Chapter Eight: A Moment Of Cuteness

It's the next day and it's light out, indicating that it's obviously daytime. Kaori was standing underneath a tree with Kagome and Kagome's bike. Inuyasha was laying on a branch in the tree. Kaori looked at Kagome and stared at her bike.

"Why did you bring your bike?" she asked.

"How else will I be able to keep up with you and Inuyasha? Inuyasha has his speed and you have your speed...and...your flames. Does Kaede have any idea why you can suddenly control fire?" Kagome looked at Kaori questionably.

"She is not quite sure yet," Kaori answered honestly.

"I see." Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. "Hey! I need to tend to your wounds that Yura inflicted on you!"

"Tend my wounds?" Inuyasha questioned. "You think I need you?"

"Oh boy..." Kaori stepped aside as the two began their usual arguments.

"Drop the attitude, Inuyasha! You got hurt in that fight last night!" Kagome exclaimed.

Kaori sighed. Inuyasha looked towards her questionably, but she didn't notice. She was staring at the ground, thinking.

"Why can't those two get along for once?" she thought as she continued to stare at the ground.

"Get down here!" Kagome yelled.

"Not happening!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"Sit boy!" Kagome exclaimed, causing Inuyasha to face plant out of the tree and into the ground. "Now, let me check your wounds. When you get hurt that badly, you need to get medical treatment."

"You're acting like I lost that battle!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

Kaori heard some chattering and turned to see Kaede walking nearby with a couple of children from the village. "Those kids look so cute!"

"Will you be finding all the shards of the Jewel soon?" one of the kids asked Kaede.

"It's up to Kagome, Kaori, and Inuyasha. Only, Kagome and Inuyasha need to learn to like each other," Kaede said.

"They do like each other!" another kid exclaimed, pointing towards Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Hm?" Kaori looked as well and her jaw dropped. "If I hadn't been here the whole time, I'd take this as something that is very sexual..."

Kagome was on top of Inuyasha, trying to move his clothes out of the way to try and look at his wound. "Just take off your clothes!"

"What if I don't feel like it?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Undress!" Kagome yelled back.

"Shield ye eyes!" Kaede commanded the children who were watching.

"Kagome! Inuyasha! We have company!" Kaori informed the two.

"Eh?" the two of them turned to see Kaede and the children.

"I see ye two got over ye differences. Ye two like each other more than I thought," Kaede said.

"Eh?" the two looked at each other. Inuyasha pushed Kagome off of him.

"I thought you would've figured out that my body is different." Inuyasha moved his clothing to revealed his chest and where the wound had been; had been as in it was no longer there.

"It's gone?" Kagome stared.

Kaori stared as well and was blushing. She turned her head. "You can stop showing off your chest now."

"Huh?" Inuyasha blinked.

Kaede looked at Kaori. "Ye okay, Kaori?"

"I'm fine," she replied.

"Ow!" Inuyasha suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh?" Kaori and Kagome wondered.

Biting Inuyasha was a flea named Myoga. Inuyasha hit him and he fell to the ground. Inuyasha kneeled down and looked at him. "Well, well. If it isn't Myoga the flea."

"A flea?" Kaori questioned.

"Lord Inuyasha, I came to tell you," Myoga started. Kagome sprayed him and he fell over.

"What's that do?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Uh... Oops?" Kagome sweat-dropped. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that?"

"Idiot," Kaori commented.


Inside of Kaede's home, Myoga has spoken to Inuyasha, Kagome, Kaori, and Kaede about his news.

"Someone's trying to rob my father's grave?!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

Myoga tried to explain. "As guardian of the tomb, I couldn't just sit back and let them find it, so..."

"So you abandoned it and came running here," Inuyasha said.

"They say your father was a demon-dog who claimed the western lands as his domain," Kaede said.

"I don't remember a thing about him," Inuyasha said.

"He was the most glorious and powerful of demons...and he had the most delicious blood! You inherited such blood from him," Myoga said.

"Then...then...what about his mother?" Kagome asked.

"She was the most fairest of all the..." Inuyasha squashed Myoga, not allowing him to continue.

"Shut up! She died a long time ago!" Inuyasha exclaimed. He exited the building.

"That was rude!" Kagome exclaimed. "What's his problem?"

"His mom must've been human if he is half demon and his dad was a full demon" Kaori stood up. "I'm gonna go talk to Inuyasha."

"Uh, okay." Kagome watched as Kaori exited the building as well.

Kaori found Inuyasha sitting in a tree. "Inuyasha!"

"Go away!" he exclaimed.

"Your mother was human, wasn't she?" Kaori asked him.

"I said go away!" he exclaimed again.

"Was she pretty?" she asked.

"Huh?" He jumped out of the tree and landed in front of her. "What?" He stared at her.

She stared back. "Was she pretty?" she asked again.

"Why do you care?!" he yelled in her face.

She was unfazed by it and spoke calmly, staring at him with a sad look upon her face. "I'm adopted, remember? My parents gave me up when I was born, which means I never met them.

"I..." He had forgotten about this fact.

Kaori leaned against the tree. "You don't have to say anything."

"...Yeah," he said.

"Hm?" she wondered.

Inuyasha was still staring at her. "Yeah, she was pretty."

"Oh." Kaori grinned a little. "She must've been the best mother ever, huh?"

"...Yeah..." he hesitated. He didn't really want to speak of her. "She was..." Kaori hugged him tightly. "Huh?!" Inuyasha blushed a lot. "What are you...?!"

"We're friends, aren't we?" she asked him.

"I don't know," he answered honestly. "...I haven't had friends before." He thought about it. "Well, I guess I sorta had one...at one point: Kikyo..."

"Me too..." Kaori answered, frowning a little. "Kagome and I could be your friends. You just...gotta allow us to be."

Inuyasha stared at her more. He grinned a little bit. "Okay..."

"YAY!" She kissed his cheek. He blushed a ton again.

"Kaori sure is something..." Inuyasha sat in front of the tree and Kaori sat beside him. It was getting dark. "This...is kinda nice..." Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by soft singing. He looked over at Kaori.

"There must still be the soul that you have left behind, hidden somewhere. In the deep, deep of the forest, lying among the trees. People who are too tired, they just don't look around any further; they disappear into the eternal darkness of a foreign place. Could we still have seen it if we were there? Could we've seen it if we were little? Go on with our lives and lose those things behind. Wrapped around in lies, we stand there voiceless. We wanna live our lives until we find a way. Searching for the light for eternity," Kaori sang softly.

"Your singing is really pretty..." Inuyasha complimented, blushing and not looking at her.

Kaori smiled. "Thank you, Inuyasha. You are really sweet." She held his hand. He blushed even more...


Song Kaori sang at the end: Deep Forest; it's the english version of Fukia Mori by Do As Infinity (a Inuyasha ending song). The lyrics I found weren't 100% correct so it might be worded wrong.

So, I hope that was a really cute Kaori x Inuyasha moment. Please leave a review. I'd like to know what you think. The moment was a lot cuter than this, but my laptop fucked up with me and made it as if I never even wrote the chapter so I had to type it all over again. It's still cute, I guess. I just wish my laptop didn't mess up and screw up what would've been posted.
