Chapter 10: Only the Night
Inuyasha sat in bed. He had long since finished the story, but couldn't help thinking about it. Not only was it amazingly written, but she had used a direct quote from the real Inuyasha, his name, and she had somehow used Naraku's name. How could she know of Naraku, and that he was Inuyasha's greatest enemy?
*Maybe, she didn't know. Maybe she read the name somewhere and thought it sounded evil. No, no that'll never do, she knows. Why would she toy with me? No, no she isn't toying. Did it just come to her? Maybe Sesshomaru, or her mother told her? No, highly doubtful. How does she know?*
§¤*~
"I'll be fine mom. This apartment is great. Besides you live like ten minutes away walking. Inuyasha lives the other way like twenty minutes. Eri and Yuki will be over all the time. You have nothing to worry about. Go on, let me unpack." Kagome stood in the door way to her new apartment. It was semi-spacious for a single person. One bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen with a small table. Fully furnished, and only three hundred and twenty dollars a month.
"All right, all right you win. Are you sure you don't need help?"
"Go mom." she hugged her mom, "I'll come over tomorrow. Have a good night."
"You too dear."
Kagome spent the better part of the afternoon unpacking boxes. She never realized how much stuff she had kept locked away in her room. Yet here it was, taking up space in her new apartment. She loved the sound of that - her apartment. She had never lived alone, not in all her life.
"On my own." she smiled as she thought of Les Miserables and Eponine singing that song. She hummed it softly and opened her mouth to say words from time to time, as she stocked her shelves.
Her mother had insisted on taking her shopping before she moved out, so she would have plenty of food to get her started, and shampoo, and soap, just about anything a human could ever need. She decided that she needed music and that her singing wasn't helping. She found her small CD player and plugged it into the wall, setting it gently on the kitchen shelf. She opened the CD player to see that the soundtrack to Les Miserables was already in there and she smiled happily closing the lid and pushing 'play'.
She turned around and heard a small clatter, she looked behind her to see two 'c' batteries fall out of the small CD player. "Oh yeah, I put batteries in it that day I made Inuyasha listen to this song." her eye's opened wide. She saw Inuyasha and her sitting on a blanket, eating. . . ramen?. . . listening to her CD player. "How did I do that? I remember! Oh, but only that one thing. I still don't know if we were mated, or friends, or if that was in the past. Ooh, why can't I remember."
§¤*~
"I love this song." Inuyasha walked into the kitchen and smiled at the shock etched into Kagome's face. "Hey." he said calmly. "You left the front door unlocked. I knocked but you didn't answer."
"Maybe I didn't want to talk to anyone." she said. She had never actually heard a knock on the door.
"Doubtful." he said confidently. "I brought you something. I wasn't going to tell you I read it but, I couldn't stop myself." he put the story on the table and waited for her to yell.
"Oh," she blushed drastically, "You read it?"
"You used my name. And Kagome spelled backwards, that was clever." he smiled again, reassuring her he wasn't going to flame her. "I really liked the story, I just have two questions. I've been beating myself up trying to answer them, and I've established I can't, but maybe you can."
"Fire at will." Kagome supported herself on her hands and hopped onto the kitchen counter. She turned down the radio and waited.
"First off, where did you hear the name 'Naraku'?"
"Well, over the past few months, I've been having these weird dreams. Usually I can't see anything but flashes. Flashes of silver and red, purple, black and red, orange and green, it happens so quickly. But I can always here names. 'Sango run to the back, Miroku you take care of the demons with the wind tunnel, watch out for those poisonous insects. Kagome, go guard Shippo. I'll take care of Naraku.' I see the same thing every time. Those flashes of color, though sometimes the word order is different, or incoherent. I don't understand it at all." Kagome finished looking to Inuyasha. His mouth was slightly open.
*So somehow she does remember things, but only subconsciously* He deducted.
"Kagome. My second question," he was going to tell her about Naraku but thought it best to wait until she asked. "Where did you get the inspiration for Inuyasha's speech? Page one thirty, paragraph three?" he spoke the words from the book, he had committed it to memory.
"Oh, wasn't that sad, and yet cute." Kagome smiled placidly. "I was sitting in my dorm room one night, and I could have sworn I saw amber eye's outside my window." Kagome looked into Inuyasha's amber eyes, he gazed back purposefully, "All of a sudden words flowed through my head. Those words. I didn't know what to make of them, I just wrote them down. They wouldn't stop until I wrote them down."
Silence.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome broke the deafening silence, "I put on my CD player and all of a sudden I remembered something. You and I were sitting on a blanket, eating ramen, listening to 'On My Own'. Do you remember that? Or did I imagine it?"
Inuyasha thought for a moment. He could vaguely remember such an occasion. Though they had spent many eating ramen and listening to the music from the CD player. Though, at the time, he was more fascinated with the ramen. "Yes Kagome." he said after a few minutes of thought, "I remember such an occasion."
"I wonder why I can remember that. But yet I still don't know about the whole alternate universe hoopla."
"I don't know Hun." he realized his slip up and thought quickly, "Hunnngry?" he quickly covered.
She smiled at his cover up, "No, are you?"
"No."
The two spent the rest of the afternoon talking. They had a great time getting to know each other again. Inuyasha listened to her stories, ones of college, ones of her childhood. Some he had already heard, other's that were new. They couldn't believe the night had fallen upon them, the blanket of stars covering the night sky.
"Oh, wow it's almost midnight." Kagome yawned, as though her brain hadn't realized it was so late until she mentioned the time.
"I guess I should get going." Kagome looked out the window.
"You don't have your car." she said.
"It's okay, I can walk."
"Not at night you can't. I wont allow it." Inuyasha didn't argue with that logic.
"Who can argue with that?"
The couple talked for another three hours before sleep befell them both.
§¤*~
Inuyasha woke up to find himself in a rather strange situation. He was on a couch that was indeed not his own, nor one he had ever slept in before. He stirred and looked to the clock sitting on the coffee table. 'Midnight blinked again and again'. Inuyasha yawned and brought his hand up to his face, gazing at his watch. Seven thirty.
He stood up and continued his stretches. He then grabbed a pen from the kitchen table and a piece of paper from his pocket - a receipt from the seven eleven. He scribbled a quick note to Kagome and slipped silently out the door.
Kagome awoke a few hours after Inuyasha. She stood up and stifled a yawn with the back of her hand. She walked into the living room "Inuyasha?" he was no where in sight.
She walked into the kitchen and noticed the scribbled note;
Dearest Kagome,
I left early, didn't want to wake you. I am sorry. I hope to see you soon, I'll probably be near the well, something may have jogged my memory and I want to investigate. I'll call you sometime, tonight or tomorrow for sure. Hope you slept well.
`Inuyasha`
Kagome stared at the note for a minute. She suddenly dropped the note and walked into her bedroom. Her clothes weren't put away yet so she dug through box after box. All she could find for pants was actually a skirt, the same black mini-skirt she had considered wearing to the Lostprophets concert. She didn't have time to contemplate and she slipped on the skirt with a black tank top, putting her arms through her black zip up sweater she grabbed her keys and ran out the door.
§¤*~
A slender shadow cast over Inuyasha and the well he had been staring at for hours.
"Inuyasha?" the man turned to see Kagome standing in the doorway to the well house.
"Hey"
"I got your note. Wanna give it a go?" he gave her a quizzical look, "Try and go through the well I mean. I want to know the truth."
"You know, the problem with looking for the truth, is sometimes, you find it." Kagome considered this for a moment.
"I want to try." she replied defiantly.
He smiled and nodded. Kagome walked down the steps to stand next to him. "There was one more thing I wanted to do before we tried this again." she bit her bottom lip as she leaned on her tip-toes. She brushed her lips against his and kissed him softly.
Inuyasha had longed for her touch for so long, he couldn't control himself. He kissed her with an undying passion, begging for entry into her mouth, tasting her a feeling he had almost forgotten, but never truly.
Kagome broke away desperately catching her breath. For the first time in over a year she had been with someone and her head didn't kill her. It seemed this was who she was meant to be with. *Whether the stories are true or not, I don't care. I . . . I think I love him.*
~*~§¤~*~
A/N: *sigh* I hope next chapter will explain some of the many questions I have presented throughout the story
i.e. why could they go back in time, but not that one time? Why does Kagome remember some things not others? When are they going to get together and live happily ever after? What does Kikyou have to do with anything? - opps. . . that wasn't presented. . . *nervous chuckle* BYE!
