Chp 14

Kagome waited on the couch, sleep starting to take its toal on her. Not yet, not til he gets back...But a soft blanket of sleep began drape over her, covering her in soft relief. Suddenly she heard a crack of thunder, and stood straight up. Shivers creeped along her spine, goosebumps chilling along her skin. She looked out the window to see rain pleating against the window. She felt fear tingle down her body, as she ran to the outside porch. The rain was coming down in heavy sheets, covering her in soft blankets.

"SILVER SCAR!" She cried it out desperately. She didn't like this feeling inside her, this deep dread. She felt this deep pit in her stomach, dropping farther and farther down.

"SILVER SCAR!"He still hadn't come, and it frightened her. She walked down the fire escape, trying to reach the ground. The rain soaked her hair, whipping the drenched tendrels around her face. She jumped down, her bare feet meeting hard gravel. She winced slightly, and continued to travel down an alley.

"INUYASHA!"

Lightning cracked along the skyline, she jumped, the white hot whip cracking through the sky. She gasped, half afriad of getting shocked. She ducked, and saw the lightning illuminate the alley. The shadows flickered on for a mere half a second, then disappeared back into darkness. Her eyes scanned the area, the light giving her a brighter picture of where she was going.

"INUYASHA! INUYASHA!

She watched lightning crack against the dark sky, once again illuminating her way. She ran down the alley, trying to trace her hands against the wet brick. The rain pleated against her body, her already soaking hair matted against her face. She heard the crack of thunder, sharp as a whip. The sound echoed throughout the sky, making her body shake with its massive boom. She felt her heart begin to thud against her chest, from both worry and fear.

Another crash of lightning gave her much needed sight. She memorized her surroundings and treaded faster against the wall.

"INUYASHA!"

Her throat was already scratchy from the loud calls, but in this weather, the sound was not strong enough to travel very far. She felt a lump crawl up her throat, clumping together in a huge lump. She was so afraid that he was hurt...

Then her fears were justified...

A crack of lightning brought just enough light to show a shimmer of silver. Her eyes opened wide, and she ran towards her worst fears. She came up on a figure clad in black with silver streaks. She gasped and knelt down to him, trying to shake him awake.

"Inuyasha...INUYASHA!"

She had tears rolling down her face as she violently shook his shoulders. She bent down to scan him over, trying to find the source of all this blood. She found multiple rips in his clothes, like he had been shot...but the holes were the size of knives. She cried as another flash of lightning illuminated his pale face. She stroked his cheek, feeling how cold it was...

"Inuyasha, please wake up..."

Thunder boomed overhead, shaking the ground beneath her feet. She gasped and felt terror stream through her system. She realized just how intimidating that thunder and lightning was...

"Uh..."

She looked down to see Inuyasha opening his eyes.

"What happened..."

He tried to push his body up, and sat up against a nearby wall.

"Kagome..."

A crack of lightning illuminated her face, showing his fears were true.

"Kagome what are you doing here?"

"I was so scared!"

She threw herself against him, wrapping her arms tightly around him, crying into his bloody chest.

"I thought you were dead, and with the storm...I couldn't leave you alone..."

"Kagome, don't ever come to save me. You're more important that I am, and never forget that."

"Shut up, you're my life, I could never forgive myself for not coming for you when you're in danger..."

He wrapped his arms around her as another roll of thunder shook the foundation of stone they were perched on. He looked down at her, and slightly shook his head...

"Stuborn girl...C'mon we've got to get out of this storm, its not safe for you."

Another string of lightning bolts shocked both of them as he held her protectively. He stood up...

"Stop! Get down!"

She pulled him back on the ground, staring at him angerly.

"Your wounds are too serious to be moving around!"

"Feh, these are just scratches. Besides, their healed now..."

He opened the front of his shirt to prove it to her. Just as he had stated there was no trace of wound or scar anywhere.

"Now get on, so we can get back."

She loaded up into his arms as he got them back in under 15 seconds. They loaded up into the window, and creeped back into his apartment. He set her back down on the couch and checked the clock...

1:18

He sighed, and realized how tired she must be. He slipped his arms under her and carried him to his bed. He set her down gently, watching her stare up at him with sleep glazed eyes.

"Get some rest..."

"I'm afraid..."

"Kagome you just went out in the middle of a huge thunderstorm, down a rat infested alleyway, barefooted, in a skirt and tank top. On top of that, you went out, found me bloody and on the ground, and instead of running away in case the people who did it were still there, you immediately rushed to me. And now your afraid of being in a nice warm bed, with a little rain and thunder?"

"Yes..."

He felt his heart grow soft...

"Will you sleep here with me, please."

Those gorgeous brown eyes of her's, boring into him, trying to manipulate him. Trying to beg of him to let her have her way...

He sighed pleasantly, and kissed her cheek.

"Of course I will, but let me change."

She giggled...

He walked into his bathroom, and slipped off his uniform. He noticed the cuts and slashes, and decided to take it to Sesshomaru tomorrow after work. He grabbed a pair of boxers, and then slipped some pajama bottoms over that. He brushed his teeth, and combed his hair. He walked out and saw a frightened Kagome, shivering with fear from the slashes across the sky. He silently creeped up behind her, and quickly covered her eyes.

He whispered into her ear,"Don't listen to that, just listen to my voice."

She whimpered, but nodded.

"I love you, my Kagome."

"I love you too Inuyasha."

His beath was warm and soft, but his voice was deep and alluring. She felt him trail kisses from her neck to her shoulder. She felt her bottom lip quiver, from the shivers going down her spine, and the crash of thunder outside the window.

He firmly grasped her, whispering to her, hypnotizing her with his deep scratchy voice,"Kagome..."

The way he said it made her feel so sensual. The way he stressed the Ka..or the way he joined the go with the me making it sound like a melody. How the letters danced on his tongue, joining together in a dance to toy with her heart.

"Your in my arms now, nothing will hurt you."

He set her back on the pillows, curling her up in his arms. She burried her face in his neck, resting her hands against his chest. He cradled her petite body, holding her with the utmost care. She began to kiss his neck, in thanks for protecting her.

"I love you Inuyasha."

He tightened his grasp in her...

"I love you too."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Inuyasha, that suit was made from the highest quality bullet proof material we have, how could you cut it?"

"This girl, I didn't catch her name, but she manipulated things like fire and water. I think she sent energy shards at me, or something. She's extremely tough, and very skilled."

"Don't give her so much credit, she's just got some power, we'll be able to over come that..."

"She contols ANY kind of energy Sesshomaru, including the Wind Scar..."

Sesshomaru paused and gave thought to this...

"She's a demon, and she controls the natural elements no doubt. Giving consideration that she knows how to use a weapon..."

"A naginata..."

"Ok, a naginata...but given these aspects..."

He placed two fingers to his head.

"We need to find a was to nullify her demonic powers, if we do, she can't manipulate the Wind Scar. But I can't figure out how to do that without destroying yours as well."

"I can destroy her with brute strength, its not a problem."

"You say that now..."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I think your afraid of her..."

"WHY THE HELL IS THAT?"

"You doubt yourself..."

Inuyasha had just taken a hard punch right in the ego. HIM...AFRAID?

"I don't doubt myself...I'm just saying, she's powerful..."

"Too powerful for you?"

"Hell no! I'll kick her ass next time I see her! You can count on it!"

"If you say so."

He watched the half demon stomp off to get another uniform. He didn't want to admit it to him, but he might not be cut out for this.

She spared him out of pure mercy, anyone with eyes can see he isn't anywhere near his true potential. At the current momet he's just a foolish boy with a sword. He'll never learn to unlock himself and become a true man unless he actually tries to. But he's too ignorant to see that he's not at full power...

He glared and followed Inuyasha to the technician room. All the cutting edge technology was created in this very room. Dozens of white coated men and women were pouring chemicals, writing formulas, testing prototypes. Inuyasha wandered down a hall off to the right, and entered a dark room. He looked around for a bit and muttered something to himself. He wandered around int he dark for a bit, and finally found the other door.

He entered a light room filled with strands of silk, dangling through the air. In the middle of the room a huge spider demon wove the silk, creating masterpieces of artwork. Her long arms split about the room, threading clothes a thousand times stronger than anything created before it. The glittering fabric shines stronger than the glossiest of materials, and was decorated with more detail than anyone could master.

"Inuyasha, what brings you here to this fine establishment?"

"My uniform was broken..."

"The one I woven bulletproof silk through, and enforced with steel?"

"Yea..."

"How did you do that?"

"I was shot with pure energy..."

"Yes...it it was powerful enough, it could tear the fabric. I will have to give you something else..."

She reached up and searched through various piles of fabric, looking for the exact thing she needed. She pulled out a long piece of black fabric, almost leanther looking, but soft and woven..

She immediately put her long arms to work, creating two new uniforms for him. She was hard at work, stitching in all the silver, twisting the strands together. Her long arms worked fast, speedier than any man-made machine ever could.

"You may go Inuyasha, come back later tonight before you make your runs..."

"Thanks Keioshi."

"Your welcomed..."

He began to walk out the door, but was stopped by a long arm reachign out to give him a bundle...

"Inside are two things for your girlfriend. A tradtional kimono for the upcoming festivals, and a silk sleeping dress etched with lace. She will love them both, I promise. If not, bring them back and we can make adjustments..."

Inuuyasha began to unwrap the silk, but was slapped on the hand by Keioshi.

"No! That is for Kagome to open, not you."

He grunted and thanked her again, and started to walked out the door. He closed it, watching the silver strands shimmering through a crack in the door. He walked back out, and left the laboratory. He hopped in his old toyota, and drove back to his apartment. His thoughs were centered on that bundle of cloth. He could see it peeking through, shining with brilliance. He rolled his eyes and continued his focus on the road.

Or at least tried to...

Thoughs of the night not so long ago entered his mind, and he felt himself reliving that sweaty, hot, passionate night. He could almost feel her wet, cold body pressed against his again.

When he finally arrived at her apartment he smiled. He grabbed the package, looked around for any speculators, and hopped in through her window. He quietly tiptoed towards her room, and heard the t.v buzzing out her favorite show, Family Guy.

"Look Brain! There's a message in my alphabet soup, it says ooooooooo..."

"Peter those are cheerios..."

"AHHAHAHAHA!"

He muffled a soft chuckle, and quietly creeped behind her. He reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and covered her eyes. He jumped and tried to wriggle out of his grasp. He just chuckled and whispered into her ear...

"Guess who..."

"You bastard!"

He let her go, smiling evily...

"You didn't guess..."

She growled, and had on a look of trying to be mad, but not being able to not smile. He reached out to touch her cheek, caressing it softly with his thumb.

"I have a present for you."

"Inuyasha you didn't have to do that..."

"I know, but for you, I guess I can make an exception..."

He gave her the bundle, watching her fingers clasp around the brown paper. His eyes gazed over her face, watching her expression change from confusion to delight.

"Oh my god, Inuyasha, its gorgeous!"

Keioshi was truely never one to disappoint. The blue fabric was soft and silky smooth, with orange blossoms decorating the hem. Creamy lace drifted up the sides, allowing him to see her pale skin. She bent in towards him, kissing his lips softly.

"I love it..."

"There's more..."

She reached back into the paper, and pulled out the most beautiful Kimono she had ever seen...

A rich dark jade green had the background color, and it was decorated with cool hues of blue, green, and gold. The pattern was decorated with a silver river that trailed along the kimono, shinning against the silk. Soft pink blossoms dotted the shoulders, and the blue and green collar shimmered...

"Oh Inuyasha..."

"Its from a friend, don't give me credit..."

She ignored him, wrapping her arms around his waist. She nuzzled her cheek against him, rubbing her face against his chest.

"Thank you..."

"I said not to give me..."

But she had already pressed her lips against his, capturing him in her essence. He moaned into her mouth, the sudden outburst unexpected of her...

"Ka...gome..."

"Hush...up.."

He forgot his train of thought as she took his hand, trailing it up her body. Guilty pleasures soon turned into obssessions...

He remembered a time not too long ago, when a young man thought that to himself in a coffee shop, watching a girl serve simple black coffee...

He quickly broke the kiss...

"I love you..."

He said it with a calm, but rough voice that made her heart skip. His golden eyes shinned from the moment, glazed over with the passion he held for her.

"I love you too..."
