Chapter 17: Wow!

She can't believe him! How can he do this to her?

Isn't she beautiful enough.

The sex was good. . .well erotic and wild.

Why her?

That girl.

That thing.

That peasant!

'She's stealing him away from me!' Kikyo thought angrily. 'She's in his mind all the time! If this keeps up, she'll be in his heart, too! I can't let that happen!'

Then she smirked.

'Then again, it'll be more interesting,' Kikyo thought with a sinister smile. 'I'll let Inuyasha have his fun for a while, then I'll drop it on him to show him I'm not to be messed with.'

She chuckled as she sat down on the sofa.

'All I have to do is wait for the perfect time.'

Then she heard the door open and turned to see Naraku entering.

"Well, it seems you're happy," he said with a raised brow.

"I finally realized something," she said with a monotone voice.

"Oh? And that is?"

Kikyo gave him a sick, sweet smile.

"Payback is sweet."


Miroku and Inuyasha entered the club and looked for the girls.

It's been a week, and they leave tomorrow, so all the students gathered for one finale party. Everyone in a bathing suit, and drinks all around.

When Miroku finally spotted his new girlfriend, he quickly dragged Inuyasha with him.

"Hey! Don't pull my hair, you idiot!" Inuyasha yelled at him.

"My honey buns is waiting and I can't do that now, can I? " Miroku smirked.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "That is so sick and twisted."

When they finally got there, they sat down. The couple chatted away. . .well make out more like it.

Inuyasha shuddered. Then the thought hit him.

'Where's Kagome?'

She isn't here with them.

'What if she was kidnaped by that bastard, again?'

The thought was enough for him to interrupt the couple's lip lock. He ignored Miroku's glare and protests.

"Sango, where is Kagome?" he demanded. He didn't noticed Miroku's grin.

Sango blinked. "She didn't want to come so she went to the beach, instead."

"But there is noone at the beach at this time," the confused hanyou replied.

Sango nodded, "That's the point."

Inuyasha nodded. His eyes shifted to the couple, who just stared at him.

He stretched his arms and let out a fake yawn. "Well. . .I'm tired. . .so I think I should go now," he said as he stood up and started to leave.

"And remember, Kagome has no curfew!" Sango yelled out.

Miroku nodded, "And make sure you use a condom!"

Inuyasha blushed and quickly walked out of the club leaving the crazy couple laughing behind him.


The night is so beautiful. It surprised her when she could actually see the stars above.

"Amazing," she whispered.

Kagome is sitting in the sand, with her arms wrapping her knees to her chest.

The breeze is relaxing. The water moving due to the gentle waves occurring.

She smiled.

"Hey, wench," she heard a very familiar voice say.

She didn't turn. She already knew who it was.

"Can I help you?" she asked annoyingly.

Inuyasha sat next to her, crossed legged. He looked at her and smirked.

"Gee, I don't know, can you?" Inuyasha asked playfully.

Kagome shook her head. "You're annoying."

"Thanks for the compliment," he said sarcastically.

"Your very welcomed."

They sat there in silence. Not one of them saying a word. Just there sitting in each other's company staring at the ocean.

Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome?" he said, still keeping his eyes at the ocean.

"Hm?"

"Let's swim."

Kagome turned her head to look at him in shock. "What?"

Inuyasha smiled at her. "Let's swim in the water."

"Your serious?" she asked incredulous.

Inuyasha nodded.

She shrugged. "Hell, why not? The water looks fine to me."

Inuyasha smirked. "Let's make this interesting," he said as he stood up and help her as well.

"Oh?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Let's have a race."

"A swimming race?"

"Correct."

Kagome put her hands on her hips and nodded, "Sure. I'm up for it."

"Cool," Inuyasha said as he took off his white T-shirt and only left on his black swim shorts.

Kagome blushed. 'When did he have a sexy body? Looks at those abs!'

Inuyasha's smirk grew wider when he caught her staring at his body.

"Like what you see?" he teased.

Kagome blushed more. She could feel the heat on her face. She cleared her throat and walked to the water. "I've seen better," she simply said.

"Riiight," he mumbled as he too walked to the water.

The water splashed against their feet, causing Kagome to let out a small squeal. Inuyasha chuckled. "You afraid of water or somethin?"

Kagome shook her head, "Just caught me by surprise.

They let their bodies coma deeper to the water and floated for a while to get used to the cool feeling that brought goose bumps to their skin.

"You ready?" Inuyasha asked as he prepared himself.

Kagome also prepared herself and nodded.

"Now don't cry if I beat you, puppy?" Kagome teased.

Inuyasha growled lightly. "Puppy? That's it! I was going to be soft on you but now I'm goingto destroy you."

"You wish," Kagome snorted.

"Okay. Ready. Set."

"Wait!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Now what?"

"Where do we swim to?"

Inuyasha smacked his forehead with his palm. "Idiot! I forgot."

Kagome sniggered.

Inuyasha pointed ahead of him, "See that white thingy floating over there?"

Kagome squinted her eyes, "You mean the thing that tells you not to swim past it?"

"Yeah, w swim up to there and come back. And remember, don't cry if I beat you," he said.

"Oh, please. You should be the one who should prepare to eat my dust."

"Hey, I have a private trainer. I would so beat you."

Kagome smirked. "You're such a rich boy."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Now ready."

She prepared herself.

"Set," she said.

Inuyasha took off.

"Hey! You didn't say go!" Kagome yelled as she began to swim. She is a good swimmer. Not the best, but good enough to beat this bastard.

She swam as fast as she can and then dived under the water. She's faster that way. Once she made it to the white, floating, thingy she swam her ass to shore.

She took some breathes and continued swimming as fast as she can. She noticed Inuyasha wasn't in front of her, so that means she's beating him.

She finally made it to shore and tried to catch her breath.

"Well, who's the loser, now?" she said as she turn to the ocean, but found noone there. "Inuyasha?" she said. 'Where is he?' she thought.

She narrowed her eyes to see any sign of the hanyou. 'He can't be swimming still, can he?'

Then she saw it.

Silver hair floating on the water. And are those. . .bubbles?

Kagome panicked. She immediately ran into the water. "Inuyasha!"

She's scare shitless. She only prays nothing happens to him.

'Please be okay,' she thought as she swam faster. Her legs started to get numb and cramp up, but she ignored it.

She wrapped his arm around her and she did also and began to swim to shore again.

'My god, he's heavy,' she thought as she struggled. She winced when her legs couldn't take the pressure anymore, but she isn't going to stop. She has to keep on going.

She pulled him with her and pushed him to the sand. She tugged back a strand of her hair behind her ear and put her ear to his chest, to listen for a heart beat. She let out a sigh of relief.

'He's still alive,' she thought.

Then she froze. Something is not right.

'Why isn't his chest moving,' she thought.

He's not breathing.

"Inuyasha," she whispered.

'How did he get into this mess?'

She sucked in some air and without hesitation she pressed her lips against his soft, wet ones. She blew in his mouth. Then she pulled back and put her hands to his chest and pressed some pressure, and again, and again. She came closed to his face and sucked some air. She gain pressed her lips against his, but something went wrong.

How did a tongue came into her mouth?

And why is there a hand an her ass?

She pulled back and slapped the hanyou.

Inuyasha with his eyes still closed sat up and had a stupid smile on his lips. Somehow satisfied.

"You're worse than Miroku!" Kagome yelled.

"That was hilarious," he said.

Then when he opened his eyes, he regretted it.

Kagome had tears running down her flushed cheeks. Her body shaking.

She hugged him hard and tight.

Inuyasha gasped.

He heard her sobbing violently and buried her face in his chest.

"Kagome?"

What was wrong with her?

She pounded her tiny fist against his hard chest.

"You idiot!" she yelled out.

"Kagome, it was a joke. You're not going to get in trouble if I did die," he reassured her as he wrapped his arms around her.

She pounded harder. It didn't hurt him. She knew that. And he knew that she knew.

"I wasn't afraid of that," she chocked out.

"What were you afraid of then?" he said.

"Losing you," she whispered.

His eyes grew wide. His heart pounded wildly.

He pulled her head gently, so she can look at him.

"My god," he whispered.

Her eyes were puffy and red, her nose red also. Tears running down her now sticky cheeks. But the emotion in her eyes got to him. There, in her beautiful, icy, bright, blue eyes, was fear.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry," he said urgently as he hugged her close to him. "I'm so sorry, if I knew it would of upset you I wouldn't have done that stupid stunt."

She sniffled. She pulled back and sat next to him and laid her head on his shoulder. "Please don't do that again," she pleaded in a weak voice.

"I won't," he said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and rested his head on the crown of her head.

They stood quiet when Inuyasha finally spoke-

"Why were you afraid?" he asked. He looked at her. He really wanted to know. Did she feel the same as he did.

She looked up at him. He was surprised when her eyes and nose went back to normal. And her eyes weren't in the state of fear.

'That's good,' he thought.

Kagome gave him a small smile. "Who else am I going to argue with, Inu?"

He chuckled. She's so unpredictable. He likes that. Then he realized she called him Inu and not Inuyasha. Only his friends call him that. So does that mean Kagome is just his friend, then?

Kagome noticed his pout. "What's wrong? Is my little puppy sad?" she teased.

Inuyasha growled playfully. "I'll show you who's the puppy?"

She squealed as he pushed her on her back and tried to tickle her. She didn't let him, as she turned them around. Then they both laughed as they rolled around the sand, fighting for dominance.

Inuyasha won, eventually.

He pinned her down. One of his hands pinned her arms above her head and the other tickled her, mercifully.

"Say it," Inuyasha smirked. He likes the fact that she put up a good fight.

"No," Kagome laughed.

He tickled her on her right side, which has just discovered that it's her most ticklish spot since she laughed more.

"Say it," he said.

"Okay. I'm Inuyasha's bitch!" Kagome yelled out.

He stopped tickling her and let goof her hand and flopped down next to her. He supported himself with his elbow looking down at her.

"You know it sound a lot funnier when Miroku says it," he said.

Kagome laughed. "Miroku?"

"Yup," he nodded.

Kagome looked up at the sky. While Inuyasha studied her. Her hair is slightly damp. He looked At her heart shaped face. Her eyes held so much innocence, but had a fiery passion in them. Her nose is perfect. It's not big, small, pointy, or round. It's cute. And her lips. Oh, he loved those lips. He could kiss them for hours and hours. He traced her delicious neck with his eyes. His demon blood wanted to bit into her flesh but he refrained. He looked at her toned arms. She has muscles. Then his eyes traveled to her chest. She was wearing one of those two piece string bikinis. Her chest move up and down as she tried to catch her breathe. He must of tickled her too hard. He couldn't help but think how full and soft her breast looked her could see her nipples. He just wanted to twist them but again he didn't. He noticed how water droplets raced down her nice stomach, abs actually. This girl is all muscles. Skinny but muscles. He took in her sexy curves. Her bikini underwear stopped just above, what he believe would be her soft curls. Oh, how he wanted to taste her. Was she spicy or sweet? Then her nice, long creamy legs. He remembers touching them and feeling how soft and smooth they are. He looked back at her face again. She still is looking at the sky. Hasn't she noticed he was checking her out? He knows she's wise, but can she be naive too?

'She's beautiful,' he thought.

"Inu, look! A shooting star," she said cheerfully as she urged him to look up.

Yes, indeed. There was a shooting star.

"It's beautiful," Kagome sighed.

Inuyasha looked at her, "It is."

Kagome looked back at him. "What?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "Nothing."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "What?"

Inuyasha smiled. "Nothing. It's just that. . ."

"That what?" she asked him with a raised brow.

He put his hand on her side and rubbed his thumb against her wet, soft skin. She didn't seem to be bothered by this. "Your beautiful," he breathed out.

Kagome blushed. She bit her lips.

Inuyasha frowned slightly. She shouldn't punish those precious lips of hers like that.

"Inuyasha," she said as she looked into her eyes. 'God, I could get lost in them,' she thought.

Inuyasha smiled lazily as he moved closer to her. "Yes?"

Kagome, herself, moved closer and put on a smile of her own too. "What are we?"

He brushed his nose against her nose. "I don't know."

Kagome smiled wider and lightly bit his upper lip and kept her eyes on his. "Wanna find out?"

Inuyasha chuckled ever so lightly. "Maybe."

He felt her breathe on his lips, teasing him. "Do you?"

"Maybe," she mocked him as she put her hand on his arm, that he had on her side.

Inuyasha closed the tiny space between them and captured her lips with his own. His experienced lips moved over her still beginning ones. He moaned as she nibbled his bottom lips. She pulled him closer to her. Now he was completely on top of her. Inuyasha licked her lips for an entrance, which she gladly opened and let his tongue roam her mouth. God, how he loved her sweet, innocent taste. He heard her moaned as he teased her tongue by flicking it. He noticed how she wasn't so used to kissing. At first he thought she was joking when she said he took her first kiss. He went along with it. But now, he knows she's IS innocent. So he pulled back so she could catch her breathe since her breathing started to get shallow. He rested his forehead against her's.

"Wow," she smiled.

Inuyasha smirked.

Kagome ran her fingers across his hair, "It's so soft."

Inuyasha gave her a light kiss on her lips, "Yeah they are."

Kagome giggled and slapped his shoulder playfully. "It's getting late."

Inuyasha nodded and stood up, and amazingly with Kagome still in his arms. He ran his hand down her spine and felt her shiver. He looked into her eyes and smiled.

Kagome smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. He giggled when she heard him whine. She gave him a small peck, but he pulled her into a chaste kiss.

She pulled back. "Good night, Inu."

"Night, Kags," he muttered.

He let go of her as she started walking. She gave him one last look and smiled softly as he gave her a sheepishly one.


Kagome hummed happily as she walked to her room.

She touched her lips. She doesn't know what made her do that.

'Duh! You're head over heels in love with him!'

She gasped. 'When did I fall in love? I thought I just liked him.'

Her conscience rolled her eyes, 'You fell in love when he kissed you.'

Kagome her head. 'But it's too soon.'

'Then why were you so afraid to lose him when you thought he was going to die?'

Kagome's eyes grew wide. 'I AM in love with Inuyasha.'

'Ding, ding, ding! Bingo! You won!'

'But does he love me?'

Before her conscience could answer, Kagome was pushed to the wall roughly. Her cheek started to hurt a little. She was grabbed by the hair and was tunrd around only to see. . .

Kikyo.

"Higurashi," she growled.

"What do you want Kikyo?" Kagome demanded.

Kikyo grabbed her by the shoulders not too gently and shook her. "Stay away from Inuyasha," she said vemonly.

Kagome smirked, "What? Afraid that he doesn't want you?"

Kikyo gave her a face, "Is that what he made you believe?"

"What?" Kagome asked confused.

Now it was Kikyo's turn to smirk. "Are you that stupid?"

"What are you talking about?"

"He's only using you, Kagome, to get me jealous," Kikyo simply said.

Kagome snorted. "You're full of yourself."

Kikyo cocked an eyebrow. "Oh, really?"

"Yes, really."

Kikyo's smirk didn't faltered. "Do you obviously think he like you?"

"So what, if he does? Kikyo, it's none of your business!"

Kikyo chuckled. "Kagome, dear. I'm warning you. Just stay away from Inuyasha. He's only using you make me jealous."

Kagome snorted again. "You guys never went out! You were just a fuck to him. What makes you think he want s you?"

"I over heard him saying how he wants me?"

Kagome raised an eyebrow, "If he wanted you why didn't he have you?"

"Did you ever noticed how I'm now spending time with Naraku? He's mad and jealous, so he's using you."

Kagome shook her head. "That's not true."

"It is."

"No! Just shut up, Kikyo!"

Kagome couldn't take it. Kikyo is lying. Inuyasha isn't using her. He's not playing with her. No. It's not true.

Kikyo's smirk got bigger. Good. She was getting to her.

"Did you ever wonder why he has been so nice to you?"

Kagome stared at her.

"Did you noticed that me and him haven't spent time with each other?"

"Maybe he finally realized what a slut you really are."

Kikyo ignored her insult.

"Kagome, did you noticed how we look so much alike?"

Kagome stood there shock. Yes, she has been told that. They do.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

Kikyo smiled sickly. "You remind him of me?"

Kagome said nothing.

"You see," she said sweetly, "You're considered the biggest slut in school. The rumors and stuff. Ever since I've been with Naraku, Inuyasha has been desperate. He's been calling to be with him."

Kagome shook her head.

"Yes, Kagome. Wether you like it or not, he has. So who else could look almost like me? You."

Kagome could fell tears forming in her eyes.

Kikyo mentally congratulated herself.

"So Inuyasha's been playing with you Kagome? I'm telling you to stop seeing him because I've been thinking of us finally becoming official, then he'll just leave you alone to cry," she smirked, "Tell me has he kissed you?"

Kagome froze.

Kikyo studied her lips. "From the looks of it, it looks like he has. Tell me does he kiss you breathlessly?"

A tear ran down Kagome's cheek.

"AW! Don't cry. I'm just telling you the truth. You should be thanking me for telling you this," she said as she wiped the tear of her face. "He only wants to fuck with you, Kagome. I mean what do you have to offer? You're Peasant Girl! That's your title. Inuyasha won't love you. He'll only think of me when he's with you."

Tears ran down Kagome's face. 'This can't be happening.'

Kikyo smiled. "Remember what I said," she said as she started to leave, but not without throwing another comment. "Besides it's not like you have fallen in love with him, right?"

Kagome ran to her room and ignored Sango's greeting from the kitchen. She slammed the door and locked herself shut. She sat on her bed and grabbed her pillow and hugged it.

She heard a knock on the door. She knew it was Sango.

"Kagome. I'm going to sleep. Hope you dream with Inuyasha," she teased as she herself went to her room.

That really hurt Kagome.

'It was all a lie!' she thought sadly.

She laid on her bed on her side, still hugging the pillow.

She let out a small smile, "I guess she was right. I'm Peasant Girl. Why would he want me?"

She rolled on her back and stared at the ceiling.

"Wow."
