Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha.
Unfortunate Triangle
I Choose You
Kagome had been gone for over a week, saying she had to do something concerning finals. Inu-Yasha had protested, but she had cried, and he had been a sucker and let her go.
Inu-Yasha was strongly regretting this as he sat in his tree and lazily watched the trees swooning to the wind's song of love.
His thoughts were blank. All he felt at that moment was loneliness, and he wished for the feeling to disappear altogether. No demon, not even a half- demon, should allow himself to feel such weakness.
He didn't know if he had just noticed it or if it had suddenly happened, but the wind was fierce now. It pulled his hair from between his back and the tree and sent it billowing behind him. Dismissing the sorrowful expression he had worn seconds ago, his features repositioned themselves into a wary scowl.
However, this expression didn't last long once her bittersweet scent reached his nose, causing his eyebrows to rise in surprise then tilt in remorse.
"Kikyou," he murmured.
She appeared bellow him underneath the trees shaking branches. Without looking up, she beckoned to him, which he felt more than heard.
He answered her by dropping to the ground in front of her.
"What are you doing here, Kikyou?" he asked.
She gazed up at him and wished that he wouldn't look so sad and pained when he looked at her. She didn't realize that she had the same expression upon her face when she looked at him.
"I came to see you, Inu-Yasha," she replied.
Without warning, he drew her into a tight embrace and pressed his face into her hair. She was too astonished to react.
"Please don't tell me you've come to kill me," he begged, burrowing his face into her neck. "I don't think I could bear it."
Kikyou was silent. She pushed away from him and looked into his eyes. His eyes always reminded her of a tiger lily, but they looked so sad now.
She tilted her chin up and brushed her lips past his.
He wanted to die with her right then, so he could feel the way he did at that moment forever. All his loneliness had vanished, and he wondered how he had lived without her for so long.
Her cheek was resting against his now. She hadn't kissed him for very long, but he felt it could never be long enough.
Kikyou memorized the way he felt, the way his face felt next to hers. Did he still look sad now? She was afraid to look.
Then she felt his lips on her cheek. Her eyes opened, and she looked at him. His eyes were closed, but his expression was still indecipherable. Why did he never blush when he was with her? Was he happy with her or not?
"Inu-Yasha."
"What?" he asked, nuzzling his face against hers.
At that moment his touch made her lose her courage to ask him anything. She didn't want to interrupt this moment with anything, not even to inquire if he loved her. She feared he might push away from her and from that emotion.
Sensing what she wanted to hear, he relaxed and kissed her forehead, taking in the way she smelled and the way she felt against him.
"I choose you," he uttered.
Kikyou wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face closer.
She had so many things she wanted to say and so many things she wanted to do, but she didn't have the chance because a girl came down the path, dragging her large backpack behind her.
The girl's eyes fell on the two, and her mouth fell open in astonishment. "Oh," she breathed, taken aback.
Inu-Yasha stepped away from Kikyou, but his eyes didn't leave her. She was glaring at the speechless intruder, who was none other than Kagome.
"Kikyou-" Inu-Yasha began.
"I will be back later," she said plainly and disappeared. The wind was calm again.
Kagome turned away from him and started walking back to the well.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha called.
"I have work to do back home," she told him. "I just remembered."
"Don't lie," he said, jumping in front of her.
"Okay," she said. Then both were silent.
He could feel her looking at him, but he was afraid to return her gaze. He didn't want to hurt her, but he had to choose between her and Kikyou at some point, didn't he?
"Kagome-" he began, but she cut him off.
"You don't have to explain anything," she said.
"What?"
"I understand," she said with a small smile. "I understand if everything that we've been through isn't enough."
Inu-Yasha felt an intense pain in his chest. Why was she smiling? Did she not care for him like he thought she did? Everything between them always went unsaid, but he thought that there was something there.
"I understand," Kagome continued, "if I'm not enough."
Hearing her say this made him want to wrap her in his arms and tell her she was being stupid.
"Kagome," he choked. She was still wearing that damn lighthearted smile.
"I'm going home," she finished and stepped around him.
He reached out behind him and grabbed her wrist. He didn't turn to face her, but he said, "Stay."
He could hear the small sigh escaping her lips. "How can you ask me to stay?"
He released her, and she left.
He looked down at the hand he had held her wrist with and wondered if he had made the wrong decision.
Author's Note:
I was folding clothes yesterday and today, and the urge to write this fanfic became stronger, so I sat my lazy patoot down and wrote it! It's not very long, but none of my chapters seem to be. o.o'' This fanfic isn't going to be a plot with a romance nor a romance with a plot. I just want to write it this way. When I look for romance fanfics to read, I'm too impatient to get to the good gooey nice stuff, and this is a fanfic for people who don't like to wait either! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Well, maybe I shouldn't call it the first chapter because I don't know if I'll continue it. I'll see what kind of reviews I get. *hint hint* I tried not to make this too corny. I wanted drama, not vegetables. Not even yummy vegetables. Anyway, I'm trying a new thing out! This will hopefully make reading my fanfics more enjoyable, even if it might ruin the entire mood of the fanfic. ^.^'' For this new idea that I'm sure everyone else has done already, read below.
Parody One
Inu-Yasha was strongly regretting this as he sat in his tree and lazily watched the trees swooning to the wind's song of love.
"Where did that brief, pointless spark of romantic personification come from?" Inu-Yasha wondered.
Parody Two
Without looking up, she beckoned to him, which he felt more than heard.
"Ew?" said Kagome, who was inexplicably poked her head out from one of Inu-Yasha's sleeves.
"What the-?!"
Parody Three
She tilted her chin up and brushed her lips past his.
"I thought one would say 'passed' instead of 'past,'" Inu-Yasha voiced.
"I don't know about that," Kikyou admitted, "but there sure are a lot of curvy dash thingies at the end of your sentence there. It says comma apostrophe quotation marks! How confusing!"
Parody Four
Sensing what she wanted to hear, he relaxed and kissed her forehead, taking in the way she smelled and the way she felt against him.
"I choose you,
Pikachu!"
Kikyou slapped him and sobbed, "You've been cheating on me with a Poke-ee-man?! How could you?!"
Inu-Yasha stuttered a reply, but Kikyou ran off with her arms flailing in the air.
"I only wanted to be a Poke-ee-man master," Inu-Yasha said whimsically.
Parody Five
She had so many things she wanted to say and so many things she wanted to do- what?! Jeez, Kikyou! Let's try to keep this PG-13. Nasty slut. *drop-kicks Kikyou off into the horizon*
Parody Six
"Kikyou-" Inu-Yasha began.
"I will be back later," she said plainly and disappeared. The wind was calm again.
"Kagome-" he began, but she cut him off.
"Dammit! Will you people stop interrupting everything I-"
"No," Kagome said. "Shut up."
Parody Seven
He released her, and she left.
He looked down at the hand he had held her wrist with and wondered if he had made the wrong decision.
"YES!!!" screamed all Inu-Yasha/Kagome supporters, who made a cameo in this fanfic, so they should review this fanfic pretty please even if it might have been corny and even if these parodies are lame. PEEP!
