InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Unaware ❯ Chapter 14 ( Chapter 15 )

I do not own Inuyasha & Co.

 

Well, I have figured things out at work, as far as I know, and I am back in top form. I'm sorry for my absence as far as Street Musician as that one ended up suffering on the back burner since I had to try to find time in the mornings to write Unaware. Hectic times, call for desperate measures. Now, I should be able to do up another chappy for St. Musician to be posted tomorrow. So, sit back with no worries about my time being free for your entertainment (smiles widely).

 

Reviewer's Corner

 

From Media Miner. Org:

 

Little Tennyo: Oh, no prob, girl. This review is good enough. I am very happy with how the last chapter flowed together. Man, I tell ya, I was shocked how his past came to me. I actually dreamt it! Funky, huh? Oh well. As far as Kikyo's fate is concerned, that just came about as I typed it up. Total surprise to me. I had actually planned a totally different fate for her, but this was what ended up happening (shrug). So, yeah I will update my other fics, so need to worry. It's just taking a bit more time than it used to is all. Hugs and kisses back at ya, bud! (Wink).

 

XxDemonic PrincessxX: LOL! Me neither, but I'm glad you're still enjoying it. And here ya go. Enjoy (wink).

 

From Fan Fiction. Net:

 

Tokyo-Xprss: Thanks, and I'm glad you're happy (smiles widely).

 

Ryous-Crystal: Hey! Long time no hear from! I'm glad you enjoyed that one, and thanks for the wish. I can so use it right now (Glomps you).

 

Kagome M.K: Okay.

 

Owari Nai Yumes: Wow! I've never heard of one of my chappies being called pretty before. I'm glad to hear Chapter 14 is your all time fave. That makes me feel really happy! And yes, it's been interesting now that Inu/Kags are finally together. I originally planned for that to happen. It was just how they made it work that was interesting and fun, don't ya think? As far as Kikyo's shooting, you'll find out soon. Don't wanna spoil it for everyone…I am so glad that you're my true fan, and I will continue pushing out awesome chappies! You can count on me (wink).

 

silver-angel-sakura: Why thank you very much! So, I rock your socks off, huh? What if you're not wearing socks? As far as Kagome ending up prego…we'll just have to see how good Inu's boys are, won't we? (Snickers).

 

Brenda: All righty, I have and promise to (wink). And yeah, you could say that. Go ahead and read on to enjoy the lovin'…heh heh heh…

 

Cold Kikyo: Thanks, and that is the question asked the most. The perp will be revealed soon, I assure you. And yes, it is sad about Kikyo's fate, isn't it?

 

kirarakitty: You do? Wow! Thanks, and I'm glad you stuck it out. Yes, it was rough in the beginning, but I delivered as promised. Honestly, this wasn't how I figured it was going to turn out, but we gained the same results. And I'm glad to have made your day, and the smile on your face means a lot, believe me (winks). And yes, Inu in a hat is pretty sexy (nods with ya). And the hat sits lower on his head than it does in the series, so yeah…very sexay!

 

Spirituality: Wow, thank you very much! I had no idea I was idolized by fellow writers. I would be more than happy to look at your work. I'm always on the lookout for more fiction to read and new styles of writing. I enjoy reading just as much as I do writing. It was through the tons of reading I did in the past two years that convinced me to start my own fan fictions. Have you read any of the other fics I've posted so far? Believe me, there's more to come (winks). The compliments are well appreciated, I assure you. I am glad you left a comment, and I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the last.

 

heymary: You're very welcome, and I assure you…I don't really like Oliver twist endings. I am mainly all for Inu/Kags pairings, so no worries there. And yeah, I did figure that you're a dudette. Me too!

 

 

A/N: Anyways, just to let ya know…since that last chappy, there will be plenty of antics of an adult nature between Inu and Kags in the beginning of this chappy. So, sit back and enjoy. Thanks again for all the reviews!

 

 

 

Chapter 14

 

 

As sunrays peeked through the beige curtains in the room, golden pools fluttered open as a moan sounded. Inuyasha was tired beyond belief. He had one hell of a night. He and Kagome must have gone at it at least five times. Once they started, it seemed they couldn't stop. His legs and back were numb and weak. He felt as if he was paralyzed from the waist down. He yawned and tried to stretch his arms as his elbows popped due to too much strain and non-movement for hours on end.

 

Earlier, when they finally stopped, Kagome had been astride his hips. She just fell forward onto his bare front and passed out. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and held her to him as he drifted off into a deep and relaxed sleep. As he thought about earlier, his eyes focused to the woman's face on his chest. She had the look of utter calm. She was a silent sleeper. She didn't even react to his possessive hold of her naked body.

 

He thought about everything that had happened the day before. How everything just happened to fall into place. No matter how hard they fought all this time, they ended up together anyways. Not only that, but it felt so right. He had never felt anything so right before. Life became meaningful once again. Not only that, but if he chose to remain with Kagome, he'd be a stepfather. Stepfather to an adorable little boy. Just the thought of that cute kid caused his mouth to curl up into a smile.

 

He'd have the chance to be a father. Something he had always wanted, but Kikyo wouldn't hear of. She was happy with their free lives without children. He wanted a chance to share his interests with either a son or daughter. Kikyo was just the opposite. Possibly due to her childhood. Her family was strict and rich. Even he knew what that was like. He often created trouble and problems just to change things up. Being born to a rich family, there was just too much expected of a child. The child wasn't allowed to be a child. As he cuddled the woman to him a bit closer, he thought about how her little boy wouldn't be raised in that way. As well as any other children that may be on the way, seeing as they didn't even bother with protection.

 

He closed his eyes and sighed in relief as a yawn sounded from her mouth. She snuggled in closer to his body and slid her hands under his back. They laid there embracing for about ten minutes when a smell wafted into the room. The smell of breakfast. Inuyasha's tummy rumbled a bit causing him to moan and shift a bit under Kagome. She leaned up and eyed him as his arms went behind his head and his eyes opened to look upon her with a smile.

 

“Morning, sunshine eyes,” Kagome said with a smile.

 

“Sunshine eyes, that's a new one,” he replied with a cocked eyebrow.

 

Kagome giggled as she shifted to lie beside him under the covers. She held the covers to hide her chest as she leaned forward and kissed him upon the lips. The very same lips that caressed and loved her skin all night long.

 

As she laid her head upon his chest again, he said, “Morning, my chocolate eyed beauty.”

 

Kagome smiled and moaned as she laid kisses upon his hairless and muscle clad chest. He closed his eyes and brought his right arm to caress her back as she showed him some morning affection. At least, until she found his left nipple. He began to laugh as she suckled it. He tried to get her lips and tongue from the sensitive spot on his breast but she only reached her hand down to grab the most sensitive part of his body. He groaned as he pulled her face up to his and claimed her lips hungrily.

 

They kissed and embraced, while touching each other. As they groaned and moaned in pleasure, they drowned out his complaining stomach. It became painful and he began to sit up, directing her with him. Then he pulled away and stood from the bed.

 

“Hey! Get back here!” Kagome complained as he slipped on his boxers and grabbed his t-shirt from the night before. “Ha! That's still wet!” Kagome said as she climbed out of the bed and wrapped her arms around him, trying to get him to fall back to the bed.

 

Inuyasha laughed as he tried to hold his ground. He enjoyed the grunting sounds she emitted as she struggled with his toned body. He turned around, pushed her backwards onto the bed and fell atop of her as he playfully held her arms and legs down with his weight.

 

“You still want me? Even after all we did last night?” Inuyasha asked with a lick of his lips.

 

“I can't help it. You're so delicious!” Kagome said with a squeak as he leaned down and kissed her neck. The kisses sent chills down her body to her core. She couldn't move as he held her down. She felt the need to buck against him, but his response to that was, “Uh uh…No moving,” and he then continued to kiss and lick her pulse.

“What happened to Mommy? Why isn't she up yet?” Shippo asked as he waited for breakfast to be served.

 

“Well, it seemed like what happened earlier really tired her out. I'd imagine we won't see her until lunchtime,” Kagome's mother said as a thump was heard from above them. They both looked up to the ceiling as they heard chuckling and giggling. Shippo and her mother gasped and he bolted from the table to the stairs.

 

“Shippo! Get back here!” The older woman shouted as she ran from the stove and cooking food to stop her grandson from running into the room.

 

When Shippo reached the door, he set his ear against it and heard a familiar chuckle. With stars in his eyes, he opened the door and stopped in his tracks, his eyes and mouth wide open. There he saw his mother and the man he had hoped to find her with tumbling under the covers on the floor.

 

When the door opened suddenly, Inuyasha popped his head out from beneath the covers in shock. He eyed the little boy who would more than likely end up becoming his stepson. Kagome lowered the covers just enough to see her son eyeing their situation with drool falling down his chin.

 

Kagome gasped as she struggled to close the opening in Inuyasha's boxers and hoped her son hadn't seen what she thought he'd seen. Shippo couldn't help but stare for another moment when the older woman came up behind him to see the sight as well. The older woman gasped and pulled the staring boy into the hall and closed the door quickly. Kagome and Inuyasha sighed when the door clicked shut.

 

“Man. Talk about embarrassing,” Inuyasha sighed as he grabbed Kagome's hand to lift her from the floor. She gasped and right away grabbed at the covers to wrap them around her body. Inuyasha right away stopped her by setting his hand over hers. She looked up at him as he placed his fingers under her chin and began to stand.

 

When they both stood up straight facing each other, she proceeded to cover her privates. Inuyasha looked her in the eyes as he grabbed her hands and stepped a bit closer. “You don't need to hide yourself anymore. You're beautiful. Please allow me to see you just as you are from now on,” Inuyasha said kindly as he raised her chin for a kiss.

 

As they chastely kissed, she lifted her hands from her naked body and wrapped her arms around his neck as he held her body to his skin. One thing was certain. He wasn't going to allow her to hide anything about herself from him. Not from his eyes, nor his heart. After a few moments in each other's arms, they parted and he brought his hand to her cheek to stare lovingly into her eyes. Just then, something hit Kagome. Something he hadn't mentioned.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

“What?”

 

“Are you sure you're okay? I mean, you did just find out your wife is in fact gone for good,” Kagome said in a solemn tone.

 

Inuyasha's eyes remained fixed on hers for another moment and then fell to her heart, “Kagome, honestly I'm not. I just…I know I have no choice but to accept this turn. I know it hasn't been long since she told me, but I have another purpose to fulfill. She's out of my reach now. What's the point in crying when she hasn't completely passed on yet?” he asked as his eyes shifted back up to hers.

 

“True. But I just thought it was a bit sudden how things happened last night. I mean, you didn't give yourself a chance to think things through.”

 

“Neither did you,” Inuyasha said suddenly.

 

She gasped and looked away as a blush formed on her cheeks. “I know. I just lost myself when you said she wasn't coming back,” Kagome said in response.

 

“So, then. You did want to be with me from the get go, huh?” Inuyasha said with a smirk.

 

“That's what you think,” Kagome said as she walked away in a smart tone.

 

“Sure. You can try to hide it but,” Inuyasha said as he came up and grabbed her from behind, “I know you liked it.” Kagome started to giggle and squeal as he licked and sucked her neck from behind. She tried to stop him and get away, but he just planted his hands on her chest and got a good grip as he tantalized her.

 

“Stop it!” she shouted as she pushed him away. He stumbled back and snickered as he stepped into her bathroom to freshen up a bit.

 

Kagome sighed in relief to calm herself down and then proceeded towards her dresser to pull out some clothes. Minutes later, the two of them stepped out from the bedroom and descended the stairs for breakfast. The rest of the morning was spent eating, giggling and explaining about the night before and the sight seen by the two sets of innocent eyes earlier.

 

Inuyasha sat back and watched the scene play out before him as he ate the food Kagome's mother prepared for them, including him. He felt at home. He felt as if he was a part of that family. They accepted him so willingly and easily. The outcome was certainly unexpected.

Later that morning, Inuyasha decided to stop back at home to change his clothes and then go back to work. As he arrived at his house, he saw his brother was still hanging around. He decided he'd ask him what gives after he changed his clothes. Wearing a new pair of jeans and a t-shirt, he descended the stairs and stepped into the kitchen, where he saw his brother sitting at the table sipping a cup of coffee.

 

“So, how much longer do you plan to hang around here?” Inuyasha asked as he opened the fridge to see if there was any food available to use to make a lunch.

 

“Since this isn't a hotel, there's really no check out date. Why?” Sesshoumaru asked in a dull tone as he turned to another page in the newspaper.

 

“Well, this is my house, ya know. I have the right to ask how long you plan to stay,” Inuyasha spat as he pulled some lunchmeat and condiments from the fridge and set them onto the counter.

 

“Frankly, I'm not sure.” Sesshoumaru said simply as he sipped his coffee.

 

“Well, ya can't stay here forever. I need my privacy, ya know. Find a hotel room,” he replied as he grabbed a sandwich bag and a knife.

 

“Are you kicking me out, little brother?” Sesshoumaru asked over his shoulder.

 

“Well, maybe. I don't really need your help. Kikyo's still asleep, so what's the point?” Inuyasha said as he began to fix his sandwich.

 

“Why spend money when I don't have to?” Sesshoumaru replied as he looked back to his newspaper.

 

“Tsch,” Inuyasha spat as he slipped his sandwich into the baggie and grabbed his lunch box from the cabinet. As he filled it with his food, he eyed the man sitting at his table as if he belonged there. “I guess I'll find another place to crash then. I take it you want the house?”

 

“Now when did I say that? And why would you choose to stay somewhere else? Don't you usually stay at the hospital?” Sesshoumaru asked as he turned in his chair to face him.

 

“I don't HAVE to sleep there,” Inuyasha spat as he grabbed his lunch box and stepped out of the kitchen.

 

Sesshoumaru didn't understand what he meant by that response and was very curious about his nonchalant attitude towards the situation. “Wait a second,” Sesshoumaru caught him just before he stepped out the front door. “What do you mean you don't HAVE to sleep there?” he asked as he folded his arms and leaned against the banister in the foyer.

 

Inuyasha turned and looked at his brother in agitation, “What's it to ya?”

 

“Do we really have to go through the same thing over and over again? Your wife, am I to understand that you have developed an `I don't care anymore' attitude for what's happened? You know, you and I never really discussed what this all could mean, have we?” Sesshoumaru asked frankly.

 

“Why should I have to discuss my private life and feelings with you?” Inuyasha spat with a hurt look in his eyes.

 

“You know I've always cared about you. It's you who has always had the attitude towards me, Inuyasha.”

 

“Suuuuure. Like I'm gonna believe that one. Now you're trying to make yourself sound like the saint around here, huh? Well, I aint buying that one.”

 

“What the hell is your problem? This has nothing to do with our personal feelings towards each other. This is about your wife who was the one who handled my affairs with her company up until now. So, of course I have a right to know. Will she be coming back to us?” Sesshoumaru asked as he stepped away from the banister and stopped a foot away from Inuyasha, looming over him.

 

Inuyasha sneered at him for a moment and then gave up. His eyes dropped to the floor as he replied with, “She's not coming back. I know it. Just forget it. I don't really feel comfortable talking about it with you.”

 

“How do you know this?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“Why should I tell you? It's none of your business anyways,” Inuyasha spat as he turned his back on his brother once again.

 

“Tell me. I won't allow you to leave until you do,” Sesshoumaru requested as he stopped Inuyasha by laying a hand on his shoulder.

 

Inuyasha clenched his eyes shut and grinded his teeth in anger. This was one reason why he hated his brother. He never allowed him to keep anything to himself. Sesshoumaru grabbed his other shoulder, spun him around and shoved him against the front door. “You reek of betrayal. Until you tell me what's going on, you'll be seen as an unfaithful husband to me, little brother. A true disgrace to our father's name!”

 

Inuyasha seethed inwardly at that last comment. He was anything but unfaithful. He knew the truth. He knew there was no other path. If he chose to dwell on the loss of Kikyo, he'd end up going nowhere. This all happened for a reason, and he had a purpose to fulfill. He was finally given a reason to be happy, and here his brother was making things difficult for him.

 

“Shut up. Don't you dare presume to think you know what's going on, you asshole!” Inuyasha shot back as he took a swing at his brother's face, landing a straight on punch to the mouth.

 

Sesshoumaru backed off and touched his swollen lip, to see if there was any blood. He looked at his brother, searching his eyes to see if he was lying. He seemed genuine in his feelings. There was something different about him. No grief. No anger. There was a peace about his spirit. “What has changed in you, brother? Something's different about you.”

 

Inuyasha said nothing but glared at him as he held his ground. “Something has changed. It's that woman, isn't it? What has happened between you two? You adulterer.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes shot open in anger at that comment. He growled as he spat back, “I am not an adulterer! You leave my relationship with her out of this!”

 

“So, there is something between you then. You lied to me before, didn't you?”

 

“No! I never lied to you!”

 

“Then what's this all about? What are you hiding? You've done something and I'm going to find out what that is.”

 

“And what do you get out of it, huh? So what if I have a close relationship with another woman. It's none of your business anyways!”

 

“It is my business if you're going to smear our father's name!”

 

“Like I give a shit about my last name! You're the rich one here. No one even knows I exist. Why should I give a fuck?”

 

“Because it matters to our father!”

 

“Stop complaining in our father's name. You were the one closest to him.”

 

“You know that's not true, Inuyasha. You are more like him than I am. The reason I say that is because you two shared interests I never cared about. You even looked more alike. You two have both been lucky enough to find simple women to marry and live for. To see you toss Kikyo aside for some nurse is despicable.”

 

“You cared about father, didn't you? More than even yourself? You tried to impress him, didn't you? With all your poise and rich attitude. You wanted him to see you as the perfect son. Tell me, did he see you?” Inuyasha asked curiously.

 

“No, he didn't. As soon as he met your mother, I disappeared. I became the `other son'. The one he had with that bitch he divorced. You, you always caught his attention. You had everything from both of them. Me, I had to fend for myself. I don't understand, and I never will. If he loved you as much as he did, I would figure you'd want to live as he would expect you to live.”

 

“I know what he expects of me, and I don't need you to tell me. All he said he ever wanted for me was to be happy, no matter what. To find happiness and hold onto it with an iron grip. He never told me how to find it, just to grasp it and never let go once I've found it. He said mom and I were his happiness and his life, but he also said something else,” Inuyasha said as he turned his eyes to a calmer look as he said, “to make sure you do the same.”

 

Sesshoumaru's eyes grew in shock. To hear those words from his brother was a surprise. He didn't know his father wished only that for him. “Why didn't he tell me before he died?” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

“Because you left the country. You weren't here when he died. I just figured you were happy and you had already found all you needed to live for. From what I can tell, you haven't. Am I right?” Inuyasha said aloud, hoping the words would sink in and he could finally leave.

 

“No, I haven't. What is that for you?” Sesshoumaru asked curiously.

 

“You really wanna know?” Sesshoumaru nodded. “My happiness is not Kikyo like I thought before. There's a reason why all this happened. I was meant to love Kagome. You see, I've known her and sought her for eight years. Now that she's a part of my life, and Kikyo is no longer truly here, I am not about to let Kagome slip through my fingers again.”

 

“So, you're telling me that, your life is the same as our fathers? It's not the first woman you found, but the second?” Inuyasha nodded as he then turned and left through the door.

 

Sesshoumaru stood for a moment, then stepped back to the staircase and sat upon the last step. He had been lost all along. Sure, his life as far as a hotel mogul was working out well, and he was successful, but he had been missing something terribly important. Someone to live for. Someone who could make him feel alive. As he thought about all he had done over the years, not once having a reason to smile, suddenly the present came about and a face flashed into his mind for one single moment. His eyes shot wide open and he gasped. Not only was Inuyasha led to the one he was truly searching for by Kikyo's shooting, but so was he. The nurse named Rin. She was the only one who could bring a smile to his face, and she was the only one he looked forward to seeing more than any thing. Was she the real reason why he'd stuck around?

Wow…I guess that's the end of this chapter. I'm in awe of what Inuyasha told Sesshoumaru, aren't you? Sounds very interesting as far as a last dying wish from a father who truly loved both his sons enough to wish for them to be as happy as he was. Sweet, huh? Well, I found nothing else to add. I understand it is a bit short for a chapter, but a lot of info was covered here, wasn't there? Well, once again, I have to thank all of you for your reviews and viewings. I am so happy with the success this fic has brought, and for the first time, I will have made it to 100 reviews! Now that, in my opinion, is a record! A milestone! The best gift I've received from anyone in hard times. Thank you all so very much! `Til next time, ja ne!
