Inuyasha Is That Really You?

Close call

Last Time, Their lips were inches apart. Kagome closed her eyes. She couldn't believe Inuyasha was about to kiss here.

Although he knew he shouldn't obey to his desire of touching Kagome's pink, soft lips, Koga just couldn't think straight. What to do? She was there, abandoning herself to him, fully aware... well not fully aware but mostly. But he wasn't the one she wanted to kiss, he knew that but still what if?

She had closed her eyes, waiting. Was he to discourage her? But he wanted it so much. How could she be in love with Inuyasha for god's sake.

"Kagome... I... can't..." She flicked her eyes wide open. He stepped back, keeping his gaze upon her, holding her warm hands in his rough ones.

"You... can't?" Tears started forming in her sweet eyes, tearing Koga up inside. "I mean, I knew... I... just thought... never mind it was stupid of me." She looked away and he saw drops of silver tears come down the side of her face. How he wish he could tell her the truth and end her pain. What if he just told her, and only her? Could that make a big difference? Surely Kikyo wouldn't know. And even if she did he was smart, he could find a way to turn them back.

"Kagome... do not cry. I am not worthy of your tears. Nobody is. Don't ever forget that." She looked back up at him. He took his pams and rubbed them against her wet cheeks. She placed her hand on his, stared straight into his eyes. Golden orbs she could never forget. This was the man she loved.

"I never told you this Inuyasha... but in the moonlight... your hair looks like a field of stars, swimming in a vague ocean of silver. You must think I'm silly." She giggle silently but kept her eyes fixed on his. How she could get lost in those eyes so easily.

"I could never think that." Koga' hands were still on her face, feeling her smooth skin under his touch. She approached him once again. This time he didn't back off, he just lowered his face towards hers. He just couldn't fight the urge anymore.

He kept his hand firmly behind her neck, he could feel her pulse, stronger with each breath. He placed a sweet gentle kiss on her lips. Even if he wanted it, he couldn't take advantage of his position. Koga wasn't like that. He was decent and kindhearted. True, he had wanted, in the beginning, to make Inu look like a cold bastard, but instead he had given Kagome the kiss he had been longing to give her. But she didn't know it was his, not Inuyasha's. How that thought, that yanked him out of that tender kiss, made him week.

Kagome had waited for this moment, she savoured every second of it, but it hadn't been like she had expected. Somehow the kiss didn't feel complete. Like an empty space between them couldn't bring her to feel what Inuyasha felt. She questioned her dreams, what this really what she had been wishing for? She loved Inuyasha, but something made her feel like she was betraying him. The empty space, it had to be filled with the same passion that was between her and the man she loved. Was that because this man wasn't the man? But she knew she loved Inuyasha...

Koga stared at the ground, his hands on Kagome's shoulder. He had to tell her. She had to know. How could he not have told her yet? That morning, that same morning, that's when the words should have spilled out. Not when she declared her love for that mutt face.

It was like a silent whistle had called the dog-wolf-demon. He ran towards the two lovebirds. How his heart was aching when he saw that they had shared something that only he could have given to Kagome. 'How dare he! Kagome doesn't deserve this.'

Nobody spoke. Either too deep in thoughts or too shaken up by the emotion. Soon the moon was shining right down on them. Every little details in Inuyasha's face could be shown. The pain, the hate, the love.

-----------------------------------------

Night time had fallen at Kaede's hut. Sango was still alone, well almost. Kilala slept at her side. She couldn't quite figure out why Kilala had accepted Koga so easily. Dog and cat just don't mix. Then again Inuyasha and Kilala always got along fine. But today, he growled at her and she hissed back. There had to be a logical explanation that they could probably give her when they came back. Wherever they were.

Suddenly, black was all Sango could see. Someone's hand had been placed on her eyes. "What in the...?" Before she could continue her phrase, a full pink and red flower bouquet was placed in front of her. "What? Who?"

"We knew you would like them. Pink for sweetness, red for strength." Miroku winked at Shippo.

"Aww... that's so nice of you." Sango got up, pecked Shippo on the cheek.

"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Miroku leaned his cheek towards her.

"Oh you're right." She gave Kaede a help with her bags. "Let me help you with that Lady Kaede."

"Oh thank you dear Sango."

Miroku sweatdropped. "I think I deserve something, do I not?" Sango put the bags she was holding down. She leaned to his cheek and she was about to leave a little kiss... Miroku turned around and grabbed her in a fierce kiss. It sure as hell beat the holds he made on her once in a while. He smiled widely at her.

Sango turned red. From anger or shyness... -SLAP- "Don't you ever try that again MONK! HENTAI!" ... from anger! She carried her bags inside, followed by Kaede who just smiled happily at Shippo who was laughing hysterically.

Miroku tapped his new bump on the side of his head. "It was worth it. She tasted like strawberries."

"Isn't that sweet..." A cold female voice made Shippo jump. "Did I scare you little demon?' She chuckled.

---------------------------------------

Kagome recognized that face. Koga's face, still not fully his. As she was about to turn away to see those features from up close. Inuyasha wiped a tear before it came down and ran as fast as he could at Koga.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!", tears still forming in his eyes. But he made the strongest attempt to keep them there. No sign of weakness was going to come out of him. Not here, not now!

They rolled over, they had been close to a cliff. They landed as they began, the real Inuyasha on top of the real Koga.

"GET OFF ME DOG-SHIT!!! I DIDN'T TOUCH HER!!!" Koga lied. He was already too shaken up to deal with Inuyasha's rage.

"YOU LIAR!!! I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU!!!YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER!!" Inuyasha just slammed his upper body onto the ground. Koga still had his body, he couldn't destroy him. He would be stuck in this wolf body.

Kagome was still up on the hill. She was confused, all the things she was hearing just didn't make any sense. Koga saying that Inuyasha took advantage of her, Inuyasha calling Koga dog-shit. Something was up. She slid down the muddy cliff. "STOP IT!"

Koga was now on top of Inuyasha, threatening to use his claws. Inuyasha tried his best to keep him away without damaging his part of the trade.

"INUYASHA! SIT!" -THUMP- Inuyasha looked up at her. She fumed. Koga just spit out the dirt he had swallowed. Leaves still resting on his head. "Now that I have your attention.. Might I ask what is happening?" She tapped her foot. She wasn't that dumb! Something was surely going on.

-----------------------------------

Miroku jumped to his feet. Sango came out, having heard an uninvited voice. "What do you want Kikyo?" He placed a hand in front of Sango, who had her boomerang out, ready to hit.

"Put your toy away. I'm not here to see either of you." She looked around, no. They weren't here. "Where are they?"

Shippo behind Sango, Sango kept still by Miroku. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't try to fool me. Where have they gone?" Her white skin was even more scarier than usual. The stars light really didn't make her look prettier like it did to other women.

"We don't know..." right then a loud cry could be heard. A wolf's cry. Kikyo disappeared. She really had the hang of this vanishing thing.

"We should go... Shippo stay here." He nodded as he saw Sango change into her exterminator clothes. Kilala changing into big Kilala. They jumped on her back and headed towards the previous cry. They had to arrive before Kikyo, not that the thought they could, but they would try.

----------------------------

Koga had just pulled Inuyasha's tail, well his own tail actually. Inuyasha hadn't been able to keep himself from letting out a big howl.

"What did you that for?" Inuyasha snapped back at Koga.

"I just..."

"Stop it! Will somebody just tell me what's happening? You're both acting weird! You're hiding something and I want to know what it is!! NOW!!" As Kagome was about to walk towards them, Kikyo appeared right in front of her, sending Kagome flying a couple of feet from there.

"KAGOME!!" Inuyasha ran as quick as he could. He caught her as she fell. He had placed his body to smoothen the fall. Therefore, Kagome was lying on top of him.

She looked back to the fake Inuyasha. He hadn't even moved. Surely she knew Inuyasha would try to save her, he had done it so many times before. But not this time, why? Koga had caught her, not him. She was truly confused. 'How could two people exchange personalities like.... personalities?!' She glared at Koga, who by the way was still under her... She couldn't see the Koga she knew. It almost felt like it was somebody else.

"INUYASHA – KAGOME!!" Sango's voice could be heard by miles. "KIKYO... SHE'S BACK!!" her voice came stronger, they weren't far now.

Inuyasha took Kagome off of him and placed her gently beside where they had been. "Look at me. Are you alright?" She was speechless. Inuyasha touched the cut on her forehead. A tingle in Kagome's stomach made her twitch. That feeling. The same she had gotten when she first saw Inuyasha. It was unmistakably the same.

"Inuyasha, is that you?" He backed away. At that moment, in some bizarre way, Kagome thought that maybe Inuyasha was somewhere in Koga's body, but how? He looked at her, opened in mouth...

"There are too many distractions here." Kikyo placed her hands, pam to pam and Koga, Inuyasha and herself disappeared.

Miroku and Sango arrived, too late by the looks of things. Kagome was sitting one the bottom of the hill, no Koga or Inuyasha in sight. Where had they gone?

Ok I know that this chapter isn't as long as the other ones. It's just that I have a lot of homework and my computer's going bezerk on me..
