I'm alive! Its just been so hectic in life lately, that I wasn't able to
type this out and post it. But here it is! The long awaited chapter of
Skirting Around the Subject.
*crickets chirping*
That was supposed to be applause. Well anyways, for those of you who are still reading this, here's the chapter with Inu Yasha and Kagome.
Previously, in Chapter 7 in Skirting Around the Subject:
At the sound of that, Kagome stopped squirming and remained still underneath him. She looked into his eyes and saw something that she had never seen in him, lust. Of course, she knew what that meant; the girls in school would talk sometimes. Yet, she was startled because he was staring at her and only her with that look in his eyes.
Chapter 9 - Stuck on You
Her eyes were glued to his face. Those eyes were so penetrating it sent shivers down her spine. She wanted to tear her eyes away from his, but couldn't. It was as if he could see into her soul at that moment. It was so intense that she couldn't take it anymore. She quickly closed the gap between them and kissed him fiercely.
'Even if he doesn't care, I've wanted this since I realized that I am in love with him.' She thought to herself.
What surprised her even more was that he was kissing back. But it felt good to actually have him respond to her. Unbeknownst to her, he was actually thinking along the same lines, so they met halfway. When Inu Yasha saw the look in her eyes, he could not control himself anymore. He launched his face towards her hungrily. He didn't see lust, but what looked more like a love that could be unconditional no matter who or what he became. He wasn't sure if it was true or not, but he could not let her go before he got an answer. He was also shocked that she was kissing him back.
It took a minute or so before the two were able to pull away from each other. They could only stare into each other's eyes. Inu Yasha's lust was replaced with love and compassion, and Kagome's love showed even stronger. Unconsciously, Inu Yasha started to comb his fingers through her hair.
They would have stayed like that for forever if Inu Yasha's ears had not picked up the front door opening up.
'Damn' swore Inu Yasha under his breath. Kagome looked at him curiously as he picked himself up off of her. Then, he held out his hand to help her up. Kagome accepted his hand and got up off of the floor, still wondering what was going on. Then she heard the door slam shut and the next thing they knew, Souta was standing in the doorway looking at the two of them. He looked at both of them, and then saw that Inu Yasha was holding Kagome's hand out in front of him.
"Yeesh! Sorry I interrupted! But could you just not do that! It's so gross!" Souta said.
Both Inu Yasha and Kagome were confused and then moved their eyes to where their hands were still connected. Both jumped away from each other as Kagome's mother walked into the room. Both looked away and were as red as tomatoes.
"Oh you two are home! How wonderful! Will Inu Yasha be staying for dinner today? If he wants I can cook Ramen." Said Kagome's mother.
At the sound of the word Ramen, Inu Yasha's ears perked up and had a big smile on his face. "Ramen?!"
"Hmph! Leave it to him to be all excited over Ramen." Said Kagome. 'Seems like he completely forgot about what happened just a minute ago.' With that in mind, she walked to the stairs and went up to her room. She closed the door and fell onto her bed. What she didn't realize that Inu Yasha did notice her leave of absence and decided to follow her. But before he could, Kagome's mother had something to say.
"Inu Yasha, I know that you and Kagome have developed a closer bond to each other since you two have been looking for these jewel shards. Can I ask you.are you in love with her? It seems as though you two are by the way you act around each other." To say Inu Yasha was slightly taken aback by her forwardness would not do his reaction any justice. He fell flat out onto the floor anime style. It was equivalent to having Kagome 'sit' him a million times.
"Errr.umm.uhhh.why would you ask that?!" He said now being defensive. "Now, now.no need to be so defensive. I know you care about her greatly, I was just wondering if you love her. But, guessing by your reaction, you haven't figured that out yet. Well forget I asked!" She said. "Oh! Could you please tell Kagome that dinner will be ready in a half an hour?"
With that, Kagome's mother walked out of the kitchen to finish preparing dinner. Inu Yasha stood there dumbfounded trying to process what she had just said to him. Then, he remembered that he was supposed to tell Kagome that dinner would be ready in a half an hour. He proceeded to go up the stairs and fell short when he saw that Kagome's door was closed. He softly knocked on the door and let her name pass by his lips.
"Hmmm?" was all Kagome could comprehend at the moment. She had dosed off into a twilight sleep for a little while. Slowly the door opened as Kagome lifted her head to see who it was. It was Inu Yasha. At first she might have thought that she was dreaming, so she flopped her head back down on her bed and proceeded to close her eyes again. He walked over and crouched next to her bed, their face a foot apart. Inu Yasha took one of his fingers and poked the side of her stomach. That erupted a slight jolt and a giggle. In a flash, Kagome was sitting halfway up on the bed staring down at Inu Yasha.
"Stop that!" She giggled. "You know I'm ticklish."
A smirk played across Inu Yasha's face when she said that. A flashback played in his head of when she was laughing when he tickled her not that long ago. He liked it when she laughed like that, especially if it was just for him. He looked at her again as she put her hand in front of her mouth as she let out a big yawn. Then she flopped back down to his eye level. Their faces were a mere foot apart again.
"I'm tired."
"Feh.a long day of tickling got you worn out? Feh.humans."
Kagome tried to look mad at him, but just couldn't. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Then Kagome's eyes drifted away from his and her face turned serious. She was thinking about what she had said to him back in Feudal Japan. Now, she thought more than ever that she should apologize to him. She looked back at him, more serious than before.
"Inu Yasha, I'm sorry for what I said before. You didn't deserve those harsh words."
"Huh? Feh.you should wench." Said Inu Yasha.
Now, if Inu Yasha had just accepted the apology and not have been arrogant, she would not have become upset at him.
"Nani?!" I just apologized and this is what you say?! You are such a jerk sometimes!" Kagome pushed up on her arms on the bed so she was just above Inu Yasha as she was screaming. Just as before, she kept pushing her face towards his so their noses were practically connected. If it weren't for the angle, they would be kissing and screaming as before.
Kagome's hand slipped off the edge of the bed and she went tumbling into Inu Yasha, knocking them both on the floor. Their foreheads collided as Inu Yasha's body hit the floor.
"Oooow. That kind of hurt." Kagome said as she picked up her hand and rubbed her forehead.
"Nice going. Can't you do anything right?" Was all Inu Yasha said. Unfortunately, their necklaces tangled together when they fell. When Kagome tried to pull up a little, her necklace tugged on Inu Yasha's and was trying to pull Inu Yasha up with her. Once she realized what had happened, she stopped trying to pull up. Instead she settled back down closer to Inu Yasha's neck. She let out a sigh. "Now we're stuck. Unless we can untangle the necklaces." Every breath that ran across Inu Yasha's neck sent shivers down his spine.
"How are we supposed to get free?" Asked Inu Yasha.
"Well it won't be that easy considering I can barely see our necklaces. But I think we can try and work it out if we sit up."
"Fine."
Inu Yasha began to sit up pushing Kagome up as well. Unconsciously, Kagome's spread her legs farther towards the floor until her knees touched when they sat up. From a distant sight, Kagome was straddling Inu Yasha's hips and they looked as though they were about to kiss. Once both of them realized the compromising position that had just been made, both began to blush.
"Well lets see what we have." Kagome picked up the two necklaces and started to fumble with them. At that angle, Inu Yasha was able to rest his head on top of hers while she tried to undo the mess. He breathed in her scent and let out a sigh. Kagome heard this and it sent shivers down her spine, but kept on trying to untangle the necklaces. In a few minutes, she was able to untangle them both. She let both necklaces drop back into place and turned her head upwards to Inu Yasha's.
She smiled and said, "All done." Even though, the necklaces were untangled, neither of them wanted to move from the current position. In a bold move, Inu Yasha closed his arms around Kagome and brought her to his chest. She willingly came and rested her head against his shoulder. Inu Yasha let out a small chuckle that Kagome couldn't help but notice. "What?" said Kagome. "I was sent up here to tell you that supper would be ready in a half an hour." "Okay then." After that reply, she snuggled even closer to Inu Yasha and he leaned more against Kagome's bed. The two sat in a peaceful silence. Both were content with just being able to be this way with one another for the first time. The silence that filled the room whispered all of the emotions running through each of them.
Okay I know this took longer than expected! Gomen!!!!! After the car accident, I was shook up and since then, I have been trying to adjust to taking a train to school everyday. I should have it down by next week, hopefully. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know that people have been asking where Kagome and Inu Yasha were. I think this chapter is fairly longer than most, if not all of my other chapters. I hope you liked it!
