Chapter 24-Little Siblings...ugh!
"So you just kissed him right there?" Rin' face flushed as she looked over at Kagome before nodding. Sango laughed as she tried to form coherent sentences.
"I almost died in laughter." Sango said between huffs of laughter. Rin only glared at the hysterical girl before grabbing a pillow from her bed and throwing it at her. It skimmed Sango's head.
"So this all happened while I was sleeping?"
"Oh you mean while you and Inuyasha slept together?" Rin asked, passing her blush to Kagome, who was unwilling to receive it.
"Don't say it like that!"
"Why not, it's what you two were doing." Sango's tone was anything but innocent. A fire seemed to engulf Kagome's cheeks.
"Miroku is getting to you two! We were sleeping in the same bed, nothing more, and nothing less." Rin rolled her eyes as she looked over at Kagome, exhaustion from the situation reflecting in her eyes.
"Kagome, when are you going to tell us how you really feel about Inuyasha? We're all walking around it and tiptoeing over it like it's glass and will break with too much pressure. Why won't you just tell us how you feel about him and get it over with?" Kagome stole a glance out Sango's window, her eyes deep and searching. It was as if she was long to find the untold truth in the blue skies above.
"Rin, I wish I could tell you what I felt. I wish I could even understand what I'm feeling now, but everything is just so confusing between Kikyo and the accident and everything else in-between." Sympathy fell from the two friend's eyes, who were watching the unfocused girl.
"Well what do you think you are feeling? Or at least about Inuyasha?" Sango asked, the piece the plan slowly falling into place.
"He ju-" Kagome stopped when she head a knock on the door, causing her thoughts to shatter. Both Rin and Sango glared menacingly at the door, planning to kill whoever ruined their secret mission.
"Just ignore it Kagome, now what were you about to say?" Rin asked, her voice slowly losing its patience.
"Aren't you going to answer the door?" Kagome asked.
"No, it's not important." The second knock came faster than the first, causing Rin to mutter under her breath. "What do you want?"
"We want our room back!" A young voice caught the three girls off guard. A small look of confusion streamed across her face as she looked over at the other two girls, who looked like deer caught in headlights.
"What are they talking about? We're not in their room." Kagome said, though both girls ignored her.
"Souten, I thought you and Kohaku were at soccer practice for at least another hour?" Rin asked, squeaking out the last word as dread filled her. Please tell me this is all a dream and that our plan is not fully ruined!
"We got out early. Our coach was trying to show us some professional moves and he ended up falling and hurting himself, so we all had to go home. So the deal is off, we want our rooms back now!" A second voice entered the conversation, causing Kagome to stand up. She walked over and opened the door, crossing her arms the two younger kids. One started right back her with a loopy grin on his face, while the other only grimaced.
Souten was the younger of the two siblings. Her mouth was her favorite part of her body because she loved to blab. If anyone anywhere had a secret and Souten found out, the rest of the town would know about it. But she never seemed to get in trouble, her smile of apology tricking them every time. Anyone over 18 seemed hypnotized by her sorrowful look, and would let her off the hook with just a warning.
Kohaku on the other hand was older and much more dangerous. His brown eyes sparkled with danger, trying things that normal 10 year olds wouldn't do. He had the same black hair as his younger sister, though Kagome could hardly compare them. Kohaku did much more intense stunts, which usually ended him grounded. But he didn't mind, and would wait for the punishment to be lifted before he went off to try another stunt. While Souten got away from punishment, more people knew Kohaku for his tricks.
"Oka boys, why are you trying to barge into Sango's room and tell us that you want your room back? As you can see, this is your sister's room and yours is the next one over." Souten smirked and stepped forwards.
"We came here be-" Souten was stopped by Rin's final attempt to keep their plan a secret.
"Because they know I owe them each ten dollars for the store, right?" Rin quickly shoved her hand down her pockets and pulled out the money, throwing it at them. Dollar signs sprung into Souten's eyes as she grabbed the money. Souten's favorite thing besides snitching was money.
"That's exactly why we were here. When we said room, we meant money. It's just easier to say. Plus it gets you all confused" Kohaku said, using his best lying skills against Kagome. She bought it faster then they were going to buy their candy.
"Well Oka boys, shouldn't you go buy your candy now?" Sango asked, a warning smile smeared on her lips. Both nodded and started to walk away, causing cheers to explode in Rin and Sango's heads. But when Souten came back with a wicked smile on her face, they knew they were in trouble.
"You better have those three boys out of our room by the time we get back."
"Souten!" Both girls screamed.
"Bye!" The snitched replied, leaving the awkward scene. Silence spread like the black plague in the room as each girl started at the doorway Souten had once been in.
"Guys, what was she talking about?" Kagome asked, the puzzle finally falling together in her mind.
"I have no idea what so ever." Sango said quickly. "My siblings were probably hallucinating or something. Kagome, where are you going!" Kagome now stood in front of the boy's door, shoving it open and walking into its dark depths. There, three shadows scrambled around, trying to escape the eyes of their predator.
"Come out now or else I'll hit you!" Kagome warned slightly. There was no doubt in her voice as to whether she would attack or not.
"Oka, just don't hit us!" Kagome was surprised at the voice as she slowly flicked on the light to the room.
"Miroku? That means…Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are here too!" Slowly, the three spies emerged to confirm Kagome's assumption. "Boys, why are you here? Were you spying on us!" Kagome asked angrily, rage flooding in her eyes.
"Well we- I mean we were- well I was just-" Miroku stumbled over his words, knowing all too well they had been caught.
"What he's trying to say is we were just hanging out in the human's room when we overheard you talking." Sesshoumaru said, walking Kagome's rage flare slightly.
"So what you are trying to say is that you just so happened to be here and you just so happened to hear what we were saying? Do you boys think I'm stupid!" She heard the door slightly creek open and all eyes looked over to see Rin and Sango slowly walk in.
"Kagome, we didn't mean to make you mad." Sango said softly. Inuyasha stepped forwards, his hands raised.
"What do you mean we? I had nothing to do with this." Inuyasha said, Kagome looked at the other two boys, pure guilt written on their faces.
"The girls made us spy!" Miroku shouted, hiding behind Sesshoumaru.
"You little rat." Sango glared at him.
"I'd rather be a live rat than a dead boy."
"I could make you a dead rat."
"That's it, what the hell is going on?" Inuyasha asked, pulling the two boys next to Rin and Sango. Miroku made sure to stand on the other side of Sesshoumaru, keeping a safe distance from the girls.
"I think that I figured it out." Kagome said, slowly standing next to Inuyasha.
"Well then tell me." Inuyasha replied.
"They planned this. They made it so that you would listen to me, Sango, and Rin' conversation so that you would hear...things." Inuyasha shot a glare at the four prisoners, who avoided his gaze and looked anywhere but forward.
"Is that what you guys did?" Inuyasha asked, though he already knew the answer.
"If we say yes, will you kill us?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha thought for a moment.
"I'll give you all to the count of three to get out of this room." Inuyasha replied. The three humans screamed and ran out, though Sesshoumaru stood in his place for a moment.
"I shall leave you two alone, though not because of your petty attempt to threaten me." Sesshoumaru made clear eye contact with Inuyasha before walking out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
"Well that was dumb of them." Kagome said, sighing as she walked over and sat on Kohaku's bed. Inuyasha soon followed.
"They think of the dumbest plans." Inuyasha replied, laughing at his friends' stupidity. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha before smiling slightly, though enough to catch Inuyasha's attention. "Why are you smiling?" Kagome blushed and looked away; know that she had been caught.
"Oh I was just thinking is all." She replied, though she paused and took a deep breath. "Inuyasha, what are we exactly?" Kagome asked, changing the subject. Inuyasha was caught off guard by her simply said, yet very complicated question.
"What do you want us to be?" Kagome looked away from him and to the ground, which was hard to see through all the mess.
"I don't know really. One minute we're in a fight, the next were…" Inuyasha continued for her.
"Getting spied on?" Inuyasha smirked at the memory. "Not one of our better moments."
"That's the thing Inuyasha, we have so many memories and yet I feel like I just met you."
"Well at least you don't hate me like you used to."
"I never hated you!" Kagome said a quicker reaction that he had intended. "I don't know what I felt back then."
"Well how bout now?"
"What?"
"Kagome, what I was to know is what do you feel for me now. I know what I feel, that's for sure." Inuyasha pulled the dazed girl closer to him, wrapping his arms around her. "I knew as soon as that man tried to kill you. I wanted to rip that man's throat out and leave him there to die...I...I had never felt so much...fear before that night, and I-I never want to feel it again."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Cause I didn't know how you would react. I...damnit I suck with words." Kagome felt Inuyasha's embrace tighten as he continued. "You...made me see things I didn't realize were there.I'm so used to people being scared because of who I am...what I am-."
"I've never seen you like that Inuyasha; you should know I'd never do that!" Kagome seemed shocked at the truth, though he only placed a finger against her lips.
"You can't even stop protecting me for a moment, can you?" He only chucked when she blushed before he continued. "I really do suck with words, you know that...so, might as well just spit it out." Stop being such a wuss and just tell her already!
"Tell me..."
"I-I..."Inuyasha bit back a lump in his throat when he saw her staring up at him, her deep brown eyes holding slight innocence. "I can't say it, but I can show you..." Before she had time to respond, Inuyasha pressed his lips against hers, never wanting to come back to reality. His lips gently cradled hers, praying she would respond. Breath seemed like an option, and Inuyasha had no intention of taking another swing at it if it meant separating from the girl that now grasp his shirt tightly.
Kagome's eyes squeezed tightly as she tried to sort through the haze that spread in her mind, slowly consuming it. How had she gotten into this position? When did her feelings get this intense? Why did it seem like she never had to breathe when she kissed him? Kagome couldn't take the time to answer any of these questions, his mouth coaxing her attention to him. No matter how difficult her life seemed, a simple movement such as this always seemed to wash away her stress.
Slowly, holding her closer, he pulled back. His gaze darted down to Kagome, who was now flushed.
"Inuyasha…"
"Kagome, I...I have to go...but" Inuyasha leaned down to her ear, whispering. "I really do...I..." Kagome tried to form words, but her mouth stayed silent. Reluctantly, Inuyasha stood up and walked out, not even caring the other two girls were standing by the door.
"Don't go." Kagome whispered, though she heard the front door open, shutting quietly. Her stomach was racing with strong emotions and her shoulders were slack, a new emotion flooding through her body. Her eyes widened with realization as one word came to mind.
There is only one chapter left of this story! I feel like I had just put this up, and now it's going to be done! I'm really sad and all, but I guess all good things must come to an end. Well, all things must come to an end. But if you still like this story, I will be having a new one come up soon! I don't know if it will be before or right after New Years, but it will be around that time!
"Don't go. Please don't leave me alone." She whispered, letting herself release all emotion she once held in. She was sick of holding back; she didn't want to let Inuyasha go.
"Kagome I-" Inuyasha tried to talk but Kagome silenced him.
"I'm sorry; I was so mean to you. I'm sorry I hurt you and yelled at you without thinking. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you when you told me not to move." Kagome looked up at him, eyes filled with water that had already soaked her face. Inuyasha could only hold her gaze.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, slowly placing his arms around her, trying anything to comfort her. She paused, letting her gaze travel to all her friends.
"They all realized it. They all knew that it was true but I was so stubborn that I wouldn't listen to them. Rin told me to follow my heart and Miroku basically screamed at me. Sango has been telling me over and over again, while Sesshoumaru tried to explain it without me actually knowing. Hell, even Kikyo made me realize what I should go." Inuyasha watched her bright copper gaze fall back on him.
"What are you saying?" Inuyasha asked as he let his fingers wipe away tears from her eyes. More replaced them quickly.
"Inuyasha I-"
