Chapter 25: Vacation?
Inuyasha hadn't even run 20 feet from his vacation spot when he heard the crunch of feet behind him. Turning all he saw was a small figure running like hell was at its heels toward the ocean. The hanyou was stuck between looking for Kagome or helping this psychotic stranger. He rolled his eyes at himself as he ran after the estranged mortal.
Lightening flashed as the waves wrapped itself around the person's body. He cried out as the body flew through the air. Thunder rumbled and electricity flashed through the sky again. The boy's violet eyes widened in shock as the light played on the body flying through the air.
The half lidded blue gray eyes, the miko clothes…
Kagome…what are you doing?
As he ran up to her fallen body, he watched it move once, before it went completely still.
Light flooded her vision as she blearily opened her eyes. She felt warm and dry, with a satisfied smile she snuggled deeper into her comforting surroundings. When she realized with start that there was another heartbeat in the room besides her own.
She sat up gasping; turning she just about purified the intruder when she stopped. There, lie a sleeping Inuyasha.
A very shirtless Inuyasha.
Her face turned red.
Kagome stared out the window, watching her reflection as she watched the waves calmly go to and fro to shore.
Wasn't she supposed to be dead?
She shut her eyes, desperately trying to recall the night before. The familiar clammy coldness of her clothes, the salty air, the ocean answering her desire to die, the form on the beach with the purple eyes…
Her eyes snapped open.
Had Inuyasha seen her?
Had he…saved her?
Kagome sighed; she'd never accomplish it now. With a look of defeat, she fell backward onto the bed, her eyes in annoyed look. Guess she wasn't going to die after all. So much for meeting Inuyasha-kun in the afterlife.
A shift in the covers beside her and she lazily looked over. Blinking at Inuyasha's half-asleep look, his eyes were a warm gold, his hair splayed out all around him.
He looked…kind of cute actually.
Kagome mentally slapped herself.
Going to kill self for Inuyasha-KUN.
But then again…
Bad Kagome!
" You're awake." She smiled down at him as his ear twitched.
" Don't do that EVER again!"
" Well excuuuuuuuse me if I ran out in the bloody rain to find YOU!"
" WHAT? That's what I was doing! And since when am I supposed to be in the fucking OCEAN?"
" SHUT UP!"
" At least I saved your sorry ass!"
" At least I bothered to even come here and find you!"
" WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU?"
" BECAUSE YOU'RE MY FRIEND!"
Inuyasha blinked at the irate miko before him, her eyes glowing with anger as she stared up at him.
" What?"
" You. Are. My. Friend. What part of that don't you understand? It's what friends do! They help the other one!" She looked ready to cry.
Don't cry… He mentally pleaded.
Tears spilled down her face as she yelled at him.
" Rin wore herself out for DAYS, looking through maps to figure out where you were! Sango and Miroku had to take care of all the press and I've never seen so many bottles of Aspirin consumed by one dog demon in my life! I locked myself up in my room with Sango's manga and pocky stash feeling totally miserable because it was my fault you left! And…
…
I missed you dammit! And all you can think of is WHY all of us would do this for you? WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?"" Kagome…"
" OSUWARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! Osu-…Osu-…' She broke down onto her knees, crying helplessly into her hands.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he crouched before her, handing her a tissue in the process of cracking the kinks out of his spine.
" Kagome, just stop."
Sniffling, she blew her nose and looked up, her eyes misty and puffy.
" What?"
" It's okay. Do you think we should turn our selves in now?"
" No."
Inuyasha blinked.
" What?"
" Rin hates me."
" Why?"
"Cause…" She murmured, refusing to look at him.
The hanyou stared at her, trying his damnedest to figure out her expression. Why would Rin be mad at Kagome of all people? She wouldn't hurt a fly unless…
Inuyasha looked the opposite direction.
" So I want to stay here. At least then if they do find us, they get a 2 for 1 deal."
The hanyou smirked.
" Really now?"
She nodded, " Yeah. Besides, personally, we both could use a vacation. And…" She sighed and put her head on his shoulder. " I'm tired. We both are. So let's just take a break. We deserve it. Especially you."
Fighting the ever-intruding blush he looked down at her, making her face tilt up to his.
" Why me?"
" Cause you put up with me and all my stupid emotional baggage." The miko placed her head against his shoulder again, hugging him.
" That and you smell good."
" What?" The hanyou looked down; his face a lovely shade of red as he gently poked her.
She's asleep AGAIN?
With a resigned sigh, he stood and placed the snoozing feudal era priestess on the couch. Sliding a blanket on her, he chuckled humorlessly.
Maybe this whole vacation idea didn't seem so bad…
Luna: So from rape, to hate, to appreciate!
Veron: You just rhymed.
Luna: So expect fluffiness in a chapter near you!
Veron: Speaking of fluffiness…
Jareth: Will you turn off this hair blower already?
Luna: But you have such a nice afro!
Veron: REVIEW!
Jareth:…
Review Responses
eX Driver Liz: Well, as you have just seen, she isn't dead. And don't worry, I know the Hades quote. My folks are complete movie buffs. Along with Disney. They like anime too and have become addicted to Inuyasha too. My fault....((Sigh)) But I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Inuyasha-Freak15: ((Thoughtful face)) Must I always have cliffies........Lemme think....YES! Make more people want to read! And don't worry, the next chapter has MAJOR fluff!
i won't tell: Well, okay. Not the S & M kind of torture. But I always seem to put him through the most emotional crap. Maybe it's just instinctual since he goes through so much in the manga and anime anyway that I already know he can handle it. Since he's such an egotistical macho dude anyway....
szmadad: Yeah, I just seem to gravitate towards angst. Must be my teenage mind or something...Well, on one hand she IS lucky. But on the other she's not. Since the one she remembers is DEAD. And the other is someone she doesn't want since she loves his incarnation. Man...I knew the SHOW was a soap opera but my fic is too. ((Sweatdrop))
Ithilden: Yeah, I really suck at writing long chapters. If you want REALLY long chapters, read Rozefire or the fanfiction, "Bacchnalia" I believe I spelled it right.... And yes, Rin IS being bitchy. I can't blame her really, I would be too...But don't worry, her bitchiness does not go unpunished. But don't worry, she isn't going to die or anything.
chaosreaper: You're a romantic at heart aren't you? Never would've pictured you as one...But if you want fluffies, you get fluffies! ((Pause)) NEXT chapter. Mwahahaha!
whiterose03: Wow.....you live in a cave? Cool! Is it nice and cold in the Summer time? LOL. Look I updated!
DarkRoses217: (( Blinks)) Best fanfiction you've ever read? You don't mean that...Maiden of the Moon and Rozefire are MUCH better then I am...But I love how enthusiastic you are about my story! Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! ((Pauses)) Does that mean I have a kitten in my stomach somewhere? ((Pokes her belly)) Hm... Oh you loved Ludo? Ludo was so cute, I wanted to hug him! But my two favorite characters are Jareth and Sir Didymus! Go chivialry! LOL. And I hope you enjoy " What's Your Pleasure" even if I DID discontinue it n.n!
dragon's kitty: YAY! I'm a role model! Does that mean I have to be all courteous and preppy now? o.O Just kidding. And of COURSE you can torture Jareth. Just don't beat him up too much, or kill him. And if there are any casualties, just pin them on Naraku or something...And I forgot where I learned faces...and lookie! I updated!
Iz: Icky, school. Hope I updated in time!
Wendy-Chan: ((Grins)) Arigato!
Sasami: Aw....((Hands her tissues)) And if I've already finished writing it, I HAVE to continue it. Unless something bad happens to me or something...
REVIEW ONEGAI!
