Disclaimer: Same old stuff...
A/n: Hello! I finally got the time to finish this chapter and to update, yay! I'll most likely be updating on weekends and Thursday night b/c at my school we have four day weeks so I get an extra day to try and update! Anyways, I'm so, so, so sorry for takign so damn long to update this fic. I feel so guilty...I really do. School is a bitch, it's that simple I guess. Where the hell did my summer go?!?!
Enough ranting, let's get to the reason why you're here...
Undiscovered Chapter Eleven: Silent Treatment
Kagome's bright eyes watched Inuyasha walk ahead of her, his strut confident and strong.
She'd been studying his walk and everything else about the back of him for nearly three hours now. She didn't have anything else to do besides sulk about his lack of trust, and that had given her a stomach ache quite some time ago. So she gave up on figuring out his complicated methods of thinking, and began to watch him.
She'd always watched Inuyasha with a slight bit of curiousity. He didn't move like a normal guy his age would, or any man for that matter. He had a proud stride that no man Kagome knew could ever hope to achieve. He took long strides too, each one careless and unnoticed. He kept his hands either tucked gently within his billowing sleeves or one at his side, swaying slightly while the other fondled the handle of his most prized possesion.
Kagome also noticed when he would turn slightly to his right, just to make sure she was still behind him. It wasn't that he couldn't hear her, she knew he could and it wasn't that he couldn't smell her scent, which she obviously knew he could do too. It was almost a security issue. He had to be sure that she was with him.
With that thought, the unsettling feeling of him not trusting her punched her gut.
'What have I ever done to loose it?' she asked herself, glaring at the ground as they ascended hill after countless hill.
Kagome watched him turn around to face her with a brooding scowl upon his face. The moon's gentle light made his silver hair gleam behind him and she couldn't help but admire what a masculine beauty he had about him.
"It's getting pretty late," he finally stated. His voice showed no irritation nor endearment. It showed not one bit of emotion.
'He sounds like a PE teacher,' mused Kagome, her eyes staring blankly at him.
"Well where should we sleep?" she asked quietly, her pain not hidden as her words slightly wavered.
Inuyasha picked up on her sad tone and walked to her. Even if they weren't getting along, it didn't mean he didn't love her. He wanted to hold her close and tell her he was sorry. But the scent of Hojo still lingered on her clothes and he did not want to touch her if that scent were still upon her.
"Over there...there's a cave I saw on the way to get you."
Kagome nodded. "When you came to prove to Kouga that I was your mate?"
Inuyasha let out a sigh. "Why do you gotta bring him up?" he snapped.
Kagome frowned. "Why not? It's not like he's a threat to you...is he?" she replied, eyes searching between each of his.
Inuyasha crossed his arms defiantly, turning his nose upright in a very childish, very arrogant pose. "Well duh," he replied, his ageless immaturity exploding forth.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh just sit," she spat back.
Inuyasha fell into the ground, mumbling terrible profanities to her as she walked to the nearby cave.
Kagome stormed off, her temper making her skin flush. She couldn't believe him and his baby attitude. 'He acts like a six year old half the time.'
Kagome stood beside the cave and waited for Inuyasha to offer to go get some wood for a fire.
He didn't.
Instead he stormed past her and into the cave. "Inuyasha, you don't know what's in there!" exclaimed Kagome. He 'hmphed' and waltzed on in. "A little dark doesn't scare me, Ka-AHH!"
Just as quickly as he'd entered the cave, he was coming back out, holding his hand as a large snake slithered past him. Kagome screamed and ran to Inuyasha as the green reptile, without a care, slid away from the silly pair, and into the woods.
Kagome looked away from the cave to Inuyasha.
He looked from her to his hand. "Oh God Inuyasha," gasped Kagome as she stared at the bloody bite. Inuyasha batted her away. "It's just a bite," he muttered, quickly sinking his own fangs into his hand and sucking out the poison without a second thought.
Kagome watched him as he sat there, glaring at her her from behind his hand. Blood dribbled down his hand and onto the ground. She knew that he'd blame the snake biting him on her. He always blamed things going wrong on either her or Shippo. It was never his fault.
Despite her fuming anger towards him, she did pity him. He looked quite young, sitting there alone. He reminded her of a young puppy, licking his wounds defiantly as his mother tried to pester him with help.
'He never had a mother,' thought Kagome. 'Well not long enough to teach him to allow others to help him anyways.'
Kagome walked over to him, setting down her bright backpack and kneeling infront of him. His eyes followed her, never softening. She didn't look at him as she rummaged through her bag. She turned as he spat out for the second time. The crimson liquid hit the ground and she looked back to him as he went back to work at the venom.
She grabbed some gauze, which she always brought in her First Aid kit and searched the various ointments. "Burns, cuts, scrapes," she read aloud. Inuyasha watched her silently, only turning away to spit once more. This time more blood came out than venom.
Kagome found an ointment that said could help with bug stings, such as scorpions and wasps. It wouldn't do much about the venom, but it would stop the pain. She knew that if he heard her even consider him being in pain over a bite, he'd become all pouty faced once more.
'But isn't it me who's supposed to be mad at him?'
Kagome shook her head, ignoring the question and dealing with the matter at hand.
She grasped his hand as he turned to spit again. Without a word, he let her wipe away the saliva and blood from his skin. She took the fowl smelling liquid and smeared it upon the four cuts, two from the snake, two from him. He didn't cringe at all. He just stared on as her hands gently tried to heal him with her modern day remedies.
She then took the gauze and began to wrap him up.
"Kagome," he whispered, glancing up to her.
She looked away from their hands and smiled to him with soft eyes, her anger slowly withering away.
"You okay?" she asked quietly, putting away the rest of the medicines. He nodded, bringing his hand into his other and flexing it. It was sore, that was for sure...but Kagome's medicine was numbing it away quickly.
"Let's just sleep out here, okay?" she suggested gently.
Inuyasha nodded and waited until she was quietly tucked in before leaning against the nearest tree and watching her from afar.
It was a cool night. The winds were snipping at their skin and hinted autumn's return. The skies were clear, but the faint scent of rain still lingered. A storm would blow in either later that evening or the next morning. Inuyasha knew that neither of them would be too friendly, walking in the rain while still angry with one another.
He glanced to Kagome as she snuggled even deeper within her sleeping bag. She shivered with a sigh and rolled over onto her back. Inuyasha wanted nothing more than to race over to her and curl up against her. He'd keep her secure and warm...but that human's scent was still on her clothes and would be until she washed them.
He couldn't believe how in tune he was with her body and its aromas. He'd always been aware of her delicate scent, one mixed with her bodies own fragrance and whatever perfume she was wearing. Now though, he was aware of every detailed scent. Perhaps it was the tasting of her blood that had sent his senses into overdrive. He closed his eyes.
He loved the bitter taste of her blood. It wasn't that a love like one of a favorite food, no. It was something of Kagome's that he had, and as weird as it sounded, he liked it. He liked knowing that he'd always, both physically and emotionally have something of hers.
'I may not have anything emotional of hers for long though.'
He frowned at the thought, his eyes snapping open again. She wasn't asleep, he could tell. She was just trying to keep warm.
'Just ignore her...go to sleep,' snapped the voice within him.
The voice would have won had he not heard her little voice whisper, "Inuyasha?"
His ears, which he'd never gained full control of, perked up. A dead giveaway he knew, that showed he was definitely not asleep. "Yeah?" he grunted, his eyes still closed in an attempt to block her out.
"It's really cold," she replied.
He inwardly groaned. 'Great, now she's going to ask me to sleep with her and I'll have to breathe that disgusting odor all night.'
Kagome leaned on her elbows as he let out a sigh. "Yeah, and?"
She shrugged. "Well I was hoping you would go get some fire wood so we'd have a fire? If you don't, I will."
Inuyasha opened his eyes, a bit of pain teasing at his ego. No, she had not asked him to lay with her but to collect wood. His body, his heat, had been replaced by firewood. Without a word, the angry half demon rose up and stormed off into the woods. Kagome simply rolled her eyes and lay back down.
She was exhausted and didn't have the patience nor energy to put up with his bad mood. So with a few troublesome thoughts of what was going on between them, she drifted off to sleep. Only to be woken up moments later by Inuyasha loudly starting a small fire then going back to his tree.
'Doesn't even say goodnight or anything,' thought Kagome miserably.
"Thanks," she whispered.
'Your welcome.'
His ears perked once more before they both fell asleep.
A/n: There! Finished the damn thing. Took me forever to get past this little roadblock I had. Last time I updated, immediately afterwards I started this then hit a point and it just stopped coming to me. Damn it. Oh well, there it was. I'm sorry if it was kinda short...to me it was, maybe it was just my own criticism eating at me, who knows.
So next chapter, I'm still not totally sure what I'll put, but it will be ASAP. Again, sorry if this was short and not very dramatic, but feh. ;P Oh, I know that there may be a few spelling errors, sorry. I'm too tired to fix 'em, so I hope you can find your way around them! Thanks again for the great reviews guys!! I love ya'll! :P
