A Secret Love
Author's Note: Anyway, I did this to have some fun. I was thinking, what if Kikyo didn't exists in their lives (don't we all wish that?) and Kagome lived in Inuyasha's time? Well this is what this fic is about. And starting now their journey begins.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters, just this fic. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~* Chapter 11
Inuyasha was running towards the village at top speed, ready to get Kagome. and Shippo, so that they could go off and get the jewel shards. As he made his way toward Kagome's house, he spotted her mother and Shippo together. "Hey, Mrs. Kagome's mom!" he called. She looked up and smiled when the young man came up to her.
"Inuyasha, you weren't around for breakfast. We were beginning to wonder if you were coming back." She said cheerfully. She had managed to start trust the half-breed since he and Kagome stayed around for two extra days. Inuyasha nodded and looked around.
"Have you seen Kagome? We're suppose to be starting the jewel shards." He answered. Mrs. Higurashi nodded in understanding.
"I believe she and Kaede went somewhere to talk." She answered. Shippo jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder.
"She and Kaede-baba went to the springs. I don't think they want us there though, cuz Kaede told me to stay here." He informed. Inuyasha looked at Kagome's mother who was continuing on her way before looking at Shippo.
"Were we to meet them there?" he asked.
"No, I think they wanted us to meet them here. Kagome did bring extra clothes with her though." Inuyasha smirked and then made his way toward the Hot Springs, despite Shippo's protest. He stopped in a tree and watched as Kaede sat working on a fire and talking to Kagome whom was bathing. Shippo had his back turned and was covering his eyes.
"What's the matter? Not afraid to see a little skin are you, baby kitsune?" Inuyasha teased. Shippo turned to him with a scowl.
"Leave me alone." He muttered and continued to look away. Inuyasha snorted and turned around to see Kagome just as she got out of the water. His eyes widened at that moment and his jaw dropped. He was aware of the fact Kagome was a female, but he never noticed how much her body had developed this much. He leaned forward in the tree and saw Kagome let out a sigh and run her fingers through her hair and stretched backwards. She then blinked and screamed.
"SIT!" At that instant, Inuyasha felt his face collide with the ground. Shippo bounced out the tree and landed on top of the angry half-breed.
"I told him you would get angry Kagome-chan!" Shippo announced. Inuyasha lifted his head just as Kagome tied close her kimono, which was long and blue. It had two a long split on both sides of it and the sleeves were to her elbow and were loose, much like the ends of Inuyasha's sleeves were made. She narrowed her eyes at Inuyasha and turned away.
"I have to go get my bag and things. I'll meet you here. Shippo, why don't you some with me." The little fox demon agreed and bounced after Kagome and towards the village. Inuyasha growled and sat up weakly just as the spell wore off of him.
"Dammit!" he yelled and punched a hole into the ground. He massaged his knuckles and scowled at Kaede, who was chuckling silently to herself as she cooked a large fish over the fire.
"A very clever way to try and win the girl's trust, boy." She said casually, smiling gently in his direction. Inuyasha scowled.
"I don't need your lectures." He muttered and crossed his arms, muttering to himself. Kaede smiled and began humming to herself while the half breed swore under his breath and muttered things he'd do to Kagome once he got rid of the ward around his neck.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Shippo bounced along Kagome's side, looking up at her in curiosity. The girl was fuming still, but not nearly as much. Though he was young, he felt that there could be something going on between Inuyasha and Kagome, but since they were both stubborn from what he saw, they weren't going to tell each other. "Kagome-chan. you're not mad at Inuyasha are you?" he asked. She looked down at him and shrugged.
"No, I'm not." She answered and smiled a bit, looking down at him. "Ever since I was young I could never be too mad at him for too long. except for when he disappeared for ten years. That was the longest I was ever upset with him, though I know it wasn't him fault. I couldn't help but think he could have at least came back for one day just to see me." Shippo was about to ask where Inuyasha went for ten years, but noticed the sadness in her eyes and decided not to.
"Kagome-chan!" Both of them stopped and Kagome let out a loud groan as a boy ran up to them.
"Hi, Houjo."
"I'm glad you decided to stay in the village another day." He piped. Kagome forced a smile and Houjo grinned innocently. "The village has a visitor too! That strange man with the white monkey cloak."
"DAMN!" both Houjo and Shippo blinked in shock at Kagome's outburst and she did a quick bow before running towards her house, Shippo close behind after recovering from shock. He felt that if Kagome was talking like that, it was a better thing Inuyasha had vanished from her life for ten years if in the few weeks he had known them, Kagome was already picking up Inuyasha's bad habits.
"Kagome, who is this guy?" Shippo asked when she had grabbed her things and was now making her way towards the forest in quick pace.
"I don't know his name or who he is, but the last time we saw him bad things began happening and he always wants to see me. I have a bad feeling about that gut and I don't like him." She answered. When they got back to Kaede, Kagome's mother and Souta were both there and Inuyasha was sitting a distance away, obviously still upset.
"Well, I see you're ready to leave." Said Mrs. Higurashi cheerfully as they all gathered to say their good byes- Inuyasha didn't move or look in their direction. She hugged Kagome and kissed her forehead. "I want you to take good care of yourself. Just because you've got Inuyasha protecting you doesn't mean to go looking for trouble." She said. Kagome smiled.
"She's got to look for trouble to find the jewel shards, mom." Informed Souta. Kagome been over and purposely hugged her brother tightly and kissed his cheek, before hugging Kaede.
"We'll take care." She said and looked over her shoulder at Inuyasha. "You gonna come say good bye?" she called at the half demon. He let out a growl and stood up, his arms folded across his chest and still scowling.
"You be good Shippo." Said her mother brightly. Shippo had jumped in her arms and got a hug as well as his tail stroked and cooed over, then he hopped onto Kagome's shoulder. "And you too Inuyasha!"
"Feh." He grunted and turned his head in a different direction. Her mother shook her head and kissed the half-breed's cheek, as well as gave him a bone-crushing hug. Shippo couldn't help but let out a silent laugh at the look on Inuyasha's face when she did this. As they made their way to start their journey, Shippo noticed Kagome give him a gentle smile and giggled as Inuyasha tried to rub the kiss off his face. Shippo laughed and smiled happily. He couldn't help but think this would be able to enjoy traveling with Kagome and Inuyasha. They were his family now, even though Inuyasha was an arrogant jerk at times.
