Chapter 12: Heal my wounds with your warmth

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

Jason Jordan

Kagome's P.O.V.

I opened my eyes slowly when the sunrise hits my eyes. I rubbed off the sleep off my eyes as I adjust my vision. I looked at the ceiling then to both of my sides then realized something.

This is not my room.

I sat up as I looked on my surroundings. What happened? How did I get in here?

Then images of Inuyasha popped in my head. Yeah that's right, I was looking for Inuyasha, I found him in a pub and took him back here. So that means……

My eyes widen in realization, I'm in Inuyasha's room!

But where's Inuyasha?

I got off from the bed and realized I'm still wearing the same clothes from yesterday though I'm not wearing my boots. He must have taken them off. I smiled a bit. I looked around the room and found a big lump covered with blankets on the sofa. I walked towards it then looked closely, I saw the face of Inuyasha, sleeping so soundly. I feel the warmth coming back to me again. Then I looked on the side table where I placed the medicine and sandwich that I made. He took it after all. Then beyond my control my smile widen that if Inuyasha woke up he could see my dimples. I stifled a giggle. I kissed his forehead, he stirred a bit but he didn't wake up. I sighed in relief. I stretched and let out a yawn. I fixed the bed then quietly left the room. Leaving the hanyou with his dreams. Little did I know that he smiled a bit after I left.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After I took a cold shower I decided to wear a long-sleeves, white blouse with floral patterns, over it is a black bodice that hugs my waist then a white skirt that reaches my feet and black sueded shoes. I left the room and walked to the hallways to where I'm supposed to go, I saw Shippou and Rin heading towards my way. When they saw me they smiled and walked towards me.

"Hey Kagome-chan, where are you going?", Shippou asked as Rin greeted me with a smile, I smiled back at her.

"Well I'm going to borrow a bow and some arrows so I could do archery outside.", I replied. Shippou beamed a smile.

"Cool! Can we watch you?", asked Shippou while Rin is looking at me with a pleading look. I laughed at how cute they look that way.

"Sure, you guys can watch me just wait for me on the training grounds while I get the equipment", I replied as they nodded with agreement.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

"Hey dog-breath! Wake up! It's already noon and you're still asleep! You should be up by now!"

I woke up to that annoying voice as Kouga kept on shaking my shoulders. I moved so I'm lying on my back then I slapped Kouga's arm away as I rubbed the sleep off my eyes. When my vision became clear, I could see the annoyed and curious look on Kouga's face. I sat up as I rubbed my head then I looked up again on Kouga's face. I quirked a brow.

"What?", I hissed and I saw him smirked. I glared at him. He walked to my bed and sat on it. Crossing his arms.

"I should be the one asking that, why are you up so late and where have you been last night?", I groaned. I pulled away the covers from me then looked around my room. Where's Kagome? Oh wait, it's already noon so obviously she woke up before me. Then my eyes landed on my annoying cousin again. Can't he just leave?

"Leave me alone, it's none of your business", I said and earned myself I glare. Like I care anyway, I just need to take a good shower right now. I touched my head. I'm surprise that I didn't get a hangover at all. Whatever Kagome gave me, really worked.

"Cheh! Like I really care what happened to you anyway, I came here because Aunt Izayoi said so and she was worried sick about you from last night too. She told me to tell you that when you finally wakes up, go to her room."

I muttered a 'yeah' then Kouga left the room. Finally! The last thing I want to see when I woke up was the face of that mangy-wolf. I walked to the bathroom then undressed myself and walked in the shower room. Feeling the cold water rushing to my body.

Why didn't Kagome wake me up? Did she want me to stay asleep for the whole day or something? Was this her way of saying that she doesn't want to have an encounter with me even for a day? Nah, she isn't like that. Kagome isn't that mean. Sure she's annoying but she's never evil, I don't think I can picture her to be someone sadistic and sinister. That would be Kouga and Sesshomaru. I wonder where she is right now. What is she doing right now? She doesn't have lectures anymore, right? It ended last month.

God, she's been with us for a month now and things are slowly changing now. I wonder if she has noticed it too.

After my shower, I dried up myself up on and put on my red tunic and black pants also black ankle boots then placed my Tetsusaiga on my waist. I left my room then walked on the hallways to see my mother. I wonder what she wants from me, maybe she will scold me for disappearing all of a sudden, Keh! Can't she just forget about it? I'm here already.

As I approached the door that leads to the room of my mother, who seems to be worried to death right now or could be so pissed off at me right now, I think prefer the former idea, I knocked the door 3 times.

"Mom, it's me, Inuyasha", I said

"Come in", she called out from the other side of the door. I turned on the knob then opened it, revealing the violet decorations all over my mom's room. I saw my mom on her balcony, sitting on the chair with a cup of tea on her hand. She always drinks tea, most queens do. What's with queens and tea?

I shook my head on the silly thought and approached to the table and sat across her from the table. She placed down her tea cup and look at me with a stern look.

Oh oh…..I'm in deep shit right now.

"Inuyasha Gomez Taisho, explain yourself"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Wow! You're awesome Kagome!", Shippou exclaimed when he saw Kagome striking a perfect aim on the bulls eye. Rin clapped with joy. Kagome put down the bow and rested on the grass. Shippou and Rin can tell that she's dead beat for taking straight aims 50 times so they want back inside to get a face towel and water.

Kagome didn't notice them leaving for she's too tired to feel anything besides the pain on her hands. She slowly raised her hands above her face, she cringed when she saw many cuts on her hands.

Someone's gonna feed me lunch later….

She thought amusingly then dropped her hands on the ground, panting wearily. She looked up at the sky, noticing the clouds moving at a fast pace, she closed her eyes feeling the strong wind rushing on her, she felt something on her nose so she opened her eyes and noticed a dried leaf.

Fall is gonna be over soon…hmmm….maybe I should –

Kagome's P.O.V.

My vision was blocked when a face towel fell on my face. I took the face towel off my face then slowly sat up. I saw a pair of black pants in front of me then I slowly looked up and saw the scowl face of the man who holds those intense golden eyes.

He growls

I blinked

What is he doing here? And why is he angry at me? What did I do now? It seems like he's always angry at me for a lot of reasons lately.

I saw him sniffing the air then looked down at me again with that angry look on his face. Again what did I do? I didn't have the strength to ask cause who knows what he'll say or do if I'll speak up. He knelt down so the two of us are on eye level. He gently took his hands though I flinched a bit because of the sting, he looked at my cuts and he growled again.

"Ahou", he said. I glared at him.

"I beg your pardon?", I asked. He ignored me as he continued looking at my hands.

"What did you do to your hands?", he hissed as he looked at me with a stern look. I didn't care right now, I just glared back at him. Not saying anything. We just stayed silent for a few moments. I heard footsteps coming near, I turned to my left and saw Shippou and Rin with a face towel and a bottle of water. I sighed in relief when I saw the bottle of water. I am really thirsty right now.

"Hey Kagome we brought you a face towel and water, here", said Rin as she gave the face towel and bottled water to me. I smiled in thanks as I gently took the bottled water and was about to twist the cap open but hands sting again. I groaned at the pain. Then suddenly Inuyasha took the bottle from my hand twist the cap open. I looked at him, surprise that he did that. I noticed that Shippou and Rin looked at him, dumbfounded at what just happened.

"You two, bring a first aid kit here right now", he commanded. The two just nodded at fear for the sound of his voice then ran away, getting the first aid kit. I glared at him.

"You don't need to be so harsh on the kids, Inuyasha", I scolded him.

"Keh!", was all he said then he gave me the bottled water. I took it from him and slowly drank the water, emptying the contents from the bottle. I sighed in content when I finished it.

"What happened to your hands, Kagome?", he asked softly this time yet with a firm voice. His eyes seems to show some concern. I softened from that look and gave him a small smile.

"I was doing archery", I said meekly. He sighed exasperatingly, giving me an annoyed look.

"Again? How many times cause your hands has a lot of cuts", I gulped.

"About f-fifty times", I said nervously as I gave him a sheepish look. He growled at me.

"You're such an idiot. What were you thinking? Were you even thinking at all! God woman, you're such a reck!", he ranted on. I glared at him then turned my back on him, crossing my arms.

"Oh so you're mad at me now? It's your fault anyway", he said. What a jerk! First he was nice, now this? Impossible bastard!

"How is it my fault? I didn't do anything!", I retorted back

"Didn't do anything? Are you blind! Look at your hands! There are cuts all over and because you did 50 aims, what for? You're a reck! You're so careless!"

"Oh I'm reckless? Who's the one who sneaked out of the castle last night just to drink some cheap beer in a pub? Huh? Care to explain, dear fiancé?"

"So you're calling me YOUR FIANCE when you're pissed at me? Huh? Well I never asked for my dear fiancée's help now, did I? No, I didn't! I don't need your help, you wench!"

"You're impossible, despicable, infuriating, annoying and down right cruel! I don't know why I'm engaged with you! I think I'm cursed for meeting you and even worse, engaged to you! Ugh!"

With that said, I stood up and left. Passing by Shippou and Rin as I headed inside the castle then to my room. I locked the door and lied down on the bed.

That baka. How could he say those cruel words to me? Why is he always so cruel to me? What have I done?

I felt a tear slide down on my cheek. I wiped it away swiftly. I cringed when I felt the pain on my hands again.

Never will I cry for him, never! He could just rot in hell for all I care. I never cared for him anyway.

I heard a sound on the glass door where the balcony is at. I ignored the sound but then minutes later it came back but the sound got much louder. I blinked. I got off my bed then slowly and skeptically walked to the glass door where it leads to the balcony. It just keeps on tapping the door. I opened the door and saw no one on the balcony. I walked to the balcony then I stiffened when something or rather someone dropped down to the ground, behind me. I turned to see that it's none other than that impossible man.

"What do you want? Haven't you had enough for today already?", I said angrily. Behind him, he showed me the first aid kit on his hand in front of me. I was shock then looked at him with a puzzled look.

"Let me fix those hands of yours before it gets infected", was all he said as he placed his arm on my shoulders and lead me inside my room. What the heck is this all of a sudden? My mind wanders to find a reason but it leads me to a blank. He is unpredictable sometimes. I stayed quiet as he led me to my bed and sat me down. He sat down beside me then he opened the first aid kit, getting the alcohol, betadine, cottons and a roll of bandages.

I flinched and bit my lip when he dabbed the alcohol with a cotton on my hands. He blew on my hands and I felt a slight chill. Then he dabbed the betadine and after that he covered my hands with bandage, his hands still holding mine. I looked at him but he didn't notice my curious stare for he is looking on my hands. He rubbed them gently and I felt the warmth again. My heart is beating on a fast rate. Whenever he does this, I feel my heart pacing up fast like its living, like its really alive…..

"Thank you…….", I said softly. He just stayed quiet, still rubbing my hands.

"Inuyasha?"

He looked outside the window. I also looked at it too, wondering what is he looking at.

"Fall is almost over….", he whispered. I just nodded. Afraid to speak because of the intensity around the room. God only he can create this much tension.

"My father once told me that Fall is just the beginning to an even colder world…", he said as he continued on rubbing my hands.

"He said that even if you have shelter and blankets around you, its hard to get that warmth inside of you…:

"Why is that?", I asked curiously

"He was traveling in the snow for a month when he was younger. Until he arrived back home, he was still cold. But when mother slightly touched his arm, he feels the warmth inside him. Radiating inside his body, like the cold has never been in him for a month."

"Huh? But how?", I was confuse. What is he trying to say?

He looked up to me with a warm look that I felt myself radiating with heat. He slightly touched my cheek with fingers and slowly stroked it with his thumb as he cupped my cheek. I leaned in to his touch.

"Because his body wasn't the only thing that was warm", he said. I just smiled at him. Showing him that I finally understood what he meant.

"Do you feel warm now?", he asked. I giggled a bit. I hugged him, I felt him stiffened from shock. I laughed a bit.

"Thank you", I whispered. He slowly placed his arms around me. He buried his head on my nape, feeling his breath tickling my neck.

"This is kinda funny though. First we argued now we are hugging each other. Such irony", I commented. He chuckled and I could feel my body vibrating as he did that.

"Things just come unexpectedly but things aren't always that bad, are they?"

I shook my head. "No, they aren't…..hey could we do something today?"

He pulled back, looking at my face with a curious look.

"What do you have in mind?", he asked

"I was thinking of having a picnic with Shippou and Rin today. After all, Fall is almost over and winter will be nearing soon. It will be fun", I said.

"But what about your hands?", I looked down on my bandaged hands. I clenched them and unclenched them a bit.

"Well I think I can manage and if I can't use them well, you'll just gonna have to feed me", I said slyly. He smirked.

"Fine woman, I'll go tell the maid to prepare and I'll tell Shippou and Rin about it. You'll just stay here", he said then he stood up and he was about to leave when I called out to him.

"Hey Inuyasha", he turned his head to me with a questioning look

"Hmmmm?", I smiled

"Can we bring Kouga?"

"NO!", he yelled then left as he slammed the door shut. I grinned.
