InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Uptown Girl ❯ Chapter 16 ( Chapter 17 )

Unfortunately for Ginta and Koga, their day just couldn't get any better. While trying to get to the hospital at the far side of town from the police station, a traffic accident involving a semi tractor-trailer rig and a SUV happened right in front of them. The semi was trying to make a right hand turn onto another busy road from the left lane, clearly signaling its intentions as the impatient driver of the SUV zigzagged from behind Ginta's truck to pass, then in front of him again, pulling up to the blind passenger side of the semi. As the light changed from red to green the semi driver began making his turn, failing to notice the SUV, which equally failed to see the truck broad side him, almost taking the whole roof of the SUV off with the trailer. So now Ginta and Koga, as eye witnesses gave their accounts to the cops while the accident was slowly getting cleaned up. About half an hour after the accident happened, Koga glanced at his watch for the umpteenth time as they waited by Ginta's truck.

 

“How much longer are they going to be so that we can get out of here?” he barked, getting irritated at all the things that had kept him from his beloved Jade.

 

Ginta looked at one of the officers who had been directing traffic around the accident site, seeing that he had let in a couple of good sized tow trucks into the accident scene. “Looks like it won't be much longer. If they can get the trailer out of the way, we should be able sneak out of here,” he commented. After hearing a very audible angry sigh followed with a continuous low throat growl, Ginta looked over at his brother as he continued, “Don't worry, Koga, I'm sure that Jade's alright. She's in the capable hands of her father in repairing her arm. I'm almost positive that seeing you will make her day so much brighter as well. It's been rather hard these past few weeks from telling her that you're coming home to stay. I'm sure that she'll be tickled pink at that news, and then you two will finally be able to tie the knot, officially.”

 

Slowly a smile crossed his handsomely rugged face as Koga replied, “You're right, Ginta. I should just be thankful that he lives here, instead of some where else. I'm still thankful that he was able to get her ankle fixed as well as he did, it really made her feel like she left the Army on a good note, instead of in disgrace. It's just that I had some plans tonight, which involved her being with me instead of a hospital.”

 

Realizing what Koga was hinting at, crimson covered Ginta's cheeks as he replied, “To much information, bro… way to much information. I would prefer not to know the details, if you don't mind.”

 

Koga glanced at Ginta out of his right eye as he thought about his plans with Jade. “If I can't do them tonight, then it will have to just wait until she feels up to it. I just hope that it doesn't take too long,” he thought as he fantasized about her naked body writhing in ecstasy under his body, screaming his name as she reached one of her multiple peaks. A depraved smile graced his face as he continued in his thoughts as one of the tow trucks pulled the mangled SUV from the right side of the trailer, allowing the truck driver and a wrecker operator access to the trailer to see if they can get it off the semi tractor.

 

 

Once Inuyasha exited the elevator, he approached the nurses' station, asking for directions to Jade's room. He quietly stuck his head into Jade's slightly darkened room. The glare of the TV threw the room into an unnatural glow as the darken night sky hung outside her lone window. When he saw her fragile body laying on the hospital bed his heart became lodged in his throat, causing him to choke at the scene before him. She lay, slightly elevated in the bed with her bandaged left shoulder and arm resting gently against her chest. Her crimson gold hair spilled across the stark white pillow, framing her pale face, accentuating her pale pink lips and slightly rosy cheeks. When his eyes fell upon her lips, all he could think about was how they beckoned to him, “Kiss us. Let us taste your lips against ours.” He moved closer to the bed, drawn to Jade by not only her stunning beauty, but as well as a hint of her sweet blood, which had seeped from her repaired wounds into their bindings.

 

As blood lust over powered the young hanyou, Inuyasha carefully bent over the edge of the bed, not wanting to startle the weak girl as he inhaled her scent once more. Despite the use of iodine to clean the wounds on her arms for surgery, and the ever present smell of dried blood, Inuyasha clearly identified the ginger citrus scent of her body wash, the same scent from earlier that morning as well as the day before. He remembered the kiss, and how it tasted on his tongue and lips. Wishing for a repeat, as well as to ease the pressure of his inner demon, Inuyasha bent closer to her exposed neck, letting his tongue trace a the line of her jugular vein it ascended from her right collar bone to just below her ear.

 

A sigh escaped the sleeping girl's lips at the gentle ministering of his tongue, causing Inuyasha to repeat the move one more time. Getting the same response a second time emboldened him enough to lean a little farther over her, catching her lips with his own. At first, unconsciously she pulled back as his gently claimed hers, but as the kiss continued, she began to pull him into a deeper, more passionate kiss. Seeing that she was beginning to enjoy the kiss more and more, Inuyasha let a low growl emanate from his chest in a loving manner as he gently ran his tongue against her bottom lip, asking for admittance to her juicy mouth. He nipped at her lower lip, in frustration with being denied this opportunity, but never let his lips leave hers.

 

When Inuyasha nipped her lower lip, Jade's eyes shot open like a fire cracker. Flames surged in them when she saw that the one kissing her was not her beloved Koga, as she had thought in her dream that she had just been pulled out of, but the arrogant mutt, Inuyasha. With her jaw locked tight, Jade growled as much as she could, despite her weakened state. What little came out through her clenched jaws, however only seemed to encourage the hanyou to deepen his kiss. Slowly, she moved her uninjured arm to place it against his chest. As she summoned up what little remained of her strength, Jade unclenched her jaw, allowing access to Inuyasha's sensitive tongue, which invaded her mouth with abandon. Suddenly, she bit down on his tongue, causing him to pull back in agony as she used the momentum of his move to push him off of her. With her lips no longer locked with his, Jade growled even deeper, glaring at the arrogant man before her as she remember her reason for being in the hospital in the first place.

 

“Get your filthy ass out of my room NOW, Inuyasha!!! It's because of that Bitch of a girlfriend of yours that I'm even here!” Jade screamed for all she was worth.

 

Inuyasha, recovering from the shock of her assault on his tongue, being pushed off her body as well as her actually using his first name replied back quietly, almost as if in defeat, “I know. It's my entire fault.”

 

Slightly taken aback by his admission, Jade, still glaring daggers replied, “I should hope so.”

 

By then Sango and Miroku had rushed into the room, as Inuyasha explained, “When I got home, my brother so politely informed me that she had been there. I had no idea that she would go after you, Jade. I never thought that she was capable of such a heinous crime. Can you ever forgive me?” He moved closer to her bed, risking laying his hand upon hers as he continued, “I've made my mistakes in this situation, and I've come to ask for forgiveness. I'll even pay all the medical bills, seeing as I was partially at fault for this, no questions asked and I want nothing in return.”

 

Jade looked into his amber eyes, seeing the emotions of pain, hurt, and anguish at the actions of his girlfriend had caused. She knew that he was as much a victim of this as she had been, mentally rather than physically. “I accept your apology, Inuyasha. Would you just do me one favor please?”

 

Barely able to believe his ears, Inuyasha glanced back at her as he replied, “Anything, you just name it.”

 

Taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart, Jade replied, “Please quit coming onto me! I'm taken by Koga and nothing you do will ever change that. Please, as my friend, quit making moves on me. I don't want to see you in a similar bed down the hall from me if Koga was ever to get his hands on you.”

 

More pain crossed Inuyasha's face as he realized what he was being asked to do. After a few minutes and the nervous looks between Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha replied, “I will quit coming onto you, Jade. I don't want to lose your friendship, nor your maintenance expertise.”

 

With a smile of satisfaction across her face, Jade replied, “That's good, now if you will excuse me, I think that the anesthetic dad used is still making me rather groggy. I'd like to speak with Sango before taking another nape.” Inuyasha and Miroku took their leave as Sango moved closer to her bed. Jade looked into her friends' confused eyes as she said, “Thanks for being a witness to that. If he ever touches me in such a way again, remind me to punch his lights out, because I doubt that I'll remember this conversation.”

 

Sango gave her friend a slight smile as she said, “Don't worry about it. From the look on his face, you have nothing to fear. I do hope that you're feeling better later on when they bring up your dinner. You look famished.”

A slight smile crossed Jade's face as she commented, “I could eat. If I remember correctly, I was supposed to take you, Miroku and Kagome out to lunch. I'm sorry about that.”

 

Taking Jade's hand in her own, Sango replied, “Don't worry about it, Jade. The guys took care of Kagome while we were up here with you. You can take us out to lunch another day, after you're feeling better.” With a half hearted smile, Jade snuggled a little deeper into her bed, falling asleep minutes before Koga arrived.
