InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Sparrows in A Hurricane ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Sitting high in the sacred tree, Inuyasha muttered to himself.
"Dammit! Why does she always do that?"
His fist punched the tree.
"I'll show her! I won't go back for her. She can just stay in her time if that's what she wants so much!"
His anger started to fade as he realized he missed her already. Her scent had faded from the air. That feeling was in his gut again. The feeling of loneliness. Even though his friends, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaede were close by, he didn't care. It was Kagome he wanted. His Kagome. Her sweet fragrance of summer dew mixed with subtle honeysuckle, her beautiful brown eyes that showed so much expression, her creamy, porcelain skin that was so soft to his touch. His mind drifted to the times he had watched her bathing while on their journey. He had always told the monk he needed to take a walk, and his walks always took him to her. He always told himself it was to make sure she was safe. And it always ended up the same. His body reacting in a way he wished it wouldn't. He'd have to jump far away and hide. Hide his dirty little secret. His muscle would get so hard and stiff from watching her in the water, and it wouldn't take long to get a release. And while his hand pumped his muscle, he imagined it was Kagome's hand, as he closed his eyes and ...
"Hey Inuyasha, what are you doing?"
"Huh? Whaaa?", he realized he had been rubbing himself absentmindedly when the kitsune appeared. WHACK! The kitsune went flying, landing in the arms of Miroku below.
"Inuyasha, I don't think Shippou deserved that!", Miroku admonished.
"He was disturbing me and I don't want to be disturbed.", came a gruff reply from the leaves.
"He sure was acting weird.", Shippou confided in Miroku.
"Oh, what do you mean, Shippou?"
"He was rubbing the front of his pants and I swear he was moaning.", Shippou whispered in Miroku's ear, lest the hanyou above him heard what he said. He didn't want another beating.
Miroku chuckled heartily at what Shippou told him, 'So, even Inuyasha has those thoughts, huh?', Miroku thought to himself, merrily.
"Where's Kagome, Inuyasha?", Shippou called up to the hanyou.
"Home, you runt, where she said she was going."
"No wonder he's in a bad mood. We better leave him alone, Shippou.", Miroku said to the little fox as they turned to leave.
'Bout damn time', Inuyasha thought, but alas, his problem was gone, 'HMPH, cold water and a kid. Both can destroy a good dream.'
He jumped down from the tree and headed to the well.
'How do you do this to me, Kagome? I never felt like this with Kikyou.' , he thought as he knelt down by the well, crossing his arms over the wood.
In the future
"Stupid Inuyasha! Why didn't he just tell me wanted he wanted to say? Why did he have to try to forbid me to go?" Kagome spoke to herself as she walked into her house.
"Hi, sis. Welcome home! What did you say?" her little brother asked from the living room as she closed the shoji.
"Hi Souta. Oh nothing."
"Is Inuyasha with you?", Souta asked, excitedly.
"NO HE'S NOT!", she fumed at her brother.
"Geez. I was only askin'. Don't hafta bite my head off."
"I'm sorry, Souta."
"Oh, honey, you're home. Welcome back.", her mom said as she walked into the living room.
"Hi mom.", Kagome said, not quite happily.
Kagome's mother, sensing her daughter's unhappiness, decided to help alleviate the stress.
"How about I fix you a nice, hot bath and then I'll cook some oden for dinner?", her mother suggested.
"Oh mom, you're the greatest. That'll be wonderful. I'm just going to go upstairs to my room and rest.", Kagome said as she headed up the stairs.
Kagome plopped her backpack down on her bedroom floor and flumped on the bed, curling her pillow under her head. A familiar "Meow" was heard as Buyo hopped up beside her. Soon her bath was ready and she removed her outfit and put it in the wash. She climbed in the water and sank down until only her head was left out. She sighed.
'I was horrible to Inuyasha. I know better than to try to force things out of him. He's not used to sharing his feelings. He really wanted to talk to me about us. He actually said it was about US. And then I go on about wanting to return home. He's right. What if the well closes up? What if he can't get through to get me? And then I sit him. Ohh. When will I learn to stop relying on that rosary?', her thoughts raced in her head.
Kagome bathed and got dressed in a blue sweater and skirt and went downstairs to enjoy dinner with her family. She tried to put her thoughts out of her mind, but one thought stayed put. Would the well allow Inuyasha through?
The days crept by. Three. Then four. Still, Inuyasha didn't come for her. She was getting worried. Was he that mad at her or did the well close up. She tried to go through the well, but just as she feared, she didn't go through.
'Inuyasha is my only hope of getting back to the past', she thought, sadly.
The next day, after arriving home from school, Kagome was sitting in her room trying to study, when her mom called up to her.
"Kagome, come here. There's a package for you."
"Ok mom.", Kagome called back down as she wondered, 'A package. Who would send me a package?'
Going downstairs, she found her mom in the kitchen and on the table sat a small box, wrapped in brown paper. She opened the box to reveal a satin pouch. Opening the pouch she revealed,
"Ohhhhh my," Kagome breathed.
"What is it dear?", her mother said, turning around from the stove.
"A pearl necklace. A black pearl necklace. It's beautiful.", Kagome cooed.
"Who sent it to you?" her mother asked, curiously.
Kagome looked over the box and pouch and said, "I don't know. There's no note. And no return address either."
Kagome put the necklace on. It was a perfect length, not too long or too short.
"You must have a secret admirer, dear. I like his tastes.", her mother commented, as she turned back to her cooking.
Lost in her thoughts, Kagome played with the necklace in her fingers as she walked outside and over to the sacred tree and WHAM!
"Watch where you're going, wench!"
"Inuyasha?", Kagome said in surprise.
"Who the hell else would it be?", Inuyasha said, folding his arms across his chest.
"You're here!", Kagome yelled, as she flung her arms around his neck, overjoyed at seeing him.
Oi! Woman! The ears! You can be loud sometimes!", Inuyasha said to her.
She backed away, as if really seeing him for the first time. "I was worried the well wouldn't let you through.", she said.
"Oh, you sit me, go flying home and THEN you worry about the well closing up? I think you've got your priorities mixed up, missy!"
"Ooooooo! Why do you always have to start with me!"
"You started it!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"Inuyasha ... SIT BOY!"
"Uhhhh", THWUMP!
"DAMN IT WOMAN! I WISH I COULD SIT YOU!"
THWUMP!
