Kagome woke from her unconscious state with a start.
She sat up and panted breathlessly for a minute before her senses came
back to her. InuYasha was by her side in an instant. He looked
at her with worry evident in his golden gaze. Her sapphire orbs looked
back at him in question of his rare concern. Her attention was drawn
to the other occupant of the room when she heard his small cough.
Xavier remained in the room with InuYasha after
he had been told all about Kagome and her trips to the past, where she
met InuYasha. To say he was shocked was putting it mildly.
He now regarded Kagome, calmly.
"Kagome, he knows.
About everything," InuYasha said.
Kagome gasped and looked again to the professor. He nodded in
acknowledgment and she sighed.
"So now what happens?" she
asks.
"Nothing. I've decided
that there is no need to tell the students about InuYasha or your trips
to the past. But it will be necessary to tell Logan and Ororo."
"Let me tell Logan," InuYasha
volunteered, "It'll be better if he hears it from me."
"Agreed," Xavier nods, "Kagome,
someone far away was trying to communicate with you in a form of telepathy
I've yet to encounter. It came to you in the form of a vision, one
that I would like to talk to you more about. I may be able to help
you to decipher it."
"Sure," she replies with
a small smile, "I'm sorry we kept this from you."
"It's all right. I
understand, Kagome."
InuYasha left Kagome with the Professor and walked
out of the medical bay. Taking the elevator upstairs, he followed
his nose soon found himself at the danger room. He pressed a clawed
finger to the keypad and the doors slid open. He walked in to see
Logan in the middle of a training exercise. Thinking nothing of it,
he further entered the room, only to be considered another target for the
simulation. He soon found himself dodging lasers and projectiles.
"What the hell?!" he snarled
as he was knocked down by a large robotic arm, "That's it! Iron Reamer
Soul Stealer!!"
InuYasha let loose his attack that destroyed a good portion of the
laser guns and robotic arms on his side of the danger room. Logan,
who had been paying attention only to his own exercises, found himself
being impressed by the kid's ability and attack. He smirked and voiced
a command to shut down the simulation. InuYasha's angry gold eyes
burned into him. Logan shook his head and walked over to him.
"What are ya doin' here,
kid? You haven't received the proper training to be in this room
yet."
"Feh! Look, I just
came to talk to you. Xavier agreed I should tell you before you found
out on your own."
"Oh? Tell me what?"
"Not here. Somewhere
where no one else can hear. I'll meet you in the forest in 20 minutes.
It'll give you time to take a shower. You reek!"
Logan growled low as InuYasha left the danger room.
That boy knew just how to get under his skin. But, then, it was only
fair considering he could do the same to him. He found himself pondering
their relationship. He shook his head. InuYasha was like the
nephew he never had, nor wanted to have. He chuckled and headed to
the showers, he really did stink.
Kagome had her eyes closed and was laying back on
the bed. Xavier stood at her head with his eyes shut closed in concentration.
In the space of Kagome's mind, both were replaying the vision that had
been sent to Kagome. When the face of the adversary was shown, Xavier
gasped.
"Apocalypse," he
whispered, "This is very serious."
"You recognize him?"
"Only from drawings I've
seen of the legend. One of our adversaries, Mesmero, is on a quest
to release him from his imprisonment. He has already managed to unlocked
the first two doors. We were unable to stop him."
"Doors?"
"Yes. There are certain
artifacts that act as keys to the doors that keep him imprisoned.
The first was a set of three rings on a rod that acted as a physical key.
The next was a large spider guardian, that once defeated, allowed the second
door to open. We have yet to find the third."
"Wow," Kagome whispered,
"So how can you stop him?"
"As long as we remain united
and try our hardest, I am certain that we can stop him from escaping.
However, should the final keys be uncovered, I fear all will be doomed.
And from what we have seen of your vision, it is only a matter of time
before Apocalypse is released."
Kagome's eyes opened in unison with his and they
resumed their conversation in the physical world.
"How old are the artifacts?"
she asks.
"Certainly you aren't thinking...."
"Yes. I can help!
You know I can travel through time to Feudal Japan. There has to
be a way for me to find one of the ring artifacts in that time and destroy
it."
"While that is a noble thought,
you would be interfering with the flow of time. There's no telling
what the consequences could be."
"In case you didn't notice,
I'm already messing with the flow of time," she replied with a small smile.
InuYasha sat in a tree, waiting for Logan.
He smelled him before he saw him and leapt out of the tree to land in front
of Logan. Logan reacted as expected, his claws extended and he stood
ready. InuYasha smirked and flexed his own claws at the older man.
Logan relaxed and retracted his claws.
"It's just you," he said
with a hint of relief.
Logan still couldn't get over how easily InuYasha eluded his senses.
"Feh! Look what I'm
going to tell you may sound strange, but it's the truth. So don't
interrupt and don't question! Got it?!"
"You tryin' to tell me what
to do, bub?"
InuYasha raised a brow and scoffed at him.
"I'm a demon," he said.
"Wha-?"
"I'm a demon. I come
from Feudal Japan. Kagome brought me here through an enchanted well
that's on her shrine."
"You've got to be kidding
me," Logan sighed, thinking InuYasha was trying to pull his leg.
"I'm serious. Have
you ever heard of the Shikkon jewel?"
"The Jewel of Four Souls?
Don't tell me you think you're that InuYasha?!"
"Is your brain broken or
something?! Can't you sense that I'm different from everyone else
here?! Look, humans have their own scent, mutants have their own
sub scent, and demons have a unique scent. Think about it!"
"Grr... Always thought
you smelt funny," Logan smirked.
"What?! You..."
"Prove it. According
to the legend InuYasha had a sword called the Tetsusaiga. Show me
the sword and how it transforms and I'll believe you."
InuYasha growled, but relented. He beckoned Logan with a finger,
and the two walked back to the mansion to InuYasha's room.
Kagome was in her room after her talk with the Professor.
He was reluctant to allow Kagome to change the timeline so radically.
However, he agreed to keep it in thought as a last measure. Kagome
took off her shoes and lay on the bed. She heard InuYasha's door
open and close. She walked to the joining door and stepped in.
"Hey, InuYasha. Hi,
Logan-san!" she greeted in Japanese.
"Kagome, what did I say
about speaking in Japanese?"
"I can't speak it until
I go back home," she sighed in English.
"Feh! Stupid wench,"
InuYasha muttered in Japanese.
"Same goes for you, InuYasha,"
Logan said, gruffly.
"Feh! Look do you
wanna see this or not?"
"Yeah, yeah. Go ahead,"
Logan smirked, "Hey, Kagome, your boyfriend thinks he's the InuYasha from
the legend of the Shikkon jewel!"
Kagome sweat dropped and laughed nervously.
"She's NOT my girlfriend!"
InuYasha said hotly with a blush on his face as he pulled out the Tetsusaiga
from beneath his bed.
Logan raised a brow at the rusty katana and scoffed.
"That thing is the...,"
he never got to finish.
InuYasha raised the sword and it transformed into the large fang, startling
Logan. InuYasha smirked as he realized that somehow Logan had ended
up sitting on the floor. Kagome stifled a giggle at their teacher's
awestruck look. Logan managed to snap himself out of it and stood
up.
"Alright, I believe you.
So what are you doing here?" he asked.
"That's a long story," Kagome
replied.
It was only 3 more months later and Kagome was already
mastering her control over weather under Storm's tutelage. Her seismic
control still had a few kinks to work out, but she had befriended Lance
at Bayville High and he was helping her, much to InuYasha's disgruntlement.
InuYasha shuddered as he looked upon her visage while she used her powers.
In order to control them, Kagome had to shut off almost all emotion.
And with her being Kikyo's reincarnation, it was like looking right at
Kikyo. That dead look didn't belong on Kagome's face, but he knew
it was necessary for her to remain in control. InuYasha had also
managed to get in valuable training with Logan. He was becoming fond
of the danger room and was found there on most days. But for today,
he was watching Kagome's training.
More and more, InuYasha found himself mesmerized
by her surreal beauty as she used her powers to lift herself in the air
within a cyclone. Her eyes glowed a brilliant silver and her hair
floated behind her, embraced in electricity. He was brought out of
his musings when he smelled Scott's approach. He growled low.
He didn't have a particular liking for that pansy.
"Hey, InuYasha! Kagome's
getting pretty good huh? She's almost as powerful as Storm now,"
Scott said, conversationally.
"Feh! Kagome will
be even more powerful once she's done. I have no doubt."
"Oh? Well, hey, listen!
Jean and I are going to a club down town. Would you and Kagome like
to come with us?"
"We'd love to!" Kagome said
from beside them, having finished her training for the day and snuck up
on the two.
Scott jumped and InuYasha smirked at him. He'd actually not been
surprised, considering his sense of smell. But he was a bit on the
irate side when he heard Kagome's answer.
"What?! But, Kagome..."
"Come on, InuYasha!
We haven't had a chance to taste America fully yet! I mean sure we've
gone to school..."
"Which I think is a waste
of time," InuYasha interrupted.
"And we've been here at
the mansion," she continued, "But we haven't really gone out!"
"It's settled then," Scott
stepped in, "We'll be leaving tonight at 7 sharp. See you two later!"
InuYasha growled as Scott left.
"Kagome! Don't you
remember what tonight is?!" he asked.
"Oh! But I already
told Scott yes. Well, maybe we can just go for a couple hours and
then come back? Night fall isn't until 9!"
"No way! No one here
has seen me as a human yet. It'll raise too many questions, and already
more people than I would like know about us."
"Come on, please?!
I promise! We'll leave before nightfall!"
Kagome looked up at him giving him the full puppy dog eye effect.
InuYasha's eyes softened, but he steeled himself to resist. Finally,
Kagome pulled out the big guns as taught to her by Kitty. She pouted
her lip out and widened her eyes and changed her voice to a chibi impression.
"Pwetty pwease, Inu-kun?"
InuYasha practically melted inside, however, his outward appearance
showed only annoyance as he gave in. Kagome jumped up in joy and
grabbed his hand, tugging him inside. InuYasha followed with a light
blush on his cheeks.
At exactly 7pm, Kagome and InuYasha were at the
lobby of the mansion. Scott and Jean arrived shortly after them an
all four got into Scott's red and white convertible. Kagome and InuYasha
sat in the back together and InuYasha found himself looking at Kagome from
the corner of his eye. She was radiant and looked absolutely breathtaking.
She had decided to wear a red halter dress that she had bought while shopping
with Kitty and Jean. InuYasha was wearing a pair of regular, but
new, black jeans a red shirt and showed off his muscles with matching bandanna.
This also had Kagome checking him out.
Kagome blushed prettily as she and InuYasha locked
gazes when both decided to look at each other at the same time. InuYasha
also blushed a bit. In the front of the convertible, Jean smiled
and spoke to Scott telepathically.
"They're too cute together!"
They arrived at the club within a few minutes and Scott left the car
with a valet. They all entered the club and went their separate ways.
Scott and Jean to the dance floor and InuYasha and Kagome to a table.
"Come on, InuYasha, dance
with me?"
"No way. I don't dance."
"Afraid?" she challenged.
"Keh! I'm not afraid
of anything!"
"Then dance with me!"
"Fine! But don't blame
me if we get laughed off the floor!"
Kagome led him to the dance floor by the hand as
a fast song came on. The couple around them started to dance in suggestive
ways and InuYasha found himself blushing and wondering what the hell those
people were doing in public.
"Kagome, what the hell is
going on here?! It looks like a mating frenzy!!" he said shocked.
"It's just the kind of dancing
they do here, InuYasha. Just go with the flow!" Kagome urged, as
she started to dance.
InuYasha caught a glimpse of Scott dancing with Jean. Scott turned
to InuYasha and smirked in a challenge. InuYasha growled and started
to dance with Kagome, picking up moves by copying others around him.
Eventually, he grabbed a hold of Kagome's hips like
he saw another guy doing to his girl. Kagome was a little shocked
but continued dancing with InuYasha. As the dance progressed, InuYasha
realized the folly of his decision. Kagome was constantly rubbing
up against a certain part of his anatomy and it was driving him insane.
Kagome, meanwhile, was finding herself in a similar situation. She
could very much feel her effect on InuYasha each time she brushed up against
him, but his hold on her hips wouldn't let her get the much needed space
and she didn't want to cause a scene. She shivered as she felt InuYasha
lay his forehead on her shoulder. His breath caressed her back and
she gasped lightly.
"What's happening?" she
thought in alarm, "Is...is this really happening? Out here, on a
dance floor?"
"I should stop, but I can't.
Oh kami, Kagome is making me feel so incredibly good right now," InuYasha
thought to himself as he hands continued to hold Kagome's hips close.
The song ended soon and Kagome and InuYasha quickly
walked to their table to catch their breath. Both of their faces
were flushed and neither could look at the other without their blushes
increasing. InuYasha was the first to look up. Kagome met his
gaze and they stayed that way for a while. Neither was willing to
turn away their eyes. Almost as if there was a magnetic pull, the
space between them lessened until they were but a breath away from each
other.
Kagome's breath caressed InuYasha's lips softly;
and suddenly, he could take no more. The overwhelming urge to taste
her and hold her in his arms won. His lips descended on hers and
Kagome's eyes shut closed in bliss. InuYasha's eyes remained opened,
reveling in both the feel of her lips and the looks of pleasure on her
face. His arms wrapped around her waist as hers wrapped around his
neck. He gently traced the inner rim of her lips with the tip of
his tongue and Kagome allowed him to taste her fully.
The pair was interrupted as they heard a light cough
from beside them. Scott and Jean had found them and sat next to them.
"So. You two looked
like you were having a little fun," Scott joked, "Might have to tell the
Professor to move you into different rooms."
"Scott! Stop teasing!"
Jean laughed.
InuYasha's face reddened in a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
"Just try it, one eye!"
he snarled.
"Whoa! Calm down!
I was just joking," Scott said with his hands up.
"Boys," Jean sighed, "Hey,
Kagome, come with me to the bathroom?"
"Sure."
When the girls where gone, Scott turned back to InuYasha and tried
to make peace with some light conversation.
"What is it with girls going
to the bathroom in pairs, huh?"
"Feh!"
"Uh...yeah," Scott said,
uncomfortably.
The night wore on and the couples lost track of
time. It wasn't until InuYasha's eyes snapped open wide and he dragged
Kagome outside that the two realized how late it was. InuYasha dragged
Kagome into an alley as his silver hair became black, his ears drifted
down and became human, and his eyes darkened from gold to a deep, almost
purple, black.
"I'm sorry, InuYasha!
I completely lost track of the time," Kagome apologized.
"Feh! I told you this
might happen, wench!" he snapped.
Kagome looked down, sadly. InuYasha sighed and placed a finger
beneath her chin to force her to look at him.
"I'm sorry. I should
have been paying attention to the time as well. It's just as much
my fault as it is yours, okay?"
"Thanks, InuYasha," she
whispered.
"There you are!" Jean said,
from the mouth the alley, "We've been looking all over for you two.
Scott said you..."
Jean stopped as she beheld the transformed InuYasha. He looked
very different, but still, you could tell it was him.
"What happened?!" she asked,
shocked.
"Hey, Jean! I...whoa!
InuYasha?!"
"Shit!" InuYasha cursed.
