Chap ter 4 – Down the rabbit hole
As soon as the blue light faded and the two found themselves looking up out of the well to see a roof, Kagome immediately noticed a horrid stench. Placing her fire-rat sleeve up over her nose to block it out, she complained “What’s that stink?” but all she saw on her own face in return was a smirk, as Inuyasha chuckled “I don’t smell anything….”
“I’m serious, does it always smell this bad in here to you?”
“Only really paid attention the first time, see you’ve got a lot of birds nests up in and around this roof, some of the babies died, and……”
“Oh my gods!” she moaned, still holding her sleeve over her nose, “I’ll have grandpa clean this shack out more often!”
As soon as they exited the well-house, and Kagome lowered her sleeve away from her nose, she got punched in the face again. This time, she recognized the smell, smog. But, the air was fairly clean where she lived. Granted, not near as clean as back in the feudal era, but still, she only smelt smog this bad when they traveled deep, deep into the pit of the cities, and still, it really didn’t smell this bad. Kami, if she could smell the pollution this strongly, up here at the edge of a hill, she didn’t want to think about down town Tokyo.
She also hadn’t been prepared for just how superior her hearing truly was, picking up annoying city sounds she never thought could reach her here. No wonder Inuyasha protests coming to her time so often. Speaking of Inuyasha, she glanced over at the body she once occupied, to find it smiling stupidly. Inuyasha was absolutely giddy over currently having Kagome’s dulled senses, and it was no wonder why. Well, it should be fairly easy for her to act like Inuyasha while they’re here, her keen senses having succeeded in giving her a headache, and as a result, she was very grumpy.
Suddenly, a gentle hand placed upon her shoulder inspired her to shift her gaze once more, seeing a concerned Inuyasha, who mumbled “Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.” He knew exactly what she was going through, and that knowledge made her feel much better, somehow, even better than the realization that she would apparently adapt and ‘get used to it’ as he put it, if he could, she could. But he understood her, truly understood her, at that moment, and that meant more to her than she figured he’d ever realize.
Kagome was hoping that nobody’d be home, but unfortunately, you can’t always get what you want. Barely having rounded the corner, her senses still a mixed jumble due to her new environment, she suddenly heard an ear splitting screech yell demon and found, she was now decorated with sutras. Inuyasha couldn’t help but laugh gently at the sight, while plucking the useless pieces of paper off of what was once his own forehead. He then turned to the old man, and remembering he was ‘Kagome’, snapped back
“Will you stop doing that? Inuyasha is a good guy! He protects me, and has defended our world, too.”
Grampa just stood there quietly mumbling something about ‘but, demon’ so following suite, Kagome piped up.
“Keh, the old man will never learn.” And together, they proceeded to walk past him, up towards the house.
Once they approached the front door, Kagome could easily smell that her mother was in the kitchen, and Sota, apparently wasn’t here. Well, there was some good news anyway. They decided on a stealth approach, and silently entered the house, and walked up the stairs, without Kagome’s mother noticing. Getting to her room, Kagome quickly opened the door, and immediately after Inuyasha entered her room behind her, she quickly, yet as quietly as possible, closed, and locked it.
“Okay,” clapping her hands together, “Let’s get you out of that uncomfortable uniform.”
“Wh….wha?” Inuyasha stuttered, as Kagome started unbuttoning his blouse. He then proceeded to slap her clawed hands away from himself, and back up a bit clinching the blouse shut.
“Um, Inuyasha? That’s my body, remember? I think I’ve seen it naked before.”
“It’s just the principle of the thing!” he complained.
“Okay, fine, if you think you can figure out how to unhook your bra, go right ahead, I’ll be downstairs, oh, and when Mom notices me, I’ll try to act as baka-ish as possible!”
Sighing, and submitting defeat, Inuyasha grumblingly accepted Kagome’s assistance.
“Why do you think I locked the door?” she said with a smirk.
As soon as Kagome had Inuyasha’s bra off, the topless body of Kagome couldn’t help but look down, then, while the body of Inuyasha had its back to him, looking through a dresser drawer, Inuyasha’s human hand found itself wandering upwards, until it was, more curiously than anything else, examining one of the breasts. Pinching a nipple caused him to inhale sharply at the sensation, something Kagome’s hanyou ears picked up on. She suddenly whirled around, and spotting the sight before her, snapped, albeit a whispered snap, of “Inuyasha! Stop that!”
Said hanyou-turned-human obeyed instantly, a pink hue present on his/her cheeks, as he mumbled his apologies. He was expecting Kagome to be mad, really mad, but instead she started chuckling awkwardly, and then continued to go about her business of picking out a nice comfortable sports bra for him to wear, that wouldn’t dig into his skin as much.
“Aren’t you mad?” he asked, genuinely apologetic
“I was for a second, before I realized that’d be stupid.” She mumbled, hoping to leave it at that, but no.
“Why?” Awww, so innocent, so genuine, so much for him not seeing her blush.
Kagome turned around, face as red as the haori she wore. “Nothing, I just realized, I have to go to the bathroom.”
“Huh? So wha……Ohhhhh.”
The two then faced off in a blushing contest, but after a moment of silent stares, Kagome broke the ice, by abruptly plunging themselves both through it, as she proclaimed “Now!”
She started to head for the door, but heard a quiet hiss of “Don’t leave me like this!” that caused her to turn around, to see that Inuyasha was in fact still topless.
“Sorry!” she whispered, then proceeded to run to her closet, and grabbing the first baggy t-shirt she saw, chucked it at him, and then made a mad dash out the door and towards the bathroom, praying not to be stopped along the way.
Kagome reentered not long after, to find Inuyasha wearing the shirt she’d tossed him, backwards, and fumbling with the neckline that was threatening to choke him.
“I can’t leave you alone for a second…..” she mumbled, then proceeded to walk over towards Inuyasha, lift the shirt off up over his head, flip it back right side out again, and pull it back on, the correct way.
“Well how the hell was I supposed to know? You just ran out!”
“I had to! Or I was gonna pee your pants!”
“You….you better not have looked!”
“How, exactly, am I supposed to do that, and not look?”
*Ding*…..it was round two of the blushing contest.
Kagome was the first to break the silence, again.
“Uh, I forgot, I was getting you another bra.”
“Keh, no thanks, that thing hurts.”
“Running around without one will end up hurting more…..trust me.”
“Keh, whatever.”
Kagome retrieved the sports bra, and assisted again with the removal of the t-shirt, application of said under garment, and replacement of the shirt once more. Then, she went back to her closet, and found a nice pair of stretchy jeans that she figured would be comfortable enough for him. Handing them to him, she figured he could probably get out of the skirt, and into the jeans, by himself. She figured wrong. But it wasn’t his fault though, that her zipper chose this moment to stick!
Fumbling with the zipper of her skirt, Kagome wasn’t really paying too much attention to where she placed her hands, while grabbing and tugging at the fabric of her skirt that was caught, while barking commands of “don’t move” and “suck it in” to which he’d snap back “I ain’t moving” and “I am sucking it in!”
“Damn it!” Kagome finally snapped, all the while still keeping her voice down, of course. “These damn claws are in the way!”
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her profanity, but finally said “Keh, why don’t you use them then, wench.”
“I suppose your right, I could always fix the zipper later……” She mumbled.
With that, Kagome very carefully, used the claw on her index finger to slice through the stitching on one side of the zipper. Inuyasha couldn’t take the contact any more, and long ago, had clamped his eyes shut, just praying for this whole nightmare to be over. But when his body felt the sensation of a claw gently grazing the skin through the material of that damn skirt, it sent shivers through his body. When he felt the sensation of the skirt being dropped to his feet, the external image of what was his body, slicing off Kagome’s skirt, entered his mind, and he couldn’t help the tinge of arousal he felt as a result.
Suddenly, he realized Kagome had stopped, and daring to open his eyes, he turned his head slightly to see the image of his own body, frozen in place, an expression of shock on his face. Damn, she probably smells my arousal. He thought, but then wait, would she? Would she even understand all the new sensations she could detect with that nose of hers? Of course she would he kicked himself inwardly, it’s her body after all, and everybody knows their own scents.
After sniffing a few more times, just to make sure she wasn’t crazy, she decided she was right, her body smelt turned-on. But does that mean Inuyasha……? Banish the thought. Must just have been due to the physical contact, she surmised, just a natural reaction. She was just about to play dumb, make some idle comment about how he stinks, and could use a bath, but then it hit her, if she could smell it now, and even be able to recognize what she smelled, due to some instinct she didn’t know she had, then that meant, all those times, all those times she’d been aroused around Inuyasha…...Ahhhhhh
Realizing she still wasn’t moving, she quickly got up, quite suddenly, and grabbing the jeans, proceeded to assist Inuyasha’s balance, while he shyly stepped into the pants. He knew, she knew he knew, he knew she knew he knew, and so forth, so…..let’s change the subject shall we?
“How are the shoes?” she asked rather suddenly.
“Huh? Oh, they’re fine I suppose…” he mumbled, while looking down at the footwear that, under the circumstances, Kagome had.let him keep on.
“Uh, Kagome?” Inuyasha asked quietly.
“Y….yes?” she stuttered her response, taken aback by the seriousness of his (well her) voice.
“You told the others we’d bring back ramen, remember?”
“Ah crap,” Her vocabulary getting more like Inuyasha’s every minute, “I forgot. Okay, well, we’ll have to go to the store then.”
“Think you can handle it?” Inuyasha asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
“I bet your senses go crazy in the store, huh?”
A small nod was his non-verbal response.
“Oh well, I don’t have much choice.” She stated matter-of-factly, standing up as she finished buttoning up Inuyasha’s pants. “It’s not like you can go by yourself……” she continued, trailing off.
“Oi wench, what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing personal, just that you’re still learning my time, is all.” Besides, Kagome thought to herself I’d hate to see what would happen if you ran into my friends, or…(gulp) Hojo!
“What’s the matter? Why’d you gulp?”
“Uh, nothing! Come on, let’s just get this over with….”
With that, Kagome gently unhooked, and sat down Tetsusaiga, and grabbed the hat she always makes Inuyasha wear, as well as a pair of sandals, and her money, and they were off.
Coming down the stairs, Kagome decided to quickly let her mother know they were here, in case she went into her room and found the katana, so she whispered to Inuyasha what to say real quick.
“Hi mom.” He said, sounding as cheery as ever. He was eerily good at his Kagome impressions, and it kind of freaked her out.
“Oh hi dear, I didn’t hear you come in…..Oh hello Inuyasha, how are you?”
“Fine, we just came for more supplies.” She said bluntly
“So we’re going to the store mama, see you later…..bye.” Inuyasha continued, as the two headed out the door.
They could both hear Kagome’s mother saying “okay dears, see you later…..” as they closed the front door behind them.
That went well….
