Chapter 4
Out of the pan and into the fire
I don't really think there has ever been a more peaceful morning. An absolute great fallow up a side for the slight throbbing of my head, last night was probably one of my more favorite nights.
Granted we didn't actually have sex but if the foreplay is this good I could only imagine, and granted I don't really have solid memory of last night but Oh if I could do it again I would then ask for more.
Riku wanted to drive me home but the sun was already out and I convinced him that the walk was a short one. Truth is I needed time to breath to cool down from the immense rush that was Riku. I could feel myself falling for him, I never knew it was possible in such a short time of two people knowing each other but its everything about him.
His contagious laugh, his sweetness along with his roughness, the way that he seems to know what I need and want. Being with him has been both terrifying and the best time I have ever had.
Somehow he has the ability to calm me even if the things we do take me out of my comfort zone. And even though all worries vanish from my mind a long with my common sense I can't help but wonders if this is right. I've always prided myself in being the girl with the strong moral values, when I'm with him his intensity and fire practically drown out all my poor moral values.
I stopped in front of my door and only when I swung the front door open did everything really crash in, like the fact that I technically stayed out all night. And even though I've sobered down I'm pretty sure my hair stinks of alcohol. I closed the door as quietly as I could so that maybe just maybe-
"Kagome" Crap.
"Can you come in here for a minute Dear?" My Mom called from the kitchen. Accepting my fate I clicked-clacked my way to the kitchen hurriedly brushing my hair with my hands. She turned her head and laughed at me then she went back to cooking.
"Quite a night I suppose" I groaned and suck down to the kitchen table
"Oh don't look so gloom and doom Honey, you'd think you just got handed your death warrant or something." I rubbed my aching head
"Isn't that why I'm here?" My mother sat down a plate of pancakes in front of me while taking her own seat next to me.
"You run off to the feudal states to battle monsters and such and you'd think I'd get my feathers ruffled just because you spent the night with your new boyfriend. What a catch by the way, I like Inuyasha better but whatever your heart tells you dear. I wouldn't mind having a half American grandchild, oh if he or she gets his blue eyes I'll just melt." I shook my head and thought about what she said for a moment.
"Wait.. What?" I asked, my Mother took a sip of her tea before answering me
"Riku's eyes are blue, right?" I blinked a couple of times, was it? I don't know if it's the drinks I poured down my throat but I can't seem to picture his eyes.
"Honey! You're dating him and you don't even know the color of his eyes?" My Mom asked shocked at me and I just stare back at her, she sighed
"Kagome I really do think you should tell Inuyasha, even if nothing is going on between you and him he needs to know you're not a free lady anymore." Knowing fully well that my Mom was not going to let up I regretfully agreed. I dreadfully made my way upstairs for a much need hot shower.
Moments later after reemerging from my room clean and fresh I noticed my mother had taken the liberty to restock my backpack and practically delivered me to Inuyasha.
"Remember Dear honesty is the best policy!" She shouted at me as I'm going down the well, the familiar blue light engulfing me.
"Easy for you to say" I grumbled as my feet touched the ground on the other side of the well. Lucky for me Inuyasha wasn't waiting for me like he usually does but that in itself had me worried.
Was he still mad? Would he be mad if I tell him about Riku? He seemed upset enough whenever I was around Koga or Hojjo. Which sadly enough diluted me into making a relationship out of his protectiveness, in a way I wasn't fearing telling him at all.
It would definitely put some much needed boundaries in our friendship, but boy the walk towards Kaede's hut did not get any easier. "KAGOME" Shippo shouted as he launched himself at me, I smiled his gesture actually calming my nerves. As I walked in I notice Inuyasha was no where near.
"Kagome! I'm so glad you're back." Sango says not willing to wake a slumbering cat on her lap up to give me a welcoming hug.
"Hey Sango, where's Inuyasha and the rest?" I asked taking the same crossed leg position on the floor like Sango was in. Shippo fallowing along with me curled himself on my lap and fell asleep faster then what I would have deemed possible.
"Lady Kaede is running an errand and I don't really know where Miroku and Inuyasha have gotten themselves to." I nodded enjoying the comfortable silence that fell between us. Moments later Miroku walked in, his eyes landing on Sango before looking at me.
"Lady Kagome so please to see you by our side once more" Having heard my name Inuyasha pushed past him and frowned down at me
"It's about time!" I glared at him when Shippo stirred awake
"Ohhh, Inuyasha! Why did you go and wake him up, he looked so tired." I whined
"He should be, he hasn't really slept since you left." Sango explained, I stared at the yawning kitsune forgetting how much my absence affected him.
"Hold on" Inuyasha suddenly said drawing the attention of everyone in the room, he walked up to me his steps heavy
"Stand up." He ordered, not really knowing why I just did as he said
"Something's not right here.." He whispered but loud enough so I caught it, he leans in and starts sniffing me! He started with my hair and to my embarrassment he didn't stop until he was at my waist, more or less my groin.
Suddenly he shot up glaring immensely at me, he stood tall and intimidating. I swallowed past the knot in my throat
"What's wrong with you!" I yelled, I couldn't help it he's really making me uncomfortable. "You!" He barked out and I took a step back
"Me?" I ask
"You let some bastard touch you!"
