The sun shone through the paper door and blinded Kiki as she sat up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. She smiled when she saw that Tukiko, Sessho-maru, Suki, Kasumi, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Kagome were still asleep, but grimaced when she saw that InuYasha was wide awake.
And staring right at her.
"What do you want?" she whispered across the room.
"An annoying spoiled brat," he said, louder, and with a straight face.
"You might need a mirror for that," she scoffed, and crossed her arms. His brow furrowed and he walked up to her. She stood up so he was at least a foot taller than her. Her arms were crossed, her hip was out, and she had an annoyed put on her face.
"You're nothing but a selfish little child!" InuYasha yelled at her.
"Look who's talking!" Kiki shouted back.
All of the shouting woke everybody else up. They just sat there and watched the argument progress. Kiki shouted really loud at InuYasha and he shouted back just as loud. Finally, Kasumi couldn't take it anymore.
"Will you two cut it out?!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
There was immediate silence in the small hut.
Kasumi sighed. "Well, now that we're all up, maybe we can eat some breakfast."
"I'm not eating with her!" shouted InuYasha (Is it just me, or do they do a lot of shouting?) (Just wondering...) and emphasized his statement by pointing directly at Kiki.
"Well, you don't have to!" Kiki shouted, anger evident in her voice.
"Why? Are you leaving?" InuYasha said, hopeful.
"No, but you can." Kiki smiled and made Tukiko giggle. Kasumi shot her a death glare and she coughed her giggle back up.
"If you two are going to fight, do it where we don't have to listen to it," Sessho-maru said in his usual monotone, having had enough of their petty argument and shoving them both outside.
For a while they just stood there, not saying anything or even looking at each other. Then InuYasha did something very unlike him.
"I'm sorry..." he muttered.
"What?" Kiki said, disbelievingly.
"I said I'm sorry!" he said a little louder.
Kiki smiled and walked over to him. She threw her arms around him. "I'm sorry," she whispered. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. Kiki rested her head on InuYasha's chest. They heard footsteps behind them.
Kiki looked up to see an angry looking Kasumi with her hands on her hip snot too far away. Little Suki poked her head out from behind her. Kasumi walked up behind InuYasha and pinched his ear between her fingers, almost smashing his face into the ground.
"InuYasha!" she yelled. "I leave you alone for only a few minutes and you behave like that?! You should be ashamed of yourself! You're both too young for anything like that! Good god!" She dragged him back to the village, leaving Kiki to stare after them with Suki standing beside her.
"Your mom's a worry wart, Suki. I hope you know that."
"Yeah, I know," Suki replied. "Just be glad that you're not her daughter!"
"Come on Suki, we better get back before she starts to yell at us too," Kiki said, and she and Suki walked back to the village.
When they got there, Kasumi was having a stern talk with InuYasha about what's appropriate and what isn't, and everybody else was having breakfast. Miroku sleepily picked up a piece of French toast with a fork and started to jam it into his cheek continuously. Sango rolled her eyes and reached across the table. She grabbed Miroku's hand and directed it into his mouth.
"Thanks..." he mumbled.
"No problem," she giggled.
Kiki sat down and poked her fork into the piece of French toast from the plate Kagome had just set down in front of her. She popped it into her mouth and spat it back out.
"Holy Moses, what is this?!" she shouted.
"It's my homemade French toast. Don't you like it?" Kagome's lip trembled.
"Yeah, it's great!" Kiki said, trying not to sound sarcastic.
"I think it tastes like crap," InuYasha said, examining the French toast.
"You know what? I can't take him anymore!" Kiki pointed to InuYasha who furrowed his brow and made a low growl. "I'm going out. Be back later." Kiki walked out of the hut.
