InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Street Musician ❯ Distracted ( Chapter 6 )

I do not own Inuyasha and Co.

 

 

Well now,…I have good news for all my readers. I'm going to give a bit of a recap since I'm not sure how many people visit my profile page to keep up with the news on postings and such. I am no longer a slave in hell! YAY! I have left the company where all this began. I speak of everything that has to do with fan fiction. If it weren't for that job, and the amount of downtime I had throughout that year and a half, I might have never found Fan Fiction. Net. That was what started it all. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm being a bit nostalgic, but I can't help it when I had to leave a company that was so great to work for in the beginning. To see it go downhill like that around me within months…so sad. There are memories I'll always have, the friends I made while I was there to look back on. Now that the tears are gone, I have regained my life, and been given a fresh new start. So, now that I have the time, I will be writing more often, and at home. So, enjoy my new life, k? Again, I am so thankful for everyone's support and love through my toughest times, which are now over. I'm able to rest peacefully, laugh more, and I no longer feel insane. And I have you all to thank since you all gave me a bit of reality in those insane times (hugs you all tightly).

Chapter 6: Distracted

 

 

As the couple kissed and made out on Sango's bed, Sango and Miroku had been on their way back to the dorm. They saw the light in the window and figured Kagome was still working on her project. Since that was the thought, Miroku and Sango decided to follow suit on the bench they all had found to be the most romantic spot on the grounds. The bench just outside the girl's dormitory, facing the luscious gardens.

 

As the couple spoke sweet nothings in each other's ears, Sango kept watch on the window to see if the light would go out. With it being about 11 pm, she had figured Kagome would be hitting the sack at around that point.

 

Suddenly, the next glance she took, the light was off. She stopped Miroku and directed his eyes up to the window stating that it was clear, that they wouldn't be bothering Kagome if he dropped her off at her door. So, they then stepped inside and headed up the elevator to their floor.

 

Meanwhile, after some unclaimed hand had knocked the one lamp off the desk, the two lovers had been exploring each other a bit too far while lost in deep passion. The guitar was forgotten, her interview became a problem of the past, and he had forgotten to get home to make sure his mother was all right, as he normally would.

 

She had stolen his concentration. Her actions while kneeling between his legs and touching him as she did had caused him to lose it and jump off the ledge. He had embraced her tightly as he delved his tongue deeply into her mouth, tasting her and loving it. Before they both knew it, he was astride her on her roommate's bed, exploring her body inside and out as she allowed him freedoms unexpected. As the kissing became a bit more intense, she moved her hands from his bare back to his sculpted chest. As he slipped his hands under her tank top and up her back, the door opened.

 

Sango and Miroku had been enjoying a nice conversation when she opened the door and leapt back at the sound of something hitting the floor and a loud gasp. Sango right away flipped the switch to the main lights in the kitchen across the room when she saw the scene clearly with her own two eyes.

 

There was her roommate, all flustered and her hair all mussed up while her shirtless hunk of a boyfriend was sitting on the floor holding his head and hissing in pain. Sango gasped and right away shoved Miroku out the door as she left as well. Sango leaned up against the wall in the hallway and tried to catch her breath and calm herself down. The last thing Sango figured was that she and Miroku would end up walking in on a private moment between Kagome and Inuyasha. She knew they were dating, but she had no idea they had gotten that far.

 

“Sango, are you all right?” Miroku asked as he stepped around the corner and leaned up against the wall next to her.

 

“Yeah, I'm all right. I was just surprised was all. I didn't know they were that close. Did you?” Sango asked Miroku, hoping he could explain the situation.

 

“Actually, I had no idea either. I bet they didn't plan this to happen. Maybe walking in on them was the best thing that could have happened. From the look of things in there, they were lost in some other world.” Sango gave Miroku a questioning look, “Not that you have to really worry about Inu. He's not the kind of guy to take advantage of a girl, believe me,” Miroku explained, hoping to curve Sango's worried mind.

 

Sango continued to eye him with a questioning look. After a moment, she then turned around the corner slightly and leaned her ear against the door to listen and make sure everything was all right in the room.

 

“Oh, no! Inu, are you okay?” Kagome exclaimed as she looked to her half naked boyfriend on the floor below her as he held his head.

 

“Ow…I hit my head on the desk on the way down!” Inuyasha hissed as he pulled his hand away to reveal a red spot amongst his silver hair. Kagome gasped as he noticed his hand was wet. When he brought his bloody hand within sight, his eyes grew big in shock. “Oh my God, Inu. Hold on, I'll get some help! Just sit right there, don't move!” Kagome exclaimed in a panic.

 

Inuyasha didn't move as Kagome stumbled out of the bed and raced towards the door. As she quickly opened the door, Sango and Miroku fell at her feet and knocked Kagome backwards into the counter. Sango and Miroku right away looked to Inuyasha as he sat on the floor staring at his hand in shock.

 

“What happened? Is he okay?” Sango asked suddenly.

 

“He hit his head on the desk as he fell off the bed! He's bleeding! I don't know how bad it is, and I don't know what to do!” Kagome said in shock as her breathing started to lose control.

 

Miroku quickly made his way to Inuyasha to take a look at the wound. As he moved the red hair aside, he noticed a small gash in his scalp. It wasn't bleeding badly, but a bump was forming quickly. “Kagome, get some ice, and wrap it in a towel, okay? We have to get this swelling down!” Miroku commanded as he eyed Inu's face. His expression hadn't changed one bit as he stared at his slightly bloodied hand. “You're gonna be all right, man. Don't worry. It's not that bad, it's just a cut,” Miroku assured as he grabbed some tissue from the desk and wiped the blood off Inuyasha's hand.

 

As soon as the blood was gone, Inuyasha's eyes finally moved and turned to look at his friend at his side. At that point, Kagome had arrived at his other side as she handed the wrapped bag of ice to Miroku.

 

“Let me see it,” Kagome asked as Miroku pulled the hair aside. Kagome tried not to make a sound as her hand covered her mouth and tears started to form in her eyes behind Inuyasha's line of sight.

 

“It's not that bad. I've seen worse, believe me,” Miroku assured her.

 

“You've got to be kidding, Miroku. If he's bleeding and his scalp is cut, he should be taken to the hospital! He may need stitches!” Sango exclaimed as she then decided she needed to see the wound for herself. She distracted Inuyasha from the conversation by leaning over him and leaning his head down, bringing his eyes right in sight of her cleavage. With him being a bit out of it and dizzy, he had no idea what was going on, other than some girl's deep valley blocking his line of sight.

 

“You're right, Miroku. I don't want to take any chances. Plus, he's acting a bit out of it. That's not a good sign!” Kagome pointed out.

 

“That's common with a head injury!” Miroku exclaimed.

 

“Okay, I'm calling an ambulance,” Sango said as she removed the distraction from Inu and stepped towards the kitchen to grab her cell phone.

 

“Ambulance?” Inuyasha mumbled as he turned his gaze to Kagome.

 

“I'm sorry, Inu. I want you to be looked at. You're not looking good at all,” Kagome replied in concern as tears of worry fell down her cheeks. She put her hand to his weary cheek as he raised his hand to hers to wipe away the tears. She kept her eyes on him as his dizzy gaze became more apparent. “Inu, stay with me, please. Don't close your eyes!” Kagome pleaded as he dropped his hand and his head fell in her lap.

 

“Thank you.” Sango snapped her phone shut and made her way over to the scene. “The ambulance is on its way. Did he just faint?”

 

“Yeah, I don't know what to do! I don't wanna lose him!” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“You're not gonna lose him, he's just suffering from head trauma.” Miroku stated as he looked at the wound in question, seeing a nice sized goose egg had formed within the few moments they had been talking. “Shit!”

 

 

“What do we do?!” Kagome yelled as Sango hugged her to calm her.

 

“It'll be okay, Kagome. He'll be fine. Listen, I'm going to go to keep a lookout for the ambulance. Stay here and keep tabs on his pulse, okay?” Kagome nodded and turned his head to find the pulse spot on his neck. Sango then grabbed her keys and stepped from the room.

 

By the time Sango made it down to the foyer, the ambulance had showed up and the EMT's were gathering their gear. As they made their way into the foyer with the gurney, Kagome had taken to rocking him and singing to comfort her own nerves as she kept time with his pulse.

 

When the emergency crew came through the door, they immediately started asking questions and began eyeing the injury. They had noticed the bump that had been forming for the past five minutes since the injury had occurred and stated that Inuyasha needed to be rushed to the hospital for observation. Since he was still passed out, they strapped him to the gurney and wheeled him through the door.

 

Kagome requested that she ride with him since she was his girlfriend, which they saw no reason not to oblige her. Miroku and Sango followed in a taxi Sango hailed just after they had stepped through the doors of the dormitory building. Miroku was quite impressed how calm Sango was through the whole ordeal. Along with how she was able to calm Kagome's nerves and help her to know what to do. To him, Sango was a goddess. She was the kind of woman who never missed a trick, resourceful, and knowledgeable. He most certainly loved those qualities in her.

Once Miroku and Sango arrived at the hospital, Inuyasha had already been wheeled into the emergency room and was being treated and looked over. Kagome had already given his information and was sitting in a far-off chair in the waiting room shaking and nervous. Sango and Miroku both sat on each side of her and embraced her in a friendly manner. Sango directed Kagome's head to lay upon her shoulder for comfort as they awaited the word to see their friend.

 

After about an hour, a doctor stepped through the doors of the emergency room and called for Kagome. She stood and followed him through the double doors, leaving Miroku and Sango behind. As they walked through the halls, he explained the seriousness of the injury and made sure to say that Inuyasha was all right and that there was nothing to worry about. By the time he had explained it all to her, they had arrived at his room in the intensive care unit. As she stepped inside, the doctor let the door shut behind her and then returned to tell her friends not to worry.

 

Kagome quietly stepped towards Inuyasha as he lay unconscious in the bed. There were no bandages on his head that she could see. He was dressed in one of those hospital gowns and hooked up to the heart monitors. When she arrived at his bedside, she grabbed his hand and felt a slight squeeze as his eyes opened slightly and his head turned her way.

 

“Hi. How do you feel?” Kagome asked as her eyes began to fill with tears again.

 

He groaned as he replied with, “Groggy. Out of it.”

 

Kagome sniffled as she pulled the chair closer and sat down, his gaze following her eyes. “I'm glad you're okay. That was scary. I was so worried that you weren't going to wake up again.”

 

“You know that wouldn't happen, babe,” he replied with another groan, “I'm strong, you know that.”

 

“Yeah, but you never told me you had a concussion before. I thought it was worse than it was.” Kagome pointed out.

 

“Sorry about that. I did mean to tell you at some point. I just didn't expect it to be after I pass out from another head injury,” he replied with a slight smile.

 

“Well, neither of us knew Sango was going to walk in on us…Man…I bet we gave them quite a scare, huh?” Kagome chuckled, gaining a wider smile from him.

 

“Yeah, who woulda thought,” Inuyasha replied with another groan as his eyes clenched shut in pain.

 

“What's wrong?” Kagome asked in concern, thinking it wasn't over yet.

 

“Man…My head hurts something terrible. How bad was it?” he groaned as he tried to lift his head from the pillow, only to quit because of more pain.

 

“Don't raise it. The pressure is helping to stop the bleeding and anymore swelling. Just try to relax,” Kagome said as she ran her hand through his silver bangs in comfort.

 

“Well, what happened?” Inu asked.

 

“You've had ten stitches. You hit your head in the sharp corner of the desk when you rolled off the bed. I bet you saw some nice stars, huh?” Kagome mentioned as she gained an odd look from him.

 

“No, I actually lost my sight for a moment there…I think…” He mentioned as he looked off into space in thought, trying to recall the events, but memories were splotchy. “I can't remember all of it.”

 

“Don't worry. It'll come back to you. I guess I'll have to wait for a few days to see if you feel well enough to do the interview, huh?” Kagome said as she began to brush a strand of hair from the corner of his mouth.

 

“Yeah. Sorry about that.” He replied as his eyes adjusted a bit more and then fell to their hands as his thumb ran over her soft skin. “Kagome, I'm sorry if it went a bit too far. I just don't want to…You know, I…”

 

“Don't worry about it, Inu. I'm not upset. We've been together for a while now, and we've made such a strong connection that I'm not afraid of whether or not you respect me,” Kagome explained, gaining a bit of a surprised look from him.

 

“So then, you're not mad or anything? That it…You know…Got almost too intense back there?” Inuyasha asked innocently.

 

“No, I'm not mad. I want to be close to you. I love you.” She replied as she leaned down, pressed her lips to his hand and then leaned further forward to kiss his lips. As they kissed tenderly, he brought his free hand up to embrace the back of her neck and hold her to him to prolong the kiss a bit longer as the door clicked open.

 

Kagome stood up, turned bashfully and reacted with, “Oh, hey guys,” as she fixed herself in embarrassment at being caught once again in a private moment with Inu.

 

“Well, the doctor told us about how bad the injury is. I'm so sorry. I thought you had gone to bed when I saw the light had gone out,” Sango explained as Kagome stepped from the bedside and wrapped her arms around Sango in acknowledgement.

 

“Its okay, Sango. It's not a bad thing that you walked in on us. To be truthful, if you hadn't…” Kagome paused as she leaned back and looked her in the eye, “things might have gotten much more complicated.”

 

Sango's cheeks became flushed as Miroku stepped past the two women and greeted his injured friend with, “Hey, Inu. How's it hanging?”

 

“Tsch…It isn't. So, you didn't see too much, did you?” Inu replied as Miroku tapped his right shoulder and took the chair.

 

As the girls tried to console each other on what happened, Miroku explained how surprised he was at how interesting things were getting. Inuyasha explained the relationship in manly banter as the girls decided to leave the room to grab something to drink and calm their nerves. Finally being alone, Miroku and Inu had a nice man-to-man chat about their girls and the relationships. Apparently, neither couple was too much further than the other, save for the slight inch Inu had gained on Miroku with that night's excitement.

 

“So, what's it gonna take for you two to get to this point, eh?” Inuyasha asked with a wink.

 

“Well, we're comin' along just fine. I'm not just aiming to get to second base, ya know,” Miroku replied with a chuckle.

 

“Well, that wasn't my intention either, but I'm glad she's okay with it,” Inuyasha shrugged as he glanced towards the door for a moment in thought.

 

“Man, you have always had such a way with the ladies. It's not all that surprising,” Miroku stated.

 

“Yeah, right. You've been with more girls than I have. I think you need your brain examined, Miroku.”

 

“Naw, my brain's just in a sort of utopia due to a nice date with Sango,” Miroku said with a comfortable smirk on his face as he leaned back in the chair.

 

“So, what qualities do ya love in her?” Inuyasha asked curiously.

 

“Her personality, her looks of course, and she's good to everyone she's close to. She's shy at first, but she has a good heart and she's one hell of a kisser,” Miroku explained with his eyes closed.

 

“Cool.”

 

“So, what about you? What's got you all over Kagome like we saw earlier?” Miroku asked as he nudged Inuyasha's shoulder slightly.

 

“She kinda did something I didn't expect,” Inuyasha replied.

 

“What did she do?”

 

“She crawled up to me and positioned herself between my legs and pulled my shirt off to eye my chest. She just admired my features and stuff. She totally turned me on, man.”

 

“Whoa…Talk about forward. Wish Sango would do that. Talk about sexy,” Miroku said in disappointment of it happening to his friend and not himself.

 

“Don't worry, man. I bet they're talking about it right now. Sango just might take a hint,” Inuyasha shrugged.

 

“True. Oh well. So, where are you and Kagome going to take this mixture of talents you two possess? You two make one hell of a duo, ya know,” Miroku mentioned.

 

Inuyasha shrugged and replied with, “I guess we'll just have to see. Ya know, I've noticed something interesting.”

 

“What?”

 

“I don't feel right playing when she's not there.” Inuyasha stated and his chummy grin melted as his eyes stared off into space as he continued with, “it feels like I can't perform without her voice.”

 

“Hmm…Sounds like she completes you, huh?” Miroku said as he put two and two together.

 

Inuyasha looked his way with a look of realization. “Ya think so? Huh…”

 

 

@*@

 

 

“So, things are heating up a bit more, huh?” Sango said with a raised eyebrow.

 

Kagome's cheeks became rosy as she shifted her gaze to Sango beside her as they grabbed bottles of drink from the pop machines and then looked around for a table. When they sat down nearest the television, Kagome said, “Thanks for helping to keep us calm with Inuyasha and everything. I had no idea you knew so much.”

 

Sango shrugged as she replied with, “Well, I learned most of what I did in class. That was part of anatomy and physiology class, along with CPR. I needed both classes for my degree.”

 

“Oh. Well, I don't know what I would have done had you guys not shown up. Did you know he had a concussion years ago?” Kagome asked, gaining a nod from Sango.

 

“Yeah, Miroku told me all about it in the cab on the way here. Inuyasha was hit by a baseball in the back of the head while he was riding a bike past a playing field at a park. Miroku said it was pretty bad. The ball knocked him out cold for hours. He didn't even know what hit him. No pain, nothing. Just blacked out as soon as it hit.” Sango explained.

 

“Wow. I bet his skull cracked, huh.”

 

“Yeah. But he's okay, apparently. He just needs to watch it from now on. The more head injuries you have, the worse it gets,” Sango pointed out as she sipped her pop.

 

Kagome bowed her head in thought about having to be very careful with him from now on. It had just hit her that she was the reason he was injured. Just before Sango opened the door, she had her palms on his chest. In reflex, she pushed him off her, but instead of pushing him towards the wall, she pushed him towards the floor. If only she hadn't done that.

 

Sango noticed Kagome had gone silent and looked her way. With the look in her eyes as her troubled gaze stared down the table made it easy for Sango to read her thoughts through her eyes. Sango reached across the table and put her hand on Kagome's shoulder as she assured her with, “Kagome, it wasn't your fault. I'm sure he'll never allow you to blame yourself.”

 

Kagome shook her head and replied with, “No, it was my fault. I could have pushed him towards the wall, but I didn't! It's my fault!”

 

“But it was out of instinct, wasn't it? You can't put fault on instinct. I'm certain he knows that, Kagome…”

 

“I can't believe I did that to him…” Kagome cut in as she shook her head in shame.

 

Sango moved to the chair next to her and put both hands on her shoulders as she said, “No, its okay. I bet that in the future you two will look back on this night and what happened. And when you do, I'm sure you'll both laugh. Honestly, Kagome, you won't remember how worried you were. You'll laugh over it.”

 

Kagome shot her eyes to Sango's gaze in question, “Yeah! You will! If you think about it, that was pretty funny. You two were getting serious and the heat was rising when suddenly, the most embarrassing thing happened. Your best friend, whose bed you two were making out on, walked in the door and saw you two going at it! C'mon! Ya have to laugh at that!”

 

“But he was injured and was bleeding, Sango! How can I laugh about it now?” Kagome asked.

 

“Because he's all right, that's why! He's not dead, he's not in any danger. He's fine! Just relax, and remember, it's over, okay?” Sango reassured her once again.

 

Kagome looked into Sango's sincere eyes and realized her friend was right. She nodded and Sango's frame relaxed. After a brief smile, Sango moved back to the other chair and sipped her pop as Kagome once again turned her eyes to the table.

 

As Sango's gaze turned to the television to watch the late night stand up show, the night's events of earlier ran through Kagome's mind. How she was towards him. How his music flowed through her mind. How he kissed her and held her to him. She loved it when he settled over her form. It felt as if their bodies were meant to be together. He wasn't too heavy above her, and he was gentle with every touch. When he slipped his hands under her top and up the skin on her back, she felt shivers all the way down her spine. She was wondering how much further he was going to go when she heard a click from the door and adrenaline shot through her as she pushed his heavy muscle built body to the floor. Her heart had been pumping a mile a minute when she realized what had just happened within a matter of seconds. They had been caught in the act.

 

If Sango hadn't walked in, she might have given herself to him. She might not have noticed it until it was too late. She hadn't really thought too much about her chastity since she didn't really have many boyfriends to worry about. Sure, she had guys who had been friends of hers throughout school, but that was about it. When it came to Inuyasha, things had been so perfect and moving faster than her heart could handle. She had spent almost every day with him since they met, and she had become so comfortable with him that she didn't really think about how far she really wanted to go with him.

 

Yes, seeing his chiseled body naked before her earlier that evening, she felt the need to lick and kiss him all over. It felt as if she was dreaming. She wanted to know for certain if he truly did look that way, or if her eyes were playing tricks on her. But when she felt his chest and the taught muscles under his soft skin, she knew she wasn't seeing things. As her thoughts continued to think about how delicious he looked, she became a bit wet between the thighs.

 

Sango looked at her friend and looked to the table. It seemed as if Kagome was seeing a delicious piece of Tiramisu sitting before her. Sango giggled a bit and waved her hand in front of Kagome's face. Kagome shot up in her seat and gathered her breath as she was plunged back into reality once again.

 

“Wow…He's got you wrapped around him already in your mind. I think you're gone, girl,” Sango said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

 

“What? No.”

 

“Oh yeah! You were licking your lips as if someone had set a huge piece of Tiramisu in front of you! You were gone, girl! Man, if only Inu saw you like this, he'd die!” Sango shouted as she lost it and started laughing. Kagome blushed once again and moved her chair from the table as she got up and turned towards the door of the cafeteria. “Kags, c'mon! I was just kidding!” Sango shouted as she watched her embarrassed friend walk through the doors. Sango decided to let her friend be as she just sat back and enjoyed the show on the television.

After his chat with Inuyasha, Miroku decided to head on down by the girls and maybe let him sleep for a bit. As he pushed the button for the elevator, the door opened a moment later and he locked eyes with Kagome. “Oh, hey, Kagome. Is Sango still down in the cafeteria?”

 

Kagome nodded and asked, “Inu still awake?”

 

Miroku nodded and stepped aside for her to leave the elevator. When she stepped past, he watched her step around the corner. He then shrugged, entered the elevator and pushed the button for the lower level floor.

 

As Kagome came up to Inuyasha's room, she softly turned the doorknob and entered silently, so she wouldn't disturb him in case he had fallen asleep. As she came within sight of his bed, his head turned her way and she smiled. He smiled back with, “Hi.”

 

“Hi, baby. You feel okay?” Kagome asked as she held his hand.

 

“Better. The painkillers are starting to take affect. You okay? You seem like…Something's wrong.”

 

“No, I'm fine. I was just thinking about what happened, and I feel that it was all my fault, but Sango said it was an accident because I pushed you off on instinct.”

 

“Yeah. It's okay, Kagome. I'm not mad, and I don't blame you for this. We both were treading on unstable ground because we were out in the open and we had no idea when Sango was going to arrive. It's over and done with, Kagome. I'm fine, just a little banged up is all,” he replied as he turned their hands to lace their fingers together. “I actually think it was kinda funny.”

 

“You do?” Kagome asked in shock.

 

“Yeah! I mean, c'mon. How often does stupid stuff like that happen? I'm sure it happens to everyone at least once. I mean, we were gonna get caught by someone at some point, weren't we?” he asked with a shrug and a smile.

 

“Yeah, I guess,” Kagome replied with a chuckle.

 

She finally felt better about what happened due to him being calm about it. The way he was looking at her, it was as if nothing had happened. She gazed into his golden pools and lost herself once again as he slowly sat up and leaned his face towards hers. She held still as his forehead touched hers and their eyes closed simultaneously. They sat in the hospital room in the comfortable silence for a while as Sango and Miroku laughed down in the cafeteria at the stand up comics on the television.

Well, everyone, this chapter was fun to write. Yeah, kinda dramatic with Inuyasha getting injured, but I think it's kinda cute the way things happened. And don't worry, the interview should take place in the next chapter. I just hope that I can write the questions and answers word for word. Also, I've never taken a journalism class. So, if anything seems a bit off or doesn't make any sense and any of you (my readers) have taken journalism classes, feel free to give me pointers or comments on what I've done so far. At this point, Kagome knows more than I do, obviously…Anyways, I hope this chappy satisfies y'all after that annoyingly huge dry spell. And once again, I appreciate your patience and I look forward to your comments. Well, ja ne for now!
