Finally, I managed to squeeze this into my schedule. Heheh. Actually, I was motivated by how sweet Inu-Yasha was in a certain episode of the anime.
Inu-Yasha is Rumiko Takahashi's!!!
STORY: BED OF THORNS CHAPTER: 3After the shock of the kiss had worn off, Inu –Yasha felt his arms unconsciously slip around Kagome's waist, and felt himself returning the kiss.
***
The real Kagome couldn't hold herself any longer. She felt worse than the time she had seen Kikyo kiss Inu- Yasha. She pounded on the mirror with force, with no avail.
"Inu- Yasha! That's not ME! INU- YASHA!" Kagome cried out at the reflecting mirror. The prince shook his head, and laughed silently to himself.
***
Inu- Yasha's ears pricked up. Startled, he broke away from the kiss. Had he just heard Kagome's voice? Silly! He told himself. How could Kagome be faraway when she was right beside him? Convincing himself, Inu- Yasha laid his head on Kagome's shoulder, his nose drowned in her scent.
Wait…that wasn't right, his nose deciphered. This girl didn't smell like a warm and cozy room. She smelled more like some sort of plant or vegetation. Inu-Yasha backed away from her embrace, and glared at her. "Who are you?" he demanded angrily.
The girl in front of him cocked her head in surprise. "Why, Inu- Yasha, I am Kagome."
Inu- Yasha's claws twitched. "Don't lie to me! My nose never deceives me!"
The girl sighed. "You know, it would've been so much easier if you were satisfied just kissing me. That way, you could've been happy with me, while Prince Rui was happy with that girl Kagome."
Inu- Yasha's head snapped up quickly. "Did you say…Kagome?" He grabbed the girl tightly by the collar. "Tell me! What did that bastard do to her?"
The girl smirked, and laughed in a high- pitched voice. Inu-Yasha felt his temper rising.
"Shut up! Answer me now!!!" he snarled.
Almost out of breath, the impersonation forced a smile, and said in a low voice, "Let me go, and I'll tell you." Inu- Yasha slowly took his hands off her, but stayed close. The girl, kneeled down for a few seconds to catch her breath, then walked to Inu- Yasha. She softly placed a hand on his cheek, and brought him close to her.
Inu- Yasha immediately stiffened. "What are you doing? Hurry up and tell me!"
The girl smiled coldly, and whispered into Inu- Yasha's ear. "I don't have to tell you anything."
Before Inu- Yasha could react, she quickly pulled a rose out of her pocket, and pointed it towards him. Instantly, a flood of fragrance filled the room. Inu- Yasha stared blankly for a few moments. Then, baring his teeth, he started after her, but somehow, his legs wouldn't budge.
Cursing under his breath, Inu- Yasha covered his nose. "Damn, this smell is somehow paralyzing me!"
The girl leaped out of the hut, and swiftly landed outside. "You see the power of my rose? You'll NEVER rescue your woman with strength like that, half- breed!"
His knees wavering under the effects of the smell, Inu- Yasha felt himself start to kneel onto his knees. 'At this rate, that woman will get away, and I'll never be able to find out where Kagome is!' Thoughts of the times with Kagome flooded his mind, and Inu- Yasha felt himself burn with anger.
'That wench won't stop me from rescuing Kagome! I won't let anyone stand in my way!' Inu- Yasha painfully pulled himself up, and felt the effect of the paralysis slowly wear away. Once fully up, he hurriedly unsheathed the Tetsusagia, and started after the girl at lightning speed.
"You won't get away! Not until I know where Kagome is!!!"
In a flash, Inu –Yasha appeared by the girl. Quickly, he lifted the Tetsusagia, and was about to bring it down on her, when the girl turned around, and softly said, "Inu- Yasha."
Inu- Yasha froze in midair. Standing that way, she reminded him of Kagome, and he relaxed his grip.
Seizing the moment, the girl jumped out of the sword's path. "What a joke. You can't bring yourself to kill me, because I resemble the girl you love. How pitiful!" Laughing loudly, she started to lift the rose in her hand again.
Inu- Yasha screamed at himself in his mind. If that girl attacked him with the same shower of fragrance, he'd be toast! Acting quickly, he dodged the hit, and leaped behind her. Then, Inu- Yasha swiftly brought down the Tetsusagia.
The girl turned around, and crossed her hands in front of her face to shield herself. It was her fatal mistake. The sharp fang shredded the rose in half. The girl's eyes widened, then opened her mouth in a silent scream as her body disappeared into thin air.
The petals of the dissipated rose dropped to the ground lifelessly. Inu- Yasha stared at them quietly, and then looked out at the horizon.
'Kagome, wait for me! I won't let anything happen to you!' Resolving that to himself, he watched as the sun slowly set, turning the sky a soft shade of pink and lavender.

Inu- Yasha's Lesson: People who look too much like Kagome are a problem.

AN: Um….if the girl seems too much like Kodachi, I'm really sorry. The thought went through my mind while I was typing this. J Review! ( I've decided to stop my previous ways of begging for reviews because one reviewer complained about it. If you're curious to see who, take a look at the reviews)
