Now on to the story…
Inevitable
Chapter 4:
Inu-Chan and Blushing
It had been only a month since our little half-demon duo had met, and they'd been steadily growing closer. It was early in the morning and Kagome had just woken up…
"INU-CHAAAN!" she cried happily.
'Again with the pet names. Arg.'
' -sigh- You know you like her calling you that..'
'Gah! Who are you!'
'I'm that little voice in your head that you always seem to ignore.'
'Ok…and what the heck do you mean I don't mind it! It's annoying!'
'Awww, Inu-chan, you know that's a lie. You find it rather cuute…hehe'
'...no I don't …'
'What's with the hesitation then, eh?'
'…Feh'
'Feh…'
As Inuyasha's "conversation"ended, he slowly opened his eyes to see Kagome- their noses mere centimeters apart. This taking him by complete surprise, he yelped and nearly fell out of the tree branch he'd been sitting in. "What the hell are you doing Kagome!" he screamed as all the heat raised to his face.
She giggled and replied, "Nothing, silly! And you shouldn't say bad words…It's not nice."
"Feh."
"Feh," she mimicked.
Inuyasha, getting annoyed started to growl. This didn't stop her from giggling, it only quieted it a little.
"Shut up…" he muttered. She stopped giggling, but kept that bright smile on her face. He found that smile also…cute. 'hehe…' It made her look adorable…actually even more so. The way her tiny baby fangs would poke out over her bottom row. He mentally kicked himself when felt a warm, fuzzy feeling surging through him and a blush finding its way to his face again.
"Hey Inu-chan, are you ok? You're turning all pink and stuff."
Embarrassed, he quickly looked away from her as an even darker shade of red shone profusely on his cheeks. "F-feh. M-must be you're…uh…imagination or something."
"No, it's not. See? You're getting even pinker… Now red…"she paused. "Why do you smell embarrassed? What's there to be nervous about?" she questioned innocently.
"Gah! I'm not embarrassed! It's just hot…"
"Nuh-uh," she shot back. "…Ohhh…I get it now."
'Oh kami. She can't possibly know that I was thinking about her, can she? Oh kami-sama, I hope not…' Inuyasha thought nervously. "W-Whaddya mean you get it now?"
"I get why your embarrassed!"
"O-oh?" 'Oh crap…"
"You're embarrassed because…You wet your pants!" she ended with a fit of giggles. "That's icky, Inu-chan!"
"WHAT THE HELL!" he yelled confused and angry. "NO I DIDN'T, YOU BAKA!"
"You're right. I would've smelt it."
'Well now that that's over…'
"Sooo…if that's not it…Why are you so embarrassed?"
'Or not. Crap.' Inuyasha concluded. "Will you just shut up and stop asking me all these questions, wench? Come on, let's go. I'm hungry." With that, he and Kagome hopped out of the branch and onto the forest below.
They'd been walking for about 15 minutes, and Inuyasha was starting to get annoyed. Kagome was usually happy and liked to talk –albeit sometimes too much-, but she hadn't said a word since he'd…since he'd told her to shut up. He'd even called her a wench. He had never called her that. He'd called her a baka and a stupid girl –though not really meaning it-, but had never really gone that far. He inwardly winced at the memory. Though annoyance still lingered, he actually felt…somewhat guilty. He took a glance at her and guilt pried at his heart even more. She wasn't smiling her bright smile anymore. He wanted to kick himself for being the one to take it away. Maybe he could… apologize….
In truth, Kagome wasn't upset. She was in fact, just doing what Inuyasha had asked. She wanted to see what he would do if she'd actually listen for once. She snuck a peek over at him and saw that his ears were drooping. Hers did the same at the sight, for seeing him sad, made her sad as well. Listening to him made him sad? How is that? 'I wonder what's wrong with him,' she pondered sadly, still keeping quiet at his demand. 'What's wrong, Inu-chan?'
When Inuyasha looked over at her again, he felt his heart wrench. Her ears had drooped over and she was sighing sadly. If that wasn't enough, the smell of her sadness was clogging his nose, making it almost hard to breathe. Not being able to take it anymore, he stopped walking. "Kagome?"
Hearing Inuyasha stop and call her name, she stopped as well and turned to face him. She cocked her head over in a quizzical manner. 'What's going on?' she wondered.
"I just wanted to say that…that I'm…I-….Well, uh…I'm…" he struggled to say.
Head still cocked, she raised an eyebrow as if to say "What?"
"…sorry," he whispered. Though, it'd only been a whisper, Kagome's sensitive ears picked it up perfectly. SORRY! THE great Inuyasha had apologized! 'Did he fall out of the tree last night and hit his head? Oh no/ Wait…what's he even sorry for?' Confused, she just stared at him longer, not saying a word.
Okay….Why was she just staring at him? He'd just apologized to her! Was it that astonishing that he had said sorry! 'Yes.' That annoying voice was back again. It was the only voice to be heard, because Kagome was still staring at him! The silence bugging him to no end, he finally snapped. "WHAT! Why are you just staring at me after I apologized! Aren't you going to say something!"
"…"
"Ugh! I don't get you! First you're all happy, then you get sad, and now you won't stop staring at me! I'm sorry I called you a wench ok! Now why won't you say something!"
" 'Cuz you told me to be quiet and I listened." she replied sweetly. Inuyasha just stood there, mouth agape in unbelief. 'That's why she was quiet! I apologized for nothing?' "So, if that's why you were quiet, why did I detect sadness in your scent?"
"I was sad because you were sad, Inu-chan. Why were you sad?"
"Feh. I ain't sad." He responded quickly as yet another blush stained his cheeks.
"Oh, yes you were."
"I was not! And stop calling me Inu-chan. It makes me sound like a little kid."
'I didn't mean for it to sound that way…even if you are a kid… Why can't I call you Inu-chan any more?' Kagome thought with a sniffle. The smell of salt invaded Inuyasha's nose and he knew that she was about to cry. He hated to see Kagome cry. It always made his heart want to cave in. Knowing that he was the cause of her tears, made him feel even worse.
"Kagome, don't cry! I take it back. You can call me 'Inu-chan'. Just please don't cry!" he cried out in a hurried effort to keep her from crying. It seemed to work because the smell of salt that lurked through the air disappeared almost instantly.
"Really?" she asked as another one of her beautiful smiles managed to dazzle him. He felt a slight tinge of heat on his face yet again. 'Why has she been able to make me blush so much lately!' he asked himself. 'Well…' 'Shut up.'
"Yeah, really," he said, trying to sound tough again. "Now let's go. We're almost to the river and I'm still hungry!"
As he turned to leave, he was suddenly bombarded with a wondrous scent of vanilla and cherry blossoms. He then felt something smooth and soft on his cheek. It was Kagome. She was…kissing…him. She…kissed him… 'Kagome…kiss…' was all that his muddled brain could make out. True, it was more of a peck, and it had only been on the cheek… but it was still a kiss from Kagome. As she pulled away, he was still in a daze.
"Thanks Inu-chan." She smiled prettily and turned to lead the way to the river.
End Chappie
Well, ok. I attempted to put some fluff in there. They're little kids so I couldn't get too far with it. DUH. (like I'd write a lemon anyway –shudder-) Awww…Kaggy kissed Inu-chan! Yayness! I'm pretty sure that the rest of the gang won't show up till later. No, Kagome and Inuyasha aren't gonna suddenly fall madly in love. LOL. Have you noticed that Inuyasha has been hungry throughout this entire chapter? Hehe. Don't forget to review! Good reviews make me happy and get you co0kiez or mo0fins! Flames are only used to roast and/or toast kikyou! So it's great either way!
Sayonara,
Naomi
