Who Needs to Knock?
"Whoa," Kagome murmured as she walked through the gates of Inuyasha's house. "How big is this thing?"
"Pretty big," Inuyasha replied modestly. "I got lost in here when I was eight, and my parents had to call to cops to come find me."
"…yikes."
Inuyasha chuckled and shifted his arm so his hand rested gently on her waist. "Just stick with me and you won't get lost."
The entire scene was so serene: a hidden mansion in the mountains with gardens as far as the eye could see. The white house stretched on for ages and Kagome simultaneously terrified and perfectly at ease. Contrasted against the snowy stone was a magnificent mahogany door.
She raised her hand to knock delicately on the front door, but Inuyasha held up his hand.
"Let me," he said. He took a step back and Kagome instinctually braced herself. It was a habit she had now; whenever he took a step back, she took three. She watched apprehensively as he casually adjusted his suit jacket. Then, as soon as her eyes slid close in a blink—
crash
Her eyes whipped open.
"INUYASHA!"
"What—?"
"You can't just kick down the door like that!"
"Why not?" he whined, ushering Kagome through the hole he created in the now-splintered wood.
"You should've knocked!"
"But why knock when you have feet?"
"I can't believe you. That's… so uncivilized!"
"As if my brother could be civilized," a cold voice drawled behind her.
Kagome turned slowly and…
her jaw dropped.
A/N: I guess I will do a sequel, then! I'm glad so many of you enjoy this storyline (if it even has one). If you have any suggestions as to what the sequel should be about, tell me! I would love to do a story that's a little more interactive or something :D
Also, only 2 more chapters left! Hooray!
