"Are you sure?" Kagome gasped into the phone for the umpteenth time as she walked home, "Because he didn't say anything! You sure? Are you positive? You know Ayame's not that reputable a source. Sango! Are you sure?!"
"Yes for the last freaking time I'm sure he was awake when you kissed him!" Sango hissed in response.
"But he didn't say anything this morning…"Kagome pouted, "S-should I ask him?"
"Are you stupid? Of course not, just pretend he doesn't know," Sango answered, "Better yet pretend it never happened."
"I CAN'T DO THAT!" Kagome replied, "I have to know, I'm gonna ask him."
"Fine but don't say I didn't warn you," Sango answered before Kagome hung up the phone.
Kagome clutched her cell as she entered her house and walked up the stairs. If Inuyasha was indeed awake when she kissed him then…well…Kagome would die of embarrassment right on the floor then die again because she died of embarrassment in front of him.
Kagome swung open the door, Inuyasha was laying haphazardly strewn across her bed. She took a deep breath. Just casually ask if he was awake. No need to make a big deal about anything, right? Right! Kagome opened her mouth to do just that but somehow it came out, "Sango, Ayame and I are going to the movies, wanna come with?" Damn you mouth, do you not understand simple English?!
Inuyasha looked up at her, seemingly unfocused. "Huh? Did you say something?"
Kagome had two conflicting emotions. (1) Angry at him for not paying any attention, (2) AWWW! HE LOOKS SO ADORABLE! SO KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [yes, I am aware that the last one is not an emotion]. But she forced them back down to repeat her question.
"Oh…I can't come, I gotta help Miroku rectify himself in Sango's eyes," Inuyasha answered.
Kagome chuckled, "Yeah, I heard. But really, asking you for help with a girl he majorly pissed off? Isn't that like the blind leading the blind?" Ask the goddamn question stupid! STOP GETTING SIDETRACKED! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yeah but asking Kouga is like the seriously retarded who never had any eyes in the first place leading the blind."
Kagome laughed. You know what, maybe you should not ask him. You're better off not knowing. Let it go and forget about it. Sango's probably right. "Um…Inuyasha, nothing out of the ordinary happened to you last night that you remember right?" And totally ignore me, it's okay. But someone shoulda told me it was OPPOSITE DAY IN KAGOME LAND!
Dude, just say nope. Just pretend you didn't notice she totally kissed you in your 'sleep', kay? It's easy. Two letters N-O, kay? Kay. "You mean like you kissing me out of the ordinary? Because…no…of course…"Inuyasha responded neurotically. Sometimes I just wonder if I'm just here to take up the space inside you skull because I'm obviously not hear to be OBEYED!
"So you were awake?" Kagome sighed.
"Sorta," Inuyasha replied, "But I wasn't gonna say anything because that would make things awkward kinda like they are right now."
"You know I'm really sorry about that," Kagome began, "I mean, that sorta thing was kinda what put you in this position in the first place and I do know you have a girlfriend and everything."
"No, it's totally okay. I just figured it was just a 'thank you' for the song," Inuyasha replied.
Kagome nodded vigorously, "That's TOTALLY what it was. Totally."
"Yeah…"
"Um…so…I came to change and-"
Inuyasha went a flame red. "Uh…yeah. I'll just go now."
"My mom isn't home and neither is my brother. Grandpa probably at the shrine but Sango should be sitting on my porch by now," Kagome replied, her face starting to match Inuyasha's.
"I'll just talk to her, I probably should anyways for Miroku's sake," Inuyasha answered as he full on sprinted the hell out of her room. He opened her front door, panting and gasping for air.
Sango looked up at him with a sly smile, "So I figure you were awake when she frenched you?"
"She didn't f-french me," Inuyasha answered, "It was a peck on the lips."
Sango rolled her eyes. "Same diff."
"That's an oxymoron," Inuyasha replied as he sat down beside her.
"Are you my English teacher now?" Sango retorted.
Inuyasha scoffed as he made himself comfortable. "Shut up."
Sango gave him a sidelong gaze, "You know, you're nothing like I imagined. You're almost normal."
" 'Almost'," Inuyasha repeated resentfully, "And you're nothing like I imagined. You're not jumping up excitedly and chittering at impossibly high notes because you're in my presence."
"I'm not brain dead just because I like your music," Sango retorted.
Inuyasha gasped and turned to Sango and stared at her in surprise. "Really? You like Sengoku Scenesters and you have matter between your ears?"
"It's your music you're talking about, you know that?" Sango replied.
"No, it's Sengoku Scenesters music, I'm part of the band but it's not my music," Inuyasha explained.
"But you write some of the songs," Sango challenged.
Inuyasha blinked for a moment, "Under the direction of Eriko Tenji."
"You still write the songs, though," Sango remarked.
"You can only say that because you've never met Eriko," Inuyasha muttered.
"You're probably right," Sango chuckled.
Inuyasha glanced back at the door behind them. "Is Kagome gonna come out any time today?"
Sango glanced at Inuyasha, "You're coming with us?"
"No," Inuyasha answered.
"So why are you waiting for her ?" Sango asked.
"Because I forgot something in her room," Inuyasha sighed, "But since she's probably naked, I can't get it."
"So what are you gonna do after she's done and we leave?" Sango asked curiously, "I've always wondered what you guys do when we're not around."
"I'm going to meet up with my bandmates and spend the next couple of hours wishing I was dead," Inuyasha answered.
Sango laughed, "Seems like we have something in common…"
"I don't understand how I ended up surrounding myself with those guys almost everyday," Inuyasha muttered, "Kouga is an arrogant jackass and we hate each other's guts and Shippo is a big brat. Oh and don't forget Miroku…"
-meanwhile-
Miroku finished composing his disguise and took a deep and then walked out the door. "Inuyasha should be waiting for me around this time… And Sango should be at the movies by now…" Miroku tried to keep the sorrow from his heart over his troubles with Sango.
As Miroku began to head for the Higurashi household, he couldn't keep Sango out of his mind. He wasn't even exactly sure what he had done. I now know the irritation of being punished for something you don't even know you did… or whether you even did it or not…
"You're an idiot, you know that?" Sango's voice could be heard.
Inuyasha scowled, "Hey, I take offence to that."
Sango couldn't keep the laughter out of her voice, "Cuz you were supposed to."
Inuyasha seemed to be stewing in rage.
Miroku watched the scene from afar. Miroku's eyes narrowed. It seemed to him that Inuyasha, despite having both Kagome and Kikyo, was going for Sango.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something when he caught Miroku's gaze.
Sango didn't seem to notice, "Enough about my 'love life', what about yours?"
"See, you admit it," Inuyasha teased.
Sango rolled her eyes, trying to mask her blush, "Why on earth do you like Kikyo? From what I can tell, she's psychotic."
"She's not like that all the time," Inuyasha smiled, "Most of the time, she's really beautiful and nice and smart…"
Sango could sense his brain going to mush and laughed, shaking her head.
Inuyasha seemed oblivious. "She's –pardon the lameness- she's like the best song ever written."
"I guess the best song ever written is heavy metal," Sango joked.
Inuyasha glared up at her, "Shut up… that's just how I know she loves me. The more violent and gory the threat, the more deep and powerful the love."
"You do not realize how strange that sounded, do you?" Sango replied in awe.
"She's just a bit of a green eyed monster, who isn't?" Inuyasha seemed to personally challenging Sango on that one.
"It's just with most of us the monster isn't literal," Sango snorted.
Inuyasha sighed, "You know what? I don't care what you say or what you think, if you want to complain to me about Kikyo, join the freaking club and get a number. You're not the first or the last. But Kikyo is my eternal love and there is nothing anyone or anything can do about it."
Sango laughed, "Geez, don't get so angry about it. No need to declare your love to the highest mountains or anything."
Inuyasha blushed as he realized what he just said. "I-it's just she's very important to me, okay?"
Sango laughed just as the door slowly creaked open. Inuyasha saw that as he cue to exit.
"See ya later Sango!" he called as he raced over to Miroku.
Sango barely heard Inuyasha's farewell. She was too focused on the image before. "Kagome… why are you crying?"
I bet all of you know exactly why...
Too bad, I can't list you because MY GODDAMN COMPUTER HAD TO REBOOT ITS DAMN SELF!
