Disclaimer: *picking petals out of a flower* I own inuyasha, I don't, I own inuyasha, I don't...*sigh*, nope, inuyasha and co. belong to Rumiko Takahashi, not this crazy girl plucking petals out of a flower.

Hey, hey everybody! I sincerely apologize for my not updating for a week, but I was just SOOOO busy! Anyhow, it's all in the past, right? ^_^ *gets evil glares* ahem...some of you asked why it's not in Inuyasha's point of view, hmmm...I was trying to stay away from that, but it's too tempting! I'll shut up now so you can go read the fic, enjoy!





Smudged Mascara and Plungers- Chapter 8



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



Inuyasha quietly snuck away from the crew, still whistling at him occasionally.

Kagome. That girl. She looked so much like Kikyou, too much, that when he was kissing her he pictured Kikyou there. But, there was something about Kagome that separated her from Kikyou. Her hair length, her smile, her beautiful eyes, her enticing scent, her...

'What am I thinking? Why would I find that wench interesting?' Inuyasha shook it off and proceeded to make his way to his trailer.

He pushed his door open only to see a dark figure sitting on his bed.

"What the fu-?!!" Inuyasha shouted.

"*sob* Inuyasha-you-you-BASTARD! *sob*"

Kikyou was sitting on the edge of his bed, the moonlight shining in from the window showed her smudged mascara and her pale face.

Inuyasha stammered. He hated it when girls cried, especially girls like Kikyou. "Come on, Kikyou. Please stop crying! You know I don't like it when you-"

She stood up and pointed a finger at him, screaming. "Why that bitch, Inuyasha? Hm? Why HER?!!!" Tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

Inuyasha was puzzled. "Who?"

That set Kikyou off. "Kagome! You jerk! It doesn't take a fucking genius to figure it out! You like her!"

"Kikyou, calm down- I do NOT like Kag-"

Kikyou hollered for the world to hear. "NO! I will NOT calm down! I saw you kiss her on the camera, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha snorted, this was why she was crying? "Kikyou, I'd think you'd be professional enough to know that's called acting. A-C-T-I-"

"SHUT UP!" Kikyou was now covering her mouth with her hands, still shaking. "It's not that. It's HOW you kissed her. That look in your eyes, you LIKED it a lot Inuyasha! How could you?"

He was confused, what look in his eyes? "Kikyou, I really don't know where we're going with this, but arguing over something as stupid as that-and I didn't ENJOY it, you know I only love you." Inuyasha stated calmly.

Kikyou's eyes softened as she smiled wickedly. "Oh really? Then prove it."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome had returned to her trailer by 9 at night. She still couldn't get over the kiss, Inuyasha's attractive golden eyes, his strong biceps...*sigh*

'Who am I kidding? He's just another egoistic actor too full of it. He probably wouldn't even give me the time of day if he had a choice.'

Kagome placed her bag in the corner of the room and stripped out of her dress, hung it neatly in the closet, and put on a white robe. She walked over to the tub and filled it with hot water and bubble bath stuff. She laid in it and completely relaxed her head against the bathtub blow-up pillow.

"Mmmm...this is so nice I could...just-" Kagome was already sound asleep in the bathtub, totally unaware of the trailer door she forgot to lock.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Man, is there a freakin' curfew in this place?' Inuyasha pondered to himself when he strode through the sea of trailers.

It was pitch black out and almost nothing was in sight except for a few lampposts shining an extremely faint glow.

In his hand was a bottle of graffiti, and both of his hands had gloves on them. Inuyasha still remembered perfectly what Kikyou had said to him back in his trailer...

"Inuyasha, here's what you do, sneak into Kagome's trailer and graffiti something like, I dunno, just stuff like 'fuck off!' or 'we all hate you, so stay away!' kind of thing, you know? Get the poor baby all sad; make her wish she hadn't gotten the lead."

Kikyou's face had seemed really excited, she was obviously still holding a grudge against Kagome for getting the better part, and seeing him kiss her made her even scarier than before.

"Kikyou, why do I have to go graffiti in a girl's trailer? What if I get caught? What if-"

Kikyou laughed. "Silly boy. First of all, you're doing this to prove to me you have no feelings for her. You won't get caught; Kagome shouldn't even be in her trailer according to what she told Sango today. The bitch was whining about having to go see her tutor tonight to make up for some tests in portable 465. So don't worry about it! I'll also give you the keys I got copies of for her door."

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. "And if I ask how you managed to get those keys?"

"Never mind that, Inuyasha. I have my ways. Now go! Make sure to trash it too! I can't wait to see her ugly face tomorrow after she freaks out about it!" Kikyou started to giggle and pushed Inuyasha out the door.

He WAS going to protest, but he couldn't. God knows what Kikyou could do if he disagreed. It's not like he was scared of her or anything, it's just, Kikyou could be pretty intimidating when she tried. Plus, no one would know it was him, right?

Snapping back to reality, he realised he had reached Kagome's trailer. Quietly pulling out the keys, he grabbed the doorknob and realised it wasn't locked.

'That girl probably thinks this world has no criminals whatsoever.' He thought.

Inuyasha, quiet as a mouse, tiptoed into her room. He was surprised to see her room was this clean and organized, unlike somebody he knew...

The room was filled with a flowery smell, and he instantly recognized it as just, well, Kagome. Before getting too carried away with this 'scent' crap, he decided to quickly get this stupid job over and done with.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



Kagome's eyes opened slightly when her ears picked up the sound of some scrounging outside the bathroom door. Her heart sped faster when she thought it was a burglar.

'What if he has a gun?' She thought, scared for her life. It didn't help that she was naked at the time either. She slipped out of the tub as unnoticeably as she could allow.

'Thank goodness for carpet!' She was relieved, that way her feet wouldn't make a sound. Slapping on her robe as soundless as possible, she grasped the plunger in her hand and got ready to attack. Too bad she was so frightened, she didn't realise just how ridiculous she looked when she kicked open the door.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha's sensitive ears heard movement for a split second, and he regretted not paying more attention to it when all of a sudden the bathroom door burst open. Kagome came running out in a robe, and was waving a...plunger around in the air with her eyes closed.

Dodging every swing of the disgusting-looking plunger, Inuyasha was just about to jump out the door when unfortunately; one swing hit him in the foot, sending him to the floor with a loud bang.

Kagome finally opened her eyes. She screamed when she saw Inuyasha toppled on her floor.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY TRAILER?!!" Kagome shouted.

Inuyasha rubbed his head and sat up to look at her, he looked down immediately with a blush on his face. Kagome was confused so she looked down to where he had been looking...her robe had, kind of loosened when she was chasing Inuyasha, showing quite a bit of cleavage. Her face reddened as she pulled the separate pieces together immediately.

"PERVERT! Now would you mind telling me why the HELL you're here in my trailer at night?" She screamed.

Inuyasha was at a loss for words. "Umm...I wanted...to um...apologize?"

Kagome snapped. "For what?"

"Umm...for being...rude?" He answered quietly.

"So you came here at this hour to apologize for being rude to me, that's a horrible excuse! Come on Inuyasha, you can do better than that! Now spill it!" Kagome asserted.

"It's true!" He yelled and muttered under his breath.

"Wench."

"I heard that!"

The whole time Inuyasha was trying to hide his graffiti can. Luckily he hadn't sprayed any yet, he just couldn't really bring himself to do it.

Kagome sighed. "All right, I'll forgive you for now, IF that was the reason you came. But, I can't completely forgive you for scaring the crap out of me, so you have to promise to do something for me." She grinned.

Inuyasha smirked. She believed him, thank god. "Name it."

Kagome laughed inside. This was the best idea she'd ever come up with. "In two days my friends are going to drive up to visit. YOU, are going to give them autographs, pictures, you name it! AND not to mention take them to dinner."

Inuyasha groaned. This wasn't what he had in mind. (A/N: what did he have in mind? Hehe ^_^)

"WHAT?!! No way! I have to entertain some hyper teenage girls? No way no how!" Inuyasha assured her.

Kagome knew he was going to disagree. "Fine then Inuyasha, I'll just tell everyone tomorrow that you snuck into my trailer last night when I was taking a bath, I'm sure Sesshoumaru wouldn't be too-"

Inuyasha cut in. "Alright! Alright! Blackmailer, but make it lunch!"

"Dinner."

"Lunch."

"Dinner."

"Lunch."

"Fine. But you'd better be nice! I don't want to hear any complaints from my friends, got it?" Kagome said.

Inuyasha held up his hands in defeat. "Alright! I got it, geez!"

Suddenly Inuyasha burst out laughing.

Kagome asked. "What's so funny?"

He pointed to the plunger Kagome was now waving in the air.

"Oh." Both of them started laughing until Kagome's side hurt and she stopped.

"Ok, that's enough. Now get out before everyone comes out to complain that we're too loud!" Kagome told him. "And have you noticed how this place is quiet so early it's like we all have curfews or something?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened and he just backed out the door. "One more thing, Kagome. I was just curious, since you still go to school do you have a tutor on set or something?"

Kagome said. "Oh yea, of course! But I only have classes in the mornings on the weekend though."

Inuyasha nodded. "Just curious. G'night."

Kagome smiled. "Good night Inuyasha."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

On his way back to his own trailer, only two things hung on Inuyasha's mind.

How Kikyou could, after all he had done for her, lie to his face and tell him Kagome had gone to portable whatever for tests.

Secondly, how good Kagome looked wet.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*
