Hey sorry for the delay but some probs came up at home needed some time. So heres your very long awaited chapter.
Chapter 15
Parents, a Kiss, and a Friendship to last.
"Hey babe," Kohaku said as he gave Rin a quick kiss and rapped his arms around her waste.
"We have been looking for you everywhere where have you been?" Rin asked as she kissed him back.
"Just walking around waiting for this lump to get out of bed before dinner," he said as they all laughed except Inuyasha.
"Hey I just don't wake up early like you losers do!" Inuyasha said pouting crossing his arms.
"Yeah sure you don't Inuyasha, sure," Kagome laughed.
Inuyasha just sat there putting while the rest of them laughed. Once everyone had calmed down they all went out side into the cold winter air to sit on the swings until dinner was ready for them. Kagome and Rin were on the only swings on their side of the field and Inuyasha, pushing Kagome, and Kohaku, pushing Rin, were trying not to get hit.
"Wow it's not that cold out here for this time of winter," Rin said as she swung passed Kagome.
"Ya I know I hope it snows later today I was hoping for a snowball fight," she smirked and Inuyasha as he pushed her harder. "Hey watch it."
Just as Kagome finished her sentence little snowflakes started to fall. Not hard but just a little bit here and there.
Everything was going good until someone threw a football out of nowhere and hit Inuyasha in the side. Of course he didn't move or any thing but he did go to look at it, which made him get hit in the process by the swing Kagome was on and plow right into the lightly snow covered ground.
"Oh my gosh Inuyasha are you ok?" Kagome ran over to him lying on the ground almost knocked out.
"I think I'm ok." He said totally dazed.
"Inuyasha I'm so sorry I didn't know you got distracted or else I would have stopped myself I'm so sorry here let me help you out!" Kagome rushed to say as she helped Inuyasha stand up by putting his arm over her shoulder.
Kagome sat Inuyasha on one of the seats outside while he snapped back.
"How the hell did I get hit with that football?" Inuyasha asked Kagome looking at Kohaku and Rin's concerned looks by the swings.
"I'm really sorry Inuyasha I thought you were watching and then I feel the seat hit something and then-" Kagome got cut off by Inuyasha holding up his hand.
"Whoa Kagome calm down I'm fine don't worry it wasn't your fault it was who ever threw the damn football," he looked around and then looked back at Kagome still concerned.
"Kagome don't worry ill be fine I'm a hanyou I can take a hit," Inuyasha reassured her.
"Ok lets go back," Kagome, said walking back to the swings with him following her.
All of a sudden while they were walking back they heard laughing from somewhere close by.
"Did you see that, that was priceless," Hojo said trying to talk and stand up and talk at the same time while cracking up almost rolling on the floor. And of course Hiten and Manten were laughing by his side.
"What's so funny," Kagome yelled pissed off.
"Kagome come on you have got to say that was pretty funny!" Hojo laughed. "Why don't you hang out with me? I wont get beat up by a swing."
At that the three of them started laughing even harder and Manten even fell over onto the ground.
"Did you even see that?" Hiten asked her.
"Yes I did and it was mean, and cruel, and not funny at all," Kagome scolded.
"Kagome we were just messing around," Hojo puffed out his chest. "I cant help it if I want to impress a sexy girl."
"Well impressing me by making fun of my best friend isn't exactly the way to go," Kagome pointed a finger in his face. "That is so not cool."
"Chill Kago--," Hojo didn't get to finish Kagome poked him in the chest.
"No way am I ever going to hang out with you losers, you can't even compare to Inuyasha you slime bag," Kagome poked him harder. "And you also need to learn how to talk to a girl before you even try to pick up one."
She turned around and started walking back to her friends. But before she reached to far she turned back to Hojo and looked him in the eye.
"Asshole!"
Hojo and his 'crew' stood there in shock. Kagome had yelled at them before but never like this. Did she actually just call Kouga that?
"Oh this is so not over," Kouga was angry and stomped inside.
Kagome smirked and flipped her hair and walked over to the swings. Inuyasha just stood there in as much shock as the rest.
'DAMN KAGOME! I didn't think she had it in her to do something like that.' He just stood there in shock that Kagome just made Hojo look like a total ass.
"Wow Kagome I didn't know you had it in you!" Rin exclaimed in total awe of Kagome. "I would have just gone up and slapped him but that's just me."
Kagome laughed looking at her friends' amazed expression. Then suddenly the bell for dinner rang but it wasn't yet dinner. Confused, Kagome, Inuyasha, Rin, and Kohaku went inside to see what was happening.
They walked in to see the head mistress waiting for them to get inside.
"Ok shut up you little nuisance, there is a couple coming today to look for a kid to adopt and I want all of you to behave so they will take one of you buggers out of here and I get money for you ok?" he snarled.
"Yes Ma'am," they all said at the same time.
"Ok now get ready and go play somewhere out of my site but inside," she said as she excused them.
"I wonder what the family will be like," Rin wondered.
"I don't care as long as they don't take me anywhere," Inuyasha said as he sat down in one of the chairs in the main hall.
"Ya I don't want to eave you guy either," Kagome said also sitting in a chair.
"Ya me neither but wouldn't it be awesome to have a real family to have someone who loves you and takes care of you like you've always dreamed or seen in movies?" Rin said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"I guess but I would be leaving you guys behind and that wouldn't feel right especially you Rin how could I be happy when I'm in a comfy bed and your still here suffering I just couldn't do that could you?" Kohaku looked towards Rin for n answer.
"Well –uh- I guess –erm- no," she struggled then whispered her answer.
They all sat there in silence when they heard the door open and the 'witch' as they call her show the couple the little ones first. The parents were always looking for a little one. They hardly or never even had a chance to look at the bigger kids.
But this couple was different they came into the room Kagome and the rest of them were sitting in and looked around curious.
They couple looked fine cut. They wore smooth ironed cloths. The cloths were business cloths so they were probably rich. The woman looked around curious while the man stood stiff in his place.
"Hello how are you kids today?" the woman walked over to the group and smiled.
"As good as we can I guess," Inuyasha shrugged it off.
"Nice to meat you ma'am I'm Kagome this is Inuyasha, she's Rin, and he is Kohaku," Kagome said smiling.
The man looked passed everyone and straight to Kagome. "You look just like--," he didn't get to finish his wife interrupted him to greet all the children.
"Nice to meat you too Kagome same to all of you," she seemed interested in Kagome and walked away with a smile.
"Kagome are you crazy what the fuck was that about?" Inuyasha yelled when the couple was out of sight.
"It's not my fault, she was nice and I wanted to be polite," Kagome told him back.
"That was a little too polite don't you think," Inuyasha more stated then asked.
"Well pardon me if I just wanted to be nice and who cares if I'm nice to them it's my choice," Kagome yelled at Inuyasha.
"Ya its ok to be nice if you want to be taken out of this place and never see us again," Inuyasha barked back.
"What if I want to leave I don't want to be stuck in this dump my whole life you can if you want to though," Kagome yelled almost as loud as she could standing up to make a point.
Inuyasha looked at her shocked, and Rin and Kohaku just looked from each other to Kagome and back to Inuyasha. After Inuyasha got hold of himself he scowled at Kagome and stood up to meet her view.
"Fine go and leave with those people I would much rather you be with them then here anyway and apparently that's what you want too so why would I want you here with me anyway!" Inuyasha yelled just as loud.
Kagome stared at him so shocked she lost her voice in her throat.
'Oh my god what have I said? What have I done? I didn't mean to-' Kagome thought as she rushed to get her voice back.
"Inuyasha I didn't-"Kagome started to say but Inuyasha cut her off.
"Just---I don't even want to talk----I hope your happy with you----family," Inuyasha said with his head down as he walked up the stairs to their attic room.
Kagome looked at her two friends left in the room. They were both stuck with words.
"I didn't mean it like that I was just frustrated I just-" Kagome sighed and fell on the chair closest to her.
"I'm sure he didn't mean what he said either you both were just caught in an angry moment and by those people skipping over him like that reminded him of what he is and that he will probably never get out of here until he turns 18, I feel bad for him," Kohaku said as he held Rin protectively around the waste.
"Ya why don't you go talk with him Kagome it will make him fell better," Rin said as she and Kohaku walked out of the room.
Kagome sighed again and got up and slowly walked up the stairs to her room. When she got there the door was closed so she knocked on the door two times. No answer. So she tried again.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
Still no answer. Kagome knocked on the door a little louder.
"Inuyasha? Please open the door or I will just come in," Kagome waited a little until she was tired of waiting. "Ok I'm coming in."
Kagome opened the door to find Inuyasha not inside. She looked around trying to see where he could have gone, and then she noticed the window was open.
"How did he get the bars off?" Kagome asked herself. "Oh well."
Kagome looked out the window towards the ground.
"I don't care if he's hanyou or not he would not survive and drop like that were up like five stories," she said looking around the snow for any signs of movement or someone dropping from the building. None. But the snow was falling harder and it might have been covered up, but there would be some kind of disturbance right.
Kagome decided that he didn't go down, so the only possible way to go was…up?
"Why the hell would he go on the roof?" Kagome asked herself as she carefully climbed onto the windowsill being careful all the while now to slip.
Kagome stood with her back to the open snow and trying to scoot her way to the drainpipe to see if she could climb her way up that. Once she reached it she felt it and soon found out it was quite slippery.
"Ok lets do this Kagome you can do this, if he's not up here you can just wait for someone to notice the window and that your gone………oh I really don't want to do this," she turned to go back but stopped. "This is for Inuyasha its not for your self now you can do this."
She carefully grabbed onto the pole and started to climb. She was half way up the pole when her figures slipped she lost balance and slid down the pole. She was smart enough though to grab onto the ledge she was previously standing on and hold her grip on it so she was handing five stories up in the air the only thing keeping her from falling was her grip on the ledge.
'Oh my god oh my god oh my god I'm going to fall and brake my skull and die and then there wont be any new home for anybody to worry about' Kagome thought as tears started to go down her face and fall down to the snowy floors as she hung there and cried.
"What am I doing here anyways Inuyasha probably isn't even up here and I just killed myself for nothing," she started to cry even harder. "Someone please help me." Kagome whispered to no one.
"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I'M SLIPPING," she felt her fingers slipping from the icy cement. "I CANT HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!"
"Kagome?" she heard someone ask from up above. She looked up to find Inuyasha looking down at her confused.
"Inuyasha!" she cried as she slipped even more and she let out a scream.
"What are you doing up here you could kill your self!" Inuyasha told her like she was safe up there with him and not hanging on for dear life.
"Ya no kidding now can you please help me up before I fall?" Kagome's tears would have been free falling but her face was frozen numb by the icy wind.
"Let me think about it for a while and ill get back to you," Inuyasha turned and she could no longer see him. "Buh bye now."
"INUYSHA PLEASE HELP-," she didn't finish her sentence and her grip let out and she began to fall letting out a blood-chilling scream.
Right when she thought she was done for Kagome felt a warm hand grip her own and pull her up towards safety.
Kagome sat there out of breath on the roof by Inuyasha open eyed at the thought that she almost fell to her death.
Kagome put her head in her arms and cried like her puppy that she just got for Christmas ran away.
"Come on Kagome you don't think I would let you fall did you?" Inuyasha tried to put a comforting hand on her shoulder but she quickly shook him off and cried even harder.
Inuyasha looked at her with a sad expression. He didn't know that she would respond to his little "joke" this way.
'Damn am I stupid or what now look she's crying' Inuyasha t there not knowing what to do next.
"Kagome I-I'm sorry, I wasn't really going to let you fall wha-what were you doing up here anyway you could have died," Inuyasha tried comforting her but she kept pushing him away and quivering at his touch like she was scared.
"That was not funny do you even no how scared I was," Kagome said in a deep angry voice her bangs covering her eyes.
"K-Kagome I am so sorry I wear I didn't men for you to get this scared please don't be mad I'm so sorry," Inuyasha said begging her to forgive him. He had never seen her this mad.
"Inuyasha I just want to be left alone can you please just go," she said crying even more.
Inuyasha just sat there, he would sit there until she was feeling better and he would take her back inside.
"Kagome you are my best friend ever the only friend I have really ever had, my first friend, do you really think I would really let you fall I mean there's nothing you could do to make me that mad as to let you fall or get hurt any way, I will always be there to catch you when you fall," Inuyasha said trying to calm her down.
Kagome looked up at him. She was still crying and looked so pissed off it could kill but it seemed to be working a little not much but at least some.
"Kagome I would never do anything to cause you harm not anything," Inuyasha went on trying to make her go back to the normal Kagome he lo-. Wait he didn't love her she's his best friend he can't love her besides even If he did she would never love him back. He shook his head to rid himself of the thought.
Kagome seemed to calm down some and didn't look as mad but was still crying.
"Inuyasha you will always be my best friend and my first friend also but I need some time to come back from this, it was really scary I thought I was going to die or get hurt I was about to let go I even slipped before you grabbed me," she started to cry even harder.
"Kagome don't you trust me?" Inuyasha asked sadly.
Kagome gasped.
"Yes," Kagome said suddenly forgetting about ever being angry.
"Then you have nothing to worry about," he said smiling.
"What are you so happy about?" Kagome said looking at him confused.
"I got you to stop crying and it doesn't seem like your mad now does it?" he said sticking his tongue at her.
"Oh why you," Kagome said tackling Inuyasha into the snow and rolling on the roof.
"Kagome stop," Inuyasha said laughing.
"Not until you fight back," Kagome said giggling.
Kagome and Inuyasha rolled around the roof until they hit the chimney and Kagome slipped and fell on Inuyasha their lips touching for a moment, but that moment seemed to last forever as they lay there stunned. Kagome quickly got up and walked over to the edge.
"I think we should go back inside," Kagome said still wide-eyed.
"Uh sure yeah, yeah we should," Inuyasha said as wide eyed as Kagome if not wider.
When they were inside Kagome quickly went into her bed covers and tried to act like she was going to sleep.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked still recovering from past events.
"Uh yeah?" Kagome asked wishing she had just acted asleep.
"Um never mind," Inuyasha got into his bed and lay faced away from Kagome.
Kagome faced the other way so their backs were to each other.
The same thought kept going through both their minds.
