Chapter 7: are we done yet?
The red numbers on the electrical clock struck 5:00 AM.
Good morning Tokyo!
Its 5:00 AM and a beautiful day from the looks of it!
The forecast for to day is, sunny- SLAM!
Inuyasha slammed his hand down on the clock, practically smashing it to bits. He growled deeply in his throat and swung the covers off of him with unneeded force. He swung his legs off the bead and stomped to the bathroom to tame his silver puffball on top of his head. Inuyasha barley slept, he kept thinking about Kagome. Wondering what made her so miserable, making her think she had to cut herself.
"I should talk to her about this. No, she wouldn't want to talk about it," Inuyasha thought. "Why do I even want to know why she does it?" he mumbled to himself.
He sighed and brushed his teeth. Finished with that, Inuyasha walked to his closet and pulled on black Nike sweat pants with two white stripes going down the side. Putting on a blood red muscle shirt and his white Nikes, he headed down to the kitchen to see what the cook made for his breakfast.
Inuyasha walked downstairs only to be greeted by his mother, Izayoi. "Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well?"
Inuyasha grumbled a reply she didn't understand. He sat down at the table and a maid set a plate of fruit, plain yogurt, and some orange juice in front of him. He sighed and picked up his fork and started poking at his breakfast. "Why can't I have ramen for breakfast?"
Izayoi rolled her eyes. "You should eat something other than ramen for once. Besides, noodles are fatening."
Inuyasha snorted and started nibbling on some honey melon.
"Another weekend workout with the team, son?" his father, Inu-no-Tashio, asked.
Inuyasha grunted in reply.
I here a girl is on the team now, Kagome is it not?"
He growled a yes. Soon Inuyasha was finished and kissed his mom on the cheek and waved at his dad goodbye. Grabbing his I-pod and a dark blue hoddie, he headed out the door and to the school parking lot.
"Oh Kami, please don't let him bring it up, please!"
Kagome nervously walked to the School. Terrified of what Inuyasha might say about what he saw yesterday. She wrung her hands as she walked. Nearing the school, she saw Akitoki, Koga, Miroku, and Koga already there.
"Hi Kaggs," Koga greeted
She smiled in reply and sat on the entrance steps.
Koga sat next to her. "So," he started, "looking forward to running your ass off?" he joked.
Kagome chuckled. "You bet!"
Koga flashed her a toothy grin. "Yash is going to make us run until our legs fall off." he groaned.
"How so?"
"We usually run three miles on weekend workouts, but since he is so determined to make you quit, well probably run about," he thought for a moment, "hmm, I'd say six or seven."
Kagome shook her head. "He really wants me to quit, doesn't he?"
"Like no other."
Inuyasha kept debating whether to talk to Kagome, or let her be, on his walk to the school. He sighed and shook his head.
He rounded a corner and saw her sitting on the entrance step chatting with Koga. She looked enchanting, her long midnight black hair in a messy high ponytail. She was wearing a black tank top with a cadet blue zip up hoddie. And short Nike shorts that went five inches above the knee. He stared at her wrists; she wore sweatbands on both of them.
He noticed that three of his team members were still not there. Looking at his watch, seeing it was only 5:45, he blew it off and started towards the school again.
Kagome looked up and paled. Inuyasha was walking towards her, not to mention staring. She bowed her head and wished she were invisible at that moment.
"Hey, wolf! Where are Shippou, Ginta, and Hakkaku?"
Koga looked up and saw Inuyasha nearing them. "Ginta and Hakkaku are giving Shippou a ride, you mangy mutt!"
Inuyasha glanced at Kagome and noticed how suddenly pale she went and she let off a sent of fear. Deciding to leave her alone about the incident, he leaned up against a car and chatted with Miroku.
About five minutes passed when a black truck pulled up. Shippou and the others got out and walked to the rest of the group.
Seeing it was time to start their workout, Inuyasha spoke up. "Now that everyone is here, we'll stretch and then we'll start our run."
The team stretched for ten minutes. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome, she seemed to have relaxed and was convinced he was going to leave her alone.
"Everyone out to the side walk," Inuyasha directed.
The team wandered to the side walk and waited for instructions. Inuyasha saw everyone was ready. "We are going to be running five miles today," he declared. "We'll have a ten minute walk in between each mile. Everyone ready?" They all nodded there heads. "Then lets go!"
"Wow, I thought he was gonna make us run a marathon," Akitoki murmured to Kagome.
She shrugged her shoulders and followed Inuyasha's lead.
They all ran for an hour and they were on their second mile, Inuyasha jogging slowly so everyone could keep up. Kagome was beside him looking forward. She didn't even spare him a glance. He listened to her heart; each step was in tone to its beat.
"Walk."
He stopped jogging and started forward like everyone else. They walked for about six minutes when his hand accidentally brushed her sweatband on her wrist. Inuyasha herd a gasp and saw her tense up.
He looked behind them and saw either someone talking or staring at the ground, Inuyasha leaned over to Kagome's ear and whispered to her, "I know what I saw yesterday," she stiffened, "don't think you are going to get away with that, if you keep doing that you will no longer be apart of this team. Don't make me have to search your arms everyday, cause I will," he warned firmly.
"Why do you even care?" she questioned.
"I-uh-I just think you shouldn't be doing that and I don't care about you." Inuyasha's cheek's turned a light shade of pink.
"Mind your own business, you don't know anything about me or what I have been through, so just leave me alone," Kagome said icily.
"Feh, fine with me wench. But I'm warning you," Inuyasha looked deep into her brown eyes, "if I smell or see blood on you I will check you, and if I see any more scars, you will be off of this team before you can snap your fingers," He stated firmly. "Do you understand?"
Kagome opened her mouth to say something back but shut it. She gave a small nod and sighed in defeat.
Inuyasha smirked. "Good." He looked at his watch. "Start running!" he yelled.
Team Tuetsuiga picked up their pace and followed their captain around the blocks of the neighborhood.
An hour and a half passed when they reached the school again.
"Ok, everyone get a drink then follow me to the field." Inuyasha grabbed his water bottle and took a swig, then headed out to the field.
Kagome looked around at all of her tired teammates, she rubbed her scars, "He's right, I have to stop," she thought. Kagome stared at the retreating form of Inuyasha, then followed her captain.
"A hundred and ninety eight… hundred ninety nine… two hundred." Inuyasha counted as him and the team did two hundred sit-ups.
Shippou collapsed on his back. "Yash, are we done yet? We've been at it for four hours!" he complained. "I have homework and I need to get to work."
Inuyasha "Feh'd." "Fine but everyone has to do as many pushups as they can, then we can leave."
Everyone groaned and got in their pushup positions.
"Go!" Inuyasha yelled.
Everyone did pushups till they collapsed; soon it was only Koga, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome still going at it. They watched the small competition. Miroku collapsed, a few seconds later so did Koga. Inuyasha and Kagome were still going at it like they just started.
Inuyasha glared at Kagome, wondering how she could last this long. "Damn, why wont she quit?" He started slowing down, then he collapsed also.
Kagome did twenty more then got up.
"Wow, good job Kaggs," Ginta praised.
Kagome blushed and looked at her captain. "You almost had me there. If you did twenty more you would have had me beat."
"Yea, whatever," he scoffed. "Hands in!"
Everyone laid their hands on top of each others. "One, two, three, TUETSUIGA'S!"
The team scattered in there own direction. Inuyasha walked up behind Kagome and whispered to her again, "Remember what I said, wench." And he walked off.
Kagome froze when she felt his hot breath on her ear and shuddered. She gazed after him, staring at his masculine form and his waist length silver hair. She smiled as she saw his ears twitched. "I wonder what they fell like—oh my gosh! What am I saying? I'm not having feelings for him, am I? I can't, and I won't fall for him, no matter what."
With that last thought, Kagome turned and walked down the street and to her shrine, once again.
