Unrequited Love ,Mistaken Lust

Chapter One Mistakes

* I do not Own Inuyasha *

By Inuyashas Youkai

In a hidden alcove towered by trees, within a spot on a grassy knoll, by the calm streams, emerged shadows, and emitted by the dying flames .The two more pronounced sketches upon the forest 's walls were encased within the others embrace, like a moth drawn to it's pyre , and their lips were trapped . Struggling for dominance the steamy paths scorching on the patches of flesh was tinged blush from the fierce need to devour. The moon's light soon took the the last of dying fire's light as it pale hues became it' s successor. The morning ray's soon erased the shadows allowed by the night's falling to the day, to return upon the worlds falling to dusk.

The morning sun lit across the horizon ,waking the forms still thrown by the campfire , from night's slumber, just following one's return . Meeting up with Kagome , near the well, they were already packed and soon on their way. Carrying out through the day , the small group that journied across Feudal Japan in search of shards and defeating evil , traveled east. A eastern village tucked away in the mountainous outskirts of the eastern territory was rumoured to have been plagued by a demon ,told to have a piece of the jewel . Sango, Miroku , Shippo , Kirara, and Kagome had began to get exhausted by the end of the days travels and begged the hanyou for reprieve. Although unknown to the rest of the group Inuyasha himself had grown a little tired himself ,so with a pout and mumbling something about lazy humans ,he left them with a hidden smirk.

Dusk was fading thick tonight with the starts peeking through the blanket of the fog covering the darkened and Sango had soon went to the nearby spring to cool off and change , leaving Miroku and Inuyasha waiting for their return. After a hour letting the soothing waves travel up their marred skin and sore muscles from the previous battle, and pointless chatting they escaped the waters tempting invitation with a groan. The girls both walked back dressed in simple Kimono's that previous village had gifted them for helping them . Upon their return , Miroku and Inuyasha had quickly nodded their farewells ,heading in the direction of the springs. Sango and Kagome started the food on the hot coal's to cook while they waited for the boys to return. It was soon that all of them ate and settled in their spots awaiting for sleep to take them .

Softly padding it's feet hurriedly to it's destination ,the lone form met with the inviting fire and the inviting warmth that was waiting .Walking into their secret place and was met with the object of it's desire and affections. Soon cuddled close to another 's needy flesh with similar intention's and want . Crashing down on awaiting lips inviting to the onslaught of their arms traveled on heated flesh , immense heat shaking them to the core with pleasureful frustration. The craving moans and demanding growls filled the peaceful nights air ,traveling by the wind to the darkened skies. The administrations ,quickened with hunger ,while their will breaking to hold out for a little longer ,soon shattering all ambitions as estacy took hold. Captured by animalistic desire the two were driven to forcefully ride out their need to its abrupt end .

Awakened by what sounded like two cats in heat ,a woman moved tiredly in her black kimono to check it out, grabbing her on the way out. Stealthily creeping a few yards to where the noise became more pronounced, stopping to a nearby tree , with her faithful companion . The woman gasped as she stepped out to see a unimaginable sight, quietly walking away ,no longer having the nerve to tell whatever it was to shut up ,or killing the fighting demons like she first thought. Soon the woman walked back to camp , feeling awkward and upset that she walked into that, just wanting to put that image away and forget it... 'Did they notice her'.. Slowly she crawled back into her spot and played possum while the unknown presence crept back into camp , like nothing ever happened . Although painfully she knew better...

The next day the group woke up to Kagome quickly going about the camp ,surprising them with fish for breakfast .Sango was the last one to wake from a restless slumber , arousing to everyone eating . Looking around quickly before settling down to eat , her eyes fell upon one knowingly ,then turning to the ground before noticing her. Miroku had notice her concentrated stare at what she seemingly found interesting on the floor ,seeing nothing, he proceeded to investigate. The monk had inquired if there was something wrong , but she just returned with a shake of her head,only confirming that there was something definately wrong...Something very wrong indeed.. Knowinging deciding to speak with her later in private ,Miroku decided to drop the issue for now..

Later that afternoon ,Kikyo made her presence known summoning the hanyou ,from within his substitute tree. Inuyasha soon jumped from the tree to inform the others of his departure ,with a knowing look to Kagome because of how much he knew it bothered her . This time though the fact of him leaving to see Kikyo didn't seem to bother her . The hanyou wasn't sure if she meant it or not but he turned to leave to meet with Kikyo , knowing he could 'nt ignore her call. After Inuyasha departed Sango turned to look at Kagome to gauge her expression to find her blank with her emotions guarded.. Moments later the demon slayer shook her head in defeat knowing the truth behind it all and heartbroken that she had to keep what she knew hidden. Kagome had began feeling restless ,wanting to have some sparing practice to blow off some steam and had asked Sango to go as well..

Sango wanting to talk to Miroku but also knew that she shouldn't leave Kagome alone decided to go along. The girls grabbed their weapons and headed to a hidden clearing to practice and find a way to combine attacks. While now both having swords because of their last visit to Totosai's ,Kagome to everyone 's surprise asked him to make her a sword. This didn't go well when Totosai had summoned Inuyasha to open his mouth ,and getting a 'hell no'. Though Kagome did in fact get what she wanted in sitting him ,and finding him complaining that he would've done it anyway, she didn't have to sit him. Now with Kagome's sword ,the priestess turned out pretty good with it combining her power with some of the attacks granted to her by Inuyasha's demonic ability. In the middle of the clearing ,the girls continued to clash swords ,while listening to cd's brought from her time.

Time had passed for the girls , during that time, Kagome was somewhat on edge unknowingly ,she could've sworn she felt eyes on her but their presence was cloaked. Sango noticed something out of place as well but she dismissed it as well.

Miroku and Inuyasha had found the girls in their chosen spot and decided to join them ,thinking it was a good idea. Inuyasha had noticed Kagome's awkward mood when he had returned ,wondering what was up he side stepped Sango to step in , surprising Kagome. With a nod Inuyasha urged her to continue , wanting to see what Kagome could do with her sword that he was tricked into helping her get. The hanyou has seen Kagome use it in battle but wanted to push it to see it's limits,while

he questioned the miko,about her new strange behavior. Inuyasha and Kagome's sword's collided with each others creating a spark of electricity that flowed through their bodies. A slight pause to get used to this feeling that coursed through them and get over their shock, brown eyes met with amber ,and with Kagome's smirk she rose her sword ,flipping backwards to release another attack at him. The hanyou blocked ,but only just so in time, Kagome had temporarily thrown him off. It was something about her first clash with his Tesseiga with her Arashi no Ato no Niji .

Inuyasha could'nt describe it , the power was enormous but something in the power emerging from her was restrained and behind it all was sorrow, and something else.

Something he couldn't put his finger on but wasn't sure if he wanted to.

Inuyasha and Kagome continued ,while Sango and Miroku stood in the sidelines and hanyou was indeed inpressed as Kagome met everyone of his thrust of his sword and still was able to throw him a few of her own. Hours later after they were drenched in sweat ,everyone agreed to stop and head back to camp. Though as everyone passed to head back ,the hanyou stayed back and grazed the back of Kagome's hand . With his eyes he tried to tell her what he now knew by the look she gave him Inuyasha could'nt find the words to say.A couple deep breaths ,the hanyou was able to find his voice as she made to turn away to return to the others..

" Kagome ,wait.."Inuyasha called out.

"Yes , Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered

Kagome turned to him with her eyes drilling into his like they were trying to tell him something ,Inuyasha just couldn't tell what. Shaking his head from the thoughth brought on by Kagome's gaze .Inuyasha tried again ,noticing the impatient glint in her stare.

" Kagome, what was that back there?" Inuyasha inquired

" What was what back there ,I don't know what you were talking about ..You wanted to spar me ,so that's what we did." Kagome answered though deep down she knew what Inuyasha was referring to but she didn't want to talk about it.

" Kagome ,you can't tell me you didn't feel that when our swords clashed together, what you trying to do kill me?"Inuyasha returned thinking back to that moment and feeling that Kagome is going to be the death of him ,if this continues...Just not in the way she might think..

Although Inuyasha and Kagome shared something unknown to each other, they both hid their hearts but only one buried it with mistaken lust for another ...
