DISCLAIMER! I do not own InuYasha or his friends! They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi -.-
I wake up to the smell of breakfast. Rice, egg, and veggies. I glance at the clock and it's 10am. Geeze, that's not much for sleeping in. I look about and see everyone starting to get up. InuYasha isn't on the couch. Something next to me moves and I look over and reach under the blanket and grab his hair.
"What are you doing?" I demand, slightly confused. When did he get on the floor?
"Uhhmmm.. I probably fell off the couch." He said tentatively. His face looked truthful enough. He used to sleep walk all the time when he was younger. Obviously he didn't grow out of it.
"Breakfast everyone!" His mother announces from the kitchen in the most happiest voice ever. She's never cross, or sad. Or atleast not when they have visitors. She's a nice lady, we've all known her since we were little, she's like a second mom to everyone. After breakfast we all pack up our stuff and go out side.
"It's so wonderful outside!" Rin points out as Sesshomaru joins us on the lawn.
"Yeah, espcially after that storm last night." Koga adds, as we sit down.
"Is this where all you escaped to?" Miroku says jokingly as he walks down the steps to stand next to Sango.
"We were trying to hide from you Miroku and your creepy monk ways." Ayame jokes sticking her tongue out at him.
"Is that anyway to treat a friend, dear Aya?" He says almost hurt sounding. While his hand strays to someones backside..
"MIROKU!" Sango screams as her flying hand lands directly on his left cheek.
"Owie..!" He manages to get out in a squeak.
I try not to laugh as Sango goes off on him. Poor Miroku, he'll never get her attention that way.
"Take me home." Sango states rather angrily.
"What?" Miroku asks slightly confused.
"NOW!" She yells in his face.
"Uh, alright.." He answers. His face sad and heart has sunk. I gather my things and we all pack up the car and go home. I wanted to stay a little longer with InuYasha, but Miroku was my only way home, since my family decided to take a vacation for four days, without me.
I unpack my things and put them away. I start on some of my homework that's due Monday. I wish I had something to do. It's 10:45 and I still have all day. I grab a handfull of some Koalas March and head back upstairs, hoping for something to happen to get me out of the house. It's nice outside, but no one to hang out with. Miroku and Sango are in bad moods, and Aya and Koga are out having a run, and Rin is still with Sesshomaru. Ughh, I don't like being left alone all day. I go crazy.
Mid thought my phone goes off. A text? I flip it open and it's from Sango.
"Kagome! Oh Kami save me! I've got the chicken pox!"
Poor Sango! She's only had it a million times already!
"Don't worry Sango, use that oatmeal lotion I bought you, it'll help the itchyness." I reply quickly.
"Thank you Kagome! You're a life saver! I almost forgot that I have it."
I leave our conversation at that and hope for the best. I look back at my almost finished homework and my phone beeps again. Was it Sango again? Or is it Rin? I flip it open to see it was from InuYasha. Hmm, I wonder why.
"Hey Kagome, would it be okay if we could hang out? I can come get you, if it's okay." - InuYasha.
Strange. I thought as I re read it. Why does he want to hang out? I spent the night, we talked a little, maybe he wants to talk more though.
"That sounds fine, what time?" I reply back, hoping I didn't take too long to respond.
"11:30, is that alright?" He asked. I look at the clock and it's 11:10 already. I need to shower and feed Boyu, I think I have enough time to do that.
"Sure, see you then." I reply and run to take my shower.
I'm glad she agreed to hang out with me. I want to know her better. We used to be close, but now it seems like I don't really know her anymore. It's been 4 years since we talked and I want to make it up to her.
I head to my car and get in. I hadn't noticed I'd been holding my breath. I take a deep breath and relax as I start my Corvette. I don't wanna mess this up.
I get dressed and brush my hair. I have 5 minutes to spare, phew. I grab some money and stuff it in my pocket and go outside just in time to see him pulling up in his new black Corvette. It looks similar to Mirokus but his has pruple stipes down the side. No doubt he probably bought it for him.
I thought to myself as I got in his car.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"To the store. You like milk coffee right?" He asks.
"It's my favorite." I reply with a small smile.
We arrive at the store and I wandered the aisles looking for Pokies, Koalas March, and Milk Coffee. I find the snacks and make my way to the cooler section. My favorite song came on over the speakers above me and I sang the chorus softly.
"Mou ichido ano koro ni modorou
Kondo wa kitto daijoubu
Itsumo soba de waratteiyou
Anata no sugu soba de
Anata wa ima doko de nani wo shite imasu ka
Kono sora no tsuzuku basho ni imasu ka
Itsumo no you ni egao de ite kuremasu ka
Ima wa tada sore wo negai tsuzukeru."
"You always did love to sing." InuYasha says smiling at me. I feel my face start to get hot and turn away. He grabs a can of Khaos and we make our way to the check out.
We walk down to the center park of town and sit under a tree. The breeze was soft and soothing along with the warming sun. It feels like it's still summer. We talk about old times and how we used to be, and what we did during the time we didn't speak. I look over at him to see him looking across the way. His golden eyes almost reflecting the sun, and his silver air shifts with the breeze. It's like a picture perfect moment. This is what I wanted to see. His calm side that I missed so dearly.
He glances at me from the corner of his eye. How long have I been gazing at him? Long enough for him to notice.. I grab his can of Khaos and it's still half full.
"Hey! That's mine!" He whines, sounding like a little kid. He reaches for it and I chug part of it.
"Too slow InuYasha!" I tease. He lunges for it and it flies everywhere.
"You owe me one now." He says pouting like a small child.
"Oh whatever, I do not." I reply shoving him slightly.
"That's what you think." He states with a smirk. I hold back a laugh as I push him over and sit on him.
"No, it's what you think." I say cunningly. He just looks at me, slightly confused, and amused.
That's the Kagome I remember. Just like old times. I've missed this, being friends, and being able to say and do what we want.
Our eyes lock and we gaze at each other. So much emotion has been locked up in him, and now it's all coming through. He reaches his hand up and touches my cheek. I lean into it slightly and put my hand on his. This is how it's supposed to be, when friends become lovers.
She closes her eyes and smiles. She's the perfect image of peace. I wish we could stay this way, always.
I open my eyes and put my hand on his chest to feel his strong and steady heart beat. He sits up and I pull him into me and he kisses me. His lips taste the same, just like they did so long ago. He's still the same sensitive, childish boy that I love. I break the kiss and we stand up. He takes my hand we walk back to his car. I look out the window as we drive down the street. Small specs of rain land on the windsheild and the wipers come on. *Swish swish* back and forth they go. It's qiuet in the car, but it's a comforting quiet. We arrive at my house and I get out. He walks around the car and takes my hand, and kisses me one last time before I run through the rain and into my house. I watch him drive off from my window and get into some dry clothes. My phone rings, and it's Ayame.
"Hey Aya!" I answer cheerfully.
"Did I just see what I think I just saw?" She screaches through the phone.
"Uhh. I don't know?" I ask trying not to laugh.
"Are you guys dating now?" She asked intruiged by what was seen outside.
"No, not really." I asnwer truthfully. It's not official, I thought to myself.
"Alrighty then! Well, you guys looked cute through my window." She replys laughing at me.
"Do you know what time it is?" I ask suddenly.
"Hmm. It is... 3:30, young lady! Way past your evening nap!" She jokes.
"Ha! Thanks Aya, I'll see you guys tomorrow." I respond laughing at her.
"Alrighty then!" She chirps as we hang up.
Oh man! It's 3:30? I was gone that long? I need to feed Boyu and finish that mound of homework and make dinner.
I throw food in the cat bowl and run upstairs to attack my homework. I have Advanced Algebra 2, 2nd class Government, and two papers in English 3.
I tackle math first, it's the easiets, then Gov, and English.
I let out a sigh as I look over at the clock and it's already 8:45. I need to atleast eat a snack before I go to bed.
I make my way down the stairs and grab an apple from the counter and a glass of orange juice. Now that I've eaten, I feel more tired then before. I thought to myself as I trudged up stairs and flopped on my bed.
