26. Im giving my love to you…
TWO WEEKS LATER…
Sunlight filtered through the shades that were half drawn on the window to fall directly on her eyes. Groaning Kagome threw a hand over her eyes and then attempted to turn on her side which seemed to be a difficult task seeing as how the slightest of moment seems to bring an unbearable amount of pain to her head.
She heard loud snoring to her right which at that moment with her headache and all sounded like a motor running,'and if it doesn't stop right now, there won't be a spare left for it to run again' she growled but then regretted,'Ooooo bad idea…' since that small action caused the drum inside her head to vibrate. The hand that she threw over her eyes was now attempting to massage the ache, but it was rather hopeless seeing that it didn't stop the motor. Her anger was steadily increasing which didn't bode well for the pounding in her head.
Cracking an eye open she turned in the direction of that maddening noise to see Inuyasha sprawled out on the couch of her living room, half his body on the floor with his hands spread on either side and the other half was on the sofa, his legs cushioned by various assortment of throw pillow she'd collected everytime she shopped in an Indian bazaar located in Japan (Im not really sure if a place like that exists in Japan but hey don't spoil my imagination). His hair spilling like white curtain on the floor and his dog-ears were twitching occasionally. His big mouth was open with fangs poking out,'ahhh …no wonder it sounded like motor'
She blinked then saw that somehow she has rolled to the middle of the living room to the ice-cold floor,'why didn't I wake up shivering like a cat?' was a mystery to her. Then as everything came into focus,'Damn!!!' she cursed. Rolling over she attempted to assemble herself on a half sitting position leaning on her elbows.
Yesterday was no moon day and as usual Inuyasha parked his gear in Higurashi's shrine. 'Now that I think about it, it was a habit that started quite recently…4-5 months to be exact' and just now she realized that,'maybe he's timing his visit here on "the" particular day' coming up with lame reasons to stay on that exact day,'come to think of it…Ahhh" she groaned.
"No Kagome, no thinking unless you gulp a hugh glass of espresso. Until then shhhh…" she put a finger on her lips and told herself to be silent, which was accompanied by Inuyasha's rather loud snore. Her eyes twitched once, twice then she grabbed his soft ears and yanked rather painfully.
"If you know whats good for you Yasha, you'll shut your motor right now" Kagome whispered quietly but you couldn't miss the deadly warning behind it.
"Yow" Inuyasha was wrenched away from his comfortable sleep, following his dog-ears as it was being pulled;"OW" he landed on the floor rather ungraciously with hands flaying on either side to break the fall which was rather useless and blinked owlishily. His ears twitched to relieve the stress of being yanked about, while he looked around.
"Kagome" he blinked in confusion.
She raised an eye-brow,"Much better decibel if ask me" she nodded in approval still rubbing her temples.
The haze cleared from his eyes and then narrowed, "What are you doing here?" he shouted pointing a finger at her, while rubbing his abused ear.
Kagome closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before pinning him with a death glare,"IF you raise your voice one more time…" she paused for effect,"…YOU will be missing some major body part" she warned in a fridgingly polite tone, that left you shivering.
"AND to remind you since your brain-cells seemed to have taken their weekly leave, you're in MY home" she emphasized and with much struggle stood up on unsteady legs and stopped to make sure the world is still steady and not revolving.
His confusion was cleared when looked around and remembered what day it was yesterday and sighed. He's been coming to the Higurashi's shrine since after his first no-moon day which he'd spend here, since forgot it was "that" day and going home. Well actually he was unwilling to go home that day, eventhough Miroku reminded him once or twice before giving up with a huge knowing grin.
It was because of the warm, comfortable home like feeling he got here. He was welcome here. The people here, they seemed to see through his being to what he is on the inside, instead of his outward appearance and station in society. They only showed the initial surprise that accompanied with his change that night other than that they were in awe, with souta commenting,"That's so cool Inuyasha" and Mrs. Higurashi squealed and inquired worriedly about,"Inuyasha …child is you ears gone, that's a shame" and Kagome's grandpa examining him from different angle before declare that he's human and Kagome herself along with Miroku just gave a lopsided grin enjoying Inuyasha being hounded by her family. And Inuyasha unable to resist gave a grin of his own and turned away before she could note the moisture in his eyes but Miroku did.
"Ya know Inuyasha; I bet you haven't got that kind of reaction before" he elbowed Inuyasha's ribs playfully.
His usual "Feh" wavered with emotion.
Then Miroku whispered as if telling a secret,"I've heard that these Higurashi's are kinda weird bunch"
Only to hear,"We heard that Miroku" He chuckled at their antics.
Then turned his eyes to Inuyasha just knowing what his friend must be feeling at that moment. This must be overwhelming for him and Miroku felt pleased that atleast now he would come to understand that he was always welcome somewhere.
For Inuyasha Mrs. Higurashi's affectionate, lovely smile seemed to draw him with open arms, when all he ever got form humans not to mention demons where the eyes of watching a sordid alien.
His musing was interrupted when Kagome groaned and flopped back on the couch,"Inuyasha remind me to kill you the next time you decided to bring one of your "soft" drinks home."
Inuyasha gave a snort,"Keh, it's not my fault that you have low tolerance for such a mild drink" a pillow came flying in his direction as soon as he finished but he caught it with ease.
Kagome's eyes were blazing with her hair sticking out in all direction,"Don't you dare call that "mild" Yasha. In my case wine is considered "mild" and more than two cup of sake will make me sing and dance. And you…how dare you claim that demon sake is mild and you almost made me an addict yesterday. In all my years of drinking with DhaDhaji, I think I haven't consumed that much booze." She thanked God that her mother wasn't here to hear that she'd been a drinking companion for her DhaDhaji for almost two years considering that she was a minor. She rubbed her head that small outburst resulted in her head pounding.
'Not to mention I don't remember most of what I did last night… hmm I think I started singing after the first bottle with Inuyasha' she thought through the throbbing in her head,'… then I think …I cursed … about who? …mmm don't know…. and was that I who did the belly-dance' she flushed and then shrugged,'Nope not me'
Her DhaDhaji's a funny old chap with big warm hands, who has the same mischievous streak in him as Kagome; Inuyasha met him during one of his visits to the Higurashi shrine,"Your DhaDhaji must be put to jail for feeding liquor to a minor"
Kagome scoffed,"My DhaDhaji's a good man, atleast he didn't feed me barrel barrel of alcohol like you did"
Inuyasha gruffed, "Keh it wasn't a barrel…" he shook his head in pity,"...humans you're all so weak" this time he got kicked in the shin by Kagome, who was convinently sitting on the couch with Inuyasha sitting next to her leg,"OW woman stop it will you" he scooted away from her.
"You're lucky my mother decided to accompany granpa for the summer festival along with Souta or you're ass would be frying in one of her pans right now" she informed,"And what were you yesterday Inuyasha "Super-Man"? …as I recall you had black hair, blunt nails and ears as that of a human" she quoted.
"So think before you taunt about how human I am" she huffed before slowly getting up and going in the direction of the kitchen in hopes of making a strong espresso without further delay.
Inuyasha followed not in the least bit affected by the alcohol he consumed yesterday,"Atleast I didn't do the belly-dance" he smirked while she blushed scarlet and caught the coffee cup just in time before it hit his temple,'Kami her aim is frightening.'
Still blushing she hunted for the item to prepare her ambrosia,"I don't belly-dance Inuyasha"
"Sure you don't. It's a shame that you didn't actually show your belly which is the vital part of the dance, not to mention I was looking forward to it" but his concentration was diverted, his nose twitched as he sniffed the air.
"Im glad to know" she said caustically.
But he was preoccupied with clutching his nose to allow minimal amount of air into his lungs as possible,"What's that wretched smell?" he spoke.
Confused Kagome sniffed too but she didn't find any thing smelly,"What smell?" then a faint smell like a dead fish, she noticed was coming from somewhere.
Inuyasha looked around and went to the place where the smell was the most to find a filthy Buyo in a corner, attaching something equally gross that Inuyasha was sure he must have dragged in from the trash,"Look what the cat dragged in?" he said satisfied that his nose was telling the truth.
Curious she made her way towards where he stood; his nose covered with his sleeves and saw what he discovered. Her stomach churned at the sight,"Eew Buyo, you make me wanna throw up" she grabbed her mouth and ran for the bath-room and did just that.
"Meow" and Buyo went back to digging into his breakfast.
Inuyasha concerned followed her and held her hair back as she worshipped her ass-friend. When she thought that she had no stomach with all the necessary intestines, she got up with Inuyasha's help and then brushed her teeth and tongue furiously. By the time she came out she'd used up half the paste in the tube and the mouthwash.
She looked quite the sight with her rough silky hair pointing in all the four direction and with her shoulders stooping with exhaustion and face pale. The stale smell of booze make his nose wrinkle and that made Inuyasha comment,"I think you smell worse than Buyo"
"Meow" the cat agreed having finished his moring meal and sitting near Inuyasha's leg while rubbing his whiskers with his paws.
Kagome not in the mood to fight just said sacarstically,"Well sorrrry that I offended you sensitive nose your Highness" she bowed empathetically.
"Cut the crap will you" Inuyasha was annoyed and a bit worried,"You look like shit"
"Im glad you noticed" but she didn't stay to hear his reply, as she went to kitchen ….to find the espresso already made and sitting on the table.
She turned to Inuyasha and raised her eye-brows, he blushed,"Keh, drink it you'll fell better" then he turned away.
She gave a small smile and took a sip and immediately spewed the content out before it reached the back of her throat (Inuyasha managed to dance out of the way),"Are you trying to kill me Inuyasha?" she hissed rubbing her lips with the back of her dress-sleeve. She poured the suff in the sink without further examining,"What is in this stuff anyway?" she asked then held up a hand,"No don't bother, I don't want to know and all I wanted was an espresso" she asked the Kami dejectedly.
He huffed,"Ungrateful bitch" and sulked.
She shrugged,"Well you shouldn't have tried to make something to begin with, honestly Inuyasha you couldn't even make a tea to save a soul" she busied herself in making her drink.
"I sure can make a tea to save Sesshoumaru's soul" he replied indignantly, 'along with an enima tablet' he added evily.
She stuck her tongue out at that, now feeling much better after making her own espresso. She handed Inuyasha one and they proceed to the living room to see it in complete disarray from the night before. Her eyes twitched and from the corner of her eyes she could see Inuyasha squirming.
"Umm …holy shit, look at the time" he hurriedly gulped down his coffee,"I have to go before fluffy gets his pant on fire—" but he was interrupted by Kagome.
"Oh no, you don't" she grabbed a firm hold of his shirt sleeve,"You aren't going to move a step from here before helping me clean up this mess"
"B- but fluffy h—" he whimpered when Kagome just narrowed her eyes and sighed in defeat.
Kagome nodded,"Not that we have an understanding why don't we start" she said,"And I think im feeling a bit better" she smiled cheekily making him shudder.
Within an hour the room was cleaned to Kagome's satisfaction and Inuyasha groaned,"I swear Kagome if I thought cleaning involved all the dusting, scrubbing and washing I'd have called a couple of my maids to do the job." He stretched his back as if he'd moved a mountain,"I haven't even so much as washed a spoon in my life for God's sake" he complained,"How can you do this to me?"
Kagome rolled her eyes,"No wonder you made a poison out of an espresso" he growled,"Grow up will ya, how long are you gonna clutch a maid's skirt for a piece of cookie"
"I don't clutch any such thing" he protested. "Im royalty so they are bound to do as they are told for however long I wished" he said smugly.
"You know what I think?" she asked,"I think your an arrogant-pompus-ass, I bet someone has to wash your hair too" she expected a denial but it never came, her eyes widened when he blushed.
Kagome laughed,"What, is she just for washing your hair or …" she let the question hang suggestively.
"Feh its not what you think, she was my nanny when I was little" he said still blushing.
"Whatever but it does change the fact that you need someone to wash your hair" she pointed out walking to the kitchen to wash her hand.
"Look who's talking I've seen your mother give you an oil bath every Friday" he accused.
She blushed,"Are you saying you where peeping?" she asked dangerously.
"As if" he grunted,"If you've forgotten you guys do that in your back-yard, and your mother used to threaten to tie you and Souta to make you sit still. So that she could rub the coconut oil on you guys, not to mention your old-man's lecture on how good that the Indians practice this to reduce body heat, while practically bathing in oil wearing only his groin cloth" he said that fondly.
He remembered how he'd hurried through the back-door when he heard a screaming,"MOM" from Souta followed by Kagome's whine just to find the whole family there. It was quite comical to watch but he was also jealous to see them all either laughing or complaining at the others misery, add to that Kagome and Souta's usual sibling spat and Mrs. Higurashi threatening to ground them if they don't shut up. And grandpa's voice giving a speech on how their behaviour exceeds the trouble a monkey could make.
The only thought that his brain could conjure up at that moment as he stood there staring at them with envious eyes were,'This is how a real family should be' he couldn't remember the last time his family had dinner together. Probably years since Inuyasha moved out of the house. The last time they had dinner together it was either Sesshoumaru or he Inuyasha throwing insults at eachother while being careful of little Rin and Inu Taisho rubbing his fore-head to wade off the head-ache. Finally ending in Sesshoumaru throttling the life out of him, Rin crying her eyes out and Inu Taisho using desperate measure to put an end to it.
He sighed wistfully then grinned,"But I must say it's rather amusing to see you only in your petti-coat with oil-slick body" he purred.
This time he got hit with a folded news-paper from Kagome,"Pervert" she growled.
"Stop hitting me" he shouted,"And your there for all the world to see screaming you lungs off as if your being tortured"
"Well next time remind me to invite you for the oil bath then you can decide for yourself" she then thought why she was asking Inuyasha to remember things for her.
"Will you?" he asked off-handedly but inside he was hoping to be a part of this family,'stupid Inuyasha whats wrong with you?' he chide himself inwardly.
Kagome must've sensed something off because she looked at him oddly for a few minutes, then smiled her first brilliant watt smile for the first time that day before saying,"Sure"
His heart felt light and his eyes glinted in smile but his stomach dropped at what she said next,"Now… since you hinted that Buyo was smelling better than me I suggest you give him a bath while I go take a bath of my own"
"You can't do that, he's a cat" he whined.
"Yes and he needs a bath and you're gonna give it to him" she said and proceeded upstairs.
He shook his head but Kagome was already gone, he looked down at Buyo who was rubbing his body on Inuyasha's legs. Then looked up and said,"Meow"
"Yeah" he said evily, the cat got the message somehow but before he could escape with his fat body Inuyasha caught hold of him,"So Buyo how long since your last bath?" he asked wickedly.
"Meow!!! Meow!!!" Buyo tried to call for help before being sentenced to death.
"Yeah, that long" he said as if the cat answered him,"No wonder you smell Buyo"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kagome stood under the steaming water with a sigh,"Aahh the wonders of a hot-bath" she contently lathered her body, while her mind drifted to Yumi and her current boyfriend forgetting that she'd left her cat at the mercy of Inuyasha.
If Yumi was distancing herself from Kagome before, now she was all but ignoring her and the reason was the confrontation they had.
"I don't know that a person could be this love-sick" she'd said to Ayame and Sango but they assured her that it was common and that she'd come around.
"But shouldn't you atleast stop and think what the hell your doing once in a while" she asked the shower nozzle, but only got water in her eyes.
"I mean I don't understand she behaved normally when I saw her last time, but that changed as soon as her so called boy-friend showed-up" she thought back to the demon currently ruling her friend's life.
She finally met him a couple days after the disaster they created in the pub. He'd laughed about that and thanked God he hadnt showed-up when he was supposed to,"The owner was a friend of mine" he'd said.
But throught out the meal Kagome couldn't help but feel a bad vibe coming from him and frankly she didn't think that he has any intention of sticking to Yumi for long. And she also didn't like the way he'd surveyed her from head to toe making her squirm inside.
"You're a fine specimen Higurashi" he'd said making Kagome want to sap him with her purifying energy and Yumi, she was just clung to him and giggled as if he'd said something funny. She was not even envious that her male friend is leering at Kagome and not her.
Kagome growled inwardly,'Come on Yumi wake up this guy isn't right fot you' but Yumi ignored her for most part, her eyes were only for him and he acted accordingly saying what Yumi wanted to hear like,"Your beautiful baby" not that she isn't but its seem that he didn't mean it and then,"We'll got to my place after dinner" its not even a question and Yumi was only to eager to acknowledge.
Kagome being the sensible one that she is took this opportunity to squeeze out more information from him like,"I heard you're the CEO of a pharmaceutical company" she asked,"So how long have you been CEO? How many of you are there in you family? Where do you live? Where he did his degree? So and so"
He answered everything with interest because to be honest no one asked him anything like that before. And although it was a bit annoying, he was fascinated that she seemed to not be interested in his money as most would. He suspected that she was concerened for her friend, which she should considering Yumi is in love with him,'Strange' he mused,'She too doesn't seem to want his money' maybe that's the reason he's with her for this long.
But the fire ball in front of him seemed to intrigue him more and more with her questions and suspicious looks.
"So Higurashi do you have a boy-friend?" he queried.
Her eyes narrowed but Yumi answered for her,"I think the sky'll fall when she finds one" she teased.
Kagome made a face but said,"No Hiten not yet" and she has to make sure that the gleam in his eyes was not because of her answer. So to be safe she said,"Although I think I have someone in mind"
This time Yumi narrowed her eyes,"And why didn't I know about this?"
"Maybe because you were never there" she muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" Yumi asked.
"Nothing" Kagome pasted a bright smile,"It's just that I was only thinking about it recently"
"Hmmm" Yumi still looked suspicious.
"So then who is he?" Hiten didn't believe her but was curious.
Kagome looked at him with eye-brows raised,"Someone who isn't a demon" she said.
Hiten scowled, "Kagome" Yumi hissed looking ready to fight.
"What?" Kagome asked non-phased,"You may have forgotten our agreement Yumi but I didn't" she replied not caring if she was offending Hiten.
This time Hiten asked his face stone cold,"Why? Do we repulse you so much?"
"No" Kagome answered easily,"I have way more demon friends than you can count"
"But you won't marry any" he drawled cynically.
"No I won't, no offence." She said while Yumi was fuming although she knew the reason behind Kagome's answers, she didn't think she has the right to be rude to Hiten. She's going to have a private talk with Kagome.
"Any particular reason?" Hiten wanted know.
Kagome shrugged and said;"Because of the way we age …faster than youkai" she stated,"I don't want to be a mere existence in a youkai's memory Hiten" her eyes were on Yumi when she said that. But Yumi eyes where blazing.
"You do have a point" Hiten was impressed by her logic and practicality. "But you don't decide who you fall in love with" he said.
"That maybe true but I won't let myself" she said challengingly.
"Oh will you?" he taunted, but Yumi was having none of it. Because after that Yumi was quick to cut short their lunch and left with Hiten throwing a stiff good-bye to Kagome. By the time they left Kagome strongly felt that Hiten is only toying with Yumi and that he's not at all serious about her vulnerable friend. She decided to have a talk with her but Yumi bet her to it.
Because the next day at school she pulled her away during lunch and demanded, "What was that all about Kagome?" her eyes were fierce.
"What? I didn't say anything other than the truth" she defended.
"But you should have some sense while talking to him. He's my boyfriend for fuck's sake" she cursed loudly, students passing gave them curious looks since they've never seen those two fight before.
Kagome looked at her for a long minute before saying softly,"You know I never heard you cuss this loudly and that too in our school" then said,"You've changed a lot Yumi"
"God dammit!" she exclaimed rather loudly attracting many other students attention,"Don't you have anything else to say other than you've changed and that you don't act yourself anymore" she screamed,"Are you that annoyed that I looked more confident and prettier than you? Or that I have a handsome boyfriend who loves me that you can't stand to see me happy?" she asked mercilessly to a stunned Kagome.
By now a small crowd had formed in the hall-way, she heard the cheer-leaders snicker at Kagome. She also heard Sango and Ayame's voice calling to Yumi but Kagome and Yumi were far too gone to listen to them.
"What? Don't you have anything to say?" Yumi sneered.
Kagome has never seen Yumi this furious even during one of her mood-off periods and the things she's accusing of Kagome is something she couldn't digest enough to answer but she manged,"Yumi why are you saying things like this?"
"Well I don't know maybe because you've been a snob yesterday to my boyfriend" she threw back.
Kagome flinched, "I didn't Yumi" she said as she got some of her voice, she had to warn her about Hiten,"Yumi that Hiten isn't right for you, he isn't in love with you he's just using you I can see it in the way he treats y-" but Yumi snarled.
"Shut-up" her voice was deadly calm,"Shut-up…you don't know anything and you don't want to know anything. All you think about is yourself; you don't even give a flying fuck about me. I realized that after I went out with Hiten and you constantly complaining about how I changed and other such non-sense." Kagome heard chuckle and snickers coming from the direction of the cheer-leader.
"Yumi" both Sango and Ayame warned.
They've been watching the pair and they think that Yumi's way out of line. Sango who knew Yumi only because of Kagome and she felt fiercely protective of the little miko when Yumi accused her of such outrageous things.
Ayame felt that Yumi was crossing the bounds with her friend here and in front of the cheer-leaders too. Even she didn't approve of Yumi seeing that demon after meeting him on that night when they were thrown out of the pub. She'd warned Yumi too, but she'd just brushed it off. So she didn't broach the subject anymore but she mentioned it to Kagome and Sango.
But Yumi didn't acknowledge their warning and continued her accusation on Kagome, "Not for one minute were you happy for me." She then gave a chuckle,"To be honest now that I think about it I think your jealous of me. You just wanted me to be your side-kick but I didn't want to, and now you're whining that my boyfriend is not sincere when you yourself are a hypocrite"
Kagome could only stare at her,"Yumi why ar-"
Yumi didn't let her finish,"You know what? Im sick and tired of your bossy attitude. Your nothing but a covetous person and I don't have to take this crap from"
"YUMI" Sango cried out in anger but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder, she turned and saw that it was Miroku, he just shook his head.
"Let her handle this" he said softly.
Something snapped in Kagome,"Who you're calling jealous Yumi? Need I remind you who was envious of who?" she asked but didn't say more than that, because eventhough Yumi was ready to throw allegation on her, Kagome didn't want to do the same. Since she still want her friend back and didn't want to anything that might jeopardize their relation which was already being battered.
She gave a depressing chuckle inwardly when she saw Yumi's eyes slid away from her in shame but only for a second,'Im like the ocean Yumi I can take anything you throw at me and im used to it anyways' she though sadly, the thought of losing her friend was overwhelming.
"You didn't have to accuse me of all those things Yumi when you know nothing you said was true" she said silently.
"Not true" Yumi asked indignantly,"What do you say about your behaviour with my boyfriend"
"You boyfriend as you call him is not honest with you, I wouldn't be surprised it he's fucking someone else right now" she saw the raised hand before it came to her and closed her eyes, but the slap never came.
She opened her eyes to see Miroku holding a furious Yumi's hand with narrowed eyes. Sango and Ayame where behind him livid at Yumi's behaviour.
"Don't you think it's a little overboard Yumi? Trying to hitting your friend like that" his voice was so cold that Kagome wondered if it's the same Miroku she knew.
Yumi snatched her hand and he let her, but didn't move an inch from next to Kagome. Yumi looked at her then at Miroku then turned on her heel and stormed away. Kagome watched the cheer-leaders follow her; she also heard Kikiyo's voice tell her.
"Im so sorry you lost your friend like that Kagome" she said with fake concern but victory in her eyes, obviously she's pleased with the turn of events.
"I didn't lose her" she heard herself say, but Kikiyo just gave her a pitying look before she strode away.
She walked when her friends ushered her away from the crowd and outside the school garden, they sat down under a tree. She followed them in a daze not believing anything that happened before.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Sango laid a hand on her,"Are you alright Kagome?"
Kagome nodded dumbly looking at the face of her worried friends before asking,"What was that all about Sango? You think I did what she accused me of doing?"
"Stop it Kagome" Ayame said,"All that came from her mouth was absolute crap and you know it"
Sango nodded,"She's just in the daze of her first love, that she didn't know what she was saying"
Kagome nodded,"She was about to hit me" still not believing that it almost happened.
"Kagome" Miroku called,"You have to let her live her own life and let her make her own mistakes and learn from them" he said touching her shoulder,"She is ….was a quiet girl until she had the first taste of love, though she's changing rather rapidly I think its good for her in someway. All we can do is warn her that there is a fall ahead of her. And if she chose to ignore us and go on to test it then we can only wait and watch, and help her when she needs a hand" he said softly.
"Yes Kagome you warned her and she's being a bitch" Ayame backed Miroku, "She'll come around when he ditch her for another. I've seen that weirdo for what he is and she also buffed my warning, so I decided to stay out of her way" her voice took a soft tone,"Don't be so hard on youself Kagome you can only do so much for her when she's being like that"
Kagome shook her head,"You don't understand guys, Yumi's stubborn to the core. She's also so much vulnerable, I've know her most of my life and she'll crumble from the blow if this relationship doesn't end-up the way she wants it to be. She's gone through a tough time during her life growing up in an orphanage and all. She doesn't trust anyone and once she did she'll totally give herself up and that's what she's doing with Hiten. I don't think she'll survive it and I don't want her to end up like a broken doll" she turned desperate eyes to Miroku.
"As you said she's stubborn, then how do think she listen to anything we have to say huh?" Sango asked.
"And she already thinks your jealous of her" Miroku said,"I think she's ready to break a long-term friendship without even a backward glance. That shows that she trusts Hiten more than you"
Kagome nodded a lump forming in her throat,"I –"
"Let her make her own decision Kagome maybe it'll make her stronger" Sango said.
But Kagome voice was firm,"She won't"
Ayame sighed,"Okay what if you and I are wrong and that Hiten guy turned out to be nice, then what? It'll be like just as she said, we're destroying her chance at happiness because of a silly assumption"
Kagome looked at her,"We both know that that's not gonna happen"
Ayame screamed in frustration,"Yes I know" she said patiently,"But we're talking about incase here" she said emphasizing the word.
Kagome scowled,"Yeah but—"
"No more buts, you let her go her way" Sango said tightly,"I came close to hitting her today if Miroku hadn't stopped me" she was still angry,"But what Ayame's saying is right Kagome"
The three of them looked at her, finally she gave up,"Okay guy I trust your right" 'but im gonna show Yumi about Hiten's true color, ofcourse they didn't have to know about that' she added silently.
"Now that you're convinced, shall we go see if they have any left-overs in the canteen? Im starving" Miroku said making Sango roll her eyes, now that he said it Kagome realized that she was hungry.
"You think nothing but food and groping Sango's ass" Ayame said frowning.
"Now that you mentioned it" Miroku said,"Grope" "Grope" Sango's eyes twitched and her hand connected squarely on Miroku's cheek.
"Pervert" she stormed off.
Ayame and Kagome laughed, while Miroku grinned and followed Sango,"Sango dear I couldn't resist your plum, round, firm…"
She turned and "SLAP" gave him one more.
"…and squishy and soft …." He continued rubbing his cheek lazily and grinning foolishly. Ayame and Kagome trailed after them giggling and shaking their head. Kagome's mood brightened rather well.
This all happened last week Monday and today is Sunday.
Now as she changed into her black patyala pants and a soft pink T-shirt, she thought of ways to expose Hiten's character. She was startled when she heard a loud screeching noise, like that of a cat caught between the door-jam. "Cat …" she thought confused,"Cat …Buyo" then she remembered Inuyasha as she heard,"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooow"
Her eyes widened and she bolted downstairs,"Buyo…" she shouted,"Inuyasha don't you..." she stopped mid-sentence as she reached the bath-room at scene in front of her and turned pale.
Inuyasha was standing with his shirt off with a smirk on his face and Buyo in his hands held firmly dripping wet looking smaller than usual. The cat's tail hairs were standing on end eventhough he's wet and he was hissing at Inuyasha. He looked like his eyes were bulging out and was trying to claw at Inuyasha but in vain. Inuyasha seemed not at all bothered.
"What are you doing? Put him down" she screeched.
He looked at her, "Giving him a bath as you asked me to do" then scowled.
"You chocking him for God sake put him down" Kagome went to him and tried to pry Buyo.
"But he's wet" Inuyasha protested,"He might catch cold"
She became frantic when he raised Buyo out off her reach,"What might I ask your doing about it?"
"Im wringing the excess water from him" he said as if she were an idiot.
Kagome turned green,"He's not a piece of laundry Inuyasha" she jumped but he moved away.
"Meow" the voice was soft as if Buyo was dying.
"But it dries quickly, I do that to my hair to help Una, after she washed my hair" he said proudly.
Kagome gulped not at all liking the shade her cat was turning even with all the fur and decided that talking sense won't save her cat and sapped Inuyasha lightly on the elbow.
He yelped and dropped the cat to rub his arms. Buyo didn't stop to see who his saviour was, he took off in lighting speed,"Wench I was doing what you told me" he growled.
"You were killing him" she snapped.
"I was not" he denied,"I gave him a nice bath with my own hands" he said,"I could've just put him in the washing machine ya know. But I didn't, because I didn't trust it to clean him properly" he continued,"But do I get a thanks, nooo… you sap me with you stinking miko power" he pouted.
"Inuyasha he's a living breathing creature, you cannot dry him like that ….or put him in a fucking washing machine"
"Why not?" he asked resembling a whining kid.
"Maybe because it'll squeezing the life out of him and not dry him" she suggested.
"Feh"
Kagome just stared at him; if the situation wasn't so serious she might've laughed out loud,"Have you ever bathed one of you dogs at home?"
He opened his mouth to say something then closed it. He folded his hand across his bare chest making his biceps bulge with muscles also showing his six-packs and scowled at her,"No"
She didn't see anything special in that hard flesh like most females did, but said,"I thought so. Take my advice and stay clear of living, breathing animals from now on. Oh and you should also remind me not to let you bath Buyo again" she said and walked away.
"Hey whats that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha followed.
"It means Im gonna trust you with animals again" she said.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kagome made it 5 minutes before the school's first bell rang then hurried to her class-room. She saw Yumi on the way and smiled hesitantly, but she just turned away. By doing so she successfully hid the guilt from her best-friend. Kagome watched her go numbly when the bell-rang; she gave one last glance at Yumi before sprinting off to the class-room.
She reached just in time. Then went to her seat and settled down with a sigh of relief before noticing a single red rose on her desk along with a small card. She could feel several eyes looking at her curiously mainly boys, some with jealousy and some with intrigue, she looked around but they averted their eyes before she could see them.
"Hmm" she gaze returned to the rose again with suspicion as if it might attach her any minute.
Finally giving up that staring at it won't give her the answers she need; she reached for it and observed it for a few second. After conforming that it is really a flower, she held it in her left hand and reached for the card and raised her eye-brows at the content.
It read:
We'll meet today dove, I can't wait any longer.
Love,
V
"Eh???" was her brilliant response.
She heard whispers from behind and turned to see several pair of eyes looking over her shoulder at the card. Kagome growled and was about to say something but the teacher came to save the day.
Kagome gave up trying to listen after the second period and now it's the fourth hour going on. Her curiosity got the better of her, as her mind kept wandering back to the rose in her desk draw and the card in her pocket,'Who could it be?' her mind kept supplying a steady list of possibility of who might've send it, but then she'll shake her head and say,'Nah it's not him' during one such head-shaking she caught the teachers attention.
"Miss. Higurashi do you have a different method that can be applied to this problem, that might be easier than this one" she gestured to the chalk-board behind her.
Kagome gulped as she stood up,"Umm—" she heard a few snickers which she decided to ignore,"There might be or might not be, either way Mrs. White I don't suppose you thought us" she said.
Mrs. White just raised and eye-brow,"In that case might I ask what where you doing shaking your head in denial when I claimed that this was easier" she asked.
"Heh Heh that…" her mind frantically searched for a reason.
"Yes that" Mrs. White prodded, some students where openly chuckling.
'Damn that fellow who gave me the rose' she thought,"I was thinking ….and aha… couldn't help but …yeah think how brilliant you are, finding an easy method to solve the problem" she smiled brightly.
"Oh do you now?" it seems like Mrs. White didn't believe a word she said,'damn her brilliance, can't she tell that I was telling the truth if she can see through my lie'
"Higurashi you will solve the one that I've written on the board and tell me the answer in five minutes and class you do the same" she then looked to her reference text.
Kagome looked frantic seeing as how she was day dreaming about a fucking rose-guy who called her a dove, for heaven's sake she wasn't that small,'I mean I know that im only 5' 3" but to call me a dove' she frowned and nudged Eri who was sitting in front of her,"Hey show me the steps" she whispered.
Eri giggled and raised her note a bit higher so that Kagome could copy her work,'differencitation of (x/y) plus f (10) equals to….' Kagome wrote furiously not realizing that in her hurry she was copying the wrong answer, as you guessed Eri isn't the brightest one among the lot but Kagome didn't have a choice and she didn't care,'Aha I hate calculus'
She didn't look-up as an attendant from the office speaking to Mrs. White,"Miss. Higurashi"
She snapped to attention with a salute,"Yes Mam" heart pounding as she was startled out of copying, the class roared with laughter.
Mrs. White sighed,"At ease Miss. Higurashi" she smiled slightly when Kagome blinked and then relaxed, she's a bright student but today she seems off,"Pack you bag, your wanted in the office"
"B- but I have the answers" she said desperately.
"Good you can give it to the principal if you want, and then you can go meet your visitor at the hall." she said.
There was confusion in her eyes,"Visitor…." She asked dumbly.
"Yes and it seems a distant relative of your's has met with an accident, so he's here to collect you" Mrs. White looked annoyed.
Kagome just blinked at her stupidly,"Accident?" she could feel her stomach drop,"A distant relative???"
"Yes Miss. Higurashi and please hurry, you're wasting my precious class time" she said irritated.
Kagome hurriedly stuffed her thing into her bag; somehow she didn't forget the rose and the card under her desk and hastily left the room.
Outside the principal's office she stopped only to gwak at a tall young man about six feet three making her seem like a dwarf next to him, he must be around 22 or 23 of age. He had a striking face sculpted like a Greek god. His complexion a tanned gold, which meant he spent many hours, out-doors and he had thick ebony black hair. Though tall he wasn't the least bit lanky, his body was molded into perfection with broad shoulders and muscled long legs. She noted that his navy blue-silk shirt was stretched taut across his wide shoulders with sleeves rolled upto the elbow, and the shirt tail was tucked into tailored formal black slacks that adorned his narrowed hips followed by long legs. Her eyes returned to his face which had a perfect nose and smiling lips to settle on his piercing brown eyes surrounded by thick lashes, and currently it was filled with humor which snapped her back to awareness.
She realized that she was standing in the middle of the hall-way gaping at him openly,'No wonder he's laughing at you' she thought,'Get a grip girl' she chided herself. She collected herself and wrenched her gaze from him and thought back to the reason why she came here, then proceeded to the principal's room but she was intercepted by that same male she'd been gawking a few moments ago.
"Miss. Kagome Higurashi" his voice was a deep baritone; he said it not as a question but as a greeting.
Kagome looked up at him in puzzlement, the previous fascination replaced by confusion,"Yes?"
"Im glad we finally met" he took her limp hand, shook it and kissed it. Her skin was so soft just as he'd imagined and she's so much more tiny now that he's standing next to her. Suddenly he felt fiercely protective and possessive.
"Hn" was her only response, he chuckled at that.
Eversince he saw her at the pub he'd been hiring private detectives to collect details about her and he'd been following her whenever he found free time. The first day he followed her to her friend house; she dropped him off there. Then walked to a bus-stand and caught a bus home. He'd been chasing after the bus like a madman, until he finally pursued her on foot as she got down from the bus to walk the short distance to her home.
Now he knew whatever there is to know about her. But as he followed her for the following week and the next, he came to a decision. He'll talk to her, date her for about 2-3 years maximum during which he'll make her fall in love with him (seeing as how he's already in love), then marry her when she's 18 or 19 and take her back to India with him. And her being part Indian was like a cherry on the cream. 'You belong to me dove, you just don't know it yet' he thought,'now im gonna court you' he gave her a smirk.
"Im Vikaram Sinha" (if someone has this name please forgive me, its just that I like the combination) he gave her a naughty smile that suddenly reminded her more of Rakesh Higurashi. "You can call me Vicky and do you think I could call you Kagome because I would like that very much. I heard your from India you'll be surprised but im an Indian too" While talking he steered her into walking away from the principal's office towards the exit and to the parking lot.
"My father Prakash Sinha is a doctor in Chandigar and im a business man" she looked at him oddly.
"I know you won't believe me" he sighed,"Most didn't, but I had my IQ tested. And you should believe me when I say its way above average and I graduated early than my shool-mates and had developed an uncanny ability to conjure up good deals and investments. Im the CEO of Sinha Corp. at Delhi in India, I came here to oversee the opening of my new branch here in Japan" by the time he finished they were standing near a shining black Mercedes and he was opening the door for her.
Suddenly she realized that she'd been following this stranger like a lost puppy being hypnotized by his voice. And she'd totally forgot about why she was out of school in the first place and frowned at her unual behaviour then took a step back,"Look here Mister—"
He didn't like it when she stepped back,"Now be reasonable dove, I gave you my name and I want you to use it. Its easy to say too, listen to me its V-I-C-K-Y"
Kagome remembered the many time she used to pronounce her name in such a way so that Inuyasha would use it, but her attention was riveted to something else her to said,"Dove…dove" she repeated then she caught it,"YOU" she pointed an accusing finger at him,"You are the one who send the flower to me today"
He smile,"I almost forgot, did you like it dove"
She was annoyed that he accepted that easily,"Who are you? Why did you send me the flower?"
He sighed,"Didn't you listen to anything I said dove" he asked, Kagome flushed ofcourse she heard everything.
"I heard, but what …or more importantly why are you telling me all this, and also the reason why you send me the flower?"
He gave her a heart stopping smile,"Because im your future husband and it's only sensible that you should know more about me, since I know all about you. And the flower is to show that I love you…" here he amiled sheepishly,"…and also that I happen to love red roses, so in that way Im giving my love to you"
He said all that like he's discussing the red-socks game that she just stared,'this guy has gall'she admitted, somewhere in the distance she heard the bell ring,"Were you stalking me?" she asked finally.
"No" he denied too quickly then said shyly,"Well yes…kinda, but I had to know about you"
"Why should you?" she asked.
"Because you're going to be my wife" he said as if it was obvious.
She sighed,'he reminds me of Kouga yet he doesn't, what the hell is so different about him than Kouga' she thought,'Well he's handsome…okay sexy too but…' she shook her head since she could feel a headache coming with all the thinking she's doing today.
"Are you ill or something? Do you want me to call a relative… a doctor perhaps?" she asked thinking that he's a retard.
He looked at her and then threw back his head and laughed, a booming sound that kept her mesmerized on the spot,"In all my life no one has ever said something like that to me" he laughed some more, Kagome realized that she liked the sound very much.
Finally he stopped and said,"Yes …I suppose you can say that im ill. I very much ache here…" he pointed to his heart,"…when I don't see you atleast once a day and I think the only cure for that is for you to stay with me 24/7 and…" he voice dropped to a husky whisper as he took a couple steps to reach her,"…this" with that he took hold of her face on each side in his strong hands and kissed her on the lips. Her lips were warm and so soft and he longed to posses it.
Kagome was too stunned to protest but when she came to, he was aready pulling away his eyes alight mischieviousness again. He dropped his hands to her shoulders and held her as they stared at eachother.
The pair didn't see the many pair of eyes watching them from the class-room windows and the school ground, since it was lunch after the fourth period. Kagome was well known in the school form her grades, she was also well respected among the juniors and she was known for the pranks she pulls on the cheer-leaders much to the satisfaction of the book-worms and her several unknown admirers which includes junior, seniors and childrens.
The many pair of eyes watched the exchange as sliently as they could between those two for the last 5 minute, until he suddenly kissed her. Then someone from the small crowd yelled,"GO Kagome, hound the hunk, he's so sexy" several of them chorused with a,"Yeah" "Go for it" but some of the guys were not pleased and they showed it by scowling or frowning or glaring daggers at the man.
Kagome was brought back to reality by the hoots and cat-calls and cheering coming from behind her. She looked at his eyes to see him grinning at someone over her head or rather; she turned around slowly in horror to see half the school's population there cheering and waving and calling about something like "sexy" "hunk" Her face turned a beautiful shade of red.
She felt him put his hands on her shoulder and draw her closer to his chest which increased the red more, which also earned another bout of hoots and laugher. And what he said next made them chorus in unision,"What do you think of our match guys?" he bellowed still grinning stupidly, obviously pleased by their reaction.
Kagome watched his face nestled in his hard chest, when the roar went up,"Perfect" "Superb" "You look sexy" so many answers were drowned out by the shouts and screams the small pack made.
He laughed,"Thanks guys" he looked down at her upturned face,"See… they love us" he said. Then she heard something that made her run for the hills.
"Kiss her" "Kiss her" "Kiss her"….
Kagome looked horrified as she realized,"You stole my first kiss" she yelled, pointing an accussing finger at him a second time.
"Good, because im gonna steal several more dove" then he ducked and did just as he said, then looked at her with a satisfied smile.
Kagome's ears where ringing from the shouts and something else. She stepped back with wide blue eyes and he let her with a chuckle. And then she said something again with that accusatory finger,"Kiss stealer" that made him laugh …again.
She turned and ran as if a rabid dog was behind her. He let her go content by the day's event and the kiss too.
She heard several snickers from behind and also his rich laughter but she didn't turn back. But heard nice and clear when he shouted
"I'll see you again, dove" he still laughed as the small mass whooped, he turned and wink at them then waved and got into his car, within seconds he speed out the parking lot with a satisfied smile on his face, leaving several females sigh wistfully (which he wasn't aware ofcourse).
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The next couple days were hell for Kagome; everywhere she went at school she was getting all type of questions. Varying form "How was the kiss?" "Was he good in bed?" "Are you still a virgin? Then you must be mad." Then a whole lot of this and that. Not to mention the advices and tips on how to please him and offers to take him if she's not interested. And she hasn't even seen him since,'not that she cared' and she began to wonder if it was a dream but the students made sure that it wasn't.
Kagome sighed as she sat down in a small restaurant near the school along with Sango, Miroku and Ayame. For some reason she was grateful that Inuyasha wasn't in Japan at the moment. They ordered their drinks and snacks, when Kagome looked up again the others were looking at her inquiringly, which was making her uncomfortable.
"SOoo Kagome whats that all about?" Ayame asked winking at the others.
Kagome scowled,"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Sure you do" Sango said,"I heard that he's was quite the hunk" this time Miroku scowled, she rolled her eyes"Ohhh stop it Miroku, you're the only hunk for me" which she shouldn't have said because it encouraged Miroku to "Grope"
Sango took a deep breath before slapping him,"Pervert"
"Will you ever learn?" Kagome asked shaking her head as the waiter placed their drinks.
"Yes Kagome I will someday" he said it so seriously that everyone looked at him,"Im trying to improve it to Sango's taste everytime I feel her rump, but i think im not doing it right" Ayame almost chocked on her drink when Miroku said that and Kagome just stared.
The he said sadly,"I think I need more practice, what do you think Sango?" rasing his had to inspect.
This time Kagome and Ayame fell over laughing while Sango turn an interesting shade of red. She let her hand fly at Miroku but this time he ducked and caught her hand and held it,"Now now Sango don't be shy" he softly rubbed her hand making her blush even harder but she didn't pull her hand away.
The others chuckled at the grinning Miroku and a blushing Sango,"You guys are made for each other" Kagome declared finally.
"Why thank you Kagome" Miroku said sincerely.
"Now why don't you tell us about that hunk of yours?" Ayame asked not ready to leave the topic alone.
Kagome just waved her hand,"He's no hunk of mine" whatever Ayame was about say next was cut off when they heard an electric guitar thrumb in the small restaurant. Every occupant of the restaurant turned to look at the back of the restaurant where a small dais was set up for dancing. And currently it was occupied by a man with a guitar in his hand; his head was bent as if he's looking at the strings in the guitar. Then he slowly raised his head and Kagome gasped which caught her friends' attention, as they looked from her to him and back again. He was wearing a dark blue jean and a short sleeve maroon T-shirt looking even more masculine than the last time, with muscles bunched up in his biceps as he held the guitar.
Vikram for his part smiled directly at her and said,"This is for you, my dove"
"Ohhh" her friends said in unision, Kagome blushed and ducked.
Note: I'll just translate for what it is and not turn it into a verse. And this song is one of my favourite so I decide to add some of the scenes that'll come in this song. Smiles sheepishly "Couldn't resist." You can see this song on the URL that I've posted in my profile.
He strummed the guitar again and sang a heavy piece.
Male: Adiya kolluthae, azhlago alluthey… (Your killing me, and your beauty lifts me so high),
Hie eyes never left her's as he continued palying the strong music with emotion. Since he sang in a language that she knew only the two understood what he sang.
Male: Ullagam surunguthey, eruvaril adanguthey… (The world is shrinking, and it fits around the two of us)
Kagome got up from the table and bolted leaving her friends to gape; Vikram just smirked and then went to their table and chatted with the lot.
Kagome sat in the public library trying to get some work done and forget about him, when she heard it again but this time he had four of the college guys standing behind him. She slowly stood up but this time he blocked her exit, everyone there stared at them.
Male: Unnodu nadakum, ovoru nodiyum arthangam sernthiduthey… (When I walk with you I find meaning in every second)
The guys did a few awesome steps that Kagome stared and inspite of herself smiled at him. That made his heart soar.
Male: En kalai nearam, En malai vaanam nee-endri kainthiduthe… (my morning and my evening are so dry without you)
By then the librarian whom he'd falsely tipped that there is a cheap sale of books on relics and history of Japan at the corner of the street came back with a furious look on her face, and threw them both out.
They both turned to look at a scowling librarian and laughed. She couldn't ignore the humour that presented in this situation.
From there he almost followed her everywhere she went like bakery, school, beach, park, coffee day, amusement park, during her school field trip, even her shrine while chatting with Mrs. Higurashi like a long lost friend and the list goes on and on....
The next time she saw him outside the window of her dance class in the evening, while Ms. Shanthi thought her dance steps. Kagome found her teacher by accident at a dance competition gala between different countries that was held in Japan that year; Mrs. Shanthi saw her practicing the steps where she stood copying the steps the professionals did, with precise move. And took her in as her protégé, eventhough Kagome told her that she couldn't pay for it. But it didn't seem to concern her. Turned out she was an Indian too before getting Japanese citizenship after marrying her husband.
Now Kagome watched with wide eyes as he mimicked her steps rather clumsily with the guitar hanging around his neck. When he did a step rather comically she couldn't help but chuckle. He made quite the picture on his tall frame.
Male: Yeravum pakalum neeadi, erayai poolae thurathuvatthum eano… (Morning and night its you, why do you chase me like a prey)
Mrs. Shanthi already figured out that she wasn't concentrating. When Kagome laughed she turned to see what was so amusing and raised an eye-brow at Vikram (who was standing with his right leg in the air, hip to another side and an arm raised in a weird angle). When he saw her, he stopped, squirmed then gave her a coy smile and then waved at her teacher rather shyly before diappearing. But when she turned around he was there again doing his funny dance, Mrs. Shanthi's eyes twitched and she gave up then,"Kagome your dismissed for the day"
The next time he followed her on the street all the way home.
Male: Muthalum mudivum neeadi, therinthapinbum thayanguvathum veeno... (My first and last is you, eventhough you know why do you hesitate?)
He walked beside her all the way, attracting the crowd some smiled; other gave the thumbs-up. All aroundthem every female where giving them look of longing. She smiled secretly as he sang, its becoming harder and harder to refuse him. It's been almost two week since he started chasing after her like this with a guitar and a movie song. It was endearing actually when she thought about it.
And every time …she smiled,'she liked him more.'
Feeling unexpectedly happy for unknown reason Kagome laughed and skipped a few steps, then turned and did a couple steps of her own and sang.
Female: Vaadai kartrinil orunal oru vasam vanthathey, pon neesam endrathey… (I smelled your heady masculine scent in the air and it told me about your love)
He moved forward still playing to her voice and mimicked her steps this time perfectly. Kagome wondered if he did that on purpose the other day to make her laugh. It didn't seem to matter to her and she continued. A few people around them joind the pair and copied teir steps.
Female: Unthan kankallil eano minsaram ullathey, en meethupainthathey… (I see electricity in your eyes that seemed to pass directly from yours to mine)
He tried to steal a kiss but she slipped from his arms with a cheeky smile.
Female: Mazhi kalathil sariyum, mun tharai poolavae manamou unnai kandathum sariyakandanae…(Like a landslide during a rainy season, I can see my heart sliding towards you)
He smile and continued to play as she finished, he started.
Male: Adiya kolluthae, azhlago alluthey… (Your killing me, and your beauty lifts me),
Ullagam surunguthey, eruvaril adanguthey… (The world is shrinking, and it fits around the two of us)
Unnodu nadakum, ovoru nodiyum arthangam sernthiduthey… (When I walk with you I find meaning in every second)
En kalai nearam, En malai vaanam nee-endri kainthiduthe… (my morning and my evening are so dry without you)
He kissed her good-bye that day or more like stole it, when she was distracted. The next time she saw him in the super market, but ran as soon as she saw him laughing all the way and finally stopped in a park. It seemed he had no trouble keeping up, because he was there when she looked up after taking deep gulp of air.
Male: azhagin seegaram neeadi, konjam atha naal thallinadapaenae…(Your a mount of beauty, and for that reason I'll walk a few steps away from you)
He said as she laughed at his outright lie, but for some reason she knew that he meant it. She sat down on a bench not caring that they have audience; she long since gave up being embarrassed or maybe she didn't care anymore. She raised her brows as he knelt down at her feet.
Male: Oru sol oru sol solladi, enthakanamae unnai manapaenea…(Just say the word I'll marry you right now)
Kagome looked stunned, then her lips slowly curved up in a smile. She cupped his face in her small right hand, he leaned towards it and closed his eyes as she sang.
Female: Solla varthaiyen sugamae, mazhil thogaipolavae en meethu uooruthae… (Unspoken words are like a feather that always caress you)
He smiled at her softly which she reurned. She then lifted her eyes towards the heaven, her hand still on his cheek and lifted her free hand towards the sky. He played and she sang it as if they'd done this all their life.
Female: Ella vaanamum neelam, sila nearam mathiram senthuram aaguthey…(The sky is always blue but sometime it turns to saffron)
She looked down again to see him gazing at her with eye filled with so much love for her, she wavered,'can she accept that…accept him …as something more than a friend.' Somewhere deep inside a voice whisered,'Yes' when she realized it, she was amazed to note that the last few weeks had been almost magical one for her. Almost …dreamlike but it is happening. Because she could feel his unwavering presence in the palm of her hand, as he brought one of his own to cover her's. She knew but she decided to think about it later and sang.
Female: Enakagavae vathai, ennilal polavae nindrai, unnaithondri nee ennai vendrayea…(You came just for me, you stood by me like a shadow, you dug yourself and won over me)
He smiled elatedly when she finished and then stood removed his guitar, placed it on the bench next to her. He took her hand and pulled her with him, she went laughing all the way as they danced around the park. some unknown guy took the guitar and played the same tune, a couple of childrens formed a fing around them and danced cutely while giggling shyly.
Male: Adiya kolluthae, azhlago alluthey… (Your killing me, and your beauty lifts me),
Male: Ullagam surunguthey, eruvaril adanguthey… (The world is shrinking, and it fits around the two of us)
Female: Unnodu nadakum, ovoru nodiyum arthangam sernthiduthey… (When I walk with you I find meaning in every second)
Female: En kalai nearam, En malai vaanam nee-endri kainthiduthe… (my morning and my evening are so dry without you)
They stopped then, laughing at eachother as the people applauded around them, they made their way towards the bench and sat down.
Vikram has deep understanding when comes to humans; he can feel that she's feeling something for him. And he can also tell that she's hesitant or rather figting it, he couldn't blame her seeing as how people in her life had roughed her little heart. But he's a patient man and he's ready to wait, she had to be of age anyway he thought grinning mentally. Until then a few stolen kisses a day are more than enough for him.
He took her hand then and looked deeply into her eyes and said simply,"I'll wait"
For some reason she understood what he was saying on a deeper level. She gave him a soft smile with eyes full of warmth and nodded before turning and laying her head on his strong shoulders. She felt his smile as he wrapped his hand around her small shoulder and whispered tenderly in her ear,"You'll always hold my heart" and kissed the crown of her head.
