Kind Lady
Chapter 5: Opponent

He watched as she laughed and skipped out into the cold night air with her friend smiling and he glanced at his own friend, who also had a dreamy smile on his face. "I can't wait! Hey, Shizo! Sango and me are going home! Maybe you could come by tomorrow?" He blinked and shook his head, looking aver at the raven-haired beauty.

"Wha-what'd you say?" he asked as she laughed and went back over to him.

She tapped his nose with a small smile and stuck her tongue out at him. "I said, Sango's taking me home. Do you want to meet up at my house tomorrow? You promised to come and help shovel. And it is after all," she stopped and backed away, lifting her arms up over her head, "Going to snow soon!" She looked over at Miroku and frowned. "You can come too if you want Miroku. Though it'd be smart to keep your distance from Gramps this time." The monk nodded and went straight back to staring at Sango as she glared at InuYasha.

"I'm sure we won't need Shizo's help, Kagome. Really…" she said bluntly and Kagome huffed.

"Stop being mean, Sango! He can come if he wants! Or I'll demand that Miroku comes! Right, Miroku?" Kagome looked back at Miroku and he nodded his head vigorously.

"Of course, Kagome! I'd love to come! And to see you, my dear, Sango!" he answered and purred the last part. Sango made a face, but grimly nodded her head. InuYasha chuckled and received an evil glare from Sango. He instantly shut up and stepped behind Kagome, peeking over in safety. Kagome giggled and shook her head.

She stuck her hand in her pocket and froze. She blinked and pulled her pocket out, turning up nothing. Going to the other, she turned up nothing once again. She let out a squeak and patted her back pockets for nothing. Curious as ever, InuYasha tapped her shoulder and she turned around, giving him a scared look. "What's wrong?" he asked and she bit her bottom lip.

"I-I can't find my wallet! It has my money in it and everything!" she said, panic in her voice. He frowned and glanced over at Miroku as he tried to start a conversation with Sango as she waited for Kagome. "What am I going to do?" she asked quietly and glanced at Sango also.

He frowned again and then smiled. "It's either at the rink or theater. We can go look at the rink, and Miroku can ask his family to look out for it. What does it look like?"

"It's light green with a frog on it and has seven thousand yen in it!" Her voice got higher as she panicked and he flattened his ears to keep out some of the sound. "Oh… I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get loud," she said and folded her hands together in front of her. He smiled and shook his head.

"It's ok. I'll go tell Miroku. Then, he can take Sango home why'll we go search for that wallet! How's that?" She nodded her head and smiled. He smiled back and went over to Miroku, slapping his shoulder to get his attention.

The monk jumped and looked over at him with surprise. "Inu- Shizo! What is it?" he asked.

InuYasha growled and clenched his teeth together. "I need you to go back in and tell your family to look out for a wallet. Kagome can't find hers and it might be here or the rink. I'm going to take her there and you can walk Sango home after this. Okay?" He glared at him and Miroku nodded quickly. "Good. Now, it's green with a frog on it. And it has seven thousand yen it. Let's hope its hope no one finds it…"

"You got that right, Shizo! You'd better find her wallet or I'll kill you!" Sango added for just him to hear. He rolled his eyes and just as he turned around, she let out a low growl that sounded onlyinhuman. He froze and blinked.

"Did she just call me an idiot? In demon language?" He glanced back at her as she followed Miroku back inside, but pushed it away. He didn't have time to think about that now. He went over and held an arm out to Kagome. She giggled and took, letting him led her down the street. "Miroku went back in and told them what it looks like. Now, we just need to go and see if we can find it at the rink. Let's hope it in one of the spots," he said and she nodded.

"Really hope so. Mama would kill me if she found out I lost all of that yen," she said and sighed heavily. He smirked and pulled her a little closer. Feeling an odd tingle, his smirk turned to a warm smile. Now if only she wasn't so innocent! Letting out a mental grumble, he let more troubled thoughts brew in his mind. Well, if he could keep his doubled life from everyone, and Miroku kept his big mouth shut, it'd go perfectly! Then he'd be a happy, rich, male, not to mention hot, single! He could have jumped with glee. They quickly crossed a street and made they're way to the entrance to the gardens.

Instead of taking the long way like before, they cut through the trees and hurried over to the skate rental trailer. Kagome stepped forward, nervously, and cleared her throat, catching the man sitting there's attention. He looked up at her, blinking, and smirked.

"What can I do for you, little lady?" he asked, leaned forward. Feeling a over whelming need to get that man away from Kagome, he stepped up next to her with a scowl on his face.

"She lost her wallet. Have you found anything?" he growled and narrowed his eyes a bit more. The man scooted back with a stutter and nodded his head vigorously. He bent down, keeping an eye on InuYasha, and pulled out a brown cardboard bow, setting it out on the counter. InuYasha snorted and looked down into it, feeling his anger slip at the sight of the tiny green pouch. Snatching it up, he took Kagome's hand and led her away from the trailer, setting her down in a chair and holding the wallet out to her. "This it?" he asked and her face light up with glee.

She took it and hugged it to her chest. "Yes! This is it! Oh, thanks you, Shizo!" She jumped up and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. It took him a few seconds to register what'd happened, but it still clicked into his brain as… Not right! This wasn't right! He was lying to her! He'd break this sweet girl just for his needs! He closed his eyes with a scowl and pushed the guilty thoughts away, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her tighter against himself. He felt her stiffen, then relax against him and he smiled. At least she was beginging to trust him. Even if it only lasted a little bit.

Her cinnamon and sugar scent washed over him, calming him to the point when he just wanted to sleep. Lowering his head to her shoulder, he breathed deeply, taking in her sweet smell and making her giggle. He smirked and a let out a puff of air on her neck, making her giggle again. She was ticklish on her neck? He brought his hands up, running them over her back lightly, feeling her shiver, and let them lay on her neck. Taking them and massage her skin lightly, he earned a sigh of pleasure and a tiny giggle. Just as he was about to do a little more, she pulled away, ducking her obviously read face to look at her feet. He chuckled and took her hand, pulling over to the long trail leading through the man made forest.

"So, I never really got to hear about your family, Kagome. What are they like?" he asked, her shyness fading away, though her occasional peeks of embarrassment still happened.

"They are the best people ever. There's Gramps. He loves history and takes care of the shrine. Usually, when people come to pray, he has his stand of little trinkets open and tells people about lots of different things. Like how our well came to be and the sacred tree near by or any random interesting historic story. Do you know any?" With a shake of his head, she smiled and went on. "When I was little, he'd always tell me my favorite story. It's called the Maiden of the Jewel. It's about a beautiful maiden that suddenly shows up in a tiny village wearing odd clothes. But the village had a great importance.

"It was the village where a precious jewel had been burnt with its last protector, their ashes on a small shire atop a hill close to the miko's hut. Well, the jewel was called the Shikon no Tama and could grant your wildest desires, but only one. The miko protected it from the grasps of demons and evil bandits and men who sought it. Well, the girl was first mistaken as a fox demon and captured. She was taken to the head miko, the deceased miko's younger sister. She recognized her to be the miko's reincarnation sent back to once again protect the jewel from its most dangerous enemy. The Inu hanyou that had killed the past miko. He sought the jewel to become a full demon, but failed and was sealed to a tree now known as the sacred tree.

"After hearing the tale, the girl spent time at the village, trying to figure a way to get back to her world. That night a vile demon attacked the village looking for the jewel. In an attempt to rescue the villagers, she ran to the forest she had came from, passing an old well willed with bones and finally fell at the base of the very tree the hanyou was sealed to. But he wasn't asleep anymore. He was better then before in fact. After a fumble with the demonchasing, her the jewel was ripped from her body and she found herself in a spot of release the hanyou or be eaten alive. Taking the better chance, she pulled the arrow holding him to the tree and he killed the demon with ease.

"But then he came after her, wanting the jewel for himself. The old head miko put a subduing spell on him and at her word he would be paralyzed. After that she was safe around him. In another scramble to protect the jewel it was accidentally shattered, the shards flying off all over Japan. The hanyou and the girl had to work together to find the shards before they happened into the wrong hands. And that's the end!"

Surprised, InuYasha blinked and shook his head. He'd been so wrapped in her words that he hadn't noticed she stopped. "That's all? It seems like the story goes on," he said and looked over at her.

"We don't know the rest. There's no records of it in the scrolls Gramps has collected in his old shed and we're the only ones that knows of the story. But it did happen and was centered around the well and the scared tree, which are still in our shrine!" He chuckled and squeezed her hand lightly, watching as her face tinted pink with embarrassment.

"There has to be more then just your Gramps. What about your mom?" She smiled brightly ahead at the mention of her mother and laughed. "What's so funny?" he asked, leaning down to get a better look at her face. He liked it better when she smiled or had that shy little girl look.

She took in a deep breath, but let it out with another laugh. "My mama! Oh, she's the best ever! She's a kind, beautiful, generous, homely, down to earth kind of woman. Most people say I'm like her in not just looks, but personality. I think that's to much of an honor," she said and laughed again. Her eyes found their way up and locked with his as a genuine smile grew on both of their faces.

"I think you're better then her, if you ask me," he said, stopping and taking her other hand. Now was the perfect time to turn on the romance. He'd charm her in no time! Her face was red with embarrassment again, and she looked away, pulling her hands out of his, surprising him. This was going to take a why'll with her. She wasn't like other girls. The innocent naïve girl that had never had a boyfriend or been kissed. He mentally sighed and watched as she peeked up at him nervously. "I-"

"Kagome!" They both looked down the path to see a certain black hair girl, if you could call her that, running up in a tight short winter coat and a mini skirt, knee length socks and pale pink snow boots. "What are you doing here? And with a boy," she said stopping in-between the two. He forced down a growl and snarl that threatened to come out and watched as Kagome hugged her tightly.

"Kikyo! I was just picking up my wallet. I left it here by accident," Kagome said and laughed. "But why are you here?" Kikyo flipped her long straight midnight black hair over her shoulder and smiled lightly, it was obviously fake, with thin ruby red painted lips. Her dark grey eyes had a thick line of eyeliner around them with dark blue eye shadow above them. She was oddly tall and had an hourglass shaped body. A little too shapely if you ask him.

She sniffed and rubbed her nose before answering, "Auntie Koto told me you were down here with some friends. I was going to see if you wanted to come and get something to eat with me, but I see your busy," she said a sly smile over taking her face.

"Oh, no! I can go, but is it alright if Shizo comes with us?" Kagome answered, cheeks pink once again.

Kikyo eyed him with her smile growing to a creepy smirk, nodding her head. "As long as I get to take him off your hands," she said and laughed.

"Aren't you still upset about InuYasha?" Kagome asked shyly, blinking owlishly. Kikyo laughed harder at that and waved her hand.

"Why would I be sad over the that idiot! Kagome, there's guys in this world that are so dumb; they'll believe anything you tell them. Now, if you two can keep a secret, I'll tell you. I was the one who broke up with him. He was cheating on my all the same, but I figured it out on my own, though he left some obvious things out. Dumb ass, left used condoms on his room floor for heaven's sake!"

Kagome gasped and looked over at him, eyes mixed with hurt, surprise, and worst of all, fear. He pushed away the scowl he wanted to have, and bit his bottom lip, trying to get a sorrowful look on his face instead. Inside he was ranting and raving, demon blood boiling, ready to break and tear the bitch to pieces. She was lying! And to his future mate! He stopped, face turning red with a blush. He'd just called Kagome his future mate and he'd only known the girl for two days! "Let's go then I guess. I'm sure he'll avoid you at school now for sure," she replied softly, turning her hurt gaze to the ground and following her lying friend with a slower step then before. InuYasha bit down a growl as he heard the other chuckle under her breath and glance back at him with a lustful glint in her eye. He wanted to gag himself.

They went through the holiday shopper crowded sidewalks and forced their way into a Wac Donalds. Kikyo pulled him over to a booth why'll Kagome stood in line to get food, before he could even offer. She sat down next to him and leaned in closer to him. He let out a soft growl and she giggled.

With a seductive voice, she whispered, "What was that? A puppy love growl? I love the ears. Is the rest of you that cute?" He was about to push her away when Kagome came over, a tray full of food in her hands. Setting the tray down, she took a seat across from Kikyo, avoiding his eyes altogether. Not good… Trying to get out of the booth from Kikyo and over to Kagome, the girl stopped him and kept a tight grip on his knee, racking her nails along his leg. He felt a bail rise in his throat and he swallowed, causing a lump to form. Why did he feel so guilty? Was it Kagome?

"Duh!" his mind yelled and he felt the urge to pummel it. But he couldn't do that. It was his freaking mind! He was going crazy… That was it!

"Now, how did you two meet?" Kikyo asked, snatching up a burger and peeled the wrapping off, taking a bite. She looked like a ravenous crow with the look in her eyes and that hair of hers. It made him want to strangle her. Just as he was about to say something, Kagome cut in, finally saying something since they'd left the gardens.

"At the bar!" she exclaimed, a genuine smile curving on her lips. If he'd had a camera, he'd have taken millions of pictures of her beautiful face by now. He mentally smacked himself. "Stupid! Can't like her that way!" he thought and glanced at Kikyo, her smirk disappearing as her friend went into a detailed description of how they'd met, minus the two times he'd almost kissed her. "And he had suggested to Miroku that my wallet-" Kikyo stopped her with a snort and that she covered up with a cough, standing up and bumping into her drink, knocking it over and spilling it's contents onto Kagome.

She instantly jumped up too with a gasp and grabbed the nearest napkin. It was the one Kikyo had used. As soon as she rubbed it on her white pants, a long red smear followed its path, a stain that most likely wouldn't come out. InuYasha grabbed a hand full of napkins from the dispenser and handed them to her, glaring at Kikyo. The conniving bitch! He pushed his way out of the booth, almost knocking Kikyo over, and grabbed Kagome's hand, pulling her over to the bathrooms. And just as quick as he could, pulled them both into the women's bathroom.

Kagome gave a gasp, blinking at him as he wetted a napkin, kneeling down and rubbing it on her ruined pants. "Shizo! Y-your not aloud in here! It's the woman's bathroom!" she exclaimed, face painted with a faint blush. He snorted and continued rubbing on the cloth. After a few minutes, she hesitantly began on her other leg, leaning down dangerously close to him. With her chest a mere inches from his face, he felt his loins give an uncomfortable throb. Oh, dear god, did he hope his pants wear baggy enough to cover it up until they left. Feeling his face warm up, he stopped and stood up, backing away a little as a little girl came in.

The girl let out a shriek and ran out screaming. He wanted to kick the kid's ass for intruding on a perfect moment to get that kiss from Kagome, but he'd just have to try again some other time. When they were perfectly alone and he surprised her beyond belief, so she couldn't stop him like before. "I guess you can handle it by yourself now. I should get out of here before someone comes and kicks me out," he said, looking away and scratching the back of his head. It made him nervous to be in here, with Kagome that is. She shyly nodded her head, and peeked up at him, a small smile gracing her lips. "I'll be outside waiting with Kikyo." She flinched at the sound of the bitch's name and he frowned. He'd ask her next time he got her alone, other then in the girl's bathroom that was.

With a peek out the door, he slipped out, walking over to the booth the three had been sitting at. He spotted Kikyo finishing off the food, including Kagome's. He growled to himself, and took a seat across from her, sitting close to the window. "What were you two doing in there?" she asked after a little, giving him a fake hurt look.

He snorted and waved her off with a hand. "Nothing. I just helped her clean her pants up a little, after you knocked that pop on her. Just hope she doesn't get sick from going out in the cold with wet pants."

The girl gave a gasp and pouted out her thin lips. "It was an accident! Why are you blaming me?" she asked, slamming a hand down on the table.

He narrowed his eyes, and looked at her with a smirk. "Because, Kinky Ho! I know what you did to InuYasha. You cheated on him and broke up with him in one of the most horrible ways possible. And he's going to get his revenge. And I'm going to help him in every possible way!" he hissed, watching as horror over took her face. "And I can tell little Kagome and all of her family about what you did. They do trust me after all." He leaned back with a grin, letting Kikyo panic.

"You wouldn't dare let her, would you?" she stuttered. "I'm her role model! She looks up to me! Y-you don't want to make me seem bad! A-and he pushed me to it! It was his entire fault! He never paid attention to me! That's why I did it! He pushed me into it!" With a shake of his head, he pointed over his shoulder, hearing the nearing footsteps of Kagome. She instantly froze as the girl sat down, looking over at InuYasha with surprise, but all together relived. "I have to go!" Kikyo suddenly said, getting up and putting her purse on her shoulder. "Bye!" And with that, she hurried out, leaving the two alone. Kind of.

InuYasha looked over at Kagome as she peeked out the window, watching her cousin, by what he thought, leave. "Shall we go?" he asked, startling her a bit as she whipped her head around to look at him. She nodded then looked away again. Pushing away the urge to just take her there and then, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the booth. A squeak of fright from her let him know that he had her surprised. As soon as they stepped out into the darkened street, a light snow began to come down, coating them both with flakes quickly. He tightened his grip on her hand and led her down the sidewalk. In his heart he felt that this was the perfect time to get a kiss from her. Right at the bottom of the huge set of steps in front of the shrine. Yea. That was it!

"Sh-Shizo?" Her voice was so soft that he almost didn't hear it with his enhanced hearing even. "I-I…. Thanks…!" she said a bit louder, looking up at him with a smile. He smiled back and nodded his head. "And I'm sorry if I ruined your evening." He blinked at that. Ruined? How would she ruin anything that happened around her?

He stopped, taking her other hand. He'd try the sweet approach again. Like at the gardens. Maybe she wouldn't pull away this time. "How could you have ruined it? I had a great time!" he said, earning a blush from her quickly. "You could never ruin anything, no matter how hard you tried!" he said softly, leaning down a little, catching her fidgeting gaze. Her smoky greys widened and blinked, gaining a teary shine in the lamppost light a few feet away. She licked her lips, making his blood rush down in-between his legs and giving his member that last boost it needed to be up right completely. He wanted that tongue is his mouth! His demon blood howled as his lips came closer to hers, a mere inch away. And just as he was about to catch those full luscious pink lips with his…

"Get out of the way!"

He was shoved roughly into her, missing completely. His lips had somehow gotten to her cheek. He whirled around angrily, glaring at a police officer as he ran by, the faint figure of another man across the street and heading in the opposite direction. He let out a string of curses and turned back to Kagome to find her giggling. He blinked and frowned, crossing his arms across his chest in annoyance, looking to the side. "So much for giving her a good night kiss…" he grumbled, making sure it was low enough for her not to hear.

She giggled again and allowed a big smile to over come her face. "Good night, Shizo!" she said and stood up on her toes, placing a quick kiss on his cheek. He looked at her with wide eyes and she laughed, stepping back a little, her cheeks rosy with cold and a blush. "See you tomorrow!" He watched as she walked off, darkness covering her fading form as the snow came down harder. He smiled, laying a hand on his cheek to try and hold to warmth of her lips there. Maybe she wasn't as hard as he thought.

No longer aloud to show reviewers at all, so sorry. Review.
