GANGS OF THE CITY
20. FORBIDDEN SECRET
(I'm back obviously or else there wouldn't be a knew chapter, but I'm going on vacation again for two weeks so I'm posting two chapters)
Miroku dashed down the stairs as fast as he could. It was the end of the week, and he had just gotten a call, from Inuyasha saying that they would be there in a five minutes.
"Miroku what the hell!" Sango yelled as Miroku nearly crashed into her.
"Sorry Sango it's just that Inuyasha and Kagome are back!"
Sango gave a little whoopee for joy, and jogged after Miroku.
Inuyasha pulled into the garage, and parked his bike. Kagome pulled up beside him and removed her helmet, placing it on her seat.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagomes duffel for her and swung it over his shoulder. While placing his other arm around her waist.
Miroku barged through the stair well doors, fallowed closely by Sango.
"KAGOME!" Sango yelled as she ran to her friend.
Kagome wrapped her arms around Sango happily.
Miroku turned to Inuyasha and spread his arms wide "INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha glared at Miroku "I would rather die"
"Fine then" Said Miroku and with arms still wide turned to Kagome.
A load growl rang through the parking lot, all three turned to gaze with question at Inuyasha.
"Don't" Inuyasha spat in a menacing voice.
Kagome made her way over to Inuyasha concern in her eyes, as she wrapped her arms around his stomach "Inuyasha he was just being friendly, come on"
Inuyasha softened a bit and smiled down at Kagome "Sorry" he whispered into her ear.
"Man Kagome I'm sure glad you guys are back me and Miroku have been so bored"
Kagome smiled at Sango "I'm glad I'm back to"
"Kagome what's that on your shoulder if you don't mind me asking"
Kagomes mind flashed back, as Inuyasha thrust into her his jaw clamped firmly down upon her skin. A light blush crept over her face, in truth she wasn't sure why he had bitten her, but she had liked it. He had been her first, 'and I want him to be my last' Kagomes eyes widened and she shook her head furiously ridding her mind of the previous thought.
"Ah Kagome you still haven't answered my question" Said Miroku.
"It's nothing" Inuyasha growled.
"It looks like Rins...... NOOOOOOOOO" Sangos moth drooped as she looked from Inuyasha to Kagome "Are you two m..........."
"Sango can I speak with you privately for a moment" Inuyasha grabbed Sango by the arm and lead her away.
"What are they talking about?" Miroku questioned.
Kagome shrugged "I'm not sure but Inuyasha has been acting strange since.... Never mind. He's just been acting strangely lately"
Kagome turned to Miroku "do you think it has something to do with me?"
Miroku nodded "probably"
"Thanks"
"You what?" Sango gasped.
Inuyasha nodded his gaze darting over to where Kagome and Miroku stood chatting happily.
"Inuyasha you have to tell her"
"You act as if I don't know that" said Inuyasha with a sigh.
"God dam it Inuyasha do it soon"
"Its not that simple ok" Inuyasha slid down the wall coming to a halt on the floor. His eyes still on Kagome. He loved her so much it hurt, and the fact that she was still not fully his hurt. Yet he had brought the pain upon himself.
"How did you even let something like this happen?" Sango asked.
"I couldn't help it my mind just kinda stopped working, and before I knew it I had marked her" Inuyasha sighed "I'm not sure if I can tell her"
Sango knelt down next to Inuyasha "Inuyasha you can't keep this a secret from her, not only dose she deserve the chance to know and give her consent, but also she deserves in general to know how you feel about her"
'I love her' Inuyasha thought 'but I can't take rejection.... Again'
Sango sighed "do you want me to tell her?"
Inuyasha shook his head "No you've done enough by just listing, this is my problem not yours"
Sango nodded "But if you need help you know who to call"
"Thanks" Said Inuyasha as he made his way back over to the group.
Sango watched as Inuyasha left her thoughts wandering back to the conversation. 'My god Kagome, you've brought the strongest man I know, falling head over heels for you..... You've managed to open him up to the world.... and for that I thank you'
Kagome treaded down the hallway softly, all that could be heard at that late hour was the soft brushing of her silk pajama pants.
"Oh... hello Kagome" Ayme looked up from her desk.
"Hey Ayme working late?" asked Kagome.
Ayme smiled "Yeah just organizing Shippous information, on gang members into a file"
Kagome nodded "hey do you know if Inuyashas in his office still?"
"When is he not in his office, the man dose not know the meaning of sleep"
Kagome laughed "Thanks Ayme"
Inuyasha looked up and smiled, as Kagome poked her head through the doors. He felt his heart skip a beat, and silently cursed him self.
"Hey" Kagome spoke softly.
"Shouldn't you be in bed?" Inuyasha inquired.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha "What are you my mother?"
Inuyasha shrugged and turned his attention back to his work.
Kagome sighed "look Inuyasha, I came here to talk to you, because you've been acting kinda strange lately" and by lately she meant since that night they had shared together.
Inuyasha paused desperately trying to think of something to say; but was saved when Kagome continued.
"You've been really protective over me lately, which I don't mind, but before you wouldn't care if you saw me talking to a guy. Now every time some one compliments me, or even tries to hug me in a friendly way, you go nuts. And lately I've noticed that you seem to be avoiding certain topics of conversation, and you never look me in the eye anymore, and I was just wondering if it has something to do with me and that night" Kagome exhaled, as though shedding a great burden.
Inuyasha sighed and leaned back in his chair.
Kagome approached the front of his desk, resting a hand on the dark wood "Inuyasha what happened that night?"
"I.." Inuyasha began, but stopped as a knock came at the door "Come in" he growled.
Ayme opened the door, her jaw was set, slight fear upon her face "Inuyasha the Inequities have challenged us to a shooting"
Kagome gasped then turned to look at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha took some time to think before answering "Tell them we accept and bargain for the terms"
Ayme nodded; then left.
"I'm sorry Kagome" Inuyasha said "can we talk about this later?"
Kagome smiled and gave a small nod "Of course, I didn't just come here to talk you know"
"Oh... then why else are you here for?"
Kagome gave a girlish grin "Well it's been a long time since I've slept in a bed by my self and I felt kinda lonely"
Inuyasha smiled and pushed his chair out from his desk motioning to his lap.
Kagome jogged around Inuyashas desk and fell into his lap with a content sigh. Smiling she rested her head against his chest, and let her eyes drift close.
Inuyasha smiled 'she seems to enjoy being with me' he thought hopefully 'the great Inuyasha falls in love for a second time' but last time had been different, he had been desperate, for some one to love him and hold him he didn't want to be alone. And now after tasting what it was like no to be, he feared the loneliness even more; but could she ever love him enough to even consider spending forever with him, and only him?
He could tell by the way she looked at him that she cared for him dearly. You'd have to be incredibly thick not to see at least that much. But there is a large gap between caring for someone and loving some one till death do us part, and for a demon that was a lot longer.
She had told him she was picky when it came to choosing men, and he Inuyasha had been her first. She had chosen him to take her virginity away; and he had loved every minute of it; but he wanted more. He wanted to know that she was his, and that another man could never have what he had, the very though of someone other then him touching her soft skin made his blood boil.
Inuyasha sighed; if she did reject him then at least he had gotten the first taste of heaven, right? And if she didn't reject him, if she where to say yes and become his.... He would spend the rest of his life protecting her, loving her, supporting her and doing all he could to keep her in love with him. Demons love forever.
Inuyasha knew that either way she would always be his first or last, he didn't have the capacity to love again, his heart had taken far too much, he'd already taken all that he could take. His heart was now in Kagomes hands, and he prayed that she would never let it fall.
Kagome listened to the soft thump of Inuyashas heart, as it beat gently against her ear.... god did she ever love this man that held her so close to him. She couldn't help it. You can't stop the unpreventable. She wanted to be able to lie within his arms forever, they were her safe house her guard, her get away... her escape from the world. She wanted to tell him but was afraid to do so, he had experienced heart brake once before and she feared that because of this he might tell her that he felt the same way out of pity. 'no Inuyasha would never do that.... would he? She didn't know..... She just didn't know.
Inuyasha felt Kagomes muscles tense, and saw her brow furrow. He tightened his grip around her body, in an attempt to ease away what ever it was that had disturbed her.
Kagome let out a soft moan and snuggled into Inuyasha. "Are you still awake?"
Inuyasha chuckled "do I ever sleep?"
Kagome smiled "I don't know I'm pritty sure I can think of some occasions"
Kagome closed her eyes, and tried to think of a song, that she knew the words to... after awhile she began to sing softly to Inuyasha.
Roomies, a southern girl With her Levis on and an open horde
Wish I could save the world Like I was super girl
Roomie use to laugh all night Lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately I've been jaded Life got so complicated
Cause as I'm thinking about it I almost forgot what it was like To know love feels right....
With you I can let my hair down I can say anything, crazy I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a t-shirt on I've never felt so beautiful Baby as I do now Now that I'm with you
With you with you with you
You speak and it's like a song And just like that all my walls come down It's like a private joke Just meant for us to know
I relate to it externally Everybody else just fades away Some times it's hard to breath Just now that you've found me
Cause as I'm thinking about it I almost forgot what it was like To know love feels right....
With you I can let my hair down I can say anything crazy I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a t-shirt on I've never felt so beautiful Baby as I do now Now that I'm with you
With you with you with you
Come and take me Let you save me Like no body else Now I can be myself
With you I can let my hair down I can say anything crazy I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a t-shirt on I've never felt so beautiful Baby as I do now Now that I'm with you
Kagome sighed as the song came to an end. She hadn't sung it in so long; the last time had been at a talent show with her friends but right then when she had sung it, it had just been a song, yet listing to the words Kagome felt that every word was true. Its amazing who much love songs change once you've actually have experienced love.
Inuyasha smiled, as she sang, he had been lost within her voice; but as the words had washed over him he felt himself wondering if perhaps what she sang was true.
"I haven't sung that song in a long time"
"You did it justice"
Kagome laughed "well I'm no Jessica Simpson but I do my best"
Inuyasha shook his head "I don't really listen to her so I wouldn't know"
Kagome laughed.
"Sing another song"
"Ok" Kagome thought around for a short song.
I never thought I could find some one As perfect as you, as perfect as you Believe me when I say I've tried a number But none of them ever, ever came through
When I'm close to you... I find my strength Close to you... I'm unafraid
You give me strength when I am week You helped me through my darken days And with you by my side I feel the strength to take on all that come my way.
You gave me shoulder to cry upon A voice to speak my mind And a friend to lift me high, high....
And to you I give my hand, my heart, and my word that I'll never leave. For the love we share, creates a bond that will never break. Cause all I need in this world to survive Is you my love Till the end of time.
Kagome yawned as she finished the song "good night Inuyasha" she whispered.
"Good night"
Inuyasha sat unmoving, his mind racing. His mother used to sing that very song to him as a lullaby, but she had changed it, it was a song for a mother to sing to her sun he knew the words by heart.....
'I never thought I could create some one As perfect as you, as perfect as you Believe me when I say my sun I'll never ever... ever love one more then you When I'm close to you... I'll be your strength Close to you... I'll shed your pain I'll give you strength when you are week I'll helped you through your darken days And with you by my side I feel the strength to take on all that come my way.
You have my shoulder to cry upon My voice to speak your mind And a friend to lift you high, high....
And to you I give my hand, my heart, and my word that I'll never leave. For the love I share, creates a bond that will never break. Cause all I need in this world to survive Is you my sun Till the end of time.
She had changed it; or had she heard it sung that way before?
Inuyasha would not raise his hopes, she had sung it the way she had heard it, that was all.
Kagome breathed in Inuyashas scent, her mind slowly drifting off to sleep 'to you I give my hand, my heart, and my word that I'll never leave. For the love we share, creates a bond that will never break. Cause all I need in this world to survive is you my love till the end of time.....Inuyasha I'll always love you'
Amber eyes: Ok so I had a little trouble finding a song to fit but I thought those two went pretty well, I hoped you liked that chapter as usual please review!
