Unasareru
Chapter 3
Hey everybody! How are you? Well, we'll finally get into some of the plot here.
Random people- Yay.
Okay, review responses are at the bottom. Special thanks to Tiger of the Wind, who has somehow really managed to motivate me. And I'm very grateful for it!
Okay, for our contest:
Laurie found out that Ijin's last name means 'all evils'. Sounds friendly, ne? Hooray! Good job, Laurie! You can read Laurie's story- 'Sweet Lies'.
NOTE: You'll notice that I changed Ijin and Kagome's relationship slightly in the last chapter. They are more close friends, now. I can mess with the relationships a lot more now, since I haven't ruled anybody in the love. square. out.
Disclaimer- Inuyasha is the property of Rumiko Takahashi and. other people who are not me. But I love him just as much.
On with the story!
Inuyasha watched as the ebony-haired girl greeted her friends. As always, his jewel-detector went off first.
"Well?"
Kagome sighed slightly. -Why is he always like this right when I come back? Sometime I wish he would just.- She shook her head. Inuyasha immediately felt bad and gave her his cocky smirk. It seemed to work.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The dark figure adjusted his appearance, changing into a more natural form. His new angel-like appearance was detracted from only by his sinister smirk and black wings, not to mention the foot-long, jet black horn sliding out of his forehead.
He stepped over to a familiar youkai. The crane bowed slightly. "How goes your mission, Shishou [this is only the Japanese word for 'master', not nessecerily the character's name.]?" He looked at her carefully. "Fine for now Tsuru [this actually is the name of the character. The Shishou is speaking to the crane youkai. Tsuru literally means crane (as in the bird)]. I don't think anyone suspects a thing. I trust you're taking care of the hanyou?" Tsuru bowed again. "Yes, Shishou, everything according to plan, but." His icy eyes glared at her. "I will not stand for hesitation, Tsuru." He snapped coldly. "I understand."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~
Later that night, Inuyasha led Kagome away from the others. Miroku had just slipped his hands into an inappropriate place on Sango, and she had given him a slap that could be heard miles away. Shippou was too busy trying to calm Sango that he didn't notice his 'parents' slipping away into the trees.
They sat in a forest, the moonlight spattering the trees and ground a silvery color. It was romantic and mysterious. The looming shadows danced across her face as he turned to her.
"Kagome, I."
She gave him an encouraging look, urging him to continue.
"I'm. sorry." He winced at the end as if she was going to hit him. She only nodded. "Arigatou, Inuyasha." -That was easier than I thought it would be. - He thought to himself.
She sidled over to be next to him after a few moments of silence between them. She rested her head on a tree behind her and looked up at the stars. Unconsciously, her head came in contact with the hanyou's shoulder. He blushed and considered pushing her off. That thought lasted all of one millisecond. Instead, he slipped her down into the crook of his arm, pulled her onto his lap and watched her fall asleep. He soon felt comfortable enough to lean into her warm body and fall asleep to the rhythm of her genle breathing.
They awoke a few hours later to find the faces of Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and even Kirara staring at them intently. Kagome blushed furiously and laughed nervously, as she struggled to untangle herself from the mess of limbs that were herself and Inuyasha.
The half-youkai got up groggily and, noticing the people around, promptly cried out. He looked down at the girl who was struggling to pull his clawed hand off her waist.
He couldn't quite remember the previous night, other than the fact that they had fallen asleep together. For a moment he wondered how much he didn't remember, but promptly reminded himself that he wasn't Miroku.
Shippou was staring at them, not quite sure how to think. Miroku smiled coyly. Sango wore an 'it's-about-time' look.
"Oh, please, guys. You don't think."
No one answered. "Hentais." A very disgruntled hanyou jumped away, leaving his female counterpart with four very curious companions.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After Kagome had promised to come back the next day, her friends hesitantly let her go home to her time. She had to meet Ijin and her other friends. She had to make up some excuse for leaving again.
"I'm sorry," she finished with a sincere note. Ijin eyed her curiously. "That's okay, Kagome. You have a good time in Kyoto! Tell us what it was like." Kagome laughed nervously. "Sure."
Once the other girls had left, Ijin sat down next to Kagome. "You won't forget me, will you?" he whispered into her ear. Kagome turned to him and smiled. "Of course not!" Her eyes danced. "I never forget my friends. Besides, I won't be there long!" Ijin's face contorted slightly at the word 'friend'.
He nodded and stood. "Say, Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"Would you like to go to the mall or something?"
"Sure Ijin. Sounds good to me. Let's invite everybody else!"
"Maybe we shouldn't. You know, just you and me?"
Kagome shifted uncomfortably. She didn't see Ijin as a boyfriend. She really never had. They'd had a lot in common and he was a good friend. Not boyfriend.
Ijin looked at her pleadingly again. "Okay." She obliged quietly. She promised herself that she wouldn't mislead Ijin into thinking she was romantically interested in him. Ijin grabbed his keys, just as before. They left for the mall.

Inuyasha had grown tired of waiting and headed to the well. He had a bad feeling and seeing Kagome would make him feel a bit better. While the rest were distracted, he slipped unnoticed down the well.
On the other side, he could smell the wonderful scent that teased him constantly. Kagome herself was nowhere to be found. He took to tracking her down. He put his nose to the ground, following her trail, when he picked up a suspicious smell. "Kagome!"
Okay! Sorry, that was kinda short. But this was the best time to end. Not as much fluff as expected? Sorry for that. That's not it though! There's plenty more!
Tiger of the Wind- As always, I can't explain how much your reviews mean. I hope that was a decent amount of fluff to hold you over until later. Ha ha ha!
Whitetail- *hugs Whitetail* Inspiring you to write your own? Are you kidding? I could be given no higher compliment! That means a lot to me! Tell me your story when it comes out, okay? I'd absolutely love to read it!
