What's Ice Cream?

(( I actually messed up…if you didn't notice I went from ch.8 to ch.10 so I was a chapter ahead of myself…so the last one should have been 20 and so on.….oops my bad it will be fixed soon))

Everyone was walking to wherever the Head Mistress was taking them. Kohaku towards the front then Rin and Shippo, and lagging in the back was Inuyasha followed by kagome.

"HEY!" Inuyasha yelled as he almost got nailed in the head with a snowball.

He turned to see Kagome almost falling over in the snow laughing. He smiled at the site and got an idea and started looking around for some really good snow.

"Watch out incoming," Kagome looked up only to get knocked down into the snow by the biggest snowball she had ever seen.

"Ouch! HEY! That's hurt!" she looked up to see Inuyasha's smiling face and scowled at him.

"Rin I think we're losing Inuyasha and Kagome ," Shippo poked her shoulder and pointed behind them.

"What are you two up to back there?" Rin yelled from a good ten yards away. This was a big mistake because as soon as she was done a snowball was hurtled right toward her face, which made Shippo fall off of her shoulder and into the snow. "OW, why you little…"

Kagome laughed at Rin's red face while Inuyasha smirked at his obviously good aim. Soon Rin was throwing snowballs at Kagome and everyone was soon in an all out snowball fight. Except for Kohaku of course who was still walking ahead. He looked back to see what was taking so long when a snowball narrowly missed his shoulder.

"Hey watch it now," he stopped to calm down all the fuss. "Don't you think we should be catching up to the group to see where she's taking us?"

Everyone looked at each other then at Kohaku and before he knew it he was getting pounded by snowballs from four different directions.

"Ok, ok enough already!" Kohaku yelled drenching wet from the snowballs.

They all stopped out of breath and hurried to keep up with the rest of the group. Not knowing that all the while they were being watched from above.

"We can snatch them right now," a demonic feminine voice said with malice in every word.

"No Kagura, not out in public, we will wait for our chance to strike," said another evil male voice. Evil and power showed in his tone.

"Yes sir," and also in the obedience of his servant. With those last words they flew away on the weightless feather.

"So Inuyasha where do you think she's taking us?" Kohaku asked trying his best to start conversation.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Inuyasha huffed.

"Well I thought she was taking us for ice cream but there's a lot of talk going around."

"Well I wouldn't know."

"Ok, ok."

"Calm down Inuyasha he was just asking a question," Kagome calmed.

Inuyasha took one look at her and he immediately calmed down and a very small smile appeared on his face. Rin snuck a questioning look at Kohaku. Kohaku looked back understanding and just shrugged. Shippo suddenly saw something fly passed him and rushed off to chase it.

"Shippo don't wander off," Rin yelled chasing after the young boy. "You don't want to get separated from the rest of the group now do you?"

Kohaku not liking the tension, coming out of no where from Inuyasha, ran after his love and the little boy. "Wait for me."

Kagome, realizing this was the perfect opportunity to ask Inuyasha what was bugging him moved a little closer to where he was walking.

"So Inuyasha what's on your mind?" she noticed the very concentrated look on his face.

"Oh nothing I was just thinking about some things," he just kept walking.

"Like?" She wasn't letting him get away this easily.

He sighed and decided that he might as well tell her. "Well Kikyou is leaving and she wanted me to go with her and well yesterday she came up to me out of no where and asked me if I was leaving with her or not."

Kagome's stomach clenched and her insides felt like they wanted to burst out of her chest when she heard him talking about leaving. "And what did you say?"

He stood there in silence, which scared Kagome even more. What would she do if he left her? She would be so lost and lonely that she might as well just go back home. Wow, home, now that's something she hadn't thought about in a very long time. And now all of a sudden she wondered what her dad was doing right now. If he even still lived there, or if he had remarried and was treating their kids the same way he treated her if they had any. Kagome was shaken out of her train of thought when Inuyasha started speaking again.

"Kagome, of course I said no," He finally told her. She sighed a breath of relief and felt like hugging him until he fell over into the snow. Instead she just replied with a smile.

"I'm glad that you're staying, I don't know what I would do without you," Kagome said not realizing the warm look on his face that led to another deep thought trans.

"What is it now Inuyasha?" she looked up confused.

"Just thinking about what I would do without you," he smiled.

"Oh and what would that be?" She tried to keep the smile on her face.

"I would probably be lost somewhere still angry at everyone and never know what a true friend is," He surprised not only Kagome but his self with this, but the more he thought about it the more he knew it was true.

Kagome thought for a while, standing there in shock. Then finally knew what to say.

"Thank you Inuyasha but I think you're wrong," she smirked.

"Why?" now he was confused.

"I think you'd still be smelly and sleep the whole day like you so now," she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Oh really now?" he laughed and stuck his tongue back at her.

"Yeah really," Kagome said busting up laughing.

"You know what?" he warned trying to be serious.

"What?"

"THIS!" he yelled as he tackled her into the snow.

"AH," Kagome yelled as they fell into the soft, wet, cold snow and lay there laughing. Not even realizing what predicament they were in.

"Inuyasha your squishing me," Kagome's muffled yell could barely be heard.

"What I cant hear you?" he laughed.

"Get off," she said sternly as she pushed him off of her and he rolled over to lay beside her. Only to have them both burst out with laughter again.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome's hair strewed face, all wet and red from the cold snow, and he thought to himself that he had never seen such beauty in his whole life. Well sense he saw his mother of course. Even if she did look a little like Kikyou, they didn't look anything alike at all. Right when Inuyasha was about to say something Rin and Kohaku ran up with Shippo right behind them.

"Hey you two get up this is no time to be playing in the snow we have to catch up or we'll get lost," Kohaku scolded.

"Yeah guys stop acting like such children," Rin smirked, not serious of course.

"Yeah Kagome stop acting so immature, "Inuyasha said making Kagome stand up faster then lighting.

"ME?" she laughed. "Oh yeah right Mr. throw me in the snow."

"Ok fine just help me up ok," he raised his hand.

"Sure thing," Kagome said as she helped him up half way and then let go sending him falling right back into the snow, covering him entirely.

"I'm gonna get you for that," he mumbled.

"Haha whatever lets go," she said as she helped him up for real this time and they went jogging after their group that was already fading into the distance. They only had a little bit to catch up though, the big group moved slowly.

After awhile Shippo got tired of waiting for them to get there already so he started fidgeting at his place on Rin's shoulder. He'd move from one position to the other, and back and forth. Soon enough Rin got tired of him moving took him in her arms and looked him in the eyes.

"What is wrong with you Shippo?" she asked.

"Are we almost there yet?" He said with sad eyes.

"I'm not really sure where we're going, and even if I did I really wouldn't be able to tell you," she told the toddler apologetically.

"Oh ok, but do you really think she's taking us to get, um, what was it?" he said with questioning curiosity in his eyes.

"Ice cream?" Rin asked him.

"Yeah that," he smiled, but then his smile disappeared. "What's ice cream Rin?"

"You don't know what ice cream is?" Rin said with wide eyes. "I only saw it through windows in stores when I was little, but its frozen milk that is cold when you eat it but very soft."

"Kind of like snow?" he said jumping off her shoulder and putting a hand full of snow up to his mouth.

"No Shippo don't…" but before she could stop him he shoved it in his mouth and gulped it down. A few seconds later he was clutching his head in agony.

"Ow, this isn't very good Rin," He said still holding his head in pain.

Rin laughed and looked down at the poor kid; she picked him up and cradled him in her arms.

"No not exactly like snow, it tastes a lot better then snow, well I've heard at least, and your supposed to eat it slowly not all in one bite," she laughed and he cross his arms in a humph.

"Will I get to try some?" he asked excitement filled his eyes.

"Yes I suppose so, if that's where she's taking us that is, "she propped him up on her shoulder and kept walking with the rest of the crew.

Inuyasha and Kagome were walking a little ahead of the rest of their friends and Kagome was talking about something Inuyasha was only paying half attention to. He was still thinking about his feelings for Kagome.

Yes he knew he loved her but did he love her more then a best friend? Of course he had to love her, she was his first friend, and still the only person that really knew him, and the only person he could talk to. What's not to love about her? She's kind, loving, sweet, not judgmental, not to mention beautiful.

'I am so stupid, I do love her, but should I tell her?'

Now that was the thought now on his head. He knew now that he loves her and he can never let her go, but does she love him more then a friend?

"Don't you think so Inuyasha?" she asked him, but he had no clue what she had been talking about but he nodded his head and smiled anyways. After that response she smiled and continued to talk away.

'I've made up my mind, I'm going to tell her, I will tell her on Christmas morning'

"So Inuyasha what do you think?" Kagome said knocking him out of his thoughts again.

"About what?" he said then regretted it automatically.

"Were you even listening to a thing I said?" she asked him putting a hand on each hip.

"Um well yeah I was I mean kind of..." he trailed off.

"Inuyasha," Kagome looked at him with a look that could kill.

"No I wasn't sorry," he said his ears going down.

"That's ok," she said smiling. "It doesn't matter."

"What were you talking about?"

"Oh just what we should do for Christmas," she said kicking the snow up.

"Oh yeah?" his ears perked up. "Well what do you want to do Kagome?"

"I'm not sure, I was thinking maybe we could sneak out through the window you broke and go to the lake to ice skate," she smiled wide.

"But we don't know how to ice skate," he informed her.

"Yeah and we don't have ice skates either but it would be nice to walk down there," she said with a pout lip.

"I don't know, I think we should just stay inside and have some hot chocolate that we get handed out," he offered.

"But we do that every year."

"Yeah I know but," Inuyasha stopped when he noticed her sad face. "You know what Kagome I'm going to do something special for you for Christmas."

"Really?" her mood brightened up right away.

"Yeah of course," he didn't know what exactly he was going to do but he knew he'd find something.

"Oh thank you Inuyasha you're the best," she gave him a big hug then went on walking.

"Sure it's no problem," he smiled and walked along ahead with her.

Back with Rin and Kohaku they were in deep conversation also. They still hadn't found out what was up with Kagome lately and why they had been acting sort of weird lately also.

"What do you think is going on?" Rin asked Kohaku sense he usually knew everything.

"I'm not sure," he said quizzically for once he didn't know. "Maybe they finally realized they love each other and they confessed their feelings for one another."

Rin burst up laughing. "Yeah RIGHT."

"Hey you never know what could happen."

"What are you guys talking about?" Shippo asked very confused.

"You'll know when you are older," Rin patted his head.

"Aw man," he said with a humph which made Rin laugh. "Hey look everyone's stopping!"

"Yeah they are," Kohaku said squinting.

"Well then lets go see where the hell she led us to," Rin said running up ahead almost knocking Shippo right off her shoulder.

"Hey wait up," Kohaku said and once again went chasing after her.

Rin ran right passes Kagome and Inuyasha grabbed on to them and kept running with them in tow.

"What is your deal Rin?" Inuyasha asked trying to release his arm from her grasp.

"Yeah Rin slow down we'll be there in time," Kagome yelled as she was dragged along by the sprinting girl. "Their not gonna be done and leave without us."

"Well I just want to see where we are, I'm so excited," she squealed letting go of her friends and taking off.

Everyone laughed at her and ran ahead anyways to follow her. They were laughing and running the whole way there until they were finally close enough to see where exactly they were. All the little kids were shouting, cheering, dancing, and any thing else they could do to get their happiness out.

"Ice cream Ice cream Ice cream," they were chanting as they twirled around and hooked arms and turned around and around in a little dance.

"Wow I guess she really did take us to get ice cream huh," Kagome said in shock.

Rin's eyes were just wide open and glazed over with images probably of ice cream and what it might taste like. Before she was in the orphanage she always used to envy all the children with ice cream dripping down their hands and mouths on a hot summer day, and even though it was snowing and probably not the best time for ice cream, she couldn't wait to finally get her hands on some.

"I guess so," Inuyasha shrugged and headed toward the mad crowd waiting by the door.

Shippo wasn't doing much different the Rin. Except he was drooling at all the display pictures in the windows, and he could smell all the different flavors and stuff to go with it from all the way outside, because of his perfect sense of smell of course.

"Come on Inuyasha lets go get some," Kagome said grabbing his hand and walking towards the entrance.

"But it's so cold out here, isnt it a little to cold for ice cream?" he said resisting a little but not much.

"Oh who cares," she said rolling her eyes. "This might be the only time we get to do something like this."

While they were all outside waiting to get in, two people were inside trying to see what all the fuss was about outside.

"What do you think it is Miroku?" asked a girl sitting across from the guy across from her.

"I'm not sure Sango lets go ask someone," the man called Miroku said as he got up and headed for the counter. "Excuse me sir but do you know why all those kids are gathered outside your door?"

The man behind the counter turned around and smiled at him.

"Yes, they are from the orphanage my boy and they have come to get some ice cream for the first time," his smile went from ear to ear and his rosy cheeks gave him a look of a happy family man, but his eyes were worn out from hard work.

"Thank you, have a nice day," Miroku said as he back up to his table where he was previously sitting.

"So what did he say?" Sango asked him.

"They are from the orphanage coming to get ice cream," he smiled.

"Its really cold outside though," Sango looked shocked as she took a drink of her hot chocolate she got from a café down the street.

"They have never eaten any before."

"Oh ok I see," she glanced out the window and spotted one little fury kid jumping up and down at the front door waiting for their care taker to let them go inside. "Look at that little one isnt he so cute!"

"Yeah he is pretty cute," Miroku smiled shook his head and then they both continued to their own business.

"Come on guys I wanna be the first one in!" exclaimed a very excited Shippo who was jumping helplessly in front of the front door.

"Calm down Shippo we'll get in don't worry," Rin patted him on the head and waiting by the door trying not to jump up and down also.

"Alright kids listen up," the head mistress yelled out and everyone got silent. "You are allowed one ice cream you hear, only one, and one topping so get in a straight line and we will start going in."

Everyone lined up in a line, with much shoving and yelling they were soon in a very long straight line.

"And not everyone has to get ice cream if you don't want to, it kind of cold outside after all," she said in an actual nice tone for once which got the kids talking.

Of course Shippo was in the front, along with Rin the Kohaku and Kagome and Inuyasha were a few people back from them. One by one they each got their ice cream, and one by one they headed outside. Except for Shippo that is who wanted to be in a warmer place to eat his treat.

"Mmmmmmm," Shippo mumbled the whole time. He had never tasted anything so delicious in his whole entire life.

"Hey little fellla what are you doing in here?" asked a lady sitting at the table in front of him.

"I didn't want to go back outside cause its to cold," he said as ice cream dripped down his chin. "This is really good."

"I can tell," she laughed then went over to him with a napkin. "Here you go."

"Thank you very much miss," he said whipping his face. "My name is Shippo."

"Nice to meet you Shippo my names Sango," she said shacking his sticky hand.

"Hi Sango," he said then he looked behind her shoulder and pointed to the guy she was with. "Who's that?"

"Oh this is my friend Miroku," she said and Miroku came over to shake his other sticky hand.

"Hi nice to meet you Shippo," he smiled at the little kid chugging down his ice cream.

"Slow down your going to get a brain freeze!" Sango exclaimed.

"Is that was that was?" he said with a questioning look and Sango and Miroku just looked at each other not knowing what he was talking about.

"Shippo?" a girl yelled going in and out of children. "Shippo where are you?"

"I'm right here!" he said jumping up and down again.

"Oh there you are," Rin walked over and picked him up. "We thought you were lost."

"I'm sorry," he looked down but then perked up. "Rin this is Sango and Miroku I just met them and they are really nice."

"Hi nice to meet you," Sango shook her hand. "Rin was it?"

"Yeah hi sorry I'm Rin," she said and then shook Miroku's hand too who nodded in acknowledgement.

"Ok Shippo we better go," she said lifting him on her shoulder.

"Alright," he said pouting. "See you guys later!"

"Bye!" both Sango and Miroku waved.

"Now we got to go find Kagome and Inuyasha," Rin said right before she entered the group of kids.

"Miroku did you just hear that?" Sango went wide eyed.

"Hear what?" he looked confused.

"That Rin girl just said they had to go find Kagome!" she yelled.

"Are you sure about that Sango?" he lifted an eyebrow at her.

"I'm damn sure now lets go!" she grabbed his arm and pulled him as hard as she could out of the building.

"Sango calm down," he said getting control of his arm back.

"We have to find where they went!" she exclaimed looking around frantically for the girl and little boy.

"I don't see them Sango there's to many people," he said not fully believing her.

"Oh damnit!" she said giving up and standing there in deep thought. "We have to go get Koga and tell him what I heard!"

She ran along with Miroku back to there home to tell there awaiting friend about their news.
