Catse: Hello! It's me Catse! Thankyou for your reviews (that was very surprising how I woke up this morning to all of them). Here's the next update. This may not be a funny chapter (don't really remember) but I garantee that the real fun begins on the next one, and goes from there. Oh well, enjoy this chappie!
Disclaimer: See chappie one...That's where it is.
Inuyasha had been watching in secret, from her bedroom window. 'So that's how she feels. Keh…stupid woman. Why didn't you say anything before? I may be able to pick up on some things, but this. Keh.'
He sat on his tree limb and watched as Kagome walked back in, clothed in her nightie, and as she fell on to the bed and fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow. 'Stupid woman.'
When Inuyasha was certain she was asleep, he opened the window with a quiet squeak, and crept in, looking at the soft face set on the pillow. He had always admired her dark jet black tresses, but for what reason, he wasn't sure. It wasn't as if her hair was any prettier than his. In fact, he was certain silver hair was far more prettier than any humans, especially considering he was half demon. But he couldn't help it. Her hair fell in silk around her face, and touched her soft rose cheek with such a light flutter that sometimes he just wanted to snatch that bit of hair and pet it like one would a fluffy animal. It was probably because of his mother's influence on him. When he was young, and she was still healthy, she would always brush out his hair and comment on how pretty it was, and how humans hair was always so course and easily split or frayed. He probably wouldn't have noticed hair at all if it weren't for that.
Inuyasha took a seat in a chair that was near the bed, and slowly, timidly, he reached over and touched her hair. He marveled at how soft it was, and how its smell reminded him of roses and wild berries (which was the scent of her shampoo) and how he wished that he could pet it more often.
Past her hair, her strangled face seemed to relax, until she was almost completely at rest with her eyes closed, breathing softly as Inuyasha ran his claws through the hair soothingly. He truly was sorry for raising the argument, as he was everytime he did so, but he couldn't help himself in that either. It was a part of his blood. It was a habit. He could never settle for a conversation unless he had the last word, and many times, it ended with him saying something he shouldn't have said.
Of course he was aware, that if he didn't stop it soon, he would loose more than her affections of him, but her all together.
He might loose her to one of the many men they saw every once in a while. Like Kouga, although brash and easily tempered, much like himself, was always sweet as he could be with Kagome, bringing her flowers, and trying to protect her, and exclaiming his love to her every other day when he had the chance. And Sesshomaru. Of course, Sesshomaru never once in his life had paid a comment to the young miko, he was still much more appeasing to the eye than Inu was, and if he tried, could probably be the knight in shining armor most ladies like Kagome were looking for.
Nothing really kept Inuyasha in Kagome's good favor, except for his saving her at every turn of a demon. Inuyasha sighed, and brushed Kagome's hair away and behind her ear. How he wished he could tell Kagome how he felt about her. He would give the world if he had the courage! Fight every demon in his way, including his older brother and even Kouga and Naraku, if he could only find the courage to tell Kagome he loved her.
Of course, Kikyo would always cross his mind…and in the past, he would always run to her and think of her and such. But being around Kagome had made him see something about her time. Guys of her time might get very attached to their first love, but there were always more fish in the sea as Kagome had put it, and maybe she was his fish. But that also worked in Kagome's case, which was why he felt like he was a tripwire walker, and his only balance was Kagome's feelings toward him. He would always love Kikyo, and cherish her as his first, but there were always others, and he couldn't live his life dead like her. He was living, and he had to keep on living if it only meant to exist.
Inuyasha turned to the clock on Kagome's table, and having figured out her way of time in her world, determined it too late for him to be cooing over Kagome. So, with a little more bravery than he thought he had in this situation, he leaned over and placed a soft jittery kiss on her cheek, and leapt from the window, hoping Kagome wouldn't remember a bit of it.
Catse: Well, there you go. Like I said, next one will get funnier, I promise. This is just a little background to lay down the story. That's all. But don't worry. Kagome won't be depressed for long!
