Sick As A Dog

Chapter 2: The Day After...



"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. "Wake up! You've been sleeping for the past 18 hours! Don't you think you should be getting back to the Feudal Era? I've got school, you know!" It was quiet for a second, so Kagome could hear her grandfather outside talking to someone. "Ah, yes! Hojou is it? Yes, Kagome is yet again sick. Seems like she came down with lukemia. Lost all her hair, I say. Terrible looking as of now. Too bad you can't see her. I don't think you would want to see anyway, the way she looks..." Kagome flinched. 'He lied to Hojou-kun AGAIN?!' she thought. "Ji- san!" she yelled, after Hojou had left. "WHY?!" she was on the verge of fustration tears. "I'm not sick, and I don't have lukemia! Why'd you tell HIM that?" Her grandfather smirked. "Isn't it obvious? I only told him that, so you could ditch school, and go to the Feudal Era, with that dog- boy friend of yours." The ninth-grader twitched. "I wanted to see Hojou! I haven't seen him in 3 weeks!" she rubbed her head. "I have a head-ache." The old man laughed. "Well, I wouldn't want that boy getting lukemia, because I let him see you, in your conditon..." "LUKEMIA ISN'T CONTAGIOUS!"

"Oww...I feel like I was being beat over the head with a boulder..." Inuyasha aroused from Kagome's futon. "Is this what she calls a...hang...over?" he rubbed his head. "Guess so." He looked out of the window. Something milky white was falling from the grey sky. 'Snow?' Inuyasha asked himself. He smiled. "I haven't seen snow in a long time. I almost forgot how it looked, even it's color..." "...lying to Hojou, like that...lukemia?..." Kagome stormed into her room, mumbling about her state of well being. "So, your awake now, right?" she asked, upon seeing the silver-haired boy sitting on her bed. "You have a bit of a hangover, seeing that you drank 13 bottles of sake, last night." she sat on her futon. "Since when do you drink sake, anyway?" Inuyasha didn't answer, just looked out of the window, at the snow.

"Oneechan..." Souta said, walking into his sister's room. "Your ramen's rea--" he stopped, then stuttered, seeing them both in the same bed. "Y-you and that d-dog-boy?" You didn't!" he fell over. "I'm tellin' mom!" he yelled, running out of the room. "Mom! Kagome, and the dog- boy...!" "SOUTA!" Kagome screamed. "You shouldn't be thinking stuff like that!"

"You shouldn't be DOIN' stuff like that!"

Kagome growled. "Inuyasha?" she asked. "Hmm?" he asked. "When, you went to sleep, last night, you said something about bearing Miroku's child." she twindled her fingers. "D-do you really want to?" she inquired, sheepishly. "NANI?" the half-youkai screamed. "I said that?!" he jumped from Kagome's bed. "Well, yeah...and I was wondering, if you really had something for Miroku-sama..." "That monk?!" he yelled. "How could I have a thing for him?! He's three fries short of a happy meal!" Souta walked back into Kagome's room, holding a box. "Mom says have this, and you should be ashamed of yourself..."

Inuyasha, then spazed. "Her, and me?! Are you nuts? There is now way...!" Kagome sprang from the futon. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, defensively. "It means what you think it means!" Inuyasha retorted. They argued like this for about an hour, until Inuyasha fell asleep. 'How dare he?' Kagome asked. "You know?" she asked herself quietly. "I think I liked Inuyasha drunk..." she said, swiftly holding a open bottle over Inuyasha's open mouth...
