Sesshomaru was right; Inuyasha Takahashi had messed up. He had kissed the enemy, and enjoyed it as well. Blushing he opens his mouth to explain, but the only thing that comes out is a strangled croak. Inuyasha fixates his eyes on the grass, as Kagome looks away from him. Shipp was quiet, and then explodes into a fit of laughter. "Wait until Kikyou finds out about this!" Suddenly Inuyasha looks up with a murderous look.
"You say a word to her and you`ll never be able to have children of your own- fucking rat." He growls at him, Shippo gulps, and nods his head. Sesshomaru shakes his head at Inuyasha, pinching the bridge of his nose. It was then that Kagome notices the similarity in bodily structure between the two. The only difference was that Sesshomaru was made more of lean muscle rather then large, strong, bulging muscle like Inuyasha. Shippo`s body was a little bit bulkier than Sesshomaru`s, but not by a lot. Which somehow led to the question of- why were out so late at night?
"Say, what are you guys doing out so late at night?" Kagome questions, Shippo brings out a football, which immediately answers her questions. "Oh." She says, and slightly makes eye contact with Inuyasha before looking away.
"What were you guys doing out so late at night as well? It`s well over one in the morning." Sesshomaru says calmly, Inuyasha looks up at his elder brother.
"I couldn`t sleep so I came out here, on the way here I bumped into Kagome and she wanted to come along."
"And you let her?"
"The girl doesn`t really give up easily." Kagome snorts at his statement.
"You didn`t even ask me to leave you alone- or why I wanted to tag alone." Kagome says, Inuyasha stays silent. Sesshomaru`s eyes trail over to the net, with the soccer ball resting peacefully under it.
"You`re still trying to pursue that dream, brother?" Sesshomaru questions, his voice gentle. "Father told you to give up on it." He adds with narrowed eyes. Inuyasha huffs, and looks down at the turf.
"Whatever- I made it onto the national team, Fluffy. That`s something he should have been proud of- not bothered by it. I would have competed in the World Cup, Fluff. You know I`m good, dad knows I`m good, mom knows I`m good! Everyone knows I`m good at what I do! So why?! Why the hell didn`t he let me live my life the way I wanted to live it!" Inuyasha gets up, aggressively balling his hands up into fists at his sides. Sesshomaru calmly takes him by the shoulder, and pushes him down. Kagome watches in silence, along with Shippo. "Was it jealousy? Was he jealous that I`m better at it than he could ever be?"
"Nonsense." Sesshomaru mutters, and looks at him in the eye, "Inuyasha, father could never be jealous of his own son. His own flesh and blood- it`s like being jealous of himself. He was worried about you. Worried about the fact that you could take a bad fall, have a serious injury and not be able to play again."
"I`m half demon Sesshomaru, I get knocked down and I`ll get right back up." Inuyasha says, one hand around his brothers wrist.
"What if you happen to play on the night of the new moon, the world will know your dirty secret. I know you hate this- this whole human thing. So if not even you, yourself can bare this secret- imagine yourself if the world finds out about it." Inuyasha freezes up at the possibility. That was a major setback. "Your mother- she worries about everything that has to do with you. She loves you too much to let you get hurt, or have the world find out about this. He didn`t let you live your life the way you wanted because of these reasons- safety reasons, emotional reasons. It had nothing to do with jealousy. It had to do with protection. Of course, he still isn`t protecting us from the media." Sesshomaru sighs as if all the talking had made him exhausted. Inuyasha grumbles, and crosses his arms. Kagome sighs.
"Fool." She breathes, Shippo, Sessomaru and Inuyasah turn to look at her. "He was trying to protect you from these possibilities, and you still think he hates you. How dense can you get. " She gets up, eye to eye with Inuyasha, and she places a hand on his shoulder, and squeezes. "He doesn`t hate you, nor is he jealous." Inuyasaha suddenly gets the urge to kiss her again, but bites his lip and looks down. Shippo sighs, and shakes his head.
"Couldn`t have said it any better." Shippo says, earning a hit on the head from Inuyasha. "Ow! Even human he`s strong."
"I`m pure muscle idiot! Of course I`m strong! If I was demon right now I would have sent you six feet under." Inuyasha says, smirking. Kagome glares at him, but somehow, she can`t seem to glare at him hard enough. Then she turns to Sesshomaru, who seemed slightly amused by the fight between Shippo and Inuyasha.
"Sesshomaru, you mentioned earlier the media. Does this mean paparazzi and stuff like that?" Sesshomaru nods his head.
"When your father is a famous writer- and in Inuyasha`s case your mom is a retired Victoria`s Secret's model, well you tend to get a bit attention yourself." Kagome`s eyes nearly bulge out of her head. She turns to look at Inuyasha.
"Retired Victoria`s Secert`s model?!" Kagome practically yells at him. Inuyasha takes a few steps back. "Who is she?!"
"Calm down woman! Fucking god! I ani`t telling you! You`ll have to wait and met her."
"When can I met her! Oh and who`s your dad! I wanna know! I wanna know!" Kagome jumps up and down like a crazed fangirl. Inuyasha rolls his eyes at her.
"Fine, I`ll tell you my dads name. It`s Inu No Tashio- usually shortened to InuTashio. So, InuTashio Takahashi." Kagome gasps and this time Shippo rolls his eyes.
"No fucking way. No motherfucking way! Inuyasha! He`s my favorite writer of all time! You guys are so fucking lucky!" Then she turns to Sesshomaru, "What about your mom?"
"She`s dead." He snaps angrily and turns around, beginning to walk away; Sesshomaru flickers his wrist, "Come Shippo." Groaning, Shippo turns around, waving a goodbye over his shoulder.
"So you`re telling me you actually like those sappy lil` love stories my dad writes?" Inuyasha rolls his eyes, as they sat on his bed. "He`s such a sappy lil` hopeless romantic little shit. Seriously, sometimes I wonder why my mom even liked him enough to get married with him, do the frickle frackle and have me." Kagome laughs at what he said. "Seriously like I can imagine how awkward it must have been for him to propose." She laughs even harder at that. Inuyasha continues to ramble, taking on a deep fake voice, "`Will-Will you marry me?`" Kagome nearly falls off his bed, Inuyasha takes on a high-pitched voice, "`Omg like yes- wait why the hell are you crying?" Instantly Inuyasha is cupping her face in his hands , rubbing his thumbs across her cheeks to wipe away the tears. He notices that she`s giggling, and then lets go of her, looking away blushing. Kagome calms down, and wipes her tears away.
"Hey Inuyasha?" Kagome asks, softly placing a hand on his shoulder. Inuyasha turns around with soft indigo eyes, and her heart skips a beat again. "Why did you kiss me?"
Inuyasha takes in a sharp breathe, and then exhales before he again cups her cheeks in his hands, "I have no idea." He whispers, smirking a little. Running a thumb over her soft skin, "I think it`s just- human emotions? I don`t know, it just sort of happened." He moves his hands to the top of her head, where he begins to play with her hair. Kagome turns around and allows him to begin playing with her hair. "It meant nothing, it was completely on impulse, I didn`t mean to kiss you, honestly." His tone was harsh, and blunt. But deep down inside, Inuyasha felt as though he was lying to both himself and Kagome.
"Oh." Kagome whispers back, "okay." Then, after a few moments of Inuyasha silently braiding her hair, she speaks again, quietly. Softly. Lovingly. "Do you love Kikyou?" She sounded like a little girl-curious about adult things. Inuyasha freezes, and stops braiding her hair for a moment, before continuing.
"Of course I do. Kikyou is- she`s a great person once you get past her slight attitude and slutty clothes." Who am I kidding? I hate her. Inuyasha thinks, "really, she`s a really good person, with good intentions. Did you know she's studying to become a vet?"
"I can tell you`re lying." Kagome responds, and then points at the picture of Inuyasha and his mother on his nightstand. "Who`s that?" Inuyasha glances at the picture.
"My mom." He says, his eyes glistening with admiration for his mother, as his mouth breaks out into a wide smile. "She`s the best person on this planet, she`s just so funny, and understanding. I love her to death." Inuyasha says, chuckling.
"So the exact opposite of you?"
"Feh! I`m A great person wench!"
"I beg to differ." Kagome responds, laughing. "I wonder if we`ve woken up anyone."
"Nah, everyone here are super deep sleepers." He replies with a yawn.
"Are you a deep sleeper?"
"Yeah, there could be an air raid going on in my room and I`d still sleep soundlessly."
"Same." Kagome says, laughing softly, "Once my cousin was giving birth, and I fell asleep next to her. Didn`t even hear her screaming, or the little brat."
"Oh look, we have something in common." Inuyasha points out.
"Yeah, I wonder what else we might have in common. Can you sing?"
"Actually, I can." Inuyasha says, and then sings a small piece of Lana Del Rey`s Summertime Sadness.
"Holy shit. I can listen to you sing all day."
"I`ll take that as a compliment. Play any instruments?"
"Nope. I`ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar though, what about you?"
"Guitar and drums. Sesshomaru plays the cello."
"It`s late." Kagome says, noticing the time on his alarm clock. "Mind if I stay here?"
"No." Inuyasha says, Kagome is slightly surprised, but doesn`t question. She watches as he hops off of his bed, and walks towards a chair, and settles down in it.
"The hell are you doing?" Kagome asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Sleeping."
"In a chair?"
"Yeah. " Inuyasha says, Kagome sits up in his bed slightly. "What?"
"Come here." Kagome says, laying back down, taking a deep breathe. His pillow smelled like lavender and jasmine.
"No I`m fine." Inuyasha replies, closing his eyes.
"Inuyasha, come on! I don`t feel comfortable with you sleeping in a chair- it is your room and all."
"I`m fine, Kagome."
"Please?" Inuyasha`s eyes open at the pleading tone she uses, and groans as he walks over to his bed, and lays down next to her.
"Happy now?" He questions, looking over at her. Kagome smiles, and crawls on top of him, and kisses him. He freezes slightly, but relaxes and wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her back, whimpering slightly when she pulls back.
"Now I am." She whispers, and flips off of him, snuggling into his covers. This felt so wrong yet so right to her. Inuyasha smirks, and watches as her breathing steadies, her face relaxes, and she`s into a deep slumber. From up close, she looks so innocent and beautiful. Falling asleep himself, Inuyasha drapes an arm around her waist and pulls her closer to his body.
