InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Trucker ❯ Chapter 6

Kagome went with Sango to her apartment so she didn't have to face Inuyasha. She instead left a message on his cell, since he wasn't picking up.

 

 

Inuyasha was sitting in bed, staring up at the ceiling, his guitar leaning up against him. He sat up and picked it up and started to play. A few beats in, he started to sing. “As I sit here and slowly close my eyes, I feel the wind pass through me. I'm the one in your soul, reflecting inner light. Protect the ones who hold you, cradling your inner child.” He sang in his deepest of baritones.

 

 

“I need serenity in a place where I can hide. I need serenity. Nothing changes, days go by. Where do we go when we just don't know, and how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control? Tragic visions slowly stole my life. Tore away everything, cheating me out of my time. I'm the one who loves you, no matter wrong or right. And every day I hold you, I hold you with my inner child. I need serenity in a place where I can hide. I need serenity. Nothing changes, days go by. Where do we go when we just don't know, and how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control? Where do we go when we just don't know, and how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control? I need serenity… I need serenity…”

 

 

Inuyasha's cell rang again and he picked it up. He began the song over again, running the lyrics through his head. “Hello?” he hummed to it quietly.

 

 

“Hey Yash.” said Kagome's timid voice. “You alright?”

 

 

“Nope.” he replied simply.

 

 

Kagome recognized the song he was playing and blanched. “Anything I can do?”

 

 

“You wouldn't be willing if I asked you.” he said. “And I don't take pity dates.” he added.

 

 

Kagome sniffled slightly, “I'm sorry, Yash. Really.”

 

 

“Yeah, I know.”

 

 

“If things were different…” she began.

 

 

“No, they're right where they should be.” he said, “Stabbing me in the heart.”

 

 

Kagome closed her eyes, “I'm coming home.”

 

 

“You don't have to; I'm fine on my own.” Inuyasha was about to hang up, but Kagome stopped him, once again.

 

 

“I love you, Yash.” said Kagome quietly.

 

 

“Not in the way I had hoped.” he replied, and then hung up the phone.

 

 

Kagome sobbed, flipping her phone shut and sliding down the wall. Sango looked at her quizzically, and then glanced at Miroku who gave a sympathetic look.

Inuyasha heard her come in the front door, so he kicked his own door shut as he was still playing his guitar. He was singing, but Kagome couldn't make out what. She tried to open his door, but it was locked and he was leaning up against it.

 

 

“Yash?” she said timidly.

 

 

“Go away, Kag.” He said between verses.

 

 

Kagome sobbed, the tears coming back. “Yash, please…”

 

 

“Leave me alone, Kag.” He repeated, strumming away on his guitar.

 

 

Sobbing quietly, she went back into her room. She sat on her bed, legs crossed and her door closed. Glancing at it, she remembered how Inuyasha had knocked it down to get to her, and then fixed it to give back her privacy. She closed her eyes, and then opened them to look at the picture on her dresser. She stood, picking it up and staring at it. Her eighth grade self probably would've kicked her ass for even saying some of those things to Inuyasha. She sighed, putting the picture down and heading out to her balcony. She sat there on the bench, staring up at the stars. “Beyond…” she whispered, tears streaming down her face still.

 

 

From her balcony down the street, Sango saw Kagome. She picked up her cell phone and called Inuyasha. He picked up and answered emotionlessly. “Yeah?”

 

 

“What the hell did you say to Kag? She's out on her balcony crying.” said Sango frantically.

 

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, quieting the strings on his guitar. “I told her to go away and leave me alone.”

 

 

“Why did you do that?” she hissed, careful not to scream because Kagome might hear.

 

 

Inuyasha sighed, “I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now, Sango.”

 

 

“Too fucking bad, what the hell did you do to her?” said the now fuming Sango.

 

 

“She went emo because she thought that I only thought of her as a friend. I finally tell her how I feel about her, and she pushes me farther and farther away. So, screw it. I'm not going to ask her out anymore, I'm not even going to try and fix her problems because she's acting like she doesn't need me at all.”

 

 

“Bullshit!” cried Sango, causing Kagome to glance over. Sango noticed, so she hushed her voice some, “That's not true Yash; she needs you more than she needs me. She really does think of you as more than a friend, but she's just scared of losing her friendship with you.”

 

 

“She wouldn't either way, she just won't realize that. Did she tell you what song I sang for her?” asked Inuyasha.

 

 

Sango shook her head, “Nope.”

 

 

“I sang Silver and Cold by A.F.I. and Serenity by Godsmack. She sang a song that she wrote that was about her crying about everything that ever happened to her. I don't get her. After twelve years, I still do not get her way of thinking.” he said.

 

 

“I don't think she does either. But now, you're driving a wedge between you two. It's hurting her badly, and it's digging into you too. Please go out there and talk to her.” Sango was on the verge of begging.

 

 

Inuyasha sighed, looking out his window at the stars. “Fine.” He hung up the phone and stood up, putting down his guitar onto his bed and heading for Kagome's room. He found it locked, so he sighed and went out the front door to go up the fire escape. He climbed up to the balcony, “Hey.” he said, crossing his arms over the side and putting his chin on them.

 

 

“What do you want?” she snapped at him.

 

 

“You, but that's not really going to happen, is it?” he said, hopping over the edge and sitting next to her. She looked away. “Kag, I'm sorry… I shouldn't have said those things. If you want me to wait, then I will. But try not to make me wait that long, `kay?” he said quietly.

 

 

“I'm sorry too, Yash. I just don't want to lose you as a friend if it doesn't work out between us.” she said.

 

 

Inuyasha looked up to the stars, “If it doesn't, then we'll just go back to being friends. No matter what happens, you'll be able to talk to me. I know for a fact that I could never stop loving you, though.”

 

 

Kagome leaned towards him, putting her head onto his shoulder. She glanced over at Sango's balcony where Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara were staring over at them. “We have an audience.” said Kagome quietly.

 

 

“Yeah, I know… Wanna give them something to stare at?” he turned his head to look at her.

 

 

She shrugged, “Depends on what it is.”

 

 

“Can I kiss you?” he asked timidly.

 

 

Kagome looked slightly uneasy. “Forget that I asked.” said Inuyasha, a hint of disappointment in his voice as he looked up towards the sky.

 

 

“I can't, but I'll tell you what.” She took her head off his shoulder and turned fully towards him, “I'll let you kiss me once, and if it feels okay, then you can ask whenever you want.” she said.

 

 

Inuyasha grinned and leant down, pressing his lips to hers for their fifth time. Kagome felt somewhat stiff at first, but Inuyasha wasn't kissing her like Ginta had. Ginta had a crushing kiss, but Inuyasha's was gentle and caring, and he wasn't pushing anything. It felt right. She melted into the kiss, bringing her arms up and around his neck. They parted some, and Inuyasha looked at her.

 

 

“Well?” he asked.

 

 

“Don't stop.” she whispered.

 

 

“Yes ma'am.” He then kissed her again, wrapping his arms around her and putting a hand behind her head. They heard cheers from Sango's balcony down the street and they both grinned some. Kagome giggled and parted their lips.

 

 

“Let's go inside.” she whispered.

 

 

Inuyasha nodded and picked her up, standing and kissing her again, heading through the glass doors and into Kagome's bedroom. He laid her down onto the bed and lay next to her, keeping their kiss all the way through. He licked her lips slightly, parting his own somewhat. She opened her own mouth and their tongues began the age-old dance.

 

 

They parted and Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her. “We can either continue, or we can go to sleep.”

 

 

“I told you not to stop.” she said with a smirk, taking him by the collar and kissing him again. He grinned into the kiss, exploring her mouth.

The next morning, Inuyasha awoke to a warm body next to his. He smiled to himself and kissed Kagome on the temple, then realized that both of their clothes had been piled on the floor at the foot of the bed. He then remembered last night and smiled to himself wider. He heard his cell phone ringing from his room and grumbled. He didn't want to leave Kagome now that he was next to her.

 

 

Kagome stirred, apparently the ringing of his cell phone reached her ears as well. “Yash, go answer that.” She mumbled. Inuyasha grumbled, but got up and pulled on his boxers then went to go answer the phone.

 

 

“What do you want, Miro?” he said grumpily.

 

There were four voices on the phone, all shouting and talking at once. Sango grabbed the phone and plugged one of her ears. “Yash? How'd it go last night?”

 

 

“Nunya.” he said.

 

 

“Nunya? What's that supposed to mean?” she asked.

 

 

“Nunya business.” he said with a smirk.

 

 

“C'mon, Yash, we're all dying to know!” she said.

 

 

“Then find out from Kag. I'm not willing to disclose what went on last night.” He heard Kagome start the shower and his eyebrow perked. “Anyways, I gotta go. Bye.” he said quickly, hung up and headed for the bathroom. “Mind if I join you?” he purred as he entered the shower with her…

 

 

~

 

 

“Yash, I gotta go to work.” She mumbled into his bare chest sleepily.

 

 

“Another shower?” he asked mischievously.

 

 

Kagome rolled her eyes, “Alone, please. I can't be late again this month.”

 

 

“Fine.” he whined. He locked himself in his own room to keep from hopping in there with her.

 

 

“Bye, Yash! See you when I get home!” she called from the front door.

 

 

“Call me if anything happens, and I might come by later.” he said, poking his head out of his room and walking over to her.

 

 

“Yash…” she said, whining a bit herself.

 

 

He wrapped his arms around her, “Kag… Promise you'll call if you see Hakkaku or Ginta, or if anything happens.”

 

 

“Promise. Now lemme go, I gotta get there before Naraku finds out I'm late.” she said.

 

 

Inuyasha kissed her chastely before letting her go; “Have your cell with you?” he called out the door.

 

 

“Back pocket.” she said over her shoulder as she went down the stairs.

Kagome was waiting on one table when she took a glance at the door. She blanched as she saw Ginta walk in with a few very large-looking men, and turned back around to face the couple. “And for you, miss?” she said politely.

 

 

“A number three, no onions, with a garden salad, ranch dressing, and a lemonade.” said the woman with a smile.

 

 

“Okay, I'll be back with your drinks in a minute.” Kagome smiled, and then glanced back at Ginta who just spotted her. She gulped and dashed back behind the counter and into the kitchen. “Junichi, I need an Akamatsu and lemonade on table 16.” she said to one of the busboys. He nodded and hurried off to get the drinks while Kagome pulled out her cell phone.

 

 

Speed-dialing to Inuyasha, he picked up after one ring. “What's up?”

 

 

“Ginta is here, and he's got about four really big guys with him.” said Kagome worriedly. “I'm in the back kitchens, meet me by the back door.”

 

 

“I'll be there in thirty seconds.” He hung up and pulled on a shirt before running out the door and down a few blocks to Shikon no Tama. He went to the alley that hid the back entrance to the kitchens to find Kagome up against a wall. “Get the fuck away from her!” he shouted.

 

 

Stalking over, he punched one of the huge guys in the nose, causing him to go to his knees holding his nose. He grabbed Haitani by the collar and wrenched him away from Kagome, shoving him towards the wall. “You okay, Kag?” he asked, back to her and glaring at Ginta.

 

 

“Uh-huh.” she said weakly, nursing her wrists where Ginta had been holding them.

 

 

“Good.” he muttered. The huge guys closed in around him, and he glared at them, a considerable size or four smaller than each of them. One of them lunged, but Inuyasha sidestepped him, sending the man hurtling towards the man across from him. The other man dodged, and the man slammed straight into a wall. Inuyasha punched one of the three remaining men in the jaw, and then kicked him in the stomach. His jaw hanging awkwardly and holding his stomach, the man backed off. One of the men came from behind and got Inuyasha into a headlock. Inuyasha grumbled, but then threw his head back and into the other man's forehead. The man yelped and moved backwards, releasing Inuyasha. Inuyasha turned his hips slightly and kicked the man in the side of the head, causing him to fall down. He then kicked him in the side. One left, Inuyasha glared at him. He backed off and ran down the alley.

 

 

Inuyasha looked around for Haitani and found him running the opposing way down the alley. “Go back inside, Kag, I'll get Ginta.” he ordered, and then ran after Ginta. He tackled him, throwing him to the ground. Ginta rolled over and Inuyasha was sitting on top of him. “What did I tell you about Kagome?”

 

 

Ginta looked as if he was about to spit at Inuyasha, but Inuyasha punched him in the jaw. “I told you never to touch her again,” he said. Inuyasha stood, pulling Ginta onto his feet. Inuyasha landed a blow to his stomach, then to his nose. “I told you not to come within 16 yards of her,” Inuyasha's voice was angry. Just the fact that Kagome was his girlfriend showed that by demon rights, and the fact that they had (Inuyasha blushed at the thought) done It, Inuyasha could kill Ginta and wouldn't get in trouble by law.

 

 

Inuyasha pulled out one of the knives he kept on him at all times, pressing it to Ginta's throat. “You do know that Kagome is my girlfriend, right?” Ginta shook his head slightly. “By demon rights, I could kill you for just looking at her wrong. I'm sure you knew that.” Ginta shook his head and Inuyasha increased the pressure on his knife.

 

 

“I didn't know, I thought she was just your friend!” said Ginta in a choked voice.

 

 

“Even if she was, I still would've kicked your ass.” he said. “Any last words?”

 

 

“My brother will kill you for this.” he choked out.

 

 

“Fat chance. But I warned you.” he said with a smirk before slitting the man's throat. He stood and pulled out his cell phone, dialing 911. “Hello? Yeah, I've got an emergency. I just slit a man's throat.” he said, “The alley behind Shikon no Tama. Yes, I know what I've done. Whatever.” He hung up and dialed Kagome's speed-dial number.

 

 

“Yash? Are you okay?” she asked worriedly.

 

 

Inuyasha wiped the blood from his jaw onto his sleeve, “Yeah. Ginta won't be bothering you again.”

 

 

“What did you do, Yash?” she asked sternly.

 

 

He sniffed slightly, “Take a wild guess.”

 

 

Kagome gasped, “Inuyasha, you didn't.”

 

 

“Yeah, I did.” As expected, Inuyasha heard sirens. He leant against the wall, tossing his knife into Ginta's cold chest. “I won't get in trouble for it though, don't worry.”

 

 

“How won't you? Murder is a felony!” she cried.

 

 

“You are my girlfriend, Kag, remember? Any man that messes with my girlfriend, knowing what he's doing, I have a right to kill.” he said as the cops pulled up. “Anyways, cops are here. I'll call you later tonight.”

 

 

“Oh hell no, I'm coming out there.” she said.

 

 

“Kag, don't!” but she had already hung up. He sighed and pushed his cell phone into his pocket.
