Chapter 6: Kagome's Feelings for Tamahome
~Early Morning Next Day~
'I'll go in her room, take her outside, and kill her then!' Toya thought as he grabbed his knife, and put it in his pants behind his back.
He was up all night thinking of a way to kill Kagome, and now that he had his plan he was going to put it to action.
'Its 6'o'clock so she should be in her room sleeping. I know Tamahome won't wake up until so I have time, but I don't remember Kagome's sleeping habits,' Toya thought as he opened her bedroom door slowly.
Toya looked inside to find Kagome's bed made, and Kagome nowhere in her room.
'Where the hell did she go?' Toya thought as he heard someone clear their throat.
"What are you doing in my room?" Kagome asked as Toya turned around.
"What?" he looks around trying to act sleepy, "I thought this was the bathroom. My bad."
He started to walk to his room, but Kagome grabbed his arm.
"I know that's a lie. You've been awake for a while now. I know, you make a lot of noise in the morning," Kagome looked at Toya as he turned around.
"Ok, you caught me…I was going to hang Tamahome outside by his underwear by the window sill," Toya put his hands up as he nearly passed out from almost being caught again by Kagome.
"I'll let you off with a warning this time, but next time you are so out of here…regardless of what Tamahome says," Kagome pushed him as she closed her bedroom door, and went downstairs.
"Thank the Heavens," Toya sighed softly to himself.
"Since you're awake, you're coming with me," Kagome said as she grabbed her coat.
"Why?" Toya asked as he followed Kagome into the kitchen.
"Because this way I can keep an eye on you, and you won't abuse Tamahome. Or is that not ok?" Kagome asked as she grabbed a piece of paper that had a list of things she needed.
"Fine," he grumbled as he grabbed Tamahome's coat.
'I'd rather have her think its Tamahome I'm after than her,' Toya thought as Kagome wrote a note, and stuck it on the fridge.
"What's that for?" Toya asked as he came back into the kitchen.
"It's a note for Tamahome. He'll wake up by the time we get home, but just in case he wakes up sooner," Kagome explained as they walked out of the house.
'She treats Tamahome like he's the only-…wait; Tamahome is the only thing she has left. Well, she won't have to worry about that for too much longer,' Toya thought as they started their walk to the grocery store.
"Alright, so we'll need milk, bread, eggs, meat for tonight's dinner, and vegetables," Kagome went over her list, "Is there anything that you would like Toya?"
"What?" he looked at her confused, she hadn't really called his name before. Well, not in a long time, and was never nice to him…well since he came here yesterday.
"Did you want anything? Food wise. Since we're going, and you'll be here for awhile, I was wondering what kind of food you like," Kagome looked at him as they continued their walk, "You can look while we're in the store."
"Uh…sure, sounds like a plan," Toya said as he looked away.
'It feels nice talking to her. It brings back the good old days, before I became a Black Warrior,' Toya hit his head with his hand, 'Stop thinking that way. She is your target!'
"You ok?" Kagome asked.
"Never better, why do you ask?" Toya smiled.
"I thought-Never mind," Kagome faced forward as did Toya.
~With Tamahome~
"Kagome!" Tamahome yelled as he went into the kitchen, "Hello, is anyone home?"
Tamahome went over to the fridge, and found the note that read:
'Dear Tamahome,
Toya and I went to the grocery store.
We'll be back as soon as possible.
I'll make you breakfast when we get back,
And please stay out of trouble.
Love,
Kagome'
"So, I'm alone then?" Tamahome looked around the kitchen, "What to do until they come back?"
Tamahome got an evil grin, and he did the impossible. By the time Kagome, and Toya got back Tamahome had been awake for fifteen minutes. What did he do in fifteen minutes you ask?
"TAMAHOME!!!!" Kagome yelled as she and Toya walked into the kitchen with their arms full of bags of groceries. He had made the house a complete mess.
"Dude, what did you do?"Toya asked as they set the groceries on the counter to see the kitchen was covered in food, and Tamahome eating this huge sundae.
"Tamahome, we left you alone for one hour? How long have you been awake?" Kagome asked as she looked in the fridge to see it empty, "Did you eat everything?"
"I've been awake for fifteen minutes. Plus, I only ate the ice cream, did you want some?" Tamahome asked as he had a serving spoon full of the sundae he made.
"Tamahome, I told you I would make you breakfast when we got home? You couldn't wait for fifteen minutes?" Kagome asked as she started to clean up the kitchen, "This will take me hours to clean."
"I didn't mean to make this big of a mess. And it's only the kitchen, living, entry hallway, and the stairs," Tamahome tried to make his mess sound like nothing.
"Tamahome, I don't even know where to begin to tell you how wrong that sounds! It's still four rooms I have to clean. I thought you've matured since you were little…Just go outside for a little while. Toya, will you help Tamahome hose down outside?" Kagome asked as she put the groceries away, and then grabbed a garbage bag.
"Yeah," Toya squeaked trying to stay out of Kagome's wrath.
"Kagome, I'm really sorry," Tamahome lowered his head.
"I know, just go hose off outside, and don't come inside until everything is clean," Kagome said as she started to throw stuff in the bag.
"Come on, Tamahome, let's leave Kagome alone for a while," Toya said as they went outside.
"How do you make a mess this big in fifteen minutes?" Kagome sighed as she started to clean up the mess Tamahome made.
~Outside the House~
"Tamahome, what were you thinking?" Toya asked as he sprayed him with the hose.
"I don't know. Everything just flashed back into my head of what I always wanted to do when I was little," Tamahome looked down as he got sprayed with the hose.
"You should make it up to Kagome; you know she treasures you over anything in the world?" Toya said as he threw a towel at Tamahome.
"She does?" Tamahome walked over to Toya.
"Yeah, she does. You were the only thing she talked about while we were getting groceries this morning," Toya smiled, "She would do anything for you, and then you go destroying the house."
"I-…I'll go fix it!" Tamahome yelled as he ran inside, "Kagome, I want to hel-"
"Woah!" Toya gasped as he ran in after Tamahome, "Did you do this all by yourself, Kagome?"
"Yes, I did. Does it look nice?" Kagome smiled as she wiped her forehead.
Everything in the house seemed to sparkle, and Kagome just smiled at a job well done.
"Yeah it does," Toya looked around, and nodded his head.
"Kagome, I was going to help you," Tamahome stated as Kagome walked over, and hugged him.
"You did enough. Plus, you're soaking wet. You take a shower, and breakfast should be ready by then," Kagome pushed him up the stairs.
"But-"
"Just go, Tamahome, you'll lose if you want to argue with Kagome," Toya stated as Tamahome gave in.
"Fine, but don't let Kagome make breakfast!" Tamahome yelled as he went to shower.
"So, you really know how to clean fast," Toya stated as they made their way into the kitchen.
"I had to, or Tamahome would've wanted to help. He never means to make a mess, it's just in his blood I guess," Kagome shrugged as she pulled out the pats to cook.
"Hey, no cooking!" Toya nudged Kagome out of the way, "Just tell me what to do."
"But you told me that you didn't-"
"Just tell me, Kagome!" Toya looked at her as she kept quiet, "Fine, I'll just make biscuits, eggs, and bacon."
"Don't forget the gravy," Kagome smiled as she sat down on a bar stool at the kitchen island.
"What, now you're going to tell me what to do?" Toya asked as he made scrambled eggs, threw the tray with the biscuits on it in the oven, and stirred the gravy.
"You're doing a great job," Kagome smiled.
"Whatever," Toya looked at what he was doing.
"Wow, Toya, you're cooking?" Tamahome asked as he hugged Kagome from behind.
"Yes, is that a problem?" Toya asked as Kagome's smile widened.
'Man, I feel like a third wheel,' Toya thought as he put the food in serving containers.
"So, just for the record, I am sorry about the mess Kagome," Tamahome apologized again as Kagome just nodded.
"You can stop apologizing now. I understand," Kagome spoke as the three of them dug into the food that Toya made.
"So, what are we going to do for the rest of the day?" Toya asked.
"Well, since you came over when we were just watching a movie. I think Tamahome and I will finish it. You can watch it with us. We're going to start it from the beginning," Kagome stated as she started to eat her breakfast.
"Uh…I think I'm good. I'll go in my room. I actually left my bag of clothes outside in the bush. I think, I'll go get it," Toya stated as he shoved his food in his mouth.
"Oh really? Is that what you're going to do all day?" Kagome asked as he stood up.
"Yes I am. Do you have a problem with that?" Toya asked as he left.
"What is Toya's problem?" Kagome asked as Tamahome looked up with a mouth full of food.
"Wha?"
"Never mind, Tamahome, its nothing. You just eat," Kagome spoke as she looked out the window to see the backyard.
