When Inu-Yasha Met Kagome…
Chapter Two
By:

Tomoe (Saturn Angels)
Kagome grumbled some as they both walked into the small restaurant, "Two please." Kagome said once they walked inside the door. Amazingly there was no wait and Kagome and Inu-Yasha got a table relatively quickly.
They sat in silence until a waitress came up to them and handed them both menus. She took out a notepad from her pocket and a pencil from behind her ear, "What'll ya have to drink?" she asked as she looked at the two waiting for one to order.
Inu-Yasha glanced at the menu for awhile trying to decide what to get to drink, "Liquor. I'll be needing the strongest you have to drown out this wench's constant whining." He added as he jabbed his thumb towards Kagome.
The waitress looked at Kagome. Kagome mouthed the words 'Dilute it.', and the waitress nodded and jotted it down in her notebook, "And you, ma'am?"
"A glass of water will be fine, thank you." Kagome said as she flipped through the menu. The waitress said she'd be back with their drinks and would be ready to take their order.
Once again there was silence between the two. Then Kagome, always the silence-breaker, decided to say something.
"So, I'm going to pay for the dinner. So, you have to stop being mean to me."
He raised an eyebrow, "When did I agree to that?"
Kagome stared at him, how could he forget something that had happened five minutes ago? She paused and said slowly acting as if she was explaining something to a small child, "I asked you to stop calling me rude things and you replied, and I quote, 'After you pay for the food…" then she paused before adding what his last word had been figuring he would recognize the sentence better if it was there, "…wench."
He seemed to consider it for a little while then shrugged, "If I did say that, which I doubt, then I lied."
Kagome was about to answer, or slap him, when the waitress came back and placed their drinks on the table, she then brought out her pad and pencil again, "So, what are you going to order?"
Kagome opened her mouth to speak but Inu-Yasha spoke first interrupting her, "I'll have the number 3." The waitress wrote this on her notepad and looked at Kagome, "And you?"
"I'll have the chef salad please, with the oil and vinegar on the side. And then I'll have the apple pie a la mode."
The waitress repeated the order quietly to herself as she wrote it down.
"I'd like the pie heated," Kagome continued, "with the ice cream on the side. I want strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it, if not then whipped cream and it has to be the real thing, if it's out of the can then nothing."
"Not even the pie?" The waitress asked with a slight sweatdrop.
"No, just the pie, but then not heated." Kagome said and the waitress tried to write it all down.
"I'll be back with your order in about fifteen minutes to half an hour." Then she walked away shaking her head slightly as she crossed out and edited a few things on the piece of paper.
When Kagome looked back Inu-Yasha was staring at her.
"What?" she asked irritably still not over the fact that he had lied to her, she should make him pay for the meal! But she doubted a vagabond like him would carry any money with him.
He continued to stare at her as if she were some alien from another planet sent to Earth to make his life hell.
When Kagome thought he meant to say nothing she occupied herself by studying the table.
"Are you crazy?" he asked and she looked up and glared at him.
"Why do you say that?"
"What the hell kind of order did you place? I wasn't sure if you were ordering a meal or giving directions on how to properly organize a person's life."
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked as she stuck her tongue out, "I order just like everyone else."
Inu-Yasha laughed slightly, and it wasn't a kind laugh of… laughter it was sort of a mocking 'I'm smarter then you so HAH!' laugh. Then he imitated her, "I'll have the apple pie a la mode but I want strawberry not vanilla. On the side. If not then I want whipped cream and it has to be real, on the side! If it isn't then I'll just have the pie by itself," he used an incredibly high-pitched and annoying voice for this.
"That was a horrible imitation!" Kagome accused as she pouted.
"Feh. If you could hear yourself." Inu-Yasha said as he rolled his eyes and took a sip from his drink.
The rest of the wait was left in silence, Kagome definitely didn't want to break the silence again. The waitress came and handed them their plates and then left the two to eat.
Kagome stared down at her plate in dismay, the salad was fine: the vinegar and oil on the side as asked. But the pie a la mode was a totally different story. First of all there was whipped cream on top of it and vanilla ice cream to the side. She had asked for strawberry and had said she didn't want vanilla! How much clearer could you get? Her instructions were simple to follow!
She looked at Inu-Yasha's plate which was comprised of basically a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and some other ingredients, and French fries.
'What an unhealthy eater.' Kagome thought as she shook her head at his poor taste of nutrition. Inu-Yasha didn't notice her disappointment as he all but ate the burger in one bite.
Kagome scoffed slightly and began eating her salad.
"You shouldn't give her a tip," Inu-Yasha said after he finished swallowing.
"Huh?" Kagome looked up at Inu-Yasha confused.
"She got your order wrong, idiot," Inu-Yasha said as he motioned towards the pie.
If Inu-Yasha was able to follow her order then why couldn't the waitress? I mean she couldn't really imagine Inu-Yasha, or a guy like Inu-Yasha, having any intellect at all.
"That doesn't mean I won't give her a tip!" Kagome exclaimed.
Inu-Yasha shrugged, "It's your money."
After they both finished Kagome paid and, being the generous person she was, left a tip.
Kagome headed to the passenger seat and Inu-Yasha spoke, "It's your turn to drive, wench."
Kagome shot him a death glare as she walked towards him where he was standing, next to the hood of the car. They stood there for a while glaring at each other.
Inu-Yasha truly couldn't stand her. She had the most childlike voice, so full of happiness and hope for the future. Her optimism was another down point, and would most likely be the death of him. She never shut up, always talking about how good things were, or complaining, or arguing with him! The point was she couldn't stay quiet for two minutes if her life depended on it, and her naivety alone was enough to drive one insane.
Kagome had never hated someone before, but Inu-Yasha was about to be the first person she could say without a doubt that she despised, loathed even. He always thought so highly of himself, being so cocky and full of pride. He never cared about anyone else but himself. Everyone else seemed insufficient in comparison to him, in his point of view at least. His eyes were a fierce, spiteful golden color that always seemed to mock you; his silver-colored hair too angelic for the him and his foul mouth was a reminder of his rebellious self.
"…"
"…"
All at once, they lunged at one another and their lips met in a hot and fiery kiss. Inu-Yasha backed her up against the hood of the car and trailed his lips to her neck hungrily while she just about ripped his shirt off.
It was then that the door to the restaurant opened and out stepped the waitress. In a matter of seconds she saw the two practically entangled with one another: Inu-Yasha with his hand up Kagome's skirt, her hands were up Inu-Yasha's shirt, while they were devouring one another. This sight caused the waitress to blush and she looked away while holding out some money, "Um…I over-charged you on accident. Here's your correct…bill."
Kagome glanced at Inu-Yasha and he glanced back at her, they both yelled and practically jumped away from each other. Kagome not saying anything and Inu-Yasha yelling, "Stupid whore!"
"Mou!" Kagome said as she put her hands on her hips a very angry expression written on her features, "Keep the change for yourself." Kagome added then walked to the driver's seat and waited for Inu-Yasha to get in. She didn't have to wait very long, moments later he was seated comfortably in the front seat, which was reclined.
Kagome stared at him a sour expression on her face as she backed up the car and drove away from the restaurant heading to their destination, New York City.
"We're just going to be friends," Kagome said stressing the word friends.
"Who said I ever wanted to be friends?" Inu-Yasha said with his eyes half-closed lazily.
Kagome frowned, "…You came on to me!"
"You were the one who came onto me." Inu-Yasha said then added, "whore."
Kagome recognized this as a new word for his list that now was comprised of: wench, bitch, and whore. "I did NOT!" she yelled, "Alright. We are just going to be friends, for the duration of this trip! So none of us kills the other before we get to New York."
"You realize of course we could never be friends." Inu-Yasha said nonchalantly, his eyes now fully closed. Anyone looking would have thought he was asleep if it had not been for his mouth moving.
"Why not?" Kagome asked raising an eyebrow.
"A man can't be friends with a woman. Especially a woman he finds attractive."
Kagome paused slightly, "So, does this mean you find me attractive?
"I never said that. I said a man can't be friends with a woman. You are not one of the 'especially' 's."
"Well that's really nice," Kagome said sarcastically.
"Isn't it though?" Inu-Yasha said as he yawned.
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked after a moment of silence.
No response.
For a while she thought he had died, and she was more then ready to throw him out of the car when he mumbled something and began snoring. He was sleeping!
The nerve of him!
A devious grin spread across Kagome's usually innocent features, that kiss must have really messed up her mind. She turned the volume knob to the radio all the way to the left, meaning it was mute, before she turned it on then looked for something that would fit her purposes.
She found a death metal station then raised it to full volume.
*RAVENOUS!!!!!!!!*
Inu-Yasha all but sprang from his seat clutching at his heart, "WHATTHEHELL!?" he cried his words barely spaced so they created one long sound.
Kagome lowered the volume again quickly and smiled sweetly at him, "Were you sleeping Inu-chan?" she asked innocently.
"Feh. Stupid wench," Inu-Yasha said as he turned his back to her ready to try sleeping again.
*I NEED… YOUR FLES-*
Kagome saw Inu-Yasha twitch before she lowered the volume and he turned and glared at her, "Fine you stupid wench, I'll stay up."
So the rest of the night they stayed up having small conversations; neither of them really interested in the topics. Here is what one of their conversations looked like:
"I spy…something that starts with R!" Kagome said, it was her turn riding shotgun and Inu-Yasha was driving, looking not at all pleased.
"Rock." He answered simply.
"Cheater. Another round! I spy with my eye something that starts with I!"
"Can't you just count trees instead of pestering me with your stupid childish games?"
"…One, two, three…four, five…um…twelve."
"Six comes after five, you stupid wench."
"Just checking to see if you could count," she replied with a sweet smile and he muttered something under his breath.
It was quiet for a few minutes as they drove through a town. Kagome pressed her forehead against the window as she looked outside.
"Wanna stop for coffee or cocoa, or something?" Kagome asked as she pointed to a Barnes & Nobles Booksellers building.
"Feh," was his response and he drove up to the small shop, "Hurry up."
"…What?" Kagome asked blinking at him, "Aren't you coming inside?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"…Because I don't want to be seen with you, just get me some coffee."
"Well that's nice, Inu-Yasha." Kagome said with a childish pout.
And the guy even had the nerve to smirk then kick her out of the car.
She grumbled and pulled her sweater closer to her, just for that she'd take her time! She just hoped he would still be there when she got back, after all it was her car.
She walked in and ordered two black coffees, once she got her order she paid and took some sugar packets. She looked out the window at her car. It was still there and, deciding not to go along with her plan to make him wait she headed outside.
"What took you so long?" Inu-Yasha asked from his seat, which wasn't the driver's seat. I guess he had decided to switch while she was gone.
Kagome handed him his coffee then set hers down on her seat, "I'll be right back Inu-Yasha."
"Where are you going?" he questioned as he raised an eyebrow.
"…To the ladies' room. Geez, aren't you nosy?" she got up and walked to where the restrooms were. They were behind the main building of Barnes and Noble and you had to pay ten cents to use them. She slipped a dime into the notch and walked inside.
(Skipping, skipping, skipping…)
She washed her hands, and dried them using one of those coarse brown paper towels. She fixed her hair up a bit, reapplied some makeup, and then walked outside. She walked to the car and climbed into the driver's seat forgetting that she had put the coffee there.
"AGH!" Kagome's yell filled the car as she sat on the hot liquid.
Through Kagome's yelps of pain and irritation she could clearly hear Inu-Yasha laughing.
"This is NOT FUNNY!" she yelled as she jumped up and down outside of the car trying to see the damage that was done to her skirt. This of course only made Inu-Yasha laugh louder.
Inu-Yasha cleared his throat after a while yet took one look at her and he began shaking with laughter again.
"This isn't funny." She repeated her previous statement though she didn't yell. She stomped her foot on the ground in frustration, "How am I supposed to drive now!?"
Snicker, snicker, "Is that a trick question?"
Growl, "NO!" she cried then she looked at her skirt, then at the driver's seat that had liquid spilled all over it and her eyes began watering, she sniffled a few times and Inu-Yasha's laughter died down.
She heard an exasperated sigh and the opening and slamming of a car door, "Go get a towel."
"A paper towel?" Kagome asked, still sniffling, confused.
"No, a towel. A TOWEL."
"Oh. That kind of towel…" she answered sniffling as she opened the trunk to the car and rummaged through a few bags, finally she pulled out a yellow smiley face towel and handed it to him.
He stared at it, "…Smiley-face towel?"
"It's all I'm willing to get," sniffle, "plus! I don't see why you need it…"
"Get in the front seat," he commanded and she did as she was told. He draped the towel over the driver's seat and folded it a couple times so it covered the spill fairly well. He sat down on the seat, towel and all, and started up the car."
"C-Couldn't you have just wiped up the spill with the towel, then let me drive?" Kagome asked blinking up at him.
"Call me lazy," he answered with a shrug then he drove out of the parking lot mumbling, "by the way, go ahead and have my drink. I'm not that thirsty."
She looked up at him and blushed slightly, then she turned and looked out the window. 'Maybe he's not as bad as I thought he was…'
