Chapter 7
Once they had left the house, Miroku turned to Sango and said, "I'll let you go first. But before that you have to know that I'm really sorry for making you cry the way you did…for making you feel so unimportant."
"Uh…I told her not to tell you." Sango hissed as she made her way down the stairs. "And who the hell was that guy that Kagome left with?"
"First of all she didn't tell me a thing; I always know what it is that I do and how I leave you feeling. Secondly that was my best friend Inuyasha and he will protect her with his life."
"If you know how it makes me feel why do you still do it? Hell you can at least make sure that I know you don't mean to make me feel like that." Sango stated an angry voice as she reached his side.
"Because I know that you would only ask questions that I'm not ready to answer." Miroku answered truthfully.
"Then why am I even dating you. We've been together for this long and you still can't tell me what is going on. Miroku I'm getting sick of it." Sango stated in a tired voice.
"What do you mean by sick of it?" Miroku asked in a confused and slightly panicked voice.
After taking in a deep and calming breath, Sango locked eyes with Miroku and answered, "What I mean is, if you can't be honest with me and if you have to keep your secrets then I'm not so sure anymore if I can live with you."
"Sango, you can't be serious." Miroku stated as he reached for her hand. "You know I love you and that I would die for you. You are the most important thing in my life, I can't live without you."
"I know, I know how much you love me because I love you just as much if not more but if your job is going to be what pulls you from my side very night then I'm not so sure I can continue living like this. I'm tired of waking up alone; I'm tired of being alone for most of the day when I don't work. I'm tired of you leaving in the middle of our dates because you get called in." Sango stated as tears began to run down the side of her face. "I'm tired of being alone when I'm living with you."
She hadn't intended to cry like this, she hadn't wanted this. She just wanted to tell him what was bothering her so that he could change. So that he could make her feel as if she was the most important thing in the world just like he always told her. But she just couldn't bottle it up anymore. She didn't have enough room in her heart to bottle up any more of the loneliness, angry and disappointment.
Miroku quickly pulled her into a huge and held her as he tried to calm her. As he tried to get her to stop crying so that he would be able to continue to talk to her. He needed to tell her the truth and he needed to tell her soon. Before she left him, before she gave him a reason to give up in life. Once he felt that she was starting to calm down, Miroku took in a deep breath and said, "Please don't leave me, I couldn't bare it if you did. I want you at my side."
"Why? Why do you want me to stay alone in this room? Why do you want to keep me by myself?" Sango asked in a broken voice. "Why do you have to say all of this when you just me feeling so alone in the world?"
"What if I promise to show you where I work when it comes time to go to the Christmas part this year?" Miroku offered in a gentle voice.
"You never take me…you never go." Sango pointed out as she looked up at him.
"I would rather show you why I have to been leaving you alone, I want to show you to see if you would join me…to work with me." Miroku stated in a serious voice. 'Please…don't hate me.'
"Are you sure you'd be able to get me a job?" Sango asked.
"I will, even if I have to blackmail my boss into it." Miroku answered her with a smile on his face. "This way we'll always be together."
Realizing what he was doing for her, Sango took in a deep breath and said, "Well I guess it all worked out then."
"What do you mean by that?" Miroku asked.
"Well I didn't do so good with my classes this semester so I was thinking of just dropping out of law school and training so that I can become a demon slayer master." Sango explained. "That or a business major…one of the two."
With a grin on his face, Miroku kissed his girlfriend before saying, "Well then it would just make your job a whole lot easier."
And before Sango could ask what he meant, Miroku slammed his lips against her. She was happy that it was all going to end. She would just have to deal with it until the end of the month. After that she would be able to work with him. To be with him a lot more so that she didn't feel so alone. She could finally deal with the fact that she was the most important thing to him and know that it was true. Know that what he told her every morning when they work up he meant it because he would risk his job just for her.
Just as they had reached her house, Kagome closed the door behind her and said, "Make yourself at home, I'm going to go and get changed really quick."
"Why? You look hot in that." Inuyasha growled as he reached for her hand only to grab air.
"To slow puppy, anyway are you hungry? I can fix you some ramen, that's all I got here." Kagome stated.
"What's ramen?" Inuyasha asked.
With a grin on her face, Kagome locked eyes with him and said, "You got to be kidding me right?"
"No…what the hell is ramen?" Inuyasha growled out as he tried to not feel embraced.
After taking in a deep breath, Kagome walked to the kitchen as she said, "I'll show you…but you have to play a little game with me if you like it."
'Something isn't right here…he seems vaguely familiar.' Kagome thought as she made her way into the kitchen.
"Feh, fine, I don't think I'll like it anyway." Inuyasha replied as he walked over to the table and took a seat. 'I eat the best food every day, what makes this wench think that she can make something that I'll like.'
Having nothing to say to him, Kagome began to get her things together so that she would be able to make the ramen she had. Once she looked for the right things, Kagome turned to Inuyasha and asked, "Pork, beef, or chicken?"
"I'll have beef." Inuyasha answered.
"Alright." Kagome stated as she pulled out to cups; one of her and one for him.
After making sure that they were done, Kagome gave one cup to Inuyasha and said, "Careful its still pretty hot."
"I know you are but what about the food." He tried to flirt.
"Nice try, anyway, here give it a try." Kagome stated as she handed him a pair of chop sticks.
After a while of silence and enjoying her cup of ramen, Kagome looked up to find Inuyasha eyeing her. Once she was sure that he had had enough, Kagome shrugged her shoulders, walked into the living and turned on the TV. It didn't really matter to her if he liked it or not or if he would follow with the little agreement they had made. She just wanted to relax and think of a way to get to her family Christmas part so that she could talk to her father about what had happened with Kikiyo. She also needed to make sure that trade places with Kikiyo when she was to be tested so that nothing happened to her while she was with a child. 'Damn it…there is no one that is qualified to protect her.' Kagome thought. 'I might have to go back.'
Kagome was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Inuyasha sit down next to her and ask, "So, what kind of game did you have in mind?"
"Oh, so he liked it?" Kagome asked in a mocking tone.
"Can it wench and answer my question." Inuyasha growled out.
After hitting him over the head, Kagome let out a low growl of her own and said, "It's simple really, all you have to do is answer the ten questions honestly and that's it. You can ask ten questions in return but you cannot lie. I'll know if you are lying to me or not."
"You don't have my noise, how will you know if I'm lying or not?" Inuyasha asked with a matter-of-fact tone.
With a grin on her face, Kagome locked eyes with the inu demon before her and said, "Because, as my brother said, I am a very talented miko and can read auras to the point that I can tell what they are feeling and if it is related to anything that they were told or were saying. So in a way I can SEE you lying to me."
'Shit, I have to be careful with this wench.' Inuyasha thought as he said, "Fine, I won't lie."
"Alright then…shall we start?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, and that counts as question one." Inuyasha answered with a grin on his face.
"Fair enough." Kagome replied. 'Not like I need that many questions to get enough information so that I can look you up on line and find out who you really are…not that I don't trust Miroku, I now that he really is his best friend but something just doesn't feel right.'
"Are you going to start?" Inuyasha asked once h found that she was taking too long. He didn't want her to think of very personal questions so if he could answer her quickly and make her ask another question quickly he would be fine.
"Just thinking of which questions to ask." Kagome answered with a grin on her face. "So second question, what is your full name?"
"My name is Inuyasha Taisho."
"Um…nice name…don't think I have heard of it." Kagome replied.
"Nice, and doesn't mean anything…so next." Inuyasha stated.
"Alright, how big is your family?" Kagome asked.
"I have an older half brother, a sister-in-law, my mother and father." Inuyasha answered. "I have no kids or girlfriends before you even ask."
"I guess that saved me a question or two." Kagome joked.
"Do I really look like the type to have kid?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well first of all you are my brothers friend, secondly you look older then Miroku." Kagome answered.
"Feh, I should take that as an insult, I should also tell Miroku what you side." Inuyasha stated.
"Tell him, he will only shrug it off. Now, one to the next question." Kagome replied as if his threat did nothing to her.
"You don't go around the bush do you?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, alright, um…do you have a girlfriend?" Kagome asked.
"No, not at the moment…interested?" Inuyasha asked in a husky voice as he leaned into her.
Kagome stood up and took her cup to the trash while placing chop sticking in the sink before saying, "No, just curios."
"Yeah and I'm a full blood demon." Inuyasha growled.
"Um…" was all Kagome said as she picked up his cup.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"Like I said, I'm good with auras, I can tell that your seal was broken and you have lost yourself to the pure demon blood that runs through your vines." Kagome answered with a grin on her face. "But by the looks of it you don't have your sealing weapon on you."
"Just ask your fifth question." Inuyasha growled out in anger. 'Shit…I really have to watch it with this one.'
"Alright, fifth question…how old are you?" Kagome asked.
"I'm twenty-two. Going to be twenty-three soon." Inuyasha answered.
"Where do you go to school?" Kagome asked.
"I work, I don't go to school since I already have a degree in business." Inuyasha answered. "What's with these questions? You could have asked Miroku."
"I could have, but I guess I figured it be best to ask the personal questions to the person I'm trying to get to know." Kagome replied.
"Feh, I suppose that's true." Inuyasha stated.
"Now then, question seven will be…what kind of car do you drive?" Kagome asked as she began to gather the information she would need to make sure she would be able to find out more about him.
"I usually drive a black motor cycle." Inuyasha answered with a grin on his face. 'There now she has waste a question by asking me what kind of bike.'
"Nice…what kind of bike is it?" Kagome asked with a calm voice.
"What not angry that you had to waste a question?" Inuyasha replied.
"No, I could tell that you weren't going to answer or give me that much, so that is why I came up with my next question already." Kagome answered. "So answer my question."
"Feh, I have a classic Harley imported from the states." Inuyasha growled out in anger.
With a grin on her face, Kagome took in a deep breath and asked, "What is the license plate number on it?"
"Well if I didn't know any better you're trying to dig up some info on me." Inuyasha stated as he stood up and walked over to the table where she sat.
"And if I was? What then?" Kagome asked with a challenging tone. "You can't go back on your word; I can tell you're the type that keeps his word."
As he sat on her on the table so that she was in between his legs, Inuyasha leaned into her and said, "I'll right down for you, and I would do nothing, so there are the answers to the last two questions…this game is over."
"Oh, well I suggest you right down the license before you say that the game is over, otherwise it won't be over until I got the numbers and letters…baby." Kagome whispered into his ear as she slightly teased him by pressing her body against his.
"Um…why don't I just give that to you later?" Inuyasha growled.
Before Kagome could even tell him to pull away that she had only been teasing him, Inuyasha slammed his lips against her. She could feel the need the want coming off of him and it was hitting her hard. She had no idea why but she felt a strong need to for him, she felt like having all of him. These feeling were only going to bring back bad memories for her and she needed to end things quickly and without hurting him. 'But I can't…I don't want to let go.' Kagome thought as she not only wrapped her arms around his neck but her legs around his waist.
After pulling away so that he could kiss her neck, Inuyasha let out a low growl and said, "How about we take this to the couch."
"Uh…sure…lets watch a movie." Kagome whispered as he moved her head to the side so that he could have better access to her neck.
As soon as he had sat on the couch, Kagome sat in his lap as she slammed her lips against his. She couldn't help but kiss him, to have him hold her as if he was the only thing that mattered at the moment. Just as Inuyasha had started to remove her shirt, Kagome pulled away and got off of him with a flushed look on her face. After taking deep breaths and calming her racing heart, Kagome locked eyes with Inuyasha as he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, um…I don't think I should be doing this with you…I'll be back, I'm just going to go and put my phone to charge." Kagome replied.
"Feh, you have a house phone, just come and sit with me." Inuyasha requested as he offered her his hand. He felt something in him awaken. A very strong need for her would not go away and he had no idea what he was going to do if he didn't just fuck her and leave before Miroku got back. he was engaged and figured that all it was hidden lust that she had awakened.
"Um…alright…but no funny stuff, let's just watch a movie." Kagome replied as she took his hand and allowed him to pull her into his lap once more.
"Fair enough, but you have to agree to go on a date with me." Inuyasha mumbled into her ear before lightly nipping her neck.
"I said no funny business." Kagome warned.
"I'll behave if you answer my question." Inuyasha growled as he moved his hands under her shirt.
"Fine, but I work tomorrow so you have to wait till I get out of work." Kagome replied.
"What time do you go in?" Inuyasha asked as he allowed her to reach for the remote so that she could find something to watch.
"Late and I close, I get out at midnight so it would have to be another night. Sorry about that." Kagome replied as she got out of his lap to start shielding her heart once more. 'I can't have these feelings again. I don't want to end up with a broken heart like I did the last time.'
Realizing that he would be unable to convince to do anything else from here on out, Inuyasha took in a deep breath as he tried to ignore the longing for the girl he had just met. He knew he had no right to offer to mate with her, to make her want him when he was not for the taking. After taking in a deep breath, he closed his eyes, counted to ten and opened them to being watching the movie that Kagome had chosen. Just as all the previews had ended, Kagome returned with a bowl of popcorn and s blanket for herself. Just as she had take a seat, she turned to Inuyasha and asked, "Do you want some?"
But before he could make a smartass remark, Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "And I don't mean if you want to do it, I meant if you wanted some popcorn you pervert."
"Feh, sure." Inuyasha answered as he reached for the bowl to grab a hand full of popcorn. "What are we watching anyway?"
"My favorite movie of all time." Kagome answered.
"And what movie would that be?" Inuyasha asked once he realized that she would not be giving him the name of the movie unless he asked.
With a grin on her face and her eyes still on the TV screen, Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "We are going to watch Pride and Prejudice."
"A chick flick?" Inuyasha asked in an annoyed voice.
"One you never said what you wanted to watch nor did you recommend something. Since you said nothing I chose. If you don't like it then you can go to sleep and let me enjoy my movie." Kagome replied as the movie began.
"Fine then, but you have to let me use your lap so that I can take my nap." Inuyasha growled as he pushed her to the edge of the couch so that he could lay down.
"Why should I?" Kagome asked as she looked down to lock eyes with the hanyou that was about to place his head on her lap.
"Because then I won't let you watch the movie in peace, I will only try to convince you to make a movie of our own." Inuyasha growled out in a low husky voice.
"Uh…hurry up before I knock you out." Kagome hissed as she moved the popcorn bowl to the side so that he could lay his head on her lap.
"Feh, that's what I thought." Inuyasha mumbled as he closed his eyes and began to tone out the sound of the TV so that he could slowly drift off to sleep.
