Disclaimer: I must confess, I do not own Inuyasha, though I have tried. All
the stalking in the world won't change that apparently. But if you, too,
feel the need to stalk someone, especially someone who owns such a
delicious anime/manga and multiple others, stalk Rumiko Takahanshi. (Not
that I'm advocating stalking or anything ^_^)
Chapter Six: Oh my. . .
Miroku began to stir. Inuyasha quickly closed his eyes as the monk stood. Miroku saw and smirked as he approached the sleeping pair. "No need to pretend to be sleeping, Inuyasha. I saw you close your eyes." He whispered.
"Feh." He replied when his eyes flew back open.
Miroku looked at the position in which Kagome and Inuyasha were sleeping. "So you told her then? Congratulations."
"No, I didn't tell her. She fell asleep when I was trying to tell her. She just fell asleep on me and I didn't bother to move her."
"Well when are you going to tell her then?"
Inuyasha growled irritably. "When I have a chance and no one falls asleep. Mind your own business."
Miroku just shrugged and went off into the woods to collect more firewood. Not too long after Miroku left Sango and Shippou awoke. Inuyasha didn't bother to close his eyes again, he was sure he could come up with some excuse why they were sleeping like this.
Sango walked over to the fire. When she saw Kagome and Inuyasha her eyes grew large. O.o "Why are you two sleeping like this?" Had something happened between them? About time! Sango thought.
"Stupid wench just fell asleep on me. I tried to move her but she was making all sorts of noise and I thought it would be better not to wake the entire forest." Inuyasha answered coolly.
"Oh." I guess nothing happened. Poor Kagome has to wake up to someone as grumpy as him! I wonder why she likes him so much sometimes. Sango thought.
Shippou walked over to where Kagome and Inuyasha were and climbed into Kagome's arms. "Never can have too much sleep." He remarked as he curled up. He poked one eye open and looked at Inuyasha. "My mother and father used to sleep like this. Are you two going to be a mother and father too?" Sango giggled.
Inuyasha yelled at the little fox. "No! Her? There aren't enough Shikon no Tamas to pay me with to make me do that!" He sat up quickly, moving Kagome's head. She was already awake due to Inuyasha's yelling. She noticed how she was lying (again) and sat up.
"Wench! Finally decided to wake have you?" Inuyasha said, trying hard to seem normal.
"Why were we sleeping like that?" Kagome asked.
"You fell asleep on me last night. I decided not to move you because you'd wake up. I figured you'd want your beauty sleep."
Kagome's eyes flashed. "So I'm ugly am I?"
"That's not what I meant!"
"SIT! You're so stupid and, and. . ." Kagome trailed off. She turned to Sango, feeling a little hurt. Why was he always so sweet one moment and then such a rat the next? Miroku had just walked onto the scene.
"And that is why, Shippou, you never call a woman ugly in the morning." He remarked.
"So when is a good time to call a woman ugly? Lunch time? Supper time? I suppose you would know this since you're such an expert on women." Sango asked Miroku. He suddenly grew uncomfortable from the intense glares coming from the women.
"Uh. . ." Inuyasha laughed at the uncomfortable monk. Kagome stopped glaring at Miroku to turn back to Inuyasha. "What are you laughing at?" she asked. "You're the one who insulted me. Laugh again and I'll say the word."
Inuyasha quickly stopped laughing and glared at Kagome. "Threaten me any more and you won't live to regret it."
"Oh please, you need your shard detector. We both know that's an empty threat."
This girl is such a hassle! First I try and be nice, then I act normal and what do I get? A sit and an argument. Inuyasha thought.
Miroku looked at the quarreling pair. What an odd way to say 'I love you.' Miroku looked at Sango. If I loved someone I'd just come out and say it.
Sango caught Miroku looking at her. "What?" she snapped.
"I think you're beautiful."
"You also have asked nearly every girl who has had the unlucky chance to cross your path to have your baby. Do you really think that saying that I'm beautiful is going to flatter me?"
"In my defense, I've only asked those I've deemed worthy. They must pass a rigorous examine in my head."
"Yeah," Inuyasha interjected. "How nice they look without clothes on."
Sango, now fuming, hit Miroku over the head with her boomerang. Miroku fell to the ground and didn't get up immediately. Inuyasha grabbed the wood that the monk had gathered and began building up a fire. Kagome and Sango began to fix breakfast while Shippou looked on.
Breakfast was nearly as quiet as dinner had been the night before. Soon they began repacking and getting ready to leave. Kagome hopped onto Inuyasha's back quietly while Sango, Miroku and Shippou climbed onto Kirara.
As they rose into the air, Inuyasha murmured an apology to Kagome. "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to call you ugly."
"I suppose you're right. I should try and not to jump to conclusions like that, everyone says things they don't mean." She touched his hair a little, brushing the strands apart with her fingers. "What have you been trying to say for the last few days?" she asked.
"Oh, well. . ." I love you! His head screamed. Say it, now's your chance! As Inuyasha paused, Kagome heard the sound of some one being slapped and Shippou giggling behind them. Finally, Inuyasha continued. "I like it when you're here more than when you're not." A little bit off. . . he told himself.
Kagome's brow furrowed. He likes it better when I'm here? Not exactly a declaration of love but not quite a declaration of hate either. "You do?"
"Yes, and since you hate those tests so much, why don't you just skip them and stay here all the time?" was his hurried response.
Kagome smiled to herself while Inuyasha beat himself up on the inside. "I like it better when I'm here too, but you know I can't just give up school and my family like that."
"Well you could visit every once on a while."
Kagome rested her head in Inuyasha's shoulder so their faces were nearly touching. "You know I can't."
Inuyasha sighed as Kagome turned her head so her nose was touching his neck. "say Inuyasha? You make a nice pillow."
"Feh." He responded while smiling to himself.
The minutes slipped by in silence as Inuyasha sniffed the air and led the way to Hojou. This is the strongest his scent has been, Inuyasha thought. It's like he's right- "Here!" Inuyasha shouted the last word. He descended down into a small patch of trees with a large cave nearby. Kirara followed. Once they had landed, they walked toward the cave cautiously, as not to make too noise. Soon the cave was in sight and they could make out Kikyou and Hojou. They were sitting outside the cave together. Hojou's head was resting on Kikyou's lap and she was stroking his head gently. They were talking to each other softly. The group looked on in shock. Kagome looked to Inuyasha. His face was a mixture of astonishment and disgust, but not anger or jealousy. Kagome secretly thanked Kikyou for the moment. Now she knew for certain that any thoughts about Kikyou and Inuyahsa were completely ludicrous. Kagome turned back to Kikyou and Hojou. As Kikyou lowered her face to Hojou's to kiss him, Shippou shouted, "Ew!" very audibly.
Okay, sorry, I know I said Monday but we had a snowday and since I can only load these up at school, it was pretty much impossible to get it up then. Muhahahaha Kikyou and Hojou, the thought makes my stomach turn. Okay, so that was the one the summary labels as one you won't expect, but how many of you saw it coming? As I was writing the next chapter, I swear I paused to yell out "Disgusting!". I really did, it freaked out my sister. So, before you kill me for not posting another chapter (I had homework to do!), why don't you hit me up with a review? I'm a complete review junkie now, look at the monster you've created. ^-~
