Dangerous LoveKagome felt the suns light gently caress her features and stretched out knowing it was morning. She then stifled a yawn as she thought, ' Wow I haven't had a sleep that good for ages'. She breathed in deeply then swung her legs over the side of the bed and onto the floor. She was surprised when they didn't come into contact with the floor but with something large and warm. She peered over the bed and saw a sea of red, silver and blue. Memories of the night before sprung into her mind. She laughed slightly then stepped over the still sleeping Inuyasha. ' Aw he looks so innocent when he sleeps. Well except from the fangs. To bad that doesn't last,' she thought as she looked down at him smiling slightly. She crept out of the house and into the mornings welcoming rays. She yawned stretching high, looking at all the children up early to play with each other. ' Hmm great what do I do now?' thought Kagome looking around at the village.
" Hey Kagome, over here," came a familiar feminine voice. Kagome looked to her right to see Sango carrying a large bucket of water. She smiled at her friend then went to help.
" Here let me help," offered Kagome as she grabbed the bucket. As soon as Sango let go Kagome went crashing to the ground under the weight. She forced a smile using all her strength to barely lift the thing of the ground. " He he, I'm all right," she reassured, staggering toward Sango. Sango lifted a brow then took the bucket off Kagome like it was nothing.
" Wait for me here I'll only be a second. I have to get this water to Kaede," said Sango stifling a laugh.
" Yeah sure," said Kagome slightly breathless. She watched Sango disappear into the distance and sighed. She started to walk around aimlessly and started to think. ' I want to go home,' she thought. Just thinking about home made her homesick. It had only been four days since she left but it felt like eternity. Then she thought about all the schoolwork she would have to catch up on and groaned. 'Guess I'll just have to take my books around with me so I can finish my work,' She jumped up onto a tree that had fallen down and sat there dangling her feet off the edge. ' I wonder if Inuyasha's awake yet?' she thought while looking down at her feet.
" WENCH, WHAT DID YOU DO!!!" yelled a voice from somewhere in the distance.
" Well speak of the hanyou," she muttered.
###
Inuyasha woke quite suddenly as he felt someone step on his stomach. ' Damn wench,' he thought but didn't move making sure she still thought he was asleep. He listened carefully to her movements but was surprised when he heard her stop and just stand there. He wondered what she could be up to. She left shortly after that. When he was certain that she was gone he sat up. He groaned feeling the cramps in his neck from sleeping on the cold hard floor. ' She'll pay for what she did,' he thought wickedly remembering her sit trick. ' Now how can I get her back?' he wondered tapping his chin. His features shifted to a dangerous smirk as he saw Sango go by the window with a pail of water. " Oh Sango," he called sweetly, jumping of the floor and over to the window. Opening the window he leaned over the sill so his head was fully outside.
" What Inuyasha? I don't have time for sweet talk," she said sighing while trying to lift the heavy bucket.
Inuyasha snorted, "Well I didn't plan to have any 'sweet talk' with you. I was just wondering if you could use some help. I mean that bucket looks REALLY heavy and you are after all just human. Why don't you let me look after it?" he said just a bit to sweetly for Sango's liking.
" What are you going to do with it?" she asked raising a brow.
" Who me? Sango I'm hurt you would even think such a thing," he said placing his hands over his heart.
" Yeah," said Sango less than convinced and started to walk off.
" Fine strain your back then. Just one less person to worry about on this earth," he said lightly and walked back into his house closing the window. Inuyasha walked a bit into his house counting silently, ' Three, two, one'. He then heard a knock on his window. Turning his head to face the window he saw Sango there holding up the bucket. He smirked to himself, silently praising his own brilliance. Walking up to the window he opened it and half leaned out. " So have you changed your mind?" he asked Sango innocently.
" Yeah. Now just take the damn bucket before I change my mind," she said forcing the bucket upon him. He smirked grabbing the bucket and watching Sango walk off toward the house she was staying in. Looking at the bucket he now had possession of he lifted it off the ground with little effort and walked outside toward Kaede's hut. When he walked outside he saw Kagome sitting on a log swaying her legs back and forth. ' She'll pay for what she did' he thought while glowering at her petite figure. He then turned and faced the other direction and started off towards Kaede's hut. When arriving there he banged on the door, not waiting for an answer he barged in and placed the bucket on the table residing in the centre of the room. " Hey Kaede I brought water," he yelled out, hearing his voice echo in the house. He waited for an answer and tapped his foot impatiently. " Old hag! I said I brought your water," he repeated in a slightly louder voice.
" I'm not deaf Inuyasha," came her answer.
" Couldn't fool me" muttered Inuyasha.
" I heard that!"
" Humph, so what do you want me to do with it?"
" Just leave it there" she said as she walked into the room. " Thankyou Inuyasha you can leave now,"
" Well actually I was wondering if you could do me a favour considering I so graciously brought you some water.
" Yes what its it then?"
" Well, I was just wondering if you had any of that itching power you used on me a few years ago,"
" Yes I should have some. Why do you ask?"
" Could I have some?" he asked in a neutral tone careful not to reveal his malicious intent.
" What do you want it for?" Inuyasha stared at her for a moment dumbstruck. He obviously hadn't thought this out as well as he thought he had.
" Uh… I don't have to explain myself to you!" he growled at the old woman.
Kaede sighed. " Okay I'll just go get it," she left in the direction of the kitchen. Inuyasha smirked to himself. ' Oh that little bitch is going to pay,' he thought. Kaede returned a few moments later holding a small vile. She handed it over to Inuyasha smiling,
" So I'm guessing Kagome figured out how to use the sutra beads then?" Inuyasha grabbed the vile and glared heavily at Kaede. The old woman's eyes were alive with delight. " Don't be to harsh on her. One day she will hold all of humanities lives in her hands. It will be on her whether the world becomes purified with light or plunges into darkness,"
" Feh, is that supposed to make me fall to her feet or something? Humanity is as good as dead in the hands of that wench." He waited for a comment from Kaede but none came so he left the hut trying to contain his anger. ' Stupid girl, stupid Kaede, their all against me' the thought viciously stomping down the dirt paths.
" You in a bad mood, hanyou?" Inuyasha turned quickly to sight the source of the comment.
Glaring heavily he said, " Kouga! What the fuck are you doing here!?"
" Give it a rest dog turd," said the wolf youkai calmly as he started to pace around the very annoyed looking hanyou.
" Didn't you hear me? I asked you a question. If you don't want your limbs removed I suggest you answer it," said Inuyasha through gritted teeth.
" Ooh I'm scared dog turd," Kouga made a mock scared face. Inuyasha growled loosing the fragile grip on his anger and made a swipe at the wolf youkai. Kouga was too quick however and dodged laughing as he did so. " Sorry doggy, I guess your just no match for my superior speed," he said cockily.
Inuyasha smirked for a moment, " Whatever dog turd," the clenched his fist and made another swipe. This time Kouga was to busy laughing to dodge and was fit full force in the cheek.
" Oww, bitch I think you broke my nose!!!" yelled Kouga wiping his hand across his face, staining it crimson.
Inuyasha smirked, " Now why the hell are you here?"
" I thought it was pretty obvious. I'm here to see Kagome,"
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, "How did you know she was here?"
" I asked her mother. How else would I know?"
Inuyasha felt his anger starting to boil again. " WENCH, WHAT DID YOU DO!!!" he yelled making a few of the bird in nearby tree's fly off scared.
###
" Hmm guess I should see what he's yelling about," sighed Kagome as she jumped off the log and onto the dirt path. First she checked in his hut but couldn't see him anywhere. ' Where is he?' she wondered as she exited the hut and went in search of him. She didn't have to search long though as she heard slurred curses of a fight. ' Where ever there is a fight Inuyasha has to be involved some way or another' She thought as she arrived at the site where Inuyasha and Kouga where fighting.
" Your weak wolf boy. Just give up now before I pound your ass into the ground,"
" No chance you fucking dog turd,"
" Kouga?" she asked in disbelief.
" Oh hi Kagome," he greeted in a sweet voice as he threw another punch in Inuyasha's direction. " I'll just be a second," he said as he tackled Inuyasha to the ground.
" No stop it!" yelled Kagome at the two boys on the ground each trying to dominate over the other. Kouga looked up at Kagome and stood up off the ground,
" He's not worth my time anyway," Inuyasha shot a glare at Kouga and got up off the ground as well.
" I knew you were a wimp," Inuyasha said snidely.
" Oh no Kouga are you hurt?" asked Kagome when she saw the condition both fighters where in. "Inuyasha didn't hurt you did he? Oh your nose is bleeding, here let me help you," said Kagome in a caring way and ripped part of her shirt to clean the blood away from Kouga's face.
" Nah I'm fine Kagome. This dog turd could never hurt me," he shot a look to Inuyasha to see him glaring in their direction. 'He's jealous, good' thought Kouga as he saw Inuyasha clench his fists when Kagome cooed over how brave Kouga was. Once Kagome was sure Kouga was all right she turned her attention to Inuyasha.
" You!" she said jabbing a finger at his chest, " How could you start a fight! You baka! You just recovered from your last fight!" although she had an angry tone although her true feelings were obvious. Her voice lowered a bit, " I don't want you hurt because of me again," It was Inuyasha's turn to smirk at Kouga as he said,
" Don't worry Kagome, it takes more then wimpy wolf here to take me down," Kagome gave a little smile.
" I'm just glad you are both fine,"
" Hey Kagome can you help me for a minute?" asked Kouga as he started towards one of the huts.
" Umm, yeah sure," she said as she toddled after him. Inuyasha made a growl but no one seemed to notice. He watched Kagome and Kouga enter a hut by them selves and growled a little deeper. ' Why do I even care what or who the wench does?' he suddenly thought.
" Because your jealous" Inuyasha jumped and spun quickly saying,
" Who the hell said that?"
" Your conscience… wooh" said someone making a very bad impression of a ghostly voice. Inuyasha homed in on where the voice was coming from and walked over calmly.
" Would my conscience happen to have another name?" he asked ready to pounce.
" Maybe…" Inuyasha leaped on where the voice was coming from.
" Miroku?" he asked in disbelief. " What are you doing here?" Miroku shoved Inuyasha off him the stood up brushing his clothes.
" Well I didn't expect that. I'm here to check on you, Kagome and Sango of course. Look I brought Shippo to," he gestured behind him to reveal the small kitsune.
" Hey Inuyasha," said Shippo with a small wave.
Inuyasha glared at both of them. " Why the hell were you sneaking up on me like that? What you trying to give me a heart attack or something?" Both Miroku and Shippo shrugged.
" We just thought it would be rude to interrupt you when you were clearly thinking about Kagome with that Kouga guy," said Miroku.
" I WAS NOT!!!" yelled Inuyasha.
" Oh, bit touchy are we?" asked Shippo. He soon regretted it however as Inuyasha came at him. " Oi Miroku, HELP ME!!! The evil hanyou's out to kill me!!!"
" That's enough Inuyasha. We need to concentrate on the problem at hand," said Miroku grabbing the back of his friend's shirt.
" Oh and what would that be?" asked Inuyasha raising a brow.
" To get Kagome into bed with you of course," said Miroku with a huge grin. Both Inuyasha's and Shippo's sweat dropped.
" I don't want her anywhere near my bed!" yelled Inuyasha.
" Really cos you reek of her. If I didn't know any better I would already say you've been to bed with her," said Shippo. Inuyasha made a glare at the young kitsune causing him to squeak.
" Okay so I did sleep with her," said Inuyasha evenly.
" What did you say?" asked Shippo disbelievingly.
" What I second I think the more appropriate question would be ' How was it?'" Shippo then whacked Miroku over the head.
"No, literally! Geez you're such a hentai. There were no more beds so she shared mine. We were both unconscious at the time so I had no idea,"
" But when you were conscious something happened right?" asked Miroku hopefully.
" Yah she slapped this damn necklace on me,"
" Is that some sort of kinky thing?" Once again Inuyasha's and Shippo's sweat dropped.
" No it's some sort of fucked up thing! Whenever she says the word sit I end up on my ass,"
" Ohhh so it is a kinky thing," Inuyasha growled at his friend. " Joking, joking," he said defensively while putting up his hands in defence. " So anyway sounds like you've had an interesting few days,"
" You don't even know the half of it,"
###
" Oh Kouga are you sure you're alright? Those cuts look like they hurt," Kagome asked as she cleaned his wounds.
" Ha, don't worry I'm a demon. I heal quickly, it's part of my anatomy. Demons were meant to be warriors, so we have extra strength and heal faster. But you know I wouldn't mind if you kissed them better," he gave his best puppy dog eyes. Kagome gave a small laugh and shoved him jokingly. Memories of what Sango had told her came flashing into her mind. ' You kissed Kouga,' kept echoing in her head. ' Could I have really kissed him? I would have never considered it… I think. What if he expects me to kiss him again? What if I really did like him? I mean I like him but as a friend. What if something changed? Oh what do I do?' she thought.
" Hey Kagome are you alright?"
She sat up quickly surprised by the interruption to her thoughts, " Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
He gave her a strange look, " Okay if you're sure. Well I think I'm all fixed up now, thanks for all your help," he jumped up off the bed with a boyish grin. Kagome couldn't help but blush and mumbled a quick ' Your welcome'.
He smiled in return and stood in front of the mirror examining his body. A bandage was wrapped firmly around his upper arm while his chest was left bare. Kagome stared shamelessly while he flexed his muscles to check they were all working, well she assumed so anyway.
Although to Kouga this was all part of his plan. Get her to swoon over him and soon he would have her right where he wanted her. " Well it all looks fine," he commented and started walking toward her.
" Yeah you'll be as good as new in no time,"
To Kagome's surprise Kouga kept walking towards her even after he was at the 'unwritten point of personal space.' She was then equally as surprised when he stared to leant over. ' Oh what do I do?' her thought's frantic. She panicked and leant forward pressing her lips against his. He seemed shocked however so she retracted. After she leant back she saw the shock in his eyes. ' Well that happened sooner than expected,' Kouga thought to himself as he continued to reach over Kagome to grab his shirt. Kagome at once noticed this movement and blushed deeply. She then burst into an apology.
" Oh my god Kouga I'm so sorry I just thought you were going to… and I didn't… and I'm so sorry," Kouga just looked at the flustered girl bemused.
" Nah its okay Kagome. I swear I'm fine with it. In fact I wouldn't mind doing it again," Kagome broke out into a bigger blush if possible.
" Well… umm… uh…" she stuttered but was interrupted by a low growl. She quickly turned to the source of the noise. At the door she saw a glaring Hanyou watching her every move.
" Well nice to see you dog turd," greeted Kouga with a wide smirk. " How has your day been? Mines been great. Why don't you tell him about it sweetie," he pulled Kagome into an over exaggerated embrace. Kagome just laughed nervously and watched as Inuyasha started to loose the grip on his temper again. She braced herself for an explosion, but it never came.
" Bite me wimpy wolf," he stated calmly and walked out of the room. Kagome visibly relaxed letting out the breath she had been holding in.
" Wow what's wrong with him?" stated Kouga breezily while still smirking. " So where were we?" he said turning his attention back to Kagome.
Kagome gave a nervous laugh then pushed out of his grasp." Umm, I have to go Kouga. You know lots to do, people to see. Well I'll see at school tomorrow." She hastily made her escape and went in search of Inuyasha.
###
" She kissed that bastard!" he fumed. " How could she?! I told her he was no good! Well when he tries to kill her she better not come running to me," Inuyasha stormed down the path towards his hut, kicking aside anything that got in his way. " That bitch, why would she do that?"
The hanyou's behaviour was gaining the attention of the villagers and also Sango.
" Hey Inuyasha, why are you on the warpath?" she yelled.
" I'm NOT on a war path," Sango just shrugged.
" Whatever you say,"
Inuyasha continued down the track kicking stones in every direction. With his strength that could be dangerous to all in his vicinity. The villagers quickly ducked into their homes but the hanyou took no notice.
" Inuyasha I know something's wrong!" yelled Sango deciding to pursue him.
" Nothing is WRONG, okay!?"
" Yes, I see that from your clearly pissed manifestation," she stated sarcastically. Inuyasha just growled deeply and continued raging. Sango sighed, " You know you would feel better about whatever is bothering you if you just let it out,"
" No I won't!" he argued.
" It's about Kagome isn't it?" Inuyasha turned to the girl glaring hotly. ' How is she so damn perceptive,'
His rage taking over his common sense he roared, " So what if it is. I don't care about that stupid wench. She could sleep with a hundred guys for all I care!"
" What?" questioned Sango now clearly confused.
" Nothing. Just leave me alone, okay?" Sango nodded sightly trying to absorb the information he had just divulged to her.
" Wait Inuyasha," she yelled, but it was to late as he slammed the door to his hut.
As Inuyasha slammed the door he thought,
" God, I really need a smoke,"
###
' What have I done?' thought Kagome frantically as she wandered through the village. ' Kouga, is he really the one for me? When I kissed him I felt nothing, no passion, no emotion, nothing. It was like kissing my mother. Oh what am I going to do? Inuyasha looked really pissed off too. Will he still help me find the Shikon? Oh god I really need to talk to him,' She kept walking through the village until she came to Inuyasha's hut. ' Be brave, just walk in and explain yourself.' Once her pep talk to herself was through she took a deep breath and knocked timidly on the door.
An angered voice answered, " Sango didn't I tell you to piss off already?"
" Ahh… it's me Inuyasha, Kagome," she said uncertainly.
" Oh, well in that case you can piss off to,"
Kagome's anger started to boil. Who did this guy think he is to boss her about. Anger surged through her as she pushed open the door and yelled, " Who the hell do you think you are anyway? What on earth is your problem?"
He gave an undignified snort, " Gee and I thought that would be obvious. My problem is you,"
" Oh and what did I ever do to you?" she questioned anger still livid in her voice.
' You made me feel,' he thought angrily. " You bitch, you've brought me into your little twisted game. Well guess what I refuse to play it,"
" What the hell are you talking about? What 'game'?"
" Don't act like a clueless, naïve little girl. You know you look like Kikyou and you use it against me. When you got me to protect you, when you dressed like her, when you laid with me stoking my head, when you kissed Kouga!"
" What? You said you would protect me I never forced you into it, I didn't know I dressed like Kikyou when I put on those clothes, I laid with you in that bed because I thought you needed comfort and the only reason I kissed Kouga was because I thought that was what was expected of me!"
Inuyasha looked into her fiery depths and said softly, "You have no idea what you've done to me do you?" Kagome was taken back by him sudden change in attitude. Inuyasha watched as her eyes went from fierce with anger to innocent and clueless.
He sighed then withdrew his gaze to the floor. " Look Kagome I'm just pissed off right now. I know your not playing a game, I just had to take my anger out on somebody."
" Why are you so angry?" she said gently, while going to sit on the bed.
' Because you fucking made out with Kouga!' " I don't know," he answered.
" Well come and sit down and we'll talk about it."
" Hmm, let me think about it… No."
" You know you would feel better about whatever is bothering you if you just let it out,"
" Geez you hang around Sango too much. Okay well I know it's hard to believe but I'll be fine, so why don't you leave now?" Before she could answer Inuyasha had grabbed her around the waist and was directing her to the door. " Okay well see you," he said as he opened the door and pushed her out. ' Now why the hell did I say those things to her?' he pondered. Sure it was what he thought she was doing but the innocents in her eyes told him otherwise. ' So if she really isn't playing a game then that means, oh I don't want to know what that means,'
' It means those feelings you have for her are real,' substituted another part of his thoughts.
' No it doesn't. I don't feel anything for the wench beside spite. How dare she look so much like Kikyou!'
' But she's not Kikyou, she's better,' argued his other thoughts.
' What did you say! I'll kill you for saying that,'
' Rrrright… your going to kill yourself are you? That makes sense,'
' Oh shut up! Hmm maybe being alone isn't such a good idea after all,'
' Damn right, Einstein,'
' Shut up!'
