Valentine
Chocolate
Kagome hummed happily as she traveled the short distance to the well. In her
backpack resided some holiday treats and she smiled. Though she wasn't the
biggest fan of Valentine's Day (her never having a sweetheart to hang out with)
she figured she could use this as an excuse to give her friends pink, frilly
gifts. She giggled at the image of her feudal ear friends trying to process the
fact that the valentines were supposed to be pink, red and white with lace and
hearts littering the pathetic piece of paper.
Slinging her knapsack higher onto her back, Kagome lightly jumped into the
well, being met with the familiar glow of blue light. With a smile she pulled
her self out of the well, climbing up on a large vine that had served her as a mock
ladder many times. As she emerged from the well, she smiled at the scene before
her. There was something about this age that made her really love nature.
Butterflies fluttered by and the sun seeped through the leaves of large trees.
Her feet touched down onto the soft green grass and she smiled.
A large 'Feh' emerged from the forest and her smile widened as the figure of
her affections appeared from within the tree line. The silver haired hot head
scowled a greeting as his bare feet traveled their way towards her solitary
figure. As he approached, the wind whipped his beautiful silver hair and the
long sleeves of his haori to the side, drawing attention to his blazing golden
eyes. He seemed to be a god, a powerful, untouchable god who could steal a girl's
heart as quickly as he could steal ramen into his mouth.
Kagome was about to greet him when the inu hanyou boy beat her to it. "What the
hell took you so long, wench?"
Kagome rolled her eyes and her smiled wavered slightly, yet the evident smile
of a goddess still graced her face and she giggled. "Hello to you too, Inu
yasha."
Slightly thrown off by the remarkably good mood the schoolgirl was in, Inu
yasha stared at her closely, determining to himself that she was sick or had
bumped her head with her backpack.
"Answer me," he growled and crossed his arms into the insides of his haori
sleeves in annoyance.
Kagome smiled and set down her backpack, sitting down in the soft grass,
allowing the small green plants to tickle her bare legs. She smiled at him and
patted the ground next to her. Taking the hint, the hanyou sat him self
grumpily next to her, his arms remained crossed. He sent her a glare, annoyed
that she wasn't answering his question.
"I'm sorry, Inu yasha," she said with a smile, she didn't really mean the
apology and they both knew it. After all, she was only a little bit late, it
was barely enough to make a big deal out of and Kagome's sickeningly good mood
was slightly rubbing off on the hanyou.
With a quirked smile, Kagome opened her yellow bag and began digging around.
The golden-eyed boy looked over the schoolgirl's shoulder, trying to determine
what she was doing and why she still refused to answer his question.
With a smile, she drew out a small bag from the bag, confusing the hanyou. She
looked at him, her blue eyes shinning happily as she showed a large lollipop to
the bemused puppy. "I got you all Valentine treats," she smiled, "You remember
Valentine's Day, I explained it earlier, remember?"
At the hanyou's nod, Kagome grinned and began digging around the bag. "That was
for Shippou. And this is for Miroku and Sango!" She happily held up two large
boxes, both wrapped in pink paper and a large red and white bow residing on
top, drawing its attention to the bright and conspicuous looking thing. The
hanyou raised an eyebrow and Kagome smiled at his expression. "Its chocolate."
The hanyou smirked and nodded, aware of what the candy she spoke of was. She
had often teased him for being a dog and how dogs can't eat chocolate without
getting sick. It annoyed him and there had been many occasions when he'd had
cravings for the sweet smelling treat.
"This is for Kaede-Bachan," Kagome said with a smile and held up a pink candle
with sparkles shimmering off it. "I know it's not much, but I don't think her
having candy would be wise, considering her age."
"Shippou's older than her," Inu yasha said with a shrug.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Yes, but Shippou isn't a 'weak old human' as you so
frequently point out," she smirked at the hanyou's stricken expression.
"Feh!" Inu yasha declared for lack of anything better to say.
Kagome giggled and leaned back against the woodwork of the ancient well. The
grain of the wood rubbed against the back of her neck and she sighed, packing
the gifts away.
She looked back at Inu yasha and raised an eyebrow at his sad face. "What is
it?"
The hanyou scowled and said nothing, turning away from her. At once, Kagome
knew what was wrong. She had forgotten to give him her gift. She grinned and
lightly tapped his shoulder. "Of course I saved the best present for last!"
Inu yasha's adorable dog-ears twitched towards her and he turned his face
slightly towards her. Kagome smiled as she felt a molten gold eye peering at
her through heavy lashes.
Digging into her bag, she pulled out a stuffed white puppy, its large red eyes
staring upwards in a puppy dog expression. A small pink bow was tied around its
neck and it held a large red heart in its mouth. He stared at it for a moment
before looking at her in confusion.
"It's a stuffed animal," Kagome blushed, "Its used for comfort in small
children." The hanyou glared at her and she giggled. "Not saying you're a
little child or anything. In my time, we give it to our friends to show we
care."
"I don't need comfort from fabric, Kagome," he said and Kagome felt slightly
hurt. He smiled at her and snorted. "But...thanks." She grinned and nodded,
closing her eyes. With the eyes safely closed, Inu yasha tucked the small
animal into his haori, adding it to his collection of mementos that Kagome had
given him over the course of a year. The small animal tucked itself deep into
the folds of his kimono, residing next to a picture of him self and Kagome, a
withered and almost dead flower, and a sock. He'd never told her that he'd
stolen the sock, it just gave him a small comfort, and some things were best
left unsaid.
Kagome dug into her pack, after opening her eyes, and pulled out a box full of
Godiva chocolate. The small pink box opened to reveal all kinds of chocolate
that Kagome loved. Pure milk chocolate, caramel filled, raspberry filled, white
chocolate, and much more. Inu yasha peered at her as the sweet scent of
chocolate filled the air. He blinked and stared at it, his mouth watering.
Kagome noticed the hanyou's look and turned away from him. "Not for you,
puppy."
Inu yasha frowned in annoyance and leaned forward some more, "Why not?"
"You'll get sick," she stated simply and placed a chocolate into her mouth,
chewing the small square shape until the brown sweet melted into her hungry
mouth. "And I don't want that. Besides, these chocolates are mine."
"But I want some," Inu yasha demanded with a scowl, him leaning forward more.
"No," Kagome said simply.
His scowl deepened and he reached for the box, "Give me some."
"No," Kagome grinned and leaned away from him, popping a white chocolate into
her mouth. The hanyou growled and reached his clawed hand out for the box. She
pulled it away with a grin and kicked the boy off her stomach, allowing her to
swallow the delicious candy. She grinned, "Mmm, that was so good!" She teased
the hanyou, causing the said boy to growl.
"Come on, Kagome, don't be cruel," he whimpered, giving her a pout, and his
ears drooping.
"Let me think about it," the hanyou brightened. "No," his scowl returned tenfold
and she screeched in surprise when he tackled her to the ground, his hand
holding down one of her wrists, while the other reached for the last chocolate.
Kagome giggled and dropped the box and picked up the chocolate. She held it
threateningly to her lips and pretended to prepare to put it in her mouth. Inu
yasha's eyes narrowed, "You wouldn't."
"Oh, I would," Kagome giggled and waved the chocolate around. "Its so good,
too, I think I'm going to savor this one for a while. Pure milk chocolate
melting in my mouth, yum, yum, yum." She smirked and opened her mouth.
Inu yasha growled as she popped the chocolate into her mouth.
He smirked and his golden eyes flashed. "That's my chocolate, Kagome," he
growled and Kagome smirked.
What happened next surprised Kagome and she nearly died of shock. Because at
that moment, Inu yasha dipped his head down and captured her lips with his own.
She opened her mouth in a gasp and his tongue swept in, capturing her further
into a deep and passionate kiss. She moaned and closed her eyes. When she was
about to respond, the hanyou pulled away, a victorious grin on his face.
Only when he started chewing did she realize what he did. Her face burned
bright red in embarrassment and anger as she glared up at the hanyou. "You!"
The hanyou smirked and jumped off Kagome running away, the chocolate in his
mouth, having stolen it in her time of shock.
"Get back here so I can 's' you into oblivion," Kagome snapped as she
chased the boy. He smirked and blew a kiss at her, causing her to falter and
stutter. With a chuckle he began to run.
Kagome's eyes widened in surprise, she'd never seen Inu yasha laugh before, but
here he was having a grand old time tormenting her and not afraid of rejection
or being sat. Well, he would be in a moment, until then, Kagome relished in the
feel of Inu yasha's laughter carrying on the wind, soon mingling with her own.
Inu yasha smirked as he ran from the blushing schoolgirl. As he swallowed the
chocolate he was lost in his thoughts. 'The chocolate tastes ok,' he
mused, 'but you taste better, Kagome.' He smirked and laughed as Kagome
tackled him from behind. The two rolled in the grass laughing like the world
wasn't watching.
