Chapter 9: I'm not the one who's waiting

"Love is fire. But whether it's gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell."

Jason Jordan

"Aaaaahhh….the food was good! I'm so full, can't take another bite!", said Shippou, sitting down in the State Room (A/N: Like a living room for guests) with Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Izayoi and Rin.

They just ate dinner and waiting to leave the castle but it would take them awhile because it's been raining hard.

"I wish it would stop raining, I wanna leave this place already!", Inuyasha exclaimed as he looked out the window. The trees are being blown hard by the strong wind and it looks like it's raining cats and dogs.

"We all want to leave. Staying in this castle more than an hour is more than enough to annoy me", said Sesshomaru, sitting down and crossing his arms with his eyes close and Rin sitting beside him.

Rin sighed.

"Yes, I want to go see Sesshomaru's castle again.", said Rin, looking down on the ground. When Shippou heard this he looked at Rin with a questioning look.

"Eh? You're coming with us, Rin?", the kitsune asked. Rin nodded.

"That's right, I asked my parents and their fine with and Aunt. Izyaoi doesn't mind too. I'm so glad", she answered with a big smile on her face.

"And I haven't seen sir Jaken for a long time now, when I was way younger he would always come with me wherever I go, watching me everytime,hehehe!"

"And when you will arrive back in the castle I will tell Jaken to watch over you again. No excuses", Sesshomaru instructed with a strict voice that Rin wouldn't dare to protest, she knows how awful Sesshomaru's temper is.

"Hmmm….but then who will continue with Kagome's studies?", Izayoi asked as she drinks her tea. Inuyasha's ears perked up when he heard the name of Kagome.

Kagome……..I wonder what she's doing right now……

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The maids, servants, stable boys and the guards laughed as they watched Kouga doing ballet with his pink toga and ballet shoes. It was Kagome's idea to invite them in the dining room for dinner and after that, Kouga would do ballet. Kouga has a scowl on his face, feeling anger but most of all embarrassment.

"Damn it! I can't believe I'm doing this! Kagome! Can I stop now!", he yelled while doing his ballet. Kagome held her stomach, trying to control herself from laughing so hard.

"Heeeheee! Just one more hour, Kouga and it will be over. Just endure it right now,hehehehe! Ahahahahahhahahaahahah!"

"Goddammit! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

She must be having a great time with that bastard, Kouga! That stupid mangy-wolf, getting all friendly with her,ggggrrr!

"Please leave….."

Sigh.

Kikyo…..You were right though. I did love you but I realized that it was only infatuation. You were the only whom I was very close with besides my mother. You were always there whenever I'm in trouble, in a special event and a whole lot more. I valued our friendship and I hope…….that we still can be friends. But in the state you're in right now, I don't think you have the heart to accept me back. I'll just have to wait.

The thunder roared, clashing with the lightning.

I want to go back home. I just wanna go to sleep on my comfortable bed in my room. Stupid rain! Because of it we might arrive home at midnight!

"Well I think I'll be the one to teach her then", replied Sesshomaru to Izayoi's question. She nodded.

"Very well then but I know that you're very busy too with work and I have a feeling you want to read more of the peace treaty", said Izayoi. Sesshomaru smirked.

"Yes that's true, well Inuyasha could teach her also too when I don't have the time", Inuyasha turned to look at his brother.

"Say what?", he asked. Sesshomaru looked at him.

"Whenever I'm busy you will take over and give her lecture, you should know very well of our laws and history since you are the future King", Sesshomaru explained. Inuyasha groaned.

"Keh! I don't understand on why am I king first than Sesshomaru. He's the oldest", Inuyasha replied with a scowl on his face.

"It's because Sesshomaru already passed the legal age of being the King. He can only be the King if there is no more young heir left. Unless he wants to marry a princess and be king of another country", Izayoi explained,

"Hn. I have no interest on getting married. My obligation is to deal with the Kingdom's economy and military power, just like father did", said Sesshomaru. Izayoi and Rin giggled.

"Keh!"

Shippou looks confuse.

"So he's going to be a King, alone?", Shippou asked. Izyaoi shook her head.

"No Shippou, Inuyasha is engage", she answered. Shippou's eyes widen with utter surprise.

"ENGAGED?", Inuyasha whacked him on the head.

"Shut up you idiot! You want the whole world to hear!", Inuyasha exclaimed. It would be very bad if Kikyo knows I'm engaged right now.

He cringed at the thought of what would happen.

"Sorry….but how? When did this happen?"

"It happened 3 weeks ago in a grand birthday ball", Izayoi answered

We've been engaged for 3 weeks already? Man, time sure flies so fast and we haven't really gotten to know each other so much, keh! Like I care! I never wanted this engagement to happen!

A servant came inside the room and announced that they are ready to leave right now. They walked out the room and went outside the grand entrance where the carriages awaits them with their luggage inside.

"Yes! I'm finally going home!", Inuyasha exclaimed then Kagome's face popped in his mind.

Kagome…….

Someone watched them from above, Kikyo.

"Inuyasha….one day we will meet again and when that time comes, you will say ' I do ' ", she said. Letting a single tear slide off from her eye.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kagome yawned as she finished reading the last pages of the novel she's reading on her bed. She stood up from her bed then stretched. Wearing only a white laced night gown, she grabs her robe and left the room. It has been 3 hours from dinner and its nearing midnight.

Her stomach growled. She sighed.

"Guess I'm hungry then might as well make a midnight sack.", she said to herself and head off to the kitchen.

Once she got there she went to the cabinets and got a meat of ham, some spices and bread. While preparing herself a snack a shadow sneakily nears itself to hear, looming over her.

"Kagome"

"Aaaaahhhh!", Kagome screamed then she grabbed a knife but a hand caught her wrist.

"Easy Kagome, it's me Inuyasha", he whispered huskily in her ear which sent shivers in her spine, her heart was throbbing, she tried to control herself, afraid that Inuyasha would feel her strong heart beat. She let herself relax then let go of the knife though Inuyasha didn't let go of her wrist yet.

"Geez Inuyasha! You scared me to death!", she hissed. He just smirked.

"You never learn, do you?", she said then she freed herself from his grasp then continued making her sandwich, Inuyasha watches her with a curious look.

"What are you making?", he asked as he looked over on her right shoulder.

"Making a ham sandwich, want me to make you one?"

"Yeah sure, I'm a bit hungry anyway", she nodded and made another sandwich for Inuyasha.

"So you guys are back, where are the others?", she asked still making the sandwich. Inuyasha leaned down on the table with his arms cross, watching her.

"Yeah we're back, the others went straight to their rooms. They're tired from the meeting", she quirked an eyebrow.

"And you're not?", she asked.

"Keh! Not really, I'm just glad to be home though that meeting was stressful. I just wanna leave that place", he replied as he rubbed his temples. Kagome gave him his sandwich.

"Thanks, so what have you been doing here while we were gone?", he asked as he munched on his sandwich. Then he noticed a grin on her face.

"Uuuhhh….Did something happen, she nodded.

"I played chess with Kouga", she said, he quirked a brow

"And you're so happy cause you played chess with Kouga, great……….", he said sarcastically

"No no no, I mean, yes I played chess AND made a bet with him"

"Oh, so I'm guessing that you won", she nodded vigorously

"What's the bet?", he asked, taking another bite on the sandwich.

"That Koga would wear a pink toga and ballet shoes", once he heard that he almost choked on his food.

"WHAT! Man! I can't believe I missed that! Damnit! Unfair!", he exclaimed, cursing here and there. She giggled.

"Yeah, it was so much fun! At dinner I invited the servants and guards to eat dinner with us and after that we made Kouga do ballet with his pink toga on the table for 2 hours,ahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahha!"

Inuyasha laughed so hard that he held his sides.

"Damn! I wish I didn't leave, I would have loved to see that but I can still tease him about it tomorrow", he said as he chuckled.

"Yeah…….we wore bored and he came up with the idea of doing chess and putting a wager on it. I'm glad that we had something to do while waiting.",

Inuyasha stared at her with a curious look on his face. Kagome quirked an eyebrow.

"Why are you looking at me like that?", she asked

"You were waiting?"

That caught Kagome off guard. She didn't really wait for them that long but she was really hoping that they would come back soon.

"Uh..well…I mean..not really…I mean, yeah I did wait….uhh…I-I", she continued stammering as she look at the ground then she noticed a pair of shoes in front of her. She looked up and noticed how near Inuyasha is. As she looked into his intense golden eyes, she didn't have the strength to step back.

"There's no need for you to wait anymore…..",he said huskily as he placed a strand of her hair behind her ear. She sighed as she rested her head on his chest. Inuyasha's heart started to pound hard and fast. He feels the warmth inside when she touches him. He was confuse on what to do since Kagome is just standing there with her head on his chest. He was about to place his arms around her when Kagome spoke.

"I don't know what is up with you. I may have been waiting but…", she look up, facing him with amusement in her eyes.

"It doesn't mean I was waiting for you"

Inuyasha thought he felt something sting inside him but he put the thought aside as he concentrated on the girl in front of him. He sighed then composed himself, looking at her with a mocking grin. He pushed her lightly away from him on the shoulders.

"Keh! Silly girl, I didn't say you were waiting for me.", he said then letting her go. Then he walked passed her and stop at her side, facing the door and not her.

"Plus….I'm not the one whose waiting…."

Kagome's eyes widen then she closed her eyes, sighing.

"Aa", was all she said

"Goodnight Kagome", he said then walked away towards his room.

Once she can't hear his footsteps anymore. She opened her eyes with a sad smile.

I almost…lost myself in his eyes.

She clutched her chest, trying to ease the bit of pain in her heart somehow.

She looked outside the window, the rain has stopped.

The rain has finally stopped

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well? Watcha guys think? Nice chemistry with Kagome and Inuyasha lately?
