Chapter 4: Prophecy Explained Part One
InuYasha woke up to, "WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT KAMI DAMNED PAPER!"
InuYasha glanced at his alarm clock. "What the hell is Dad doing up at 2:49 in the freaking morning…?"
On his beside table, his phone buzzed. "Hello?"
"Does your dad have to yell so loud?" a groggy voiced asked him. It was Kagome.
"Apparently…Sleep…"
"I ((Yawn)) need ((yawn)) sleep…" Kagome muttered.
InuYasha said, voice thick from sleep, "Then go to sleep. I think Dad has a meeting in the morning with Onigumo Inc."
Kagome said, "Isn't your company Takahashi Inc.?"
InuYasha said, "Yeah…" He sat up in bed and turned on his light. Out of his window he saw Kagome do the same. "Awake now?" he asked sarcastically.
"Yeah. You?"
"Sad to say, awake. Oh. Hey. Dad's shouting again."
"AND WHERE THE HELL IS THAT SCROLL! IZAYOI, I SWEAR YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT IT!"
Izayoi shouted back, "WHO IS THE MIKO THAT STUDIED THAT KAMI DAMED PROPHECY EVER SINCE SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT IT! IT SURE AS HELL AIN'T YOU INUTAISHO TAKAHASHI!"
Kagome whistled. "Wow. Your mom's pissed."
Even though Kagome couldn't see InuYasha, she could imagine his cute little ears pinned flat against his head.
InuYasha said, "Can I come stay down there for awhile? They'll be at it until 9pm tonight…I'm willing to be anything except body parts and Tetsusaiga that they will still be at it then…"
Kagome chuckled. "Sure. You'll have to sleep in my room though. Sota wouldn't let you sleep and who knows what Mama'd do to you. You prob'ly wake up with pink hair…And make up."
InuYasha twitched. "Yeah. Your room sounds great."
Kagome said, "I'll open my door so you can come in."
"Thanks."
Kagome left the warmness of her bed and opened her sliding glass door that opened out onto a balcony just as her favorite hanyou hopped onto the balcony. "Hey, InuYasha," Kagome greeted as she let the young man into her room.
He smiled at her. "Hey yourself. Tired after yesterday?"
She nodded, rubbing her eyes. "Very. Who knew your mama was such a slave driver."
"Try living with her."
Kagome sat on the bed and laid back down, but InuYasha said, "Uh, wench, I get the bed."
Kagome opened her eyes to glare at him. "Hell. Fucking. No. You are on the floor Mister."
InuYasha retorted with, "Uh, how about hell no…"
They argued for a while until InuYasha said, "How about this. I get one side of the bed, you get the other."
Kagome nodded, rubbing her eyes again. "I get the side by the wall, though…"
InuYasha said, "OK. Works with me."
Kagome climbed back into bed and curled up next to the wall. InuYasha climbed in next to the raven haired beauty. Kagome muttered, "Night, InuYasha…"
"Night Kagome…"
Sometime in the night, Kagome rolled over closer to InuYasha. In his sleep, he put his arm around Kagome, pulling her closer to him. Neither of them knew what was going on, but as Kagome's mother crept up the stairs to check on her daughter, she saw Kagome and InuYasha snuggled together in the middle of the bed. She turned off the alarm.
Kyoko grinned and sneaked back downstairs to make a phone call.
Downstairs, Kyoko looked at the time. 7:30 am. InuYasha and Kagome had just missed their bus.
Kyoko was just about to pick up the phone and call Izayoi when Izayoi called her. "Kyo! Have you seen InuYasha! We can't find him anywhere!"
Kyoko smiled. "Don't worry, Izzy. I know exactly where InuYasha is. Asleep with Kagome in his arms."
"Oh…He must have heard us fighting last night, and went to sleep down there where there wasn't so much noise. We were kinda loud weren't we?"
Kyoko smirked. "'Kinda loud?' I think the world heard you be 'kinda loud'."
Izayoi chuckled. "Yeah…Anyway, aren't InuYasha and Kagome supposed to be on the bus into school?"
"They overslept Kagome's alarm apparently. It's set for 6:30, and neither woke up. I went to check up on Kagome. I found her in InuYasha's arms, sleeping like a baby."
Izayoi said, "I meant to ask you something. You remember the prophecy your dad always was harping on us about?"
Kyoko said, "How could I forget? So what's up about it?"
"Kagome and InuYasha are the people in the prophecy. I'm willing to bet everything. Remember, the prophecy said, 'The battle I lose, my reincarnate will win. She and her hanyou lover will kill the spider, the bane of her existence. After the first time she heals him they will be able to feel each other's pain, feelings, everything. This will go away after they defeat the spider. It will hinder, yet help them. The hanyou will have silver hair. She will have raven black hair. They will have many friends to help them. A inuyoukai and his mate who will be a miko, a he-wolf, his mate who will be a she-wolf, a monk, and a slayer.' I can name them all from who Kagome has talked about. The inuyoukai: Sesshomaru. His mate: Rin. The he-wolf: Koga Ookami. The she-wolf: Ayame Kawasaki. The monk: InuYasha's friend, Miroku Lin. He's a monk, and a perverted one at that. The slayer: Sango Yue. It fits too. After the first time Kagome healed InuYasha, Inutaisho and InuYasha were fighting. InuYasha got cut on his upper arm, and Kagome felt it. He almost had his arm hacked off and she sure as hell felt it. The minute she healed him, the pain went away. It just proved to me, she is the miko in the prophecy," Izayoi said. "And I'll call Kagome in sick for you. Send them up when you go to work."
"Thanks Izzy. That'd be great. And I think your right about the prophecy. I never thought Kags'd be the miko though…"
"And I never thought InuYasha would be the hanyou…I'll send Kagome back tonight about 6:30ish, if every thing goes according to plan. By the way, you don't mind if I play match maker, do you?"
"No. Why should I?"
"Good. If what you said is true, the prophecy is already being fulfilled."
"Yeah. But who's the spider?"
"I don't know, Kyo. I truly don't."
Author's POV with Kagome and InuYasha
Kagome was the first to stir. She felt something tighten around her waist. It was warm too. She snuggled closer to the thing. She opened her eyes and saw someone's chest. She had no idea who's it was but if freaked her the hell out.
She pushed the person away and he landed on the floor with a thump.
The boy mumbled, "Mom, I'm up. No need to shove me outta bed…"
Kagome looked at the boy on the floor.
The boy had silver hair, dog ears, claws and fangs.
Kagome's eyes widened. What the hell was going on! Kagome said, "InuYasha, wake up. Now."
His eye fluttered open. "The square root of 2 is about 1.414, Totosai-san!"
Kagome snorted with laughter. "I am not Old Totosai, InuYasha! Now get your lazy ass up before we're late for…school… InuYasha…Please tell me I'm hallucinating and that the clock does not say 11:10…"
InuYasha looked at his cell phone. "SHIT! WE'RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
Kagome started digging through her drawers. "Dammit! Where the fuck is my uniform!" She paused for a moment as did InuYasha. "Wait just one freaking minute here. WHY THE HELL WERE YOU IN MY BED!"
InuYasha said, "Remember, you invited me over last night, because my parent were shouting at each other."
Kagome smiled embarrassedly. "Oh. Yeah. I forgot about that…"
InuYasha smirked at her. "Yeah. Clumsy wench."
Kagome glare could have burnt the house down until InuYasha's cell rang, scaring the both of them out of their minds. It was Izayoi. She said, "InuYasha, I called you and Kagome in sick, so I don't have to drive you to school."
"Uh…Why?" InuYasha asked his mom.
"Because, Mrs. Higurashi told me about you and Kagome. So…When's the wedding? Maybe we could do a double wedding with you and Kagome and Sesshomaru and Rin. Sounds like a plan to me!"
InuYasha said, "Mom. I'm fifteen and dating Kikyo! I'm not getting married!" he thought about seeing Kik—no Kagome—walking up the aisle towards him. "At least, not any time soon…"
Izayoi smirked. She knew exactly what her son was thinking of. Kagome. "Anyway, kiddo—"
"I told you not to call me kiddo!"
"Kiddo, kiddo, kiddo. Anyway…When you get dressed, come up here. There's something I need to show you."
InuYasha sighed. "Fine. We'll be up in a minute."
Kagome raised an eyebrow at him as he hung up. "What was that all about?"
"Mom wants us up there asap. That means now."
Kagome zipped up her jeans. "Wait…What are you still doing in here…? Get on the stairs and don't come up until I tell you to!"
He blushed and sat on the stairs until Kagome called, "OK. Come on up. You know, I wonder what your girlfriend will think about you and me missing a day of school on the same day, and we live so close to each other…"
He groaned. "I am never going to hear the end of this."
She smirked. "Let's go. Your mama's waiting for us." She opened the door and InuYasha bent down. Kagome climbed on his back as InuYasha jumped into the air up to his house.

A/N: I know I didn't explain the prophecy very well. That's be in part two. And three guesses as to who the spider is. Hakudoshi. Naraku. Kagura…
