Sorry but this is a edit on my chapter 2 nothing has really changed just had to make a few corrections.
Hearts Desire
It had become late in the afternoon as he kept watching and waiting for her to awake. He was starting to get impatient and Shippo could see it.
"Inuyasha just because your sitting there and staring at her doesn't mean she's going to wake up any faster." Shippo said trying to calm the dog demon.
"She's been like this all day I'm tried of waiting. I want answers!" Inuyasha said with a very irritated voice.
Shippo just shook his head and sighed, "Your so pushy Inuyasha. She's hit her head and now your leering over her so close I'm surprised she can even breath!"
Inuyasha didn't care he just wanted her to open those beautiful eyes. He thought she must look like what a angel looks like with her long brown tresses and her full pale pink lips against browned skin not to mention her scent. He smelled someone else's scent too even Shippo couldn't deny it. Ariel had started to wake but kept her eyes closed so she could just listen to the two male's talk.
"She doesn't look like Kagome's relation" the fox said looking over her feature's he knew what Inuyasha was thinking. " She doesn't even look Japanese maybe she's from the continent?"
"I don't know Shippo. I just want to know who she is and how she can make me do the sit thing when only Kagome could do it before." Inuyasha knew that wasn't the only reasons.
Shippo had caught the glimmer in his friends eyes.
"Oh sure Inuyasha that's the only things you need to know." He was trying to tease his friend it had been awhile since he last did. "She sure is pleasing to the eyes though, don't you think?"
Inuyasha at this time was looking her over again intently. He thought to himself again yes she was very pleasing to his eyes and nose. He wasn't really paying attention on how close he was getting to her face with his eyes all glazed over.
:::smack::: "You pervert!"
"OOww… What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha surprised at the attack that was just handed out."
"Keep your lips to yourself dog boy!" She said furiously as she threw back the blanket and stood up.
Her head hurt her so bad still she grabbed it and wavered slightly.
Inuyasha grabbed her and yelled "Sit down stupid!"
"I can handle it myself!" She said getting very angry at this point and wincing from the pain that throbbed in her head.
"Inuyasha! Stop it your being to harsh and keep your voice down." Shippo said trying to douse the fire that was about to ignite and he really didn't want anyone getting hurt after everything was said and done. Shippo knew in the end it would be Inuyasha that got hurt though not the fiery brunette standing before them.
Shippo stood up calmly and walked a couple of steps toward Ariel. "My name is Shippo it's nice to meet you." He smiled the smile he had learned from Miroku, being that he had spent most of adolescent life with. Ariel was still glaring at Inuyasha even after he had stopped touching her.
"I am Ariel" she said turning her attention to the fox trying to be polite and shook his hand.
"This is Inuyasha" Shippo said gesturing to the dog.
"Yeah I kinda figured that out, the pig."
Inuyasha looked at her with his mouth half opened in shock and shaking his head. "Pig! I saved your ass last night."
She snorted, "Whatever I took care of that lizard myself with out your help!" She said rolling her eyes.
"Why you ungrateful wench!" Shippo smacked his head after Inuyasha said this oh great here we go again.
"That's it I'm outta here!" She said heading for the door way pushing the cloth that covered it.
"Wait!" Shippo said trying to get her to stay, but she was already outside and walking towards the way of the well.
"Sorry Shippo but there's this stench of a pompous ass in there and I can't stay." she said being snotty about it. It wasn't Shippo's fault that Inuyasha was such a asshole.
Whoa…did she just call me a pompous ass he said trying to resister it in his male mind. He came stomping out of the hut. "Well it takes pompous ass to know a bitch when he sees
One!" He said angrily.
She stopped in her tracks and glared over her shoulder. Shippo saw the oh so familiar look of a female pissed off. He didn't know if he should take cover or not. Gods she's scarier then Kagome was he said to himself. Inuyasha not seeing what was about to come next.
"SIT!" :::BLAM:::
Shippo just stood there looking at Inuyasha twitching on the ground from the force of the command. He smiled a little, she's getting to him and he likes it. Inuyasha needed a woman with a strong will, he chuckled to himself.
"What are you laughing at badger boy!" Shippo just gestured to the girl that was now out of the village and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Inuyasha got up and chased after her.
"I knew it he likes her", he said half laughing to himself.
"Hey stupid stop!" but she kept walking trying to ignore him. "Wench!" she still did not stop. She thought to herself what a asshole how dare he use that tone with me "Of all the nerve!" She said out loud. She finally could see the well in view and then she heard those words in her head. " I just want to see him one last time." Oh god Kagome she thought Damn it, she stopped in midst ride and shook her head. Inuyasha not paying attention almost ran right into her.
She turned around and pointed her finger at him "You!" squinting her eyes in distaste with jaw set "Your coming with me!" She grabbed a handful of his hair and started to pull him along.
"Ow Ow Ow…let go!" She was half dragging him to the well.
"Oh no you don't your coming with me because someone has requested your presence and your going." She was about to drag him all the way there if she had to, to fulfill Kagome's wish even if it meant spending time with the ass.
They reached the well with him fighting her the whole way. She stopped and let go of the bundle of hair she had been tugging on.
"Get in!" she said demanding.
He snorted "Feh like I'm going to do what you tell me" crossing his arms. "I don't even know who your are!" he was half hoping he would finally get his answers now.
"I told you already my name is ARIEL are you dense or can you not hear with those ears of yours!" She was getting testy and he could see her blue eyes flash.
He knew he wasn't going to get what he wanted out of her if he didn't calm down himself. "I know your name is Ariel, but where are you from and why or how did you get here?"
She sighed she really didn't know how to answer part of the questions he had for her. " I come from the future" she said calmly.
"Well duh I know that. I mean are you from the future Japan or the continent?" She wasn't sure what he wanted to know about that for.
"I live in Japan, but I am from America."
"America?" not knowing what she meant by that.
"Look I really would like to answer your questions but we have to go."
"Why?" Inuyasha said confused as to why he was needed.
She knew this was going to hurt her saying this. "Please just get into the well and I will answer your questions later ok?" She was trying to be as polite as possible.
He rolled his eyes "Yeah whatever." With this said he wrapped his arm around her waist and jumped into the well.
When they reached the other side he jumped out of the well with one leap and busted the rest of the boards that had covered the opening. Landing on the ground she pushed him away and hit him in the chest.
"What was that for?" he said looking at her with a scowl.
"Don't ever touch me again." She said walking up the stairs
"Well ok I didn't know Miss All High and Mighty didn't like to be touched!"
She turned after he said this comment ready to say something back, but stopped herself and just pointed at him with a warning look. He just stood there waiting for whatever that didn't come. Ariel turned around and started walking again knowing he still had not started to follow her.
"What are you waiting for I don't have all day!" Ariel sighed.
With that said he started to follow and glance around himself at the building that housed the well. To his dismay it was falling apart and so was the well from old age it didn't look like anyone had taken care of it. He stopped just outside the looking at the mess below his feet.
"What the happened here?" Inuyasha said raising his brows.
Ariel just kept walking and shrugged " I had to get inside."
Not knowing the truth "Yeah but all you had to do was open the door not tear it down are you so dum that you can't open a door." he said confused with the mess in front of him.
Sighing she stopped and turned to him " In order for me to get in I had to tear down the boards that Souta nailed up there to keep the door closed."
Inuyasha had a big frown on his face why would Souta do this and as it hit him. "Wait you know Souta!"
She had already gotten to the door of the house "Yes" was all she said.
Inuyasha noticed how everything looked different and there was a big garden off to the side of the house with a pond and another building that hadn't been there before. Yes everything was definitely different from when Kagome live here there was even a street up to the shrine (this would be the driveway lol).
"That means you know Kagome!" he said excitedly
"Yes" is all she replied again.
"Is that why you brought me to see Kagome? Is she in trouble? How is she? Where is she?" At this point Ariel was getting frustrated again all these questions were not helping the headache she was having. Ugghh… he's not shutting up she thought.
She walked down the hallway to the kitchen and went to the fridge and retrieved a bottle of water. Ariel passed through the hall again to get to the stairs. Blah blah blah god he's worse then a woman with all this talk. Inuyasha was still following her, keep it under control Ariel he's just curious she said to herself. She finally stopped and turned around.
"Look I know you have questions, but right now I'm going up these stairs and I am going to the bathroom to take some aspirin and a shower."
Holding up her index finger and shushing him before he said anymore. " I have a headache. I'm tired, I'm dirty and I am hungry. If you can find a way of being quite for say uumm… the next 30 minutes so I can take a shower and put clean clothes on I will answer your questions while I make something to eat" hoping this was acceptable to him.
She knew there was no point to take Inuyasha to see Kagome today it was already getting late and they both would more then likely want to spend the day together catching up. Inuyasha nodded his head and with this acceptance she took her leave. Ariel got her aspirin from the cabinet and looked at herself in the mirror for a little while trying to search for the right words in her head and swallowed the pills. She went over to the shower and turned it on so she could get it heated up after doing so she sat on the seat awhile while the shower ran with it's rolling steam. Ariel tried to collect herself the best way she knew how.
"God how am I going to explain this to Souta?" Ariel knew he was going to kill her for this she knew for sure and on top of now she had a man staying in her house. "Damn it how'd I get myself into this?"
Inuyasha could hear the water running 'bout time he thought he was getting impatient from waiting so he made his way up to the room that Kagome had stayed in when she was younger. He placed his hand flat on the door and sighed. He then grabbed the door handle and opened to see inside the room. The room no longer held the scent of her and her things had been replaced with books, shelves, chair, desk and a computer which he thought was small TV and what looked like a long sitting chair. He could smell the scent of the woman that was now in the shower in this room. Inuyasha was sad that Kagomes things had been replaced, but the light smell of lilies was oh so tranquil. He closed his eyes not hearing everything had gotten quite from the bathroom. He was to intent on remembering every detail of Ariel right down to the small freckles on her skin.
"What are you doing?" the sound of her voice bringing him out of his stupor and half scaring him in the process. She moves to quietly he thought.
"Nothing I was just remembering this was Kagome's room." he said half lying.
"I've been living here for a year and a half now when Souta moved out he took everything with him except for a few articles of clothes that didn't fit him anymore." she said shrugging.
Ariel motioned with her head for him to follow her " Come on lets go down stairs and get something to eat."
Inuyasha looked around one last time and closed the door behind him.
As she prepared the food he asked her question after question. "Where's Kagome now?"
"She's living in a home for elderly people." she didn't want to upset him with choosing harsh words or telling him of her condition. Kagome's poor heart had been weakening over time. She knew she could be to outspoken for her own good.
" Did she have a good life?" He was very curious on how she did, he didn't want her to have had a life of bitterness or loneliness after what had happen.
" Well she was married a long time to a man who gave her everything and she had 2 kids a boy and a girl." Kagome had kids he thought and smiled. He could see the visions of them and how they probably looked like her too. Inuyasha remembered how she had some hand in raising Shippo and she was a great mother figure to him.
:::Sniff, Sniff::: "What's that smell?"
"It's chicken, mash potatoes, and green beans" she said.
He gave a funny look on his face " I don't know what that stuff is but is sounds gross"
She laughed at him "Are you telling me you've never had chicken?"
"No, I've had chicken it's that other stuff."
She turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. " Since you've never had the "other stuff" you don't know if it's gross and you'll just have to try it."
"I'm not eating that crap and you can't make me!" He was now acting like a 5 year old fidgeting at the table.
She finished putting the meal on the second plate. " Too bad I think you will eat it because I went through the trouble of making enough for both of us!" She sat a plate in front of Inuyasha which he just stared at.
"How am I suppose to eat this?" he said looking at her.
Great she thought I forget he uses chop sticks and I don't have any, yeah only because I never tried to use them myself.
"Here this is a fork" she showed it to him and began to cut his chicken up. We'll start with the fork first she thought he might be dangerous with a knife. She stabbed a piece of meat and handed it to him. He took it and ate it, then he went on to the mash potatoes. Ariel watched with a lowered head, he looked pretty funny it looked like he was trying to kill them.
"So who exactly is Shippo?" she asked content with just looking at the food on her plate.
"Mmm… huh oh Shippo" he said stuffing his face " he's the baby fox demon Kagome adopted when she traveled with me."
Ariel thought back to the stories yeah that's right now she remembered. Boy wouldn't Kagome be surprised he wasn't the baby anymore!
"Hey you got anymore of these mash potatoes?" he had ate everything on his plate which surprised her. She go up and got the pot she had made them in and placed it on the table in front of his plate thinking he would just dish out what he wanted. Raising her small eye brow and mouth agape she stared as he just took the whole pot and dug right into the taters.
"O ween doth I see Kapome?" He said with his mouth full to the brim.
Ugggh… no manners how gross she thought. " I was thinking tomorrow its to late today. I thought you would spend the day with her it is what she would want."
He thought of her answer and looked outside the small window in the kitchen it was getting late and it had gotten dark outside. She took the plate and pot from Inuyasha and put them in the sink. Ariel yawned and stretched herself he just watched her.
" I think I'm going to bed early I'll see you in the morning." As she left the room and headed up to her bedroom she didn't pay any attention that Inuyasha was following her. She opened her room door and turned to close it, but he was standing in the way.
"What are you doing?" her heart beating hard from fear that he was now going to be doing something to her.
"What do you mean what am I doing you said you were going to bed and I'm coming too." This is not what she had intended to hear from him so she put a hand on his chest trying to stay him off from coming in her room.
"Oh no you don't your sleeping on the couch!" She wasn't having any part of this it was bad enough he was even staying the night.
"Kagome and I always stayed in the same room and I'm staying to watch over you" he said innocently.
"I don't think so I'll be just fine by myself. Look here's a pillow and blanket." She said pushing the things into his arms and out of the door way then closed the door on him.
He didn't understand what he did wrong he had smelled fear on her, but why would she fear me he thought. I just wanted to protect her. Ariel pushed her back up against the door and asked herself again how she had gotten herself into this mess. She pushed herself off the door and got ready for bed.
Inuyasha went down the stairs reluctantly and stood in the semi darkness. He thought to himself I am not going far from her room so he sat down and leaned up against the wall of the hallway with her door in view. He closed his eyes keeping his self awareness on alert with his surroundings. Her scent was everywhere gods she could drive me crazy he thought. He soon fell into a deep relaxing sleep due to her scent.
Ariel woke up at the crack of dawn and started to rummage around in the closet for the clothes that Souta had left. She looked them over to make sure they would be suitable to wear and that they would indeed fit Inuyasha.
"They should fit him better yet they best fit because I am not going out with that god awful red outfit he wears!" She folded them up and grabbed a pair of sandals and a hat.
She didn't notice Inuyasha until she got down stairs and found him in the hallway sleeping. She looked at him and smiled. I won't wake him just yet she thought. Ariel went into the kitchen and set the clothes and things on one end of the table then started the day with cooking breakfast. She flipped on her radio and started the water to wash dishes while she cooked.
Inuyasha woke up "What the hell?" he wondered out loud as he stood up. He walked over to the doorway and saw Ariel with her back turned. He cocked his head to the side watching in amazement and listening to the words of whoever was singing. Well he thought it was singing he didn't know what else it could be. Ariel was oblivious to the person watching while she gyrated her hips to the music the topping it off with a belly dancer dance. She had still been in her pajama's which were a tight pair of low cut yoga pants and small tank top that came above her belly button about 3 inches. The outfit definitely showed her shape. Inuyasha just stood there and watched her hips as they swayed back and forth.
"I'm tell ya to loosen up my buttons
Baby but you keep frontin say whatcha going to
Do to me but I ain't seen nothing…"
"Typical Hollywood type of mother fucker…"
"I'm a sexy mama use to getting what I wanna…"
Inuyasha shook his head my god I think I'm turning into the lecherous monk! He was trying to get the thoughts he was thinking out of his head but she wasn't helping. Ariel had turned around at this point and stopped dancing. why the hell is he looking at me like that for?
"Umm… good morning Inuyasha." she said trying to break his staring contest he was having with what she didn't know. Demons sure are weird she thought.
Embarrassed and turning the color pink "Huh… oh good morning."
She turned back and turned the radio off and finished cooking breakfast. " Are you hungry Inuyasha?"
"Feh yeah whatcha got?" he was starving.
"I've made eggs, bacon and pancakes."
"Pancakes?" not sure as to what that was but he was eager to try since her meal from yesterday was so good.
Ariel dished everything up and placed it on the table. He wanted to start gobbling up the food before him but thought better to wait for her to sit down. She sat the plates and silverware down on the table.
"What do you want to drink orange juice or milk?"
"What's orange juice?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's juice from a fruit, do you want some?"
He nodded and she brought a cup to the table.
"What's that?" he said pointing to the pile of clothes.
"Those are the clothes you need to change into to go visit Kagome."
He snorted, " like hell I am!"
She looked up from her food, " Oh you'll wear them or I'm going to sit on you and change your clothes myself." She was being serious about this but Inuyasha just laughed.
" Ha ha yeah sure your puny ass can't do anything to me!"
She went back to her food and raised one of her brows "We'll see." She wasn't going to raise her voice to this 2yr old act he was displaying.
"Are you threatening me?" surprised at her remark.
Ariel didn't say anything for awhile while she picked at her food then looked back up and placed her elbows on the table.
"No"
"No?"
"It's a promise." her eyes not wavering as he glared at her.
Gods could she really do it? He thought for a second Nah she couldn't do anything to hurt him. They finished their meal in silence and she removed all the dishes afterwards. She went over to the table and grabbed the pile of clothes and went into the living room. He had followed her trying to figure out what she was up to. The room was fairly large with a couch, a chair and a fire place for the cold winter nights. She had up dated the home with more American features. In the corner was the TV and a shelf full of her movies and music. She stopped in the middle of the room and threw the clothes on the couch.
"Ok Inuyasha we can do this the easy way by letting you change yourself in the bathroom or I can change you myself here in the living room!"
"How dare you threaten me!" he growled, "I'm not putting anything on let alone those clothes!"
He was about 5'11" and probably about 195 lbs she thought sizing up her opponent. She knew she was about to hurt his pride but he deserved it. They were about 3' away from one another not far at all she thought. She had to be confident when she attacked. He watched her scowling Feh like she can do anything to me. She came at him low and fast but he jumped up which landed him with his back toward her. Ariel spun on her one knee and hit him in the cress behind the knee with the bottom of her palm. This made him buckle and drop to one knee, but she wasn't done. She forced her hand to his spine and grabbed his forearm pulling it back. Damn it how's she do that he thought. Inuyasha tried to fight back but she was pressing her knee into his back forcing him to go down fully with face in the floor. With his left arm still pined behind him, she put enough pressure to keep him down.
"Now shall we make this uncomfortable for both of us by me undressing you or should I let you up so you can do it yourself!" She said.
"HA! Like I'd let you win." he said grunting.
Ariel knew he was uncomfortable with the position but with his last comment she wasn't about to loosen her grip so she pulled his arm back further.
"AAAhhhh… OK OK I give I give damn it let me up!"
Satisfied with the results she climbed off his back and let him up. He got up mumbling under his breath the whole time while she glared at him with the evil look. Seeing the look he shut his mouth.
"You know your lucky I could have just told you to sit ::::Blam::: for the next hour or so." she said laughing to herself. That will straighten him up she thought.
"What the hell did you do that for I said I was changing!" he yelled still laying on the floor.
"I'm so glad your being so complaint with me. Now quit being a whiney little bitch and get up from there and go get dress so we can go." She tried sounding stern, but her resolve was breaking down and she just wanted to laugh.
Inuyasha got up and went up the stairs to the bathroom pouting. "How could I let a woman beat me!" He said, he still didn't know how she even did it.
Ariel went up the stairs to go to room to get ready and listened at the top of them. Oh he better be getting in those clothes she thought.
So she decided to yell something to him "Inuyasha! You had better be putting those clothes on" trying to sound scary.
He was a little taken a back that she even knew he hadn't started "What does she got mind reading powers!"
Of course she was the first one done she had dressed in light colored jeans that fitted low on her waist and a light pink form fitting tank top which came just above her belly button. The top showed her coloring off very nicely because she was tanned, but not only that she had a very slim waist line with a four pack going on. Her hair was neatly pulled back but not tightly into a French braid which if it had been down would've hid the slight scar across the top of her back and the tattoo of a star gazer lily with a blue butterfly. She looked at the clock on the phone in the hallway and it said 8:30 am. Where the hell is he? She asked herself.
"Hey" she turned to see a buff Inuyasha standing a pair of baggy jeans and a tight black T-shirt. HOLY SHIT she thought to herself almost ready to drool and pant. She was trying not to stare but it was near impossible.
"Well?" he said
"Umm… it looks good" she squeaked, "Oh here's this put it on to hide your ears and those down there for your feet" pointing to a pair of sandals.
Gods he's standing to close I can't breath. Sensing she was uncomfortable he moved back a little.
"I look stupid don't I?" he wasn't feeling comfortable himself.
"No, no you look fine." she said
"Really you mean it!" he was really interested in her approval.
"Yeah you look great and you look like a normal person now lets go." Ariel said as she put her finger in the ring of her key chain and walked out. Inuyasha followed close behind her and shut her house door. As he turned around he saw her walking toward the moving vehicle.
"Do we have to get in that thing? Can't we just walk or I can carry you while running." He was nervous in all the time he had been with Kagome he had never gotten into one of those car things.
"Sorry Inuyasha, Kagome's on the other side of town it's better to use the car to get there."
He grunted getting in and sulked. They rode in silence all the way as he watched out the window. He really couldn't think of anything else to do being in such close proximity of the woman who was about to drive him insane with her wondrous smell. There where buildings where they hadn't been fifty years ago as he watch the scenery. Soon they came to a stop not far from a large building and Ariel turned off the car.
"Well are you ok Inuyasha?" She thought he might be nervous after all it had been probably close to fifty years since he last saw Kagome.
"Yeah I'm ok" He said staring at the building doors then looked at her "Hey what are we waiting for lets go!" nudging her.
She could tell there was something wrong with the tone of his voice, but dismiss the thought. As they got out and neared the door Inuyasha got in front of her and opened it. He had seen other men in this time doing it for their lady's, so why shouldn't he. Kagome had explained along time ago that men did it as a form of courting like in his time. She walked in smiling at him but underneath it she was fuming she could have gotten the door herself she wasn't helpless! This was the first time Inuyasha had not paid any attention to the small tattoo on her lower backside for he was looking at something else and then he raised his head to her upper back to see the scar across her back. He hissed alitte who would hurt her like this?
"Are you ok?" she asked confused at the sound he had just made.
He hadn't answered her as they approached a woman behind a desk.
"Hey Lia, how is she?" she asked the girl that was looking at Inuyasha who was now sniffing the air and starting to walk off. Ariel grabbed his hand and he got electrical shocks from her touch it gave him goose bumps.
"She's better but a little restless. The new meds are making her comfortable and Souta said her heart sounds stronger." Then the girl whispered, "Who's your hottie?" She was thinking Inuyasha wouldn't hear.
"He's just a friend Lia, so can we go see her?"
"Sure just don't upset her being that she's been emotional ok."
Ariel remembered how she had been the last time she was here and nodded. When they got to the room she stopped and turned to Inuyasha.
"Let me go in first so I can make sure she's calm enough to see you."
He nodded, but what he really wanted to do was to storm in there and hug Kagome her scent was just emanating from behind this door. She went in leaving the door open. He could see someone sitting in the chair that Ariel went to and knelt down. Ariel made sure she moved to the front of Kagome to place her hand on hers so she wouldn't startle her.
"Kagome someone's here to see you." she said softly
"Ariel it's so good to see you, but I still see no boyfriend!" Kagome said raising her brows.
Ack! Great now I am about as red as a tomato and Inuyasha will likely have some sort of comment later she thought.
"I've brought someone." she motioned for Inuyasha to come in.
As he got close enough for her to reach out Kagome blurted "Sit boy!"
:::Blam:::
Ariel was stunned that she had did this "YOU FOOL! Why do you still carry that damn jewel?" She sound angry and Ariel was determined to douse the fire that was starting to blaze between the two of them.
"Damn you woman I came to see you and all you do is sit me!" he said trying to get up.
:::SHUSH::: "Stop it you two don't do this here." Ariel went to close the door so no one could see what was going on.
It was bad enough that Souta was going to kill her for bringing him here, but to have the whole nurses station to bust in on this wasn't happening.
"What is wrong with you Kagome I thought you'd be happy that I brought him here since you're the one who asked!"
"I am happy but that fool was suppose to get rid of that jewel!" Kagome hissed.
"What jewel? What the hell are you talking about?" She asked not really knowing what Kagome was talking about.
"Can you not feel it Ariel? I know you can you have the gift."
Ok Kagome has flipped she's lost it "Feel what I don't feel aanny thinngg?" She hadn't noticed for some reason or another until just now as if her soul was reaching out for something. She shook her head and looked at the now standing Inuyasha. She saw a slight glow coming from his tee shirt.
"What is that?" She said looking at him with caution.
"The jewel Kagome was talking about." As he pulled it out to show her it started to pull toward her on the necklace he carried it from.
"See I told you she has the gift and she's a lot stronger then I ever was." Kagome said sounding proud of herself for knowing it.
"Ok that's it I don't want to hear this nah nah nah." not wanting to hear anything they said. She started to walk to the door leaving them by themselves.
"Wait where are you going?" Inuyasha sounding hurt that she was leaving him behind.
"It's going to be lunch time in a few hours I would think you guys would want to spend some alone time without me here."
"When are you coming back?" Inuyasha said pleading
"I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours and then I'll bring lunch back. I know from Kagome's stories you like ramen so I'll bring you both back some ok?" She just wanted to get out of there Kagome had her spooked with the "she's got the gift" thing.
"Ok" he said not sure if he should let her leave he smelt her scent flare to fear and then back to normal again. He hadn't smelt fear on her during the fight with the big demon lizard why now?
She left closing the door behind here and walked half way down the hall before she propped herself against the wall holding her head in hand. This was getting to be to much she had already let the half demon in her home overnite and knew that Kagome was going to ask so much more of her. She soon left the wall and walked out of the building to get her much need air and space.
Inuyasha stood there looking at the door hoping that she would just decided to come back. He wanted to sooth her fear she had.
"Inuyasha she's gone."
"I know I smelt her leave." he said disappointed
"Don't do it Inuyasha, don't hurt her like you did me and Kikyo. She doesn't need it, she's been hurt to badly." Kagome said sadly tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Don't do what Kagome? I haven't done anything!"
"You know very well what I'm talking about! I may be old but I still see the look in your eyes that you gave her." Kogome said being cross with the half demon.
"Feh your blind as a bat old hag" he said trying to be humorous about it. "I gave no such look to her."
"Your such a liar." Kagome said rolling her eyes.
"Just shut up already and tell me what's been going on will ya and hurry up will ya I ain't got all day." he was being his normal cocky self.
Kagome told her life story to him as he sat on the floor listening and in turn he gave her the news of his life and the other. Kagome was glad for most parts but sadden to hear about Miroku leaving the world without taking her dear heart sister with him. She knew Sango would have been so heartbroken without her soul mate, but in turn they had had a four beautiful children and quite a few years together. Shippo was doing fine but still hadn't settled down. They both traveled together still fighting demons and looking for the last remaining jewel shard. The last time Kagome was with them she had talked Kouga into giving his shards over and Inuyasha still had the one in the sword. They had eventually defeated Naraku and taken his piece of the jewel they just needed that last piece. Kouga had finally settled down with Ayme and had pups of his own, but still burned a torch for Kagome who just giggled.
"What of Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken?" She ask curious on if the Ice Prince had soften alittle.
"What do you mean Mr I got a stick up my ass sheesh he's just as before. Rin she got married to a lord, had kids and died." He thought thoroughly "Jaken died protecting the youngster when she was in her teens."
Kagome thought it was so sad that Sesshomaru never changed his ways. She had thought that Rin would have changed him completely but she was wrong.
"Inuyasha what do you think of Ariel?"
"I don't think nothing of her why?" He was trying not to show the obvious.
"I know you like her Inuyasha so cut the crap mister!" she said, "You can't do to her what you did with us. You can't keep her on the side lines waiting she's not the type to put up with it. I still don't know if I will be able to convince her to go."
"What do you mean you want her to go back with me? It's to dangerous Kagome it was to dangerous for you." Inuyasha wanted so much for Ariel to join him in his quest but he didn't want her getting hurt.
"Oh I don't think that's going to be a problem with her Inuyasha." She said sounding serious, "Ariel can take better care of herself then I could with what she's been through."
"What happened to her Kagome? I want to know, is it the same thing that gave her that scar on her back?" He was going to drag it out of Kagome if he had to.
"Inuyasha, Gods!" She said half choking on it, "About two years ago Ariel was admitted to the hospital Souta was her doctor at the time. She came in with twenty-one bones either broke or fractured, She had multiple cuts and bruises she also had great amounts blood lost." Kagome had tears streaming down her face at what the girl faced and conquered.
"Who did this to her?" Inuyasha gritted through his teeth. He had only known the girl for a short time, but he had fallen for her hard.
"A man that she will not name. You see this is why I tell you not to hurt her Inuyasha, if you are still in love with Kikyo or any other stop now and leave." Kagome said shaking her head. "She has strong powers and you will need her to find the last shard, but I will not have her heart broken."
"If there is any heart breaking Kagome it will be mine." he knew he had divulged to much.
Ariel had come back with lunch in hand stopping just shy of the door to Kagome's room. She had heard Kagome tell Inuyasha she was strong and not to break her heart and then she heard Inuyasha's reply. Ariel thought to herself I didn't ask for this how dare he! She was angry at his statement she didn't want anything to do with a man or any in fact. She then tapped her foot on the door so as not to barge in unexpectedly. Inuyasha got up and opened the door to only look into cold eyes with no emotion. What the hell got her panties in a bunch he thought not thinking she had heard anything they had talked about. She came in not saying anything and handed them both a cup of ramen then sat on Kagome's bed and pulled out her sandwich. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and he back at her not knowing what to say.
After awhile Kagome broke the silence "Ariel dear you need to go back with Inuyasha to his time."
"Why we'll just end up killing each other and besides I wouldn't be much help." she was trying to be calm and rational she didn't really want them knowing she was eves dropping.
"True you might kill each other, but he needs your skill in finding the last shard to complete the jewel."
"Why would anyone want anything to do with that thing it's evil. I know I've listened to your stories a hundred times." she said huffing and still not looking at them.
Whoa she's stubborn Inuyasha thought and she's breaking my heart. What could I possibly say to her that will make her want to come along. Just then Kagome chimed in with her say.
"Yes it's evil Ariel, but it has to be taken care of and you're the only person to do it. You have the miko in you the strongest I've ever seen! Your aura screams out power. I couldn't finish the job and Inuyasha can't finish it on his own PLEASE Ariel do this for everyone!" Kagome begged her.
Ariel knew she was defeated when Kagome begged her she just couldn't say no to the woman. Just then the door flew open and Ariel's eyes got as big as saucers. Oh shit! She said to herself.
"What the hell is going on in here and how the hell did you get here!" Souta said angrily trying not to scream out his disproval.
"Souta" Ariel said panicked
"Souta" Kagome said trying to calm her brother
"Souta" Inuyasha gulped he hadn't seen the boy since he was almost a teen.
Souta looked around the room then his eyes landed on Ariel giving her the your dead look which made her hang her head in defeat. He was the only man she trusted in her life and she just let him down. Souta then step in the room and shut the door only to turn around and punch Inuyasha right in the kisser.
"Hey what the hell was that for!"
"That's for hurting my sister you asshole!" Souta said looking very pleased with himself with the long overdue ass beating for what Inuyasha put his big sister through.
Ariel growing some balls said " Alright you two that's enough I am in no mood to be thrown outa here today! Great I have a damn headache now. You two will sit down and shut up or I'm the one who's going to be doing the ass kicking!"
Both men looked pretty scared at this point. Inuyasha because he had already been on the receiving end of her ass kicking and Souta for watching her train her ass off for over a year. Kagome just giggled she loved it when two ego huffed up men could be put in there place by a woman especially by Ariel who was only 5' 3" and barely 100 lbs soaking wet.
Both men in unison said "OK".
"Good now listen well, 1. Souta I'm not sorry I brought Inuyasha here. She wanted to see him and you should have respected her wishes and 2. Inuyasha" She said with more emphasis on "2. I will go with you to finish this stupid thing after that I am so gone."
Kagome so pleased with herself, she had not wanted Ariel to go with Inuyasha at first thinking she would only get her heart broken in the process, but after hearing Inuyasha confess he had already fallen for the girl and pretty badly at that. Souta shaking his head and Inuyasha with his mouth agape not believing what she just said.
After a few hours of sitting and discussing things between each other Ariel decided it was time to go home. They would have to go back to Inuyasha's time tomorrow and she would do all the packing she needed tonight. She went over to Kagome and hug her goodbye and Kagome telling her to take care of herself. She then turned to Souta and asked for forgiveness and thanked him for letting her into his family. He of course said there was nothing to forgive and that he loved her like his own child. Inuyasha went up to Kagome and kissed her on the forehead and told her he was sorry for everything he had ever done. She told him to stop being silly and that he had better take care of Ariel because if he didn't she would come and hunt him the rest of his life. He just smirked and turn to Souta and stuck his hand out to shake Souta's.
"You turned to be one hell of a hitter kid and you keep taking real good care of Kagome." Inuyasha was pretty proud the way Souta had turned out.
Ariel and Inuyasha left together down the hall. She almost knowing he was about to say something growling. "Don't say one word keep your mouth shut."
With that said they left in silence to the store to pick up supplies and then back to her house pack her bag to leave in the morning.
There hope that was long enough for you I know it tired me out lol let me know what you think!
