Blind Love
Chapter Two: Alive
Kagome's POV
I opened my eyes.
And screamed.
" KAWAII!"
I promptly glomped the boy in front of me and began to toy with the adorable dog-ears on his head. They were so soft...I heard a rumble and looked down. Was he purring?
Maybe they weren't dog-ears after all...
I shrugged.
Maybe it was a dog youkai thing.
I kept petting them.
Kawaii...
After a few moments, I released his ears and back off, earning a nearly inaudible whimper in return. To which I giggled. Then my eyes widened.
" Are you...Inuyasha?"
He nodded as he stood and dusted himself off.
I slowly looked up at him. He never told me he had such pretty eyes. Gold... but I had to be sure. He could be a fake.
So I let my eyes fall closed, and I ran my fingers over his facial features like I had numerous times. My nails grazed along his jaw line, and I playfully outlined his lips with my finger. This was him. But I still had to be sure...
I stood on the tips of my toes and kissed him.
He was surprised at first, but began to kiss me back, his arms wrapping about my waist.
I pulled away and smiled,
" It is you..."
He's the only guy I've ever kissed, so it's imprinted in my memory. Which is fine by me.
He grinned half-heartedly.
Why did he look so scared?
' He's a hanyou...' I realized, my eyes widening. Is this why he was so scared? Because I might shun him like most of the populace did?
" I think I liked you better when I was blind..." I murmured, running my fingers down his cheek lovingly. He flinched and his ears drooped. My eyes widened.
" I didn't mean it like that..." I assured him, making him face me, his gold eyes sad and ashamed. This wasn't how he normally acted around me...
" You at least spoke to me then..."
I hugged him and slowly put the pieces together in my mind, as I burrowed deeper in his embrace.
" I won't reject you like she did. Because, I like you even more now."
Inuyasha backed away and stared at me, shock apparent on his face. I laughed, wanting to see how he looked when he blushed.
" You never told me you were so handsome before." I taunted winking at him.
He turned dark red.
I laughed and ran into his arms.
The surgery had worked, and he looked visibly calmer now. When we finally broke apart he actually decided to say something.
" I have a surprise for you."
Inuyasha's POV
Thank god.
My vocal cords decided to work now. She cocked her head at me, confusion and curiosity plastered to her face.
" A surprise?"
" Yeah."
I took her hand in mine, signed her out of the hospital and led her out to the parking lot. Her family had removed her belongings during the surgery I learned, and I was to bring her back.
After her surprise.
Kagome brightened as she gazed at the black and red motorbike in front of her. She ran her hand down the side of the contraption lovingly.
" Hey Tetsaiga..."
I chuckled. Kagome had become rather fond of the motorcycle for some reason. I asked her once, and she said it was because it was the first thing she rode on in five years when I took her on it. And she owed it her sanity because she had been confined in the hospital for so long.
" Wanna go for a ride?"
" Do you have to ask?" She replied, as she put on her red helmet with her name on it in black letters. It said Shikon in the back. It was her favorite legend or something. I bought it for her birthday last year.
I slid on in front, and felt her arms wrap about my waist, and pull me close as she rested her head on my back. With our helmets on, I revved up Tetsaiga.
We had this joke between us.
Shippo's favorite movie was 'Kiki's Delivery Service' for some reason. The kid watched it with Kagome all the time. Kagome's favorite part was when Kiki finally got the stupid old janitor's broom to work.
She had a good ear too, could always tell when we were about to go off.
With a slight giggle, she grinned.
" Fly." Kagome whispered and I obliged.
So off we went a hanyou, a once blind girl, and an heirloom motorcycle off to my surprise for her.
I parked the motorcycle out front a nearby club. It was fairly new and not really known yet. All the better in my opinion. This guy named Kouga owned it. We knew each other off and on. And after a while we had a sort of rival/friendship. It was okay though. As long as Kagura kept the drinks coming and Kohaku kept the bands in line, Kouga was fine.
We stepped in and a large bouncer stopped us.
" Tickets."
" Yo Manten." I said, watching his reaction as his pitch-black sunglasses slid down his nose.
" Sorry Inuyasha, didn't see you there."
" Can you see anything with those glasses at all?"
Manten grinned and was about to answer when-
" Like hell. Poor guy slammed into a wall on the way to his shift." Hiten said, his red eyes laughing at his balding younger brother.
" Hiten..." The other sibling whined, when they noticed Kagome. Who was standing star struck, her eyes glued to the stage.
" This is Kagome."
They nodded in recognition and she smiled her reverie broken.
" Hi."
" So you are the famous mystery woman we've been wondering about. Inu was partying like no tomorrow yesterday, never told us why." Hiten said, ignoring the glares I gave him.
Kagome smiled softly.
" Because, today I received my surgery results. My sight's back."
Manten and Hiten lifted up their glasses, " A toast to that!" With that, the two brothers clanked the glasses together and took a deep swig.
Kagome giggled and blushed slightly.
" Damn, how'd you nail an innocent thing like her?"
I snorted.
" Her innocent? Innocent my ass." I replied, ignoring the massive death glare and deep red blush that stained her face.
I chuckled, its not my fault she was that way during a make out session in the back of Miroku's van when I borrowed it.
" How do you put up with an ass like him?" Manten asked, smirking.
Kagome grinned evilly.
" I'll never tell..." She whispered, earning some laughs from the two brothers. Did I mention she was a total movie a holic?
Anyway, we handed the tickets to Manten and got in. Quite a good crowd was in. To be expected I suppose.
" So what's this surprise you told me about?"
" You'll see."
It was then that the curtains rose and the audience went wild.
Kagome's POV
I just stood there, staring at the stage.
He...
I just stared as they began playing.
Oh my god.
This was so...
COOL!
" I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!" I cried and hugged Inuyasha, planting a deep kiss of appreciation on his lips.
He remembered my favorite band.
I hugged him and kept kissing him.
Until he pulled back gasping for breath, a wild look in his eyes. That and shock too.
" I should give you stuff more often eh wench?" He asked breathlessly, a grin on his lips.
I punched him playfully and murmured the words along with the lead singer.
" I hope they play my favorite song..."
" That can be arranged."
With that my wonderful hanyou boy was gone and murmuring something to a tall boy with black hair tied in a ponytail. He had blue eyes and had his brows burrowed in thought. Inuyasha flashed something in his face and the boy nodded.
I think it was money…
Eh who cares.
I listened in.
So Kouga was his name….
Kouga murmured something to another boy with short brown hair in a ponytail and the boy ran up. His head popped up behind the curtains and he murmured something to the drummer. The drummer said something to the lead singer during an instrumental part and the singer nodded.
I just stood there in confusion. As the song died off the singer began to speak.
" I just got a request here. So we'll be playing " Alive" for all of you."
And so the song began, leaving me floating in Inuyasha's arms in total happiness and euphoria.
During a calmer part of the song, I stood on my tiptoes, and whispered along to the lyrics as his arms encircled my waist.
I pulled away as the song ended, and Inuyasha had a warmth in his eyes I'd never dreamed of seeing. His callused hand cupped my cheek and he kissed me on the mouth, his fangs grazing my bottom lip lightly, sending a shiver down my spine.
He pulled away and that was all I needed. I grasped his hand and we walked out of the club, the echoes of a new song behind us.
We stood in front of Tetsaiga, our hands linked together.
" Thank you..." I murmured, lifting my hand to run it through his hair.
He grinned.
" No... Thank you."
Inuyasha pulled me into a deep embrace before we boarded the motorcycle again.
" I was afraid...
When I thought you might...
Reject me...
I was afraid."
I smiled and looked into his eyes. He was NEVER this sensitive, might as well enjoy it while it lasts...
" It's okay. Once burned twice shy." I kissed his temple.
" Take me home."
Inuyasha nodded and together, we rode to the shrine, the moon rising behind us, it's holy glow illuminating the road before us.
A road I would no longer walk alone or without sight.
A road I would be able to enjoy while having my hand held.
The road of life I guess.
It sounds corny but it's true.
I hold him closer and smile warmly.
Everything was fine now.
I opened my eyes.
And I found Inuyasha.
" I love you." I murmured into his jacket, my eyes half lidded with content.
Inuyasha grinned beneath his helmet, I could tell.
" I love me too."
" YOU KILLED IT!" I cried and playfully pounded my fists on his back.
He laughed and did a wheelie, as I hung on for dear life.
That's my Inuyasha for you.
A total fantasy killer.
But that's okay.
I love him anyway.
And his motorcycle too!
