Deception In A Kiss
Chapter 6-Unaccepted
~~~***~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inuyasha sat next to her and laid Tetsusaiga between them.
"Kikyo was angry because she knew that I had feelings for you. I suppose she decided that she would find out if you could stop me from going with her in the end. It all started the night you left, two weeks ago." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
******Flashback******
Inuyasha sat on the highest branch in his tree, watching Kagome sleep. She tossed and turned, rolled this way and that.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah Kagome?"
"I'm going to take a bath okay. I can't sleep. And don't you dare peek at me you peeping tom!" Kagome said, getting up from her sleeping bag.
"Feh!"
Kagome picked up the bag with all her bathing essentials and walked toward the river, hoping the water wouldn't be too cold.
Inuyasha waited until he couldn't see her anymore, before he began hopping from tree to tree. It only took him a few minutes before he reached the side of the river.
Kagome stood by the bank holding her items in hand, not really moving to get in the water.
"Inuyasha, I know your hear! So come out!" Kagome's voice called to him.
He jumped out of tree overhead and landed softly behind her.
'Why didn't she sit me?' He thought silently.
Kagome turned around slowly, then looked him in the eyes.
"Inuyasha? Can I tell you something I think is important?"
"Feh! I don't care."
Kagome looked down at the ground and then stepped up to him, taking his hands in hers.
"Inuyasha, I'm in love with you. I have been since we first met! I know you probably don't love me back, but I love you."
"Kagome? What are you talking about?" Inuyasha said curiously.
"Didn't you hear me? I said I'm in love with you! I know you love Kikyo, but I couldn't hold it in any longer. I love you and I want to be with you!"
Inuyasha stood in shock. He had never imagined that Kagome would come right out and tell him something like that. His heart beat frantically in his chest.
"Kagome? You mean it?"
She only nodded.
"I don't know what to say." Inuyasha said quietly.
"Just say you love me and you need me too!"
Kagome put her arms around his neck then. She looked into his eyes as if he were the most fascinating being on earth.
"Don't you love me Inuyasha?" She said pulling his head in for a kiss.
"Yes." He muttered.
Then their lips touched.
'This doesn't feel right. It's so lifeless!' Inuyasha thought and broke the contact.
Kagome only smiled up at him as she stepped back.
"I'm going to take my bath now! Go on and go back to camp, I'll be there shortly."
Inuyasha looked at her strangely before jumping into the trees, heading back towards camp. Then, a light surrounded Kagome's body, and three of Kikyo's soul gathering demon's showed up, souls in tow. Once the light faded from Kagome's body, it was no longer Kagome standing there. It was Kikyo.
Inuyasha, not too far away, saw the transformation and nearly fell out of his tree in shock. He hadn't kissed Kagome at all; it was Kikyo in disguise. Inuyasha then became angry and ran back next to her.
"KIKYO! Why did you lie to me?" Inuyasha asked, still not believing Kikyo would do that to him.
"Because Inuyasha. That girl has your heart now. I needed to find out for myself if I could ever truly take you with me to hell! I know you love her now, she is also your weak point. But you will come to hell with me!" Kikyo said.
Inuyasha couldn't get a word in before Kikyo's gather's lifted her body into the air and took off into the night. Then a sudden thought entered the Hanyou's mind.
'Where is the real Kagome then?'
He quickly ran back to the campsite and looked at her sleeping bag, but she wasn't there. He guessed the Kikyo used some kind of illusion to make his see Kagome getting out of her sleeping bag. If that was so, then where was the real Kagome. He sniffed the air and quickly caught her scent. Following it on the ground, Inuyasha soon caught up with her.
"Inuyasha! You scared me! I thought I told you not to look peeping tom!" Kagome said turning around and stepping into the river water.
Inuyasha turned and walked back to the camp.
"So she really did go take a bath." Inuyasha pondered to himself.
He soon fell asleep, leaning back against his branch in the tree.
***********End Flashback**********
"That's what happened. I swear on god almighty! Now that I think about it, the 'Kagome', I saw was a trap set by Kikyo I'm sure of it."
Kagome still sat next to him, but her mind was drawing blanks. Here was Inuyasha, sitting beside her, telling her that he loved her and not Kikyo, but yet, all she could feel was numbness.
Inuyasha glanced over at her. He knew that she probably wouldn't be able to handle it very well.
"After you disappeared, I was so angry. I thought Kikyo had done something to you, or that some demon took you and I would never find you again. Kagome, I'm sorry that whole mess with Kikyo happened, please just come back. I miss you and I want you with me."
Kagome looked into his eyes and saw the sparkling tears that threatened to spill.
"I need time Inuyasha! I can't just go back with you. I need to process all you just told me and make sense of it all." Kagome said getting up from the boulder.
"I guess I can understand that. I'll go back to Kaede's. Please make up your mind soon, I really do love you, you know." Inuyasha whispered in her ear.
Kagome blushed and was even more surprised when Inuyasha lightly kissed her lips before turning and running into the forest.
'Now that's what her lips should feel like!' Inuyasha thought, smiling at the memory of her warm lips against his, even if only for a moment.
Kagome watched him run into the forest, still frozen in place.
'He kissed me! He actually kissed me!'
Kagome couldn't get the feel of him out of her mind. His lips were softer than she had ever imagined. Even though it wasn't a long kiss, it was her first and she would surly remember it.
"Kagome, is every thing okay?" Hari's voice came from behind Kagome.
"Yes. I suppose I should get tending to dinner now 'Eh?"
Kagome walked back to the cave without noticing that almost everyone was looking at her. Hari walked beside her. Kagome, so deep in thought, just walked into the cave and started cleaning things out. Her mind thought about the kiss yes, but she didn't really know what to think about everything else that happened with Inuyasha.
It was true that she wanted him to love her in return, but she never imagined that it would really happen. When had he fallen in love with her? Her mind kept asking similar questions non-stop and she was about to go insane.
"Love can't ever be easy can it?" She asked herself.
Kagome now noticing that Hari sat in the corner of the cave, stopped and looked at her.
"You never told me who you loved Hari." Kagome said as the wolf Demoness came to stand next to her.
"Promise me you won't laugh?"
"I promise!" Kagome said holding up her hands.
"Okay. Well, for years I've loved Kouga, but he doesn't love me. Only you!" Hari said with a bit of jealousy in her tone.
"Aww! I'm sure he will forget all about me soon. Have you ever tried to tell him?"
"No. I'm too shy."
Kagome suddenly got an idea.
"Wait here." Kagome said running out of the cave.
Kagome ran outside and saw Kouga sitting on a large boulder near the meadow that she normally plays with the children in.
"KOUGA!" She called to him from way over by the cave, sending it echoing throughout the mountainside, also hurting all the demon's ears.
"Heh, Heh! Sorry guys!" She said a little quieter.
She ran over to Kouga, who was walking towards her as well, and took his hand in hers, pulling him back to the meadow. Once they were out of hearing distance of everyone else, Kagome started her match making plans.
"Kouga. What do you think of Hari? She's beautiful right?" Kagome said.
"Not as beautiful as you."
"KOUGA! Look, in reality, you know that I will never truly belong to you. I want you to be happy, but with someone else. Hari told me that she's been in love with you for years, but you never noticed it. Kouga, take her as your mate. Be happy with her. I love, I love Inuyasha. So go love Hari and stuff!" Kagome said laughing.
Kouga had no idea why she was laughing, but gave her the strangest look he could muster.
"Kagome. I can't love another but you."
"Don't make me hurt your feelings Wolfy! You know that I can never truly be yours, so just go and live a happy wolf demon's life with her. Besides, she loves you more than I ever could anyway." Kagome said and walked back to the cave, leaving Kouga in state of bewilderment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
***Next Chapter:
"Sesshoumaru! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
Sesshoumaru just smirked and walked past her and sat in the soft grass behind her.
"Sesshoumaru? What's going on?" Kagome asked suspiciously"
"Wouldn't you like to know what happened to Inuyasha? Why he is dying?" Sesshoumaru said, smirking.
