Hi!
Once again, I apologize for the uber-crappy title! )
12/04 And just a note: INUYASHA MOVIE 4 (Crimson Horai Island) COMES OUT THIS THURSDAY (Thursday, December 24, 2004) OMFG I AM SO EXCITED! YESH! YESH!YESH! DDD! .!
Heh, well I must say that was an amazing movie. I did end up seeing it and enjoyed it thoroughly, though I still believe the second is best.
Chapter 4 - One Heck of a Train Ride
Inuyasha stood up stretching out his limbs.
He had been in the cramped space far too long. When his legs had started going numb, he knew it was time to get out. He couldn't reach the zipper so he had had to use his claws and rip the bag open. He looked over at it, or what was left of it.
I'll have to find another one to give her.
He looked around the little room.
Where am I? He wondered. He heard a soft 'click, click, click.' Looking out the window he saw that the ground was moving. What in the world? He was suddenly scared. Wait a sec. I know what this is. This is one of those things that moves by itself!
His fear disappeared as quickly as it had come. He turned around and saw Kagome on the bed. He tiptoed over to her and just stood there, watching her. She looked so serene and calm.
How could I ever have hurt her?
His hands curled into fists.
How did I let this happen?
He felt immense anger for his loss of control. He should have been able to control his emotions. Even without Tetsusaiga, he shouldn't have transformed just because of the anger and sorrow he had felt and still felt. He promised himself he would never let Tetsusaiga out of his sight again.
But in the meantime he had Kagome to worry about.
I guess I'll wait until she wakes up… He thought.
He stood, staring out the window.
Kagome awoke with a start, a cold sweat covering her forehead.
What was that? She thought. She had just relived the afternoon of Inuyasha's youkai transformation. She was shaking slightly, and her eyes were clouded with tears. Having to go through it once was bad enough… but twice!
But something else about the dream was bothering her.
She hadn't seen the dream from her point of view, but as if she was staring down at the forest from the clouds. She'd seen Inuyasha and Kikyo together, right before Inuyasha had come to where she and Sango had been standing.
She'd seen Kikyo walk away… And then it was as if her form had completely disappeared. Inuyasha had chased after the undead miko but he too, found she was gone.
It was then that he had turned demon.
Was it only a dream?
Or had Kikyo really disappeared?
What did it mean?
She rolled over onto her side and stared blankly at the wall. I thought I was supposed to be relaxing. Now all I'm going to be doing is worrying about my friends.
A sense of deep remorse washed over her.
I just wish it hadn't happened this way. She was deep in thought when she heard a rustling noise coming from her suitcase. She sensed a familiar presence and peeked, her eyes barely open.
INUYASHA? She thought. What is he doing here?
Her body tensed with fear and she shut her eyes tight, thinking that maybe she was still dreaming. She willed herself to wake up but finally realized she really wasn't dreaming. Her heart began to beat rapidly and she knew she would have to face Inuyasha sooner or later. Her body tensed with fear.
The sooner the better… I guess…
But just to be safe, she said,
"Osuwari."
Inuyasha crashed into the floor as Kagome sat up. He looked up at her with a confused expression.
"You're awake?" He asked.
She nodded, her eyes filled with fear, her hands digging into the sheets. She took a deep breath and boldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I…I'm… Well…" He mumbled. He just couldn't bring himself to look at her. He was racked with guilt.
"Inuyasha?" She asked quietly. "Why are you here?"
He slowly stood up. He made to move towards her. She inched away slightly.
He stopped and looked at her with a hurt expression.
"I… I'm so sorry…" He whispered.
She looked at him with mock confusion and asked for what. And then a strange thought crossed her mind.
Maybe, she thought, if I pretend it never happened we could get on with our lives. After all, Inuyasha usually did not remember what happened when he was demon.
"Kagome…" He moved towards her, and sat on the bed beside her. He could see her trembling and his heart stung painfully. "I never meant for it to happen…"
Kagome let go of the blankets and exhaled. She put her hands together in her lap and tried to stop them from shaking. Why am I so afraid…? He does have Tetsusaiga…
"W-What do you m-mean?" She questioned
Ignore it and it will go away.
If she could forgot about it then everything would be ok.
But she could see the hurt in his eyes…
Inuyasha stood up and walked a few feet away from the bed, his back to her.
"I shouldn't have let it happen…" He stood frozen for a minute, and then he seemed to burst. Words came spilling out as he turned back to her. "I'm sorry for attacking you. I never meant to hurt you. I just lost control. I don't know how I let it happen… But you've got to understand…"
Kagome had never seen him like this. It was as if he was having an emotional break down. Not too different than she had had the past afternoon with Yuka.
She could see how distraught he was over what had happened.
She was doing her best to forgive him. But… something in her was holding her back. She just didn't feel the same anymore. Something within her was lost. Something she and Inuyasha had shared.
Trust.
"U-Understand what…?" She asked finally, breaking the silence. Inuyasha stared at her with dead eyes and uttered an explanation.
"Before I attacked you… I was with Kikyo…"
"I know!" She interrupted him, anger coating her voice. Why does he have to bring up Kikyo at a time like this! "You don't need to remind me."
Inuyasha tensed and looked at her with hurt eyes.
"I was with Kikyo because she was saying goodbye, ok!" He exclaimed. Kagome jumped in surprise at his outburst. It took her a moment to comprehend what he had said. And when she finally realized what he'd just told her, she was overwhelmed with a feeling of guilt.
She ran to Inuyasha and embraced him.
"Oh my god… I'm so sorry!" She cried, tears flowing down her face. And this entire time she had thought Inuyasha had been with Kikyo for a completely different reason. And that he had attacked her just because of jealousy of Kouga. "I… I had no idea."
She pulled him tighter and leaned her head against his chest, whispering apologies.
"Kagome… It's alright…" He consoled. "I just want you to know that I never meant for it to happen. I would never ever want to hurt you…"
She looked up at him with tear filled eyes. Her dream made sense now. Kikyo had left him.
"I know." She took his hands and held them between them. "I understand. And as much… As much as I disliked Kikyo… I know how you feel… To lose someone you love…" She shook her head. She could only imagine. "I… I can't blame you for becoming overwhelmed by your feelings." All of her anger was gone and had been replaced by sympathy. If only she had known…
Her fear of him had been abandoned as well. She knew he wouldn't hurt her again. It would take her a while, but in time, she could learn to trust him again. Without enemies to face and people to interfere the two could get on with their lives… Their relationship.
For a moment Kagome and Inuyasha stood together in a silent state of serene bliss.
And then Inuyasha broke the silence.
"So… Kagome… Where are we going?"
Kagome put a hand to her mouth and began to laugh. The anger, sadness and stress her body had housed was all washed away. She laughed at Inuyasha's annoyed look.
"Really? Where are we going?"
Kagome smiled and said, "My cottage."
"Oh."
"Don't worry, we're just going for a couple weeks…"
"What!" Inuyasha asked, surprised.
"Yeah… My mom sort of planned it for me…" Kagome smiled weakly and continued, "Don't worry. It'll be… fun. There's only one problem."
Inuyasha asked her what.
"Well… I cant let you run around in your kimono. People would-"
"But I've come here before and you never said anything, about it."
"Yeah well… We're on a train and there's going to be a lot of people when we get off… I just don't want to attract attention."
Inuyasha nodded , not daring to ask what a train was.
Kagome sat down on the bed and wondered what she was going to do when she heard Inuyasha say, "Oh shit! I forgot!"
She looked at up at him a jumped in surprise.
Inuyasha was human.
He looked up at her. His long silver hair had been replaced with black hair. His fangs and claws were gone, replaced by normal teeth and fingernails. His eyes had changed from their normal amber colour, to a dark brown. Lastly, his dog ears had disappeared, and two human ones appeared at the sides of his head.
"I… I forgot." he repeated. She walked to his side.
"I guess this'll make it a lot easier to get off the train unnoticed.." She smiled sweetly. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and cursed his human body.
Then he remembered something. He bit his lip and debated whether or not to tell Kagome… About the suitcase.
"Ano… Kagome?"
"Hai, Inuyasha?" she asked.
He walked over to where the remains of the suitcase lay. "I hope you aren't angry, I sorta destroyed your bag."
She collapsed onto the bed. Smacking her hand onto her forehead, glaring at Inuyasha. She now understand how he had gotten here.
"Oi! That had all my clothes in it! Inuyasha no baka! Now what am I going to do? I have no clothes."
What am I supposed to do now? She wondered.
"Wait a sec." She reached into the pocket of her pants. Her fingers slid around the smooth leather of her wallet. She grasped it and pulled it out. "Yes! Here it is."
Inuyasha sat down on the bed and slid closer to her staring intently at it. She unfolded it and took out some bills. She had about 17, 000 yen. It was money she had saved from past birthdays.
"See, this is our form of money. We use it to buy things like food, clothes, and other stuff."
"Oh…" He said understandingly, even though he was still very confused. Kagome saw the look on his face and smiled. "Don't worry, it's not really important. I'll just need this to get us some clothes."
"But why cant I just wear my kimono? I do every other time I'm here." He asked
"Well, we're going to be here for a while... It would just be better. I don't want to attract attention. We're lucky tonight is your human night."
"Keh, speak for yourself." He replied. "So then how can I walk off the train wearing this?"
"Oh… I don't know, but we'll have to think up something fast." She said pausing to think of a solution. "Ha! I know." She stood up and turned to look at Inuyasha, who was still sitting on the bed. "You wait here, I'll be back in a minute. Don't go anywhere!" She said menacingly, pointing her finger at him.
"Don't worry I wont." He said.
She strode briskly over to the door and opened it a crack. But before disappearing through it, she gave Inuyasha one more scowl. "I mean it!"
She closed the door behind her and looked around. She was in the dining car. She stood there, unsure of what to do.
"Excuse me miss. Do you need something?" A curious waiter asked.
"Oh… uh. Yes." She said snapping out of her thoughts. "Could you tell me where the gift shop is?"
"Sure, follow me." He said politely.
He moved swiftly between the tables, making sure not to bump into anyone. They quickly arrived at a door and he said, "Right through here."
"Arigato gozaimasu." She said.
She walked through the door way into a room that was full with shelves and countertops. She was looking around when an old lady came up behind her.
"Konbanwa." Said the old woman cheerfully. Kagome turned around and greeted the woman.
"What can I help you with?" The old woman asked politely.
"Well I needs to buy some clothes. Men's clothes." She replied.
"Sure, over there, in the right corner." The old woman went back over behind the cash register.
Kagome walked over to the corner to find a crowded countertop. It had a few different t-shirts on it, as well as a couple pairs of sweat pants.
Hmm.. I wonder what size he is. She thought. She grabbed a plain, medium, black t-shirt and held it up. This looks big enough.
Now, onto pants. She looked over the different pairs of pants. She finally settled on a pair of grey baggy sweats. I guess a medium would do well for these too. She grabbed them as well as a pair of sandals. She walked up to the register and laid the shirt and pants on the countertop, in front of the woman. " I would like to buy these, please."
"Sure," The woman said scanning the tags. "That will be 4,329 yen."
Kagome opened her wallet and took out a few bills. She handed it to the woman, who opened the cash register put it in. She took out the change and handed it to Kagome. She folded the t-shirt and pants and put them in a bag.
"Ah, arigato." Kagome said. She took the bag and walked back over to the door. She opened it and stepped back into the dining cart.
Making her way around the tables she found the door that led to her private cabin. She opened it and looked in.
Oh dear gods! Where in the hells in Inuyasha? She looked around to check that he really wasn't there. I told him to stay here. Why couldn't he just listen?
"Inuyasha?" She called out, she made to turn around and as she did Inuyasha pounced on her, knocking her onto the bed.
Kagome shrieked in fright and dropped her bag as she was pushed. She yelled, "Osuwari!" as a sort of reflex and heard a loud crash. She took a breath and looked down. Inuyasha was lying on the floor.
She began to laugh and Inuyasha looked up at her.
"Well that's what you get for trying to scare me." She apologized and told him it was just her reflex to say 'the word,' though he didn't seem to believe her.
She stood up and looked around for the bag she had dropped. She spotted it beside the door. Walking over and picking it up, she said, "Inuyasha, come here for a sec!"
Inuyasha obliged and walked over to her.
"Here, I got you some clothes." She said pushing the bag toward him. "Go and put these on in the bathroom." She pointed him towards the room. He grabbed the bag from her and went into the room.
Kagome walked over to the bed and sat down, feeling exhausted. I thought this was supposed to be stress-free!
I've been with Inuyasha for less than an hour and I'm already tired. Humph! Well at least I know that Kikyo is finally at peace. I honestly-
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha called stirring her from her thoughts.
"What?" She called back.
"Come here!" He commanded.
She sighed and got up. She wandered over to the bathroom and opened the door.
"Nani?" She asked.
"Look! I look so… so stupid!" He said.
Kagome looked him over. He looked pretty good. The top fit just right. It showed off his well toned chest. The sweats weren't bad either. They were quite cute on him. She smiled. Wow, he really looks good in those clothes. Much better than that baggy kimono.
"Inuyasha, they look fine." Actually they look better than fine, she thought with a smile.
"What are you staring at?" He asked angrily.
"Nothing. You look great in those." She thought out loud. She let out a surprised "Oh," realizing what she had said. She began blushing furiously.
"Keh." He said crossing his arms.
I cannot believe I just said that out loud, Kagome thought, mentally smacking herself.
I cannot believe she just said that out loud, Inuyasha thought happily. He had a hard time keeping the sly grin off his face.
"What are you so happy about?" The girl asked, looking at the grin that so resembled the pervert houshi, when he was about to grope Sango. She shuddered.
"Nothing." He said. "What am I supposed to do with Tetsusaiga?" He asked.
"J-Just… Hold onto it… Whatever you do… D-Don't let it go…" She said awkwardly. She didn't care how strange he looked walking down the street with a sword.
Inuyasha's stomach dropped.
She still doesn't trust me… And it's my human night! I cant even transform if I wanted to… He sighed, feeling overwhelming sadness. How could he get her to trust him again?
Kagome broke the silence by walking out of the bathroom. She put his kimono into a bag and handed it to him. He took it from and was about to leave the small bathroom when a sound scared the two of them.
-Knock, knock, knock.-
"Sumimasen, miss?" An attendant asked from the door.
"Inuyasha stay here and don't make a sound." She whispered. He nodded and walked back to the bathroom, staying hidden behind the door.
Kagome walked to the door and opened it. "Yes?" She asked.
"We are arriving at your stop."
"Arigato."
The boy bowed and walked away. Kagome closed the door, her hand lingering on the metal handle. I guess this is it...
The beginning to a new future.
"Inuyasha?" She called.
"Yeah? Can I come out now?" He asked.
"Hai…" She heard the click of the bathroom door opening. Inuyasha stepped out and looked at her.
"Why are you standing there?" He asked, noticing the weird expression on her face.
"Oh… Sorry just daydreaming" She said wearily.
"What did that kid want?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"He just wanted to tell me that we've arrived at my stop." She looked up into Inuyasha's deep dark brown eyes. Her mood suddenly changed. She smiled. "Inuyasha come on let's go!" She ran over to him and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the door. He smiled and held her small hand.
This feels so right, thought Kagome. I'll do my best… to learn to trust him… I promise.
She grabbed her two bags and shifted them into one hand, so she could still hold Inuyasha's.
And so they walked, off the train, into the darkness of the night. People around watched this funny couple. They stared in envy, just looking at the way the two held hands and smiled. (Though a few were a little intimidated by the sword the boy carried.) They were in love. And it was the truest kind of love. With out worry or fear. It was pure.
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha.
"Come on, this way." Walking toward the road, she put down the suitcases. She stuck her arms out waving. She was trying to flag down a cab.
"What the hell are you doing?" asked Inuyasha.
"I'm trying to get us a cab."
"What's a cab?"
"Do you remember what a car is?" She asked, Inuyasha nodded. "Well a cab is someone you pay to drive you to a place. My cabin is a fair distance away so it'll be quicker to drive."
"Well…Why don't you just get on my back. We could get there quicker than taking a stupid 'cab.'" He said, completely confused at what she had just said.
"Number one, you're human tonight. Number two, people aren't used to seeing a human girl and a dog boy jumping through the sky. The last thing we need is attention."
Inuyasha muttered something that sounded like stupid, weak humans.
Kagome ignored him and turned back to the road. Finally a yellow coloured taxi pulled up to the curb. She opened the door and urged Inuyasha in.
"Just go and sit down." She told him. He reluctantly obeyed, climbing into the vehicle.
The driver opened the trunk and Kagome put her bags inside.
"Your boyfriend crazy about kendo or something?" The man asked.
She blushed and started to tell him that he wasn't her boyfriend, but stopped herself. What do I care if he thinks Inuyasha's my boyfriend?
"Oh yeah… We're going to his, uh, competition tomorrow… He's just, you know, really protective of his sword.. It's a family heirloom."
"Right.." The man nodded in understanding, closing the trunk.
Kagome walked around the side of the car and opened the door. She got in and put her seat belt on. She reached over and pulled Inuyasha's on. Inuyasha huffed, and mumbled "I knew that."
"So, where to?" Asked the driver.
"Ano… Onotoko Road, number 43." She told him..
He nodded and the car took off, speeding down the road. Inuyasha, very unfamiliar with this form of travel, became very frightened. His fingernails dug into the sheath of Tetsusaiga.
Kagome looked at him and sensed his fear. This was his first time actually riding in a car. She had shown them to him before, but he had never dared go near one.
Kagome reached over to his hand and held it.
"Calm down." She whispered soothingly.
He looked over at her and smiled in thanks. He held her hand tightly and looked out the window, at the blurring scenery.
Aw, this chapter is so cute! I'm happy with how Kagome's character turned out for this chapter.. she didnt just be all apologetic but she actually was still frightened and what not. But I am still so happy that she did forgive him! Of course, it woulda been better if he had never done it in the first place ;.;
Chotto Matte! wait a sec...
It's my story... I can make the characters do anything.. -devilish giggle.. er laugh-
That gives me a good idea... : D
Welcome to Kellai-chan's "I can make the characters of Inuyasha do whatever I want" game show!
And now, let's introduce the characters!
Kagome -Kagome walks on- A teenage school girl, with a major dependacy problem, who fell down a well and was transported into the Sengoku Jidai. Oh, and she has a thing for the word "osuwari" (I mean wtf is up what that!) -Kagome gives the host, Kellai-chan, the evil eye but then bursts into fits of giggles.-
Inuyasha -Inuyasha walks on- A hanyou who needs to get over his dead girlfriend and has uber-kawaii puppy ears -Begins pulling out Tetsusaiga, to murder Kellai-chan, but a bucket of cement is thrown on his body, and uber powerful fans appear beside him and blow the cement, drying it.- Inuyasha can no long move
Miroku -Miroku walks on- A travelling monk with a kazaana in his hand (That attracts sympathy from pretty girls) and a man that really should to register with the sex-offenders listing. -Miroku attempts to grope Kellai-chan, but she conjures up a magical rosary that goes around his neck. She shouts "HENTAI" and he slams into the ground. Inuyasha laughs hysterically.-
Sango -Sango walks on- A taijiya who's entire village and familywas murdered and who's brother is (oh screw it. I cant think of anything bad about Sango. And she's been through too much already ) -POOF Sango magically disappears-
Sesshomauru -Sesshy walks on- A full demon and Inuyasha;s half brother who thinks he's to good for the world. Oh, and he looks good in make-up P
And last but not least
Naraku -Naraku glides on- A evil half demon (erm.. i guess full considering he got rid of his human heart) who has underling-itis (A rare disease where one gets his underlings or puppets/ coppies of himself to do everything.) and who has a fetish for monkey pelts.
And now, on with the show.
Today, the characters of Inuyasha will be taking requests from the audience.
Inuyasha: What the fuck! Why am I here?- wriggles around, trying to break free of cement-
Kellai-chan: Muahahahaha! That is Inuyasha-Proof Cement -Pulls out a bucket with a picture of Inuyasha on front. It says "Inuyasha-Proof Cement"- Remember kids, when buying cement, make sure to ask for Inuyasha-Proof Cement.
Sesshomauru: I think I'd like a bucket of that... Wait! I, Lord Sesshomauru, shall not be bought over by crappy endorsments. Besides, its too expensive.
Kellai-chan: And now, we'll take our first request! -runs up to random audience memeber with hand up- Uh, yeeeeees? What is your request?
Random Audience Member: Like, Oh my gawd! I totally want Inuyasha and Sesshomauru to kiss!
Inuyasha: You are trully sick in the head!
Kellai-chan:-Laughs hysterically- Well you heard them, boys!
Sesshomauru: I shall not! You disgusting human with your disgusting requests! I've had enough of this. I'm leaving. turns around and begins walking in a random direction
Kellai-chan: Oh no your not, Sesshy-chan!
Sesshomauru: -Stops dead in his tracks- What... What did you just call me?
Kellai-chan: What are you talking about, SESSHY-CHAN? -devilish laugh-. Now, on with the request. -Runs up to Sesshoumaru and with super human (er. demon) strength, pushes Sesshomaru to Inuyasha, who is stuck in cement.-
Inuyasha Yaoi fangirls(and boys) all over the world are sitting on the edges of their seats as Sesshomaurus head inches closer to Inuyasha's...
ER... MAYBE NOT!
I think I'll stick to writing using the character's original personality...
I am not ever.. ever going to force them.. to er... do something they wouldnt want (and Takahashi-san) wouldnt .. er..approve of.
And besides.. I'm not an fangirl of Inuyasha Yaoi... Thats just plain wrong!
-'Ahem' Regains composure.- Well then, I suppose that's all for now.
See ya next time!
