Okay. I think I'm getting better at this fan fic thing. The first three chapters are already written to this story, so I'll update in due time. The story does get better, fast. So, bear with me.
In the Dead of Night
"I'm off to see Inuyasha, in the Sengoku Jidai! Because, because, because, because, a wonderful half demon he is! I'm off to see Inuyasha! In the Sengoku Jidai!" Kagome Higurashi sang as she skipped up the steps to her shrine home.
"Kagome, isn't that the Wizard of Oz song?"
With a blush, the young woman shook her head violently, almost tripping on the stairs.
"No, Souta. You're so stupid sometimes. It's…. uhm…. it's for a history project. Yuki and I are doing a musical on the feudal era."
"Oh, okay"
'Great, he definitely didn't sound convinced. A project with Yuki! Kami, how lame am I? Ugh. Way to go Kagome….'
Kicking off her shoes, she hopped up the stairs to her room, her spirits only slightly dampened. That is until she saw a silver haired, red clad, man sitting on her bed. One golden eye popped open at the slight squeak she let out.
"'Bout damn time, Kagome. Your stupid 'skool' thing usually ends earlier than this."
Kagome sighed and looked dejected.
"Nice to see you too. Yes, I had a wonderful three days at home. No, I didn't fail that math exam, thank you for asking."
The hanyou stood up and stared at her, one eyebrow raised.
"What're you babbling about? You hurt your brain or something?"
He examined her head for signs of a concussion, but Kagome waved him off, giggling.
"Quit it, that tickles. Now come on, help me pack. Actually…. never mind. Last time you helped me I somehow ended up with one change of clothes and much more ramen than I'd intended. How 'bout you…uhm…. sing. Sing me some entertaining, upbeat music!"
"I wouldn't sing if you payed me. Now hurry up, I think Sango's about to kill Miroku. I don't wanna miss that."
Inuyasha pulled a sleeping bag out from under her bed and tossed it down the stairs.
Kagome watched him with amusement.
"How'd you know where I keep my sleeping bag?"
He tapped his nose with a clawed finger.
"Duh."
The next half hour was filled with the common bickerings of the two, him always wanting her to leave space in her bag for more ramen, her simply refusing. By the time they left, Kagome had a severe headache, and Inuyasha was in a snit.
'Well, this is certainly a great start. Half an hour and we're already arguing. Maybe he's just hiding his passionate love for me.'
Lost in her thoughts, she had been ignoring him while he ranted about how he hated her slowing him down in his search for the Shikon jewel.
Kagome looked up at him for a split second, then snorted with laughter.
'Passionate love? Hah! I bet I have more passionate love in my little fingernail than he has in his whole body.'
Inuyasha stopped in mid-sentence and scowled at her.
"Hey, what're you laughing at!"
"Nothing, nothing."
She shook her head and leapt over the lip of the well and fell five hundred years into the past: into the Sengoku Jidai.
