Chapter Ten
Note: I am updating. Ya I wanted to change some small tidbits in the first nine chapters before I posted this one. This chapter has been done for awhile. No the first nine chapters have a little more stuff in them, better grammar and doesn't switch from past tense to present tense. (Sorry, I feel more comfortable writing in past tense.) Now is it a good thing that people didn't except this from the first chapter or a bad thing? confused . Oh for the next couple of chapters you won't have sex, but Inuyasha will…
I wake up to the twittering of birds in the trees. My brain tells me to get up, but my body won't budge. It is very relaxing and comfortable where I am. It feels perfect with the sun dancing on my smooth body, the wind blowing my hair so it tickles my neck and the light chirping of the birds.
I notice that my head is moving up and down, but I'm not doing anything. I open one blurry eye. For a couple of seconds I have no idea where I am. Soon the enticing smell of gardenia that smelt so familiar. Without knowing I mutter instinctually, "Inuyasha…"
As I lie there I remember the conversation Inuyasha and I had. When I had woken up after our first time I asked Inuyasha, "Why do you smell like gardenia?" At first he was reluctant to tell me, but eventually he softened up.
"When my mom was younger she was betrothed to a man that would make trade in China. Every time he would go there he would bring back a new flower from China. One day when he returned he came back with Gardenia. My mom loved that flower that he went back to go get her some more, but something terrible happened to her fiancé.
"A traveling group of robbers were on the same path as her betrothed and slaughtered him to run away from the town's people chasing after him. My mom was so heartbroken that she always kept the dried up flowers next to her heart. When she met my dad, he would go to the bordering lands to retrieve her some gardenias so she would smile. She always had the scent of gardenias on her. Of course when my dad died she kept his flower next to heart as well. I don't remember my mom that much, I was very little and she died over one hundred years ago. But me being a dog demon the smell of that flower always reminds me of her. So every so often I'll go to China and get three flowers, but all mine died last night."
I never in mind thought Inuyasha could be so sentimental. Usaully he's so tough and never lets out any emotion, but this was whole different side of Inuyasha; a side that only I was aloud to see that day. When he told me all this I felt like I loved him even more.
I shortly realize that I am still in the tree on top of Inuyasha stomach. I rest my head down on his belly, smiling, twirling his long hair with my fingers. I look up at his face and try to disguise a laugh as I see Inuyasha with bed hair (or sex hair as we call it in band).
His face looks so relax, so peaceful. I like to watch him while he's sleeping. It's the only time he looks so innocent and undisturbed by the world. I know he has had a hard life and that's why he puts on his hard core exterior, but when he's sleeping he doesn't look mad at all. He just looks like another person. Now that I think about, he doesn't look like another person. He looks like a strong demon who will love me forever and part of him looks almost angelic.
I scoot up closer to him and kiss his brow. His arms wrap around me and he pulls me closer in. "I thought you were asleep. Did I wake you?"
He shook his head. "I've been up for awhile."
"How long have you been up?"
"Since sunset." A horrible realization strikes into my head.
"Sunset happened already!" He's right. I look around to see the sun up pass the trees. I gasp. I quickly put on my clothes and tuck my glasses away. Why did it take me this long to realize this? I'm in deep shit.
"What's the problem?"
"The gang has been awake for hours!" I yell, trying to get my top on only just noticing that it is on backwards. "When they discover we're not there they'll know what happened!"
"Keh, big deal." He says as he lies back on the tree. "It's not like they don't know.
"Yes I know," I say, getting my bottoms up over my hips. "But I'd rather keep our business together private!"
"Heh, I still don't see the problem, but if it means so much to you I'll get dressed. Go on without me." I jump out of the tree and run towards the village.
I had almost reached Kaede's hut when Kagome gets in front of me. (This is where my luck ends…) I skid to a halt. "…Good…..morning…..Kagome…." I say between breaths.
"Good morning," she replies, but she does not look at me. What's up with her? I bend over to look under her bangs. I see her face all scrunch up and a pained look. Is she crying? Her eyebrows quickly furrow and she raises her right hand.
Before I can realize it she smacks me and I fall to the ground. The fall feels like forever and I stare at Kagome's face. Her face is twisted and she gives me the most hateful glare I have ever seen in my life. This is not like Kagome. Kagome is kind no matter what. What has happened to her?
Sango, Miroku and Kaede come out of the hut to stare at us. I rub my jaw bone and I spit at the ground. Blood, she made me cough up blood. "What's going on?" asks Kaede. "What has happened?"
"Lady Mimi, are you all right?"
"Yeah," I say. "I'm fine."
"But you're left cheek is all red and you're coughing up blood…"
"I'M FINE!" I bark, a little more aggressively than what I meant to. I glare at Kagome and she glares back. "What's the matter with you! What have I done!" She says nothing. She takes off her heavy yellow back pack and rummages through it. She pulls out my torn underwear. I gasp. How could I not notice that I'm not wearing any underwear? I guess I was in such a hurry to get dressed that I didn't realize I was missing it. "Okay," I bow down apologetically. "I deserved to have been slapped. I have an exp…"
Wham! Kagome forcefully slaps me again and I fall to the ground. I get up and wipe my mouth. "Okay. I might have deserved that one, but…"
Smack!
"OKAY, THIS IS GETTING OLD!" I yell. (No way in hell would I let some one smack me three times in a row, girr…) "I KNOW I DESERVE THE FIRST ONE AND I MIGHT HAVE DESERVED THE SECOND ONE! BUT I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE SLAPPED THREE TIMES WITHOUT GIVING AN EXPLAINATION!"
"YOU BITCH, WHAT'S THERE TO EXPLAIN!" Kagome yells back at me. It seems that Kagome has fallen off the deep end. "I KNOW YOU SLEPT WITH HIM! I SAW YOU IN THE TREE! WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD YOU HAVE!" I fall silent. She is quite right. There is nothing to explain. I just did it and had no second thought. Inuyasha comes running towards us. "YOU," she shouts. He stops right in front of her and she smacks him too.
"What the!" he rubs his face. "Ow, what was that for!"
"HOW MANY WOMAN IN YOUR HEART ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN ME!" Inuyasha looks confused. He stares at me and asks me silently "What's going on?"
"HOW CAN YOU SLEEP WITH THIS WHORE!" my eyebrows twitch. I personally think that is going too far. "I'M SICK OF THIS INUYASHA, WHY CAN YOU NEVER LOVE ME!" She tilts her head down and I see one tear drop fall to the ground. I feel a little jab at my heart. I long taunted Kagome in my mind, but now seeing the pain I put her through I feel really bad and responsible. (See I like Kagome, I just need her out of this fanfic. ) Her fists are shaking and she glares up at me.
"You," she says in a quivering voice. She points her finger at me. "Who the hell are you and where the hell did you come from?" I sigh. I guess this is the long explanation I need to give.
I reach into my blouse and put on my glasses. "My name is Michelle. I am from your time Kagome. I come from California and I came to Japan for a reward for doing well in school. One day I was walking by the Higurashi shrine when I saw you disappear through one. I thought you had fallen in so I came by to check to see if you were okay. Your cat pushed me in and I ended up here. I had no idea how to get home and I discovered you guys. I felt lonely so I followed you until you decided for me to join. I long desired for Inuyasha, but I never thought that I would get him. I'm sorry Kagome." I bow down and when I look up her face was, if possible, even colder.
"You," she says. "Leave. We have no use for you. We never have. We took you in because you had nobody. I tried being nice and this is how you repay me!" I am trying to hold back tears while Kagome is throwing insults at me. "You shouldn't be here! There is no purpose for you being here!" I have had enough.
"Same with you!" I retaliate. "Why do they need you when Kikyo could find the Shikon jewel better than you ever could!" I hit a nerve.
"GO BACK TO YOUR OWN TIME WHERE YOU BELONG!" I have had it. I run away. I run as far away as I can from Kagome. I reach the bone eaters well. I am ready to jump in when some one holds me back. I turn around to see Inuyasha.
"You're not going anywhere!" he commands. "You're staying!" Behind him Kagome has caught up. She turns her head away from me.
"I see Inuyasha has made up his mind." I can hear her at the verge of tears. She turns to look at me. She closes her eyes and tears stream down her face. "You better treat him right Mimi, you better make him happy or I'm going to get you…" She wipes the tears off her face and stares at me with a feeble smile. "I guess the shock of Sango and Miroku getting married and now Inuyasha leaving me makes me feel kind of lonely." I feel another jab of guilt at my heart. "Maybe you were right Mimi." I look at her directly in the eyes. "Maybe I am better off with Koga." She starts walking away.
"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha yells. "Where are you going!"
"I'm going to be with Koga and help him find the jewels."
"Aw come on Kagome, we need you!" She continues to walk away.
"Inuyasha, don't you want to go after her?" I ask in shock. "I mean besides Kikyo she's the only one who can feel the jewel."
"Let her go." He says. "She'll come back if she knows what's good for her…"
Wow I thought this chapter would have been shorter and I'd have to add more information. Guess not. Anyways next chapter I'm pretty sure there's going to be "guy on guy" contact so prepare yourself.
