She sat down at her dresser and ran a brush through her ebony locks. She slowly looked up at the woman in the mirror. All she saw was black circles from lack of sleep. The crying had made that all the worse and made her eyes red as well. She sighed heavily as she took a cloth rubber band to pull her hair back in a braid. She brought her hair around her shoulder and started braiding as she contemplated all that had happened over the last day and a half. Her mind was weary from the pain she suffered but remembered the old adage about it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
‘That’s a pile of horseshit pft……’ She had never known pain this way. She had broken a wrist and both of her ankles, along with 8 of her 10 fingers. That was physical pain that she could handle. This pain though, was pain that could not be taken away. Or at least she didn’t think it could. To her young mind, this was the closest thing to the end of the world that there was.
She logically knew better and she knew she would move on. ‘Do I want to though? The way he made me feel… will I ever feel that way again? Is this a once in a lifetimes chance for me to have happiness?’
She shook her head at her reflection, “You’re just as full of shit as the rest of the assholes. You know there are other fish in the sea.” She pointed her finger at herself in the mirror and waggled it. Sticking her tongue out at herself she felt a small smile happen and she decided it was time to start fresh for the rest of the day.
“That’s it, it’s time for work.” She said aloud and clapped her hands together in front
of her to finalize the statement. She grabbed her much smaller gym bag with the rest of her work clothes and skates and locked up the house. She moved out of the house into the courtyard, looking up at the sun in the sky and the wispy clouds passing over. She shielded her eyes from the sun and she could almost feel InuYasha was near. She really didn’t care. She had made it abundantly clear to all involved in this little fiasco that she could take care of herself and that she didn’t need him or her brother.
Sesshomaru’s offer was amazing. On top of that, he bowed to her and apologized. She was absolutely sure that he had NEVER done this for anyone. Demons of his rank and station did not just throw around apologies and protection. She made her way down the 399 steps, ‘Maybe I do mean something to the family. If he’s willing to go to the trouble of coming all the way out here to meet with me and offer, maybe there is something to this.’ She would have to contemplate this.
She reached the halfway mark on the steps and remembered that Sango brought her home last night. Her car was currently parked at Sango’s house which was at least 3 miles away. She slapped her open palm to her forehead.
“Shit. How the hell am I going to get to work?!” She said aloud as she blew her bangs out of her face. She decided that she would have to actually run to work. That’s just what she needed.
She was not adverse to a good jog but the rink was in the opposite direction from Sango’s and it was much further away so she had to choose to either go to Sango’s and get the car and show up late, which she really didn’t want to do with the whole thing from last night, or to just simply run to work.
‘There’s nothing for it I guess.’ She started to lightly jog down the rest of the steps to warm up a bit. When she reached the bottom, she pulled the gym bag over both shoulders and bent down and tied her shoes more tightly.
She slowly looked up when she heard the sound of a motorcycle just in front of her. She took a quick breath and gasped slightly. There on a beautiful red Ninja was InuYasha. He was clad in all black leather from head to toe, starting with the boots, all the way up to the sleek black helmet. She knew it was him from the flowing silver hair that cascading down his back. He removed his hands from the bike and turned it off. He took off his helmet and looked directly into her eyes. The smoldering fire in that molten gaze was almost her undoing.
“Hey Princess, can I give you a ride?” he said to her in his rich baritone. He looked absolutely yummy in that get up. She turned on her heel and started walking away at a quick pace. She didn’t want to do this yet.
On top of it all, she did not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how he affected her the way he did. All she wanted to do was go over and just jump that sexy half demon. She refrained though because her pride and heart were still hurting so badly.
She started jogging in the direction of the rink, deciding that was going to be the best bet since she lost precious time looking at the sex god on the bike. He must have just sat there gawking at her because she was pretty sure he would follow, but he didn’t seem to be behind her. She huffed slightly, she was disappointed once again. ‘Go figure, especially when it comes to him. What was I expecting?’ She sighed and continued on in a slightly quicker run.
She was not going to turn and look when she heard the bike. She actually felt happy that he was following her. ‘Maybe he truly is trying to make it right. But what will happen when we both see Kikyo. It’s not like that will never happen, look at what happened last night. Just imagine what that would be like every time I worked.’ She was getting way too ahead of herself. She wasn’t even technically in a relationship with this stranger. She didn’t even know him and she was looking way passed where she needed to. What she needed to do was try to get passed all the shit from last night. If he was going to make such an effort, she might, and let me stress that, MIGHT, give him another chance to kiss her ass.
She came to an abrupt stop on the sidewalk which caused InuYasha to do the same. He was a good block behind her as he came to a halt. She quickly turned on her heel and marched over to the leather clad demon. She had a very determined look on her face as she locked eyes with the hanyou.
“Do you have a license?”
He nodded.
“Have you ever been in an accident on that thing?”
He shook his head.
“Do you have an extra helmet?”
He nodded with a crooked smile as his fang peaked out. He moved his hand to the back of the bike and patted the seat and grabbed his extra helmet.
“Wipe that fucking smile off of your face. I am not forgiving you. I simply need a ride to work and you are the lesser of two evils right now. If I didn’t have to work a double, and had actually gotten a decent night sleep, I would have just kept on running.” She said with a huff as she yanked the helmet over her head.
The smirk on his face instantly vanished as he quickly remembered the reason why he was thoroughly supposed to be kissing her ass so he could get her back. ‘Did I ever actually have her? I don’t think I ever actually asked her.’
He remembered back to when she yelled at him after she kissed Kouga and how she had free will and that he never asked her what she wanted. ‘I never gave her a choice. I just assumed. Look what happened too.’ He put his helmet back in his head.
He turned his head to the side slightly to look at her as she adjusted her bag and made sure her helmet was on correctly. He instinctively reached out his hand to check the helmet to make sure it was strapped on tight and his hand brushed against the soft creamy skin on her neck. Electric shocks went through both of them at that moment. He cleared his throat as he moved his hand away.
“Have you ever been on the back of a bike?”
She nodded.
“Do you know what to do then?”
She looked at him like he was out of his mind with a look on her face that said, ‘Well
DUH!’
“I mean you know you have to lean into the corners when I turn.”
She nodded.
“You also know you have to hold onto me the whole time too right?”
She nodded and he saw the slight blush that crossed her features. This was the first blush he had seen since last night at the rink and he couldn’t help but think back to the fiction she had written. He couldn’t believe that someone that could write such beautiful, romantic and steamy literature could get all flushed from having to hold onto her soon to be mate. ‘Hold your horses there man, you know that might not be the case any longer.’ He chastised himself.
He held out his hand to her and she took it. She put her right foot on the peg and swung
her left leg up and over and she let go of his hand to grab his shoulders for better leverage. She wiggled around a bit on the back of the bike until she was relatively comfortable. She had a good 6 inches between her front and his back. She had a hold of his jacket with her fingers. She was only just grasping onto him.
He turned back to her again and cocked his head to the side, “This is how you hang onto someone on a bike?”He shook his head as he turned back to face forward.
“You have to have your arms around my waist Princess, or you’ll fall off. The last thing I want to do is be responsible for anymore fucked up shit happening to you. It’s bad enough that I have done the shit I have, I will NOT let you get hurt while you are with me.” He waited for her to do as she was told or for her to explode on him like an atom bomb.
He waited with baited breath for a minute as he felt her slowly snake her little arms under his and around his waist. He audibly sighed at having her touch. He could smell her even better now. He was calmed just by having her touch. He knew this had to be the woman he would spend the rest of his long life with. She still had a lot of lingering sadness but he could also sense a lot excitement. She must not have been on too many bikes.
“Don’t worry Princess; I have been riding since the 1930’s. Have no fear, just hold on to me tight.” He said as he revved the engine and did a burnout away from the curb. He felt her tighten her grip and could feel her shaking. He slowed down a little bit and took his left hand off the handlebar. He placed it around his midsection where her hands were and stroked it lovingly.
“Seriously?!?” She yelled at him. “Are you really thinking that I am scared or something? Oh right? I’m shaking a bit, that’s called adrenaline InuYasha. I happen to like riding things fast.”
“You want fast? You got it Princess. You had been hold on tight because I’ll show you what real speed is.” He finished his statement as he made sure she had her arms securely wrapped around him and he dropped a gear and took off like a bullet towards the rink.
‘If this is what she wants, this is what my angel princess will get.’ He thought to himself as he cruised with his girl.
