Summer Days
Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 14th one, so please go easy. Ok, so now the gang has added to their mission. Inu's parents were killed by a demon named Miyamoto and Inuyasha has promised to help find and kill this demon. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue what he looks like since no one has ever seen his face..
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 8
The next day, the group woke up early and prepared to leave. Inu was back into his normal form and was like most five year olds when woken up earlier than they wish- grumpy and pouting. He stood silently at Inuyasha's side with a tired look and continuously rubbing his tired eyes. "We don't know how to thank you for letting us stay so long." Said Sango brightly to Leiko.
"That's right. We're very grateful." Said Kagome. She nudged Inuyasha in the ribs. He had fallen asleep at her side at that moment.
"Yeah, yeah." he muttered tiredly.
"Well you're always welcomed back. I think you're missing someone." Said Leiko. Kagome looked and noticed Miroku was missing. When she spotted him, he was leaning against a fence pointing at the palm of his right hand as he talked to a young girl who just giggled. Sango scowled and went over to him, grabbing his ear just as he asked the girl to have his child.
"Let's go." Said Sango, marching by, still holding Miroku's ear. Kagome bowed quickly and took Inu's hand, following after Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha following from far behind with Shippo, both very groggy. Inuyasha yawned and began to walk ahead of everyone, rubbing his eyes.
"So, where are we off o?" he asked, looking over his shoulder at them. Miroku was pulling on his ear and frowning.
"We'll have to pass through the forest and probably spend the night in another village." He answered. Inuyasha frowned. "Unless Kagome thinks there's another shard close by. She shook her head.
"its too far off to get to today." She answered. Inuyasha grunted and looked forward. Kagome frowned a bit. She could understand he was upset about having to wake up early, but he was staring to act like he did when the very FIRST met. Inu yawned and ran ahead to Inuyasha's side. He grinned up tiredly up the half demon.
"I'll race you to the start of the forest." He said, pointing ahead. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the boy.
"I don't race little kids." He informed.
"You're just scared I'd beat you." Siad Inu knowingly. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at the expression that crossed Inuyasha's face. He smirked.
"You obviously have no clue what you've gotten yourself into, kid." He said and began running at top speed, catching Inu of guard, but he soon went running after the half demon, very close behind.
"Wow, he's pretty good." Said Miroku, becoming very impressed as the boy managed to get up at Inuyasha's side. "Though, what more can you expect from a quarter demon, huh?" he asked with a chuckle. When they met up with Inu and Inuyasha, the boy beamed up at Kagome and Sango.
"Did you see me? If Inuyasha hadn't tried to rip me I would have won." He informed. While the boy talked, Kagome noticed Inuyasha was focused on he forest. He frowned and turned to Miroku.
"Are you sure this is the only other way?" he asked.
"Well yeah. unless you want to swim that is." He informed. Inuyasha frowned even more.
"C'mon now, its jus a little walk. What are you worried about?" asked Sango. "Is not like we haven't passed through forests before."
"Yeah, well I have a feeling we're going to meet some one unwanted in here." He muttered. As they walked through the forest, after much arguing with Inuyasha, the half demon continued to look around as if expecting some one to attack.
"Cheer up Inuyasha. We're safe in here." Said Shippo, who was walking a little way ahead of him.
"That's right, you act as if someone is going to just come by and steal one of us away." Said Kagome brightly. Just as she said this, she felt someone's arm go around her waist and her feet lift off the ground. "HEY!" she screamed.
"It was just my luck to be running to a near by village and happening to find the mother of my future son on the way." Said a voice and Kagome looked at the guy who was running with her in his arms.
"Kouga." said Kagome in shock and he smirked while coming to a stop.
"So glad you remembered me, beautiful." He said, sitting her on the ground. "Tell me, how's the half-breed treating you?" Kagome narrowed her eyes at him..
"He's treating me just fine thanks." She answered and turned her head to see the group running in their direction.
"Get away from her now and I may just consider killing you quickly." Ordered Inuyasha He and Kouga glared at each other. It was already known they didn't like each other since Kouga had claimed Kagome as his woman and Inuyasha obviously didn't like the idea of any other guy being with Kagome unless it was him.
"Hey dog boy. I see no one has killed you off yet." He said. Inuyasha frowned.
"C'mon now you two. We don't need to get side tracked here, now do we?" asked Miroku, using his staff to put some space between the two rivals. "And what kind of example would you be settling for little Inu over her?" he asked. Inu stood next to Shippo with a blank look on his face. Inuyasha frowned and turned away.
"He wasn't worth the fight anyway. Let's go." He half demon ordered, and continued to walk. Kagome frowned and looked at Kouga.
"What are you doing out here anyway?" she asked.
"I've got some business that involves someone as well. What about you?"
"It's none of your business." Answered Inuyasha. He had stopped and was now glaring at the group. "Kagome, lets go." He ordered. Kagome scowled and Miroku let out a sigh, slumping against a tree.
"I'm no your pet, Inuyasha. You can't go around ordering me on what to do." She informed and Kouga smirked, moving a little closer to her.
"That's right, Inuyasha. She's a grown woman and can choose whom ever she wants to be with." Kouga said knowingly. "And with the way you're treating her, I'm surprised she hasn't come back to me."
"Oh dear." said Sango noticing the look on Inuyasha's face.
"I was wrong when I said you were better than Kikyo, Kagome." Muttered Inuyasha, turning his back toward them. "Being betrayed by her was one thing. but I wouldn't have thought that of you." He said. Kagome looked at him and stepped away from Kouga.
"You mean that, Inuyasha?" she asked, hurt from his words. The half demon crossed his arms but didn't look at them. "Fine. I know when I'm not wanted. Bu for the record, I'm NOT Kikyo, and I'll never wan to be!" she informed and stomped off. Sango turned o her two-tailed ca demon at her side.
"Go after her, Kirara. Make sure she doesn't get into any trouble." She ordered. The cat ran after Kagome and Sango rounded on Inuyasha quickly. She went up and glared at he half demon in the face, but didn't yell due to the hurt look on his face.
"Let's go." Ordered Inuyasha. Kouga frowned and ran ahead of the mall, calling something over his shoulder and Miroku shook his head. Suddenly Inu ran up and got up in front Inuyasha, looking at him defiantly.
"You're wrong, Inuyasha!" he announced angrily. The half demon looked at the little boy in front of him and glared at him. Inu had the look in his eyes that Kagome would have when she was glaring up at Inuyasha defiantly.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Kagome is ten times he woman Kikyo would ever be!" he announced. He turned his back to the half demon and crossed his arms. "And you of all people should know this. At least Kagome isn't some crazy bitch that's trying to kill you and claims to love you." He said and turned to Inuyasha with a scowl. "Kikyo is nothing compared to her." He said and walked off, climbing into a tree and refusing o come down until Kagome was brought back.
"Well you had better get going or we won' be getting anything done." Said Miroku. Inuyasha scowled.
"I don't apologize if I didn't do anything wring." Informed he half demon and Sango scowled.
"But you did do something wrong. You claimed Kagome betrayed you just by what Kouga said. You don't really think she'd go off with him do you?" she asked. Inuyasha scowled even more.
"Well you had better get started. If she's riding Kirara, she'll be at Kaede's by nightfall." Said Miroku. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome let out sigh and entered the hut that Kaede always had reserved for her, Inuyasha and Shippo. She went into a corner where she would usually leave her spare things and began o pack her things up. She wiped a ear off her cheek and le out a shaky sigh. 'Why are you crying about what he said Kagome?' she asked herself. 'You know its not true.' She nodded her head. "I know."
"You know what?' she jumped and looked over her shoulder to see Inuyasha sanding and leaning against the closed door and watching her closely.
"Is none of our concern Inuyasha." She answered, and continued to do her packing. Inuyasha came and sat next to her and stared at her. Kagome frowned inwardly. She really hated when people did this to her.
"Are you really going to go?" he asked finally. Kagome looked at him and noticed he sadness in his eyes She turned away and continued her packing.
"Well seeing that I am not as good and great as Kikyo, I'm sure you guys can continue the hunt for he jewel shards without me." she said and looked down, he hair falling and thankfully blocking her face as fresh tears dripped from her eyes. Inuyasha pushed the hair from her face and tucked I behind her ear.
"Kagome. I'm sorry." He said quietly. "I was wrong when I compared you to Kikyo. and to be honest, I lied at what I said about you being worst than her." Kagome shook her head.
"No you're right. I'm nothing compared to Kikyo. I couldn't even shoot an arrow correctly, and I'm suppose to be her reincarnation." She said sadly. "I guess the fact I look so much like her it ticks you off." she muttered. She then turned o him and reached for he ward around his neck. "It's all my fault.. I ruined your life and its time I fixed it all." she said and he grabbed her wrist lightly before she could take it off him.
"You're wrong. You basically fixed my life after getting me off that tree. And besides. you don't look exactly like Kikyo anyway." He said. Kagome looked at him curiously and he loosened his grip. "You look gentler and happier than Kikyo ever did. and you have a happier spirit." He said and looked away in embarrassment.
"Is that a good or bad thing?" asked Kagome quietly.
"A good thing. I have to admit you were beer than Kikyo at a few things. and most of all it was getting me to get over my hared and I guess I kind of. love you for it." Kagome instantly went into tears and threw her arms around his neck.
"I love you too, Inuyasha." She cried and buried her face into his shoulder. Inuyasha then cupped her chin and made her look up at him. He looked a bit unsure until Kagome pressed her lips to his. She ran her tongue across his bottom lip trying to get him to open up to he kiss, which he wasn't too reluctant to do, and had his own tongue in her mouth. She had already known Inuyasha had never wanted to kiss her in his demon form because he had fangs, but as they kissed, she really couldn't ell he had fangs at all. Inuyasha tried to lean back into the wall, but he was further away from it than he thought and fell back onto the floor, Kagome on top of him. When they broke off, Inuyasha leaned up and put his forehead to hers.
"We can't do this if I'm in this form you know." He informed. Kagome frowned a bit, pushing her hair out of her face. "I don't want to hurt you with these." he said, holding up his hand. Kagome took his hand and laced his fingers with hers before kissing him gently.
"I'm sure they won' get in the way." She said with a grin and leaned in, beginning to kiss him once again.
"I guess they won't." said Inuyasha in her mouth as they kissed.
