Chapter 10: Who's to Blame
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he's seeing in front of him. To see Kagome looking like she's guilty for what she did to make him drink that hot sauce that upset his stomach earlier wasn't really what he was expecting. "Why?" Inuyasha asks Sango instead of Kagome because the raven-haired girl can't find the words to say to him. "Why what?" Sango asks defensively. "Why would you want Kagome to make me drink the hot sauce. I know fully well that stuff is your dad's, not yours." Inuyasha asks more specifically. Sango sighs, "Well first of all, Kagome doesn't know anything about you because she's new here. So, don't take it out on her." She explains to him, still noticing Kagome isn't saying anything to defend herself.
Inuyasha knows that so far about Kagome being the newbie in this. And for that he should've known better not to take advantage of her. In other words, he should be ashamed of himself to do such a thing. "So how was it that she knew about me hating hot sauce?" Inuyasha asks Sango. "Let's time I saw her, she was going to a hair salon to get something." He adds his reasoning to find out what Kagome was up to. Hearing that snapped Kagome out of her unknown trance, "You spied on me?" She glares at him. Inuyasha nods at her. "I didn't stick around to know what you really wanted me to do since I lost the bet against you yesterday, so I had to find out what you wanted me to do on your behalf." Inuyasha replies as he crosses his arms.
Kagome spots something on his left wrist. From what she can see for far looks like a wrist watch. "Okay, I went to the hair salon to get white hair dye because I wanted you to dye your hair white for the next week. That's what I thought until I went to Sango's dojo." Kagome admits her real idea. Inuyasha glances his stare from Kagome to Sango, "You told her, didn't you?" He asks in her face. Sango glares back. "Hey I only told her one of your secrets." Sango tells her back as they decide to go somewhere privately. Being in the school hallway is way too much for eavesdropping student to know something that they're not supposed to know about another student.
Inuyasha gestures the group to follow him outside of the school building. Once outside, he pulls out his cell phone. He speeddials a number. "Yes, come bring in the car to pick me, and my friends." He tells whoever it was on the other line. Kagome looks clueless, never seen any of the students to use they own cell. She decides to shrug off that stuff. She looks around to see Sango and Miroku using their own cell phones to call their parents to let them know where they're going. But Kagome, she doesn't have one for herself. "I might as well go home." She excuses herself from the group. Inuyasha sees Kagome turning around and blocks her way. "I don't think so." He intervenes casually. Kagome twitches her eyes. "Oh really? You and what army?" She asks him sarcastically. She is about to walk around Inuyasha until a huge limbo pulls into the parking lot. She widens her eyes, completely surprised.
Inuyasha smirks, "Oh so glad you asked. You see there…" He points with his thumb, "That's my army." Kagome sweatdrops dumbfoundly. Out comes a driver, who looks like he's enderly man with a bald head, and a thin beard and a moustache. "Lord Inuyasha, I have brought what you requested." The elderly man announced to Inuyasha. Kagome really didn't see that coming. "You're a lord?" She asks as she tries to calm down from this. Inuyasha rubs the back of his neck, "You could say that. But it's my dad who's the master of my manor." Inuyasha answers as he gets into the back of the limbo, with Miroku and Sango hopping after him. "Well aren't you gonna climb in?" Miroku asks her this time. He's been way too quick ever since the end of the school.
Kagome shakes her head. "I'd rather not. I have to go back home." She turns around to walk the genral direction of her shrine. Miroku and Sango nod at Inuyasha, knowing exactly what they want him to do. Inuyasha nods back and gets out of the limbo. The driver shouts out to him. "My lord, what are you doing?" Inuyasha stretches his body. "Myoga, take them to the manor. It appears that Kagome doesn't want to tag along." Inuyasha shouts back as he spots Kagome running as fast as she can to get away from this guy who she had felt sorry for a few minutes ago. Myoga nods and drives away, giving Inuyasha the proper privacy that he needs. Once he spots the limbo disappear into the distance, He turns around to spot Kagome almost disappearing from his sight. But that's where this cat and mouse game comes to an end.
Kagome pants a little after crossing the street to get a safe distance from Inuyasha. "I'm not gonna hang out with that guy anymore as she leans herself against a light post. After a few minutes to calm down her racing heart, she beings to walk back to her shrine. She just can't stand this guy. Ever since she met this guy, he was just so prideful, so egotistic, as well as too cocky for his own good. 'What was he thinking? Does he honestly believe that I'd fall for his shanenigans? The nerve of that guy.' She growls as she turns the street where the shrine is. "Well at least I'll be home in my home." She said to herself, unaware that Inuyasha following close behind her.
Inuyasha grins at himself. Now he knows where Kagome lives. "So, this is where she lives." He said to himself as he walks up the steep stairs to the top of the hill. He makes it up to the top to see the hill top is flat to see a lot of anctient buildings of the property. He looks to his right to see a huge tree. He has never seen such a huge tree in his life. "Not bad. I never expected this in such a sacred place." He said to himself. And that's what got him intrigued about Kagome.
