Chapter 10: A New Relationship

Kagome sighed as she entered the Higurashi Shrine. It seemed as if school would never end! She couldn't keep her focus on her work, or the teacher talk about the parts of a crayfish. (That's what I had to learn in Science the other day! * Yawn *)

She was always getting side tracked thinking of Inuyasha and what she had said. She was afraid he was angry with her because she said they should 'start over'. She hardly even knew him and she felt like she was falling in love with him. Was she wrong? Should they start over?

Kagome climbed the stairs to her bedroom, her mind still asking her questions she had no answers to. She walked into her room, threw her backpack on the soft carpet of the floor, and lay on her bed. Salty tears ran down her cheeks, blinding her eyes, making everything go blurry. What if Inuyasha thought that she meant that she didn't like him? What if he never talked to her again? She buried her face in her soft pillow as a sob escaped her lips.

"Please Inuyasha, come back, so that I can apologize for all that I said. I...I... don't want to loose you!" She cried into her pillow. She was soon drifting off to sleep, engulfing her in darkness.

"Is everything set up, Ethnie?" Inuyasha asked, poking his head through the back, stained glass door that led to the wooden deck.

"Everything is ready!" She said walking towards him with a warm gentle smile. He looked around and gave a little smile of satisfactory.

"Thanks Ethnie. I sure am glad you were here today!" He said walking towards the front door. 'Now that everything is set, all it needs is Kagome.' He thought as he strolled across the flower filled lawn to the Higurashi Shrine.

He stopped abruptly at her front door, his heart's pace increasing furiously, as he mumbled some things to say. When he finally found exactly what he was going to say, he fixed his silver bangs so they wouldn't get in his eyes and knocked on the wooden door.

The door opened slowly and a woman stood in the doorway. The smell of sea food and noodles filled his sensitive nose and he fretted that they might have already eaten. He also didn't plan on Kagome's mom to open the door either. Damn! This is not going as planned!!

"Hello! Do you need something?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, a huge smile on her lips. She was always smiling as if nothing ever phased her. His knees bent a little and he dug his thumbs into his blue jean pockets.

"Yeah, I was wondering if Kagome could come over to my place and have dinner with me? Or have you already eaten?" He asked quickly getting sort of nervous.

"Oh! No, I just started dinner and she hasn't eaten yet. I guess she could go, unless she has homework. Please come in and I'll go get her. " She said cheerily. Inuyasha let out a relieving sigh as Mrs. Higurashi walked up the carpeted stairs to fetch Kagome.

Inuyasha walked around the huge den, looking at pictures and small stoned objects. He looked at a picture of Kagome when she was little, eating an ice cream cone with vanilla ice cream on the tip of her little nose. He smiled at the thought of him licking it off. Wait!! What the- Kikyo? He stared at the picture on the left of the fireplace, his breath caught in his throat. It was. It was Kikyo! In the picture Kikyo was standing by an old man, her arm around him and smiling cheerily. He touched the picture gently and walked around the room to look for some more pictures of Kikyo.

"Kagome? Kagome dear? Wake up you have a visitor." Kagome shifted in her bed, stretching out her legs and arms to get her muscles awake. She opened up an eye and looked at her mom feeling groggy and sleepy.

"Hmmm...what?" Kagome asked sitting up. She felt like she had been sleeping for days! She couldn't even recall what her mom had said.

"The boy from next door is here and he wants to see you. Actually, he asked if you could have dinner with him." Kagome's mother winked at her and Kagome jumped out of bed almost knocking her mother off.

"What?!!" Kagome asked, her heart racing and her thoughts were like lightning bolts inside her head. Inuyasha? Wanting me to eat dinner with him? "Ah! How long has he been here? Is he in the house? Did he look mad? Ahh!! Look at me! I look like I've slept in a cage full of monkeys!" Kagome said quickly on one deep breath. She grabbed her brush off her dresser and brushed her hair quickly, grumbling at a tangle that wouldn't come out.

"No he just got here, and yes he's in the house. No, he doesn't look mad, why would he be mad?" Kagomes mother asked curiously.

"Oh, nothing. Forget I even asked." Kagome said as she wiped sleep out of her eyes. She fixed her school uniform skirt because it got twisted when she fell asleep. She studied herself in the long mirror. She didn't look the best she could be, but she looked better than she did just a few minutes ago.

"Alright!" she said to her self as she walked down the stairs. What was she going to say? How could she take back what she said? 'Oh great! How can I get myself out of this mess?

She walked to the den and stood in the doorway. There was Inuyasha. He was looking at the pictures on the fireplace. Alright, now to get his attention, she thought.

"Hehemmm.." She cleared her throat loud enough for him to hear. He swung around quickly, staring at her a little shocked. She stood still, staring into his golden eyes as he walked up to her. Her hands started to shake furiously from nervousness and she held her hands behind her so he wouldn't notice.

"So....ummm..you ready? He asked looking at her strangely. Kagome just nodded and started for the front door.

"Kagome? Please be home by ten. Any later and you will be in trouble missy!" Kagome's mom hollered from the kitchen.

"Ok, mom!" Kagome hollered back, rolling her eyes. She walked out first with Inuyasha right behind her. When they reached the sidewalk Inuyasha walked along side her, not knowing what to say. The sun was already gone and the sky was getting darker by the minute.

They said nothing at all on their way to the house. The silence made Kagome tense and uneasy, not comfortable and peaceful like some silences she's had before. 'I wonder what he's thinking right now? Is he angry? Or is he afraid I don't want him to talk? Aahrgg!! If he talked I would feel so much better!' She thought as they reached the gate to his backyard.

Inuyahsa unlocked the cold, metal latch and opened the gate. He stretched out his arm, gesturing her to go in first. She walked in, careful not to trip on the steps to the wooden deck. When she got to the top of the stairs she gasped.

There was a glass table framed with white marble, and two white chairs on both sides of the table to match. The table was set with blue glass bowls filled with steaming Raman, silver forks, glass cups filled with tea, and clothed napkins. Right in the middle of the table was a big white candle stick with a burning flame on its wick.

There were little candles in little glass holders spread out all around the railing of the deck, and a huge torch was on fire near the table. The fire lit the whole deck, and the flames were reflected on the glass of the bowls, cups, and table. It was so beautiful that it would make anyone speechless.

"Are you just gonna stand there and look? C'mon and sit down at the table." Inuyasha said and lead her to the chair. He pulled out the chair for her and she sat down. She was still held in a silent spell, and she couldn't think of what to say. Inuyasha sat in front of her, pulled off his cap and sighed.

"I hope you like Raman." He said as he picked up his silver fork and dug into his Raman. Kagome's eyes rested on his furry white dog ears. The urge to touch them again was making her chest ache. Inuyasha looked up from his plate and noticed her staring. He swallowed the food in his mouth and didn't quite know what to say.

Kagome blushed and felt sorry for staring. 'Ok I need to say something!' she thought as she looked down at the Raman and picked up her fork, watching the gleam from the candlelight run down the silver.

"Wow, Inuyasha! It's so beautiful! And the food smells great!" She took a bite of the Raman and smiled. It was hot and it warmed her insides. "It's good too." She said and looked up at him cheerily. 'Wow! After saying that I don't feel so nervous anymore.' She thought as she saw a light pink blush rise on Inuyasha's face.

"Well I guess we should thank Ethnie." He said taking a drink from his tea. Kagome looked puzzled.

"Who's Ethnie?" She asked curiously hoping he didn't have a sister.

"She's a maid who comes twice a week and cleans the house. See, my parents are always busy. My mother works with computers and my father writes novels. It's kind of weird cause you'd think my mother would be the writer and my father the computer specialist." He said and as he wiped his mouth with the clothed napkin.

"So, which one of your parents is the...youkai"? Kagome asked feeling kind of stupid for asking such a question. 'I hope I didn't offend him.' She thought when he stayed silent. "I'm sorry. I had no right to a-.."

"No, it's ok. You do have a right to know. That's why we're here, right?" Inuyasha said staring into her eyes intently.

"Huh? Inuyasha, about that, I'm...I don't know...why I said all that earlier today. I don't know what I was thinking. I-."

Inuyasha cut her off. "No, Kagome, I don't care, really. It's ok." He reassured her. "I'm not made at you if that's what you're afraid of." He said scratching his right arm. Kagome let out a sigh. As long as he wasn't mad at her, she was fine.

Kagome and Inuyasha finished their Raman and sat back in their chairs. Kagome felt a lot better. Their relationship will keep spreading, and it made her feel cozy inside.

"Ok, back to your question." He said as he closed his eyes to relax. "My father was the youkai, and the people I live with now are not my real parents. They are my foster parents. My real parents died when I was really small, so I don't remember them much. How they died, I don't know. They just never came home. I was put in an orphanage until I was thirteen. That's when my foster parents adopted me." Inuyasha let out a sigh and opened his eyes looking at the dark night sky.

"I'm sorry. I bet your parents really loved you." Kagome said giving him a sympathetic look. Inuyasha saw the look and smiled.

"Yeah well, I guess it would have been nice to know them." He said and sat up in his chair. "So, tell me something about your family."

"Uuhmm.. Well it's just me, my brother, Souta, and my mom. My dad left us when I was just about able to walk. He obviously had more better things to do than take care of his own family. My grandfather was a priest wannabe and he taught me about youkai, and spell scrolls, curses and other weird stuff. That's probably why I figured you were a hanyou. But anyways, he was murdered last year. He went to my cousins funeral and somebody murdered him in the hotel him and my mom stayed at. Souta and I stayed home."

Inuyasha went into a daze. So Kikyo is her cousin. Kikyo died last year. And I bet whoever killed Kikyo killed Kagome's grandfather too. What if the killer comes after Kagome?

"Inuyasha? You ok?" Kagome asked and Inuyasha popped back to reality.

"Huh, what?" He asked, confused and embarrassed that he had slipped away from their conversation.

"I asked if you have like super strength or somthin since you're a hanyou?" Kagome asked looking at his claws that rested on the edge of the table.

"Well, ummm..I guess you could say that." He looked up to the sky again and scratched his head.

"Wow! Really? Could you show me?" Kagome asked with excitement in her voice. Inuyasha blinked and stood up stretching his arms high above his head.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to show you some things." He said as Kagome got up and pushed in her chair. "But not here."

"Huh? Why not?" Kagome asked with one of her eyebrows raised.

"Cause my parents are here, and well, lets just say they don't like me showing other people what I can do." He said flatly.

"Ohh..So where can we go?" Kagome looked around the yard.

"Here jump on." Inuyasha said crouching down to the ground. 'Does he want me to get on his back?' Kagome walked up behind him and stopped when she reached him.

"What are you waitin for? Hurry up!" He said, obviously getting unpatient. Kagome nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck. He stood up and slid his hands under the soft flesh of her thighs, being careful not to scratch her with his deadly claws. Kagome shifted a little to get comfortable, and when she stopped wriggling Inuyasha asked, "You ready?"

"Ummm.. yeah I think so." Kagome said, worried that she might be too heavy and that he might accidentally drop her.

"Alright, Lets go!" He said and took off for the air.

~*~

Inuyasha jumped off the deck and took to the air. Kagome was so light, he hardly had any problems, accept that her shrieking was piercing his sensitive ears when she thought he was going to run into a car or pole, and her arms around his neck tightened nearly choking him..

The wind lifted their hair and even their spirits. Inuyasha smiled when he heard her laugh delightfully. He loved to hear her laugh, and loved to see her smile even more. She was someone he could be with forever if he chose. The warmth of her body against his back made him feel cozy and he just wanted to hold her in his arms, but he didn't want to take the chance if her reaction isn't what he wants.

He leaped from tree to tree, making sure that kagome didn't hit her head on a tree limb. He reached the park and landed with a grunt by a wooden bench. He released his hands from under her thighs and she slid off his back carefully. He turned and faced her and she sat down on the bench. She stumbled from dizziness and he helped her to sit down. She reminded him of a drunk teenager who needed someone to guide them, to protect them.

"That's one, right?" She said giggling. Inuyasha sat down next to her and nodded. What is it about this...human girl that makes him want to go crazy?

"So, is that all?" She asked teasingly. Inuyasha smirked. Now it was time to play some games.

"I want you to run as far as the park goes and hide somewhere." He said smirking at his plan.

"Wha- do you know how long that would take? And plus it's dark. The only lights are the street lamps." She said matter-of-factly.

"Well, then I guess you won't see more of what I can do." He said nagging at her.

"Fine, fine! I'll do it!" She said and started to run. Inuyasha turned his back on her so he wouldn't cheat.

~&~

It had been five minutes and Inuyasha decided he would already go after her. Since he could smell things for miles he could track her down and very quickly.

He sprinted as fast as he could sniffing the air for her scent. Her scent was like the smell of cherry blossoms, and it was her scent that made him want her as his own. She was soon to be his.

Her scent was getting stronger and he perked his ears up to pick up the sounds of her feet or her heart beat, cause her running all the way down here she must be exhausted.

He heard a twig snap and he stopped and looked the way that he had heard it. He smirked as he heard Kagome panting behind a tree. He walked slowly toward the tree getting ready to catch her. Kagome peered from behind the tree and when she saw Inuyasha she gasped and started to run.

Inuyasha was about to chase after her when all of a sudden a bunch of sprinklers sprayed water everywhere. There was so many of them, that Inuyasha got soaked fast. He ran after Kagome who had shrieked from the surprise of the water being sprayed on her. She kept running and when he was close enough to grab her shirt she slipped.

Inuyasha slipped and he forced his hands down fast enough to where one arm was on either side of her shoulders. Kagome rolled over and screamed. It was a scream of surprise of course cause, well, let me explain there situation. Inuyasha had put all his weight on his forearms and he was right on top of her. His legs were spread on both sides of her legs and his nose was touching hers. His silver hair was a curtain around their faces and his hot breath was was on her lips

They were both soak and wet, and drops of water dripped off Inuyasha's bangs and landed on Kagome's face. Inuyasha couldn't hold back anymore. He very gently brushed his lips against her soft cherry like lips. He made it quick so that he could see her expression. She looked surprised and her mouth was slightly parted. Kagome's breath was caught in her throat and her heart quickened. 'Did he just kiss me?'

Inuyasha yearned to taste her lips and the inside of her mouth. He wanted to feel the soft sensitive flesh of her neck. 'Arghh! I have to take control!' He yelled at his self. A deep growl arose in his throat and Kagome knew what he wanted, because she wanted it too.

(A/n heehee!! I think I'll end it there just to be an ass!! J/k!! Ok ok!!!! Fine!! I'll continue!! ^_^ ^_~)

Inuyasha was shocked when Kagome reached her hand up onto his head and pulled his lips to hers. He moaned against her lips as she began to rub one of his dog ears. He began to make a purring sound and Kagome smiled against his lips trying to keep her giggles from ruining this pleasure of kissing him.

Inuyasha licked her bottom lip as if to ask permission for entrance, and when she parted her lips his tongue slipped into her mouth. He ran his tongue over hers and explored her mouth making a mental note in his head where all the crevices were. Kagome's tongue shyly touched his and she shuddered beneath him. All this was sending continuous shivers up and down her spine. Her tongue ran over his fangs and she moaned when Inuyasha started to stroke the sides of her waist.

They finally had to break away for a breath. Inuyasha rolled over so that they could sit up. Kagome sat up with a red blush was spread across her cheeks. Inuyasha helped her to stand up, the water sprinklers were still spraying and Inuyasha was getting annoyed by the clicking sounds they made.

"Damn! I was supposed to have you home by ten! What time is it do you know?" He asked looking around. Kagome nearly fainted. She was going to be in so much trouble!

"There is a clock at the front of the park." Kagome said hurriedly.

"Alright! Jump on Kagome!" He said and Kagome jumped on his back and he ran the direction of the clock.
