Summary:
Basically, this is a Sesshomaru/Kagome story….sorry for those who don't like it, but I think Fluffy is just adorable (in his cold, ice-like way)! Since I don't like it when Inuyasha's heart gets broken, I'm just gonna say that he and Kagome are good friends, er, really good friends. I don't know if I'm gonna do a pairing of Inuyasha with somebody….but I'll talk about that later. On with the summary. So there in feudal Japan, Inuyasha and the gang are still looking for Naraku to complete the Shikon Jewel. While battling one particularly nasty "outgrowth" of Naraku, Kagome gets separated from the rest of her group (basically, she got thrown clear across the Eastern Lands…guess where she lands up?). Oh that's enough, on with the story!
I have been alerted that I'm "bitter and full of ire," as a response from reading my summary. Thus said, I have removed the, er, offensive material. Um….I don't mean to come across that way, I'm just really sarcastic. I apologize to anyone I may have offended if my sarcasm did not translate correctly over paper.
Chapter 1-Travelling
"Oi, Inuyasha?" Miroku walked around in the forest, looking for the half-youkai.
"Eh?" Inuyasha called from the stream.
"Where are you?" Miroku continued to walk towards the voice.
"Shhh! Over here!" Inuyasha hissed.
"Oh." Miroku followed the bright red fire-rat robe's movements.
"What did you want?" Inuyasha asked, anxiously looking around.
"Kagome told me to tell you that dinner was ready," Miroku said.
"Really?" Inuyasha asked distractedly.
"What are you doing?" Miroku asked, curiosity getting the best of him.
"I'm looking for the source of…" Inuyasha was interrupted by a whir of wind passing by them. "Stinkin'!..." Inuyasha took off at top speed, following the whir.
"Did I just miss something?" Miroku wondered. After hearing cursing and a feminine shriek, Miroku hurried back to the camp. When he got there, he found that he needn't have worried.
"Uh, Kouga?" Kagome said, unnoticed as Kouga held her in his arms with her back against his chest as he yelled at Inuyasha.
"What are you doing here, wimpy wolf?" Inuyasha spat. "Get outta' here; I can't stand your rancid odor."
"Likewise, dog turd. D'you think I'm here to see you? Don't flatter yourself too much, you might hurt yourself while you try to think of any good qualities about yourself," Kouga spat back, unconsciously holding Kagome tighter against himself.
"Let go of her, you pathetic excuse for a demon!" Inuyasha roared, enraged at Kouga's act of possession.
"At least I'm FULL demon, pathetic half-breed," Kouga retorted.
"Why are you here?" Inuyasha demanded again.
"To see my woman, of course. Really, I thought even a simple-minded hanyou like yourself would know why I came," Kouga said in a bored voice.
Miroku found if amusing that the person they were arguing about was standing confused and ignored in Kouga's embrace. If Kouga came to see Kagome, then why was he still talking to Inuyasha? Miroku suddenly saw something interesting; Kagome had closed her eyes and tucked her head underneath Kouga's chin. She inhaled deeply, smiled, and visibly snuggled deeper into Kouga's arms.
"I—" Kouga froze as he felt Kagome me snuggle up to him. Then he smirked.
"What are you smiling about, wimpy wolf? You ain't got nothing to be happy about because I'm about to disembowel you!" Inuyasha was ignorant of Kagome's actions, and started to charge toward Kouga.
"Heh." Kouga ducked by sitting down on the ground as Inuyasha came flying towards him, swinging Tetsusaiga.
"DIE!" Inuyasha doubled back on himself when he smelled something interesting. He sniffed again, trying to determine what it was. It smelled like Kagome, and it smelled like Kagome when she was content. Content like one is after a busy day to go to bed in a big bouncy bed with huge fluffy pillows and a warm comforter. He stopped his charge, confused.
Kagome yawned and snuggled yet deeper into Kouga's embrace. Everyone watched fascinated as Kagome continued to make herself comfortable in Kouga's lap.
"Wha?..." Inuyasha said, astounded.
"She obviously prefers me over you." Kouga said triumphantly.
Inuyasha just sat down, staring his "vacant stare." (A/N: remember when Inuyasha thought that Kagome didn't want to stay with him after all? Well, that's the face he's making.)
Kouga chuckled. He looked down at Kagome, "So you finally—"
"Shhh! Don't you see she's asleep?" Miroku said hurriedly.
"Huh? She's asleep?" Kouga asked. He felt her pulse, "I guess she is."
"You smell nice, Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled, shifting a tiny bit and inhaling deeply before smiling.
That stirred Inuyasha out of his "vacant" stupor. "What?!"
"That's right, dog turd, she thinks I smell nice." Kouga smirked.
"Yeah, but it's me she's dreaming of," Inuyasha scoffed. "She thinks I'm holding her, not you."
Kouga merely growled at Inuyasha. This caused Kagome to giggle in her sleep. "That tickles." She hit his shoulder hard to make him stop growling. This surprised Kouga, who stopped growling out of shock.
"Does she always do this in her sleep?" Kouga asked Miroku.
"I don't know, I've never slept with her," Inuyasha said, rolling his eyes.
"You better not have. Do you know, Houshi-san?" Kouga asked Miroku.
"No, I have no better knowledge of her sleep habits than Inuyasha," Miroku answered honestly. "She has not yet agreed to bear my children." While speaking this, Miroku had gone closer to Kouga and Kagome to inspect her.
"Pervert," Kagome mumbled, "stop asking me to bear your children…" She reached out her hand to slap Miroku's face.
"Wha?..." Miroku felt a red five star beginning to spread on his face.
Inuyasha squatted down and scratched his head. "She's certainly not awake…"
"No…but she seems to very aware of her surroundings, even when she's asleep." Kouga mused, forgetting his argument with the half-inuyoukai in front of him. "Let's experiment…"
As Kouga bent over her, Inuyasha flew to stop the barbaric act. Too late. With a sound 'smack!' Kouga kissed Kagome on the lips.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome trailed off. Kouga got an eye twitch. Inuyasha smirked. "Why…did…you…LET KOUGA KISS ME?!" Kagome opened her eyes, glaring at Inuyasha.
"You're awake?" Inuyasha asked, shocked.
"SIT!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha went down with a 'humph!'
"You." Kagome pointed at Kouga. "Why?" she demanded.
"How long have you been awake?" Kouga asked.
"Answer my question first. Why?" Kagome insisted.
"I wanted to see how responsive you were during sleep." Kouga said simply.
"I just woke up while you kissed me. Which reminds me…." Kagome slapped his face three times harder than she had slapped Miroku.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Kouga demanded, rubbing his cheek.
"Feh!" Kagome got up from Kouga's lap and dusted herself off.
"After all that, you slap me now?" Kouga asked.
"After all what?" Kagome asked.
Kouga just raised his eyebrow.
"You fell asleep on him." Miroku supplied.
Kagome began to turn bright red, and she looked at the ground. She felt cool fingers touch her chin, making her face him.
"It's okay; I'll still come back for you, but until then…" Kouga swiftly bent down and kissed her again, hard. Before Kagome could protest Kouga was off, going back to his wolf tribe.
"Why that little…" Inuyasha cried, outraged.
"Kagome?" Miroku asked, coming near.
"Huh?" Kagome was still in a stupor.
"Are you okay?" Miroku moved warily, just in case she was awake when she had slapped him last.
"I…think so." Kagome sat down. Suddenly she yawned, stretched, stood up, and smiled.
"Are you sure?" Miroku inched still closer.
"Yeah, I'm just….really….ti…yerd…" Kagome collapsed.
Miroku rushed forward and caught her just in time.
"Inu—yasha…" Miroku grunted; the force of the dead weight too sudden for Miroku to handle.
"Feh!" Inuyasha helped Miroku place Kagome on his back and walked over to the fire pit. Inuyasha then set her down on one of her sleeping bag contraptions.
"She just must be really tired." Inuyasha mused.
"I wish Sango would come back sooner….she was the only one who really understood Kagome." Miroku sighed.
"Yeah, me too." Inuyasha grumbled. He started to brood when he smelled something funny, and this time it wasn't that darn wimpy wolf. He sniffed tentatively and then swore.
"What is it?" Miroku asked.
"Naraku," Inuyasha growled. He really hated that smell of miasma.
"How close?" Miroku asked again, this time worried.
"About ten miles away. With that," Inuyasha nodded his head towards Kagome, "asleep, we have no good way to fight him. Let's avoid him for now. We'll track him down later. She needs to rest."
"I'll pack up the camp." Miroku busied himself around, collecting things and putting them into bags.
Inuyasha put a sleeping Kagome on his back, took a few bags, and then started to move in the opposite direction from which the smell was radiating. "Let's go."
"Ok." Miroku followed Inuyasha.
They continued to walk in that direction for about fifteen miles, and by sundown they had found a place to camp for the night. They also planned to stay there for a day, so that Kagome could rest. During the whole time, Kagome had stayed asleep, even when Inuyasha tried to wake her up by yelling in her ear.
"Darn these female humans! They are so weak!" Inuyasha threw his hands up in surrender. "I give up on trying to revive her."
"Hmmm…this seems to be a rare ailment, but there must be a cure! I'll go into town to find a cure!" Miroku took off in search of a town.
A 'cure' indeed. More likely, a way just to find people to ask your favorite question! Inuyasha sniffed.
Kagome just then rolled over and mumbled something. Inuyasha tried to get closer to hear what she was saying, but even his sensitive dog ears couldn't pick up the words. He watched her shift to get more comfortable on the hard ground.
I wonder what's wrong with her? Inuyasha was truly confused. He really hoped Miroku was serious this time in his endeavors. He began to get the firewood from around the forest, always keeping one eye on Kagome. She was helpless enough when she was awake, how much more helpless would she be when she was asleep? Then again…she had just shown that she was very much more violent when she was asleep. Inuyasha sighed as he dumped his load of wood onto the make-shift fire pit; things were sure boring when you didn't have someone to talk to.
Inuyasha pondered this awhile; before he met Kagome and the others, being alone never bothered him before. He also didn't really have friends before them either. He looked at Kagome again. Still sleeping.
"Yo, Kagome, you need to wake up. Look, don't be depressed just because Shippo and Sango aren't here. We get along just fine by ourselves." Inuyasha spoke to the sleeping human beside him. "Now, where do you keep those matches…" He started to rifle through Kagome's bag to find those sulfur-covered sticks that made fires so much faster than flint. While bending over Kagome to reach her bag, a rock hit his supporting foot and he fell on top of Kagome.
"OI!" Inuyasha yelled as he went down. He caught himself just before his face hit Kagome's shoulder; that would have left a bad bruise. Just then, Kagome shifted and rolled over, knocking Inuyasha's hand and causing him to fall on top of Kagome.
I hate my life was Inuyasha's thoughts as he came yet again too close to impaling his face with a body-part of Kagome. Just as he finished using a colorful string of words, he realized what position he was in—his face was in her neck, the rest of his body was on top of hers. Inuyasha did a rare thing—he blushed. He became painfully aware of what the body underneath him felt like.
He looked at Kagome's face, bracing himself with his hands. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping. Inuyasha snorted mentally; peaceful was one of the qualities that she didn't posses when angry. And she was angry quite a lot lately. Inuyasha sniffed to make sure no one was around, and made a decision. If that wimpy wolf could get a kiss from Kagome, he could too. There was no way in heck Inuyasha was going to let that imbecile get the upper hand.
Inuyasha leaned down to kiss Kagome, but then paused, as he suddenly got a picture of and enraged Kagome 'sitting' him ten thousand times and then roasting him for dinner; she would be watching with glee, too. Inuyasha shivered. He gathered his resolve again, and resumed his previous activity.
Just to let you know, Kagome, I'm not trying to molest you. I just can't let that moron of a wolf have an upper hand. Inuyasha prayed that she would spare him later.
Inuyasha held his breath as he bent down again, and timidly placed a chaste (that's right, CHASTE, you pervs….) kiss on Kagome's lips. He sighed in relief after a minute; he was still breathing and alive.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome's voice broke through his relief aura.
"Huh?" Inuyasha's head whirled around, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
"Oh, are you ok? Are you hot? Do you have a fever?" Kagome rushed over to him and placed her hand on his forehead.
"Uh…er…no. I'm fine. About time you woke up. You've been asleep the whole day." Inuyasha shooed her away with a flap of his hand.
"Okay. Where's Houshi-sama?" Kagome asked, stretching.
"He's in the town," Inuyasha shook his head.
"Oh, goodness. Is there a stream nearby? I want to take a bath." Kagome asked.
"I don't know. Let's go check. I need to take a bath too…I'm overdue." Inuyasha said absentmindedly.
Kagome giggled.
"What?" Inuyasha asked, looking behind at the giggling girl.
"Nothing, let's go." Kagome followed Inuyasha.
They found a rushing stream about fifty yards away from the camp site. It was surrounded by trees and had a conveniently placed large boulder near the edge of the stream.
"Thanks, Inuyasha." Kagome started to take off her shirt and froze when she realized Inuyasha was still standing there. "Uh…are you gonna leave?"
"No." Inuyasha said.
"Okay…er, could you look away while I get in? You can take a bath on the other side of the boulder, I guess." Kagome said hesitantly.
"Sure. Better yet, I'll go in first so you have nothing to worry about." Inuyasha stripped off his shirt before Kagome could 'eep!' and turn around.
That should be illegal Kagome thought, picturing Inuyasha shirtless again. She heard a splash and a yelp as Inuyasha got in.
"Is it safe?" Kagome asked, momentarily distracted.
"Sure." Inuyasha ducked into the water and grabbed a handful of sand. He started to rub the sand in his hair when he smelled something fruity. He paused and called out to Kagome,
"Hey, what's that smell?"
"What smell?" Kagome asked from the other side of the rock.
"That fruity smell, it kinda smells like…I dunno. It's like a mix of fruits." Inuyasha replied.
"Oh, that's my shampoo." Kagome said, giggling.
"Why do you keep giggling like that?" Inuyasha muttered. "What is shampoo used for?"
"It's to wash my hair." Kagome said.
"Feh, it's much better to use sand." Inuyasha dismissed.
"No really, this stuff really makes your hair clean. Here, let me give you some so you can use it. You have more hair that I do, after all." Kagome threw the bottle over the rock and heard a 'bonk!'
"Ow! Goodness, next time tell me when you are gonna go chucking things across." Inuyasha yelped.
"Sorry!" Kagome apologized.
"That's okay…hmmm…" Inuyasha inspected the bottle, turning it over in his hands. He squirted some of the stuff on to his hands and sniffed it. He reared back as the concentrated smell of shampoo was too much for his sensitive nose.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called out.
"What?" Inuyasha shook his head to clear it.
"Are you having trouble?"
"No."
"Come on, here, look, stop snarling at the shampoo bottle, I'll help you." Kagome swam to the other side of the boulder without thinking about what she was wearing, or rather, what she wasn't wearing. Fortunately, Inuyasha was too frustrated with the shampoo bottle to notice.
"Darn…" Inuyasha snarled.
Kagome sighed and got some shampoo on her hand and proceeded to rub it into Inuyasha's scalp before he could stop her.
"Stop grumbling." Kagome scolded absentmindedly.
"It's just that it's unmanly to have you rub that stuff in my hair like a child." Inuyasha muttered.
After a few minutes, after Kagome had worked up a lather; she heard a funny noise. It sounded like growling, but it had a softer texture to it, kind of like…purring. Surprised, she took a peek at Inuyasha's face in the reflection in the water. His eyes were closed in bliss and he was purring unconsciously. Deciding that he would not be happy if he was caught purring, she said,
"Inuyasha? I need to rinse out your hair, uh, I'm going to dunk your head under the water. I'm not trying to drown you. Unless you want to do it?"
"Huh? Oh, uh, I'll do it." Inuyasha said, blushing. He was glad she hadn't caught him with his eyes closed. He dunked under the water and ran his hands through his hair, trying to get the soapy suds out of it. When he came up again, he hair was shampoo free. He opened his eyes and grinned. Suddenly he backed up violently as he found himself two inches away from Kagome's face, and the rest of his body closer than that.
"Sorry." Inuyasha mumbled.
"That's okay. Here, use this." She gave him a brush.
"Huh?" Inuyasha took it.
"You're supposed to comb your hair with it."
"Oh." Inuyasha started to pull the brush through his hair and found that unlike other brushes, this ran through cleanly.
"Here, now duck under water again." Kagome instructed when he was done. "Now, take this and comb through your hair again," she said when he came up again.
"All done! Ok, I'm getting out on the other side….don't look." Kagome swam back, thinking don't look? After all, you were really close to him a minute ago…She slapped herself mentally and climbed out of the water to get dressed. "I'm done."
"Okay." Inuyasha hopped out and grabbed his clothes.
He really has no modesty Kagome thought as he was in front of her stark naked. She had the decency to turn around quickly and avert her eyes.
"Are you quite done yet?" Kagome asked.
"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, looking up.
"I said, are you done dressing yet?"
"Uh, yeah." Inuyasha mumbled, scratching his head. He didn't understand her.
"Let's go." Kagome grabbed his hand and dragged him back towards the camp.
"Wha-?" Inuyasha said as he was being led back to camp.
They set about making the sleeping arrangements while they waited for Miroku to return. Sighing, Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, who was yawning and slipping inside her sleeping bag.
"The lecher is never gonna return, is he?" Inuyasha asked to no one in particular.
"I didn't know you cared, Inuyasha." Miroku stepped into the opening.
"How did you get there?" Inuyasha asked, irritated.
"I walked. She's asleep again, I see."
"What does it matter to you?" Inuyasha asked.
"Is that…mango I smell on you?" Miroku walked up to Inuyasha and began sniffing his hair curiously.
"What you doing?!" Inuyasha yelped.
"It smells like…mango and…orange." Miroku backed away from Inuyasha and scratched his head. "It also smells like Kagome."
Inuyasha blushed and gave a "feh!" Miroku raised an eyebrow at this.
"What did you do?" Miroku asked, a perverted smile starting to creep across his face.
"Nothing! Not all of us are like you!" Inuyasha barked.
"So you did do something!" Miroku said gleefully.
"I did not!"
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't!"
"Right."
"Shut up, Miroku, I'm trying to sleep." Kagome said grumpily. She tossed and turned before she felt comfortable.
"Was she sleep-talking again?" Miroku crept closer.
"I don't know." Inuyasha scratched his head.
Miroku bent down over Kagome, and touched her pulse on her neck. "She's asleep, Inuyasha."
"Good. Now it's my turn to sleep. You stand guard." Inuyasha lept up into a tree.
"Thanks." Miroku said dryly. He sat down against a tree and propped his head on his elbow. He waited for hours. And hours. Bored, he stood up and stretched. He walked around and squatted down next to Kagome. Being the letch that he was, he got a perverted idea and since Inuyasha was not awake, he had a free reign. He bent down and gave Kagome a kiss (A/N: it wasn't chaste, but I'm not going into detail).
A hand snaked up from her sleeping bag as Kagome slapped Miroku hard, creating an even bigger welt on his already welted face. Inuyasha awoke from the sound and jumped down into the clearing. He saw Miroku giving a very Shigure-like smile and rubbing his red cheek.
"What'd you do this time?" Inuyasha asked, curious.
"Heaven…" was all Miroku mumbled before going to sit against his tree again. Kagome had fallen back asleep.
"Goodness, Miroku." Inuyasha exclaimed when he realized what Miroku must have done.
"What? Sango's not here anymore…" Miroku sighed; what a lovely lady to grope.
"Perv." Inuyasha lept back up into his tree.
Miroku just sighed in contentment. If he couldn't get the itch out of his hand, he just got the itch out of his mouth to make up for it. He hadn't groped anyone's butt in three days! He was dying from groping withdrawal. Too bad she had to track down that other shard…Kagome seems to miss her a lot. I also miss her a bunch too…what a lovely—
Miroku was knocked out by a stone from above.
"Stop smiling like that. Gosh. What a pervert." Inuyasha muttered. He closed his eyes again, lightly dozing as Miroku was now unable to stand watch.
Snap
Inuyasha's eyes' fluttered open at the sound. He looked around, sharpening his senses to see where the sound came from. He spotted Kagome tossing around restlessly. What was wrong with her? She had never fallen asleep like that before; especially so deeply. She seemed only to wake up when greatly disturbed. Inuyasha scratched his head; how troublesome. As he was about to doze again, he smelled something disturbing. Naraku seemed to know where they were, and seemed to be heading right for them! Cursing, Inuyasha smelled them to be about only about a half mile away.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled.
"What!" Miroku said, waking up from his state. (A/N I don't know how yelling makes an unconscious person wake up, but whatever)
"Naraku!" Inuyasha leapt down from the tree and went over to Kagome.
"Yo! Wake up! Naraku is after us! Look, he's really close!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome merely rolled over.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, interrupting his stream of curses.
"Huh?" Inuyasha paused, looking over at Miroku.
"Each time Kagome has wakened up, what happened before?" Miroku asked, more to himself than Inuyasha.
"Hmmm…I don't know! Well…now that you say it…she was kissed each time before she woke up." Inuyasha scratched his head again, confused.
"Wake her up, Inuyasha. Naraku comes closer." Miroku heard the stomping of the beast. Miroku hurriedly packed away the things.
"What?! You want me to-to-to KISS her?" Inuyasha spluttered.
"Yes." Miroku said distractedly.
"No way!" At least, not in front of you! Inuyasha thought.
"Fine. I'll do it." Miroku advanced on Kagome with a gleam in his eye.
"NO! Okay, I'll do it. Just don't look." Inuyasha said, panicking. He would not let Miroku get near Kagome! He bent over Kagome and tentatively planted a short small kiss on her lips and leapt away quickly. Just as Miroku predicted, Kagome woke up shortly, fisting her eyes.
"Wha-what happened?" Kagome asked, yawning.
"Naraku is coming closer, and we have to—" Inuyasha was interrupted as a small child appeared in their camping circle.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha demanded. This child REEKED of Naraku.
The child took a step forward, causing a resounding "boom" to echo throughout the forest. Kagome looked at it in surprise.
"I have come for the shards." The child said in a ridiculously loud voice. "She has them. Hand them over." The child advanced towards Kagome, who still in her sleeping bag.
"Stop right there, kid. I'll hurt you if you don't!" Inuyasha leapt forward and drew his Tetsusaiga.
"Stop." The child raised it's hand, making Inuyasha freeze mid-air.
"WHAT?!" Inuyasha yelled. He cursed at the child as he fought to regain his mobility.
"Silence." The child said, effectively shutting Inuyasha up by force; his voice box was temporarily rendered inoperable.
Miroku sneaked up and placed a seal on Inuyasha, freeing him from his invisible bondage. Inuyasha fell to the ground with a "thump!"
"Hey, you. That was a bad choice." Inuyasha got up and yelled, "KAZE NO KIZU!"
The child was hit and flew forward, smacking straight into Kagome, sending her flying.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed as she flew farther than she had expected. When she hit the ground she fell unconscious.
"That, my dear hanyou, was a bad idea." Miroku noted briefly, before ducking away from Inuyasha's flying fist.
"Shut up! We have to go save Kagome! She was headed straight for the Western Lands!" Inuyasha grabbed everything, including Miroku, and started flying in the direction of Kagome.
A/N
So, I got one chapter done…this is my first Inuyasha fic, though. I'm not sure how good this will be, so any type of input/feedback would be great…hint hint. How did ya'll like it? Please R&R before you go! Oh, and as a reward, I'll give you all another chapter! Only if you review though…I'm typing it right after I'm done with this!
