Chapter 15: Enthralled
InuYasha knew he had to be quiet when climbing out of the well, in case anyone was right near it. So his dog ears came in handy to find out if anyone was there, he didn't detect anyone so he jumped out. It was dark inside the building, but there were tiny shimmers of light that crept through the ceiling.
He put one foot on the first step, and suddenly the door slid open. InuYasha panicked, and tried to flee out of the person's sight.
"Shit!" InuYasha mumbled, and tried to dart back into the well.
He heard light footsteps and a thought hit him: If it's Kagome, she'll be jumping down here.
I am truly an idiot
But the scent was different than Kagome, yet InuYasha couldn't quite place it's owner.
"Buyo, there's no one in here"
Ohhh, it was Sota
InuYasha felt relieved that it wasn't Kagome, but still, if Sota saw him he could let it slip to Kagome that he was here, and InuYasha couldn't risk that. Abruptly he heard Buyo jump on the edge of the well and looked down. InuYasha did a "shoo!" motion with his hands, which caused Buyo to meow.
"What's that Buyo?" Sota asked mischievously, walking slowly closer.
InuYasha started to climb halfway up the well, to push Buyo off the ledge. He didn't focus on what he was doing, and before he knew it, he looked up and Buyo's little face was right in his. Though it startled him, he didn't jump back or make any noises. Instead his hand crept over the edge and nudged Buyo softly. Buyo meowed then purred. InuYasha sighed, then this time he didn't nudge, he pushed. Buyo fell off.
There was a slight noise, which caused Sota to hurry over, "Buyo! What's going on? Oh...You fell off...You're so clumsy!"
InuYasha laughed silently. Just then his hand lost grip of the edge. He once again panicked, his claws scratched at the wood, trying to keep some sort of hold. All this caused his feet to lose grasp as well.
"AAAHHHH!!!" InuYasha yelled as he fell backward.
"What was that!?" Sota screamed.
"Shit-fuck!" InuYasha yelled.
"InuYasha?" Sota questioned, leaning over the well's edge, "Did you come to visit Kagome?"
"Um, something like that" He answered as he jumped out of the well again, "Listen, Sota can you not tell Kagome that you saw me?"
"A man to man promise, y'mean?"
"Yeah. Man to man promise. So, you promise?"
Sota smiled, and looked up at InuYasha admirably, "I promise"
"Good" InuYasha responded patting Sota on the top of the head, "Where is she anyway?"
"In her bedroom. I think she may be taking a nap"
InuYasha nodded and slid the door open, then left the well. He ran to a tree that was in front of Kagome's window and launched himself up onto the branch that was equal height with her room. And he sat there, and stared in at her room.
Kagome was laying on the bed, not yet asleep. She was staring up at the ceiling, and she seemed to not be able to get comfy. She kept tossing and turning, but finally decided to sleep on her stomach. Which was her normal sleep-way.
InuYasha's eyes reflected a calm happiness as he watched her sleep. He kind of felt frivolous. His heart beat quicker as he thought of her, her smile, her presence...his imagination wandered off...and he thought of all the things he could tell her, and ask her. If someone was to look at him, they would say he was practically beaming, with his sweet little smile, and glitter in his eye...kind of sickening for the love-haters.
Like InuYasha could help it. The more time he spent with her or thinking of her, he seemed to fall deeper and deeper. He didn't stop his thoughts anymore. The ones that once had made him say 'Feh'. They now made him grin. He liked it too. No longer did he hate the feeling he was experiencing, which made him even happier.
InuYasha knew he had to look like a love-struck fool. Feh. He didn't care, he felt enraptured. He sighed a tiny sigh, and leaned his head back against the tree, and focused on a daydream.
