Hey everyone! I AM SO HAPPY! I didn't know my newest story would get such positive feedback! You made me so happy I updated really fast!
People were saying that I should have put them in high school. The reason that I didn't was because I am currently in 8th grade and I like to portray things that I have personally gone through. I made an exception for A Lovely Mix Up because that was what grade they were in on the story they were based on.
Also I have decided that my story will be most likely be a couple more chapters than I originally planned.
Any who, enough small talk time for the next chapter!
P.S: InuYasha will once again narrate.
Forbidden Affection
Chapter 2: Fear
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.
All right right now all of you people are giving me totally confused looks so I guess I should explain.
This romance didn't start like all those sappy romance mangas you read all the time. No it wasn't love at first sight and I didn't save her from some damned psycho killer.
Honestly my feelings are one sided.
It pretty much all started the day she moved here. And let me tell you it was anything, but romantic, more like we hated each other.
Flashback
I was sitting on the couch watching my favorite T.V show, when the doorbell rang. I was only five at the time and I was still in hanyou form. My mom was in the kitchen making Macaroni and Cheese, and my dad was in his office working on some blueprints for a new house a few streets down. He was an architect at the time before he owned Taisho Co.
I told my mom the doorbell was ringing, but she was totally absorbed in her cooking and I knew better than to break her away from her work.
I growled and walked over to the door and glancing back at the T.V a couple times, since I was missing my favorite part.
This had better be important I told myself.
I opened the door to see a girl about 3 inches shorter than me in a black skirt and tights, and a pink T-shirt, with a small white jacket over it. She had long black hair tied back in pigtails a blush plastered on her face.
"H-Hi, my name is Ka-Kagome Higurashi, I just moved onto the house next door and Mama said I should get to know the neighbors and see if I could to make new friends. I am 4 years owld!" she said holding up seven fingers.
I looked at her like she was some creature that popped up from the sewer.
She stood there smiling waiting for me to introduce myself, and all I did was smirk and slam the door in her face.
Now back to my- DING DONG!
I cursed and walked back to the door and opened it. That girl was still there and boy did she look pissed.
"Hey! I tried to be nice little sweet Kagome, but obviously you want to take it the hard way." The girl growled out placing her hands on her hips.
"Keh." I smirked and was about to close the door again when a foot jammed it.
"Hey, kid! Introduce yourself before I have to get mean." She pried the door open slowly.
This kid is a freak!
"InuYasha."
She looked a little startled and stopped trying to pry the door open.
"What did you say?" she asked quizzically.
"You wanted me to introduce myself! My name is InuYasha and I am 5 years owld." I mocked at her speech imparity.
She didn't seem to notice though all she did was smile.
"Hello, InuYasha, it is very nice to meet you." She bowed politely.
My eyebrow twitched in confusion, wasn't she just about to pummel me a second ago?
"What the hell, you trying to pull?" I asked her.
She grinned and looked over my head at something.
"InuYasha Taisho! How dare you say such horrid words to a young lady! That's a time out for you little man!" My mom caught me saying a bad word and I was grounded for a week.
Before I was dragged back into the house though, Kagome waved at me smiling and I finally caught on to her little scheme.
That sneaky wench! She knew my mom was behind me the whole time and she made me cuss.
"InuYasha, where in the world did you learn that word?" My mom asked as me a while later as my mouth was stuffed with a bar of soap.
"PwaPwa." I mumbled through the soap.
"HONEY! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU NOW!" She yelled and stomped out of the room.
When she left I smirked and took out the soap.
"Higurashi you are going down!"
I tried for the next 2 years to get Kagome back. From blackmail to even going so far as to dumping chocolate syrup over that perfect little head of hers. Hey! Guys take grudges seriously all right?
Neither worked.
I couldn't blackmail her because a) she was a little goody two shoes and b) . . . she was a little goody two shoes. Also I couldn't drop chocolate sauce all over her head because that stuff was frickin expensive back then!
Finally in 2nd grade I found it. I found The Kagome Higurashi's weakness.
She was scared of thunderstorms!
My mom was a best friend with Kagome's mom, since we were neighbors and she found out from her.
I was totally amazed. I had tried everything! I even put toads in her desk and all she did was smile and put them back outside. Thunderstorms! How could I have not thought of it before?
I knew the perfect plan! A harsh storm was supposed be approaching that night and I'd known that Kagome had to stay after school to wait for her mom. I grinned evilly because I had known that only I and a couple other demons knew about this from our keen sense of smell. I was finally going to make Kagome squirm.
About 2 hours after school let out was when the storm hit. I'd known it was going to be big, but not as big as it turned out. Only a couple minutes after the storm struck the sidewalk and streets were flooded. There was no thunder yet, so I had to withstand it until I knew I'd gotten Kagome back.
She was at the front door of the school with the water up to her knees. She was moaning a little because she was wet, but other than that, not scared. The power had gone out a while back and everything had gone pitch black.
Until one bolt of light flashed through the sky.
Then I heard it. I enormous sound echoed throughout the town, making my ears ring like crazy. Not only from the sound, but also from a scream that followed.
Kagome was petrified I could tell, because she was huddled against the door in a fetal position and crying.
I was ecstatic! I had gotten Kagome back, well not really, but I had made her squirm! Yes! After all those years of failure! I won! Ha Ha!
Then I heard another small whisper that only I could have heard with my ears.
"I-InuYasha-k-kun." She sobbed shivering.
Then I knew I couldn't just leave her. I mean she called my name. Out of all the people she could have called for she called me.
I'd sighed and was about to tell her I was sorry, when she went under.
She'd passed out and fallen under water.
"Kagome!"
I sprinted to where I saw her last, grabbed her around her waist and latched her onto my back.
I ignored the water, the thunder, and even the lightning that I knew might just strike me down and kill me.
All I cared about was that Kagome needed to be all right.
I made it to her house and found that her mom was home with the flu. I'd wondered why it'd taken so long for her to pick Kagome up.
Her mother got her and I warmed up with a couple blankets and a change of clothes that my mom brought over for me.
I was eating my bowl of noodle soup and watching over her when she finally came around.
"I-InuYasha-kun? Where am I?" she asked holding a hand to her head.
"You were outside in the storm when I found you passed out in front of the school. Then I brought you home and your mom cleaned you up." I'd explained.
She looked at me weirdly and I stared back. Finally after I was way passed annoyed I growled.
"What?"
"Well," she twirled the blanket I her fingers " Why did you save me? I thought you hated my guts." She asked quizzically.
"Keh. I couldn't just leave you out there I ain't that heartless." I stated and slurped down my soup.
"But-"
She was interrupted by a burst of thunder outside the window.
"Ahh!" she screamed and jumped on me, knocking the bowl out of my hands.
She snuggled into me and sobbed a little.
I sighed and stroked her back soothingly.
She calmed down after a while and apologized.
I just told her it was fine and was going to leave when she grabbed onto my haori. I glanced back at her with a questioning look and saw that she had her eyes tightly shut.
"I-InuYasha? Does this mean we're friends now?" she'd asked me fearing yet hopeful of my answer.
I considered it for a second. Me be a friend with my worst enemy? No way!
I looked into her eyes for a moment, and told her my answer.
"Keh. Whatever."
She looked at me curiously and finally comprehended what, I'd said.
She grinned her missing tooth grin and glomped me just like in the storm. Except this time there was no thunder.
"Yay! Yasha! We are going to be best friends forever." She said smiling and crushing me in her hug at the same time.
I closed my eyes and sighed contentedly. She smelled so good. And soon enough I dropped to the floor fast asleep.
Present Time
Okay I guess I lied. I did kind of save her. Not from someone though, something! Get it right people!
We stayed true to our word. We stayed over at each other's houses eating popcorn and watching movies, (most of which scared the hell out of Kagome, causing her to jump on me. I like those the best.) and going to the amusement park together.
All was great until our first year in junior high. That was when we began to part. All because of one thing.
Kagome found out she was a miko and had the powers to purify demons.
She could purify me and I could be normal.
I could be human.
Chapter is complete! Yay! I liked that chapter! Did you? Next chapter you are going to find out how InuYasha became "human" and why he and Kagome kind of . . . don't get along anymore.
Review!
P.S: I will be updating ALMU on Saturday! I repeat Saturday! November 18th!
Love Ya Lots,
Lil-Neko
