Chapter 18
Kagome smiled awkwardly behind her seat as she watched her boyfriend struggling to get off of his abnormally happy father's headlock and his occassional hair ruffling. It had been a weird moment. Apparently when Inuyasha's family arrived at the airport to pick them up his father immediately saw her and he suddenly cried. Nope, those were actually tears of joy.
"I am so happy my boy has found a wonderful girl such as her!"
"Damn it Dad! Can you let me go already?!"
And she could have sworn she heard Sesshomaru laugh behind her.
Huh. Must have been her imagination.
After arriving back home Kagome found herself tackled by her younger brother. "Nee-chan! I missed ya!"
"Me too Souta. You didn't go messing up my room again, did you?"
"Nope!"
She squinted her eyes at him. "Hmm... I believe you... for now..."
"Aw come on! At least trust me every once in a while!"
Mrs. Higurashi just chuckled as Kagome reached over to hug her. "He just misses you, Kagome. I heard from Sango you got into a bit of trouble. Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine Mom. My boyfriend took care of everything." A small smile curved across her lips at the thought.
"So, Kagome, when are you going to begin the wedding?"
Cue face fault.
"W-w-what?! Mom! Inuyasha may be my boyfriend but we're still in high school! Just wait until we're older!" Kagome tried to stop the redness taking over her cheeks.
"Wait for what?" another voice spoke out. She turned around to find Inuyasha entering the living room, shaking off the snow from his head.
"Uh... I... well..."
But her mother interrupted. "When will you two marry? I want those cute furry eared grandchildren already!"
Both of them turned red. However, as Kagome tried to speak, Inuyasha quickly recovered and grinned.
"Oh, sooner than you know. Right?" he put an arm around his girlfriend's shoulders and she just nodded.
"How wonderful! I can't wait!"
Meanwhile Kagome turned to him and started to poke him on the chest. Well, more like jabbing him. "Okay, mister, what gives?"
He smiled and flicked her on the head. "Stating the facts about us."
"But we're still in high school idiot! We can't get married now!" she jumped when he leaned down and softly gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Fine, fine. I can be patient."
She grinned and petted his head. "Good boy."
"Can I have my reward for being a good boy then?" he replied, his eyebrows moving up and down suggestively.
"Fine." she leaned upwards and gave him a quick kiss. "There you go."
"No more?"
She playfully punched him on the shoulder. "Later."
"Awww."
*time skip brought to you by Romano and tomatoes*
"Congratulations, Kagome! We knew you could do it!"
"Thanks."
As another group of students congratulated Kagome along her way towards her class, she suddenly got tackled in a hug by her best friend.
"OH MEH GAWD! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Sango yelled out and hugged Kagome tighter.
"Sango... can't... breathe..." she choked out and Sango released her, smiling.
"Ehehe, sorry. How have you been? I haven't seen you since, well, after that incident."
"I've been fine."
"That's great to hear. Oh, we better get back to class now!"
"Relax, Sango, only one month left and it'll be summer soon!"
They both laughed as they started to dash towards their classroom.
*meanwhile*
Miroku boredly stared at the computer screen, clicking on the "Copy" and "Paste" button multiple times. He was working on an important report for the school council and it pissed him off.
"You ain't gonna finish that if you don't stop slacking off." Inuyasha spoke out and went to look at the screen. "And you aren't even halfway through."
"Sometimes I regret being vice president." Miroku admitted bitterly.
"Well, its your fault. Now finish those off, I'll print them out later."
The office door opened and Austine's principal entered. "Boys, I have news."
"Yeah?"
"Appparently Kikyo has been expelled after being exposed of attempted murder to one of the students from Shikon High. Care to handle her status on the school records for me?"
"Already on it." Miroku opened up Kikyo's student file and did some changes. "There. Officially gone."
"Finally." Inuyasha smirked and he and his best friend did a high five.
"Don't be too relieved yet, man. She might come back to take revenge once more."
"I wouldn't worry if I were you. I doubt she'll ever come back."
"HEYOOOOOOOO!" A loud shout echoed across the room and Ayame slammed the door open with a huge fanged smile.
"No need to be so loud, Ayame."
"Street rules, man! So, how's your little girlfriend? Did you mark her yet? Did you?" Ayame excitedly looked up at Inuyasha with a hopeful look.
"No, Ayame, I haven't marked her yet, the last time I checked she's fifteen and so am I." He gave her an irritated look as she gave him a disappointed one in return.
"Aww man. Why must you be so killjoy?!" she wailed and Miroku chuckled as Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"But seriously Inuyasha. I'm begining to sense that your yokai is acting complete haywire and you haven't done a single thing to control it. We wouldn't want you going all Resident Evil and destroy everything in your sight." Miroku spoke up.
There was a slight pause until Ayame's loud laugh broke through the silence.
"Oh come on, Miroku, I think you're exaggerating it a bit too much." Inuyasha squinted his eyes at his best friend.
"Well, you'll never know. I'm just telling you to be careful."
Ayame laughed harder. "Man, its like watching a sitcom!"
"Shut up Ayame."
*time skip brought to you by Italy and PASTA~*
Kagome yawned and stretched her arms. It had been one hell of a month for her. She never expected it to be all crazy and exciting.
Her phone then rang and she quickly answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey. Its me."
She smiled upon hearing her boyfriend's voice. Back then just hearing his voice made her irritated, but seeing as a lot of crazy events drove them together, it instantly just changed.
"What's up?"
"Well, I'll be coming over your house later as soon as I help out Miroku here with our school reports for the council, just so you know."
"Aww, does Inu-kun miss me already?" she teased.
"Yeah, you got me. I miss you."
She chuckled. "I miss you too, Inuyasha. I'll tell my mom you're coming over."
"Great. I'll see you there then. Oh, wait," he interrupted before she could hang up. She raised her phone back up.
"What is it?"
"Just wanted you to remember..." There was a slight pause and another voice saying "Go ahead, I'm not even listening" in a hushed manner who she presumed to be Miroku. Eagerly she waited.
"Remember what?"
"That I love you, freak." he finally answered. She smiled once more.
"I love you too, doggy. But why the hesitant silence?"
"I wasn't hesitating! Its because that damn Miroku was listening to us!"
"Okay, okay, I believe you." she laughed as she heard Miroku say "I wasn't! Liar!" and other nonesense. "I gotta go home now. Bye."
"Bye. Be careful on your way."
"I will."
*at the Higurashi residence*
Kagome silently sipped on the hot chocolate at her bedroom, reading a book. A sigh escaped her lips and she set down the cup on her desk.
'Where is that man?' she thought, dialing her phone. It rang a few times until the monotone voice of the operator came, then followed by a beep.
"Why isn't he picking up?" she muttered, and suddenly yelped when two arms went around her waist and started pulling her back.
"Miss me?"
She pouted. "Damn it Inuyasha! No fair, you snuck up on me!"
He laughed. "I got you good, didn't I?"
"Yeah. You did."
There was a mischievous glint in her eyes as she raised a finger and started poking him on the cheek. "Wha-"
Poke.
"Kagome, stop it."
Poke.
"Kagome."
Poke.
"Seriously, I said stop."
Poke.
"I'll bite off your finger if you don't stop this."
Poke.
"Stahp. Just quit it."
Poke.
"I said quit it!" Suddenly Kagome found herself pinned on the floor, with a very pissed off Inuyasha hovering above her, his hands getting a tight grip on her wrists.
"Uh... Umm..." She felt her whole face grow red at the awkward position they were in.
"I have a tolerance of one, freak. Remember that," he told her huskily and started to lean down slowly.
"Or face the consequences."
"What do you mean-!" Without another word, he closed the gap between them and kissed her.
However, her brother stopped by at the wrong time. He saw their situation and began shouting,
"MOOOOM! THEY'RE MAKING BABIES!"
"NO WE WEREN'T YOU LITTLE NITWIT!"
