Didn't see That Coming

Chapter 13: First Day part 4- Guilt
Inuyasha's Point of View:
I sighed and sat back down at my desk. I was bored. Kagome was doing work and everyone was just about to finish their shift for the day.
The guards were about to switch posts and Kagome and Sango were about to start filing.
"I got nowhere near her liking me," I said to myself.
It was true. The closest I got to Kagome was her on my lap eating a spoonful of my lunch. She wasn't taking any of my passes seriously.
I'm way too deep in the friend zone, aren't I?
I rolled my eyes at the thought of actually being with Kagome. Maybe she just didn't want to be with me. That would make sense. I am a half demon, after all.
Then again, Kagome made it clear to me the day we met that she was not prejudiced against half demons. It was clear to me that she was attracted to me in some way more than a friend... she just didn't flaunt the fact.
Suddenly, a scent hit my nose.
"Not today..." I grumbled as the scent got closer.
I stood up and walked out of my office just waiting for that dammed wolf to come. Call it selfish, but I wanted to use him as an excuse to take out my bad mood.
Not long after, a blur whizzed right past me and to Kagome's office.
...
There's no way the wolf passed up a chance to fight me.
What kind of alternate universe is this?
I narrowed my eyes and walked into Kagome's office only to find her in the hands of Koga Ookami. My worst enemy.
"What. Are. You. Doing?" I hissed.
Kagome looked at me with a light blush, "H-hi Inuyasha."
Koga didn't even pay attention to me as he continued with his little speech, "So you got a job for this guy? I gotta say, Kagome, you must've put up a good fight to get it. Just the kind of fire I need in my woman."
Did he just call her his woman?
"K-koga... let go of me." she mumbled quietly and tried pulling her hand back.
"Let go of her." I barked. [A/N: NO PUN INTENDED.]
"What's it to you, mutt?" Koga said, finally acknowledging me.
Kagome took this moment to pull her hands away.
"Ah, Inuyasha, this is Koga." Kagome said softly.
"I know who he is." I said without turning to her.
"You do?"
"Yeah, he's my enemy... how do you know him?" I questioned.
She shrugged, "Met him in high school."
"Yeah, when you went out with that Hobo guy." Koga growled. "You know I bumped into him yesterday? I heard you two broke up."
Kagome's scent changed instantly and I pulled her towards me, "Why would you bring that up, idiot?"
She stayed quiet and close to me sniffling from time to time. This woman was really fragile, wasn't she? Under that feisty demeanor, she was still a girl who just went through a break up.
An emotional wreck.
Koga's face seemed to have softened, "I'm sorry, Kagome."
"She doesn't want your apologies!"
"Once again, what's it to you, mutt?" he retorted.
"It doesn't matter!" I growled.
Koga rolled his eyes and Kagome turned to him, "It's okay, Koga." she smiled.
Whoa, was she smiling at him? This wench was flirting!
Koga smirked, "I'll see you later?"
"Umm..."
"That's a yes!" he grinned and sped off.
"SLOW DOWN IN MY BUILDING!" I yelled.
His only response was a laugh leaving me seeing red for a bit.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said softly.
I turned to her with a scowl, "What?"
"What's wrong?"
Her doe eyes seemed to be peering into mine in utter concern and my red vision lightened until it became normal again.
"N-nothing." I muttered.
"It's not nothing." she frowned.
"Yes it is." I insisted.
"Inuyasha." she placed her hands on her hips and glared at me. "Tell me now. " she ordered.
Ooh, she ordered me.
Sexy.
"Look, he's just my enemy, okay?"
"Enemy?" she raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"Yeah." I blushed. "A long time ago I lost a bet against him... but he cheated!"
"Elaborate."
"Well, when we were training, he was nowhere near as fast as me! But then, the day of the race came and all of a sudden he blew off like a tornado! The wolf cheated."
"Inuyasha, you have no proof..."
"Yes I do! I won the second time and now we're always at each others' necks picking a fight... because he cheated."
"Inuyasha, if you have no proof so, why not let it go?"
She was on his side. That much was clear to me. All the fiery determination and her will to back him up? She obviously liked him! Better than me!
"Am I not good enough?" I blurted out.
Her eyes widened, "I-Inuyasha, what are you talking about?"
Finally realizing what I said, a deep blush made it's way all over my face, "Uh..."
Kagome's Point of View
"Are you... jealous of Koga?" I asked softly.
My heart thumped against my chest. Was he jealous of Koga... because Koga tried to make a pass at me?
"N-no!" he denied a little too quickly.
"Are you jealous because he tried to make a pass at me?" I really wanted to hear the answer to this.
"Keh, no..."
I guess his pride got in the way of him.
"THEN WHY WERE YOU TRYING TO MAKE A PASS AT ME ALL DAY?" I yelled, pissed off at his answer. "Why is it okay for you to do it but not other men?"
"Because it is." he replied stubbornly.
"No it's not!" my anger just kept rising.
"Yes it is."
"Why?"
"Because I say so." his mouth was a thin, hard line.
I've always hated that answer when someone didn't have a valid reason for something. 'Because I say so'. I mean, really? How mature was that? Either they get a valid reason or give up!
"That's not an answer!" I yelled and grabbed the messy bunch of files from earlier and headed to Sango's office.
"He's so... ugh!" I felt like screaming again.
"Expand your vocabulary." Sango teased lightly, looking through the papers for the next number.
"I'm serious! At first he's all flirty and 'Any guy would be lucky to have you' but then... then Koga comes along and he's all overprotective and denying that he likes me!"
"Isn't that something along the lines of what you wanted?"
"What?" I asked softly, now.
"You keep denying that you like him so is it so bad for him to return the favor?"
"I don't know." I mumbled. "But I..."
"You like him, don't you." It didn't come out as a question and as I looked up at Sango I realized she was being deathly serious.
I nodded slightly and picked up a stray piece of scrap paper from her desk along with a pen and wrote But I don't know if I'm sure about my feelings yet...
Sango raised an eyebrow in amusement.
I rolled my eyes and wrote, He might be listening... baka.
She giggled lightly and took the pen.
Why is your penmanship so good?
Really? Is that /all/ you have to say right now?
Yeah, yeah. So why aren't you sure?
Pretty much because of you and mom. You guys keep saying I like him and now I can't tell if I really do like Inuyasha or if it's just the aftermath of my rebelling.
Aftermath of... you crack me up. I'm so sorry, Kagome. I didn't mean to cause you doubts.
It's not your fault... what should I do, though?
He obviously likes you...
Really? -sarcasm-
I saw her roll her eyes and smile before replying.
Yes, lady. Wanna know how you can tell if you like him back?
Kiss him and realize I feel complete? -insert eye roll here-
Bingo!
Y-you're not serious, are you?
I'll finish up your work. Go get 'em tiger.
Sango. Shut the fuck up... quoting Mary Jane like that? Really? e_e
I can't believe you watched the show.
Me either... but you're no better.
"True," she giggled and pushed me out of the room "And by the way, I was serious."
I couldn't protest... I wanted to do this, too...
Walking into his room for the millionth time that day, I gasped. Inuyasha looked... different.
His eyes were blood red and his irises were a striking ice blue. On either sides of his face, was a jagged lavender stripe. His lengthened claws were digging into his arms and it looked as if he was trying to calm himself down.
"Go away." he rasped.
"W-what? Inuyasha, what's wrong?"
"I said go away."
"I'm not going away! Tell me what's wrong!"
"Leave!"
"Make me!"
Inuyasha's Point of View:
Ooh, she challenged us, my demon purred. Lets jump her.
I suddenly found myself pushing her back against the wall. I really had no control here; it was all my demon. Technically my demon was me... and it held my inner desires... but still.
I ran a clawed hand down Kagome's thighs and pressed her against the wall behind her.
"Inuyasha," she mumbled, trying to turn away.
"Look at me, wench." I growled and turned her face towards me a little forcefully. "What happened to the fire you sparked moments ago?"
"W-what?"
"Fight me back." I answered and buried my nose in the crook of her neck, much like I did this morning, and inhaled deeply, "Mm."
"Inuyasha..."
Slowly, I licked down to the opening of her shirt and stopped, "Time to have some fun." I purred against her, biting the scissor pendant playfully.
"S-stop..." she moaned as I let the pendant drop and I ripped the first button of her shirt off with my teeth. "It's my favorite shirt!" she protested and tried pushing me away.
I smirked against her and spared her shirt, unbuttoning it with my hands and I realized her scent instantly changed.
"Inuyasha..." she breathed. "B-before we do... this... can you do me one thing?"
I looked at her, "Yes?"
"Kiss me."
That tone of voice... it was innocent. I could easily smell the sudden spike of her arousal and her heartbeat quickened. The one thing that drove me over the edge was the look of lust in her eyes that matched mine.
I slammed my lips on to hers, biting down on her bottom lip, demanding entrance.
To my satisfaction, she quickly obliged and I delved my tongue into her mouth, gripping her shoulders and she moaned into the kiss deeply, rubbing against my obvious hard-on.
"Kagome..." I whispered against her lips, chuckling slightly.
She panted lightly and leaned in once again for another round.
Amused, and highly turned on, I responded and wrapped my hands around her waist as she wrapped hers around my neck. Her fingers were tracing somewhere near my pressure point but I didn't mind.
A sharp pain suddenly hit me and I blacked out.
What the fuck just happened?
One minute I was pissed.
The next, I saw red.
The next I was about to fuck Kagome.
And finally, I blacked out.
I moaned slightly and turned my head. I was on something warm and comfortable and someone was stroking my hair.
It felt good.
My eyes opened slowly and I groaned face-to-face with Kagome's lap.
...
"Inuyasha?" her voice was soft.
"Ka...gome?"
We were still on the floor and she was sitting with her back against the wall.
That wall...
...It will never be demolished. Ever. That is my new favorite wall.
"I'm glad to see you're up." she smiled. "Is your hand okay?"
"My hand?" Oh yeah, I was digging my claws into them. "Oh... it's fine."
"If you want... I could heal it for you."
"Heal?"
"...Did I forget to mention that I'm a priestess?"
"...Yep..."
Oh, having her moaning under me now looked so much better than it did before...
She smiled innocently, "Let's fix you up."
"What happened?" I blinked as her hand glowed a slight pink color and my wound started to heal faster than it normally would.
"You... I walked into your office and... you looked like you were a full demon." she sighed. "And then I challenged your word against me and we... um, we kissed." she said, tugging at her shirt which, by the way, was still opened.
I stroked the side of her face slightly, enjoying her blush. "You sure we didn't do more?"
"N-nope." she looked down, covering her face with her hands.
"Don't be like that." I smiled and gently lifted her head up to look at me. "If it makes you feel any better... I enjoyed it..."
Her eyes widened and her blush deepened, "I... I uh..." she stood up quickly, buttoning her shirt. "I have to go now, sir. B-bye!"
With that, she ran out the door, closing it gently.
I don't know why, but my heart cracked at that moment. Kagome held my heart now, and she was unknowingly breaking it.
I heard a thump against my door and I knew it was Kagome. The feeling that poured off of her made me want to go out and hold her.
It was guilt.
Purdy please leave a review? ^.~
