Chapter 3- Hidden
'You didn't report me.'
Kagome jumped, startled by the suddenness of his speech. Realizing too late that he had seen her startled movement, she found herself blushing. His voice wasn't as deep as she had imagined it to be, but Kagome had sensed hints of hidden maturity beneath its surface.
'No,' she replied, even though she knew it was more of a statement than a question.
He knew perfectly well what he had done the night before.
There was no 'why didn't you report me', instead, he began to move his hand towards the sphere, stopping only a few centimeters above the jewel. 'You.. read this?'
That had also been a statement, Kagome realized, turning away to avoid his eyes. People knew of her psychic abilities, her ability to read the past and glimpse the future through an object. She knew she had intruded his past and he too.. knew it.
'I'm sorry,' she told him. She was truly sorry, but anger had welled up at the same time. Why does she like some thief that had broken in someone's house? Why does she feel guilty when he was the one that attacked her?
'I see,' Inuyasha said tiredly and withdrew his gaze. He rose slowly and exited from the room saying nothing more.
Kagome stood stunned, unable to keep her eyes from his turned back. She wanted to say his name, to stop him from walking away.. but why couldn't she..?
*~*~*~*
'YOU PERVERT!'
A piercing scream, followed by an equally loud slap echoed the empty school grounds. Some people never learn.
Kagome eyed the couple wearily and shifted her heavy bag into a more comfortable position. She would like to have told Sango that she and Miroku made a nice couple, but didn't think the result would be very pleasant.
'YOU..'
Sango now had Miroku backed into a wall and was busily strangling him.
Kagome felt the mark by her throat again, he had beautiful golden eyes.. but they never lit up and she had never seen him smile since the day he came to her school. It was a mask, Kagome knew, she had seen him, the true him beneath the jewel, the image that made her shudder.
What are you trying to hide.. Inuyasha?
Little did she know, the same pair of golden eyes watched her, hidden by the shadows.
*~*~*~*
How much does she know? His golden eyes followed her every step, every turn, watching her cheerful features glowed under the setting sun, so full of life..
But he had almost ended that life.. with his own hands.
What was he thinking?
He wasn't.
He wasn't thinking at all, not at that moment, not as he pushed her against the wall, not as he tightened his grip around her throat. He couldn't stop him self.. in his eyes, she was not Kagome Higurashi at that very moment, she was HER.
Why didn't Kagome report him? He thought as he tightened his grip around the scarlet jewel. What did she see beneath your cold surface.. Shikon no tama?
*~*~*~*
End of Chapter 3 - Hidden
AN: yup! Shikon was the jewel, but it's not THE shikon no tama.
Caitlin6767, you were right for guessing the jewel! For your question, Inu and Sess both look human in this fic, no dog ears ect (aww, I know). But their eyes and hair have the same colour as the anime, i.e. Inu has silver hair and golden eyes through out the fic. About the question for whether Inu and Sess are bothers.. you'll have to find out.
lindy*girl and serendy4evr: I like the idea of the soul keeping jewel (part of the soul)! I'll be putting it in my..* twisted * plot.
