Sorry for the late update. I got busy this past few days and I'm not in the mood I do not know why, maybe it has something to do with the alignment of the stars and the planets…Just kidding.

Thank you again for your reviews. Hope you like this one. Enjoy reading! Arrigato.

Chapter VII

Double the trouble

Inuyasha stood up to open the door when he heard someone knocking. It was still early evening and someone from the village might have needed Kikyou's help.

He opened the door to find two old women smiling at him meaningfully, eying him from head to toe, making him conscious at himself.

"What do you want? Kikyou is not here" he told them plainly, raising his voice slightly, annoyed at the two. The old ladies were the ladies that had been there earlier, Old Remi and Old Kiyara. Remi smiled warmly at him.

"You must be Kikyou's husband, what is your name lad?"

Inuyasha's mouth fell open, slightly mailings. "Wha…what…? Mm….he…her…husband?" he blushed deep red as his clothes at the thought of her and him as a couple.

"Yes, you, what is your name?" He is very engrossed with the idea

'So they thought I'm her husband.'

"I…I'm Inuyasha…" he answered them stuttering but proud.

"Oh Inuyasha dear, I am so glad you already found her, and we are thankful that her memory is back. Anyway please accept this sake as a gift for both of you from the villagers. We are looking forward of seeing your children grow in our village." she gave him a meaningful look and winked at him. She handed him the sake in a large jar container.

"Inuyasha had a puzzled look, blushing about what they said about him and Kikyou having children.

"You know what I mean. Here this might help. We will be going now, bye Inuyasha my dear and tell Kikyou we said hi, bye." They bowed and left the petrified Inuyasha holding the jar of sake. Face deeply flushed, different shades of red can be seen on his cute cheeks.

He put the jar in a safe place and sat down nest the hearth thinking about what the old woman said.

'Husband of Kikyou? They are looking forward to see OUR children?' he smiled to himself, he didn't know where his happiness is coming from. He felt elated and euphoric just thinking about it. It was their plan a long time ago, he, to be a human and they will live normally. Loving each other till death...and even after death….

If someone would look at him, one would think he is going insane because he is smiling at himself eyes almost dreamy…

He looked at the jar of sake. 'What could this be? What is this sake?' In his whole hayou life he had heard sake but hasn't really tried it.

He stood to get it and place it in front of the fire.

"Now what can you do to us?" What does it mean when the woman told him he knew what they meant?

"Keh, whatever, if this will help me to get her back I'll take my chances." he said to himself as if drinking sake is a big deal. This hanyou had never known sake, never tasted it and never knew what effect it could bring him. He poured it to a small container and drink it.

"Heh, not bad, maybe it will taste better if I heat it up a bit." he heated the bottle container before pouring it to his container and drinks it.

'Kikyou might like this stuff. It taste good and it is making me feel better too. She'll have to try this stuff.'

This time he drank the whole bottle. " Keh, this really is good,I wonder if there are food left, maybe this will taste better if there is something solid that comes with this." he stood up to find what he is looking for.

………………………………..

After spending time thinking Kikyou is nearing her house. 'Inuyasha must still be there'. She slid the door to find him drinking bottle of sake. His face has tinged of blush on his cheeks, he puts down the sake at the moment she entered.

"Oh..Kikyou you're back" he stood but fell on his butt. The alcohol is making him dizzy.

"Inuyasha, what happened here? What are all these?" Looking at the bottle of sake and the plates of food.

"Two old woman came here and gave this to me, they told me this will help me be with you and oh.. they thought I am your hu..husband…" he blushed looking down. Kikyou knelt beside him, she knew who gave this to him, and they didn't know that this hanyou had known nothing about wine. Look what he's done to himself. She held both his arms and helped him get up.

"Now, Inuyasha, get up you need to stop drinking, I'll bring you to the hot spring to waken you a little."

Inuyasha is tipsy and dizzy, he held on her shoulder his arms around her lithe form. When they stood up she was surprised at his weight and he got off balance tumbling both of them on the floor. Kikyou found herself lying on the floor, Inuyasha on top of her looking at her eyes intently his face suddenly serious. Her heart is beating fast she didn't like him get serious. He looked at her lovingly. He brought his hands on her checks while the other prop himself up not to crush her beneath him. He is looking at her while his hands played with her hair then to her cheeks. He leaned closer till his lips found her ears, he whimpered to her and his hot breath makes her shiver.

"Don't leave me again Kikyou….Aishiteru…." Her eyes widened upon hearing this. Familiar feeling rushed to her. Tears trilled down her cheeks.

She breathes his name. "Inuyasha…" Upon hearing his name, he kissed her ears, her cheeks, the corner of her lips, he looked at her before closing his eyes to meet her lips. His lips move against hers she could fell his soft warm lips move against hers, his thumb went to her chin and pulled them carefully. It made her lips parted and when she let it happen, his tongue went inside her mouth searching for a response.

Swirling emotions rushed through her chest, she felt slightly dizzy upon the contact, to feel his tongue move inside her, exploring, she cannot think anymore. The only thing she could do is to feel. Feel her against her, feel his lips and hands on her. She closed her eyes and met his moves inside her lovely mouth. He is not thinking anymore all that matters now is Kikyou. Let the whole world be done let the time stop for he wanted to sya with her at this moment. Her response ignited his passion more and it felt heavenly good, returning what he felt for her. They kissed passionately hungry for one another. Her arms instinctively went on his hair and the other to his neck. Her touches made him moan softly, tasting each other, feeling each other in the arms of the people they love. Following the screams of their passion and desires for each other. It was intoxicating, his sweet taste and the sake blending together. He felt the same way, his arms went to her waist and pressed her against him. It was her turn to moan as she felt him harden against her. They stayed there for a few more moment until the need of air made them stop.

"Kikyou…" he kissed her cheeks again, moving down to her jaw, to her neck, her eyes remained closed as she feels him rain kisses upon her. His hands moving to her neck, her cheeks, until he found a better place to settle his hands. She felt his hands made contact at her right breast making her eyes shot open. He returned to her face and kissed her once more as his feathery touches please her. She let him do to her what he was doing, even if she cannot remember anything it still fells so right to be with him. She felt as if they really belong together. His taste seems very familiar to her.

Inuyasha is only following what his heart is telling him to do. Both of them are inexperienced and let everything be damned if she is a miko, he'll do every thing to set her free. Just like when they planned to settle together. All he could do is to follow his desires for her. Let the time stop only to be with her. His hands went to her neck sliding down to the opening of her robe he trailed it and slid it down her shoulders, it exposed her creamy smooth skin. She could only feel his movements, his whispers, his plead.

'I could feel he and I belong together even if I cannot remember anything, I would just wonder how both of us fit together as if we are made for each other. But…but…'

She still has to think, to stop him of what he is doing to her. Of course he wanted him but she could not help thinking that this is not right for he is driven by his passions to her, she cannot take advantage of it because as of now he was drunk. He is the influence of alcohol, the wine helping him take over her. She would not let it happen, even if it is very hard on her to stop. She has to, she is not the type of woman who will take advantage of any situation. She pushed him ever so lightly and when she did Inuyasha's inquisitive look loomed over hers.

"Inuyasha we should stop, you are drunk and you do not know what you are doing." she said it in her soothing voice.

He looked at her and for a moment in silence then he smiled warmly at her. It was her turn to have the inquisitive look upon him. He remained silent and stood up straight, the alcohol already left its effect on him. That's what hanyou body can do, they are stronger than human. Even in the influence of alcohol. Kikyou sit up straight looking up at him. He offered her his hand and she accepted it.

"Kikyou, let's go to the hot spring." And with no further questions she agreed.

It was a starry night and the night's breeze is everywhere greeting all the creatures and trees around the hot spring.

When he saw this he immediately run to the water without putting away all his clothes.

"No! Inuyasha don't wet your clothes again." she remembered the night they met and she would not let anything like that happen again. She would not let him be naked in the house for the rest of the night while he dried his clothes. She run for him and when he heard her he stopped in the edge of the pool while she held his collar.

"Stop."

When he turned he stepped on the stone and it rolled away making him loose his balance, he grabbed her waist for support not to fall on the water but her slight body didn't help, she was dragged by his weight sending them both in the water. SPLASH!

Both of them immerged in the water, Inuyasha's hands still wrapped on her waist her hands holding on to his shoulders. They fell silent looking at each other. The only thing she could see is a serious face of Inuyasha, beautiful eyes looking at her, his hair damped making him, look more gorgeous than ever, his clothes clung to his well build torso. Their faces inches away. He just stood there and looking staring at her eyes, her lips, her face, her hair sticking at her face making look more angelic. She is beautiful. Always beautiful, he could feel her waist encased ion his arms. He pulled her closer. What is he doing?

He looks like a man, a real man. A man with estrangement and dreams, she watched him as his serious face went closer to her locking his lips on her. His eyes closed, he brought his left arms to her neck and the other pulled her waist even more. She could feel his warm soft lips against her. He kissed her so gently she responded like earlier and when air was demanded by their lungs they let go of each others lips. He smiled.

"Kikyou I was not drunk earlier, I know what I am doing. I am stronger than you thought, I'm a hanyou remember."

She blushed at his explanation at what happened earlier.

"I respect you more than anyone in this world, I will wait Kikyou, until the day you would remember me. Aishiteru… Kikyou." he said before releasing her.

She was speechless all she could do is to smile shyly unable to hide her feelings for him any longer. It was hard to admit but somehow deep inside her she could feel something for her even in her mind they just met. She is happy every time she is with him. It was just hard for her to accept for she could not trust any one, her heart was just too stubborn and is always on Inuyasha's side. She turns her back to him and decided to leave.

"Kikyou, don't go."

"Inuyasha, I can feel things when I'm with you, emotions all foreign to me. It was familiar but strange. I lost my memory but I will do my best to remember you. I am just confused right now. I am confused about what I felt for you. I do not know what to do…" Without seeing him he smiled when he heard him say these. Hearing that somehow her feelings for him was returning, he will wait, little by little she will return, she will remember. (A/N: I am getting confused too. sigh.)

"I understand." silence before speaking again.

"I'll take a bath now. You do not have to worry I'm not going to sleep with wet clothes again. I will come back to home when this is dried. So I would not cause you another problem."

She went out of the water. She faces him again. "I'll be going now. Don't stay too long in the night you might catch cold. I am sorry I don't have extra clothes for you. O yasumi nasai." She left him with a blush on her face.

When he saw her disappear he sighed. Guess who'll spend the night out side.

……………………………

When he returned it was almost dawn. The morning stars shines above the serene little hut. It took all night to dry his clothes but he immediately retuned to her Inuyasha found her sleeping peacefully. Food readied for him. His futon ready for his return. He smiled. She never failed to amaze him. He could always find himself falling even more in love with her, at least she cared for him seeing what lays readied for him.

He smiled. 'She forgot I don't sleep in futon' but still he slid himself beneath the covers, looking at her sleeping figure…."Good night Kikyou" he laid silently and slept smiling.

……………………

The field trip is over and Kagome is already lying on her bed.

"Inuyasha…..I'll be back tomorrow, I know you already miss me" she giggled then went to sleep dreaming of seeing him soon.

……………………

Naraku was nowhere to be found not even any sign of him. Miroku and Sango, already suspicious about it. He is planning something, definitely planning something big…."

……………………

Inuyasha woke up to see an empty futon beside him. Like always, food is ready for him. She is very good at cooking and he truly misses the REAL food. (A/N: Unlike the very unhealthy and full of preservatives that modern wench is bringing him. He was left with no other choice since she did not know how to cook and worst is, it doesn't taste like its edible. Yuck.) Kikyou's absence brings him uncomfortable feeling, sensing something bad is going to happen today. Dark clouds gathered above him threatening a heavy rain to fall.

"Kikyou where are you?" He began to search for her.

……………………..

Naraku is watching her every move, he cannot take his eyes off her, and he hates it. He hates it that he cannot harm her, that she hunts his dreams. His desires unsated without her. Damn Onigumo's heart, he despised the way it beats for her. Obsessed with her, he need to have her soon or he'd be damned to his desires and unsated lust, eating him alive.

Watching from afar is not enough for him, he needs her, her body, her heart, her soul. He needs to be with her every minute, every second that is why constantly he would just admire her inside Kanna's mirror….And now he is watching her with him! That fucking bastard! He tried to ruin them a long time ago but now they are together again and he is with Kikyou, the alive, breathing Kikyou, within that hanyou's reach.

For a moment he got confused. Why is he with her anyway? Isn't he supposed to be with that bitch named Kagome! Why is Kikyou letting him stay with her? Isn't she supposed to push him away? No! Definitely there is something wrong with the picture, besides her being alive. He has to find out what it is. He smirked. He'll find it out himself.

………………………………..

It was early in the morning, she is gathering medicinal herbs again, her hair playing with the wind. She stretched from her sitting position to find dark clouds gather above her. Upon seeing this she suddenly felt her chest tighten, something's going to happen, she could feel it and she didn't like it. The smile that was there since that evening fades away as she heard someone approaching. When she tuned to see what is it or who is it, black smoke covered her, chocking her then she felt arms catch her as she falls to consciousness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next Chapter: Naraku has another version of her memory. Will Kikyou believe him.

Wait for my next update. I will do my best to bring it to you ASAP. Take care.
