An Unexpected Guest
Chapter 8: The past forgotten and forgiven
Written by DoReMi
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. However, I made up the character of Yaku.
This is my first time writing fanfiction. Hope you will like or enjoy it! (^_^)
Souta went up the stairs and heard some noises in Kagome's room. Then he saw Yaku left her room. So he decided to check her room to see was someone in there. He opened the door a little to peek inside. He saw someone in red was lying on Kagome' bed, and then noticed that person had long black hair with human ear on his head.
"Who is that? He dresses like Inuyasha, but he look human. That must be Human Inuyasha. What is he doing in there?" Souta thought and immediately closed the door, so Inuyasha won't notice he was outside. "What should I do now? Should I call sister?"
By the time when he had finally decided to call his sister, it was already near midnight. "Maybe I should call her at tomorrow morning instead. But this is important," He thought.
So he called Kagome's home phone.
"Hello," She replied sleepily. "This better be important, because I'm very sleepy right now."
"It's me, sis," Souta said.
"Souta? What are you doing calling me at midnight? This better not be a joke, or else I'm going to come over to strangle you," Kagome said.
"Sis, this is important," He stated.
"Did something happen to Yaku?" She asked immediately.
"No, Yaku is fine and is sleeping right now," He replied.
"Okay," She said and let the breath she was hold go. "So what is so important that you need to wake me up at midnight?"
"Someone is in your room sleeping on your bed," He told her.
"That's the reason why you are calling me at midnight?" She said. "That's probably Yaku."
"That person is definitely not Yaku," He stated.
"Who is that person then?" She questioned impatiently.
"That person is Inuyasha," He told her quietly, because he didn't know how she would take it.
Kagome dropped the phone. Souta didn't hear a reply from his sister and got worried.
"Sis, are you still there?" He questioned, and the next thing he heard was a click sound because Kagome had put the phone back to its receiver.
She quickly dressed and left her apartment to get her car. She drove her car on the quiet streets to her mom's place. When she arrived, she quickly got out of the car and locked it. She ran to the house and opened the door quietly because she knew by now everyone was sleeping. Kagome noticed that Souta was sitting in the living room.
"You are here fast," He said.
"So where is he?" Kagome asked quickly.
"He should be in your room," He said.
Kagome quickly walked up the stairs quietly and her brother followed him. She stopped in front of her room.
"Go on. Go inside to talk or stay with him," He suggested and had a small smile.
"I don't know. Last time, he said he doesn't want to see me again," Kagome stated quietly.
"He probably didn't mean it," Souta said. He opened the door, pushed his sister in and quickly closed the door quietly.
Kagome noticed he was in his human form and was sleeping sideway on her bed with his back facing against the wall. "I forgot tonight is the night of the new moon," She thought. "Usually he would be awake from all those noises Souta and I made. Maybe he hadn't slept for a long time."
"I hadn't seen him sleep so peacefully for such a long time," She thought with a smile.
"I'm truly sorry for all the pain I cause you," Kagome thought sadly and a tear slid down her face. She quickly wiped it away and sat on the floor beside her bed.
All she wanted to do right now was to touch Inuyasha's cheek with her hand, but she was afraid he would wake up and leave, so all she did was stare at him. Sleepiness started to over take her mind, so she laid her head on her left arm that was on the bed. Then she put her right arm and hand on the bed and fell asleep.
Inuyasha unconsciously reached out to hold Kagome's right hand with his left hand. Both of them fell asleep with a smile on their face.
At the next early morning.
Yaku came into the room to check on Inuyasha to see was he still there in his mom's room. Instead of only seeing Inuyasha in the room, he saw his mom sitting beside the bed close to him and both of them were sleeping. He also noticed that Inuyasha had changed back into his Hanyou form, so he decided not to bother them and left the room silently. He went down the stairs to the living room, and was greeted by his grandmother and his great-grandfather.
An hour later, Inuyasha started to wake up. He felt his left hand was holding someone's hand, and took a deep breath to smell the scent of the person beside him. That scent belonged to the owner of this room, and he opened his eyes to see was that really who he thought that was.
"She really is beside me. Is this a dream?" He thought silently.
He tried to reach his hand out to touch her, however he was scared that this was all a dream and Kagome would disappear if he reached out to touch her. So he held back for a few second but he had finally decided to risk his chance so he would know is she real.
His right hand reached out to touch her cheek. He could feel her warm, soft and smooth skin under in his hand, know she is real and this was not a dream. He saw a smile on her face, and she was snuggling into his hand. After seeing that, he also had a smile on his face.
In her dream, She had her eyes closed and Inuyasha was caressing her cheek with his hand. She felt warmth from his hand and thought, "Dream can't be this real. So she opened her eyes, but she was not ready for the sight in front of her.
Amber eyes were staring at grayish blue eyes, and both of them had a smile on their face. Inuyasha sat up on her bed, and Kagome moved to sit on it as well. They continued to stare at each other longer, until she used her left hand to reach out and touch his cheek. He closed his eyes and snuggled into her warm hand.
Kagome couldn't believe this is real. She took her hand away from his cheek and put it on his shoulder. Inuyasha opened his eyes and wondered what made her stop. Before he could blink his eyes, Kagome had moved closed to him and hugged him closely. For a short moment, he didn't know what he should do. After his daze, he returned her hug and closed his eyes to cherish this moment. His doggy ear moved toward the sound that was coming out from her. He moved a little apart and saw she was crying.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He said softly and wiped her tears away with the sleeve of his haori.
Kagome shook her head negatively and asked, "You are not mad at me?"
"Not anymore," Inuyasha replied and smiled softly at her.
She hugged him again, and said, "Thank you!"
"I never can get mad at you for a long time. Will you forgive me for being so stubborn and let my pride get me?" He asked and rested his head on her shoulder.
"You don't even need to ask," She replied with a smile and also rested her head on his shoulder.
Inuyasha sat on the bed with his back against the wall and Kagome partially lying against him with her back against his chest. His arms entwined around Kagome holding her in place in fear she would disappear. His hands held hers and started to play with her knuckles. They stayed in that position for a while, until one of them started to speak.
"Can you tell me why did you leave me in the first place?" Inuyasha asked softly.
She nodded positively in reply, and gazed toward the scenery outside the window. Birds were chirping. Some were flying around, some were standing on a branch of the Goshinoboku, and others were standing on the gate of the shrine. The gentle breeze blew lightly against the tree, along with the sun shone quietly against the earth.
"Did it has anything to do with what happen on that day almost five years ago?" Inuyasha asked, also gazed toward outside and wondered what was so fascinating that had caught her interest.
"Yes," She responded quietly and a trace of sorrow was in her eyes.
