A/N: This is not a new chapter, I repeat, this is NOT a new chapter. I've been editing (just fixing grammar and spelling mistakes here and there. Story is EXACTLY the same) my whole story and accidently deleted this chapter so I'm putting it up again with the revisions.
Chapter 6: The Unbreakable
There's this famous Aesop fable about a fox and a crow. One day, a fox had stumbled across a crow that flew off with a piece of cheese in its beak and had settled on a branch of a tree. The fox who was very cunning and hungry for some cheese devised a plan to cheat the crow out of its cheesy snack. "Good-day, Mistress Crow," the fox cried as he walked up to the foot of the tree. "Well, don't you look mighty fine today. Those feathers of yours are certainly doing you justice might I add. And those eyes! Why, I hear all the ravens go ga-ga over you each time I pass the farmer's fields. Why, I bet you've got the best voice of all the birds too! I bet even Simon Crowal would be speechless by your musical talent. Let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds." The Crow who was blushing up a storm by now, lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by the sly Fox. "Thanks sucka!" said the fox as he snickered at the sadden crow while he munched on his cheese…
…well, the fable goes something like that.
Moral of the story is 'do not trust flatters'.
Inuyasha's mind raced with different scenarios, each ending with a broken hearted Kagome. As he continued to tease her finger with his playful tongue, Kagome's blush brought a bit of colour to her ivory pale cheeks. The more she struggled to pull her finger out of his hot mouth, the more Inuyasha craved for the heat her body was producing between them. Not only did he intend to shatter the sick girl's heart but he planned to have some fun along the way.
Kagome's heart was beating so fast that it hurt for her to inhale. She had never felt anything so piping hot than their interlaced body heat which they emitted into the night air. His saliva burned the outer skin of her delicate finger. She was so transfixed on the sound of her own heart ringing in her ears that she almost didn't notice the look in Inuyasha's eyes. It was so demonic that it sent several shivers down her spine. His amber orbs shown so bright with wicked delight that she could've swore his eyes had taken the form of dancing flames.
Inuyasha finally released her finger with a smirk upon his face. He had figured it out. He had developed the perfect scheme to crush his prey in the palm of his hand. Kagome stared at him with questionable eyes as a small chuckle seeped through his lips. Introducing Inuyasha's Five Step Guide to Breaking a Teenage Heart. Feeling her heartbeat still hammering against his upper chest, Inuyasha was delighted to know that step one was already in progress.
Step 1: Flatter her heart.
But what the sly Inuyasha failed to account for was that Kagome was more than just your clueless crow. In this fable, the crow kept her cheese and taught the cunning fox a thing or two!
…
"Inuyasha?"
Her calling his name really did make his whole body quiver. Whether it was out of lust or disgust he still wasn't sure.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered again.
They were still in each others arms on the cold playground floor. Inuyasha's eyes wavered for a second as he scanned her eyes for her intentions. When attempting to break a teenage heart, it is recommended that you try to read your victim's every move. But all Inuyasha could see were her endless blue eyes which he had momentarily drowned in. It was the sound of her soft voice that pulled him back to shore. He then gently lifted his hand towards her cheek and stoked it with the side of his thumb. He stroked it several times, back and forth, as if confirming that a blush had really stained her ghostly figure's pale skin. Kagome's eyes widen as his sudden actions sent her into a frozen state. He let out his second chuckle of the night and let his arm fall to his side. He then quickly ran his hand through his sliver locks and stood up. He inwardly whimpered as the warmth of her body was yanked away from his own. His upward position caused his left knee to pulse with pain but he managed to remain standing. He was on a mission and he wasn't going to let his fucked up knee stand in his way.
With his body heat quickly fading from her skin, Kagome still remained frozen on the ground. After she had regained some composure she angled her head to stare at him from below.
"Keh, who am I kidding. Look, if you ain't gunna check in with the hospital you should probably run home like a good little girl. Little girls like you shouldn't get wrapped up with guys like me, remember…unless…" Inuyasha said as he seductively emphasized the last word of his statement.
Kagome, who had never been flirted with (unless you count Mr. Takada, the senior patient in the fracture clinic), had no idea what to do in this situation. So she handled this act of teenage activity the only way she knew how which was to be herself.
"You're probably right. I mean, what was I thinking? Thanks for dropping me off here but I think I'll head home…" Kagome responded as she heaved her body off the playground floor. She knew she was already in some deep trouble for not returning to the hospital sooner but she couldn't let Inuyasha know that the hospital was her home, at least not yet.
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had totally just given her an 'invitation' and she had swatted it like a fly. Could this girl really be so inexperienced that she couldn't take a hint? Inuyasha watched in bewilderment as Kagome began to make her way out of the hospital park. He should have thought as much. How could someone of his caliber win over some freak? You'd think it be easy to catch pray that was inferior to you but no such luck. Just when Inuyasha had lost all hope, he was surprised when he saw Kagome's figure stand still a few centimeters away.
"…unless…" Kagome said with a playful raised eyebrow as she whipped her head over her shoulder. The motion caused the night's chilling breeze to hit Inuyasha with the scent of her luscious hair. Yup, she would definitely handle this situation as her playful, curious, and risk taking self.
'What a tricky little bitch!' he thought as his devilish eyes returned, ecstatic that his plan was still in running gear.
"Unless you would like to escort me on a little walk?" Inuyasha replied as he scanned her school uniform figure up and down. "But seeing as you're in such a weak condition, I understand if you decline my offer."
"I'm not the one with the knee injury, remember?" Kagome stated as her gaze shifted from his amber eyes to his knee.
In response, Inuyasha crouched on all fours on the ground. Kagome stared in confusion as his stance resembled that of a tiger ready to pounce on its prey. Before she knew what hit her, Inuyasha sprinted in her direction and landed in a squatted position underneath her kilt. Much to her protest, Inuyasha lifted Kagome upon his shoulders. Grabbing on to his neck for support, Kagome watched as he squatted up and down with her still on his back. After a few suicide exercises and breathless laughs, he let her slide down from his shoulders like a pole. The friction she made against his own back made Inuyasha flinch.
"You were saying?" Inuyasha said with a raised eyebrow once her feet had touched the ground.
"Let's go." Kagome said as she playfully rolled her eyes. She then grabbed on to his hand and led him out of the park.
--
She was just like the rest of them. She acted innocent enough but he knew her type all too well. It was shaping up to be the same situation he was in not to long ago. He slightly let a growl slip through his teeth but then held it back. He wouldn't tolerate being played like a fiddle twice…
7 years ago.
"Ring around the rosy…" a group of small girls chimed from the north side of the school playground.
It was a bustling afternoon as the voices of small children filled the damp air. Recess time usually was the culprit of such excitement among the students of Ouran elementary. The small playground area encased boys playing soccer who dived into grass stains, hula hooping girls, wild gossip, hide and seek, flying basketballs, you name it!
Speaking about gossip…
"Did you hear about that little shit?" One young boy asked another in a squeaky tone.
"Yeah, I heard his dad fell asleep and never woke up again!" The small boy replied to his friend.
"Serves him right! Ms. Ikezawa always said that bad things happen to kids who bully others and don't eat their vegetables."
Both boys then automatically turned their attention to a silver haired boy that sat alone against the fence of the schoolyard. The boy sat with his knees wrapped around his arms as the soft breeze blew his bangs upon his face.
"I bet he's not so tough now." The boy with the squeaky voice said with a wide smirk to his friend.
At that moment, another soft breeze blew the sliver haired boy's bangs slightly off his face to reveal his sinister amber eyes that shot daggers at the boys who were gossiping about him just a few yards away.
"A pocket full of posies…" the girls giggled again.
"AHHHH!! He's gunna kill us! Ms. Ikezawa!!" both boys screamed in unison. In mere seconds, the boys bolted back into the safety of the school.
It was usually at this point that Inuyasha would have himself a good laugh at such bumbling idiots but there was nothing to laugh about today. This had been going on all afternoon. From his little secluded area against the fence he could see all his pathetic classmates whisper about him as if he were some coven secret. He got stares from several students. Some of those glares expressed sympathy while others conveyed pure enjoyment but he wanted none of it. They were all just so pathetic. The sight of the many children laughing and playing with no care in the world made him sick and left an unpleasant taste in his mouth. Gossip; it was all such a waste of time. Why fool around when you could work on getting stronger. He knew they all stared at him for the same reason. It had been a few weeks since his father had actually died but it had only been announced to the school a few days ago. The attention he received for such a shameful event such as the death of his father made his blood boil. If only he could get rid of them all.
"Ashes, ashes…"
How dare they talk about him like they knew what he was all about. A slight growl escaped from the depths of the small boy. He clenched his knees closer to his chest to suppress the hatred rising inside of him. They were all so annoying. Like little followers of an ant colony. Running around in their little hill thinking that this is all there is to it in life. How he would love to kick them outside of this sheltered reality of there's and be the one to step on them like the ants they were. None of them knew who he was yet they all whispered his name in each others ears. None of them knew him. None of them understood him. None of them accept her.
"We all fall down!"
BOOM
The crack of thunder sent the group of girls screaming as they sang the last bit of their rhyme. Drop by drop, the rain began to wash over the children in the schoolyard. And much to Inuyasha's enjoyment, one by one they disappeared into the doors of the school. The little sprinkling of rain began to fall into a heavy shower. Inuyasha remained in the same position against his fence as he sank his chin deeper in his knees. The rain washed over him as he felt a wave of numbness engulf his small body. It was better this way. No people, no voices just silence and peace. Although the rain pounding against his head brought him some comfort, he couldn't help but feel something was missing from his momentary bliss.
"INUYASHA!!" a voice screamed.
Broken away from his frozen state, Inuyasha automatically lifted his chin from his knees to search for the voice who had summoned him.
SLAP
It all happened so quickly. Before he could make out what had just happened, drops of hot rain fell across his stricken cheek.
"Kikyo?" Inuyasha said in bewilderment as if not believing his only friend was standing above him.
"Y-you were just gunna leave l-like that?! You were just gunna le-leave me like that?!" the little girl struggled to say between sobs.
Inuyasha could never understand the feeling of completeness he felt whenever this bawling girl was in his presence. Knowing exactly what she was talking about the boy could only sigh as he began to explain.
"They said I had no choice. They said I'm only ten and that I'm not legally old enough to live on my own, so there making me move in with my uncle." Inuyasha replied.
Inuyasha rubbed his rosy cheek to relieve some of the pain as he continued to explain why he had to leave the city. He watched as the young Kikyo tried her best to suppress her tears under the camouflage of the cool rain. He watched as she closed her eyes shut and clenched her hands into fists as she tried to lessen her sobs. At that moment, Inuyasha's amber eyes burned with so much concern for the small girl. Every tear made it harder for him to breath. The site of her like this ripped through his body making him feel sore inside. This was the only person who knew who Inuyasha Taisho was. It was with that reason that he promised he wouldn't let anything hurt her yet here he was making her cry like an unfed baby.
Inuyasha finally stood up from his sitting position to stand in front of his best friend. He then reached inside his pocket to pull out a tiny piece of cloth.
"Stop cryin' would ya! You look almost as pathetic as the girls in this school." Inuyasha said in a caring tone as he threw the cloth softly upon her face.
Kikyo quickly wiped the tears from her face embarrassed that he had caught her crying through the rain. She then threw the hanky back in his face and looked stubbornly to the side.
"Don't get me wrong. I wasn't crying for you. I was crying because I care. And because I thought you would leave without returning my Spice Girls CD."
Inuyasha could only roll his eyes with a smirk. He was glad that she was back to her old Kikyo self.
Kikyo then turned her head to face him. Even though she was soaking to the bone she was still incredibly pretty. Her long ebony hair stuck to the sides of her fair skin which were covered in goose bumps. Her wet bangs tried to conceal her eyes but her big glowing hazel orbs shown through. As they continued to aimlessly stare into each others eyes, Inuyasha was surprised to see that hers were once again covered in a thin layer of gloss.
"So is this the last time I'll ever see you?" she choked.
He watched as her fragile body shivered in the rain as her eyes began to leak again with hot tears.
His heart began to pang again. He couldn't explain why he felt the urge to make her smile at any means possible but he knew he had too. He continued to stare at his best friend with affectionate eyes. Unaware to Inuyasha himself, the unbreakable friendship he shared with the girl that stood before him would soon amount to so much more. As his heart continued to swell, something unfamiliar infused itself into his whole being. And whether he was aware of it or not, Inuyasha had fallen in love.
Kikyo slightly blushed as Inuyasha just stare at her with a small grin.
He then took a step toward her and wrapped his arms around her slender shoulders.
He then dug his face into the nape of her neck and hugged her a little tighter. Kikyo then heard a small muffle come from her neck. She blinked a couple of times through her tears as she strained to hear his voice over the pitter-patter of the rain.
"Stop crying. You look like an idiot." he breathed.
Kikyo couldn't help but smile as she hugged her best friend back. This was defiantly not the last she would see of him.
--
The ominous moon slept in the depths of the dark rich clouds which prevented the earth to bask in its shimmering moonlight. Inuyasha and Kagome continued to stroll in the darkness in silence. It had been thirty minutes or so since their departure from the hospital park grounds. They walked aimlessly in a small forest, neither of them not sure where they were headed.
Kagome's pace began to slow down as the night grew old. She could feel her body reacting to the cancer that infected it. She knew that she was in no condition for a midnight stroll but her heart told her otherwise. Never had she been able to just venture outside the walls of the hospital to explore the world around her. To hear small rodents dance around the foliage she maneuvered in and to breath in what a September night smells like, was better than any gift she had ever received. And to be on a walk with him. The very person who once long ago taught her that life is what you make of it. It was him that kept her eyes lids from closing shut. She hardly knew him yet she felt they were exactly alike. She really wanted to get to know her savior and thank him before her clock stopped ticking. To think that a girl who knew nothing about high school life could pull off the perfect 'sneaking out' soiree with a boy.
Inuyasha's mind raced as he tried to come up with the perfect plan of attack to set step two into motion.
Step 2: Make her sweat.
Inuyasha couldn't help but watch her from the corner of his eye. Her skin had a freakish glow under the dim light of the night's sky. She seemed to struggle to keep pace with him as they walked deeper into the forest. Her eyes were still big and glossy and bluer than ever which sparked his heart from time to time. This was stupid. There was not even the slightest possibility that he was attracted to…to that. She just happened to be a girl and the night air made him kind of horny. Still, he admitted that she was posing as a distraction from his diabolic sick thoughts. As he continued to regain focus in his mind, he felt something scrawny grab his hand from behind.
"Where are you off to in such a hurry? Let's take a break." her voice cooed in his ear.
Inuyasha couldn't help but shiver. Whether it was because her actions were almost ghost like or that her velvet whisper in his ear just turned him on, he wasn't entirely sure. He wasn't entirely sure of anything these days.
Inuyasha turned around to already see Kagome sitting on the slightly damp grass. She seemed to be panting a bit as she stretched her legs in front of her. This motion caused her kilt to ride up against her thighs, making her legs look incredibly long. Like that, a little light bulb went off inside of Inuyasha's head.
'This could possibly work in my favor.' He thought as he took a seat beside her.
"Something on your mind? You've been awfully quiet." Kagome questioned when he was finally seated on the grass.
If only she knew.
"Keh, you're not one to talk. You weren't exactly Ms. Chatterbox on the walk."
"That's because I had something on my mind." she replied with a tiny grin.
Inuyasha only huffed.
'She really is a tricky one.' Inuyasha concluded in his thoughts as his heartbeat went up a notch.
As she twirled blades of grass around her finger, Inuyasha quickly went back on task.
"Let's play a game."
Kagome stared at him with a bit of confusion in her eyes. Inuyasha made a toothy grin.
"I'm really not the gamer type. What did you have in mind?" she replied.
"Truth or Dare."
Kagome really didn't like the sound of that one.
Inuyasha chuckled.
"You look a little scared? Can't you handle it princess?" Inuyasha said with a raised eyebrow.
Kagome really detested anyone who called her princess. It was defiantly not the right adjective to describe her. Plus, she never understood why it was the princess who was always the helpless girl waiting to be saved. She'd rather rescue herself thank you very much.
"Oh, I can handle it alright! Let the best princess win!" she retorted with a bit of edge in her voice.
Inuyasha was skeptical at first but was relieved when she took the bait. This was going to be fun.
"Ladies first." He told her. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Soft! You're just a little pansy aren't you? Sure you don't wanna change your mind?"
Inuyasha secretly tried to persuade her to choose dare. If he was going to have any fun watching her sweat he needed her to nibble on the bait a little more.
"Just ask your question."
Well, he had other ways to make her squirm.
"Are you a virgin?" he asked.
Kagome instinctively turn a light scarlet as the question took her off guard.
"Wouldn't you like to know." She replied. She wasn't too embarrassed to not answer his question with her undeniable spunk.
"Is that a yes?" he teased her.
"If you already know the answer, stop asking me." She said a bit redder than before. She couldn't even look him in the face at this point.
Inuyasha darkly laughed as she turned her head away from him. Things were going according to plan.
"Truth or dare?" Kagome finally asked as she recovered.
"Do you even have to ask? Dare."
Kagome had plans of her own. She was going to get to know Inuyasha better whether he liked it or not but it didn't help if all he chose was dare.
"I dare you to tell me your biggest fear."
"What the fuck? That's not a dare! You're twisting things around to make me do truth!" Inuyasha accused her aggravated.
"What, can't you handle it princess?" Kagome replied with a smirk.
She got him there.
Inuyasha sighed. He had to play along or he wouldn't be able to get on with his plan. He had to think of what to say. Should he really just tell her the truth? He couldn't think of a convincing enough lie and sighed in frustration as he began to answer her 'dare'.
"Losing."
"What?" Kagome asked startled that he actually answered.
"I'm afraid of losing to anyone. I refuse to lose to anyone. To lose is to be too weak to defeat the strong and that's why I can't lose."
Kagome only stared in awe as he answered. This is what the infamous Inuyasha feared.
"But sometimes losing is the very thing that makes someone stronger. Strength is not always measured in how many people you defeat but how many losses you can overcome."
Inuyasha could only blink at her blankly as she spoke. Why was she speaking to him like she even had a clue of what strength was? Here was a girl who could barely keep up on a walk let alone should she be lecturing him on the 'true' meaning of strength. Her cutesy act was wearing off thin and he was now royally pissed. He had to bite his tongue from lashing out on her. He would just have to let out his rage in other ways. He wasn't going to let her get the best of him. He hated to lose and that was the truth.
"Truth or dare." he seethed through his teeth.
Kagome automatically sensed the new found hostility in his voice but chose to ignore it. She was just too happy that Inuyasha was capable of telling her something that didn't involve an insult. One reward deserved another.
"Dare." She replied.
No more games. Inuyasha mentally grinned through his rage. He would seize the opportunity he had been waiting for all night and commence step two. And with the fire that swelled inside him at the moment, he was definitely not going to hold back.
"Close your eyes until I tell you to open them." He told her.
Kagome was skeptical about his request and it showed on her face.
"What kind of dare is close…"
But before she could finish her sentence, Inuyasha covered her face with one of his big hands.
"If you're backing out, then I guess I win otherwise close your eyes."
'…and your mouth.' He mentally stated after his comment.
Fortunately for Inuyasha, Kagome was the competitive type so she slowly closed her lids shut behind his hands. Inuyasha then removed his hands from her face. Staring back at him was sleeping beauty herself. Her long ebony hair danced in the cool breeze in contrast with her pale skin. She sat on her knees with her hands in her lap as Inuyasha watched her chest expand and then detract from her breathing. She waited peacefully with her eyes closed for the dare to proceed.
Inuyasha's attention was then pulled to the nape of her neck. The wind revealed more of the raw piece of flesh as it blew her hair over her shoulder. He continued to look venomously at her neck as he came into closer contact with Kagome. Kagome's hand twitched when she felt something warm graze its side. Inuyasha's eyes stared hungrily at her neck as if he were a vampire staring at his prey. His face held a stony expression as he brushed away some of her stray hairs off her neck. He felt Kagome's heartbeat climb as he inched closer to his target. Inuyasha leaned forward to caress the side of her neck with his nose. Her scent burned the tip of his nose as he deeply inhaled. He then shut his eyes and hungrily sucked at the nape of her neck. Kagome let out a smothered gasp as the action sent shivers throughout her frail body. Inuyasha continued to devour the side of her neck. With every suck at her flesh he let out his frustrations at her. His hot tongue ran along her skin making sure it made contact with every contour of her neck. Kagome couldn't help but tilt her head to the side to allow him to gather more range with his tongue. Inuyasha quickly took this invitation to his advantage. He slowly pushed her on her back and pinned her shoulders down. He made sure she wouldn't be able to move until he was completely satisfied. He lightly tugged at her neck with his teeth feeling the need to devour her. He then licked over his bite marks which burned her skin. Kagome let out a small moan as his actions began to quicken furiously. He let his anger take over as he greedily continued to suck at her flesh. With his body over top of hers, he made sure not to put his full weight on her but tried to grind his body as close to her body as possible. The sound of his lips smacking against her neck made him hungry for more. When he was just about satisfied, he continuously began to suck on his favourite part on her neck. He then finally released his lips off her skin and stared at his work which quickly turned a bright red. He then gently blew over the hot hickey that developed on her neck. Kagome's body was a wreck as it shuddered in reaction to his breath hitting her naked skin. The sound of them panting was the only noise that filled the night air. Inuyasha then inched his mouth to her ear.
"Open."
Kagome slowly opened her eyes. Her glossy blue orbs were in utter shock. She stared deeply into Inuyasha's golden orbs trying to find out what that was all about. His eyes just danced demonically in their sockets. She could tell simply by the look in his eyes that he was up to no good. Her eyes in return seemed to stare back in disappointment. She still had a lot to learn about Inuyasha.
"I think I should go." Kagome said breaking the silence.
Kagome then slid from underneath him still panting. Inuyasha sat in an upward position looking a little dazed. He could definitely check step two off his list but something wasn't right. He still craved her. Her scent still burned his nose.
'Damn it!' his thoughts screamed.
Why did he enjoy that? It wasn't supposed to make him feel that good. He should just chuck this girl out of his life now before it got worst but, god did he absolutely hate to lose.
Kagome then got up and dusted the dirt off her plaid kilt. She then began to find her way out of the forest.
It was the sound of her footsteps that shook Inuyasha back into reality.
"Wait! Where are you going? So you're just gunna wooss out on me, just like that, because you can't take one little dare?" he called out to her.
"Inuyasha, it's not like that…" Kagome began to explain exasperated.
"No, I think it's exactly like that! I don't understand you freakin' people! Can't any of you grow some fuckin' balls? Do me a favor and next time, don't go around acting like some hot shot and waste other people's time!" Inuyasha spat as he got up to catch up with her.
At that moment the distance sound of a train filled the night air. Anyone could put on a brave face but being brave was more than just performing a trivial dare. Kagome didn't know how to get through to him but knew she still had to try. Without answering his comment she began to walk deeper into the forest.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going??" Inuyasha yelled as he quickly followed her.
They walked in the darkness for a few minutes. The moon finally shook the clouds away and shown dead center in a starless sky. The sound of a train tooting its horn became louder in the silence of the night. Inuyasha and Kagome finally stumbled upon some train tracks. Inuyasha, who was confused on why he had followed her to the middle of no where, broke their silence.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Where are we?" He looked around unaware of his surroundings.
Kagome then took a deep breath and finally looked at Inuyasha directly in the face. He had noticed the effort she put in trying to avert his gaze since the 'truth or dare' incident as they walked, so this came as a surprise.
"I'm going to prove to you that I'm not as pussy as you think I am!" She spoke with clear determination embedded in her voice.
Inuyasha blinked a couple times in shock. It was the first time Inuyasha heard anything vulgar come out of her mouth.
Kagome sighed. She hated using such slang but if she was going to get through to him she had to speak his language.
Kagome then walked towards the huge train tracks. She looked both ways on either sides of the track and then stepped inside them. The tooting of a train was ringing in both their ears as they saw a train racing towards them in the distance.
"What do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha said causally.
"I'm not going to move out of the train's way until you realize that I do have some effin' balls!" Kagome replied.
"No need to sweetheart! I knew you owned a pair from the start." Inuyasha said with a smirk.
Kagome ignored his insult as she positioned herself to face the train that was barreling towards her at top speed. The train tooted its horn once more as it came closer.
"Don't expect me to save you when you realize that this little stunt has no effect on me." Inuyasha said in a loud voice as the sound of train became louder.
Kagome just stared at the train in front of her.
Inuyasha could feel the ground underneath his shoes vibrate as the train continued to race down the tracks. Inuyasha folded his arms together as he stared at Kagome's profile from the tracks.
"This is so stupid!" He yelled with a bit of panic. She still didn't reply. He then began to impatiently tap his foot on the dusty ground.
The lights of the freight train suddenly hit them. The train was getting so close that Inuyasha could almost feel the heat emitting from its chimney. The wind the train created caused Kagome's kilt to flutter furiously in the air but she still stood in a firm position staring down the train.
Inuyasha's heart began to race when the train was just a few meters away.
"What the hell are you trying to prove? You don't need to stand on the tracks to know that a train can crush you!" Inuyasha continued to yell in panic over the sound of wheels hitting steal.
Kagome closed her eyes as she felt the sudden speed of the train race towards her. She then spread her arms wide open as if to welcome the train with a bear hug.
"Okay, I get it! You're not a wooss and you have pretty hefty balls so get off the tracks stupid!" he cried.
The train was zeroing in on target. It was only a matter of minutes now before Inuyasha would witness Kagome's delicate body smashed all over the hood of a train.
Inuyasha's heart rang in his ears as he clenched his fists. He watched as Kagome's hair danced in the wind. The train tooted its horn once more as Inuyasha tightly shut his eyes.
"Idiot!"
Inuyasha shot his eyes open then bolted toward the direction of Kagome on the tracks. He then dove into her just as the train slid right past where she was standing. The two of them tumbled to the ground as Inuyasha violently rolled down a hill with Kagome in his arms. The sound of the train barreling past them still rung in their ears as they rolled down the hill. When they nearly stopped rolling at the foot of the hill, Inuyasha could hear a laugh fill the air. He opened his eyes to see Kagome laughing underneath his arms. Her mouth was wide open as she gasped for air through her fit of laugher. Inuyasha furiously let go of her small figure and slowly stood up. He rubbed his swore head as he stared at her still laughing on the grass.
"What the fuck is so funny?? If they wouldn't automatically assume that I pushed your ass into the train, you would be splatter all over some windshield!!" Inuyasha angrily yelled.
"Sorry, I've just never had so much fun before!" Kagome replied still laughing while holding her gut to suppress the pain.
"Fun? Fun!! It wouldn't be so fun if I didn't decide to safe your sorry ass!" Inuyasha retorted.
Kagome then tried her best to get up from the grassy field. She unsteadily made her way to Inuyasha with a goofy smile still plastered on her face.
"I knew you would save me Inuyasha. There was no doubt in my mind!"
"Are you trying to sell to me that you're some fuckin' psychic?" Inuyasha asked as he continued to rub at his sore head.
"No. What I'm saying is that I know a good man when I see one." Kagome replied in a daze as she drowsily poked him in the heart.
Inuyasha couldn't believe this girl. Did she really have so much faith in him as to risk her life? They've only known each other for a day and a half for crying out loud. But Inuyasha had to admit that she wasn't as pathetic as he first thought.
"You're fuckin' crazy! I might suffer from a concussion tonight thanks to your 'prediction'."
Kagome only walked closer towards him. She then stared at him straight in his eyes. Her blue orbs fought in contrast with his amber ones. She stood at her full height still a little unsteady on her feet before replying to his comment.
"Suck it up princess!"
And with that, she collapsed into his arms. Her disease finally caught up with her as she lay unconscious in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha let out a huge sigh as he hoisted her on to his back and began his way out of the forest. His mind raced with the day's events. From Kouga to tonight's little rendezvous, he felt a bit frustrated as he couldn't wrap his mind around this girl. She had him surprised at every turn. Although his plan was in full swing he couldn't help but feel that it was impossible to break something as solid as this innocent girl's heart.
They were tricky, they were innocent, and if you weren't careful they could eat you alive. Yup, he knew her type all to well. She was an Unbreakable. But Inuyasha was confident that he was still on top of his game. With first hand experience he knew the first rule any man should know when dealing with someone of this type.
Rule #1: The Unbreakable's can always be broken.

A/N: Well there you have it folks! Punch! is back in business after a four month hiatus! I usually have chapters up sooner but I had my first case of writer's block. I would just like to apologize for any grammar and/or spelling mistakes in advance. I tried my best to revise the chapter but I anxiously wanted to put it up. Some info on the actual fable used in the beginning of the chapter will be posted on my profile. And for any of you who are wanting to know the status of my fic, please refer to my profile as it will keep you updated even through future hiatuses (which I hope will not be the case!)
I wasn't too happy with this chapter but I think its growing on me. I had so many different ideas for this chapter so I apologize if it seems a bit all over the place. Inuyasha's history with Kikyo will be further explained in future chapters. Just as a little spoiler, look out for Naraku and some other Inuyasha characters to come in up coming chapters. Thanks to all the reviews as it really helps me move forward with the fic. Like always, feel free to mail me with any questions or concerns or even just to chat (I love making new friends D). Also keep an eye on future author's notes as I might put up a pic of a character from Punch! on deviantart. To check out my DA account, I will post it on my profile. I'm not really an artist, I just got a account to favorite pictures but I do got a few sketches posted up. If any of you possess a DA account don't hesitate to befriend me (I currently have no friends ( ) Whoa, that sounded really emo. lol Anyways I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Later Dayz.
PS. Hope everyone is having an AWESOME summer! Yay summer!! XD
