Inuyasha and the Hidden Demon Within

Chapter 2

Inuyasha sighed and turned towards the door. It clattered as it closed.

Kagome looked up as the door closed, where had Inuyasha gone off to?

Sakura looked at Kagome and then at the door. "I'm sure Yasha will be okay. Don't underestimate him, Mimi." She said grinning.

Kagome looked back down at Sakura amazed, "Your right, Kura. I shouldn't worry. He'll be okay." She said, tucking Sakura in.

Sango and Miroku smiled down at Kagome and Sakura. "They do look cute together do they, Miroku?" She said. Miroku nodded, "Yes, Sango, they do."

Inuyasha walked toward his tree as the sun continued to lower itself behind the horizon. He came to his tree. Suddenly his thoughts went into action.

So she loves Sakura?

I guess so, dimwit.

So what should I do about it?

Tell her you love her. Tell her you want children. Her children.

WHAT! I CAN'T POSSIBLY!

Calm down, just breathe. It's easy, just wait until the right moment then, BAM, and tell her.

I...I'll try...But I'm not guarantying anything.

Well, at least you'll try.

Hmph! At least you aren't the one who has to deal with it all.

I will be. Tomorrow night is the new moon.

WHAT! Already! Damn! I wish it wasn't this soon!

Oh well, I get to tell her anyway!

Yeah, but she'll believe anything you say. She has my human side all figured out.

You'd better believe it.

Got to go, someone's coming.

Inuyasha looked down as Kagome walked toward his tree.

"Inuyasha? Can I talk to you for a moment?" She asked looked up into the tree.

Inuyasha sighed and jumped down. He landed in front of her, "What do you want now, wench?"

Kagome stopped herself from 'sitting' him, and smiled, "I just wanted to ask you a favor. I'm going to ask him now.

Kikyo: Be sure to include it all, Kagome.

Oh alright.

Inuyasha looked at her strangely, "Depends on the favor." He said.

Kagome breathed in deeply. "Inuyasha, tomorrow, I was wondering if you could be nice. All day." She said.

Inuyasha looked at her, Nice? All Day?

Human Inu: This is it!

What?

Human Inu: A chance to prove yourself to her.

Why? Why should I?

Human Inu: It would mean the world to her to see you act nice. Then you could tell her.

Tell her what?

Human Inu: You want her children.

You're crazy. I think someone knocked you off your rocker.

Human Inu: No, I'm just saying.

Fine! He thought, turning to Kagome. "I accept."

Kagome grinned, See, I told you.

Kikyo: Now he has to prove it.

I know...

Kagome grinned and then wrapped her arm around Inuyasha's. "Tomorrow it is then." She said letting go and walking back to the village.

Inuyasha turned around and let off a deep growl. I can't believe I'm doing this!

Human Inu: It's for a good cause, dimwit.

What if I can't do it?

Human Inu: Then I'll take over for a day. Deal?

Deal, Half-wit. He thought smiling as he followed Kagome back.

Kagome smiled as she walked back into the hut. She watched as Sango and Miroku were sleeping peacefully. Shippo was curled up beside Kagome's sleeping bag.

Inuyasha smiled and walked over to the wall. He sat down and stretched out on the wall. The night soon came and sleep over took him.

The morning soon came as Inuyasha awoke slowly. He sat up and looked around. No one was about as he stood up.

The sun was shining as the birds were twittering outside. Inuyasha walked outside, yawning slowly.

Kagome came walking up with a basket of laundry basket full of Kimonos. She didn't see Inuyasha as she walked right into him. Her basket flew from her hands as she fell on top of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha grunted as she fell on top of him. He turned to push her off and his lips met hers.

Kagome blushed as Inuyasha's lips met hers when he turned his head. She immediately pushed off Inuyasha. Kagome began to gather up the Kimonos. When she had all the Kimonos, she ran toward the hut, leaving Inuyasha alone.

Inuyasha's mind kicked in, Oh gods, she just kissed me!

Human Inuyasha: No, technically you kissed her.

But...I just turned my head. Only for a second then she kissed me!

Human Inuyasha: You kissed her! She loves you, you know.

I noticed. But even though she does I can't tell I love her back.

Human Inuyasha: Sometime you will, dimwit.

Oh hush. I'm trying to be nice like she said. Go away. He thought as he walked toward the forest.

Kagome was back in the hut and dropped the basket. She backed against the wall and began to think.

Oh no! He's going to kill me when I leave here!

Kikyo: No he won't. Remember that he has to be nice today, Kagome.

You're right, Kik. I think I'll be fine. Wow, his lips sure did feel good, oh and taste good.

Kikyo: Why do you think I did it all the time when I got a chance?

I get it now; he does love me, huh?

Yep, I guess so, Kag.

I think I'll go apologize.

Kagome thought as she began to hang up the Kimonos in the closet. After she finished she decided to go apologize. Kagome walked outside and ran into Miroku.

Miroku looked up at Kagome, "Hello, Lady Kagome. How are you? May I have some assistance from you?" He asked.

Kagome nodded, "Maybe, for what subject?"

Miroku brought Kagome closer, "Well, I kinda, you know, got with Sango. I asked her to bear my children and she accepted. So now it's been 3 weeks and she's been acting kinda funny now. Could you talk to her to see what's wrong?"

Kagome smiled, "I'd be glad to, Miroku. Anything for my older brother!" She said walking away.

Kagome walked until she arrived at another hut. She walked in, and smiled as she saw Sango sitting on the ground petting Kiara.

Sango smiled as she looked up at Kagome, "So, Miroku's been to you hasn't he?" She asked grinning.

Kagome nodded, "Yeah, he thought there was something wrong with you."

Sango grinned again, "Yeah, he's always worried about me."

Kagome laughed as Shippo came in grinning.

Shippo grinned up as Kagome, "Guess what? I just pushed Inuyasha into the river and he didn't hit me. It was amazing! Oh Sango?" He said turning towards her.

Sango smiled, "Yes, Shippo?"

Shippo grinned, "You smell different. Like sweeter." He said.

Kagome looked at Sango as she went wide-eyed. "Um, Kagome, can't demons tell if I am?"

Kagome nodded, "Yes indeed they can, Sango. But Shippo may not be the right kind. We can get Inuyasha to smell you, okay?"

Sango nodded, and then lay down as Kiara lay down with her.

Kagome walked out and smiled as she saw the sight before her.

Inuyasha was playing horse with Sakura. Sakura was giggling loudly as Inuyasha would walk around. Inuyasha smiled a small smile as Sakura yelled, "Faster! Weeeeeee!"

Kagome walked up and smiled, "Having fun?"

Inuyasha saw Kagome and dropped flat on the ground. "Sorry, she asked. I couldn't say no."

Kagome nodded, "Well, I think it's time for little Sakura to go take a nap. It's noon. Naptime! Sango's in the hut with Shippo and Kiara. Scoot!" She said pushing Sakura.

Sakura groaned and walked toward the hut. As soon as she was out of sight Kagome turned to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha saw her turn to him and his mind went into work.

What's she doing?

Human Inuyasha: I think she wants you to kiss her again.

Uh, why?

Human Inuyasha: To prove your love, dimwit.

Fine, oh shit! Here she comes!

Inuyasha stood rigid as Kagome came close.

Kagome came close to him and looked up into his golden orbs. "Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked down into Kagome's chocolate eyes. "Yes?"

Kagome sighed, "I'm sorry for earlier. I didn't mean to kiss you, it was an accident."

Inuyasha looked at her confused, "Sorry? Sorry? Why are you sorry? How can you be sorry? Kagome..."He said placing his hands on her shoulders.

Kagome gasped and looked deep into Inuyasha's eyes, "Inuyasha? Do you have something to tell me?"

Inuyasha looked back into Kagome's eyes, thinking. This is it! Just tell her! Go on! Say it!

Kagome looked deeply and calmly into Inuyasha's eyes.

Inuyasha sighed, "Kagome," He said pausing, "I- I love you."
