I own none of this. Me nada, God all.
Thanks to Ree, Steph, Helen, Meetie, Miss Hatch, Gem, Katie, Oyin, L-J . I could really go on. (Oh, and thanks to God for bringing me a pie.)
Shippo rubbed the large fresh lump on his head.
"Kagomeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Inu-Yasha did it again!"
Kagome looked up from her maths book to see the small fox demon prancing about clutching his head in pain.
"Inu-Yasha," she called, "why did you hit Shippo?"
Inu-Yasha peered over his branch at her and grunted in reply. Kagome smiled serenely, that was all the excuse she needed.
"Inu-Yasha, oswari."
He felt the weight around his neck tighten and bring him plummeting to the ground. Shippo cheered, Miroku raised and eyebrow and Sango looked mildly amused. Inu-Yasha raised a dirt-streaked face to Kagome and let forth a flow of obscenities. Sango clamped her hands over Shippo's ears and Miroku blushed slightly at a certain reference to Kagome and a long pointed stick.
"Oswari."
Inu-Yasha felt the ground again and Kagome packed up her books. Trying to concentrate when he was being such an idiot was just too hard. A small piece of paper floated to the ground, Shippo picked it up and waved it excitedly.
"Hey! Kagome! What's this?"
Inu-Yasha snatched the paper from him and read it.
"Halloween disco, fancy dress. Kagome, what's hall'o'een?"
Kagome snatched the paper back.
"It means 'all hallows eve'. It's when all the ghosts come out."
"And go to. what's a disco?"
"A disco, baka, is when people get together, play music and dance about."
"Oh."
Inu-Yasha was silent so Sango asked,
"Are you going Kagome-Chan?"
Inu-Yasha's ears pricked up. Kagome blushed slightly.
"Yes, Hojo's taking me."
"TAKING YOU?!"
"As in to the dance Inu-Yasha," Miroku soothed. "From what Kagome-sama has told us in the past he seems completely honorable in his intentions."
"Thank you houshi sama, eh!"
Miroku found himself being whacked over the head with Kagome's maths textbook. He held up his guilty hand in a gesture of apology.
"Sorry Kagome, I couldn't help myself."
"Pervert!" Kagome shouted, "You know, that's why I'm going to this thing. Because I'm sick of the only male attention I get being from a child fox demon, a perverted Buddhist monk and a half dog demon, and what kind of a wimpy name is Inu-Yasha anyway?"
With that she grabbed her bag, raced back to the well and had returned to her own country before Inu-Yasha could say 'Feh'.
*~*~*~*
Two weeks had passed since the incident and Kagome had returned. Together they had retrieved another piece of the Shikon no Tama and Kagome and Inu- Yasha hadn't had any other huge arguments. (There was a case with a rickety old bridge and an ill-timed oswari but we'll just skip over that for now.) It was October 30th. Outside the hut it was light but cold even though it was only midday. Kagome and Shippo were reading a book together under a blanket, Miroku sat contemplating life's mysteries, or how best to catch Sango bathing, Sango was playing with Kiara and Inu-Yasha was off sulking. No reason, he just liked sulking. Inu-Yasha strode into the room and sat down next to Kagome. He looked over at the book Kagome was reading to Shippo.
" 'The little teddy bear that goes shopping'. What's it about Kagome?"
"It's about a little teddy bear that goes shopping."
Inu-Yasha was silent for a few moments and then interrupted her again.
"But why does the bear go shopping."
"Because," Shippo piped up, "It needs to by cake and bread and ham and cheese for the picnic with Mrs Brown who looked after him when he got poorly."
The confusion on Inu-Yasha's face was apparent but he decided to ask no more and settled down to do some more sulking. Kagome quickly glanced at her watch and did a double take.
"AHHHH! I have to go!"
She gabbled and stood up making Shippo fall sharply to the floor. She pulled her massive yellow bag towards herself and addressed the rest of the group.
"I'm really late and I have to go back home for a test now. We'll meet tomorrow and continue looking for Shikon shards." She caught a look from Sango. "What?"
Sango smiled.
"I thought there was the small yet extremely important matter of a Halloween dance tomorrow."
Kagome sighed slightly, Inu-Yasha's ears pricked.
"Hojo caught Syphilis at the last moment, or at least that's what he says. I really think someone else has asked him. Someone with more time and who is actually there."
Inu-Yasha snorted, Kagome didn't hear him but Sango did. She shot him an evil glare and carried on.
"I'm sure that's not true."
"I'm sure it is." She sighed again. "Anyway, who wants to go to a stupid dance when I could be here. fighting demons, almost getting myself killed. I guess I just wanted something unconnected with the Shikon No Tama. Something that girls my age do."
Inu-Yasha looked at her. She did seem pretty broken up. He recalled the previous weeks of her excitement and for a moment he felt slightly bad. 'Slightly' and 'For a moment' he reminded himself and slouched off to his. Kagome watched him go.
"Sometimes I don't think he even knows I exist."
She confided in Sango.
