Chapter 18: Aloha Pt.2
It's been four days.
Inuyasha is in his limo, going back home.
And ever since the beach, he can't stop smiling. That goofy smile on his face just won't fade. He's never been this happy.
He feels all giddy.
'But aren't girls the only ones to feel that way,' he thought. Then a picture of a certain raven hair girl flashed in his mind. Again his heart leaped, his palms clammy, and butterflies flying in his stomach. 'Feh. That stupid wench.'
He sighed.
'What are you doing to me, Kagome?'
'Well, isn't it obvious?'
Inuyasha jumped. "The fuck?"
"Young master, is everything all right back there?" the cab driver asked worried.
Inuyasha looked at him. "Uh. . .yeah. . .everything is all right," he said. "I'm going to put the middle window up okay?"
The cab driver nodded as Inuyasha pushed the button that made a dark window come down and separate him and the driver.
Inuyasha sighed. 'Great! now I'm listening to voices in my head.'
'Feh.'
Again Inuyasha jumped. 'What the hell?'
'You're not going crazy.'
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. 'The fuck is this?'
He heard a sigh. 'Sadly, I'm you.'
Inuyasha cocked his head to the side. 'You're me and I'm me and I'm talking to me?'
'God! Your so complicated.'
'I heard that somewhere before.'
The little voice sighed. 'Yeah, from Miroku and by the way, I'm your conscience.'
Inuyasha nodded. 'Make sense. At least I'm not going crazy.'
'So anyways, back to the little question.'
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. 'What question?'
'What Kagome has done to you?'
By hearing the name, Inuyasha couldn't stop but smile. 'So what did that girl do to me?'
'Well, for starters, how have you been feeling when you think about her?'
Inuyasha thought about the question. 'Well. . .giddy I guess.'
His conscience raised an eyebrow. 'Okay. How do you react when think of her?'
As a another picture of Kagome flashed in his mind, the goofy smile returned. 'Just can't stop smiling and my heart feels warm.'
'How do you react when you are with her? And how do you feel?'
'I fight the urge to kiss her and hug her close to me every time I see her. But when I do kiss her and hug her, I'm in heaven. And I feel happy.'
The conscience nodded. 'Well, I know what she has done to you.'
'What did she do?'
The conscience cleared his throat. 'You have fallen in love with her.'
Inuyasha's eyes widen. 'I love Kagome Higurashi?'
'What a surprise, right?' the conscience said sarcastically.
Before Inuyasha could say anything, the limo door opened.
"Young master, you're home," the driver simply stated.
Inuyasha nodded and mumbled a 'thank you' as he got out of the car. He walked to the big mansion in a daze. While his servants carried his luggage.
Inuyasha entered the mansion and walked up the stairs to his room.
"Well, hello little brother."
Inuyasha grumbled something and turned to see Sesshomaru behind him, leaning against his bedroom door, with a smirk on his face. (AN: Isn't Sesshomaru sexy?)
"What do you want Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha said sharply.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, and turned his head to his room. "Rin? I think you should come and see this."
Right there Rin came into view, besides her mate/husband. She looked up at him. He was very tall compare to her. "Yes, darling?"
Sesshomaru nodded to Inuyasha, which cause her look at the hanyou and smiled.
"Inu, you're back?" she said as she went to hug him. Inuyasha returned it.
As Rin pulled away, she let out a small gasp.
"What?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Y-your eyes?" she managed to say.
Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrow and touched his eyelid. "What's wrong with them?"
Rin looked back at Sesshomaru, who still had that ignorant smirk on his face.
"Do you see what I see?" he said in a monotone voice.
Rin nodded. She turned her attention to Inuyasha. "Did something happened to you in Hawaii, Inu?"
Inuyasha clearly confused by everything, shrugged. "What do you mean by that?"
They heard Sesshomaru sighed, and turned to him. "She mean little brother, did anything happened to you and a certain girl?" he said as if was the most obvious thing ever.
Inuyasha blushed. "Well that's none of your business," he said defensively.
Rin squealed. "Oh! You are in love!"
Inuyasha grew three more shades of red. "I-I-I'm not!"
"I could smell it of you, Inuyasha. And your aura gives it off also," Sesshomaru said.
"And your eyes are all sparkly and full of fuzzy, happy feelings," Rin squealed. "They remind me when I saw Sesshomaru's eyes when he said he loves me."
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. "Rin, darling, please. This is not the time."
Inuyasha smirked. "What's wrong Sesshomaru? A little shy?"
"Trying to change the subject, brother?" he said with a raised eyebrow.
Inuyasha said nothing.
"Tell me does this have to do with a certain raven girl who doesn't take shit from you?" Sesshomaru said in a mocking voice.
This caused Rin to squeal more. "You love Kagome!"
Inuyasha waved in arms in the air. "Hey! I never said it was her! What makes you think that!"
Sesshomaru shrugged. "You know? You shouldn't get so worked up about it. I was just saying, but I guess I hit the jackpot. It is Kagome."
Rin jumped up and down. "This is great! You finally got a girl, who is pretty and not a gold digger."
"And has a brain and knows how to tame you," Sesshomaru added.
Inuyasha growled. "Hey!"
"Do you love her?" Rin asked.
Inuyasha looked at her and blushed. "Why would you ask that?"
"Like I said your eyes tell it all. And don't think I didn't noticed how you try to hide that little goofy smile of your's when we mention the name Kagome," she said smartly.
Inuyasha hearing the name DID fought the urge to smile. He wouldn't do it infront of his older brother and Rin.
"See! I knew it!" Rin chirped.
"Tell me, brother," Sesshomaru said.
Inuyasha looked at him, now. "What?"
"Has your demon blood been acting strange lately?" Sesshomaru asked cooly.
"Uh. . .a little. . .why?" Inuyasha was curious.
Sesshomaru smirked and looked at Rin.
"Does this occur when you're with Kagome?" he asked.
Inuyasha not being able to fight it let out a smile and felt his demon blood boil. He shivered.
"That answers my question. Come Rin. We should leave him rest from the long trip," Sesshomaru said as he extended his hand to his mate/wife. (AN: they were mated, then got married.)
Rin taking his hand, nodded and bid Inuyasha goodbye.
Inuyasha shook his head. He would never understand those two.
He quickly ran to his room, which happens to be a few floors up.
He reached for the door knob and opened it and smelt the scent of strawberries.
"Nazuna, what are you doing in my room?" he asked as he noticed his niece on his bed, laying down.
Nazuna yawned and sat up. "I was waiting for you, Uncle Inu," she said as she rubbed her eyes. "I over heard mommy and father talking last night about you coming today. So I spent the whole day in here to meet you."
Inuyasha smiled and went to sit on the bed next to her. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her on the head.
Nazuna returned the hug, and pulled back and smiled. "I missed you."
Inuyasha ruffled her hair, "I missed you, too, munchkin."
Nazuna titled her head to the side. She looks cute when she does that. "You're different?"
Inuyasha raise an eyebrow. "How so?"
"Your eyes and your aura are so fuzzy and happy," she explained.
Inuyasha sighed. 'Yes, leave it to Sesshomaru and Rin to make kid so weird.'
"I'm just happy I'm back to see you," he said. It wasn't a lie. Probably the only person he cares about the most in this house is Nazuna. He loves the little girl to death. Hell, he'll take a bullet for her.
"I know," she smirked. "Who wouldn't?"
"Who taught you how to talk like that?"
Nazuna smiled. "A boy."
Inuyasha growled slightly. "A boy?"
Nazuna nodded. "A hanyou like me."
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "A hanyou?"
"Yup and I love him this much," she said as she spread her arms in the air.
Inuyasha coughed. "You love him!"
Nazuna nodded.
"Who is he?" Inuyasha growled. "I'll kill him."
Nazuna put her hand over her mouth and giggled.
"What's so funny, Nazu?"
"It's you, silly."
Inuyasha blinked. A boy. A hanyou. And she loves him.
Inuyasha chuckled. "Good one."
"So what's wrong Uncle Inu?" Nazuna asked.
Inuyasha sighed sat laid on his bed while Nazuna looked down to him. "Girl trouble."
"I could help," Nazuna offered.
Inuyasha let out a sft laugh. "Thanks, but you're too young to know about things like this."
Nazuna frowned. "Hey! I could so help. Just tell me."
Inuyasha sighed and rubbed his temples. "Alright. Well this girl at school, I liked her a lot in freshmen year."
Nazuna knows the name of years in highschool. She was not stupid. She IS after all the daughter of Sesshomaru Takahashi. She's smart like her father. The little girl nodded.
"And, when I finally got the courage to talk to her, I was told that she's a peasant," he explained.
Again, this girl is not stupid. She knows about gold diggers and such. She knows when people of her class say the word 'peasant' it means a middle-class person and a gold digger.
"Let me guess. You believed it and turned the other cheek, didn't you?" Nazuna questioned.
Inuyasha nodded. "You guess right. And you know what? I found out she really isn't."
Nazuna nodded. "And?" she said for him to continue.
"I did some pretty bad thing to her and she fought back," he said with a frown.
"I like the sound of this girl," Nazuna smiled. "She sounds fun," she paused, "is she the one who egg bombed Uncle Miroku's car?"
Inuyasha nodded. "Yup, that's her."
"And yes, I really do like her," she smiled.
Inuyasha smiled softly.
"So what's the problem, Uncle Inu?" she asked.
Inuyasha stood quiet for a few moments.
Nazuna waited patiently.
"I fell in love with her," he finally said. He felt as if weight from his shoulders were off. It felt good saying it.
Nazuna gave him a cheesy smile but frowned. "What about Kikyo?"
Inuyasha froze. When was the last time he fucked with Kikyo? Let alone talk to her?
"I don't know. She isn't my girlfriend, so she's not my problem."
Nazuna sighed. "She's evil."
"How so?"
Nazuna shrugged. "I don't like her."
"You never like girl I date or bring home."
"Because then you wouldn't spend time with me."
Inuyasha sighed and caressed her cheek, he heard her purr a little. He smiled.
"I would never, NEVER stop spending time with you," he said softly with full meaning.
Nazuna gave him a cute smile.
"So does that mean you won't like this girl, either?" Inuyasha asked.
Nazuna looked at him shocked. "Did you tell her you love her?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "Not yet."
Nazuna smiled. "Well by what you told me, I like her already. She sounds fun."
Inuyasha smiled.
"But does that mean Kikyo would stop coming here? Because before when you did date someone, you were still playing with her?"
She was always told that when Kikyo was here to leave her uncle and her alone because they were 'playing.'
"You know? She won't come anymore. Because the only reason I was ever with her was because she looks a lot like the girl I love." Inuyasha said.
Nazuna looked shocked. "You were with Kikyo because of that?"
Inuyasha nodded. "That makes me a bad person, huh?" he said shamefully.
Nazuna shook her head. "No! No! No! That just makes you human."
"But I'm a demon."
"Nuh uh. Your half, like me, silly. Maybe you were already in love with this girl. That's why you were with Kikyo. You just needed to see it yourself that she isn't a gold digger. Now you know. It doesn't make you a bad person cause that's normal to feel. You are half human, so your emotions take control once in a while," she said.
Inuyasha stared at her in disbelieve. 'This is a kid! She's like four and a half years old!'
"Do you know if she loves you?" Nazuna asked.
Inuyasha shook his head. "I'm not sure. She might like me a little but I'm not sure if she loves me."
Nazuna nodded and patted her uncle on the stomach, "Well good luck," she sighed as she got off the bed and walked to the door.
Inuyasha's eyes followed her. Then he noticed she stopped and turn back to him.
"Yes, Nazu?"
Nazuna looked down on her shoes. "Can we have a sleep over like we used to?"
Inuyasha smiled and nodded. "I'll buy the junk food later, and you bring the sodas, okay?"
Nazuna squealed. "Can we watch a scary movie?"
"You won't get scared?"
"As a I recall last time, you were screaming like a little girl when we watched the 'Ring,' " she snickered.
Inuyasha threw a pillow at her but she ran to the door.
Nazuna was about to leave, until she said something. . .
"Make sure you tell her fast cause I want little cousins!" And she left.
Inuyasha swore he felt his mind shut down for a while but recovered.
'I'll get her.'
Kagome wiped her tears away when she heard a knock on the door.
"Can I get some sleep," she said weakly.
The door opened and Souta came in. He sighed.
"You know you should really learn how to lock you door when you want noone in her when you're crying?"
"I'm not crying," Kagome sniffled.
"Oh! Yes! I forgot. You were sleeping," Souta said sarcastically.
He sat down on the bed and looked down on his sister. He sighed as he wiped a tear of her face.
"Talk to me, girlfriend," he said in a feminine voice.
Kagome chuckled. "You're weird."
"Tell me something I don't know."
Kagome smiled. "It hurt," she said as she put a hand on her chest, indicating her heart broken.
"Inuyasha, right?"
Kagome slightly winced at the name. "More like him and Kikyo?"
"Ah, yes, Kinky-ho," Souta said as he rubbed his chin. He looked back at his sister, "what happened?"
Kagome sighed. "Please, promise me that you would not tell anyone and let me do it on my own?" she pleaded him.
Souta noticed in her voice that she was truly hurt. He sighed and raised his hand in the air, "Cross my heart hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, burn my hair, and cut my nails, there I've said it so please don't cry." (AN: That's what my cousin tells me when we make a promise.)
Kagome chuckled a little. "Well. . ."
After telling him everything, Souta listen patiently. Kagome even told him about the part of the beach to what Kikyo said.
"That bastard! I'll kill him!" Souta yelled as his sister finished telling him everything.
He ran into her closet and started to looked for something.
"Souta?" Kagome said as she sat up and wondered what the hell her brother was doing.
Souta came out of the closet with a baseball bat. He hold it in one hand and lightly hit his other hand with it. He was beyond pissed. He cares for his sister, so much.
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo where are you? I'm gonna hit you with the bat, now. Something. Something. Something. And Scooby-Doo if you come through, you're going to have yourself a Scooby Smack!" he yelled as he swung the bat in the air. "That's a fact!" (AN: I hope you all know that theme song of Scooby-Doo.)
Kagome would of laughed but would Inuyasha be worth wasting time to beat up? When she could just move on and find something better?
"Souta!" she yelled to get her brother's attention, before he destroys something.
"What?" he growled. He was thinking of some ways to torture Inuyasha and Kinky-ho.
"You promised," she finally said.
Souta put the bat down. He sighed. His sister said she'll take care of it, so he's going to trust her on this one. But it scares him. She has never been through something like this before.
"Do you. . .?"he said as he walked back to the bed and sat down.
"Do I what?"
"Well you know."
Kagome got the idea where he was heading at. "You mean love him?"
Souta, who was looking at his shoes, looked up at his sister. "Yeah, that."
"More than life," she said as tears came down her cheeks.
Souta, without hesitation, pulled her in a tight hug. He kissed the crown of her head, as she sobbed. "God, Kagome. I would never forgive him for making you cry," he pulled back and wiped the other tears. He also noticed his shirt wet but he didn't care. "He doesn't deserve your tears. Noone does," his voice was gentle and soft. "He doesn't even deserve your love."
Kagome hugged him again. She has never seen er brother so loving like this before.
"I love you, Souta," she whispered.
Souta smiled and kissed her head again. "I love you, too, sis. Now come on and we'll go watch a movie. I heard 'Lady In The Water' is pretty good. Just you and me," he said as he stood up and straighten his clothes.
Kagome nodded. "Isn't that the movie with those monsters that hide in the grass and are furry and come out at night?"
Souta nodded. "Although, I don't think they should exaggerate. Furry things that hide in the grass and wait till night to come out, sounds like it's rats."
Kagome giggled.
Souta walked tot he door and gave his sister one final question, "What are you going to do when he's around?"
Kagome sighed. "I still don't know."
"I'll be with you when you need me."
"I know," Kagome smiled.
"Be ready in five minutes. I still have to jack the keys from moms purse to have the car since your lazy ass doesn't have one. And no way in hell I'm riding the bus," he said as he left.
Now Kagome was alone. In her room. By herself. Like before.
'I live without him before, I could do it again,' she thought as she got out of bed.
'I hope.'
Hey! Muchos thank you for the reviews! You know? A lot of them. . .well mostly all of them said Kikyo should burn in hell or die. Aren't you guys very passionate to kill her or run her over. But she will not die in my story or so I think. Still not sure if she will or not.
Yeah, I know she's a bitch. She will stop at nothing. But she will stop at something, pretty soon.
So stay tuned for the next chapter! Hope you enjoy this one, cause the next one is with Inuyasha and Kagome when they confront each other.
And yes, I know it was kind of fast with the trip at Hawaii, but work with me here.
Tootles!
