Disclaimer: Yes! Yes! I RULE INUYASHA! ... no I don't.
-sigh- I'd like to meet Rumiko Takahasi and steal the Inu-gang away from her...oh sheer bliss!
Don't you? Nah, probably be protecting her from me.
Anyways... since I suck at writing stories, please tell me what you think of my poems. Please comment too. It would really be appreciated. You can find the link on my profile.
"Oh, Inuyashaaa!"
'Ugh, fuck, bitch. Don't say it, don't--'
"OSUWARI!"
WHAM!
Everyday was the same. Day and night. He was getting fed up. He and Kagome were enduring pointless fights. These past days, she was so moody. And he just hated the fact that he had to avoid her oh, so delicious, intoxicating scent. His nose just couldn't bear it. Everytime he looked at her, he just wanted to pounce on her and take her innocent and claim her. That's why he's been avoiding her gaze, because the minute he looked at her, he'd have no control. Doesn't she know that she's in heat? She's been wanting to spend some time with him, but he's been only hurting her, by pushing her away. She would then bring on the waterworks, and 'osuwari' him. Having no leads on Naraku wasn't making his life any better either.
But for now, he was...thankful that Naraku hasn't shown up yet.
Curse that stupid damned witch! The last battle that he and his friends encountered, a witch that obtained black powers, had used his hanyou powers as an advantage, and had set a curse upon him. It was really ticking him off, because this curse would begin tonight.
Still in thought, sitting on a tree branch, arms crossed, and eyes closed, he hadn't felt or heard the prescence of the young miko approaching him, and calling out his name. That is, until she 'osuwari'ed him.
"'am it, 'ench! 'ou 'ad to do 'hat!" After the spell wore off, he brushed himself from the dirt on the ground. He then turned to her, controlling his temper and desires. He mentally kicked himself for almost thinking up dirty thoughts. The miko just stood infront of him, looking at him oddly.
Feeling her intent stare he snapped, "What?"
"Well, I just finished cooking ramen...I thought you'd like to know and come inside to eat with us. You havn't said a word to us since this morning, except 'stupid idiots!'. Is there anything wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome looked up and blushed. Now he was just standing and staring infront of her, staring at her oddly. Except, he wasn't staring at her oddly...but, longing?
'Yeah right, Kagome. Get a grip! As if he wants you like that...but why is he looking at me like that then?' Kagome started to fidget with her sleeves, hearing no answer from his mouth.
'I'd like to taste those lips someday again...aiyee! No, bad Kagome! Just because you didn't get enough of him at Kaguya's Castle, does not mean you have to--'
Her thoughts were broken, when Inuyasha spoke, "Let's go inside." He walked past her. She could her his footsteps from the ground heading to the village. A moment later, Kagome followed him.
Nightfall had approached. Everyone was a little worried at what would happen to Inuyasha. Millions of possibilites travelled through their heads, as they sat in silence around the cozy fire in Kaede's hut.
"Well, this curse that the witch cast upon Inuyasha, should only be temporary. Seeing that she is not powerful at all, atleast not as powerful as the Black Priestess we encountered long ago."
"Do you think...the witch would cast some kind of death curse on him, houshi-sama?"
"Don't be obsurd, Sango! And if I'm not mistaken, a death curse would take several days for symptons to show up. Then I'd turn in sick, and die. But because I'm a half demon, the only forms I have left since that damned witch absorbed my hanyou powers, is my demon blood and human blood. My demon blood wouldn't be affected at all, neither should my human blood, since the blood is mixed, so sooner or later I'd have healed up before the curse would have affected the sickness. Isn't that right, Miroku?" Inuyasha snorted. He was sure that he was not going to drop dead anytime soon.
"Miroku, if that's the case...then the only thing she could've done is to--" Kagome started.
"-change Inuyasha into human."
Soon, the atmosphere was covered with silence.
"Great. Just fucking brilliant!" Inuyasha blurted out furiously.
"Inuyasha. Please control your temper, and watch your language around Shippo!" Kagome ordered calmly.
"What for? I've heard all the cusses their is to know. I have ears! And since I'm a demon aswell, I can hear better too, even when he mumbles. So...anyways, what are we gonna do?" Shippo responded.
"Well...if Inuyasha is really going to turn human tonight, for who knows how long, I think it would be best if he were to stay in my era." Kagome suggested. She felt Inuyasha's gaze fall onto her. The same gaze he gave during noon. She shuddered.
"I think it would be best aswell. Before you even object, Inuyasha," Miroku spoke calmly, but then a bit of sarcasm hit to his tone, "we all know you're strong, and that you'd fight on Naraku anyways, and probably die," Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms against his chest.
"But it would be wise to stay in Kagome's era. We have no leads on Naraku, nor has any attacks occured. And Kagome hasn't sense any jewel shard either."
"Keh, maybe her spiritual powers aren't strong enough to sense a shard 2 feet away." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Inuyasha. Osuwari."
WHAM!
"-sigh- and I just fixed the floor the last time you sat him, Kagome. Next time, Inuyasha, keep your negative thoughts to yourself." Sango eyed him dangerously. She gave him a say-one-more-word-and-I'll-beat-you-to-a-pulp glare. Inuyasha just gulped.
"Well, we better leave soon-" Just when Kagome started, a little bit of light came from Inuyasha's direction. Everyone turned to him, and as they did, they spotted black hair, short nails, no ears, and dark violet eyes.
"My theory was right afterall. Just...who knows when the curse wares off." Miroku said bluntly, as if the change was nothing the matter.
"Fucking great..." Inuyasha mumbled. This is really great! Since his emotions are so much stronger that he can blurt out words he may mean, but would never say in a million years...yet, he'll have to be extra cautious around Kagome. Let alone in her era, in her house. Maybe in her room.
"Oh come on, Inuyasha. Being human isn't that bad!" Kagome chirped.
"And...you won't have to deal with any demons for a while either!" Shippo chimed in.
"So Naraku can get stronger? Knowing I'm not here?"
Everyone was silent.
"So what, Inuyasha. You'll get stronger too. He gets stronger, you get stronger, everyone gets stronger..." Kagome babbled on about everyone getting stronger.
"Er, right. Anyways, how long do you think this will last, Miroku?" Inuyasha inquired. He really hated being human.
"Hmm...well no longer than about 2 months." Miroku said calmly. "I may be wrong...maybe one."
Inuyasha just gaped at him. 2 months, 2 months, 2 months, 2 months, months, months, 2 friggin months!
"DAMN IT ALL!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome felt really guilty. It meant he had to spend 2 months with her, and Kami knows if he really doesn't like being near her, atleast from the ways he's reacted to her everytime she offered to stay with him. He'd just shoo her away. It really did hurt.
"I think, you and Kagome should leave now." Miroku suggested.
"I'll go pack. I'll meet you by the well, okay Inuyasha?" Kagome turned and looked at him.
"Sure, whatever."
As Inuyasha and Kagome got to the other side of the well, the sky was dark blue, tinted with a few sparkling stars. As they strode slowly over to the shrine, a little boy came wandering about.
"Kagome! Welcome back. Hey, Inuyasha! Wanna play-- hey, wait a second. You're...your hair is black! You can shape shift?"
Inuyasha just sweatdropped and smiled at the kid. "Hey Sota. Sure, I'd love to play games with you ( again ), and no I can't shape shift. I'm human for 2 straight months. Fun, isn't it?"
"Haha. Anyways, mom just made dinner." Sota turned to Kagome. "Mom said that we 3, excluding you, are going over to Osaka. We've leaving tonight." Kagome's brother inquired.
"Oh. Okay. Well you have fun, alright?"
"And be sure to snag a girl too." Inuyasha winked at Sota.
"Sure thing, Inuyasha!" With that, Sota ran back to the shrine. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome, noticing she was looking at him funny.
"What?"
"'And be sure to snag a girl'? Are you...okay?" Kagome put her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side, continuing to stare at him funny.
"Yeah, why?" Inuyasha glanced towards the shrine, and back at her. 'Damn...she looks really sexy standing like that. Just need to fumble up into that skirt and... Damnit Inuyasha!'
'You know you can't resist thinking these thoughts...'
'What the, who the hell are you?'
'You. Who else? Wow, I can't believe you're that stupid.'
'Uuh... huh?'
'You dope. Your conscience. Anyways, know that I'm always right, and don't object to anything as I say. For example, you're stupid.'
'What the, no I'm not!'
'And you look pretty stupid arguing with yourself.'
Inuyasha then came back to reality, and noticed Kagome walking towards the shrine. Slightly embarassed, he followed.
Inuyasha entered her house. Looking around, he smelled something delightful.
'Smells like some kind of stew I used to make when I was little...'
"Oh, Inuyasha. My family just left. They left me some money to get you clothes and all that." Kagome came around from the other room and put on her apron. It was decorated with pink flowers. It looked a little frilly for Kagome, knowing she isn't the girl type. Who fights demons side by side with a half demon, a lecherous monk, and a vicious demon exterminator, who's girly? Certainly not his Kagome.
'His!' Inuyasha almost choked.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay? You've been acting funny."
"If there's one person who had to be funny, it's you." Inuyasha stated, and grinned.
"Oh? And how am I so funny, Inuyasha?"
"If you must know..." Noticing Kagome backing up to a wall, while Inuyasha approached her, with a wide smirk on his face, he put his hands on her waist, and leaned down to her ear, and bit it gently. He pushed her back to touch the wall, and crushed her body with his. It felt so right embracing her like that.
Kagome gasped, and was so nervous and shocked by his sudden, intimidating actions, she just stood. 'W-what is he doing! Aiyee, this is so, this feels, oh my...ahhh! I have to push him away...no no don't do that...' Her thoughts were interrupted by his voice.
"You...never do realise what's going around...us...do you?" Inuyasha whispered and lowered his mouth to her cheek, then neck. His hands still resting on her waist. He nipped her neck a little, and gently his hands were caressing her back.
"U-us?"
Inuyasha chuckled. He backed away, allowing her to move once again. 'Damnit, stupid human form, don't know what you're good for!'
Kagome moved around and began cooking, feeling very flushed of what just happened.
'Why do I feel so completely unsure now of what's to happen next? This is so not what I had expected when he was coming over! Oh, this is bad...not that I'm complaining...no no no! Kagome, bad! He's not yours, remember! Oh, I was hoping he's just come in and barge the cupboards for ramen or something. Then sleep. But not this! And to think he has to sleep in my room...'
Inuyasha watched her as she cooked, and looking pink. The way she was acting now was a bit tense. Inuyasha smiled to himself. He probably will make this 2 months-demon fighting free-alone time with Kagome-in my human form state the best he can. Anyways, didn't Sota say her mom made dinner already?
"Oi, Kagome, your mom made dinner, remember?" Inuyasha pointed at adish that was covered with a bowl, so itwas a little hot.when Kagome turned.
"Oh...I forgot."
"I'll just set up the table."
'Set up the table? Since when did you do that, Inuyasha?'
Both had finished eating. Dinner was served as chicken stew, with bread. It was truly delicious. 'But I could've cooked better, knowing I'd be cooking for Kagome.'
"You...seem to change, really fast when you're human." Kagome pointed out, bluntly. She was trying to pick-up a conversation, and she had to say that? She really is hopeless when it came to guys...even to Inuyasha. Oh my.
"Change? Well, I wouldn't exactly put it as change..." Inuyasha paused, thinking of how he had 'changed'. Maybe a little, but blame it on his human side. He didn't expect to ask Sota to snag girls, nor to put Kagome in a intimidating situation. Hell, he didn't even know his human side would go that far. Knowing what he did, and thought about it, he really needed to control his emotions towards her. Sure, he loved the girl, and wanted to tell her, show her, and all, but he wouldn't let the human side go that far to blurting it out. Not yet, atleast. But then, it's okay to soften up a bit, right? And...well he really does. "But, as you know how those people say, change is good." 'Just not when Kikyo told me to change to human.' Inuyasha smirked while Kagome ate. He'd change for Kagome, he really would.
A/N: Well, that...was okay. Anyway a little..tiny bit longer than I had expected? Oi, I suck at writing stories. Anyways, sorry for my sudden...character change on Inuyasha. So...before you flame me, I'm just gonna warn you that, his personality will be sorta completely different...like more protective ( like he isn't already ), romantic, and all that. '
Anyways you see that tiny tiny...purdy purple button down there? You know wanna press it. We all know you do.
