Chapter I: SECRETS NEVER LAST LONG …
"If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground,
it will but grow, and gather to itself
such explosive power that the day it bursts trough,
it will blow up everything in its way."
-Emile Zola-
As they walk towards the village hand in hand, Inuyasha
suddenly stopped on his tracks that made Kagome look back over her shoulders to
meet his gaze with a confused look on her face.
"Inuyasha, why did you stop? We need to
get to Kaede's hut, it's getting dark already ne?" she asked.
"Kagome, I think we should keep 'this'
to ourselves first…I mean 'us', what happened just recently," he said with a
sad tone.
Kagome look at his face sternly, tears
threatening to fall and she asked with a shaky voice.
"Why? Why Inuyasha, are you ashamed of
me?"
"No! I'm not, don't ever think about
like that!" he snapped.
"Then why do you want to keep this from
our friends, I don't want to keep it a secret, I want to tell them the truth!",
she said irritated.
"Listen Kagome, I don't want to keep it
secret either but for now we need to, believe me, if any of our enemies find
out about 'us', you'll be in danger more and I just, I just don't want you to
get hurt. You have to understand, it
would be for the good of us. (He paused
and sighed) When everything's over, we'll tell them, I promise," he explained
to her not losing their eye contact so she could feel the sincerity in his
intention.
She nods in agreement realizing that his
intention is for her sake only. She
squeezed his hand that she still been holding and smile at him.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have acted like
that. I understand now, we should keep
this to ourselves for now and act as if nothing happens, right?" she said
before they resume towards the village. Inuyasha just smile and nod to her before he let go of her hands to his.
"This could wait too (talking about their holding
hands) and by the way Kagome, it's just like acting the normal 'us', that
wouldn't be hard I think," he grunted.
Upon reaching the village, they readied their self
to put the best convincing "act" in front of their friends, until a certain
kitsune bounced up to Kagome's arms excitedly.
"Kagome, where have you been? I missed you; I've
been so worried. Did Inuyasha do
something stupid again?" asked the hyper active Shippou while eyeing the hanyou
with the corner of his eye.
"Feh! I did nothing brat, so shut up!," he said
with the same grouchiness as ever, with his arms crossed over his chest and his
stuck up nose while his sensitive ears keep on twitching whenever a sound is
heard. (A/N: Awww, cute 'The all almighty Inuyasha pose')
Kagome just smiled and patted his head
the way a mother would do. She has
grown to love the kitsune as if he's her own son and so did the fox child to
her. The rest of the group came out
of the hut they've been staying, Sango, Miroku, Kirara even Kaede.
"So Kagome-sama where were you and
Inuyasha have been?" inquired the nosey monk with a mischievous grin on his face.
Kagome blushed remembering what happened
between her and Inuyasha. "Oh nothing,
we just talk, that's all." She entered the hut catching Sango's hand. "Sango-chan, is there anything to eat here,
I'm a bit starve now."
"Oh sure, we are just waiting for you
two, so we can eat dinner and then we can talk our plans over it," said Sango.
Miroku
felt a bit neglected to Kagome's reply so he faced the hanyou to ask but he
regarded him with his usual lines.
"Feh! None of your business!" with the
same scowl on his face and gruff attitude.
"But
I haven't said anything" he said to himself realizing that Inuyasha is already
entering the hut where the dinner is being prepared.
Suddenly Shippou bounced into Miroku's
shoulder, catching him off guard he almost fell but kept his balance.
"Hey Shippou what's wrong with you, you
almost knock me off my feet", he said while straightening his robes and making
his way to Kaede's hut.
"Haven't you noticed anything suspicious
between Kagome and Inuyasha," Shippou whispered in his ear that made him stop.
Miroku
looked at him and asked, "What made you think that, I haven't noticed
anything." Shippou looked at him with
are-you-real-monk-that-you-haven't-sense-anything-or-your-just-plain-stupid
look on his cute face (A/N: yes, Shippou is cute). Miroku sigh and said,"Ok there is something suspicious, but what
about it, I mean Kagome-sama looks happier and Inuyasha is his usual self, it's
always been like that, right?"
"Yeah I know…but there is something that
really bothers me, as if they are hiding something to us and I want to know
what is that," the kitsune said with such determination. " Ok we will try to find out but if we fail
then don't blame me if Inuyasha gets back to you," "I don't want to be held
liable to it," the monk finished.
"So lets formulate a plan, so it would
work. Do you have anything in mind
Miroku," asked Shippou. Miroku looks as
if he has something in mind and then an evil grin grazing his face and he
abruptly replied, "Yeah! It would be fun Shippou…it would be…"
