What Lies Beneath The Eyes: Chapter 9

Giggling and laughing were heard as two children were playing a game of tag, in a field of flowers. One was a little girl with long pink hair and emerald eyes. The other one was a little boy with long silver hair, with two little white dog ears perched on top of his head. The two of them were happily playing together, no interruptions there to stop their never-ending happiness.

"Tag, you're it!" cheered the little girl, tagging the boy and quickly running away from him.

The boy stood there stunned, before quickly smiling and ran after her. "I'll get you!"

"In your wildest dreams! You can't catch me!" she shouted back to him, but didn't see him anywhere behind him. "Huh? Where did he go?" She suddenly let out a scream, when she was tackled from behind, sending her tumbling to the ground along with someone.

"Gotch ya!" The boy grinned from ear to ear, hovering over the pink-haired girl giggled, lying underneath him. He stared down at her for a moment or so. She looked so beautiful to him. Like a pink rose. He felt his face heat up and quietly removed himself from her body, sitting straight up.

The girl looked at him, confused of what just happened. "What's wrong, Inuyasha?" the girl asked, sitting up as well.

The boy named Inuyasha turned away from her, his face red as a tomato. "Nothing." he simply said, looking further away from her.

"Well, it doesn't look like nothing." said the girl, looking at him curious. "C'mon. You can tell me."

"Um...Moka, I..." he stuttered, not really knowing what else to say. "Do you like me?"

Moka stared at him, shocked of what he just asked. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I like you?"

The boy just shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe because of my dog ears... They're ugly."

Moka let out a giggle in response. "Well, I don't think so. I like your dog ears. They're cute."

Inuyasha looked at Moka in shock. "You think so?"

She nodded and reached up, petting his ears softly. "And I think you're cute too."

Inuyasha sat there frozen in place at what she told him. She liked him. She said he was cute. She doesn't think he's ugly. "Well...I think you're cute too, Moka."

Moka could only smile at him and giggle. The two of them looked into each other's eyes. The two of them were now blushing, their little hearts beating at rapid speed. The two of them leaned in towards one another, their eyes closed. They were about to lock lips with each other, until both of them pulled away from each other. The two of them looked away from one another, a light blush across their faces.

"Um...you wanna try that again?" Inuyasha nervously asked.

"Okay." Moka nodded, blushing as well. Once again, the two of then leaned in towards each other, and then pulled away. "Um...Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?" he answered, looking towards her.

"Do you think we should wait, until we're at least older to be able to do it?" she asked.

"Do what?" he questioned, confused of what "it" is.

"You know... What older people do, when they're married." she answered, blushing ten shades of red.

"You mean what we just did?" he gestured.

"Mmhm." she nodded, meekly.

Inuyasha thought about it for a moment. The two of them didn't know what "it" meant and the of them were too young to be doing "it", anyway. Besides, their parents would be really mad at them, if they found out they were doing "it", when they're not even suppose to. Only grown-ups were suppose to know about that stuff, not them. The two of them are both young to understand what it meant. Besides, mating was not something to refer to as a game. "Okay, we'll wait until we're older." Moka agreed with a nodded. "Pinky swear?" he gestured holding out his pinky to her.

The girl let out a giggle, before linking her pinky to his. "Pinky swear." she smiled as the two of them laughed together.

My eyes fluttered opened, due to the sun glaring brightly through the window. I turned my head, letting my eyes slowly adjust to the light of the early morning. The room was serene, filled with a calm hush as I lay there. I turned over to look at Kagome, who was probably asleep next to me, but it seems that she wasn't there. Something told me right away, that she was at school. Of course. How could I forget? She told me that she had to take test. That's right... I gently swung my feet from the bed, my feet touching the ground. I carefully stood up, stretching before heading downstairs.

When I got there, I saw Kagome's mother, grandfather, and younger brother in the kitchen. Her grandpa and younger brother were both sitting at the table, while her mother was at the stove, cooking. Her mother turned and smiled at me. "Oh, you're awake."

I gave a nod. "I hope I didn't sleep too late."

Her mother just smiled at me. "Not at all. You're right on time. Have a seat, dear." she offered kindly.

I kindly took a seat next to Sota, who was blushing as he stared at me. I let out a giggle, smiling at him. "Good morning, Sota." I greeted, with a kind smile.

"G-Good morning to you too, M-Moka." he stuttered, he face turning a darker shade of red. I could only let out a giggle at how silly he was acting. I knew he had a crush on me, based on what Kagome said. I didn't have a problem with her younger brother having a crush on me. He's only a young boy, so it was pretty normal for him to have those kind of feeling for older girls, like me.

"Is Kagome off to school already?" I asked Kagome's mother.

I watched her mother let out a long sigh. "I'm afraid so. She didn't even at least wanted to have breakfast, before she took off."

I gave her a look of sympathy. "I'm sorry. I'm sure she had a good reason for it."

"You don't have to be sorry for anything, sweet heart. It happens all the time." she chuckled. I gave a nod in response. I suddenly saw a plate placed in front of me. "You should eat something. I don't want you to starve yourself, okay?" she said. I gave a nod and started to eat. "Oh, and when you're done, would you mind taking Kagome her lunch?" I looked at her confused and curious. "I'm afraid she forgot it, while she was in such a hurry."

I gave a smile. "Not a problem at all."

I walked down the path to Kagome's school, wearing a light pink summer dress that was about up to my mid-thighs, with a blue jean jacket and white sandals, Kagome's lunch in hand. Of course, I could go out in a kimono, according to Mrs. Higurashi and her grandfather. Mrs. Higurashi didn't allow me to walk around in public in a kimono, so she strongly suggested that I'd wear one of Kagome's clothes. I didn't feel too comfortable about wearing her clothes, without permission. But it was nice to wear something comfortable, once in a while. I walked in silence, only hearing the chatter of people around, along with my footsteps. As I walked, people were whispering and whistling as I passed by them. Some of the guys that were around me and even walking by me, were all staring, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets. I started to feel even more uncomfortable, when the males started gawking at me. And on the other hand some of the females were giving me jealous look and glares. Did I make a mistake by coming out here, to take Kagome her lunch? I hope not...

I stared up at a tall, huge building with a lot of windows. This must be Kagome's school. By the looks of it, I could partially tell that I wouldn't last a year or so, in this school. I already felt nervous enough, just by looking at it. I swallowed the lump that was stuck in my throat. Here goes nothing... I silently entered the school. I looked around and saw that it was empty. The halls were filled with nothing but shadows from the sun above. I wondered about in the halls, searching for Kagome's class, when suddenly the bell rung. As it did so, a lot of students filled the halls around me. I let out a sigh of frustration. How am I suppose to find Kagome, now?

"Moka?" said a familiar female voice. I turned around to see Kagome, standing there looking confused and curious on why I was here. "What are you doing here?"

I gave a smile. "Well, your mom told that you forgot your lunch and asked me to bring it to you." I explained, holding up her lunch slightly.

I watched Kagome sweatdrop before taking it out of my hands. Oh, yeah. I forgot that mom packed a lunch for me. Thank you so much, I don't what I'll do if I'd had nothing to eat for lunch."

"It's no problem at all."

"Moka, can I ask you something?" I nodded. "Has Inuyasha showed up any today?"

I shook my head. Why would she ask something about Inuyasha showing up here? Only she and I can pass through the well, right? "No, I don't think so. Why?"

I watched Kagome let out a sigh. "Because let me tell you; he has an extremely bad habit showing up here unexpected, especially in public. To make matters worse, he even forget the things he's not suppose to do in this world and he always complain about me be away for so long."

I looked at her shocked. "Are you serious?"

"Yes. Would you mind keeping an out for him, just in case he shows up?" Kagome asked. I gave a nod. "Oh, and don't forget to use this hat to cover his ears. Wouldn't want anyone looking at him strangely. Who knows what would happen then."

"Not a problem at all."

I finally made it back from Kagome's school, when...

"There you are!" called a familiar voice, making me flinch. I followed to where the voice came from and immediately felt shocked, when I saw who the voice belonged to.

"Inuyasha." I stuttered out in shock.

I watched Inuyasha glare at me, annoyed expression plastered on his face. "Where the hell were you guys?"

I opened my mouth to speak. "Inuyasha-"

"Why did you two take off like that, without even telling me, or the others?! And where's Kagome anyway?!"

"She's-"

"Do you have any idea how long I had to look for you two?!"

"Inuyasha, just-"

"Do you have a death wish?! Are you seriously trying to get yourself killed?!"

I was now getting fed up and frustration. "Would you be quiet and sit!" As if on cue, Inuyasha was met face first with the ground. I couldn't help but give a look of confusion. What was that?

I'm just gonna stop right there. If you want the next about Inuyasha and Moka spending time with each other, just leave me a review and maybe I'll probably do that. Oh, and if you're wondering if that was Inuyasha and Moka as little kids, yeah. That was them. Don't forget to review.
