Inuyasha

Chapter 7

Getting her drunk is something that he had counted on and for, though what he had not expected was how depressed she got under the influence of alcohol, along with how random she got as well, but in the end it worked out well enough for him so far. Now though, he wanted more and to remain by her side officially, to make it known to just about everyone else, and to not let those other male around of her get in his way.

Though nothing had happened between them last night, but he is satisfied being able to sleep beside of her, to remain by her side. All cuddled up in bed, warm and cozy, as he hugged her a little closer towards him, as they cuddled a little more. He wished that time could just pause at this moment, but he knows that he would have to face with the reality that they are in could be only temporal unless he does something about it to make it permanent.

Everything went back to as how it was when they both went to work, nothing happened again between them, but he did took note of how Kagome's mood would keep fluctuating from day to day, but would speak nothing of it as she kept a tight lid about it.

Had it not been for when he had visited the hospital when he knows that Kagome would be out on seminar, he might not have found out, but now that he knows, it makes things all the lot more easier. And that would explain why he is now waiting for Kagome outside of the lecture hall in which the seminar is held in, waiting for her patiently as he fiddled about his phone, replying inconsequential messages from former lovers or bed partners.

"We should, perhaps one of these days, I'm a littler tired today, so sorry about that," Kagome apologize to her group of friends as they walked out of the lecture hall, already tired from the day's work and this seminar.

"How about the next seminar?" one of them asked, as they continued to chatter and make plans.

Jakotsu upon hearing her voice, quietly stood to follow after or standing not too far away from them, not wanting to make his presence known as he waited patiently for the conversation between her friends and her to be over.

"Oh? Kagome isn't that your friend?" Kagome looked towards whom her friend is pointing towards and frowned.

"Jakotsu," she voiced out, delight shinning in the depth of her eyes, but even she did not notice of her own emotion much, thinking that perhaps his reason for finding her was that she had forgotten something or something else had happened.

Turning to her friends with a simple excuse she went towards Jakotsu as she asked him for the reason of his appearance. Words were exchanged, though she had not approve of him taking a leave, but she could understand that he was more tired recently and could use a break.

"Do you need a checkup?" Kagome asked as she reached out to touch his forehead, checking his temperature with her hand to determine that he was all right, literally giving him a full body physical check on the spot.

"You know, if you keep doing this, everyone is going to get a free show," Jakotsu said in a teasing voice as he sweat a drop a little at the way she is being so serious a bout checking up on him, and yet it warmed him up knowing that she truly care that much.

At first, Kagome did not understand what he was saying, but after a while when she understood, she quickly stopped what she was doing, looking embarrassed as two red flushes appear on her face, letting everyone know of her obvious feelings at the moment.

"Erm, well, let's go, I'll just let my friends know first," Kagome said as she walked towards her friends who were looking at her, talking to one another as they threw glances towards her, before talking in a low voice amongst themselves as she looked at them oddly before turning an irritated look towards Jakotsu who followed after her, standing beside of her.

"What?" he asked with an innocent smile, as though not knowing he had done wrong.

Though after, even when Kagome did not speak to him, Jakotsu joked and teased her until she smiled and laugh, and was back talking to him. Every time that they were together, he was always behaving almost childishly, but always making her smile. Until they accidently bumped into someone as they were joking about playfully.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha called out to her, as though unsure if it was her or not, his eyes roaming towards Jakotsu who stood next to her, behaving a little too intimately as he frowned at them.

"Inuyasha," she whispered out his name, eyes widening at the sight of him as she unconsciously moved closer towards Jakotsu much to his pleasure.

At first, he had been frowning, seeing Kagome's reaction, but when she bumped into his ever so slightly after knowing who it was that she had bumped into and was about to apologize, did she see who it clearly was.

Jakotsu did not say a thing except to stay even closer by Kagome's side as he studied the both of them, worry and unspoken fear in his eyes mainly for Kagome and how she would react. Worried that she would think back about him, especially after all the hard work that he had put in to being that intimate to Kagome and slowly slipping his way into her heart.

The more he watched them talk the more he felt unsettled, especially with the way that Inuyasha looks at her.

"Kagome we should go," Jakotsu cut in as he guided Kagome away without so much as giving a mind or look towards Inuyasha, his eyes only on Kagome as he placed an easy-going kind smile upon his face whilst leading her away.

Kagome did not disagree or push Jakotsu away, but when she left with him, neither did she turn her head to say goodbye to Inuyasha, but just threw him a very quiet of a whisper of 'goodbye' and followed Jakotsu.

"Are you alright?" Jakotsu asked her once they got onboard of the train and on their way back, his arms still around of her shoulder as she laid her head upon his shoulder, closing her eyes in rest, not wanting to look at anything or anyone at the moment as she gathered her thoughts about her.

"We're reaching our stop," Jakotsu lightly nudge her as he waited for her to open her eyes, nudging her every once he sees her about to snooze off.

"Mnnh,"

"Come on, the train is stopping," Jakotsu told her, standing as he pulled her up to her feet, leading a sleepy her out of the train.

If she was able to fall asleep easily, could he perhaps think that she is trying to drop every thought of him instead of holding onto a past that once was?

"Should I carry you?" Jakotsu asked joking as they walked out of the station, going in the direction of their apartment.

Kagome shook her head as she walked by his side, taking a step closer to him as she used him for support once in a while as they walked down the path to their house. When he reached out as per usual to hug her around her shoulder, rubbing the side of her arms, he kept her warm with his body heat.

"You want something to warm you up? Some guilty pleasures? Or maybe a little light drink?" Jakotsu suggested seeing how quiet she is, and still continue to remain so all the way up to their apartment as Jakotsu tried to make some small talk.

When she suddenly turn to him just as he was opening the door, Kagome literally pinned him to the wall, pressing her lips roughly against his as she continued with the kiss until he responded, and pulled away from her.

"Kagome?" he called out unsure of himself and her as he

"I just really want you right now," she whispered against his lips, her whole body shaking a little as she pressed herself closer up to him, afraid and somewhat insecure.

"Are you sure," he questioned, feeling at the moment mixed as to how he should feel, especially since she had been so quiet since they had left Inuyasha standing there.

"Stop asking so much question," she complained, sealing his lips with her own, hungrily devouring him much to his happily pounding heart.

Lifting her legs to wrap it around of his waist, Jakotsu clumsily carried her to his room and did what the situation best called for at the moment. They were tangled with one another, until Kagome's body tired out as she lay lifelessly rested upon his body as he played with her hair, lazily running his fingers through her hair.

"Will you mind much to get back into a relationship?"

Kagome did not say a single thing as she lay upon him, a hum in her throat, as she remained unmoving on him. Not even bothering to answer him or to bother with that question or his nudging for an answer.

"Kagome?" he tried calling out to her again, wanting to know as his heart was at the edge, so was that fluttery feeling in his gut.

Seeing that she had no respond, his hand roamed to her waist, tightening as he drew her closer to him, his face buried into her neck as he nibbled lightly on it.

"I'm tired Jak," Kagome mumbled, wanting to wave her hand to swat him away, but instead ended up hitting on the mattress.

"I'm just curious," Jakotsu says into her neck as he nibbled a little harder on the sensitive side of her neck.

"Mmnnh…"

"Then are you planning on returning to Inuyasha's side if he were to ask you back?"

Kagome heard it and it made her heart stopped, her mind froze, as she remained unsure of what to say. Opening her eyes slowly, she looked forward before slowly closing her eyes again as she did not know of whether or not she should, but before she could even come to a conclusion of her own, Jakotsu who had been keeping his eyes on her every expression felt somewhat sunken that she did not chose the answer that he had wanted to hear. Gritting his teeth, Jakotsu turned their spooning position about as he had her pressed beneath of him, his body looming over her as he looked at her seriously while a surprised Kagome looked up at him some sleep still in her eyes, but majority of it were shocked awake by his action.

"I don't want to hand you over to him, or anyone else for that matter," he announced his authority over her.

"It would be best if you come to realize sooner that I will have no one else but you," he told her with a growl in his tone that came out sounding husky and sexy at the same time.

She silently looked at him, unsure of what to say but yet could not help but to be drawn to it as well. Not sure when but she realized not only had she come to realize him as a friend with benefits or her best friend.

"Don't think too much, follow your body and instinct more," she was told and then came his kiss that was more consuming than she had ever felt.

"I-" she wanted to say something, but in the end returned his kiss with equal if not more fervor as they continued with whatever remaining time there is, or when she passed out from exhaustion.

Though Jakotsu was sure that he could take comfort in one thing, and that is that she did not reject him or push him away like what he had expected, giving him a lot more hope that he initially had.
