Run if You Know What's Good for You!
The last week has been quite an interesting one for Inu-Yasha.
He just finished his first week at Takahashi High and has gone through a wide
array of experiences. He has taken out the school bully and womanizer with a
single punch, destroyed a mukade youkai
just before his first class, had the romantic interest of three beautiful women
who he had interests in as well, had his first kiss followed by his first
girlfriend.
The hanyou did enjoy this school week, but is very
glad that it is now the weekend. Currently he and Saeko
are in his apartment watching television in his living room. Inu-Yasha is sitting down on his couch with his arms
sprawled out behind him and the neko girl is snuggled
up against his right side, twirling a finger through some of his long silver
hair.
The young woman feels a type of content when she is with the inu boy that she has never felt before. For her entire
life, she has felt an emptiness inside of her that had deeply desired to be
filled...and not the kind of emptiness left from the loss of a loved one, but
the emptiness for a yearning for someone. She realized some time ago that what
she wanted more than anything was for someone like her to be with her. She is
beautiful and a great woman, but the fact that she is part youkai
deters most men, therefore keeping that emptiness inside of her quite empty. Inu-Yasha now fills that void for her.
Saeko averts her gaze from the television and looks
up at the hanyou boy's handsome features, both
admiring him and realizing how happy she is now that she has him. Inu-Yasha
notices out of the corner of his eye that she is looking up at him so he turns
his head down towards her, his deep golden orbs getting lost in her sea of deep
forest green. He grins that cocky grin of his,
the one that always makes her heart flutter. The hanyou
boy reaches down and gently lifts her face up by her chin and leans in for a
soft kiss.
The neko girl digs her hands into Inu-Yasha's
silky silver hair and pulls him in closer, deepening the kiss. They both pull
back after a few seconds to get some air. The inu boy
nips at her lower lip, eliciting a small giggle from her. "You're sure in
a playful mood," she coos at him.
"I can't help it," he begins, shrugging slightly, "you just
bring it out in me."
"Really? I'm flattered!" she giggles back at
him. Her giggles suddenly become shriller as Inu-Yasha
starts to tickle her sensitive sides with his clawed hands. His claws make it a
lot easier for him to tickle the neko girl, who is
now sprawled on the ground, trying desperately to escape the hanyou boy's grasp. "Stop...please...I'm...gonna...pee...my...pants!" she gasps between breaths.
Inu-Yasha chuckles and stops his assault on Saeko, but quickly grabs her hands and pins her to the
ground while he is sitting on top of her, straddling her. He gazes down at the neko girl, admiring her beauty. Her long black hair is
sprawled out on the floor and her 'Hello Kitty' headband lies beside her,
having slipped off during her struggle with the inu hanyou. Her face is flushed and is glistening slightly with
sweat while her cat-ears twitch every now and then, also being worn out from
her laughter. Her chest rapidly rises and falls through her heavy breathing.
The hanyou boy leans in close, rubbing his nose
against hers in an affectionate way. Saeko leans up
to catch her lips in Inu-Yasha's,
but he has other plans. With a small smirk, he tilts his head to the side while
moving down, kissing the hanyou girl on her neck and
getting a soft moan in response. He starts to move his kisses lower and lower.
He just reaches the strange black jewel that is imbedded in the middle of her
chest and has been since her birth...when her cel
phone rings.
They both sigh in frustration. "I thought you put that thing on silent or
something," he growls at her while getting back up on his couch.
"So did I," she grumbles back, standing up
and putting her 'Hello Kitty' headband back on. She walks over to her purse and
pulls out her ringing cel phone, answering it with a
kind, "Hello?" She pauses for a moment to listen and then responds,
"Oh Hi Daddy!" in a faked cheerful voice. "No, I'm just hanging
out with Inu-Yasha." She pauses for another
moment. "No, we're not doing anything really important...just hanging
out." Her voice sounds slightly strained as she gives the hanyou next to her an apologetic look.
Inu-Yasha snorts in amusement. With a devilish glint
in his eyes, he walks behind Saeko and places his
hands on her hips while leaning to her right side and kissing her neck again.
The hanyou girl bites her lip, torn between trying to
talk to her father on her phone and moaning from the pleasurable feelings Inu-Yasha is giving her from kissing her neck.
"Y...yes Daddy," she stutters out, "I...I'll be home in a little
bit." She closes her eyes and takes a sharp intake of breath before
saying, "Bye Daddy," and hanging up. The neko
lets her head fall back onto the inu's shoulder,
putting her hands on top of his and letting him continue. "You know I have
to leave soon."
"Well then we should make the most of out time," he says before
turning her around and pulling the hanyou girl in
close for a passionate lip lock, which she greedily returns while wrapping her
arms around his neck.

A little while later, Saeko
comes skipping on into her house, a cheerful smile on her face. "I'm home
Daddy!" she calls out.
Mr. Orikasa enters from the kitchen, wiping his hands
off on a towel. He walks up to her and gives her a kiss on her forehead.
"Hello sweetheart, how was your day?" He frowns slightly at the
bemused smile that has appeared on her face and the mild blush adorning her
cheeks.
"It was...nice." She looks up at his face, noting the frown and his
questioning eyes. "Nothing happened Daddy!"
she quickly yells out. "We just kissed a little bit and that's all!
Honestly!"
The young woman's father takes one look at her pleading face, clasped hands and
drooping cat-ears and begins to chuckle. It's times like these that remind him
so much of his dearly departed wife, Saeko's mother.
"I trust you, but I would like to meet this infamous Inu-Yasha
fellow. I'm interested in seeing this boy who has stolen my baby girl's
heart!"
"Daddy," she whines, shoving him aside while her face burns from
embarrassment, "I'm like 15 years old! I'm not a baby anymore!"
Mr. Orikasa sighs while in thought. "I know. You
never worried me this much when you were a baby."
"Daddy!"

One month later...
______
Inu-Yasha and Saeko are
still together, much to the resentment and jealousy of Kagome and Kikyo. Both women have now accepted the fact that they have
lost the battle for the young man's affections...for now. Kikyo
and Kagome have still stayed close to the inu hanyou in hopes of possibly getting through to him and
changing his interests. Both women are strong and capable and have never been
known for giving up easily on something they desire, meaning probable trouble
for Inu-Yasha in the near future.
Though problems will arise in their relationship in the future, both of the
young hanyous are content with being with each other
and enjoying life as much as they can. Currently, Inu-Yasha
is at school, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive. Time is running short and
the first class of the day is about to begin and still, no Saeko.
The inu boy sighs impatiently and looks behind him to
check one of the wall mounted clocks. Just as he does, the bell rings,
signifying that the first period class will be starting shortly. Inu-Yasha shakes his head slightly and walks off to class,
muttering, "Where are you Saeko?"
______
Inu-Yasha enters Professor Higurashi's
classroom and takes a seat, his eyes constantly darting over to the door in
hopes of seeing a certain young hanyou girl enter at
any moment. When his sensitive dog-ears catch the sounds of someone, more
importantly the sounds of a woman, walking towards the entrances, his instantly
perks up. He is disappointed...well...only slightly, when Kikyo
comes walking in, walking in with a grace that is seemingly unmatched by even a
supermodel and wearing one of her usual female business suits. He can't help
but notice that the skirt is slightly shorter than it usually is, showing off
more of her tantalizing legs than normal.
The instructor makes her way over to her desk and sits down, opening her
briefcase as she does so. She quickly takes attendance and as usual, her
radiant blue-gray eyes linger on Inu-Yasha for just a
little longer than the rest of the students. When she eyes the empty spot next
to him, where Saeko is normally seated, she looks
back at him and gives the hanyou boy a warm smile.
Inu-Yasha quickly averts his gaze at the professor's,
looking down at his desk. 'What's so great about me?' he thinks to himself. 'I
don't understand why all of these girls like to throw themselves at my feet.
They always say out loud that I'm an angry and cold guy, but I see the looks in
their eyes when I pass them. I'm not that special.' He diverts his attention
back to Kikyo, who has begun to speak.
"Alright class, today is the quiz I have been speaking of for the last
week." She pauses to smile at the many groans now heard throughout the
classroom. "I am afraid that groaning and whining will not allow you to
pass on the quiz. It is only over all of the material we have covered in this
first month so if you have been paying attention, you shall do well." She
grabs a stack of paper and proceeds to hand them out to each student. As she
gives one to Inu-Yasha, she intentionally brushes up
against him.
The inu hanyou does feel
her brush up against him, as she does like to take small opportunities like
this to get close to him, but it isn't until she starts to walk away that he
notices something different. Her scent has changed slightly. She still smells
of wildflowers and that warm, earthly scent, but now it has mixed up with...
'Oh crap,' the young hanyou thinks in distress.
'She's in human heat.' He tenses up as his body begins to react to the scent
and his youkai urges begin to overtake him. He closes
his eyes and tries to banish the feelings and urges away. 'Something's wrong.
It has never been this powerful with any full human women I've met before. Why
is it so different with her?'
Kikyo sits back down at her desk, her eyes quickly
darting up to where Inu- Yasha
is sitting. She allows a sly smile to spread across her face as she takes in
his tense body and strained face. 'He definitely smelled it,' she thinks to
herself. The young woman pulls out a small vial from her briefcase that is
partly filled with a light blue liquid. 'I must go and thank miko Kaede once again for this
potion and for the book on youkai instincts. I knew
that Inu-Yasha could resist me when I was in my
normal 'heat' but I never knew that his youkai
instincts would take over his body when they smell a female youkai
in heat. This potion will assure that Inu- Yasha will soon be mine!'
This is the first time in his life that the poor hanyou
boy has struggled through a test of any kind. He is not struggling because he
does not know the material on the quiz, which he does and he can easily ace it,
but because of his youkai instincts, which are
currently telling him to leap over to Professor Higurashi
and take her on the spot. Somehow, he is able to control himself and finish up
the quiz, despite his trembling hands.
A while later, the instructor lifts her left hand and checks the time on her
wristwatch. "Okay now class, time is up. Drop your pencils and allow me to
gather up your quizzes." A couple of groans follow, but every student
obeys what the professor says. She stands up and begins to go up and down the
aisles, getting all the quizzes back. She looks over at Inu-Yasha,
who is torn between apprehension and raw lust. She begins to feel weak in the
knees at the sight of his golden eyes devouring her entire body. 'Perhaps this
was not such a good idea after all,' she worriedly thinks while nearing the hanyou. 'I am feeling sensations I have never felt
before...and they are so powerful! I...I am finding it increasingly difficult
to control myself. What did that potion do to me?'
Kikyo makes her way up to the inu
hanyou. Her heart beats faster and harder with each
step she takes towards him until it is loud enough for Inu-Yasha
to hear, causing his sensitive dog-ears to twitch ever so slightly. As she
reaches out to grab his test, he notices that her hand is trembling as much as
his are. The scent and nearness of her heat intoxicates his senses, nullifying
his mind and common sense. The instructor grabs his quiz and begins to pull
away when he suddenly puts his hand on hers, getting a small gasp from Kikyo. He starts to pull her in closer to him...when the
bell signifying the end of class rings, snapping him out of his trance like
state.
Professor Higurashi looks up quickly at the ringing
bell. When she looks back down, Inu-Yasha has fled
his seat and is already on his way out of the class. Kikyo
holds herself together until the last student leaves and then she collapses onto
the hanyou boy's seat, one hand on her forehead while
the other clutches her chest, trying to calm down her still extremely rapidly
beating heart. "On second thought," she mutters under her breath,
"I think I will not thank that miko for that
potion."
______
Inu-Yasha goes through the rest of the day, being
careful to avoid Professor Higurashi and her
classroom at all costs. He has no idea as to why her scent was so powerful but
he knows that it is wise to keep his distance, lest he loose control like he
was starting to earlier. Add that to the fact that Saeko
has been a no show all day and that equals up to one very confused and grumpy inu hanyou. Most all of the other
students notice and steer clear of him when he walks by.
Soon the school day is over and Inu-Yasha couldn't be
happier. "Where the hell are you Saeko?" he
grumbles while making his way to his locker, "I would've had a much better
day if you were here." He is now so distracted by his thoughts that he
doesn't realize that he is nearing Kikyo's classroom
until it is too late. As soon as he passes her class, the scent of her powerful
'heat' attacks his senses, causing his body to convulsively tremble.
Inside the classroom, Kikyo notices some movement
just outside of her door. She turns and is surprised to see Inu-Yasha
looking at her, his face strained and his body trembling slightly. 'The potion
must still be in affect,' she thinks to herself. Suddenly, a strange yet
alluring scent meets her nostrils. It is a very musky scent and it is beginning
to drive her wild on the inside. A tremendous warmth
grows in her lower abdomen and she gets a supreme urge to mate. The instructor
doesn't understand why this is happening to her. Her eyes go wide as a sudden
thought comes to her. 'That potion.it has given me youkai senses! I remember reading that a youkai female in heat is dangerous to be around, especially
for any male, whether he is human, hanyou or youkai. What have I done?' She clears her thought loudly,
getting the hanyou's attention. "Inu...Inu-Yasha," she begins
in a quavering voice, "I think it wise to leave and go home now. Ple...please enjoy the rest of your day."
"Uh...um, you too," he replies before turning around and leaving in a
hurry.
Kikyo sighs deeply and lays her head against her
desk. "That is the last time I try something so foolish to try to gain his
affections. I am quite glad that this.this so called
'love potion for youkai' only lasts a short while
longer. I do not think that I could have controlled myself for much longer in
front of Inu-Yasha. I am amazed that all females with
youkai blood in them go through such a time."
She closes her briefcase and stands up. "I need a strong drink and a cold
shower."
______
Inu-Yasha walks down the sidewalk, not really caring
where he is going since his mind is otherwise occupied. He is jarred from his
thoughts when he accidentally bumps into someone who falls onto the ground and
drops their large yellow bag, spilling out its contents. He looks down and sees
flowing raven hair covering the young girl's face. He quickly takes in her scent, and smiles when he realizes whom it is. "Hey Kagome, sorry about that."
The younger sister of Kikyo looks up, smiling
brightly at the inu hanyou.
"Oh hi Inu-Yasha!" she cheerfully starts.
"I'm sorry I bumped into you, I wasn't really watching where I was
going!" she begins to pick up her stuff and put it in her bag.
"It's okay, neither was I," the young hanyou
says while kneeling down to help her. He notices a notebook with the words
'Kagome and Inu-Yasha' in the center of a large heart
in the midst of all the scattered papers and books. He smirks bemusedly at it,
lifting it up so Kagome can see it. "I see you've got your priorities set
straight," he chuckles.
Kagome turns a deep shade of red upon seeing what he is talking about. She
snatches the notebook out of his hands and stuffs it deep in her yellow book
bag. "That...well...what that meant was...um..." she struggles for an
answer.
Inu-Yasha, ever the savior that he is, decides to
change the subject. "So, where are Sango and Miroku? I thought that you guys usually walk
together."
Kagome, thankful at the inu boy for the subject
change, smiles at him and replies, "Yeah, we do, but both of them are in
detention today."
"Detention? What for?"
The young girl begins to giggle. "Well...they were sorta
caught making out during gym earlier. The principal sure did blow a fuse when
she found them!" They both get a good laugh out of that. Kagome wipes a
stray tear out of her eye. "So what about you?
Don't you usually walk with that girl, Saeko,
now?" she finishes, a note of resentment on her voice.
Inu-Yasha shrugs lightly, but his eyes betray him and
look worried. "She didn't show up today, I have no idea why." Kagome
sees the look in his incredible gold eyes and turns her head to the side, a
strand of her flowing raven hair moving out of place as she does so. The inu hanyou reaches out and tucks
it behind her ear, careful not to scratch her with his sharp claws.
The young woman lowers her head to hide the blush that is reappearing.
"T...thank you," she stammers out.
"Well...I guess I'll see you later Inu-Yasha."
"Yeah, bye Kagome," he says with a wave. The hanyou
turns around and walks away, leaving a very love struck girl behind.
After a little while of free roaming, Inu-Yasha
realizes that he is near Saeko's house. "Good,
maybe I can find out why she wasn't at school today." Within a few
minutes, he reaches her house and walks up the steps to her front door. He
rings the doorbell and waits a little bit. His dog-ears catch the sounds of
light footsteps coming near. The door opens to reveal Saeko
still wearing her kitten pajamas. He is about to say 'Hi,' but then the scent
hits him so strong that he is nearly knocked over.
Saeko is in heat too, and it is amazingly powerful to
Inu-Yasha's senses. What he experienced earlier with
Professor Higurashi is nothing compared to what he is
feeling right now. Both hanyous stare at each other
in shock, their instincts instantly taking over their bodies as they begin to
get closer and closer to one another. The urge to mate for them has become
overwhelming. Inu-Yasha grabs the hanyou
girl's hips and pulls her close against him while she wraps her arms around his
neck, her fingers digging into his hair and pulling his face to hers. Their
lips are mere millimeters from touching when the hanyou
boy pulls back violently, using what little semblance of control he has.
"We...can't do this," he breathes.
"I know," she stammers out, "but I can't control myself. My body
is acting all on its own. Please...you have to leave now before we do something
drastic."
"O...okay." He is about to lean in for a
kiss, but decides that it would not be a good choice at the moment. "I'll
call you later koneko, I promise."
The neko girl manages a weak smile, her body
twitching here and there. "Alright. I'll be
waiting my cute little koinu savior."
Inu-Yasha gives her his patented cocky smirk before
turning tail and leaping away. "Why does today suck so much!?" he
yells out at nobody in particular.
______
Sometime later in a convenience store, the next
customer comes up to make his purchase, which consists of four bags of ice.
"Well now sonny," the old cashier begins, "what are you gonna do with all that ice you got
there?"
Inu-Yasha lifts the bags onto the counter so the old
man can scan them. "Take a cold bath."
