(A/N: ugh. I know I haven't updated in a while. But blame my coaches! They put soccer AND baseball on the same day, then I had baseball AND play practice on the same day! So I got absolutely NO time on the computer! Wow, you're probably like "she does plays? What a geek!" and I say, "who the hell CARES what you think?!?!" any way, I have a question to answer for you, my lovely reviewers, a couple of you have been asking, "where's naraku?" and I say, "jeese, do you WANT Kagome to be killed? Can't they just live in bliss for a few chapters? Besides, that would just ruin the WHOLE story if I just let him run away!")
DISCLAIMER: he- he's- he's NOT MINE! There! Happy now?!
Old Or New?
SLEEPOVER I!
After laughing at that ridiculous face Inuyasha made, they dug in and soon all the food was gone. By the time they had finished, it was nearly dark. And, to everyone's surprise, Miroku's hands stayed on top of the table (I couldn't believe it either XD.) Though, they didn't see him write something on a note, pass it to Sango, see her nod, then figure out that the had started a plan.
"Hey Kagome, since you have no where to stay, how about you stay over at my house?" Miroku asked with a lecherous grin.
"You perve!" Sango yelled at him. "Don't worry, you can stay at my house!"
"Oh, really?" Kagome asked.
"Mhm! You boys can come over too, as long as you stay in Kohaku's room, that is."
Inuyasha shrugged. He wasn't the one they were worried about. The girls' glares were aimed at none other than Miroku. He held up his hands in innocence. "Oh come, come now. You actually don't think I'd do that to one of you!"
They just rolled their eyes. Then, something outside caught his eye.
"If you would excuse me for a moment..." he said. The other three watched him through the big windows.
"Figures!" Sango yelled and ran after him. For, as you may have guessed, he was outside trying to woo another pretty girl. (Kagome and Inuyasha: sweat drop.)
"Baka. He finally got to kiss Sango and now he's going after another girl like it never happened!"
Kagome just sighed. They didn't see them quickly look back inside and then run off towards Sango's house.
SLEEPOVER!SLEEPOVER!SLEEPOVER!SLEEPOVER!SLEEPOVER!SLEEPOVER!SLEEPOVER!
Sango and Miroku were a few blocks away from WacDonalds. They took one look at each other then burst out laughing.
"There...going...to...kill us...! We're...dead meat!" Sango said through outbursts
"It'll...all be...worth it...! Trust...me!"
They stood there for a couple more minutes trying to catch their breathes. After sprinting a few blocks then laughing their assess off, their lungs needed air. When hey finally had enough oxygen, they sprinted the way back to Sango's house.
DeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeatDeadMeat
It took a full five minutes for Inuyasha and Kagome to notice they weren't back yet. Kagome finally discovered that the bench in front of them was still empty.
"Hey, Inuyasha? Where do you think Miroku and Sango are?"
"Sango probably beat him to a bloody pulp and had to take him to the hospital."
Kagome playfully elbowed him. "Come on, let's go find them!"
"Feh." was all she got for a response. But, he reluctantly scooted out of the seat. They walked out of the restaurant and saw...
No one.
No one, meaning of, no Sango or Miroku.
"Dammit! They ditched us!"
"No, they wouldn't-would they?"
"Well, obviously since they aren't here!"
Kagome realized what they were trying to do. They're trying to get me and Inuyasha together! Of course they ditched us! She looked over at Inuyasha, who was now mumbling about tearing someone's head off. I don't have feelings for him, right? There's just no way...! Or...is there? He caught her staring and gave her a strange look.
"What? What are you staring at?"
"N-nothing!" and quickly adverted her gaze. "I was just thinking that we better catch up to them. They can' of gotten too far!"
"You're right. But judging how faint their smell is getting, they must've sprinted."
"They knew that if we caught them, we'd kill them. Good strategy."
He shrugged "I guess so. Now come on."
He walked after them. Walked. That's right, he too figured what they were trying to do, too. He didn't mind spending a bit more time with Kagome, even if he never showed it. He smiled to himself.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Wha- oh, uh, just thinking of new ways to torture them when we find them."
"Oh." she was hoping that he'd say, "I just like spending time with you." but she knew that would never happen. He couldn't have feelings for me. We're just...friends. Though it hurts to say it, we'll probably will never be more. She sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm perfectly fine!" she said with a fake smile. He saw right through it, but didn't press the subject. They stayed in a silence for a couple minutes. Then Inuyasha's ears twitched, picking up sounds he didn't want to hear. Kagome let out a "OOP" when he suddenly picked her up bridal style and ran off to the left.
He set her down at the end of an alleyway. This particular alleyway led to a muddy river with a bridge leading across it. Kagome gasped as Inuyasha stared growling. What they saw was a man dressed all in black holding a struggling burlap sack. Inuyasha did a double take and then one of those spins you do when you're trying to find something when he saw that Kagome wasn't there. Then he heard a SPLASH and then an ear shattering SMACK!!
"YOU F.O.B.!!" Kagome screamed. She was about to jump over the side after the sack when he grabbed her arm. She struggled against his hold. "Let. Me. Go!"
"You're much to sweet to just throw away." he snarled.
Inuyasha ran in between them. He wrenched Kagome's arm from his despicable touch. He cracked his knuckles in the guy's face.
"You don't get to touch her!"
"What are you gonna do about it half-breed?!"
Oooo...bad choice.Kagome thought. She was right, for the next thing Inuyasha did was punch him right in the face. She took this momentary distraction to her advantage and plunged into the water.
"Kago-DAMMIT!" Inuyasha yelled. Jeese! Out of one danger and into another!
Kagome felt the shock as she hit the ice cold water. She swam back to the surface and quickly looked for the sack. She had to work hard to keep her head above water, because the river was deeper and a lot faster than she had first thought. Where's the sack, where's the sack, where's the- there it is! She dove back into the water and swam headfirst towards it. She had to get there fast, because it was already starting to sink.
Inuyasha had leaped onto the bank and worriedly searched the river. Where's Kagome, where's Kagome, where's Kago- there she is! He was about to call and yell at her to get her ass over to him now, but before he could, she dove back under water. Dammit!
Kagome popped back up and gasped for air. She couldn't see the sack anywhere. She went back under and forced her eyes open. They stung, and she could barely see a foot in front her. But she saw a blot when she scanned her surroundings. Aha! Now just stay right there! I'm coming!
She swam with all her strength, which was fading fast. But she felt a new burst of energy when her fingers grasped the top of the bag. She kicked and punched her way back to the surface. She held the bag over her head and feebly swam to the bank. She practically threw the bag on the bank and was about to slip away when a big wave hit her. But strong arms pulled her out of the water.
"You fucking idiot! You could've died!" it was Inuyasha. "Why the hell did you do that?!"
"Th-th-th-th-th-th-" she stuttered. Her teeth were chattering and she was now shaking uncontrollably.
"Never mind. You can thank me and explain yourself when we get you warmed up."
She reached over and grabbed the sack, the whole reason for this adventure. It had stopped moving. She opened it up and out came what Inuyasha thought was a gasp. She scooped her arms down in it and out came a little kitsune yokai. The poor thing. He opened his eyes a little. Whether it was he that was shaking, or it was because Kagome was holding him, no one could tell.
"Take off your sweat shirt Kagome, if you keep that on it'll just make you colder." he wasn't about to tell her to take anything else off. She handed him the kit and with trembling hands, took off her sweat shirt. All she had underneath was a tank-top. He sighed, but took off his jacket (without dropping the kit) and pulled it tightly around her shoulders, and put the kit back in her arms. She tried to stand up, but her knee gave out and would've tumbled to the ground if Inuyasha didn't catch her.
"C'mon, let's get you two to Sango's house," and with that said, he picked her up bridal style and hurriedly went to Sango's house. Kagome snuggled closer to Inuyasha, wanting his warmth. She soon fell asleep comfortably in his arms.
ColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdColdCold
Inuyasha landed expertly landed in front of Sango's apartment. He opened the door with his shoulder and walked over to the elevators, ignoring the suspicious looks he was given (people!! He is NOT I repeat NOT gonna rape her!! Oh and F.Y.I., there will NEVER be a lemon in any of my stories! Not if I have anything to say about it, that is!) He waited almost impatiently for Sango's floor, not completely wanting kagome to leave his arms. But alas, everything good has to end sometime.
He slumped Kagome onto one arm as he knocked a few timed with his other. Then, he quickly caught her legs before they could cascade down to the ground. It took a minute or two for the door to open. When it did, Sango just...sorta...stared at the scene in front of her.
A wet, sleeping Kagome with something huddled in her arms and Inuyasha carrying her.
"Uh...well...I'll explain everything when she wakes up."
Sango nodded dumbly and stepped aside to let them come through. Miroku looked up from the deck of cards he was shuffling. He gave a confused glance their way, but didn't say anything. He knew explanations were coming soon. Inuyasha was about to set Kagome on the couch when she muttered a "no" and snuggled closer. Inuyasha blushed and he heard Sango and Miroku snickering.
Inuyasha decided it was time to wake her up. "Kagome? Kagome?! Time to wake up!"
"...baka platypuses...that's my cheese..." she mumbled. They tried their hardest not to laugh, they really did. But Sango failed and ended giggling and that just got Miroku giggling and soon they were rolling on the floor laughing their assess off (ROTFLTAO!) Inuyasha contained himself enough to only let out a snicker. Kagome didn't wake up, but the kit did. He feebly lifted his head. Once Miroku and Sango saw him, they immediately stopped laughing. They appeared out of nowhere beside them.
"Who are you?" Sango asked.
"He's the reason Kagome's all wet and uh...currently sleeping in my arms." Inuyasha answered for him. The kit finally realized what was going on and hurriedly stood up, only to fall back down swirly eyed. Sango picked him up and felt his head.
"Poor thing! He has a fever!" she said. Then she ran to the kitchen and rummaged through a cabinet for a moment, then pulled out a jar of liquid fever medicine (I HATE hat stuff! -shudders- XP gross!) While she was caring for him, Inuyasha and Miroku stood awkwardly by the couch. Inuyasha gave in and sighed. He flopped down on the couch, Kagome still in his arms. She mumbled something else, no one knew what, and tried to snuggle even more into him. Miroku snickered and earned an "I'm going to kill you" from Inuyasha but ignored it.
Sango wrapped him up in a blanket and put him in a chair. "Now onto Kagome! Inuyasha? Wake her up for me please?"
"Let's just hope no platypuses are stealing her cheese this time," Miroku said. Everyone snickered. Then Inuyasha got an idea of how to wake her up (oohhh no! Another one of his "ideas!") He bent down and whispered so nobody else could hear, "Miroku's trying to grope you," into her ear.
She instantly shot up and punched Miroku (who unfortunately was in punching distance.) He fell back in surprise and tripped over a coffee table that was uncannily placed behind him. Sango and Inuyasha were cracking up all over again. Kagome looked around confusion.
"Did I do something wrong?"
That made Sango and Inuyasha laugh even harder. Miroku just groaned from his spot on the floor. Kagome looked around and started to giggle a little herself. This is just what I need...I need to get my mind off of...of...him. Then she noticed something. She was on something, or should I say on someone.
On the guy she was finally figured out she was crushing on.
And probably maybe just even if possible loved.
She was on Inuyasha.
On his lap.
Doesn't anyone else notice where I'm sitting right now?!
Her first thought was to get off. Now. But then she realized that she was still soaking wet, and his lap was so warm. Plus, she didn't really mind that she was on him. Especially the way he had his arms around her, with his hands clasped at her side. She also noticed that his jacket was still around her. She saw the little kit was asleep one of the chairs, bundled up very snugly. Okay, back to my current predicament...
She took a quick glance at Inuyasha. He was making a crack about "I said I was going to kill you, I just guess Kagome got to you first," or something or other. Whatever it was, it was rewarded with more laughter. She smiled a little, sighed, and decided to take advantage of the situation. She leaned back against his chest, making him jump. It was as if he had forgotten who just happened to be sitting on his lap.
"I'm tired..." she mumbled, as if making a excuse to be close to him. She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She smelled his smell, not really smelling like anything, it was just him.
What Kagome didn't see was the blush that now graced his cheeks. Sango, seeing the situation, decided to get her and Miroku out of there. Fast.
"Uh, Miroku! Right before they came didn't you say you had to go to the bathroom?" she said making face signals that Inuyasha couldn't see.
"Hm? Oh why yes, my dear Sango! Could you please show me where it is?"
"Sure! Follow me! Oh, and I have to get something from my room! It might take me a while!"
They quickly hurried out the room to their supposed destinations. Kagome smiled secretly at what her friends were doing. There was no doubt about it now, they wanted her and Inuyasha together. But frowned at her next thought. Why would Inuyasha want someone like me? Especially with the whole Naraku deal and all. She sighed again, this time it was a sad one.
What she didn't know was that Inuyasha was having the same problem.
He was having a bit of trouble controlling himself. He wanted to kiss her, to taste her, he wanted her so bad right now. It wasn't so bad when he wasn't thinking about Kagome, but now there wasn't much of a choice. If only her smell wasn't so intoxicating...but shook his head to clear it. He knew one thing, girls wanted the guy of their dreams, a prince charming, and he sure wasn't one of them. Kagome wouldn't want me, anyway. He thought sadly. Who would want a half-breed like me anyway? But still, her words haunted his mind like her scent.
"By your not answering me, your probably assuming that I'm just going to treat you like your worth nothing because you're a hanyou, am I right?"
The first time they met, she had said that. But not only that.
"Damn him! How could he treat us like that?!?! That F.O.B.! And I mean it with all I'm worth!!" Kagome ranted, pounding on the lockers.
Inuyasha was leaning against the lockers which were now getting pretty banged up. He had almost forgotten his anger when he heard one word come out of her mouth. Us. So he decided to be nice.
"Here, do the worksheet, ace it, then he'll give you a bit more respect."
Kagome thought for a moment, then sat down and quickly read the first problem. She snorted. "This is so easy! And they thought that I would be challenged!" Inuyasha came over and sat down next to her. "I know. The only reason I'm doing poor in my classes is because I don't try."
"You should at least try some of the time."
"What's the point?! They'll still treat me like shit. The outside world is even more cruel then them."
"Not everyone is mean to you."
Inuyasha thought for a moment. "You have a point. You, Sango and Miroku aren't like that. But just look at Mr. What's-his-face. There are a whole lot of 'em where he came from."
"Who even listens to people like them? They are just insecure about themselves, so they have to put other people down like us down."
There was that word again. Us. That was becoming his favorite word. Especially when Kagome said it. "Thanks."
Kagome looked up at him surprised. "For what?"
He shook his head. "For more than you know."
Maybe, just maybe, he loved Kagome more then he ever thought possible.
