Author: Yayayayay! We're on the second chapter! I mean, I know that's not
very far, but whatever and I think I'll stop babbling now. Oh. Right. I do
not own Inuyasha (yah, just rub it in why dontcha) or Sephiroth or any of
the other characters in this story. If I did then I would be filthy rich
and I probably wouldn't be writing stories on fanfiction. lol. If that is
for better or for worse, you can decide. Also, please forgive me for the
slow updates because not only do I have a heavy workload from school, I
also have to work (Chuck E. Cheese!!! :D) and I don't have the internet at
home. I'll try and update as soon as I possibly can for each chapter.
Inuyasha: *growls* God, I'm so pathetic in your story. I am not whiny and vulnerable when I'm human!
Author: *smiles* Sure you're not........
Inuyasha: *raises an eyebrow* Back off! I said no last night and I still say no today!
Author: *laughs evilly* You can't resist forever.
Inuyasha: *runs away screaming for help with Author chasing after him*
Random demon: Hello. Good day to you all. I have been told by an anonymous source to inform you that this fanfic is going to start now. Thank you and have a nice day. *poof* (disappears)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Last Chapter: (Nuzzling into Kagome's neck, Inuyasha drifted off to sleep.)
Kagome woke up feeling refreshed and tried to stretch her arms, but found them trapped under a large heavy object.
"What the?" she uttered confused. Spitting out a mouthful of white, silky hair she sighed, "oh. Right." She grinned to herself seeing that Inuyasha was curled up against her and he had his arms tightly around her waist. She'd have to remind him of this the next time he was being a jerk. It was weird how right it felt to wake up in his arms. Kagome closed her eyes and leaned her head on Inuyasha chest. His eyes shot open and he looked around, disoriented.
Where am I? he wondered. He was about to sit up but noticed Kagome was on top of him. He jerked his arms away, hoping she didn't know that they had been like that all night. She lifted her head and propped her chin on his chest to look at him. There faces were only inches away and Inuyasha could smell sweet scents drifting in his direction. Breathing in deeply, Inuyasha fought himself and hoped he wouldn't regret later (A/N: or would he? lol) and his claws dug into his palms. Claws?
He glanced down at his hands and saw his sharp talons had returned. I'm demon again! he realized and shoved Kagome over to the side of the bed. "Get off me wench!" he snapped, instantly regretting how harsh he sounded. She angrily shoved him off the bed and he crashed loudly to the floor.
"If you're going to be a jerk then go sleep in the doghouse where you belong!"
Inuyasha fumbled for words, but no reply came to mind. "Feh," he muttered in defeat. He sat down, crossing his legs, and tucked his arms into his sleeves.
"So how long does this Christmas thing go for anyway?" he demanded. Kagome glared at him. What had happened? Geez. He was so grumpy.
"If you dislike it so much then go home," she snapped, equally mean. Instead of speaking, Inuyasha simply hopped up and stalked over to the window. Banging it open he jumped out and headed for a tree in her backyard. His pride prevented him from staying in Kagome's room, but he desperately wanted to be with her. He couldn't go back home yet. Why did every word that came out of his mouth sound so nasty? He sighed and angrily hacked at a random branch with his claws.
Kagome tried not to cry and banged open her dresser drawers to release her rage. She dug through her unfolded clothing and pulled out a tight fuzzy, forest, green sweater and form fitting black jeans. Sighing deeply as she dressed, she wondered if Inuyasha would ever be nice to her. He never seemed to realize how she felt about him. But then, she never showed it either. Kagome inspected herself in the mirror and nodded with a small smile. These would do. She added a holly pin and it seemed to complete the outfit, making it look just right.
She heard a knock at her front door and a minute later her mom yelled down the hall. "Kagome! Hogo's here to see you!" Groaning, Kagome quickly ran her brush through her hair and headed out to the front door. An eager looking Hogo awaited her with a beautifully wrapped gift in his arms. Proudly, he held it out to her and smiled handsomely. Kagome blushed, realizing she had nothing for him and stepped to the side of the door.
"Um....Hogo? Do you want to come inside for awhile?" she asked shyly. Hogo nodded eagerly and followed her into the living room.
Inuyasha watched from his cold perch as a pitiful looking human ran through the falling snow and up to Kagome's front door holding one of those present things. He felt jealously stir inside him when Kagome came to the door, looking surprised, and let the guy in. This human obviously had a strong attractive to Kagome. You could just tell by the way he looked at her. He wasn't about to let any human upstage him, that's for sure. Growling, he ducked back into Kagome's window and peered out her door. No one was insight and he snuck along the wall, spying on the young pair in the living room.
Hogo put the present in Kagome's lap and she delicately undid the tape that was holding the paper in place and put it to the side. She laughed when she found another layer underneath. Hogo grinned like an idiot.
"I may have over-wrapped it a little." They shared a smile and after a few more unwrapping episodes Kagome reached a rectangle box. She opened it curiously and gasped at a beautiful jade necklace that glittered back at her. Hogo reached forward and took it from the jewelry box and put his arms around her neck to clasp it behind her. His face lingered in front of her a moment before he pulled back and smiled. Kagome fingered the beautiful chain and frowned.
"Hogo, I can't accept this. And I feel so guilty. I don't have anything for you." Hogo shrugged.
"S'okay. I wasn't expecting anything. I just like to see you happy. Maybe you'll let me take you to a movie sometime as repayment." Kagome blushed, still reluctant to accept the gift and Hogo stood happily. "Well, I better be on my way now. My mom's expecting me home for dinner." Nodding, Kagome walked him to the door. Hogo hesitated, then leaned in, kissing her lightly. "Merry Christmas," he whispered, face slightly red from embarrassment after pulling back.
Kagome stood speechless and touched her fingers to her lips in shock. Hogo started out the door, leaving a dazed looking Kagome behind. "Hogo," she breathed, touching his arm to stop him. He turned, fear in his eyes.
"I know," he sighed, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that....."
Kagome shook her head, "it's not that. I just...."
"No. I understand," he interrupted her sadly.
"No. You don't," Kagome cut in, "you're not letting me talk." Hogo smiled slightly.
"I know I don't stand a chance against whomever it is you daydream about when your eyes glaze over and you smile at nothing. The only thing I could do was try. I know what I did was selfish, but I also knew that you wouldn't kiss me any other way..."
"Oh, Hogo," Kagome sighed. Engulfing him in a hug, she shook her head in sympathy. How could she be so blind? Hogo had liked her all along and all she could do was want Inuyasha. She pulled back and kissed Hogo's cheek in a friendly gesture. "You'll always be my friend," she smiled, "and you're awesome at it. I know you'll always be there for when I need you." Hogo smiled halfheartedly.
"I will. And when the lucky guy finds out about your daydreaming, let me know. I'll congratulate him. Maybe he'll tell me what his secret." Kagome shook her head.
"You just keep thinking that, Hogo," she teased.
"See ya." he sighed. And with that, he was gone. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief to have that over with and felt a twinge of guilt that she still had the necklace around her neck. I'll return it later, she reassured herself.
Inuyasha had barely stopped himself from ripping the boy limb from limb when he kissed Kagome. He growled deeply in the back of his throat. Retreating back to Kagome's room he climbed out the window and waited for his chance. He watched the human walk down the path from Kagome's house, leaving deep footprints, and felt his anger rising. With a loud snarl he ran over to he leapt over to Hogo and grabbed him by the shirt. Hogo's eyes went wide with surprise and he grabbed Inuyasha's hands, trying to free himself.
"Please," he squeaked, "don't hurt me! I'm sorry! Whatever I did, I'm sorry!" Inuyasha growled and dropped him in disgust.
"Stay away from Kagome. You hear me?!" he threatened, flexing his claws.
Hogo's look went from fear, to disbelief, to acceptance. "So you're the one," he said quietly from his snowdrift. He painfully pushed himself up and brushed snow from his clothes. He grasped Inuyasha's hand and shook it briefly. "Good luck. Don't mess up like me." Hogo seemed oblivious to the strange person who had roughed him up as he walked away in a sad stupor.
What had just happened? What did he mean by 'the one'? He frowned at the retreating form and kicked at the snow. Stupid human! Glaring at nothing in particular he climbed back into his tree, shivering from cold. I hate humans! I hate snow! Muttering to himself, he watched Kagome through her window, playing with the cat.
"Come on Buyo! Get the string! Get it kitty!" Kagome laughed at the cat's lazy attempts to capture the string dangling from her fingers. Trying to forget all the things that had gone wrong with the day she focused on the cat and other non-related-to-delicate-matter-things. It was Christmas Eve tonight and she had to be in a festive mood. Everyone had gone last minute shopping and she was at home by herself since Hogo left. Dinner wouldn't be for a good four hours and she didn't expect anyone home until then. So much time to kill.
Noises at the window alerted her and she glanced up to see a shivering Inuyasha climbing through her window. "What do you want?" she said, standing up and placing her hands on her hips.
Inuyasha could hear the hurt in her voice and see it in her eyes. I'm such a jerk, he thought to himself. "I'm sorry," he simply replied. Kagome looked at him suspiciously and frowned. Inuyasha never apologized for anything.
All of a sudden Inuyasha's eyes widened and he seemed to do a double take. "What are you wearing," he asked with his mouth hanging open. He circled around her inspecting the new outfit. She blushed at the way he was looking at her.
"I know it's different, but I wanted to be festive and stuff so.....yah. It's green...."
Inuyasha eyed her new clothing with interest. It certainly showed off her figure nicely. The jade necklace was a beautiful addition, as much as he hated to admit it. "I like it," he grinned. Kagome shook her head and sighed, sitting on the bed next to her now sleeping kitty. Petting Buyo gently she felt Inuyasha's eyes on her.
"Who was that human?" Inuyasha asked innocently. She felt her cheek redden and shrugged casually.
"Just a friend from school," she replied hastily. Inuyasha nodded slowly.
"Oh."
An awkward silence followed and Inuyasha suddenly seemed very interested in Kagome's wallpaper.
"Do you want to make a snowman?" Kagome blurted out, saying the first thing that came to mind.
"A what?" Kagome smiled at the cute way he cocked his head to the side and jumped up from the bed, grabbing his hand.
"Come on! I'll show you!" Kagome dragged Inuyasha into the front hall and put on a warm jacket and mittens and put a spare jacket on Inuyasha. She looked him up and down and giggled. Pink was not his colour. Realizing his bare feet weren't really a good idea, she forced him into a pair of Sota's boots after much arguing and fighting.
She finished by dragging him outside and left him on the front steps, pouting like a little kid. He hated shoes. Snow fell softly as she rolled a snowball in her hands and began pushing it around the yard to gather snow and form the base. Inuyasha watched her in interest and when she was done she had a giant ball of snow.
"Um?" he asked a little confused, "is there a point to this?"
"Now you make one!" she giggled. Kagome showed him how to pack snow into a ball and he began to push it around the yard, feeling quite foolish. She told him when to stop and instructed him to place it on top of the other one. He watched her make one more smaller ball and plunk it on top.
"Now," she said in a satisfied tone, "all we need is a face and arms." Inuyasha gave her a look that clearly said 'you're insane' and she caught him off guard, face washing him with a snowball.
Inuyasha stood blinking against the whiteness for a minute then growled. Kagome ran away laughing and he made another snowball like she had shown him. Aiming for her back, he sent it flying and she tried to duck, getting snow all over her head. Inuyasha grinned evilly, getting the hang of it and began missile firing snowballs by the second. Kagome laughed helplessly and ran behind the tree to escape his barrage of snowballs coming her way.
He smugly walked towards her and she threw a snowball at him. Smirking, he watched it miss him by a mile and hit a branch over his head. "Missed!" he yelled triumphantly at her. A large drift of snow fell from the branch onto his head. Kagome giggled wildly, trying desperately not to burst out laughing again and ran for it when she saw his face.
She didn't make it very far before Inuyasha tackled her down in the snow. Hearing warm laughter she looked at him in shock. Inuyasha rarely laughed in an un-cruel way and the way his face lit up was adorable. She tried to push him off, but he was too strong for her. Scooping up some snow, she stuffed it down his back and he yelped while she laughed.
"You haven't won yet," Inuyasha growled jokingly and pinned Kagome to the ground. She struggled helplessly, but Inuyasha had her arms pinned firmly down. Cackling evilly he let go of one of her arms and tickled her. Kagome laughed until tears ran down her cheeks and she was gasping for air.
"Knock......it.....off!" she breathed, in between bursts of laughter. Inuyasha smiled down at her and she blushed, realizing he was on top of her. She could feel the cool wetness of snow starting to seep into the back of her sweater through the jacket. Clearing her throat she gave Inuyasha a look. Ignoring her he leaned down closer to her face. He was so close their lips were almost brushing against each other.
"Kagome........," Inuyasha whispered nervously....................
