I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!
Chapter 1: Transformed Feelings
Darkness fades as a peaceful dawn begins to sprout in feudal Japan. Two people inhabit on a wide branch of a tree in sightseeing on a cliff. They remained on the edge of a valley in the midsection of a row of mountains as their eyes could sight yet another set of dull, eroded mountains on the oppose side of the valley. Villages that were home to the bottom of the gorge were still held captive in the shadows of the peaks as the sun had yet to blast through the towering hills.
Surrounded by clouds of leaves and webs of branches that gave the tree its own unique form Inuyasha and Kagome had sat and slept in this tree since twilight. Inuyasha was the first to wake from being an early riser as he had his back against the core of the huge growing plant. Having his legs spread out and hanging down the branch he supports the priestess on his broad chest as she fills the space in-between his legs. The female had been wearing the original miko outfit ever since her leave from the future around mid June. It was now the early month of August. The conscious Kagome sees the spray of pink outline on the edge of the mountains off in the distance.
It was almost time for her hanyou to transform.
She gazes up at the contour of his face as he looks out in awaiting the sun. His face held determination as his eyes were solemn and eager to become his half-demon self. Her ink brows weigh down on her eye lids in making her eyes heavy and glance down from him. Her left hand parks on his thigh as she puts pressure on it in lifting herself up to rest her midnight cranium on his left shoulder.
Inuyasha felt her weight shift from his chest to his shoulder as his awareness goes to the young lady that cuddles against his warm body. His blackish-brown eyes meet her coco ones as his left arm wraps keenly over the width of her back. His hand curves to land on her stomach with caution so his palm wouldn't rest on something else that was above her belly. The human-hanyou didn't want to go through that mishap again. All it lead to were their freaked out scarlet faces and a squealing panicked 'sit' from an embarrassed miko. Thank kami nobody was around….it would've been pay day for Miroku.
Now drowned in the man's crimson fire rat from his massive sleeves and baggy shape that infected around his lean, muscled body tone Kagome begins messing with the subjection beads encircled on his neck. His chin touches his chest in marvel of what she was doing, "it's your choice but do you want me to-?"
"No," he delicately murmurs in clasping her hand that was hovering on his chest with his as he brings her hand securely against his chest. Intertwined fingers and Inuyasha's palm on the back of her hand she could feel the pulse and soothing vibration of his heart. A blush coming up to the surface she finally gets her focus to his fond but still stern facial expression, "this is what connects me to you. And this is the only thing that protects you from myself."
The new moon had always let him have the courage to speak his feelings by words instead his actions that at times Kagome would miss this rare side of him. The priestess didn't know how to put her words in a correct order so she could say her retort evidently. It's like the words were bouncing all around the area inside her head and were too hasty for her to grasp. She only left him with straight pink lips and a sliver of shock in her rich doe orbs as his darker orbs were as rich as hers. Her body became nearer to his as his arm pushes her back and his clutch on her small form gets tense. The two's shape oddly fit perfectly together like a puzzle as her curves flow along his straight form.
The hanyou's girl then beams from his excuse to keep the jewelry on as she grants a diminutive nuzzle on his neck with her nose. As if her smile had been contagious he smirks on the tip of his lips in hardly ever seeing it. In return of her loving actions he brushes his lips on her forehead marks a soft kiss in locking his eyes. Whilst the woman gladly hums to the comforting touch his deep, harsh vocal springs out, "I know I'm going to regret saying no to you in taking this thing off when I transform though."
She starts giggling, "I guess then I'll have to wait until both of you guys make up your mind," she views his side bangs and the rest of his black mane in figuring out Inuyasha had a lot of similarities to her in his human form except that his hair was longer than hers as it reach to his backside.
Also that he is a guy and I'm a girl….don't really want to leave that out….
"Besides I like your stubborn side…" Kagome suddenly pops out, "…at times I miss it as much as this sensitive side of you."
Now it was his turn to blush as he blinks uncontrollably and raises his thick brows into the sea of his chunky bags. An anime sweat drop lowers down to the side of his head in mumbling, "…i-is that so?"
His beloved nods in acceptance.
"Keh," his attitude immediately changes as he pours out a stubborn pouty expression and avoids his glare at her and instead spies on the greenery. He would've crossed his arms as always if he didn't have her on top of him. The light grew brighter behind the mountains, "you're just saying that."
She huffs and turns her face from him, "find be that way but what I said about missing your stubborn side doesn't mean that I don't get annoyed at you in thinking you're a pain, " he ignores her.
The sun began to ascend higher as he noticed that he desired to say one more thing before the demon part of him would be too obstinate for him to say it. He goes back to see her still glaring away from his presence. He knew she was waiting for an apology but he knew that part of her knew that it wasn't going to arrive because of him always holding a grudge or him being too brainless to know why he had to ask for forgiveness. That's what she had to live with in being with him. The young man wanted to prove her wrong.
From it being a habit in their now confirmed relationship Inuyasha grips her endearing chin and practically forces her to look at him, "I'm sorry, ok."
Kagome relaxes and still gazes at him in a sorrow look and shakes her head in apology accepted and views downward. Still claiming her chin he makes her look at him again in raising her head up roughly to get her attention hyped up, "but I'll never regret saying why I wanted to keep these beads on. No matter how much of an ass I act to you or how stupid I am in not shutting my damn mouth that doesn't mean I don't beat myself on the inside. And you have no idea how pissed of I get at myself when I see and scent your tears. I'd only do that if it meant protecting you from danger. Never would I want someone important to me to be in pain mentally or physically."
Not really expecting the last part to come her eyes bulge, "Inu…" Letting go of his grip below her mouth she makes a heartrending grin though you could still see the potency of happiness in her eyes, "…I know Inuyasha." That's all he needed to hear as he narrows his eyes along with no arch on his lips but she could tell he held of no sorrow. Rays of light shoot out; the morning warmth stabs them with pride.
The sun…
The intense light blinds the background as all the miko could see was the flare of her boyfriend's long, black hair spraying out in submitting to the demon inside him. The moonless night has ended. Kagome could never get over her hanyou's transformations. Her favorite was the one he was presenting to her now.
Inuyasha began to pulse as she watches in amazement. Except for his eye brows his black hair changes to the silver/white mane that shimmers out when it is embraced by the sun. The dim, coal eyes vanish as Kagome is met with his fiery, gold twin orbs. The dull nails grow to be claws as she felt the precarious nails poke her clothing on her tummy. Vibrating waves hitting her and tickling her skin his pulsing continually kept going on its own pace until his round human ears disappeared and were replaced by two fluffy triangles on the top of his head. Sensing demonic power flowing through him thanks to her miko powers her half-dog demon was back, her Inuyasha.
"Ugh, finally daybreak," Inuyasha said while his just formed fangs greet themselves to her spectacle. The eighteen year old boy – in appearance – suddenly feels a thumb and a forefinger rub one of his silver dog ears as the other one twitches to the relaxing touch. This woman would be the only one to touch his ears as they were hers alone to rub on. He growls in delight of her massage on his sensitive, erect ears as he blackens his sight and bows his head for her to get better access. His white locks falling down his broad shoulders.
After that little moment Inuyasha seizes Kagome as he stands on the branch in great balance. Held bridal style her naturally wavy ink hair flies as the male leaps off. Surfacing the soil he lets her down as they walk back to master Mushin's place, Miroku's guardian. The place where Miroku lived most of his life training to be a Buddhist monk and where Miroku and Sango were planned to be wed.
"So what do you think about Sango and Miroku getting married today?" Kagome asks with a joyful smile for the couple.
He shrugs his shoulders inserting his arms as one, "they deserve it from all the trouble they've been through together from Naraku. And besides we all knew this would one day come; everybody has to take a step forward sometime and move on."
"True," she sees the many clouds floating in the blue jay sky, "so are you going to wear anything nice?"
He gave her that look, "I guess not then."
"Feh, why should I? To me being at someone's ceremony is respectful enough as it is. What's the difference; all you'll be wearing is just expensive clothes that you'll only wear for that one day," he rambles on in his husky voice. She couldn't argue with him there.
"Damn it," he curses in his esophagus so her naive hearing couldn't catch it. "What's wrong?" the miko follows with his words in concern.
I knew it would regret this….damn, my stupid emotions!
"Inu…" she says the short term of his name again today as he slouches his shoulders, "I knew it…"
"Knew what?"
"I knew I would regret saying no! Can you just take'em off?" he hollers and grabbing the rosary and yanking it towards her to get what he meant. She sighs but refuses immediately, "no."
"Why not!"
"Because, you baka, I'm not taking back on what you said and I know part of you still wants it on," she calmly suggests in walking ahead of him as he caught up in a simple jog, "how can I take it off of you when your human self doesn't want me too."
"That's because my stupid emotions were to frickin' sensitive at the time. You know how I am when I'm human; god you know myself better than anyone…even her," he was in front of her know as she froze at the last two words he spoke. Kagome knew who he had been talking about when he said 'her'. Lately, he would use that phrase to mean of his first love, Kikyo. The priestess knew she couldn't replace a part of his heart that belonged to Kikyo. And she knew that she wasn't his only main weakness.
"I know…" she then felt hurt at the realization of what he just pointed out, "…stupid emotions, huh," The hanyou senses her aura and presence being emotionally pained, and not to mention he could see it in her eyes like reading a book, "Kagome…"
Kagome knew he didn't mean to do this but it didn't stop her from swelling up inside. The negativity and pain got the best of her soul this time, "What about of what you said…you meant every word and you call that stupid. Might as well say you regret saying it…"
"What did I say…" the second he shouts it out he yearned to take those words back as he remembers it like if someone hit him with a baseball bat. Inuyasha just stands there dimwittedly as his now extended eyes and pale mug wrote regret all over his appearance. That's when she broke, he smelt salt water.
HOW IN THE HELL COULD I FORGET THAT!
Opening his jaws to utter his mistake she cuts him off, "…you idiot! How could you…h-how…," her tone shatters in a crackling voice, "…that meant a lot to me, Inuyasha! Or…or was that just wishful thinking in my head?" Part of her felt that he should drown in pain for his foolishness.
The young man then battles in his mind in trying so hard to find the right words that wouldn't result to her firing back at him in agony and tears. Having a brawny urge to just swiftly hug her and just to do anything possible to make her feel better he was more afraid she would shy away from him. That would just pierce him like a knife. He wanted to be her medicine and bandages that would caringly heal her, but instead he was the scorching ache of her injuries. Making her suffer.
"K-Kagome…I didn't mean-"
"Sit boy!"
As if he was suffocating in water Inuyasha uses all his willpower to battle against the spell and raises his head up to Kagome before she would disperse from him as he could hear her footsteps taking their leave. The inu-hanyou most likely would have not fulfilled his mission if she had run out of his sight. Muscles quivering and painful grunts he snaps his skull up to her as she halts, "damn it Kag…" he uses her nickname that he gave her the time they went swimming in the pool at the hotel.
The owner of these moist, dark chocolate orbs replies in meeting extreme amber ones, "…I'm going to get Sango ready for the wedding. Just promise me not to cause a ruckus and be supportive for Miroku. I'll be by your side when it starts."
At least she's calm.
Curse these hormones…
He nods to his girlfriend as she then takes off.
Oh dear, looks like Inu and Kag are not getting along again! As usual!
