I'll put in author notes later
CHAPTER 2# ..........HAUNTED...A GHOST STORY
Kagome was stunned, that boy had yet again disappeared.
None the less, that wasn't the only reason to have an astonished expression on.
It also seemed that she was the only one within 100 mile radiance, of where she herself was standing... all alone.
"Hello!! BOY! Where the hell did you go!!!?
Kagome did a 360, looking up in all the trees.
He couldn't have just disappeared...that was impossible....right?!
She looked back up into the tree where she last saw him, something shiny caught her eye. It was hair, a few strands of long silvery hair, that was stuck to a branch, swaying in the wind.
Everything else went blank as kagome focused on the dancing hair.
"Their so pretty...and shiny...I want them..." (Said with big sparkly eyes.)
She looked the tree up and down, deciding where it would be easiest to start climbing. She grabbed the lowest branch with both arms, and then she swung her legs up, and wrapped them around the branch.
In this position blood started rushing to her head, and she though; "what ever you do Kagome…don't let go!"
Using some upper body strength, Kagome up righted herself on the branch, she them began to crawl toward the trunk of the tree for support.
A bit reluctant to stand , Kagome wrapped her arms around the trunk, and searched for a foot hold. She let her foot slip in between two smaller branches and pushed up, quickly reaching up she grasped for the higher branch over head.
Doing a strained pull up Kagome found her self sitting on the same branch that the hairs were on. On the very tip of the branch, that hovered nearly 20 feet above ground…
She straddled the branch and used her arms to drag her self toward the edge.
The further out she went, the narrower her path got. The wind blew, the branch swayed, and Kagome let out a small shriek, clinging tighter to her branch.
She was almost there, just an arm's length away … Kagome then took a moment to look at the ground below. Her eyes widened, and her fingernails, dug into the wood.
"Common Kag you're so close...don't let go now!"
Kagome practically laid down on the branch, and reached out as far as she could get. The wind made the hairs sway to- and- fro from her hands. She managed to wrap her fingers around the dancing hairs, and tugged them from the branch.
She quickly wound the hairs securely around her fingers, and pushed herself back to the center of the trunk. She clinged to the branch, as she let her legs slide below her. Lowering herself onto the branch below, Kagome searched for something else to hold onto.
She clutched the branch, as she lowered herself, to where her feet were daggling
5ft above the ground. Kagome took a deep breath, prepared herself, and let go of the branch, to fall into a pile of crunchy leaves.
"Well then, it wasn't that bad..." she sat up, and brushed the stray leaves from her hair. With her back resting against the tree, Kagome unwound the hairs from her fingers to examine them.
"..2..3..4..5" she straightened out the five hairs, pulling them with her index, and thumb. Holding them up to the setting sun to admire their shine....wait, the setting sun!
"Kuso!! I didn't know I spent this much time out here! Okaa-san's going to kill me, I was suppose to help with dinner!"
Kagome pushed herself up from the pile of leaves, and bolted down the long pathway, toward home.
As she ran, the golden eyes followed her.
As Kagome open the back door to her house, the blast of cool air from the newly installed air conditioner hit her face; making her bangs go flying.
"Ahh, cool, refreshing air conditioned air, it's a sweet-sweet thing.
Mom! Souta...Grandpa? Is anybody home?"
Kagome wandered around her empty house, searching for some thing existent.
"Where could they have gone?-
Hmmm, I'm parched, even thought I can't find my family doesn't mean I should dehydrate myself. I bet they probably went back into town, to the supermarket."
Sure enough as Kagome went to open the fridge, she found a note taped to the door;
;;Kagome-honey, Souta, Grandpa, and I
Went into town to get some essentials.
we should be back in an hour, or so.
Love mom xoxo.;;
"See I was right." Kagome reassured herself, as she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge, and began to chug it. The suction of her gulps, made the bottle compress in the center, she stopped drinking only to breath. She then threw the bottle into the recycling bin.
As she turned walking to the living room, she lifted her arms to retie her hair.
At once she noticed the sweat stains that had formed under her arms
"Ewww! Gross, I need to go take a shower!"
She headed toward her room, up the stairs. Grabbing a fresh pair of clothes, and walking into the bathroom, that was connected to her room.
"Dammit! I always forget my goddamm underwear!"
Kagome wrapped a towel around her wet form, and opened the door to her room.
The steam billowed out after her, and when her warm wet skin, met the cool air, she got goose bumps along her arms.
She adjusted her towel and bent down to rummage through her draws for some clean underwear, when she saw something out the corner of her eye.
She looked at the reflection in the full length mirror that was beside her dresser.
On her bed, there he was. His long white hair spilled around him, and he was leaning back on Kagome's bed, just watching her with a smile.
"What the hell? Why is he smiling?"
The Kagome realized with a blush, with the squatting position she was in, she was exposing a nicely angled view of her rear.
"Ahhhh! You henti!!" she screamed, trying to cover herself up better.
"How the hell did you get in here? Why are you here? MOM! ARE YOU HOME, THERE'S A PERV IN MY RO-"
Her cry for help was cut off when the boy leaped up with super human speed. He pushed her up against a wall, and covered her mouth with his hand.
"Shhh, don't-say-a-word, even if they do come, they can't see me anyways."
He bent his head, bringing his lips closer to her ear.
"Only you can see me."
He inhaled...'cucumber-melon'. But he pushed the soap scent aside to truly catch her scent. Her soft musk was mixed with wild flowers and slight arousal.
"What do you mean only I can see you?!"
Kagome noticed the boy's eyes flash amusement as he answered her; "wench, you haven't figured it out yet."
"That doesn't help! All I know is that I'm being held up against my will, by some strange boy that broke into my room...who you are, can I at least get a name?"
" You don't know my name! No wonder you're not afraid!"
"Pfft! Afraid of you! Why should I be?"
He began to tighten his grip on her shoulders. "You had better fear me, for I am the infamous Inuyasha, son of the lord of the eastern lands."
(I know it's western, but unless Virginia finds some way to connect with California, it's eastern!)
"Inuyasha?...inu- hey doesn't that mean dog in Japanese? Hah! You're named after a dog, well it does kinda match with those cute puppy ears you have.....
Wait.....HOLY WAX! How did I not notice those before?!?!"
And with this new discovery Kagome had her fingers wrapped around Inuyasha's ears, and was massaging them in such a way, that she was certain she heard him purr as he brought his head closer to her's as if to nuzzle her cheek.
Her giggling brought him out of his trance.
"What the-! Get away from me you wench!"
Instinctively he flinched as Kagome tried to once again grasp his ears.
"I said leave me alone!"
"No wait! Come back I was just trying to-" But as soon as Kagome took that first step toward Inuyasha, he covered his ears with his hands and disappeared in to a fine mist of nothingness. Leaving Kagome alone in her room.
She clutched her towel tighter, and contemplated on calling out his name.
"Inu-…..no. 'sigh' I think I'm going crazy."
She turned around, grabbed a clean pair of underwear, and headed back to her bathroom.
As soon as Kagome had closed the door Inuyasha reappeared on her bed.
"Aaarrrrrgh! Baka, Baka, Baka! How could you let a simple human wench touch you like that!?......but she reminds me so much of....never mind."
he sighed once again, and leaned back, resting his head on her pillows.
"Oh but thank Kami I still have my sense of smell."
As he buried his head into her pillow, he closed his eyes, deeply inhaled, and left with a faint smile on his face.
As Kagome lay on her bed later that night, trying to fall asleep.
She turned face first into her pillow, and was engulfed in the scent of the woods, and masculinity. She then gave her pillow a strange look, but nuzzled back into it, as she drifted of into a deep slumber.
