InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Un cuento de dos amores(A tale of two loves) ❯ recollections3 ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: Blah blah blah, don't own Inuyasha.

 

Soon after cleaning up after lunch I had made a quick change of clothing opting for a white calf length flowery skirt and a fitting black tank with black sandals. I had been dying to wear it but sandals in the feudal era never seemed appropriate.

 

Dragging a very grumpy Inuyasha to the bus stop I was faced with a situation I never came across in the feudal era. A few Junior High school girls waiting for the bus were staring at Inuyasha. I did a double take to make sure his doggy ears hadn't miraculously popped out of his head but he still sported the long black hair; still good looking.

 

I then realized that even though Inuyasha was devilishly handsome both as a human and a hanyou, in the feudal era no one would dare look at him this way because of the fact he was a hanyou. It saddened me to know that no one but our group of friends would ever know that there was more to him, that he was kind, compassionate, sweet -sometimes, and it was all because of what he was. Why was it so hard for people to just love him like I do?

 

Climbing onto the bus I pulled Inuyasha in and we took seats at the very back. Maybe subconsciously I was simply trying to get him far away from prying eyes.

 

He took a seat next to me and I was surprised at how close he decided to sit. I looked back over at him and found he was looking at the window with his arms crossed and looking slightly peeved.

 

The bus took off and the girls who were only a few seats away were constantly turning to sneak glances at Inuyasha and giggling. He was either really good at ignoring them or was completely oblivious to the whole thing because his position or scowl didn't waver. His whole body did, it slid slowly even closer to mine. Before I could even register how close our bodies truly were he leaned over and spoke, “Kagome why in seven hells are those annoying little girls staring at me like that?”

 

Hmm maybe because your hot? I laughed in my head at my own brashness. “Maybe it's your robe, but don't worry we'll get you some new clothes soon enough.” I found myself patting his knee to reassure him, like I had done to Sota many times before but realized that maybe that had been inappropriate of me, after all human Inuyasha hated to be touched.

 

“Keh.”

 

I took a deep breath, it was clear he hadn't minded. But he was still annoyed at the attention from the girls. There was only one way to get them to stop, but Inuyasha might not be so enthusiastic.

 

“Do you really hate it?” I whispered back.

 

“Yeah I feel like I'm some specimen.”

 

Be brave Kagome I chanted, he's just a friend he's just a friend he won't freak out he won't freak out. “Then hold my hand.”

 

I expected him to jump up and shout obscenities about how ridiculous I was, I even expected him to leap at the girls, I was NOT ready for him to simply reach over and take my hand and place it in his lap.

 

Eventually when my heart started up again and my body had quit doing it's little freaking out bit I realized that the girls had stopped staring and completely turned around.

 

“Why did that make them stop?” He whispered.

 

I found myself truly embarrassed to respond so I simply gave him the run around. “It's a long story.” This seemed to suite him just fine. And me too.

 

Two stops later the girls all made their way off the bus and I was expecting him to immediately drop my hand and scoot over, but when he didn't I found that I was truly confused at his new behavior. Surely he knew that this was a sign of affection. Right? I found myself confused for 3 more stops before we had to get off at the mall.

 

Standing up we had to detach our hands from each other and I instantly missed its touch and warmth. Somehow even though we only held each others hands for a few minutes, it just seemed right to me. As the bus pulled away I told Inuyasha that we were here and which stores we were heading to first. He simply nodded his head and I assumed he followed what I had said. When we started to make our way into the shopping center my heart leapt into my throat when I felt his soft hand take mine into his again.

 

Oh my god. Oh my god. Relax Kagome get a hold of yourself! Do not look like a fool.

 

After many mantras I found myself relaxed and decided not to care why he was doing this, but simply enjoy it, because for one month this was a side of Inuyasha I never got to see.

 

Turning to give him a smile I dragged him into the first men's clothing store I saw and I could have died on the spot when he returned my smile with one of his own.

 

Yeah I know I'm evil. ^_^ I'm really sorry that this didn't have much going on but I'll update as soon as possible and I revised chapter two. Thanks for the reviews!
