Falling Star
Inuyasha leaped for the swings as soon as they got there, Kagome laughing as she followed.
"Lucky there aren't any kids here," she remarked thankfully.
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah, we get the WHOLE park to ourselves!"
Kagome watched him rub his hands in anticipation as he laughed manically and couldn't help but noticed how childish he was being. Like going back in time, almost. "Yeah," she smiled.
Inuyasha swung back and forth as fast and as high as he could. He seemed to be having the time of his life.
"You don't get a lot of fun like this as a celebrity, do you?" Kagome asked, simply watching him as she swung slightly in either direction.
Inuyasha slowed himself down so he could talk to her. "Nope. When you're a celebrity, often times, normal life becomes out of the question. I don't have enough time anymore to hang out at the mall or go to the park or anything like that. I perform at concerts, rather than attend them. I tutor my tutor rather than go to school," Inuyasha sighed, "The only time I ever get to interact with people my own age is at award ceremonies or collaborations."
Kagome nodded, understanding, "Yeah, the only reason you and Kikyo even met was because she's a model, right?"
Inuyasha nodded.
"Did she ever tell you how she was discovered?" Kagome wondered aloud.
Inuyasha nodded, "She was walking around at the mall with her friends when a scout approached her."
Kagome looked down at her shoes. "She's really lucky, being born pretty enough to be a model." And snagging you as a boyfriend...
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "There's lots of girls out there just as pretty as she is who aren't models."
Kagome nodded, still looking at her shoes. "Yeah, I know. Some of them go to my school." Kagome then became acutely aware that Inuyasha had stopped swinging. She turned to find him glaring at her. "What?"
"I don't like this," Inuyasha responded.
Kagome blinked in surprise. "Swinging?" She got up off her swing, "We can go over to the monkey bars now, if you'd like." She began to head towards the monkey bars when Inuyasha grabbed hold of her arm.
"No, I love swinging," Inuyasha replied, "It's the way this conversation is going that I don't like."
Kagome blinked in confusion.
"'She's really lucky, being born pretty enough to be a model.' 'Yeah, I know. Some of them go to my school.'" Inuyasha quoted, "You talk as if you're ugly or something."
Kagome blushed as her eyes widened then fell to her feet. "I know I'm not ugly...I'm just not...well I just don't feel..." She looked up when she felt Inuyasha got off his swing. She looked back down when she felt him approach her. Her face heated up even more when he placed his hands on either side of her face and lifted her gaze to match his own.
"You're beautiful Kagome and don't let alone tell you any different," Inuyasha snapped.
Kagome blinked in surprise. Her face darkened. "But you said wasn't cute."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "That's because you're too beautiful to just be cute."
Kagome's face heated up even more. She meant to feel cheeks but her hands accidentally landed upon Inuyasha.
"Sorry to interrupt the lover birds!" a familiar voice called from the tire swings.
Inuyasha's face heated up as he realized what he was doing yet he remained frozen.
"Doesn't it just need a sunset to be perfect!" a female familiar voice called.
Kagome eyes widened, "AYAME!"
The first voice chuckled, "Yeah. What a ladies man, Yash. And here I thought nothing would be happening between you two."
Inuyasha's hands dropped from Kagome's face and he turned to glare at Shippo.
"Get a room!" Shippo continued, hollering.
Inuyasha's scowl deepened as he charged for Shippo. "SHUT UP RUNT!"
Shippo started running, laughing all the way. "Catch me if you can, you Neanderthal!"
Ayame joined Kagome in where she stood, somewhat still frozen in time. Ayame smiled knowingly at Kagome.
"H-He called me beautiful," Kagome's hands were on her cheek in shock. "I'm not dreaming, he really did call me beautiful."
Ayame felt an excitement rise up in her for her friend. She grabbed a hold of Kagome's hands as they began jumping up and down excitedly. "You're so LUCKY!" she cried, "Kouga didn't even want to come with us to the park." Ayame smirked, realizing something. "Now I know, he should have."
Kagome and Ayame halted in their excitement as they turned to watch the boys.
Shippo swung on the monkey bars, smirking back at Inuyasha who was chasing him on foot. "YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE! MWA HA HA!"
"Why you little-" Inuyasha cried as he grabbed onto Shippo's leg.
Shippo shook his leg violently. "Help me! Help me!"
Ayame laughed, "They really seem to be having fun. Looks like I was worried for nothing."
Kagome turned to Ayame, missing Shippo's distress signal. "Worried about what?"
"Well, I recently discovered how Shippo spends his leisure time," Ayame answered, "It sucked. He made it sound like he has no friends."
"Aw!" Kagome replied and turned to Shippo with sad expression as Inuyasha began to bury him in sand.
Ayame smiled brightly at the cousins, "But I forgot, he has his cousin."
"And his cousin's band mates," Kagome added before she headed over to save Shippo.
"Thank you! Thank you! My Saviour!" Shippo cried when Kagome pulled him out from under the sand. He hugged her legs thankfully.
Inuyasha sighed disappointed, "And I was almost done burying him alive."
Kagome turned to glare at Inuyasha.
"I was gonna dig him out..." Inuyasha protested.
Kagome's glare didn't waver.
"Eventually..." Inuyasha looked down at the sand.
Kagome's glare remained adamant.
"If I remembered..."
Kagome's glare intensified.
"I'm sorry, Shippo," Inuyasha relented as he got up off his knees and dusted the sand off his body.
Shippo turned to Inuyasha and sneered, "Apology accepted."
Inuyasha stared at Kagome. "Did you see that?!"
Kagome's glare was still strong. "No, I did not."
Inuyasha pouted and sulked.
Shippo looked between Inuyasha and Kagome. He turned to Inuyasha. "Race ya to the slide!"
"YOU'RE ON!" Inuyasha snapped and they both shot forward towards the slide.
Ayame and Kagome both chortled maternally as they watched the boys race.
"And to think, they probably wouldn't be having this much fun if you hadn't have kissed Inuyasha at the concert," Ayame remarked.
Kagome's smile fell off her face.
Zing! I'm glad all of you found the end of the last chapter hilarious...
