Winter's Night: Chapter 7
~ Kagome's POV ~
I ran to the building, having Inuyasha wait near a tree by the pond for me. I rented two pairs of skates and bought a hat for Inuyasha. I can't believe I almost forgot about his ears. Oh well. I quickly paid the man with some money I had in my pocket, and ran back over to Inuyasha. I pulled the blue and white hat on his head and giggled at his annoyed look.
"What the hell is this thing, it's making my ears itch!" he yelled and pulled the hat off. I sighed and pulled the hat from his hand placing it back on his head, only not as far down as I had before.
"It's a hat to keep your head, and ears warm. It's also to keep your ears out of sight, ok?" he nodded and I sighed again. "Here." I said handing him a pair of ice skates. He gave me a confused look and I couldn't help but giggle, he was just too cute when he looked at me like that. I motioned for him to sit on a bench near the tree and I knelt down in front of him. "Give me your foot."
He blinked a few times but obeyed after a minute. I slipped the skate on his foot and pulled the laces tight and tied it. After, I did the same with his other foot and then put my own on. I stood up and held my hand out to help him up.
"Feh, I can stand on my own." He said standing up, though as soon as he had finished speaking, he was on his butt in the snow. I laughed and held my hand out to him. He took it and I pulled him up to his feet, him glaring at me the whole time.
"It's not funny." He pouted.
"I-I'm sorry." I said once I had my laughing under control. I held onto his hand and led him towards the ice. I stepped out onto it, and waited while he hesitantly stepped out onto it.
"Now give me your other hand." I said. He reached out and I took his other hand in mine. I smiled at his unsure expression and he smiled back nervously. I slowly started skating backwards, holding both his hands, slowly pulling him with me. He blinked and looked a little scared once we started moving, going further out on the ice. I stopped once we got near the middle and let go of his hands. He looked at me confused and I skated backwards away from him. I circled a couple times and stopped a few meters away from him to see if he was watching. He looked like a lost puppy that had no idea what was going on. I smiled and skated back over to him.
"Need some help?" I asked stopping in front of him.
"Damn straight I need help! I've never done this before." I narrowed my eyes.
"Well if you're going to yell at me, then I might as well leave you out here." I noticed his face pale at this and I took his hands in mine once again. "Come on, you know I wouldn't do that." He smiled sheepishly and I started skating backwards again. "Ok, now just move one foot in front of the other, just like if you were walking, only let your foot slide a little bit in between each step."
He did as I said and after about ten minutes of instructions, he seemed a little more confident. He seemed to be enjoying himself actually, and he was even smiling.
"Ok now it's your turn to do it on your own." I said, releasing his hands and skating back away from him. He hesitated but slowly moved forward. He was almost to me, note, almost to me.
His skate hit a stray piece of ice and he fell to the ice, taking me with him because he was already close to me. We hit the ice and laid there for a minute before we both burst out laughing. I noticed a few people on the rink stop and stare at us before continuing on their way. I sat up and slowly rose to my feet, still laughing. I wiped my eyes and held out my hand to Inuyasha. He took it and I pulled him up onto his feet.
"Thanks." He mumbled and I smiled at him. I kept his hand in mine and began skating off, this time with him skating beside me. It was so peaceful. The stars were shining brightly above us, the music softly playing in the background, the warmth of our hands together, it was perfect, as if we were the only ones on the ice. We skated for about an hour, until people started leaving.
"Alright skaters, it's about closing time and this is the last song we'll be playing tonight. Once the song is over please return the skates and be careful going home. Enjoy." The man at the building turned off the intercom and a slow steady beat poured from the speakers. I smiled and stopped on the ice.
"Kagome?" I heard Inuyasha whisper in confusion. I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Let's skate closer, just this once." I whispered. He smiled softly down at me and I felt him wrap his arms around my waist. I rested my head against his chest and slowly we started to skate across the ice, gliding together, as one.
*~ I call you up
You pick up
You call my bluff
On the card to love
You hold too close
Your hands to your chest
I can read your eyes
But I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
Wherever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel
You...
I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart
Won't you please give in?
I may be strong
But I want you back again
When you're not here Love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here Love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright but still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?
Whatever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel, you... ~*
The song continued to play softly when I heard a soft voice sing with the music. I lifted my head from Inuyasha's chest and looked up at him. His lips moved, softly singing the song, his voice smoothly matching that of the singer's only his was better. He opened his eyes a little and smiled down at me. I felt him move a hand up behind my head and he gently pushed my head back against his chest. I smiled and closed my eyes, relaxing against him, just enjoying the moment.
*~ Watch the deck
Count your cards
Makes no sense
That I'm always losing,
When you're gone...
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Wherever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel, you...
When you're gone... ~*
The song faded and I sighed. I pulled away from Inuyasha and taking his hand in mine, skated over to the edge of the rink to the bench we were at before. I slipped off the skates and put on my boots while Inuyasha sat down and took off his own skates. I took both pairs and ran to the building returning them to the guy. I ran back over to Inuyasha, who was now standing near the tree by the path that lead to the park exit and back towards the shrine.
"Ready to go?" I asked when I reached him. Suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me and his warm lips on mine. I was surprised at first, but responded by leaning up towards him to deepen the kiss some. I felt him pull away and my lips were left tingling from the feel of his on mine. He smiled at me and pulled away, leaving one arm around my waist.
"We better get going." He whispered as he started walking, with me beside him, his arm firmly around my waist. I smiled and relaxed against him. The night had been perfect after we cleared up some misunderstandings. I looked up at him and he looked down at me, our eyes meeting.
"I love you Inuyasha." I whispered before looking away, and I felt his arm squeeze me gently.
"I love you too, Kagome."
