Disclaimer: We do not own Inuyasha
Inuyasha stood there shocked. He hadn't moved or made a sound to alert the females to his presence. He didn't know what to do. He was beside himself. Kagome slowly turned, straining to see the demon that Rin was pointing to. As Inuyasha watched her, his heart began to skip beats. He caught a whiff of her scent and was intrigued.
"Come out here demon, we know you are in there!" Kagome hollered.
Inuyasha stared at her from the darkness not sure what to do. He decided there was no point in hiding anymore and strolled into the circle with his arms tucked into his white sleeves across his chest.
"Keh." Was all he said before walking over to Rin and stood facing her nose to nose.
"What did you do? Smell me?"
Rin crinkled her nose.
" Like…No! I heard you panting and…"
Inuyasha took another whiff of her scent and smirked.
"You smell like my brother."
Rin's eyes grew wide as saucers. Her cheeks and face became as red as the kimono on Kagome's back. She turned to face her sister. Kagome had her arms much like Inuyasha's in the red sleeves across her chest and glared at her.
"So, there was a he."
Rin sweat dropped and looked away from her sister.
"Uhh…no…no…there was no demon…heh…hehe…."
Kagome wasn't fooled by her sister's antics. She methodically walked towards her cowering sister to tower above her. Rin was on the ground shaking with fear her hands were in front of her face waving them back and forth frantically. With a heated tone she inquired her sister about the demon she had met.
"What was his name…Rin…?"
"Guys?" Sango piped in.
"Alright, alright. Maybe I met one very sexy demon…."
Inuyasha snorted in the background at her remark.
"Hey guys!" Sango said once more.
"What is his name Rin!" Kagome hollered
Rin cowered further onto her knees at her sister's ranting. All were oblivious of the antics of Miroku and hanyou. Inuyasha watched the girl that was wearing his kimono with interest. He couldn't help noticing how well it fit her curves.
Miroku had sat down on the rock that Sango had once been sitting on. He watched the girls with a grin. In his reverie he had absentmindedly picked up Sango and put her in his lap. He then proceeded to pet her handle without a second thought. Sango was shaking with rage.
"GUYS!" Sango screamed as loud as she could.
Both girls turned and yelled at her disgruntled for being interrupted.
"WHAT!"
At this Inuyasha turned in the same direction at what they were speaking to. At the sight he sweat dropped.
"Have you forgotten about someone already?" Sango said irritably.
"Who would we forget Sango?" Rin questioned.
"The demon and mainly the PERVERT STROKING ME!"
Inuyasha fell over with mocking laughter at this sentence. At hearing his laughter Kagome briskly walked over to Miroku and snatched Sango out of his grasp. She turned and glared at the laughing hanyou still on the ground.
"That's right. Who are you, demon?" Kagome demanded.
Inuyasha stopped his laughter and stood up dusting off his garments and looked at her annoyed.
"Keh. What's it to ya thief?"
"Thief! Who are you calling a thief!"
"You stole my red kimono, wench!"
"My Grandma had given me this kimono!"
"Which she stole from me!"
Being fed up with his attitude Kagome without a second thought tossed Sango behind her. She landed back into the lap of Miroku who replaced his concern for the situation back into a smile at the object in his lap. As he began to watch the scene again, he stroked her handle. Sango began to twitch.
Kagome stormed over to Inuyasha and stood nose to nose to him
"What did you call me!"
"I didn't stutter! I called you a thief, wench!"
Kagome fumed. She turned to her sister. Much to her dismay she found that she was daydreaming. This just fueled the fire within Kagome. What stunned her most she was speaking and making gestures as she did so.
"Oh….Lord Sesshoumaru…tehe…not here they can see us….."Rin giggled as her cheeks turned crimson.
"Oh so that is his name Rin."
The sound of her name brought her round from her dream to look at her sister. The glare she received told her that she had said something she wasn't supposed to. Kagome had lost her train of thought with Inuyasha and started for her sister.
"Rin, hand me the necklace. I'll teach boy a lesson…" she growled.
Rin scrambled for her backpack, and handed the necklace to Kagome with a shaking hand. Kagome was concentrating on the necklace and the hanyou once more. Being left to her own devices, she returned to her daydream.
"Mmmmm…you know where this leads Lord Sesshoumaru…." She moaned.
Kagome put all of her attention on the necklace.
"There was a word I was to say with this…what was it…."
Inuyasha's temper flared at being ignored. He stalked over to her and grabbed the collar of the kimono. Her thoughts were brought back to her current situation from this action.
"Let go of me!"
"Not till you give me back my kimono!"
He pulled harder on the collar picking her up off her feet. Kagome gasped at this action. In her distress she flung her arms back trying to get him to let go. In her actions the necklace in her hand had slipped around his head and onto his neck. Shocked, Inuyasha let go. Kagome dropped hard onto her rump. She stood up and turned to face him.
Inuyasha struggled to get the necklace off of his neck. While he was preoccupied Kagome was trying to remember the sub due word.
"Oh what was it?"
Inuyasha thought it futile and decided to go back to trying to get his kimono.
"Give me my damn kimono!" He reached for her aiming for the lapel.
Kagome misinterpreted his action as a potential grope. She took a step back and her foot slipped upon Miroku's staff, which he had laid next to him on the ground. Her foot rolled a top the staff causing her to loose balance. Quickly, Inuyasha went to grab her before she fell, but his action further scared Kagome. Thoughtlessly she had called out the subdue word.
"Sit boy!"
The word sent Inuyasha face first down on top of her. The strength of the pull forced the air from Kagome and Inuyasha's lungs. Dizzy Inuyasha bent his head to regain himself and found his lips meeting something soft. Opening his eyes he stared into Kagome's shocked gaze. Not realizing what he had done, he pulled his head back. Her stare still one of shock.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? You are the one that used the spell."
She didn't answer him. All she could do was stare as tears began to flow down her red cheeks. This further confused him till he heard the cries of her sister next to him.
"Way to go Kagome! I knew you had it in you all along! About time you kissed someone!"
Complete horror crossed his face as he looked at her again. The hurt that was on her face wrenched at his heart. He didn't know why.
The spell wore off and Inuyasha stood back up and turned his back to her.
"Feh. It's your own fault."
Kagome half heard his words as more tears went down her cheeks. She turned towards Miroku and Sango not wanting to look at him anymore then she had to. The thief had stolen her first kiss. Through her tears she saw that Miroku had fallen asleep on Sango's handle, patting her in the rear as he slept. A grin of shear bliss crossed his lips as he did so. Sango had watched the scene before her in shock not really realizing what Miroku was doing. Kagome didn't say a word and hardly looked up as she walked over and pulled Sango free from his grasp. Miroku stirred as he noticed his face was no longer being supported by the lovely basket. He opened his eyes and watched the scene unfold before him.
"Come Rin we are going to Grandma's right now. I no longer want to stay here."
Rin snapped from her dream and just stood there looking at her. Before Kagome took a step Rin walked over to her and snatched Sango from her grasp and sat down on the ground next to Miroku.
"We aren't going anywhere at this hour. If you need to calm down go for a walk or something."
Exasperated at her sister's stubbornness, she marched off past Inuyasha and into the nearby woods. Tears began to reform as she walked further into the forest.
Back at camp Inuyasha watched her go with a confused look on his face. He turned to face her sister who had her head resting on Miroku's knee cradling Sango in her grasp. He proceeded to walk over to them and began to sit down across from the girl Kagome had called Rin.
"What is her problem? Not like I care."
Rin yawned and looked at him with a half smile.
"A girl's first kiss is supposed to be special. Hers it seems was not."
With that said she pulled a now sleeping Sango further into her lap and fell back to sleep. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He turned away from her still confused by this, but slowly reality of the situation was dawning on him.
Miroku opened his eyes and saw that Inuyasha was still sitting here and not going after the girl. He rolled his eyes towards the heavens and cursed himself for his fate.
"Why aren't you going after her, Inuyasha?"
Without turning around he answered the question.
"Because, it's her fault. She should apologize to me."
"From what I saw, it was you who were being callous. If for not trying to obtain an item without asking then none of this would have happened." Miroku flatly stated.
"Keh." Was all Miroku heard as he seen Inuyasha lift his head and an ear cocking to one side.
Inuyasha sniffed the air a little perturbed at what he smelled. It wasn't her, but it wasn't strong enough for him to make it out. He relaxed a bit. He went back to sulking.
"What is it Inuyasha? Something the matter?"
"It's nothing."
A strong scent then assaulted his nose. His hair on the back of his neck raised. A razor sharp scream emanated throughout the forest. Before Miroku could ask what was wrong Inuyasha had already bounded into the forest following scent and sound alike.
