Chapter 7: The White Wolf Pack Breakfast
Kamiko woke up on her side staring at the wall. She felt something kind of heavy on her waist. She lifted up the covers a little to see an arm wraped tightly around her waist. Kamiko rolled her eyes. She turned over to look at Inuyasha who was still sleeping. 'He's cute when he sleeps,' Kamiko thought to herself smiling. Then Inuyasha stirred and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a pair of two green eyes staring at him. He smiled at Kamiko. "What are you smiling at?" Kamiko asked proping herself up on one elbow looking down at him.
"Nothing, just remenicing on how beautiful your eyes are," Inuyasha said groggily. Kamiko blushed and looked down. "Yeah whatever," she said.
"Really, I've never seen eyes as enticing as yours," Inuyasha complimented. Kamiko looked at him and got lost in his golden eyes. She found herself unintentionally smiling at him. 'I just love his eyes,' she thought. She mentally shook and started to get up, but Inuyasha applied more pressure to her waist keeping her down on the bed. She glared at him when he raised himself up and kissed her. Her eyes went wide then she closed them and got into the kiss. Then she shook and pushed him away.
"Stop it Inuyasha," she said jumping up. She noticed two pairs of folded clothes on the chairs and walked over to them. She picked up the smaller pile and ran into the bathroom locking the door. She put her back against the door as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Inuyasha stared at the door and sighed. 'Oh well, shes just not ready, but she'll be mine, I know it,' Inuyasha thought to himself getting up out of the bed and walked over to the chair and picked up a red haori like his but it was made of silk, his was no where in site. He changed as there was a knock at the door. He walked over and opened it to see Miroku standing in a silk purple and black haori with a purple top and black pants.
"Hey," Miroku said walking in. He stopped when he only saw the one big bed. He turned and smiled slyly at Inuyasha.
"Nothing happened," Inuyasha said noticing the look and with Mirokus personality Inuyasha knew what he was thinking.
"Uh hu, sure. Where is your princess anyway?" Miroku said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"In the bathroom changing into those clothes they left us," Inuyasha said sitting in the chair facing Miroku.
Kamiko looked at herself in the mirror and wiped away the tears, 'I can't fall in love, no I won't go through the pain again,' Kamiko thought as she washed her face, she had to wash the tear smell off her face. She didn't want Inuyasha to smell the tears. She picked up the haori that the wolves left and looked at it. It was absolutly beautiful. The haior was a solid colored True blue color wich made her eyes stand out even more. She put it on and brushed her hair, before she walked out she took a deep breath readying herself to face Inuyasha again. She walked out to see Miroku there talking to Inuyasha, "Oh hi Miroku," she said thankful he was there.
"Hello Kamiko, how are you?" Miroku asked smiling. Inuyasha was staring at Kamiko in Aw. Kamiko mentally rolled her eyes.
"I'm fine how are you?" Kamiko said sitting down in the other chair.
"I'm doing good, I was just speaking to Inuyasha about some things," Miroku said. There was another knock at the door. Kamiko got up and opened it to see Kagome, Sango, Shippou and Kirara.
"Hi guys come on in," Kamiko said letting them in. She shut the door and took her seat in the chair. Sango sat next to Miroku on the bed and Kagome next to Sango. Kirara jumped onto Sango's lap and Shippou jumped up onto Kagome's lap. Sango was dressed in a pink and green haori, Kagome was dressed in a dark blue haori and Shippou was dressed in a black one.
"So does anyone know what happened to our real clothes?" Sango asked.
"They took them to be washed and exchanged these ones, they'll have our clothes done by tomorrow," Miroku answered.
"Oh ok," Sango said. Then there was another knock at the door. Kamiko got up and opened the door to see Rokan standing there in a gray haori. "Breakfast is served, come with me," he turned and walked down the hallway as the group followed eagerly awaiting good food. They walked through the maze of a cave until they came to a huge dining room. There was a long table which sat the pack of wolves.
"Good morning my guests," Lord Rasachimo said walking up to them. This is were we all eat and we would be honored if you would join us. Kamiko counted all the wolves and ended up counting 25 of them including Rokan and Rasachimo. Keiko and Kiramita were sitting next to each other across from six empty seats. Everyone took a seat. Sango was at the end with Kirara next to her on the floor were there was a silver dish, Miroku sat next to her and then Kagome, Inuyasha and Kamiko. Some of the wolves got up and walked into another room then came out with deep dishes of food. Rice, meat and even some fruit. Another wolf came out with four pitchers up wildberry juice.
"Ok everyone, dig in," the Lord said taking his seat next to Keiko and Sango at the end of the table. The whole pack was wearing a varity of colored haori's. It was very different from the armor they were wearing yesterday. Keiko was wearing a silver one and Kiramita was wearing a orange and red one. Everyone dug in. During the duration of the meal Miroku moved his hand over Sango's butt and she slapped him making the dining room go silent but everything resumed to normal after a couple of seconds. After the meal the group sat there for a while and chatted with the Lord Keiko and Kiramita. Periodically the wolves left to do their own buisness. Inuyasha kept looking at Kamiko and moved his hand and grabbed hers under the table. She moved it out of his grasp and pushed his hand away not even looking at him.
"So when did you discover that you were an element, Kamiko?" Keiko asked enthusiastically. Kamiko continued to look down at her lap.
"Kamiko?" Keiko asked.
"Huh, oh sorry I was thinking, what was the question?" she asked.
"When did you discover that you were an element?" Keiko asked again.
"Just a couple of days ago," Kamiko answered looking down at her plate.
"How did you find out?" Keiko asked.
Kamiko paused, "My parents told me," she said struggling to keep from crying.
"I'm sorry, can you excuse me," Kamiko asked standing up. Rasachimo nodded. Kamiko turned and ran out of the cave outside. She paused for a second looking around and ran off into the distance until she came up to a small river with a water fall. She walked behind the water fall and sat down and let the tears come out that she had been holding back. With that the waterfall became a little more intense and sped up.
Inuyasha stood up, "I'm going to go see if she's ok," he said looking at Rasachimo for permission. Rasachimo nodded and Inuyasha exited the cave. He stopped and sniffed the air for Kamiko's scent and started to follow it. He ran and came to a river. He sniffed the air again and Kamiko was close. Her scent was strong with an overpowering scent of tears. He walked along the riverside up to a waterfall. Inuyasha walked around it to see Kamiko. She had her knees up to her chest with her head on her knees and her arms wraped around her legs. She was deffinatly crying her shoulders heaving everytime she sobbed. Inuyasha's heart sank at the sight of her in pain. He walked in and sat down next to her. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into a comforting hug. She grabbed his shirt and cried into his chest. After a while she realized who it was and pushed him away. Inuyasha almost fell into the water. She backed away from him up against the wall of the cliff and stared at him. Kamiko wiped away the tears and stared at him again. Since she stopped crying the waterfall softened and slowed down. Inuyasha looked at the water in question then looked back at her.
"Kamiko whats wrong?" he asked crawling towards her. Kamiko tried to back up more but couldn't go any further.
"Nothing," she said quickly.
"Yes there is, tell me," he said sitting right in front of her blocking her into the corner she was in. She looked away from him. He reached over and pulled her chin over with his finger so she was looking at him. He rubbed his thumb along her cheek caressingly.
"Whats wrong?" he asked again a little softer looking at her with concern in his eyes. She pushed his hand away and looked down at her knees.
She sighed and said, "My family."
"Is it what Keiko said?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said.
"What happened to them?" Inuyasha asked.
"They were murdered, right in front of me, everyone in my family, remember I told you, along with Kagome, Sango, and Miroku," she said as tears welled up in her eyes again and her voice became shaky.
"Oh yeah, and your sister Rana," he said relizing what he just brought up, 'Damn it Inuyasha why did you say that?' he thought to himself cursing to himself.
"Yeah," she said lowering her head even more. Inuyasha cursed himself again and lifted her head up and leaned in and kissed her. After a second she pushed him away knocking him over and parted the water fall and jumped out onto the river bank.
"Wait Kamiko!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped out from behind the waterfall running after Kamiko who was running out towards the forest. She stopped and turned as he yelled her name again.
"What?" she said angrily. Inuyasha ran up to her panting.
"Look, I'm sorry for what I said and did, I just, I have feelings for you but I'm not sure what they are yet," he said thinking on how to describe his feelings for her.
"Well, I can't have feelings for you," she sturggled to say because she did have feelings for him.
"You can't or you don't want to?" he asked.
