell up and leave me alone?" he cried with rage. Inuyasha flexed his claws, and they suddenly looked very sharp…sharper than usual. Kagome gulped, and wiped away some sweat that had began crawling down her face. Inuyasha wouldn't kill me, a princess, right? she thought reasonably. But still…

"But you promised! We shook on it!" Kagome cried, hoping that he wouldn't suddenly lunge on her.

"I have no intention of telling you anything, bitch…"

"OH! BACK TO THE NAME CALLING!" she sniffled, holding back the urge to give him a good slap upside the head.

"Yeah! You know why? Because I don't like you! Not one bit!"

"Not…at all…?"

"What did you think I had feelings? You aren't exactly what I would call nice."

"So what are you? A good Samaritan?"

"Feh! Better than you…stuck up bitch."

"So you're saying you hate me. After all…"

"After what? I couldn't have been here more than two weeks, and guess what! I have three more weeks left of torture with you!"

"Am I that bad?" she mumbled, discreetly rubbing away some tears.

"Yes! You are! When I first saw you, you looked like you hated me."

"Likewise! I don't hate anyone! How could you at a first glance?" Inuyasha choked on the retort that was on the tip of his tongue. She didn't hate me at first sight? But…

"Kagome…"

"You know why I was looking at you like that? BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WERE HANDSOME!" she screeched. There was no hint of a blush creeping up her cheeks, she just stood there, glaring at him, hands on her hips, lips pursed in annoyance.

"You mean…you thought…" He couldn't form words. Kagome…this beautiful Goddess, thought he, an infamous hanyou was attractive? Of course, people had to treat him nice, he was a Prince, but it wasn't like he couldn't hear them talking behind his back and sneering and snickering when things went wrong!

"Yeah! But I guess that doesn't matter to you, does it?" Kagome hollered, tracks of hot tears rolling down her face. Inuyasha instantly felt guilty, and went up to comfort her. She shoved him away. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"NO!" Kagome shoved him more forcefully, causing him to stumble backwards a few steps.

"Don't touch me, because obviously I'm not good enough for you."

He didn't know why the hell he was doing this. Barging into Kagome's room after her odd display of emotions and physical strength was leaning on the reckless side. Inuyasha nibbled his lip, and held his head up high as he came up from the Great Hall and knocked on her door.

"Who is it?"

"Me."

"Me who?"

"Stop being stupid! It's me!" Inuyasha wanted to smack himself for that comment. It would be worth a good knock on the head for sure. But, the door creaked open much to his satisfaction, as Kagome looked up at him with a tearstained face, still wet from crying.

"What do you want?" she said, spitting out the words as if they were poison.

"I've decided to call a truce. If you let me in, I'll tell you the damn secret." Kagome rose an eyebrow.

"Will you bite my head off?"

"No."

"Will you lie to me?"

"Nope!"

"Do you promise to leave once the sun starts setting?"

"Maybe…" Kagome opened the door, allowing him enough space to wriggle through.

"Good enough for me."

"So, Inuyasha…" Kagome began, as she brushed her long hair. It flowed like silk below her shoulders. He found himself lost in a trace. She was beautiful and her exhilarating scent was doing things to him. He squirmed around, trying to escape the gaze of her thoughtful brown eyes.

"Once a month something happens."

"When?"

"On the full moon."

"What?" Now her voice was riddled with curiosity.

"Every full moon, I turn…full demon." He excepted shrieks, death threats, something. But Kagome just sat on her bed, looking at him, her brush still running over her hair. "Doesn't that affect you at all?" She shrugged.

"I guess. But it's not so different from me in a way." Inuyasha grinned mischievously, allowed a cute little fang to poke out over his lip.

"So…what's your secret?"

"I guess it's time to tell-" She stopped short, and a glazed look of pain came over her face. Inuyasha suddenly got worried and jumped up to her.

"What's wrong?"

"The sun…it's setting!"

A cliffe. I'm sorry it took so long for the update, but I'm glad because three of my fics have been completed J I just got some new ideas for this story, so it should be longer than I anticipated. Nothing much to say besides review. Aloha.
