True Feelings
"C'mon Inuyasha! I need to go home!" Came a feminine voice.
"No chance! You just came back!" Yelled the silver haired hanyou.
"That was two weeks ago! This is now!" Yelled Kagome staring into his golden eyes.
"What about the shards! And Naraku! We need to get all of the shards before he does!"
"I know that! But I need to go home! It's important!"
"What's more important then the jewel shards!?"
"My family! And if I don't get home right now they'll be leaving without me!"
"Keh. Your not going and that's final!" Inuyasha said stubbornly crossing his arms a crossed his chest in his usual fashion.
"You are such a jerk!" Kagome screamed loud enough to pierce Inuyasha's sensitive hearing.
It was three days until Christmas and Kagome's family were traveling down to southern Japan where her family resided. She was going to spend Christmas with her family but a certain self-arrogant half-demon had stopped her. Now he wouldn't let her go through the well, which they were so happily fighting in front of. Kagome gave a heavy sigh.
"I didn't want to have to do this, Inuyasha, but you leave me with no other choice." She said crossing her arms over her chest.
Inuyasha's ears pricked up on what she was going to say. But somehow he knew what she was going to say.
"Sit boy!"
THUD!
Inuyasha's face met the dirt.
"Now I'm going home!"
"Kagome wait!" But she already disappeared through the well. "Stupid wench! I'll show her!" He jumped into the well after her. He soon was engulfed by the familiar presence of the blue tinted light that allowed time travel.
He landed on the other side with a soft thud. Once he jumped out of the well he found Kagome standing in the doorway of the Well House. He walked behind her and saw what she was staring at.
He couldn't see anything but white. What was going on?
A blizzard now stood in front of the two. Kagome shivered as she felt the icy wind come through the opening of the Well House. She backed up and bumped into Inuyasha.
She looked up and found him staring outside. But once he had felt something against him he looked down.
Inuyasha looked into two chocolate orbs. He found that those orbs belonged to the woman he cared for.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in a somewhat worried tone. She sneezed.
"C'mon, lets get you inside before you catch a cold." He said picking her up bridal style.
Inuyasha carried her through the storm and into her house safely. He set Kagome down and started to wander around to find no one.
Kagome walked into the kitchen to find a note on the table.
Dear Kagome,
We knew you probably wouldn't make it for the blizzard had started once we finished packing up. I know you may be a bit disappointed that you won't spend Christmas with the family but I want you to have a good time with Inuyasha. There's plenty of Raman and food for the two of you.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas together,
Mom.
P.S. I left the condoms under the bathroom sink.
Kagome's face turned ten different shades of red. What was she thinking!?
"Hey Kagome? Where is everybody?" Inuyasha asked.
"They went to spend Christmas with my family in southern Japan." Said Kagome reading the note over again for no reason. "So it's just you and me, Inuyasha. What do you want to do?"
At that moment a strange but all to familiar growl came from the inside of the hanyou.
"I'll get the Raman." Kagome sighed.
Within three minutes Kagome had two Raman cups ready to eat. She set one down in front of the hungry half-demon.
"Mmm. Raman." He said as the scent filled his nose. He started slurping up the noodles in his normal fashion.
Kagome was half way through with hers when Inuyasha had finished.
"Your slow." He said as he watched Kagome eat her Raman.
Kagome glared up at him with noodles still sticking halfway out her mouth.
Inuyasha caught sight of this and couldn't help but smirk. A death glare from Kagome would normally send him colliding with the floor. But as he saw the noodles hanging above her cup from her mouth he just started laughing.
"What's so funny?" She asked once she finished her noodles.
"Uh…nothing. What do you want to do?" He asked changing the subject hoping Kagome would take the bait.
Lucky for him, she did. "Like what?" She asked.
He shrugged.
"How about a game!"
"What kind of game?" Inuyasha asked giving her one of his curious looks.
"How about one of Sota's games off the PS2. He's not here so we can play without him getting up set."
"Okay." Inuyasha said not fully understanding what she just said.
She grabbed him by the hand and pulled him upstairs into Sota's room where he played his PS2 all the time.
After about twenty minutes Inuyasha finally started to get used to the controls. With the help of Kagome of course.
"Rrrrr."
"If you're frustrated Inuyasha then don't play." Said Kagome.
"I ain't frustrated!" He yelled but clearly his voice held a lot of it.
Kagome sighed and watched the red words of 'Game Over' flash on the screen. Inuyasha had lost the game, yet again.
"This is stupid!" He placed the controller on the ground. "Hey Kagome, why did you want to come here in the first place?" He asked finally getting the question off his mind.
"Well I wanted to celebrate Christmas with my family." She answered.
"Huh? Kissmas? What's Kissmas?"
"Not Kissmas, Christmas." She giggled and blushed at his pronunciation.
"Whatever. What is it?"
"Well, Christmas is a holiday celebrated on the twenty-fifth on December. It's a holiday where you spend time with the people you care about. You exchange gifts and decorate the house and hang up mistletoes! And on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus comes and leaves presents under the tree. Santa is a big jolly person who leaves gifts all around the world to all the good boys and girls."
Inuyasha rolled over what Kagome had just said. "And you were going to celebrate this Kissmas with your family?"
"Christmas, and yes. I was but they left me behind because of the blizzard." She let out a sad sigh.
"I'm sorry Kagome. If I would have let you go right away then you wouldn't have missed them." He said sadly.
"It's not your fault, Inuyasha. I wouldn't have made it even if you did let me go right away." She smiled up at him. "It's not your fault, so don't apologize."
He nodded smiling back at her as well. He started to get a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. He wasn't hungry, he just ate.
"Hey Inuyasha I forgot to mention something."
"What?"
"On Christmas Eve you can make a wish and if you believe hard enough that wish will most likely come true. Do you know what you're going to wish for?" She asked him.
"Uh…no. I have to think about it."
"Probably more Raman, huh?" She said teasingly.
"That's not true." He said.
"You know it is. I think you may be gaining some weight from all the Raman you've been eating. Soon we'll have to make the well bigger for you to fit."
"Why's that?"
Kagome got up and stood in the doorway of her brother's room. She had a big grin of her face. "Because, you'll be so fat you wouldn't be able to get through."
"What!" He looked up at her. She was giggling at him. "Alright, that's it!" He bounded toward her.
She let out a small squeak before taking off down the stairs and running into the living room.
"Get back here!" He yelled smiling, enjoying chasing her around the couch and table.
She giggled. "No!"
"Apologize now!" He jumped over the couch but she ran right behind it before he had a chance to grab her.
"You'll have to catch me first." She giggled some more.
Inuyasha smirked and bounded at her over the couch catching her off guard. She saw him at the last second and ducked. Although she wasn't prepared for the launch off the wall. He gently tackled her to the ground all the while her screaming and giggling.
"Ha, gotcha! Now apologize!" He said holding her hands down against the wooden floor.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry I called you fat." She said still giggling.
"Much better." He said staring down into her face. He felt that strange feeling come back to him again. Somehow he felt it uncomfortable and at the same time it felt right.
They both noticed the position they were in. Both now had a tint of crimson cross their cheeks.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome looked up into the golden eyes she adored so much. She just melted once his gaze met hers
Inuyasha heard Kagome's soft voice and turned to see two delicate brown eyes staring at him. His gaze softened and he melted into her chocolate orbs.
"Kagome…" Was all he could muster. He leaned a bit forward so that their faces were only centimeters away from each other. His heartbeat started to race and the butterflies in his stomach grew. He didn't really know what he was doing but at the same time was in complete control.
Kagome stared up at him. He moved his face closer to hers and stopped when they nearly touched. What's happening? She thought as she could hear her heart thump against her chest. She was sure Inuyasha could hear as well. She stared into his gold eyes and saw so much emotion, so much wanting. What's happening? Is he really going to kiss me? She half hoped he would. The other half told her he didn't love her. He was still in love with Kikyo.
Inuyasha could taste her breathe on his lips. It tingled with sensation and he wanted to kiss her more then ever. He took a deep breath letting Kagome's scent fill his nose and every part of his soul. Should I kiss her? Is she ready? Does she feel the same way I do about her? He couldn't take it anymore. He had to kiss her. He had to taste her lips with his.
He leaned his head in and crashed his lips into hers. At first they just rested on top of hers but she soon gave in and returned the kiss. The kiss was passionate. Inuyasha deepened the kiss and he let go of Kagome's hands placing them around her waist. He felt her hands travel up his neck to his ears. She gently rubbed them getting a purr out of him.
Kagome's body tensed as their lips met. She slowly relaxed her body and returned his gentle kiss. He had let go of her hands and put them down on her waist. She took her hands and wrapped them around her hanyou neck. She ran her finger through his hair before reaching his cute dog ears. She rubbed them and heard him purr with delight. She couldn't help but giggle. But now she needed air so she broke away from the kiss gasping.
Once Kagome broke away form the kiss Inuyasha looked confused. Did I ruin it? Is she mad at me? I'm such an idiot! He watched Kagome pant as he got up. He looked away saddened that she broke the kiss he was so much enjoying.
Kagome looked up at him. He looked sad but for what reason? She sat up. "Inuyasha?"
He turned his head to look at her. "I'm sorry Kagome."
"For what? For the kiss? I actually enjoyed it, Inuyasha."
He gazed at her. He wasn't expecting her to answer that way. "What?"
"I said I enjoyed the kiss. I know you did too." She smiled.
"You don't…hate me?" He asked.
"Hate you? Of course not Inuyasha. It's actually the exact opposite. I love you."
He looked at her surprised. She loved him? A lowly half-breed? That can't be true.
"Why Kagome. Why would you love and worthless half-breed like me?"
"Inuyasha. It's because you're a hanyou I love you. I wouldn't love you any other way." She scooted next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Kagome." He looked down at her. He then pulled her into his lap and embraced her strongly but yet gently. "I love you too."
