*sigh* Alright, I admit. I don't own Inuyasha. If I owned him, this
wouldn't be a fanfic, now would it? *sigh* He's so sexy. hey, anyone want a
bagel?
Chapter 1: What He Doesn't Say
Kagome sat watching the sun go down. The oranges and pinks swirled together in a thousand shades. The clouds seemed to burn with the colors. 'I definitely don't see this everyday in Tokyo!' she thought, mesmerized.
"Hey, Kagome?" Inuyasha called, waking her from her trance. Sighing, she went to see what he wanted.
"What do you need?" Kagome asked, but he had already fallen asleep. Inuyasha somehow had gotten a bit ill and now was acting like a wounded 5 year old.
Kagome knelt next to the hanyou's head and stroked his velvety ears. They made a tiny *kwi* noise. She smiled at the adorableness. She continued stroking his ears.
Inuyasha's eyes opened slowly. Kagome withdrew her hand. "Did I wake you?" she asked, concerned.
"No." He turned away so she couldn't see his joy. He was glad she was there. He inhaled her sweet scent. She always smelt like. he couldn't think of anything to compare her to.
Miroku often called Inuyasha crazy for not letting Kagome know how he felt about her. He just didn't understand. If he was really in love with Kagome, he wasn't just going to blurt it out! No one but Miroku knew, and he was good at keeping secrets. He thought he loved Kikyo once, but that didn't seem like love when he thought about it now. Kagome. was different. He wanted her to find out the right way, if there was one. Just because the monk was stupid didn't mean he had to be. Or was the monk just really smart? Inuyasha favored the stupid theory. He blushed at the thought of Kagome loving him back. Kagome noticed his pink tinge.
"Is something wrong, Inuyasha? Your face is all red." He blushed more. "No. it's just. hot in here." Kagome felt his forehead with the back of her hand. Her cool touch sent shivers up his spine. The good kind of shivers.
"You don't have much of a temperature. Do you want me to stay with you?" 'Yes!' "Feh. You don't need to." He knew she'd stay.
Kagome stood, making Inuyasha gulp. "Well, if you're sure. I do have some studying to do."
'Don't leave, Kagome!' Thinking fast, Inuyasha started coughing violently as she started to leave the hut. Worried, she hurried back, putting her arms around his shoulders to comfort him.
"Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" Kagome bit her lip, troubled.
"Only stay if you want to." he replied weakly, allowing a bit of helplessness to seep into his voice. She gave him a warm smile and hurried to fetch her books so she could study in the same room with him. As soon as she left, Inuyasha gulped down some water.
'That was stupid. that fake coughing really hurt my throat! Man, I can't believe how low I've gotten! I acted. all. needy!' He laid back down before Kagome entered the room with her books, a pillow, and a couple blankets. She knelt where she had been earlier, setting her books down in front of her. She laid Inuyasha's head on her lap unexpectedly, not that he was complaining! Kagome stroked his hair for a bit and muttered a "poor guy" before she opened one of her textbooks.
Inuyasha lay there listening to the pages flipping and Kagome's occasional muttering while she wrote. Every now and then, she'd stroke his ears or give his shoulder an affectionate squeeze. She even gave him a little hug when she solved a really hard problem for. something. Inuyasha was convinced more with every passing minute that he loved Kagome.
Kagome was finishing her homework as the sunset met the horizon, filling the room with a florescent orange glow. Despite the warm color, a draft rustled lightly through the room. Inuyasha shivered and Kagome gazed at him sympathetically. Scooting closer to him, she pulled him farther onto her lap so his head was lying against her stomach. Inuyasha looked at her in wonderment. Adjusting the blanket around her shoulders, she put her arms around him for warmth, embracing him to her. Inuyasha gave her arm a squeeze and nestled against her, dozing off into Kagome's scent and warmth. Kagome looked at his hand on her arm and smiled. She pulled him a little closer (assuming it was possible to get any closer), leaned against the wall, and went to sleep.
Well, that's all for this chapter. I know, it's short. The next one is longer. Stay tuned! The next chapta will be out in a jiff! Warning to all: I use lotsa songs in my fanfics. Beware!
