InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Sides ❯ Curiosity ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

“MIROKU! What the hell are you doing here?” Inuyasha yelled at him as the cowering monk stood up and started stepping back from the fierce half-demon.

“Well Inuyasha, there is a perfectly good explanation to your question. Y…Y…You see Inuyasha. I had heard half the conversation when I came to see if you made up!” Miroku yelled as he ran from Inuyasha who was right on his tail.

Kagome stood to the side of the river where she had been before watching the whole ordeal as Inuyasha chased the frightened monk. Sango had started coming up the hill just in time to see Inuyasha corner Miroku to a tree before Miroku ducked at the hand coming at his fist and ducked to the side and kept running.

“Hi Kagome. I tried to keep him from coming.” Sango said coming over and stood next to Kagome.

“It's alright. So where are Kilala and Shippo?” Kagome asked looking around and noticing that the demon cat and kit were not present.

“Well they are at Kadae's (I don't know how to spell. If you know let me know). They hopefully are still there. So aren't you going to sit Inuyasha?” Sango asked looking at Inuyasha who now held Miroku by his outer robes.

“Inuyasha.” Kagome said looking at him with seriousness and amusement. He got the hint and looked back at Miroku then dropped him and walked over and stood next to Kagome. Sango, seeing this got a knowing look on her face and smiled.

“Let's get back before the others come. That's all we need.” Inuyasha said as he and Kagome began walking back to the village.

Sango waited a moment, giving them a good distance then followed. Miroku coming up next to her. Sango glared at him out of the corner of her eye as he just smiled innocently and kept looking straight ahead.

“I can't believe you.” There was a small pause.

 

“So what happened?” Sango asked looking at him and paying brief attention to Kagome and Inuyasha to make sure they weren't listening.

Miroku gave a sly smirk and chuckled a bit. “Punish then pry. How about I give you a…small show of it.” He leaned into her slowly, his eyes closed. Sango blushed deep, then felt his hand on her butt and smacked him hard across the face. She walked faster into the village, not realizing they were already there and Inuyasha and Kagome were out of site. She fumed to herself as she walked into Kadae's hut leaving a certain swirlly eyed monk twitching on the ground with one thought going through his lecherous head, it was worth it.

Sango walked into the hut and didn't seeing either Kagome or Inuyasha. She assumed they were outside so she didn't worry about it. No longer had she settled herself in the hut near the fire that burned in the tiny pit, Miroku walked through the door and sat against the wall, his cheek still a bright red shade and a smile on his face. `Hentai.' Sango thought to herself and settled herself in for bed. Kilala and Shippo walked in and also settled themselves in. Shippo on Kagome's sleeping bag which was laid out near the wall nearest Sango and Kilala rested over next to Sango. Miroku got comfortable and fell asleep.

OUTSIDE THE HUT

When Inuyasha and Kagome had returned the village, Inuyasha had taken them to Goshinkibou, the opposite side of where they came from. He rested them upon his normal branch, her sitting in between his legs with her back leaning against his chest. He had his arms wrapped around her waist, her hands on top of his. Kagome rested her head against his shoulder. She stifled a yawn and Inuyasha could tell she was tired. He took off his outer robe carefully so as not to wake the half asleep Kagome. He gently placed it on her and wrapped his arms tighter around her pulling her closer to himself.

Kagome snuggled into his extra warmth and whispered a quick goodnight. Then threw him off guard with an “I love you.” He kisses her gently yet passionately. He pulled away leaving her breathless and whispered I love you back. She snuggled to him more and fell asleep in a place she felt safe. Sure she had felt safe when he was near but being there in his arms made her feel like she could hide from the world and he would protect her. She felt like nothing else mattered. Inuyasha was in the same bliss that she was before she had fallen asleep. There he was, with the love of his life, the girl who had taught him to trust again and the girl that loved him for him, lying in his arms.

He knew Kikyo had been there at the river and he knew she heard him and he was glad. It might make things easier for him when he had to tell her the truth. He wanted to put her to rest but if she kept on like this, hurting his friends and his love and betraying him he had no choice then to rid of her. But for now, all he wanted was to be here, in this moment, with Kagome in his arms and peaceful. Tomorrow he would deal with Kikyo. Tomorrow he would heal the wounds he had put on Kagome's heart from running off to Kikyo. Tomorrow, he would finally put her to rest. Inuyasha sensed around, checking to make sure there were no demons around, then seeing there wasn't he laid his head on top of Kagome's and fell into a dreamless, yet peaceful sleep.

THE NEXT MORNING

Kagome opened her eyes then quickly closed them due to the fact that the sun was shining right in her eyes. Behind her she heard a light chuckle. Sitting up she realized that she was still in the Goshinkibou and it was Inuyasha who was laughing.

“And what is so funny?” Kagome asked turning her head to look into Inuaysha's golden eyes.

“For one, the fact that you can tell if its day and two your face squinted like Shippo's.” he said with a smirk.

“Hey!” came a cry from the ground said. They looked down to see Shippo, Kilala and the others standing under the tree looking up at them.

“Have some fun last night Inuyasha?” Miroku asked with a grin. A second later the monk was once again lying on the ground sporting a handprint on his cheek.

“Why Sango?” Miroku asked in a fake innocence. She ignored him and looked back up the two who were still in the same spot.

“Kagome there is a hot spring near bye. Want to go?” She asked looking up at her friend with pleading eyes. Not saying what she really wanted to talk about but also explaining it to Kagome.

“Sure!” she said enthusiastically. She tried to sit up but was pulled back against a firm chest. “Come on Inuyasha. Pleeeeeeeeease!” She asked looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

`How can I not fall for that face?'

“Fine.” Kagome grinned and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips.

They parted and Inuyasha said “Yeah and you owe me when you get back.”

He didn't give her time to respond because he had jumped down from the tree, set her down and leaped away.

“Wonder where he's going?” Sango asked walking back to the hut to get her things for the springs.

Kagome got a sad face having second doubts in her head then headed into the hut to get her things as well. They walked back out of the hut to see Miroku with Kadae in the fields picking herbs and Shippo and Kilala there also. So the girls headed off to the springs. Unfortunately they didn't know someone was there, and expecting them.
