Six months later, this still was going on, and Inuyasha's attempts to get a hit on Freya were getting more and more ferocious. But, again and again, she just blocked him and told him to get lost or find something more constructive to do. He simply refused to face his feelings, and she refused to let him hit her until he did.
Kagome and Shippo watched the two with an interest level of a critic who had seen the same movie way too many times. They did what they usually did and didn't really move anywhere or try and stop them, since doing so would only get Inuyasha even more pissed off than he already was with Freya.
Then Kagome decided to finally do something to get the two hardheaded idiots together.
"We're going into town and taking a break. I'm not going to get any arguments from anyone."
When they arrived in town, Kagome took Shippo and took off. Inuyasha growled, then started to walk off by himself. Freya shook her head and grabbed him.
"Hey! Let go of me!"
"Just shut up and come with me."
She dragged him to the nearest inn, where there was a hot spring. She reserved two rooms, not even close to each other, one near the bathhouse and the other near the entrance, then yanked Inuyasha into the changing room. His face turned several shades of red as she put her sword aside, then dropped her clothes on the ground, stepping out of her socks.
"Don't drag me in here then undress in front of me! That's sick and wrong!" he yelled. A/N: As far as I know, Inuyasha isn't a pervert, but then again, I don't know if he would get embarrassed if some girl was naked in front of him. Then again, I haven't seen much, so I'm just wingin' it.
She gave him a glare that told of her annoyance and that she would take no nonsense right now. She then started pulling his clothes off, and he protested, "Hey! I can undress myself! No way am I going in there with you! Hands off me, bitch!" A/N: Freya does have a mind of her own and won't let anyone get in her way if she wants something, but she isn't undressing him to get fresh, she isn't like that.
Again she said nothing, but yanked him into the hot spring, sitting down herself.
"What the hell do you bring me in here for?!" he demanded.
Her reply was soft and calm. "Although fighting with you verbally is fun, you trying to hit me is annoying."
"I just want to hit you so bad for saying all those things to me!"
"Even if they're true?"
"Yes!"
She was distracted momentarily by the argument, but then got back on track. "I won't let you out of here until you admit that you feel something other than hate for me."
He growled and crossed his arms over his chest.
For ten minutes silence reigned, but he was starting to feel a little dizzy from the heat and was tired of being so stubborn all the time. "Dammit, all right! I like you! The heat's just getting to me, that's all."
Her face broke out into a beautiful smile, then she dived under and swam to him, then surfaced, hugging him close. He turned bright red at the contact and tried shoving her away. "Don't hug me like that, woman! Let me go!"
She started laughing and hugged him closer, running her hands down his back. He captured her lips in a possessive kiss and gripped her back so his nails pierced the skin. She didn't seem to care, just responded.
After an hour, he was nearly beneath the surface of the water, he was so exhausted. She smiled and lifted him up, dressing them in two yukata, then carried him to the room she'd reserved. She knew that Kagome and Shippo would get the message at the front of the inn that they were to stay in the second room that night.
While Inuyasha slept, she looked around the room, feeling how peaceful it was. She hummed to herself a tune, which she remembered from her life in the heavens. She then started to sing something from the back of her mind.
Oh I…
Never let nobody know me
Never let nobody dare
Never let somebody hold me, long enough for me to care
'Til I found you
'Til I found you
Never let my guard down easy
Never let myself let go
I never know the reason why, I never let my feelings show
But till I felt, the pain, of lovin' you
And that's what hurts when we say goodbye
And that's what hurts on those sleepless nights
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I'm lost inside of you
And that's what hurts…
Oh…
Never let nobody touch me
Never let nobody try
Never let somebody hold me, deep enough to make me cry
'Til I found you
'Til I found you
I was strong and independent
Never needed anyone
I thought I had it all together
Until you came and proved me wrong
Now I'm stronger, with you, in my life
And that's what hurts when we say goodbye
And that's what hurts on those sleepless nights
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I'm lost inside of you
And that's what hurts, yeah, that's the catch
'Cause the heart's not good at holding back
It's a blessing and a curse
And I don't know what's worse
And that's what hurts…
Sometimes I wanna run
Sometimes I feel just like a fool
And sometimes I'm even sorry, baby, that I fell in love with you
And that's what hurts when we say goodbye
And that's what hurts on those sleepless nights
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I'm lost inside of you
And that's what hurts, yeah, that's the catch
'Cause the heart's not good at holding back…
Tears came to her eyes, since she knew that this might not last, since she had to go back to her own time. The promise she made, plus she knew she was needed in the heavens. I don't know how much more I can stand. I've found love, but can I keep it?
I don't own whoever wrote this song, I just know its from Runaway Bride, which I don't own either.
