Chapter 10: The Start of A Long Journey
Vibes: Euphoria – Late Night Drive Home
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
The smell of the earth after rain was the first thing Kagome's senses picked up when she woke Thursday morning. It was a smell she could never get sick of, the only reason it caused any sort of alarm in her head was because it hadn't rained at all for the past few days Kagome had been on campus. So, Kagome did what any rational person would do and shot right up, unwary of the guard dog that was previously draped around her smaller form.
Said guard dog began to growl lowly as soon as his precious teddy bear had ripped herself from his firm hold. Kagome immediately recognized her minor transgression, making the mental note to relate her favourite smell to Inuyasha as to prevent any further incidents like this, and lay back down in the warm circle of Inuyasha's beefy arms. 'He could probably snap my neck if he wanted to…' Kagome mused morbidly; Instead favouring the task of remembering the events of last night.
All seemed well in Kagome's head until she thought about what had happened in the bathroom; She blushed a deep red that spread farther down than the collar of her abnormally large hoodie would allow the common eye to see. 'Inuyasha… he… INUYASHA SAW ME NAKED OH GOD. Also, why is this hoodie so big? It's practically tangled around me.' Kagome looked down to see a hoodie she'd seen Inuyasha wear once.
Key words: Seen Inuyasha wear.
This was Inuyasha's hoodie. She was wearing Inuyasha's hoodie (and sweats!) after he'd seen her completely bare; However, she was grateful that he didn't take advantage of her vulnerable state, many guys would have. Kagome blushed even deeper (if that was possible) as she gazed up at Inuyasha's angelic face. 'Somehow he gets even cuter when he sleeps.' She giggled lightly, reaching up to brush his strong jaw with the tips of her soft fingers. This is what roused Inuyasha from his wonderful dreams; "Gome'?" He groggily mumbled, rubbing his eyes with one hand and practically erasing Kagome's soul in the process. "G- good morning sleepy-yasha." She tried her best not to stumble over her words as Inuyasha began to pull her closer to his muscly, yet soft chest.
Inuyasha blearily squinted his eyes open to heatedly stare at Kagome's prone figure. "Goooood morn'n Ka-go-me~" He huskily whispered, still drawing Kagome into his enchanting embrace. The tension between them growing stronger with something so potent it felt like they had been put under a spell.
When their torsos finally brushed against each other, Inuyasha ceased his movements in order to make some (hold on to your underwear folks) rapacious eye contact with Kagome, their eyes locking into a silent battle of dominance. After a minute or two of staring at each other, Kagome, rather stubbornly, looked away, signifying that Inuyasha had won their little contest.
Being smug about his victory, he pulled his hand from where it rested heavily on Kagome's waist to cup her face firmly. Inuyasha wasted no time as he tilted her head back and met her eyes with a ravenous look, one that screamed 'You're mine and I will do as I please with you. I dare you to challenge my authority.' In other words, a dangerous look when it came to yokai and their partners. However, it was too late for Kagome to make an escape. Inuyasha leaned down and captured her soft lips in a…. sweet kiss?
Or it was sweet until Kagome had accidentally brushed her hand against Inuyasha's crotch, awakening something primal within him. The once soft, chaste kiss became anything but. Inuyasha's tongue pushed it's way past Kagome's lips to caress hers. She moaned in shock and delight, further encouraging Inuyasha's brash behaviour. He began to slide his hands up and down Kagome's waist, the tips of his claws just barely scraping underneath the waistband of her underwear.
They could both stay in this moment forever, but the need for air had overridden their apparent lust for each other as they both broke off to pant like dogs that had been sitting in the summer heat. Their eyes were still locked onto one another, but the urgent warmth that had risen between them was beginning to cool, leaving only soft, shy smiles and their genuine love.
"So," Inuyasha started. "How about breakfast my fine madame?" He wiggled his eyebrows and let the smug smile make it's way to his face.
"I, Kagome the great, would indubitably agree to the prospect of a fine breakfast." Kagome responded with a mock-British accent, pretending to hold a monocle to her right eye and holding her left pointer finger to her upper lip to act as a moustache. They locked eyes for a moment once more before bursting out into giggles at their horrible attempt at comedy. This marked the wonderous start of Kagome and Inuyasha's relationship, along with the start of her recovery.

Sango came back from her run only to hear the lovely sound of Kagome's laughter through her bedroom door. This was the first time she'd heard it in about a week. Thinking about the week however, brought back the many memories she'd made through it…
After movie night at Inuyasha's apartment, Sango woke to find herself cuddled up with the lecherous roommate. 'What was his name? Margarine? Microwave? Miracle Whip? No… I think it was… Miroku.' Of course, she was NOT pleased in the slightest for his large, warm arms to be wrapped so surely around her waist, his head resting just above her navel. So, she did what she would normally do and shoved this Miroku guy off of the couch.
'I bet he's cuddled with lots of other girls.' Sango thought in annoyance and… was that… a hint of jealousy? 'Why should I care if the perverted stranger has had other girls. It's not like we're going to end up together anyways; He's a perv.' The small blush grazing Sango's cheeks had been the first thing Miroku Picked up on after his rude awakening. "It's not every day that a beautiful woman pushes me to the ground." He mused, a teasing sparkle glimmering in his eyes. "I like it~" Marker practically purred, to which Sango grimaced. 'WHAT. THE FUCK. Is this man for real?'
However, Sango's apparent disgust only made Miroku like her even more. Usually women would put up with his antics simply because he was cute enough to get away with it. But Sango had made her contempt for him incredibly obvious; He'd only known her for less than 24 hours and she'd already slapped him unconscious and booted his ass off the couch they'd been previously sharing. God, he was such a simp for strong-willed women.
Without even thinking about it, Miroku's hand wandered. They made the great journey to the top of Sango's thighs before she'd caught him and gave the back of his head a firm hit, knocking him temporarily unconscious. This was how a very tired Kagome and understanding Inuyasha came to find the pair as flushed and unconscious as they were.
After that night, Sango just couldn't lose the guy. Not in an "OMG he's totally stalking me!" type-deal but more in a "We keep making eye contact and he's everywhere I go" situation. Every time they saw each other Miroku would start to make his way to her but Sango would always manage to escape (miraculously), leaving behind a very dazed and confused monk in her wake. But one time, he'd been able to catch her before she had time to duck behind passersby.
Miroku had spotted the strongest woman he'd ever come across, their eyes met in a short, yet understanding visual communication. This scenario had been occurring all week; Both him and the woman he'd come to know as Sango would coincidentally end up in the same place, make tense eye-contact, then Sango would disappear when he'd try to go talk with her, Miroku was convinced he was hallucinating! But today the coffee shop they both happened to frequent was empty (besides the corpse of a barista, who's dark circles could be considered black holes), thus Sango had nowhere to run. H A ! Okay so maybe that sounded really creepy in his head but could you blame him for being this excited about finally getting to talk to his newest infatuation after she purposefully avoided him all week long?
Spotting his chance, the lanky man strode across the small café within five paces and promptly sat down across from Sango (who had been previously enjoying her earl grey matcha latte.)
"Hey." Miroku said in a sultry tone. Reeeaaal smooth.
"Fuck off ball fondler." Came Sango's harsh, yet oddly endearing (?) reply.
"You hurt me so, my love!" He pretended to wipe a tear from his eye as he snatched Sango's precious beverage and took a… GIANT SIP?! OH HELL NO YOU DO NOT MESS WITH SANGO FUCKING TAIJA'S FOOD NUH-UH! Sango's eyes filled with ire as her jaw dropped. This man would not make it to see tomorrow.

Sango still felt the rage she felt that day beginning to bubble up inside of her stomach but decided to put that on hold, she could go beat up the letch later but right now she wanted to think back on the other things he'd made her feel. The warm, fluttering feeling filling her stomach that made her want to throw up every time he was near; That damned fluttering was the whole reason she'd been running away from Miroku in the first place (besides the fact that he was a total perv.) Sango couldn't believe herself, 'A guy gropes you whilst simultaneously suggesting that you watch a cheesy chick-flick from the 90s and you develop feelings for him what the actual fuck is wrong with you.' And Sango was correct in her thought process because how weird do you have to be to get attracted to that…
The answer is pretty damn weird.

I am so so so sorry the chapter is shorter than usual ;( I've been working to get this chapter out by the end of this long weekend but I need to focus on my schooling this week. (cry)
I will be starting the next chapter next weekend so I have absolutely NO distractions (as I will have my room back and hopefully no homework). I promise to be a good little author and get the next chappie out A.S.A.P!1!1!1!
As always, take care of yourselves (eat that dessert you're eyeing at the café, buy yourself the thing you've been wanting, do that facemask etc.), and have a wonderful day/evening :D
Love,
Your very favourite weirdo, p0go (scribblefrog) 3
