Chapter 4
Last Time
"You should sleep here instead of me tonight, InuYasha." Said Kagome. "But this is your sleeping bag," said InuYasha. Kagome got a look in her eyes and said "Then why don't we share?" InuYasha was shocked! "Who are you and what have you done with Kagome?" asked a puzzled InuYasha. Her expression changed. "Get your head out of the gutter! Not like that! Just sleep next to me." InuYasha thought it over for a minute, and finally made his decision. "Ok, but if you get ANY ideas, I'm gone!" Kagome laughed at that and they laid down. Shippo came over and whined. "Where am I gonna sleep?" "With Miroku," answered InuYasha, one eye open. "Whahhh!!!" cried Shippo. InuYasha gave him a 'If you don't shut up you die' look. So Shippo shut up.
Now
InuYasha had opened up a little more since a week ago. He was starting to wonder if this curse was now a blessing. As the group walked along, they stopped when a tornado came blazing through; it was Koga. InuYasha "growled" at Koga. "Stay away from Kagome, you mangy wolf," exclaimed InuYasha, hand on Tetsuseiga's handle. "Why should I? She's my woman," Koga replied. InuYasha thought for a comeback and a light bulb went on in his head. "No, she's my mate!" Everyone was shocked, mostly Koga. Kagome looked at InuYasha like 'What do you mean?' InuYasha mouthed 'Play along.' She winked. "You're lying! You have to be!" He was starting to crack. InuYasha held back a laugh. "Kagome is this true?" asked Koga. Kagome had thought this through fast. "Yes I am! I told you I'm NOT YOUR WOMAN! I never was, am not, nor will I ever be your woman!" She put on an angry face. It was all an act, but only InuYasha knew that. They'd tell the others about it later. "You heard her, wolf. Beat it!" InuYasha had Tetsuseiga drawn and the tip of the blade a Koga's throat. "Leave now if you know what's good for you," InuYasha threatened. Koga shot him a death glare and ran off. InuYasha sheathed Tetsuseiga and dusted his hands. "That takes care of him." Said InuYasha. Then he noticed that all eyes were on him and Kagome. "It was a lie! He was too stupid to tell," said InuYasha. "Nu-uh! About a week ago he and Kagome were in her bag together! That's why I was with Miroku that night!" said Shippo, which earned him a pound in the head. Miroku and Sango gasped... well, Sango anyway. "Get your heads out of the gutter!" said Kagome. She and InuYasha were both bright crimson. "He just was sleeping in the bag with me. Not...you know!" Kagome was mad. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all did a nervous sweat drop. "We believe you! Calm down Kagome!" said a scared Miroku. While this was going on, InuYasha was in thought about his "excuse". 'What if that were true? What if Kagome and I...' InuYasha shook it off before he got any further. He kicked himself mentally. He wasn't ready for that kind of commitment! Still, that stupid voice in the back of his head kept insisting he think it over. He walked over to Kagome and whispered into her ear. "So Kagome... are we lovers now?" Kagome's eyes widened. She had secretly been waiting for him to use her name, 'we' and 'lovers' in one sentence. She whispered back. "Well, I suppose your comment and the fact we have slept in the same 'bed' so to speak means... yes. Why do you ask?" her heart was racing at that moment. InuYasha whispered back. "Because," he whispered the next words very quietly "I love you." Both faces became redder than ever. The onlookers, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, were thoroughly confused. When InuYasha and Kagome returned to standing up straight, Kagome cleared her throat. "We have an announcement to make." Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all nodded slowly. "We are a...um..." InuYasha started. "Lovers." He finished quietly. Then he and Kagome had a double blush again. InuYasha then proceeded to pick Shippo up by his tail. He looked the little fox demon in the eye and smirked. Then he whispered to Shippo, "You ain't sleepin' next to her ever again." And whacked Shippo on the head, throwing him to Sango him to Sango. "He's your problem now," said InuYasha pointing to Sango and Miroku. Kagome proceeded to wrap her arms around InuYasha's right arm. He felt she would cut his circulation off, but didn't seem to mind. "Y'know," started InuYasha, "we should just go back to the village." The others were shocked. "What about the curse? Don't you want to be a half demon again?" asked Sango. "Not really, no" said InuYasha, again shocking everyone. InuYasha and Kagome had gone on ahead, and InuYasha asked Kagome if she wanted to "show him off" to her friends. Kagome just laughed and agreed. "But first we need to go through the well and get you some modern clothes!" He just nodded. What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong
Naraku was watching all this through Kanna's mirror. He smirked. A weakness. But why care if he's not going to fight. Maybe He'd just mess with his mind...
Kagome's House
"So he's now your boyfriend right?" asked Kagome's mom. Kagome nodded. "Is it ok if I take him to get some modern clothing?" Kagome asked her mother. "I guess, but don't buy more than you need to!" responded her mother. "Thanks, mom, I won't! Come on, InuYasha, let's go!" Kagome grabbed his shirt sleeve and dragged him outside and toward the shrine exit.
Later
Soon the two arrived at the nearest Tanaka clothing store. InuYasha looked around and found a few pairs of jeans and some T- Shirts. Kagome decided she'd get something for herself. She looked around and found an 'I'm bad and you love it' happy bunny Tee shirt. She hid it from InuYasha; she'd show it to him later. They left the store and stopped at WcDonald's for lunch. InuYasha ordered two Big Wacs, 2 large fries, and a large coke. Kagome just had a salad and a small sprite. Everyone in the restaurant was gathered around their table. Then Kagome's friends Yuka, Eri and Ayumi walked in and saw the crowd. "What's going on?" asked Eri. "This guy's gonna eat two Big Wacs!" said a man from the crowd. The three girls got a look at the table and saw Kagome and a long black-haired boy, who was the center of attention. Was that Kagome's boyfriend?
Chapter 4 is done! I hope you like it!
