'Without Kagome here to sense if demons are coming our way……what am I to do
if some demon randomly attacks me? What if I'm in danger and I need one of
Kagome's magical arrows to save me? It's almost the time of the new moon……
oh what am I to do if I die in my human state and Kagome comes back and
finds me dead?' All these thoughts rushed through Inuyasha's mind as he
jumped in and out of the well, trying desperately to reach Kagome, to tell
her how she really felt. 'I must tell her soon…..lest I die in some battle
unbeknownst to her……..' but the well gave no avail. It was sealed shut.
Inuyasha decided to let himself in by banging the top of the well and
arousing the family members. *Bang bang bang* *Bonk bonk bonk* "C'mon!!"
Inuyasha yelled, frustrated.
Meanwhile, in the Higurashi home, gramps' sensitive ears picked up Inuyasha's banging. "What do you supposed that noise is? It can't be the rain…..it seems like its coming from the well house," he mused. Kagome stopped shoving her chopsticks in her mouth and turned pale white.
"-what? The well house?" she stuttered. 'Oh no, if it's Inuyasha I'm going to KILL him! Why does he want to come back here?! But I guess I won't have to worry about turning into a demon in front of him now, because we're inside the house!' Kagome thought cheerily. "Why don't you go in the well house and check to see if there are any centipede ladies in there?" Kagome said with a tad-bit of sarcasm. She half thought that her grampa would just forget about it and not go outside. Nothing usually bothered her grampa during dinner.
"All right!" Gramps said without fear. Kagome's jaw dropped down. 'He's g- going!?'
"Don't get soaked, daddy," Mrs. Higurashi said, worriedly. She ran to the closet and fetched a huge oversized black umbrella and handed it to Gramps.
"Arigatou," Gramps said as he put on his shiny polished boots and went outside. As he neared the well house, the banging became louder and more distinct, obvious that it WAS coming from the well house. Gramps entered the well house and took a flashlight out of his huge raincoat pocket. He looked around and the sealing scroll caught his eye. "Ahh…….so Kagome sealed him up," Gramps said and chuckled lightly. He snapped off the scroll and threw open the well top. "Why, good evening, Inuyasha." Gramps chuckled. "You're just in time for dinner! Would you like to join us?" he asked politely. Inuyasha grunted and strode off into the rain and into the Higurashi house. Gramps looked puzzled at this dog-demon's rude behavior and followed after him into the house. The door flew open. Kagome looked towards the direction of the door in shock. "Gramps! Are you all right?" she flew towards the door with a cup of hot tea for her grampa, but instead, she saw Inuyasha standing there, water dripping from his long silver hair, giving her a cold, cold stare.
"Kagome." He said with equal coldness in his voice that his stare rendered.
"Inuyasha! I wasn't expecting you! Would you like to come in for some tea?" she said, offering the cup to him. He shook his head no, and at the same time, he shook his whole body free of cold water droplets. The water droplets landed all over Kagome's body and she turned into a demon right then and there. "AH!" she screamed and poured the hot tea all over herself. Thankfully, Inuyasha didn't see. She sighed with relief, her heart still pounding wildly inside of her rib cage. "Inuyasha!!! Why don't you just ask for a towel or something instead of shaking it all over me?" the tea cup clattered onto the floor, making a big noise and interrupting the silence. Inuyasha looked down at the shattered tea cup and saucer on the floor. He looked at it questioningly and then looked up at Kagome.
"What happened to that?" he asked. Kagome didn't know what to say.
"I sort of dropped it when you were um……shaking yourself." She said with a little nod. Inuyasha peered at her suspiciously. He squinted his eyes at her as if to scrutinize her mind.
"Are you keeping something from me?" he asked, scratching his chin. Kagome looked at him in total surprise. 'He's not that easy to fool, despite how stubborn he is,' she thought angrily.
"No! Not at all, Inuyasha!" she said, in a definite but also unsure at the same time tone. "How could you possibly think I was keeping something from……" Inuyasha shook himself again, testing her, this time, watching her closely. But Sota came from behind to Kagome's rescue and splashed some hot water on her. Kagome whirled around to see who had rescued her and gave Sota a little wink.
'Hm…….if it doesn't work now, I'll be sure to find out later,' Inuyasha noted. 'Seems like she's afraid of cold water or something like that,' he mused. Kagome was stricken with fear. She had just encountered an almost revealing secret about herself.
'Oh, my God…..' she was staring down at the ground, her heart pumping so hard inside of her that she thought her rib cage would break. "Um…." She said shakily. "Do you uh……happen to want some food?" She asked, smiling nervously, pointing towards the dining area.
"Nah, I think I'll just have a cup of water…… is that okay?" he said, casually, plan brewing up in his mind. "Uh….make it cold water, please," he added with extra courteousness. "Since my ……..new moon day is coming up, my body is really sensitive to heated liquids and stuff." He said, sounding knowledgeable. His eyes gave a little twinkle from the reflection of the bright light, but Kagome didn't notice. She went into the kitchen and got out a glass and filled it with cold drinking water. She sent Sota to give it to Inuyasha just in case something happened.
'Damn that wench! Sending her brother to give me the water! Thoughtful girl she is…….maybe she's suspecting that I'm suspecting something,' he scratched his chin thoughtfully and drank the water down in a gulp. Sota was waiting patiently next to him to retrieve the cup and bring it back into the kitchen. "Thanks, man." Inuyasha said, and burped loudly. Sota made a face of disgust and asked,
"Would you like some more water, Inuyasha? Or do you want some food?"
"No, thanks." He said, and grabbed a pillow off the couch and prepared for a snooze. Sota wandered back idly into the kitchen where gramps and Mrs. Higurashi were still dining. "Um…….Mom? Did anybody invite Inuyasha to sleep here tonight?" he asked, uncertainly. Mrs. Higurashi's eyes scanned the room, looking for possible 'victims'.
"Um……no, Sota, darling, I don't think so……. Why? Is he snoozing in the middle of the room?"
"Uh…..YEA ~!" Sota said, glancing back, with a valley-girl like voice. "As a matter of fact, he's like, sleeping with his back against the stairs……" Kagome's face flushed.
"How am I supposed to get to my room!?" she cried. Inuyasha, meanwhile, was still awake and was faking the whole thing. This night, he would ask Sota for another glass of water and drink half of it and take the rest up to Kagome's room and dump it on her to see her reaction!!!!
'BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Perfect plan! I'll be sure to see what's going on!!!!!'
~Later that night~
The Higurashis were situated in front of the television watching a soap opera. Inuyasha pretended to be sleepy as he opened an eye and looked at the small family.
"Sota." He said softly but Sota didn't hear. "Sota! Hey! Hey, kid!" he said louder.
"Huh?" Sota looked around and saw Inuyasha and trotted over to him.
"You got some more cold drinking water, kid?"
"Yea, sure. Be right back," he said, without a clue, heading towards the kitchen. Inuyasha smirked.
'Man, this kid is wayyyy to easy. Just way to innocent.' He thought to himself. 'This is going to be one hilarious night…….' He thought just as Sota came back with the water.
Meanwhile, in the Higurashi home, gramps' sensitive ears picked up Inuyasha's banging. "What do you supposed that noise is? It can't be the rain…..it seems like its coming from the well house," he mused. Kagome stopped shoving her chopsticks in her mouth and turned pale white.
