Chapter 3: Late
"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck! We're late!" Ali shot up to her feet with her book bag in her hands. "How long were you two fighting?"
Natalie took that in thought. "Two hours? I think…" Ali exploded.
"You spent two hours preaching him on cussing?" Ali pointed to Inuyasha.
"Yes and by the way I'm gonna chew you out for cussing also!"
"I don't care! You just made us extremely late because you can't go one measly minute without striking an argument with somebody!" Ali's dad walked out of the house with the trash.
"Now what are you girls arguing about? And aren't you supposed to be at school?"
"Yes we are. But since Nat had to get in an argument." Ali glared at Natalie with stone cold eyes. "We are now late. And mom has the car today. Doesn't she."
"Yep. She will be gone all day." Ali's dad sighed. "Guess you are staying home today. Unless you wanna run to school…"
"Nope! I'm staying home" Ali's dad laughed and walked back inside. Totally oblivious to the hanyou that was standing next to Ali.
"Well I'm gonna call my mom. Tell her it's a girl's day out and that we will be going to the mall instead of school." Natalie pulled out her cell phone and pressed her mom on speed dial.
"Yeah. Like she will buy that. Movie on me says she will chew you out." Ali laughed.
"Deal!" Natalie put the cell to her ear and walked to the backyard to get a better signal. Leaving Ali and Inuyasha to talk to each other.
"What's a movie?" Inuyasha asked. Curiosity over taking his face. He heard Kagome mention it once…
"Well…a movie is basically a moving picture. You add sound to it and color and boom. You've got a movie." Ali always used her hands when talking and when she made an imaginary explosion with her hands she hit a wall. Now her hand hurt immensely but she didn't show it.
"Oh…" Inuyasha played with his thumbs. He had heard this girl hit her hand hard enough to fracture it. Yet, she showed no signs of pain. Was she part demon? He took in her scent. No. she was a human. But she smelled enchanting. Like…fruits and water lily's…he had never smelled anything like it.
Natalie walked back with a huge grin on her face. Something told Ali she had lost the bet…"Well?" Ali asked with an uneasy feeling in her gut.
"You lost. Now come on. I want to get there before they sell out of Blue Valentine!" (Yes that is a real movie. I looked it up) Ali groaned.
"But that's so freaking girly! Do I have to go?"
"Yes! You betted the movie and you lost! Now go inside get your money and let's go!"
"Fine" Ali grumbled and took hers and Natalie's bag and went inside.
"What's Blue Valentine?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's the most girliest, sappiest movie in the world. Ali hates those kinds of movies." Natalie's grin grew wider. "And I bet you hate those kinds of movies too!"
"I've never been to a movie before…what's sappy?" Inuyasha was absolutely confused.
Natalie smacked her palm to her forehead. "You have got to come with us then." Ali walked out of the house with her wallet and bus card. "Ok Nat. I'm ready for you to murder me with the movie. But you're buying the snacks."
Natalie thought about that for a second. "Fine. But Inuyasha has to come too. He already agreed to it."
"I did no such thing!" Inuyasha argued.
"Too bad!" Natalie smirked. She linked arms with Ali and Inuyasha. "Come on!"
~on the bus~
Inuyasha whispered to Ali. "Why are these people staring at me?"
Ali who was sitting next to him off of Natalie's demand just giggled. "Well first of all, it might have to do with your clothing. Or how long your hair is. Or how you have dog ears that I want to touch again!" Ali started messing with Inuyashas ears.
Inuyasha smacked the hand away yet again. "Women I swear if you touch my ears again I will rip your arm off."
Alis face went grim. "well excuse me if I imagine my dead dog when I look at your ears!" Ali hissed before looking out the window to hide her tears.
But Inuyasha could smell the salt. He knew he had made this girl cry. "Oh please don't cry. I didn't mean t-"
"I am not crying" Ali simply said. The rest of the bus ride was silent and awkward. Inuyasha didn't know what was in store for him at the movies though.
~at the movie^^~
"two for Blue Valentine please." Natalie said to the ticket booth cashier. The women looked in her mid 2os and extremely bored. She nodded and handed Natalie the tickets. Ali handed her the money and they went inside. Inuyasha got everyone's attention.
Inuyasha smelled the air of this movie place the girls called a theater. He could smell corn and butter. And various types of meats and spices and cheese. He started to separate some smells of the many human in the movie theater. The girls dragged him to the thing Ali called a concession stand. There a little boy kept staring at him. Inuyasha bent down and whispered in the boy's ear, "if you keep staring you won't be able to blink again." Inuyasha smiled. The little boy started to cry and his mom glared at Inuyasha. Ali smacked him upside the head and gave him a scolding look. "What?" his smile disappeared.
"I hope you're happy."
"With what?"
"You just scared that poor little boy for maybe the rest of his life!" Ali shoved a soda into his hands and grabbed the popcorn. Natalie was walking with two other sodas and a box of candy. Natalie walked down the short hallway of the theater to the room that the movie was showing in. A li was next to Natalie and Inuyasha trailed behind.
"Back row seats!" Ali said and started her way to the seats in the back row. Nobody else was in the room but Ali, Natalie, and Inuyasha.
"Wonder why no one else is in here…" Natalie said to mostly herself but since the room was empty it echoed.
"Because Blue Valentine is the sappiest movie ever! No one wants to watch it except newlyweds and you!" Ali laughed after she said that and took her seat. Nathalie sat in the middle between Inuyasha and Ali.
"Shhhh! The movie is starting!" The lights grew dark.
Inuyasha was confused. "Is it night already?" As soon as he said that he regretted it. He got twin shhh's by the two girls. 'I was just asking a question…' The movie started. He sat in silence not wanting to get shhhed again.
~after the movie~
"That was the worst movie ever! I can't believe you made me sit through that!" Ali whined and through away the empty popcorn bag. Inuyasha had eaten most of the popcorn saying it was almost as good as instant ramen. They were on their way to the entrance.
"You're just saying that because you don't like sappy movies." Natalie finished off the last of her soda.
"Yep. I like action packed movies." Ali's phone started ringing. "Forgot I had this on." She answered it. "Hello?" 'Ali? Get home now!' "But I'm at the movies still!" 'I don't care. Get home now!' "Ok mom. Im on my way." She hung up and sighed. "I have to go."
"Well come on then. Let's go." Natalie linked arms with ali and they walked to the door and to the bus stop. Inuyasha choose to run back to the house. So with that Ali and Natalie got onto the bus and made the long ride home.
Hey its your author here. Sorry for all the time lapses. Time just got away from me and I ran out of time. You didn't miss much though. A silent wait for a bus. A silent bus ride. And a very bad movie. Nothing missed. Hope you liked! ^~w~^
