Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy. Not that I care about not owning the Wheel or Jeopardy. I'd prefer the old school Famiy Feud with the awesome Richard Dawson.
April 12- Walk on Your Wild Side Day
Kagome huffed as her friends continued with the conversation as if she hadn't said anything. Too innocent to know, am I?! I'll show them! Kagome, continuously being ignored, began to plot a way to show Yuka and Eri (Ayumi had the flu today.) that she wasn't so very innocent and could hold her own in a conversation about... that. Comparing men and such. Well, technically, she'd not had a man, but that shouldn't mean she didn't have the right to contribute!
Kagome, after an unsucessful five minutes of plotting, decided to try and pipe in again, "You know, Japan leads in the world in condom use. Also, women who finish college are more likely to get and give oral sex."
Eri looked at Kagome as if she'd grown dog ears and two heads, while Yuka nodded. Kagome grinned, "Too innocent, now?"
Her two friends looked at each other, then back at Kagome and nodded. The discriminated girl growled and banged her fist against the table. "Let me show you how un-innocent I am! Give me something to prove it!"
Yuka, who'd been expecting something like this fromt he stubborn girl, grinned evilly. "Take a picture of a naked man. Exposed."
Eri looked over at Yuka and giggled, "That is so evil! What a great idea!"
Kagome turned beet red and cried out, "What!? You want me to take a picture of some strange man!? I'll be attacked!"
"Come on Kagome. You know plenty of guys." An apparent rolling of the eyes followed by a light snort, "I'm sure Miroku wouldn't mind posing."
"B-but I--" Kagome stopped and hunted her phone from her bag. "Ah, Moshi moshi."
"Oi, Kagome! The bastard says that you need to show up a little earlier today."
She nodded subconsciously, then asked, "But, why are you calling me then?"
"Because I was already here grabbing a bite to eat when he had to leave for a work emergency or something."
Kagome sighed. "Fine. I'll be there in a few minutes. Bye."
She shut the phone after he said his farewell. She looked towards the other two girls. "I'm sorry. I have to go, my boss needs me to come in early." She stood up and after setting down her share of the check, waved as she began to leave.
Eri stood up, remembering, "Ah, Kagome! Don't forget our bet!"
--
Kagome sat down on the couch next to Inuyasha as Rin watched "Wheel of Fortune." She was flushed, thinking about the bet. There was no way she could ask Inuyasha, who was still there for some reason, since he was as embarrassed as she tended to get about things like that. Besides, she really didn't want to bother with the resulting yelling match.
Inuyasha was already a bit edgy today for some reason. She wondered, but knew he wouldn't tell her unless he wanted to. (He'd said "nothing" about three hours ago.) She glanced down at Rin, who was groaning since her favorite player had gotten a bankrupt, and judged her to be thoroughly enveloped by the show. "Did you know, that an American urologist bought Napoleon's penis for 40,000 dollars?"
Inuyasha snorted, "What a freak."
Kagome snickered, agreeing, and continued, "In Ventura county, California, in America, cats and dogs aren't allowed to have sex without a permit."
The hanyou looked over at the nanny, "You aren't going to stop until I tell you are you?"
She grinned, "A male dragonfly's thing is shaped like a scoop and is able to remove rival dragonflies' sperm."
He sighed, "Fine! It's Kikyou. She's being all hormonal and kicked me out." He grumbled on a little while longer, complaining about babies and barfing and such.
"I'm sorry. But, on the good side, as long as it's all in the hormones, she'll let you back in probably tomorrow or something."
"She kicked me out two weeks ago."
Kagome covered her mouth, pretending to be shocked. Really though, she was covering a smile and trying her hardest not to laugh. Inuyasha glared at her. She patted his hand, "There, there."
He snatched his hand away, "Shut up, Kagome. You have no idea. All you do is come to work and flirt with Sesshoumaru and play with a little kid all day."
Kagome glared. "What!?" She rose up and stood over him, "Where the hell did you get the right to assume you know my life?!" She tried to stop it, but her voice was quickly becoming more shrill, "AND another person thinks I don't know! What do I have to do to show YOU up, huh? Go and fondle some guy!?"
The hanyou blinked and stated quietly, "What the hell are you talking about, woman?"
"Nothing! Just that you're an ass!" She growled and backed up as he stood up and led her into the kitchen. "What the hell?! Let go of me!"
Inuyasha let go of her wrist as the entered the kitchen. "Did you forget Rin was in there? Sesshoumaru would probably fire you if he heard you cussing in front of her."
Kagome sniffed, "Gomen, Inuyasha. Something must be wrong with me today." She heard a noise, looked up and saw Inuyasha grinning down at her. "W-what?"
He patted her head and grabbed her and himself a soda from the fridge. He chuckled as he handed her the root beer and said, "Somebody misses her boyfriend."
"Eh?" Kagome thought about it, then it clicked, "I do not miss Sesshoumaru!"
"Who ever mentioned Sesshoumaru?"
"Y-you..."
A new voice enter the conversation, "My, my, a true example proving the inferior vocabulary of humans." He looked over at his half-brother, "It's only five to six thousand words, you know."
Kagome wilted and turned to see Sesshoumaru leaning against the wall. She plastered a smile on her face, "Rin has already eaten dinner and is in the living room watching...Jeopardy by now. Your plate is in the oven."
Trying not to mentally freak out over whether or not Sesshoumaru had heard more of the conversation, Kagome bowed and moved into the living room to say good bye to Rin. As she walked into the living room she heard Rin yelling at the screen, "Purple! Purple!"
Chuckling slightly, she noted that the show was the kids edition. Trebek led the show to commercial and Kagome walked up to Rin, patting her head. Looking up, the small girl grinned. "Are you going home now, Kagome-san?"
Kagome nodded and the two hugged. The commercial ended and Rin went back to her show. Kagome walked back towards the foyer and saw Sesshoumaru standing by the door holding her tote bag. She took the bag and bowed again, "I'll see you tomorrow, Sesshoumaru-sama."
"No, you won't."
Pain flashed in Kagome's eyes as she lowered her head, "I see. Well, then. Goodbye, Sesshoumaru-sama."
He grabbed her wrist as she tried to exit the door. "Woman, it is exceptionally clear to this Sesshoumaru that you do not see."
Kagome glared up at him, trying to keep her tears at bay. "But I do! You don't want a stupid human who everyone still thinks is a child to take care of your daughter!"
A growl erupted from the youkai's lips as he pulled her closer, "No! You're wrong!"
"Oh yeah?" Sniff. "What is it then?!"
"I don't want to be courting someone who works for me," Sesshoumaru muttered before he slammed his lips against hers. Should I be mad about this? she thought, until she felt his tongue probing her lips and all thoughts were lost.
A/N: Ummm, yeah, Jeopardy and (probably) Wheel of Fortune doesn't air in Japan. Call it creative license. Well, not so wild, is it? Anyway, I'm having a ball learning all this random trivia. Alas, tomorrow (the 13th) is the last day for this little trio of stories.
Oh, I wanted to put this in the fic, but I thought it'd be a bit of a 'duh' to a Japanese person. I has to do with the fact that Japan is the world's largest consumer of condoms. In Japan, people go door-to-door selling condoms, like an Avon lady. Can you imagine? "Oh, it's just the Trojan lady." XD
Anyway, thank you and please continue to support me. The semester is winding down and the boost from reviews is awesome. In fact, maybe I should go write some reviews and make other people happy. o Ja ne!
