Chapter Five

"You'd like to know...About me?" The awestruck hanyou asked in amazement. Kagome nodded.

"Well," InuYasha hesitated before continuing.

"It's okay, you can trust me," the Princess stood and put a hand on his shoulder, looking into his eyes. He looked away, embarrassed. Kagome withdrew her hand, thinking, Maybe he just...doesn't like talking about himself. Or something.

"As I grew up, everyone laughed at me. They turned their backs on me, and I had no friends. All the boys and girls of my age was forbidden to talk to me, nevertheless play with me. My brother was the popular one. The beautiful one. The calm, gentle one. Everyone loved him."

"My mother was my comfort. She was a human, like you, Kagome. She was so beautiful. She had long black hair, with big brown eyes. You look a bit like her, Kagome. She used to hold me in her arms and whisper loving words in my ear. I fell asleep in her arms many times. She would always rock me like a baby. But that all stopped when I turned 12."

"My mother died the day I turned 12. My father was to be taking care of me, but he often gave his attention and devotion to my brother. I wasn't important. My brother was to be royalty. I was nothing. I would just be in the way."

"Then I left home. I felt so lonely. A month after I had left, I heard my father died. I felt so awful. It started to rain. I sat down wherever I was comfortable, and somehow fell asleep."

"Then your sister found me. I was her servant for so long. Then she went to train. She took me with her. Then I found out your mother, the Queen, wanted me to serve Kouga. So here I am."

There was a string of silence hanging over them, as Kagome looked into InuYasha's eyes, deep into them, trying to figure something out. Was he really heartfelt?

"You're hiding something." Kagome broke the string of silence with those sharp words, crisp and to the point. "What am I hiding?!" InuYasha jumped up to his feet in anger, "I never told this story to anyone! Not even to...Not even to your sister," InuYasha finished, sitting back down, shamefully looking away.

"You are hiding your emotions! InuYasha! Show me the pain you felt! Show me! Show me, show me, SHOW ME!" Kagome stood up in the moment of it all. "What? Show you? How?" InuYasha looked up at her questioningly, but his face still held scorn.

"Tell me, show me how you felt when everyone abandoned you. When you met Kikyo! Just show me...InuYasha, I want to know if you are simply a rock of no emotion, or a person. A person who feels things deeply, and takes them to the heart," Kagome's tone gentled itself, and she sat down as well.

"When everyone abandoned me? Told me I wasn't good enough? Simply walked away? I...I felt so...sickeningly sad. Depressed. And angry. Why did my brother get everything? I was left here, being left alone. With nobody. I was nothing! Why didn't I get some respect? Why, I wanted to...to..." InuYasha slapped Kagome to show his anger.

And everything surrounding them blurred out in his eyes.

Kagome stared at InuYasha, whose thoughts weren't too positive.

I SLAPPED THE FUTURE QUEEN! I SLAPPED THE FUTURE QUEEN! JUST KILL ME NOW! I'M GOING TO BE BEHEADED!

"Okay, I see. That is how angry you were. I understand. You were that angry," Kagome commented simply, rubbing her cheek with her palm. "That's it?" InuYasha questioned, relaxing. "Yes. Now...How did you feel with Kikyo?" Kagome asked, bracing herself.

And all of a sudden...Everything in her body...Melted.

InuYasha was kissing Kagome.

His lips were rough, yet soft to the very touch. Kagome, surprised and not sure of her feelings, didn't move. Instead...She closed her eyes, even dared to move her hands around his neck. He didn't pull away. He wrapped his muscular arms around the slim waist...

This brought back so many memories...So many great memories.

Then he realized who he had dared to lay his lips upon. He jumped back, and landed on her bed.

"No! I mustn't do this...To Kikyo's own sister," he murmured to himself, clearly in distress. He began to look around frantically, as if searching for a way to go back in time, desperately. He even began to bite his thumbnail.

"InuYasha, this will be our secret," Kagome said, acting calmer than she felt. Why, her heart was beating so loudly, so quickly, that it seemed to pound against the inside of her chest, trying to get out and scream its true thoughts.

"I won't tell anyone. And I know how much you felt for Kikyo...It was all in that," Kagome gulped, "kiss."

InuYasha avoided the woman's eyes. Guilt rushed into his heart...And...

He almost widened his eyes in shock after realization.

He, InuYasha, enjoyed the kiss.
