Chapter Five: Mark of Guilt
Kagome knew Inuyasha well. She knew he was in the one spot where he always went to think...the Goshinboku. Inuyasha sat in the sacred tree, one leg hanging down while the other sat sideways, keeping his balance on the tree. His arms were folded across his chest and his back was against the tree. He sighed heavily, 'Stupid people...they're supposed to believe me...I thought they were my friends.' He closed his eyes, letting one more sigh escape his lips.
------ NEW POV------
Kagome soon came insight of the Goshinboku, but she didn't slow down her pace. She wanted to hurry up and prove that Inuyasha wasn't guilty, she just wanted to forget everything that happened that day. She soon got to the tree and looked up, seeing Inuyasha's foot. In a small voice she asked, "Inuyasha?"
A low growl was heard, then the foot disappeared from Kagome's view. Inuyasha was hidden in he trees, "What..." He answered in a monotone voice.
"I uh...I need to check something."
"Why?"
"...I just want to check you for...a mark." She looked to the ground.
"Eh..." Inuyasha knew all too well why she wanted to check him now. She still didn't believe him! Another growl came from the tree, then Inuyasha jumped down from the tree behind Kagome. "I'm not showing you my body."
"Eh..." Kagome looked back and saw the hanyou. She turned so she was facing him, "Why?...Do you have something to...hide?" Kagome's eyes once again began to swell with tears.
"No, I am not going to give you that pleasure." He crossed his arms across his chest and looked away.
"Eh...Pleasure?" Kagome's eyes dried up and she tilted her head sideways.
"...Demons have different spots on their body for that mark. Weasels for instance have them on their backs, while neko's have them on their back. But for dog demons...its in a place where...well....I'm just not showing you!" Blushing and fumbled with words, Inuyasha turned his back to her.
"...The front...or back?" Kagome blushed at the question, knowing where Inuyasha meant.
"The back of course!" He yelled out, a blush coming to his own face.
Kagome took a deep breath and reached her hand out. She wouldn't let anything from stopping her find out the truth. She grabbed the hem of his pants and yanked them down.
Inuyasha, now feeling a bit breezy, looked back at Kagome, "...Eh!!! What in the hell are you doing?!!" His face was as red as...well, his kimono.
Kagome's face was even redder. She took a quick peek...she saw nothing. Not really knowing what she was doing, she reached her hand up and rubbed it across his revealed bottom, "I don't see a mark..."
Her touch sent shivers down his spine. He wanted to touch her, he wanted her to touch more of him. He looked to the ground in front of him, his face getting redder by the seconds, "...I...told you..." His voice was calm and shy.
"Hmn..." Kagome moved her other hand up and began to rub both cheeks of his behind, surprisingly she didn't even know she was doing it.
As much as he loved it, he didn't want anyone to see what she was doing and get the wrong idea. He closed his eyes, "...Do you mind stopping that?..."
"Eh...huh?" Kagome looked up at him, then down to her hands. "Eh!!!" She blushed a deep shade of crimson when she saw her hands on Inuyasha's hind parts. She quickly pulled them away and stood up.
Once her hands were off, she reached down and pulled his pants back up. "I told you I wasn't the father..." He regained his composure and jumped back up into the tree.
"...I'm sorry I...didn't believe you..." She looked to the ground. "I should've had more faith in you..."
"Damn right you should have." He simply said as he sat down on the same branch, leaned back, and let one leg fall.
Kagome visibly flinched then sighed. She looked up into the tree, she walked over to it and began to climb up. Inuyasha didn't notice.
She reached her hand up and grabbed a hold of the tree branch and pulled herself up. She lost her footing though and she was hanging on by her hand. Inuyasha reached over quickly, taking a hold of her wrist, he pulled her up gently and sat her down on the branch. "What are you doing?" He sat back down and looked to her.
"I just wanted to come up here with you." Kagome sat down, straddling the branch with her legs, which was very uncomfortable by the way. She looked over at him, "And you always sit in trees...I was just wondering how it felt. I've never really climbed a tree and sat it in for a long time. Well...not for a long time at least." She smiled at the memories of her and Souta building tree houses in the Goshinboku and sleeping in them or playing games in them. "In fact...it was this very tree that me and Souta used to go up in. Sometimes, when we didn't have our tree house, I would sit like you are now and Souta would sit in my lap and lean against my chest...but, we only did that because my dad and I used to sit like that." Kagome looked to her lap, "Everyday when he came home, I ran out to him and he always had a bag of candy for me and him to share. Souta wasn't born yet, so it was just me and dad. We would sit down on the bench beside the Goshinboku and share stories of how our day went. But...one day he didn't come home..." Kagome trailed off with her words, not wanting to remember that horrible day.
Inuyasha could feel her grief and sorrow. He watched her drift off and looked to his own lap. He hesitated...but he reached over and pulled Kagome towards him, turning her around so her back was against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his head against hers, "Don't be sad Kagome..."
Kagome gasped at his actions. But when she was held tight in his embrace, she relaxed. She bent her neck a bit and laid her head sideways against his chest gently and closed her eyes, "Thank you Inuyasha...but I'm not anymore."
He smiled down at her and closed his eyes.
