Chapter 7
The following morning, Kagome gets dressed in her school uniform. "Where are you going, Kagome?" Sango asks her as she gets into a nice outfit thanks to Kagome's clothes in her closet. "I have to go to school, Sango." Kagome answers her like it was obvious. That's when Sango thought of something. "But then why do you were it back in the Feudal Era if it's only for the school?" Sango is in Kagome's pair of jeans with a t-shirt and a pink fleece sweater.
Kagome giggles, "It's the latest trend back here. Even after school, the girls usually like to wear all day." Sango seems to get that. "Ok, I was just curious. Nothing more." She sits back onto Kagome's bed and soon Kirara lays on her shoulder. "I bet my mom or grandpa would like to have to get this place tidied up." Kagome tells her as she grabs her school uniform sweater. "But don't you have a longer skirt if it's going to be cold outside?" Sango asks seeing that the skirt of Kagome's uniform is a bit too short to wear in this kind of weather.
"I do. However my school will decide when the girls will get to wear the longer skirts. Sadly it's not today." Kagome explains the school's policy of the dress code. "I never knew that your school would be that strict." Sango comments as Kagome brushes her hair. "Tell me about it, Sango. I just wish that they could change the dress code for gym." Kagome tells her. "Why is that?" Sango asks her curiously. "I'll show you when I get back home. We need to eat breakfast." Kagome gesture Sango to follow her out of her bedroom and down to the kitchen where everyone else is having their breakfast.
Miroku places the dishes into the sink. So far, he's just wearing his usually robes, which is natural since he's staying at the shrine which is also appropriate. He turns around to spot Sango about to sit down. "My, you look absolutely lovely, Sango. I can see that Kagome's clothes fits you very well." He compliments to her. Sango slightly blushes and begins to eat. As soon as Kagome finishes her meal, Inuyasha finished his. "Alright, I'm heading off." He tells the group. "Where are you going?" Shippo asks him. "I'm just going to take Kagome to school." He casually tells the kid. "I wanna come too." He about to get out of his sit. "No. You're going to stay here, Shippo. The people out here don't know anything about demons living out here. Even Kirara has to stay here too." Kagome tells him. "But during Halloween, everyone will be something for the holiday and you and Sota can go trick-or-treating." She explains to him.
"So then, what am I supposed to do all day?" He asks. "You can help out around the shrine. My grandpa wouldn't mind the help." Kagome suggests as she turns to her grandpa. "As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, I'm fine with it." Grandpa agrees with the terms. Shippo sighs in disappointment. "Okay." Kagome smiles, "Good, I'll bring something for you on my way home." She ruffles his head and goes outside where Inuyasha is waiting for her.
Inuyasha carries Kagome onto his back and leaps from one building roof to the next until they get to a block close to her school. "You know we could've just landed onto the school roof instead." He complaints as he walks behind her. "And be spotted by the others? No way I'm going to be the talk of the day. I don't want you to be seen either. Do you have any idea what would happen if someone saw you?" Kagome turns around with annoyance. Her three nosy friends would have give her advice about her secret boyfriend. No way she's going to take that. "Ok, point taken, I'll come back by the time you come out. But I prefer that you get onto the room instead." Inuyasha crosses his arms. "Inuyasha, I can't do that. I'll be out by 3:00 pm. That should be more than enough time to have for yourself. I bet there are somethings that you can help out at home." Kagome offers before running off.
As such, Inuyasha leaps back onto the rooves of the buildings and heads back to Kagome's house. When he lands at the shrine grounds, he notices Miroku sweeping the leaves. "Ah you're back already." He said as he sets the broom onto the fence. "Yeah, Kagome doesn't want me to the be seen by the school." Inuyasha spoke back to see that the shrine is doing fine so far. "I see that Kagome doesn't want anyone to know about us. Well not yet though." Miroku stretches his body. "What's that suppose to mean?" Inuyasha asks him suspiciously. "Think about it. Only during Halloween that we can blend in with the crowd without being suspicious. You saw how eager Shippo was when he was told about what happens during that time." He had to be as understanding as possible. "Ok, I get. I'm just bored as it is. I don't know what do to at this point." Inuyasha just complained to him.
"Ok, so then what is it that you want to do?" Miroku asks him. Inuyasha takes a few seconds, "Maybe a nap." He said that out loud though for Miroku to hear him. "Then do that. I bet you're still tired from our journey. We didn't make much progress anyway." He urges Inuyasha. Without wasting another second, Inuyasha goes into the house and take a nap. Inuyasha goes straight to Kagome's bedroom to take that well deserved nap, but he spots Shippo snuggled up in the spare blanket on her. "Ok runt, up and at 'em." Inuyasha pulls the kid right out of the blanket's warmth and carries him down to the living room. Sango looks up from stroking Kirara's back.
"Whoa." She shouts as she catches Shippo's into her arms after Inuyasha tosses him. "I'm going to take a nap. And I don't want this runt to ruin it." Inuyasha tells her as heads back upstairs. Shippo whimpers after being tosses. "Sango, why would he do that? What did I ever do to him?" Sango comforts the kid. "Nothing at all. He's been through a lot lately. He just needs a tranquil spot to recover." She spoke to him softly. "But why Kagome's room? There's other spots to rest up." Shippo points out the other options. "It's her scent that calms him down." Ai comes into the living room with a tray of tea for them. "Her scent?" Shippo looks at her. "You see, the moment Inuyasha came into Kagome's room, her scent was the first thing that calmed him down." Ai describes the essential of Kagome's scent works on him.
Shippo blinks his eyes, "Really? Whenever I'm in there, I could tell that her scent was in there, but there was another scent that was mixed in. But I can't tell it any further." Sango looks at Ai. "It's her father's scent that lingers in there from time to time." Ai tell them.
Hello fellow followers, sorry for the long wait. It's Halloween which means I have to resume this story that I wrote and put on hold last year. This time I'll make sure it's finished by the end of the month.
