Inu Yasha's 18th
Chapter 2
Just then Kagome walked in. She hadn't taken a bath because her hair was still dry. She set her bag down in the corner then sat across from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay?" Kagome asked him but she was sitting further away than usual, Inuyasha picked up on this instantly.
".yeah." His ears drooped a little as he studied the ground intently. They were all quiet for a long moment. The sun finally disappeared and left the 4 in complete darkness until Sango got up and lit a few candles. "Kagome, Sango, I will not hurt you I promise. I think I will be able to control." He cut himself off and his eyes grew wide and fearful.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked as he stood and stepped a little in front of the girls.
"Inuyasha?!" Kagome crawled passed Miroku who tried to stop her but she twisted out of his grasp.
"Kagome!" Sango hissed.
"Inuyasha! Please answer me!" She reached out her hand to touch his shoulder.
In a flash Inuyasha jerked his head up to reveal a halfway transformed hanyou. 'He's fighting his youkai half.' Kagome pulled her hand back quickly.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha said in a raspy voice. He flung himself at her and caught her waist.
"No! Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. He heard this and let her waist fall from his shaking grip. Inuyasha held his head in his hands. "Kagome! Get away from me! Go home!"
"No Inuyasha!" She whispered pleadingly.
Inuyasha and Kagome locked gazes for a few seconds before he ran out of the hut and into the dark woods. 'That smell, that wonderful smell.' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'I have to get away from it before I hurt her!' he leapt into the trees and went to the lake were he sat on a large rock to relax his instincts.
For about an hour Inuyasha sat at the edge of the river watching fish swim by, he had been relaxing his arousal until he heard Kagome calling for him. 'No. Kagome. I have to get as far away from her as possible for just a little longer.' He leapt into the trees but made sure to stay downwind and close enough to her to hear her if she needed help.
* "I believe he just turned 18." Miroku said as he left to guard the hut and wait for Inuyasha's return.
Kagome rubbed her waist were Inu Yasha left his large handprints. 'He lost control.....' Although Kagome always secretly loved Inuyasha she didn't want to be taken advantage of by a demon. She just wanted his hanyou form, the one she loved so much. 'Oh Inuyasha.' She sighed as Sango left to inform Kaede, who had been taking care of a boy who had broken his arm earlier.
After about and hour Kagome started to get a little worried. 'Where are you Inuyasha? I hope you're alright.' She decided to go look for him. The sun was gone and it had been almost an hour. Kagome had been trying to finish her homework but couldn't concentrate long enough, she had only two problems done and was sure they were wrong. She jumped up and ran out the door but something grabbed her arm.
"Kagome? Where are you going?" It was just Miroku.
"Please Miroku. I have to go find him!" Seeing the look of desperation on her face he couldn't say no. He nodded and let her arm go. "Careful Kagome."
"Thanks." Kagome ran off into the woods leaving Miroku to watch for Inuyasha.
*
"Inuyasha?! Inuyasha! Please come here!" Kagome had been heading towards the river but when she came to it there was no sign of Inuyasha ever even being there. She sighed in defeat and sat on a rock dangling her feet in the cool waters.
It seemed like hours she had been sitting there, thinking about Inuyasha the entire time...
*snap*
Kagome spun around when she heard a small sound behind her. Standing on the rock she called out, "Inuyasha?"
No reply.
Okay, now she was starting to freak out. She felt her heart speed up, she hoped it was him, but also hoped it wasn't. 'What if he can't control himself? What if it's a demon?!' She thought frantically to herself.
Jumping off the rock after a few silent moments she started to head back to the village, to safety. Out of nowhere a small dragon-like demon jumped in front of her, blocking her path. It was about as tall as her waist and was covered in slimy spit looking stuff. It's head was almost gooey looking, like jelly. It opened its mouth to reveal dripping fangs that hung out of it's mouth and dripped what looked like blood.
"Eeeeww!" Kagome cried as she ran the other way. She didn't want to even look at the creature it was so disgusting. Just glimpsing at it almost made her gag. She could hear it closing in on her fast as she came up to the river. 'Oh no! I don't have my bow and arrows! Nothing!' Instinctively she cried out the first thing that came to mind. "INUYASHA!"
The small dragon came out from the bushes snarling and panting. Kagome knew it was week, but without any weapons she couldn't harm it a bit. It walked forward, obviously it liked the smell of fear on its prey before it ate them. Kagome's throat tightened not allowing her to speak. She could barely move, but she managed to back away a little. At the edge of the water, she could feel it on her heals. 'This cold liquid will be the last thing I will ever feel!' She thought as she closed her eyes shut waiting for the fatal bite, fire ball, or whatever the thing would do to her, to come. But it never did. Instead of having her life cut short she heard a screeching come from where the demon had been. As she opened her eyes, her heart leapt. It was Inuyasha; he had slashed the dragon in half, but in doing so, splattered goo all over the both of them.
She jumped into his arms hugging his slimy waist.
"Inuyasha!" She cried as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back.
"What are you doing out here wench?" He whispered into her ear. In a way this comforted Kagome. His voice had been soft and gentle. She felt the heat of tears welling up in the back of her eyes but let them spill out onto his haori, she was just glad to have him back.
"I came looking for you. You left before I could say anything." She looked up into his eyes. "I was worried about you."
Inuyasha let go of Kagome as he felt her body against his and the scent teasing his nose. 'I hate instincts.' He thought to himself.
"I heard you scream my name. Why did you call me instead of Sango or Miroku, they could have dealt with that demon easily." He watched her lean against a rock out of the corner of his eye.
"I guess I just.I don't know Inuyasha! You ask the hardest questions!" She said this playfully, smiling in his direction. He looked at the ground then back at Kagome crossing his arms over his chest. The two of them were silent for a few moments before they both realized that they were covered in goo. Inuyasha heard Kagome laugh lightly as she looked at him, dripping with the stuff. Ignoring the slime Kagome walked over to his side and looked at him straight in his eyes.
"Are you okay now? I mean, can you control your instincts?" She gave him a worried look.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Of course not!" Kagome looked at him stubbornly.
"Good. And I think I can control them as long as you don't touch me. I had to let you go just now because of that."
"Okay. You aren't going to send me back to my time are you?"
"I though about it but you would just come back." They glanced at each other, both blushing a little. "Kagome?"
"Hm?"
"You have to promise me that if I do lose myself that you will sit me, hard, and then run like your life is at stake, it might be." Looking down at her he saw a quick look of shock/sadness go over her face. "If you do that I am sure I will be held off long enough for you to get away from me."
".Okay." She sighed. "Well, I have to take a bath, sooo."
"What? I'm not leaving you now that a demon just tried to kill you!" He was serious. It made her smile inside, to think, he would be so worried about her!
"Well, ugh! Stay over there and face the woods then!" Kagome blushed as he did exactly that mumbling something about stupid instincts and shy girls. 'Well, at least he seems a little nicer. Maybe those instincts will do some good.' She though as she stepped into the water with her clothes on.
Once the water was up to her collar bone she looked back to see Inuyasha behaving himself and watching the path back to the village. She slipped her skirt and shirt off keeping a close eye on her companion. 'Oh no! I left the soap and shampoo in my bag back in the hut!' she mentally hit herself. She was happy the goo came off so easily though, the water got it mostly off. As she put her clothes back on in the water she saw Inuyasha's hair move out of the corner of her eye. Kagome smiled to herself knowing he just took a peak at her. He was actually controlling himself pretty well she thought. 'Maybe he's actually struggling more than he let's on.' This thought made her smile disappear. 'Wait a second?! Does this mean that he is attracted to me? Maybe Sango was right. Maybe Inuyasha really does like me but just won't admit it because he thinks I will be in danger if his enemies find out.' Once again she smiled at her thoughts but was interrupted by Inuyasha telling her to hurry up.
She climbed out soaking wet. She didn't have a towel or anything to dry herself off. Oh well.
"Took you long enough." Inuyasha said as he got up from the ground and started to walk back to the village.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Kagome yelled after him.
"To the village of course." He looked back at her confused then realized what she was going to say. "I'm not taking a bath!"
"Ooooh yes you are! If you don't I will sit you so hard it will take days to pry your face from the ground!" She was tired and didn't want to argue with him.
"Feh." But he pulled his haori off and jumped into the water. After a few minutes he got out and went on all fours. Smirking at Kagome, he shook himself almost completely dry but only making Kagome wetter.
"Inuyasha!" She cried as she lifted her dripping arms.
"Jump on. I'll show you why no one ever sees me wet."
"What? Didn't you say not to touch you?" Kagome walked up to Inuyasha who was kneeling down.
"Yeah, but I don't call riding on my back something that will set off my instincts." He smiled at her as she jumped on his back.
The second he had her legs in his grasp he leapt into the nearby trees and ran through clearings at full speed. Kagome was either screaming in terror or happiness making his ears ring and flatten against his head. He ran through the neighboring village. People who were outside either saw a flash of red, white, and green or just felt a gust of wind go by.
Kagome's point of view (POV)
I held on tight as he ran through the woods and then I think I saw a village go by. Everything was too blurry for me to make out. The only things I noticed were Inuyasha's sides breathing heavily and his warmth against me as the wind froze me to the bone. My hair seemed to dry completely in just a few minutes. Eventually getting over my fears I started laughing, I knew he was just showing off now. He jumped high over the trees and came down soft, not making a noise.
It had to end sometime though, after a good half hour he headed back to the village. Once there, he didn't set me down the usual way, instead he somehow pulled me around to his front and held me around my waist for a second, looking desperately into my eyes as if he wanted to say something before setting me down.
"That was great Inuyasha, thanks." Kagome blushed and ran into the hut leaving Inuyasha to fight off his feelings. He left to go sit in a tree to try and calm his heart beat. 'I don't think I should have let her ride for so long.' He thought as he looked down at his pants. Before he could get to a tree Miroku walked out after him.
"Feh, relax monk, nothing happened." Inuyasha just wanted to be left alone.
"That is not why I came out here, Sango and Kagome asked me to leave while they had a 'girl talk' ." He smirked at his hanyou friend.
"Oh no! I'm not going to get caught with you spying on them!" Inuyasha backed up a little.
"Come On Inuyasha! Maybe they will talk of us!" This sparked interest in the hanyou and he sighed and followed the monk back to the hut, which was only a few trees away.
The two crouched low and crawled to the back of the hut where there was no window but they would be able to hear fine. They could hear them talking rather loud and giggling at something Kagome said before they had gotten there.
