When Inu-Yasha Met Kagome…
Chapter Three
By:
Fantasy Girl (Saturn Angels)
Tomoe (Saturn Angels)
Kagome sat curled up in a loose ball in the reclined front seat sleeping, she was snoring softly as she buried herself further into the blankets that were draped over her.
Inu-Yasha muttered something to himself as he passed yet another sign. This time it said,
80 miles to New York
McDonalds 5 miles
He glanced at the inert form lying beside him sleeping peacefully, "Oi."
Some grumbling.
"Oi," he said louder this time and tapped her shoulder.
Grumbling and the shrugging of the shoulder.
Suddenly he chuckled almost evilly, he wondered if she had left the radio on the same station…well he could always check. He raised the radio to full blast.
*ROOTS! BLOODY ROOT-*
"KYYAAH!" Kagome sat up, "What was that for?" Kagome asked a bit annoyed before she yawned and stretched.
"Are you hungry?" He asked answering and ignoring her question at the same time.
"…Not really, are you?"
"No."
"Then why'd you wake me up? I was having such a nice dream!" Kagome said as she lowered herself onto the reclined seat and was about to attempt sleep again when Kagome thought of a comment she should bring up about now, "Remind me to get the radio taken out of the car."
Right before Kagome was completely in the warm embrace of the dream world Inu-Yasha asked, "What were you dreaming about?"
Kagome was silent for a moment trying to recollect everything (Note: …This is a dream me (Tomoe) had about two days ago. Heh…) that she had dreamt, "I don't remember it all entirely…but I do know was that you were in it…"
He raised an eyebrow at this but kept his eyes on the road.
"And so was my brother…and… we were at a haunted mansion! You had dog-ears though…and a rosary! And every time I said…something…you'd fall to the ground. Well I don't remember what the word was so I'll just continue, well we were in this haunted mansion and it was nighttime and I heard creaking downstairs…or was it upstairs…?"
"Just continue with your dream, wench."
"Hmph." Kagome thought for a while before continuing, "Well I went outside, and there were these stairs leading to the basement, so I went down there. And there was a ghost in there! And he was wearing ice-skates!"
"Ice-skates?" Inu-Yasha asked skeptically.
"Yeah! That's what I was thinking! Well he was wearing ice-skates and he was ice-skating on the wooden floor! Anyway he kidnapped me, I guess he wasn't really a ghost, and he tried to kill me! And then you came and saved me! Well we all left the house and I got really sick-"
"And the world rejoiced?" Inu-Yasha put in jokingly.
"…No." Kagome said then stuck her tongue out before continuing with her dream, "So I got sick and we went to a hotel and I stayed inside; and you, my brother, this little kid with a fluffy tail, your brother, and another kid went trick-or-treating. And you and your brother were scaring the trick-or-treaters! And…that's all I remember."
"How'd you know I had a brother?" Inu-Yasha asked curiously.
"Amanda told me! She never shut up about you over the phone! It was Inu-Yasha this, Inu-Yasha that, Inu-Yasha did this, Inu-Yasha did that, Inu-Yasha looked so cute when, guess what Inu-Yasha did, Inu-Yasha, Inu-Yasha, Inu-Yasha!"
Inu-Yasha suddenly got a tint of pink on his cheeks, "What exactly does she say about me?"
"Stuff."
"What stuff?"
"Like when your birthday is…you know. What your favorite color is…what your latest diary entry says-"
"I guess I'll be expecting a present from you then-" he paused, "Wait! What do you mean the 'latest entry in my diary'!?"
Kagome paused and twiddled her fingers innocently, "…I never said that…"
"I don't even have a diary!"
"What about that little black notebook you carry around that says 'You read you die' in it?"
"That is not a diary!" He said angrily.
"What is it then?" Kagome asked with a raised eyebrow.
"A journal," he said after a pause.
"What's the difference?" Kagome asked.
He shot a glare at her, "Shut up wench."
'UGH! And I thought he was actually going to start being nice!' Kagome thought as she growled angrily and shut her eyes trying to sleep again.
They passed another road sign, Kagome was now far from the treacherous reach of sleep and she stared out at the window. She saw a sign that said,
80 miles to New York
McDonalds 5 miles
She blinked a bit…that sign looked oddly familiar. 'déjà vu' she thought then sighed and kept her eyes on the scenery.
Fifteen Minutes Later…
'80 miles to New York
McDonalds 5 miles'
"…Inu-Yasha I think we're heading in circles." Kagome pointed out as she recognized the sign.
"Impossible."
"Inu-Yasha? I seriously think we're going in circles."
"Stop bugging me wench. You ruin my concentration."
"Inu-Yasha…?"
"What?"
"We passed by the same sign five times, I think we're heading in circles. Let's just stop at that gas station and ask for directions."
"No!"
"Why not!?"
"I know where I'm going."
"At least look at the map then!" Kagome pleaded.
"I don't need a map!"
Kagome sighed and gave up, "FINE! Wake me up when you realize how wrong you are!"
"Keh. We'll be in New York by the time you wake up."
Kagome scoffed then buried herself in the blankets once more, and amazingly against all odds she fell asleep again feeling a little guilty about Inu-Yasha driving for two shifts in a row.
Little did she know, once Inu-Yasha was sure Kagome was asleep he stopped at a gas station, and unbelievably; for everyone knows that no guy, in his right mind, would ask for directions; asked for directions.
One and a half hours later…
"Wench!"
Some mumbling then her eyes opened and she blinked a few times to adjust to the light outside, "Where are we?" She asked after reminding herself to breathe.
"New York." Inu-Yasha said triumphantly.
Kagome lifted the lever at the side of her seat and was thrown into a sitting position, "This isn't New York…" she said looking around. Then she spotted something glimmering in the distance.
"Well since I've driven for six hours straight, I figured I'd let you drive for the next half hour."
Kagome stuck her tongue out at him childishly then realized he deserved to have half an hour of rest considering that he did drive six hours, and he did let her have his coffee, and she did disrupt his sleep earlier. The reasons went on for a while, "Fine." She said finally then the two switched seats, Inu-Yasha plopping gracefully into the front seat, and with a content sigh fell asleep.
Half an hour later…
"Inu-Yasha? Inu-Yasha?"
No response. Dead, maybe.
"Inu-Yasha?"
Nothing.
"Inu-Yaaaasshaaa?"
Still nothing.
"INU-YASHA!"
The springing of the person, the banging of head against roof, and the distinguishable, "WENCH!"
And then a 'hmph' from Kagome, "You wouldn't get up!" then she smiled brightly and motioned around her at the tall skyscrapers, "We're here!"
He looked around a small smirk adorning his features, "About time!" He looked at Kagome then, his expression softening, "…Kagome?" he asked slowly.
Kagome sniffled a little and wiped the tears that had managed to fall, "We're like best friends now! It's going to be sort of boring without you…" '…and your superiority complex…' she added to herself.
He looked at her for a while longer his expression unreadable then he smirked, "It's always boring without me."
She let out a laugh that sounded more like a quick exhale of breath then she looked awhile longer at him.
"Well I better get going." He said as he climbed out of the car and went to get his bags, "Bye."
As he walked away Kagome mumbled softly, more to herself then to him, "Pity. You were the only person I knew in New York..." And with those as her final words she watched him disappear from her view before driving off to start her new life.
