little foot 91- Thank you for reviewing! I know I have a lot of grammatical and spelling errors, I try to work on them but I know I'm not great at proof reading, I really need a beta reader lol, or atleast someone who can read my story and let me know what error I'm making, unfortunately I'm not exactly sure how to work beta reading! Anyway, I'm super glad you've begun to enjoy the story :) I reccomend not checking out my other stories lmao, "Fangs" Was total crap and tbh I don't know if I'll continue it. But I appreciate your comment!
Kagome was sitting on a large stone at one of the lakes on the Academy's property. She loved the water. Mostly hot springs, she loved to bather in this more than she did bathing in her own bathtub.
But the water was peaceful, the lake calm and blue, reflecting the sun. It was beginning to get darker but the sky was a beautiful. Orange, pink and purple. Kagome watched the trees and the cat tail sway.
She remembered how she and Inuyasha seemed to have grown closer together. Kagome felt sadness wash over her. She and Inuyasha wouldn't be together though, he treated her like a sister maybe. But he hadn't shown any sexual interest in her. She felt a blush rise in her cheeks. Do you want him to show sexual interest? She asked herself.
She did.
She wanted him to show her he cared. Even if he just gave her the look she had remembered Sesshomaru giving Rin once when she had tried on this new dress, one the was rather tight too. Sesshomaru had looked at her like she was everything to him.
Kagome sighed as she tossed a pebble into the lake, watching the ripples spread. She wanted Inuyasha to look at her like that.
"Out here alone?" Kagome gasped and jumped as the man she was thinking about came into view, moving over to come sit by her on the rock. Kagome blushed, she hoped he hadn't been there the whole time, she was sure she looked like some lonely old woman.
"Uh, yeah. Just kinda relaxing out here." Kagome said with a small laugh. It was weird, normally even though Inuyasha could be nice, he was also a sarcastic asshole most of the time.
"Hmm." He said silently, staring ahead of them. "I'm not sure how this is relaxing, seems pretty boring to me, unless you enjoy watching the water do nothing and all these damn bugs eat you alive." He said. Kagome narrowed her eyes, yep, there it was.
"As a matter of fact, I do." She shot back at him, Inuyasha smiled and her heart fluttered.
"Always so snappy, Kagome." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Always so rude, Inuyasha." Inuyasha laughed, he stretched out, she tried not to stare at his biceps and focused on a turtle sitting on a log in the middle of the lake instead.
"When are you going back?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome shrugged, probably whenever he did.
"Am I missing something?" Inuyasha shook his head.
"Nah, but I think Sesshomaru wanted to know if you would talk to Rin about something, he says she's upset but he doesn't know what about." Inuyasha told her. Kagome was irritated now, so he was only here for her to do something for him.
Kagome stood. She remembered the time Inuyasha had licked her nose, acting so sweet. All of it was probably fake, he'd been doing nothing but asking her for favors since then.
"I think I'll head inside now." She said quickly, she turned to go but Inuyasha was already in front of her, holding her hand and looking at her confused. Damn he moved fast. She tried to ignore the heat racing up her arm where he held her hand.
"Wait what's wrong? Did I say something?" He asked, clearly not understanding why she was leaving. Kagome shook her head, pulled her hand free and started towards the woods.
"Nothing." Inuyasha grabbed her hand again, and with a quick pull, she was flush against him, chest to chest. Kagome's eyes widened as his bore into hers, they traveled down, to her lips. She heard him growl and heat pooled in her stomach as she shivered.
"Kagome..." He said softly, his hand slid to cup her cheek and he tilted her head back. He bent his head forward and Kagome's heart sped up. He was going to kiss her. His lips brushed over hers softly, and then he kissed her.
His lips were so soft and wonderful. Kagome closed her eyes as he kissed her again. She didn't know what to do at first seeing it was her first kiss but she slowly got it. Leaning forward she kissed him back. His tongue slid over her lip and he kissed her bottom lip one last time before he pulled away.
Kagome's breathing was hard as she moved her hands off his hard chest and tried to remember when they got there. Inuyasha gave half of a smile and stepped back.
"You need to get home, Kagome." Kagome nodded blankly. He laughed softly and pressed a kiss against her forehead.
"Goodnight, Kagome." He said, and with that he turned, and walked away. Leaving a stunned Kagome to wonder what the hell just happened.
Kagome was refilling her quiver or arrows when Mrs. Chiyo, her archery instructor, told her she needed to go see the head of the school immediately. Apparently it was some dire urgent meeting that she needed to be part of.
Kagome walked down the halls, thankfully knowing where this office was from the tours she had received when she had first arrived. She wasn't quite sure why she had to be present at this meeting. It may have to do with her being the princess of the Northern Miko Kingdom. But then again, wouldn't they call her mother in for that?
Kagome ignored the questions swimming through her head and continued down to the head director's office.
As soon as she opens the door, she figured something big was going on. Sesshomaru, Rin, Sango, Inuyasha, and a man with shorter dark hair and purple robes crowded around a man's desk. As soon as she opened the door, all eyes turned to her and she felt herself blush and a sense of nervousness fill her.
"Kagome, you've arrived." Came a scraggly half excited half irritated voice. Kagome stepped into the room and was met by an old man with a long white beard. His eyes were kind although a very dark brown and he had wrinkle lines around his eyes and mouth, but he wore a smile anyway. Kagome smiled back and gave a little wave that probably looked a bit pitiful, Sango smiled at Kagome and she felt herself relax a little.
"Hi," She told the man. "Um, they said I was needed fro an important meeting?" She left off the "or something" deciding she might sound not quite as mature if she did. The man nodded.
"Yes yes, I have something to tell all of you. You're going on a mission." Inuyasha groaned immediately. Were missions bad?
"Another one? We just got back a few weeks ago." The man gave Inuyasha a harsh glare and he shut his mouth, crossing his arms and glaring right back.
"As I was saying," The man continued. "There is a demon named Chokyukai. He has been enslaving and imprisoning women from nearby villages, taken them somewhere. No one knows where but I need you all to find it, find this place and bring them home once again." He finished. Kagome blanched. He wanted her to go on some mission to where? And do what?
She had never even fought youkai before! Sure she had lots of training and she'd probably be able to do it with a few more weeks practice but now? Wait, when were they going? Kagome raised her hand and the man nodded at her.
"When exactly do we leave?" She felt weird using the word we in the sentence, as if she had always been on this team.
"Tomorrow." He said. Inuyasha growled and then shut up again, even Sesshomaru had to take a deep breath.
Sango's eye twitched. Kagome held back a giggle.
"Tomorrow?" Sango asked.
"Tomorrow." He responded.
"Tomorrow." The other man with shorter hair said, rubbing his forehead.
"Tomorrow." The head man said again, nodding.
"Tomorrow." Rin mumbled, Inuyasha slammed his palm down on the desk before Mr. Chiyo could respond.
"We get it! It's tomorrow!" He ground out, his normally pointed dog ears seemed to have disappeared, until Kagome realized they were just pressed back against his skull. She said nothing though, stayed silent while Mr. Chiyo finished discussing details.
Her first mission, she was no where near ready.
As soon as Kagome returned to her home, she began piling clothes into an enchanted leather rucksack her mother had given her, the bag was enchanted to hold everything she needed and not fill, like her own personal chest. She just had to wish it and it appeared in the bag, as long as she had put it in there before.
She pulled out an off shoulder dress, a lace up coat, two of her normal dresses another long sleeved dress, and two silk shirts with matching shorts. She hurried and placed them in her bag, watching a flashing golden light as they disappeared. She hurried to her kitchen next, placing in three apple, four large carrots and three loaves of bread, a jar of olives and a large wedge of cheese along with an assortment of vegetables. After that, she made sure to bring some bandages, cloths and her hairbrush.
Kagome hesitated to bring the blanket her grandmother had made for her, it was black and white, but so so soft, made from the fur of the animals in the woods who had happily let her clip them before summer had begun. Kagome smiled when she remembered how one of the rabbits who had volunteered had seen the scissors and made a run for it, and how her grandmother had chased it around until she caught it.
Deciding she would need the luck, she placed it in the bag and sighed. What else would she need... the bag could only hold so much, it was no where near full at the moment but say she needed to add something rather large later, she would need the space. She put in two daggers that she had received from her father, though it wa sunikely she would use them since she was much more skilled with her longbow.
Kagome whistled, calling for snowball, which she hadn't seen much lately. The little fur ball squealed and came bounding through the window to land on her shoulder. Kagome giggled and gave him a pat on the head.
"Well hello there." She greeted him, the mink squealed again and raced off her shoulder, ran in a circle and then scurried back up. Kagome laughed, at least he was excited.
"We're going on a little mission tomorrow, do you know what that means?" She asked the guy, Snowball tilted his head, regarding her curiously. Kagome gave a sad smile, she didn't want to bring Snowball somewhere that could potentially be dangerous for him. She kissed the top of his white head.
"I won't be able to see you for a while, little guy." She said, Snowball's ears drooped, his eyes widened as he gave a sad whine. Kagome laughed and kissed his nose.
"I know, I'm sorry buddy. But when we got back we can have some more playtime alright? How about you stay at the Kingdom while I'm gone? But you can sleep with me tonight?" She offered. Snowball clearly enjoyed this invitation. He leaped off her shoulder and scurried over to one of her pillows, walking in a circle and settling down in a little ball against the white satin.
"Go ahead and make yourself comfortable." Kagome said, rolling her eyes. She pulled back the covers and settled into bed next to him. She stroked the top of his head and gave another kiss to his nose.
"Goodnight, Snowball." She whispered quietly. The mink gave a purring sound and Kagome laid back. She ended up falling asleep to her own thoughts and worries.
