Chapter 1-Infuriating
Infuriating-extremely annoying or displeasing
Adjectives always added a new dimension, a greater definition to anything that they were applied to. A woman in a dress seemed more beautiful when words like 'pearly blue' or 'stunning' were applied to the dress or its wearer. 'Luscious' plants were always better than plain old plants and salt could be given greater meaning when used with 'fine.' Even people could be described to a greater detail if adjectives were used. Such adjectives such as 'stubborn', 'idiotic' and 'pain-in-the-ass' were very appropriate when talking about her companion, and he had his own list describing her, and he voiced it quite verbally.
"You are such an infuriating wench! Move out of the way. I've got a job to do and it doesn't include standing around and listening to your pointless babble. I'm going back NOW!" He tried to push past her unmovable form, his dark hair shielding them both from the predawn light. He was so close that any mortal girl would feel flushed and nervous, but, she wasn't any ordinary girl.
"I don't care Inuyasha. You're still in your human form so you are still vulnerable." She countered from her less than advantageous position with her back to the well house. She lost a little more of that advantage as he leaned even closer and deliberately rested his hand and weight on either side of her head, trapping her between the well house door and his own body.
"Move, Kagome." Her breath caught in her chest, hearing her name whispered from his lips. It was a deliberate act when he spoke her name like that, a verbal conformation of her presence. And she knew that he knew how it affected her. How she would listen to him when he used it. It was a rarely used tactic that he utilized when she needed just a little push to do whatever he wanted.
Yesterday she had thought that having Inuyasha stay in her era during the new moon would be a good idea. The two of them had planned this little trip the day after the previous new moon. The last moonless night had been interrupted by an attack around two in the morning. A group of beetle youkai swarmed their camp, attracted by Kagome's Jewel Shards. The remainder of the night they spent extermination the bugs and only daybreak and Inuyasha's claws ended the fight.
This new moon she and Inuyasha spent the entire night safely in the modern Tokyo. She had warned her mother ahead of time, who in turn stocked up on instant ramen. She also asked her mother to buy some modern clothes for her half-demon friend to wear. She had feared that some of her friends would stop by and it would have been hard to explain the oddly dressed teenage boy in her house.
Her mother had bought the clothes under protest. She didn't think that Inuyasha would have to worry about strangers come to the shrine that night. Kagome's fears were unfortunately correct when, after dinner, Yuma, Eri, and Ayuki had stopped by to check on her. She had answered the door because Mrs. Kento was suppose to dropping off Souta from soccer practice at any time. Instead of the older woman, her three school friends had been waiting at the door.
At first her pale face and uneven breathing had convinced them that she was really sick and that they should go home and let her rest butm, like everything else in her life, it got worse. Just as they were going to leave Inuyasha (in human form) came around the corner clad in a loose red t-shirt and jeans that he looked way too good in. He walked right up behind her and loosely wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back to lean against his chest. A bright blush colored her cheeks and, to her embarrassment, she could feel the muscles hidden by his clothes.
Then he whispered in her ear.
"You're supposed to be lying down. You're still sick, remember." She almost lost it. She didn't know if she should be pissed at him for pulling a stunt like this and showing up in front of her friends or if she should dig a hole in the ground and hide forever. She couldn't decide so she just leaned against him harder and nodded weakly. He smiled at her, the bastard, and scooped her up bridal style to carry her back into the living room.
Her mortification didn't end there as he laid her down and covered her with a nearby blanket. He tucked her in and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. "I'll be in the kitchen, helping your mom clean up, alright?"
She nodded, still unable to speak coherently. Her friends had followed him in and they too were speechless. The silence covered the room as her friend's surprised faces turned towards her. By group consensus that was carefully developed by close friends, they decided to keep it short.
"Was that. . ."
"Yes"
"And he just. . ."
"Yes"
"Have you, you know"
"No!"
"Well it looks like you are in good hands."
"Very good looking hands."
"Yuma!"
Her friends had left not that long after that. She didn't know if their thoughts were she needed her rest or if she needed time with her guy friend but they left just the same. After the front door closed, Inuyasha made his appearance. On of his rare smiles graced his face, a smile that turned into a smirk at seeing her embarrassed expression. The same smirk that was on his face right now as his expertly pinned her to the well house door just before sunrise.
"I'm not going to move," she tried to convince him (and herself). She tried to hold on to the present goal of keeping Inuyasha in the present and trying not to think of what he did to her last night or how we was standing over her right now still wearing the same shirt and jeans as last night. Her eyes widened as he leaned closer, their noses almost touching.
"I can always make you move," he breathed across her lips. She looked at his eyes, their gray color blending with his dark pupils, looking. . . there was no way to describe how he looked. She was slipping, her resolve failing. She was about to move and he knew it
"Shit."
His grin widened. He probably felt the curse more than heard it but it was enough to know that he had won. "Did you just swear, Kagome?" He was a hairsbreadth from her, gloating over his victory.
"I said 'Shit' you jerk." She glared at him, fire burning in her own dark eyes.
She never heard his response as an explosion tore the quiet morning hours of Tokyo. Instinct took over as Inuyasha pulled her to him and they both dropped to their knees on the ground. Kagome felt aftershocks shake the ground so she held on tighter to Inuyasha. As the ground continued to shake, she felt something else, kind of like when she sensed jewel shards but not the same. It was a tingling sensation that started on her skin and worked its way deeper, electrified the cells of her body. As the new feeling spread, she lost track of the rest of sensations around her. She could no longer feel the ground shake under her knees nor feel Inuyasha's warm arms wrapped around her that were stopping her from falling.
She looked up at him and saw him wince with pain. She winced herself as she felt pain wash through her own body. She opened her eyes one more time, witnessing her name fall out of Inuyasha's lips, before her body exploded, scattering light across the ground, leaving nothing of herself or of Inuyasha behind.
