She's so close, but so far. Her smell haunts him, drives him insane. He's crazy for her, wants her more then anything he has ever wanted. But the vision of death he saw keeps him from getting any closer to her, to telling her how he truly feels about her.
Disclaimer- No way do I own Inuyasha or anything from it, near it, anything that has to do with it. Even though I would...love...to! lol.
Anyways, quick thing before you guys read this. This is like..my third or fourth Inuyasha Fanfic, and so far my best one. So if you guys are going to read this, I ask of you to please review. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch. Okay, now...go forth and read! Sheesh...hehe.
Chapter 1- Alone Again.
The cold winter brought along a drift of snow with it. It covered everything from head to toe. It didn't leave one little place unmarked by the wholly, white, powdery snow.
Kagome sat stiffly under the god tree, as Inuyasha sat in the tree its self. He glanced down at her and sniffed the air, bringing her vanilla scent up to his nostrils. He couldn't help it, he could only smile as he glanced at her once more. He loved her, every little thing about her. And he couldn't deny it anymore. He knew it all to well, so why deny it?
"Inuyasha…"her voice was soft, like velvet. And oh god was it pure. It was the softest and yet most wonderful ring in Inuyasha's dog like ears.
He looked down at her, telling her she had his attention. That he was all ears, and would listen to her, and only her at this very moment. She smiled gently, sending chills down his spine and then leaned her back off the trunk of tree. "I'm cold Inuyasha. Can we please head back to Kaede's now? The snow seems to be coming down harder, and me and you don't need to get a cold. Specially with Naraku crawling around at all times."
Inuyasha smiled at her for a brief moment. She was worried about getting a cold, and not just herself getting a cold but Inuyasha as well. Him. The hanyou who had grown up to believe he meant nothing to any humans in the world. Who grew up to believe that humans were, indeed, pitiful creatures. But now, right in front of him was the one person who had proved him wrong. His feelings towards her were greater then that of the feelings he had for Kikyou.
He nodded a small, but noticeable nod. "Alright Kagome, lets go then." he said smoothly then jumped down from the tree, landing directly next to her. He kneeled down so one of his knees met with the cold, hard, snow covered ground. "get on so we get to the village faster." he said calmly and glanced back at her.
She nodded slightly and climbed up on his back. In seconds Inuyasha seemed to be flying elegantly across the snowing world. He was running fast, but keeping a steady past. A nice calm one. The wind was hard on Kagome's face, causing her to shut her eyes. The snow pelted down on her cheeks, cold and hard. She could feel her cheeks turning a shade of red from being so cold. "hurry," she whispered to Inuyasha as her body become even colder. "I'm freezing Inuyasha…" she complained.
"Don't worry," He replied back. "We're almost back at Kaede's." And as the words slipped from his mouth the village came into view. And not anytime sooner did Kaede's small welcome hut seem to appear from out of the white snow. Inuyasha smiled gently as he came to a halt and let Kagome slip down his back, onto the floor. Kagome smiled in delight as she entered the small hut. But her smile soon faded into a confused look when she didn't see any of her friends in the hut.
She was expecting to see all of them. Sango and Miroku arguing. Shippo and Kaede making something, and then Kirara sleeping in the corner of the hut. But no one was in the hut, and from the look of it it seemed like no one had been there all day. Kagome sighed. She was looking forward to the company of her friends.
That's when it hit her. She heard Inuyasha walk into the hut right after she did and her heart seemed to skip a beat. Her and Inuyasha were alone. Not that she hadn't been alone with him before. It was just the fact that when they were alone they were usually looking for the shards of the shikon jewel. Or they were doing what her and Inuyasha were just doing, resting at the god tree. And usually when they were doing that Inuyasha was in the tree and Kagome was on the floor, making them apart, and not so close together.
Inuyasha took a step to the side, then forward and glanced around the hut. " Alone, again…" he muttered to himself.
Kagome looked over at him, a questioning look on her face. "What did you just say?" she asked, not really being able to hear what he had just said.
Quickly Inuyasha shook his head and looked the other way. "Nothing, nothing…" he muttered once more before he slouched down in his usual spot. The corner in the far back of the hut. He brought his gaze up to Kagome. She was looking at him, that confused look still clouding her beautiful face. Inuyasha couldn't help it. He couldn't hold it back. The faintest smile formed on his face, and Kagome saw it.
She stared, not able to look away from his smiling face. It was something about his smile. Different, maybe. Yes, definitely different. It wasn't that crooked smile he would always have when Naraku was around. Or that fake smile he would give her just to make her happy. Not even his wicked smile. Or his smile of disgust. No, this was different. Way different. It was a smile of pure…happiness.
Kagome couldn't believe it. Inuyasha was smiling cause he was…happy? But why? What did he have to be happy over? She stared at his lips. She couldn't help it. She wanted to so badly taste him, but she knew he would never except her. He loved Kikyo, and only Kikyo. He only wanted to be able to kiss her. Not Kagome. Kikyo was the only women for him in his life, and Kagome knew it.
So she thought.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt hurt, and the more she seemed to get mad. She couldn't let Inuyasha know she was mad over something that he didn't even do. It wasn't his fault that he loved Kikyo, and not her. She knew this. But at the very same time she felt as if she wanted to blame everything on him. But she didn't, she was good, and she held it back.
She stared at him for a little while longer before turning her back to him and lying down. Inuyasha let the smile slip from his face.
"Kagome…"
"hmmm…"she replied gently. She didn't look at him, she just lied on the floor. She pulled a blanket over her slender body and rested her head on a soft, white, pillow. She still didn't face him, but she wanted to so badly. She wanted to turn around and look deeply into his golden eyes. But she didn't dare turn. She knew if she did, and she looked into her eyes she would not be able to look away.
"Will you look at me?" he asked gently. He shifted a little bit, feeling a bit awkward now. When she didn't answer his question he sighed in frustration. "Kagome…" he said, almost pleading as he now stood to his feet. He took one step closer to her before she sat up and glared at him.
"Leave me alone, Inuyasha…" she said low, but harsh enough to make Inuyasha stop dead in his tracks. She sighed and managed a small, but warning smile. "Please, just go to sleep." she said.
Inuyasha looked at her, her lips, her eyes, then he breathed in her soft vanilla scent. "Kagome…"he growled lowly under his breath and gritted his teeth. She looked at him, a bit shocker by the way he had said her name. It was…welcoming to her. She wanted him more then anything, but she didn't dare move.
In her opinion, it would be wrong. Wrong to try and take advantage of him when she knew, actually thought, Inuyasha still loved Kikyo. Oh how wrong she was, and how much she didn't know it. "Go to sleep, Inuyasha." she said again, now laying back down.
Inuyasha shook his head, not listening. He walked closer to her, and dropped himself down right next to her. Her knew she heard him, but she was being stubborn and refused to turn and look at him, like he wanted her to do.
Tonight, he was going to do it tonight. He was going to tell her how much he loved her. How much she effected him. How he wouldn't be able to live without her if she wasn't by him all her life. How she was the only one for him, the only person who truly ever made him feel…free. No one else, not even Kikyo herself had made him feel this way. It was amazing, truly amazing. And amazing was the only way he could describe Kagome. She was, he thought, his entire world, life, and the reason why he hadn't gone insane yet.
Slowly, ever so slowly he reached his hand out to touch her soft baby like skin. That's when it all happened, that's when Inuyasha saw it. Death, itself was coming, and not to him, but to Kagome…
