Chapter is full of romance and deep affection. More actions scene will appear in the future episode filled with drama.
" InuYasha, I really really like you!"She blurted out the words, her hands clasped together and her eyes closed for a few seconds. It felt as if her heart was about to burst if she didn't express how she felt. She might not even realize how deep her affection for him ran, blazing like the sun. However, she feared what others might think, worried that it would complicate things, especially with everything happening around them. She didn't give him any time to respond, speaking in a low tone filled with worry." fear that I might become your vulnerability, or that you could become mine, leading to my demise before you, just like what happened with my master, Kikyo.
Those words pierce the heart like a blade.
" Kotori, I will protect you, I swear it on my life!"InuYasha exclaimed, gazing into her eyes with his hands gently resting on her shoulders. In this moment, he wasn't his usual hot-tempered self; instead, his eyes reflected a soft and gentle demeanor, mirroring the warmth of his voice. His expression and actions conveyed a deep care for her, likely even more than he realized.
You are different
Her golden-yellow eyes, reminiscent of the sun, shimmered with warmth and a touch of blue. When she locked eyes with him, her affection was palpable. She looked at him as though he represented her entire universe. Her heart raced in her chest as knots twisted and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
I know this is wrong but I selfishly can't stop myself.
The moon's brilliance tonight ignites a fierce desire within the beast. Beneath the crescent moon, the two half-demons gazed into each other's eyes. Kotori's stunning reddish-brown hair danced gracefully in the wind as she reclined on the cave floor. Inuyasha leaned toward her, sealing their connection with a passionate kiss. He gently slid the sleeves off her shoulders, and in that moment, they both felt a mix of shyness and hesitation. She delicately took his hand, a blush spreading across her cheeks. "I want this," she said softly, mustering the courage to express her feelings in this awkward situation.
We shouldn't
She confidently decided to take the lead in the moment, gently guiding his hand to rest over her heart, allowing him to feel the steady rhythm beneath her skin.
Kotori...
He glanced at her with nervousness, swallowing hard, as this would be his first experience making love with a woman.
InuYasha
She let out a soft whimper as his icy fingers glided across her skin, sending shivers through her body as they lingered on her warmth, contrasting sharply with their chill.
He held her close, enveloping her in the warmth of his embrace, his eyes shimmering like golden sunlight, brimming with a longing that seemed to stretch across the distance of time they had spent apart. As she delicately caressed his cheek, her fingers gliding softly against his stubble, she drew his face nearer, their breaths mingling in the charged air between them. Her gaze captivated him, softening with affection, each moment stretching into eternity as they stood on the precipice of something profound.
Their hearts raced in unison, each beat resonating with the anticipation of the moment about to unfold. It was both peculiar and exhilarating; although they had not crossed paths in what felt like ages, being reunited sparked an undeniable magic, flooding their hearts with a radiant warmth that pushed aside all distractions. The world around them melted away, leaving only the intoxicating cocoon of their connection, as though they had stepped into a hidden paradise where time held no dominion.
Their chemistry was nothing short of electric, igniting the air with a palpable energy that surrounded them. Each shared glance ignited flares of forgotten passion, memories of laughter echoing in the recesses of their minds. The profound love they shared intertwined seamlessly with the deep, rhythmic pulse of their connection—an intricate dance of emotions that felt both timeless and new, as if they were rediscovering all the facets of each other that had remained dormant. In that moment, they both understood that they had been waiting for this reunion, their hearts finally aligned to savor the beauty of their rediscovered bond.
The frigid night air was biting, yet the two found solace in one another until exhaustion took over, and they drifted off to sleep in each other's embrace.
She stirred awake to the gentle sound of a droplet of water landing on her face. As she slowly opened her eyes, she realized InuYasha was holding her tightly against his chest.
Meanwhile, everyone was worried.
As the first light of dawn spilled over the horizon, painting the sky in soft hues of pink and orange, Kagome settled herself onto the cool, dewy grass. The previous night had been restless; she had watched InuYasha, driven and determined, chasing after the elusive soul collectors. His pursuit was fueled by an unwavering quest for Kikyo, his first love, a connection that seemed to draw him like a moth to a flame.
With a heart full of hope, she gazed into the dense forest, her thoughts consumed by a longing for his swift return. The trees swayed gently in the morning breeze, their rustling leaves echoing her desire for his presence. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching and felt a surge of anticipation. She convinced herself that it was InuYasha returning to her side. But as the sound grew louder, her excitement waned; it was not him but rather a group of playful orphan children, laughing and calling out as they kicked a worn leather ball back and forth. Disappointment settled in her chest, mingling with the beauty of the dawn around her.
InuYasha, where are you?
The fox demon peeked out from the bushes, unsure of how to comfort his human friend. Though he was just a small boy, he understood that strength was vital. Yet, he lacked the courage to lift her spirits. Whenever he tried to use his fox magic, she continued to remain gloomy.
" Darn that InuYasha! Always hurting Kagome."
The demon slayer cast a weary glance at her companions, taking in their grim expressions and heavy silence before returning to the task of cleaning her weapon. As she methodically wiped the blade, a deep sigh escaped her lips, filled with a sense of hopelessness. She felt an overwhelming powerlessness to alter the somber atmosphere that enveloped them—a silence that had become all too familiar. Rather than attempt to break the tension with forced words or hollow reassurances, she resolved that maintaining a respectful distance was her best course of action. It allowed her to focus on her weapon while giving her companion the space they needed to process their thoughts and emotions.
" Sango, don't worry." Miroku softly rested his hand on her shoulder.
He's not so mad
She released a sigh of relief; the small gesture eased the weight on her chest. Within moments, she felt a hand caressing her buttocks. Her face flushed crimson with embarrassment, and a resounding smack echoed as if it came from the heavens.
" I TAKE BACK ANY NICE THING I EVER THOUGHT ABOUT YOU!" Sango shouted in anger.
Then, an unexpected event unfolded that captured everyone's attention: a soul collector soaring through the sky.
Kikyo?
A multitude of souls radiated from the forest, swirling around the young and enchanting priestess who stepped out from the trees with poise. Her sorrowful eyes held a sense of disturbance, while her long black hair cascaded gracefully around her." Where is InuYasha?' She questioned.
" Lady, you have a lot of nerve coming here when InuYasha was running with his tail between his legs to find you like he always do! How can you be so shameless and show your face in front of Kagome who been hurting all night long !" Shippo sounds like a frustrated child having a tantrum.
"I do not comprehend what this little fox demon is attempting to convey. Since agreeing to train her to become a powerful priestess like myself, I have not encountered InuYasha. My search for Kotori continues, as I fear something unfortunate may have transpired. I sincerely hope she has managed to find her way here. I made a promise to her father that I would protect her."
