A/n I am so sorry for not posting sooner this is a long chapter and didn't have much time this week between missions to write it but that's no excuse so here it is
Disclaimer do I really have to do this every chapter any ways I do not own inuyasha
Inuyasha quickly turns away before getting trapped shoot she's doing the face isn't she. Don't look, don't look, don't look inuyasha turns his head ever so slightly and gets a glimpse of her face damn it I looked, must…resist…the….face….no "Ok fine I'll go"
Kagome squeals and gives inuyasha a big hug "thank you Inuyasha now I want you to meet me after school tomorrow so we can get you ready"
"Why do I not like the sound of that?"Iinuyasha says as he thinks what have I gotten myself into?
Preparations
Confrontations
After Kagome told Inuyasha about the next day's events she went back home to take her long awaited bath without interruptions, afterwards she made herself a snack and proceeded to study for her English test, all the while worrying about how Inuyasha would act at the party aye what have I gotten myself into
OoOo
Back in feudal Japan Inuyasha just returned to Kaede's hut where Shippo was in the corner thoroughly enjoying his lollie and Miroku was just finishing up making the last batch of sutras
"So Inuyasha Shippo tells tell me that Kagome came back and wanted to ask you something" Miroku says nonchalantly with a lecherous grin on his face
"Yeah so what?" Inuyasha says slightly annoyed
"I'm just wondering what kind of question Kagome wanted to ask you where she needed to be alone" Miroku replies, his lecherous grin getting bigger
"You sick perverted bastard it's nothing like that" Inuyasha said getting ready to clobber him upside the head
Miroku got scared and put his arms up as a shield "ok, ok Inuyasha then what was it about"
"Feh she only wanted to ask me if I would go with her to some party or something like I would care about that sort of thing" replied Inuyasha
"So are you going" asked Shippo
"What do you think kit" Inuyasha said with his trade mark scowl
"What I think" Miroku said "you said no for some selfish reason she gave you the face and you caved into it"
Inuyasha sweat dropped anime style "how the hell could you possibly know that" he says having a good idea of who did it
Miroku sighed and said "Shippo told me"
"I knew it, why you little runt I'm going to get you" Inuyasha says as he chases the little kit around the village
After hitting Shippo in the head a few times, Inuyasha returned to his favorite tree and tried to remember when Kagome would get out of school before saying screw It and taking a nap
OoOo
The next day Kagome lazily got up from her desk where she fell asleep studying the night before, she yawned and looked at the clock to see that she had two hours left before she had to be at school. Knowing that she would not be able to go back to sleep Kagome got up and proceeded to bathroom to conduct her morning routine, after showering, brushing her teeth and hair she returned to her room to find her favorite hanyo sitting there.
"Inuyasha what are you doing here" Kagome says surprised to see him so early in the morning
"What, I don't need a reason to come here and make sure your safe" Inuyasha says with a scoff
"Let me guess, you forgot what time I get out of school didn't you" Kagome says with a sigh
Nervously Inuyasha says "no of course not you just always seem to get into trouble when I'm not around"
"I knew it, you might as well stay here today and maybe mom can help you get cleaned up for tonight" Kagome says as she takes her clothes out of her closet
"Wait what do you mean get cleaned up" Inuyasha says sounding confused
Kagome shakes her head and says "I mean take a bath and wash your clothes"
"I don't need a bath I just had one last week and my clothes are fine" Inuyasha stubbornly replies
Kagome new that if she argued with him she would not make it to school in time so she decided to take a long shot "Inuyasha can you just humor me just this once please"
Inuyasha started to think about it for moment and came to a conclusion "fine, sure, why not"
"Aww come on, wait what" Kagome says surprised by his unexpected answer
"I said I'll do it, but only because every time we argue I always get sat for some dumb reason" Inuyasha simply replies (he's learning)
"Oh makes sense" Kagome says then realizing something "wait did you just call me dumb" (maybe not [sighs])
"That's not what I meant and you know it"
"Ok fine but I have to get dressed and get some last minute studying in maybe you can go down stairs and help my mom with breakfast or something"
Inuyasha shrugs his shoulders thankful that he did not get sat and goes down stairs.
Kagome quickly got dressed and sat down to study some more, then she heard a knock on the door
Knock, knock
"Who's there?" Kagome asked
"Me" Inuyasha answered
"Me who?" Kagome asked back
"God damn it Kagome let me in, your mom already finished breakfast and asked me to give you a plate, now if your decent open the door"
Kagome opens the door and Inuyasha walks in with a half eaten plate of food and Kagome sweat drops anime style
I should have known Kagome thinks then says "you know you could have gotten yourself a plate"
"I know but it's more fun to eat off yours" Inuyasha says as Kagome gives him a death glare
Inuyasha sits down on kagome's bed and watches as Kagome eats her breakfast when she finishes Kagome goes right back to studying. Inuyasha get up and looks over her shoulder. Kagome notices this and decides to ignore this until he does something that completely and utterly confuses her.
Would you like any help with that" Inuyasha asked sincerely
'Umm no thanks Inuyasha you probably would not understand it any way, why don't you go take a nap of something" Kagome says trying to shake off her confusion
"Feh suit yourself" was Inuyasha's reply as he makes his way towards kagome's bed to take a nap "oh yeah, by the way, your mom says that its daylight savings time whatever that means"
"What are you serious?" Kagome yells as she looks at the clock and realizes that she now only has forty five minutes left until school
Kagome quickly picks up her books and stuffs them into her back pack "sorry Inuyasha I have to go, make sure you clean up I'll be back in about seven hours from now, and try to be on your best behavior tonight please no fighting"
"Wait what do you mean my best behavior I always behave" Inuyasha retorts
"Never mind I'll explain later right now I have to go" Kagome says as she heads out the door leaving Inuyasha sitting on her bed completely confused
When Kagome left Inuyasha ponders what he should do next and decides to take that nap, and right when he lays his head down on Kagome's pillow there was a knock on the door and Mrs. Higarashi comes in
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were sleeping I'll come back later" says Mrs. Higarashi as she turns to walk out
"Wait what is it that you wanted?" Inuyasha says surprised by what he was saying
"Well I was just wondering since you will be here all day would you mind helping out with a few things around the shrine"
"Sure why not, I have nothing better to do" Inuyasha says instantly regretting it because of the smirk Mrs. Higarashi gave him when he agreed
"Arigato Inuyasha I expect you down stairs in an hour, I'll make a list of things for to do" Mrs. Higarashi says as she walks out the room
When she leaves Inuyasha couldn't help but think why do I not have a good feeling about this
OoOo
As Kagome walks to school she starts to wonder how Inuyasha might react to all the people that would be at the party that night and doesn't notice three pairs of feet sneaking up behind her
"KAGOME" Ayumi ,Yuka and Eri yell when they were only three steps away scaring Kagome half to death causing her to turn quickly around and reach her hand behind back as if reaching for an arrow before realizing that she does not have her bow and that she must have looked quite ridicules in her fighting stance and quickly composes herself hoping nobody notices
The three girls burst out laughing causing Kagome to become agitated
"What was that for" Kagome says angrily
"Gomen nasie Kagome it was Yuka's idea and it was just so hilarious" Eri says holding her sides
"Yeah what was that stance you put yourself into" Yuka says also holding her sides
Oh no what to do
"It looked like a fighting stance of some sort, were you getting into your character before you left to day or something" Ayumi asks after finally composing herself
That's it, thank you Ayumi
"Yes that was exactly what I was doing" Kagome says nervously
"Really what are you going as" Yuka asks hopefully
"After you scared me half to death I don't think so" Kagome says with a slight laugh
"Aww come on Kagome please tell us we'll be your friends" the three of them ask
"You already are my friends" Kagome says be wildered be there childish antics
"Shoot you're right" and the three girls huddle together "ok Kagome how about this"
And the three put on their best puppy dog face and say please "Kagome won't you tell your best friends what you are you going to be tonight"
Damn it now I know how Inuyasha feels "ok I'll tell you, tonight I was planning on going as a priestess since I live at a shrine and everything"
"Really that's so cool I wish I thought of it" Ayumi says excitedly "And what about your boyfriend umm Inuyaka I think"
"Its Inu-yasha and he will probably be going as a hanyo dog type" kagome says noticing a familiar looking guy come up from behind the other three
"That's awesome can't wait to meet him" Yashi says causing the three girls to jump and Kagome to laugh
"Oh Yashi it's just you, you scared us" Ayumi says giving Yashi a stern look and slapping him in the shoulder
"I know and I'm sorry, so this must be Kagome it's a pleasure to meet you" Yashi says while holding out his hand
"It's nice to meet you too especially since you helped me pay them back for scaring me a little while ago" Kagome says while sizing Yashi up I can't help but think that I've seen this guy before, but where
Yashi laughs and says "umm you're welcome. Your friends have told me a lot about you I hope you're feeling better"
"Yes I'm feeling fine thank you for asking" Kagome says politely
"Have you figured out what you plan on going as tonight yet" Yashi asks curiously
"Kagome is going as a priestess and her boy friend Inu-yasha is going as a half dog demon" Yuka pipes in unable to control the drool reflex every time Yashi walks in
"Really you mean like in the story" Yashi says getting interested
"What story would that be Yashi?" Ayumi asked while Kagome starts looking nervous
"The one about the miko and the hanyo the story of the shikon jewel" Yashi explains happily
"I never heard that one what is it about" Eri asked with curiosity
"It's a story that has got everything: romance, comedy, tragedy, mystery, and adventure. It was one of my favorite stories growing up, my mother used to tell it to me all the time before she passed away" Yashi says with a look of nostalgia upon his face
"Gomen nasei we didn't know" Ayumi says putting a hand on his shoulder
"It's ok, it was a long time ago and the memories are happy ones so I don't mind bringing them up" Yashi says with a smile while rubbing his eye to hid the single tear that came out
"Any way where are we going to meet up tonight" Yashi asked
"Hmm good question Kagome and I don't know the way to the club. Kagome doesn't know where you live and my mom is having a business meeting at the house" Ayumi says trying to think of what to do
"I guess we will have to meet at the shrine. Is that ok with you Kagome" Yashi asked
"I guess so if that's the only option" Kagome replied "what time will you guys show up"
"Is seven ok" Yashi asked Ayumi and Kagome
"Fine with me" Ayumi replies
"I'm fine with it" Kagome also replies that should be plenty of time for inuyasha to get ready. I hope
"Then it's settled seven it is, I'll come over to your place at half past six so you can take me to the shrine" Yashi says to Ayumi
Just then the bell rings signifying that they had five minutes left until they would be late, and everyone runs to their homeroom class
OoOo
The rest of the day went uneventful, Kagome took her test and did not do so well, at lunch she found out that Yashi was going to go to the party as a ninja and Ayumi would go as a neko demon. At the end of the day Kagome proceeded to walk home and when she got there she was surprised to see the grounds were for lack of better word clean the grass was cut, weeds were pulled and it looked as though grandpa's storage shed was cleaned, she walked inside yelling
"Hay mom the place looks great did you have a cleaning service here today or something"
Then she notices Inuyasha laying down on the floor barley conscious covered in sweat with his shirt off and she runs up to him screaming "Oh my gosh, Inuyasha what happened to you"
"(G `asp) your mom… (Gasp) spring cleaning… (Gasp) slave driver… (Gasp) need… (Gasp) water… (Sighs)" Inuyasha managed to get out before completely passing out
Kagome quickly rushed to the kitchen to grab three glasses of water. One she dumped on Inuyasha's face which revived him causing him to sputter the other two glasses she handed to him to drink and he gulped them down faster than you could say dehydration. Just then Kagome's mom walked in and inuyasha quickly got up and hid behind kagome
"Mom what did you do to Inuyasha" Kagome yelled
"It was just a little spring cleaning" Mrs. Higarashi replied kindly
"What did you have him do exactly" Kagome says curious as to what could make Inuyasha pass out like that.
"Hmm let me see clean the attic, scrub the floors, mow the lawn, pull weeds, rake leaves, clean the storage closet, and clean the bathrooms. That's all" Mrs. Higarashi says simply
"Yeah then you told me if I got it done before Kagome got back you would make me ten cups of ramen" Inuyasha nearly shouted while pointing at her
Hearing this Kagome falls on the ground laughing
"What's so funny" Inuyasha demanded
"My mom succeeded where countless demons have failed, making you pass out from complete exhaustion" Kagome replied
"What? He said he could handle it" Mrs. Higarashi commented which only caused Kagome to laugh harder
Kagome was laughing for a good two minutes before she calmed downed enough to tell Inuyasha "ok Inuyasha its time for you to take a bath, and don't fight me on this you will lose" (like talking to a little kid)
Inuyasha flinched at her threatening tone and followed her to the bathroom. Where she looked through various cupboards and handed him a bar of soap, shampoo, and a loofa. Then she instructed him on how to use them. She then started the bath to a temperature similar to a hot spring, because that's most likely what he is used to. When the bath was ready kagome tells him
"Ok now I'm going to exit the room I want you to strip down and hand me your cloths through the crack so I can wash them"
Inuyasha reluctantly does what he is told and hands her his cloths through the crack he then takes a step into the tub and relishes in the warmth as he picks up the soap and the loofa proceeds to wash his body and hair. Then Kagome calls through the door almost giggling "don't forget to wash behind those cute ears" (grrr) she is making fun of me
Mean while Kagome takes his clothe to the laundry room and puts them in the washer/drier setting it to the proper settings as to not shrink it and then she returns to the feudal era to pick up her bow arrows and a kimono from one of the local shops, after saying hi to Miroku Sango, who just returned five minutes prior, and Shippo giving him a huge jaw breaker
After fifteen or so minutes Inuyasha finishes up the best he could, dries himself off with a towel then walks to Kagome's room with the towel around his waist to find out where Kagome left his clothes. After about ten more minutes of searching Kagome returns home to find her room a complete mess
"INUYASHA what have you done" Kagome screams trying to hold in the urge to sit him
"I'm trying to look for my cloths. What did you do with them?" Inuyasha says while still in his towel
"I put them in the washing machine" Kagome says before realizing that Inuyasha probably doesn't know what that is
"And what the hell is that" Inuyasha yells
"It's a machine used to clean dirty cloths, and yours should be ready in about a half hour" Kagome explains
"Great and what am I going to wear till then" Inuyasha asked being slightly annoyed
"Hold on" Kagome sighs as she leaves the room and comes back with a bath robe and throws it at him
"Here put that on, I'm going to check on your clothes and I expect you to straighten out this room before I get back" Kagome says while she turns to go out the hears Inuyasha mumble something that sounded like slave driving wench "what was that"
"I didn't say anything" Inuyasha replied
"Yeah right SIT" Kagome says before closing the door
After hearing the thud that was Inuyasha hitting the floor Kagome went down to the basement to put Inuyasha's clothes into the dryer, and sat there with a book waiting for it to be done. Thirty minutes later the buzzer went off and the clothes were done, she then picked them out of the dryer and headed back to her room to find it spotless and Inuyasha sleeping on her bed. Kagome had a sudden idea and put the clothes on her chair then walked up to Inuyasha's ear and blew gently on it
"Hmm give me back my pokey" Inuyasha says in his sleep
Kagome suppressed a laugh and tried it again
"Arr don't stop"
It was getting harder for Kagome to hold in her laughter but she obeyed and did it again
"Ohh I love you K ngggg" Inuyasha says with a snore
Kagome gasped and looked on with shock was he about to say my name, no wait he loves Kikyo that's who he was dreaming about Kagome balls up a fist and shakes Inuyasha awake
"Huh what, what's going on" Inuyasha says while reaching for his sword
"You were sleeping, now get dressed we have some things to go over before the party tonight" Kagome says angrily
Inuyasha flinched and did what he was told afraid of the death glare kagome was giving him, and they spent the next few hours discussing the dos and don'ts of how to behave at the party
OoOo
Four hours later Inuyasha's brain was hurting from all the different rules of society that Kagome made him memorize. Kagome looked at the clock and realized that Ayumi and Yashi would be their shortly
"Ok I'm going upstairs to change if they show up before I come down, you can answer the door just try to be nice" Kagome says while heading for the stairs
But fortunately, Inuyasha did not get the chance to answer any doors because fifteen minutes later Kagome came down the stairs and Inuyasha's jaw dropped. Kagome was wearing a light blue kimono with a pink sakura blossom hexagonal design; her hair was tied back with a ribbon that matched the kimono and she had red lip gloss, she also had her bow and a quiver of arrows slung across her back. Kagome noticed inuyasha's mouth opened and let out a light giggle
"You know if you leave your mouth open like that you're going to catch flies" Kagome comments sweetly
Before Inuyasha could retort the doorbell rang and Kagome went to answer it, When she opened it there stood Ayumi in her cat demon costume it was black and white complete with tail, claws that looked almost real, whiskers and she even went as far as putting caps on her teeth making it look like fangs and cats eye contacts, if Ayumi wasn't her friend kagome would have thought she was a real cat demon.
Right behind Ayumi stood Yashi with his ninja costume which looked almost exactly Songo's slayer outfit, it was also black with a grayish black mask much like Songo's gas mask and he had what looked like twin katana strapped to his back.
They both stepped in and Ayumi exclaimed "oh Kagome you look so beautiful now I really wish I thought of it first"
"But yours looks so real if I didn't know better I would say you where a real demon" Kagome praised
While the two girls exchanged praises for each other's costume Yashi and Inuyasha were sizing each other up then Yashi takes off his mask and holds out his hand saying "so you must be inuyasha, I heard a lot about you. My names Yashi it's a pleasure to meet you"
Inuyasha looks at the other guys hand about to turn it down when he remembered what Kagome said about being nice and took a "firm" grasp on it
"Hmm you have a strong grip there" Yashi says sounding amused "unfortunately it's not strong enough" and Yashi tightens his grip on Inuyasha's hand
Wow! This guy is strong. I will not lose a strength match to a human and Inuyasha tightens his grip as well
Kagome was watching this and was about to tell Inuyasha off when she felt Ayumi's hand on her shoulder
"(Sigh) let them be, you know how guys are when they get together always trying to outdo each other" Ayumi says while shaking her head and the two made their way to the kitchen muttering something that sounded like BOYS
In the kitchen Ayumi and kagome plotted against their dates on to get them flustered that night when Ayumi said "Hmm I'm hungry do you have anything to eat"
Kagome thinks this over then remembers the ramen in the cupboard she walks over to it and takes out four bags holding them out to Ayumi. Ayumi smiles and puts water in the kettle to heat on the stove
Five minutes later inuyasha and Yashi were still going at it trying to break each other's grip, neither one wanting to give in. When a very enticing smell enters there nasal passages, and they both look towards the kitchen where the smell was coming from, then looked back at their hands which they still grasped, they then looked up into each other's face, and yashi nods his head towards the kitchen door and inuyasha nods his head in agreement. They both break contact at the same time and head to the kitchen together.
In the kitchen Yashi and Inuyasha enter to find Kagome and Ayumi sitting down eating ramen and Kagome asked the two "so you guys who won"
"Neither of us did" Inuyasha replied
"Yeah we smelled ramen" Yashi said looking hopeful at the two extra bowls on the table
Kagome shakes her head and scoffs as she hands the two the extra bowls she pre made for them saying "arrg I'll never understand boys"
"And probably never will" Ayumi comments as the two boys attack there bowls of ramen finishing at the same time saying "More"
Then Inuyasha and Yashi send glares at each looking like they are ready to fight when a smirk forms on both of their faces and they fall on the ground laughing
Kagome and Ayumi looked on with stunned faces and not knowing what else to do joined in with the laughter. And the laughter died down after about five more minutes and Yashi says "no seriously we want more"
At this the two girls started laughing again and Inuyasha and Yashi were forced to help themselves. After about five more bowls each they decide it was time to head out. They got into Mrs. Higarashi's car with Inuyasha in the front and left for the party
