Chapter 5:
Tattoos and Necklaces
Kagome finally made it to the café. Though Sango still hadn't arrived yet, she took the time to calm down and let her head fall to the table with a rather loud 'thud', but if you were listening you would have heard a small muttered 'Ow'! As Kagome sat waiting she wasn't the only one having an info sharing session, for at that moment Inuyasha and Miroku were next door having the exact same conversation Kagome was about to have with Sango. Speaking of which, she has just walked in.
Next Door
"So you guys did and those things are symbols of what happened. I understand the trinket on the necklace, but the tattoo, man never knew that happened. Can I see it?" said a flabbergasted Oku.
"No," was Inu's simple reply.
"Aww, alright I understand," stated a disappointed Miroku, but then his mood turned sly, his violet eyes casting a mischievous glow, " So how was it?" insert eyebrow wiggle here.
! Bam!
"Feh! Like I'm gonna tell you that! Stupid lech… Can't stay out of my business… Feh!" mumbled an agitated Inuyasha.
x.x --- Miroku.
Back to the Girls
Right when Kagome was about to speak Sango ended up knocking down the silverware onto the floor. So Kag bends down and hunches over them picking up the scattered utensils trying to get more time on how she was going to start telling this whirlwind of a tale to her best friend. 'I have no freakin idea on how to start this conversation should just be blunt like Inu or start at the beginning.' As she was mulling over these thoughts Sango stands up getting ready to help her friend out but this ends up giving her a clear view of Kag's back. Therefore instantaneously causing Sango to gasp and go speechless for just a few seconds.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!"
Being startled, Kagome swings around causing a necklace to fall out of her tank with two distinct circular baubles. Thus causing Sango to go into another harangue of disbelief, "WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE!" Cringing at the sheer volume, Kagome now knew she had to finally share the whole story with her. 'Guess it's the beginning. It's long but maybe I'll have fun with Sango as I tell it.' Kagome thought with a devious grin and begin the tale from the beginning.
Flashback
The Mysterious Summer
Kagome had just finished her lessons with Kaede who out of respect and adoration had come to calling her grandma. She found that there was no way of not becoming fond of Kaede and her magnanimous ways. Pulling herself from her thoughts she found herself at the park once more. Shortly after moving here Kagome discovered this park and has continuously visited it frequently through out the time she has been here. Locating a bench she promptly sat down and just started thinking of everything and nothing at the same time. She still wonders (as do I) how this was even possible, but back to the one thing that has been constantly on her mind or should we say someone. Yes she was once again thinking of Inuyasha that backstabbing, nefarious, arrogant, debonair, gallant, hunk, that she lo… no she must not get sidetracked. She can't forget what happened no matter how her heart feels. Needing a distraction she pulled out her CD player and hit random. The song that came on was not one she wanted to hear but it did suit her mood and what she had to do, which was to wake up. (Insert most depressing song you can think of) After a while Kagome could no longer keep her tears in and so she just let them flow. After a while she wiped the few tears that still remained, she then puts away her CD player and begins to walk home. Unbeknownst to her she would be delayed even longer, for while she was listening to the song another set of puppy ears had caught the sound of the depressing ballad now the owner of these fuzzy ears is standing right in front of Kagome. Their eyes lock for what seems like eternity.
Then he speaks, "Don't wake up, Kag because you're not alone. You've never been alone." All while he is speaking the distance between them has evaporated and they now stand a hair's breath away (didn't know hair could breathe). Then his name escapes Kagome's frozen lips, "Inuyasha," but before she can have anything else escape he silences her with his thumb while taking her face between his hands and begins to plead his case, "Kagome I should have said something or done something instead of just standing there like some stupid fish. I should have never let that filthy thing anywhere near me. #Sigh# this is freakin hard to say… that is… can you forgive me Kag?" Looking straight into his eyes she knew he was sincere. She just had to tell him her answer, but words were failing her. So she did the next best thing.
! Slap!
Finding her voice she tells him exactly how she feels, "You expect me to forgive you just because you decide to show up now. Damn it, Inuyasha! I've been here for almost a year or two and now you come! What get bored with Kikyo? Wait! I don't want to know. She probably dumped you anyways. Do me a favor and stay gone!" with that she left a stunned hanyou behind.
End Flashback
"Oh my god! You slapped him!"
"What did you expect, Sango? Did you want me to throw myself at him? And I thought you knew me better."
"True." Sango's statement causes them to bust out in giggles. Calming down Sango inquired about the rest, "then what happened?"
"Well…"
Continue Flashback
It had been a month since that meeting at the park and Inuyasha was still trying to get Kagome to forgive him. Countless phone calls, endless letters, and dozens of song dedications on the radio, "And that goes out 'again' to Kag from Inu asking will you forgive me. Well that's one stubborn young man for doing this for a whole month. Let's take some calls and see what the listeners have to say …." And yet another radio met its demise by being introduced to the wall. Kag knew he was stubborn, but man he wouldn't give up no matter how much she was ignoring him. Growling with frustration she swiftly let her head fall against her desktop.
! Thud!
! Ow!
"Aye, child what seems to be the problem this time?" questioned Kaede when she saw the decimated radio. Not knowing what else she could do Kag told Kaede the whole story from beginning to end, "and now grandma he won't leave me alone until I forgive him!" Kaede being perceptive as she is knew Kagome did forgive him, but was just being stubborn just like the object of her frustrations. "Child, listen to ye heart it will never steer ye wrong." "#Sigh# I know grandma. I know all to well what my heart is saying." "Good, goodnight then, child," with that Kaede patted her head and exited the room with a knowing look glimmering in her eyes. Not catching the look Kag began to think, 'I should tell him. Though I won't tell him about the call I got from Sango. He's so lucky I listen to her. Feh! I mean… oh my god I'm talking like him while I'm thinking! #Groan#'
! Tap, tap!
! Tap, tap!
Kagome is jolted from her thoughts by the insistent tapping coming from her window. Being curious she walks over and opens the curtains and looks down. Behold there's Inuyasha standing below holding some object in one of his hands that she couldn't make out. Deciding to hear him out she opens the window. Casually leaning on the window sill with her head resting on her crossed arms she calls out, "What do you want now?" Just because she was going to hear him out doesn't mean she couldn't hassle him a little. Trying not to let her disposition get to him, he calls up, "shut up and listen stupid!" Okay so he tried and failed at least he didn't say wench. Then for once Kagome actually stopped talking and listened. Glad that he now had her attention. He pulled out the mysterious object, which turned out to be a guitar and began to sing. He did his own version of "I'm Lost Without You" by the oh so great band Blink-182.
Kagome was speechless the song was beautiful but man was Inuyasha tone deaf (mwahaha). #Sigh# though his sweetness did make up for that, but who said she had to listen to her heart without a fight.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn!"
Not expecting this reaction at all, Inuyasha was now the one who was speechless. Well only for a few moments, "Me! You're the one who won't forgive me!" Alas Kag was ready with a remark though it was involuntarily pulled from her lips, "Ha! Shows what you know because I forgave you a week ago." Catching her slip up Kag quickly slapped her hands over her betraying mouth and disappeared into her room. Not one to be denied answers Inuyasha set his guitar down and jumped through Kag's still opened window, from there the conversation continued with one unwilling participant, "What do you mean you forgave me? And why didn't you tell me? It would have saved me from making a fool out of myself. Would you take your hands off your mouth and answer me. I can't believe…" Inuyasha was silenced, something he did not like, but then he realized what was silencing him and didn't mind at all. Kagome couldn't stand listening to him nag any longer he was worse than a girl so she gave her heart full control of her actions. That resulted in her silencing Inu with her lips. Well at first she wanted to shut him up, but then it hit her she was kissing him for the first time in all the years they've been friends she was kissing him and it was just to stop his nagging. This thought caused Kagome to start giggling against Inuyasha's lips. Pulling back Inuyasha thought she had finally lost it, but before he could voice his concerns he was pulled back into another lip lock, a soul searing, passionate kiss causing Kag's arms to go around Inu's neck and Inu's arms to go around Kag's waist. Sending tingles all throughout their bodies the moment their lips had met. For once they weren't hurling insults but sending love that met no boundaries and was infinite. Pulling back this time for air and to ask Kagome something very important, "Hey Kag let's get out of here, just you and me. What do you say?" Catching her breath she let her heart do all the talking, "Yes, let's get out of here." Liking her answer he had one more question that needed to be answered. Getting down on one knee and pulling out a velvet box he began to speak, "Kag know this no matter what comes our way I want to always be by your side. I want to protect you and keep you safe always. This past year of not being able to see you or be near you has shown me how much you truly mean to me and when I realized that it almost killed me that I might have lost you forever. I promise I will never let you get away from me ever again. I will treat you with all the love and respect you deserve because I love you. I've loved you since we were little kids, first as a friend now I love you more than that. I want you to be my mate and wife. So Kagome Higurashi will you marry me?" By the end Kagome already had tears streaming down her face and knew what her answer would be, "Inu… I… I…"
A/n: MWAHAHAHA CLIFFY! Let's see where I should hide from the bound to be angry fans. Okay umm sorry I found this a good stopping point. Also I need a last name for Inu. So send me your suggestions PLEASE! Anyhow don't worry I'm already working on the next part. Hmmm should I have her say 'no' or should I have her say 'yes' decisions, decisions. Okay that's it! (Still need a last name my brain is just blank about this)
