InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Trucker ❯ Chapter 9

Inuyasha was skeptical about leaving for his next job. Keitaro had gotten back with his truck early. By now, Inuyasha had his face in the newspapers. Going through Tokyo, he'd definitely have assassins on his butt from Haitani's gang. He sighed, bent over the map. New Year's was almost here, and that was when Inuyasha really wanted to propose to her then. A day before Christmas and a week before New Year's, so yes, his nerves were shot.

 

 

He shook his head from those thoughts and traced a highway going behind Mount Fuji and away from Tokyo. That might work, but he'd still have to go through Kyoto and Kanagawa. He might be able to stop in Hinata, but he really didn't want to. If he was lucky, he might make it in twelve hours. With a stock of food and about three or four bathroom stops, he'd be able to make it. But there was always the thought of leaving Kagome alone for that long.

 

 

Sighing, he stood up and went over to the living room. Kagome was lying on the couch, watching television. She lifted the upper half of her body a bit so he could sit down, and then put her head in his lap. He stroked her hair lovingly. “How's the trail coming?” she asked lazily.

 

 

“Badly. I can't really go through any major cities; I might get caught by Ginta's gang.” He said a troubled look on his face. “I saw one highway that only went through Hinata, but the only major building in that town is a girl's dorm.”

 

 

“Yeah, I know. I kind of wanted to go a couple years back.” she said wistfully.

 

 

“How come you didn't?” he asked, slightly confused.

 

 

Kagome looked up at him, rolling over to get a full view of his face. “I started thinking about it about a week before you called when you were on the road and found out that your mom had died. I couldn't leave you then.”

 

 

A pang of guilt slammed into Inuyasha's heart. “You really wanted to go.”

 

 

“Yeah, I did.” She sighed. “But it's okay, I like it better here. Plus, I don't know how I'd live without you, Sango, Shippo, Kira and Miro. And I'm pretty sure that this,” she leant up and kissed him gently, “wouldn't have happened.”

 

 

Inuyasha smiled down at her. “Do you still want to go?”

 

 

Kagome shrugged, “It might be nice. I mean, come on. It's an all-girls dormitory, a natural hot spring right in there. Only downside is that the landlord is a guy.” Inuyasha growled slightly, “Oh hush, you.”

 

 

They were silent for a moment before Inuyasha spoke. “I think we should both go to college.”

 

 

“We'd have to go to prepatory school first.” she said.

 

 

“Nah, we're both smart enough.”

 

 

“Yash, you haven't been to school since we went to Aoyama high.” she said bluntly.

 

 

“So? It's only been six years.” he smirked.

 

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. “We'll try, but only if you can get Miro and Sango to do it too.”

Inuyasha and Kagome had taken a shower together, and Kagome got out early. Inuyasha got out a few minutes later. While drying his hair, he couldn't find any gel. “Kag! Where do you keep your hair gel?” he shouted.

 

 

“Cabinet above the sink.” she shouted back. He opened up the cabinet and looked up and down for the gel. He plucked it off the bottom shelf, but couldn't help but notice how many meds she had in there. He glanced over at the closed door, and then he picked up a box.

 

 

“Morning-after pills?” he said quietly. No wonder he hadn't smelt a pup growing inside of Kagome yet. He growled some, but put the box back where it was and finished getting dressed. Kagome came back into the bathroom a bit later and wrapped her arms around him. “Kag, how come there are morning-after pills in your cabinet?” he asked, spiking his bangs up. The rest of his hair was in a ponytail at the nape of his neck. He turned around in her arms to find a shameful look.

 

 

“Kag?” he asked.

 

 

“I'm not ready to have a baby, yet, Yash,” she said quietly.

 

 

Inuyasha placed two fingers under her chin and lifted her head, causing her to look into his eyes. Kagome tried to look away. “Kag, look at me,” she did. “Is it because of me?” he asked.

 

 

Kagome shook her head violently. “No!” she cried, “I'm just not ready yet, Yash.”

 

 

He bent and kissed her gently on the lips, “Let me know when you are,” he whispered.

 

 

Nodding, Kagome leant forward some to rest her forehead onto his chest. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, slightly massaging her lower back.

 

 

“Are you mad, Yash?” she asked quietly.

 

 

Inuyasha shook his head, “Nah... Just a little hurt.”

 

 

Kagome lifted her head to look up at him, getting slightly teary-eyed. “Please don't be...” she whispered.

 

 

Staring at her for a moment, he shook his head, breaking their embrace and heading for his own bedroom. “Yash, please,” she jogged after him, tears coming down her face.

 

 

Inuyasha stopped at his door and turned around. “Why aren't you ready?” he asked simply.

 

 

Kagome stammered for a moment. “We're not married, Yash! We're not even mates! Hell, we're not even engaged!” she cried.

 

 

He stared at her blankly. “We're not mates because you won't let me mark you. We're not engaged or married yet, but I'm actually planning it.”

 

 

“I don't want to be fat in my wedding dress,” she whined.

 

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, “Fine,” he said, staring at her puppy dog pout, “I could never resist your pout.” He grinned and kissed her on the lips. She returned the kiss happily, moving closer to him and wrapping her arms around him. He took her into his embrace and licked her lower lip, asking for entrance once again. She complied and he explored her mouth once again, cupping the back of her head with his hand.

The full moon came a couple days before New Year's, and Inuyasha took refuge in his room, the door locked.

 

 

“Yash, please come out!” Kagome whined from the other side of the door.

 

 

“Not until the sun rises,” he replied quickly. He ran his fingers through his black hair, grumbling to himself. He didn't look like he usually did. He was still exceptionally muscular, but now his ears had become the usual human's ears instead of his puppy ears, his hair was now black, his eyes were a deep violet, and his fangs and claws had disappeared.

 

 

Kagome growled, “Don't make me get the spare key to your room.”

 

 

Inuyasha sprang up and moved his dresser in front of the door. “Do your worst, woman, I'm not coming out.”

 

 

“You have a balcony too, I can climb up the fire escape to get to it,” she said, obviously pissed off at him.

 

 

There was a clink as Inuyasha locked his balcony doors and put a pole behind one so it wasn't able to slide. “Sorry, Kag, but I'm not coming out.”

 

 

“Inuyasha,” she shouted, “Get your ass out here now!”

 

 

“What part of `no' don't you understand? I'm not coming out,” he said.

 

 

“That's it, either you come out or you're not getting any sex for a month,” she said sternly.

 

 

“Are you mad, woman? I'll go nuts!” he cried.

 

 

“Go find a prostitute,” she said, leaning against the wall.

 

 

Inuyasha quirked a brow, “Then you'd kill me.”

 

 

“Exactly. Then I'll get all of your money and I can buy all the male prostitutes I want,” she heard Inuyasha growl and she smirked.

 

 

“You're mean,” he grunted as he moved his dresser away from the door and unlocked it. “But I'm warning you, I look different than usual.”

 

 

Kagome opened the door with a smirk, and looked around for his beaming golden eyes. Of course, she didn't find them, but instead found downcast violet ones. “Yash? Is that you?” she asked.

 

 

Inuyasha nodded, “Unfortunately.”

 

 

“What happened to you?” she sat down next to him on the bed, moving some of his hair away from his face.

 

 

“It's the full moon, I'm a half demon. Every half demon loses their demon blood for one night a month, and this is mine,” he said, a shameful look on his face, “I hate this form.”

 

 

Kagome smiled, “How come? I think it's cute.”

 

 

“I don't have my ears,” he whined.

 

 

“Ah. Well when do they come back?”

 

 

“Morning,” he replied grumpily.

 

 

Kagome lay down on the bed, putting her head into his lap. Inuyasha stroked her hair. He missed his eyes right now, because they could see through the dark. While human, he couldn't.

 

 

“Yash?” she nudged him, causing him to look down. “Does this happen every month?” he nodded, “How did you keep it away from everyone?”

 

 

“Well,” he began, “It happens at night, so I would go to school normally, but at night I'd stay home up in my room.”

 

 

Kagome nodded in thought, “I was wondering why you'd always stay in your room, but it never occurred to me that they might have a reason.”

 

 

Inuyasha sighed, and then looked back down at Kagome. “Do you wanna go out to the balcony?”

 

 

“Only if you're comfortable with it,” she replied.

 

 

He nodded and took her into his arms, headed for her balcony.
