The following chapter was inspired by a couple of scenes from the movie
'Ghost' starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Amuse yourself by playing
"Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers during waffy
moments...no..really....i'd really like to see someone who'd actually do
that.
Disclaimer: I know that you know that we all know that I know I don't own
Inuyasha, ya know?
If Time Could Hold Still for Ten Minutes...
Sesshomaru was almost too aware of his brother's presence and cleared an opening in his mind for Inuyasha's thoughts.
'I need to ask a favor..'
'What?'
'I need to borrow your bod-'
'No.'
'Just for ten min-'
'No.'
'Dammit Sesshomaru! Just ten damn min-'
'No.' Inuyasha jumped out of Sesshomaru's mind and paced for a few minutes. He was frustrated by his brother's coldness. He stared at the back of Sesshomaru's head and then back towards the tree Kagome was crying at. His eyes seemed to play tug-o-war between the two sights before his mind finally took over and made the choice for him.
Kagome wiped away the rest of her tears and scoped the cold grass for her bow and arrows. A rustle was heard behind the limbs of the giant willow tree and Kagome was automatically armed and ready for anything. A shadow ran past, a shadow that almost didn't catch Kagome's eye.
"Kagome?" A tingling sensation ran up Kagome's legs as she realized who the voice belonged to.
"Inu..yasha?"
"In the flesh. Well...in a matter of speaking."
"But I thought...how can you be..."
"Kagome..What happened back there with Naraku?"
"You don't remember?"
"It's a long story so i'll give you the short version. I have to get the jewel from the past or you die."
"Nice short version." A small laugh escaped from Kagome.
"Why are you hiding behind the leaves, Inuyasha?"
"Can I trust you?"
"Now what kind of question is that? Of course you can!"
"Then close your eyes..."
"What?! What kind of a favor is that?!"
"Just do it!!"
"Alright. Jeez, i'll close my eyes." Kagome tried her best to keep her eyes closed when the warmth of a hand fell upon her shoulder. The hand pulled her into a hug and she dug her face into the muscular torso of her hanyou. Wait.. torso? When had Inuyasha grown that tall?
"Kagome, I can't protect you here."
"I know...Kikyo is here an-"
"No dammit! That's not the reason! I literally can't protect you! But I want you to know that i'm by your side - always." A smiled pushed through Kagome's sadness, and before she knew it, Inuyasha's lips were pressed against hers.
When he finally released her, Kagome couldn't resist temptation any longer. She opened her eyes to meet the golden eyes she knew so well. Her eyes met the amber ones, and the three stripes, and the crescent moon on the forhead.
Sesshomaru tried to push his own thoughts back into his head. 'Damn you Inuyasha!' Kagome screamed and slapped the demon in front of her, knocking Inuyasha from Sesshomaru's body. Inuyasha lay on the grass, regaining his strength. Kagome however, did not need to stay underneath the tree any longer and fled to another area to make camp for herself. Sesshomaru'e eyes changed from amber to crimson when Kagome's hand met his flesh.
"Inuyasha! I know you hear me! Don't do that ever again.." Sesshomaru returned to the river for the second time that day to take a sting from his cheek.
Kagome lay awake by a fire when she felt a chill again. She instantly sat up to search for Sesshomaru. There he was, washing his face by the river. She turned over on her side and watched the flames dance into the night sky.
"Inuyasha. I know you're and I know what happened today was your doing." Inuyasha climbed down from his perch from a low branch and sat behind Kagome's figure.
"Inuyasha...if you can hear me...I need your help. I put the pieces together and figured out that Kikyo will be attacked in the morning by Naraku." Kagome lowered her voice so Sesshomaru couldn't hear from the river.
"That means the Inuyasha from 50 years ago will be stealing the jewel. I need you to distract Sesshomaru so I can get there before him. I have a plan that will work if he doesn't find out. I won't let you or that little girl die by Naraku's hand." Kagome finally let her eyes rest for the night.
Sorry..I needed the waffiness...Next chapter: Action, more action, and Miroku gives birth to eight legged monkey baby. Not really....but now that I think about it....
