A/n: There will be a lot of stuff going on in this chapter because it's only a two-shot. Please read and review!
Kagome opened her eyes to find two gold eyes staring at her. She groaned, and sat up.
"Mmmm…what do you want, Inuyasha? It's too early for me to go."
"No, it's not. I waited three days, and you said to come back at eleven. It's eleven thirty."
Kagome looked at the clock. He was right. It was eleven thirty.
"Man, that must have been one hell of a party. I never get up this late. Too bad I can't remember it."
Kagome had come home because her best friend, Yuka, had her sweet sixteen. Things went a little hectic, and everyone was completely wasted by the end of the party. Kagome remembered getting there, but she couldn't remember how she left. She also remember someone giving her a two-liter bottle filled with Coke and Vodka. How random is that?
"Why?" Inuyasha asked her, bringing her out of her train of thought.
"Huh? Oh, we were drinking alcohol. God, I can't believe I did that! I feel like crap."
"What's alcohol?"
"Oh," she said, remembering that there was no such word as alcohol, then, "It's kind of like sake, only when you drink it you usually forget what you do when it's still in your body."
"Okay. Well, are we going to go or what?"
She rubbed her eyes, and looked over at him.
"Ten minutes."
He nodded, and left the room. Kagome's head was pounding. She stood up, and walked to the washroom. She washed her face, brushed her hair and teeth, and took some Advil for her headache. Walking back to her room, she saw that Inuyasha was going through her refrigerator.
"Inuyasha!" She called.
"What?"
"There should be some soda in the fridge. Grab a bottle, and we'll take it back with us. Just be careful, and not shake it."
"Ok."
Inuyasha looked through the fridge for anything that looked like a bottle. He saw a plastic thing with brown liquid in it, and he grabbed it, careful not to shake it. What he didn't notice was the duct tape on it that said, "Mixer" on it.
He placed it into Kagome's backpack as she headed down the stairs. She had sunglasses on, and her face was paler than usual. He felt her forehead, and it wasn't hot, so he knew she wasn't sick.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" She asked, looking at him strangely.
"You looked pale, so I thought you had a fever."
"Well, the hangover is probably what is making me sick."
"What's a hangover?"
"Never mind, let's just go."
They both jumped down the well. The usual purply-blue aura showed as their feet touch the bottom. It disappeared as soon as it came. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the waist, and as easily as they jumped in, they jumped back out. Kagome and Inuyasha walked back into the village right outside the Forest Of Inuyasha.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo greeted Kagome eagerly. She hugged Shippo as he jumped into her arms. They walked back into Kaede's hut, and ate some soup.
"Mmmm…this stuff is great!" Kagome said, finishing it up in one bite.
"Glad you think so, Kagome," Sango said, smiling as she finished her bowl.
Kagome set her bowl down, and leaned back against the wall. She yawned, and rubbed her tired eyes, hidden beneath the sunglasses.
"Kagome, are you alright?" Miroku asked her. She nodded.
"I'm just really tired. I didn't sleep well last night."
"Why don't you rest, you do look like you need it," Sango said, standing up. Kagome nodded, and she stepped outside with Sango. She walked into another hut, and laid down. Sango brought her a blanket, and Kagome immediately fell asleep. Sango walked outside, and went back to the boys.
&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome's eyes flashed open. She yawned and stretched. Compared to what she felt like before she fell asleep, it was great. She stood up, and walked outside. Sango was sitting on the grass, and Inuyasha was lying in a tree. Sango looked up, and saw her.
"Hey, Kagome! Haven't seen you in a while!"
"What? What are you talking about?" She said, approaching her.
"You've been asleep for two days," Inuyasha said, jumping down from the tree.
"You're kidding me! No way I could've slept that long!"
"Well, you did, and everyone was worried about you, even Inuyasha," Sango said, smiling.
"I was not!"
"Oh, and then going into the hut about twenty times a day isn't called worrying."
He didn't say anything. Kagome smirked at him as his dog-ears drooped. Kagome gasped, and told Sango, "Oh, I completely forgot! I brought some soda in from my refrigerator."
Kagome walked back into the hut, and brought out her bottle of pop. She handed it to Sango, and she looked at it questioningly. Opening it, she took a sip from it.
"Ooh, this is great! Where did you get this?"
"You can get it at any store in the world," Kagome said a matter-of-factly.
Sango looked at the label.
"Dr. Pepper? Is he some doctor or something like that?" (A/n: The duct tape fell off when she pulled it out of her bag.)
"No, that's the name of the soda. There are different types of soda, and I just grabbed a Dr. Pepper."
Miroku had just appeared next to Sango.
"Dear Sango, what is that?"
"It's soda. Try it."
He took a sip out of it, and his cheeks flushed a red. He nodded, and handed it to Kagome. She went back into the hut, and brought out four cups. She poured the mixer soda into the four cups, and handed them out. Inuyasha tried it, and immediately liked it.
The sun slowly descended the sky as they finished the last drop of the soda. By then, all of them were completely wasted, well except for Inuyasha because he's a hanyou. Kagome giggled, and they played another game of Truth or Dare.
"Okay, Miroku, Truth or Dare?" Kagome asked him as she hiccupped. He swayed back and forth as he pondered about his decision.
"Ummm…Dare."
"Okay, uhh…I dare you to…make out with that tree over there!" She said, pointing at the large oak. Miroku stood up, and stumbled, causing Kagome and Sango to giggle, and then he actually did it. Kagome and Sango were cracking up. He finished, and then sat back down.
"O-okay, Sango, Truth or Dare?"
"Umm…truth."
"Sango, will you bear my child?"
"No," she said without even thinking. She was drunk, and still got past the womanizing monk. "Inuyasha, Truth or Dare?"
"Feh. I don't do this stupid stuff. I'm not playing."
"Yes you are," Sango argued with him.
"No I'm not."
"YES, you are!"
"NO, I'm not!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"WOULD EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY THE FREAKIN GAME?!" Kagome yelled at everyone. The camp got really quiet.
"Fine, I'll play," Inuyasha said, "Just so Sango will shut her big mouth."
"Thank you," Kagome said.
"Inuyasha, Truth or Dare?"
Inuyasha pondered this question for a brief second before answering, "Truth."
"Inuyasha, do you love Kikyo?"
"Uuuugggghhh…"
"You have to answer it, Inuyasha," Kagome said, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Well, I don't…really know."
"Hey, that's good enough f-for m-me," Miroku said, slurring most of his words. Inuyasha turned a deep shade of crimson.
"Miroku, Truth or Dare?" He asked, wanting his turn to be over with.
"T-t-truth."
"Miroku, do you think that your Wind Tunnel will kill you?"
"Yep," he said, too drunk to listen to the question. "Kagome, Truth or Dare?"
"Umm…Dare."
"I dare you to…kiss Inuyasha."
"WHAT?"
Even though she was drunk, she still felt very uncomfortable about this dare. She looked up at Inuyasha, and he was staring down at her, bug-eyed. Kagome pulled her hair out of her face, and looked down at the ground.
"No," she said. Inuyasha looked as though he had just been told that there was no more ramen left in the world. (A/n: Oh, no, that's terrible!) He didn't want to kiss her, yet he felt horrible when she said no.
"Fine, then if you don't do it, then I'll make you do something worse with him."
Kagome's eyes widened. She liked Inuyasha, in fact she loved him, but doing that was just too much.
"Fine, I'll do it."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha; she grabbed the back of his head to pull in, and kissed him. Inuyasha was surprised for the most part. He also felt almost happy on the inside. She pulled away, and stared at him.
"Kagome," he whispered softly, and she grabbed his hand. She looked at him, her eyes full of lust. Suddenly, Kagome started to float up.
"Inuyasha, what's happening?" She asked as their grip slowly separated. Kagome had a panicked look on her face, and Inuyasha wanted to help her, but couldn't.
He tried to pull her back down, but there was no use. She got up way too high, and disappeared behind a cloud. He heard her scream, and he jumped up into the air. She screamed again, and that one brought Miroku and Sango out of their drunken daze.
"Kagome!" Sango screamed, and she threw Kirara up into the air, transforming into a large ferocious beast. She and Miroku jumped on Kirara's back, and they followed Inuyasha.
Another scream was heard, practically breaking the sound barrier. Inuyasha jumped behind the cloud, and found Kagome lying on it, unconscious. Blood was running down her face and arms. She groaned, and Inuyasha kneeled next to her. He looked around for any sign of someone else lurking nearby.
He couldn't smell anyone but Kagome. Miroku and Sango were standing on the cloud. They were holding hands, and smiling. Sango and Miroku both giggled, and waved at Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Look, we got married!" Sango cried out, pointing to her ring finger. On it was a piece of dirt stuck to it. Miroku smiled, and rubbed Sango's rump. She giggled, and laid her head on his chest. (A/n: Eh hem… just so you know, THEY ARE STILL WASTED! WOOHOO!)
Inuyasha ran over, and picked Kagome up. As he jumped off the cloud, Kagome opened her eyes.
"I-I-Inuyasha? What's going on?"
"You were taken up to that cloud, and you had gotten injured. That's all I know. What happened up there?"
"He tried to hurt me," was all she could say, looking away from him.
"Who?"
"N-Naraku. He tried to…to…rape me."
Kagome then burst into tears. She buried her face into his hitoe, and sobbed. Inuyasha then noticed that her skirt was torn. He pulled her in closer, and landed on the ground. Miroku and Sango were still on that cloud, doing whatever they were doing.
Inuyasha went inside the hut, and placed Kagome softly on the ground. She didn't let go of his hitoe. He went into her bag, and grabbed the first aid kit.
"Kagome, you need to let go of me, or I can't help you." She slowly loosened her grip. Inuyasha remembered what medicines to use for what. He grabbed a bottle of alcohol, and said to Kagome, "This will sting, so be prepared."
He took a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, and slowly rubbed it across her cuts. She cringed in pain as he placed the bandages on. After he had finished cleaning the blood up, he brushed the hair out of her face. She laid her head in his lap, and he stroked her hair.
"Inuyasha, no matter how terrible I feel tomorrow, I want to leave this place. He might come back, and I don't want to be here when he does."
"Okay," Inuyasha said, knowing exactly what he meant.
Kagome laid her head in his lap, and she fell asleep.
&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome woke up to the wind blowing in her face. She sat up, and looked around. All five of them were sitting on Hachi, the beloved wolf-demon. Kagome sat up, and rubbed her forehead.
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled, and she flinched at how loud he was. He ran over and sat on her lap.
"How are you?"
"I'm not feeling that great. My head hurts, and so does my stomach," Kagome said, as she started to gag.
"Inuyasha! I think Kagome's going to hurl!"
He was right. Kagome turned a sickly shade of green, and Hachi lowered to the ground instantly. She jumped off the yellow tadpole, and threw up in the bushes. Inuyasha went over to comfort her.
After she finished, she cried in his arms.
"Inuyasha, it hurts!"
"What does?"
"My stomach…cramps."
He slowly rocked her as she cried. Shippo just stared at them. After a few minutes, Kagome fell asleep in his arms. Inuyasha laid her right beside Shippo. They took off into the air again.
Hachi stopped flying, and Inuyasha looked up.
"What's wrong, Hachi?"
"I sense a demon presence nearby."
Miroku and Sango woke up. They rubbed their heads and looked at each other, then Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha," Miroku said, "What's going on?"
"There's a demon nearby. I'll be back," he said, smirking as he jumped off Hachi's back. He hopped through some trees, and out of sight.
Sango looked at Kagome. She slowly shook her awake. Kagome opened her eyes.
"W-What's going on? Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah, but Inuyasha went off to fight a demon," she said. As soon as she said that, there was a large explosion. Kagome stared at it, whispering, "Inuyasha."
Sango took off on Kirara and went after in search of Inuyasha. Kagome sat there with no expression on her face.
"Kagome? Kagome? Are you alright?" Miroku asked her. She never answered him because she never heard him. Her mind raced with pictures of Inuyasha. She never saw Sango return with a grave look on her face. She whispered to Miroku, and he touched Kagome's shoulder.
She turned, and looked at him.
"Kagome, we…we can't seem to find Inuyasha."
"No," she whispered, "NO!"
"Kagome, I'm sorry."
They searched for him for three days, but no luck. Kagome asked them to bring her back to the village, and they were sitting in Kaede's hut before they knew it. Kagome stood up, and walked to the well. She jumped in, not saying goodbye to anyone.
Climbing out of the well, she walked out of the mini-shrine, and went through her back door.
"Kagome, is that you?"
She didn't answer her mother's calling. She walked up to her room, and locked the door. Kagome did her homework, and laid on her bed.
Days went by and Kagome never set foot out of her room. She never shed a tear, and she just laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling.
Kagome's mom brought her lunch, and then left her alone. She returned to find a half-eaten bowl of rice, and some chewed up chicken.
"Thankfully, she's eating," Mrs. Higurashi whispered to herself one day. She took her lunch tray and went downstairs to clean it. There was a knock at the door. She opened it to find Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka.
"Hi, is Kagome here?"
Mrs. Higurashi decided that Kagome needed some friend support, and showed the girls to Kagome's room. She opened the door, and peered inside.
"Kagome, there are some visitors here to see you."
Kagome sat up, and without saying a word, she stood up, and hugged her mother. The three girls walked into the room. Mrs. Higurashi left the room.
"Hey, Kagome!" Ayumi said, and then frowning when she saw the reaction, "What's the matter?"
Kagome looked down and closed her eyes.
"Inuyasha."
"Oh, not that two-timing boyfriend again! You seriously need to dump him! He's no good for you Kagome," Eri said, sitting in the chair.
"Shut up. SHUT UP!" She yelled at her friends. They jumped when she snapped.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Yuka asked her.
"Inuyasha…he…DIED!" She yelled, bursting into tears. Instantly, all of her friends sat next to her to console her.
"Oh, we're so sorry, Kagome! We wouldn't have said that if we had known," Ayumi said, trying to make her stop crying.
"You know what? We should have a sleepover right here!" Eri said, trying to take Kagome's mind off Inuyasha. They all smiled and agreed, well, except for Kagome.
Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi tried their best to cheer Kagome up, but she never smiled, not once. They stayed the whole day, and they stood up to go at around seven. Kagome walked them outside. She looked at them, and tried her best to smile, but it came out as a grimace. Kagome was holding an old jar that her grandfather gave her. She wrapped her fingers around the lid tightly.
"Well, goodbye, Kagome!"
"Yeah, see you later!"
"I'll drop by to…AAAAAHHHH!" Ayumi screamed, pointing behind Kagome. Kagome turned around, and the jar slipped from her hands. The crash was so loud that it made everyone jump.
"How…but…you…Inuyasha?"
"What? I'm gone for a few days, and you totally forget about me?"
Kagome ran towards him, and wrapped him in a hug. Tears streamed down her face. He looked down at her, and then grasped his arms around her.
"So, you aren't dead?" Eri asked. Inuyasha looked up at Kagome's friends.
"If I was dead, do you think I would be standing here?" Eri blushed a deep shade of crimson.
"Inuyasha, when did you get back from that last fight?" Kagome asked him. She stared up into his golden eyes.
"About two days ago."
Kagome pulled away.
"You were gone for two days, and you didn't come see me?"
"Yeah, why?"
"INUYASHA, SIT!"
"GGAAAAAHHH!"
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"FOR MAKING ME THINK THAT YOU WERE DEAD TWO DAYS LONGER THAN I NEEDED TO! YOU INSIGNIFICANT JERK! I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF YESTERDAY! WHAT IF I HAD DONE IT? I WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW! UGGGGHHH! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
Inuyasha's head was now buried in six inches of cement. He groaned, and stood back up.
"Kagome? Why did you tell him to 'Sit'?" Eri asked her.
"Yeah, and why does he have dog ears?"
"Who is he, really?"
HA HA HA! A cliffie! If you review, then the next chappie might come quicker! SO REVIEW!
