Thank you KagomesPup for pointing out some things that I may have overlooked! I really really appreciate it!
Thanks a million Repentless Wind for your support and encouragement!
Kagome busied herself with her hair and forced a sweet smile on her skeptical face. Ok, so Miroku's plan seemed workable, until the monk had groped her and all thoughts of teamwork had flown out the window. Thing to remember: Never let Miroku get too close to you.
"But I could always try," Kagome whispered to no one in particular. She meant his plan, of course. This power of seduction sounded dangerous, but the girl from the future decided that if she didn't take it too far, then she would be ok. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? Inuyasha refused to talk with her, often times, he would run ahead of the gang.
"I've tried apologizing," Kagome mused. "But he won't listen and just huffs."
The girl slipped into a pretty yukata, one which Sango had gone out of her way to buy. It was a pretty red dress, simply adorned. There were flowery prints swirling all over the dress. According to Miroku, it was "Mmm..." which didn't necessarily mean a good thing.
Letting out a determined siigh, Kagome went in search of Inuyasha.
When she found him, he was sitting on a tree branch, not too high from the earth. She was hiding behind a tree and trying to quiet her breathing. He looked so majestic, his silver hair wiping from side to side in the gental breeze. At the same time, he looked sad.
Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and stepped out. "I-Inuyasha?" Oddly, her voice dind't sound like her own ordinary voice. Inuyasha's head didn't move, he continued to stare off into space. She spoke a little louder.
"Inuyasha?" his golden eyes turned to look at her, then his head followed the eyes movements. He hadn't spoken her name yet. Why hadn't he spoken her name? The silence was too difficult to take so Kagome stepped a little closer and called his name again. "Inuyasha?"
When he finally spoke, his voice sounded hoarse and cracked. "What do you want?" He still hadn't said her name. She felt like crying inside, weirdly enough, but held in those tears. Hey, at least he was speaking, right?
"I came to talk to you." She inched closer, and Inuyasha didn't object like he had before.
"Would you, would you come down from there?" her voice had taken on a huskier sound. Inuyasha gulped. He had never heard Kagome speak in this sort of way before. He was curious, his anger slowly turned to something which he was unfamiliar with. Was it a stirring of the senses?
"K-keh!" the hanyo stammered, leaning against the tree. Kagome continued to step closer until she had him pinned against the tree. Here goes nothing!
Kagome leaned her head in until her lips were nearly touching his puppy ears. Yes, she had to stand on her tippy toes, which nearly threw off the whole seduction thing with its strangeness. But Inuyasha was too caught up in the moment to tell.
What will Kagome say? That's in the next chapter! Lol.
