Disclaimer : I still don't own Inuyasha.
"INUYASHAAAAAA!!!!"
Kagome's scream shook the very foundation of the Higurashi shrine. "Get out from your room and face me like a real man." She pounded on Inuyasha's door angrily. The door suffered the abusing silently.
"Nuah, that's for splashing me with dirty water in the school today. You like strawberry jam, right." Inuyasha taunted Kagome from the safety confine of his room. He lay on his bed and snickered silently when Kagome continued her pounding on the door.
"Yes, I LIKE them WHEN they're on a TOAST but I DON'T like it when they were spread on my UNDERWEAR, you pervert."
"Oooh, I LOVE those lovely panties, Kagome dear. But I hope you buy sexier panties for your collection. Teddy bear prints are very childish ya-no."
The door creaked. Thank God for whoever created lock, Inuyasha thought. If not because of those things, the door would fall out from the treatment Kagome gave to his door. He smirked when Kagome stop her pounding on the poor abused door.
"What's wrong? Give up already?" He taunted again.
Kagome glared at the offending door that blocking her way to give a certain white-haired his punishment. If the door were alive, it would cower from the glare.
"Wait until you get out from this room, Inuyasha. You. Will. Be. Dead. I swear." Kagome stressed the threat in her words. Inuyasha shivered at the tone.
Kagome stomped to her room and shut her door violently. In the family's room, dust fell from the ceiling. Souta sighed.
"Ne, mama, why you don't stop them from fighting?" He bit his cracker. "My room will have no door in no time."
"Yes, Shiori. I don't think we have spare money to repair the broken property."
Shiori smiled. "It's fined, grandpa, Souta. Fighting is their way to show their affection to each other."
Souta remembered Kagome's reaction when Inuyasha entered the kitchen when she helped her mother to cook. She smiled evilly to Inuyasha and stroked the knife she held lovingly. He, the innocent bystander, was scared greatly when he entered the area to find snack. He swore to never get in between his sister and Inuyasha, not when he still wanted his life.
"I really don't think so, mama." Grandpa nodded, agreeing with him. "They're creating the World War III."
First KissChapter 6: The Preparations
By: Lafine
Sango watched the fight with growing boredom. Inuyasha and Kagome were engage in another of their sacred fight, namely taunting from Inuyasha and death threat from Kagome. The insults were passed between those two like ping-pong ball. Sango decided to voice her thought.
"Hey, don't you guys get bored with this?"
And like any other time, the quarrelling duo didn't give any attention. Sango sighed. No wonder the gossip said they're a HOT couple.
"Well, do whatever you like, I'm going to class first." She got up from her seat on the canteen bench and walk out the canteen. Kikyou had already returned to the class when she spotted Inuyasha entered the room. Miroku got up and followed Sango.
"Wait, Sango, I'm coming with you."
Sango watched him suspiciously when he walked beside her. The guy has tendency to grope the nearest female around him, Sango got the experience first-handed and Miroku was introduced with Sango's trusty bag at that time.
"What do you want, Houshin?" She asked the smiling guy beside her. The smile unnerved her. She didn't like it one bit.
"Nothing, I just want to go out from the battle field before blood was shed." He grinned. "They like each other a lot, ne."
Sango snorted. Inuyasha and Kagome? Oh please.
"I take it you don't trust me. It can't be helped with the way they're acting but I know my observation is right."
"That Kagome and Inuyasha like each other? If they can hear you now, you would be fried by them."
Miroku smiled again. "Then don't tell them. By the way, Sango, will you go to the festival?"
"Of course, I'm one of the representatives in my class."
"Oh, me too. Then will you go to the festival with me?" Miroku grasped Sango's hand and looked into her eyes seriously. "It's a date proposal."
Sango blushed. It's not the first time Miroku asked her to go to a date, but every time he asked her with his charming attitude, her heart started to beat faster and her face would feel hot. That is until he placed his hand on the prohibited area, like he was doing now. Miroku still had the serious expression but his hand was wandering below her back. Sango felt her veins pop.
SMACK
Miroku was on the floor with it's-hurt-but-worth-it smile. One of his cheeks got a red handprint. Sango stomped away angrily, muttering, "Pervert" on her way.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the meeting room, arguments from each class representatives were bouncing on the wall (figuratively). Well actually only Miroku and Takeda Kuranosuke from class C who was still arguing.
"Our class will open a café." Miroku told the festival's leader. "We already decided that on the last meeting. Why you change it now?"
"Houshin, the one who decided was you. Not all of us. Class C also wanted to open a café, so we decided to give the permission to them."
"Why them? Our class already finished all the preparations while them." Miroku pointed to class C representative. "Haven't prepared anything. It's a wise decision to give our class the permission rather than giving it to them."
"Objection. We can finish all the preparations before the festival begun, so you can give the permission to us."
Inuyasha snorted from his seat beside Miroku. He never like these kind of things, just leave it to Miroku to handle them. He placed his chin on his palm in a bored attitude. He looked around the room to find another who suffers like him. His eyes landed to Sango who has the same expression with Inuyasha. She was watching the argument with a clear disinterest. But her stare is turning into a glare at Miroku and Takeda. It is their fault the meeting became a drag. It's supposed to be finished half an hour ago.
Inuyasha moved his gaze to another person. Kikyou. She was sitting in a perfect style. From the start of the meeting until now. Inuyasha wondered if her neck and her back weren't stiff. On the other hand, maybe they already were. He moved his gaze again to look at the girl sitting beside Kikyou.
Kagome. The anger from lunch break was already gone from her face. In fact, she was talking happily to one of the representatives. A BOY representative. Without realizing it, Inuyasha growled. 'Why she never talks to me happily like that?'
Kagome forced her smile to look natural. She likes to talk with Hojo because he's polite, smart and everything that Inuyasha's not. However, he got something same with Inuyasha. Their stubbornness. Her throat already dry from the talk they have, she already tried to end the conversation but somehow Hojo managed to bring up another topic. She looked away in boredom when Hojo talked about another medicine that was good for health. 'You talk like I got rheumatic.' Kagome thought sullenly.
Inuyasha was startled when Kagome looked at his direction. Kagome was also startled when she realized Inuyasha has been looking at her. She gave him a tired smile. 'Don't want to fight here.' Kagome thought. Inuyasha however took the smile as a taunt. 'Grrr, did she think I'm jealous? That stuck-up girl.'
In the background Miroku and Takeda were still arguing.
"Give the permission to our class."
"No, our class would be better."
"No, we'll do better."
"No, we will be."
The childish arguing continued until Sango felt enough. She hit the table with both hand creating a loud BAM.
"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP?!"
All the people inside the room jumped. They looked at the fuming Sango worriedly. Sango was standing from her seat and she was definitely pissed off.
"Why don't both of you open the café with your own style? It will solve the problem easily, isn't it?" She said in threatening voice. She needed to go home fast. Kamisama would be playing in the next fifteen minutes and she doesn't want to miss any of the episodes.
Miroku looked stunned at Sango's outburst. Nevertheless, being the opportunistic boy he is, he walked to Sango and took both of Sango's hands with his.
"Sango …": He said in a serious tone then it turned into a joyful one. "You support me ^^ I know you love me."
"Idiot!" Sango punched the light out of Miroku. Kagome might never hit Inuyasha (Okay, so she slapped him once) but Sango was never afraid to use violence when she was angry.
The crowd "Oooh"ed when Miroku drop to the floor. Sango turned her fiery glare to the Makoto, the leader. The guy gulped under Sango's glare.
"That's my idea. Will you accept it or not?"
"Ummm which idea? Let them do their café project or KO Houshin and Takeda into oblivion?"
"Of course the first one."
"I guess it's … okay."
Sango smiled brilliantly at Makoto. The guy wiped his forehead with his handkerchief, happy because he wasn't under any life-threatening glare anymore.
"So, this meeting ends here." Sango already dashed out of the room when the sentence was done.
All the people just sighed happily.
Inuyasha dragged Miroku to the man's toilet and dumped a bucket of water over his head. Miroku woke up with a yell.
"Inuyasha, there are many ways to wake up a person, ya-no." He said when he twisted his drenched uniform. "And dumping water over them is included in the bad ways."
Inuyasha just snorted. "Come on Miroku, I don't have all day waiting your shirt to dry."
"And whose fault my shirt was wet in the first place?"
"Whatever."
Miroku sighed and put his damp shirt on. "If I get sick, then it's your fault."
They went out the school and went their separated ways. Higurashi's shrine and Miroku's house was in different direction from the school. Inuyasha walked home with a fast pace. His stomach was protesting to be fed since the meeting started. Moreover, the imagination of Mrs. Higurashi's tasty food wasn't a remedy. In fact, it's only made his hunger worse.
He turned around the corner and bumped into someone. That someone happened to be Kagome.
"Hey, be careful."
"I wanted to say sorry, but since its you, then I won't say it." Inuyasha crossed his arms and waited for another fight to begun.
It didn't.
"Hey, are you okay?" Inuyasha asked when he saw Kagome crouched on road and holding her right ankle.
"No, I'm not okay. That stupid driver and his car made me twist my ankle."
"How come?"
"Well, duh. Obviously the driver didn't know the speed limit on this area, and with his fancy car, he drove with excessive speed, almost hitting me. If I didn't get away in time, there would be a blood painting on the road now. He didn't even say sorry."
"And because you clumsy, you landed on the wrong foot and twisted your ankle. Should have thought about it."
Kagome glared. She stood and tried to walk away with a huff. Tried is the key word here. When she put her right foot on the land, the pain spread from her ankle to her other limbs. She cried in pain and fell down to the road again. Inuyasha caught her in time.
"Well, well, it seems like you can't walk." Inuyasha grinned, enjoying the situation. "What should I do? Leave you here or should I carry you? I don't know if I can carry your heavy ass."
Kagome bristled. She slapped Inuyasha's hands away from her shoulder.
"I don't need your help. Beside a thin guy like you couldn't even carry something weight more than two kg."
The insult was taken.
"Fine, then I won't help you."
"Fine then."
"Fine."
Inuyasha walked away, leaving Kagome alone in the street. With one hand against the wall, Kagome tried to walk again. More slowly this time. If I didn't put my weight on the right leg then it would be fine. She made a really, really, I mean reaaaally slow progress in walking home.
No longer after Kagome took five steps, Inuyasha turned back.
"Girl, you're going to slow." He said with an annoyed tone. "Give me your bag."
Inuyasha took her bag before Kagome could even voiced her answer. He crouched down in front of her.
"What are you doing?" Kagome said dubiously. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"I will carry you, what else? Your mother will be angry at me if she know I left her injured daughter alone."
Kagome climbed Inuyasha's back with uncertainty. Inuyasha stood up and Kagome has to grab Inuyasha's neck to keep her from falling.
"Oi, don't choke me."
"Ah, sorry." Kagome released her grip and immediately slid down again. Inuyasha hooked his hands behind Kagome's knees before Kagome met the cement road. He sighed. "You really are clumsy."
"Well, excuse me." Kagome said angrily. She circled her arms around Inuyasha's shoulder to keep her balance. "For your information, I don't like to piggy ride."
"Yeah, yeah whatever."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Mou, can't he be gentler? Stupid Inuyasha,' Kagome fumed silently. 'However, he's kind enough to give her help,' Kagome thought. Maybe he's not as bad as I thought him to be.
In addition, he's not skinny, that's for sure. With her position behind him and her leg circling his waist, she could feel that Inuyasha's body was slim and athletics under his uniform. Too bad she didn't pay attention to his body when she walked in on him. Kagome blushed. 'What are you thinking, Kagome?! You hate this guy remember.'
'Well yeah, but he helps me. And his scent is so good like sandalwood' Kagome thought when the wind wafted by, his long hair tickling her nose. Her instinct told her to lean on him and that is what she did. So warm and secure. Kagome's eyes droop down and she fell asleep in no time.
I wish he could be this nice everyday.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha chided himself for helping his greatest enemy. He should leave the troublesome girl to tend to her injury alone, not helping her and give her a ride. He could get his dinner by now.
'But I never thought she was this light. She's so easy to carry. Her skin is so smooth,' Inuyasha thought 'and her scent is so good.' He breathed deeper to remember the flowery scent. However, the wind blew her scent away from his breathing range. He stiffed involuntary when the girl on his back leaned down on him. Her breast pressed against his back. He blushed; thank God Kagome couldn't see his face right now.
Kagome's head fell on his shoulder.
"Kagome?"
A breath to his neck was her answer. Inuyasha turned his head to look at the sleeping girl.
"Asleep." He murmured. He tilted his head and kissed her forehead. "Nice dream."
He secured his hold on Kagome's knees and walked away with a secret smile on his face.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oi, wake up."
Kagome groaned a little when her nice sleep was disturbed. She opened her eyes lazily. "Huh, Inuyasha?"
"Get off, we're home." He didn't want her to get off his back but what would her mother said when she saw them like that. He regretfully released his hold when Kagome slid down his back.
"Hmmmm." Was Kagome's sleepy answer. She didn't want to leave the warm comfortable back. She slid down Inuyasha's back with reluctance. After Kagome stand on her two feet, silence fell.
"Ano … a … thank you, Inuyasha." Kagome said. "For your help."
"Keh, I did it because you can't take care of yourself."
"But I still thank you."
"Don't think anything about it."
Silence fell again. The situation is weird for both of them. Both felt uncomfortable for the first time, which is funny because they just get along fine. Thankfully, the awkward situation was broken up. The front door opened up and Shiori rushed out, almost tackling both Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Whoa, be careful, Ma'am." Inuyasha hold Shiori's shoulder to keep her from falling. Like mother, like daughter. Inuyasha thought. Both women are so clumsy.
"Inuyasha, thank God you're here."
"What's wrong mom?" Kagome asked her mother, worried.
"Inuyasha, your mother. She woke up from her coma."
