Inuyasha crossover The Avengers
Chapter 9: Request of A Goddess
It was awkward, and somehow it puzzled her as to why Loki had been taking care of her that night, and if she had heard correctly from Thor, it was Loki who had brought her back to her room and drank on behalf of her. It cause her to skip a heart beat at the thought of that, does he still care for her?
In an attempt to forget it as to how Loki had formally proposed, Kagome had spent time faithfully carrying out her responsibilities, even as to help out the various other Gods and Goddesses should there be trouble that needed aid. Today however, things are rather dull and monotonous, as Kagome had offered to help Steve with the preparation of dinner.
For a person who had been living life of long ago, Steve had adapted as well as he could to the modern day and its technologies. There were times when he of course still needed Kagome's help, and sometimes causing her to laugh at his antics when he encountered something that he was not familiar with in using.
It was relaxing for her to spend time like this, and Steve could tell why as he too found it easier to forget and relax when cooking. There were times when Tony would sit by the island bar counter that he had designed for the kitchen as he watched the two, sometimes he would even come up to Kagome as he slide and arm around her waist, placing a chaste kiss upon her cheek. Times like these were precious if not something that she would not get the second time, but then again it does annoy her from time to time as well.
The two male had made her remember how fun it was to be amongst friends, but it did remind her of her loneliness as well. Many a times, Kagome had pushed those thoughts and memories away as she concentrated on the task at hand, talking to the two males in the kitchen even as she slowly came to forget for the time being. It was fun to be amongst the Avengers, however annoying or irritating it could be, especially with a certain billionaire's antics.
"Thanks for the delicious meal sweetheart," Tony mentioned as he got up from his seat to plant a kiss upon her lips. It surprised her, as Kagome blushed for a moment before she gave Tony a half-hearted glare.
He did not mean harm, and his actions really mean nothing at all, and could be as empty as air. Being amongst the men it did made her wonder about ridding herself of her loneliness, after all, it was already over between Loki and her. She sighed as Kagome leaned against the rails of the balcony, her eyes closed as she enjoyed the scent of the ocean, the cool night breeze gently caressing her hair and skin.
"Hello again my dear Minx," Tony voice rambled almost nonchalantly as he strolled to her side with a glass of scotch in his hand. Kagome merely glanced at him for a few seconds as she returned the watching the dark skies and the calm ocean.
"Come now sweetheart, don't be so cold towards me," Tony said to her as he turned to lean against the railings on his side, taking a sip from his glass of scotch as he watched the serene face of the Goddess before him. Kagome shook her head for a moment, choosing to remain silent, even when he slung an arm around her waist to lean in closer to her.
Even when so, Kagome remain unmoving, deep in her own thoughts as she looked out to the ocean. Tony for once remained quiet as he stood beside of her, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes once in a while to check on her as he waited for a sort of response from her.
"Let's go out for the night," she said after a long while of silence, to which it did catch Tony by surprise as he lowered his glass of scotch from his lips.
Tony had given her a look of surprise, but either way he had shrugged it off for the time being as he drove them both down to the club that he frequents, after all, how could he refuse the request of a lady, or a Goddess in this case.
