Cutiecharm: Hah! The cliffhanger finally deceases…or does it?! Honestly I have no clue- and I'm writing it!! I could be lying. Anyways, I am here to apologize for not updating for so long!! (Is shedding tears of apology) Well, enjoy this chapter…
Chpt. 10The words seemed to echo on the sides of the car, "Wait… you were there…"
Kagome just stared at him, overwhelmed by the one simple fact. Inuyasha returned the gaze for a long moment before he replied,
'Yeah'
Kagome tried to say something, "so- you were…heard something…. knew…dad…accident-HUH?!' No matter how hard she tried to organize her thoughts, they just wouldn't let her think straight.
"Listen, Kagome. Look at me!" her eyes had begun staring off into some random space, he had to grab her chin and tilt her face towards him for her to see.
"I'll explain- well, as much as I can. Okay, now don't freak out on me, alright?" he felt her lightly nod.
Sigh " I was there, but I was only six. I barely remember anything. And what I do remember is all jumbled in my head. What happened was, my parents and I had just moved here. For some reason, my parents got a lawyer. Someone they could trust for something. They, I guess, arranged a meeting with him- your dad. But, they wanted it to be as secret as possible- so they ended up in the car somehow. My mom couldn't find a baby sitter she trusted enough to watch me, so I had to tag along. When we got in the car I remember hearing something weird. The-" Kagome cut him off,
"Weird? What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
" it means WEIRD!" he retorted in a somewhat angry, somewhat humorous way- he was glad she had some of her annoying attitude back.
"Define weird? Like, some 'weird' animal sound that no one knows about, or a 'weird' noise that you only call weird 'cuz you've never heard it before or- HEY! Get your hand away from my face!" Inuyasha's hand fell numbly from where it had been holding her face in his direction. Blushing so subtly that even Kagome didn't notice.
"Hey, you went all stupid on me! Had to do somethin' before you got permanent brain damage—and what the heck 'WEIRD' as in out-of- the-ordinary, you fool-" cut off yet again( how can he not see this coming, lol)
"Who are you callin' a fool?! You're the fool here! I mean, you're flipping parked in the middle of the highway!!" she pointed out the window to a line of cars, with noticeably furious drivers.
"Oh, crap! You didn't think to mention this, oh, I dunno- EARLIER!" he was fuming, and at that Kagome couldn't hold back this huge stream of laughter that jerked Inuyasha into a driving position,
"Wench" he muttered under his breath.
When laughter had turned to hysterics, and hysterics had turned into silence, and then… well, silence turned into low snoring, Inuyasha finally had his car parked in a SAFE area. While Kagome slept, little thoughts began to leak into his head: she looks so peaceful asleep, quieter than usual… she squints like she's in pain, through all that serenity, every few minutes… Kags snores, but it's so childish and almost cute… (EH!! I smell a teensie, little, wee crush, don't you?)
"FEH!!" Inuyasha shouted to chase away his thoughts.
Kagome jerked upright instantaneously; "NO!!" she screamed it so loudly that lights were turned on in many apartments in Inuyasha's apartment building.
He looked at her funny for a second, then asked, "Bad dream?"
She turned and looked at him- tough as always-
"Huh?"
"You just broke the sound barrier yelling 'No!' weren't you having a nightmare or something?" he squinted at her; she had huge bags under her eyes.
"What? I wasn't even having a regular dream-sigh- stupidity" she replied nonchalantly, like she had indeed not recently had a terrifying nightmare.
"Who're you callin' stu-" another cut on Kagome's part,
"Hey, what time is it anyway? It's all dark- how long was I sleeping?! Crap! My mother's gonna kill me! This is my second night away without calling her! She's going to freak! I can't go home now, she'll be even madder!" (And so repeated the hysterics.)
Inuyasha tried to calm her down "It's fine, just tell her you were at my house studying or something. And you can stay here tonight, too."
Kagome started to shout again, but Inuyasha told her everything would be fine, and that she should come and get some sleep at his place first.
"Fine. But what time is it?" Kagome took up his wrist and bent his elbow to look at his watch.
"Oh, it's only just after midnight. Whoa! Okay, let's go. I've been dyin' to see where you live" She yawned and stepped out of the car, only to stumble to the ground. She was enveloped in dizziness. Everything went black as she heard a voice say her name…
"Kagome…"
A/N Ha! I updated!! And frankly I think my writing got a bit better! Just a little. Well, tell me whatcha think! R&R!!
So sorry that it took me so long!! Will update again soon!! And yeah, don't you just know there's a little crush going on here!! As for Kagome… what has happened to her…? I wonder…
Any input, criticism (don't be too cruel) and/ or advice is GREATLY appreciated.
